Chapter 698: Not Just Yourself
After a stick of incense, Xie Yunzhi walked out of the south gate of the imperial city, got into the carriage and went straight to Xie's mansion.
The Empress Dowager's request, he did not agree, but he did not refuse either.
…………
Xie Fu
The steward waited outside the door, and when the carriage stopped, he immediately stepped forward, and when he saw the lord get out of the carriage, he made it clear.
"My lord, the Dingbei Hou Mansion will be completed in three months, and the servants have heard that many ministers are preparing gifts, ...... you?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, Xie Yunzhi was very cold, "No." ”
There is no discussion about the simple two words, the steward is stunned, almost all the ministers are preparing gifts, if Xie Fu does not send it, it will inevitably fall into the mouths of others.
But he had to listen to the orders of the adults, so he gave up.
Xie Yunzhi knows that the closer to the date of the completion of the Hou Mansion, the closer the marriage will be.
In Jiangnan, he met Qin Yunshu in private, and now, he shouldn't see him. Once he saw it, he probably couldn't restrain himself from snatching his relatives.
But he can't, he's not alone.
Xie Yunzhi stood in the atrium of the mansion, looking at the huge mansion with calm eyes, the big trees on both sides were lush and green, even in autumn, he was still so vibrant, as if nothing had changed.
"Miss Zhimo, please come here."
The respectful maid's voice suddenly sounded, Xie Yunzhi quickly closed his gaze, and after a while, Chang Zhimo, who was dressed in green clothes, came into view.
A slender figure in the distance gradually approached, overlapping with a girl in his memory.
He remembered that she liked to wear pale blue dresses, which varied in the same color and style.
"Master Xie."
Chang Zhiyan walked up to him and saluted respectfully, at this moment, she was very nervous.
The two hadn't seen each other for too long, and she heard her father say that Master Xie was on leave and would not enter the court.
She didn't know when he would return, and now that Man'er was in charge of the harem, it was almost impossible to meet as usual.
She couldn't find a reason to visit Xie's mansion, and until today, when she entered Changfu, Mrs. Xie invited her to go.
Extremely shocked and incredible, she immediately went to the boudoir to carefully choose, and finally chose a Tsing Yi.
In terms of dressing and behavior, many times, she couldn't help but imitate Qin Yunshu, even if she had a clear understanding of herself and knew that the two could not be compared.
Xie Yunzhi looked at her carefully, and suddenly found that today's body was not only the same color, but also similar to the one Qin Yunshu wore in the past.
The two are about the same size and similar in shape.
Gradually, Xie Yunzhi's expression was a little different, revealing a few traces of reminiscence and confusion.
Seeing this, the maid on the side quietly retreated.
Chang Zhimo kept his head down, I don't know what's wrong, it was quiet, and the hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched, becoming more and more nervous.
For a long time, there was no sound, her lips opened slightly, "Adult......"
"Get up."
The word heavy is full of magnetism.
Chang Zhimo listened to the order, so he dared to slowly raise his head and look at him, those eyes seemed to have magic power, sucking her straight away, and making her afraid.
There was a great struggle in her heart, and finally, she mustered up the courage to "......"
Only one word came out, as if the breeze was blowing, and the long figure passed by, without saying a word, and just left.
Even if he pretends to look like her, it's not her, and he doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, it will only make him think of her.
Xie Yunzhi left, Chang Zhimo stood with his back to him, looking at the spacious avenue in front of him in a daze.
At this moment, her breathing stopped, and she stood in front of her for a moment, leaving only two words for her, and got up.
Dismissive, or perhaps should say, not care.
His heart sank violently, and the disappointment swept in, his eyes gradually faded away, and finally, Chang Zhimo walked towards the gate of Xie Mansion step by step.
All this came into the eyes of the person in charge of the old lady Xie's courtyard, she looked at the adults who had gone away, and then looked at Chang Zhimo.
After a long time, she sighed, even if she was suffering from a stubborn illness, the old lady thought about it and invited her into the house.
In the end, all the calculations fell through.
Qijing, located in the north of Qi State, although it is not as north as Yan State, but the capital in autumn is smeared with another taste.
The leaves are golden everywhere, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.
With one rain after another, after the rainy season, everything is moistened, everywhere is fresh, and at the same time it adds coldness.
March, seemingly long, but short, with a sound of firecrackers, the plaque of Dingbei Houfu was unveiled.
It is located in the east of Qijing, not far from Qinfu, the area is huge, the pavilions and pavilions are decorated, all of them are exquisite.
In front of the mansion, with the shouts of the soldiers, the candy of housewarming joy was sprinkled on the crowd.
The people had already heard about it, and they came before dawn and began to bow their heads and rob, and with the firecrackers, it was very lively.
"The plaque of the Hou Mansion is written by Mrs. Qin himself, and this plaque alone is priceless!"
"Taifu Qin definitely doesn't accept cash, take the dragon and be a quick son-in-law!"
However, Dingbei Hou sent a lot of dowries. The Hou Mansion covers a larger area than the Qin Mansion, and the master was specially invited to build it, so I really want to go in and have a look. ”
The people talked about it one after another, and at the end they joked.
"Come on, you're not Miss Qin, why did Dingbeihou let you in?"
When they spoke, the two big men caused everyone to laugh.
Today, the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been completed, and the doors of all the houses are wide open, and the smell is dispersed by the wind.
Everyone outside the house watched, and the house was busy.
Hachi squatted on the ground, holding a notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, muttering while remembering gifts.
"The Ministry of Rites is still a book, and Jade Ruyi is one. The book of the military department, a treasure jade ......"
The hall was full of gift boxes, piled up into several mountains, and Xiaoba's figure had long been submerged, and only muttering was heard.
"Hachi, okay? There is another batch, the pawn is clear, I asked people to move them all. ”
Sun Guang was urging on the side, already busy sweating profusely.
"What's the hurry? From the first-grade officials to the ninth grade, all of them have been sent, so many that there can be no mistakes. ”
With that, Hachi continued to record.
"Hey, Mrs. Qin gave me a copybook, it looks very ordinary, I want to put it away and present it to Master Hou."
After an hour and a half, Xiao Bacai finished pawning, and Sun Guang immediately ordered someone to move to the miscellaneous house.
Only the calligraphy sent by Qin Taifu was sent to the Marquis of Dingbei.
At night, Xiao Jinyan returned from the barracks.
After dismounting, he stood in front of the gate of the mansion, and did not rush in, but looked up.
This is his home, his home in Qi Jing. Later, there were Shu'er, Mother, Ling Tian and Forsythia.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Jinyan's lips slowly hooked, and a smile broke out.
"Master Hou, you're finally back."
Xiao Hachi has been guarding the door, and when he heard the movement, he immediately ran out, "The Hou Mansion has been built, and it is time for you to rest on the eighth day of the next month." ”
As he spoke, he took out the notebook, "This is a gift from Taifu." ”
Xiao Jinyan immediately took it, and looked at it in the bright moonlight, it was a temporary post, carefully examined, the pen and ink were fresh, and it was Taifu's handwriting.
"Master Hou, Taifu took this opportunity to say that your words are not good, you have to work harder, and you have time to practice."
When the words fell, Xiao Ba's head was smacked, and when he reacted, he saw Xiao Jinyan walking into the house.
He hurriedly followed and continued to pray, "I have counted everything, only Lord Xie did not give gifts." ”
