Jiang Chengzi heard from the conversation between the two that this concubine seemed to have something else hidden, so he asked, "Madam, I don't know who this concubine of the King of Shu is?"

"Does Ah Zhi know the Lanling Xiao Clan?" asked Mrs. Qin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Madam is confused, the old lady of her Yang family is now the Lanling Xiao family. King Shu's maternal grandmother is also the Lanling Xiao family. Qin Shubao interjected.

Jiang Chengzi suddenly understood a little, this side concubine seemed to be not small, and asked, "Could it be that this side concubine is also from the Lanling Xiao family?"

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "It's from the Lanling Xiao clan." Speaking of which, this girl is three years older than the King of Shu. ”

"Oh, as the folk saying goes, 'female juniors, hug gold bricks'. The King of Shu is so blessed. Jiang Chengzi said sourly.

Ah Zhi's words sounded very sad. Mrs. Qin quipped.

Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes, and did not answer Mrs. Qin, but said: "I heard that there are many beauties in the Xiao family of Lanling, this Concubine Xiao is three years older than the King of Shu, and it is precisely because the means are long, she must be a beauty who has captivated the country and the city." ”

Mrs. Qin hid her face and ate and laughed on the side, Qin Shubao shook his head and said solemnly: "A-Ying, don't tease this child, this child is sad." ”

Jiang Chengzi's mood is still not high, but it is no longer as angry and uncomfortable as when he first heard that Li Ke accepted the side concubine. She is not a child, nor is she a woman who knows nothing about history.

Jiang Chengzi paused, stood by the screen, and said, "But according to Mrs. Qin's orders." ”

"What to say or not to command, that is, you and I have a few small talks. Mrs. Qin made the bed and put a small porcelain pillow with lotus leaves on the bed before saying, "Ah Zhi, do you know when I met your Uncle Qin?"

Jiang Chengzi didn't know what this Mrs. Qin was going to say, Xu just wanted to chat. She didn't care, she just shook her head honestly.

"I, I met you Uncle Qin when I was seven years old. At that time, there was no great chaos in the world, but it was not peaceful. My mother and I went to the Taoist temple to do business, and although we brought enough 30 families to protect the courtyard, we still met thieves, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, they robbed property, and killed people. Mrs. Qin paused at this point, sighed and said, "My poor eldest sister and aunt died in this catastrophe. ”

Jiang Chengzi was silent, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he stood aside and listened carefully. Fortunately, Mrs. Qin didn't need Jiang Chengzi to respond, so she only sighed and said, "My mother and I originally thought that we would also die in that robbery, but someone shouted and repelled those thieves and saved me." Ah Zhi, you are not, that person is your Uncle Qin. At that time, he was only seventeen years old, dressed in a gray cloth with narrow sleeves and a cloth scarf to tie his hair, and jumped down from the red horse, walked up to me, and asked me if I was hurt.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin sighed twice and said with a smile: "That sound is like the murmuring of a mountain spring, like a spring breeze." ”

"Well, it was a very, very strange encounter. Jiang Chengzi originally thought that it was a very beautiful encounter, an extremely handsome young man in the world, who saved her life, slowly got off the horse, stood in front of her, and his voice was like a spring breeze. However, this is really not beautiful, her sister and aunt are dead, and her mother is also injured. Therefore, she stammered and described "extremely beautiful" as "extremely peculiar".

"Well, it's beautiful, like a dream. "It's about a long time ago, Mrs. Qin was only seven years old at that time, and it was about that meeting that was too beautiful, so that nightmarish robbery didn't leave any shadow on Mrs. Qin's heart. Speaking of it at this moment, she still seems to remember only the most beautiful part.

Jiang Chengzi thought silently, Mrs. Qin is very good like this.

"From that moment, somehow, I suddenly understood that I would see him in the future, and I would grow up quickly and marry him. You can only marry him. When Mrs. Qin said this, she hid her face and smiled shyly, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, do you think I'm crazy to listen?"

Jiang Chengzi shook his head honestly and said, "No." I think that's good. ”

"Pretty good?" Mrs. Qin looked at Jiang Chengzi.

Jiang Chengzi nodded and said very seriously: "It is a great blessing to be able to meet the person who is destined very early. ”

She used to envy those who met love, but she never could meet, nor could she meet the kind of madness that those people said, she felt that her heart was water that could never be boiled.

"Yes, it is indeed a blessing. Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement, and while sitting on the Luohan bed, she ordered someone to boil water and make tea. After giving instructions to others, he continued, "Since then, I have been learning all kinds of skills by heart. Female red, archery, horseback riding, swordsmanship, cooking, clothes, shoes. I also inquired about the woman he was engaged to, befriended her, and reintroduced her to a good family business. ”

Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and admired: "High, it's really high." ”

Mrs. Qin said proudly, "Of course. Once I do, I won't give up. ”

Jiang Chengzi smiled, but couldn't help muttering in his heart: So what? Mrs. Qin, what are you going to tell me? Are you really just talking to me?

She thought that with Qin Shubao's current physical condition, Mrs. Qin definitely didn't have much time to chat with her. Mrs. Qin brought her here, and also made the bed herself, saying that these old things should be paving the way for something.

However, even if he knew that Mrs. Qin was paving the way for something else, Jiang Chengzi couldn't directly tell Mrs. Qin not to beat around the bush and let people say it directly.

So, she listened patiently. Mrs. Qin talked about her encounter with Qin Shubao about the same thing, so she made a summary and said, "Ah Zhi, you see, I understood when I was seven years old that I didn't have to marry him. Therefore, I don't treat you like a doll when I face you, after all, you are really ten years old. I was four years older than when I met your Uncle Qin, and I was still a young man at that time!"

"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi nodded respectfully.

Madame Qin was very happy, so she said, "Therefore, I have seen everything between you and the King of Shu today. ”

"Ah, what did I do with him?" Jiang Chengzi has always acted boldly, and he has always been thinking about Li Ke in his heart, thinking about how to avoid that tragic fate. But in front of others, she is still very shy. Besides, that guy also accepted the side concubine, and she was awkward in her heart.

"Ah Zhi, are you pretending to be with Aunt Qin? Earlier, you heard that the King of Shu had a side concubine, and I saw your expression and behavior. Mrs. Qin said proudly.

"I don't have it, what does it have to do with me!" Jiang Chengzi said in a hurry, a little angry. Because she was unhappy when she thought that he had a side concubine, she was sullen in her heart, and she couldn't wait to see him.

Mrs. Qin laughed, with a look of "I understand that I am from the past", and said in a few cases: "I understand, I understand, you are still minding the matter of the concubine of the king of Shu." ”

"I didn't. Jiang Chengzi is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he doesn't believe it when he says this, and he doesn't have any confidence.

"You, there's nothing to be shy about in front of me. As far as you say, it is a blessing to meet people you like when you are young. Madame Qin sighed.

"But not everyone has such a blessing as Aunt Qin. Jiang Chengzi whispered. It was only with great difficulty that she calmed herself down, and now that Mrs. Qin had come to mention this stubble again, she felt so sad and angry when she heard it.

"Ah Zhi, you and him will have to face the matter of the side concubine sooner or later. Originally, this matter had to wait for a coincidence, and it was up to him to tell you. But just now I looked at your stubbornness, if I don't want to stop it, you have to follow the king of Shu. I know your thoughts, and I have been like you many times, longing to stand side by side with my beloved, to withstand all hardships and hardships. However, this child's heart is good, but sometimes it happens to distract the beloved. That's why I've come up with this decision and put a dose of medicine on you. Mrs. Qin said slowly.

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips, stood up, bowed, and said, "It was my aunt who reminded me in time and made me prepared, and Ah Zhi thanked my aunt." ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she knew that the knot in the girl's heart had not been untied, so she sighed and said, "That's it, this matter started because of me, and I will deal with it." ”

"Auntie, you don't have to bother, Ah Zhi is definitely not a person looking for death and life. Now, Uncle Qin's injuries need to be taken care of, and please don't worry about such trivial matters as me. Jiang Chengzi stood in front of Mrs. Qin with his head down.

Now, she didn't want to hear a little bit about Concubine Li Ke. Madam Qin shook her head and rejected her suggestion, saying, "If I don't settle this matter, I won't be able to sleep well, are you willing to let me, an old man, have trouble sleeping?" Otherwise, he hangs all the time, always hurting his nerves. ”

Everyone has said this, Jiang Chengzi can't shirk the refusal anymore, not to mention that Qin Shubao's injury is really serious. As she meditated, she probed his breath very weakly.

Therefore, Jiang Chengzi stood there with his eyebrows lowered and said, "Fang is Ah Zhi is not thoughtful, too willful, and I ask Aunt Qin to forgive me." ”

"Good boy, don't be so polite to me. Mrs. Qin got up and took Jiang Chengzi's hand.

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi replied obediently.

Mrs. Qin laughed, patted her hands, and said while getting up and fiddling with the tea set: "Let's see if my tea-making technique is still authentic? After all, this tea-making skill is from your Yang family's sixth room." Ah Wu also said that you invented it. ”

"Auntie, my mother and I had nothing to do, and I chatted with the local farmers when I was in the green. Jiang Chengzi said nonsense.

"It's really a blue heart. Mrs. Qin praised a few more words. Then, she made tea intently, one cup per person, and the two of them sat down around a few cases. Mrs. Qin said slowly: "Ah Zhi, the King of Shu is a good boy. The general and I watched him grow up, he was an extremely smart child, and this concubine was also forced to do so. ”

"Forced to do so?" Jiang Chengzi couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Qin. Madam Qin nodded solemnly, not as if she was coaxing her.

"How can you force it?" Jiang Chengzi asked again.

Mrs. Qin paused, didn't say it directly, and asked rhetorically: "Ah Zhi, do you know which family your Yang family's head mother is from?"

"The one who is in charge now is naturally the Lanling Xiao family, and my grandmother is from the Luoyang Wang family. Jiang Chengzi replied truthfully, faintly feeling that this Concubine Li Ke seemed to have something to do with Mrs. Yang again?

"Concubine Xiao of Emperor Sui of the former dynasty, and Empress Xiao of the later dynasty are also from the Xiao clan of Lanling. Madam Qin sighed.

"This is to know, the mother of the King of Shu is the daughter of Empress Xiao. Jiang Chengzi said.

"Back then, the mother of the King of Shu was fostered in Hongnong Yang because of her birthday. However, she is a princess after all. The emperor's marriage was also decided by the emperor. When Mrs. Qin said this, she frowned and shook her head and said, "I shouldn't say this, after all, it is the current concubine, your future mother-in-law." ”

When Jiang Chengzi heard the word "mother-in-law", his face turned red involuntarily. Mrs. Qin also saw it in her eyes, but pretended not to see it, and continued: "If you want to talk about the marriage between the King of Shu and this side concubine, it's really no wonder that the King of Shu, after all, he was still in the belly of the concubine at that time, and he was set by his grandmother. ”

"What? It's settled in the stomach? They don't know men and women?" Jiang Chengzi was speechless when he heard this.

Madame Qin looked at her and said in surprise: "How can you not know men and women? There are so many gynecological holy hands in the court, and they are more accurate than one by one. At that time, Concubine Shu was pregnant with a male fetus. ”

"Well, healers still have such skills. I really don't know. Jiang Chengzi was a little embarrassed. She knew that Chinese medicine was magical, and she had also come into contact with Wang Jingtian and his disciples, but she never asked about such a thing.

"It's normal for you to not know, after all, you're still a little girl. Mrs. Qin said.

Jiang Chengzi nodded hurriedly and said, "I really didn't expect the doctor to have such ability. ”

It's not easy for Mrs. Qin to continue this topic, no matter how powerful this girl is, she is just a girl. It's better to wait for her to talk about this kind of topic after she becomes a wife. So, Mrs. Qin filtered the matter in a few words and continued to talk about Concubine Li Ke.

said that this Yang Shufei originally liked the prince to build, but Li Shimin was brave and good at fighting. At that time, careerists rebelled everywhere, and Li Shimin was ordered to exterminate the traitors and fight bravely. In order to entrap him and make him their own, Emperor Yang of Sui and Empress Xiao gave the princess to Li Shimin.

In this way, Concubine Yang Shu was given to Li Shimin. But Li Shimin already has the eldest grandson in the family and has a son. And the father of the eldest grandson was a great hero of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Yang could not be sorry for the great hero, so Yang Shufei joined the Li family at that time, and she was only a flat wife, not a main house.

Later, Concubine Shu became pregnant and was diagnosed with a male fetus. Not long after, Concubine Yang Shu was in distress and happened to be rescued by the third child of the Lanling Xiao family. Li Shimin thanked the third child of the Xiao family, who had a daughter who was three years old, and said that he would marry at that time.

"Just rescued?" Jiang Chengzi frowned, feeling that there was something else hidden here.

Mrs. Qin smiled, and did not explain the situation at that time, but said: "This court member, most of the people who have a little talent and ability, but they are all married to the Xiao family. This Xiao family is the best at marrying a daughter. ”
