The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 53
"Sister, I have bought Mr. Zheng's medicine."

Qin Qingyue held the medicine bag and asked his sister for credit with a flattering look.

In addition to the medicine bag, he also carried a large bag of steamed buns and cakes, with several boxes of pastries from Zhangzhong Pavilion sandwiched between them, which he handed to his sister like a treasure. "After I bought the medicine, I passed by Zhangzhong Pavilion. I heard it is the most famous one in Puzhou I bought some for you from the pastry shop. It’s a long way back to Beijing, so I took them with me to satisfy my cravings on the way.”

Then Dian Dian left and went to Xikuoyuan.

Qin Ruizhi looked at the pastry box that was forced into her hand, and was speechless for a moment. She looked at Qin Qing's retreating back, and then sneered at herself, "It's ridiculous, who would be moved by a few boxes of pastries."

But she still carefully put away the pastry box and put it inside the package when she returned to her room to pack her luggage.

Later in the evening, Qin Ruizhi went to Pei's house and asked for the carriage that Pei Xingheng had prepared for her.

When I arrived at Pei's house, I found a carriage parked at the door. Pei Xingheng was standing next to the carriage, seeming to be busy with something. He almost thought it was the carriage that Pei Xingheng had prepared for himself. He was wondering how Pei Xingheng knew that she was going back to Kyoto.

Just as he was about to go up and talk, the carriage started moving slowly.

Pei Xingheng followed the carriage all the way, and then turned into a trot, holding on to the door frame of the carriage tightly, "Mr. Chai, I have to thank Mr. Chai for my father's affairs. Please take care of my father after Mr. Chai returns to Beijing. The Pei family is grateful." "

After following for a long time, Pei Xingheng gradually lost his strength and finally gave up. He watched the slow car speed away, wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked back.

When I walked to the door, I saw Qin Ruizhi standing at the door.

The weak light from the light just outside the door shone on Qin Ruizhi, quiet and peaceful.

Pei Xingheng guessed Qin Ruizhi's intention at once, "Miss, the carriage has been prepared for you for a long time, but you never come to pick it up. I almost thought you planned to live alone in Puzhou and not return to Kyoto."

Qin Ruizhi looked at the carriage going further and further away, "Did you send someone to Kyoto? Why don't you go yourself?"

The Pei family's affairs in Kyoto are currently in a difficult situation. It is impossible to get through it without spending a lot of money to survive, and it cannot be solved by just sending servants.

Although Pei Xingheng helped Mrs. Yan defraud her of 5000 taels of silver, it was considered even if she wanted 5000 taels of silver back and burned down the Pei family's shop.

Pei Xingheng didn't care about her responsibility for setting the fire, and was willing to give him a carriage to take him back to Beijing. This favor should always be remembered.

Pei Xingheng turned around and looked at it, and said with a smile: "That's the guest living in my Pei Mansion, Mr. Pei who rescued you from Whirlpool Ridge. He received a letter from home asking him to return to Kyoto."

"Then why don't you go along?" Qin Ruizhi asked.

Pei Xingheng did not hide anything, "I would like to go, but I just can't leave. The Guanglitong branch was just established in Xiangzhou, but it was closed down by the government. They also said that I was arbitrarily lending high-interest debt and taking advantage of the situation, and they wanted to hold me accountable. I If I go to Kyoto, it won't be like absconding in fear of crime. If I want to stay in Puzhou, I must at least settle the matter in Xiangzhou."

The Pei family's Guanglitong business in Puzhou has been open for many years and has never been closed down by the government. It was closed down by the government as soon as it left Puzhou. It was obvious that it was being targeted.

Qin Ruizhi would inevitably have to give a few words of advice: "Mr. Qin, for the sake of the carriage you gave me, I advise you to pack your bags as soon as possible and go to Kyoto to persuade Mr. Pei to give up Guanglitong's business, otherwise don't talk about Kyoto. Guang Litong, even the foundation of your Pei family in Puzhou may not be preserved. If you don't believe it, just listen to it as a joke. By the way, please lend me some guards, Mr. Pei, and return them to Mr. Pei in full after entering the capital."

Pei Xingheng still listened to Qin Ruizhi's words, but of course the Pei family didn't want to give up such a big business as Guanglitong, and they had to fight if they could.

As for the guards, of course you can borrow them.

His father was walking on thin ice in Kyoto, so it would be good to have more guards to protect him.So, Pei Xingheng selected [-] skilled guards from the palace guards to escort Qin Ruizhi back to Beijing.

The two made an appointment to meet at the city gate tomorrow and go to Kyoto together.

On the second day, the shady curtain has not been lifted, and there is still a hazy layer of darkness.

Qin Ruizhi got up early, her luggage had been packed away, she just needed to bring her knife and set off.

Before leaving, she went to the West Cross Courtyard again and knocked hard on the door, but still no one answered.

Last night, when she came back from Pei Mansion, she stood guard at the gate of Xikuoyuan for an hour. Gao Zhiying didn't see her, not even Aunt Qiu came out.

After waiting for a long time, even the hazy darkness was dispelled by daylight, and the door to the west courtyard was still not opened.

Qin Ruizhi didn't want to wait any longer.

In fact, she had nothing to say to Gao Zhiying.

Neither she nor the original owner had much affection for Gao Zhiying. Gao Zhiying had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and had ignored and avoided seeing her for many years.

The only tie is the unbroken blood relationship.

But "she" is Gao Zhiying's daughter after all.

She took a breath and shouted at the door: "Mom, I'm going back to Kyoto. Please take care of yourself. I'm not in Puzhou. Are there any other guards in the house? Please pay more attention to safety."

At this point, I had nothing to say. After thinking about it, I added: "If mother gets tired of staying in Puzhou, ask someone to send me a letter, and I will take her back to Beijing."

She was still greeted by an empty courtyard.

"Forget it..." Qin Ruizhi felt bored, "I really have to leave."

Qin Ruizhi turned around in despair, and not far away, the silent courtyard door suddenly opened. Qin Ruizhi suddenly turned around, with a somewhat relieved smile on her face.

Aunt Qiu held two swords in her hands and walked up to Qin Ruizhi, "This trip to Kyoto is dangerous, so you must pay more attention to safety. This is the sword of the young lady. I have been with the young lady for more than 20 years. The young lady will now give them to you. I hope I can protect you."

These were the two swords that knocked Chu Yanning off the roof that night. The two swords were of the same style, except that one was long and the other was short. The longer one was about twenty inches, and the short one was only as long as The half of the hand is long and slender.

If the sword is compared to a girl, it is a beautiful and enchanting girl.

Qin Ruizhi liked it, but didn't dare to pick her up: "Aunt Qiu, I was supposed to stay in Puzhou to take care of my mother, but I really have to go back to Kyoto to deal with important matters. I already feel bad about not being able to serve my mother, and I really don't dare to do it again. Mother's sword. What's more, there is no one in Puzhou. If you don't have a sword to protect yourself, I'm afraid you will be bullied."

Aunt Qiu smiled and said, "It's just a weapon that can be remade if it's gone. In Puzhou, your uncle's accumulated reputation is still there, and no one dares to bully us. Even if there is someone who is not short-sighted and cares about this three-acre land , it also depends on whether they have the ability to break in. We are not just good at eating fast and chanting Buddha's name."
