As soon as Qingguan returned to Gu's house, before she got off the carriage, the clever woman opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Miss Sixth, be careful where you step."
Qingguan didn't get suspicious, so she supported Yueniang's hand and got out of the car. Just as she was about to cross the threshold, another woman came forward and said, "Miss Sixth, the sedan has been prepared."
The afternoon sun had dried the ground, leaving only water stains in the low areas. Qingguan didn't think much, got on the sedan chair and said, "Go to Shou'an Hall to say hello first."
The mother-in-law smiled casually and said, "My wife has been waiting for Miss Sixth all morning."
Qingguan listened, nodded, put down the sedan curtain, and secretly drafted the manuscript.
In the Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Wei was leaning on the couch with half-closed eyes, slowly turning the beads in her hand. The little maid took a beauty hammer and knelt beside the couch.
"Sixth Miss is here." The little maid, with her sharp eyesight and quick hands, put away the beauty hammer and retreated.
Wei opened her eyes, looked at Qingguan and said with a smile, "I'm back."
Qingguan came forward to say hello.
"What did you do in the mansion today, and who did you meet?"
Qingguan came one by one as planned in advance. Anyway, my wife would not really go to the Jiang family to ask. Even if she did, the Jiang family would cover it up for her.
Mrs. Wei listened with great interest, and finally said with a smile: "As soon as you left, someone from the Jiang family came."
It couldn't be such a coincidence. Qingguan was startled and pretended to be calm: "Oh, my granddaughter doesn't know."
"Of course I won't let you know, silly boy." Wei's eyes were full of love and concern.
Qingguan became more and more puzzled, but did not dare to show any expression and just sat quietly.
Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Wei's smile deepened.
Although this girl was stupid before, she is getting better and better every day now. Her sitting posture and expression make it strange that the Jiang family has taken a liking to her. She is exactly the same as the dead Qian family.
Seeing that his wife didn't say anything, Qingguan just kept his eyes on her, so he calmed down.
"You, my child, have finally paid off your hardships. That house is the most aristocratic. I will be relieved if you marry her in the future."
Qing Guan was stunned, then frowned, "Madam, which house should I marry to?"
"Hey, look at my memory, I forgot to mention it. Sixth girl, the Jiang family sent a matchmaker to come to our house to arrange a kiss. She was talking about the seventh master of the Jiang family."
"Jiang Hongwen?" Qingguan blurted out.
"No need to be rude, how can a man like you be called by a name that a girl like you can call?" Mrs. Wei thought to herself. Just as she complimented you a few times, the madness came out again.
Qingguan's face turned pale, "Madam, which girl in the Jiang family is the seventh master of the Jiang family asking to marry?"
"What a fool."
Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "It's you who want to marry me, Liu Yatou."
Like a bolt of lightning striking Tianling Gai, Qingguan was stunned.
"Yue Niang, have you been sitting there for a long time?" Chunni was a little worried.
Yueniang shook her head and said, "Don't say that Miss can't figure it out, even I can't figure it out. The Jiang family is so good, why do they..."
"Isn't it good for the young lady to marry her? There are ancestors who are hurting her. Who dares to bully her?"
"That's true. The Jiang family has a clean and upright family, and the three ladies look kind. Even Master Qi..."
"There is no man in this world who doesn't have three wives and four concubines. Although Qi Ye is more romantic, there is no one in the room. It can be seen that he is also messing around outside. The lady is guarding the inner house and leads a quiet life. It is better than those who hold incense. It’s better to bring the smelly ones home.”
"So, Master Qi is a very good person, worthy of our young lady..."
"Yue Niang!"
Qingguan couldn't bear it and said, "Are you so anxious to marry me off?"
Chunni and Yueniang hurriedly put down their sewing work, opened the curtain and came in, looking at her eagerly.
"Your young lady, I am so good-looking that everyone loves me, and my flowers are blooming. Am I still worried about not being able to get married?"
Chunni whispered: "Miss, how can you put gold on your own face?"
Yueniang also followed: "Yes, miss. Jiang Qiye is not bad either. His family background and character are all there."
Qingguan looked at Yueniang in disbelief.
I thought to myself, your face has changed a lot too quickly. You said before that that guy is not very good, but now you are exaggerating his family background and character. Seeing that the young lady was silent, Chunni was afraid that if she missed the village, there would be no such shop, so she tried her best to persuade her: "Miss, women always have to get married and have children. If the young lady marries to the Jiang family, she won't say anything else, just talk about her ancestors." , the three masters and wives must treat the young lady as their own daughter. This is all begging.
It's a good thing not to come. "
"There's another advantage. I must tell the story to the young lady. The Jiang family's knowledge is praised even by the emperor. When the young master is born, he will definitely be able to become a master after being exposed to hearing and hearing since he was a child!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Stop!" Qingguan shouted sharply.
These two people were getting more and more outrageous as they talked about it. They were going to be fourteen, and they had even thought about their young master's future. Their heads were spinning too fast.
"Go and help me deliver the message next door. I want to see Jiang Hongwen."
Chunni's face lit up and she said, "Miss, please think about it."
Qingguan smiled coldly and said without any emotion, "Chunni, if you say one more word, I will marry you off tomorrow."
The young lady had taken a pill today. Chunni was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue, quickly opened the curtain and ran away, but she never thought that someone would open the curtain and come in.
"The second lady is here."
Gu Qingzhi smiled with a joyful look on her face, "You silly fool, where are you going?"
Chunni smiled and said: "I know that the second lady is coming, so go get some fruit for the second lady."
"What a sweet-tongued maid."
Gu Qingzhi walked to the couch, lowered her head and looked at Qingguan's face, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sixth Sister, congratulations to Sixth Sister, Second Sister is here to wish you good luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was opened again, and two concubines came in dressed in colorful clothes.
"Sixth sister, what a great joy!"
Having a second sister was already too much to bear, and adding two more mouths... Qingguan felt powerless, and gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded Jiang Hongwen.
Can anyone tell her what is going on
Prince Lao Qing's Mansion.
The old princess slapped the case, pointed at her daughter and scolded, "You mother, you are so confused. You have delayed my sister's good deeds. Why should I scold you?"
Huayang felt aggrieved, but he did not say anything in defense. He just lowered his head and said, "What my mother scolded me for was that I was careless in this matter. Who would have thought that the one the Jiang family wanted was a lunatic."
"It's also you who are soft-hearted. If it were me, such a scourge would have killed her long ago, but you still keep her alive."
Hua Yang suppressed his unwillingness and said: "A madman is not worthy of his daughter taking action."
"But now her madness is gone."
Princess Lao Qing said angrily: "I'm here to steal your daughter's marriage!"
"..." Hua Yang was so scolded that he couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Wu Yanling hurriedly said sadly: "Grandma, I can't blame my mother for this. The madman has been different from usual since he recovered from his madness."
Anger flashed in the old princess's eyes, "What's the difference?"
Wu Yanling thought for a while and said, "I can't tell what's different. I just think her words and deeds are a bit better than those of the two concubines. Her words and deeds are extremely well-educated. It seems like an unintentional move, but she just looks at it. It doesn’t look like it’s careless.”
After his daughter reminded him, Huayang seemed to have something in mind.
When she was in Jiangnan, this lunatic held her hand all over, telling her to live or die.
After entering the capital, she received a dowry of one hundred thousand taels, and then the inexplicable favor from the Jiang family... Now her aunt could no longer handle it, and the change was too fast!
The old princess said in a cold voice: "No matter what the difference is, she must not marry in the Jiang family." The old prince tried every means to leave a way out for the people in the family, how could she be blocked.
"But grandma, what if the Jiang family wants to marry her?" Wu Yanling's eyes moved slightly.
"Then it's no wonder that I am cruel and ruthless." The old princess sneered again and again.
Wu Yanling felt relieved and took up the handkerchief to cover the stern expression on her lips. Gu Qingwan, that man is the only one I can marry.
The door was kicked open hard.
Jiang Hongwen walked in with a livid face and anger on his brows. Without saying a word, he punched the pear flower wooden table.
"Zhao Jingyan, what the hell do you want to do?"
There was a dull pain in his chest, which showed that the kick was extremely heavy. When had Jiang Qiye ever experienced such cowardice
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him lightly and pointed to the freshly brewed tea cup in front of her.
"Hongwen, retreating blindly is not an option. We should move forward at the right time. He has stayed in there long enough."
If he hadn't been smart enough to expose Gu Liu's life experience and gain his father's heart today, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Jiang Hongwen heard the profound meaning in these words. He lifted up his robe and sat down, playing with the lid of the tea cup.
"You also have to be able to advance. What's the use of taking one step forward and three steps back like before."
"It's different now. We have money, we have people, and there are some things we can work hard on."
Jiang Hongwen didn't expect that he would say it so straightforwardly, and he called out: "Tinglin?"
Zhao Jingyan met his gaze, and her hand holding the fan tightened involuntarily, "There is something I have been hiding from you. The Crown Princess... is dying."
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, and the tea cup shattered. Jiang Hongwen's body trembled slightly, and his face was ashen.
"She..." is just a word, but it contains deep sadness and sadness.
Zhao Jingyan suddenly felt pain in her heart. She stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "I didn't say it for your own good, because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it."
Jiang Hongwen clenched his hands tightly, and his knuckles began to turn white when he exerted force. My heart felt as if it had been torn apart by someone, and it was in pieces.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Jingyan's chest, and said sternly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhao Jingyan's mouth turned bitter and she said, "So what?"
"I'm going to ask Gu Qingwan for treatment."
"The lamp has run out, do you think I didn't send someone?"
Jiang Hongwen let go slumped, his eyes blankly looking where he was looking. She is Tinglin's eldest sister-in-law, someone he respects, and Tinglin will not leave her alone.
"Hongwen, they have stayed there for six years without seeing the light of day. Every day is extremely long. This kind of life is enough."
Jiang Hongwen took a few steps back, with an indescribable expression on his face. Yes, she stayed inside for six years, while he stayed outside for six years.
It has been six years, and he has forgotten how he survived day by day. He only knows that his heart has always been clenched and there is no time to relax. And at this moment, he deeply regretted it. If he had known that she wouldn't survive six years, he should have...
