Chapter 78 Choosing a concubine (1)
Believe he can really do it.

It's not that he must be more talented or smarter than others, but Shen Anqiu has a characteristic, that is, he will go all out for whatever he wants to achieve.

This is a fact that Yun Qingyin has been with him for a long time, a fact that he thought at first, but after going through various things with the passage of time, it has not been overturned and has been verified many times.

After Shen Anqiu returned to the county school, Yun Qingyin finished drawing the rest of the jewelry.

As winter entered, the days became shorter, and Shen Anqiu only left school when it was dark.

It was still sunny during the day, but in the evening there was snowflakes, spreading a thin layer on the ground, Yun Qingyin asked other people in the restaurant to go back early to add clothes.

Hearing the creaking sound of shoe uppers stepping on the ground, Yun Qingyin looked and saw a little radish head behind Shen Anqiu, "Why didn't An An go home?"

Feng An'an usually comes here at noon, and returns to Dingnan Palace at night.

Feng Anan tilted her head, "Mother and Brother Shizi said they would come over, so they asked me to come here with Brother Shen and wait."

"Did they say anything about it?"

Yun Qingyin didn't get the news in advance, she originally planned to have dinner with Shen Anqiu and then go to rest. The two of them can eat whatever they want, and if there are more people, they should prepare more.

Feng Anan scratched her head, "I forgot to ask."

Yun Qingyin laughed and rolled up her sleeves, "It's okay, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"Okay, I want to eat little goldfish."

The so-called small goldfish is just fried dough.

"it is good."

Yun Qingyin entered the back kitchen.

Shen Anqiu put down the book bag, told Feng An'an to play by herself, and followed her in to help.

"What about the rest of them?"

"The temperature dropped at night, so I asked them to go back early. I don't know if Feng Jingyun and Aunt Lan have eaten later, so let's prepare first."

Yun Qingyin thought of a method with the shortest preparation time and the best way to satisfy everyone's preferences, that is hot pot.

"Shen Anqiu, help me move the stove outside, we will eat around the stove in a while."

Shen Anqiu rolled up his sleeves, "Okay."

"Be careful it's hot."

"Ah."

The carriage of Prince Dingnan's Mansion stopped slowly at the entrance of the restaurant. Aunt Lan got out of the carriage first, and Feng Anan rushed out, "Mother, Brother Shizi, you are here!"

Feng An'an came here after putting down her snacks, and she didn't even wipe her mouth.
Aunt Lan saw it and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, eat all over your face."

Feng Anan quickly wiped her mouth.

Feng Jingyun brushed off the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders and arms, "Go in."

Once it was warm inside, Feng Jingyun took off the cloak and put it on the shelf.

Shen Anqiu brought the washed dishes and put them on the table.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Aunt Lan said, "We came here at this time just to grab this meal. What are you doing?"

Seeing that the dishes were all raw, and the water on the stove was already boiling, separated by a curved iron plate, one side was clear soup and the other side was slightly spicy soup, Aunt Lan had never seen such a thing.

Yun Qingyin came out of the kitchen and added the prepared ingredients.

"I just realized that you came here and didn't prepare any dishes. You can just add whatever you like to eat, and you can eat it when it's cooked."

Several people felt very strange.

In fact, it's just a different way to eat, do as Yun Qingyin did, and get started quickly.

Although Feng Jingyun's cough is under control, it is still not suitable to eat too irritating food, so Yun Qingyin specially prepared clear soup for him.

Four people plus a little guy gathered around the small stove, letting the north wind howl outside, they were all warm here.

Shen Anqiu helped Yun Qingyin burn a piece of meat, Yun Qingyin frowned, "You eat too."

Feng Jingyun put down the cup with such force that Feng Anan, who was serious about eating, jumped in fright, turned his head to see what happened, Aunt Lan turned his head, "Eat yours."

Feng Anan: "Oh."

Feng Jingyun's eyes fell on Shen Anqiu who was opposite, "Mr. Shen's suit is pretty good."

Shen Anqiu smiled lightly, "I think it's good too."

Seeing that the two of them were about to get along with each other again, Yun Qingyin quickly changed the subject, "You guys came here suddenly today, what's the matter?"

Feng Jingyun said, "It's just a meal."

Aunt Lan added, "Isn't this the first snowfall today? My son and I came to have a look. It's not a big deal."

In the middle of the meal, Aunt Lan suggested whether to drink some fruit wine. This proposal was first agreed by Feng Anan's hands, but he was suppressed as soon as he raised his hands.

Shen Anqiu got up, "I'll go to the cellar to get it."

Feng Jingyun said calmly, "I'll go with you."

Feng An'an also clamored to go.

After the three of them left, Aunt Lan said, "Actually, there is another matter. Last time the prince entered the palace, he wanted to investigate the case of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, but it involved two concubines in the palace. , the Ministry of Criminal Justice became even more timid, and did not want to continue the investigation, and the emperor did not want the scandal to be publicized, nor did he want the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate again, so the prince proposed to delay the marriage between the Dingnan Palace and the prince by two years. Our main reason for coming here is want to talk about it."

The purpose of coming here to tell her is to prevent Yun Qingyin from worrying too much.

Yun Qingyin had this guess when she heard Zhao Qinghan say this before, and now it is confirmed.

"The engagement has been postponed for two years, so the prince won't marry either?"

"Naturally it is impossible not to marry." Aunt Lan said, "Even the crown princess and even the future queen cannot delay the royal family's succession, not to mention that the crown prince has been waiting for our daughter in the Dingnan Palace for so many years, and he will not marry for another two years." It can’t be justified, so the emperor suggested that the crown prince’s side concubine be named first, and the list of each family has been selected by the Ministry of Rites and handed over to the queen, and the establishment of a side concubine was a matter of years ago.”

Yun Qingyin understood, "No wonder there are so many people buying jewelry recently."

"What jewelry?"

"Nothing." Yun Qingyin said.

Aunt Lan did not continue to ask further questions.

"One more thing. I heard that the Seventh Prince fell ill again after returning to the palace. It's strange to say that since the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, his health has been getting worse every now and then."

Yun Qingyin said, "I saw him a few days ago and saw that he was in good spirits, why did he suddenly get sick again."

"I don't know." Aunt Lan said slowly, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, this time the emperor was going to choose a side concubine for him and the prince, but he was ill, so the emperor didn't continue to mention this matter. "

At this time, Shen Anqiu and Feng Jingyun also came back, although Feng An'an was small, he was the only one holding the wine jar, Yun Qingyin really wanted to condemn the two older children for "abuse".

In this regard, Shen Anqiu and Feng Jingyun's rare united front gave the reason that Feng An An insisted on hugging, thinking that if he put in more effort to get the wine, he could get some wine in return.

Aunt Lan knew exactly what he was up to, and said, "I can only drink a small cup, and I can't drink any more."

Feng An'an nodded like a chick pounding rice. After Aunt Lan poured him a cup, he held it in her hand very preciously, and sipped it little by little.

Aunt Lan didn't touch it, Yun Qingyin, Shen Anqiu and Feng Jingyun all drank.

Before I knew it, more than an hour passed, and the food was almost consumed.

Yun Qingyin asked, "Are you full, do you want me to prepare some more?"

Feng Jingyun was already full, he looked at Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan said, "I'm almost finished eating too, let's stop here today."

Yun Qingyin and Shen Anqiu sent them to the door, outside there was already a thick layer of snow, the cold wind blew on his face like a knife cut, Feng Jingyun put on his cloak, and said to Yun Qingyin, "It's cold outside, hurry up go in."

"Ah."

The carriage left slowly.

Shen Anqiu went to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, Yun Qingyin helped him, and said to him when he saw the right moment, "Aunt Lan didn't intend to dismiss you on purpose, but she might need to be more cautious about some things."

"Ok, I know."

Listening to his tone, Yun Qingyin didn't know whether he was angry or not, and she didn't want to hide it from him, but she didn't dare to treat it casually when it came to the Dingnan Palace, but if Shen Anqiu wanted to know, Yun Qingyin could Said.

"I……"

Shen Anqiu washed her hands under the water, turned around, and stopped what she was about to say, "I have nothing to do with them, but because you are close to them, I also pay more attention, so I don't care what happens to them ,do you understand?"

Yun Qingyin looked up at him, nodded after a while, and gradually lost her focus on this matter.

"Shen Anqiu."

Shen Anqiu wiped his hands dry with a handkerchief, "Huh?"

Yun Qingyin licked her lips and found that her throat was a little dry, "I want to kiss you."

Shen Anqiu's hand to wipe the handkerchief froze.

By the door, two people stood, as if time stood still.

Yun Qingyin couldn't wait for him to answer, stood on tiptoe, and quickly touched his lips, the taste of fruit wine spread between the two people's lips, Yun Qingyin was about to back away, the next moment, Shen Anqiu snatched it back again, pressed He kissed her down.

It's deeper than a little taste, until Yun Qingyin can't breathe.

……

When lying on the bed, Yun Qingyin didn't feel sleepy at all, her brain was very active, she tossed and turned, and let out a wicked smile from time to time, afraid of being heard, she quickly covered her mouth tightly, and squatted under the quilt laughing non-stop.

And next door, Mo Feng came in through the window again, and rarely got some kind of warm stare from Shen Anqiu, "Yo, you're wearing new clothes, where did you get them?"

Shen Anqiu ignored it, and only gave him the account books that had been sorted out, "This is for the rest of the shop."

Mo Feng took it to look at it, and flipped through it. Although it is not as large as the fake accounts like bookstores and antique shops, it is still enough to make people angry.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink another day."

"Ah."

Mo Feng didn't leave immediately, "You really haven't met Young Master before, or did you know each other before?"

Shen Anqiu said, "It was indeed the first time I saw him that day. He is from the Xuanpinghou Mansion. Shouldn't it be normal that he has no interaction with me?"

"That's what I said, but the young master's mood was not right that day, and even Miss Shuangshuang's expression was not right, which made me always feel that I was ignoring something."

Shen Anqiu was not interested in the mystery of his own life experience, so Mo Feng didn't continue to investigate, but right now all these together made his heart itch.

If Shen Anqiu is really the child of the Grand Master's line that is said to have died at birth, Master Hou would not give up so easily and let Shen Anqiu return to the Lin family. Since Master Hou did not insist, it means that Shen Anqiu was not.

Since he is not, who looks like Lord Hou, who can he be? He can't be Lord Hou's own son?
Thinking of this, Mo Feng continued to push down.

All these years, he has been by Hou Ye's side all the time. He knows that besides Mrs. Hou, there are several favored wives in the backyard, but their children are also there. I have never heard of any lady whose child was lost. .

Could it be that Master Hou raised the outer room?

Shen Anqiu noticed that Mo Feng's eyes on his face changed back and forth, and finally even turned into sighs and sympathy.

"...?" Shen Anqiu held back, "Aren't you going?"

"You don't read books now, what will happen if I stay longer."

Shen Anqiu: "Aren't I watching?"

Mo Feng looked at him strangely for a while, then pointed at the book cover, "Didn't you notice that your book is held upside down? You can read the book upside down too?"

Shen Anqiu's expression was slightly stagnant.

Mo Feng suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed, "I understand, you can not only take shorthand, you can also read books backwards! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"To shut up!"

Shen Anqiu closed the book, and said a little angrily.

Mo Feng didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

……

The next day, when Yun Qingyin woke up, it was already high in the sun, and she was still yawning when she went downstairs.

Liu Zhu has already led Da Huang around several times, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night?"

Could Yun Qingyin say that she was too excited to close her eyes in the middle of the night?Of course not! "Well, it was a little late to read the accounts last night."

Liu Zhu felt very sorry for her immediately, "I know Miss is worried about the business of the restaurant, but it won't get better all at once, unlike Zuixianlou, our restaurant can stand here in half a year, and it's still going to happen. So many repeat customers, honestly, it’s something I never dreamed of before.”

Yun Qingyin felt a little guilty at what she said, so she touched her nose, "Yeah, I'm not that worried..."

"Miss, don't hide it from me. If you don't worry about it, you won't be able to sleep at night." The little girl also frowned.

"..."

It happened that Xiaohu came out and called Liu Zhu to keep the accounts, so Yun Qingyin had to take a break.

Thinking about the hot pot, Yun Qingyin brought Zhao Liang over, and told him about this method, Zhao Liang took a few people from the back kitchen to prepare it, and it was ready in less than two hours, and there was a guest at noon When I came here, I was attracted by this way of eating.

Eating and heating around the stove, it was warm and there were many dishes, which soon attracted a lot of people, and there were more guests in the afternoon.

Yun Qingyin was about to catch up on another sleep, when she saw Princess Anning rushing over from outside.

"Yun Qingyin, something is wrong!"
