Fang Yuanyuan was stunned, she looked back at Guo Congwen, to be honest, she and Guo Congwen hadn't talked a few words since they were young, she really didn't understand, what did this guy suddenly come to the house to look for her?

Moreover, seeing that his expression was so serious and serious, what should she do if she suddenly panicked?

……

This way.

A few girls drank all the new tea in the courtyard of Fang Yuanyuan, but no one came back.

Mu Zhixin faintly smelled a hint of gossip and asked Fang Yanyan: "The second cousin of your family, but the second son born to Princess Zhenbei?" ”

Fang Yanyan nodded: "Yes, except for the Zhenbei Wang family, we don't have any other cousins." ”

Mrs. Fang's maiden family has been a scholar for generations and looks down on the family of military generals, so in her early years, in order to marry General Fang, she had already cut off contact with her mother's family, and Fang Yanyan had not seen her cousin since she was born.

"You said that your cousin had something to say to your eldest sister, and he actually talked about it for so long." Mu Zhixin touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"I don't know, we don't know those two cousins well." Fang Yanyan was also very puzzled in his heart, since she was born, she hadn't said a few words to those two cousins.

The king of Zhenbei was stationed at the border all the year round, and the family rarely returned to the capital, so although the Fang family and the Guo family were in-laws, they did not have close contacts.

Later, the soldiers under the command of the king of Zhenbei became stronger and stronger, and when the prince became an adult, the emperor sent the king of Zhenxi back to the capital, leaving the prince alone to guard the border pass.

Even if the king of Zhenbei was left in the capital, it was a matter of the past two years, and he was always sent out by the emperor to do some trivial things, and rarely stayed in the capital for a long time.

Therefore, it is really unfamiliar to say.

"What are you looking at me like that? We really don't know each other. Fang Yanyan was furious at Mu Zhixin's eyes, and said with a stiff neck, "From childhood to adulthood, the number of fingers is not more than ten sentences, and their family used to be in the north, you know." ”

Moreover, even if Guo Congwen studied in the capital in the past two years, there was nothing for the literati and the military generals to talk about, so except for some necessary occasions such as festivals or banquets, the intersection between their cousins was very rare.

The ghost knew that he suddenly ran over to find Fang Yuanyuan by name, what he wanted to do.

When everyone saw that she was serious, they immediately believed her.

Qin Niang lowered her eyes and drank tea, she had no intention of participating in the discussion, but she had a faint guess in her heart when Princess Zhenbei came to the door every now and then to persuade General Fang to quickly find a home for Fang Yuanyuan.

Just when a few people stretched their necks and looked at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, Fang Yuanyuan finally came back.

Seeing this, Fang Yanyan hurriedly greeted him and asked curiously, "Big sister, what is the second cousin looking for you?" ”

Fang Yuanyuan was stunned by her question, and then the situation in the front hall just now came to mind, and her face couldn't help blushing, she turned her face away, and said in a serious nonsense: "He is...... I heard that I had brought some good tea back, and I was afraid that I would eat alone, so I came to ask for it. ”

After speaking, she bypassed Fang Yanyan and sat down beside Qin Niang.

Qin Niang raised half of her eyebrows, looked at her with interest, and looked at her demeanor, nine times out of ten, she guessed it.

Fang Yuanyuan was embarrassed by her, and quickly changed the topic: "How is your tea?" Let's talk about it, what kind of tea is it and how to make it? ”

Everyone was diverted by her, and then they gathered around again, discussing the tea they had just tasted, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.

When the party dispersed, everyone happily took the newly obtained tea and got into their carriage, and Qin Niang excused herself to stay until the end.

"Did I say yes?" Qin Niang saw that there was no one around, so she asked.

She found that since she met Fang Yuanyuan, she had also become gossipy.

"What did you say?" Fang Yuanyuan was teased by her, and began to clean up the tea leaves on the table, and involuntarily recalled the words Guo Congwen said in his mind.

"Big cousin, in fact, I have always admired you and wanted to marry you, but when I returned to Beijing, you had already been promised to someone else, and now that you have finally gained freedom, can you give me a chance?"

"I know you're going to have a lot of problems if I want to marry, but if you want to, I'll have to take care of all these things."

"I want to marry you, it has nothing to do with the interests of the family, I am the second son in the family, I don't need to inherit the family business in the future, I can choose the life I want, take the path I want to take, my father has no objection, as long as you nod today, I will come to the door to propose marriage one day."

……

Those words, like thunder, exploded in her ears, shaking her entire chest.

She has grown so big, and it is the first time that she has been confessed so bluntly, if she is not half moved, it must be fake.

But she didn't understand.

They didn't know each other well, and they talked so many times that she didn't even know when he had the idea of marrying her. All right

Fang Yuanyuan almost ran away and returned to his courtyard at that time.

At this time, when Qin Niang asked, her mind automatically sounded the words of Guo Congwen in the hall just now, and her heart was confused for a while.

"I also said that I was talking nonsense, look at your current appearance, your face is rippling, if Guo Ergongzi has no intention of you, I will invite myself to go back to the Yang family tomorrow." Qin Niang said firmly.

Fang Yuanyuan opened her mouth, struggling in her heart for a long time, and finally decided to confess to her, she told Guo Congwen's words one by one.

"Sister Qin, I really don't know when he fell in love with me? I don't even know what he's looking at me. You say, now that I am a person who has been divorced, and I am not a beautiful girl in the boudoir, if he is interested in me, why didn't he say it earlier, and he didn't say it until I got married. ”

Fang Yuanyuan was really entangled in his heart.

From the bottom of her heart, she feels that she is not worthy of the other party now, but when it comes to the other party, if she says that she is half unmoved, it is also false.

"If you look at it, you will see it, why is there anything?" Qin Niang is very open to this point, "Besides, he is right, he is not going to inherit the family business in the future, you don't need to care so much, as long as you are willing, don't feel unworthy of the other party." ”

A man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman has to start from the beginning, why?

Qin Niang has always felt that there are many unreasonable things about these secular rules.

"In the face of feelings, both men and women are equal, men can marry more than one woman, why can we women only marry one man in this life? Ah Yuan, if you are moved, you don't have to care if your aunt will object, Guo Ergongzi has said it, and the king of Zhenbei does not object. ”

Qin Niang looked at the slanting sun on the horizon, the corners of her lips hooked a shallow arc, and then looked at Fang Yuanyuan seriously, in this country, although there are many things that are unfair to women, they are not reasonable.

Sometimes, however, it is not without benefits.

Just like this matter, as long as the king of Zhenbei does not object, then even if the princess of Zhenbei is unhappy, she will not be able to make tricks, first, the princess of Zhenbei is from the Fang family, and she can't do too many things, and second, the princess of Zhenbei can't let the king of Zhenbei leave a bad impression.

Princess Zhen is a smart person, as long as Guo Congwen insists, she must be opposed, and it is not good to talk too much.

"I'll go back, think about it yourself." Qin Niang stood up, patted Fang Yuanyuan's shoulder, and walked towards the door.

Fang Yuanyuan watched Qin Niang's carriage disappear at the end of the street, still thinking about what she had just said in his mind, and the whole person was still confused.

When Qin Niang returned to Gu's house, the housekeeper came over and told her that Gu Chen had gone to the Min Duwei Mansion, so that she didn't have to wait for him to come back for dinner.

"Have you gone to the Min Du Governor's Mansion?" Qin Niang glanced at Steward Liu strangely, and then said, "Did he say what he was doing in the Duwei Mansion?" ”

Steward Liu said: "I heard that Du Wei Min accepted a concubine today, and invited those brothers who are good on weekdays to drink two cups." ”

Qin Niang instantly remembered that Gao Lan again, and always felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't say anything wrong for a while, so she waved her hand to let Steward Liu retreat.

Steward Liu left, and Qin Niang returned to Qinyuan.

"Miss, do you want to call someone to pass the meal?" Qiu Tao asked, "I drank a stomach full of tea in Fangfu, I should be hungry now." ”

Qin Niang nodded, and Qiu Tao immediately went to call someone to pass the meal.

"Miss, just now in the Fang Mansion, the fourth princess just said that she bumped into Miss Gao and Min Duwei, why did my uncle go to Duwei Mansion immediately? Moreover, I haven't heard that Captain Min sent a post banquet today. Qiuxue asked, this is too coincidental, right?

"Xu is that he invited some colleagues on weekdays, and did not have a big banquet." After all, it's just a concubine, and it's not a Ming media marriage.

However, on weekdays, when others take a concubine, they will accept it, and this Min Duwei still wants to invite a group of brothers to drink, which shows that he really likes Gao Lan.

If he had changed before, Gao Lan would probably not look down on him.

It's just that this time is different from the past, with Gao Lan's current identity, she is promoting her even if she is a concubine.

"Don't worry about him, after the food comes up, you can also hurry down and eat, you don't have to guard me." Qin Niang spent most of the day in Fang Mansion today, making several pots of tea, and she was also a little tired.

"Yes." Qiu Xue answered.

The sky gradually darkened, and after Qin Niang finished bathing, she glanced at the sky, opened the curtain and asked, "Hasn't Gu Chen come back yet?" ”

The night watchman outside said respectfully: "Back to the young lady, the young master has not come back yet." ”

Qin Niang tightened her brows, she always felt that something would happen today, in the past, even if Gu Chen went to a colleague's house to drink and talk about things, he would not come back so late, unless he was left in the palace by the emperor.

But Steward Liu clearly said that he had already left the palace, so he drank too much in the Duwei Mansion?

"Go and ask Steward Liu, if you want to send a car to the Governor's Mansion to pick people up." Qin Niang thought about it and decided to be a wife who urged the man to go home, and asked the housekeeper to go to the Duwei's Mansion to have a look.

"Yes." The woman answered and ran out.

After a while, she came back again: "Young lady, Steward Liu said that he has already sent someone to pick him up, and besides, the young master has a secret guard with him, so nothing should happen." ”
