Although Qi Chuan won the champion, but the reason why he was able to sit in the position of the household servant was that the prime minister's house was planning behind, and now Xu Qingling went back to her parents' house directly, at first Qi Chuan thought that she was having a temper tantrum, and she could come back if she went to the door to invite her, but she didn't think that Xu Qingling didn't step into the door of the Qi family for half a month, and the Wenchen under Prime Minister Xu Cheng also participated in Qi Chuan's book, saying that he disregarded humanity and spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.
Today, after the saint has eaten the red pill of tribute, he only feels full of energy, just like his early twenties, he grasps the affairs of the court more tightly, the Xu family is the saint's henchman, and he is naturally very relied on, at this moment Qi Chuan lost the face of Prime Minister Xu, and the saint reprimanded Qi Chuan fiercely and asked him to go back and reflect on it.
When he walked out of the Jinluan Palace, Qi Chuan couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat, and even the clothes on his body were wet with sweat, and he returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion in a trance.
Previously, Xu Juan'er was taken to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to raise a fetus, and as soon as she heard that Qi Chuan was going down, she went to greet her with a smile on her face, but before she could touch the man's arm, she was pushed away.
The woman's eyes were full of grievances, but she also knew that Qi Chuan couldn't be offended, so she said softly: "What's wrong, my lord?" It was good before the last dynasty, did someone provoke you? ”
The man's face was gloomy, and anger was surging in his phoenix eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.
No matter whether Xu Qingling or Xu Juan'er, Qi Chuan doesn't have the slightest affection, but the situation in the court is difficult at the moment, and he is bound to welcome the Xu family back, otherwise his position as the head of the household will not be stable, and everything he has will be gone.
Thinking about the poor days he had lived in Shiqiao Village before, Qi Chuan's handsome face showed a hideous look, and he took a deep breath before his emotions calmed down.
"I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to bring Mrs. back, after you arrive at the mansion, you honestly say hello to Mrs., you can't be a little contemptuous, if you dare to disobey the yang, go back to the small courtyard in the north of the city to stay!"
Xu Juan'er has also stayed in the Zhuangyuan Mansion for a while, but she has never met Xu Qingling, after all, Miss Xu, who was born in Fugui Township, didn't bother to look at her with her eyes at all, she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly, and now she wants Qi Chuan to put down her body and invite her in person, which is really a big face.
Holding her breath in her heart, Xu Juan'er didn't dare to anger Qi Chuan, and said softly: "Please rest assured, Juan'er will be content to stay by your side, and when Mrs. comes back today, if there is still anger in her heart, even if Juan'er kneels in the snow all night, it will make Mrs. angry." ”
Hearing the woman's words, Qi Chuan reached out and stroked Xu Juan'er's face, his gaze softened a little.
"You have the blood of my Qi family in your belly, even if the Xu family is messing around, you have to take care of this, rest assured."
After speaking, Qi Chuan walked straight into the master bedroom, changed out of his court clothes, and rushed to the direction of Xiangfu in the heavy snow.
Xu Qingling sat in front of the dressing table, holding a snail in his hand, and carefully traced his eyebrows to the bronze mirror.
Lan Xiang lifted the curtain, hurriedly walked into the house, and said, "Miss, my uncle is standing at the door and says I want to see you." ”
"Nope." Xu Qingling sneered, Qi Chuan really thought he was something, the reason why he married him in the first place was that he felt that the champion who came out of the village was easier to control, but now his wings are stiff and disobedient, if he doesn't stay cold for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to remember what kind of goods he is.
Lan Xiang knew that the master was uncomfortable, after all, the Qi family was not a thing, in order to give birth to a child, the master did not know how many decoctions he poured day and night, and the whole person was emaciated.
Qi Chuan is indeed a talented man, but he is merry by nature, there is Lin Pan'er in front and Xu Juan'er in the back, and he doesn't take Miss in his eyes at all, and now he has suffered a secret loss in the court, so he wants to take people back, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?
Lan Xiang retreated and said to the guards guarding the door.
The guard was full of embarrassment, walked up to Qi Chuan, and said angrily: "Uncle, the young lady is not well, she really can't see guests, why don't you go back first and come back another day?" ”
"I am the husband of Qingling, how can I be called an outsider? Since your mansion is unwilling to let you go today, then Qi will come back another day. ”
A layer of snowflakes accumulated on Qi Chuan's shoulders, Qingjun's face was faintly blue-white, and the guards guarding the door also felt a little guilty in their hearts, but it was the order of the young lady, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey it.
Since this day, Qi Chuan came to the door every day, his posture was lowered, and he seemed very sincere, at first the guards could still stop him outside the mansion, but then the matter became bigger, and more and more people gathered in front of the prime minister's mansion, pointing at the Xu family, most of them thought that Xu Qingling was bullying and did not put her husband's family in her eyes.
After hearing about this, Xu Cheng was so angry that he went back to his house and reprimanded Xu Qingling, and asked people to invite Qi Chuan into the main hall.
Prime Minister Xu Cheng sat on the main seat, looking at Qi Chuan, who was as warm as jade, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Qi Chuan is a very ambitious person, and his ability is not bad, otherwise he would not have married his daughter to a champion who came out of the ravine, but this person has lived a comfortable life for a long time, and he has forgotten what kind of virtue he is, a small concubine, and he wants to climb on his daughter's head with a piece of meat in his stomach, which is really bold.
"Ah Chuan, Qingling's temperament is stubborn, and the concubine in Xinna's house in your house is not a rule, which really pokes her heart."
Qi Chuan arched his hand at Prime Minister Xu Cheng, and the guilt on his face couldn't hide it: "This matter is indeed Chuan's fault, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me once, today Chuan will take Qingling back, and he will definitely treat her well, so that she will not suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Xu Qingling was sitting on the side, and when he heard this, Qingli's face couldn't help but show a sneer.
She stood up suddenly and said, "No need to say any more, I'll go back with you." ”
After the words fell, Lan Xiang took Xu Qingling's arm, turned her head and walked out of the main hall directly.
When he left from the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Xu Qingling only took Lanxiang and a maid, but when he went back, there were five people, three of whom were rare beauties, all of them had gorgeous facial features, slender figures, and round and straight breasts and buttocks, which were much stronger than Xu Juan'er's thin body.
These three women are thin horses that Xu Qingling specially bought from Yangzhou, not only are they good, but they can also recite poems and write against each other, they are very talented, and they are holding the deed of sale of the three people in their hands, and they are not afraid of any storms they will make.
As soon as he returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Xu Qingling opened his face to the three of them and became Qi Chuan's roommate.
The mansion, which was originally a little deserted, became a lot more lively.
Xu Juan'er, who lived in the side courtyard, was directly dumbfounded after getting the letter, she thought that Xu Qingling was jealous and would definitely embarrass herself, but now she picked three coquettish-looking concubines for Qi Chuan, and she was pregnant again, where can she compare to those foxes?
Men are all lustful, no matter how serious Qi Chuan is on the surface, didn't he finally close the three concubines one by one? With the company of these three daughters, Qi Chuan had long forgotten about Xu Juan'er, if it weren't for Xu Juan'er still carrying his child in her belly, I am afraid that her life in the mansion would be even more difficult.

The gold essence stone soaked in the water at night can weigh more than ten catties, Chu Liang put away these treasures well, sent someone to Wei Dong, and took them to the south to sell.
There are a lot of Chinese inkers in Suzhou Prefecture, among which there are not a few people who know the goods, when they see these high-grade and even high-grade gold essence stones, these scholars are excited one by one, take silver from home, and want to buy the gold essence stone, but unfortunately there are more monks and less porridge, and the first batch of goods brought by Wei Dong has been sold within three days, and the speed is really beyond Chu Liang's expectations.
More than a dozen catties of gold essence stones were sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there were a lot of stones left in the empty house, and Pan'er was not in a hurry to deal with all the gold essence stones, after all, it was really uncomfortable to get too much spiritual spring water at one time, since Chu Liang had plenty of money at hand, it didn't hurt to be a little slower.
Wait until the New Year's stall, the old plum tree in the yard finally bloomed, at first Pan'er thought that the old plum tree was too seriously injured, this year I am afraid that it will not be able to bloom, how do I think it is still a competitive spirit, the tree is full of plain white petals, revealing a light fragrance, although it is not strong, but the fragrance is extraordinarily special.
Lao Qi moved the beehive to the greenhouse, because it was too cold outside, even if a window was opened to ventilate, these bees rarely went out, and when the plum blossoms bloomed, these little things were unusual, and they were not afraid of the cold, so they went down to the plum petals along the window, and after picking the nectar, they returned to the greenhouse.
When Pan'er heard Lao Qi mention this for the first time, she was also frightened, for fear that the bees would freeze when they went out, after all, beekeeping is not easy, when she went up the back mountain to get the bees into the beehive, Lao Qi and Zhou Zhuangtou were tossed full of bags, and it took several days of ointment to disappear a lot, in case they all died of cold outside, what a pity?
But those little things are not stupid, they have drunk the spring water, much stronger than ordinary bees, tossing back and forth for many times is no problem, Lao Qi even really picked plum nectar in the beehive, although there is only a porcelain bottle so much, the color is lighter than wolfberry honey, but the better is that the aroma is light and elegant, eat into the mouth, the floral fragrance can stay for a whole day, compared to other honey species, it does seem very special.
Go to the empty house to get some spiritual spring water, soak the gold essence stone, if you get more spring water out of the previous time, Pan'er is always hungry and uncomfortable, this time she took the porcelain bottle filled with plum nectar with her, and when she was hungry and panicked, she drank it directly, and a warmth rose in her abdomen, and it was not as uncomfortable as before.
In the blink of an eye, the old man Ge has been thinking about planting spring potatoes since last year, and now that the weather is warm, he asked the old marquis for a lot of manpower, and went to the grange of the Dingbei Hou Mansion to farm, and when he left, he did not forget to find Pan'er to ask for three bottles of spiritual spring water, originally the old man Ge still wanted more, but it is a pity that the spiritual spring water is placed in a porcelain bottle, and the effect can only be maintained for one day and one night, although it can be better stored in the jade bottle, but it cannot prevent the spiritual energy from passing slowly.
Chu Liang felt sorry for the little daughter-in-law, for fear that she would cry and break her eyes, no matter what Old Man Ge said, the man would not let go, and only gave three bottles at most.
Knowing that his general is hard-hearted, even if he wears out his mouth, it is useless, Old Man Ge simply didn't want it, and directly took three bottles of spiritual spring water and left, although the amount of spiritual spring water is not much, it is a rare good thing, with this thing as an introduction, don't worry about the spring potatoes not growing, if a few days are not enough, come back and ask Mrs. for it.
After Ge Zhichuan left, Pan'er was much more idle than before, and Jin Jingshi was not in a hurry, as long as he soaked one or two pieces a day, and after accumulating a certain amount, he handed it over to Wei Dong and sent it to Jiangnan.
After entering February, Zhuangzi ushered in a delicate guest.
Chu Liang personally took the young lady into the Zhuangzi, as soon as the person walked into the hall, Pan'er saw her towering belly, about eight months pregnant, about to give birth, it is said that the woman who is pregnant for eight months, most of the body is very plump, after all, even if the mother has a poor appetite and can't eat, the child still has to grow his body, so naturally he can't eat less, but the young woman in front of him is very thin, except for the belly is high, there is not even a little meat on the body, and the cheeks are sallow, Not even a little blood.
When the woman saw Pan'er, a smile appeared on her gentle face, and she bowed her head slightly, and then she was supported by the maid and went to another small courtyard.
There were only two husband and wife left in the hall, Pan'er and Chu Liang, and the little daughter-in-law's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth with hatred: "The surname Chu, you explain clearly, who is she?" Is it the outer room that you secretly raised, and you are still brought here, you, you are really shameless! ”
Chu Liang saw that the little daughter-in-law's face was blood-red, and she looked angry and ruthless, he was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the person in his arms, the iron arm tightly wrapped around her arm, held the little hand to his lips, and kissed him without stopping: "Madam, that's not an outer room, she is Princess Zhao, and she is pregnant with King Zhao's flesh and blood in her belly......"
"Princess Zhao?"
Pan'er didn't withdraw her hand, and showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Princess Zhao is not staying in the palace, why did she come to us?" ”
"Previously, the prince was sent by the saint to guard the mausoleum, and there was only Princess Zhao who was pregnant in the palace, and the guards surrounded the palace of Zhao, and only one person was allowed to go in to deliver food every day, and there was not even a little meat, Princess Zhao was about to give birth, and if she tossed it like this, I am afraid that the fetus in the womb would not be able to be saved, and if you stay in the Zhuangzi, you can also raise the fetus with peace of mind, plus the old man Ge's medical skills are good, no matter how you look at it, it is better than staying in the palace."
Pan'er said that Princess Zhao was about to lose weight into a handful of bones, if it weren't for Chu Liang to take people out of the palace, he might not know what he would look like, he was close to King Zhao, which Pan'er had already knew, and now that Princess Zhao had already arrived in Zhuangzi, she naturally had to be entertained, and she could end up in the end.
Although Princess Zhao has a noble status, but her temperament is very smooth, the waste village is much simpler than the palace, she does not have the slightest sense of pickiness, but from time to time from the courtyard out of the courtyard, around the outside for a circle or two, originally Princess Zhao also wanted to come to see Pan'er, but because of the yard raised big gray and wolf teeth, the appearance of the two beasts is very hideous and terrifying, like Princess Zhao, a pampered lady, at first glance was frightened speechless, turned around and went back to her courtyard, relieved for a long time before she was not so afraid.
