Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi joked for a while on the road, and then walked towards the Qin Mansion.
On the way, Qin Ming briefly exchanged words with Xiao Changxi.
The general meaning is that, based on Xiao Changxi's past and Yang Zijun's special surname, it will inevitably lead to speculation from interested people in the court. After arriving at Xingdaofang, it is best not to visit Xiao Mansion in person.
Ask Dongxue to send a message to Xiao Shiyilang after delivering the gifts, and then wait for him to come to the door.
If there is anything to say between brothers and sisters, they can talk about it in Qin's house.
Xiao Changxi agreed to Qin Ming's suggestion without hesitation.
Because Xiao Changxi knew better than anyone else that although Yang Zijun was not her daughter, she was the real princess of the previous dynasty.
Not only that, Yang Zijun’s biological mother is Qin Ming’s so-called Empress Xiao!
Yang Zijun is the legitimate daughter of the late emperor!
Therefore, Xiao Changxi decided earlier that she would rather not see her brother, or not know each other, rather than cause unnecessary trouble to Zijun and the Qin Mansion because of her own selfishness!
Now that Qin Ming has said this, it should be possible for him to meet his brother in the Qin Mansion!
In addition, Xiao Changxi also thought of one thing, that is, when she returns home, she must remind Zijun that in the future, unless there are special circumstances, never take off the veil!
And next time if someone comes to the palace, it’s best to stay away and have less contact with them!
Because Xiao Changxi knew in her heart that as Yang Zijun got older, her appearance and figure became more and more similar to those of the Empress when she was young!
Even the size and position of the tear mole at the corner of her eye are the same as those of the Queen!
If someone who had seen Empress Xiao saw her, it would be easy to associate her with her current appearance!
.....
When the sky was just getting dark, Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi finally returned to the long street where Qin Mansion was located.
Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun, who were waiting on the long street, saw the two figures and hurriedly ran to them.
Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun gave Qin Ming a blessing and called him "Master". After standing up, the two women stood beside Qin Ming, one on the left and the other on the right, while the other held Xiao Changxi's arm.
"Sir, you are back. That old Mr. Yao has been waiting for you in the front yard office for a long time."
Qin Ming heard this and said doubtfully:
"Wait for me? Did you say what happened?"
Xiao Qingwan shook her head and said:
"Mr. Yao didn't say anything. I guess it's about shipbuilding, right?"
Qin Ming nodded slightly, then glanced at Xiao Changxi beside him, and said with a smile:
"Changxi, Zijun, please go back to the backyard first. Wan'er and I will go to the front yard."
When Xiao Changxi and Yang Zijun heard this, they sent a blessing to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, walk slowly."
After Qin and Ming left, Yang Zijun took Xiao Changxi's arm and walked silently in the direction of Qingxinyuan.
Through the bright lanterns on both sides of the path, I occasionally glanced at Xiao Changxi's gauze embroidered with Luan birds.
Xiao Changxi noticed Yang Zijun's eyes and said doubtfully:
"Jun'er, what are you looking at?"
Yang Zijun pursed his lips, hesitated and said:
"Mom, your veil is so exquisitely embroidered? Is it the embroidery picture you drew recently?"
Xiao Changxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, a flash of red flashed across her face, she subconsciously touched the veil on her face, and looked at Yang Zijun with evasive eyes.
"Well, Jun'er, if you like it, my mother will press this pattern for you tomorrow and embroider one too."
Yang Zijun hummed, and then asked in a low voice:
"Mother, did you and the young master go to the temporary government office? Why did you come back so late?"
Xiao Changxi's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and composed, and said without blushing:
"No, the young master wants to go to the wheat field to see how the wheat is growing, and explain some things to my mother."
"By the way, Jun'er, mother may go to Chang'an to stay for a while in the next two days."
Yang Zijun heard the words and said calmly:
"Are you going with the young master this time too?"
Xiao Changxi got goosebumps when she heard this. She always felt that her daughter's tone was a bit strange when she spoke today.
She glanced at Yang Zijun subconsciously, then gently patted Yang Zijun's little hand and said:
"Young Master, yesterday I bought the old residence of Prince Hejian in Pingkangfang and plan to transform the old residence into a hospital."
"There have been a lot of things going on in the house recently, and the young master can't get away from it, so he wants my mother to take Uncle Zhang and Butler Huang to Chang'an to take charge of the renovation of the hospital."
Yang Zijun was stunned when he heard this, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
[Qin Ming and his mother are about ten years apart in age, how is that possible! 】
[It seems that I am overthinking it! 】
Thinking of this, Yang Zijun returned to her previous appearance. She hugged Xiao Changxi's arm and asked with a look of reluctance:
"Then how long will my mother stay in Chang'an this time? If it takes too long, will my mother come back to see Jun'er?"
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she was also relieved. She touched Yang Zijun's ball head and said with a smile:
"I'm not sure about the time. If you can't leave for a while, my mother will come back to see you!"
Yang Zijun smiled and nodded.
"When the academy is on vacation, Jun'er will also go to Chang'an to visit my mother!"
Xiao Changxi patted the back of Yang Zijun's hand and said hello with a smile.
.......
On the other side, after Qin Ming walked into the office with Xiao Qingwan, he immediately saw old man Yao sitting on the sofa and the "little water monster" standing aside to serve tea.
Before Old Yao could get up, Qin Ming said with a smile:
"Mr. Yao, no need to be formal, please sit down."
After saying that, Qin Ming sat on the sofa opposite Old Man Yao.
Seeing this, Si Snake on the side quickly took out a tea cup wrapped with a circle of gold thread from the table.
Holding the teapot in one hand and the teacup in the other, she walked to Qin Ming in Lianbu, put down the teacup and poured Qin Ming a cup of tea.
"Master, please have some tea."
Qin Ming raised his head, and the moment their eyes met, Sishe couldn't help but recall yesterday's scene in his mind, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Sishe lowered her head and hummed, then quickly walked over to Wan'er, carrying the teapot, and stood next to her.
Wan'er tugged on Sishe's sleeve, put it against Sishe's ear, lowered her voice, and said with a smile:
"Little water snake, are you so shy? Why don't we go to Qingxinyuan to sleep tonight? Let you get used to it at night?"
Sishe's face instantly turned red when she heard this, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Wan'er's waist.
Wan'er let out a light sigh.
Qin Ming took a sip of tea and was about to chat with Mr. Yao when he heard a noise behind him.
So he put down the tea cup, turned his head doubtfully, looked at Wan'er, and said doubtfully:
"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Wan'er showed an awkward smile, waved her hands towards Qin Ming and Old Man Yao and said:
"I just remembered that there is still soup simmering in the kitchen! Master, please chat, I will go to the kitchen and take a look."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded when he heard this.
"Well, go ahead and ask someone to call Uncle Huang over and tell him that I have something to ask him."
Upon hearing this, Wan'er sent a blessing to Qin Ming.
"Here."
After Wan'er stood up, she saw that Qin Ming had turned his head.
She waved her fist at the little water snake, then turned her head and flicked her twin ponytails, and walked out of the door.
