Chapter 43 Lantern Festival 1
After the son was poisoned, Zhenbei Hou Qinshuo became ruthless, killing or selling dozens of slaves in the mansion one after another, and carried out a big cleansing in the mansion.At the same time, in order to enforce the ethos in the mansion, he listed ten iron laws in the Hou's mansion, and said that if anyone dared to defy the law, he would be dealt with as a crime of treason according to the rules, and all of them would be killed.

As soon as Qin Shuo's words came out, all the slaves in Zhenbeihou's mansion were silent, everyone felt insecure, they all tightened their skins, and raised the 12 points to be very careful.

Qin Shuo also figured it out afterward. The bottom line of this incident was that the old lady and the Zhou family did not get along. The old lady was confused and was deceived by Diao Nu.Mrs. Zhou is a daughter-in-law, so it's not easy to criticize her mother-in-law.So he was taken advantage of by Diao Nu.Second, although Mrs. Zhou is shrewd and capable, she is physically weak and has limited energy. She cannot cover many things in every detail, and some negligence is inevitable.

So in private, Qin Houye called his daughter Qin Fenghua into the study, first praised his daughter, and then told Qin Fenghua to help her mother, the Zhou family, to share the household affairs in the mansion, and Qin Shuo also specifically told not to worry about the old lady Qin, Let Qin Fenghua rest assured and boldly rectify the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

After all, Qin Fenghua was a queen in her previous life, and someone who managed a huge harem, so it's no longer a problem to take care of a Zhenbeihou's mansion. Since her father told her to let her go, she no longer hesitated and made up her mind to do it. He must use all his strength to tidy up the Hou Mansion.

While Qin Fenghua was busy rectifying the Hou's Mansion, she received a letter from Zhao Shiyan, which said that he would not return to the Hou's Mansion because he was going to give an order to preach at Qingyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing recently.He left a medical book for Qin Fenghua in the hospital where he was originally staying, and asked Qin Fenghua to concentrate on studying during his absence.At the same time, he also asked the little boy who delivered the letter to stay at the mansion in order to take care of Qin Mu's condition.

Zhao Shiyan's affairs were arranged so properly, what else could Qin Fenghua say, and he naturally let him go.After all, Zhao Shiyan didn't run away and was still in the capital.If there is any urgent matter, it would be fine to go to the suburbs of Beijing to find him. Naturally, Qin Fenghua couldn't force him to stay in the Hou's mansion until Qin Mu recovered.

So the busy days came to July, and the Lantern Festival in Daxia came.

The Lantern Festival is a festival created by the folks to commemorate Prince Renhuai who died 20 years ago.

When Prince Renhuai passed away, Qin Fenghua was not yet born. Qin Fenghua only knew from the occasional words of his elders that Prince Renhuai should be a wise prince who could understand the hardships of the people and love the people very much, so he had a high reputation among the people and was extremely loved After his death, the people specially created a festival to commemorate him.

When Qin Fenghua was young, he heard that someone originally set up a temple for the statue of Prince Renhuai to enshrine him as Prince Mingdeng, but for some reason, in the 21st year of Yongjia, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, prohibiting people from setting up private temples to worship wild gods without the imperial court's permission. , So in the same year, the statue of Prince Mingdeng was destroyed, the temple was smashed, and only the custom of the Mingdeng Festival remained.

But today's Lantern Festival has a different taste. In addition to commemorating the lantern prince, there is also a meaning of releasing sky lanterns to pray for blessings.

On this day, after the thunderstorm, the sky was clear and the weather was not very hot. Wutong and a few maidservants were making colorful nets on the porch outside the house, while Qin Fenghua was alone in the house, with his fingers flying on the abacus, focusing on sorting out accounts.

Yesterday, shopkeeper Zhu of Tonghe Pharmacy on North Street sorted out the accounts of the pharmacy for the last quarter and sent them over. Today, Qin Fenghua was able to take the time to take a closer look.

Just as Qin Fenghua was concentrating on the account book, suddenly, a clear and crisp sound resounded in the room. Qin Fenghua was attracted and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a window over there was half closed, and a small stone hit the half closed window with a "dumb" sound.

Qin Fenghua slowly put down the ledger, picked up the silk handkerchief in his hand, covered his pink lips lightly, and smiled softly.

Qin Fenghua walked to the window lightly, leaned over and looked out, and said with a smile: "I said Rong Xiaoshi, what are you doing?"

Qin Fenghua and Rong Jing played together since childhood.When she was a child, Rong Jing often came to Zhenbeihou's mansion to play with her, instead of calling her by the main entrance, he liked to hit her window with pebbles to call her, which probably meant to tell her that my young son Rong is here!

Unexpectedly, now that both of them have grown up, Rong Jing still uses this trick to attract her attention.

Qin Fenghua looked at Rongjing with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "You smashed my window, but you have to pay for it!"

"If you pay, you will pay," Rong Jing said, while supporting the window sill with one hand, with a single effort, he easily climbed over the low window. After landing, he raised his peach eyes and smiled brightly. Looking at Qin Fenghua carefully, he joked, "How about I pay Miss Qin myself?"

Qin Fenghua flicked the handkerchief in his hand towards his face, and also scolded with a smile: "Bah! Shameless, who cares about you!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Fenghua went back to the table and reassembled her calculations. She hadn't finished dealing with today's accounts.

Rong Jing didn't take Qin Fenghua's scolding to heart, and followed Qin Fenghua to the table, sat down opposite her and said, "Fenghua, do you know what day it is today?"

Qin Fenghua asked back without raising his head, "What date?"

Looking at Qin Fenghua's appearance, Rong Jing sighed helplessly, her fiancée was really busy, she was so busy that she almost threw herself into the mountain of ledgers, and she didn't even have time to look up at him.

So in order for Qin Fenghua to look up at him, Rong Jing let out a long sigh: "Oh~"

"Crackling..." the abacus sounded.

Rong Jing gritted his teeth, and sighed louder: "Alas~"

"Crackling..." Qin Fenghua still didn't hear it.

Rong Jing was angry, and felt that Qin Fenghua didn't care about him at all, so he mustered all his energy and sighed loudly towards Qin Fenghua who bowed his head: "Alas! Ha!"

"Ah? Ah?!" Qin Fenghua was finally brought back to his senses by Rongjing's movement, she looked at Rongjing blankly and said, "Ah? What did you just say?"

Seeing that Qin Fenghua didn't even remember what he said just now, and he was clearly trying to put himself off, his cheeks puffed up in anger. He turned his head and purposely raised his head not to look at Qin Fenghua, and said angrily, "Huh! You Don't care about me at all, don't say good things a second time, I won't tell you! I'm angry."

After finishing speaking, his eyes frequently glanced at Qin Fenghua's side, meaning, I'm angry, come and coax me.

Qin Fenghua: ...Who is this elementary school chicken?

She discovered that since she and Rongjing expressed their intentions, Rongjing began to reveal her childhood nature from time to time, arrogant, domineering, possessive, like a bear child, the more she lived, the more she returned...
