() The words were clear in his ears, and there were some orders, Zhang Qian was slightly stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly went out of the store.

"Go and call two carriages."

"Okay, let's go."

After that, Zhang Qian turned his head and walked towards the entrance of the alley, and the three sets of clothes he had wrapped did not put down.

"This kid is getting more and more clever."

Zhao Lingmei smiled, and then pulled Qin Yunshu again, "Shu girl, so many of us went directly, and we didn't say hello in advance, right?" ”

The ingredients had to be prepared and made in advance, and a group of them went directly, and the stove was too late to catch up.

"Why not? Rest assured. ”

Qin Yunshu patted the back of the third aunt's hand as she spoke, the previous meals in the Hou Mansion were all made by her brother-in-law Hua Ni.

In the end, it's spring, there are many kinds of meals, and the preparation of ingredients is also busy. Besides, she handed over some of the expenses in the spring to Hua Ni to take care of, which saved her a lot of worries, but Hua Ni was busy.

So, on the stove, she hired a few cooks.

As for the ingredients, the steward went to buy them every day, such as cabbage, and bought a lot of them, and it would not be bad to stock them up.

Not long after, two carriages came with Zhang Qian.

Qin Yunshu helped the third aunt up, and then pulled Qin Yanran, Zhang Qian and Da Shanbo together.

"Go to East Lane."

The nearest alley to the Hou Mansion is surrounded by houses, and there are many Qijing traders and outsiders.

"Alright, ma'am, sit down!"

The coachman immediately raised his whip, seeing that this battle was the wife of a rich and noble family, who could live in the East Lane, close to the Hou Mansion, and had silver!

In the past, Dongxiang was a general area in Qijing. Since the Dingbei Hou Mansion has settled here, this place has been invaluable.

Many wealthy traders and wealthy people followed the resettlement of the house and moved their families here.

In folk terms, the Hou Mansion is a treasure land, and they can celebrate it.

Besides, the Hou Mansion often comes and goes with nobles, and if they pay a little attention, they may be able to make friends!

If it weren't forcible control by the household department, the land price over there would have flown to the sky.

The main road of Qijing is some distance from the Hou Mansion, and it is close to a stick of incense before reaching the East Lane.

Qin Yunshu helped the third aunt get out of the carriage, and waited for Zhang Qian and Da Shanbo to come down, and a group of five people passed through the alley.

Zhao Lingmei came to the previous happy event, but she only knew that the Hou Mansion was huge, and every place was very magnificent.

It would be nightfall, and she took a cursory look, and this time, she could see more clearly.

The two majestic stone lions in front of the door made her awe-inspired, six gilded bronze doors, and guards stood on both sides.

Even if Zhao Lingmei has a small vision, she can see the difference, it is a military uniform!

raised, she was tense.

"Third aunt, you just treat this as your own home."

Gentle and whispered in her ears, Zhao Lingmei responded, but how dare she!

If it was her own house, she wouldn't put so many guards in front of the door, she was a woman, and she was afraid.

But she also knew that her niece and son-in-law were not ordinary people, and she didn't understand what position Dingbeihou was in, but she understood the word general.

That's a big man who stands up to the sky, with military orders in hand, commanding thousands of troops, not everyone can do it.

Qin Yunshu took the third aunt's hand and led her in, and when she arrived at the gate, she immediately stopped her when she saw that the soldiers were about to salute.

"Master Hou is not in the mansion?"

"When you go out for half a burnt incense, Master Hou will go to the barracks."

Spring is a day for family reunions, but it does not represent soldiers. Those people have paid far more than ordinary people imagine, and only family members can suffer so much.

If it weren't for the arrival of the envoys of the Zhou State, I'm afraid Xiao Jin wouldn't have spoken falsely, and he would still have to come and go to the barracks every day.

"My niece and son-in-law are really busy, Shu girl, I'm sorry for you."

Zhao Lingmei held Qin Yunshu's hand as she spoke, but was taken away by her daughter.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

For the New Year, what do you say is bitter or not. The barracks are far from here, and there are thousands of horses and winds, and it won't be long before you go back and forth, unless there are too many affairs, you won't come back.

Zhao Lingmei saw her daughter's solemn face, and saw her husband's warning eyes, she was stunned for a while, and immediately changed her words.

"I said, this gate of the Hou Mansion is really big!"

Seeing this, Qin Yunshu smiled softly, "There is no need to be like this, he is already very busy, and what the third aunt said is good." ”

When the words fell, she led everyone into the house, but this last sentence, the soldiers guarding the door heard it, and all of them looked pale and sneered.

It's terrible, is Mrs. Hou complaining that Master Hou is too busy and has no time to accompany her?

They all say that they are miserable! Which newlywed wife said this about her husband, it seems that the Hou Ye is indeed wrong.

"Third aunt, there are evergreen trees on both sides, green all year round, and in autumn and winter, the leaves will fall, but the new leaves are growing at the same time."

So it's always lush, the old goes, and the new comes immediately.

"It was a garden, and there were no flowers, but it was greenery, and the garden on the east side was full of flowers. If you want to see plum blossoms, there is a piece in the main courtyard. ”

Qin Yunshu introduced with a smile, and immediately looked at the mountain, "I remember, you and the second uncle discussed a lot of field farming. I also have it here, a large piece of land, just in the back mountain. ”

It's just that since Xiao Lingtian's carpenter business has grown, he has been busy every day when he goes out early and returns late, and there is no one to take care of it in the back mountain.

Sometimes, Sun Huani has time to farm, but ten acres of land, a woman's family, does not have so much effort.

Qin Yunshu simply invited a few peasants to help in the Hou Mansion and became a family member specializing in managing the back mountain.

There was even a simple shed built next to the vegetable patch, and when the weather was good, a few families lived there.

Hearing the word Tian Geng, Qin Dashan's eyes suddenly lit up, he was not interested in flowers and plants, and he didn't understand cultivating flowers and plants.

But when he grows vegetables and rice, he understands and has done things for half his life.

"A lot of vegetables in the house are picked from the back mountains."

Of course, after sealing the Hou Ye, in addition to the title and the house, there are also other farms.

Qin Mansion also has it, Qin Yunshu can't control it alone, so he leases out the Hou Mansion Grange and sends a steward to collect the rent at the end of each year.

There are people at the door next to it, and they have to urge it every year, but no one dares to rely on Beihou Mansion.

"Shu'er."

At this moment, an old woman's voice sounded, and after a while, Old Madam Xiao walked out of the side road alone with a cane.

Qin Yunshu immediately greeted him, and Old Madam Xiao stopped for a moment when she saw so many people standing on the road.

"But your third uncle's family?"

On the wedding day, she had seen it, and she was in a hurry, not very sure.

"I told you before, they are celebrating the festival in Qijing."

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu took Old Madam Xiao's hand and led her forward.

"Shu girl, don't introduce me, I've seen it before, I know it."

Zhao Lingmei was born to be familiar, and when she said a word, she stepped forward directly to hold Mrs. Xiao, "Yanran, Zhang Qian, bow quickly." ”

When the juniors see the elders, according to the Jiangnan customs, they must make a big salute to show respect.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the young man standing in front of her, her eyebrows and eyes slowly opened, "I know that Shu'er has a younger sister, who is very talented, in Yuelu Academy, I didn't expect that she had already made a marriage." ”

Hearing the word "marriage", Zhang Qian was naturally happy in his heart, even if the two only recognized each other, they had not yet reached the step of family affairs.

"Two children, each with their own ambitions, I don't force it, they make their own decisions."

Zhao Lingmei smiled, then looked at Old Madam Xiao and said, "Go to your courtyard to sit?" Let them, juniors, stay around? ”

"It's okay, Shu'er, Huani is in the back mountain, you call her over."

After that, Old Madam Xiao turned around and left with Zhao Lingmei.

Qin Yunshu could see that the third aunt was protecting Zhang Qian with every word.

Even if he is not married, the third aunt has treated him as a son-in-law, and so is Uncle Dashan.

No one has done this, it can be seen that Zhang Qian has gathered the hearts of the two elders very well.
