Chapter 371 Thrilling
After eating wontons, Song Ruize asked Qin Huiyin to get on the horse and he led the horse for her.
Qin Huiyin wanted to talk to Song Ruize, but she didn't want to be alone on top while the other one was down, making it inconvenient for them to talk, so she insisted on going with him.
"I'm too full and I want to digest the food." Qin Huiyin pulled his arm and said, "Let's go back!"
Song Ruize nodded, put her veil on, and took her home.
There is no curfew in this dynasty, so the capital has become a city that never sleeps. Even so late, there are still many vendors setting up stalls and pedestrians strolling at night.
There was someone juggling in front of them, and everyone was cheering. When she passed by, Qin Huiyin turned around and saw a mouthful of fire spurting out. The fire was so dazzling that it scared her.
She leaned to the side and stepped on Song Ruize's instep. Seeing that she was about to fall, Song Ruize hugged her shoulders, turned her around twice, and brought her to the other side.
"Are you okay? Did the fire hurt you?"
"No, the fire didn't hurt anyone. I just didn't expect him to suddenly spit fire, and I was scared." Qin Huiyin rubbed his eyes.
"Let me see." Song Ruize took off his veil and looked at her eyes carefully. "Don't rub them, they're all red."
Qin Huiyin looked up at him, squinting her eyes: "It is indeed a bit uncomfortable."
Song Ruize took the water bag from the horse's back, soaked a handkerchief in the water, and covered her eyes with it for a cold compress.
When taking off the handkerchief, Song Ruize looked into her eyes carefully with a serious expression.
Her watery eyes blinked, and her eyelashes were long and curled like a small fan. Looking at her from such a close distance, her bright face was like a delicate flower, every bit of her was lovable.
Song Ruize suddenly felt very confused.
Qin Huiyin's eyes were wet and itchy, so she wiped them with a handkerchief. She blinked a few times until the foreign body sensation disappeared, and then she let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, it's okay."
Song Ruize tightened his grip on the horse rope and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go!"
"Why are you walking so fast?" Qin Huiyin chased after him. "Slow down, I can't walk anymore..."
Qin Huiyin's body suddenly flew into the air and was carried onto the horse by Song Ruize.
"Sit down." Song Ruize said.
"Oh." Qin Huiyin pursed her lips and looked at Song Ruize who was leading the horse, and found that his expression became a little strange.
It seems that the position of commander of the military department is not so easy to sit. From what happened today, it can be seen that the things he has to deal with every day are messy and numerous, and she always causes trouble for him, distracting him from taking care of her and protecting her, which is really not right.
"Brother, is it difficult to deal with General Lin's matter today?"
"It's not difficult."
"Will he be released soon and reinstated?" Qin Huiyin said, "After all, he was drunk, so he can find excuses for himself and let the higher-ups give him a break. My eldest brother said that General Lin had made many military achievements. Last time he raped a woman, he was only demoted. In the end, the woman lost her innocence, and her fiancé didn't want her anymore. She committed suicide and was saved by her family. The whole family is far away from the capital, a place of trouble. He didn't get punished for such a hateful thing last time, so what happened tonight is nothing to him."
"This time he is looking for trouble with Tang Yichen. At the very least, it can be said that he is drunk and causing trouble. At the most, it can be said that he is dissatisfied with the order from above. It depends on how Tang Yichen handles it. However, Tang Yichen will not let such a person be an eyesore in the capital. Even if his life can be saved, the crime of exile will probably be sentenced to him."
“You deserve it.”
After returning home, Song Ruize extended his hand to her and pulled her off the horse.
The servant led the horse away.
The maid came over and said to Qin Huiyin, "The hot water is ready, Miss."
Song Ruize stretched out his hand to touch Qin Huiyin's hair as he usually did, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Go to bed early."
Song Ruize woke up in the middle of the night. When he sat up, he looked blankly at the moonlight outside the window.
What's going on?
How could he have a dream like that?
In the dream, the scene of applying cold compress to Qin Huiyin's eyes under the firelight reappeared, the difference was that he actually kissed Qin Huiyin's forehead.
Why?
That's my sister.
If it's a kiss on the forehead... it should be a sign of a brother's love for his sister, right?
Song Ruize stood up and poured a cup of cold tea. He stood in front of the window, letting the wind blow. After an unknown amount of time, the heat in his body subsided, his mind cleared, and he lay back on the bed.
The next morning, Song Ruize had just gone out when he heard voices coming from the kitchen, including Qin Huiyin's voice. He went over to see Jiang Qibin making noodles with Qin Huiyin giving instructions.
"Sister Huiyin, your cooking skills are amazing. We asked the chef to cook according to your method, but he still couldn't achieve the same taste."
Chen Yong came in with a bucket, and when he saw Song Ruize, he said, "Brother Ze, please make way. I brought some fresh milk for Huiyin. You're blocking the door, so I can't get in."
Song Ruize said calmly, "You guys ordered Yinyin to do this and that early in the morning. Are you dissatisfied that you have too little to do and your life is too leisurely?"
"No, it's Huiyin who wants to eat ramen too, right?" Jiang Qibin asked for help.
Qin Huiyin stirred the bone soup and said, "I'm craving for food. The water is already boiling, hurry up and add the ramen. Brother, go wash up first, the ramen will be ready soon."
Song Ruize was about to leave when he saw beads of sweat on Qin Huiyin's forehead. He wanted to wipe it for her, but suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable and did not move. As a result, Chen Yong took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her.
He snatched it away and said calmly, "Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
Chen Yong was shocked and said in astonishment: "Boss, this is our sister. I, I, I... I don't have any other ideas."
Besides, Qin Huiyin was only twelve years old when they met her. In his eyes, she was just a child. How could his boss mention the words "men and women should not touch each other"?
It's terrible, so terrible.
However, a closer look revealed that Qin Huiyin was indeed a grown-up girl. According to the rules of this dynasty, a fifteen-year-old girl who did not get married had to pay more taxes, and she was now on the list of those who had to pay back taxes.
Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize in confusion: "Brother?"
Song Ruize called the maid next to him and said calmly, "How do you take care of the young lady? From now on, the young lady is not allowed to do this kind of rough work."
"Yes, Miss..." The maid was uneasy.
"I wanted to make ramen for my brother." Qin Huiyin noticed that Song Ruize was in a bad mood today. She didn't want him to blame others, so she explained, "Brother, do you dislike my cooking skills?"
"No." Song Ruize said, "You can tell them what to do instead of doing it yourself."
"You just dislike my cooking skills. There must be too many delicious foods in Beijing, so you think my cooking skills are crude." Qin Huiyin was unhappy, "Forget it, I won't do it in the future."
Song Ruize quickly grabbed her arm and said, "No, I won't say it again, don't be angry."
Jiang Qibin and Chen Yong looked at each other, looking as if they were enjoying a good show.
As expected, there is always something that can defeat something else.
