Chapter Nine: The Qin Family in Shanxi

When the three of them entered Taiyuan City, they saw the lights and flowers, the bustling city, and the countryside outside, just like two different worlds.

Chang Sihao dismounted, handed the reins to Chen Sheng and said, "Brother Chen, we have arrived in Taiyuan now. Let's say goodbye."

Chen Sheng was surprised and said: "Brother, are you going to separate from your brother now?" Chang Sihao said: "Now that Taiyuan has arrived, I will go to find Mr. Cheng's mansion and return the jade pendant to his family. That's fine.

But Master Cheng's wish." Jing Lingyu smiled: "Brother Xiao Hei values ​​sex over friends, and is in a hurry to find his mother-in-law as soon as he gets there."

Chang Sihao thought about the scene before Mr. Cheng's death and felt heavy. He ignored her joke and said, "You have kept the jade pendant all the way. You've had enough fun, please give it back to me."

Jing Lingyu scratched his little head and said, "Ah, if you don't tell me, I still can't remember it. I spent all my time looking at the mountains and scenery and forgot about it. Where did I put it? Oops, I really can't find it.

"Chang Sihao said anxiously: "Look through it quickly, maybe it's stuck in your waist or it fell out of your pocket." Jing Lingyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can't marry the old lady of the Cheng family.

I will pay you a big girl." Chang Sihao said anxiously: "Look for it quickly, if you lose it, I will...I..." Jing Lingyu said: "How are you? You are going to eat it.

Am I not good?" He took out his jade pendant and knocked him on the head quickly. He smiled and put it into his arms again. Chang Sihao felt relieved when he saw that he had not lost it.

Chen Shengyi asked: "Brother Chang, where is Mr. Cheng's mansion? I'll go with you." Chang Sihao frowned: "I don't know this. At that time, Mr. Cheng only said it was in Taiyuan, but he didn't know it.

I don't have a chance to elaborate on the address." Chen Sheng said: "Taiyuan City is very big. It takes half a day to walk from south to north. You don't have any money on you. If you can't find it for a while, will you end up living on the street?" Jing Lingyu laughed.

He smiled: "Brother Chen, we are all children of the world, so there is no need to act coy. If you have money, why don't you lend us a few flowers and we'll get married?"

Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Of course it's easy, but no matter how much I give, it will always be limited. Why don't you follow your brother to live in the Qin Mansion temporarily? The Qin family's power spreads all over Jin. You can see the brothers who are supported by every city, prefecture and county."

Okay, you know what I said is true. The foundation of the Qin family is in Taiyuan. It is very easy to send out people to find an official's mansion. My brother will stay in the Qin mansion for a few days. When he finds it, he will send the jade pendant directly to the mansion.

Just go."

Chang Sihao said with a shy face: "I originally said I would send you off when I was on the edge of the Yellow River, but it turned out that the food and accommodation all the way were all paid for by my eldest brother. I really feel bad about it. Now that I have arrived in Taiyuan, how can I..." Chen Sheng said briefly: "Brother, this is

What a shame. In the martial arts world, even strangers visit your home. In addition to arranging meals, they also give you travel expenses before leaving. This is a rule left by the elders, and the word "righteousness" is what you pay attention to.

We became like brothers as soon as we met, so why are you so polite to your brother?"

Jing Lingyu smiled and said: "Yes, Xiaohei, do you know that the whole of Shanxi belongs to the Qin family, which is amazing. When you go to Shanxi, if you don't eat him or drink him, you will look down on him." Chen Sheng

As soon as he knew she was being sarcastic, he smiled. Chang Sihao thought that it would be difficult to find someone in the vast sea of ​​people. If he could get help from the Qin family, it would save him a lot of effort, so he agreed.

The three of them led the horses, and the street was bustling with people. The shops on both sides of the road were brightly lit, the restaurants and tea shops were crowded, the clerks were busy going back and forth, and the street stall owners were selling jewelry, needlework, dried and fresh fruits, and shouting.

There was a sound. There were even girls from brothels, leaning against the door and frame, their charming eyes squinting, and their sweet voices singing. They stopped customers in the street. A small businessman on the street corner saw it so hard that he even blew the candy in his hand and broke his own.

Making a living. All this was commonplace for Chen Shengyi, but Chang Sihao saw it freshly, and his eyes were not enough. After walking for a while, he saw a corner of a high wall behind the merchant's house, with green bricks and white walls. The ridge of the palace was towering and extremely majestic.

Chen Sheng led his horse across the shopping street and led it this way. Jing Lingyu said: "This courtyard is not small. Is it the Qin Mansion?" Chen Sheng said: "No, this is the Martial Arts Temple." Then they walked forward.

After walking through two streets, another wall appeared in front of me. This wall was three feet and two feet high, with pink and white walls and green eaves. I could see the painted pavilions and cloud towers inside the wall, which was extraordinary. After walking for a long time, there was no end in sight. I often thought

Hao thought to himself, I don't know what kind of temple this is, but it is much bigger than the Martial Arts Temple. As the saying goes, the poor tell fortunes and the rich burn incense. If there is no money from a wealthy family, how can such a big temple be built? These people would rather

They bought incense and burned it to ashes, but refused to give any charity to the poor.

After walking for a long time, a small door with a small height appeared in front. The door frame, lintel, threshold, and steps outside the door were all made of stone. The joints were tightly connected. It was obviously made by craftsmen who carefully ground and interlocked them. Look at that.

The stone has a fine texture and is extremely hard. It is no easy task to grind it. Jing Lingyu saw it and secretly sighed in his heart that this small side door was already a big project. There was a servant outside the door. When he saw three people arriving, he couldn't help it.

Not in a hurry, he bowed respectfully and said, "Second Manager, are you back?" Chen Sheng nodded. The servant withdrew to the side. Chen Sheng turned around and said, "Brother Chang, Miss Jing, please." Chang Sihao thought to himself: Oh.

, it turns out that this is the Qin Mansion.

Jing Lingyu looked displeased: "Brother Jing, is this the way you treat guests? Since you look down on us, we just turned around and left. We don't want to be treated like you here."

Chen Shengyi was stunned and confused: "Miss Jing, why did you say this?" Jing Lingyu said with a small mouth: "Well, my father is also the Prime Minister of the Hundred Swords Alliance, a great swordsman, and I am his only child.

Although your good daughter is not a distinguished guest, she will not be reduced to a side door of your Qin Mansion."

Chen Shengyi laughed and said: "It turns out that Miss Jing is here for this. I'm telling you the truth. This is the main entrance of the Qin Mansion, and it is definitely not a back door. If you don't believe me, you can go around the courtyard and know that what Chen said is true."

Jing Lingyu looked at his expression and it seemed that he was not telling lies, but it was really puzzling to have such a small door in such a big house, so he asked: "Is the Qin Mansion short of money? Why is the main entrance not in the right place, and why is it that the main entrance is not in the right place?

It’s so small and not impressive at all.”

Chen Sheng said, "Miss, I don't know. This is to avoid the royal taboo of opening the door due to the south and having the door in the center. Secondly, the door is small to prevent the leakage of wealth."

Jing Lingyu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is a bold and unruly person. He may not be afraid of leaking his wealth. It's just that this door is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's true." The servant's eyes

Turning over, staring at her face, his eyes flashed, Jing Lingyu thought to himself: This servant's skill is not low, so what does it matter if I just say the purpose of breaking this door? You glare at me, I'm afraid

You? Humph. Chen Shengyi smiled lightly and said, "Please."

The three of them entered the door. A servant had already led the horse through. They turned a corner and saw a hall in front of them. Looking from the courtyard, this hall was nine rooms wide. There was a gold plaque hanging high, which read: "Foot Sweeping".

Jing Fei. There are rows of wooden pillars in the hall, square on the outside and round on the inside. They are two feet and eight feet high. They are advanced layer by layer. They are all made of fine mahogany. Octagonal lanterns are hung high and well-proportioned, illuminating the wooden pillars.

The hall was full of bright light. Chen Sheng led the two of them forward and said, "This is the sedan hall. When guests get off the sedan, it can also be regarded as the main entrance of the house. Miss Jing, what do you think?"

Jing Lingyu nodded: "Well, it's pretty cool here, just so-so."

She looked at the inscriptions on the plaque and felt that the writing was powerful and majestic. The inscription was Yuchen. Although the characters were small, the writing was as powerful as a knife and as powerful as a strong wind destroying grass.

Jing Lingyu said: "I heard from my father that the name of Mr. Qin's taboo is Yuchen. I think the four words "sweeping the jingfei" were inscribed by him."

Chen Sheng said: "Exactly, that was the title he wrote on his birthday in the 41st year of Jiajing reign."

Jing Lingyu said: "Oh, that was just a few years ago. I'm sorry, but the old man's mood in his later years was not very good." Chang Sihao said hurriedly: "Don't say rude words."

Jing Lingyu said: "It's not that I'm ungrateful, but it's revealed in the words. It's enough to sweep away the thorns. It comes from "Rewarding the Lords for Seeing": I'm sorry that I'm not dead, I'm sorry for this lonely life. I live in Lantian.

The thin land is cultivated, and taxes are paid at the end of the year to provide rice. In the morning, I go to Donggao, and the grass is still dew. In the evening, I watch the fireworks, and my burdens come and go. When I hear that there are guests, I am enough to sweep away the bushes. It is about living in seclusion and loneliness, and friends come and leave.

Things are not very happy, but more desolate. Mr. Qin must have been in the world for a long time, and he is physically and mentally tired. I am afraid that he has the intention of retiring."

Chen Shengyi said that she was a naughty little girl who loved to play. Unexpectedly, she had read a lot of books. He thought that Jing Dajian was worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Hundred Swords Alliance and had a good family education. The three of them passed through the hall, and there was another high wall in front of them.

The gate has cornices, carved tiles, and lifelike figures and birds.

Jing Lingyu still thought about the meaning of the plaque, pointed at her lips, and said as she walked: "It is normal for people to be in the world and have no control over their own actions. Mr. Qin wanted to retreat but could not, so he sighed. If there is a successor to the Qin family,

, I'm afraid his state of mind will not be like this." When Chen Sheng heard this, his face twitched and his face looked a little ugly.
