Women, or embroidering or fluttering butterflies or reading or making moons, are in different shapes and are expressive and realistic. The third row has six drawings, engraved with lions, phoenixes, flowers and plants, etc., and the whole screen is calm and filled with aura.

Mrs. Tuesday praised Qiao Siwan again. The smile on Qiao Siwan's face was faint.

She always felt that this time the people from the Zhou family came very strangely.

After reading the screen, Qiao Siwan retreated from Shou'an Hall. She glanced at Ruby. Ruby immediately came to her senses, turned around and walked briskly goodbye.

Seeing Qiao Siwan say goodbye, Mrs. Tuesday smiled: "Old lady." Actually, today. We have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Hall! Wuguo Mansion. The old lady knows. It was a first-class prosperous prince's house, and the Duchess of Wuguo held the old lady to talk about a marriage for the eldest young master of her family. Finally, I thought of your eldest lady. "The eldest young master of the Wumu Mansion is indeed Chen Jingrui. Li Shi heard about the Wuguo Mansion. There was a jump in my heart, since Chen Lanxin's incident. She guarded against this Wuguo Mansion behind her, for fear that people would blame the Qiao family for this account. It's just that she's calculating. I didn't expect it. The Chen family will propose marriage for Chen Jingrui. Come to think of it. She had a three-point smile on her face, "Second Madam, is this looking for fun?" I heard that the eldest young master of the Chen family has a fiancée.

Mrs. Zhou drank tea by herself, and sat down with dignity. Mrs. Tuesday seemed to have a plan, and said with a smile: "The old lady said that this is the old yellow calendar." I won't hide it from you, in the past, the young master Chen confirmed that the next marriage was the long-term lady of the Nan'an public, and I regret that this young lady's blessings are too thin. I've been sick for a few years and I'm still dying. It's gone. Alas. I'm tired of the eldest young master. According to his premise. It will not be until today that it has not been subjected to the room. It's all because of this Miss Xu, and she wasted a lot of time. Li glanced at Mrs. Tuesday with a complicated expression, hesitated, and said slowly: "Is this the intention of the Duchess of Wuguo?" ”

Mrs. Tuesday smiled: "That's natural, Duchess Wu Guo said that she met Miss Qiao in a random place, and saw her gentle and lovely, and she was both talented and beautiful." I moved this mentality. It's a pity that Miss Xu was still there at the time, she just thought about it, and now Miss Xu is gone. came to beg our old lady to protect the media. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he immediately frowned, and Old Taijun Zhou scolded lightly: "What are you talking about!" The Wuguo Mansion has a loving family. At that time, Miss Xu was seriously ill. Nan An Gong himself felt that he couldn't live with others, and offered to withdraw from his family, but the Duke of Wuguo refused to do so, saying that since he had been engaged, there was no reason to regret his marriage. Alas, I regret Miss Xu. is such a good family, but she is not blessed to marry in the past. Mrs. Tuesday hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what the old lady said is that I was in too much of a hurry and didn't make it clear, and I asked the old lady not to be surprised." Lee's expression softened. But he said lightly: "Young Master Chen's marriage is indeed a lot of merit, and I am the most sympathetic in my heart." It's just that your request is too sudden, and I'm actually very unexpected, not to mention that I can't be the master of this marriage alone, so I have to discuss it with her parents. ”

Mrs. Tuesday smiled and said, "Old lady, you have to consider this marriage carefully, the family history of the Wuguo Mansion." Young Master Chen's appearance. At the end is illustrious and prosperous. You can't find it even with a lantern! ”

Li Shi said lukewarmly: "What Mrs. Zhou said is true. It's just that the most distressing thing for me is Wan'er, if I blindly marry someone because of the high family background of the Wuguo Mansion and the good way out of Young Master Chen, wouldn't others want to say that my Qiao family is greedy for prosperity? ”

Mrs. Zhou put down the teacup and said with a faint smile: "What the old lady said is that choosing a son-in-law is to be carefully selected, and it doesn't hurt if you want to think about it again." It's just that the time can't be too long, Miss Xu has just been gone for a few days, and the door of the Wuguo Mansion was flattened by the old Yue, I don't know how many people want to raise the lady to the young master Chen, my family has a total of two concubines, and one married into the prince's mansion. One is too young, and the other girls are all concubines, and they are not worthy of Wu Guogong's family background at all, otherwise it will not be your turn to think slowly here! ”

This clearly means that the joy of the Wuguo Mansion and the Qiao family have given your family a lot of face, so you don't want to take Qiao. If you don't miss this shop in this village, the Li family is also a clever person, and you will be clear after only listening to half of it. Xindao said that your family has a concubine of the emperor's eldest grandson, why is it my family's turn to marry a prince's mansion to be regarded as attached? I was a little depressed in my heart. It's just that because of Mrs. Zhou's affection, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only sarcastically say, "Okay." We'll be sure to give you a quick reply to this sooner. "Yumei entered the tea exchange at this time and listened to it all. Amazement in my heart. But he didn't show anything on his face, and went out again with his head down.

Said it again. Mrs. Zhou stood up to say goodbye, Li personally sent it to the gate, and when she came back, her expression was already a little gloomy, and she said to Zhang's mother: "Go, go and invite the master to come!" Then he said, "I have a major matter to discuss." ”

Zhang's mother answered, but when she came back, she reported that Li had been invited out after lunch. Qiao Li is indeed not at home, he is now sitting in the Wuguo Mansion, today is the birthday banquet of the Wu Guogong, the Guogong Mansion held a banquet, and invited all the ministers and magnates to come. The palanquins of these officials. Fill a street entirely. The hall is even more lit up. Insert a new one. It looks like Dongfeng is proud, and it is very popular.

Qiao Li drank wine, ate, and watched the play, so he and his friends generally stood up and said goodbye. Wu Guogong smiled at him and said in a low voice, "Qiao Shilang, don't go." Liao Shangshu didn't come today, I have one. I want to ask the waiter to understand and tell him, please stay for a while. ”

Hearing this, Lin Wenyuan, the secretary of the military department, glanced at Wu Guogong. Suppress the suspicions in your belly. turned around and walked away with the others, leaving only Qiao Li to follow Wu Guogong into the study in confusion.

"Grandpa Guo. What do you have? If you want to bring the letter, I understand that you can bring it to Liao Shangshu in the morning. Tell me straight. Qiao Li looked at Wu Guogong's demeanor and steadied his wings. The other party is the grandfather of the country, and he is just a servant of the ministry. Naturally, they can't afford to blame.

Wuguo Gong Chen Feng smiled slightly and said: "This is just an excuse, in fact, I have something to report to Qiao Shilang." ”

Qiao Li was full of suspicion. I didn't know what Shi Fang had to say, but I heard Chen Feng say lightly: "A month ago." I was ordered to go out of Beijing on business. The result is at the city gates. I met a woman with a small girl who was going out of town. The soldiers defending the city discovered that she was a courtesan who had escaped from a green house. So I detained them, and this woman was afraid of being caught, so she stopped my palanquin and shouted grievances, probably thinking that I was Jing Zhaoyin. "He said half-truths and half-truths, and it is impossible to tell how the woman was perceived. Qiao Li heard this. I just felt my head "boom". His face turned pale, and Chen Feng looked at him coldly. Seeing that he was about to faint, he smiled and said, "Qiao Shilang, this woman's name is Kou'er. She was also holding a seven-year-old girl in her arms, according to her words. The child was born to her and an official. But the child's biological father refused to recognize her identity and only gave her a sum of money. Send her down to live. Looking at Qiao Li's increasingly pale expression, Chen Feng smiled coldly: "Qiao Shilang, this man should really put aside his own blood and bones!" You say, isn't it? ”

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Qiao Li's head. Temporarily, he was speechless, and he was stunned for a long time before he calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "You can also be paid, or he can do other hard work."

Chen Feng's expression changed, and his voice suddenly became grim: "It's not just that! Her child was born seven years ago in the first month of the year. At that time, the filial piety of the Empress Dowager! Make friends in the era of national mourning. let the woman get pregnant, and then ruthlessly put aside her own blood and blood, and let their mother and daughter be left out. Once such a crime reaches heaven, this official will have to shed his skin if he does not die! ”

Qiao Li only felt that the sky was spinning, Venus was popping up in front of him, his legs were weak, and he sat on the chair dejectedly. Muttered, "Stop talking! Stop it! It's me! It's my fault! I'm guilty. It's all my sin! ”

"Hey, Qiao Shilang, that woman's unwavering mouth is your indifference. Make a big mistake. I'm just questioning. Who knew it was really you! How do you do such an ignorant thing! So what a good thing you can call me! Seeing that he recognized, Chen Feng's expression eased, and he sighed, as if he was the most melancholy.

"Grandpa Guo, the next day I will go up to the fold and ask for punishment!" Qiao Li gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Fengfu sighed: "In this way, your way out will be gone, and if you don't make a good one, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to save my life, so how can I bear it." ””

Qiao Li was stunned for a moment, casually investigating Chen Feng's demeanor, and a glimmer of hope was about to ignite in his heart: "Grandpa Guo." ”。 Can you let me go? ”

Chen Feng smiled slightly. Said: "Brother Qiao." I'll be honest with you, I can't get along with you. I have already broken the bullet to impeach you, why today! I have brought you today. Just to let you know that my heart is still toward you, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you to soothe that woman temporarily." "Guoxiao visiting the Qinglou is already a big crime, and sure enough, he still put aside his own blood and blood. Even more of a big scandal. Once the emperor knows, he will definitely be removed from office and questioned, and there is even the possibility of being killed! What is the purpose of Wu Guogong covering up such a thing for him? Qiao Li looked at the smile on Chen Feng's face, only to feel that the night sweats were already soaking through his back

Qiao Li hung his head and returned home depressed, and as soon as he got home, he was told that the old lady had sent someone to invite him, and he forced himself to muster up his energy. I changed into regular clothes and went to Shouantang.

The old lady was tired, leaning on the kang and resting with her eyes closed, Qiao Li walked in, she immediately opened her eyes and said, "I'm back." ”

"Yes, my son is back, I don't know what the old lady has to discuss with her son?"

"Today, Mrs. Zhou is here to speak for the Wuguo Mansion. Wan'er should be hired to Chen Jingrui. Li stared at him, word by word.

Qiao Li was slightly startled. Sitting in the chair, he couldn't say half a word, and when he thought of what Wu Guogong had done today, his heart suddenly beat a drum.

Li didn't want to see his difference, but continued: "Wan'er's marriage, we have also agreed, we have to choose carefully." Ordinary people will not choose, and the most woman is to marry the prince of the county, so that she is not wronged. Speaking of this, there seemed to be a hint of ridicule at the corner of her mouth: "The Wuguo Mansion is indeed a first-class princely family, and even the limelight of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion cannot be compared." It's just that our Wan'er is both beautiful and famous, and we may be able to have a better way out in the future. ”。” According to my intentions, there was no such haste to settle down. ”
