Chapter 22 Disgusting Things
"Get up." Qiao Wenqing was not a harsh person either. Seeing that the boy was getting so nervous, he couldn't help but wiped his chin with his hand, thinking, could it be that there were some rumors coming after he hadn't been home for a long time? , I have become extraordinarily scary?

Hearing that the master didn't care about it, the servant hurriedly bent down to pick up the flower branches that fell on the ground, but because of shaking hands, the more they tidied up, the more chaotic they became.

Even though it was a little dark, the people below were still able to see clearly with the lights on, the branches with heels and a faint blue edge under the candlelight.

Qiao Wenqing froze for a moment, then looked at Qiao Guxin.

If it's the other side, he's a man, so he won't pay attention.It's just that the blue-edged peonies are rare, especially from the prime minister's house, so Qiao Wenqing knows this thing.

Thinking about it, Qiao was really happy at the beginning, and he would never give this flower away casually.

There are only two masters coming from this direction, one is the old lady and the other is the concubine who has never seen her face before.

The flower branches are not dry yet, and the soil on the roots is still fresh. Rather than being pruned, it is better to say that they have been uprooted, as if to vent their anger.

Naturally, the old lady couldn't do this kind of behavior.

Hearing Qiao Guxin's words, he was not happy with this concubine sister, and naturally it was impossible to give such a precious thing.

Qiao Wenqing withdrew his gaze, already thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't show it in the slightest.

Left and right, Ning Shunhou gave Qiao Xunfeng his own flowers. In Qiao's heart, those two pots of flowers should be regarded as dog feed.As for how the dog bites, I don't care about it.

The candle lamp was lifted up again, as if no one had paid attention to the episode just now, they were still talking and laughing, and walked towards the old lady.

The girls were already busy coming in and out, and when Qiao Guxin and Qiao Wenqing passed by, everyone had already gathered in front of the old lady.

"Grandmother." Qiao Guxin and Qiao Wenqing stepped forward to salute.

Seeing the two grandchildren, the old lady was very happy, and they were more energetic than the previous two days. She waved her hands to let the two children sit down, and then said with a smile, "Brother Bin said that he wants to try Enke this year, Brother Qing." What do you say?"

Qiao Wenqing is only thirteen this year, and he is fourteen years old, but he is favored by his wife, and he has a reputation in the capital. It can be said that the hopes of the Hou Mansion are placed on Qiao Wenqing, thinking that the Hou Mansion may also produce a champion. Lang.

The Holy Majesty has been enthroned for four years, and according to the previous habit, Enke was added for one more year after he was enthroned, but today the majesty has been waiting for peace everywhere before making the decree.

The Ministry of Officials drafted the decree only in the spring, and remote places with poor news may not be able to catch up, so this year's number of people should be less than previous years, and it is also a rare opportunity.

"Today I went to pick up my fourth brother. The master was full of praise for his studies, but I didn't hear so many praises when my fourth brother was so old. If the fourth brother is interested, he can definitely give it a try. As for me, I will obey Master, it’s okay to give it a try.” Qiao Wenqing was not overly proud of the prestigious reputation given by the people of the capital, but only spoke humbly, following the teachings of the sages and being respectful to brothers and friends.

The more courteous he is, the more people can see the elegance of the scholar. The old lady nodded her head again and again, and her face became much gentler towards Gu Shi, "Brother Qing is so promising, you mother, Contributed to it."

There is no reason for a mother to be unhappy when her child is praised, and said with a smile, "It's all the child's own efforts."

It's rare that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can speak a word calmly.

Qiao Wenbing went on to say, "Brother is humble, I will naturally follow my example, and one day I will be able to bring glory to our Marquis."

Third Yiniang looked at her son with a smile, although she was born as a concubine but the wife did not deliberately suppress him, he will be able to do something when he becomes an official in the future, she is full of joy.

A group of people chatted first, and then the people below got ready, and the old lady led them to the table.

The old lady took the main seat, and Mrs. Gu took the second place.Next came Qiao Wenqing and Qiao Guxin, followed by Qiao Wenbing, Qiao Wenzhi, and the second aunt and third aunt, according to the rules, they had to sit at the bottom.

Everyone sat down, Qiao Wenqing looked around, "Why hasn't father come here today?"

After Qiao Wenqing asked, the old lady's face immediately became unnatural, and she coughed a few times, "Perhaps it's because you are busy with business in the court, and your father is a little tired and has a cold, so I'm afraid he will overwhelm you. We didn't come to eat together."

Ning Shunhou is in good health, the older generation is particular about it, and the elders speak accurately, so we must not casually say that the younger generation is unwell, as if they are cursing.

But now, the old lady doesn't care, she can't say that your father only cares about Qiao Xingfeng, and if Qiao Xingfeng is unhappy, he has nothing to think about.

Hearing that the old lady made excuses for Ning Shunhou, Mrs. Gu curled her lips, but she didn't expose it.

But after hearing this, Qiao Wenqing's face darkened slightly, "Father is not feeling well, we should wait in front of him, how can we abandon father and enjoy the delicious food safely?"

The old lady didn't dare to go to see Qiao Wenqing, "It's all my family's rules. Besides, it's not a big problem. It will be fine in two days. Okay, hurry up and have a meal, and we can talk later after the meal is finished." .”

The old lady quickly changed the subject, not wanting to discuss Ning Shunhou any more.

Qiao Wenqing had just been dismissed here, and Qiao Wenbing next to him asked again, "I heard that a sister came to Yuancheng, why didn't I see her today?"

cough cough.

Before the old lady could speak, Third Aunt choked herself in shock.

While wiping the corners of his mouth, he didn't forget to give Qiao Wenbing a glare.

"Every one of you can't keep your mouth shut after eating, and you will see each other tomorrow." The old lady scolded impatiently.A lot of age, talking hesitantly, feel suffocated panic.

Qiao Wenbing glanced at his aunt, then pouted, but didn't say any more.

It was just a good meal, the big guys who ate were holding their breath, waiting to put down their chopsticks, the old lady excused being tired, and it was the first time that they left so quickly.

On the way back, Qiao Wenqing was obviously worried, and he didn't speak all the way.

Arriving at Gu Shi's courtyard, he didn't expect Ning Shunhou, who was supposed to be sick, to be waiting for Gu Shi right now.

Qiao Wenqing called his father in surprise, but he didn't ask about Ning Shunhou's condition.

Usually, every time Qiao Wenqing came back to Ning Shunhou, he would ask Ning Shunhou a few questions about his studies, but this time, Ning Shunhou had nothing to say, and nodded his head, followed by a long silence.

"Then father and mother rest first, and we will go back too." Qiao Wenqing said with a low head, and then retreated with Qiao intentionally.

In summer, only the wind at night can be a little cool, "Sister." He opened his mouth and called out, but he still didn't ask the next sentence.

Qiao Guxin rubbed the top of Qiao Wenqing's head, "You are also tired today, so take a good rest."

On the other side, Gu's room is full of candle lamps. She feels that the world is dark, and the weak candle light can't clearly see what is in front of you. It is a human or a ghost.

Hearing Gu's meaning, Ning Shunhou didn't get angry, he just sat down on the chair, then pointed to the chair in front of him, "Let's talk."
