Chapter 10: The Hiring Storm 1
Now everyone in Ancheng is talking about the most lively thing about Prime Minister Zuo's family, because the current Duan Ruhao is really in the limelight, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter in his house are all favored by the royal family, and the second daughter was selected by the emperor as a virtuous concubine, and not long ago, the third daughter received invitations from Princess Yan one after another, which must have been favored by the regent, but people didn't look down on the regent, and they didn't accept the invitation, and although the eldest daughter was older, she was loved by the prince Jia, People just like people with a special temperament like her, no, they have already prepared gifts and went to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion today.
An Yunshuo brought several large items over today, Duan Ruhao and Zhao Lingyue greeted An Yunshuo in the hall, and when they heard the gift list read by the guards, they smiled from ear to ear, although this Jia Wang Ye is a complete gentleman, he does not learn and has no skills, but he is also a royal family, and he is generous, he can accept Duan Qingqian's identity as a concubine, and give her the position of side concubine, which can be regarded as worthy of her.
Duan Ruhao laughed loudly, "Prince Jia is polite, the little girl can enter the eyes of the prince, which is the blessing of the little girl." ”
An Yunshuo stood in front of him, looking high, and his tone was proud, "That's not it, there are many concubines in this king's mansion who beg this king to give it, but this king hasn't given it, why hasn't she come out yet?" ”
"The subordinate has already called, but the subordinate is afraid that the little woman will be stubborn." After Duan Ruhao finished speaking, he frowned, presumably An Yunshuo could also understand.
"Don't be afraid, no matter how stubborn her temperament is, this king can be trained to be obedient, and someone will be sent to pick her up in 3 days."
Before Duan Ruhao could say anything, Zhao Lingyue spoke first, "That should really be her blessing." ”
And here in Cuiyuan, Mama Li couldn't find Duan Qingqian when she came here, she had to look for it nearby, Mama Li didn't see Duan Qingqian after looking for a long circle, so she went back to the hall directly to resume her life, saying that she didn't see Duan Qingqian.
Duan Ruhao and Zhao Lingyue felt that it was impossible when they heard it, as far as their cognition was concerned, Duan Qingqian's weird person was not like a person who would run out.
"Mama, are you looking carefully?"
"Madam, I've looked for the old body inside and out, but I haven't seen it, and I've asked the guards at the door, but I haven't seen the eldest lady."
"Let's go and have a look at her yard."
"Master, this..."
Duan Ruhao looked at An Yunshuo and thought for a while, "It's okay, it's all my own family, go to her yard and have a look, Prince Jia, please." ”
An Yunshuo actually wanted to see Duan Qingqian's yard, and wanted to see what kind of environment she lived in as a woman with such a temperament, and a concubine had the courage not to obey her parents' orders, but to say that she was looking for her in-laws, which was really interesting.
And Duan Qingqian was on the street early in the morning, and when he heard someone talking on the street, he knew that An Yunshuo actually sent someone to give gifts, and he also preached everywhere that he would welcome her over as his side concubine three days later.
Duan Qingqian complained to himself, "I really somehow provoked this difficult second generation of officials?" ”
Duan Qingqian immediately made a decision, and didn't go to look for any house, and went directly to the Xiaoying Inn, the shopkeeper immediately came out to greet him, and the owner ordered him to be polite and polite when he saw her coming, and he also saw Duan Qingqian and An Yunyan come in together last time, so he still remembered Duan Qingqian.
"Girl, you're here. This side please. ”
Duan Qingqian was originally afraid that the shopkeeper didn't know her, after all, she didn't come out often, "Then there will be a shopkeeper." ”
"The girl is polite. Girl, please wait here for a moment, and the little one will go to the owner. ”
"Okay."
The so-called proprietor of the shopkeeper is actually Xu Ziqi, Xu Ziqi has nothing to do in the past two days, he is waiting for Duan Qing's reply at the inn, he is still very curious about An Yunmo's wife, this young lady also said that she will give a reply in the next two days, whether she agrees or not, he is very curious, and also hopes to reply to An Yunmo as soon as possible when he gets her reply.
"Young master, that girl is here."
"Coming? So fast? ”
"Yes, I'm waiting in the wing."
"Okay, I got it."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went down.
"Someone."
"Young master."
"Go and inform him."
"Yes."
Xu Ziqi didn't say anyone, but the guards knew who he should notify.
"Yo, Miss Duan is here so soon, I don't know what kind of reply it is?"
Xu Ziqi didn't look like a guest when he came in, and sat down by himself.
Duan Qingqian was not surprised, there must be many capable people under someone like An Yunmo, and he could come over as soon as she entered the inn, presumably someone who was familiar with An Yunmo, otherwise he would not dare to get along with her with such a familiar attitude.
Duan Qingqian smiled lightly, "I don't know who this son is?" ”
"It's not a great character, in Xia Xu Ziqi."
"Young Master Xu, it's polite."
"Don't use this set, tell me what your decision is? If I refuse him, I will think of a good way to comfort the Lord Regent. ”
"Xu Gongzi is not him, what if he listens to you."
Xu Ziqi saw that Duan Qingqian was very calm, and she couldn't see what the choice was at all in her attitude, so she straightened her body and asked seriously, "I heard that Prince Jia gave your mansion a dowry just now, I wonder if Miss Duan heard it when she left the mansion?" ”
Duan Qingqian picked up the pastries on the table and ate some, she came out early in the morning, and now she was a little hungry, "I heard." ”
"Then you answered? Now you're here to refuse the regent? ”
Xu Ziqi actually cares about An Yunmo, and Liu Ruyun rejected An Yunmo like this five years ago.
Duan Qing analyzed with a shallow smile, "Although there are three wives and four concubines in King Jia's mansion, at least he knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, as long as he pleases him, it is not easy to ask for anything." ”
Xu Ziqi was a little incredulous, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" It is rumored on the street that the eldest lady of the Duan family is very backbone, and you are willing to marry him as far as he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has all kinds of gentlemen? ”
"Hehe, Xu Gongzi, you are still too young, things change from time to time, what you have always insisted on before will become stupid in an inadvertent moment, and the things you insisted on before have become floating clouds."
Xu Ziqi was even more puzzled, "Isn't it?" Isn't that the difference between yesterday and today? If you say a little longer, it's the difference between today and the day before yesterday. ”
Duan Qingqian didn't answer him, things changed like this in her place, she could have insisted on it before, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the royal people, but she didn't expect her life trajectory to fly into An Yunshuo, a stinky fly, as far as his lustful temperament was concerned, the woman he fancied would definitely find a way to get it, she didn't have time to deploy everything to deal with him, and now she could only find An Yunmo, the big tree.
An Yunmo has his own channel, and after receiving Xu Ziqi's message informing him, he has already come over, and he has already come to the Xiaoying Inn at this time.
"Lord Wang, you're here."
Xu Ziqi moved out of his place.
"You go out first, I'll have a good talk with Miss Duan."
"It's okay, you talk, I'll just talk on the side."
Xu Ziqi just wanted to watch the excitement on the sidelines.
An Yunmo looked over with a look.
"Okay, you talk, I'll go out for a walk."
Duan Qingqian saw An Yunmo come in, and was about to step forward to salute, but An Yunmo interrupted, "Miss Duan, don't be polite, sit." ”
Duan Qingqian nodded, sat down and took a sip of tea from a teacup to strengthen his courage, his eyes aimed at An Yunmo, as if he had something to say.
"Why is Miss Duan polite this time, if you have something to say, you can just say it."
"I said, don't blame it."
"It's okay, this king forgives you for your innocence."
Then I asked. Ignorance... How is the Regent in health? ”
An Yunmo's hand holding the cup paused slightly, and then took a sip of tea, many people outside wanted to find out how his body was, but his body was like a mystery, and no one knew. The scene suddenly became quiet, and Duan Qingqian didn't know what to say, so he carefully picked up the teacup in front of him and said softly.
"The little girl doesn't mean to offend, but the person who marries must always know the other party's situation, and I can't be widowed just after I got married, right?"
An Yunmo was only slightly touched, Duan Qingqian's question was not too much, he put down the teacup, his eyes were still so deep that people couldn't guess, and said lightly, "Since this king can live for one or three years, he will definitely be able to survive these three years, and the next three years will be the same." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Since five years have passed, who says that there will be no next five years, and then the next five years, he himself has hope of living, and that is enough.
Duan Qingqian took another sip of tea, held the teacup, and continued to ask, "Then I don't know how many concubines there are in the Regent's Mansion?" Do you have... The girl you want? ”
Although Anxin Yan had probably said something before, she was not the party after all, how could she know what he thought? So she still said hello, she was also sincere, if she didn't figure it out, everything would be a foregone conclusion by then, so wouldn't she jump into the fire by herself?
An Yunmo didn't expect Duan Qingqian to ask him this kind of thing, in his opinion, Duan Qingqian didn't look like an emotional person, she was very rational, she knew what she wanted and what she could want, but she didn't expect to care about this child's affection.
Duan Qingqian looked at An Yunmo looking at her with strange eyes, and said softly, "If it is inconvenient for the regent to answer, it will be ,...... if he doesn't answer."
Before Duan Qingqian's words were finished, An Yunmo had already interrupted, "This king is not a person who messes with flowers and grass, most of them were trained in the military camp five years ago, and the few women who had the opportunity to meet are no longer half affectionate. In the years when he was poisoned and returned to the city, the king had little contact with women, and at the low point of the king's life, if there was such a woman who had been by the king's side, no matter what her identity was, the king would not have wronged her. ”
Duan Qingqian originally thought that An Yunmo would not answer her, but he didn't expect him to explain, doesn't this mean that he trained in the military camp five years ago, and he didn't have the opportunity to meet women, and he didn't have the character of being a flower and grass, so he didn't accept any concubines, and those who rarely knew him had no affection, and after being poisoned, he would have had fewer opportunities to know women, if he had it, he would have married him as a princess.
Duan Qing snorted, "That ......"
An Yunmo remembered that he had collected information about Duan Qingqian, and he didn't wait for Duan Qingqian to ask before answering directly, "This king is not a gambler, nor is he a womanizer, and he will not beat a woman for no reason." ”
Hearing An Yunmo say it so bluntly, Duan Qingqian was embarrassed for a moment, just like this, An Yunmo is really good, he has all the conditions she wants to marry, and all that is missing between them is love.
Duan Qingqian responded softly, after all, she didn't have enough confidence, "Oh." ”
Duan Qingqian put down the teacup, thought for a while, raised his head and looked at An Yunmo, and said seriously: "I am willing to marry you." ”
An Yunmo's hand on the table tightened, and there were slight ups and downs in his heart, but he didn't show it in his eyes, and still said lightly, "Miss Duan has thought it through?" ”
"Well, think it through. It's just that I heard just now that Prince Jia went to the mansion to be hired, and I don't know ......"
An Yunmo added tea to Duan Qingqian, "Drink tea." ”
"Okay."
Duan Qingqian just responded, but didn't drink it.
"As long as you decide clearly, the king will take care of those things."
"Good. That ......"
"The jade pendant that my aunt gave you the day before yesterday are you still kept?"
"Keep it."
"When you go home, tell the truth about the events of the day, and the jade peiquan should be hired by your aunt for this king."
"Okay."
"If you embarrass you for other things, all of them will be said to be the king's, and if he wants to find trouble, tell him to come to the king."
Hearing this, Duan Qingqian was much more relaxed, and with the word regent's words, she was not afraid.
Duan Qingqian's own affairs were solved, and her mood was better, so she asked An Yunmo, "Then I wonder if the regent needs the little woman's cooperation?" Or is it something that needs to be understood? ”
"No, you don't."
"Well, if it's okay, the little girl will go back to the house first, and the house will definitely be looking for me urgently."
"Do you want to send someone to see you off?"
"No, I'll go back faster by myself."
"Okay, then be careful."
"Okay."
After Duan Qingqian finished speaking, he stood up and saluted An Yunmo, and walked outside, but when he walked to the door, An Yunmo asked her again.
"Miss Duan, did you really decide to marry this king? You can still choose now, but you don't have to choose when you walk out of this door. ”
Duan Qingqian turned his head and smiled at An Yunmo, and said, "Don't worry, the Regent, I'm not a reckless person, since I have decided, I won't regret it, does the Regent regret it?" Don't want to marry me anymore? ”
"This king never regrets it, as long as you dare to marry, this king will dare to marry."
"Okay."
After speaking, Duan Qingqian left.
After Duan Qingqian left, Xu Ziqi walked in, An Yunmo instructed him some things, and Xu Ziqi immediately went to do it.
