Chapter 51: The Missing Wei Qian
Hongchun looked at the mirror quietly, this mirror was a diorama that Wei Qian bought from a Western merchant at a great price. It is inlaid with gilt on a huge jade plum screen.
The figure reflected in the mirror is not Hongchun, but Wei Qian in white clothes.
Hongchun looked at the mirror and was anxious: "Miss has been missing for a few days, why haven't you been in touch yet?" β
Since Wei Qian fell into the cliff as Feng Youmeng, Lin Ruhai hurriedly sent people down the mountain to look for her. But for some reason, there was no trace, only a puddle of flesh and blood.
As a result, the news of Feng Youmeng's death reached Jinling. Jia Mei fainted on the spot, Mrs. Huang was already terminally ill, and now she passed out.
Wei Qian is missing! Xuanyun sensed it at the first time through the guΓ² red line. So he asked Hongchun to pretend to be Wei Qian at home, and hurried to find someone by himself.
Not to mention her, even Lingyun secretly divined the stars, but there was still no trace, and Wei Qian's current location could not be found at all. Only through the astrological signs, it can be seen that Wei Qian is not dead, but further details cannot be explored.
It is said that it is covered by starlight, and Wei Qian is currently in a mysterious realm, which is inconvenient for outsiders to peep into.
The secrets in these immortal paths are unknown to others. But there is another theory circulating in Jinling City.
"Wei Family Girl Kefu!"
There is Huang Bao in the front, Feng Youmeng in the back, and Wei Qian's father died early, so there is Kefuke's father's evil star statement.
The rumors set off a storm in the city under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and although Wei Fu came forward to defend himself, he was speechless under the ironclad facts.
"If Miss doesn't come back, things will not be easy to handle here!" Hongchun stirred the handkerchief and said in her heart: "The old lady has always believed in God, and this time she has believed in the rumors for three points, and she has the heart to find another family for the young lady." If the young lady doesn't come back, what if it's time to get a goof? β
Tao Ping ran over in a hurry. Wei Qian's disappearance, except for Hongchun, Tao Ping and the people of Dou Mu Temple, even a confidant like Xiangling is not clear. She only knew that Wei Qian was doing something, and only told Xiangling to guard the gate and not let outsiders disturb her.
"Your Highness, how is my young lady?"
"There's no news from Dou Mu Temple yet. The master was not in a hurry at all, saying that it was providential. Tao Ping secretly gritted her teeth, if she couldn't beat Lingyun, she would be ready to whip it over!
"But Xuanyun has already gone to find it, so it should be fine." Tao Ping looked around, only herself and Hongchun, who was dressed as Wei Qian, hesitated and said: "On the way back, I heard a lot of rumors, how are you in the house?" β
Hongchun smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Miss's self-marriage is too high-end, but unfortunately there is a business trip in the first ring, and we can't keep up with it, so we have to follow the problem." The most important thing is that if the young lady is getting married, it will be fine, but now that she has just made a marriage contract, this thing will happen. Anyone has to think about what happened to the son of the Huang family at the beginning. β
Isn't it? Huang Bao ran away from home after getting engaged, and it didn't take a few days before and after!
Outsiders saw Wei Qian "killing" her two fiancΓ©s, and they didn't know how to chew the root of their tongue behind their backs!
"Miss's usual style, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has also seen it. Most of the ladies and eunuchs maintain facial etiquette, and the only ones who really have a good relationship are the young grandmother of Rongguo Mansion and Miss Zhen of the Gu family. This time there were rumors, thanks to Miss Gu's help to explain. β
But Gu Zhenzhen is a female streamer, and she is a lady who stays at home, and the only way she can think of is to change the topic and divert public opinion away from Wei Qian.
For example, there is actually a person who has secretly liked Wei Qian for many years. Because she couldn't get Wei Qian, she secretly attacked her fiancΓ©. Or just say that the Xue family did it! The Xue family's marriage proposal failed that day, but now they have turned against each other and plotted against Feng Youmeng, and made up their minds to let Wei Qian marry.
"Although Miss Gu has some means, it is useless in the face of rumors all over the city. Unless there is another person to propose, and live honestly until Wei Qian marries. Otherwise, let Wei Qian marry directly. Tao Ping thought of a few ideas, but thought that the person concerned was not there, and finally said helplessly: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Wei Qian is not there, and everything is in vain!" β
Hongchun didn't speak, and secretly pulled up a spirit rune to contact Xuanyun.
Xuanyun came to the place where Wei Qian was killed at this moment, and invited a friend in addition to her.
Dongfang Wen's face was a little pale, a few days ago, he fought against the Tongyuan Sect Master, and although he killed the other party in the end, he was not lightly injured. However, after receiving Xuanyun's call for help, he hurried over.
"According to your nature, you will actually ask me for help?" Dongfang Wen asked curiously, "What is the relationship between this person and you?" β
When Xuanyun slain the dragon that day, Dongfang Wen was a little concerned about this sword-dancing girl. Later, Xuanyun practiced outside, and became acquainted with Dongfang Wen after coming and going.
Xuan Yun stiffened his face: "What are you talking about, find someone quickly." "I picked up the boulder with my sword, looking for any clues.
Dongfang Wen was not surprised by this cold-feeling woman's style, and shrugged: "Let me help you find the traces of another man, are you really afraid that I will be jealous?" β
Xuan Yun ignored him and concentrated on finding Wei Qian's whereabouts. But even the two of them didn't find where Wei Qian was. On the Jinling side, the rumors spread by Gu Zhenzhen did not overwhelm the other party in the end, and all kinds of β‘β‘ were full of wind and rain. Although the people respect Wei Qian, they can't help muttering about Wei Qian's marriage.
"This girl is messing around in the temple all day long, could it be that the gods in the sky refuse to let her marry?"
I thought about it day and night, and then someone suddenly dreamed of a silver fairy in a dream. After waking up, he said that the fairy had a saying, and the daughter of the Wei family had a fate with the gods, and she needed to go to the temple to become a monk.
Although the Wei family is mainly based on the Wei Yan line, there are always some side branch relatives a few generations ago. Some people rely on the old and sell the old and come to the Weifu to lobby.
"Since the girl of the Wei family doesn't have the fate of the Red Luan Star, why don't you go directly to the Tao to practice? Anyway, she has been staying in the temple every day all these years, so it is better to officially become a monk. β
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately driven out by Jia Mei and Mrs. Wei.
But this kind of thing is quite euphemistic, and it is because of Wei Qian's reputation over the years. But other people don't have this scruples, and many jealous people directly open and close their mouths about "broom star" and "death star", and call Wei Qian a demon girl.
Mrs. Wei was furious and found a matchmaker in the city, and Jia Mei set a date to choose a new lover for Wei Qian within three days.
However, most people are taboo about Wei Qian's first two fiancΓ©s. The wives of the official families who are well-connected have closed their doors to thank customers. Who knows if what happened to Wei Qian's first two husbands is a coincidence or if there is something else. In any case, they are reluctant to let their sons suffer.
So, in the end, those who were willing to marry Wei Qian were either ordinary people who wanted to take the opportunity to go to the Wei Mansion, or Xue Pan and the sons of the Feng family.
Seeing this result, the two wives were dumbfounded.
The two pulled Aunt He, and the three of them discussed Wei Qian's marriage in the Wei Mansion.
"Among these people, if you talk about family background, you are really the strongest in the Xue family. It's just the name of a businessman...... "Old Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, she said: "Qian'er has been running a business all these years, if she marries into the Xue family, she can be regarded as having a common language, so she can't really be allowed to become a monk, right?" β
In the eyes of Mrs. Wei, becoming a monk is the worst path for a daughter's family, and it is a life of failure.
"The Xue family? I think this rumor was done by the Xue family! Jia Mei was angry in her heart: "Otherwise, if the girl of the ancient family comes forward, where did the ruffians and hooligans secretly chew the root of their tongues?" It must be that the Xue family saw that Gao couldn't climb our family, so they slandered the reputation of our girl, and then came out to be a good person and made an appearance regardless of previous suspicions. Mother, I won't let them succeed if they say anything! β
When Aunt He heard this, she couldn't help nodding: "Yes, this matter is so big, maybe my aunt's death is caused by their family." β
Jia Mei is a junior in the end, and Mrs. Wei can't listen to what she says. But after all, Aunt He was commensurate with her sister, so the old lady asked, "What does that sister think?" β
Aunt He hesitated: "Do you want to ask Qian's meaning first, she has had an idea since she was a child." Maybe she has someone else? β
When the two wives heard this, they ordered someone to invite Wei Qian to inquire.
When Hongchun saw Dailan's invitation, she was so frightened that she lost half of her soul. Although she has followed Wei Qian for many years, she is self-aware, where can she keep up with Wei Qian's train of thought? If one sentence is wrong, Wei Qian will suffer bitter fruits in the future? Still not looking for her to settle accounts?
Hongchun was hesitant and made excuses not wanting to go to Mrs. Wei. Soon, boxwood also came to urge.
Aunt He has lived in Wei Mansion all these years, and Mrs. Wei remembered that she was also old, so she prepared two people to take care of her. Huang Yang is Wei Qian's side, and later has been helping in the kitchen since getting married, and now she is a big girl next to Aunt He.
The three bigwigs saw that Dai Lan couldn't call anyone, so they asked Huang Yang to come over and invite him.
Huang Yang and Wei Qian have been together for several years, and they are also the ones who teach Hongchun by hand. As soon as he entered the door, Hongchun's heart was pounding, and every ray of Huangyang's doubtful gaze seemed to point out Hongchun's heart weakness.
So, follow the two to the backyard.
However, the people found by the matchmaker, Hongchun himself can't look down on them, let alone Wei Qian. looked back and forth, and didn't dare to make decisions for Wei Qian.
"Girl, you haven't been feeling well for the past two days?" Jia Mei looked at her daughter and always felt a sense of disobedience. Although the appearance is the same, Hongchun really can't learn Wei Qian's charm.
The self-confidence and arrogance in the gestures, as well as the unique pure spirit characteristics of the female cultivators of the Dou Mu Temple, the red toon is far behind!
Therefore, Wei Qian asked Xuanyun to pretend to be herself, after all, they are sisters of the same origin and lineage, and their temperament is somewhat similar to each other.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been worrying about it for the past few days." Hongchun whispered softly, imitating Wei Qian's usual behavior, sitting quietly on the side, her hands folded on her skirt.
"Yes, you've heard the rumors outside, but don't pay too much attention to it." Aunt He comforted: "What kind of character are you, we don't know yet?" But let's not be too anxious, in the end, it's a girl's lifelong event, why don't you let her take it back first, and give an answer tomorrow? β
The two masters made a fate, and Hongchun left with a bunch of portraits.
Back in the house, Tao Pingqi said: "Why, I thought you were going to be married over there!" β
"The idea is off for a day." Hongchun sighed: "But if Miss doesn't come back, I can't delay it!" β
"Then, you can choose the one you like!"
"What I like?" Hongchun shook her head: "How can my vision compare with Miss?" When the time comes, the young lady will be angry, and I will have no good fruit to eat! β
"If she can come back." Tao Ping held the teacup and seemed to smile: "What if she can't come back!" β
Hongchun was shocked: "You don't want me to replace me!" β
"Of course, this is the only way to completely hide it. At that time, even if she comes back, she can withdraw and concentrate on the Immortal Dao, but I have to say that it is a good idea. Of course, this is also beneficial to Tao Ping. Tao Ping, as the saint of Peng Sangguo, stays in Shenzhou every day, just to see that Wei Qian's current shipyard and orchard can increase contact with Nanyang, and wants to take the opportunity to revitalize Peng Sangguo.
This is her first priority as a saint. What kind of child's attitude is necessary, for the sake of Peng Sangguo's interests, this is his duty!
If Wei Qian is really gone, she must find another person to replace her in order to maintain her and Wei Qian's plan.
Hongchun's face turned blue and pale: "You want me to pretend to be Miss for the rest of your life?" β
"Not necessarily. This is only the worst-case scenario, which is why you find someone you can look at. Tao Ping's face was calm: "Anyway, you have to give the old lady and them an errand tomorrow, instead of finding a random one, it is better to pick one you like." β
"Don't worry, even if you make a third marriage contract, it will only be a little trouble for Wei Qian, and there is nothing to be afraid of. I have confidence in her, and you should also trust your young lady. A mere marriage contract, can she be restrained? β
Hongchun was stunned, yes, just a marriage contract, just a little joke in her own lady. When I was with the marriage contract of the son of the Huang family, didn't I still live freely?
"Okay, then this one!" Red Tsubaki pulled out a portrait: "I'll use it to reply tomorrow." β
The two of them summed it up and waited for another day, but there was still no news from Wei Qian. So Hongchun used the son of the Feng family he chose to deal with Jia Mei and the others.
After Jia Mei and the three of them looked at it, Jia Mei said: "Although the family background is ordinary, it is a well-off family in the end." With the support of our family, the future will not be bad. And the girl still has the status of a countryman, which can be deterred, and she will have no worries for the rest of her life. β
Saying that, Jia Mei prepared to arrange this marriage.
But at this time, someone at the door came to report: "Madam, old lady, someone outside has come to propose marriage, please go and greet the two wives." β
"Propose?" The two family members frowned at the same time: "Who is so ignorant of the rules?" Come to propose, and you want us to greet you? β
Jia Mei opened her mouth and was about to blast away, she was so upset at this time, who would join in the fun?
"But the other party said that he is the current Seventh Prince."
As soon as these words came out, the house was immediately shocked, and the teacup in Hongchun's hand was not held for a while, and fell directly to the ground.
