So as soon as she got close, she smoked Qingtian.
But the maid didn't dare to say that she smelled so good, so she could only say, "Miss, you don't know, many people in the capital are saying that the young master of the Qin family is particularly fond of a little girl from the countryside, and no one knows where she came from.
"Think about it, what does a country girl know? She probably has never even smelled the ointment on you, let alone applied it.
"That's what they call a wild boar that can't handle fine bran. Why bother with her?"
After hearing the maid's words, Fan Jiajue felt a little better.
But she immediately frowned and said, "Brother Hexuan is of such status that he is hanging out with a country girl. If anyone tells others about it, it would be an insult to his status.
"I don't know what Brother Hexuan is thinking. Don't Lord Qin and Madam Qin care about him?"
The maid felt something was wrong and said cautiously, "Miss, this, this doesn't seem to be our business!"
Fan Jiajue then realized that he had indeed said too much. Some things should be thought about in the heart, so he immediately explained: "There are no outsiders here, I just said a few words casually!
"Okay, let's go home!"
After Fan Jiajue left, Qin Hexuan discovered that Qingtian had dozed off leaning against him. Worried that she would catch a cold if she fell asleep outside, he hurriedly woke her up and said, "Don't fall asleep yet. Hang on for a while. We'll go home soon."
Qingtian just took a nap in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the fragrant young lady was gone.
She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Brother Qin, was that your sister just now?"
Qin Hexuan said without hesitation: "I don't have a sister."
"But she calls you Brother Hexuan..." Qingtian asked blankly.
Qin Hexuan said firmly, "She's just a relative's child, not my sister."
"Oh, so that's it!" Qingtian nodded as if she understood, and then was carried to the carriage by Qin Hexuan.
On the way back, Qin Hexuan was afraid that Qingtian would fall asleep, so he asked her to talk more.
Qingtian had almost finished talking to Qin Hexuan about her own affairs in the afternoon, and now she didn't know what to say.
Then she suddenly thought of Ye Qingshan and quickly said to Qin Hexuan: "Brother Qin, I forgot to tell you that my cousin is back."
Cousin?
Qin Hexuan immediately thought of Ye Xianglei.
Apprentices always have holidays during the Chinese New Year, so it is normal for him to go home.
But today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is over, so I should go back to the shop tomorrow.
Qin Hexuan asked calmly, "Did he come to visit you during the New Year?"
"He didn't play with me!" Qingtian had no idea what Qin Hexuan was thinking and continued, "He usually plays cards and drinks with my dad and the others."
Qin Hexuan then realized that he had misunderstood. Qingtian had always called Ye Xianglei "uncle", so the cousin he was talking about today should be someone else.
"Where did your cousin come from?"
"He came back from the border," Qingtian recalled. "He served as a soldier for many years and was even captured by the enemy and made a slave. He later escaped and continued to serve in the army. Only now, when he is old, has he been released back home."
This experience...
Qin Hexuan felt that the name sounded familiar, so he asked, "What's your uncle's name?"
"His name is Ye Qingshan." Qingtian said, "My cousin has a wife and two sons. He said he would go and pick them up after spring.
"Mom said that by then I'll have two more brothers."
After hearing the name, Qin Hexuan became more and more certain that this was not an ordinary soldier who had just retired from the army, but Ye Qingshan, who had returned from the border years ago and had just been named the Great General of the Nation by the Emperor!
Speaking of which, Ye Qingshan is also a legendary figure. He was conscripted into the army.
In the past few years, he has been an unknown little guy, keeping a low profile.
Later, he disappeared after a battle. The army thought he was killed in the battle and reported him as a casualty.
Who would have thought that a few years later, Ye Qingshan suddenly sneaked back from abroad with dozens of people.
What he brought back was not only dozens of men, but also a lot of intelligence about the enemy, the most valuable of which was the personnel distribution and terrain map.
With the intelligence he brought back, Da Qi finally won a great victory with pride.
Ye Qingshan was also rewarded and promoted for this.
But this was just the beginning of his legend.
Afterwards, Ye Qingshan seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he was invincible all the way, constantly making achievements and getting promoted.
Last year, he led his troops to force the enemy back and captured five cities.
After returning victorious, he was conferred the title of the second-rank general by the emperor.
He is one of the few generals in this dynasty who came from a commoner background.
This has also caused a lot of criticism.
But his outstanding military achievements are enough to offset any rumors.
This Ye Qingshan is actually Qingtian’s cousin?
Because Qin Hexuan was close to Qingtian, Mrs. Qin had already sent people to investigate the situation of the Ye family and had some understanding of his family's relatives.
There was indeed a male member of the Ye family who was captured and taken to the army. At first, everyone thought he had died outside, but no one expected that he would have such a fate.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan, who had lived in the old house for more than ten days, finally took the opportunity to go for a walk separately and returned to his residence in the capital to meet his wife Shao and two sons.
Ye Qingshan married his wife after he made his first contribution and was promoted. She did not come from a prominent family and was just the daughter of an ordinary family in a border town.
It was not so difficult when he was in the army. Although Ye Qingshan was promoted again and again, he did not have much need for social engagements.
