I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 536
Master Qiu ignored the aggressive youngest son, and said to Zhan Feiyu in a deep voice, "It was Qiu Wenlan who changed the swaddle. It's a pity that she committed suicide by taking poison. As for Qiu Tai and his wife, they didn't even know about it."

Sanfang has always refused to accept that the direct branch occupies the position of head of the family. For decades, it has been covetous and ready to move. There is a tendency to replace it.

Although Mr. Qiu's cousin is the chief envoy of Qianzhong Road, when it comes to the next generation, the direct line is slightly inferior.

Qiu Bingde is already a fifth-rank official, but no matter whether he studied in the past or became an official later, Qiu Bingde's ability can only be regarded as average. The second son, Qiu Wangshu, doesn't like reading.

The most incompetent is the third son Qiu Huaixin in front of him. Although he is intelligent, he has a slightly perverse temper. What's more, he also doesn't like reading. When he was young, he was spoiled by Lord Qiu and Mrs. Qiu. Nature is hard to change.

Fortunately, the family style and rules of the Qiu family are here, and Qiu Huaixin did not dare to act out of line, so as not to cause any catastrophe to the Qiu family.

"Although Qiu Wenlan returned to the clan back then, she was still in charge of the family in the back house in the third room. Qiu Feng also changed his surname. Qiu Wenlan must have a conspiracy to change his nephew." Zhan Feiyu's source Yu Jinlongwei, she knows the inside story no less than Mr. Qiu.

Now that Mr. Qiu mentioned this matter, he did not treat Zhan Feiyu as an outsider, but it was also a kind of temptation, "Although the old man doesn't like three bedrooms, Qiu Zongshao only has one son and one daughter, and the remaining three sons were adopted. Treat Qiu Wenlan as a son."

If it was said that Qiu Wenlan hated her natal family, then it was reasonable for her to take revenge and replace her own nephew, and her father's own grandson.

But Qiu Wenlan insisted on the same thing in the Qiu family, whether it was before she got married or after she returned to the clan, so she took the initiative to replace her nephew with a barbarian, which is open to discussion. What is the reason for this.

"It's a pity that he died." Zhan Feiyu said regretfully. As for whether he committed suicide by taking poison or was silenced, it was impossible to verify.

Hearing the old story of Sanfang, Qiu Bingde and Qiu Huaixin were a little bit embarrassed. Who would have thought that Sanfang, who was arrogant and proud at the beginning, would be defeated by a little girl named Zhan Feiyu?
With the addition of Qiu Jinyu, a child prodigy, Sanfang acted as arrogantly and overbearingly as he did back then, and was more like the direct branch than the direct branch.

Qiu Bingde has a calm personality and is generous to others. In addition, he is much older than Qiu Jinyu, and Qiu Jinyu had already been released as an official when Qiu Jinyu took the imperial examination, so no matter how arrogant the third-party people are, they will not be as arrogant as Qiu Bingde.

As for Qiu Wangshu, he associates with literati and refined scholars. Although his friends are a bit uninhibited, they are not hypocrites who step on the high and flatter the low. In addition, Qiu Wangshu and a group of friends travel to the mountains every now and then, and look for ancient times next month. , so the impact is not great.

Only Qiu Huaixin was not good at studying, and was often compared with Qiu Jinyu, his cousin, but he was perverse and had a bad temper, so troubles would arise every now and then.

What Qiu Huaixin hates the most is Sanfang, a group of hypocrites, but they are thoughtful and impeccable. They either insinuate or use soft knives to stab people, but they don't leave any excuses. Qiu Huai is so confident that he can burn Sanfang with a torch up.

Qiu Huaixin's temperament did not cause any trouble, and it is indeed the credit of Sanfang. Qiu Huaixin has been deceived more times, and gradually he has learned to be smarter, and is no longer reckless and irritable.

This is also the reason why Mr. Qiu has never made a move against Sanfang. With Sanfang's eyeing opponent, Qiu Bingde and the others dare not relax in the slightest.

"Did your lord find any clues?" Zhan Feiyu asked bluntly.

The power of the old man can be hidden so deep, and it has been as long as 30 to [-] years. It is either related to the court, or has something to do with barbarians and foreigners. Can escape the eyes and ears of the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Lord Qiu stroked his beard and sighed, "Thanks to His Majesty's trust, the matter of the third house is handled by this old man..."

Not only the few major cases in Qianzhong Road, but also some matters in the neighboring state capitals. In the end, it was found that the clues in Sanfang were broken. Qiu Tai really didn't know that his only son Qiu Jinyu was a barbarian, let alone replaced his son. It was Qiu Wenlan, his most trusted eldest sister.

But these years Qiu Tai did have contacts with the barbarians, but on the surface, he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, doing a small and convenient thing, even if someone finds out, it won't hurt.

It's a pity that Qiu Tai didn't know that when these small things were connected together, they would cause turbulent waves. The few big merchants Qiu Tai protected were only using Qiu Tai's name to avoid being exploited by other officials. A large sum of silver is used as the fee for asylum.

However, after careful investigation, Mr. Qiu discovered that some of these merchants had business dealings with barbarians and foreigners, and some had connections with certain officials in the court. This network is too large, involving too many people and things. Master Qiu couldn't find out the truth.

After listening to Mr. Qiu's words, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help feeling: "So Qiu Tai is a scapegoat."

The court did an investigation, but the clues were all in the third room of the Qiu family. All the crimes that could be found were committed by members of the third room. He didn't even know he was being used as a scapegoat.

Zhan Feiyu glanced again at Mr. Qiu who was drinking tea from a teacup, and she said that Mr. Qiu was not kind. Maybe Mr. Qiu didn't know that the matter of the third room would affect so deeply and so widely, but Mr. Qiu definitely knew It's over.

It's just that Mr. Qiu not only didn't strictly investigate, but also acquiesced and indulged him all the time. He probably waited for the day to take down the third house in one fell swoop. It's a pity that it's not as good as the sky. It was originally an internal struggle between the third house of the Qiu family and the first branch, and it was a family matter. In the end, it became a major case of colluding with the barbarians, collaborating with the enemy and treason.

A true gentleman is one who sees through but does not tell through!Zhan Feiyu squinted her eyes and smiled, and drank the sour plum soup. She can guarantee that Mr. Qiu's intestines will turn green with regret.

If he knew that Sanfang was so stupid, Master Qiu would have taken Sanfang down long ago. Fortunately, His Majesty trusted him, otherwise the Qiu family would have been dragged into the water by Sanfang this time.

Seeing the "gloating" expression of the little girl in front of him, Mr. Qiu was not angry, but he brought out his tricking style to the fullest, "Xiaoyu, you are new here, and coupled with the fact that Qianzhong Prefecture is not peaceful, it is inevitable that those remnants will come to you." Taking the opportunity to retaliate, let Huaixin follow you these few days, it can be regarded as doing the landlord's kindness for the old man."

What?Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Huaixin were shocked in exactly the same way. They looked at each other with no concealment of disgust on their faces.

Zhan Feiyu hurriedly put down the cup, straightened his body and said, "My lord, I plan to study hard in the other courtyard for the next few days. I won't go out, so I won't bother the third son."

As for Qiu Huaixin's dog temper, Zhan Feiyu came to visit today, and he was a guest, so naturally he couldn't compete with the host, so Master Zhan Feiyu ignored it a lot.

But if Qiu Huaixin is by her side, Zhan Feiyu is really worried that she won't be able to hold back, her violent temper, if she beats her...

"Father, the second brother probably has received the letter, and I think he will return home in a few days, why not let the second brother entertain Miss Zhan!" Qiu Huaixin almost squeezed out the words through his teeth.

Zhan Feiyu puts on the airs of a scholar, in reality?Associating with a dude like Jiao Lianping, and helping him run on Guizhang, and taking 5 taels of silver from Jiao's mansion by the way, she really is a country girl with shallow eyelids and open eyes for money!Jiao Lianyu took the word: Guizhang.

Zhan Feiyu nodded in agreement, she would rather learn chess with the second son as a bad chess player.

"Wait for Wang Shu to come back before asking him to entertain Xiaoyu. Huaixin, you should restrain your temper these few days, and don't forget that you are already a weak crown." Master Qiu looked over with half-smile eyes without waiting for Qiu Huaixin to refute, and succeeded. It made Qiu Huaixin dare not be presumptuous any more.

After Zhan Feiyu went to the backyard to visit Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu, plus the noon banquet, it was already two hours after she left, but there was a loveless Qiu Huaixin accompanying her.

He Nuan looked at Qiu Huaixin who was walking ahead on horseback through the curtain, "Miss, Mr. Qiu is not worried that the third son will give up his burden?"

After all, in front of Mr. Qiu in the Qiu Mansion, the third son of Qiu dared to call on Miss and ask him to do his best as a landlord?He Nuan felt that Qiu Huaixin would probably slip away when he arrived in another courtyard.

"Prevent the person who assassinated me from blaming the Qiu family, and at the same time temper the temperament of the third son of Qiu." Zhan Feiyu didn't forget that the third son of the Qiu family was found to be the fuse, and Mr. Qiu was somewhat dragged down by this incident.

Now that Mr. Qiu shows his friendship, at least no one would dare to assassinate him in the name of the Qiu family. As for the friendship between Qiu Huaixin and Jiao Lianyu, Mr. Qiu probably used his own hands to wake up others.
