Under the big tree in front of the door.

Everyone in the Qin family stood there, looking at the officers and soldiers on the river bank not far away and the sedan chairs surrounded by them. They all looked nervous and uneasy.

Even Qin Wenzheng, who had always been calm, looked quite nervous at the moment.

Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin hurried over.

Amidst the falling snowflakes, there were still a few small boats carrying people and goods on the river.

The carriage stopped on the other side.

The few nobles surrounded by officers and soldiers all sat in the sedan.

"Qingzhou, look..."

When Qin Wenzheng saw the couple coming, he quickly asked for advice, but ignored the smartest daughter in his family.

Song Ruyue said with an ugly face on the side: "Qingzhou, Weimo, do you think these officers and soldiers will come to arrest us?"

Luo Qingzhou watched for a while by the river and comforted: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't worry, they probably didn't come here for us. The one walking in the front was wearing red clothes and holding a guard of honor. He should be from the Ministry of Etiquette, and there were also

Goods and gifts, and they are coming from the Royal Forest Army. Those sedans have royal decorations, and two of them are women... So, they are not here to arrest anyone, maybe they are here to pay New Year's greetings."

Song Ruyue suddenly opened her eyes wide and said: "New Year's greetings? Will you wish us a New Year's greetings?"

Then she suddenly became excited: "Is it possible that your eldest brother suddenly made great achievements and was reused again?"

Qin Wenzheng frowned and glanced at her with disgust.

Today, Song Ruyue is wearing a newly made red coat, a gold hairpin in her hair, and a little makeup on her face. She has been exquisitely dressed up. Not only is her skin white and beautiful, she is young and beautiful, and she has a graceful figure.

She is a noble and beautiful young lady who is full of nobility and looks perfect.

but……

Even Miss Qin couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "Mother, she is probably planning to go to Lingxiao Sect to pay New Year's greetings. It has nothing to do with us."

At this time, the second brother Qin couldn't help complaining next to him: "Mom is so stupid, and the people in the government don't know that we live here. And even if the eldest brother is reused for his meritorious service, it is impossible to have such a big battle. You

Look carefully, we are all members of the royal family, we...ah!"

Before he could finish his rant, Song Ruyue picked up a broom next to him and slapped him on the butt. She became angry and said: "You traitor! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, if you dare to scold your mother, won't you go to heaven in the future?"

Beat you to death!"

Brother Qin did not dare to escape, so he could only run towards the courtyard while being beaten by her, and began to apologize and beg for mercy.

The two of them chased each other and ran into the courtyard.

Others were used to seeing this kind of scene, and their eyes were still looking at the riverside not far away.

Qin Wenzheng frowned and said with confusion on his face: "The royal family is so aggressive in currying favor with the Lingxiao Sect. Could it be that they want to win over them? However, the five major sects have already signed a contract and will never participate in the affairs of the court. The Lingxiao Sect should not promise anything to them privately.

"

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he said, "It seems there are people from Longhu Academy."

Luo Qingzhou said nothing, looking at the two figures who had just got off the boat by the river in shock.

A beautiful girl with a tall and graceful figure wearing a purple skirt.

A petite little girl wearing a red dress.

At this time, Miss Qin seemed to have also seen it, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Qingzhou, look at those two people, are they Sister Meijiao and Xiaorui?"

Luo Qingzhou looked at the two figures, nodded, and said: "It should be."

Second Miss Qin looked at him and said, "Why are they here too?"

Luo Qingzhou frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

Previously, the Queen Mother and the Emperor wanted to betroth the princess to a major disciple of the Huashan Sect, but in the end it was nothing due to what happened in Kyoto and the princess's resistance. Could it be that they suddenly came to Lingxiao Sect today because of that incident?

The Queen Mother and the Emperor suddenly want to change their sect to win over each other, so are they prepared to sacrifice a princess?

He also thought about the message he sent to the princess the day before yesterday, and the princess said she was in a bad mood. He also thought about the fact that the princess had not replied to him last night, and he became more and more uneasy and worried.

However, if he is a disciple of Lingxiao Sect, then he is the most suitable candidate.

But judging from the princess's reaction in the past two days, it shouldn't be him.

While he was thinking wildly, the team by the river had already started to head towards the foot of the mountain of Lingxiao Sect.

The warrior guards looked around with sharp and vigilant eyes.

Luo Qingzhou immediately said: "Father-in-law, let's go into the house first so as not to be seen by them and cause unnecessary trouble."

Qin Wenzheng quickly scolded the maids, and everyone in the Qin family immediately entered the house and closed the courtyard door.

Not long after, the team had gone far away, and everyone in the Qin family felt relieved.

Qin Wenzheng and his wife sat down in the hall, preparing to receive New Year greetings from their children.

Qin Chuan stepped forward first, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Dad, mother, I wish you a happy new year, harmony as husband and wife, all the best, good health, and happiness!"

With that said, he took the tea from Meier and gave each of them a cup.

Qin Wenzheng took it in his hand, took a sip, gave him a red envelope, and taught him seriously: "Read more, practice more martial arts, talk less, and do more."

Qin Chuan said: "Kid, remember this!"

Song Ruyue glared at him, took the tea and took a sip, then spread her hands and still said angrily: "I didn't prepare a red envelope for you, a traitor like you."

Qin Chuan suddenly smiled playfully and said: "Mother, you have hit me and scolded me. My child has already apologized to you and kowtowed to you. Moreover, you also drank the tea that my child offered me. How can you not give me a red envelope?"

"

Song Ruyue glared at him and said, "I won't give it to you!"

Qin Chuan continued to apologize with saliva on his face.

Qin Wenzheng on the side frowned and said, "Okay, Wei Mo and Qing Zhou are still waiting. How can we be so angry during the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Chuan immediately smiled and said: "That's right, mother, please calm down, your good son-in-law is waiting to kowtow to you and serve tea."

As soon as these words came out, Song Ruyue was startled and glanced at someone secretly.

It would be nice to let that boy bow and offer tea. How dare she let people kneel down and kowtow? They didn't even kneel when they saw the eldest princess and the emperor.

"Here, shut your mouth!"

Song Ruyue looked at him with disgust and threw the red envelope away.

Qin Chuan immediately took it in his hand, stood up from the ground, and then walked aside to count the money.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin.

Second Miss Qin glanced at the door, frowned slightly and said, "Why hasn't sister come out yet?"

Song Ruyue looked at Qiu'er at the door and said, "Qiu'er, go and urge me."

Qiu'er agreed and immediately turned around and left.

While counting the money, Qin Chuan raised his head and said, "Qingzhou, Weimo, you just have to pay New Year's greetings to your father and mother first."

The second Miss Qin was about to speak when Qin Wenzheng's face suddenly darkened and he reprimanded: "I told you to talk less and do more, don't you remember? Go and sweep the snow in the yard."

Qin Chuan: "..."

After a while.

Qiu'er came back and replied: "Master, madam, I just went away and didn't see the eldest lady. Sister Bailing said that the eldest lady slept late last night and was still resting. She said she would come over later to pay you New Year greetings."

Song Ruyue frowned, and when she was about to speak, Qin Wenzheng said: "Since she hasn't had a good rest, let her continue to rest. It doesn't matter when she comes to pay New Year greetings. Our family doesn't have such big rules."

Song Ruyue thought of her daughter's pity and said nothing.

For some reason, Luo Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Miss Qin didn't come.

He quickly pulled Miss Qin Er and said, "Wei Mo, let's go, let's pay New Year's greetings to my father-in-law and mother-in-law first."

Second Miss Qin glanced outside the door again, sighed secretly, and had no choice but to walk up to the second elder with him.

Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to bow, Qin Wenzheng suddenly said: "Qingzhou, kneel down and kowtow to pay New Year greetings. This is what you should do."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.

Even Song Ruyue on the side looked at him inexplicably. His master never cared about these rules, let alone embarrass this boy. Why today...

Luo Qingzhou paused after hearing this, without hesitation, immediately pulled Miss Qin to kneel down, kowtowed, and said: "I wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law a happy new year, all the best, and longevity!"

Second Miss Qin also whispered: "I wish my father and mother a happy New Year and keep smiling."

With a smile on her face, Song Ruyue took out two big red envelopes and handed them to the two of them respectively. Then she looked to the side and reminded: "Master, why are you so stupid? Give me the red envelopes."

Qin Wenzheng's face was blank, and he slowly took out two books wrapped in red leather from his sleeves and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"Book?"

Not only Song Ruyue was stunned, but everyone else also had surprised expressions on their faces.

Song Ruyue quickly whispered: "Master, where is the red envelope I gave you this morning? Why did you give me the book?"

Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin both took the book with some confusion.
