Chapter 61: A Way to Live

After Bi Xue was sure that Mrs. Zhang had taken Wei Qingqing to the place she wanted to take, she sneered: "The village aunt should have the consciousness of the village aunt, and she deserves this fate if she fights with my young lady......

"What is Miss Bixue saying that she deserves?" A smiling voice came from behind her, and when Bi Xue turned around, she saw the maid sent by the Duchess who was still following Wei Qingqing.

Bi Xue often comes to the Guogong Mansion, so she naturally recognizes who she is, so she quickly restrained the disdain on her face, and said with a sneer: "It's nothing, it's nothing, why did the pothos girl come here?" ”

Lu Pothos smiled: "It was the Duchess of Guo who asked me to invite the girl, if the girl doesn't mind, this will come with me?" ”

Bi Xue opened her mouth in surprise, the green pothos was still following Wei Qingqing, seeing that Wei Qingqing was taken away by Mrs. Zhang, not only did she not say a word, but she suddenly found herself hiding here, and she wanted to take herself to see the Duchess of Guo?

No matter how stupid Bixue was, she also reacted, and she was afraid that all this she did would have fallen into the eyes of the Duchess of the Kingdom long ago.

"Miss is still waiting for me to go back......" Bixue made an excuse to leave, but her arm was grabbed by the pothos.

Luluo looked gentle and gentle, but the strength in her hands was not small, no matter how Bixue struggled, Luluo still looked decent, grabbed her, and went to the direction of the Duchess with a smile.

And at this time, Wei Qingqing's reaction when she realized that she was taken away by Mrs. Zhang. knew that there would be no danger on this trip, so he simply relaxed and left with Mrs. Zhang.

"Go any further, and you will arrive at the place where the men of the Guogong Mansion live, where is the old lady going?" Wei Qingqing asked as she walked.

"It seems that Miss Wei already knows the Guogong Mansion very well."

Old Madam Zhang was distressed at the thought of shipping out Wei Qingqing's pile of dowry tonight, but the former Wei Qingqing was dead, and she was now full of anger. can only be sprinkled on this Wei Qingqing in front of him.

Wei Qingqing disagreed: "I'm going to marry in soon, and I should know more." ”

"Miss Wei, are you so sure you can marry in?" Old Madam Zhang sneered, straightened her back strongly, raised her sharp chin high, and looked high: "Even if you marry in, it's still a question of whether you can survive." Rong Che has married three wives before, can you see that one of them has lived for a year? Miss Wei was only afraid of the luck of flying on the branches, but she did not enjoy the life of glory and wealth. ”

Wei Qingqing saw that she couldn't wait to show her true colors, and knew that her destination must be near here.

Could it be that he arranged for a man to hide around here and destroy her innocence?

Wei Qingqing thought, now neither Rong Ruizhang nor Mrs. Zhang should have arranged such a means in the Guogong Mansion, so what is hidden here?

Wei Qingqing looked at the arrogant old lady Zhang, and suddenly remembered that she entered the palace a while ago. There is a decree in the body, and you can indeed enter the palace every month to ask the queen mother for peace, but the queen mother does not see all of them, but the queen mother likes one of her nieces of the same clan very much, the current princess of Ruyang, Mrs. Zhang used to be very jealous of this princess of Ruyang, and the last time she entered the palace, maybe. It was Princess Ruyang who pulled the strings.

Today's banquet, since the county lord of Chiyang is here, then Princess Ruyang should also be there, but the flower viewing banquet has officially begun, and she has not appeared.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingqing roughly understood what Mrs. Zhang was going to do.

"Wealth is in the sky, life and death are fate, Qingqing doesn't dare to hope to change her life against the sky, but it is good to be worthy of your heart." Wei Qingqing's tone was still respectful, and she didn't look half irritated.

Mama Qin glanced at Old Madam Zhang's darkened face, and hurriedly smiled: "What Miss Wei said is that Second Master Rong likes you so much, and he will definitely take good care of you." ”

Wei Qingqing looked at Mama Qin, who was used to reversing black and white, and looked surprised: "What are you talking about?" The second master and I are innocent, and the Duchess is also a strict tutor, otherwise how can I be allowed to get started? ”

Mama Qin was so stammered by Wei Qingqing's straightforward piercing, her smile faded a little, and she said sarcastically: "What Miss Wei said is that the slave is talking fast, and she also pities my family's father, and I still think about Miss Wei who doesn't want to eat and loses a lot of weight." ”

"Isn't Xiangye sad for the deceased Prime Minister's wife? Why don't you think about this for my tea? Wei Qingqing sneered in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she looked at Mama Qin and said: "Besides, the beautiful concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a cloud, and Mama suddenly said this about me, it seems that I often go to Xiangye to hang around and do inappropriate things." ”

Mama Qin was really speechless by Wei Qingqing's soft nail, and the emotions on her face were a little tense: "Miss Wei is really sharp-toothed. ”

"Mama has an overreputation, I have no mother since I was a child, and the mother-in-law in the house is tricky, if I don't even know how to defend myself, I will be eaten a long time ago." Wei Qingqing smiled at her, so angry that Mama Qin almost fell backwards.

"I'm tired. Since Miss Wei is kind enough to help me to rest here, why don't you go ahead and find a few people to pour some tea?" Old Madam Zhang took Mama Qin's hand and sat down directly at the stone table not far away.

Wei Qingqing saw that she was going out of her way to provoke herself, and she became more and more sure that the princess of Ruyang must be watching here somewhere.

Do you want Princess Ruyang to feel that she is rude and rude, and then go to the Queen Mother's ear to blow the wind?

Although the county lord of Chiyang is a rude and unreasonable, this princess of Ruyang is well-known and reasonable, otherwise it would not be possible to get into the eyes of the queen mother.

"Old lady, wait a minute, the courtier will go back to the Duchess of the country, and ask the Duchess to arrange someone to serve you." Wei Qingqing replied, but after answering, the figure in the shadows wrinkled his brows.

Today is the Guogong Mansion holding a flower viewing banquet, the Duchess is the busiest, this old lady is a relative of the Guogong Mansion, she should have helped, but now she is only on the shelf everywhere, not to mention the age of a teenage girl, but also asked the Duchess to take care of her.

"Let's go, let someone go and tell the old lady, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back." Princess Ruyang said.

"Isn't the princess offending the Prime Minister's Mansion by saying this?" One side of the grandmother reminded. Although the king of Ruyang is the emperor's younger brother, he never makes friends with these magnates in the capital, nor does he offend, and he is at ease to be his own idle prince.

Princess Ruyang was actually a little hesitant, she had repeatedly helped Mrs. Zhang before, one was to respect her chastity archway, and she was a generation higher than herself, but now she tried her best to ask herself to wait here, but she was arrogant and bullied a little girl, which made her really look down on her.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard someone say that the county lord of Chi Yang was almost bullied by Rong Ruizhang in the rockery.

The grandmother beside Princess Ruyang widened her eyes, looked at Princess Ruyang again, and immediately said: "If the slave maid is going back to Mrs. Zhang, the princess will go back to the house first." ”

Princess Ruyang stared at Mrs. Zhang, who was waiting for someone to serve her in the pavilion with her neck raised, and she was so angry that she didn't step forward to question, so she directly took off a bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the grandmother: "After replying, I sent this bracelet to Miss Wei, and said that it was a meeting gift from the concubine, and on the day she got married, the concubine will definitely give her makeup!" ”

"Yes."

Mama swallowed her saliva, it seems that this time, Mrs. Zhang will never want to step into the door of Ruyang Palace.

When Mrs. Zhang learned that Princess Ruyang had left suddenly, she was a little unhappy, and she didn't dare to say anything on her face, so she only asked pretendically: "There are still a few excellent ginseng sticks in my house, and the princess is not in good health, so I will send the ginseng to the princess to make up for her body later." ”

"Then thank you, old lady." Mama still responds with a pleasant face. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang looked like she still had something to say, she only smiled and said, "The princess also asked the slave maid to give Miss Wei a bracelet, so the slave maid didn't disturb the old lady's rest." ”

"Bracelets?" Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and Mama didn't hide that Princess Ruyang was going to add makeup to Wei Qingqing, which was 100% of the gold on Wei Qingqing's face.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask again, but Mama had already left, and it was Gong Chang beside Rong Ruizhang who came over.

After Gong Chang roughly explained the things in the rockery, Mrs. Zhang only felt that her eyes were black and she almost fainted.

And this compartment.

Qin Liangye followed Wei Qingqing's back all the way, but followed, and went around to a bamboo forest covered with a five-element array, not only was there no trace of Wei Qingqing inside, but even if he wanted to go out smoothly, it would take a lot of effort.

And Wei Qingqing was on the way to find the Duchess of the Kingdom, when she saw Rong Che playing chess with someone in the pavilion.

Rong Che changed into a moon-white brocade gown today, and the cuffs of the gown were embroidered with the same dark pattern as the silk thread of the same color as Wei Qingqing's body. The sunlight fell on his chess hand, and the dark lines seemed to move, and Wei Qingqing was speechless for a while.

"Come and make tea."

Rong didn't reply, so he said.

Wei Qingqing looked at it, and there was no one around, if she didn't say this to herself, who else could she say it to?

"The second master's chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite."

The woman sitting across from Rong Che smiled.

The woman looks about the same age as Rong Che, and her appearance is not overwhelming, but she is also gentle and calm. It's the kind of appearance that makes people feel comfortable at first glance, wearing a plain brown dress without any embroidery, and there is no desire in his eyes, even in the face of a beautiful man like Rong Che.

Wei Qingqing had never seen this person, but the person who could sit and play against Rong Che must be unusual.

Wei Qingqing stepped forward, glanced at the water that had been boiled on the side, and began to divide the tea and make tea on one side.

After a while, the woman stopped what she was doing and said to Wei Qingqing: "Miss Wei, this tea is brewed very well, I don't know where I learned from?" ”

"I was fortunate enough to have the guidance of the tea shop in the palace before, and the rest is just my foolishness, and please don't mind the girl." Wei Qingqing smiled and brought tea to her, but Rong Che nodded her forehead directly: "What do you want her girl to do, you have to call Mr." ”

"Sir?" Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che, and the black piece in Rong Che's hand fell again, and he directly won the white chess. Only then did he lean back with the tea made by Wei Qingqing and looked a little tired, looked at the woman in front of him, and smiled: "This is Mr. Yan, if she loses to me today, she will promise to teach your eldest brother a year's knowledge." I've asked your eldest brother, and he doesn't mind a woman being his husband. ”

"Mr. Yan, could it be that ......" Wei Qingqing was very surprised, there is an extremely famous academy in the south, which is run by the real emperor of the emperor who returned to his hometown in the previous dynasty, it is rumored that after the old emperor opened the college, he accepted students regardless of wealth, only based on qualifications, and even some tuition fees were not charged.

And this old emperor has only one daughter under his knees, and his daughter is like him, well-read and very talented, if it were a man, he would have already been crowned a marquis.

The one in front of her is the daughter of the old emperor, the woman who is known as Mr. Yan.

"Yes."

Rong Che directly confirmed her conjecture.

Yan Ruan looked at his chessboard with pity: "If you hadn't let Miss Wei make tea and divide my heart, I wouldn't have lost to you." ”

Rong Che didn't say anything, only recruited someone to come, and ordered: "Starting from Ming'er, Mr. Yan will enter the Wei Mansion to teach, and you will personally follow and serve." The amount of food and clothing is only calculated from the national government. ”

"Yes." The maid hurriedly responded, but Yan Ruan waved her hand: "I don't need to pay from your Guogong Mansion, although Gongzi Wei is not very old, he is an ambitious, since he wants to invite Mr., my food and clothing will naturally be counted on his head." ”

Wei Qingqing listened and couldn't help but admire this Mr. Yan a little. She said this to take care of her eldest brother's self-esteem, and she must have known it. The Wei Mansion was so poor that it clanged.

Just thinking about it, Yan Ruan looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile: "Miss Wei's skills in dividing tea are good, when I teach you that my eldest brother is tired, can I ask you for a cup of tea again?" ”

"Nature." Wei Qingqing smiled at her, only to see that there was a faint layer of mist under her eyes, and her smile seemed to float on the surface, which was a bit like ...... Rong Hai?

The matter was decided, Yan Ruan drank tea and left.

Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che who seemed to have nothing happening, and asked him, "How did the second master invite Mr. Yan?" "Once the Queen Mother once fell in love with Yan Ruan. invited her into the palace several times, most of which also had the emperor's meaning, the emperor was in the prime of life, it was not surprising that he wanted to admit her into the palace, and with her intelligence and talent, it was not difficult to seal the concubine, but the Yan family refused to let her enter the palace.

Why is she willing to come now? For Rong Che?

Rong Che was afraid that she would think too much, so he pointed to the chessboard: "Put away the chess pieces for the master, and the master will tell you." ”

Wei Qingqing: "......" He is diligent in calling people.

Wei Qingqing put away the black and white chess pieces separately, and saw the green pothos that followed him before.

Luluo smiled and saluted the two: "Second master, Madam is already waiting for you to pass." After speaking, he smiled at Wei Qingqing again: "Miss Zhu is also waiting for you." ”

"Hmm."

Rong Che got up and pointed to a certain bamboo forest: "You go and get the people inside, don't ask him to tear down the master's bamboo forest, they are all excellent Xiangfei bamboos." ”

Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che, who was actually taking the opportunity to leave, and stood up suddenly, but Rong Che leisurely withdrew the foot that he stepped out of, and smiled at Wei Qingqing: "She is willing to come, naturally because the people she was waiting for came back." ”

Waiting for people?

Wei Qingqing didn't care about Rong Che's teasing, and suddenly understood that this Mr. Yan, she was really coming for Rong Hai.

Thinking of Uncle Rong, who was always full of bitterness in his eyes, Wei Qingqing frowned, followed the corner of Rong Che's clothes all the way to the flower-viewing place, and when she looked up, she saw Rong Hai, who was accompanying the Duchess but turned around and smiled softly at her.

"Don't put too many people in the eyes of children." Rong Che said coldly in her ear: "It's enough to have a master alone." ”

Wei Qingqing: "......"

"Little sister!"

Wei Hu's voice came, Wei Qingqing turned around, and saw Wei Hu waving at her through the screen, Wei Xun was also there, with a faint smile, but Zhu Zhu, who had just come over, couldn't help blushing, but was glared at by Xu Changyin fiercely.

And Wei Susu is gone.

The next cherry blossom viewing party is cherry blossom viewing. The ladies of all the families became affectionate with Wei Qingqing, and many young ladies came to take the initiative to get to know her, and after lunch, Wei Qingqing patiently said something to the ladies in the afternoon, and then went back with Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu wanted to go to the Wei Mansion again, but was called back by Mrs. Zhu.

As soon as he arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Qingqing saw Mr. Yan, who had already begun to move his luggage to the mansion.

Yan Ruan didn't have many things, a box of cage clothes, a ruan qin, three boxes of books, plus a maid given by Rong Che, there was nothing else.

Wei Qingqing arranged for her to live in the backyard with her, and Yan Ruan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

After cleaning up, Yan Ruan fell asleep, and Wei Qingqing knew that she had just entered the capital.

"Little sister, you said this female gentleman. Can you teach a good big brother? ”

In the courtyard in front of Wei Xun's study, Wei Hu asked while peeling peanuts for Wei Qingqing.

Wei Xun sat on the side with a scroll in his hand, and when he heard the words, his eyes were a little bright: "I have discussed a few words with Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan's knowledge is far above me, and he has unique opinions. ”

"Since Mr. Yan is the only daughter of Emperor Yan, she must have been raised in poetry books since she was a child, and since the eldest brother thinks that there is no problem, it must be no problem." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"I still don't think it's appropriate to be a woman." Wei Hu piled all the peeled peanuts in front of Wei Qingqing, and took the snacks on the side, these were all sent by the Guogong Mansion, everything was delicate and delicious, he twisted a piece in his mouth, and then hurriedly pushed it to Wei Qingqing with a smile.

"The second brother doesn't have to look down on women, there were many talented women in the previous dynasty, even the empress also had them."

Wei Xun took the book and knocked Wei Hu on the head.

Wei Hu was aggrieved: "I don't despise women, our little sister is also first-class smart, anyway, it's much better than me, I'm just worried about my eldest brother." ”

"You have to worry a lot about the first martial arts test that will be held tomorrow." Wei Xun said with a smile.

"Little sister, look at the eldest brother, the elbow always turns out."

Wei Hu complained to Wei Qingqing, Wei Qingqing smiled and ate peanuts and gags, seeing that Wei Hu was 'taught' by Wei Xun and was speechless before it was over.

But tomorrow Wei Hu will be the first martial arts test, and after a break in the afternoon, Wei Hu was pulled by Ge Lao to special training, Wei Xun was also stuck in the study, Wei Qingqing returned to the small courtyard, and Lan Sheng was already waiting with Qiu Ling.

"When Da Ming sent her back, he said that the eldest prince had planned to ask for her deed of sale and sell her far away." Lan Sheng Road.

Qiu Ling knelt on the ground, his eyes were red and swollen, and his hair was a little messy, and when he heard Lan Sheng's words, his whole body trembled.

Wei Qingqing walked up to her, looked at her, and asked, "Do you know that you not only offended me this time, but also offended the prime minister?" ”

Of course, Qiu Ling knew that when Rong Ruizhang actually took the bracelet to find it that night, she knew that Rong Ruizhang had been staring at the Wei Mansion, and later found out that the bracelet was fake...... She didn't mean it, she really didn't dare to go to the big pawnshop after taking the bracelet, she only found a small black shop and made it ten taels of silver, how did she know that the bracelet was fake?

Qiu Ling has been by Fang Zijiao's side for a few years, and naturally heard Fang Zijiao mention the viciousness of Rong Ruizhang, if he is driven out of the Wei Mansion, it will be a dead end.

"The slave and maid know that they are wrong, please give the slave and maid a way to live, and the slave and maid will be cattle and horses, and there will be no complaints." Qiu Ling slammed his head directly on the ground, and with a bang, Lan Sheng frowned when he heard it.

"Alive?" Wei Qingqing stood still in front of her and smiled lightly: "If I let you kill Fang Zijiao, do you also think this is a way to live?" ”
