Chapter 136: Thoughts
Wang Zixiao walked out of the courtyard and walked towards Taoyuan.
There are not too many people here at the men's banquet today, so they originally sent someone to send a post to Qin Jinxuan. Who knew that the housekeeper at home said that he had not returned from his inspection of the city in the past few days, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come. The prince of Chuchen also sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he had something to do today and could not come to the banquet.
He was not there, and Huan Mozhi and Zu Juntian were not here. On weekdays, as long as Sima Yulou is in Beijing, these four people always go in and out together.
Ma Canli pulled Qin Jinzhang to the side and whispered to the side, the latter's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed, "My cousin has just been named a fifth-grade medical officer, and if you find someone to propose marriage now, I'm afraid our old lady will not agree." Alas, Brother Canli, I feel sorry for you......"
Ma Canli was born with handsome facial features, only his complexion was a little pale, his red lips were slightly thin, and he looked a little feminine with a pair of slightly hooked phoenix eyes.
Hearing this, he glanced at Qin Jinzhang, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he laughed softly: "Your old lady is too short-sighted, if I really want to marry her and tell His Royal Highness the Prince, can your family refuse?" I just don't care about overpowering people. …… You go and say it, just lead the people to the place, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Ma Canli has been thrilled since he saw Qin Jinyi at the Pinhan meeting last time. On the Zhuju field that day, Qin Jinyi condensed his purple eyes, dressed in a bearded riding uniform, and his demeanor was graceful, and he had hooked most of his soul.
He had an idea in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is white-skinned and purple-eyed, and after inheriting the unification in the future, the royal bloodline that has been handed down will also be the same. If he marries this Qin Jinxiu home, his future descendants will be consistent with the royal bloodline appearance. What an honor that would be.
He remembered that when Qin Jinyi first returned to Beijing, everyone talked about her Shang Xiutang's background with a little disdain. Even myself. I'm afraid that few people can think of this joint now, and now Huajing's Yekang bloodline, in addition to the queen and the crown prince, there is only one Qin Jinyi.
Ever since he had this thought, he has been out of control. Although he saw Sima Yulou defending her in public that day, he was inevitably a little discouraged in his heart, and he didn't dare to compete with the prince of Chuchen. But then there was no more news. Then the thought came back to life.
He put his hand into his sleeve, rubbed a jade bottle, and chuckled at Qin Jinzhang proudly. "The fragrance of my medicine is imperceptible, but it has a very elegant name called 'Xiao Nong', and she only needs to dip it on a trace. The person in front of him becomes the person in his heart. By then......"
At this, he was a little itchy and chuckled.
He didn't notice the smugness that flashed in Qin Jinzhang's eyes, turned his head and saw Wang Zixiao coming in, patted Qin Jinzhang's shoulder lightly, and walked straight to Wang Zixiao.
"Brother Zixiao, I have some stomach discomfort today, and I want you to help me arrange a place to rest." Ma Canli said with a smile.
Wang Zixiao hurriedly said: "But what did you eat?" Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”
"No, no, no. I feel a little uncomfortable when I go out today, so it's good to rest for a while. ”
Wang Zixiao was relieved. "It's easy to do." As he spoke, he turned around and called a subordinate and told him to take Ma Canli to Zhuxuan.
……
Jin Yi sat in the room for a while, and Mrs. Wang came over. In addition to Mrs. Lin, there were also Yuying and Wang Zichen.
Jin Yi got up to greet Mrs. Wang, smiled and nodded to Yuying, and when she looked at Wang Zichen, she looked stunned.
Her face no longer has the flying look of the past, her face is extremely pale, her eyes are blue, and her eyebrows are like curved willows, which is quite beautiful.
It turned out that she went to the old days of heavy makeup, and her original face was so gentle and delicate.
She was wearing a light green shirt and a snow-white cigarette skirt, walked in front of Jinyi, bowed down deeply, and said softly: "In the past, Zichen was willful and ignorant, and there was a lot of offense, and the second lady's life-saving grace, Zichen dare not forget." ”
As he spoke, he raised his head, although his face could not hide his sick face, his eyes were bright, his tone was very soft, and the whole person was like two people before.
The surprise in Jin Yi's heart could hardly be hidden, and she calmed down before she said indifferently: "The eldest lady is serious, Jin Yi didn't take the past to heart. ”
Mrs. Wang on the side saw Jin Yi's cold attitude, a smile appeared on her face, and she said kindly: "Sister Yi, don't be polite, you cured Yuying and saved Chen'er, you are the great benefactor of our family." ”
Jin Yi looked refreshed, and said with a smile: "Jin Yi is just a gesture, and he should not be praised by the old lady." ”
Wang Zichen stepped aside and sat down, hanging his head and saying nothing.
Several other people chatted with Jin Yi very enthusiastically.
Mrs. Lin said as if unintentionally, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Hou come today?" ”
Jin Yiqing smiled lightly, "My stepmother is unwell and is recuperating at home." ”
Old Madam Wang took advantage of the words and said, "The usual steproom is always a little harsh on the children of the original match, and I don't think Miss Qin San and Sister Yi are too close. ”
Jin Yi smiled and didn't answer the conversation.
When several people saw her like this, they knew that she must have been constrained by her stepmother at home, and they all felt sorry for her in their hearts.
After talking for a long time, it wasn't until the next person came to pay homage and the old lady Huan arrived, Jin Yi stood up and said with a smile: "Today's house is busy welcoming guests, so Jin Yi won't bother the old lady." ”
Old Madam Wang smiled, "Sister Yi will often come to play when she is free in the future." The garden of our house is reasonably decorated. As he spoke, he instructed Yuying to take Jinyi around.
Mrs. Lin helped the old lady to the inner courtyard, and Wang Zichen bowed his head silently and followed behind in an orderly manner.
Yuying accompanied Jin Yi out and smiled softly: "My sister is sick this time, but her temperament is much gentle, and she seems to have changed compared to before." ”
Jin Yi was surprised and funny in her heart, but when she thought of Jin Xuan, she still shook her head secretly, no matter how much she changed, Wang Zichen was still not worthy of Jin Xuan.
As soon as he walked outside the courtyard gate, a small servant ran over and bowed to Yu Ying, "Third Young Grandma, Third Young Master asked you to go back and said that he wanted to find something." ”
Yuying's face was embarrassed, and she looked at Jinyi with some embarrassment.
Jin Yi smiled, "Sister Yuying, let's go get busy, I'll just go back by myself." ”
Yu Ying said apologetically, "I'll come to you later, and I'll accompany you after the banquet." As he spoke, he instructed the girl behind him to take her to Taoyuan.
Jin Yi nodded, took Qiao Wei and Qian Mo, and followed the girl out.
The garden of the Wang family is very large, and a few people walked for a full quarter of an hour before they arrived at the place where the Taoyuan ladies were feasting.
When the people chatting around saw Jinyi, they all raised their eyes, but their eyes were friendly and friendly, and some people came forward to greet her from time to time, changing their previous attitude of exploring and avoiding suspicion. (To be continued.) )
