Chapter 386: A Woman's Insight

It's just that Second Master Qi looked down at himself......

On Tianqing's robe, there were dots of stains, which made Second Master Qi's face darken in an instant, thinking that he had lived for almost twenty years, how could he ever be so sloppy. It's a shame that when she talked to Xie Ke just now, she was able to sit upright like that, and there was not the slightest sneer on her little face, she was serious just now, presumably in the inner room at this time, she must be laughing at him.

Although he was tired from running all morning and his robe was dirty, thinking of the longing on the faces of those people after listening to Zhou Ziqiu's words, Qi Lu felt that his hard work was still worth it. It's just ...... "Yuhui, prepare water for the master, and the master wants to bathe." "He can't stand being dirty like a mud monkey.

In the courtyard, Yuhui responded loudly.

Qi Lu took a shower happily, and then returned to the house refreshed. It's just that...... Looking at the empty inner room, Second Master Qi was very happy, wanting to cry without tears.

What about Sister Bao?

Wouldn't it be in vain for him to take a bath and change clothes, he made an appointment with Zhou Ziqiu, and he would go out after noon.

Second Master Qi was very depressed about this. At this time, Xie Ke was supported by Yuhui and walked on the path outside the courtyard.

This is the back house of the Yamen, although the place is not big, but it is not a small family. "Young grandma, Ah Jin said, the second master has already been selected, and he can start building a house after hiring a craftsman, and before winter comes, he will definitely let the young grandmother live in the new house." Yuhui remembered what her husband said at noon, and couldn't help but smile and tell Xie Ke. And it is said that the second master chose the new site in the east of the city, although it is desolate at the moment, but the second master, the city lord, moved in. Presumably, the east of the city will soon become the most lively boundary in Yecheng.

"And the second master ordered, saying that he would build a water pavilion for the young grandmother." Speaking of this water pavilion, Yuhui yearned.

You must know that Yecheng is windy and short of water, not to mention the construction of a water pavilion in the courtyard, at present, the water here is too little for food.

The second master's noon bath really made Zhou Ziqiu muttered for half an hour...... However, Zhou Ziqiu only dared to say it in front of the girl, and in front of Qi Lu, he naturally kept silent.

Xie Ke raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that man was really whimsical.

What kind of boundary is this? A water pavilion was also built...... But Qi Lu can have this idea. Xie Ke was really happy in his heart.

That person always has her in his heart, and that's enough. As for whether there is a water pavilion, Xie Ke does not force it. The master and servant walked slowly. While talking about what Yecheng had seen. Most of them are Yuhui talking. Xie Ke was listening. This is what Xie Ke instructed Yuhui to send someone to investigate, and when she first arrived in Yecheng, she always had to find out the way.

You can't act impulsively with both eyes in the dark.

When Yuhui talked about the customs of Yecheng. Mrs. Zhou shrank forward. Zhou Ziqiu had already mentioned Mrs. Zhou last night. Let her never provoke the young lady. Mrs. Zhou knew that Xie Ke was a noble lady in the capital, and she came here with her husband, and her husband was the lord of Yecheng.

That is, Zhou Ziqiu's boss. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say that the top boss is inappropriate. Because Yecheng is now a country within a country, and Qi Lu, the second master of Qi, is the lord of this 'small country'.

And this lady's identity is naturally extremely noble.

But if she didn't come to see Xie Ke, Mrs. Zhou couldn't feel at ease. She was naturally very afraid of Xie Ke in her heart, just the majesty of Xie Ke's body was enough to make Mrs. Zhou ashamed of herself, not to mention Xie Ke's beauty, but also made Mrs. Zhou stand in front of her, she couldn't stop being full of shame, she felt that standing in front of Xie Ke right now was a kind of ...... to Xie Ke Disrespect.

But she had to come again.

"Young lady." Mrs. Zhou bowed. Yuhui paused, and the master and servant looked at Mrs. Zhou.

Regarding this Mrs. Zhou, Xie Ke said that she didn't have any impression, she was just an ordinary official wife, because she was located in Yecheng, she was the county lady, and she didn't see the slightest exaggeration around her, but she had a kind of simplicity that Xie Ke praised.

It's just that since Qi Lu asked about his son Zhou Jun. This Mrs. Zhou was obviously a little hostile to their husband and wife.

"Mrs. Zhou, please get up." Xie Ke said politely, without the slightest arrogance because of his noble birth. Mrs. Zhou was apprehensive, but for the sake of her son, she fought for her life, and she had to ask for a clear understanding. Although his father-in-law said that his son Zhou Jun was a scholar, it was also the promotion of Second Master Qi. But Mrs. Zhou didn't think it was a good idea to do that work of serving. She asked Xie Ke if she could spare her son.

"Young lady, we are both mothers, and the courtier's wife begs the young lady, can Jun'er still be a wife. The courtier's wife is really reluctant to give up this child......"

Xie Ke smiled softly, and his eyebrows couldn't help but bring out a little coldness. In her life, the woman she hates the most is this kind of woman who acts behind the man's back without asking the reason. If she really carried it clearly, or if she was knowledgeable, Mrs. Zhou didn't look like she was knowledgeable.

And listening to her words, it seems that Zhou Jun was wronged by Qi Lu's side. Xie Ke especially disliked this.

The simple impression of Mrs. Zhou was instantly greatly discounted. "Mrs. Zhou still asked Zhou County's order, let's speak again. Yuhui, let's go back. "If Mrs. Zhou has a quiet personality, she doesn't mind making friends.

It's just that after Mrs. Zhou unties the knot in her heart.

Mrs. Zhou had the heart to stay, but she was really interested in Xie Ke's neglect, and finally watched Xie Ke's master and servant turn back to the courtyard.

Then...... A cold snort rose behind Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that her body weakened, and when she turned around, she saw her husband with a cold face, looking at her with disgust. Mrs. Zhou's heart suddenly panicked. "Master, I'm really unwilling to do that errand of serving, that's why I ...... Go and beg the young lady. Master, Jun'er is our only child, how can he do the work of that inferior person. Master, let's save Jun'er. ”

"Foolish, you really have long hair and short knowledge. The work of an inferior person?

Do you know that the master is surrounded by a guard, and they are all from prominent families. You should know the He clan and the Nanyan clan...... Their sister-in-law is by the side of Second Master Qi and can only be a guard.

I'm just a little prefectural magistrate. Jun'er is a scholar next to the second master, is it still wronged him? What are you babbling nonsense in front of the young lady? If the young lady takes it seriously. Really go and mention it to the second master.

You've really hurt Jun'er.

Go back. Don't go out of the yard these days, so as not to cause any trouble.

Fortunately, the young lady doesn't care about you today, if she does. I am afraid that the future of our father and son will be ruined in the hands of you, the mother-in-law. ”

After listening to Zhou County's words, Mrs. Zhou's face was stunned, her mind didn't seem to understand this, but the Yan family and the He family, she still heard about it, they were all clans that had been inherited for hundreds of years. Speaking of the Nanyan family, it is even more like thunder, the son of such a family. By the side of Second Master Qi. You can only be a guard. Although she also heard words like Yan and He yesterday, she really didn't expect such a son-in-law to be on an errand in front of Second Master Qi.

The family went to be a scholar, and it was indeed not aggrieved.

Let alone...... Thinking of her son's words of comfort yesterday. Mrs. Zhou let out a long sigh. Because of this. Eventually, she was grounded.

"Look at the young lady Qi. Talk like that. Acting like that, that's the girl who came from everyone. You must ask me when you act in the future. If you dare to mess around again. Don't blame me for not missing our husband and wife for more than ten years. After Zhou Ziqiu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away past Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou froze in place, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

Then he walked back to his small courtyard step by step.

***

When Xie Ke returned to the house, Qi Lu had already gone out with Zhou Ziqiu. Yuhui helped Xie Ke to sit next to the couch, and then spoke with a displeased face. "Did Mrs. Zhou think that apart from her family, the second master would not be able to find a scholar. even shirked in every possible way, you know, if the second master speaks. If you want the second master to be by your side, you can go around the entire capital. That week, Jun was really in the midst of blessings, and he didn't know how to be blessed. "It's not that Yuhui is harsh, but what Mrs. Zhou said is too unpleasant, as if her second master took away her son.

Xie Ke smiled. "When you are a mother, you are naturally reluctant to give up on your children."

"It's not that she can't see her son from now on, but just let Zhou Jun follow the second master during the day. It was as if their mother and son would never see each other again. If you want me to say, just let the second master find another one, why bother with that week. ”

Yuhui muttered while tucking the quilt for Xie Ke, who had been rushing for days in recent days, and Xie Ke had suffered a little loss. Lin Changyuan prescribed her a prescription to replenish her body, but the most important thing is to recuperate more.

"Young grandma sleep for a while, the slave maid comes to invite the young grandma for dinner."

“…… Well, I'm also tired, Zhou Jun is in the second master's study right now, and after he finishes the homework ordered by the second master, let him play with Mingyue in the courtyard. After dinner, let him go back to the next yard. Xie Ke commanded softly, and Yuhui nodded. Xie Ke slowly closed his eyes.

Why does it have to be weekly?

Naturally, it's because of Zhou Ziqiu. Although Zhou Ziqiu has shortcomings, he is at least a conscientious person. Just look at his timid nature, but he dares to take the risk of 'expropriating' the city lord's mansion, you can know that he still has merit. And his only son naturally has his irreplaceable place in Yecheng.

At this time, he was taken by Qi Lu's side, presumably in five or eight years, and he must be a party figure when he is released.

At that time, Zhou Ziqiu must have abdicated to make way for Xian. And his only son Zhou Jun is the best successor.

Xie Ke and Qi Lu both thought about this matter in the long run, and presumably Zhou Ziqiu also understood it in his heart, so Xie Ke was not worried about Mrs. Zhou's troubles.

Thinking wildly, Xie Ke slowly fell into a dream.

Xie Ke took a nap, Zhou Jun really finished the homework ordered by Qi Lu early, although Zhou Jun didn't understand that he was obviously here to be a scholar, but why Qi Erye only let him read and write. However, compared to his father Zhou Ziqiu, Zhou Junzi is more calm and more meticulous, although he is young, he can also feel that Qi Erye has no ill will towards him, even if that person looks fierce and vicious.

Seeing Zhou Jun out of the study, Yuhui beckoned him to come closer.

Respect Xie Ke's orders and let him play with Mingyue in the courtyard.

Mingyue is just over a year old and has just learned to walk. Zhou Jun naturally has no patience to coax a one-year-old milk doll. But Mingyue's life is too cute, and Zhou Jun, who is a young man, can only play with Mingyue in the end, he flashes, she goes again, and he escapes again. It made the little girl giggle endlessly.

The nurse and Yuhui on the side fell easily.

"Brother Jun is a patient person. Look how happy the little county lord is. The nurse said casually.

Yuhui nodded. She just didn't know what the second master and the young grandmother were thinking, and it seemed that she intended to let Zhou Junlai get close to the little county lord......

When Qi Lu and Zhou Ziqiu entered the hospital, they saw such a scene, Zhou Jun and Mingyue sat opposite each other, the little boy sat with a natural figure, but Xiao Mingyue was dishonest, moving his arms and legs. Zhou Jun corrected while reasoning with Mingyue.

The little girl naturally didn't listen.

Zhou Jun is simply a chicken and a duck, and it is rare that Zhou Jun is patient. And the nurse and Yuhui, who were watching the two of them playing, couldn't help but hide their sleeves and chuckle.

Yuhui saw Qi Lu first, and couldn't help but open her mouth.

Zhou Jun immediately got up and stood aside, Xiao Mingyue saw her father, and happily pounced on Qi Lu, with a stack of sounds in her mouth, 'Daddy'...... Qi Lu took his daughter into his arms, and then turned to Zhou Ziqiu with a smile.

"Brother Jun is a heart, this naughty girl in my family doesn't listen to anyone, it's rare that Brother Jun can make her quiet. In the future, let Brother Jun follow me, in addition to reading and learning words, I will help the young lady bring a bright moon when I am free. Qi Lu's polite lesson naturally made Zhou Ziqiu overjoyed, and pulled his son to thank him.

Zhou Jun knelt on the ground to thank him, his expression calm from beginning to end.

Qi Lu nodded, and then hugged Mingyue into the house. For dinner, Qi Lu and Zhou Ziqiu and his son used it together, and the father and son were a little constrained, but in general, the guests and hosts were happy. Then Zhou Ziqiu received Zhou Jun's farewell.

Qi Lu then got up and went back to the inner room.

At this time, Xie Ke was half-leaning on the bedpost and thinking about Shantang...... Hearing the sound, he looked up at Qi Lu. Seeing the solemn expression on his face, he couldn't help but be shocked. At noon, he was still full of nonsense, why did he look preoccupied at this time. "Ah Lu, do you think Zhou Jun's child is inappropriate?"

Only then did Qi Lu collect the solemn look on his face. Put on a flirtatious look. "It's not looking for a son-in-law, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I want Zhou Jun to be a little kind to Mingyue, and it also saves Mingyue from forcibly driving him with the love of master and servant in the future.

Zhou Jun looks like a person who can get things done.

At least better than his father Zhou Ziqiu...... As long as he assists Mingyue wholeheartedly, we are gone, and Mingyue can live safely.

I just thought that the hour was not early, Fourth Master Chu said that he would see him tonight, why didn't he show up at this time? Isn't something wrong? This is also what worries Xie Ke.

Thinking about the little uncle, he is a person who is used to improvisation, he is in the capital, and the emperor has not been able to capture him.

What's more, this Yecheng, which is thousands of miles away from the capital. "Uncle will be fine, maybe it's delayed by something, let's wait a little longer to ......" [Thank you for your monthly pass~~~]
