Although Qin Luochuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. You must know that his father is so embarrassing. If he struggled with the monthly money for these people's selling money, it would be too embarrassing for his father.

But Uncle Fu seemed to know what he was thinking, smiled and touched an account book and said: "This is the account book, the young master's...money in the past few years, in addition to the usual maintenance of the house, and everyone's monthly money, The rest bought these few people, and there are still some left, the young master wrote to say that they will be handed over to you together with the things in the warehouse."

After a pause, he continued: "The old slave has already counted the things in the warehouse two days ago, and the accounts are also inside."

After going through the previous series of events, Qin Luochuan felt that he could calm down, and said, "Leave it all to Qingyue."

Shang Qingyue was not surprised that her husband would leave all the family affairs to herself, but although he was pregnant, the family was simple, so it was only a matter of convenience to deal with such a small matter.

And as the lord, you can't just rely on your husband's favor. Only by holding the power of housekeeper in your hands can you confirm your status in this family.

So he didn't refuse, just said: "Let's put it here first, I'll see it tomorrow."

"It was my negligence," said Uncle Fu, "Young master and the young master should have been exhausted after traveling all the way. I have already had someone clean the yard. It is next door to where the young master used to live. Go and rest."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the two maidservants, "Suxue, Tingyu, you help the little master over there."

Shang Qingyue is only four months pregnant, although her waist and abdomen are a bit thicker than before, but it is not enough to need help to walk, seeing the two maids walking towards her, she waved her hands and said: "Lead the way ahead. "

Seeing this, Qin Luochuan stretched out his hand towards Shang Qingyue, "Let's go."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue put her hand on it, and the two of them followed the maid to their yard.

After entering the room, Qin Luochuan realized that there was a brazier in the room, and the sheets and quilts were newly changed. Uncle Fu was very well prepared for his affairs.

The two had been on the boat for a month, and it was rare to stay in the room so comfortably. Qin Luochuan wanted to take a good rest, so he asked the maid next to him, "Is there any hot water?"

Suxue was hanging up the cloaks that the two had untied, while Ting Yu was pouring tea for them, and replied, "Housekeeper Fu guessed that the two of you will arrive in the capital in the next two days, and has been keeping the kitchen ready." As for the hot water, this servant will bring it here."

After washing up, lying on the warm bed, Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue soon fell asleep without the floating feeling on the boat.

After sleeping until it was dark, Qin Luochuan woke up. There was a faint candlelight outside the bed tent. Suxue stood outside the tent and asked in a low voice: "Young master, Steward Fu sent someone to ask, dinner is almost ready , should we eat in the living room, or have someone bring it over."

This was their first meal here, so they should eat in the living room, but Qin Luochuan thought about it and asked, "Is it cold outside?"

Suxue obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question, she was taken aback for a moment before she said, "It's probably going to snow tonight, but it's already windy now."

"Then let someone send it over." Qin Luochuan said.

Wujin's house occupies a large area. There is quite a distance from the courtyard where Qin Luochuan and the others live to the main hall. It is easy to catch a cold when you get up from the bed, and the wind is blowing outside again. Fu Lang was freezing.

Besides, they didn't eat in the bedroom when they were sent here. In this small courtyard where they lived, apart from their bedroom, there were two wing rooms, the front hall and the small study room.

After the two came out fully dressed, Suxue and Tingyu had already prepared meals and were serving soup.

After seeing the dishes on the table, Shang Qingyue couldn't help being stunned.

Suxue was careful, and when she saw this, she smiled and said: "The cook is a southerner specially found by Steward Fu. The young master and the young master have a taste to see if it suits your appetite."

There were four meat dishes, four vegetables and one soup on the table, each of which was small in portion, but there were only two of them, and they couldn't finish it anyway.

Qin Luochuan picked up a chopstick and tasted it, and the taste was also to his liking, and said: "From now on, let the kitchen prepare four dishes and one soup for each meal, and you can't finish it if you have too much."

Although Qin Luochuan often worries about not having enough money when it comes to big expenses, he can afford to eat more every day. It's just that he has experienced the days of lack of clothing and food in the last days, and he especially cherishes food. For myself and Shang Qingyue, enough food is enough.

There has never been a rule in their family not to eat or sleep, and to say whatever comes to mind. After Shang Qingyue took a sip of soup, she told Suxue and Tingyu: "Tomorrow, send someone to Zhou's house in Yongfang Lane, South Street. Send me a letter, to their young master."

Ting Yu Wen Yan looked at Shang Qingyue, and asked in surprise, "Is it the Zhou family from Zhou Ji Buzhuang?"

Shang Qingyue's chopsticks paused, "You know?"

Ting Yu said: "I heard it from my previous master."

Shang Qingyue nodded noncommittally and did not speak again.

When he returned to the room in the afternoon, the husband gave him all the deeds of sale for these people. When he put them away, he casually looked through the money used by each of them. The market prices I knew in the capital more than a year ago were only the prices of a slightly higher-grade maid.

But looking at the behavior of these two people today, it completely exceeded Shang Qingyue's expectations. I don't know where Uncle Fu picked up the leak, or did the prices of the servants in the capital drop during his absence?

Shang Qingyue was a little puzzled, but she didn't care too much. Anyway, she wanted to make an appointment with that person, so she just wanted to inquire about it when the time came.

Qin Luochuan remembered that the young master of the Zhou family said that he was a good friend of his elder brother Shang Minghe, and that they had sent messages to Shang Minghe before, and they were brought by Zhou Ji Buzhuang.

He asked, "Do you want to see him?"

"No hurry," Shang Qingyue said, "He always has a lot of things to do, let someone send a letter first, and see when he is free."

Although the man was a good friend of his brother and had helped them, but when he saw that his husband had just arrived in the capital, he sent someone to send a message, and although he said that he was not in a hurry, he obviously meant to meet, Qin Luochuan was inevitably a little bit sour .

And he didn't notice it himself, he just stopped talking and kept eating the food on the table.

Until Shang Qingyue frowned and used chopsticks to block the chopsticks he stretched into the plate, "Husband, if you eat too much at night, it's easy to accumulate food."

Only then did Qin Luochuan realize that more than half of the eight dishes and one soup on the table had been wiped out, and he himself could not hold on right now.

After realizing it, Qin Luochuan quickly put down his chopsticks, and said a little embarrassedly: "The food is so delicious, I ate too much before I knew it."

The cook's skill is not bad, but seriously, it's not as good as her husband's own, Shang Qingyue raised her eyebrows calmly, and didn't say anything.

I slept all afternoon, and now I ate too much. I don't need to think about it, but I know it will be difficult to fall asleep at night.

So after drinking two cups of tea and digesting a little bit, Qin Luochuan said: "I'll go outside and walk around to digest food."

Shang Qingyue knew that he was in good spirits, if he didn't go outside for activities right now, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight, so he didn't stop him, just said: "It's cold outside, wear more clothes when you go out."

Qin Luochuan was so courageous that he didn't need a maid to follow him, so he took a lantern and wandered around the house by himself, besides the small courtyard where he lived, he also went around the courtyard where Qin Yan lived next to him, but he only stood outside for a while He didn't go into the house, and finally went to the garden, and ran for half an hour with the lantern in his hand, when it started to snow, so he went back to his small courtyard with the lantern in hand.

It was freezing outside, and after he had done some exercise, even the top of his head was steaming. Shang Qingyue, who was waiting for him to sleep together, hurriedly asked the servant girl to bring the prepared hot water, and asked Qin Luochuan to wash up.

After exercising and sweating, Qin Luochuan felt a lot more comfortable after taking a hot bath. Even the faint unhappiness in his heart dissipated, and he slept soundly all night holding his husband.

Early the next morning, Suxue went to Zhou's house in person, and when she came back, she said, "Master Zhou was very happy to hear that you came to the capital, and said that he will wait for you at Yunxuan on South Street in the afternoon."

"It's snowing so much outside, who doesn't stay at home," Qin Luochuan muttered, "If he wants to see you, he can come home."

Shang Qingyue looked at her husband helplessly, and said, "It's not appropriate to come to the house."

"Why is it inappropriate," Qin Luochuan said, "Didn't Yi Zhi and Brother He often come to see me at home before?"

Shang Qingyue said: "This is different."

Qin Luochuan knew that there would be no results if he continued to entangle, so he said, "I'll take you there in the afternoon, the snow is thick on the road, I don't feel at ease if you go alone."

Even if Qin Luochuan didn't say anything, Shang Qingyue planned to let her husband go with her, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

After lunch, Shang Qingyue changed her clothes again, put on a cloak, and held a hand stove before going out accompanied by Qin Luochuan.

Knowing that they were going out, Uncle Fu had already asked the boy to drive the carriage and wait at the door. Originally, Su Xue and Ting Yu wanted to follow, but Shang Qingyue refused.

Although the snow was a little lighter, it never stopped, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Shang Qingyue hadn't been back to the capital for more than a year, so she couldn't help but lift the curtain to look at the street pavement outside, and chattered to Qin Luochuan about where and what was The shop, where is it and what is it for?

Anyway, he was wearing enough clothes, and seeing that he was in a good mood, Qin Luochuan didn't stop him.

When approaching the gate of Ding Yunxuan, Shang Qingyue's voice suddenly stopped, and Qin Luochuan saw that he swallowed obviously, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shang Qingyue opened the curtain a little wider, pointed to the side of the street and said, "There are people selling candied haws over there."

Yuxi Town is in the south, so there is no hawthorn growing there, so there is no hawthorn in the snacks Qin Luochuan prepared before.

Besides, thanks to the various palace dramas in the past, Qin Luochuan also knew that hawthorn is cold in nature, and pregnant women should not eat more, so he said, "I'll buy it when we go back."

"I want to eat it right now." If a pregnant person wants to eat something, there is no way to stop it easily. What's more, there is a candied haws seller on the street, and Shang Qingyue wants to get out of the carriage to buy it by herself.

"I'll buy it for you when I get to the entrance of the teahouse," Qin Luochuan compromised, "but you can't eat too much."

Shang Qingyue said: "I know, just eat two."

Shang Qingyue stretched out two fingers to gesture.

After the carriage stopped at the gate of Ding Yunxuan, Shang Qingyue urged Qin Luochuan to buy candied haws, while she waited at the gate.

Seeing his impatient posture, Qin Luochuan knew that he would not give up until he had candied haws right now, so he asked the servant to drive the carriage to the backyard, and walked quickly towards the place where candied haws were sold.

After running to the place selling candied haws, Qin Luochuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Shang Qingyue, only to see Shang Qingyue standing in a shelter from the wind, but beside him was a young man in Tsing Yi.

The distance was a bit far, and Qin Luochuan couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he could roughly guess the excitement and disbelief of the person from the body movements of the person and the extremely close distance between the two of them. Facing him, I couldn't see the expression clearly.

As if feeling his gaze, the man in Tsing Yi raised his head and glanced at him.

"Master, do you want to buy candied haws?" Qin Luochuan asked the old man who sold candied haws before him.

"Just a bunch of candied haws." Qin Luochuan didn't dare to buy too much for fear that Shang Qingyue couldn't help but be greedy.

The old man said: "Young master, choose a string yourself, one penny for one string."

Qin Luochuan picked the biggest one in the bunch, but paused when he was taking out the money. Ever since Shang Qingyue took care of the family's trivial affairs, he rarely carried space-consuming and worthless copper coins with him. There was only one ingot of two taels of silver in the bag, and after searching for a long time, I finally found a scattered copper plate in the space, and took it out and handed it to the old man in the gesture of digging out something.

After this delay, when he looked back, Shang Qingyue and the young master were no longer at the door. Qin Luochuan guessed that it was too cold outside, so they went in first, so he didn't care.

There were not many customers in the Tianleng teahouse. As soon as Qin Luochuan arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, a waiter came up and asked, "Your Majesty Qin, your husband is waiting for you in the private room upstairs."

After speaking, he led the way and led Qin Luochuan to the door of the private room on the second floor.

When pushing open the private room door, Qin Luochuan couldn't help being stunned when he saw the person who was talking to Shang Qingyue.

What he saw from a distance just now, the person talking to Shang Qingyue at the door was wearing Tsing Yi, but now the person in the private room is wearing white clothes, and the bun is the same as Shang Qingyue, combed in the style of twins .

Qin Luochuan couldn't help wondering, if this person was the young master of the Zhou family, then who was that person downstairs just now?
