Shen Qiuhe had a feeling of powerlessness. He tried to explain some truth to Mr. He, but it was obvious that Mr. He was unwilling to listen.

It was clear that simple right and wrong were right in front of him, but He was obviously not happy, and even said that he was blaming him.

Shen Qiuhe felt that it was even more troublesome than the prisoners in Dali Temple.

"Mother." But she still had to say something.

He called out in a low voice, "Today we will not care about right and wrong. Since my mother has made a decision regarding my sister-in-law, my son will not have any objections. I came here today to ask my mother if I have prepared the gift list." "

He then sat down again and said, "I've been sorting it out these past two days."

After the decision is made, it’s time to choose a date to get married.

"So, I want to take a look first." Shen Qiuhe directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Hearing this, Mrs. He's expression changed again, "Why, can I still handle this matter?" She suddenly slapped the table. Not to mention the Marquis's residence, even if the holy edict was placed here, she would have to suppress it. Put aside the dissatisfaction in my heart and organize the marriage beautifully.

Shen Qiuhe saw that Mr. He was losing his temper again, and frowned unconsciously, "Mom, you are overthinking. My son just wanted to take a look."

After all, he is getting married. Is it possible that he can't even see the wedding ceremony?

Mrs. He waved her hand and asked someone to take the gift list over, "Look, just look at it. If you have the ability, don't use me for anything. You can arrange your own marriage."

Shen Qiuhe pretended not to hear He's angry words. He picked up the gift list and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he closed the gift list and said, "Mother, my son thinks this should be added."

He's voice suddenly rose, "I knew you came here for something. How do you want to add to it? This is already my first share in the capital. Although Dading will spend a lot of money, I won't spend any money on the wedding. , don’t you spend money on banquets? And don’t spend money on daily life at home? Going a long way, don’t you have to save in advance for getting married in Chongyuan in the future? You are already thinking about money before you get married, and you still count on him after you get married. Do your uncles and aunts give Hua Yinzi a wife?"

Shen Qiuhe asked, and He had a basket of words waiting for Shen Qiuhe.

Shen Qiuhe stared blankly at He's hysterical shouting, "Mother, why are you so angry over such a trivial matter?"

He really couldn't understand. Isn't it just to add something? "Chongyuan, let alone me, even without me, wouldn't all the compensation from the Holy Emperor be saved for him? We haven't established a new prince, and the salary belongs to the elder brother. It has always been directly put into my sister-in-law's little treasury. In the past four years, I have been responsible for raising this family. Mother, even though I don't care about the house, I know how much stuff I should have. Now that I am getting married, what is wrong with taking out these things? ?”

Seeing Shen Qiuhe's questions, He suddenly shed tears, "What you are asking is heartbreaking. Do you still care about the money your brother exchanged for his life?"

After hearing this, Shen Qiuhe felt a headache. He was only using his own things, so how could he care about his brother's things?

He said timidly, "Because you were born late, I have been partial to you since you were a child. I will give you what your brother has, and I will leave it to you if your brother does not have mine. Even now, it is not easy for your sister-in-law. Because she will affect your career, I also embarrassed her in public, but now you are speaking like this, aren't you trying to tear out my heart?"

Shen Qiuhe held his head with his hands and couldn't even find anything to say. However, thinking of the gift list from the escort agency that was placed on the table today, Shen Qiuhe made up his mind.

He stood up slowly and said, "Mother is not happy today. I will come back another day. As for this ceremony, I won't bother mother anymore. I can take care of my own affairs."

"Shen Qiuhe!" Seeing that Shen Qiuhe was about to leave with the gift list, He shouted angrily from behind.

But looking at Shen Qiuhe, he didn't even stop. He sat slumped on the chair. Maybe Zheng was right, Shen Qiuhe was already fascinated by Qiao Guxin.

It's no wonder that she was born into a noble family and is now the head of a county. Not only is she filial, but her eyesight is so shallow that she is like a market woman, staring at the money without even covering up her shame.

He thought of Zheng again, but she still couldn't let him go for Shen Qiuhe. The palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, so naturally she cared about both of them. She could only say that she was pitiful for the parents in the world.

Shen Qiuhe had been in the warehouse and knew the family's wealth to some extent. He said that the Duke of East and West would be able to come up with it.

Shen Qiuhe was also very angry. How could it be his own fault to marry his future wife with his own money?

Immediately, he took people to the warehouse to pick out everything that needed to be added, and then asked people to move the prepared betrothal gift directly to his own yard.

"Master, why are you so angry?" After cleaning up, Wang Si asked in a low voice while adding charcoal to the fire.

Shen Qiuhe has always been filial, but recently he has lost his temper a lot.

Shen Qiuhe pinched his eyebrows, but he was a little unsure, and even felt a little distressed. He didn't know how Qiao Guxin could bear it back then.

Mr. He is sometimes unreasonable to his own son, let alone his daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, fortunately, the current Qiao Guxin has not experienced these things. Now it seems that maybe Qiao Guxin is quite good with thorns all over his body.

Shen Qiuhe picked up the book and said to himself, "I want to see the Lord of Guhe County."

Naturally, he picked up the pen on the table next to him, but when he thought about it, if he posted it seriously, Qiao Guxin would not see him.

Shen Qiuhe thought about it and felt that Zheng's method of guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion that day was a good one, so he immediately asked people from Wang Si's Dali Temple to keep an eye on him and report to him if Qiao went out unexpectedly.

At the Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Gu didn't know that something had happened to Chu Hanyin. After listening to the people below, Qiao Guxin handed over all her belongings to the escort agency. Many of them were gifts from others, and she immediately Call someone over to ask a few questions.

Naturally, Qiao couldn't explain his true feelings, he just smiled and tried to show off.

Qiao Wenqing knew it well, and after getting the news, he quickly came over to rescue Qiao Guxin, saying it was his idea.

Mrs. Gu looked at the two children who obviously had other reasons, and shook her head helplessly, "I don't care about you. Anyway, the family only has so much money. Whoever uses it up will be short of money in the future."

After saying this, Mrs. Gu said, "If I have time to mention it, I'd better mark it sideways when returning the things."

Although she didn't know the reason for giving so many things to the Chu family, Gu didn't think that Chu Hanyin would take advantage of the Marquis Mansion without any reason, and he would definitely have to pay it back.

It's just that these are all things used by the daughter's family, so why will it still be a problem when the time comes. After all, the two of them didn't succeed, so it's always unreasonable to give the girl's family a favor.

"Mother has thought carefully, and my son will definitely deliver the message." Qiao Wenqing responded quickly.

Seeing Qiao Wenqing's eager look, Mrs. Gu sighed helplessly, "That's it, you go get to work quickly."

Everything in the house has been saved for them, so they can use it as they like.

Originally, Mrs. Gu wanted to take advantage of the time when the Chinese New Year was approaching to let Qiao Guxin take charge of the business and master all these things, but she couldn't bear it when she came here. She couldn't see her daughter busy while she was idle there.

The feet do not touch the ground.

This may be the last year that Qiao Guxin spends in the Hou Mansion. She doesn't want her daughter to recall that the last year was nothing but busy.

People say that a loving mother often loses her son. She understands this truth, but understanding and being able to do it are two different things. She just wants Qiao Gu to feel at ease.

After coming out of Gu's courtyard, Qiao Wenqing patted his heart and said, "Sister, you are so brave." He was even frightened when he got the news.

Qiao Guxin pursed her lips and smiled softly, "But they are all external things, and there is nothing to care about."

Besides, these things are used to lead people to Chu Han, not to others. Can these things be lost?

Qiao Wenqing raised her hand and said, "Sister, if you are a man, you will definitely make a difference."

But he is more open-minded than this man.

Qiao Guxin smiled and said nothing. Looking back on all the things she had gone through in the past, she was also a noble girl in a boudoir, so she was not open-minded, but she had experienced too many things.

She was also afraid of dead people, but those people forced her to face it.

She was also afraid that people would look at her in crowded places, but those people had set the rules, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

She would also be filled with righteous indignation, and she would angrily want to speak out when something was unfair, but some people forced her to learn to be patient and think before she acts.

I chatted with Qiao Wenqing for a while. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, Qiao Wenbing is also resting at home. Qiao Wenqing would go and take a look every day when he had free time. He really made up his mind to make Qiao Wenbing a talent.

Seeing the two people working hard, Qiao Guxin smiled and said, maybe there will be a champion in the Hou Mansion.

Qiao Wenzhi is not very familiar with Qiao Guxin here. The main reason is that Feng Zhaoping is not familiar with the place in the capital and is restless. She always comes to the Hou Mansion to look for Qiao Wenzhi.

Qiao Wenzhi knew that Qiao Guxin did not like to join in the fun. After Feng Zhaoping came, she would mostly stay in her own yard.

So now, Qiao Guxin is at leisure.

Qiao Guxin took the rosary beads and chanted incense and walked around outside. Seeing that Mrs. Gu's face looked bad, Qiao Guxin went outside to buy a box of rouge.

Although it is cold now, as the New Year is approaching, all the houses are full of buyers, and the streets are very lively. Qiao Guxin's carriage can't move on the street, so Qiao Guxin has no choice but to get off the carriage.

There were more people now than in summer. When Qiao Gu calmed down, he immediately put on his curtain hat and covered himself tightly.

Nowadays, there are no classes in the schools, and the children are all over the streets. There are many clay figures and candied haws sellers around, and there are also some things that Qiao Guxin has never seen before.

Qiao Guxin walked back and forth, dazzled by what she saw, and finally picked out a rattle and bought it. Mrs. Hu was getting older that month, and when a nephew or niece was born in the future, she couldn't just give her a gold bracelet or a small gold lock, right?

After buying it, I went to the rouge shop to have a look.

There were more people in the shop than usual, but fortunately the shop owner also knew that it was closed this year and everyone was celebrating the holidays. Even if many women were reluctant to use it on weekdays, they still wanted to dress up during the New Year, so they prepared a lot of things.

When paying the money, he waited for a long time. Seeing so many people, it was like if he didn't buy something, it would be gone. Qiao Guxin simply went to pick out two more jade pendants for his two younger brothers. He also picked up a hairpin for Qiao Wenzhi. , waiting for the New Year to be festive and joyful.

When giving the money, the rosary was stopped by someone. When I looked up, it turned out to be Wang Si.

Rosary frowned slightly. Her temperament was not as easy-going as Nianxiang. Even though Wang Sichang was scary, she still scolded her harshly, "Where did you come from, scoundrel, so unreasonable!"

Just pretend that you didn't recognize the other person.

Wang Sigan laughed and said, "It was my master's order. This thing should be regarded as a gift from my master to the county master."

Rosary snorted, "Who is your master? He doesn't show any care when climbing the pole. Is our Marquis the one who lacks such a small amount of money?"

Wang Si could not quarrel with a little girl, so he immediately turned back to look at Shen Qiuhe.

When Shen Qiuhe went out on the street today, he didn't dress as exaggeratedly as he did on Laba Festival. His whole-length cotton gown looked neat. He walked straight to Qiao Guxin and said, "County Lord, you're fine!"

Qiao Guxin held the heater in her hand and looked at Shen Qiuhe through the gauze, "Master Shen is very leisurely."

Why!

Rosary watched Shen Qiuhe go to find Qiao's old love, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. In this moment of distraction, Wang Si had already rushed to pay the money. No matter how shrewd Rosary was, she was still a girl, and Wang Si The scary scar on Si's face made him feel scared for a long time. He didn't dare to challenge anyone, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Nianxiang gave the rosary a look and asked the rosary to come back.

Come to think of it, Qiao Guxin doesn't care about this, just three melons and two dates.

Shen Qiuhe smiled, raised his head and looked around, "Does the County Lord have anyone else to choose from?"

Qiao Guxin hugged the stove a little tight, because Shen Qiuhe couldn't see her face, so he raised the corners of his mouth politely and forced a smile, and then said indifferently, "I bought everything I should buy. , then I won’t bother Mr. Shen with your choice here.”

"I came here specifically to find the county lord. Since the county lord has finished his work, can we take a step to talk?" Shen Qiuhe said, and then raised his hand.

Qiao Guxin opened his mouth to refuse, but thinking that Dali Temple was also staring at the case of Juzi, he thought about it and nodded.

In this cold winter, Shen Qiuhe would definitely not sit in the pavilion with Qiao Guxin. The surroundings were lively and even the business of the teahouse was getting better. Fortunately, Shen Qiuhe asked Wang Si to send someone to make reservations in advance. location.

However, a lot of money was spent.

Qiao Guxin and Shen Qiuhe sat down. This elegant room was indeed nice. The incense was light and soothing. The heater next to it also had a unique artistic conception. The welcoming screen at the entrance made the four gentlemen even more elegant. It just separated the people below from the master. open.

Drinking tea has always been an elegant experience, especially when Shen Qiuhe's movements were smooth and flowing. Qiao Guxin also felt much calmer. At least when he took off his hat, he could still make his disgust disappear without a trace.

The tea was served in front of Qiao Guxin, and the faint fragrance of tea overflowed into his heart and lungs. "I still remember the first time my husband taught me how to taste tea. I really didn't understand the artistic conception of the sour lips and the fragrance between the teeth. Now it seems that it is probably... A state of mind.”

As your heart is, so is the tea.
