It was already evening when Qin Yan came out of the palace, and he didn't go back to the house, so he went directly to the household.

Emperor Tianxi went to Linshan, leaving King Rui to sit in Beijing, and when Qin Yan arrived, King Rui and Lord Wei of Hubu were sitting in the hall of Hubu Yamen eating tea and chatting. In the spacious household office, there are more than a dozen large desks lined up, and the top is full of thick account books.

In the room, the lights were bright, and an official of the household department had moved out the account books and was cracking the accounts of the state treasury with abacus.

Seeing Qin Yan come in, Lord Wei and King Rui both stood up, and King Rui took the lead and said with a smile: "Jing Heng has really worked hard to come back from the snow in the forest mountain this way, sit down and talk." ”

Jing Heng is Qin Yan's character, which was given by Emperor Tianxi himself when he was crowned.

King Rui is the fourth son of the emperor, but he is five years younger than King Cheng, but he is the same age as Qin Yan, he is from the concubine, his eyebrows are like a concubine, his face is long, his eyes are bright under the thick eyebrows, and his nose and face are the same as Emperor Tianxi, with a tall nose, slightly thick lips, and a heroic chin with a bit of fortitude, dignified appearance, and it seems friendly and loyal.

He was wearing a lake-blue robe embroidered with gold threads, a jade belt around his waist, and a cloud dragon jade pendant tied to the palace silk on the belt, wearing a crown, and his smile was gentle and polite, which was quite a bit of a virtuous corporal.

Qin Yan arched his hand slightly at King Rui but said: "Doing things for the imperial court, where do you dare to say that it is hard, speaking of which, the emperor left Beijing to stay in King Rui to guard the Beijing division and serve as the supervisor of the country, King Rui is only afraid that he will also get up early and be greedy for darkness, do you feel very hard?" ”

King Rui couldn't help but be choked by Qin Yan, but the smile on his face did not decrease at all, and said: "This king shares his father's worries and is loyal and filial, so naturally he doesn't feel hard." Jing Heng's words are reasonable, I don't think it's hard to come to Master Wei? ”

The crown prince was deposed, King Rui was worried about the military power in Qin Yan's hands, so he naturally wooed Qin Yan many times, and he always met him with a humble and polite and enthusiastic appearance, and Qin Yan was a cold face that many people were well known, except for the queen mother, the eldest princess and a few other people, no one gave face.

King Rui was not deflated in front of Qin Yan once or twice, and Lord Wei was not unusual, but he didn't want to get involved in the struggle for the rights of the emperor's relatives and relatives, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, go down to see how they are liquidated, and the prince and General Qin sit wide." ”

Master Wei said, raised his butt and left, seeing Qin Yan sitting down, his eyes swept slightly in the yafang, and King Rui said: "The accounts of the household department are checked at the end of each year, and there is only a big check every three years, after the eighth year of Tianxi's inspection, this year is just three years, so this task is relatively heavy, I am afraid that I will be busy for three or five days." Alas, this year's snow is too early, but I am afraid that the autumn harvest in some places has not been able to finish the busy, if it continues to fall, this winter will be difficult, I am afraid that all over the country will ......"

King Rui looked at Qin Yan with compassion on his face, and said: "This year, even the south has snowed heavily, Cangzhou is located in the extreme north, I am afraid that many people will freeze to death, the body of the eldest brother has always been not very good, when he was in Beijing, the East Palace would offer charcoal earlier every winter, this year...... Alas. ”

The eldest brother in King Rui's mouth naturally refers to the abolished prince who has been deposed and is now exiled in Cangling. His expression was extremely sincere in worry and regret, but when Qin Yan heard this, he glanced at King Rui lightly and said, "It's rare that King Rui has this heart." ”

King Rui smiled and said: "Look at what Jing Heng said, this king and the eldest brother have always had a deep brotherhood, when he was young, the king's riding and archery was taught by the eldest brother himself, how good the eldest brother's body was at that time, this king remembered that the ten stone bow and the eldest brother could easily pull away, at that time, the king said to the eldest brother, when the king grows up, he must also want to be as civil and military as the eldest brother, and he must also pull the ten stone bow." The next day, the eldest brother sent me a small bow, the bow is exactly the same as the bow of the eldest brother, and now the bow is still hanging on the wall of the study, always looking at the remembrance, but it is a pity that the king was not born to practice martial arts, and he has not been able to pull the bow apart until now. ”

King Rui sighed again, but Qin Yan didn't answer.

When he was a young man, the abolished prince was a radiant and amazing person, but it was a pity that he was besieged and injured when he led the troops to the expedition, and his body was damaged. And that time the prince was besieged, but he was a little unclear with King Cheng's family.

Seeing that Qin Yan was speechless, King Rui didn't care, and continued: "That time, the eldest brother of the emperor was injured by the Xuehu people on his expedition, and he came to the king of Japan, but if he has the opportunity, he must avenge the emperor's brother. ”

King Rui's words were indignant, and Qin Yan naturally understood it, he was alluding to the fact that if he could take refuge in him and ascend to the throne in the future, he would definitely avenge the deposed prince.

Qin Yan only tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "The prince also said just now, you are not good at martial arts, and the matter of leveling Xuehu is still not bothered by King Laorui." ”

The smile on Rui Wang's face was slightly gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and didn't say anything more.

Qin Yan stayed in the household department for more than two hours, and when he returned to the house, he went into the study with an evening meal, but he had no intention of doing anything, and he always couldn't help but think of the words of the queen mother in the palace today.

I couldn't help but hesitate in my heart, although he never said to Yingluo that he wanted to marry her, but this is not an obvious thing, he also told her when he left Beijing last time, and when he returned to Beijing this time, he would take her to meet his aunt first, which is naturally the meaning of marrying a wife, and the meaning of letting his aunt take care of them from it. If you want a side concubine or something, where can you use him to take her personally but entrust it to his aunt. Yingluo was so smart, how could she not understand what he meant.

But for a while, Qin Yan thought of the helpless expressions of the Queen Mother and Mama Shui, and thought again, could it be that Yingluo really misunderstood?

He was not very down-to-earth in his heart, and he couldn't talk to Yingluo in a hurry in the morning, so his mind moved, so he simply stood up and strode out of the study, and went to the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

He was familiar with it now, but after a quarter of an hour he was in Yingluo's boudoir, but when he entered the house, he sensed that something was wrong.

There was no maid waiting for the night on the bed behind the blue gauze cupboard outside, and before he entered the inner room, he heard no breathing inside, as if no one was there. Qin Yan took a few steps into the house, and sure enough, there was not even a charcoal basin in the house, it was dark and cold, which was completely different from the scene when he came the first two times.

This contrast of coldness and darkness made Qin Yan's heart feel as if he had been emptied, frowning, a little puzzled and uneasy.

He walked quickly to the bed, and saw that the curtain of the bed was hanging on the golden hook, and the quilts on the bed were neatly stacked, and his eyes were slightly sunken. It's just that he didn't want to alarm the people in this mansion, so he turned around and went out of the house and went straight back to King Jing's mansion.

When he arrived at Fuyun Courtyard, he instructed Ying Qidao: "Go to the Ding'an Hou Mansion to inquire about the whereabouts of Miss Su." ”

Ying Qi lowered his head and had already turned around, Qin Yan thought about it and felt that Yingluo had probably gone somewhere to avoid him. She didn't like him to visit in the middle of the night, and she didn't like the people who went to the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night, so she said unconsciously: "Forget it, it's not too late to go when it's dawn." ”

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, and saw that his family had always hesitated for such a trivial matter, so he sighed in his heart and responded again.

The next day, Qin Yan practiced martial arts and returned to the hospital, Ying Qi had already asked Yingluo's whereabouts, and heard that Yingluo had taken a car to General Zhenwei's mansion yesterday afternoon, Qin Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

General Zhenwei's Mansion is a first-class general's mansion in the end, and it is qualified to raise private soldiers, although there are not many, but the vigilance at night is stronger than that of Ding'an Hou's Mansion. What's more, the wife of the general's mansion and the queen mother are handkerchiefs, and they still have some respect for the lady Qin Yan, otherwise they would not have entrusted Yingluo to Mrs. Tai at the beginning.

In addition, after hearing Ying Qi say that Yingluo was living with Wang Xueyao when she arrived at the General's Mansion, Qin Yan couldn't run to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night at will.

She had a good place to hide, Qin Yan thought about it and shook his head and smiled bitterly. only instructed Ying Qi to pay attention to when Yingluo returned home, so he changed his clothes and went to the house.

Emperor Tianxi allowed Qin Yan to escort Lord Wei of the Ministry of Household to return to Beijing, which naturally meant that he would return to Beijing to assist Lord Wei in clearing the treasury together. Otherwise, a household department is still a book, and he can't say anything to the general Yingyang who can't work the second grade to escort him.

Therefore, Qin Yan followed the officials of the household department for four or five days, stayed up all night, and finally checked the treasury clearly in the early morning of the fifth day.

After staying up all night, he finally got busy, Master Wei beat his sore back and said: "It's clear, the prince and General Qin can go back to the house to rest first, and Weichen will write a note to ask him to go to the Linshan Palace immediately to present it to the emperor." ”

King Rui also looked a little relieved when he heard this, stretched his waist, but sighed again, and said: "It's just that the treasury is very empty now, and a total of nine million taels of silver is not enough, but I am afraid that my father will be angry when he sees Lord Wei's Chen." ”

Lord Wei said calmly: "From the second year of Tianxi to the present, the imperial court has sent troops to fight, and this General Qin knows best. In which conquest didn't this household open its mouth and shed silver? The emperor also has an account in his heart! In the first two years, disasters continued everywhere, and a large amount of silver was allocated to the river workers the year before last, and last year they renovated the two palaces of Chengqian and Shunqian. The Jiangzhou area was hit by a disaster, and the emperor reduced the tax, but the silver could only go in and out. Our poor emperor is wise and martial, and he is clear. The deficit in the treasury is not a problem of our household department, and the nine million taels of silver are still carefully calculated by the ministers. A few days ago, General Gao sent people to urge the army to pay salaries, and everyone went to Weichen's house. ”

King Rui sighed and said, "Lord Wei has done his best for the household, and he has done his best, and this king and all the adults know it. I'm afraid it's just such a little silver...... Alas, this year's snow can be menacing, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale snow disaster, I can't say that it will affect next year's spring ploughing, and next year my father will go to Feng Zen, this alone is two indispensable expenses, but they all point to the household of Lord Wei. ”

Lord Wei's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak, but Qin Yan said: "The matter of this snow disaster is still to mobilize all the meritorious noble mansions, officials at all levels, and wealthy gentry and merchants from all over the country to donate more silver and grain, and it is really not possible for the imperial court to make an IOU." These nine million taels of silver are untouchable! Lord Wei couldn't help but think more about this matter, and drafted a detailed charter to submit to the emperor, which must be able to reduce some pressure on the household. General Ben remembered that there was a precedent for this in the imperial court. ”

Lord Wei's eyes lit up unconsciously, and he bowed to Qin Yan and said: "General Xie Qin, Weichen, mentioned that the imperial court has indeed set this precedent, not to mention that in the sixth year of Tianxi, the emperor overhauled water conservancy, and the old man of the Chi family took the lead in donating 300,000 taels of silver. ”

King Rui also said: "Master Chi is ambitious and has the world in mind, and his father is also praised. Speaking of which, after that incident, the Chi family's reputation has soared, and the Chi family's business has become bigger and bigger. Mr. Chi's abacus is better than your household book, oh, by the way, the first two days of the king of Japan seems to have heard someone say that, saying that the eldest son of the Chi family, who is now in charge of business, has married the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and he will be hired in the next two days. There is a leader here, and the next one is not all a matter of course? ”

King Rui also gave Master Wei an idea, Qin Yan had already strode out after saying this, but when he heard King Rui's words, he suddenly stopped, and he felt a chill.

The eldest son of the Chi family, Chi Jingyi?

He is engaged to the girl of the Ding'an Hou Mansion!

In front of him, Qin Yan's fists suddenly clenched, but he didn't want to believe the speculation in his heart, he suddenly turned around, flashed in front of King Rui in the blink of an eye, and said coldly: "You just said that the eldest prince of the Chi family married the Ding'an Hou Mansion?" Which room and which girl are you in the same room? ”

King Rui only felt a black shadow approaching, and he couldn't breathe freely, and when he looked up in surprise, he saw that Qin Yan, who had already left, was blocked in front of him in a blink of an eye, with an irritable oppressive force all over his body, and a pair of eyes staring at him were cold and frosty, revealing endless coldness.

King Rui was already born a little weak, a head shorter than Qin Yan, but now he only felt that there was an iceberg blocked in front of him, and it was like an iceberg that would have an avalanche at any time. He instinctively wanted to step back, but before his footsteps moved, Qin Yan had already grabbed his placket and lifted him up, and sighed, "Speak!" ”

In the end, King Rui is the prince of the four concubines, and he has been crowned the king, his status is precious, and he can be regarded as a gentle and gentle corporal of Lixian on weekdays, but in fact, he is not easy to get along with in his bones, and he was reprimanded by Qin Yan in public at this moment, only to feel that his face is gone, but he has a sense of kinship, and he also knows that he has confessed at this moment, and he will not say that he will compete for the big treasure in the future, and it is almost the same as being a laughing stock in the capital.

He held back the fear in his heart, his face also turned cold, he held Qin Yan's hand holding the placket with one hand, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Prince Jingwang!" What are you doing?! How does this king know which girl the eldest prince of the Chi family is in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, do you think this king has the leisure to take care of such a trivial matter? You know what you're doing! Do it to the prince, Qin Yan, you are really getting better and better! Let go of this king! ”

Qin Yan didn't pay attention to King Rui's clamor at all, and seeing that he really didn't know the details, he shook off King Rui, and strode out without saying a word, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

For a while, there was silence in the yamen of the household department, and King Rui was thrown to the ground and took two steps back before he stood firm, his face was purple with anger, his expression was cold, and everyone hung their heads in shock, not daring to say more.

Qin Yan came out of the six official offices like a gust of wind, turned over and went straight to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. Yesterday evening, Ying Qi went to the household department to inform him that Yingluo had returned to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. He couldn't leave the household last night, and he originally thought of going to the Ding'an Hou Mansion tonight, but at this moment, he couldn't wait.

He wanted to make sure if that woman really dared to play and deceive him like this!

Qin Yan's heart was like being buried with a volcano that would erupt at any time, and he wanted to kill people in a rage, he galloped all the way to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, thinking in his heart that if it was really as he thought in his heart, what should he do to that hateful and hateful woman.

But he didn't think that as soon as he crossed Sitong Street, he saw a group of people in front of him carrying mahogany boxes and red ribbons, and went west quite lively and festively, attracting people all the way to watch, bustling, and actually blocked the road. Qin Yan pulled off the reins of the horse irritably, sat down on the ground, and kicked his hooves frantically under the pain of the horse, neighing uneasily.

Seeing that the crowd in front of him was crowded, it was impossible to get through, Qin Yan was about to turn his horse's head and make a detour, but suddenly heard someone shouting in the crowd.

"Ouch, this is really the Chi family, look at this handwriting, it is really rich and grand, not worse than the minister's mansion at all. Which girl are you going to marry? With such a dowry, the one who wants to marry must be a noble girl. ”

As soon as the man shouted, an insider replied: "It is said that she is a girl from the Ding'an Hou Mansion." ”

The person before suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, let me say, isn't this Chi family a businessman?" This is Gao Pan, no wonder this dowry is so rich. ”

This person said nothing, but someone sneered and retorted: "You don't know this, if you want to talk about Gao Pan, this family business is the Chi family of the Hou Mansion of Ding'an." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

I heard that it was the Houmen Mansion that climbed the merchant's house, and many people were surprised to ask, and the voice of the person who spoke before was a little proud, and he talked eloquently, saying: "Although this Chi family is a merchant, but the family is an imperial businessman, and the old lady of the family is the heavenly official of the first emperor. And although the old men of the Chi family are not out of office, the daughters-in-law they marry are all official eunuchs. And although this Ding'an Hou Mansion is the Houmen Mansion, it has been decayed for several generations, and haven't you heard it just now, the kid hired by the Chi family said that their Chi family's eldest young master is not married to a girl from the Changfang, but a concubine in the third room, I heard that it is still a concubine from the outer room, you say, is this the Su family climbing? ”

After this person said this, everyone echoed it, saying straight to the Su family, what a blessing it is for this concubine from the outer room to be able to climb such a good family business.

Qin Yan sneered again and again, and the reins of the horse in his hand became tighter and tighter, and the horse neighed in pain and raised its hooves high, causing a burst of chaos. The crowd in front of them was alarmed, and they turned around one after another, only to see a man who exuded tyrannical mania sitting on a horse, his face covered with a mask, and the bustling crowd failed to melt the thousand-year-old lonely temperament of this person.

His gaze swept across the crowd like a knife, and he didn't see anyone staring at him, but everyone in the crowd felt like they were being stared at, and a cold horror came out of the cracks in his bones. For a while, the crowd that was still laughing and laughing suddenly fell silent.

"General Yingyang, the villain meets the general!"

I don't know who shouted in a trembling voice, and knelt down with a pop, and then as if it was infected, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and in a moment there were people on the ground.

Like a tidal wave, the movement here has already alarmed the hiring team in front.

Today, Chi Jingyi was hired, as the future groom, Chi Jingyi personally led people in front of the crowd, and was also riding a horse, hearing the sound he reined in the horse, turned around and looked, although this glance was hundreds of meters away, but at a glance he saw Qin Yan sitting on a horse, full of violent atmosphere, like Qin Yan who stood out from the crowd.

The eyes of the two men instantly met, and even through the crowded crowd, Chi Jingyi felt Qin Yan's bloodthirsty gaze.

Rao was mentally prepared for a long time, and the hand holding the reins was still clenched tightly, only how shocked he was, but he didn't show anything on his face. Still sitting on the horse with his back straight, he even hugged Qin Yan from afar and nodded in courtesy.

Qin Yan's eyes narrowed, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and he drove his horse through the crowd and walked towards the next team little by little.

The dowry of the Chi family is really very rich, and all of them are packed in a large box of mahogany, which is naturally uncovered, and the silk and satin in it, rare ancient books, jewelry, etc. are almost overflowing from the box, and a piece of ambilight is dazzling.

The boxes are all tied with red satin, with big red flowers, and the boxes are all twenty-five or sixteen middle-aged men, with a new short shirt of navy blue, green cloth high-top shoes on the soles of their feet, and a red belt around their waists, which looks extremely festive.

In front of and behind the procession, there are drums wearing auspicious costumes and holding musical instruments, which is really warm and beautiful.

Qin Yan's eyes swept over the boxes of dowry gifts, the horses walked very slowly, he didn't show any inappropriate behavior, but for some reason those men carrying the dowry were frightened, and he always felt that this Ying Yang general was not passing by by accident, and he was really not good and murderous.

In the end, someone couldn't support it, his shoulders were crooked, the dowry fell to the ground, and there was a thud, and Qin Yan stared at it. The man turned pale with fright, trembled in both trembling, and couldn't stand still, so he simply knelt down with the people who were watching the excitement.

As soon as he took the lead, the team put down the dowry and knelt down, Chi Jingyi sighed silently, not daring to let Qin Yan scan his hiring team anymore, and took the initiative to ride his horse to Qin Yan.

Only then did Qin Yan retract his gaze and stare at Chi Jingyi, Chi Jingyi had clearly dressed up today, and he wore a rare dark red cloud brocade robe, with dark purple silk threads embroidered all over the place and a white jade crown on his head. He was already handsome, and he liked to wear plain colors on weekdays, and he looked a little weak and pale.

However, today's red dress has made his complexion a lot ruddy, and he is more upright and upright than usual, and he is full of spirit.

He stepped forward, as if he had never noticed Qin Yan's unkindness, smiled at Qin Yan, and said: "General Qin, is this passing by, today is the day to carry out the levy ceremony, blocking the road, I hope General Qin will forgive me." ”

Qin Yan stared at Chi Jingyi, who was smiling gently, but what he was thinking about was that hateful woman.

Now that the two of them have made the ceremony, this marriage is naturally not a day or two, but I am afraid that he has just left Beijing here, and Su Yingluo is marrying herself over there.

Qin Yan didn't doubt at all that this family affair was approved by Yingluo, and it would never be decided by Su Dingwen in private. For some reason, he just had this certainty.

Thinking that when he left, he also pulled her hair, and the two also had an intimate parting in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and she also used her soft lips to blow her fingertip wounds. In the blink of an eye, he was betrothed to someone else. Qin Yan had a desire to destroy it.

Not to mention, that damn woman dared to deceive him after he returned to Beijing in the wind and snow, and diverted all his attention to the Seven Princes by avoiding the serious!

No wonder she left the Ding'an Hou Mansion that afternoon and ran to the General's Mansion to take refuge, and only returned home yesterday evening, she no longer avoided herself, but it turned out that she returned to the house not because of herself, I am afraid that she will have to wait for Chi Jingyi to be hired today!

Qin Yan thought about this, only to feel that his heart was surging with endless sourness, pain, resentment, and anger, and he couldn't wait to immediately tear the man in front of him who was affirmed by Yingluo to pieces.

Then carry it and throw it in front of that hateful woman, and let her know the consequences of deceiving and coaxing his feelings!

But no matter how violent he was, he still maintained the last of his sanity, knowing very well that if he really did that, he was afraid that the woman would really go to a strange place with him.

And deep down in his heart, he didn't want to believe that the woman's words about him were all fake. That day in Chu Yi Pavilion, I picked her up in front of Chi Jingyi, I still remember her embarrassed and embarrassed look, her reaction at the time, no matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem to be in love with Chi Jingyi.

Qin Yan's hand hanging down at his side loosened and clenched it, his eyes surging with affection, like a wave roaring on a stormy night.

In the end, he didn't say a word, only a chuckle escaped from his pursed lips.

"Huh."

The voice was extremely cold and light, but it was also very low, and it sounded and fell again, he had suddenly clamped the horse's belly, the horse's hooves trampled, and if the thunder sounded, he bypassed Chi Jingyi and galloped past the next team.

He didn't dare to stay longer, let alone fight with Chi Jingyi more, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and really do something he regretted.

Chi Jingyi really didn't expect Qin Yan to leave so lightly, his eyebrows frowned unconsciously, and a deep uneasiness welled up in his heart.

I always feel that Qin Yan's appearance today will bring trouble, and I always feel that bad things may be still to come.

When Chi Jingyi turned his horse's head to look, there was no Qin Yan's figure on the street, and only a wisp of dust that had not yet dissipated announced the fury of the man when he left.

That direction leads to Xicheng, and Ding'anhou's Mansion is located in Xicheng, but Jingwang's Mansion is not in that direction, is he ......

Thinking about it, Chi Jingyi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to himself: "Okay, let's move on." ”

His shout was like a thawing magic wand, which warmed up the frozen atmosphere, and the bridal boxes were picked up one by one, and the drum team was beaten again.

Although the lively crowd got up and talked again, the atmosphere was completely devoid of the lively and noisy of Fang Cai, and even the several large baskets of cakes prepared by the Chi family were not as powerful as those prepared by Fang Cai. The hiring team also left in a hurry because of Chi Jingyi's anxiety in front of them.

Ding'an Hou Mansion, because of the discussion of today to recruit the next hire, so the door of the Hou Mansion opened, Yang Steward and people stood in front of the door in anticipation, the Chi family's team is about to arrive, there will be a Hou Mansion small fight Ma to report.

Steward Yang hurriedly went in to call Su Dingwen and several masters to come out, the second master, the fourth master, and Su Jinghua and others greeted them out of the mansion, and the team of the Chi family blew and blew into the long street in front of the Hou Mansion.

Most of Chi Jingyi's parents and elders are not in the capital, but in the Chi family's ancestral home. If it is ordinary, it will take more than half a year to complete the six ceremonies, which is naturally enough for the late parents to come, but Chi Jingyi and Yingluo are in a hurry to make the appointment, so the late parents are not there.

But Na Zheng can't be without a male elder by his side, the so-called two masters who don't bother with anything, it was originally for the wife of Lord Mei in the matter, and today Na Zheng Chi Jingyi also invited Lord Mei in the matter.

At this moment, when he arrived in front of the Hou Mansion, Chi Jingyi saw that the front of the Hou Mansion was ready, and Su Dingwen and the others stood in front of the door to greet him, and he didn't see Qin Yan, let alone anything unusual.

He was suspicious in his heart, but he was also slightly relieved, beat his horse to the door of the Hou Mansion, turned over and dismounted, and Lord Yumei bowed to everyone together.

After a salute, he entered the Hou Mansion, and the dowry at the back was also sent to the gate of the Ding'an Hou Mansion like water in the sound of beating drums.

The dowry was carried into the gate, and according to custom, it was piled up in the courtyard to dry for the onlookers outside.

In the inner house, Yingluo felt that her eyelids kept beating when she got up early today, and she always felt that something would happen, and she couldn't settle down in her heart.

Faintly hearing the sound of drums, she stood up in surprise and instructed Brother Miao: "Go to the front yard to see if the dowry has arrived." ”

At that time, Yingluo thought that Qin Yan couldn't wait until she got married to come back, although Chi Fu also had a house in the capital, but the marriage must be in the ancestral house, so Yingluo thought that when Qin Yan came back, she would have left the capital.

When the dust settles, Qin Yan is unwilling, but he can't run to grab his relatives. Even if his temperament is no longer uninhibited, the Queen Mother will not allow him to do that, and King Jing's Mansion can't afford to lose that person.

At that time, she thought very clearly, as long as her family affairs were done quickly and low-key, she would probably not reach the ears of Qin Yan, who was far away in the other palace, and she felt that God was really helping her and supporting her decision when it snowed.

It's just that she didn't expect Ye Yuxuan to intervene in it, and Qin Yan would come back early. Since Qin Yan left her boudoir that night of the fight, Yingluo has never felt at ease, and her heart is always up and down.

And this kind of uneasiness continues to grow with the loss of time, until today, she almost didn't sleep last night, for fear that Qin Yan would fall from the sky. finally survived until dawn, and felt that it was even more abnormal that the person didn't come, could it be that he really aimed the fire at Chi Jingyi.

When she got up early this morning, Yingluo was about to ask the hour every now and then, and at this moment she heard the sound of drums in front of her, where could she still hold back, and hurriedly ordered Brother Miao to go ahead and have a look.

Mother Yun smiled unconsciously when she heard this, and said: "On weekdays, I see that the girl is getting more and more calm, but today can be regarded as a mess, the girl forgot about it, you let the little maid run forward to listen to the movement in the morning, if the eldest son of the Chi family arrives, Jiao'er will naturally be the first to run back to inform the girl, where is the use of Brother Miao to run again." It can be seen that the girl is also satisfied with this family business, which is good, this is good. ”

Mother Yun was happy in her heart, smiling and seeing her teeth, but Brother Miao on the side understood Yingluo's anxiety a little.

Naturally, she will not forget the fact that she was knocked out by a dark shadow that day and night, and the subsequent disobedience of her own girl, which made Brother Miao guess. What's more, Yingluo tossed and turned last night, and her face is very pale today.

At this moment, hearing Yingluo's order, Brother Miao was busy responding, and said: "Don't worry, girl, the slave will go and take a look, listening to this movement, it must be that the eldest son Chi has come to hire." ”

As she spoke, she walked out of the house, and Yingluo ate two sips of tea and barely suppressed her mood when she heard the little girl's brisk laughter outside.

"The fifth aunt has come to hire, the dowry is so rich, this time the third master has welcomed the fifth aunt to the flower hall for tea!" This voice is the little girl's.

"Really, have you seen the fifth aunt? What do you look like!? ”

When the sound fell, the courtyard suddenly became lively, and several little maids shouted one after another.

"Say it, say it!"
