001 Dead Road
Great Wei Hongyuan twenty-one years.
Loyal and brave Hou Chi Mansion.
Seiran-in.
Just after the end of the day, a series of eager footsteps sounded outside Qinglan Courtyard.
Biyue, the personal maid of the five girls of the Chi family, shook her head helplessly and smiled when she heard the familiar voice.
I saw that the movements in her hands did not stop, while delicately placing the just-brewed Lufeng Yunwu Tea carefully on the small table; On the other hand, he picked up a dark green fan with gold rim, and gently fanned the wind with the girl.
Chi Linglong, the fifth girl of the Chi family, is holding a book in her left hand at the moment, and her right hand is gently twisting the black chess pieces, thinking about the chess game.
The footsteps drew closer and closer, until at last they jumped into the inner room like a nimble finch. The footsteps did not fall, but at the same time, there was a delicate and immature female voice, shouting in the room in a panic, "Girl, something is wrong, your fiancé is going to be robbed!" ”
Biyue, who was still smiling lightly, stiffened the smile on her face when she heard Biyun's words that she was not ashamed, had no sense of proportion, and had no scruples.
I saw her gentle eyebrows, first walked a few steps around the screen and looked at the outer room, and when she found that the two mothers and the little maids were not there, she breathed a sigh of relief invisibly.
Only then did he turn around and go back to the inner room, and warned Biyun angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. The relationship between the girl and the third prince of the Anguo Mansion was decided by the old Duchess before her death. Both parents know about this matter, and they have changed it to a more intimate token, how can the girl's fiancé be robbed for no reason? Hugh is babbling nonsense. ”
Mu Changyao, the third son of the Anguo Duke's Mansion, is the eldest son of the current Anguo Duchess Mu Xie. He is only fifteen years old this year, and because of his young age, An Guogong has not yet asked His Majesty to be crowned the son.
"It's true, it's true." Biyun jumped in the room in a hurry, looking like an ant on a hot pot was very funny. I saw that she hurriedly pulled Chi Linglong's jade-white little hand holding the chess game, shaking her arm, and shouted with red circles in her eyes: "Girl, you believe me." The slave maid has been in the corner of the partition wall of Ziwei Garden, eavesdropping on the conversation between Hong Xuan and Sister Hong Aya next to the eldest lady, and the slave and maid can hear it clearly, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with this news. What can I do, girl? ”
The current eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is also the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Zhou, who is not Chi Linglong's biological mother, but her mother-in-law. That's right, Chi Linglong is a concubine, and her aunt died as early as when she was five years old.
Helpless and unpopular concubines begging for a living in the hands of their mothers-in-law, it is conceivable how life should be difficult.
If the grandmother is a good one, it would be fine, but Zhou is a clever person with a bitter face and a sweet heart, and his scheming and mental arithmetic are far superior to others, and he will do some superficial work the most. On weekdays, in front of Marquis Zhongyong and Mrs. Tai, she pretended to be a biological mother and daughter with Chi Linglong, so she was not affectionate, but behind her back, she hinted that her children and maids gave Chi Linglong no face.
Chi Linglong has been a timid and cowardly since she was a child, and since she fell into the water and was rescued seven years ago, she has become even more silent. Now, the Zhou family has to inch in, and they want to exchange the girl's future lover for her own daughter, the third girl, Chi Mingzhen, Biyun just thought about the news, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
This is the way to kill their girls!
"What are you crying about?" A young girl's voice rang out in the room. The tone of the girl's speech, with itchy laziness and carelessness, and a slight dryness and hoarseness, listened to Biyun's ears, but it was like a natural sound.
Na Na stopped crying, Biyun looked at the moment leaning on the beauty couch, the tender fingertips like shaved onions rubbing the black jade chess pieces, looking at her girl with calm eyes, her expression was stunned for a moment.
The girl in front of her, with bright eyes and bright teeth, plain white cheeks, black hair falling down, wearing a drunken smoke gauze and green dress, is a delicate person. At this moment, her dark bottomless eyes were lazily sweeping over her cheeks, and there seemed to be a bit of wanton looseness in her eyes.
Thousands of golden rays of light poured in through the window, mottled on the ground, and also plated a gorgeous halo on the girl's body. Her black eyes are pure and translucent, as if she can see through people's hearts, and at this moment, it seems even deeper and more immense, so that people dare not act rashly.
"Crying for what?" The girl repeated this question again casually, and her tone was not annoyed and irritated, but rather a bit of seduction.
Biyue carefully handed the green glazed tea cup with tears painted on the black lacquer luodian waist strip to Chi Linglong, and saw the girl's small nose slightly invisible twitch twice, and then Jun Xiu elegant, as if gathering the mountains and rivers Lingxiu's brows frowned, and when the index finger of her left hand was slightly bent and raised, Bi Yue immediately and respectfully withdrew the tea cup again.
Thinking about the tea brewed by Bixiao today, it is not with the girl's appetite......
Biyue habitually walked towards a cage placed on the ground in the room with a teacup.
The cage was covered with a cyan curtain, but inside the cage was a snow-white, as much as an adult's fist-sized hamster, resting listlessly with its head hanging at the moment. Feeling that someone was approaching, it was just a tsundere's erect ears, but he didn't even open his eyes.
This is the girl's pet.
It's just that the way other people have pets is different, and the girl likes to feed the tea and pastries she doesn't like to feed this little thing.
Biyun looked at Biyue, and then at the girl, and finally came back to her senses from her anxiety at this moment. She blinked her misty eyes, and couldn't believe that the girl in front of her was still indifferent and innocent, and she felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Biyun cried incoherently, "Girl, you are the smartest, think about it." Otherwise, if you really let the eldest lady take care of your family affairs at will, how will you live the rest of your life? Big lady, this is going to kill your life! ”
The relationship between Chi Linglong and Mu Changyao, the third son of the Anguo Mansion, was decided by the elders of both sides when Chi Linglong was five years old, and Chi Linglong's biological mother, Aunt Ning, was still alive at that time.
Originally, the people of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion did not agree to this disparity in family affairs, and the Zhou family, the Ning family, and even the biological parents of Mu Changyao of the Anguo Mansion strongly opposed it. However, the old Duchess of Anguo Mansion, who was alive at the time, was rare and stubborn and arbitrary, and stubbornly believed that Chi Linglong was born with a good face, not only a prosperous husband and a child, but also a rich and noble life, so she decided to make a decision on this matter, and personally asked the current loyal and brave marquis Chi Zhongyuan to ask for relatives, and presented the ancestral blood jade unicorn jade pendant as a token.
The door of the Anguo Mansion is a whole level higher than the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, that is, the three girls of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, the eldest daughter of the eldest lady Zhou, Chi Mingzhen, wants to marry into such a hairpin family, they are all Gao Pan, not to mention Chi Linglong's concubine who is not hurt by her mother and her grandmother is not loved.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhou has regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh over the years, and openly and secretly instructed people to give her some "color"; The sisters in the family are even more yin and yang every time they talk to her, openly and sarcastically. Chi Linglong has such a good fate, they are not envious and jealous, and their eyes are green.
Now talking about the fact that the Zhou family wants to change relatives, Chi Linglong feels that it is expected and reasonable. After all, the old Duchess of Anguo Mansion had passed away three years ago, and the current Mrs. Anguo Mansion, Mu Changyao's biological mother, Mu Xie, did not approve of this family affair from the beginning.
Chi Linglong rubbed her swollen temples with a headache and sighed helplessly. Although she didn't have any thoughts about the so-called "fiancé" in her heart, before she found a better way out, she had to try her best to hold this thigh, and Chi Linglong felt quite aggrieved.
Judging from her undiminished resentment and hatred towards her late aunt Ning in the past ten years, if she is really divorced, the Zhou family will marry her to a corrupt family as a step-room as soon as possible, or give her to the likes of the powerful prince as a concubine, or marry her into the family of Shangjia, and people will die without knowing it......
"Did my father ever know about this?" Chi Linglong sighed again, and asked Biyun helplessly.
"Huh?" Biyun, who was crying heartily, suddenly heard the girl's question, and reacted for a long time before blinking her watery eyes, pouting and thinking for a while while crying, and replied stupidly: "No! "This matter has just appeared, and the eldest lady and the Duchess of An Guo have just connected, how can the Hou Ye know?
The brain turned here, and Biyun, who suddenly straightened out the joints, suddenly burst into laughter. I saw that her eyes were bright, and she looked at Chi Linglong with admiration and pride in her eyes and exclaimed: "Girl, you are really the smartest." ”
Although most of the housekeeping affairs are handled by Mrs. Tai and the Zhou family, it is impossible for Lord Hou not to ask about the girl's marriage. Hou Ye is the aunt Ning who loves the girl the most, if he knows about it, he may be angry.
Biyun figured this out, and the whole person was excited for a while. I saw that she seemed to have the confidence of Nuoda, and immediately straightened her small waist, laughing like a little mouse who had stolen oil, and said to Chi Linglong with arrogance and sè: "Yes, with the Hou Ye here, no matter how good the eldest lady's abacus is, it will definitely not work, hum......" That triumphant look made Biyue can't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Chi Linglong also raised her narrow eyeliner, her eyes looked at Biyun with a slight smile, her eyes flashed slightly, but she repeated the last sentence that Biyun had just said meaningfully, "It will never work...... Is it? "Is it for her aunt's sake? As everyone knows, the most indispensable thing in this world is thin**; One of the most ruthless proverbs is that people die like lights go out; The most realistic five words are - financial interests move people's hearts.
"Not really. The slave maid has only figured it out now, not to mention that the Duchess of Anguo has not agreed to the eldest lady's proposal, but she really agreed, there is a Hou Ye in front of you to block the way, and there is the county lord of Shaohua behind to help you say something. The county lord of Shaohua and you are best friends, the most is the best, and she is the niece of the Duchess of Anguo, even if the eldest lady has the intention to change relatives, as long as you let the county lord of Shaohua help you say a few good words, this matter will definitely not be successful. ”
Chi Linglong's jade-white fingers rhythmically tapped on the armrest of the beauty couch, and her every move seemed to be careless, but it had a unique charm. Until he heard the words "Shaohua County Lord", Chi Linglong's dark and pure eyes suddenly appeared in a trance for a moment. After a long time, she seemed to sigh and spit out two words, "Really?" ……”
These two words are too meaningful, and too intriguing, Biyun, who is more and more unable to guess her girl's thoughts, looks at the look on the girl's face and becomes unpredictable, breathing for a while, I don't know if I said something wrong again, but I don't dare to speak in vain.
Biyun lowered her little head, secretly squeezing her eyebrows with Biyue, who was fanning the girl, Chi Linglong ignored the scene in front of her, but her mind couldn't help but intermittently, and the scenes that "Chi Linglong" had experienced in her previous life emerged.
This family affair naturally can't be replaced.
