Chapter 464 Miss
Zhuge Congfeng returned to the yard humming a tune. Seeing Puyang Qiubai still sitting there reading a book, he lay down on the soft chair next to him and rocked leisurely like a little old man.
"Sent it?"
“Sold.”
Puyang Qiubai raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Isn't that your gift to repay your gratitude?"
"I just delivered it to her and something happened. She was scared. I had to come up with an excuse to get her to accept it."
"General Zhaocai is your treasure that you have raised for five years, and you actually gave it to Miss Qin. Didn't you tell me not to take it too seriously?"
"Let's put things in perspective. She saved you and me, that's a fact, I have to repay her. After all, I'm engaged, so it's not appropriate for me to marry her."
"You're just a bad mouth!" Puyang Qiubai said unhappily, "But Zhaocai will be hungry if she follows you. It would be good if you can find a good master for her."
Zhuge Congfeng thought about Qin Huiyin's cute little face, and there was a smile in his eyes that he didn't notice.
In the carriage, Qin Huiyin stroked Zhaocai's hair and saw it lying obediently at her feet, not at all murderous as it was just now.
Zhilan was very nervous at first, but when she saw Zhaocai being so obedient, she was amazed.
Qin Huiyin took Zhaocai to Song's house.
The housekeeper was very curious when he saw her bringing such a big wolfhound.
"Miss, where did this come from? Look, this dog is not an ordinary breed. It reminds me of the legendary Zhuge family."
"Zhuge family? What is that?" Zhilan was curious.
"You are young, so it's normal that you didn't hear it. The Zhuge family was confiscated and exterminated more than a decade ago, and it has been a taboo since then. No one is allowed to mention it." The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, "The Zhuge family was one of the century-old families back then. All the men in the family are brave warriors. They have a special army of only a thousand people, but these thousand people are enough to fight against thousands of troops. This team not only has warriors who can fight a hundred with one, but each warrior also has a wolfhound that they have raised since childhood."
"Isn't that amazing?" Zhilan said, "Why would such an amazing family be confiscated?"
"More than a decade ago, the royal family suppressed the major families. Not only was the Zhuge family destroyed, but other families also suffered greatly. These are taboos and cannot be mentioned outside. This old servant was also moved when he saw this wolfdog and said these things that should not be said." The housekeeper obviously liked Zhaocai very much and asked if he could leave it to his care.
After listening to what the housekeeper said, Qin Huiyin felt that this family was amazing, but it was a pity that they were another victim of the power struggle.
She didn't take it seriously and asked the housekeeper to get her some materials so that she could personally decorate a new home for Zhaocai.
"How is my brother doing recently? I haven't been here for several days. Has he eaten well?" Qin Huiyin asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said, "If the young lady doesn't come, how can the master take care of himself? He was sick a few days ago, and he didn't stop to rest even when he had a fever. He didn't listen to what I said."
"He is really disobedient." Qin Huiyin said angrily.
"That's right. When you see him later, you must have a good talk with him." The butler said with a smile.
Qin Huiyin originally wanted to wait for Song Ruize to come back, but the latter only sent back one message saying that he would be away from Beijing for half a month.
Qin Huiyin asked the military subordinate who delivered the message and learned that Song Ruize was temporarily arranged to escort Princess Minghua to Changling to visit her relatives.
"When did the Military Affairs Department have such a responsibility?"
"Whatever our military department does, it still depends on the orders of those nobles. If the nobles say he has the responsibility, then he must bear the responsibility."
"Has my brother left yet?"
"not yet."
"So where is he now?"
"He should be accompanying Lady Minghua on her shopping trip now, right? When they are almost done shopping, they should set off."
Food street, food city.
Song Ruize stopped his horse and looked up at the plaque of the Food City.
Lady Minghua raised the curtain, looked at Song Ruize from the window, and said softly, "Are you hungry, my lord? Why don't we go eat something? The food in this food city is very novel, I haven't eaten it anywhere else! What do you like to eat? Minghua will treat you."
Song Ruize said calmly: "The county lady only needs to consider her own taste, and I and my subordinates can solve it ourselves."
"You will need to protect Minghua from now on. Minghua should treat us." Lady Minghua said, "If you don't like this place, we can change..."
"Right here." Song Ruize said calmly.
"That's good." Seeing that he agreed, Lady Minghua happily told the maid beside her to make the arrangements.
Song Ruize glanced at the top floor window, where there was no wind chime hanging.
She is not here.
Although she was not there, it was nice to come to her place and feel her breath before leaving the city. At least, he could get a moment of peace.
Song Ruize was a frequent visitor to the Food City. As soon as he entered, the manager came to greet him.
The maid of County Master Minghua chose the food on the first floor according to County Master Minghua's taste and specially arranged a private room to avoid being disturbed by those rude civilians.
The food on the second, third and fourth floors was all very good, but for Princess Minghua, that way of eating was a bit inelegant.
The first floor has a variety of snacks and pastries that you can eat in small bites. The second, third and fourth floors are for eating various roast ducks, barbecues, hot pots, etc. Those things either require you to make them yourself or get covered in greasy food.
Lady Minghua pushed the menu to Song Ruize: "Master Song, please."
Song Ruize picked a set meal at random, stood up and said, "Princess, please eat first. I'll be leaving for a while."
When Lady Minghua saw Song Ruize leaving, she asked the maid next to her, "Will he like the food here?"
"I have inquired and found out that Lord Song often orders food from here and sends it to Bingmasi. Everyone in Bingmasi likes the food here."
"That's good." Lady Minghua held her chest. "What do you think I should say to him? We'll be together for more than ten days, so we should talk about something, right?"
"Master Song doesn't seem to like talking, and I don't know what to say to him."
Song Ruize went straight to the top floor and came to Qin Huiyin's study.
The managers of the Food City all knew the relationship between Song Ruize and Qin Huiyin, so when they saw him going upstairs they just bowed and did not stop him.
Song Ruize sat down on the couch by the window and lay down.
He has been suffering from insomnia recently and hasn't slept well for a long time. He has no interest in having dinner with the county lady, but just takes this opportunity to come to Qin Huiyin's place to rest and replenish some strength.
A hand came up to cover his eyes.
Song Ruize, who was just feeling a little sleepy, smelled a familiar fragrance, his eyes moved, and his eyelashes swept across the palm of her hand.
He pressed her palm, and his broad palm merged with hers.
"Who are these thieves who dare to steal my couch? Do you believe I will report you to the police?"
"I wonder which official the girl wants to report to?"
"I heard that the military commander of East City is very strict in enforcing the law. I will go find him and arrest you and put you in jail."
Song Ruize held her hand tightly and said, "No need to look for him, just grab a rope and grab me. I won't run away."
