Qin Huan had already heard that Qi Changge was the third lady of the Qi family, and he wanted to come to the silver and two, but when he did business, he also had to look at the guests, so he pretended to hesitate and said: "Miss Qi, the price of this potpourri is a bit too high, but the girl who makes this potpourri is priced so high that she can't bargain, why don't you think about it again, do you want to buy it?" ”

Thinking like Qin Huan, Qi Changge, who didn't know what silver money was since he was a child, didn't care about the price, and said directly to Qin Huan: "How much silver, the little woman has it." ”

"That's good, this potpourri is complicated in workmanship, and I will collect twenty-five taels from Miss." Qin Xiaomei said with a smile, finished the whole package of potpourri and put it on the table.

Qi Changge commanded, and kept talking to Xiao Mi who was standing behind him: "Xiao Mi, pay the silver." ”

"Yes" Xiao Mi responded, took out the colorful butterfly embroidery bag that Qi Changge usually uses to hold pocket silver from his waist, took a few steps forward, counted out twenty-five taels of silver from the embroidery bag, put it on the table, and said to Qin Huan: "Twenty-five taels of silver, count the shopkeeper." ”

"Okay." Qin Huan responded happily, counted the silver, a full twenty-five pieces of broken silver, put them all into the counter, handed the potpourri to Xiao Mi, and followed behind Qi Changge and Xiao Mi.

Farewell to Qi Changge and Xiao Mi to the door of the store and say, "Welcome Miss Qi next time." ”

Qi Changge stood in front of the carriage and smiled at Qin Huan and said, "There is a send-off shopkeeper, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, Miss Qi." Qin Huan stood on the steps and replied with a long song.

Qi Changge shook his head, and under the help of Xiao Mi, he picked up the corners of his skirt with his hand, stepped on the wooden steps, and the lady entered the carriage and sat upright on the collapsed car.

Xiao Mi quickly picked up the steps of the car, sat outside the curtain, and told the groom to rush back to the house: "Little brother, go home." ”

"Okay!" The little brother who set up the horse was a young and handsome groom, and his voice was crisp and clear, shouting in response.

Because of this voice, Xiao Mi, who didn't pay much attention to the groom, glanced sideways, and when she glanced at it, she blushed with shame.

And Qi Changge in the carriage is thinking freely, flawless about the outside, if it is placed in the past, he will definitely think about it and make fun of it.

Qi Changge, who was immersed in his thoughts, was all the young man in his head, with his forehead slanted and his eyes covered and his eyes plucked with the strings.

He?

Who is it?

Why do I pay so much attention to him?

Because of him, he tugged at the heartstrings?

That kind of strange feeling of looking at him?

Why, I don't think other men will have it?

…… Waiting, thinking about words like these, he arrived at the door of Qi Mansion in this way.

The car was stopped, and when the coachman dismounted, the movement made Qi Changge come back to his senses.

Qi Changge, who returned to God, had an indescribable shyness, because he had lived for fifteen years since now, but he lost his soul slightly because of a man who had never known each other and had several encounters.

"Miss, please get out of the car." Xiao Mihou was beside the car and said softly.

Qi Changge calmed down slightly, bent over, pinched the corner of his skirt with one hand, got out of the car, stood on the car board, stepped on the wooden steps, put one hand on Xiao Mi's palm, and walked down.

Before entering the mansion, there was a report from the porter: "The old lady asked the third lady to go to the Huihe Hall, and it was Mrs. Jun Bohou who came to visit, and asked the third lady to accompany the reception." ”

"Hmm." Qi Changge responded, and said to the waiter who was notified by the porter: "I'm tired." ”

"It's as small as it should be." The porter was praised by Qi Changge and said with a smile.

Qi Changge and Xiao Mi went to the Huihe Hall in the mansion to receive foreign guests.

Huihe Hall is located in the main hall of the second entrance gate, the first entrance door is the garden rockery, and the second entrance door is used to entertain guests and entertain guests.

Qi Changge walked on the arched stone bridge, passed through the flower garden, passed through a large hanging stone arch flower gate, walked into the second door, and there was a distance from the Huihe Hall, and he heard the laughter of Mrs. Jun Bohou from a distance.

In this way, he walked into the Huihe Hall with gentle steps, Qi Changge squatted and bent his knees elegantly, and saluted Grandmother Qi and Mrs. Jun Bohou, and said in a pleasant and crisp voice: "Long song to grandmother, greetings to Mrs. ”

Mrs. Jun Bohou was very satisfied with the upbringing of the girl in front of her, the gentle and polite Miss of the noble family, and without waiting for Grandmother Qi to call up, she hurriedly helped Qi Changge and said: "Miss Qi, it is really cute, she looks so beautiful and gentle." ”

Qi Changge got up, lowered his head, half-lowered his eyes, and said with a slight face and half shame: "Madame has over-praised, Changge is just a little girl in the boudoir." ”

"How can it be, as the saying goes, a family has a woman, and a hundred families ask for it, not to mention the women of the Qi family, but they are well-known for their virtuous and courteous governance!" Mrs. Jun Bohou smiled, held Qi Changge's hands, and patted the back of her hand.

Grandmother Qi sat in the high hall, and she was proud to be Mrs. Jun Bohou, with a kind smile on her face, and said gently: "The daughter of the Qi family is famous for her etiquette and upbringing, but the famous ladies of each family are also ladylike and dignified, so she will not praise the granddaughter of the old body so much." ”

And Qi Changge was behind Grandmother Qi's words, curtsied and stood up to Mrs. Jun Bohou, and said with a gentle smile: "Grandmother said yes, Changge, as the daughter of the Qi family, is as beautiful as other ladies, and has a ladylike appearance, so I dare not praise Mrs. Jun Bohou so surely." ”

Mrs. Jun Bohou was originally a candidate for the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the eldest son, and gave priority to Qi Mansion to visit, seeing that Qi Changge was so respectful and knew how to advance and retreat, she was really satisfied with Qi Changge.

"Old Madam Qi, your granddaughter, the concubine wants to get married, you see, is it feasible?" Since Mrs. Jun Bohou was satisfied with Qi Changge, the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law, she decided on it, and she didn't have to be tired to go to other homes to see each other, so she didn't buy Guanzi, and directly asked the old lady Qi to ask for relatives.

Old Mrs. Qi glanced at Qi Changge, Qi Changge lowered her eyes, as if she was a shy little daughter who was about to be negotiated by her parents' orders, although she was not a granddaughter raised in front of her since she was a child, but she also watched the little girl who grew up.

Old Madam Qi also felt Qi Changge's reluctance, so she said to Mrs. Jun Bohou: "My granddaughter, look at the delightful, I still want to stay under my knees and tease for a while." ”

Mrs. Jun Bohou also heard the refusal in Mrs. Qi's words, but she also liked Qi Changge, although she was not unhappy in her heart, she was still a little disappointed and said to her grandmother: "Old Mrs. Qi, your granddaughter, the concubine is really happy to see it, probably because she has nothing to do with my family." ”

"Thanks to Mrs. Jun Bohou's love, it is a little woman's blessing, and I can't afford Mrs. You's love." Qi Changge half-bent his knees without hurrying, performed the lady's salute, and got up and said.

Mrs. Jun Bohou listened to Qi Changge's words, she was so comfortable, she was a beautiful person who could talk, but unfortunately, she had no chance with my Jun Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Jun Bohou's appreciation and grandmother Qi praised: "Old Mrs. Qi, your mansion is really polite, especially Miss Qi, at a young age, she knows how to advance and retreat so well. ”

These words naturally made Grandmother Qi's face shine, but seeing Mrs. Jun Bohou praising her granddaughter so sparingly, she was also proud, after all, she was an old man who had lived for many years.

I also saw through that Mrs. Jun Bohou still wanted to fight for it again and marry this in-law, but I also knew that if my little granddaughter didn't want to marry, she couldn't force it.

Grandmother Qi sighed slightly: "My granddaughter has been a person with ideas since she was a child, and when my first daughter-in-law left, she also begged for an old man, so that this little granddaughter could find a good son-in-law." ”

After listening to what Grandmother Qi said, Mrs. Jun Bohou looked at Qi Changge, stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said gently: "Miss Qi, my son is good, he is eighteen years old, the age of a weak crown, and he is not a concubine boasting. ”

"Ahem..."Mrs. Jun Bohou whistled her throat, there was a sense of embarrassment that Huang Po bought melons and boasted about herself, after all, it was the first time she praised her son in front of other people's mansions.

Mrs. Jun Bohou finished her throat and continued: "Although my son is not as smart as a genius, he is also the champion of this year, and he has a good temperament, Miss Qi, the concubine is not the evil mother-in-law who will grind people, although the concubine is in the mansion, but the people in the mansion are simple, and these are also known to some ladies." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Jun Bohou looked at Qi Changge expectantly, waiting for her answer.

"This ......" Qi Changge squeaked, not knowing how to refuse, so as not to lose the face of this elder, and the share of his grandmother and Qi Mansion.

Thinking about the time before there was a cup of tea, Qi Changge didn't know what to say to make this Mrs. Jun Bohou feel comfortable and not lose face, in line with the idea of procrastination, picked up the tea cup on the Lao Jun's table, some cold, and handed it to Xiao Mi who was standing on the side: "This tea cup is cold, all of them are changed to the right temperature, this grandmother and Mrs. Jun Bohou have to talk for a while, and they have to moisten their throats." ”

"Yes." Xiao Mi bent his knees, served the tea with her, removed the three tea cups, and went back to the pantry to revisit one.

And Qi Changge finished explaining Xiaomi, and said with a gentle smile to Mrs. Jun Bohou, who expected her to answer: "Mrs. Jun Bohou, after talking with my grandmother for a while, I must be thirsty, so it is better to sit down and rest first, drink tea, and quench my thirst." ”

Mrs. Jun Bohou once again felt Qi Changge's intimacy, and she knew how to be a man, she stood for a while, talked for a while, and was indeed thirsty and tired, so she sat down according to her words.

Xiao Mi and the two tea maids also served three delicious warm tea cups in turn.

Grandmother Qi was also thirsty, so she picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and praised Mrs. Jun Bohou: "This tea is warm and refreshing, it was transported from Wuyi County not long ago, and it was picked at home. ”

Mrs. Jun Bohou is a connoisseur of tea, since she was a child in the deep boudoir, she likes to serve the tea art, holds up the tea cup, smells the fragrance of tea in the nose, and then slowly sipps, tastes a few sips finely, and puts down the tea cup.

The mouth is refreshing and has an endless aftertaste, with the refreshing taste of mint and the fragrance of camellia. ”

And Qi Changge also took a few sips, and the feeling was too strong, but he didn't say anything, because there were two generations of people who praised good tea, as a younger generation of Qi Changge, and drank weak tea since he was a child, and now it has become a habit, and he doesn't praise any discomfort.
