Chapter 173
"Actually, I didn't want to see that lady. I originally wanted to talk to General Mingwei."
"You were looking for General Mingwei, why did you find her wife?" Ling Xueji turned her face.
Qu Quan smiled and shook his head, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone can arrange it. General Mingwei was ordered by the Holy Order to deal with a wave of bandits a few months ago, but he hasn't returned yet."
"Ah?" Ling Xueji never expected this to happen, "That General Mingwei is..."
"No." Qu Quan patiently explained to her that the number of bandits in that wave was very small, and their force was not strong. Although sending General Mingwei there seemed a bit condescending, it was actually a helpless move by the Holy Majesty.In addition, in the peaceful and prosperous times, generals were not as relied on as they were in troubled times. General Mingwei was still a loose official, and most of the fact that he was sent out this time had nothing to do with court disputes.So generally speaking, as long as there is no invisible vortex gushing out suddenly, then General Mingwei will not be in too fatal danger when he goes out to fight the bandits.
Ling Xueji nodded half-understood, "So that's the case, then that madam is a little pitiful, actually staying in the mansion by herself for so long." She seemed to have thought of something, and actually sighed, " I used to feel sad when I was alone at home, and I think this lady is also like this."
"Are you at home alone?" Qu Quan thought he had grasped the point, "Did you often stay at home alone when you were in the prefect's mansion of Wu County?"
Ling Xueji raised his head, and a face that was more heroic due to the darkness of the carriage came straight into his eyes, which made Qu Quan feel shocked for a moment, "I mean in Shangshufu, you can't go out to handle the case time at home."
"Ah?" Wasn't there a collection of thrushes and my grandmother who was so eccentric that I couldn't be more eccentric, had a granddaughter-in-law and didn't want a granddaughter to accompany me!Qu Quan angrily bypassed a series of words in her heart, but she dared not utter a single word of these words.Just when Qu Quan didn't know how to respond, Ling Xueji changed the subject as if bypassing her experience.
"Then what does Mrs. General Mingwei do at home alone?"
As soon as Qu Quan talked about the business, his mind became clear again, "So, this is the key issue."
"What key question?"
"I heard that General Mingwei took in five concubines in five years, concubines from the two courts, but Mrs. Mingwei looks lonely and withered, why is that?" Qu Quan smiled and prepared to test her.
Ling Xueji suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if thinking of a question that shocked her, she opened her cherry-like mouth in surprise, "Why?"
Qu Quan laughed, and raised his hand to hit her on the head. Ling Xueji quickly grabbed that hand, pulled it down, and showed a bright smile, "You mean that General Mingwei's mansion doesn't seem to be as it is in the rumors. Is it lively?"
"That's right. She should be accompanied by a lot of people, but she seems to be alone. Isn't that a problem?" Qu Quanfu asked.
Ling Xueji pursed her lips, disapproving of Qu Quan's opinion, "But women's family members usually live in places that are closer to Xiyuan or Houyuan. We are all outsiders. It's normal to not see them when we go in."
Very good, I will refute it.Qu Quan held her hand back with a smile, and Ling Xueji, who was suddenly grasped, was stiff for a moment, and then he didn't pull out his hand quickly, but looked at Qu Quan as if holding her hand while suppressing his growing heartbeat. The smiling eyes of Qianqing Jiangyue.
"That's right, but how can a housewife who suffers from morning and evening anxiety every day, and a general's wife who is surrounded by a group of concubines surrounded by fat, swallows, and thin concubines all day long, with a plain face, wearing the most low-key jewelry, and wearing the most modest clothes?" What about plain clothes?"
"However, this may be because General Mingwei's wife doesn't like extravagance and waste, and advocates simplicity." Ling Xueji tilted her head, she remembered that her sister also liked to wear plain clothes and plain clothes when she didn't go out with her father. There is no problem.
Qu Quan shook his head, "It's different."
Ling Xueji was puzzled, "Why is it different?"
Qu Quan turned his head to look at the inlaid windows on the carriage. The curtains fluttered gently in the breeze blown by the horses from time to time, letting in a glimmer of light from the sky. The outside is a prosperous spring, and it is about to enter the busiest season before midsummer. .
"Because she was a famous beauty."
People are all the same, stepping through Qiongyu's dangerous building, they no longer want to be caught by others, and can't bear the feeling of being caught and pushed into the dust and have to bow their heads.
Ling Xueji was still a little puzzled, she went to see Qu Quan, but Qu Quan's hand was still holding her, and he seemed to have forgotten to let go.Ling Xueji didn't want to move, so the two of them held each other intentionally and unintentionally.Ling Xueji knew that Qu Quan might not want to talk anymore for the time being. She found that Qu Quan often lost sight of the world while talking. She didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. She said that there are many things that are far away but not impossible, and she is willing to teach her many skills that her father and sister have never taught her, but just like now, she feels that Qu Quan is far away from her, this kind of distance is really far away and.
From time to time, she would still think of the night when Old Madam Qu asked her to consummate the house, but she sat and ate wontons with Qu Quan. What she was thinking at that time was beyond question, but Qu Quan was as calm as ever.
