30. Chapter 30 Follow the trend(1/2)
Time passed quickly, and on the morning of the appointed day, Wei Xun's personal attendant Ning Jun drove a very large carriage out of the Qin camp. Su Qin sat firmly in the car and lowered the curtain to avoid being stared at.
Su Qin made the carriage circle half a circle outside Quwo City before entering the city through the east gate. He still wanted to cover up his actions and make his actions more covert.
Because there was Chen Xu's token, the defenders happily let him go. Su Qin secretly memorized the road from the east gate to Chen Xu's mansion last time, so the carriage arrived at the gate of Chen Xu's mansion smoothly. Ning Jun stopped the carriage at
Waiting on one side of the mansion gate, Su Qin entered Chen's mansion alone.
Chen Xu also knew that Su Qin was coming today, but he didn't expect that he would come so early. He was sorting out the slips in the study. After receiving the report from Butler Shen, he was not in a hurry. After finishing everything, he walked out to the first courtyard.
, go to see Su Qin.
Su Qin had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He wanted to rush in and scold Chen Xuan several times, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still held back. He secretly cursed Chen Xun in his heart for being such an old fox.
Su Qin was angry and anxious, but when he saw Chen Xiang, he actually did the opposite, pretending to be particularly enthusiastic, and quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Ah, General Chen, you are busy with military affairs.
It’s really hard for you to have to bother you to handle this matter personally.”
Seeing that Su Qin was very respectful and polite to him, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have a look of arrogance on his face. He replied: "It's better for me to handle this matter with you personally, so as not to cause trouble and let someone abduct the dancer from the house."
."
Su Qin could certainly hear the sarcasm in Chen Need's words, but he still did not change his enthusiasm. He said: "Whoever dares to abduct your General Chen's dancer is very brave. I wonder if General Chen is ready.
I’ll go pick them up right now.”
Chen Need confidently replied: "No problem, just go, we are ready." In fact, Chen Need didn't reveal any information to anyone in the music and dance class, so there was no talk of preparation.
Su Qin followed Chen Xu and Butler Shen to the second wing of the courtyard, where the music and dance class held daily activities. Entering the room, Su Qin found three dancers playing instruments there, and Wei Jia, sister and brother were not there.
Su Qinxin said: "This is what you Chen Need said is ready. I think you are deliberately causing trouble."
He suppressed all the unhappiness in his heart and still put on a smile and said, "Why don't you see anyone else? Where are the Wei Jia sisters?" Chen You asked Butler Shen to go to each room in the wing to look for people. After a while, everyone arrived.
together.
Wei Jia and others were summoned temporarily and didn't understand what was going on. When they saw Su Qin, they were surprised and completely confused.
Seeing everyone coming, Chen Need cleared his throat and said slowly: "Mr. Su Qin came here this time to buy a music and dance class and take it to Qin. Of course, he will not come back. As for him, he was here last time
I saw your wonderful performances here, and I want to pick a few of you to take away. If you are willing, just let them go. If you are not willing, we will not force you. After all, the conditions in Qin are worse."
When Su Qin heard that he specifically added "poor conditions", he was trembling with anger and thought: "You are clearly trying to dissuade them from following me, but you are not asking them to do it voluntarily." He couldn't help but worry about whether he could take Meng Ting away.
He hurriedly continued what Chen Xu had said: "If anyone is willing to go, we will pay him a big price. It will be cost-effective for everyone to make a windfall. And if you don't want to continue working in the future, you can come and go freely."
There was an obvious contradiction in what Chen Need and Su Qin said. One said no and the other said yes, which made it very difficult for everyone. Su Qin winked at Wei Jia and his sister, and then Wei Jia understood. He said, "I am willing to go."
Xiangye then expressed his willingness to leave. As for the others, they shook their heads.
At this time, Meng Ting was biting her lips and said as if it was particularly difficult to say: "Little girl, I have nothing to worry about here. If Mr. Su can promise to give me fifty gold every year, I would be willing to give it a try. After all, music and dance are such a profession.
This is a job for young people, and it will be useless when you get old, so it is better to earn more money while you are young."
After hearing what Meng Ting said, Chen Need couldn't believe it was true. He didn't expect Meng Ting to make such a choice. He originally thought that Meng Ting had suffered deeply from the people of Qin and would never go to Qin no matter what.
However, what Meng Ting said about making more money while you are young is also true in this industry. Chen Need cursed in his heart: "Okay, you Meng Ting turned out to be a person who loves money and forgets justice. I really misjudged you.
Only then did you show your true colors, and it was in vain that I, Chen Need, valued you so much."
When Chen Need thought of this, he simply turned away without even looking at Meng Ting.
Meng Ting's words were very pleasant to Su Qin's ears, because he finally fulfilled his promise to take Meng Ting away. He felt that Meng Ting was a very affectionate and righteous woman, and this time she went to Qin solely because of her affection for him.
Su Qin was particularly moved when he thought of this.
Wei Jia didn't think so. She said in her heart: "You vixen, how can you feel at ease following us?" However, Su Qin had made a promise first, and everyone who was willing to go to Qin would take it with him. Her status at this time was not suitable to raise the issue.
Objection. Thinking that he would have to face Meng Ting, Wei Jia felt itchy with hatred.
Su Qin was satisfied after receiving these three people. He asked the three of them to simply pack their luggage and set off immediately. Things were so rushed that the three of them had no time to take away too much luggage, so they only took the soft stuff and followed Su Qin to the outside of the house.
.
Su Qin asked Butler Shen to call the servants from Chen Xun's house and move all the five hundred gold coins on the carriage into Chen Xun's house. When Chen Xu saw the five hundred gold coins, he knew that it was a gift of thanks from Wei Xuan, and he had also met with him before.
Su Qin agreed, so he didn't refuse.
When the Wei Jia siblings said goodbye to Chen Xu, they burst into tears. Chen Xu also had tears in his eyes. The true feelings between them were revealed, and Su Qin was immediately moved by it. He thought: "In fact, Chen Xu has sacrificed a lot to keep Quwo."
It cost a lot, not only breaking up my music and dance class, but also giving up the Wei Jia siblings who have been together for more than ten years."
Su Qin thought about it again: "Why Chen You insists that the members of the music and dance class choose voluntarily? It is probably because he is still reluctant to break up the music and dance class that he has cooperated with for more than ten years."
Butler Shen led the way on horseback, Ning Jun drove the carriage, Su Qin, Wei Jia and others went to the inn to pick up the other dancers they had bought. The carriage happened to pass by a cloth shop, and Meng Ting mentioned that she did not bring enough clothes and wanted to buy some silk
After Hebu arrived in Qin, he had some clothes cut. Su Qin thought it was reasonable, so he dropped her off halfway and made an appointment to pick her up when he left the city.
Su Qin went to the inn and saw the dancers bought by Butler Shen. There were six dancers in total, four girls and two boys. They were all in their teens. Their dancing and music skills were not obvious at the moment, but they were all pretty. Su Qin was very satisfied and took out a ball from his arms.
I gave the gold ingot to Butler Shen as a token of gratitude. Butler Shen showed humility but didn't really refuse.
These young dancers have been bought back and forth since childhood and have no personal freedom. Even if their master sells them, they dare not resist. Butler Shen explained to them that people from the Qin State bought them, and specifically emphasized that the new master's family provided them with
These people have mixed feelings about the higher salary, and of course it is inevitable to whisper among themselves.
Su Qin followed the dancers in the inn and went to find Meng Ting. From a distance, he saw her holding a piece of cloth in her arms, waiting at the door of the cloth shop.
Su Qin got off the car and walked to the door of the cloth shop, took the cloth, and got into the carriage with Meng Ting. The carriage still left the east gate of Quwo. Butler Shen sent them to the city gate and turned back to his house to tell Chen Xian.
Su Qin looked at his beloved woman in the carriage, and left for Qin Camp with a satisfied look. Time passed quickly, and in the morning of the appointed day, Wei Xun's personal follower Ning Jun drove a very large carriage from Qin Camp.
After getting out of the car, Su Qin sat firmly in the car and lowered the curtain to avoid being stared at.
Su Qin made the carriage circle half a circle outside Quwo City before entering the city through the east gate. He still wanted to cover up his actions and make his actions more covert.
