Xiao He smiled, looked at Ye Guan, and said thoughtfully, "It turns out that you are afraid of people crying." ”

"Why, you want to cry too?" Ye Guan tilted his head slightly, raised his chin, pinched Xiao He's chin with his slender fingers teasingly, examined him for a moment, and said, "You can try, not to mention seeing you every day, I'm afraid that I will rip out my heart to you, it's all made." ”

"Really?" Xiao He looked at her with a smile, changed the topic, and suddenly said, "What if I ask you something else?" Would you like to say that too? ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"Where was Lu Wu sent by you and what was he doing?"

“…… Then you cry! Ye Guan paused for a moment and said, "If you really cried, why don't I tell you?" ”

Xiao He: "......" He looked at Ye Guan for a moment, as if he was brewing emotions.

"Forget it, I can't cry," he said with a smile, suddenly, looking away.

Ye Guan didn't say anything more.

The two sat silently like this, and after a long time, Xiao He remembered that he still had some things to deal with and planned to leave, but a moment before getting up, Ye Guan suddenly hooked his neck and kissed him.

Xiao He didn't expect her to kiss him so suddenly, so he was stunned, stepped back a little, held her shoulder, tilted his head, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Guan leaned forward and kissed him on the lips again, and then scolded, "Man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, you can go." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao He grabbed her wrist and asked.

Ye Guan didn't speak, lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his waist.

Xiao He became worried, frowned and thought for a moment, and asked seriously, "Do you want to do something dangerous?" ”

"No," Ye Guan said impatiently, raising his head and glaring at him, "You're already mine, can't I touch it?" ”

"It's just a little sudden," Xiao He explained helplessly, so suddenly that he couldn't help but think about it.

Ye Guan heard him explain, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a touch of mockery, "Is it possible to choose a day?" ”

Xiao He was naturally unhappy when he was mocked by her like this, but when he thought that this princess was something he had asked for with great difficulty, he couldn't get angry, so he had to say, "Fang is not good for me, now, do you want to continue kissing?" ”

Ye Guan glanced at him, "I don't want to, you can go." ”

"But I want to." Xiao He knew that her tone was different, so he naturally wouldn't leave, and as he spoke, he pulled her into his arms...... hugged her tightly.

……

In the end, it was another overnight stay.

The next morning, Xiao He had breakfast, his eyes were full of tenderness, he looked at Ye Pavilion with affection, and said, "Are you really not going back to the house with me, Ah Guan?" ”

"No return." Ye Guan categorically refused.

A touch of sadness appeared on Xiao He's face, paused, and asked, "What about Mu'er, you don't want to look at him at all?" ”

"No," Ye Guan said, a hint of impatience already appeared on his face.

Xiao He knew her temper, so he could only stop the topic for the time being, got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, if anything, remember to send someone to the Beijing Mansion to find me." ”

"Got it, let's go," Ye Guan urged.

Xiao He gave her another deep look before turning to leave.

"Girl, why don't you go back to the palace with King Beijing?" After Xiao He left, Yun Mei pushed Ye Guan to bask in the garden and asked suspiciously behind her.

"I don't want to go back," Ye Guan said coldly, not even bothering to make up an excuse.

Yun Mei thought for a while, and then said, "Then aren't you worried about Xiao Shizi?" ”

"Don't worry," Ye Guan said lightly, "I'm just a cripple, and I don't have the right to worry about him." ”

Yun Mei: "......"

Can a cripple still sing at night?

Isn't there any misunderstanding about the cripple?

While the two were talking, Uncle Liu walked over from a distance, and before and after, Ye Guan knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair without a match, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Uncle Liu smiled innocently, took out a gift slip from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Guan, and said, "This is a gift from the Guogong Mansion, Miss Biao, please take a look." ”

"No need," Ye Guan didn't bother to look at it, looking indifferent, "You just put it in the warehouse." ”

When Uncle Liu heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, "Back to Miss Cousin's words, the Guogong Mansion will send things over every once in a while, and it can't be put in the treasury now." ”

"Then take it out and give it away," Ye Guan said impatiently.

Uncle Liu sensed his master's displeasure, and his body trembled slightly, "Give it away?" So who is this for? Please also ask Miss Table to make it clear. ”

"Let's go build a good hall," after a moment of silence, Ye Guan had a whim, squinted his eyes and said, "It can be divided into two parts, one part to take in orphans who have nowhere to go, and the other part to take in women who have nowhere to go, you go over and handle it yourself." ”

"Miss Dashan!" Uncle Liu listened to Ye Guan's instructions and said in surprise.

The reason why he dragged his family into the national mansion as a slave was because his hometown suffered a disaster and he was cornered!

"You don't have to flatter me," Ye Guan listened to Uncle Liu's praise, raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, "It is the Qiao Guo Mansion that contributes to the people, and this reputation should also belong to the Qiao Guo Mansion." ”

"Yes!" Uncle Liu agreed, but he didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that although Miss Biao looked cold, she was grateful.

Yun Mei thought the same way.

Uncle Liu got Ye Pavilion's order, and prepared for it that day, in his heart, he wanted to surprise the Qiao Guo Mansion for Ye Pavilion, so he didn't say it in advance.

Two months later, the good hall was built, and Shangjing was hit by a snowstorm that had not been encountered in a hundred years, so he rescued the people of dozens of miles nearby and sent the news to the Qiaoguo Mansion.

Qiaoguo Mansion, Nanqiu Courtyard Warm Pavilion.

The old lady was wearing a sauce-colored marigold crewneck shirt, leaning on the pillow and wiping her tears, and said, "I said how my dying body suddenly got better, it turned out that this girl Ah Guan has been accumulating blessings for me." ”

The eldest lady already knew Ye Guan's true identity, and also knew that Qiao Jingduan would no longer have the intention of marrying Ye Guan as his wife, and she was happy to hold the old lady at the moment and said, "What Mother said is that Ah Guan's child looks cold, but when it comes to filial piety, it is the first of your grandsons and granddaughters." ”

"yes!" The old lady was coaxed by the eldest lady with a happy face, but the second lady on the other side pouted coldly, dragged the daughter beside her, looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, you don't know, our family has also copied the Buddhist scriptures for you a hundred times in the past two months, this child is solid, and it is all blood and ink, you see, she still has a dagger cut wound on her wrist!" As he spoke, he didn't care whether Qiao Qingqian wanted it or not, he directly wiped her sleeves.

The old lady glanced over, and saw the pink wound on her granddaughter's white arm, she couldn't help but wet her eyes, and beckoned to Qiao Qingqian with a trembling voice, "Come, come here." ”

The second lady pushed Qiao Qingqian towards the old lady, and Qiao Qingqian had no choice but to walk towards the old lady step by step.

"Does it hurt?" The old lady pulled Qiao Qingqian to sit down beside her, caressed the wound on her arm with pity, and asked.

Qiao Qingqian shook his head and said softly, "As long as grandmother can really get better, it won't hurt in Qianqian." ”

"Good boy!" The old lady hugged Qiao Qingqian into her arms with tears in her eyes, patted her gently on the back and said, "You don't say that your grandmother also knows, it must be very painful, why are you so stupid, you can't do such a thing in the future, you know?" ”

Qiao Qingqian nodded lightly and said obediently, "I know, I will listen to my grandmother." ”

Seeing her like this, the old lady praised a few more words for being a good child, and then instructed Mama Xu next to her, "I remember that Jing Duan just sent a pound of blood swallows over two days ago, you go and get some for Qianqian, so that she can make up for it." Turning around, Ah Guan also sent some over. ”

"Yes!" Mama Xu agreed to step back.

But the second lady on the side was not happy, she muttered quietly, "Ye Pavilion, even if she has saved a reputation for the Guogong Mansion, but in the final analysis, she uses the money in the mansion and the people in the mansion, so why should she be treated the same as Qianqian." ”

"Hu Shi, what are you talking about, I'm too old to hear clearly......" The old lady glanced at the second lady coldly, and asked sharply with her eyes.

The second lady opened her mouth and was about to say it out loud, but before she could speak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Then, a second-class maidservant girl ran in, knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said, "Old lady, there is a holy decree in the house, it is Gonggong Liang who personally announced the decree, and Grandpa Guo asks you to take the ladies and ladies to the front yard to receive the decree." ”

"I know, you let people go to the front yard and go back to Grandpa Guo, I'll take someone over now," the old lady endured her surprise and instructed the maidservant.

The handmaid took the order and withdrew.

The old lady glanced at Hu Shi coldly, and said, "Go to the front yard to receive the order first, and I'll talk to you when I come back." ”

The Hu family is now full of holy decrees, where do they have the heart to fight with the old lady Ye Pavilion, and immediately responded indiscriminately, and urged the old lady to go to the front yard again.

The old lady didn't bother to pay attention to her, and instructed Mama Xu to put on her shoes, and then walked out with the hands of the eldest lady and Qiao Qingqian......

In the front yard of Qiao's mansion, when everyone had arrived, Gonggong Liang opened the holy decree and said to everyone who knelt on the ground, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said...... Qiaoguo Mansion takes precautions, cares about the people, and runs a good hall, which is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people...... I am very relieved, and today I am specially enshrined Qiao Qingqian, the daughter of the second room of the Duke of Qiaoguo's mansion, as the lord of Yongfu County, with 300 households...... Chinchi! ”

After the decree was announced, Gonggong Liang said to Qiao Guogong and Mrs. Qiao Guogong who were kneeling on the ground, "Please get up, our family is here to congratulate you two first." ”

This county lord with a different surname has a food estate, but the Great Cloud Dynasty may not be able to produce one in a hundred years!

Qiao Guogong has been immersed in the court for many years, so he naturally knows this, he got up and thanked Liang Gonggong, and stuffed a double-sided embroidered purse towards Liang Gonggong.

When the water is clear, there is no fish, and Father-in-law Liang naturally will not refuse, he quietly put his purse into his sleeve, and then shook the whip and said goodbye.

Qiao Guogong saw Liang Gonggong leave, then turned around with his hands behind his back, glanced at Qiao Qingqian meaningfully, and said, "You are a blessed one." ”

Qiao Qingqian still seemed to be in a dream, until she heard Qiao Guogong's voice, she suddenly reacted, she raised her clear eyes and looked at her grandfather, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandfather, it was my cousin who ran the good hall, and she also used the dowry left by her aunt, but now the emperor's reward has fallen on me, and that cousin is ......."

The implication is that he doesn't want the position of the county lord.

When others heard what she thought, they didn't mention it for the time being, but the second lady was in a hurry, she pulled Qiao Qingqian fiercely, hating iron and not steel, "What do you say!" Since the emperor has made you the lord of the county, then this glory is yours, what does it have to do with your cousin, is it possible that you want the entire Guogong Mansion to follow you to resist the decree? ”

"That's not what I meant," Qiao Qingqian whispered.

The old lady glared at the second lady and sighed, "It is indeed not good for the Guogong Mansion to be stained with your cousin's light, but it is absolutely impossible to resist the decree, it is better to go to the north of the city and ask your cousin, if she is willing, then the position of the county lord, you will be used steadily, if she is unwilling, we will discuss other ideas." ”

"I listen to my grandmother," Qiao Qingqian said without hesitation.

Although the second lady was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey the old lady's opinion, and only looked at Qiao Guogong.

Qiao Guogong and his wife have been in love for many years, so naturally he will not refute her face, and immediately looked at Qiao Qingqian and said, "Your grandmother is right, you can go to your cousin in the north of the city and ask her what she means." ”

"Yes, grandfather, granddaughter will go now," she said, bowing to her elders and stepping back.

In the north of the city, Nanshan Alley Ziye House.

Hearing the news of Qiao Qingqian's arrival, Ye Guan was not very surprised, but he didn't see her either, just asked Liu Ping to bring him a message.

Liu Ping is the only son of Uncle Liu and the new housekeeper of Ye Zhai.

“…… That's what our young lady said, eldest young lady go back," Liu Ping finished conveying Ye Guan's words, and said politely to Qiao Qingqian.

Qiao Qingqian didn't expect Ye Guan to see her.

She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and did not leave immediately, but took two steps back, lifted her skirt and knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed three times in the direction of the Jade Pavilion.

After kowtowing, she left a jade pendant that she had worn since she was a child to Liu Ping, "Please give this token to my cousin, if she has anything difficult in the future, I will do everything to help her." ”

"Good!" Liu Ping agreed, and carefully put away the jade pendant.

Qiao Qingqian glanced at the door of the Ye Mansion reluctantly, then turned around and boarded the car to leave.

Liu Ping held the jade pendant, and he watched the carriage of the Qiao Guogong Mansion go out of the alley before walking towards the Ye Mansion.

Jade Hall.

Ye Guan propped his chin and looked thoughtfully at the jade pendant on the low table, with a faint smile in his eyes, he didn't expect that the bamboo could also produce good bamboo shoots, and a confused and calculating woman like the Hu family actually gave birth to a daughter with such a good character as Qiao Qingqian.

"Girl, the slave put away this jade pendant?" Yun Mei saw that his master's expression was gentle, and asked tentatively.

"No," Ye Guan refused directly, "Smash it." ”

"Smash...... Smashed? Yun Mei asked rhetorically, looking incredulous.

Ye Guan nodded slightly, "Yes, smashed." ”

"Why?" Yun Mei asked.

Ye Guan smiled imperceptibly, "I'm not going to ask her for help." ”

Yun Mei: Is this the only reason for "......"? Her master is really confident!

"Besides, if she has the heart to repay her kindness, it will be the same whether she has this jade pendant or not." On the contrary, if she has no intention of repaying the favor, even if she takes out the jade pendant at that time, she can find an excuse to excuse herself.

Between people, what is the token, credit is the most important.

Yun Mei thought about it for a long time before she gradually understood.

In Qiao Guogong's Mansion, everyone was waiting for Qiao Qingqian in the front yard, and now that they saw her coming back, the Hu family was the most anxious, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did your cousin say?" Did she agree? ”

Hearing this, Qiao Qingqian nodded slightly, but instead of looking at the Hu family, he looked at Qiao Guogong and the old lady and said, "My cousin didn't see my granddaughter, but I just asked the housekeeper Liu Ping to bring a message to my granddaughter." ”

"What?" Hu Shi didn't seem to feel Qiao Qingqian's indifference to her, and when he heard that Ye Guan just let people talk, he asked loudly.

Qiao Guogong and the old lady looked at Qiao Qingqian silently, looking like they were waiting for her to speak.

Qiao Qingqian was silent for a while before saying, "My cousin said that she used the people of Qiao Guogong's Mansion, and the money of Qiaoguo's Mansion, this luck was originally from Qiaoguo's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

"So, did she agree?" Hu Shi got the letter, and the whole person became excited, she grabbed Qiao Qingqian's arm tightly, and Qiao Qingqian couldn't help frowning when she was caught by her.

It was the old lady who noticed it and reminded her, "Hu, you hurt shallowly." ”

"Oh," the second lady heard the old lady's reminder, so she let go of Qiao Qingqian, and looked at her distressedly and said, "Qianqian, did my mother hurt you?" It's a mother, no. ”

"It's fine." Qiao Qingqian shook his head, and then told him about kowtowing to repay his kindness and leaving the jade pendant.

After hearing this, the old lady glanced at her approvingly, "Qianqian did the right thing, you sisters should support each other like this." ”

Qiao Qing smiled lightly and bowed his head.

Then, the old lady's eyes flickered, and she looked at the second lady again, and said unhappily, "Before receiving the order, what are you still muttering in the warm pavilion of the Southern Autumn Courtyard?" ”

The second lady was asked by the old lady on her face, a touch of scorn flashed on her face, and she said with a red face, "I, I just mean, Ah Guan is the lucky star of our Guogong Mansion, with her, my mother and father will be safe and sound, live a long life, and they will rise step by step......"

"It's like a sentence!" The old lady snorted and didn't bother with the second lady anymore.

Qiao Qing's shallow eyes drooped, and he hugged the old lady's arm at the right time, and said, "Grandmother, I'll help you go back to Nanqiu Courtyard." ”

"Okay," the old lady said softly to her granddaughter, turned around, and led everyone to the Nanqiu Courtyard......

That day, Qiao Qingqian had been staying in the old lady's warm pavilion for a long time, and he didn't get up to leave until late at night.

"The eldest lady is also a filial person," Mama Xu whispered to the old lady as she rested for her.

The old lady nodded, feeling the same way, "Although her mother is out of tune, but this child is a solid-eyed person, turn around, I will let you give Ah Guan what you want, give her thirty percent." Now that her identity is different, her dowry will naturally be more, and she can't let her in-laws look down on her in the future. ”

"What the old lady said is," Mama Xu agreed.

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said, "Tomorrow, I will personally send the things to Ah Guan." ”

"The old lady wants to go out in person?" Mama Xu was shocked, because of her high seniority and high grade, her master has rarely gone out in recent years, and she can even push it when she enters the palace, but she didn't expect that she is willing to go in person for the sake of Miss Biao.

"Well," the old lady nodded lightly, paused, and said, "Don't be too surprised, Ah Guan is my most beloved granddaughter, I am not a super lady, let alone an old man who is about to die, I am just an ordinary old man who misses his granddaughter." ”

Hearing her master say this, Mama Xu's eyes turned red unconsciously, and she sighed in a low voice, "It would be nice if Miss Danniang was still there." ”

At the mention of Jordan Niang, the old lady's voice was slightly choked, she patted Mama Xu's hand and said, "Don't mention those who are no longer there." ”

In the tone, there was sadness that could not be concealed.

Mama Xu listened, raised her hand and gently slapped her mouth, and said apologetically, "It's the old slave who trespassed." ”

The old lady did not speak again.

Because she decided to go to the north of the city to see the Ye Pavilion the next day, she slept very well this night.

The only thing she didn't expect was that the next day, as soon as she got up, Mama Xu stepped forward and said, "Old lady, the eldest lady came over before dawn, and she has been waiting in the warm pavilion, saying that she will personally serve you and get up." ”

"Oh," the old lady was now full of thoughts about Ye Pavilion, and only replied lightly when she heard this, "Then let her in." ”

"Yes, old lady." Mama Xu agreed, then bowed and retreated, inviting Qiao Qingqian in.

Qiao Qingqian used to serve the old lady often, because her movements were not unfamiliar, and she quickly served the old lady to change her clothes and comb her hair, and at this time, the breakfast in the small kitchen was also ready.

Qiao Qingqian waited for the old lady to have breakfast again.

After breakfast, the old lady was about to go out, so she said to Qiao Qingqian, "You go back first." ”

"Is there something wrong with my grandmother?" Qiao Qingqian asked tentatively.

The old lady nodded, and didn't hide it from her, "I'm going to go to the north of the city to see your cousin." ”

"Grandmother is going out?" Qiao Qing's face was hard to hide his surprise.

The old lady bowed, "Well, in the past few years, although my body is not as good as before, it has not reached the point where I can't move, so don't worry about it." ”

"I know that grandmother is going to live a long life," Qiao Qingqian said with a smile on his face. After the words fell, he paused for a moment, and said tentatively, "Grandmother, I actually want to go to see my cousin, can you take me to Nanshan Alley with me?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she hesitated a little and said euphemistically, "Last time you went, your cousin didn't seem to see you. ”

"......" Qiao Qingqian listened to the old lady's words, and a touch of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The old lady coughed lightly, knowing that she had hurt her granddaughter's face like this, so she patted her hand and said, "In this way, I will go over today to persuade your cousin, if she agrees, grandmother will take you to the door next time." ”

"It's okay, listen to my grandmother!" Qiao Qingqian lowered his head and agreed.

The old lady hummed and watched her leave, before walking out with Mama Xu.
