Return of the Swallow

"The things that the boss ordered have been arranged properly, and we will act tonight. Do you want to go see it in person?" Master Zhong's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Such a wonderful scene, I naturally want to see it, but it's inconvenient for my identity to stay outside for a long time. Why don't I think of a way to pass my father's bright road."

Qin Yining's fair-skinned hands wearing the hibiscus jade bracelet rubbed the white porcelain teacup, her pink and lustrous fingernails tapped on the wall of the cup, and suddenly smiled: "Forget it, my father is resourceful, it's not a wise move for me to lie to him or deceive him temporarily. "

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "According to the old man's intention, it is better for the owner to tell the truth directly with the Marquis, otherwise it will not be good to cause misunderstandings."

"That's right." Qin Yining then carefully confirmed a series of arrangements with the shopkeeper Zhong Da in a low voice, and returned to the house.

In the afternoon, Qin Yining took Ji Yun to the study room in the outer courtyard.

Qi Tai was squatting beside the potted plants in the corridor to trim the branches and leaves of a pot of tea jasmine. He heard footsteps, looked up to see Qin Yining coming, and hurriedly greeted him, "Fourth Miss."

"Is father here?"

"Master Hou is here, the villain will go back to Master Hou."

Qitai put down the flower scissors, turned around and lifted the light blue oleander curtain to enter the house, and came out after a while to respectfully invite Qin Yining in.

The study room was still the same. Qin Huaiyuan was wearing a home-made light gray fine cotton and sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed by the window, reading a book. When he saw Qin Yining come in, he smiled and said, "Sister Yi is here, sit down."

Qin Yining sat down on the other side of the square table, waved the screen and stepped back, before saying, "Father, my daughter has a good show for you to watch."

Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyes in surprise, put down the book, the words "Zuo Zhuan" were written on the blue cover.

"The stage for the daughter's theater is set up, and the actors are also found. Everything is ready. There is only one audience left for the father. Would you like to watch it with your daughter?"

Looking at Qin Yining's little fox-like smile on his face that was very similar to his own when he was young, Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Come on, tell me, who else is going to be calculated."

In the Cixiao Garden in the evening, the old lady sat sullenly and cross-legged on the Arhat bed, holding a brass sapphire mouth dry smoke, but she didn't take a sip for a long time.

Mrs. Sun, the second wife and the third wife stood aside.

Miss Three, Miss Six, Miss Seven, Miss Eight, and Qin Huining were all standing or sitting beside her, joking and laughing, trying to make the old lady happy.

"...I'm going to start making the soft shoes that I wear in my grandmother's house. I've already drawn the pattern. I'll show you when I look back. If you don't like it, I'll change it." Qin Huining held the old lady's hand. Hand smiled.

Although the old lady is not the same to Qin Huining now, she is also a lot closer to her in Cao Yuqing's face.

If she would have laughed on weekdays, she was still unhappy at this moment. She pushed aside Qin Huining's hand, and handed the cigarette bag to Qin mama who was serving on the side.

"What did you say? He was so busy that he had to take Sister Yi out for anything. He hadn't come to say hello to me for so many days! I think he almost forgot about me!"

"Where would it be? How busy Lord Hou is, others don't know, how can the old lady know?" Qin mama persuaded with a smile.

Qin Huining also said: "Yeah, don't be angry, grandmother, not to mention that the lady was ill a few days ago, so it's okay for Lord Hou to take more care of the lady."

The old lady glared at Sun Shi and snorted coldly.

Although the Sun family no longer had any expectations for Qin Huining, she was extremely disappointed to see her disregarding her love for many years and smearing herself in front of the old lady as usual.

It's just that she has always been flamboyant, so how can she excel?

"Don't worry about it, Mrs. Hou is busy with government affairs, and the ties at home are limited, not to mention that Sister Yi is very smart, and Lord Hou likes her to be like himself, and the daughter-in-law looks at Lord Hou and wants to put Sister Yi When a boy came to teach, I might have something serious today, and I have to take Sister Yi out, and there are some who come in the second door without making room for fear."

Although Sun shi was laughing, everything he said poked into the hearts of the old lady and Qin Huining.

Their sons (fathers) were all focused on court affairs, and when they had free time, they would love Qin Yining and leave them all behind. But Sun was right, Qin Yining was indeed like his father, and he was more worthy of training.

The old lady snorted coldly, "If you get three points of color, you can open a dyeing workshop."

"It's fortunate that I had a good daughter back then. I'm not as lucky as the old lady, and I have children and grandchildren around my knees. I only have one girl, Sister Yi. If she's not filial, who can I expect?" She looked at Qin Huining mockingly.

Qin Huining bit her lip, and her drooping eyebrows covered her resentment. Sure enough, Qin Yining was his biological daughter, so she was not Sun's daughter. Since the Sun family is not benevolent, she cannot be blamed for her injustice!

When Qin Huining lowered her head and seemed aggrieved, she already had an idea in her mind.

Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan were naturally unaware of the dispute in the mansion, and Qin Yining was even less aware that the old lady and Qin Huining were jealous because Qin Huaiyuan valued her.

In the middle of the night, just after the drum was beaten, a house on Yongkang Street in Beijuxianfang caught fire.

Fortunately, this place is close to the Water Dragon Bureau and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses. Soon, the people from the Water Dragon Bureau rushed over with a water cart and rushed in to put out the fire.

Who knows, just after spraying the water, the fire blazed even more vigorously, as if a basin of hot oil had been poured on it.

The people from the Water Dragon Bureau were flustered when they saw it, and they hurriedly sprayed water to put out the fire, but the more the fire broke out, the more they realized that something was wrong. The water, the layer that floated on top of it that was just pulled out to put out the fire was actually oil! At this time, the remaining water in the waterwheel still had a shallow layer of oil floating on it.

In this way, the accidental fire became a deliberate arson.

The people from the Wucheng Soldiers and the Horse Division and the Water Dragon Bureau were all anxious, and the fire that had been fueled by the oil just now engulfed the entire inner courtyard at once.

The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and although it is hoped that the fire will be extinguished, the people in the yard can't wait to be burned to death, right?

In the yard, tall men ran out one after another in disheveled clothes, and the screams of women could be heard indirectly.

Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan wore black cloaks and hid their bodies in the shadows of the back alley.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da ran over and said in a low voice, "Master, it's done!"

Qin Yining said in a low voice: "Okay, pay attention to guarding the front and back alleys, so that our people don't have to keep their hands behind, grab one when they come out, and remove their jaws first, lest they bite their tongues and commit suicide. Broken legs, while the inside is busy putting out the fire and the outside does not know, we have arrested all these people and sent them to the place we prepared in advance."

"Yes! Don't worry, the owner!" Master Zhong rubbed his hands and walked quickly.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and looked down at his daughter who was standing beside him, "Let's go too."

"Yes, father."

The figures of the father and daughter quietly sneaked into the depths of the alley.
