Nianxiang frowned as she listened, "Girl, does Master Shen have some hidden agenda?"

This Shen Qiuhe did not please the Gu family. Although the two families were not considered to be enemies, they did not have much friendship. Suddenly, the gang always felt that something was fishy.

Originally, this matter was handled well, but Shen Qiuhe suddenly appeared on the way. Qiao Guxin rubbed his eyebrows irritably, feeling that this behavior was indeed unreasonable, "Maybe there happened to be a case in Dali Temple involving the Ministry of Household Affairs. ."

So, comfort yourself.

The next day, Qiao Guxin learned that the news about Jing Zhaoyin's visit to the House of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was spread yesterday. Naturally, everyone knew about Mr. Jie's behavior in the Imperial Academy. The writing on the Yushitai was written overnight. After reading the book, he angrily rebuked the minister of household affairs for his incompetence in teaching his son.

It has become a joke in the capital. People who are about to get married are still trying to find a way to pretend to be sick, and let their family members come forward. Even the rough people in the city will not do such a thing.

Feng Zhaoan was a man of few words but could write well, so this kind of thing naturally fell on him.

Feng Zhaoan later sent someone to ask Qiao Wenzhi. When he heard that the Minister of Hubu had set his sights on the Qiao family, he said it very rudely, as if he had a grudge against the Minister of Hubu.

Qiao Wenqing didn't participate this time, but the more silent he became, the more superior he became to the comparison. They were originally classmates, one was already the number one scholar in the court, and the other only knew how to get into trouble and let his family wipe his ass. .

It is said that the shy Minister of Household Affairs did not even dare to raise his head when he went to court.

The days when the Hou Mansion was bullied have passed. How can the current Hou Mansion be provoked by ordinary people?

At noon that day, after Shen Qiuhe finished drinking the medicine, Wang Si asked someone to add more charcoal to the stove, "Master, the matter in the Hou Mansion is not a big deal, so why do you bother to come forward in person?"

As soon as the fever subsided, Shen Qiuhe went out to run errands. He was already busy with matters at Dali Temple, and he was also busy with the affairs of the Marquis Mansion. He had no time for the past two days. Now he is still coughing badly. How can he be so careless? own body.

"Will the post from the Marquis Mansion be tomorrow?" Shen Qiuhe pretended not to have heard Wang Si's words and just asked casually.

Wang Si nodded.

On the surface, the Hou Mansion said it was holding a banquet, but in fact it was just to meet the two elders of the Feng family. It was said that the Gu family would also go there tomorrow, probably because of the imperial edict, so they did not miss the Duke's Mansion this time.

Shen Qiuhe stretched out his hand, remembering that his mother wouldn't let him eat the candied fruit, and swallowed it again.

He didn't know what kind of medicine the doctor prescribed. It was sour and bitter. Shen Qiuhe reminded himself over and over again that he was a man. If he didn't drink this medicine, he would vomit it out.

While the two were talking, the person below reported that it was Miss Yin who had brought pear paste.

Shen Qiuhe had a severe cough, and everyone in the house knew that drinking this rock sugar and snow pear ointment soaked in water would somewhat relieve the cough.

Shen Qiuhe waved his hand impatiently, "Let her go!"

There was no one in Zheng's family anymore. A distant relative came the day before yesterday. I don't know how late it was, and I didn't know how to talk about seniority, so I called her Miss Yin.

It is said that they met on the road. This girl Yin met the thief and was rescued by Zheng. When she took her home, she looked more and more familiar. After asking carefully, she found out that she was from the same clan. This girl Yin was also a Unfortunately, she was the only one in the family and had to do embroidery to support herself. Mrs. Zheng was so distressed that she took him in immediately.

As for what kind of thief she met, Mrs. Zheng kept it vague and the government didn't know. She only said that she could meet noble people just by walking.

Mrs. Zheng didn't have any relatives, so Mrs. He agreed when she met such a pitiful person.

What was Mrs. Zheng thinking? Shen Qiuhe's heart was as bright as a mirror. As soon as Miss Yin entered the house, Shen Qiuhe said hello and walked out. She didn't even have to pay tribute to Mrs. He these two days.

Shen Qiuhe could tell the other person to go away, but Wang Si couldn't say that, so he could only use the government doctor to send him away.

But when he came in, Wang Si clicked his tongue twice, "Don't say that Miss Yin is very delicate, but she is a virtuous and polite person."

Only when Wang Si dealt with it did he realize that it was Mrs. Zheng who had arranged for Miss Yin to deliver the things. When Wang Si made excuses like this, they immediately understood and ran out with their heads lowered.

Those big eyes were full of tears, and they were shy about speaking, really vividly expressing the sadness of being dependent on someone else.

There were only three words in Wang Si's mind at that time, "Poor man."

Shen Qiuhe slammed the table, "If you don't want to serve me, you can continue to say such things!"

Wang Si was used to talking nonsense in front of Shen Qiuhe, but now seeing Shen Qiuhe scolding him so coldly, he immediately got excited and knelt down quickly, "Master, calm down!"

Shen Qiuhe snorted coldly, "You have to remember that the marriage between County Lord Guhe and me was granted by the Holy Father!"

It is impossible to change in this life.

Wang Si quickly lowered his head and said, "It was a little trespass."

Shen Qiuhe waved his hands impatiently. He originally wanted to ask Wang Si to help him see what kind of clothes he should wear tomorrow, but now it was useless.

Covering his mouth to hold back the cough, he looked through his clothes.

Of course he wouldn't have cared about this in the past, but now he seemed to have an old quarrel with Qiao, and the elders of the two families were also unhappy, so he thought it was just for courtesy, so he had to prepare properly.

He didn't want to see the Marquis Mansion, but with the holy edict still there, he had to save his face, so he had an early breakfast and set off.

When going out, Mrs. Zheng took Miss Yin with her. Because Shen Qiuhe came out later, everyone except Mr. He was waiting outside the carriage.

The moment Shen Qiuhe went out, Miss Yin felt her heart beating so hard for no reason.

It was just a quick meeting last time, and she didn't dare to take a closer look at Shen Qiuhe in official uniform, so she could see clearly today.

What does it mean to look like Pan An, and what does it mean to look like a jade tree facing the wind, it is probably only fitting that it is Shen Qiuhe.

However, remembering that there was something in Wang Si's words yesterday, she always stood behind Zheng and said nothing.

Mrs. Zheng's face darkened slightly when she saw Shen Qiuhe. When someone came closer, she suppressed a smile and said, "To put it bluntly, I feel like I have a daughter growing up in my family."

"Sister-in-law is joking." Shen Qiuhe crossed his fists and didn't look away the whole time.

Mrs. Zheng was unhappy and didn't say much. After saying hello to Shen Qiuhe, she led Miss Yin into the carriage.

When there was no one around, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but muttered, "In the future, you will have better eyes and a sweeter mouth, so that you won't call anyone when you see me?"

Miss Yin immediately lowered her head and said, "Sister, I will definitely say hello to Mr. Shen next time."

Mrs. Zheng nodded, "If I tell you, you can serve some snacks yourself."

On the other hand, the two elders of the Feng family had only been in the capital for three days, and they had not yet rested from traveling on the road. However, the marriage of the two children was a big event, so they had to get up before dawn.

Mrs. Chu was afraid that her brother would not know what to bring when he came to the capital for the first time, so he had someone bring him a gift yesterday.

In addition to the specialties brought by the two elders of the Feng family from Luncheng, there are all kinds of things that add up to a lot.

Although I had sorted it out yesterday, the second boss was worried that something might be rude, so he checked it again with a lantern before he felt at ease.

If we don't want to go with the Chu family, the two parents want to go out at Mao Shi, so they can't go late, just like waiting for a banquet.

After packing up, let the people below watch from outside. As soon as the Chu family's carriage arrived, they immediately packed up and went out.

This marriage was proposed by Mrs. Chu, and she was interested in it, especially since her son almost ended up with Qiao Guxin. No one expected the marriage from the Holy One, but the Hou Mansion did not think that the Chu family was low-ranking. It can be seen that

Mr. Gu is an unworldly person, and he really comes from a scholarly family, which is admirable.

So, pay attention to everything.

Mrs. Gu also didn't expect that the second elder of the Feng family would arrive so quickly. As soon as they welcomed the Gu family in, before they could even sit down, news came over there that a guest had arrived.

Mrs. Gu quickly went out to greet her.

"Mrs. Hou." After meeting the Gu family, the two elders of the Feng family immediately asked for a courtesy.

Mrs. Gu quickly asked the people on her left and right to stop her, "We are having a family dinner today, so there is no need to be so formal." Then she made a gesture of invitation.

Marquis Ning Shun was not at home, and the Gu family was in charge of both the inside and outside of the Marquis' mansion. Although the Gu family were also guests, they were still members of the family, and they hurried in when they saw others coming in.

Feng Zhaoan also recognized them all and introduced them one by one with Father Feng.

Father Feng has stayed in Laucheng for most of his life. When Mrs. Chu got married, he came to see her off.

But the people of the Chu family were definitely not that noble. Listening to the fact that they were ministers and their main father was the prime minister, I was so nervous that I didn’t know how to let go.

"Brother, don't be cautious." Mrs. Chu laughed beside her. They are both very good people.

"The road to the city is as long as it is cold today, and it's bumpy all the way. I hope you two won't care about what I'm saying." The old lady is very sick there. Even if the imperial doctor invited by the Gu family comes, no one can cure her heart ailments. Now every day

He was taking medicine every day, and he didn't have much energy, so he didn't come over, so it was Gu who was sitting in the main seat at the moment.

"What you said is serious. We were supposed to meet you, but we came late." Father Feng quickly raised his fists and replied.

Mrs. Gu also saw that the two elders of the Feng family couldn't let go, and then she waved the children in, "This is the old intention of the eldest daughter, the second girl Wen Zhi, and my unfilial son Wen Qing."

Because Qiao Guxin was the head of the county and Qiao Wenqing was the number one scholar, it was difficult for the same commoner to greet them in a formal manner, so they only greeted them with a slight forehead.

Only Qiao Wenzhi knelt down and blessed her in a serious way.

"The three children are all the best among men." Father Feng nodded repeatedly, looking at the people in this capital who were different, each one showed off his grandeur.

If I hadn't written a letter to inform them in advance, I would never dare to say that my daughter-in-law would be there if I met such a person on the street.

Feng's mother looked directly at Qiao Wenzhi, with a smile on her face and nodding her head.

"There is a fourth son in the family. He just enrolled in Imperial College this year. It will take another three to five days before he can come back." After the three children had seen the ceremony, Mrs. Gu mentioned Qiao Wenbing again.

"It's amazing, it's all amazing." Feng's father praised him repeatedly. He was considered to be knowledgeable in the city, and his son was surrounded by people who fawned over him when he won the lottery. Only when he got here did he know what a real scholarly family is.

No. .

After the two parties finished speaking, they separated, and the female guest went to sit in the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Zhang was accompanying the guest and talking to Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Chu.

"It's been a while since Han Yin was gone, but have you sent a message home?" The women would sit together and always chat about home affairs. Although Chu Han Yin was not destined to be his son-in-law, he was still Qiao Wenqing's classmate and friend.

, I always ask.

"I have replied to several letters. Yesterday I was talking to his father. He is just a child. He has to go out to do important things. How can he achieve a great career by just thinking about home?" Mrs. Chu shook her head helplessly.

Mrs. Zhang peeled an orange and held it in her hand, "Master Chu is very motivated. If he comes back with meritorious service this time, he will be promoted to a higher position."

Mrs. Chu laughed loudly, "It's good if he doesn't cause trouble. I don't have any hope."
