Sai Wenchang leaned into Qiu Shenglin's ear and whispered, "I heard that Brother Qiu actually accepted a girl from the house as a concubine, and the younger brother is really distressed, so he made his own decisions and sent a character beauty to Brother Qiu!" Hongchen, take off your veil and let Brother Qiu see your true face! ”

"Yes!" Sai Hongchen stretched out his slender jade fingers and gently took off the veil covering his face, revealing bright eyes and bright teeth, a beautiful woman with all kinds of style! Qiu Shenglin's head "buzzed", he was young and frivolous, and the feeling when he first fell in love came back, and he even felt that the beauty was in front of him, and he was a few years younger!

"Your name is Hongchen?" Qiu Shenglin felt that everything was automatically retreating, and only Sai Hongchen was left in his eyes. Sai Hongchen was shy, glanced at him with a seductive look, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Master Qiu asked knowingly, deliberately making fun of me!" Qiu Shenglin hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I heard the girl's name, and I thought of a poem, and I was worried about trivial things going with the wind, and I smiled at Hongchen to the moon!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Sai Wenchang stroked his palms and laughed, "It's rare that Brother Qiu and Hongchen hit it off at first sight, they are both concubines, and they don't need to make a big deal, this is Hongchen's eight-character Geng post, and the outside is the dowry I gave to Hongchen, Brother Qiu, please come and take a look!" ”

Thirty-six dowries were neatly placed in the courtyard, and some valuable gold, silver and jade were placed in the most conspicuous places, attracting people to run to tell each other, and they all came to see the excitement! When the lady married in, it was only forty-eight lifts, and the gold, silver and jewelry were also tightly collected, and there were only a few things to see.

Those who are active have begun to secretly calculate, this aunt has a beautiful family, and she has brought such a rich dowry, and the lord will definitely look at her differently in the future. And that lady, although she is a wife, has already lost the favor of her master, and she must be very careful in her actions in the future, and she must not offend this aunt's wife!

Qiu Shenglin said, "Brother Xian, my bride price has not yet arrived, but your dowry has already been brought in the door, foolish brother is really ashamed!" Sai Wenchang said, "Brother Qiu said this, I won't tell you, although my cousin is beautiful, she is not young. ”

"Brother, why do you say that, I don't follow it!" Sai Hongchen's coquettish appearance made Qiu Shenglin fascinated. Sai Wenchang laughed, "It's all a family, there's nothing to be ashamed of!" Brother Qiu, Hongchen is careful and arrogant, and ordinary men can't get into her eyes. came and went, and it was dragged into an unmarried old girl. She's twenty-one years old this year! ”

Qiu Shenglin was taken aback, Sai Hongchen lowered his head and said, "Could it be that Master Qiu dislikes me?" Then I, I'll ......" She deliberately turned around to leave, Qiu Shenglin didn't care about the difference between men and women, took her hand, and said uglyly, "I, I'm past the age of confusion, I'm afraid of wronging you!" ”

The "concubine affection" of the two people fell in the eyes of Sai Wenchang, and it became a cornucopia of money. A green willow is useless, he also has this cousin who "fell from the sky", from now on, not only will Qiu Shenglin's every move be controlled by himself, but also make his backyard catch fire, and he will not be at peace!

The aunts married in one after another, which was really unprecedented. Yao's remained silent, but the two girls couldn't help it. Even Chao Yu said, "Madam, you have to persuade the master if you are looking for an opportunity, marrying in one or two is not good for the reputation of the master!" Lingyu hummed and put the new tea and snacks on the table, "Men don't have a good thing, see one and love another!" I heard that the old man stayed in the vixen's room all night, and he could hear the laughter coming from inside when he passed the high wall of the west courtyard, which was really shameless! ”

Yao put down the "Book of Songs" in his hand and said, "Who the master wants to marry and who he wants to spoil is his business, and it has nothing to do with other people." Lingyu, what a little vixen, don't talk nonsense in the future! How to say that she is also half a master, you have to respect! ”

"If only the eldest young master were here!" Chaoyu suddenly muttered such a sentence, and Yao was moved. She sighed and said, "Yunqi hasn't been back for more than half a year, and I don't know if that kid has taken good care of himself when he is outside alone." Seeing that the weather is going to be cold, it will rain, you will accompany me to pick out some clothes in a while, I want to make a jacket for Yunqi and ask Steward Zhang to send it to him. ”

At this time, Yuan Bao suddenly ran in from outside with a smile on his face, and said to Yao, "Madame, guess who is back?" Yao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You monkey cub, who else can make you so happy, it must be Yunqi back!" Yuan Bao suddenly drooped his head, "Madame guesses every time, it's really boring!" After speaking, he suddenly laughed again, "But when the young master comes back this time, the whole person is different!" ”

Before the words fell, footsteps sounded outside the door, "Mother, I'm back!" The curtain of the door was lifted, and a fresh, handsome and extraordinary man walked in with his head bowed. Yao Shi was sad and happy for a while, took a few steps forward, took his hand, and said with cold eyes, "Yunqi, you are finally back!" ”

"Mother, why have you lost so much weight, how is my brother, take it out and let me see!" When Qiu Yunqi left home last time, her mother was only four months pregnant, and counting the days, her younger brother should have been born. Yao turned his head and wept secretly. Chao Yu also wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "The young master doesn't know anything, as soon as the young master is born, he will be gone!" ”

Only then did Qiu Yunqi understand why a white paper lantern was hung outside the east courtyard, and a white velvet flower was pinned to his mother's sideburns. He said, "Daddy, why don't you see him?" Lingyu's mouth is fast, "The third aunt and wife newly married by the master are being favored, and the master is over there every day, where can he take care of the lady!" ”

"It's too much, I'll go find my daddy!" Qiu Yunqi was not only distressed by the early death of his younger brother, but also angry at his father's cold-bloodedness. Yao said, "Forget it, let's not go to ruin his fun." But Yunqi, you came back suddenly, did something go wrong in the county's business? Qiu Yunqi said, "My mother is too careful, I recently received a big business, and I was worried that I would be careless and lose the face of the Qiu family, so I came back to ask my father for advice." ”

He asked Sixi, the little servant who was waiting with him, to bring in a black lacquer box, "I'm a little unsure about this thing, since my father doesn't have time, then ask my mother to take a look at it first!" He took out the key he had kept close to him, opened the three locks on the box, and asked for the contents to be removed.

It was a three-colored glazed figurine, and the image of a woman wearing a high crown appeared in front of everyone. The head of the figurines is arched, quite similar to the trumpet hat often worn by monks, there is a scarf under the crown, hanging down to the shoulders, the color is full and jumping, quite exotic!
