Xiao Changxi pushed Qin Ming, stood up in a panic, took out the gauze from her sleeves, and covered her face again.
When Xiao Qingwan and others entered the room, they exchanged a few words.
Only then did Qin Ming remember that the things he wanted to give were still there, placed in the living room on the first floor.
So Qin Ming stood up and said to the women:
"You guys sit down for a while, I'll go get some things and I'll be back soon."
After hearing this, Wan'er stood up and said:
"Sir, my servant will go with you to get it."
Others wanted to follow after hearing this, but Qin Ming refused.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Wan'er took two steps, took Qin Ming's arm, and asked in a low voice:
"Master, did my aunt agree to let my cousin be the master's concubine?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave Wan'er a slap on the head.
"You are the only one who is smart!"
Wan'er saw that Qin Ming's expression was relaxed and smiling, so she knew she had guessed correctly.
She held Qin Ming's arm affectionately and said with a smile:
"That's really great. This way, my slave and my cousin can always be together."
Qin Ming glanced at the girl in pink skirt next to him, thought for a while and asked:
"Wan'er, aren't you jealous at all when the young master takes a concubine?"
Wan'er frowned upon hearing this, with two sparse eyebrows, and said doubtfully:
"Jealous? Vinegar is a seasoning. Being jealous will burn your heart. Why should I eat it?"
Qin Ming coughed dryly after hearing this.
He forgot for a moment that jealousy was a later term, and the word seemed not to have spread in the Tang Dynasty.
So while walking, he explained to Wan'er what jealousy meant!
After Wan'er figured out what Qin Ming wanted to express, her eyes lit up and a rare gossip expression appeared on her face.
"Sir, are you telling the truth? Did Mrs. Fang really drink the vinegar given by the saint as poisonous wine?"
Qin Ming blinked when he heard this and said seriously:
"It's good that you know, but don't spread it randomly."
Wan'er squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox.
"My servant will never tell anyone else."
Qin Ming nodded, touched Wan'er's head and said:
"I've finished explaining to you, isn't it time for you to answer my questions?"
Wan'er tilted her head and thought for a while and said:
"My cousin is a relative of this servant. I will never be jealous of my cousin!"
"Besides, my cousin is now the dean of the College of Calculation, and her prestige in the college is very high! If one day she marries someone else, wouldn't it be a loss to our family?"
"If that day comes, sir... this slave will not be heartbroken to death!"
"The most important thing is that I know that my cousin will be very happy if she follows the young master!"
Qin Ming felt warm when he heard this.
[This girl is like my caring little cotton-padded jacket! It's great to have such a girl by my side! ]
.......
After a while,
Qin Ming carried a package and pushed open the study door.
A group of women who were sitting around the sofa, immersed in the story of A Chinese Ghost Story, jumped up and stood up when they heard the noise.
After Qin Ming left, Yang Zijun took the initiative to tell Xiao Changxi, Dong Xue and Chun Xing the stories he heard on the carriage.
Si Snake and Usagi were a little better. After all, they had heard it before on the carriage, so they were not afraid, but looked excited!
When Yang Zijun, Si She, and Mao Tu saw the nervous expressions of Xiao Changxi, Chun Xing, and Dong Xue, they finally understood Qin Ming's mood on the carriage.
[It turns out that telling ghost stories to others is so fun! ]
[No, I’ll beg you to tell me a similar story if you have the chance! ]
[This way you can use it to scare others! ]
Sishe came to his senses first, walked quickly to Qin Ming, and gave him a blessing.
"Sir, please help me carry it for you."
"No need, it's not heavy."
With that said, Qin Ming put the package on the coffee table. As Qin Ming unwrapped the package, a dozen exquisitely crafted boxes were displayed in front of the women.
Xiao Changxi looked at the box, raised her head and looked at Xiao Qingwan with questioning eyes.
Xiao Qingwan shook her head when she saw this, saying that she didn't know either.
At this moment, Mao Tu, his eyes shining brightly, came close to Qin Ming and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what's in this? Jewelry?"
Qin Ming picked up three wooden boxes and handed them to Xiao Changxi, Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun respectively.
"Inside this is the dressing mirror recently developed in the house!"
"You can open it and take a look. Warm reminder, there is a surprise. Don't be scared!"
When Xiao Changxi and her three daughters heard that it was a dressing mirror, they didn't think much about it. They opened the wooden box and picked up the dressing mirror that was upside down inside!
Sishe, Maotu, Chunxing and Dongxue all came next to the three of them.
The moment Xiao Changxi and the other three girls picked up the dressing mirror and turned it over.
The study room suddenly rang with the screams of the girls!
A quarter of an hour later,
Xiao Changxi took Yang Zijun and others out of Qin Ming's courtyard with faces of joy. When they left, each of them had a small wooden box in their hands.
After Xiao Changxi returned to Qingxinyuan, she went straight back to the room on the second floor of the attic.
After closing the door, she quickly walked to the desk, put down the wooden box, picked up the brush on the table, and wrote a note.
Then, she opened the door and walked to the viewing corridor on the second floor.
Xiao Changxi walked to the edge of the viewing corridor, took out a fire stick from her sleeve, and lit a big red lantern in the corridor.
Then she picked up the bamboo pole in the corridor and hung the lantern under the eaves of the viewing corridor.
The movements were smooth and smooth, and it was obvious that this was not the first time she hung a lantern.
After Xiao Changxi lit the lantern, she stood in the viewing corridor for a while. Only when a red lantern was hung up on the second floor of an attic a hundred meters away did Xiao Changxi let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yang Zijun's anxious voice sounded in the corridor.
"Mother?"
Xiao Changxi froze when she heard this and was startled by the sudden voice.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zijun hurried forward, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Changxi's arm, and said nervously:
"Mother, did my daughter scare you just now?"
Xiao Changxi patted her chest, and a wave of waves suddenly appeared.
"Jun'er, it's so late, why are you here?"
Yang Zijun blushed when she heard this, and because she was too nervous, she couldn't help but clenched the hem of her skirt with her hands.
It took a lot of effort for her to summon up the courage to come to Xiao Changxi to discuss becoming Qin Ming's concubine.
However, when she actually faced her mother, she didn't know how to speak!
Xiao Changxi's mood has calmed down a lot at this time.
Seeing Yang Zijun's hesitant expression, he probably had some guesses in his mind!
She reached out and touched Yang Zijun's head, showing a gentle smile.
"Jun'er, it's cold outside. Mom has something to tell you. Let's go inside."
After saying this, Xiao Changxi pulled Yang Zijun into the house.
After a while
Yang Zijun, who was wearing a nightgown, stared at Xiao Changxi in disbelief and said:
"Impossible? How could I be her daughter?"
Yang Zijun took Xiao Changxi's hand, pursed her lips, and said tremblingly:
"Mother, you must have lied to Jun'er, right? How could I not be mother's daughter?"
Xiao Changxi reached out and hugged Yang Zijun into her arms. While caressing her back, she comforted her softly:
"Mom, I didn't lie to you! I am really your aunt."
"When you come to Chang'an this time, my mother will bring you to see her."
Yang Zijun lay in Xiao Changxi's arms, shaking his head.
"I don't want to see her, you are Jun'er's only mother!"
Xiao Changxi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out an envelope from under the pillow, stuffed it into Yang Zijun's hand and said:
"She gave this to you..."
