The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 194 Goodbye Qin Keqing

After explaining all the details to Nanny Chen, Concubine Zhang suddenly patted her forehead and said to Mu Xu, "Look at me, I just remembered to say this, I almost forgot to inform your parents and Yue's family."

Mu Xu replied, "I'll write a letter to Liaodong as soon as I get back. As for my father-in-law, it's not far away anyway, so I'll go there myself." Speaking of this, he saw Daiyu's expression moved, and quickly persuaded him , "No, you have a body, I dare not take you there."

Concubine Zhang also persuaded, "If you miss your in-laws, let Xu'er invite him to live in our house for a while, anyway, our family doesn't have so many rules." Daiyu immediately looked at Mu Xu expectantly, Mu Xu also thought that grandma's idea was good, so he nodded immediately.

Daiyu's pregnancy was an earthquake-like event for the Dongping Palace. After a while, everyone who knew about it came to Songhe Hall, and everyone gathered around Daiyu to care about her health.Seeing that there was no room for him to intervene, Mu Xu simply got up and went back to Chaohui Courtyard. First, he wrote a letter to his mother, ordered someone to send it to Liaodong, and then went out to Lin's Mansion.

When he arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Quan, the big housekeeper, welcomed him in. After asking him, he found out that his father-in-law Lin Ruhai didn't come back at noon, and he should still be working in the yamen. Get up and wait.

After about half an hour, I saw Lin Ruhai coming in a hurry. It turned out that Lin Quan was afraid that Mu Xu was in a hurry, so he sent a servant to the yamen of the household department to find his master.At this moment, Lin Ruhai didn't even take off his court clothes, and asked as soon as he entered the living room, "Why is my son-in-law here at this time, but what happened?"

Mu Xu bowed to her with a smile on her face, "It's a big deal, but it's just a happy event. It was found out today that Yu'er is pregnant, and it's been almost two months, so I came here to inform my father-in-law."

"Is this true?" Lin Ruhai was overjoyed when he heard it, and asked Mu Xu several times in a row. After confirming that it was true, he walked around the room several times excitedly, and suddenly said to himself, "No, I have to put this Just tell Miner the good news."

Seeing that he hadn't finished speaking, he walked outside, Mu Xu hurriedly grabbed him, pointed to his clothes and advised, "Father-in-law, you have to change into your court clothes."

As soon as Lin Ruhai was reminded by her son-in-law, she also realized that it was not right, so she went back to the back house and changed into regular clothes. Then she and Mu Xu went to burn incense for Jia Min, and told her the good news of Daiyu's pregnancy in front of her spiritual tablet. up.

After finishing all this work, Weng and his son-in-law returned to the flower hall in the front yard, and Mu Xu asked him to stay in the mansion for a while, Lin Ruhai only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.He knew that although it was a bit inappropriate to do this, but he was such a precious girl, how could he take care of so much.Immediately, he ordered his servants to prepare some belongings, and told the butler Lin Quan to take care of the house, and followed Mu Xu to Dongping Palace.

When they arrived at Dongping Palace, Lin Ruhai followed Mu Xu to pay respects to Concubine Zhang, and then in the courtyard prepared for him, he saw Daiyu who was instructing his servants to arrange the furniture.When father and daughter met, they naturally had a lot to say, and Mu Xu didn't bother them, and after telling Daiyu not to work hard, he got up and went elsewhere.

Because of Daiyu's pregnancy, Mu Xu didn't go out for more than a month, and even Tu Rui asked him to go hunting repeatedly, but he refused.During this period, a small incident happened in Beijing. A Hanlin surnamed Mei was dismissed and investigated for corruption and bribery. Apart from attracting the attention of a few interested people, this incident was like dropping a star in the river. Small stones did not cause any waves.

After three months of Daiyu's confinement, the imperial doctor diagnosed that her body was normal, and the Dongping Palace released rumors that their eldest concubine was pregnant.Friends and relatives who heard the news began to visit the house one after another.

On this day, just as Mu Xu sent off Liu Xianglian and his wife who came to visit Daiyu, someone from his family came to report that the Lord of Hepu County had arrived.Hearing this news, Mu Xu was inexplicably joyful, and rushed out to welcome Qin Keqing outside the Yimen Gate.

Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for almost a year, and when they meet again this time, they both have a sense of right and wrong.Looking at Qin Keqing's still beautiful face, Mu Xu adjusted his mood, and greeted her with a smile, "How is cousin?"

Qin Keqing looked at Mu Xu, and replied with a smile like a flower, "Of course I'm fine, I live quite comfortably every day, but why hasn't my cousin visited my cousin's door for a long time, did I forget my cousin?"

"What did my cousin say? How could I have forgotten my cousin." Mu Xu opened his mouth without thinking, and then he realized that he was a bit abrupt. After all, there are other people here. Having said that, cousin please come in quickly!"

Qin Keqing heard him reply so quickly, as if a string had been plucked in her heart, she pretended to be calm and said, "That's fine, I'll go see the concubine first, and then visit my siblings."

Looking at the two people walking in front side by side, they looked like a pair of Bi people, Qin Keqing's close girl Baozhu looked thoughtful in her eyes.Others don't know their young lady well, so they may not be able to notice anything, but Bao Zhu grew up with Qin Keqing, so she knows her very well.When Miss Cai was talking to the eldest son, the kind of joy from the heart was something that Baozhu had never seen before.

"Miss, don't be confused. Although you and that Jia Rong are only a couple in name, you are still a married woman in the eyes of outsiders, and this eldest son is also married." Worried, I plan to find a way to remind my young lady after returning home today, but don't do stupid things.

Mu Xu and Qin Keqing were naturally not clear. Baozhu, who was following behind at the moment, was worried that the two of them would do something irreversible. They talked and laughed all the way towards Songhe Hall. On the way, Mu Xu promised Qin Keqing that as long as he was free, will visit her.

When he arrived at Songhe Hall, he saw Daiyu was also here, and Mu Xu couldn't help wondering, "Didn't I just see a visitor, why did you come here again?"

Daiyu had met Qin Keqing before, and then she replied, "The weather is getting colder, I'm really bored to stay in the house by myself, so I came to talk to grandma."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about Yu'er. With Nanny Chen following her, there won't be any problems." Concubine Zhang said, and then she said to Qin Keqing, "Young girl Qin laughed, this kid has been pregnant since his wife became pregnant. , making a fuss all day long.”

Qin Keqing suppressed the sourness rising in her heart, and said in a half-truthful way, "What did the concubine say, my cousin loves my younger siblings. I don't know how envious I am when I see her. My daughter's family can meet such a sweetheart in this lifetime. It's not easy for a person who knows the cold and the hot!"

Concubine Zhang and Daiyu also knew about Qin Keqing's affairs, and at the moment, she only thought that she was feeling that she was not well-behaved, and didn't think about anything else.For a moment, she was afraid of bringing up more sad things for her, so she quickly changed the topic to another place.

But Mu Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words, he didn't know whether Qin Keqing said it unintentionally or meant something.He deliberately put on an attitude of listening to what they said, and turned his gaze to Qin Keqing's face.But Qin Keqing seemed to be aware of it, and nodded slightly at him. From the eyes of others, this behavior seemed to be that the intimate sister was satisfied with the performance of the younger brother, but Mu Xu didn't dare to think so.

He hurriedly moved his eyes to other places, coughed lightly, and said in the strange eyes of his grandmother and Daiyu, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do, so I won't talk with you."

The two of them didn't feel any difference, and Concubine Zhang said, "Go and do your own business, don't worry about what we women say. But please remember to come and send your cousin back later."

"Toffee, you're welcome. I don't live far away, so why bother my cousin?" Qin Keqing glanced at Mu Xu with a smile, and then replied.

Concubine Zhang spoke up for Mu Xu, "You also said that it's only a few steps away, so it's okay to let him escort you. After all, it's inconvenient for you to go out as a woman."
