New widow

It was a scolding rather than a flirtation. The boy really smiled: "After seeing you, I don't want anyone else, let alone keeping my filial piety."

The maid pursed her lips, but didn't show it on her face: "I miss you these days, but isn't it? Did the Ministry of Punishment send someone here?"

"Don't worry, no one can find out." The young man said, taking the maid's hand and walking behind the rockery. Zhang Qing heard about the Ministry of Punishment and who could find out. Could it be that Aunt Su really did this? Zhang Qing heard that the pair of wild mandarin ducks had nothing more to say, so he quietly left, changed his clothes on the way, and went directly to the mourning hall.

Before he entered the mourning hall, he saw the young man running over. The young man saw Zhang Qing and breathed a sigh of relief: "So you are here. The butler asked you where you were and said that I had lost all the guests. , you want to ask me."

Zhang Qing coughed and changed to the same voice he spoke to the boy: "I'm so sorry. Who would have thought that my stomach hurts because I am embarrassed in front of you."

The boy also knew that there was no time for this person to have diarrhea, so he just said a few words and took Zhang Qing to the mourning hall. After lighting incense and kowtow, Zhang Qing said a few words to the housekeeper and left.

This time the boy followed Zhang Qing closely. Zhang Qing really couldn't even take a second look. When he was about to reach the corner gate, he saw the maid walking in from the corner gate.

The boy had stopped and called his sister with a smile. There was a sense of spring between the maid's eyebrows, and she smiled when she heard the young man calling her sister: "You are taking a guest out."

"Sister, are you going out to buy some food for Aunt Su?" the boy also asked with a smile. maid

He smiled and said, "My aunt is feeling happy right now. She is very careful about food and clothing. She dares to go out to buy food. But my aunt is so bored that she asked me to go out and buy some fabrics, saying that I would give it to my tummy." The kids here are making some clothes.”

"Isn't this in the warehouse?" The boy was really confused now, and the maid's lips curled up: "It's just not as good as before, that's all, I won't tell you anymore." With that, the maid left.

Zhang Qing waited for the maid to leave, then smiled and said, "The maid in your house is really handsome."

"This is also the intention of our Duke. He said that the people who serve must be more handsome, so that people will be happy. Otherwise, there will be all the dark people serving in front of you, and you will not be able to eat." After saying this, the boy sighed. He said: "Our prince, we only have one beauty."

What a beauty? No wonder I incurred so much debt. Zhang Qing smiled and walked out of the corner door. The boy waited for Zhang Qing's back to disappear, and then hurried back to the mourning hall to find the butler.

After listening to the young man's words, the housekeeper said to the young man: "In the past few days, you have also heard from Mrs. Huang, saying that you should be more alert and cheer up. When the matter is completed, you will naturally be rewarded."

"Yes, you, the old man, are the ones to remind me. Otherwise, if such a person sneaks in, our house will not be in chaos?" The boy also said to the housekeeper respectfully, and the housekeeper said nothing else. The prince of the country was suspected of being poisoned to death, not to mention the rest of the people. It would be good for him to be more vigilant.

Zhang Qing changed his clothes again, returned to his true colors, and then returned to the small courtyard. Su Du frowned after hearing what Zhang Qing said about the maid and the boy.

: "So, is it really Aunt Su?"

"I don't think it's Aunt Su?" Zhang Qing's words made Su Du look at him: "What should I say?"

"It would be a coincidence if it's Aunt Su." She happens to be pregnant, and Song An has no son. As long as the child is a boy, he can inherit Song An's title, and Aunt Su can get a title, and she will be regarded as Song An's new wife in the Duke's Mansion. Mrs. Su also wants to give Aunt Su a chance to kill her.

From this point of view, Aunt Su had enough reasons to poison Song An and let her son inherit the title in advance, so that she could be guaranteed in the Duke's Mansion. But there are still many loopholes in this plan, and the biggest loophole is how to guarantee that there will be a boy in the belly.

Unless, Aunt Su can prepare a boy early, and exchange the civet cat for the prince, but if Aunt Su can really turn clouds and rain with her hands, why would she have to settle for a concubine.

"It seems that men can't be lustful." Zhang Qing explained his analysis, and Su Du let out a long sigh. Zhang Qing spit out the tea in his mouth: "It would be fine if someone else said this, but it would be funny if you said it."

"Three wives and four concubines are not difficult at first, but you also know how many things in the backyard are caused by three wives and four concubines?" Su Du asked back, Zhang Qing frowned: "So, three wives and four concubines Having a fourth concubine is not a good thing."

"You'll know later." Su Du changed the subject and only talked about other things with Zhang Qing.

In the blink of an eye, Song An had already made two sevens. When the sevens were completed, it would be ready for the funeral. Almost all the relatives and friends who have come to pay their respects these days are the only ones in the mourning hall. The rest of the relatives and friends will have to wait until Song An's funeral.

Just came back to see Song An off for the last time.

Everyone rotated according to shifts, and Su Qiao was able to go back to her room to sleep, unlike the previous days where she could only take a nap in the mourning hall.

Su Qiao's house was very gorgeously decorated, and the furnishings she saw were all things Su Qiao had never seen before. Xi'er has been guarding the house alone for so many days, and finally she can serve Su Qiao and talk to Su Qiao.

So Suqiao returned to the house and heard Xi'er talking about the cost of each decoration: "Madam, this is a self-ringing bell. When I first entered Kuang's house, I saw one in my wife's house, and I was not allowed to touch it. He said it was damaged and there was no place to buy it."

Su Qiao had seen the chiming clock before when she went to pay respects to Mr. Li. It was just a small one. It was placed on Mr. Li's table and was illuminated by a cover. Not to mention the maids, even Mrs. Li had to be careful when she wanted to check the time. He opened the cover and quickly put it back on after taking a quick look.

Hearing Xi'er say this, Suqiao couldn't help but smile and said, "So, these days, you have been here looking at this chiming clock every day?"

"Madam, you can't say that. I don't watch it every day." Xi'er said duplicity. Suqiao took the white fungus soup she brought, took a spoonful of it, and shook her head at Xi'er: "You, you are duplicitous. .”

"Aren't I worried that I am ignorant and will lose face to you, madam?" Xi'er said with a smile, Su Qiao pinched her nose: "Yes, yes, you are afraid of losing my face."

"Madam, there are a lot of mirrors here." Seeing Suqiao put down the white fungus soup, Xi'er took out several mirrors of various sizes from the drawer of the dressing table. These mirrors and simple craftsmanship

The bronze mirrors used in the countryside are not the same. They are all glass mirrors, which are much smaller.
