Generally, when the masters of large families become adults, the wearing objects on their bodies are all wrapped up by their wives and concubines, and the elders will no longer care about these tasks, but Qin Yan's situation is special, and he is a wife and concubine who has a room, and what he wears on Zhenri is the palace clothes bureau, or the things in the palace needlework room, and the work is naturally good, that is, it is the same for a thousand times, Zhenri wears Qin Yan and doesn't feel anything, but the eldest princess Minying feels sad and pitiful. Therefore, from time to time at this time, the eldest princess Min Ying would make some purses and other things for Qin Yan.

Where could Yingluo think of this, so that she made a big fuss, and ate dry vinegar for nothing, she felt that she was really embarrassed, and when she heard Qin Yan's words, she almost wanted to jump out of the carriage and hide far away.

Qin Yan was rare to see Yingluo so shy and embarrassed, his heart was full of joy, and he circled her waist and stared at her red pretty face.

Seeing that Yingluo was about to be annoyed, Qin Yan let go of her, sat beside him with her, coughed twice, and said, "The princess of Qiyang County has always gone to the general's mansion in the past two days, but what's the matter?" ”

Yingluo didn't think that Qin Yan would ask about this, she was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes, and felt that Su Jinghua's matter was better to tell Qin Yan, but she really didn't know where to start with this matter.

Qin Yan had been to the Linshan Palace once, but there was a big mistake here, so he learned his lesson and sent two people to keep an eye on the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

There was an accident at the banquet of the Marquis of Changping, and it is said that the girls of the Marquis Mansion of Ding'an should have lived in seclusion recently, but early this morning, Mrs. Tai of the General's Mansion sent someone to the Marquis of Ding'an Mansion to pick up the Yingluo sisters and brothers, and Mrs. Tai is not a person who does not know the number of etiquette.

Qin Yan felt that Mrs. Tai was probably picking up people at this time, and learned that the princess of Qiyang County, who had never been out of the palace for many years, had visited the general's mansion at night yesterday, and went to the general's mansion before dawn this morning.

Qin Yan felt that the princess of Qiyang County must have something to do with the Yingluo sisters and brothers when she went to General Zhenwei's mansion, but he really couldn't understand what the relationship between the two could be.

Experience told him that Yingluo's affairs were not to be sloppy and relaxed, so he inevitably asked, and at this moment, seeing Yingluo wrinkling her eyebrows and not saying a word, Qin Yan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but he didn't urge her.

Yingluo pondered for a moment, and sure enough, she raised her eyes and said, "If my biological mother is a woman who does not abide by women's morals, will you still treat me as always?" ”

Qin Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and pondered the meaning of Yingluo's words in his heart, but he didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Yingluo's hand in his sleeve clenched slightly.

This ancient and modern times are different, more attention is paid to fame, and there is a saying that there are five do not marry. That is, the widow and the eldest daughter do not marry, the world does not marry the evil disease, the world does not marry the criminal, the daughter of the disorderly family does not marry, and the daughter of the rebel family does not marry.

Among them, if the daughter of the disorderly family does not marry, it means that the parents live in a disorderly manner, and they do not marry their daughter. Ordinary people have to pay attention to these five non-marrying, let alone a top gate valve like Jingwangfu.

The so-called mother must have a daughter, her biological mother is not only from the Qing Dynasty, but also in the eyes of outsiders, even the style is problematic, water-based Yanghua, does not abide by women's morals, from mother to daughter, she has such a background, Yingluo feels that it is almost impossible for Qin Yan to marry her.

She didn't care about the eyes of the world, but she cared about Qin Yan's thoughts, if it was because she had a mother who didn't abide by women's morals, Qin Yan would also question her character, suspicious and distrustful, Yingluo felt that there was really no need for the two to continue.

Therefore, seeing that Qin Yan was silent for a long time, her face changed slightly, and the hand that was held in the palm of Qin Yan's palm involuntarily twitched out.

Seeing that Yingluo's face was not very good-looking, he looked slightly annoyed for a while, and squeezed Yingluo's hand hard, and saw that she wrinkled her pretty face in pain, and then he said in a deep voice: "What is your reaction?" Ye is just thinking about what you mean by this, and you suspect that Ye dislikes you, can you be a woman with a snack and have a little confidence in Ye? ”

Qin Yan's voice carried a bit of solemnity and fierceness, his face was also a little dark, and Yingluo's eyes were filled with a layer of tears, but he couldn't say how ironing and moving he was in his heart.

She could see that Qin Yan really didn't care about it, which made her feel like she had picked up a treasure in ancient times.

There are many people in the world, and if there is a mother who does not abide by women's morals, she will naturally feel that her daughter is also a water-based Yanghua, not to mention, her previous marriage with Chi Jingyi, Yingluo is also afraid that Qin Yan will leave a thorn in her heart, and if she is disturbed by this matter, she will inevitably wonder what she and Chi Jingyi have, and then all kinds of suspicions.

Seeing that his attitude was not suspicious at all at this moment, Yingluo suddenly discovered that Qin Yan had always given her more tolerance and trust than she thought.

She was not an ignorant person, and she was moved at the moment, so she laughed and said, "What color purse do you like?" I see that you always like to wear dark clothes, so how about embroidering a lake blue and a raven blue? ”

Seeing that she was smiling flatteringly, Qin Yan grabbed Yingluo's fingers a little lighter, and instead played with her fingers, openly rubbing them, and said, "It's all good, as long as you do it, you like it." What do you mean by that? ”

Yingluo let Qin Yan knead her white fingers, and sighed lightly: "You probably haven't seen the prince of Qiyang, right?" The prince of Qiyang and my brother are almost identical. ”

Qin Yan's hand moved slightly, and he immediately reacted, and said in surprise: "Your younger brother is the bloodline of the Xiao family of King Qiyang?" ”

Yingluo nodded and said with a wry smile: "My brother and I have the same half-brother. ”

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, there was no emotion on his face, and he only said: "No wonder the princess of Qiyang County has visited the general's mansion repeatedly, this is to make your younger brother recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." I know about this matter, the population of the Qiyang Royal Mansion is simple, but it is cleaner than the Ding'an Hou Mansion, but it is a good thing that your brother can return to the Qiyang Royal Mansion......"

Qin Yan said and glanced at Yingluo thoughtfully, and when he saw Yingluo looking at her suspiciously, he squeezed Yingluo's hand and said, "Even if you have grown a little, you know that you have confessed some things to Master He, and it is not in vain that Master Fei has spent so much effort." ”

While the two were talking, the carriage had slowed down, and Yingluo looked out, but saw that the carriage had turned into the long street in front of the General's Mansion, and had unknowingly arrived at the General Zhenwei Mansion.

Yingluo was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew her hand from Qin Yan's palm, urging, "You still don't leave?" After a while, the carriage entered the general's mansion and was under the noses of the subordinates, how can you get out? ”

Qin Yan got along with Yingluo very happily today, he just hated that he couldn't stay with her all the time, and it was inevitable that he would be a little reluctant to arrive at the General's Mansion so soon, so he approached Yingluo and said, "When will you return to Ding'an Hou Mansion?" It's better to leave your relatives or go back to stay. ”

When Yingluo heard him say this, she knew that he had moved the mind of breaking into the boudoir at night again, she was unwilling before, Qin Yan was not a gentleman at all, and now where did she dare to let him succeed, and immediately said urgently: "You promised me earlier, if you can't keep your promise, how can you blame me for trusting you less?" I'm living in the General's Mansion very well, you don't care about me. ”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Qin Yan was inevitably disappointed in his heart, and took advantage of this time to be close and hugged Yingluo in his arms, and then lifted the car window and shot out like a wisp of green smoke.

Yingluo didn't expect him to jump out directly like this, startled, and hurriedly pushed open the window to look out, but saw that there were only long streets and alleys, and Qin Yan was gone. Listening to the movement around him, he did not hear the exclamation of the coachman, nor did he hear any exclamations of the carriage of the people behind him, and then he was relieved.

When she returned to the General's Mansion, she went to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, because the princess of Qiyang County came to the General's Mansion before dawn today, and Mrs. Tai had never rested well, so this time she was making up for sleep, and Yingluo went back to Xueyue Courtyard.

On weekdays, when she came over, Wang Xueyao would welcome her out of the house and laugh enthusiastically, but today there was no movement in the main room of Xueyue Courtyard, and even the maid in the courtyard seemed to find that the atmosphere of the two young ladies was not very right, and she seemed a little restrained, and the voice of Yingluo to say goodbye was several times quieter than usual.

Yingluo stood still in the courtyard and glanced at the quiet main room, her eyes turned down, and she didn't go back to the West Chamber, but directly told Brother Miao to go back and walk to the main room by herself.

Whether it is a quarrel between husband and wife or a dispute between friends, Yingluo thinks that the sooner the misunderstanding and contradiction are eliminated, the better, otherwise it will inevitably form a lump in the heart, and small things will become big things.

She went up the steps, but Biyu came out of the house, and when she saw Yingluo, she suppressed her voice and smiled: "The girl is back, our girl is a little tired today, but unfortunately she just fell asleep." The girl must be very tired when she goes out, why don't the slaves and maids help the girl go back to rest for a while? ”

Yingluo glanced at the room and said in surprise: "Sister Yao has never rested at this hour, but where is her body uncomfortable?" I'll take a look. ”

She said and walked quickly around Jasper and lifted the curtain and entered the house, but Jasper didn't react, and when she stomped her foot and chased in, Yingluo's people had already turned around the Duobao Pavilion and entered the inner room.

In the inner room, Wang Xueyao was sitting on the beauty couch by the window flipping through a book and listening to the movement outside, Yingluo actually broke in, she didn't have time to lie down, so she simply picked up the book again and looked at the book.

And Yingluo walked to the beauty couch when she entered the inner room, and saw that Wang Xueyao was buried in the book and did not raise her eyes to look at herself, so she immediately spoke: "I have made it clear to Brother Chi, today and tomorrow at the latest, our family affairs will be withdrawn." ”

Wang Xueyao still pretended to be now, and suddenly lost the book and stared at Yingluo in disbelief, and said with an annoyed face: "What did you say? Originally, it was the prince of King Jing who got in the way and destroyed your marriage with Cousin Chi, Cousin Chi even disobeyed the elders in the family for you, this time you not only stood with him, but ran to break his heart, for the sake of King Jing, you actually wanted to withdraw from Cousin Chi's family affairs, how can you do this! ”

Yingluo ignored Wang Xueyao's angry reprimand, and suddenly raised her hand and began to untie the clothes on her body, Wang Xueyao was startled, her eyes widened, and she didn't know what Yingluo was going to do.

Yingluo tore open the placket of her clothes a few times, and suddenly revealed the neck and shoulders of the frost and snow, and the first few purple bruises were quite eye-catching.

It was Jon Eun Min who got it yesterday, and when she went back, she inevitably scrubbed hard when she bathed, so that the skin was broken in many places, and now there were scabs on the kiss marks, which was extremely scary.

Wang Xueyao was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "Who pinched you like this?" What do you mean? ”

Wang Xueyao didn't understand that she knew more about being a maid, but she covered her mouth in shock, approached Wang Xueyao and whispered, "Girl, that seems to be ...... It's a kissed ......."

Wang Xueyao reacted after half a sound, and suddenly her face turned red, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but Yingluo said softly: "It's not what you think, this is made by the Hou Shizi of Pingyi in the Hou Mansion of Changping yesterday, I was almost forced by the Hou Shizi of Pingyi yesterday, and it was the Prince of Jing who saved me." ”

Wang Xueyao's face turned pale again when she heard this, where could she still care about having a temper with Yingluo at this time, she actually bounced up from the beauty couch all of a sudden, and while ordering Biyu to stay outside the door and not let people approach, she pulled Yingluo and hurriedly helped her cover her clothes, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you ...... Has it been ......?"

Wang Xueyao's face became more and more pale, Yingluo saw her heart warm when she saw her like this, held Wang Xueyao's hand and said: "I'm fine, I'm lucky, I almost didn't succeed, but at that time, when King Jing Shizi arrived, I was disheveled, and it was inevitable that he would look at my body, Sister Yao, I am innocent now, what else do you say besides following King Jing?" ”

Wang Xueyao's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "How can this be...... I'm sorry I misunderstood you. ”

Yingluo naturally didn't accept Qin Yan because she lost her innocence, but she knew that this was a more acceptable reason for Wang Xueyao.

It's not that she deliberately wants to coax Wang Xueyao, it's really a matter of love, it's hard to explain it to outsiders, she doesn't want to hurt her feelings with Wang Xueyao because of this incident, so she naturally finds a reason that Wang Xueyao is more acceptable to persuade her.

Seeing her red eyes, Yingluo hurriedly smiled and said, "I know that Sister Yao is all for my good, and I think that the prince of King Jing will not be my good match, so I am anxious." It's too late for me to be moved. ”

Wang Xueyao's face was slightly red for a while, but she said worriedly: "You and Cousin Chi's family affairs have retired, what does the prince of Jing think?" He...... How is he going to let you enter the Jingwang Mansion? ”

Yingluo saw that Wang Xueyao was still making trouble a moment ago, but now she cared about her more than anyone else, so she leaned on Wang Xueyao and said, "He said he wanted to marry me." ”

Wang Xueyao was a little surprised when she heard this, but she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But your family background ......"

Yingluo leaned on Wang Xueyao's shoulder and shook her head, sighing: "I also know that it is not easy for me to marry him, but since he said that he wants to marry me, then how to marry is his business, anyway, I will not be a concubine." Sister Yao, if I can't get married, there is no place for me in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, Sister Yao and Brother Chengyi have become the masters of the house, but you have to reward me with a bite to eat. ”

Seeing Yingluo making fun of herself, Wang Xueyao didn't make a fuss, she only patted Yingluo's shoulder and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince of King Jing looks like a successful person, since he has moved so much thought, he must really like you, he said that he wants to marry you, most of them will think about it, how can he not get married." ”

Ding'an Hou Mansion, Su Dingwen's day can be described as a dire situation, Changping Hou Mansion washed the three ceremonies Su Yingyue made such a big trouble, almost overnight spread all over the capital, this morning morning upward, there were two officials on the bullet to impeach Su Dingwen.

It's just that the courtiers were attracted by the impeachment of Qin Yan for wantonly killing the prince of Pingyi, so Su Dingwen was impeached and didn't make a storm for a while, which made Su Dingwen breathe.

Today, Su Dingwen was walking around, visiting the same year, running for relationships, and inviting guests to eat and drink to dredge up the impeachment matter.

In the evening, he dragged his tired body back to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and just after a bowl of sobering soup, the little servant came to report that the guards of King Jing came to visit, and Su Dingwen was busy welcoming people into the study.

The person who came was Ying Qi, he entered the study, but after arching his hand and Su Dingwen saluted, he said: "Yesterday, the fifth girl Su was frightened, and the prince personally selected some medicinal materials for the fifth girl to go to the treasury to replenish the body and suppress the shock. The prince wanted to come in person, but the five girls were still in the boudoir, for fear of affecting the reputation of the five girls, and then the prince took an errand out of Beijing yesterday, so he specially ordered him to secretly go on a trip. ”

Su Dingwen saw that Qin Yan attached so much importance to Yingluo, his heart was hot for a while, and he said continuously: "It's just a little thing, the little girl is no longer in the way, how dare you go to the prince in person." ”

Ying Qi waved his hand and said, "There is one more matter, the prince of the world ordered to ask Master Su below." ”

Su Dingwen raised his hand and motioned for Ying Qi to speak.

"Yesterday in the Changping Hou Mansion, the prince said that he would return the dowry that was carried away by the Praetorian Guards, and the prince heard that the Su family and the Chi family had changed, I don't know if this dowry is going to be sent to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, or directly to the Chi Mansion?"

Ying Qi's words made Su Dingwen stunned for a while, he was busy running about the impeachment today, and he didn't care about Yingluo and the Chi family's family affairs at all, but he also made people pay attention to the Chi family's movements. Fang Cai had already listened to the little girl's reply, saying that Hai Yuntian visited the Chi family this afternoon, and it was the old lady of the Chi family who personally welcomed people into the house.

When that happened, no one from the Chi family came to the Ding'an Hou Mansion to express it, but the old lady of the Chi family welcomed Hai Yuntian into the mansion. The Chi family's attitude of retreating from relatives is actually obvious, Su Dingwen was still full of anger, and now after listening to Ying Qi's words, he turned his mind upside down.

The meaning of King Jing's question is already obvious, the relatives of the Chi family can't be saved, it is better to quit early, and save face for Su Mansion, and when his concubine enters King Jing's Mansion in the future, I want to see what the expressions of those who laugh at him Su Dingwen are.

Su Dingwen thought about it, no longer hesitated, and said: "The dowry is tired and the Praetorian Guards will be sent back to Chi Mansion early tomorrow morning, I will visit Chi Mansion first to clean up and stop the relationship between the Chi family and the little girl, and please tell the prince truthfully." ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ying Qi stopped being verbose, nodded and gave up, turned around and took his leave.

And Su Dingwen's fingers tapped on the table a few times, but he laughed leisurely, although the old lady of the Chi family has been a member of the office for many years, but he is always a person who has been a celestial official, and the network of the Chi family in the court is not the same as that of Su Dingwen, since the Chi family is going to withdraw from his relatives now, he can't quit his relatives so cheaply, and he has to ask for some benefits to say anything.

Now that he has been impeached, he is worried that he has no ability to dredge it, and the Chi family, as an in-law, should naturally help.

Su Dingwen changed his clothes, then took Chi Jingyi's Geng post, and hurriedly went to Chi's house, he was taken into the study of the old lady Chi by the steward, after a visit, Su Dingwen sat down, thinking that the two families had withdrawn from the family, and there would be no mention of any closeness in the future, it was considered to be a feud, so it was not a false politeness, and immediately said: "Today I came to visit the old lady for the little daughter and Lingsun's family affairs, I heard that the old lady personally welcomed the Hai people into the Chi family today, presumably the two family affairs have already made a trade-off, but the Chi family retreated for the relatives of the Hai family." , isn't the old lady afraid that the Chi family will be poked in the back? ”

Su Dingwen's words made Old Lady Chi squint, and said: "Listening to Lord Su's words, but there are words in the words, I don't know what Lord Su has to build, so I can say it and discuss it, after all, retiring relatives is not very good for the reputation of the two families, and they can discuss to minimize the damage, so why make a fuss about the two families?" It's still more expensive to be kind. ”

Su Dingwen nodded with a smile and said, "The elder is worthy of being an elder, and the younger generation is exactly what it means." In my opinion, the family affairs or the Ding'an Hou Mansion took the initiative to retreat so as not to provoke so much criticism, which is good for the Chi Su family. However, the little girl quits her family, and her reputation will always be damaged, and the old lady Chi is the most fair official, and she has never been bullied in business, so she must be able to compensate my Su family. ”

Old Lady Chi knew that Su Dingwen had a plan as early as when he spoke, and he still smiled gently when he heard the words, and said: "This is natural, Master Su might as well say it if he has something to say." ”

Su Dingwen laughed and said: "The old lady is really refreshing, and it is not on the side, the younger generation sees that the promotion is imminent, but there are young people who are jealous of the younger generation's official fortune, and in the past two days, he has teamed up with several junior officials to impeach the younger generation for not governing the family strictly, and now the Imperial Historian Wang is also a student of the old lady, and now the Su Chi family has not yet withdrawn, it is still a family of in-laws, can the old lady help the younger generation dredge one or two." ”

The expression on Old Lady Chi's face remained unchanged, and she only groaned for a while and said, "Old man, do your best." ”

Su Dingwen immediately got up with a smile, and said again and again, "The old lady acted decisively, which is admired by the younger generations. This is the Geng post of the eldest prince of Chi, returned to the old lady, this family business will be considered a retirement today, tomorrow morning the younger generation will personally return the dowry under your mansion to the Chi family with the Praetorian Guard, and the people in the capital will know that it is my Ding'an Hou Mansion who took the lead in retreating. In this way, the younger generation took his leave first. ”

When Su Dingwen went out, the old lady Chi picked up Chi Jingyi's Geng post on the table and threw it directly into the charcoal brazier on the side, and he was very glad to have retired from the Su family's family affairs.

Marriage is a good marriage with two surnames, then Su Yingluo is no matter how good, with such a father, if he really becomes an in-law, sooner or later the family will be dragged down.

Mrs. Chi just wanted to retire from the family affairs as soon as possible, the two compartments were clean, and he ordered the little servant to prepare the carriage, and went to visit the imperial doctor Wang Bingran overnight. Hearing the news, my heart was at ease, and early the next morning, I really fulfilled my promise and arrived at Chi's house with great fanfare with the Praetorian Guards, dropped the dowry, and left.

This road was not small, attracting passers-by to watch, and before noon, the news of the Chi family and the Ding'an Hou Mansion was spreading.
