spring boudoir secret

Shuixiu said a few more polite words to Yun Suiwan, and finally explained, "Then madam, after I have told you, please don't tell others, otherwise I am afraid that I will be kicked out by the second madam."

"It's natural, just say it."

Seeing Yun Suiwan's hateful face that he forgot to pretend, Shuixiu is really speechless. She is used to seeing all kinds of men and women, and she can tell what kind of character this kind of person is just by looking at it. It's a little uncomfortable to be an idiot and weak chicken.

Thinking of the kindness of the Second Madam, she still suppressed her disgusting smirk, "After the Second Madam left from our Aunt Yao, she ordered Sister Ah Fu to set up a carriage, saying that she... said that she was going out to meet a very important person. people, but they don’t know who they see as servants.”

Yun Suiwan secretly got excited, "Meeting a very important person?"

There is nothing important about Zhao Mingruo in the Changning Mansion, and the people that the Hou Mansion can see don't have to go out. Could it be that...they are raised outside?
That's it, the Marquis of Anyuan has inherited the title for generations, how could such a great power really come to the point of poverty, it must be that Zhao Mingruo was pocketed, and took the money from the Marquis to raise a poor face outside!

Let's see how she let her down this time!

"Xiuxiu, this matter concerns the face of the Hou Mansion. You must not casually mention it in front of others, lest it will affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion."

"The servant knows."

Of course, it's just for you greedy idiot.

-

The carriage traveled all the way and stopped at Yuanshui Hutong.

Although they are all in Lin'an City, there are differences in different places. The streets near the imperial city are the most prosperous, while these places on the edge are more desolate.

Zhao Mingruo got out of the car and took Ah Fu to walk on the path piled up with gravel, searching for the location according to Shuixiu's instructions, and soon found a poor gate.

The wooden door looks a bit worn out, it has been hit by heavy rain many times, and it has been exposed to the scorching sun. The wood in the corner is already rotten, and it will probably fall off if it is lightly touched.

The master and servant stood outside the door tacitly, without saying much.

At this point, according to what Shuixiu said, it should be the time when Qin Ziming went home to rest and eat. Sure enough, a man of the right age wearing a blue gown appeared at the corner of the alley after a while.

He is thin and thin, but not weak. There is a scholarly righteousness between his brows, and his eyes are even firmer. He hurriedly walked, opened the door and greeted the woman who was working in the yard with a smile, "Mother, your health is not good." , go back to rest, these jobs my son will help you when he comes back from work."

The 50-year-old woman was full of vicissitudes of life, and her eyes were reddened with distress when she saw her son's dusty appearance. She didn't say anything, and lowered her head to bring the food to the table.

Qin Ziming looked at the woman and persuaded sadly, "Mother, don't feel sorry for your son. You have your own way out. The family situation is already difficult. My father passed away early. It is the mother who sews, washes, and washes for others with both hands to support my son's education." , It’s not easy to be a scholar, how can my son sit in the school, really don’t hear anything outside the window, and enjoy what mother has done for his son with peace of mind.”

"Now that my son can earn money to support the family, mother, you can take a good rest."

"Wait until my son earns enough money, and then bring back the flowers. Then our family will really enjoy the blessing."

As soon as Yao Hua was mentioned, the tears in the woman's eyes could not be stopped. She had suffered so much and suffered so much to raise her son. At the age of 15, she became a scholar. The rich and powerful are not inferior to others, but now they can only make money from coolies, how can she not feel distressed.

"It's all my mother's fault. If my mother didn't arrange this marriage for you..."

Her son is really too stubborn, even if he admits to one thing, even nine cows can't pull it back.

Qin Ziming interrupted the woman's words, "Mother, it's fortunate that you arranged the marriage for me back then. I like flowers, and I have loved them since I was a child. If there is no such marriage, I just want to work hard to pick her up. It’s good enough now.”

The woman burst into tears, "But...Hua'er is already married, why don't you go to her husband's house to redeem her, it's all mother's fault."

The money for the redemption is like a sky-high price, even if my son died of exhaustion for decades, he still wouldn't be able to earn it.

"The clothes are almost dry. I'll come back to collect them at night, but Mom, I don't think the weather is right. It's almost March, but it's still so cold. To avoid other situations, my son will buy more vegetables and medicine for you at night."

Qin Ziming interrupted his mother's words, "And mother, don't worry, my son only works during the day and can study at night, so don't worry if he doesn't delay the exam."

Zhao Mingruo pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm sorry, I came in without your permission. We passed by and wanted to ask for a bowl of water, is that okay?"

"of course can."

Qin Ziming readily agreed, and soon came over with a bowl of hot water.

Zhao Mingruo took it and drank it, and looked at his home calmly. Although poor, it was clean and tidy. Qin Ziming was very open-minded and diligent. He was indeed a good person as Yao Hua and Shuixiu said, but his family suffered a lot. not good.

Thinking about it, if he didn't do it himself, Hua'er would be taken home by him sooner or later.

No matter three years or five years, ten years or 20 years, he will do it anyway.

"Thank you."

Zhao Mingruo returned the bowl, and asked with a smile, "Brother, I'm a little lost, I wonder if you can go out and see me off?"

"Row."

Qin Ziming asked, "Mother, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Madam, I don't know where you are going, so I will show you the way now."

Zhao Mingruo stopped in his tracks, and said frankly, "I am the second wife of the Marquis of Anyuan. I heard that you are talented and learned, and I want to invite you to come to the Marquis's mansion as an accountant. It costs five taels of silver per month. As long as the accounts do not make mistakes, you can be free at other times. arrange."

Qin Ziming's expression changed, "You..."

He knew that Hua'er was going to be an aunt in Anyuan Hou's mansion, and Hua'er told him that this matter should be kept secret before leaving. Zhao Mingruo suddenly appeared, and his heart skipped a beat. Something happened to the government?"

"She is very good. Since I invited her to the Hou Mansion, I will take good care of her and not let her be wronged."

"It's just that you really plan to take Hua'er away one day? I'm sorry to hear what you and your mother said, but what she said is right. Hua'er is already married, so she can't get married again." Let her go with you casually, even if you save enough money, the Hou Mansion may not let her go."

Zhao Mingruo also wanted to ask Hua'er if there was any grudge in Qin Ziming's heart.

Don't look at the two people who are deeply in love with each other now, but life after marriage is not so simple, some are just trivial matters, a small conflict before marriage will become the key to the breakdown of their relationship after marriage.
