After leaving Langyahou Mansion, Qin Ming and his party rushed to Pingkangfang Fushou Street without stopping.
At the gate of the mansion, two old housekeepers had been waiting outside.
Seeing Qin Ming and Xiao Changxi get off the carriage, Uncle Huang and Uncle Zhang hurriedly came up to them, cupped their hands and said:
"Old slave, I have met the young master and Mrs. Xiao."
Qin Ming came to help him up and said with a smile:
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Zhang, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's go in and talk."
"yes."
After speaking, the group of people walked towards the hospital.
Uncle Huang led the way and told Qin Ming with great interest the renovation of the hospital.
Qin Ming watched as he walked, nodding in praise.
Uncle Zhang glanced at Qin Ming and saw that Qin Ming didn't notice him, so he winked at Xiao Changxi.
Xiao Changxi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
The two slowed down their pace until they were some distance away from Qin Ming.
Uncle Zhang asked softly:
"Madam, yesterday I sent a message from Zhuangzi, asking my master to call you Mrs. Xiao."
"What on earth is going on? Could it be that Mr. Qin plans to marry his wife?"
Xiao Changxi looked up and saw the figure in green shirt in front of her, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Qin Lang will go out with the army in a few days."
"He is worried about the safety of my concubine and Jun'er during his absence."
"So he gave me a title."
"In this way, even if something happens, I can take his place and coordinate all the people and things in the house."
While talking, Xiao Changxi's slender jade fingers hidden in her wide long sleeves were rubbing back and forth on the token.
Uncle Zhang sighed after hearing this, raised his head and glanced at Qin Ming's back, his eyes were indescribably complicated.
"Hey, I don't even know what to say!"
"Madam, have you ever thought about it? Nowadays, the Qin Mansion is attracting the attention of all forces in Chang'an."
"There is no way we can hide the news that you are in charge of the Qin Mansion as a concubine."
"If one day in the future, Li Tang's little princess really enters the Qin Mansion and takes over the power of life and death in the backyard, how will you deal with it, madam!"
"I'm worried that Li Tang's little princess will embarrass his wife. When that happens, I'm afraid that even if he wants to protect you, he won't be able to protect you!"
Xiao Changxi's expression became serious when she heard this. Uncle Zhang's words gave her a wake-up call.
In the Tang Dynasty, the status of concubines was very low, only slightly better than that of slaves in the mansion.
According to Tang law, even if the wife beats her concubine to death, she will not be punished.
This kind of thing was not uncommon for Xiao Changxi, who came from a wealthy family, when she was young.
Because she became a member of Qin Ming early on, she has secretly observed Princess Yuzhang, the future mistress of Qin Mansion, several times in the past few days.
In her opinion, Princess Yuzhang's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Mao Tu, and she can't hide her words.
She has no scheming, her happiness and anger are all written on her face, she is a very simple little lady.
So in Xiao Changxi's opinion, it wouldn't be too difficult for her when she walked in.
In addition, she also has confidence in Qin Ming, believing that Qin Ming treats her sincerely and will be able to protect their safety in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi tightly clenched the token in her hand.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, Mr. Qin is not a heartless person. He will definitely protect me and you in the future."
Uncle Zhang frowned when he heard this and asked in a low voice:
"Could it be that Your Highness..."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention to them.
Uncle Zhang also realized that he had made a mistake and squinted his eyes to look around.
Xiao Changxi thought for a while, glanced at Uncle Zhang, and signaled him to wait for her.
Uncle Zhang nodded silently with understanding.
Xiao Changxi took two quick steps, came to Qin Ming, and said with a blessing:
"Qin Lang, I have something to say and want to talk to Uncle Zhang alone."
When Qin Ming heard this, he glanced at Uncle Zhang who was not far away, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Well, there happens to be a pavilion over there. You can go there and sit and chat."
"By the way, you will inform Uncle Zhang later and ask him to return home with us today."
Xiao Changxi nodded when she heard this.
A few moments,
Xiao Changxi and Uncle Zhang arrived and sat down in the pavilion.
Then, she told Uncle Zhang what had happened in the past few days.
Uncle Zhang was speechless after listening to Xiao Changxi's story.
After a while, he said angrily:
"Hey, I don't even know now. Was it right to sell myself to the Qin Mansion? Or was it wrong?"
Xiao Changxi comforted her softly.
"You don't have to blame yourself."
"If it hadn't been for you meeting Qin Lang at the beginning, I don't think Jun'er would have..."
"Now, Jun'er is in good health and has found what he wants to do."
"I met the person I like."
"This is already good, we should be content."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was heartbroken and said:
"But with your status, being that boy's concubine would be too advantageous for him!"

Youshi
Qin Da drove a carriage into Qinjiazhuang.
What surprised him was that Zhuangzi, who was usually lively and bustling, was particularly deserted today.
Half of the people on the street were gone. Until the carriage drove into the street where the Qin Mansion was located, Qin Da was stunned.
Just because the streets outside Qin Mansion were paved with red silk and crowded with people.
The Qin Mansion not far away was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Two huge red lanterns were hung at the door, which was extremely festive.
I don't know who it was, but shouted something.
"The county man has returned home."
The crowds on both sides of the street immediately went crazy. One by one, they got out of the way, bowed to the carriage, and said all kinds of auspicious words.
At this moment, Qin Da was confused. What is going on?
At this time, Jin Yi, who had been ordered by Qin Ming early in the morning, urged his horse forward and said to Qin Da:
"Boss, stop being dazed and let's go!"
Qin Da came back to his senses, nodded, and asked Jin Yi while driving:
"Jin Yi, what's going on? Why are all the people in Zhuangzi gathered here?"
Jin Yi jumped off the horse, held the reins and said:
"To celebrate the successful completion of spring plowing, the Master specially invited people from Zhuangzi to come to the house for a banquet to celebrate."
Qin Da suddenly realized what he said.
"I see, it's true, Master, that for such a big matter, you didn't even inform me in advance."
"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought that the young master was going to marry someone else!"
.....
On the carriage, Xiao Changxi, who was taking a nap, slowly opened her eyes.
Those beautiful eyes blinked, raised his head and said doubtfully:
"Sir, what happened outside?"
Qin Ming looked at the sleepy beauty in his arms and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Xiao Changxi lightly on the lips.
"This is my compensation for Xi'er."
