Chapter 400 Pressure
As soon as Qin Huiyin walked out of the gate of Xia's house, she saw a figure sitting under the eaves opposite.
The lanterns from several nearby homes lit up the street brightly, and she could clearly see Tang Yichen sitting there like a lost child.
When she returned, the other servants immediately left.
Qin Huiyin waved her hand, signaling the two maids to go in first.
She walked over, sat next to Tang Yichen, and said to him, "Sir, are you unable to find your way home? Do you want to come home with me?"
Tang Yichen turned his head to look over, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and the smile on the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"I am a big eater. Can you afford to feed me?"
Qin Huiyin pretended to be distressed: "Then can you work? I see that you look so gentle and refined, I'm afraid you can't even turn a millstone? Forget it, forget it, it's a bit of a loss, so don't follow me."
Qin Huiyin stood up and prepared to go inside.
Tang Yichen grabbed her wrist and held her back, preventing her from leaving.
"Then I'll eat less." He felt very aggrieved when he said this.
Qin Huiyin burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, then follow me!"
"Pull me." Tang Yichen stretched out his arm.
Qin Huiyin pulled him up with force.
She took Tang Yichen into the courtyard and asked the servants to fetch water for him to wash. He had drunk wine and smelled of alcohol. However, even if he had drunk wine, he was as elegant as a magnolia, just a drunk magnolia.
When she went to make the hangover soup for him, Tang Yichen had already washed himself, even his hair. When she came back with the hangover soup, Chen Yu was wiping his hair.
When Tang Yichen saw her coming back, he snatched the handkerchief from Chen Yu and gave it to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin took it and said to Chen Yu, "You are tired after serving this drunkard for a whole day. Go back and rest early. I don't need you to serve me today."
Chen Yu and Zhang Zhen outside the house left immediately.
Qin Huiyin stood behind Tang Yichen and wiped his hair. She said, "Drink the hangover soup."
Tang Yichen held the sobering soup and blew it gently.
"Why did you drink so much today?" Qin Huiyin asked, "Did you encounter difficulties in your career?"
"It's nothing to encounter difficulties in your career." Tang Yichen lowered his head and took a sip. "No matter how difficult things are, I have encountered them before. They won't make me distressed."
"Then what are you doing this for?"
"Do you still remember Lord Meng?" Tang Yichen asked.
"Of course." Qin Huiyin was puzzled. "My memory is not that bad. Did he embarrass you? Not really. You are not in the same department, and your official rank is higher than his."
"His superiors wanted to match him with his daughter, but that stubborn guy refused and even mocked his superiors for forcing him to buy and sell. Now he is being bullied every day. I don't know if he can hold on any longer." Tang Yichen shook his head. "Originally, I saw that he was interested in you, so I considered marrying him. Although he is not from a famous noble family, he has noble character and is sincere to you."
Qin Huiyin: "...wait, are you drunk or am I hallucinating?"
"You are so heartless." Tang Yichen drank the hangover soup. "Why is it so bitter?"
"There are preserves on the side."
Tang Yichen took a bite of the candied fruit, frowned and said, "It's not delicious."
"No way!" Qin Huiyin picked one and ate it. "Isn't this delicious?"
"It's not as delicious as yours."
"Yes, yes, sir, I'll do it for you myself next time."
"That's not necessary." Tang Yichen said, "There are so many servants in the house, you don't need to do anything, just give them instructions and let them do it."
"Lord Meng is unlucky to have met such a superior. However, he has a rather upright character. I'm afraid this is just the beginning. He will have to endure more in the future. Unless he can become more tactful."
"If he could become smooth, he wouldn't be Meng Shushen." Tang Yichen said, "But this incident also reminded me that I can't pick such a big fool for you and Lu Wu in the future."
Qin Huiyin laughed: "You sound more and more like my mother. Old Master Tang, look at how carefree Uncle Tang is every day, and you worry about the country and the people every day, and you also worry about your sisters' marriages. You are almost becoming an old man. If you really want to worry, you should worry about yourself. Look how old you are, and you still don't find a sister-in-law for us. If you find a mistress, my mother can worry less."
"Yinyin..."
"What's wrong?" Qin Huiyin wiped his hair half dry and put the handkerchief away.
"How long has it been since you talked to me like this?" Tang Yichen held her hand and looked at her. "It's nice to get drunk today with you by my side."
"Brother, you are usually busy with official duties, and I am afraid to disturb you. Many times it is not that I don't want to accompany you, but I don't know if the timing is right or not. In my eyes, you are my own brother."
"Anyway, you always have a point." How could Tang Yichen argue with her? He just took the opportunity to act coquettishly and let her know that he also wanted to be close to her.
Tang Yichen had indeed drunk a little too much. He felt sleepy before his hair was dry and his eyelids were drooping. Qin Huiyin was worried that he would get sick if he fell asleep before his hair was dry, so she dragged him to talk for a long time.
The next day, Qin Huiyin received a post from Chang Xiaohuan, saying that she was going to the horse farm to play.
Qin Huiyin was deeply impressed by those ladies from prominent families. Chang Xiaohuan was the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. She was not like Gong Qianyue, who always looked innocent and naive with her scarlet sleeves.
Since the other party took the initiative to make friends, she had no reason to refuse, so she sent someone to reply and said that he would arrive on time.
"When the noble ladies in the capital go to the horse farm, they don't really go there to ride horses. Miss needs to buy some riding clothes." Su Jin said.
"Then let's go get some equipment!" Qin Huiyin said, "I haven't paid much attention to this direction, so it's a good opportunity to learn more about it."
The capital city is so big, and Qin Huiyin has not yet visited all the shops in the capital. This is a good opportunity to take a look around.
The two maids had served noble ladies before, and were very familiar with the shops that noble ladies liked to go to the most. Under their guidance, Qin Huiyin came to the shop with the most riding suits.
"Boss, I want this..." While Qin Huiyin was speaking, another woman's voice sounded at the same time, and she said exactly the same thing.
She looked back and saw that the elegant girl standing next to her was none other than Cui Lingyao, the daughter of the Prime Minister.
This Cui Lingyao is the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital.
"This is the one our young lady likes." The maid next to Cui Lingyao said arrogantly.
"Pearl, don't be rude." Cui Lingyao said calmly, "Since this sister likes it, then give it to her!"
Qin Huiyin had never thought of arguing with Cui Lingyao the moment she saw her, but she didn't like hearing her talk like that. It wasn't hers, but it made her seem so generous.
So, she smiled and said, "Although we shouted at the same time, and the boss didn't say who he was going to sell it to, but Miss Cui is willing to give it up, then I won't be polite."
"Miss..." Pearl said angrily, "This man is really rude. He really wants it."
