Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 157

It was nearly an hour after Qiao Lianshi left.Su Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This Mrs. Qiao is really too good at crying, almost flooding Jinshan Temple."

"Concubine Jun, what is Shuiman Jinshan Temple?" Yun Duo didn't understand, Su Qinghe blinked, and then remembered that the early vernacular story of Legend of White Snake only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, so she broke the topic with a smile: "What time is it now? The prince of the county will probably be back soon? Go to the kitchen and order to make some dishes that the prince of the county likes to eat."

Yun Duo smiled and nodded: "Well, this cook is newly sent, and I don't know the tastes of the county prince and princess, so I will go and mention a few words."

Speaking of the cook, Su Qinghe suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Wait, did you find the cook before us?" Although Su Qinghe didn't bring the cook with him before he fled, but he did. The cook gave some money and asked her to find a place to hide.

Firstly, Su Qinghe couldn't figure out whether she was a spy or not, and secondly, the cook was also a relatively low force value, if she brought it along, it would only add trouble to Qi Heng and the others.It just so happened that the cook was a local, and she could also rely on her relatives, so Su Qinghe boldly left her behind.

"The servant girl went to inquire about it. The cook cooks delicious food, and she is especially good at the taste of pregnant women. I will ask the guards to check the background of the cook later. If it is useful, I will bring her back. "

Yun Duo said with a smile, Su Qinghe thought for a while and waved his hand: "That's fine, the people in the county guard's mansion are really worried. Anyway, the cook's contract of sale is also in our hands, which is more reassuring Some."

As he spoke, he became a little sleepy again.Seeing that her eyes were closed, Yun Duo hurriedly brought out a thin blanket from the inner room to cover her, then went outside to tell the maids to pay attention, and hurried to the kitchen.

Although she can do it, this is not the time for her to show off her talents. The most important thing for her is to guard Su Qinghe.So, after going around the kitchen, I hurried back again.

Seeing that Su Qinghe still maintained the previous appearance, she breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the sewing basket, bowed her head, and started sewing seriously.

It was near noon that Shen Junxiu came back.Su Qinghe slept for a while, and finally recovered, she wanted to go over to serve Shen Junxiu to change clothes, but was stopped by Shen Junxiu: "You just sit at ease, I can do these things by myself, you should pay more attention now Take care of yourself, don't make me worry."

"Okay." Su Qinghe nodded with a smile, poured tea for Shen Junxiu, and asked, "How many days are left before this matter in Jiangnan can be resolved?"

"It will be resolved the day after tomorrow." Shen Junxiu changed into loose clothes, and sat down beside Su Qinghe: "The list and account books, the third brother has sent someone to the capital, we just need to wait for the imperial envoy to come and escort the county officials away. .”

The subsequent replacement of officials is not something that Shen Junxiu can intervene in.

"By the way, brother Junxiu, I've always been very strange. When the guard Zhou went to rescue me, he said that the third brother was assassinated. Then he thought that our side might also be in danger, so he sent someone over. .Then the third brother and you were assassinated together?"

Shen Junxiu met the assassin immediately after sending off the third prince, so it didn't make sense that the third prince would have to spend a day or two at night.

Shen Junxiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stretched out his hand to pinch Su Qinghe's cheek: "Finally, I was smart for a while, the third brother naturally encountered the assassination with me, but I had already returned to the city at that time, the third brother had already left the city, the two of us The distance is quite far. After that, I will go to the west of the city, while the third brother will go in the direction of the capital, so there is no way to free up his hands to take care of me."

"When the third brother finally got rid of the assassin, he immediately sent people to the Jiangnan Commander's Mansion to bring up soldiers." Shen Junxiu flashed a mockery on his face: "If not, do you really think that the Jiangnan Commander has considered it clearly? Gains and losses?"

The third prince is an imperial envoy on the surface, so he has something to prove his identity. If he comes to give the order, unless the Jiangnan Commander wants to have his family ransacked and his family wiped out, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility of delaying the lives of the two princes.

"That Tian Hu..." After Su Qinghe thought it over, he immediately thought of the lobbyist he had sent here. As soon as his face turned pale, he felt a little sad. Could it be that because of himself, that young guard had already died?
"Don't worry, Tian Hu is still alive and well." Shen Junxiu now understands Su Qinghe, and when he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. He stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and said with a smile: "Tian Hu is a clever Yes, the first day he observed that Commander Jiangnan didn't really want to send troops, and even wanted to kill him, so he quickly hid, looking for an opportunity to steal Commander Jiangnan's soldier amulet, and then directly dispatched troops there."

"Soldier Talisman?" Su Qinghe was just a little happy, but also a little surprised. This day, after hearing about the stealing of the Talisman Talisman twice, she was really puzzled—wonder if these two things are related?
"Brother Junxiu, who stole the soldier talisman?" Su Qinghe recounted the fact that Qiao Lianshi came to visit today: "The tone of that Qiao Lianshi's tone has been proved conclusively, and Aunt Chen has already been arrested. She's locked up, waiting to be dealt with."

Shen Junxiu frowned slightly: "Tian Hu didn't succeed. If he succeeded, he should have rescued you two days earlier. It was the third brother who brought the order, and the Jiangnan Commander sent troops, and Tian Hu took the risk today. Come out from the Jiangnan Commander's Mansion..."

"Tian Hu just came back today?" Su Qinghe was even more puzzled: "Since Mr. Qiao lost his military talisman, he will definitely check his mansion thoroughly. There are more people in the mansion for no reason. There should be no way to hide this kind of thing Right? And Tian Hu disappeared inexplicably before, so Master Qiao never suspected it?"

Shen Junxiu frowned, thought for a while and said to Su Qinghe: "I have to ask Tian Hu about this in detail, you can use the lunch first, I will come back later..." As he said that, he was about to get up and leave, but Su Qinghe hurriedly grabbed him his sleeves.

"Brother Junxiu, the sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest! You haven't taken good care of your body these days, you may lose a lot of meat, Tian Hu is there and can't escape, why are you so anxious?"

Su Qinghe dragged Shen Junxiu to sit down again: "Even if it's very important, you have to take care of your body first, can't you ask after eating?"

Shen Junxiu was about to speak, but Su Qinghe pointed at the hourglass: "Look, it's time to eat in a while, at most it takes half an hour to eat, if you don't eat, it's not the half an hour that's delayed Now, maybe there will be some losses in the future."

Shen Junxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not that serious..."

"It's because of your thinking that you always feel that nothing is that serious, and then you accumulate more and more, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. In the end, nothing will become something."

Su Qinghe curled her lips, turned to look at Yunduo, Yunduo hurriedly nodded: "Princess Jun, the food will be ready in a while, I will go to remind you now."

Shen Junxiu rubbed his chin: "Quantitative change leads to qualitative change? This is quite interesting, did you come up with it yourself?"

Su Qinghe shook her head: "Of course it's not me. How could I say such a reasonable thing? I just heard it from others occasionally. I thought it was interesting, so I remembered it. By the way, Brother Junxiu, I need your help with something else. Woolen cloth."

Although Qi Heng can also do it, but in the end Qi Heng is Shen Junxiu's guard, so it's better to tell Shen Junxiu.That cook's craftsmanship is really good. Now that Su Qinghe has a body, she is always hungry. It is not so easy to find a cook who suits her appetite.

After Shen Junxiu listened, he nodded generously: "I thought it was something important, but a cook, you have to wait for two days, and after a few days I will find out that there is no problem, and then I will bring it back for you to use. If there is a problem, at worst, find another cook."

Su Qinghe smiled and kissed Shen Junxiu's face from the side: "Thank you, brother Junxiu."

Shen Junxiu stretched out his hand and touched the place on the cheek where Su Qinghe kissed him. He was inexplicably happy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "That's the end of my thanks? I have to work hard, and the way my wife sent me away is too simple. A little bit."

Su Qinghe blushed, glared at Shen Junxiu, and then at her stomach.Shen Junxiu sighed: "Hey, forget it, it's inconvenient for my wife now, so I have to endure it for the time being as a husband. I will write down this account first, and I will come back to ask for it for my husband when it is convenient for my wife."

Su Qinghe was embarrassed and was shy when Yun Duo, who rescued the scene, came back: "Your Highness, Princess Concubine, the lunch is ready, should it be placed in the living room or in the flower hall?"

"Let's put it in the flower hall. The weather is getting colder every day. If you put it in the living room, you need a cold wind." Shen Junxiu said ahead of Su Qinghe. Su Qinghe nodded: "Well, let's put it in the flower hall."

The two ate lunch affectionately, one went for a walk in the yard to digest food, and the other hurriedly went to the front yard to ask Tian Hu about the situation.Su Qinghe glanced at the door from time to time, waiting for Shen Junxiu to come back and tell her gossip.

Originally thought it was a big conspiracy, but Su Qinghe didn't expect that after only a quarter of an hour, Shen Junxiu came back with a relaxed face: "How long has the lady been gone?"

"It's been two quarters of an hour, have you finished asking?" Su Qinghe wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Shen Junxiu curiously, Shen Junxiu nodded: "It's been a long time, I'm sweating, go into the room quickly, but Don't wait to catch a cold."

"What's going on? Who stole the soldier talisman?" Su Qinghe asked while following Shen Junxiu into the house.Shen Junxiu waved his hand, signaling Yun Duo, who was holding a hot towel, to go out, and then wiped Su Qinghe's face and changed clothes himself: "Of course it's Aunt Chen, and Qiao Guozhu is also a smart person, and things like soldier talismans are naturally well hidden. , Tian Hu searched in the study for two nights but couldn't find it."

"I only know now that Tian Hu is really talented. He has been hiding under Mrs. Qiao's bed for the past few days. No matter how hard Mrs. Qiao searches, she will not search under her own bed. The kid took advantage of the loophole."

Quickly put on a big fur cloak for Su Qinghe, Shen Junxiu leaned on the soft couch with a smile and said: "In the daytime, Mrs. Qiao is out to deal with affairs, and she only comes back at night, and at that time Tian Hu went to the study again, wandering around , really escaped the search, and, that Aunt Chen probably really hated Mrs. Qiao to the bone, and helped Tian Hu two or three times, which allowed him to escape without any danger."
