I can only flick my hand and wave it away impatiently

"She took the initiative to get close to me, she's just a maid, what's there to like or dislike-!"

As soon as his voice fell, Qin Mo looked at the maid again, but when he saw the red warbler, he was stunned.

His lips squirmed, and when he raised his eyes again, the crimson circles that had shed tears turned his head as if there was a complaining plot.

Qin Mo took in all the qiē, but always pretended to be indifferent.

Let's see how this one will be played next.

The red warbler didn't speak, just turned her head, and stared at Qin Rui not far away with teary eyes, who originally figured out that Guò lowered his head and pretended to take care of his cuffs and then dodged.

I can't say why, he is still a little afraid of Qin Mo.

But I didn't want the red warbler to be kneeling under the bed all the time, and his eyes were frequently on him, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time.

In the end, Qin Rui seemed to be stared at, so he could only turn his head, and his face was slightly sullen.

Then he came over to Qin Mo.

"Eldest sister, I also know that now in Beijing, without you, I will have no one to take care of, this red warbler I want to marry, accept as a person in the room, but my father and mother are there, but I need someone to say it-!"

Qin Mo looked at Qin Rui, then at the red warbler on the ground, and dragged the tea cup on the table for a moment and then put it down

Her tone was brisk, and there didn't seem to be any displeasure on her face

"Aunt and uncle, I'll say it's no problem, but if this matter is agreed, my brother has ever thought about what position he wants to give this red warbler, whether it is a wife or a concubine-!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Qin Mo looked at Qin Rui, and the red warbler raised her head to see that Qin Mo finally turned her head to look at Qin Rui.

"Young master, the slave's body and mind are all given to you, when you told the slave and maid that you wanted to marry the slave and maid as the main room-!"

That Qin Rui stayed in place for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, twisted his eyebrows, and looked like he had a difficult choice.

"Concubine, just be a concubine, the concubine is very good-!"

The red warbler, as soon as she heard that she was a concubine, the whole person seemed to be shocked, and knelt on the ground and knelt down in front of Qin Rui step by step, and squeezed Qin Rui's sleeve tightly.

"Young master, you obviously said that you would marry me as a lady, but now how has it changed-!"

When the red warbler summoned her to Qin Mo just now, the expression in front of Qin Mo was not as vivid and vivid as it is now.

That Qin Rui was also annoyed by being forced again and again, and immediately stroked the hand of the red warbler, looking affectionate

"You're endless, and letting you be a concubine is also lifting you-!"

The red warbler did not give up, knelt down step by step, and cried step by step, "But you didn't say that at the beginning--!" ”

That Qin Mo glanced at Qin Rui beside him, and saw that Qin Rui was also frowning at her.

Qin Mo casually picked up tea from the low table on his elbow.

*

In the end, this red warbler became the person in Qin Rui's room and was accepted as a concubine, although at first he knew that he could only be a concubine, and the red warbler was just crying, and later, it was estimated that it would go for a while, and the two of them were affectionate and loving in private, so the red warbler no longer cared about these things.

Women, most women are always stupid, take men's words seriously, they must eat enough to know how to be obedient, and once some things are wrong, you can turn back, a woman, especially at the moment, a man will be wrong for a lifetime.

That Qin Rui married a concubine and still lived in the East Chamber, and Qin Mo didn't have the energy to buy another garden for him now, and it just so happened that the courtyard in the East Chambers was also large, enough for these people to live.

After the red warbler was accepted into the room by Qin Rui, it was Qin Mo's nominal sister-in-law, Qin Mo was also very good to her, five taels of silver per month, and gave a girl to wait, in the end, it was a family, and Qin Mo did not divide it inside and out.

*

The next day after the incident, it happened to be the fifth day, Qin Mo went to a pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing as promised, called the Wanhua Pavilion, next to the place outside the moat, where people have been inaccessible for many years, the river beach is full of duckweed, and it happens to be this May, and the grass is green.

This pavilion is surrounded by wild flowers, there is an official road not far away, but few people pass by there, this Wanhua Pavilion was originally a place to enjoy the scenery, but the water level of this moat comes up every spring and summer every year, and the pavilion on the river bank is flooded.

As a result, fewer and fewer people come here to enjoy the view.

The gazebo is about to be abandoned.

And this Qin Zhun chose such a place to meet, just because he didn't want people to know, so as not to make a noise.

Qin Mo only brought a coachman and came alone, and at the end of the pavilion, there was already an ebony plum blossom lattice carriage parked there.

From the outside, you can see the crimson brocade curtain in the carriage.

That Changyuan Marquis was wearing a brown bat-patterned robe, a black brocade undershirt, and his hair was tied up high by a golden crown.

is tall and hiatous, and it is not difficult to see that when he was young, he was indeed a man with both temperament and appearance.

"You didn't bring Xiangxiang today!"

In the gazebo, tea, snacks, and even incense were placed on the table on one side.

Qin Mo sat still, smelling the sweet aroma in his nose, and facing the gentle spring breeze, looking at the surface of the moat on the right, the sound of flowing water.

It's not a treat.

Qin Mo heard Qin Zhun mention Xiangxiang, she first took two breaths of good air, and then her fingers buckled the table top of the stone table for a while.

"Xiangxiang is still a child in the end, and she has always been used to saving without a father, but now she suddenly put such a real living father in front of her, at a young age, I am afraid that she will not be able to accept it at once, come again, these years, you have no nurturing grace for me and Xiangxiang, we hate you in our hearts, hate you, and say that you are cold, so I don't know if Xiangxiang is willing to see you, I don't want to because she now knows that she still has a father, and about her father's current injury, moreover, I really want to know what you have done over the years, and I also want to know why you left our mother and daughter, and how you walked into the Hou Mansion step by step, and did the step of Hou Ye.! ”

"Perhaps, when you were full of glory, you should have thought that you still have two daughters who are cold and hungry, and a wife who is dying at home waiting for your return-!"

After hearing this, for a moment, I only heard a melancholy sigh, a long sigh, "Alas! ”

Then the marquis stood up, just stood up, walked to the side of the porch, and looked at the rushing muddy water in the moat, where the pestle was, with his hands behind his back, standing by the river.

"I knew that there was a beginning, I would have thought that there is today, today, you and Xiangxiang, whether they hate me or hate me, I can accept it, it doesn't matter, because, in the first place, I can't live with you, I can't live with you-!"

The marquis turned around, and after a moment, he sat back on the stone bench.

"Wind and rain, how many years, how many springs and autumns have passed, so long, I don't remember how long...!"

"-I don't want to recall the past, recall the fact that I used to be in that place in Chishui Village, I admit it, I am cowardly, I dare not face up to my past, but if I had to choose again, if I could have today, I would still not go back-!"

Qin Mo carried the pot, poured himself tea carelessly, and said casually, "Do you dare not face the mistake of abandoning your wife and daughter, or the middle-aged memories of your not good childhood that Chishui Village gave you, so you try your best to cover it up and don't want to mention it again!" ”

That Qin Zhun sighed, "It's all there!" ”

"I was originally a selfish person, I abandoned my wife and daughter, I was greedy for money and power, climbing the dragon and the phoenix, no matter how many people scolded me, I still won't back down, I just want to get what I want-!"

Qin Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down, "So now do you get it!" ”

The burning eyes immediately moved over, cold and even more threatening.

"I've got, I seem to have gotten it all, but, over the years, life has always been muddy, I don't know what I live for, what I live for-!"

Qin Mo sneered, "Don't you still have a daughter, born with this county lord, and it has a bit of royal blood, how glorious-!" ”

Qin Mo's sarcasm is so obvious, it's strange that you can't hear it.

Then I only heard the Changyuan Hou sigh again.

"But, in the end, I'm sorry for your mother and daughter, I'm sorry for Suqun, I'm sorry for you and Xiangxiang, I didn't fulfill my duties as a father, and I'm not a good husband-!"

Qin Mo said in a faint tone: "Of course you're not-!" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that your youngest daughter was too similar to Xiangxiang, so she was first seen by the eldest sister of the county lord of Huai'an, and then Xiangxiang went to go on a trip with the royal family, and happened to meet the daughter of the county lord of Huaihe, the mother and daughter and told her sister, aunt, and the county lord of Huai'an, and then the county lord of Huai'an was also curious, and asked Xiangxiang everywhere, and finally intended to marry Xiangxiang to his son to sit as a wife-!"

"It can be seen that this is the sin you suffered at the beginning, so, there is retribution for sin, so, no matter how you turn around, you will find the door after all, this is the catastrophe you have in your life, and you can't hide it-!"

That Qin Zhun took a sip of the tea in the teacup in front of him, as if sighing

"Yes, sooner or later, the sins created will have to be repaid, you can't hide from it, there is a providence in the dark, I just want me to be far away in the capital, and I entered the Hou Mansion, I never dreamed that you could come to the capital after all, and I also climbed the relationship and entered the Hou Mansion-!"

"I heard that you are in the limelight in Yanguo now, especially by the emperor's authority, your daughter's family, I really didn't know you could have such a ability-!"

Qin Mo was generally interested in this matter, she was tired of hearing this kind of talk.

It's just that she is a woman, how can she climb to that high position.

She is a woman, but the things in this world are only man-made.

It is an old proverb that people make things happen in heaven.

"Before my grandmother died, she mentioned my father's appearance to me, saying that my father had an obvious mole at the end of his right eye, in fact, I don't know, I don't remember my father's appearance for a long time, that is Xiangxiang has not been born yet, and is still in my mother's womb, I am only more than four years old, I can't remember my father's appearance at all, but that night, at the banquet, from such a distance, I clearly saw a mole at the end of the man's eyebrows that was not far away, so clear, the memory that suddenly came out of my mind, I thought it was in my subconscious, Those memories have long been sealed, but I don't want to, at that moment, I remembered the young face when I was leaving, that was my father-! ”

After saying a few words, Qin Zhun was full of tears, and his tears seemed to be falling

"Son, in the end, the father can't live with you, can't stand you and Xiangxiang-! I'm sorry for your mother. ”

"Your mother asked someone to bring me a message, just when Xiangxiang was born, I was still in Suizhou, not far away, but later, after the big flood, I lost everything-!"

When I think of those tragic years, the penniless, knowing that there are still babies waiting to be fed at home, and a five-year-old daughter and a wife, are all looking forward to themselves, waiting for themselves to feed, Chishui Village, where natural disasters continue, how to survive the frail poor wife with a pair of young children.

At that time, that self-blame and guilt made him resolutely choose not to look back.

"Then I really want to know how my father got to the capital, and how he sat in today's position step by step!"

"That year, I followed the flow of refugees, eating grass roots, drinking dirty water, and giving alms to people along the way, so I traveled for several months on the road, and finally I arrived in the capital. When I was a child, I only heard others mention the capital, saying how good it is, when I got there, I knew that what people said was true, the capital is more prosperous than other places, bigger, clothes, wear, and our small county people, that is not comparable, at that time, I arrived in the capital, I was very proud, very proud, and at that time, I immediately swore under the city wall, this body I Qin Zhun must be famous in the capital, where is the power, there is status, it is not as good as in the capital, at that time, I pressed the determination, You must mix up some eyebrows in the capital, and then take the money back-! ”

"But I didn't study, I didn't get through the guò scientific examination to become an official, and I couldn't find a decent job, and there were many people in the capital, so it was not easy to survive - I went to the most famous restaurant in the capital at that time, and I worked as a runner in the Xida Restaurant. Later, he was looked down upon by a large family and sent to various prefectures to deliver food every day! ”

"It was then that I met the current lady, this county lord, the county lord of Huai'an-!"

"At that time, I was still working as a runner in the restaurant, but there were not many domestic servants in the restaurant, and the old shopkeeper kept accounts every day, and was very busy, so he occasionally taught me to read and write, and the most important thing was that I could calculate the accounts, and when the guests checked out, I could calculate it in my mouth! From being able to calculate, to looking at the old shopkeeper every day, and then I wrote it myself, I started to learn numbers, and then took the account book to see, the restaurant owner often did not go to the counter, the old shopkeeper saw that I was diligent, liked me, sometimes not only showed me the words on the account book, but also taught me to write another. Where, I've learned a lot! ”

"It is also the place where I first became literate, and later, I was assigned to the Hou Mansion, and I had to send food to the Hou Mansion every three or five days, at that time, the Marquis of Zhongshun was appointed by the emperor to go out to fight, leaving only the county lord in the mansion, all day long, the days are boring, the young woman, there are many lonely days that are difficult to pass, the ancestors of the Hou Mansion are full of achievements, otherwise, they will not get the emperor so important, and give the county lord to him as a wife, the kitchen of the Hou Mansion is in the backyard, just through the corridor of the main house, Many times I have seen the county lord under a cherry tree in that mansion, in a daze! ”

"Although I am not a woman, but I can keenly perceive the things on a woman, I know that she is sometimes sad, thinking about her husband, and will be lonely, but, for the huge Hou Mansion, I am just a subordinate, and the humble can no longer be a humble subordinate, maybe my outstanding appearance will make me different in the eyes of some people——"

"I deliberately approached the housekeeper's grandmother, the mouth can speak, the grandmother likes me very much, and I am arrogant and arrogant when I enter the mansion on weekdays, and I have come and gone many times, one day, the county lord really noticed me, I was originally close to the county lord's purpose, because I knew that she was the royal family, for our subordinates, there is no opportunity to be an official and make a fortune faster than approaching a person who is related to the imperial court, I approached her, said something funny to make her happy, just hope that in the end I can find a position in charge of the house, and the house is goodIn order to please her, I went to a scholar next door every day, learned from him, learned to read poetry, recited words, and was elegant, those who came to learn from him, but I didn't know that this woman was stupid, and I believed it, I said to her, I was a showman, a scholar at home, and the flood at home flooded my hometown, and my parents died. I went north to make a living, she believed it, and she took pity on me, plus I always talked to her to find the point where she felt happy, and over time, she relied on me very much, and relied on me to the point of being inseparable-! ”

Later, her son knew, so we were not allowed to go back and forth, but, she is a mother, when the son can be stronger than the mother, the son of her words she didn't care, in front of outsiders, she called me son, not to a subordinate, but also God help me, later, the loyal Shun Marquis front line is unfavorable, in the valley area summoned the enemy ambush, and died tragically, this county lord, even I don't know, I don't know that later she was infatuated with me so much, almost what I said, she listened, all believed, later, she ignored the opposition of everyone in the house, insisted on marrying me, at that time, there were many opponents, but she was the county lord, and if she really wanted to be tough, no one could suppress her.

And I, others object, I don't care at all, I only know, if she really wants to marry me, I will definitely marry, why, she is the county lord, marry her I will be able to soar Huang Tengda, even if the court does not give me an official, then I am also a county horse, carp leaping dragon gate I can fly Huang Tengda, when I know that the county is going to marry me, and insist on going my own way, the people around her are anxious, but I am happy, at that time I kept adding weight to her in her ear, she was like I poured ** soup. ”

"Later, she still married me, as I expected, only two months, the emperor named me the Hou Ye, and also gave me the title of Changyuan, just to give his two nieces a light on their faces, but also to her ex-husband, so, I soared into the sky, overnight, there was everything, the house was in pairs, there were groups of wives and concubines, and there were piles of servants, and I became a Hou Ye under one person and above thousands of people-!"

"Hahaha. Isn't it very capable to be a father? "I thought about it again, just during this time, Qin Min also bought a house in the capital, and the emperor first gave him the position of a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, and now he has become a waiter, and he shows his face a lot in front of the emperor.

I might even be able to get a bachelor's degree in the future.

He doesn't need to spend it himself.
