Chapter 34 Bad Match
In the elegant room of the teahouse, surrounded by the scent of tea, young men and women sat opposite each other.
"Fangzhou's new red bean cake." Qiu Heng pushed the food box over.
"Thank you." Xue Han hid his embarrassment when his subordinates shouted to him that the red bean cake was coming, and thanked him calmly.
"It can't even be called a thank-you gift. Mr. Xue is too polite." Qiu Heng finished his polite remarks and explained his purpose, "Mr. Xue, if you are free and convenient, I would like to ask you to help investigate a person."
When it comes to investigators, the Imperial City Division is undoubtedly the best.
"Who?"
"The Fourth Young Master of the Marquis of Xiping Mansion." Since he asked for help, Qiu Heng didn't hide anything. "His family invited a matchmaker to come to ask for my second sister's hand in marriage. I want to get to know this Fourth Young Master to see if he is a good match." .”
"Okay." The young man agreed.
Qiu Heng took out the banknote from his purse and handed it over.
"What is this?"
"Two hundred taels of silver, Master Xue's hard work."
Xue Han stared at the banknote for a while, then twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "No need."
"I feel sorry for letting Mr. Xue help in vain."
"If Miss Qiuliu feels sorry for you -" Xue Han's eyes flashed, "Did you bring any broken silver? Just give me one tael of silver."
Han Ziheng compensated her with one thousand taels of silver, which could be used for a long time.
"One tael?" Qiu Heng pursed his lips and took out a piece of broken silver from his purse.
For such a small fee, Xue Han's kindness can be felt even more.
No matter where this kindness comes from, if she can get help, she will not refuse it.
She will rely on herself, but not only on herself.
Seeing Xue Han accept the broken silver, Qiu Heng thanked him again: "Sorry for bothering you, I'm waiting for news from Mr. Xue."
"Miss Qiu Liu." Xue Han called to the girl who was about to get up and leave.
Qiu Heng met his dark eyes.
"Do we need to check on Mr. Cui?" the young man asked.
Qiu Heng's eyes flashed slightly.
As expected of the Imperial City Division, he has mastered such small things.
Xue Han saw that the girl in front of him had a strange misunderstanding about the Imperial City Division, but he was not prepared to explain.
He also had a hard time explaining it.
He waited for her response.
Do you need to check it out, or are you...satisfied?
"No need." As soon as he said these words, Qiu Heng seemed to see the young man's eyes darken.
"That Cui Er... is not a good match."
Qiu Heng curled his lips: "Thank you, Mr. Xue, for reminding me. Grandpa is ready to refuse."
A smile appeared on the young man's lips: "It would be great if my grandfather could recognize people with his wise eyes."
"Then I'll wait for news from Mr. Xue."
"Okay."
Xue Han did not send Qiu Heng downstairs. After she left, he opened the food box and ate red bean cake with tea.
The young man pushed the door open and came in, stretched his neck to look at the food box on the table: "It's really a red bean cake!"
"Hu Si."
"My lord, please tell me."
"Did you eat too much?"
Hu Si smiled shamelessly: "Not only did I not eat much, I was also hungry."
He said and reached out to touch the red bean cake, but Xue Han pushed him away.
"Sir, there are so many, you can't finish them all. Such sweet and greasy snacks——"
Xue Han didn't stop him anymore and looked at Hu Si stuffing the snack into his mouth with a look of shock.
“This red bean cake is different from the usual ones!”
Xue Han covered the food box: "Go and check someone..."
"Yes." Before leaving, Hu Si couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you like that little lady?"
It was really strange, he thought it would take two years for adults to get the hang of it.
After all, he calls himself an adult, but he is actually only eighteen years old, several years younger than him. Xue Han glanced at him: "If you don't like it, go and do something."
The door opened and closed, and the room became quiet.
The boy put his hand on the food box and repeated in his mind: I don't like it.
The second wife Lan proposed to meet him, but the old lady did not object.
Getting married is a lifelong event, so it’s best to be cautious.
On the contrary, when Uncle Yongqing learned about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.
What are you looking at? Just give up if you think the man is not good-looking? It's just nonsense.
The two houses quietly agreed on a date to see each other, and Qiu Heng also received news of Xue Han's investigation.
"The fourth young master in Xipinghou Mansion has a distant cousin who lives in a poor household in the Hou Mansion. Madam Xipinghou found out that the two were secretly in love and was extremely opposed to it, but Zhao Si insisted on marrying his cousin, so Madam Xipinghou was anxious Make a marriage arrangement for your son.”
"You just picked my second sister?"
"Probably because the Qiu family girl has such a good reputation, Mrs. Xipinghou wanted to find a good-looking daughter-in-law so that her son would be happy."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Qiu Heng frowned upon hearing this.
If Qiu Xuan married the Fourth Young Master of Zhao, and Qiu Xuan drowned after Qiu Fu died in love, could it be because Qiu Fu had just entered the prime minister's house and the prime minister's grandson died suddenly? Yong Qingbo's move not only failed to The recent relationship between the two families has greatly offended the Prime Minister's Mansion, causing the Xiping Hou Mansion or Zhao Si himself to have murderous intentions?
No matter who Qiu Xuan married, it was certain that Zhao Si was not a good match.
To make Mrs. Hou rush to marry a daughter-in-law, the relationship between Zhao Si and his cousin may not be as simple as Xue Han's fluttering words of mutual affection.
Xue Han was embarrassed to say too much at first, but seeing Qiu Heng frowning, he still said it: "The cousin from the Xiping Marquis Mansion seems to be pregnant..."
Qiu Heng sneered: "How is this different from cheating on marriage?"
"It's not kind."
Xue Han actually didn't care much about this kind of thing. He had seen too many embarrassing things in the Imperial City Division.
But he wondered what she would do next.
"How to plan?" After hearing Xue Han's question, Qiu Heng lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, "Tell my second sister."
"What if you don't believe it?"
Qiu Heng looked at him in surprise: "The Imperial City Division found out, how can you not believe it?"
Xue Han was stunned.
Did he directly tell his sister that he was the one investigating?
Isn't she worried about what her sisters will think about being involved with him?
For a moment, the young man's thoughts were extremely complicated.
"The situation Mr. Xue investigated has helped me a lot. What else does Mr. Xue like to eat? Fangzhou is good at making all kinds of snacks. I will bring it to you next time we meet."
Xue Han did not hesitate: "Just red bean cake."
Qiu Heng laughed.
Master Xue really likes red bean cake.
Back at the uncle's house, Qiu Heng went to Qiu Xuan's residence.
Qiu Xuan is looking at the embroidery samples.
"Liu Mei, sit down. The snacks are not as delicious as Lengxiangju. The scented tea I just bought is pretty good. Liu Mei will try it."
Qiu Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I have something to say to my second sister."
Seeing her serious expression, Qiu Xuan sent the maid out, leaving the two sisters alone.
"What does Sixth Sister want to say?"
"Second sister, have you met Mr. Zhao Si?"
Qiu Xuan nodded slightly, her cheeks flushed.
It was only then that I took the opportunity of offering incense to meet the Fourth Young Master Zhao. He was a handsome young master with a tall figure and a handsome figure.
To be fair, she was satisfied with her family background and appearance.
Qiu Heng also saw her satisfaction from Qiu Xuan's reaction. She sighed in her heart and said disappointing words: "Second sister, Fourth Young Master Zhao is not a good match."
The smile in Qiu Xuan's eyes disappeared and turned into astonishment: "How can Sixth Sister say this?"
"He has a cousin whom he loves."
Qiuxuan:?
"His cousin is pregnant."
Qiuxuan:? !
"I know where his cousin is settled."
Qiuxuan:! !
