Yu Mingzhi felt very tired when he came back from the Gu family, although it was a good thing to make friends with a noble lady in Beijing, but it took a lot of energy.

However, in order to assist Qin Ji and for his father's unjust case, it is worth it no matter how hard and tired it is.

Back in the wing, Zhu'er waited for her to change into a water-blue dress, took off her head full of beads, changed into a simple bun, and inserted two hostas, which seemed to be gentle and soft, and took the book and leaned on the soft couch next to the bed, lazily flipping, waiting for Qin Ji to come back from the yamen.

Pearls came and asked what meals to prepare for the evening.

Yu Mingzhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Prepare something lighter, two vegetarian dishes, cook some mung bean porridge, and steam a fish." ”

Pearl's "eh" went to inform the kitchen.

Yu Mingzhi flipped a few pages, his eyelids fought, his head tilted, and he fell asleep with his arms on his pillow.

Then she had a wonderful dream, in which she and Qin Ji had a pair of well-behaved and lovely children, and they raised them together to grow up. Although there are many difficulties, disputes and disagreements in the process, it is not as sweet and affectionate......

"That's nice......" she whispered.

"What's so good?"

Someone blew in her ear, and her ear was tickling, and she woke up suddenly. As soon as Yu Mingzhi raised his head, he kissed Qin Ji's lips.

Qin Ji took the opportunity to press his hand on the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

Lips and teeth are intertwined, full of each other's breath.

It's like their lives, intertwined ever since.

Qin Ji's eyes seemed to be full of stars, and he asked with a smile, "What's really good?"

Yu Mingzhi was ashamed to tell Qin Ji about the dream just now, and pulled the thin quilt that appeared on her lap. Snuggled in his arms, "I vaguely remember that it was a good dream, but I was suddenly woken up by you and forgot about it." ”

Qin Ji hugged her tightly, "That...... Tell me when you remember it?"

"Well, I'll tell you. Yu Mingzhi looked out the window, but he didn't expect it to be dark, "Dinner should be ready, let's go eat?"

"Good. Qin Ji pulled up Yu Mingzhi's body and helped her with the hairpin on her head. Pull the shredded hair from your sideburns behind. Then he came to the table holding hands.

"Is there anything going on in the yamen today?" asked Yu Mingzhi after eating half a bowl of mung bean porridge.

Qin Ji said: "The matter of the officials in Xiangzhou, I have cooperated with Dali Temple and reported it to the emperor." Soon people will be sent to Xiangzhou to arrest these people. and appoint new officials as soon as possible. Wait until they come to the capital. You can find out your father-in-law's case, and at that time, the loss of the criminal department's file will also be exposed, and don't even think about running away. ”

Yu Mingzhi bit his chopsticks. Nodding.

Qin Ji said: "I also sent someone to watch those officials, and there will never be another accident." In addition, Tan Tai and Wan Baoyang fell ill and died one after another. ”

"Hmm......" Yu Mingzhi still nodded.

These people were tortured, and most of them died before they could go to the execution ground, and the prison conditions were harsh, dirty, and without enough food to eat.

If it is really evil, there will be evil retribution.

Yu Mingzhi added half a bowl of porridge.

Qin Ji asked, "Did you have fun going to Gu's house today?"

"Happy. Yu Mingzhi took a bite of fish and said with a smile: "I have met many ladies and young ladies from many families, but I didn't expect you to be so bad, but there are so many officials who make friends with you." ”

Qin Ji said: "There are those who tend to be inflammatory, but there are also those who treat each other sincerely. ”

"Treat each other sincerely?" Yu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, and then smiled, "Also, a few ladies have made an appointment to go to the Yunju Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha in a few days." I want to ask for a peace charm for myself and for you, and I hope that you will be safe and smooth in the future. ”

Especially when I heard that those officials were about to be escorted back to the capital, it showed that there was hope that my father's case would be overturned.

Then King Yi's faction will definitely find an opportunity to murder them, and the journey back to Beijing is dangerous, and I hope this matter will go well.

Qin Ji touched Yu Mingzhi's hand, "In addition to bathing, I will definitely wear it on my body for a moment." ”

After eating, the two went for a walk in the courtyard, talked about returning to Guo's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and said that they would go to the Salesian Bureau to deliver moon cakes that day, and they would go out to see the lanterns together in the evening.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, there is a lantern festival, admiring the moon, eating, drinking, and appreciating the lanterns.

Qin Ji said: "As long as you're not afraid of being tired, it's fine." ”

Yu Mingzhi took his arm and shook his head, "How can I feel tired with you......" She blushed again as soon as she finished speaking, obviously Qin Ji used to say these love words, why did it be her turn to say it unconsciously now?

She coughed lightly and pointed to the flowers in the garden, "You see, how beautiful these flowers are raised by the maids...... I thought I would like to learn from the gardener, so that I can water the flowers and plants when I have nothing to do. ”

"Good. Qin Ji hugged her waist, "Then I will drive away the dark clouds and heavy rain for you, and the sun will shine on the flowers, so that they can bloom better." ”

The two laughed, and the courtyard echoed with joyful laughter, and the maids smiled at each other when they heard it.

The relationship between Childe and Mrs. is really good.

After freshening up, Qin Ji took the official document and returned to the room to look at it.

Yu Mingzhi was lying on the bed, raising his eyes to look at Qin Ji who was serious in the face of Kumon, the candlelight shining on his cheeks, countless brilliance circulating in his eyes, and his face, which always seemed cold and ruthless in front of people, was not soft and gentle.

Sensing his focused gaze, Qin Ji lowered his head and smiled.

Yu Mingzhi rubbed against him, "Keep watching, I'm going to sleep." ”

Qin Ji pinched her cheek, "Did the candlelight hit you?"

Yu Mingzhi closed his eyes and shook his head.

Qin Ji's gaze returned to the official document, and when he was almost done, he immediately put down the official document, blew out the candle, got into the quilt, hugged Yu Mingzhi in his arms, and fell asleep sweetly.

On the 15th of August, Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji first went to the Salesian Bureau to distribute mooncakes and various foods before coming to Guo's house.

The Guo family has no relatives today, so they eat by their own family.

As soon as Yu Mingzhi rested for a while, he saw a lady walking in with a smile on her face, and they greeted Guo Chang and Guo Yun's family politely, and then they were welcomed into the house and greeted Qin Ji and Yu Mingzhi again.

Guo Zengshi whispered to Yu Mingzhi: "This is Mrs. Lang Zhongkang of the Ministry of Rites and the eldest lady of his family. Take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to come to our house to meet. ”

Yu Mingzhi was surprised, "Why did you come here like this?" What should the Yao family do?

Guo Zengshi pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes flashed with pride and raised eyebrows, "Yao Xiuning has been taken back by her mother's family, and the eldest brother has divorced her for two reasons: tongue and bad disease." ”

"Huh?" actually did it quietly, no wonder Mrs. Guo didn't come out to meet people today.

Yu Mingzhi looked around, the old lady was so stubborn, she definitely couldn't think of it.

This Miss Kang is thoughtful and well-spoken, and she has something to do with Qin Ji. No matter how you look at it, it will bring more benefits than the Yao family. Although Guo Chang honors his mother. But what does it matter how much she hurts her old man's heart in front of interests? It wasn't the last time he used trickery to destroy her wedding dress and force him into a dilemma.

Guo Zengshi sighed again: "In the future, there will be people to help share the family's affairs, and I don't have to work so hard." She said with a smile, but there was a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

Rights are not easy to come by. but they have to hand it over. No one can bear it.

Yu Mingzhi smiled. Too lazy to comfort anything.

Miss Kang and Guo Chang said a few words, and then came to Yu Mingzhi, "I've seen Mrs. Qin." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Miss Kang doesn't have to be polite. Maybe I'll have to call you in the future. ”

Miss Kang covered her mouth and smiled, although Guo Chang is older and has three children, but as the most high-profile businessman in Beijing at present, and with a son-in-law like Qin Sheren, where can he find such a good marriage?

At her age, it is impossible to find a good family again. Marrying into the Guo family and being a lady who enjoys all the glory and wealth, and Guo Chang does not have a concubine or a room, what's wrong?

She took Yu Mingzhi's hand, and before going out, she was told by her father and mother that she must get closer to Mrs. Qin.

"I'm only about ten years older than you, so I'm embarrassed to shout like that. ”

"It should. Yu Mingzhi knew her thoughts, and also showed appropriate enthusiasm.

"I don't know what Mrs. Qin likes, I prepared a gift by myself, I hope you don't dislike it. As she spoke, Miss Kang asked the maid to bring a brocade box, open it in person, and send it over.

It is a set of pearl heads.

The pearls are the same size and round and beautiful.

In the case of the Rite Ancestral Hall, such a gift is already the best, which shows his good intentions.

And it's beautiful, too.

Yu Mingzhi laughed, his fingers stroked those pearls, and he did not hide his affection, "It's so beautiful, thank you Miss Kang." ”

"Mrs. Qin likes it, so I'm relieved. ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Miss Kang still call me Baozhi, it's too obvious to call Mrs. Qin." ”

"Yes, Bao Zhi. Miss Kang smiled and nodded, although the eldest lady of the Guo family, who is not rumored to be much in the outside world, is married to Qin Sheren, but she is so kind and amiable, and she is not a small family, she is generous and decent, and she treats people and things in a measured manner, which strengthens her heart to marry the Guo family.

Guo Zengshi saw that they were talking happily, and he couldn't help but come over and interject.

No matter what kind of thoughts they have, everyone talks and laughs constantly.

Mrs. Kang hesitated for a moment and asked Yu Mingzhi: "I heard that you and other ladies made an appointment to go to Yunju Temple on the first day of the next lunar month to offer incense?"

Yu Mingzhi said in his heart that the news spread so quickly, and nodded in response: "There is such a thing. She smiled kindly, "Mrs. Kang, if Miss Kang is free, would it be good to go for a walk together?"

Mrs. Kang has this intention, and the people who can travel with Mrs. Qin are definitely not the families of ordinary officials, although they seem to be humble, but it is only temporary, after all, there are Qin Sheren and Mrs. Qin behind their backs.

"That's a good feeling. She nodded again and again, "Our family all believe in Buddhism, and I heard that Yunju Temple is now the most prosperous incense, and the gentleman who unsigned is also quite accurate." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "That's what I heard about it. ”

With the topic of Yunju Temple, several people chatted more enthusiastically.

After dinner, Qin Ji and Yu Mingzhi went to the street to look at the lanterns, thinking that they would meet "acquaintances", so they disguised themselves as a middle-aged peasant couple and walked side by side on the bustling street, looking at all kinds of lanterns.

Colorful lanterns of different shapes are overwhelming, and the brilliance flows, illuminating half of the sky. There are all kinds of things sold on both sides of the street, candy people, masks and lanterns, all kinds of food, and even all kinds of strange pills that are special products of southern Xinjiang, and there are many people crowded in one place to guess lantern riddles so that they can redeem prizes.

Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji were hindered by their current identities, so they only looked at each riddle, and then exchanged answers with each other in a low voice.

When it's the same answer every time, two people can be even sweeter than getting a prize.

However, the two were also competing with each other to see who could guess the most, so they frolicked through most of the street.

"Childe, miss, shall you buy a bouquet of flowers? Look, this delicate flower complements the beauty of Miss?" the orchid vendor on the street enthusiastically recommended to a passing man and woman.

A cyan dress swept in front of him, and the two people who were stopped by the hawker just blocked Yu Mingzhi's way. Although Qin Ji reached out in time to stop it, she still stepped on the upper of one of them.

A jet-black shoe print is printed on the light pink embroidered shoes embroidered with peonies.

In order to pretend to look like some, Qin Ji specially asked someone to take two pairs of shoes to the farmland and step on them, and then send them back for them to wear.

The owner of the embroidered shoes was suddenly angry, and he screamed and was about to give Yu Mingzhi a slap.

"Mengrui!" Someone leaned closer to the woman before Qin Ji and grabbed her wrist.

Qin Ji squinted, it was Yue Zhaohui and Zhao Mengrui who appeared in front of them, it was common for two men and women who had already been married to come out to play during the festival, but they didn't expect to be bumped into by them.

Zhao Mengrui glared at the expressionless Yu Mingzhi viciously, and shouted: "She stepped on my embroidered shoes! ”

Yu Mingzhi grabbed Qin Ji's hand and said to her: "This young lady, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Mengrui interrupted her, "You're just jealous that my shoes look good!"

Yue Zhaohui sighed with a headache, "If you want to blame, isn't it because the vendor who bought flowers blocked our way, and the people behind didn't have time to stop?"

When the peddler heard that the fire was blowing on his side, he ran away with a smoke.

Zhao Mengrui pursed his lips, although he was very reluctant, but he didn't say anything more.

Yue Zhaohui politely said to Yu Mingzhi: "It's okay, you didn't mean it. I'll take care of it, so I won't delay you in enjoying the lanterns. ”

"Thank you, childe. Yu Mingzhi bowed and thanked him, and then hurriedly pulled Qin Ji and left.

Zhao Mengrui still couldn't hold back, "Why did you just let him go?"

Yue Zhaohui said: "It's a trivial matter. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, squatted down, and personally wiped the stains on Zhao Mengrui's embroidered shoes.

This scene caused Zhao Guanzhou and Fu Gongzi to come over and smack their lips again and again.

Walking to a place where Yue and Zhao couldn't be seen, Yu Mingzhi leaned on Qin Ji's arm coquettishly, "Don't be angry, it's not a big deal." ”

Qin Ji blinked, the cold light in his eyes had already disappeared, and said with a smile: "I won't be angry for such people, it's just that the good season appears in front of me, and it's very eye-catching." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled and pointed to a marquee above his head, "Go and guess this, I like this lamp!"

Qin Ji immediately responded: "Okay!" (To be continued.) )
