my bright sword career

Chapter 657 Suspicion
At dusk, the setting sun hangs high over the mountains in the west, exuding the last afterglow and heat of the day. The orange sunlight shines on the buildings of the Gao family compound, making the whole building exude a dazzling light.

The Gao family's old house is still as peaceful as ever at this moment. From time to time, there are maids and old ladies in servant clothes shuttling in the backyard, while the front yard of the Gao's old house and the surrounding buildings are all guarded by soldiers in black military uniforms. You can even see anti-aircraft guns and tanks from time to time.

The orange sunset came in through the transparent window, hitting a beautiful woman in a purple cheongsam who was sitting quietly on a chair made of mahogany and was busy with the ledger on the table.

The beauty's facial features are almost flawless, but her black eyebrows are always slightly furrowed, revealing a tired expression, and her watery eyes exude a maturity that is different from ordinary women in this era.

After careful observation, it can be seen that although the beauty has grown into a ripe peach, the years have not left any traces on her face. The skin of a twenty-eight girl is still as delicate and white as suet white jade.

Under the tall and straight nose, the lips with a light lip gloss are thin and moist, exuding a moist luster under the afterglow of squinting eyes, making people want to take a bite on it and savor it carefully. Itchy taste.

A head of gorgeous but elegant hair, draped softly behind the back, only bound by a thin black rope, thin and loose, the ponytail is very thin, only lying on the back, and a bun is tied on it , with the two bundles of shoulder-length hair hanging on both sides of the mature and charming face, revealing an intoxicating style.

"Young Mistress, here are the account books from July to September this year sent by the shopkeepers. Please have a look." Ziying walked up to Qin Xiulian with a wooden box in her arms, and gently placed the wooden box on the table beside her.

Qin Xianglian, who was sitting behind the table, finally raised her head, looked at the beautiful woman waiting beside her, frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Ziying, I have told you several times, since you are already married to the master The room, that is the person in the master's room. You can leave this kind of work to other people in the future, and you don't have to do it yourself.

Otherwise, if the master sees it and thinks that I have treated you harshly, he will blame me then. "

Ziying raised her small mouth slightly, and said aggrievedly: "But I'm bored, and the master is not at home now. The second mistress is busy taking care of the young master and young lady, and I am the only one who stays at home and has nothing to do. If I am not busy, this day It's harder to pass."

After finishing speaking, Ziying lowered her head, and twisted the corners of her clothes with both hands, with a look of aggrieved Bala, coupled with a delicate baby face, not to mention how cute it is.

It's just that her appearance couldn't fool Qin Xiulian who grew up with her. Qin Xiulian unceremoniously patted her upturned hard part, "You little girl, you should leave your appearance like this until the young master comes back." Then use it on the young master.

Didn't you see that I'm busy now, I don't have the time to mess around with you, you'd better go to the backyard to play with sister Wenqian, and help her take Pengcheng and Xiaolian along the way. "

As soon as this was mentioned, Ziying pouted even more: "Second Grandma has four or five maids to help her, so which round will I help her.

Don't think that I don't know the little thoughts of those vixen, ever since they knew that Second Grandma let her personal servant girl out to marry everyone, they have surrounded Second Grandma all day long, thinking of trying to please her, dreaming that Second Grandma would marry them Take in the personal servant girl so that she can climb onto the master's bed, and from now on fly up the branches and become a phoenix.

Dreaming of their big heads, if the master has this idea, with the master's ability, our backyard is already crowded, and it's their turn? "

At the end, Ziying raised her head, her small face was full of disdain.

"Push!"

Qin Xiulian was amused by Ziying, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch her slap-sized bun face, "Little girl, don't just talk about them, I remember that the young master was there a few days before he left. You worked hard, but I didn't see any movement from you."

As soon as this was mentioned, Ziying's originally uplifted little face couldn't help but collapsed, and she said a little dejectedly: "I... I don't know what's going on, could it be... I really don't have a baby?"

After all, Ziying's eyes turned red, and she looked like she was crying.

Since ancient times in China, there has been a saying that mothers are more expensive than children, especially in this era, if a woman has no children, not only will she be looked down upon by her husband's family, but she will also have no support when she gets old. Thinking about that feeling makes people despair.

Just as Qin Xiulian wanted to comfort her, she saw Ziying suddenly lowered her head and ran to the outside of the house, and then a burst of vomiting sounded outside.

"Hmm...could this little girl..."

Qin Xiulian was slightly startled, then she stood up and walked to the door, only to find that Ziying was squatting beside the flower bed not far away, clutching her chest as if she was suffering.

Seeing Ziying's appearance of wanting to vomit but not being able to vomit, Qin Xiulian walked quickly to her side, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her, and asked with concern: "Ziying, what's wrong with you? Have you eaten your stomach?"

Ziying raised her head and said pitifully: "Young Mistress, I don't know either. But I didn't seem to eat anything yesterday, why did I suddenly feel nauseous?"

"Could it be?" Qin Xiulian thought for a while, and wanted to send someone to invite the doctor, but she saw a servant girl walking up to her quickly, "Young Mistress, Battalion Commander Gao is outside and said he has something to see you in detail."

"Dabao? Let him in quickly."

When Qin Xiulian heard that Dabao wanted to see her, she hurriedly asked the servant girl to bring him in, and soon Dabao, who was dressed in iron gray military uniform and looked like a bear, walked into the yard quickly.

The Gao family is also a big family in Shanxi. The big family has many rules. One of them is that outsiders and males are generally not allowed to enter the backyard. However, Dabao grew up with Gao Hongming and was loyal to the Gao family. At the same time, he was also a guard camp. The battalion commander is naturally different from ordinary people.

Seeing Dabao coming in, Qin Xiulian asked, "Dabao, why are you here? Is there something important?"

"Young Mistress, there is something I want to report to you." Dabao said in a low voice, "In the past two days, the county magistrate found me and said that during this time, Xie Baoqing's group on Erlong Mountain started to make trouble again, and they have already robbed me There were several passing merchants.

County Magistrate Wang wanted to ask me to take the guard battalion out of the city to wipe out Xie Baoqing and his gang. I couldn't make up my mind, so I wanted to make an idea with you. "

"Ok?"

When Qin Xiulian heard this, she immediately became suspicious.
