This afternoon, in a corner of the teahouse, the young man kept talking about his various favorites in Liu's house, excitedly.
The woman clasped her hands to support her chin, listening with gusto, with a smile on her mouth.
The young man who can speak up didn't notice that the woman's eyes had never left him for a moment.
After drinking two pots of good tea, Qian Wanjin slowly stopped.
"If you want to talk about the Liu Family and Xinghua Village, you can't finish it for three days and three nights. If you are interested, I will tell you next time, but say it in advance. Don't have illusions about me. Chat and chat. I won't like you. Yes, I won't marry you!"
The woman smiled and did not answer.
Qian Wanjin's heart is a little susceptible, and I don't understand what her smile means, but I always feel that... it was unkind.
After thinking about it, Qian Wanjin asked cautiously, "You seem to be nineteen years old this year, and you are still an old girl. Seriously, is it true that no one wants you? So my family wants to discuss it with me. Dear, did you recruit you?"
"What do you think?"
Again, it made him depressed to answer more than not to answer.
If he knows the exact answer, he still needs to talk more to her
Seeing that the young man was on guard again, the woman said slowly, "Actually, you don't have to keep reminding me, I understand what you are thinking. Just, why don't you think about it the other way around? Even if I retire this time, you have nothing to do with me. , But will your family give up? You have to negotiate with each other again and again until you compromise. Instead of repeating the torture, it is better to keep our marriage, you can be free from endless oppression, say Uncertainly, you can get your freedom back early. What's wrong?"
"Of course it's not good. I want to be free. Then I will get married with you! Otherwise, my father won't let me go! I don't want to get married!"
"If you don't want to, then you won't get married."
Qian Wanjin's eyes popped, "What did you say?"
"I said, if you don't want to, then you won't get married. I can help you solve this matter."
"Are you serious? Are you kidding me?"
"What am I coaxing you to do?" The woman curled her lips and smiled, "Let me dignified the daughter of the General's Palace, and force the man to marry? I also want to face. We only need to keep this marriage between us. You are free, and my father doesn't need it. Worrying about my marriage is going to gray my hair again, it's reciprocal mutual benefit."
Qian Wanjin is almost going crazy with joy, if what she said is true, then he is hopeful of liberation!
However, after the ecstasy, Qian Wanjin squeezed and pretended, "You are really not young, if you stay married to me, I will not be married to you. When you are able to terminate the marriage contract one day, you But you really become an old aunt."
"It's okay, I don't want it anyway, didn't you say it?"
Qian Wanjin was embarrassed, he was angry. Although Shi Xianrou is not the type he likes, she is not bad in appearance and has a strong background. When it comes to making a marriage with the Qian family, it is the Qian family who has climbed up. It is impossible that none of the powerful children in Beijing has an idea about her.
It made him a little guilty.
"Ah, in this case, then we'll even make an agreement. Of course, if you meet someone you like in the future, as long as you say something, I can break the marriage contract with you at any time!"
"Okay." The woman smiled brighter, and Qian Wanjin didn't understand the deep gleam in her beautiful eyes.
There is a word in this world, he probably forgot.
It's called, boil the frog in warm water.
Qian Wanjin belongs to her.
Qian Wanjin, who was immersed in excitement, had a sudden chill on his back, which he ignored.
"In this case, how about you help me plead with my father when you send me home, and say that our business is set, let him let me go? I have a lot of work to do, and I can’t lose my business. Regardless, the order from Xinghuacun Winery is still with me. If it is not sent back in time and the goods cannot be delivered by that time, I will have to pay a lot of money!"
"good."
…
Imperial Palace, Ci Ning Hall.
The middle-aged lady is standing in front of the window sill, holding a pair of golden scissors in her hand, pruning the bonsai with great patience.
The maidservant walked in, "Manny, Miss Fu is here."
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Outside the palace gate, slowly walked into a figure of Ping Ting, with a graceful figure. The pale green gauze skirt lined the person with a pure and delicate appearance.
"Fu Yuzheng has seen the empress." The woman knelt down.
"Get up." Without turning back, the lady's voice was faint and she couldn't hear her emotions. "You can hear the news coming back over there."
"Hui Niangniang, Yuzheng already knows."
"The emperor is only ten years old, so he is suddenly interested in the wine shop. I think it is the regent's intention. The emperor can only respond."
"Yuzheng dare not guess."
"Xinghuacun Distillery, the property of the Qian family in the capital." The lady paused, "The Qian family has been suppressed by my Liu family in second place these years, and I have long been unconvinced in my heart. However, the capital is not strong enough to turn over. There are several rare fruit wines on the list, and the scenery of the Qian family has long been gone. The regent suddenly became interested in a small wine shop. Is it possible that he wanted to support the Qian family and fight against my Liu family?"
"Yuzheng has never heard the prince mention this. I don't know the specifics."
"In these years, you have been good at it. You can speak without leaking, so that people can not make mistakes." The lady put down the scissors in her hand, and slowly turned around. Seemingly sneered, his voice was soft and slow, "If he doesn't mention it, just ask. Don't forget who you are. If the Liu family suffers, you may not be able to sleep peacefully. You can be safe in Nanling Palace. Staying here for so many years, you have your own means. Here in this palace, there is no need to be too humble."
Fu Yuzheng's eyes darkened, "Yuzheng dare not."
"I'll wait for your news. As soon as possible, the regent has been with the emperor for long enough. It's time to come back. There can't be no one in the court. You urge it."
"Yes."
He bowed his head and retreated, and the woman slowly turned her head after leaving the gate of the palace very far.
Looking at the long-distance sunlight refracting the three-character Ci Ning Temple, where the pen is walking the dragon, his eyes are cold.
After going out of the palace gate, the carriage of Nanling Palace is at the door.
Although she was only a maid in Nanling Palace, her status was different from that of an ordinary maid.
Everyone knows that she is the savior of King Nanling, and King Nanling is grateful, and treat her differently.
Only she knows, no.
She is just a pawn.
It is the pawn of both sides.
And she knows this, in order to survive, for the obsession in her heart, she is willing to desperately strive for survival in the cracks.
Nanling Palace is located in Wutong Lane of the nearest imperial palace, 100 meters around, no one dares to live next to Nanling Palace.
This low-key and luxurious mansion is the most important symbol of status and power in Beijing.
Its owner, King Nanling, is an existence higher than the emperor.
