I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

At that time, Lord Qin was handling business matters in the conference room, and Old Madam Qin was accompanying him, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, Butler Wang ran in hurriedly with a letter in his hand, panting and saying, "Master, Madam, the Duke of Rong's Mansion sent a letter."

As he spoke, Butler Wang carefully handed over the invitation with both hands.

Lord Qin was a little confused. Why did the Duke Rong's Mansion deliver the letter?

If you have anything to say, just pass it on. Why make it so formal?

Old Lady Qin, who was standing by, was also puzzled when she heard that it was a letter from the Rongguo Mansion. She wondered if her brother had some serious business to discuss with her, otherwise, why would he pass on a letter to her.

Lord Qin reached out to take the note, and Old Madam Qin also walked to his side and started to look through the note together.

"what?"

"Duke Rong's Mansion is holding a flower viewing banquet?"

After reading the contents of the invitation, Lord Qin couldn't help but express his confusion.

It's no wonder Lord Qin has such doubts. The Rongguo Mansion has always been low-key and rarely holds large banquets. It's really puzzling that they are holding a flower-viewing banquet now.

Old Madam Qin didn't understand it for a moment, but since it was her brother who sent the invitation, she naturally had to keep the appointment.

Although she was a little pressed for time, she still had time to prepare some gifts to take back. After all, she should also go back to visit her brother and sister-in-law.

So, Madam Qin said, "Master, I think since my brother is hosting this flower viewing banquet, he must have his reasons. We just need to be there on time. We will know the rest after we arrive."

"Don't let Zhao'er go this time. The autumn exam is coming soon, so let him stay at home and study."

"Man'er and Yue'er should go together. There is a courtyard in the Rongguo Mansion that is full of various flowers and plants. I believe the flowers are in full bloom at this time of year. Let our Yue'er see something new!"

Lord Qin nodded slowly to show his approval: "Let's do as Madam said. We should go back to visit our eldest uncle."

"Yes, I haven't been back for many years." Old Lady Qin said somewhat sadly.

Upon hearing this, Lord Qin took Madam Qin's hand, held it tightly in his palm, and said apologetically: "It's all your fault. I have made you sad for so many years. I will definitely double compensate you in the future!"

Madam Qin gently patted the back of Lord Qin's hand and said slowly, "Master, that matter is in the past. We did nothing wrong. It's just fate that made us miss each other for so many years."

"Now that Sister Yue is here, we still have a lot of time to accompany each other in the second half of our lives. Let's just let the past go. Thinking too much will only add to our troubles. The best outcome is that we can always be by each other's side."

Lord Qin said with great emotion: "Yes! I originally thought that I would never have the chance to get along with you like this in this life. It is God who favors the Qin family and me. The two hundred years of curse of the Qin family has finally been broken!"

When Madam Qin heard this, it seemed as if some memories were evoked, and she said, "Master, you don't know, in those years, I was worried all day long, afraid that you would be like my father-in-law and die before the age of forty."

"I was chanting sutras and praying in the temple all day, but I didn't notice that you were hiding outside the window on the side of the temple. You have been guarding me for as many years as I have been chanting sutras."

At this point, Old Madam Qin felt a surge of emotion in her heart. If her younger sister hadn't said it, she would never have thought that in fact, for so many years, the master had also been silently thinking about the other person just like her.

Old Madam Qin suddenly thought of something funny and burst out laughing.

"Master, wasn't it uncomfortable for you to stand outside at that time? It was cold in winter and hot in summer, and there were mosquitoes biting you. You were really stupid!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Qin touched his nose in embarrassment and argued in a low voice: "It's actually not bad. I didn't get bitten by mosquitoes."

Then he muttered quietly: "Because someone replaced me..."

He raised his head and looked directly at Madam Qin, holding her slightly aged hand again with both hands, "And I also want to be closer to you..."

Madam Qin's ears suddenly turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hands. She said, "You are so dishonest," and then she lowered her head and walked out of the meeting room quickly, saying, "I'll go tell Man'er that I'll go to the banquet tomorrow and arrange for the gifts!"

Lord Qin looked at Old Madam Qin's fleeing back and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Immediately, Lord Qin received a glare from Old Madam Qin, but he still couldn't hide his smug look, and he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

Not until Old Madam Qin was out of sight did Lord Qin slowly stop smiling, but he still looked very pleased with himself.

When Butler Wang heard Madam Qin mention mosquito bites, he couldn't help but think of the past ten years. He secretly complained in his heart: Madam, there are no mosquitoes biting the master. Those mosquitoes are only biting him!

Every time the master went to stand outside the Buddhist temple, he would always take him with him, and for some reason, as long as he was there, mosquitoes would only stick to him!

Every time after finishing his "guard duty", the master was fine, but he was the only one with stings all over his head!

In order to avoid mosquito bites, he had to cover himself tightly in the summer, wearing a hat and a mouth mask. It was really hot. Alas, those days are really hard to recall!

At this moment, Wang, the butler, looked at the smug look on Lord Qin's face, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind: Wait! Did the master bring him along on purpose?

Holy shit! It’s really possible when you think about it this way!

No wonder the master specially gave him many hats and mouth-covering towels, just to get him to "stand guard" together. With him as a natural "mosquito repellent", the master has nothing to fear from mosquitoes! !

Butler Wang suddenly understood everything and couldn't help crying in his heart: Woohoo! Master, you are so cruel!

However, no matter what, the master treats him very well, and it is his duty and honor to help his master solve his problems!

He definitely can't take such a small matter to heart!

Besides, the master always gives him an extra reward every year!

For such a good master, what does it matter if he is just bitten by a few mosquitoes?

He definitely doesn't care about money!!

After finishing her meal in the evening of that day, Qin Yue, who had just woken up, also learned that after the court session the next day, she would go to the Rongguo Mansion to attend a flower-viewing banquet. She was so happy that she danced with joy and frantically output to the system in her mind.

[Ahhhhh!!! Sister, I have to go out again! I've been either in the palace or at home lately, and haven't been anywhere except Qingping Feast and Beixiang. This time I finally have the chance to go out again! ]

The system was also very happy: [Hehe, yes! And there will definitely be a lot of people at the banquet. Wouldn’t it be like entering a “melon field”? Hahahaha!!]

Qin Yue: [Hehehehe! I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s banquet! Hehehe!!]

Qin Family: They are looking forward to it too! Hehe!

Lord Qin: This time he can finally go with him openly!

Qin Zhao: So annoying! He has to stay at home to study. He also wants to go to the scene to eat melons...
