If Batu thought that Toya had listened to his advice and dispelled his thoughts about Sihong Bowen, it would be a big mistake.

Toya passed by Sihong Bowen's carriage several times, and her complaining eyes were extremely pitiful.

Why can't I marry him myself? Aren't the men of their Qi country allowed to marry three wives and four concubines?

Tuoya bit her lip tightly, I don't compete with the lord of Taiping County for the position of wife, as long as I can stay by his side, I am willing to be a concubine. Anyway, if you marry that Persian prince, I'm afraid it's not much better than a concubine.

Si Hong Bowen didn't pay attention, but Zhiqiu and Jian Ying saw Toya's expression clearly.

Jian Ying secretly whispered to Gumen: "If you want to talk about appearance, the county lord of Tuoya is definitely above the county lord of Taiping." In terms of talent, the two are also comparable. Simply accept all of our sons, wouldn't it be beautiful to follow the example of Empress E! ”

"What nonsense!" Zhiqiu glanced at him, "Childe doesn't look down on upside-down women." Toya is just beautiful, where can she compare to Sister Qingyun who is gentle and capable. Don't talk behind your back, be careful if I sue Sù Gongzi and see how he punishes you! ”

"Eh, don't mind!" Jian Ying grinned and said to her: "Sister, spare me this time, isn't it idle and idle to talk nonsense, don't take it seriously!" ”

Zhiqiu snorted, "You men, you are tempted to see people beautiful, superficial!" ”

Jian Ying and Gumen couldn't help laughing, and when Zhiqiu walked away, they muttered in a low voice: "Since ancient times, heroes love beauties, is it possible that finding an ugly monster is not superficial?" Lonely door, what do you say Zhiqiu looks like?"

February 2. Commonly known as the Green Dragon Festival, legend has it that it is the day when the dragon raises its head.

In the morning, the sky was gray, and the air was faintly wafting with the warm and humid humidity of different winter days. In the morning, there were cow hair whispering dotted with stars.

Qingmei followed Xia Qingyun out of the house, and then turned back to get the oil-paper umbrella.

Xia Qingyun looked at the sky and said to himself: "Spring rain is as precious as oil. There have been several heavy snowfalls in winter, and it seems that this year has been a good year. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Dad walked over from the other end of the verandah with a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, looking a little lonely.

"Hua Yun should be out of Zhili at this time, he has just been gone for a few days. I really don't feel good about it. ”

Xia Qingyun greeted him with a smile. Holding his father's arm, "In the past, Huayun didn't live at home, and I didn't listen to you." He's not too young, it's time to go out and practice. You can rest assured. ”

Daddy took two puffs of his cigarette. "Yes. Staying at home all the time can't make the climate. I want me to be so big to him. It's also an apprenticeship away from home. ”

"It's good if Dad wants to open it, I told Huayun, and I'll write when I arrive."

Dad nodded. "I think our Nord Stream should have had several showers, and it's time for the tea trees to pull branches. If it weren't for your mother's inconvenience, I really wanted to go back and smell the aroma of the tea garden, which was much more comfortable than staying in the capital. ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "I can't complain that my mother always said that there is no hardship that cannot be endured, only happiness that cannot be enjoyed." Dad is uncomfortable with someone waiting for him all day long. ”

Qingmei smiled beside her: "Master, this is homesick." After the county lord gets married, he will return to his hometown and province according to the custom, and then the old lady will be able to take the two young masters back to see it together! ”

"That's, that's!"

Speaking of his unborn son, Dad smiled and squinted, "Aren't you going out, hurry up, the road is slippery in the rain, let the coachman go slowly." ”

The carriage just got out of the alley, and when he saw the eldest princess's carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, Xia Qingyun hurriedly sent Qingmei over to ask.

After a while, the eldest princess came over alone and said, "Early in the morning, Shan'er was clamoring to come to you to go with her, but when she got to the door, she fell asleep in the car." ”

Xia Qingyun pulled her hand and got out of the car, "Then I'll go and take my sister's car, Shan'er of the province woke up and cried." ”

In the carriage, Shan'er was covered with a big red cloak, sleeping sweetly, her little face was flushed, and her eyelashes were still fluttering slightly.

Xia Qingyun tucked it for her, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't the master of the horse come with me today?" ”

The eldest princess pressed the curtain tightly, and the cold wind of the province poured in, "He said that there was something wrong with the Hanlin Courtyard, and he didn't come back last night." Today, I sent my follower home to inform him, and if I finished talking about it early, I rushed over before noon. ”

It was not a short journey from the city to the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, it was raining lightly, Shan'er slept again, and the eldest princess specially instructed the coachman to slow down the car, and it took more than an hour to arrive.

The eldest princess wakes Shan'er up and tells her to wake up and take a nap. Shan'er rubbed her eyes and saw that Xia Qingyun was also there, so she threw herself into her arms.

The eldest princess helped her put on her cloak and smiled helplessly: "It's strange to say, Shan'er used to be with me except for me, but I like to stick to you." ”

Xia Qingyun touched Shan'er's pigtails, Shan'er raised her head and blinked her bright eyes, smiling sweetly in return.

"We're fated." She smiled and helped Shan'er put on her hat, "Come, Auntie will pick you up and get out of the car." ”

I thought that the Seventh Prince must have invited a lot of people, but when I entered the courtyard, I found that there were no other guests except for the third princess and the fourth princess who arrived early.

The eldest princess walked beside Xia Qingyun and said in a low voice: "Today is the second day of February, and the emperor will take a group of ministers to worship the heavens, and he will go to the royal garden to plow the fields. The concubines all thought it was unlucky here. ”

Xia Qingyun smiled bitterly, no matter how much the Seventh Prince said it, he was also a prince, but the emperor didn't let him participate in such an important sacrificial event, which shows how much he didn't attach importance to it.

When I came to the gate of the main courtyard, I saw the Seven Princes supporting a woman waiting under the dripping eaves.

The woman was slender and graceful, wearing a lilac brocade robe with crescent edges, and a few hibiscus flowers embroidered on the placket, elegant and chic. With light eyebrows and sideburns, slightly raised phoenix eyes, smooth and fair skin, and no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it is clear that she attaches great importance to maintenance on weekdays.

Seeing the eldest princess and Xia Qingyun, Ning greeted him with a smile, "It's the road, it's cold outside, let's sit in the house." This is Shan'er, right? Come, let the mother hug. ”

Shan'er avoided a little fearfully, but then took a deep breath and said in a milky voice: "This lady is so fragrant!" Shan'er likes it. ”

The eldest princess and the Ning family looked at each other and smiled, and walked in while greeting each other.

Between Ning's gestures, there was a burst of refreshing dark fragrance floating, which made Xia Qingyun very curious.

She had collected many perfumes in her previous life, but none of them had ever been as elegant as the scent on Ning's body, which seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it at once.

"Mei Xiang." The Seventh Prince walked beside her and said lightly.

Xia Qingyun suddenly realized, indeed, the fragrance of plum blossoms is like this, but it lingers.

There are few people in the world who use plum blossoms as incense, because after its petals leave the branches, the aroma dissipates quickly, and it is very difficult to refine. I don't know how Ning did it.

The Seventh Prince teased Shan'er as he walked: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Shan'er has gained some weight again." ”

Shan'er pouted, "No! ”

"Come, let my uncle hug me if it's sinking." The Seventh Prince smiled and took Shan'er over.

Xia Qingyun smiled at him gratefully, although Shan'er was not sinking, but her arm was also sore after holding it for a long time, she was afraid that Shan'er would cry and never put it down.

"Uncle, Shan'er isn't fat, is she?" The little county lord is still struggling with this problem. (To be continued......)
