Thinking of Patriarch Du's words of the bad old man, Xu Xiaoqin was a little uneasy.

Her brother Xu Da'an has been staring outside the Pingding Marquis Mansion and outside the lord's official office for a long time, but he still can't find a chance to answer the lord alone.

He is now noble, and he hugs him everywhere he goes, and there is no time to be alone outside.

There is a concubine document written by a lady in front of the clansmen, and she has given tea and all the gifts, and her name cannot be questioned.

Originally, she found the Pingding Marquis Mansion directly, who would dare to stop her?

But Patriarch Du's seemingly well-meaning words made her lose the courage.

If the lady is sent to live in the grange for a long time, and can only return home during the New Year's holidays, what will she do to fight with the Lu family?

is a serious Mrs. Hou, and there are concubines and generals behind her, and twisting her to death is the same as twisting an ant to death.

Even if she is very attractive and very loved by the old man, what can she do?

The hateful old man of the patriarch is the most capable of driving advantage and avoiding harm, he tried every possible way to draw a line with his wife, but he refused to send him to Beijing even though he had promised his wife, so she had to let his brother hire a carriage to escort him all the way.

It can be seen how bad Madame's situation is, she is Madame's person, don't be used as a punching bucket by the Lu family!

But the whole township knows that she is the concubine of the master, what can she do if she doesn't find the master?

Do you want to marry a rural village husband?

No, she can't hit a stone with an egg, and she can't retreat.

She is beautiful, gentle, and talented, and has an old relationship with the master, and she also knows the likes and dislikes of the master.

If you plan well, not only can you get the handsome and noble Ruyi Langjun, but you will not be able to run away from the glory and wealth of your life!

Xu Xiaoqin's heart was hot and decided to go out in person.

Du Zhiqian is talented, mild-tempered, handsome and chic, and very attentive to errands.

But Xungui and the ministers, especially the political enemies of the Lu family, still look down on him, and even target him everywhere, thinking that he has relied on nepotism to sit in a high position, and he actually has little ability.

Among the civil servants and middle- and lower-level officials, he is still relatively popular.

Some want to see a cold stove in advance on the unpredictable future of King Yan, and some want to catch up with Concubine Lu and General Lu in a roundabout way.

Some of them are purely like things, or they are in a similar situation to him, or they appreciate him as a person.

For example, Master Lang Zhongge of the Ministry of Industry is purely like-minded and makes friends, they all like poetry, calligraphy and painting, they all like to talk about the past and the present, they all like to drink tea more than wine, and they all like beauties with both talents and appearances, etc.

Both of them are beautiful men, and they have powerful wives at home, so they don't dare to drink flower wine at the invitation of their colleagues (occasionally they can), nor dare they take a beautiful concubine home, let alone have any confidantes.

There are also several people in the DPRK and China who are like-minded to them, and several of them have formed a small circle, and they can get together in their leisure time to relieve their boredom, which is much more comfortable than the false entertainment among colleagues.

Whenever this circle gathers, the level of conversation is deeper, and they don't like the presence of outsiders, and the fewer people there are, the more so.

Xu Da'an and Xu Xiaoqin observed for nearly a month before finding this opportunity.

Today, the three of them met at a restaurant where the magnates don't often go and the grade is not high enough, so they want to be quiet.

It's another night, and it's not easy to get noticed, but it's a good opportunity.

In order to make it easier, Xiaoqin carefully dressed up, chartered the box opposite Du Zhiqian, ordered a few exquisite refreshments, and asked for help.

Because he didn't order food seriously, in order not to attract the white eyes of the guy, he also rewarded the guy with a few dimes of silver.

There is no way, most of the money and concubines given by the lady were taken away by the father, and the silver given before leaving was not much.

Along the way, she spent a lot of money, and she never saw the main owner, everything in the capital is very expensive, as a woman who intends to rely on her beauty to gain a foothold, she can't eat and live badly, and she has to dress up brilliantly, and she is about to sit and eat empty.

Her young beauty and reward played a big role, and the guy couldn't help but not rush to order, but also covered in front of the boss, and allowed Xu Dajia to be the house slave of which guest to inquire about the situation in the aisle.

Halfway through the wine and food, Du Zhiqian went out to clean his hands as usual, there was no one in the backyard, and he slowly walked around among the flowers.

Thinking of Qingniang's complaint when she left this morning, I was a little depressed.

Why did Qingniang become very different from before after becoming her own daughter? Why are there so many trifles to face?

It's also strange that they can't help it, and after more than seven months of marriage, Qingniang gave birth to her daughter Baoyi.

Originally, they covered it up very well, and deliberately created the "accident" of Qingniang's premature birth in public, but they still couldn't resist the rumors in Beijing.

There are rumors everywhere that Baoyi is an adultererous child, saying that he and Qingniang were not innocent before they got married.

The Lu family and he used many means to suppress this matter, but they didn't find where the rumors came from, let alone expose the matter without mentioning it, everyone knew that Baoyi was a traitor.

was really angry with him, Qingniang also cried and made noise every day for this, and even the concubine Niangniang reprimanded him.

The emperor also had a prejudice against him because of this, feeling that he was inappropriate and tired of the reputation of King Yan, so he ignored him for a long time, and it was still the concubine Niangniang who was maneuvering around him, and his life was better.

Originally, the rumors gradually subsided, and life returned to normal, but Qingniang made her feel like she had fallen into a demon.

The whole person has become mean and stingy, unreasonable, and irritable, making him unhappy all day long, and he will no longer see his previous gentle, lovely, and simple appearance.

He can be blamed for the fact that Bao Yi was born in less than a month, isn't Qingniang also confused and obsessed that day?

Besides, Baoyi's child is a few months old, so many nurses take care of her, and she always says that it is too hard to take care of the child, and she thinks that he always wants to hide and relax, and she doesn't know how to accompany her and the child.

He patiently accompanied her and the child, and she found all kinds of faults, saying that his mind was not on his mother and daughter.

As long as he stayed in the study for a while, Qingniang suspected that she disliked her for being less literate and talented, and that she didn't know how to be elegant, and suspected that he was thinking about other women (mainly Wanyun).

Then all kinds of suspicions played with temper, and he began to think that it was cute and interesting, and gradually lost patience after coaxing too much.

There are so many trivial things in the court and the yamen every day, and he has to deal with countless guns and arrows, and he is physically and mentally exhausted when he goes home.

He just wants to change into loose home-style clothes, eat a delicious meal, and then burn incense and make tea under the trellis in the study or courtyard, taste poetry and paintings, or ask someone to play and play the piano and talk about the world, and enjoy the most relaxing and comfortable time of the day.

He has seen enough of his face during the day, he doesn't want to go home at all and have to go to great lengths to accompany and coax people, occasionally it is a little fun between husband and wife, and he can't stand it every day.

He didn't want to ask so many annoying trivial things, and he didn't know where Qingniang got so many complaints and such a big temper?

Isn't it her duty to manage the Hou Mansion as Mrs. Hou? Does the Hou Mansion raise so many stewards and slaves to eat idle food?

Glory and wealth, brocade clothes and jade food, slaves and maids, he didn't dislike her to get a daughter in one fell swoop, what else is there to complain about?
