Chapter 700: Wooing
When the carriage arrived at the Xia Mansion, the little servant hurriedly stepped forward.
"Third Miss, it's here."
The curtain was lifted, but only the man's stunning side face was seen, the little guy cleverly lifted the curtain, and Wei Qian jumped out of the car with the woman in his arms.
The frame was one meter high, and the little guy wanted to reach out to help, but he saw Wei Qian's jump like walking on the ground, and there was not even a trace of undulation in the hand holding the woman.
Wei Qian naturally hugged the woman and walked all the way to the small courtyard.
He wanted to gently put the woman on the bed, but he didn't expect the woman's hands to pull at his clothes so dishonestly, and her mouth was still chattering.
"Big pig's trotter, don't run!"
The small mouth pouted slightly, but the movements in his hands were simply pulling his clothes, and a cold feeling came from the woman's fingertips, and the excited Wei Qian's expression stiffened.
"Bang!"
The woman was thrown directly onto the bed and couldn't help but let out an "oops".
This fall, she seemed to wake up in a daze, this ancient wooden frame bed, it really hurt to be dropped like this, and her tears almost rushed out.
The woman stroked her buttocks, looked at the cold-faced adult in front of her, and cursed.
"What kind of nerves are you!"
I slept well, and suddenly gave her a moment, and the anger came up.
Wei straightened out the clothes on his body expressionlessly, his heart was a little empty, but it was a little heavy just now, and he replied: "You are too heavy!" ”
"You ......," the woman spat fragrantly.
Wei Qian only didn't hear it, and the left ear went in and out of the right ear, until the woman fell asleep again,
When she woke up in the morning, she felt that her waist and legs were sore, as if she was being weighed down by some heavy object.
When I opened my eyes, I found that she was wearing a gorgeous dress, and she didn't even take off her socks, so she just lay on the bed and wrapped in a quilt.
Dressed so heavily and sleeping all night, can your body not be tired and heavy?
I don't know who served her sleep yesterday!
After the maid finished serving the woman to wash, Wei Qian appeared in front of the woman in white clothes and said that she wanted to eat together.
The woman didn't look at him, only gently pounded her sore waist, grinned in pain, and her little face wrinkled into a bun.
Wei Qian's eyebrows were flirtatious, and he asked playfully.
"Hurt your back?"
The woman snorted, and her face was loveless.
"I don't know which little maid waited for me to sleep yesterday, and she didn't even take off her clothes for me, and I didn't sleep well all night."
Hearing this, Wei Qian's expression was a little uncomfortable, he lowered his eyes, and his voice was faint.
"It's me."
The woman's eyes widened, she looked at Wei Qian in disbelief, and after a while, she looked disgusted: "I said it!" Since you can't take care of me, why don't you call a maid to serve me? ”
Being stared at a little uncomfortable, Wei Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the innocence of the lady, I would be much stronger than those maids." ”
Hearing this, the woman quickly withdrew her gaze.
She got up angrily, and when she sat down at the table, she was a little more sober.
Wei Qian's action of eating was pleasing to the eye, and he took a bowl of porridge and retreated to the woman's side
He asked, "Yesterday, what did Princess Taihe say to you at the banquet?" ”
"She said she was going to stay with her for a few days."
The woman took a bite of the crystal bun and analyzed indifferently: "I'm not going!" Who knows what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd, maybe she likes my beauty and plots against me. ”
Wei Qian: "......"
"Princess Taihe is dedicated to the Buddha and widowhood, who knows that she is already uniting the courtiers behind her back, turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain in the court."
Wei Qian revealed the information about Princess Taihe to the woman, but did not forget to send his blessings: "I can win her favor, I want to congratulate the lady on her ascension." ”
The woman swallowed the bun in her mouth, her eyes mixed with suspicion.
"How do you know about Princess Taihe's private affairs?"
"The people who attended the banquet yesterday were mixed, and there were always a few people who chewed the root of their tongues, and they happened to be heard by the husband."
Wei Qian was about to make up something when the voice of a maid outside interrupted him.
"Miss, there is a post from Princess Taihe's mansion, please come over."
The woman raised her eyebrows, although she didn't want to make friends, but the princess had an invitation, so she couldn't refuse, so she got up and changed into a robe, and rode to the princess's mansion in a carriage.
Princess Taihe was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, with a kind face, and she seemed to be chanting.
"Yesterday's incident, how did you think about it?"
"Princess Taihe appreciates, the folk girl is grateful, but the husband thinks that I am still more suitable for business, if I inherit the family business, our husband and wife will be satisfied."
The woman's attitude was respectful, so that Princess Taihe couldn't find a thorn, but she politely rejected Princess Taihe's idea.
was picked out, Princess Taihe was not angry, she was still that amiable appearance, and the Buddhist beads in her hand collided and made a crisp sound.
"You are a smart person, presumably your husband is not far behind, if your husband participates in this year's imperial examination, the third lady can talk to the palace, and it is not difficult to promote one or two."
"Thank you, princess, for your kindness." The woman smiled and thanked her, but she didn't take Princess Taihe's words to heart.
Although Wei Qian was a scholar, he had never heard him mention that he wanted to participate in the imperial examination, and his goal should not be to be an official today.
Besides, there is no pie in the sky.
She has no strengths, and she is not worthy of Princess Taihe's efforts, if she really wants to do things under Princess Taihe, she has no real skills, and she is just cannon fodder.
What's more, she has no interest in officialdom at all.
All she has in her eyes is money.
Coming out of Princess Taihe's mansion, the woman felt relieved, and as soon as she arrived at the Xia Mansion, the woman was invited by the servant to the main hall, where the middle-aged man was waiting for her.
"What's the matter with Daddy?"
The woman knew that she was appreciated by Princess Taihe, and how could a middle-aged man be so shrewd that he couldn't help but interrogate.
The middle-aged man smiled when he saw the woman and hurriedly welcomed the person.
"You just went to see Princess Taihe, what was the result?"
The woman was relieved and replied truthfully: "The princess intended to woo her daughter and wanted her daughter to be a servant, but her daughter refused. ”
The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze suddenly, Princess Taihe has a high status, and she appreciates it, it is a great favor from the Xia family, how can she easily refuse!
The woman saw what the middle-aged man was thinking, and sighed slightly: "Dad, there are many talented people around the princess, and the daughter staying by the princess's side represents the entire Xia family, but the daughter has no talent and no virtue, and if she accidentally offends the noble, the whole family will be implicated in the end, and the daughter is determined to do business, and she is even more unwilling to gamble with the Xia Mansion." ”
A middle-aged man is not a stupid person, he is also clear about the stakes in officialdom, Xia Mansion is his half-life effort, ordinary people may seem to be wealthy families, but they are just ants in the hands of high-ranking and powerful people.
