Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu came hand in hand, each carrying two large boxes in their hands.

Four boxes?!

Qingping Hou's heart was relieved: I still know how to take things home, and it seems that I haven't been ruthless to that extent.

Mrs. Qingping's eyes are sharp: That seems to be ...... Food boxes?

They haven't come back for so long, and they finally come back, so why don't they come back with some food?

The old couple smiled together with different moods but aspirations: "I'm back!" Sit down! ”

"Father! Madam! ”

Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu put down the box and said goodbye.

"Is this coming back from the palace?"

Qingping Hou still wanted to show his father's majesty, but when he thought that he had a request for him, his face eased a little.

"Yes." Qingping Hou answered.

"What did Your Majesty tell you?"

"This is a secret of the imperial court, and it is not easy to explain it to my father."

Qi Yunxiao obviously thought about how to reply on the way back, and refused immediately.

Qingping Hou: "......"

Mrs. Qingping's eyes were a little red: "The prince can now have access to the secrets of the imperial court?!" ”

Jealousy made her voice tremble.

Qi Yunxiao glanced at Mrs. Qingpinghou: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Qingpinghou: "It seems that the prince is very valued by His Majesty...... I wonder if you need an assistant for that errand? Your brother is now older, and ...... family."

"Who to use and what to do, Your Majesty has his own considerations, I don't have much to say."

Qi Yunxiao interrupted Mrs. Qingpinghou's words, and lowered his eyes to not see Mrs. Qingpinghou at all.

Mrs. Qingpinghou: "......"

Although he knew for a long time that he couldn't rely on Qi Yunxiao, the moment he was rejected, he still couldn't hide his disappointment and resentment in his heart.

Why didn't he give him a chance?

Obviously, he doesn't have a good relationship with the major families in the capital, even if he doesn't give this opportunity to himself, others won't be grateful to him!

Isn't he happy to see the Qingping Marquis Mansion rise?

As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Qingping felt uncomfortable: "When you come back this time, I don't see that you have brought any of your subordinates, or I will give you a few maidservants, you will bring them, and there will be people to do daily chores?" ”

Qi Yunxiao: "It's not necessary, I've been running around all these years, and I'm used to living in the countryside, so I'm not used to being served." ”

Mr. and Mrs. Qingpinghou: "......"

The old couple who refused both expected it.

Qingping Hou coughed: "Since you're back, let's stay at home." ”

Qi Yunxiao glanced at Qingpinghou: "We came back this time, we didn't stay for a long time, and the lady still had to go to her mother's house for some things." I don't live at home. ”

Qingping Hou: "...... Her maiden family? ”

Isn't she just a country woman?

Isn't my mother's home in Tongxin Mansion thousands of miles away?

Where did she come from in the capital?

The Marquis of Qingping and his wife looked at each other in surprise, and Mrs. Marquis Qingping asked in surprise, "Is it a relative of Qingyu?" ”

Only then did Shen Qingyu come forward and reply: "Mrs. Hui, it's my mother's house." I recently learned that my mother is the Duchess of Weiguo, and I am the only lady in the Weiguo Mansion......"

"Bang dang!" It was the cracking sound of the tea cup being taken down, and Mrs. Qingping Hou stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" ”

Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao glanced at each other, since this matter had crossed the Ming Road with the emperor, and he was going to the Weiguo Mansion again, this matter naturally could not be hidden.

So Qi Yunxiao came forward to explain, and explained Shen Qingyu's life experience from head to tail.

Mr. and Mrs. Qingpinghou: "!! ”

"Wei Guogong and his wife have not been seen for many years, but they actually met you in Tongxin Mansion?"

What kind of shit luck is this?!

Shen Qingyu nodded in acknowledgement, which made Mrs. Qingpinghou red-eyed.

"Although Wei Guogong and his wife have not been seen for many years, the grain shops under their names have been operating very well over the years, and they are all over the state capitals of Daqi......"

The more Mrs. Qingping Hou spoke, the more her eyes turned red, looking at Shen Qingyu's eyes, she almost flew a knife.

Shen Qingyu smiled gently: "Yes, my mother told me." ”

"Since you are the only concubine that the Duke of Weiguo has just recognized, what did the Duchess of Weiguo say about your marriage?" Mrs. Qingping Hou frowned and asked.

Shen Qingyu glanced at Qi Yunxiao shyly: "The children have all given birth to three, so my mother naturally has nothing to say." ”

Mrs. Qingpinghou: "......"

Is this what I'm asking you?

I'm asking you, now that you've been recognized, what does your mother think about your dowry?

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Qingping Hou decided not to turn around: "Then your mother...... Will you be compensated for the dowry? ”

Shen Qingyu glanced at Mrs. Qingping Hou in slight surprise: "I grew up in the countryside, and I don't understand the rules of these high-ranking families......

"Madame, but I know that I am the concubine of the Weiguo Mansion, and I want to make up a dowry? And then ask my mother to make up for a dowry? ”

Mrs. Qingpinghou: "......"

Who wants to make up a dowry?

We don't have the money to give you a dowry!

Even if you want to give it, it will be for your own son Qi Yunheng, who is about to marry!

However, when Shen Qingyu said this, Mrs. Qingping Marquis also understood: even if the Weiguo Mansion is rich and rivals the country, it has nothing to do with the Qingping Marquis Mansion.

After all, our family has never given a dowry, and we don't plan to make it up to them again.

As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Qingping became discouraged again.

She couldn't help but look at Qingping Hou.

Qingping Hou was a little stunned, obviously still immersed in the shock of Shen Qingyu's life experience.

"Master Hou...... Hou Ye? ”

Mrs. Qingping Hou shouted twice, and Qingping Hou came back to her senses, with a confused look: "Huh? ”

Ahh

Asking for money has nothing to do with you?!

Mrs. Qingping Hou resisted the urge to scold, and smiled at him with a soft (stiff) face: "I thought that the prince was married to a rural woman, and we didn't go to our hearts, but now I know that it is the only daughter of Wei Guogong, and I want to say that this is a great joy, and the ancestral hall should be opened and told to the ancestors!" ”

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice before, the prince did not come back, so why not take advantage of today to let the prince go to the ancestral hall to put incense on the pillar and tell the good news in front of the ancestors?"

Qingping Hou glanced at Qi Yunxiao, and nodded knowingly: "It's very deserved!" It should be! ”

Mrs. Qingping then called the housekeeper to prepare.

The housekeeper, who had already colluded with him, listened to the order and looked embarrassed: "Madam, have you forgotten?" After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family ...... They were robbed (pawned), and the gold and silver vessels used for the sacrifice were stolen...... This has to open an ancestral hall for sacrifice, and those gold and silver utensils have to be repurchased! ”

Mrs. Qingping Hou immediately looked abrupt: "Ouch...... Really...... I really forgot about it all at once. Xiao'er, you see, the family is now stretched thin, and there is not so much money to buy it again, I don't know if you ......"

Qingping Hou and his wife looked at Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu with blank eyes.

This is to recognize your lady's family status, and you still don't pay for it?!

Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of disdain: Qingping Hou and his wife, are they poor and crazy?!
