Zhao Jingyan sneered and said: "Hmph, it's easy to break off one hand. Who asked Su Ziyu to help Madman Yin fight last time? With my character, I naturally want to avenge my private revenge."
Jiang Hongwen took a long breath, originally because of the group fight at the Zhenguogong Mansion last time.
"By the way, Tinglin, what kind of hatred do you have with Yin Lifeng?"
A cold light flashed in Zhao Jingyan's eyes, so fast that no one could catch it, "No hatred, no hatred, I just feel unhappy with him, so what?"
Jiang Hongwen extended his thumb and said sincerely: "You are awesome. Are the gossips about Yin Lifeng outside these two days your handiwork?"
"Of course it's my handiwork. I did it, and I never defaulted on my debts?" Zhao Jingyan shook her fan loudly. Who knew that this kid had such low legs that he actually ran to look for Gu Liu.
Jiang Hongwen took a deep look at him, with a deep sense of inquiry in his eyes.
Zhao Jingyan stood up fiercely, put away her fan, and said, "Let's go, those beasts from the Ministry of Finance are still waiting. We must help Gu Liu get things done before we can go to her in a clear and honest manner."
"You..." Jiang Hongwen was stunned.
"Hongwen, Hongwen, your cousin and I have been dreaming about her in the past two days. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhao Jingyan's narrow eyes exuded a compelling light.
All night long.
It was already dawn when Qingguan returned to Gu Mansion. Yueniang and Chunni kept watch all night as usual.
Qingguan felt distressed and ordered the two of them to go back to their room to rest, leaving Caiyun and Qiuyue to wash up, and then got into the quilt to catch up on their sleep.
The general slept for an hour, and the crowing rooster had already begun to crow. With a pair of green eyes, Qing Guan went to the elder's room to say hello, and then went back to the room after going around in a circle.
Feeling sleepy, she fell asleep. Little did she know that she had just slept for half an hour when an uninvited guest arrived in the yard.
Qing Guan held up her eyelids and looked at Wu Yanling, who was like a hibiscus emerging from water. She squeezed out a smile and said, "What kind of wind brought my sister here."
Wu Yanling never thought that Gu Qingwan would fall asleep again in broad daylight, and said with a chuckle: "My sister must have caught a thief yesterday, why are the corners of her eyes green."
Qingguan smiled half-heartedly and said, "We're just going to catch a thief."
Wu Yanling only thought she was crazy and didn't care. A half-mad, half-stupid person who is neither illiterate nor a prostitute can do anything else if he just sleeps.
She took out a purse from her arms and said, "I made one for my sister when I had time. You can wear it and play with it."
For women in the boudoir, exchanging gifts is the first step in social interactions. Wu Yanling extended an olive branch, but Qingguan was secretly on guard.
If you are showing courtesy for nothing, you must be asking for something. Qingguan pretended to be surprised and said: "This purse is so beautiful, Yue Niang, please help me put it on."
Seeing her snatching her away, Wu Yanling said with a smile: "Sixth sister, sister, I want to ask you something?"
Qingguan was puzzled. She had to ask for something as soon as she gave away the purse. With Wu Yanling's mind, she did this a bit impatiently.
"What do you want to ask me about, sister?"
"Sixth sister, what kind of person is the ancestor of the Jiang family?"
Qingguan smiled and said: "He is a good person, a very good person."
"In the Jiang family, who wins the favor of the ancestors the most?" Wu Yanling's voice was trembling.
As soon as these words came out, Qingguan's heart tightened. In the capital, only a three-year-old child knows about the ancestors' pet peeves.
Looking at Wu Yanling's face, Qingguan said: "Sister Ling, the one who is most favored is the seventh master Jiang Hongwen."
Wu Yanling knew it well and showed an appropriately surprised look, "It's him, shouldn't it?"
Qingguan saw the look of shock on her face, as if she had seen a ghost, which was quite exaggerated, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why shouldn't it be?"
Wu Yanling was waiting for this sentence.
"I heard that the seventh master of the Jiang family is a demon king in troubled times. Our ancestors have no time to hate such a person, so how can we love him like a treasure? Sixth sister, please tell me quickly."
He originally came for Jiang Hongwen. Could it be that Prince Lao Qing's Mansion was interested in him for Wu Yanling
Qingguan came back to his senses and shook his head honestly.
Wu Yanling was filled with hatred. She was such a fool. She didn't know anything. Why did you go to Jiang Mansion
Qingguan did not ignore the sarcasm in her eyes, yawned long and said, "Sister Ling, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Wu Yanling wanted to inquire about Jiang Hongwen, but was afraid that if she asked too deeply, she would be suspected. After thinking about it for a few times, she quietly stood up and said coldly: "There is nothing more to ask. You can rest. I Go ahead."
Yueniang and others left, stepped forward and said with a frown: "Miss, after listening to this for a long time, I still don't understand what she is doing here?"
Qingguan pinched the purse in her hand, looked over it twice and said, "Yue Niang, I don't understand her purpose. But there is one thing I can be sure of."
"Miss, what's the matter?"
"The princess is interested in the Jiang family for Wu Yanling."
"Jiang family?" Yueniang was shocked.
"Miss, why bother trying to please that fool? You're wasting your wallet." Dong'er walked out of the yard and spat hard behind her.
Even the old princess was full of praise for the young lady's embroidery skills.
Wu Yanling herself felt uninterested and felt bitter in her heart.
Dong'er knew something about the young lady's thoughts, and thought for a while and said: "Miss, why don't you tell the princess clearly, the princess will definitely make the decision for the young lady."
Wu Yanling's face looked a little ugly. Why didn't she want to tell her mother clearly? How could she, a girl from a girl's family, say such words
What's more, those scoundrels in the Gu family always keep their eyes on her, and if she does anything wrong, they won't laugh it off.
"It's not my place to say anything about marriage, my parents' orders, or the matchmaker's words."
Dong'er thought for a while and said, "If not, go and ask the old princess. The old princess loves the young lady the most."
Wu Yanling shook her head. It wasn't that far yet. What she wanted to know now was just him.
"Why don't the Jiang family invite lunatics to live in their house recently?"
"I heard that my ancestor is recuperating from illness. When he recovers, maybe someone will be sent to pick him up."
Wu Yanling counted the days and was speechless for a moment.
What happened at Wanhua Tower was like throwing a stone on the lake. After a few ripples were made, there was no more sound.
Although Qingguan didn't know the reason, he knew that it must be Zhao Jingyan's handiwork. Only he had the ability to defeat the wise king.
As she expected, the man in command of the troops and horses of the five cities did not move. It was Qiu Daoxin, the fifth son-in-law of the Su family. It seems that, as Shi Minwei expected, there was quite a stir in the bank matter, and Zhao Jingyan was able to distinguish the priorities.
What puzzled Qingguan was that even though the bank was ready to open, why didn't that guy make any move? What was he waiting for
Qingguan couldn't think of a reason, so he had to calm down and wait and see what happened. News came from the south that the Shi family had set off from Hangzhou Pier. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to enter Beijing in another month.
Qingguan pinched the letter and smiled happily.
Yueniang combed the last strand of hair, put down the comb and asked, "Miss, why don't you wear a hairpin today? That hairpin is too plain."
Qing Guan stretched out her slender hand, took the white jade hairpin and inserted it into her head.
"It's just a greeting. What are you doing with such a handsome face?"
As soon as Qingguan walked to Shou'an Hall, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere today. In addition to the first and second bedrooms, there was also Aunt Zhang from the second bedroom sitting aside.
What surprised her even more was that her father, who had not been seen for a few days, suddenly sat next to the princess drinking tea. Counting the days, today is Xiu Mu, and all officials are on holiday.
Second Master Gu was wearing a sapphire blue embroidered bamboo brocade robe, and he was full of heroic spirit. Except for the few scratches on his face that slightly detracted from the scenery, he looked very wealthy.
Human and dog-like.
Qingguan cursed in his heart, turned his eyes away, and landed on Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was pregnant for two months and looked good. Her face was pink and white with a hint of red. She sat there quietly, which added to her beauty.
An aunt of the Zhang family could appear at Shou'an Hall to pay her respects. It seemed that the master and his wife attached great importance to the child in her belly, and they may not have meant to warn the princess.
Turning his gaze towards the princess, the cyan color under his eyes was clearly visible. Although a few wrinkles were covered with powder, they were still exposed mischievously. Compared to the young Zhang family, the princess has obviously begun to age.
I heard that after her father had a fight with her that day, he stopped going to the main room and only hung out in his aunt's room. It can be seen that the two of them are still holding their breath and have not reconciled.
When a couple quarrels, they originally quarrel at the head of the bed and get together at the end of the bed. However, the second master has too many beds, so whether they get along or not is not that important.
When Gu Yanqi saw that everyone was here, he coughed and said, "In a few days, it will be spring. Zi Xuan, Zi Ye, how are your books?"
When their names were called, Young Master Gu and Second Young Master Gu quickly stood up and said, "I read at night and don't dare to be lazy for a day."
Qing Wan immediately took the handkerchief and hid the expression on her face.
As far as she knew, the two brothers did study hard night after night, but one was surrounded by a beautiful wife, and the other was surrounded by a beautiful wife. Neither of them was idle. Second Young Master Gu is slightly better, but he does have to work harder than First Young Master Gu.
Gu Yanqi saw his two grandsons studying and studying hard. He stroked his beard with great satisfaction and said: "It has been said since ancient times: Water cannot jump unless it is stirred, and people cannot be excited unless it is stirred up. Our Gu family's poetry and etiquette are passed down to our family. As the descendants of the Gu family, you must fight for the family." "Tone, this spring, we must go all out."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
The two young masters said yes.
Gu Yanqi turned his eyes and said, "It belongs to me, boss."
"My wife is here."
"In the past few days, I ordered the kitchen to cook more delicious food and feed the two children well. Don't disturb them for anything."
"Yes, sir." Zhou glanced at Huayang proudly.
Gu Yanqi looked at his youngest son and said, "Songtao, the boss is not here. If you, as an uncle, are free, please teach me more about your playing experience."
"Don't worry, father." Gu Songtao agreed.
Seeing that everything was in order, Gu Yanqi picked up the tea bowl and stirred the tea leaves, and glanced sideways at where Hua Yang was sitting from the corner of his eye. Everyone could see it clearly and said nothing as if they were watching a good show.
