For many merchants in Jinling, one day they can get to know the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang, which is also a thing worth showing off, and it is even more enviable to be able to get to the relationship with the royal family.

Although the Qin family is not directly related to the royal family, the name of the white prince should not be underestimated, and it is also a very glorious thing for him to enter the white palace as a side concubine.

But Qin Manqiu has hated this matter since she was a child, she and the cousin of the side concubine have not made much friends, the age difference between the two is much, her cousin was married a long time ago when she was sensible, but the family always likes to compare this matter, so Qin Manqiu is very unhappy, according to her words, the side concubine is also a concubine, but it is a concubine who said that she went out, the prince in the Baiwang Mansion is alive, and the prince is early, what can be so strange.

And what Qin Manqiu is most unaccustomed to is that this cousin is still a restless master, since she gave birth to the third young master of Baiwangfu, she always wants to have a good reputation, but she has a face that is alluring, nothing else, it doesn't matter, she still wants to charge anything, and if she can't do it, she will write back to ask the Qin family for help.

It just so happened that Qin Manqiu had a unique job, and her embroidery was still famous as Jinling said, so she became the person who took this list the most, in Chu Yiyao's impression, this Qianqiu picture should be the fourth time.

"Isn't it the old princess this time?" Chu Yiyao smiled and shook her head, what is the use of her being so disdainful, the Qin family can be a treasure for the concubine of the White Palace, who gave birth to a son.

"If that's the case, it's a shame, it's okay, then the Qianqiu picture is going to be sent to the palace to celebrate his birthday, hey, do you think that this woman who gave birth to a child doesn't think well." Qin Manqiu turned around and asked, "Uncle and Uncle are still happy, I'm almost sad." ”

This time, even Chu Yiyao was a little stunned, and sent to the palace? Unless the white prince does not bring the side concubine into the palace, in case the master in the palace has a whim, let her show it on the spot, wouldn't it be directly exposed.

"Sister Yiyao, what are you talking about?" Chu Yiyao was about to comfort a few words, when Chu Miaolan's voice came from behind her, and the two sisters sat there, indeed looking bored.

Qin Manqiu put away the complaining look just now, and pointed to the river bank not far away, "I'll go to the Lake Pavilion soon, the scenery is very beautiful, let's go down and sit down for a while." ”

Chu Miaolan nodded, looked up not far away, there were already many boats docked in the pavilion in the lake, including the Cao family's boats, Chu Yiyao happened to see the expectation on her face from this angle, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch, sure enough, the boat couldn't accommodate the big Buddha, and she couldn't wait to go down for such a short time.

The location of the pavilion in the lake is very peculiar, it was originally a long crescent river, to that position divided the road, in the middle is the pavilion in the lake, the water of the crescent river bypassed the pavilion in the lake and then gathered together, from the top down, that is, the island located in the middle of the river, five years ago when the imperial concubine got off the boat and stayed on this island for half an hour, she left soon after the island built countless pavilion rockery, and several attics, looking at the past from afar, it is like a garden without walls.

The Qin family's boat quickly approached, because they were not familiar with this, Chu Miaolan and the others just followed Chu Yiyao and walked slowly, there were already people in these attics, Qin Manqiu took them to a pavilion with a good view, and pointed to the river bank where the pavilion in the lake passed, "Later, we will set off there, and when we get to the dock, it will be the Nantang Market, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, go to my family's restaurant for a meal, and then we will go back." ”

The accompanying maid quickly brought up some fruit points, plus the utensils for making tea, and scattered them filled a table, but Chu Miaofei on the side looked a little surprised, "There are so many things to bring on a trip." ”

"That's not too much." Qin Manqiu, who had recovered his mood, pursed his lips and smiled, and pointed to Chu Yiyao, who was sitting there watching the scenery, "You don't know yet, this is the many." ”

Chu Miaofei pursed her lips slightly, "It's really a waste, Huizhou is not so troublesome, you can make something convenient in the kitchen." ”

Qin Manqiu smiled, and didn't explain much about her words, let alone her, it was Yiyao, every time she came out, she brought all the things, which lady in Jinling would do something convenient to take out, she would rather bring all the people and things, and eat whatever she wanted.

"That's Huizhou, and this is Jinling." Chu Yiyao turned around and lazily explained, Chu Miaofei couldn't stand it the most, and said disdainfully, "None of the official ladies in Luoyang are like this, this is not a show." ”

"You're right in this sentence, but if the whole of Jinling is like this, it's not a show." Chu Yiyao is not annoyed, she is richer than luxury, and Jinling can be ranked first.

Luoyang's official lady is indeed not like this, only those with a solid family background can fight like this, and here in Jinling, a young lady from a family who lives like Chu Yiyao can reach in Luoyang City.

This can still be traced back to a long time, the past merchants in the Liao country has no status at all, and Jinling is just a barren land, and later the development of HNA, the annual payment of a large number of tribute taxes by merchants, gradually made the royal family aware of the importance of these people, not long after, this group of Luoyang people in the eyes of the most poor businessmen, like overnight mushrooms, took root in Jinling and developed.

The speed of Jinling's development is breathtaking, and some of the big families who developed earlier began to want to deal with the officials, and the most direct way was to marry, but this seems to be disliked by those who read, which is obviously a group of nouveau riche who are full of culture there.

This doesn't matter, it doesn't work congenitally, and the day after tomorrow makes up for it, since then, the young masters and ladies who came out of Jinling City have received education and enjoyed according to the upper-class families of Luoyang City, and the lives of ordinary officials and ladies in Luoyang City cannot be compared with them at all.

"Come on, you're a princess selling melons." Qin Manqiu unceremoniously stuffed a fruit into Chu Yiyao's mouth, and greeted Chu Yifei and them with a smile, "Jinling is naturally different from Luoyang, and there are always fewer people who take the imperial court than us, so you come here like this and go back for a few days, so you are naturally not used to it." ”

"Then Sister Manqiu will tell us more about this Jinling, maybe we will live in Jinling forever." Chu Miaolan immediately fell to Qin Manqiu's side, and held her hand affectionately, "If something is wrong, it will be a joke." ”

"Didn't you come to the Chu family as a guest, and you still want to stay for a long time?" Qin Manqiu withdrew her hand quietly, she didn't want to get used to such a sudden enthusiasm, so she simply stood up and went to the edge of the pavilion, as if surprised, "If you want to live for a long time, you have to buy a house quickly, after all, it is inconvenient to live together." ”

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Chu Miaolan's face, and then she also stood up and walked to Chu Yiyao's side, "It depends on Daddy's plan." ”

"Miss Qin, where is that?" Chu Miaoluo, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, stretched out her hand and pointed to a three-story attic located in the south direction of the Lake Pavilion, surrounded by shade, only revealing the top of the third floor, which was higher than any attic on the island, but no one had passed.

"It was originally just the only small pavilion on the island, after the imperial concubine came five years ago, this attic was renovated, and the plaque on the attic is still written by the imperial concubine herself, Miss Chu wants to go over to see it, the view in the attic is also good." Qin Manqiu answered, and Chu Miaoluo nodded, "Then trouble Miss Qin to lead the way." ”

"Magpie, you bring the three young ladies over first, and I'll come later." Qin Manqiu motioned for the maid to take them over first, leaving two of them down in the pavilion, and seeing that they were far away, he pulled up Chu Yiyao and said, "I think I have to make a face for you, and you're not afraid that they will sue your second uncle and say that you don't treat them well?" ”

"I'm not going to treat them well." Chu Yiyao looked at the three backs with a smile, her eyes were a little confused, and she muttered, "I gave everything that should be given, and I also gave what shouldn't be given?" ”

"Don't talk about suing the second uncle, I'm afraid they won't mention it in front of the second uncle." In the blink of an eye, Chu Yiyao looked back at her with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.

Qin Manqiu smiled and pinched her, she was four years older than Chu Yiyao, the two of them knew each other when they were very young, Chu Yiyao's coquettishness and unreasonableness were very clear to several acquaintances, but in the past six months, in Qin Manqiu's eyes, this little sister who only knew arrogance in the past has grown up a lot.

"Your second uncle doesn't care about them?" The two of them walked behind, and Qin Manqiu glanced at the three sisters, who were soft and weak.

"It hurts, why doesn't it hurt, but I didn't bully them, I don't know my temper, who in the Chu family doesn't know." If she Chu Yiyao treats them badly, they can still cry a little, just in terms of words, who in the entire Chu family doesn't know that the eldest lady is not easy to mess with, and use these things to annoy the second uncle, it will definitely not be her Chu Yiyao who will be educated at that time, the temper of the second uncle, the second aunt and the three cousins know much better than her.

"You, just have a hard mouth, see how you get along with Young Master Cheng in the future." Qin Manqiu poked her forehead, Chu Yiyao's expression changed suddenly, Qin Manqiu thought that she had been angry for so long Cheng Shaopeng didn't come to her, and was about to say something to comfort her for a long time, when a shout came from behind her, "Sister Yiyao, I found you." ”

A petite figure trotted towards her, followed by two maids, the little girl ran in front of her, still panting, looking at Chu Yiyao with a blushing face, reaching out and hugging her, and said aggrievedly, "Sister Yiyao, why don't you come to my house." ”

"Xiao Yilin, what about your brother." Qin Manqiu pulled the little figure out of Chu Yiyao's arms, the little girl patted her head and shouted, "Oh, it's all because I have a bad memory, Sister Yiyao, don't be angry with your brother, brother, brother, he went to Luoyang, he has been there for half a year, that's why he didn't come to the Chu family to look for you, you look at me, I forgot about it." Cheng Yilin pouted pitifully, Chu Yiyao touched her head and smiled, "It's not in the way, it's too late to say it now." ”

"But my brother is coming back soon, and if he knew that I hadn't told you for so long, he would definitely say about me." Cheng Yilin took Chu Yiyao's hand and said coquettishly, "Good sister-in-law, don't tell my brother." ”

"Xiao Yilin, sister-in-law can't shout nonsense, your sister Yiyao hasn't married into the Cheng family yet, it's not good for people to hear." Qin Manqiu pulled her over and over again and whispered, this private joke doesn't matter, there are many people who come and go, so that people who are interested in it can't be passed on, the two families are also doll relatives, and they are not officially hired, and they don't count until that day.

Chu Yiyao didn't open her mouth with a smile on the corner of her mouth, whether she kissed or not, they knew in their hearts that it had been half a year, did the eldest young master of the Cheng family go to Luoyang and still need a little girl to tell herself, in the end, they felt that the Chu family had no backbone, and the two families, who were originally closer than the Qin family, could avoid it quickly, for fear that she Chu Yiyao would use this marriage contract to find the old lady of the Cheng family.

In her previous life, she was looking forward to it, hoping that this Cheng family brother could wait for her for a few more years, and when she grew up, they could be together, but as a result, there was a lobby sister in front of her, wearing the wedding dress prepared for her by her mother, and directly married Cheng Shaopeng, who had a marriage contract with her for more than ten years.
