Winter in the capital is all about snow.

The previous snow had just melted, and the chill was still in people's bones, and the snowflakes began to flutter again.

Shen listened to Yun's mother's persuasion and also listened to her daughter's advice, temporarily suppressed the grievances in his belly, and shifted all his energy to the banquet.

Qi Miao sat on the soft couch, discussing with her mother and Yun's mother which guests to invite.

"Mrs. Li and Sister Wan'er must be invited." Qi Miao suggests.

Some words are about to take root in my stomach, and I haven't found a chance to say them to Liu Wan'er.

Shen smiled and nodded, "That's natural, and Gongzi Li, Mrs. Ge and the two young ladies also have to be invited......

By the way, there is also the tenth son, who came to give gifts that day, and I promised to invite him to the house as a guest in person, if you deliberately invite him, it would be inappropriate, take this opportunity is the most appropriate......"

Please come to the house with ten catties?

"Mother, did you say please the tenth son?" Qi Miao looked at her mother in surprise.

She remembered that her mother didn't like him very much.

His mother also asked her to stay away from him, could it be that because someone gave her a few sheep, her mother changed her opinion of him?

If that's the case, then the mother is too easy to buy, right?

She looked at her mother with an exaggerated expression.

"Look at you little fool." Shen glared at her with disgust and scolded with a smile.

Then she sighed lightly and said, "If you think about it, that kid is quite pitiful, of course, if we invite someone, he may not want to come." ”

The reason for the change in attitude towards her mother is unknown. But there was no objection to the mother's proposal.

On the way back to the capital from Chenzhou, ten catties helped her a lot, and she didn't come to thank her. Instead, he sent something over, and it was natural for him to come to the house as a guest.

"Yes, I know that you have the kindest heart." Qi Miao joked with a smile, and she asked again, "Then do you want to invite Lord Rong Zhao?" ”

"My mother is also hesitating, let's post, I'm afraid that the lord of Rongzhao County will think that we are climbing. Disturb her quiet.

But the tenth prince lives in the county lord's mansion, if we invite him but don't invite the county lord, I am afraid that the county lord will annoy us for not being sensible. Shen was full of embarrassment.

Lord Rong Zhao not only doesn't like to join in the fun. I also have a lot of disgust with the posts that are delivered to my door.

When she returned to Uncle Huaiyuan's Mansion to send a post to invite her to a banquet, she tore up the post in front of Uncle Huaiyuan.

made Huai Yuanbo extremely embarrassed.

After the news spread, except for a few families who had a deep friendship with her, the others no longer dared to send the post to the county lord's mansion easily.

Qi Miao thought for a moment. That's it. "Mother, the post is going to be released, I'll send it then."

Shen nodded slightly.

It is unlikely that Lord Rong Zhao will come to the banquet, but I believe she will not tear up the post in front of Miao'er.

It's a viable idea.

The men continued to deliberate.

The curtain at the door moved slightly, and Bao Sheng walked in.

She saluted Shen and Qi Miao, and said with a smile, "Madam, Miss." Miss Lian is here. ”

Shen subconsciously frowned, "It's still snowing." Why is she here again? ”

There was undisguised displeasure in his tone.

In front of those close to her, she never hides her emotions.

"Mother, she should have come to me, I'll take a look." Qi Miao gently shook her mother's hand and responded with a smile.

She got up and put on her cloak and prepared to leave the house.

Snow can't stop even Manzhi from coming to visit her, how can this affectionate friendship be neglected.

"I know, when you went back to Chenzhou Mansion, she came twice." Shen said.

She thought about it, then took Qi Miao's hand and told her seriously, "Miao'er, this Miss Lian, my mother looks a little unsteady, you have to be careful."

There is an ancient adage that makes perfect sense, you can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people, and it's always right to be careful. ”

She is not optimistic about Lian Manzhi, so she doesn't want her daughter to be close to Lian Manzhi, and is worried that her daughter will be hurt.

Qi Miao nodded seriously, "Mother, don't worry, I know it." ”

Seeing that she came out of the house, Shen was still there in a trance.

Mother Yun comforted her softly, "Madam, put your heart back in your stomach, the slave maid sees that the young lady is very sensible, and she is measured." ”

"I hope so." Shen bowed his head slightly.

As soon as Qi Miao came out of the house, he was stabbed in the eye by the white in front of him.

In just half an hour, the trees and flowers in the yard turned white.

She put on her clogs and walked calmly towards the second door.

When Lian Manzhi saw her, she immediately took her arm affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Sister Miao'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, I really miss me." ”

Lian Manzhi wore a long jacket with red and white floral embroidery collar on an apricot yellow satin base, and a light pink satin-style hair shawl outside, and the carefully depicted makeup concealed the flaws of her facial features, making her look a little more pretty than usual.

She is already tall, and she wears clogs, and she is even more slim.

In particular, the color-changing gem on the step, as her movements swayed gently, the color of the gem from time to time was striking.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and she seems to have become good-looking.

The little maid behind her was still carrying a food box in her hand.

Qi Miao's face also smiled, and she said kindly, "My sister should say hello to me before she comes, so I can go to the door to meet you." It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk. ”

Lian Manzhi smiled and said yes.

The group soon arrived at the Mingyue Pavilion, and the warmth in the house drove away the chill all over Qi Miao's body.

She invited Lian Manzhi and herself to sit on the soft couch together.

Lian Manzhi pouted, and said with some grievances, "Sister Miao'er, you go out to play alone, and you don't bring me with you." Every day at home, I'm suffocating to death. ”

Shen just told her that Qi Miao had gone out, but he didn't say where to do anything.

She imagined that she must have gone out to play, and she would not have thought that Qi Miao was going out to run errands.

Qi Miaozi didn't explain, but responded with a smile, "Okay, wait until you go back to play, and you must call my sister together." How is my sister lately, everything is fine. ”

Lian Manzhi sighed, and immediately a cloud of sorrow stained his eyebrows.

She shook her head, "My grandfather is still angry with my mother." My mother is in a bad mood, where can I have a good life? So, I went to the kitchen and learned how to make dim sum. Save being reprimanded by my mother. ”

"It's hard for my sister to be wronged, if you have nothing to do, go and help Mrs. Lian coax Mrs. Xu, they are all a family, where can you be really angry." Qi Miao comforted.

"Mmmm, thank you sister for your relief, I'll figure it out." Lian Manzhi nodded, her eyes rolling slightly. said, "Sister Miao'er, I happened to learn another dim sum yesterday. When I learned that my sister was back, I specially made it for my sister to taste, and asked my sister not to dislike it. ”

Lian Manzhi's personal maid Tingxue put the food box in her hand on the small table in front of the couch.

Qi Miao smiled and said, "It's snowing so heavily. Sister, you came to deliver snacks. It's really heartfelt. It's too late for me to be moved, where will I dislike it. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Yuexia and ordered, "Sister Yuexia, quickly open the food box and see what new tricks Miss Lian has made, I want to taste it with Miss Lian." ”

Yuexia is answered, and she is about to open the lid of the food box.

Lian Manzhi hurriedly pressed Qi Miao's hand. "Sister Miao'er." This is specially brought for you to taste, the portion is not much, I still have it at home, so you don't need to let me taste it. ”

Qi Miaoxing's eyes flickered slightly, she didn't insist, but said with a smile.

The food box was taken aside by Xia Shuang.

After the two of them gossiped a few more words, Lian Manzhi lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Miao'er, I heard that Bai Lian left your Anning Mansion, is there such a thing?" ”

"Well, yes." Qi Miao nodded.

Bai Lian's mother and daughter left the Hou Mansion, and the Ma family did not hide this matter.

"And where did she go?" Lian Manzhi asked again, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Why is Sister Zhi'er interested in this?" Qi Miao asked with a smile.

"Hmph, last time because of her, I was beaten by my second cousin, and then there were those bad things at home. If I knew where she went, I would have to settle the account with her. Lian Manzhi gritted his teeth.

"Sister Zhi'er, your wish may not come true, you can't settle accounts with her." Qi Miao shook her head regretfully.

"Why can't it be done? Even if she runs to the ends of the earth, I will find her. Lian Manzhi waved his fist, full of pride.

"She's dead!" Qi Miao looked at her and said calmly.

The news of Yao's mother and daughter's death, she didn't plan to hide it, it would spread sooner or later.

"Huh? He's dead! Lian Manzhi's eyes widened and her mouth opened in shock.

She couldn't believe it was true.

Did the woman really die like that?

She hasn't taken revenge yet?

After a brief moment of surprise, she was more delighted.

Bai Lian is dead, and she can no longer seduce her second cousin.

After Lian Manzhi left, Xia Shuang pointed to the food box and asked Qi Miao, "Miss, do you want to eat these snacks?" ”

"Open it and take a look." Qi Miao got up and walked to the food box.

Summer Frost opened the food box, and immediately an enticing fragrance came to the nose.

She pulled out the snacks inside.

The confectionery is still in the shape of a flower, the last time it was a rose, this time it is a plum blossom.

The petals, stamens, are beautifully crafted and lifelike.

The pink plum blossom dim sum is adorned on the white porcelain plate, which is very beautiful and makes people reluctant to eat.

"I really can't see it, even Miss still has this good ability, it's about to catch up with you, Miss." Yuexia watched and praised from the sidelines.

"Miss Lian is really good, I can do it so well as a beginner, I'm ashamed." Qi Miao smiled slightly and said to Xia Shuang, "Take it down." ”

"Yes, miss." Xia Shuang nodded yes.

She put the snack back in the food box and carried it out of the house.

Lian Manzhi, Lian Manzhi, I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise I will never spare you!

Qi Miao looked at the beauty portrait on the flower, her dark eyes narrowed slightly, like a lazy cat.

Begonia Garden.

After setting a list of guests, Shen began to write posts.

If it was in the past, she would most likely ask Qi Zhengzhi to help write this post, but now she does it herself.

Since arguing with him in the front yard, she was more disappointed in him than ever.

However, there is no noticeable change in her attitude towards him.

Neither overly enthusiastic nor deliberately cold.

"The third master is back." As soon as she picked up her pen to write, she heard the greetings of the little maids outside the door.

After a pen, there was dirty ink on the post.

She frowned and threw the waste post aside, and took the post again.

The door curtain moved, and Qi Zhengzhi entered the room with a cold wind. He smiled and shouted, "Hui Niang, what are you busy with?" ”

Shen put the pen down. got up and stepped forward and saluted him very respectfully, "The master is back." ”

"Hui Niang, you ...... Why do you call me lord again? The smile on the corner of Qi Zhengzhi's mouth stiffened, and he asked painfully.

Ever since Hui Niang was angry at him that day, he felt that something was missing in his life.

Although Hui Niang still talked to him calmly, she still scooped soup for him when she ate. It's just no longer to judge how good the dishes taste.

still slept with him every day, combed his hair and dressed him in the morning, and told him to take care of himself when he went out......

On the surface, it looks the same as before. But he felt uncomfortable, and felt that something was missing.

He only now knew what was missing.

Hui Niang treated him less affectionately and with a pleasant smile, and more polite and detached.

Even the title has changed from San Lang to a cold and hard master.

A deep sorrow lingered in his heart.

Shen looked at him and replied softly. The old man laughed. If you don't call your lord, what should you shout? ”

"Hui Niang!" Qi Zhengzhi shook his head in pain and stretched out his hands to pull her hand.

Shen took two steps back.

His hands were empty, and his painful expression added two points of embarrassment.

"Hui Niang, can't we be like before, why do we have to be as cold and hard as we are now? Have you forgotten our old relationship as husband and wife? Qi Zhengzhi looked at her and asked softly.

There was a mist in his eyes, too.

When these words fell into Shen's ears, they had the meaning of questioning.

Instead of examining yourself, you come to me and ask me why I have changed. Isn't that a joke?

If you hadn't been wrong again and again, how could I have been?

Her heart grew colder. The smile on her gentle and demure face faded.

Shen said calmly, "Master, you are wrong, if it weren't for the past husband and wife relationship, do you think I would have connived at what you did again and again, believed you again and again, and was fooled by you as a fool?"

If it weren't for the love between husband and wife, do you think I would still be here? ”

After a pause, she said, "The husband is the wife's day, if the lord thinks that the concubine is doing something wrong, just beat and scold." ”

If he dares to do it, it will be the day she leaves.

Shen thought so.

The indifference and despair in her eyes stung Qi Zhengzhi's eyes again.

Isn't Hui Niang ready to forgive him?

He just said the wrong thing unintentionally, not intentionally?

Will she leave him?

If he didn't have her, how would he live in the future?

Thinking that he might lose the Shen family, Qi Zhengzhi was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Hui Niang, please believe me, I have never treated you as a fool, let alone lied to you......"

Shen Shi smiled lightly and said, "Master, you have said too much of this kind of thing, and the concubine can't believe it. What is the use of words and deeds that are inconsistent, even if they are extravagant?

If the master has nothing else to do, the concubine will still be busy. ”

With that, she turned around and walked towards the desk, and continued to write the post.

After so many things, she found that she was the stupidest one, she had been coaxed by his sweet words, and she had never doubted his sincerity.

Now that I think about it, to Yao's mother and daughter, he didn't promise her in person, but behind his back, he did something else, which happened to be contrary to what he said.

If he was sincere to her, how could he lie to her again and again.

No one complains, just blames her for not having bright eyes!

For the sake of Miao'er's future, she endured some time.

If he continues to do this, she will make another plan after Miao'er gets married.

Shen raised his chin and looked at him firmly.

Words and deeds are inconsistent!

Qi Zhengzhi stayed there, only thinking about this sentence.

If I remember correctly, Miao'er also said something similar to him the day before yesterday, saying that actions are worth a thousand words, and begging him to treat Huiniang well.

Is he so discredited in their eyes?

Isn't that trustworthy?

It's a pity that Qi Miao and Shen couldn't hear his pitiful self-questioning.

Of course, even if you hear it, the answer is yes.

In their hearts, he is no longer trustworthy!

The next day, Shen wrote the post, and Qi Miao went to the Rongzhao County Lord's Mansion.

The Rongzhao County Lord's Mansion is also very lively at the moment.

She was playing leaf cards, and a happy smile spread between her eyebrows.

In addition to Yan Fanfeng, there are also Ji Mo and Luo Ziqing who played cards with her.

She smiled and said to Ji Mo, "Xiao Jiu, you are really rare. You have time to play with me today. ”

"Then I'll play with you every day after that." The corners of Ji Mo's straight lips pursed lightly, and he answered.

Luo Ziqing looked at him and pouted.

The expression was disdainful.

"Come on, if you play with me every day. The Holy One shall not smite me. Rong Zhao smiled.

Yan Fanfeng saw that his wife was in a good mood, and he was happier than anyone else.

He always remembered what Qi Miao said, his wife's illness must be kept in a good mood, otherwise it is easy to relapse.

In the past, she had a problem every once in a while, but since Qi Miao's medicine, she hasn't done it again.

Qi Miao, Yan Fanfeng is very grateful.

A few people were talking. Mama Lin came in and said to the county lord Rong Zhao with a smile, "The county lord." Miss Qi Wu has sent you a post. ”

As she spoke, she handed the big red brocade post to Lord Rong Zhao.

"Where's Miao'er?" Lord Rong Zhao took the post and didn't look at the content, but asked people first.

"Wait at the door." Mama Lin replied.

"Mama. Hurry up and ask Miao'er to come in and talk. It's a cold day, so don't freeze. Lord Rong Zhao threw away the cards in his hand and hurriedly urged.

Mama Lin answered yes, and then left quickly.

"Uncle, aunt, I still have something to do, go first." Ji Mo put down the cards in his hand and quickly got up and left.

"Xiao Jiu, you ......," Rong Zhao shouted.

But Ji Mo had already left the house. Not even a response.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong? Didn't you say that you were idle and bored, how could you blink an eye and there would be something wrong? Lord Rong Zhao frowned. Muttered quietly.

Yan Fanfeng, who was standing beside her, heard what she said, and said, "After returning from Chenzhou, Xiao Jiu seems to be a little weird, and he is not in a good mood. ”

Lord Rong Zhao looked at Luo Ziqing and asked, "Ten catties, didn't you also go to Chenzhou?" What happened to Xiao Jiu there? ”

Luo Ziqing's blue eyes were slightly awkward.

He also felt that Ji Mo was a little depressed these days, not as casual as before.

couldn't help but think of what Ji Mo said when he broke into his room that morning.

After coming back, he deliberately found Ji Mo and asked what those words meant, but Ji Mo just sneered and didn't say anything.

Ji Mo is in a bad mood, will it have something to do with Qi Wu?

Thinking about it, Luo Ziqing felt a tightness in his chest.

He also stood up and shook his head lightly at Lord Rong Zhao, "I don't know much about this matter, I'll ask if I have the opportunity." ”

"Well, I must ask clearly, looking at Xiao Jiu like this, I really don't feel good in my heart." Lord Rong Zhao sighed.

"Auntie, I'm going to greet Miss Qi Wu." Luo Ziqing pointed to the door.

"Go ahead." Lord Rong Zhao nodded slightly.

Qi Miao followed Mama Lin into the courtyard where Rong Zhao lived.

Before she could take a few steps, she caught a glimpse of Mo Zheng coming towards her.

"Nine Princes!" Mama Lin stopped and saluted him.

"The Ninth Prince." Qi Miao lowered her eyes and saluted in the same way.

"Mama doesn't need to be polite."

Ji Mo responded to Mama Lin, but ignored Qi Miao.

He walked past her with a chill like he had done last time in Chenzhou.

It seems that there is no such person as her in front of him, and he has not listened to her voice.

The moment the two passed by, Qi Miao caught a glimpse of his lips pursed out of the corner of his eye, and his face was cold.

Just like when I first saw him.

She bit her lower lip slightly, and there seemed to be a throbbing pain in some unknown corner of her heart.

But she didn't even notice it.

To be exact, it was she who automatically chose to ignore the inexplicable feeling.

Because of Ji Mo's cold attitude, Mama Lin was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained to Qi Miao, "Fifth Miss, don't mind, the Ninth Prince may not have heard." ”

"It doesn't matter." Qi Miao smiled slightly.

"Qi Five." Luo Ziqing's hearty and cheerful shout came.

"Ten Sons." The smile on Qi Miao's lips deepened, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.

Ji Mo, who walked around the corner, heard her voice and froze.

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared.

He quickened his pace and left the Rongzhao County Lord's Mansion as fast as he could.

Mama Lin entered the house first and said a few words in the ear of Lord Rong Zhao.

"Huh? Is that so? Rong Zhao was surprised, and then he suddenly understood, as if he understood something.

Qi Miao followed Luo Ziqing into the house and saluted Lord Rong Zhao.

Lord Rong Zhao stepped forward with a smile and took her hand, and said angrily, "You bad girl with no conscience, you don't come to see me these days." ”

Qi Miao smiled slightly, "Don't you dare to disturb your tranquility casually." ”

"If you don't want me, you don't want me, don't make excuses, hum!" Rong Zhao pursed his lips and pulled her to sit with him.

Qi Miao smiled and said she didn't dare.

"Qi Wu, are you still used to drinking the honey wine you sent?" Luo Ziqing asked.

The blue eyes are clear and compelling.

"Thank you for the kindness of the tenth prince, I didn't dare to drink it yet, so I left it and waited for the county lord to go and drink it together." Qi Miao said.

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time." Rong Zhao smiled and nodded, and then explained to Luo Ziqing, "Ten catties, Third Master Qi and Third Lady Qi invite you to the Hou Mansion as guests, do you want to go?" ”

"Really? Go, of course go! Luo Ziqing was surprised and delighted, and nodded hurriedly.

He also thought that Shen didn't answer the last time he asked for her surname, which annoyed her.

never thought that she would really invite him to the Hou Mansion as a guest.

"You're also a foodie, so that's up to me." Rong Zhao scolded with a smile, but quickly scolded himself.

Qi Miao and Luo Ziqing both laughed.

The atmosphere in the house is harmonious and warm.

After saying a few more words, Rong Zhao said to Luo Ziqing, "Ten catties, you go to the kitchen and take a look, let them cook a few more dishes that Miao'er likes to eat, and Miao'er and I will talk again." ”

Qi Miao likes to eat, and after walking with her for a few days, Luo Ziqing knows a little.

But he knew that his aunt was just an excuse, and she had to say something to Qi Wu.

It is very likely to be related to Ji Mo.

Luo Ziqing answered yes and left.

Mama Lin withdrew the other maids in the house, and there were only Qi Miao and Rong Zhao in the house.

Qi Miao couldn't help but be a little nervous. (To be continued......)
