The night is deep, far away from Qijing, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is extremely cold at night, the cold wind is howling, and everyone in the house has fallen asleep.

Following

Qin Yunshu got up early in the morning, dressed, washed, and tied his hair, all by himself.

After leaving the house, she went to the stove room to fetch hot water, took the handkerchief handed by the maid and walked to the door of Mrs. Jiang.

"Mrs. Hou, the old lady got up."

The girl who was guarding outside the house replied, Qin Yunshu pushed the door open, and when she entered, Old Madam Jiang was already dressed by the maid.

"I'll do it."

Falling softly, Qin Yunshu stepped forward and straightened her grandmother's collar.

"It's windier today than yesterday, so I'm going out in a jacket."

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu took out a long coat from the side and carefully dressed it for Old Madam Jiang.

"I'm in good shape, I'm not cold."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang saw that her grandson's goddess was wrong, and immediately changed her words, "However, I like this jacket and wear it well." ”

Originally, I didn't have much contact with my granddaughter, but this time Mrs. Lan's birthday shortened the distance between the two.

Shu'er is very good at taking care of people, especially respecting the elderly, and those ladies who came alone envied her for having such a good granddaughter.

If she had woken up earlier, this ancestral love would not have come so late.

"Here, wash up."

Qin Yunshu said softly, then soaked the veil and wiped it for Old Madam Jiang three times.

The maid handed over mutton fat paste, and when the winter wind was strong, she boiled it into a paste with mutton fat, mixed with floral fragrance and applied it to her face, three times a day, and the skin would not dry out.

Girls don't need it, most of them are old.

Qin Yunshu dipped his index finger a little, slowly applied it to his grandmother's face, and spread it evenly.

"Sister Qin."

The gentle woman's laughter came, Du Siyan was dressed neatly, and was standing in front of the door of the house waiting, not far away, Xie Man'er waited.

Old Madam Jiang took a look, "Shu'er, let's hurry up, the queen is waiting." ”

Qin Yunshu still applied it unhurriedly, and then closed the box, "Okay, let's go." ”

She said as she helped her grandmother, and the two walked out together.

"Sister Qin, breakfast in the front hall is ready, I'll go back to Beijing today, what about you?"

Qin Yunshu didn't answer immediately, and saluted Xie Man'er, "Niangniang." ”

"No need to be polite, get up."

For some reason, Xie Man'er always felt that even if she was the queen, according to the etiquette, Qin Yunshu should salute.

However, when facing Qin Yunshu, she felt very different, after all, this girl, she used to regard as an aunt.

"Siyan, after breakfast, I'm leaving. What's the matter, you pulled me and asked, do you want to go to the Hou Mansion to sit? ”

Du Siyan hadn't thought about it before, but now that she said it, she did.

"Okay, I'm afraid you're too busy, and I can't disturb you often."

"I said before, you come, I welcome you at any time, why bother?"

At this moment, Xie Man'er, who was standing on the side, saw that the two were chatting familiarly, and there was no politeness, such as sisterhood.

She was very envious, and she wanted to have such a friend.

She still remembers that on the night of the first queen's rebellion, they were all arrested and put into the Jiaofang Palace.

There is even a lady who was executed by Ling Chi, and people are panicking, Qin Yunshu has been protecting Du Siyan, maybe it should be said, protect everyone.

"Mother, let's go?"

A soft call pulled her thoughts back, and she turned her head to look at the beautiful and handsome woman in front of her, "Can I go with Siyan?" ”

Others didn't understand, but Qin Yunshu understood that Xie Man'er wanted to go to the Hou Mansion.

"Naturally, let's be together then. It's just that before evening, I'm going to send someone to take you back to the palace. ”

can't be delayed, the current Xie Man'er is not alone.

The corners of Xie Man'er's lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of all kinds of brilliance, even the palace maids who followed her could see that Niangniang was really happy.

Although he is the master of the harem, the huge palace is boring, no one tells him, everyone is only respectful, and all people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.

After a while, a group of several people walked towards the front yard, Xie Man'er was the first, followed by Du Siyan, and Qin Yunshu helped Mrs. Jiang to walk at the end.

Breakfast had already been prepared, everyone had taken their seats, and Xie Lan had already sat at the top.

"It's coming."

After whispering, Xie Lan got up, took a few steps forward as he did yesterday, and helped Xie Man'er sit down first.

After all these people were seated, the maid came out of the back kitchen with breakfast.

After a while, all kinds of breakfast were spread over the red table, not only Qijing flavor, but also Jiangnan dim sum, and special breakfast of the northern and southern tribes.

"Everyone, if you want to stay and continue to enjoy the scenery of Fuchu, or go around the area, you can do it."

Xie Lan smiled and picked up the tea cup as she spoke, which contained brown sugar ginger tea, which she drank every day in winter.

"Mrs. Lan, we understand your kindness. I won't bother you, the carriages are waiting outside, and we will go back today. ”

One of the noble ladies took the lead in expressing their position, and the rest also echoed it, so it was inconvenient to stay longer.

"Okay, then I won't stay."

Xie Lan was still smiling, and then put down the cup and said no more.

Qin Yunshu kept giving Mrs. Jiang snacks and brought her brown sugar water, "Grandma, it's cold, warm up." ”

From leaving Beijing to the present, Xie Lan has seen her every move.

"Old Madam Jiang, you are so blessed that your granddaughter is so filial to you."

"Her father taught her well and respected her elders."

Old Madam Jiang replied slowly, and then picked up a cup and drank brown sugar water.

At this time, Du Siyan grabbed a small bun and handed it over, "Sister Qin, you taste it, there are a lot of fillings in it." ”

On the surface, it is a very ordinary white bun.

Qin Yunshu took a bite, the skin was thin and soft, and the filling was indeed rich.

Jujube puree, walnuts, vegetable puree, peanuts, and small slices of meat.

"This is the way to eat in the north, we are north of Daqi, we like pasta, unlike the people in the south, rice-based."

Xie Lan said while beckoning everyone to eat more, this bun was prepared in the kitchen last night.

Qin Yunshu didn't have a big appetite, others were still eating, she was already full, but she couldn't leave in advance, so she could only wait slowly drinking brown sugar water.

After about a stick of incense, everyone got up in turn and left the house one after another.

In front of the house, the steward carried several red boxes, which were full of embroidered bags, and everyone had them.

"Man'er, be careful."

Xie Lan welcomed Xie Man'er out of the house and personally helped her into the car.

This parting, the next time we meet, I don't know when, maybe I will never see each other again. Because she will soon be out of here.

"Aunt Tai, when my child is born, you must come."

Xie Man'er stretched out her hand from the car window and held Xie Lan tightly.

"Okay, I'll definitely go."

Xie Lan understood that when that day came, she would not be able to go.

Soon, the palace car went away, followed by the Houfu carriage, and finally the county king's mansion.

The three cars are all heading to the direction of the capital, and all go to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

When the accompanying forbidden army learned that the queen was going to the Hou Mansion, they immediately rushed into the palace to return to the emperor.

When Xie Man'er entered the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the Yuming Forbidden Army had also returned, and the emperor had ordered the queen to return to the palace before sunset.

Qin Yunshu sent Mrs. Jiang back to the house, and when she arrived at the house, according to the hour, Xiao Jin said that it was time to go down.

However, he was not there at this time, and she didn't send a soldier to ask, except for the court, he had to go to the barracks.

However, as soon as she thought so, she listened to the horse's hooves.
