I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 19

Since ancient times, aunts have not been allowed to be on the stage. Even if a woman from a good family raises her to be an aunt, her status is only slightly higher than that of a servant, and she is not allowed to see guests casually. I don't want to, and I dare not say it.

When Qin Yang came back in the evening, Jiang shi preoccupied the servant girls to put the food and drinks on the table, even Qin Yu and Qin Meng served on the table together.

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for three years, so we need to have a few drinks tonight." Qin Du jumped out of his temper and raised his glass cheerfully.

Qin Jin glanced at him indifferently, Qin Du suddenly blushed, and said hastily: "Brother doesn't know, dad usually doesn't allow me to drink, so I can take advantage of my brother when he comes back."

"Hmph, I don't know where I learned the rules when I drink a little wine." Qin Yang snorted coldly, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't Aunt Liu come?"

The originally lively atmosphere became cold because of one sentence.Qin Yang looked at Jiang Shi, Jiang Shi's mouth twitched and did not speak.

Qin Meng, on the other hand, felt wronged for her mother. During the day, she did not dare to say that her father, who loved her so much, came back, and she became more courageous. She pouted and glanced at Jiang, and replied, "Mother won't let me."

Qin Yang suppressed the smile on his face and did not speak, but looked at Jiang Shi.Jiang shi turned his head aside and didn't speak.Obviously unwilling to talk to Qin Yang.

"Go and call your aunt, today is a beautiful day, the whole family should be happy." Qin Yang frowned and said to Qin Meng.

Qin Meng glanced at Qin Jin tremblingly, seeing that he didn't speak, she looked at Jiang Shi again, Jiang Shi sneered and didn't stop her.Qin Meng became more courageous, and ran away quickly, regardless of her brother Qin Yu pulling his clothes.After a while, Aunt Liu came again with her support.

Aunt Liu is in her thirties and is well maintained. She came over gracefully and was about to sit down at the lower seat.

"Our family, when can even my aunt be at the table?"

Aunt Liu paused and looked at Qin Jin.Not only her, but even Qin Yang, Qin Yu, and others all looked at Qin Jin.

Only the Jiang family and Qin, who knew him well, were not surprised. Qin shook his head, thinking that his father was so stupid that he even carried his aunt outside on such a day.

Qin Yang's face was very ugly, he didn't expect his son to disobey his words in public, he would look at Qin Jin unhappily, looking at the livid face of his eldest son, he suddenly felt that his son had changed a lot.Even his father was a little scared.Three years ago, he was the General Protector of the Country, but he was still frivolous all over his body, but when he came back now, the aura around him made people dare not approach him, and he looked much calmer and more mature, with an unpredictable temperament.He thought that Qin Jin had acquiesced to his decision by not speaking just now, but who would have thought that he would suddenly say such a sentence when Aunt Liu came.

It's embarrassing and embarrassing.

As the head of the family, he was embarrassed by his son and felt a little embarrassed.

The people at the table looked at Qin Jin from time to time, and secretly looked at Qin Yang, no one dared to speak, even Qin Meng blushed looking at Qin Jin and dared not speak.

Qin Yu sighed inwardly, stood up and supported Aunt Liu, and said, "I'll help Auntie go back."

Aunt Liu complained and shook off Qin Yu's hand, standing there without moving.

Aunt Liu was about to cry, she looked at her master with aggrieved eyes, but her eyes drifted to the scariest one in the family from time to time.Even Qin Meng burst into tears when she opened her mouth suddenly, hugging her aunt's arm aggrievedly, quite unable to get off the stage.

Qin Yang's face became even more ugly, it's embarrassing.What's more, he is also Qin Jin's father, so he suddenly stiffened and said angrily: "She is your aunt, I, the head of the family, must have the right?"

Qin Jin put the chopsticks on the table with a 'snap', which made everyone's hearts tremble, but he looked at Qin Yang coldly, "My mother, Mrs. Jiang, came from Duke Wei's mansion, when did she get an extra aunt? , please make it clear, father."

"You." Qin Yang's heart, liver and lungs hurt, but Aunt Liu was so ashamed that she was about to get under the table. Of course, she didn't come from the Duke of Wei's mansion, she was Qin Yang's cousin, and she used dirty tricks to climb up Qin Yang's bed was disgraceful in the first place, and now being exposed mercilessly by a junior, naturally it would be embarrassing.

Qin Yu frowned, but did not speak.He naturally respects his big brother, but the person humiliated by his big brother is also his biological mother.He also heard about how his biological mother entered the Qin Mansion when she was young, but he didn't know where to stand when facing the family's affairs.

Qin Jin showed no mercy, and looked at Qin Yang coldly, as if he wanted his answer.

Qin Yang's heart trembled at the horror of his eyes, blinked his eyes twice, and said stiffly: "You are my son, why are you so rude? She is your elder. I am your father!" Looking at Jiang, "How do you educate your son" all of a sudden pointed the finger at Jiang. In a large family, the mother is responsible for the child's upbringing.

Jiang's face of seeing the excitement finally dropped, and he sneered: "Why, I didn't teach well? If there is no Jin'er, can you live in this kind of house? Oh, I forgot, Mr. Xie is still a fourth-rank Beijing official. Well, there is still a house with three entrances in Mianmian Hutong, why don't the master move there with his family? I remember that the General's Mansion was awarded to Jin'er by His Majesty, and Jin'er is the head of the general's mansion. .”

"You!" Qin Yang blushed with shame, but it was also true.No one in the capital would say that the Qin family was honored by Qin Jin, not to mention Qin Yang's fourth-rank officials, even Qin Yu's officials, did they get it because of Qin Jin's face.It's okay to be ridiculed by others outside, but still be ridiculed at home.Qin Yang immediately became angry, pointed at Jiang, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Qin Jin stood up suddenly, glanced back at the people in the room, and said coldly: "If you feel ashamed, you don't want to live here. Since you are in my favor, please be honest. From tomorrow, I will You don't want to see other unrelated people at the dinner table."

After speaking, Qin Jin turned around and left.

That aura, that posture, made Qin Du dumbfounded, his elder brother is so bullish.

A welcome banquet can't stop it.

The sky was getting dark, and Zhijin had been wandering around the streets of the capital for a long time, but it was getting dark, but she had nowhere to go.Reaching out to take out a few pieces of silver that Qiao Feng gave her, she smiled helplessly.

The most important thing in the capital is rich people, and of course there will be no shortage of people without money.A few pieces of silver are a drop in the bucket in a rich family, and even the servants of a rich family don't care too much.But for beggars who don't have enough food and clothing, a piece of silver can keep them eating and drinking for a long time.

A few beggars hid in the dark, glanced at each other, and they all saw a way to make money.After several discussions, several people rushed out when Zhijin took the money and was about to enter the inn.

Before Zhijin stepped into the door of the inn, she was bumped into by someone.A thin beggar saw that he bumped into someone, instead of apologizing, he turned his head and walked away in a panic.Zhijin frowned, and turned her head back, only to find that the broken silver in her hand was gone.

Now Zhijin was in trouble, she was only a few pieces of silver, but now she was also snatched by beggars.Now all her belongings are left with is a small burden on her body.There was no money in it, only a few gray robes, and small clothes that represented her identity. Now she was penniless, and she really had nowhere to go.

As night fell, there were no people on the street, and there was still half an hour before the curfew, and she had to find a place to live within this time.

There will not be a nunnery in the city, so maybe there will be a Chenghuang Temple?According to the customs of Daqi, the Temple of the City God should be in the east.Zhijin was secretly glad that she still had this knowledge, and walked east along the main street.

In the City God's Temple to the east of the capital, several beggars gather together to divide up the broken silver they just got, and discuss today's good luck by the way.

"This sister-in-law is quite rich."

"Hmph, you didn't see the face, the little nun is not bad, but it's a pity she's an aunt."

Another wretched smile: "Perhaps this piece of silver is a reward from a man from a rich family for seeing the little nun's appearance."

Once someone from the already boring beggar speaks nonsense, it seems like the floodgates of the reservoir are opened, and other people also start talking about women.

Someone sighed: "I have grown up to be 20 years old, and I have never met a woman. It would be great if there is a woman to make me happy."

"Oh, let alone a woman, even a nun is fine."

"The little nun is really beautiful. Although it's dark and I can't see clearly, if her small figure can be pressed under her body, it must be a special experience."

"Yeah, let's look for the little nun tomorrow, and find a chance to drag it here."

As soon as this plan came out, several beggars agreed one after another, and then argued endlessly over who would go first after snatching it.

A messy beggar in the corner watched the discussion of several people, and subconsciously snorted coldly.The black night and the messy body couldn't hide the sparkle in the young man's eyes, like the stars from the sky falling into the world, dimming the whole world.

A seven or eight-year-old boy was leaning next to the boy. Hearing the discussion of several people, he looked at the boy uneasily.The boy sighed, patted the child's head, shook his head and remained silent.

Suddenly the boy's eyes froze and his brows furrowed, as if he had seen something.

A few beggars who were arguing suddenly stopped, beat their companions, and signaled them to watch.Several people turned their heads to look at the broken door of the Town God's Temple, and saw a person standing by the door.nun.

It's Zhijin.

Zhijin also expected that there would be other beggars in Chenghuang Temple, but she didn't expect there to be so few.Fortunately, there is finally a place to sleep.Zhijin saw that they were all staring at her, so she lowered her head, raised her eyebrows and folded her hands together, "Amitabha, poor nun Qingshui, dare to ask some benefactors, can this poor nun bother you again for one night?"

Quiet, still quiet.The beggars looked at Zhijin in a daze.It was already dark, and an oil lamp mixed with impurities was lit inside the house, crackling and crackling, and the flame flickered, making Zhijin's pretty face even more fair and transparent.

Some people swallowed saliva unconsciously, and some people felt changes in their bodies.The few beggars who have been dry for many years are like the land that has been dry for many years. When they first saw the little nun who came to their door, it suddenly seemed like a heavy rain fell, moistening the land all at once.

I don't know who reacted first, one of the beggars stammered: "No, no, it's okay, come in, come in."

Zhijin couldn't see the faces of the people inside clearly, and didn't know that it was these people who robbed her money.Although she didn't sound like a good person when she heard this man's words, it was almost the curfew time outside, and she had nowhere to go but here, so she could only make plans tomorrow.She stepped in, looked around, and decided to go to the yard.Although there are many people, but after all, men and women will not kiss each other, it is better to stay in the yard, stay overnight and make plans tomorrow.

The beggars saw the little nun looking around and then went to the yard, gathered together and talked in a low voice before spreading out and lying on the grass to sleep.

Zhijin chose a corner in the yard to lean against the wall, and found some hay from other places, laid it on the ground and leaned against it.It's already September, and it's really cold at night. Fortunately, Zhijin was smart and didn't return the blanket that Qiao Feng gave her.

In a daze, Zhijin felt someone approaching her and touching her hand.

This feeling is very real.She opened her eyes suddenly, and in the next moment, she saw several people rushing towards her at the same time, swearing obscenely, which was very unpleasant.

Having experienced such a thing once, Zhijin suddenly came to her senses and rolled to the side suddenly when they pounced on her.
