  Chapter 149

  The banquet is over.

   One after another, the carriages left one after another from the small square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

  Qin Wenzheng led his family down the doorstep when Luo Yannian's voice from Cheng Guofu suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Wenzheng, stay a while."

  Qin Wenzheng stopped, turned around and looked at him.

  Song Ruyue next to her, her face darkened suddenly, she helped her daughter beside her and continued to walk forward, and said, "Weimo, Chuan'er, let's go, let's get in the carriage first."

  Qin Chuan followed behind.

  After the three of them left, Luo Yannian came closer and said, "Brother Wenzheng, tonight's daughter is really impressive. Even the eldest princess has been moved to cherish talents."

  Qin Wenzheng said with a cold face: "Brother Luo, if you have something to say, just say it. I will accompany my wife and daughter to the night market later."

Luo Yannian cupped his hands, and said seriously: "I hope Brother Wenzheng will not take what Mrs. Song said tonight. Luo can swear to the sky, those poems were definitely not given by me in the Chengguo Mansion. Tonight, the city lord sent If people go to search my house, my wife will be interrogated tomorrow, and the truth will naturally come to light."

  Qin Wenzheng squinted and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

  Luo Yannian sighed: "You and I, Qin and Luo, are originally married, and our ancestors are family friends. Both are prosperous and both are prosperous. How could our Chengguo government do such a thing?"

Qin Wenzheng sneered all over his face: "Some people, on the surface, look like a gentleman, but they may have done so many dirty things behind their backs. When you became a country and regretted your marriage, you pushed a concubine out to block the marriage. Since then, There is no relationship between our two mansions. Luo Yannian, we have endured regretting the marriage, and I have never argued about many business matters. Your concubine is doing very well in my Qin mansion now, and you didn't care about it in the first place. He is regarded as a member of your Chengguo Mansion, so I hope that from now on, you'd better forget about him. If there are some dirty villains in your mansion who want to play tricks, then don't blame Qin for being ruthless!"

   After speaking, he walked away.

  Luo Yannian stood at the same spot, watching his retreating back, fell silent for a moment, turned around, and looked at the city lord's mansion, which was still brightly lit.

   "Master, that dog... what did that man talk to you about?"

   On the carriage.

  Song Ruyue asked with a sullen face, almost saying the word "dog thing" in front of her children.

  In fact, when the husband and wife chatted privately, they both called Luo Yannian that way.

  Qin Wenzheng's face was calm, and he said: "Just chatted a few words, nothing."

  Song Ruyue's lips moved, as if she wanted to ask again, but she glanced at the children beside her again, she had to hold back, and decided to go back to ask again at night.

  The carriage carried a family of four, driving slowly on the street.

   At this time, the streets are still hung with colored lights.

   Hawkers yelling, pedestrians flocking, it is very lively.

  Qin Wenzheng was silent for a while, looked at the weak girl opposite and said, "Weimo, what's going on with those poems tonight...?"

  Song Ruyue also quickly asked: "By the way, Weimo, how could the Song family have those poems, and those poems of the Song family seem to be Luo Qing..."

   "What nonsense!"

   Before she could finish speaking, Qin Wenzheng on the side suddenly stopped.

  Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately, and whispered in a low voice: "There is no one else here..."

After finishing speaking, he touched his daughter's shoulder again, feeling unbearably itchy, and said in a low voice: "Weimo, tell mother quickly, what's going on? How could the Song family have those poems? Also, I saw it with my own eyes last night. I read your picture scroll, and the poems on it are the same as what you read today..."

  Qin Weimo looked at her and said, "Mother, I have replaced that volume of your poems. Otherwise, our Qin family will be unlucky today."

  Seeing the three of them looking at her in bewilderment, she hesitated for a while before slowly telling the whole story about tonight.

"Brother-in-law has known for a long time that there are spies hidden in our mansion, and he also knows that the poems he wrote for the eldest princess will be stolen by spies. So brother-in-law used his plan to write those... questionable poems and let spies steal them. Then, brother-in-law He also told me the correct poems, and asked me to write them down secretly and keep them safe, and when I came today, I exchanged the poems with my mother."

   Paused, then said:

   "Only three of the poems have problems, and none of the other poems have any problems. In fact, my brother-in-law deliberately paralyzed those people. If every poem has problems, those people may see the clue."

"My brother-in-law wrote so many good poems, and told my mother that he wanted to show off in person, just to make the spy feel that there are absolutely no traps or problems in those poems. In fact, even if there are problems, those people may not necessarily be able to see them. "

"My mother also read those poems. Today, the eldest princess and the others all read them. They are all good poems. My brother-in-law's talent is unmatched in Mocheng. You can see from those poems. No one will doubt it." There are problems with the poems he wrote. If someone thinks that a certain word is wrong, they will only have doubts in their hearts a few times, and they will never dare to change it at will."

"It's like a street vendor who sees the royal chef in the palace cooking for the Holy Lord. Even if the royal chef makes mistakes occasionally, the street vendor will never dare to intervene. He just I would feel in my heart that my knowledge is shallow, and I may not understand the techniques of the Great Royal Chef..."

   "Mother, father, second brother, this is what happened this time."

  In the carriage, there was a long silence.

   After a while.

Qin Chuanfang had an expression of disbelief on his face: "Weimo, what you said was really designed by Qingzhou? Why does the second brother think that the brother-in-law you mentioned is not the same person as I think of? "

  Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Second brother, I told you before that brother-in-law is actually very powerful, you just haven't seen it."

  Qin Chuan was stunned, and asked again: "Then how did he know who the spy in our mansion is, and how did he know that someone is going to kill us tonight?"

  Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Secret. Second brother, Weimo wants to keep it a secret for brother-in-law, so I can't tell you."

  Qin Chuan suddenly looked depressed: "Wei Mo, I am your second brother. You tell the second brother secretly, but the second brother doesn't tell him."

  Qin Weimo still shook his head.

  Qin Wenzheng looked at her suddenly and said, "Wei Mo, those two poems you wrote later, didn't Qingzhou prepare them for you in advance?"

  Qin Weimo nodded and said: "Daddy, you guessed right, it was prepared by brother-in-law for Weimo in advance."

   There was another silence in the carriage.

  Qin Chuan suddenly said again: "Could it be that he can predict? How does he know what poem that maid wants you to write?"

Qin Weimo sighed slightly, looked at him and said, "Second brother, I'm afraid you will never imagine the talent of my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law guessed that someone might test me on the spot tonight. Prepared... a hundred poems for me."

  As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the carriage were all dumbfounded.

   "One...hundred..."

  The corners of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched a few times, and said, "Weimo, can he compose so many poems at once? Also, you can actually recite them all?"

There was tenderness and admiration in Qin Weimo's eyes, and he said softly: "Second brother, as I said just now, brother-in-law is very powerful. He wrote me a hundred poems, the content and style of which covered various aspects, and many poems , Actually, I wrote it down after reading it once. My brother-in-law's... poems are actually very easy to remember..."

  Qin Chuan scratched his head and couldn't help sighing: "Weimo, you are a genius. To be honest, even if you recited the few poems you read today to my ear ten times, I might not be able to remember even one of them."

  Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Second brother, if someone performs a set of punches in front of you, I believe that second brother can memorize it without having to do it three times, right?"

  When Qin Chuan heard the boxing, his eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his confidence: "Of course! You don't need to repeat it three times, and the second brother can remember many boxing techniques once."

  Qin Weimo smiled and said: "That's the truth. My brother-in-law said that there is a specialization in art. The second brother can't memorize poems, it's just because the second brother's talent and learning direction are not in it."

  Qin Chuan looked at her with a strange face: "Wei Mo, how did the second brother find out that you are always talking about your brother-in-law now, and you can talk about your brother-in-law for everything?"

  Qin Weimo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It was my brother-in-law who said it. My brother-in-law is full of knowledge, and everything he said makes sense."

  Qin Chuan suddenly looked lonely: "To be honest, the second brother is a little sad. The one my sister admires the most, and the one she talks about the most, shouldn't be my brother?"

  Qin Weimo covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

   Immediately, she suddenly felt a little strange, turned her head, looked to the side and said, "Mother, why...don't say a word?"

  The eyes of Qin Wenzheng and Qin Chuan were all on her.

  Usually she is the one who talks the most, but now several people are talking, why is she silent all of a sudden?

   After a while.

  Song Ruyue murmured three words: "It's so sinister..."

  It turned out that she just recovered from the trick her daughter said just now.

  Qin Weimo nodded in agreement: "Well, both the Song family and Cheng Guo's mansion are very sinister."

  Song Ruyue rolled her eyes, turned to look at her and said, "Stop pretending to be confused, I'm not talking about those from the Song family."

Qin Weimo had a half-smile but not a smile: "Mother, the book says that only bad people can use the word insidious. Brother-in-law's scheme tonight saved our Qin family and took away the Song family who had a grudge against us." The insidious mother said, isn't she talking about her own people?"

"Humph!"

  Song Ruyue turned her face away, with a complicated expression, and whispered in her mouth: "I think one day, our Qin family will all be taken away by some guy!"

  Qin Weimo suppressed a smile and didn't get angry with her anymore.

  The carriage stopped suddenly.

   Butler Zhou's voice came from outside: "Master, madam, we're here."

   It's not the mansion, but the night market.

  The father and son of the Qin family got out of the carriage first, and then the mother and daughter of the Qin family supported each other to get out of the carriage.

Looking at the bustling night market, Qin Chuan became happy, and said in a low voice: "Weimo, no matter how powerful your brother-in-law is, he is just a son-in-law, and he will be afraid of his wife. On occasions like this where there are beauties everywhere on the street , I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to come here, he would probably be stared at by Jian Jia’s two maids every day, let alone go to those brothels like other talented scholars…”

   Just finished speaking, Qin Weimo suddenly pointed to the crowd gathered in front of him and said, "Brother-in-law...brother-in-law is guessing lantern riddles over there..."

  Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked up.

  At the lantern riddle guessing place, a young man in a loose Confucian robe stood there, followed by three pretty girls, and a large group of well-dressed girls and women surrounded him, looking at the young man shyly and adoringly.

  The young girls and young women were still shouting excitedly:

   "Wow! The young master is so powerful! Give it to my family, and my family wants it too!"

   "Xiao Langjun, give me one too! I want it too!"

   "The little girl wants it too! The little girl wants it too!"

  Qin Chuan: "..."

  The City Lord's Mansion.

  The banquet dissipated, and the guests left one after another.

  Meng Jinnan also left.

  After the whole mansion became quiet, the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue entered the mansion specially built for her.

   Shower and change clothes.

  After taking a bath, Nangong Huoyue entered the room, and told the maid behind her, "Yueyou, bring the picture scroll sent by Miss Qin."

  The maid took the order and went, and soon brought the picture scroll.

  In the room, cigarettes curled up.

  Nangong Huoyue, with her long hair loose and a red dress, walked across the floor, sat down in front of the desk, and slowly unfolded the scroll in her hand.

"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero…"

   At that time, she only glanced at it roughly, but now, she looked at it from the beginning again, and she still felt a desolate, heroic, and tragic momentum rushing towards her face.

  She stared at every word above and read carefully.

   Finished the first round.

  She immediately and eagerly watched the second round.

  After watching all three rounds, she saw the small print that made her startled, and then almost got angry:

   "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

  The picture scrolls to the end.

  Next turn, nowhere to be seen...

  Nangong Huoyue was stunned, took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, her towering chest rose and fell, Fang said to the door: "Yue Wu, you go to the Qin Mansion tomorrow and bring Miss Qin Er."

  Yue Wu responded immediately: "Yes."

  Nangong Huoyue looked at the poems on the scroll again, and after reading them all again, Fang said, "Tell me, are these poems really written by her?"

  Yue Wu was silent for a while, and said: "Your maidservant can't tell the difference."

Nangong Huoyue looked at the "Three Kingdoms" story behind the scroll, pondered for a moment, and said, "If it's not her, then I want to know who it is. These poems don't matter, it's just the story behind it , might be of great use to me."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to the outside: "Go and ask Yeyi to check. All the people in the Qin Mansion, whether they are masters or servants, must check it out. Also, the relationship between their big families should be checked as much as possible. Check it out."

   "Yes, Your Highness."

  Nangong Huoyue stared at the beautiful small characters on the scroll for a while, then closed the scroll, got up and walked to the window.

  Push open the window.

  Outside, the moon is bright and clear, and the stars are dotted.

  Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and fixed her eyes on the top of the attic under the moonlight in the distance.
