、、、、、、、、、、 By then, there were already several ordinary cars parked in front of Qin Niang's house in Fengle Fang, except for this, there was no difference from the last time she came, it was the same quiet, and it was impossible to see that she was doing something at all. But when Peony walked to the gate, he realized that it was not so easy to enter. If you don't see Qin Niang's post, you are not allowed to enter, and when you go in, you will be led by a special person, and you will go straight to Qin Niang's residence.

Qin Niang lives in a two-story building, and the few female guests are downstairs drinking tea and eating fruits, talking and laughing in a low voice, and when they saw Peony entering, they all stopped, looked at Peony and greeted him with a smile. Peony smiled and saluted, as if she had seen them. After she sat down, she looked at it, and it turned out that all of them were young women about the same age as her, dressed in fashionable and gorgeous clothes, and ordinary and simple, but they all seemed to be very educated, one of them was slightly older, always taking care of others, and seemed to have exercised half of the master's duties, the woman surnamed Zhou, Peony vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen Qin Niang with Qin Niang when she was with He Zhizhong last year.

Because they were not familiar with the peony, these women did not whisper again, but whispered some auspicious words. Peony couldn't help but secretly guess that they should all be similar people to her, on the surface, they all had a good personal relationship with Qin Niang, but in fact, they were all because of special reasons. Then one inquired about her identity, and Peony cautiously replied that her surname was He, and the rest was not mentioned. When those people heard this, they just laughed, and said their last names one after another, and then did not mention anything else.

After a while, Ah Hui came downstairs and apologized to everyone with a smile, saying that the auspicious time had not yet arrived, and she would have to wait for some time. Everyone guessed that they were waiting for King Jing to come, and they all smiled and said it didn't matter. Ah Hui stepped forward to lead Peony upstairs, and Peony glanced at the others cautiously, she didn't want to act different.

When the woman surnamed Zhou saw this, she smiled: "Everyone has seen it, only you are late, you haven't seen it." The implication was that she didn't need to care.

Peony smiled and followed Ah Hui upstairs. Qin Niang's room does not have the smell that is usually produced by the impermeability of the mother, and the air is very clean. Bypassing a plain screen, Qin Niang lay on a large white sandalwood bed, looked at the peony energetically and smiled, and said softly: "Are you here?" I thought you wouldn't come. ”

As if he knew what happened yesterday, Peony smiled: "This is a great event, since I know it, I have to congratulate me no matter what." ”

Qin Niang nodded with a smile: "Just now they showed me the wealth and peace you sent, I like it very much." Come to think of it, His Highness will also like it very much. ”

King Jing has his own heirs, he doesn't need so many ambitious women and children, it is a blessing to spoil you and use you, and it is also his duty to keep to himself. Peony looked at Qin Niang, but saw that Qin Niang's eyebrows and eyes were full of faint smiles, and she looked very satisfied. She couldn't help but think, she is satisfied now, and she doesn't know if she will be resentful in the future?

As he was talking, a woman wearing a royal blue gauze skirt and a garnet red eight-piece Luo skirt, very fat and strong, with some black skin, carried a swaddling cloth woven red and gold brocade in her arms and walked around from behind the curtain, and said with a smile: "Mother, this child has a really good appetite. ”

Qin Niang's eyes smiled into a curved moon: "Sister, don't always get used to him, be careful to hold him and make a sound on the ground, and cry when you put it down, I don't have the spirit to be naughty with him." ”

The woman said: "There are so many people around, I want to hug and talk for a long time, do you need to be naughty with him at any time?" The tone was very unkind.

Peony was taken aback, could it be Aunt Duan? Sure enough, Qin Niang smiled: "This is my eldest sister Duan Auntie, that is, Lu Wu's mother." When she heard that I was pregnant, she couldn't help but leave her business behind to see me. Then he smiled at the fat black woman and said, "Sister, this is Danniang." ”

"I've heard about you for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to catch up with you." Mrs. Duan handed the newborn into the nanny's arms, turned around and sat down with Peony, and then pointed at Qin Niang and said unceremoniously: "The heart of a generation can't finish it." I swore that I would never care about her again, but I broke my promise again. The implication is that I don't agree with Qin Niang's affairs.

"Sister!" Qin Niang's eyes were slightly red, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

Aunt Duan sighed and said, "That's it, you are also a mother, I shouldn't talk about you in front of you." ”

Peony was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Aunt Duan soon stopped talking about these uncomfortable topics, but humorously talked to Peony about some of the things she had seen during the trip, and asked Peony He Zhizhong if they were okay? How is the business at home, etc. Peony also asked her about the situation of peony flowers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Aunt Duan smiled slightly: "Speaking of peony flowers, I am walking with an old friend from Hangzhou, he is a peony lover and plans to build a big garden there." This time I specially went to Beijing to ask for a famous craftsman, if it is convenient for you, let him go to your garden in a few days to see, what do you think? ”

Peony immediately realized the potential opportunity. She once dreamed that one day she would be able to transport the peony flowers she planted to the north and south of the river, but she did not expect this opportunity to come so soon. She immediately laughed and said, "Nothing inconvenient. Just come over after the begging festival. ”

It was almost noon, and Ah Hui said with some anxiety: "The auspicious time is coming." The soup has been boiled, and the kitchen banquet has been prepared...... "But King Jing hasn't come yet."

Qin Niang said lightly: "Maybe there is something important to delay, it doesn't matter, as soon as the auspicious time comes, I will wash my children and throw money to start the banquet." "I can't see the slightest displeasure or disappointment on my face.

Aunt Duan glanced at her disapprovingly, and said a little angrily: "I'll preside over it." ”

Suddenly, I saw a grandmother walking upstairs with a smile, standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Madame, the house has let people reward the wine and food and gold silk, and the people will arrive soon, and His Royal Highness has also asked people to come over to pass the word, and the Tao is to bring a few friends over together, and they will arrive immediately, so that the wine and food in the kitchen will be more exquisite." ”

Qin Niang was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Help me up and go downstairs to pick it up." Saying that she was really going to get out of bed, Ah Hui was distressed and happy to take out her clothes and dress her up. The crowd was busy.

In the house, it won't be anywhere else, it must be Princess Jing. It seems that Qin Niang's existence is not a secret to Princess Jing at all, and letting people enjoy wine and food is the existence of Qin Niang's mother in public, and it also shows her existence as the main mother. And King Jing wants to bring his so-called "friends" over to preside over the washing banquet, as if he attaches great importance to it. Qin Niang was very happy, was she really happy? Perhaps the only person who truly rejoiced was King Jing.

Peony felt so awkward. But this is Qin Niang's life, she is not Duan Da Niang, and she has no power to say four. To be a guest who pleases the host, she cheered up, with a smile on her face, and watched the excitement with everyone.

Princess Jing sent over the gold silk wine and food is very rich, in addition to the special washing money, but also a full set of pure gold jewelry and gold clay cloth for Qin Niang, the person who came to speak and act is also very polite, in front of a few guests, give Qin Niang enough noodles.

Later, King Jing, who was full of joy, was surrounded by several male guests, and in a congratulatory voice, he bathed the newborn with the washing soup made of peach root, Li gen, and Meigan, and wrapped it in the small quilt rewarded by Princess Jing again, hugged it to everyone, said auspicious words, laughed a little, and then sat down separately.

Peony was worried about Jiang Changyang, who was still waiting for her to go to the Chuzhou Houfu together, and when someone said goodbye at the beginning, she immediately got up to say goodbye to Qin Niang. Qin Niang's room was quiet, she herself was sitting in the window to look outside, heard the sound, turned around, her face was habitually full of smiles, and when she saw that it was a peony, her sweet smile turned into a smile: "Are you leaving?" ”

Looking at the change in her expression, it doesn't seem that she is really so happy. Peony nodded and said euphemistically: "Although you are strong, you should still pay attention to it, take care of it, don't worry about things that you can not worry about, your body is your own." ”

Qin Niang was silent for a moment, and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, go back early." His Royal Highness is just the right person to say, he knows all about the incident in the house, let you rest assured. ”

Peony was silent and said, "I came today, not for yesterday's incident, but to congratulate you sincerely." ”

Qin Niang stared at the peony for a while, and suddenly laughed, with a brilliant smile: "Look, I said earlier that I thought you wouldn't come, because I was afraid that you would be afraid; At this time, you said that you would rest assured, but you said that you really came to congratulate me. We have a misunderstanding. ”

Peony said seriously with a calm face: "We didn't misunderstand. Fear is definitely afraid, it is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, who can not be afraid? But congratulations are also sincere. You're busy, I'm taking my leave. ”

"You walk slowly." Qin Niang saluted and said goodbye to the peony, and watched the peony walk out. Ah Hui came out from behind and whispered, "Mother, it seems that Mrs. He is angry?" ”

Qin Niang shook her head: "She is not a stingy person, she just wants to tell me that his family is not a mercenary person, and I look down on her." Or rather, it was King Jing who looked down on the couple.

Peony came out of Qin Niang's house, and the car was not far away, and she saw Shun Monkey standing in front of her, and ran over with a smile as soon as she saw her car: "This way, the general is waiting outside the east gate." ”

It didn't take long for him to raise his face with Jiang Chang, and Peony told him about today's situation. Jiang Changyang listened carefully, and when she said the last thing she said to Qin Niang, he seemed very happy: "You said it very well, if I were here, I would say the same thing." ”

Seeing his affirmation, Peony was also happy: "Aunt Duan said that she would introduce a merchant from Hangzhou to see the peony flowers in Fangyuan, and I promised to let him see it, maybe the meeting will become a business, do you think it's appropriate?" If I feel that it is inappropriate, I will deal with it at my discretion. "In the end, it is someone related to King Jing, and whether it will cause other troubles with Jiang Changyang after doing this business, she is not sure.
