Qi Yuning saw Lu Baozhu with a simple face, but she was a little envious of her, she didn't have scheming or too much trouble on weekdays.

"Do you think about why King Xu didn't want the old cow to eat tender grass before, but at this time, he wanted the old cow to eat tender grass?"

Lu Baozhu said: "Previously, Wang Xu's aunt was not seriously ill, so he was naturally embarrassed to say that he wanted to marry Lu Baohua's side concubine, although he is also a side concubine, but now my Uncle Xu Wang is a strong candidate for the prince, and Baohua is very likely to be the queen in the future." ”

Qi Yuning said: "It's not that your Uncle Xu is a powerful candidate for the prince, so he came to Baohua to marry him as a side concubine, but Baohua married him, and your Uncle Xu Wang is the best candidate for the prince." ”

Lu Baozhu suddenly realized, "Also, our Lu family married Uncle Xu, and Uncle Xu is naturally more capable of competing for the position of prince than Uncle Shouwang, since Uncle Xu is using Baohua, why did the second uncle and second aunt let Lu Baohua marry?" ”

Qi Yuning said lightly: "Because this is a win-win situation, they also want to bet on whether the Lu family can produce a queen." ”

"Mother, aunt!"

Ling Ling combed her braids and came out, and threw herself straight at Qi Yuning.

Qi Yuning looked at Lingling combing her double bun today, with pink tassels hanging on it, which was very cute, hugged Lingling, touched her double bun and asked, "Where is Lingling going to play?" ”

Ling Ling said: "Ling Ling wants to take the second aunt to eat delicious food, but the second aunt is crying so uncomfortably. ”

Qi Yu would rather respond: "Then go to your second aunt first." ”

In a quiet small restaurant in the mansion of Lu Guogong, the three words of Xiangfeiju are written on the plaque above, and the green bamboo is planted inside.

Although the weather is cooler in September, the sun is still a little hot in recent days, and this green bamboo is quiet, so it will be a good place to live here in the summer.

Further inside, there are two podocarpus trees that are well pruned.

There are all kinds of orchids under the eaves of the courtyard corridor, and Shengjing City rarely raises orchids so well, especially those pots of black orchids.

The first time Qi Yuning came to Lu Baohua's courtyard, he couldn't help but admire: "This Baohua girl is really a wonderful person." ”

Lu Baozhu said: "What's so wonderful? ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly: "Meilan, bamboo, chrysanthemum, pine, the layout is staggered, very elegant, unlike some people's courtyards, either the red rose moon season, or the bright red camellia of the azalea, peony and peony, but the flowers are chaotic. ”

Lu Baozhu returned the spirit in his arms to Qi Yuning and said, "I won't help you hold the child, you can hold it yourself!" ”

Qi Yuning took Lingling and hugged him.

Inside the house, Lu Baohua looked at the straw dragonfly in her hand with tears in her eyes, she stroked the straw dragonfly, and bit her lower lip between her teeth.

"Girl, the county lord of Qi and the county lord of Baozhu are here."

Lu Baohua hid the straw dragonfly, and saw Lingling wearing a pink shirt and skirt inside.

Xiao Lingling threw herself into Lu Baohua's arms like a little pink butterfly, "Second aunt, are you still crying?" Don't cry, don't cry, Lingling will take you to eat delicious food! ”

Qi Yuning and Lu Baozhu entered, and Lu Baozhu saw Lu Baohua crying: "What are you crying about?" If you don't want to marry, I don't believe they can still tie you to marry? ”

Lu Baohua said in a low voice: "Marriage has always been the order of my parents, although they can't tie me with ropes, but the grace of my father's nurturing and filial piety to my grandmother is not an invisible chain that binds me, and I am only tied to accept my fate...... There is no other way. ”

Qi Yuning comforted softly: "There will be a way, as long as you say you don't want to, Lu Ze and I will help you." ”

Lu Baohua raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Thank you to the county lord, but will you offend King Xu in this way......"

Qi Yuning said: "I'm not afraid of offending King Xu, you haven't been back to Shengjing City for many days, it is in the autumn, presumably there are no new clothes in the autumn, let's go shopping on the street, and I will also buy a few more clothes for Lingling." ”

Lingling looks cute, Qi Yuning likes to change Lingling's clothes and wear, even if it is a day to change a set, it is not too much.

Ling Ling said happily: "I also buy beautiful clothes for my aunt and second aunt, as well as clothes for my little cousin and younger brother!" ”

Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Who is this younger brother?" ”

Lu Baozhu said: "The eldest young lady of the Zhong family was born prematurely, and she also gave birth to a son, which is Zhong You's younger brother, my mother didn't let Lingling touch her little cousin, so she went to play with her younger brother." ”

Qi Yuning smiled indifferently and said, "Zhong You has added a little brother, which is gratifying." ”

Lingling said: "Brother Ayou has a little brother, Lingling also wants a little brother and sister, my mother promised Lingling that she has a little brother and sister, but there is no one yet!" ”

Qi Yuning coaxed Lingling and said, "There will be soon, let's go, go buy new clothes." ”

Lu Baohua took the hot handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped his face, and followed them to Yunyi Pavilion without powder.

The Yunyi Pavilion has also been lively recently, and Shengjing City has gradually recovered its former prosperity, and there are a lot of good fabrics in the Yunyi Pavilion.

"Ahem."

"Mother, be careful."

Qi Yuning heard a cough, and when she looked back, it was Princess Xu and her eldest daughter, the eleven-year-old Lord Fang.

Lu Baozhu saw Princess Xu who came and saluted: "Uncle." ”

Qi Yuning and Lu Baohua also followed Fu Shen and saluted: "Princess Xu, Lord Fang." ”

Lord Fang looked at the little Lingling beside Qi Yuning, and said with a smile: "This is Cousin Ze's daughter Lingling, right?" It's so cute. ”

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "Lingling called uncle, grandmother and aunt. ”

"Auntie, aunt."

Princess Xu smiled faintly when she saw the well-behaved Lingling: "It's really a well-behaved good boy, ahem." ”

Qi Yuning saw that Princess Xu looked like she was really sick, and she didn't know if she really came here today by chance or on purpose.

Princess Xu looked at Lu Baohua and said: "Baohua, I haven't seen you for a while, in the past, when the prince held a poetry meeting and a book meeting, you always had a different color, just right, in a few days, the prince is going to hold a book meeting, just in the east of the city, at that time, the literati in Shengjing City will go, and the first monk you admire the most will also come, you must come." ”

When Lu Baohua heard the Xianchu monk, he remembered Zhong Ming and pursed his lips lightly.

Qi Yuning said: "Book club? The lord of this county is also interested, just to choose some good books for Lingling, Baohua, and go together when the time comes. ”

Lu Baohua nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Princess Xu took her daughter to pick out the fabric, and it seemed that she no longer greeted them.

"Mother, I think this fabric is suitable for Sister Rong, can I buy it for Sister Rong?"

Princess Xu touched her daughter's head and said: "Your sister Rong is not a good person, she rarely interacts with her, she is the only small county lord in the Jin Palace, and some people buy clothes and fabrics for her." ”

"Mother!" Lord Fang frowned and said, "How can Sister Rong not be a good person?" ”

Qi Yuning saw the helplessness and unease in Princess Xu's eyes, and thought that she really felt pity for her parents in the world.

After buying the fabric, she wandered around the street for a while, Lingling bought a lot of things and wanted to give to her little cousin and younger brother, Qi Yuning also let her choose, and then went to Qingshan Building to eat at noon.

Lu Baozhu said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten the roasted pigeon in Qingshan Tower!" ”

When the group entered the Qingshan Tower, Qi Yuning saw that the hall was bustling, and a group of literati gathered around a table and exclaimed again and again.

Lu Baozhu is a person who likes to join in the fun, and squeezed forward to see that it was a teenager writing poems, and retreated with interest.

Lu Baozhu said to Qi Yuning: "I thought there was a lot of excitement to see, it was a teenager who was showing off his literary talents, and his writing was not very good, and there was a burst of applause next to him!" ”

Lu Baozhu's voice was not low, and it happened to be heard by the young man.

Shen Jialin stood on the chair, obviously a little drunk, "Who dares to say that this son is a trick?!" ”

The spirit led by Qi Yuning saw Shen Jialin in front of him, and his eyes lit up, "Uncle Linlin." ”

Qi Yuning asked Lingling in a low voice, "Do you know him?" ”

Ling Ling nodded and said, "He is Uncle Linlin, Brother Han's uncle, and he has the same name as Ling Ling." ”

Qi Yuning thought, is Brother Han that Lingling is talking about Shen Nian's son Huang Han? Counting Shen Nian's son, he has to call Shen Jialin's uncle.

The people around Shen Jialin who were holding him said repeatedly: "Shen Gongzi, that's Lord Lu. ”

Shen Jialin drunkenly walked up to Lu Baozhu and said, "You say I'm showing? My words are not good? What good skills do you have to dare to say that I am a showman? ”

What Lu Baozhu hates most is this kind of literati who thinks highly of himself, and patted Lu Baohua on the shoulder, "The county lord doesn't have to show his ability, I will send my sister to suppress you, Baohua, go write a poem, let him see what it means to be truly talented." ”

When Lu Baohua was about to go, he saw Zhong Ming sitting on the table, his right hand was wrapped in a bandage, and Lu Baohua looked at Zhong Ming in front of him in a daze.

"Second aunt......" Qi Yuning covered Lingling's small mouth when Lingling was about to call out the word father. (End of chapter)
