Chapter 140 Warm the Young Master’s Bed (Please Vote for Me!!!)

Qin Liushi was the first to react: "My son Xie Yuan is still from Jiangnan Dao. Oh my God, the Qin family is probably going to produce Wen Quxing!"

"Why are you still standing there? You are all dead. It's such a big happy event for our family. Why don't you go buy firecrackers? Buy more and celebrate!"

Qin Junye was about to agree, but Qin Hao stopped his servant.

"Mom, now that my grandfather is ill, and celebrating like this, wouldn't it make people say that the Qin family doesn't understand filial piety?"

Qin Junye swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips, and reprimanded him seriously: "You are a woman with little knowledge, and you almost ruined the reputation of the Marquis Mansion."

Mrs. Qin Liu was a little unhappy at being reprimanded, but she didn't dare to say anything more about filial piety. In feudal society, filial piety was the basic virtue of being a human being. Qin Hao couldn't help but think that if Su Mingzhe came back through time, he would definitely be able to get along like a fish in water.

Xiao Qin tried to smooth things over by saying, "Sister-in-law was also too happy for a moment, so please don't criticize her too harshly. It's rare to be happy today, so it's the same for our family to celebrate at home."

"That's right, quickly ask the kitchen to prepare a table of good food and wine." Qin Junye waved his hand and sent his servants to prepare.

Mrs. Qin Liu also reacted and called her maid: "Why don't you go and prepare hot water so that you can freshen up for the young master."

Qin Hao did not refuse. It was time to take a good bath. It happened to be spring when he came back. The water temperature in the river was too low, so he only dared to wipe it casually. After all, there were no antibiotics in the Song Dynasty, and a cold could kill someone.

After returning to the room and taking off his clothes, Qin Hao just got into the bucket when a graceful maid came over from behind the curtain.

"Master, my servant Qingmei, my wife asked me to serve the young master." Qingmei's pretty face is slightly red. She should be about sixteen years old, and her figure is already in full shape.

Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh at the dregs of this corrupt feudal society.

"Rub my back."

Qingmei's tender little hands held a towel and rubbed Qin Hao's back. I don't know whether it was because the steam in the room was too hot or because she was shy. Her pretty face had climbed up to two red clouds unknowingly.

"try harder."

"Yeah." Qingmei's voice was too low to be heard.

Almost fifteen minutes later, Qin Hao came out of the room, followed by Qingmei, who buried her face in her chest and pretended to be an ostrich.

Qin Hao couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw Qingmei's tender appearance, but he was too young and had no willpower!

"From today on, you will follow me." Qin Hao knew that the Qin Liu family arranged for Qingmei to come here to "serve" him. If Qin Hao was dissatisfied with her "service", she would end badly. The feudal society does not want I'm trying to talk about human rights. The existence of servants is to please the master. It's very cruel and very realistic.

Qingmei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she knelt on the ground gratefully and was about to kowtow. Qin Hao stretched out his hand to pull her up and said seriously.

"There is no need to kneel down and bow down in the future. If you can't do it, just go back to your mother."

"No." Qingmei was startled and quickly stood up.

When they arrived at the front hall, the banquet had been set and the four of them took their seats.

Qin Junye picked up the wine glass and said with some emotion: "Our Dongchang Hou Mansion has not encountered such a happy thing for a long time. Come, let's have a drink as a family."

Hearing the words "family", Xiao Qin's hand tightened on the wine glass, but the hatred in her eyes flashed away and was immediately replaced by a loving smile.

"Yes, come, brother Hao, my aunt is here to congratulate you on winning Jieyuan. In the future, you will definitely be honored at the Donghua Gate and shine on the lintel of the Dongchang Hou Mansion."

Qin Hao's heart tightened. This little Qin was a well-known poisonous woman. It would be better to avoid getting involved with her in the future, otherwise he would not even know if she stabbed him one day.

"Thank you, aunt. It's just that my nephew is still young and can't drink alcohol yet. Please don't be offended by using tea instead of wine."

Xiao Qin's face froze, but when she thought that Qin Hao was only twelve years old, she had no doubts: "Brother Hao is right, but my aunt didn't consider it."

During the banquet, Qin Liu kept asking about Qin Hao's situation at Bailudong Academy in the past two years, and Qin Hao also picked up some interesting things to share with her.

They went to the mountains to catch hares in winter, and took bamboo rafts to fish in the river in summer, which made Qin Liu laugh.

Qin Junye laughed and scolded: "This child is used to coaxing your mother. If he plays like this all day long, how can he win Jieyuan in just two years?"

Qin Hao joked: "Father, please don't expose it. To be honest, mother will feel distressed for a long time, and our food will probably be salty."

"Haha~~~" Qin Junye laughed.

Mrs. Qin Liu also covered her mouth and chuckled, and patted Qin Hao lightly: "This child dares to make fun of my mother. He deserves a beating."

Xiao Qin felt uncomfortable looking at the happy scene in this family.

When she was a girl, she also fantasized about such family happiness, and later she married Gu Yankai and remarried. She also fantasized about the couple playing the piano and the harp in harmony. Unfortunately, he soon discovered that since the death of his sister Daqin, Gu Yankai's heart also followed. After death, she could be the eldest lady of Ningyuan Houfu, but she would never be able to enter Gu Yan's happy heart.

When the banquet was over, Qin Junye was already drunk. It could be seen that he was really happy. Even the words he spoke while drinking were praising Qin Hao.

Qin Hao didn't drink, but he was indeed a little tired. He went back to the room to wash up briefly before getting ready for bed.

As a result, Qingmei had already taken off her coat and got into bed wearing only a tube top.

Qin Hao frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Warm the bed for the young master." Qingmei said softly with a blushing face.

Qin Hao secretly rolled his eyes. It's spring and the bed is still warm. Doesn't this tempt him to commit a crime?

"Okay, you go to sleep." Qin Hao also knew that this was Qingmei's task and did not embarrass her.

"Oh." Qingmei blinked in confusion.

Qin Hao had already gotten into bed, and Qingmei's whole body froze. Although she knew that such a day would come sooner or later, when the day actually came, she still felt nervous, and even her breathing was a bit heavier than usual.

However, what he imagined did not happen. Qin Hao did not take any further action after getting into bed, but simply closed his eyes and started to sleep.

Qingmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little worried. Could it be that she was not good-looking and the young master looked down on her?

Seeing that Qin Hao seemed to be really asleep, Qingmei didn't dare to disturb him and gradually fell asleep.

Turning around, when Qin Hao woke up, he felt something in his hand and heard a soft cry.

Qin Hao suddenly woke up, and then realized in embarrassment that he seemed to have crossed the line, and quickly pulled his hand back.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I woke you up." Qingmei blushed and was a little scared.

Qin Hao was not really Brother Chu, so he quickly calmed down: "It's okay, I usually wake up at this time."

When Qin Hao changed his clothes, Qingmei stood behind the mirror and combed Qin Hao's hair. The master was already up, so there was no reason for the servant to still lie in bed.

Looking at Qin Hao's slightly childish but angular face in the mirror, Qingmei couldn't help but shyly think: The young master is so handsome at a young age, he should be even more handsome when he grows up, right?

Early in the morning, Qin Hao was taken to his grandfather's house by Qin Junye and his wife. Qin Liu's maiden family was also a noble family and ranked as an earl.

However, the title of the Liu family was gained through military merit and was not the founding lord. To inherit the title requires downgrading. In other words, after the death of the old uncle, the Liu family changed from earl to viscount, and their status was naturally not as good as before.

The atmosphere in the Liu family was solemn. Obviously everyone knew what the death of the old uncle would mean to the Liu family.

"Master Marquis, Madam, Young Master, you are here, uncle." The person who came to greet him was Qin Liu's sister-in-law. She cried non-stop when she saw her.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin Liu quickened her pace, walked through the courtyard, and came to the most solemn house in the backyard.

"Dad." Qin Liu rushed to the hospital bed.

The old man in front of the bed was pale and extremely ill. Hearing this cry, he seemed to have a flashback, opened his slightly cloudy eyes, and three words came out of his throat.

"Brother Hao"

Qin Hao stepped forward quickly: "Grandpa, I'm here."

Mrs. Qin Liu cried like a tearful person and told the old man the news about Qin Haozhong's understanding of Yuan.

The old man excitedly held Qin Hao's hand and burst into laughter.

"Haha, okay, okay, our family also has a literary star~~~"

However, after the reflection, the old man passed away.

Suddenly there was a burst of crying in the room, but it was unknown how many people were sad because of his death, and how many people were reluctant to bear the name of Earl.

According to the feudal system, when the elderly in the family die, they must observe filial piety, and children must observe filial piety for three years. During this period, they cannot get married or have sex. Of course, Qin Liu's married daughter does not need to be so strict and only needs to observe filial piety for three months.

Qin Hao, the grandson, only needs to observe filial piety for one month. After all, he is just a grandson.

The earl's funeral was held with great grandeur, and the flowing banquets were laid out for three whole days.

During the funeral, the news that Qin Hao passed the Jieyuan exam spread like wildfire, which made him a popular candidate in the eyes of everyone. Not to mention the noble family, there are only a few ordinary poor families who can pass the exam at the age of twelve. of? What's more, it's Jieyuan of Jiangnan West Road?

Jiangnan has always had a prosperous literary style. In other words, it is involution. Generally speaking, Jieyuan in Jiangnan has only half a foot on the gold list, and there are very few who fail to pass the exam.

If Qin Hao hadn't still been in the period of filial piety, someone would have already started to arrange marriage arrangements for him.

After finally waiting until the funeral was over, Qin Hao also took advantage of this time to hide away.

Reading, writing, and practicing boxing at home every day makes my life quite comfortable.

When the period of filial piety was over, Qin Hao found Qin Junye.

"Father, now that the period of filial piety has passed, I think it's better to find a gentleman in Bianjing so as not to waste my studies."

Qin Junye nodded: "It should be so, but Brother Hao is now Jieyuan, so it is not easy to find a matching gentleman."

[Ding, the mission has been updated. Enter the Shengjia in Jiying Lane to check in, and you will be rewarded with 20 luck points. 】

[Ding, the mission has been updated, meet the key characters in the play, and you will be rewarded with a certain amount of luck, depending on the character's criticality. 】

Qin Hao's heart moved and he finally issued the mission.

"My child heard that the Sheng family in Jiying Lane hired a scholar from Zhuang who is very knowledgeable."

When Qin Junye heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said that there was no problem. A fifth-rank official from the Sheng family who had just entered Bianjing City should not dare not to give the Dongchang Hou Mansion this face.

So, that day, Qin Junye and his wife came to visit with gifts.

When Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang heard that it was the Marquis of Dongchang who was visiting, they received them very respectfully. After learning about Qin Junye's intention, Sheng Hong pretended to be pretentious.

"It is natural that Sheng would like the young master of the Hou family to come to my private school to study, but..."

Qin Junye asked: "Just what?"

"It's just that the academics in my village have a weird temper." Sheng Hong smiled pretending to be embarrassed.

Qin Junye hurriedly handed over his hand: "Please give me a kind word from Shanda people. Alas, it would be presumptuous to say that I came here this time. It's just that my family finally got rid of a scholar like Brother Hao, and I really can't bear to let it go to waste."

Sheng Hong's family had little foundation in Bianjing and did not know about the affairs of the Dongchang Hou Mansion. They only thought that Qin Junye was trying to put money on his son's face.

"Oh? How old are you, your master? Have you obtained any honors?"

Qin Junye straightened his chest and said loudly: "Brother Hao is only twelve years old. Fortunately, he passed the provincial examination. I will be the Jieyuan of Jiangnan West Road for this year."

Sheng Hong almost spit out a mouthful of tea and looked at Qin Junye in shock. As a serious Jinshi, he naturally knew the value of Jieyuan in Jiangnan West Road.

Wang Ruofu also secretly smacked his lips. It was rare enough to be elected at the age of twelve, but it was Jieyuan from Jiangnan West Road. Even her son Sheng Changbai was only eighteen years old when he was elected, and there were only a dozen of them. This has been Many people praised him as a hero of his generation.

"Do you really mean what the Marquis said?" Sheng Hong confirmed again.

Qin Junye said seriously: "It's a matter of selecting talents for the country, how dare you cheat?"

"Then there must be no problem. Zhuang Xuexue loves talents the most, so he will definitely agree." Sheng Hong said quickly. This business was originally a matter of smooth sailing, and he could also sell the Marquis a favor.

Enrolling in school was a troublesome matter in ancient times. The status of teachers is second only to parents. Although Qin Hao does not need to be a disciple of Zhuang Xuexue, the necessary rituals are still indispensable. Equivalent to tuition.

[Ding, complete the task, check in the character Zhuang Xuexue, and be rewarded with 5 luck points. 】

[Ding, complete the mission, check in the character Sheng Hong, and be rewarded with 20 luck points. 】

[Ding, complete the mission and check in the character Wang Ruofu. The reward luck value is: 15 points. 】

[Ding, unlock the check-in scene Jiying Lane Shengjia, reward luck value: 20 points. 】

After the ceremony, Zhuang Xuexue said to Qin Hao: "Starting from tomorrow, class will start at Chen time and school will drop off at Shen time. Don't be too late or sooner."

That is to say, classes start at eight in the morning and end at four in the afternoon, so the schoolwork is not too heavy.

After Qin Hao left, Sheng Hong couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that the Dongchang Hou Mansion has declined, but I didn't expect that such a Qilin'er would appear. His future will be limitless."

Wang Ruofu also had a very good impression of Qin Hao: "Despite his young age, this legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion has a graceful manner in dealing with others. He has the style of a great man and has a handsome appearance. He is a really handsome boy."

As he was talking, Wang Ruofu suddenly said: "Master, our Rulan is almost ten years old now, and we are almost the same age."

When Sheng Hong heard this, his face immediately turned serious: "Ignorant woman, you are so arrogant. You want to marry the son of a marquis without even opening your mouth? You don't even look at the family backgrounds of the two families!"

Wang Ruofu was unconvinced and said: "What's the point? Isn't the Dongchang Hou Mansion also in decline now? The Sheng family is also a scholarly family, and my father is worthy of the Ancestral Temple. It's not too far behind."

"Confused!" Sheng Hong slapped the table directly and said sternly: "No matter how poor the Dongchang Marquis Mansion is, he is still a Marquis. Then Qin Hao will inherit the title in the future. Think about it, Hua Lan only married into the Earl of Zhongqin Mansion. That's why we are so high-spirited, but you still have such wishful thinking and want Ru Lan to be the marquis's wife, you are really overestimating your abilities!"

Wang Ruofu winced when he was scolded, but he still refused to give up and persuaded softly: "Master, I am also thinking about the Sheng family. Then Qin Hao has won Jieyuan at a young age, and his future will be unlimited. , and with a title of nobility, it’s hard to find such an uncle even with a lantern!"

Sheng Hong was a little moved by what he said, but he soon came to his senses and said angrily: "You also know that people are in good condition. Can you tell me how many distinguished families there are in Bianjing City, and what kind of children they have raised? Dongchang Hou It's not easy for the government to have such a Qilin'er, why don't we think about finding a family member who can help him? The foundation of our Sheng family is too shallow, what can we do to help him?"

"You, you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible!"

Wang Ruofu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. Such a good son-in-law was right in front of him, so it was okay not to meet him. It was really uncomfortable to just watch him slip away.

Shengfu, Linqi Pavilion.

Lin Xiaoniang was trying on Mo Lan's makeup: "Tomorrow our family will have a legitimate son of the Hou family come to school. You can put on that smoke cage plum blossom dress and match it with this makeup to try to leave a good impression on him."

Mo Lan was still a little confused at this time: "Miss, isn't that skirt reserved for me to wear during the Lantern Festival? Why do I have to change into it tomorrow?"

Lin Xiaoniang put on the paintbrush in her hand and sat in front of Sheng Molan: "My silly girl, you are also 10 years old this year. In a few years, Ji Ji will be looking for her husband's family. I sent someone to inquire about this Dongchang Houfu The legitimate son is not only handsome in appearance, but also of noble character. Now he is only twelve years old, and he will be awarded the title of "Jieyuan". His future will be limitless. If you can marry into the Dongchang Hou Mansion, you will have endless glory and wealth."

Mo Lan was suspicious when she heard it: "Is he really as good as my mother said? You haven't seen him in person, it's just hearsay."

Lin Xiaoniang was almost angry to death. She suddenly rolled her eyes and said passionately: "Okay, I don't care whether you want to change or not. If the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion is snatched away by your sister Rulan, don't look for it." I’ll cry!”

Mo Lan was indeed fooled. She and Ru Lan had been on the same page since childhood, so how could Ru Lan take the lead?

Sorry, I forgot the time when writing.
