Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 183
Qiu Hong shouted: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think. The fact that Sister Rong is pregnant must be kept strictly confidential. Also, keep a close eye on Gu Ziyuan. Where he went and what he did, you must keep it secret." Report to me in time."

"Yes!"

When Xing Butou exited the flower hall, he gave Qiu Hong a very puzzled look.

Qiu Hong came to the study from the flower hall, and skillfully opened the mechanism on the bookshelf to reveal a hidden compartment on the wall, and then took out a box from the hidden compartment.

There were no other valuables in the box, but some correspondence.

But for Qiu Hong, these things are enough to equal Wan Guan's family wealth.

Qiu Hong took out a specific piece of paper, dipped it in ink, picked up a pen and wrote down the events of the past few days, put it in a specific bamboo stick, closed the lid, and then called the carrier pigeon.

"The letter inside is very important, you must not get lost."

Qiu Hong tied a bamboo stick to the pigeon's leg, fed the pigeon well, and then came to the courtyard and let the pigeon fly.

He didn't turn around and go to the backyard until he couldn't see the shadow of the carrier pigeon.

"How is Ma'am today?"

"My lord, it's still the same. I fell asleep after drinking the soup." A woman over forty years old said.

"Well, Mama Nie, you grew up with Madam, you should be clear that it's for her own good not to tell her about certain things."

Mother Nie bowed.

"Yes, mother-in-law understands."

"I have a lot of things to do today, so I won't go in to see her. When she wakes up, just tell her that I have been here."

"Yes."

Mother Nie raised her head when she could no longer hear footsteps.

Her voice just now was very respectful, but looking at Qiu Hong's back now, she didn't have much respect.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the surrounding walls, then opened the door and walked into Mrs. Qiu's room.

"lady."

"he's gone?"

Mother Nie replied: "Let's go, tell this old slave not to tell you about Miss Ming."

Mrs. Qiu's name is Bi Xinyu. Although her father Bi Qingchang is not a high-ranking official, her grandfather Bi Shi'an and maternal grandfather Kou Zhun both served as prime ministers. They have students everywhere, and her grandmother's family is even more famous. Her grandmother is Song Wo's youngest daughter.The ancestors were all princesses in the Five Dynasties period, and the elder sister of my grandmother was the elder sister of the founding emperor Song Taizu.

With this layer of relationship in it, Qiu Hong will be afraid of himself and dare not force himself to death.

But the medicinal materials that were delivered every day were tampered with.

If it weren't for such a sophisticated and shrewd mother Nie by her side, she would have died in the hands of Qiu Hong long ago.

Qiu Birong was not her own daughter, but the child of Qiu Hong and his wife, but she was forcibly fostered under her name. Outsiders thought that Qiu Birong was the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, and they took her daughter's place for good.

If it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for his way of contacting the outside world being blocked by him, why would he be so aggrieved by pretending to be sick?

"The old slave saw from a distance yesterday that my lord handed over the matter of Sister Rong to a man surnamed Gu. This man was brought by Mr. Zeng."

"Master Zeng? Zeng Shengji?"

Mama Nie nodded.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Mama Nie said: "Before in the capital, Mr. Zeng and the master had a very good relationship. I thought Mr. Zeng would not believe that Mr. Zeng is that kind of person. If he told Mr. Zeng about our situation, Mr. Zeng would turn around and tell him. If the master is killed, our situation will be even more dangerous."

Bi Xinyu raised the corners of her lips sarcastically: "Is that good? It's just because of Zeng Shengji's identity at the time that we called him brothers and sisters. Qiu Hong was demoted because of his involvement in the Zeng family. I'm afraid he has hated Zeng Shengji for a long time."

"Master Zeng will not help us because of his guilt."

"No and no."

Bi Xinyu was in a better mood at the moment, and said to Mother Nie: "Compared to the time Qiu Hong and Zeng Shengji have known each other, I have known him longer. Recognize this kind of person as your brother."

After all, Bi Xinyu got out of bed and asked Mother Nie to bring the pen and ink hidden in the bedroom, and quickly wrote two lines.

Bi Xinyu's Xiaozhuan was very well written. After folding the small paper, Mother Nie took off her silver hairpin from her head, which was actually hollow inside, and then stuffed the folded small paper into it.

"Mother Nie, you must find a chance tomorrow and give this note to Zeng Shengji."

Bi Xinyu whispered to Nie's mother what to do tomorrow, and then handed over the jade pendant to Nie's mother.

"I have been carrying this jade pendant all the time. Zeng Shengji knows about it, so I will give it to him tomorrow!"

Mother Nie nodded solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, this old slave will definitely take care of it."

On the second day, Zeng Shengji came to the county government as usual, thinking about the special situation these few days, he wandered all the way from the capital to Jiangning Mansion, this time he didn't want to leave Wangjia Village, but by accident, he followed Gu Qingjue up.

They didn't go to the city for a rest for three days in a row. As soon as they entered Mingguang County, they met old friends.

Doesn't this prove that God has eyes and let them meet?
Today, he came here to ask why Qiu Hong was relegated from Zuo Jianyi, an official of the fourth rank, to Mingguang County, a small seventh-rank county magistrate.

However, when he came to the county government office this time, he was told that there was a murder case in Shiba Town, his subordinate, and the county magistrate Qiu went to check the scene himself.

This made Zeng Shengji sigh again.

He remembered that when he was in Kyoto, when he and Zuo Mao, the right admonishment doctor, were in charge of the admonishment court, they were upright, unafraid of the powerful, and outspoken. Now even if they live in a small county, they still do everything by themselves.

He is really a good official of Song Dynasty.

"Okay, then tell magistrate Qiu that I will come to see him tomorrow."

The guard on duty nodded and went to the front to guard. After the guard left, Mama Nie walked over from the small courtyard on the side, looked around, quickly pulled out the hairpin on her head, and took out yesterday's hairpin from the hairpin. The note that was put in was stuffed into Zeng Shengji's hand, and he said in a low voice: "Master Zeng, my wife Bi Xinyu, please save her, please keep silent."

Zeng Shengji looked at Mama Nie who came and went in a hurry, and his heart was full of doubts.

He knew Mama Nie.

Bi Xinyu is even more familiar, almost a younger sister who grew up together.

When she married Qiu Hong, she was not yet familiar with Qiu Hong.

But he heard that Qiu Hong had a very good character, so he was happy for her, so that he and Qiu Hong didn't know each other during a court dispute, and they became friends, and he was even more happy that Bi Xinyu could find a good husband.

But at this time, she sent her mother beside her to ask for help.

What the hell is going on here?

Zeng Shengji was able to escape from the capital because he was a bit scheming. He quietly hid the note and jade pendant in his sleeves, pretended to be nonchalant, and left the county government office.
