Su Xiao walked quietly all the way, his eyebrows slightly locked, as if he was pondering something.

Qin Xi knew her mood at this time, it was nothing more than surprised by the abnormality of a concubine in front of everyone, but she was lazy by nature and rarely took the initiative to explain anything.

Besides, she and Su Xiao only met for the first time today, and the two are not very familiar with each other.

"Lu Gongzi suffered a loss today, but I'm afraid he won't give up." Su Xiao came back to her senses from her contemplation and said with some concern, "The fourth girl has to be careful." ”

Qin Xi snorted: "It's okay." ”

Lu Mingyuan has nothing to be careful about, the son of a squire's family, she doesn't even need to move her little finger.

However, his father seems to be ...... Tobe Squire?

Household ......

Qin Xi's eyes flashed slightly, but she suddenly understood what was going on with her marriage contract with this Lu Gongzi.

Compared to princes like Liwang, the Tobe squire is just an insignificant official, but such a seemingly small official has real power in his hands.

These officials who hold real power can make the royal family and nobles bow their heads in disguise at critical times.

Liwang is now in charge of the household finances, and the Empress Dowager Qin wants to marry Qin Jingshu to Liwang, the reason should not only be that Liwang is favored, but more importantly, the Empress Dowager wants the Qin family to control the treasury?

If Qin Jingshu successfully marries the Liwang, Qin Ji has a marriage contract with the son of the household servant, and the Lu family will naturally become the Qin family's henchmen in the future.

Sure enough, it was a good calculation.

But now that this calculation has come to naught, how the Queen Mother and Uncle Qin will be annoyed for the time being, the end of the Lu family will probably not be very good.

"The peach blossoms here are blooming so well." Su Xiao said softly, "It would be nice if I could bring the scenery of the mountain to my home." ”

When Qin Ji heard this, he smiled lightly.

Of course, it is impossible to move the scenery from the mountains to the home, but those with deep financial resources can build a house more generously and move the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter into the house.

Enjoy peach blossoms in spring, lotus in summer, chrysanthemum in autumn and snow in winter.

The two walked for a while, and gradually entered the depths of the peach blossoms, Qin Xi didn't know what suddenly came to mind, and said, "Luzhu, you go outside and take a look, don't make any mistakes." ”

Green Bamboo took the order and left.

She knew what she meant by "mistakes".

Su Xiao turned his head and glanced at the back of Lu Zhu leaving, and his eyebrows were thoughtful.

"There's a gazebo in front, let's go in and sit." Qin Xi suggested, "It's good to watch the scenery quietly for a while." ”

Su Xiao came back to her senses when she heard this: "The four girls don't go over there to have a fun?" Miss Gu seems to have prepared a lot of talent activities. ”

"Today's banquet is all the sons and daughters of powerful families, and I, the concubine, probably can't fit in." Qin Xi's voice was faint, "I don't want to be bored with myself." ”

Su Yi raised the corners of her lips, her young lady didn't bother to participate at all, and she didn't want to listen to those children of powerful families facing Gu Qingyi and Qin Jingshu, each forming a faction and intriguing.

When Su Xiao heard this, he was silent for a moment: "You lost your eldest sister's face today, will there be any trouble after you go back?" ”

Qin Xi shook her head: "Don't worry. ”

As soon as the words fell, a slight footstep suddenly sounded in the peach forest.

Su Yi frowned slightly, and glanced at the forest quietly, while Qin Ji slowly picked up the teapot on the table, took two teacups and poured tea: "The tea prepared by the Gu family should be good, Miss Su should also taste it." ”
