Li Yuan turned his head, pretending to be confused, and said:
"This is?"
Qin Ming walked to the wooden box with a smile, opened his palm and pointed at the wooden box and said:
"My grandson bought some jewelry and clothes at Caiyun Building and Nishang Pavilion in Dongshi yesterday. These boxes are for my grandson to honor your grandfather."
As Li Yuan's concubines, Madam Zhang, Chunhua and Qiushi at the card table naturally knew about these two well-known shops in Dongshi.
Even many of their dresses and jewelry were purchased from these two shops.
It's a pity that in order to conceal their identity, those beautiful dresses and exquisite jewelry were not brought here!
At this time, after hearing Qin Ming say that the four big boxes were filled with clothes and jewelry, the three women couldn't help but their eyes lit up, they looked at Li Yuan eagerly, and said in a long and sweet tone:
"Mr. Lang..."
Li Yuan looked at the hopeful looks in the girls' eyes, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and silently gave Qin Ming a "like" in his heart!
He coughed lightly and waved his hand, looking extremely domineering.
said:
"Okay, those things are all yours, you can choose them yourself."
After hearing this, the three women stood up one after another and said to Li Yuan:
"Thank you, Mr. Lang, for the reward!"
Then the three girls happily surrounded several large boxes.
...
At three o'clock in the morning,
After Qin Ming finished eating with Li Yuan, he first sent Li Yuan back to the courtyard, and then turned back to his study in the small courtyard.
When he returned to the study, Xiao Changxi led a group of maids to put the big box in the study into the warehouse.
Qin Ming leaned on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes and rested, secretly planning tomorrow's trip.
In the bedroom next to the study, Xiao Qingwan lay on the bathtub and glanced at the water level in the bathtub.
Then he turned around with a smile and said to Sishe who was heating hot water:
"Little water snake, the cold water is almost enough. You boil the water first. I will go to the study to find the young master. I will come back with the young master later!"
Sishe's pretty face turned red when she heard this!
Maybe it was because he and Qin Ming made their feelings clear, or maybe it was because he remembered the charming scene in the car.
At this time, when the little water snake heard the word "Master", he became a little nervous.
Because in the past, Wan'er would ask Qin Ming to come over and take a bath at this time.
So Sishe didn't think much and nodded towards Wan'er.
Seeing this, Wan'er showed a meaningful smile, glanced secretly at the busy Si She, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Wan'er gently opened the door to the study room and walked in. After looking around, she saw Qin Ming sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Wan'er walked to Qin Ming's side softly, bent down and called "Young Master" softly.
After Qin Ming opened his eyes and saw the person clearly, he pulled Wan'er onto his lap without saying a word and gave Wan'er two symbolic spankings on the butt.
"Do you dare to do it next time?"
Wan'er was not surprised at all by this, and pretended to be greatly wronged and said:
"The slave family is wronged!"
Qin Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this, and with a strong hand, he pulled Wan'er up and made her sit on his lap to face him.
Qin Ming reached out and tapped Wan'er's forehead and said:
"This will never happen again!"
Upon hearing this, Wan'er's power was instantly broken. She put her arms around Qin Ming's neck and said with a smile:
"The slave family is also here for the sake of the young master!"
Qin Ming felt warm when he heard this.
I can’t understand how there could be such a stupid girl in the world!
How could Qin Ming not like such a girl?
Thinking like this, Qin Ming tapped Wan'er's eyebrows again.
"Are you stupid? Is there anyone like you who would give a woman to your son? Aren't you afraid of falling out of favor?"
Wan'er smiled at Qin Ming, lowered her head and rubbed Qin Ming's neck, and whispered:
"Master, didn't my uncle promise this morning that you have a good heart for Wan'er and will pamper Wan'er for the rest of your life?"
Qin Ming was startled when he heard this, then he held Xiao Qingwan's shoulders and asked:
"You know everything?"
Wan'er shook her head when she heard this and said with a smile:
"The Nu family only heard this sentence, and the rest were just guesses, because my uncle and my father look a bit alike, and if my uncle wasn't Wan'er's relative, the young master would not have said this to him!"
"So Wan'er came up with this guess!"
"The Nu family just wanted to test the young master, but they didn't expect that he was really Wan'er's uncle."
Qin Ming was stunned for a while when he heard this, then he scratched the tip of Wan'er's nose and said with a smile:
"Foxes are not as smart as you!"
Then Qin Ming tightened his hands around Wan'er's slender waist and asked:
"I didn't let you get to know each other this morning. The young master also had his own reasons..."
Wan'er stretched out her white and tender fingers and covered Qin Ming's lips.
"Master, there is no need to feel sorry for this. Wan'er knows in her heart that Master must have a reason for doing this."
Qin Ming felt very uncomfortable looking at the well-behaved and sensible Wan'er!
Somewhat distressed!
After all, people are not born sensible!
Wan'er can be so sensible at such a young age. I think she suffered a lot in the past.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming hugged Wan'er into his arms and let her head rest on his shoulder.
While caressing Wan'er's back, he slowly explained the cause of the matter:
"Your uncle's surname is Xiao and his given name is Chong. He is the eleventh in the family and is a cousin to your father."
"The reason why you are not allowed to recognize him is because he is the younger brother of the former Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao came to Chang'an with her in the fourth year of Zhenguan and settled in the house next door to ours."
When Wan'er heard this, she stared at her beautiful peach blossom eyes and let out a sigh.
"Are you surprised? The young master was also surprised when he first heard about it from Prince Hejian!"
"Who would have thought that I could just buy a house and become a neighbor with such a person."
"It's also because he has the identity of Empress Xiao's younger brother, so you can't recognize each other for the time being."
Wan'er blinked when she heard this, then stood up and looked at Qin Ming and asked:
"Sir, did you say that when my aunt came to Chang'an to find her relatives, was it just to find Uncle Eleven?"
"If that's the case, is it possible that my cousin's father is also in the house next door?"
Qin Ming's body trembled when he heard this. This question Wan'er raised was what Qin Ming had been most worried about for a long time!
This is also the reason why Qin Ming did not ask Yang Zijun about his life experience despite having some alone time with Xiao Changxi today.
Although Qin Ming also knows that after so many years, this possibility is not high!
But what if?
Thinking of this, Qin Ming is a little worried about gains and losses!
Wan'er saw her young master frowning, and after thinking about it, she understood what the young master was worried about.
At the same time, she also regretted asking this question.
After thinking clearly, Wan'er called softly:
"Son."
Qin Ming came back to his senses and forced a smile towards Wan'er.
"Chang Xi may have come to see Xiao Shiyilang. As for whether Zi Jun's father is still alive, I don't know."
