Qingguan held the gold-gilt invitation, pointed to Shi Songyin's name on it, and handed the invitation over with a smile without saying a word.
After Shi Songyin looked at it, his face looked shy and he felt uneasy after eating.
Although it was February, the weather was cold and the room was ablaze, so the sisters talked with their heads next to each other.
"Qingguan, I am not related to the Jiang family, so why do you want me to go?"
Qingguan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's Hongwen's intention to invite you, but he hasn't been here for some days."
Shi Songyin's eyes were bright, and her face seemed to be both happy and angry. "I heard that he is very busy."
“It’s really busy!”
Qingguan stopped laughing and answered: "We have to worry about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, the Prince's Mansion, the Yinzhuang, and the Jiang Mansion."
Shi Songyin sighed softly: "In the final analysis, there are still too few trustworthy people around the prince. Otherwise, if the matter is shared, he can rest."
"Miss Shi feels sorry for Master Qi!"
Shi Songyin spat at Qing Wan, covered his face and said, "You are heartless. You always make fun of me. I will ignore you again."
However, Gu Qingguan's heart moved, and his eyes were slightly thoughtful, "Okay, it's all my fault. When will Brother Shi return to the capital?"
"I estimate that it will be until the end of March. There are a lot of things going on in the house. My eldest brother is the head of the family. It is rare to go back. I have to finish things before I can enter the capital."
"Will the second sister come with you this time?"
Shi Songyin shook his head, "Brother didn't say anything in the letter, but I'm looking forward to him coming. Brother is alone in the capital and has no one to take care of him. It's so pitiful."
The two chatted leisurely again before falling asleep.
When Shi Songyin's breathing gradually stabilized, Qingguan quietly lifted the quilt, put on his clothes in the dark, and walked out of the room.
Chunni and Yueniang were watching outside. When they heard the noise, they hurriedly put on their clothes and got up.
"Where are you going, miss?"
"Yue Niang, don't move, Chunni, come with me to the master's place."
Shi Minwei looked at the young lady who was visiting late at night and said with a smile: "It's freezing cold, so why bother coming here in person? If anything happens, just ask the maids to come and call."
Qingguan looked at him lightly, the strange smile on her lips seemed to have a different meaning.
Shi Minwei felt a little numb when he looked at him, "Young lady, I don't want to say anything directly. Did Minwei do something wrong to make young lady unhappy?"
Qingguan's face suddenly sank, "I am indeed a little unhappy. You have been running away every day these days. Is it because Qingfu can't keep you?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Minwei was struck by lightning, "How could Miss think so, I..."
"Since I can't keep him, it's better to leave the house. Someone come and pack Master Shi's things."
"Miss, miss..." Shi Minwei's face turned red with anxiety. How to say this, the kind lady actually wants to drive him away.
"The things are packed and sent to the Prince's Mansion."
"ah… "
It was like a lightning struck Shi Minwei. He stared blankly into Qingguan's smiling eyes, as if he was waking up from a dream.
"Miss, what do you mean..."
Qingguan smiled at him and said softly: "Although I am extremely reluctant to part with it, with the master's great talent, being relegated to the small Qing Mansion is really overkill and squandering natural resources. It would be better to go to the prince to practice. Over there It’s the right time to employ people.”
Shi Minwei half-opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. Going to the prince for training means stepping into the prince's political circle. In the future, the prince will be the supreme leader...
Shi Minwei didn't dare to think about it, so he lifted up his robe, knelt straight on the bluestone bricks, pounded his head three times, and kowtowed to shake the world.
"Miss, I'm so kind... I'm so kind..."
Shi Minwei was speechless and weeping. Shi Minwei's back moved, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Qingguan sighed softly, stretched out her hand to help him up, "Master, get up quickly, there is gold under the man's knees. If you don't have real talent and study, I will never let you go."
"Minwei kneels to heaven, to king, to his parents, and to Miss. Miss is the person Minwei admires most in his life. Without Miss, I would have been a pile of bones."
Qingguan smiled and said: "Old Huang Li, why bother talking anymore, there is something I need to tell you."
Shi Minwei was so smart. He immediately said: "Young lady, there is no need to explain. Minwei is born to be young lady and will die to be young lady's ghost. Even if I enter the prince's house, Minwei will only recognize young lady as his master. So, young lady, just don't worry." "
When Qingguan heard what he said, he was speechless. After a while, he said: "You pack up and go tonight. I'll write a letter for you to bring to him."
"Yes, miss."
"When you enter the mansion, look more, listen more, and talk less. Although he is the prince, he is still one step short. This step is very crucial. You need to be very attentive."
Shi Minwei said cautiously: "Don't worry, Miss, Minwei will live up to Miss's trust."
Prince's Mansion.
A Li pushed open the door and walked in. Ignoring everyone's gazes, he walked up to the prince and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, there is someone from Qingfu."
Zhao Jingyan frowned, waved her hand and said, "It's late at night, you can go ahead. We'll discuss the household matters tomorrow."
All the counselors bowed and retired one by one.
Jiang Hongwen stretched out, stood up and moved his numb limbs, and said, "Who is here?"
"Master Qi, this is Master Shi."
"Is it him?" Jiang Hongwen looked happy, declared his troops to seize the throne and said: "Please come quickly!"
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him and said, "Why, this person suits your taste."
"It's not just to my taste. When rumors spread in the capital, I and your advisers were helpless. It was him who calculated step by step and peeled off the cocoon. Tinglin, it's not me who said that with his help, you, the prince, will be even more powerful."
Zhao Jingyan tapped the table with her fingertips and said: "I don't want to think about his last name, Shi Ge Lao He and others. I would like to invite him into the house, but he is from Qingguan, so I can't do it."
"Prince, Master Shi is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in gray robe walked in, knelt down and saluted, "Common people, please pay homage to the prince. This is a letter written by the young lady. Please read it."
"No need to be polite, get up!"
Zhao Jingyan lazily raised her hand, took the letter from A Li, and opened it to read.
Suddenly, he suddenly jumped up from the Grand Master's chair, startling Jiang Hongwen beside him.
"She gave you... to me?"
Shi Minwei stood up, lightly dusted his body, and said word by word: "The young lady said that although the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, he is still one step short. This step is very critical and requires me to be very careful."
"Hahaha... What am I talking about? Cao Cao is here." Jiang Hongwen was overjoyed, regardless of whether "Cao Cao" was used appropriately at this moment.
"well!"
Zhao Jingyan suppressed the joy in her heart and said with a smile: "Thousand-mile horses often exist, but bole does not always exist. Shi Minwei, don't let me down."
Shi Minwei bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Minwei should do his best."
Zhao Jingyan looked at him for a moment and said loudly: "Come here, prepare a good courtyard for Master Shi. Also allocate four maids to take care of his food and daily life. Don't neglect it."
"Yes, Master!"
Ah Li stretched out his hand and said, "Master, please come with me."
Shi Minwei smiled and said: "Prince, Minwei will go first, and we will hold candlelight talks with the prince tomorrow."
Seeing him walking away, Jiang Hongwen blinked and said, "Tinglin, how are you feeling now?"
"Smile!"
Zhao Jingyan thought for a while and added, "Look up to the sky and smile."
She sent Shi Minwei here to share his worries and help him, which shows that her heart overlaps with his.
Two overlapping hearts, splitting the wind and thorns, what else is there to be afraid of
Zhao Jingyan felt a little tenderness in her heart, and two clusters of flames were beating in her narrow eyes. It would be great if she were here right now. He would definitely press a kiss on her lips.
"Now is not the time to laugh. There are a lot of things waiting to be done, so don't get carried away." Jiang Hongwen saw the slight smile on his lips and poured cold water on him.
"Prince, Gao Xiaofeng is here."
Zhao Jingyan's expression turned calm, "My Prince's Mansion is quite lively today."
"I'm afraid he's here for the wedding, otherwise he should be in the Shenji Camp at the moment." Jiang Hongwen analyzed.
"What's negotiable about marriage?"
"You don't understand this. There are so many tricks here."
Zhao Jingyan gave him a cold look and said, "You sound like you are very good at it."
"I can't call you the seventh master in Xing, but there is one thing. You have to be careful. The Gao family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. For the future of you and Gu Liu, you need to save a little."
Zhao Jingyan pondered for a long time and smiled faintly.
Time always passes quietly inadvertently and in a hurry.
March has arrived in the blink of an eye, and spring is blooming.
It will be the ancestor's birthday in a few days, and there is quite a commotion in the capital. Those who are related to the Jiang family, and those who are not related, all want to have a word or two with their ancestors on their birthdays.
The drunkard does not care about the wine, but the people behind the Jiang family.
The reward from the palace was delivered to the Jiang family on a sunny afternoon, led by Eunuch Li himself and the servants.
After hearing the news, the ancestors put on the imperial robes of Madam Gaoming, held up the dragon-headed walking stick given by the emperor, and came out tremblingly with authority.
For a time, the Jiang family had an unparalleled reputation.
The third day of March is auspicious and the wind is shining brightly.
Today is the 70th birthday of our ancestor. The main entrance of Chiang Kai-shek's residence is wide open, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The entrance of the residence is bustling with traffic and is very lively.
When Qingguan got out of the car, a sharp-eyed maid came to greet her, "Sixth Miss, Miss Shi, please come inside, our ancestors are waiting for you."
The first time Shi Songyin entered the Jiang Mansion through the main entrance, he felt a little timid and held on to Qingguan's hand.
The thought of seeing him again made my heart beat wildly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qingguan comforted her and was led in by the maid.
The scenery of Jiang Mansion in spring is quite beautiful. Although there are small bridges and flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions are still the same, but there is a hint of wealth and aura.
After a while, Qing and Wan entered one after another.
Compared with everyone else's attire, their makeup was plain, their faces were flawless, and they looked more fresh and elegant.
The ancestor looked at Qingguan a little more carefully.
Why-
After all, the Jiang family is not blessed. Such a good girl... But it is also great to be by Tinglin's side. Not to mention that her medical skills can help Ting Lin's health, but the child's intelligence is also a big help.
