Chapter 38: The Best of Both Worlds
Ji Qianchen's heart was full of doubts. He only saw her side face clearly www.biquge.info with a little detachment, and she left at an extremely fast pace, as if she was deliberately avoiding her. But they had clearly never met before, so why did they have such a strange feeling?
"Lord Shizi, what's wrong with you?" Meng Qing discovered Ji Qianchen's abnormality.
Ji Qianchen paused and looked in the direction of Hehuan Forest, "Go and find out who that girl is." ”
Meng Qing understood, do you still need to check this, the girl replied to "Green Pothos Xuan", and now "Green Luoxuan" lives in addition to the seventh girl Su Tong, who else will there be, "Lord Shizi, the maid and slave maid beside that girl have seen it, it was the fourth master of the Su family who trained the listening qin, and it was pointed out to the seventh girl not long ago." ”
"Seven girls? Su Tong? The woman who hooked up with the next person? Ji Qianchen couldn't equate the seven girls he saw with the prodigal seven girls no matter what, "Could it be a mistake?" You check it out again. ”
Meng Qing had no choice but to accept his fate, "Yes." ”
After Meng Qing confirmed that it was Su Tong, Ji Qianchen suddenly became a little irritable, and even he didn't understand why he was irritable, "How could that woman wander around the mansion?" Is this Su family even gone? ”
He only threw himself on Su Mo, and didn't know anything about what happened to Su Tong later.
Meng Qing replied to the situation he had inquired about, "Shizi Ye, according to the people of the Su family, Su Siye had doubts about the seventh girl's hooking up with his subordinates, and interrogated Xiong Danian, and learned from Xiong Danian's mouth that he was not good with the seventh girl at all, and the reason why he framed the seventh girl like that was because he saw that the seventh girl was cowardly and easy to bully, and secondly, he wanted to climb the Su family. Su Siye blamed Xiong Danian for a hundred and sent him to Zhuangzi. ”
"So, that woman was wronged?" For some reason, Ji Qianchen suddenly felt a little pity for Su Tong. But this mercy was quickly diluted, even if she was wronged, with her appearance, she was worthy of becoming his concubine?
My father had never seen Su Tong and Su Mo, and if he did, he would definitely take a fancy to Su Mo.
"Childe, a letter from the prince." Meng Qing respectfully sent the letter.
Ji Qianchen opened the envelope, sat on the wooden chair casually, and read the letter. The more I looked at it, the more upset I became, and when I saw the end, I directly dragged the letter in my hand, crumpled it into a ball, his face was extremely gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Father is really getting more and more confused!" ”
In the letter, his father once again urged him to ask him about proposing marriage, and asked him to bring Su Yuchang's daughter with him when he returned to Beijing, and then ask the emperor for a holy decree to marry them after arriving in Beijing. He also said that words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, and there was an agreement back then, no matter how things change in the world, they cannot break the appointment. No-show? That's also called an agreement? But empty words!
Meng Qing knew a little about the old prince's instructions, and when he saw the reaction of the prince, it must have something to do with the proposal, so he cautiously proposed, "The prince, my subordinates have a strategy, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Say." Ji Qianchen spoke.
Meng Qing said what he thought in his heart, "The prince asked the prince to propose to the seventh girl, but it was not said that it was the main room or the side room, it was better to propose to marry the seventh girl and the ninth girl this time, if the ninth girl won the prince's eye in the future, it was not impossible to become the princess." As for the seven girls, if the prince doesn't like her, put her in the mansion and give her whatever name he wants, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
Men in the Great Zhou Dynasty who have some family backgrounds, who are not three wives and four concubines.
The anger in Ji Qianchen's heart was instantly extinguished, "Good idea. "Why didn't he think about it?! The reputation of the seven girls is discredited, and she can climb the Ji family, I don't know if it is a blessing from several lifetimes and several lifetimes. Since my father wants to fulfill his promise, let her enter the palace.
"Prepare a bride price, and go to Su's house tomorrow to propose."
……
"Is that true?" Zhu was basking in the sun in the gazebo in the courtyard, and his originally comfortable mood instantly became nervous.
The maid who was kneeling on the ground replied, "It's true. At that time, the slave and maid were pruning flowers and branches in the garden, and Lord Meng, the attendant of the prince, called the slave and maid to the corner, asked where the seven girls lived, who served, and asked why the seven girls were free to travel in the house. ”
"How did you answer?" Zhu asked sharply.
The maid was so frightened that she cried, "Big lady, slave maid...... The slave and maid truthfully replied. ”
Truthfully replied? So, the prince already knew that Su Tong was framed? Damn it! Zhu was so angry that he kicked the maid on the shoulder, "Useless thing!" ”
The maid suffered pain, fell to the ground, begging for mercy, "The eldest lady is angry, and the slave and maid should die......"
What's wrong? She didn't know either. But the eldest lady was angry, indicating that she must have done something wrong. She was just an ordinary maid in the house, responsible for such rough work as cutting flowers and pruning, and when she saw Lord Meng's questioning, she gave back what she knew truthfully, and she didn't lie.
Somehow, the people in the eldest lady's room found out about this, and called her to come for questioning.
Mama He saw Zhu rubbing her forehead, knowing that she had a headache, she called someone to drag the maid down.
"Madam, let the old slave come." After getting Zhu's consent, Mama He put her hands on both sides of Zhu's forehead and slowly rubbed them up, her technique was not light or heavy, just right, every time Zhu's headache over the years, she was waiting on the side, "Madam, the old slave knows what you are worried about, the old slave looks at the prince and doesn't care about the seventh girl at all, and he won't make any trouble." ”
Zhu closed his eyes, and the pain was relieved, "The stakes are very high, and we have to guard against it." Have you forgotten the words of the Heavenly Machine? ”
"The old third official is still the secretary of the military department, and the Sun family is a strategic, so their daughter has to guard against it."
Mama He nodded, "Madame is far-sighted, and she is not an old slave." Now, how can it be good? ”
Zhu thought for a long time and came up with a plan.
……
Early this morning, Ji Qianchen entered the Su Mansion with eight large boxes of dowries. All black wooden boxes with gold edges, with red silk tied on them, are particularly festive. Everyone in the Su family gathered in the living room, and when they saw this situation, they guessed why this master came, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Su Yusheng's old face was flushed, and he was a little incoherent with excitement, "The prince is like this...... Xiaomin was flattered......"
Zhu's eyebrows and eyes were even more radiant, and the prince begged to marry Su Mo, which was a supreme honor for the Su family.
Zhang was envious and congratulated, "Congratulations to the eldest brother and sister-in-law!" ”
Zhu put away the smile on his face and "blamed", "What are you talking about, Second Lady...... Where did the happy event come from...... "The prince has not yet spoken, how can he say such a thing?"
Ji Qianchen understood, and said earnestly, "Master Su, Mrs. Su, Lord came to the mansion today to ask to marry the ninth girl. ”
He paused, then continued, "And the Seventh Girl." ”
