Chapter 98
The wheels of the carriage rolled softly on the ground.
The autumn wind blows, the curtains are rolled up, and there is silence.
The curtain was pulled up, Zihe outside the car and Tridacna inside the car looked at each other, they couldn't forget Qin Xun's shocked face just now when she was exposed by the lady, and they couldn't forget just now when she heard that the lady had helped him , Qin Xun became more and more complicated.
and……
They don't know these things.
Zihe suddenly felt that he was a failure. It was obviously given to the young lady by the prince to protect the young lady and share her worries, but she seemed to have never helped the young lady to share any worries.
So, Miss doesn't trust her either.
Carefully put away the little doubts in his heart, Zihe looked outside, "Miss, Madam Shilang has probably arrived at Dong Lao's mansion at this moment, tell me, will Dong Lao heal Mr. Qin?"
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head, "I don't know."
Mr. Dong is a weird old man with gloomy thoughts and a cunning old fox.
If the prince is said to be the proud and tortured Mount Tai in the high mountains and snowy seas, then this Elder Dong must be an old goblin who has practiced for thousands of years.
Of course, there is really no comparison between the two.
Xie Lingqin stroked her forehead, hoping to let her calm down in a while.
I was cheated by the prince today, and I really don't want to cheat again.
She was a top killer in her previous life, but she was useless to survive in this different world, and she had no power.
"However, Miss, would Mr. Dong want to take you in as an apprentice, that's why he made such an exception for you?" On the side, Tridacna, who was usually quiet, suddenly asked curiously.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, "Silly boy, don't be so proud. If Mr. Dong really wants to accept me as an apprentice, it must be a bad thing."
"However, Miss, I heard that Mr. Dong has no descendants. He took several apprentices before and was dismissed. After that, the princes and princes also learned from them. It's just that, except for the prince who learned a little longer, everyone I have no seniors, but the relationship between the crown prince and Elder Dong is not very good."
Xie Lingqin mopped her cheeks, exchanged a glance with Zihe, and looked at Tridacna's small mouth with interest.
"Miss, if you become Elder Dong's apprentice, it will be of great help. In the future, the general will look up to you..."
"Also, miss, the most important thing is that Mr. Dong has no descendants. If he dies in the future, all his things will be yours. I heard that he has many houses, miss..."
The clam's voice stopped abruptly, a pair of bright eyes flashed, blinked, and looked at Xie Lingqin with sympathy, "Miss, did the servant say something wrong? Don't look at the servant with such eyes, the servant is afraid .”
"No." Xie Lingqin dragged her cheeks, and her star pupils seemed to be inlaid with thin fragments of light, which were a bit scorchingly bright, "Suddenly realized, you little girl, you know, there are quite a lot."
"This..." Tridacna immediately lowered her head guiltily when she heard the words, "Isn't everyone in the capital, as old as 60 years old, and as young as three years old, know about this?"
"Really." Xie Lingqin looked sideways at Zihe, "Zihe, do you know?"
Zihe swallowed, and shook his head, "Is the relationship between the crown prince and Mr. Dong not good? The servants don't know about this matter."
Tridacna scratched her head, "Isn't that how it is spread?"
"Miss, here we are."
At this time, Zihe pulled the rein of the horse and stopped the cart.
At the entrance of the Dong Mansion, the carriage borrowed by Mrs. Cai Lang was parked. The driver was on the carriage, and a few guards stood by. When he saw Xie Lingqin coming down from the carriage, the driver saluted, but the guards were clearly stunned. They looked at each other in blank dismay, with different thoughts.
Could it be that Miss Xie is coming to return the carriage right now...
"Xie Lingqin, you are so active. You even came here. You want to see if my son is dead, or you want to go back to the carriage."
At this time, at the gate of Dong's Mansion, the servant's wife heard an angry voice.
On the side, several guards carried Qin Qi to reveal a corner, as if spinning... .
This……
Xie Lingqin automatically ignored Mrs. Minister's roar and clamor, but stretched her neck, very puzzled.
Even if she doesn't know a doctor, she knows that if the injury is as serious as Qin Qi's, she will definitely not be able to move a lot, but right now, being carried by the guards, she is obviously spinning in circles.
"Hmph, what are you looking at? Let me tell you, with Elder Dong here, my son will not die." Mrs. Shi Lang roared angrily again.
Xie Lingqin shook his head speechless, then walked forward.
"Stop her, don't let her in." The servant's wife immediately ordered.
"Miss Xie, please stay." A guard immediately stopped her.
Zihe wanted to stand in front, but Xie Lingqin stopped her, looked at the guard coldly, and said with red lips, "Get out."
"Thanks……"
"roll."
"my home……"
"roll."
Raising his hand and slapping him, the guard stared blankly at Xie Lingqin, and then at the maidservant next to Xie Lingqin who made the move, his complexion turned ashen, and he covered his face, "Miss Xie, my son is treating your wounds, please do not disturb."
"Dare to hit my guard, Xie Lingqin, you really dare, someone, give her to me and arrest her, new and old hatred, I don't believe that General Xie can still play favoritism."
The servant's wife is also in a hurry. The son here is half awake and still suffering from this. Right now, Xie Lingqin still wants to make trouble.
See if I don't torture you to death.
Xie Lingqin smiled lightly, and raised her eyes indifferently, "Dare to ask Mrs. Minister, is this your residence?"
"This……"
Mrs. Shi Lang choked when she heard the sound, but said in a firm tone, "Elder Dong likes to be quiet, so you'd better not make trouble here."
Xie Lingqin thought how could there be such a ridiculous person in the world, this minister's wife was the second aunt's younger sister after all, why didn't she even learn half of the second aunt's scheming from the Cheng family.
"Mrs. Minister, I just want to say it once. I'm here to see Mr. Dong. If you are rude to me again, I don't care what Mrs. Minister or Mrs. Ghost you are. I will call you."
When Xie Lingqin said this, of course he noticed that no one was around, and...
Anyway, Elder Dong knows her true face, so he doesn't care about pretending.
As soon as the words came out, the wife of the servant sneered, "Joke, you came to see Mr. Dong? Can Mr. Dong see you? I still believe that your father came to see Mr. Dong." Madam Shilang condensed her eyes and stood alone. At the gate of Dong's Mansion, it looks like it is in charge of the house.
Let people see it, maybe they think it is Dong Laoxin's wife who is in charge of the house.
Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed, and he thought it from his heart, so he didn't take it seriously, instead he glanced at Zihe and Tridacna behind him, and sighed, "Hey, look, I was originally invited by Mr. Dong to make a special trip. I came to Dong's mansion to chat with Mr. Dong to relieve my boredom. I never thought that Mrs. Shilang has been blocking me. I am a weak woman, and I don't want to cause trouble for Mr. Dong, so we will move. Let's go."
Zihe responded immediately, "Miss is right, hey." He sighed and expressed his helplessness.
Tridacna also stepped forward and said, "Miss, you have worked so hard to come here in vain. If Mr. Dong knew about it, he wouldn't blame you."
"Let's go." Xie Lingqin raised his hand and was about to go to the carriage.
On the side, the young servant of the Dong Mansion who had been hiding in the corner of the gate for a long time finally couldn't stand it any longer. He straightened his face, as if he had just come over, and stepped forward, "Miss Lingqin, please stop, Elder Dong is waiting for you to come."
Xie Lingqin turned around and glanced at the lady at the door, who was stunned for a moment, whose complexion was as beautiful as a rainbow, and then looked at the servant, quite helplessly, "But, the lady is not allowed to enter."
"This is Dong's Mansion..." The young servant didn't want to offend Mrs. Shi Lang, so he spoke in a serious voice.
Obviously, the servant's wife is also jealous of this young man.After all, Mr. Dong is a character, and she can't offend the servants around him.
She begged for a long time just now before letting Elder Dong come to the rescue.
"You, you, you... really came to see Mr. Dong." When Mrs. Shi Lang spoke again, her voice stuttered and she was still very embarrassed.Immediately, he became stern again, and it is not sure what will happen when he comes to see Mr. Dong.
However, Mrs. Shi Lang's face was still calm, she glared at Xie Lingqin angrily, and retreated.
"Thank you Madam Shi Lang for letting me go." Xie Lingqin strode past Madam Shi Lang and walked inside.
However, the distance was far away, and there was a gate through which I couldn't see clearly, so I took a closer look.
Xie Lingqin felt pain because of Qin Qi.
Such a seriously ill person, who was beaten by her in the first place so that he doubted his life, and then was drugged by Qin Xun to make him like this, and then his mother hurriedly sent him for treatment, but he was tossing like this.
Seeing those guards carrying Qin around and jumping, they were sweating.
Qin Qi's complexion was pale...
It's really enough to spin, jump, and I close my eyes...
How much hatred does Elder Dong have for Qin Qi.
"Miss, this Mr. Qin is really miserable."
Zihe couldn't help but whisper, with a look of shock.
Tridacna's eyes widened even more.
"Look at what, Mr. Dong said, this is a special treatment method, ordinary people don't understand it, Elder Sister Xie can't read or write on weekdays, and stays in the general's mansion all day long, so she doesn't know much, so naturally she doesn't know. "
The servant's wife was also afraid that Xie Lingqin would disturb her son's spinning and jumping, so she spoke in a sinister manner.
Xie Lingqin...
There are people who have to protect them even if they die, and there is no one left.
And the young man didn't look up from the beginning to the end, just walked forward and led the way.
Xie Lingqin looked at the boy's back with a calm expression.
This young man has been hiding in the corner behind the gate since her carriage arrived at the gate of Dong's Mansion just now. He obviously came out after watching enough drama.
Of course, this little guy is gutless at first glance, so, who else can make him do this, except for Mr. Dong who is still acting like a demon at such a young age.
Before he had gone far, he could smell a strong smell of medicine coming from ahead.
The servant led the three of Xie Lingqin past a herb garden, and then entered a yard.
Elder Dong was wearing a plain robe and was dumping medicinal herbs in the dustpan. He glanced at Xie Lingqin, "It came so slowly."
"I want to hurry up, but someone is singing in front of your house, Mr. Dong. If I don't cooperate, I can't show your high medical skills."
Elder Dong snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and beckoned, "Come here, help me pick up the medicine."
Xie Lingqin didn't move, and explained, "Mr. Dong, I'm here to chat with you to relieve boredom."
The implication is that she will not do the matter of picking up medicine.
Elder Dong rolled his eyes, and put the dustpan aside, "Little girl, it's still here."
"Mr. Dong, just now Mrs. Shi Lang said that she has been spinning and jumping for half a stick of incense according to your instructions. What should I do next?"
At this time, a child came to report.
Elder Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin, and then looked at the boy again, "Let Mrs. Shi Lang bring him here."
"Yes."
The little boy backed away, and Elder Dong stroked his beard, stroked his silver hair, and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Little girl, whether you want to embarrass yourself or embarrass others depends on your performance."
At this moment, Xie Lingqin seemed to read a kind of calculating light from Dong Lao's eyelids.
Pick up medicine.
"Tradacna, Zihe, you all wait at the side." Xie Lingqin finished his order and walked in.
Zihe and Tridacna retreated immediately.
However, after taking two steps, Tridacna turned back to look in Elder Dong's direction, his bright eyes were thoughtful and extremely puzzled.
It seems that something can't be figured out.
Xie Lingqin rolled up his sleeves lightly, and as soon as he took the dustpan, the servant's wife came over with the guards carrying Qin Qi.
"Elder Dong..."
The words were full of anticipation and enthusiasm. After seeing Xie Lingqin pouring out the herbs, his voice stopped, his face froze, he raised his hand, pointed at Xie Lingqin, and asked Mr. Dong, "Mr. Dong, she..."
"Oh, Miss Xie's family just happened to come to help me today, and she will help me when I give acupuncture later."
"she……"
Mrs. Minister's eyes are about to pop out.
Xie Lingqin helps, then her...
"Mr. Dong, you are not kidding. Miss Xie has a grudge with my son. Will she do something about it?" Mrs. Shi Lang's voice was trembling when she spoke.
"Ms. Minister, do you not believe me?" Elder Dong became angry, his voice sank suddenly, and he blew his beard and stared, "If you don't believe me, why bother to ask me to save your son, go, go now."
"Oh, no, no, no... Elder Dong, that's not what I mean, just fix it, fix it now."
Xie Lingqin looked at Mrs. Shi Lang like this, she really admired this old Dong.
This is obviously relying on my own good medical skills to handle the other party very well.
Another glance at Qin Qi.
It is estimated that there is only half a breath left hanging there.
It is estimated that the spinning and jumping just now has exhausted the prehistoric power.
"Mr. Dong, what an enmity you have with Qin Qi, you're so ruthless." Xie Lingqin glanced at her eyebrows and said in a low voice.
Sure enough, there is no abuse, only more abuse.
Unexpectedly, Elder Dong glanced at her and said calmly, "I'm not saving him."
Xie Lingqin...
Dong Lao, you are so old, you are really humorous, but she enjoyed watching it very much.
After a while, several guards carried Qin Qi into a hard bed in the room and made Qin Qi lie on his stomach.
As soon as Xie Lingqin approached, Qin Qi trembled violently, his eyes were full of panic.
"Son, it's okay, it's okay, Mr. Dong will give you an injection, and you'll be fine in a while." Mrs. Shi Lang stepped forward to comfort her.
"Madam, I want to give an injection, you should go out first."
Dong Lao said warmly.
Mrs. Shi Lang heard this, if it was normal, she would have retreated respectfully and respectfully, but at the moment, Xie Lingqin is still in the room, and she is still holding such a long needle.
"Dong... Elder Dong..."
Madam Shi Lang rubbed her sleeves, hesitated, "May I..."
"Madam Shi Lang, you don't want to save the dog anymore." Elder Dong's voice was deep and undeniable.
"Then, why did Miss Xie stay here?" Mrs. Shi Lang didn't dare to ask questions, she didn't dare to question, she tried her best to speak softly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin, "Oh, I want to leave her in the room to deliver needles. This girl is safe and pleasing, and I trust her."
"This..." Madam Shilang parted her lips, and glanced at her son who was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open but unable to move, and could only tighten his hands, "Son, let me go out first, mother. Don't worry, Elder Dong will definitely save you."
These words were obviously addressed to Elder Dong.
However, Dong Laoba remained motionless, as if he didn't hear it.
Qin Qi's eyes were frightened, and he seemed to want to hold the hand of the servant's wife, but he didn't have the strength.
So, the door closed.
Xie Lingqin looked at Elder Dong just now, and said in a very low voice, "Elder Dong, do you want to kill Qin Qi and blame me, or do you want to give me a chance to vent your anger."
The tone is cold and cool, not joking.
Elder Dong raised his wrinkled eyes and glanced at her, "As you please."
Whatever she wants?
At this time, only she, Elder Dong, and Qin Qi on the couch were left in the room.
"A needle." Dong Lao said.
"What size? What size?" Xie Lingqin stared at the rows of needles of different sizes, feeling a little bit pained.
"You can have whatever size you want, and whatever size you want." Mr. Dong walked aside, picked up the teacup, and casually ignored Xie Lingqin's expression of almost astonishment after hearing this.
Xie Lingqin was indeed astonished.
She thought that when she came to Dong's mansion today, this old man must be thinking of a way to get rid of her, but she never thought that he would give her such a big benefit.
Looking up at him, the look of a leisurely old god is really, so cute.
"Mr. Dong, you are highly respected." With a smile on Xie Lingqin's face, he walked to the side, took a needle as thick as chopsticks, and rubbed it on his fingertips carefully. .
"No no no..."
Qin Qi who was on the bed almost lost his breath of fright when he saw this, his already pale face became even paler, and his eyes also danced abruptly and forcefully.
Desperately, trying to retreat, want to get up, want to resist.
However, powerless.
At this moment, who still thinks that Xie Lingqin is as beautiful as a flower, with such a clear smile on his face, against the silver needle shining coldly in his hand, it almost makes him faint to death.
This is the devil.
Demons from hell.
A demon that spreads fear from the bottom of the heart to all limbs and bones.
Xie Lingqin stood by the bed with a needle in his hand, and said in an unusually gentle voice, "Young Master Qin, I have heavy hands, please be more generous."
"No no no..."
Qin Qi was seriously injured, slurred in speech, and desperately refused.
"Mr. Dong, where can I get the needle?" Xie Lingqin asked Mr. Dong again at this time.
"Where do you want to go?"
Xie Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Mr. Dong, you are not only highly respected, but also amazing.
Dong Lao didn't even close his eyelids, and continued to drink tea, but in the mist of tea, a very faint smile flashed across the corners of his lips covered with fine lines.
So ever.
Xie Lingqin really hit the needle.
First stitch, poke your finger.
"what!"
Qin Qi screamed and trembled in pain.
Ten fingers to heart, it should be.
"Mr. Qin, don't call, this is just the first step to save you. You see, after so many years, I'm still alive, right? The icy lake didn't freeze me to death."
Another stitch.
"what!"
Another cry of pain seemed to knock the roof off.
so tragic.
"What's your name? This pain is nothing. Your parents listened to your words. They colluded with Xie Lingyu that day and asked the people from the Palace of the Underworld to plot against me. If I hadn't been blessed by God, I wouldn't be allowed to hang up at this moment. Let's go, you say, right..."
Xie Lingqin smiled coolly, raised his hand, and gave another injection.
"what!"
Qin Qi couldn't stand it anymore, but, he couldn't get dizzy, so he could only infinitely enlarge Xie Lingqin's beautiful and smiling face in his pupils.
That is Ronggu Youlan, that is Hell Mandala.
"I, I, I... I was wrong, I was wrong... It's over..."
"Yeah, I know I'm wrong." Xie Lingqin waved his hand, and looked at Dong Lao who was still drinking tea, "Dong Lao, it's time to change the needle."
"Well, as long as you like it."
Xie Lingqin liked hearing this, so she immediately went to get a thinner silver needle.
However, it's still rough.
Qin Qi...
There is nothing to love in life, his heart is ashamed, and his face is full of despair.
"Mother...Mother..."
Mrs. Shi Lang was standing in the yard at this time, hearing the miserable howls in the house, her internal organs were in pain, but just as she was about to move in and rush in, she thought of Elder Dong's medical skills.
She didn't believe in Xie Lingqin, but she believed in Elder Dong.
And inside the room, Xie Lingqin had a full view of Mrs. Shi Lang's painful complexion through the gap in the window. There was no sympathy at the corners of her lips, only coolness.
Their own son's life is his life, but in their eyes, other people's lives can be trampled on like ants.
This Qin Qi is full of evil and lewdness, and she really deserves to die. In the past few years, she has been ridiculed and bullied, and the scene is passing by before her eyes.
That fall into the lake, the original owner endured much pain to survive.
Xie Lingqin inserted another needle, this time she didn't take it out quickly, but pointed at that acupuncture point and shook it left and right vigorously.
Qin Qi was sweating profusely from the pain, but he couldn't move.
"Qin Qi, remember, this is the price you paid. I won't let you die today, just to avoid trouble and give you a chance. Remember, if I want you to die, there are more than 1000 ways, and there is absolutely no One is what you can think of, hear?"
Xie Lingqin's voice, like a mournful bell, struck Qin Qi's ear.
He opened his frightened eyes and nodded almost mechanically.
Very good, Xie Lingqin had a cool smile on his lips.
If a person doesn't want to trouble you any more, and doesn't want to take revenge, then just thinking of you will make him feel chills to the bone, covered in bruises, and even his breath can spray out images of his own suffering.
Forever, nightmare.
"Okay, Mr. Dong, I've finished the needle here, it's your turn."
Xie Lingqin got up slowly, and was about to put down the needle, but Mr. Dong came over and raised his hand to block it. At the same time, he held a row of needles as thin as a cow's hair and placed them in front of her, "Come here, I will teach you."
"What?" Xie Lingqin was even more surprised than before, met Mr. Dong's serious face, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Mr. Dong, you are so nice to me suddenly. I really... have nothing but beauty. I thought it would be rewarded."
"Didn't your beauty be given to the prince?"
Xie Lingqin was taken aback.
How did Mr. Dong know?
Could it be that Mr. Dong has an eyeliner in the prince's mansion?
"Come on." Elder Dong had already handed over a needle.
"Shenting, two inches into the needle." Elder Dong said.
Xie Lingqin...
"Where is the court of God?"
Elder Dong glanced at her, grabbed her sleeve, and fixed it on Qin Qi's head, "Here."
"Yangbai..."
Elder Dong said again.
Xie Lingqin looked at him again, "Where?"
The old and the young are here to study and give needles...
Qin Qi...
Can you kill me with a knife.
This is more terrifying than death.
For a long time, for a long time, until the sun went down, the closed door finally opened.
Xie Lingqin came out first, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Zihe and Tridacna immediately stepped forward to help.
Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "It's okay."
Absorbing too much knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion at once, she needs to settle down.
However, is Mr. Dong teaching her medical skills?
At this time, the servant's wife has rushed into the room in a hurry.
"Mrs. Minister, you can take your son back home. Remember, eat lightly and rest for a month before you can get out of bed."
Elder Dong rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
When Madam Shi Lang heard this, she was so moved that she almost fell to her knees and prostrated herself on the ground. When she looked into the room, although Qin Qi was dazed, his complexion was much ruddy.
Originally, Zhu Zhu heard the howls like slaughtering pigs inside, and wanted to rush in several times, but he held back.
Looking at it now, his son's spirit is much better, and he has become more sober, which is a cured symptom.
People are nice.
After watching Mrs. Shi Lang and Qin Qi go away, Xie Lingqin just looked at the finger and turned it.
"It is estimated that Qin Qi has been in the shadow of needles all his life."
"Okay, you can go too."
Mr. Dong suddenly started chasing customers.
Xie Lingqin looked at the sky, thinking she still wanted to stay.
"However, thank you, Mr. Dong." Xie Lingqin still saluted, but after only one salute, the door slammed shut.
This bad temper...
Deserves to be alone.
Xie Lingqin waved to Zihe and Tridacna, then walked out.
Taking a look at the carriage of the bearded man, Xie Lingqin left a letter for the young man in Dong Lao's mansion, and then walked with Zihe and Tridacna.
"Miss, this is not the way back to the General's Mansion."
Zihe looked at the direction he was going, wondering.
Xie Lingqin smiled, looked at Zihe, and then at Tridacna, "Didn't Miss promise you that you will have meritorious service today, and reward you with a bowl of maocai."
"Miss is going to feed the servants now?" Tridacna's eyes sparkled.
Zihe's eyes were darkened, and he became even more confused.
"Let's go, go change your clothes first." Xie Lingqin said again.
After a stick of incense, Xie Lingqin was dressed as a man in the past, and Zihe and Tridacna were also dressed as men.
After all, Zihe is calmer, no doubt about him.
Tridacna, however, was obviously a novelty. After watching it for a long time, I was able to confirm my thick male voice.
"Your voice, Tridacna...forget it, you'd better talk less."
Xie Lingqin said.
Because, although that guy Bai Yu is a little bit old, his IQ can occasionally be online. If he sees the clues, then it's not good.
The three stopped at the back door of the Maocai restaurant.
Zihe obeyed Xie Lingqin's order, took Xie Lingqin and Tridacna toes, and climbed over the wall.
"Little... Young Master Yan."
Minglan came out with someone again, but she obviously felt Xie Lingqin's aura, and she was not as vigilant as last time, so she immediately lowered her hands respectfully.
Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "I'll take them to see."
Minglan glanced at Zihe and Tridacna.
He recognized Zihe, after all, he had seen her last time when she was dressed as a woman.
Minglan didn't say anything, and with a wave of her hand, she was about to retreat with the people behind her.
"Don't go, let's go together." Xie Lingqin raised her hand and smiled mysteriously.
Minglan didn't know what to do, but she still led people to follow Xie Lingqin's footsteps.
A group of people entered the door.
As soon as the door is opened, a fresh and spicy aroma rushes into the taste buds.
And in the open kitchen, amidst the steaming heat, a vigorous figure was busy working.
Of course, these are not the most important things. What shocked Zihe and Tridacna the most was all the decorations in the store.
So... so different.
So... so eye-catching.
It's so... so innovative.
Fresh, elegant, plain chrysanthemums are as light as water, coupled with red pepper decorations, with spring flowers and autumn moon, the small room adapts to the scenery of the four seasons, and there are beautiful wind chimes and wall decorations, all of which they have never seen before. The way it looks, the lights on the top are also beautiful.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel like a spring breeze, comfortable and comfortable, but also unreconciled with ordinary elegance.
"Little Miss..." Zihe and Tridacna stuttered at the same time.
Xie Lingqin patted the two of them on the shoulders, then walked to the kitchen where the room was open, and called out, "Chef Bai, have you finished your skills, come on, so many people came to taste the food today."
At this time, Bai Yu's jade-white face was slightly reddened by the heat, her eyes were extremely bright, and she was extremely confident, "Sit, sit, sit, although I haven't surpassed you, but I will definitely not let you down."
"Did you hear that, Chef Bai told us to sit down?"
Minglan and his party sat on those exquisite stools that they were afraid of being damaged.
Zihe and Tridacna sit opposite each other.
"This shop belongs to your lady, eat as much as you can." Xie Lingqin whispered in their ears.
Tridacna was extremely shocked.
Zihe already understood, especially when he saw the things bought by the previous lady in the corner, his mind became clear instantly.
My heart was moved for no reason.
It turns out that it's not that Miss doesn't trust her, but that everything is not a foregone conclusion, so don't say it.
Moreover, there are some things that really need to be seen in person to be integrated into them.
"Miss, servant..."
Xie Lingqin raised her finger and signaled Zihe not to speak, "For a while, taste it carefully, don't think about what you have."
As soon as these words came out, Zihe felt even more guilty. It turned out that before, in the carriage, the young lady saw all her doubts and entangled thoughts.
The lady didn't say anything, but brought her directly.
Isn't this the best trust?She didn't question any of the young lady's words or decisions.
Under the circumstances of crisis everywhere, the lady still left such a hand, and supported such an excellent shop by herself. In the future, the general and others will definitely regret that they have treated the lady like this.
"However, I have to tell you two that this matter will never be kept secret, especially to the crown prince, whoever tells it..." Xie Lingqin slapped his neck afterwards, with a half-smile.
Zihe and Tridacna subconsciously stroked their necks, nodded hastily, and said in unison, "I promise not to disclose."
Xie Lingqin smiled, very satisfied.
After a while, Zihe and Tridacna had already been lost in the fresh, hot and rich food aroma.
And thirteen bowls of maocai, red, spicy, delicious, and full of enthusiasm, were placed in front of everyone in a short while.
"Come on, try them all, and give me some advice. We Chef Bai can improve it." Xie Lingqin sat by the side and ordered the table with a rare smile so bright and dazzling.
At this time, Bai Yu walked quickly from the kitchen, also in good spirits, obviously found some fun here, Erlang raised his legs, "Don't worry, the taste is guaranteed to be good. According to what you said, ten chefs have been trained. Now they are resting at the designated place, just waiting for the opening three days later."
Xie Lingqin nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."
No need to ask any more, just seeing Zihe giant clams, Minglan and others eating happily, you can know what it tastes like.
"However..." Bai Yu said thoughtfully, "When you opened the business, those activities you mentioned will use your countermeasures and employ a lot of people."
Hearing this, Xie Lingqin curled his lips into a faint smile, and his bright eyes suddenly fell on Bai Yu's face, "Master Nie has a lot of people, just pull them over and use them."
As soon as Bai Yu heard the name, Shencai immediately retreated, a bit unwilling and embarrassed, "Then, it's none of my business, you can go find her."
"Oh, since you don't want to go, I'll send..."
"Forget it, I'm so busy with the opening, I'll go." Bai Yu said righteously, but her ears turned red.
Xie Lingqin smiled lightly and did not expose it.
It's been so long, it's time for Nie Zui'er to do something.
Three days!
Xie Lingqin tapped her fingers on the table.
She wants everything, well.
"By the way, I asked someone to invite someone named Ning Xiucai, but he was hesitant to come, but he returned the ten taels of silver first." Bai Yu said, referring to Xie Ling who was in front of him Qin took out the twelve taels of silver ingot that Qin had given to Ning Xiucai.
Xie Lingqin looked at the ingot of silver, not surprised, but smiled, "It does have a lot of backbone."
"Then, do you want someone to invite you?"
Bai Yu said, and then said, "I've also heard about Ning Xiucai. Although he is a bit pedantic and extreme, he is really talented. Let him be our accountant. It's not a loss. After all, Qi Lao is getting old. In the future, when your shop grows bigger, he won't be able to do it alone."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "I'll take care of this, um, have you found someone to finish the things on my picture?"
"You said that something that looks like a bow is not a bow, and it looks like a slug but not a slut..." Bai Yu twitched her eyebrows and slapped her chest, "At first, no one would do it, but there is a shop that says it can do it, I will pick it up in a few days goods."
"it is good."
……
After leaving the Maocai restaurant, the three changed back into women's clothes.
Zihe and Tridacna still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Miss, it's so delicious, I've never tasted these before." Tridacna was extremely excited, "I always thought that the food in the mansion is the best in the world."
Xie Lingqin paused when he heard the sound, "Look at how promising you are, have you never eaten anything other than the food in the mansion?"
Zihe also looked at the giant clam in surprise.
Tridacna met Xie Lingqin's suspicious eyes, rubbed his sleeves cautiously and lowered his head, "My servant, my servant used to eat wild vegetables for a living, and even the meat was only available during festivals."
Zihe sympathized.
Also, if the family was poor, how could they sell themselves into the government as slaves.
Xie Lingqin smiled, but lightly took Tridacna's hand, "But there are no rough marks on your hand."
A girl from a poor background has no rough marks on her hands.
As soon as this remark came out, Zihe's eyes were fixed, yes, she didn't even notice it.
Raising her hand and comparing it with that of Tridacna, her hands are rougher than Tridacna's.
Although she is a martial arts practitioner, her palms are clean, and the calluses that have accumulated over time are on the outside of her palms, but this girl, Tridacna, has no old rough marks on her hands, even if there are, they are newly added.
What does this mean? It means that before coming to the General's Mansion, Tridacna must have had a good life and had not done heavy work.
However, people who have never done heavy work can do it with ease in Qingshui Pavilion without mentioning the lady?
Tridacna looked at Xie Lingqin and Zihe's suspicious eyes without any panic, but his breath darkened, "Miss, you are right, slave...
The slaves used to be from well-to-do families. " Tridacna said, lowering her head lower and lower, her whole body breathed like a layer of sadness in the dark night, "However, the servant's life is not good, and the family members said that they will restrain them, so the servant was given to the slave when he was young. It was sent to the mountain. At the beginning, some meals and clothes would be sent every once in a while. Later... January, March, June, one year... until the end, no one sent it, and the servants lived in the mountain all the time. It’s been eight years...no one talks, no one cares, except for knocking on wild vegetables with trees to fill our stomachs, and indeed, there is nothing to do..."
As Tridacna spoke, a drop of tear fell to the ground with a patter.
The autumn wind rolled over, and the tears dried up in an instant.
Xie Lingqin stared at the giant clam for a while, then raised his hand and hugged the giant clam into his arms, "Okay, I will hang out with the lady from now on, with the warm nest in hand, I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Hmm."
Tridacna nodded desperately, and the red glow in her lowered eyes flickered, and it disappeared very quickly.
When it was getting dark, the group returned to the General's Mansion.
However, I heard that Mrs. Shi Lang has returned the carriage.
……
"General, Missy has returned to Qingshui Pavilion, she looks fine." In the study, the guard stepped forward to report.
When General Xie heard this, he looked suspicious, "Did you really walk back with the maid?"
"Yes, General, the subordinates sent someone to follow him before, but after leaving the old man's mansion and entering the downtown area, he disappeared. It's really hard to find, but judging by the footsteps, it's about the same."
General Xie nodded and said again, "Is there anything unusual about the Zong government?"
"Back to the general, there is no one at present. Jing Zhaoyin is still checking the body of the man in black at the gate of the Zongzheng government that day. Mr. Zongzheng has not left the palace. In the palace..." The guard looked at General Xie.
"In the palace, the emperor has not expressed his position so far." General Xie was thoughtful.
However, no matter what, he didn't want the Zong government to get better.
Zongzheng Shao, in this life, I am not sorry for you...
General Xie fisted his hand, and looked towards the dark room next to the bookshelf little by little, with deep eyes and bursting with hatred.
……
However, everyone thought that Xie Lingqin, who had returned to Qingshui Pavilion, had already changed into men's clothes and slipped out of the General's Mansion.
There is no news from the seventh princess yet, Xie Lingqin doesn't think the prince will let her go this time, but if the matter is delayed for too long, it will be even worse for the clan government's reputation.
Standing outside the Prince's mansion, Xie Lingqin considered for a while, leaned slightly, turned around, and did not go in.
She was extremely fast, with light steps, and soon got into a dilapidated house.
"Brother Ning, I've finished eating all the rice today..."
"I see, don't worry, I won't make you hungry, go to sleep..."
"Brother Ning, your clothes haven't been washed yet."
"It's such a cold day, I'll wash it, and you take a snapshot to watch your brothers and sisters sleep."
Ning Yi looked at Ning Xiucai pitifully and stubbornly, "Brother Ning..."
"Okay, go to sleep."
With the quilt pulled, Ning Xiucai walked out of the room and closed the door.
The autumn night wind blows in through the dilapidated hand window, it looks cold.
Xie Lingqin stepped down and stood in front of Ning Xiucai.
"you……"
"Keep your voice down, don't wake people up." Xie Lingqin clasped his hands behind his back, "I'm so poor that I don't have enough rice to cook, and I'm still hypocritical."
"A man, a real man, stands up to the sky and the earth, and will not be eaten by you."
Ning Xiucai speaks righteously, with his head held high and his chest held high.
Xie Lingmei sneered, "It's so good to stand up to the sky and not be eaten by you. Then let me ask you, what kind of sky do you stand on and what ground do you stand on? You stand up to the sky and let these children follow you to suffer and starve. land, so that they can’t eat enough or keep warm.”
"A man should do something and not do anything."
"Did I tell you to kill people, to sell your body, to do dirty and despicable things?"
"It's definitely not serious for you to disguise yourself as a man..."
"It's indecent for me to disguise myself as a man. Then you are wearing patchwork clothes, and you have never married a wife in your [-]s, but you have brought up so many children. Can I say that you deliberately kidnapped and imprisoned them?"
"You...I'm not..."
Ning Xiucai was too angry to speak.
"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." Xie Lingqin stopped joking, and with serious eyes, he got into his sleeve, took out the ten taels of silver, and put it on the table beside him, "This is the prepayment for you as the accountant. Wages, don’t stand up to the sky, don’t eat or wear warm, set up a bullshit world.”
"you……"
"What are you, let's go, tomorrow I will go to the shop covered with red cloth at No. [-] East Street." After speaking, Xie Lingqin left.
Looking at Xie Lingqin's upright back, Ning Xiucai's face was stretched long, and his brows were frowned. After a long time, he looked at the ingot of silver, and then at the door.
Which family does this lady belong to?
That's right... there is some truth to it.
……
After Xie Lingqin left Ning Xiucai's house, she went straight to a small forest.
Moonlight shines through the cracks in the leaves.
Standing there alone, waiting for a long time.
The update is late, I punish myself to think about my mistakes~ Don't comfort me, Xinzhi went to face the wall~
(End of this chapter)
The wheels of the carriage rolled softly on the ground.
The autumn wind blows, the curtains are rolled up, and there is silence.
The curtain was pulled up, Zihe outside the car and Tridacna inside the car looked at each other, they couldn't forget Qin Xun's shocked face just now when she was exposed by the lady, and they couldn't forget just now when she heard that the lady had helped him , Qin Xun became more and more complicated.
and……
They don't know these things.
Zihe suddenly felt that he was a failure. It was obviously given to the young lady by the prince to protect the young lady and share her worries, but she seemed to have never helped the young lady to share any worries.
So, Miss doesn't trust her either.
Carefully put away the little doubts in his heart, Zihe looked outside, "Miss, Madam Shilang has probably arrived at Dong Lao's mansion at this moment, tell me, will Dong Lao heal Mr. Qin?"
Xie Lingqin's eyes flickered, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head, "I don't know."
Mr. Dong is a weird old man with gloomy thoughts and a cunning old fox.
If the prince is said to be the proud and tortured Mount Tai in the high mountains and snowy seas, then this Elder Dong must be an old goblin who has practiced for thousands of years.
Of course, there is really no comparison between the two.
Xie Lingqin stroked her forehead, hoping to let her calm down in a while.
I was cheated by the prince today, and I really don't want to cheat again.
She was a top killer in her previous life, but she was useless to survive in this different world, and she had no power.
"However, Miss, would Mr. Dong want to take you in as an apprentice, that's why he made such an exception for you?" On the side, Tridacna, who was usually quiet, suddenly asked curiously.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, "Silly boy, don't be so proud. If Mr. Dong really wants to accept me as an apprentice, it must be a bad thing."
"However, Miss, I heard that Mr. Dong has no descendants. He took several apprentices before and was dismissed. After that, the princes and princes also learned from them. It's just that, except for the prince who learned a little longer, everyone I have no seniors, but the relationship between the crown prince and Elder Dong is not very good."
Xie Lingqin mopped her cheeks, exchanged a glance with Zihe, and looked at Tridacna's small mouth with interest.
"Miss, if you become Elder Dong's apprentice, it will be of great help. In the future, the general will look up to you..."
"Also, miss, the most important thing is that Mr. Dong has no descendants. If he dies in the future, all his things will be yours. I heard that he has many houses, miss..."
The clam's voice stopped abruptly, a pair of bright eyes flashed, blinked, and looked at Xie Lingqin with sympathy, "Miss, did the servant say something wrong? Don't look at the servant with such eyes, the servant is afraid .”
"No." Xie Lingqin dragged her cheeks, and her star pupils seemed to be inlaid with thin fragments of light, which were a bit scorchingly bright, "Suddenly realized, you little girl, you know, there are quite a lot."
"This..." Tridacna immediately lowered her head guiltily when she heard the words, "Isn't everyone in the capital, as old as 60 years old, and as young as three years old, know about this?"
"Really." Xie Lingqin looked sideways at Zihe, "Zihe, do you know?"
Zihe swallowed, and shook his head, "Is the relationship between the crown prince and Mr. Dong not good? The servants don't know about this matter."
Tridacna scratched her head, "Isn't that how it is spread?"
"Miss, here we are."
At this time, Zihe pulled the rein of the horse and stopped the cart.
At the entrance of the Dong Mansion, the carriage borrowed by Mrs. Cai Lang was parked. The driver was on the carriage, and a few guards stood by. When he saw Xie Lingqin coming down from the carriage, the driver saluted, but the guards were clearly stunned. They looked at each other in blank dismay, with different thoughts.
Could it be that Miss Xie is coming to return the carriage right now...
"Xie Lingqin, you are so active. You even came here. You want to see if my son is dead, or you want to go back to the carriage."
At this time, at the gate of Dong's Mansion, the servant's wife heard an angry voice.
On the side, several guards carried Qin Qi to reveal a corner, as if spinning... .
This……
Xie Lingqin automatically ignored Mrs. Minister's roar and clamor, but stretched her neck, very puzzled.
Even if she doesn't know a doctor, she knows that if the injury is as serious as Qin Qi's, she will definitely not be able to move a lot, but right now, being carried by the guards, she is obviously spinning in circles.
"Hmph, what are you looking at? Let me tell you, with Elder Dong here, my son will not die." Mrs. Shi Lang roared angrily again.
Xie Lingqin shook his head speechless, then walked forward.
"Stop her, don't let her in." The servant's wife immediately ordered.
"Miss Xie, please stay." A guard immediately stopped her.
Zihe wanted to stand in front, but Xie Lingqin stopped her, looked at the guard coldly, and said with red lips, "Get out."
"Thanks……"
"roll."
"my home……"
"roll."
Raising his hand and slapping him, the guard stared blankly at Xie Lingqin, and then at the maidservant next to Xie Lingqin who made the move, his complexion turned ashen, and he covered his face, "Miss Xie, my son is treating your wounds, please do not disturb."
"Dare to hit my guard, Xie Lingqin, you really dare, someone, give her to me and arrest her, new and old hatred, I don't believe that General Xie can still play favoritism."
The servant's wife is also in a hurry. The son here is half awake and still suffering from this. Right now, Xie Lingqin still wants to make trouble.
See if I don't torture you to death.
Xie Lingqin smiled lightly, and raised her eyes indifferently, "Dare to ask Mrs. Minister, is this your residence?"
"This……"
Mrs. Shi Lang choked when she heard the sound, but said in a firm tone, "Elder Dong likes to be quiet, so you'd better not make trouble here."
Xie Lingqin thought how could there be such a ridiculous person in the world, this minister's wife was the second aunt's younger sister after all, why didn't she even learn half of the second aunt's scheming from the Cheng family.
"Mrs. Minister, I just want to say it once. I'm here to see Mr. Dong. If you are rude to me again, I don't care what Mrs. Minister or Mrs. Ghost you are. I will call you."
When Xie Lingqin said this, of course he noticed that no one was around, and...
Anyway, Elder Dong knows her true face, so he doesn't care about pretending.
As soon as the words came out, the wife of the servant sneered, "Joke, you came to see Mr. Dong? Can Mr. Dong see you? I still believe that your father came to see Mr. Dong." Madam Shilang condensed her eyes and stood alone. At the gate of Dong's Mansion, it looks like it is in charge of the house.
Let people see it, maybe they think it is Dong Laoxin's wife who is in charge of the house.
Xie Lingqin's eyes flashed, and he thought it from his heart, so he didn't take it seriously, instead he glanced at Zihe and Tridacna behind him, and sighed, "Hey, look, I was originally invited by Mr. Dong to make a special trip. I came to Dong's mansion to chat with Mr. Dong to relieve my boredom. I never thought that Mrs. Shilang has been blocking me. I am a weak woman, and I don't want to cause trouble for Mr. Dong, so we will move. Let's go."
Zihe responded immediately, "Miss is right, hey." He sighed and expressed his helplessness.
Tridacna also stepped forward and said, "Miss, you have worked so hard to come here in vain. If Mr. Dong knew about it, he wouldn't blame you."
"Let's go." Xie Lingqin raised his hand and was about to go to the carriage.
On the side, the young servant of the Dong Mansion who had been hiding in the corner of the gate for a long time finally couldn't stand it any longer. He straightened his face, as if he had just come over, and stepped forward, "Miss Lingqin, please stop, Elder Dong is waiting for you to come."
Xie Lingqin turned around and glanced at the lady at the door, who was stunned for a moment, whose complexion was as beautiful as a rainbow, and then looked at the servant, quite helplessly, "But, the lady is not allowed to enter."
"This is Dong's Mansion..." The young servant didn't want to offend Mrs. Shi Lang, so he spoke in a serious voice.
Obviously, the servant's wife is also jealous of this young man.After all, Mr. Dong is a character, and she can't offend the servants around him.
She begged for a long time just now before letting Elder Dong come to the rescue.
"You, you, you... really came to see Mr. Dong." When Mrs. Shi Lang spoke again, her voice stuttered and she was still very embarrassed.Immediately, he became stern again, and it is not sure what will happen when he comes to see Mr. Dong.
However, Mrs. Shi Lang's face was still calm, she glared at Xie Lingqin angrily, and retreated.
"Thank you Madam Shi Lang for letting me go." Xie Lingqin strode past Madam Shi Lang and walked inside.
However, the distance was far away, and there was a gate through which I couldn't see clearly, so I took a closer look.
Xie Lingqin felt pain because of Qin Qi.
Such a seriously ill person, who was beaten by her in the first place so that he doubted his life, and then was drugged by Qin Xun to make him like this, and then his mother hurriedly sent him for treatment, but he was tossing like this.
Seeing those guards carrying Qin around and jumping, they were sweating.
Qin Qi's complexion was pale...
It's really enough to spin, jump, and I close my eyes...
How much hatred does Elder Dong have for Qin Qi.
"Miss, this Mr. Qin is really miserable."
Zihe couldn't help but whisper, with a look of shock.
Tridacna's eyes widened even more.
"Look at what, Mr. Dong said, this is a special treatment method, ordinary people don't understand it, Elder Sister Xie can't read or write on weekdays, and stays in the general's mansion all day long, so she doesn't know much, so naturally she doesn't know. "
The servant's wife was also afraid that Xie Lingqin would disturb her son's spinning and jumping, so she spoke in a sinister manner.
Xie Lingqin...
There are people who have to protect them even if they die, and there is no one left.
And the young man didn't look up from the beginning to the end, just walked forward and led the way.
Xie Lingqin looked at the boy's back with a calm expression.
This young man has been hiding in the corner behind the gate since her carriage arrived at the gate of Dong's Mansion just now. He obviously came out after watching enough drama.
Of course, this little guy is gutless at first glance, so, who else can make him do this, except for Mr. Dong who is still acting like a demon at such a young age.
Before he had gone far, he could smell a strong smell of medicine coming from ahead.
The servant led the three of Xie Lingqin past a herb garden, and then entered a yard.
Elder Dong was wearing a plain robe and was dumping medicinal herbs in the dustpan. He glanced at Xie Lingqin, "It came so slowly."
"I want to hurry up, but someone is singing in front of your house, Mr. Dong. If I don't cooperate, I can't show your high medical skills."
Elder Dong snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and beckoned, "Come here, help me pick up the medicine."
Xie Lingqin didn't move, and explained, "Mr. Dong, I'm here to chat with you to relieve boredom."
The implication is that she will not do the matter of picking up medicine.
Elder Dong rolled his eyes, and put the dustpan aside, "Little girl, it's still here."
"Mr. Dong, just now Mrs. Shi Lang said that she has been spinning and jumping for half a stick of incense according to your instructions. What should I do next?"
At this time, a child came to report.
Elder Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin, and then looked at the boy again, "Let Mrs. Shi Lang bring him here."
"Yes."
The little boy backed away, and Elder Dong stroked his beard, stroked his silver hair, and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Little girl, whether you want to embarrass yourself or embarrass others depends on your performance."
At this moment, Xie Lingqin seemed to read a kind of calculating light from Dong Lao's eyelids.
Pick up medicine.
"Tradacna, Zihe, you all wait at the side." Xie Lingqin finished his order and walked in.
Zihe and Tridacna retreated immediately.
However, after taking two steps, Tridacna turned back to look in Elder Dong's direction, his bright eyes were thoughtful and extremely puzzled.
It seems that something can't be figured out.
Xie Lingqin rolled up his sleeves lightly, and as soon as he took the dustpan, the servant's wife came over with the guards carrying Qin Qi.
"Elder Dong..."
The words were full of anticipation and enthusiasm. After seeing Xie Lingqin pouring out the herbs, his voice stopped, his face froze, he raised his hand, pointed at Xie Lingqin, and asked Mr. Dong, "Mr. Dong, she..."
"Oh, Miss Xie's family just happened to come to help me today, and she will help me when I give acupuncture later."
"she……"
Mrs. Minister's eyes are about to pop out.
Xie Lingqin helps, then her...
"Mr. Dong, you are not kidding. Miss Xie has a grudge with my son. Will she do something about it?" Mrs. Shi Lang's voice was trembling when she spoke.
"Ms. Minister, do you not believe me?" Elder Dong became angry, his voice sank suddenly, and he blew his beard and stared, "If you don't believe me, why bother to ask me to save your son, go, go now."
"Oh, no, no, no... Elder Dong, that's not what I mean, just fix it, fix it now."
Xie Lingqin looked at Mrs. Shi Lang like this, she really admired this old Dong.
This is obviously relying on my own good medical skills to handle the other party very well.
Another glance at Qin Qi.
It is estimated that there is only half a breath left hanging there.
It is estimated that the spinning and jumping just now has exhausted the prehistoric power.
"Mr. Dong, what an enmity you have with Qin Qi, you're so ruthless." Xie Lingqin glanced at her eyebrows and said in a low voice.
Sure enough, there is no abuse, only more abuse.
Unexpectedly, Elder Dong glanced at her and said calmly, "I'm not saving him."
Xie Lingqin...
Dong Lao, you are so old, you are really humorous, but she enjoyed watching it very much.
After a while, several guards carried Qin Qi into a hard bed in the room and made Qin Qi lie on his stomach.
As soon as Xie Lingqin approached, Qin Qi trembled violently, his eyes were full of panic.
"Son, it's okay, it's okay, Mr. Dong will give you an injection, and you'll be fine in a while." Mrs. Shi Lang stepped forward to comfort her.
"Madam, I want to give an injection, you should go out first."
Dong Lao said warmly.
Mrs. Shi Lang heard this, if it was normal, she would have retreated respectfully and respectfully, but at the moment, Xie Lingqin is still in the room, and she is still holding such a long needle.
"Dong... Elder Dong..."
Madam Shi Lang rubbed her sleeves, hesitated, "May I..."
"Madam Shi Lang, you don't want to save the dog anymore." Elder Dong's voice was deep and undeniable.
"Then, why did Miss Xie stay here?" Mrs. Shi Lang didn't dare to ask questions, she didn't dare to question, she tried her best to speak softly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Dong glanced at Xie Lingqin, "Oh, I want to leave her in the room to deliver needles. This girl is safe and pleasing, and I trust her."
"This..." Madam Shilang parted her lips, and glanced at her son who was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open but unable to move, and could only tighten his hands, "Son, let me go out first, mother. Don't worry, Elder Dong will definitely save you."
These words were obviously addressed to Elder Dong.
However, Dong Laoba remained motionless, as if he didn't hear it.
Qin Qi's eyes were frightened, and he seemed to want to hold the hand of the servant's wife, but he didn't have the strength.
So, the door closed.
Xie Lingqin looked at Elder Dong just now, and said in a very low voice, "Elder Dong, do you want to kill Qin Qi and blame me, or do you want to give me a chance to vent your anger."
The tone is cold and cool, not joking.
Elder Dong raised his wrinkled eyes and glanced at her, "As you please."
Whatever she wants?
At this time, only she, Elder Dong, and Qin Qi on the couch were left in the room.
"A needle." Dong Lao said.
"What size? What size?" Xie Lingqin stared at the rows of needles of different sizes, feeling a little bit pained.
"You can have whatever size you want, and whatever size you want." Mr. Dong walked aside, picked up the teacup, and casually ignored Xie Lingqin's expression of almost astonishment after hearing this.
Xie Lingqin was indeed astonished.
She thought that when she came to Dong's mansion today, this old man must be thinking of a way to get rid of her, but she never thought that he would give her such a big benefit.
Looking up at him, the look of a leisurely old god is really, so cute.
"Mr. Dong, you are highly respected." With a smile on Xie Lingqin's face, he walked to the side, took a needle as thick as chopsticks, and rubbed it on his fingertips carefully. .
"No no no..."
Qin Qi who was on the bed almost lost his breath of fright when he saw this, his already pale face became even paler, and his eyes also danced abruptly and forcefully.
Desperately, trying to retreat, want to get up, want to resist.
However, powerless.
At this moment, who still thinks that Xie Lingqin is as beautiful as a flower, with such a clear smile on his face, against the silver needle shining coldly in his hand, it almost makes him faint to death.
This is the devil.
Demons from hell.
A demon that spreads fear from the bottom of the heart to all limbs and bones.
Xie Lingqin stood by the bed with a needle in his hand, and said in an unusually gentle voice, "Young Master Qin, I have heavy hands, please be more generous."
"No no no..."
Qin Qi was seriously injured, slurred in speech, and desperately refused.
"Mr. Dong, where can I get the needle?" Xie Lingqin asked Mr. Dong again at this time.
"Where do you want to go?"
Xie Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Mr. Dong, you are not only highly respected, but also amazing.
Dong Lao didn't even close his eyelids, and continued to drink tea, but in the mist of tea, a very faint smile flashed across the corners of his lips covered with fine lines.
So ever.
Xie Lingqin really hit the needle.
First stitch, poke your finger.
"what!"
Qin Qi screamed and trembled in pain.
Ten fingers to heart, it should be.
"Mr. Qin, don't call, this is just the first step to save you. You see, after so many years, I'm still alive, right? The icy lake didn't freeze me to death."
Another stitch.
"what!"
Another cry of pain seemed to knock the roof off.
so tragic.
"What's your name? This pain is nothing. Your parents listened to your words. They colluded with Xie Lingyu that day and asked the people from the Palace of the Underworld to plot against me. If I hadn't been blessed by God, I wouldn't be allowed to hang up at this moment. Let's go, you say, right..."
Xie Lingqin smiled coolly, raised his hand, and gave another injection.
"what!"
Qin Qi couldn't stand it anymore, but, he couldn't get dizzy, so he could only infinitely enlarge Xie Lingqin's beautiful and smiling face in his pupils.
That is Ronggu Youlan, that is Hell Mandala.
"I, I, I... I was wrong, I was wrong... It's over..."
"Yeah, I know I'm wrong." Xie Lingqin waved his hand, and looked at Dong Lao who was still drinking tea, "Dong Lao, it's time to change the needle."
"Well, as long as you like it."
Xie Lingqin liked hearing this, so she immediately went to get a thinner silver needle.
However, it's still rough.
Qin Qi...
There is nothing to love in life, his heart is ashamed, and his face is full of despair.
"Mother...Mother..."
Mrs. Shi Lang was standing in the yard at this time, hearing the miserable howls in the house, her internal organs were in pain, but just as she was about to move in and rush in, she thought of Elder Dong's medical skills.
She didn't believe in Xie Lingqin, but she believed in Elder Dong.
And inside the room, Xie Lingqin had a full view of Mrs. Shi Lang's painful complexion through the gap in the window. There was no sympathy at the corners of her lips, only coolness.
Their own son's life is his life, but in their eyes, other people's lives can be trampled on like ants.
This Qin Qi is full of evil and lewdness, and she really deserves to die. In the past few years, she has been ridiculed and bullied, and the scene is passing by before her eyes.
That fall into the lake, the original owner endured much pain to survive.
Xie Lingqin inserted another needle, this time she didn't take it out quickly, but pointed at that acupuncture point and shook it left and right vigorously.
Qin Qi was sweating profusely from the pain, but he couldn't move.
"Qin Qi, remember, this is the price you paid. I won't let you die today, just to avoid trouble and give you a chance. Remember, if I want you to die, there are more than 1000 ways, and there is absolutely no One is what you can think of, hear?"
Xie Lingqin's voice, like a mournful bell, struck Qin Qi's ear.
He opened his frightened eyes and nodded almost mechanically.
Very good, Xie Lingqin had a cool smile on his lips.
If a person doesn't want to trouble you any more, and doesn't want to take revenge, then just thinking of you will make him feel chills to the bone, covered in bruises, and even his breath can spray out images of his own suffering.
Forever, nightmare.
"Okay, Mr. Dong, I've finished the needle here, it's your turn."
Xie Lingqin got up slowly, and was about to put down the needle, but Mr. Dong came over and raised his hand to block it. At the same time, he held a row of needles as thin as a cow's hair and placed them in front of her, "Come here, I will teach you."
"What?" Xie Lingqin was even more surprised than before, met Mr. Dong's serious face, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Mr. Dong, you are so nice to me suddenly. I really... have nothing but beauty. I thought it would be rewarded."
"Didn't your beauty be given to the prince?"
Xie Lingqin was taken aback.
How did Mr. Dong know?
Could it be that Mr. Dong has an eyeliner in the prince's mansion?
"Come on." Elder Dong had already handed over a needle.
"Shenting, two inches into the needle." Elder Dong said.
Xie Lingqin...
"Where is the court of God?"
Elder Dong glanced at her, grabbed her sleeve, and fixed it on Qin Qi's head, "Here."
"Yangbai..."
Elder Dong said again.
Xie Lingqin looked at him again, "Where?"
The old and the young are here to study and give needles...
Qin Qi...
Can you kill me with a knife.
This is more terrifying than death.
For a long time, for a long time, until the sun went down, the closed door finally opened.
Xie Lingqin came out first, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Zihe and Tridacna immediately stepped forward to help.
Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "It's okay."
Absorbing too much knowledge of acupuncture and moxibustion at once, she needs to settle down.
However, is Mr. Dong teaching her medical skills?
At this time, the servant's wife has rushed into the room in a hurry.
"Mrs. Minister, you can take your son back home. Remember, eat lightly and rest for a month before you can get out of bed."
Elder Dong rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
When Madam Shi Lang heard this, she was so moved that she almost fell to her knees and prostrated herself on the ground. When she looked into the room, although Qin Qi was dazed, his complexion was much ruddy.
Originally, Zhu Zhu heard the howls like slaughtering pigs inside, and wanted to rush in several times, but he held back.
Looking at it now, his son's spirit is much better, and he has become more sober, which is a cured symptom.
People are nice.
After watching Mrs. Shi Lang and Qin Qi go away, Xie Lingqin just looked at the finger and turned it.
"It is estimated that Qin Qi has been in the shadow of needles all his life."
"Okay, you can go too."
Mr. Dong suddenly started chasing customers.
Xie Lingqin looked at the sky, thinking she still wanted to stay.
"However, thank you, Mr. Dong." Xie Lingqin still saluted, but after only one salute, the door slammed shut.
This bad temper...
Deserves to be alone.
Xie Lingqin waved to Zihe and Tridacna, then walked out.
Taking a look at the carriage of the bearded man, Xie Lingqin left a letter for the young man in Dong Lao's mansion, and then walked with Zihe and Tridacna.
"Miss, this is not the way back to the General's Mansion."
Zihe looked at the direction he was going, wondering.
Xie Lingqin smiled, looked at Zihe, and then at Tridacna, "Didn't Miss promise you that you will have meritorious service today, and reward you with a bowl of maocai."
"Miss is going to feed the servants now?" Tridacna's eyes sparkled.
Zihe's eyes were darkened, and he became even more confused.
"Let's go, go change your clothes first." Xie Lingqin said again.
After a stick of incense, Xie Lingqin was dressed as a man in the past, and Zihe and Tridacna were also dressed as men.
After all, Zihe is calmer, no doubt about him.
Tridacna, however, was obviously a novelty. After watching it for a long time, I was able to confirm my thick male voice.
"Your voice, Tridacna...forget it, you'd better talk less."
Xie Lingqin said.
Because, although that guy Bai Yu is a little bit old, his IQ can occasionally be online. If he sees the clues, then it's not good.
The three stopped at the back door of the Maocai restaurant.
Zihe obeyed Xie Lingqin's order, took Xie Lingqin and Tridacna toes, and climbed over the wall.
"Little... Young Master Yan."
Minglan came out with someone again, but she obviously felt Xie Lingqin's aura, and she was not as vigilant as last time, so she immediately lowered her hands respectfully.
Xie Lingqin waved his hand, "I'll take them to see."
Minglan glanced at Zihe and Tridacna.
He recognized Zihe, after all, he had seen her last time when she was dressed as a woman.
Minglan didn't say anything, and with a wave of her hand, she was about to retreat with the people behind her.
"Don't go, let's go together." Xie Lingqin raised her hand and smiled mysteriously.
Minglan didn't know what to do, but she still led people to follow Xie Lingqin's footsteps.
A group of people entered the door.
As soon as the door is opened, a fresh and spicy aroma rushes into the taste buds.
And in the open kitchen, amidst the steaming heat, a vigorous figure was busy working.
Of course, these are not the most important things. What shocked Zihe and Tridacna the most was all the decorations in the store.
So... so different.
So... so eye-catching.
It's so... so innovative.
Fresh, elegant, plain chrysanthemums are as light as water, coupled with red pepper decorations, with spring flowers and autumn moon, the small room adapts to the scenery of the four seasons, and there are beautiful wind chimes and wall decorations, all of which they have never seen before. The way it looks, the lights on the top are also beautiful.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel like a spring breeze, comfortable and comfortable, but also unreconciled with ordinary elegance.
"Little Miss..." Zihe and Tridacna stuttered at the same time.
Xie Lingqin patted the two of them on the shoulders, then walked to the kitchen where the room was open, and called out, "Chef Bai, have you finished your skills, come on, so many people came to taste the food today."
At this time, Bai Yu's jade-white face was slightly reddened by the heat, her eyes were extremely bright, and she was extremely confident, "Sit, sit, sit, although I haven't surpassed you, but I will definitely not let you down."
"Did you hear that, Chef Bai told us to sit down?"
Minglan and his party sat on those exquisite stools that they were afraid of being damaged.
Zihe and Tridacna sit opposite each other.
"This shop belongs to your lady, eat as much as you can." Xie Lingqin whispered in their ears.
Tridacna was extremely shocked.
Zihe already understood, especially when he saw the things bought by the previous lady in the corner, his mind became clear instantly.
My heart was moved for no reason.
It turns out that it's not that Miss doesn't trust her, but that everything is not a foregone conclusion, so don't say it.
Moreover, there are some things that really need to be seen in person to be integrated into them.
"Miss, servant..."
Xie Lingqin raised her finger and signaled Zihe not to speak, "For a while, taste it carefully, don't think about what you have."
As soon as these words came out, Zihe felt even more guilty. It turned out that before, in the carriage, the young lady saw all her doubts and entangled thoughts.
The lady didn't say anything, but brought her directly.
Isn't this the best trust?She didn't question any of the young lady's words or decisions.
Under the circumstances of crisis everywhere, the lady still left such a hand, and supported such an excellent shop by herself. In the future, the general and others will definitely regret that they have treated the lady like this.
"However, I have to tell you two that this matter will never be kept secret, especially to the crown prince, whoever tells it..." Xie Lingqin slapped his neck afterwards, with a half-smile.
Zihe and Tridacna subconsciously stroked their necks, nodded hastily, and said in unison, "I promise not to disclose."
Xie Lingqin smiled, very satisfied.
After a while, Zihe and Tridacna had already been lost in the fresh, hot and rich food aroma.
And thirteen bowls of maocai, red, spicy, delicious, and full of enthusiasm, were placed in front of everyone in a short while.
"Come on, try them all, and give me some advice. We Chef Bai can improve it." Xie Lingqin sat by the side and ordered the table with a rare smile so bright and dazzling.
At this time, Bai Yu walked quickly from the kitchen, also in good spirits, obviously found some fun here, Erlang raised his legs, "Don't worry, the taste is guaranteed to be good. According to what you said, ten chefs have been trained. Now they are resting at the designated place, just waiting for the opening three days later."
Xie Lingqin nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."
No need to ask any more, just seeing Zihe giant clams, Minglan and others eating happily, you can know what it tastes like.
"However..." Bai Yu said thoughtfully, "When you opened the business, those activities you mentioned will use your countermeasures and employ a lot of people."
Hearing this, Xie Lingqin curled his lips into a faint smile, and his bright eyes suddenly fell on Bai Yu's face, "Master Nie has a lot of people, just pull them over and use them."
As soon as Bai Yu heard the name, Shencai immediately retreated, a bit unwilling and embarrassed, "Then, it's none of my business, you can go find her."
"Oh, since you don't want to go, I'll send..."
"Forget it, I'm so busy with the opening, I'll go." Bai Yu said righteously, but her ears turned red.
Xie Lingqin smiled lightly and did not expose it.
It's been so long, it's time for Nie Zui'er to do something.
Three days!
Xie Lingqin tapped her fingers on the table.
She wants everything, well.
"By the way, I asked someone to invite someone named Ning Xiucai, but he was hesitant to come, but he returned the ten taels of silver first." Bai Yu said, referring to Xie Ling who was in front of him Qin took out the twelve taels of silver ingot that Qin had given to Ning Xiucai.
Xie Lingqin looked at the ingot of silver, not surprised, but smiled, "It does have a lot of backbone."
"Then, do you want someone to invite you?"
Bai Yu said, and then said, "I've also heard about Ning Xiucai. Although he is a bit pedantic and extreme, he is really talented. Let him be our accountant. It's not a loss. After all, Qi Lao is getting old. In the future, when your shop grows bigger, he won't be able to do it alone."
Xie Lingqin nodded, "I'll take care of this, um, have you found someone to finish the things on my picture?"
"You said that something that looks like a bow is not a bow, and it looks like a slug but not a slut..." Bai Yu twitched her eyebrows and slapped her chest, "At first, no one would do it, but there is a shop that says it can do it, I will pick it up in a few days goods."
"it is good."
……
After leaving the Maocai restaurant, the three changed back into women's clothes.
Zihe and Tridacna still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Miss, it's so delicious, I've never tasted these before." Tridacna was extremely excited, "I always thought that the food in the mansion is the best in the world."
Xie Lingqin paused when he heard the sound, "Look at how promising you are, have you never eaten anything other than the food in the mansion?"
Zihe also looked at the giant clam in surprise.
Tridacna met Xie Lingqin's suspicious eyes, rubbed his sleeves cautiously and lowered his head, "My servant, my servant used to eat wild vegetables for a living, and even the meat was only available during festivals."
Zihe sympathized.
Also, if the family was poor, how could they sell themselves into the government as slaves.
Xie Lingqin smiled, but lightly took Tridacna's hand, "But there are no rough marks on your hand."
A girl from a poor background has no rough marks on her hands.
As soon as this remark came out, Zihe's eyes were fixed, yes, she didn't even notice it.
Raising her hand and comparing it with that of Tridacna, her hands are rougher than Tridacna's.
Although she is a martial arts practitioner, her palms are clean, and the calluses that have accumulated over time are on the outside of her palms, but this girl, Tridacna, has no old rough marks on her hands, even if there are, they are newly added.
What does this mean? It means that before coming to the General's Mansion, Tridacna must have had a good life and had not done heavy work.
However, people who have never done heavy work can do it with ease in Qingshui Pavilion without mentioning the lady?
Tridacna looked at Xie Lingqin and Zihe's suspicious eyes without any panic, but his breath darkened, "Miss, you are right, slave...
The slaves used to be from well-to-do families. " Tridacna said, lowering her head lower and lower, her whole body breathed like a layer of sadness in the dark night, "However, the servant's life is not good, and the family members said that they will restrain them, so the servant was given to the slave when he was young. It was sent to the mountain. At the beginning, some meals and clothes would be sent every once in a while. Later... January, March, June, one year... until the end, no one sent it, and the servants lived in the mountain all the time. It’s been eight years...no one talks, no one cares, except for knocking on wild vegetables with trees to fill our stomachs, and indeed, there is nothing to do..."
As Tridacna spoke, a drop of tear fell to the ground with a patter.
The autumn wind rolled over, and the tears dried up in an instant.
Xie Lingqin stared at the giant clam for a while, then raised his hand and hugged the giant clam into his arms, "Okay, I will hang out with the lady from now on, with the warm nest in hand, I don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Hmm."
Tridacna nodded desperately, and the red glow in her lowered eyes flickered, and it disappeared very quickly.
When it was getting dark, the group returned to the General's Mansion.
However, I heard that Mrs. Shi Lang has returned the carriage.
……
"General, Missy has returned to Qingshui Pavilion, she looks fine." In the study, the guard stepped forward to report.
When General Xie heard this, he looked suspicious, "Did you really walk back with the maid?"
"Yes, General, the subordinates sent someone to follow him before, but after leaving the old man's mansion and entering the downtown area, he disappeared. It's really hard to find, but judging by the footsteps, it's about the same."
General Xie nodded and said again, "Is there anything unusual about the Zong government?"
"Back to the general, there is no one at present. Jing Zhaoyin is still checking the body of the man in black at the gate of the Zongzheng government that day. Mr. Zongzheng has not left the palace. In the palace..." The guard looked at General Xie.
"In the palace, the emperor has not expressed his position so far." General Xie was thoughtful.
However, no matter what, he didn't want the Zong government to get better.
Zongzheng Shao, in this life, I am not sorry for you...
General Xie fisted his hand, and looked towards the dark room next to the bookshelf little by little, with deep eyes and bursting with hatred.
……
However, everyone thought that Xie Lingqin, who had returned to Qingshui Pavilion, had already changed into men's clothes and slipped out of the General's Mansion.
There is no news from the seventh princess yet, Xie Lingqin doesn't think the prince will let her go this time, but if the matter is delayed for too long, it will be even worse for the clan government's reputation.
Standing outside the Prince's mansion, Xie Lingqin considered for a while, leaned slightly, turned around, and did not go in.
She was extremely fast, with light steps, and soon got into a dilapidated house.
"Brother Ning, I've finished eating all the rice today..."
"I see, don't worry, I won't make you hungry, go to sleep..."
"Brother Ning, your clothes haven't been washed yet."
"It's such a cold day, I'll wash it, and you take a snapshot to watch your brothers and sisters sleep."
Ning Yi looked at Ning Xiucai pitifully and stubbornly, "Brother Ning..."
"Okay, go to sleep."
With the quilt pulled, Ning Xiucai walked out of the room and closed the door.
The autumn night wind blows in through the dilapidated hand window, it looks cold.
Xie Lingqin stepped down and stood in front of Ning Xiucai.
"you……"
"Keep your voice down, don't wake people up." Xie Lingqin clasped his hands behind his back, "I'm so poor that I don't have enough rice to cook, and I'm still hypocritical."
"A man, a real man, stands up to the sky and the earth, and will not be eaten by you."
Ning Xiucai speaks righteously, with his head held high and his chest held high.
Xie Lingmei sneered, "It's so good to stand up to the sky and not be eaten by you. Then let me ask you, what kind of sky do you stand on and what ground do you stand on? You stand up to the sky and let these children follow you to suffer and starve. land, so that they can’t eat enough or keep warm.”
"A man should do something and not do anything."
"Did I tell you to kill people, to sell your body, to do dirty and despicable things?"
"It's definitely not serious for you to disguise yourself as a man..."
"It's indecent for me to disguise myself as a man. Then you are wearing patchwork clothes, and you have never married a wife in your [-]s, but you have brought up so many children. Can I say that you deliberately kidnapped and imprisoned them?"
"You...I'm not..."
Ning Xiucai was too angry to speak.
"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself." Xie Lingqin stopped joking, and with serious eyes, he got into his sleeve, took out the ten taels of silver, and put it on the table beside him, "This is the prepayment for you as the accountant. Wages, don’t stand up to the sky, don’t eat or wear warm, set up a bullshit world.”
"you……"
"What are you, let's go, tomorrow I will go to the shop covered with red cloth at No. [-] East Street." After speaking, Xie Lingqin left.
Looking at Xie Lingqin's upright back, Ning Xiucai's face was stretched long, and his brows were frowned. After a long time, he looked at the ingot of silver, and then at the door.
Which family does this lady belong to?
That's right... there is some truth to it.
……
After Xie Lingqin left Ning Xiucai's house, she went straight to a small forest.
Moonlight shines through the cracks in the leaves.
Standing there alone, waiting for a long time.
The update is late, I punish myself to think about my mistakes~ Don't comfort me, Xinzhi went to face the wall~
