Playing horses and whipping Hualang, the third place on the emperor list, such an honor is a great joy in anyone's house. But for Mrs. Wei, who is looking forward to her son Lian Zhong Sanyuan, there is nothing more sad than this.

Seeing her like this, Master Wei sighed: "Your heart is too big, since the founding of the country, the ancestor of the Qin family has only been a three-yuan company, and it is already very good that Changqing can be admitted to Tanhua." Don't you cry like this, your son will come back soon, how uncomfortable should he be to see you like this? You can't let him clean up the mess for your boundless ambition. ”

Mrs. Wei was unmoved, and all the voices had no meaning to her.

Lord Wei straightened his face, "Tanhua was appointed by the emperor, what should you do if you cry and mourn like this, let others see it, and sue you?"

This time, Mrs. Wei had a little voice, "I, I feel uncomfortable. Saying that, he cried, "I have worked hard to cultivate him for 20 years, but it is such a result, I am not reconciled." ”

Lord Wei was also a little melancholy in his heart, which made Mrs. Wei feel for half his life, and he also had high expectations for his son, dreaming of the glory of Lianzhong Sanyuan. "Okay, you have to pretend for a while in front of people, otherwise you will be dissatisfied with the emperor's grace, and you and I will be finished. ”

Mrs. Wei reluctantly put away her tears, making her expression appear calmer.

Wei Changqing walked in, and his face was not as happy as it should be.

Master Wei said some words of encouragement and relief, and went out to greet the guests. The mother and son in the room looked at each other and looked away silently.

Wei Changqing hid in the study, listening to the voices of the people in the living room, and his mood sank to the bottom.

Min Rou gently pushed the door and walked in.

Wei Changqing raised his head, "Sister of the Min family." ”

"Why is Cousin Wei so depressed, you are a new Tanhualang. ”

Wei Changqing smiled bitterly, "What's the use of Tanhualang, what my mother wants is the champion." ”

Min Rou looked at him straightly, "Do you still want to talk to Mrs. Wei about marrying Miss Qin?"

Wei Changqing was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's useless, she won't agree, maybe she will be angry with Sister Yuan." ”

Min Rou's expression was slightly relaxed, and Wei Changqing suddenly said, "I have already begged my aunt." ”

"You begged Concubine Wei?" Min Rou's eyes widened.

Wei Changqing's eyes flashed, "She has always loved me very much, and she will definitely help me find a way"

Outside the house, several sparrows suddenly woke up from the ground, and Mrs. Wei stood outside the door with a blue face. She reached out to push the door, but stopped at the end. The green tendons on the back of his pale hands burst out, revealing a trace of forbearance.

Mrs. Wei stepped back slightly, turned around and walked away quickly.

Min Rou tilted her head slightly, listening to the inaudible footsteps gradually fade away, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Changqing was still talking about his plan, Min Rou slowly walked to his side, sat down next to him, and listened patiently.

Different from the weird atmosphere of the Wei Mansion, the Qin family in Zhuangyuan Hutong has been very lively these days, even the old lady with a gloomy face all day long is very happy, and it is rare to give a smile when she sees Qin E.

Qin Ping was accepted into the mansion by Qin Lian, and the Qin family is also regarded as a three-jinshi, and there is also a role model, which is immeasurable for a while, and faintly has the scenery of the old lady when he was alive.

Of course, the most beautiful is Li Lu.

Compared with the previous life, Li Lu, who became the champion, was even more eye-catching, and as soon as the emperor list was posted, there were countless people who wanted to marry him that day.

The richest man in Fujian, the youngest proprietor of the country's largest commercial house, Zhuangyuanlang, any one is a hard bar for choosing a son-in-law, and together it is not too crazy.

Li Lu didn't care about anyone, and ran to the Qin Mansion if he had nothing to do. Qin hasn't been busy lately, and he's happy to be with him all day.

Qin E was so frightened that she hid in Lanwan Garden and didn't dare to come out, except for having to greet the old lady every day, all activities were canceled.

Huiniang didn't understand what she meant, Qin E couldn't explain it to her, she only said that she was unwell.

On the fifteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Concubine Wei in the palace wanted to hold a flower-viewing banquet and sent a post to the nobles in the capital. The emperor gave his approval, and the first-class jinshi also participated, and as soon as the news came out, the whole capital was lively.

Half of the first-class jinshi are unmarried men, which makes the nobles who have reached the age of marriage excited.

Qin E took the post, full of embarrassment. I didn't hear of any flower-viewing parties in my previous life, but one suddenly came out in this life, and I don't know what twists and turns there will be, not to mention that it is possible to see Li Lu and Wei Changqing.

Qin E remembered that the two of them were one head and two big, and a hundred were reluctant to go.

Qin E went to find Qin, "I have a heavy filial piety, so I won't participate in this kind of thing, so as not to cause gossip." ”

Qin Dao: "It's okay, your filial piety period has been completed for a year, and it won't be in the way to go out and walk around." ”

Qin E was unwilling, and said: "After all, it is the imperial palace, and I am afraid of conflicting with the nobles." ”

Qin smiled: "Since you have been posted, you don't have to scruple." It's hard to shirk, but it's easy to make people unhappy. You haven't been anywhere for more than a year, so it's good to go out for a walk. ”

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Qin E reluctantly retreated.

Hui Niang begged her, "You don't like to show your face, just hide aside and take a look when the time comes, if you don't go, I'll be alone again." ”

Qin E remembered what happened to Hui Niang in King Chun's Mansion, and she couldn't bear it after all, so she nodded and agreed.

On the day of entering the palace, Qin E settled Qin Yan and rode into the palace with Hui Niang.

Since the last time she went to King Chun's Mansion to celebrate her birthday, Qin E has not attended the party. When I got out of the car and saw the flowers and willows all over the courtyard, I was surprised: "Why are they all dressed like this?"

The ladies standing in twos and threes were all wearing light and flowing gauze skirts, but what was very different from the past was that the skirts were embroidered with blue edges.

Hui Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "This is the latest style, called the flower skirt." Last time you went to King Chun's Mansion and wore one, now the nobles in the capital are popular. The business of weaving cloud spinning could not be better, and it can be said that it is difficult to find a falling flower skirt. ”

Qin E helplessly held her forehead, "I had to come up with a solution because my skirt was torn by Tingniang." ”

Hui Niang smiled: "But it's good-looking, you don't know how many people you amazed that day." They don't say anything, but they are jealous in their hearts. But I don't think any of them look as good as you. ”

Qin E looked down at her clothes, a short shirt embroidered with green calyx on the white silk neckline, a brown plain skirt, except for the purse around her waist, there was no decoration, and the plain one could no longer be plain, and she really couldn't see where she looked better than others.

Hui Niang giggled: "You, with only one face, even if you wear black, you are a hundred times better than them." ”

Hui Niang's laughter attracted attention, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes looked over viciously, and Qin E and Hui Niang felt hostility from afar.

Hui Niang frowned, "Didn't she make a promise, why did she come?"

Although there is no stipulation on who will attend the flower viewing banquet, everyone tacitly knows that it is all unmarried women who come.

Gu Xiaoxiao was indeed a little strange when he came over.

Qin E took her hand, "It doesn't matter why she's there, it has nothing to do with us after all, let's go in." ”

Hui Niang nodded and walked hand in hand with her into the palace gate.
