Chapter 60: Coercion and Inducement
"How? Have you heard any news about the prince? ”
As soon as she saw Gu's mother's sneaky figure coming back, Bai Yueyu was busy asking. Gu's mother went out like a thief, and she almost couldn't come back, and her tone of voice was also very rushed.
"What can you find out? As soon as I entered the city, I saw a portrait of the old slave and the young lady on the wall, saying that the old slave helped the young lady steal the family's belongings and eloped with someone. If I hadn't reacted quickly and pretended to be stupid, I might have been sent to the government. ”
Bai Yueyu had already thought that the Qi family would find her trouble before doing that, so she had been hiding in this house these days and didn't dare to show up. Not to mention how to face the people of the Bai family, when she thought of the three generations of military generals of the Qi family, who must be fierce and vicious, Bai Yueyu couldn't help but shudder.
She hurriedly pulled Gu's mother's arm and asked, "Then haven't you seen the prince?" ”
Although Bai Yueyu had expected the current result before doing things, Ke Xin, who stayed in the mansion, didn't know anything. At that time, she thought that as long as she did something for Ji Sihong, she would be able to avoid entering the palace of Jianwang, and she would not have to be afraid of the Bai family.
But he didn't want to disappear since Ji Sihong and his guards took her away that day, so he simply left her in this house and ignored her. She and Gu's mother hid here for a few days, and when they saw that the rice and grain in the kitchen were all eaten, they took the risk of letting Gu's mother go out.
Mentioning this, the ancient mother was even more angry, and said: "The slave maid patted the white door in front of the palace but was blasted out, and the porter said that the prince has a lot of opportunities to take care of Miss Bai and Miss Hei, in my opinion, the prince is going to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”
The worst plan in her heart was confirmed, Bai Yueyu's body was weak and almost collapsed on the ground, and she was busy holding on to the table before she stood firmly. Gu's mother pursed her lips and didn't help her, she inadvertently pulled up her cuffs, walked to the kitchen with the rice and vegetables in her hand, and muttered: "According to the old slave, Miss is still Mo Yan's daydream of wanting to enter the palace again, you clean up and see how many days we can live." The wind outside was tight, and the old slave didn't even dare to buy meat, but only bought some rice and vegetables, which was enough for us to eat for seven or eight days......"
Bai Yueyu was at a loss in her heart, she didn't know that Ji Sihong was busy with Zhang Xianli's stabbing out of the past, so she naturally had no time to take care of her.
Right now, even if Ji Sihong thinks of her, I'm afraid that he is mostly annoyed. On that day, he was stumped by Zhang Xianli's incident, and instead let Qi Simin be rescued by the crown prince, and the people who stayed in Wangyue Tower were also beaten by the Qi family and thrown in front of the palace in one breath.
In the end, this painstaking calculation turned out to be stealing chickens and rice, and if she couldn't win over her in-laws of the Qi family, she had a grudge, and at this moment she was angry with Bai Yueyu, where would she approach the house to be suspicious.
Bai Yueyu cried for an afternoon, hungry, the two of them had run out of food since yesterday, and at this moment, she couldn't care about this vegetarian dish that she couldn't look down on before, so she couldn't help but eat two big bowls before she felt steady. Gu's mother was pulling the rice in the bowl and didn't eat the vegetables, her eyes were dripping and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Bai Yueyu ate and thought about the fact that she was also a jade food when her little mother was in the past, but now she is living such a miserable life, and she can't help but feel sad tears from it. After crying for a while, she fell asleep in a groggy mind, and it was a rare good night's dream, and she slept until three poles in the sun before waking up leisurely.
The silence in this house was terrible, Bai Yueyu only felt a terrible headache and a dry mouth after waking up, but she didn't see anyone come to hand over water even after calling a few "Gu Mama".
While secretly scolding Gu's mother in her heart, she had to get out of bed and prepare to drink water first, but suddenly found that the partition at the head of the bed had been opened, and the wooden box containing the silver ticket jewelry was missing!
Bai Yueyu was shocked, and she turned the bed over without giving up, and she got out of bed in a panic and couldn't even wear shoes, looking for the figure of the ancient mother like a madman, and finally sat on the ground with a dead face.
Gu's mother was originally a person who knew the times, and she thought that when the Zhao family died, she knew that she couldn't please anyone if she stayed in the Bai family, so she was ready to leave, but she was lured by Bai Yueyu to stay.
Later, he took the risk of daring to deceive Qi Simin, but he also had the calculation of entering the palace with Bai Yueyu and ascending to heaven, and he didn't want to fall into this field now. Seeing that she was going to be affected by Bai Yueyu, where would she be willing, she was naturally busy smearing oil on the soles of her feet, and did not forget to take advantage of the fire to rob before leaving.
Bai Yueyu is really desperate now, the wooden box that Su Ri is guarding is all her savings over the years, and the broken silver is handed over to Gu's mother to make a living. Now Gu's mother's trick has actually looted her, seeing that Ji Sihong is untrustworthy and has left herself behind, what should she do when the little rice and grain at home is eaten?
The Qi family and the Bai family searched for Bai Yueyu and Gu's mother everywhere, and the Zhang family was summoned into the palace by the queen mother, and sat for a long time before being sent back before the curfew.
The old and young in the family were waiting for the letter in the flower hall, and Qi Simin was no exception, but after hearing Zhang's seat, he looked at everyone, his eyes fell on his daughter, and he sighed and said: "The queen mother intends to marry Simin and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and Qi Simin jumped up one by one: "I don't marry!" ”
The grandmother of the head, Xu Shi, also sighed and asked, "Did the queen mother mention the events of that day?" ”
Zhang's expression was complicated, and he nodded: "Yes, the queen mother said that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eager to save people's hearts that day, he acted recklessly and ruined Simin's reputation, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to mention this matter and asked the queen mother to call the shots." ”
Qi Simin bit her lip, her face showing a little shame.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eager to save people's hearts, even if it is ...... It doesn't matter, you don't have to be responsible. Anyway, I'm not going to marry him anyway! ”
After that, he turned around and ran away, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Qi Zhangan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Simin is a child's heart, where can I see the trick in this, but now I am in this turmoil, I am afraid that it will be ......"
Zhang couldn't help but reddened his eyes, and said sadly: "Simin is pure-minded and not good at scheming, I am afraid that she will suffer a loss if she marries her in-law's family in the future, so I have delayed it until now, but I don't want to harm her." It is said that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is like the sea is deep, and if Simin marries into the prince's mansion, there will be no bones left to be calculated. ”
The hall was silent for a while, and after a while, the old man Qi Changping slowly spoke: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Simin is the daughter of our Qi family, no matter who she marries in the future, with the protection of our Qi family, she will never be made to suffer! ”
After Qi Simin returned to the room, he kept pacing back and forth, like fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down. The girl was dizzy from her joy, and couldn't help but speak: "Miss, stop and rest, you can't change anything even if you go on for a day, it's better to save some energy, maybe the old man and the old lady have a way?" ”
Qi Simin knocked his head in remorse, and muttered: "I would have read more books if I had known, if I could be as smart as my cousin Yanran, I would definitely be able to come up with a way." ”
Joy thought to herself that whether this smart person was smart or not could not be decided by reading more books, but it was difficult to say it when she saw that Miss was so anxious, so she had to say, "Then why don't you ask Miss Biao tomorrow?" ”
Qi Simin's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said: "Yanran is already annoyed by the marriage and rumors in Beijing now, I still don't want to worry her anymore, I still have to figure out how to do it myself." ”
Joy blinked and said, "What did the young lady come up with?" ”
Qi Simin finally stopped, his eyes were resolute, his right hand was fisted into a fist and hit his left palm, and he said word by word in a deep voice: "Coercion, coercion, profit, temptation." ”
The next morning, the sky was bright, and the little maid who was guarding the back door of the Qi Mansion was rubbing his eyes and opening the back door, when he heard a joyful voice behind him: "Alas, you, yes, it's you." Yesterday, Miss's hairpin was thrown around here, and Miss is losing her temper at this time, so come and help me find it. ”
When the little guy heard that it was Miss's business, how dare he delay, and he was busy helping to find the hairpin that didn't exist.
Taking advantage of the time when he lowered his head, Xile quietly gestured at Qi Simin behind his back, hiding in the corner, Qi Simin tiptoed to the back door with a big burden on his back, quietly opened the back door and ran out secretly.
The little guy seemed to hear the sound of the door closing, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look, but was reprimanded by joy, so he had to continue to bury his head in searching. Joy quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart he didn't have much hope that his young lady would go.
Besides, Qi Simin sneaked out of the house, so he ran to the prince's mansion to see Ji Chengyu. But I don't want her to change into a happy girl's clothes in order not to attract attention, and she has a lot of baggage on her back, but it looks very weird, how can the porter let her in.
Qi Simin was entangled with the porter for a long time, and finally caught up with Xu Quan to come out, so he brought her in. Xu Quan knew that Ji Chengyu valued Qi Simin, but he didn't dare to take Qiao, so he took the person directly to the door of the study and went in to report.
At that time, the red kite was reporting to Ji Chengyu about the investigation, but when he saw that the master heard Qi Simin's visit, he was stunned at first, and then he showed a faint smile on his face. A touch of panic flashed inexplicably in Hongluan's heart, and he was unwilling to be waved back, but he didn't dare to be different. When she went out, she happened to pass by Qi Simin who came in, and she looked at the woman who was not outstanding in her qualifications, but she didn't even have a position to question.
After Qi Simin was invited in, Xu Quan also withdrew, and only Qi Simin and Ji Chengyu were left in the study. Qi Simin seemed to remember to be restrained at this time, and after a salute, he was let to sit aside and watch the tea, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Chengyu's expression for a while.
Ji Chengyu was not unfamiliar with her, and asked with a very natural and familiar expression: "The summer is in full swing, why are you here?" ”
Qi Simin swallowed his saliva and said dryly, "I'm here to find you." ”
What is Qi Simin here for? Naturally, it's to coerce and lure!
