Pei Qingchen's carriage stopped not long after passing the Chaoyang Gate, and Zhaoran got down from the car, and what caught his eye was a hanging mountain-style gatehouse, the rafters were carved with delicate orchid chrysanthemum and plum hairpins, the wall was a blue brick with grinding bricks, and in the middle were two dark red gates.

Pei Qingchen seemed to know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Sichengfang is next to the Ticha Yuan, and the people who live here are all nobles like the sage master, no matter how rich the Jiang Mansion is, it can only make a fuss at home." ”

Zhaoran thought that it was reasonable, he just walked a few steps forward with the onion that had not yet woken up, only to hear a "squeak", the corner door next to the gate opened, and a person who looked like a butler walked out.

When Fei Qingchen saw him, he greeted him with a smile: "Steward He." ”

Then Steward He obviously didn't go out to greet him, and when he saw Fei Qingchen at this moment, he hurriedly greeted him: "Zhao Gongzi, ...... you are today"

Fei Qingchen pointed at Zhaoran and said with a smile: "I met your young master on the road. ”

"Young Master......" Steward He looked up and down in front of him, a cotton cloth was directly embellished, a half-worn Tang scarf, his eyes were black, but his skin was also black.

In fact, it is not dark, but compared to the common Mrs. Master and Miss in He Guan's eyes, her complexion is not so moist and fair.

"His surname is Rong. Fei Qingchen nodded just right.

"Rong ......" Steward He instantly understood, it turned out to be the "foreign young master" in the countryside, although this young master had never met, but the news was never broken. First of all, there was a nine-year-old show that made the old lady and the old lady surprised, who knew that it was short-lived, and then I don't know what reason was stupid, and recently I asked people to retreat to the door, which made the old lady have a headache.

－－－－

Steward He hesitated like this, and there was the sound of horse bells ringing in front of the door, and when he turned around, he saw two tall lions dragging a carriage with treasure glazed windows coming slowly, and he didn't see anyone driving it, and when he arrived at the door of Jiang's mansion, the two fierce horses stopped in good training.

Fei Qingchen's carriage was already good, but compared with the carriage behind him, it was obvious that they felt as if they had come in an ox cart.

"Prince Toyama. Steward He immediately greeted him.

Fei Qingchen quickly said in Zhaoran's ear: "Fu Heng, the famous genius of Changshan in the capital, Fu Yusheng." ”

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, the general inside put down the white jade wine jug in his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, I just drank a few sips of a pot of wine and arrived at your house." ”

The maid who lifted the curtain pursed her lips and smiled: "Childe, if you take a few more sips, you should be drunk." ”

"It's going to be so easy to get drunk there. The man was teased by the servant and did not care, and the servant helped him down from the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Zhao Ran was surprised that the person in such a luxurious carriage was dressed so simply, wearing a pale cyan cloth robe, his hair was slightly curly, his skin was that kind of tea and honey color, his forehead was slightly high, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, his nose was thin and his lips were thin, and his facial features were very handsome.

"Good skin!" After a while, he said with certainty in his heart, this person is not a stunning skin, but he is very attractive, and the more he looks at it, the more he tastes it.

"Oh, it turns out that Lu Li is also here, could it be that he came to ask for a hexagram today?" Fu Heng saw Fei Qingchen in a blink of an eye.

Fei Qingchen said with a smile: "Lu Li is no better than Changshan Gongzi, Old Man Jiang's hexagram is not something that Xiaosheng can ask for lightly, I just sent this Young Master Rong back to his house." ”

"I had some feelings about stargazing yesterday, but today I just wanted to exchange my thoughts with the old lady. After Fu Heng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Ran and smiled lightly, "You are the nine-year-old Xiu Cai Rong Xian, right?"

"Don't dare. Zhaoran hurriedly shook his head, he didn't want to be remembered by a talented man, not to mention that he really didn't know anything now.

Steward He waited for Fu Heng to finish speaking, and then said continuously: "Open the front door quickly." ”

As soon as the door opened, Fu Heng walked in and said with a smile: "I can't wait for the old man for a long time, I still have to have two drinks with him." ”

As soon as his words fell, the gate of Jiang's Mansion was fully opened, and Steward He respectfully welcomed him into the door, but it was clear that the young master who had come to join the foreign family followed him in like a fish in troubled water.

Fei Qingchen just wanted to turn his head and leave, but Steward He hurriedly stopped him: "If the old lady knows that Zhao Gongzi is here, but I didn't leave you, I will definitely blame the villain, and ask Zhao Gongzi to go to the hall for tea together." ”

Fei Qingchen had no choice but to turn his head and keep up with Zhaoran's footsteps.

－－－－

Out of the gatehouse, Jiang Mansion is a more than ten feet wide wordless wall, covered with glazed owl kiss, Zhao Ran thought of Forsythia said that the princess's mansion took an inch of gold glass to pave the warm house when how proud and proud, but Jiang Mansion is to use glass to pave tiles, lifting weights as light, Zhao Ran thought that it was as the mother said.

Steward He didn't forget Zhaoran, welcomed him into the outer hall, and let people serve tea.

Zhaoran drank tea with Fei Qingchen for a while, and then heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.

As soon as he put down the tea bowl, a woman with white temples was already standing in the doorway, she was not young, but her facial features were still vaguely distinguishable that she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young.

Zhao Ran thought that this □□ was the old lady of Jiang Mansion, his grandmother, and he immediately shouted enthusiastically: "Grandma!"

The old lady came in a hurry with tears in her eyes, thinking that what she saw must be the grandson of Xiao Nu, and she had already appeared in her mind the appearance of Zhaoran, with pink face and red lips, and the key was that she had her daughter's autumn water-like pupils.

How do you know that she stood at the door and looked, there was a country boy with a yellow face and thin muscles, his head was bigger than his body, and he looked at some bean sprouts that seemed to be overgrown from a distance, and when he raised his head, he looked like he was dead and alive for the three acres of land in his family, and he refused to enter the family's three acres of land, and he had to marry his palm pearl and get it to the countryside, and the white-eyed wolf who was rarely heard from now on was exactly the same.

"Grandma!" Zhao Ran shouted again.

"My ...... Good grandson. The old lady looked at Zhaoran and pulled her sleeve a little dryly.

"Fei Gongzi is also here. A beautiful young woman next to her smiled lightly.

The old lady's face immediately sank, Fei Qingchen robbed Rong Xian's relatives and others didn't know, of course they, the masters of the Jiang Mansion, knew.

"I don't know what advice Fei Gongzi has when he comes to my house. The old lady said coldly.

Fei Qingchen got up and saluted: "I happened to meet Brother Rong on the road, so I sent him back by the way." ”

Zhaoran nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Fei's people are very good, they bought me this and that all the way, and said that they would marry me a few wives." ”

The young woman glanced at Zhaoran and thought that she was really a fool, and the girl next to her who looked like a flower and jade couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the old lady's face was gloomy and sneered: "The people in our Jiang Mansion are not yet the turn of Fei Gongzi to marry!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Fei Qingchen hurriedly said.

The old lady didn't show any affection: "Come on, send off!"

Fei Qingchen had already been sitting on pins and needles, and immediately said after hearing this: "Junior, then leave!"

As soon as he said that, he heard the old lady say again: "Where have you gone, the door is so dirty, how did you clean it, it's all cleaned, don't dirty the guests' feet!"

As soon as her words fell, I saw several servants in black suddenly emerge from under the porch, holding big brooms in their hands, and they had no expression.

Fei Qingchen retreated until the shadow wall was already black and gray, and he bent down far away and arched his hand: "Senior Xie Jiang Old Lady rewards." ”

Zhao Ran sighed twice in his heart, and then raised his voice: "Brother Fei, you have to come again tomorrow!"

Fei Qingchen glanced at him, his eyes were simply resentful.

－－－－

Several people returned to the hall, and the girl next to them robbed Bai Zhaoran: "Are you stupid, this person robbed your fiancée, and you still asked him to come again." ”

The old lady glared at her again, then turned her head and asked the onion head who was still sleeping in the chair next to her: "This is ......?"

"It's my nephew, his health is not very good, so I took him to the capital to find a doctor to have a look. Zhao Ran casually pulled up a reason.

When Mrs. Jiang saw that the onion head was soft and fluffy, like a dough, her heart immediately softened a little, and she hurriedly instructed the servant to carry the onion head down first and place it on a comfortable bed.

Then she turned her head and introduced to Zhao Ran: "This is your cousin Biqiao." Then he pointed to the young woman and said, "This is your aunt." ”

"Cousin, aunt. Zhao Ran said.

The old lady looked at Jiang Biqiao and said, "It's not called cousin yet." ”

Jiang Biqiao looked up and down at Zhaoran, and she couldn't look down on it, so she reluctantly shouted: "Cousin!"

Mrs. Jiang seemed to know her daughter's temperament, so she said, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you had a gift to send to your cousin, and now that someone else is here, why don't you hurry up and get it." ”

Jiang Biqiao frowned and was puzzled: "When did I say that?"

Zhaoran wanted to laugh in his heart, this ginger is more beautiful than Qiao, but unfortunately he doesn't have a brain.

Mrs. Jiang's face couldn't help but drift through a hint of redness, and she pinched Jiang Biqiao's arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't go quickly." ”

Jiang Biqiao saw that her mother was annoyed, so she had to go out and run.

－－－－

As soon as she went out, she thought of going to her grandfather to complain, and on weekdays, her grandfather was obedient to her, as long as she went to cry at this moment, her grandfather had a bad impression of him before he saw the country boy.

Jiang Biqiao is actually not stupid, but she doesn't like to use her brain, as soon as she appears, she sensitively feels that this person will be a serious threat to her future status in the family, so she wants to nip this threat in the bud.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard of the study, she heard her grandfather raise his voice in surprise: "You say it's pretty?"

Jiang Biqiao almost subconsciously paused, only to hear a strange man's voice reply: "Master Ma doesn't know when I met Biqiao, but I have a deep affection for her, I know that this matter is very difficult for your house, but the marriage in front of me is a good way to get out of the predicament." Besides, I have probed the princess's tone, she has no heirs for many years, but she is willing to let the concubine take another concubine, as long as she can inherit a house of heirs to her. ”

Jiang Biqiao heard it like a bolt from the blue, there is only one grandchild like her in the Jiang Mansion, so although she is a girl, she almost grew up in the palm of her hand, even the strictest old lady Jiang will naturally respond to her needs as long as she thinks of her lost daughter.

She never thought that she would be taken by the family to marry, let alone be a concubine, the only thing she thought of was to hurry up and find her grandmother and mother-in-law, so she didn't hear the sentence behind Mrs. Jiang: "No matter how difficult the Jiang family is, there is no reason to use her granddaughter as a stepping stone!"

－－－－

Jiang Biqiao rushed back to the front hall with tears all the way, and what caught her eye was a family carnival scene with a harmonious atmosphere, Mrs. Jiang smiled while letting Zhaoran pinch her shoulders: "This child doesn't look like Lan'er at first glance, but as long as you look closely, the expression is exactly the same as Lan'er, and you can't be wrong if you want to misidentify it." ”

Mrs. Jiang listened with a smile, turned her head and saw her daughter with tears on her face, and couldn't help blurting out: "Biqiao, what's wrong with you?"

Old Madam Jiang also said in surprise: "Biqiao, what are you crying about?"

Jiang Biqiao cried breathlessly, and looked at the full house: "Grandmother, mother, grandpa wants to marry me to the concubine of the concubine." ”

Zhao Ran suddenly pinched it elsewhere, and Mrs. Jiang said "oh yo", but she didn't have time to pay attention to it, and hurriedly asked, "Which colt?"

"I don't know, I just know that the princess has never had a child, and she said that she wants me to give birth to a child in the future! Mother, I don't want to be a concubine for that concubine!" Jiang Biqiao plunged into Mrs. Jiang's arms.

Old Madam Jiang was so angry that her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This old bastard is really getting older and more confused, I told him back then, don't marry Lan'er to that stupid calf, he has to say that he has a promise, he regards his spit as more important than his daughter." If he really wants to marry Biqiao like this nonsense, I'll fight with him!"

Zhaoran had to pretend not to hear Mrs. Jiang's series of dislike for her own Lao Tzu, Mrs. Jiang got up and walked out of the hall angrily, obviously looking for Mrs. Jiang to settle accounts.

Zhao Ran wanted to go over and take a look, Jiang Biqiao moved in Mrs. Jiang's arms, as if she was also a little moved, but Mrs. Jiang said, "Let's sit down and drink dessert." ”

－－－－

Mrs. Jiang did not reappear until dinner, and her face was not very good, and it seemed that the matter was not so easy to solve.

After dinner, Mrs. Jiang called Zhaoran into the study, asked about the current situation of Rongjiazhuang, closed her eyes and pondered for a while before saying: "If you returned to the capital a few years ago, your grandfather would still be able to find a future for you, but now that you are back, I am afraid that it will affect you." That's it, you're here, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei will also know about it, so you can settle down first. ”

Zhao Ran could obviously feel that something was happening in the Jiang Mansion, and Old Lady Jiang was also a little absent-minded.

When he went out of the study, a servant came to take him back to his room, and although the yard was hastily cleaned up, the house was warmed with new bedding and a charcoal stove.

The onion head had woken up, was nestled in bed and angry, and pointed to his mouth as soon as he saw Zhaoran.

The servant who served him hurriedly said, "The villain feeds him, but he doesn't eat." ”

Zhaoran waved his hand and asked her to go down, the Jiang Mansion had not yet allocated a servant for him, so he sent the maid away, and only him and the onion were left in the room.

There was a whole roast chicken on the table, which was prepared by Jiang Fu according to his instructions, but it took a lot of effort to persuade Mrs. Jiang to let people prepare a roast chicken instead of going to find a wet nurse.

He tore some chicken and gave it to the onion, which he ate happily, saying the only word he could say, "Stinky!"

This is probably an indirect explanation of why he didn't eat the food handed by the servant.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but have a toothache, and this kid still picked someone to serve.

Fortunately, the onion head fell asleep after eating, and Zhaoran was also happy to be quiet, and just wanted to undress and lie down to rest for a while, when he heard the sound of "crackling" outside the door.

He walked over and pulled the door, and a small guy outside the door saw him with his clothes open and quickly covered his face and said, "You quickly put on your clothes!"

The voice is crisp and delicate, it is Jiang Biqiao's voice.

Zhao Ran didn't fit his clothes either, but said, "What are you looking for me?"

Jiang Biqiao turned around and saw that Zhaoran's clothes were still open, so she covered her face again and said angrily: "You are too shameless, you don't put your clothes on." ”

Zhaoran replied: "You ran to my window at night to peep, and you still think that I am wearing less clothes, and I haven't even taken off my middle coat?!"

Jiang Biqiao opened her fingers, and when she saw that Zhaoran really just untied her shirt, she put down her hand and raised her neck and said, "For your sake, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

"No, don't go!" he said, raising his hand and closing the door.

Jiang Biqiao was anxious, and hurriedly blocked it with his hand: "I want you to accompany me out of the door." ”

Zhaoran said: "You can't even find half a servant, it can be seen that accompanying you out is not a beautiful trip, why should I accompany you to bad luck when I first arrive!"

Jiang Biqiao's eyes were red and she shouted: "I knew that you all wanted to push me into the fire pit so that you would have a peaceful life!"

Zhaoran looked at the tears rolling in her eyes and sighed, "Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Biqiao put away her tears and said: "I heard the porter say that when grandpa sent that Chang Gongzi to the door, that Chang Shan Gongzi told him, he made an appointment with the master of the horse to meet at a place tonight, and I want you to accompany me to meet the horse there!"
