Chapter 57 Qin Zhao Returns

When Qin Zhao returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned the housekeeper and asked him about what happened in Yucheng during the few months he was away.

Butler Qin Zhong said: "It doesn't matter if anything else, but Fourth Master Xu is very troublesome. Fourth Master Xu's behavior not only aroused the anger of the people, but also most of the soldiers in the army were very dissatisfied." No one is a fool. Such arrogance is due to the power of Mrs. Qin from the Qin family! The common people are not only dissatisfied with the Xu family, but also dissatisfied with the Qin family. It's just that the Qin family is so powerful that no one dares to provoke her face.

It has to be said that the effect of the Rong family fanning the flames behind the scenes is very good. At least, the current reputation of the Qin family is already very bad.

When Qin Zhao heard that Mrs. Xu dared to write a letter to threaten Mu Tongju, he said coldly, "You won't stop such a big one?" It's nothing more than a trivial matter, and she dared to act like this when it was clearly a big deal. , for fear that others would not know how powerful the Qin family is. Thinking of this, Qin Zhao became angry all of a sudden.

Qin Zhong smiled wryly and said: "General, it's not that I didn't stop him, it's just that I didn't stop him." Because of this behavior, he was scolded bloody by Mrs. Xu.

Qin Zhao also knew Xu's temperament, so he didn't think Qin Zhong was lying.

Qin Zhong hesitated for a while, and then said to Qin Zhao: "General, the Han family also opened a school called Qingmingtang in Yucheng, and the school gathers the children of soldiers who died or were seriously injured in the barracks that Yunqing belongs to. This incident caused a great commotion in Yucheng, and now the people and soldiers in Yucheng are talking about Han's charity and benevolence."

Qin Zhao is not a fool, so he naturally knows the meaning of this: "Why don't you stop such a big thing? Let the Han family manage this school."

Qin Zhong felt that his mouth was full of bitterness: "General, I dare not stop this matter." If he dared to stop, it would be tantamount to not allowing the Han family to help those families of soldiers who are in trouble. If this spread, let alone the soldiers under Yunqing's command would be angry, even the soldiers in the Qin family's army would be chilled. After all, Yuxi's behavior was to do good deeds, and she lived a difficult life according to the Buddha. No one can guarantee that they will come back alive without incident after going to the battlefield. Under such circumstances, they naturally hope that the more people like Yuxi, the better, so that in case they have someone in their family who will follow the Buddha in the future.

A stern look flashed in Qin Zhao's eyes: "It's hidden really deep enough." The Han Yuxi he heard in the capital was an unfilial, unlucky, cold-blooded and heartless person. As for talent, I heard that he can draw and write, and that he does excellent embroidery work. There are almost no positive comments. But looking at what Han's doing now, it's not that simple.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao said: "Before Mrs. Han dies, Han Yuxi is not allowed to be filial to her. You let people let this matter out." Let people know that Han Yuxi is unfilial, at least temporarily suppress Han Yuxi, don't let her The reputation has risen further.

Qin Zhong shook his head and said, "General, many people know about this."

Qin Zhao was a little strange and asked, "Got it? Who released the news?" The capital is so far away from Yucheng, so who got the news so quickly.

Qin Zhong gave a wry smile, and said: "Mr. Han said it himself. Because of this, Mrs. Han fell ill. But what Mr. Han said is that the old lady of the Han family is ill and confused, otherwise she would leave such a The last words." It doesn't matter what Han said, but many people believed the important things.

After a pause, Qin Zhonggang said: "I felt something was wrong at the time, so I told Madam, but Madam didn't care. It's been more than a month now, if the old story is brought up again, it will be bad at that time." As soon as Qin Zhao returned to Yucheng, there were rumors of Yuxi's unfilial piety. Everyone will definitely think that Qin Zhao took the opportunity to slander Yuxi, and Qin Zhao's face will be ugly at that time.

If Yuxi was here, she would definitely not use someone like Qin Zhong. No matter what the situation is, how important the position of the housekeeper is, one must try his best to handle things well in this position.

Even if it is not handled well, the responsibility cannot be shifted to the master.

Taking advantage of his face, Qin Zhao didn't comment on Yuxi's right with Qin Zhong any more, but asked, "Apart from these two things, is there anything else?"

Qin Zhong said: "Since the general left until now, there have been four major battles and more than 20 small battles. More than 8,000 people died and more than 20,000 were injured."

I heard that Yunqing led the army in all four battles, and he won three battles and lost one. The situation is getting worse now, Qin Zhao said: "Go and call Mr. Xia over." Yun Qing's promotion from second-rank deputy general is basically a certainty. He is only a second grade right now, if Yunqing rises further, he will have to replace him.

Yuxi didn't know that Qin Zhao was very upset because of their husband and wife. After she finished eating, she called Xu Wu and asked, "Did General Qin bring the beauty back?"

Xu Wu stared at Yu Xi with wide eyes, and asked, "How did Madam know? General Qin did bring back four beauties."

Yu Xi smiled, and said, "I guessed blindly." In fact, it's not just guessing, but it's well-founded. He knew that Qin Zhao left Beijing after Qin Yue got married, and that Qin Zhao rode a horse, and all the people he brought with him also rode horses. At the normal speed, he should return to Yucheng in early November. But it's the end of the month, a full twenty days late. Furthermore, Yuxi felt that Concubine Song might not want her to live too comfortably, and would definitely cause trouble for her, and rewarding two beauties to Yunqing was the best way.

Xu Wu still said with admiration: "Madam is really amazing." Guessing wildly, such things can be guessed.

Yu Xi smiled, and asked: "You go down first! If there is anything, tell me immediately." Qin Zhao came back, which is not a good thing. However, it is useless to worry about soldiers coming to block and cover with soil. With Yunqing around, she just needs to be on guard against Qin Zhao's secret tricks.

Zi Jin and Yu Xi said: "Madam, if you let those children in the school practice martial arts, who will teach them martial arts?"

Yuxi looked at Zijin who was about to move around, and said with a smile: "What? You want to be a master? You haven't become a master yet, so you want to be someone else's master."

Zijin smiled and said: "Madam, I just want to take them to a class, and let me feel what it's like to be a master." Seeing Yuxi's lectures so well today, she felt very itchy and wanted to Go try it out.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm sure I won't stop you if you want to go, but you have to promise me that if those children can't bear the hardship or don't want to learn, you can't scold them, let alone do anything. If you scold these children, three You are not allowed to go out for a month, if you beat them, not only are you not allowed to go out for three months, you are also not allowed to eat meat."

Zijin said indifferently: "Look at what Madam said, I'm going to teach them kung fu, not to teach them, so I won't scold them."

Yuxi said: "Just remember what you said. Wait a minute, I'll go into the house to get something." After speaking, Yuxi went into the study.

Seeing this, Zijin followed in.

Yuxi took a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, handed it to Zi Jin, and said, "This set of Four Treasures of the Study is for that little girl named Jing Bai. Give it to her in private, and don't let others see it."

Zijin was a little strange: "Why did Madam just give this little girl a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" That little girl looked good, but it was not enough to impress Madam!

Yuxi said: "That child is very smart and hardworking. Seeing her seriousness, I can't help but think of me when I was a child." At that time, she was also extremely hardworking. However, fortunately, she persevered, otherwise she would not be where she is today.

Zijin took this thing and went to school.

Yuxi waited for Zijin to leave, then called Mother Qu, and asked, "How are Fan's mother and son doing in the mansion these days?" Fan's is working in the kitchen outside, and Shen Yi is also in the outer courtyard. Yuxi asked Xu Wu to choose Shen Yi, a guard who could read and write.

Qu's mother said: "Although Fan's temperament is a bit soft, she is very agile and diligent in doing things, which is good. These days Shen Yi is either reading or practicing martial arts. He doesn't go out to play. He works very hard. Even the guard Xu Everyone praises this child for his future success."

Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Observe for a while." If she has a good character, she will work hard to cultivate it. If her character is average, no matter how smart and courageous she is, she will just let it go.

After hearing this, Mother Qu knew what Yu Xi meant, and immediately said, "Don't worry, madam, I will pay attention." If madam wants to cultivate this child, she must observe carefully.

Yuxi smiled.

Mother Qu weighed it in her heart, and said, "Madam, this Qin Zhao brought four beauties back, and I don't know who he will reward."

Yuxi smiled and said: "There will definitely be one in our house, and Qin Zhao himself will definitely keep one, and the other two, one will probably be given to his confidants, and the other will probably be given to General Fu." Although he is an alliance, he and Fu Tianlei are good brothers who are close friends of life and death. Now Yuxi hopes that Fu Tianlei is not a man who is seduced by beauty. Otherwise, without Fu Tianlei's help, Yunqing's situation would be even worse.

After hearing this, Mother Qu asked: "Madam, if the general really brings someone back to the mansion, where will he be placed?" The front yard is where the guards live, so they must not be placed. The second courtyard is where Huo Changqing lives, and she cannot be allowed to live in the same courtyard as Huo Changqing, so how to arrange this woman is really troublesome.

Yu Xi felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and said lazily: "There is no rush, wait for the general to come back, and see what the general thinks."

Mother Qu also saw that Yuxi was in a bad mood, and said with relief: "Ma'am, we can all see how the general treats his wife. Madam must trust the general." Seeing how Yun Qing loves his wife, she is so heartbroken It's in the can.

Yu Xi didn't worry about this, Yun Qing was not a person who would be tempted by beauty. Moreover, the beauties that the emperor rewarded, who knows if they are carefully crafted: "I naturally believe in the general. I was just thinking, this time Qin Zhao has accepted a great beauty, and the Qin family will have a lot of fun to watch in the future." Xu's not She is a person who swallows his anger, how can she endure a man who robs her of her husband. At this moment, Yuxi hoped that the beauties left behind by Qin Zhao would be strong enough to fight Xu's.
