Chapter two hundred and fifty seventh
In the past, Shen Qiuhe would not have been worried, but now his waist pain is really severe. This man really needs to pay attention to his injured waist.
He didn't feel at ease if he asked the doctor to take his pulse.
Seeing that Shen Qiuhe was nodding, Wang Si became even more enthusiastic and his voice couldn't help raising his voice, "That's right. If you really can't do it, you are still pestering the young lady like this. Isn't this a waste of time? ?”
Qiao Guxin is still as young as a flower. Is it like a human being to be left a widow for so many years?
Qiao Guxin had already walked outside the door. She could hear the words inside clearly. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment. When she stepped back anxiously, she turned around and stepped on the hem of her skirt. She stumbled and passed out. There's movement.
As soon as Wang Si heard the noise in the yard, he jumped up to the window. When he saw that it was Qiao Guxin, he burst into laughter and said to Shen Qiuhe, "Master, I'll step back first."
With that said, even the people serving Shen Qiuhe were dragged away.
Shen Qiuhe was so noisy that he stood as straight as a stick in the hall.
When Wang Si went out, he did not forget to say to Qiao Guxin, "The master is waiting for the young lady inside."
Qiao Guxin smoothed her hair unnaturally and pretended not to hear.
After entering the door, watching Shen Qiuhe move awkwardly, he naturally thought about what Wang Si said.
I just sigh that Shen Qiuhe is really pitiful at such a young age.
"Sit down." Seeing that Qiao Guxin was silent and her eyes were full of pity, Shen Qiuhe greeted the eighteenth generation of Wang Si's ancestors in his heart.
Qiao Guxin looked away unnaturally, "The Zhou family has sent a message. We are going to a banquet tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
After saying what he was thinking, he added naturally, "Going to see a doctor now won't delay you anything."
Shen Qiuhe was still thinking, was Qiao Guxin inviting him? Before he had time to rejoice, he listened to what Qiao Guxin added later, and his face instantly darkened, and he snorted angrily, "It's nothing." I won’t send it to you.”
Let Qiao Guxin leave quickly to avoid looking bad.
Qiao Guxin didn't expect that Shen Qiuhe would still chase her. He stood up from the chair suddenly, flicked his sleeves and left directly.
Shen Qiuhe pursed his lips tightly and looked down at his waist. At this moment, he just felt that it would be nice if there was a seam in the ground.
Early the next morning, Qiao Guxin packed up everything.
Originally, the Zhou family also sent a message to Qiao Wenzhi, but last night the Hou Mansion sent news, saying that Qiao Wenzhi accompanied her second aunt to the temple to pray for Feng Zhaoan yesterday, and maybe she caught a cold on the mountain and felt uncomfortable all over. I can't go to the banquet.
Qiao Wenzhi has always been unwilling to cause trouble to others. If she can take the initiative to say she is not feeling well, she must be seriously ill.
Qiao Guxin asked her to go back and take a look at the beads, and she took the incense to the Zhou family for a banquet.
Waiting for tomorrow to be free, she would go back to the Hou Mansion in person.
Because of the hot weather, Qiao Guxin wore a light green dress today, which made her look cooler.
Her hair was also tied up high, revealing her smooth neck. However, she wore long tassel earrings, which would not make her look less dignified.
When Qiao Guxin went out, Shen Qiuhe was already waiting at the door.
Although it was hot, Shen Qiuhe still wore a long gown with a stand-up collar. Because of his bad waist, he was sitting on a wheelbarrow at the moment.
This dress looks energetic, even when sitting, there is still momentum.
The white jade crown that binds her hair echoes Qiao Guxin's tassel earrings.
When Shen Qiuhe saw Qiao Guxin, a smile naturally appeared in his eyes. He was supposed to take the quiet route, but he was pulled into the mortal world.
Qiao Guxin glanced at Shen Qiuhe indifferently, then quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and asked someone to help him get into the carriage.
It was rare that Shen Qiuhe came here for once, not shamelessly.
Shen Qiuhe got on the carriage and saw a few pieces of melon on the table. He didn't know what to say, so he thought of giving a piece of melon to Qiao Guxin as a way to express his apology for expelling him yesterday.
It's just that the wheelbarrow he was sitting on was too high, and he couldn't reach it even after stretching out his hands several times.
He turned his head to look at Qiao Guxin, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and could only retract his hand in a nonchalant manner.
Otherwise, if Qiao Guxin saw him waving around randomly without anyone helping him, he would be too depressed.
Hearing that there was no movement in front of him, Qiao Guxin slowly narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.
Then he quickly restrained himself. Shen Qiuhe was in a high position at such a young age. What a privilege. Now, if he wants to get a piece of melon, he has to look at the mood of others. This is probably what he deserves!
Although the Zhou family mainly entertained the female family members today, there were also many people who came with the female family members, so there were also people at the men's table to receive them.
After entering the gate of Zhou Mansion, the two of them separated.
Because Shen Qiuhe had difficulty moving, Wang Si stayed with him.
"We girls have been waiting for Madam for a long time." Auntie welcomed Qiao Guxin in with a smile.
Perhaps it was Zhou Ming, who had already given the order.
After thanking his mother-in-law, Qiao Guxin moved forward.
The Zhou family can't compare to the Duke's Mansion. Although the courtyard is large, it has few furnishings and can only be called spacious.
Moreover, military commanders are not as particular as civil servants, so the buildings around them are only useful.
Even the trees on the road are poplars, which are said to be tall enough to provide shade and not easy to die.
This nanny didn’t feel embarrassed at all. When she talked to Qiao Guxin, she seemed to agree from the bottom of her heart. She even mentioned that every spring, you can eat these poplar leaves. This is what you want to be the head of the family. These few in the yard Even one poplar tree is not enough for the master to eat, and he is planning to transplant some more next year.
"The Zhou family has a big yard, and I can see that the roadside can really be moved a little further." Qiao Gu always wanted to agree, but it was really hard to say. There is a style to raising poplar trees in the yard, so we can only discuss it on a case-by-case basis and avoid it. Topics that shouldn't be brought up.
The nanny obviously didn't see the embarrassment in Qiao Guxin's face, and she nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Qiao Guxin said made sense.
Seeing Grandma like this, Qiao Guxin was really afraid that she would tell her superiors about planting poplar trees all over the yard. Then he covered his mouth and coughed twice, "Fengqi Wutong, now that the Zhou family has a crown princess, you want me to tell you, with This sycamore matches well."
After hearing what Qiao Guxin said, grandma thought about it very seriously, then raised her head and looked at Qiao Guxin, "Mrs. Shen, is this sycamore tree easy to care for?"
Qiao Guxin was stunned for a moment. She was really stunned by the question. She turned around and glanced at Nianxiang. Nianxiang understood and quickly took a few steps forward. "Don't worry, grandma, the sycamore tree is not difficult to grow and will bloom in the spring. The light fragrance is pleasant and it is planted in many places."
In an ordinary aristocratic family, when someone in the family enters the palace, they will definitely plant sycamore trees. They hope that they will have more concubines to maintain the family's glory.
Now Zhou Ming is going to be the Crown Princess, and if everything goes well, she will be the Queen and the Queen Mother in the future. It will not be difficult for her mother's family to produce a few more concubines.
After receiving Nianxiang's affirmation, Mammy's eyebrows were filled with smiles, "I will report to my mistress later that this sycamore tree is very auspicious."
Talking and laughing, we soon arrived at the banquet hosted by Zhou Ming.
Several noble ladies were already sitting in front of Zhou Ming. As soon as Qiao Guxin came in, Zhou Ming waved to Qiao Guxin and said, "Mrs. Shen, come and sit in front of me."
Before rescuing the queen, few of the noble ladies had paid attention to Zhou Ming. In addition, Zhou Ming was a family member of a military commander and was not used to such promises. He just felt like talking to these noble ladies would make his head explode.
When I lived with Qiao Guxin in the past, I felt that Qiao Guxin was a bit literary and not straightforward in his speech. This contrast made Qiao Guxin really good.
Now, when I see Qiao Guxin, I don't care about the face of others. My whole heart is filled with Qiao Guxin.
Qiao Guxin nodded in greeting to both sides, and then sat in front of Zhou Ming.
Today, Zhou Ming is not wearing the same fancy clothes as before. She wears a chest-length skirt like an ordinary noble girl. The steps on her head are swaying slightly, which makes her appear somewhat graceful.
After Qiao Guxin sat down, Zhou Ming turned her head and asked, "What's wrong with Wen Zhi? Why did she suddenly become ill?"
Knowing that Qiao Wenzhi could not come, Zhou Ming specially sent someone to visit the Hou Mansion.
"It's because of the cold, I think it'll be fine in two days." Qiao Guxin just found out about it, and he didn't have time to see it in person. At this moment, he was just guessing.
Zhou Ming couldn't help but want to support her head with her hands. Perhaps thinking of her grandma's teachings, she immediately put her hands down and sat upright.
Qiao Guxin clearly heard Zhou Ming's long sigh.
The eagle that was supposed to be soaring in the sky now seemed to be locked in a cage, which must have made her feel unhappy.
But in everyone's eyes, the birth of a crown princess in the Zhou family is a great joy that smokes on the ancestor's grave, and deserves their grateful thanks for the emperor's kindness.
Zhou Ming really didn't want to hear the compliments from the side, so she moved her body towards Qiao Guxin and said, "If you are free tomorrow, let's go visit Wen Zhi together."
"Of course." Qiao Gu nodded without thinking.
"I didn't expect that Sister Zhou and Mrs. Shen would get along so well." The two lowered their heads and whispered. Not wanting Feng Hongye to come in, they raised their voices to challenge, "What are you talking about? You can't talk to us together?"
She was injured in the palace, and now she is well enough to attend the banquet.
Her head was still raised as before, but the way the people on the left and right looked at her made people think deeply.
After all, Feng Hongye's shameless deeds had spread all over the capital.
Zhou Ming frowned unconsciously, "Miss Feng, please sit down. Seeing that Miss Feng's face is as usual, I think she is feeling better."
As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, some of the girls on the left and right couldn't help but chuckle.
Even though he covered his mouth, the sound could still be heard.
Feng Hongye glared over coldly. After all, the Feng family's majesty was here, and the girls quickly stopped smiling.
Feng Hongye raised his head slightly, looked at Qiao Guxin coldly, and then twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile on his face, "Thank you sister Zhou for your concern, my health will definitely get better, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing for those who are looking forward to my death?" Good people, proud?"
Putting his hand on the table in front of him, he picked up the tea, then put it down heavily, and kicked the girl aside fiercely, "Smile, what's so funny about you, it doesn't matter if I have a crush on Chu Hanyin, the Holy Father didn't say anything about me Wrong, what qualifications do you have to laugh at this joke?"
