095 concubine
"Cousin Scarlet, you have been in Beijing for three years, can you know Feng Yan of the Eldest Princess Anping's Mansion?" Li Tingyou said tentatively. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā
Duanmu Fei also knew that Li Tingyou had seen Feng Yan when he was in Jiangcheng, and he suddenly heard this name from his mouth, but he felt caught off guard.
She really didn't want to have too much to do with Feng Yan, but she couldn't let Li Tingyou see the clues, let alone deny that she knew Feng Yan, so she nodded and said vaguely: "I heard my grandfather say that Feng Gongzi led his troops to Jiangcheng. ”
Now that Duanmu Fei knows about this, it's easy to do! Li Tingyou simply made a long story short, avoiding the problem of Jiang Cheng's empty salary, and only said that the emperor ignored Feng Yan's merits again and again, and then looked at Duanmu Fei with his black eyes open, and he looked like he was going to be a shopkeeper, and threw the problem directly to her.
At this moment, Duanmu Fei still missed the young man who proudly declared to her when they first met, "This matter has nothing to do with you".
Duanmu Fei took a sip of sweet osmanthus tea and said slowly: "Cousin You, do you think Feng Yan wants this credit?" ”
Duanmu's words came to an end, and he continued to drink the osmanthus tea in his hand.
Li Tingyou couldn't help but think about it, and at this time, he heard Bi Chan call not far away: "Four girls......"
Duanmu Fei followed the sound and saw a snow-blue shadow strolling towards this side, as if he was strolling leisurely, from the familiar figure, Duanmu Fei recognized it at a glance that it was Duanmu Qi.
Duanmuqi stopped under the flower gallery not far away, and after the maid beside her said a few words to her, she looked in the direction of the pavilion.
Duanmuqi smiled at the cousins and sisters in the pavilion, and walked towards them, her posture was so elegant, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
"It turned out that Cousin Yu was here." Duanmu Qi stepped forward and saluted Li Tingyoufu, with a pair of affectionate eyes overflowing, "I just happened to come here to enjoy the flowers for a walk, but I didn't expect the fourth sister and cousin You to also ...... here."
Of course, it is not a coincidence that Duanmu Qi will appear here, she heard the maid talk about Li Tingyou's visit, so she hurriedly came over to enjoy the flowers to "meet by chance".
She tried her best to make a "this is still a coincidence", but she didn't know that her acting skills were too shallow in the eyes of the cousins in front of her.
Li Tingyou's eyes swept over the sweat falling from the corners of Duanmuqi's forehead, on this hot day, if there was nothing going on, who would come to the garden to enjoy the flowers and take a walk in the afternoon when it was the hottest!
Although he thought so in his heart, his face was impassive, and he smiled as kindly as the sun, "Cousin Qi, don't come unharmed." ”
Just a word of hello made Duanmu Qi's heart bloom and smile like a flower.
Duanmujun came back from the flower hall and saw this scene, and called out with a detached attitude: "Second sister, are you looking for me something?" ”
Duanmuqi's smile stiffened slightly, and he immediately smiled casually, calmly repeating the excuse just now.
Duanmujun also guessed that this was just an excuse, but it didn't ruin Li Tingyou's interest, so he politely beckoned her to sit down.
Duanmujun just said it casually, and Duanmuqi really sat down, and from time to time found various topics to talk to the three of them, such as after Wisteria retrieved the lotus tea, he exclaimed, "It turns out that the fourth sister can make flower tea", and asked Duanmu Fei for advice on how to make flower tea, from Xia He and Qiu Gui to Dongmei and Spring Rose......
There is a lot of harmony in the gazebo, and it seems that the sisterhood is deep.
After sitting for another stick of incense, Li Tingyou got up to say goodbye, and Duanmu Jun instructed Mama Zhang to send him off.
Duanmuqi on the side unconsciously twisted the handkerchief in her hand, she wanted to stop talking, she wanted to keep Li Tingyou a few words, and wanted to ask him when he would come next time, but she was worried......
Thinking about it, she bit her lower lip and glanced at Duanmujun.
Li Tingyou comes so often, did he have any marriage contracts with Changfang in private......
"A few cousins and stay, so that they can take care of themselves."
After Li Tingyou said this, he left without looking back.
Only Duanmu Qi was left to watch the back of the young man leave stupidly, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and his thousands of words turned into a sigh in his heart.
Since Li Tingyou is gone, Duanmuqi is not interested in greeting the Duanmujun sisters again, and returns to Qingzhi Courtyard uneasily......
As soon as she entered the room, she casually handed the golden cinnamon in her hand to a girl in Tsing Yi, and while the girl in Tsing Yi took it, she whispered: "Girl, the second lady is waiting for you inside." ”
Duanmu Qi was stunned, and followed the girl in Tsing Yi to the east room next door.
Xiao He was sitting on the Luohan bed drinking tea, he had been waiting impatiently, and his brows were tightly pressed together.
Seeing that her daughter finally returned, she scolded her head with a scolding: "That's a relative of the long house, what are you going to make a fuss about!" You're thirteen years old, and you're about to talk about other people's girls, how can you get along with foreign men casually?! Sister Qi, my mother is for your good ......"
On this hot day, people are already easy to be irritable, and the more Xiao He talks about it, the more angry he becomes, and he has a taste of hating iron and not steel.
Xiao He talked endlessly, and when Duanmu Qi heard "talking about people", his heart moved, and he almost didn't listen to the rest of the words.
Bang bang bang!
Because of one of her own thoughts, her cheeks were dyed red, and her eyes were like rippling water.
"Mother," Duanmuqi suddenly interrupted Xiao He's and said awkwardly, "You say...... How is Li Sangongzi?! ”
What about Li Sangongzi?! Xiao He, who was foaming at the mouth, didn't react for a while, and after being stunned, he realized that his daughter was talking about her marriage.
She actually wanted to marry the Li family!
As soon as he thought of this thought, Xiao He was intuitively annoyed, and the words of reprimand came to his mouth at once, but he swallowed back before the words came out.
Wait a minute!
Xiao He squinted thoughtfully, thinking about it carefully, aside from the fact that the Li family is the uncle of the long house, this marriage seems to be good.
Duanmu Qi didn't notice Xiao He's expression, once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop like a flood bursting the embankment, and he chattered: "Mother, Cousin You was born in Jiangmen, has a good appearance, and is fourteen years old, and has made great military achievements, and he has the emperor's blue eyes, and he has been named the fourth general of the Shenshu Battalion." Look at this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are a few young and promising young men like Cousin You! ”
In Duanmu Qi's mouth, Li Tingyou is simply not bad.
Xiao He was also a little moved. Over the years, the Li family has made meritorious contributions to guarding Minzhou, and she is receiving holy favor, and she has also heard her mother-in-law mention that even if it is for the sake of the eldest prince, she should be friendly with the Li family, so that she should not neglect Li Tingyou. And this Li Tingyu is fourteen years old, and he has been awarded the title of fourth-grade military attaché, which can be described as a promising future.
Duanmuqi said and sat down next to Xiao He's side, affectionately held Xiao He's arm, and said shyly and worriedly: "Mother, I'm worried about whether Cousin You will be engaged to the eldest sister...... " As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, and her snow-white teeth were deep in the petal-like lips.
If Li Tingyou and Duanmujun have already made a marriage, then, then she and him can only be fated to have nothing to do.
Thinking about it, Duanmu Qi's mind couldn't help but think of the young man who was in a bright and beautiful way, but the other party turned around and went against him......
Her heart tightened.
Xiao He's eyes flashed slightly, and she was silent, she was sure that Duanmujun had never been engaged, but she did not rule out whether the Li family would want to kiss Changfang......
"Mother!" Duanmu Qi shook Xiao He's arm coquettishly, with a look of hope.
Children are debts of the last life! Xiao He sighed in his heart and said, "Sister Qi, this matter can't be rushed...... There is an eldest sister above you, you have to tell your eldest sister about the family affairs before it can be your turn......"
Duanmuqi's eyes suddenly brightened, and the implication of her mother's words was that Li Tingyou and Duanmujun were not married!
"Mother, you want to help your daughter!"
Duanmuqi's hopeful prayer echoed in the room, and in the blink of an eye, it was suppressed by the mournful sound of cicadas in the courtyard.
The cicada chirping in August is like its last cry, and it is hoarse and exhausted step by step......
However, the weather in the capital is still sweltering, like a huge furnace.
Since the Birthday Festival, Duanmu Xian will still call Duanmu Fei to his study every day, but it is no longer just for her homework, but also often tells her about some inconsequential court affairs, and of course he also has the intention of taking the school granddaughter in his heart.
"Today, there is a royal history to impeach my grandfather for his ineffective disaster relief, and he is responsible for the country's favor and public opinion. What do you think, four girls? ”
"The emperor issued an edict today to arrest the prince of the Marquis of Guanning, and reprimanded the Marquis of Guanning for 'indulging in the rebellious son and living up to the grace of the saint', and cut his title, and the Marquis of Guanning is the last generation......"
“……”
Duanmufei must answer every question, and the answers always make Duanmu Xian have unexpected surprises, and even some small things that he originally thought were insignificant, Duanmu Fei was able to find another way to wake up the person in his dream, which made Duanmu Xian's heart quite complicated and sighing, and he only felt that he was the most proud and regretful in his life was to have such a granddaughter.
If Duanmu Fei is a grandson, then the Duanmu family will definitely be able to go to the next level, and he can be regarded as a successor......
On the evening of August 12, Feng Yan led 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Xishan battalion back to Beijing.
