After lunch, Qi Zheng took Shen Ziqiao back to his Qianlin Courtyard.
The first thing Shen Ziqiao did when she entered the room was to take off the heavy hairpins on her head and change into a comfortable dress. She got used to it easily, and always felt that wearing gold and silver was really tiring.
Hongyu fetched water and washed off all the rouge on her face.
"So sleepy!" Shen Ziqiao finally felt relaxed all over, hugged the quilt and rolled around, and decided to catch up on sleep.
When Qi Zheng entered the door, he saw her childish behavior, chuckled softly, and unconsciously there was a fondness in his eyes that he didn't even notice. He walked over and lay down beside her, "Aren't you very tired?" ?”
Shen Ziqiao turned around and hugged his arm, leaned her face on his shoulder, and yawned, "Actually, it's okay, but it's just the first time we're married, and we don't understand anything, so of course we'll be tired."
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Qi Zheng said softly, "I'll accompany you."
"Are you free to do?" Shen Ziqiao regained a comfortable position in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, felt her eyelids heavy.
"I have a half-month vacation, and the biggest thing for this half-month is to be with you." Qi Zheng rubbed his chin against her heart, with a deep smile in his deep voice.
Shen Ziqiao smiled sweetly and fell asleep contentedly.
Looking at her beautiful face, Qi Zheng couldn't help kissing her a few times, and then he hugged her and closed his eyes.
Here is a peaceful and warm atmosphere, but in the main room of the upper room, there are uncontrollable curses from time to time, and the maids standing outside the room are trembling in fear, for fear of accidentally touching something bad.
"That old bastard! That little slut!" Little Gu was so angry that her heart and lungs ached, she leaned on the couch and cursed in a low voice, her breath was choked in her chest, so uncomfortable that she couldn't even sit comfortably.
Mother Su advised her from the side, "Ma'am, be careful that the walls have ears. If the old lady overhears, I don't know how to trouble you."
"Let her hear it!" Little Gu cried, and said aggrievedly, "Is she still my own aunt? She has ignored me for so many years, and now she even gave Shen Ziqiao the family heirloom. What do you mean? Don't you want to admit that I am a daughter-in-law?"
"It may not be the jade pendant, maybe it's just a similar brocade box." Mother Su sighed in her heart, if the wife hadn't been anxious to marry the Duke of the country, how could such a tragedy have happened, and the old lady was chilled by her heart . No matter what you think, it's a matter of course.
Little Gu said bitterly, "That's the jade pendant!" Immediately, she sat up straight. "What do you mean by old madam? Do you want to hand over the family's wealth to Shen Ziqiao?"
Su's mother was also surprised when she heard the words, "No way, how can the eldest young lady be able to host the middle feed."
"The old lady wants to flatter her, even if she is an idiot, no one dares to say anything. I really don't know why she likes her, just because Qi Zheng likes it? So should his whole family like it too?" Little Gu asked gnashing her teeth. .
Mrs. Qi's most beloved grandson was originally Qi Zheng, and it was even more normal to love Wu and Wu.
Little Gu suddenly laughed, "So what if you are in love now? Can you stay like this for the rest of your life? It's a common problem for men to like the new and dislike the old. Now that she is newly married, she is naturally regarded as a treasure. In a few days, she will be even more beautiful like a flower." I'm afraid I'll forget who is my wife."
Mother Su's heart skipped a beat, "Ma'am, what do you mean?"
"Let Rouge and Yanhong go and serve our Young Madam." Little Gu said.
"Ma'am, the young master's side... It's not easy for those people to get in." Mother Su said, if it was that easy. It has been inserted in a long time ago, after all those people before have been driven out. If you want to install it again, you really can't find a chance.
They all underestimated Qi Zheng before.
"There was no way to do it before, but it's different now." Xiao Gu laughed very unhappy.
After thinking about it carefully, Mother Su understood what Xiao Gu meant, and couldn't help laughing.
…
…
"Old madam, now that the young master is married, and the emperor has made him a general of Hussars, you can rest assured now." Mother Tian helped old madam Qi to lie down and rest, and watched the old madam take care of her husband from yesterday to today. With smiling eyes, she became happy.
Mrs. Qi said with a smile, "You don't know, I haven't had a good time these days. I know he is pretending to be stupid, but I can't say it out. Seeing him being wronged so much, I... I feel like my heart is being crushed." gone."
"The young master and the young lady will be fine, you, just wait to hold your great-grandson." Mother Tian said.
"I'm not worried that brother Zheng will have a bad life, I'm worried about Ruzhen." The smile in Madam Qi's eyes was replaced by sadness.
Ruzhen is the little Gu family.
Mother Tian persuaded in a low voice, "You are worried that Madam will treat the young lady..."
"She is Concubine Sun's cousin, and now the Gu family has close contacts with the Sun family, but brother Zheng is the queen's nephew." The queen and Concubine Sun have always been at odds, and this is no secret.
The Sun family has been secretly trying to pull the crown prince down from the position of crown prince, while the queen wants to find out the faults of Sun Guifei and the third prince. The treacherous battle in the palace has extended to the outside of the palace.
If you don't know how to protect yourself wisely, you will only be the one who suffers in the future.
"Old lady, don't worry, the Duke knows how to avoid these troubles." Mother Tian persuaded, "The young master is not an impulsive person, he will definitely think twice before acting, if he really wants to participate Among those things, I won’t keep pretending to be stupid all these years.”
"What you said is that our brother Zheng is a smart person." The old lady laughed again.
Mother Tian said, "You should rest quickly."
Only then did Mrs. Qi close her eyes and fall asleep in peace.
The golden crow fell to the west, the cold winter wind howled, and the doors and windows cracked.
Shen Ziqiao woke up from her sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Zheng who was sitting next to her reading a book. He seemed to hear the movement, and was looking at her with a smile on his eyes, "Are you awake?"
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Shen Ziqiao sat up hugging the quilt, not knowing how long she had slept.
"It's windy, I'm afraid it will snow soon." Qi Zheng hugged her into his arms, "Did you sleep well?"
Shen Ziqiao smiled, "Well, I'm full of energy."
Qi Zheng's eyes lit up, "Really? Then, do you still feel uncomfortable there? I'll give you medicine again, okay?"
It's better soon, so he doesn't have to hold back.
Shen Ziqiao gave him a hard look.
Qi Zheng hugged her in his arms and rubbed her vigorously a few times, liking her tightly in his heart.
"Ah—" Shen Ziqiao pushed him away with a smile, and the two of them hugged into a ball. After two or three strokes, Qi Zheng pressed her under him.
"Get up!" Shen Ziqiao yelled hastily, "I still have to go to say hello."
Qi Zheng was lowering his head to kiss her, but when he heard her words, he raised his head again, "Who are you going to say hello to? The old lady just sent someone to say that the weather is bad at the moment, so there is no need to go there."
"Father and mother..." Shen Ziqiao reminded in a low voice, although she doesn't like little Gu, but today she heard the meaning behind what little Gu said, as if she wanted her to look carefully, otherwise she would be hanged. The charge of unfilial piety.
"I'll talk about it over there. When I get back to the door tomorrow, I'll tell the old lady to let us move out." Qi Zheng patted her head, he wanted to see her live freely, I don't want her to be suppressed by others, let alone see her being wronged.
Shen Ziqiao kissed him on his thin lips, "Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Grandma is getting old. If she knows that you want to move out, she will definitely be sad. Let's take this matter for a while, Qi Zheng, don't worry I will be wronged, others make me wronged, I will make the other party wronged even more."
Qi Zheng pursed his lips tightly, as if he had made up his mind.
Shen Ziqiao hugged his waist, "By the way, I haven't seen the gift my grandmother gave me yet."
She threw off the quilt, ran out of bed barefoot, took a sandalwood box from the dressing table, and said happily, "Everything you gave today is here."
Qi Zheng's face darkened, he strode over and hugged her horizontally, staring at her with displeasure, "In such a cold weather, you still go barefoot on the ground without even putting on any clothes! What if you catch the cold? ? Such a big person, but still like a child."
Taught her a lesson!
Shen Ziqiao muttered softly, "Didn't the earth dragon be burned? I feel quite warm."
"Still making excuses?" Qi Zheng stared at her.
She is not afraid of him at all! Shen Ziqiao smiled and kissed him a few times, "Okay, I won't be like this from now on."
Qi Zheng hugged her back on the bed, saw her hugging the box, and smiled angrily, "Didn't you want to show me? Are you still hugging so tightly?"
Shen Ziqiao took out all the meeting gifts given by Mrs. Qi and An Guogong.
Seeing the hairpin that Xiao Gu gave him, a cold light flashed across Qi Zheng's eyes.
"What a beautiful jade pendant!" Shen Ziqiao exclaimed, and showed Qi Zheng the palm-sized jade pendant. The jade pendant looked like jade but not jade. You can see that this piece of jade is absolutely priceless.
Qi Zheng looked at this piece of jade in surprise, he thought it belonged to Xiao Gu's.
"This is... our family's family heirloom. I saw it at my mother's place." At that time, his mother told him that she would give this jade pendant to his daughter-in-law with her own hands.
Unexpectedly, the old lady gave this jade pendant to Shen Ziqiao.
"A family heirloom, it must be very precious, Qi Zheng, is it okay to give it to me?" Shen Ziqiao asked cautiously.
Qi Zheng smiled and said, "If you give it to you, it's yours. What's the problem?"
Shen Ziqiao put it away carefully, and then opened the purse given by Lord An, also dumbfounded, this...all five hundred taels of silver bills, counted, there were twenty.
"It's too much..." Shen Ziqiao asked strangely, "Your family is really rich."
"Put it away!" Qi Zheng said flatly, as if he didn't feel much about the bank note given by Duke An.
Shen Ziqiao felt that her recent income was really good, she should be a little rich woman.
Seeing the little wife suddenly holding the small box and giggling, Qi Zheng's heart was swept away because of Mr. An's unhappiness about those bank notes, and he couldn't help lowering his head and pressing her lips.
