A Li was kicked to the ground, looking at his master's uncertain face, he thought to himself that this master might be like the eighteen concubines who came to Kuishui, as if they had taken some gunpowder.
Little did he know that Zhao Jingyan had been chatting with that man about old things all night, and she felt extremely sour in her heart. Not only did he take gunpowder, he clearly wanted to kill someone with a knife.
The resentment in his heart had nowhere to go, and A Li bumped into him, so there was no reason not to take action on him.
Zhao Jingyan raised her handsome eyebrows and flicked her eyes, "If you don't hurry up and wait on me, I might as well get dressed myself."
Qingguan was in good spirits after finishing her meal. Before she could drink, Zhu had already been admitted to the hospital in a hurry.
"Sixth Miss, our ancestor is awake and insists on seeing you. We can't stop him."
Qingguan laughed angrily and said, "Why are your ancestors so disobedient?"
A bitter smile flashed across Zhu's lips.
"My Miss Sixth, if our ancestors had been obedient, they wouldn't have contracted this disease. Everyone in this house, except Lao Qi, can still hum a few words at her. Others... you don't know that we are juniors. I was in trouble, coaxed, lied, begged, offered, and used all kinds of tricks."
Qingguan smiled playfully: "I'm not used to this problem of hers."
Zhu was shocked, why did this sound so disrespectful
Qingguan knew the life of this ancestor of the Jiang family very well. It's not that she's inquisitive, but this person who even the emperor dares to decide is really a strange woman, and no one in the capital knows about it.
The ancestor of the Jiang family was named Zeng. She was originally the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ping'an, and she was doted on at home.
Nowadays, aristocratic women should know how to be courteous, be leisurely and chaste, behave with shame, and behave in a lawful manner. However, this Miss Zeng stands out in her own way. She likes to wield guns and sticks like a tomboy, and she has a very lively temperament.
When I was seventeen, no one dared to come to propose marriage. Lao Ping'an and his wife were so anxious that their hair turned white. In desperation, they begged the Queen Mother. The first empress dowager messed up the mandarin duck book, and pointed out the person to the old man of the Jiang family.
The old man is a scholar who values romance, so naturally he doesn't want to marry a dominatrix. Therefore, on the wedding night, the two of them were tied into the bridal chamber.
The story after marriage is simply wonderful. The four aunts in the old man's room are all shy, weak, and pitiful. They look harmless to humans and animals, but secretly they are scheming and ambitious people.
Miss Zeng was a straightforward person, no match for them. In just six months, she was framed repeatedly. In the end, the old man was so disgusted that he wouldn't even let her in.
Miss Zeng is also a person. If you are ruthless, I will give up.
Three months pregnant, she wrote a letter of divorce, listing eighteen crimes against a man, divorcing him, and establishing a new family to live in. Anyway, the Marquis's house gave her a large dowry, and she had money, a house, and children, so she lived a very comfortable life.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left, Mr. Jiang thought of her good intentions and wanted to welcome her back in the name of his child.
The two of them had been tossing for half a year. Miss Zeng supported her body in labor and made a bold statement that it was okay to come in and all four aunts should get out.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her trembling belly and agreed. Miss Zeng became the master from then on, while Old Mrs. Jiang was completely reduced to a wife and nosy, and he did not dare to touch other women until his death.
Qingguan looked at the white-haired ancestor in front of him with admiration in his heart. Not all women can risk their lives and fight to the death.
"Are you... the daughter of the second son of the Qian family?" The ancestor's voice was weak.
"That's right, mother Qian Chunhua, the second young lady of the Qian family." Qingguan said bluntly.
"Come here and show it to our ancestors."
Qingguan took a few steps forward and raised her face generously.
The ancestor squinted his eyes and looked up, down, left and right several times. After a long while, he said: "The face looks like the second child, but the eyes look a bit like the boss."
Qingguan's heart skipped a beat, she was really a ghostly old lady, with a pair of sharp eyes that could see everything in the world. In front of her, this little bit of Taoism is not worth mentioning.
"You have good eyesight."
"Did you save me?" The ancestor's eyes flashed.
"Why, I don't look like it?"
The ancestor took a deep breath and smiled: "You and the boss speak in exactly the same tone. Back then, I liked her for diagnosing my pulse and applying medicine accurately. It only takes seven days for any disease to be effective."
Qingguan felt a little excited when she heard someone praising her mother.
"It's a pity..." The old man's eyes lost their light instantly, and there was a faint look of sadness on his face.
Qingguan's nose felt sore and tears almost came out of her eyes. For the first time in five years, I heard someone use the word "pity" when talking about the Qian family.
She held back her tears and smiled faintly: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. People can't earn their lives. Ancestor, I have already thought about it, and I ask you to let it go."
She must not think too much about her body, Qingguan had to say this.
As soon as these words came out, not only the ancestors were shocked, but also Jiang Hongwen and Zhu behind Qingguan.
The woman in front of her has not yet passed her fourteenth birthday, and her words are full of vicissitudes of life, and she is more mature and steady than the older person.
"Good boy, what's your name?" The ancestor gave her a meaningful look.
"Gu Qingwan."
The ancestor said so many words in one breath, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold it any longer. He turned his eyes to Zhu and said, "Serve me well. Don't be wronged."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said: "Ancestor, don't worry, no one can wrong Miss Sixth."
Qingguan did not turn around and leave, but said sternly: "Our ancestors are blessed with good fortune and longevity, so we should also think about the younger people in the house. If there are shortcomings in the good days, how will the people in this house live? Don't act willfully in the future. "After you recover, it won't be too late to call me for questioning."
The ancestor was scolded by a junior, but he was not angry but happy. His eyes showed admiration and he sighed softly: "You are really just like the boss."
Qingguan left. The ancestor waved his hand and stared directly at his grandson. Zhu left with a look.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Jiang Hongwen sat down in front of the bed, took his grandmother's hand, and said with a smile: "She just explained that my grandmother was disobedient again."
The old ancestor glared, and Jiang Hongwen hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. Please stop talking and save your energy." After half a cup of tea, Jiang Hongwen picked up the teacup with a dry mouth and drank it all in one breath, "Old ancestor, I've told you everything. I haven't hidden anything. If you don't believe me, come to Tinglin later and ask him yourself. Also, the matter of the sixth lady must be kept secret. If it weren't for you this time, she would never reveal it.
From the real person. "
The ancestor slowly closed his eyes and put a smile on his lips: "The people in that family... are really smart."
"Ancestor, which family is that?"
Jiang Hongwen waited for a long time, but there was no reply. He hurriedly went over to take a look and found that his ancestor had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He moved lightly and was about to sneak out.
"return!"
Jiang Hongwen stepped forward and said with a playful smile: "What are your instructions, ancestor?"
"Call the three masters."
Jiang Hongwen looked happy, "Yes, ancestor!"
After a while, the three masters of the Jiang family entered the room and stood respectfully in front of the bed.
"Gu Qingwan is the person I want to protect. No one in the house will ask any questions about her matters, and no one in the house will let them out."
The three masters of the Jiang family were shocked. Over the years, our ancestors have never blatantly said who they would protect.
"Whoever dares to say a word, don't blame me for turning against you. Let's go."
"Yes, mother!" None of the three sons dared to ask more, they bowed respectfully and left.
After the ancestor said this, he took his grandson's hand and lay down.
Just as Jiang Hongwen was thinking about complimenting him, the ancestor tilted his head and started shouting.
When Qingguan returned to the courtyard, Qingzhi had been waiting for her. When he saw her coming back, he smiled and said, "Where are you going? I've been waiting for you in this courtyard for a long time."
Qingguan thought for a moment and said, "My ancestor is sick and wants to see me."
"Are you following the rules and not talking nonsense?"
Qingguan saw that she was only worried about this, and her heart was completely filled with sadness. This second sister must have been frightened by her, fearing that she would cause some trouble again.
Qingguan smiled and said: "You are very disciplined and don't talk nonsense. Second sister, don't worry. It's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."
As soon as they entered the house, Mrs. Zhu led two maids in, each holding a box in their hands.
"Our ancestors have prepared it a long time ago. Don't think you two ladies are too shabby."
The maid opened the box and found two boxes of exquisite jewelry, which looked like jewels.
Qingzhi jumped up in shock and said in panic: "Grandma, why are you so embarrassed?"
Mrs. Zhu looked at Qingguan and saw that there was no trace of shock in her eyes, so she secretly thought that because of this calmness, the sixth lady would definitely become a famous doctor.
She touched the prescription in her sleeve and said with a smile: "The elder gave it to me and I can't refuse it. Second Miss, please put it away quickly, so as not to make me feel itchy because I am so worthless. This box is for Miss Sixth." "The old lady is thinking about her old friend and is a little thicker. Please don't be offended, Miss Second."
Zhu pointed her finger at one of the boxes, feeling very calm.
Qingguan admired in his heart.
The Jiang family acts openly and aboveboard, never hiding anything, and likes to put everything in plain sight so that no one can make mistakes. If the second sister could marry into such a family, she would benefit from it for life.
Qingguan had a small idea in mind.
Qingzhi blushed.
I originally only invited Sixth Sister, but I came with him. I was already shameless. It would be embarrassing to collect things again.
"Take it, second sister." Qingguan knew that she had a thin face.
Qingzhi scolded: "You are so brave, why don't you thank grandma quickly?"
Qingguan didn't reply and smiled.
"Thank you, grandma."
"Thank you, the things belong to our ancestors. When our ancestors recover from illness, it won't be too late to kowtow a few more times."
Although Mrs. Zhu had a smile on her face, her eyes looked at the two sisters suspiciously, and she suppressed all the words in her heart.
"This one must be knocked down. It's just that my ancestor's illness may take a few days to recover. Please ask grandma to send a message to us sisters back home." Qingguan reminded softly. The seven-day traveling needle must stay in this mansion. Otherwise, if he doesn't come and go again and again, the Gu family will definitely expose his fault.
