The concubine has the bearing of a high-ranking concubine, delicate but assertive and tenacious, how Yingluo thinks and thinks that Chi Jingyi is describing Wang Xueyao.

Hearing him say that the girl was right in front of her, Yingluo's mind hadn't turned for a while, and she thought to herself, is Wang Xueyao also in this teahouse?

She also instinctively looked around, and then she suddenly realized that Chi Jingyi's incomparably clear eyes were actually locking on herself at the moment, whether it was his expression or his words, it was clear that he was telling her, the person in his mouth was her Su Yingluo at all!

Yingluo's mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and the whole person was stunned.

Just because she felt that she was as relaxed and happy with Chi Jingyi as she was with her friends in her previous life, she always thought that Chi Jingyi should be the same to her, although he was not bad to her, but when the two talked about business, they should be the same.

Does he like himself? Yingluo instinctively smiled awkwardly after half a sound, and opened her mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

And Chi Jingyi also confessed to the girl's family for the first time after living such a big life, although the expression on her face pretended to be calm, her heart was already tormented to the extreme, and the girl on the other side didn't react like she was stupid.

His heart fluttered, plucked up the courage to raise his hand, leaned over and pressed his hand on the back of Yingluo's right hand on the green jade bucket, pulled away her hand, staggered her fingers and held it hard, and said in a gentle voice: "I am pleased with you, I want to marry you as a wife, and accompany you for the rest of my life. ”

Chi Jingyi's face turned red as she spoke, but her eyes did not dodge, staring at Yingluo brightly, with some stubbornness and expectation that forced her to face it and did not allow her to refuse.

Yingluo only felt that his eyes were quite oppressive, she never thought that Chi Jingyi, who had always been gentle and like a spring breeze, would be like this, she really didn't know how to react for a while.

I could only look at him stunned and his slightly cool fingers and his white fingers clasped together, the first time she sat opposite Chi Jingyi in the carriage, she had paid attention to his hands, white and slender bones but not obtrusive, very beautiful hands.

But she really didn't expect that these hands would hold her one day, and begged her to marry him, she looked at Chi Jingyi's white hand at the moment, but the other big hand holding herself flashed in her mind inexplicably.

That hand is not as white and delicate as Chi Jingyi's hand, and it is not as beautiful as Chi Jingyi's hand, that hand may be because of the perennial martial arts practice, the palm of the hand is covered with calluses, some hard and hard, the bone joints are extremely thick, the green tendons on the side are even slightly uplifted, the skin is slightly dark and rough, but the fingers are also slender, the hand is warm at all times, and when she is pulled, people cannot refuse, and the strong is flustered but also reassuring.

It's those hands, not long ago, they had clumsily pulled her long hair and plucked orchids.

Yingluo was uncontrollably distracted, Chi Jingyi held her hand and used a slight force, Yingluo suddenly raised her eyes, but she struggled slightly and pulled her hand out of Chi Jingyi's palm, opened her mouth and said for some reason: Love, "Sister Wang likes you, do you know?" ”

As soon as Yingluo spoke, Chi Jingyi's handsome face showed a look of astonishment, and then helplessness, not that he was stunned by Wang Xueyao's admiration, but he couldn't understand how the woman in front of him could mention Wang Xueyao at this time.

He smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but say, "Can you still spoil the scenery again?" ”

Yingluo raised her hand and touched her nose with a little embarrassment when she heard this, and she didn't think about how to react, so she saw Chi Jingyi on the other side raising her eyebrows with a smile, and said, "Or is Sister Luo questioning and jealous?" ”

Yingluo's eyes widened in fright by Chi Jingyi's idea, waved her hand again and again, and coughed dryly twice, before she said: "I mean, I have psychological pressure on such a tasteless thing as robbing my sister's love, and I really can't do it." ”

Chi Jingyi didn't understand Yingluo's words too well, but he understood what she meant, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile again, and said, "Well, I'm not interested in such a tasteless thing as digging up the corner of my brother's wall." ”

Yingluo was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Chi Jingyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why don't you want to think about it, the lady of General Zhenwei's mansion is my aunt and grandmother, and Wang Xueyao has already been married, if the two families really want to get married, how can it be delayed until now?" You should know that there is still half a young master in the General's Mansion who is now in the army, right? ”

Yingluo was a little enlightened when she heard this, the Zhenwei General's Mansion has no heirs, which makes the side branch of the Sheng family have more ideas, but because the three generations of the General's Mansion are all single-handed, so the side branch of the Sheng family is really far away and can't be farther, so it is not called the side branch to calculate the General's Mansion.

Even so, it seems that seven or eight years ago, Mrs. Tai had no choice but to choose a boy from the side branch of the Sheng family to raise in the General's Mansion, and at that time, people in Beijing said that Mrs. Tai planned to pass on the child to her deceased son, so as to inherit the incense of the General's Mansion.

It's just that the matter was closed later, and the kid was also sent to the barracks, and it seems that he has been controlling the military forces left behind in the General's Mansion all these years.

Seeing that Yingluo understood a little, Chi Jingyi said: "Don't say that I am just a brother and sister to the sister of the Wang family, and I have never had the love of men and women, only the meaning of my aunt and grandmother, I am afraid that the sister of the Wang family also understands." And I have a deep affection for Brother Chengyi, and I have always respected Brother Chengyi's own brother, and I know that Brother Chengyi has always admired the sister of the Wang family, how can I win my brother's love? ”

The man on the side of General Sheng's Mansion who was sent to the barracks was named Sheng Chengyi.

Hearing Chi Jingyi say this, Yingluo really didn't know what to say for a while.

In the early years, the old general Sheng and the young general were killed together, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wang easily raised the posthumous son of the young general, and always hoped that her granddaughter would grow up to recruit her to inherit the incense of the general's mansion, but unfortunately things were not as expected, and Miss Sun of the general's mansion still failed to grow up and died.

Wang Xueyao was brought up in the General's Mansion because she looked like Mrs. Tai's granddaughter, and Sheng Chengyi failed to write it on the genealogy of the Sheng Mansion, mostly because Mrs. Tai was unwilling.

Wang Xueyao is now seventeen years old, and the family affairs have not been arranged, ninety percent is really as Chi Jingyi said, Mrs. Tai plans to let her marry that Sheng Chengyi, and the general's mansion must inherit the incense personally.

Let Wang Xueyao and Sheng Chengyi be together, which must be a comfort for Mrs. Tai.

Although Wang Xueyao likes Chi Jingyi, Yingluo understands that liking is the most useless thing in this era, not to mention that Chi Jingyi does not have that kind of love for Wang Xueyao, and it is impossible for Wang Xueyao to ignore Mrs. Tai's meaning.

Looking at it this way, Wang Xueyao and Chi Jingyi are indeed impossible.

Yingluo thought about these and was slightly stunned, but Chi Jingyi stood up, took a few steps to Yingluo, and actually squatted down in front of her, looked at her, and said in a firm and calm voice: "If Sister Luo is willing to believe me once, I will not live up to Sister Luo's friendship and will treat you well." I know you don't like to be inhibited, you like to do business, and you see, I've gotten used to a life of moving around all these years. You are my wife, I naturally will not leave you at home, I will give birth to my family, only that I am not in good health, and you are good at medicinal food, it is convenient to take care of me with me, presumably my family will not stop me. When the time comes, we can join hands to travel all over the north and south of this Dafeng, and my Sheng family's shop will be Dafeng, and if you like to do business, I will not stop you, let's do our own thing, to see whose business is bigger. There is also the medicinal food building that we are opening now, Sister Luo doesn't want to see how it blooms everywhere in Dafeng? ”

I have to say that Chi Jingyi drew a big pie for Yingluo, Yingluo looked at Chi Jingyi who was close in front of her, looked at the gentle color on his handsome face, and looked at the sincerity in his eyes, she felt a slight heat in her heart.

Yes, as a modern girl, she is not suitable for this ancient life at all, even if she has tried to forget her past life and integrate herself into this era, but she still feels depressed when she looks at the four corners of the inner house every day.

She longs for freedom, she is eager to go out of the house at will, she doesn't want to be confined to the back house, and she doesn't want to be like all ancient women, waiting for the family to arrange to marry, serve her in-laws, teach her husband and children, arrange concubines for her husband, compete for the wind and be jealous, like the Song family, more and more distorted, and lose herself.

The future described by Chi Jingyi was so beautiful that Yingluo felt that her whole heart was warm. She thinks that she and Chi Jingyi are like-minded, maybe it is really the most suitable.

As if seeing Yingluo's vacillation, Chi Jingyi reached out again and held Yingluo's hands on her knees, but this time Yingluo did not struggle, Chi Jingyi's always slightly pale handsome face couldn't help but blush, and the corners of her lips raised to reveal a happy smile.

His smile has always been warm and beautiful, and at this moment, this smile from the heart is even more gentle and intoxicating, as if the whole elegant room is lit up.

His happiness infected Yingluo, and she also tugged the corners of her lips and smiled, "I never thought about this, can Brother Chi give me two days to think about it?" ”

Chi Jingyi was not disappointed when she heard this, the smile on her face continued, and she nodded: "Okay, I'm waiting for Sister Luo's good news." ”

With that, he let go of the hand holding Yingluo and stood up with a smile.

Yingluo looked at Chi Jingyi, who was standing with a smile, and really felt that she was at ease and comfortable with him, maybe she only had appreciation for him at the moment, but she felt that a gentle man like him, if the two really became husband and wife, they must be able to discuss and respect each other, and raise their eyebrows.

Even if there are problems in the relationship between the two in the future, Yingluo feels that she can still have her own business, and she should be able to watch Chi Jingyi give birth to a concubine.

She feels that what she needs now is such a relationship that she can control freely, and marrying Chi Jingyi may really be the best choice.

The two talked for a while, Yingluo was a little absent-minded because she had something in her heart, and seeing that it was not early, she quit Chi Jingyi and quietly returned to Su Ji's medicinal herb shop.

That night, Yingluo didn't sleep well, and she didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, but she didn't want to get up the next day, but Wang Xueyao came.

Hearing the movement, Yingluo in the inner room hurriedly got up and dressed, pulled a cloak at random and hurriedly welcomed out of the house, and when she arrived in the bright room, she saw the door curtain open, Wang Xueyao had already entered the house with a smile, and when she saw Yingluo, she wrinkled her nose and made a grimace at Yingluo, and said: "You lazy girl, but I can catch it, what time is this, and you are still lying on the bed!" ”

Yingluo greeted her with a smile, and when she saw that a thin layer of snow flakes had fallen on Wang Xueyao's cloak and hair, she couldn't help but exclaim: "It's snowing?" ”

Wang Xueyao nodded and said: "Who says it's not, this year's snow fell early, and it didn't fall small, I didn't have snow when I left the house, and scattered snowflakes flew when I arrived at Sitong Street, which is just a little bigger." ”

Yingluo took Wang Xueyao's hand, the tentacles were slightly cold, so she hurriedly pulled her to the inner room, and said, "I haven't put this warm quilt together, so let's just go in and warm up for a while, and look at your cold hands." As he spoke, he instructed Shuang Xing, "Go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of ginger jujube tea." ”

Wang Xueyao didn't shirk it, followed Yingluo to the bedside, took off her shoes, except for the cloak on her body and her big coat, climbed into bed and leaned against Yingluo wrapped in a quilt.

The bed tent was warm and tight, Wang Xueyao leaned on Yingluo's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh comfortably, Fang said: "Or will you enjoy it, are your old ladies still sick?" You don't have to ask for peace, just sleep with your temperament. ”

Yingluo nodded and said, "It's not that you don't know where our old lady's illness came from, she is just afraid that as soon as she sees a few of us going to ask for peace, she must first remember the humiliation of the Xinwang Mansion that day. ”

Wang Xueyao covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "The four girls in your house always look reserved and tall on weekdays, but this time they have really become a laughing stock in the capital." Over there, the concubine of the Xinwang Mansion was only called into the palace by the queen mother and reprimanded, grounded for a month, and the matter was over, but I am afraid that the marriage of the girls in your mansion will be delayed. ”

Yingluo's eyelashes flashed slightly when she heard this, and said: "I'm not in a hurry, but my third sister, it's eighteen years old, and I was supposed to enter Beijing this time to get married. ”

I don't know if Su Yingyue regretted it this time, if she hadn't sowed discord in the middle and made waves that day, everyone would not have gone out of the house to make clothes together, and if she didn't leave the house, she would naturally not be blocked on the street by the concubine of King Xin, and she would not have been affected by Su Yingying like this.

What's more, if the Song family and Su Yingyue didn't want to ruin her innocence when they were in Suizhou, why would the Song family be imprisoned, and now they don't even have the right to dominate their own daughter's marriage.

Therefore, in this world, there is really karma and retribution, and if you don't do it, you won't die.

Yingluo raised her lips and smiled, but Wang Xueyao, who was leaning on her shoulder, straightened up, looked at Yingluo and quipped, "Aren't you in a hurry?" Alas, then someone is going to die in a hurry. I've heard that some people can't wait to propose to Yingluo's sister. ”

She just met Chi Jingyi yesterday, and Wang Xueyao came early this morning, Yingluo guessed that Wang Xueyao's sudden visit must be related to yesterday's incident, and now when she heard her say this, she unconsciously shook Wang Xueyao's hand, and said hesitantly: "Sister Wang, I ...... it."

Wang Xueyao smiled, shook Yingluo, and said with a stunned face: "I've heard it all, don't worry, Cousin Chi is not young, he has to marry a wife, I already knew that there would be such a day." ”

Yingluo saw that she lowered her eyelashes slightly, and her eyes showed sadness, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but Wang Xueyao smiled again in an instant, and said: "You don't know that Mrs. Tai has already arranged my family affairs, and I already know that it is impossible for me and Cousin Chi, I am ...... is willful to dream by himself, now that my cousin Chi is going to get married, I am actually happy in my heart, as long as he can get his wish and live well, I will be happy to see it. Sooner or later, there will be such a person, rather than someone else, I would rather be you, I can see that Cousin Chi really likes you. ”

Yingluo didn't want Wang Xueyao to have such an attitude towards this matter, so she was unconsciously touched, and said half-loudly: "What kind of person is that Sheng Chengyi?" ”

Wang Xueyao laughed and said, "He, he is loyal and respectful, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, although he is a little careless, he has always been considerate to me. Mrs. Tai's eyes look at people, Sister Yingluo should rest assured, there were so many children in the side branches back then, Mrs. Tai chose Brother Chengyi alone, naturally because his character is good. And although he is seven years older than me, he also lived in the general's mansion in his early years, in fact, I and Brother Chengyi are childhood sweethearts, he has been in the military camp all these years, and every year during the New Year's holidays, he will always send someone to send me something back. ”

Wang Xueyao said with a slightly dazed look on her face, and leaned her head on Yingluo's shoulder, and said, "Sister Yingluo, do you know, sometimes I think that maybe I don't like Cousin Chi so much, after all, I haven't met him a few times, maybe I just don't want to accept my fate...... Maybe I just don't want to be a stand-in for someone else for the rest of my life......"

Wang Xueyao's last sentence was very low, as if muttering, the vague Yingluo didn't hear it too clearly, but she also understood what Wang Xueyao meant, and unconsciously held Wang Xueyao's hand, and said: "Sister Wang, don't think like that, Mrs. Tai is really really fond of Sister Wang!" Maybe my sister was hugged into the General's Mansion because of this look, but after so many years, my sister Chenghuan was on her knees, and Mrs. Tai personally taught and nurtured her, and she had already loved her sister as her own granddaughter. I believe that Mrs. Tai is only loved because her sister is an older sister now, and she definitely does not treat her sister as someone who loves her like this. If my sister still thinks of Mrs. Tai like that, then she must have really failed Mrs. Tai's love for her sister. ”

Wang Xueyao's body trembled slightly for a while, and she suddenly raised her head and stared at Yingluo, and then shook her head and smiled, with a slight relief in her eyes, and said: "What my sister said is that I am in the bureau, and I am too left-minded, and Mrs. Tai is naturally very fond of me because I am me." She couldn't help but let out a long breath, and pushed Yingluo and said, "Let's not talk about me, I just want to tell you today, marrying Cousin Chi is really an excellent family affair, you must not miss the good relationship because of me." ”

Wang Xueyao treated her so sincerely, Yingluo's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded at her sincere eyebrows.

On the day Wang Xueyao left, Yingluo thought about it for a while, spread out the pen and ink, and wrote the word "willing" on the paper, after drying it, she looked at the two words, but it flashed in front of her eyes again that the man standing with an orchid in the back garden that evening.

She is not hard-hearted, how can she not feel Qin Yan's true heart, and she is not a dull and stupid person, so she can't feel her own temptation.

But Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, the disparity between her and that person's identity is too big, she can't be his wife at all, even if Qin Yan can win the position of his wife for her, but he is the future King of Jing, and there should be one concubine, two side concubines, and two concubines in the court alone. These are the wives and concubines who can go to Zongdie, and there are nobles, ladies, Anren, Huiren, concubines, and concubines, and Caiyi.

Even if the prince is not like the emperor in the palace with three thousand harems, but there are dozens of women in the palace, it is nothing at all. Even if Qin Yan has a weak temperament and is not a woman, it is impossible for him to marry only one concubine.

Even if these are not mentioned, the palace is by no means the place she yearns for, and the defeated Ding'an Hou Mansion has already made her breathless, not to mention the palace with a deep mansion.

And the most shocking thing for her was that she was tempted by Qin Yan, if she allowed herself to continue to contact that man, Yingluo had no doubt that she would fall in love with that domineering and awkward man.

In this ancient world of three wives and four concubines, it was terrible to fall in love with a man in ancient times, Yingluo felt that she was still cowardly in the end, she couldn't do it without leaving a way back, moths to the fire, and she just wanted to do what she wanted to do in this life.

She was still afraid of getting hurt and afraid that she would never recover.

So, let her take advantage of this, marry Chi Jingyi, she will try her best to be a good wife, Chi Jingyi is a good man, she thinks that she and him will probably manage a long-lasting relationship.

Thinking that Yingluo no longer hesitated, she folded the written note, called Yun's mother in a loud voice, and instructed: "Take it to the outer courtyard and hand it over to my younger brother, let him send it to Chi's mansion, and hand it over to Chi's eldest son." ”
