Chapter 442 Inquiry
Song Ruize washed the scalded area of Qin Huiyin with water, then looked at it carefully and saw that her fingers were still red, so he bent down and blew on them.
"You don't have to do these jobs yourself, just let them do it."
"But they can't make the craftsmanship you like!" Qin Huiyin withdrew her fingers.
"They can't do it, but I don't want you to get hurt more than satisfying my taste buds."
"I'll be more careful next time." Qin Huiyin pushed him, "You've come just in time. Breakfast is ready. Eat before going to work."
Qin Huiyin brought over the prepared soup dumplings, steamed buns, and steamed eggs with milk.
When she brought over the breakfast, Song Ruize was not idle either. He put the dishes and chopsticks in place and moved her stool next to his.
"I heard that you came back at Chou time, and you've only slept for two hours. Is this okay?"
"Do you think your brother is in trouble?" Song Ruize asked her seriously.
Qin Huiyin: “…”
Okay, she just asked an unnecessary question.
If he was really not good at it, he wouldn't have gotten up so early in the morning to practice boxing.
Sure enough, it’s good to be young, full of energy and vigor.
"By the way, what happened at Yuzhu Pavilion?" Qin Huiyin asked curiously, "When Brother Qibin came to see you yesterday, he said something about the incident at Yuzhu Pavilion."
"You are so bold that you even dare to bring it up on your own initiative." Song Ruize said with a wry smile.
Qin Huiyin: “…”
Yes, she was a little bit off.
Maybe because he didn't come to settle the score with her yesterday, she thought the matter was over.
"Brother, please listen to my explanation." Qin Huiyin hugged his arm, "This is all for my sisters."
"Your sister ordered dozens of young men for you and asked them to sit on your lap?"
"No, absolutely not. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Sister Luwu. She is a well-known honest person." Qin Huiyin blinked and looked at Song Ruize very sincerely.
"I heard that the young man named Congfeng is very handsome. What do you think?"
"Really? I think that's just the way it is!" Qin Huiyin said, "If I say good-looking, how can I be better than you? Brother is the most handsome man in the world."
There was a flash of discomfort in Song Ruize's eyes.
Qin Huiyin noticed that Song Ruize’s earlobe turned red.
She laughed secretly.
Although he has a stern face all day long and is very dignified when handling official business, he is actually still a young man.
"That Changfeng is involved in a murder case and is now imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. You are not allowed to go to a filthy place like Yuzhu Pavilion anymore. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Ruize took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.
He was so close all of a sudden that Qin Huiyin's heartbeat was a little chaotic. She blinked, holding her breath, watching Song Ruize's movements.
"Are you ready?"
It took a bit too long to wipe.
Song Ruize's gaze rested on those rosy lips.
Her lips were like rose petals, moist, shiny, soft and looked very sweet.
"Yeah." He suppressed the restlessness in his body and withdrew his hand.
After Song Ruize had breakfast, he first sent Qin Huiyin back to Tang’s house, and then went to the East City Military Division to report for duty.
Tang family.
Qin Huiyin saw the invitation in her hand and replied directly: "No."
"This is an invitation from the Lady of Minghua County. It would be bad if we don't go." Tang Luwu said, "This Lady of Minghua County is the daughter of Princess Jinglan. I heard that Princess Jinglan is the younger sister of the current emperor and is very favored! Lady of Minghua County grew up beside the empress dowager and is as precious as the princesses in the palace."
"I've been in the spotlight lately, and every time I attend a banquet, it's like walking on a tightrope. Anyway, my brother is still in a low position, so no one will care even if he finds an excuse not to go." Tang Luwu always listened to Qin Huiyin, and she had no objection when Qin Huiyin said she didn't have to go. If there was anyone who didn't want to attend this kind of banquet the most, it should be Tang Luwu. She really didn't want to greet those noble ladies.
Qin Huiyin didn't want to go, so she found an excuse to go back. On the day of the banquet, she stayed at home to make wine, and didn't go out for some fresh air until the banquet was over.
"Something happened, something happened." Xia Ruwan ran in from outside.
Qin Huiyin was drawing her eyebrows, and she was so startled that her eyebrows were drawn crooked. She wiped them with a wet handkerchief, put down the eyebrow pencil and looked at Xia Ruwan.
"Boss Xia has seen a lot of things. What could possibly be so devastating as to make you lose your composure?"
"It's a big deal, very big." Xia Ruwan came over and squeezed in with her on the chair. "I'm telling you, it's a good thing you didn't go to the party today, otherwise you would have been the one in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huiyin became interested.
She didn't go to banquets because all the recent banquets were Hongmen Banquets. She didn't know why she came from a small place and got into so much trouble, and everyone pushed her to the stage to make a big show.
"Tell me what's going on?"
"The eldest young master of the Zhu family has gotten himself into trouble again." Xia Ruwan said, "It is said that the fourth young lady of the Gong family had soiled her clothes, and when she was changing, the young master barged in. It was just a coincidence that the maid next to Miss Gong thought there was a pervert, so she shouted for many people to come over, and the two were caught in the act."
"Isn't the fourth young lady of the Gong family Gong Qianyue?"
"Yes, it's that Gong Qianyue."
"Gong Qianyue's girl thought there was a pervert and called out loudly, attracting many people. Doesn't that sound strange?"
"That's right, it's strange." Xia Ruwan said, "I heard that the third young lady of the Gong family, Gong Qianmiao, also got her clothes dirty. The two sisters of the Gong family changed clothes in the east wing and the west wing respectively. These two places are very far apart! The eldest young master Zhu got drunk, and the servant took him to rest. Originally, he was to take him to the east wing, but the servant who led the way was suddenly called away, and another servant took him to the west wing. If you said that he had not gone to the wrong place and went to the east wing, who did he see? Was it the third young lady Gong? Now he went to the wrong wing, and the person he saw was the fourth young lady Gong."
Qin Huiyin rubbed her brows and said, "This is more of a headache than the accounts I have been calculating all day."
"That's right." Xia Ruwan continued, "Everyone knows that Master Zhu has been having a hot relationship with that prostitute named Xing'er recently, and they are in a good relationship! The reason why Master Zhu is willing to attend the banquet is that he wants to use this banquet hosted by the county lord to invite the young masters and young ladies of various aristocratic families to attend his wedding banquet."
"Master Zhu wants to marry a prostitute?"
"The Zhu family has been in a big commotion recently. The eldest son Zhu is determined to marry a brothel girl. The Zhu family disagrees, but they can't persuade him, so they agree to let him take her as a concubine. The eldest son Zhu is also a romantic man. Now his heart is full of that brothel girl. Even if he takes a concubine, he has to invite others to the wedding. Do you think this man is mentally ill? He liked you before, and I thought he was quite normal. Now it seems that he stays in the backyard all day, and his mind is weird."
