Missy, she always does not seek to make progress 2

Chapter 146
As night falls, all the houses are lit up. Located on the edge of the Lijiang River, one of the three-entry houses is brightly lit, but the people inside are lonely.

"Long Sky, are you sure you want to live here?" Qi Qian looked at the man who was almost integrated into the night and asked, "Although the environment here is quiet, it's a bit small after all."

Yu Changkong didn't look back, and said: "It's just a place to stay temporarily, and I don't like too many people around me to follow and wait on me. A small courtyard is enough."

"But……"

"Besides, I'm a blind cripple, so it doesn't matter where I live?" Yu Changkong's voice was shallow and cold.

Qi Qian choked, and said: "If you don't ask the master, you will definitely cure your eye disease."

Yu Changkong didn't answer the call, as if he didn't have much expectation.

"Anyway, I'm too lazy to live in the other courtyard prepared by Yu's family, so I'll stay here with you, and I will go to Qingping Temple with you tomorrow." Qi Qian said.

Yu Changkong finally turned his head, his eyelids twitched slightly, lowered his eyelids, and said: "Are you sure you are here for business?"

It means, why are you so free, and you still have to accompany him to the Taoist temple to seek medical treatment.

Qi Qian's face became hot, and he said: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Yu Changkong stopped talking.

At that time, Qi Qian was called away by Ying Bei.

Sifang took out a cloak, put it on Yuchangkong, and said, "My lord, it's windy, why don't you go inside?"

Yu Changkong said: "Will the sound of silk and bamboo outside linger all night?"

Sifang followed his line of sight, and there was no sound of silk and bamboo, so he said: "There are two boats in front, it should be quite late, but the young master is too noisy? Shall I ask Uncle Qian to find another house?"

"No need, it's good not to leave, otherwise this long night will be long and I don't know how to get through it."

"Young master..." Sifang felt a little sad.

Yu Changkong turned around and entered the room, saying: "Besides, I don't think I'll be here for long."

Sifang was heartbroken and followed.

……

Qi Qian was listening to Fire Wolf's report of the information obtained from the investigation.

"...It's also a coincidence that when we entered the city, the Qin family clashed with the Zhao family."

"The Zhao family?" Qi Qian paused while serving tea.

"It's Licheng Tongzhi Zhao Ping. He is the cousin of the third grandma of the Meng family. This Zhao family can be regarded as a member of the Meng family. If you want to talk about today's matter, it is the Zhao family who was unreasonable first." very disdainful.

"How to say?"

"When entering the city today, Mrs. Qin, Qin Bohong's first wife, heard that she and Mrs. Qin went to the Wuxiang Temple to worship Buddha and returned to the city. They also lined up to enter the city normally. The Zhao family's carriage bumped into it. The Zhao family's carriage It's not the Zhao family, but Zhao Tongzhi's sister-in-law Zheng, who is here to visit Mrs. Zhao."

"The little Zheng is arrogant and domineering. He also learned the identities of Mrs. Qin and the others from the servants of the Zhao family. Even if Mrs. Qin backed down, she still insisted on kowtow to admit their mistakes."

Hearing this, Qi Qian showed disgust on his face, and said: "Dogs rely on people's power. Zhao Tongzhi is just the cousin of Meng's third grandma. He is related to Meng's family, and even his in-laws and family members have become arrogant. This family is really one person who has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven."

"Yeah, everyone in the world is like red and white, but a sister-in-law of Zhao Tongzhi can bully people like this. If it is another party member with a bigger official, I don't know how prestigious it is." Fire Wolf also sighed.

How old is Zhao Tongzhi, an official who is only fifth grade, and his sister-in-law can rely on him to bully and bully him, so what about other higher-ranking officials?
Qi Qian pointed at the pattern on the teacup, thinking that this was probably just the tip of the iceberg, the imperial concubine Meng was favored, and even the Meng family became more and more prosperous, and his faction might be the same.

Disgusted in his heart, Qi Qian took a sip of tea. Although he despised the Montessori school for courting favors with women, he did not dare to say that the Holy One was stupid.

"What about the Qin family?"

"Since the Qin family returned to Licheng, they have been staying behind closed doors. They are very low-key. Today is the first time they have gone out of the city to worship Buddha, but unexpectedly they met the Zhao family faction that did not agree with the Qin family. The Qin family offended the Zhao family. The old, weak, women and children in the house, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Licheng in the future." Fire Wolf replied: "Besides, the Qin family seems to want to visit Mrs. Ding, and it happens to be the time when we met the Ding family at the inn before the Spring Festival. .”

Qi Qian immediately understood that the Ding family was probably avoiding it on purpose, otherwise the old lady would go to the state capital to celebrate the Spring Festival at that time, fearing that she would be hated by the Meng family for being associated with the Qin family.

The wall is falling down and people are pushing it, and the world is cold.

"The Qin family's property has been confiscated, and now this old house is full of women, old and weak. What do they do for a living?" Qi Qian asked again.

Huo Lang said: "Although the Qin family raided the house suddenly, not everyone can avoid it. When they leave Beijing, there will always be someone who helps them in private, but life is more difficult. Huoying and the others found the Qin family I bought some fertile land in the next county and put it under the name of the old house manager. In addition, the aunt of the Qin family who was abandoned by the Song family also found a job in the restaurant, and most of the women in the family made needlework for money."

Qi Qian said: "Except for the exiled males, who else is there in the Qin family?"

"The eldest son, Qin Bohong, has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son just turned twelve and was exiled, but the eldest daughter..." Huo Lang paused.

Qi Qian looked over: "What's wrong?"

Something flashed through Huo Lang's mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it, so he shook his head and said, "The eldest daughter of the house is a little strange. I heard that she was fostered in the old house because of poor health since she was a child. Before the Qin family came back, She herself lived with the servants in the old house, lived in seclusion, never returned to Beijing, and rarely appeared in front of people."

"Alone?" Qi Qian also felt a little weird.

Huo Lang nodded: "Huo Ying didn't find anything, I only know that the Qin family has a daughter who is fostered in the old house, and her health and horoscope are not very good."

Qi Qian sneered: "Then the Qin family is too cruel. They left a little girl in the old house to live, and they said to take care of their health. Are they pushing her to die?"

"After all, it's a matter of inner chambers, and Huo Ying didn't delve into it. In fact, it's not unusual, and it's not like there are similar things in other aristocratic families. The girl of the Qin family seems to be a concubine. If she doesn't have a physical problem, then she is It looks like it has no salt or has some flaws, but it's also thanks to the fact that it was sent at a young age, if it is a half-grown girl, it will be even more criticized and circulated." Huo Lang sighed.

Master Buqiu touched a handsome face and poohed. Lameness is a disease that can be cured.

Qi Qian was silent and understood what he meant, it was nothing more than saying that if a half-grown girl was sent away, something bad might happen to her and her reputation would be damaged.

The eyes of the world are terrible. A well-regulated family pays more attention to a woman's reputation.

An idea flashed in Qi Qian's mind, and he asked, "Then what is the boudoir name of Qin Bohong's eldest daughter?"
