Jiang Yashuang was holding Dabai who had slipped in at some point. At this moment, she looked down at it and saw the embarrassment of Qiu Yilan's mostly naked shoulders: "I heard the doctor said you are not feeling well, so just Come and see, are you afraid of summer?”
"It doesn't matter, I just feel a little bored after staying in the cold room for a long time." Qiu Yilan brushed her long hair and looked at him with a half-smile, "Su He made a fuss and insisted on inviting someone to come over and have a look... Nothing happened. ”
Jiang Yashuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved." He added, "The palace has not been repaired this year, so we can't avoid the heat. It's really too hot in Beijing and it's not as cool as the mountains."
Seeing Qiu Yilan smiling but saying nothing, he was a little surprised, "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm thinking, what would Miss Xue's face be like if she knew that her husband-to-be was climbing over the wall in broad daylight to care about me?" Qiu Yilan said with a smile, "I was wondering why she did it a few days ago. So for my cousin, you must know that it was not my cousin who fell in love with her and pestered Xue Xiang to get married—it turned out that my cousin blocked the disaster on my behalf!"
Jiang Yashuang frowned when she heard this, and then said: "My family had this intention, but I didn't agree."
Qiu Yilan felt a little more confident, but said hypocritically: "Actually, why are you doing this? I am not the kind of person who stalks and stalks. It is said that Miss Xue is the prime minister's beloved daughter and is very popular with Xue Xiang. , since she is enamored with you, she will have to speak for the Jiang family in front of Mr. is you… "
"Are you jealous?" Jiang Yashuang stroked Dabai's smooth fur. Probably because he had "Nianxue", he was very good at getting close to lion cats. After so little effort, Dabai was already very affectionate with him. She made comfortable coquettish sounds from time to time, and kept rubbing her head against his palm. Jiang Yashuang teased it and smiled, "Don't deny it—if you didn't mind this matter, how could Miss Xue be so popular with her?" Have you asked about Xiang Ai? I remember that you are not very familiar with various ladies!"
Qiu Yilan stood up and walked, walked to the table and sat down, pouring herself a cup of black plum drink: "You are overthinking, but it was just when I asked Miss He why Miss Xue was embarrassing my cousin, Miss He said it smoothly I just remembered what I said.”
Jiang Yashuang smiled and said, "Really? You remember it as soon as you hear it?" The tone was very meaningful.
"I have always had a good memory." Qiu Yilan said pointedly, "But if I need to have a bad memory, I can forget it at any time."
"You are obviously concerned about the rumors about Jiang Xue's marriage, and you want me to give an explanation - this is natural, why do you need to beat around the bush like this?" Jiang Yashuang said funny, "I didn't say I wouldn't tell you."
Qiu Yilan tilted her head and thought for a while, then beckoned him to sit at the table and put on a sweet smile: "Then tell me now?"
"The Xue family came here with such intention and appointed me." Jiang Yashuang didn't care about her pretentiousness just now and said cheerfully, "It's just that since I already have an appointment with you, naturally I won't agree."
Qiu Yilan looked at him and smiled: "It seems that Duke Qin really loves you."
"First of all, my grandmother spoke to me, and secondly, my grandfather didn't believe Xue Xiang very much." Jiang Yashuang did not mince words, "Xue Xiangzhong has been fighting for many years, how could he give up his neutral attitude just because of the dispute between the Ding and Yang families? Although Ding If the family falls, the neutral faction will inevitably suffer losses. However, with Xue Xiang here, this loss is not unacceptable. On the contrary, without Xue Xiang, the neutral faction will be defeated. Therefore, if Xue Xiang is really unable to escape this time. , will only abandon the Ding family instead of marrying with the Jiang family... Grandfather thinks that Xue Xiang has other plans. "
Qiu Yilan rolled her eyes: "Then if the situation were not like this, Duke Qin would definitely want you to marry Miss Xue's family?"
"I'm not a person who breaks promises." Jiang Yashuang smiled, "If you feel uneasy, how about I go to the palace tomorrow to ask for help from Fourth Aunt?"
"Haha, I'm just kidding..." Qiu Yilan burst into tears in her heart: Marry him? Not getting married? If she didn't think about this issue well, how could she dare to get engaged to Jiang Yashuang? !
Jiang Yashuang scratched Dabai's chin and said: "Although my grandmother and I don't care much, after all, there are many people in the family, and my grandmother also said that it would be better to wait until you are a filial piety before handling our affairs. Otherwise, in the future, You will inevitably have to listen to a lot of gossip... Of course, other people in the family will not have anyone to talk to, and there is nothing we can do about it. "
Qiu Yilan looked at Dabai who was so happy in his arms that she couldn't even miss Shu, and said thoughtfully: "Sure enough, your wife is not easy to make."
"No." Jiang Yashuang smiled again, "These talkers are from other rooms. Our fourth room - my father and mother are in the north and haven't been back for many years. I heard from my grandmother that they are all very kind. Yes. My eighth sister-in-law is now in charge of the fourth house. My eighth sister-in-law is recognized by everyone in the family as being virtuous and easy to get along with. As for my grandmother, you have seen that she is sensible and kind. "
He added, "Grandma likes you."
Qiu Yilan asked curiously: "Why?" She had only met Mrs. Tao once, right? I should follow Jiang Yashuang to complain!
Jiang Yashuang looked at her and smiled for a while, then said: "Grandma said you are good-looking. She likes to look at young and pretty girls."
"Isn't that what you said?" Qiu Yilan asked suspiciously - even if the elderly like to look at young and beautiful juniors, when choosing a grandson's wife, shouldn't they first consider family background, temperament, moral character, etc.? Especially since Mrs. Tao is not a biological grandmother, so she was chosen based on her beauty. Doesn’t this mean that she has nothing worthy of praise other than her beauty
"This is a fact." Jiang Yashuang, who probably had Yunyi's previous aphasia sentence above, was not embarrassed this time and said calmly, "Anyway, grandma likes you - this is a good thing, right? You saw it that day, grandma She is very protective of the people she likes.”
Qiu Yilan smiled half-heartedly and said, "I think the junior Mrs. Tao loves the most is you."
"I was raised by my grandmother and my eighth sister-in-law, and I still have to worry about them in my daily life." Jiang Yashuang did not deny it, "So my grandmother does care about me."
"That's really strange. Why does Miss Jiang Shiqi still dare to hit you?" Qiu Yilan asked provocatively with an innocent face, "It is said that you were taught by Qin Guogong himself! I saw in front of Mrs. Tao, Shiqi The lady is not as favored as you! Is she not afraid of making Duke Qin and Mrs. Tao angry when she treats you like that
Jiang Yashuang said casually: "She has such a temperament, and I never argue with my brothers and sisters..." At this point, she suddenly woke up and looked at her dumbfounded, "Do you still hate Sister Seventeen?"
"She's allowed to bully me, but she's not allowed to hold grudges?!" Qiu Yilan didn't blush when she was exposed, but showed a look of grievance, "I didn't provoke her, so she did that to me! If it were you, you would No grievances, no anger, no grudges?”
Before Jiang Yashuang could answer, she added, "Even if you don't feel wronged or angry or hold grudges, I'm not you! Do I have to do what you do? For example, if you practice martial arts and calligraphy every day, do I have to do the same? ? Anyway, I’m just petty and like to hold grudges, how about that?”
Jiang Yashuang looked at her angry look and smiled playfully. She didn't say anything about Jiang Qisheng, but said: "I really feel a headache for Miss Xue's family - Sister Shiqi just scolded you a few times in private. Although she wanted to take action, I stopped her. After returning home, your grandmother yelled at you several times in front of you, and the elders in the family also punished her afterwards. It has been some time, and you are still so vindictive... I don’t know if there is a chance in the future, you How will you treat Miss Xue?"
"Why do I feel that you don't have a headache, but feel distressed after hearing this?" Qiu Yilan played with a strand of hair hanging from her temples, and said teasing words, but her face looked ugly, "You feel so distressed. Go and marry her? Take care of her! Tell me what you mean!
Jiang Yashuang didn't expect her to fall out so quickly. She was stunned for a moment before explaining: "I was just joking."
"A joke? Huh!" Qiu Yilan didn't buy it at all, "I think you were determined to marry the prime minister's daughter, but you were afraid that I, a ruthless person, would embarrass her, so you tried to coax me in a nice way, lest you Your sweetheart is wronged, isn’t it?”
"Where have you been talking about? I have never seen Miss Xue's family!" Jiang Yashuang said in a confused voice, "Besides, you are so cruel and ruthless? You are just using some means to survive. This is also a human being. It’s common sense—you’re still far from being truly ruthless!”
Qiu Yilan sneered and said: "So what if I haven't seen her before? She is the daughter of the Prime Minister! Who am I, a princess with a vain title?! Even if my father is still alive, how can I be as powerful as I am now?" Mr. Xue has such a good father-in-law..."
"Am I living off my father-in-law?" Jiang Yashuang sighed, "Okay, stop making trouble. If I really miss Miss Xue, why should I come to see you?"
"Come to see me?! You are obviously afraid that I will hate Miss Xue because of my love..." Qiu Yilan started to make trouble unreasonably. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yashuang's eyes narrowed and she said seriously: "Do you admire me?"
Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment, cursing herself for being so confused by talking nonsense, and now it was self-defeating. She quickly denied it: "It's nothing! How could I admire you? I just meant that you suspected that I was not willing to let you regret the marriage... "
Her words were interrupted again: "Are you worried that I will regret my marriage?"
"How is that possible?! You can marry whoever you want. What does it have to do with me! I think you came here just for Miss Xue's family..."
"Are you very concerned about the rumors between me and Miss Xue?" Jiang Yashuang interrupted her for the third time. The teasing and meaningful smile at the corner of her eyes and eyebrows could no longer be concealed. Qiu Yilan thought for a moment, knowing that this The continuous misunderstandings caused by a momentary slip of the tongue are already difficult to explain. Ordinary people would most likely be too ashamed to speak at this time - but was she an ordinary person? !
So Princess Qiu's reaction was to beat the table angrily and shouted: "Anyway, I don't admire you! I'm not afraid of you regretting your marriage! And I don't care about that Miss Xue!!! Yes, this is true! Don't you believe it? You have to believe it too!”
Jiang Yashuang held back her laughter and opened her mouth to speak, but immediately received a warning glare from Qiu Yilan: "What do you want to say?!"
"I mean... um... don't worry. Last time I said I would regard you as Yongfu, but actually that was just before. I still..." Jiang Yashuang looked at her face with "I'll do it if you dare to say something that shouldn't be said." "I'll kill you", he chose his words very carefully, hoping not to irritate her - but with Qiu Yilan's IQ, she knew what he meant when she heard it: It turns out that last time you repeatedly asked me whether I proposed marriage out of responsibility or admiration for you, was it? Because you love me
"I told you that I don't admire you at all!!!" Seeing his expression of "I understand, don't worry, I won't let you down", Qiu Yilan, who was so angry that she couldn't hold it in anymore, was furious. He stood up and rushed towards him with his teeth bared, "You can't understand human language, can you?!"
