Luo Wenyao came to Duanwang's mansion for the first time, and then she found that Ruiwang's mansion was much more refined and grander than Chengwang's mansion. She couldn't help but squeeze He Ming's hand, feeling a little distressed for the people walking by her side.
He Ming thought she was nervous, so he smiled at her, "Wait for what you like to eat, even if you tell the second sister-in-law, let's not save it for them."
"Even if you want to save it, you can't save it," He Heng smiled and led the people into the main hall. After everyone sat down, he said, "Your second sister-in-law has always been particular about food, clothing, and housing, and she can have it if she is there. What to save."
"My lord, does this mean that I eat too much?" Qu Qing Ju took the teacup from the maid and snorted when she heard this.
"I'll be happy if you eat and drink well, how can you be willing to dislike it," He Heng said with a smile, "Qian Changxin, go to the kitchen and urge them to bring the peanut cake that the princess loves, or your princess will be sold today. Don't forgive me."
"Nonsense, if you don't know, you think I'm Hedong Shi," Qu Qing Ju put down the teacup and laughed, "The fourth uncle and the fourth siblings are still here, you just want them to see me as a joke."
"Second sister-in-law, I didn't hear anything," He Ming continued with a smile, "Second brother and second sister-in-law are loving husband and wife, we are younger brothers and sisters, we are only happy, how can we joke."
Luo Wenyao smiled while covering the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. Although she did not speak, the original rigidity between the four of them gradually disappeared.
Qu Qing Ju could see that He Ming intends to get close to He Heng, and He Heng obviously accepted He Ming's kindness, so He Ming's attitude will be so casual. When it comes to dealing with people and things, He Heng said that the second, presumably No one dares to be number one.
Sure enough, the topic gradually turned to the previous assassination of He Ming, He Heng said with a teacup: "From my point of view, the assassination of the fourth brother has nothing to do with the third brother, but the third brother is absolutely inseparable from the Jiangnan case. "
He Ming nodded and said indifferently: "Since the father and the emperor don't pursue it, I don't have anything to think about, I don't have anything to do with me now, it doesn't matter who does it, just live a good life in the future. ."
Hearing this, Qu Qing Ju felt that He Ming was probably the least ambitious and the easiest to satisfy among the four brothers of the He family, but it must have been a helpless move. He Qi occupies the head, He Heng occupies a useful mother, He Yuan occupies the pet, what does He Ming have? The mother is not favored, the father does not pay attention, if he is in a bad mood, how will he live
Perhaps He Ming knew in his heart that He Heng's shadow was involved in these things, so he said that as long as the future is good, this is showing his attitude to He Heng, meaning that his younger brother wants to work with the second child
The peanut cake came up, Qu Qing Ju casually twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes fell on Luo Wenyao, and she saw that she was eating cakes without knowing anything.
Qu Qing Ju smiled, whether it was true or false, but this girl was not stupid, at least she was smarter than Qin Bailu.
"Life is always getting better and better," He Heng smiled, "Fourth brother has this idea, it's good."
He Ming smiled when he heard this, and even his eyes were stained with a very obvious smile.
A few people chatted a lot together, and when it was time for lunch, the four of them sat at the table, watching the maids bring the dishes. A punch that must be spicy and delicious.
Although there are mostly Shu dishes on the table, there are also some light dishes. Qu Qingju has never been resistant to these delicacies. She does not want others to serve her dishes in her own family. the process of.
The meat slices in the boiled fish are all selected from the most delicate part of the fish maw. The boiled meat slices must be taken from the live meat on the pork leg. The sauerkraut in the sauerkraut fish is even more old-fashioned sauerkraut, which makes people salivate when they smell the fish. The head tofu soup is rich and delicious, the braised tendon is smooth and smooth, and there are some light dishes such as shiitake mushrooms and fried wild mushrooms. Qu Qingju eats an extra bowl of rice.
Qu Qing Ju would never eat less than a bowl of rice to maintain her image in front of He Heng. After she ate two bowls of rice gracefully but not slowly, she rinsed her mouth and washed her hands. Finally, she slowly wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at the table full of people. Cai, said regretfully: "Let's eat hot pot in the evening, the four of us eat more lively."
Luo Wenyao knew the hot pot, but she seldom ate it at home before she left the court, because the family felt it was indecent to cook in a pot, and when she heard the second sister-in-law mention it, she was a little moved, and she couldn't help but ask, "It's Mandarin duck soup. Is it?"
"Of course, if the moonlight is good tonight, we can put a pot in the moon-viewing pavilion outside and enjoy the moon while we eat. We don't pay much attention to what we eat, don't talk or sleep, and tell some interesting stories. It's so lively. "Qu Qingju feels that hot pot is just a matter of bragging, and life without these hot pot meals would not be perfect.
He Ming didn't expect that the second sister-in-law would be like this in private. He glanced at the second brother in surprise, and found that his eyes fell on the second sister-in-law, and his face was full of smiles. He realized it at this moment.
"Okay, since that's the case, the fourth younger brother and fourth younger sister should not go back tonight. After dinner, they should stay at the mansion. It just happened to be lively and lively," He Heng called Minghe and told him to let the people in the kitchen go. Prepared things, and added another sentence after explaining, "Prepare more wild mushrooms."
"Yes," Ming He knew that the princess likes to eat all kinds of mushrooms, and the prince loves the princess.
"Brother and sister, it's your first time here, why don't you go for a walk together? You've just eaten your meal, you'll get fat if you sit for a long time," Qu Qing Ju smiled and stood up, leaving a space for the two brothers of the He family to talk.
"Then there is a second sister-in-law Lao," Luo Wenyao stood up according to her words, and followed Qu Qingju out of the main hall. She also understood that the prince was only afraid to talk to Duan Wang about important matters.
He Ming watched his wife go out with his sister-in-law, and then said, "Second brother, the second sister-in-law's family..." Changde's mansion hooked up with He Yuan, even he knew it.
"She has a bad relationship with the Qu family. She has suffered a lot in the Qu family over the years," He Heng frowned, referring to the time when the Qu family was not in a good mood, "You don't need to be in the manor of Changde. Don't worry, your second sister-in-law won't care about that."
He Ming nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll let someone stab the matter between the Liang family and the Qu family."
"People like this should not have been kept long ago," He Heng recalled the grievances Qu Qing Ju had suffered in the Qu family, and said coldly, "Keep their lives, but live with nothing, it is better than dead. ."
Unexpectedly, the second brother hated the Qu family so much. He Ming was stunned before nodding. He remembered that the Qu family had a daughter who was a concubine in He Yuan's mansion, and said, "I don't know if the third brother will help."
"With the temper of the third child, is he someone who would take action for his concubine?" He Heng took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "He always likes others to be around him, when will he be around others?"
"Yes," He Yuan has always treated him arrogantly over the years, let alone a concubine, with a smile on his face, "The Qu family is pitiful."
After Luo Wenyao and Qu Qingju strolled around the garden, they followed to the main courtyard. When she saw the furnishings in Qu Qingju's house, she couldn't help but stunned, the priceless glazed lamps, the ingenious night pearls, and all kinds of exquisite ornaments. She heard that her grandmother mentioned that when Princess Duan got married, the Qu family did not add much dowry. She brought only the dowry from her biological mother when she was married to the manor of Changde, as well as the dowry from the Tian family and other relatives and friends.
Luo Wenyao's dowry is already rich, but the furnishings in this room are more expensive than those in her dowry, so she knows in her heart that these things must not belong to Princess Duan herself, but Wang Duan ordered for her . Thinking of the makeup gift that Princess Duan gave before her marriage, Luo Wenyao couldn't help but say, "Second uncle treats second sister-in-law so well."
Hearing this, Qu Qing Ju smiled softly, and pulled her to sit down by the window, which was facing a blooming magnolia.
"The fourth uncle is not very good," Qu Qingju looked at Luo Wenyao with a smile, "I see that it is really good for the fourth uncle to take you, so it can't be better."
Luo Wenyao smiled sweetly when she heard the words, but for some reason she felt that the word "true" mentioned by the second sister-in-law was a bit strange, she glanced at Qu Qing Ju hesitantly, and her eyes fell on the magnolia flower outside the window for some reason, " It's beautiful."
Many people in Beijing love to grow magnolias in their yard, because it is rumored that if magnolias are planted at home, life will become more and more beautiful. Some lovers also like to give each other magnolia flowers, borrowing magnolias to represent their sincere love.
Although Luo Wenyao didn't understand the truth of the matter, she believed that a man would spend so much energy looking for these things for a woman, no matter what, he had this woman in his heart. Looking at the faint smile on Qu Qing Ju's face, she hesitated and said, "People's hearts get along with each other slowly, and there is no clear line between true and false."
Qu Qingju's hand holding the tea paused slightly. She looked at Luo Wenyao, wondering if she was talking about He Ming or something else. She followed Luo Wenyao's line of sight and glanced at the magnolia outside the window, and said with a smile, "You're right, how can you easily distinguish between true and false, it is true if the days are better."
"Second sister-in-law is right." Luo Wenyao smiled and nodded, pointing to the magnolia outside the window, "Just like the magnolia flower, the days will naturally get better and better."
Qu Qingju blew on the tea noodles and glanced at the magnolia flower casually, suddenly remembering that He Heng had someone send a set of hairpin jewelry made of magnolia flowers a few days ago, but since He Heng had something to do, he sent something over. She has never worn this set of magnolia jewelry.
Thinking of this, she curled her lips, a good life is in the hands of people, can it be possible to live with just one flower
