196 The Return
It's a pity that sometimes, wealth can move people's hearts, and it can even strengthen people's courage.The trouble is not that if you think it will not come, it will obediently not come.

After the members of the Lin family were beaten out by the Qin family, several people made a plan and thought of another way. They invited someone to talk about it, saying that they were willing to let Qin Lie recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.

When Xiaodong heard this, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth, and hurriedly swallowed it down first, then covered his mouth and coughed for a while: "Really?"

"Isn't it true?" Qin Lie scratched his hair, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of those old men in the morning.Those people all put on the faces of "you are young and ignorant", "we are doing this for your own good", "it's so pitiful that this child can't enter the ancestral hall without his father's education", but they can't take a big stick to them. Beat - after all, they didn't directly seek his money, and these old men are too old to walk, and their words are leaking, don't beat them to death with a stick, that's a big deal .

Dealing with these people was exhausting for him, much more tiring than beating someone with his fists.But fortunately, he has a firm idea, and those old men can't do anything to him even if they wear out their mouths.

"It's been sent away anyway, you can take a break. Shall I ask someone to serve you a bowl of soup?"

Qin Lie shook his head, lay down and pillowed on her lap: "Let me lean on for a while."

Xiaodong touched his face lovingly: "Well, you can rest for a while."

With such worrying relatives... I really don't need enemies.

"Anyway, we're going back to the capital in two days. They can't catch up to the capital."

"En." Qin Lie patted the back of her hand: "It disturbs you so much that you are not quiet. Originally, I wanted to take you out for a stroll, but now, let's stay at home."

"Well, I don't have any free time either. I've been busy packing things these days."

When you come back, you can’t go back empty-handed. There are a lot of specialties in Suizhou for all kinds of food and entertainment. If you pick up some of them, the total amount will be considerable.However, there are so many people who can’t stand it, besides Prince An’s Mansion, the Empress Dowager’s mansion, and the princesses’ mansions also have to say——

These are all human etiquette, and none of them can be coded.When others come over politely, you have to return your share.People in the Central Plains always pay attention to "reciprocity".

So from the first time Xiaodong saw a pair of couplets, he felt that those words were really wise and famous, but he might never reach the realm mentioned above in his whole life.

Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and human feelings are learned.

These two sentences that Second Master Bao deeply detested are actually quite right.

Everyone does not live alone in this world. There are many people around everyone, and these people have very intricate relationships with each other.If the world is unclear and people's relationships are not understood, then if you are not successful in life, you will certainly not be successful in doing things.

"Actually, when I was young, I went to Lin's house, but I didn't go in. I just stood outside and looked at the gate of Lin's house from a distance. Every time someone came in and out, I just watched and guessed who he might be. Maybe it was my uncle, Maybe it's my brother. Sometimes I think, maybe one day the old lady of the Lin family will regret it and pick me up. I will live where my father used to live, um, maybe I will change my surname to Lin..."

Xiaodong stroked his hair lightly, again and again.

"Later, when I grew up and became sensible, I stopped going. Not only did I not go, but if I would pass by there, I would go around and walk around, and I didn't want to meet that family."

Qin Lie was probably really tired, the two talked a few words, Xiaodong watched him close his eyes, his breathing gradually became steady, he seemed to be asleep.

Xiaodong touched his face, Qin Lie moved, muttered something, she quickly stopped.Wait, Qin Lie didn't wake up either.

Xiaodong didn't dare touch it anymore.

But it's hard to feel resentful.If it weren't for the tossing and tossing of these people from the Lin family, Qin Lie wouldn't be so tired these days.

She leaned on the big pillow in a daze, um, not counting the Lin family, it seems that they have nothing to do now.Zhao Zhi was also sent away, Shi Xiu was also sent away, the Li family brothers were under strict supervision by Zhang Ziqian, and the Yao family's old house also visited.She thought again in her heart whether she had brought enough things, whether she had forgotten anything—

Probably the number of times I went out was too little, and I was afraid that something would be wrong if I didn't think about it.

After thinking this way for a while, Xiaodong also fell asleep in a daze.

After two days, everything was packed, and I really had to leave, feeling very complicated.

Xiaodong bid farewell to Yao Jinfeng, and Yao Jinfeng complained a bit: "You'll just live this winter before leaving. You can still see this one in my stomach when it's born in spring."

Xiaodong smiled bitterly: "There will always be a chance to see you in the future."

She is also reluctant.

On the one hand, I miss the capital strongly, and on the other hand, I have a deep nostalgia for this place.

Humans are very adaptable. Xiaodong was not used to it when he first came, and now he lives like a fish in water, without spending too much time at all.

"Mother, you really don't want to go to the capital with us?"

Mrs. Qin waved her hands again and again: "Don't! In the capital city, it's hot in summer and cold in winter. I can't live here. You go, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Besides, women in the capital don't go out, day by day. Locked in the yard, the hard stuff also smothered me to death."

Xiaodong still couldn't help it, and burst out laughing: "Look at what you said."

But what Qin said is also right.Compared with Suizhou and Dongquan, the capital is traditional and tightly bound by ethics.Even when women go out to the streets, they still hide their heads in cars and sedan chairs, which is by no means as open and free as here in Suizhou.

But even so, Xiaodong still misses the capital deeply.

Miss An Wang and Zhao Lu, and the Queen Mother, and...her home.

Qin Shi stood on the bank and waved at them. Xiaodong felt her nose sore, turned her head, and quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief.

While waving her hand, Qin ruthlessly grabbed Yanzi, preventing her from jumping onto the boat.

It wasn't until the boat went farther and farther that it was finally out of sight, that Qin let go of her hand.Swallow ran forward a few steps in vain, the pier was empty, and she cried out with a wow.

"Oh, silly girl." Mrs. Qin stood there, and waited for her to cry, then pulled her up and walked back: "The capital city is like a big cage, you will suffocate to death if you go there."

Yanzi sobbed and ignored her.

"Look, the princess's mother was from Suizhou, but she died at a young age. Your aunt also stayed in the capital for a few years, but nothing happened except trouble and sadness. The capital is not suitable for you girls go."

Swallow stubbornly raised her head: "They are them, and I am me."

Qin smiled desolately: "It's all the same."

"Fengliang, let's get in the cabin."

"Ah."

The cabin is neatly packed, just like when we came here, everything from the small spoon to the screen is complete.Xiaodong drank a cup of hot tea and wiped his face with a hot towel before feeling better.

"By the way, when we go back, do we still have to go through Fenglin Ferry?"

"That's natural."

It seems that as long as you go by water, you can't avoid that ferry.

"So, what happened to Huiyan?"

"I don't have a clue yet. But this kind of thing, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be. At that time, the murderer could not be caught, and I was afraid that he would have escaped. In addition, they themselves refused to accept each other, and they have become a mess. There is nothing to be afraid of. I also heard that they have suspected each other whether the other party killed Huiyan, and then randomly blamed the outsiders. Because Huiyan died in his own room, and there was no one before his death. Hearing the movement of fighting, it may be that when a familiar person is talking, he took advantage of his unprepared hand."

People's association ability in this respect is very rich.

Suspicious neighbors steal the ax... As long as you plant the seeds of doubt in your heart, the seeds will quickly take root and sprout on the dark fertile soil, and grow into towering trees.

They are busy fighting among themselves, and their strength is weakened, which is a good thing for passers-by.

Xiaodong said sincerely, "I hope everything is safe."

Qin Lie was right. Once Huiyan died, the threat of Fenglin Ferry was greatly reduced. It seemed that this ferry was more lively than the last time they passed by, and some large cargo ships were parked on the shore.The brothers of the Li family poked out two small heads from the porthole, staring at the shore with wide eyes.No wonder they were curious, it was because they had encountered such thrilling things when they passed by here the previous two times.

The two little ones were chattering without knowing what they were talking about, you pushed me and you pushed yours, then Xiaodong saw a hand holding a pen protruding out, and tapped each of their foreheads, and the two of them immediately behaved honestly. The flags and drums died down, the head was retracted, and the window was closed.

Most of the trees along the banks of the river have turned yellow.The pale yellow all over the mountains and plains is set against the dark green, and the maple leaves are as dark red as kirsch, which looks gorgeous and gorgeous.The large area of ​​reeds they passed by when they came was also dry and yellow, the reed flowers were swaying in the wind, and the fine snow-white catkins were flying on the river, like a heavy snowfall.

Xiaodong tightened his cloak.

For some reason, she was still a little uneasy when the boat stopped here.

Who killed Hye-yeon?
Is it someone who was robbed and killed by him?Or the person next to him?
There were footsteps behind him, and Xiaodong smelled the breath before the man approached.

A scent of ink.

There was only one person on this boat with such an aura.

Xiaodong turned his head, Zhang Ziqian stopped in his tracks.

"Seeing that you have been worrying a lot along the way, are you reluctant to part with Suizhou?"

Xiaodong smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to, but I miss the capital even more."

Xiaodong's heart suddenly moved.These days in Suizhou, Zhang Ziqian didn't go out much.Wang An said that he wanted to come out and take a look, so he shouldn't just stay in the house and not go anywhere.What's more——Xiaodong originally thought that they would only be together for a while, and Zhang Ziqian probably had other plans.But seeing that it was already autumn, Zhang Ziqian didn't go anywhere, and now they were going back to the capital together.

What is he out there for?Is it just to walk with her and them all the way?

Uh, I really need to exercise, I am really weak now~~

In other words, I couldn't hold back during the day, I ate a piece of toffee, and then I kept coughing and coughing for half a day~~
