Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 123: Hide and Seek

Qin Xiao didn't know whether he was stimulated by Qin Ji's urination, or he felt that it was inconvenient to bring a baby by his side.Qin Ji was sent away within three days.

Jin Xi was afraid that Qin Xiao would just find a random family to adopt Qin Ji, and he didn't dare to ask Qin Xiao face to face, lest he think he doubted his ability to handle affairs.Hearing that Mrs. Tang helped to arrange this matter, she bit the bullet and asked Jinfeng to inquire secretly if Mrs. Tang was looking for a good family.

It is learned that Qin Ji was adopted by a distant relative of the Tang family, who is poor but upright.The couple had been married for many years and had no children, and they didn't want to take concubines. After getting Qin Ji, they treated him as their own son, and asked the patriarch to enter the family tree the next day.There was also a banquet for the guests, and Qin Ji was officially named Tang Wangchun.

He also heard that Mr. Tang secretly returned fifty acres of paddy fields to his son as the cost of raising Qin Ji. Jinxi felt relieved. Being able to include the adopted child in the genealogy showed that the family valued Qin Ji, and it also showed that Tang Tiancai's parents Some tricks were used against the patriarch. With the protection of Master Tang and his wife and the backing of money, Qin Ji should be able to live a good life.

After Jinfeng finished talking about the business, she suddenly pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, which is ridiculous."

"What's the matter?" Jin Xi hurriedly put down his teacup and asked.Jinfeng always looks serious, it's rare for her to find it funny, this must be funny.

"I wanted to see how Tang Wangchun's adoptive parents treated him, so I hid outside that family's house and watched for a few hours. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin also hid outside that house to watch, as if he was afraid that someone would mistreat that little thing." Jin Feng giggled and said: "No wonder there are rumors outside that Mr. Qin has an illegitimate son. Look at him, he really looks like the child's father."

puff!Jin Xi just took a sip of tea and sprayed it to the ground, almost falling off the chair with too much force.Laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe, I almost rolled on the ground.God has eyes, she didn't spread the word!She was imagining what Qin Xiao's expression would be when she heard this, and Jin Feng said lightly, "Also said you are the child's mother!"

"What?" Jin Xi seemed to be struck by lightning, gloating and froze on his face.Without such a blind person making up nonsense, how can such a good deed be spread like this?

Mama Ai was coming in with freshly steamed tortoise jelly, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground paralyzed, the chrysanthemum petal cup in her hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Jin Xi rushed over in fright, Jin Feng was the first to help Ai's mother to sit up, dragging her back of her neck with one hand, and pinching her with the other.Mama Ai woke up with a sound of 'hmm', and saw Jinxi slapping her thighs with both hands, and burst into tears, "God has no eyes, how can a girl live with such words?"

"It's not as serious as my mother thought. I'm old here. Who can believe this kind of nonsense." Jin Xi stepped forward to help Jinfeng lift up Ai's mother, and her heart was blocked with anger. Who is so vicious and full? Throw dirty water on her head?Even if she bury someone, she has to be more reliable, can she be a mother at such a young age?Besides, the time is not right!

That being said, Jin Xi also knows that this matter cannot be taken lightly.

It took less than two days for her to bring Qin Ji back to the mansion and then to the Tang family. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, she always picked Qin Ji to go in and out when he was asleep, and did not disturb others.Floods are raging outside Anyang City. Some families in the city are in panic. Who would pay attention to the fact that the Tang family has an extra child?
How did these gossips spread?

"It must be that girl surnamed Qin who murdered the girl, or Anyang Hou took revenge on the girl, or it was the goddamn aunt who murdered the girl!" It's a good thing that Jin Xi didn't persuade her, but Mama Ai was shocked and angry because of this persuasion.With a sob, he yelled out all the candidates who might harm Jinxi.

Jin Xi looked at Mama Ai crying speechlessly, fortunately there was no outsider in front of her so these words could not be spread, otherwise there would be another disturbance.

After finally persuading Ai's mother to go back to the room, Jin Xi sat down in front of the dressing table and wanted to cry without tears. Is she possessed by an unlucky ghost?How can there be a wave of ups and downs?At first he calmed down and stroked his thoughts, but the first thought that popped up in his mind was that thanks to Zhao Tingxuan's return to Beijing, and thanks to Anyang being an isolated city, such nonsense would not reach his ears.

Fortunately, Jin Xi felt that he was worrying too much. Zhao Tingxuan is the most pure and humble gentleman, even if he heard this rumor, he would not believe it.Calculated according to the distance, he has already arrived in the capital at this moment. I don't know what he said and did with the nine princesses these days?
A voice was saying that Princess Jiu just happened to return to Beijing with Zhao Tingxuan on the same boat, and it was no big deal.Another voice was sneering, he is a childhood sweetheart, far more important than you!

Contradictory thoughts made her feel confused, dark clouds floated from nowhere, the sky became dark like the bottom of a pot in an instant, big raindrops fell as soon as it was said, and the blue tiles on the smashed roof crackled rattle.

The rain was thick and dense, like the Milky Way pouring down, Jinxi got up to close the window, and in a blink of an eye, the stagnant water in the courtyard had disappeared to a level. If this continues, even if the flood outside does not flood in, the city of Anyang will still be a vast ocean.The more she looked at it, the more annoying she became, she simply closed the door together, turned around twice and had nothing to do, saw that the ink that had been sharpened in the morning was still in the ink cartridge, and picked up the pen to practice a word to calm her mind.

I didn't know what to write, so I started to write randomly. After finishing writing on a piece of paper, I looked carefully only to find that there was a whole page of Zhao Tingxuan's name written on it.

Feeling sad for no reason, and afraid of being seen by others, Jin Xi tore the paper into pieces but was reluctant to throw it away, clutching it tightly and having nowhere to put it. The paper was thrown into the downpour.

With just a wave of hand, half of the sleeves were soaked, and the pieces of shredded paper that fell in the rain were instantly smeared into a ball of black ink.

Jin Xi burst into tears without warning, and suddenly felt that Zhao Tingxuan's promise was like a piece of paper in his hand. Not only did it have no weight, but it would disappear in wind and rain, so it couldn't be taken seriously.

"Girl, Auntie is here!" Qing Xing's cold knock on the door woke Jinxi up. She gently closed the back window, but her brows could not help but frown. I ran away, I have been avoiding myself on purpose these days, I don’t know if I changed my mind or I didn’t think about what price to ask, what are you doing in such a heavy rain?
As soon as Jinxi sewed the door, Acacia squeezed in, carrying a green paper umbrella in his hand and no one followed him. Not only was the peony red Hunan skirt soaked and stuck to his legs, but the right lapel of his upper body was covered with grape green gauze. The jacket also dripped water, and just after entering the door, there was a puddle of water on the ground, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.

He Huan also knew that he was like a drowned chicken, so he walked to the corner and grabbed Jin Xi's cloth towel to wipe his face and wiped it on his body, cursing as he wiped, "Damn it, it's raining so hard, don't say it in a few days The food in the house is moldy, and people are going to be moldy!"

"The grain in the Fucang is moldy?" Jin Xi was taken aback. Hundreds of thousands of people in Anyang City depended on the food in the Fucang for their lives. If something happened to the Fucang, these 10 people would starve to death?

He Huan wiped his hair and smiled, "Miss, why worry, you just won't be hungry! If the Fucang wants to be moldy, there must be grain mold!"

"What is Auntie Yu doing here?" The so-called nonsense, Jin Xi walked to the window in a nonchalant manner, and pushed open the window to dissipate the powdery smell on Hehuan's body.Going out in such heavy rain with such thick rouge on my face, I am not afraid of getting muddy.

He Huan's eyes lit up, and he threw the soaked towel into the basin, and approached Jinxi and said mysteriously: "Actually, there is no food in the warehouse, and the account book of the previous magistrate's sudden death was also lost. A few books, after taking office, the master couldn’t find any way to check them. I can’t hide my worries. Who knows that God helped the master to cause such a big disaster. Fortunately, the master was smart and made arrangements in advance. Now there is a chance to make a fortune. I don't know if the girl dares to do it."

Jinxi shivered, what do you mean by making arrangements in advance?Could it be that Zhou Bohai had tampered with flooding dozens of surrounding villages and towns?The more I think about it, the more likely it is that there has been no flood in Anyang Mansion for decades, and Zhou Bohai encountered such a catastrophe that has never happened in a century when he just took office?Otherwise, even if the more than ten seawalls are in disrepair for a long time, they will not collapse overnight!
"So many people died, is it a natural disaster or..." Jin Xi really couldn't say the word "man-made disaster". If her guess is true, Zhou Bohai's delay would be considered an advantage to him!
"What are you thinking about so much?" He Huan continued with a smile on her face, "Right now, there is a torrential flood outside, and it is uncertain whether the imperial government's disaster relief food will be delivered. We plan to make a fortune. Let’s collect food from the big households in the city, and then get the food relief from the court to make up for it. We can make a difference in the middle, and this sum alone can save enough for the girl’s dowry!”

"Who gave you this idea?" Jin Xi frowned, and took a deep breath before resisting the urge to strangle Hehuan to death.Although this woman is inhuman, she can't think of such a sinister idea. Someone must be instigating her.

He Huan twisted his body, the wet clothes covering his body was extremely uncomfortable, but he had to bear it, "Girl, don't care who came up with the idea, just use the money to make money. It's something that the Anyang Marquis is doing behind the scenes Son, what are you afraid of? Everything else is imaginary, only money is solid in your hands."

Jin Xi seemed to be scratching his eyebrows, and hurriedly calmed down his voice, "Auntie is right, but why didn't you tell father? I only have the scattered money in my hand, and the money in the house has been grasping all the time. In the hands of my father."

He Huan spat in secret, scolding Jinxi two hundred and five, but he was superficial, "The master has already had enough headaches because of the flood, let's give him a surprise!"

surprise?I think it's shocking!Jin Xi secretly scolded He Huan for being too tired of working, and dared to ask for disaster relief food when his upper and lower lips touched.Not to mention that the disaster relief food is not written down, even if it enters the government warehouse, it will be difficult to smuggle it out. Are those officials who supervise the food department of the household department just a display?

Who set her up with this trick, did they want to catch her with something other than Zhou Bohai or something else?
Seeing that Jin Xi hadn't spoken for a while, He Huan tugged his sleeves twice and snorted, "Girl, don't do it, don't regret it then!"

"I'll do it!" Jin Xi grabbed He Huan, there's no reason not to do the door-to-door business!
