Chapter 357: Ghost Upper Body

Qiu Chen was dumbfounded, looked back at Qin Zheng, the two exchanged helpless looks, and did not refute what the unreliable prince said.

Out of Baoguang Tower, it is already the middle of the time, and the curfew will be imposed at the end of the time, although they do not need to worry about being caught by the soldiers patrolling the night, but these two people still try to keep a low profile, and it is best not to let people catch the handle.

Sending the two babies back to Baishiqiao's house, Qiu Chen reluctantly got into the car and left, and was looking out of the window with a sad stomach, when the carriage shook, and Qin Zheng also entered the carriage. Chen and Chengying, who were in the car, hurriedly got out of the car and went on horseback instead.

Restrained his expression, Qiu Chen said in surprise: "Aren't you riding a horse?" ”

Qin Zheng didn't answer, he sat down directly beside Qiu Chen, stretched out his hand to take Qiu Chen into his arms, rubbed her shoulder, and said low and clearly: "After living for a month, we will move into the Hou Mansion." ”

Now that he is married, Qiu Chen has long been mentally prepared, and he can no longer decide everything with his personal will, so he naturally has to take into account the situation and feelings of the other half. It's like a person who is used to walking, and tying the legs of two people together at once will inevitably stumble a little bit, but I believe that as long as the two work together and slowly get used to each other's existence, the minds and strength of the two people will still be greater than one person. The key is that when two people go together, if there is any embarrassment or illness, there will be someone by your side to take care of you, and pull you when you fall behind......

Being held in his arms by a man, Qiu Chen was inevitably a little unaccustomed, his body stiffened for a while, and then he slowly relaxed his body, leaned on Qin Zheng's arms, tried to go around with both hands, wrapped around the man's solid back, and pillowed his head in his shoulder socket, letting the weight of his body rely on, and let his psychology find a support.

"Well, I know that." Qiu Chen replied softly, and then added, "I'm just a little unfamiliar and uncomfortable when I first enter the capital, believe me, I will adjust quickly." ”

Listening to the words of the little wife in his arms similar to explanations, Qin Zheng's heart softened, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, but there was no warmth in his eyes that should be at this time, on the contrary, his slightly narrowed eyes showed firmness and coldness.

Since he married the woman in the arms of the word into the door and became his wife, including her and a pair of children, he naturally had to protect them, hold up a clean and comfortable sky for them, and let them live a comfortable and carefree life.

As long as he waited patiently for a little longer, it wouldn't be long before he would do it.

After returning to the Liang Guogong Mansion, Qin Zheng went to the outer study, where Qin Xiuyi was waiting for him and asked about entering the palace today.

Qiu Chen was not in a hurry to return to Wutong Garden, but took people straight to Hanlian Garden. Mrs. Li was still sick and couldn't see anyone, and she didn't care, so she only inquired about Li's condition at the door, said a few words to Sun in front of Li, and took out a string of clams and handed it to her.

"This is to go to Tianfu Temple today to beg, Mama Sun has worked very hard to serve Mrs., this will be given to Mama, bless a peace!"

The animal shell of the clams is not too high in modern times because of the development of ocean fishing and diving, but in this era, under the condition that there are no auxiliary facilities for human diving and fishing, the clams have become a rare object, and because of the respect of Buddhism, it is called the seven treasures of Buddhism with gold, silver, agate, coral, glass and amber, and the clams are the first of the seven treasures.

A string of the most common clams also costs more than a dozen taels of silver, and high-quality gold silk clams, hibiscus clams, etc., can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

This string of clams for Sun's was bought by Qiu Chen outside the gate of Tianfu Temple, ordinary pure white texture, smooth and delicate, the carving is simple but not stiff, at that time, thanks to Yang Jingyong's blessing, Qiu Chen took a total of sixteen strings and spent a hundred taels of silver, which is considered to be a bargain. Although it is not very valuable, but the main family goes out and remembers to bring you a gift for your mother-in-law, just this intention, has made Sun inexplicably moved, not to mention the meaning of praying for peace and health, Sun is naturally a little flattered, and his face is full of surprise.

But he still hesitated slightly, and sent it back with a handicap: "Grandma is polite, the slaves and maids should serve the lady, where can they afford such a valuable thing as the grandma......"

Qiu Chen smiled and closed Sun's hand, and said, "Although it is a duty, there is still dedication, and Mama's loyalty to Madame is the most rare...... It was also my duty to serve my wife, but I had just returned home, and I was not familiar with my wife's temperament and preferences, so I really had no spare energy. I can only entrust my wife to you, you serve well, this is what you deserve, you can rest assured that you can accept it! ”

At this time, the Sun family relaxed, knelt neatly and kowtowed to thank the reward, and then sent Qiu Chen away from Hanlian Garden with a happy face.

After leaving the gate of Hanlian Garden for more than ten steps, Sun said in a low voice: "Madame has improved today, and she has gotten up and walked around in the morning and afternoon, grandma don't worry!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "I'm relieved to do that...... Mama Sun is tired, if there is anything wrong, Mama Sun can come to Wutong Garden to find me. After speaking, he resigned from the Sun family and took the Chen family and Chengying back to Wutong Garden.

Qin Zheng had already returned, and when he went in, he didn't see Qiu Chen, only to realize that Qiu Chen hadn't come back yet. So, I didn't wait in the house, I simply walked out of the Wutong Garden and greeted him in the direction of the Hanlian Garden.

Bypassing the middle courtyard, Qiu Chen saw a burly figure walking slowly over at a glance.

She paused unexpectedly, and then, unexpectedly, a flash of joy overflowed from her eyes, and she walked briskly.

The Chen family originally followed Qiu Chen closely, but at this time, he took a few girls to salute Qin Zheng from a few steps, and then sped up his pace and went back to Wutong Garden.

The two masters must have been tired and tired after a day of going out, so they must quickly order someone to prepare hot water and bath soup, and when the master returns, he will be able to bathe and change clothes immediately. Also, prepare a late night snack and soup...... After lunch, the two masters ate some snacks, didn't eat dinner, and went home directly after watching a play......

Seeing the mother-in-law and girls leaving quickly, Qiu Chen was stunned, and it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed after realizing it. These people ...... In this Liang Guogong Mansion, who knows how many ears and eyes are hidden under the rockery behind the big trees beside the road, can she do something? Why don't you run away like this!

Qin Zheng didn't care at all, looked down at Qiu Chen, who was pausing in his footsteps, and said in a low voice of concern: "Tired, right?" ”

Qiu Chen came back to his senses and shook his head gently: "It's okay!" ”

Just shopping, just walking a few more steps, for Qiu Chen is not tired, it is far more relaxed than staying in the Liang Guogong Mansion, always embankment, and everything is more careful.

Qin Zheng pursed his lips disapprovingly, stretched out his hand and naturally grabbed Qiu Chen's shoulder, and said in a low voice while slowly walking towards Wutong Garden: "Didn't they say that they don't need you to serve?" You don't have to be so wronged! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and did not refute.

She is different from him after all, although Qin Zheng is said to have been discouraged since childhood, but he is the eldest son of the Liang Guogong Mansion, according to the usual practice, he will be the first heir of Liang Guogong in the future, as long as he does not do anything angry and resentful, this Liang Guogong Mansion will be his in the future, even if he is not so respectful to his stepmother, as long as he does not do anything disobedient, no one will say a word. But she is a daughter-in-law, and she has a simple background and no family background to rely on, as long as she is not careful, she is very likely to be caught by someone and deducted the name of unfilial piety and disobedience.

She has no family background to rely on, but she has never been in the habit of relying on anyone, the huge amount of family assets is earned by herself, and many relationships and friends are also handed over by herself, so she believes that she can also live well in this undercurrent surging and dangerous Liang Guogong Mansion, and there will definitely be no reputation for unfilial piety.

What she has to do is not filial piety, what she does is superficial work, what she wants to do is make no one say anything. As for whether to reconcile with Mrs. Li or not, she had never thought about it at all, and she had never had such a naΓ―ve idea.

Relax his body, separate a part to lean on Qin Zheng's strong arms, and walk slowly while looking up at the curved moon in the sky.

"It's March 21, and it's time for the corn and potatoes in the field to emerge!"

Qin Zheng glanced sideways at the little woman in the crook of his arm, the hazy light of the stars and the moon sprinkled down, making her already slender figure more and more weak, holding her arm and letting her shoulders shrink inward, barely holding it, the jade-colored jacket lined with the indigo long skirt, as if draped in a period of moonlight on her shoulders, reflecting the thin white cheeks and delicate eyebrows and eyes were hazy, like a dream, beautiful like an illusion, making him suddenly have an unreal feeling.

The world only sees her early widowhood, and only sees her from a farmer's mountain village, who knows that her inner richness and fullness, and the elegance and nobility in her bones?

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is knowledgeable and well-learned; It is still not enough to say that she is noble, elegant, generous, and graceful, far better than all the women in this world.

He didn't doubt her background, but she told him that she got it inexplicably after fainting from a serious illness, and this statement actually couldn't stand scrutiny, but he was still willing to accept her and believe her.

As long as she is willing to rely on him, trust him, and entrust the rest of her life to him, what else can he doubt or worry?

If he is still suspicious, or not at ease, then he doesn't trust not only her, but also his own ability!

The starry night crescent moon is like a hook, the woman in the crook of her arm smiled quietly, and whispered her worries, although she was in the Liang Guo Mansion, Qin Zheng couldn't help but feel relaxed and comfortable, and couldn't help it, with a smile on the corner of her lips.

"Well," he responded in a low voice, and said in a low voice, "I planted two crops last year, and this year Nanzhili is a year of good weather and good weather, so there must be nothing, you don't have to worry." ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyes, glanced at the man, and said with a smile: "I'm not worried...... It's just that I feel a little regret that I can't watch them grow and harvest! ”

Speaking of these, Qiu Chen's mood also became cheerful and happy, and his tone became brisk and lively.

Qin Zheng lowered his head, looked at the smile like a flower, naturally raised his hand and nodded his slightly upturned nose, and said with a smile: "It's too late this year, wait for next year, let's plant it in Zhuangzi, and you can go over and see it at any time." ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Is the back garden of Jingbei Houfu big?" ”

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, wondering how she suddenly jumped from the corn and potatoes in her hometown to the back garden of Jingbei Houfu...... It was only a blink of an eye, and Qin Zheng burst out laughing.

But the expression on his face did not change at all, and he shook his head with a straight face, "It's not big! ”

Qiu Chen's face was filled with a layer of disappointment.

Also, in the capital, especially in the inner city, the area is limited, countless noble families live here, and there are increasingly large royal clans, which do not want to build a larger mansion. It is also like the Liang Guogong Mansion, which occupies the advantage of the founding fathers, and renovated and renovated the mansions of several meritorious dynasties in the previous dynasty into such a huge garden, and it would be good for ordinary officials and eunuchs to have a three-five mansion. It is said that some of the officials of the six departments, the officials of the third and fourth grades, are a big member of the party when they are left in the place, but in the capital, they can only live in a small courtyard with three or even two entrances, and there is not even a small garden.

Jingbei Hou Mansion, there are two roads and five entrances, there can be a garden behind, according to Chen, there is also a lake connected to the living water, which is already very good. This is still stained with the light of the imperial gift, otherwise, only with the resources on the market to buy, the house of Baishiqiao is already extremely rare.

Alas, it's still good for Liu Jiaao, a huge barren mountain, as long as she is willing, she can even buy thousands of acres of barren mountains and plant and transform them at will......

After Qin Zheng looked at the little woman's disappointed face, he tried hard to raise a smile, which was funny at the same time, but also inevitably distressed.

He has long known that her temperament is hearty and does not like restraint, and she just likes to socialize, but he still selfishly brings her into the capital, and brings her into the most uncomfortable place in the world. She wanted a big garden, but she didn't fight for it, but she just asked.

Such tolerance and generosity, such a burial of grievances in his heart, must be unhappy, but he still showed him a relieved and quiet smile.

Distressed, soft-hearted, almost never felt this way.

Qin Zheng stopped, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, pressed his chin against the top of her head, and said in a low but firm voice: "If you want anything, don't bury yourself in your heart and wronged yourself!" ”

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to answer, Qin Zheng said again: "Want a big garden?" What's so hard about it. Not to mention that the garden of the Marquis Mansion in Jingbei is enough for you to fiddle with, but what if it is not enough? Tear down the extra yard! You are the mistress of that mansion, and it is up to you to decide what you say and do, as long as you rejoice! ”

Such sweet words are said, if Yang Jingyong or ...... Liao Wenqing and Qiu Chen would not be surprised, but it was Qin Zheng who said this, and Qiu Chen was a little uncomfortable.

This guy who has a cold face every day and barely even knows how to laugh would actually say such sensational things?

In the night, Qiu Chen raised his little head and stared wide-eyed, wanting to see the expression on someone's face, but the other party hung his head, and he couldn't even use the dim stars and moon in the sky, and he couldn't distinguish the outline of his facial features at all, let alone see the expression on his face.

Qin Zheng's words were not said after any deep thought, nor did he deliberately express sensationalism, but he just said them from the heart, and they were completely heartfelt. As he spoke, he didn't feel that something was wrong, but the woman in his arms struggled to raise her head from his arms, and stared at the endless ......

was troubled by her, and Qin Zheng also realized the intimacy and doting of his words...... After all, he hadn't said such a thing, which made him a little unsure for a while, shouldn't men treat their women like this?

"Qin Zheng?" Qiu Chen called out hesitantly.

"Huh?" Qin Zheng responded with questions.

She looked at herself like this for a long time, did she have something to say to him?

"Qin Zheng?" Qiu Chen shouted again.

"Hmm...... What's up? Qin Zheng answered again, and asked clearly.

"It's really you!" Qiu Chen let out a soft sigh!

It turns out that there is no wrong person, and there is no ghost!

Qiu Chen's words were a bit clueless, Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally his mind flashed with lightning, and he couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

Raising his hand and pressing it on the top of the woman's head, he rubbed it vigorously, Qin Zheng reached out and grabbed the woman's shoulder and smiled: "It's me, don't worry!" ”

After speaking, with the woman who finally woke up and showed a sweet smile on her face, she almost completely supported the weight of her entire body and went to Wutong Garden.

As the night deepened, a few words of conversation faintly came from the sparse flowers and trees on the road.

"How big is the back garden of the Hou Mansion?"

"Well, there are always a dozen acres."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is there a rockery? Is there a lake? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes! ”

"Is there a building?"

"Yes...... There are pavilions near the lake, and there are several pavilions to enjoy the scenery! ”

The conversation was silent for a while, and after a while, the female voice asked again: "Is there a free house around?" Do you have private houses? ”

"It was surrounded by the mansions that were given to the princes at the time of the founding of the country, and although many families have declined, they have also changed high-ranking officials and clans to live in, and there are no idle mansions...... There are no private houses either! ”

The female voice fell silent again, and after a while, a weak sentence came: "I have a Zhuangzi on the other side of the Tongzhou River, you see which day is appropriate, I want to go over and see ......"

Qin Zheng paused, wrapped his arm around the shoulder in the crook of the arm, and responded in a low voice: "Okay." The day after tomorrow, I'll take you and the two children over! ”

When it was over, he said, "Ming'er, I'll send someone over to lay out the ...... first."

After the three-day return ceremony, the newlywed will be completed. If there is any etiquette, it is that when the bride is a month old, the mother's family will take the bride home to warm the moon. It's just that the Yang family is far away in Anyang Mansion, and this one way comes and goes, at least ten days and half a month each way, and Qiu Chen's warm moon is probably saved.

The next morning, Qiu Chen got up late again.

Looking at the bright light shining through the bed tent, Qiu Chen knew that he was getting up late. I wanted to get up, but my body was so weak that I could hardly use my strength, and when I moved slightly, her legs and back were sore, so she inhaled cold air.

Turning his head slightly, looking at the other half of the empty bed, he knew that someone who was energetic must have gone to morning exercise early in the morning.

Alas, people deserve to die more than men!

Obviously the person who consumes physical strength is him, for whom can he live and live, she almost doesn't use any strength, but she is like a worm, and she doesn't want to get up at all and doesn't want to move?

Belch...... When you think of these, you can't help but think of some blushing and heartbeat shots. Someone who is inexperienced, his cheeks instantly turn red into happy eggs!

Frowning and muttering a few times, silently scolding for a while, the girls heard the movement and raised the curtains, Qiu Chen had to regain his spirits, restrained the childish expression on his face, and got up along with the girls' service dressing.

His legs were very sore, and Qiu Chen could only move slowly and walk into the clean room little by little. She was afraid that the girls would see through the jokes, and she tried hard to restrain her solemn expression, but she didn't know that her crumbling and slowly moving gait, the girls had no experience and maybe didn't know the way, but they couldn't hide the eyes of the experienced mothers-in-law.

Chen and Wang were on duty today, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both showed a relieved smile.

It can be seen that the Hou Ye is really fond of his wife, with this favor, as long as the lady can conceive a child as soon as possible and give birth to a little son, the lady will really stand firm in the Liangguo Mansion or in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and in another two or three years, even if the Hou Ye has a newcomer and a child to rely on, Mrs. is not afraid of those newcomers competing for favor.

After the joy, watching Qiu Chen move his steps with difficulty, Chen was inevitably a little worried. Although Mrs. is not the first marriage, but after all, she has been seriously ill and injured before, and she has lived alone for several years, and this body is also delicate...... In that case, if it affects fertility, it will be a big deal.

As soon as his thoughts turned, Chen decisively instructed Wang: "Go to the front yard to find Qin Li, they will give them an order, let them go to Baishiqiao and ask Mr. Mu to come over to the house, and see the ...... for his wife."

Being able to be selected by Qin Zheng to serve Qiu Chen, the Wang family is naturally not stupid, as soon as he heard Chen's words, he understood the key point, agreed again and again, took a step back, turned around and hurriedly went to the second gate.

Qin Zheng is in the Hou Mansion, although Qin Yi and his guards don't have to follow all, they will also arrange people to serve at the second gate every day, so that Qin Zheng or Qiu Chen can go out, and they can serve at any time!

The reason for Qiu Chen's consultation, Wang naturally didn't want to tell Qin Yi and them, and only said that he would ask Mr. Mu to come over to see his wife.

It was Qin Yong and Qin Xiao who were on duty, and when they heard this, they became worried: "Madam is sick?" ”

Wang Shi was willing to explain anything to him, and only vaguely agreed: "Madame is a little uncomfortable...... Don't make a noise, hurry up and invite Mr. Mu over! ”

What do you say...... If you think about the worst, it's a terrible emergency!

Qin Yong has followed Qiu Chen for more than two years, and his feelings are by no means comparable to others, so without saying a word, he explained to Qin Xiao, went to the gate to lead a horse, flew on the horse, and galloped towards the direction of Baishi Bridge.

Qin Yong's action was a little bigger, which inevitably aroused the curiosity of the second gate and the gate. After more than 100 years, these servants have married each other and multiplied, not only the number of servants has increased several times, but they have long been related to each other, forming an intricate and complex relationship. Moreover, after more than 100 years of training and familiarity, these servants have long been familiar with various ways of survival.

The door is on duty, but it is an errand to usher in, far away from the masters, no face, no words, originally not a good errand, but after a long time of pondering, the door also figured out a set of ways to survive that belong to them.

The door of the gate is the first layer of receiving foreign guests, although Qin Xiuyi, the Duke of Liang Guo, said that he is a little romantic, but he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he has some real power, and it is inevitable that there will be people who come to the door to climb the relationship and run the doorway. The Duke of Liangguo is a noble family, so it is inevitable to interact with the noble clan in the capital, and even the nouveau riche officials, the nouveau riche officials are okay, most of them don't have much family background, but those noble clans are very generous, and they are generally used to reward the door with silver bills, and even gold leaves and golden melon seeds. The last one a day is not much higher than their monthly silver.

The second gate is different, the second door receives most of the female dependents, of course, it is also the only place for their female dependents to contact with the outside. It is rare for female relatives to come to the door to reward the door, and there is something to do with the inside and outside of their house, but it can often become sought-after news.

For example, Mama Wang, who is next to the new grandmother, sent someone out in a hurry early in the morning, when Mama Wang explained to Qin Yong and Qin Xiao for instructions, she would naturally avoid people's ears and eyes, but the people on the door could see something from Qin Yong's expression and behavior, thinking that they had grasped the big thing, after Mama Wang left, she inquired with Qin Xiao who stayed behind for a few words to no avail, Qin Xiao was the person next to the Hou Ye after all, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but they were all holding back their strength, just waiting for Qin Yong to come back.

Since it was the eldest grandmother who ordered her to go out, it was naturally not the end of the day. Regardless of what's wrong, you have to come back, and when the time comes, even if they watch from afar, they will definitely be able to see some clues.

There are four mothers-in-law on duty today on the second door, one of them, Mrs. Liu, surnamed Liu, is the most obedient, at this time, a pair of small glasses are dripping and turning, secretly shining, calculating what to do, in order to snatch the errand after Qin Yong came back......

After pondering for a while, Mrs. Liu said to the other three with a smile on her face: "It's early in the morning, I just took over and didn't have many errands, so the old sisters should take turns to eat something in the kitchen!" The former uncle is newly married, and it is festive and lively, but it has also broken up our old bones...... I came home that night for the past few days, but I fell asleep with my head next to the pillow, and I slept all night, and I couldn't get up in the morning, and I didn't even bother to eat...... Alas, age is unforgiving! ”

The other mothers-in-law didn't know if they had seen through Mrs. Liu's Xiao Jiujiu, and one of them casually echoed: "Yes, the age is not forgiving, since I was forty, this body is not as good as one day by day!" ”

The other two mothers-in-law were a little younger, but in their early thirties, but they only smiled and echoed the sighs of the two mothers-in-law, and did not talk.

Mrs. Liu looked at this situation, thinking that it would not work to send the three of them away, so she said in a low voice: "Since you are not hungry, I will go by myself, you keep an eye on it, if someone from Hanlian Garden comes to check the value, you will say that I went to the latrine, and I will support some of them!" ”

This sentence, the other three people agreed very happily, and comforted Mrs. Liu one after another, although they went to the kitchen to eat slowly, they were on top of it.

Mrs. Liu smiled and pretended to bow her knees to the three people, and walked out of the gatehouse with a smile, sticking to the corridor inside the second gate, avoiding the eyes and ears everywhere, all the way to the big kitchen on the west side of the second gate.
