Just like yesterday, Qin Liang walked around the school affairs office after lunch and did not want to take care of the school affairs office for the time being. Returning to the front hall, Qin Liang met with Yinci Wu Xin and sent them an errand.
Went straight home.
Towards evening, a guest came to the house. Qin Liang walked out of the upper room and saw a girl disguised as a man. He looked familiar. When he got a bamboo slip given by the girl, he immediately remembered... The girl was
People around Lu.
Qin Liang picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it. There was a line written on it: A gift to you and a small gift to an old friend of Taixue.
That's right, it's Lu's handwriting. Lu has not contacted Qin Liang since they had an appointment two years ago. It should be Qin Liang's behavior at that time that made her feel at ease when she got the desired result. After a long time
What does it mean to suddenly send someone a gift after such a long time?
The girl who delivered the letter held a wooden box and said, "Qin Jun, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Qin Liang called the girl to a secluded wing.
He sat down on a rope bed, took the wooden box, opened it and looked at it for a while: "What is this, jewelry?" He took the thing out of the box, but he didn't think it was jewelry. The front end was from big to small.
There are several jade balls threaded together. The jade stones of different sizes are tightly attached to each other and cannot move. The ends are connected to a string of sparse agarwood beads. Looking at the workmanship of this material, it is expensive.
The girl said: "Madam said that when I met you, I didn't know there was such a thing, otherwise I would have suffered less."
Qin Liang never mentioned this matter to the third person, and Mrs. Lu actually told others herself. However, this girl should have been married to her from her natal family and was someone she trusted, otherwise Mrs. Lu would not have told her.
"Oh." Qin Liang said suddenly, "But what's the use?" The girl avoided her eyes, as if she was embarrassed, and whispered: "Farmers in the countryside are not allowed to plow the land before farming?" Qin Liang nodded and asked curiously:
"Why do farmers have to plow that piece of land?" The girl whispered: "Plow it first, and then plow that piece of land at the last moment. This way it will be better for both of us. Madam hates that man now, but she doesn't want to be too harsh on him."
Qin Liang finally understood, "It means that Madam sent you to arrange a time and place?"
The girl nodded awkwardly.
Qin Liang calmed down, thought for a while and asked again: "She was beaten?"
The girl showed a surprised look, "How did you know?"
Qin Liang said: "I guessed it." He took a breath between his teeth and shook his head and said, "But it's not right. Mrs. Lu wants to take revenge on Mr. He? From what I know about her, she doesn't seem to be that kind of person.
Why do you do this?" The girl was silent for a while, as if thinking about it, and finally said: "Madam said so...he said something at the Zhong family manor. Didn't he promise me not to tell anyone?
What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person. What kind of revenge is just slandering Mr. He? Tsk, no matter how nice you say it, I really believe it. Didn't he just want to threaten me and let me accompany him to do that kind of thing..."
"Wait a minute." Qin Liang said, "Don't worry, what did I say at Zhong Shiji Manor? That day was August 14th. It didn't take long. I remember it very clearly."
The girl said: "Didn't you tell people secretly that you had a hidden affair with your wife when you were at Imperial College?"
Qin Liang suddenly blurted out: "Mrs. Lu was deceived by He Jun!"
Then Qin Liang frowned again and said, "How did she answer, admit it?"
The girl said: "Madam only said that there was nothing hidden, and then she was beaten up anyway, with wounds all over her face."
Qin Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a slow tone: "Fortunately, I was just thinking that Mrs. Lu is not such a dull person and has no evidence. What does she believe?"
After all, everyone is now married. Qin Liang doesn't want to dwell on the past, so it's best to just pretend it never happened.
The girl's voice said: "You mean, you didn't say those words?"
Qin Liang said: "Why should I say that? Mrs. Lu actually believed He Jun's words."
The girl pursed her thin lips and said, "How do you know, madam? Did you tell me?"
Qin Liang was too lazy to refute. He briefly recalled what happened that day and said: "I didn't talk to Mr. He at that time, but we were talking about the official position in the school affairs order, and Mrs. Lu was not mentioned at all. There was a Shuzi named Liu.
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, so I started to stir things up there, saying that Mr. He always had trouble with me, maybe he had some secret affair with Mrs. Lu. Mr. He immediately became angry, and if many people hadn't persuaded him, he would have started a fight."
He paused and said, "What's the name of the person named Liu? He's only a teenager anyway. What happened at Taixue a few years ago, I'm afraid he was still reading the Analects at home at that time. He knows what, he was there just to stir up trouble."
Nonsense. I even said something at that time..."
Because it had only been a few days, Qin Liang remembered the original words after a moment's thought, "Mrs. Lu's father is an official in Taixue, and there are more than one or two people who know Mrs. Lu, so why bother trying to catch someone up?"
The girl asked: "Did you really speak for your wife?"
Qin Liang said: "There are more than one or two guests in the manor. Madam, if you ask someone to inquire, don't you know? It has only been a few days, everyone must still remember it."
The girl said: "Why do you have the nerve to ask about such things? Whether it's a wife or a concubine, it's very strange to ask anyone. Why do you ask without a guilty conscience?"
Qin Liang immediately said: "She is just too guilty. May I ask what's wrong?"
The girl said: "Master He insisted that it was Jun who said that my wife was beaten, so he also thought that Jun might have said something secretly to others and wanted to beat her up."
Qin Liang said: "You go back and tell Mrs. Lu that the things that happened before were not a big deal, just forget about it. And those words about hidden things were not said by me."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Have you mentioned it before so that others would think more about it?"
Qin Liang was stunned.
The girl glanced at him, probably afraid that he would get angry, so she finally stopped pestering her and just asked softly: "Don't you want to make an appointment? We've already found a place."
Qin Liang shook his head and sighed: "There is no need to take that risk now. My wife is already a woman, and I can't control her family affairs, but I will never betray her. Tell her, I really don't resent her, and I won't
Why don't you believe me when you threaten her?"
For a moment, Qin Liang even guessed that He Jun seemed to like to mess with women outside. Did he do this kind of thing too much, making Lu feel that all men are like that?
However, Qin Liang took a look at the box on the case and felt that this thing was quite interesting. This kind of thing was very rare at this time and difficult to find with money. Moreover, it could be seen from the string that it was brand new and unused. Lu's
After saying it was a gift for himself, Qin Liang reached out and took it in his hand to look at it silently.
When the girl saw this, she said, "Madam, I'll give it to you, and you'll just keep it."
Qin Liang smiled.
The girl whispered again: "Madam often goes to the big market over Dongyang Gate, the largest brocade shop. If you have something to meet, please wait until madam goes to the big market, and don't show your letters to outsiders."
Qin Liang suddenly said: "I remember, but nothing will happen." He took someone else's expensive gift and asked casually, "Is Mrs. Lu's injury okay?"
The girl said: "It's just a flesh wound, it shouldn't be serious."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "That's good."
The girl bowed and said, "I will report back to you truthfully, madam. Please take your leave."
Qin Liang got up and sent her out of the wing, calling Rao Dashan who was following him home to see her off. He took the box in his hand, walked back to the wing, looked around, and then walked out. After a while, he came to the upper room.
In the room next to where the slips are placed, put the wooden box into a linen bag containing the slips.
