After receiving the notification, Qin Xingyue was brought in by Chuntao, "Second sister, are you free today? I want to go out for a walk, what do you think, second sister?"

Zhou Jiaqing smiled slightly: "Okay, the weather is nice today. I've wasted a good time by staying in the mansion."

Today, the people of Da'an City are open and open. They are not as strict as before. Women are not allowed to show their faces in public, and they must wear curtains to cover their faces when going out.

The two of them met and were about to leave the house. As soon as they reached the door of the house, they met Zhou Jiayun, who was wearing a Bailuodu floral dress embroidered with silver patterns.

Zhou Jiayun saw the two people walking together, especially Zhou Jiaqing, who was dressed more and more beautifully. She was wearing a dark blue satin skirt. The texture and material of the clothes were many times better than hers. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Thinking of her mother's plan, she smiled again and asked earnestly: "Where are my second sister and cousin going?"

Qin Xingyue smiled when she saw this, "I'm going out for a walk casually. I plan to pick out clothes and jewelry for my second sister to wear at the palace banquet. Do you want your fourth sister to come with you?"

When Zhou Jiayun heard that she was going to prepare things for the palace banquet, she felt stuck in her throat. It was the time when the second sister was showing off, and she was outclassed. The better the second sister was, the more she looked bleak.

She was extremely unhappy, and she definitely didn't want to go. She thought about it and then said, "Have you ever gotten your mother's permission to go out?

Having said that, if the folk customs in Da'an City are open again, the ladies and gentlemen in the mansion will have to ask their elders for permission in advance before going out. Even children from poor families cannot go out without saying hello.

Moreover, Zhou Jiayun's mother is now in charge of the Hou Mansion. She has never heard her mother mention that they went out. Going out without saying a word is unruly at best and arrogant and disrespectful at worst. elder!

Da'an, who puts filial piety first, attaches great importance to respecting his elders.

Even if Zhou Jiaqing wins the first place, Zhou Jiayun still wants to pour a few more basins of dirty water on him. The more stains on the first place, the more corrupt his moral character will be. How will he hold his head up at the palace banquet?

Zhou Jiaqing looked calm: "Do you still want to tell your second aunt? I already informed my aunt last night, and my aunt agreed, saying that if I have nothing to do in the house, I can go out more often. I don't have to stay in the house every day, and my eyes are open. Become shallow, get jealous and panic about everything you look at, no matter if it is yours or not, you want it all.”

This shows that she understands the rules and follows the etiquette. She needs the consent of her aunt to leave the house. If her aunt has already agreed, do she still need to ask her second aunt?

This is not unnecessary. If you think about it deeply, you should stop meddling in other people's affairs. My aunt has agreed to it, so why are you, a second aunt, jumping out?

Later, she directly mocked Zhou Jiayun's upbringing. Li Yaxuan always taught women that they should stay at home and stay at home.

They even bluntly stated that the power of running the family does not belong to them.

Angry Zhou Jiayun glared at herself bitterly. Zhou Jiaqing was not satisfied yet, so he pretended to be confused and asked: "Don't you know that my aunt is going to leave Xinan Garden? The fourth sister will leave the house in the future. Remember to ask your eldest aunt for permission." .”

Zhou Jiayun's family relied on the Marquis of Jing'an. There was a mistress in the Marquis of Jing'an's residence, so they had to report their itinerary to the mistress.

Zhou Jiayun ignored her anger and hurried to Lanxinyuan. She wanted to verify with her mother whether what Zhou Jiaqing said was true.

Looking at Zhou Jiayun's leaving figure, Qin Xingyue's eyes flashed and she said vaguely: "Second sister is really getting more and more eloquent."

After the news of Jingan Hou Ji's wife leaving the palace today spreads, it will definitely cause a commotion in the Hou Mansion. She is actually looking forward to the scene of greeting her tomorrow.

In order not to be noticed by Zhou Jiaqing, Qin Xingyue took Zhou Jiaqing around east and west, and skillfully brought Zhou Jiaqing to one of the jewelry shops.

However, looking at this shop and its name, Zhou Jiaqing became more and more confused.

This is... the shop of King Zhou Xie Yuansong. Qin Xingyue and Xie Yuanfu are plotting something under the eyes of King Zhou?

How can it be?

She clearly remembers the outcome of King Zhou. It was not until Xie Yuanfu ascended the throne that he was imprisoned by the emperor for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

If the King of Zhou knew what Xie Yuanfu was planning, would he still let him grow stronger?

This...what is going on?

With his heart full of thoughts, Zhou Jiaqing glanced at it casually and pretended to choose jewelry.

Qin Xingyue picked up a few hairpins and looked at them for a while, "Second sister, look at these hairpins. Are there any you like?"

Zhou Jiaqing picked up one of the hairpins and said, "That's it."

She didn't really go shopping with Qin Xingyue.

The two girls looked like distinguished guests at first glance, and the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him. He said attentively: "Young girls have really good taste. This cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin is of the highest quality. Look at the quality..."

Zhou Jiaqing asked: "How much?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty taels."

Zhou Jiaqing nodded, and was about to ask Qiu Ju behind him to pay the check. Suddenly, the plain satin brocade curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a man in brocade clothes appeared gracefully. This man looked elegant and humble, and he turned out to be Xie Yuanfu!

Zhou Jiaqing's eyes instantly turned cold and his lips tightened. Although he tried his best to control it, the murderous intent was still revealed in the corners of his eyes.

His eyes fell on the hairpin in Zhou Jiaqing's hand, "Shopkeeper, wrap up this hairpin and give it to Miss Zhou."

"okay."

The shopkeeper smiled and took the banknote handed over by the attendant behind the fourth prince, and led them to the house next door, "Everyone, please take a rest here and wait for a while until the little one wraps up the hairpin and delivers it. "

After the shopkeeper left, Qin Xingyue pulled Zhou Jiaqing's sleeves and said, "The daughter of the people, Qin Xingyue, has met the fourth prince. The second sister will pay tribute to the fourth prince."

Zhou Jiaqing stood there without any reaction.

"Miss Qin, please get up. You don't have to be so polite. Miss Zhou is my benefactor. You don't need to salute. It doesn't matter."

Xie Yuanfu put down his princely attitude and spoke kindly, looking humble as if he were an ordinary wealthy child in Da'an City.

Zhou Jiaqing deliberately chose a place farthest away from Xie Yuanfu, sat down, and turned his head to look away. His obvious disdain made Xie Yuanfu look very embarrassed.

Xie Yuanfu's probing eyes fell on Zhou Jiaqing. He didn't know why Zhou Jiaqing avoided him like a snake or a scorpion.

Then I heard Zhou Jiaqing say coldly: "The fourth prince is too polite. The Hou Mansion can still get fifty taels of silver notes."

Xie Yuanfu heard the sarcasm in Zhou Jiaqing's tone and was not angry.

Instead, he said kindly: "Ms. Zhou's words are harsh, I didn't mean it like that. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring."
