Apricot grove

Qing Yue asked people to move a chair and sit under the thick apricot tree in the courtyard, holding a "History Book" in her hand and reading it with relish, Ling Shan stood beside her, looking at the future princess in front of her, the sixteen-year-old girl has basically fully developed, her posture is slender, her complexion is beautiful but not gaudy, but it is full of fresh and refined atmosphere, and the peach blossom eyes that are exactly the same as those of the county monarch have a wisdom and cleanliness that are different from the latter, which shows that she is also a woman full of strategy.

"Ling Shan—"

"In!"

"What do you do with Yan'er on weekdays?"

"Miss Hui, don't do anything!"

"Standing like this?"

"Yes!"

"Don't you speak?"

"Occasionally, I will say a few words, depending on the interest of the junjun!"

"Oh? Interested! Yan'er has really grown up, but she is only ten years old, she thinks more than me, and she is extremely thoughtful, so it is no wonder that the prince is impressed. ”

Qing Yue muttered in a low voice, as if talking to herself, and as if she meant something, Ling Shan just lowered her head and didn't say anything.

A gust of breeze blew, making the early spring sun a little cool, through the branches of the apricot tree that was still in depression, looking at the blue sky, she suddenly felt unusually cold, and involuntarily tightened the cloak on her body.

"Although it's spring, the weather in Qingzhou is still relatively cold, so Miss should go back to her room!"

"That's true, it's almost March, and the sun is much brighter, but when you're in the sun, you still feel a little chilly!" She nodded, but didn't get up, just picked up the hot tea on the side, took a sip, and suddenly the warmth spread throughout her body, making her involuntarily show a satisfied smile, and the anxiety of being a woman was relieved for a moment at this moment.

Zhou Mansion

In the flower hall, Jiang Yingyue and Mrs. Zhou were sitting upright, and the three people who walked in reluctantly withdrew their eyes, stood straight in front of the latter, and bowed down.

"This is Mrs. Qingsi, why don't you come and see it!" With her order, the three of them walked closer, and their curious eyes fell on Jiang Yingyue's body, when they saw her appearance clearly, and her calm and polite smile, they were secretly surprised: they have not seen women from merchants, on the contrary, they have seen a lot, but they have never seen a woman who is so full of bookish breath as in front of her, so she doesn't look like the daughter of a merchant, but she has a faint feeling of being born in a scholarly family.

"This is my eldest daughter, Zhou Jingke!"

"I've seen Madame!"

"Good! Hurry up! How old is this year? Looking at this appearance, it is like a mold with his wife, which is really bright and moving. This one is not a valuable thing, but I think it suits you very well! She nodded, looking at the girl in front of her, wearing a snow-white plum blossom skirt, tassels and a horse bun, apricot eyes slightly open, delicate red lips, holding a jade and ice clear, out of the water hibiscus, and then put the white transparent jade bracelet on her wrist on her hand.

"Thank you, ma'am!" She was startled, then looked at her mother, and when she saw that she nodded, she put it away.

"This is my second son Zhou Xifan!"

"I've seen Madame!"

"Good! Get up! I heard my master say that Zhou Gongzi is only ten years old, but he writes well, so he specially prepared a wolf pen for me to bring over, and I hope you can like it. With that, Mama Liu handed over a sandalwood box and put it in his hand.

"Thank you, old lady!" He took it in surprise, thinking that when Qing Changgui came to visit his father a few days ago, he accidentally bumped into himself writing, when he took a deep look at it, and did not mention it, thinking that he felt that his handwriting was too ugly, but he didn't expect to give himself a wolf pen.

"This is my youngest daughter and my youngest child, Zhou Jingyi!"

"I've seen Madame!"

"Good! Get up! This daughter of yours is cute and tight! She watched as she blinked curiously, glancing in the direction where Qingyan was from time to time, and laughing.

"This Nine Rings was my favorite thing when I was a kid, I think you'll like it, take it and play with it!"

"Mrs. Xie!" Zhou Jingyi really widened her eyes, quickly took it, lowered her head and studied it.

"This kid has always liked these things, and you're bothered!"

"It's just a little thing!"

Qinglian and Qingyan looked at the happy and satisfied appearance of their sister and brother, thinking about the hard work that their mother had put in for this trip, and felt that it was worth it, no matter what, it would not be wrong to do what they liked.

"How do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?" Zhou Jingke walked in front of Qingyan, this feeling has been there since she walked in, and now that she has seen the ceremony, she can finally ask.

"We've met, at the gate of Yanyou Academy." Qingyan nodded, she didn't expect that the two sisters who were rejected at the beginning would be the daughters of Zhizhou Zhou Zheda, but even if she knew at the time, she felt that the ending would not change much, otherwise she would not be her.

"Yan You Academy? So you are the Junjun of Zhenyu? Her eyes lit up and she looked at her incredulously.

"Yes! Yan'er has seen Sister Zhou! ”

"Hurry up, you are the monarch of the county, I am just an ordinary woman, how can I deserve your gift? It's just that I didn't expect that we actually had a relationship before this, which shows that we have a fate. Is this your sister? ”

"Yes!"

Qinglian smiled and nodded at it, Qing Nuan smiled innocently, and there were still the residues of chestnut cake on the corner of her mouth. Zhou Xifan stood aside and watched, with a faint curvature on his strict face on weekdays, looking at her curiously, thinking about stealing food, but he didn't know how to wipe it clean.

"Ahh Junjun, it's Junjun! Zhou Jingyi stared straight eyes, pointed at Qingyan and was speechless excitedly.

"Jingyi, what does it look like?" When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she was disgusted. The latter immediately lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, and then the next moment he ran over quickly, standing in front of Qingyan and smirking.

Qing Xuancheng blinked, looking at the three people standing in front of his sisters, very depressed, could no one see him?

"Jingke, Xifan, you take them to the garden for a walk, you have to greet them well, you know?"

"Yes! Mother! ”

After Qinglian and the others saluted Mrs. Zhou and Jiang Yingyue, they left with Zhou Jingke and Zhou Xifan one after another.

"What's your name?" The latter was a few steps behind and stood beside Cheng Ge'er.

"Qing Xuancheng!"

"You're their brother?"

"Yes!"

"And what's her name? How old is it? ”

"She is my third sister, her name is Qing Nuan! Seven years old! ”

"Does she like chestnut cakes very much?" Thinking of her stealing food, he was in a good mood, and then looked at her little back, and smiled again and again with satisfaction.

"Yes! My third sister and I liked the chestnut cake the most. When Qing Xuancheng said this, he was happy and a little lonely and thought: I didn't have time to eat the chestnut cake just now, so I came out, and I knew that I would steal a piece like the third sister.

"Can you read?" He saw it in his eyes, and his mind raced.

"Not yet, but my father said he was going to find me a gentleman."

"In this case, I invite you to eat chestnut cake, you can eat as much as you want, but you have to do me a favor, okay?"

"What's the busy?" His eyes lit up, and he only felt that his saliva was flowing, but he thought that the other party had been inquiring about the third sister, so he forcibly suppressed the ** he wanted to eat.

"Don't worry, this is very simple, just wait for you to start reading, learn to write with me, so that I also have a companion, how about it?"

"Is that all?" He blinked, why did he think something was wrong!

"That's it? You don't want to? ”

"No, no! From then on, I'll call you Brother Fan! ”

"Good! That's it! ”

"Brother Cheng, what are you doing?" At this moment, Qing Nuan suddenly found that his younger brother, who had been following him, suddenly fell behind a lot, and immediately looked back, and happened to see Zhou Xifan talking to him with a smile.

"I didn't do anything, I'm talking to Brother Fan, third sister, Brother Fan is good, you want to learn to write with me!"

Qing Nuan glanced at Zhou Xifan puzzled, pulled Qing Xuancheng and chased after Qinglian quickly.

Although Qingyan has been pestered by Zhou Jingyi, Zhou Xifan's small movements have been seen by her, and she suddenly feels helpless and funny, but she is only ten years old, how can she understand so much?

"Junjun, let's go over there, there's a small Merlin over there, although the weather is already warm, but it's still open!"

"You don't need to call me Junjun, just call me Yan'er!"

"Yan'er? How old are you? ”

"Ten years old!"

"If you're older than me, let's call you Sister Yan!"

"Good!"

The two walked towards Merlin with a smile, and before they got closer, they heard the sound of Zhou Jingke, Qinglian and Qingnuan talking, and when they walked in, Fang found that Zhou Xifan and Qing Xuancheng were missing, and when they asked, Fang Zhi was called by Lord Zhou.

The backyard of the drunken fairy building

Qing Changfu stood in front of the purple-robed man, looking into the other's eyes, which were the only places the latter was exposed to the air.

"Have you figured it out?" A hoarse and eerie voice came from the purple robe, causing him to subconsciously take a step back.

"I've thought about it, but I still have one condition!"

"Say!"

"I want Qingyan's life!"

"Yes! Benjun agreed to this matter! ”

"Thank you!"

"When are you going to do that thing?"

"Back to the master, Qing Changrong has two sons and two daughters, among which Qingyue, who was elected as the crown princess, is preparing to marry at home, and there is the best secret guard in Qingfu by his side; And Qingyun and Qingxuanlang stay at home all day, so only Qingxuanjun is our best choice. ”

"Go on!"

"We can catch Qing Xuanjun first and force Qing Yue out of the house."

"In that case, this matter will be handled by you, and then Benjun will exchange his green head with you for the future crown princess." The purple-robed man spoke, and disappeared without a trace in a few jumps.

Who the hell is he? Qing Changfu asked secretly, this man appeared a month ago, and he also asked himself to cooperate, and his so-called cooperation was just swallowing his eldest brother's family, originally he was unwilling, no matter what, he was his biological brother, or his eldest brother who had been spoiling him since he was a child, which made him refuse without thinking about it, but now he has no way out.

"Qingwei, go to Yutangchun and invite the second young master, just say that there is a new product in the Weeping Flower Pavilion, I'll take him to have a look!"

"Master, isn't the Weeping Flower Pavilion a little early for the second young master?"

"Please!"

He said to himself, as if he hadn't heard Qingwei's doubtful words, and stood quietly in the courtyard looking at the clouds in the sky.
