Jiang Zhu agreed, and Jiang Qinglan smiled and said, "You still know what I'm thinking."
While the two were talking, they heard a laugh coming from outside the door, "It seems that I came at a bad time. Are there any guests here, cousin?"
Xie Ruzhuo frowned and saw Ji Qing walking in with a smile on her face.
The jewelry box on the table had not been closed yet. As soon as Ji Qing entered the door, she saw the set of jewelry first. The red sandalwood box is inlaid with round pearls, and the inside is covered with golden satin. What’s even more eye-catching is the set of sparkling jewelry! Ji Qing has never seen such beautiful accessories in her entire life!
Ji Qing swallowed her saliva and forced herself to turn her eyes back to Xie Ruzhuo, but she continued to look at the set of jewelry uncontrollably.
Xie Ruzhuo obviously noticed her gaze, and immediately closed the jewelry box again and said, "Why are you here?" She really didn't like Ji Qing. When she came this time, she didn't know what else she heard. Woolen cloth. Even though Ji Qing has only been here for a short time, he still has a lot of things to take away from the camp. Not to mention other things, Ji Qing had already coaxed many of the small ornaments from Qiao's house away.
"Cousin, I'm too bored in the house. Do you want to come out and walk around?" After saying that, she looked at the beautiful woman next to Xie Ruzhuo and asked, "Who is this?"
Although this woman's clothes are not outstanding, every one of them is from the Zhenlong Pavilion in the capital. Ji Qing has been walking around the capital in the past few days and has already become familiar with all the shops, large and small. When she looks at Jiang Qinglan, she knows that the woman in front of her has an unusual family background.
Although Xie Ruzhuo was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He said calmly, "This is my friend, Miss Jiang Qinglan Jiang."
"Zhuo'er, is this your cousin?" Jiang Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Does the Qiao family have other daughters besides Qiao Ziyun?" This kind of thing is not uncommon among wealthy families. Could it be a man from the Qiao family? Are you raising a child born in a side room outside
As soon as her words came out of her mouth, Xie Ruzhuo knew that she was thinking wrongly. He suppressed a smile and said, "This is the granddaughter of grandma's brother's family. She is also a cousin."
"I see." Jiang Qinglan nodded and continued to eat the tea in her hand.
Ji Qing did not regard herself as an outsider. She sat down and smiled at Jiang Qinglan, "My name is Ji Qing. Hello, sister Jiang."
The other party had already said hello, and it was not good if she didn't answer. Jiang Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "Sister Ji, you are polite." However, the smell of powder on Ji Qing's body was too strong, which made her want to change her face.
Xie Ruzhuo obviously noticed this, and immediately said with a smile, "Qinglan, you have already given me this gift. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate if you don't go and see my eldest sister. Why don't we go there now?"
Jiang Qinglan naturally wanted it, and immediately nodded in agreement. But who knows, Ji Qing has no self-awareness. Seeing that the two of them are leaving, she immediately puts down the snacks in her hands and follows the pace of the two of them.
As soon as he went out, the wind blew away most of the makeup and powder on Ji Qing's body. Jiang Qinglan exhaled and saw that the tail behind her could not be shaken off. She looked at Xie Ruzhuo with some sympathy in her eyes.
This woman is difficult to get along with at first glance. Now that she is living in Xie Ruzhuo's house, I am afraid that her best friend will suffer the most.
Xie Ruzhuo sighed slightly, gave Jiang Qinglan a look that you all know, and then started talking about something else.
After arriving at Xie Ruyun's residence, Ji Qing watched with her own eyes the set of valuable jewelry being delivered to the hands of a concubine, and immediately clenched the handkerchief tightly with jealousy. She just said that the Xie family is highly respected, and now even a concubine is being promoted like this, but the Xie family is not even willing to arrange a vacancy in the household department for her brother. It is really looking down on people!
However, this Jiang Qinglan gives such expensive gifts casually, which shows that her family background is not ordinary.
"I wonder if Sister Jiang's family is engaged in business or politics?" Ji Qing asked casually with an innocent smile on her face.
Jiang Qinglan's identity was known to everyone in the capital, so she didn't think too deeply about it. She just chuckled and said, "My father has just assumed the post of Grand Marshal of the Army, but there is also some small business in the family, so I don't know what to think about my sister's words." Answered."
Hearing this, Ji Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter. There was always only one military marshal in the court. She thought that the woman in front of her had an unusual status, but she didn't expect that she was so powerful!
Before leaving, Jiang Qinglan remembered something again and said with a smile, "Yes, while the lotus has not withered yet, let's go to the lake together in two days. Remember to call your sister then."
Before Xie Ruzhuo could answer, Ji Qing's eyes suddenly brightened and she said, "Can you take me with you, Sister Jiang? I really want to go." After saying that, she said with some sadness, "Since I came to the capital, I I haven’t seen lotus flowers yet. At this time in my hometown, I’m afraid the sky is already full of lotus leaves. I miss it so much just thinking about it.”
Knowing that she was a relative of the Ji family, Jiang Qinglan didn't feel sorry for her, so she said, "If my sister doesn't mind, then let's go together. Just remember to wear something light and don't be afraid of getting tanned." "
After hearing this, Ji Qing immediately responded loudly, "Thank you, Sister Jiang."
Xie Ruzhuo felt a little unhappy. It could be seen that his friends had already agreed and were unwilling to reject it anymore, so he found an excuse to send Ji Qing away and sent Jiang Qinglan out.
After Ji Qing returned, she conspired with her mother Xu for a long time. After the two discussed, they decided to let Jiang Qinglan marry into the Ji family no matter what! Once Jiang Qinglan has the help, Ji Yanzhang's future will surely be prosperous.
Although Xie Ruzhuo didn't know this, since that day, Ji Qing had asked him about Jiang Qinglan intentionally or unintentionally, which made her pay attention.
"Second sister, what do you think she means?"
On this day, Ji Qing came to Xie Ruzhuo to trick her again, but she didn't expect it. As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Xie Ruyue walking in.
Ever since Ji Qing was scolded by Xie Ruyue last time when she asked for something, she had been hiding from her second cousin, and now she left in despair.
After Xie Ruyue left, Xie Ruzhuo asked calmly.
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's question, Xie Ruyue sneered and said, "What else can it mean? The weasel is giving New Year's greetings to the chicken, so it's not a good intention!"
"Thankfully, you are our lady, and your words are a bit rude. You should say - the drunkard doesn't care about the wine." Xie Ruzhuo chuckled lightly and took a bite of the fruit in his hand.
Xie Ruyue glanced at her with disdain and said, "You speak nicely, otherwise you wouldn't be entangled with such a person." She was always fast-talking and could not tolerate such people.
"Oh, if she wants to pester me, will I fall into the trap?" Xie Ruzhuo handed Xie Ruyue a fruit and then said, "However, I didn't expect that she would dare to take advantage of the Jiang family. She actually ate it. A bear's heart and a leopard's courage."
You need to know what kind of family background the Jiang family has. In the early years, Emperor Gaozu conquered the world, and the honors and favors accumulated over several generations are only higher than the lintel of the Xie family. It's just that the Chiang family has always been upright, and they run the family with an iron face, never forming cliques for personal gain. Over the past hundred years, the power of the Chiang family has become less intricate.
But what the emperor likes is this kind of minister. Therefore, the glory of the Jiang family can be said to be deep-rooted.
But now, Ji Qing unexpectedly wants to take advantage of Jiang Qinglan, and she is so wishful thinking!
"Some people can't see the situation clearly and don't know how high the sky is, so let her hit the wall. Why should we stop her?" Xie Ruyue snorted and said, "Just be careful and don't get tripped up by others. Got the gunman."
"Second sister, don't worry." Xie Ruzhuo chuckled, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm not that stupid. I just want to see how far Ji Qing can commit suicide. .”
She never mind teaching such villains a lesson with her own hands!
Jiang Qinglan invited me a few days ago, and the date was set for tomorrow. Early the next morning, Xie Ruzhuo was woken up by Jiang Zhu and others early, changed into a Clinique gauze dress, put on a pair of embroidered shoes, and went out.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate, not only was Ji Qing there, but Ji Yanzhang was also waiting in front of the door.
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned at first, and then became dissatisfied. Ji Qing's Sima Zhao's heart is too obvious!
"Cousin, you are finally out. My brother and I have been waiting for a long time." Ji Qing did not feel that what she did was inappropriate at all, but instead pouted and complained. Her lips were already thick, and when she pursed them now, instead of being as delicate as a child's, she actually looked a bit ugly.
Xie Ruyue suppressed her laughter and said seriously, "Since everyone is here, let's go."
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo didn't bother to refuse, but before getting in the car, he remembered something. Although he turned around and told Hong Rui, "Go to Jiang's house to invite the two young cousins, and tell them that I will invite them to Yue Lake to enjoy the lotus, and ask them to do it." Come quickly, if it takes more than an hour, let Jiang Chengjun pay."
Hearing this, Hongrui immediately snickered, and then said seriously, "Please rest assured, young lady, I will definitely pass on the words exactly as they are!"
Seeing Hong Rui turn around and leave quickly, Xie Ruzhuo got back on the carriage. Ji Qing, no matter what your plans are today, I will find a way to prevent you from getting what you want!
Before reaching Yuehu Lake, they saw Jiang Qinglan's maid waiting on the shore. As soon as she saw these gentlemen and young ladies, the maid Binglan immediately smiled and said, "Miss Xie is finally here. If you don't come again, my lady will have to finish all the snacks."
Xie Ruzhuo immediately smiled and said, "If your lady dares, I will throw her into the lake to feed the fish." After saying that, she immediately stepped onto the deck and walked in.
This boat is different from the one Xiao Xinning invited to take when she visited the lake last time. It is just a single-story passenger boat. However, the decoration is different from the gorgeous one last time. Instead, it has a fresh atmosphere. It is elegant and simple inside, and has a unique taste. .
Jiang Qinglan was eating snacks boredly. When she saw Xie Ruzhuo, she smiled like a flower and said, "You are really slow." As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Yanzhang beside Ji Qing in surprise and said, "Hey, Why are there still men here?”
Ji Qing heard Jiang Qinglan's question and quickly introduced him eagerly, "Sister Jiang, this is my brother Ji Yanzhang. He is usually a nerd. I thought the weather would be nice today, so I dragged him here. You You won’t mind, right?”
After everything has been said, how can Jiang Qinglan say she doesn't mind? Immediately, he smiled dryly and said, "Come and sit down." Then he no longer looked at Ji Qing and the other two, and only turned his eyes to Xie Ruzhuo.
Xie Ruzhuo curled his lips slightly and said with a smile, "Your outfit today coincides with mine." Today, both of them were wearing Clinique clothes, and Xie Ruyue was wearing a pink suit. The three of them stood together, and they looked very different from each other. The lotus leaves connecting the sky outside are connected together, like a good painting in a splash-ink landscape.
When Jiang Chengye came, he saw this scene. His breath was stagnant at first, but before he could appreciate it, he heard the fat man next to him speak first.
"Cousin, I arrived within an hour. You don't need me to treat you to the meal today, right?"
