In the twenty-sixth year of Hongde's Shangjing, the weather was particularly cold, and it was only November, but there were several heavy snowfalls, and I heard that the snow in some places in the suburbs was calf thick.

From south to north, Qin Ruwei's family moved to Beijing, at first there were many inconveniences, and the lack of adaptation to the water and soil was the most important reason, especially Mrs. Zhuang, she was an elderly person, and she felt a lot of discomfort as soon as she entered Beijing, but fortunately, Situ Fang's master had been following Qin Ruwei and them, and the symptoms were reduced a little, just waiting for the slow recuperation to get used to.

On the first day Qin Ruwei returned to Beijing, many people already knew about it, but they also knew that she was going to rest, and the acquaintances didn't bother to visit, but after three or four days, they received many greetings one after another.

Shangjing is not as good as Changping, although Qin Ruwei is the lord of the county, but her husband Zhuang Churan is now only a fifth-grade official.

Therefore, Qin Ruwei replied politely, and then walked around to visit when she was free.

In fact, she really doesn't have time to go anywhere, after all, the family moved here, and there is a lot of luggage, which always has to be gathered, and how to settle many subordinates, all of them have to be arranged properly, it's not good that nothing is sorted out properly, so go to someone else's house to walk around or invite someone to have tea, right?

When Qin Ruwei takes care of everything, and the mansion is operating normally, it is already late November, the weather is very cold, a basin of water is placed outside, and it will freeze into ice cubes in less than an hour.

The weather was cold, Qin Ruwei couldn't stand it, not to mention that she was dressed thickly, and she also dressed her two children tightly, for fear that one of them would get a wind chill if she didn't care.

It was in such a cold winter that she couldn't withstand Princess Ren's three urgings and invitations, so Qin Ruwei took her two children to visit.

Entering the flower hall where Princess Renren saw guests, the heat wave rushed over, Qin Ruwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to untie the cloak on her body with the help of the maid, and under the cloak, there was another big coat, and a long big sweater, Princess Ren was dumbfounded.

"You, how much clothes are you wearing?" She smiled and asked, "Is it so cold?" ”

"It's weirdly cold on this day, how can you go out if you don't wear tightly?" Qin Ruwei took off lightly before she stepped forward to salute, and the child beside her had already taken off her coat and saluted Princess Ren obediently.

And Princess Ren's Ruian County Lord also led Brother Nian and Brother Sheng, who was just over a year old, to give Qin Ruwei a gift.

"Come on, come on, I haven't seen Sister Yuan for some days, look at this girl, ouch, Brother Man is also growing." Princess Ren beckoned to Qin Ruwei's pair of children, and the two were not afraid of life, so they approached for a while, and Princess Ren had to give a generous meeting gift.

Qin Ruwei also pulled Ruian to look at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Rui'er is becoming more and more prominent." As she spoke, she was given a tourmaline bracelet as a greeting gift.

The lord of Ruian is also nine years old, and there is still a little baby fat on his face, but his eyebrows are gorgeous, and she is already a beauty embryo at a young age, and her identity is also gold and jade, a noble person who comes out of the real gold and jade pile, and her temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary official ladies.

Hearing Qin Ruwei's praise, she smiled shyly and said, "My aunt loves to make fun of people." ”

"She's still skinned, so I'm pretending to be in front of you!" Princess Nioh also said with a smile.

"Mother." Ryan stomped his foot in shame, making several people laugh.

Brother Nian was unwilling to be left out in the cold, so he simply climbed on Qin Ruwei's lap and said, "Auntie, do you want me?" I miss you. ”

"My aunt misses Brother Nian, and your sister Yuan and Brother Man miss you too!" Qin Ruwei said with a smile.

Brother Nian was satisfied, looked at Sister Yuan and Brother Man, jumped down from Qin Ruwei, and said to them: "It's good that you guys are here, we can play together again." ”

A few children squeaked, so lively.

"Concubine Wu has come to greet the princess." There was a girl singing outside.

Princess Ren's smile narrowed for a moment, but quickly smiled: "Let her in." ”

Qin Ruwei took the tea, lowered her eyebrows, and summoned a few children to tell them to be quieter.

A beautiful woman dressed in a gold brocade palace dress full of pearls walked in, with a decent smile on her face, and in her hand, she was also holding a five or six-year-old boy in a brocade robe, with a little bit of Xiao Xia Lanhao's eyebrows, this is his eldest son Xia Mingping.

Qin Ruwei keenly noticed that Princess Ren's hand shrank slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no woman would be willing to share a husband with others, especially the son that his woman gave birth to him for him was quite similar to him, how could this be endured?

Although Princess Ren is a virtuous one, she is also a woman, and what is even more uncomfortable is that Xia Lanhao's eldest son is not her son-in-law, right?

Concubine Wu led her son to humbly greet Princess Ren, Princess Ren looked at the seat with a smile and said, "It's so cold this day, what are you doing here?" You weren't in good shape before, so you caught the wind carefully. ”

Concubine Wu said delicately: "Morning and dusk are also what concubines should do, and besides, when the concubine heard that the ** county lord was also here, she also came to see her." As he spoke, he walked up to Qin Ruwei and smiled: "When I returned to Beijing, I was taken care of by the county lord all the way." ”

This trip back to Beijing, not only Brother Nian returned, but Concubine Wu and her entourage also returned, thinking that there was a response and they came back together, but they also sailed separately.

Qin Ruwei's rank is higher than that of Concubine Wu, but she didn't receive her full courtesy, after all, she is the wife and concubine of her cousin, and she can be regarded as her sister-in-law, so she got up and replied with a half-salute, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't take care of it much, Concubine Wu was polite." ”

Concubine Wu smiled and pulled Brother Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, I've seen your ** aunt." ”

"Ping'er has seen Aunt **." Xia Mingping was a little reluctant, and his expression was sad.

"No courtesy." Qin Ruwei helped her weakly, and gave a white jade pendant as a greeting gift, he also pouted when he took it, and handed it to the girl behind him to hold.

Concubine Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "This kid has always been a little angry when he gets up, don't blame the county lord." ”

Qin Ruwei smiled faintly and said two words, the child is like this.

Look at him carefully, this is not like getting up, this child is six years old, but his body is not as strong as Brother Nian'er, the two of them stand together, as if they are the same age, and then look at his eyes, there is a different calculation and gloom at this age.

Qin Ruwei sighed in her heart, there is no pure child of the royal family.

Sensing that Qin Ruwei was not enthusiastic, Concubine Wu smiled reluctantly, pulled Brother Ping and said, "You are the same child, you are the eldest son of your father, ** aunt is also the same as your aunt Duanmin, in front of your aunt, why are you shy?" ”

Princess Duanmin is the eighth daughter of the emperor, although she is not the same mother, but she is also the aunt of her relatives.

Brother Ping pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

Qin Ruwei glanced at Concubine Wu, her eyes flashed, and then the annoyed look on Princess Ren's face flashed, obviously angered by her eldest son's words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Brother Nian seemed to be unwilling to be close to Qin Ruwei, so he threw himself into Qin Ruwei's arms, as if he wanted to defend his position.

Qin Ruwei and his feelings are naturally no better than others, and they are very happy to hug him.

Concubine Wu saw it in her eyes, her pupils shrank slightly, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "In the end, Brother Nian and the county lord are more close, I look at it like this, it is even closer than the princess!" As if remembering something, he said: "When we returned to Beijing that day, Mrs. Qi of Shuntian Mansion also watched on the boat next door, because she had some friendship with me, and she also asked me secretly, thinking that Brother Nian and the county lord were mother and son, giggles." ”

As soon as these words came out, Princess Ren's face completely darkened, and Qin Ruwei was also unhappy, what is this, sowing discord?

"I said, how can this be, this is our Nian brother's aunt!" Ignoring everyone's faces, Concubine Wu said again: "But in my opinion, this is also fate, I have heard the prince say that he was very close to the eldest princess when he was a child, and now my brother is also close to the county lord, it is really a good love!" ”

"They are all kissing father and son, and they are related by blood to **, not to mention that Brother Nian has been raised by her side for two years, if you want to say that you don't kiss, then it's really chilling." Princess Ren said lightly, and said to Rui'an: "You are the eldest sister, the mother concubine has prepared tea and fruit snacks in the warm pavilion, take your younger brothers and sisters to the naughty!" ”

"Yes, Princess." Ryan glanced at Concubine Wu arrogantly, and then saw Brother Ping'er beside her, and said, "Brother Ping, don't go, my father just said that your homework is a little worse, you have to study hard and play well, otherwise your father will be unhappy again." ”

Concubine Wu's face changed slightly, and Brother Ping seemed to be surprised, and said, "I don't want to play with you, I want to go back to study, hum." With that, he ran out.

Seeing this, Concubine Wu became more and more annoyed, so she had to glare at the nurse and shouted softly: "Don't follow yet." ”

The nurse girl hurriedly followed.

Princess Ren said: "Although there is a nurse and a mother-in-law to serve, but you also have to serve snacks, the prince also told me, Brother Ping'er's body is not good, this is six years old enlightenment, sometimes I see him being carried away by the nurse, how can this be done?" Not to mention homework, you have to tell him all the time. ”

Concubine Wu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, princess." After a pause, he said: "Ping'er is the eldest son of the prince, and the concubine will definitely teach her well and not disappoint the prince and the princess." ”

She bit her eldest son heavily, and Princess Ren lowered her eyelids: "You go." ”

Concubine Wu flicked her veil, made a blessing and left.

When Princess Ren saw her leaving, she glared at Ryan and said, "You too, how can this mouth be so sharp." ”

Ryan snorted, "I can't see her arrogant." Seeing Princess Ren's face, she stuck out her tongue and beckoned to a few children: "Let's go, let's go to the pavilion." ”
