Chapter 7
After leaving from his uncle's house, Ah Bao lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the sun in the sky.
"Yan Hui, let's go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." Po said suddenly.
Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, so he went to tell the coachman Ah Tie to turn the carriage around and go to the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion instead.
Since the marriage decree came down, the atmosphere in Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion was not very good, as if there was a depressing atmosphere in the sky above the entire house. After handing over the post, while waiting, Ah Bao opened the curtain and looked at the two pairs of stone slenders in front of the Zhongyong Mansion, remembering that he used to come to the Zhongyong Mansion with his sisters when he was in Beijing.
Weiyuan Houfu and Zhongyong Bo can be regarded as world friends, the two mansions have been friends since the ancestral period, this habit has continued to the present, naturally, the girls and sons of the two mansions are also good friends with each other. When Ah Bao was eight years old, he protected Jiang Lingwei once because of the wild boar running wild incident, and Jiang Lingwei regarded her as her own sister from then on, and the relationship was so good that the sisters of the two families were jealous.
Soon, the gatekeeper got the word to open the door and welcome Bao into the house.
Ah Bao went to the upper room to meet Mrs. Zhongyong first, and it didn't seem that it was the right time for Ah Bao to come, because Mrs. Zhongyongbo's eyes were slightly red at this time, and she was crying at first glance. Ah Bao glanced at the grandmother who was waiting on the side, and wondered in his heart, whether Mrs. Lu Dao Zhongyong would quarrel with her husband, or be sad for her beloved daughter?
It is said that Ah Bao also admires this loyal and brave lady very much, this is simply a proper and fierce good wife and mother-type character. The reason why she is a good wife and mother is because she is very in line with the current requirements for a good wife, dignified and accessible, acts with her own set of standards for a good wife, is impartial, and takes care of the entire loyal and brave uncle in an orderly manner, and everyone who has seen it praises her. Said that she is tough, she is indeed tough, she is very good at using the duties of a wife, and very fiercely compiled a book of "Concubine and Maid Code", which has become a must in the capital, many people have seen it, all praise, even after the man knows the Tao, he can't find fault, but she has to say with a strange face that she is a good wife, and she manages her husband to death, and the concubine is obedient, and the concubine wants to seduce her husband? First memorize the "Code of Conduct for Concubines and Maids" a hundred times, and then copy it a hundred times.
Therefore, the children in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion are all born of the wife, and there are concubines who have a room!
Ah Bao was fortunate enough to learn a few items in the code from Jiang Lingwei, and he was immediately shocked, and he was so impressed with this lady that he almost asked: Actually, you are wearing it, right?
Therefore, we can't underestimate the wisdom of ancient women, let alone the fierceness of ancient women. Facts have proved that in Bao's life from childhood to adulthood, she has met many ancient women who can be called fierce, and she is also a virtuous family girl praised by the world, which subverted her three views.
"Po is here." After Mrs. Zhongyong let her subordinates serve tea, she kindly took Ah Bao's hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you have returned to Beijing, and I still wonder when you will remember that my old woman came to see me." A few years ago, I heard my lord say that General Zhenbei was injured by the Beiyi people on the battlefield, is he okay? β
"My father's injuries have healed now, and Lao Shibo and his aunt are concerned, and there is nothing wrong with him."
After a few homely words, Mrs. Zhongyong said, "You came to see Ling Wei, right?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, and he said in a low voice: "I know that you little sisters are good, you should also persuade her and let her ...... Let her ......" lowered her head and tried to remove the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "She has a strong temperament, I know that she has wronged her in this matter, she feels uncomfortable, no one wants to see her, she knows that if you come to see her, she should be happy......"
After Mrs. Zhongyong's words paused, Ah Bao said: "Don't worry, aunt, although Ling Wei looks weak, she is the most transparent person, she will understand." β
Bao's words are just comforting, anyone who has this kind of thing will be difficult to accept, not to mention Jiang Lingwei, who is such an arrogant girl, although she does not hold herself beautiful, but which girl has never fantasized about marriage and husband? Who knew that disaster fell from heaven, but accompanying his mother to the temple to make incense caused disaster?
Mrs. Zhongyong smiled reluctantly, and then ordered the maid to take Ah Bao to Jiang Lingwei's courtyard.
When he came to the place where Jiang Lingwei lived, Ah Bao saw that the door of the master bedroom was locked from the inside, and the whole courtyard was quiet. Jiang Lingwei plays the piano well, and often likes to entertain himself in his yard, Ah Bao used to hear the sound of the piano every time he came, but he was not used to hearing it now.
"Miss Li, our girl has been in a bad mood recently, locking herself in the house all day long, quietly, the old lady is very worried."
After listening to the maid's words, Ah Bao knew that this might have been the case since the marriage was given. To be honest, Jiang Lingwei can understand such a negative reaction, but she is just a little girl's family, and no one will be able to think about it.
Ah Bao came to the door, and without waiting for the maid to speak, he shouted inside: "Ling Wei, I'm Ah Bao, I'm back, open the door for me." β
It was half a minute before a voice sounded inside.
A girl wearing a plain moon-white dress opened the door, the sunlight was slightly slanting, and the delicate and weak girl stood in front of the door, as if she had fallen into the world by mistake, and she was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
Bao's breathing almost stopped, and his eyes looked straight at the fairy who opened the door, and he hadn't seen her for a few years, and the original Lori fairy had become a real fairy.
It's just that when I took a closer look at the fairy's outfit, Ah Bao was embarrassed.
I saw that at this moment, the fairy was holding a long knife in one hand, her hair was tied high, and she was tied with a cyan cloth scarf like a chivalrous man on her forehead, looking majestic and mighty. The maid lowered her head, couldn't bear to see it, and at the same time secretly paid attention, and found that fortunately, the young lady was in a bad mood recently, and she didn't like to be served closely.
Then, the fairy dragged Po in a very non-fairy rough motion, and then closed the door in front of the maid.
"Ling Wei?"
Ah Bao called carefully, sat on the couch by the window, looked at the girl on the chaise longue opposite, the girl looked at her with a pair of watery eyes, and saw that Ah Bao's heart was crisp, and there was an impulse, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, she would roll up her sleeves and take them off for her.
Jiang Lingwei looked at her for a long time, then her eyes narrowed, and a very fairy expression appeared on her soft little face, but her words were very mean, "Finally willing to come back?" I thought you wouldn't come back after guarding your father for the rest of your life. β
Ah Bao leaned back, put a big pillow on his back, and said indifferently: "My father kicked me back to marry someone on a blind date." β
"But there's a target?"
"I don't know what to do, I guess there was originally, but it's all scared away at this moment."
Jiang Lingwei showed a concerned expression, "What's wrong?" β
At that moment, Ah Bao told her what happened at the post station when he returned to Beijing, and concluded: "I know that my reputation is a little unpleasant, and I should have been out for a few years, but this accident, maybe the people in the capital will remember my previous deeds, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry Lu in the future." With that, he sighed.
Jiang Lingwei patted her hands and pouted, "King Jin is troublesome!" I suspect he must have a conspiracy, Bao, you have become a victim of his conspiracy! Also sighed, she showed a relaxed expression, and said bluntly: "Originally, I thought I was miserable enough, but now that I know this, I feel much more relaxed, and I will not be so sad in the future." β
"Hey!" This kind of "it turns out that there is someone more unlucky than me, and I suddenly feel relieved" is too hateful.
Jiang Lingwei moved to Ah Bao's side, nested on the couch with Ah Bao, the two of them huddled together, just like when they were children, you press me, I twist you, you pinch my waist, I twist your ass, the two rub each other, intimate.
After making trouble for a while, Jiang Lingwei tilted her head on Ah Bao's shoulder and said softly: "Ah Bao, I may be like that for the rest of my life." The Jiang family raised me, gave me life, gave me glory and wealth, and I could only accept this marriage. During this time, I thought a lot, in fact, what does this face bring me? If you don't just like what the monk said at the beginning, you can go directly to Buddhism, and you won't be able to be pure for a lifetime. β
"What nonsense! Didn't your father and mother say that the monk was a liar? Ah Bao scolded, a little weak-hearted. If it was in her previous life, she would definitely be a good child who advocated science, but after becoming a newborn baby in this time and space in a blink of an eye, Ah Bao was not so determined, and occasionally believed in ghosts and gods.
When Jiang Lingwei was born, the sky descended from the sky - in fact, Ah Bao felt that it was just a little more beautiful and colorful at that time, and a passing monk said that this woman was destined to be noble, but she could not be pure in the second half of her life, if she was sent to the Buddha, she could be kept quiet all her life. Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion is happy to love his daughter at this time, where will he listen to the words of a monk? And the girl of Zhongyong Bofu is naturally noble, and I believe that she will marry well in the future.
So Zhongyong Bohu unceremoniously threw the monk out of the city.
Jiang Lingwei sneered, even if she made such a mocking expression, her face was still very fairy, no wonder the prince of Ping was shocked at first sight, and he wanted to marry her alive or dead, Ah Bao himself sometimes couldn't stand such a fairy person, and felt that Jiang Lingwei was like Sister Lin in the Dream of Red Mansions. Of course, Jiang Lingwei just has a weak body and appearance like Sister Lin, but her temperament is quite strong and rough, otherwise she would not get involved with Ah Bao, a murderous thing.
The two were silent for a while, Jiang Lingwei broke the silence and said, "When you come back this time, it should be that your uncle wants your grandmother to pick a family affair for you, right?" Can someone choose one? β
Ah Bao is not a normal girl, and she is not shy to talk about her life's events with her friends, and said: "I have only been back for a few days, and I haven't heard any news. It is estimated that someone was originally selected, but what happened on the day of his return was not suitable for the candidate. Ah Bao sighed, in fact, she has no opinion on who she marries, anyway, this era is the order of her parents, and she doesn't have the juniors to intervene, she is only worried that her marriage will be full of twists and turns, and her stupid father like a bear will have to worry about it.
"Cut, King Jin is so annoying!" Jiang Lingwei snorted angrily, and then said viciously: "I can't complain that he is a lot older, and he is still the respect of the prince, but he is not married, which family wants to marry his daughter to such a vicious man?" Even if his father is the emperor, he can't force people to marry his daughter to him! Sure enough, it's retribution! β
"Come on, keep some morality, maybe he's not as bad as you say?" Ah Bao pushed her, she looks so fairy, but this mouth is always unforgiving.
Jiang Lingwei looked at her with an expression of "why are you so naΓ―ve", and saw Ah Bao vomit blood, and deeply reflected on whether she was really so naΓ―ve? Or is the indigenous girl too strong, and she hasn't integrated into the ranks of the indigenous girl yet?
Ah Bao spent another hour in the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, and it was almost dinner time before he said goodbye and left.
It may be that Ah Bao's arrival made Jiang Lingwei vent, Jiang Lingwei was silent for a few months, and finally cheered up, changed into a set of normal clothes, dressed up a little, and personally sent Ah Bao to the second gate, and then retreated and walked towards his mother's yard.
The maids and grandmothers who followed behind Jiang Lingwei were full of battle spirit when they saw her straight back, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl finally returned to normal! It's normal, it's normal, it's normal to give full play to her brutal nature, and to wipe out those ghosts and pigs in the palace!
