Return of the Swallow

"Girl! It's not good!"

There was a rush of footsteps in the yard. Qin Yining, who was dressing up in the attic, frowned slightly, holding a jade bead eardrop in his hand that he hadn't had time to put on, so he got up and supported the lattice window and looked downstairs.

"What's the matter? Shouting."

A little girl stood in front of the door with a flushed face, her hands on her knees, panting for breath, looking up at Qin Yining, panting and intermittently saying: "Xi Huacheng is lost. It is said that King Pang killed many, many, many people. He also chopped off the heads, hung them on high poles, and inserted them on the city gates to show the people. Now, the whole outside is in chaos. All the people are running away. Prince Pang is about to kill in. Let’s, Our heads have to be chopped off and hung on poles to show the public!"

As the little girl said, she sat on the ground against the threshold without strength, crying in horror.

The complexion of everyone in the courtyard has changed, and the maids are crying in horror.

Qin Yining slowly closed the window, sat back in front of the dressing table, and looked at his face in the bronze mirror without speaking for a while.

Has this day finally arrived?

Although there have been speculations in this area, Qin Yining still has a sense of unreality when the real thing is about to come, and his heart hangs high, feeling empty.

Bingtang and Songlan were already pale.

Qiu Lu trembled even more, and the tea she was holding was shaken out of a bowl.

Only when Jiyun was still calm, took the jade bead earrings from Qin Yining's hand and put it on for her, and took a white jade hairpin with an orchid flower head and put it in her hair, he hesitated and said, "Girl, the lord he... …"

Qin Yining gave a wry smile, gently waved his hand to interrupt Jiyun's words, and said quietly: "I know, it's not to blame him, this is war, not a trifle, even if Dayan's soldiers have the opportunity to rush into Dazhou, they will do the same. , It’s not someone’s fault, but the war’s fault. I just thought, when will we get the head in this day."

Jiyun lowered his head when he heard the words, his heart was moved and sorrowful, and the mountains and rivers would be broken. This kind of hesitation and helplessness fell on anyone, and it would not feel good. What is rare is that her girl is sad, but sensible and sensible. Treat the matter calmly.

Song Lan said with a trembling voice: "Girl, what should we do?"

"We don't have anything to do, we can only take one step and look one step at a time." Qin Yining stood up, took a few deep breaths and forced herself to cheer up, and said: "Go to Xingning Garden first. It's almost time to go. Outside. No matter how messy it is, life still has to go."

"Yes." Seeing that Qin Yining didn't panic, the maids could calm down a bit.

On the way Qin Yining walked towards Xingning Garden, all the servants and maidservants he saw looked like a bereaved concubine.

If this is the case in Anping Hou's Mansion, you can already imagine what the street will look like.

He listened to the women as usual, dealt with some house affairs, and sent and received the right cards.

Qin Yining saw a few women hesitate and seemed to have something to say, so he guessed it in his heart.

"Mother Li, Mum Fang, what do you have to say?"

Seeing Qin Yining asked, all the women in charge and daughter-in-law stopped.

Mother Li and Mother Fang hesitated and came forward to salute.

Mother Li is more gentle and gentle, and Mother Fang is a bit more powerful, and she immediately laughed and said: "The girl is really clear, the slaves and maids do have some things, and I don't know whether to talk about them."

Qin Yining smiled, "Mother Fang said it's okay."

Mother Fang said, "That's right. My nephew is in the South. The business has been developed in the past two years. I want to pick up our family for development. I have decided to leave in the next few days. Poor, I was worried that I might not leave temporarily, and I was thinking about reuniting with my nephew in the south, so I hesitated."

Qin Yining heard the words and nodded in understanding.

The maids inside the house cautiously cast away Qin Yining's expression.

Qin Yining's plain fingers lightly rubbed the edge of the tureen, and said for a while: "Mother Fang is an old mother who is waiting in the house. She has done her best for the Qin family. Now that there is such a good place, no one will be the master. What?"

Mother Fang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly put the pair of cards she had just received back to Fang Ji on Qin Yining's hand, and turned around to leave.

Qin Yining looked at Mother Fang's figure, raised her beautiful eyes, and then looked at the other mamas in charge.

Many people subconsciously don't open their eyes and dare not look at Qin Yining.

"What about you? Do you have another arrangement at home, who would like to resign now?"

Mama Li hesitated when she heard the words: "Girl, I, my daughter and son-in-law are also in the south, and I also want to take me to retirement."

"Yeah. Mother Li is also getting older, and it's indeed time to bring her up."

Seeing Qin Yining's words like this, everyone felt that there was a play, and four or five people stood up at once, all replied that there was something in the family and they could no longer continue to work as errands.

The faces of Bingtang, Songlan, Qiu Lu and Jiyun beside Qin Yining became extremely ugly.

What's the matter at home?Obviously, seeing that the situation was not good, these people planned to run away!

On weekdays, the Qin family treats them not badly. In times of crisis, they don't even think about the benefits of the master, they just want to escape by themselves!

Qin Yining was exceptionally peaceful, and nodded slightly: "If that's the case, I know it in my heart. It's still early today, it's better to just do it like this."

Qin Yining stood up and said, "Immediately ask all the servants and maids in the inner house to gather in the large open space in front of the back garden, and say I have something to say."

The maids should have galloped out immediately.

Qin Yining told Songlan again: "Go to the outer courtyard to see if my father is at home. If he is, please ask my father to come. If he is not, the second uncle, the third uncle, or the elder brother or cousin, whoever is there is called Who will come."

"Yes. "

Songlan ran out quickly.

As soon as the people dispersed, the open and bright flower hall immediately calmed down, leaving only Qin Yining and the three maids.

The Sun family, who had been listening for a long time in the back, couldn’t help but walked out quickly, and took Qin Yining’s hand and said, "Sister Yi, how good is this? Da Zhou occupied Xihua City. I think these maids are basically I just want to pick up the children and quit. Once they leave, our family members..."

Qin Yining patted Sun’s arm comfortably, and smiled: "Mom, don’t panic, cows can’t press their heads forcibly if they don’t eat water? Today, I just took advantage of this opportunity to explain the situation, and now I’m in a nervous situation. Too much is not good for our family. It is a good thing to streamline it."

When Sun heard this, he finally nodded.

Not long after, all parties heard the news.

It was Qin Yining who wanted to give orders. At this meeting, all the masters of the old lady, the second room, and the third room gathered in the spacious open space in the back garden.The maid in the house, even the little girl who didn't keep her head, arrived.
