Chapter 60 Pigments
In Qin Yanghou's mansion, a banquet is over. Qin Yanghou not only gained face, but also gained a good reputation, and his mood became brighter and brighter.

He was about to go to the Yue Primary School, when he saw the housekeeper directing his subordinates to move the potted plants that were used for viewing today back to the backyard, he couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Who will organize this banquet?"

The butler said respectfully: "Master, it's Mrs. Pan. You handed over the power of the house to Mrs. Li. This banquet should be hosted by Mrs. Li. It's just that Mrs. Li didn't know how to deal with many problems, so she asked Mrs. Pan to help her." .”

Qin Yanghou had neglected Mrs. Pan for a long time, only then did he realize that it was thanks to Mrs. Pan that the house was well organized in the past, and he never worried about it.

"Thank you for her hard work."

Qin Yanghou stepped into Yue Junior Court with mixed feelings.

Li Qingchu brought a pipa tonight. She lived in Yangzhou for five years and learned a lot of Yangzhou ditties.Qin Yanghou poured a glass of wine, listened to her bouncing and dancing, recalled the conversation with the housekeeper earlier, and suddenly asked: "Chu Niang, how are you preparing for your majesty's birthday ceremony next month?"

After all, Li Qingchu is only 17 years old and has no experience in managing a house, so Qin Yanghou can understand that he can't hold a banquet.For such a simple thing as preparing a birthday gift, Li Qingchu is exquisite and intelligent, so she should not be able to do it well.

Li Qing froze at the beginning when she fiddled with the pipa, and soon put on a bright smile: "I have already made a list of gifts. It's just... Lord Hou, I have recently checked the account books of the Hou Mansion and found that the treasury can be used now. There are still some things not enough. The housekeeper said that there are still a few shops that Sister Pan is managing, can I get some from Sister Pan?"

Those few shops are firmly held by Pan's hands, where does the warehouse of the Hou Mansion get spare money to buy birthday gifts?Presumably, Mrs. Pan had guessed that such a day would come, so she generously handed over the account book.

When Li Qingchu thought of this, her teeth itch with anger.This old lady has a lot of tricks to rub people.Fortunately, Master Hou's heart is with her, wouldn't it be fine to act like a baby?Qin Yanghou is the master of this Houfu.

However, Qin Yanghou, who has always indulged her in every possible way, did not readily hand over the management of the shop to her as she imagined, but fell into a dilemma.

Qin Yanghou naturally remembered where these shops came from.

This is the dowry of Princess Yongning. These shops should have been left to Shu Yao. Shu Yao was young, so he took care of them, and he handed them over to Pan.

The few shops are trivial, but if Shu Yao finds out, she will definitely make a fuss.This kind of matter still needs to be handled by Mrs. Pan. Li Qingchu has only been in the mansion for two months. If she doesn't understand these twists and turns, Qin Yanghou can't trust her.

"You've just started running the house, so don't be so anxious. If you have any questions, you can ask Su Niang for advice, and she will teach you."

Li Qingchu's smile froze, she strummed the strings of the pipa, and obediently said: "I know."

Qin Yanghou had a few drinks and gradually became drunk.Li Qingchu leaned back, dropped her pipa, and sat in Qin Yanghou's arms: "Master Hou..."

Qin Yanghou was also intrigued by such a tease.Just as he was about to kiss her, he inevitably thought of Mrs. Pan, what is she doing now?Are you still busy tidying up the mansion?
He hadn't stayed in Pan's yard for a long time, and when he thought about it carefully, he had ignored Pan's family for nearly two months because of the Li family's affairs, but Pan didn't say a word, and was still behind his back. He pays.

"You should rest earlier," Qin Yanghou couldn't sit still, let go of Li Qingchu, and said, "Benhou is going back first."

"Where are you going?"

Li Qingchu pulled Qin Yanghou's sleeve, winking like silk, "What's the matter, it's not too late to go back and deal with it tomorrow morning..."

"Don't mess around, Chu Niang," Qin Yanghou pushed her away, "I do have something to do, you should rest first."

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Qin Yanghou striding away from Yuechu Courtyard, Li Qingchu angrily chopped off her feet.She has been preparing for this pipa dance for a long time, how could he just leave?Did he go to see Pan Su Niang?
……

The place where Mrs. Pan lives is called Qingfangyuan.When Qin Yanghou came in, Pan Shi was hugging five-year-old Shu Ningzhi, teasing him with small toys.

"Master Hou, why are you here?"

Seeing Qin Yanghou, Pan's face showed surprise, she lifted her skirt and was about to salute, when Qin Yanghou held her down, "No, you hold Zhi'er well."

Shu Ningzhi opened his hands to Qin Yanghou, and said vaguely: "Father, Daddy, I want to hug."

The youngest son is cute and cute, Qin Yanghou's heart is so soft that it is a mess, looking at Pan's gentle face, Qin Yanghou couldn't help but said: "I haven't come for a long time, I have worked hard on you during this time."

Pan smiled: "This is all a concubine's business, as long as I can share the worries of Lord Hou, I will be very happy as a concubine."

"Chu Niang has just started learning how to run a house, so it is inevitable that there will be things she doesn't know. You should help her a little bit," Qin Yanghou said, "Go into the house."

Pan hugged Shu Ning Zhiwen and said hello.

She has long passed the age of competing with young ladies, so she doesn't bother to use such low-level methods.Qin Yanghou's love for Li Qingchu was only a novelty for a while. After these few years, without the advantage of age, how long will Qin Yanghou still love Li Qingchu?
Who has never been young and beautiful, if you want to keep a man's heart, you can't rely on appearance alone.

The two took off their clothes and lay on the bed. Mrs. Pan leaned on Qin Yanghou's arms, and said softly: "I see Lord Hou looking sad. Is there anything bothering you recently?"

A woman's tenderness is like water, melting Qin Yanghou's hard heart.Qin Yanghou's thoughts moved slightly, and he couldn't help expressing his troubles: "Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, Su Niang, this Marquis wants to buy a birthday gift for His Majesty."

……

It rained again in Beijing today.

The map has been basically completed, and the next step is to color it.In the past two days, Shu Yao went to the painting academy several times on the grounds that she wanted to learn painting, but she felt that the paints were too ordinary and not what she wanted.

"Most of the pigments needed for painting are ground from ore. You can take the princess to the shops in the capital to see if there are any suitable ores. Chunjiang Huayuelou should also sell these."

Li Mingji walked over, put a cloak on Shu Yao, and said gently, "The weather is getting colder, the princess should keep warm."

The poncho is scarlet, embroidered with peony flowers, and decorated with a circle of rabbit fur on the top. It is warm and velvet, and feels good to the touch.Shu Yao was wrapped in a wide cloak, her red face brushed against the snow-white rabbit fur, like a little rabbit, cute and soft.

"Then find a time to go out of the palace."

"Princess, this is from the prince's servant, saying it's for you..." Chunrui came in with a box in her arms, and when she opened it, there were several pieces of cinnabar, blue gold stone, and some pearl mills inside. The resulting powder is exactly the pigment Shu Yao needs.
