You fell off the horse just now

Besides Qin Minghui, Qin Mingzhu and Jin Fangfei left the old lady's courtyard. Qin Minghui wanted to make friends with Jin Fangfei, so he deliberately picked a topic that Fangfei might like on the way - Mangzhou.Sure enough, when Mangzhou was mentioned, Fang Fei suddenly became more talkative, and enthusiastically introduced the customs of Mangzhou.

"Cousin Minghui, if I have time in the future, I invite my cousin to play in Mangzhou for a while, you will definitely like it there."

Qin Minghui was startled, and said with a smile: "That's a deal, if I go to Mangzhou in the future, you can't play tricks."

Fangfei was grateful to Minghui for speaking for her earlier, and replied sincerely: "A word is a deal, and I, Jin Fangfei, keep my word and it's hard to follow."

In contrast, Qin Mingzhu walked in front alone with her maid, with the appearance of not getting close to strangers.

The yards of the three of them were in different directions, and when they reached a fork in the road, Qin Minghui called Qin Mingzhu and said, "Third sister, I'm going to sit in Fangfei's yard, do you want to come with me?"

After a while, Fang Fei became Fang Fei directly from his cousin. Qin Mingzhu was dissatisfied with Qin Minghui's intimacy with Jin Fangfei, and said coldly: "If the second sister is going, go alone. I haven't finished my homework today, so I will go first." gone back."

After the words fell, he ignored the two people behind him and led them away quickly.

Jin Fangfei looked at Qin Mingzhu's back thoughtfully, Qin Minghui thought she was sad when he saw her, and comforted her and said: "Mingzhu has been spoiled since she was a child, but she has no bad intentions, and it will get better after a long time."

Jin Fangfei looked away, smiled and said: "What my cousin said is true, Fei'er understands."

She has only been in the Qin Mansion for three days, and she already knows the nature of the people in the Qin Mansion.And Qin Mingzhu is indeed as her mother said, pampered and rude, but the purpose of her return to Beijing is not to see Qin Mingzhu, the worst is to keep as little contact as possible in the future.

In order to take care of Jin Fangfei, Mrs. Qin deliberately chose Lanfangju, which is the closest to Mrs. Qin's courtyard, for Jin Fangfei to live in. This Lanfangju used to belong to Jin Fangfei's mother Qin Xin, and Qin Xin has been vacant since she got married.

When she was young, Jin Fangfei lived with Qin Xin back to the Qin Mansion several times, so she was very happy with Mrs. Qin's decision.

Qin Minghui came to Lanfangju with Jin Fangfei, and as soon as he entered the door and saw the things used in the room, he knew why Qin Mingzhu ran into her room this morning and babbled for a long time.

It turned out to be jealousy.

Qin Minghui is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, and her elder brother is the eldest son of the Qin family. Naturally, the things she uses will not be worse than this.

But Qin Mingzhu was different.

The second house was originally a concubine, and the general affairs of the mansion were in charge of the big house.The monthly silver of each room in the mansion is a fixed share, and the second uncle spends a lot of money on weekdays. The private house of the second aunt almost subsidizes the second uncle. Apart from the second uncle and the fourth brother, it is Qin Mingzhu's turn to be less, no wonder Qin Mingzhu Will be jealous of Jin Fangfei.

The two cousins ​​sat down on the soft couch, and Qin Minghui asked considerately, "Is Fangfei still used to living in these few days?"

Jin Fangfei thought for a while, and answered honestly: "Everything is fine in the Qin family, but I'm not used to being away from my parents all of a sudden."

Qin Minghui is eighteen this year, and Jin Fangfei is a year younger than her. She returned to Beijing alone, and she still has no idea. The sense of mission as the eldest sister made Minghui involuntarily reach out and take Fangfei's hand, with a kind of caring Looking at her eyes, she said with a loving tone, "Fang Fei, there will be a cousin in the future, so don't be afraid of anything."

Jin Fangfei was stunned. She always felt that her cousin looked at her in the same way as the hen looked at the chick. She was afraid that her cousin would say something like a mother, so Fangfei held her hand and said, "Thank you, cousin!" , Mayfair will never forget what I said today!"

Originally, Qin Minghui just started a conversation, and she was going to give some other instructions, but Fang Fei interrupted her like this, and she couldn't continue, but she always felt a little regretful after stopping the conversation, and this regret lasted halfway through. After hours of incense sticks.

The only sibling in the Qin family with her mother is her elder brother Qin Mingzheng, but his elder brother has great ambitions as a man, and he doesn't get in touch with him often when he is old.Although there is Qin Mingzhu in the second room, due to various reasons, there is always an invisible barrier between their cousins, neither close nor far.

The arrival of Jin Fangfei made Qin Minghui experience a feeling that she didn't have since she was a child, having a younger sister by blood.Moreover, Jin Fangfei was exquisite and cute, with a free and easy temperament, which was especially in line with Minghui's wishes. Therefore, Minghui has been paying attention to Jin Fangfei for the past two days, waiting for an opportunity to approach her, and today she finally found an opportunity.

Qin Mingzhu actually embarrassed Jin Fangfei back then, so at that time Minghui came out to rescue Fangfei in order to leave a good impression in Fangfei's heart.

Fortunately, God pays off.

The two were drinking tea, Jin Fangfei was talking about the interesting things about the trip to Beijing, and Qin Minghui was telling Fangfei about the interesting things about the various families and ethnic groups in Beijing, and they had a very happy chat.

Jin Fangfei found that although her cousin usually looks rigid and polite, her conversation and views are not conservative. On the contrary, sometimes she will come up with ideas that surprise even her.She thought that she had lived in a multi-elemental city like Mangzhou since she was a child, and had absorbed multi-ethnic cultures, so her thinking was relatively advanced.

I never thought that my cousin is a real person who doesn't show her face.

But it suits her!

Jin Fangfei had no blood relatives since she was a child, and she was alone after arriving in Mangzhou. It is undoubtedly a great thing for Jin Fangfei to meet Qin Minghui when she returns to Beijing this time.

The two met each other very late, and after finishing pots of tea and plates of snacks, at sunset, they even ate their dinner together.

Mrs. Qin was naturally happy to hear the news after her lunch break. She was afraid that Fang Fei would feel lonely. Now that Ming Hui was sincerely willing to associate with Fang Fei, it relieved her of a knot in her heart.I was overjoyed, so I specially ordered the kitchen to add a few delicious dishes to the two cousins.

When Qin Mingzhu learned about it, she looked at the same meal as usual and didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Because there were only two of them eating together, the two cousins ​​also ignored the rule of not talking when eating, and there was constant laughter at the dinner table.

Suddenly, Qin Minghui asked the question that had been in his heart all along, "Fang Fei, my cousin has always had a question. As a daughter, even though you have practiced martial arts since childhood, the world is dangerous. How could your uncle and aunt allow you to go to Beijing alone? If there is no one to protect, what should we do if there is an accident?"

It is said that Jin Fangfei asked people all the way to find the door of the Qin Mansion, and when she arrived, she reported to the concierge that she was Jin Fangfei, the daughter of Qin Xin. Unreasonable.

Everyone knew that my aunt went to Mangzhou with my uncle 12 years ago, and never returned to Beijing, and even they never saw Jin Fangfei again.

But the name Jin Fangfei has been heard before.Therefore, Uncle Qin brought him to grandmother, but grandmother recognized Fang Fei at a glance. In addition, she had a token from her aunt, so Fang Fei's identity was confirmed.

Hearing this, Jin Fangfei put down the chicken legs, sighed, and said rather distressedly: "I also hope that I really return to the capital alone!"

When Qin Minghui heard that there was a story in it, he looked forward to his cousin and gave him a new chicken leg.

Jin Fangfei sighed again, refusing to tell the whole story, Qin Minghui saw this, and offered chicken legs again.

Helpless, Jin Fangfei had no choice but to take a bite of the chicken leg, and sighed, "I actually ran away from home."

"what?!"

Qin Minghui didn't expect that Jin Fangfei would actually run away from home, and quickly ordered A Luo, the personal servant girl, to drive out the servants in the room.

This matter must not be spread.

Taking advantage of the effort of chasing people away, Qin Minghui immediately calmed down, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "No, I remember that yesterday my aunt's letter reached my grandmother's hands. If I ran away from home, how could it be so fast? And the letter can be in the It will be delivered on the second day after you enter Beijing, aunt can definitely bring you back to Mangzhou."

Jin Fangfei frowned, Qin Minghui was not someone who could be dismissed with a few words, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Mother, she sent people to follow me after she left Mangzhou. I was able to return to the capital safely thanks to them. At first I thought I was relying on my own ability, but when I saw my mother's letter, I suddenly realized that everything was under her control. middle!"

Mother Jin, who was far away in Mangzhou, smiled slightly.

Qin Minghui nodded in a serious manner. The parents of the world love her. The aunt did this out of safety considerations, and she can fully understand it.Mangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, even though Fangfei is excellent in martial arts, but she is not deeply involved in the world, so it is inevitable that she will be used by those who want to.

She thought to herself, Fang Fei was too courageous to run away from home, fortunately, her aunt was prepared.But... I always feel that there is something wrong with the problem.

It has to be said that Qin Minghui grasped the crux of the problem, with piercing eyes, she looked at her cousin, and said quietly: "Fang Fei... why did you run away from home? You chose to go to Beijing, I remember that in another year, my uncle will report It's not impossible to stay in the capital when we return to Beijing, is there something hidden that my cousin doesn't know?"

Jin Fangfei was gnawing on a chicken leg, and choked when she heard this.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qin Minghui's eyes shone with a gleam of light. Sure enough, today's harvest is very rich, but there is still a story to tell.

"Come on, drink some tea and talk slowly, cousin is not in a hurry."

Qin Minghui handed over a cup of tea, Fang Fei quickly threw the chicken leg and took it and drank a couple of sips. After finally recovering, she said, "Where is it, cousin, you are overthinking. I just quarreled with my mother and left home, thinking too much I haven’t been back to Beijing for a long time, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity.”

"Curious for a while?" Qin Minghui didn't believe this, and stretched out his hand to pull Jin Fangfei, never wanting to forget that she knew martial arts, but she nimbly broke away, feeling annoyed for a moment.

Jin Fangfei turned around and stood still, and said with a wry smile: "Cousin, I'm really just curious, and you also know that Mangzhou is not as bustling and prosperous as the capital, and it gets boring after staying for a long time."

But the more Fangfei explained, the more Qin Minghui didn't believe it. If it was really just a temporary idea, why would she deliberately bring her aunt's token, isn't it just to go to the Qin family to recognize relatives?I always felt that this little girl didn't come back to Beijing out of curiosity, but Fang Fei couldn't pry her mouth open if she didn't mention it.

Seeing that Qin Minghui didn't ask any more questions, Jin Fangfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently gnawed on the chicken leg, looking guilty.

Qin Minghui saw her reaction in his eyes, pressed the button, and started another topic, "Grandmother is worried that you left the house privately today, so my cousin is here to tell you that you must never leave the house privately again in the future." Yes. I know you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and accidents are inevitable. You should pay more attention to it on weekdays. If you want to go shopping, remember to call me next time, and I will take you there. As for the capital, I must be more familiar than you. "

Jin Fangfei regained her senses and nodded. She was indeed a little reckless today, "Cousin, I made a note, and I will definitely not do it next time."

Fang Fei was easy-going and simple, Qin Minghui nodded in satisfaction.

After eating, the two drank Xiaoshi tea again. Qin Minghui took the opportunity to say goodbye when it was getting late, and Fang Fei personally escorted her out of the courtyard.

When Qin Minghui returned to her yard, her mother, Mrs. Li Shi of the Qin Mansion, was waiting for her. When she saw her coming back, she smiled lovingly.Although in Qin Minghui's view, this smile is hard to make her feel friendly.

Qin Minghui put away the relaxed smile in front of Jin Fangfei, walked up to her mother with lotus steps, and called softly, "Mother, if there is something to find a baby, let me know, why did you come in person? But wait long time?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "I've just arrived, so check your homework to see if you're slack. Dinner in Fangfei's yard?"

The Li family is in charge of the general affairs of the Qin family, so it is impossible for her not to know that she is having meals in Fang Fei's yard, she replied: "Yes, grandma knew and specially added some dishes for us."

Mrs. Li noticed the hairpin on her head, and said with a smile: "The hairpin Fang Fei gave you is unique, and it is a gift. Tomorrow, you will personally pick a new piece of fabric and send it to Fang Fei. She has not returned to Beijing for many years. As a cousin , need to take care of her more, you know?"

Qin Minghui liked Fangfei's temperament, so she agreed immediately.

After a few more instructions, Mrs. Li planned to leave, "There are still things to deal with in the mother's courtyard, so I'll go back first."

Li Shi got up, Qin Minghui immediately turned sideways, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mother, go slowly."

Walking to the door, Mrs. Li suddenly turned her head, and said calmly: "Looking at the calligraphy in your study today, the brush strokes are superficial. Practicing calligraphy is not a day's work. You must not neglect to practice on weekdays."

Qin Minghui lowered his head, and responded respectfully: "Kid, remember."

In the wind was the sound of the sleeves sliding, and as they drifted away, Qin Minghui slowly raised his head, letting out a shallow sigh.
