Guanghua Temple to Yanjing City is almost two hours away, because the snow road is difficult to walk, the two hours of travel is almost three hours.

When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost the end of the Shen Dynasty.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the vendors on the street had also closed their doors, and each house had already posted couplets and hung red lanterns in front of the doors.

When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, four or five carriages were parked in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I thought that the people from Qin Xian's family had come to the Xiangfu for a reunion dinner.

Qin Wan returned to Bihe Courtyard, changed his clothes, and went to Yashanju with Su Xiang.

When he was close to the door of Yashanju, he heard the laughter and laughter coming from inside, since Qin Xian's family was here, Xu Junlan should also be there.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the door was wide open, and a girl from Yashanju greeted her and said, "The second lady is back, come with the slave." ”

Qin Wan nodded, and was led to the main hall by the girl.

The two sides of the main hall were full of people in order, except for a few young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rest were all female dependents in Qin Xianyuan.

Seeing Qin Wan come in, the crowd all looked at her curiously.

Qin Wan walked over and curtsied to Old Lady Qin: "Grandmother." ”

This is the first time that Mrs. Qin has seen Qin Wan, and she is relieved to see that she is dignified and generous, and she does not have half of the air of a beggar in the market.

Old Mrs. Qin said: "I'm back, I've been chanting in the Buddhist hall for a few days, and I've suffered you." ”

Externally, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion said that Qin Bang took the initiative to go to Guanghua Temple to chant and accept the baptism of the Buddha. Old Lady Qin's words could be regarded as a relief to Qin Wan, and when the words fell, she stretched out her hand to Qin Wan and said to the women below: "Bang'er has just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago, and you haven't seen her yet, so she is also very angry. ”

The woman sitting on the right hand of Old Lady Qin smiled and said, "Bang'er, I am your eldest aunt." ”

Qin Wan curtsied and shouted, "Hello, auntie." ”

Sitting next to the He family in turn were the concubines in Qin Xian's courtyard, and Qin Wan also saw the salute in turn.

Sitting at the other end were all the ladies of the Qin family.

Originally, because of Qin Wan's previous status as a beggar, the people in Qin Xian's courtyard were waiting to see her jokes, but they didn't think that Qin Wan was like a young lady who had been raised in everyone's boudoir since childhood, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

After getting acquainted with them one by one, the two concubines sitting at the end whispered, "Didn't you say that they were beggars?" How does it not look like it? ”

Although the voice was not loud, He Shi could hear it clearly, and couldn't help glaring at them.

While talking and laughing, it was already dark, the meal in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been prepared, and the Rong family came to call people with the concubines of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a group of female dependents hugged the old lady Qin and went to the front hall.

Qin Wan followed the crowd, looked and looked, and found that Xu Junlan was not there.

Fortunately, she was still worried that she was too close to Xu Junlan before, and her every move would attract Xu Junlan's suspicion.

Tables and chairs had already been set up in the main hall, the ladies made a table, the elders sat at a table, and the concubines sat at a table.

After sitting down, Rong said with a smile: "Yue'er is really tired because of her body, so I asked her to go back to the room to rest first." ”

Qin Zhaoyue's health has always been bad, and she only used half of the reunion dinner every year before returning to the room, so she didn't feel surprised.

Old Madam Qin's eyes swept around, and there was one person missing, and just as she was about to ask, a loud voice sounded outside the door: "Grandmother." ”

There was a man wearing a dark cloak and stepping on the wind and snow, the man's face was full of joy, and behind him was a young girl, wearing a cloak of lilac embroidered cuckoo.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Wang's heart sank.

The person who came was Qin Ming, the eldest son of the lineage, but the girl who followed behind him was not his wife Xu Junlan, but the top girl in the Ziyun Pavilion in Yanjing City, Zhong Ci.

Zhong Ci is in Ziyun Pavilion, with a beautiful dance skills and sensation in Yanjing City, she has always been a performer not a sell-out, three months ago I suddenly heard that Zhong Ci has become a famous flower, and everyone in Yanjing City is speculating who this person is.

I never thought that it was Qin Ming.

The moment he saw Zhong Ci, He's face turned green, Huo Ran stood up, and said angrily: "Ming'er, where is Junlan?" ”

Qin Ming ignored He's words, took Zhong Ci's hand and walked straight to Old Lady Qin, threw himself into Old Lady Qin's arms and said, "Grandmother, I haven't seen you for a long time, my grandson misses you so much." ”

Seeing him like this, He was so angry that his whole body trembled, and the two concubines at the other table covered their mouths with embroidered handkerchiefs to hide the smiles at the corners of their mouths.

Her own grandson is like this, and Mrs. Qin's heart is naturally like eating honey, but when she saw Zhong Ci, she couldn't hide her displeasure in her heart, "I always knew that you were used to messing around, but today is a family banquet." ”

It is really unseemly to bring a dusty woman to the family banquet.

Although Rong's face didn't have too many expressions, he was secretly proud in his heart, how about He giving birth to a son? It's not the whole weather, she's so angry!

Qin Ming said coquettishly: "Grandmother, since she has already followed her grandson, she is a family, not to mention that she can conceive your great-grandson in her womb." ”

Old Lady Qin looked at Zhong Ci, Zhong Ci was stunned, and hurriedly said timidly: "The doctor said that she has been pregnant for two months. ”

Qin Ming said with a smile: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, double happiness is coming, grandmother is happy or not." ”

Old Lady Qin's frozen face eased at this time, and said, "Since that's the case, don't stand, sit down." ”

Zhong Cifu bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Qin Xian shook his head and sighed, although he really didn't like Qin Ming's move, and he didn't like to see Zhong Ci on such an occasion, but she was her grandson in her belly, even if she was angry in her heart, she went with it.

He was angry in his heart, because he had protected Xu Junlan and had not allowed Qin Ming to take a concubine, and he led Zhong Ci to come today, just to find her anger!

A subordinate stepped forward and led Zhong Ci to sit down in the position of the concubine, but Qin Ming grabbed Zhong Ci's hand and said, "No need, she will sit with me." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Zhong Ci to the position originally reserved for Xu Junlan and sat down.

The crowd looked at each other.

"Presumptuous!"

Mo said that the He family couldn't sit still, and Qin Xian couldn't sit still, he slapped the table with his hand and said angrily: "That's the seat of the main room, you let her sit, where is Junlan here?" ”

Qin Ming said: "She's not coming." ”

"Not coming?" He Shi was taken aback, "Are you bullying her?" ”

Qin Ming said: "She has her mother to protect her, where do I dare to bully her, it is herself, when she met Liu Zichu, she had to argue with others for a few words, since her good sister died, she cried and mourned every day, I was annoyed to see it, my mother said, can I let her cry and come to see my grandmother with a sad face?" ”

Qin Wan listened, and his heart sank.

Zichu is Liu Feng's character.

Unexpectedly, everyone in Yanjing City believed the four major crimes imposed on her by Liu Feng, but Xu Junlan didn't believe it, and she could argue with Liu Feng for her.

When Qin Ming said this, the He family had to sigh, and only shook his head and said that Xu Junlan was not angry, no matter how sad he was, he couldn't miss today's family banquet.

Almost the entire Qin family was accustomed to Qin Ming, and he had just said that Zhong Ci was pregnant, although he was angry on his face, he was also subconsciously agreeing with his actions.

At this moment, Xu Junlan walked over, wearing a light blue cardigan, embroidered with an orchid pattern, the snow that fell on her shoulders did not bounce, and her fair face was red swept by the wind and snow.

"There is something delayed on the road, and it is late, so I hope the elders are not strange."

After Xu Junlan stood still, she briefly explained the reason for being late, curtsied one by one, and finally her eyes fell on Zhong Ci's body.
