Loyal heart travels a long way

By the time Qin Yong returned to the Qin Mansion with a heavy heart, it was almost midnight.

The lights in the row of the main room were still on, and the maids at the door came up to salute, but Qin Yong waved his hand to tell them not to speak, and walked in.

I thought that Song Zhiyao must be asleep, but when he walked in, he found that the little garlic seedling was not in the room, Qin Yong turned around and went out of the room to ask the servant girl, "Where is Yao'er?"

"Go back to your lord, the little master is in the little study."

Qin Yong nodded and went to the left ear room again.

He and Song Zhiyao were the only two masters in the Qin residence. Song Zhiyao was still young, so he was not in a hurry to let him sleep in the wing room, so he vacated the wing room first. The left ear room of the main room was made into a small study, and the right ear room was used as a study room. warehouse.

Song Zhiyao experienced Qin Yong's arrest last time, and now she is even more afraid to go to bed at home.Mother Sun couldn't persuade him, so she let him go, Song Zhiyao simply practiced calligraphy in the study.

These few days Qin Yong has not had time to teach him new characters, so far he has only learned to write their names.

When he was nine years old, he hadn't been enlightened yet, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't show it for a while, and he didn't feel that he liked reading very much, and he didn't have the ambition to be a literary master, so he could learn whatever Qin Yong asked him to learn.

After waiting for Qin Yong all night, he wrote a lot of big characters eloquently, all of which were written with the word Qin Yong followed by the word Song Zhiyao. The two names were closely next to each other.

As soon as Qin Yong entered the room, what he saw was a child kneeling on his chair, concentrating on practicing calligraphy at his desk. The written papers were all over the small table next to him, and some even fell to the ground.

Picking up a piece of paper at random, there are strokes of block letters on it, Qin Yong, Song Zhiyao, big and small, the ink on the table is not yet dry, and the ink on the floor is already dry, the paper on which the words have been written has become Dry and hard.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Qin Yong picked up all the papers on the ground, folded them neatly, put them on the table and pressed them with a paperweight, "Didn't you just let you go to bed first without waiting?"

"Can't sleep." Seeing Qin Yong's return, Song Zhiyao stopped writing, rubbed her eyes and said, "What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight." Knowing that Song Zhiyao was worried about him, Qin Yong didn't expose him. Seeing that he put the brush in the brush washer and hung it up, he went to pick up the paper on the table and pressed the back of his hand , "Don't mess with it, go to bed first, there are servants on duty at night."

Song Zhiyao shook her head: "Brother, there are so many important things in this study, where can I let the servants clean them up, let me do it."

Qin Yong didn't give him a chance to persuade him, he just picked him up and walked into the bedroom: "Then clean it up tomorrow, how late is it and don't sleep? Do you want to be a dwarf all your life?"

The moment Song Zhiyao saw Qin Yong enter the room, she relaxed. Now that she fell asleep, she couldn't keep her eyes open in a daze. She didn't insist anymore, and followed him back to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Qin Yong still slept with Song Zhiyao as before. Song Zhiyao was so sleepy that she got into the bed and rubbed against Qin Yong's arms before falling asleep.

Qin Yong couldn't fall asleep, looking at Song Zhiyao's delicate sleeping face with mixed emotions.

Taking advantage of the night, he went to Yizhuang with his night clothes and Ying Er. Sure enough, he saw that the scar on Chen's face could be torn off, and found some other clues, so he went to Chen's house with Ying Er.

Ying Er was very proficient in this kind of thing of climbing over the wall to find things, and he actually let them find the book left by Mrs. Chen, and many things made sense at once.

Qin Yong has a heavy heart, and he doesn't like to talk to others about many things.When he was young, he broke through the affair between Master Qin and Qin Xian. Master Qin was afraid that Qin Yong would make it public and almost strangled him. Qin Yong locked himself in his room and digested it silently, even Mrs. Qin didn't tell.

He wasn't afraid that Master Qin would kill him, but he didn't want to embarrass his mother.

Over the years, Qin Yong has grown from a child to a young man. He once felt that this world is really unfair, how could there be so many disgusting people and dirty things around him.

Later, he thought about it, the past is determined by God, but he can fight for the future, even if it is for Mrs. Qin, he shouldn't keep getting tired and let others bully him.

He wanted to trample those who hurt himself and Mrs. Qin face down in the mud, to see who would dare to bully their mother and son in the future.

Qin Yong thought that he was cold and hard enough, as long as the goal was achieved, what did the life and death of others have to do with him?

After meeting Song Zhiyao, at first he thought the kid was funny, in such a situation, he knew how to hold back his edge, and pretended to be obedient to make a living under the master's wife.

Later, I had no clue about the errand in my hand, and I had to be suspicious of any unusual things in Xiapi City. Knowing that his man had hidden even the old mother who watched him grow up, I couldn't help but look into it. Check it out.

And then what?Did he touch his once-in-a-century compassion?Or did he hurt his own kind, and felt that the two of them were both degenerates in the world, and couldn't help but lick each other's wounds together with him?

For such a half-grown child, Qin Yong softened his heart time and time again, until now, both of them have become each other's family members.If Qin Yong were to send Song Zhiyao away now, Qin Yong would never want to part with it.

Thinking that Song Zhiyao might have to leave him in the future, Qin Yong's eyes were full of hostility, and he took Song Zhiyao into his arms.

Song Zhiyao regards herself as the only family member, the only elder brother, and he cannot do without him; and he will not allow this kind of thing to happen, after returning to Beijing to hand in the errand, he will bring Mrs. Qin and Song Zhiyao to separate from Master Qin , Go out and build a mansion by yourself.

In the future, Song Zhiyao will be Qin Yong's younger brother, and I will watch him grow up, get married and start a career. No one can take him away from me, not even his biological parents.

Song Zhiyao was startled awake by his movement, without moving her eyes away, she wrapped her arms around him and stroked his back: "Is brother's leg hurting again?"

"It's okay." Qin Yong tucked Song Zhiyao into the quilt, "I'm a little thirsty, you sleep, I'll go get some water."

Song Zhiyao shook her head, got up in a daze, and went to pour water for Qin Yong.

No matter how much Qin Yong thought about it, he was exhausted. He was ironing posts and worrying. This child really believed everything he said. He had a straight gut. He quickly grabbed him back under the quilt and covered him tightly: "Don't drink anymore. , lie down!"

"It's so uncomfortable not to drink water when I'm thirsty..." Song Zhiyao muttered, "I'm going to have a sore throat tomorrow."

"Ancestor, go to sleep!" Qin Yong lifted a rock and smashed himself in the foot, regretting all the nonsense excuses he made just now. I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep if he can't drink the water tonight. "There is a night watchman outside the screen." Girl, just ask them to bring it in."

"No, no, the girls are not a few years older than me. Let them come in to watch tea, how embarrassing they are." Song Zhiyao was still not happy, and pushed Qin Yong, "Brother, don't press me down, let me get up, I'll go Pour it for you."

Xiao Suanmiao is really good, only when he is bullied will he show his claws to scratch people, and even the servants will be treated kindly by him on weekdays.

Qin Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to coax: "I told them to put the water on the table, put on their clothes and go get it by themselves, shh, shh, be obedient."

Song Zhiyao couldn't hold back against Qin Yong, so she had to reluctantly agree, not forgetting to ask Qin Yong to wear thick clothes, and only when Qin Yong came back to lie down after drinking water did he fall asleep again.

When it was dawn and Qin Yong woke up at night, his movements were as light as a thief, for fear of waking up his ancestors and making troubles again.

Qin Yong wanted to cry without tears. For a while, he felt that all his worries before going to bed had been fed to the dog, and for a while, he felt that his decision was right. This kind of straight-heartedness made him fight for something, and he was afraid that he would be torn to pieces. .

It was already half past the hour of waking up the next day. Looking at the faint blue marks under Qin Yong's eyes, Song Zhiyao was terribly worried. She insisted on asking Qin Yong to lie down for a while before getting up, and asked the kitchen to prepare soothing soup, without realizing it at all. The person who makes people sleep badly at night is himself.

Qin Yong was happy to see Song Zhiyao so nervous about himself, and even had a sense of accomplishment that a son of a bitch didn't raise him for nothing.

So if there are any problems with children, most of them are used by adults, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, alas.

……

Since Qin Yong and Ying Er went out to investigate the clues that night, Qin Yong no longer interfered in this matter, and the old god stayed in the mansion with Song Zhiyao for a few days.

Song Zhiyao was a little anxious at first, but seeing that Qin Yong wasn't worried at all, she let him go.

After another four or five days, the talents from the capital and Qizhou arrived at Xiapi.

The one sent by Beijing was a priest from the Hanlin Academy, whose surname was Feng and whose name was Ji Nian, and his style name was Jingyou.

At the beginning of the year, Feng Ji was not highly valued by the late emperor, but now it seems that the new emperor intends to promote him. If the errand is done well this time, he might be promoted to a bachelor.

The one from Qizhou was Qin Yong's aunt's son and Qin Yong's cousin, whose name was Zhu Chengdong and whose name was Zizhen.

Qin Yong's uncle is the magistrate of Qizhou, and he is a gentleman with a heart for the world, while Qin Yong's aunt, as the eldest daughter of the old general, was known as a powerful character when she was not out of the cabinet, and she cultivated her character after she got married.

Master Zhu originally wanted his son to be an official like himself, but unfortunately Zhu Chengdong was more like his mother. Although he had achieved fame, he had no ambition to be in the officialdom, and wanted to be a general on the battlefield.

Feng Jinian only had a quick meeting with Qin Yong before going to take care of Chen's affairs. Song Zhiyao was completely relieved when she saw that the people from Beijing were helping with all their heart.And Zhu Chengdong, as Qin Yong's cousin, fortunately lived in the Qin residence.

"I don't think it's such a big deal, even that idiot Feng Jinian can handle it by himself, so it's worth your extra [-] miles to rush to Qizhou to deliver the news?" Zhu Chengdong snapped open the folding fan, and after fanning it twice, he felt that it wasn't too hot. , threw the fan on the table and said angrily: "My father insists on making me wear a fan to pretend to be elegant, so that I can't help fanning it twice when I touch it, I'm about to have a headache!"

Qin Yong smiled and said nothing, took a sip of tea.

Zhu Chengdong was depressed for a while, and then smiled maliciously: "I said you are two years younger than me, so you will marry a wife? Hey, little brother and sister, your father-in-law is very fierce, will you be scared?" Have to cry?"

Song Zhiyao looked at Zhu Chengdong in bewilderment and didn't know how to answer the words. Just in case, even the servants in Xiapi didn't know that he was a boy. Everyone only thought that Qin Yong married a child bride .

Song Zhiyao didn't know the relationship between Zhu Chengdong and Qin Yong, but she only remembered that Qin Yong mentioned that the Beijing family was a bad debt.

"Don't tease him," Qin Yong shook his head and ordered everyone to close the door and wait outside before he said again: "Yao'er, this will be your cousin from now on."

Song Zhiyao nodded and called her cousin.

Then Qin Yong told Zhu Chengdong about Song Zhiyao's life experience, and added at the end: "In a few days, I will go to Pi, and I will take Yao'er back to Beijing."

"Tsk, so it's not my sister-in-law, but your cheap brother is looking for you, seeing you in a hurry to send us a message," Zhu Chengdong couldn't help but went to get the fan again, he paused when he touched the fan bone, and retracted his hand He took out two walnuts from his sleeve pocket, rolled them up with his right hand, "My little brother is handsome, you two should be very happy to be aunts and companions."

It was the first time Song Zhiyao saw that young people also had walnuts in a pan, and Zhu Chengdong had panned the two walnuts so that they were covered in pulp, shiny and shiny, and couldn't help staring at his hands.

Seeing that he was interested, Zhu Chengdong smiled: "Want to eat walnuts?" Then he squeezed the two walnuts with a little force in his hand: "Come on, my cousin still has a lot of walnuts in his sleeve."

Song Zhiyao's expression cracked in an instant. Master Song also likes to plate walnuts. He knows that this kind of walnuts wrapped in pulp are very expensive. The walnuts were crushed and eaten, and they were squeezed directly.
