Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

"Princess, I have heard the news about that young master." The personal maid walked to the side of the princess.

Princess Huimin was in the pavilion in the small garden, drinking Longjing tea with mountain spring water brought in from afar.

"That young man is the second son of the general's mansion, and he is the subject of a rumor that has been circulating in the capital in recent days."

The princess thought of the man in Merlin, and thought that he was truly a young talent who could grow up to this point despite living in exile. She was very angry that the culprit had replaced the legitimate son of the general's mansion, and she felt very sorry for Qi Xuanyi.

"Princess, if you have any idea, why don't you tell the prince to help?"

"Shut up! How can you say that?" Princess Huimin angrily scolded the maidservant for being unruly.

"Princess, please spare me, I was wrong." The maid knelt down in panic and kowtowed to the princess.

"This won't happen again. Please leave."

"Yes... yes." The maid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up, bent down and walked out.

The pavilion became quiet.

Princess Huimin thought about the fact that she was three years older than the boy and knew that there was no possibility for them to be together.

Looking at the plum tree outside, he put down his teacup with a bad mood, got up and left.

General House

Before the family reunion banquet began, Mr. Qi Yushi came to the door in advance with his family.

"This is my darling grandson, he looks just like Awei." When Censor Qi saw his grandson who was found, his whole face looked like his daughter when she was young.

"Grandpa"

Qi Xuanyi greeted and saluted the elderly grandfather.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. Come visit grandpa's house often in the future." Censor Qi took out a jade pendant from his body and hung it on Qi Xuanyi's belt with his own hands.

"This... I can't afford such a valuable gift, grandpa." Qi Xuanyi wanted to refuse his grandpa.

"You can't refuse a gift from your elders." He patted her shoulder in a serious tone.

Qi Wei at the side gestured to his son to accept it. This was the Qi family's recognition of his son, and also the father's love for his child. He gave the jade pendant that he had worn for more than 20 years to his grandson.

"This child has suffered so much outside." The old lady wanted to come and see her daughter, but was stopped by the old man.

"grandmother"

Qi Xuanyi bowed and greeted this old and loving grandmother with a favorable impression.

"This is my Qi family's grandson, not like that girl," Aunt Qi interrupted. She didn't like the unruly and willful Chen Jiaojiao, and had always liked to show off her new jewelry or clothes next to her daughter.

When everyone heard Aunt Qi mention Chen Jiaojiao, they looked at Qi Xuanyi carefully.

"You don't have to do this, I don't mind," Qi Xuanyi smiled calmly.

After hearing this, everyone let go of their nervousness and started chatting with each other.

It was almost time for the banquet to begin. Ye Yiyi brought everyone from the Qi family to the front yard and sat down at the banquet.

Guests also began to arrive one after another, bringing gifts with them. They sat at the banquet, greeted each other, talked to each other, and were very curious about the protagonist.

When Qi Xuanyi was brought to the chairman's seat by General Ye, he solemnly introduced his son to everyone.

"I didn't expect that General Ye's son is so talented and handsome," Lord Li whispered to Lord Zhang beside him.

"I heard before that the person who was replaced was a daughter, but it turns out that it was a son."

"Just looking at this face, you can tell that he is from the Qi family. Only his eyes are the same as General Ye's."

The ministers discussed the recent topics in the General's Mansion in a low voice.

The seats for female members were extremely lively. The wives of various ministers enthusiastically pinched Qi Xuanyi's faces and gave her many purses filled with golden melon seeds, golden peanuts, silver melon seeds, and silver beans.

The girls sat at a separate table behind the screen to avoid suspicion, and were very curious about Qi Xuanyi who was in front of the screen.

Qi Xuanyi met many cousins ​​and relatives through her elder brother and received many gifts.

Until the end of the banquet, no one had the guts to talk about Zhen Jiaojiao.

The topic of the capital city caused by the General's Mansion was overshadowed by other news, and people were no longer curious about it.

Qi Xuanyi is cared for by his parents every day in the general's mansion, because they are afraid that something will go wrong for him.

My eldest brother has gone back to the academy. Next year he will take a test to see how well he has studied over the years. If he passes, it will be easier to find a marriage partner.

Ye Yihua did not intend to let his son develop into a military commander, as military commanders were not popular among civil officials in the capital, and they held low positions when there was no war. He specifically asked his father-in-law for a letter of recommendation and sent his son to the Hanlin Academy, where there were many famous scholars.

Qi Wei also asked the wives of ministers he knew if there were any suitable girls for his eldest son to marry.

That morning, Qi Xuanyi's mother came to ask him to change into new clothes early in the morning. He woke up only when he got on the carriage.

"Mom, where are we going?"

"You only asked me now." Qi Wei looked at him with amusement.

"Today is the day for burning incense and worshipping Buddha at the royal temple. All the ministers and their wives in the capital will go there to burn incense."

"I have made an appointment with a lady to burn incense together"

"understood"

Qi Xuanyi felt bored when she heard that they were going to burn incense. She didn't want to hang out with the women and feel embarrassed to be stared at by them.

The royal temple did not prohibit the common people from entering to burn incense and worship Buddha, but the people were afraid of offending the dignitaries and offending the ladies, so there was basically a consensus to go to the distant Baiyun Temple to burn incense.

Qi Xuanyi got off the carriage and followed behind his mother. He felt uncomfortable because of the gazes from all directions and hid behind his mother.

Qi Wei felt the movement behind him and smiled dotingly.

Just then I met Mrs. Wang, who had made an appointment with me.

"Mrs. Ye, it's rare for you to bring your son out today," Mrs. Wang walked forward cheerfully.

"Since he was bored at home today, I dragged him here to play." Qi Wei wanted her son to get to know more people of the same age.

"It just so happens that my son is here today as well. I'll take your son to play around here and get to know some of the people around him," Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Wenbo, who was reluctant, behind her.

When Wang Wenbo heard that he could leave, he resumed his gentlemanly image and took Qi Xuanyi's hand to enthusiastically introduce the scenery in the temple.

"Brother Xuanyi, what do you think of the lotus flowers in this lotus pond?"

Qi Xuanyi was taken to a pavilion on the back hill of the temple to admire the beautiful blooming lotus flowers.

“A rare and picturesque view”

The two of them introduced themselves to each other and became more familiar with each other, and became more relaxed when talking.

Wang Wenbo skillfully asked his servant to buy some snacks and tea from the temple.

"Let's have some snacks and tea here, and then we'll go find them after they finish burning incense."

“After burning incense, these ladies would chat together for a long time,” Wang Wenbo explained to him with experience.

Qi Xuanyi expressed his understanding to him.

A hidden loft high up.

"Daughter, you are already 19 years old and will be almost 20. You can't wait any longer." The old prince doted on Princess Huimin very much, and she stayed in the mansion without getting married.

"Take a look at the ones you like." The old prince pointed at the young man outside the window.

"I've asked around, and those who come here today are all unmarried men." The old prince shamelessly asked the princess to find out, and the emperor heard it and joked that he was finally willing to marry his daughter off, but he also cared about Princess Huimin and investigated many young talents.

"Father, my mother has just passed away and I don't want to get married." Princess Huimin looked down on men who had three wives and four concubines. Even if they were unmarried young talents, they would definitely have concubines in their rooms.

When I looked out the window towards the lotus pond, I saw him in the pavilion. I couldn't hear any sound and could only see him calmly drinking tea and talking to the person next to him.

"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of your mother. If the princess were still alive, this wouldn't have happened." The prince felt very guilty.
