East Park.
Pan Liang's family put the hot tea into Grandma's hands and said in a low voice: "Grandma, why does this matter look so strange today?"
Zhou coughed twice, frowned and said, "It doesn't look right to me either."
The mother and daughter maintained their noble status and always followed rules in their words and deeds. Especially the little one, who had ever broken a tea bowl in front of everyone. Furthermore, his face was as white as a ghost, which didn't look right at first glance.
Pan Liang's family laughed softly, "Is there something we don't know about here?"
"It is definitely indispensable, but we are all kept in the dark."
Mrs. Zhou straightened her back and said in a low voice: "Send someone to the west to inquire about it later."
"There are our people in the west, don't worry, Grandma."
"Um!"
Zhou let out a long sigh. Suddenly, her expression changed, her eyes flickered a few times, and she glanced lightly at her confidant.
"Is she making any movement?"
Pan Liang's family was so chilled by the sight of her that she hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to my eldest grandma, I have been holding the lamp till dawn for the past few nights. I heard from my servants that the amount of moaning and sighing all day has been reduced a lot. I'm afraid that my heart is right." Thinking of a way."
Mrs. Zhou sneered and said, "Whenever she is in trouble, go and give her the pair of white jade and golden phoenix-shaped hairpins, and say that I rewarded her."
Pan Liang's family pouted and said, "Grandma is so generous. How can she use such a good thing?"
Zhou's eyes widened, and Pan Liang's family slapped him in the face and said, "Why can't you control this old mouth?"
"You really shouldn't say this."
Zhou said this on her face, but she thought deeply in her heart, "Go ahead and finish these two things for me."
"Yes, grandma."
Gong Shen of Pan Liang's family withdrew.
Mrs. Zhou was leaning on the brocade mat, her eyes gradually darkening.
"What are you doing with all the noise outside?"
Mr. Guan wore a forehead wipe on his head and sat crookedly on the couch with a sick look on his face.
Lan'er put the medicine on the small table and said: "Go back to Young Madam, the Jiang family has come to marry Miss Sixth, and she is talking about Master Seventh."
"Seventh Master?"
"I heard it was meant by the ancestors of the Jiang family, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Guan thought about the scene she saw in the garden when her second wife first entered the capital, and felt a slight commotion in her heart.
Over the years she has been here in the Gu Mansion, one can somewhat tell the height of her eyebrows. There are four girls in the second room, and the two concubines are very good at it, so they can't do anything. Sister Ling is powerful in the dark, but she is too arrogant.
Only Miss Six, who was recovering from her illness, she really couldn't see through. Call her good, but she often gets into trouble, call her stupid, but no one can take advantage of her, and now she is said to be married to the Jiang family...
"Young lady, the medicine is cold, drink it while it's hot."
His thoughts were disrupted, Guan sighed: "Bring it here."
"My eldest mistress, my eldest grandma asked me to bring you this pair of white jade and golden phoenix-shaped hairpins."
Guan was drinking medicine from the hand of her personal maid Lan'er. When she heard this, she choked on the medicine and coughed violently.
Lan'er patted her back and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to send it here. I will put it away for you."
Pan Liang's little eyes were narrowed, staring at Guan's haggard face, and she was startled.
She was dressed in homely clothes, but she didn't wear any hairpins. Although she was ill, her eyes were like shooting stars and her skin was like gelatin, making her look even more attractive than before.
No wonder he... is such a beauty! She said respectfully, "My slave, please leave."
"etc!"
Guan called her out.
"Young lady, do you have any other instructions?"
Guan looked at the top of the bed, hesitated, and said, "Does Grandma have anything else to say?"
Pan Liang's family shook their heads, "Grandma said, I want you to take good care of your health. There are a lot of things going on in the house, and your help is indispensable."
Guan sighed inaudibly, "Well, you go ahead."
There was a touch of sarcasm on Pan Liang's lips, and he said with a deep smile: "My slave, please leave."
Without the outsiders, Guan leaned back and leaned weakly on the brocade cushion.
Lan'er hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said: "I don't know what the grandma's intention is in sending something here at this time..."
A blush appeared on Guan's pale face, and she laughed faintly. The laughter caused a cough. Lan'er quickly patted her back again, and it took a long time to suppress it.
"She... is urging me."
"ah?"
Lan'er was shocked, with waves of fear in her heart. Her clenched hands showed her nervousness and uneasiness at this time.
She was born into the housekeeper's family, and because she was quite smart, she joined the Gu family. The young mistress treated her with the same affection as her sisters, and there was nothing wrong with her.
But that private matter must not be brought to light after all. What if it happens... Let alone a little maid like her, even the young mistress cannot escape death.
"Young mistress, what should we do?"
Guan knew that she was worried and uneasy, so she couldn't help but sneer, "You can only die, so what are you afraid of?"
Lan'er bit her lip hard and sighed: "What nonsense are you talking about? My mistress is dead, what will I do?"
Guan thought about her son and wept silently.
"Auntie, why did the Jiang family like her?" Gu Qinglian felt unhappy. How could a lunatic deserve to marry into that mansion
Aunt Xu snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? With Master Jiang Qi's reputation, no woman from a high-ranking family would be willing to marry him. Gu Qingwan is good-looking and has a hundred thousand taels of dowry money. The most important thing is, If anything happens in the future, she, a madman with no father and mother, will be able to handle it. "
"Mom, why doesn't she have a father?"
"That father of yours has never taken care of her in all these years."
Gu Qinglian was secretly shocked and said, "No wonder the Jiang family picked her up every two days. Was this the original idea?"
"The water in the wealthy family is deep. Only the lunatic ran to the mansion stupidly. I don't know if he will be sold in the future." Aunt Xu guessed self-righteously.
Gu Qinglian was scared again and again.
Aunt Xu stretched out her face and whispered: "The princess went to Jiang's mansion yesterday, and today the matchmaker came to visit. Maybe she was behind this marriage."
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Gu Qinglian was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, and she was worried about her future.
When Gu Qinglian and Xu were feeling sorry for Qingwan in the room, Gu Qingwan had been invited to the second floor by Shi Lei.
In the hall on the second floor, hot tea, snacks and fruits were already served, and two familiar faces were sitting on the left and right.
Qingguan's heart moved. It seemed that Shi Lei and Zhao Jingyan had reached an agreement. She blessed the two people and sat lightly aside.
"Brother-in-law, sit down too."
Shi Lei was about to leave when Qingguan called him, but instead of sitting down without authorization, he looked at King Shou with a smile.
"We are all members of our family, please sit down." Zhao Jingyan whispered.
Everyone sat down, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
Qingguan coughed slightly and broke the silence, "Your Majesty."
"Tinglin," Zhao Jingyan frowned, shook her fan, and interrupted quickly.
Well? Qingguan didn't react for a moment.
"Qingwan, didn't I say last time, call me Tinglin." Zhao Jingyan's voice was a little muffled. Why can't I remember how to do big things with him with such a memory? That's outrageous.
"puff!"
Jiang Hongwen took a mouthful of hot tea and spurted it out, looking straight at Zhao Jingyan. When did your relationship advance by leaps and bounds to this point
Qingguan blushed slightly, frowned, and still called: "Your Majesty."
"Tinglin!" Zhao Jingyan was thick-skinned, with firmness in his voice, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Qingguan saw that everyone's eyes were on her alone, and she wanted to step forward and bite that guy to death. If I don't call you "Tinglin", you will die!
Time passed little by little, Qing Guan blushed and gritted her teeth in silence, while Zhao Jingyan looked at her with blazing eyes, a look of expectation on her face.
Like an arrow on the string that had to be fired, Qingguan could only bite the bullet and call out: "That Tinglin..."
"Why… "
Zhao Jingyan gave a long response and said with a smile on her face: "What are your orders, Qingwan?"
At this time, even A Li wanted to throw tea on his master's face. Shameless, so shameless. In broad daylight, he actually intimidated Miss Sixth like this.
Jiang Hongwen glanced at A Li. You're a fool, don't just say it in your heart.
A Li quickly lowered his eyes. Master Qi, you are so bad. You are not a naughty person, but you encourage me. I still want to get a wife with my head on your neck.
Shi Lei was secretly surprised when he saw everyone's expressions. Qingguan and King Shou are called so, it seems that they have an unusual relationship.
The undercurrent in the room caused Qingwan's expression to change several times. He said, "I do have something that I want to trouble you with. I would like to ask Wang... Tinglin to help me find the person who made the list in the Ministry of Revenue back then."
Zhao Jingyan raised her eyebrows and stopped smiling. What does Gu Qingguan want to do
He smiled faintly and said: "This... is a bit difficult, but I am willing to give it a try."
Although the words were extremely modest, Qingguan still couldn't help but want to pour the tea in his hand.
"Is there anything else Qingwan has to do?"
Eight characters appeared in Gu Qingguan's mind: hypocritical, with a human face and an animal heart.
She glared angrily and said, "I still want to ask the prince one thing."
"But say you are defenseless."
Zhao Jingyan thought it was fun to tease her. This woman had always been cold and cold, but when she called her "Tinglin", she blushed with embarrassment, which really made her laugh.
"My uncle Sheng Jiu died first by a knife and then in the fire. My lord, where are the others?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
Shi Lei stared at Qingguan in disbelief, with a look of shock on his face.
Qingguan bit her lip. After being prompted by Shi Minwei that day, she suddenly became enlightened, and the mystery in her heart that had not been solved for a long time suddenly became clear.
Those were memories that she had never dared to touch. Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that everything had already happened.
During those days, my grandfather always locked himself in the study, and my mother and grandmother also lost their former cheerfulness. My father leaves early and comes home late, spending most of his time at Sheng's house.
She had no idea, she was only thinking about where to hide herself
Su Ziyu had three days of rest every month, and the first thing he did when he came back was to come to Qian Mansion to find her.
She has an unwritten rule with him: hide her and let him find her. Before they get married, they will see who wins or loses. The loser will have to listen to the other's words for the rest of his life. I have been playing this game for two years. Because Su Ziyu knows the Qian Mansion very well, I have fallen behind five times. I feel a little anxious, so I rack my brains to find a secret hiding place.
