Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 162 Rescuing each other in the pavilion, the prince is jealous (3)
Nodding her head, Qiu Mingyue asked doubtfully, "Ma'am?"

The woman said: "Yushitai Zhou Mansion, you can call me Aunt Zhou."

Qiu Mingyue was slightly surprised, and subconsciously looked at Qiu Mingqi, but he was also taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the woman following Mrs. Zhou.When the woman saw his eyes, she was too ashamed to look at others, her face burned like a red cloud.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and pulled her over, "This is the little girl Zhou Ruoyi. Ruoyi, hurry up and meet some girls."

Zhou Ruoyi is only 14 years old. Apart from her initial shyness, she also stepped forward generously at this moment, and said politely, "Ruoyi has met a few younger sisters."

Qiu Mingyue and the others returned the salute, "Sister Zhou is embarrassing my sister."

Qiu Mingxi also came over, "This junior has met Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou smiled to get him up, and looked him over calmly.

"My son is..."

"Junior Qiuming Xi."

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback, "Aren't you the Second Young Master?"

At this time Qiu Minglan came over and pointed at Qiu Mingqi.

"Aunt Zhou, that's my second brother."

When his name was called, Qiu Mingqi finally came back to his senses, bowed his hands politely and said: "Ming Jin has seen Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou looked him up and down, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

"Good good."

Qiu Mingjin was a little embarrassed by her sizing up, and glanced at Zhou Ruoyi, is this his future wife?

When Mrs. Zhou saw his gaze, a smile flashed across her eyes.

"Ruoyi, come here and meet the two sons."

Zhou Ruoyi stepped forward again, her face burned like an apple, and her voice was as low as a gnat.

"Ruoyi has met the second and third sons."

The gentleman of Qiuming brocade returned the gift gracefully, "Miss Zhou is polite."

Seeing his handsome appearance, Zhou Ruoyi described his demeanor as calm and well-mannered without losing the gentleman's demeanor, so she was even more satisfied.

Qiu Mingyue watched from the side. In ancient times, marriage was ordered by parents and matchmakers, and there was no freedom at all.Especially in noble marriages, most of the men and women have never even met each other before entering the bridal chamber.The third wife and Mrs. Zhou have already exchanged Geng Tie, and they can be regarded as unmarried couples.Today's chance encounter here is not due to fate.

Qiu Mingzhu stepped forward, "Auntie, we meet again by chance today, it can be called fate. However, this hall is a place where the Buddha's light gathers, so it will disturb the masters who are chanting scriptures, let's go out and talk."

Mrs. Zhou was thinking about it, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

A group of people came out, and the hall was instantly empty.Mrs. Zhou took Qiu Mingzhu's hand, "May I ask, where is the girl ranked?"

Qiu Mingzhu said: "Mingzhu ranks fourth at home." Then she pointed to Qiu Mingyue and others and introduced them one by one, "This is my fifth sister Mingyue, sixth sister Minglan, seventh sister Mingrong, eighth sister Mingyun, tenth sister Ming Xu."

"This behavior is praying for Buddha. I don't want to meet Aunt Zhou. It's a great honor."

Mrs. Zhou was a kind person, her eyes slowly fell on Qiu Mingyue's face.

"The fifth girl's words just now are amazing. I didn't expect the girl to have such understanding at such a young age. I was really surprised and admired."

Qiu Mingyue said modestly: "But my aunt laughed at her casual remarks. Auntie can just call me Mingyue."

Mrs. Zhou laughed and said: "Okay. The belly of the bright moon is full of poetry and calligraphy, and such an appearance is hard to find in the world. If you don't like me, Ruoyi can't do anything. She just knows how to embroider and play the piano all day long." You are about the same age, you will have to take care of me in the future."

This means that Zhou Ruoyi will marry Qiu Mingjin in the future.

Zhou Ruoyi's face turned red again, and she hid behind Mrs. Zhou, not daring to see anyone.Qiu Mingjin was also slightly embarrassed and did not speak.

Qiu Mingyue secretly laughed, the girl was too shy this week.But thinking about it, women in ancient times rarely had the opportunity to go out, and I am afraid that apart from their father and brother, they have never seen a man outside.No wonder he was so ashamed.She thought of Qiu Mingyu again, wishing to stick her eyes to Xue Yuhua all day long, she was so bold and unrestrained that she didn't look like a lady from a big family at all.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mrs. Zhou for a while, the weather began to gloomy, and after a while, a thunderbolt streaked across the sky.

"Oh, it's going to rain." Madam Zhou frowned, "Let's find a place to sit down."

Qiu Mingzhu said: "When I came here just now, I saw an octagonal pavilion by the lake ahead. Let's go there to shelter from the rain."

"Very good."

Qiu Mingjin and Qiu Mingxi were men, and it was inconvenient for them to be with a group of women, so they said goodbye and left.Due to Zhou Ruoyi's reputation, Mrs. Zhou didn't hold back too much, she just nodded.When Qiu Mingjin left, he looked at Zhou Ruoyi again.Zhou Ruoyi blushed again, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Qiu Mingzhu led the way all the way to the southeast side of the lake, where an octagonal pavilion stood.But at this moment, there was a man in Chinese clothes standing in the pavilion.He stood with his hands behind his back, his face was invisible, only his figure was tall and slender, with his hair tied in a golden crown.The large robe hangs down, and the dark lines of silver threads flow, like the sparkling lake.

Qiu Mingyue was startled, Xue Yuhua, it was him?Even with his back on his back, she could still recognize him at a glance.

Frowning, what is he doing here?
At this time, Xue Yuhua turned around and smiled at her.

"Cousin?" Qiu Minglan was taken aback when she saw him, and then her joy was beyond words.Cousin actually came up the mountain?Hmph, so what if mother lets Third Sister stay in the mansion?Still can't keep my cousin's heart.This time I must seize the opportunity, and I must not miss it again.

It's a good thing Mrs. Zhou is here now, otherwise this large group of boudoir daughters would have to avoid suspicion.The Qiu family and Xue Guohou's residence are related by marriage, and the young ladies of the Qiu family and Xue Yuhua are also cousins.Now that it's about to rain cats and dogs, it makes sense to take shelter here.But Zhou Ruoyi was already engaged to Qiu Mingjin, so it was inconvenient to meet other male protagonists.

Mrs. Zhou frowned, and just wanted the servant girl to take Zhou Ruoyi away, but Xue Yuhua had already walked down.

"The younger generation has met Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, that's all, anyway, there is an elder of her own, so it's nothing, so she smiled again: "So it's Xue Guohou's son, why is he here alone?"

While speaking, a group of people walked up to the pavilion.

Xue Yuhua secretly glanced at Qiu Mingyue, seeing that her eyes were not on him at all, he was slightly disappointed, but he didn't pay attention to Mrs. Zhou's question.

Mrs. Zhou sat down first, seeing that Xue Yuhua was still in a daze, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Sir?"

"Huh?" Xue Yuhua finally came to his senses, and his face was a little different.

"Auntie, the younger generation is rude, I hope Auntie won't be offended."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay."
