There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 570 Qin Liner's Worries (Part Two)

"I, I, I... I didn't mean that, county magistrate, don't think too much." Mu Zilan kept apologizing.

The owner of Yong'an County sneered, "Why don't you make me think more about what you said? Then what do you want me to think?"

"I, I, I..." Mu Zilan couldn't tell why.

She begged everyone for help, look at this, look at that.

Hope someone else has something nice to say about her.

However, no one paid any attention to her.

The two sisters of the Cao family wanted her to be scolded. Lu You's stepwife Wang Yun was a smooth person, and she rarely came out to offend others, let alone stand out.

The other two young girls, who were not of high status, were trying to curry favor with the County Lord Yong'an, so how could they speak for Mu Zilan?
The two pretended not to see her eyes, and turned to look at the spring scenery of West Lake ahead.

Mu Zilan was dumbfounded. Aren't they the two who usually play well with her?

She was in trouble and didn't help?

Li Jiaoniang saw this in her eyes, she chuckled in her heart, and everyone pushed the wall down, Mu Zilan didn't understand such a simple question?

The owner of Yong'an County snorted coldly, turned around and left with his sleeves flung, "Going back home, it's boring to go shopping."

She walked back the same way.

Everyone followed her in twos and threes, got into the carriage parked in front, and went home.

Mu Zilan's carriage had just stopped in front of her house when Qin Lin'er came in the carriage.

She got out of the carriage first and went to call Qin Lin'er.

"Qin Liner? Why do you have time to come and play with me today?" Mu Zilan walked to Qin Liner's carriage, raised the curtain to look at Qin Liner in the carriage.

Qin Lin'er learned that Mu Zilan also yearned for Zhao Cong in her heart, so she stopped playing with Mu Zilan.

The two haven't seen each other for many days.

Qin Lin'er met County Lord Yong'an on the road just now, and learned from County Lord Yong'an that Mu Zilan offended County Lord Yong'an, and County Lord Yong'an severely scolded Mu Zilan.

The reason was that Mu Zilan, with such a big mouth, dared to accuse Sang and Huai of calling Yong'an County Lord.

Qin Lin'er wanted to see Mu Zilan's embarrassment.

She didn't get out of the carriage either, she just sat in the carriage and looked at Mu Zilan with a chuckle.

"I heard that you originally wanted to ridicule Li Jiaoniang, but she laughed at you instead?" Qin Lin'er said with a smile, "You said that you, the granddaughter of a dignified third-rank university scholar, or the only granddaughter, can't be said to have come from a country. Your little lady? You are such a waste. No wonder you were scolded by the owner of Yong'an County!"

Mu Zilan had just been scolded by the Yong'an county magistrate, and she felt very uncomfortable.

When I got home and wanted to be quiet for a while, I met Qin Lin'er mocking her again.

Mu Zilan was upset, and immediately sneered, "It sounds like you are quite capable. Although I haven't said anything about Li Jiaoniang, I haven't lost any money!"

"..."

"And you, you lost [-] guan, right? No, no, I remembered wrongly. You were fined [-] guan for instigating your servants to harm people and horses? That is to say, you were robbed of [-] guan by Li Jiaoniang?"

At the mention of [-] guan, Qin Lin'er's face became as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Mu Zilan!" She gritted her teeth, "There's no end for us!"

Mu Zilan snorted coldly, she could never stop, she is not afraid of Qin Lin'er now.

Her grandfather told her that Qin Hui was dying soon.

Once Qin Hui died, the power of the Qin family would be reduced by half.

At that time, let's see how arrogant Qin Lin'er is!

The two stared at each other and walked away.

.

Qin Lin'er ordered the coachman to drive to Qin Hui's house.

Qin Hui and his wife, Wang Shi, like Qin Lin'er very much.

Qin Lin'er went to the door almost every day.

As soon as she entered the prime minister's mansion, she saw her cousin Qin Xun.

This cousin, who was not much older than her, always looked at her with eyes as cold as ice skates.

Seeing Qin Xun approaching, Qin Lin'er raised her skirt and ran to another road as usual.

Qin Xun didn't like this domineering cousin, every time she ran away from him, he pretended not to see her.

But this time, he called her.

"Lin'er, stop for me!"

Qin Xun is the little patriarch of the Qin family, and he takes care of all the big and small matters in the family.

Qin Lin'er's parents were also afraid of Qin Xun, so Qin Lin'er didn't dare to run away, so she had to shrink her neck and walk back.

Her maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to vent her anger, and followed carefully.

"I have something to tell you." Qin Xun said without waiting for her to approach.

Qin Lin'er asked carefully, "Brother Xun, what's the matter?"

"I heard people in the house say that you always like to run to Li's house recently when you have nothing to do. I know what you want to do, isn't it just a loss of [-] yuan? As for keeping it in mind?" Qin Xun said coldly.

Qin Lin'er refused to admit it, she went to hang around Li Jiao's mother's house in three or two days.

She lifted her chin and said, "I didn't go there to wander around. The road in front of the house is so wide that it just passes a carriage. Can't I go? I saw other carriages passing there too. Why does brother only say me, Not to mention other carriages."

Qin Xun said, "It would be best not to harass the people in Li's house. Now that grandpa is sick, many people in the court are no longer standing in line with our family. You'd better not cause trouble!"

Qin Lin'er was reprimanded by Qin Xun since childhood.

She just took it as Qin Xun's daily lecture, and didn't take it to heart at all.

"I know I know." She said perfunctorily.

"Not only to know, but also to remember." Qin Xun reminded again.

Qin Liner became impatient, "Understood."

She waved at Qin Xun and went to see Qin Hui.

Qin Hui fell ill with a cold.

But because of getting older, the old diseases of the past have also been brought out.

Therefore, the disease has not stopped intermittently from the first month to the middle of February.

Not coughing, but wheezing.

Sometimes fever and headache, accompanied by dizziness.

Looking at this disease, it seems to be getting worse day by day.

Because Qin Hui was a pivotal figure in the Qin family, his illness was kept hidden from time to time.

Outsiders only know that they occasionally feel a cold, but they don't know that they are terminally ill.

Sometimes he can go up to court occasionally, but he is just holding on.

When I came back, I fell asleep for a while, and then I asked a few doctors for consultation.

Wang complained, "It's all like this, so why go to court?"

But if you don't go to court, you can't do it. Staying at home and taking medicine to invite adults will make outsiders even more suspicious.

If they fail, they will attack them in groups.

A part of the court is rehabilitating the Yue family army.

If Qin Hui doesn't go to court, then the matter of rehabilitating him will be done!

Wang's heart was anxious, but she had no choice but to do so.

When Qin Lin'er went to see Qin Hui, Qin Hui had just returned from the palace, had just taken a rest after seeing the doctor and taking medicine.

Qin Lin'er failed to speak to Qin Hui, so she talked to Wang Shi outside.

"Grandmother, uncle will be fine, you don't have to worry." Qin Lin'er comforted Wang.

Wang said, "I'm not only worried about your uncle and grandfather, I'm also worried about your brother Xun."

Qin Lin'er said, "Worried about him? He is amazing, do you still need to worry?"

Wang said, "The day after tomorrow is the lock hall test. I'm worried that he won't get the first place in the test."

Qin Liner smiled and said, "It's not a name roll, everyone looks at brother Xun's name, how dare you not give our Qin family face?"

Wang said, "No, no, this year's lock hall test is not that simple. The person who graded the papers has changed, and that person is a student of the Mu family. Your uncle is worried that the ranking will be taken away by the Mu family."

Qin Lin'er felt unhappy when she thought about being teased by Mu Zilan just now.

She knew that Mu Zilan had several cousins ​​who would also take the exam, such as Mu Xuan who was only studying with the Prince of Enping County.

If Mu Xuan wants to be promoted, he has to take the exam.

If Mu Xuan got the first place in the test, Qin Xun would have nothing to do.

Although, Qin Xun always scolds her, but no matter what, they are all family.

Qin Lin'er still hoped that Qin Xun would win.

She thought for a while and said, "Grandmother, I'll ask my father to meet the person who graded the examination papers."

Mrs. Wang is also thinking about this matter.

After Qin Hui, the pillar of the family, fell ill, there were so many people in the family, but few people could do things.

The eldest grandson, Qin Xun, hated evil like a vengeful enemy. He would not do this even if he was beaten to death. His son, Qin Xun, could not speak.

It really depends on the people from the side branch to come forward.

Wang said, "That would be the best. Go and invite your father over immediately, and I will tell him in person."

Qin Lin'er said happily, "Okay, I'll go find my father right away."

.

The matter is serious and urgent.

Qin Lin'er soon found her father, and the father and daughter came to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

At this time, Qin Hui had already woken up.

He just listened to his wife Wang's suggestion.

This point, he had already thought about it.

It's just that he has limited energy recently, and after dealing with one thing, he has to rest in bed for a while.

Nephews and grandnieces ran errands for him, which was best.

"This is a handwritten letter, you must do it well." Qin Hui handed the letter he had just written to his nephew.

Qin Lin'er's father said, "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will not disappoint uncle."

.

At the gate of Chen Shilang's house in the Ministry of Rites, a strange carriage suddenly came this day.

The carriage is unfamiliar, but the business card of the carriage is not unfamiliar.

The word "Qin Mansion" is engraved in gold.

The gatekeeper didn't dare to be careless, and immediately stood with his hands down, waiting for the owner of the carriage to get off the carriage.

You know, although Chen Shilang is a third-rank, in front of the Qin family, even in front of a steward, the third-rank servant is nothing more than that.

Beating a dog depends on the owner.

Not long after, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and a thin middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.

The gatekeeper recognized him. This is Qin Hui's nephew, who works in the Imperial Academy.

He thought to himself, why is this guy here?

"Master Qin." The gatekeeper stepped forward to say hello.

Qin Lin'er's father stepped forward proudly with his hands behind his back, "Is your Master Chen at home?"

"Yes, the master didn't go out when he came back from court." The servant replied, took the post and ordered the servant on the side of the house door to pass it quickly into the mansion.

The gatekeeper led Qin Lin'er's father to the gate of the mansion.

The other two gatekeepers didn't dare to leave, and stood on both sides of the gate with their hands down.

Opposite the Chen family is a teahouse.

Juan was sitting at a table near the window in the teahouse, drinking tea and nibbling watermelon seeds.

After he recognized the carriage, he threw down the watermelon seeds with black shells and white seeds, and immediately threw out the little gray furry ball in his arms, "It's your turn to find the way."

The gray-haired curly ball bared its teeth, "Hey, it's my errand again."

According to Li Jiaoniang's order, it rushed into Chen's study and eavesdropped.

After eavesdropping for a while, when I came out again, I took out a letter.

It threw the letter in front of Juan.

Juan recognized the inscription on it: Qin

He was happy, "Let's go home and do business with my wife."

……

Li Jiaoniang went out today, riding in the carriage of the Cao family sisters.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, after learning that the chief examiner and examiner were Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Rites, she didn't want Juan to drive the car.

She arranged for Juan to sit in the teahouse opposite Chen Shilang's house and drink tea every day.

Seeing the Qin family coming to the door, they released gray hairy balls to eavesdrop.

According to the progress of history, Qin Hui was worried that his grandson would not be able to take the first place in the lock hall test, and would put pressure on Chen Shilang.

He was ordered to release water during the examination and marking.

Later, Qin Hui's grandson Qin Xun got No.1 as he wished, and Lu You came in second.

Qin Hui was suppressed one after another. The No.2 Lu You didn't even have the chance to become an official. It was not until Qin Hui's death in the second year, and Qin Xun's father, Qin Xun, that he couldn't afford to make big waves. Only then did Lu You have the opportunity to retake the exam and re-enter the official position. .

Zhao Cong needs capable people by his side.

But it will take too long to wait until next year for Lu You to come to help.

She didn't want to wait that long.

Li Jiaoniang decided to make an early move.

In the evening, Juan returned.

Before he entered the main room of the East Wing, he said happily, "Master, the letter has been brought back."

Li Jiaoniang walked into the main room and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Hey, it's the little guy's credit for not working hard." Juan smiled naively.

Li Jiaoniang took the letter and shook it open to read.

The contents inside were pretty much what she expected.

It was Qin Hui who wrote to Chen Shilang, and did not explicitly ask Chen Shilang to take special care of Qin Xun, but threatened him with his official position.

Then, he mentioned what benefits the Chen family would have if Qin Xun won the first place.

The implication of these words is that Chen Shilang should take special care of Qin Xun.

.

Luo Cheng came back a bit late, he didn't come back until dinner was on the table.

Li Jiaoniang immediately showed the letter to Luo Cheng.
