Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 23

Yinxiang laughed out loud when he heard this, and seemed to be nodding in satisfaction.

"Xiaoqing is deliberately making Uncle Thirteen lose the game, right?"

"Huh? If Uncle Thirteen loses, he still plans to rely on me?"

Yinxiang just smiled and said nothing.

Subtle changes began to take place in the subsequent chess game.Yinxiang really didn't have any big intentions to win, and he didn't do it too obviously. He calculated and calculated to make his son be eaten more beautifully.

Yinxiang was surprised that his fourth brother didn't seem to want him to lose, so he let go of the son who was clearly handed over to him.The two of them seemed to be walking down an extremely bright black alley.After playing chess for so many years, this is the first time that someone has made more "mistakes" like this.

In the end, Yinxiang won two sons.win by a narrow margin.What a narrow victory.

Yinzhen smiled gratifiedly and said, "Thirteenth Brother's chess skills are really improving by leaps and bounds."

Yinxiang laughed dryly and said, "I'm ashamed and ashamed. The fourth brother praised me. Thanks to the fourth brother's resignation."

With Chuqing's level of thinking, she couldn't see their way at all, but hurriedly called for another game.

Yinzhen then said: "It's getting late, and the days are short. I've bothered your thirteenth uncle for half a day. It's time to say goodbye."

When Yinzhen got up, Yinxiang also got up, not in vain, he knew that his fourth brother's temperament was that what he said was a decision, and he would not change it easily.Xiao Gaozi trotted over to hold the vase of plum blossoms, and Yinxiang and Thirteen Fujin escorted them to the second gate.Yinzhen's horse was brought out from the stables of the Thirteen Mansion at some point and waited, and Yinzhen rode back to the mansion with Chuqing as usual.

The street market has dispersed, and the homes on both sides of the street are lit with warm lights.Tonight, is it time for every family to make winter solstice circles again?Chinese New Year is approaching, and I seem to be a little homesick.Chuqing felt a little sad.

I really want to eat glutinous rice balls made by my mother with black sesame filling, orange peel and rock sugar filling, sweet-scented osmanthus and white sugar filling, rose date paste filling, and sugar winter melon filling.

I really want to eat.In the past, I could use my brain to think about which flavor to eat first, but now I only have memories.It's like the breeze blows away the past like smoke.what.what.

"Hey—" Chu Qing sighed deeply after thinking about it.Flatten your mouth and manage your saliva.

"What are you doing with a good sigh?" Yin Zhen held the rein and looked straight ahead, but he could hear clearly in his ears.

"I want to go home." Chu Qing answered without thinking with a worried face.The tone is three parts delicate and seven parts nostalgic.

Yinzhen didn't say a word.

When we returned to Haitang Court, it was already dark.Chunhua was the first to greet her, and asked with a smile, "Is it cold, master? I've been out for a day, so my slaves will miss it."

Chuqing looked at Chunhua's melon-seeded face, which had been with her day and night, for nearly a year, and said with a smile, "Chunhua, you are so nasty."

Chunhua took it quickly, "It's all thanks to the master."

Chu Qing burst into a smile, this spring flower is the most fun when it shows loyalty.

"Well, the credit is all mine, and all the crimes are yours. You must remember this." Chu Qing will not miss the opportunity to take advantage.

"Chunhua," Chuqing entered the room, sat down on the smoked cage, and asked, "Can you make glutinous rice balls?"

"Master, do you want to eat glutinous rice balls?" Chunhua helped Chuqing take off her coat and tidy up the crane cloak.

"Yeah." Chuqing spread her arms and simply lay on the smoker cage.

Chunhua came over and said: "Speaking of which, there are still a lot of food in the room over there, and they were specially made and delivered from the dining room after you left, master."

"Knowing that I'm not here, you sent it? Not sincere. What did you send?" Chu Qing was a little strange, but she became more interested in eating.

"Think about it, servant girl, oh, it's not anything special, just two kinds of snacks, one is pea yellow and the other is water chestnut cake. Although they are sold everywhere outside, they are not very clean. But these are not usually made in the house. I don't know. Is it because some master Zitu wants to eat it fresh, so he makes it together and sends it everywhere, or..." Chunhua also looked puzzled.

"Pea yellow, water chestnut cake..." Chu Qing was taken aback. Didn't she ask Sisi to buy it for her when she passed by the market?It turned out that she was not allowed to eat it because she thought it was dirty?
"Master, what are you laughing at?" Chunhua noticed an inexplicable smile on her master's face.I haven't seen this kind of smile for a long time.

"Chunhua, I don't eat glutinous rice balls anymore, go and get the pea yellow and water chestnut cake." Chu Qing gave orders excitedly.

Chunhua was used to her master being sluggish for a while and full of energy for a while, so she didn't say much, and went to get some food.

Chu Qing took a look, and found that it was indeed much cleaner than the ones on the market, and the color was also good-looking. She also used molds to press beautiful patterns of plum blossoms and peonies.Chunhua brought a small silver engraved spoon, and after Chuqing took it, she just looked at it with a smile and didn't do anything for a long time.

"What's wrong, master?" Chunhua was a little confused.

Usually, the master didn't look like this when he saw the food.

"Sure enough, there is such a thing as being full just by looking at it."

Chu Qing said very emotionally.

The day before the winter solstice passed like this.

The severe winter in the north is painful and pleasant for Chuqing, a native southern soul.The bitter cold weather is naturally very painful, but the warm interior and the hot kang are a hundred times happier than spending winter in the south.

The south is always damp and cold to the bone, and the chill can only be endured, and there is no escape.The north is different. For a noble daughter, if she only needs to stay in her house without going anywhere, she feels that spring is not far away.

Chuqing spent this winter with the company of the stove and the soup pot.Whether it is fast or slow, spring is really here.After the last snow melted, after the plum blossom petals on the Nine-Nine Cold Dispelling Map were completely dyed red, when the first gust of gentle breeze blew against the window lattice...

Chuqing walked into the courtyard of the Begonia Garden, watched the Begonia tree start to sprout young sprouts, stretched and shook her lazy bones, and said with a sincere smile: "Ah, spring is here!" She was so excited, so emotional, so excited Pretentious!
However, the little face was bright for a short while, and then quickly collapsed.No matter how much she diverted her attention and how she pretended to be indifferent, she still couldn't avoid the news that Nianshi was about to marry Yinzhen from rumor to reality.

Throughout February, Si Fujin has been busy dealing with this important matter inside and outside the palace.The various affairs that have been going on since the fingering marriage are indispensable to the arrangement of her, Fujin.It is inevitable that Chuqing will know the general situation of things when she is calm in the morning and evening.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Yinzhen personally came to the family's house in colorful clothes to give the gift of adoption last year, and the gift lists sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all let go here in Fujin.Chu Qing looked at those gold and silver, mink and fox furs, hairpins and Chuan'er, and felt a little dazed.Looking at Si Fujin's business affairs, it seems that this is just one of the many affairs in the palace, and she has no extra energy and emotion to think about other things.

The specifications of Prince Yong's Mansion are much more grand than in the past, so there are all kinds of houses.The selection and layout of the new house is mainly determined by Yinzhen.In the future, the courtyard of Fujin will be located near the entrance of the east garden. It is a new courtyard that was expanded last year.

A large number of spring grasses and summer flowers are planted in the yard, especially roses and peonies.In the spring season, carved beams and painted buildings, fresh green and bright red, against the fragrance of flowers all over the courtyard, and the pistils everywhere, it is a charming scene.

Chuqing didn't go there on purpose, it's just that spring came and the school reopened, and when He Hongshi passed by, Hongshi dragged her in for a visit.

Such a good place, just because of her mood, is a bit dazzling.She also joked to Hiroshi that she would be happy if it was him who got married.Of course, she later learned that Hongshi's marriage was not a good experience.
