reborn widow

Chapter 14

Because the fields had been planted and there was no farm work at home for the time being, Gui Qingqing got up in the morning and prepared lunch for her father-in-law, and the couple went to the city together again.

Li Fuman only said that Gui Qingqing was going to accompany Chen Lan, and kept saying that he should. He is a guest from afar, and it is rude to let a guest stay in a hotel when he comes from a long distance. Carrying each other away, Qin and Se looked harmonious, and they were happy from ear to ear. It seems that they will be able to embrace their eldest grandson next year.

After Li Song sent Gui Qingqing to the inn, he hurried to the county government office, Dianmao. Last night, Qin Yanshan visited Ma County Magistrate and mentioned that Li Song was going to be an arrester at his appointment. Today, Ma County Magistrate met Li Song Guo really came, very happy, he also had a small calculation in his heart, even if Li Song couldn't solve the case, it would be worthwhile for Qin Yanshan to owe him a favor, even if Ma County Magistrate made Li Song the head of the police .

Li Song received the badge, and met several yamen servants under him. Everyone clamored to invite the new boss to drink. In fact, they were all gloating in their misfortune. He was hit by the board lightly or heavily, and now they all feel that this stupid big man is asking for trouble, and now he is the head of the police team, so he is clearly responsible for it!So no one was dissatisfied with the appointment of the county magistrate.

Li Song was able to guess a little bit of these yamen servants' careful thoughts. He originally planned to take two of his subordinates to Xiuyu Temple. After all, if he really found something, it would be better to share some of the credit, lest he monopolize it. The credit makes people envious, but seeing the hypocrisy of the people in front of him, he stopped his thoughts and exchanged a few words with them. The county magistrate ordered to find his Du Xiaopu.

Du Xiaopu knew a little about Li Song's background, and when he saw Li Song, he asked with a smile, "Congratulations to Catcher Li on his appointment today. Where are you going?"

Li Song said with a smile: "Since I have received an errand, I have to check...Are you busy now? If not, just walk with me..."

Du Xiaopu wanted to make friends with Li Song but suffered from no chance, when he saw Li Song invited him, he immediately agreed, and the two went to the inn first.

At the entrance of the inn, Qin Yanshan came out with Gui Qingqing and Chen Lan. When he saw Li Song, he smiled and said, "We were going to find you, but you just came. Let's go, I'll take you there for a while." Look around."

Li Song said with a smile: "I'm going to handle the case, and I want to invite you to go with me!" Because Qin Yanshan brought four or five servants, all of whom were good at punching and kicking, Li Song meant that if necessary, they would It can help, if there is nothing to do, just take Qin Yanshan for an outing, after all, the scenery around Xiuyu Nunnery is not bad.

Qin Yanshan said: "There is no rush to handle the case. Anyway, the case has been dragging on for these days, and I don't care about this moment! I will go with you later."

Du Xiaopu was deeply impressed by Qin Yanshan, even the county magistrate would be courteous to him, it would be difficult for him not to remember, so naturally there was nothing he should do.

Qin Yanshan asked his servants to spare two horses for Li Song and Du Xiaopu. They rode tall horses, while Chen Lan pulled Gui Qingqing into the carriage. Where are we going? Why are we still so secretive?"

Chen Lan said with a smile: "Of course you will know when you arrive! By the way, Sister Gui, there is one thing I've always wanted to ask you, just because I was afraid you would think I was abrupt."

Gui Qingqing said with a smile: "I know you have a quick temper, just ask if you have anything to say, how can I blame you?"

"Then I'll ask. I met my sister's family yesterday and felt a little strange. My sister and my sister Osmanthus were born of the same mother. Why don't you two look alike?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "Of course I look like my mother, my sister..."

Seeing that Gui Qingqing refused to continue, Chen Lan probed and said: "There are many daughters who look like their fathers, but I also saw my sister's father yesterday, no matter how I look at it, I don't think Sister Osmanthus is quite like your father... ..."

Gui Qingqing guessed that it was because Chen Lan heard some rumors and deliberately tested her. Gui Qingqing couldn't help sighing in her heart, thinking that when her sister was young, not only her father didn't like her, but her mother also hated her when she saw her. Gui Qingqing also heard rumors. She said that her mother gave birth to Osmanthus fragrans after being married to her father for more than seven months, but Gui Qingqing really couldn't tell what happened to her mother's past. Besides, her father himself never said that Osmanthus fragrans was not his own.

Gui Qingqing smiled lightly and didn't say anything. Although Chen Lan had a straight temper, she also knew that Gui Qingqing didn't want to talk, so she stopped asking. The carriage quickly stopped in front of a house, and the area was covered with black and green bricks. The tile-roofed houses do not look very eye-catching from the outside. Pines and cypresses are planted in the yard, which is already full of greenery. The house is hidden among the tall trees, which looks elegant and peaceful.

Chen Lan was used to seeing luxury houses in Fuzhuang, and she was a little disappointed when she saw this house, but because Gui Qingqing was by her side, she couldn't say anything to her cousin.

Qin Yanshan smiled and said: "Brother Li, you are very happy to be newlywed. I haven't given you any gifts yet. After thinking about it, since you have to work in the county government, it is inconvenient to go back and forth from Lijia Village to the county every day. You bought a house as a gift, and you sent someone to search for it yesterday, but there was no suitable one. So you asked the county magistrate for help, and finally got such a house. I haven’t seen it myself, but Lord Ma said yes, It should be good, let's go in and have a look..."

Li Song was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Yanshan to spend so much money. How could such a house in the county cost two or three hundred taels?
Qin Yanshan patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It is unnecessary to say polite words! There is a saying that 'respect is worse than obedience', and now is the most suitable for you."

Li Song smiled knowingly, cupped his hands and said: "If you bother me, then I will be disrespectful."

While the two were talking, the servants of the Qin family who had been sent by Qin Yanshan to clean up first came up to greet them and led everyone into the house.

Gui Qingqing and Chen Lan walked last, and suddenly heard the door of the neighbor's house ringing, Gui Qingqing glanced casually, but was stunned, the person who came out of the door was none other than Song Ziqiao's younger brother Song Zihe, Strange, why is he here?

Chen Lan entered the gate and saw that Gui Qingqing hadn't followed, so she shouted, "Sister Gui! What are you looking at?"

"No...it's nothing..." Gui Qingqing hurriedly walked a few steps and entered the door. Unexpectedly, it looked like an ordinary courtyard on the outside, but inside it was full of holes. It was very open and bright at first glance. There was a flower garden in the middle of the courtyard. At this time The peonies are in full bloom, and the courtyard is filled with a faint fragrance.

The one-foot-square bluestone pavement on the ground is occasionally outlined with simple patterns of embossed blue bricks. But I feel that there is an indescribable charm, soft and comfortable, no matter how you look at it, how comfortable it is.A group of people looked around in the yard, and Chen Lan also smiled and said, "Cousin is still very discerning."

Qin Yanshan was very satisfied looking at the house himself, and asked with a smile, "How is it? You and your wife like it? If you find it inconvenient, we can renovate it..."

Li Song quickly waved his hands, "It would be a waste of money to renovate such a good house, Qingqing and I would like to thank you very much!"

Gui Qingqing bowed her bow and thanked Qin Yanshan solemnly. When Qin Yanshan saw her, he couldn't help but sighed secretly, and even said that you don't need to be polite.

Qin Yanshan had something on his mind, and several people rushed to Xiuyu Nunnery.
