Chapter Seventy-Nine: Persuade the Marquis to take a concubine

Jiang Chuan jumped off the kang, pulled his slippers, sat on the stool in front of the table, closed his eyes and waited for Qi Xuan to comb his hair.

He likes to comb his hair when he closes his eyes and thinks about the schedule of today's day, and when his hair is combed, he has a clear idea of what he needs to do for the day.

The door opened, and there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, but there was no movement behind him.

"What are you doing in a daze? Haven't woken up yet? I overslept today, and I have delayed my morning exercise, and when you comb my hair and have breakfast, I have to go to the camp to see how the training of the recruits is doing. ”

Jiang Chuan thought that Qi Xuan was behind him, and he closed his eyes and talked to himself.

The footsteps approached, and the person behind him began to comb his hair, but his movements were clumsy, and he pulled his hair several times in a row, Jiang Chuan, who was in pain, couldn't help frowning, opened his eyes and said, "What's wrong with you today, clumsy?" ”

When he turned around, he saw that the person behind him was not Qi Xuan, but the Manchu princess Yatu, and frowned and asked, "Why are you?" What about Qi Xuan? ”

Yatu was so frightened by Jiang Chuan's sudden turn that he stepped back several steps, looking frightened, and the horn comb in his hand fell to the ground.

"Hou, Hou Ye, Sister Qi Xuan went to the kitchen to arrange breakfast, let me serve you here, slave, slave maid is clumsy, hurt Hou Ye, and ask Hou Ye for forgiveness!"

Yatu lowered her head in a panic and whispered.

Jiang Chuan looked at her frightened appearance, calling herself me and calling herself a slave again, obviously still not switching between her original identity and her current identity, and she was a little speechless.

"Well, I don't blame you. Keep your head up. Jiang Chuan sighed and said lightly.

Yatu slowly raised his head, and looked at Jiang Chuan a little timidly, not daring to say more.

Jiang Chuan hadn't seriously looked at this Manchu princess before, but when he looked at it carefully, this little appearance was still very cute, with black hair, a white face, a pair of big black grape-like eyes with a timid gaze, a small nose with a delicate and straight nose bridge, a small mouth with full and ruddy lips, a small dimple on the left cheek, a tall and slender figure, although a coarse cloth dress could not hide her graceful figure.

That kind of shy and timid look made the hardcover man who had not touched a woman in the past six months feel rippling in his heart, and a certain part also swelled unconsciously, and a pair of eyes stared intently at the girl in front of him.

Jiang Chuan's eyes made Yatu's heart suddenly tighten, although she is a princess, but she is not an ignorant teenager who is careless, she understands what this kind of look means.

Since she became a captive, she has been most afraid of this kind of thing in addition to death. But in the past few months, as if the man in front of her had forgotten about herself, her worry naturally faded.

Is this the kind of thing to be faced at this moment? She couldn't help but shrink her body and subconsciously stepped back.

"Bumu Butai's daughter is really a beauty." Jiang Chuan realized his gaffe and coughed lightly.

Yatu didn't reply to his words, and continued to hug his body tightly, lowering his head, and his whole body trembled violently.

Looking at her like this, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt bored, and his voice returned to his previous indifference: "You go out, let Qi Xuan come." ”

Yatu was pardoned, hurriedly confessed his sin, and hurriedly walked out of the warm pavilion.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, trying to drive away the charming thoughts in his heart, and said to himself: "It seems that I really have to find a woman, this person who has eaten meat is a vegetarian every day, not only a bird fades out of his mouth, but also a bird fades out of his mouth." ”

Before the words fell, the door curtain was opened, it was Qi Xuan, who heard Jiang Chuan's words, and said with a smile: "What kind of bird did Master Hou say?" There are no birds in this winter, and all the birds in the mountains are gone. ”

Jiang Chuan's old face flushed, and he passed perfunctorily. I thought that the girl went out in a panic just now, and she wouldn't be misunderstood by Qi Xuan, otherwise her image of the Hou Ye, who has always been guarded like jade and has a decent style, will collapse.

Qi Xuan walked behind Jiang Chuan, skillfully combed his hair, and said, "Master Hou, what do you think of that little girl in Yatu?" ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, why did she ask this, did she really see something, so she said indifferently: "What's the matter?" Isn't it just a little girl's film? ”

Qi Xuan chuckled and said, "Master Hou, the slave maid thinks that you also have to find someone by your side who knows how to serve you." Wouldn't it be nice to take care of your diet and daily life on weekdays and warm your bedding at night? If you fancy which of the girls below, the slave maid will be in charge to help the Hou Ye say something. ”

Jiang Chuan coughed, almost choked by Qi Xuan's words, this girl is also an official lady, how can she speak so bluntly. Could it be that he saw the thoughts of this marquis, and said slowly: "Aren't you serving, aren't you willing to serve me, and want to find someone to replace me?" Or are you afraid that I will accidentally eat you? ”

Qi Xuanqiao's face flushed, and the movements in her hands stopped, and she said quietly after a while: "Master Hou, it's not that the slave is unwilling to serve you. If you hadn't saved me, the slave would have been dead by now. As long as the Hou Ye does not dislike it, the slave is willing to serve you for a lifetime. It's just that there are some things that the slave and maid haven't thought about yet, but I'm just worried that if you are in case, the slave and maid will ruin your interest again, and it will not be good to make Hou Ye angry.

The slave also knows that Master Hou, you are ambitious in the world, and this Manchu Tartar is not your opponent at all. Sooner or later, this Liaodong will be in your pocket. The slave maid thought, this Yatu is also the princess of a country, if the Hou Ye can accept her, he will definitely save a lot of effort by subduing those Tartars in the future. ”

Jiang Chuan was really a little surprised that Qi Xuan said this, turned to look at her and said, "How did you think of this?" ”

Qi Xuan said: "When I was a slave, my father taught me to recognize a lot of words and read a lot of books, so I know a little bit about the history of the past and the present. This kind of thing cannot just rely on fighting and killing, and all kinds of means must be used. Don't talk about the far, let's just say that the Manchu Tartar in front of him, the current Manchu emperor and their nobles, which one of them married Fujin is not a noble woman from various Mongolian tribes.

It is said that Yatu's mother, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, is said to be a woman from the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. This Horqin tribe is one of the largest tribes in Mongolia. The Manchu Qing were able to subjugate the Mongol tribes, not only by force, but also by marriage. Therefore, the slave maid thought that if the Hou Ye could accept Yatu, it would be of great benefit to the conquest of the Manchu Kingdom in the future. ”

Jiang Chuan was surprised when Qi Xuan said this, and after a while, he looked at the girl in front of him with a gentle temperament and said, "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge, but I underestimated you." ”
