Chapter 140

"Go burn a burner of incense and put it in the open room." Seeing that Jinxiu was busy with her hands and feet, Qin Su smiled and ordered.

Jinxiu then went to the incense box at the side to get the fragrant cakes, and only then held the fragrant cakes in her hand, she suddenly seemed to think of something, she rolled her flexible eyes and said softly: "Madam, you know, Dong Xuan Why is the pavilion sealed up?"

Qin Su picked up the pen and ink, carefully traced the manuscript on the paper, and said in a rambling voice: "Didn't my mother just say that it needs to be renovated?" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes slightly, Glanced in the direction of Mingjian.

Feng Yu was sitting on the small twig in front of the door doing needlework, and it seemed that she could hear the conversation between Dongci.

"I thought so too at the beginning." Jinxiu said softly, with a smile in her voice, "Actually not, I heard from Ah Qiu that those craftsmen came to fill the well."

Fill the well?

Qin Su's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and made another mistake, and a twig escaped from the sparse leaves and flowers on the paper.

"Miss, don't you remember? There used to be a dry well near the gate leading to the main courtyard from our courtyard where the morning lamp was lit." Seeing that Qin Su didn't speak, Jinxiu reminded her.

Qin Su frowned lightly.

How could she not remember the well?
That was where she inferred that the strange woman was hiding. She originally planned to go to investigate some other day, but she didn't want to, the well was just filled in like this.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is this another form of "silencing" in disguise?
If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter...

Qin Su narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the delicate flower branches on the painting.

It seems that the energy of that weird woman is not small.

From what Qin Su saw that night, although this woman acted boldly, she was not lacking in caution, that is to say, no matter what her status was, she would not openly speak to Mrs. Wu to fill in the well.

This matter must have been proposed by someone else on her behalf. As for the person who suggested it, he either obeyed her orders or provoked her with words.

Countless thoughts were turning in her mind, but Qin Su's eyes were still focused on the painting. After a long while, she gave a soft "hmm", and the writing was very smooth, and the casual voice followed the strokes of the pen, flowing out: "It turns out It was the well, I remember."

Jinxiu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That's right there. It is said that the well's feng shui is not very good, so the old lady took the lead and filled it up."

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Wu's order.

But, how did Feng Shui Kanyu get involved?Could it be that this matter is not limited to the inner house, but someone from the main courtyard intervened?That weird woman actually has such strong support?What is the relationship between this person and the person who secretly monitored Qin Su?
"Grandmother is so knowledgeable, she knows so much." Qin Su's mind was flying, but she stopped the paintbrush in her hand, and said with admiration, "I didn't expect that grandma even knows Feng Shui, she is really a model of a gentleman. "There was a lot of reverence in her tone, and she turned her eyes to look at Feng Yu who was still doing needlework.

No matter where this compliment is spread, it will never go wrong.

"No..." Jinxiu opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly realized that the words were not easy to talk about, so she stopped abruptly, and after a while, she said cautiously: "...The old lady naturally knows a lot, so she just said He listened to the Feng Shui master and filled the well."

"Feng Shui Warlock?" Qin Su's face was a bit puzzled, and he turned his head to look at Jin Xiu: "Where does this character come from?"

Hearing this, Jin Xiu became a little complacent again, and said with a smile: "Young lady doesn't know something, if you build a house, you always have to invite a Feng Shui master to look at it first. Isn't there an ethnology in our mansion now? When Mr. Feng Shui was looking at the direction of the ethnology, he said that the well blocked the momentum of the ethnology, which was bad luck, and it was necessary to fill it up, so that the Qin family's ethnology could flourish."

It was actually proposed by the people in the main courtyard, and a Feng Shui magician came out?
The weird woman's hand stretched quite long.

"So that's how it is." Qin Su nodded with an expression of enlightenment, and then looked at Jinxiu with admiration: "You know a lot. I didn't know that building a house requires someone to read Feng Shui. Grange People on the road build houses, and they just set off firecrackers, but it’s not so particular.”

What she said was like the words of a country girl, but from the corner of her eyes, Feng Yu's lips were curled up, as if she was secretly laughing.It's not just her, Jinxiu also has a smile on her face, and the contempt that flashes across her eyes shows her deep contempt for her master.

Qin Su turned her eyes to look at the drawing, but her heart sank.

The situation is not optimistic, and the most important thing is that she is detained in this yard, where she can't go, and she can't go.

Excessive snooping might arouse suspicion.

"The situation in the mansion is different from that in the countryside." Jinxiu finally suppressed her smile, but her tone was filled with unspeakable pride and pride: "I didn't say that, the well was filled by a coincidence. Here Someone just filled the well, and at the other end there was a post from Mrs. Huo, saying that she was going to come to our house as a guest. The girl said, isn't this just saying that once the well is filled, something good will happen?"

Qin Su's breathing paused for a moment.

Mrs. Huo?
Huo Zhijian's wife?

How could she think of coming to Qin's house as a guest?

While thinking about it, Qin Su suddenly remembered that there was news from Ali some time ago, saying that the Huo family was planning to choose a family school for their children to attend.

According to common sense, the largest and most famous ethnology in Han'an County is the Hou Fan clan study in Han'an Township.The children of some established noble families in the county mostly gather here, such as the Cheng family and the He family.Even though Huo Zhijian is only a ninth-rank official, he should be the target of the Fan family's wooing because of the great power in his hands.

Could it be that Huo Zhijian was not very satisfied with the Fan Clan Studies?
Qin Su was thinking about it, and a confused look appeared on her face. She frowned and asked, "Huo family? I haven't heard of it. Is it a famous family in the county?"

This time, Jinxiu honestly shook her head: "I don't know about this... girl forgive me."

Most of her news is limited to the inner house, and she is not very clear about the famous families in the county.

Qin Su then turned to Feng Ruo logically, raised her voice slightly and asked, "Woman, do you know the Huo family?"

Feng Yu stood up and said in a respectful voice: "As for the girl, I have heard people occasionally say that there is a Zhongzheng Lang from another county, and his surname is Huo."

It really was Huo Zhijian, damn it!

Qin Su gritted his teeth in thought, and said "uh" in his mouth, and didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that Mrs. Huo's visit this time should be for the learning of the Qin family.However, based on Qin Su's understanding of this family, they would not look up to the Qin family, unless the Qin family now has a gentleman in office, or can climb some big crown family.

Thinking of this, Qin Su's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, Xue Yunheng's coquettish white dress swayed in her mind a few times.

Immediately she dismissed the idea.

As far as she knew, although Huo Zhijian acted resolutely, he was a loyal and filial person. He was upright and upright. He probably wouldn't let his wife flatter him for the sake of the Xue family.

While thinking about it, Qin Su carefully traced the blooming branch in the snow vase, and gradually became fascinated. She was very focused on the painting, but put Jinxiu's words aside.Suddenly, another servant girl came in to reply, saying that it was Qin Yanwan who had invited her to appreciate the pear blossoms, so Qin Su suppressed her emotions and let the matter go without mentioning it.
