It was almost noon, and the servants of the Shangshu Mansion were busy commuting for lunch.Ling Xueji was not a master who could live at leisure, so he was led around the mansion by Ji Jin, and lost interest after reading all the new things, so he let Ji Jin lead the way to Old Madam Qu.

Old Madam Qu is listening to an opera in the Linshui Terrace, and ordinary officials and female relatives will be invited to receive them in the Linshui Terrace. There are no guests today, but it is just that Old Madam Qu is interested and wants to listen to one or two, so the ostentation is not big.It was just a few women and maids sitting with the old lady, babbling against the backdrop of the water sleeves on the stage, it felt a bit warm.

"Grandmother~" Ling Xueji trotted over with joy, Old Madam Qu smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Good boy, come and sit with grandma." Mrs. Qu waved to Ling Xueji, and patted the arhat bed under her.

Ling Xueji sat down beside her obediently, wrapping her hands around Old Madam Qu's left arm affectionately, and acted like a baby by her side.Old Madam Qu laughed and stroked her granddaughter-in-law's head, but the woman next to her handed over the satin booklet and said kindly, "Order any play you want."

Ling Xueji smiled apologetically and waved his hands, "I don't listen to operas much at home and I don't understand these things, grandma can listen to whatever Xueji likes~~"

Mrs. Qu said with a smile when she heard the words: "Then order something lively." Yan Luo turned his head and ordered "Longfeng Chengxiang" to the woman next to him, and asked the Huangmei Opera troupe to prepare a " Female Consort".

The actors on the stage were finishing the scene of "The Drunken Concubine", and it took time to change their costumes. After discussing with the head wife, the troupe asked the Huangmei opera troupe to come on stage and sing first.Old Madam Qu asked Ling Xueji what he liked to eat and drink, and ordered someone to prepare it and serve it up, and the play started with a gong.

Singing and sighing, the pen is green, the pearls and emeralds turn into palace flowers and hats in a blink of an eye, and the high-rise boudoir suddenly turns into temples and palaces.

Ling Xueji suddenly thought of something when he heard this, and shook Mrs. Qu's arm, "Grandmother, please tell me something about your lord."

"About Quan'er?" Old Madam Qu rolled her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "What aspect of her do you want to hear about?"

Ling Xueji's intuition told him that the other party must have misunderstood something and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, grandma, it's not what you think. I just want to know, how did your lord become the minister of the Ministry of Justice?"

In Jinling City, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment is a high-ranking official who is respected and respected by others. Jinwuwei can only meet when he is handling serious cases, let alone the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.Although the official position of the Great Xia Dynasty advocated that the capable should be in residence, there were still a few families who would truly train women in that direction, and those with outstanding abilities were even rarer.Ling Xueji couldn't understand Qu Quan's behavior style, but he admired Qu Quan's ability.

"How else can this be done?" Old Madam Qu pointed her mouth at the stage, "Take the number one prize."

"Examination for the number one scholar?" Ling Xueji was startled, she didn't expect her husband to be a female number one scholar.

"Good boy, don't be so surprised. Quan'er is not the number one female champion in Daxia." Old Madam Qu took a piece of soft cake and took a bite, chewing and swallowing slowly.

The melodious and melodious singing came to Ling Xueji's ears, and the lively gongs and drums were played in unison. She gradually remembered the situation when they got married yesterday.The unbearable waiting in the bridal chamber was all dispelled by the sudden light in front of her eyes, and the first thing that came into view after the long darkness was Qu Quan's face.Dressed in happy clothes, with jade cranes and golden ribbons, the person in the shadow of candles and lanterns is more like a beautiful jade, with an orchid temperament.

The three articles seemed to be beautiful, and they won the first place on the dragon and tiger list.

A few years ago in Jinling City, that person must have been wearing a red robe, riding a horse and roaming the imperial streets, attracting all the flowers in Jinling to shame.

Just as she was thinking about it, a ray of sweet scent entered her nostrils, Ling Xueji came back to her senses and saw Mrs. Qu holding a piece of hibiscus cake with chopsticks and handing it to her with a smile.Ling Xueji blushed and ate the pastry with chopsticks, then quickly lowered her head.Mrs. Qu turned her head away knowingly about current affairs, and continued, "At that time, many officials were planning to marry Quan'er, and there were also many girls in Jinling who wanted to be Quan'er's wife, even the Holy Majesty The most beloved Princess Anle, Shao Baisi, also wanted to make Quan'er his wife."

As soon as these words came out, Ling Xueji shook her hand holding the cup. Women in the Great Xia Dynasty could marry wives, and noble princesses usually chose to marry their beloved girls as their wives.Princess Anle, Shao Baisi, is the third daughter of the current emperor and queen, and she is willing to marry for Qu Quan.This... What else can I say?Could it be that he still picked up a big deal?

Ling Xueji subtly "hummed", "Then why didn't she marry?"

As soon as this remark came out, no one answered for a long time, and the maids and women who would occasionally talk to each other while watching the play stood there holding their breath and concentrating.At this time, when the theater troupe was changing, those actors seemed to have sensed the silence of the master, and they all moved the props carefully. One of the young actors accidentally dropped a hairpin, and it was falling on a gong, making a crisp buzzing sound. .The people around him hurriedly picked up the hairpins, rings, gongs and drums, and the two escorted them away from the scene.

For a moment, death-like silence enveloped the Linshui high platform, which was still warm just now.

"I...did I say something wrong?" Ling Xueji broke the silence a little embarrassedly, this feeling was too uncomfortable, "I'm sorry grandma, next time I..."

"Xue Ji, the next play is called "Dragon and Phoenix in Prosperity". It is performed by our Jinling City troupe. It's so lively that you must like it." Old Madam Qu turned around and embraced his granddaughter-in-law, and gave it to her with a smile. She told the story of Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world, lost his wife and lost his army, and the maid and mother-in-law also began to be busy serving, and the banquet suddenly became lively again, as if the silence just now was just a dream.

Ling Xueji saw that Mrs. Qu didn't intend to bring up the events of the past, so she wisely didn't say much.

In the middle of the play, a woman and two maidservants brought four food boxes, Old Madam Qu turned to Ling Xueji and said, "Good boy, let's eat at grandma's place today?"

Ling Xueji looked around suspiciously, "Aren't you coming here for dinner?"

"Hey, that child seldom eats with me. She has her own small kitchen in Dongyuan." After Mrs. Qu finished speaking, she asked the woman to spread the fish soup in front of Ling Xueji.

"How can this be done?" Ling Xueji looked at the old matriarch's lonely expression for a moment, stood up and ran outside, "Grandmother, wait, I'll call her over for dinner!"

"Hey, Xueji!" The old lady Qu turned around, and she couldn't see her grandson's wife, she smiled and shook her head helplessly, "This child..."
