Chapter 1240: First Sight of Qiu Xiu

On the day of the third ceremony, Shen Nanzhi took out his supreme sincerity, and specially got up early in the morning to start dressing up, wearing a plain moon-white silk dark pattern treasure makeup flower long coat, with a crimson purple elastic flower dark pattern armor on the outside, and the long hair was simply curled up, with only a set of a few round and clear pearl hair ornaments, and a tassel plum hairpin on the top of his head. Although it is not very gorgeous, it is also fresh and bright.

It stands to reason that the baptism ceremony will only invite relatives and people who are very close, but listening to what Lu Yunqi said, Lord Qiu's status in Hanlin is really like a pillar in the big waves, and he naturally has no right to speak, so someone will definitely take this opportunity to visit him.

The implication...... I wanted Shen Nanzhi to dress more gorgeously, but Shen Nanzhi didn't hear it, she was not interested in that kind of jeweled dress at all, she just felt that it was really old, not in line with her girl's age.

Qiu's mansion was farther away from the capital, and Shen Nanzhi and Lu Yunqi tossed on the carriage for more than an hour before they arrived. Originally, Shen Nanzhi didn't think there was any problem, but Ding Xiang was puzzled and asked, "You said that Lord Qiu's daughter gave birth to a child, how can the three rituals be handled in Lord Qiu's mansion?" ”

Shen Nanzhi was taken aback for a moment, "Yes......" looked at Lu Yunqi beside him in confusion.

But I didn't expect that Lord Qiu's fifth son-in-law was actually an inverted door, I heard that when he married the fifth girl Qiu, he was just a poor man, and he was appreciated by Lord Qiu for his good writing. This scholar has no father and no mother in his family, and only one sister is married to a hard worker on the dock to support him to study, which is really hard, and Lord Qiu loves him like his life, so he asked the scholar to live in Qiu's mansion.

Speaking of the same as the story in the book, Lord Qiu's five girls fell in love with the poor scholar, and the two fell in love, and Lord Qiu was unwilling to break up a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, so he had no choice but to marry his fifth daughter to him. The only condition is that the scholar agrees to live in the Qiu Mansion - in fact, there is no other way to agree, and the scholar simply cannot afford to buy a mansion in the capital.

But people themselves are also angry, after getting married, the scholar buried his head in hard study, the house did not say that the maid of the room, not even a bewitching female envoy, two years later, the scholar finally won the fame, and it was also the top few champions of the first list, and then the palace examination was selected, and directly entered the Hanlin to do compilation, repair documents and other duties.

This scholar is quite ambitious, and wants to find a release, so that he can come back to the next level in a few years, but Lord Qiu thought about it, and let him enter Hanlin first to do hard work, and it is not too late to go out to experience after giving birth to a child for a few years.

It was the son of the fifth girl of Qiu to wash the third place in the Qiu Mansion.

Shen Nanzhi nodded silently after listening, this may be true love in the world, transcending the shackles of the family environment. However, every love story is usually accompanied by a pair of parents who beat mandarin ducks, but Lord Qiu and Mrs. Qiu are very open-minded, and they are really willing to marry their daughter-in-law to a scholar who had nothing at that time.

In the end, it is the style of the literati, that is, it is different from others.

When he arrived at Qiu's Mansion, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh that it was the home of literati and ink writers, and there was no luxury in the decoration, and the most expensive thing was just the mahogany furniture in the house.

I heard that the female envoy who came to attract people said that there were only a few foreign guests, but because of the relationship between Lu Yunqi and Lord Qiu is also a teacher and friend, and the fifth girl Qiu is very similar to knowing her, Shen Nanzhi was also directly invited inside.

At first, Shen Nanzhi was a little embarrassed, the inner room was a place for family to stay. But after following the female envoy into the house, I understood why Miss Qiu Wu invited herself in.

The furnishings in the house are simple, but it is by no means poor, but all the furniture is a simple style, there are two splashed ink landscapes on the wall behind the Luohan bed, and two porcelain vases of the same color are placed on the stilts on both sides, which are the only decorations in the room.

Bypassing the screen of the four gentlemen and walking inside, Shen Nanzhi found that there were few people in the house - first of all, there was no old man in the fifth son-in-law's family, only one sister, but she was also not able to enter the elegant hall, not to mention that he was rich, and it was even more difficult for that sister to run to someone's house to tell her brother and daughter-in-law something. Secondly, Master Qiu's family has a total of six children, only two daughters, five girls are concubines, and there is also a third girl from the concubine, who is now sitting in the house. Then only Mrs. Qiu was left, and the two aunts and aunts of the Qiu family were left......

Of course, there are still a few ladies and wives sitting at the bottom, all of whom have a good relationship with the Qiu family or the fifth girl Qiu, and Shen Nanzhi barely knows a few, basically all of them know each other at the palace banquet that year and these days by Shi's side.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi enter the door, several ladies greeted each other with a smile, and Shen Nanzhi naturally returned the salute obediently, and heard a gentle voice from the Luohan bed on the side: "This is Lord Lu's wife, right?" ”

Shen Nanzhi followed the voice and was taken aback. I saw Qiu Wu lying on the bed, although her clothes were clean and tidy, her face was sallow, haggard and sickly, as if she had a serious illness. Qiu Wu's name is Qiu Xiu, who should have been a well-born lady, but he became like this.

She was stunned before she stepped forward and looked at the fifth girl Qiu blankly, "Why did you give birth to a son, but the fifth grandmother is a lot haggard?" ”

Qiu Xiu smiled bitterly and asked the female envoy to bring Shen Nanzhi a small pestle with a splendid cushion, and then said softly: "It's just that the pregnancy is not good...... I was sick before giving birth, but I was able to get better after a while. ”

Shen Nanzhi felt a little sorry for her, although she had not met Qiu Xiu, but she had also heard that the six sons under Lord Qiu's knees were all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they should never be so haggard, and Shen Nanzhi was a little afraid of pregnancy.

"Don't talk about me, it's the first time I've seen you," Qiu Xiu turned to a smile and took Shen Nanzhi's hand and laughed, "I can be considered familiar with Lord Lu, but I've never heard of Lord Lu being so interested in anyone, I heard that Lord Lu asked the Queen Mother to be a matchmaker in order to marry you?" ”

"Good sister, why are you still making fun of me on this happy day!" Shen Nanzhi blinked playfully, stretched out his hand to carefully pull the blanket covering Qiu Xiu's body, and leaned closer to laugh in a low voice, "I also heard that my brother-in-law is pointing at Lord Qiu in order to marry my sister!" ”
