"Brother-in-law, sit down. My uncle and I will explain this matter." Upon hearing the prince's words, Qiao Wenqing immediately understood that Shen Qiuhe was worried about Qiao's old intentions.

"Okay!" I didn't expect that Shen Qiuhe would agree so happily.

As they approached, Qiao Wenqing began to wonder if the prince and Shen Qiuhe had jointly set a trap for him to get inside.

Seeing the confusion on Qiao Wenqing's face, Shen Qiuhe couldn't help but laugh, "I'm actually a little afraid of your sister."

If the Gu family members said anything to Qiao Guxin, Shen Qiuhe would not be able to live happily ever after.

As soon as Shen Qiuhe finished speaking, the prince burst into laughter beside him, "It's like this palace is also afraid of Liang Di."

Seeing that her expression was wrong, the prince could not help but become nervous.

Chu Hanyin looked at the prince and then at Shen Qiuhe, and smiled with relief, "All ministers have to learn from His Highness." Then he patted Qiao Wenqing's arm, "Wen Qing will probably be afraid in the future. Bride. ”

Qiao Wenqing couldn't help but think of the girl who had been back in Huancheng for a long time. Seeing her smile happily, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Seeing Qiao Wenqing's ears turning red inexplicably, the prince came over curiously, "Why, does Wenqing have a girl he likes?"

Qiao Wenqing came to his senses and immediately shook his head, "No, not really."

The prince touched his chin and said, "You know, my father likes you to be his son-in-law. Unfortunately, none of the sisters in this palace are suitable for you. I guess some princesses will choose from among them. If you have a girl you like, you should tell this palace in advance." "

Qiao Wenqing smiled and shook his head, "Really not, I'm still waiting for His Highness to talk to me about matchmaking."

After winter comes, the Chinese New Year will soon come, and after the Chinese New Year I will grow one year older.

Hearing what Qiao Wenqing said, the prince smiled. Everyone's choice is different. If he chose the right one, he would have to give up.

As for Qiao Guxin, the imperial edict arrived in the palace soon. This time Qiao Guxin had made meritorious service, and the emperor specially named Qiao Guxin the second-grade Lady Guhe.

Originally, Qiao Guxin was born as the county lord, so those with a higher starting point will also be promoted higher.

In this way, Qiao Guxin can be compared with He. Definitely, he is the first among the young people.

After receiving the imperial edict, the empress in the palace and the concubines have no right to disrespect Qiao Guxin.

When a family member receives a royal decree, it stands to reason that the empress must be rewarded, but this time not only the empress, but also Crown Princess Liangdi and Princess Siyuan were given as gifts.

With so many people taking the lead, none of the masters in the palace would be embarrassed. Even if they don't have a good one, just give them an ordinary gold hairpin.

This honor can be said to be the first in the capital.

It can be said that except for the empress in the palace who has a prince, no one else has such a great honor.

However, what everyone valued more than the reward was Qiao Guxin's fateful friendship with the Crown Princess and Liang Di. If the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, it would be equivalent to having face in front of the Queen and the Concubine. This is terrible. Aren't they the most noble among the female relatives in the capital?

After receiving the reward, Mrs. He watched from the side as boxes of goodies were moved to the second room. She must have been moved, but she also knew that she could not touch these things.

"You have received such a great honor at such a young age. You must be more careful with your words and deeds in the future, so as not to let someone with bad intentions take advantage of you." Waiting for Qiao Guxin to settle down properly, He said from the side with a lukewarm tone.

Qiao Guxin felt slightly blessed, "What mother said is true, my daughter-in-law will definitely pay attention to it."

Mrs. He hummed, she was supposed to go back, but after thinking for a moment, she spoke, "Now that you are doing well, I feel relieved, so that we can only think about how to take care of Chong Yuan. Look at Jiu Qiuhe , let him quickly find a wife for Chongyuan."

"Don't worry, mother, your husband knows it well." Qiao Gu said with a smile on his face, "I don't know what's going on in the palace. He hasn't returned home so late, and the rice in the pot is almost hot and rancid."

As the last word fell, a sigh seemed to escape unconsciously.

If she was a caring mother, she would be wondering at this time whether Shen Qiuhe has not eaten yet.

But He just said lightly, "This is because the palace values ​​him, and it is his blessing."

After hearing He's words, Qiao Guxin couldn't help but chuckle. Can this blessing be given to Shen Chongyuan?

"What mother said is that the palace has given so many things, and my daughter-in-law will go and watch them enter the register first. These things must be kept properly." Qiao Guxin found an excuse and left quickly.

To avoid getting a little idle.

With Qiao Guxin in such a good mood, the family members in the capital all wanted to have a relationship with Qiao Guxin. By the afternoon, the post seemed to have flown into the second room.

After all, Rosary beads and incense have never been seen in this posture, and it is up to Qiao Guxin to decide how to deal with it.

Therefore, Qiao Guxin must read every post carefully.

When Shen Qiuhe came back, Qiao Guxin was reading these things. Each one had to write down how to deal with things, so that the rosary beads and incense could be settled smoothly.

Shen Qiuhe opened the curtain and came in. Seeing this posture, he couldn't help laughing, "I don't know, I thought you were reviewing the memorial."

Qiao Guxin glared at Shen Qiuhe, "Stop talking nonsense!"

After saying that, I couldn't help but frown, "Why does it smell like alcohol?"

After hearing this, Shen Qiuhe quickly took a breath in his hand. It didn't smell like anything. Before entering, he blew the wind for a while to avoid disturbing Qiao Guxin.

"His Highness was very happy today and drank a few drinks with us. However, he was just a little tipsy." Shen Qiuhe explained, looking unconcerned, but still asked the person below to bring him water, and he rinsed it a few times. mouth.

After Shen Qiuhe had tidied up, he walked towards Qiao Guxin. They exchanged rosary beads and incense and exchanged glances, and the two people retreated neatly.

Shen Qiuhe looked at them for a while, with a smile on his lips. These people were all invisible to Qiao Guxin. If he met them selectively, they would definitely leave gossip.

However, they are not stingy. If these people are hosting a banquet, Qiao Guxin will prepare a generous gift, which can be regarded as giving them enough face.

These Qiaos did not intend to offend, but they also maintained the proper distance.

Qiao Guxin handled matters in the inner house very smoothly.

After waiting for Qiao Guxin to be properly dealt with, Shen Qiuhe said, "It was decided in the main hall today that Wen Qing will be promoted to the fourth rank. Master Chu has made meritorious service and jumped three levels in a row, just like Wen Qing when he first entered the court. Enter the official department of the sixth grade."

Originally, the emperor would usually carry young officials with them every New Year, but now they happened to have made meritorious deeds, so they got together.

The two of them were promoted relatively quickly in the court.

After listening to Shen Qiuhe's words, Qiao Guxin's eyes widened with laughter, "This is a good thing, a very good thing."

Although Qiao Wenqing is definitely not as good as Shen Qiuhe, there are only a few who can reach the second rank. Qiao Wenqing has promoted the young ones to the fourth rank. In the future, it can be said that the future is limitless.

This is winter. If it were spring or summer, we would have to entertain everyone to celebrate the happy event.

"What's even better is that the imperial court has issued an order, and my sister-in-law can come back in spring." In any case, Qiao Wenzhi also followed the prince there, and she must have had a share of the credit.

And Feng Zhaoan's ability has also been demonstrated. After he left, he was diligent and caring for the people, and thought of so many ways. Naturally, the court would cherish talents.

She still remembered that when Feng Zhaoan left Beijing, Shen Qiuhe had made a promise to Qiao Guxin that he would be able to bring Feng Zhaoan back within five years, but now it is less than a year.

Qiao Guxin wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Wen Zhi finally got her wish."

If Feng Zhaoan returns to the capital again, if nothing happens, he will not be decentralized. By then, the two of them will live a good life. Isn't this the best thing?

Qiao Gu thought to himself, and then he took a note, and when he was waiting for the New Year's gift, he would give more to Qiao Wenzhi.

The Feng family's house has not been occupied by its owner for more than half a year. When the time comes, it will be repaired and some furniture will be added inside and outside. All this will require money.

Feng Zhaoan's monthly salary needs to be divided into three parts, and there will definitely not be that much.

Seeing Qiao Guxin busy there, Shen Qiuhe simply pulled up a chair and sat behind Qiao Guxin.

After waiting for Qiao Guxin to finish his busy work, he looked back and saw that Shen Qiuhe was still sitting there, and couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong with you?"

"You finally saw me." Shen Qiuhe rubbed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he sat down again.

Seeing that Qiao Guxin's table had been cleared, Shen Qiuhe pulled up a chair and sat forward, "I mentioned to you before that I wanted to find a child from the clan to take over and raise. Now tell me Tell me, what do you think?"

If Shen Qiuhe hadn't mentioned this matter, Qiao would have forgotten all about it, "You have the final say in this matter."

To put it bluntly, it was just to find a reading companion for Shen Chongyuan.

Shen Qiuhe took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and drew a little boy on it. He looked to be about six or seven years old and should be about the same age as Shen Chongyuan. "I asked Wang Si to pay attention. It happened that there was such a child in the clan, and his parents were He became seriously ill and passed away, and now he is staying at his uncle's house."

Qiao Guxin leaned over and took a closer look at the child, who was quite handsome and clever. "He looks like he should be blessed."

How could both parents die?

"When did you learn to read faces?" Shen Qiuhe said jokingly.

"Let's get down to business." Qiao Guxin rolled his eyes at Shen Qiuhe impatiently, feeling more and more that Shen Qiuhe talked a lot of nonsense.

Shen Qiuhe coughed lightly, "What I mean is, keep this child in our name."

Qiao Guxin was stunned for a moment, then he sat upright and tapped the tabletop with his hand, meaning that this was not only Shen Chongyuan's companion, but also the adopted son of his second wife, and from now on he would also be the son of the Duke's mansion.

Qiao Guxin turned his head slightly to the side, "If you want a child, wouldn't it be enough to have a few concubines?"

If a concubine gave birth to two children, he would be given eight concubines. This would mean sixteen children, which is quite a big family.

Seeing that Qiao Guxin's expression was not right, Shen Qiuhe tugged at his clothes uneasily, "I've done it before, so I know it, so I'm not surprised."

Some words may seem pretentious when spoken, but they cannot be explained clearly if left unsaid. After Shen Qiuhe finished speaking, his gaze moved to the side unnaturally, not daring to look at Qiao Guxin.

These words are also from my heart.

The whole house was filled with smiles, and without her there would be no meaning.
