readx; It is approaching the wax moon, and the cold air fills the heavens and the earth. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info looked out from the Star Tower, and the eyes were full of gloom. A large area of red plum in the west of the crystal pond is picking up a faint red mist. It was a delicate bud waiting for the white snow of midwinter.

Qin Nanxi looked at the plum color, and Xiao Luomei had already stepped into the warm pavilion.

"Sister-in-law is so fast, I just came to report that my sister-in-law has arrived at the door of the house!" Qin Nanxi turned around to greet him and saluted.

Xiao Luomei just took off her hood, and saw a plate of fiery red and fresh tangerines on the case, and laughed: "No matter how fast it is, it's not as fast as my sister's brother Yi!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Qin Nanxi get up, and Xi Yingying continued: "I received a letter from your brother yesterday, and brought two baskets of tangerines together, and he also specially instructed that it was for you, let me send them." It seems that I am afraid that I will steal one. ”

Qin Nanxi's face turned red, pulled Xiao Luomei to sit down, picked out the two largest tangerines on the plate and put them in the palm of her hand and said, "Brother Yi brought it, and it only arrived this morning." I sent someone to take it to my sister-in-law's place, but I should have missed it on the way. ”

Xiao Luomei smiled and took off a tangerine in her hand, kneading it gently, and said, "It's almost the root, and there are a lot of things in the house." I also borrowed the name of giving oranges, and came to my sister to hide for a while. It will take a few days for your brother to come back. I also took the opportunity to hide and be lazy! ”

Qin Nanxi smiled: "Isn't it already a class teacher?" Thinking about the coming year, they will come back. My sister-in-law couldn't hide for many days. ”

Xiao Luomei said: "If your brother Yi is alone, he will naturally come back quickly." But this time your brother injured his leg, and the general must have to walk more slowly to take care of his injury. ”

Qin Nanxi said: "What is my brother's injury? Brother Yi's family letter said that he was injured by a rebel disguised soldier when he went to Zhao'an? ”

Xiao Luomei nodded, lowered her eyelids to contain the worry in her heart, and said calmly: "I heard that at that time, he was injured to protect that Mr. Dongfang Hiroyuki!" He is a weak scholar, where can he go to the battlefield, but fortunately, there is no danger this time. As he spoke, he sighed slightly, and said, "You also know that your brother is extremely stubborn. Earlier, he had advised him not to invite himself to go south to ask for any envoys, but where would he listen to me! ”

Qin Nanxi understood her worries and helplessness, held Xiao Luomei's hand, and smiled as if to make amends for her brother: "Brother is like this, over the years, thanks to your sister-in-law, you are used to him and always follow his wishes." Even if he was wronged, he couldn't bear it. I'm really wronged by my sister-in-law! ”

Xiao Luomei held Qin Nanxi's fingertips and smiled softly: "Between husband and wife, where can I talk about this." He is such a person, after all these years of hard work, he finally saw the peace of the world, if he was not allowed to personally participate in this henchman civil strife, he would definitely have trouble sleeping. Let him be, as long as he comes back well. ”

While the sister-in-law was talking, they saw Wen'er coming in from outside. The little girl got up again, a set of etiquette and lines of dignified and thoughtful, and the reply was also clear and neat, "Mrs. Bing, the former butler Ye came to ask, saying that among the New Year's goods sent by the Northern Army, there are twelve roe deer and deer, eight badgers and musk deer, six yellow sheep, four snow foxes and fire foxes, and a jade horse. ”

Xiao Luomei looked at the delicate and delicate lines of flowers in front of her, and smiled silently.

Qin Nanxi responded: "That jade horse was specially sent by Brother Yi to them. It was a New Year's gift to the Duke of Jingguo, and it was sent to the stable for the time being, so that it could be fed raw. The rest is divided into three parts, one from the heir's mansion and one from the brother's mansion, and they will be sent now. A portion of the house is sent to the kitchen, and they will cook it. ”

"Yes" Wen'er nodded in agreement, bowed again, took a few steps back, and quietly went out the door.

Xiao Luomei looked out of the door and said with a smile: "Nan Xi is getting better and better at teaching people!" This little girl is smart and obedient, and her appearance is handsome and beautiful. What a lovely person! ”

Qin Nanxi smiled: "Sister-in-law still doesn't know me? Where am I going to train my subordinates? This girl is the son of the family in this house, and she was picked up by Steward Ye's right-hand man. ”

Xiao Luomei couldn't help but be slightly suspicious when she heard her say this. Since she was a child, she has followed her mother-in-law to and from this former county prince's mansion often, and her understanding of this mansion is only afraid that it is more than Qin Nanxi.

After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't remember that there was such an outstanding child in this house.

With a slight frown, Xiao Luomei asked quietly: "This girl is good, but the name Wen'er really doesn't look like a subordinate who serves her sister." It's too casual, where is it a name? What is her last name? Why didn't my sister choose a new name for her? ”

Qin Nanxi shook her head disappreciably and said, "Her surname....I really haven't asked about this." It's just a name, it's just a call on weekdays, it's just a good mouth, and it doesn't matter whether it's in line with it or not. Since Xuerui went, Qin Nanxi no longer had that intimate desire to serve the people around her, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Xiao Luomei nodded, thinking that maybe she was just being too careful, so she brushed this matter away. turned to smile and said: "I heard that this jade skull is the war horse breed of the general's cavalry battalion. The general personally picked it for Brother Chong must be a divine horse. Their brothers are now more and more harmonious. ”

Qin Nanxi lowered her head and peeled off the fiery red tangerine in her hand, in the sweet aroma, her smile was also full of satisfaction: "Yes!" Situ Chong has always wanted to have a jade horse like a 'stepping goose'. Brother Yi felt sorry for him and was sad and depressed, so he gave an explanation to the Northern Army, and when the New Year's gift came, he sent him a horse at the same time. ”

Xiao Luomei deliberately avoided her aunt Xiao Yi and didn't mention it, but only smiled and said: "The general loves his younger brother so much, and the old prince must be very pleased to know it." ”

"It's true that Brother Yi loves Situ Chong, and it is also very important for Situ Chong to protect Brother Yi. The two of them are really brothers, friends and brothers! Qin Nanxi said with a smile. Situ Chong was her childhood playmate. Their brothers are harmonious, and she is happy and happy.

Xiao Luomei looked at the pleasure on Qin Nanxi's face and quietly swallowed the doubts in her heart.

Situ Chong is her own cousin, the child has been gentle and quiet since he was a child, and he always looks like he is willing to obey others.

But Xiao Luomei remembered it clearly. Many years ago, a little finch flew into the Duchess's bedroom by mistake. Because the servants were chasing after him too closely, the finch was frightened, and when she fled, she pecked at the old lady's forehead. Later, Situ Chong, who was only six years old at the time, actually plucked the feathers of the little finch alive with his own hands, and finally threw it into boiling water to boil it, which was considered to relieve his hatred......

Situ Chong has been extremely protective of his mother since he was a child. And the serious illness and death of the Duchess of Guo are all related to Situ Yi's elimination of the Xiao family's forces, did Situ Chong really let go of the Xiao family's resentment towards Situ Yi like this?

"Madam, the Duke of Jingguo is here, and he is waiting in the hall!" Xiao Luomei was distracted, and Wen'er's voice rang out again.

"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao! What is he sending today? Qin Nanxi smiled and glanced at Xiao Luomei and said.

With that, the two sisters-in-law got up and went to the front hall together.

Situ Chong in the hall is still dressed in plain clothes, with no ornaments all over his body. There was still a piece of plain linen sewn on the corner of the clothes. In addition to the 100-day heat and filial piety, except for the mansion of the eldest brother Situ Yi, he did not go anywhere else.

When the three of them saw the ceremony, they heard Situ Chong say: "The tenants in the house over there rented and sent an old ginseng." I looked fine, so I sent it to my eldest brother. ”

Qin Nanxi said with a smile: "A few days ago, your eldest brother sighed that you regarded this place as a treasure trove, but if you get anything good, you hurriedly send it here!" In just a few months, almost all of the bamboo pith sake, solitary books, rouge kites, vases and caidian were delivered in person. I just sent a lot of ejiao the day before yesterday, and today is mountain ginseng, and if it goes on like this, tomorrow, I will count on Dongzhu! ”

Situ Chong only smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "These are not big things, there must be piles of them in the eldest brother's mansion." It's just that these days the eldest brother is marching south, and the huge mansion has to be taken care of by the sister-in-law, and I am a little uneasy, so I excused myself to come and see if the sister-in-law is here, what needs my help. ”

Xiao Luomei watched coldly from the sidelines, staring at Situ Chong's eyes, the fog was hazy.

Seeing that Situ Chong seemed to be looking at her, he hurriedly joked to cover up: "Brother Chong is eccentric, and the intimacy is really thorough." The eldest brother is a relative, and the cousin is an outsider. Your cousin-in-law went on the expedition with the general, why didn't you come to the mansion to see your cousin? ”

Situ Chong's white and handsome face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly got up to make amends: "Cousin's atonement, it was Chong'er's negligence, sister and brother, it is the same in Chong'er." It's just that my cousin has always taken care of the family affairs and is in charge of her own, not only my brother-in-law is relieved, but we are all at ease. ”

Xiao Luomei just took the opportunity to cover up, and when she saw that he was cramped, she didn't mention it.

The three of them gossiped for a while, Situ Chong got up and resigned, and Xiao Luomei still had affairs at home, so she also got up to leave.

Qin Nanxi was not easy to keep, so he sent the two out.

The three of them are side-by-side, idly outward. Situ Chong, who had been silent, saw the steps in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised......

Suddenly, Qin Nanxi was unsteady under his feet, he was stumbled, his body shook suddenly, and he fell forward.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Luomei and Situ Chong reached out to help.

Situ Chong took a quick step and held Qin Nanxi by the waist.

Helping her stand firmly, Situ Chong's heart was full of anxiety and concern, and his eyes were already stained. The words were also full of concern, and there were some affectionate complaints: "Nanxi, where did you get hurt?" Why are you still like this? From childhood to adulthood, it's like this, a smooth road, but you will fall for no reason! ”

He seems to have forgotten to call her sister-in-law in a hurry, and he seems to have forgotten the bamboo horse Qingmei of the two, which is the biggest taboo.

As he spoke, his surroundings fell into a strange silence and embarrassment.

Qin Nanxi's face turned red, and he quietly twisted away and pulled away from the palm he was holding.

Xiao Luomei clasped her hands together, staring at the two of them with an incredible gaze revealing deep doubts.

Behind several people, the attendants all lowered their heads. There are only lines, although the sharpened chin is buried in the neckline, but the big shining eyes are constantly secretly sweeping over Situ Chong and Qin Nanxi.

I saw a strange smile flying over the corner of Situ Chong's mouth. The smile seemed to be triumphant because of something. The gloomy rhyme in it is incompatible with his anxious tone. It's like a surging dark tide under calm waters.
