If the right minister of the Ministry of Justice makes such a fuss, the men in the family will definitely have to make excuses again, and no one will be in the mood to listen to her.

But if they go to the Hou Mansion, Gu family and Ning Shunhou are not on good terms, and her mother-in-law’s visit would not be objectionable. After thinking about it, she just went out to eat while she was out and found a place to chat.

A few sentences.

"Okay, I'll just listen to my sister-in-law." Mrs. Gu actually didn't want to go back home so quickly. She didn't want to take any time off to hear what stupid things Ning Shunhou had done for Qiao Xunfeng.

After everyone agreed, they got on the carriage and went to the restaurant.

They had gone to have a meal. It was already past lunch time, and there were not many people in the restaurant, so there was no need to reserve a seat in advance.

Even so, Qiao Wenqing still went over first.

By the time all the female relatives arrived, the wing had already been prepared and the tea had been restocked.

"Brother Qing is a careful and steady person." After everyone sat down, Mrs. Zhang looked at Qiao Wenqing with a smile, "Waiting for Wenqing High School, I have to be the first to take the lead when it comes to the marriage. My mother's family happens to have a girl to marry."

Naturally, a down-and-out Houfu could not catch the eye of Mrs. Zhang, but she took a fancy to Qiao Wenqing, who had a bright future.

Qiao Wenqing turned sideways unnaturally, "Auntie."

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said it was over.

When ordering, Mrs. Zhang first asked Qiao Wenbing and Qiao Wenzhi what they wanted to eat, and then asked her children, always being polite.

Because my daughter-in-law was present today, the room was divided into separate tables.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Ms. Zhang leaned back on her chair and kept talking about today's events, "Look at the Duke's wife. She was making a fuss about hosting a banquet, but she kept a straight face the whole time. She pretended that other people didn't want to wish her a birthday.

generally."

I couldn't help but complain, the Duke's Mansion was really nice, but even the etiquette was not complete. No one in the capital would host a banquet and show off to the guests like her.

Look at what he said, as if he was superior.

Mrs. Gu nodded beside her, "You've made me so angry today."

They didn't say anything after they sat down at the table, and while they were listening to the play, they found out that they actually called Qiao Guxin alone for questioning, and later Mrs. Zheng took Qiao Guxin away.

If it weren't for his upbringing, Mrs. Gu would have to give those two a few words no matter what she did now.

"No, we can't figure out what this widow is thinking." Mrs. Zhang didn't care about the junior's presence, so she said it directly and slightly harshly.

Especially using hair to embroider longevity pictures, which seems to have a good meaning, but it makes people feel more and more panicked the more they think about it.

This hair is a private thing. You can embroider a purse for your husband and keep it close to him, or you can embroider something small on the side. In such a formal occasion, I always feel that it is not elegant.

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something else. Seeing that the children had almost finished eating, she said, "You children may like to hear what we women are talking about, so you might as well take this time to go out for a walk.

"

After getting Zhang's permission, Zhang's daughter-in-law did not move, and the remaining four got up quickly.

After waiting for the children to go out, Mrs. Zhang pulled Mrs. Gu and asked, "Do you have any other thoughts about this marriage?"

Mrs. Gu sighed, "To be honest with my sister-in-law, I don't want to do it in my heart, but after what happened to Mr. Marquis, I don't have too many requirements. I just want a person who understands right and wrong and respects rules."

If you have these three things, you won't do anything wrong to your first wife.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "I'm afraid it may not be what you think. Looking at the awkward look of the Duke's wife and the Crown Prince's wife, if she really marries into their family, she will be tied up and not feel at ease."

Both of them are widows. If the young couple gets along well, it might irritate others.

Once it's over, it's doomed, and we respect each other like ice.

It's not that she looks down on them, but it's human nature, especially since Zheng lost her husband at such a young age. Looking at others Jinse and Ming, she then thought about how cold and cold she was. Other than that, she was fine. Who can bear to wipe two tears in front of you?

They are obviously an upright couple, but they act like thieves.

Hearing what Zhang said, Gu was also worried, "It's just that I'm afraid the Marquis won't come forward in this matter."

After all, it was the old Marquis who had decided on the marriage. If Ning Shun resigned, he would definitely feel disgraced. If he was a man who loved his wife and daughter, he might not be able to spare his face, but it happened that he was not.

Mrs. Zhang let out a long sigh, "In this case, we can only wait until Brother Qing goes to high school."

On the other side, after Zhang and the others went out, Shen Qiuhe happened to also arrive at the restaurant.

Just as Shen Qiuhe said, the Minister of Punishment will never miss the son of the Duke of Guo.

"Mr. Shen." After the Minister of Punishment arrived, he greeted him with a smile.

"Master Ye." Shen Qiuhe raised his hands and clasped his fists, and asked the Minister of Punishment to sit down.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes and had a kind expression on his face, without the airs of a minister or the aggressiveness of the Ministry of Justice. He was wearing regular clothes today. If he were dressed like this, he would be just an ordinary old man walking on the street.

After the Minister of Punishment sat down, he said, "Young Master Shen is really good at choosing places. Quan Zi often tells me that the food in this building is delicious. I have been missing opportunities. Today I have benefited from Young Master Shen."

After saying that, he called the waiter up and asked carefully about the characteristics of this dish. After asking, he also asked for money, as if he was a minister of the Ministry of Justice and had very little money. But today's meal was clearly Shen Qiuhe's. Please.

Xiao Er was originally very patient, but the more he was questioned by the Minister of Punishment, the worse his expression became. He thought he was an honored guest today, but now he turns out to be a poor man.

Shen Qiuhe glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and saw that he kept talking to the waiter and just drank tea next to him. He had been waiting for a long time. He looked at the waiter's face and became more and more impatient, as if he might find someone at any time. When the opportunity left, Shen Qiuhe cleared his throat before choosing a few dishes for the waiter to eat, "Master Ye, you pity me for the hard-earned money."

The Minister of Punishment turned the cup next to him, still looking gentle, "No, you young people don't know how to live. You will understand later that your salary is not enough to support a large family, especially now that you are welcoming a new man. My dear, you have to pay attention to the ten-mile red makeup. We are not a merchant family, so how can we make a lot of money?"

After talking for a while, he laughed again, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Shen will get married next year. In the future, he will have several babies, several concubines, and a happy life."

Shen Qiuhe narrowed his eyes slightly, that kind of life was really satisfying, but...

His heart couldn't help but tightened, and then his face returned to normal, "As Mr. Ye said, if you are not a merchant, you don't need to seek wealth everywhere. The court has enough money, and I don't know how there is Mr. Ye." Such a money-saving habit?"

Before the Minister of Punishment could speak, Shen Qiuhe suddenly lowered his voice, "Isn't it the case a few days ago?" He raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the market entrance, "It still can't fill the holes in Mr. Ye's house?"

The Minister of Punishment came, but he didn't mention anything serious. Shen Qiuhe simply made it clear.

A few days ago, we killed an official family, how much money was confiscated from the house, and how much money was handed over to the treasury. The Dali Temple already has a count.

Hearing what Shen Qiuhe said, the Minister of Punishment suddenly laughed, "Master Shen is really a young man."

Then he slowly picked up the teacup and said, "It's just that Ye couldn't understand what Mr. Shen said."

This is pretending to be stupid to the end.

Shen Qiuhe was not in a hurry, and the two of them just sat on their seats and sipped tea, "It's understandable that Mr. Ye doesn't understand. After all, if there is irrefutable evidence, we won't be drinking tea in a restaurant today."

Shen Qiuhe put down the tea cup as he spoke, and turned to look at the Minister of Punishment, "Speaking of asking Mr. Ye to speak today, the reason is actually to ask Mr. Ye to bring justice to the matter of the right minister causing trouble in our government."

The Minister of Justice clapped his hands, folded them together, and said lazily, "How can I have the nerve to ask about your personal friends?"

After hearing the obvious evasive words of the Minister of Punishment, Shen Qiuhe suddenly laughed, one after another, as if he couldn't stop laughing, "Master Ye has so many things to do, so naturally he won't pay attention to such trivial matters. I'm really right about what I thought."

Shen Qiuhe tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "I was originally afraid that Mr. Ye would make the decision for your minister, and he would be a little timid. Now that Mr. Ye has made it clear that he doesn't want to take care of it, I can rest assured."

After he finished speaking, his hand suddenly stopped, "He made a big fuss about my mother's birthday party. Our Duke's palace will not be able to swallow this tone. I have already sent people to set fire to the palace. When the Vice Minister comes to the door later, I will ask Lord Ye to look at it." It’s a blast!”

When the Minister of Punishment heard this, all his speculations about feelings were false. Shen Qiuhe didn't have such a deep intention, so he just wanted to vent his anger.

The Minister of Punishment's eyes turned cold, "Sir Shen is really a young man."

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Shen Qiuhe said with a smile.

But the Minister of Punishment had no intention of eating this meal, so he slammed the table and left angrily.

As soon as he left with his front legs, Wang Si came over with his rear legs, "Master, the two dogs from the Criminal Department happened to meet each other, and they left at the same time."

There was a sudden fire in the Minister's Mansion. The Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice must have guessed who Shen Qiuhe was. Shen Qiuhe came to this restaurant to deliberately spread the word. The Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice would naturally come after him. However, facing the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, no matter how angry he was, It also needs to be suppressed.

What the world saw was that the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment disturbed the birthday party of the Duke's wife, and the son of the Duke's Mansion directly set fire to the Minister's Mansion.

Both sides don’t want to give in. It’s such a big farce.

Shen Qiuhe took a luminous pearl as big as a rouge box from his sleeve, played with it in his hand, and then handed it to Wang Si, "Smash it."

This bead was taken away by the Ministry of Justice when they ransacked the house.

Shen Qiuhe sent people to sneak into the Shangshu's mansion and steal it. Compared with the things that the Minister of Punishment was greedy for, this small night pearl was really inconspicuous, but so what, it could still attract the attention of the Shangshu of the Punishment Department.

The Minister of Punishment came here today not only for the sake of the Duke's Palace, but also to test things out in person.

It's a pity that he didn't threaten to avoid it, but instead made the Minister of Punishment confused about the truth and falsehood.

Shen Qiuheyuan was not hungry either. Since the Minister of Punishment had left, he was also ready to leave.

I didn't eat a bite of food, but I didn't lose a penny of money.

The store owner, who was originally sullen, was now happy because this was free money.

After Qiao Guxin and the others came out, it was because of the hot weather that they went to the tea stall opposite to drink a few sips of herbal tea. But who knew, they happened to witness the scene of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice rushing in angrily with someone.

There are many people in the Criminal Department, and if they suddenly rush over, the guests who are about to leave after finishing their meal will be knocked aside, and they are so domineering.

Qiao Wenqing and the others were thinking about the Gu family and were about to get up to take a look. However, for some unknown reason, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and others left in a hurry.

"In broad daylight, is there any royal law left?" Qiao Wenqing was furious, especially since there were so many personal grievances.

"People from the Criminal Department are certainly arrogant." Qiao Guxin responded nonchalantly from the side. Seeing Qiao Wenqing's ugly face, she pulled Qiao Wenqing and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping."

Divert Qiao Wenqing's attention.

Qiao Wenqing said yes. No matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. Who asked the Holy One to look at the Criminal Department? Not even his grandfather could touch them.

Perhaps it was because Shen Qiuhe gave Qiao Guxin a purse, so Qiao Guxin's eyes naturally focused on the vendors selling purses, "There are so many mosquitoes now, each of us has one."

Qiao Guxin stepped forward to choose. Qiao Wenqing was elegant and elegant, so she chose a purse embroidered with bamboo. Qiao Wenqing had a flamboyant personality, so she paired him with a purse embroidered with pine trees. Qiao Wenzhi was elegant, so she chose the elegant bag for her. The orchid.

And he personally placed it on his waist for his younger brothers and sisters.

"Sister, you just gave us everything, but you also have to think about yourself." As expected, the first person to speak was Qiao Wenbing.

He stepped forward with a smile, opened the stall very politely, picked out a purse embroidered with peonies and handed it to Qiao Guxin, "I saw this to match my eldest sister."

Qiao Wenzhi stepped forward and took a few glances, "It's rare for the fourth brother to have good eyesight." He was always a little concerned because he was close to Qiao Xunfeng, so Qiao Wenzhi was not polite when he talked too much.

Qiao Wenbing was not a loser, "What the second sister said is really interesting. It seems that when I make mistakes in my eyes, if the second sister doesn't speak up, I can correct it."

Qiao Wenzhi glared at Qiao Wenbing. She couldn't say what Qiao Xunfeng said openly, so she just snorted coldly, "I don't want to talk like you."

Qiao Guxin reached out and flicked Qiao Wenqing's forehead, "Don't bully your second sister."

After saying that, she put the purse Qiao Wenbing picked for her around her waist.

Qiao Wenqing was beside him and had already given the money to the vendor.

Qiao Guxin laughed beside her. She bought the purse, but the money was given by Qiao Wenqing.

When Shen Qiuhe came out, he caught sight of the four members of the Qiao family. He looked at Qiao Guxin holding the purse and looked at it, and frowned unnaturally. If Qiao Guxin liked purses, wouldn't he have already given one to her?

Then Shen Qiuhe walked over without thinking.

Originally, Qiao had wanted to take them to the Qiantou Study Room to have a look. Most girls liked purses, but they had to think about the two younger ones.

She had just taken two steps when she heard someone calling her Miss Qiao from behind.

Qiao Guxin turned around and saw that it was Shen Qiuhe. She sighed slightly, then turned around and said, "Mr. Shen."

Qiao Wenqing was still a little angry that Shen Qiuhe had said something unpleasant to Chu Han, and deliberately ignored Shen Qiuhe.

Qiao Wenbing, on the other hand, didn't dare, fearing that Shen Qiuhe would be upset and tell him about his trip to the casino, so he would shrink his head and remain silent.

If Mrs. Gu had not insisted on taking them out, Qiao Wenbing would not have wanted to come to the banquet today.
