With a bang, a head fell out, and Ning Yi caught it in his hand. Lime flew everywhere in the yard.
After a while, Ning Yi held up the head and looked at it. In the afternoon scene, screams began to sound, and the chickens and dogs were jumping.
This scene took place in the small courtyard of the Qin Mansion. Ning Yi came over for a banquet, and was accompanied by his wife Tan'er and maid Xiaochan. There were many people in the yard. In addition to the maids carrying boxes and luggage, there were also people who came out to greet them.
Mrs. Qin and Qin Siyuan, accompanied by their eldest son, also appeared at the side entrance of the courtyard not far away. Not far away, a handsome young correctional officer looked at each other in disbelief with the tough man who rushed over to hold the box.
Today's invitation banquet stems from the news yesterday that Mr. Qin received the news from his second son Qin Shaoqian that he would be home this afternoon. It was already confirmed, so he invited Ning Yi and his wife to come. At first, it was in the nature of a cleansing banquet, but in the end
The main thing is that Ning Yi saved Mr. Qin, which is a great favor. Although Mr. Qin only takes it seriously and has not expressed too much now, as a son, Qin Shaohe or Qin Shaoqian, it is necessary for him to do so.
Ning Yi had always been friends with Mr. Qin, so he simply made an invitation at this time to express the closeness of the two families in the form of a family banquet.
Yes, this became the first meeting between Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian.
Being able to come to Qin's house for a banquet was really treated as a very important matter for Tan'er at this time. Although Ning Yi had followed Ning Yi to Qin's house to pay New Year's greetings a few months ago, at that time Ning Yi
More of a visit to the old man as a chess friend.
Tan'er is a sensible person, and she knows that this old man is knowledgeable or has a considerable status." But in the past, she admired some literati, and she also longed for the gentleman's friendship with her husband. When visiting her, she only regarded herself as a gentleman.
"My wife" has no utilitarian intentions. But this time it is inevitable that something will be different.
First of all, she also became more aware of the old man's past scenery. It was only after meeting Qin Shaohe that she roughly figured out that "the former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel" was in her heart, that he was a high official one step away from the emperor." When she heard the name, she was shocked.
I feel so dizzy, just like a modern Chinese person suddenly finds out that he has met a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
On the other hand, it was also because Qin Shaohe had a few words with her the last time they met. At that time, Qin Shaohe kept a low profile. He knew that the Su family was in business and Su Tan'er was even at the helm." He couldn't help but say
The last two cordial and sincere words. In official circles, such words are clear hints." Su Tan'er naturally understood, and knew that from now on, the Su family's business would be under the care of Qin Shaohe, at least in Jiangzhou.
In fact, Qin Shaohe was not showing favors, and Su Tan'er was not frightened at the slightest hint. But just as he was happy to have Zhizhou as a backer that day, he later inevitably realized that the Qin family was very important. From then on, Su Tan'er
My family is different from other people’s families.” So when I went out today, I dressed myself up very dignified and beautiful, and spent half an afternoon in the room, even the little girl. Ning Yi watched helplessly and amusedly. In fact, in the past
Su Tan'er was also educated as a lady, and if she acted calmly, she would have the air of a dignified and elegant young lady. "With such trouble, she actually looks younger," covering up her confident and calm temperament.
However, it is quite interesting.
As a result, when the three of them came over, they happened to meet the second young master of the Qin family arriving home. The maids and servants in the mansion were busy moving their luggage in. A little maid next to Ning Yi moved a long box that was erected and trotted in.
A bearded man saw it and shouted: "Be careful! Cui'er, be careful..." and ran towards me.
The industrious maid named Cui'er was blocked from view by the long box. When she heard her shouting, she suddenly stopped there and swayed around several times: "Huh? What... what? What did the second master say?"
," Ning Yi kindly wanted to reach out to help, but the bearded man over there also rushed over, and in a hurry, with a bang, the top grid of the long box opened, and something fell out like a ball." Ning Yi stretched out his hand.
As soon as he grabbed it, the sky was filled with lime. For a moment, he thought he had been attacked by a sneak attack. Fortunately, the lime was not thick at all.
For a long time, the yard was in chaos. "Some people shouted: "Head, head, head, head, head..." Others shouted: "Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone..." They all sounded longer, and the bearded man was a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to.
He was about to take the thing from Ning Yi's hand. He hesitated and didn't know what to say. Just when he was about to make up his mind and reach out, the little maid holding the box next to her raised her head and looked forward several times. She realized that she
After putting something in the box in his arms, he rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground. Big Beard was busy catching her: "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, don't faint. I told you not to move...
"The feeling of holding a dead head in your hand is naturally not very pleasant, and it is held with one hand. Fortunately, Ning Yi was very calm," he held the head for a long time, and then turned it in front of his eyes.
He just nodded and looked at the bearded man holding the little maid: "This is the assassin's head..."
What was in his hand at this time was the head of the big man who had one of his eyes injured by a musket. Ning Yi knew the bravery of this group of people and had asked Lu Agui about it. He just thought that this group of people fled north, and one of them had
His kung fu can probably be compared with that of Lu Hongti. The man's name was Lu Tuo, and he was not from the Liao Dynasty. He was a famous bandit in the south, known as the fierce Yama. He killed officials and rebelled. Later, it is said that he was subdued and disappeared.
This group of Liao people were able to escape this time mainly because there were forces close to the Liao people operating among them. It is thought that masters like Lu Tuo were sent to protect them." They have been running away without a trace these days. I didn't expect the second young master of the Qin family to come back.
"The family was only a few days late" and took their heads back.
In the past, I heard that Qin Shaoqian held the position of a partial general in the army, serving as a casual errand, with no major achievements. Now it seems that these two sons of the Qin family are probably not simple.
When he took the head in his hand and looked at it, Qin Siyuan had also come over, so he also showed it to him. The old man was not afraid of the dead head. He only frowned and glanced twice, nodded with Ning Yi, and confirmed that it was
One of the assassins that day, Qin Shao and the bearded Qin Shaoqian, who had a happy face and was hugging the maid, laughed: "Haha, it's them, these short-sighted guys fled all the way" and revealed their whereabouts in Xuzhou.
They were discovered near Crow Mountain in the south. I happened to catch up at that time and gathered a group of people to beat them to death, hahahaha. However, a powerful guy with scars all over his body escaped. Damn it...
"
When he said this, he looked at his father next to him and his mother not far away, and changed his words: "Sincerely, sincerely, my mother...it doesn't matter, sooner or later we will catch him..."
Miao Shaohe touched his chin: "The one who escaped is called Lu Tuo. He is the most difficult to deal with. However, he did not participate in the assassination that day. The other three "were all killed?"
The bearded Qin Shaoqian nodded: "Of course, ah, Xiaohu, come here quickly and put the things in this brother's hands into the box. My mother doesn't like to see this thing..., I just said," they will kill them.
What bad idea did you come up with? You brought the heads back to show off. They assassinated my father. This is a public case and should be handed over to the government. "If we bring the heads back, doesn't it become a personal vendetta?" We must not do this next time... No.
"There's no next time...Dad" This really wasn't my idea..."
Qin Siyuan looked at his son and sighed, Qin Shaohe wanted to laugh but was not funny. The handsome man called Xiaohu quickly came over to pick up the head and put the head into the box. At this time, the box was still in the hands of the maid Xiaocui.
Holding her in Qin Shaoqian's arms, she woke up swaying in Qin Shaoqian's arms and blinked. Then her eyes widened, her head tilted, and she fainted again. Suddenly there was another chaos, and someone rushed over to help support her.
, While pinching people, Qin Shaoqian frowned in distress: "Well, this is not good for your health. Do you want to call a doctor?"
The delicate little maid was a little helpless, fearing that she would scare people into falling ill.
After such an uproarious incident, they introduced each other after a while, and they no longer seemed unfamiliar. Qin Shaoqian was much younger than his elder brother Qin Shaohe. He was only in his early thirties this year. It is said that there was a relationship between the two.
A brother died not long after he was born. He had a big beard. "At first glance, he looked rough, but in fact his eyes and outline looked young. If he had shaved off his beard, he might have had the baby face of a Confucian general."
The young man following him was called Xu Xiaohu. He was tall and handsome. According to Qin Shaoqian, he was extremely skilled in martial arts. Therefore, he was often dragged into fights in the military camp, and they became brothers of life and death.
Although Qin Shaoqian tried to portray himself as a soldier and ruffian in his words, in Ning Yi's opinion, the actions of these two people are still very different from the soldiers and ruffians. He is not very familiar with the soldiers of this era."
I just feel this way slightly.
Then Mrs. Qin asked Ning Yi to go to the side room to wash his hands. After all, the hands were scratched with dead heads and lime, and there were a lot of messy things on them. They had to be washed several times. Tan'er followed and said, "I want to wash my hands."
Ning Yi washed off the filth on her hands. Ever since she saw the head, she had been standing next to Ning Yi with her lips pursed. There was an element of force in it. At this time, Ning Yi could not help but feel something on her hands.
Even though they were dry and sticky, she had to drag her own hands to wash them for her. She felt a little sorry and smiled and said that she could just do it herself." Tan'er just shook her head.
She dressed herself up exquisitely today." She shook her head and pursed her red lips tightly. It was obvious that she was holding back a lot, but she took a towel and wiped off the lime on Ning Yi's hand. Ning Yi was slightly confused, thinking that this was a plan to do something in Qin Dynasty.
The couple showed their deep love as a couple in front of their family, but looking back, except for Xiao Chan at the door preparing to change the water, Qin Siyuan and others did not come over at this time." In a second of thought, Tan'er had already taken his hand and dipped it into the basin.
Then he took the osmanthus soap next to him and washed him. After washing once, he changed the water several times. In addition to washing him, Tan'er also washed his own hands several times.
Ning Yi frowned and asked several times, and then he saw her frowning in distress: "That...that's a human head." It looked scary..."
"Um."
Tan'er pursed her lips: "My husband touched that thing with his hand, and when he touched it tonight, I... always feel goosebumps...", "Uh... then you have to do it for me personally.
wash?"
When talking about being touched by Ning Yi's hands at other people's homes, Tan'er's face turned slightly red, but she still lowered her head: "After washing like this, I know that my hands are clean.
Be mentally prepared and you won’t be afraid at night..."
Ning* was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed. Su Caoer's temperament was different from that of ordinary women. If Ning Yi washed it himself, no matter how many times she washed it, she would probably feel that Ning Yi's hands were unclean.
There was nothing she could do about it. She wanted to overcome the hurdle in her heart, so she took Ning Yi and washed her hands together. The two of them used a basin of water. In short, she was the same as Ning Yi, and there was no such hurdle in her heart.
Ning Yi looked at the white fingers in the water that had been washed several times and were still washing his hands. He felt a little moved for a moment.
After washing like this several times, it was almost done, and then I saw the two brothers Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian coming in from the door with a smile. After saying hello, Qin Shaoqian patted Ning Yi on the shoulder hard and said with a smile: "That was really right."
I can't help it, but Brother Ning is really a man. I have never seen any elegant scholar in the past who can grab a human head without changing his expression. But that is the head of a Liao man." Let's treat it as a dog head.
I came to see it and then left, haha.”
"I will support you until my death." Ning Yi smiled and held up his hands, "However," Brother Qin said just now that those people were beaten to death by Minzhuang, "I'm afraid that's not true."
He didn't have much confidence in his heart. He just looked at Qin Shaoqian's expressions before and after, and tested the car a little bit. "Sure enough, after he asked," Qin Shaoqian laughed. Qin Shaohe also smiled and said: "Father said that Li Heng has great eyesight." Sure enough, after he asked, Qin Shaoqian laughed.
It’s true, this kid usually wields swords and guns, but this time he comes in handy.” He was nearly forty years old at this time, and Qin Shaohe was also in his early thirties, but he still called him “this kid”. The two brothers of the Qin family used to
The relationship here can also be roughly seen.
Qin Shaoqian smiled and curled his lips at this time: "Ha" it's a good thing that he died in my hands now. "Otherwise, his future will be ruined. I will kill him in the Liao Kingdom and take the lives of his whole family." He said this with a smile on his face.
Then there was a surge of anger. "Young Zhou's face, which originally looked young, gradually became as majestic as Mr. Qin. But this momentum only lasted less than a moment." In the blink of an eye, he became grinning, but his brother was on his shoulder.
He took a few approving photos, but he didn't know what he had captured, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Is it evil?" Qin Shaohe asked doubtfully.
"Brother, I'm injured on the back." Qin Shaoqian took a breath of air and just raised his finger to point to his shoulder. Qin Shaohe picked up his collar and looked inside: "Is the injury serious? You...
…”
"Don't tell mother, don't tell mother." The bearded Qin Shaoqian endured the pain and waved his hands desperately, and whispered, "Damn, Xiaohu and I were the only two people at that time. These Liao dogs were not easy to kill, so we got stabbed in the back."
I lost three of their lives... Oh wu wu wu, it's worth it, but it hurts so much. Don't tell your mother. I didn't dare to take too heavy medicine for fear of being smelled. Brother Ning, please help cover it up.
, I'm most afraid of my mother crying..."
Qin Shaohe frowned: "You are so seriously injured and you have to stay at home for so many days. My mother cares about you the most. How can you hide it?"
"Wei, only hold on until you die——"
This is what Ning Yi said just now. When he said it with a bared teeth, several people in the room laughed. There was also a bit of admiration in the smile. Ning Yi remembered how many copies he had at home.
The wound medicine left by Lu Hongti was good for treating external injuries, and the smell of the medicine was not strong. He immediately asked someone to deliver it in the evening. Qin Shaoqian was cheerful and grateful.
Then several people walked towards the living room, and only halfway through, they saw Yun Niang and two women walking by carrying some things. Qin Shaohe and Qin Shaoqian both called themselves Aunt Yun. Obviously, they were not related to this woman.
Qin's concubine, who is also in her early thirties, has a good relationship, but the two women following Yun Niang made Ning Yi slightly stunned. "One of these two people is Nie Yunzhu, and the other is Yuan Jin'er. The Qin family this time
The banquet was intended to be a thank you, and Yunzhu's relationship with the Qin Mansion was already good. Ning Yi invited them over this time, but Ning Yi didn't know that they looked like family members of the Qin Mansion, helping to prepare the dinner.
Yun Niang led them, probably because they had something else to do, and gave them a brief introduction before heading to the backyard. Tan'er naturally recognized Yuan Jin'er. But in other people's homes, she wouldn't show curiosity. When Yunzhu saw them, she seemed to have known about them for a long time.
Ning Yi was about to come, so when Tan'er wasn't paying attention, he gave Ning Yi a narrow and playful smile, bowed generously, and went to the backyard.
After a while, he went to the living room and chatted with Mr. Qin for a few words. When Yunzhu and the others came back, they clearly saw the old man Qin Siyuan also showing a slightly narrow smile. Ning Yi was also a little helpless, the old man knew that he and Mr.
Regarding the relationship between Yunzhu and the distress between the two of them, in the past, Ning Yi was just a mediocre person. But he also had a good impression of Nie Yunzhu, a woman. This casual banquet made Ning Yi feel a bit like the two of them playing chess on weekdays.
The old man's killing moves are average.
In normal chess games, Ning Yi either takes an eccentric approach or makes a big move. In short, his style is obvious, but the old man is upright and calm, holding the mean. This time, when his chess piece falls, it really makes people feel the unavoidable pressure."
On the other hand, it is really moisturizing and silent, making people unable to get angry at all...
