Hearing this, Mrs. Zhuang looked at her daughter-in-law in confusion: "What's going on?" Because she knew that Jiang Yashuang was a serious person and loved his wife very much, Mrs. Zhuang didn't think that her youngest son would be the one who wanted to be prostituted, so she thought, "Mother Chang, did you hear me clearly? They are looking for a nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law, not the eighth daughter-in-law?"
The grandchildren have just shown their uncle's filial piety, and a woman who is not suspected of being a good family comes to visit - could it be that Jiang Yadan's old illness has relapsed
Mrs. Zhuang was still thinking, but she saw Qiu Yilan stood up and reported with embarrassment after being stunned: "Those two people... maybe they are really here to find a wife, but they have nothing to do with our family, I'm afraid they are... "
This matter is not a secret. If Mrs. Zhuang is interested, she will find out sooner or later, so she hesitated and said directly, "Maybe you have some relationship with the wife's brother?"
"The romantic debts Qiu Jinglan incurred in the past?" Mrs. Zhuang was startled and showed a little displeasure. "We are going to get married in four months. Why haven't these people been dismissed yet?" This is not because Mrs. Zhuang is ashes. It’s just a first-class match, but it’s a common practice.
In a well-matched family, in order to show respect for the woman, all the peach blossom debts incurred before getting married will often be settled before marriage - of course, bringing in someone else after marriage, or bringing back someone from the past, is another matter.
The key is to develop this attitude.
Now that Mrs. Zhuang heard that the brothel girl looking for Qiu Jinglan actually found Qiu Yilan, she naturally thought that Qiu Jinglan did not follow the usual rules, which obviously ruined the Ou family's face. The fourth room has had a relationship with the Ou family for several generations. The Ou Bicheng brother and sister were watched by Jiang Tianchi and his wife as they grew up and loved them as their own children. How could Mrs. Zhuang not feel sorry for Ou Qinglan
Her expression turned ugly at that moment, "Isn't Qiu Jinglan looking down on Ah Xing?" No wonder she would think so. Ou Qinglan's previous behavior of actively pursuing her husband was indeed shocking at this time. People who are more pedantic would not accept it, if not Terrified by the power of the Ou family, I wish I could tell her to go to Shentan!
Qiu Yilan said awkwardly: "Mother, you have misunderstood. If my brother is such a person, how could he have been engaged in marriage before?"
"Then why are there still such unscrupulous people looking for him now?" Mrs. Zhuang sneered, "If they can't find Shazhou, they come here to find you. With their status, they dare to find people like us. Are you familiar with these two people?"
Chang's mother was really unhappy when she saw Mrs. Zhuang, so she hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Madam, General Qiu has been in Shazhou and hasn't come back for a year or two. I'm afraid he has forgotten these people a long time ago? But these people heard about General Qiu's wedding date. It’s close, but I’m still wishful thinking.”
Mrs. Zhuang thought the same thing. If Qiu Jinglan really promised these people something, why would these people come to Qiu Yilan? Then he softened his expression and said: "Then just send someone to explain it to them! They know how to go through the back door to ask for an audience. Don't they know that because of their status, they are not qualified to ask the nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law to go see them?"
After she said this, Qiu Yilan had no choice but to obey her orders. In fact, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "Hua Shenshen and Penglai Yue... were quite affectionate towards their brother before... Ever since his brother went to Shazhou, they have never stopped trusting each other." Send something...now..."
She shook her head. She didn't have Qiu Jinglan's ability. She could step on several boats at once, not only to ensure that they would not capsize, but also to make the boats rush to please him... Even if Mrs. Zhuang didn't stop her from seeing people, she still couldn't handle this matter well. Simply not seeing him would save him a headache.
As a result, Princess Yishu came to visit the next day - of course there was no one to stop her, and she was invited directly to Qiu Yilan's courtyard.
"Something happened?" Qiu Yilan hadn't seen her for several months. When she saw her, she naturally thought that Qiu Nie and Mei Xue were in trouble.
But Zhuo Qian shook his head: "I was entrusted by someone to come here with some words - you know Penglai Yue, right?"
"Yesterday, my mother stopped me and didn't ask me to see you. Who expected them to come to you?" Qiu Yilan smiled bitterly when she heard this.
"This is the oiran of the 'Jinpa Pavilion', what a big deal!" Zhuqian was in a good mood, covered his lips with a smile, and said sweetly, "One thousand taels of gold, just a trip to talk to me, I didn't even think about it. Next, you won’t blame me, right?”
Qiu Yilan muttered: "I want to share half..."
"No!" Swing said simply, "I can give you a beating and a scolding! Promise not to fight back or retaliate!"
"..." Qiu Yilan was speechless, "Forget it, tell me what she said!"
When I said this, I felt my head started to hurt - Sure enough, Zhuo Qian said: "Her words were very long. I can't remember them and I'm too lazy to remember them. Sister Mei summed it up for me. She probably just asked you, for the sake of past friendship, Qiu Qiu." After Jinglan gets married, can she and Hua Shen be given a place in the backyard without their status? I can bring a generous dowry and be willing to serve Qiu Jinglan and his wife as slaves... Anyway, I can say anything to them if they are willing to come in!"
At this point, Shuiqi tutted in admiration, "When it comes to making girls happy, your brother is really too strong on my brother! My brother is still not very good at making Sister Mei happy! Your brother can actually make a girl who is used to seeing Fengyue The oiran is so coaxed!"
"You've had enough of your sarcastic remarks, just calm down!" Qiu Yilan said with a dark face, "Go and tell her that only my brother can decide what happens in the backyard. I can't say anything." She turned around again. Instructed Su He, "Bring me one thousand taels of gold tickets!"
"I'll pay for the reward Penglai Yue gave you. Give her her share. If she asks you for anything in the future, don't agree." Qiu Yilan rubbed her forehead and exhaled, "It's really terrible, Ximan's side There may be a fight this year, and my brother and Xing are not sure whether they can get married on time! The oiran is already thinking about getting married... It's really a filial piety."
Swing took the golden ticket and looked at it a few times: "If I don't return it, I will have two thousand taels!"
"That's enough for you!" Qiu Yilan warned, "After all, you are also an official princess, so you can do this kind of thing like eating from the master's family and the west's family?"
"You also said that you treat me as your biological sister, are you going to fall out over a thousand taels of gold?" Swing rolled her eyes, put the gold ticket away, stood up and left, "Okay! Once the matter is over, I'll go back. Spread the word! Maybe I can catch up with Hua Shen, who is also waiting for me! Speaking of which, it would be nice if your brother provokes a few more wealthy and stupid bosses. One of them can ask me to come over. Eight thousand gold!”
Qiu Yilan hummed: "If you leave the court, I will give you half of my dowry - you can calculate the amount yourself! Eight thousand, you look like a princess!"
"Seriously?!" Swing's eyes lit up!
"It's time to cook!" Qiu Yilan waved her hand, "I have to congratulate Xue Nongqing and Zhuang Man this month. Zhuang Man will leave the cabinet in the middle of the month - he will probably be free next month, and I will personally select the county horse for you. You From now on, you can think about who you want to marry!"
Zhu Qian vowed: "You really share half of my dowry, and you have the final say on my marriage! You asked me to marry a beggar on the roadside without any hesitation!"
"Stop being so glib!" Qiu Yilan felt better after being pestered like this, and scolded with a smile, "Go back and ask Mei Xue! She thinks about things more carefully than you!"
After seeing off the swing, Qiu Yilan was leading people to check the gifts that would go to Xue's house tomorrow, when Shen Shui came in and said, "Young Madam, the Eighth Young Madam is happy!"
"Oh?" Qiu Yilan was shocked when he heard this, "How many months?"
"Two months." Shen Shui also knew why she was not happy. The Marquis of Jibei's filial piety was born two days ago, and being pregnant for two months meant that Jiang Yadan and his wife were unruly during their filial piety. In fact, this kind of filial piety As long as it is not known to everyone about having sex on a regular basis, everyone will just turn a blind eye. After all, these days, filial piety starts from three months, and the decline lasts for three years, and the actual filial piety lasts for twenty-five months. Those who are older and unmarried are better off. How can a couple in their prime not cheat on each other? of
But if you create a child, it will be a cause of trouble for everyone to know...
In particular, the relationship between the Marquis of Jibei and the Fourth Fang is very different. As the eldest son of the Fourth Fang, Jiang Yadan is also the eldest son who was ennobled by Jiang Tianchi the day after, but he didn't even keep his uncle's filial piety. This is really... What do people think of the fourth room if it is spread out
"What teammates are like pigs! The points earned by my father-in-law and Nineteen are not enough for him to ruin the fortune by himself!" Qiu Yilan cursed Jiang Yadan in her heart, and asked: "Two months... Why are you announcing it now? !”
Although Jiang Yadan was a bastard, Chu Yitong was no fool. Wouldn’t it make me feel unhappy to leak the matter at this critical moment? Anyway, we still haven’t gotten pregnant in two months, so we’ll wait and see again in two months. There is a saying that there was an unexpected premature birth or something during the birth, which can be exposed on the scene. I believe that even if Qin Guogong is not happy, he cannot force his grandson's daughter-in-law to have an abortion, right
"Originally I planned to say it out some time later and keep the month vague - but when Mrs. Eighth Young Master was walking down the steps, she tripped because her skirt was too long and fell badly. It is said that she saw red, so... "
Qiu Yilan took a deep breath: "I understand... Mama Qu, Mama Zhou, take a look here, I'll go see the eighth sister-in-law!"
When she rushed to Jiang Yadan and Chu Yitong's yard, Mrs. Zhuang was already there, sitting by the couch with a frown on her face.
On the couch, Chu Yitong looked pale, with a handkerchief tied on her forehead, her eyes slightly closed, and she didn't look too good. She must have just taken medicine. There was a smell of anti-fetal medicine in the room. Qiu Yilan had taken this medicine before and could smell it immediately.
Seeing her come in, Mrs. Zhuang stood up and said, "You stay here with your eighth sister-in-law, and I'll report it to your grandmother!"
Qiu Yilan responded, hearing Mrs. Zhuang's tone that she wanted to keep Chu Yitong's pregnancy, so after a while, when she saw Chu Yitong's long eyelashes twitching slightly and shedding tears, she advised: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Mom is here, you will be fine!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Yitong opened his eyes, his beautiful face trembled slightly, and whispered: "I... my stomach hurts! It hurts!"
"!!!" Qiu Yilan hurriedly went out to call someone - but she didn't know whether it was because Chu Yitong was weak or because she had fallen too hard before. In short, although the doctor came quickly, he didn't wait until Mrs. Zhuang left the old lady's yard. Back home, Chu Yitong’s fetus could no longer be saved!
"Nineteen brothers and sisters!" After the doctor announced that miscarriage was a foregone conclusion, Chu Yitong's face drained of color in an instant, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Qiu Yilan, who frowned and looked at him worriedly, "I beg you -I heard that the medicine passed down from your mother's family can bring the dead back to life, can it definitely save my child? Please give me one, and I will give you everything in exchange, okay? !”
Looking at the hysterical Chu Yitong, Qiu Yilan was stunned and then was speechless: "Sister-in-law, please calm down! Listen to me - that medicine is only for hanging one's life and has nothing to do with bringing back the dead! And I really don't have it in my hand, otherwise When my uncle was not good, could you not take it out? "
"No! You lied to me!!! You lied to me! You said what you want, I will trade with you, trade with you, trade with you -" Chu Yitong may have been too excited and refused to believe it, as if going crazy. The young lady's well-maintained nails penetrated the silk clothes and penetrated deeply into Qiu Yilan's skin, screaming, "Help me! Help my child!"
The frightened mothers in the room quickly went up and held her down with all their hands: "Mrs. Eighth, please calm down!"
I was about to have a miscarriage, but if I kept going through it like this, I might even lose my life!
… By the time Mrs. Zhuang was invited over from the old lady, Chu Yitong had already had a miscarriage and the house had been tidied up. Qiu Yilan was standing at the door of the inner room, her sleeves stained with blood, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Mother Chang, who went to invite Mrs. Zhuang back, whispered: "That was caught by Mrs. Eighth during her miscarriage!"
"... Your eighth sister-in-law's first time having a child has ended up like this. No wonder she reacted so violently." Mrs. Zhuang frowned, stopped in front of Qiu Yilan, and said gently, "Don't argue with her... first. Go back and apply medicine, I’ll be here!”
Qiu Yilan said softly: "My daughter-in-law does not have the medicine that the eighth sister-in-law mentioned, and she is asking her mother to explain it to her to prevent the eighth sister-in-law from misunderstanding her!"
"I understand, go ahead!" Mrs. Zhuang said this, but knowing that Chu Yitong was young, even though she knew it was not Qiu Yilan who refused to give her the medicine, she accidentally lost her pregnancy because she couldn't bear it. She would also instinctively vent her anger on Qiu Yilan to gain psychological balance—Mrs. Zhuang only had two daughters-in-law, so of course she hoped for harmony between her sisters-in-law. But now that something like this happened out of nowhere, this gap will have to be made up in the future...
