Qing Dai raised her eyelids, glanced at Yan, who had been waiting for a long time to watch the play, and replied slowly, "The second sister-in-law has lifted me." Qing Dai painted two strokes in her spare time, both of which were worn by her daughter's family in the boudoir, which was full of fat and powder, and was not suitable for giving gifts to the emperor. ”

"Oh, my brother and sister are right." The disdain in Yan's eyes dissipated with a gentle smile, but it didn't seem to be so easy to let go of Qing Dai, "But my younger brother and sister are good at painting skills, and I must know how to appreciate it." Mother didn't say that she wanted you to design the pattern, but just asked what ornament you thought was good to carve? Even if the Shangguan family is not a wealthy family, it is also an official family after all, so there are always younger brothers and sisters who know this, right? ”

This is obviously looking down on Qingdai's family background. And from the beginning to the end, Princess Yang sat on the top and watched quietly, and she didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with Yan's words. Tingjia wanted to help, but was restrained by Princess Duanyang's eyes, she understood that the princess was afraid that she wanted to test Qingdai.

It's just that this indulgent and tentative attitude makes Qingdai very unhappy. Looking at Yan's gaze, it was also a little cold, isn't it just that I can't shoot on the back, I'm just too lazy to shoot, and it's not that I can't shoot, hum!

Qing Dai pondered for a while, and said: "Emperor Shaocheng Datong, in the past ten years, my Dahua national strength has become stronger and stronger, and the four have returned, such an immortal achievement should be praised by the world." ”

Tingjia was puzzled and didn't understand how Qingdai's words of praise for virtue were related to the Halloween gift.

Yan leaned at Qingdai and asked, "Everyone knows about these things, what does it have to do with congratulatory gifts?" ”

Qing Dai ignored the Yan family and continued: "Today is a rare Ming Jun and Renjun, whose Chong Ling practiced the throne, Pingbei Huding South China Sea, and his achievements are no less than those of the emperors of previous dynasties, my daughter-in-law thought. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, and he has never seen any treasured jewelry. Every year, I am afraid that the treasury of the palace throws a lot of ornaments that mean longevity, otherwise my mother will not be worried about giving a unique birthday gift. Now, one of the congratulatory gifts in our house is missing. I thought I might as well send an object that can reflect the emperor's immortal merits, maybe it can better win the emperor's mind. ”

Princess Duanyang's eyes changed slightly. Obviously, I think Qingdai's words are quite reasonable, "What you said makes some sense." Since you can say that, you must have a good idea in your heart? ”

Qing Dai replied slowly: "The daughter-in-law usually likes to read some miscellaneous books, and there are few maps that depict the complete territory of Dahua in detail. In addition, now everyone praises the martial arts of the above culture, and the words of the classics that are written are only visible to those ministers of the DPRK and China. If anyone can compile a "Collection of Sacred Words", which covers the major events from the first year of Wude to the present, I think the emperor will definitely praise it. ”

Princess Duanyang nodded lightly, looking at Qing Dai's eyes also changed a little, but she didn't expect this little girl to have this insight.

After listening to Qing Dai's words, Yan suddenly felt that his piece of jade was a bit cliché, and his face sank slightly.

Qing Dai saw that everyone was silent and thinking about it, so she said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is young and knowledgeable, and she is not familiar with the rules of etiquette in the palace, so I just said it casually." As for what is appropriate, it is up to the mother to decide. ”

I've figured out the idea, so I should be able to make a difference, right? As for whether you want to adopt it or not, whether you can do it or not, that's your business. Anyway, these two things are not birthday gifts that can be done in a while.

Princess Duanyang was silent for a long time, "Well, I still have to discuss the birthday gift with your father." ”

Princess Duanyang didn't mention the jade again, Yan knew that she was moved after listening to Qing Dai's words, and secretly glared at Qing Dai, but saw her and Tingjia look at each other and smile, Wang Tingjia is also brainless, it is not her who is in the limelight, what is she happy about!

Yan sneered lightly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "No wonder Uncle let the daughter of the Hou Mansion not choose the younger siblings, the younger siblings' knowledge is really unusual, much stronger than us." It's just that these two things are really time-consuming and labor-intensive to prepare......"

"Well, that's true, I'll talk to your dad about it. Go back today. ”

"Yes!"

Princess Duanyang spoke, and the three of them got up to leave.

I didn't want the three of them to go out, but Princess Duanyang suddenly said, "Qingdai, you wait." ”

Qing Dai didn't know why, turned around and asked, "What's the matter with Mother?" ”

Princess Duanyang said: "You and Shulan are newly married, and you will enter the palace together on Halloween this year." The palace is not as good as the outside, I will send you a grandmother to guide you in the palace etiquette rules in the past two days. ”

"My daughter-in-law must study hard." Qing Daifu saluted, bowed his head for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, just gave two small ones, and then gave an old one, it's really troublesome.

"Alright, it's okay, let's all go down!"

Princess Duanyang waved her sleeves, and the three of them went out.

As soon as he passed through the corner gate and arrived at the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion, the Yan family excused himself to go out under the pretext that he had something to do, so he quit Qingdai and Tingjia and walked the other way by himself.

Tingjia watched Yan leave and couldn't help laughing, "This time you showed your face in front of your mother, she was going to vomit to death." ”

Qing Dai sighed helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to sit and be silent, and when I finished mixing, I flashed, who knew that she would bite me and not let go." This is the first time to drive ducks to the shelves. ”

"You're cheap." Ting Jia sneered slightly, "We'll count you with the most ideas at that time." Let me tell you the truth, my mother was against this family business at the beginning, not that my uncle was obstinately going her own way without her, first cutting and then playing, I am afraid that she will already go to find your trouble...... It's good that you are in the limelight today, and it is extraordinary to let your mother see your uncle's vision. ”

"Come on, if you keep boasting, I'm going to float to the sky."

Qing Dai glanced at the clouds in the sky, lowered her head and pouted, "It doesn't matter what is extraordinary." Since I am married to Hua Shaoyan, I want to live in peace, and I don't have the heart to do those things that are in the limelight and compete for favor. If I hadn't been forced by my second sister-in-law today, I would rather sit and not speak. It is normal for the princess's mother-in-law to look down on my family background, after all, you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the second sister-in-law is also the daughter of Shangshu. ”

"If the princess and mother-in-law are reasonable people, I think it will be okay to work slowly; If she is unkind. I had no choice but to avoid her edge, not to provoke her unhappy, and to do my duty. Sometimes people are like that. No matter how well you do, people don't like you, it's just not pleasing to the eye. Look at the second sister-in-law. She doesn't look down on me and doesn't deal with me. But it's not quite compatible with the princess's mother-in-law. ”

"The second brother and sister are related to her mother's family, and I only found out after I entered the Hou Mansion, so she treats me much worse than the second brother and sister." Tingjia thought about herself, although she was the daughter-in-law begged by the princess, but after entering the door, she was not displeased, even if she worked weekdays, but her mother-in-law was not indifferent to herself. It's not at all like it was for Yan.

Qing Dai saw that Tingjia's face was different, thinking that her words must have touched her heart, so she hurriedly changed her tone and said with relief: "You, you are thinking blindly." Even if the second sister-in-law is related to her mother, if she doesn't cater to her mother's thoughts, where will she be favored. Then my mother chose you to be the wife of the world, in addition to considering your family background and appearance, character is the key. You are steady and dignified, unlike the second sister-in-law who can say flattering words. Said. Aren't you starting to get involved in the affairs of the government now? Mother, she is stricter with your second sister-in-law than you on weekdays, and that is also because you are the wife of the prince, the future Mrs. Hou, and you will manage the entire Zhongyi Marquis Mansion in the future. even has to take care of the affairs of the Hua family, unlike the second sister-in-law, just take care of your own small family, you don't have to support such a big family. ”

Tingjia thought about it, and his heart was not as entangled as he was just now, he took Qingdai's hand and said with a smile, "You just know how to persuade people, there are a bunch of big truths, and you are afraid that you will not be able to please your mother with such a mouth?" Mother will surely find your goodness and gradually like you. ”

"Hmm!" Qing Dai yawned, "Go back, I'll get up early in the morning, I'm going back to sleep." ”

Tingjia looked at Qing Dai and pursed her lips and smiled, "Look at you who are tired, Uncle really won't feel sorry for people." ”

Looking at Tingjia's ambiguous smile, Qing Dai's face was hot, and she glanced at her, "Hey, don't tease me if you have nothing to do, is it possible that the eldest brother is not good to you?" ”

These words made Tingjia blush, "You are a dead girl, and you are so slippery when you get married." ”

"Okay, okay, I know that my eldest brother will hurt people, so I will not say it." Qing Dai smiled and pointed to the path next to her, "I'm leaving this way, sister-in-law, hurry up and get busy with your business!" I'm waiting for you to give me some more money next month." ”

Without waiting for Tingjia to speak, Qingdai ran away with the maid.

Tingjia looked at Qing Dai's hurried figure, smiled helplessly, and waved his hand to the maid, "Let's go, go to the account room." ”

……

As soon as Qingdai returned to Qinglan Courtyard, she fell into the bed and slept. When I got up at lunchtime, the ledger had already arrived.

After eating, Qing Dai walked around the courtyard, and when she returned to the house, she turned over the account books, and secretly said, the account room of the Marquis of Zhongyi is really good, and the piles are clearly organized, and I can't find anything wrong.

At the beginning of the night when the sun was setting, Qing Dai closed the account book, lay on the rocking chair and swayed, and couldn't help pouting: "No wonder you can't look down on my little belongings, it turns out that this guy has a lot of money, does he count himself as choosing an official second-generation diamond king?" ”

"What does a man mutter?"

A voice beside him suddenly sounded, startling Qing Dai, and when she turned her head, she saw Hua Shaoyan's magnified handsome face coming over, and she saw that her mouth was about to be attached to her lips.

Qing Dai greeted a certain man who wanted to kiss Fang Ze with a paw, "It's not the pile of account books you left behind, I've been reading it for a long time." Why didn't you come in and make a sound? People are scary and scared to death. ”

Hua Shaoyan grabbed the paw that greeted his face, put it in his hand and rubbed it, and dragged Qingdai into his arms with all his might, and lay on the recliner with her, "If you die, I'll just go with you." ”

At this moment, although there was a ruffian-like smile on the corner of his lips, a trace of determination flashed in his dark eyes.

Qing Dai was slightly stunned, she knew that Hua Shaoyan liked herself, but she never thought that he would say such words that followed him so naturally, although the environment and atmosphere of the speech were a little lacking, but the combination of a few simple words was still very beautiful.

A strange feeling surged in her heart, and Qing Dai was distracted for a while, and naturally gave up the senseless resistance of twisting her body.

Hua Shaoyan smiled triumphantly behind her back, happily hugging the warm nephrite body into his arms.

There is no romantic and beautiful starry sky and moonlit night, and there is no passionate lingering kiss, the two sit on the rocking chair like this, and let the chair shake slowly by itself......

"You've been drinking?" Qing Dai, who was leaning on Hua Shaoyan's arms, smelled a faint smell of wine.

Hua Shaoyan said softly: "Well, the first day I went to the Ministry of Industry, I went to the office early and drank two drinks with my colleagues, I'm afraid that you will leave first when you are in a hurry." ”

I'll be back at this hour, so I shouldn't have eaten much.

Qing Dai jumped down from Hua Shaoyan, "Hurry up and wash it, I'll let people prepare food." ”

Hua Shaoyan looked at the person who fled from his embrace with a depressed expression, "For you to come back in a hurry, you won't let me hold it for a while." ”

Qing Dai angrily rolled her eyes and played a scoundrel, "You don't want me to serve you to bathe, you just lie down." ”

Hua Shaoyan's eyes lit up, he sat up from the recliner with a swish, and took Qingdai's hand, "This is what you said!" ”

"Come and prepare water, the ninth young master wants to bathe." Qing Dai shook off someone's dishonest paw and went outside to call someone.

After a while, the citron came in, "Young master, the water is ready." ”

"Well, I know, there's nothing to do with you here, let's all go down!"

"This ......" Citron froze in place, and wanted to say something to serve him, but he watched Hua Shaoyan take Qingdai's hand and walk towards the clean room, and his face could not hide his disappointment.

Apricot Blossom came out of it, glanced at the citron, pulled her and walked out the door, "The citron is gone, don't get in the way here." ”

The maid who was waiting in the house disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the clean room, Hua Shaoyan sat in the bathtub, his head tilted back, and ten green fingers were inserted between his black hair, pressing slowly down and down, this time the position was very exquisite, and it was just right.

Hua Shaoyan hummed comfortably, "Baozi, when did you learn this craft, why don't I know?" ”

"There's so much more you don't know."

"Why don't you wash it later?"

Someone enjoying the bathtub stretched out his paw and touched Qing Dai's hand, Qing Dai gritted her teeth and snorted: "Don't get an inch, sit down obediently and don't move-"

"Oh!" Hua Shaoyan sighed in disappointment, and the next moment there was a pain in his head, "Hiss-"

The hair was loosened, Hua Shaoyan rubbed the top of his head, and looked back at Qing Dai with resentment, "Bun lightly." ”

Qing Dai pouted, "Ahhhh ”

Hua Shaoyan knew that Qing Dai was deliberate, and smiled at her with bared teeth, "It's okay, continue to ......."

"Almost, two more times of water would be fine."

Qing Dai took the scoop and helped Hua Shaoyan flush twice, then picked up his black hair and soaked it in the basin and rubbed it slowly, looking at Hua Shaoyan's handsome side face, the smile on his lips seemed so gentle, it was difficult to associate him with the cold and indifferent young general in his usual days.

Qing Dai's heart moved slightly, and while softening the movements of her subordinates, she said unintentionally: "Don't say the word death at every turn in the future, this flower world hasn't been enjoyed for many years, I don't want to die young, and you don't have to worry about going to the underworld to harm people." ”

The corners of Hua Shaoyan's lips, who lowered his head, raised slightly, and he responded gently: "Okay!" ”()
