Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 779 Haze Red

The summer wind swirls across the palace walls, blowing away all sounds without a trace.And those cries and groans that were suppressed in the deep palace also disappeared in this wind.

When the gusts of hot wind passed over the imperial city and fell into the homes of ordinary people from the land of wealth and gold, they became bright again, blowing rows of willow trees and messing up a few strands of hair on the sideburns, like a naughty child walking from the street. Shuttle back and forth in the alleys.

In the Zhong family's house located in Shuijingfang, the metropolitan city, there was a gust of good wind blowing across the garden full of flowers and trees.

Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Mrs. Liu straightened out the hem of her clothes that had been blown by the wind.

She wore a newly cut summer shirt, a moon white embroidered silver lotus leaf wide-sleeved dress, and an eight-panel skirt of stone green peonies with folded branches. They were all the latest styles of Dadu, which made her look several years younger.

A few maidservants were pasting the screens around the window, and Mrs. Liu pointed out: "...you guys, slow down, and put the patterned side outwards, don't reverse it. Be careful when cutting, don't worry about it." Cut from the middle of the bamboo branches, if the leaves are not straight, it will not look good, if anyone comes to visit, they will be laughed at..."

She said this in a hurry, with a relaxed smile on her face, and her expression was full of satisfaction.

The freshly pasted window screens are a pretty hazy red, reflecting the tall sweet-scented osmanthus trees outside the window, making the window appear more silent and the pillow mat cool.

The little servant girls responded in unison, shaking the big window screen flat against the wind, as if carrying a piece of clouds, and another little servant girl took silver scissors and carefully cut it from the edge of the bamboo leaf pattern.

"Er Niang, let's see, do you like this color?" Mrs. Liu looked at the window screen from left to right and waved to the room.

Qin Yanwan, who was sitting by the desk reading a book, heard the words, put down the book in her hand, got up and walked to the window to have a look, then said with a smile: "This color is so vivid and bright, Aunt Zhong really picks it very well. It looks fine to me."

Mrs. Liu then laughed: "I also think this color is good. The three of you sisters live in this yard, and the pear-yueqing window screen looks a bit old, not suitable for you young girls."

Qin Yanwan smiled without saying a word, while Qin Yanzhen who was sitting on the side looked indifferent, staring down at the chessboard in front of her, as if she didn't care about the things around her.

Qin Yantang glanced at her, raised his hand and dropped a sunspot on the chessboard, then picked up the teacup to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhong is so worrying, if I look at it, the original color of the window screen is still the same. cooler."

This made Liu laugh for a while, and he frowned and looked at the three girls in front of him, the smile in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

When the Qin family came to Beijing this time, there were two gentlemen and three young ladies. The house of the Zhong family happened to be in all directions, so it would not be too crowded for so many people.

Don't talk about others, just talk about the three girls of the Qin family, the first one is named Liu Huanxi.

Qin Yanwan is exquisitely beautiful, Qin Yanzhen is elegant and calm, and Qin Yanzhen is beautiful and quiet.Each of the three girls has their own strengths, and they are all beautiful, they can almost dazzle people's eyes.

Every time she sees them, Liu always feels satisfied.

Zhong Dalang is not young anymore, according to her opinion, she really wants to choose one of these three girls as a wife.No matter how bad it is, it is also a good thing to choose a concubine as a concubine.

If it was the past, the girl from the Qin family would not be able to reach the Zhong family, so she would not dare to think about it. In those days, except for Qin Su, a maidservant, the Liu family never thought about it.

But now it's different.

The status of the Qin family in Jiangyang County is not embarrassing now.On the plus side, the birth of a Princess of Jinling in their family is a surprise and an honor to the whole family; but on the downside, Princess Jinling's surname is not Qin after all, and the Qin family's treatment of this princess is really not good .

There are rumors in the county that the Lin family was extremely harsh on this maid in those days, and it could even be said that she was abused. The princess was extremely weak when she returned to the palace, and she even suffered from bone disease at a young age.

With these rumors, the rumors that the Qin family's house is not in good order and the family tradition is not strict gradually spread.

In addition, Qin Yanya, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, was sent to the family temple to be repaired. It was said on the surface that she wanted to pray for her mother and brother, but how could this kind of thing be hidden from others?If Qin Yanya hadn't done something against the family rules, how could a young girl of marriageable age be arranged to go to the family temple for meditation?
Also, Qin Yanzhao and Qin Yanli's brother and sister both died tragically. It is said that they were charged with murder before they died. Qin Yanli was even beheaded by Fan Dalang in public, and his death was tragic.

With so many things happening to the Qin family, how could their reputation be good?Even if there is a Jinling princess, Her Royal Highness treats the Qin family just like that. People with a discerning eye can see it in the eyes, what else can't understand?
Now, Mrs. Qin and the old wives of the two courtyards are both behind closed doors, and the burden of the Qin family falls on Qin Yanzhao, a dissatisfied son. It is hard to say what will happen to the Qin family in the future.

On the other hand, the Zhong family, the Zhong family already had a good reputation in Shangjing, and recently they have gained some fame in the water transport industry. The two have changed. In front of the Qin family, the people of the Zhong family are no longer as short as they used to be. After turning his head, Liu also felt a sense of elation.

Under such circumstances, it seems that it is not so difficult to choose a concubine daughter of the Qin family as Zhong Dalang's wife, or a concubine daughter of the Qin family as Zhong Dalang's concubine.

Of course, this is just a small thought in private. Mrs. Liu hasn't mentioned it to Mrs. Qin, she still wants to wait.

Mrs. Liu still hasn't forgotten the lesson from a year ago.And the iron plate kicked by Qin Su, until now, still makes her feel uncomfortable.

She would never understand, how could she have been deceived by lard back then, and actually wanted to bring the most honorable princess of Dachen into the mansion as Zhong Dalang's concubine?

How did her brain grow?

With Qin Shizhang's excellent demeanor and such a beautiful face, His Royal Highness, could he give birth to such a daughter?

Every time she thinks about this matter, Liu Shi will feel that her whole body is uncomfortable, and her face is even more painful.

How much she put on in front of Qin Su back then, now her face hurts so much.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness, the princess, has a lot of adults, so she didn't care about these things with her, and even rewarded her with things.This made Mrs. Liu, while rejoicing, dare not act too hastily, and just suppressed his thoughts and didn't mention it.

"Aunt Zhong, don't just stand there all the time, sit down and have a rest." Qin Yanwan's soft voice came from next to her ear, and Liu came back to her senses immediately.

She turned her head to look at Qin Yanwan, and then at Qin Yanzhen and Qin Yantang who were playing chess at the side. She felt that the girls of the Qin family were really blessed, and they were all beautiful and pleasing.

"It's better, Awan, remember me as an aunt." Liu patted Qin Yanwan's hand with a smile, picked a begonia drum stool to sit on, took out the gauze scarf to wipe the corners of her lips, and said with feigned anger: "It's better than those two. I know I'm stubborn, so I don't bother my aunt."
