Romance Chinese Network, update the latest chapter of Jinyi Spring and Autumn as soon as possible!

Along the Qinhuai River, red lights and green willows, in the midsummer season, a gust of wind blows, but it makes people feel refreshed.

The sparkling, rather wide Qinhuai River is like a big mirror, reflecting the scenery on both sides in the water. A breathtaking view.

When Qi Ning fell by the river, it was already past lunch time. Because of the hot weather, many people were locked out of their homes, and under the shade of the trees by the river, it was quite lively, with many people under the shade of the trees. Playing chess, singing, and fortune-telling, the gentleman pretended to close his eyes deeply, waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Wang Xiang had been standing on the side of the boat, sweating profusely under the sun, and when he saw Qi Ning coming over, he was immediately excited, and hurriedly came over to greet Qi Ning and boarded the boat.

Qi Ning has been to Zhuo Xian’er’s painting boat several times at night. The lights are bright at night, and the painting boat looks very magnificent. However, it is daytime. Whether it is Qinhuai River or the painting boat, it is not as stunning as night.

“Miss Zhuo is on the boat?” Qi Ning put his hands on his back and followed Wang Xiang upstairs.

Wang Xiang said: “The girl has been waiting all the time. The little one was worried that the Hou Ye was busy with official business today and could not come, but the girl said that the Hou Ye would definitely come.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning said with a smile, “Could it be that your girl still can’t make a fortune?” Before speaking, he had reached the cabin on the second floor.

However, Xian’er’s soft voice came from the room: “Xian’er doesn’t know how to do fortune-telling, but I know that the Marquis will not leave Xian’er alone.” At this time, the cabin curtain was lifted, and only Zhuo Xian’er with outstanding eyebrows was standing. Behind the cabin curtain, his brows were full of sweet smiles, and he was looking at Qi Ning.

Xian’er was wearing a green emerald cigarette shirt, her shoulders were shrunk to a waist, and her brows were three-pointed under the sunlight.

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Aren’t you taking a break?” Going into the cabin, Xian’er gave Wang Xiang a wink, and Wang Xiang immediately retreated.

On the contrary, the cabin was cool and pleasant. Qi Ning glanced at it and saw a wooden bucket on the side with ice cubes in it. It turned out that ice cubes were used to dissipate heat. Qi Ning knew that this era was not like later generations, although there were indeed people. Ice cubes are stored in winter and sold in midsummer, but they are very expensive and not ordinary people can consume.

Because the cabin uses ice to cool off the heat, the windows are closed to prevent the cold air from leaking out.

The cabin is still as clean and tidy as before. Sandalwood is lit, and the guzheng is still placed on the table. There is a small square table next to the guzheng, with melon and fruit snacks on it, and two embroidered futons in the basement.

Qi Ning was wearing a thin shirt outside. After entering the cabin, Xian’er had walked up to Qi Ning’s back very obediently, just like a husband who had been waiting at home for a long time to wait for the returning husband to take off his clothes. Difficulty, but at this moment Xian’er is so cute and cute, it still warms Qi Ning’s heart. Under Xian’er’s service, she took off her shirt and walked over to sit down on an embroidered futon.

This is already a familiar road, and he is not polite.

Xian’er put her coat on the hanger, glanced at Qi Ning, smiled sweetly, then turned to the back of a screen, and quickly came out, holding a jade bowl in her hand, knelt down beside Qi Ning and sat down , carefully placed the jade bowl in front of Qi Ning, but inside was a bowl of bird’s nest rock sugar water, and he could see a few pieces of broken ice inside.

“Master Hou, let’s cool off first.” Xian’er said softly, taking a small spoon from the table and handing it to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning turned his head to look at her. Seeing that she was beautiful and unparalleled, there was a hint of caution between her brows. Clear spring-like eyes seemed to be able to flow clear water at any time, and she looked very attractive. Qi Ning sighed, took the spoon, and ate it. After a few sips, I caught a glimpse of Xian’er staring at him without blinking.

Xian’er said softly: “No…nothing, just…I haven’t seen the Marquis for a long time, so…so I want to take a good look.”

Qi Ning put down the bowl and said, “It’s not too long.” Looking around,

Only then did he ask, “Haven’t you rested today? I thought you were sleeping.”

“Master Hou… Is Master Hou still blaming me?” Xian’er lowered her head slightly and said timidly: “Is it… Is it because the things Xian’er did make Master Hou unhappy?”

She spoke softly and gently, and seemed to be blaming herself, which seemed to make people feel pity, Qi Ning sighed softly: “Don’t think too much, there is nothing to blame.”

“Master Hou is blaming me for saying this.” Xian’er bit her pink lips, “I…I know it’s my fault, but I just don’t want Master Hou to be angry.”

Qi Ning originally thought that Xian’er would deliberately hide it, and he wouldn’t mention her if he didn’t mention her, but at this time she took the initiative to say it, which was a bit unexpected, but Xian’er didn’t hide it and made him feel better. He hesitated, Then he asked, “Who picked you up?”

Xian’er lowered her head, hesitated to speak, but did not speak.

Qi Ning said lightly: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it, it’s me who is nosy.”

“Master Hou, you…don’t say that.” Xian’er raised her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes. “If you say that, Xian’er is very painful.”

Qi Ning shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand, wiped the tears from the corner of Xian’er’s eyes with his thumb, and said softly, “It’s okay, don’t cry, I won’t ask. If you don’t say it, you will naturally have your own difficulties.”

“No.” Xian’er suddenly raised her hand and held Qi Ning’s hand, “That’s why Xian’er was not allowed to reveal half a word, and said…and said that if Xian’er said it, it might lead to death. , not only brought disaster to Xian’er herself, but also… and whoever I tell, will also bring disaster to that person. Xian’er doesn’t want to see the little thing happen to Lord Hou.”

Qi Ning really didn’t want to ask, but after hearing Xian’er say this, his face sank, and he sneered: “There are still such domineering people in the capital? Xian’er, I really want to know who is so powerful now.”

Xian’er hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: “Master Hou, Xian’er… Xian’er has always regarded herself as your person, and will not hide anything from you. It’s just… it’s just Xian’er begging. You agree to a request, otherwise…otherwise, even if Hou Ye blames Xian’er, Xian’er will not say it.”

“any request?”

Xian’er said with tears in her eyes: “Master Hou promised Xian’er that when you leave this door, just pretend that Xian’er didn’t say anything, okay?”

She pleaded softly, and Qi Ning stroked her face with her fingers, and said softly, “As long as he doesn’t hurt you, I’ll treat it like nothing happened.”

Xian’er nodded hurriedly: “Okay, Lord Hou agreed to Xian’er, Xian’er will tell Lord Hou.” Although the doors and windows were closed, he still looked left and right, and then approached Qi Ning’s side, pressing his soft chest on Qi Ning’s shoulder. , Qi Ning felt its fullness and elasticity in an instant, Xian’er leaned closer to Lord Hou’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Master Hou, do you remember Mr. Xiao who came with you last time?”

“Young Master Xiao?” Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that the previous little emperor Long Taimi saw Swing Yi, who was called Young Master Xiao when he saw Swing Yi on this painting boat, and said in surprise: “Yes… Is it him? Is he picking you up?”

Xian’er said softly: “Originally… Xian’er didn’t want to go to see anyone. That night, someone came to find Xian’er and asked Xian’er to see Xiao Gongzi, and said that Xiao Gongzi was Hou Ye’s friend, Hou Ye When I was abroad, Young Master Xiao had something to discuss with me. I was… at that time, I was very curious, I didn’t know why Young Master Xiao would talk to me about something, but… But knowing that he had a close relationship with Lord Hou, I was worried that he was looking for me to be related to Lord Hou, so…!”

“So it is.” Qi Ning suddenly realized at this time: “Then you know who he is now?”

Xian’er hummed softly and said, “That man picked me up in a carriage and blindfolded me. Until I saw that Young Master Xiao, I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know who he was the first two times, but …..But the third time I went, I was curious and wanted to know why he didn’t even let me see where he lived, and…and he had to walk a long way every time. Got somewhere, so…!”

“So you took a peek at the surrounding environment and found the flaw.” Qi Ning laughed.

Xian’er bit her red lips and nodded lightly: “I…I secretly saw a eunuch on the road, and…and that place is magnificent, not like an ordinary place. Although… Although Young Master Xiao has never admitted his identity, I have already guessed who he is.”

“Xian’er is smart and clever, so she can see through it naturally.” Qi Ning sighed, “It turned out that it was Young Master Xiao who picked you up. Did he tell you not to show off?”

“No, no.” Xian’er hurriedly waved her hand and said, “It’s not him, he rarely talks to me, it’s the person who picked me up who told me not to talk nonsense. The more he doesn’t let me talk, the more I doubt Young Master Xiao’s identity. Otherwise, even if it is a high-ranking official, there is no need to hide it from the outside world.”

“That’s right.” Qi Ning said, “That’s the emperor, they’re taking you into the palace.” He frowned, “Why did he want to take you into the palace? Could it be…!” “Don’t get me wrong, Xian’er. … Xian’er is still… still in perfect shape.” Xian’er blushed and lowered her head: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty has never offended Xian’er in the slightest. To take Xian’er into the palace, it is… to let Xian’er play the piano for him, and he asks Xian’er to play the Manzhu Shahua every time.”

Qi Ning understands even more. The last time the little emperor came here, Xian’er played a manzhushahua, which made people cry. At that time, the little emperor was very moved. It was inconvenient for the little emperor to leave the palace, and even more inconvenient to appear in Qinhuai. River, so he arranged for someone to take Xian’er into the palace to perform.

“Xian’er played so well, even the emperor was moved.” Qi Ning knew the truth and felt relieved. He couldn’t help wrapping his arms around Xian’er’s waist and letting her sit on his body. Xian’er was a little shy and hesitated. He still raised an arm, gently hooked Qi Ning’s neck, bit his lip, and said, “Master Hou… Is Master Hou still angry with me?”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “I’ve never been angry with you in the first place.” His words were insincere, Xian’er smiled beautifully, and said, “I can see that Hou Ye is lying.” Then he said quietly, “Actually… ..Actually, Lord Hou is angry with Xian’er, but Xian’er is…instead, he is happy, Lord Hou is angry, it means… that Lord Hou cares about Xian’er.”

“Xian’er is gentle and considerate, and as beautiful as a fairy, who can care?”

Xian’er immediately said: “I don’t care if others care, as long as…as long as the Hou Ye cares about Xian’er, Xian’er will be satisfied.” He raised his hand, and a soft, boneless weed caressed Qi Ning’s face. Going up, he said softly: “Xian’er… Xian’er has no relatives, and… no one really cares about Xian’er, only Hou Ye is kind to Xian’er, Xian’er… Xian’er is in her heart. There is only Lord Hou…!”

Qi Ning’s heart softened, thinking that this little beauty is indeed a pitiful person, and said softly: “How can Xian’er know that I really care about you? What if I am hypocritical and just want to take advantage of Xian’er?”

Xian’er smiled beautifully and said, “Although Xian’er is not smart, you can still tell whether a person is sincere or false.”

Qi Ning couldn’t help being moved, thinking that if Zhuo Xian’er was really sincere in her friendship, she couldn’t let her down, she said softly, “I told you before I went to Dong Qi to come back to settle you. I’m going to redeem you first, if you want, I want to buy you a house and put you in.” Immediately, he said solemnly, “You don’t have to think that I want a golden house to hide your beauty. After you settle it, you will live on your own. If you really have someone you like, then I won’t stop you.”

Xian’er turned her waist and was sitting upright, her delicate body trembling slightly: “Master Hou… Master Hou wants to redeem Xian’er?”

“I have some money in my hand, but I don’t know how much money it will cost to redeem your life.” Qi Ning said, “I will have someone talk to them at that time, and it will be good for you to recover your freedom. You still have three years to be free, and they don’t dare to ask for a price.”

Xian’er lowered her head slightly and was silent for a while, then she raised her head and stared at Qi Ning, those beautiful eyes trembled slightly: “Master Hou, Xian’er… Xian’er is a firework girl after all, you… you Why are you being so nice to me?”

“Firework girl?” Qi Ning smiled lightly: “I have never regarded you as a firework girl, and you are not really a firework girl. What’s more, what about a firework girl, isn’t it a person? Instead, it’s those deep houses and courtyards, look at them one by one. A person who is extravagant and luxurious, full of male thieves and female prostitutes, may not be comparable to the fireworks girl.”

Xian’er leaned close to the past, leaning her head on Qi Ning’s shoulder, and said quietly, “Master Hou, don’t be too kind to me, otherwise… I don’t know how to repay you.”

“Hahaha, a man’s words are his own words. I said that I should take care of you well, but I can’t take my word for it.” Qi Ning raised his hand and stroked Xian’er’s hair: “The people on the boat, you can go back and make arrangements. After being with you for so long, Make arrangements for others.” He took a few silver notes from his arms and said, “Here is one thousand taels of silver. You can use it for now. If you are short of money, come back and tell me.”

He holds more than 20,000 taels of silver in his hand, which is an astronomical sum for ordinary people. It is not bad for ordinary people to earn 120 taels of silver a year. One thousand taels of silver is enough for Xian’er to get on the boat. The people are all settled.

Qi Ning doesn’t worry about running out of money when he arrives now. Mrs. Tian has dividends every month. When she goes back, she will send money to join the business and expand the business. The dividends will only increase in the future. Even if you really raise Xian’er, then Also effortless.
