Son

The two went to school together.

Shen Xu was teaching a class, and she looked at the two from the corner of her eye, slightly surprised, and asked the students to read by themselves, put down the book and walked out of the room, asking the two, "Why are you here now?"

Qin Wan looked into the room curiously, and said, "Brother Shen, what are you teaching?"

"I'm teaching "University", why did you come here suddenly?"

"Let's see if you are a good teacher," Qin Wan said, "By the way, I will take your home in Linqing and come to town with me."

Linqing handed the food basket to Shen Xu and said, "You go back to teach. I'm going to town with Linqing and come back in the afternoon."

Shen Xu looked at the two of them, said with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

The two went to the town side by side, chatting all the way, but it didn't feel like the road was far away.

When they arrived in the town, the two planned to go to the yamen to find Zhou Mian first, but after walking a few steps, they met Zhou Mian who was patrolling the street.

"Brother Zhou." Lin Qing called out.

Zhou Mian turned to see him and said happily, "Here we are in town again."

Lin Qing nodded, and introduced to him: "This is my friend, named Qin Wan, and I will come to town with him to play."

Zhou Mian greeted Qin Wan, then asked Lin Qing, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"I just came here to have dinner with Big Brother Zhou." Lin Qing said with a smile.

"That's right, let's go, I invite you to the restaurant."

The three of them went to the restaurant and asked for a table by the window on the second floor. Zhou Mian ordered a few dishes and asked Linqing what he liked to eat from time to time.

Qin Wan pulled Lin Qing over and bit his ear, "Brother Zhou is so attentive to you, doesn't it mean he likes you?"

Lin Qing immediately blushed, and whispered: "What nonsense, do you think everyone dislikes women as much as we do?"

Qin Wan laughed and said, "I think he's much more interesting than that idiot."

Lin Qing said anxiously: "If you say it again, I will ignore you."

Zhou Mian saw that the two were arguing, and asked with a smile, "Please ask me to listen to what you whispered."

Qin Wan opened her mouth to say something, but Lin Qing covered it immediately, and said falteringly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Brother Zhou, do you want to drink?"

"Don't drink anymore, there will be patrols in the afternoon, tea is fine."

Linqing called Xiao Er over to serve tea.

Qin Wan came here to thank Zhou Mian, so she took the initiative to pour tea for him, but Zhou Mian said he didn't dare to do it.

Qin Wan smiled and said: "To be honest, Qin Wan wants to be the host of this meal. One is to thank Brother Zhou for my cousin, and the other is to ask Brother Zhou for help."

Zhou Mian wondered, "Who is your cousin? Why do you ask me for help?"

Qin Wan glanced at Linqing, and said what the two of them had discussed before, "My cousin is Liu Yulang who is now the teacher of the county government. My two brothers and I have been in trouble since then. Thanks to Brother Zhou for introducing him to be the teacher. , otherwise it would be useless.”

Zhou Mian suddenly realized, and said: "It's just a handy task, you don't need to be so polite, Brother Liu has invited me to drink, so you don't need to thank me anymore, I'm even embarrassed."

"Cousin belongs to cousin, Qin Wan returns to Qin Wan, thank you twice is not too much." Qin Wan filled his cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: "Besides, Qin Wan's meal is more than just a thank you It's simple, and I want a merciless request."

Zhou Mian inevitably said nervously, "What kind of merciless request."

Qin Wan smiled and joked: "Brother Zhou regrets going to this Hongmen banquet?" Seeing Zhou Mian's stiff expression, she said with a smile: "It's just a joke, Brother Zhou don't need to be nervous, I just want Brother Zhou to take me into the mansion to have a look Just my cousin."

Zhou Mianqi said: "You live with him, why do you go to the government office to see him?"

Qin Wan said: "Cousin comes back every day, and hides a handkerchief in his clothes every now and then. I guess he must have attracted the favor of a woman outside. He is very curious, so he wants to secretly see which woman it is. If it is a good one, it's good. rest assured."

Zhou Mian laughed and said, "I know this. The person who gave him the handkerchief was the county lord's daughter, my cousin Liu Wanwan. This year is fifteen, gentle and filial. How about it, your cousin is interested in her?"

Qin Wan sneered in her heart, okay you Liu Yulang, and you said you have nothing to do with that lady, even other people know about it!

He suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know my cousin's intentions, so I want to secretly see how the two get along. If there is mutual intention, Qin Wan hopes to make a good thing come true."

Hearing what he said, Linqing couldn't help looking at him in surprise, and gently squeezed Qin Wan's hand under the table, only to find that Qin Wan's hand was shaking with anger.

Zhou Mian didn't know the reason, so he was willing to help, saying: "No problem, I will take the two of you to the county government office after dinner."

Lin Qing worried: "Will it be against the rules, what should the county master do if he is angry?"

Zhou Mian said: "I'll take you in through the back door. Besides, my uncle has to take a nap for an hour after lunch every day, so he won't be discovered."

What Linqing is more worried about is that Qin Wanhui and Liu Yulang will get into trouble, and the relationship will be broken, and it will be embarrassing for both of them.

He tugged at Qin Wan's sleeve, signaling him to forget it, but Qin Wan made up his mind to catch the traitor, and said firmly, "Then I'll trouble Brother Zhou."

After a meal, Lin Qing was so dizzy that she couldn't find a chance to talk to Qin Wan alone, so she could only follow Zhou Mian to the yamen.On the way there, he would tug at Qin Wan from time to time, hoping that he would change his mind, but Qin Wan was unmoved at all and didn't even look at him.

The two of them followed Zhou Mian into the yard from the back door of the government office. The bedroom Liu Yulang used for his lunch break was in the back room.Linqing kept praying in his heart that Liu Yulang would be better, not to mention that Qinwan saw him with Liu Wanwan, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he regretted agreeing to come with Qinwan.

When he was about to pass through the arch, Zhou Mian stopped suddenly, turned around and made a silence gesture at them, and then beckoned them to come forward.

An ominous premonition welled up in Linqing's heart, just as she was about to stop Qin Wan, Qin Wan had already walked towards Zhou Mian.

Behind the arch is a courtyard. There are two women and one man standing in the courtyard. One woman is beautiful, with a shy face, talking to the man, and the other is plainly dressed, like the previous maid.

And that man, whom all three present couldn't be more familiar with, was Liu Yulang.

Liu Wanwan handed over the handkerchief and whispered, "Do you still like the handkerchief I gave you last time? You can keep the flowers and plants embroidered this time."

Liu Yulang's face was full of helplessness, the handkerchief was embroidered with two double lotuses, it was clear at a glance what it meant.

"Miss Liu, you're being polite. Yulang is a man who really doesn't need so many handkerchiefs. I'm afraid it's a waste of Miss Liu's painstaking efforts."

Liu Wanwan blushed, "It's not hard, it's not hard, I have nothing to do all day long, and I don't know who to give to the embroidered handkerchief, so you just take it."

Liu Yulang didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up, and said with a bitter face: "Miss Liu has nothing to do all day long. Why don't you learn to write and read poetry and books? Isn't it more interesting than embroidering handkerchiefs?"

Liu Wanwan obviously misunderstood, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Yulang with bright eyes, "You want to teach me how to write?"

Liu Yulang: "..."

The daughters in this small town are very different from the rich daughters he met in Suzhou City before. In the countryside, women who have no talent are virtues. Even the daughters of the county magistrates only know a few more than ordinary village girls. Words.The women here are not as knowledgeable as the women in Suzhou city. They are simple-minded and cannot understand the hints behind the words.

Liu Yulang couldn't express his suffering, he was full of talent, but he didn't know how to deal with a weak woman.

"Miss Liu misunderstood—"

Before Liu Yulang could finish his words, there was a sudden sound from the arch on one side. Liu Yulang looked warmly and saw a familiar figure walking away in anger.

Liu Yulang yelled in his heart that it was not good. He never thought that the Qin Gala would come at this time. He must have seen him talking with Liu Wanwan in the courtyard, so he misunderstood and left angrily.

Before he had time to think about it, he chased in the direction of Qin Wan, ignoring Liu Wanwan calling him from behind: "Hey, where are you going?"

Linqing chased after a few steps, and suddenly heard Liu Yulang calling him, so he turned around and said, "Brother Liu, Qin Wan—"

Liu Yulang whispered in his ear: "I know, hold Zhou Mian for me, and I'll go chase Qinwan."

Lin Qing only thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay."

Liu Yulang chased after Qin Wan, and Zhou Mian, who was on the side, was puzzled and asked Lin Qing, "What's going on? Is your friend angry? Didn't he hope that Brother Liu has an interest in my cousin?"

Lin Qing racked his brains and said: "Qin Wan, he, he, he hoped so, but when he saw it, he felt sad again, so he left angrily."

Zhou Mian wondered, "Why?"

"He has lived with his cousin for a long time. Seeing that his cousin has a home, he will inevitably feel sad. If Brother Liu wants to marry a wife, Qin Wan will be left alone?" Lin Qing stammered and finished, somewhat Looking at the ground with a guilty conscience, I feel very sorry for cheating Zhou Mian like this.

Zhou Mian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's true. Parents are more sad than happy when they marry their daughters."

Seeing that he believed him, Linqing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and instead worried about Qin Wan and Liu Yulang.

There was still Liu Wanwan standing in the courtyard, who yelled aggrievedly: "Cousin."

Zhou Mian turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Liu Wanwan wanted to complain to him, but remembered that her cousin was peeping at her talking with Liu Yulang, so she couldn't help being annoyed, she gave him a glare, and left with her maid angrily.

Zhou Mian shrugged and said innocently: "My cousin is very spoiled by my uncle, this time I'm afraid she will ignore me for a few days."

Lin Qing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Zhou, it's all our fault for making you embarrassed."

Zhou Mian smiled and said: "It's okay, even if she has nothing to do, she still wants to fight with me, I'm used to it."

Lin Qing was worried about Qin Wan's situation, and said to Zhou Mian: "Brother Zhou, I'd better go back. Qin Wan is so sad, I am very worried about him."

Zhou Mian said: "Then I'll take you out. I just happen to be going on patrol too."

The two left the Yamen and parted ways.

Looking for Qin Wan all over the streets in Linqing, I was extremely anxious, I wondered if Liu Yulang had caught up with anyone, what if Qin Wan got lost?He was terribly regretful in his heart, if he had known this, he wouldn't have messed around with Qin Wan.

After searching the streets of Linqing, her voice was hoarse, but she still couldn't find Qin Wan.

Although Zhou Mian wanted to patrol, but remembering Linqing's anxious appearance, he decided to look for him too, so he patrolled and secretly looked for Qin Wan and Liu Yulang.

Linqing and Zhou Mian were across the street, and they were both looking for the lost Qin Wan, but when they reached the dark alley at the end of the street, the two met face to face, and before they had time to say hello, their eyes fixed on one spot.

On the wall at the end of the dark alley, Liu Yulang held Qin Wan in his arms, with his back to them, kissing the person in his arms affectionately.

Lin Qing's head exploded in an instant.

Ruined.
