Chapter 70 A token of love?

He took a deep breath secretly, forcing himself to calm down.

Then he raised his head slowly, his voice trembling involuntarily, "So, what does Mr. Shen mean?"

Listening to his own voice after speaking, Qiao Guxin wanted to bite off his tongue, he must be promising, and he couldn't get too happy when something good happened.

Shen Qiuhe opened his mouth, then sighed softly, "You don't have to be afraid, just pay attention next time, I will let someone teach you the rules after getting married."

Suddenly, a basin of cold water poured down.

She is afraid?What is there to be afraid of the resignation she was looking forward to day and night, it's so funny, when the dead man's head fell at his feet, he never comforted himself, but now he regards himself as a delicate and lovely little girl?
The eyes involuntarily turned cold, and the restless hand stopped, "Young Master Shen is really thoughtful."

Shen Qiuhe glanced at Qiao Guxin, seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, and shook his head lightly. She was indeed a little girl, and then took a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Qiao Guxin, "I got it by chance, and you match."

This pouch looks like a gourd, with flying butterflies embroidered on it. It is exquisite in workmanship, but the color is light and elegant. It can be worn on any clothes.

Nowadays, there are many mosquitoes, and the purse is convenient, and it is popular for ladies to wear them.

Seeing that Shen Qiuhe meant to give it to himself, Qiao deliberately took a step back in fright, and then waved his hands again and again, "This thing is too precious."

He casually found a reason.

One, a particularly far-fetched reason.

Seeing Qiao Guxin lose his composure, Shen Qiuhe's lips unconsciously evoked a slight smile, "Miss Qiao has sharp eyes, and she saw the jade pendant here at a glance, what a skill."

From the outside, it's just an ordinary purse, a few pennies each, so naturally it can't be regarded as expensive.

"This pendant was originally given by a nobleman in the palace. I see that it is suitable for you, so I will keep it for you." Shen Qiuhe stretched out his hand as he said.

There is only an inch away from Joe's original heart.

It's ridiculous to say that Qiao has served Shen Qiuhe all her life, and this is the first time she has received something seriously chosen by Shen Qiuhe.

Chosen, something she no longer needs.

It's just a little hypocritical to refuse now.

Qiao Guxin took the purse with both hands, "That's it, thank you Mr. Shen."

Shen Qiuhe withdrew his hand and put his back behind his back again, "Yes." He answered bluntly.

Shen Qiuhe said it was to see off Qiao's old heart, but he didn't really send it to the female seats. When he was not far away, he stopped and pointed to the front, "Miss Qiao just go straight."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Qiao Guxin said goodbye softly, and then led Nianxiang forward.

After watching Qiao Guxin leave, Shen Qiuhe turned around and left.

"Master, do you really want to give such an important thing to Miss Qiao?" When there was no one around, Wang Si lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

It took them a lot of effort to get this thing.

Shen Qiuhe nodded casually, "No one would have guessed that she would be wearing such an important thing."

"But." Wang Si was still a little worried, "Outsiders can't see the universe of this purse, what if Ms. Qiao didn't take care of it properly?" The consequences would be disastrous.

Shen Qiuhe shook his head without thinking, "No."

She must not be such a woman.

I couldn't help but think of Qiao Guxin's terrified action just now.

Sure enough, she was still a little girl.

On the other side, Qiao Guxin led Nianxiang and walked a few steps towards the female relatives, but instead of going back, she turned left.

She didn't need to look back, she also knew that Shen Qiuhe behind him would definitely not look at him for so long, that person was not a long-term lover.

Going to the left, there is a lake on the side of the Duke's Mansion. The sun is shining now, and there is no place for shade here. There is only Qiao Guxin on the long bridge on the lake.

When Qiao Ruxin was walking in the middle, he took out the purse and threw it down without hesitation.

The water in the middle is deep, unless it is deliberately salvaged, this purse will never have a chance to see the sun again.

"Girl." Nian Xiang was taken aback, and quickly looked around, for fear of being seen.

Qiao clapped his hands sincerely, and walked back as if nothing had happened, "I can't accept this matter of giving and receiving privately, if he does it."

After all, this world is so harsh on women.

There is nothing wrong with these words, but Nianxiang is thinking about it, Shen Qiuhe said that it is something from the palace, and he doesn't know if there will be any troubles in the future.

Just thinking about it, the things sent out are like water poured out, there must be no reason to return them.He patted his chest to calm himself down.

Qiao Guxin started the banquet shortly after returning, men and women always had to separate, Qiao Guxin led Qiao Wenzhi to the table, and some familiar girls came forward to say hello.

Today is the banquet of the Duke's Mansion, and everyone will look at the people of Qiao's family. In fact, Qiao Wenzhi doesn't need to do anything special. Seeing her and Qiao deliberately coming over arm in arm, wearing the same busha on her head, the wives feel in their hearts. Then there are a few.

"This is Sister Zhi, right? It seems that the days have passed, and she has grown a lot taller." Even the aunt Zhang was stunned when she saw the steps on Qiao Wenzhi's head, and then pulled Qiao Wenzhi over affectionately.

"Aunt." Qiao Wenzhi hurriedly joined Qiao Guxin to call for someone.

"Sister Zhi'er is only one year younger than Sister Xin, just at the age of running around." Gu Shi answered with a smile beside her.

Qiao Guxin just passed the age of Ji this year, so it seems that Qiao Wenzhi will reach the age of Ji next year, and everyone knows that it is the age to see Qiao Wenzhi's husband's family.

"Sister-in-law Ann." The adults spoke, and Qiao Guxin led Qiao Wenzhi into a seat. In front of her was Zhang's daughter-in-law, Hu's grandson-in-law.

"The two younger sisters." Hu replied with a smile, but she was a bride and was not familiar with the two girls, so she just said a few words on the occasion.

Just as the wife of the son, Mrs. Zheng, and the wife of the Duke, Mrs. He, came in, "Mother-in-law is not well, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

Everyone also knew the situation of the Duke's Mansion, so how could they argue with the two widows, they all smiled.

Mrs. He sat in the main seat, and Mrs. Zheng sat under her.Mrs. He twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to deal with everyone, but she hadn't dealt with outsiders for four years, and she didn't seem to know what to say. She looked sideways at Mrs. Gu who was not far away, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for some years, You are the same as before."

"How can it be the same, the children have grown up, I dare not look in the mirror all day long, my face is full of traces of time." Gu responded with a smile.

The main reason is that Mrs. He is too old, and at other people's birthday banquets, she always has to take care of what he thinks in her heart.

Seeing Gu's smile, He twitched the corners of his mouth symbolically, "You're still young." When you deal with it, it's always not as slippery as before.

Looking at the bustle and bustle in front of her eyes, she couldn't help thinking about what it would be like if her husband and eldest son were there.

Seeing that He's expression was wrong, Mrs. Zheng stood up quickly.

"Today's mother's birthday, the birthday gift my daughter-in-law prepared early, is not expensive, but it is my daughter-in-law's heart." With a smile on her face, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have a little joy when she spoke. A bit of joy was added to the birthday banquet.

Xu is that the eldest daughter-in-law is indeed a big face, Mrs. He twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a more sincere smile than before.

Mrs. Zheng clapped her hands, and the person below her came up to her.

Mrs. Zheng stepped forward and removed the red silk covering the top, revealing a neatly folded birthday picture inside. Under the gaze of all the people, Mrs. Zheng opened the picture.

This is an extremely delicate embroidered picture of a hundred longevity. The red background is embroidered with gold thread, and each character of longevity is embroidered with black thread. It seems to shine when the sun shines in, and the stitches are smooth, isn't it? The usual rolling embroidery looks like it was printed.

The wives all came over curiously, "Where did Mrs. Shizi get the embroidery thread, I have never seen it before."

No matter how good the smudge is, it cannot be shiny, and even if it is shiny, it cannot make such a thin line.

Even in the palace, I'm afraid I can't find such delicate embroidery thread.

Mrs. Zheng pursed her lips and smiled, "Where did you buy the embroidery thread? I only use these three thousand blue colors to express my wish that it will never fade."

After Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this was embroidered with hair?It really is a heart that never fades.

I don't know how Zheng Shi came up with it, the whole capital is afraid that this is also the first person.

Then, all the people looked at Zheng's temples in unison, and they didn't know how much hair was needed to embroider this picture of a hundred longevity.

He raised his hand to touch the picture of a hundred longevity, and then said, "You have a heart."

Mrs. Zheng asked people to put away the birthday picture and sat down again, "My daughter-in-law knows her mother's thoughts, and she looks forward to it forever."

This prosperous age will always exist, and so will the people in front of us.

Mrs. He could no longer bear the suffering of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man.

The people above were chatting, Qiao Guxin turned his head and asked Qiao Wenzhi in a low voice, "Second sister may see, what kind of embroidery is this?"

Qiao deliberately looked at it for a while, but didn't see why.

But she was also afraid that Qiao Wenzhi would not know, so she kept her voice extremely low.

"If I'm right, it should be Lu embroidery." Qiao Wenzhi was a good female worker, and when she saw Mrs. He take out the picture of a hundred years of life, she would look at it a few more times.

Hearing what Qiao Wenzhi said, Qiao Guxin immediately knew what he was saying. If Qiao Wenzhi was not sure, he might not have said it. He raised his voice slightly, as if casually chatting, "I often meet Suzhou embroidery, and Hunan embroidery is so fresh. Don't meet Lu Xiu."

Speaking of the female workers, Qiao Wenzhi's face suddenly brightened, "Eldest sister doesn't know about it, because the thread used in Lu embroidery is very thick, and the ladies in the capital mostly use delicate Hunan embroidery, and I saw it once in a while. "

Didn't say where I met.

It may be in the purse of a passerby, or it may be in a book.

They were chatting here, which naturally attracted Zheng's attention, "Girl has good eyesight, I am learning a technique that is not passed on, because the stitches of Lu embroidery are slightly flat, and I pay attention to the stability of the embroidery, and the requirements for embroidery are strict. The thread runs counter to him, and it requires the embroiderer to be highly skilled. I learned it for a long time before I got the fur, and I dare to take it out today.”

After hearing He's explanation, everyone looked at Qiao Wenzhi again.

It's all for He's knowledgeable enough to embroider the hundred-shou picture, but this young girl can see through it at a glance, so it can be seen that she is a formidable one.

Even if she is a concubine, she is favored by the mistress's sister, she is talented in her heart, and her behavior is restrained without losing her grandeur, which is a good thing.

For a girl from your family to come out, it doesn't matter where she has to compose a poem, or play a song to gain a reputation.

The girl's IKEA IKEA is what everyone likes the most, and it looks like it can live a life.

Qiao Wenzhi was not used to being stared at by so many people, so she couldn't help lowering her head. Qiao deliberately pulled Qiao Wenzhi's hand indifferently, and then said in a voice that only Qiao Wenzhi could hear, "Don't be afraid, we are good enough to be able to Deserving of a sweetheart."

She was also born in a famous family, so she will be nominated for Feng Zhaoan's gold list in the future, so she will not be regarded as a high climber.

The two sisters lowered their heads and chatted, and Mrs. Zheng looked at Qiao Guxin again and again, and then smiled slightly, "Look at Mother, Miss Qiao is a good friend."

She can tolerate the limelight of her concubine sister, so she has a heart.

Mrs. He nodded lightly, then looked at Mrs. Gu, "Xin girl is very popular with me."

Mrs. Gu felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, as if their family had a marriage relationship with the Duke's Mansion, but she didn't show it on her face, she just responded with a smile, "Xin girl does have a relationship with elders."

"That's not right, my mother-in-law has been thinking about her sweetheart all day long these days, and she thinks very much." Aunt Zhang immediately responded with a smile beside her.

Seeing that the sister-in-law and sister-in-law spoke each other naturally, Mrs. Zheng smiled beside her and said nothing.

Mrs. He glanced awkwardly at Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhang, and slowly moved her eyes away, but she stopped answering.

This meal is very interesting.

After the banquet, there was still a stage set up in the yard, and everyone got up and went over as if they had digested their food.

The men's seat is also used, and it happens to be together.

The courtyard was covered with shade, people on stage were singing, and people in the audience were watching while eating watermelon.

Seeing that the Duke's wife was not in a good mood, her eyelids drooped after sitting down for a while. When Zheng saw it, she asked the people below to cover her with a tulle to block the wind a little, and then she got up.

Originally, Qiao Guxin watched Qiao Wenqing and the others come out, and wanted to meet them and talk to them, but maybe because of something as disgusting as Qiao Xingfeng, she didn't have much interest in listening to the show.

Just got up, but seeing Mrs. Zheng approaching, Qiao Guxin had no choice but to suppress his emotions again.

"Do you like to listen to opera?" Mrs. Zheng took Qiao Guxin's hand affectionately and asked casually.

Qiao deliberately looked at the stage, not wanting to sing the part of drunk beating the golden branch, but felt that the woman was pitiful, and the status was noble, but she also chose to forgive after being beaten, but what if it was changed?Which of the concubines in the harem would dare to get drunk and beat the emperor?It was estimated that it would not take the next day, so it was pulled down and chopped up on the spot.

Qiao Guxin looked away, and said with a smile, "I've heard some with the elders, but I don't have my own opinion. It's not like whether I like it or not."

Zheng Shi pursed her lips and laughed, "Miss Qiao really has a good temper. I still remember that when I was your age, I couldn't sit still."

No matter how good this actor sings, how can it be as fun to go out and visit a rouge shop?
Seeing what Zheng said, Qiao Guxin just smiled, neither saying yes nor no.

Dignified and courteous, but clearly alienated.

Mrs. Zheng didn't care about Qiao's deliberate attitude, and still said warmly, "Even if I look at it now, it's very boring. Just now, I'm going to see Brother Yuan, lest he come out to make trouble, and keep letting the nurse and child Take it, I guess I have to miss me right now, Miss Qiao, do you want to be with me?"

After hearing Zheng's words, Qiao Guxin opened her eyes wide in surprise. She was going to see the child, so what did she do next?But soon his face returned to normal, "Mrs. Xie, but I guess the young master is about to take a lunch break, so I might meet him when I come over some other day."

Between words, there is resistance.

But Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but pull Qiao's heart, "Where can that monkey rest?"

Qiao Guxin has already spoken so clearly, but Zheng Shi is pretending to be confused, because she can push her nose to face, but Qiao Guxin can't speak so firmly.

Qiao Wenzhi was also speechless at the side, waiting for Qiao Wenqing and the others to come to ask, Qiao Wenzhi said angrily, "Mrs. Shizi dragged eldest sister to see the child."

I don't know what's so good about his little son.

Qiao Wenqing frowned when she heard this. First, Mrs. Guo Gong invited Qiao Guxin to talk, and now Mrs. Shizi dragged her to see the young master. Qiao Wenqing always felt very uncomfortable.

"Miss Qiao is kind-hearted, and anyone who sees her likes her, which is a good thing." Chu Hanyin said with a smile, swinging the [-]-fold fan.

The atmosphere finally eased up.

As Zheng said, young people really don't like to listen to operas, so everyone found a quiet place to sit.

Without Qiao Guxin in front of her, Qiao Wenzhi said less. Even if Qiao Wenbing was deliberately teasing her there, she would always hum and agree casually.

Boom, boom.

Suddenly there was the sound of beating drums, which startled everyone, and those drowsy people who were listening to the opera also woke up with a jolt.

Everyone looked for the source of the voice together.

After a while, when the sound of the drum stopped, I saw the right servant of the Ministry of punishment leading people in.

"A rare visitor." Shen Qiuhe, as the current head of the Duke's Mansion, greeted him at the door.

"Mrs. Shen is celebrating my birthday, but Master Shen didn't post me a post. Could it be that you look down on me?" said the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and patted Shen Qiuhe's arm. He obviously had a smile on his face, but because he was wearing a black shirt , looked solemn.

The people on the left and right were carrying brocade boxes, and everyone had a cold look on their faces, as if they were here to hold a funeral instead of celebrating a birthday.

And to celebrate the old man's birthday, he always comes in the morning, and he comes here at this hour, obviously he is cursing people.

Shen Qiuhe stood in the middle of the road, without raising his eyelids, he gently twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mother's birthday banquet is just inviting relatives and friends, it's not a big deal, so Lord Wei don't mind it."

After all, the two of them are not relatives or friends, let alone good friends.

Most of the people who went to the banquet in the mansion also heard about the entanglement between Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. The eldest son of the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment was killed strangely. The culprit has not been found out yet, so he naturally couldn't swallow this breath.

Although Shen Qiuhe is currently suspended from the government, that is only the meaning of Dali Sicheng, and in name it is just that Shen Qiuhe has been tired recently and let him rest.It was just to avoid the people of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but in the eyes of the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Shen Qiuhe's punishment was irrelevant.

So, this is the trouble.

The right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice clicked his tongue twice, "Master Shen's words really made me very sad. I have come to celebrate my birthday with drums and gongs. Master Shen's words are not relatives or friends, but it really makes me feel very sad. The officer is embarrassing."

While talking, he raised his hand and asked someone to open the brocade box.

The congratulatory gifts prepared by the right servant of the Ministry of Justice were not expensive things, but boxes of chaff. After he said this embarrassingly, the people from the Ministry of Justice overturned the box, and the chaff flew all over the yard.

Seeing the arrogance of the people in the Ministry of Justice, everyone stood up, even the actors on the stage stopped.

When Mrs. Zheng heard that something had happened in the front yard, she left Qiao alone. She hurried over, and when she saw Mrs. He got up, she immediately went to help her.

Shen Qiuhe squinted his eyes and patted the bran on his sleeves, "It's too much to deceive people! When there is no one in our government?"

Then, he directly raised his hand and bowed his head, copying the guy.

"This lord came to congratulate the old man on his birthday, so the old man would naturally thank you, but if there is trouble, the old man is not afraid. I would like to ask the Holy Majesty, if you are allowed to come to insult our government?" He raised his voice, his own voice Her majesty.

The right servant of the Ministry of Punishment smiled disapprovingly, "Mrs. Guogong is serious, how dare the subordinate officials bully the Duke's mansion, it just hurt Master Shen's heart. But think about it, the subordinate is not the Marquis's mansion." People who are not familiar with Mr. Shen will not be familiar with Mr. Shen, and it is estimated that before next year, the lower officials will have to come to congratulate the old lady."

"Keep your mouth clean!" Chu Hanyin suddenly angrily reprimanded after the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment finished speaking.

What do you mean you can say congratulations again without next year? This is an insinuation that Shen Qiuhe and Qiao Gu secretly agreed to the song before they get married, and then there will be a result first?

Qiao Wenqing was also angry, but he didn't expect Chu Han to come out first, and hurriedly protected him behind him, "Master Wei, if you are talking nonsense like this, let's go to the Holy One to judge the truth!"

The right servant of the Ministry of Justice suddenly restrained his smile, and leaned over coldly, "Which little bastard was the one who spoke just now?"

Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hanyin took the folding fan and threw it directly at the right servant of the Ministry of punishment. It was a coincidence that he hit the right servant of the Ministry of punishment in the face with a random hit.

The face of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment turned ugly instantly, his eyes were full of killing intent, he suddenly raised his foot and walked over.

The people below saw the action of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and immediately started to do it.

People in the Duke's Mansion will never be idle.

All of a sudden, the front yard was in chaos.

The guests quickly stepped back and had a good birthday banquet, which was a complete mess.

When everything calmed down, everyone watched that the people in the Ministry of Punishment had been controlled by the people in the Duke's Mansion. Shen Qiuhe's foot was stepping on the face of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and the chaff fell on him. Floor.

Shen Qiuhe's face was indifferent, and he looked down at the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, "I don't want to accept such a heavy gift, after all, we are not familiar with each other."

Then let Wang Si lead people to sweep the ground clean, and finally collected a large pot of rice bran, and then let people stir it with hot water.

The right servant of the Ministry of Punishments moved, "Shen Qiuhe, you actually humiliated the court officials like this!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Qiuhe exerted more force, "Master Wei, the Duke's Mansion is never a place where you can be presumptuous."

Then he took a step back, before the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment recovered his strength, he was lifted up, and all the reconciled rice bran was spread on his body and head.

Now that the sun is shining, it will be done in a short time. The right servant of the Ministry of punishment only feels that his body smells like chaff.
