Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 49

"What's wrong? Cailu's face is so white." When she stepped down the stone bridge, Jinxiu couldn't help but said, looking back again.

Cailu was usually the most arrogant person, and he didn't care much when he saw Jinxiu.Seeing her so frightened now, Jinxiu felt like a cat scratching her heart, she wished she could follow her and ask what happened.

Qin Su ignored her and walked forward on her own.

Jinxiu took a look at her expression, seeing that her expression was cold, she didn't dare to say any more, and went back to Dongli step by step.

It's strange to say that after staying by Qin Su's side for a long time, Jinxiu gradually became a little afraid of her. Sometimes Qin Su's eyes would make her panic.Perhaps it was because of this reason that she didn't dare to run to Donghuaju recently. She always felt that Qin Su's eyes were staring at her back, which made people shudder.

Before noon, the news about Dongqing Villa spread in the East courtyard, but it really happened.

It turned out that an old woman who was sweeping the courtyard in Dongqing Villa accidentally fell into the well, and her body was already swollen with bubbles when it was salvaged.

Someone died in the yard, and it was a time of great mourning, so it is understandable for Cailu to be flustered.Qin Yanwan knew that the matter was serious, so she quickly reported the matter to Donghua Residence, and sent a letter to Dehui Hall.

As soon as Lin got the news, she immediately rushed to Dongqing Villa. Seeing that Qin Yanwan was safe and sound, her heart fell into her stomach, and she shed tears while holding her daughter's hand.

"My Awan is fine, that's good, that's good." With red eyes, she embraced Qin Yanwan in her arms and kept caressing her, tears streaming down her face.

Her husband had just died, and it was a time of mourning and panic every day, and another person died suddenly in her daughter's yard, and Lin's emotions were a little out of control.

While comforting her, Qin Yanwan asked someone to bring a warm cloth towel, and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't worry, Ah Wan is fine, you can wipe your face first." After saying that, she handed the cloth towel to the Lin family. in front of you.

Mrs. Lin was just in a moment of impatience, but now she has gradually calmed down, so she took a cloth towel to wipe her face, glanced at the big case at the side, frowned suddenly, pointed to the white water in the teacup on the case, and asked, "Ah Wan, what's wrong with you?" Drink plain water? Where’s the tea that Uncle Zhong brought you the month before yesterday?” His eyebrows rose again, and he said angrily, “Could it be that you gave it to Liu Niang again?”

For some reason, these two daughters of hers have always been very kind to the maid, which made Lin feel a little uncomfortable.

Qin Yanwan knew about Lin's heart troubles all along, so she comforted her and said, "How can you give away the tea that Grandmother rewarded you at will? I keep it all the time." After a pause, she continued, "Women are mourning for their fathers. The food should be enjoyed after release, but it is not easy to take it out now."

When Mrs. Lin heard the words, she felt relieved immediately, and felt that her daughter had done a good job, so she said, "My son is still the governor."

Seeing that her mood improved, Qin Yanwan thought for a while, and then said tactfully: "Mother, where is Liu Lang...Mother had better take care of it, don't go beyond the rules of etiquette."

Although Qin Yangong was only three years old, he was still the master of the Qin family after all, but the Lin family obviously doted on him, it is said that two days ago he asked someone to boil chicken soup for him.

The Qin family is now in the midst of a serious funeral, and the deceased Qin Shizhang was not only the husband of the Lin family, but also the father of Qin Yangong, and the two of them served the most serious beheading.There are rules of etiquette. During the period of beheading, one can only eat porridge in the morning and evening before crying for a hundred days. After crying, you can eat water and drink. After Xiaoxiang, you can eat vegetables and fruits. to return to a normal diet.

Now that the hundred days have not passed, Mrs. Lin made chicken soup for Qin Yangong to drink.If this matter gets out, the world will not say that the Lin family loves the youngest son, but will only say that the Qin family does not respect filial piety and is worthy of the name of a noble family.

Qin Yanwan's painstaking efforts, but Lin's did not seem to appreciate it, and said casually: "Ah, you are still young, so you don't have to stick to these things."

Qin Yangong's nickname, Aman, was given by Qin Shizhang himself.

Seeing this, Qin Yanwan couldn't persuade her deeply, so she had to give up.

At this time, another servant woman came to report: "Madam, the wrapping is finished, Madam, do you need to check it?" But the body of the old woman who fell into the water was collected, in fact, it was just wrapped in a mat.

Mrs. Lin was jealous, she couldn't bear to look at these things, she frowned and said: "I won't look at it, you take her outside first to see if she has any family members, if there is, ask them to take it, if not, find someone to bury."

The servant girl wanted to go, but was stopped by Qin Yanwan.

Lin asked: "What's the matter? My son still has something to ask her to do?"

Qin Yanwan said slowly: "I have some questions to ask. I don't know how the old woman fell into the water? What's the situation by the well?"

The maid hurriedly said respectfully: "The old woman probably slipped and fell into the well. I went to see it just now. The side of the well is very slippery, and there is still a lot of ice. I slipped when I walked."

Qin Yanwan nodded, and glanced at Mrs. Lin again.

After listening to the servant woman's answer, Mrs. Lin suddenly remembered one thing, and hurriedly ordered: "So, you send some stewards to report the matter to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xiyuan, and then send some servants to the wells everywhere. Sprinkle charcoal ashes on the sides of bridges and pools, and if it is not enough, find some old cotton wool to spread on it, so as not to cause people to slip and fall.”

The death of a servant woman is not a big deal, Lin didn't want to hide it, and sent people to report everywhere, just to prevent such things from happening again.She holds the middle feeder, and she should do these things.

Seeing that she arranged it properly, Qin Yanwan frowned and said: "Mother would like to hold on to Cuan, it's so wonderful."

She just wanted to take the opportunity to remind her mother, and seeing that her goal was achieved, she didn't say anything more.

Not long after Lin's order was issued, several servants from Dongli also came to sprinkle carbon ash on the ground near the water in the yard, and another servant woman specifically reported the matter to Qin Su.

After the matter passed the clear path, Jinxiu regained her spirits, followed the servant woman to ask questions, and went outside regardless of the severe cold.

Qin Su really didn't want to care about it, she let her scurry around the garden like flowers and butterflies.

It was hard for Jinxiu to know so many people, and within half an hour, she found out the whole story clearly, and ran to Qin Su to explain it in detail as if offering a treasure.

"...The old woman is a lonely old man with no relatives at home. She is very pitiful. She has been in charge of sweeping the yard of Dongqing Villa. Because she is old, the second mother pitied her for her old age, so she just asked her to take it easy. Erniang is kind-hearted, but she doesn't know why the old woman went to draw water, but slipped and fell, Erniang is still sad at this moment." Jinxiu said carefully, On the one hand, he was roasting his hands by the stove, and his face was still flushed from the cold.

At this time, Qin Su put on the plaster and was sitting on the couch resting. Hearing this, she followed her words and said, "It's too cold, and it's always snowing. The ground is really slippery."

Jinxiu immediately interjected: "Young lady is right, that old woman is really strange, she wants to fetch water at night, so there is no one in the yard at that time? The wind is so strong that no one can hear her even if she yells out loud. "

Qin Su couldn't help but glanced at Jin Xiu, and asked, "How do you know that she fell into the well at night?"

Jinxiu smiled triumphantly: "I found out from people. The old woman said two nights ago that she was going to fetch water, and she disappeared. The girl thought, didn't she go to the well to fetch water? Forget it, she fell into the well two nights ago." Then she shook her head and sighed regretfully.
