Chapter 82:

Qin Xin is nominally the concubine of the Qin family. Although she is a concubine, it is reasonable to say that when she is out of the cabinet, Qin Jiu should go and add makeup to her. However, Qin Jiu has been busy recently, so he just left the post and ignored it. Up.
Qin Jiu went to Huangjue Temple early in the morning and put the two amulets he had obtained into the blue and purple purse. With the experience of wearing books, she couldn't say anything like "feudal superstition". She felt that sincerity should still be alive. Whether there is a or Buddha, it is always good to bring a talisman.
In addition to the amulet, Qin Jiu also prepared some dried foods such as dried meat, dried meat, fried noodles, and sesame cakes for long-term preservation, as well as sour plums to prevent seasickness, and went to the drug store to buy some commonly used medicines.
Qin Jiu was busy for several days, dividing everything into two parts, one part for Qin Zening and the other part for Gu Zezhi.
"Girl, Chen Junwang is here." Du Ruo came in and said.
Qin Zhuo was still a little uncomfortable with this name, and after a moment of stunned, he realized that the King of Chenjun Du Ruo said was referring to Gu Zezhi.
Qin Jiu picked up the bag with the purple purse and went to the Yimen, where Gu Zezhi was waiting for her. As soon as they met, Qin Jiu gave him the baggage in his hand, "I prepared it for you. , Take it."
Gu Zezhi didn't ask what it was, and took it with a smile.
Qin Jiu took Gu Zezhi's hand and walked out, and said, "I will do it for you. There is a restaurant on Changhua Street nearby. The sweet and sour fish in the Zuixiao Building is very delicious, better than that of Yunbin Restaurant. too much."
"Listen to me right!"
"That's right." Gu Zezhi Zhenger nodded his head eight times, smiled lightly, and his eyes were as hot as the hot summer sun. "It's right to hear from us, Xiao Jiu!"
The words "our little Jiu" were utterly irritated by him. Qin Jiu only felt as if a feather was scratching her ears, itchy and soft, and his heartbeat could not help speeding up.
She felt very useful, her small chin was raised, and she smiled like a lilac blooming on a branch in April.
This good mood has been maintained until the Zuixiao Tower.
After sitting down in the lounge, Qin Jiao couldn't wait to open the baggage, and took out the contents from the baggage in the same way, took the same thing, and just introduced it babblingly. Gu Zezhi listened patiently.
In a short while, these small things filled a table.
Finally, what she took out of her bag was the purple purse, which was embroidered with delicate bamboo leaf patterns. She loosened the drawstring of her purse and showed him the amulet in the purse, "This is the amulet I asked for you at Huangjue Temple."
Gu Zezhi looked at her, her eyes softened a bit in those beautiful phoenix eyes, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth were like the bright quarter moon in the night sky.
He got up and walked to her, and said, "Help me wear it?"
With the height of Qin Jiu sitting on the chair at the moment, he was looking at his waist. His thin waist was surrounded by a black silk ribbon embroidered with dark patterns, and he was wearing a piece of suet white carved with a few bushes of bamboo. Jade.
With a "um", she carefully handed Gu Zezhi's purse next to the jade pendant.
Gu Zezhi looked down at her. The girl’s long and thick eyelashes formed a shallow shadow on the eye sockets. The girl’s skin was as white as jade, calm and elegant, looking like a fragile white porcelain doll, with her half a year ago. Looks like two people.
As the old saying goes, girls really have to be pampered.
The corners of Gu Zezhi's lips twitched, thinking of the gray-headed and quirky look of the little girl when he first met, the smile in his eyes waved away.
He knows that his little girl not only hides her claws, but also bites people!
Qin Jiu quickly put his purse on him and motioned him to take a step back and let her see if Dai Zheng was right. He didn't want to, he didn't retreat but moved forward, leaning slightly, his arms wrapped around her thin shoulders.
The faint bamboo fragrance came out, with a warm breath, encircling her.
Qin Jiu raised his head subconsciously, feeling the darkness in front of him, and his right hand decisively covered her eyes.
She wanted to ask him what he did to cover her eyes. The next moment, a warm and soft touch came from her forehead, causing her to swallow all the words she hadn't spoken.
Pounding!
Qin Jiao felt her heart pounding, she knew he had kissed her.
That feeling was both novel and inexplicably embarrassing, her ears were slightly hot.
His lips only stayed on her forehead for a moment, then backed away, and after that, her eyes lit up again.
Qin Ji blinked, still a little dazed, Gu Zezhi had already retreated, sat down in his seat, and took a sip of tea from the white porcelain tea cup.
Qin Jiu's gaze first fell on his beautiful thin lips, and the roots of his ears became hotter, so his gaze moved down and fell on his right hand holding the tea cup. His hand was white and slender, with distinct bones and five fingers. Ruyu.
She still remembered that when she first met Gu Zezhi at the inn in Yaoqing County, the goal was his right hand.
At that time, these hands were beautiful and beautiful, but to her, she only felt scared.
But now...
She crossed the tabletop, grabbed his hand, and compared her right hand with him. When the base of her palm was flush, his fingers were a lot longer than hers.
She gently brushed the thin cocoon on his palm with her fingertips, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "I heard that the Shoushan Stone in Minzhou is a must, can you give me a few directions?"
"Okay, what do you want to carve?"
"Brother, can you engrave a chapter?"
"Well, what do you want to carve?"
One of Gu Ze was talking while looking at her intently. His dark pupils were shining like the stars of a summer night.
At this moment, his mood was surprisingly peaceful, cheerful and at ease.
It’s great to know that someone is waiting for him to come home!
The spring breeze at the end of April was gentle and gentle, and all flowers bloomed in this season. When the wind blew, the air with the fragrance of flowers was warm, lingering on the tip of his nose, and his heart was warmed by the ironing.
"I should be back in a few months." Gu Zezhi suddenly turned and rubbed her head. "You have to be good in Beijing." He waited for him to come back.
"Am I not good?" Qin Jiao's mouth pursed and his cheeks bulged.
Gu Zezhi laughed silently, and the dark phoenix eyes became charming, "Hey, you are the best!"
Qin Jiu couldn't keep it stretched, and immediately burst into laughter with a "pouch", the laughter was as clear as a mountain stream, floating out through the window.
The spring breeze was blowing outside, and the sprigs of peach blossoms outside the window were swaying in the wind, leaving little flowers on the window sill.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. On the fourth day of May, Gu Zezhi and Qin Zening set off for Minzhou.
It was just that Qin Zening was missing, and Qin Jiu suddenly felt that the house had calmed down, and Qin Zeyu was the only child left.
When Qin Jiu was bored, he went to see Xiong’s children practicing martial arts and read, scared Qin Zeyu twice, for fear that his sister would not allow him to practice martial arts, so he was doing a lot of work, and even his husband had a good deal of him. Admiringly.
Qin Jiu deeply felt that the bear child was either stupid, or he didn't like to read and didn't need to work hard!
She just stared at the bear child if she had nothing to do. Anyway, he learned from him. She read her script. For the rest of the time, she couldn't help thinking about Gu Zezhi, thinking that he and Qin Zening didn’t know where they were, and missed him. On the road, I don't know if she will be seasick, will she be dissatisfied... She never knew she could miss someone so much.
It was strange, she didn't feel particularly reluctant when he left, as if she knew he would always come back.
After going back and forth, she forgot about Qin Xin's going out of the cabinet until Mother Cui came on the tenth day of May.
"Three girls," Mother Cui saluted Qin Jiao while looking at her up and down. Seeing that she looked very good, she was relieved, "Today is the day when the second girl will be out of the cabinet. The lady wants you and Wu Ye to go back. ."
Qin Jiao only remembered now, but she didn't want to go back either.
Qin Jiu didn't hide from Mother Cui, and said calmly: "Mother Cui, Qin Xin wants our sister and brother to go back to the Hou Mansion and give her a face."
Mother Cui got it right at one point and immediately understood.
Qin Xin is the second prince’s concubine. No matter how expensive the second prince’s status is, the concubine is ultimately a concubine. It is impossible for Qin Xin to go to the Hou Mansion to congratulate those handkerchiefs in the past, and he is more reluctant to communicate with a concubine. Can't afford to lose this face.
Therefore, Qin Xin was destined to leave the cabinet in a deserted manner, and was destined to be forgotten by the ladies.
Qin Jiu is the future princess of Chenjun. If she goes to the Hou Mansion, Qin Xin's face will be more or less able to sustain her. After being carried into the Second Prince's Mansion, it will also be able to let those servants take a high look.
Their second girl has a good abacus! Sister Cui thought, and said to Qin Jiu with a serious face: "Three girls, you are right not to go."
Qin Jiu said again: "Mother Cui, please go back and tell grandmother that Qin Xin and I have never been getting along well. If I didn't hold back quarreling with her, it would have ruined her big day. nice."
Mother Cui understood her heart, and she told Mrs. Qin exactly when she returned, and said: "The third girl is also worried that if something really happens, the second girl is still holding a sigh of breath."
Mrs. Qin sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't think about it."
She had thought that she was her own sister anyway, and Sister Xin was going to be out of the cabinet. Sister Jiu should have come back to marry her. For a while, she forgot that they were enemies.
Before the long house and the Hou Mansion had not separated, when the two sisters met, Sister Xin would be depressed for a long time, always crying with guilt in front of her. Today is also a good day for Sister Xin anyway, and it would not be the same if she was crying.
"Mrs. Cui," Mrs. Qin ordered, "Go and talk to Sister Xin, and Sister Ji will not come."
Mother Cui suppressed the corners of her lips that were about to turn up, and went.
Along the way, people performing their duties, the entire Hou Mansion looked the same as usual, only a few red lanterns were hung in Qin Xin's yard, and a few "囍" characters were also posted.
In the yard, there was a deserted, two grandma sent by the clan family were checking Qin Xin's "dowry", but all those who did not comply with the regulations were taken out of the box.
It stands to reason that the woman’s dowry was delivered to her husband’s house the day before the marriage, but Qin Xin was just a concubine, and of course there was no dowry. All the personal belongings were carried along with her into the second palace with the sedan chair.
Qin Xin, wearing a full moon white dress, was sitting dignifiedly in front of the dressing table in her boudoir. When she heard Mother Cui's response, she was stupefied.
She had known that Su had sent an invitation to Qin Jiu, and that the invitation had gone into the sea like a clay cow.
She guessed that Qin Jiu didn't plan to come, and finally coaxed Mrs. Qin Tai to send someone to call Qin Jiu. She didn't expect that Qin Jiu would not even give Mrs. Qin Tai's face.
"Mrs. Cui," Qin Xin bit her lower lip, eyes foggy, Jiaojiao said timidly, "I was thinking, I am going to get married, and our sisters can meet before I leave the cabinet. , Smiled and sorrowed, I can still come and go in the future, I didn't expect...
She sighed, then said, "Let grandma bother me."
Mother Cui curled her lips in disapproval.
The second girl said something in the middle of the sentence. The meaning of the words is that the third girl does not show the face of the wife. This is to use herself to go to the wife to give the third girl eye drops.
"The third girl said, after a few days, she will come to greet the wife, so she won't bother with the second girl."
Mother Cui said without a smile, "Second girl, let's wipe away the tears, Mrs. Tai said, don't cry on this happy day, it's unlucky."
With that said, Mother Cui blessed her body casually and left without even looking at Qin Xin.
Even a humble slave and maid would dare to shame himself! Qin Xin clenched the veil tightly, his face was very ugly.
"Girl," said Shuxiang hurriedly coming in from outside, "said the mother, auspicious time is coming soon."
Qin Xin sat blankly, looking at the deserted boudoir, there was no Xi Niang, no Feng Guanxia, ​​and no red hijab. The second prince won't come to welcome her, but waiting for her is to lift the sedan chair into the second prince's mansion quietly.
This is very different from the big wedding she imagined.
The eyes of the two mothers sent by the ancestor’s mansion were about to grow to the top of her head. She wanted Qin Jiu to grow her face for her. She suppressed the arrogance of those two mothers, not wanting Qin Jiu to be so disagreeable. Recognize praise!
The more Qin Xin thought about it, the more angry he got, and the Yuebai kerchief in his hand had been twisted into a ball by her.
"Girl, you'd better put on your clothes first." Shuxiang looked at her carefully and persuaded.
Of course, being a concubine does not have a big red dress. On the hanger is a set of pink dresses, with big peony flowers embroidered on the coat.
Originally, Qin Xin prepared a silver-red wedding gown. The material came from Bao Embroidery in Jiangnan. It was only a hundred horses per year and was worth more than one hundred taels of silver. The wedding gown was made by her, and also by her. Embroidered with one stitch and one thread, when she tried it on, she was glamorous and dazzling.
However, the grandmother of the patriarchal mansion immediately said no, saying that silver red was too close to being red, and Qin Xin couldn't wear it for a concubine, so she had to change one.
Of course she refused to agree. Who wanted the two mothers to say "No answer" and they were about to leave. So, without saying anything, the Su family cut off her silver-red dress. The two mothers were satisfied with a pink dress.
Qin Xin went to see this outdated pink dress now, wishing to tear it apart.
But no matter what, Qin Xin didn't want to miss auspicious time. He was unwilling to change into this pink dress under the waitress of the maid, and then the maid dressed her up again.
His skin is like snow, and his lips are like vermilion. Today's Qin Xin is dressed more delicately than usual, but her eyes are dull, like a flower that has just bloomed and is about to wither.
Then, she got on a pink sedan chair, and the sedan chair was carried away from the back door of the Hou Mansion. Along the way, without beating gongs or drums, she was carried to the Second Prince's Mansion in a deserted manner, and then into the mansion through the back door.
According to Daqi's rules, marry a wife during the day and take a concubine at night.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the gloomy sky was piled with layers of dark clouds. The gray sky seemed to foretell something, exuding an ominous atmosphere.
"Rumble, rumbling..."
The ear-splitting thunder was coming and going.
In a short while, the big raindrops crackled down, and the heavy rain was like a curtain.
In Qin's mansion, Qin Di, who was sitting by the window, stared at the heavy rain outside the window, his eyes flickering.
She remembered that in the novel, it took a full ten thousand-character chapter to describe the marriage of the male and female horns. The second prince came to the Hou Mansion to greet him, beat the gongs and drums, the common people walked, and ten miles of red makeup. Wedding.
But now, who would have thought that the heroine was carried into the Prince's Mansion in such a deserted manner.
The ruler in Qin Jiao's hand tapped his palm casually, his mouth raised high. Well, Qin Xin is not happy, she is happy!
On the other side, Qin Zeyu was standing in front of the book case writing big characters with a bitter expression on his face.
He finally finished writing a piece, and was about to play a mess with his sister, but when he heard the sound of the ruler pierced into his ears, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He was afraid that the ruler might hit him, so he stood up straight up and continued to struggle with the pen in his hand. He didn't dare to be lazy again.
Hey, he would rather stand for two hours' horse step than write!
It happened that his sister was too sturdy, so fierce that she even beat her herself. After Gu Sange left, there must be no one to help herself.
Qin Zeyu missed Gu Zezhi very much, and wondered whether to write a letter and ask him when he would return to Beijing.
The more he thinks about it, the more he feels less optimistic. The journey in Minzhou is so long that it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Gu Sange is afraid that he won't be able to return until at least six or seven months. Hey, his hard days are still long!
Qin Jiao watched Qin Zeyu's homework for a few days, and it was several days before the siblings returned to the Hou Mansion to greet Mrs. Qin.
Since moving out, the three brothers and sisters in the long room will go back together every ten days to greet Mrs. Qin.
On weekdays, whoever is free will walk to Mrs. Qin Tai, and say hello, sometimes accompanied by lunch, sometimes leaving after a short conversation. This is also what Empress Wei meant. After all, the two brothers Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu They all want to enter the official career, whether they are military commanders or civil servants, filial piety is the biggest crime, enough to make them hopeless in official career.
Qin Zhun is just the uncle in the next room, and it doesn't matter where he goes, but Mrs. Qin Tai is their first-in-law grandmother, and asked An Shiji how to come or how to come.
Mrs. Qin Tai was still very happy to see Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu, and she pulled Qin Zeyu and said with emotion that he was growing taller and stronger again, and she said that she looked good when she pulled Qin Jiu.
The smelly near, the fragrance far away, once this person is no longer in front of her, Mrs. Qin can't help but chant every day, always feeling that she misses the three grandchildren of the long room even more.
While speaking, Mrs. Qin said to Qin Xin casually: "Sister Xin, that girl, Xu is not doing well in the Second Prince's Mansion."
"How to say?" Qin Jiao asked curiously.
"When she came home two days ago, she looked terrible." Mrs. Qin sighed and said frowning, "But no matter how I ask her, she only said very well, Your Royal Highness. Treating her well, hey, if she is really good, how could she not have the slightest joy on her face when she just married, and in just a few days, people have lost a lot of weight."
Mrs. Qin Tai felt that Qin Xin must have been wronged. She frowned deeply, and said anxiously: "It stands to reason that the newly married couple should be intimate. There is no one else in the second prince’s house. what."
Mrs. Qin is at this age, and the brides who have seen her don't know where she is, and which one is not radiant and charming.
"But I looked at it, why Sister Xin didn't seem to be willing to mention the second prince at all, and when I mentioned him occasionally, she looked like weeping."
When Qin Xin mentioned the second prince in the past, he was obviously full of joy and could not finish talking. Mrs. Qin became more worried as she thought about it, and muttered: "I also saw a pinch mark on her right wrist. She said that she accidentally pinched herself..."
Qin Jiao heard what was wrong and blinked.
In the novel, isn’t the relationship between the male and female protagonists very good? Qin Xin has just married, and there is no seven-year itch. Besides, as Mrs. Qin said, the second prince hasn’t married a concubine yet. No one is making trouble.
When Mrs. Qin saw that Qin Jiu didn't speak, she suddenly remembered that Qin Jiu was at odds with Qin Xin, so she didn't go on.
Qin Zeyu, who was only twelve years old, really didn't dare to be interested in such topics as newlyweds and intimacy. He silently played with the dagger Gu Zezhi gave him, occasionally throwing the dagger from his left to his right.
The dagger was shining, and Madam Qin was almost dazzled by the sight of Mrs. Qin, for fear that Qin Zeyu would accidentally cut his hand.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Yu, I asked the kitchen to make the hibiscus cake you like to eat today. You should eat a little bit faster and stop playing with daggers..."
With his sister, Qin Zeyu didn't dare to be a demon at all, obediently put away the dagger, put it on his waist, and then ate his snack.
Seeing the dagger returned to its sheath, Mrs. Qin's heart fell to the ground. She couldn't help but remembered Gu Jing's stabbing by Yeluluan, and whispered softly: "Xu is the second prince who just got hurt, and she feels unhappy. , Did you feel angry on Sister Xin?"
When Mrs. Qin said so, Qin Jiao also remembered Gu Jing's injury.
She felt that Gu Zezhi must have guessed whether Gu Jing's injury was serious or not, but he had no choice but to tell Qin Zeyu about this big mouth, and he would not even say it. It was so annoying! !
Qin Jiao glared at Qin Zeyu on the opposite side. He was itchy. Qin Zeyu who was eating hibiscus cake blinked inexplicably. What happened to his sister? !
It’s useless for Qin Jiu’s heart to be itchy. Gu Jing has faded out of the court since he was injured, and stayed behind closed doors in the Second Prince’s Mansion. He even did not invite anyone to drink with Qin Xin before, but even so, There are always rumors about him in the capital.
It is said that the second prince literally held his concubine in Xinna on the cusp of his heart, relying on her in everything:
It is said that the concubine of the second prince is glamorous and compelling, with a variety of styles, and lost half of the second prince's three souls and seven souls;
It is said that the second prince is very energetic and hangs out with his concubine in the room day and night.
These words didn't know how to spread in the market, the spread was full of rumors, one by one, they were said to be true, even Qin Jiu sent Du Ruo out to buy a box of snacks, and he could hear someone talking.
Du Ruo also knew that these words shouldn't have tainted her girl's ears, but the second prince's concubine was clearly referring to Qin Xin. Du Ruo worried that rumors about Qin Xin would affect her girl's reputation.
Qin Zhuo was dumbfounded, his mouth opened completely round, "This, this..."
This gossip is too great!
Qin Jiu was all excited, and it felt like he had seen hot searches about celebrity couples on Weibo before.
