Su Qi lifted the curtain and looked out the window. Zhao Zhixi leaned over quietly. She leaned close to Su Qi and asked, "Second Aunt, can't you stand my mother crying all the time?"
Su Qi shrugged helplessly, "It's so noisy."
Zhao Zhixi also shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, I can only listen."
Su Qi pinched Zhao Zhixi's nose. This little girl was so cute.
Su Qi brought a group of them to the Gu Mansion, and then asked someone to invite Yun Manyu and several concubines.
The Gu Mansion was very large, and Zhao Yuan's children and concubines were very envious when they saw it.
In the capital, the Zhao family lived a bit far from the area where minor officials and small businessmen were concentrated. The three-story courtyard was still the property of Zhao Yuan's father. The place where the brothers lived was very crowded, but even so, it didn't stop them from buying concubines.
Places with many people living in them are naturally crowded, and conflicts and contradictions will increase.
Su Qi did not let them live in the next yard immediately.
One reason is that they haven't hired anyone yet, and the other reason is that this is Susan's property, so they won't be allowed to move in right now.
"Xiao Wu, take my sister and her family to live next door at the Qingruyuan." Su Qi asked the servant to take Zhao Yuan and the others there first, and then said to Susan, "Big sister, you must be tired from the frightening journey. Go take a bath first to relieve your fatigue. My Nanny Jiang will serve you first."
Su Qi was afraid that Susan's doughy personality would cause her to be bullied, so she simply arranged for Nanny Jiang from Prince Zhan's mansion to take care of her.
Nanny Jiang caught Su Qi's eye and looked at the concubines, who were not easy to deal with either.
My blood is boiling.
She had nothing to do in Prince Zhan's mansion these years, and it was all in vain that she learned the intrigues in the palace when she was young.
Nanny Jiang seemed to have returned to her passionate days, and even she walked with the wind.
"Mr. Zhao, Madam. Please come this way." Nanny Jiang made a gesture of invitation.
Dabao and Erbao ran over with Zeng Wuming and a few others. They hadn't seen Zhao Linghang for several years and had long forgotten about him.
Zhao Linghang followed behind his two brothers and poked his head out from beside his second brother.
"Dabao, Erbao. I'm Brother Hang."
Dabao and Erbao stopped, folded their arms, and said with a smile: "Hahaha. Our team has grown again. Let's go play."
"The guests have just arrived, let them go wash up first." Zeng Wuming sniffed.
The air was filled with a sour and foul smell. Dabao and Erbao were quickly separated, and Zhao Linghang and the others were asked to go wash up first.
Everyone in the Zhao family looked at Dabao and Erbao, who had red lips, white teeth, chubby little faces, and cute smiles, and couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
"These two little princes are so handsome."
“And very polite.”
Dabao and Erbao ran over to greet Zhao Yuan and Susan. Their etiquette was standard and standard, and it was obvious that they were from wealthy families.
The concubine of the Zhao family was already jealous.
It is said that this family had their property confiscated, but how come they are doing better in just a few years?
Nanny Jiang took Susan and her family to the Qing Confucian Academy.
Su Qi and Liu Qingyin moved into Qingyang Courtyard, which was only separated by a wall from Qingyou Courtyard where Qin Wan lived.
Liu Qingyin was not very courageous, so Su Qi had to ask Xia He to come and serve her. Xia He was originally a maid in the Gu Mansion and knew Liu Qingyin.
Liu Qingyin and Xia He went to wash up.
On this side, Qin Wan came in with Chunhe, a nanny and a maid, holding several sets of clothes and a jewelry box.
Su Qi sat under the pavilion in Qingyang's yard to enjoy the cool air.
He ordered a dish of plums soaked in ice water and some pastries to be brought over, and a pot of tea for his daughter was also brewed and brought over.
"Qiqi, where is your mother?" Qin Wan didn't know how to address Liu Qingyin. It seemed inappropriate to call her aunt now.
Su Qi pursed her lips and said, "She's washing up inside."
"I gave you a few sets of newly made clothes. None of them have been worn, so I think they will suit Miss Liu." Qin Wan heard about Liu Qingyin, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart for this woman's love for Gu Beiheng.
"For this box of jewelry, I chose those that are beautiful and easy to cash in."
Su Qi opened the box, revealing a gold headpiece, a pair of gold bracelets, a jade bracelet with excellent water content, and two beautifully shaped silver bracelets.
A silver headpiece and two gold hairpins inlaid with rubies and oriental pearls.
A gold hairpin made of red agate.
There was a banknote in the box visible to the naked eye. Su Qi opened it and saw that it was a banknote worth one thousand taels.
"I originally planned to give her a little more. But I was afraid that she couldn't save it, so I didn't dare to take more." Qin Wan's family was wealthy, so he was naturally willing to spend money on the person who raised his son.
Su Qi told Qin Wan that she had bought a two-yard house to give to Liu Qingyin. "Mom, don't give me the money yet. I'll take care of it."
"Qiqi. In all those years in Beiheng, apart from Sister Liu, no one truly loved him. I would be willing to accept any amount Sister Liu gave me."
Su Qi thought of Qin Wan who gave Gu Wushen 100,000 taels of silver.
Suddenly I felt it was not worth it.
"How about exchanging this one thousand taels of silver for farmland?" Su Qi thought for a moment and said.
"That's right. I heard that my husband's family are hunters and have no other livelihood." Liu Qingyin also thought that Su Qi's idea was good. It would be nice to buy some land with one thousand taels of silver and cultivate some crops at home or rent it all out to others and collect rent.
"Then I'll buy a shop, and the rest will be land." Qin Wan was very happy to do these things.
Seeing that she was happy, Su Qi did not stop her.
For Qin Wan, perhaps doing this would make her feel better.
"Okay. I'll follow your mother's arrangements." Su Qi poured Qin Wan a cup of tea for her daughter. "Mother, how about this tea?"
“It’s delicious.”
"The tea leaves are from my father's tea plantation, and he gave it to me to take care of." Su Qi smiled and looked at Qin Wan. "I think my father originally wanted to give it to my mother."
Qin Wan originally hated the War King, but seeing him so dejected that day, he couldn't bear it. He was afraid that he would go to the battlefield with such disappointment that something bad might happen.
That's why I want to give him a chance and also give myself a chance.
"No need. I'll take care of it for you." Qin Wan took a sip of tea and thought of the nights when King Zhan was on her roof.
A sweet warmth seeped out of her heart, and at this moment she suddenly wanted to hug the cold and silent man.
Liu Qingyin came out quickly.
She wore a lake green dress and her hair was tied up in a dignified bun, with two gold hairpins and a gold hairpin wrapped with a gold rose.
Liu Qingyin looks very gentle and looks beautiful when she dresses up.
Su Qi stood up and walked over. Qin Wan ran over and took Liu Qingyin's hand. "Sister Liu, I'm Beiheng's mother just like you."
Liu Qingyin felt a little depressed, and she had figured it out these days.
She moved her lips and said, "You are Beiheng's biological mother. We are different."
"Sister Liu, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. To Bei Heng, your status as a mother is higher than mine."
Liu Qingyin raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes. "Really?"
"Beiheng is the child you raised. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
Liu Qingyin looked at Su Qi and smiled. "Beiheng has been very well behaved since he was young, and he never gave me any worries. This child always wants to make me worry-free. Even when he went to the military camp at such a young age, he only reported good news and not bad news."
"In the military camp, any good things I got were sent back to the capital. It was just to protect me from being bullied."
"Qiqi, I have lived a very happy life in the past few years since you married Beiheng." Liu Qingyin blamed herself in her heart, wondering if she could choose again.
She would definitely choose her son without hesitation.
