Chapter 72

The right servant of the Ministry of punishment made such a fuss, the men in the family must have to make up for it again, and no one is in the mood to listen to her.

But if you go to the Hou's Mansion, Gu's family and Ning Shunhou are not on good terms, and her family's visits are not disgusting. After thinking about it, she might as well go out for dinner and find a place to chat when she comes out. A few words.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." In fact, Mrs. Gu didn't want to go back to the house so soon, so she was spared listening to what stupid things Ning Shunhou had done for Qiao Xunfeng, so it was rare for her to take time off.

After everyone agreed, they got into the carriage and went to the restaurant.

They were here for dinner, it was already past lunch time, and there were not many people in the restaurant, so there was no need to reserve a seat in advance.

Even so, Qiao Wenqing should go there first.

When all the female relatives arrived, the wing room had already been prepared, and the tea was added.

"Brother Qing is careful and prudent." After everyone sat down, Mrs. Zhang looked at Qiao Wenqing with a smile, "Waiting for Wenqing High School, I have to take the lead when talking about marriage. There happens to be a girl in my natal family."

A down-and-out Hou's mansion naturally wouldn't catch Zhang's eyes, but she took a fancy to Qiao Wenqing's bright future.

Qiao Wenqing turned sideways unnaturally, "Aunt."

Mrs. Zhang laughed, and it was considered to have been revealed.

When ordering food, Mrs. Zhang first asked Qiao Wenbing and Qiao Wenzhi what they wanted to eat, and then asked her own children, always being considerate of etiquette.

Because there is a daughter-in-law present today, the room is divided into seats.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Mrs. Zhang leaned back on the chair, always talking about today's events, "Look at the lady of the country, she was throwing a fuss about the banquet, but she kept her face the whole time, and just pretended that no one else was so rare to celebrate her birthday." generally."

Can't help complaining, the Duke's Mansion is really good, even the etiquette is not comprehensive, no one in the capital will hold a banquet like her, and even show faces to the guests.

And look at what he said, it seems that he is superior.

Mrs. Gu also nodded beside her, "Today also made me very angry."

After entering the table, they didn't say anything wrong, and it was also when they were listening to the play. They knew that they had called Qiao Guxin alone for questioning, and later that Mrs. Zheng dragged Qiao Guxin away again.

If it wasn't because of her upbringing, Gu Shi would have to say a few words to those two people no matter what.

"That's right, we can't figure out what this widow is thinking." Mrs. Zhang said it directly, ignoring the younger generation's presence.

Especially the longevity picture embroidered with hair seems to have a good meaning, but the more I think about it, the more frightened I feel.

This hair is a private thing. You can embroider a pouch for your husband and keep it close to you, or you can embroider a small thing next to it. On such a formal occasion, you always feel that it is not elegant.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something else, seeing that the children were almost finished eating, "You children may like to listen to what we women talk about, so it's good to go out for a while while you're at it. "

With Zhang's consent, Zhang's daughter-in-law didn't move, and the other four got up quickly.

After waiting for the children to go out, Mrs. Zhang pulled Gu, "Do you have any other ideas about this marriage?"

Mrs. Gu sighed, "I'll tell my sister-in-law, I don't want it in my heart, but after what happened with Lord Hou, I don't have too many demands, as long as I have a good character and understand right and wrong."

With these three things, I don't think it will be bad for the original wife.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "I'm afraid it may not be what you think. Seeing the embarrassment of Mrs. Guogong and Mrs. Shizi, if you really marry into their family, you will be at a loss."

Both of them are widows, if the young couple get along well, it might irritate them.

After the past, it is doomed, respect each other like ice.

It's not that she looks down on them, but it's human nature, especially when Zheng lost her husband at a young age, seeing the others singing in harmony, she thinks about herself falling cold.Aside from other things, who can bear it if she wipes two tears in front of you for nothing?

They are obviously an aboveboard couple, but their lives are like thieves.

Hearing what Zhang said, Gu was also worried, "It's just this matter, Lord Hou may not come forward."

After all, it was the marriage arranged by the old Marquis. If Ning Shunhou retired, he would definitely feel ashamed. If he was a loving wife and daughter, he might not be able to give up his face, but he was not.

Mrs. Zhang sighed for a long time, "So, it's just waiting for Brother Qing to go to high school."

On the other side, after Mrs. Zhang and the others went out, it happened that Shen Qiuhe also came to this restaurant.

As Shen Qiuhe said, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will not miss the son of the Duke of the State.

"Mr. Shen." After the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment arrived, he greeted first with a smile.

"Lord Ye." Shen Qiuhe cupped his fists and called the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to sit down.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice has a kind face with squinted eyes, completely without the airs of a minister and the hostility of the Ministry of Justice. He is wearing ordinary clothes today. With such a dress, if he walks on the street, he will be just an ordinary old man.

After the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sat down firmly, "Young Master Shen is really good at picking places. The dog often tells me that the food in this building is delicious. I have never lost my chance. Today, I can be considered to be in the honor of Young Master Shen."

After finishing speaking, he called Xiao Er to come up, carefully asked about the special features of this dish, and asked for money after asking, as if a majestic Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not have a lot of money.But today's meal was obviously invited by Shen Qiuhe.

Xiao Er was originally very patient, but the more he was questioned by the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the more his face became worse. He thought that the guest who came today was a distinguished guest, but now he looks like a poor person.

Shen Qiuhe glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, watching him keep talking to the mistress, just drinking tea beside him, waiting for a long time, seeing the mistress's expression getting more and more impatient, as if he might find a chance to leave at any time At that time, Shen Qiuhe cleared his throat there, picked out a few dishes and let Xiao Er go down, "Master Ye is sorry for my hard-earned money."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice turned the cup next to him, still with a gentle expression on his face, "No, you young people don't know how to live, and you will understand later, your salary is not enough to support a whole family, especially now, welcome a Parents should pay attention to what ten miles of red makeup, we are not a merchant, how can we have a lot of money?"

After talking for a while, he laughed again, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Shen is going to get married next year. In the future, he will have a few children and concubines. Life will be very fulfilling."

Shen Qiuhe narrowed his eyes slightly, he was really proud of such a life, but.

My heart couldn't help tightening, and then my face returned to normal, "As Lord Ye said, if you are not a merchant, you don't need to seek wealth everywhere. The court has enough money, and I don't know how there is Lord Ye. Such a habit of saving money?"

Without waiting for Minister of the Ministry of Justice to speak, Shen Qiuhe suddenly lowered his voice, "Could it be that a few days ago." He raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Caishikou, "Can't fill the hole in Master Ye's mansion?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment came but didn't mention a word of business, Shen Qiuhe simply pointed it out.

A few days ago, an official family was killed, how much money was stolen from the house, and how much was handed over to the treasury, Dali Temple already has a count.

Hearing what Shen Qiuhe said, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice suddenly laughed, "Mr. Shen is really a young man."

Then he slowly picked up the teacup, "It's just that Ye couldn't understand what Mr. Shen said."

This is to pretend to be stupid to the end.

Shen Qiuhe was not in a hurry, the two of them sat on their seats and sipped tea, "It's understandable that Master Ye didn't understand, after all, if the evidence is solid, today is not drinking tea in a restaurant."

As Shen Qiuhe said, he put down his teacup, and turned his head to look at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, "Speaking of which, I asked Mr. Ye to tell you something today. In fact, I am asking Mr. Ye to preside over the matter of making troubles in the government of our country because of the right servant."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice clapped his hands, folded them together, and said lazily, "I don't have the nerve to ask about your personal relationship?"

Hearing the obviously evasive words of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Shen Qiuhe suddenly laughed, one after another, as if he couldn't stop laughing, "Master Ye has a lot of things to do every day, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to such trivial matters. I'm really right."

Shen Qiuhe lightly tapped the table with his fingers, "I was afraid that Mr. Ye would make decisions for your servant, and I was a little timid. Now that Mr. Ye has made it clear that he doesn't want to take care of it, I can rest assured."

After speaking, his hands stopped suddenly, "He made a big fuss about my mother's birthday banquet. Our government will not swallow this tone. I have already sent people to set fire to the house. When the servant Lord comes to the door later, I will ask Mr. Ye to look at it." The scene is lively!"

Upon hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice felt that all his guesses about his feelings were false, and Shen Qiuhe didn't have such deep plans, so he wanted to vent his anger.

The eyes of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment turned cold, "Master Shen is indeed a young man."

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Shen Qiuhe said with a smile.

It's just that Shangshu Xingbu didn't have the heart to eat this meal, so he slammed the table and left angrily.

As soon as he left with his front foot, Wang Si came over with his back foot, "Master, the two dogs from the Ministry of Criminal Justice happened to bump into each other, and they left at the same time."

The servant's mansion suddenly caught fire. The right servant of the Ministry of punishment must have guessed Shen Qiuhe. Shen Qiuhe came to this restaurant to let out a message on purpose. .

What the world saw was that the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment disturbed the birthday banquet of the Duke's wife, and the son of the Duke's mansion directly set fire to the servant's mansion.

Both sides do not want to give in, what a big farce.

Shen Qiuhe took a night pearl as big as a rouge box from his sleeve, played with it in his hands, and handed it to Wang Si, "Smash it."

This bead should have been taken away by the Ministry of Punishment when it ransacked the house.

Shen Qiuhe sent people to sneak into Shangshu's mansion and steal it out. Compared with the things that Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is greedy for ink, this little night pearl is really inconspicuous, but so what, it can also attract the attention of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came here today, not only for the sake of the Duke of the State, but also to test himself out.

It's a pity that I didn't threaten to hide it, but instead made Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice confused about the truth and falsehood.

Shen Qiuheyuan is not hungry either, since the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has left, he is also ready to leave.

I didn't eat a bite of rice, but I didn't lose a penny.

The store owner, who was holding back his face at first, became happy at the moment. This is money for nothing.

After Qiao Guxin and the others came out, it was because of the hot weather, so she went to the tea stall opposite to drink a couple of herbal teas, but who knew, she happened to witness the scene where the right servant of the Ministry of Justice rushed into the door with someone angrily.

There were a lot of people in the criminal department, so they rushed over suddenly, and the guests who were about to leave after finishing their meal would be knocked aside, rushing forward like a domineering one.

Qiao Wenqing and the others were thinking about Mrs. Gu, so they were about to get up to take a look, but for some unknown reason, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment left in a hurry with someone.

"In broad daylight, is there any law left?" Qiao Wenqing was furious, especially because there were so many personal grievances.

"People from the Ministry of Punishment are arrogant." Qiao Guxin replied casually, seeing Qiao Wenqing's ugly face, and pulled Qiao Wenqing, "Let's go, let's go shopping."

Divert Qiao Wenqing's attention.

Qiao Wenqing hummed, no matter how much anger there was, there was nothing he could do about it. Whoever made the Holy Majesty set his sights on the Ministry of Punishment, even his grandfather couldn't touch them.

Perhaps it was because Shen Qiuhe gave Qiao Guxin a purse, and Qiao Guxin naturally focused his attention on the peddlers selling purses, "Now there are a lot of mosquitoes, we each have one."

Qiao Guxin stepped forward to choose, and Qiao Wenqing was gentle, so he picked a purse embroidered with bamboo for him.Qiao Wenbing has a flamboyant personality, so he matched him with a purse embroidered with Jinsong.Qiao Wenzhi was elegant, so she chose the elegant orchid for her.

And personally match the waist for the younger brothers and sisters.

"Big sister is all for us, and I have to think about myself." Sure enough, it was Qiao Wenbing who spoke first.

He walked forward with a smile, pulled up the stall very bluntly, picked out a purse embroidered with peonies and handed it to Qiao Guxin, "I see this is suitable for big sister."

Qiao Wenzhi stepped forward and took a few glances, "It's rare for the fourth brother to have good eyesight." He always minded, he was close to Qiao Xunfeng, so Qiao Wenzhi was not polite when he talked too much.

Qiao Wenbing is not a disadvantage, "Second sister's words are really interesting. It seems that when I have made a mistake in my eyes, if the second sister speaks out, I can correct it."

Qiao Wenzhi stared at Qiao Wenbing. She couldn't say anything about Qiao Xingfeng in the open, so she just snorted coldly, "I don't want you to talk poorly."

Qiao Guxin stretched out his hand and flicked Qiao Wenbing's forehead, "Don't bully your second sister."

After finishing speaking, she put the purse that Qiao Wenbing had chosen for her on her waist.

And Qiao Wenqing was beside him, and had already given the money to the peddler.

Qiao Guxin laughed beside him, she bought the purse, but Qiao Wenqing gave the money.

When Shen Qiuhe came out, he saw the four of Qiao's family at a glance, looked at Qiao Guxin holding the purse, and frowned unnaturally. If Qiao Guxin liked purses, didn't he already give her one?
Then Shen Qiuhe walked over without thinking.

Originally, Qiao wanted to lead them to the front study to have a look. Most of the purses are liked by girls, so he has to think about the two young children.

It's just that she had just taken two steps when she heard someone calling her Miss Qiao from behind.

Qiao Guxin looked back and saw that it was Shen Qiuhe, sighed slightly, then turned around, "Mr. Shen."

Qiao Wenqing was still a little angry that Shen Qiuhe said something ugly to Chu Han, so he deliberately ignored Shen Qiuhe.

But Qiao Wenbing didn't dare, for fear that Shen Qiuhe would be unhappy to tell about his going to the casino, so he shrank his head and remained silent.

If it weren't for Mrs. Gu insisting on taking them out, Qiao Wenbing wouldn't even want to come to today's banquet.
