Gu Zezhi put the handkerchief back into her hand again, and ordered as a matter of course: "Wipe your hands too."

Following his gaze, Qin Di realized that the fingers of her right hand were also stained with dust from the sack.

She obediently wiped her hands, this time, very carefully, for fear that the golden thighs, who are obsessed with cleanliness, would come to serve again.

After wiping, she tucked the handkerchief into her sleeve pocket and said with a smile, "I'll give you a piece next time."

"..." Gu Zezhi's brows moved, and an unidentified light flashed in his eyes.

He nodded and smiled lightly, "Okay."

The two walked all the way to the door of Qingming Tea House. Qin Disheng was afraid that he would mention tea again, so he quickly waved goodbye to him, "I have an appointment with my elder brother and younger brother."

Gu Zezhi smiled and said, "See you in a few days."

Qin Di thought he was asking himself for a handkerchief, and answered readily.

So, Gu Zezhi left.

He directly entered the palace and went to the imperial study room to ask to see the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor had just learned about Yelu Luan's beating, and when he saw Gu Zezhi coming, he gave him a seat, and casually mentioned this matter: "The envoy of Beiyan Fangcai came to me to complain, saying that he wanted to Strictly investigate the prisoners, and I must give them an explanation."

These Beiyan people are really troublesome!

Gu Zezhi sat down by the window with his robe up, with a bit of calmness in his elegance, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I beat him."

The emperor was startled, and his face inevitably showed surprise.

Gu Zezhi: "Just now Yelu Luan was on Huachang Street and told Miss Qin San in public that he was happy with her."

emperor:"?"

The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi's expression even more strange, and thought to himself: Could it be that he is jealous?

It's not good to beat someone when you're jealous, right?

He can come and beg him, and he can give him and Qin Di a marriage... But if he really wants to marry, what will his generation be in the future?

The emperor, who had been thinking about it, actually knew Yelu Luan's intentions.

It can be said that Yelu Luan did nothing to hide!

The emperor thoughtfully turned the jade wrench on his thumb and said, "Last time I had already rejected Yelu Luan's request for Xiaoji to marry him, so he planned to start with Xiaoji.

It seems that the compound bow is quite attractive to Beiyan. "

The winter sun cast mottled light and shadow on Gu Zezhi's face through the branches and leaves outside the window. When the wind blew, the mottled light and shadow swayed endlessly, which made him feel a little more inscrutable.

"Beiyan has always been ambitious for Daqi, the only difference is that he can beat him and he can't."

Gu Zezhi said slowly, his voice as warm as usual.

The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi, stopped his hand turning the jade wrench, and said, "I'll leave those envoys of Beiyan to you."

"It's been a while since you came to the capital, so it's time to take on an errand."

"Just don't let them bother me with anything."

After a pause, the emperor jokingly added: "Well done on the errand, I will give you a marriage."

Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

The emperor lifted the tea cup in a good mood and asked, "Who do you want?"

Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, but said nothing.

The emperor took a sip of hot tea, moistened his throat, put down the tea cup, and asked, "Has Xiaoji been scared?"

Gu Zezhi said with certainty, "No."

Not only not, but the girl was in good spirits when she beat people! After the fight, he was even more refreshed, and he even took his handkerchief away.

The emperor continued to ask with great interest: "Then have you sent the girl home?

In the capital, fish and dragons are mixed, and if a girl's house is bumped by someone who doesn't have long eyes again, it will be bad. "

The emperor was very entangled. He was worried about what to do in the future if the marriage happened, and what to do with his seniority and title. He also felt that the two were a perfect match, and it seemed that he should not mess around.

The emperor intends to gossip to find out some news first, and then go back and tell the queen.

Gu Zezhi was absent-minded, thinking about the veil, wondering if this little girl knew what it meant to take his veil?

Of course Qin Di didn't know that after she put the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket, she forgot it.

She drank a cup of tea in Qingming Teahouse and finished a plate of melon seeds before waiting for the brothers Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu, but Qin Zeyu hung his head like a sluggish puppy, looking listless.

Qin Di raised his eyebrows.

The moment Qin Zeyu looked at Qin Di, his shoulders collapsed, and he could feel the grievance from his bones from afar.

Qin Di held back his smile, deliberately ignored him, and only shouted to Qin Zening, "Big Brother."

Qin Zeyu pouted when he saw this, and his handsome face was full of unhappiness.

When facing Qin Di, Qin Zening's voice was extremely gentle: "Sister, are you tired of playing?

Where else would you like to go? "

Qin Di shook his head, "Brother, let's go back."

Saying that, she pointed to Qin Zeyu, meaning, what happened to him?

Qin Zening understood his sister's gestures, and snorted coldly, "This kid has just been trained by Jianning Bo.

Jian Ningbo asked him to think clearly about whether to go back to the academy. "

Qin Zeyu: "Big brother! I don't want to go to Songfeng Academy!"

Qin Zening raised his eyebrows: "Ayu!"

"If he doesn't want to go, don't go."

Qin Di said in a low voice.

Qin Zeyu couldn't believe his ears, looked at her suspiciously, and was shocked that Qin Di would speak for him.

Could it be that Qin Di was trying to please him and wanted to reconcile with him... No, they have never "reconciled", so why did they say "reconciliation"!

Anyway, he wouldn't forgive her so easily!

Qin Zeyu snorted softly, but her feet had already moved a step towards Qin Di, her arrogant expression seemed to be saying: Since Qin Di has made a mistake first, he can also consider forgiving her!

As a result, he heard his sister's ruthless voice ringing in his ears: "Songfeng Academy is too far away, even if it is strict, it is not convenient to discipline this bear child."

Qin Zeyu: "?"

Qin Di continued: "This kid just needs to be beaten. Before he beats him, he should not be too far from home."

"Stay in the capital..." Qin Zening rubbed his chin and thought for a while, thinking about it again, and felt that what his sister said was very reasonable.

Since Qin Zeyu can slip through Songfeng Academy once, he can slip a second time and a third time.

Tomorrow, he should go to Jianning Bo's house again, and return to Jianning Bo's kindness.

Thinking of this, the matter was resolved, Qin Zening felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

On the other hand, Qin Zeyu's expression turned ugly again.

"Sister, I know that there is a powder shop not far ahead, and that kid Cui Si came to buy it for his wife last time.

Brother take you to buy. "

Qin Zening laughed.

"Um."

Qin Di responded and left with him with a smile.

Qin Zeyu watched helplessly as his brothers and sisters ignored him and left.

The little boy was a little stunned, and a thought came to his mind: Have he fallen out of favor?

Thinking of this, Qin Zeyu felt flustered. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and chased after him. He didn't realize that he had walked to the other side of Qin Di unknowingly.

Qin Zening made a big deal, and with a wave of his big hand, he rounded up all the latest models in the fragrance shop, and the three returned with a full reward.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Madam Cui from Mrs. Qin's side waiting at the ceremonial gate. Madam Cui hurriedly said, "Master, Madam Tai asked you to come over as soon as you come back."

Qin Zening smiled, "Did the second aunt go to the grandmother to complain?"

Madam Cui nodded worriedly, and said, "Madam went to complain to Madam Tai early in the morning, saying that it was because the fifth master ignored the third girl. Yesterday, the third girl beat him badly, and the lady was very angry."

Qin Zening nodded and said, "I'll go."

Saying that, he glared at Qin Zeyu, blaming this stinky boy.

Qin Zeyu was so aggrieved by the stares that he felt that he really didn't care about his brother or sister, and he was obviously beaten!

"Brother, let me go with you."

Qin Zeyu said in a muffled voice, "Lest grandmother really think I was beaten badly by Qin Di."

"It would be too embarrassing for others to think that I can't even beat a girl, my lord!"

Saying that, Qin Zeyu's chin was raised stubbornly, and his voice was raised by three points.

Just relying on Qin Di, this little girl, if she hadn't let her, how could she have hit herself!

"You've been able to endure, and you still dare to fight with the girl's family?"

Qin Di looked at him with a half-smile but raised his hand to touch the matching sword on Qin Zening's waist.

Qin Zeyu was startled, and quickly hid behind his eldest brother, "Third sister, I was wrong."

This refreshing attitude of admitting counsel is exactly the same as when Qin Di faced Gu Ze.

Mama Cui looked at Qin Zeyu and then at Qin Di, and was stunned for a while.

When the fifth master just came back, he looked at the third girl as if he was seeing an enemy. It's only been a few days, and the relationship between the sister and brother is so good?

Could it be that blood is thicker than water! Grandma Cui sighed in her heart.

Yes, this is not true!

"Stop making trouble, go back to your Yijia Garden."

Qin Zening looked at Qin Zeyu and shook his head with a smile.

Hearing the words from eldest brother, Qin Zeyu hurriedly ran away, for fear that Qin Di would hold him down and beat him again if he took a slow step.

Qin Di glanced at his fleeing back and suggested, "Brother, why don't you move in and live with him?"

Qin Zening nodded in agreement, he had to take care of this kid!

After that, Qin Zening followed Mother Cui to Ronghetang.

Mrs. Qin Tai in the Dongci room was already waiting anxiously. Seeing Qin Zening coming, she was a little surprised and asked, "Where's Sister Ji?"

Qin Zening bowed, then sat down on an armchair next to him, and replied, "Xiaoji and Ayu have both gone back."

"Grandmother, don't listen to Second Aunt's nonsense.

A Yu has become more and more outrageous recently. Grandson is the eldest brother, so he is always qualified to discipline him, right? "

"The eldest brother is like a father, and when my grandfather was still there, he never spoiled his grandson.

It should still be played. "

Qin Zening carried the old marquis out, and just blocked the words that Mrs. Qin had not yet said.

Qin Zening was too rambunctious when he was a child, and always made troubles. He was indeed beaten by the old marquis. Mrs. Qin couldn't say that it was wrong for the eldest brother to teach the younger brother, and his face was a little stiff.

Mrs. Qin Tai cleared her throat and could only reluctantly say: "Ning Ge'er, Yu Ge'er is still young..."

"Brother Yu is twelve years old, not too young. My grandson has already gone to the military camp at this age."

Qin Zening smiled, "Or does my grandmother think I will harm A Yu?"

Mrs. Qin Tai was blocked by her eldest grandson and was speechless.

This morning, when she heard Su said that when Qin Di was beating Qin Zeyu, she was anxious and angry.

Qin Zeyu was the youngest son of the eldest son, and he lost his parents when he was born. The elders inevitably got used to him a little bit more. Got it!

But now, Mrs. Qin felt that what Qin Zening said seemed to make sense: after all, he was his own younger brother. Even if Qin Di had no measure, Brother Ning would never watch his younger brother be beaten.

Qin Zening changed the subject, skipped the topic, and said, "Grandmother, grandson wants to discuss something with you."

"What's up?"

Mrs. Qin Tai was distracted.

"Since my sister is back, my mother's dowry should be handled by my sister."

Qin Zening said, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Qin Tai said subconsciously, "Sister Xin has managed well for the past two years."

Qin Xin's housekeeper was taught by Mrs. Qin herself. Over the years, she has managed Wei's dowry in an orderly manner.

Qin Zening pulled the corner of his mouth and said bluntly: "How can outsiders manage my mother's dowry?

Who knows if this outsider will move to do something shameful! "

"Brother Ning, don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Qin Tai was anxious, her brows furrowed deeply, "How could Sister Xin do such a thing!"

Qin Xin was raised under her knees since she was a child. Wouldn't she know what her character was like?

!

Qin Zening took out the gold-encrusted jade bracelet in his sleeve pocket, and said with a half-smile, "Grandmother, this is what my grandson 'bought' at the pawnshop today."

Qin Zening originally thought that Mrs. Qin Tai would be shocked when she saw this gold inlaid jade bracelet, but he saw a little on her face... Guilty?

"Brother Ning," Mrs. Qin Tai held the red sandalwood Buddha bead string in her hand, pursed her lips and said embarrassedly, "There are so many people in our house, we spend a lot of money, last year At that time, Huaibei was hit by a disaster. Many Zhuangzi in our house were in Huaibei. Last year, the income was greatly reduced, and the house was a bit unable to make ends meet.

Therefore, Sister Xin will take the initiative to offer a few things to subsidize it. "

Qin Zening: "..."

He thought that Qin Xin secretly took it with his grandmother behind his back, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer.

Mrs. Qin Tai was also a little guilty when she talked about this matter, but she was an elder, and she couldn't hold her face even if she was made to admit her fault for this matter.

She coughed lightly and said again, "Don't worry, when Sister Ji'er gets married in the future, I will make up for her and I won't let her suffer."

Qin Zening's eyes flickered, his face was calm, and he said lightly, "We'll talk about it later, now let Qin Xin hand over the account book and matching cards, and the key... Grandma, please give the key as well. Give it to Xiaoji together."

Over the years, the key to the warehouse where Wei's dowry was stored has always been in the hands of Mrs. Qin Tai. Qin Zening deliberately revealed that Wei's dowry was stolen first, just to use this as a handle to let Mrs. Qin take the warehouse. The keys were also handed over.

Misappropriating her daughter-in-law's dowry, Mrs. Qin Tai readily agreed with her guilty conscience.

She first ordered Mama Cui to call Qin Xin, Qin Di, and the Su Clan, and then reassured, "Brother Ning, this is my grandmother, isn't it..." As she spoke, she sighed faintly. tone.

Wei's dowry should be shared equally among her three biological children.

Originally, Qin Xin was a girl in the long house, and Qin Xin offered to use Wei's dowry to supplement the family's household.

But now, the master is Qin Di, and Qin Xin is occupying the magpie's nest.

This misappropriation of Wei's dowry has become a loss for Mrs. Qin.

Why!

Qin Xin has been taking care of Wei's dowry for so many years, and Mrs. Qin Tai forgot for a while that they are now in their respective positions.

Qin Zening didn't speak, took a sip of tea from the tea cup, and waited quietly.

So, Qin Di, who had just returned to Wanxiangyuan, was the first to arrive at Ronghetang, and then Qin Xin and Su Shi also arrived.

Mrs. Qin Tai immediately explained what Qin Zening meant.

Qin Xin squeezed the handkerchief, her eyes flickered, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Yes, grandmother, I'll have someone take those account books to the third sister in a while."

"Mother, is this inappropriate?"

Su shi frowned in surprise and persuaded, "What does Sister Ji know, does she know how to read?

Checking the account is not as simple as she used to go to the vegetable market to buy two catties of pork! If the eldest sister-in-law's dowry was lost, wouldn't it mean that Ning Ge'er and Yu Ge'er would also suffer. "

Qin Di laughed "Pu Chi" and said, "Second Aunt, don't worry, I won't suffer from anything I eat!"

Saying that, she grinned, took a piece of cake from the dessert plate next to her, and smiled meaningfully.

"..." Su shi clenched the handkerchief and felt that her broken tooth seemed to be hurting again.

This girl is just not likable!

"All right."

Mrs. Qin Tai squinted at Su Shi and said, "Your sister-in-law's things should have been handed back to their brothers and sisters. If you have the right card, you can take it."

Su Shi glanced at Qin Xin and saw Qin Xin lowered her head and didn't speak. She felt a little unsure, but now she could no longer object, so she could only reluctantly instruct the maid to get the pair of cards.

So, Qin Zening and Qin Di left with the key and the pair of cards.

After leaving the Ronghetang, Qin Zening said sternly: "Sister, you have to work hard and give the account to the inventory to see if there is anything missing. Let's go back together."

Qin Zening was very displeased that his mother's dowry was quietly misappropriated, but before the account was settled, he didn't know exactly how much was misappropriated. down.

Qin Di nodded in agreement, wanting to cry without tears in his heart.

Hey, she has already left the palace, why can't she escape this little goblin from the account book!

Thinking of fighting with the little goblin for a few days, Qin Di left in despair.

At this time, in the Ronghe Hall, Mrs. Qin Tai lovingly comforted Qin Xin and said, "Sister Xin, don't worry, your elder brother is not unreasonable.

I have already told him that it is to subsidize the flowers in the house.

He will not pursue it any more. "

"Hey, it's also because I didn't think carefully. I should have reminded you earlier and took the initiative to return the account book to Sister Ji."

"Don't blame grandma."

Qin Xin pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said intimately, "I'm sorry I didn't remember it for a while.

Grandmother, granddaughter went back to sort out the account books first. "

Mrs. Qin Tai nodded distressedly and asked Qin Xin and Su Shi to retreat together.

Qin Xin and Su Clan walked out of Ronghetang in silence, and Su Clan suddenly asked, "Is your account all right?"

Qin Xin was a little absent-minded, and only smiled when she heard the words, "Don't worry, mother."

The two walked forward along a bluestone path, and Su shi stared at Qin Xin's profile for a moment, her eyes flashing slightly.

It is probably that Mrs. Tai thought that Qin Xin was weak. In fact, Qin Xin has more hearts than anyone else.

Mrs. Tai thought that it was because the mansion was running out of money that she misappropriated Wei's dowry, but both Su and Qin Xin knew that this was just an excuse.

Mrs Su stroked her sleeves and remembered what happened three years ago.

At that time, because she used the money of the public to put the money, and the people ran away, so she lost all her money and could not fill the hole in the public.

In order to make up for this gap, she first came up with the idea of ​​Wei's dowry.

Originally, she was thinking that when she had enough money, she would make up for it quietly, without knowing it.

Who would have thought that this matter was actually discovered by Qin Xin.

At that time, the Su family was extremely flustered, and begged Qin Xin not to speak out, Qin Xin agreed, and even suggested that she could help herself, but Qin Xin would take six of the four or six points.

Su Clan had no other choice but to agree.

After coming back, Mrs. Su took the initiative to propose to Mrs. Qin Tai that Qin Xin should learn to be a housekeeper and learn how to take care of Mrs. Wei's dowry.

Back then, Mrs. Su naively thought that Qin Xin wanted to save some money for her own private house, so that when she and Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu shared Wei's dowry in the future, she would have less of a girl's family.

Thinking about it now, Su Shi really wanted to slap himself.

Qin Xin knew about her life experience early on, so she prepared her way back early and secretly saved her belongings.

Su shi's eyes were dark, and his lips pursed into a straight line.

She even regretted recognizing Qin Xin in her own name.

Could this be breeding tigers?

!

However, she is now in a difficult position to ride a tiger! She and Qin Xin are already grasshoppers tied to a rope.

Su shi swallowed her saliva, felt her throat was unbearable, and said in a low voice, "Sister Xin, you still have to pay attention to this matter, don't let that wild girl grab the handle."

Qin Xin responded casually, only feeling that Su Shi was wordy.

When I got the money, I was very happy, but now that something went wrong, the Su family looked ahead and Rory was chatty.

Qin Xin clenched the handkerchief in her hand. If it was not a last resort, she didn't want to sell Wei's dowry.

In the past three years, she has never dared to touch the physical objects in the warehouse. At most, she has moved her hands and feet on the account books, and moved a part of the proceeds from the properties in the dowry. I saved less than two thousand taels of silver.

If it wasn't for Yunguang Lion's big opening this time, forcing her to collect 10,000 taels of silver in just five days, why would she take this step!

Because the key to the warehouse was in the hands of Mrs. Qin, Qin Xin could only cooperate with Su Shi and lied that she wanted to subsidize the middle school, and asked Mrs. Qin to take out some valuable things, and then let the scholarly Laozi take them to sell.
