"Then congratulations!" Ye Guan glanced at Qiao Jingduan absently and said hello to him.

Qiao Jingduan snorted and stretched out a hand towards her, his hand was slender and white, not at all like a pair of murderous hands.

Ye Guan pursed his lips, "What do you mean?" ”

"Greetings." Qiao Jingduan was concise and to the point.

Ye Guan laughed, thought about it, took off a jade pendant from his waist, and threw it to him, "Yao, meet the gift." ”

Qiao Jingduan glanced at the cold jade pendant in his palm, and sneered coldly, "You are perfunctory." ”

"Aren't you casual to be a human father?" Ye Guan snorted back.

Qiao Jingduan ignored her, got off the bed, and walked straight out.

Ye Guan looked at his back and asked in a loud voice, "Where are you going?" ”

Qiao Jingduan turned his head and smiled, "Be a father!" ”

Ye Guan touched his nose and stopped talking.

Qiao Jingduan hooked his lower lip again and left without looking back.

In the east courtyard, the eldest lady was coaxing the baby in her arms to play, when she suddenly heard footsteps, and when she looked up, she saw Qiao Jingduan open the curtain and walked in from the outside.

"Why are you here?" She paused, handed the baby to her aunt, and asked with a smile.

Qiao Jingduan smiled, didn't speak, walked straight towards the eldest lady, hugged the little baby from Aunt Mei Ruo's arms, checked it, and asked, "Have you chosen a name?" ”

The eldest lady looked at Qiao Jingduan suspiciously, "Not yet." ”

"Then call it Qiao Mu," Qiao Jing said.

The eldest lady looked at him, and a bad premonition floated in her heart, "Jing Duan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qiao Jingduan held the child, and finally had time to glance at the eldest lady, "I don't mean anything else, but in the future, I will be the father of this child." ”

"You...... Are you serious? The eldest lady was shocked.

Qiao Jingduan nodded, "The names have been chosen, can there be fakes?" ”

"You're crazy!" Listening to Qiao Jingduan's serious words, the eldest lady finally couldn't help it, her face changed, and she said in a gaffe, "It's just a child picked up from the animal nest, what kind of father do you give him, if you really recognize him, who knows how you will be spread outside in the future, and which famous and noble lady will consider you when she proposes marriage?!" ”

"None of this is important," Qiao Jingduan glanced at the eldest lady and said calmly.

"It's not important, it's not important, it's not important to have a marriage, so what's important in your heart?" The eldest lady was angry, and her eyes widened.

It's just that Qiao Jingduan has always been a person with ideas, and since he has already made a decision, he will not change it because of anyone. No matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Ren was, at the moment, Qiao Jingduan only glanced at her lightly, "Today, it should be Mu'er's birthday, and in a month, I will hold a banquet and personally reveal his identity to the public." ”

"You, you ......" The eldest lady saw that he didn't listen to her at all, and was almost so angry that she turned her back on her.

"Please also ask your mother to take care of herself, I will take Mu'er back first." After Qiao Jingyi finished speaking, he hugged Mu and walked out.

The eldest lady looked at his resolute and cold back, hammered down the pillow beside her hard, and said to Aunt Mei Ruo, "What kind of sin did I create in my last life, but I was taught to give birth to such a debt collector!" Ever since I was a child, I have not listened to me once! ”

Aunt Mei Ruo looked at her master's angry appearance, silently walked behind her, gently pinched her shoulder, and said, "Madame, don't be angry, although the eldest prince is sometimes stubborn, but he has never let you worry about him for so many years, don't you know, eight out of ten ladies in Shangjing are envious of your godson." ”

The eldest lady was originally very angry, but when she heard Aunt Mei Ruo say this, her face suddenly softened, she picked up the fan next to her and shook it gently, nodded and said, "This is also true, Jing Duan has always been the most worry-free." ”

Aunt Mei Ruo responded gently.

Then, the topic changed and he talked to the eldest lady about something else.

On the other side, Qiao Jingduan took Mu Er back to Jingduan Courtyard, and while he asked people to prepare all the things for the baby, he took out the jade pendant given to him by Ye Guan from his arms and gently tied it around Mu Er's neck.

"From now on, I will be your father." Qiao Jingduan tied up the jade pendant, looked at Mu Er's dark eyes and said, "One day is a father and a father is a father for life, you remember it, no matter what happens in the future, you can only recognize me as a father!" ”

Mu Er blinked, raised his hand, and spat out a saliva bubble at Qiao Jingduan.

Qiao Jingduan looked at the big bubble, and there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.

Fortunately, the next day, the nurse invited by the house arrived, there were eight in total, Qiao Jingduan sat in the hall with Mu'er in his arms and chose it, and in the end only two were left, both of them were clean and honest, the younger one was called Wen Niang, and the older one was called He Niangzi.

After the two were left behind, they knelt in front of Qiao Jingduan and reported to their home, and promised that they would serve the little master well in the future.

Qiao Jingduan's face was alienated and cold, and he only briefly said a few words to the two of them about the rules of Jingduanyuan, then handed Mu Er to He Niangzi, and at the same time instructed his subordinate Qiu Ci next to him, "In the future, you will follow Mu Er and guard every inch." ”

"Yes, sir!" Qiu Ci gave up his hand and stood by the side of the lady.

In the arms of the lady, Mu'er is also well-behaved, and there is no sign of fear at all.

Qiao Jingduan looked at it and was a little more satisfied with this cheap son.

"Take Mu'er down," After a while, seeing that Mu'er was really not afraid of life, Qiao Jingduan waved his hand and motioned for Qiu Ci to take Niangzi and Wenniang down.

Qiu Ci answered, and walked out with the two of them.

As soon as the three of them walked on their front feet, there was a sound of a wheelchair rolling outside, and then, Ye Guan controlled the wheelchair and walked in from the outside.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Jingduan looked at her and asked with some surprise.

Ye Guan raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Not welcome? As he spoke, he looked like he was leaving.

Qiao Jingduan walked up to her, pressed her hand controlling the wheelchair, and explained, "That's not what I meant. ”

"Oh," Ye Guan replied lightly.

Qiao Jingduan was silent for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "You haven't been to Shangjing before, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

“…… It's good. Ye Guan didn't know what to think of, and nodded kindly.

"I'll let someone arrange it." Qiao Jingduan said, glancing at his subordinate Qiu Feng.

The autumn wind understood and turned to leave.

Qiao Jingduan pushed Ye Guan's wheelchair and walked out.

When the two arrived at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Qiu Feng happened to come over and bowed, "My lord, the carriage has been set." ”

"What," Qiao Jingduan nodded lightly, and the next moment, he bent down slightly, lifted Ye Guan and the wheelchair together, and walked towards the carriage.

Qiu Feng stood at the door, watching this scene, and the whole person was stunned.

He thought that his adult was going to hug Miss Ye, but he didn't expect that he was holding a wheelchair!

"Where do you want to go?" After getting into the car, Qiao Jingduan sat beside Ye Guan and asked in a low voice.

Ye Guan glanced at him sideways, "You also said, I haven't been to Shangjing, you call the shots, it's better to be quiet." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Jingduan nodded, and then, instructed the autumn breeze outside, "Go to Jinshui Bridge." ”

"Yes, sir!" Qiu Feng agreed outside, and the next moment, he raised his horsewhip and rushed to Jinshui Bridge.

In the carriage, Qiao Jingduan looked at the Ye Pavilion and explained, "This season, the ten-mile lotus pond of Jinshui Bridge has a unique artistic conception, and it is very good to go there to relax." ”

"Hmm," Ye Guan nodded.

Immediately, after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked again, "Are there many powerful people around my cousin?" ”

Qiao Jingduan could see her thoughts at a glance, "You want people?" ”

Ye Guan nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then I'll go back and pick a few for you."

"Thank you, cousin."

"Cousin is polite." Qiao Jingduan smiled, "This favor is owed first." ”

Ye Guan glanced at him and didn't speak again.

The carriage ran unhurriedly and came to a halt after an hour.

"My lord, Miss Ye, Jinshui Bridge has arrived." The autumn breeze is reporting outside.

Qiao Jingduan looked towards the Ye Pavilion, "It's here." ”

"There's Cousin Law." Ye Guan smiled and said lightly.

Qiao Jingduan didn't speak, picked up the wheelchair in front of him with Ye Guan, and walked down.

The two of them landed, and a girl in a goose yellow dress walked in the distance, saluting a little shyly, "Yunshang has seen my cousin." ”

When Qiao Jingduan heard this, he glanced at Huo Yunshang coldly, "Hmm." ”

Huo Yunshang saw him so cold, after so many years, even though he had become accustomed to it, he still couldn't help but be disappointed, and after a moment, his eyes turned to Ye Pavilion again, and asked softly, "This is the cousin of the third aunt's family." ”

Ye Guan nodded lightly, his eyes moved, and he swept towards Qiao Jingduan.

Qiao Jingduan explained, "Your mother is in the Guogong Mansion, this is the only daughter of the eldest aunt, the girl of Huo Wangfu. ”

Ye Guan let out an "oh" and said no more.

"If my cousin has nothing to do, please let me go." Qiao Jingduan pushed Ye Guan, looked at Huo Yunsheng and said.

With the comparison, Huo Yunshang was even more aggrieved, but she knew that Qiao Jingduan didn't eat her at all, so she thought about it in her heart, so she set her eyes on Ye Pavilion and said softly, "Cousin Ah Guan, can I enjoy the lotus with you and my eldest cousin?" ”

Ah Guan looked at Huo Yunsheng's soft and weak appearance, his fingers curled, and he gently tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, and after a while, he said with a smile, "Okay!" ”

"Thank you, cousin Aguan," Huo Yunshang said, his eyes fell on Ye Guan's head with only a white hairband, thought about it, took a hosta from his sideburns, bent down and inserted it on Ye Guan's head, and said, "My cousin is beautiful and moving, and with this hosta, it looks even better." ”

"Really?" Ye Guan's face showed just the right amount of joy.

Although Huo Yunsheng was in pain, in order to please her, he still nodded, followed, turned his eyes, and looked at Qiao Jingduan again, "If it doesn't work, Ah Guan, you ask your cousin." ”

Ye Guan sneered when he heard Huo Yunsheng's words, "What does he know, don't ask." ”

Huo Yunshang was a little stunned when she heard Ye Guan's presumptuous words, she subconsciously looked at Qiao Jingduan, thinking that he would be angry, but Qiao Jingduan's face was not half displeased, but a little helpless.

Sensing the anomaly, she clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves.

"Let's go," Qiao Jingduan didn't bother to pay attention to Huo Yunsheng, and bowed his head to the Ye Pavilion and said.

Ye Guan raised his head, glanced at him with a smile, raised his hand and touched the hosta on his head and said, "What's the hurry, Cousin Huo gave me a hosta, and I haven't returned the gift yet!" ”

Qiao Jingduan raised his eyebrows, "Do you have something to return the gift?" ”

Ye Guan smiled deeply, "Why not?" ”

Saying that, she looked at Huo Yunsheng and said, "It is said that my cousin gave me a hosta, and I should have returned a jade bracelet to my cousin, but my cousin also saw it, I was dressed in this outfit, I was dressed in a simple way, and I thought about it, so I could only remind my cousin that this pregnant woman was the most unstable in the first three months, and she had to stay in bed. ”

Huo Yunshang listened to Ye Guan's words, her face was red and white, and her angry eyes were about to pop out, she stomped her foot hard, looked at Qiao Jingduan and said aggrievedly, "Cousin, do you just let her slander me like this and slander me?" ”

As he spoke, the next moment, he burst into tears.

Qiao Jingduan: "......"

Seeing that the people around him were gathering more and more, he rubbed his eyebrows, and had to mention that Ye Pavilion had been relieved, "What are you crying about, isn't it Ah Guan slandering you...... Not a month, but three or four months? ”

Huo Yunsheng, after listening to the first half of Qiao Jingduan's sentence, you thought that he was going to relieve the siege for himself, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he realized that he was helping her to relieve the siege, and it was clearly for the cripple of the Ye Pavilion.

"You, you all bully me......" Huo Yunshang didn't dare to argue, but her tears became more and more fierce, and then, while shouting that she was going to the Guogong Mansion to complain, she ran away.

"Let's go," Qiao Jingduan didn't even glance at Huo Yunsheng who ran away, and only lowered his head to speak to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan nodded.

In this way, the two of them stood up to everyone's eyes and walked to the depths of the ten-mile lotus pond.

Two quarters of an hour later, the sun outside was getting more and more intense, and Qiao Jingduan was afraid that the sun would reach the Ye Pavilion, so he simply took her to a nearby stone pavilion.

"I've forgotten to ask," in the stone pavilion with a suitable temperature, Ye Guan looked at the endless lotus leaves in the distance, and said, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

"Want to hear the truth?" Qiao Jingduan's hand clenched the wheelchair.

Ye Guan's tone paused, "It's all right." ”

"I was brought up by my grandmother, and you and your mother are the people she has cared about the most over the years."

"Love House and Woo?" Ye Guan smiled back.

Qiao Jingduan continued, "Not only that, I have always been a person who protects my shortcomings, you are my cousin, when I saw your leg broken with my own eyes, I had already decided that no matter what others do, I will always protect you in this life." ”

Ye Guan was silent for a moment, "Miss Huo is also your cousin. ”

Qiao Jingduan chuckled, "If she is pure-minded and has broken her legs, I can treat her so well." ”

Ye Guan finally couldn't help it, and glared back at him, "Can you not break my leg without leaving me for three sentences?!" ”

Qiao Jingduan was stunned for a moment, and then apologized, "I'm sorry." ”

Ye Guan ignored her anymore.

The two waited until the sun was less intense before they planned to go back.

It was still Qiao Jingduan who carried Ye Guan into the car.

However, this time I didn't go back to my house directly, and when I arrived at East Street, I suddenly stopped.

"My lord, the Chaohui Pavilion has arrived," Qiu Feng reminded outside.

Qiao Jingduan didn't explain, he just looked at Huo Yunsheng's hosta between the temples of the Ye Pavilion, picked her up and walked out with the wheelchair.

The two got out of the car together, and Ye Guan saw that Qiao Jingduan brought her to a jewelry shop.

The two went straight to the third floor.

Qiao Jingduan informed Ye Guan, "If you like it, you can take it back." ”

The cheapest set on the third floor of Zhaohui Pavilion costs more than 1,000 taels, and when Ye Pavilion heard him say this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it so profitable to be a brocade guard now?" ”

Qiao Jingduan patted her on the head, "You think too much, hurry up and pick out jewelry." ”

"I'm not going to pick." Ye Guan shook his head, "In my memory, I always used a headband. ”

"Shall I help you, then?" Qiao Jingduan asked.

Ye Guan nodded, "Thank you, pick a few more sets." ”

Qiao Jingduan didn't say anything more, he walked straight to the counter, glanced at it, and said to the guys in the shop, "Except for that set of black jade, wrap up the rest." ”

As soon as he said this, not only the ladies on the third floor were stunned, but even the guys were stunned.

But soon, the guy reacted again, and hurriedly called the shopkeeper to come over and help pack the box.

No one expected that the shopkeeper of Zhaohui Pavilion turned out to be a woman, and she was still a charming and touching woman.

"Princess?" It's just that the woman seemed to know Ye Guan, and as soon as she saw her, she subconsciously showed hatred, gritted her teeth and snorted.

"What princess?" Ye Guan raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Jingduan stopped directly in front of her and said to Qing Miaoniang, "There is a shopkeeper Lao, help me install all the heads and faces on the third floor." ”

Qing Miao Niang also wanted to look at the Ye Pavilion behind Qiao Jingduan again, but Qiao Jingduan blocked the Ye Pavilion tightly.

She was really afraid of the evil aura on his body, so she had to agree with a smile, turned around and put up the jewelry, and handed it to Qiu Feng who was waiting for the side.

"Let's go," Seeing that the jewelry was loaded, Qiao Jingduan picked up the Ye Pavilion and walked downstairs.

Qing Miao Niang clenched her fingers tightly, watching the familiar side face flash in the corridor, and countless doubts surged in her heart.

All this, what the hell is going on.

Downstairs, in the carriage, Ye Guan was also thinking about this matter, and after she sat down in the carriage, she looked at Qiao Jingduan with a frown and said, "That person just now seemed to know me before." ”

"That Qing shopkeeper is a person from Beijing," Qiao Jingduan explained lightly, "And you are from Wuzhou, how can she know you." ”

“…… That's right. Ye Guan nodded, thinking to himself, maybe she was too sensitive.

The two fell silent and did not speak again.

Outside the carriage, a line of iron horsemen passed quickly.

The curtain of the carriage on Ye Pavilion's side was blown up, and when Xiao He passed by, Yu Guang just happened to see the familiar face in the carriage.

At that moment, his heart hurt fiercely.

It's just that the chasing clouds under his crotch are running too fast, and when he finally stops and returns, there is still the carriage that touches his heart outside the Chaohui Pavilion.

The shocking side just now was like a trance of his.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Vice Admiral Han sensed that the situation had changed, and turned around to ask.

Xiao He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's okay, let's go," he said, and the group rode away again.

On the other side, Qiao Jingduan took Ye Guan straight back to Qiao Guogong's mansion.

Qiao Jingduan first sent the Ye Pavilion back to Qingfeng Garden, and then returned to his own Jingduan Courtyard.

Not long after the two rested, the news that Qiao Jingduan had bought the jewelry on the third floor of Chaohui Pavilion for the Ye Pavilion spread into the mansion.

That's nearly 50,000 taels of snowflake silver!

In the west courtyard, the second lady was about to go crazy, she dropped several teacups in one go, but she couldn't get down the breath in her heart, she simply asked the maid to serve her to change her clothes, and went to the east courtyard to find the eldest lady.

The eldest lady also heard the news from the outside at this time, but she has always been unable to control Qiao Jingduan, even if she is angry, she is not as ruthless as the second lady.

Listening to the second lady's request to see her now, she knew what he was for.

"Nope!" In order to avoid adding another layer of blockage, the eldest lady directly refused the second lady's visit, and instructed Aunt Mei Ruo with a cold face, "You tell her that I have already slept, and if there is anything, I will talk about it at night." ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Aunt Mei Ruo was ordered to leave.

She went to the flower hall and told the second lady what the eldest lady had ordered.

The second lady didn't expect the eldest lady to avoid her on purpose, and she slapped the table directly and became anxious, "When is it, why is the sister-in-law still in the mood to fall asleep, no, I'm going to go in to find her, I must break it with her!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and was about to go to the inner room.

Aunt Mei Ruo got the master's order, and hurriedly moved to stop the second lady, and said, "Please forgive the second lady, our lady has not slept well at night for the past few days, and now she can finally sleep peacefully for a while, please stop, don't disturb her peace." ”

"You won't let me!" The second lady said angrily at Aunt Mei Ruo, who was blocking in front of her.

Aunt Mei Ruo opened her hand, just not letting the second lady in.

Even though the second lady has a bad temper, a reckless temperament and a calculating temperament, she has been listening to the training under the nose of the old lady for many years, and she does not dare to really break into the inner room of the sister-in-law.

She had a loud voice, and she cried as soon as she entered the Nanqiu Courtyard.

The old lady had just finished copying the scriptures, and was about to squint for a while, when she howled like this, where was there still a little sleep, and hurriedly called her in, and asked carefully, "What happened to you, you are a housewife howling like this!" And is there a little bit of decency! ”

The second lady was even more aggrieved by the old lady's reprimand, and when she opened her mouth, she cried, knelt down beside the old lady, and said what Qiao Jingduan had done with a handful of snot and tears.

After hearing this, the old lady didn't have any ideas, she glanced at the second lady who was looking up at her face lightly, "It's just such a trivial matter, you howl like this?" ”

The second lady wiped her eyes again, and said unjustifiably but strongly, "How is this a trivial matter, our Guogong Mansion has not been divided yet, and every tael of silver that Jing Duan spends now is in the Gongzhong, hmph, if he uses it himself, it will be fine, and I, the second aunt, are not too careful, but why did he give all the flowers to the little ...... of the Ye Pavilion Little cousin," the second lady almost blurted out the words "little slut" in front of the old lady, but thanks to her quick response, she changed her mouth in time and changed it to "little cousin." ”

After changing his words, he secretly glanced at the old lady's face again, and saw that she did not show dissatisfaction, so he continued, "To put it mildly, Ah Guan, even if she is the granddaughter of the old lady's relatives, but she is not surnamed Qiao, she will marry in the future, and the silver will naturally become someone else's!" ”
