Little Tao smiled bitterly and said: "It's a bit unfair to Qiu Daxia - but although the eighteenth sister hasn't spoken to her grandmother yet, all the people recommended to her these days have been rejected and not mentioned, and privately she has been entrusted with My sister is asking about Daxia Qiu... So what my grandmother means is that Daxia Qiu is old enough to start a family. "
Qiu Yilan frowned and said, "I really can't help with this. I'm not very familiar with Qiu Daxia and I'm younger than him. How can I interfere with his life-long affairs?"
"I heard that your brother has a close relationship with Qiu Daxia." Since little Tao was ordered to come to her for help, he was naturally prepared. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Because of your love for you, you should tell him about this matter." , how could he not help you?"
These words made Qiu Yilan slightly unhappy: "You really summoned our brother and sister?"
He said calmly: "This is hard to say. After all, Daxia Qiu is a close friend of my brother, not a servant of my family. What's more, he had good intentions when he rescued Princess Chunfu, but now he is forcing him to marry because of it... He doesn't have a sweetheart. , I will marry anyone for Her Royal Highness, what if I meet someone I like in the future? "
Little Mrs. Tao noticed her displeasure, her expression froze slightly, and after thinking for a while she said: "There is no way... Sister Shiba seems to be easy to talk to, but she can't be persuaded when she is really stubborn. But the relationship between her and Qiu Daxia The difference is really..."
Qiu Yilan said lightly: "I think Qiu Daxia must be very aware of this, otherwise why would he insist on putting the credit for rescuing the princess on our brothers and sisters? It's not his fault that he saved the princess, right?"
The prospective sister-in-law talked for a long time but couldn't reach an agreement. Little Mrs. Tao has always been a good-natured person. Although she sighed and worried about Mrs. Tao in her heart, she didn't say anything harsh to her.
After going to Mrs. Tao's side to see Qiu Feng - just looking at Qiu Feng's ugly face when she said goodbye, and not even saying hello to Qiu Yilan, she knew that their conversation was not going well - so after Qiu Yilan also left, Xiao Tao Shi helped Mrs. Tao get into the carriage and said worriedly: "Both of them don't agree... but what should we do?"
"Do you really think this matter can bother me?" Mrs. Tao immediately calmed down her worried look after getting in the car, patted the back of her hand, and said calmly, "The child of the Jiang family I care about the most is still Nineteen. That is what we two will rely on in the future - as for Shiba, since the Jiang family is so prominent, who would dare to treat her badly when she marries? "
Little Mrs. Tao was surprised: "But where are the parents?"
"Write a letter, tell them what happened, and let them make the decision." Mrs. Tao said disapprovingly, "It's not that I want to treat their daughter badly. Shi Shi has fallen in love with Qiu Feng. I see that although the child's background is not very good, But her character is excellent. If Shiba was my granddaughter, I wouldn’t care if she married such a person!”
Little Mrs. Tao was a little worried: "What if my father and mother don't agree and my eighteenth sister makes trouble again..."
"Don't worry, if they don't agree and Shiba starts to make trouble, I will send her to Northern Xinjiang to talk to her parents!" Mrs. Tao said calmly, "If this works, if it doesn't work, both of them will stop it. If you can’t stop, why should you blame me?”
Listening to the old lady's firm words, little Mrs. Tao felt sad in her heart, thinking to herself: "If this is his biological child, why bother so much? Grandma also has the Queen and the Princess, but I am..."
While she was slightly lost in thought, Qiu Yilan was chasing Qiu Feng into Ruan's house, asking repeatedly: "Mrs. Tao, did she threaten you? Or did she scare you? Don't say anything! What's wrong?"
Qiu Jinglan drove him away halfway: "Stop messing around, let your eldest cousin go... I'll tell him!"
"... He even cheated you! I haven't cheated you yet! I almost got cheated by you! You actually followed him... Be careful of being sold again!" Qiu Yilan was really dragged away by Qiu Jinglan when she saw Qiu Feng. He put his hands on his hips and muttered a few words before walking away angrily.
By night, Qiu Jinglan had probably tricked Qiu Feng into being pretty good. Qiu Yilan snatched the tea brought by the maid and pretended to go to the study room to greet her. When Qiu Jinglan saw her coming, she half-smiled but said, "Mrs. Tao just tricked Qiu Feng." I'm going to tell him a story... What did Mr. Tao tell you?"
"I also hope that Qiu Feng will get married as soon as possible so that Princess Chunfu can give up her heart." Qiu Yilan's purpose was seen through, so she went straight to the point, "I didn't agree."
Qiu Jinglan scolded: "You should agree and just pass the responsibility to me later - although people say that little Mrs. Tao has a good temperament, but who knows whether it is true or not? She is the eldest sister-in-law of the fourth room, why should you offend her! "
"She gave me an idea and asked me to ask you to do this!" Qiu Yilan said disapprovingly, "According to her, Mrs. Tao herself did not object to Princess Chunfu descending to Qiufeng, but it was because she was not her biological grandmother. , she was afraid that her stepson and daughter-in-law would blame her for mistreating her granddaughter, so she thought about breaking up Princess Chunfu! You said something that even Mrs. Tao didn't dare to do, why should I go into this troubled situation from the beginning? Don’t agree!”
Qiu Jinglan sighed: "Let's put it off for a while. Fortunately, the Jiangya Shuangqiu test has been completed, and we will be back soon after calculating the distance. When he comes back, please ask him to change things. It is difficult for Qiu Feng to leave Beijing for the time being. , but I don’t want to follow Mrs. Tao’s words.”
"Speaking of it, Qiu Feng really doesn't mean to be the master?" Qiu Yilan asked curiously, "Princess Chunfu is beautiful and has a good temper, but she can't find a good marriage even with a lantern!"
Qiu Jinglan sneered: "Do you think Qiu Feng wants to get married? If it weren't for saving people, he would have gone as far as he could when he saw a pampered master like Princess Chunfu!"
"That's not necessarily the case. The pampered apple and the silly boy from the gang are often officially married, okay?" Qiu Yilan muttered in her heart, but didn't say it out loud. She only said, "I heard that Princess Chunfu hasn't spoken yet. I think so. Things can still be delayed.”
Qiu Jinglan thought so too, so she stopped caring about this matter and started talking to her about other topics...
It's just that neither brother nor sister expected that Jiang Qizheng didn't say anything about her return, but in her heart she almost wanted to fall in love with Qiu Feng - so she rejected batch after batch of the candidates listed for her as the consort by Queen Jiang and Mrs. Tao. -Then the news spread, and others said, "His Highness naturally has high tastes." Ou Qinglan became very anxious when she found out: "She doesn't want this, and she doesn't want that. Could it be that she also likes Ruan Qingyan?!"
The confidant maid hesitated and said: "The news I heard is that the Jiang family wanted to marry Miss Fifteen to Mr. Ruan earlier, but it failed later, but many people in the Jiang family knew about it. Now that Miss Fifteen has become Princess Qi, why? Will Princess Chunfu continue to descend on Mr. Ruan?”
"How could a fool not rob Mr. Ruan, a good person like Mr. Ruan!" Ou Qinglan said worriedly, "Jiang Qiyun is just a fool - but Chunfu is not stupid, otherwise there are only so many people in Beijing who are qualified to respect her. Almost all of them these days After being picked on by her, if I hadn’t been worried about Mr. Ruan’s lack of filial piety, I would have gone to my aunt to act coquettishly!”
The maid was also worried for her: "If she goes to talk to Mrs. Qin Guogong, Mrs. Qin Guogong will definitely agree! At that time, it will mean that the queen has agreed. What about you, young lady?!"
"Can't do this!" Ou Qinglan stood up abruptly, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Although Chunfu has a good relationship with me, don't think that I will give up Mr. Ruan to her... I have to find a way to stop her from robbing me! "
Ou Qinglan was a fiery woman. She kept her promise and ran away to the Jiang Family Courtyard!
In terms of friendship, Ou Qinglan's friendship with Jiang Qizheng is not as good as that with Shuijin. Unfortunately, she came at just the right time - Jiang Qizheng was full of worries and needed someone to listen to her. However, she was newly married to Shui Jin and was tired of being with her husband all day long. How could he have time to take care of her
So Ou Qinglan came to Jiang's house and pestered Jiang Qizheng for two days before she found out that she really had a sweetheart, and that this sweetheart didn't seem to be easy to talk about.
"That must be Mr. Ruan!" Ou Qinglan felt that the maid was right, "Mr. Ruan almost became the fiancé of the fifteenth young lady of the Jiang family during the period of mourning. Of course Princess Chunfu would feel embarrassed to say it!"
"She is embarrassed to say it publicly. When Mr. Ruan becomes a filial piety, or is about to do so, she will quietly go to her aunt to talk to her. Considering how much her aunt loves her, can she agree?" Ou Qinglan felt that if she fought for the backstage, There was no way he could compete with the Queen's niece, so he gritted his teeth secretly, "How should I make her give up her mind?"
She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't expect that she would drag Jiang Qizheng into a showdown at night: "I have made up my mind that I will not marry anyone other than Ruan Qingyan! What do you think, Chunfu?"
Jiang Qizheng was stunned: "Ruan Qingyan?!"
"That's right!" Ou Qinglan was able to pester her cousin for help, so she certainly didn't lack the courage to tell her "love rival" face to face. She said sternly, "I know you also admire him, but..."
"Wait! Who said it was him I admired?!" Jiang Qizheng was shocked! She has nothing to do with Qiu Jinglan at all, okay? And that one is her brother-in-law-to-be, and a family like the Jiang family would not do a marriage exchange!
Ou Qinglan said blankly: "It's not him you admire...who is that?"
When Jiang Qizheng hesitated to answer, she rolled her eyes and said, "I've told you my secret, but you didn't tell me. You're really going too far!"
Jiang Qizheng couldn't help her pestering her, and was also curious about how Ou Qinglan fell in love with Qiu Jinglan, so she half-shyly and half-timidly told the story of her acquaintance with Qiu Feng: "... I just heard Qiu Yilan say that he came from a rough background, and the elders must not I will agree!”
"What does this have to do with anything?" Ou Qinglan became very energetic after hearing this, and gave experienced guidance, "Go and tell your grandmother first. If she doesn't agree, don't cry or make trouble. She just won't eat or drink. With your grandmother's pain, I promise you won’t use it for a day, and she will agree to anything immediately! Even if she can’t agree, she will give you some advice!”
Jiang Qizheng, like Jiang Yashuang, is used to being a good child and has never been rebellious. She hesitated after hearing this: "Is this... too shameless?"
"You have to cheat when you should cheat!" Although Jiang Qizheng made it clear that she was not her love rival, Ou Qinglan still felt that it would be better for such a strong competitor to marry as early as possible - in case the Jiang family really didn't let her marry Qiu Feng, they would She has her sights set on Ruan Qingyan, right
So she encouraged without any moral integrity, "You have to think clearly, Qiu Feng, who is not from a high background, will never dare to take the initiative to ask for your favor! If you don't use some extraordinary means, you will miss it in this life! Are you willing?" "
He added, "Besides, the Jiang family doesn't want you to marry anyone now. I remember your grandmother also said that as long as you like your life-long event... It's rare to meet someone you like now. Are you sure you'll just forget about it?"
Jiang Qizheng was originally in love with Qiu Feng and could not see other men. After being instigated by her like this, she was immediately moved!
So next, the Chunfu Princess, who was known for her gentleness and quietness, started a hunger strike. Mrs. Tao didn't know what Ou Qinglan had done. She only said that girls are outgoing, and they are very sensible when they are raised like this, but when she saw a foreign boy, she I became rebellious, disappointed and sad, but I couldn't ignore it.
While coaxing her to eat, he came up with the excuse he had prepared a long time ago: "If this is a good match, I will directly make the decision as you wish! But now the gap is so big, I don't dare to delay without asking your parents. For the rest of your life... let’s see what your parents say when I write a letter to Beijiang!”
