Yun Xiu thought about it carefully, as if she hadn't told Qin Qingsu, she came to the small mansion, and said to Chunliu: "You will go to the Hou Mansion in a while, and send the contents of the food box to the Qin family's carriage, don't say who sent it, Su Su will know when she opens it." “

Chunliu sighed, closed the lid of the box, and asked the little guy to prepare the car.

She hurried slowly, saw the Qin family's carriage at the gate of the Hou Mansion, took the food box over, briefly explained a few words to the coachman, and was about to leave, when a little girl came out of the corner door and shouted: "Sister Chunliu." “

Chunliu glanced back, it was the subordinate who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard of the little marquis, and he couldn't help but be a little kind, and went over to say hello: "Why did you come out today?" “

The little girl smiled embarrassedly: "The little marquis and the eldest grandmother are not here, my mother sees that I don't have much to do, so she gives me more days off, Sister Chunliu knows not to spread it to the ears of the eldest grandmother, thinking that we are lazy." “

"What is there to say about this," Chunliu reassured her, and then remembered something and asked, "Hey, is there a girl from the Qin family who went to find the eldest grandmother?" “

"No," the little girl shook her head, "I've been staying in the courtyard, and I haven't just gone out, and I haven't seen anyone coming." How? Big grandma has guests? “

Chunliu said no, keep an eye on it, "Grandma knows a lot of people now, and she is pregnant, so I can't help but visit the little masters, I saw you, and I thought of asking a mouth." “

The little girl patted her chest and promised: "Sister, don't worry, someone is coming, I must have said it earlier." “

"I know you're sincere," Chunliu said, took out eight pieces of broken silver from his waist and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, "Oh, grandma rewarded it." You take it, although she is not in the house, but she often thinks about you, and she is worried that Mother Kang will not count people with chicken feathers as arrows. “

The low-status servants in the palace have all been arranged by Kang's mother, and because she is by the side of the lord of Pingkang, she dares to be angry and dare not speak.

The little girl understood, and nodded again and again: "Trouble my sister told the grandmother that the slave and maid have a cheap life, and she only wants to follow a good master, the eldest grandmother is kind, thinking of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are grateful in her heart, and tell the grandmother to just rest assured, there are slaves and maids in the house, and they will not let go of any chicken and dog." “

Harunyu patted her hand with satisfaction. "With your words, grandma will definitely sleep soundly, I still have something, Ming'er will come to you at this time."

The little girl said yes.

Chunliu returned to the small mansion and told Yun Xiu about what she had experienced, and she was afraid that she would think too much, so she turned around and said, "Grandma, Ming'er slave and maid will go again and listen to what to say." “

Yun Xiu hummed, "I haven't been back home for a while, I should find someone to keep an eye on, you meet that girl tomorrow and tell her that from next month, give an extra eight cents of broken silver every month, and ask her to put it away and don't let others know." “

Chunliu nodded in explanation.

The next day, Chunliu came to the corner gate as promised, and the little girl was already waiting for her.

Without waiting for Chunliu to ask, the little girl took the initiative to speak: "Sister, how long will grandma live outside?" “

Chunliu: "Okay, why do you ask about this?" “

The little girl said: "I inquired around yesterday, and there were indeed guests in the house, but they didn't come to find the eldest grandmother, but to find the county lord's mother." “

Chunliu frowned: "Looking for the county lord's mother?" Does anyone know? “

"It's a girl, she said it was the Qin family." The little girl said, "My mother explained that the Qin family is a distinguished guest and should not be neglected, but yesterday the girl didn't seem to be very popular." “

"How?"

"The distinguished guests of the Hou Mansion are so good to leave someone for a meal, but that girl will sit with the county lord and leave after a while." The little girl said while recalling, "It shouldn't be, I'm afraid I'm wrong to inquire, and I asked a few little guys who looked at the gate, and they said it was the Qin family's carriage, which must be right." “

Chunliu sighed meaningfully, "It's not welcome, and it's not a big deal." “

"My sister is so confused." Don't talk about the other party, "Even I can see clearly, my sister can't see clearly?" This girl from the Qin family doesn't come early or late, but she looks for the county lord when the eldest grandmother is away, who knows what kind of heart she has? “

"Anyway, you keep staring." Chunliu told her the address of the small house, "In case something really happens, you can't come out and ask the little guy next to the steward to run an errand, and it will be more convenient for him to go out of the house than you." “

The little girl said yes repeatedly.

Turning his head, Chunliu returned to the small house and took the initiative to call Yun Xiu back.

"Su Su went to find the Lord of Pingkang?" Yun Xiu was a little incredulous, "Didn't you ask what was going on?" “

Chunliu shook her head: "Grandma, that little girl is an understanding, she can inquire and find out earlier, the slave maid wants her to stare first, and the girl also advises you to go back early, I am afraid that Miss Susu will not be well." “

But Qin Qingsu's family background, the lord of Pingkang can't look down on it, Yun Xiu thought to himself, what can he do?

"Grandma, in the shallow view of the slave maid, don't send food to the Qin family girl of the Lao Shizi," Chunliu hugged her grievances, "You are kind and kind, people may not accept your dignity, this time Baba ran to the county lord to show her eyes, a girl's family has no face and no skin on the pole." “

"Who doesn't have the face to put on the pole?" Ling Xiao's voice suddenly appeared at the door, startling the master and servant in the house.

Chunliu immediately stepped aside and whispered: "Back to the little marquis, the slave didn't say anything." “

Yun Xiu called her down and got up to welcome people in: "It's not noon, why did you come back?" “

Ling Xiao put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her: "Raid to see what bad things you are doing, sure enough, I didn't go there and started scolding, saying, who did Chunliu scold just now?" “

"Oh, she's quick to call the girl, you still care about this," Yun Xiu asked someone to set the meal, "If you're hungry, take your hands first." “

"Chunliu's mouth is sharp enough." Ling Xiao wiped the water on his hands, "You taught it." “

"I didn't teach," Yun Xiu glanced at him and said sarcastically, "When I saw this girl talking neatly, I wanted to come over to serve, and when I was in Yangzhou, it was good, but when I came to the capital to enter the Hou Mansion, it changed, and I wondered." “

"Don't turn around and curse." Ling Xiao was so happy that he squeezed her, "You don't have time to teach in Yangzhou, come to the capital to teach." “

"You're talking nonsense again?" Yun Xiu glared at him, "I'll move your things to the east wing in the afternoon." “

Ling Xiao was not annoyed: "It's cold at night, I'll go to the East Wing, how pitiful it is for you to sleep alone in a cold bed." “

After speaking, he gave her a sympathetic look: "Little pitiful." “

"Believe it or not, I'll move now." Yun Xiu bit his heart to death, "Say it again, say it again!" “

Ling Xiao stopped squeaking, humming a little song and eating with chopsticks.

Halfway through the meal, Yun Xiu thought about it, and mentioned Qin Qingsu's going to the Hou Mansion, she wanted to see Ling Xiao's reaction.

Ling Xiao didn't seem to be surprised, "The Hou Mansion receives a lot of worship posts a year, and everyone sees it, the threshold has already been flattened, my mother may be unwilling, but the side branch of the Qin family is also surnamed Qin, for the sake of General Qin's face." Leave three points of thin noodles. “

Yun Xiu was unhappy: "But why did she go to her mother-in-law without saying a word when we were not in the mansion?" “

"Looking for a good future? Who knows. Ling Xiao asked her to eat quickly, "My mother is active in the Beijing circle, and she often walks in the palace, and the sea of people has gone, everyone has it, and she can't finish thinking about it, I will accompany you all day long, what are you worried about?" “

"I'm worried that her old man will want to stuff people around you." Yun Xiu didn't have a good breath, "A family has a child, and if I change the square plug twice, I will soon become a frightened bird." “

Ling Xiao thought to himself that the vinegar jar was coming again, "What should be said, I told the old man a long time ago, my mother doesn't listen, what can I do, you can't let me bear the infamy of disloyalty and unfilial piety." “

"Hurry up and be your great filial son." Yun Xiu stopped eating, got up and went to the couch to nest, "Go back quickly, leave us alone." “

"Don't go back, don't go back." Ling Xiao hurriedly coaxed, picked out her favorite braised elbow, and came over with a bowl, "I know you haven't eaten enough, come on, I'll feed you." “

"I don't want you to feed it," Yun Xiu said as he took a bite of the meat, and said strongly, "It's your son who wants to eat, not me." “

"It's all the same." Ling Xiao leaned over the chopsticks, "Eat on the table, don't be angry." “

Yun Xiu straightened his hands and said cowardly, "Hold me over." “

"You're not afraid of falling." Ling Xiao felt that her flesh hadn't grown in vain in the past few months, and she was dead, "One jar of rice and 100 catties, you can catch up with two cylinders." “

Yun Xiu didn't move at the moment, waited to sit down, returned to his position, and made up for his feet.

After that, the two didn't mention the name Qin Qingsu again, Chunliu went to the Hou Mansion every once in a while to find a little girl to inquire about the situation in the house, Qin Qingsu became a frequent visitor to the county lord of Pingkang, as long as the county lord was in the house, she came over to chat and relieve boredom, beating her legs and pinching her shoulders.

"I gave birth to a pair of very beautiful hands." The lord of Pingkang thinks that although Qin Qingsu is not as bright as Yun Xiu, he can have a pair of slender jade hands. better than many girls, "It's a pity that the child is in the belly of my aunt." “

"The county lord's mother is Mingjian, the parents of the body and skin, and the little girl can't complain about anyone," Qin Qingsu smiled without showing her teeth, spoke softly, sat and stood and sitting, and tried her best to show everyone's beautiful demeanor.

"That's right," Pingkangjun showed a little pity, "It's rare that you are so open-minded and don't hold a grudge against your eldest lady." “

Qin Qingsu opened her eyes and said nonsense: "The eldest mother is not partial, and treats the children in the family equally." “

This is the scene, the lord of Pingkang County saw that many mothers-in-law abused and beat the concubines, and he had compassion for the girl in front of him, "Good boy, you will call the sassy girl in the future and come to the Hou Mansion to play together." “

Qin Qingsu nodded lightly, and excused herself: "The little girl is afraid of disturbing the county lord's mother and the old marquis, just don't be noisy." “

Lord Pingkang was coaxed to be happy, and said to Kang's mother with a smile: "This child is strange and hurts. “

Kang's mother responded: "The county lord likes Miss Qin, so she asks people to come to the door often." “

A group of mothers-in-law in the house followed suit.

After sending Qin Qingsu away, the main branch of Pingkang County took away the other subordinates and asked Kang's mother: "What do you think of the girl from the side branch of the Qin family?" “

Kang's mother knew the cold and the hot and said: "Slaves don't look at people, and the county lord's satisfaction is the most important thing." “

Lord Pingkang smiled, picked up the teacup and said: "Mrs. Wen is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is sensible, but the one on the side is the same as Yun Xiu, she can't tolerate bias and suppresses it badly." Fang Cai Su girl said that she was not partial, and I listened to it worrying. “

"The slave said that you are kind," Kang's mother mentioned, "You also pity the eldest grandmother at the beginning, the eldest grandmother just entered the mansion, the old marquis asked her if she was wronged, she said no, you forgot." “

"Well, you're right." Pingkang County's main taste of tea, "It is difficult to know the heart of the person, observe it for a while, and then say, this time you can't be reckless." “

As for Qin Qingsu, since she was invited by the county lord of Pingkang, she went back to tell the eldest lady, and the eldest lady's attitude towards her improved, even if it was only superficial, she felt that life was much better.

And the county lord mentioned Qin Sasa, Qin Qingsu didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he took the time to go to the general's mansion to discuss with this aunt.

"I'm not going." Qin Sasa said impatiently, "I told you last time, I hate red tape, you can't understand people's words?" “

"But the county lord asks you and me to go with me, if you don't go, I'm embarrassed alone." Qin Qingsu begged her, "Can you help me succeed?" “

Qin Sasa has a big heart, but he is not stupid, and snorted coldly: "My mother said that the lord of Pingkang County is a person who is holding on weekdays, she can open her mouth to invite you to prove that she is optimistic about you, it can be seen that you have been to the Hou Mansion more than once, this will say sorry, is it hypocritical?" “

"Me??" Qin Qingsu was pierced in his mind, dumbfounded, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Qin Sasa is not a master to be messed with, "Susu, my mother said that you have a hard life, and she wants me to take you, don't let people bully you, you are good, move my mind to move my head, even so, start Ming'er, don't come to me again, don't talk to me, we don't see each other!" “

"No, Sa, Sa??"

Before Qin Qingsu's words fell, Qin Sassa flew up to the tile and ran away from the roof of the verandah.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sasa not only did not cooperate, but the relationship between the two was also stiff.

Qin Qingsu was sullen and nested in the house for several days, the door did not go out of the second door, thinking back to Ling Xiao's back at the hall meeting, the more he thought about it, the more fascinated he became, if Ling Xiao took out half of Yun Xiu's goodness, for her, the eldest lady and the mother-in-law in the backyard would never dare to suppress her again.

??

The lord of Pingkang hadn't seen Qin Qingsu for a while, and he missed it a little, so he called Kang's mother: "You go to Qin's house to see if Su is sick, or her aunt suppressed this child, if it's okay, ask her to come and sit in my house." “

Kang's mother took the order.

The eldest lady of the side branch of the Qin family made a lot of calculations, but she didn't count the day when the sparrow would also climb the branches, so she hurriedly called Qin Qingsu and handed it to Mother Kang.

People brought it, and the lord of Pingkang County saw that the little girl was not in a high mood, and said with concern: "I haven't seen you this time, but you are not feeling well?" “

Qin Qingsu pursed his lips and shook his head.

Lord Pingkang asked again: "Why don't you come?" “

Qin Qingsu hesitated, lowered her head and wrung her veil and said, "Last time, the county lord's mother asked the little girl to come with Sasa, and the little girl looked for her, but she couldn't come if she had something, and the little girl didn't dare to come because she didn't do a good job of explaining." “

"Ouch, stupid boy." Lord Pingkang thought it was a big deal, and said with a smile, "I want your sisters to have a companion, which is to give you an errand, don't stand, sit down." “

He also asked Kang's mother to serve tea and fruits, "This is the jade milk of Guozong sent from the palace, sweet and sweet, you can taste it." “

Qin Qingsu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, took a small bite, and it was really sweeter than the ordinary pear at home, so she hurriedly got up and thanked her, "It's the first time that the little girl has eaten such a delicious fruit sect." “

"If you like, take some back." The county lord of Pingkang felt that she was much more well-behaved and obedient than Yun Xiu, and was very satisfied, "Originally, they were left for Brother Xiao'er, but they are not in the house, and they should not eat." “

"Otherwise, the little girl will send it to the little marquis and the eldest grandmother." Qin Qingsu seized every opportunity to see Ling Xiao, "As long as the county lord doesn't think the little girl is stupid." “

Someone offered to run errands for his son, but the county lord of Pingkang, He Lebu: "It's okay, I'll ask Kang's mother to give you an address in a while, and send this half of the box of Guozong over." “

Qin Qingsu smiled and nodded.

She stood at the main entrance of the small house, on the round vermilion lacquer door, the copper door knocker was polished, and the flower case of "and concentric" carved on the door sleeper stone on both sides was no different from the façade of the person with a slight status in the capital.

But the more this is the case, the more bottomless Qin Qingsu's heart becomes, she thinks that Ling Xiao, like most children of the family, is flamboyant and loves to show off.

"Who is the girl looking for?" The little guy who opened the door poked his head out, looked at her without a trace, and asked politely.

Qin Qingsu smiled: "Excuse me, is the little marquis here?" I'm here to deliver Guozong jade milk. “

"You're from the Hou Mansion, right?" Seeing that she was not dressed like a servant, the little maid opened half of the door and invited her in, "Girl, wait a minute, wait for the little messenger." “

Yun Xiu didn't expect Qin Qingsu to come to the small mansion, and she didn't expect that the county lord of Pingkang would ask her to bring the pears in the palace, and asked Chunliu for tea while asking, "Why don't you say it in advance, I have prepared a few dishes, and it just so happens that the little marquis is about to return, so let's eat together and then leave." “

Hearing that Ling Xiao was not there, Qin Qingsu couldn't help but be disappointed, and shook his head, "Grandma is kind, and Auntie is still waiting for me to go back to eat, so don't bother the two of you." “

As he was talking, Chunliu's voice came from outside the door: "Grandma, the little marquis is back." “

"Say Cao Cao Cao arrived," Yun Xiu greeted him out, stroked his stomach and took the horsewhip in Ling Xiao's hand, and said with a smile, "Su Su is here, I was talking about leaving her to eat." “

Ling Xiao sighed, looked at the people sitting in the hall, greeted him too lazy to fight, and only said to Yun Xiu, "You can stay if you want, the food is good, I'm starving." “

Qin Qingsu was about to leave, but when he saw Ling Xiao coming back, he didn't want to leave, so he was restless and in a dilemma.

Yun Xiu saw that she didn't really want to leave, so she asked Chunliu to add more dishes and chopsticks, and asked the housekeeper to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Ling Xiao and the guests.

Qin Qingsu ate quietly throughout the whole process, secretly paying attention to the two people beside him. Several times I found that under the table, Ling Xiao's hand on his knee was transferred to Yun Xiu's thigh without a trace.

Yun Xiu was hindered by the presence of guests, so it was difficult to have a seizure, so he could only move his body to avoid hairy hands and feet.

"Are you determined not to let me eat?" Sending Qin Qingsu away, Yun Xiu's embroidered eyebrows were almost knotted, staring at the hippie smiling person, angry, "What are you laughing at?" What do you ask? “

Ling Xiao caught the soft pillow that smashed over: "Don't be polite next time." “

Yun Xiu's eyes were full of ridicule, "I thought they were all the same as you, the little overlord of the Beijing circle, who would dare to provoke it." “

"I'm not an overlord," Ling Xiao denied very seriously, "Even if it is, it's in the past." Now he is dragged into the hole and gnawed on the bones. “

"Your skin is made of water and sand, not only thick, but even the wind can't blow through." Yun Xiu's stomach is too big to reach his shoes, otherwise he really wants to fly a shoe in his face and listen to the sound.

Ling Xiao was so cheap that he suddenly thought of a kind of fish, which was very suitable for metaphor, "Hey, have you ever seen a pufferfish?" It's the kind of river fresh that bulges into a ball when you poke it, and you have a round belly now, very similar. “

Yun Xiu casually picked up the soft pillow behind his waist and smashed two in a row.

Ling Xiao didn't hide, he was hit twice in a row, and after being beaten, he squeezed onto the couch to make amends. The little marquis can't be beaten in vain, and it can't be done if it doesn't hurt.

Yun Xiu is not an opponent with all his strength, so he can only wait for the other party to stop.

Her belly was growing extremely fast, Ling Xiao didn't dare to be as happy as before, so he pulled her into the inner room and sat on the bed to talk.

"The hot water is ready, you can take a bath and come back." Yun Xiu picked up the half-embroidered little belly pocket and said to him, "I'm going to sleep in a while, and the doctor also wants me to rest early, nourish my spirit, and facilitate childbirth." “

"No, please invite a few more doctors, it's best to ask the old doctor of the hospital to check the pulse." In fact, Ling Xiao was more nervous than Yun Xiu in his heart, Qi Yuheng said that a woman giving birth to a child was a ghost door to close the door, he didn't understand it before, but now looking at Yun Xiu's belly that is getting bigger day by day, the more he thinks about it, the more panicked he becomes.

"Or you sleep now." What kind of small clothes does he want to make, how many embroiderers there are in the capital, and he is afraid that his son will have no clothes to wear, so he spread out the quilt and urged, "Hurry up and sleep, I'll come after washing." “

The night is cold, the house is burned with a bronze gilt smoked cage, the bottom is silver carbon, the top gilt round hat can put spices, hot baking, benzoin crushed into powder, the calm and restrained aroma slowly dispersed, Yun Xiu sniffed and sniffed and fell asleep.

When Ling Xiao came, he asked Chunliu to pour out the remaining spices, then lay the person down and sleep, and hugged his little wife to sleep.

In fact, Yun Xiu didn't fail to see Qin Qingsu's intention to run errands for the lord of Pingkang County, but as the months got bigger and bigger, she had a lot of inconveniences, and people were easily tired, and she had insufficient energy.

The success of the county lord of Pingkang, she guessed seven or eight points.

Yuxiang was born from a low background, carried through the house, and the children born were not as good as the concubines, but the side branches of the Qin family could carry the concubines into the house, and Qin Qingsu came out and became the concubines of the Hou Mansion, which was a great face.

Mother-in-law is really a thief??

Yun Xiu slowly rubbed his eyebrows. I don't want to go back to the house to block myself, but I have to think of ways to take Qin Qingsu away.

She thought about it, held a church meeting in Changchun Garden, and invited a famous Kunqu opera actor, also known as a good relationship in the Beijing circle, and Ling Xiao's colleagues, with a beautiful name, and many people.

This day is really lively, Ling Xiao and a group of young masters chatting and farting, Hu Kanshankan, opposite the verandah is the girl's house in the Beijing circle, two groups of people around half a circle, the atrium sets up a stage, and the string master sits under the stage, neither blocking the sight. I can still hear it clearly.

She also invited Yun Ying, Qi San's grandmother's circle is mostly a little lady, nothing to sit together to eat melon seeds and drink tea, listen to the drama Secondly, some people are good things, and some people have the purpose of choosing a brother and daughter-in-law for their brothers, whispering to each other.

Yun Xiu's current identity naturally sat in the middle of the little lady, leaned over next to her, and asked: "The girl sitting next to Miss Qin, looking at Miansheng, whose family is it?" “

"The Qin family." Yun Xiu glanced at it and replied with a smile, "I didn't come out much before, no, General Qin came back from Jizhou, and Sasa took this cousin and sister out to play." “

"Cousins? Qin family side branch? The other party smiled knowingly, "I said, I haven't seen this girl, she is a concubine or a concubine?" “

"Concubine." Yun Xiu said, "There is a haunted girl next to the Qin family. “

"I remember," the tone was full of disdain, "The lady of the side branch of the Qin family, I heard earlier that people have a belly of sons, and they are a powerful house, but I didn't expect this to let a concubine show up, and eighty percent of them intended to slap General Qin's family, so they had to do it." “

Yun Xiu heard about the side branch for the first time: "What do you mean by this?" “

The other party smiled secretively and said with a deep smile, "General Qin is a baby girl, the girl can't play with the kid when she is older, and the side branch is close to the water, let her own girl be a playmate, and the famous master of the Beijing circle, I thought about the Song family before, I don't want to think about it, the eldest son marries the concubine, don't you make jokes?" “
