Step on a branch

Chapter 69
As soon as a word came out of his mouth, the anger in his heart also burst out.

Madam Hou covered her chest, cursed a few words, and did not continue.

Why are you scolding?

If yelling is useful, there must be a few loyal and bloody veterans who rushed into the imperial study and yelled at the emperor to wake him up.

But, it's useless!
Didn't you see that Taifu Xu came out of the imperial study more and more times?
As an auxiliary minister and emperor's teacher, even he couldn't scold the emperor.

Madam Hou looked at Qin Yin, and sighed: "Wait for you, Taifu, Taishi and other old men to kick their legs, who can argue with the emperor?"

Qin Yin shook his head.

It was Taifu Xu who argued with reason, and Taishi Huang who persuaded him tactfully. He, Qin Yin, is just an old man with a bad temper.

"If it was back then..." Mrs. Hou's words came to her lips, knowing that she was wrong, she swallowed again, "Forget it, let's not mention the old things."

For an old couple, Marquis Yongning guessed what his wife would say, and patted the back of her hand as a comfort.

Mrs. Hou calmed down her temper a little, sent someone to invite Qin Luan, and said to Qin Yin: "Just treat us as unlucky."

Qin Yin said, "Ma'am, it's hard work", and got up to go around the garden.

Not long after, Mrs. Hou came to Qin Luan.

"The emperor is picky," Madam Hou said bluntly, "you should not go out these days."

Qin Luan was startled when he heard this.

Madam Hou said again: "Your grandfather said that in the imperial study, you should give him face, otherwise there is no place for his old face.

Did you hide yourself without seeing him?
Let the kitchen cook what you want to eat, let the people below buy what you want to buy.

You just rest in the house for a few days, and it's all about resting your mind, and you will have strength after you have nourished yourself. "

Qin Luan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

She didn't really care whether she went out or not, but it was her grandmother who was angry.

Don't look at her old man pretending to be indifferent, in fact, the top of her head is about to smoke.

"Shall I send you some talisman papers for peace of mind?" Qin Luan asked.

Mrs. Hou gave her an angry look.

When I was young, I watched the jokes of the old people.

I really don't respect the old and love the young!
"I hope you put the talisman of discerning loyalty and traitor on the emperor's forehead!" Mrs. Hou said.

Qin Luan was overjoyed, and smiled all the way back to the East Garden.

In the second room, Ji Shi also got the letter.

"Go back and tell the old lady," said Ji and the servant girl who came to pass the message, "the kitchen knows the taste of the eldest girl, and they will pay attention to the selection of ingredients for the side dishes. Whatever is lacking in daily life, they will be provided."

After the maid left, Ji explained to Wang Nanny again.

Turning around, seeing Qin Zhi crossing his arms and looking pensive, Ji's brows twitched.

This is a great opportunity!

With the truth supplemented by examples, she did not believe that Qin Zhi's father and daughter would not listen.

"Hmm!" Ji cleared his throat, and sat down beside Qin Zhi, "If that stinky Taoist priest succeeds, the eldest son will be accused of robbing the daughters of the people, and there is an example of Fuguo Gongfu in the first place. I’m afraid when I think about it! If the Eldest Young Master is captured and exiled, the reputation of our Yongninghou Mansion will be rotten. The old lady is so good-looking, how can I stand it? When the time comes..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhi raised his head: "The Chiyiwei will investigate clearly."

"It's all about fighting," Ji said, "No matter how capable the Chi Yiwei is, how can he be a Taoist priest?"

Qin Zhi thought for a while and said, "Isn't there A Luan?"

"Eldest lady is very capable," Ji said with the foreshadowing in place, "but this is a disaster without reason! Eldest girl's fate is shallow, so I am worried that the eldest son is in danger today because the family members and eldest girl got too close."

Qin Zhi was stunned.

Ji said again: "That's why I keep saying, sir, don't always think about having a birth share with the eldest girl, for the sake of the family, let's have a birth share for the time being."

Qin Zhi fell into deep thought

On the side, Qin Yuan disagreed and opened her mouth to speak.

"Shut up, little ancestor!" Ji stared at her hurriedly, "The eldest girl has no engagement now, and she will not rush out of the cabinet when she is 16 years old. You have plenty of time to be affectionate with her sisters. It won't be long at all, you Just bear with it, when the day comes, even if you live in the East Garden every day, sleeping in the same bed with the eldest girl, no one will talk about you."

Qin Yuan pursed her lips and pointed to her heart: "Mom, first put away the talisman paper drawn by eldest sister?"

Ji Shi covered it up.

What words!

Can these two things be the same?
Qin Yuan made a face.

The next day.

Qin Feng will be on duty at the Military Governor's Mansion in the future.

Things outside the chess club naturally spread to the ears of colleagues, some were curious and some were concerned.

Qin Feng didn't want to talk too much, but only revealed a letter: his sister was grounded.

Since the emperor wants to punish, let him have a look.

The news was like wind, and the Chiyiwei Yamen, who had the most control over the situation, of course also knew about it.

There was no one else in the house.

"Master," Fang Tian said in a low voice, "The thing Miss Qin looked at the longest yesterday was a pen stand, which was already wrapped up in the shop, but Miss Qin's feet are restrained, how can I give this gift? When she gets out of the restraint ?"

Lin Fan fell into thought.

Foot confinement is forbidden for the emperor to see, and you must not go out during the period.

It's just that I don't know how long the ban will last. If it takes ten days, half a month, or even longer, it will be the twelfth lunar month.

Is it a thank you gift or an annual gift?
"Have someone fetch it," Lin Fan confessed, "I'll send it to her."

Fang Tian didn't think about it, and followed suit.

It wasn't until halfway through the second watch, when their master was standing under the wall of the Yongning Hou Mansion in black, that Fang Tian suddenly understood what it meant to "send it to her".

"This, this is not good, right?" Fang Tian hurriedly persuaded, "Miss Qin is a girl!"

Lin Fan paraphrased Feng Jing's words: "She cultivates Taoism, which is different."

Fang Tian said "ah".

Lin Fan asked, "What's the difference between the courtyard of the Hou Mansion and the dilapidated house in Xisi Hutong?"

"There seems to be no difference." Fang Tian replied.

Lin Fan asked again: "Do you not trust my character?"

Fang Tian shook his head like a rattle.

How can it be!

Their Duke is a well-known good-natured and good-natured young man.

Lin Fan smiled lightly: "Is it all right?"

As soon as the words fell, before Fang Tian could react, Lin Fan had already leaped into the air, passed the wall lightly, and disappeared.

Fang Tian: ...

Fine.

There is no one else here.

It's so dark, and their father is also wearing black.

He didn't even see it clearly, and no one would definitely notice.

Let him go now.

It would be a bad thing if someone came over and faced him face to face.

Inside the courtyard wall, Lin Fan looked at the light that was close at hand.

As Qin Luan said, her yard is just under the wall.

In the room, Qin Luan saw that the paralyzed Fu Ling sat up, so he got up and walked out.

She still didn't hold up the lamp.

Qian'er followed him out without any fuss.

Before he got closer, he saw a shadowy figure.

Qian'er was startled, and instinctively stood in front of Qin Luan.

Qin Luan took a closer look and asked in surprise, "Mr. Dingguo?"

Lin Fan coughed lightly: "I heard that Miss Qin was grounded, so I brought some snacks."

Qin Luan looked at the food box in Lin Fan's hand and said, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

Qian'er's eyes widened.

Hospitality, the girl is right.

But in the evening, drink tea?

Qian'er tilted her head and thought about it.

The Duke invited them to have some porridge in the middle of the night, and the girl invited the Duke to eat steamed stuffed buns, so drinking a cup of tea now seems, indeed, there is no problem.

　See you guys tomorrow.
