Chapter 45: Looks Really Good
Qu Miaoling was really at war in her heart, on one side was Situ Huaiqiu's anxious face, and on the other hand, there was the selfless love of the birds.
She felt even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came, she turned her head, and saw Wen Qingruo looking at her with a light smile.
"Qingruo, you're here too!"
Wen Qingruo walked in slowly, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
When Wen Qingruo approached, his eyes were still looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
But Qu Miaoling, who had just experienced an inner struggle, didn't notice it, she threw out the mess in her mind, and let Wen Qingruo lead her to the courtyard.
"You're coming alone?"
"No, I'm here with Wen Qingqian."
"With her?" Qu Miaoling was shocked.
"I don't want to, but my father is very guilty of Wen Qingqian, so I took her to the banquet more and got to know more people."
Thinking of the scene of sitting together to eat a few days ago, Qu Miaoling had an understanding of how much Wen Hongzhi loved his daughter.
"After Wen Qingqian returned home, he didn't bully you!"
After all, with Wen Qing's shallow temperament, he should be resentful of Wen Qingruo, the woman who robbed his home and father.
"How can she bully me, my mother is still the head of the prime minister's house after all."
In fact, what Wen Qingruo didn't say was that since Wen Hongzhi became the prime minister, he didn't care about his mother more and more, and she saw her mother hiding and crying secretly several times.
"It's good that she didn't bully you, but Qingruo, you must be vigilant against her, she is a thoughtful person, if you can, remember to remind your mother, don't fall for it."
Wen Qingruo saw that the other party was worried about herself, she smiled lightly: "I know, why haven't you seen you for a few days, you have become like my mother!"
"That's what your mother said?"
Wen Qingruo nodded, "Don't treat me as a child, it's clear that I'm older than you." ”
"Okay, my good sister, let's go see the scenery in this courtyard?" Regarding Wen Qingruo's dead duck's hard mouth, Qu Miaoling didn't want to debunk it.
After all, if Wen Qing is really younger than her, the other party has to rush to be her sister, and she will follow it. Sisters and sisters are just a title, and there will be no lack of meat.
If Wen Qingruo agreed, the two of them walked forward along the path, and when they were tired of walking, the two of them returned the same way and returned to the front hall.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Mrs. An from the Jingkang Hou Mansion came over, Qu Miaoling's eyes flashed with joy, she stood up and shouted affectionately, "Auntie." ”
Mrs. An also saw Qu Miaoling and walked towards her, the two of them who hadn't seen each other for a few days seemed like they hadn't seen each other for several years, if it weren't for this occasion, they would probably be able to hug each other and cry.
Here, Mrs. An greeted Qu Miaoling with warmth, but over there, Wen Qingruo's eyes were attracted by Min Tian behind Mrs. An, and she couldn't take it off.
"Auntie, this is-" Qu Miaoling was stunned, and she saw Wen Qingruo's state of affairs in her eyes.
But she still took Wen Qingruo's hand and came to Mrs. An's side, "Auntie, this is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Qingruo." ”
"This girl looks really good." Mrs. An immediately boasted, she knew that this girl had a good relationship with her when she saw Qu Miaoling's expression, and Mrs. An, who supported her niece the most, was of course Aiwu and Wu, and she also believed in Qu Miaoling's vision.
"Mrs. An, you are so embarrassed, you are really beautiful!"
Mrs. An was coaxed to close her mouth, and repeatedly said that Wen Qingruo was broken by Qu Miaoling.
But it cannot be denied that she is useful in her heart.
Soon, Wen Qingruo subdued Mrs. An, and Mrs. An even asked Wen Qingruo to call her aunt directly, just like Qu Miaoling.
Wen Qingruo was a little squirming, but under Qu Miaoling's eyes, she glanced at Min Tian behind her again, and then said in a coquettish voice: "Auntie." ”
"Hey." Mrs. Ann smiled, so unpleasant
She dragged Min Tian over, "Tian'er, this is Miao Ling's friend, call my sister quickly." ”
"Sister Qingruo."
Wen Qingruo's face turned red instantly.
Qu Miaoling on the side still didn't understand anything, the last time she had a straight look in the Wenfu, this time she had a shy and timid expression.
Wen Qingruo likes her second brother!
This thought was like a bomb, "booming" in Qu Miaoling's mind.
"Aunt, second brother, you just came, I arrived first, I am quite familiar with this place, walk around the store?"
Mrs. An readily agreed, and Min Tian only cared about talking to Qu Miaoling throughout the whole process, so naturally there was no objection.
Wen Qingruo walked beside Mrs. An, while Qu Miaoling followed behind Min Tian, and the four of them were not far apart.
Qu Miaoling could even hear every word Wen Qingruo had ever said.
"Second brother, do you have a favorite girl?"
Min Tian was stunned, "What do you say, the eldest brother hasn't married a wife yet, I can ...... there"
Qu Miaoling was in a hurry, why didn't this second brother understand what she meant.
"I'm not talking about marrying a wife, what I'm asking is whether you have a favorite girl in your heart, the kind that you have made for life."
"Is there any use in my heart? This marriage event has always been the words of the matchmaker of the parents. ”
When Min Tian said this, he didn't have any regrets, as if it was like this.
Qu Miaoling is relieved, it's good if there is no one you like.
"What do you think of Qingruo?"
"She's a good girl."
Qu Miaoling sighed in her heart, it's over, does the second brother have a good impression of Wen Qingruo?
"You like her?" Min Tian immediately turned his head, "What nonsense are you talking about, don't think that you are my sister, I won't dare to beat you." ”
"Then you still say that people are good girls!" Qu Miaoling touched his head that was appreciated, and said with grievances in his small voice.
"If it weren't for you, would I like her!"
There was a feeling of hatred in Min Tian's voice, Qu Miaoling instantly understood, and let go of a nervous heart.
This likes it and doesn't like it, Qu Miaoling is relieved.
She looked at Wen Qingruo, who coaxed Mrs. An in front of her.
She is speculative with her personality and is a good friend, but she remembers that Wen Qingruo's health is worse than Wen Qing's, she has heart disease when she was a child, and she died before she married in her previous life.
At that time, she and Wen Qingruo were just nodding friends, and when she heard the news of her death, she didn't feel anything in her heart.
But now it's different, she has a good relationship with Wen Qingruo, even so, she feels that Wen Qingruo is not suitable for being with her second brother.
One way or another, they are not suitable.
Thinking like this, Qu Miaoling made up her mind to let Wen Qingruo give up this idea. The four of them walked with their companions for a long time, Mrs. An was tired, so she took Min Tian away, Wen Qingruo still looked at Min Tian's back, so he didn't look infatuated.
Qu Miaoling only felt panicked in her heart.
"Qingruo, let's go back too."
Wen Qingruo responded, with some regret in his voice.
"Miao Ling, does your second brother have a marriage contract?"
Qu Miaoling didn't expect Wen Qingruo to be so straightforward.
"Not yet."
Wen Qingruo's eyes lit up instantly, "Haven't decided yet?" ”
"But Qingruo, my aunt has already made arrangements for the marriage of several brothers."
"Really?" Wen Qingruo's eyes dimmed.
"Moreover, my second brother also said that he will obey his aunt's arrangement and obey his parents' orders."
Wen Qingruo's eyes darkened even more.
Looking at Wen Qingruo who was so sad, Qu Miaoling was also a little unbearable, "Let's go, let's hurry up." ”
"Hmm."
When the two returned to the front hall, Qu Miaoling was thinking about how to comfort Wen Qingruo, when another pair of uninvited guests arrived.
Jiang Jingjing and Wen Qingqian had a very happy conversation and approached all the way.
Faintly, Qu Miaoling could hear the jewelry, clothes, rouge, gouache and other things in the mouths of the two.
Seeing Qu Miaoling, Wen Qingqian did not raise his eyebrows coldly, but put down the hand holding Jiang Jingjing, walked over to Qu Miaoling, and said with a decent smile: "Sister, you are also there." ”
Qu Miaoling smiled back with a gentle smile, "Prince Jing's housewarming banquet, where can I not come?" ”
"That's natural, after all, if you count it, my sister and the prince are also cousins, so naturally they are coming, and they are shallow and confused."
"Where, my sister is the most intelligent."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, you came and went, as if they were in a good place.
Looking at the nobles not far away, I couldn't help but sneer.
If the relationship is really good, how could this Wen Qingqian return to the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, and he didn't say that he would go to the Wudehou Mansion to have a look.
Hypocrisy!
The ladies snorted coldly in their hearts.
The attitude of others does not affect Qu Miaoling and Wen Qingqian's hypocrisy and grievances.
"Sister, after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything is okay?"
"Naturally, my sister is comfortable staying in the Hou Mansion, and there is no strange feeling when she returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"That'll be fine."
"I wonder how my sister met Qingruo?" Wen Qingqian seemed to have just noticed Wen Qingruo.
"I met Qingruo at the birthday banquet in Wenfu, and it was very speculative."
"Really?"
Wen Qingqian's feelings for Wen Qingruo are very complicated, on the one hand, she is very Wen Qingruo's mother snatched her mother's position, she can't deal with the Wang family, so she transfers her anger to Wen Qingruo, and on the other hand, Wen Qingruo is good to her, although she can't be said to be as close as a sister, but when she was in Wenfu, the Wang family embarrassed her, and Wen Qingruo rescued her several times.
This complex emotion is all contained in that glance, Wen Qingruo saw it, she walked over and blessed her body slightly, "I've seen my sister." ”
Wen Qingqian hurriedly supported her, "My sister is not in good health, so don't be too tired." ”
"Not well?"
Qu Miaoling pretended to know.
"Qingruo was weak when he was a child, and he suffered from heart disease." Wen Qingqian sighed, as if he cared much about Wen Qingruo.
On the surface, Na Wu Dehou was extremely sad about the death of the county lord of Huiling.
But he didn't even keep up with the three-month mourning period, so he repeatedly came to her room to mess with her.
Sometimes Wu Dehou works in the study, and she pretends to send soup in the name of sending soup, and she has to be with Wu Dehou in the blue sky and daylight.
In those days, although it was ridiculous, it could not be denied that Wu Dehou also loved her very much at that time, after all, the county lord of Huiling was too indifferent, and he was extremely disliked about love affairs, and after having Qu Miaoling's daughter, Wu Dehou was difficult to even enter the county lord's room.
He wanted to steal fish, but the identity of the county lord was there, and he didn't dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts.
Now that Lord Huiling is gone, his heart is relieved, and Knowles has become the best tool for him to dissipate his desires.
Knowles and Wu Dehou maintained an unclear relationship like this, that is, three months have passed, and Knowles has been hanging his ears on Wu Dehou's pillow countless times, saying that his body has been given to him, and there is no other way out in the future, let Wu Dehou marry her.
But Wu Dehou didn't agree at all, and pressed her with the identity of the county lord, saying that she couldn't be a wife.
She was angry at the time, although her behavior of climbing the bed was shameless, but she was also an innocent girl from a good family.
quarreled with Wu Dehou for a while, she relied on Wu Dehou's liking, thinking that the other party would compromise.
only to learn that the other party was about to marry a wife.
She is also the daughter of a merchant.
Knowles was angry, but it didn't work, Wude waited for her to be locked up and released after his wedding.
By the time Knowles came out in despair, Wu Dehou had already blended oil with Wen's honey, so he was so unhappy.
Later, she was chased out of the house by the Wen family.
She still remembers Wen's words, "What can't be on the table, when the Hou Mansion is a place, if you don't get out of the way, I will sell you!" ”
Wen took her to Liwei, and Hou Ye was in the study in the front yard that day, and Knowles knew that Wu Dehou was going to give up on her.
She packed her luggage, but was inspected by Wen's maid, and all the valuable things in it were detained, and she left in a hurry with a few clothes.
A woman's family, there is no way to survive, so she married a sick seedling, and the sick seedling's mother is very powerful, and she has been tormented a lot.
I get up before dawn to work, cooking, sweeping the yard, feeding the pigs, going up the hill to cut the grass, and even farming.
Her face was rough, her heart was soft, and she had no strength to fight.
More than ten years have passed, the sick seedling died, and he did not leave a son and a half daughter, and her life was even more difficult.
Her mother-in-law sold her, and she almost went to the pickled place to work as a lowly prostitute.
Just then, Gentle appeared.
Her appearance was like a ray of light.
"It's not me who saved you, it's Miss."
The memory returned, and Knowles quickly knelt down and said respectfully: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”
"You know me?"
"You are the daughter of the county lord of Huiling, and the women of the people know you." Knowles' bent waist pressed even lower.
"That's fine, you know why I came here today!"
Knowles nodded, "The woman understands." ”
Qu Miaoling was satisfied, "Gently, take her over." ”
Knowles got up and followed the gentle guidance to leave.
Gently came back to look at Miss, and said with doubts on her face: "Miss, do you think she can succeed?" ”
The old god Qu Miaoling was saying, "She can." ”
The look in her eyes at that moment just now was fierce and mixed with revenge, and it was hard for her to imagine that this was the eyes of a middle-aged woman who had suffered a lot.
However, thanks to Qu Miaoling, she understood that she died so miserably in her previous life, didn't she lose confidence?
Now every day she lives is earned.
Thinking like this, Qu Miaoling walked towards the front hall with a gentle attitude.
"Is my good father here?"
"The old man came after the next court, and now he is chatting with a few adults."
Qu Miaoling nodded, now it's up to Knowles' means.
Wu Dehou was talking to the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and from Qu Miaoling's point of view, he could still see the gaping lips of the two of them.
Qu Miaoling couldn't help frowning, and then looked away.
"What is the identity assigned to Knowles?"
"It's the cook of Prince Jing's mansion, helping here."
After gently finding Knowles, she was placed in another courtyard, and during this time, she was reborn again, maintaining her skin and adjusting her state, so that her hands are now delicate and her cheeks are full.
Needless to say, this Knowles is really a beautiful woman, and despite going through so much, people are still beautiful.
After being polished, Wen's flashed a different kind of brilliance.
I don't know if I've seen enough of Wen's pretentiousness, Wu Dehou will still like Knowles.
"Miss, Knowles has appeared!"
Over there, Knowles lowered his head, wearing the clothes of the mother-in-law in the house, dark black dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, at this time, Wu Dehou suddenly separated from the waiter, walked forward with high interest, and collided with Knowles.
"Ahh
Wu Dehou's clothes were dirty, he was furious, and he was about to get angry, when he saw Knowles's face raised up.
Wu Dehou seemed to be frozen.
His eyes widened in shock, it was her!
I haven't seen her for many years, Knowle's hair is curled at the back of her head, she should be a married woman, but her cheeks are white and tender, her lips are also red, her neck is slender, and she is raised upward, and the spring color of her face is in strong contrast with the dark black coarse cloth clothes.
Qu Miaoling saw that Wu Dehou's throat "clanged", and then his eyes blinked a few times, and he stretched out his hand towards Knowles, with salivation for finding a treasure in his voice.
"It's okay!"
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm sorry, the slave is willing to be punished."
Knowles bowed down and lay on the ground, his smooth back exposed to Wu Dehou's eyes, and his spitting movements became more obvious.
Seeing all this, Qu Miaoling snorted coldly.
She's a real father, and she really can't change her eating.
"Gently, you keep staring."
Then she went to the front hall to find Wen Qingruo.
After Qu Miaoling left, Wu Dehou dragged the Knowles to the shade of the tree, where there were few people.
Wu Dehou couldn't wait to hold Knowles' hand, just like a lover he hadn't seen for many years, with affection in his eyes.
"After all these years, where have you been, I am looking for you everywhere!"
This look, if he didn't know that Wu Dehou was at home that day and hid from her, Knowles would really have to believe it.
Knowles sneered in his heart, and then fell into Wu Dehou's arms like a little white flower, and said in a choked voice: "Master Hou, I-no, the folk woman has finally found you!" ”
Folk women?
Although he also knew that Knowles should be married by looking at the other party's dress, he still felt harsh at first glance.
"Your husband just let you do these menial jobs?"
He touched Knowles's hand and looked at the small scars on it, and his heart ached.
Knowles suddenly woke up, she suddenly retracted her hand, and lowered her head so that Wu Dehou couldn't see her face clearly.
"The husband of the woman is dead."
Wu Dehou was happy again.
"And you're now—"
"The woman works as a cook in the prince's mansion, and she has 3 dollars of silver a month."
Knowle's voice said timidly.
"Then do you want to ...... with me" Wu Dehou was about to say it, but he felt that he was abrupt.
And Knowles now knows this man's temperament very well, and he naturally won't cherish it when she takes the initiative to send it over.
"Master Hou, the women are leaving, there is still a lot of work to do, and if they don't do well, they will be punished." Knowles turned around and made a gesture of leaving.
Wu Dehou was really anxious, he grabbed Knowles's arm and said, "You wait, I'll take you away!" ”
At this time, Knowles had already taken a few steps, leaving Wu Dehou to stare at Knowles's back, and kept swallowing saliva.
"Master Hou?" At this time, Wen walked in slowly, and saw that Wu Dehou had been staring in one direction, and she also looked over, but there was nothing over there, and she almost thought that Wu Dehou had fallen into evil.
After a while, Wu Dehou still ignored her, and Wen shouted again, and then called back Wu Dehou's god.
Wu Dehou turned his head and saw Wen's face that he had been looking at for more than ten years, and he frowned slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Something?"
Wen shook his head, and Wu Dehou left without saying anything.
Looking at Wu Dehou's back, Wen was extremely surprised, and then followed the pace of the man in front of him.
