Chapter 60 060. Brothers and sisters, cousins ​​(one more)
The maid opened the curtain, "Old Majesty, the Second Young Master is here."

When Nian Jincheng entered the door, he saw his grandmother, Qiu Shi, teasing a colorful parrot with a smile on her face, and next to his elder brother, Nian Jinxing, the eldest son of the Nian family.

Ancestral kindness and grandson filial piety, happy and harmonious.

Nian Jincheng saluted respectfully and called his grandmother and elder brother, but no one seemed to hear him.

Sunlight came in through the carved window lattice, and the room was lit with high-quality silver filigree charcoal, bright and warm, but Nian Jincheng stood halfway in the shadows, like a superfluous one.

Mammy whispered a few words into Qiu Shi's ear, and then Qiu Shi divided her attention from her precious grandson and parrot to Nian Jincheng.

Only three points, the eyes looking at Nian Jincheng were all slanted, and he didn't care. When he opened his mouth, he said in a lazy voice, "You are always busy, why do you have time to come and see me, old lady?"

Mammy pursed her lips.Of the grandchildren, only Nian Jincheng was the busiest, and no matter how busy he was, as long as he was in the capital, he would come to pay his respects every day, but eight times out of ten, Mrs. Qiu didn't let him in.

In the eyes of outsiders, the celebrity in front of the emperor, the pride of the Nian family, the second son of the Nian with a bright future, has not been liked by his elders since he was a child, no matter how hard he works, no matter how outstanding he is.These, even the servants in the family can see it.

"Grandmother, grandson has been ordered by the emperor, and today he is leaving for Bei'an County to guard the mine." Nian Jincheng carefully repeated what he said just now.

Qiu Shi laughed when she heard the words, "Okay, good thing, go, don't forget about home."

"Grandmother, take care of yourself, I'm going." Nian Jincheng turned around after saying that, went outside, turned back before the curtain fell, and saw the eldest brother who had never liked him and Mrs. Qiu talking affectionately together what.

As soon as Nian Jincheng reached the gate of his father Nian Jitang's courtyard, he was stopped.

"Second Young Master, the master is busy, and he has ordered not to see anyone." The guard said with a straight face.

But Nian Jincheng has already seen Nian Jitang.

The window was open, and Nian Jitang, who was in his 40s, was half-dressed, holding a concubine with a winking eye in his arms, with red sleeves to add fragrance, and he was happy and happy.

Nian Jitang looked up, he seemed to see Nian Jincheng, but he didn't seem to see him, he lowered his head and said something, the little concubine laughed wildly.

Nian Jincheng withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly, "When father finishes his work, please tell him that I was ordered by the emperor to leave Beijing to guard the mine in Bei'an County, and I may not be back for a long time."

The guard was stunned for a moment, "Should I go in and report such a big matter? Maybe the master..."

Nian Jincheng turned around, "No need. It's nothing important."

His business had never mattered to his father.

Last year he won the champion of martial arts, and outsiders praised him, but he heard Nian Jitang tell his colleagues that it was a pity that it was not the eldest son Nian Jinxing who won the champion of martial arts, otherwise he would have to go to the ancestral hall to burn incense.

The Qiu family and Nian Jitang both mentioned that Nian Jincheng was asked to resign from his post in the army, and Nian Jincheng was promoted to the top.

They said that this is called seniority.

Just because he was a concubine, there was a thunderstorm on the day of his birth, and the fortune teller said it was an ominous omen.There may be other reasons, but no one has ever told Nian Jincheng.

He returned to his residence, unpacked the packed luggage, tied it up again, saw the wine jar that had been on the table for a long time, poured himself a glass of wine, stood by the window, looked at the rockery in the courtyard, and took a sip finish drinking.

The attendant Nian Li ran in, "My lord, Prince Beijing and Miss Qin are here!"

Nian Jincheng was surprised to see Qin Yujin pushing Xing Yusheng's wheelchair into the door.

……

A shocking news spread in the capital early in the morning.

Three years ago, the veteran Wu Yun who invited him to Bei'an County to guard the iron mines, and his youngest son Wu Huai'an, who was injured and disabled on the battlefield, secretly kidnapped and killed several girls in Bei'an County!
Duanmu Chen, the fourth prince who was ordered by the emperor to go to Bei'an County to investigate the case, solved the biggest unsolved case in Bei'an County.

And three years ago, as the Wu family and their son left Beijing, they had a marriage contract with Wu Huai'an. After retiring the marriage, the bones of the fifth lady of the Mei family who disappeared mysteriously were also in the garden of Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an's residence in Bei'an County. found in!

Mei Shilang entered the palace early in the morning and came out with red eyes.

And the Wu family's family in the capital was imprisoned.

When they learned of the heinous behavior of Wu Yun and Wu Huaian's father and son, the people were shocked and spurned them.

The general who once came back from the victory covered with glory is so vicious and shameless behind his back, causing countless harms and sending chills down the spine.

At the same time, the news that the emperor had sent Nian Jincheng to replace Wu Yun did not attract much attention.

But some people have noticed, such as Xing Yusheng.

……

This was Xing Yusheng's first visit to another house after he came to the capital, but it was not the first time he saw Nian Jincheng.

Last month at the Qin Mansion Poetry Conference, Nian Jincheng went to find Xing Yusheng. The two played a game of chess and said something unknown to outsiders, which was not pleasant.

Qin Yujin dressed up carefully, and when she saw Nian Jincheng came out, she explained with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you. My cousin learned that General Nian is going to Bei'an County, and I want to ask General Tuo Nian for help with something."

"Is there anything Nian can do for Mr. Xing?" Nian Jincheng said calmly.

Xing Yusheng's face was pale, with a cloth bag on his knees, and his hands on it, "There is a Qiuming Mountain Villa in Bei'an County, which is my family's other courtyard. Before coming to Beijing, my grandmother and I lived there for a while. I met in Bei'an County I found a friend and learned that General Nian was going there, so I wanted to ask General Nian to help bring some books to her."

Qin Yujin chuckled, "My cousin never mentioned such a friend before. I was curious about what kind of person he was, so my cousin kept it in mind, and even asked for a book from my grandfather's collection to give to him."

"Okay." Nian Jincheng took the book from Xing Yusheng, "Where does Xing Shizi's friend live? What's his name?"

"She lives in Sujia Village, Feiyan Town, Bei'an County." Xing Yusheng said.

Nian Jincheng's fingers holding the book suddenly tightened.

But the next moment, the name that Xing Yusheng said was different from what Nian Jincheng had in mind...

"Su Liang?" Qin Yujin was curious, "My cousin's friend's name is very special."

"It's a woman, General Nian, don't make a mistake." Xing Yusheng said.

Qin Yujin was surprised, "Woman? Could it be my cousin's confidante?"

Xing Yusheng tilted his head slightly, frowned and said, "It's just a friend, cousin, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh." Qin Yujin was very kind to Xing Yusheng, and smiled when she heard this, "I misunderstood."

"General Nian?" Xing Yusheng noticed that Nian Jincheng was distracted, "I heard that you have been to Sujia Village?"

Nian Jincheng nodded, "The last time I was on a business trip, I passed by there."

Xing Yusheng knew that when Nian Jincheng passed by Sujia Village that time, he was ordered to track down Gu Ling's whereabouts.

But it has nothing to do with today's affairs.

Qi Yan, who was going to deliver medical books to Su Liang, had not yet returned to Beijing. When Xing Yusheng heard that Nian Jincheng was going, he happened to beg for some medical and poison classics from Mr. Qin and planned to give them to Su Liang, so he asked Nian Jincheng to bring them along with him. past.

"I wonder if Mr. Xing has anything to say to that girl from Suliang?" Nian Jincheng mentioned the name, and a thin and timid girl in a wedding dress with heavy makeup on her face appeared in her mind.

He had indeed been to Sujia Village, met Su Liang, and talked to her.

At this moment, Nian Jincheng really couldn't understand, how could that girl be Xing Yusheng's friend?Although he knew that Su Liang grew up in the capital, but that meeting did not leave a good impression on him.

But Nian Jincheng and Xing Yusheng were not friends, so although he was puzzled, he didn't want to ask more questions.

Xing Yusheng shook his head, "It's enough for General Nian to help bring the book, nothing else."

Qin Yujin took off an exquisite embroidered sachet from her waist, "Cousin, I really want to know that Miss Su, can I give this to her? I made it myself."

Xing Yusheng took a look, "It's up to you."

Qin Yujin wrapped the sachet in a handkerchief and handed it to Nian Jincheng.

Nian Jincheng took it and put it in the cloth bag given by Xing Yusheng, "Nian must bring it."

"There is General Lao Nian." Qin Yujin blushed slightly.

"Farewell." After Xing Yusheng finished speaking, Qin Yujin pushed him away.

Nian Jincheng went back to his room, opened the cloth bag and looked through it. Inside were three ancient books, two medical books, and one poison classic.

Nian Jincheng looked puzzled, put the cloth bag in his luggage, and set off with his entourage.

He went to Bei'an County to guard the mine, the soldiers were there, and only the master and the servant traveled lightly.

I don't know when I will be back from this trip, so Nian Jincheng rode out and looked back, but no one from Nian's family came out to see him off.

"Young master, let's go, we still have to hurry. If we go late, the fourth prince might be dissatisfied." Nian Li sighed.

As soon as Nian Jincheng raised his whip, he heard Nian Ruxue's voice, "Second brother, wait!"

Nian Jincheng turned his horse's head and saw Nian Ruxue running out with her skirt in hand.

"Second brother, take care on the road."

"Ah."

"When you get there, beware of the Fourth Prince framing you."

"Will not."

"Go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Everything is in accordance with the emperor's orders."

"This is the dim sum I made, Second Brother, take it with you on the way to eat."

"Okay. Fourth sister practice martial arts well, and I will test you when I come back."

"I will!"

Nian Jincheng took the snack from Nian Ruxue, got on the horse again, and waved to her, "Go back! Don't worry about me!"

Nian Ruxue smiled sweetly, "Second brother, take care!"

After walking a long distance, Nian Jincheng looked back, and could still see Nian Ruxue standing at the door.Feeling warm in his heart, he rode his horse towards the gate of the city.

When Nian Ruxue went to Qiu's place, Nian Jinxing was still there.

"The second child is gone?" Nian Jinxing asked lazily.

"Let's go." Nian Ruxue sat beside Qiu Shi and beat her leg naturally.

"Finally, I don't have to see that annoying face every day!" Nian Jinxing snorted coldly.

Nian Ruxue frowned, "Brother, you have to do something to save face. Second brother, if you treat him well, he will definitely repay you."

Nian Jinxing sneered, "That's why you rush to him every day?"

Nian Ruxue didn't refute, "If the second brother does something good in the future, it will be good for us."

"That's good for you. I'm the eldest son of the Nian family, but I've been compared to nothing by a bastard from a concubine, and I've lost all face!" Nian Jinxing's face suddenly darkened.

"Brother, everyone wins, everyone loses..." Nian Ruxue sighed.

Nian Jinxing played with the agate beads in his hand, and said with a sneer, "It's just a champion in martial arts, and he has never fought a battle. When will the glory of the Nian family depend on him? Is he the seed of the Nian family, or is it two? Woolen cloth!"

Qiu's complexion sank, "All right, don't talk nonsense!"

Nian Jinxing realized that what he just said was mocking his father, and slapped himself in the face, "I was wrong, grandma, don't be angry, it's my fault if you get angry. Get out of the way, Xueer, I'll beat grandma leg."

Qiu smiled and nodded Nian Jinxing's forehead, "How old is he, so poor. Your aunt sent a message from the palace to ask you to pay attention to your words and deeds outside, so that she can praise you to the emperor and give you peace of mind. Find an important position in the army."

Nian Jinxing stood up abruptly, bowed his hands solemnly and said, "Design!"

Qiu Shi smiled and bent over, and fell on Nian Ruxue's body.

……

But it said that after Xing Yusheng and Qin Yujin left Nian's house, they went back to Qin's mansion by car.

Qin Yujin smiled and said, "I don't know if Miss Su will like the sachet I gave you."

Xing Yusheng said lightly, "Cousin doesn't want to be drunk, she doesn't want to make friends with me, she clearly wants someone in Nian to take your things with her."

Qin Yujin blushed, "Cousin, don't talk nonsense!"

"Could it be that my cousin insisted on accompanying me home last year because she thought Ah Jun was unreliable?"

"Cousin and that Su Liang girl have an unusual relationship, right?"

"You think too much, she is already married as a woman."

"Cousin, you actually donate books to married women thousands of miles away? What's your intention?"

"Books are just for reading. It's best to give them to friends. It's not like a sachet, which should be carried with you."

"I told you it was for Miss Su!"

"Oh, I also gave it to Miss Su."

"coincidence."

"It's a coincidence."

Hearing Qin Yujin's laughter coming from the car, Qi Jun who was driving the car looked at the sky speechlessly.

Although the cousins ​​Xing Yusheng and Qin Yujin seldom met before, they have a good relationship. Today's first "argument" is also strange.

"How did my cousin meet that Miss Su?" Qin Yujin was curious.

Xing Yusheng thought for a while and said, "Her family has a pear tree, and the pears are delicious."

Qin Yujin froze for a moment, "And then?"

Xing Yusheng changed the subject without warning, "Do you think Nian Jincheng will stay in Bei'an County?"

Qin Yujin thought for a while and said, "No way."

"That's not necessarily the case." Xing Yusheng said.

Qin Yujin came to her senses, "Cousin, haven't you told me how you met Miss Su?"

Xing Yusheng sighed slightly, "She is a doctor. At that time, I was seriously ill, and she rescued me. So she is not only my friend, but also my savior."

Qin Yujin looked straight, "So that's the case, no wonder my cousin gave her medical books. My cousin should have told me earlier, so that I can prepare more serious gifts for Miss Su."

Qi Jun said outside, "Miss Su's cooking is delicious. I have eaten buns made by her."

Xing Yusheng snorted softly, "A Jun, your monthly money for this month is gone."

Qi Jun raised his forehead, "Master, that bun was given to me by Miss Su."

"The monthly money for next month is gone." Xing Yusheng said.

Qin Yujin couldn't help laughing, "Ah Jun is too miserable. But even he has eaten the buns made by Miss Su, but my cousin and I haven't. It's a pity. The buns are so delicious, what's so important about monthly money? A Jun, you What do you say?"

Qi Jun said weakly, "Miss Qin, stop teasing your subordinates, monthly money is very important, and I haven't married a wife yet!"

"My cousin can't even marry a wife, why are you in a hurry?" Qin Yujin laughed and teased Xing Yusheng again.

Xing Yusheng snorted softly, "That's right, no one wants to marry me as a sick child. But I think that in the coming year, General Jincheng will be a talented man with many admirers, so it will not be difficult to marry a wife."

Qi Jun thought, summing up today's bickering between Xing Yusheng and Qin Yujin's siblings in one sentence, that is: "Come on, let's hurt each other"...

But Qi Jun thinks that Qin Yujin is very good, and Xing Yusheng is much more cheerful when he has this younger sister.
