Qin Zhong returned to the mansion, the sky was already fluttering with snow, and Mason wanted to hold up the green cloth umbrella, but he stopped him, and a snowflake covered his shoulders.

Liu and Jian Yun were making needles under the lamp, and they heard the maid's report: "The second master is back." “

As soon as the words fell, he saw Qin Zhong open the curtain and come in, half of his clothes soaked in dark color, and there were some unmelted snowflakes.

"Xue Sheng outside, why did the master come without an umbrella?"

Liu hurriedly got off the kang to greet him, ordered the maid to get hot water, and took a navy blue flower from the cupboard and waited for him to change it.

Jian Yun stepped forward to salute and pointed to something to leave, but was stopped by Qin Zhong and said in a kind tone: "You stay for a while, I want to talk to you." ”

Then after washing his hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, and then sitting on the big kang near the window, Liu saw that his face was as usual, but somehow he was a little worried in his heart, and when the maid burned the hot charcoal fire subsided, she personally poured the cup of boiling tea and put it in Qin Zhong's hand, and asked with a smile: "Don't you have to go to the Tai Hospital to be on duty today?" ”

Qin Zhong said "um", took a pillow in the needlework basket, spread it out and looked at it, the red and gorgeous brocade, the mandarin duck playing in the water was embroidered for most of it, and he praised Jian Yun on the chair: "This embroidery art is not inferior to the embroidery girl in the old brand." He asked Liu again: "How is Yun'er's dowry prepared?" ”

Jian Yun's face was red, his neck hung shyly and he was silent, and Liu said with a smile: "The Fu family gave a gift of money, a thousand taels of dowry, a total of ten quintals of eight-style seafood, three livestock and big fish, sheep hop tea and fruit cakes, two quintals of gold and silver jewelry, and three taels of silk and satin. The master of the Fu family is just a five-grade official, and he does not lose the façade of the third-grade gift when he gives financial gifts, which shows that he sincerely values my sister Yun. ”

Counting the dowry goods prepared, Qin Zhong listened carefully, and then said: "I went to order a big bed painted with gold paint, add a dowry to Yun'er, and it will be sent in a few days, you remember to check carefully at that time, stepping and setting up shelves, as well as eaves, pulling steps and flower boards, all let the painting and carving of begonias and hundred sons, I am afraid that they will be lazy and treacherous, and deliberately perfunctory to fool the past." ”

Liu said with a smile while agreeing: "How can my woman understand this, and after it is delivered, it will have to be checked by the master." ”

Qin Zhong was noncommittal, looking at Jian Yunsong's slanted bun, inserting a few palace flowers, wearing red and sprinkling flowers, and sitting there dignifiedly, he was a little in a trance, the girl in his brain was still a child, how could he suddenly reach the age of getting married.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt a little regretful, picked up the cup and ate tea, and then said slowly: "Although the Fu family is just a member of the ministry, the eldest son Fu Heng is only a district government to learn and teach, the family background seems to be ordinary, but it is better than the harmony of his parents, and he is kind-hearted. What's more, the back house of the Gaomen Mansion is unstable, the people's hearts are treacherous, and Yun'er is gentle and introverted, and she has little to accept people and handles. Looking at it in this way, it is the wisest choice to marry into the Fu family. “

He paused, and Chao Qianyun continued to mention: "After you marry into the Fu family, you must respect your elders, obey your husband, love your concubines, be open-minded in everything, take into account the overall situation, don't be pampered and arrogant, repay grievances for personal gain, remember to spare people and forgive people, a year and a half, give birth to a boy and half a girl, although you do not have the luck of great wealth and nobility, but it is also a blessing to live a peaceful life." “

Jian Yun's jaw is in mind. Liu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The master listens to every word of his words today, but it is inevitably early, and Ming Kaichun Yun'er will have to get married, and it will not be too late to talk about it by then." “

Qin Zhong turned his head to look at her for a while, reached out and touched her sideburns and retracted them, and sighed: "This day the bullet is over, when did you also dye hoarfrost on your sideburns, in the early years, you mentioned that you wanted to go to the Zen temple to listen to the scriptures and practice, I refused, if you still have this idea now, you will be willing to go." ”

Liu's heart was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes turned red inexplicably: "My lord loves to talk and laugh, how can I ignore this big family." “

It was the jealousy of his youth, and he was unwilling to see how many aunts he accepted, and now that Shaohua has passed away, she has children and daughters, and she has let go of many thoughts in her early years.

So she smiled reluctantly and drove him away: "Aunt Zhao came to ask for peace today, saying that her brother brought a jar of fine flower soju and stewed venison from the noon pot, and it must be crispy at this time, why don't you go and taste it?!" He also said: "Sister Yun and I still have needles to do, but I don't have time to gossip with you." “

Qin Zhong's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but after all, he swallowed it back, got off his kang shoes and walked to the door, paused, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said, "I'm leaving!" “

Lift the curtain and step out of the threshold.

...........................................

Qin Yanzhao sat at the table and watched thoughtfully as Imperial Physician Zhang took Li Fengzhi's pulse.

After half a moment of effort, Imperial Doctor Zhang cleaned his hands and went to sit outside with him, the maid brought boiling tea, the two of them ate tea, Qin Yan Zhaofang asked: "Look at this pulse, I don't know what disease my wife is suffering from, can it be cured?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang said with a smile: "Say hello to Lord Qin first, Mrs. Zun's pulse is a happy pulse, it has been more than two months, just because her body is weak, and she is mentally exhausted, and her mouth is light and she can't eat. “

Qin Yanzhao thanked Xie for taking the prescription, handed it to the boy to grab the medicine, and invited him to eat and drink together.

He stood up slightly, and then he entered the room, and the two or three maids muttered softly with joy on their faces, Li Fengzhi obviously got the news, and looked at him when he heard the sound, his eyes were red.

Qin Yanzhao stepped back, sat down on the edge of the couch, grabbed her hand and rubbed it, frowning slightly: "When did you lose weight and only have two layers of skin left?" ”

Li Fengzhi only felt unbearable when he heard this, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but pursed his lips and sneered: "I can't compare to Wang Mei'er of the Teaching Workshop Division, my hands are like soft wattles, my skin is like clotted fat, I smile smartly, and my eyes are beautiful." ”

Qin Yanzhao let go of her hand and said lightly: "You are the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the wife of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, how can you be compared with the prostitute of the Jiaofang Division, don't lower your identity." Wang Meier and I are just playing on the spot, how much more energetic are you! ”

Before his words fell, a boy replied through the curtain: "The second master sent Mason to summon the master to go to the study to talk." ”

Qin Yanzhao stood up, saw Li Fengzhi leaning sideways towards the bed, was silent, and said in a soothing voice: "Now that you have a body, you can't be rash anymore, I'll go to my father's place, and I'll come to accompany you again at the party." ”

The boy who was waiting in front of the porch hurriedly held up the green cloth umbrella, but he took it with one hand, and asked Mason while walking out: "When will the master return to the house?" Has he been anywhere now? ”

Na Mason said very calmly: "It has been half an hour since the master returned home, and the young one has not been on duty in front of him, and I don't know where he has been." ”
