It's only June now, and there are still more than four months left before Fu Yunqi and Qu Xiaoyue's wedding, and the time is a bit rushed, but Fu Yunqi is also twenty years old after all.

With one more royal son-in-law, the General's Mansion is becoming more and more crowded.

In addition to communicating with colleagues, General Qu spent more time on handling his daughter's dowry.

There is no wife in the General's Mansion, General Qu has a deep love for his deceased wife, and he has never thought of accepting a stepfamily for so many years, so Qu Xiaoyue's marriage is asked by General Qu and an old man.

Qu Xiaoyue couldn't sleep at night, so she took a walk with a lamp alone, afraid that General Qu was still busy at this time, so she went to General Qu's study.

Sure enough, the study was brightly lit, and there were still people inside.

Qu Xiaoyue knocked on the door: "Daddy, it's so late, haven't you stopped yet?" ”

General Qu hurriedly came over to open the door, "Daddy will be fine soon." Why did Yue'er come out alone so late and didn't bring anyone. ”

The study room usually has important documents and secrets, but General Qu led Qu Xiaoyue in this way and showed her the things that had been sorted out in the past few days.

"Yue'er, you have all of these."

Qu Xiaoyue bowed his head, these are the title deeds of Zhuangzi, a shop under the name of the General's Mansion, as well as the dry shares of several silk and jewelry shops such as Jingzhong Treasure Pavilion and Ruyi Building, and a thick stack of silver tickets in a small box.

Qu Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, "Daddy, is this the entire general's mansion as a companion?" ”

She looked up at General Qu who had gray hair in her hair, and she didn't know whether she was more moved or more sad for a while, "These are all given to me, what should my father do?" Doesn't the General's Mansion have to pay for it? ”

General Qu looked at Qu Xiaoyue with affection on his face, but it was a pity that he was such a big man who didn't hold his daughter in his arms like a woman, at this time he missed his daughter more and more when she was a child, and after so many years, she was going to get married.

General Qu said with a smile: "If the entire general's mansion is only a little bit of money, hasn't my father worked in vain all these years?" ”

"What Daddy left you, you just have to take. There are also some jade porcelain, screens, and other things to play with and watch, and when Daddy makes a list, the things in the treasury are all counted one by one, and then I will show you. ”

Saying that, he couldn't help sighing, although General Qu had also read books, but he couldn't compare with those literati, especially these things that should have been handled by the housewife, which was even more of a headache for him.

Qu Xiaoyue said: "Daddy still has official business, how can he be busy with all these trivial things in the house?" If Daddy doesn't worry, I'll take care of it myself. ”

General Qu frowned, "It's not that I'm not worried......

In fact, since Qu Xiaoyue took over the entire General's Mansion and kept the house in order, and the people no longer appeared to cheat and cheat, General Qu naturally believed in Qu Xiaoyue's ability.

It's just that I've never heard of a girl who handles all the matters before she gets married.

General Qu was also reluctant to leave these few months to make his daughter still work hard.

Qu Xiaoyue was not at ease, "Daddy, don't worry, there will be no gossip outside, and I will take care of myself." ”

"Okay." General Qu sighed, "In this life, I owe my son a lot, I only wish Yue'er a smooth second half of her life, and my father has nothing else to ask for." ”

Qu Xiaoyue blinked, her eyes wet. Run forced back, "Daddy treats me like a treasure, so why should I say that I owe it?" The daughter only wants her father to be healthy and grow old safely. ”

General Qu smiled: "Daddy promised you." ”

Qu Xiaoyue smiled slightly, lowered her head and said, "Daddy rested earlier, and my daughter went back." ”

General Qu said worriedly: "It's so dark outside, do you want your father to send you back?" ”

I couldn't help but chatter: "Tell me about you, it's a big night, you can't sleep and want to go out for a walk, and you don't bring a few people, if you bump into something, no one will know ......"

"What else will happen in your own family?" Qu Xiaoyue smiled, "Daddy doesn't have to send me, I'll go back, you can rest early." ”

"Okay." In response to this, General Qu still walked out with him, and watched Qu Xiaoyue walk out of the courtyard, before turning around and asking his henchmen to clean up the study and rest in his own room.

A few days later, Qu Xiaoyue set up a small banquet and invited the girls who had a good time on weekdays to come to the house as guests.

It stands to reason that she should be preparing to marry at this time, and whether she has a mother or not is really not too public.

But General Qu holds the power of the army and is very trusted by the emperor, Qu Xiaoyue is the princess of Qi appointed by the emperor, and the queen mother once praised her for being "gentle and supple, IKEA and room", in this case, even if someone is jealous in their hearts, they will not blatantly say something that should not be said.

Besides, the people invited by Qu Xiaoyue are either the three young ladies of the Huo family, or the princess of Huainan, the county lord of Huaiyang and others, who are from top noble girls, and they are married to the right families, regardless of how Qu Xiaoyue integrated into this circle, and whether the county lord of Huaiyang came to participate in this small banquet because of the king of Qi or the queen of the queen, but in the end, everyone knows that this princess of Qi, who has not yet passed the door, is not a character to be messed with.

Bai Ying returned to Beijing for two or three days, and after making up for all the missing news, he received Qu Yuyue's post and went to the general's mansion with the pearl powder ground into powder.

She went early and was the first to arrive.

The small banquet is set in the pavilion in the center of the lake, Qu Xiaoyue makes people put a lot of ice cubes, and the surrounding water is surrounded by lotus leaves, and the wind blows, it is a burst of coolness.

Qu Xiaoyue wore an apricot-red skirt today, and when she heard that when Bai Ying arrived, she was still struggling with whether to wipe rouge in the house.

She looked at herself in the glasses, her cheeks were dyed a thin red at some point, she couldn't help laughing, let the maid straighten her skirt, and went out to greet the guest.

"Ah Ying."

"Joy."

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, it was still early, Qu Xiaoyue pulled Bai Ying into the West Wing, and the refreshments and melons were prepared early.

"Ah Ying has been out for more than half a month, have you encountered any interesting things?" Qu Xiaoyue poured Bai Ying a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her, "You are not in Beijing, I want to find someone to talk to, and I have nowhere to find it." ”

Bai Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "You are the hot Princess Qi now, and you want to find someone to talk to?" As long as you say a word, this person can line up from Suzaku Street to the gate of the General's Mansion more than that. ”

This is true, although there are many noble daughters of the family who are jealous of Qu Xiaoyue, there will only be more people who want to befriend her than this.

King Qi is the first choice of the wishful husband in the hearts of most noble women, and some even have been in love with King Qi for many years, in order to seek a side concubine position to stay up to the age of eighteen or nineteen, and stubbornly boil herself into an "old girl", but unfortunately, no one expected that Princess Qi was born out of thin air, and it was taken away by a military general who was not very famous.

The illusions of countless noble girls were shattered, and some people inquired about Qu Yingyue's appearance, personality and talent, and found out that it was not enough, and even more regretted that she had not done it at the beginning.

You shouldn't be reserved!!

Compared to their family background, they are not much worse, right?

If you go to ask the emperor and the queen mother for marriage early, even if it is a side concubine, it is better than the current boudoir!

What happened to the side concubine?

Maybe if you work hard, you can become a concubine or one of the four concubines!

- Yes, in the hearts of most people, Fu Yunqi has been determined to be the ironclad heir to the throne and has not run away.

"When I met Ah Ying, he made fun of me, didn't Ah Ying miss me after so many days outside?"

"I don't have time to think about it. But ......" Bai Ying smiled and took out bottles and cans, "There are good gifts!" ”

Qu Xiaoyue smiled: "What is this?" ”

When I opened it, I found that it contained white powder. Qu Xiaoyue was puzzled, "These ......"

Bai Ying took out another recipe, "Mix the two evenly, apply it to the face or rub it on the body, and if you stick to it for a long time, you can turn white." ”

She didn't work for nothing for more than half a month, right?

It was the first time Qu Xiaoyue had heard of how pearl grinding powder could be used, she took the small bottle in her hand and looked at it, and smelled the smell: "It's a little fragrant with rose dew." ”

Bai Ying touched his nose, "This was originally a bottle of rose dew." ”

Qu Xiaoyue smiled, "Ah Ying is also too frugal." ”

Bai Ying said helplessly: "At that time, I didn't expect to bring more bottles and cans, and I thought that I could bring them back and grind them into powder, which was not enough, so I could only reuse these." ”

Is frugality a traditional virtue?

"What are you whispering here?" Qingyue's voice came in, and then the curtain opened, and Yao Yiyi, who had a big belly, walked in with the support of the maid.

Bai Ying stood up for the first time and went over to help with the handle, "You be careful, slow down, come and sit here." ”

Yao Yiyi smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can it make you so nervous?" ”

smiled at Qu Xiaoyue again, and asked the maid to present the prepared gift: "If you are invited, it is not good to come empty-handed." ”

"But Xiaoyan, where is the need to be so polite?" Qu Xiaoyue stood up and poured Yao Yiyi a glass of warm water.

Yao Yiyi sighed, "What's on this table?" Why does it look familiar? ”

Bai Ying rolled her eyes, "You have to let me say it again, don't you?" ”

In these bottles and jars, several of them were filled with pill ointment, and Yao Yiyi had naturally seen it.

She snorted and said, "What, you're still not happy to talk about it?" Are you also afraid of panic? ”

Bai Ying waved his fist, "If it weren't for the sake of the child, I would have told you to shut up." ”

Yao Yiyi shouted, "It's not big, it's not small", and in front of Qu Xiaoyue, she didn't say any more, and asked: "Here, do you have my share?" ”

Bai Ying said: "Yes, yes, I don't want to save trouble, just bring all of you here." ”

I couldn't help laughing again: "I forgot that no one can forget you, isn't it an ancestor?" ”

"I'm you......" sister-in-law!

Halfway through the words, Yao Yiyi hurriedly swallowed it.

She glanced at Qu Xiaoyue, who was pursing her lips and smiling on the side, touched her stomach, and changed the topic: "Cousin, why haven't they been there yet?" ”

"It's early for us." Bai Ying looked at the blue and black in Yao Yiyi's eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you sleep well at night?" ”

Yao Yiyi couldn't hold it when she opened the chatterbox, and complained: "The child keeps kicking me, my back hurts every day, I feel tired when I walk, where can I sleep well?" ”

Qu Xiaoyue interjected: "I still have some soothing incense left here, and I will take it to the princess later." ”

Yao Yiyi didn't think about it and said, "You can keep it for yourself, what I want, just ask her directly." ”

glanced at Bai Ying, and said, "You won't be so stingy that you won't give me these, right?" ”

Bai Ying: "Give it, give it, I owe you in my last life!" ”

are all pregnant, why is the county lord of Huaiyang not as capable as Yao Yiyi?!

Qu Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes fell on Yao Yiyi's abdomen, her pursed lips slowly flattened, she took a sip of tea, and asked Yao Yiyi to change into a more comfortable chair.

Maybe Yao Yiyi and Bai Ying didn't realize that they got along with each other, whether it was their behavior or laughter and scolding, it was extremely natural.
