Dawei Fanghua

Just like yesterday, Qin Liang walked around the school affairs office after lunch and did not want to take care of the school affairs office for the time being.Back in the front hall, Qin Liang met with Yinci Wu Xin, sent them an errand, and went home directly.

Towards evening, a guest came to the house.Qin Liang walked out of the upper room and saw a girl disguised as a man. He looked familiar. When he got a bamboo slip given by the girl, he immediately remembered... the girl was someone close to Lu.

Qin Liang picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it. There was a line written on it: A gift to you and a small gift to an old friend of Taixue.

That's right, it's Lu's handwriting.Mrs. Lu has not contacted Qin Liang since they had an appointment two years ago. It should be Qin Liang's performance at that time that made her feel at ease when she got the desired result.What does it mean to suddenly send someone a gift after such a long time?
The girl who delivered the letter held a wooden box and said, "Qin Jun, can you take a step to speak?"

Qin Liang called the girl to a secluded wing.

He sat down on a rope bed, took the wooden box, opened it and looked at it for a while: "What is this, jewelry?" He took the thing out of the box, but he didn't think it was jewelry. The front end was from big to small. There are several jade balls threaded together. The jade stones of different sizes are close to each other and cannot move. The ends are connected to a string of sparse agarwood beads.Judging from the material and workmanship, the price is quite high.

The girl said: "Madam said that when I met you, I didn't know there was such a thing, otherwise I would have suffered less."

Qin Liang never mentioned this to the third person, but Lu actually told others herself.But this girl should have been married to her from her mother's family and someone she trusted, otherwise Mrs. Lu wouldn't have told her.

"Oh." Qin Liang said suddenly, "But what's the use?" The girl's eyes evaded, as if she was embarrassed, and she whispered: "Farmers in the countryside are not allowed to plow the land before farming?" Qin Liang nodded and asked curiously: "Why do farmers have to plow that piece of land?" The girl whispered: "Plow it first, and then plow that piece of land at the last moment. This way both parties will be better off. Madam hates that man now, but she doesn't want to be too harsh on him."

Qin Liang finally understood, "It means that Madam sent you to arrange a time and place?"

The girl nodded awkwardly.

Qin Liang calmed down, thought for a while and asked again: "She was beaten?"

The girl showed a surprised look, "How did you know?"

Qin Liang said: "I guessed it." He took a breath between his teeth and shook his head and said, "But it's not right. Madam Lu wants to take revenge on Mr. He? From what I know about her, she doesn't seem to be that kind of person. Why do this?"

The girl was silent for a while, as if thinking about it, and finally said: "Madam said so...he said something at the Zhong family manor. Didn't he promise me not to tell it? What else could he say? I'm not that person." Such a person, what kind of revenge is just slandering Mr. He? Tsk, no matter how nice the words are, I really believe it. Doesn’t he just want to threaten me and let me accompany him to do that kind of thing..."

"Wait a minute." Qin Liang said, "Don't worry, what did I say at Zhong Shiji Manor? That day was August [-]th. It didn't take long. I remember it very clearly."

The girl said: "Didn't you quietly tell people that you had a hidden affair with your wife when you were at Imperial College?"

Qin Liang suddenly blurted out: "Mrs. Lu was deceived by He Jun!"

Then Qin Liang frowned again and said, "How did she answer, admit it?"

The girl said: "Madam only said that there was nothing hidden, but she was beaten anyway, with wounds all over her face."

Qin Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Fortunately, I was just thinking that Mrs. Lu should not be such a stupid person. She is so baseless. What does she believe?"

After all, everyone is now married. Qin Liang doesn't want to dwell on the past, so it's best to just pretend it never happened.

The girl's voice said: "You mean you didn't say those words?"

Qin Liang said: "Why should I say that? Mrs. Lu actually believed what He Jun said."

The girl pursed her thin lips and said, "How do you know, madam? Did you tell me?" Qin Liang didn't bother to refute. He briefly recalled the scene of that day and said, "My conversation with Mr. He was not on the same page at that time, but we were talking about school affairs." Regarding the official position issue, Mrs. Lu was not mentioned at all. There was a man named Liu who was watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal. He was there to stir up trouble, saying that Mr. He always had trouble with me and whether he had some secret affair with Mrs. Lu. Mr. He I immediately became angry, and if not for the persuasion of many people, I would have started a fight."

He paused and said, "What's the name of the person named Liu? He's only a teenager anyway. What happened at Taixue a few years ago, I'm afraid he was still reading the Analects at home at that time. Who knows, he was there just to stir up trouble." Nonsense. I even said something at that time..."

Because it had only been a few days, Qin Liang remembered the original words after a moment's thought, "Mrs. Shi Lu's father is an official in Taixue, and there are more than one or two people who know Mrs. Lu, so why bother trying to catch someone up?"

The girl asked: "Did you really speak for Madam?"

Qin Liang said: "There are more than one or two guests in the manor. Madam, if you ask someone to inquire, don't you know? It has only been a few days, everyone must still remember it."

The girl said: "Why do you have the nerve to ask about such things? It's very strange for both the wife and the concubine to ask anyone. Why do you ask without a guilty conscience?"

Qin Liang immediately said: "She is just too guilty. May I ask what's wrong?"

The girl said: "Master He insisted that it was Jun who said it. His wife was beaten, so he also thought that Jun might have said something to others secretly and wanted to beat her up."

Qin Liang said: "You go back and tell Mrs. Lu that the things that happened before were not a big deal, just forget about it. And those words about hidden things were not said by me."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Did you ever mention it before others would think more about it?"

Qin Liang was stunned.

The girl glanced at him, probably afraid that he would get angry, so she finally stopped pestering her and just asked softly: "Don't you want to make an appointment? We've already found a place."

Qin Liang shook his head and sighed: "There is no need to take that risk now. My wife is already a woman, and I can't control her family affairs, but I will never betray her. Tell her, I really don't resent her, nor will I Why don't you believe me when you threaten her?"

For a moment, Qin Liang even guessed that He Jun seemed to like to flirt with women outside. Did he do this kind of thing too much, making Lu feel that all men are like that?
However, Qin Liang took a look at the box on the case and thought it was quite interesting. This kind of thing was very rare at this time, and it was hard to find it with money. Moreover, it could be seen from the string that it was brand new and unused.Lu said it was a gift for him, so Qin Liang reached out and took it in his hand to look at it silently.

When the girl saw this, she said, "Madam, I'll give it to you, and you'll just keep it."

Qin Liang smiled.

The girl whispered again: "Madam often goes to the big market over Dongyang Gate, the largest brocade shop. If you have something to meet, please wait until madam goes to the big market, and don't show your letters to outsiders."

Qin Liang suddenly said: "I remember, but nothing will happen." He took someone else's expensive gift and asked casually, "Is Mrs. Lu's injury okay?"

The girl said: "It's just a flesh wound, it shouldn't be serious."

Qin Liang nodded and said, "That's good."

The girl bowed and said, "I will report back to you truthfully, madam. Please take your leave."

Qin Liang got up and sent her out of the room, calling Rao Dashan who was following her home to see her off.He took the box in his hand, walked back to the side room, looked around, and walked out again.After a while, he came to the room where the slips were kept next to the upper room, and put the wooden box into a linen bag containing the slips.
