Chapter 229: Hospitality

"Today, the son of the world also came out-!"

The county lord immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile

"Come out, but no, I met him downstairs just now, and I went to talk, wait, I'll come over immediately-!"

The county lord said, and then pulled Xiangxiang up his sleeve and looked at it, and asked how old he was and what books he had read at home.

Xiangxiang also answered them one by one.

After following Qin Mo into Beijing for so many days, he is also familiar with various etiquettes in Beijing, and it just so happens that Xiangxiang is a person who knows how to be polite in front of outsiders, and then asks and answers, and sits with his hands and salutes respectfully as soon as he answers.

The cute, well-behaved, quiet and sensible appearance made the princess laugh all the time, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with Xiangxiang.

It just so happened that this Qin Mo came out today, and it was good to wear it on Xiangxiang's body, which was a narrow jacket embroidered with colorful auspicious clouds, covered with a green single-row silver mouse gown, and a red bat dark satin skirt, and a cloak of cloud goose fine brocade was hung on her body, and the youngest daughter's complexion was very delicate, so it did look the same as the dress of the young lady of the family.

"The national teacher, at a young age, was given the national teacher by His Majesty, and was loved by the people of this Yan country, which can be described as remarkable, but I don't know where the parents are, the second girl is engaged, I think, the marriage of this daughter's family, in the end, I still have to ask the parents, so I asked."

After listening to this, Qin Mo calmed down, put his hand on his lap, took a breath softly, and said, "We have no relatives since we were children, my mother has no holidays, I have been a father and a mother since I was a child, and I have been a father and a mother to pull the little girl up, and now, in this family, her marriage is only worried about by me, the eldest sister-!" ”

This county lord is a woman in the end, and he is a little compassionate, and when he heard that this family has no parents since childhood, he didn't show disgust, but he took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears for a moment.

"It's still a child who has no father or mother since he was a child, it's pitiful, in the future, if you marry into your mother-in-law's family, just ask your mother-in-law to hurt more, I think this child is very well-behaved, if the national teacher doesn't dislike it, let's talk about it here today, this means, the national teacher knows-!"

As soon as Qin Mo heard this, he picked up the handkerchief, waved the handkerchief and smiled, "I understand what the princess means, in fact, we were originally born in the poor family, and our ancestors are all white ding, and it is a blessing that Qin Mozu's ancestors have cultivated for several generations to be able to climb such relatives in the lady's mansion, but, first, in the end, my sister is still young, only fourteen this year, and she has not yet reached the second floor, on the second floor, in our family, the parents have always been open-minded, and the children's affairs have to depend on themselves, madam, do you think, it's okay for me to say this-!" ”

Qin Mo only said these two words, and the county lord looked condensed, and after a while, his face was slightly worried

"What the national teacher said is right, this marriage event, although it is said that the parents are in charge, then we know it in our hearts, and we have to see what the children mean, it just so happens that Jin'er is here today, just right, let the two of them meet, and then let's inquire in their own private to hear what they mean-!"

Qin Mo smiled, "Madam is wise, it's this reason!" ”

Then the county lord smiled and said, "The classmate he saw is the son of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the national teacher also knows that the young man of the capital is ambitious, and Jin'er knows these people, which is naturally good for his future career-!" ”

Qin Mo laughed beside him, and the smile was a little reluctant, "Who said it wasn't-!" ”

As soon as Qin Mo's words fell, the county lord of Huai'an took the handkerchief and smiled, his eyes only fell on Qin Mo, and there seemed to be a trace of surprise: "What do I think of the national teacher, although she is a girl, she is not very old, her demeanor is quite steady, and she is more romantic, but the person who is beautiful and beautiful, how much is the national teacher today, it should also be the age of marriage, but I don't know which one to look like, looking at the national teacher like this, this temperament, it must be unworthy of ordinary people, but it is a pity that the national teacher is so good-!" ”

Qin Mo laughed again: "Madame, it's a joke!" "Where is the vision, it's just that her own feelings, she herself is still a little confused.

The feelings I care about are always disappointing.

In this way, after those light years, people will grow old. 、

The person living in this body is a mature person, but Qin Mo himself knows that he occasionally has the temperament of a little daughter.

*、

is chatting and drinking tea, looking at the blue waves of the lake, what a spring scene, such water, such a day, such a song, just opposite the boat made by Qin Mo and them, another boat, exquisite workmanship, meticulously carved, red silk, silk flowers, dazzling, there are women singing in it. In the end, in the past life, in modern society, these things can't be seen.

In modern society, industrial pollution has changed the color of the water in the lake.

Just as Qin Mo was listening attentively to the song, listening to the good words written.

Just at the other end of the boat, docked on the shore, suddenly from the bow of the boat came a man, personable, almost middle and upper, hair tied up with a belt, wearing a white dress, with a jade belt tied tightly inside, covered with a white cardigan, at such a distance, you can see the man's own childishness between the eyebrows, it can be seen that he has not grown up, but he acts in an elegant style, this April day, with a folding fan in his hand.

When he approached, his eyebrows and eyes were distinct, and his facial features were neat and three-dimensional.

First impression, Qin Mo couldn't tell if this feeling was good or bad-

Seeing him approaching, the lady greeted him first, followed by an old man and a small servant, and the county lord first called the old man to be the housekeeper, and complained about how the child had been gone for so long.

When the man approached, he chose a place to sit and explained to his mother, saying that the classmate had been entangled for a long time and couldn't get out, so he came late.

The lady didn't blame much, but before the man sat down, she lifted his sleeve again, and brought him to Qin Mo, and smiled at Qin Mo and said to the young man, "This is the national teacher, have you heard, the implementation of agriculture in the whole country has increased our income from the grain of the country a lot, and the emperor is also important, it is the sister of the second girl of the Qin family you want to see today, the so-called eldest sister is like a mother, and the marriage of the second girl is her master, you call your sister first, and the right age is also appropriate-!" ”

The man raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Mo, Qin Mo didn't see the love in his eyes, maybe his mother next to him was too attentive and urgent, so he had to make a fuss to Qin Mo

"I've seen the National Teacher-!"

Qin Mo smiled gently, while pretending to help him up, "I have heard a lot of people talk about the prince of the Hou Mansion, and now I can finally see it, and it is really a person with a net worth and complete talents!" ”

Xiangxiang was a little timid when she saw a man suddenly coming, and her face also showed that she was not very happy.

Seeing that this man was tall and tall, he was half a head taller than her, and at a young age, he seemed to be ignorant, and he felt that Qin Mo's purpose for bringing her here today didn't seem to be very reassured. It's also a casual attitude.

When Qin Mo pulled her sleeve and asked her to go to this son's courtesy, he didn't want this girl who had always been noisy and not timid, so she hid behind Qin Mo for a long time today and didn't come out.

finally poked out half of his head to look at the man, but his eyes were full of fear and trepidation.

Qin Mo took advantage of no one to notice and pulled her out from behind.

I finally pushed her out.

gave the man a timid salute, and his demeanor always looked a little frightened.

When the county lord saw this scene, he didn't blame it, but felt that this girl was cute, and she recognized her life when she was so old.

It's not still a child's heart.

Then, Qin Mo had no choice but to laugh with him.

So, at last, the four of them saluted, and the next person served some dried fruits and refreshments, and ate them indiscriminately. Kill time.

"In the end, today is the children meeting, with us, the children can't talk well, you two are small, you can go and talk for a while, the lotus corner on the west side of the corridor is good, Yu Jin, you take the second miss of the Qin family out, just a little, don't bully others, don't look at people's small-!"

Qin Mo now knew that his full name was 'Li Yujin'.

It's just that when this Xiangxiang heard that she wanted her to go out alone to talk to this man, she just stood up in a hurry

"Sister-!"

"Sister, I'm not going-!"

Qin Mo got up and patted her on the back, grabbed some dried fruits and nuts on the table, and put them in her hands. He comforted again

"It's okay, Li Gongzi is so knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and everyone's son, he must be polite, you don't have to worry, don't you think the boat is upside down, you take these things, and go to feed the fish by the corridor, called Li Gongzi." Oh, no, this Li Gongzi is three years older than our Xiangxiang, or he will call his brother. Brother Yu Jin, what does Madame think! ”

Qin Mo was halfway through speaking, and then turned his head to look at Mrs. Changyuanhou.

The lady naturally has no objections, after all, now the relatives of the National Teacher's Mansion are not low.

"It's naturally better to call my brother, but it's not that I won't be so angry when I talk in the future-!"

Qin Mo turned his head and took Xiangxiang's hand lovingly, "You can just follow Brother Yu Jin and take a look around, maybe, he has seen more things than you, and he can teach you some new and interesting things-!" ”

Qin Mo said this, and Xiangxiang finally stopped making trouble.

When Li Gongzi heard Qin Mo say this, he looked at Xiangxiang again, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a kind of closeness and doting of a big brother.

"Li Gongzi, since you take Xiangxiang out to play, don't go to that crowded place, beware of getting lost, and don't take her to those remote and remote corners, the girl's family still has to clean herself and love herself, so as not to be gossiped about, just walk around, look at the fish, enjoy the flowers or something, my sister has been a treasure since she was a child, let her swim with the son today, naturally rest assured that the childe, and please help me take care of my sister-!"

Then Li Yujin saluted Qin Mo and said respectfully, "Master Guoshi, please rest assured, Xiaosheng will definitely take care of the second lady of the house!" ”

Qin Mo pushed Xiangxiang out with a push.

Then Li Gongzi was in front, and he really got off the boat with Xiangxiang.

Although Xiangxiang is now cowardly, only Qin Mo knows her character, and if she is familiar with it, people will go crazy.

This girl, no wonder she has been bothering herself.

Seeing the two big and one small getting out of the boat, the county lord looked at his son's back and seemed to sigh, and turned his head and said, "Son, in the end, just look at it like this, and find that he is gradually growing up, and he is about to start a family-!" ”

Later, seeing that Qin Mo was still beside him, he hurriedly took a handkerchief to hide his expression

"The courtiers sighed twice at will, so that the national teacher heard it and laughed-!"

Qin Mo knocked the melon seeds in his mouth, as if he didn't care, and smiled, "Where." Where. It is human nature to sigh with emotion, Mrs. saw the child grow up, and sighed in her heart, it can be seen that it is a mother's heart, Mrs. is emotional, delicate and delicate, it can be seen that it is true, Qin Mo can't reach it! ”

Hearing what Qin Mo said, the county lord smiled again, and there was a little bitterness in his smile.

"Today's fish, I asked the cook to make a few dishes, the fish in the capital, the one in the Wanhu Restaurant is a must, the national teacher has to taste it carefully today before leaving-!"

When Qin Mo heard this, he smiled and bowed.

After a long time, it was noon, and sure enough, it was Xiangxiang who jumped back, and took another look, but Li Gongzi was followed behind, coughing lightly, and Xiangxiang came to the front first, regardless of the fact that Mrs. Houmen was beside her, she began to be coquettish in Qin Mo's arms like a cow on the ground.

"Sister-!" As soon as he screamed, his head fell into Qin Mo's arms and rubbed in Qin Mo's arms.

Qin Mo caressed her face, smooth and delicate, and the color was also very healthy, and said angrily

"Where did you go, such a girl, she looks like a big girl, and she always runs to her sister's arms to be coquettish, and outsiders are still in front, and I'm not afraid of being seen and laughing-!"

Qin Mo smelled that there seemed to be a smell of honey on her body.

Half of that Xiangxiang's head rubbed in Qin Mo's arms, raised his head again, slanted at Li Gongzi, and saw that Li Yujin was beside him, as if looking at this side and laughing

The girl said coquettishly

"It's Brother Yu Jin who took me to eat the osmanthus honey cake, and the osmanthus honey cake sold by the boat is so delicious!"

Qin Mo smiled and said, "Yes, but the money paid by Brother Yu Jin, have you ever said thank you to others?" ”

"Thank you, needless to say, Brother Yu Jin said you're welcome-!"

Then Li Yujin laughed beside him.

I seem to like the appearance of Xiangxiang very much.

Seeing this, the county lord didn't say anything in the end, and he didn't show a heavy face because Xiangxiang was coquettish to himself.

just smiled happily, "The osmanthus honey cake of the boat next to the drum tower has opened again, if you want to say that this honey cake, in the end, this is delicious, the national teacher has not eaten it, this one sells an old man, but it is not sold every day, but it is only when you are lucky-!" ”

Qin Mo smiled, "I really haven't tasted it, but I'll try it when I have time!" ”

The lady strongly recommended it again, and extended some topics from this food.

Then it was noon, and the cooking skills of the chefs in the 10,000 restaurants were among the best, and they happened to make an appointment to eat at this restaurant today.

Lunch is naturally hearty, big fish and meat, this Hou family is not a moneyless household, so Qin Mo followed the lady to eat, rinse his mouth, and asked the housekeeper to arrange some singing songs to sing on the opposite floor, listen here, in the afternoon, the boat rowed again, looking at the beautiful scenery around the Ten Thousand Lakes.

After playing for a day, at dusk, Qin Mo said goodbye to Mrs. Houmen, said some goodbye words, and said some compliments, thanking him for today's hospitality.

Then, it was Xiangxiang who said goodbye to the lady and the son.

The two families took their own carriages, and then the coachman drove in their own directions and returned home...

*

Finally going home, Qin Mo had to be in the carriage on the road, so he quietly asked Xiangxiang about his impression of Li Gongzi.

Xiangxiang scratched her head, "I only think of him as an elder brother, he is very good to me, but he doesn't like it, I'd rather play with Brother Wenyu-!" ”

Qin Mo was silent, she knew that the Wenyu that Xiangxiang was talking about was Sima Wenyu.

"But Xiangxiang is still young, and she may not understand these things, and the current feeling may not be right, but you are my sister's sister, of course, my sister is important to you and respects your choice, whether it is now or in the future, but my sister also hopes that Xiangxiang will take this matter seriously, okay-!"

"But your attitude towards this matter can't be perfunctory, this is a major event for your life, then Li Gongzi you don't like it, let's not talk about this matter first, -!"

Listening to Qin Mo's words, Xiangxiang only felt nagging.

"Sister, I know, I know, how old am I, you just tell me this, you don't marry yourself, but you always worry about me, it's really annoying-!"

After listening to this, Qin Mo only felt funny and angry, this dead girl.

She didn't know she was worried.

*

Obviously, Qin Mo had already seen that although Xiangxiang had met with the son of the Changyuan Marquis Mansion, he didn't like it, he didn't like it, and Qin Mo couldn't say anything more.

I wanted this to be the end of the day.

But since then, the wife of the Changyuan Hou Mansion has been very affectionate, always sending people to greet her, and some of them have sent people to send some gifts to the mansion, Qin Mo sometimes feels that it is not good to accept it, and Qin Mo also vaguely inquired, saying that after the last meeting, the prince of the Hou Mansion family likes Xiangxiang.

The prince of Nahou Mansion has a good impression of Xiangxiang.

This was a surprise to Qin Mo.

Thinking that the son of the world is an adult, he can see his mature demeanor in his manners, and Xiangxiang is not a person from him.

Later, I thought that maybe I just thought that little Lori was simple and cute, so I liked it.

Maybe it's the kind of big brother who likes it.

The hospitality of Mrs. Changyuan Hou, but after that, it was constant, and I always felt that I had an obsession with the Qin family, I don't know why, aside from the matter of asking Xiangxiang to be my daughter-in-law, I always found time to ask Qin Mo to come out, saying that it was to play together, and I was invited again and again.

But thinking about Qin Mo's favored Cheng dΓΉ in front of the emperor, just looking at this, it's nothing.

But I always feel weird in my heart.

As soon as April passes, it is the beginning of May, and the time happens to be the eighteenth birthday of the son of the Li family in the house, eighteen is an even number, the county lord means to do a good job in the house, and invited a lot of dignitaries and nobles to enter the house, and the long source will also come out, Qin Mo naturally received the invitation, and the previous invitation Qin Mo used various excuses to shirk it, but this time, I always feel a little unreasonable if I don't go, this Huai'an county lord is the emperor's niece, and there are some forces in the court, others still think that you blindly take big and disrespect people.

So, a few days after receiving the invitation, Qin Mo was at home, thinking about it, and finally decided to take this trip.

These court relatives and nobles, if they are not offended, try not to offend

T
