Chapter 115 The Male Version of Beauty Luo Jingnian

Chen Jinwu rolled his eyes: "What is intimacy? Of all the grandchildren, except for my fat brother, I have been trained the most, okay? When you say it, it becomes intimacy. Do you think I Fat skinned and thick-faced, right? Don’t take you to bury people like this. Grandpa Luo is really kind to Sister Azhao. You can see who of us has been taken out by Grandpa Luo himself?” He pointed at Qin Zhao and gritted his teeth Said, "That's the girl."

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, Luo Jingchen knew that Chen Jinwu would also live in Luo's residence for a while, and he would have a long time to come, so he didn't rush to finish what he had to say, so he asked about Qin Zhao's studies.

Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Your Highness said that it is enough to help me get a name in the Guozijian Women's School, so as to save me from talking about it later, I have never formally entered school, but His Highness asked me to learn to be a housekeeper at home, so I only have a name." Son, probably not going to school."

The Highness she mentioned naturally refers to Princess Jinyang.

Hearing what she said, both Luo Jingchen and Chen Jinwu laughed. When Qin Zhao asked, he realized that the two were similar to her. Who would bother to go to the Imperial Academy every day? There are a lot of princesses and princesses there. Forget it, several young princesses, but none of them are in trouble.Who has the patience to get on the pole and run in front of them to find it uncomfortable?
Because it was getting late, Chen Jinwu said he wanted to try Qin Zhao's cooking skills, but Qin Zhao had no choice but to cook.Luo Jingchen planned to learn a few things from her. Although Chen Jinwu was not interested in the kitchen, he was curious about what Qin Zhao would do to reward them, so Luo Jingchen sent Qianmo, who came to serve with her, back to the courtyard and Jianxi. Say it, stay in the language institute.

Chen Jinwu is upright, Luo Jingchen is pure, both of them are people who are like a real David and noble daughter. Although their personalities are flying, they each have their own advantages that people appreciate. They treat Qin Zhao with sincerity, and Qin Zhao is naturally willing to show his sincerity Make friends with the two.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Qin Zhao ordered the cook to prepare the required ingredients and began to work.Luo Jingchen could still help, but Chen Jinwu just stood by and watched and chatted.After working for a while, Chen Jinwu asked in surprise: "Where is your lady Luo San? Why didn't you see her show up today?"

That's right, Qin Zhao also remembered that girl, it's really strange that she didn't come to trouble him today.

Luo Jingchen said: "When I went to say hello to my mother in the morning, it was said that today I was going to go to the Duke's Mansion of her natal family. I must have gone."

Chen Jinwu said with a smile: "That's good. I'm really afraid that she will come and say some harsh words. Although it won't hurt people, it will be annoying. If it wasn't for Azhao In your house, I will not run here."

Luo Jingchen laughed and scolded: "That girl is like that. I have endured it for more than ten years, and I haven't seen me eat and drink less. From now on, you just pretend that you didn't hear what she said. But look at what you just said Yes, it’s as if I don’t exist. I said that you are too hurtful. How can I say that we have known each other for more than ten years, and I am so inferior to Ah Zhao? Do you want to see me? "

Chen Jinwu replied with a smile: "Do you want to eat this jealousy? Why don't you say it? Although we are family friends, Ah Zhao is still my cousin. There is a difference between closeness and distance. Let's bear with it. Besides, how old is Ah Zhao? Your serious cousin, are you ashamed to be jealous of her?"

Talking about Luo Jingyun and her biological mother, Aunt Wei Chi, Chen Jinwu sighed: "It's just that your aunt is a good-natured person, just like Aunt Yuchi. If she was in our house, it would be my aunt who didn't say anything. She was in my grandmother's place." There is no way to go there. Your family is just used to it. Speaking of it, it is true, no matter what she said, she was also born in the Duke's Mansion, not to mention being an aunt. Her temperament is really that even a girl from a small family in Pengmen Why not. Ordinarily, the two old ladies of Duke Wei's mansion are not like this?"

Because it was related to the elders, Luo Jingchen couldn't say anything, so he changed the topic with a smile.

"By the way, my brother may come back from Yanzhou at the end of the year," Luo Jingchen said, "He will hold the crown ceremony next year. My mother is thinking about finding a good bride for him in the capital."

After hearing this, Chen Jinwu smiled and said, "Why are you telling me this? Could it be that your mother has taken a fancy to me?"

Luo Jingchen pointed at Chen Jinwu and laughed loudly: "You are not ashamed. But speaking of it, if my elder brother really finds you, it's not bad. Our two families are old friends. If you know the basics, you won’t be afraid of being abused by your mother-in-law when you marry into our family, and my elder brother was born extremely beautiful, no matter how you look at it, it’s a good marriage.”

Chen Jinwu curled his lips: "Please forgive me, as long as I am normal, I don't want to seek abuse. When the time comes, Aweng's family, even you as a sister-in-law, will be fine, but your family still has a torturer As for my sister-in-law, I'm afraid that my life will be shortened if I face her every day. That's not the point. The point is that Jingnian Luo has grown up like that. Do I want to wake up every day and remind myself how ugly I am? I feel uncomfortable. That's not how I found it. I just don't understand why the noble ladies in Chang'an City miss Luo Jingnian so much. They all say red flowers and green leaves, but they are so willing to be Luo Jingnian's green leaves. Every day they face a beauty Son, it’s still the male version, don’t you feel inferior?”

Luo Jingchen put down the plate in his hand, and gave Chen Jinwu a punch: "You've got rid of my brother like this, you can tell him in front of him if you have the ability, what beauty is not beautiful? Be careful I tell my brother that you call him a beauty Son."

"Don't do it," Chen Jinwu hurriedly begged, "If you tell me the truth, I think I'll be unlucky for three years. I don't dare to offend that evildoer of yours."

Qin Zhao had heard Luo Jingnian's name so many times. Seeing Chen Jinwu so curiously, he asked, "Brother Jingnian, you really look so good-looking?"

Chen Jinwu said: "Compared to your brother Jingnian, what kind of Fanan Songyu is not enough to carry his shoes."

Qin Zhao said with a smile, "I like beauties too. If you put it this way, I'm really looking forward to seeing you." She was also curious about what Luo Jingnian looks like, even Chen Jinwu, who has never been interested in looks and grooming. evaluate.

Luo Jingchen reminded: "Don't listen to Jinwu. In front of my brother, don't mention that he is good-looking, or he will be in a hurry with you. In the past, because Princess Lanling praised me at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, It is said that he is the most beautiful person born in David, even the concubines in the palace are not as good. If she is a man, she will also fall in love with her brother. As a result, her brother gave Princess Lanling shame at that time. I was so angry that I was about to ruin my face. If my grandfather hadn’t beaten me up, I’m afraid he would have stabbed me in the face. Princess Lanling is such a domineering person, seeing my brother now, she’s running out of hiding .”

Princess Qin Zhao of Lanling also heard that the most domineering person among the princesses married the second son of the former prime minister. The husband and wife are also a wonderful couple. : "So good-looking? Prettier than you? Princess Lanling compared him to the concubines of Sangong Sixth Courtyard, isn't that too much?"

"You think Jing Chen is a rare beauty, right? But to be honest, he is not as beautiful as Luo Jingnian." Chen Jinwu said with a smile, "By the way, the noble ladies in Chang'an City see him like that fly The stinky ones surrounded him with a buzz. Don't talk about others, your third cousin is very fascinated by Jingnian Luo, and you must stay away from Jingnian Luo in front of you Qin Xu from now on."

"I knew you had bad words, and my brother has become a rotten meat?" Luo Jingchen smiled and stepped forward to punch Chen Jinwu.

Laughing and making noise, Qin Zhao prepared the dinner and sent some dishes to Mrs. Wei as usual. Because Shizi Luo returned home for dinner at night, it was richer than yesterday's.

Qin Zhao then asked Roche's maid to ask when dinner was served.

Coming out of the kitchen, because Chen Jinwu didn't bring a change of clothes, she was so tall that she couldn't wear Luo Jingchen's dress, so she remembered to send someone to Duke Lu's mansion to fetch it, and patted her forehead again: "I I haven't gone to see my aunt yet."

Luo Jingchen said with a smile: "It's about to start dinner, don't go, my mother doesn't care about these vain gifts, I will accompany you to eat here tonight, I invite you and Ah Zhao to my place tomorrow Play, it won't be too late to ask my mother for a treat."

Chen Jinwu thought about it, he had stayed in the kitchen for a long time, and he came from outside, it was really rude to see his elders in this body, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the person sent here left the house, someone came from Duke Lu's mansion, and it was to bring Chen Jinwu a change of clothes.There are also some fresh fruits, which are said to be given to the people of the Duke of Yue to taste.

Because Luo Che returned to the city, the Duke of Lu also sent someone to invite him, and went to the Duke of Lu's mansion for a drink the next day.

Two of Chen Jinwu's personal servants came out. They were named Qiao and Qiao. They were twins. Did you give it to me, or is it the original name?"

Da Qiao was still a little shy, but Xiao Qiao was very open-mouthed, and replied with a smile: "The words of returning to the princess were suggested by our husband, who said that the girl has Zhou Yu's talent, and there is no Xiao Qiao to match her." , I can’t say anything. So the servant called Xiao Qiao, and because the sister and the servant were twins, the gentleman simply called her Da Qiao. The servant and the sister served by the gentleman’s side, because he disliked the chatteriness of the servant and sister, So I sent the slaves and maidservants to the girl's courtyard."

Fatty Chen is an unreliable person, so the name given to the pair of sisters is a bit appropriate.

The two sisters stayed at Qin Zhao's side. Another mother and a housekeeper sent by the Duke of Lu's Mansion went to see Madam Wei and Luo Che respectively. up.

Luo Jingchen then went to ask his grandfather Luo Che where the dinner was placed and if it was ready to serve.

Seeing the three of her little sisters together, Luo Che was afraid that if he ate together, the three little girls would feel uncomfortable, so he asked someone to send the food to her study alone, and let Qin Zhao and the three of them eat in the room where Qin Zhao lived. .

After dinner, Luo Jingchen simply asked the maid to bring her a change of clothes, and stayed with Qin Zhao and Chen Jinwu.The three chatted until midnight before falling asleep.

Qin Zhao originally wanted to follow Luo Che to learn the Luo family's spear skills. Firstly, Luo Jingchen had no interest in martial arts, and secondly, with Chen Jinwu around, the Luo family's spear was not rumored. Moreover, Luo Che did not send anyone to call her. Qin Zhao Woke up early in the morning, went to the kitchen to cook porridge, egg pancakes, etc., and sent them to Luo Che, and ate them with Luo Jingchen and Chen Jinwu.

After breakfast, Luo Che went to Duke Lu's mansion. Qin Zhao and his wife had nothing to do, so they went to see Mrs. Wei, met Mrs. Wei, said a few words, and then went to Luo Jingchen's courtyard to play.

After staying idle for two days, the palace sent someone to pick Qin Zhao back, saying that His Royal Highness the Princess had something to look for her.Because he would come to live in the future, Qin Zhao didn't pack his things, went to Mrs. Wei's place to bid farewell, and said goodbye to Luo Che, then led Zisu back to the Palace of the Prince and Shoulders.

Chen Jinwu and Qin Zhao made an appointment to go back to implement the business of the shop. Qin Zhao left, and she didn't have much interest in staying any longer, so she took Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and left Yueguo Gong's mansion and went straight to Princess Qinghe's mansion. go.

Qin Zhao went back to the palace and went directly to see Princess Jinyang.It turns out that the address of the workshop has been selected, and construction will start today. It is estimated that the workshop will be completed by the end of the year. If the equipment and other equipment are in place, it may be put into production by the end of the year.Jinyang asked her to come back because of the various equipment for frying oil in the oil workshop.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Qin Zhao was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, these instruments are actually simple, but it will take some time because they are required. At that time, we will just find a few more wood and iron workshops. Just do it together. I will discuss with Qin and Qin Feng in the past two days to see if the original equipment needs to be improved. After it is decided, I will make a sketch of the equipment. You will also ask the steward to find some craftsmen first. A good woodsmith's shop, when the time comes, we can order directly."

Jinyang naturally agreed.

After talking about business for a while, I asked Qin Zhao how he was doing at the Duke of Yue’s mansion. Qin Zhao smiled and said that everything is fine, but she promised that the old man of the State of Yue would go to the mansion of the Duke of Yue often, and the old man of the State of Yue also agreed. In order to teach her the Luo family's marksmanship, so when she has nothing to do, she has to live in the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Luo Che loves Qin Zhao, Jin Yang is not surprised, but the Luo family's marksmanship is kept secret, Duke Yue actually wanted to teach Qin Zhao, Jin Yang was surprised, and said with a smile: "This is your luck, you are a girl , our family doesn't point your finger at you to fight for fame, it's just that the Duke is willing to teach you, so you should be a good student and work hard."

"It's natural." Qin Zhao replied.Asked again why the two elder sisters Changning and Yixing were missing, Jinyang said that the two girls were taken to the palace by the empress.

After talking for a while, Qin Zhao was about to leave. Jin Yang said: "My family hasn't seen you for a few days, and I'm talking a lot. Since you're back, go and see your grandmother first. I don't have to come here sooner or later. , before the Duke's Mansion picks you up, you just have to rest at home."

Qin Zhao said his farewell respectfully, and together with Zisu went to the Rongshou residence where the old concubine lived.

The old concubine was also happy to see Qin Zhao, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my grandmother is worried about it. Is it okay to live at your grandpa Luo's house? Are you being naughty? How are you getting along with that girl Jing Chen? Grandma How do you look at it, it's a little taller than a few days ago?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "How can I grow so much taller in just a few days? The granddaughter is doing well in the Duke's Mansion, and the cousin of the Chen family is also there. Both of us play well with cousin Jingchen. Grandpa Luo loves it. Ying Hao is close to me, and living at our house is no different."

"That's good," the old concubine nodded, "Your Auntie Wei is a kind person, just don't be rude."

"Grandmother, don't worry, Ah Zhao won't embarrass grandma, but Ah Zhao is not at home these days, how is grandma doing?"

The old princess smiled and said, "It's all good."

Qin Zhao recalled that he was cooking every day in the Duke's Mansion of the Yue Kingdom these days, making delicious food to flatter Rocher, but his grandmother had never enjoyed her cooking, so he laughed and said, "Tonight's dinner will be served by Ah Zhao, let's make some delicious food to honor grandma."

The old princess said: "You know how to cook?"

Qin Zhaodao: "I learned something before. Grandpa Luo praised me for my good craftsmanship. I am in the Duke's Mansion. I have taken care of Grandpa Luo's meals for the past few days. I didn't work in other people's homes, but my grandmother didn't enjoy it." The principle of filial piety from granddaughter. Ask me to try it tonight. If grandma likes it, I can make it for grandma when I have free time. If grandma eats well, she will naturally be in a good mood. Only when she is in a good mood can she live a long life. Ah Zhao's mother has gone, pointing at grandmother to protect Ah Zhao."

The old concubine had heard her say that she would cook for herself, and she didn't really expect her to do anything. Roche praised her, probably because she loved the house and the black, and she was very happy that she was very sensible at a young age. Thinking that she mentioned the dead Ah Nian again, I felt uncomfortable for a while, and then thought that this child has lost his mother, unlike Ah Zhe, who has grown up and has his own world outside, but this child still has to live in the mansion After all, my aunt is no better than my own mother, and I really need her protection.Thinking about it this way, Qin Zhaolai really felt sorry for him.

This child looked happy every day, well-behaved and sensible, but in his heart, he was afraid even thinking about it.I had already felt sorry for her mother, but I had promised her grandmother to take good care of Ah Nian, and I didn't want to become my daughter-in-law, but I went so early.And what happened back then, I'm afraid his son is not clean.

I really should treat this girl well.Otherwise, if she went underground after a hundred years, what face would she have to face her grandmother A Ying?What's more, she is also the granddaughter of her own direct relative.

Thinking of this, the old concubine treated Qin Zhao more kindly, and said softly, "How much is your monthly allowance?"

Why did you suddenly ask this?
Qin Zhao hurriedly replied: "It's 20 taels, just like the two cousins. My aunt has pity on me, and I always come according to the two cousins. My food seal, my aunt said, if I Whatever I need, I will take care of myself."

The old concubine pondered for a while, and said: "You are still young, and the princess's salary will be handed over to your aunt. If you are entertaining, the monthly allowance is just a saying, and if you really want to buy a piece of jewelry, it is not enough. Yes. In the future, I will allocate another 20 taels to you from my monthly bill. You just spend it, and if you buy anything, just tell me."

Qin Zhao declined and said, "Where do I have any money to spend? Twenty taels of pocket money is enough. If there is anything to use, my aunt will treat Ah Zhao as her own daughter, but whenever Ah Zhao says Son, it’s also the best one for Ah Zhao, I really don’t need another one from my grandmother.”

The old concubine said: "I am your grandmother, just keep it for you."

Qin Zhao didn't mention it any more, the grandparents and grandson had dinner, and Qin Zhao talked with him for a while before returning to Fucui Pavilion.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Zhao got up early in the morning because he had been deserted in the Duke's Mansion of Yue State for a few days. He practiced boxing and kicking in the backyard for a while, sweating all over his body. After that, I heard that Qin He asked to see him, so Qin Zhao hurriedly brought Qin He here.

After stepping back from the maid, Qin He saluted and said, "Princess, Anxi Duhufu has a letter for the princess."
