I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 564 Conditions
Zhan Feiyu followed Qiu Jingyuan all the way into the house where she lived. It was different from the independent courtyard before Sanfang's downfall. Now Sanfang and a large family live in this house together with the servants who serve them.

Qiu Jingyuan now lives in the room on the left side of the main courtyard.

"The shabby house makes Miss Zhan laugh." Qiu Jingyuan cried for too long, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't hear clearly at the moment, but the self-deprecating expression on her face already explained everything.

The family Dou and Qiu Jingyuan lived in the main courtyard, and it was the Xu family who left the main courtyard because of Qiu Jingyuan calling Master Qiu uncle. After all, the Xu family and the three of them were adopted after all. Five suits have been issued a long time ago, and then the Dou family can occupy the main courtyard.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the courtyard in front of him, saying that it was shabby, but in fact, compared to the big houses of aristocratic families, if it is in the countryside, it would be nice to have a thatched cottage for shelter from wind and rain.

He Nuan followed behind Zhan Feiyu, his alert eyes quickly scanned around.

The yard is indeed not big, facing south, there are only three rooms. The main room is where Mrs. Dou lived. The left side is reserved for Qiu Jingyuan. It is a warehouse.

The side rooms on the right side of the main house are for servants, the two rooms on the left side are a small kitchen, and the other is stacked with sundries. After confirming that there is no danger, He Nuan withdrew his gaze and followed Zhan Feiyu into the house.

"Miss Zhan, wait a minute. I'll go and wash up." Qiu Jingyuan can take care of her appearance without the help of a maid after all. She was protected by her mother Dou Shi before, but now that Dou Shi died, Qiu Jingyuan grew up rapidly. The shadows are also deeper.

After Qiu Jingyuan entered the inner room, He Nuan looked at the little maid standing in the yard through the window, and then said in a low voice, "There is nothing unusual here."

After the death of Mrs. Dou, all forces in Qianzhong Road have also been staring at Sanfang. Not only is there no abnormality in the main courtyard, but also the outside. Except for the people who were watching, no dead man of the old man was found.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, and accidents happened one after another. Presumably, the old man would not act rashly again, and the deterrent and action capabilities of the Forbidden Dragon Guard should not be underestimated.

Within a quarter of an hour, Qiu Jingyuan came out of the inner room, sat down on a chair, looked at Zhan Feiyu for a while and then said: "My mother has gone, I heard from the lobby sister-in-law that the yamen will soon take my mother away." Return the dowry and private property to me."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Jingyuan stared at Zhan Feiyu with burning eyes, trying to see something from her face.

"I know what you want is in the warehouse of the yamen!" Qiu Jingyuan suppressed her anger and clarified her purpose. Even if she resented her anger and resented her, Qiu Jingyuan was no longer that arrogant and domineering young lady of the Qiu family, she had learned to bow her head , "Miss Zhan, as long as you agree to my conditions, you can take whatever you want."

Dou didn't know why she was killed until she died, but Qiu Jingyuan got some clues from her aunt Qiu Wenlan, and combined with Dou's cause of death, she already guessed that this token was in the things sealed by the yamen, but what exactly was it? Qiu Jingyuan didn't know either.

If it was before, Qiu Jingyuan might still want to get the token, but Dou's sudden death made Qiu Jingyuan frightened. After all, she was only a 13-year-old girl, and the successive changes in her family made her fearful.

"Let's talk about it." Zhan Feiyu took the words. It would be better if he could get this token without spending a single soldier. It would depend on what conditions Qiu Jingyuan offered.

"I want 1 taels of silver, and you store it in the bank under my name!" Qiu Jingyuan wanted to open up the lion's mouth, but she also knew that the dowry of a daughter of a family is only 5000 taels, and she would definitely be able to spend 1 taels for her entire life. There is no need to worry about eating and drinking. For ordinary people, ten taels of silver are enough for a family of seven or eight to eat and drink for a year.

Nodding, Zhan Feiyu signaled Qiu Jingyuan to continue, she absolutely could not only want silver, and Dou's dowry plus these years of private property converted into silver would not be much less than [-].

It stands to reason that the men of the Sanfang colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and some of the properties seized by the Sanfang were ill-gotten gains that needed to be returned to the Yamen, but the tragic death of the Dou family also involved Qiu Huaixin, so the prefect Jiao will definitely be lenient , Most of the belongings will be returned to Qiu Jingyuan.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Jingyuan lowered her head to hide the uneasiness in her eyes, but when she thought of the miserable life during this period, those daughters who flattered and fawned on her in the past, now after she came to the door, she had to bow down and be a little girl, Qiu Jingyuan couldn't stand it anymore Such a humble day like an ant.

Raising her head again, Qiu Jingyuan said word by word: "I want to be sworn brothers with you. In the future, I will be the eldest sister, and you will be my righteous sister!"

This is also the retreat that Qiu Jingyuan came up with after careful consideration, so what if there is money?Without a backing, this silver will only become a reminder!

Thinking that Xu's aunt would sell herself to Xiang Changshou, a sick young man, for 5000 taels of silver, Qiu Jingyuan's expression twisted instantly, and her deep-seated hatred was rolling on the ground. She wanted to stand out and let these people who ruined her People regret it!
"You want to marry me?" Zhan Feiyu was a little dumbfounded, her black and round eyes were a little rounded because of surprise, coupled with her white, tender and round cheeks, compared with Qiu Jingyuan who was wearing a filial piety dress and had gloomy eyes, this was clearly a Two extremes, no one would believe that they were sisters.

"Yes." Qiu Jingyuan nodded affirmatively. She may even not want the 1 taels of silver. When the Yamen returns those belongings, she will have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life, but she will not be happy when she becomes a sister with Zhan Feiyu. Dare to belittle yourself?
Qiu Jingyuan's first thought was to ask Xueshi Gu to accept her as a disciple, plus Uncle Tang, the political envoy of Qianzhong Road, went to the capital by herself and even married the emperor's relatives.

But after thinking about Qiu Jingyuan, she dismissed this idea. Gu Xueshi is not only a cabinet scholar, but also a descendant of the Gu family in Nanling. Now the head of the Gu family is Gu Xueshi's elder brother. The status of Gu Xueshi's disciples is too high. Qiu Jingyuan didn't even dare to think about it.

It's different to marry Zhan Feiyu. She is just a country girl, and she is a daughter of a wealthy family. Zhan Feiyu has a teacher named Gu Xueshi, and she is also called Mr. Qiu as a cousin, so they have similar identities. After getting married, Zhan Feiyu also has an ally, so why not do it.

"I can't agree." Zhan Feiyu's straightforward refusal made Qiu Jingyuan, who was thinking about something, suddenly collapsed, and the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed at this moment.

Standing up after a while, Qiu Jingyuan's clenched fists trembled slightly under too much anger, and she stared at Zhan Feiyu with vicious eyes, "Do you really want to refuse? You are not the only one who wants this token, I just want to You are the first choice to cooperate because of your friendship with our Qiu family."

This token involves the previous court, the barbarians, and the officials of Qianzhong Dao and the central court. Although no one is sure how useful this token is, as long as it works well, this token must be extraordinary, otherwise Dou Nor will it die.

Zhan Feiyu refused again, and did not get too entangled with Qiu Jingyuan. He took He Nuan and left next step. As for the sound of the glass being thrown behind him, Zhan Feiyu pretended not to hear it.

"Qiu Jingyuan wants a backer." He Nuan said, she thought she was just a bullying and vicious daughter, but she didn't expect Qiu Jingyuan to have such a scheming.

"No one from a big family is stupid." Zhan Feiyu recalled the children of the aristocratic family he had been in contact with in the past two years. His grandparents and parents were prominent. teach.

If you are stubborn and disobedient to discipline, you will definitely be served by the family law, so that you will not be able to take detours and go the wrong way.
So compared to the common people's children who don't even know the words, the children of the aristocratic families are really not stupid. The acquired environment makes them grow up quickly.

Qiu Jingyuan used to be domineering and arrogant, it was because she had the capital to be arrogant, and she didn't need to do those dirty things by herself, just a look in her eyes, and someone would do it just to curry favor with her.

But now that the situation is stronger than others, Qiu Jingyuan can only make plans for herself, but Zhan Feiyu will not agree to her good thinking.
