Step on a branch

In the afternoon of spring, the warm wind is comfortable.

Qin Yuan, who was full of small purses, was not idle, and took Qiaoyu to go shopping together.

Although the two are a few years apart in age, their relationship is very warm.

Qiaoyu deliberately glanced at Qin Yuan's purse, jokingly said the emperor's excuse in the early court: "help you earn dowry money."

"The money for the dowry and the money for the engagement ceremony are not all money." Qin Yuan laughed loudly, "It's all mine, they're all the same."

Qiaoyu couldn't help laughing.

Qin Yuan said again: "Brother-in-law is not ashamed, but no one can expose him. If Ah Miao was in the hall, he would just say, 'Only brother-in-law, you still think that second sister can marry', and the stage would be removed for him."

Qiaoyu almost collapsed on Qin Yuan laughing.

Out of breath from laughing, she reached out and pinched Qin Yuan's cheek.

My brother has a bad mouth.

Who doesn't have a bad brother?
Her previous home also had one.

Brother and sister, you tease me, and I laugh at you, it's lively.

Of course, those words will not be taken seriously, nor will they be taken to heart, so as not to hurt the relationship between siblings.

Qin Yuan was also laughing and joking when she "complained" about her younger brother, Qiaoyu could see that she didn't mind Qin Miao's jokes at all, and of course she didn't need someone around her to enlighten her.

"I actually think," Qiaoyu said with a smile, "the nobles all over the capital can be counted in the eyes of Miss Qin Er. You can't even count them with one hand. It's really difficult for you to look down on them." marry."

Qin Yuan nodded approvingly: "They can't beat me."

Qiaoyu couldn't help laughing again.

Look, with Ah Yuan's state of mind, she is all focused on practicing martial arts, and it's still too early to get married.

Seeing that Qiaoyu was overjoyed, Qin Yuan asked, "What about you, what about you?"

Qiao Yu blinked.

Her situation is different from Qin Yuan's.

Qin Yuan is marrying, but she is recruiting a son-in-law.

It's not that she doesn't want the Lin family to be here, or the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, but Qiaoyu really doesn't want to be her mother.

In the past few years, they have been getting along with each other as masters and servants, and the time they have really been mothers and daughters is too short.

There was no one else in the family, and when she left the cabinet and went to someone else's house, and let her mother guard the empty Duke's Mansion, she could not rest assured and could not bear it for the next few decades.

She doesn't care about being an old girl. It doesn't matter if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life. She wants to stay in the Lin family and accompany her mother until she grows old.

But if that's the case, with the mother's temperament, I'm afraid she will feel guilty for "dragging" her down.

Recruiting a son-in-law can satisfy her wish and make her mother happy.

It's not easy to just choose a candidate.

Character is the most important thing, and it also needs to be capable, not to mention being able to bear the prestige of grandfather and father, but it can't be an embroidered pillow, and the whole child is idle.

As for whether it is civil or military, it is all possible.

However, with such a background, how could Haoerlang be willing to marry easily?

If he is willing to make this marriage with her sincerely, it is probably because of his feelings.

It's rare to have a lover.

Qiaoyu is very clear about these situations, and understands that she cannot force them.

"Wait," Qiaoyu said with a smile, "this kind of thing, the right time, the right place, and the right people, can't be rushed."

These words touched Qin Yuan's heart.

After visiting a few shops and playing around all afternoon, the two were ready to go home.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road, and Qin Yuan was about to get into the carriage when he saw several fast horses passing by.

After a closer look, she still recognized them all.

"Captain Feng." She greeted.

Feng Jing also saw her, and hurriedly dismounted to salute Qin Yuan and Qiao Yu.

After Zhao Fan ascended the throne, Feng Jing awarded him the rank of Liupin Zhongxian Captain, and returned to the Chiyiwei. Although he was still a school order, but with a martial rank, he was the one who could talk to the emperor, not just a few years ago. The little stunned boy who had just entered the officialdom turned green.

He is not on duty today, and he is dressed plainly, with a sack tied to his horse's back.

Seeing Qin Yuan looking at the cloth bag, Feng Jing said: "Last night, I went to the palace to answer. I heard that the empress dowager and empress are thinking about spring bamboo shoots. It seems that when they were on the mountain, they would dig bamboo shoots together at this time of year. The emperor knows that I am here today. Rest and let me dig some fresh ones."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is used to borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Of course, this is also impossible.

If it weren't for the fear of the old people's nagging, Zhao Fan would have gone to the mountains with his mother and wife to look for bamboo shoots by himself.

The bosses have been "troublesome" recently about accepting or not accepting concubines, that stubborn emperor, why don't he behave a little better?
"I've scoured a lot," Feng Jing said, "Second Miss and Princess, I'll share one point, and the two of you can take it back to the mansion to try something new?"

Qin Yuan was not polite to Feng Jing: "Then I will also borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Qiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Did you meet Captain Feng at Feimen Pass before?" Qin Yuan suddenly remembered this incident and asked Qiaoyu.

Qiaoyu recalled and shook her head.

Feng Jing said with a smile: "When you guys arrived at Feimen Pass, I was preparing for the battle at Mingsha Pass. When I was waiting for the class teacher, I went to Qiyang with the army, and the Princess and the old lady went to Xizhou City, and we did not meet each other. "

"Yes, I lived with my mother in Xizhou for a while."

"That's great," Feng Jing said, "After Xizhou surrendered, I was with the others and escorted General Yu Bai and others back to Feimen to close the gate. I didn't take a good look at Xizhou City."

Qiaoyu heard what he said, and asked: "The captain followed him to Xizhou City?"

Feng Jing scratched his head in embarrassment.

After returning to Beijing, many people asked him this question.

They all thought that he was so young and bluffing, that he just stayed in Feimenguan to defend, and he had never fought on the front line.

Feng Jing didn't shut up, he would talk about all kinds of things about him on the battlefield, and if he talked a lot, he would naturally believe him.

He is not a person who does not know how to take credit, not to mention among soldiers, red guards and other brothers, even with the emperor, he dares to say it.

However, in front of the girl's house, his face suddenly became thinner.

Bragging about himself, even if he was telling the truth, he was dumbfounded.

"He's quite powerful," Qin Yuan introduced Feng Jing, "He was responsible for the surprise attack on Yusha Pass and Mingsha Pass, and he was the one who called for battle outside Xizhou City and delivered the letter of persuasion to General Yu Bai. Martial arts are good, shall we compete next time?"

Feng Jingying is neither, nor should he be: "Second girl, I will be your poker friend, can I play leaf cards?"

Qin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Forget it, forget it, save your little salary to marry a wife later."

Feng Jing kept his money bag, divided the fresh bamboo shoots, and rode to the palace.

On the carriage, Qin Yuan looked at Qiaoyu with her cheeks propped up.

Qiaoyu asked her: "What's wrong?"

"You really want to marry my son-in-law," Qin Yuan said seriously, "you might as well think about Feng Jing."

Qiaoyu was taken aback.

"I know what you're worried about," Qin Yuan said, "There are really not many candidates who are suitable for family background, character, ability, and all-around abilities. You might as well ask your brother-in-law."

Knowing her good intentions, Qiaoyu teased, "Ayuan sees it quite clearly."

Qin Yuan said, "I'm not stupid."

Qiaoyu rolled her eyes with a smile.

Of course Qin Yuan is not stupid, she thinks about the people around her, she has a set of ideas.

That's right, I don't know when she will be able to figure out herself.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush.

Ah Yuan's age is several years younger than this old girl.
