Qin Zhen is reading with his son in the Wind Lotus Pavilion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is thick shade on three sides outside the pavilion, and there is ice in the pavilion to go to the heat. Therefore, although the sun was scorching on this day, it was not very hot in the wind and lotus pavilion.

In this kind of weather, people are very easy to be lazy and tired, and she has been lying on the collapse shortly after she has finished her lunch.

The summer days were long, and she felt that she had been lying down for a long time, and when she sat up and looked out, the scorching sun was still in the sky, only slightly slanting to the west.

His son Song Yunxi was reading at the desk, looking at his preoccupied appearance, Qin Zhen suddenly thought of his second brother Qin Chong. When he was in the Qin Mansion, he studied so tirelessly in winter and summer. Summer practice, winter practice, I don't know if he has complained in his heart.

picked up the fan at hand and quietly walked to his son's side. I don't know if it's because of too much hard work, although there is a maid fanning the wind, but Song Yunxi still has small beads of sweat on his forehead, shining with a faint light.

Qin Zhen covered his mouth and smiled, took out his silk scarf again, wiped the fine sweat for him personally, and then said softly: "Xi'er, are you tired?" After reading the book for so long, it's time to rest. ”

Song Yunxi raised his little head buried in the book and said sensibly: "The child is not tired, today's homework has not been completed, and the child still wants to watch it for a while." ”

Qin Zhen gently stroked his thin shoulder, "Today, the concubine will allow you to rest, and we will go to see your second uncle together." ”

"Is this the case? It looks like it's still hot outside. ”

"I'll go later, I'll get you some black plum licorice soup first."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Princess."

After drinking the chilled black plum licorice soup, Qin Zhen took Song Yunxi and Huiru to Xifu Lane to visit Qin Chong in a carriage. But Qin Chong was not at home at this time, and the housekeeper said that he went to Xinheng to check the accounts of the previous month, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

Qin Zhen had no choice but to turn to Xinheng again.

On the way, Song Yunxi opened the curtain from time to time to look at the street. A child of his age is still curious about everything outside after all.

"Mother, Aunt Hui, look at the sisters on the road, there are a lot of butterflies on their clothes."

When Qin Zhen and Huiru heard him say this, they also looked out of the car.

As Song Yunxi said, among the women walking under the eaves on the side of the street, several of them have a lot of butterfly-like patterns on their clothes, and other girls and women can also see this thing more or less.

Qin Zhen and Song Yunxi usually don't go out of the house, and they all take a car and a sedan chair when they go out of the house, so they don't know that this thing has been blooming all over the place recently.

"What is that, I haven't seen it before, is it a new trick?" Qin Zhen asked as if talking to himself.

Hui Ru said: "When I went out a few days ago, I also saw two girls wearing similar things around their waists, I thought they did it at will, so I didn't care, but I didn't expect it to be everywhere in the capital." I don't know where it came from? ”

The three of them talked about this strange clothing, and after a while, they arrived at Xinhengdang.

Qin Chong was checking the accounts in the shop at that time, and when he saw his sister and nephew coming, he hurriedly came out to welcome them to the back room.

"Sister, Xi'er, it's so hot, why are you here?"

"I just miss you, come and have a look, don't disturb your business, right?"

"It's okay, it's pretty much done."

Qin Zhen looked at him carefully, "Second brother, you seem to have lost some weight." ”

Qin Chong looked down at himself left and right, "Oh, I didn't find it myself, maybe it's because I've been too busy recently." ”

"No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, I see that you lack a careful person to take care of you."

After Qin Zhen said that, he thought of the fact that his younger brother had not married so far, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Alas, my sister can't tell you every day like she used to do in the Qin Mansion, I'm afraid you're often too busy to sleep and eat."

Speaking of the old times, Qin Chong also had a lot of feelings.

At that time, the two of them were studying together, and if Qin Chong's homework was not as good as his father wanted, his father would punish him, and Qin Zhen had to secretly help him every time. He was not allowed to eat, and she stole some food; punished him for copying books, and she picked up the lamp at night to help him copy it, causing her handwriting to be very similar to his.

Although Qin Chong put away the food and the things she copied every time and didn't eat or use them, Qin Zhen still insisted on helping. Maybe she can't forget how their eldest brother died, so she doesn't want her only brother to go down that path again.

Qin Chong shook his head helplessly, don't think about these things too much.

"Sister don't worry, I'll pay attention to it myself. At this time, I was busy, and many other things were handled by the treasurers everywhere for me. ”

Qin Zhen sighed and said: "That's it, don't always bow down to everything, some things should be put down." Your current net worth is enough for you to be stable in this life, and you should put more effort into yourself. ”

On the surface, he was persuading Qin Chong to let go of his business, but in fact he was persuading him to let go of the past, but everyone was reluctant to mention the events of the past, so he could only say it vaguely.

Qin Chong didn't want to excuse much, so he replied "yes", and said, "How are my sister and Xi'er doing lately?" I heard that the prince is not going to court behind closed doors, does he stay in the palace every day? ”

"Our mother and son are still the same, and I accompany Xi'er every day. The prince is not just idle in the mansion every day, and occasionally goes out. In recent days, I went to Xiangguo Temple to stay temporarily, and there happened to be a Buddhist lecture there. ”

Qin Zhong said with regret: "Even the prince has begun to talk about Buddhism."

Qin Zhen said: "This is also a helpless move."

"Are my sister and the prince better?" Although Qin Chong's face was calm, there was a lot of concern in his words.

Qin Zhen glanced at him, buried his head and whispered, "It's still the same." The number of etiquette that husband and wife should have and the number of etiquette that should not be there are very thorough, and they are really respectful of each other, but respect but alienation. ”

Since the poisoning of the princess in the palace, King Ding's attitude towards Qin Zhen has slowly become strange. Although she was later corrected, the love between the husband and wife was not as good as before. King Ding no longer favors other concubines, as if he is in the red dust but detached from the world, he only works for state affairs, and puts down his children's affection.

For a long time, Qin Chong felt very guilty about this matter, he didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him. not only caused Song Yunchen to lose his close relatives, but also caused Qin Zhen to lose her husband's favor.

However, he didn't regret it, at least he protected his sister. It's just that he was too naïve at the time, and he shouldn't have replaced the soup, so that it wouldn't cause accidental killing.

The sister and brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have talked a lot about homely things. Song Yunxi sat beside him for a long time, and he couldn't sit still, so he took advantage of the gap between the two of them to ask Qin Zhen: "Mother and uncle, you talk, Xi'er and Aunt Hui go out to have a look, is it okay?"

Qin Zhong smiled: "It seems that Xi'er is sitting too stuffy, why don't you let Huiru take him out for a walk."

Qin Zhen said: "Okay, you guys go, bring the guards, you still have to be careful outside." Don't go too far, it's still a little hot here, and it's a bit of a heat stroke. ”

"Yes, Xi'er remembers."
