Chapter 222: Sister Yun'er's Marriage
Xu Qirong suddenly remembered that he saw Xu Qiyun and Xu Qiyu quarreling in the garden.
asked, "Is the third sister engaged?" β
Princess Pingtai nodded, and Mama Gui said: "It's not a marriage, when exchanging Geng posts, I specially asked Xu Guo's and Aunt Qiao's grandmother to watch, and the family affairs were all booked, so I taught us to know here in Lanzhi Academy...... It's clear that you don't look at Your Highness in your eyes! β
Xu Qirong frowned, and looked down at a box placed on the high table, which contained six kinds of food, including salt peanuts, small potatoes, raw chestnuts, bitter almonds, pickled plums and fried melon seeds, none of which Princess Pingtai liked to eat.
I can't help but feel a little sad, Princess Pingtai's days in Lanzhi Courtyard are so sad, it is better to live in the Buddha Hall at the beginning!
Princess Pingtai didn't care about herself, and said lightly: "The person Sister Yun said is Duan Xu's eldest grandson, he came to the Xu family once, I quietly went to take a look, and he is a handsome young man." What's more, he is still a two-rank jinshi and has an official position. β
When Xu Qirong heard this, he frowned, according to the world's opinion, Xu Qiyun is a high climber. Not to mention that he is the grandson of Lord Duan, even if he is just from an ordinary family, he has won two Jinshi, and his value has also risen. However, in the eyes of Xu Tingjin and Duan Xu, this is not the case, I am afraid that this family affair is just a means for the Duan family to show their loyalty!
Xu Tingjin, Liang Wenjing, and Duan Xu are mixed together, and sooner or later something will happen. But Xu Qiyun marries a certain family, and he may not be able to escape in the future. But he chose Duan Xu's eldest grandson!
Mama Gui explained for Princess Pingtai: "Your Highness is merciful, Sister Yun is a child in the end. The fault of being a father cannot be counted as a daughter. Therefore, His Highness tried to stop this affair. It's just that they are wishful thinking, and His Highness has no choice. β
Xu Qirong remembered Xu Qiyun's smug appearance just now, and shook his head: "The third sister won't think it's a disaster, I'm afraid that the third sister will wait for this opportunity to let Xu Qiyu and the Yan family open their eyes and take a look, it's not that she Xu Qiyun can't find a better husband!" β
Mama Gui nodded: "No, don't say it's Sister Yun, it's that Qiao's." I'm so happy! I heard that last evening, someone specially sent a few pieces of cloth to the Yan family, saying that Sister Yun had found a good family, and everyone had such a good relationship. Rejoice and rejoice together! β
It's strange that the Yan family and the Xu family have a good relationship, and they got acquainted with each other before because of Yan Youan and Xu Qiyun's family affair, but later the family affair collapsed, and Mrs. Qiao basically regarded the Yan family as a life and death enemy!
Mrs. Qiao's move. It's really naΓ―ve! Behind the Yan family stood His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chen Jinkun. She is so loud that she has no face for the Yan family, if people find an opportunity to slander His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Tingjin will not be able to eat and leave!
Xu Qirong understands this truth! Mrs. Qiao is worthy of growing up with Aunt Qiao's grandmother, and she has not been taught seriously like the ladies of a big family, and her brain is really a little bit unenlightened.
Xu Qirong looked up at Princess Pingtai: "Does grandmother want to take care of this matter?" β
Princess Pingtai glanced at the box on the high table, and her face was still cold: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." What does it have to do with me. β
That's what it means to be hands-off.
Princess Pingtai didn't interfere in this matter, Xu Qirong was naturally happy. If it weren't for Xu Qiyun's instigation in his previous life. With words to induce, how could she do those shameless things, and then happily marry to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion? Xu Qiyun is now engaged to Duan Zhibai, a two-list jinshi, at least that Duan family will not be harsh on her, and it is much better than her previous life.
After talking to Princess Pingtai for a while, the snow had begun to fall outside, and Xu Qirong hurriedly got up to say goodbye...... If the snow is heavy and the road is not easy to walk, you will have to stay here for one night. Her Fenghua Courtyard was kept, but she couldn't bear to see Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Qiao, so she hurried away while the snow was not falling.
The carriage walked from Ruyi Lane to Jiuru Lane, and when it came out of Jiuru Lane, it turned a corner and was the Silver Ingot Bridge. At the head of the bridge is Xu Qirong's Xinglin Medical Center.
There are a few wax plum blossoms in front of the Xinglin Medical Center, which were transplanted by Ye Lin last year, and by this time this year, they are full of yellow buds, but the buds are tightly wrapped and refuse to open.
When passing by, Xu Qirong suddenly smelled a strong aroma, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop: "Go and see, is the plum blossom blooming?" β
The coachman smiled: "Miss, you don't have to look at it, as soon as you smell this fragrance, you will know that it is the plum blossom." β
Qiu Nong smiled: "Girl, why don't I go down and cut a few branches, go back and fill some water with that ice blue cracked plum bottle, plug it in, and put it on the windowsill?" β
Xu Qirong suddenly remembered the scene when Hua Weijing helped him fold flowers when he was in the Shen family in Yangzhou, thought about it, and said with a smile: "The snow has not fallen yet, I will go down with you." Prune a few more branches, and put a bottle in my father's study when the time comes. β
Qiu Nong sighed hurriedly, helped Xu Qirong put on the hat on his cloak, and only showed a small face, and stuffed a small hand stove in Xu Qirong's sleeve for her to hold. The charcoal in this small hand stove was added from Lan Zhi Courtyard before it came out, and it was hot! Qiu Nong wrapped Xu Qirong's whole person into zongzi, and then he was relieved to help the person out of the carriage.
Xu Qirong was in a trance, she remembered that this kind of thing had happened in her previous life, at that time she was already married to Yun Lan, and Yun Lan had not yet turned her face with her. The two went to Shichahai to see Lamei on a snowy day. I have always been afraid of the cold, so I wrapped myself in a ball before getting out of the carriage. Yun Lan disliked her for being too clumsy, refused to wait for her, and left first, only an old woman beside her hugged her, and moved forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.
This distraction, the feet are a little careless, one staggered, fortunately, Qiu Nong reacted quickly, and hurriedly picked up the one in his hand and stuffed it into the hands of a little maid named Cailiu who followed behind. Cai Liu is also a third-class maid, and she was good friends with Cai Yue at the beginning. Then as soon as he grabbed his hand, he stabilized the person.
Qiu Nong's figure is five big and three thick, and his strength is also great, Xu Qirong came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and walked to the front of Xinglin Medical Hall.
From a distance, I saw a woman wearing a white jacket and skirt standing behind Lamei Cong, and behind the woman stood a maid holding an urn.
Xu Qirong was taken aback: "Mrs. Ye, what are you doing here?" β
Mrs. Ye turned her head and smiled at her, and said, "This is the first snow this winter, and my husband said that this plum snow is excellent for soaking in the snow in Bitan, so I was asked to collect an urn of snow water." β
Xu Qirong's brows were furrowed, the material of the jacket on Mrs. Ye's body was excellent, but it was a little thin, not to mention that the snow that had just fallen was dripping, and when it fell to the plum blossoms, it turned into water. It is necessary to collect snow water, and it is necessary to wait until after a night of heavy snowfall. Xu Qirong glanced inside the urn, and there was not even a mouthful of water in it.
Looking at Mrs. Ye again, her face was miserable and pale, and her ten fingers were shaking all the time, obviously too cold. Xu Qirong hurriedly pinched Mrs. Ye's waist, and inside the jacket, it turned out to be just a single dress. Hurriedly stuffed his hand stove into Mrs. Ye's hand. When I touched her fingers, I felt that those hands were colder than the snow floating in the air.
Mrs. Ye has been recuperating since she was kicked by Ye Lin last time, and Ye Lin has also taken care of her meticulously, serving all kinds of precious medicinal materials and tonic meals carefully. I have been raising it for more than a year, and I am better and can get out of bed. Now it's freezing in the wind and snow, I'm afraid I'm going to fall ill again.
Xu Qirong asked, "Did he ask you to come out to collect snow water now?" β
Mrs. Ye said curiously: "I'm not sick, so I'm here to do this hard work." β
Xu Qirong felt that this Ye Lin was simply sick, and he finally raised people, and then practiced to death like this! At that moment, he was angry and said, "You go in, I'll tell him to go!" β
Mrs. Ye pursed her lips and pulled a smile: "Miss doesn't have to be angry because of our husband and wife's affairs, he is uncomfortable, but it is not a big deal to let me freeze...... Miss, you're here to cut flowers, right? The one next to it is better than this one, you just need to pick the one with more flowers and bones. β
Xu Qirong was very puzzled by Mrs. Ye's attitude: "You will die of cold!" If you don't die of cold, you'll die of illness too! β
Mrs. Ye shook her head: "Miss, what she said is not right. Why am I also the daughter of a merchant, and how can he also be a miracle doctor in people's mouths, where is it so easy to die? β
Is this relying on medical skills to take life and death seriously?
Xu Qirong opened his mouth, but instead he was poured a breath of cold air, coughed a few times, and thought to himself, not only is Doctor Ye sick, but even this Mrs. Ye looks like she has a sick brain, no wonder she entered a door! Don't bother with the two of them anymore!
Then she really ignored Mrs. Ye, took the scissors from Cai Liu's hand, Qiu Nong and Cai Rong picked out the flower branch and pulled it to her, and she stretched out her hand holding the scissors from her sleeve to cut the flower branch.
I'm obviously afraid of the cold, so I'm afraid that I can't do it, but I have to cut it myself!
Qiu Nong couldn't cry or laugh when she saw her girl like this, so she had to say: "The girl stands a little farther away, this snow melts on the flower branches, wet, be careful to throw your face...... The servant pulled some more. β
Xu Qirong shook his head and didn't move: "If it is broken, Doctor Ye will trouble us!" β
Qiu Nong fluttered and was happy, Xu Qirong covered himself in the cloak, revealing a small and white face, moving and moving, like the squirrel named Guiyu raised in the previous storm.
Xu Qirong saw Qiu Nong laughing at himself, and he didn't take it seriously, pointed to the slightly higher branches, and said, "That branch is good, you help me pull it down!" β
Qiu Nong tried a few times, but he couldn't reach it at all, and was about to go to the carriage to call the coachman to help, when he heard a sound of footsteps behind him. Then Xu Qirong felt that someone was standing next to her, and a bamboo umbrella was directly placed on top of her head. A slender figure walked up to Qiu Nong's side and broke off the plum blossom that Xu Qirong had pointed to before. (To be continued......)
