The process of meeting Ruan Ciyi was far from as warm and beautiful as Ling Zui described - the eldest cousin sent everyone away without exchanging a few words after meeting, took Qiu Yilan's hand, and taught her the ways of a charioteer... That's okay. The problem is that the central idea expounded by Ruan Ciyi is surprisingly consistent with Zhou's mother's statement: He who has heirs gets the backyard!
Not only did she persuade her, but she also prepared everything: some secret recipe to ensure a man, some items suitable for a child, some diet list for easy pregnancy... She even spread her face and personally reminded her of tips for getting pregnant...
Qiu Yilan vomited blood and changed the subject: "I've just passed the door, so there's no rush... From what I heard from my brother and brother Ling just now, it seemed that life after Qiu Feng Shangzhu was not going well?"
"He is used to wandering around the world, and he always fails to talk to Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu!" Ruan Ciyi gave the two sisters a silk fan to blow the wind, and said disapprovingly, "This summer vacation, he is not willing to talk to nobles on the way. They greeted each other, but originally the princess wanted to go with him first, but he found many excuses to refuse, and just left the princess in the capital and came here alone - I told your brother two days ago that he should be driven away, otherwise it would be just a waste of time. Princess Fu is so angry that she might even hate our family!"
At this point, he sighed, "It's a joke to say that I'm worried about being angered by the princess... But the princess is also very pitiful. After all, she never thought that Qiu Feng didn't want to love her at all, right?"
Although Jiang Qizheng is not a real golden girl, in terms of power, most of the emperor's daughters in this dynasty cannot compare to her. She is of noble birth, beautiful in appearance, and has a temperament that is not difficult to take care of... One can imagine how many suitors this princess has attracted under her phoenix-tailed skirt!
You must know that for Jiang Qizheng, there were two types of foreign men: one was in love with her but not qualified to pursue her; the other was in love with and qualified to pursue her, but she did not take a fancy to her. So when she first fell in love with Qiu Feng, she took it for granted that the only trouble between the two was that her elder would not agree!
If she failed to descend to the autumn wind, she would just remember this regret.
By coincidence, her wish came true!
But the marriage she tried her best to win was far less happy than she imagined... Qiu Yilan thought to herself that no wonder the last time she invited Jiang Qizheng back to Jiang's house to persuade Jiang Yadan, the eldest daughter-in-law came and went in a hurry because she was afraid that her parents would question her. In married life, if you say it's not good, it will be embarrassing in vain. If you say it's good, how can she say such things against her will with her pride? I can only hide from my mother's family.
"Then what are the two of them going to do now? They can't stay frozen like this, right?" Qiu Yilan said with a headache, "Are they going to respect each other forever?"
Ruan Ciyi said: "Well, one of these two people was born to be aloof, and the other was born in a rough place. How can we talk about going together for a while? But it's good that Qiufeng is not a messy person. Although he is somewhat avoiding the princess. , but I didn’t flirt with women..."
Therefore, "When you have children in the future, the estrangement will go away, and you will naturally be intimate and warm! So women must have children! Once they have children..."
"..." Qiu Yilan looked at the pillar not far away melancholy, and had the urge to bump into it...
Fortunately, she is already married now. She cannot spend the night outside casually without the permission of her husband's elders.
So when she stayed at Green Snow Villa until almost evening, Qiu Jinglan drove her back to the Jiang Family Courtyard: "You just arrived at Dizi Mountain today. I guess the whole family will have dinner together, right? Go back quickly, don't delay." The elders don’t like it!”
"I'll see my brother and sister again later!" Qiu Yilan said goodbye to them sweetly, but what she was thinking in her heart was: "I'll never come back again if nothing happens!" It's so pitiful that Ruan Ciyi can turn any topic to his children now. —Although he knew she had good intentions, Qiu Yilan couldn't help but feel creeped out by her talking about her!
She hurried back to the other courtyard, and happened to bump into He Shuijin at the door who was about to go out. When he saw her, he stopped and asked, "Are you going out? I was about to send someone to find you!"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yilan asked in surprise.
"We have to have dinner together at home in the evening. If you don't come back, how will you have time to wash up and change clothes?" He Shuijin said, "Okay, go back to your yard and clean up -"
Qiu Yilan responded and thanked her. After taking two steps, he looked back and saw that she was still walking out. She was surprised and said, "Am I back?"
He Shuijin hadn't gone far yet. Hearing this, he turned around and smiled at her: "Grandma said she hasn't seen Chunxiao in a few days, so she asked me to invite her over to sit with her."
"That's it. Sister-in-law, go ahead and don't be delayed by me." Qiu Yilan said goodbye to her on the face, but secretly thought: "In the past two years, County Master Duanrou has not visited the Jiang family very often. It is said that... Because the Prince of Qiyang is not in good health, the county master has to wait at his side... Now He Shuijin is suddenly asked to invite her over, maybe there is something wrong? "
Lord Duanrou is the same age as her, and when girls of this age are suddenly invited, it's probably related to marriage.
"The county master is the same generation as the Jiang family's great-grandsons. Two of the Jiang family's great-grandsons have reached the age of marriage. Is it for this?" Qiu Yilan thought for a moment, "But at the beginning, the mother of the county master Duanrou, The reason why Miss Jiang San married the Prince of Qiyang County was because she was tricked by the Dou family. The two people who are suitable to marry the county lord are both Dou family's grandsons. The Princess of Qiyang County will feel free to let her daughter be the grandson of this aunt. Daughter-in-law?”
"And it was Mrs. Tao who sent He Shuijin to invite... Mrs. Tao has never liked big houses. Maybe it's something else?"
She didn't have much contact with the Duanrou County Lord, so she couldn't figure out other things - thinking about this all the way, when she arrived at her yard, Jiang Yashuang, wearing an azure Yueluo robe, came out from under the grape trellis: " Are you going to see your brother? "Is your brother okay?"
"He is very good." Qiu Yilan said in surprise, "You didn't go to the Seventh Prince? Is there a banquet in the palace tonight?"
"It's just a family banquet. I just arrived today. I'm tired from all the way up and down. The official palace banquet won't be held until tomorrow, so the Seventh Prince also gave me leave." Jiang Yashuang muttered, "I just heard that you were there. I wanted to go to my brother's place, but Bicheng came and I just sent him away."
Qiu Yilan heard this and asked, "What is he doing here?"
"I heard from Ah Xing that Cousin Xin looked very bad. I was worried and didn't dare to ask, so she came to ask me quietly - how did I know? I haven't seen Cousin Xin in a while." Jiang Yashuang sighed. , "I don't know if Cousin Xin will come out during the dinner later. If she does, could you please take care of him?"
Qiu Yilan frowned and said: "He is really interesting. Knowing that Cousin Xin is not well now, what can he do? Marry Cousin Xin? Not necessarily? In this case, it is better not to ask, lest Cousin Xin has given up. When I found out, there was another wave of confusion.”
Jiang Yashuang sighed again: "That's it, although he has no admiration for cousin Xin, he is still a childhood sweetheart, and he always hopes that she can live well."
"I'll make more trips to Cousin Xin later." Qiu Yilan said listlessly, "We also have a family dinner at home tonight... I'll go take a shower and change clothes!"
This day was really eventful - at the family dinner in the evening, although Xin Fubing looked pale and dull, she still attended with Mrs. Ou. Many people in the Jiang family already knew why she looked like this, so they tacitly understood it. Go and mention it. The problem is that Jiang Yalan doesn't know - he was deliberately concealed by Mi and Mi Yinyin.
So after drinking for three rounds, the elders started talking and the juniors became active, he turned to Mi Yinyin and said: "Is Cousin Xin sick? Why does she look so weak? Go over and ask, if you can't hold on, Anyway, it’s just a family dinner, no need to force it.”
To be honest, although he had a crush on Xin Fubing before, these words of concern are not too much - after all, they are cousins, Xin Fubing's parents are not in Beijing yet, Jiang Yalan's words of concern for his cousin are reasonable. Especially when he asked Mi Yinyin to come forward.
For Jiang Yalan, this concern is aboveboard.
But Mi Yinyin didn't think so, so she held back her tears and agreed to Jiang Yalan, walked to Xin Fubing, and what she said became: "Your thirteenth brother said that you look sick, but today There’s nothing urgent at the table, so why don’t you go back and rest early, so as not to worry your elders if you lose your energy and lose your composure!”
One can imagine how Xin Fubing, who had just been hit by Oubicheng's refusal to marry and was forced by her family to marry the seventh prince she didn't like at all, felt after hearing this!
With a livid face, she slammed the wine cup on the table - even Mrs. Ou, who was turning her head to listen to Mrs. Tao's words, was startled. She turned around in surprise and asked: "What's wrong?!"
Xin Fu, who had always known etiquette, said coldly: "Grandma, I'm not feeling well. I'm going back first!" After saying that, he stood up and left, ignoring Mi Yinyin's hypocritical plea to stay!
"This child..." Mrs. Ou has a strong personality and has always been strict with the younger generation. However, the successive blows Xin Fubing received these days also made the old lady feel pity for her, so she did not care about her rudeness and just sighed. Mrs. Tao said, "I don't want her to feel so unhappy after so many days..."
Seeing that Mrs. Ou thought that Xin Fubing had a sudden attack because of her past grudges, Mi Yinyin did not doubt herself. She felt proud and quietly retreated - but she thought that her attempt to sow discord was done in a covert manner, but she did not know that the whole process was It can be clearly seen by the Shengpaishui and Qiu Yilan not far away.
"The two of us were just joking about Sister-in-law Fourteen, saying that an occasion like this today cannot be separated from her hosting. While everyone is eating, drinking and having fun, she is still as busy as a spinning top. How can we be free and at ease?" Sheng Shishui met Mi Yinyin. He had returned to his seat and was saying something to Jiang Yalan with an aggrieved look on his face. You don't have to listen to these words. Both of your sisters-in-law could guess it. They were just describing Xin Fubing's angrily leaving the table as dissatisfaction with Jiang Yalan. He picked up the fan on the table, half-hiding his face, and said softly to Qiu Yilan, "I don't want to see such a good show."
"Cousin Xin has been hit hard these days." Qiu Yilan drank the mint drink in her glass in one gulp and whispered, "Sister-in-law, please be patient here. I'll catch up and take a look to avoid anything happening." !”
Sheng Shishui nodded: "Go quickly! I see that she has always been high-spirited, but now that she is so angry, she may really be narrow-minded."
Qiu Yilan turned around and told Jiang Yashuang, then lifted up her skirt, quietly retreated from the crowd to the door, and chased Xin Fuling in the direction where she left!
Unexpectedly, she chased him into the garden, but before she could find Xin Fubing, she first heard Jiang Qizheng's voice crying from behind a rockery not far away: "... He's not the one who's waiting to stalk me. I'll go back later." Tell the elders that we can make peace!"
Qiu Yilan almost staggered!
