Chapter 950 Beauty Peony
The resistance of Mr. Qiu Sanye and Mr. Qiu Siye was in vain and they were dragged away.
Mr. Qiu walked out of the hall and looked at the wind and snow outside.
His follower A Kuan came over and asked, "Second Master, do you really want to meet that Miss Hua?"
The woman who had bewitched the Third and Fourth Masters was named Hua, and everyone called her Madam Hua. According to investigation, she once told people that her husband's surname was Zeng, and her original surname was Hua, and her name was Mudan.
Chinese peony.
Master Qiu told the third and fourth brothers that he had not yet checked on that woman. How could that be possible?
He also found out where Hua Mudan lived, Ruyi Garden.
Ruyi Garden had been uninhabited for a long time. As soon as Mrs. Hua came to Subei, she bought Ruyi Garden. She paid a lot of money at that time and hired many people to help with cleaning and tidying up. According to the people who took the money to help, Hua Mudan spent a full five thousand taels in just three days to clean up and decorate Ruyi Garden.
It is also said that charcoal was burned there to heat the house, and many flowers were planted inside. It is estimated that there are only winter plums and chrysanthemums in other places now, but many exotic flowers can be seen in Ruyi Garden.
So, everyone is guessing how rich this Madam Hua is.
Although Mr. Qiu had already found out all this, he was not in a hurry to meet Madam Hua.
He just said that in front of the Third and Fourth Masters, but after leaving the door, his anger was suppressed again.
He shook his head.
"What do you think the Third and Fourth Masters were like in the past?"
Ah Kuan thought without hesitation, "Third Master is quite smart and good at calculating. Fourth Master is more tolerant and a little cautious, but still rational."
"Third Master is somewhat fond of beautiful women, but he knows his limits and would never compete with his brothers for a woman. Fourth Master used to have a good relationship with Fourth Madam, but to be frank, he is actually a little henpecked."
Hearing what A Kuan said, Mr. Qiu nodded.
"So, based on the temperaments of the third and fourth brothers, they would never do something like this."
A Kuan was silent. This was true.
So, the Third Master and the Fourth Master have been making such a fuss these days that both wives have become sick with anger.
The lady probably didn't expect that they would become like this.
"This can only mean that there is something strange about that Madam Hua."
Mr. Qiu sighed, "Since there is something strange, I can't be too careless and think that I will be safe if I go there."
He had to be more cautious, even more cautious.
"I had a dream two nights ago."
Master Qiu started talking again. He hadn't said anything in the past two days, but he took people to check the places that the emperor mentioned in his dream.
First of all, the lake was left alone and allowed to freeze.
He ordered people to bring ladders and check the four corners of the pavilion, but found nothing.
After the lake was covered with thick ice, his uncomfortable feeling was somewhat relieved.
But he was still worried because nothing was found in the pavilion, so he had the bridge leading to the pavilion sealed and warned no one in the family to go there to play.
Maybe it was because the Sixth Young Master had just fallen down, so his family members didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Mr. Qiu also sent someone to the military camp to deliver a letter to General Qiu, but the letter has not been replied yet.
"What did Second Master dream about?" A Kuan asked.
"If I said I dreamed of chatting with the emperor all night, would you believe me?"
Ah Kuan was stunned for a moment. "The Emperor?"
This is indeed a bit hard to believe.
"Pass the order on to them to stay indoors for the next few days, except for necessary shopping or delivering mail."
He wanted to wait for Prince Jin and Miss Lu to arrive.
He should be careful at times like this.
"Yes."
Just as Mr. Qiu finished giving his orders, the butler came running over. He ran so fast that when he was almost in front of him, he slipped and fell.
"No hurries?"
When Mr. Qiu saw him like this, he felt a little depressed.
At the same time, he also noticed that the butler was holding a letter in his hand.
A Kuan went to help the housekeeper up.
The butler limped over to Mr. Qiu, handed him the letter with both hands, his voice trembling a little.
"Second Master, Madam Hua sent a letter to you!"
Mr. Qiu and A Kuan were shocked at the same time, and their eyes fell on the letter.
It was a piece of letter paper with a peony painted on it.
The peony is painted so elegantly and vividly that you can almost smell the fragrance of the flower while looking at it.
Just this one peony is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this Miss Hua.
"Second Master?"
The housekeeper's hands became sore from holding the letter when he saw that the second master was taking a long time to answer it.
A Kuan reached out and took the letter.
"Second Master, let me read it to you."
If there is something wrong with the letter, it's okay for him to be fooled.
If the Second Master were to be like the Third and Fourth Masters, the Qiu Family would be in real chaos.
Mr. Qiu did not refuse.
A Kuan unfolded the letter, which had only one line of words on it.
"Tomorrow afternoon, when the wind stops and the snow stops, I will invite you to Ruyi Garden to enjoy the flowers and drink wine. Do you dare to do me the honor?"
The handwriting is not as delicate and beautiful as that of an ordinary girl, but has some character and strong strokes.
If he hadn't been on guard against Madam Hua, Mr. Qiu would have praised her.
"Second Master?" A Kuan looked at Second Master Qiu.
Mr. Qiu frowned as he looked at the snowy sky. "We all think that the snow will not stop in the next three days. How can she be sure that the wind will calm down and the snow will stop tomorrow?"
He paused and said, "Let's see tomorrow if the snow will really stop."
After three or four days of travel, Lu Zhaoling, Zhou Shiyue and their companions were finally approaching Subei.
"Big sister, it should take less than an hour to reach Subei City."
Yin Yunting rode his horse to Lu Zhaoling and his companions' carriage.
"Shall I go into the city first?"
Madam Sheng San floated out.
"I'll go, I'll go explore the way first."
She also wanted to go and see Subei City first, and if possible, she would choose the inn and live in one by herself!
"Go back and pick up Brother Frog."
Lu Zhaoling replied to her.
Brother Frog had gone to visit his companion's family and had not returned yet. He estimated that he could only travel at night, but if Lady Sheng San came to pick him up, he could arrive tonight.
"what?"
Madam Sheng San felt that there was no point in doing such a thing.
"Really? Young man, you don't practice well. Look, now you have to let me take over."
She mumbled something and floated away.
For the sake of being ghosts.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at the sky and said, "The snow will stop tomorrow."
She exhaled, "If you don't stop for a while and let people breathe, I'm going to go crazy."
It’s so cold here in Subei.
"I'm afraid that once the snow stops, the victims will come out to find a way out," said Zhou Shiyue.
He said to Yin Yunting, "Junior Brother Yin, don't go. Let Qingfeng go and explore first."
Qing Feng stepped forward quickly, "Master Yin, I will leave. Please get on the carriage and take a rest."
Ever since the "heart" gesture came out, the prince has been displeased with him.
He's still smarter.
"Then I'll go with Qingfeng." Lu Song also came forward.
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "Okay, Junior Brother Lu, take a look after you go in, and don't take out the talisman while you're there."
