A Clash of Gods - Chapter 513

[Chapter 514 Famine]

Qi Ning left the palace, but he was quite excited along the way, and Gu Qinghan’s figure was always entangled in his mind.

In all honesty, Qi Ning didn’t have much affection for Jinyi Hou’s mansion. Qi Ning didn’t even want to see that gloomy lady, but because of Gu Qinghan’s existence, Qi Ning really felt Jinyi Hou. The government has a false feeling.

Thinking that Gu Qinghan had been waiting for him to return home early, and when he arrived at the gate of the Jinyihou Mansion, Qi Ning even felt a little excited.

Qi Feng and others returned to the mansion earlier, so the mansion already knew that Qi Ning was returning to Beijing, and there were people waiting in front of the door. When they saw Qi Ning coming back, some people went to report it, and some people came forward to greet him respectfully.

When Qi Ning entered the mansion, he saw a beautiful figure approaching, with a graceful figure, it was Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan is covered with a purple plum blossom cicada wing gauze that drags the floor, inside is a thin cicada wing Xia Ying gauze rose fragrant corset, the waist is emerald green and sprinkled with a soft smoke skirt, the waist is like a thin willow, the shoulders are cut into pieces, standing upright. Wearing a bun with clouds, she is graceful and graceful, with a slight smile on her beautiful and pretty face. Before anyone arrives, the fragrance has arrived.

“Sanniang!” Qi Ning sped up his steps and said with a smile, “I’ll go to the palace first and return to the emperor. The palace has been in trouble for you these days.”

Gu Qinghan smiled and said: “I know, it’s good for you to come back safe and sound.” He came forward, looked Qi Ning up and down, smiled and said: “This trip out, people are a lot darker, this journey is hard, right? ”

“It’s okay to work hard.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “I just want to fly back with wings and see Sanniang and her family earlier.”

Gu Qinghan said: “I have already prepared meals for you. You see that you are very busy, so hurry up and wash and change into clean clothes. We are waiting for you to eat.”

“Then do you want to see Mrs. Tai?”

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said, “I have already reported to Mrs. Tai that Mrs. Tai is going to study Buddhist scriptures recently, so don’t let anyone disturb her.”

Qi Ning thought that this old woman was really weird. If it were an ordinary old man, it would be the first time for his grandson to go out for business. Madam Tai was unusually indifferent because she had not seen each other because of her Buddhist pilgrimage.

But for Qi Ning, it’s not a bad thing for Mrs. Tai to disappear. She smiled and said, “Well, I’ll go wash first.” Then he went to his yard, took a few steps, looked back at Gu Qinghan, but saw Gu Qinghan bowed his head slightly, With his eyebrows locked, he seemed to be full of worries and a little strange. Seeing Qi Ning looking back at him, Gu Qinghan forced a smile.

Qi Ning immediately knew that Gu Qinghan had something hidden in his heart, and he was supposed to ask immediately, but he didn’t want to be in a hurry, but at this time, he found that although Gu Qinghan was still mature and beautiful, his complexion was obviously much worse, and the whole person seemed quite a bit. Haggard, I wondered if it was because Gu Qinghan had worked too hard to manage the Hou Mansion after he left Beijing?

When he returned to the courtyard, Gu Qinghan had already arranged for someone to prepare hot water. Along the way, he took a hot shower and felt comfortable. After changing into soft casual clothes, he went straight to the elegant hall of the Hou residence and saw that Gu Qinghan was in person After placing the food, he walked lightly behind Gu Qinghan.

However, Gu Qinghan didn’t seem to notice Qi Ning coming in at all, and she was very worried. Qi Ning stood behind Gu Qinghan and saw her back Feng Yun Pingting, like a gourd-like back, curvy but not greasy. Youwu, but I also know in my heart that Gu Qinghan is not a master who is easy to mess with. The first few times I wanted to kiss Fangze, but in the end, it could only end in embarrassment. There is always some embarrassment.

After returning from Xichuan this time, Gu Qinghan’s attitude softened slightly, but he couldn’t commit it again and again because of this, otherwise the beautiful young woman would really get annoyed, and it would be difficult to clean up in the future, and the two sides would only be more embarrassed.

Qi Ning had to admit that Gu Qinghan was not only beautiful, smart and capable, but his figure was indeed one of a kind, with a slender waist and plump buttocks, revealing the seductive charm of a mature and beautiful young woman.

Although Gu Qinghan put the vegetable bowl on the table from the tray,

But it seems that he is wandering in the world, his mind is not here, accidentally a green onion finger touches the soup bowl, “Ouch” softly, and hurriedly closes his hand, Qi Ning sees this, and hurriedly said: “Sanniang, it is not hot. Are you going?” Going forward, he wanted to grab Gu Qinghan’s hand to take a look, Gu Qinghan didn’t wait for him to touch it, and immediately withdrew his hand, shook his head and said, “It’s okay!”

This is the food that just came out. The soup bowl is hot. Gu Qinghan’s slender fingers are delicate and fair. When touched by the soup, it is already a little red. Qi Ning can see clearly and say, “It’s all red, and he said it’s fine.” Turning around As he was about to leave, Gu Qinghan hurriedly shouted, “Where are you going?”

“I’ll go to Miss Tang and get some medicine from her.” Qi Ning said.

Gu Qinghan hurriedly said: “No, I’ll go by myself.” He pulled Qi Ning in the past and said, “You eat first, and I’ll apply some wound medicine myself.”

Qi Ning sighed and nodded, Gu Qinghan squeezed out a smile, and walked out lightly, Qi Ning sat down at the table, always felt that something was wrong with Gu Qinghan, couldn’t eat for a while, went out and shouted: “Come on, Han Where is the steward? Let him come.”

Han Shou from the Jinyi Hou Mansion trotted over, entered the room and said, “Master Hou, are you looking for this old slave?”

“Director Han, come over and talk.” Qi Ning beckoned, and when Han Shou approached, he asked, “Is there something big happened in the mansion these days I’ve been away from Beijing?”

Han Shou hurriedly said: “Master Hou, after you left, the third lady handled the affairs of the Hou mansion, and the old slave was there to assist. Everything was in order, and there was no mistake, and nothing happened.”

“Did the third old man come to the mansion to make trouble?” Qi Ning asked with a frown, “or are his sons here to make trouble?”

Han Shou shook his head and said, “Master Hou, they haven’t been here since you left.” He asked cautiously, “Master Hou, why did you ask this?”

“Where has Duan Canghai gone, why can’t he see him?”

Han Shou said with a smile, “Have you forgotten, Mr. Hou, before you left the capital, you assigned them to train the Black Scale Camp. Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang have been staying at the camp for a while now, but Duan Canghai came back twice. , the third lady told them not to worry about the manor, just practice their troops with heart.”

Qi Ning thought to herself that she was really confused, and almost forgot about such a big event. She frowned and said, “I saw that the third lady was full of worries, and I thought something happened in the house. Since there is nothing, it is naturally better.”

Han Shou hesitated for a while, before he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Qi Ning knew something was wrong, and said solemnly, “What happened, please tell me sooner.”

Han Shou lowered his voice and said, “Master Hou, the third lady is worried about my uncle. There is nothing wrong with Hou’s house, but something big happened on the other side of my uncle.”

“Uncle? Gu Wenwen?” Qi Ning was startled, “What happened to him?”

“It seems like it’s because of a painting.” Han Shou seemed to be afraid of being heard, so he leaned beside Qi Ning and said in a low voice, “Uncle took a painting, but it seems that something went wrong, and uncle came back two days ago. After passing the house, I was scolded by the third lady, and neither of us dared to approach. The old slave was outside and seemed to hear what was going on, but the old slave did not know what was going on. .”

Qi Ning asked curiously, “A painting? Which one is this singing?”

Before Han Shou could speak, he heard Gu Qinghan’s voice from behind: “Manager Han, Mr. Hou is eating, you should go out first.” In the voice, Gu Qinghan had already walked over and sat down opposite Qi Ning, Han Shou hurriedly lowered his head. head, back down quickly.

“Don’t move your chopsticks yet?” Gu Qinghan frowned when he saw that the food on the table was still there, “eat well, don’t worry about those useless things, and let people clean up after eating.”

Qi Ning smiled, picked up the chopsticks, glanced at Gu Qinghan, hesitated, and said, “Sanniang, what the hell is going on with that painting?”

“What’s going on?” Gu Qinghan said angrily: “It has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to ask more, who did the sin, let him pay for it himself, so as not to tire others.” At this point, the circles of his eyes were still a little red. Seemingly not wanting to be seen by Qi Ning, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com turned his face away.

Seeing Gu Qinghan like this, Qi Ning knew that the matter must be no small matter, put down his chopsticks, and said softly: “If something happens to my uncle, we can’t just ignore it. If we can help, we will naturally help. Sanniang, What happened, tell me, and see if I can come up with a solution.”

“There’s no way.” Gu Qinghan said: “If you really help, just go and tell the Kyoto government, let them put the useless things in early, and stay in prison for a lifetime.” Speaking of this, but Feeling bitter, he turned around, turned his back on Xining, and took a shampoo to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“Why is it related to the capital?” Qi Ning asked curiously, “Where is my uncle now?” He got up, walked to Gu Qinghan’s side, and said softly, “Sanniang, don’t be sad, just tell me if you have anything. , I can always think of a way, you can easily hurt your body like this.”

Gu Qinghan raised his head and glanced at Qi Ning, the tears in his eyes did not disappear, the water was very moving, he bit his red lips, hesitated for a moment, then said: “He owes 60,000 taels of silver for the famine, and there are two more days. , if the money cannot be repaid, they will be sued to the Kyoto prefecture, and then they will have to be arrested and thrown into the big prison.”

“60,000 taels of silver?” Qi Ning was startled, “Uncle owes 60,000 taels of silver? What is going on here?”

He knew the Gu family quite well. The Gu family and the Qi family were both prominent families in Jiangling back then, and they had great influence in the local area. The Gu family had a lot of pavement real estate in Jingzhou, and they had strong financial resources. Even today, Gu Qinghan’s maiden family can be regarded as a family. A rich man, although 60,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, it is completely affordable for the Gu family.

Gu Wenwen’s family came to the capital, and even bought a few stores in the capital to do business. This is not something that ordinary rich people can do. Qi Ning really can’t figure out how this old man owes 60,000 taels of silver. of famine.
