After Ding Can went, not long after, the third lady Huang came, followed by Qu Qian and Duan Wenxin.

The two of them came in hand in hand, chirping and cooing, not knowing what they were saying, laughing and looking very intimate.

Huang Shi and Qu Yi greeted each other warmly, greeting each other on the New Year's Day, Qu Qian stood behind Huang Shi, a pair of eyes looking around the room, as if looking for something.

His gaze finally stopped on Ding Rui.

Ding Rui was standing under the window, admiring a few plum blossoms on the table with green gooseneck flowers.

Qu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, she reached out and tugged at Duan Wenxin's sleeve beside her, and pouted in the direction where Ding Rui was standing, and Duan Wenxin followed Qu Qian's gaze.

He is a young man of the same age as Qu Rong, with a long body, a straight posture, sharp cheeks like a knife and an axe, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Duan Wenxin was slightly stunned.

Even if she likes Qu Rong and has always felt that Qu Rong is handsome, she has to admit that the appearance and bearing of the young man in front of her are still three points better than Qu Rong.

The heroic aura of this young man alone is beyond Qu Rong's reach.

It is like two completely different trees, one with its head held high to the sky, full of vigor, and the other rooted in the ground, swaying in the wind.

“... Sister Duan, he is my Rui cousin... What do you think of him? Qu Qian blushed slightly, and whispered to Duan Wenxin very quietly.

Duan Wenxin nodded, "Sure enough, he is a child of a family, and his bearing is extraordinary." ”

Qu Qian smiled smugly, "It's the fourth brother, I don't think I can match him." ”

Although Duan Wenxin recognized Qu Qian's words, she admired Qu Rong in her heart after all, how could she allow others to criticize her, so she smiled and said: "You only have this Rui cousin in your heart, so naturally no one thinks it can be compared." ”

Qu Qian's face became redder, "I was cheeky and told you what was on my mind, and you used it to make fun of me." ”

Before the words fell, he was pulled in front of Qu Yi by the Huang family.

"How come I forgot the rules when I saw my aunt during the Chinese New Year,--- didn't know how to pay New Year's greetings?"

Qu Qian realized that she was rude, and hurriedly saluted and greeted Qu Yi for the New Year.

"Aunt An, may my aunt be in good health and everything will go well."

Qu Yi responded with a smile and also sent a New Year's bag.

The most important thing in the third room is silver, Qu Qian will not take such a small amount of money to heart, so she has no need to push back, took it in her hand and thanked her, and handed it to the maid Bi Aya on the side.

Qu Yi saw that there was a girl standing in front of her, and she was also beautiful and beautiful, so she asked Huang: "This little girl is ---?"

"It's the niece of the second sister-in-law, and her name is Wen Xin." Huang laughed.

Since the elders asked about him, Duan Wenxin wanted to greet him.

also received a New Year's bag from Qu Yi.

I held it in my hand and checked it, but my hand was a little heavy, and I thought that the silver contained in it was either eight taels or ten taels.

Suddenly I remembered my father.

The pen-writing officials of the Cangzhou Mansion are only two taels of silver a month... The mother still has to save everywhere to maintain the daily food and clothing of the family, and even so, she can't save a few taels of silver all year round.

However, the wife of the public mansion of the family sent a New Year's money at will, which was almost worth a year's Fenglu of his father.

It is no wonder that everyone in the world yearns for wealth and power, and the feeling of superiority is about to be extremely pleasant.

Duan Wenxin suddenly felt that what she was holding in her hand was not a New Year's bag, but a piece of hot coal, which was burning her self-esteem.

"Look, look, Cousin Rui is here." Qu Qian whispered to her in her ear.

Ding Rui came to salute the Huang family.

"Rui'er has seen the third aunt, the third aunt Ann."

Huang looked at Ding Rui with a smile and said to Qu Yi: "It's really not me who is an aunt and boasting about my nephew, looking around the city of Kyoto, I'm afraid that there is no child who can compare to our Rui'er." ”

Ding Rui smiled silently and stepped aside.

Qu Yi also glanced at his son, holding the Yushu Linfeng, full of indescribable comfort and joy in his eyes, but he was still humble in his mouth: "The third brother and sister don't laugh, today's children are all good." ”

Huang smiled and was about to answer, but it was the old lady Qu who was sitting on the throne who smiled first: "It's not that the third daughter-in-law is laughing, Rui'er, this child is indeed getting more and more promising--- I heard you mention it a few years ago, and you want to talk about his relatives, do you have a desirable girl in your heart?" ”

When others heard this, it was okay, but Qu Qian blushed.

My heart was pounding, as if I had beaten a drum.

Lu Jiayue, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines and watching from the wall, looked at Qu Qian's expression in her eyes, and remembered all kinds of things in her previous life, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The thoughts of the youngest daughter's family really can't be hidden, and they are all hanging in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

But it didn't work.

In her previous life, Qu Qian admired Ding Rui, which was well known to everyone in Qufu. However, how can Qu Qian marry the princess? What's more, Ding Rui has no intention of being male or female towards Qu Qian, just treating her as an ordinary cousin, even if after Ding Rui got married, Qu Qian surrendered her identity and was willing to commit to being a concubine, Ding Rui was still indifferent.

Qu Qian is also stubborn, she can't marry Ding Rui, but she doesn't marry someone else, when the Qu family collapsed in her previous life, she was already seventeen years old, and she was still waiting for the boudoir.

is also a poor woman who is infatuated and infatuated.

If she had known the ending early on, I wonder if she would have been so willing to put her affection into Ding Rui?

Lu Jiayue sighed silently, not noticing Qu Yi's gaze looking at her, and then smiled at Old Madam Qu: "I have an idea, I said that I listened to my mother, and asked my mother to help me check whether it was feasible." ”

Old Madam Qu smiled, and before she could speak, Ding Rui had already bowed to her and the Huang family and said goodbye, and wanted to go to the study in the front yard to find Qu Song.

As soon as Ding Rui went, Mrs. Qu began to chase Lu Jiayue and the girls.

"Let's all go to the west side of the maki and play, and let us talk freely."

Ding Yu squeezed her eyes at her mother, "Even though I said it, I don't want to hear it." ”

As he spoke, he took Lu Jiayue's hand and walked out.

Qu Qian seemed to have lead under her feet, and she couldn't move, but Duan Wenxin took her out half-pulling and half-pushing.

*

I don't know what Qu Yi wants to say to Mrs. Qu and the Huang family, a few girls are sitting in the room, and they also have their own thoughts, and they are not very interesting.

Because of Duan Wenxin's side, Lu Jiayue felt a little uncomfortable, stood up and said that she was going back to her Chuntang residence.

Ding Yu grabbed her and said with a smile: "I heard that the plum blossoms in the Dark Fragrance Garden are blooming just right, so my sister led me to take a look." ”

Born in the Suiguo Mansion of a family of military generals, Ding Yu's temperament is also a little hearty and straightforward like a man. Lu Jiayue liked her heartlessness, so she agreed with a smile.

The two went to the dark fragrance garden to enjoy the plum blossoms together, and after getting along for a long time, they were very compatible.

When it was time for dinner, Yi Yi had dinner with Mrs. Qu in the upper room, and when it was dark, Ding Yu was going back to Suiguo's mansion.

Lu Jiayue gave her a sachet embroidered by herself as a gesture of friendship. Ding Yu took it in his hand and looked at it, and praised Lu Jiayue's exquisite embroidery, accepted it happily, and went back with Qu Yi.

Lu Jiayue went back to Meng's main room, walked to the porch, and saw the little maid carrying a hot water kettle that had just been boiled to be sent to the hall.

"Is my uncle back?" Lu Jiayue asked the little girl.

The little maid nodded, "Yes, the eldest man just came back, and Sister Chunxia called to send hot water in." ”

Chunxia took the kettle in the hall, Lu Jiayue followed behind her, walked to the door of the inner room, and through the curtain, she could hear Qu Hong's voice inside, which was a very comfortable tone.

“... Today, I was a guest in Yang's Mansion, and I heard some rumors related to King Wei during the banquet. ”
