Qin Yun returned to the mansion, he didn't take off his official robe, and hurriedly came to see the old lady, "What's wrong?"

The old lady opened her mouth and asked, "Is there any news from the Wei family?"

"You called me back in a hurry, just for this?"

"Otherwise, why?" Old Madam Qin urged, "What's going on?"

Qin Yun was upset about this, took off his official hat and put it on the coffee table, and sighed: "There has been no movement, before I come back, I am about to go to see Master Wei." ”

The old lady said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you. Lan Sheng's daughter-in-law came just now, guess what? Mrs. Jing'an Hou has taken a fancy to Yuan Niang and wants to marry us!"

Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, "How could the Marquis of Jing'an want to marry us, are you mistaken?"

"You can't be wrong with a clear question. ”

Qin Yunyou didn't believe it, "This is too sudden. ”

"What's this, Yuan Niang's appearance is full of girls in the capital, and it is natural that the Jing'an Hou Mansion will take a fancy to her. Although Old Madam Qin didn't like Qin E, she had to admit Qin E's beauty. As Qin E grew older, her appearance was even better than that of the Shen family back then.

This reason convinced Qin Yun that a woman's appearance was indeed the most important.

"Jing'an Hou has two sons, which one is she talking about?"

Old Madam Qin was stunned for a moment, "Which one can there be, isn't it the son of the Min family." ”

"That's the second son, this second son has never seen it, and I heard that his health is not very good. ”

The old lady wrote lightly: "It's just a little frail, nothing serious." ”

Qin Yun felt that it was inappropriate, "It's not okay if your health is not good, if there is a good one in the future, wouldn't it hurt Yuan Niang." And he doesn't even have a reputation, much worse than Wei Changqing, I don't think it's good for me. ”

The old lady said unhappily: "He is the son of the Marquis of Jing'an, and he will inherit the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion in the future, what kind of fame will he test? If you want me to say that it is better than Wei Changqing, Wei Changqing is jealous of fighting for women, and he lost the title of Tanhualang in the fight, which angered Long Yan, what can he do in the future." ”

Qin Yun also fell silent, and the old lady looked even more energetic, "You have to think about it, there is already a noble concubine in his house." This noble concubine's father is a household servant, and the official is older than you, what kind of comfortable days can Yuan Niang marry in? In case Wei Changqing favors the concubine and kills his wife, it will really hurt Yuan Niang. ”

Old Madam Qin's words were reasonable, but her thoughts were not good.

But these words really moved Qin Yun, he hadn't thought about it, but he had always had a good impression of Wei Changqing, and he always felt that this descendant would not treat Qin E badly, so he couldn't give it up.

Qin Yun hesitated for a while, "Let me think about this matter, even if I don't marry into the Wei family, I don't necessarily have to marry the Jing'an Hou Mansion." ”

Old Madam Qin couldn't, and urged: "Then you can hurry up, that's the Jing'an Hou Mansion, if you procrastinate, beware of offending people." ”

Qin E didn't know that under Meng Jingke's instructions, her fate was linked to the Jing'an Hou Mansion again. She was now looking forward to seeing Huang Bi, and Steward Feng knew that she wanted to see Huang Bi, so he specially called the people from various Zhuangzi a few days in advance.

By noon, after eating in all courtyards, the whole house was quiet, and Gray Wen accompanied Qin E to the front yard quietly.

Feng Qi led her to sit down in a clean room, and after a while, led Huang Bi in.

Huang Bi didn't know who he was coming to see, but he was startled when he saw Qin E, "Big lady?" After shouting, he found that the person in front of him was too young, and knew that he had called the wrong person.

Feng Qidao: "This is the eldest lady." ”

Huang Bi hurriedly knelt down, "Miss." ”

Qin E looked at him carefully, wearing cotton clothes, his face was dark, and he looked like he was farming all day. When he looked at himself, his eyes were clear, as Feng Gui said, he was an honest man.

"You are Huang Bi, who used to manage the grass and trees in the mansion?"

"Miss Hui, yes. ”

"Then why did you go to Zhuangzi again?"

Huang Bi lowered his head and said: "Four years ago, when the slaves were in charge of the garden, there were a few precious flowers and plants newly planted by the master, but the slaves did not manage them well and died. In a fit of rage, the old man sent me to Zhuangzi. ”

Qin E looked at Feng Qi, and Feng Qi said: "The dead are a few precious plants and trees, and the old man asked someone to get them from the south, and it took a lot of effort and silver." When it rained, I didn't take anything to cover it, and I was scraped off my heel. The old man thought that he was honest and dutiful, so he sent him to work in the Zhuangzi. I have done a good job in the past two years, and I was promoted to steward at the beginning of this year. ”

Qin E nodded and asked Huang Bi, "What month did you go to Zhuangzi four years ago?"

"In September. ”

It was after Qin Yu's accident.

"One thing I want to ask you, when you were still in charge of the garden four years ago, did you purchase a batch of pebbles into the house?"

Huang Bi thought for a while and said, "I bought a batch." ”

"Are you sure?"

Huang Bi said: "I don't dare to say anything else, I remember this matter very clearly." Because pebbles are hard to buy, I ran to several places, accidentally lost a bag of money, and was so hungry that I didn't eat for a day. ”

"Then you must remember who told you to buy it?"

"It's Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang raised two new tanks of fish, and said that she wanted to pave the fish tank with pebbles. ”

"How much did you buy in total?"

Huang Bi thought for a while and said, "It's almost sixty catties, two big bags." ”

"So much, all for her?"

"It's all for her. ”

"How much can you use for two tanks of fish, why does she buy so much?"

"This slave didn't know, it was written on the purchase list at that time, and the slave went to buy it. ”

Qin E immediately looked at Feng Qi, and before she could open her mouth, Feng Qi said, "This kind of list is not kept." ”

Qin E also understood in her heart, but she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Huang Bi suddenly said: "The eldest lady wants a list, I have it." ”

Qin E looked at him in disbelief, and Huang Bi said, "That was the last time I bought something for the mansion, and then I forgot it in my clothes and took it with me when I left." Huang Bi pointed to the clothes on his body, "This is this, this is my best body, this time I came to the house to deliberately turn it out from under the box, and also turned out the list." ”

This is really dozing off and meeting the pillow, Feng Qi said: "I'll send someone to go back with him to get it." ”

Qin E smiled at him, she always knew that he was smart and capable, but she didn't want to be so smart.

With the unexpected results, Qin E was in a good mood and slept beautifully at night.

As soon as Qin Yun went out the next morning, Mrs. He came.

"Aunt can discuss it with my eldest brother, and Mrs. Jing'an Hou will wait for me to reply. ”

The old lady sighed and said, "I told him, saying that I would think about it again." ”

"Such a good family affair, what is there to dislike. ”

The old lady was afraid that the duck in her mouth would fly away, so she said with a smile: "You just tell Mrs. Jing'an Hou that Taichang Temple has been a little busy recently, and she can't think about it for a while, so I'll wait for a few days." ”

Mrs. He was amused in her heart, whether Taichang Temple was busy or not, wouldn't Jing'an Hou know?
