The four of them sat together in the gazebo. Although Zuo Shinian thought that Jing'an was rude, she couldn't resist Shi Qingqian's curiosity, so she had to agree to go together.

Jing'an was interrupted by Jiang Yuhua in the middle of eating, and she was so hungry at the moment that the fifth princess had to let her entourage bring pastries. Shi Qingqian and Jing'an looked at each other in unison, and swept away without the slightest politeness.

Jing'an happily talked to a few people about what she had seen and heard in the countryside, but the more specific and vivid she said, the more curious they were about why the general's only daughter had grown up in the countryside to be thirteen years old.

"Hey, after talking about it for so long, your background is still very strange." After a period of chatting, Zuo Shinian has made a great difference in her, and her free and easy temperament makes Zuo Shinian appreciate it very much.

Jing'an swallowed the last bite of the snack, thought for a moment, and finally made up her mind, and said, "Actually, I...... It's just a discarded plaything from my mother. ”

"What...... What do you mean? Shi Qingqian asked. Looking at the sadness on Jing'an's face, there was an indescribable distress in my heart.

"My father has fought on the battlefield all his life and made countless meritorious contributions, and my mother is bent on having a son in order to integrate my father's career. I just heard that my mother gave birth to my first child...... I can't get pregnant again for life because of dystocia," Jing'an sighed, and there was more relief in her tone, "She blamed me for everything and sent me to the village party on the outskirts of Beijing." ”

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian felt that he had crossed a stage and was born in such a happy family, completely ignoring the ancient concept of patriarchy, and sighed in his heart, and sympathized with Jing'an, "Then, what about your father, doesn't he care?" ”

Jing'an smiled, "My father guards the frontier and rarely returns to Beijing, even if he comes back, he will set off again in two or three days." Alas, but that's fine, I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp, my mother doesn't see me, and I don't have to worry about trying to deal with her, and I feel more comfortable living alone outside. ”

The fifth princess sighed on the side, "Thanks to your safe growth, the villagers are very vulgar, and you are not afraid of being bullied." ”

After hearing this, Jing'an put the quilt in his hand and sighed: "This is also thanks to my father's blessing, the blood in my body is naturally hot, and I will never be ambiguous when I fight people, but this countryside is really not as unbearable as the princess said, I also have a nurse attendant around me to serve, I don't have to do more rough work, there are few rules, and I am very comfortable." ”

"Poof, no wonder Sister Qi has to stand up for you," Zuo Shinian knew in his heart after hearing this, this Jing'an's style of acting is exactly the same as that naughty Shi Qingqian. "You two really attract people of the same sex."

She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Shi Qingqian fighting with others.

Shi Qingqian glanced at Zuo Shinian. When she saw Jing'an for the first time, she felt that she was walking with her clothes on her hand, and at first glance she was not a person who was used to wearing silk and satin.

"Later, my dad ...... Sacrifice, the emperor wants to reward the offspring, my mother only then remembered me," Jing'an sighed, "I became the county lord so inexplicably, my mother is good, she doesn't want to raise me, but she is willing to be the mother of the county lord, and now she is doing well." Even those subordinates in the county lord's mansion were all arrogant, and they got bored when they saw it......"

The fifth princess thought about it, and indeed remembered that she had seen a gorgeously dressed lady full of jewels at the palace banquet half a month ago, but at that time, she looked at such a person, and she didn't like it in her heart, and she didn't take her name to heart at all. Only then did I know that it was the mother of the newly appointed county lord, and her rank was much higher than that of the deputy general's wife.

The four of them chatted happily for a long time, Jing'an's true temperament was very lovely, and the rude impression left by people when they first met also disappeared at this time. It was difficult for the fifth princess to agree to teach etiquette, so she had to drag Jing'an, who was unwilling to be restrained, to the princess's mansion.

On the way home from school, Shi Qingqian told Shi Ke about today's events. Shi Ke had no choice but to sigh, deliberately blaming her for being nosy, but in fact, he was afraid that someone with a heart would harm her.

As soon as Shi Qingqian entered his courtyard, he saw Xue Ying secretly hiding aside. At first glance, she was sneaking from the Buddha hall, and she must have something to tell her.

"Ying'er, why are you here?" Shi Qingqian walked over quickly, and when he saw Xue Ying's anxious face, he asked, "But what did Shi Peng do?" ”

Xue Ying nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Miss, when Shi Peng was in the Buddha Hall today, Shi Shuning also went to ......."

"Shi Shuning?" Shi Qing frowned, Shi Shuning often interacted with Shi Peng these days, which really made her feel a little uneasy, "Do you have what they said?" ”

"I heard them talk about the silver needles hidden in their robes." Xue Ying paused and continued: "When Shi Shu Ning came, Shi Peng was so bored that she said that she was falling into a well at the moment, and said that if it wasn't for Shi Shu Ning to lure her into poisoning, she wouldn't have come here to recite Buddha and chant scriptures. ”

Xue Ying said, his face was embarrassed, "When Shi Peng spoke, her tone was unexpectedly calm, as if, as if she was really grateful to Shi Shuning, anyway, Shi Peng seemed to be a completely different person, and it was not like shouting in the past...... Miss, could it be that she really turned into a Buddha? ”

Shi Qingqian shook his head.

Shi Peng's temperament, since the day she was pushed into the water and drowned 'to death' at the age of three, she has been completely in her eyes. She has been a narrow-minded little woman since she was a child, this is nature, it is impossible to rely on reciting Buddhist scriptures for a month or two to turn into a woman with extraordinary bearing in one fell swoop.

She can be so forbearant now, and someone is definitely behind it.

"Shi Peng stays at home all day, so he shouldn't have much opportunity to contact others," Shi Qingqian took Xue Ying's hand, "Ying'er, I remember Shi Peng's aunt, the head of her mother's family is Nanting Imperial Doctor...... I have heard my father and mother complain, saying that this imperial doctor followed his father's political opinions in the early years, but in recent years, he has clinged to the prince's party and confronted his father everywhere in the court. ”

These words were also heard by chance, and she didn't take them to heart at the time, but at the moment, a thought involved a lot.

There are no male heirs in the family of the imperial doctor, and only the second aunt of the woman married into the Hou Mansion. Nanting is more than ten miles away from the capital, if they want to make a fortune, it is difficult to rely on an unfavored aunt, and they have recently attached themselves to the queen and the prince, maybe they will want Shi Peng to marry the prince.

If this is the case, then Shi Qingqian's existence must be an eyesore.

Xue Ying listened to it in a fog, she didn't understand these partisan disputes, but she also understood that there was someone behind Shi Peng to support her, "Miss, are you saying that the reason why Shi Peng changed sex was because of the idea of the second aunt's family?" ”

Seeing Shi Qingqian nodded, Xue Ying's heart became anxious, "What should I do, Miss is still young, how can she compete with that kind of traitor?" ”

"I don't care about Nanting's side, after all, their target is obvious, and it is impossible to attack me directly," Shi Qing frowned, "I'm just afraid...... Shi Peng, a pioneer chess piece, can reach into the Hou Mansion for one day, and Nanting's hand can reach into the Hou Mansion for one day. ”

"Then we'll find a way to demoralize her!" Xue Ying clenched his fists and looked high-spirited in his heart.

Shi Qingqian nodded, suddenly thought about it, and laughed unconsciously, "Shi Peng's matter will be put aside first, Ying'er, you find time to go out of the house and buy me something......"
