At night, He Wei, who was still kneeling in the alley, was still kneeling straight on the ground, and Xiao Si behind him was already so uncomfortable that he leaned together.

Although there was no snow that night, the winter night was still bitterly cold. But the coldness of the night, compared to He Wei's cold eyes, is really not worth mentioning.

In the early morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, after Lin Jinzhuo took Lin Yueying and Lin Yuelang to worship the gods, he returned to the small ancestral hall on the right side of the Lin Mansion to worship the ancestors.

Lin Liang took a handful of incense, lit it on the incense candle burning in the incense burner, and gave the incense in his hand to Lin Jinzhuo, Lin Yueying and Lin Yuelang one by one.

Lin Jinzhuo took Lin Yueying and Lin Yuelang to kowtow in front of his parents' tablets, and after he was done, he came to the right side of the offering platform to incense the deceased Luo Jinyao.

Luo Jinyao's tablet should have been placed under the tablet of Lin Jinzhuo's parents, but Lin Jinzhuo wanted to hang Luo Jinyao's portrait in the ancestral hall.

The portrait of a junior cannot be hung on top of the elders, so when Lin Jinzhuo thought about it, he put Luo Jinyao's portrait and her tablet on the lower right side of the offering table.

It stands to reason that the subordinates don't need to incense Luo Jinyu, but Lin Liang and Luo Sha have also been with Luo Jinyao for so many years and have feelings, so Lin Jinzhuo made an exception and asked them to take Lin Yi to incense Luo Jinyao.

Chu Xingluo, who came back from the sacrifice, did not go back to Chu Mansion directly with Luo Jinyu and Chu Lin, but turned around and entered Lin Mansion.

Lin Liang saw that it was Chu Xingluo who came, so he just said hello to him and let him in.

Chu Xingluo looked at the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, not only did it clean and clean, but it was also very festively decorated, which made people happy when they looked at it.

Before Chu Xingluo walked past the front yard, he was stopped by Lin Yuelang who came out of it: "Alas, little ghost, this is not your house, don't wander around." ”

Chu Xingluo was not happy when he heard Lin Yuelang say this, and what made him even more unhappy was Lin Yuelang's similar appearance to Chu Lin.

Lin Yuelang hadn't treated Chu Xingluo well since he came back, and Chu Xingluo didn't feel the need to talk to him well, so he said coldly: "I'm here to find Sister Yueying." ”

Lin Yuelang was originally not angry, but when he heard Chu Xingluo call Lin Yueying "sister", he was a little unhappy, and he walked over and quarreled with him: "Little ghost, that's my sister, not your sister." When it comes to relationships, you should call her 'cousin', not 'sister'! ”

Lin Yuelang scolded himself inexplicably when he came over, and Chu Xingluo was not happy: "At the beginning, Sister Yueying asked me to call her 'sister', and I called you 'brother' because Sister Yueying asked me to call her so." If Brother Yuelang is not happy, go and tell Sister Yueying yourself! ”

Lin Yuelang really didn't dare to mention it to Lin Yueying, but he didn't want to lose to a child even in a quarrel, and argued: "That was when I was a child, and now I don't count!" ”

Chu Xingluo listened to Lin Yuelang's somewhat childish words, felt that he had touched his weakness, and said proudly: "Brother Yuelang, this is your unilateral idea, and you don't dare to tell Sister Yueying about it." ”

Chu Xingluo's words really poked Lin Yuelang's sore spot.

Lin Yuelang didn't want to talk to Chu Xingluo anymore, so he couldn't help but kick Chu Xingluo out: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go." ”

Lin Yueying, who heard the movement in the hall, said to Lin Jinzhuo, who was also in the hall, and came out to see what was going on.

Lin Yueying, who had not yet arrived at the door, saw Lin Yuelang driving Chu Xingluo out, and Lin Yueying, who didn't know what was going on, immediately walked over.

No matter what Chu Xingluo said, he was also the second son of Chu Mansion, which Lin Yuelang said that he would leave, so he just stood there and refused to move a step. And Lin Yuelang just talked about it, and didn't get started, the two of them just stood there staring at each other.

Chu Xingluo saw Lin Yueying coming, no longer paid attention to Lin Yuelang, and called Lin Yueying to walk towards her.

Since Lin Yuelang came to stop Chu Xingluo, how could he just let him pass, and hurriedly took a step to the right and stopped Chu Xingluo.

Chu Xingluo looked at Lin Yuelang in front of him, and looked at him, neither of them wanted to give each other a penny.

When Lin Yueying saw Chu Xingluo, she was blocked by Lin Yuelang. Lin Yueying couldn't help but push him away, stood in front of Chu Xingluo, and pinched his face with his right hand: "Little Xingluo is here, happy New Year!" ”

Although Chu Xingluo didn't want Lin Yueying to pinch his face, this time he didn't dodge it, and glanced at Lin Yuelang proudly.

Lin Yuelang looked at Chu Xingluo's smug face and pouted unhappily.

Lin Xingluo did not pretend to be cold as usual this time, but said to Lin Yueying from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Yueying, Happy New Year!" ”

Lin Yueying didn't find that the kitten between the two of them was boring, so she said to Chu Xingluo: "Sister Yueying hasn't gone to Liuyunyuan to attend classes these days, Xiao Xingluo is not lonely, right?" ”

Chu Xingluo is also a little man, how can he tell a girl about his tiredness, so he straightened his waist and said: "Look at what Sister Yueying said, before Sister Yueying came, Xingluo went to class alone, and loneliness and boredom were common. ”

Lin Yueying has never had this kind of feeling?

Lin Yueying nodded and said, "Sister Yueying knows, after all, Sister Yueying has also encountered it at this time." Reading and writing, female red embroidery, playing the piano and dancing, these are boring to learn, but you have to learn! ”

Chu Xingluo listened to what Lin Yueying said, as if he had found a soulmate, and looked at Lin Yueying with golden light in his eyes: "That's it, that's it!" ”

Lin Yuelang, who was standing on the side, looked at the two people who seemed to have found a soulmate, and looked at Chu Xingluo mockingly with a crooked mouth.

Lin Yuelang couldn't see Lin Yueying talking to Xingluo, so when he came to Lin Yueying's side, he asked Chu Xingluo: "Don't talk nonsense, just say what you're doing here, right?" ”

Lin Yueying listened to how Yuelang talked to Chu Xingluo, and she was happy just now, but she immediately turned her head and stared at him in displeasure.

Lin Yuelang felt that the cold air around him was pressing, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Chu Xingluo looked at Lin Yuelang, who was still vicious just now, and after Lin Yueying looked at him, his eyes immediately became unfirm, and he couldn't help but snicker.

In front of the Scales Courtyard, Chu Lin looked at Chu Xingluo who came over humming a little song, so he stopped him and said, "What's the matter, so happy?" ”

Chu Xingluo was not polite to Chu Lin, turned around and entered the Scales Courtyard: "It's nothing, just go to the other door and talk to Sister Yueying." ”

Chu Lin also followed: "Usually you can't hide from Yueying, why did you take the initiative to find her today?" ”

Chu Xingluo was a little unhappy when he heard Chu Lin say this: "Big brother, you don't want to think about it, Yueying likes to stick to me so much, can I not avoid her?" ”

This is also true.

Chu Lin asked again: "Then what did you gain from chatting so happily with your sister Yueying?" ”

Chu Lin's question, Chu Xingluo didn't answer, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said, "Secret! ”

Chu Lin looked at Chu Xingluo, who was still deliberately selling Guan, and laughed dryly, but he didn't want to put down his body and ask him, so he said stubbornly: "Secret? Who is rare? ”

Chu Xingluo looked at Chu Lin, who pretended to be indifferent, and then thought about Lin Yuelang, who was stared at by Lin Yueying, who was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but marvel at Lin Yueying's existence in their eyes: It is said that one thing descends one thing, and this is just right for you!

Outside Qi Yungu's inner hall, Qi Yungu's nurse Nai Mama was in front of Qi Yungu's inner hall, anxiously looking at the closed door of the inner hall, and waited for a long time for Qi Yungu to come out of the inner hall.

Nai Mama saw that Qi Yungu was still wearing the white clothes of the past, and hesitated before she stepped forward to say to him: "Does the prince want to wear this to celebrate the New Year with the Queen Mother?" ”

Qi Yungu didn't pay attention to the meaning of Nai's words, and after looking at the clothes on his body, he didn't feel that it was inappropriate, so he asked Nai Mama instead: "Isn't this king's clothes very good?" ”

Nai Mama heard Qi Yungu say this, and it was hard to deny it, but she felt that Qi Yungu really wanted to wear this, which was really inappropriate: "This is the New Year, the prince wears this to celebrate the New Year with the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will make the Queen Mother angry." ”

Since Yuan Yi passed away, Qi Yungu's heart has also died, the prosperity of the world has not entered his eyes, and beautiful women have not entered his heart. Since he doesn't care about anything, how can he care about what he wears?

Qi Yungu looked at the clothes on his body, and felt that if he really went like this, it would only make the Queen Mother angry and make a fuss, so he turned back to the inner room and said to Mama Nai: "Then change your body, this king doesn't want to be nagged by the queen mother." ”

When Mama Nai at the door heard Qi Yungu say this, she immediately followed in with a smile, came to the big wardrobe made of rosewood, opened the door of the wardrobe carved with a flying dragon, took out a blue-purple gown from the wardrobe, brought it to Qi Yungu, and said, "This was customized by the old slave in the dressroom a few days ago. The old slave knew that the prince didn't like too complicated things, so he told them to just embroider auspicious clouds on the cuffs and skirts. But for fear that it would be too simple, the Queen Mother would be angry with the prince, so she embroidered the flying dragon with colorful silk threads on the back of the clothes. ”

Qi Yungu looked at the clothes in Nai's hand, and couldn't help admiring her for being able to open her eyes and say nonsense: Didn't you see the dragon head on her left chest?

Whatever Mama Nai said, it was also for Qi Yungu's sake, and Qi Yao couldn't refuse her, so she said "change clothes", and the maid waiting on the side immediately came over to change Qi Yungu.

After the maidservant changed her clothes for Qi Yungu, she was accustomed to tying a mandarin duck pendant for Qi Yungu, but she was stopped by Qi Yungu: "Give the jade pendant to this king." ”

Mama Nai saw that Qi Yungu didn't let the maid tie the mandarin duck pendant, thinking that he had finally let go of Yuan Yi and was about to be happy, but she saw Qi Yungu put the jade pendant on her chest, and she knew that she was just happy for nothing.

The matter between Qi Yungu and Yuan Yi, Nai Mama also saw it, but Yuan Yi had already passed away, Qi Yungu still couldn't let her go, and Nai Mama hated her a little.

After Qi Yungu was dressed neatly, he left the Nanshan Palace, and Mama Nai, who followed him, asked, "When the prince entered the palace this time, did he still only bring one smoker?" ”

"Hmm. The palace is not like the palace, there are many rules, and it is troublesome when there are too many people. ”

Nai Mama felt that it was the same when she heard it, after all, Qi Yungu didn't want to have more rights and wrongs.

Mama Nai sent Qi Yungu to the door of Prince Mu's mansion, watched Qi Yungu get into the carriage, and the dozen or so guards who were waiting in front of the door also got on their horses, followed Qi Yungu's carriage, and went in the direction of the palace.

Mama Nai looked at the van of horses that were gradually moving away, raised her eyebrows and sighed: "What a good prince, will you have to fold on Miss Yuan Yi's body for the rest of your life?" ”

The carriage of Prince Mu's mansion walked on the deserted streets, all the way forward.

Qi Yungu in the carriage took out the mandarin duck pendant on his chest and rubbed it thoughtfully.

Since Xun followed Qi Yungu into the palace, it was not good to hide in the shadows, so as not to be criticized, so he followed behind Qi Yungu in an orderly manner.

In the majestic palace, Qi Yungu walked on the corridor of the red beam and golden tile, led by four palace maids playing the lantern of the Four Dragons Palace, followed by four palace maids, and came to the Tai'an Hall where the Empress Dowager Zhu Rongguo lived.

In the Tai'an Palace, a woman with still charm is sitting on the throne of a gold lacquer carved phoenix in the most comfortable posture. I saw her black hair, mixed with a few strands of white hair, coiled high, and wore a golden crown encrusted with various precious stones. Her crystal purple phoenix robe wrapped around her still graceful figure.

This person is the Empress Dowager of Zhu Rongguo, the biological mother of Qi Yu and Qi Yungu, with the title of Xi, known as the "Empress Dowager Xi".

Qi Yu and Qi Yang are also in the Tai'an Palace, sitting on the main hall on the left and right, and next to Qi Yu sits a wife of a similar age to him, the queen He Qingmeng.

He Qingmeng, who has a dignified demeanor, has a slender figure, slightly drooping phoenix eyes with clear waves, and a slightly curved mouth with a charming breeze; Her green silk high plate, wearing a golden phoenix crown and a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin, shows her charm and dignity.

The palace maid waiting in front of the door saw Qi Yungu coming, turned around and entered the Tai'an Palace, and said to the Empress Dowager Xi: "The Empress Dowager, Prince Mu is here!" ”

Everyone who was chatting happily stopped talking when they heard the palace maid's announcement and looked at the door one after another.

Qi Yungu's beauty is also one of the best in Zhurong Kingdom, he just entered the Tai'an Palace, and the palace maids in the palace couldn't help but secretly look at him.

Qi Yungu, who had just entered the Tai'an Palace, saw that everyone was looking at him, not only the palace maids waiting on the side were looking at him, but even Qi Yu, Qi Yang and others were also looking at him, and he rarely showed a trace of shyness, but he could only continue to move forward.

Qi Yungu came to the Empress Dowager Xi, saluted respectfully, and then saluted Qi Yu, He Qingmeng, Qi Yang and his concubine He in turn.

Empress Dowager Xi on the throne looked at the inconspicuous scar on Qi Yungu's lower lip, although she was a little distressed, but she was a little more happy, because Empress Dowager Xi didn't see Qi Yungu wearing his half-moon-shaped mandarin duck pendant as usual.

As soon as Qi Yungu finished saluting Princess He, Empress Dowager Xi impatiently stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, your family doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Qi Yungu, who had just entered the Tai'an Palace, had not done anything yet, but he was counted down by the Empress Dowager Xi, and he was embarrassed, so he silently came to the seat next to Concubine He and sat down.

Qi Yang watched Qi Yungu sit down, leaned back, looked at Qi Yungu from behind Concubine He, and said to him: "Yun Gu, don't take the words of the imperial sister-in-law to heart, she will say it casually." ”

Qi Yungu naturally knew this, but he still politely said to Qi Yang: "Yungu knows!" ”

Empress Dowager Xi asked Mama Sai beside her again: "Are you ready over there?" ”

Mama Sai lowered her head and replied to the Empress Dowager Xi and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, everything is ready!" ”

"Now that they're all ready, let them serve the food, and the mourning family is hungry!"

When Empress Dowager Xi said this, she was like a child who had been hungry for a long time, and the people who gave up her seat were speechless, but Qi Yu couldn't help laughing. On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Xi felt that it was nothing, and said a little willfully: "What, the Queen Mother of the Mourning Family, can't you say anything when she is hungry?" ”

Qi Yu couldn't stop laughing when he heard Empress Dowager Xi say things that didn't match her identity at all.

Seeing Qi Yu smiling like this, Empress Dowager Xi pouted and glared at him.

Qi Yu saw that the Empress Dowager Xi was glaring at him, although he didn't laugh out loud, he was still laughing, so that everyone couldn't stand it, and even He Qingmeng beside him had to lightly bump Qi Yu with his elbow, and Qi Yu slowly quieted down.

Mama Sai gave the little eunuch waiting at the door of the main hall a look, and the little eunuch shouted in his shrill voice outside the main hall: "Go to the imperial meal!" ”

As soon as the little eunuch's voice fell, palace maids with all kinds of dishes came in one after another from outside the door, and after putting the dishes on the table in front of everyone, they all retreated.

Qi Yang ate by himself, and did not forget to peel grapes for Princess He beside him, and even Qi Yu, who was the king of a country, poured wine for He Qingmeng beside him.

He Qing dreamed that Qi Yu poured himself wine in front of his elders, and he was surprised and delighted, so he drank the glass of wine half-pushed.

Empress Dowager Xi saw Qi Yu and Qi Yang pampering her woman in front of a lonely family, although she was full of jealousy, she didn't pay attention to them, but asked Qi Yungu sideways: "What are Yungu's plans for next year?" ”

When everyone heard Empress Dowager Xi ask Qi Yungu, they all looked at him.

Qi Yungu saw that everyone was looking at him again, and he didn't know why, but he still replied to the Empress Dowager Xi and said, "Yun Gu doesn't have any plans!" ”

Qi Yungu's answer made everyone a little disappointed, and they all set their eyes on the Empress Dowager Xi.

Qi Yungu saw that everyone was looking at him first, and now he was looking at the Queen Mother, and he was even more confused.

This is not to blame Qi Yungu, because Qi Yang, who entered the palace early in the morning, told everyone present that Qi Yungu was bitten on the lip by the girl's family early on. Therefore, as soon as Qi Yungu entered the gate of Tai'an Palace, everyone looked at him.

Empress Dowager Xi thought that Qi Yungu was pretending to be stupid, so she directly picked out and said: "If you meet a girl who is pleasant, you can grasp it." If Yun Gu is embarrassed to speak, the queen mother and your royal brother can give you a marriage! ”

Qi Yungu felt inexplicable when he heard what the Empress Dowager Xi said, but when he saw Qi Yang's smiling face, he noticed that he must have said something to everyone present before he came, but Qi Yang was an elder, and Qi Yungu couldn't talk about him, so he could only smile helplessly.

It's okay if Qi doesn't smile, when he laughs, everyone thinks that this thing is promising.

Empress Dowager Xi couldn't care about Qi Yungu's skin-to-skin relationship with the girl before marriage, and felt that it didn't matter if Qi Yungu suddenly appeared in front of her with a girl who was pregnant with Liujia, so she urged: "Tell the queen mother, which girl is it?" ”

How did Empress Dowager Xi answer this question for Qi Yungu? Not to mention that the girl has been avoiding herself from beginning to end, and Yuan Cheng has already known each other before him, so how can he take a kick for her? But Empress Dowager Xi is so happy now, and he doesn't want to make her unhappy.

Qi Yun thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't find a way that could not involve Lin Yueying and not hurt the Empress Dowager Xi, so he cast a look at Qi Yu for help.

Qi Yu looked at Qi Yungu, who was looking at him for help, and instantly understood what he meant, and he also obeyed his own wishes, so he shook the wine glass and said to the Empress Dowager Xi intentionally or unintentionally: "Queen Mother, looking at the shyness of the third child, I am afraid that I have really met someone who is tempting." If this is the case, the queen mother does not have to be anxious, and when he is willing to say it one day, the queen mother will naturally know which girl it is! ”

He Qingmeng also echoed and said: "Queen Mother, what the emperor said is also true. After all, it's rare for the third brother to be tempted by a girl, so let them benefit first, and when the third brother really wants to start a family, isn't it your will? ”

The anxious Empress Dowager Xi couldn't wait for that time, and then asked Qi Yungu: "What does Yungu think?"

What can Qi Yungu think, thank God for escaping this catastrophe!

Qi Yun replied without thinking about it: "Yes!" ”

Empress Dowager Xi was a little disappointed when she heard Qi Yungu's answer, but Qi Yungu said so, and she couldn't help it, so she agreed: "Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it, you can hide it in the golden house, I'll see how long you can hide it!" ”

Empress Dowager Xi's willful answer caught Qi Yungu off guard, and she smiled awkwardly again.

But Qi Yungu rarely likes a girl, and Empress Dowager Xi doesn't want to give up like this.

A few people inherited the meal, and the Empress Dowager Xi asked He Qingmeng again: "Queen, didn't your eldest brother come back this year?" ”

He Qingmeng didn't know why Empress Dowager Xi suddenly asked He Hao, but he still put the vegetables that he was about to put in his mouth back into the bowl, and replied to Empress Dowager Xi: "Yes, Liujia is still young and not suitable for long journeys, so my brother decided not to come back this year." ”

The Liujia in He Qingmeng's mouth refers to He Hao's son He Liujia, born by He Hao's wife Du Jiangmeng, who is about the same age as Luo Ange.

Empress Dowager Xi said with deep feelings: "Also, the child is still young, it's better not to run around, otherwise there is something sick, and the one who suffers will be blamed, and the adults will also feel distressed." ”

He Qingmeng agreed: "Yes, Jiang Meng just married into the Lingyun Mansion for the first two years, and she couldn't keep the child, she thought she had a problem at the time. No, under the recommendation of Imperial Doctor Li, let my brother take Jiang Meng to Chiyue Red Lake to recuperate. No, within a year, Jiang Meng became pregnant, and he was still a chubby little boy! ”

When they heard the news, the mourning family still wanted the emperor to take the queen there...... So what's going on? ”

Empress Dowager Xi couldn't remember where He Hao and Du Jiangmeng went for a while, so she asked He Qingmeng.

He Qingmeng reminded her: "After returning to my mother, it is the Red Moon Red Lake. ”

When Empress Dowager Xi heard He Qingmeng say this, she remembered: "Yes, it's the Red Moon Red Lake, does the queen want to go there to raise it?" ”

He Qingmeng didn't know why the Empress Dowager Xi asked herself like this, did she just care about herself, or did she want to support herself?

He Qingmeng wasn't sure which one it was, because since she entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Xi never treated herself badly, she thought about herself in everything, and her temperament was like a little girl, pampered and willful, and she didn't know if she was spoiled by the first emperor.

He Qingmeng politely rejected the Empress Dowager Xi and said: "Look at what the queen mother said, the concubine is not like Jiang Meng, she has no worries, and the matter at hand is not to be put down." ”

"You're just too worried!"

Empress Dowager Xi said with some regret: "The mourning family still thinks that if He Hao comes back, he will definitely bring Du Jiangmeng and Liujia, if you really don't want to go to Chiyue Red Lake, let Jiang Meng send the child to you to live there for a few days, so that you can be happy and let you also conceive a dragon." It's been two years since you entered the palace, and there has been no movement at all, and the mourning family is anxious for you. ”

Empress Dowager Xi suddenly mentioned the matter of the child, which made He Qingmeng a little sad.

Qi Yu noticed He Qingmeng's gloom, and hurriedly interjected: "Queen Mother, the child's affairs are just fine, what is the hurry, if you are in a hurry, I am willing to be anxious every day." Besides, didn't He Hao also have a child after three years of marriage, what am I anxious about? ”

Qi Yu didn't mention that this was okay, but as soon as he mentioned that this was the Empress Dowager Xi, he became angry: "Look at what you kid said, why don't you look at Luo Shaoqing in the Mingguo Mansion, people are one year younger than you, and other people's daughters can be called fathers." What about you? You don't touch any of the three thousand beauties in the harem, and you run out every day, you are like this, when will you have children, ah? ”

"I, I......"

Qi Yu wanted to refute Empress Dowager Xi's words, but he couldn't say anything.

Qi Yungu, who didn't even have a concubine, naturally didn't dare to provoke the Empress Dowager Xi by opening his mouth to provoke him, but Qi Yang, who had a wife and children, blatantly snickered at Qi Yu's predicament.

Although Qi Yang is an elder, Qi Yu is still the emperor, Qi Yang actually laughed like this, so that Princess He, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but hit Qi Yang hard with his elbow, and Qi Yang couldn't laugh in pain.

"The emperor is playful and sneaks out of the palace, it is the fault of the concubines, so don't embarrass the emperor."

The crowd who was still noisy and laughing red just now quieted down after listening to He Qingmeng's words.

Empress Dowager Xi obviously said Qi Yu, but it was He Qingmeng who came out to admit her mistake, which made Empress Dowager Xi a little at a loss, so she coughed dryly and said to He Qingmeng: "The mourning family is also in a hurry, not sincere, don't take it to heart, the queen." ”

Empress Dowager Xi is an elder in the end, how could He Qingmeng blame her, so she said: "The concubine knows!" ”

The atmosphere in the Tai'an Hall became more and more awkward, but Qi Yu, who didn't pay attention to this, used his left hand to gently take He Qingmeng's right hand and looked at her with affection.

He Qingmeng looked at Qi Yu's hot eyes, she was still gloomy just now, and a trace of blush appeared on her face.

The atmosphere that was still embarrassing just now suddenly eased up again with He Qingmeng's blush.

Empress Dowager Xi looked at the ambiguous Qi Yu and He Qingmeng, and drank the wine in the jade cup with a smile.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, every family gathered around to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, except for He Wei, who was lying on the bed, even though his body was in severe pain, and refused to say a word, half-struggling to look at the dark ceiling.

In the hall of He Mansion, He Ju asked Wu Feng, who was treating He Wei under the hall: "Doctor, can the child's leg be saved?" ”

It was not surprising that He Ju asked Wu Feng this, because of the four subordinates who knelt with He Wei, two of them only knelt for two days and lost their legs, while the other two only saved one leg.

Although Wu Feng is only a medical officer of the sixth grade, he also knows He Ju's personality. Relying on being He Hao's close relative, the officials who often bullied him, and also took advantage of his position to suppress all the impeachment proceedings that were unfavorable to the He family, and finally they were all gone.

Wu Feng was just a small medical officer, but he didn't dare to provoke He Ju, so he immediately replied: "Fortunately, the weather has been warm during the day in the past few days, and He Gongzi's body is strong, and his legs are fine, but he ......."

Wu Feng only said half of what he said, and He Ju was so anxious that he couldn't sit still: "Just what? ”

Wu Feng didn't dare to look directly at He Ju, lowered his head and whispered: "He Gongzi's legs are severely cold, I'm afraid that if there is a rainy day in the future, the pain will be unbearable!" ”

Wu Feng's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting He Ju's soft little heart.

He Ju suddenly slumped on the chair and pounded the table next to him with regret: "That child is only eighteen years old, and he has fallen into such a disease!" How will I live in the future! ”

Wu Feng saw that He Ju regretted being like this, for fear that he would spill his anger on himself, so he continued to keep his head down, standing there and not daring to move.

If it were someone else who was embarrassed by He Wei, He Ju was afraid that he would be going to cut people with a knife, but now it was Qi Yungu who was embarrassed by He Wei, even if He Ju didn't take Qi Yungu in his eyes, he couldn't do anything to him now, and he could only pound the table inactively.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ran'er, who changed into a coral red dress and a light orange red half-sleeved coat, took out a bean-green long jacket painted with pines and cypresses from the wardrobe and put it on Lin Jinzhuo.

As soon as Lin Jinzhuo got dressed, Lin Liang knocked on the door and came.

Lin Jinzhuo looked at Lin Liang, who had changed into a purple dress, and quipped: "You have changed into new clothes, you are several years younger!" ”

Lin Jinzhuo rarely praised himself, making Lin Liang, who was in his thirties, ashamed like a child: "Look at what the master said, the old slave just changed his clothes, how can he be young?" It's a few years old. It's the master, the elegance is still there! ”

Everyone is willing to listen to nice words, and Lin Jinzhuo is no exception, but when he looked at himself in the mirror, the smile on his face was a little bitter.

The elegance is still nothing, and the man can't see it.

The bitterness on Lin Jinzhuo's face was instantaneous, after all, he didn't want others to worry about the New Year, so he came to the outhouse and sat down on the stool.

Lin Liang saw Lin Jinzhuo come out of the house, and he also walked out, and so did Ran'er.

As soon as Lin Jinzhuo sat down, he asked Lin Liang: "During this time, there have been many more people in the house one after another, and the amount of food and clothing is also several times that of the original. ”

This Lin Liang is really difficult to answer, because on the account, not only is there not less, but there are more and more, how can Lin Liang answer?

Lin Liang didn't want to deceive Lin Jinzhuo, so after thinking about it, he said: "Since the master returned to the imperial capital, he has given the money to the young lady for safekeeping, and the young lady also gives it to the old slave regularly, and the old slave really doesn't know how much money is left in the original account." ”

Although Lin Yueying is young, she has been taking care of the things in the house for the past two years, and Lin Jinzhuo is also very relieved.

Lin Jinzhuo continued Lin Liang's words: "Yueying, this kid has a bright head, she knows how to use money, and she won't take the initiative to ask Mrs. Chu for money." Since Yueying didn't mention money to me, she must still have rich money there. ”

Lin Jinzhuo said to himself, but Lin Liang on the side was ashamed.

Lin Jinzhuo paused, and then asked Lin Liang: "Is the money for the red envelope ready?" ”

When Lin Liang heard Lin Jinzhuo speak, he opened the small box he had just brought over: "As soon as he entered the wax moon, the old slave carefully left some scattered silver, thinking that when the old man celebrated the New Year, he would give red envelopes to the young lady and the young master, and now they are all here." ”

Lin Jinzhuo looked at the nearly half box of scattered silver, and couldn't help but exclaim, but there was still a person standing next to him, and it was not easy to show it, so he stubbornly said: "The newcomers from the house are all celebrating the New Year in the house for the first time, so each person will be given one copy, and if you want to send it, you will send two copies of the previous year, which is auspicious!" ”

Lin Liang knew that Lin Jinzhuo was dying to save face, and it was difficult to tell him about it, after all, if this half box of silver was in Lin County, it would be enough for them to eat for half a year.

Lin Liang called Shang Ran'er to join him and put the small boxes of silver into the prepared red money bags with him.
