in the living room.
Yue Wu was wearing a blue dress and was drinking morning tea.
Qin Wenzheng accompanied him.
The two occasionally chatted awkwardly, and spent the rest of the time sipping tea.
It wasn't until Luo Qingzhou came in that the atmosphere eased slightly.
Yuewu stood up and said apologetically: "Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry for disturbing you on the first day of the Lunar New Year. But His Highness is leaving today. I want to say a few words to Mr. Luo and give him a gift by the way." , I hope Mr. Luo can go and see him."
Qin Wenzheng was secretly shocked as he listened.
This Moon Dancer girl represents the eldest princess, and she has such a respectful attitude in front of this boy. When the eldest princess wants to see this boy, she does not give direct orders and summons, but requests and hopes, and even gives him gifts in person. This guy is a gift!
This news shocked him.
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Father-in-law, let me go out first."
Qin Wenzheng came to his senses and said quickly: "Go quickly, don't keep the eldest princess waiting."
Luo Qingzhou left behind Yue Wu.
Just as he walked out of the gate and was about to go down the steps, the girl in black skirt named Yue Ying suddenly galloped towards her and said in a cold voice: "Yue Wu, come back with me. Mr. Luo doesn't have to go."
Yue Wu was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Yueying did not explain, but glanced at the young man on the stage, turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, His Highness is waiting."
Yue Wu's expression changed, thinking something had happened, and she quickly apologized: "Master Luo, I'm sorry, you should go back to your home first."
After saying that, he hurried down the steps and mounted the white horse.
Immediately, the two girls left in a hurry with the carriage and guards.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the steps, dumbfounded, then turned back to his house.
If it were any other person, he would have scolded him long ago.
Isn't this a joke?
At this time, in the hall.
Qin Wenzheng was sipping his morning tea and thinking about things.
Song Ruyue walked out from behind angrily and said: "Master, that boy runs to the eldest princess all day long, why don't you talk about him? Today is the first day of the lunar new year, and the second and fourth masters will not be here soon." I want to come to pay New Year’s greetings.”
Qin Wenzheng frowned and said, "How dare he not go when the eldest princess calls? Do you dare to tell him not to go?"
Song Ruyue pouted, sat down on the chair next to her, and said, "Master, I'm worried that he will be abducted by those vixens. I am doing this for the sake of the Qin family and Wei Mo."
Qin Wenzheng glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Trouble comes from your mouth! Who is the vixen?"
Song Ruyue said unconvinced: "Master, I'm talking about the one named Yue Wu, not the eldest princess. You haven't seen that Yue Wu stares straight at that kid every time, wishing he could kill him on the spot. The boy is eating it, Wei Mo is not around, we have to be careful."
Qin Wenzheng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry. If Wei Mo is not here, there will naturally be other people in the house looking at him. It's your turn to worry about him. And that boy and the eldest princess...since we recognize him, we must believe him." He, don’t be suspicious all the time.”
Song Ruyue encouraged again: "Master, now that Wei Mo is away, that boy must be more and more unruly. Master, as the head of the family, you must establish your dignity in front of that boy, otherwise he will be unscrupulous. It's time to beat him." .”
Qin Wenzheng thought about the Yuewu girl's attitude towards the boy just now, turned his head and looked at her and said: "This task will be left to you. Anyway, you have reprimanded him so many times before. You are the most useful in front of him." Majesty, he is afraid of you. Just hit it hard later, and I will sit next to you and help you hold the battle."
Song Ruyue: "..."
"Master, madam, the second master and the fourth master and their families are here to pay New Year's greetings!"
At this moment, a servant ran over in a hurry.
The two stood up quickly.
Qin Wenzheng immediately ordered: "Get ready to set off the whip. Let the chef prepare for the lunch immediately. Go and call Jian Jia and Chuan'er."
Song Ruyue also immediately ordered the maid next to her: "Go and arrange the candies, snacks, melon seeds, etc., and take out all the New Year's money that you packed last night."
After a pause, he added: "Let Qiu'er and Xiaodie come out."
The maid and her servants immediately left in a hurry.
Not long after, Butler Zhou had already entered the courtyard with a large group of people.
Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin were at the front.
Behind them were several ladies and concubines, and behind them were young men and women leading many little boys and girls.
A group of people walked in lively.
"Brother, sister-in-law! Happy New Year! We are here to wish you a happy New Year!"
"Uncle, aunt, niece and nephew are here to wish you a happy New Year!"
"Uncle, grandma, nephews and nieces are here to wish you a happy New Year!"
A large group of people, old and young, all came in laughing and laughing.
The Second Master Qin and the Fourth Master Qin both have grandchildren. Qin Wenzheng and Song Ruyue looked envious and felt a little sad thinking about it.
But this is not the time to feel sad.
"Okay, okay, come on, come on, come on, rivers are like water, trees are like mountains, come quickly and bring your brothers and sisters over to collect the new year's money."
Song Ruyue hurriedly went to hand out New Year's money to each of them with a smile on her face.
Qin Wenzheng exchanged greetings with his brother, and after sitting down, they began to drink tea and chat.
The spacious living room was suddenly filled with people.
The adults sat and chatted, the young people gathered together to laugh, and the children were playing and making fun. It was very lively.
"Crackling..."
Firecrackers suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
The children all rushed out excitedly, but they were all respectfully stopped in the corridor by the servants and refused to come near.
"By the way, where are Chuan'er and Jianjia?"
Mr. Qin suddenly asked while drinking tea.
Qin Wenzheng immediately looked at the maid next to him and said, "Go and urge her again."
Fourth Master Qin asked curiously: "Brother, that son-in-law..."
Qin Wenzheng immediately frowned and said, "His name is Qing Zhou, and he is already part of our Qin family. Don't talk about whether we have a son-in-law or not."
Fourth Master Qin smiled coquettishly and said, "Brother, I just want to ask, why didn't he go to Kyoto with Wei Mo? Aren't you planning to put him..."
"Next year, come with us then."
Qin Wenzheng lowered his head and drank tea, speaking calmly.
the other side.
Song Ruyue was having a lively chat with the wife of Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin.
"What? Sister-in-law, you are actually planning to take a concubine for that boy, are you crazy? He is just a son-in-law. Look at the life of that son-in-law of Zhou Lan's family. What kind of life is he? That's a son-in-law!"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you are doting on him too much. This is not okay. No matter how talented he is, his background is there, and he has just married into your family. This is too unruly for you."
Song Ruyue immediately said: "It's all your eldest brother who dotes on you. I asked your eldest brother to teach that kid a lesson, but he refused. Huh, sooner or later, he will dote on us and shit on us!"
"Sister-in-law, this is not okay. If you don't teach him a lesson for the sake of Jian Jia and Wei Mo, then we will help you teach him a lesson later. We are his aunts, and we should teach him a lesson."
"Yes! Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will know the appropriateness later. How can anyone treat their son-in-law like you do? If this continues, it will really go against the grain! We must beat him hard!"
At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Master, Madam, the Second Young Master did not let the slave in. It is said that it is a critical moment these days."
Qin Wenzheng's expression condensed and he immediately said: "Okay, don't disturb him anymore. Are Jianjia and the others here?"
When he was asking, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Even the children playing in the corridor gradually became quiet.
In the courtyard, a tall, handsome boy in a skirt and robe came side by side with a girl in a snow-white dress, who was as beautiful as a fairy.
Behind them were several pretty girls.
"That's Sister Jianjia, right? She's so beautiful. I think I've only seen her once."
"I saw her a few years ago. Usually when we come here, she never comes out."
"Sister Wan'er, sister Jianjia are more beautiful than the fairies in the paintings."
"Is the person next to you the husband-in-law of Sister Jianjia? He is also very good-looking. He matches Sister Jianjia very well."
"I heard that he is a scholar and his literary talent is very good."
The younger generation were all whispering in the corridor.
Someone called out "Sister Jianjia" and "Sister Jianjia" enthusiastically, but received no response.
Miss Qin looked cold and entered the room as if no one else was around.
The voices in the room also became quiet.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind, feeling everyone's curious eyes and no longer nervous.
After all, I was completely numb this morning.
The two of them walked to Qin Wenzheng first.
The maid quickly brought tea.
"Father-in-law, have some tea."
Luo Qingzhou took the initiative to pick up the teacup and handed it over.
Qin Wenzheng took it, took a symbolic sip, and said strangely: "Qingzhou, didn't you go out? Are you back so soon?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I just came back."
He bowed again to the two middle-aged men next to him and called, "Second uncle, fourth uncle."
"well."
Both of them smiled and nodded, but didn't say much.
In their opinion, no matter how much their eldest brother valued this young man, he was just a concubine and son-in-law with a humble status. They really had nothing to say to him, and they couldn't bear to be close to him.
Luo Qingzhou held the tea cup again, bowed and handed it to Song Ruyue, saying: "Mother-in-law, please have tea."
Song Ruyue still gave him face in front of so many people. She took the teacup, took a sip, handed him a red envelope, and said calmly: "Qingzhou, in the new year, don't slack off, and continue to do your best. Study hard and strive for the high school exam in the fall. Then I will earn some face for you and for my Qin family."
Luo Qingzhou took the red envelope with both hands and said respectfully: "Yes, mother-in-law."
Song Ruyue pointed to the woman next to her and said, "This is your second aunt and fourth aunt. They have something to say to you."
After saying that, she glanced at him and immediately added: "I don't know what they are going to say, but they are all your elders. If they say something you don't like to hear, just don't take it to heart."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Yes."
The two women looked at him with squinted eyes, and secretly praised him: He is indeed a talented person, gentle and elegant, no wonder his eldest brother and sister-in-law dote on him so much.
Immediately, both of them looked cold and prepared to give him a severe beating.
At this moment, Butler Zhou suddenly ran in in a hurry: "Master! Madam! The eldest princess is here!"
As soon as these words came out, there was sudden silence in the hall and corridor.
Qin Wenzheng thought he heard wrongly, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who is here?"
Butler Zhou immediately said in a hurry: "The eldest princess! The eldest princess is here! She also brought many silver-armored cavalry with her. They filled up the streets outside and are already getting off the carriage!"
"Whoosh!"
Qin Wenzheng suddenly jumped up from his chair as if he had been stabbed in the butt.
The faces of the second and fourth masters of the Qin family, as well as Song Ruyue and the two ladies, suddenly changed and they stood up from their chairs in a hurry.
"It's over, you're not here to ransack your home, are you?"
I don't know who whispered something, and everyone in the hall turned pale and frightened.
"Quick! Go out and greet us!"
Qin Wenzheng reacted and immediately led everyone out in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the eldest princess in red robes, accompanied by guards, came in powerfully from the gate.
The silver-armored guards surrounding her walked with clanging steps, and the iron-armored weapons on their bodies shone coldly in the sun, making everyone in the Qin family frightened!
Seeing this, Qin Wenzheng hurriedly bowed to worship.
Behind him, the untitled Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin, as well as the women and young men and women, all knelt directly on the ground, their foreheads touching the ground, their faces turned pale with fear, and they were trembling.
The entire courtyard fell to their knees in an instant.
However, at the very back of the crowd, there were still a few people who did not kneel.
Nangong Huoyue stopped, glanced at Qin Wenzheng, then at the people kneeling on the ground, and finally looked at the figures standing under the eaves.
"Master Qin, you're welcome."
Nangong Huoyue withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "I came here today to ask for something."
Qin Wenzheng's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please tell me. If I can do it, I will not give up even if I die!"
Nangong Huoyue's eyes crossed the crowd and looked at the figure in Confucian robes under the eaves again, with a majestic expression: "I want to take someone from your house as my teacher. I wonder if Lord Qin can agree?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Wenzheng was startled, but the rest of the Qin family who were kneeling on the ground were also startled, with shock on their faces.
The eldest princess...want to become a disciple?
And he's still from the Qin family?
Nangong Huoyue bowed directly to the figure under the eaves and raised her hands, and said loudly: "Sir, Huoyue is here to become a disciple today. I hope you can agree."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up in shock and looked everywhere for the Qin family member who actually asked the eldest princess to come to be his disciple.
The muscles on Qin Wenzheng's face kept twitching, and he suddenly turned sideways and followed the eldest princess' gaze to the eaves behind.
Song Ruyue knelt on the ground and shivered, then turned her head and looked directly at the frowning young man under the eaves behind her.
The couple thought of the same person almost instantly!
Song Ruyue was really scared now.
Thinking of how she was just about to encourage others to beat that boy, and how she had a slightly unkind attitude toward that boy that morning, she suddenly shivered...
"Sir, Huo Yue is willing to kneel down and bow three times, all he wants is for your consent."
Nangong Huoyue said something again that shocked everyone in the Qin family.
