Chapter 101 I will propose marriage when I return victorious
Qin Mingzhu returned to the room and looked at the names of the officials on the list with cold eyes. Then she picked up a pen and wrote and drew while recalling.
She knew most of them. Having lived in the Marquis' Mansion for ten years, as a woman supporting the family business, she had come into contact with many high-ranking officials in the capital.
After all, as the daughter-in-law of a marquis, she would go to any banquet held in the mansion.
During those ten years, she was able to recall some of these people's pasts, and it didn't take long before she had figured out what to do.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Qin Mingzhu immediately put the paper in her hand into the charcoal brazier beside her, set it on fire and burned it without leaving any trace.
She walked to the door, opened it, and saw Yan Fengxiao standing there.
She was obviously stunned. She had seen the other party surrounded by many guests in front, and now he actually ran here.
Yan Fengxiao smelled the burnt smell in the air.
"Why are you hiding here?"
Qin Mingzhu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she let Yan Fengxiao into the room.
"It's quieter here."
Yan Fengxiao looked around the room where Qin Mingzhu was.
This is the boudoir where Qin Mingzhu lived since she was a child.
Although it was a bit abrupt to come here directly, he had been looking for Qin Mingzhu for a long time, and only Chunhua knew that Qin Mingzhu was here.
The room was tidy and clean, and apart from the smell of something burning, there was nothing strange about it.
Qin Mingzhu poured a cup of tea for Yan Fengxiao with a very casual and natural attitude. She did not seem to be at all uneasy because the other party entered her boudoir.
"What do you think of today's banquet, Governor?"
Yan Fengxiao lowered his eyes and recalled.
“I don’t know.”
Surrounded by a group of people, he couldn't even pick up a bite of food, which was very annoying.
Qin Mingzhu's eyes curved when she heard this, and she immediately pushed the snack on the table to him: "I can tell you're not full. Let me give you this to try. It's my favorite."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fengxiao's eyes lit up obviously.
He saw the peach blossom cake on the table, picked it up and started eating.
I've been busy since I got up this morning and haven't eaten anything yet.
The pastry melts between your teeth, it's sweet but has a unique flavor.
He didn't like sweets, but he still finished a plate of cakes with his tea.
After a while, the wet nurse came in from outside.
She handed Yun Yu in her arms to Qin Mingzhu, then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Qin Mingzhu looked at the little guy in her arms and couldn't help but recall some scenes from her previous life. At this moment, she put her cheek against Yun Yu's little face with great satisfaction.
This child has been very smart since he was young and has never given her any worries, but Qin Mingzhu still feels that she owed him in her previous life.
Yan Fengxiao was also standing nearby.
He looked at Qin Mingzhu and the child in her arms with burning eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch them, but he was a little afraid.
I am afraid that my rough fingers will hurt the child’s delicate skin.
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, suddenly raised her hand from under the swaddling clothes and held his wrist.
"Come, give me a hug."
Yan Fengxiao suddenly panicked. He hurriedly stuffed the child Qin Mingzhu had forced into his arms, but the posture was a little weird.
“Chuckle…”
The little baby, who was almost two months old, suddenly laughed, and there was a bit of baby sound in his voice, babbling.
The whole baby was turned over in Yan Fengxiao's arms, with his butt sitting in the crook of Yan Fengxiao's arm, his two little hands resting on his other arm, and his little feet dangling outside the swaddling clothes.
Qin Mingzhu couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to help adjust the position of the swaddling clothes and correct Yan Fengxiao's holding posture, and then tucked her son's feet back into the quilt.
"I thought someone like the governor knew everything."
Yan Fengxiao's handsome face was full of seriousness.
"It's my first time holding someone, so I'm not very skilled. I can learn."
Qin Mingzhu nodded seriously.
"Okay, come here often and I'll teach you."
Yan Fengxiao looked up at Qin Mingzhu. The woman in front of him had a graceful and clear smile, and her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.
He nodded slightly: "Okay."
This is his son.
Hug him often and take care of him.
The little baby was very light and it was not difficult for him to hold it, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his heart.
Because as long as I hold him in my arms, he will feel that his shoulders are heavier, but it is something he is willing to bear.
Yan Fengxiao suddenly raised his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
"When I come back, I will go to your house to propose marriage."
Qin Mingzhu, who was teasing the baby in Yan Fengxiao's arms with a rattle, heard him say this and looked up at Yan Fengxiao.
"Propose marriage, what marriage?"
When Yan Fengxiao heard her ask this, his heart sank for a moment.
Didn't it seem too abrupt and disrespectful for him to say this suddenly?
He did not think that Qin Mingzhu would easily accept his proposal now that she had left the Marquis' Mansion and was raising her child alone.
He was silent for a moment, then replied, "Wait for a big victory on the border..."
Before Yan Fengxiao could finish his words.
Qin Mingzhu directly covered his mouth with her hand.
She smiled and said, "You even sent the betrothal gifts before. Didn't my mother agree to you a long time ago? Why are you still proposing marriage? It's unnecessary."
Yan Fengxiao: “…”
His arms, holding the child, froze. Little Yunyu in his arms seemed to feel uncomfortable, her face wrinkled, and the next moment...
“Wow…Wow…”
Governor Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately adjusted his posture. He had no idea how he had offended the boy in his arms.
Just as he was looking for the reason, Yan Fengxiao suddenly felt the clothes on his arm getting a little hot.
The feeling of the heat spreading was very obvious. After a moment, the little baby in my arms stopped crying, shivered all over, and then yawned.
Qin Mingzhu knew what was happening without even looking.
She immediately went forward and hugged Xiao Yunyu. Looking at the obvious wet spot on Yan Fengxiao's arm, she said awkwardly, "Ahem, this drawing is really beautiful..."
Yan Fengxiao looked at his arm and remembered that he didn't bring any clothes when he went out. He could only take the handkerchief Qin Mingzhu handed over, wiped it simply, and smelled the scent.
Fortunately, the smell is not obvious.
He decided to let it dry quietly later.
Qin Mingzhu changed Yun Yu's diaper, then put the yawning baby into the bed and called a wet nurse to look after him.
She stole a glance at his sleeve.
"Wait a moment, Governor. I'll go to my father's room and get you some clothes to change into."
Yan Fengxiao wanted to say no.
But Qin Mingzhu had already opened the door and walked out.
The banquet was coming to an end and there were only a few people left.
Madam Qin sent the guests away one by one, and General Qin was the first to return to the yard.
It was a rare occasion for the mansion to be so lively, and General Qin also saw many old friends today.
He was lost in thought as he was looking through some things in the room. When he turned around, he saw his daughter sneaking into his room, moving very carefully so as not to be seen by him.
"Pearl."
Qin Mingzhu suddenly stopped and hid the clothes in her hand.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
