Flowers are expensive

Chapter 550
Xixi didn't even respond to calling Zhuang Yunxian twice, she turned her head and saw her hugging her boss Ce Ling and looking out of the window in a daze, her eyes looked particularly melancholy.After Xixi called her again, she finally came to her senses, turned around and asked, "Do you want to breastfeed?"

"What is breastfeeding? Where is it? Sister Zhuang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing... Maybe I'm just a little tired."

"Really tired?"

"Are you ashamed to say it? In order to take care of you three little guys these days, who is not tired, Qiao Yuan or I? It's okay, Ling'er is asleep too," Zhuang Yunxian said while putting Ce Ling on the bed. In the cradle, "I'm going downstairs for a walk, there are girls here, so rest assured!"

After Zhuang Yunxian finished speaking, she turned and left the room, and went downstairs.Xixi glanced at her back, then turned to ask Qiao Yuan, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yuan came over and sat down and said, "What else could it be for? You should have guessed it."

"Shuangqin?"

"That girl has a strong temper, and she didn't say a word to her on the way back. She is also a hard-tempered person, and she couldn't keep her face from trying to please Shuangqin, so the mother and daughter just got into a fight. Shuangqin and Yan'er were upstairs just now. It’s time to play, that’s why she was so engrossed in watching.”

Xixi said emotionally: "Sister Zhuang is a poor person. After finding her daughter back with great difficulty, she didn't cling to her, and she didn't call her mother. How can she not be sad? But then again, Shuangqin and her more than ten years ago I haven't seen her for years, how could I accept her in an instant? This can only be done slowly."

"I also persuaded her in the same way. There is no need to rush this matter. If Master Bingcan can come back, it will be much easier. I listen to Shuangqin's tone, and I really like her father."

"Really? I don't know when Bingshuai will be able to..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of thumping footsteps on the stairs, as well as the laughter of Shuangqin Yaner.Wu Ye, who was coaxing Xi Wei to sleep in the outer hall, hurriedly told them: "Keep your voice down, two ladies, the young master has fallen asleep inside!"

The two hurriedly lowered their voices, and walked in together happily.Qiao Yuan asked, "When did Le Cheng do this?"

"We're talking about setting off firecrackers," Shuangqin said with a smile on her face. "Auntie ordered someone to buy some firecrackers and come back. I plan to have a good time before lunch to congratulate Aunt Liang."

Xixi said: "That's really troublesome for her."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said: "This is what it should be. You are sitting here during the confinement period, and even the full moon wine should be served here, so that you can live up to the good intentions of the Qi Palace! By the way, Qin'er, didn't you see your mother? She just went downstairs."

"No!" When Zhuang Yunxian was mentioned, the smile on Shuangqin's face faded, as if she really didn't like Zhuang Yunxian.

After Xixi and Qiao Yuan looked at each other, they asked her, "Qin'er, don't you like your mother too much?"

Shuangqin shook her body with her hands behind her back, looked down at the pearls on her boots and said, "I don't like her, that's all!"

"Then what do you think of your mother?"

"Well... not so good, she's a bit stupid, but she looks okay. I think my dad probably likes her face!"

Both Xixi and Qiao Yuan laughed.Xixi beckoned Shuangqin over, and said to her, "Didn't you say that people who look at looks are too superficial? Do you think your father is so superficial?"

Shuang Qin thought for a while and said, "My father... I heard from my grandfather that he is very smart and capable."

"He is absolutely capable. Think about it. At that time, your uncle Yuanyin lost his mother when he was only eight years old. Your father was the only one to take care of him! Your father is not very old, he is only in his teens. Well, can't you do it? Then what do you think of your Uncle Yuanyin?"

"Smart and skilled!"

"Isn't it? If your father can't do it, can your Uncle Yuanyin be both smart and skilled? So how can your father, who is so capable, just covet your mother's beauty? Right?"

After hearing Xixi's words, Shuangqin pouted slightly, but did not refute.Qiao Yuan also said: "Your mother used to spend the most time with me. She was a little short-tempered and impatient, but she was very down-to-earth. She was a heroine. You get along with her." It won't be long, and after a long time together, you will find that your arrogance is quite similar to that of your mother."

"Like it?" Shuangqin asked, pouted and rolled her eyes.

"Like, how come it doesn't look like it?" Xixi nodded and said, "When you go back to Prince You's Mansion in the future, you will find out by yourself when you get along slowly."

"Go back to Prince You's Mansion? I didn't say I would go back to Prince You's Mansion. I will go wherever my grandfather goes. I can't leave my grandfather behind."

"No one said they would leave your grandfather behind! When your father returns from the Northwest Daying, he will also pick up your grandfather to live in Youwang Mansion for the elderly. Your father has a Huai'an residence in the Wang Mansion. Expand it further, and create a few more rooms. Qin'er, what kind of room do you like? Tell your aunt, and your aunt will ask the craftsman to draw a pattern for you to follow."

"Can you?" Shuangqin seemed a little moved.In her memory, she and her grandfather often wandered between mountains and rivers, and rarely settled down in a certain place, let alone build her favorite house according to her ideas.

Seeing that Shuangqin was tempted, Xixi quickly gave Qiao Yuan a wink, and then said, "Yes! You don't know that your Uncle Yuanyin has decided to open the southern wall for your Uncle Zhaoxun's marriage. , and expand a few yards in the future. As long as you like, you can build any kind of yard you want. Think about it, your Aunt Qiao will live there in the future, how lively everyone is together! By the way By the way, there are also your Uncle Yan and Sister Que Ling, your sister Que Ling is just like you, although she is young, she is very capable! How about it, go back and think about your sketch carefully, and Auntie will help you to change it?"

Shuang Qin puffed her cheeks, as if she was still hesitating.Qiao Yuan hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "It happens that I also have to think about how your Uncle Zhaoxun's yard will be repaired, and the two of us will think about it together. Otherwise, our two yards will still be next to each other, and a small bridge will be built in the middle to separate the pond from the pond. It's so pleasant to draw water here and make a small stream! You can still learn swordsmanship from your father on it!"

"Can my father play swords?" Shuangqin asked curiously.

"Yes, apart from being able to play swords, archery is also top-notch. Your uncle Yuanyin and Uncle Zhaoxun's archery skills were all taught by your father!" Xixi said.

"Really!" Shuangqin laughed with an expression of admiration.

"it is true……"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Ye hurried in with Xi Wei in her arms and said, "Ma'am, the princess of Mingzhu is not resting anymore!"

"What's the matter?" It turns out that the Wanghe Tower is at the highest point of Prince Qi's mansion. When Wuye was coaxing Xiwei to sleep in the outer hall just now, she took a casual look outside and saw Min's and Mingyue in a small courtyard not far away. Stopped Mingzhu with an angry face and said something.

That Mingzhu didn't seem to listen to persuasion very much, grabbed a burden and wanted to rush out, surrounded by many servants, making a fuss.

After listening to Wu Ye's words, Xixi said: "If I'm not wrong, she wants to run away from home. This pearl really has never suffered. It's just a lovelorn, and she wants to leave so disregarding the safety of Prince Qi's mansion." The family ran away. If the people from the Zuo family were to catch a threat, there would be another trouble."

Qiao Yuan shook her head helplessly and said, "Just now Zhao Xun and I persuaded her for a long time in the farmhouse, but she didn't pay any attention, just sulked. She was raised from a young age, how could she bear such idleness?"

"The feelings don't matter whether they are high or low. Whether she grows up through hardships or loves her like pearls and jade, things about feelings cannot be forced. Don't bother with them, Prince Qi's mansion is in charge of it."

Qiao Yuan talked to Xixi again, and Xixi was really sleepy, she tilted her head and fell asleep.Seeing that the three children were fast asleep, Qiao Yuan told the maids to watch, and went downstairs alone.When he was about to reach the Mingzhu Courtyard, he could only hear the noise in the courtyard.That Mingzhu's voice was the brightest: "You didn't care about me, but you welcomed that Qiao Yuan in, are you still a family? I might as well leave this house and live outside so that you won't be bothered by looking at me!"

"What's this called?" Min's voice sounded, "Mingzhu, I, a sister-in-law, can't stop you if you want to make a fuss, but you have to wait until your father comes back to talk about it! gone, what is that?"

"My dad doesn't care about me either! What am I doing staying here?"

"Dongguo Mingzhu, do you know how to do it?" Mingyue's angry voice blew up half the sky, and she wouldn't let Mingzhu get angry.

"It's up to you! I'm your sister, do you know the size?"

"If you want to get out of this palace, what kind of sister are you? Believe it or not, if you leave this palace today, father will definitely not recognize you as a daughter!"

"If you don't recognize me, don't recognize me! He hasn't recognized me for a long time! He actually asked me to get Brother Zhaoxun away from Qiao Yuan. Is this what he did as his own father? You get rid of Dongguo Mingyue, and if you don't let me go, I can do it." up!"

"Do it? Who can you beat with your three-legged cat kung fu? It's almost the same as Yan'er with two moves!"

"Get out of the way or not?"

"No!"

The two sisters were quarreling fiercely in the yard wiping their sleeves and grabbing their swords.Mrs. Min couldn't persuade or pull at the side, so she simply ignored them and let them make trouble.When Mrs. Min pulled Yan'er out of the courtyard gate, she looked up and saw Qiao Yuan, and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Qiao, what's the matter? Are you looking for Zhao Xun? He just went out and planned to pick me up at the gate of the palace." Father-in-law and Yuan Yin and the others."

"Oh, it's okay, I just want to go out and buy some things."

"Why do you need to go there yourself if you want to buy something, just tell the girl."

"Don't bother me, I'll go out for a walk." Qiao Yuan glanced into the yard and asked, "Princess Mingzhu is still not feeling well?"

Mrs. Min shook her head repeatedly and said, "What is Shu Tan? With her temperament, it is estimated that she will not be comfortable after half a year! Miss Qiao, I have heard about you and Zhao Xun. You are a large number of people, don't take it to heart. That's right. Mingzhu's mouth is a little bit bad, but her heart is not bad, but she is not convinced that Zhao Xun will not marry her."

"I understand, then I'll go first."

"Okay, take a walk slowly, there is still more than half an hour before noon!"

"understood."

The Min family took Yan'er to prepare the noon feast.Qiao Yuan left the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion and walked towards the east of the city.In the east of the city, there is a stronghold of Qingyue Hall.Even though she has already become half of Youwang Mansion, she still has not forgotten that she was born in Qingyue Hall, this is the principle of Qiao Yuan's life.

In order to avoid being followed, Qiao Yuan deliberately walked around the street before going to the pastry shop.After delivering the news, she bought a few boxes of shortbread and glutinous rice snacks, and headed out.On the way back, she suddenly remembered something, so she stopped a random person and asked, "Where is the best golden building here?"

The man pointed to the south: "There is Jinbaolai on Nancheng Street, which is not bad, but the road is a bit far away. If you want to get closer, there is Pearl Tower in Furong Alley in front. It is also good, and the price is fair. .”

"Thank you!"

Qiao Yuan went to Furong Alley in the direction pointed by the man.She wanted to order a gold vessel for Zhao Xun, because Zhao Xun had given her things for so long, and she had never given Zhao Xun anything except that strand of hair.She knew that Zhaoxun liked Xiaoyao weighing, so she planned to make a small gold weight as a hanging ornament for Zhaoxun.
