Snowflakes started to fall in the sky again, and the footprints on the street were slowly covered, and soon they were stepped on by pedestrians again.
After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Nuodiao went back to Xu Mansion to find Ms. Lu.
"Why don't you wear a cloak?" Mrs. Lu was doing needlework. When she saw Xu Nuo coming in, she put the things in her hands aside, took out the handkerchief and held it in her hand.
"Mom, doesn't my child miss you so much?" Xu Nuo toasted himself by the fire before sitting down next to Lu with a smile.
If Lu's illness has lasted two times, he should not be exposed to cold air.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "You kid, where did you learn that glib tongue?" Mrs. Lu took a handkerchief to help Xu Nuo wipe the water droplets on her head and shoulders, smiling with satisfaction.
Of her three children, the eldest son looks suave and very glamorous, but in fact he is an honest child. He never speaks nice words and everything that is on his mind is written on his face. The younger son is the opposite of the eldest son, hiding all his emotions. In my heart, I speak very little, never letting her worry, and naturally I don't know how to say nice things; only this daughter is the best at coaxing people, and she will say nice things casually.
The children have different personalities, but they all do things in a measured way. As a mother, she is actually more relaxed than other ladies.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. It's cold outside these days. Please wear thicker clothes when you go out." Xu Nuo said.
"Your father has to tell me sooner or later. It makes my ears go numb. Now you are telling me, do you really think that your mother is a child who doesn't know how to be hungry and cold?" Mrs. Lu said, covering her hands with Xu Nuo's cold Got red ears.
The two were half an arm apart, Xu Nuo put his arms around Lu and asked, "Do you know some things about Qian Guogong's family? For example, Concubine Sun, Concubine Huang..."
Lu didn't expect Xu Nuo to ask about this, but as she grew up in Bianjing, she happened to know this very well, so she told Xu Nuo clearly.
The sky turned from dull white to completely dark, and before we knew it, it was time for dinner.
"Mom, did you know that Aunt Twenty-One has an eighteen-year-old nephew?" Xu Nuo asked.
Mrs. Lu nodded and said: "He is well-known. He is the tenth husband of the Qian family and Huang Fei's favorite great-great-grandson. He was born in Hangzhou, but since Huang Fei's death, he has lived in Bianjing. I heard from your twenty-one aunt that this child has not been back to Hangzhou for two years."
"Mom, do you know what he looks like?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Liu Niang, didn't we meet him on Mrs. Sun's birthday? Your aunt twenty-one also said that he has a hard body..."
Xu Nuo suddenly froze, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
At this moment, she realized that she had seen this Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao's face appeared in his mind, which was exactly the same as the profile he saw at the side door this morning.
No wonder she always thought that man looked familiar.
It turned out to be Qian Zhao, it turned out to be Qian Zhao!
He actually lied to Chuntang that he was his servant!
Xu Nuo absent-mindedly had dinner with Lu, and fell asleep without saying anything after returning to Mingjin Pavilion.
The next day, I went to the Duke's Mansion to find the twenty-first lady, saying she was here to enjoy the snowy plum blossoms.
Twenty-one Niang had guests to entertain, so she arranged for a maid to accompany Xu Nuo.
While appreciating the plum blossoms, Xu Nuo asked her maid about the situation in the Duke's Mansion. After figuring out Qian Zhao's residence, she said, "Let's go shopping there again."
Her face was red from the cold, and she breathed with her hands in front of her mouth, looking careless.
"Ms. Xu Liu, if you go over there, you'll find the front yard. It's not convenient for us to go there." The maid said respectfully.
The maid was present when Xu Nuo defeated Twenty-One Niangs on the chessboard last time, so she showed more respect to Xu Nuo than to other ladies.
"I'm just walking outside, not going inside, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, it's cold now, so there aren't many people around." Xu Nuo raised his eyebrows and continued walking forward.
The maid stood there and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Xu Nuo walking further and further away, she stamped her feet and followed quickly, holding up her skirt.
Soon, they arrived near Qian Zhao's residence.
There, Xu Nuo saw several young people sitting together, making wine, talking and laughing, and the leader was Qian Zhao. His gorgeous clothes made him extremely noble. He had the same appearance as the man in black she saw yesterday, but his temperament was somewhat different.
When I saw him yesterday, he was very peaceful, like an ordinary man. But today, his every move and gesture showed nobility.
Xu Nuo's eyes were filled with anger, and he wanted to go forward and punch him twice.
Just when she was about to go forward, the maid hurriedly said: "Ms. Xu Liu, the husband of the mansion lives in the front yard. You can't go any further." The maid also saw Qian Zhao and the others. If you guys find out that she has come here with a female guest and disturbs their conversation, you will inevitably be scolded and your wife will be hurt.
Seeing that the maid looked embarrassed, Xu Nuo stared at Qian Zhao for a moment and then said to the maid, "Okay, let's go back."
After coming out of the Duke's Mansion, Xu Nuo kept a dark face and did not go to Lu's place for dinner.
She did not tell Chuntang what she saw in the Duke's Mansion. However, after Chuntang helped her wash up, he knelt down in front of the couch and asked with lowered eyes: "Madam, does he have a wife? Don't do it for me." If you're angry, I won't be sad, and I won't see her again. Just think that I did something stupid, and you can punish me."
After speaking, tears fell directly from his eyes to the ground.
Looking at the wet marks on the ground, Xu Nuo's heart was filled with congestion.
She hugged Chun Tang and said, "I will find you a man who is a thousand times better than him."
Regarding Qian Zhao, she didn't know how to talk to Chuntang.
If Qian Zhao is really a young man, and he really has a wife, and if Chuntang wants to marry him, she can become a villain and use some means to force Qian Zhao to divorce his wife, and then marry Chuntang.
But the real situation is that Qian Zhao and Chuntang's identities are completely inconsistent.
Although Qian Zhao was not Concubine Sun's great-great-grandson, he was Concubine Huang's most beloved great-great-grandson.
Qian Hongchu built Leifeng Pagoda for Concubine Huang, which fully illustrates her importance to Qian Hongchu and her status in the Qian family.
Her heirs also hold a very important position in the Qian family.
This is a gap that is difficult to cross.
With Chuntang's current status, she was not even qualified to be Qian Zhao's concubine, and she would never allow Chuntang to be a concubine.
No matter what the purpose of Qian Zhao's contact with Chuntang, and the reason why he concealed his identity from Chuntang, unless he was willing to give up his identity as a descendant of the Qian family and leave the Qian family, there would be no chance of a relationship between the two of them. .
A few days later, Qian Zhao waited for her at Chuntang's shop as promised, but instead of waiting for Chuntang, he received Xu Xu.
Qian Zhao knew Xu Nuo. Looking at Xu Nuo coming towards him, he cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Xu Liu."
"Cousin from the Qian family, if you call me that, you're going to be a stranger." Xu Nuo smiled and stopped two steps in front of Qian Zhao, squatting down and saluting.

The weather in Guangzhou is particularly good today, with plenty of sunshine and blue sky. I hope everyone will also experience good weather.
