Chapter 574: Competition
Gu Chen's thin lips opened slightly, and he lightly opened his mouth and arranged a task, which was obviously a very important and important matter, but his tone was as light as a homely matter.
Although General Wei was a little unconvinced, he had also seen Gu Chen's skills, and he couldn't beat him, so even if there were 10,000 dissatisfied, now that the other party was his boss, since he had assigned him a task, he could only carry it out.
This was the first battle of their trip, and success was crucial to their army, so no one dared to neglect or slack off.
When these people were sent out of the handsome account, Lin Yao flashed in again, and as soon as he came in, he said with a smile: "Let those people compensate their sister-in-law well, so that they always feel that only men can fight for a day, hum." ”
If there is no woman like Qin Niang to back them, how can these men fight outside with peace of mind?
"What are you looking for me again?" Gu Chen glanced at him speechlessly, "That's my wife, why do you look angrier than me." ”
Lin Yao choked, then glared at him and raised his voice: "I don't believe their suspicious and contemptuous eyes just now, you don't have half a bit of resentment and unhappiness in your heart." ”
Of course there is displeasure, but he can't show it.
Moreover, he was just unhappy, and he still missed her very much.
Now that the war has not started, he doesn't know when he will be able to return to Beijing to reunite with her, and their little Ying'er, and he doesn't know if he is clamoring for his father.
In fact, Qin Niang and Ying'er are in the capital, and there are really not many kung fu that can think of him.
Because, the competition between Miss Shi San and Miss Rong Liu has officially begun, and the whole capital is very lively, in order to win this game, these two can be said to have taken out more than half of their entire net worth as bargaining chips.
There were also people on the streets who set up gambling games on who would win the game.
"Miss, Miss Shi San is here."
Qin Niang was sitting in the courtyard with Fang Yuanyuan, basking in the sun and drinking the newly obtained spring tea, and suddenly listened to the flower lady in the porter to report.
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, Fang Yuanyuan interjected: "This is really fast, we were still talking about who can win just now, and this Shi San girl is here." ”
However, Qin Niang has never had much contact with these nobles in Beijing, but occasionally there is a mansion to hold a polo club, and she rarely participates.
Because, everyone knows that Qin Niang is not good at riding, even if there is a first-class master like Gu Chen to teach herself, she doesn't know if it is because she has no talent, she is extremely clumsy in sports, and she didn't learn it after half a year, so she gave up.
She never liked wasting time where she wasn't good at it.
"You lead the people to the side hall, and I'll be here in a moment." Qin Niang commanded.
"Yes." The flower woman answered, and went out quickly with Mali's old legs.
Fang Yuanyuan said with interest: "Sister Qin, what do you say she is here for?" ”
The corners of Qin Niang's mouth twitched: "Didn't the queen say it at the spring banquet that day?" Let them come to me if they have difficulties in medicinal materials, and if they want to come to me at this time, it is probably because of this. ”
Otherwise, is it possible to still have a relationship with her at this time?
She has never been good at dealing with these thoughtful nobles in Beijing, otherwise, she can't have no friends in her last life, and most of them die in the small courtyard, and few people will be sad.
In this life, she just made friends with Fang Yuanyuan, and she really didn't know each other very well.
"I think it's possible that she's still here to get close to you, and if it's business, she doesn't have to come herself." Fang Yuanyuan took a sip of tea, and began her divine prophecy again, "Otherwise, let's also make a bet, I bet that this third girl is here, not to win over you or to get news from you." ”
Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, I have to say that Fang Yuanyuan really dared to speculate on anything.
"I'm an inner house woman, what is she good to do with me, if you want to set it, you should set it on weekdays, where can you use it temporarily." Qin Niang tugged at the corners of her lips speechlessly, very skeptical of this guess.
"Where does she have a chance on weekdays? You have to ignore her. Fang Yuanyuan snorted and said, "Isn't it because the queen spoke because she dared to come this time?" Let them come to you to discuss things with them, she can come in a grand manner, and you can't turn her away. ”
I have to say that although Fang Yuanyuan gossiped, sometimes he analyzed things very thoroughly, and after Qin Niang talked to her a few nonsense, she got up and went to the side hall.
The third girl of the Shi family is named Shi Rong, and when Qin Niang was late, she had almost drunk a cup of tea, but she also knew that she had something to ask for, so she could only wait patiently.
Whether the Shi family can go to the next level depends on whether she can succeed this time.
Just when her face was calm and her heart was anxious, Qin Niang finally showed up.
"Miss Shisan, I've been waiting for a long time." After Qin Niang politely said a polite word, she sat down at the top.
Where did Shi Rong dare to say that she was late? As long as she is willing to come, she is already very excited in her heart, after all, if she comes to the door on weekdays, she can't even enter the door.
After seeing the ceremony, Shi Rong didn't talk to her politely, and said straight to the point: "I'm really embarrassed to come and bother rashly, it's just that the medicinal materials needed to compete with Rong Liu this time are indeed only sold in the Gu family pharmacy, so I dare to come and discuss with Mrs. Gu Shao." ”
When Qin Niang heard it, it was really because of the queen's words, it seemed that Fang Yuanyuan's guess was about to come to naught.
"Where is Miss Shi San, the queen has spoken, as long as the medicinal materials you need and can't solve it, you can come to me, and I will naturally not refuse, but don't worry, these medicine bags are also used on the soldiers in front of us in the final analysis, we don't make your money, give you the reserve price."
Qin Niang thought, the queen asked them to come to her, but she didn't say that she wanted her to provide them with materials for free, if the Gu family even gave them the materials, then how could they let them bleed?
"In this way, then thank you to Mrs. Gu Shao." Shi Rong said politely, and at the same time she was relieved, she was afraid that Qin Niang would ask for a price, if that was the case, the Shi family might be hollowed out.
After all, what is needed in front of her is not just these five thousand medicine bags, if she wins, she may have to host the errand of making medicine bags for the front in the future, and it will cost a lot more money at that time.
Although some silver will be drawn from the treasury at that time, she knows in her heart that if she can't spend money, how can she win the position of crown princess?
After a short period of thought, Shi Rong turned the topic to the spring banquet that day: "Young Mrs. Gu, there were so many people at the spring banquet that day, I don't seem to have seen the fourth girl of the Fang family and the second girl of the Mu family, I know that they have always been good friends with Young Lady Gu, why don't they participate in such an occasion?" ”
She asked this question quite directly, and there was also a bit of temptation.
If it was a good thing to show their faces, why didn't the girls of the Mu family and the girls of the Fang family participate? Although Fang Yuanyuan went, everyone could see that she was just going to accompany the prince to study, where was she serious about participating in the competition?
Qin Niang looked at her and asked with a smile: "Miss Shi San, why don't they go?" ”
It seems that Fang Yuanyuan's mouth has really opened up, she can say anything, this person seems to have really come to her to find out the truth under the pretext of official business.
"I just don't know, that's why I asked casually, if Mrs. Gu Shao thinks it's not easy to answer, don't answer." Shi Rong said with retreat.
Qin Niang said in a relaxed tone: "There is nothing bad to answer, the two of them don't want to show their faces, let alone marry into the royal family, not only did they not go to the spring banquet, but they also rarely showed their faces at the Hundred Flowers Festival or Hairpin Banquet in the past, didn't Miss Shi San find out?" ”
When she said this, Shi Rong was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really ......
Not to mention that Mu Zhixin and Fang Yanyan rarely show their faces on such occasions, even Mu Zhinian, who is married to a wife, has never appeared in any arena before, even if she is forced to go, she will not take it easily.
Therefore, everyone in the capital knows that the concubines of the Mu family are extremely low-key, and compared with these people in the Beijing who are mixed in the interpersonal circle, they are like immortals who do not eat fireworks in the world, and they will not easily make friends with people.
Now that Mu Zhinian is married, it seems that the remaining daughters of the Mu family really haven't seen a few show their faces in public.
Don't they want their daughter to find a good family? If they don't come out to meet people and look at each other, who knows what kind of heart they have raised by the Mu family?
"Miss Shisan, what you ask for in your hearts is not what everyone wants, Ah Yan and Ah Nian are not interested in what all the nobles in Beijing want, the Fang family and the Mu family have already arranged their marriage, they don't need to show their talents, they can also find a good family with the right door."
Qin Niang's voice spit out lightly, echoing back and forth in this empty side hall, but it shook Shi Rong's eardrums.
She automatically ignored the irony in Qin Niang's words, and felt that Qin Niang was telling her that the meaning of the queen at the spring banquet before was what they all thought, and that they wanted to use this competition to select the most suitable candidate for the crown princess.
After all, to be the crown princess, she must be able to share the worries of the royal family, help the prince solve all the current difficulties, and the woman who can stand by the prince's side must not only have a good family background, but also have a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and worrying about the monarch.
"Mrs. Gu Shao is extremely right." After figuring this out, Shi Rong reinvigorated, it was better if Mu Zhixin and Fang Yanyan didn't come to compete with them, so as not to have two more opponents in Libai.
After eating the reassuring pill, Miss Shi San casually talked to Qin Niang about the medicinal herbs, and then got up and prepared to leave.
Qin Niang didn't leave her either, let Qiu Tao send people to the door, and then raised her feet and returned to Qin Niang.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard Fang Yuanyuan say, "How is it?" Am I right? ”
