In the Fengyuan at night, it was not until it was close to the end of the year that Jiang Ke finally returned to the inner room from the study.

Qiu Jinting has been used to it these days.

Since the day the Duchess of Yan Guo came to visit, Jiang Ke had dinner in the study every day before coming back.

Qiu Jinting took it for granted that Jiang Ke was guilty of doing this, so he was anxious to spread the news that he was happy, hoping to take advantage of Jiang Xuan's guilt at this time to completely block Tang Shan from the door of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion.

"I was reading in the study today, and I wasn't disturbed, was I?" Qiu Jinting asked tentatively, she felt that Jiang Ke might not know that she had something happy.

"The study is a clean place to go, and it is rarely disturbed." Jiang Ke continued without any hesitation: "Since you are physically inconvenient, I will go to the study to rest from tonight!" ”

After saying that, he began to tell the maid to go over and help him make the bed.

Not only Qiu Jinting, but even Xiangqiao, who was standing behind her, was stunned and speechless at this time.

The second grandmother diagnosed the happy pulse, but the second grandfather didn't even have a word of concern? Xiangqiao suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Qiu Jinting did not have this awareness, and still insisted that Jiang Ke's abnormal behavior was caused by guilt.

As for Jiang Ke going to sleep in the study, she didn't think there was anything wrong. Before getting married, Qiu Jinting was also instructed by the old grandmother in the princess's mansion, and knew that this was a normal rule.

There was no intention of stopping Jiang Ke, Qiu Jinting just wanted to say a few more words to him, so he casually mentioned the request to let He Qingwan stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days.

"You still have to go to your mother or sister-in-law for this kind of thing!" Jiang Ke had no intention of sitting down, and looked like he was about to leave at any time.

Qiu Jinting was slightly angry in his heart, and he was still very aggrieved and said that he was rejected by Lu Qingrong, but as for Mrs. Wu's objection, he didn't mention it at all.

Originally, she hoped that Jiang Ke could help her say things in front of Mrs. Wu, but she didn't want him to hear that Lu Qingrong had rejected the matter, so he immediately followed suit: "Since my sister-in-law doesn't agree." You don't have to hold on any longer. ”

Hearing this, a nameless fire suddenly arose in Qiu Jinting's heart, and he no longer mentioned He Qingwan. Instead, he planned to have a good deal with Jiang Ke about Tang Shan.

"I heard that the Yanguo Mansion wants to marry their second young lady, have you ever heard of this?" Qiu Jinting asked directly. The tone was a bit tougher.

"I heard." Jiang Ke heard her take the initiative to mention this, but he didn't leave in a hurry.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Jiang Ke continue, Qiu Jinting had to suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked, "Then how do you plan to do it?" ”

"What can I do?" Jiang Ke disagreed, "This kind of thing is naturally subject to the arrangement of the elders." ”

"Then if you are asked to marry her as an equal wife, will it be difficult for us to agree?" Qiu Jinting was a little anxious now.

Being able to ask such a question, it was obvious that she didn't remember how Jiang Ke protected Tang Shan in the study of Yuyuan at that time.

And Jiang Ke heard the "we" in her words. I couldn't help frowning slightly, and seemed to be a little disgusted by this statement.

"Since you mentioned this today, there is something you need to do." Jiang Ke opened his mouth without any hesitation.

Qiu Jinting was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't think of anything she needed to do by herself, so she looked back at Jiang Ke with a blank face.

I saw that Jiang Ke's face finally regained its previous gentleness at this time, and said slowly: "You also know the rules of our Daqi, if you want to marry a flat wife, you must get the permission of the main wife's mother's family before it is feasible, so I thought about it for a long time, and I think it is safest for you to come forward on the princess's side." ”

Jiang Ke said it bluntly. There is no ambiguity.

Before the words fell, Qiu Jinting was already a little dizzy, if it weren't for Xiangqiao behind him, he hurriedly came up and helped him. I'm afraid she's going to fall straight to the ground.

"You...... What do you mean? Qiu Jinting was still supported by Xiangqiao, and his voice trembled slightly.

It's not that she hasn't thought about the worst, after all, it has become a fact that Jiang Ke and Tang Shan were alone in the same room that day, but she felt that the most unfortunate thing was to reluctantly accept a concubine, and it would be up to the sky. I didn't expect the word "flat wife" to be said by Jiang Ke so naturally at this moment, and he had to let himself come forward to lobby the princess's mansion? And from beginning to end, he was alone in his orders, and he didn't have the slightest intention of negotiating.

"I mean, it's not obvious enough?" Jiang Ke frowned and asked.

"Why should I say it?" Qiu Jinting couldn't hide his feelings anymore, "Why hasn't anyone asked my opinion from beginning to end?" I'm also the county lord of the Great Qi Dynasty. What a shame it is to let a concubine of the government be a flat wife? How can I agree? ”

The more Qiu Jinting spoke, the more excited he became.

Jiang Ke's face was still a little gentle just now. At this time, it turned back to gloom, and the determination was overflowing.

"Don't get so excited. I think it's better for you to think it through. Jiang Ke's tone was extremely flat.

The imaginary drama of admitting mistakes and apologizing was not staged, and Qiu Jinting became more and more angry: "Are you sure you want to tell me this at this time?" ”

Qiu Jinting stretched out his hand and stroked his lower abdomen, since he was unmoved by the tantrum, he had to find another way.

Who knew that Jiang Ke didn't have any intention of being soft.

"Now that the happy pulse has been diagnosed, this is a matter of paying attention to the body, and others can't help." Jiang Ke only glanced at her abdomen, "Originally, I also thought about talking about it in a few days, but I mentioned this matter in a hurry today, so it was too early to be late." These status and other rhetoric are secondary, even for the sake of the child in your belly, everything should be thought about, right? ”

Qiu Jinting has been steadfast for many days since he took the reassuring pill on the day he got married, and he didn't immediately hear Jiang Ke's words at this time.

On the contrary, Xiangqiao, who had been supporting her, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when she heard the words, and the strength in her hands subconsciously increased a lot.

Qiu Jinting was slightly pained, and glanced sideways at Xiangqiao with a particularly puzzled expression just now.

And when the master and servant looked at each other, a thought crossed Qiu Jinting's mind like a flint, which made her immediately panic.

Seeing this, Jiang Ke showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, making his originally gloomy face even more weird.

He didn't say anything more, only left a sentence of "think about it again", and then turned and left the inner room and went to the study.

Only Qiu Jinting, who was standing in place, was left.

She wanted to ask Xiangqiao several times, if she had the same worries as herself, but she never made a sound, as if she was afraid of getting a positive answer from Xiangqiao, so it would be difficult for her to continue to lie to herself.

At this time, there was only silence in the inner room of the Maple Courtyard.

Early the next morning, when Mrs. Wu heard that Jiang Ke had taken the initiative to move to the study last night, she was inevitably a little surprised, but it quickly turned into relief.

"Did he really take the initiative on his own?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"That's what the maid of Fengyuan said." Lu's mother hurriedly replied: "It is said that the second grandmother was still a little unhappy at that time. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, "This kid is really sensible, and it is really not easy to know self-discipline at a young age." ”

Listening to Mrs. Wu's sigh, Mother Lu also nodded along the side.

At this moment, the maid came in to tell her that the prince was here.

Mrs. Wu was not surprised, the matter of handling the New Year's ceremony, Lu Qingrong should also report on the time.

However, when Lu Qingrong came in, looking at the New Year's gift list she had written these days, it was a little unexpected for Mrs. Wu.

The top three copies are for the Yanguo Mansion, the Wuding Marquis Mansion and the Chengping Marquis Mansion, whether it is the type or quantity of gifts, they are all very proper, there is nothing inappropriate, Mrs. Wu read these copies, and did not continue to look down.

"Are these your own lists?" Mrs. Wu raised her head and asked.

"Exactly." Lu Qingrong affirmed: "Because there is no charter in previous years, I specially found the list and gift list of the guests of the recent banquet, and carefully listed them. Help us see if there's anything else that needs to be added or removed! ”

Lu Qingrong didn't mention Cao's mother, and her intuition told her that if she said it at this time, it might not be a good thing for Cao's mother.

"No need to change it, the New Year's gift will be prepared according to your list." Mrs. Wu understood at a glance that she had worked hard, and I was afraid that it would not be easy to find faults, so she simply stopped worrying, "Time is a little tight, don't delay, be sure to send it all out before the year!" ”

Lu Qingrong responded easily. I had expected that eighty percent of these things would have to be purchased by myself, and I was already prepared.

It's just that I didn't expect Mrs. Wu to only read the first few copies, so the one in the Anle Hou Mansion must not have seen it.

It seems that this time I really have to give the New Year's gift in my own way...... Lu Qingrong said secretly in his heart.

Back in Yuyuan, Lu Qingrong hurriedly called Mother Ye and Mother Cao.

"That's what the New Year's Gift is, and we need to do it." Lu Qingrong handed the gift list to the two.

"Fortunately, we have prepared in advance, there is nothing rare on it, and time should be very rich." Mother Ye said with a smile.

Mother Cao took the gift list and looked at it for a long time, before she raised her head a little puzzled, "Nothing needs to be modified?" ”

"Nope." Lu Qingrong replied simply.

"The two copies of the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the Anlehou Mansion don't need to be increased or decreased?"

Lu Qingrong nodded again.

Mother Cao then went down with Mother Ye to prepare with a look of doubt.

When Jiang Xuan came back in the evening, he listened to Lu Qingrong tell him about it, but he didn't think twice at all, and directly said that it was good to follow her meaning.

But Lu Qingrong still saw a strange look on Jiang Xuan's face, as if something made him hesitate.

"But what's the matter?" Lu Qingrong asked directly.

I saw Jiang Xuan first stretch out his hand into his arms, but his movements suddenly stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he took his hand back and took out a list from his sleeve instead.

"This is the New Year's gift list from Lord Sun." Jiang Xuan paused slightly, "Today I received the news that Lord Sun and they came from Mobei, because of the long distance, so I gave the New Year's gift in advance." ”

Lu Qingrong stretched out her hand to take it, and she didn't understand why Sun Yiming's New Year's gift made Jiang Xuan so strange. (To be continued) R861
