Chapter 12: Encounter

The next day, Qin Yue went to greet the old lady early.

It just so happened that the Jiang family was also there, and she saw the dark circles in the corners of her daughter's eyes at a glance, and she was so distressed that she quickly pulled her into her arms and gently rubbed the corners of her daughter's eyes.

Of course, Qin Yue wouldn't say anything about the young man in brocade, so he made up a reason to prevaricate at will.

After sitting for a while, Qi brought his good sister over, and the maid behind him was holding a lot of food, thinking that Qi should have personally honored the old lady.

Qi took the good sister and saluted the old lady in a proper manner.

The old lady smiled and rewarded her good sister with a string of coral bracelets.

Not long after, the people in the long room and the second room also arrived one after another, and even the Su family came down to Jingyi Courtyard with the support of the maid.

For a while, Jingyi Courtyard was very lively.

The adults accompanied the old lady to eat tea and gossip in the warm pavilion.

The children were playing rope flipping in the yard.

Without the fourth young lady Qin Yuan stirring up in the middle, several cousins got along very happily.

Especially the three-year-old good sister, it was the first time to play with her sisters, and she was very excited.

Qin Yue accompanied the sisters to play, but she noticed that the lobby sister Qin Yu seemed to be a little absent-minded, and from time to time she glanced at the movements in the warm pavilion.

Qin Yue listened carefully, and the words of the eldest aunt in the warm pavilion came clearly, "A few days will be the birthday of my third uncle, and my daughter-in-law wants to take Sister Yu and Sister Wan to live together for a few days, and I hope my mother will help take care of the affairs in the house!"

The old lady let out an "oh", "The third child of the Duan family, well, I don't think so, he is almost forty years old." ā€

The Duan family hurriedly replied: "Isn't it? The third uncle's health has always been bad, thanks to the third aunt's manipulation inside and out over the years, the partial birth of the younger brother has been dragging and refusing to marry, and there is not even a person in the house to help him." ā€

The Duan family is the eldest among the sisters, and they all regard themselves as the eldest sisters. Mother's business, a lot of help.

The Duan family's three rooms are thin, and the third aunt has no daughter-in-law to help them, and the Duan family has been in charge of the Qin family for many years, so she is naturally handy in taking care of these things.

With her help in the third room, things are much easier.

The old lady agreed without much thought, and let the Song family temporarily manage the middle feed in the mansion for the past few days.

Sister Yu next to her smiled secretly.

Ah Chen, he's so stupid!

Qin Yue's heart was sullen, thinking about the situation when he saw him in the suburbs that day, and a deep guilt unexpectedly welled up in his heart.

He had done so much for her, but she could do nothing for him, and she could not even say a word of comfort, because she was not qualified to do so.

Qin Yue no longer had the intention of playing, and silently walked under the begonia flowers to mourn for the past.

The concubines talked with the old lady for a while, and then came out of the warm pavilion one after another, and beckoned their children back to the room in the courtyard.

Qin Yue cleaned up her mood, walked to Jiang's side with a smile, and accompanied her back to Wenxin Courtyard, thinking about how to get to Duan Guogong's Mansion all the way.

She owed him a lot in her previous life, and although she couldn't repay it in this life, she still wanted to make up for it. Even if she can't be a lover/confidant, she has to follow the lobby sister and call him "third uncle". It would be even better if I could help him marry a third aunt.

Of course, Jiang didn't know what was going on in her daughter's mind, and she was thinking about something else in her heart at this time.

Speaking of which, I haven't been back to Wuling for several years, and I don't know how my family is doing. Every time my mother wrote a letter, she always reported good news and not bad news, for fear of causing her trouble.

However, she clearly understands in her heart that it is impossible for any family to be free from troubles. As the head mother of the Jiang family, how could my mother have an easy life? Not to mention anything else, none of the aunts in the family were fuel-efficient lamps.

Mother wants to be strong, and she always swallows bitter water in her stomach. She was so far away that she couldn't help anything. Perhaps, after the Dragon Boat Festival, take Sister Yue back to Wuling to live for a few days, I don't know if the old lady agrees......

The mother and daughter entered the gate of Wenxin Courtyard with their own thoughts.

Qin Sanye was sitting in the courtyard drinking porridge.

He rarely rested at home today, so he wanted to take his family out of the house to relax.

Qin Yue's eyes lit up, she quickly ran to her father's side, squatted down and leaned her neck and asked, "Where does Dad want to take us to play?"

Jiang pursed her lips and looked at her husband's gentle smile.

Qin Sanye put down the bowl, patted his daughter's head gently, and said with a smile: "Let's go wherever you want to play." ā€

Qin Yue blinked and looked at her mother on the side.

Jiang smiled, "Why don't we go to Dangui Fong?"

Tin Kwai Fong is indeed a fun place for adults and children. There are not only unique tea shops and wine shops, but also children's paradise suitable for children to play. On the side is the famous Dangui Lake, there are exquisite painting boats on the lake for many years, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music is endless, many visitors like to chant poems and paint here, it can be regarded as a scene of the imperial capital.

Jiang's mention of yƬ is exactly what Qin Yue wants.

I still remember my acquaintance with Duan Sangongzi many years ago, in Cuiwei Garden in Danguifang. At that time, it was still the Shenguang period, and the Empress Dowager Zhang and the regent controlled the government. Qin Yue disguised herself as a man, and was talking with a group of scholars, criticizing the regent for being a traitor and a dowager for Si Chen.

Although Duan Sanzi came from a powerful family, he was also very dissatisfied with the current situation, and quickly became friends under the same hatred of each other. Since then, he has supported Jinshang, who was still King Xuan all the way, until he ascended the throne in Shun LƬ.

Qin Yue is still confused, whether the cup of poisonous wine she drank back then was drunk by mistake or was it intentional......

Without allowing her to think about it, Jiang urged her to go back to her room and change her clothes.

Qin Sanye went to the outer courtyard to prepare for the trip, and after explaining to Mama Wu and Qing Ying, the Jiang family also went back to his room to change clothes and makeup.

It's rare to go out with your husband, so you naturally have to dress up beautifully.

After a while, the mother and daughter packed up and took the maid and the mother-in-law to the second gate, and Qin Sanye had already prepared a carriage and waited there.

Qin Yue helped her mother into the carriage, Qin Sanye rode a horse to accompany her, Yahuan's mother-in-law got into the carriage behind, and there were several guards behind the carriage, and the family went out of the house happily.

Along the way, Qin Yue lifted the curtain from time to time to look outside.

Jiang was nagging on the side and counting that she didn't look like a "big lady", and Qin Yue smiled and retorted.

The carriage suddenly stopped at one place, Qin Yue's face also became dark and uncertain in an instant, and his right hand lowered the curtain with a "swish".

Jiang heard her husband's voice outside, "Where are you going?"

Immediately, another gentle voice sounded, "I made an appointment with a few friends to get together in Tin Kwai Fong, do you want to go with Cousin Yizhi?"

"Yizhi" is the word for father, and it is usually only called by close friends.

That person Qin Yue is very familiar with, it is Xiao Qian, the prince of Xiao Guogong's mansion, one of the four sons of the capital back then, "Baoluo Gongzi", and Shen Jin have brotherly righteousness.

He is now not only the prince of the Xiao Mansion, but also the most trusted leader of the Dragon Guard by Emperor Wan Xuan's side.

The Dragon Guards were in charge of the safety of the palace, and there were about 30,000 people, each of whom was in charge of three commanders, and directly obeyed the emperor. Therefore, he was not the most trusted person of Emperor Wan Xuan, and he did not dare to hand over this position to him.
