Nakatsuna returned to the mansion, jumped off his horse, and handed over the horse to the left and right guards to lead him, while he strode in the direction of the hall.

Nuo Min greeted him from the hall and smiled gently, "Master, you're back." This journey was fortunate, and the concubine asked Xia Er to pour you a cup of tea to drink. Nomin took the cloak that Nakatsuna had untied with one hand, and winked at Midsummer behind him.

Zhong Gang was about to say that there was no need to bother, but he saw that his third son Zhongxia had already brought a cup of tea, "Father, please drink tea." ”

Zhong Gang swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, reached out and took the cup of black tea, raised his head, drank it all, a smile appeared on his face, and praised: "Or Min'er, you know me best, and I like to drink black tea when you know me." Recently, my father-in-law has not been at home, so I am fortunate to be sorry for you. ”

He knew that his eldest lady was devoted to worshipping the Buddha and didn't care about world affairs at all; The second lady came from a humble background, and although she was also in charge of part of the family's industry, she was not as good as the third lady.

Nuo Min bent down and replied: "Master, you are too outward, this is a matter within the status of a concubine, so how fortunate is it." By the way, sir, didn't you hear about resisting the Meng Yuan army in Tanggu County, why did you suddenly come back? ”

Zhong Gang's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "The eldest lady is in the house?" ”

Nuo Min nodded and said, "My sister is still in the Buddha Hall, and the concubine ordered the kitchen to bring her food a moment ago." ”

"Humph! I know how to chant scriptures and chant Buddha all day long, and I don't care about everything at home, do you still regard yourself as the mistress of Zhongfu? angered her husband and smashed her broken Buddha hall. Zhong Gang said angrily.

Nuo Min was shocked and said, "Master, what's wrong?" Where did my sister make you angry, please take care of your body. Besides, haven't you been like this for so many years? ”

Zhong Gang remembered the secret letter he had gotten, which recorded the matter between his eldest lady Yin Yanrou and the current Xia Emperor Yao Chengde, even if one night had passed, his heart still wanted to go crazy, and an urge to kill swelled up.

But soon, he calmed down, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said coldly: "It's none of your business, don't ask too much." You can continue to get busy, my father has something to do with the eldest lady. ”

Nuo Min immediately lowered his head and said solemnly: "It's the concubine who is too talkative, and the concubine will retire." Seeing Zhong Gang's back as she threw off her sleeves and left, the corners of her mouth showed a hint of mockery.

……

……

Looking at the rich and luxurious private garden that occupies dozens of acres of land in front of him, Su Ziheng praised it: "The Guogong Mansion is different, if I can live in such a big mansion in the future, I will be satisfied." ”

Zhong Qinghan covered his mouth and chuckled, "Is this difficult for you?" With the cement invented by Ziheng, this alone can earn tens of thousands of family fortunes, and it is not a problem to build such a mansion in the future. Besides, I didn't promise to help you plan a mountain forest for you to create a paradise, what are you worried about? ”

Su Ziheng smiled and arched his hand: "Then Xiaosheng will rely more on Miss Qinghan for everything." ”

After entering the Xiliang Mansion, looking at the dozens of courtyards large and small, Su Ziheng was a little dazzled, "Qinghan, your mansion is so big, do you know where to find Xiliang Gong?" ”

Zhong Qinghan nodded briskly, and the smile on his face couldn't stop appearing, "Let's go, I'll take you to my father." I know where he is, and every time he comes back from an expedition, he will go to the Buddhist hall in the backyard to find my mother as soon as possible. ”

Su Ziheng's eyes showed envy, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect your parents' relationship to be so good, it's really desirable." ”

Zhong Qinghan waved his hand, stopped Lian Feng and Tie Shan and the others from following, and only took Su Ziheng with him, and said as he walked: "Ziheng, you are right, my father really loves my mother, and never forced her to do things she doesn't like. ”

"Although my mother is the wife of Xiliang Gong, she usually doesn't like to manage the chores in the house, and she recites scriptures and recites Buddha in the Buddhist hall all day long, and my father does not allow the people in the house to disturb her. After I was born, because I was suffering from the Nine Yin Absolute Pulse, my physique has been very poor, and my mother was worried that I would not grow up, so she took care of me wholeheartedly. ”

"Later, my mother was afraid that the children who would have another child would be the same as me, so she repeatedly refused to give birth to a son-in-law for my father, and my father never blamed her, but was even more accommodating to my mother, saying that it was okay to pass on the title of Duke of Xiliang to her daughter in the future."

Su Ziheng was suddenly moved, in this feudal era, the meaning of the son-in-law is self-evident. Zhong Gang agreed to pass on the title of Duke of Guo to his daughter just because Zhong Qinghan's mother was unwilling to have any more children, how affectionate this is!

"But...... I always felt that my mother was lukewarm to my father, and since I was a child, although I have never seen them quarrel, I have never seen my mother warm to my father. Ever since I grew up, I've been chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall all day long, and I don't know what the Buddhist scriptures are good about! In the future, when I take power, I will definitely sweep away all the Buddhist temples in the world. ”

As he spoke, Zhong Qinghan's voice gradually lowered, "It's just, I'm afraid I'll never see that day again......"

Su Ziheng couldn't help but grab her cold jade palm, put it in his hand, and comforted softly: "Light cold, believe me, there is no endless road." There must be a way to cure your Nine Yin Absolute Vein, I promise you! ”

Zhong Qinghan only felt that his hands were surrounded by warmth, his face was flushed, he looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed the actions of the two of them, so he didn't break away, and let him grasp it like this.

It wasn't until she was about to step into the temple that she withdrew her hand, worried that her parents would see it and it would be difficult to explain it.

After the cold, weak and boneless jade hand was withdrawn, Su Ziheng felt a sense of loss, and at the same time, a sense of guilt rose in his heart, is this considered sorry Ji Xiaoxiao?

You must know that her maid Ji Xiaohan entered Xining City with her, and along the way, she must have seen that she and Zhong Qinghan had a close relationship, I don't know how she will arrange herself when she sees Ji Xiaoxiao in the future?

Suddenly, Zhong Qinghan showed a sly smile on his face, like a little fox stealing food, and said with a wicked smile: "Ziheng, do you want to hear what my father will say to my mother when he comes back this time?" I knew there was a hidden place to eavesdrop. ”

Su Ziheng was sweating profusely when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhong Qinghan to have such a gossip mind, and even had to eavesdrop on the conversation of his parents. He wanted to refuse in his heart, but he didn't obey the call and Zhong Qinghan secretly walked in the other direction.

Well, it's quite exciting to overhear a countryman talking about private love.

The two tiptoed to the back window of the Buddhist hall, where the environment is very hidden, opposite is a bamboo forest, both sides are blocked, and ordinary people rarely notice here. Coupled with the seclusion of the Buddhist hall, there are even fewer people coming. Just right for the two of them to eavesdrop.

The two looked at each other and smiled, put their ears to the window, but unexpectedly heard a low roar full of anger coming from inside the Buddhist hall:

"Say, whose child is Qinghan?"
