Chapter 598: Spring is coming

I delayed the update, and I bow and apologize to my relatives.

My daughter is on vacation and will go back to accompany my old lady. Every time I see it, I seem to be older, it's really uncomfortable, and I'm willing to spend a little longer.

------Off topic------

When Emperor Invegu's physical condition was deteriorating every day, such a choice undoubtedly showed Wang Yi's attitude, and he supported Yang Jingfang, the fourth prince of the current Empress Xu!

Wang Yi is the secretary of the Criminal Department and Wang Jingshu's father. The second son of the Wang family married the Miss Qinghua of the Zhao family, on the other hand, it can also be seen that Wang Yi threw himself into the Fuwang faction!

That night, Qin Zheng turned back a little earlier than usual, had dinner, and after practicing, when only the husband and wife were left in the room, Qin Zheng said one thing to Qiu Chen: "Wang Yi's second son married Zhao Guogong's family!" ”

Tea and wine are indispensable for family gifts, and Qiu Chen's words undoubtedly gave Qiu Ruyi a clear hint. Qiu Ruyi was happy in his heart, his face was full of shyness and joy, and he agreed more and more respectfully, leaving his post without mentioning it.

After thinking about it this time, Qiu Chen can be regarded as having made up his mind. On this day, finally as Qiu Ruyi wished, in the name of the top of the female red list, he took a red gold treasure hairpin for Qiu Ruyi to save in his hair. When Qiu Ruyi said goodbye, Qiu Chen shook her hand with a smile: "Go back and tell your mother that I got a little new tea here, and I'll send some to your mother another day!" ”

Qiu Ruyi's father, Qiu Xiangtai, was appointed as the Taichang Temple Cheng and was in charge of the temple etiquette, although he had no affiliation with the Ministry of Rites, but his responsibilities were related. Qiu Xiangtai is a two-list Jinshi background, it is said that the literary style is excellent, the character is noble, not good at flattery and handover, but also does not make enemies, if Junshu is married to the Qiu family, there are some constraints on some uninhibited Junshu.

Qiu Chen's mind turned a few times, remembering the correspondence with his eldest brother before the Chinese New Year, and secretly made a decision. Since Junwen has a relationship, Junshu's kid doesn't...... Compared with Junwen, who is a little too rigid, Junshu, who is flexible and flexible, is still good to be able to marry such a wife.

Although this girl is not from a high background, she can really be called a small family jasper, respectful and humble, and always maintains her own principles, neither humble nor arrogant...... If such a woman marries back, it may not be big enough to be a clan wife, but it is very good to be a wife, and filial piety to the elderly and raising children must be very good.

However, after more than a year of contact, the more Qiu Chen learned about this girl's character, the more he liked it.

Qiu Chen saw Qiu Ruyi, who had cleaned up, and after his eyes lit up, he couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw the little girl's thin clothes. At the beginning, her intimate proximity undoubtedly gave this girl a hope, but by mistake, because Junwen saw Wang Jingshu, her plan was disappointed, and Qiu Ruyi's hopes were almost naΓ―ve.

Qiu Chen greeted him at the door of the Magnolia Pavilion, and then the girls brought in by the mothers-in-law, Qiu Ruyi came not early or late, and when he came to the Yulan Pavilion more than a dozen steps in front of him, he raised a calm and gentle smile.

A sky blue gown embroidered with delicate and beautiful begonia flowers, an ivory-colored pleated floor-length skirt, and a little light blue thread embroidery on the soft satin fabric, which is beautiful and elegant. With his white and red face and crow's black and soft hair, he couldn't tell that he was over thirty years old, even if he stood with the girls, he was not too old-fashioned at all.

After this period of busyness, the news coming back from the high palace walls became worse and worse, but Qiu Chen lost the worries of the previous year and became cheerful and calm again. The complexion is also a little better, the ruddy complexion and the tranquil and graceful bearing make her look like the fluffy forsythia, more and more vigorous and youthful.

Qiu Chen cleaned up the magnolia pavilion near the lake here, on one side of the water, you can enjoy the sparkling blue water that has just been civilized, and on the other side of the road, you can see a canopy and a cluster of golden forsythia, full of vitality and brilliant spring.

Qiu Ruyi nodded and agreed, didn't speak again, took Xiao Tao to his mother's room to quit, boarded the car and went out, all the way to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

As a personal big girl, Xiao Tao naturally understands her young lady's thoughts, and when she heard this, she immediately agreed: "Miss don't worry, it's all loaded, you have a few in your sleeve pocket, and the other few are on the slave maid, and at that time, you can take it out together." ”

Qiu's family is cold, Qiu Ruyi has nothing of value, but she has practiced a good female red, and the needlework she does makes Qiu Chen love it, and she has praised it several times. Therefore, every time Qiu Ruyi goes to Jingbei Hou's Mansion as a guest, he will always bring his carefully sewn and embroidered small objects as gifts.

Qiu Ruyi silently arranged his dress, seemed to subconsciously caress the creases on the cloak, and did not raise his eyes, only asked in a low voice: "Can those purses and fan bags be loaded?" ”

Although it is said that the family of the Beijing government pusher is well-off, how can he get the status of the Jingbei Hou Mansion. Even if it is just a young master, supported by the Marquis of Jingbei and the county lord of Anning, it is much stronger than the six-rank pusher. What's more, the young masters of the Jingbei Hou Mansion have all seen them, not to mention their outstanding character, their character is also excellent, and they already have the status of a showman, and it is said that they will be examined in the autumn of this year...... As long as you pass the guΓ² test, with the support of the marquis and the county lord, you will not be able to enter the government in the future.

She knew that if her young lady made the last effort, if she couldn't let Mrs. Jingbei Hou say a word this time, their young lady would only be able to comply with the old lady's wishes and marry the son of the Beijing Mansion who had not learned countless things.

Xiao Tao glanced at the young lady hurriedly, only lowered her eyes, and swallowed back more persuasion.

Qiu Ruyi lowered his eyes and looked at the spring clothes on his body, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's cold to sit in the car on the road, when you go to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. is always comfortable and warm, how can it really be frozen!" ”

The girl Xiaotao put on a cloves-colored crepe thread embroidered cloak for her, and while sorting out Qiu Ruyi's dress, she said with some worry: "Miss, although it is February, it is still cold, your clothes look good, I'm afraid it's too thin......"

Qiu Ruyi wore a long-sleeved shirt embroidered with white pearls and plum blossoms in willow green on this day, and a one-piece lilac-colored pleated dress inside.

After a month, the Female Red Cooking Club once again gathered in the back garden of the Hou Mansion in Jingbei. This time it was Wang Jingshu who was the east, but Qiu Chen, as the landlord and Wang Jingshu's righteous sister, naturally greeted him thoughtfully and thoughtfully.

The forsythia in the back garden has begun to bloom, and the golden flowers are strung together in a bunch, and then gathered into a canopy and a clump, forming the earliest scenery in early spring.

On this day, the second day of February, the lakes and rivers were civilized and the sun was getting warmer.

Before, Qin Zheng agreed with Qiu Chen that the day of sending their mother and son out of Beijing was also approaching. However, these days, Qin Zheng has been busy going out early and returning late, even though it is close to February, he has not mentioned the matter of sending Qiu Chen's mother and son away.

If so, I hurried to the New Year's Eve, and then hurried past the first month, and February came, and the spring color became thicker.

Qiu Chen took Aman and his mother-in-law to pack up all the treasures in the treasury of the house, packed them, mixed them in the purchased vehicles one after another, sent them to the workshop, and shipped them to Anyang with the goods.

After Zhixian Zhide returned to the Jingbei Hou Mansion, Ah Fu had many playmates, and almost every day he would greet Zhixian Zhide and the Tang brothers to get together, talk about articles or go out to meet friends, Qiu Chen was not restrained by them, he always brought silver taels to the children, and arranged for the accompanying guards to guard carefully, and gradually, a group of half-grown children made a certain name in the capital.

Yi Heng took his two sons to have dinner in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, Qiu Chen mentioned Yi Heng a little during the period, said goodbye and returned to the Shao family, and secretly sent the companion room to buy some pigs and beef pickled meat, and reminded the second son of the Shao family, Shao Ziyan, to be careful, so as not to cause trouble.

At the end of the day, the aunts and grandmothers returned happily, and Qiu Chen also took the two brothers Zhixian and Zhide, as well as Yiheng's mother and son, resigned from Mrs. Li and returned to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

Lunch was divided into two places for men and women, Li took his aunts and aunts to gather in one place, around two tables, Aman brought Yu'er, and beckoned the group of ladies to also get together for two tables, Qiu Chen watched people set up the wine and food for the elders, and took care of the girls' tables, so he retreated by himself, went to the second warm pavilion, washed his hands, and ate the dishes prepared by the girls slowly and methodically, drank a cup of tea and took a short break, and then returned to the banquet to say hello.

Listening to everyone's praise in his ears, looking at the sad eyes that his daughter saw when she was leaving, Qiu Chen secretly smiled and lowered his eyes and held the teacup, and changed the hot tea for Mrs. Li and several elderly aunts, while smiling and humbling a few words, but the filial and courteous daughter-in-law has been ten out of ten. The vague resentful gaze that the fourth aunt saw was not forgotten at all, let alone ignored.

Aman's little girl is thoughtful, if she wasn't born as a girl, she would be smarter than her brother Afu, and she went out with Old Man Mu at a young age for many years, and she has been studying with her brother. Yes, the little girl looked like she was smiling, she was really warm and thoughtful, everyone felt that the smiling face was facing her, and even the elders, after Ah Man smiled and confessed, couldn't help but praise them repeatedly.

Aman was a little surprised, she was too lazy to entertain this group of old girls, so she wanted to pull Yu'er to hide in a clean place to play. But seeing that Mrs. Li pushed these dozen people to her with a word, and then looked at her mother-in-law in a blink of an eye, Qiu Chen just looked at her with a smile, calm and relaxed, and had no intention of breaking the siege at all.

Under this premise, the aunts and grandmothers naturally urged their girls to get close to Aman, and at one time, a dozen people ranging from seven or eight years old to teenagers all came out generously or awkwardly to greet Aman.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if it were not for special circumstances, the two generations of the Qin family would not have fallen into the power of their ancestors, and it may even be unknown if they pushed the Qin family, which has been inherited for a hundred years, to a higher level! Therefore, this aunt and aunt have to buy in front of Qiu Chen, and everything is close. Now seeing that Mrs. Li also knows the opportunity so well, she naturally sighs that Mrs. Li has learned well.

Even if the fourth aunt's wife, who was quite resentful of Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen, saw it, she couldn't feel any disgust, so she could only sigh secretly for her daughter in her heart. No wonder the nephew gave up his daughter to marry this widow, but seeing that this nephew is so good, he knows that his mother must be well-bred, not like his own daughter, and he has been married for two and a half years, and he only has a daughter, not to mention, and he is sick and weak and scorched like a cat, and he is not welcomed. What's more, the Yang family gave birth to four children in three years, three boys and one girl, that is, two boys and one girl of the triplets, none of them were damaged, and now they look chubby and fleshy without the weakness of the newborn, not to mention, they are all smart, lively, strong and cute...... People are more ...... than people There's no comparison!

The aunts and aunts who went out from the Qin family of Liang Guogong grew up in this kind of family that has been inherited for a hundred years since they were children, and naturally know these better than ordinary children. The eldest son is only twelve or thirteen years old, but he has grown into a Zhilan jade tree-like demeanor, and his words and deeds are not inferior to any of the children of a family in the capital. Although the second son Brother Yun is only two weeks old, at the age when ordinary people are still walking unsteadily, he already has a clear eye when he moves, that polite and well-behaved appearance, lined with a pink carved appearance and a milky voice, as well as a pair of clear and bright big eyes, I really love to die!

Speaking of which, only the Wei family and the Qin family have not been shaken by the century-old foundation.

Liang Guogong has been inherited for more than 100 years, and the eighteen meritorious heroes awarded at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty have declined with the passage of time and personnel changes, and now there are only six left; Just these six families, because of the decreasing number of lords, gradually disappeared the title, even if the connections still exist, they have declined. Now the Duke of Guo retains the title of Duke of Guo, but only the Wei family of the Duke of Xinguo remains. The title of the Korean Duke Xu family was originally reduced, but there was a Xu Qiong and a Queen Xu in this generation, which was re-titled, but the title was changed and became 'Zhao Guogong'.

As the saying goes, 'the first 30 years look at the father, and the last 30 years look at the son', which refers to the inheritance from generation to generation. Before the age of thirty, it will be said that it is the son of someone, and after the age of thirty, it depends on whether there is an inheritance behind him and whether the children and grandchildren are angry.

A few aunts and wives were even more secretly surprised, when did Mrs. Li, who was not on the stage, also know that she looked at people's eyebrows and eyes, and tightly held the eldest daughter-in-law? Looking at the deferential appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law, this long house gets along well with the stepmother of the Li family, and has a close relationship!

Cuiye and Feiyun are both girls by Mrs. Li's side, Qiu Chen was still second-class when he passed the door, because in the first two years, in order to compete for favor, Mrs. Li successively gave her first-class big girl Pearl and Coral to Qin Xiuyi to make a room, and Cuiye and Feiyun were promoted to first-class big girls. As soon as Mrs. Li made a move, she pointed out two first-class girls to call Aman, and everyone in the room was somewhat surprised.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The girls are young, and they are inevitably restrained in front of us. Mrs. Li smiled brightly, smiled and beckoned to Aman, motioned for the little girl to come forward, and then said with a smile, "You are a sensible and good boy, you are the master today, and your cousins and cousins are guests when they arrive at our house, so you can take good care of them for me." Well...... Let Cuiye and Feiyun follow you, and use whatever you want, even if you tell them to. ”

In a word, Mrs. Li successfully woke up, and also rounded her gaffe just now, Mrs. Li naturally restrained the resentment on her face, put on a smiling face, and looked at the room full of aunts and grandmothers and smiled: "Everyone just knows my mind ......" This sentence seems to be a compliment, but it also faintly pulls a lot of hatred to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen sat down with Mrs. Li just now, and naturally saw the changes in her expression clearly, as soon as she heard that Mrs. Li's words were wrong, she knew that the two little girls were angry, so she interrupted Mrs. Li's words with a smile and said: "Madame, I hate that the juniors are all gathered under her knees to be happy!" ”

As soon as Aman pulled Yu'er to leave, Mrs. Li was a little annoyed, and she didn't raise her eyes and said, "The girl's family should stay by the elders......"

Speaking of which, as a lady in the main room, I always feel awkward when I see the children in the house full of children. Yes, although there was still a smile on his face at this time, he was a little resentful in his heart, and when Ah Fu retreated with a group of boys, Qin Xiuyi also got up and went to the front yard, and the smile on Mrs. Li's face couldn't be maintained, so she put it down.

Afu Aman is not a member of the Qin family, and it is related to Qin Zheng's heart knot for Mrs. Li, so the two brothers and sisters also followed their mothers, calling Mrs. Li Mrs. and Qin Xiuyi as grandfather. Although Qin Xiuyi is pretentious and acts a little absurdly, no matter how he treats Brother Yun or Afu Aman's children, he has nothing to say that he deserves this title.

Yi Xuan was far away in Changqing, and she was pregnant, so she couldn't rush back. The two sons were virtuous, but instead of their mothers, they came to visit at home. With Yiheng's kid and Zhen Hetian, as well as Brother Afu and Amanyun, they haven't seen each other for a few days, and they are all affectionate, and they salute and greet the elders, and then hug them. Aman took Yu'er a step behind, and also said goodbye to Mrs. Li: "Old lady, Xiaojie will also take her sister down to play for a while!" ”

Qiu Chen had no close relatives in the capital, but he became a good sister-in-law, and returned to the Guogong Mansion in the second year of junior high school, and followed Mrs. Li to entertain the married aunts and grandmothers. And because Zhao Yuzhen was a newlywed for a year, Qiu Chen added a sentence on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Li family took the initiative to speak, asking Qin Yao to accompany Zhao Yuzhen back to his mother's house, and the six-color table prepared by Mrs. Li was very neat. Qiu Chen couldn't help but nod secretly, although Mrs. Li didn't have any means, and sometimes she was a little indifferent in doing things and talking, but she was really not bad in her heart, and she also took face seriously, and she refused to fall behind in entertainment.

Because of the New Year's Day incident, this year's social banquets and drinks are less, such as non-essential relatives walking around or celebrating birthdays, no one is still feasting at this time, and no one wants to be too ostentatious at this time to attract people's eyes.
