Rong Ruizhang's footsteps paused for a moment, and he looked back at Wei Qingqing, but it was Wei Qingqing's ultimatum.

"Granny Jiang should live enough at her age, for the sake of her serving me for a few years, I am willing to keep her alive, but if Xiangye is not rare Mrs. Zhang's archway, you can do it according to your own heart." After Wei Qingqing finished speaking, he walked to the cave.

How could Rong Ruizhang not care about his mother's archway?

Because of that archway, every time the courtiers mentioned the sins of their father who died in the prison, they could use this to block back.

"Wei Qingqing, should I really kill her?" Rong Ruizhang was betting that Wei Qingqing would not bear it, but Wei Qingqing threw down a sentence: "Didn't Xiangye say that I was vicious?" I've always been so vicious, an old life, does Xiangye think it's worth sacrificing myself? Besides, there is a great marriage waiting for me right now. ”

"Wei Qingqing, do you really want to marry another man so much?"

Rong Ruizhang didn't believe it, his wife was full of only herself, and no matter how she snubbed her, she never complained, and she was willing to raise a concubine in the backyard for him, and raise his concubine, how could she want to marry another man!

Wei Qingqing looked back at him and saw that he really looked incredulous. Nodding at him earnestly, seeing that he was even more angry, he bent his eyes and happily walked towards the other exit of the cave.

And Rong Ruizhang looked at her walking away with her hands in her hands, and for the first time, she felt as if something had really left him.

"Xiangye, it's ...... outside"

Gong Chang looked at him in a trance, and couldn't help but remind.

Rong Ruizhang gritted his teeth. He turned his head and went to the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he came out, he saw the ladies who were curious to look here, and as for the county lord of Chiyang, he was long gone.

Rong Che stopped his hand making the piano when he heard that Rong Ruizhang was blocked by the ladies.

The maid brought warm water, and after Rong Che cleaned her hands, the little maid on one side dared to step forward again to remind: "Second master, the third lady of the Grand Commander's Mansion has been waiting outside for a long time, do you see if it is ......?"

"This piano has been ready, send it to Qingqing, see if she is smooth." Rong Che dried his hands, as if he hadn't heard the little girl's words, and walked in the direction of the front yard.

The little guy looked at his second master's Jiaowei piano, which had been polished intermittently for many years, such a valuable thing, just take it to Miss Wei casually? Can Miss Wei see the value of this piano?

Thinking about it, the little guy still didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked someone to carefully wrap the piano and take it out.

When it comes out. I just bumped into Wei Susu.

Wei Susu recognized at a glance what the little girl was holding, and also knew the origin of this piano, and her heart tightened a little: "Is Brother Che's piano finally ready?" ”

"Yes."

The little guy respectfully responded.

Wei Susu saw the appearance of the little girl, and knew that this piano was not meant to be given to himself. Was it for Wei Qingqing?

"Can I take a look at this piano, I saw Brother Che do it for a long time." Wei Susu smiled on her lips, and a slight flush appeared on her fair face, which was as beautiful as the jade grease carefully protected on the flannel: "Don't worry, I'm just looking, it won't be broken, and it won't delay you from sending it to Miss Wei." ”

When the little girl saw her say this, she remembered that the second master was very tolerant and pampered by Miss Susu, and in the end she let Qin hug Wei Susu.

The cloth wrapped in the piano was opened, and the smell of wood came.

The end of the piano is engraved with a poem, 'The wind rolls the grape belt, the sun shines on the pomegranate skirt'. It seems to be a very simple inscription, but Wei Susu's legs instantly became a little weak, and the person fell back a few points before he could barely stand firm.

She looked at the little girl and asked, "Is it really for the third lady of the Wei family in Yuqian Lane?" ”

The little girl nodded, and Bixue on the side saw that Wei Susu's face turned pale, and she laughed instantly, thinking that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly asked her worriedly: "Miss, do you want to rest for a while?" ”

"It's fine." Wei Susu looked at the qin, didn't start, only sent the little maid out, and then found a pavilion where no one was there and sat down.

"I thought Brother Che was really in love with this Miss Wei, but I didn't expect that she was just a substitute for Sister A." Wei Susu thought about Fang Cai's poem, and the corners of his eyes were full of smiles. But what she didn't expect was that the second master still can't forget Sister A.

Bi Xue didn't understand: "Why is the slave and maid watching, the second master is tempted by Miss Wei?" ”

"Do you know what those two lines of poetry mean?" After Wei Susu asked, she saw Bixue shaking her head, and then said: "Those two sentences are from "Nanyuan Beauty" by a poet in the previous dynasty. Allure has seen it now, and it has been heard in the past. The eyes are shy, and the lips are laughing. The wind rolls the grape belt, and the sunshine pomegranate skirt. There is a madman in it, and he is empty. is said that after he saw a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city, he found that this beauty already belonged to him, and he couldn't get the melancholy heart. ”

Bi Xue let out a long sigh, and when she understood, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "In this way, this piano was not originally intended to be given to this Miss Wei, but the former eldest lady......"

"Hmm."

Wei Susu didn't want to hear the name 'eldest lady', she was obviously also the concubine of the Grand Commander's Mansion, and her mother was the mother-in-law, but the eldest daughter of the Grand Commander's Mansion was not her, and all the glory was naturally not hers.

That's all, but even if she ruined her appearance, she married a woman, and she was unwilling to be in her own back house, so that Brother Che was fascinated by her!

"Miss, you see, it's the Wei family's miss."

Bixue suddenly pointed to the location of the lake in front of her.

Wei Susu looked up. I really saw Wei Qingqing, who had just come out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Wei Qingqing today, was wearing a piece of Baohualuo brocade that she only got as a handkerchief, and she didn't look carefully at the hairpin on her hair bun before, but now she looks at it again, isn't the fine carving and style also the Zhu Hai that Brother Che once bought from elsewhere with a lot of money?

I didn't expect Brother Che to be so good to this stand-in.

If so, she is also willing to be this stand-in, as long as she can accompany Brother Che, how could Brother Che give up on himself and fall in love with a woman who only has the same name as Sister A?

"Do you remember what happened to you in the morning?" Wei Susu poured a cup of tea, lowered his eyes and slowly took a sip, and asked Bixue.

"The slave remembers it clearly." Bi Xue rubbed her hands, stared at Wei Qingqing from afar, and snorted coldly: "The slave maid is most tired of the sparrow flying on the branch and thinks she is a phoenix, just a small household in the countryside, and now she looks like a big lady, is she worthy!" ”

"Remember, let's do it, don't go wrong again." Wei Susu looked at her face reflected in the tea in the cup, fragrant, delicate like a flower in May, the nobles in Beijing flocked to her, Brother Che also praised her, she didn't believe that her appearance would be worse than Wei Qingqing's.

This compartment. Wei Qingqing was very satisfied when she heard the words that had been circulating in the crowd about Fang Cai's rockery, and she was about to go to find Zhu Zhu, but after walking a few steps, a handful of water splashed on her.

"The ugly monster of the Wei family, where are you going?"

The joking voice came, Wei Qingqing turned his head, and saw Qin Liangye, who was standing in front of the boat in a red brocade robe.

This lake is where the young ladies of the son look at each other across the shore, the young ladies who were rowing in the lake before are gone, and in the Nuoda Lake covered with lotus leaves, there is only one Qin Liangye and the little guy who supports him at this moment.

The young ladies all looked at the prince who had not yet married a concubine at the marriageable age on the shore, either shyly or boldly, and when they saw him scolding Wei Qingqing for being ugly, the young ladies covered their lips and laughed.

Wei Qingqing looked at Qin Liangye, who looked like he was about to get along with him, saluted, and replied to him: "The ugly eight monsters naturally want to go to the place where the ugly eight monsters should be, and the courtiers will not be here to dirty the eyes of the six princes." With that, Wei Qingqing turned around and left.

"Hey, did His Highness let you go, you stop me!"

Qin Liangye saw that she was not angry at all, but he became more and more angry, a little girl who was obviously a few years younger than himself actually pretended to be mature and stable in front of him, and he wanted to make her angry!

As he spoke, Qin Liangye jumped onto the shore in one step, but Wei Qingqing, who he thought was going straight forward and would not look back at all, suddenly picked up his skirt and turned his head and ran towards him.

Qin Liangye was defenseless, and subconsciously took a step back. But this step directly stepped into the air, and it was planted in the lake with a pop.

"Ugly bastard, you're so bold!"

Qin Liangye hurriedly jumped from the water to the small boat that rowed to his side, seeing that he was wet and sticking to his body, he was extremely embarrassed, and glared at Wei Qingqing angrily, but caught the cunning that flashed in her eyes.

Qin Liangye's eyes were suffocated, but he saw that Wei Qingqing still saluted him with a non-salty and indifferent look: "The courtiers just heard the mistake, and thought that His Highness had called the courtiers back, but I didn't expect to scare His Highness, and asked His Highness for forgiveness." ”

What do you mean to be scared? Is he Qin Liangye a cowardly mouse?

Qin Liangye squinted his eyes and stared at her, and was about to speak, when he saw Rong Che's little servant coming over with the piano in his arms.

"Your Highness, you better go to the eldest princess to change your clothes." The servant who supported the boat reminded Qin Liangye to look at him coldly, he naturally did not forget the purpose of his coming to the banquet today, when Rong Hai sent a message to him last night, he planned to come over, if it wasn't for the unreasonable delay of the prince.

But this one is ugly. Do you like it very much......

Qin Liangye looked at Wei Qingqing, and the pink peach blossoms in her eyebrows made her eyes more and more charming, hooking people's hearts, but she was also an extremely cold character.

Thinking of the cunning that flashed in her eyes when she fell into the water just now, if it weren't for that unexpected emotion, Qin Liangye would have felt that Wei Qingqing was just a walking corpse with empty skin, and when she played tricks on herself, she looked like a living person.

"Let's go."

After Qin Liangye finished speaking, he went ashore to leave, but he unexpectedly saw the blue snow that looked sneakily here.

"Your Highness......" The people on the side were already urging, Qin Liangye followed Bixue's gaze and fell on Wei Qingqing, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he threw a look at the group of young ladies on the shore with burning eyes, and saw that they were red and red one by one, and then walked forward.

Wei Qingqing received Rong Che's qin, and when she saw the words on the qin, her eyebrows raised slightly, she didn't take it to heart, and said thank you, and let people take the qin to Wei's mansion.

Seeing that she really couldn't see the goodness of this piano, the little girl sighed in her heart, it was better to Miss Susu, Miss Susu could see that this piano was amazing at a glance, but it was this Miss Wei, who really came from a small place, had never seen the world, and only regarded pearls as fish eyes.

Wei Qingqing was keenly aware of his thoughts. A little helpless, his face was not obvious, only smiled lightly: "Although this piano is a new piano, it is a hundred-year-old sycamore wood, which is extremely precious, and the people in my house are from a small place, and I have never seen such a good piano, and I bother you to say to the people in my house, this piano should be placed in the west wing room where the ventilation and sunlight are just right." Don't get wet or sun. ”

Seeing that she seemed to see through her own thoughts, and she could tell the quality of this piano at a glance, she hurriedly bowed down, and did not dare to be a little slack.

Wei Qingqing smiled and left, and the little girl also wiped the sweat on her forehead, looked at her back, and shouted to the little girl next to her: "It seems that this young lady will be sloppy in the future." ”

"Qingqing!"

After walking for a while, Zhu Zhu's voice came. Lan Zhi followed her, but the faces of several people were not very good-looking.

"Did something happen?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"No ......" Zhu Zhu subconsciously wanted to cover up, and lowered his head to hold his handkerchief, and tears fell out.

Lan Zhi just said the reason, it turned out that after Wei Qingqing left, she and Zhu Zhu obediently drank tea in the unmanned pavilion, who knew that Xu Chang actually found it, and said a lot of ugly words, if it wasn't for Lan Zhi to stop it, the people from the Guogong Mansion would have reacted quickly, and Xu Chang didn't know what to do.

It was also at this time that Zhu Zhu secretly said that Mrs. Xu had always wanted to marry Xu Chang, although Mrs. Zhu had not let go, but Mrs. Xu was the daughter of the Zhu family who married out, and the old lady also felt sorry for Xu Chang's grandson, and was very willing to Zhu Zhu, a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter, to go to Xu Chang's side to help.

Wei Qingqing only then reacted, why did Zhu Zhu speak for Wei Xun last time, Xu Chang's face would be so ugly, he was afraid that he would have regarded Zhu Zhu as his future daughter-in-law, not his cousin.

"Miss Zhu, the marriage of the children ......"

"I know, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Zhu Zhu said in disappointment, but heard Wei Qingqing smile lightly: "The marriage of children is not only the order of the parents, but the words of the matchmaker. ”

Zhu Zhu wiped her tears and looked at Wei Qingqing in confusion: "Can you still make your own decisions?" ”

Wei Qingqing smiled: "If you make your own decisions, then you will teach and accept it privately." ”

"That ......"

"As long as the marriage is not decided, as long as there are enough excellent people to come to the door to propose, is it possible that the parents still don't know whether it will be good or not?" Wei Qingqing smiled, to put it bluntly, the officials in Beijing, the first element of children's marriage is not the happiness of children, but interests. She had seen too many cases of marrying her daughter to a man who was half-buried in the loess or who was misguising herself, or to a wife of bad character but from a prominent family. There are fifty pieces, if not a hundred.

Zhu Zhu had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, the current Wei family could not compare with the Xu family, who were second-class members.

Her face darkened again, Wei Qingqing saw that she had not yet opened her mind, and mentioned the autumn test in the second half of the year and the spring in the first half of next year.

Besides, Zhu Zhu's father was the top three back then, if he recruited a son-in-law who was also the top three, wouldn't it be a beautiful talk?

Wei Qingqing's words, Zhu Zhu was moved again, and nodded with a heavy emphasis on the handkerchief, she believed in Wei Gongzi!

Wei Qingqing saw that she looked enlightened, and sighed again in her heart. Although Xu Chang is not a good match, the eldest brother is definitely not a person who will be trapped by the love of men and women.

"Miss Wei, Miss Zhu, where are you here, the Duchess asked the slave maid to come over and invite the two of you to the garden, and the flower viewing banquet is about to start now."

A tall, gentle-looking girl walked over with a smile and saluted the two.

Wei Qingqing looked at her neat appearance, and also knew that she must be the personal person of the Duchess of the Kingdom, although the real flower viewing banquet will still separate men and women, but it is just a screen placed before and after, if there are people around the Duchess of the Kingdom to follow, it is a lot more reassuring.

Wei Qingqing nodded, and went with Zhu Zhu to go forward.

When she went, Yahuan also took the initiative to talk about the second room of the mansion, and talked about the nobles who came to the mansion today, including Mrs. Zhang from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Unless she tears her face, the Duchess will not miss any of the powerful people in Beijing.

Wei Qingqing listened quietly until her wrist was caught.

Wei Qingqing turned around and saw Mrs. Zhang pretending to smile.

Mama Qin followed to the side, stepped forward and naturally squeezed Zhu away, and Mrs. Zhang clamped Wei Qingqing's wrist hard, and smiled stiffly: "Miss Wei, I'm a little unstable, can you help my wife?" ”

"Of course."

Wei Qingqing wanted to withdraw her hand, but Mrs. Zhang grabbed it very tightly, and pulled her to another road with fewer people, Zhu Zhu and the others wanted to follow, but they were blocked by Mama Qin left and right, and in the blink of an eye, the backs of Mrs. Zhang and Wei Qingqing disappeared.

In the dark, Bi Xue saw that Old Madam Zhang had successfully taken Wei Qingqing away, so she sneered and quickly followed.

Even if Wei Qingqing is protected by the Duchess of the State everywhere, in this Guogong Mansion, she and the young lady have come much more times than her, and the people in this mansion have more respect for the young lady than for her, and it is too simple to deal with a Wei Qingqing!

However, not long after Bixue left, Qin Liangye, who had changed his clothes, also appeared with Rong Hai.

The little guy beside Qin Liangye whispered a few words in his ear, and Qin Liangye said to Rong Hai: "Brother-in-law, I'll go over there for a walk." ”

"There are a lot of women here." Rong Hai reminded.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm not one of those prodigal sons." Before Qin Liangye finished speaking, the person had already turned around and left.

Rong Hai didn't hinder him too much, this younger brother can be regarded as having grown up, his temperament, he knows it very well, it seems to be frivolous and profligate, but he has his own ideas.

Rong Hai looked forward, didn't see Rong Che, and asked the people around him, "Where is the second master?" ”

"The second master is still talking to the eldest prince of the Wei family." The little guy also scratched his head in confusion.

"Then maybe there's something important to do." Rong Hai glanced in the direction where Qin Liangye went, and then told the little servant: "Mother asked after a while, you only said that the second master was talking to friends in the front yard, and the sixth prince only said that he went to the eldest princess." ”

"Then Miss Wei'......"

"We have our own heroes to save the beauty, you and I don't have to interfere." After Rong Hai finished smiling, he met the suspicious gaze of the second room of the Guogong Mansion, and naturally walked over.
