Qin Hanzhen heard the girls report that when the mother and son of the Xu family and Qin Zhonghai in the long room came with Qin Youyi and Su Zhongying, they were accompanying the grandmother Niu to read the account book.

Spring sowing began, and what needed to be planted in several granges under the name of Yongjiahou, how much money was spent to buy seeds, farm tools, and livestock, and how much money was spent to hire helpers, all of which had to be settled. Although the specific matters do not need to be personally ordered by the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen, the heads of the villages everywhere will take care of themselves, but what they have done, the hostess who presides over the feed must be clear in their hearts, otherwise they will be easily deceived by the subordinates in the future.

And there is actually a reason why Niu and Qin Hanzhen suddenly decided to look at the account book on a day that is not the beginning of the month or the end of the month. Because Qin An and his wife are about to return to Beijing, although under Qin Hanzhen's secret persuasion, Qin Bai and the Niu family have already decided to pack up a small house for Qin An and his wife in Changping Zhuangzi for Qin An to live in when he is on duty in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, instead of directly taking people back to Beijing. However, the size of the Zhuangzi in Changping is limited, and the number of residents is not enough, but the supply of grain, meat and vegetables is insufficient. Niu felt sorry for his youngest son and hoped that he could live more comfortably in the capital than at the same time, so he planned to allocate one or two more properties to him from Zhuangzi, which was close to Changping, to cover their daily expenses in this house.

Although Qin Hanzhen was a little unimpressed, for the sake of Aunt Xiao Feng's cousin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the sect, he still accompanied the Niu family to turn over the account book. She also wanted to help come up with ideas, lest the Niu family give the best Zhuangzi to Qin An, but make her cheap father suffer.

Everyone in the long room suddenly came, and she was quite surprised. Tomorrow is the day of the Spring Banquet in the Chengenhou Mansion, what can't we say tomorrow? Besides, they have made such a big formation, and even the Xu family, who has rarely come forward, has been dispatched, could it be that something has happened to the Spring Banquet?

Niu also said: "Yo, this is really a bit strange, this is not a festival, the eldest sister-in-law actually came to find our third room, don't something happen?" Obviously, he also had the same idea as his granddaughter Qin Hanzhen.

The Niu family and the Xu family also had a knot in their early years, mainly because the Niu family remembered that the Xu family had been married to Qin Bai and was secretly jealous. But in the past few years, the Xu family has not shown any ambiguous words and deeds, Qin Bai almost avoided the Xu family, the intersection of the two is very rare, and the Niu family is not really a chicken belly, how can she still eat flying vinegar for something that has no shadow? As a result, she spent more time with Xu's family, and when she was fine, she couldn't help but run to Chengenhou's mansion to talk to Xu's family. After a long time, the two became more acquainted, but they put aside the knot in their early years, and the two really developed a friendship with each other.

In fact, with Xu's identity and age, it is rare for her to find friends of the same age, who can sit on an equal footing and talk without scruples. Although Niu has little reading and is a businessman, he has a frank temperament and is a decent person, Xu has been with her for a long time, and he also thinks she is a good partner. The two of them live in two houses on weekdays, but if someone makes any fresh and delicious dishes, or gets any good supplements, they will give each other a copy and share it together. When they have nothing to do, the two old ladies will also sit together and talk about family life. Usually the Niu family of the third room goes to the long house, but the Xu family of the long room rarely goes to the house, and I don't know if it is because he wants to avoid Qin Bai.

Because of this reason, when the Niu family heard that the Xu family was coming in person, they felt very surprised, and hurriedly put down the account book, asked Mama Hu to put it away, and pulled his granddaughter Qin Hanzhen out to greet him.

Xu smiled and calmly exchanged a few words with Niu. Qin Youyi, who was following her, was pale, her lips were pursed, and she was a little distracted, anyone who looked at it knew that she had something on her mind.

Even Niu's saw it, and hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong with Youyi?"

Qin Youyi smiled at her: "I'm fine, don't worry, auntie." ”

Niu Shi looked behind her suspiciously: "Didn't you say that Zhong Hai and Aunt Su also came, why didn't you see them come in?"

Xu Shi smiled lightly: "They went to the third uncle to talk, let's talk about ours, don't pay attention to them." With that, he pulled Niu back to the house.

Qin Hanzhen fell behind, followed Qin Youyi's side, looked at her worried appearance, and was puzzled for a while: "Little aunt, are you really okay?" I see that your face is very pale. ”

Qin Youyi smiled weakly: "I'm fine, I'm really fine!" After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but glance back in the direction she came from. Qin Hanzhen recognized that direction, which led to Qin Bai's study. In this way, is Qin Youyi worried about looking for Qin Bai's husband and brother?

After the four of them entered the house, they sat down, and the girls brought hot tea and retreated. Qin Hanzhen asked people to get snacks, but Xu said: "The three girls don't have to bother, just sit down and have a cup of tea together." Lunch has only been eaten for a short time, and I will eat snacks at this time, but I am afraid that I will not be able to eat dinner. ”

Qin Hanzhen gave up and asked with a smile: "Why does the eldest uncle and grandmother have the leisure to visit the door today?"

Xu sighed, pointed to his little daughter and said, "Isn't it for this evil obstacle?!" Su's son-in-law encountered a difficult matter, and he had no way to ask for advice, so he could only find us for help. Your second uncle only understands the reason, but he can't make up his mind, so he has to bring Su Zi's son-in-law over and ask your grandfather for advice. As for me, because I had nothing to do, I was idle, so I simply brought your aunt over to talk to your grandmother. ”

Qin Youyi lowered her head, Qin Hanzhen blinked, wondering if she had just seen her tears.

What the hell is going on?!

Niu Shi hurriedly said to Xu: "Why are you so embarrassed? They are all relatives, not outsiders. If Son-in-law Su has something to ask, just talk to our old man. He's the best tempered man, and he'll never get angry. ”

Xu Shi smiled reluctantly: "Didn't you ask Zhong Hai to take him to consult the third uncle? We'll just talk about ours. Changing the topic again, "I've been here once since the third girl's birthday, and it's been seven or eight days now, right? Now that the weather is good, I wonder if the flowers in your garden are blooming?"

Niu said: "Where can you drive so fast? Although the weather is sunny now, the wind is still cold. Spring flowers are delicate and may not be able to withstand the cold wind. However, there are a few apricot blossoms out of the flower bones, and you can also enjoy it, but I am afraid that your body will not be able to stand it, so that the wind blows, and you will catch a cold. ”

Xu Shi smiled: "Where is it so delicate? In a little while, when the weather is warmer and the flowers in your garden are blooming, I will definitely come and have a good look. Our garden at home, after watching it for so many years, has long been tired of seeing it, and it is not as fresh and interesting as your garden. ”

The garden of Yongjiahou Mansion was renovated and reorganized after the former tenant Xie moved away. There is a speech from the emperor, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs guarantees that the pattern and scenery are very extraordinary. But since the Qin family moved in with the third room, the wife of Chengenhou, the wife of the Long House, Xu, rarely went to the three-room site in order to avoid suspicion. Occasionally, in order to celebrate her birthday or her nephew Qin Ping's promotion, she would pass through the house to attend a family banquet, and there was no opportunity to wander around, at most, she walked through the garden, and when she returned to the Chengenhou Mansion through the side gate, she could catch a glimpse of the scenery around the path. Now Xu said that he felt fresh and wanted to take a good look, but Niu naturally would not refuse, and discussed with her what flowers bloom best in her garden, when the flowering period is usually there, and so on.

The two old ladies chatted about family life in a matter-of-fact manner, and they seemed to be chatting happily, but Qin Hanzhen was so bored that he wanted to yawn, so he could only hold back in order not to lose his honor in front of the elders in the long room.

Qin Youyi still didn't belong to her mind. Since beating her at the Chengenhou Mansion and scolding her brother, she has been in a trance. She originally guessed that her brother and nephew might have discovered the inappropriateness between the Ninghua Wang brothers and the Zhenxi Hou, but they couldn't say it to her, for fear that she would be caught between the Qin and Su families, so they would think things through, creating a false impression of "accidentally breaking the niece's private relationship", so that her husband Su Zhongying could smoothly draw a line with the Ninghua Wang brothers. If this is true, then when she returns to her parents' home, she can tell her mother and brother about her difficulties without worrying about anything. They will protect themselves and will never leak secrets casually.

However, Qin Zhonghai not only did not agree to her request immediately, but scolded her. It is one thing for the Qin family to be willing to contribute to her, a married daughter, as well as her husband and children. It's another thing for her to have the courage to bring trouble back to her parents' house. Qin Zhonghai originally thought that all the conspiracies of the Marquis of Zhenxi and the King of Ninghua had not yet had time to be implemented, and he only needed to let the two families draw a clear line, and the matter could be resolved, but he never expected that the Marquis of Zhenxi had already done so many things that violated the laws of the imperial court for the King of Ninghua and the King of Shu. On the one hand, he felt that hatred was not made of steel, and on the other hand, he was sweating for his sister and brother-in-law.

He finally agreed, and asked his mother and Qin Youyi to come to the third room together and ask for help from Yongjiahou Qin Bai. However, it is enough for him to take his brother-in-law to see the third uncle, and the female dependents should stay with the third aunt Niu, so as to stabilize them and let them not disturb the people in the study. Qin Youyi was scolded sadly by her brother, and when she saw that he was doing her best for their husband and wife, she couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking that if it wasn't for the lives and future of her two sons, she would never bring the pot back to her parents' house, and it would have affected her unrelated mother and brother.

Her appearance was very conspicuous, and Niu couldn't help but ask again: "What's wrong with Youyi? If you encounter difficulties, just say it!"

Qin Youyi wanted to speak and stopped. Xu Shi hurriedly said to Niu: "Haven't you been angry with her mother-in-law at home? You also know what her mother-in-law is, and it is useless to say more." Hengzhu and his wife will soon leave Beijing, and they will not have to be rubbed by her mother-in-law in the future, so I will let her endure it for two more days. ”

Niu Shi said: "It is for that one? That person is indeed a mean person, blind with a kind face!" As he spoke, he gave the example of Mrs. Hou Shizi of Zhenxi and Miss Su. The two families are blessed by their in-laws, and the Niu family has heard a lot of gossip.

Xu followed her tone and talked about Miss Su and her mother, because of Qin Youyi, there were a lot of dry goods, and it was by no means comparable to the gossip that came out for no reason. After her mother exchanged glances five times and three times, Qin Youyi also regained her spirits, interjected a sentence or two from time to time, and chatted with her.

Qin Hanzhen felt bored again, so he found an excuse to go out to take a breath, and planned to take a walk around the corridor of the main courtyard. Who knew that before she reached the corner, she saw Yao walking towards her, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

Why is it that even Yao's is here?
