At this time, in the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, knowing that the war was going well, and the Qi army would not return to the dynasty in a few days, Qin Yunshu was naturally happy in his heart.

When she went out of the hall door, she hurriedly went to her mother's courtyard, but at that time she saw the steward coming out of the courtyard, and his expression was solemn, as if he had something important.

The moment I saw her, I was even more shocked.

The steward has always been steady, when did it become like this?

Qin Yunshu was puzzled, and was about to ask when he saw him bowing and saluting.

"Mrs. Hou, it's summer, and the slave came to ask the old lady if she wants to buy silk to make some new clothes. Compared with Qijing's sky and Yuhua Village, it is different in the end. ”

Qin Yunshu didn't ask any more, waved his hand and said, "Buy more and come back, and prepare some for the second room." ”

"Yes."

The steward bowed his head and said, and after saluting again, he hurriedly left, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked the old lady about silk yesterday, and when he went to the street today, he heard a great event.

The battle between Great Qi and Yan finally ended in a decisive victory for the Qi army, but in the last battle of the Yan army, Great Qi also paid a heavy price.

The number of soldiers killed and wounded was close to the number of three battalions, although it was far less than that of Yan State, but the three battalions added up to nearly four or five thousand.

Among them, nearly half of the Biao cavalry battalion was damaged.

What is even more unacceptable is that the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, their Dingbei Marquis, is missing.

In that battle, the Marquis of Dingbei charged, and when he went, he was there, but he didn't see anyone when he returned.

When the battlefield was cleared, no bodies were found.

But everybody said......

The steward's face was gloomy, and the lady didn't know it for the time being, but the streets and alleys were almost spread, and the news reached Qijing yesterday.

It just so happened that yesterday, the old lady went out to listen to the play.

He was called by the old lady just now, and the focus was on guarding the lady, don't tell her to go out. At the same time, all news in the Hou Mansion was blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Purchase, he personally does.

"This day, it's going to change."

The steward looked up and looked at the blue sky, becoming more and more sad.

At this time, Qin Yunshu had already entered the old lady's courtyard, and saw that she was in the hall, and somehow, stood with his back to the door, looking straight at the mural on the wall.

A landscape map, the day the Hou Mansion was built, it was hung up, and I look at it every day, how can I stare at it today?

"Mother."

Qin Yunshu called softly, walked quickly to hold her hand, his eyebrows and eyes curled and smiled, but he saw that his mother hurriedly threw her off, raised his hand and wiped it desperately.

"Mother, why did you suddenly ......?"

His eyes were red, and he shed a lot of tears.

"It's okay, my eyes are in the sand, it's uncomfortable."

Old Madam Xiao smiled, then grabbed Qin Yunshu's hand and patted it, "I had a dream yesterday, I didn't rest well, and the dream was too sad." In the future, you will come to my courtyard more often. ”

"After all, it's a dream, it's not real, you don't have to think about it. I have come today for a great event. The Qi army has won and will return soon. ”

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu shook Old Madam Xiao back, "Jinyan is coming back soon, I don't know when, on that day, I will go to the outskirts of Beijing to meet him." ”

Seeing her daughter-in-law's eyes full of joy, for a while, Mrs. Xiao didn't know how to reply, she looked at it in a daze, and only spoke for a long time.

"That's great."

Although happy, but it was superficial, Qin Yunshu saw the clue, "Mother, I'll help you rest." ”

After that, she grabbed Mrs. Xiao and went to bed.

"Shu'er, you just sit here and eat some dried fruits with me."

When she arrived at the inner bed, Mrs. Xiao took out a big bag directly from the cabinet, forced Qin Yunshu to stay, accompanied two sticks of incense, and even had lunch in the courtyard before leaving.

When she came out, she realized that Mrs. Jiang was here.

Since she got married, her grandmother never came to the Hou Mansion, and after Jiang Xiangxue died, her grandmother was sad for a while, and her body was not as good as before, and she went to Jiang Mansion to see it a few times.

"Come in, please."

She immediately instructed the steward, and finally ran out by herself to welcome her grandmother in person.

When Mrs. Jiang heard about the news of Qijing in the morning, she immediately raised her heart, and she was very uneasy, so she immediately took a carriage to the Hou Mansion.

"Shu'er, grandma take a look."

She looked carefully as she spoke, and when she saw Qin Yunshu smiling, her heart slowly relaxed.

"Grandma, why didn't you say anything before you came? I'm ready for help. ”

Old Madam Jiang chuckled, "It's all my own family, I don't need to prepare much, I'll just sit in the house." Have you been in the house for the past few days? ”

"Yes, the weather is getting hotter, and people are lazy and don't want to move. Are you blaming me for not going to Jiang Mansion to see you? ”

Qin Yunshu smiled, and the two quickly walked into the main hall, and the steward brought tea and pastries.

"Don't, I don't have any resentment, don't think about it. It's hot, and you're in the house. ”

Don't go out, the news can be a day late.

"Grandma wants to see me, don't say it's hot, I'm going to go to the fireball."

Qin Yunshu joked, grabbed a piece of pastry and handed it over.

She ate a lot of dried fruit in her mother's yard, and now she is too full to eat.

"Look at what you said, it's still a fireball!"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and chatted with her granddaughter in the main hall for a while, eager to accompany her every day.

The two were still talking and laughing, the princess of the county came, Liu Yatou also followed, and the two entered the house with their front and back feet.

Qin Yunshu immediately wondered, "What's wrong today?" One or two made an appointment, come to the Hou Mansion together? ”

It has never been before, not to mention that grandma came over for the first time, Du Siyan has been busy in the house recently, and she has come over.

This Liu Yi, who makes food for Sun Guang at home every day, why doesn't he cook dinner today?

"That's it, since you're here, you're all going to eat in the house."

Qin Yunshu immediately instructed the steward to go to the chef's house to say something and prepare a table of good dishes.

"Sister Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, come and take a look today, don't blame me for not saying it in advance."

Du Siyan smiled, but his eyes were a little probing, and his heart was also raised.

After chatting for a long time, seeing that Qin Yunshu was very happy, her heart was relieved.

"Madame, the slave has embroidered a veil for you."

Liu Yi said as she took out an embroidered silk handkerchief, which she had specially saved up to buy and embroidered with a lot of effort.

The patterns are redundant and complicated.

"Liu Yi, you have improved a lot in embroidery, I like it."

Qin Yunshu looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a while before putting it in his sleeve.

The four of them talked and laughed in the hall until the evening, and then left after dinner.

Qin Yunshu was also tired, and he turned around and was about to go back to the hospital.

But when he heard the hooves of the horses in front of him, he turned his head to see that it was a palace car.

Soon, the head of Jiaofangdian brought a three-layer food box down.

"The slave came to see Mrs. Hou, a new chef has come to the palace these days, and the imperial meal is particularly delicious, and the mother ordered me to give you one."

As he spoke, the head respectfully handed it over, and glanced at it with a tentative look.

If it was one or two, Qin Yunshu would be strange at best, but now, it wasn't.

Rush trip after trip, more on the same day, why?

Not doubts, but deep thoughts.

"Mrs. Hou."

The boss spoke again, and the food box was handed over.

Qin Yunshu took it casually, "Thank you Niangniang for me, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to thank her." ”

"No, it's nothing. Mrs. Hou, you go back to your home and use it slowly. ”

After saying that, the head immediately bowed down, and after a while, he got into the palace car.

Qin Yunshu stood at the door of the mansion and looked down at the food box, his eyes heavy.

So many people came over on the same day and gave her things to chat with her, how did they deliberately trip her and not let her go out?
