After eating, everyone dispersed, and Su Qinlan left Zhang Yuanxiu alone.

When only their mother and son were left, Su Qinlan asked anxiously: "Xiu'er, what is going on?" My mother had seen a small portrait of Miss Qi before, and she obviously didn't look like this. ”

As she spoke, Su Qinlan handed the portrait to Zhang Yuanxiu.

Zhang Yuanxiu opened it and saw that it was Qi Mingjiao.

"This is not the one sent by the Qi family?" When the Zhang family went to the Qi family to ask for their names, the Qi family gave them a small portrait of Qi Mingle. Zhang Yuanxiu remembered that there was Qi Mingle's birthday on it, but it was obviously not this pair.

Yun Pei hurriedly answered: "It's all to blame on the slave maid, when the small statue of the young lady was sent before, the little girl accidentally knocked over the tea cup and stained the painting, which was made by the slave and maid who went outside to find someone." ”

Mrs. Qi is still here, and the big house and the second room of the Qi family have not been separated. Qi Changhong has been in the border for many years, and the second room of the Qi family has lived in the general's mansion to show filial piety to Mrs. Qi. People outside who didn't know mistook Qi Mingjiao for the general's concubine.

"I see." Su Qinlan muttered, as if she was still digesting the matter.

Su Qinlan has always been weak, and after recognizing Qi Mingle, Zhang Yuanxiu saw the nervousness in the face of Qi Mingle. Zhang Yuanxiu knew that if she didn't untie the knot in her heart, she was afraid that she would have trouble sleeping for a long time.

Zhang Yuanxiu explained in a calm voice: "Now that she is married to me, as long as it is my wife for one day, you will be her mother-in-law for one day, so you don't need to be afraid of her." ”

After her husband was gone, Zhang Yuanxiu became Su Qinlan's backbone. Now hearing Zhang Yuanxiu say this, Su Qinlan is relieved.

After appeasing Su Qinlan, Zhang Yuanxiu was about to get up and leave. But before leaving, after thinking about it, he stopped and reminded: "Before this, you only met once, and she made a move to help you get back the jade pendant." You don't have to generalize and just make a conclusion about her. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuanxiu left.

"Yes, madam, the slave also thinks that what the eldest prince said is reasonable." Yun Pei also followed and persuaded, "There was a reason for the incident that day, and the slave and maid look at it today, the young lady seems to be a knowledgeable person, when you had dinner before, didn't the young lady take the initiative to give you vegetables?" ”

"How dare I ask her to give me cloth vegetables." Su Qinlan still had palpitations.

"It's your business to refuse, but the young lady's move is enough to show that she respects you."

"It seems to be." Under the guidance of Zhang Yuanxiu and Yun Pei, Su Qinlan's heart knot was slowly untied. After all, now that Qi Mingle is her daughter-in-law, it's not a matter of worrying about the past, Su Qinlan said, "The coming day is long, let's take a look." ”

And Qi Mingle didn't know about it, not long after she returned to the courtyard, Yinsui came over with a stack of papers: "Miss, look, this is your dowry list." ”

Qi's father's family background, Qi Mingle knows. Although over the years, His Majesty has rewarded a lot of things, but after layers of exploitation, there is not much in the hands of Father Qi, and he will distribute some more to the soldiers below, and there will be little left.

When he saw the dowry list, Qi Mingle suddenly gasped: "When did my father become so rich?" ”

"I have heard that these were the dowries of the lady. After the lady is gone, the general has kept them, intending to give them to you as a dowry! ”

Qi's mother went early, and Qi Mingle didn't have much impression of her, only vaguely remembering that her grandfather's family seemed to be in business.

"Where is my dowry now?" Qi Mingle asked.

Silver Spike looked at Cai He. Cai He said: "The young lady just passed the door yesterday, and now your dowry should still be in the treasury." ”

"Let's go to the storeroom."

It snowed last night, and it hasn't stopped yet, and everywhere you look, it's white.

Caihe led Qi Mingle to the warehouse, and the little maid who was in charge heard that Qi Mingle wanted to see her dowry, so he hurriedly opened the door of the warehouse, pointed to the outermost one, which was piled up with most of the house's things, and said, "Young lady, your dowry is all here." ”

Qi Mingle walked in. In addition to the title deeds of the shop grange that I saw earlier, everything from the red birth sacrifice of the dressing girl to the bed, table, chair, and cage is all included.

These were originally her mother's dowries, but now they came to her in the form of blood.

Hearing that Qi Mingle came here in the snow, the housekeeper thought that she was here to move the dowry, so he hurriedly brought a few servants over to ask for instructions: "Young lady, where do you want to store the dowry?" ”

The law of Jiang clearly stipulates that the woman's dowry belongs to the woman, and the husband's family has no right to interfere.

"Don't move, let it go first." She just wanted to see what her dowry looked like.

Steward: "......"

After reading it, when Qi Mingle walked back with the silver spike and lotus, her steps were brisk, she turned her head and asked them: "You say, am I also a rich person now?" ”

"Absolutely." Silver Spike said immediately. She hadn't seen so much silver before today!

Qi Mingle's dowry, compared with Zhang Yuanxiu's family business, is completely Niu Jiu and a dime, but Qi Mingle is their young wife, so Caihe is still very face-saving.

"Since we're rich, let's have a good meal in the afternoon."

"What to eat?" Silver Spike's face was full of excitement.

Qi Mingle looked heroic: "Pot." ”

Caihe: "......"

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Su Qinlan sent someone to say that it was cold and slippery in the snow, so Qi Mingle stayed in the courtyard to eat, and did not have to run back and forth to get cold. And Zhang Yuanxiu was urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty at noon, and before he returned, Qi Mingle ate a pot comfortably in the courtyard.

After eating, seeing that the snow outside had stopped, Qi Mingle took the maids to build snowmen in the courtyard to make ice sculptures, and had a lot of fun.

When Zhang Yuanxiu came back in the evening, he saw two more big snowmen in the courtyard. One look at the wild and unruly facial features, and you can see who this snowman came from.

Zhang Yuanxiu lifted the curtain and went in, but there was no Qi Mingle in the house.

"The young lady has gone to bathe." Caihe stepped forward.

Zhang Yuanxiu bowed his head, he didn't intend to stay here for a long time, so he said: "Wait for her to come out later, you can say ...... to her for me" Before the words fell, Qi Mingle had already walked out of it with slightly wet hair.

"What do you want me to say?" Qi Mingle asked.

After bathing, Qi Mingle only wore a bedroom coat, and his slightly damp black hair hung down, and soon wet a few parts of the clothes. Zhang Yuanxiu immediately looked away: "I'll accompany you back to the door tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow? Didn't you return to the door after three dynasties? ”

"There is an urgent report from Litang Pass, Rong Di is about to move, His Majesty has issued an order for his father-in-law to go to the town, and he will set off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." When they return tomorrow, the father and daughter will be able to stay a little longer.

When Qi Changhong chose a son-in-law for her, he said about it. Although Qi Mingle had been mentally prepared, when he suddenly heard the news, his expression was still visible to the naked eye.

"Okay, I got it." Qi Mingle drooped his eyebrows, got into bed silently, and lay in the innermost.

Zhang Yuanxiu, who originally planned to leave after speaking: "......"

"Childe, the water is ready." Cai He came to remind.

When Zhang Yuanxiu came out of the shower and changed clothes, most of the lanterns in the house were extinguished, the lotus and silver spikes had already receded, and the bed curtain was quiet.

Zhang Yuanxiu was silent for a moment, and was about to extinguish the lantern when Qi Mingle's voice suddenly came out: "Don't put it out." Zhang Yuanxiu paused his hand, and then put the lantern back again.

The curtain fell, and the two were lying on the same bed again.

Qi Mingle was facing inward, and Zhang Yuanxiu was lying flat with a good sleeping posture. The light in the bed curtain was dim, and none of them were asleep, but neither of them spoke, only the occasional sound of the wind outside.

After a while, Zhang Yuanxiu took the lead in speaking out: "Go to bed early, and I'll accompany you back tomorrow." ”

"yes, okay." Qi Ming was happy to respond.

The wind was still blowing outside, and from time to time there was the sound of snow falling to the ground. Zhang Yuanxiu couldn't sleep, so he was thinking about the political affairs discussed today. Just as I was thinking about it, my legs sank.

He turned his head and saw that Qi Mingle had fallen asleep for some reason, and at this time she was facing him with one leg still on top of him.

Zhang Yuanxiu: "......"
