Hua Yang sighed: "As soon as I said this, the eldest lady understood the meaning and took the initiative to change her words and ask how Lao Qi was doing."
"Why is this?" Wu Yanling was puzzled.
"That whole family is full of smart people. You have good looks and a good family background, and the seventh master in their family... Hey, if you hadn't taken a fancy to him, how would your mother have let you..."
When Wu Yanling heard this, her face immediately darkened.
Hua Yang was afraid that the mother and daughter would have a fight, so he hurriedly said: "That's it, that's all, as long as you are happy in your heart, I will admit it. Just relax, they will invite a middle-aged man soon, I will I have made an agreement with Grandma to keep you for another two years."
Wu Yanling was very excited.
In two years, she will marry him. I wonder if he will be as happy as she is after hearing the good news.
The scene in the garden suddenly appeared in her mind. Wu Yanling's eyes were filled with coldness and she said faintly: "Two years, I don't know what can happen in the meantime?"
When Hua Yang heard something was wrong, he quickly asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Only then did Wu Yanling blush and talk about the things in the garden in an exaggerated manner.
"You little bitch, she actually got on the pole to seduce a man. How can I treat her?" When Hua Yang heard this, he was furious and clapped his hands heavily.
"Mother!"
Wu Yanling hurriedly called the person to stop, "The matter has not been settled yet, we have to endure it first. After three rituals, everything is a foregone conclusion, and it will not be too late for mother to treat her."
These words touched Huayang's heart.
The madman now has the support of the Jiang family, so he cannot touch her and has to rely on her to deal with the Jiang family. Wait until things are settled.
Qingguan returned to the room, changed into ordinary clothes, and lay lazily on the bed.
At today's luncheon, Hua Yang chatted and laughed happily with the three ladies of the Jiang family, as affectionately as sisters. From this point of view, Wu Yanling's marriage must be on the horizon. From the princess's perspective, the person she was interested in was the Sixth Master of the Jiang family. Otherwise, she would not have come to visit today.
It's just a puzzling question why the Jiang family agreed to marry the Gu family.
It stands to reason that the Jiang family will remain neutral in the battle between the two kings. Wu Yanling has a special status and is not the real daughter of the Gu family. If they get married, the Jiang family will take a step towards the old King Qi and at the same time a step towards King Rui.
The Jiang family is Zhao Jingyan's uncle's family. Taking this step means that Zhao Jingyan is standing behind King Rui.
Is this what the ancestors meant or what Zhao Jingyan meant? What is the profound meaning here
Qingguan was puzzled, but what confused her even more was why Zhao Jingyan asked about Gao Xiaofeng's condition. Did he want to help him cure him or what? What is the purpose
Yueniang came in and saw that the young lady seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed. She hurriedly stepped forward and covered her with a quilt tightly, and was about to exit quietly.
"Yue Niang, ask Chen Ping to pick me up at night. I have something to discuss with Master."
Qingwan's voice sounded clearly from behind.
In the luxurious private room of Tianxiang Building, several old guys from the Ministry of Industry were staggering drunk and unconscious.
Zhao Jingyan sat alone at the table, still pouring and drinking slowly, looking extremely bored. If it weren't for the purpose of keeping the fox in the cage, there would be no need for him to find these old guys to accompany him.
A Li stood behind Tong with lowered eyebrows and eyes, as if he were an old monk in meditation.
As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Hongwen came in with a red face. It seemed that he had been drunk a lot. He walked up to Zhao Jingyan and whispered a few words in his ear.
I saw Zhao Jingyan's narrow eyes bursting with light, and her face suddenly took on color.
"really?"
"Absolutely true."
Jiang Hongwen lifted up his robe, gently pushed the drunken man in official robe to the side, sat in his seat, grabbed Zhao Jingyan's wine glass and tasted it.
Zhao Jingyan opened the fan with a "pop" sound, shook it a few times, and said: "The beauty has an appointment, how can I live up to it? I will pick her up early tomorrow, so that I can chat with her about romance and life, how can I Not happy."
A Li behind him suddenly raised his head, and then quickly lowered it.
Jiang Hongwen snatched his fan and said, "Let's go, that matter has a direction."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jingyan was confused.
Jiang Hongwen said the three words "Gao Xiaofeng" in a hoarse voice.
Zhao Jingyan slapped her forehead, looked around and said with a smile on her face: "I knew the little fox must have a way."
The inner residence of Chiang Kai-shek.
Mrs. Zhu sat at the bottom and said, "My wife called my daughter-in-law here because of Lao Qi's business."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "As you guessed, Huayang agreed. We two have to discuss the charter carefully."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations to Madam, the matter of Lao Qi is finally settled. The daughter-in-law next to her didn't praise her too much. She only said that this sister Qingguan is really one of a million people. Madam, are you okay? Got a treasure."
Mrs. Zhang was very excited and said: "That's why I called you here. The three matchmaking and six etiquettes must be practiced. You must not wrong the child."
Zhu smiled and said, "Did Lao Qi tell you?"
"I'm still hiding it. I don't know how many people I've helped him look for over the years, but he's always pushed back and forth. This time, I'm too lazy to pay attention to him. I'll settle on the person first."
Mrs. Zhu thought about what happened in the garden, and thought that this time it was Lao Qi who had taken a fancy to her, and wanted to pounce on her, without any resistance.
She smiled and said: "Since my wife is planning this way, she is not too young even if she is seven years old. We will invite a matchmaker to come to our house tomorrow. What do you think?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she got what she wanted and said, "It's a good feeling. Come, come, come, sit next to me quickly, and we two will discuss it one by one."
At nightfall, Qingguan was fully dressed and was waiting for Chen Ping to pick her up. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhi came and she had to look down at Yueniang secretly. Chunni winked.
The two loyal servants looked calm. One served tea to the second lady, and the other turned around and went to the backyard to guard.
After two cups of tea, Gu Qingzhi had no intention of leaving, and was still chattering about the house's gossip.
Qingguan couldn't bear it anymore and asked tentatively: "Second sister is coming here now, maybe she wants to talk to her about the person in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion."
Gu Qingzhi's face turned red, she hesitated twice, and then turned the conversation to Liang Xi.
The handsome man solemnly made a lifelong promise in front of a room full of people. This scene deeply touched Gu Qingzhi's heart.
She suddenly felt that her sixteen years of gloomy life had been shone with a gleam of light. She was anxious to find someone to share the joy in her heart. After much thought, only the sixth sister had this honor.
Qingguan held her chin and looked at the second sister opposite, not listening to a word, just looking at her blankly.
The second sister's eyes were very bright and shining, full of passion, and her white porcelain face was filled with something called happiness.
She had experienced such light before, it was so hot that it seemed to melt people, but it never lasted long. Second sister, don’t worry, my sister will help you keep this happiness.
For a sixteen-year-old girl, there is no end to the longing for her future married life.
When Gu Qingzhi got to the point where she was passionate, she ordered Hongyi to go back to her room and bring her a change of clothes, as if she wanted to share a bed with Qingguan.
Although Qingguan was unwilling in her heart, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she whispered a few words into Yueniang's ear while her second sister was changing her clothes.
Yueniang nodded and went to the backyard when no one was around. That night, the lights in Qingguan's room were on until late at night.
Perhaps it was because the Qingming Festival was approaching. At dawn, drizzle began to fall in the sky. The rain became heavier and heavier, and by the time it was fully lighted, there was already water on the ground.
At two o'clock in the morning, Jiang's carriage stopped steadily at the corner gate of Gu's residence, and the concierge hurried back to his wife.
The Wei family thought it was not surprising that the Jiang family wanted to hold a banquet for several days, so she asked Qingzhi to invite Liu Yatou in person.
Qingguan was most afraid of going out in the rain, but because the person he wanted to meet today was unusual, he took Yueniang into the carriage and drove north.
The carriage of the Jiang Mansion left within half a cup of tea when another carriage arrived at the corner gate, and the person claiming to be from the Chiang Mansion also claimed to be from the Chiang Mansion.
When the concierge heard this, he broke into a cold sweat.
Shijia Villa is located in the north of the city. It is a house with five rooms. At first glance, the house has a southern layout, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, which is quite elegant.
When the sedan arrived at the second gate, before Qingguan got off the car, she heard a scolding sound.
"Gu Qingwan."
A faint smile emerged from the corner of Qingguan's mouth, and she counted a few numbers silently in her heart. When the count reached nine, the sedan curtain lifted, and a fair and delicate face stretched out.
"Gu Qingwan, please let me wait."
Qingguan's eyes lit up when he saw her face and said, "I have been waiting for you in Beijing for several months, and you only waited for me for a day or two. Which of us is waiting for whom?"
Shi Songyin laughed angrily and said: "Gu Qingwan, do you know that in order to see you, I took the most disgusting boat, and I took it for a month."
"So, we are even, Shi Songyin."
"Gu Qingwan, I am a patient. You have to let me go."
"Shi Songyin, your illness has been completely cured by me, don't even think about pretending to be sick in front of me." Qingguan returned it without any courtesy, including his first and last name.
With a cunning light in his clear black and white eyes, Shi Songyin chuckled and said, "You're cruel. Don't say I didn't remind you, the one behind you is not as easy to get rid of as I am."
"I just said it was because a certain eldest lady blocked the sedan door and refused to let me get off, so it was late."
"Gu Qingwan, you bullied me."
"Shi Songyin, not everyone I am willing to bully."
The most beautiful place in the Shijia Villa is the Shuiyun Tower by the Heart Lake. The building is reflected in the water, and the water is next to the cloud building, reflecting each other, quiet and elegant.
On the second floor of Shuiyun Building, Zhao Jingyan and Jiang Hongwen leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. They saw several maids coming on the Jiuqu sedan chair in Shuihu, surrounded by a blue oil-paper umbrella.
Ah Li's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, Miss Six is here."
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him sideways, waved her fan and said, "I have eyes."
Qingguan walked past the Jiuqu sedan and couldn't help but look up. She saw a few feet away, under a big black umbrella, a woman in scarlet clothes staring straight at her, two lines of hot tears falling from her eyes.
Qingguan was moved and ignored the water on the ground. She picked up the hem of her skirt and ran over, throwing herself into the woman's arms. "My miserable sister..." Lu Zhiyu wailed, crying so hard that the world was shaking.
