Chapter 481 Gift
Zhuge Congfeng looked at her high ponytail and laughed, "You might as well not have it tied up like this."
"What do you care?" Qin Huiyin said angrily, "You're leaving soon, don't force me to kick you a few times when you leave."
"Kick me, I'll kick you." Zhuge Congfeng turned his back to her, bent his body, and waited for Qin Huiyin to kick him.
Qin Huiyin glanced at him unhappily and said to Puyang Qiubai, "Is the place you're going to far this time? Have you found your entourage? Otherwise, I can arrange some good men for you!"
"No need." Puyang Qiubai said, "We have already found a caravan and taken a ride with it. You drank a lot of wine yesterday, so you should get some rest today. There is no need to send us off again."
"When you arrived, I personally came to greet you. Now that you're leaving, I must personally see you off. You left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to prepare. Yesterday, I took two maids to buy some things, thinking you might need them on your journey. I'm not sure if they suit your needs. Master, Master Feng, I won't see you out of the city. We'll see each other again someday."
"We'll definitely meet again," Zhuge Congfeng said. "Don't act like we'll never come back. If we were to come back tomorrow, you'd be embarrassing us!"
"If you come back tomorrow, I'll host a welcoming party for you and personally welcome you back. As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's all my business whether you're embarrassed or not."
Zhuge Congfeng: "...You were really rude when you were talking back at me. Qiu, look at your good disciple. I should at least teach her how to play the flute. She doesn't even know how to respect her teacher."
"Who told you to teach me so poorly?" Qin Huiyin's disdain became even more obvious. "I learned from my master, and even if someone deliberately made things difficult for me and asked me to perform, I could barely get any applause. You taught me to play the flute, but the best I could do was put my mouth close to the flute's eye and make a sound. Forget about playing a tune. I've never even heard a complete flute piece."
Zhuge Congfeng rolled up his sleeves and said to Puyang Qiubai, "You go first. I'll come after you half a month later. Listen to what she said. How can I bear this injustice?"
Puyang Qiubai gave Zhuge Congfeng a push and urged him onto the carriage. He finally got on, raised the curtain, and looked at her with deep eyes: "Goodbye."
The carriage disappeared from the mansion and finally turned into a small black dot.
"Miss, don't be sad. In life, there are reunions and separations." Zhilan comforted her, "But there are people around us who will never leave us, such as our relatives, such as our future husband and children."
Qin Huiyin yawned: "I want to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Zhilan and Sujin looked at each other.
They thought Qin Huiyin would be missing for a few days, but now it seems nothing unusual.
"My lady, I thought you would be sad for a few days."
"Master and Master Congfeng are just our honored guests. I never expected them to stay at home forever. Sooner or later, we will have to separate." Qin Huiyin said, "I got to know them during this period of time and got along well with them. We have very good memories, and that's enough."
Main courtyard. Qin Huiyin dragged her exhausted body into the wing room and lay down on the soft couch as if she had no bones.
Li Taohua gestured to Runiang next to her.
Ru Niang brought the hangover soup and said, "This is the hangover soup that Madam asked the servants to make for you early this morning. Drink it quickly, you'll feel better after drinking it."
Qin Huiyin sat up straight, took the bowl, tilted her head back and drank it down with a gulp.
"Slow down, don't rush, be careful not to choke."
Qin Huiyin drank the sobering soup and let Zhilan wipe the water stains from the corners of her mouth.
"Do you feel bad now? No one tried to persuade you to drink last night, but you kept getting into arguments with Master Congfeng. Master Congfeng was a gentleman, but he later replaced all your wine with water. You thought you won, because they were letting you off!" Li Taohua poked her forehead. "You, just because so many people pamper you, are becoming more and more unruly."
"I don't care. Everyone saw it. I won. He begged for mercy, showed weakness, and admitted defeat." Qin Huiyin said.
"Yes, you win." Li Taohua laughed. "You're getting even more shameless."
Qin Huiyin regained some energy after drinking the sobering soup.
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Qin Huiyin said, "If you had nothing to do, you would have let me sleep until tomorrow and would not have called me over at this time."
"Something has indeed happened that must be dealt with immediately. I can't wait until tomorrow to contact you." Li Taohua asked Runiang to give her the thing.
Runiang gave her a piece of paper.
Qin Huiyin took it and looked at it. When she saw the pile of valuables listed on it, she asked, "What is this?"
"Prince Zhong sent someone to deliver it." Li Taohua said, "Guess what it is?"
"Not only do they want top-grade chalcedony and century-old coral trees, but they also want antique calligraphy and paintings, antique musical instruments, and the like. Judging from this list, the total value is about 50,000. Could this be the betrothal gift that Prince Zhong's Mansion specifically wants us to provide?" Qin Huiyin said, "Is Prince Zhong's Mansion in a hurry to marry their daughter off to harm us? We're still thinking of delaying it for a day, but if Prince Zhong's Mansion pushes us too hard, we won't be able to delay for a few more days."
"Don't worry, it's not a betrothal gift." Li Taohua said, "Now that you think about it, doesn't it seem less scary?"
"If it's not a betrothal gift, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?" Qin Huiyin said, "Princess Yuanying is a royal relative, and she's asking for these valuables as a betrothal gift. Although I think she's not worth it, I don't find it strange. Given the style of Prince Zhong's Mansion, this is something they would do. But the most terrifying thing about this matter is that such a long list of valuable treasures is not a betrothal gift. So when Prince Zhong asks us to officially provide a betrothal gift, what kind of sky-high price will it be?"
"Hehe..." Li Taohua had also learned Qin Huiyin's usual way of mocking her when she was unhappy. "This is what Princess Yuanying asked our mansion to provide for her birthday banquet."
"She wants us to provide so many things for her birthday party?" Qin Huiyin said, "Why doesn't she just rob them?"
"Isn't she trying to rob us right now?" Li Taohua said. "In her eyes, she's from the royal family, so we're considered high-class just by being able to marry into Prince Zhong's mansion. Now she's listing such a long list of things, she's betting we won't dare refuse, so we'll just have to suffer this loss."
"Does Big Brother know?"
"I just received the order, but your eldest brother hasn't told him about it yet," Li Taohua said. "There's no need to talk to him about this kind of thing. He's already very tired of being busy with official duties every day."
