Chapter 262: Big Heart
Qi Chenjing was a little surprised, his eyes turned on Kang Shaofan, who was red-faced, and he understood the main reason why Kang Yan mentioned this marriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Su family is actually not the best object for the Kang family to marry.
Because in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, now the Chen family, the Kang family, and the Su family have been tied together with the An Wangfu, only the Qiao family, the Cheng family and the Yan family do not have much contact with Qi Chenjing on the surface.
At this time, the Chen family, the Kang family, and the Su family are really not suitable for marriage, and they should seek other in-laws, just in case something really happens one day, they can still have other in-laws to pull him along.
For Qi Chenjing, the in-laws of any of these three families are a secret help to him.
Kang Yan must have understood this truth in her heart, but she still promised to go to the Su family to help Kang Shaofan propose marriage, which shows that in Kang Yan's heart, she really loves Kang Shaofan's younger brother.
Qi Chenjing sighed in his heart, their sister and brother supported each other to get to where they are today, no wonder Kang Yan made this decision.
"This is a good thing, why don't we go and ask my grandmother and second uncle tomorrow." Qi Chenjing reined in his thoughts and said with a smile.
He and Kang Yan have already made a marriage, and no one will gossip when they go out.
Kang Yan nodded happily, and with Qi Chenjing opening his mouth, the chances of success in this family affair are naturally greater.
"Well, I'll go to the Ningguo Mansion and tell my grandmother about it." Kang Yan stood up happily, ready to go to see the eldest princess Fuyun.
She originally asked her grandmother and aunt to help choose a suitable girl, but now that their sister and brother have other ideas, they naturally want to go to the eldest princess of Ming Fuyun first.
Qi Chenjing's eyes darkened. He frowned and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier outside, and I am careful to suffer the cold. I'm not in a hurry at this time, let's go again tomorrow. ‘
Kang Shaofan also persuaded her. 'Sister, tomorrow the sky will be clear, and I will go with you to see my grandmother.' ‘
Kang Yan thought about it, so she gave up, it was okay to go tomorrow, it was snowing and ran by herself, and her grandmother would definitely blame her when she saw it.
'I'll go to the kitchen and see what's going on in the evening, you can stay for dinner and then go.' Kang Yan got up, and the lotus leaf, who was waiting behind her, went to get Kang Yan's cotton cloak. Qiu Ju stayed in place in a daze, a little distracted.
Kang Yan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to the lotus leaf who was carefully tying her belt: "You stay and serve the prince and the ninth young master, and let Qiu Ju go to the kitchen with me." ‘
Lotus Ye was stunned, looked at Qiu Ju, and nodded silently.
Qiu Ju's face changed, she glared at the lotus leaf, twisted her hands and shouted, "Girl." ‘
Kang Yeon looked at her calmly.
Qiu Ju gritted her teeth, her face turned a little pale, and she nodded for a while. "It's okay, I'll go to the kitchen with the girl."
Kang Yeon nodded, turned and walked out.
During the whole process, Qi Chenjing didn't seem to notice the situation here at all, and kept talking to Kang Shaofan. Kang Shaofan glanced here a few times, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.
At night. After Kang Yeon finished washing, she saw Tao Hong in the house to make her bed. The other big girl, Luyi, was packing up the clothes she was going to wear when she went out tomorrow, and put the clothes on the smoker to smoke.
Pink and green were chosen later. It's smaller than Lotus Leaf and Qiu Ju, and she took over the work of Qingmei and Apricot Blossom after getting married, but on weekdays, Lotus Leaf and Qiu Ju serve more by her side.
Both of them have just turned thirteen years old this year, Peach is smart, but she acts very measured, Luyi has a calm and generous personality, and she embroiders well with one hand.
"Why the two of you? What about lotus leaves? Kang Yan sat in front of the dresser and asked casually.
Taohong immediately took the dry soft cloth, carefully dried Kang Yan's hair, and replied: "Sister Lotus Ye asked the slave maid and Lu Yi to come in first to serve the girl, she went to Qiu Song's mother to say something, and said that she would come over in a while." ”
Kang Yeon's brows furrowed slightly, remembering the events of the day.
When did Qiu Ju get that kind of thought? Why didn't she know anything about it?
She and the lotus leaf were bought from the outside later, the lotus leaf is steady, Qiu Ju is lively, but both of them are quite well-behaved, and they are second-class maids when they enter the house, and later Kang Yan was named the county lord, and Song's mother promoted the two of them to the first class, and because of her four personal big girls at that time, Qingmei, apricot blossoms, lotus leaves, and Qiu Ju, the youngest of Qiu Ju, several people let her on weekdays.
is Kang Yan herself, sometimes she unconsciously indulges her.
Is it because of this that Qiu Ju's heart is big?
When did she have a mind about Qi Chenjing, she didn't know anything, Kang Yan was a little complicated in her heart, and after thinking about it carefully, Qi Chenjing didn't show the slightest abnormality in front of her during the day, even if she didn't look at Qiu Ju directly.
Thinking about it like this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was not afraid that Qi Chenjing would fall in love with Qiu Ju, he was a prince in his previous life, and now he is a prince, what kind of woman has not seen it, Qiu Ju is a little maid, even if she has two points of beauty, it is estimated that she will not be able to enter his eyes.
Kang Yan felt a little embarrassed, she couldn't even manage her own maid, and Qi Chenjing would definitely laugh at herself when she turned around.
Thinking about it like this, the slight dissatisfaction with Qiu Ju during the day rose again.
Did Lotus Ye go to Song's mother to talk about it?
At the same time, Lotus Ye, who was supposed to go to Song's mother, was asking Qiu Ju with a serious face, "What are you doing during the day?" ”
Qiu Ju bit her lip tightly, didn't speak, and only carefully combed her black hair over and over again with a horn comb.
Lotus Ye's brows furrowed, and he continued: "Although Prince An often comes on weekdays, but he is a guest in the end, why don't you let people inform the girl after you come, just bring it directly into the house, in case it ........"
Qiu Ju put down the comb a little impatiently, "Sister Lotus Leaf, where is there anything in case, the prince is our future uncle, my uncle is here, I will bring him into the girl's yard, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Yes, that's right. But you shouldn't just bring people in without even making a sound. Lotus Ye was also a little annoyed, feeling that what she just said was in vain.
She remembered Qiu Ju's later performance. sighed in her heart, even she sensed Qiu Ju's thoughts. The girl couldn't have noticed.
In the end, it was the sisters who entered the house on the same day, the two studied together, ate and lived together, and served by Kang Yan's side together, Lotus Ye didn't want to watch Qiu Ju go down a wrong path, so she patiently continued to persuade her.
Who knew that Qiu Ju didn't accept her love at all, and interrupted her words in a few words, "Sister's words are so unreasonable, when my uncle comes in." I'm the only one in the courtyard, how many mouths can I have, and I have to entertain my aunt, and I have to go in to report to the girl? ”
As she spoke, Qiu Ju pursed her lips, her tone becoming more and more impatient, "The girl didn't say anything, and she didn't reprimand me, I don't understand what Sister Lotus Ye is doing here." If the girl thinks it's wrong, she'll come and reprimand me. ”
The undisguised impatience and boredom in the words made Lotus Ye stunned, and looked at Qiu Ju's eyes in surprise and disappointment, "We've been on an errand together for so long." How can you fool me with such words, the prince went all the way from the outer courtyard to the inner house, and the mother-in-law on the second door must have reported the news to the house early. This is the rule of our family, you won't forget it, right? ”
Said here. Lotus Ye couldn't help but have a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Who did the mother-in-law on the second door pass the news to?" I didn't ask, but it was snowing outside when the prince came, and the mother-in-law and girls all over the yard were hiding from the snow, why did you wait in the yard and meet the prince? What's there to make the big girl next to you brave the snow to deal with in the yard? ”
Lotus leaves are not stupid, the rules in this house were sorted out by Sister Qingmei before entering Beijing earlier, after the girl entered Beijing, Mother Song personally knocked everyone everywhere, and re-emphasized the rules of the family.
There are only two masters in the family, both of whom were still in the inner courtyard at the time, and the mothers-in-law who guarded the second gate did not dare not report the news.
Lotus Ye made the words clear, Qiu Ju's face was a little unbearable, and she pulled down her face, "That's right, the mother-in-law who guarded the second gate told me the news at that time, I thought that the prince was going to arrive in an instant, so I simply waited for the prince in the courtyard, Sister Lotus Ye, I just didn't report to the girl, I didn't do anything else, the girl hasn't accused me yet, why is Sister Lotus Ye here endlessly?" Do you want me to go to the girl and plead with you before I stop? ”
Qiu Ju has always been sharp-tongued, and what she said seemed to be that Lotus Ye was unforgiving to her, and suddenly Lotus Ye trembled with anger, and what she wanted to say was choked in her heart, and she couldn't say it anymore.
Indeed, in addition to serving more diligently, Qiu Ju did not have any obvious mistakes in the future.
She was originally thinking about the love of being good sisters, if the girl noticed Qiu Ju's thoughts, she would definitely dispose of Qiu Ju, although she had not been with Kang Yan for a long time, but Lotus Ye sensitively realized that Kang Yan was definitely not a person who would let the maids around her serve her husband at will.
She wanted to persuade Qiu Ju, but she didn't expect the two to talk speculatively.
Lotus Ye was silent, and sighed deeply for a while, "Today I spoke a little more rushed, but Qiu Ju I am also for your good, we are the girl's maid first, you see that after the prince entered the house today, you behaved so attentively, how did the girl think of you?" ”
Qiu Ju raised her eyebrows and sneered, obviously disagreeing with what Lotus Ye said about her, "Sister Lotus Ye thinks that I took the cloak for the prince today and stole my sister's limelight, my sister is angry with me, in my opinion, my sister is too stingy, didn't the girl let me follow me to the kitchen later, leaving my sister to serve the prince in the house?" ”
In the end, there was still two points of unwillingness in her tone, Kang Yan said that when she asked her to follow her to the kitchen, she really wanted to find an excuse to stay in the house and serve Qi Chenjing, but when she touched Kang Yan's calm and deep eyes, she didn't have the courage to say it after all, and at the same time, she felt that if she was too attentive, the secret thoughts that had been hidden on weekdays would definitely be exposed to the girl.
Therefore, she hesitated again and again, and finally chose to follow Kang Yan to the kitchen, but she was a little dissatisfied with the lotus leaf who stayed in the house to serve Qi Chenjing.
Sister Lotus Ye prides herself on taking care of her on weekdays, so in such a cold weather, why doesn't she go to the kitchen for herself?
Qiu Ju's back-to-back rake made Lotus Ye annoyed and angry, and couldn't help but roar in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? You think that everyone else has that kind of mind just like you. I also advise you with good intentions about your performance today. The girl must have seen it, so you can do it yourself. ”
I feel that it is futile to go on and on. Lotus Ye didn't want to entangle with her anymore, so she turned around and brushed her sleeves away.
"Sister really doesn't have the same mind as me?" Lotus Ye walked to the door, but Qiu Ju's faint voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Her figure paused, for a moment, let out a long breath, and when she looked back, she saw Qiu Ju's eyes looking at her with both expectation and worry in her eyes.
Lotus Ye shook her head, "I won't be a concubine." Qiu Ju, you listen to me, like Sister Qingmei and Sister Xinghua, how good it would be to marry out and be a proper wife, and the girl and the prince are in love, and they can't get into anyone, why do you bother......"
In the end, thinking of each other's affection, although Lotus Ye said that she didn't care about her, she couldn't help but persuade her more.
Qiu Ju didn't listen. When she heard Lotus Ye say that she didn't have the same thoughts as herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lotus Leaf didn't fight with her.
What's so good about being like the two sisters of Qingmei and Xinghua, you still have to serve others when you get married. The child born still has to be a slave and a slave, and will be called by others for the rest of his life.
But if you serve Prince An, it will be different, although it is also a concubine. But the prince's concubine is also much more noble than others. And the child born in the future will be the master of gold and jade, if you are lucky to have another son. She will also have a decree in the future.
Thinking of Qi Chenjing's handsome and clear face, Qiu Ju's heart was hot, and she didn't know when she started to have a charming mind about Qi Chenjing, it seemed that on the night of Macheng Mansion, King An came to visit the girl at night, it happened to be her night, they thought they were asleep, but in fact they didn't, she heard the words of King An in the inner room to his own girl, and her heart trembled inexplicably.
How nice it would have been if those words had been said to herself, she thought to herself.
Since then, Qi Chenjing's face has appeared in front of her eyes from time to time, she didn't understand it at that time, until she entered Beijing again and saw Qi Chenjing, the king of An, who was becoming more and more handsome and noble, that she understood her thoughts.
has always been careful to hide his thoughts, but since King An and his own girl got married, he has often been in and out of the Kang family, Qiu Ju found that he could not hide his admiration more and more, and often involuntarily dressed up more delicately every day, just looking forward to him coming to the Kang family that day.
Qiu Ju disagreed with Lotus Ye's persuasion, and saw that Lotus Ye said that Kang Yan and Qi Chenjing were in love with each other, and they couldn't get into anyone, so she was not convinced, and subconsciously retorted: "That's the prince, that man is not three wives and four concubines, the prince can also have side concubines, madam, it is impossible for our girl to have only one princess in the future." ”
Qiu Ju said and raised her hand to comb the broken hair on her sideburns, revealing the charm of a girl, "When the girl marries, there will always be times when her body is inconvenient, I can help the girl serve the prince, sister, don't worry, I won't fight with the girl, I can also help the girl deal with the future prince's side concubine, I won't harm the girl." ”
These words were said so smoothly that she didn't know how many times she thought about it in her heart, as if she had thought very thoroughly and clearly.
Lotus Ye didn't expect her bitter persuasion, Qiu Ju didn't listen to a word at all, she couldn't help but be very discouraged, "Do you know that you are equivalent to a traitor and betrayed the girl." ”
Qiu Ju disagreed, "How can this be a betrayal of the girl, I said that I would not fight with the girl, and I will help the girl keep the prince, Sister Lotus Ye, what are you doing to persuade me like this, should it be?" ”
She looked Lotus Ye up and down with suspicious eyes, suspecting that what Lotus Ye said to herself just now was deceiving her by saying that she had no intention of being a prince and was unwilling to be a concubine.
Lotus Ye's face suddenly turned cold, "I have said everything that should be said, if you still insist on this, I hope you will not regret it in the future." ”
With that, he strode out, and this time, never looked back.
Leaving Qiu Ju standing in place, biting her lip tightly, after a while, she went back and continued to comb her hair, she didn't believe that with her appearance, Prince An would not take a fancy to her.
Before Kang Yan went to bed, Lotus Ye slowly walked in, and saw that Kang Yan was already lying on the bed, so she stepped forward to put down the tent for Kang Yan, and instructed Peach and Green, "I'll be on duty tonight, and you two should go back and rest first." ”
Kang Yan keenly noticed that Lotus Ye's eyes were red, and she obviously cried, "Mother Song taught you a lesson?" ”
Lotus Ye lowered her head and shook her head, "It's nothing," paused, and put down her mouth: "Actually, the slave maid went to find Qiu Ju, not to find Mother Song." ”
Hearing her mention Qiu Ju, the smile on Kang Yan's face faded, but she didn't say anything, only hummed lightly.
Lotus Ye looked at Kang Yan's silent expression, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a pop, "Girl, the slave wants to ask you for something." ”
Kang Yan's expression was faint, "Something to say, what is this?" ”
Her voice was light but with a majesty, Lotus Ye didn't dare to kneel anymore, stood up and looked at Kang Yan's face carefully, "The slave wants to beg the girl to take Qiu Ju lightly." ”
From the light hair to Qiu Ju, Kang Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at the lotus leaf, "She asked you to intercede with me?" ”
Although it was a rhetorical question, there was an unclear irony in his voice.
Lotus Ye gritted her teeth and shook her head, "The slave knows that everything can't be hidden from the girl, so I just ask the girl to treat her lightly for the sake of Qiu Ju who has not yet made a big mistake." (To be continued.) )
