Family Has a Concubine

In mid-September, the weather is getting cooler.

The window with blessings and longevity patterns shines on the ground through the cool sunlight.

Concubine Lu was reclined on the couch inlaid with mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood roses, holding an autumn fragrance folding fan in her hand, and was tapping lightly on the tiger's mouth.

"Side concubine." At this moment, Su Qiu came in, her face tensed slightly: "Lady Huang just went to Pingting Xiaozhu to deliver lunch, but no one came back yet."

Concubine Lu pursed her lips, and said lightly: "That's it."

The concubine Lu is in charge of the middle class of the palace, so the maids and mother-in-law at home naturally follow her lead. Zhao Yingqi ran to King Liang's study yesterday, so someone naturally saw it.

But not everyone can enter the garden in the important place of the study.

Last night, the maid went to Pingting Xiaozhu to deliver meals, but Zhao Yingqi did not come back. Suqiu's heart was sour, and she paid special attention to it early this morning, but she still didn't come back, so she came back to report to Concubine Lu.

"Okay, bring the account book here, I want to check it." After Lu Fangfei finished speaking, she threw the Qiuxiang folding fan in her hand on the coffee table beside her.

Su Qiu was startled, then nodded: "Yes."

But I was still not reconciled, and when I walked out the door, I couldn't help but yelled in the direction of Ping Ting Xiaozhu, and said in a low voice: "It's still in the main room! You actually hooked up with the prince in the study in broad daylight! Shameless! Even the new door below Those concubines who are not on the stage are more dignified than her."

No matter what, Zhao Yingqi was finally able to attend Qi Min's housewarming party the next day.

...

September 16th, Qi Min and Qiao Qian.

Early this morning, Chu Yunpan went to court.

Ye Tangcai was sitting on the dressing table, while Qiuju was combing her hair with a horn comb.

"Little sister-in-law." At this moment, a soft voice sounded, but Chu Miaohua walked in.

"Wait a while, I'll be fine soon." Ye Tangcai smiled lightly.

When I went to Qi Min's place today, Ye Tangcai also called Chu Miaohua, not only her, but also Ye Lingjiao and Ye Weicai. Coupled with the daughters of several aristocratic families called by Qi Min, it can be lively. Just like a flower feast.

"Yes." Chu Miaohua agreed, and sat down at the small round table in the small hall.

The autumn tangerines were pinched slowly, and in a short while she combed Ye Tang's hair. She also put a glazed crabapple on her hairpin, and changed into a red double-breasted skirt with crabapple flowers. Dazzling.

Ye Tangcai turned her head and smiled slightly: "Let's go!"

"Okay." Chu Miaohua happily agreed.

The aunt and sister-in-law went out one after the other.

Chu Miaohua followed Ye Tangcai and sighed slightly, she was only two months younger than Chu Miaoshu, after the new year, she would be almost seventeen, but her marriage has not yet been settled.

"The manger at the west corner gate is broken, so the horses and carriages are at the east corner gate. Let's take the carriage there." Ye Tangcai said with a smile.

The two passed through a moon arch, and walked through the pavilions.

In Bailu Garden, Chu Miaoshu was sitting in the water pavilion doing embroidery work, while Green Branches and Chunshan stood beside him.

Seeing Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaohua passing by from a distance, Chu Miaoshu slightly raised his eyebrows: "Where are they going?"

Chun Shan said: "Isn't that Qi Min's housewarming today? The two of them will go there! A few days ago, Qiuju came over to ask, but of course I refused. The girl is busy doing embroidery work for His Royal Highness now. Son, where is the time to attend such a boring occasion. Besides, the divorce date is less than a month, so naturally you can't go out. "

The corners of Chu Miaoshu's lips curled up, full of lust, and she sneered: "Second sister is still running outside with my little sister-in-law... Tsk tsk."

Luzhi smiled and said: "Think you can get a good marriage by walking around like this? Girls used to run away for a whole year, what kind of people did they attract? A shabby flower, a short-lived seed, fortunately, they didn't accept it at that time. .In the end, the girl has a good destiny, and she is also destined by heaven! The first two things are not acceptable, that is because the girl is destined to marry into the prince's mansion, and is destined to be a master."

"Now who doesn't envy girls." Chun Shan said.

Chu Miaoshu raised the corners of her lips and did not answer, only feeling flustered.

...

Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaoshu arrived at Dongjiaomen, got into the car, and then headed for Qi Min's mansion.

The carriage walked for a quarter of an hour, and finally entered a house with three entrances. The carriage stopped at the hanging flower gate, and a maid had already rushed out when she saw the person coming.

Qiu Ju put down the sticks, Ye Tangcai and Chu Miaohua got off the car, and saw Qi Min coming to greet her: "You've come."

"I'm the first?" Ye Tangcai asked with a smile.

"No, sister Ling is the first." Qi Min said.

"Oh, that's right, it's not far from my sister's residence, just turn around an alley." Ye Tangcai said with a smile.

"I originally picked this place, and I thought it would be closer to you." Qi Min took Ye Tangcai's hand, "Where did you expect that your family is so powerful, he will be granted the title of Marquis directly, and the mansion will be given to Jinglong Street. I will go find it." It's even more troublesome for you. Fortunately, sister Ling lives here, so I can go to her house to play when I have free time."

Ye Tangcai smiled, and they stepped into the vertical flower gate, and when they entered, they saw a wide courtyard, five large main rooms, six side rooms on each side, plus a row of inverted seats in front, and a row of back rooms in the back. , but very delicate.

Ye Tangcai had already seen this room.

When Qi Min was repairing, Ye Tangcai gave advice a lot. After all, Qi Min was born in a farming family, so he is not very clear about the layout of these big families.

In addition to repairs and layout, Ye Tangcai also helped her choose some maids for her to use.

Did not pick many people. They bought two families, with two tall and strong women, two daughters-in-law, three maids, and two boys aged twelve or thirteen. Qi Min lived alone, which was enough for him.

They walked into the main room and saw a set of pear wood tables and chairs. Ye Lingjiao and Ye Weicai were sitting beside the round table, and they all laughed when they saw her: "Sister Tang is here."

After a while, the girl Qi Min had invited came.

Yuan Nanying, Shangguan Yun, and 20 or so other elegant girls came and cheered a lot.

The servant girl greeted people to the yard, and saw that there were chrysanthemums all around, and these noble ladies were more lively than writing chrysanthemum poems.

Ye Lingjiao is pregnant, so it's not suitable to go to play, she just sat in the room with Qi Min and Ye Tangcai.

Ye Lingjiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's easy for them to deal with it."

Qi Min chuckled: "With this person here, there is nothing difficult to deal with. I didn't invite so many people, some of them came by myself after the people I invited." He glanced at Ye Tangcai as he spoke.

Ye Lingjiao understood with a snort, many of them wanted to get close to Ye Tangcai.

"Sister Tang! Sister Tang!" A joyful call rang out.

Ye Tangcai was taken aback.

The corner of Qi Min's mouth twitched: "That guy is here!"

Ye Tangcai looked up, only to see a petite figure. A white upper jacket, a red chest-length skirt sprinkled with pink and white petals on the lower body, with flowing ribbons flying on the chest, a delicate little face smiling like a flower, and rushing over with the skirt in hand.
