I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 537
Maybe Master Qiu made an explanation before leaving the house, so even though Qiu Huaixin had a stinky face, he didn't let go of the burden halfway.

"Clean out my yard." Throwing the whip to the servant, Qiu Huaixin strode towards the other yard, "The servants in the yard are not allowed to go out, and Wang Xiaoshu will make a list of things to buy every day." Bring someone over here."

"Yes." The butlers responded one by one. He was originally the second butler of the Qiu Mansion. Mr. Qiu regarded Zhan Feiyu as a guest of honor, so he temporarily transferred the butler to another courtyard. The second steward brought them here from the mansion, not only obeying the rules, but also absolutely loyal to the Qiu mansion.

The yard with two sweet-scented osmanthus trees on the north side of the other courtyard is where Qiu Huaixin often lives.

The butler had the ice basin brought in, picked up two dexterous maids to tidy up the bedroom, and then came over with tea in person, "Third Young Master, haven't you been peaceful these few days?"

Qiu Huaixin didn't have a sitting position, leaned lazily on the small couch, took a teacup and drank a couple of sips of water before saying: "Be prepared, those people in the third room in the province will frame it."

In the past, Sanfang hated the direct branch and always wanted to replace him, but now it is Zhan Feiyu who hates him the most.

It seems to Qiu Huaixin that the Sanfang will kill themselves for their many injustices, but unfortunately they dare not hold grudges against the court, nor can they take revenge on the barbarians, so this hatred is naturally recorded on Zhan Feiyu's head.

"There are only three people around Ms. Zhan. The brothers and sisters of the He family also have a coachman, but there are still masters guarding them secretly. If Sanfang dares to retaliate, he may never return." The housekeeper lowered his voice and subconsciously looked again. Glancing out of the window, "Guard Deng guesses that those are dead soldiers from the scholar's mansion."

The body sitting softly on the small couch sat up straight, Qiu Huaixin gave a cold snort of disdain, "If Sanfang is not stupid, he should know that Zhan Feiyu is not a soft persimmon. Cai Zhiyuan will still be locked up in the government prison. The Qianzhong government just killed the Sipinqin of the commanding department, Sanfang and these idiots should still be living in a dream."

Cai Zhiyuan concealed the news that day, and wanted to kill Zhan Feiyu with the help of Qianzhongwei, but what happened?Whether it's the dead soldiers sent by the old man, or the personal guards brought by Cai Zhiyuan, they are all dead or disabled.

The third son was still moved with compassion, the housekeeper laughed, the sarcasm that the third son said was actually thinking about the blood relationship, and hoped that the rest of the third house would not fly moths into the flames to seek their own death.

"I'm afraid that they will be stupid and save a few lives so that I can burn some paper money for Qiu Shao and the others in the future." Qiu Huaixin curled his lips and asked himself to pay homage to the third bedroom?Impossible to kill.

Besides, the remaining people in Sanfang are either old, weak, women and children, or insignificant people. They escaped by not committing crimes. If they continue to die, even the gods of Da Luo will not be able to save them.

The housekeeper smiled without poking at him, and glanced at the window, only to see a servant hurried over, "Third Young Master, I'll go out and have a look."

I thought it was Zhan Feiyu who had something to do, but the housekeeper didn't expect it to be someone from the third room.

After listening to the boy's report, Qiu Huaixin, who was standing at the door, looked even more ugly, "What is she here for?"

When the Qiu family came to Qiu Huaixin's generation, they were all boys, only Qiu Jingyuan was a little girl. Although she was the daughter of the third room, the dispute between the Qiu family and the concubines had little to do with the little girl.

In addition, Qiu Jingyuan's long Yuxue is cute and her mouth is sweet. Both Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu dote on this little girl very much. Although Qiu Huaixin is full of hostility towards Zhan Feiyu, he also loved Qiu Jingyuan very much back then.

The people in the third room are also very knowledgeable, no matter how they fight openly or secretly, a little girl Qiu Jingyuan will not be involved, so Qiu Jingyuan can be said to be the most noble official daughter in Qianzhong Road.

Until Qiu Jingyuan was older, the seven or eight-year-old girl also went out with the family members. Qiu Huaixin and the others didn't know about the back house, but Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Bingde's wife saw something.

They have always cherished and loved Xiao Jiaojiao, but in private she turned out to be a tyrannical character who abuses and destroys people's appearance. As long as something goes wrong, no matter if it is a servant in the mansion, a commoner, or a lady from an official family, whatever Qiu Jingyuan sees For someone who is not pleasing to the eye, Qiu Feng, a cousin, will definitely do it for her.

Some girls were disfigured, and some were bullied by gangsters and lost their reputation. What disappointed Qiu Huaixin the most was Miss Geng's family. Because she was good at chess, Mrs. Qiu even smiled and said that Miss Geng would learn chess from Qiu Huaixin. It's kind of like getting married.

Qiu Huaixin was only a ten-year-old boy at the time, and he really found a chance to have a hand-to-hand game with Miss Geng. After he won, he was generous and asked someone to give a pair of Huanglongyu chess pieces in his collection to Miss Geng. .

Who would have thought that Qiu Jingyuan would find out about this matter, and she immediately fell in love with this chess set at first glance, but unfortunately Qiu Jingyuan's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not even considered beginners, so naturally Qiu Huaixin would not give her this precious chess piece to waste money.

A month later, Miss Geng's boudoir caught fire. Although she was rescued, her hands were burned and covered with ugly scars. Since then, Miss Geng has never played chess in front of outsiders.

Afterwards, Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Huaixin had a talk. Although all the evidence of Geng's house fire was destroyed by the fire, even the two maids and one woman who were on guard at night were killed in the sea of ​​fire, which became a case without evidence.

But Mrs. Qiu thought that it was Qiu Jingyuan who sent people to set the fire. Qiu Huaixin loved the little cousin Sanfang even more, but he believed in his mother even more. In addition, all the girls who had conflicts with Qiu Jingyuan had accidents. Qiu Huaixin has since After that, she stayed away from Qiu Jingyuan.

……

On the other side, Zhan Feiyu put down the book he had just picked up, and turned around to look out the window. The sun is hot in August, and the afternoon is the hottest time of the day. Come to visit at this time?

"If it's not that Miss doesn't want to see her, this servant will send her away." He Nuan didn't have a good impression of Qiu Jingyuan.

This is not just a spoiled young lady, but also a vicious little girl who behaves cruelly. The third room only restrained itself when she was defeated. Otherwise, I don't know how many people died at the hands of Qiu Jingyuan.

"Go and meet." Zhan Feiyu stood up. The last time I met Qiu Jingyuan was on the way back to Qianzhong Road. At that time, Qian Shipeng escorted him all the way. Otherwise, Zhan Feiyu would not have known that the Qian family's business had something to do with barbarians. The third room of the Qiu family was found indirectly.

Qiu Jingyuan came to this other courtyard of the Qiu Mansion several times, but it was the first time she came here after Sanfang's accident. She looked at the two ice basins in the corner, and then looked at the beautiful gold and jade decorations on the antique shelf.

Qiu Jingyuan withdrew her gaze, and a look of unwillingness flashed across her eyes, and she was even jealous of the decoration of another courtyard.

Although the house where the family lives is also a secondary courtyard, the entire courtyard is filled with more than 30 masters, large and small, and servants.

The second housekeeper asked the servant girl to bring the tea, "Miss Jingyuan, please drink tea, Miss Zhan will be there later."

"Thank you, butler." Qiu Jingyuan lost her arrogance and was polite to a servant of the official family. She picked up the teacup and took a symbolic sip of tea.

The rich tea aroma spread in the mouth, but the tea leaves that were drunk at home were the worst and thickest, and they were old teas. Only the fifty cents a catty of tea was only willing to brew a pot when the guests came to the door.

Since Zhan Feiyu wanted to see Qiu Jingyuan, she didn't plan to put on airs, so Qiu Jingyuan brought He Nuan over just after taking two sips of tea.

Hearing footsteps, Qiu Jingyuan quickly put down her cup and stood up, looking at the person who walked in from the door, Qiu Jingyuan was stunned.

The summer is hot, so Zhan Feiyu is wearing a double-breasted skirt today. The material is Yuehua brocade. The color is pretty but not noble.

It is the most common double bun for little girls, and the head decoration is a white jade flower hairpin. The whole piece of white jade is carved in the shape of a magnolia flower, which is extremely elegant in the jet-black hair.

The earring is also a small magnolia flower, and what is even more surprising is that the white jade is colored, and the stamens are actually blooming red.

Qiu Jingyuan looked down at herself, because she was about to go out, she found the best dress from the closet, but after washing it too many times, the fabric was no longer smooth, and the light green dye was a bit faded and looked whitish.

As for jewelry?At the beginning when the government seized the third house, all the family assets were confiscated. Although the mother's dowry was brought out, after being exploited by the government servants, there was not even a fifth of it left.

Most of this dowry was pawned, otherwise the more than 30 people in the family would have nothing to eat, so Qiu Jingyuan only used plum blossom silver hairpins when she went out today. In summer, she even wore plum blossom hairpins that are suitable for winter. It's ridiculous.

As for the silver bracelet with a hollowed out lotus flower on her hand, Qiu Jingyuan didn't dare to use force when wearing it, for fear of breaking the thin bracelet.
