Brother Wanfu

Chapter 26

The banquet ended in a strange atmosphere, and Qin Tian managed to recover.

She was wondering if Uncle Zhou or Chang Zi were waiting for her at this late hour, when she suddenly heard someone asking in a low voice.

"When will you go back?"

He blinked his eyes in a daze.

What does brother mean?
She couldn't help but glance at her brother-in-law beside her.

The young man is tall and straight, even when sitting, he is much taller than her. He is full of style, and his whole body is like a jade ring around his waist, with a cool temperament.

As soon as Qin Tian saw the jade jue, he couldn't help thinking of the first time he met him on the mountain in Zhucheng.

She didn't know what brother-in-law's question meant, but she was indeed planning to go back now.

She quickly got up and saluted, "Brother, don't worry, I'll go back right away."

After finishing speaking, he also imitated Fu Wen's previous appearance, swept the bits and pieces on the table into the bag, and then left quickly.

Her feet were extremely fast, and she was wearing very inconspicuous clothes, like a rabbit submerged in a haystack, she quickly disappeared.

Qin Shen: "."

Fu Wen had just arrived behind Qin Shen, and immediately glanced at the direction the girl was leaving, and at the figure of the young master Wei Dun.

Just now, did the young master intend to send the girl back?
But that girl also ran too fast!

But Fu Wen was still a little uncertain. He had never seen the young master be patient with little girls before. There were always some girls who wanted to get close to the young master, but the young master just swept them away without stopping.

Fu Wen looked at his young master now.

The man still turned his head slightly, looking in the direction where the crowd left, and that direction was where the girl quickly disappeared.

Fu Wen wanted to take a closer look at the young master's expression, but Qin Shen stood up in the next breath.

"Go back."

Fu Wen hastily withdrew his thoughts.

He probably thought too much, the girl in Chaoyunxuan was not unusual, but she was as timid as a sesame mung bean, she didn't even dare to approach the young master like the other girls, what could the young master do to her?
Most of the people who invited Lin Di had dispersed, Fu Wen followed Qin Shen's footsteps and strode away.

It's just that Wei Miao on the other side paid attention to the situation of the brothers and sisters of the Qin family from time to time throughout the banquet. She also heard Qin Shen's words just now, pursed her lips, and thought about it for a while.

*
At the end of the night of the banquet, it began to rain heavily in the sky where the clouds were lowered.

After Qin Tian got up the next day, Uncle Zhou came over and asked her, "It's raining today, and the mountain road is slippery, girl, don't go to the academy."

Qin Tian looked at the old steward amusedly.

In the eyes of the old steward, she didn't need to start a career, and she could read this book for two days in her free time, and she would not read it if it was inconvenient.

But Qin Tian really wanted to read more books and gain more knowledge, so he shook his head with the old steward.

"Sir, if I don't go, isn't it rude? Besides, we live at the foot of the mountain, how can we not go?"

Qin Tian was afraid that it would be embarrassing for her not to go alone, but she did not expect that when she arrived at the academy on time, even ordinary female students did not come.

Shen Xiao did come, she was still sleeping on the table, Qin Tian didn't know why she was so sleepy every day.

Of course the Zhou sisters from Shanchang's family also came, but after a while, the rain became more urgent, and Qin Tian saw another person coming.

It was Wei Miao who came, her dress was wet, she frowned and asked the servant girl to find a place to change the clothes, she quickly changed into a clean dress and returned to school, walked over gracefully, and sat down again When he got to the seat in front of Qin Tian, ​​he turned his head and exchanged greetings with Qin Tian as before, as if she hadn't moved away a few days ago.

Qin Tian: "."

She vaguely knew the reason, but Wei Miao didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and she couldn't say much, but she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Wei Miao could see that she was a little cold, and after saying a few words casually, she turned around resentfully.

On the contrary, Shen Xiao who was on the side didn't change much from the beginning to the end, and Qin Tian got closer to her inexplicably.

*
The rain continued for three days without stopping. Afterwards, most of the girls in the school stopped coming, and Wei Miao naturally did not appear again.

Qin Tian naturally insisted on coming to the school every day, but there were too few people, so the gentlemen simply gave the female students a holiday and asked them to come back after the rain stopped.

But during the two days in the academy, Qin Tian heard a lot of things.

The rain in Qingzhou came later this time, unlike Yanzhou Mansion in the west and places further upstream, it has been raining for five or six days in a row.

The upper reaches are raining, and the lower reaches are suffering. This year's flood season seems to be coming early. The students are all talking about where the government should strengthen the Yellow River embankment in advance. Once the embankment bursts, there will be no good life for hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles.

But the money for building the river is not a small amount. No matter how powerful the local government is, the money in their hands is limited, and they still have to rely on the appropriation of funds from the imperial court.

But matters related to the imperial court are not something that the students of one party can discuss. Everyone can only secretly hope that the imperial court will allocate a sum of money to build water conservancy projects.

The heavy rain also affected Qin Tian.

Uncle Zhou originally found her a decent farm near the academy, and he bought it with a big sum including the house and the field.

Qin Tian was shocked, but Uncle Zhou told her not to worry, saying that the money was given by the master, and it was also through Madam Minglu, and Madam even asked if she wanted to change to a bigger one.

The change in Mrs. Qin's attitude really surprised Qin Tian, ​​but due to the rain, the renovation of the farm was suspended, and Qin Tian still lived here.

It rained for a few more days, and Yanzhou and other places did not wait for the river repair funds allocated by the imperial court. Instead, they heard about the construction of a hot spring palace in the palace.

The river had already risen to a high level, and the dikes were crumbling. The emperor in the Forbidden City was not only ignorant of the sufferings of the people, but expected to have fun.

Even the people in Qingzhou who don't have too many worries about breaking the embankment complain in private, not to mention the situation in Yanzhou to the west.

The mess is like bubbling hot water, and it seems that there is only one firewood away from boiling.

In another two days, the rain intermittently became much lighter, and Qin Tian's narrow courtyard unexpectedly had rare visitors.

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw Nanny Liu beside his wife, and he couldn't help thinking that when he was in Zhucheng, Nanny Liu led people to "copy" her home.

Qin Tian restrained his expression, but saw another person coming in behind Madam Liu, it was Xiao Yun, the eldest maid beside Madam Liu.

The two went forward hand in hand to salute Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked at the attitudes of the two of them, especially the attitude of Nanny Liu, and almost turned around half a circle.

"Girl is well." Mother Liu saluted with a smile on her old face.

Qin Tian: "."

It was Xiao Yun who spoke seriously, "Madam heard that the girl's schoolwork was over, so she asked the servants to invite the girl to go back to the residence. After all, it's not convenient to be outside."

Qin Tian had already noticed the change in Mrs. Qin's attitude, but it still surprised Qin Tian to send capable people around her to pick her up.

Qin Tian didn't want to go back, and he didn't know if he could explain to Mrs. Qin's people the same way he explained to his brother Qin Shen.

After all, she was only a concubine, so she couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the moment.

What she didn't expect was that when she was in trouble, Xiao Yun thoughtfully stepped forward to ask her.

"What's the matter, girl?"

Qin Tian said that he was living well here and was still studying in the academy. If the weather cleared up and it stopped raining, he would still go back to study.

She really didn't want to go back, and there was another reason, her mother's death day was tomorrow, if she returned to the Qin Mansion today, it would be difficult to worship her deceased mother tomorrow.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun didn't force her, but instead said, "Madam also considers the inconvenience of the girl, so let's go back to the residence for a short stay after the girl has a serious rest."

After finishing speaking, he left a cart full of things, and told Qin Tian that if there was anything missing, just ask someone to come to the mansion to look for him, and then left with Liu Mama.

Looking at the things in the hall, Qin Tian was startled for a while.

Why did Mrs. Qin change her attitude towards herself?

She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't continue to think about it. It would be great if she could get along with her aunt and brother with respect and courtesy like now.

Qin Tian asked people to pack up the things Mrs. Qin sent, and folded the gold ingots for his mother for a while. On the second day, he hoped that it would stop raining, even if it stopped for two or three hours.

At noon, the weather was beautiful and the rain stopped.

Qin Tian took the paper money and went in the direction of the almanac divination.

However, the roads everywhere were muddy due to the rain, and there was only one road where gravel was sprinkled along the road and it was still possible to move forward.

Qin Tian walked along the gravel road for a while, and found an open hill.

Mother Zeng said that in the first half of her life, she was trapped in the high wall most of the time. After death, she hoped to be able to float freely in the wind, find the person she wanted, and live the life she wanted to live.

Every year when Qin Tian pays homage to his mother, he looks for an open area with wind, and this year is no exception.

But this year, I brought Hui Fei out to pay homage to my mother. By the way, I let the stupid rabbit out. In order to prevent the rabbit from running away and disappearing, I even put a light yellow rabbit coat on it and tied a bow around the waist.

According to the local custom, Qin Tian used stones to form a circle here to burn paper.

On the hill, the wind rustled from the treetops in the forest, swirling and blowing the paper money into the air.

The dumb rabbit didn't have any thoughts, it was jumping around and grazing nearby.

The wind blows away worries, keeps thoughts and blows them away.

The mountain wind thinned down, and the paper money was burned up. I don't know how long it took, and there was a sudden roar in the sky.

"Ah!" Tiandong looked up, and quickly pulled Qin Tian, ​​"There is an eagle! Miss, go to the forest to avoid it!"

She pushed Qin Tian away quickly, and Qin Tian suddenly thought of Hui Fei.

"Fatty!" She searched around, but saw that the dull rabbit had eaten grass to the edge of the hill at some point.

Qin Tian yelled repeatedly, wanting to tell the rabbit to avoid him but it was too late.

The eagle's eyes were extremely sharp, and his claws were merciless. His wings changed and he leaned down to charge, and one of his claws directly grabbed Hui Fat's body.

The black shadow let out a cheer of success, let out a long cry, and flew towards the hilltop on the other side of the forest.

The accident happened in an instant.

When Qin Tian and Tiandong came back to their senses, the gray and fat shadows were gone.

Tian Dong touched the girl's cold hand, and quickly comforted her.

"Girl, don't be sad, girl catches this rabbit to eat, it's just because the rabbit is too thin that it was only raised for a year, and now it just got into the eagle's beak."

Tian Dong took some leftover paper money from the basket, "By the way, burn it for Hui Fei, poor rabbit."

Qin Tian: "."

It is true to say so, but after raising it for a year, Qin Tian himself is still reluctant to eat it.

She stopped Tiandong, who was really going to burn the paper, and looked in the direction of Yingfei.

"I may have seen this eagle."

"Ah? Where did you meet the girl? How can you recognize her?"

Qin Tian was not sure, but somehow felt that this jet-black eagle was very similar to the one she had met in the Qin Mansion before, hovering over the Qin Mansion.

Qin Tian didn't say much, just called Tiandong, "Let's go to the nearby villages to find out. See if there is someone raising an eagle nearby. The eagle doesn't look like it's very hungry. Maybe Fatty still has a life."

Qin Tian could only think of the best, and walked along the gravel road in the direction of Ying Fei for a while. There was a village. Qin Tian inquired, and there were people raising eagles nearby. pointed to the past.

"There is a black eagle in the courtyard of that big family's house. That should be what you are looking for."

Qin Tian made up his mind, "Whose other courtyard is that?"

Everyone in the village knows, "It's the Commander Qin's family, the other courtyard of Prince Qin."

Qin Tian was startled, and the premonition in his heart came true all of a sudden.

Suddenly, her feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she was a little afraid to go.

　I saw that many friends voted for "My Brother Wanfu", thank you so much!

　　The daily update time is at 09:30 in the evening, good night everyone.
