"How dare I interfere with my masters' affairs! I just need to serve you well!"
Xiaotao's face was filled with shame, and she took the cold tea out and said, "I'll give you a cup of hot tea instead!"
"Cousin Suisui, something is wrong!"
Qin Shiqiong ran in from outside and almost dropped the hairpin on her head to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
You can't say unlucky words during the Chinese New Year. Qin Shiqiong sighed,
"I can't say it's bad, look at my mouth, I don't have any taboos, bah!"
What happened?
She actually forgot to submit the post in advance.
"The Emperor ordered that the Song family's cousin be released from prison!"
This is a good thing!
Lian Suisui said in surprise: "When did it happen? Why didn't you hear the news?"
The ancestor worship ceremony of the Lian family was relatively simple and lasted all morning. I heard that the ancestor worship ceremonies of other noble families in the capital were more complicated than those of the royal family and lasted until the evening.
As a long-established aristocratic family in the capital, the Shouchang Hou Mansion has very complicated ancestor worship rituals. As the eldest grandson of the Song family, Song Jing will generally not be absent unless a major change occurs.
The emperor released Song Jing to return home today, sending the message that the Shouchang Marquis Mansion will be reused.
This is a great good thing!
"Listen to me first!"
Qin Shiqiong didn't finish her words. Lian Suisui looked innocent and didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"It was originally a good thing, but the emperor just ordered that the Song family's cousin be demoted and let the Song family's cousin be the governor of Jingzhao."
"Furthermore, the emperor is not giving face to the Shouchang Hou Mansion. It was during the sacrifice today that he suddenly remembered it and asked Mr. Du. Mr. Du begged the emperor, and the emperor agreed to let his cousin go home to worship first."
"This doesn't mean that you are openly slapping Shouchang Houfu in the face!"
Is there such a thing?
Lian Suisui asked doubtfully: "Mr. Du...is he the Mr. Du I know?"
Her expression was subtle. Among the men the original owner had entangled with, Du Hanyin was definitely the one who impressed her the most. Firstly, the time the original owner had entangled with him was only a little shorter than the time she had entangled with Cheng Wang. Secondly, because of Du Hanyin, she was almost beaten by Weng Ling. It was dismantled.
Didn't he refuse to become an official in the court and choose to be a teacher in the Imperial College?
Why do you have so much face in front of Emperor Chen?
Qin Shiqiong hit her on the head.
"Are you pretending to be stupid with me? Even I can find out the news. You were born and raised in the capital, but you don't know? What's more, haven't you pestered others before?"
"Don't mention the past. I said I only looked at faces before. Who knows if Mr. Du is talented? Tell me quickly, what's wrong with him?"
It didn't look like she was faking it, she probably really didn't know.
Qin Shiqiong glanced outside the door and told Xiao Tao to close the door. She whispered in Lian Suisui's ear: "I heard that Du Hanyin's greatest skill is not writing articles, but... the art of Qihuang."
Does that mean he can tell fortunes?
That’s more suitable for Qin Tianjian! Why do you want to be a teacher? Isn't this a sign of humiliation...
Lian Suisui's brain circuit is different from others, Qin Shiqiong has given up.
"The topic has gone off topic. Ups and downs in the officialdom are all normal. Even if the Song family's cousin is the governor of Jingzhao, he is already better than most people. It's just that in the capital's territory, the superiors are flattered and the inferiors are underestimated. The Song family's cousin has offended him before. Many people, some took advantage of today to cause trouble in front of the Shouchang Hou Mansion, let me tell you."
In fact, she wanted to join in the fun, but her mother scolded her, and she felt unconvinced. Why can't she go if her eldest brother can go?
Among the people she knew, only Lian Suisui was the most daring. If cousin Suisui wanted to go, she tried to dissuade her to no avail, so she could only go along to see the situation, and her mother wouldn't be able to say anything then.
She is so smart!
Lian Suisui looked at her raised face suspiciously.
"Do you want to go to the Shouchang Hou Mansion to watch the excitement?"
Qin Shiqiong, who was exposed, retorted: "How can you say that? After this incident, the nobles in the capital did not dare to have anything to do with the Shouchang Hou Mansion. I went to express my position. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to offer help in the snow. We are all Relatives should help each other!”
Lian Suisui said oh.
"Is this what my aunt means or what my uncle means?"
The Qin family has always been neutral and has never formed cliques in the capital. Even among relatives, they only send greetings during the holidays. At this time, they openly stand up to support the Shouchang Hou Mansion. It doesn't matter what others think. The emperor must think that The Qin family is colluding with the Shouchang Hou Mansion. If they encounter villains flattering and framed again, it will be troublesome...
"Why are you like this! If you don't dare to go, I will go myself!"
Qin Shiqiong pouted angrily, and Lian Suisui hurriedly grabbed her.
"No, it's my fault. Cousin, please wait a moment. I'll go and talk to my mother first. Then you can take my carriage. We'll take a look and come back. Don't show your face, lest you ruin my uncle's and aunt's plans."
Qin Shiqiong nodded.
"Okay, I listen to you!"
She means the same thing!
In the main courtyard, Mrs. Qin was meeting guests. Lian Suisui simply explained her purpose of coming. Mrs. Qin knew that she was sensible, so she agreed to let her go out.
The servants prepared the carriage, Qin Shiqiong wrapped herself in a cloak and got in, smiling at Lian Suisui.
This girl is also a restless person.
"Why don't you go find Sister Chen?"
Qin Shiqiong pursed her lips and said: "The two sisters of the Chen family are not as free as you. You can go wherever you want. Fortunately, every household is worshiping their ancestors today. I know you won't go out. I will definitely find you when I come. Normally I don't know you." No matter what I’m busy with, I can’t find anyone!”
"I heard that you opened a pharmacy? Where is it? I'll go and support you later!"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Lian Suisui covered her mouth, "Children's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous, don't take them seriously!"
No one goes to the drugstore to support me!
Qin Shiqiong also realized that she had said the wrong thing and followed her example and bowed in all directions.
Lian Suisui was made dumbfounded by her.
"Let's talk about this later. First tell me where you heard the news?"
Qin Shiqiong rolled her eyes upward and said vaguely: "Aren't you listening to my father and brother's comments..."
The carriage turned a corner, and the street in front of the Shouchang Hou Mansion was obviously lively.
"Isn't cousin Song home yet? Why are there so many people?"
Their carriage barely squeezed in.
There was a commotion not far away. Lian Suisui opened the car curtain and saw Song Jingwei, dressed in civilian clothes, walking forward surrounded by a group of people.
"Step aside!"
Meng Shuang had an egg yolk hanging on his head. He pushed aside the crowd that kept pushing forward and cursed: "Everyone is ungrateful. You don't care how many unjust, false and wrong cases Brother Song has fought back. You just want to excuse those who have done all kinds of evil! Look at Brother Song." If you are in trouble, jump out and shoot hidden arrows. If you have the ability, come out and confront me!"
His tail tone was still rising, but it suddenly stopped.
Meng Shuang spit out the sheep dung egg that someone threw into his mouth with a sigh.
"Which bastard did this? Get out of here!"
Meng Shuang jumped up and looked into the crowd, but was so squeezed that he moved forward with his feet dangling in the air. This scene was so funny that even Suisui couldn't help laughing.
"That's my big brother!"
Qin Shiqiong pointed at Qin Hongye who was guarding Song Jingwei not far away. Lian Suisui looked over. Qin Hongye was tall and strong, with quick eyesight and quick hands. He caught a smashed egg and threw it back before others could react. It accurately hit a powerful young man in the crowd.
He was clean, and Song Jingwei, who was being protected by him, was also clean. Meng Shuang and the guards were more or less stained with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs...
"Which song is this?"
