Chapter 1 Unpredictable chaos

Madam Li blew her nose with a veil and said angrily: "In the past five years, I have asked him no less than ten thousand times, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and his mouth could not be pried out like a clam shell."

Sun shook his head and sneered: "There are no words in this world except for dead people. There are cold palaces and clothes washing bureaus in the palace, audit halls and purgatory in the yamen, and great families have legal rules and regulations, and they all have their own ways. You only know how to be straight and stupid, and you can't use them."

When Madam Li heard this, she hurriedly stood up to Sun, knelt down and bowed, and kept begging her, "I am an ignorant old woman, and I can't think of any clever way. Now I just want the eldest lady to be merciful and be the master of the old slave. As long as I can find my mute grandson, I will be a cow and horse in the next life to repay the eldest lady's kindness."

Wanqing's finger was poked by the point of the water chestnut. It was red and it hurts so much that she didn't have the intention to eat anymore.

When they heard them talking, they felt very bored and wanted to get up and leave, but Sun ordered her to sit down. She didn't dare to stumble against her and had to play with the veil in her hand.

Sun looked at Madam Li again and said silently: "Blasting a snake three inches, capturing the king first, you have to take a chance on his vitals. Qin Zhu was drunk and dreaming all day long, as if he was careless. Don't be deceived by him. Look, you are crazy for a grandson. How can he be so cold? If you need someone, just come and ask me for it."

Madam Li repeatedly weighed this and suddenly became enlightened: "Is the eldest lady referring to Qin Xing?"

"I didn't say anything." Sun picked up a piece of snow lotus root, and the watery threads were connected to the strands. He took a bite and chewed until he swallowed it into his throat before he could taste the faint sweetness at the tip of his tongue.

It was still too early to pick it, but it was still tender.

Madam Li smiled and said that she was accustomed to being so angry that she wanted to ask for details, but Sun was lazy and asked five questions and answered them one by one, so she couldn't wait any longer and had to bow and leave.

There was no one in the room for a while, Wan Qing asked curiously: "Madam Li's words are very interesting. Is Shunyu's cousin a woman? Does my mother think it's possible?" Thinking of it, she covered her mouth and burst into laughter: "If she changed to women's clothes, he would be very beautiful."

"That old guy is crazy." Sun disagreed: "You think Shunyu studied hard at the Firefly Window in Suzhou Prefecture. After the county, government and college entrance examination, he was a scholar. Now he went to school in the Imperial College. Later, there were provincial examinations, imperial examinations and palace examinations. Not to mention academic talents, it was difficult for women to match. He ate and slept with the students. If he was a daughter, how could he not see through it?"

Wan Qing felt that this was very reasonable and asked with a smile: "Since my mother doesn't believe it, why do you teach her how to check the coachman's message?"

Sun picked up the tea bowl and glanced at her, whispering: "It's really strange that her mute grandson was thrown away. A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang said privately that the capital has not been peaceful in recent years, and a case has not been solved. A group of several people will plunder men, women, young and old, from shaving their hair, shaving their eyelashes, cutting their eyes, nose, ears, and lips, from taking their heart, lungs, intestines, and gallbladders, removing their arms and thighs, and selling them to those in need to be found. If you want to pay more money, you can help you sew and intact. Your medical skills are very clever. Her husband is a deputy to the Ministry of Justice, and this is worth it."

"Did my mother suspect that the mute servant was robbed or sold to cut the organs, or is she suspected that her second uncle was involved? He is the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and medical skills are no problem." Wan Qing's face changed, and the little girl was silent and became scared.

"Don't be afraid, your second uncle doesn't look like him. My mother just guesses, so she can give the old guy a trick to find out." Sun did not repeat it, but instead said: "You are close to the bride. He married into a powerful family in the year, and the house was not peaceful in the back house. You need to understand power and strategy when dealing with people. From tomorrow on, you often come to my room. Now it's not too late to teach you how to be a human being."

When it comes to marriage, girls are always as confused as if they are worried.

Wanqing was no exception, her face was slightly red, she nodded in agreement with a smile, and the two of them said again and left without mentioning each other.

After dinner, it was still early, Shunyu forced Mei Xun to leave the mansion and search for the residence of Qin Xing and his father Qin Zhu.

The coachman in the mansion worked hard and had no time to sit in the day and night, so he specialized in the yard to provide food and accommodation, so he could be on standby at any time.

Qin Zhuyuan also lived in the mansion. Later, he became obsessed with alcoholism and was unable to drive the carriage. He was driven out by Manager Luo and found a reason. Qin Zhong felt sorry for his misfortune and allocated some money every month, so he rented a place outside to shelter from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, not far from Qin Mansion, I walked through Jinmaoer Huer Hutong, and then passed Panjia Bridge, and turned into the narrow vegetable market alley. Because it was a night market, there were even a few wet shoes on the ground, and there were also one broken stems and one rotten leaves in the east and the west, which was dirty and messy.

Most of the vendors selling sparse fruits closed their stalls and left. In the remaining cases of meat selling, three or five people stood in a row to deal with them. There were also live fish sellers, skewed their red and tender gills with willow leaves, soaked in a pool of clear water in a shallow bucket. The fishy meat was mixed with the smell of rotten vegetable leaves, and it rushed straight to the nose.

Shunyu frowned, and as Mei Xun turned left and right in the dark alley, he finally stopped in front of the dilapidated house and pushed open the yard door. He saw that there were dark holes inside and walked forward for about ten steps. Then he saw that there was a dim candlelight shaking in a window.

But when he heard the door opened with a "squeak" sound, "Who is there?" Qin Xing plucked up his courage to shout.

"Your uncle!" After Mei Xun shouted, he sneered. Qin Xing hurriedly raised the fire note. Mei Xun and Shunyu were seen in the light. He was stunned and ran to him and asked anxiously: "Why are you here? It's small and dark, and you're tripped and fell carefully."

He said, while lowering the fire slash at Shunyu's feet, welcoming him all the way.

The house is not much better, no women clean up, it is dirty and messy everywhere, and the stuffy people can't breathe.

Shunyu asked Qin Xing to open the window sash, and a cool breeze came in and out, making her whole body feel energetic. She looked around and found a square table that was half old and not new, and sat on a long bench.

Qin Xing's father Qin Zhu sat at the table. He didn't know what kind of magic he was, so he ignored him.

In front of him was an empty wine cup with a broken corner, and next to it was a carved kiln wine jar, which was fresh and fresh. The lid was lifted, and a clear fragrance of wine flowed in his breath.

There was no wine and food, only a few dishes of fried gluten with vegetables and fried gluten, and a bowl of noodles boiled with white water, sprinkled with red peppers, and most of them were eaten.

Qin Xing twitched in the stove for a while before throwing the pot and putting tea, but he saw that the yellow in the bowl was seeping, which seemed really hard to enter.

Shunyu smiled and told him not to work hard. After eating a lot of tea, he was not thirsty now.

Qin Xing felt even more disgusted, but he was helpless. He turned his head and called his father ashamed: "I am serving Master Cousin. You have never seen him. He treats his son the best in the Qin Mansion."

Qin Zhu heard this and then slowly looked at Shun Yu. His eyes were turbid and unconscious. Somehow, he suddenly burst into tears.
