A trace of coldness flashed in Qingguan's eyes, and he pondered for a moment, then said: "Nine-five-year-old prince, which prince doesn't want to reach the top? He seems to be a playboy, but he actually has a deep secret. If such a person is not for that position, why should he work so hard? cover up."
Shi Lei said with a headache: "How do you know that the case of Qian and Sheng's family has nothing to do with him?"
Qingguan shook his head, his tone as cold as ice. "First of all, he is still young and does not have that strength; King Erye Shou was brought up by the late Queen when he was young. The Queen was kind to him in nurturing him and licking a calf. He and the prince were brothers and would never do anything ungrateful. The case of Qian and Sheng is closely related to the prince, which can prove that everything is related to
He has nothing to do with it. "
Shi Lei's heart was filled with cold waves, and he couldn't exert any strength under his feet. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said: "Qingguan, you are so smart. If you were a man, you would definitely be honored as my wife one day. Hou, a powerful minister."
Qingguan smiled, with a weak smile.
"Brother-in-law, I just want to avenge the Qian and Sheng families."
Shi Lei sighed: "What you have done is not just revenge. Qingguan, are you going to..."
Shi Lei didn't say any more. Some of his words were disrespectful.
"so what?"
She came through hell, didn't she just come for revenge? In the future, so what if the world is wiped out? What's more, does the emperor and general Xiang Ning have the guts? Who says that a dandy prince cannot be an emperor
"So what!" Shi Lei broke into a cold sweat.
In the current situation, the two kings were already in power. She could turn things around with one person. This... this... Shi Lei didn't dare to think about it any further.
Qingguan raised her eyes, with light shining in her eyes, and she said softly: "Brother-in-law, I introduced you to him. Firstly, because of his great talent and ability, secondly, because I want to ask my brother-in-law to fulfill my selfish desires." ”
Thirdly, one day the longevity king will reach the top, and the historians in Hangzhou will support him with merit, and he will be able to prosper. This is her selfish intention towards her second sister.
Faced with such a woman's eyes, Shi Lei couldn't say any words of rejection no matter what.
Qingguan didn't know that he was secretly collecting money for the prince, nor did he know that King Shou always respected the prince. If everything goes well, the only person who can reach the top in the future will be the prince, not the longevity king.
Shi Lei's eyes flashed, and his heart was rolling like waves.
The longevity king and the prince are the closest brothers. Whoever reaches the top will pay back the money and bring justice to both families. He doesn't need to get entangled at all, because there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and there is only one purpose.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law will help you."
Gu Qingguan's fisted hand hanging by his side slowly relaxed, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said with the coquettishness that a fourteen-year-old girl should have: "My brother-in-law still loves me."
Shi Lei suddenly raised his hand, but it stopped only half an inch away from Qingguan's head.
He really felt sorry for this girl. She was burdened with a blood feud at a young age. When he was fourteen years old, he could only follow his father and stupidly complete the tasks assigned by his father.
Qingguan smiled and stretched his head over.
Shi Lei immediately touched her bun, just like he touched his sister Songyin, "If you have anything to say in the future, tell your brother-in-law directly. Don't hide it."
Qingguan blinked mischievously, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't hide anything from you."
Zhao Jingyan doesn't like riding horses very much. He just likes to sit in a comfortable carriage, where the wind can't blow him and the rain can't get him. It's called protecting his delicate skin.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he leaned his head on the brocade cushion, found a comfortable position, and sighed, "This carriage is from Qingguan."
Jiang Hongwen rolled his eyes feebly and looked elsewhere, and then neither of them spoke.
The most lovable woman in the world is not a woman who brings tears to her eyes, but one who holds tears in her eyes and resists falling in front of others. Such a woman can make you love her to the core.
Jiang Hongwen sighed softly and sneered: "Compared with her, I feel like I am more of a bastard, ignorant, wasting half my life, and bearing the name of a man in vain."
"She must have been only seven or eight years old when the incident happened, right?" Zhao Jingyan looked deeply.
"Ah?" Jiang Hongwen was immersed in his own thoughts.
"She has been stupid since she was a child. It was only after Qian Fu entered Jiangnan that she was cured of her illness, right?"
"..." Jiang Hongwen was puzzled.
Zhao Jingyan murmured: "Logically, such deep hatred should not be expressed on her."
Jiang Hongwen couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
"Means nothing."
Zhao Jingyan smiled faintly, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, "I can't wait for her to have hair extensions and want to marry someone."
"Old cows eat young grass." Jiang Hongwen said casually without thinking deeply.
"It's not a bad idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly shook, followed by the neighing of a horse. Their expressions changed, but their bodies did not move.
After a moment, the car curtain was opened, and A Li's head poked in.
"What's up?"
A Li looked at Master Qi, then at his master, his eyebrows dropped, and he said with a bitter face: "Master Qi, news just came that the Jiang family sent a matchmaker to the Gu family today to arrange a marriage."
"oh!"
Jiang Hongwen glared at him angrily, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ah Li swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "It's about the marriage between Mr. Qi and Miss Six!"
"What?"
Jiang Hongwen jumped up and hit his head straight on the roof of the carriage. Before he could fall, a foot stretched out and landed heavily on his chest.
"Hey!" With a sound, Jiang Qiye was kicked out of the carriage.
A cold voice sounded in the car with overwhelming anger.
"Old ancestor, could it be that you want to steal my king's concubine? Your hands and feet are really fast!"
Before he finished speaking, a fast horse stopped in front of him. The man on the horse clasped his fists and said loudly: "Prince Shou, your Majesty has invited you."
Zhao Jingyan opened the curtain fiercely, her face a little uncertain.
There were bursts of laughter in the courtyard of the ancestors of the Jiang family.
Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said: "Old lady, that's what happened. The Gu family was shocked and said they would get back to you in a few days."
The ancestor hurriedly asked, "Do you think it can be done?"
Matchmaker Zhang thought about the look of surprise on Princess Huayang's face, made a few turns in her mind, and said with a smile: "With a family like our Jiang family, and a man like Master Qi, where can you find it all over the capital? This is probably the case. It can be done. I will go to that mansion in a few days."
What he said was really beautiful, and the ancestor smiled and said: "Come and watch!"
Matchmaker Zhang was overjoyed, stood up and thanked her, and followed her maid to the tent to receive the reward.
When they left, the second wife, Mrs. Zhao, and the third wife, Mrs. Han, came to congratulate Mrs. Zhang one after another.
"Sister-in-law, Lao Qi's marriage is finally settled."
"Sister-in-law, now you have a good wife."
Mrs. Zhang smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and said, "It's all thanks to our ancestors."
Mrs. Zhu accompanied her and said with a smile: "In the future, in our house, we don't have to go to the Imperial Hospital. If there is someone who has a headache and fever, go to Lao Qi's room and take care of him."
The ancestor was happy in his heart and said angrily: "We can't burden that child."
"Oh, ancestor, you protected this person before he even entered the door. If he does come in in the future, I'm afraid that ancestor won't even recognize me as my grandson's wife. This is really unreasonable." Mrs. Zhu deliberately said Nian Suan said with jealousy.
The ancestor stretched out his fat hand and said with an angry smile: "Quickly...quickly tear her mouth apart..."
The Shi family's lunch is served at Shuiyun Tower. Because the chef is from the south, all the dishes are southern cuisine, which makes Qingguan feel a little friendly when eating.
After dinner, Shi Lei glanced at Qingguan, and then asked his wife for leave to go out to work.
Qingguan understood. The bank was about to open, and he was probably too busy to be alone. It was rare to find time to see her, so he said meaningfully, "Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Shi Songyin was eager for his eldest brother to leave. After waiting for the others to leave, he ordered the maid to serve melons, fruits and tea, and started to have a heart-to-heart chat.
After only saying a few words, he felt spring sleepy and was ordered by Lu Zhiyu to take a nap.
Shi Songyin was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to joke about his body, so he could only go back to the room honestly. Qingguan saw her looking back three times with each step, took two quick steps and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Seriously?" Shi Songyin asked in shock.
"It's absolutely true. You know everyone in that mansion. If you're bored, just go there and play. I'll have someone prepare a yard for you. If you miss me, just ask Chen Ping to pick me up."
"I want a yard, a room, and a bed with you."
"Okay, okay, okay." Qingguan raised his hands in surrender, really scared of her.
Shi Songyin smiled and blinked, biting Qingguan's ears for a while, and then left briskly.
Lu Zhiyu waved her hand, and the maids and women withdrew with a look.
With no outsiders left, Lu Zhiyu pulled Qingguan to her side and asked about the affairs of the Gu family in detail.
Qingguan didn't hide it either. He picked out some things he could say and told her. The two sisters hold hands and head to head, the picture is very harmonious.
Seeing that her life was going smoothly, Lu Zhiyu shed a few tears and then let go of her worries.
Qingguan looked at her face and said softly: "Second sister, you don't have to be too sad about the matter in Dingguo Palace. Life will end in dust. Even if it lasts for a hundred years, there will always be ups and downs. You need it. Look away."
In fact, Qingguan didn't need to think too much, and he knew what life was like in that house. Because of his involvement with the prince, everyone in the upper echelons of the capital avoided him for fear of getting into trouble. The men in the house could not get wives, and the girls could not get married. Life was indeed difficult.
Lu Zhiyu cried and said, "That's the truth, but I still feel sad in my heart. You don't know, my sister... is terminally ill. She only has a few days to live. I don't know if she can survive my father's birthday."
Qingguan was startled, and her whole heart felt sad.
Lu Zhiyu's eldest sister, Lu Zhiqing, was the deposed prince's concubine. This marriage was arranged by the late queen when she was still alive. Lu Zhiqing was about to be ten years old at that time.
Precisely because she was engaged early, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders. She learned palace etiquette from the nuns in the palace every day. She occasionally showed her face during the New Year, but because of her status, she had to put on airs. Therefore, Qingwan and her are not very close. "How could this be?"
