Chapter 289
Meanwhile, once again Qin Zeyu was sent by Qin Zening who had trouble walking to accompany them, and just like before he silently followed them behind while thinking: When his sister gets married, sooner or later his eldest brother would probably also get married right?
With these thoughts bothering him, he kicked a stone as he walked in boredom, and the longan-sized stone rolled forward...
Ai, he would rather go practice his sword!
Qin Zeyu remembered the precious sword that Gu Zezhi sent to him yesterday: that sword was indeed a good sword, even Master Yue said so himself! Unfortunately, Master Yue doesn't allow him to use it and only lets him use the wooden sword first.
"Kaca." (sound of a branch being broken)
Qin Zeyu smoothly breaks a plum branch from the side, feeling that it would be quite handy to use as his sword.
Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi, who were two steps ahead, stopped and looked at him.
Under the puzzled gaze of the two, Qin Zeyu suddenly felt a bit stupid.
He cleared his throat and said, "I think this plum blossom is blooming very well..."

He flung his hand, and the red plum on the branch trembled with it.
Qin Jiu: "....."
Gu Zezhi looked at the red plum in Qin Zeyu's hand, and then at Qin Jiu as his right hand formed a fist and placed it on his lips and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
He clearly wasn't laughing, but it seemed like Qin Jiu heard a soft chuckle, and this made her heart skip a beat, and for some reason, she felt like she was being made fun of.
Gu Zezhi lifted his right hand and picked up a red plum from the branch in Qin Zeyu's hand, put it under his nose, and sniffed it, with hooked lips, he said, "It is blooming quite well."
Qin Jiu looked at the red plum blossom between his fingers and heard him suddenly say, "Don't move."
Qin Jiu subconsciously obeyed.
Gu Zezhi slightly lowered his head and put the red plum in his hand on Qin Jiu's ear.
And when the wind blows, the petals of the big red plum blossom trembled like butterfly wings gently caressing the young lady's cheeks like jade making her skin more radiant than snow, delicate and beautiful but not so overwhelming.
The scent of the red plum blossoms permeates Qin Jiu's nose along with the wind, as well as the faint scent of Gu Zezhi's body, like a feather, gently stirring up waves into her heart...

"Does it look beautiful?" Gu Zezhi turned and asked Qin Zeyu.
Of course, his sister was beautiful!!! Qin Zeyu nodded enthusiastically as if he was too eager to prove that it was right.
Qin Jiu could not help but caress the flower on her temples, and then heard Gu Zezhi say with a smile, "I have prepared a housewarming gift for you. It should be here soon."
Qin Zeyu looked at Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi, and always felt that something was not right...
En, it seems that he was fed with a mouthful of sweets which was a bit greasy.
Just then, a rough old maidservant came trotting in and reported, "Third Miss, Fifth Master, a carriage full of things has been sent over from Master Gu's residence."
Gu Zezhi's housewarming gift arrived, it was a cart of camellias as well as a florist.
Qin Jiu run to see the flowers with great excitement and was soon busy discussing with the florist where to put the camellia.
On the same day, Empress Wei had Grand Eunuch Yu Ping send over twenty servants.
"Third Miss Qin, these people are all officials' slaves who have been confiscated. The empress asked us to give them to you, the deeds are all here. If third Miss Qin feels you need them, you should use them first."

As soon as Qin Jiu heard that it was Empress Wei who asked Yu Ping to give these servants to her, she kept them all.
They moved out of the marquis's mansion this time except for Du Ruo and Qin Zening's personal servants, they basically didn't bring anyone with them. Knowing that they would be a shortage of manpower, Qin Jiu originally planned to wait until they settled down and then find an officer to buy some slaves.
But now, this saves her some trouble. Immediately, Qin Jiu and Du Ruo discussed how to settle these people separately. The inner courtyard, outer courtyard, kitchen, needlework room, and so on all needed manpower.
And because of this, she has been busy at home for several days without leaving the house—she was too busy that she was getting dizzy, literally. And this made her think that this house really lack a sister-in-law!
After her sister-in-law passes through the gate, she could take all trivial internal affairs of the mansion to her sister-in-law as a matter of course, and live the life of a salted fish that she dreams of!!
However, no matter how much she wishes to have one, she couldn't have a sister-in-law out of thin air, so she could only resign herself to her fate and keep busy.
By the time the brothers, and sister settled down and hung the plaque of the Qin Mansion on the gate of their new house, it was already the first day of March, and the feeling of spring was getting stronger.
Qin Jiu hadn't been to the palace for quite a while, so she was thinking of visiting the empress after they hung their plaque at their new house, and talked to empress about their new home but just as they hang the plaque they heard the news that the empress was ill.
The three siblings were all startled, Qin Jiu rushed from Xihulu Alley to the palace right away. Since she had the gate pass from Empress Wei she was able to get into the palace very smoothly and went straight to Fengluan Palace.
