at dusk. Lan
After Luo Qingzhou left the imperial city, he went directly to the new mansion.
In the mansion, the servants are busy.
Clean the dust, hoe the grass and cut the trees, purchase seating furniture, etc.
Xiaodie Zhuer and other maids were also very busy.
The servants were all sent by the princess from the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion. At this time, the princess and Song Ruyue were talking in the garden behind.
Second brother Qin went back to Yunwujiang and brought all the useful things at home.
Qin Wenzheng and Butler Zhou were discussing the layout of the front yard. Lan
Luo Qingzhou went to the backyard and found that there were plaques on the gates of each courtyard.
Meixiang Garden, Banished Immortal Residence, Huarong Residence, Lingchan Moon Palace, etc. all still use their previous names.
In the Meixiang Garden, Qiu'er was wiping the window spirit alone.
This girl is wearing a light yellow dress, with tender skin, slender figure, and light posture. Even her movements when working show the softness and agility of Jiangnan women.
Of course, Luo Qingzhou would not underestimate her.
"careful!"
She was standing on the chair, wiping the top window, when the chair suddenly shook. Lan
Luo Qingzhou quickly went over to support her.
When Qiu'er saw it was him, a bright smile appeared on her face and she said, "Thank you, uncle."
Luo Qingzhou touched her soft and cold little hand and said, "Why don't you let the servants do this kind of rough work? Didn't the county prince's palace send a lot of servants?"
Qiu'er jumped down from the chair, her movements were light, her pale yellow dress fluttering slightly, like an autumn butterfly, she smiled and said: "Uncle, slaves are also servants. You can let them clean other places, Miss and Of course, we can rest assured that we clean the place where my uncle lives. The eldest lady’s place is also cleaned by Sister Bailing and Sister Xiachan."
】
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the window, poured the water in her basin, put the towel back, and said: "It's cold, be careful of frostbite on your hands. It looks pretty clean here, no need to clean it."
Qiu'er smiled and said: "We have already cleaned it in the afternoon, and it is naturally clean. When I just checked, I found that there was still some dust on it, so I went up to wipe it."
Then he said: "Uncle, please go in and have a look at the room. Everything is ready. Tomorrow we will lay out the carpet, put up the curtains, get the quilt, and you can live in."
Luo Qingzhou entered the house, looked around in the hall first, and then went to the room.
"There are four rooms. The largest room is separated by a bead curtain and is made into a study and a back room. My uncle and the young lady live in it. In the other rooms, my slave, Pearl, and Xiaodie live... My uncle, look, there are bookcases there. , Second Young Master went out to buy it for you personally in the afternoon..."
While Luo Qingzhou watched, Qiu'er whispered softly from behind.
"There is also the Immortal Palace next to it, which is a place specially prepared for my uncle to study. Desks, bookcases, seats, couches and beds are all ready there. When we went shopping in the afternoon, my wife even bought a lot for my uncle. The soft cushions are all the best. My wife said that my uncle had a hard time studying, and she was afraid that he would not feel comfortable sitting there, and she also told us to beat him regularly..."
"When I went to buy furniture, I also bought a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones for my uncle. Rice paper is the most expensive thing..."
Luo Qingzhou listened quietly without saying a word. After she finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Qiu'er, do you think my son-in-law is a good son-in-law?"
Qiu'er nodded and said: "Of course it is. My uncle has done so many things for the family. Without him, we would be gone long ago." Lan
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, looked at her and said, "But my uncle is very carefree, isn't he?"
Qiu'er said with a smile: "There is no literati who is not romantic. As long as my uncle is good to us, he is a good uncle. My uncle is many, many times better than those literati who are always in trouble and end up being heartless and unrighteous."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but smile, rubbed her head and said, "Qiu'er can still speak."
Qiu'er meekly lowered her head, leaned gently into his arms, and whispered: "Uncle..."
Luo Qingzhou stroked her silky hair and said, "What's wrong?"
Qiu'er pressed against his chest, her cheeks slightly warm, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, have you given this slave a name, Little Butterfly?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched: "No, who told you?"
Qiu'er whispered: "Little Mantou told this slave..."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Qiu'er! Qiu'er!"
At this moment, Pearl's voice suddenly came from the small courtyard outside.
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Qiu'er, the little steamed buns are here."
Qiu'er smiled "puff" and walked out. She turned back at the door and said, "My uncle, you should eat it early while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
After that, he walked out with a smile. Lan
Night falls.
Princess Bai Ruoshui returned to the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion with everyone in the Qin family.
There are still some things that are not ready for the Qin family's new residence, and they need to stay one night at the Prince's Mansion tonight.
Prince Nangong came back and had dinner with them, then left in a hurry.
At this time, Nangong Yufeng, the king of Nangong County, has surrendered to Nangong Huoyue, so he has been very busy these days.
He has a good reputation among the princes, so Nangong Huoyue is going to give him some tasks, asking him to write letters to persuade other princes and kings, and to spread some news.
The royal family members in Kyoto, as well as the meritorious families, have become very busy starting tonight. Lan
Under the cover of night, cavalry kept galloping out of the city gate.
Yueying also took eight thousand silver-armored cavalry and twenty thousand elite soldiers who were good at defense, and quietly rushed to the Fire Moon Kingdom as quickly as possible.
That night, the top generals of the garrison in various places, as well as the princes and kings who had not rebelled, received some news.
At the same time, among the armies of the King of Thailand and the coalition of seven princes, a lot of news began to spread quietly from the bottom.
Empress Dayan immediately complied with everything Luo Qingzhou said during the day.
Of course, there were many people who did not understand and were skeptical of these schemes, but they were suppressed by the Queen.
Many people asked from whom these plots came, but the Queen did not answer. Lan
But many people have speculations.
The son-in-law of the Qin family went to the palace to see His Majesty today and did not leave His Majesty's study until noon until evening.
"Could it be that the young man came up with all these schemes?"
"Does Your Majesty trust him so much?"
"I remember that His Majesty was still telling us yesterday that we only have 80,000 troops and must delay the attack until the Seven Nations Allied Forces are exhausted. But today it has changed..."
"This is too risky. With such a small number of troops, we have to take the initiative to attack..."
"Hey, if you ask me, I should stay in the capital and summon other princes to serve the king according to the orders of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Maybe there will be a chance..." Lan
"If this battle fails, we will all...hey..."
All the ministers were worried on the way back.
at the same time.
After Nangong Huoyue retired from the late court in Weiyang Palace, he returned to Yaohua Palace, continued to read the news from various places, and then issued orders decisively.
Nangong County Prince's Mansion.
After everyone in the Qin family finished eating, they talked with the princess for a while and then returned to their residences.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin and entered the room. Lan
The couple were talking in the house, while Xiaodie, Qiuer, and Pearl were boiling water outside.
After washing up, the three little girls tidied up and went into the room next door. The three of them slept on the same bed, playing and having fun.
After going crazy for a while, Zhu'er suddenly asked: "Qiu'er, what were you and my uncle doing secretly in the room in the evening? A man and a woman alone must not have done anything good."
Qiu'er smiled and said: "I am discussing with my uncle how to eat this little steamed bun of yours."
"Hmph, if you don't tell the truth, you'll get beaten!"
Zhu'er snorted coldly, hugged her immediately, and slapped her butt several times.
Qiu'er quickly smiled and said: "Xiaodie, come and help, let's take off her clothes together." Lan
Xiaodie smiled and came to help.
The two held Pearl down and began to take off her clothes.
Pearl kicked and pushed, smiling and begging for mercy.
The three of them were frantically fussing for a while, but they were all out of breath and had no energy left.
After a while, the three of them stripped naked and fell asleep holding each other.
And in the next room.
Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin were still talking softly under the quilt. Lan
"Dad originally discussed writing the word "Luo Mansion" on the plaque on the door. Dad said that this is the mansion given to you by His Majesty... But Wei Mo rejected it... In that case, Wei Mo I’m afraid that my father and mother will feel uncomfortable living here..."
"You did the right thing. I am the son-in-law of the Qin family, and I am a member of the Qin family. Naturally, I have to write the Qin family name. If my mother had not left her last words, my surname would have been changed to Qin. Wei Mo, let my father-in-law Sir and mother-in-law, please don’t think too much, no matter how big an official I become in the future, I will still be from the Qin family and have nothing to do with the Luo family..."
"By the way, brother Qingzhou, it's getting late, you should leave quickly."
"Where to go?"
"In the palace? His Majesty may be waiting for you to serve him."
"What are you talking about? I am your husband Luo Qingzhou now, not the queen's pretty boy Chu Feiyang."
"Brother Qingzhou, please turn into a pretty boy and enter the palace. Don't make His Majesty angry." Lan
"...Don't worry, she won't dare let me go tonight."
"What's wrong?"
"last night……"
"What happened last night?"
At this moment, Luo Qingzhou's expression suddenly condensed and he looked towards the window.
A black shadow suddenly appeared outside the window, standing there quietly, like a ghost, motionless.
