Chapter Ninety-Nine: Snow Appreciation
“…… The third grandmother might as well invite a few young ladies over. Wu's mother simply suggested, "The slave went to the kitchen to set up a table of banquets, which was placed in the Wangxue Pavilion on the mountain behind Pearl Pond, and the third grandmother and a few young ladies ate and drank while enjoying the snow." ”
It's moldy in the house every day, especially a few ladies in the house like the beautiful scenery of Pearl Pond, a few days ago they also shouted that Pearl Pond was sealed, and there is nowhere to enjoy the snow this winter, this is a good time to get closer to the sister-in-law!
How many ladies please?
Zhao Qing remembered Miss Six's pure eyes and Miss Four's smile full of kindness.
Just as he was about to nod, the eldest lady's cold and calculating eyes flashed in front of him, and he shook his head again, "...... Forget it. "I invited a few young ladies to alarm the eldest lady and the old lady, and bring everyone together at this time...... He shook his head again, it was really out of place.
After all, it was a child, and Zhao Qing asked with red eyes a moment ago, "...... When will Brother Huzi come back? The next moment, Shen Huaijin played with a few little maids like a deer, and climbed the plow.
She wore a royal blue squirrel skin jacket, grass-yellow deerskin boots, and a snow-white mink hat on her head, reflecting a small face that was as red as a ripe apple, which made people hate to take a bite.
He didn't let the little maid help him, and he lay on the snow plough covered with deerskin alone, shouting and rushing down. I didn't control the direction well, and the plow crashed into the snowdrift, and the whole person snowballed and fell into the snowdrift.
Frightened, the nurse and the mother-in-law who were guarding the bottom of the mountain ran over and shouted:
"Miss Seven......
"You didn't fall, did you?"
Shen Huaijin's face was covered with snowflakes and came out of the snowdrift like a bear.
“…… All right! "While beating the snow on his body, he dodged and ran up to the mother-in-law." Hurry up, pull the climbing plow! ”
The two mothers-in-law subconsciously turned their heads.
Seeing that Zhao Qing was holding a cup of hot milk and looking at this with a smile, he had no intention of reproaching at all. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, pulled the plow and ran up.
This bear child is even skinnier than when she was a child!
Seeing that Shen Huaijin didn't let the maid sit on the plow and hug her, and another person was lying on the plow and roaring down, Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head.
It's no wonder that he didn't sue no matter how he beat this child, and only he who had grown up so naughty was willing to indulge her so much, if the second wife saw her like this. I don't know how to feel sorry for the reprimand.
“…… The slave maid plays a game of chess with the third grandmother, right? Just as he was itching, a beautiful voice sounded behind him.
Zhao Qing turned around.
Chunlan held a chess box with a black lacquer inlaid spring ploughing picture and looked at her with a smile.
Under the magnificent sunshine, the little face swept away by the haze is filled with a youthful vitality. Zhao Qing was in a big mood, "Okay! "Turn around and tell Qiaolan, "Let people go and thicken the snowdrifts on both sides of the snow slope, so as not to hurt Miss Seven." He turned and sat down on a chair in the pavilion.
Xia Zhu neatly laid out the chessboard.
Naturally active. I couldn't sit still for a moment. In his previous life, Zhao Qing didn't like to play chess when he was a child, and it was too boring to sit there grinding and chirping!
In particular, Go was not popular at all in her previous life, and she almost never touched it.
However, there is too little entertainment in this life, in addition to practicing calligraphy every day, I only read some obscure books, which are not only delicate but also pregnant and can't run or jump, so I learned to play Go with Chunlan.
Chunlan played Go very well, and she just listened to Chunlan talk about it and played it, and at the beginning let Zhao Qing still lose thirty children.
It's like an adult and a three-year-old fighting in the ring. Not a heavyweight at all.
Originally, when I saw Chunlan and Sister-in-law Liu, I wanted to reach out and try it, but it was just to pass the time. Who knows, as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was killed and lost her armor, Zhao Qing passed through this, she was immediately aroused to be competitive after not admitting defeat since she was a child.
Fortunately, Zhao Qing is the master, no matter how bad the chess is, Chunlan will not dare to refuse, and no one dares to say that she is a stinky chess basket.
came and went, and now only Chunlan needs to let eight sons.
“…… I didn't see that eye just now, negligent, let's do it again! The first time I tried to let the seven sons, I was killed by Chunlan, and Zhao Qing pushed the chessboard Zhang Luo to play hard.
Seeing that the third grandmother, who had always been calm and self-controlled, and who had not changed color before the collapse of Mount Tai, was also playing tricks like Shen Huaijin, Xia Zhu and the others laughed and laughed.
"This time, I will let you have seven sons!" Chunlan smiled and set up the chessboard.
“…… Good news, good news! As soon as he got off his hands, a little maid ran up excitedly, and shouted with her head raised from a distance.
Everyone looked up.
It is an incense candle that stays at the front door to watch the house.
She ran to Zhao Qing sweating profusely, panting and saying at the same time, "The eldest master has borrowed silver!" ”
Zhao Qing was stunned.
Fighting with the Yang family to such an extent, no one dares to set foot in this quagmire, where did this stunned young man come from?
Yang Ziqian!
Inexplicably, this name suddenly popped up in Zhao Qing's mind, and she was in a trance.
"Got the money?" On the other side, Xia Zhu Chunlan both asked loudly, "How much did you borrow, and who borrowed it?" "It's no secret that the eldest lord has been feasting everywhere for the past two months but has gained nothing.
And it's unbelievable to suddenly borrow silver.
Surprised, delighted and a little disbelieving, Chunlan Xia Zhu looked at the incense candle intently.
"I borrowed 300,000 taels!" The incense candle blushed slightly, "It was Master Fang who pulled the strings and borrowed it from the Liuhe Commercial Bank, saying that it was to buy the grain in the Liuhe area, and the eldest lady just sent Yingchun to send a maroon mink jacket to the third grandmother, a pair of red gold lilac earrings, and a plum blossom hairpin with eight treasures!" ”
"Didn't you reject the eldest master a long time ago, why did the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce suddenly change its attitude again?" Xia Zhu was a little inexplicable.
"Sister Yingchun told the slave maid that the grain supplier of the Western Expedition army only chose one, and whoever hoarded more grain would choose whom, and now the two families of Shen and Yang are hoarding grain, and the focus of the competition is on the grain in the Liuhe area, and the Liuhe Fang family and we are in-laws, and the discerning people know at a glance that the grain in the Liuhe area belongs to us, so the wealth of the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce collected the silver and lent it to the lord." Xiang Zhu said, "Sister Yingchun said, this is all said by the eldest man himself. ”
Qiao Lan jumped up high, "...... Now it's okay, Master Fang has made such a great contribution, the eldest lady no longer dares to arrange the third grandmother at will! ”
"Really?" Zhao Qing's voice was faint.
The joyful cries filled the pavilion, and they were infected by the joyful atmosphere, and everyone didn't hear the chill in Zhao Qing's words.
"Sister Yingchun also said so, firstly, we are in-laws with the Fang family, and secondly, we have just issued a holy decree that the grain and grass of the Western Expedition army will be responsible for the Shen family's life-saving Fu commander...... This time the Shen family has won! Xiangzhu sighed, "Thanks to the wisdom of the eldest master, he was not bewitched by Lord Ma?" ”
"Why did you get involved with Master Ma again?"
Zhao Qing raised his head in surprise. (To be continued......)
