Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth people do not fight with officials
"But we have taken refuge with the Fourth Prince. Will the Fourth Prince not protect us? After all, the Fourth Prince wants us to do things for him."
However, as soon as Qu Liang finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Mrs. Qu.
Qu Liang was beaten to the ground and his head was buzzing, and he couldn't recover for a while.
"What the hell are you talking about? Don't you know what it means to have trouble come from your mouth? If this word spreads, our Qu family will be known as a treasonous person."
Mr. Qu has a stern tone, can he say this?
"Second brother, be careful, what does it mean to work for the Fourth Prince? We are smelting iron ore, and the Qu family is good at forging weapons. Doing things for the Fourth Prince is to help him plot..."
Qu Dong's unfinished words immediately made Qu Liang break into a cold sweat. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he quickly sat back in his seat, trembling.
"Father, what should we do now? Where is the fourth prince?" Qu Dong said with a worried expression.
"The fourth prince's side is absolutely not allowed. He has not been going smoothly in wooing forces in Beiyuan Mansion these days, but it is not without success. If we agree to him, we must first confront the fifth prince's side. Become
A pawn in front of the horse will definitely die."
Mr. Qu was really embarrassed. Then he thought about whether this letter was written by him.
"Then we don't have to worry about their disturbances. I will stand still." Qu Dong said.
Mr. Qu sighed deeply, "We are not the You family. We have people behind us to support us. Of course we have the confidence. I'm afraid we won't be able to help ourselves when the time comes."
He turned around and looked at the letter in his eldest son's hand, "What is said in this letter is not alarmist. If several forces compete for it, in order to prevent one of them from becoming dominant, they are afraid that we will only be destroyed."
"But we don't know who wrote this letter. Isn't it inappropriate to agree to go to the appointment rashly?"
Qu Dong looked at the letter again. The font was really unfamiliar and the regular script was also very regular.
"I have guessed a person. If it is really him, I can only say that he is very cautious."
Qu Liang's heart moved, "Father, you mean the concubine of the Su family? He was the one who sent people to contact us before and wanted to cooperate with our Qu family."
Mr. Qu nodded. In fact, the second son was smarter than the eldest son. It was a pity that the second son was a little eager for quick success and quick gain and was not as stable as the eldest son.
"Then is he trying to deceive us? The fourth prince has been worrying about Master Zheng recently, and maybe he can't take care of our Qu family!" Qu Liang said, stroking his hands.
"So what? If we don't agree to his invitation this time, the Fourth Prince may immediately send someone to recruit our family. It's not difficult for him to secretly reveal the news. Besides, the Fourth Prince will come back to his senses sooner or later.
Yes, then we will be even more passive."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Qu let out a long sigh, "I still have to go see him after all."
"How dare he do this? Isn't this a threat?" Qu Dong frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
"To them, our Qu family is just one of their chess pieces. What kind of affection can we say? Those people are never merciful in their calculations. They fight without bloodshed in the court. Isn't it rare that a family can be destroyed with just a word?
If the people don't fight with the officials, that's it."
Mr. Qu glanced at his innocent eldest son and suddenly felt that it was time for the Qu family to grow up.
"Forget it! I just want to meet him and see how he arranges it and whether it is beneficial to us, and then we can discuss it."
Old Mrs. Qu waved his hand and had some thoughts in his mind.
"Master, the letter has been sent." The waiter hurried back to report.
Su Yizhao picked the wick with a silver needle, and then asked: "Where is the reply?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "I can only reply verbally. I will accept it."
Su Yizhao smiled, "This old man from the Qu family is really cautious. Since I have agreed, you can go and inform Shopkeeper Jin about tomorrow's banquet."
As night falls, Su Yizhao will be practicing calligraphy or painting in his study at this hour, but today is different.
She curled up on the Arhat couch, sweat dripping from her forehead.
I had throbbing pain in my lower abdomen and my body felt a little cold.
It's not winter yet, and although it's a bit cold, it's not the time to use the charcoal basin.
If I ask Platycodon to light the charcoal basin, I'm afraid it will arouse Platycodon's suspicion.
She had read relevant books in her previous life. In ancient times, girls matured prematurely and would get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. They must have developed before that.
Since she had never been to Kuishui before, she didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, just today, she would come to Kuishui. She was caught off guard.
Fortunately, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and the pain in her lower abdomen became familiar to her, so she immediately went to the toilet, otherwise it would be stained on her clothes.
Kikyo had been dealing with her clothes, so to avoid her finding out, Su Yizhao secretly cut the material for the lining in the house into strips, planning to deal with it first.
I remembered that there was still some cotton in the space, so I would sew some simple sanitary napkins for myself.
Suddenly I thought that I don’t know how to be a female celebrity, forget it! I’ll ask Platycodon to make some small cloth bags for me tomorrow.
After you get it back, stuff it with cotton and seal it yourself.
Su Yizhao was a little confused from the pain and began to think wildly.
I didn't expect it to be so painful the first time.
I am already thirteen years old this year. According to the time of menarche for women in ancient times, this is considered too late.
Suddenly hearing a slight noise from the window, Su Yizhao immediately looked over alertly.
The noise was probably not lovesickness, but suddenly there were a few soft knocks outside the window.
Su Yizhao suddenly thought of someone, and it seemed that only he would come in through the window.
Sure enough, the window was gently opened, and then the other person appeared in the house.
"Your habit of not locking the windows is really bad." As soon as the visitor entered the study, he said to himself.
Su Yizhao did not have the habit of locking the windows before leaving the study. It was for ventilation in summer and to light the charcoal pot in winter.
In spring and autumn, cold air is needed to keep her mind clear.
After glancing at the person who came, Su Yizhao said angrily: "If I locked the window, wouldn't you be able to get in?"
"So, you left it for me?" Zong Zeming suddenly felt inexplicably happy. Could it be that he was waiting for him to come over every day?
Just when he was about to tease Su Yizhao, he saw that Su Yizhao was uncharacteristically lying on the Arhat couch today.
He immediately approached the other party, and when he saw the pale face under the candlelight, he immediately frowned.
"What's going on? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you injured?"
I walked quickly to Su Yizhao and finally met such a smart person. I might have to serve him in the future! There can be no mistakes.
After getting closer, I finally noticed the cold sweat on Su Yizhao's forehead.
He couldn't help but feel anxious, "What's wrong with you? I'll take you out to find a doctor!"
Zong Zeming knew that it was not appropriate for him to appear here at this time, so he wanted to pick up Su Yizhao and go to the city to find the doctor.
Su Yizhao quickly refused, "No! I just had a bad stomach and felt a little uncomfortable. I had prepared pills before, but after taking them, I feel much better."
