Qingtong didn't sleep steadily, and he didn't go to the main courtyard after waking up in the morning. I washed up directly in the study, and I didn't delay, I changed into an official uniform and went to work. There is still a sponge-like stuff in my heart, and my breathing is not so smooth, and the morning scene of the streets and alleys of the capital is no longer in my eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered something again, and said to He Sheng: "Today, the Zhou family sent someone to our house, you say hello to your wife, and ask the housekeeper to settle down." ”

"Yes, sir, but who is it? The slave made it clear to his wife. He Sheng asked.

Qingtong said: "You all know each other, the girl of the Feng family." Stay in the house, count as an aunt. ”

He Sheng hesitated: "This matter of taking a concubine, can the master say hello to his wife?" ”

Qingtong didn't care: "She must have no opinion on adding a room." ”

In this way, He Sheng had nothing else to say, so he had to write it down. Thinking about sending Qingtong to the palace, he went back to report the matter.

After explaining the matter of Feng Yu, Qingtong met Zhao Yan, so they ate breakfast together, but the brows were still slightly locked, and they didn't look comfortable. Zhao Yan naturally saw that her face was wrong, and asked intentionally: "Something on your mind?" ”

Qingtong bit the bun, chewed it all the time, and swallowed it before saying, "It's okay." "Emotional matters are mixed with such confidential things, and anyone who asks can't say it.

Zhao Yan looked at her and saw that she didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more.

The two didn't talk much, and when they walked to the Ouchi Zuo Gate, Qingtong suddenly stopped and said, "What do you think of the emperor?" ”

Zhao Yan had already guessed that Qingtong's face was not because of last night's banquet, but because of the people he met later. He didn't ask much, but said: "Diligent, just a few years on the throne, extraordinary political achievements, is a Ming monarch." ”

Qing Tong nodded, and without saying anything else, she raised her steps and walked inside. After taking two steps, he asked again: "What do you think about the fact that there are too few concubines in the harem and the heirs are thin?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "This is the nature of human beings, since ancient times, there are lustful people, and there are also lovers, it all depends on the individual." But when it comes to emperors, heirs are not trivial, and they are naturally more cautious than us ordinary people. It is related to the great cause of the family and the country, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. ”

"Exactly." Qingtong nodded again, resigned from Zhao Yan, and the two went in separate directions.

When he arrived at office, Qing Tong hid the ugly look on his face, just as usual. After a day's rest, when she came to work, everyone came up to greet her. She was the second newcomer in the Hanlin Academy to see the emperor, and she met alone, so she naturally had to be embraced. Zhou Rui still came up to say something to make trouble, and suddenly mentioned Feng Yu again, and said: "I explained last night, and I will send it to your house today, I can't regret it." Nian Qing was kind, and I also sent a maid. ”

When people heard that it was the matter of the girl from the Feng family, they were puzzled and asked: "I was so reluctant before, why did the crazy person take it over now?" ”

Qingtong covered her face and pretended to be extremely regretful: "I lost my words after drinking." ”

Zhou Rui was proud: "Raw melons and eggs, you have to practice well, otherwise how can you eat them in the future?" ”

"Yes...... Qingtong responded, "There should always be half a point like Brother Zhou." ”

Talking nonsense for a while, until the interest of others has passed, they disperse to do things.

+++

But he said that He Sheng sent Qingtong to Ouchi, stayed outside for a while, bragged a few words with other minions, and spent money to eat something before returning home. was also unhurried, and went to talk to Gong Qiu about Feng Yu.

Gong Qiu was a little depressed when she heard the words, her face was not obvious, and she only asked, "Why did you suddenly pick her up again?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, the master ordered, tell the slave to inform the wife, so that there is a preparation." He Sheng said respectfully.

Gong Qiu understood, and didn't ask anymore, so he let He Sheng retreat.

As soon as He Sheng left, she called Qingyun and called the housekeeper again. The housekeeper Gong Qiuxin found was surnamed Yu, and the family was called the housekeeper. It turned out to be an experienced master, and it would be easy to invite it. Gong Qiu is a person selected according to the eyes of his own people, and most of them are still reliable. Even if she is unreliable, no one dares to toss around blindly under her, a sword-wielding person.

When Steward Yu arrived, Gong Qiu discussed with him about Feng Yu's entry into the door. The people of the Zhou family sent it over, and they were aunts in a room, so naturally they didn't need other procedures. However, where to live and how to arrange it, it is better to discuss it first. She knew that Qingtong and Feng Yu had a holiday, but in the end, she was not like others, so she really believed the rumors. Now that Qingtong wants her to come to the house, it shows that the relationship is not ordinary. Although she is an aunt, Gong Qiu thinks that she can't be too harsh. Settle down first, and wait for Qingtong to come back and deal with it herself, she won't encounter such complicated things again.

After some discussion, Gong Qiu asked Feng Yu to live in his own yard and live in the east wing. I don't know if Feng Yu has a maid by herself, and her aunt shouldn't be a maid, she just serves other people's lives. But this Feng Yu is crazy now, and this matter has to be considered. Gong Qiu didn't make a decision immediately, but said: "Let's take a look after the others enter the door to see what kind of madness they have." ”

Butler Yu answered, and went down to instruct the mother-in-law in the family to clean up the east wing of Gongqiu. Originally, no one went in, and when I moved, I cleaned it a little, and the house was already full of dust by now. If there are bedding, tea sets, cushions, etc., they must find new ones from the storeroom to add them. The curtain was also full of dust, and it was to be dismantled and a new paste to be made.

Busy for most of the day, and the wind again, look at the simple and clean, no decorative objects, but it is not a problem to live in people. It is enough for someone with the status of Feng Yu.

Qing Yan saw that his family had been busy for a long time, and somehow, he didn't dare to go to Gong Qiu to ask. In the end, I asked for peace every morning, and I didn't let this stepmother get close to me. He ran to the front yard to find He's mother and asked He's mother: "What's the matter, what's the family tossing?" ”

Mother He is pregnant and has been recuperating at home, and many things are not interfered with much. She also hopes that this baby will give birth to a child, so that she can rely on it, and she doesn't want to mix with anything else. Besides, there is a wife in this family who can handle it, and there is anything else for them to worry about?

Seeing that Qingyan came to ask, she just said: "The master has accepted a concubine, and there is an aunt to enter the door!" ”

"Auntie? Who is it? Qing Yan stood in front of her, looking at her suspiciously.

Mother He flipped through the flower belly pocket in her hand, which was embroidered with magpies on the branches, and said, "Brother also knows, the girl surnamed Feng who took you and Sister Qing out to play before." ”

"Sister of the Feng family?"

"Exactly." Mother He said: "Don't you still like her very much?" It's just that this time is not as good as before, she enters the door, and you are more or less avoided. ”

"Why is that?" Qing Yan didn't understand.

Mother He sighed: "She is also a miserable person, and it was also an incident at the old man's banquet, it is said that she is crazy, I don't know what is going now." Isn't it dangerous to see you go crazy? Just avoid it. Mrs. has the ability, let her live in the same yard with his wife, very good. ”

Qing Yan didn't seem to understand, and asked, "Why are you crazy?" ”

Mother He looked at him, how could she tell him this? After all, he didn't say anything, coaxed a few words, and told him to go back to his small study to write. Qingyan didn't want to go, so she relied on Mother He, and asked her again: "Mom's belly pocket is embroidered for me?" ”

Mother He smiled and said, "Didn't I just embroider a new one for you?" This is prepared by the mother for the baby in the belly. ”

Qing Yan looked at He's mother's unchanged belly, and said unhappily: "Mom lied to me, what did he have?" It's my birthday in a few days, and my mother won't give me a gift? ”

Mother He put the embroidered belly pocket aside, pulled Qingyan into her arms, pinched his neck and said, "Brother said that if you want something, I'll get it for you." ”

Qing Yan thought for a moment: "I want to take the sword!" ”

"Ugh...... I can't get this thing, my wife has a lot of it, and you ask her if she wants to go. ”

"I don't dare ......"

Qingyan relied on He's mother to be coquettish, and she didn't leave. I heard someone outside say, "The new aunt has entered the door." He got up with He's mother and took He's mother's hand and hurriedly came out to see.

It turned out that there was a holiday, He Biqing came out of the courtyard, and did not lean on Feng Yu's side, but squeezed to He Mama Qingyan. That night, I fell into the water, and all the things were still remembered in He Biqing's head. Others blame Feng Yu, she is small, so she naturally believes what most people say.

The sedan chair from the Zhou family came in from the corner gate, and stopped at the second gate. Butler Yu and Mrs. Wu stood to pick up people, and Mother He led Qingyan and He Biqing to watch the excitement from afar.

When the sedan chair stopped, Mrs. Wu went up and opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "Girl, it's here!" ”
