Chapter 39 The Man in the Forest(1/2)

Along the way, Mrs. Qin asked Qin Tian carefully whether he was used to living in Liefeng Mountain House, whether there was a shortage of food and drink, and whether he could withstand the strong winds and clouds on the mountain, and finally replied.

"Your brother has gone to several health centers along the east coast and won't be able to come back for a while. If there are any disobedient people in the mountain house, just replace them. Your brother is always away. The people below will inevitably be negligent in doing things. Neglectful."

Qin Tian responded vaguely.

She thought Mrs. Qin would never have imagined that her brother had been injured in Liefeng Mountain House for less than half a month.

How can anyone in the mountain house dare to be negligent?

However, the elder brother used the Shen Family Army's secret medicine brought by Shen Xiao, and his injuries recovered much faster. Even Qin Tian felt that he would be back to normal in about ten days.

But Mrs. Qin doesn't need to know this.

She has a well-behaved appearance, fair and delicate. She listens carefully to everything Mrs. Qin says. She is very good at memorizing the rules. When talking about the intricate relationships between the various wealthy families in Qingzhou Prefecture, she asks questions if she doesn’t understand. Mrs. Qin only reads It would be nice to see her everywhere, but I only blame myself for not treating her well before. Now I just treat her like my own daughter. After getting out of the car, I held Qin Tian's hand and walked inside.

Qin Tian was coming. Before her arrival, only the Wei family knew about it, but now, all the guests know about it.

Although she was the daughter of a concubine, Mrs. Qin did not have a girl on her knees, but she loved this little girl very much.

People who had heard rumors before and thought that a concubine daughter would definitely arouse the hatred of her aunt-in-law, now started to think about this daughter of the Qin family again, and even asked her about her age. Hearing that she was about to get haircut, she secretly began to plan her marriage.

Qin Tianju didn't care about this. It was her first time to attend such an occasion. According to her brother's instructions, she just followed Mrs. Qin in everything. Besides, Mrs. Qin's health had just recovered, so it was normal for her to serve around her.

There was nothing visible about the Qin family's flower banquet from the outside, just a few pots of flowers placed outside the door, but it was only after entering the yard that we saw the real chapter.

Everywhere in the courtyard is well spent, precious spring flowers are in full bloom, and ten flower viewing areas are created at different heights. When people visit the garden, they feel like they are swimming in the sea of ​​flowers, but they never dazzle their eyes. There are also well-dressed maids everywhere. Can explain a few sentences about the origin of famous flowers.

Qin Tian's ears were full.

However, Mrs. Qin was not very interested in this and kept talking to several ladies.

Qin Tian heard first that the eldest son of the Wei family was unable to come today because of his condition.

This is really disappointing.

But how can people who are unable to attend the palace examination due to illness be able to attend the banquet at home? It is understandable.

But there is also an elderly lady in the Wei family, Wei Miao's grandmother. When this old lady came, even Mrs. Qin cheered up.

Wei Miao was following her grandmother, Mrs. Wei. When she saw Qin Tian, ​​she came forward to salute her affectionately, and then took Qin Tian's hand and looked at her.

"I just said that you usually dress more casually in the academy, and this outfit suits you better."

This is one of several dresses that Mrs. Qin asked the sewing room to make for her. The other dresses Qin Tian thought were too delicate and delicate. This was a daylily-yellow Sichuan brocade jacket and a beige 12-piece Xiang skirt embroidered with daylily flowers.

Even so, the clothes make people look as bright and attractive as daylilies.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Tian and Wei Miao. Qin Tian had never been so close to Wei Miao, but when Wei Miao acted without any grudges, he could only accompany him without being rude.

At this time, one of the female relatives smiled and said something.

"Looking at the two little girls, they really look like sisters from the same family!"

Someone answered.

"Isn't that right? It's hard to tell. Maybe the two of them are a direct family."

This statement made everyone laugh.

Qin Tian became even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, the old lady of the Wei family spoke and the matter was cleared up. Wei Miao was not called aside by her mother for questioning.

Most of the time, Mrs. Qin did not come out to socialize in person. Today, she brought Qin Tian to the Wei family's flower banquet. Mrs. Wei also paid great attention to it and talked to Mrs. Qin several times as soon as she sat down.

Other female family members also made more jokes about "the Qin and Wei family".

Several ladies of the Wei family responded with smiles, and Qin Tian gradually saw some meaning.

It seems that the Wei family wants to marry the Qin family.

She couldn't help but think of Wei Miao's special attention to her brother when she was in the academy.

So does the Wei family want to marry Wei Miao to her brother?

Although she was not close to Wei Miao, looking at Qingzhou, her status as the legitimate daughter of the Wei family clan was indeed suitable for the eldest son of the Qin family.

Qin Tian sat quietly and listened to the sounds coming from everywhere. Not long after, Wei Miao came to her again.

"Tiantian, would you like to go out with me for a walk? It is said that our ancestors hired a gardener to build this courtyard. It is quite interesting. I will tell you about it one by one."

Qin Tian couldn't make the decision, so he went to see Mrs. Qin's intention, but before Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, Mrs. Wei said.

"There is no reason to let little girls accompany us all. We are of the same age and can go wherever they want."

After she said this, many ladies in the hall sent their girls out to enjoy the flowers. Naturally, Mrs. Qin also said to Qin Tian, ​​"Go out and walk around. Just ask the maid to follow you."

In this way, Qin Tian could only follow Wei Miao to the courtyard.

Wei Miao did exactly what she said, and kept talking to Qin Tian about the courtyard built by the gardeners.

This courtyard is indeed exquisite, especially in the late spring and early summer, when the spring flowers are in full bloom, the green trees are lush and green like clouds, and the garden scenery is even better.

The two walked for a while and met someone.

It was Wei Miao's cousin He Qiu. For a while, Wei Miao and He Qiu changed places, letting He Qiu sit in the seat in front of Qin Tian.

He Qiu had a dull temperament. He sat in front of Qin Tian for many days and never took the initiative to turn around and say a word to Qin Tian.

At this moment, Wei Miao and Qin Tian came over from the path. When Wei Miao saw He Qiu, he called her.

"My cousin is here, Tiantian is here too."

Who would have thought that when she said this, He Qiu didn't seem to hear her, and kept looking towards a lush forest not far away.

Wei Miao didn't expect that she would ignore him, her expression changed, and she called He Qiu while explaining to Qin Tian.

"My cousin has a boring temper. After my uncle passed away, my aunt brought her to live with us, and she was always in a daze. Don't mind me, Tiantian."

After saying that, he called He Qiu again, and He Qiu came back to his senses.

When she saw the two people standing behind her, she was stunned for a moment. Wei Miao stepped forward and asked, "What is my cousin looking at?" She quickly shook her head, whispered that she "didn't look at anything", and then said

He looked for his mother and left quickly.

Qin Tian glanced at He Qiu secretly, and then looked in the direction she had just looked at, but there was nothing unusual there except for a lush forest.

Wei Miao told Qin Tian not to pay attention, and was about to take her around, but a maid came to look for her.

"Girl, here you are, some aunts are talking about you, please come over and talk."

Wei Miao was a little impatient, but the maid kept saying a few words and mentioned a few names, but Wei Miao hesitated.

Qin Tian then said, "You go ahead, I can just walk around casually."

After she said this, Wei Miao left.

Qin Tian felt more at ease without her by his side. He walked with Su Ye for a while, hoping to find a secluded place to sit down and rest.

Qin Tian didn't find the place, but suddenly saw a white pom-pom dangling from his sight.

"Is it a white rabbit?" Qin Tian asked Su Ye if he saw it.

Su Ye also saw it and pointed to a trail along the west side, "It seems to be going there."

Perhaps it was because there was a silly rabbit at home, Qin Tian liked rabbits so much, he chased the white rabbit and walked over.

At first, I could still catch the shadow of the rabbit, but after walking for a while, I couldn't find the rabbit.

"He ran away without a trace." Qin Tian shook his head in amusement, "More timid than Fei Fei."

Su Ye also smiled and advised Qin Tian not to go too far and go back along the original road.

Qin Tian thought the same thing, but the master and servant tried to go back along the original road, but after walking back and forth, they turned back to the original place.

Qin Tian and Su Ye were both surprised. Neither of them were easy to get lost. How could they not find their way back?

"Then let's find another way." Qin Tian said.

This time, the master and the servant walked in the direction where there was a voice not far away, thinking that they could always get out if they looked for the voice. They would just ask for directions when they saw others.

Who would have thought that we would go around in a circle again and come back to the starting point again.

Qin Tian and Su Ye looked at each other.

Su Ye was a little uneasy, "Why is there such a strange place in the Wei family's garden?"

It was indeed strange. Qin Tian looked around and called Su Ye, "You and I don't want to get separated. Let's try another way."

This time, Qin Tian and Su Ye walked for a while and smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The two of them walked over following the scent, and across a small bamboo forest, there was someone sitting on a futon on the other side, with a small mahogany case set up on his knees and burning incense.

Anyone who can burn incense here must be very familiar with the road in the forest.

Qin Tian approached to ask for directions. As he got closer, he faintly saw that the person on the other side of the bamboo forest was a man wearing a moon-white Taoist robe.

Qin Tian entered this place by mistake, bumped into his foreigner again, and stopped in embarrassment.

The bamboo leaves underfoot squeaked, disturbing the person opposite, and the man's hand holding the incense paused slightly.

Qin Tian secretly thought that he was rude and didn't want to ask the person opposite him with a smile.

"But you're lost?"

When he asked, Qin Tian couldn't care less and quickly saluted and asked for directions.
