Chapter 281 Unexpected visitor
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that she would be accused of being a killer after going to Qin Mansion. However, what she encountered in Qin Mansion today made her completely give up the idea of staying in the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival and prepare to leave for Le'an early tomorrow morning.
"Dad, I'm back." Qin Xiaoxiao walked to the yard and saw that Qin Shan had not gone out for shopping and was sitting under the shade of a tree eating melon seeds, so he walked over silently and leaned on his lap without moving.
"What's wrong? Did you not eat well or play well?" Seeing that his daughter was listless, Qin Shan felt unhappy and hurriedly spat out the melon seed peels and rubbed two handfuls on her head.
"The snacks in Qin Mansion are delicious, and the sisters are also fun, but I almost got into trouble." Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to hide anything, and was about to tell Qin Shan about Qin Zhichen's fall.
"What? What trouble did you get into?" Qin Shan was so frightened, thinking that his daughter was not strict with her words and went to the Qin Mansion to say something that would bring trouble to others. What he was most worried about was not the retaliation from the Qin Mansion, but the fear of his daughter's
The secret is known.
Seeing that his father was so frightened, Qin Xiaoxiao lowered his head and whispered the truth about Qin Zhichen falling and hurting his head.
"Hey, you girl, you almost scared dad to death!" Qin Shan caressed his chest and showed an expression that said: "For such a trivial matter, dad thought you gave someone a bloody head and missing arms.
My leg is broken."
Qin Xiaoxiao thought he was joking, looked at her thin arms and legs, and said resentfully: "If your daughter is so powerful, will she let others chase her?"
Qin Shan laughed loudly and said proudly: "That boy will bully you again and again, and you won't be able to get back. My daughter is not very powerful!"
Qin Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Dad, don't you think I'm wrong?"
Qin Shan waved his hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and ate them with gusto: "What's your fault? That kid bullied you, it's your fault that you didn't run away!"
Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved, stood up on tiptoes and kissed Qin Shan on the face: "Dad, you are so kind!"
Qin Shan was silly and rubbed her head again and again: "Silly girl, I am your father. I will not be good to anyone but you."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded fiercely: "I am your daughter, and I am good to you." As he said that, he carefully peeled the melon seeds with his little paws, and put the peeled melon seed kernels into Qin Shan's hand.
Qin Shan stopped eating and happily waited for his daughter to peel the melon seeds.
Li Yingran ordered the housekeeper to prepare gifts under the eaves, and sent them to the Qin Mansion to calm Qin Zhichen's shock. She listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, and once again lamented that Qin Xiaoxiao was lucky and had a father who was dedicated to her good.
Today's incident, if it were other parents, even if they knew that the fault was not with their children, they would severely reprimand them for various concerns, teach them to be careful in their words and actions, and never offend others. If similar things happen in the future, don't just run away, let alone run away.
Can't resist.
Just like when she was walking outside when she was young, her parents would tell her to support those with higher status than her in every word and deed, and to try to be patient if there was a conflict.
Although I understand my parents' painstaking efforts, with my eldest uncle as a comparison, even if I know that his words are inappropriate, I can't help but feel a bit envious of a younger generation.
The Qin Mansion accepted the gift from Li Yingran and returned two boxes of rouge that Li Yingran had praised. I don't know whether he forgot to prepare it or for other reasons, but Qin Xiaoxiao, who was also frightened, had nothing.
The Qin family's father and daughter didn't know the importance of giving gifts to wealthy families, so they naturally didn't think it was anything special. Li Yingran couldn't help but think about it, and when Qin He returned home in the evening, she mentioned it to him.
"Master Qin is not a narrow-minded person and will not embarrass us over such a trivial matter." Qin He comforted his wife and did not take this matter to heart: "Even if Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin blame and smile in their hearts, they will not blame us."
What are you doing with a smile?"
Li Yingran knew that the Qin family would not hate them for this matter, but she just felt it was a pity: "Mrs. Qin really likes Xiaoxiao. If this love lasts for a long time, maybe it is Xiaoxiao's good fortune."
Qin He understood his wife's intention and secretly told Xiaoxiao to get close to the Qin Mansion. It was not certain who was the destiny of the other.
With this thought in his mind, he had no intention of telling Qin Xiaoxiao's secret to Li Yingran, and said vaguely: "From now on, Xiaoxiao will have to worry about dad and the others. Let's just take care of our family."
Li Yingran misunderstood and mistakenly thought that her husband was worried about being thankless and did not want to care about her niece's affairs, so she had to say: "Xiaoxiao is still young. I really can't see what will happen in the future. It won't be too late to see in a few years."
Qin He nodded, his pressure doubled. He had not forgotten what Mr. Qin had told him in private, and knew that he had to work hard to climb up and protect his little niece from wind and rain in the future.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the four of them had dinner and were ready to go outside to eat. Before they could go out, the concierge invited a few people in, and it turned out to be Jing Heng.
It turned out that Jingheng got a basket of fresh and plump crabs yesterday. He thought Qin Xiaoxiao would like it, so he ordered Shitou to send half of it to Le'an overnight. As a result, Shitou arrived at the small courtyard on a fast horse and got Qin Xiaoxiao as the top pick.
News from the government.
Shi Shi left the big crab behind and rushed back to inform Jing Heng, so Jing Heng rushed to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion after dinner.
Qin Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she jumped around holding Jingheng's arm. She couldn't believe that Jingheng came to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion to find her.
Others did not expect that, knowing that Jingheng was here for Qin Xiaoxiao, they greeted Jingheng and then consciously left, leaving the main hall to the two of them.
"Brother Li, how did you know I was here?" Qin Xiaoxiao sat next to Jingheng, the joy in her eyes seemed to overflow.
Jingheng told her about the crab gift with a straight face, then tapped her on the forehead with his finger: "You come to the capital and don't tell me, you have no conscience!"
Qin Xiaoxiao felt extremely aggrieved, and explained babously: "I didn't know that dad was going to take me to the capital, so I couldn't tell you in advance; I didn't know where your home was, so I couldn't find you!"
Jing Heng still had a sullen face, and his tone became more and more unkind: "I invited you to my home several times but you didn't want to, so you don't know where to find me. It's also your fault!"
Qin Xiaoxiao felt that it couldn't be calculated that way, but she didn't want to argue with Jing Heng: "Okay, let's just think it's my fault this time. What do you want to do?"
This was what Jingheng was waiting for, and he immediately said: "Go to my house tomorrow and I'll ask Shitou to pick you up. Next time you come to the capital, you won't be able to find me."
Qin Xiaoxiao was very excited, but also very embarrassed: "I will go back early tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to go to your house to play."
Jing Heng's face became increasingly ugly, and he turned his head and refused to pay attention to her.
Qin Xiaoxiao thought that in the past, Brother Li would come all the way to her home to find her, always bringing her all kinds of delicious and fun things, but she had never looked for Brother Li once, and she didn't even know where Brother Li's home was.
I can't help but feel guilty.
"Brother Li, don't be angry. I'll tell my father and if he agrees, I'll go to your house, okay?" The little girl shook his arm, knowing how to coax people.
Jing Heng's expression did not change, and his voice did not soften: "If Uncle Qin doesn't agree, you won't go?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was about to nod, but when she saw that his expression was not right, she quickly shook her head: "My father will agree."
Jingheng was reluctantly satisfied and raised his chin: "Go and talk now, or come with me tonight."
Qin Xiaoxiao was not sure about persuading Qin Shan at all, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy when Jing Heng urged her. But she still had to do what she had just agreed to, so she said "ok" and went out to look for Qin Shan.
Sure enough, Qin Shan wouldn't let her go to Jing Heng's house at all.
Firstly, they had been delayed for a day, and they were afraid that they would be worried if they did not return home for a long time; secondly, the little girl had a secret, and they were worried about being discovered. The most important thing was that he didn’t even know Jingheng’s identity, so how could he trust his daughter?
take away.
Qin Xiaoxiao pestered Qin Shan, acting coquettishly and begging, promising that she would be obedient, not talk nonsense, and come back as soon as she knew the door, so Qin Shan finally let go.
Qin Shan was worried that she would go to Jing's house alone, so he told Qin He and Li Yingran about this and asked them to arrange a smart and steady maid who would follow Qin Xiaoxiao every step of the way.
Li Yingran directly arranged for Jimei without saying anything.
Before, she thought that Jingheng didn't take her husband's family seriously, so she refused to reveal her identity. Now she realized that her husband's family didn't want Qin Xiaoxiao to go to Jingheng's house.
She felt that it was a good thing for Qin Xiaoxiao to be a guest at Jingheng's house. If he could fall in love with that man like he fell in love with Mrs. Qin, it would be a real blessing for Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao ran to the main hall happily and told Jingheng the good news.
"Okay, Shitou will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning." Jing Heng finally showed a smile and was already thinking about how to take her to have fun tomorrow.
Seeing him smiling, Qin Xiaoxiao also smiled. Suddenly he remembered something and asked quickly: "Brother Li, don't you have to study tomorrow?"
Jingheng's smile faltered, and he lied with his eyes open: "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and school is on holiday."
Qin Xiaoxiao thought of herself and said pitifully: "My husband only allowed me three days' leave. Including tomorrow, I will be delayed for two days. My husband will definitely get angry and hit me."
Jing Heng frowned and told Dabu: "Let Mr. Xu know, and then go to the small courtyard to inform Grandma Qin, so as not to worry them."
Da Bu quickly agreed and planned to leave overnight.
Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved, thanked Da Sermon, and began to flatter Jing Heng: "Sir, he really likes Brother Li. He said before that if I were half as smart as Brother Li, he wouldn't have to worry about losing his hair.
.”
Jing Heng knew that with Xu Ze's temperament, it was impossible to say such a thing, but he still felt good about being coaxed. Thinking that Xu Ze would only stay in Le'an for a year at most, his heart moved and he asked: "When Mr. Xu returns to Beijing, what will happen?"
Who will teach you?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and became depressed: "I don't know, my parents didn't tell me."
At the beginning of the year, the little girl knew that Xu Ze could only teach her for two years, and she was depressed for a long time. Although Xu Ze was very strict and gave her a slap in the face from time to time, she also learned a lot from Xu Ze.
Especially after comparing with the masters in Dabao Erbao School, she knew better that Xu Ze's teaching method was more suitable for her. At least she had never been scolded or beaten by Xu Ze because of academic disputes.
