After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Daochuan really began to prepare for the sacrifice. He was going to go to Jincheng first, and then to Qingzhou, and Zhongzhan, Zhonglan, and Zhongqi took leave in the college.

Ruoshu saw him working hard to fulfill his promise with great fanfare, and a trace of warmth appeared in his heart.

In the past few years, he has been riddled with mundane things, and has always wanted to return to Qingzhou, but he has never been able to do so.

The day before departure, the old lady who had said that she would not go suddenly changed her mind and insisted on going. On the day of departure, He Shiqing's carriage and horses had already been prepared, and when he saw Qin Daochuan, he stepped forward and said: "Chuanlang, how can Shiqing, as the daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, be absent when you go back to Jincheng to worship such a major event?" ”

The old lady answered: "Shiqing is right, it's not too early, let's start quickly!" ”

Qin Daochuan didn't dare to look back, but Ruoshu got into the carriage as if he had nothing to do with him.

When he was resting at noon, Qin Daochuan finally got free, got off the horse and got into Ruoshu's carriage, regardless of the presence of Ah Yun next to him, and said directly: "Shu'er, I really didn't know in advance. ”

Ruoshu said, "Ah Yun, go down and take a walk." ”

After everyone left, Ruoshu said indifferently: "I don't care, what do you care?" ”

Qin Daochuan moved to her side, found a place to lie down, dragged Ruoshu's quilt over his body, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Ruo Shu was anxious and said, "Your gray ......" but did not get any response.

When he set off again, Qin Daochuan said that he had a headache and was in the car.

Ah Yun was the happiest, and from time to time asked him where he didn't paint well, Qin Daochuan was interested, lying on the small table with her, you draw branches, I draw birds, comment on each other, and are very happy.

When he arrived in Jincheng in the evening, Qin Daochuan said to the patriarch who came to greet him: "Now the emperor and queen believe in frugality, we are already swaggering, the banquet must not be there again, tomorrow we will sacrifice, tonight we need to bathe and change clothes, let alone meat, just prepare some vegetarian dishes and use them separately." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Ruoshu behind him and said, "Madame will also use some food together today to set some example for her children." ”

Ruoshu, who had been keeping his head down, looked at the feet in front of him and just wanted to step on them fiercely.

Who knew that after Qin Daochuan finished speaking, he actually climbed on her shoulder and said, "Tired, right?" I'll help you in. After speaking, he turned his head to Zhong Zhan and Xianya and said, "Don't just take care of yourself, you two should help your great-grandmother." ”

Ruoshu didn't find a chance to get out all night, and endured Qin Daochuan's unusual hospitality.

Finally returned to the house, and after resting, Ruoshu said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Qin Daochuan lay on the bed leisurely and said, "Quickly cut through the mess." ”

"So you're going to move me around?" Ruoshu said.

"It would be better if you cooperated a little more." Qin Daochuan said.

"I really don't know what to do with all this red tape? I cut one last time, and I'm not afraid of someone seeking revenge. "Ruo Shu means something.

Qin Daochuan said: "So it's not interesting, but the ancestral tomb is here, so what can it do." ”

On the second day, during the sacrifice, after the old lady finished worshipping, Qin Daochuan pulled Ruoshu and said: "Mrs. has been giving birth to children in the house all these years, and has been busy with family affairs, and has not been able to come to worship in person. ”

Ruoshu's back tooth sockets were about to be crushed, and everyone had to follow him to worship one by one, Qin Daochuan actually asked his children to follow behind, and he bowed three times and knocked nine times in a proper manner, reported to his home, and tossed for nearly an hour.

In addition to lamenting that Qin Daochuan, the last person in the clan was thriving, they looked at He Shiqing who was standing aside, no matter how she pretended to be calm, she couldn't hide the paleness of her face. In the past, Qin Daochuan was so cold to her, outsiders only guessed that she was the one who showed off in front of the people who entered and exited the palace, she was the one who sat next to the old lady in the clan and socialized with the female dependents, and she was also the one who offered incense to the ancestors on behalf of the housewife.

It's not that she didn't think that the Lu clan would come to compete with her one day, she even fantasized about countless scenes where the Lu clan was embarrassed because she didn't understand etiquette, but she didn't think that one day Qin Daochuan would personally come on the field, lift her up to the clouds, and step himself into the quagmire.

After finally finishing the worship, Ruoshu even had some difficulty standing up, Qin Daochuan asked thoughtfully: "You are weak, this will be better for a while, I will accompany you over there to rest for a while." ”

Next, only He Shiqing was the only one who did not worship, Ruo Shu walked away, and said softly: "It's too much, right?" ”

Qin Daochuan continued: "It's not me who is excessive. ”

Ruoshu is a little strange about Qin Daochuan's change of attitude this time, it is said that with his personality, he will not be so face-blowing in front of people anyway, if something goes wrong, he will be a demon, if he says that it is only for himself, Ruoshu will not believe it.

Not only Qin Daochuan, but even the old lady's attitude this time was a little ambiguous, it stands to reason that Qin Daochuan is so favoritism, she should have spoken out a long time ago.

What is the purpose?

Qin Daochuan didn't seem to see her suspicious eyes, and he was determined to perform this play until the end of the sacrifice.

When leaving Jincheng, Qin Daochuan was explaining to Qin Xi, who was sending the old lady back to Beijing, and Zhong Zhan answered: "Why don't I send my great-grandmother back to Beijing, Qingzhou can also go next year." ”

Qin Daochuan said: "You are the eldest son, how can you not go?" ”

It's a pity that Zhong Zhan didn't hear his words, only heard the word eldest son, and then said: "My great-grandmother returned to Beijing alone, and I, as the eldest son, should accompany me, so my father can go with confidence." ”

Qin Daochuan was afraid that Ruoshu would hear it, and wanted to persuade him again, but who knew that Zhongzhan said to Ruoshu, who was about to get in the car, "Mother, I will accompany my great-grandmother back to Beijing first, and then go to Qingzhou to worship next year." ”

Ruoshu nodded, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to his children: "You can also go back to Beijing first, the journey is far away, it's too much of a toss." ”

In the end, Zhongqi and Zhongyuan both chose to return to the capital with Zhongzhan, and Xianya stayed because the old lady was unwell.

Ruoshu chuckled and asked Zhonglan and Ah Yun: "You can also go back to Beijing together." Zhongli and Xianke are too young, so they can only go back to Qingzhou with me. ”

Zhonglan said: "Mother, father is not free, Zhongli has been following me for the past few days, and I also want to go to Qingzhou to see." ”

Ah Yun continued: "Mother, you are not at home, what should I do alone? I'm not going back. ”

Ruoshu smiled and got into the car.

Qin Daochuan watched all this helplessly.

Because there were fewer people, Qin Daochuan decided to follow lightly, leaving only two carriages, one for Ruoshu with his two daughters, and one for the accompanying maid and nurse.

Zhongli couldn't stay in the car at all, Qin Daochuan simply tied him around his waist with a bib, and was afraid that he would cough in the wind, so he asked him to bring a face towel, that's it, he was actually willing, seeing everything was fresh, and asking non-stop.

On the way back to Beijing, Zhong Zhan proudly said to Zhong Qi and Zhong Yuan: "It's a shame that you are still hesitant, didn't you say that you didn't go to Qingzhou and stay in the capital to play?" ”

Zhong Qi asked, "Eldest brother, did you really ask someone to play polo?" ”

Zhong Zhan said: "Of course, I have already made an appointment, don't practice too much, won't I lose to those people next time." ”

Zhongyuan said: "Eldest brother, I also want to play. ”

Zhong Zhan glanced at him and said, "You are too young to reach the ground with a pole, so you will watch the battle from the sidelines first and learn the routine." ”
