Chapter 481 Gift
Zhuge Congfeng looked at her high ponytail and said with a smile: "You might as well not have it tied up like this."
"What do you care?" Qin Huiyin said angrily, "You're leaving soon, don't force me to kick you a few times when you leave."
"Kick me, I'll kick you." Zhuge Congfeng turned his back to her, hunched over, waiting for Qin Huiyin to kick him.
Qin Huiyin glanced at him unhappily and said to Puyang Qiubai, "Is the place you are going to far this time? Have you found your followers? Otherwise, I will arrange some good men for you!"
"No need." Puyang Qiubai said, "We have already found a caravan and taken a ride with it. You drank a lot of wine yesterday, so you should have a good rest today. You don't need to send us off again."
"When you came, I personally came to receive you. Now that you are leaving, of course I have to see you off in person. You left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to prepare. Yesterday I took two maids to buy some things, thinking that you might need them on the road, but I don't know if they suit your taste. Master, Master Feng, I will not see you out of the city. We'll see each other again if we are lucky."
"We will definitely meet again." Zhuge Congfeng said, "Don't act like we will never come back. If we come back tomorrow, you will embarrass us!"
"If you come back tomorrow, I will hold a welcoming party for you and welcome you in person. As long as I am not embarrassed, it's fine. What does it have to do with me whether you are embarrassed or not?"
Zhuge Congfeng: "...You were really rude when you were talking back at me. Qiu, look at your good disciple. I should at least teach her how to play the flute. She doesn't even know how to respect her teacher."
"Who told you to teach so badly?" Qin Huiyin's disdain became more obvious. "I learn from my teacher. Even if someone deliberately makes things difficult for me and asks me to perform, I can barely get some applause. You teach me to play the flute, but the best I can do is put my mouth towards the eye of the flute and blow out a sound. Forget about the music. I have never seen a complete flute piece."
Zhuge Congfeng rolled up his sleeves and said to Puyang Qiubai, "You go first, I will come back to chase you half a month later. Listen to what she said, how can I bear this injustice?"
Puyang Qiubai pushed Zhuge Congfeng and drove him to the carriage. He finally got on the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked at her deeply: "Goodbye."
The carriage disappeared from the mansion and finally turned into a small black dot.
"Miss, don't be sad. In life, there are reunions and separations." Zhilan comforted her, "But there are people around us who will never leave us, such as relatives, such as our young lady's future husband and children."
Qin Huiyin yawned: "I want to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Zhilan and Sujin looked at each other.
They thought Qin Huiyin would be missing for a few days, but now it seems nothing unusual.
"Miss, I thought you would be sad for a few days."
"Master and Master Congfeng are just our honored guests. I never expected them to stay at home forever. We will be separated sooner or later." Qin Huiyin said, "I got to know them during this period of time and got along well with them. We have had very good memories, and that is enough."
Main courtyard. Qin Huiyin dragged her tired body into the wing room and lay down on the soft couch as if she had no bones.
Li Taohua gestured to Runiang next to her.
Ru Niang brought the hangover soup and said, "This is the hangover soup that Madam asked the servants to make for Miss early in the morning. Miss, drink it quickly, and you will feel better after drinking it."
Qin Huiyin sat up straight, took the bowl, tilted her head back and gulped down the liquid.
"Slow down, don't rush, be careful not to choke."
Qin Huiyin drank the sobering soup and let Zhilan wipe the water stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Do you feel bad now? No one persuaded you to drink last night, but you kept fighting with Master Congfeng. Master Congfeng was also a gentleman, and later replaced your wine with water. You thought you won, because others were giving in to you!" Li Taohua poked her forehead, "You, just relying on so many people pampering you, you are doing things more and more unruly."
"I don't care. Everyone saw it. I won. He begged for mercy, showed weakness, and admitted defeat." Qin Huiyin said.
"Yes, you win." Li Taohua laughed. "You are becoming more shameless."
Qin Huiyin regained some energy after drinking the sobering soup.
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Qin Huiyin said, "If you had nothing to do, you would definitely let me sleep until tomorrow and would not call me over at this time."
"Something has indeed happened that must be dealt with immediately. I can't wait until tomorrow to come to you." Li Taohua asked Runiang to give her the thing.
Runiang handed her a piece of paper.
Qin Huiyin took it and looked at it. When she saw the pile of valuable items listed on it, she asked, "What is this?"
"Prince Zhong sent someone to deliver it." Li Taohua said, "Guess what it is?"
"Not only do they want top-grade chalcedony and century-old coral trees, but they also want antique paintings and calligraphy, antique musical instruments, and the like. Judging from this list, the total value is about 50,000. Could it be that this is the betrothal gift that Prince Zhong's Mansion specifically asked us to provide?" Qin Huiyin said, "Is Prince Zhong's Mansion in a hurry to marry their daughter to us to bring disaster upon us? We are still thinking that we can delay it for a day, but if Prince Zhong's Mansion pushes us, we won't be able to delay it for a few days."
"Don't worry, it's not a betrothal gift." Li Taohua said, "Now that you think about it, it doesn't seem so scary, does it?"
"If it's not a betrothal gift, isn't that even scarier?" Qin Huiyin said, "Princess Yuanying is a royal relative, and she asked for these valuables as a betrothal gift. Although I think she's not worth it, I don't think it's strange. With the style of Prince Zhong's mansion, they can do this. But the scariest thing about this matter is that such a long list of valuables is not a betrothal gift. So when Prince Zhong asks us to officially provide a betrothal gift, what kind of sky-high price will it be?"
"Hehe..." Li Taohua also learned Qin Huiyin's usual way of mocking when she was unhappy. "This is what Princess Yuanying asked our mansion to provide for her birthday banquet."
"She wants us to provide so many things for her birthday party?" Qin Huiyin said, "Why doesn't she just rob them?"
"Isn't she trying to rob us now?" Li Taohua said, "In her eyes, she is from the royal family, and we are considered high-class if we can marry into Prince Zhong's mansion. Now she has listed such a long list of things to us, which means she is sure that we dare not refuse and can only suffer this loss in silence."
"Does Big Brother know?"
"I just sent you a list, but your eldest brother hasn't told him about it yet." Li Taohua said, "There's no need to talk to him about this kind of thing. He's already very annoyed by his busy work every day."
