Chapter 375: Temptation
Jiang You held the scroll in his hand, looked up at Qi Zi when he heard the sound, and saw that she had already posed, and the two little girls were silent, dutifully pinching her shoulders and rubbing her legs, and couldn't help frowning.
He was looking for her for business.
Where is it to see how she enjoys life?
A cool breeze hit the open door, and Jiang You couldn't help but clench his hands into fists and cough against his mouth.
Hearing his cough, Qi Zihuan's face changed slightly, his eyes moved to the maid who pinched his legs, and he seemed to smile and said: "Why are you so blind, the master of the horse is not in good health, the palace forgot to order, did you also forget to close the door?" ”
The maid was taken aback, and subconsciously knelt down to admit her mistake, and after Qi Zihuan waved her hand, she cautiously wanted to close the door.
Seeing this, without waiting for the maid to close the door, Jiang You coughed and said impatiently: "No, you go out first, remember to stay away, I have something to say to the princess." ”
The two maids looked at Qi Zihuan.
The latter curled his lips and smiled reservedly: "Didn't you hear the instructions of the master of the horses?" Don't go out quickly, what are you doing here? ”
Hearing this, the maids took advantage of the situation and left.
This time they learned to be obedient, and even if they were not instructed to do so, they raised their hands and closed the door before leaving.
Only the husband and wife were left in the house.
Jiang You fiddled with the jewelry on the dresser, and said to Qi Zihuan with disgust: "Your jewelry doesn't look very good." ”
After rolling his eyes, Qi Zihuan replied very bluntly: "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's worth it." ”
Although her dowry is few, most of them are high-quality products.
In addition to the savings of her mother over the years, there are also the rewards she has received during the New Year's holidays, as well as the part of the dowry that the princess marries and the internal affairs government will pay, which is extremely considerable.
The jewelry on the dresser was only a tenth of what she owned.
At this moment, hearing Jiang You belittle those things, Qi Zihuan not only didn't feel angry, but even had a feeling that it was really so.
After all, if he didn't belittle her jewelry, how could he bring out the special jewelry he bought?
At this moment, Jiang You said logically: "Come here, I bought you a hairpin and a box of hairpin flowers, come and see if it is suitable." ”
Hearing this, Qi Zihuan smiled more and more reservedly, and said without moving: "I've been tired all day, and I really don't want to move now, let's try again later." ”
has been married to Qi Zihuan for a year, and the two have almost been inseparable within this year, how can Jiang You not see Qi Zihuan's nature clearly?
Seeing that she obviously cared a lot, but pretended to be reserved and pretended not to care, Jiang You couldn't help but tear a smile at the corner of her mouth, not used to her bad temper: "The princess doesn't want to try, then I will reward the girl in the house, anyway, these little things are not as valuable as the jewelry of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Qi Zihuan squinted, knowing that Jiang You was joking, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of depression in his heart: "If anyone dares to accept your reward, this palace will chop off someone's hand." ”
"Doesn't the princess care?"
"Even if this palace doesn't care, it won't be the turn of others to covet it." After the words fell, Qi Zihuan turned over neatly from the beauty couch, and in front of the dresser where Lianbu came, he couldn't help but dislike Jiang You and said: "My jewelry is obviously the most popular style in Beijing, where is it not good-looking?" It's clear that you have a problem with your vision. ”
"I think so."
Jiang You glanced at his mouth, and inserted the Mulan hosta into Qi Zihuan's hair with his own hands, and took off the hairpin next to him during the movement.
"The color of this hairpin flower is a little old-fashioned, I bought you a new box, and the storage is better than this one."
With that, he opened the wooden box next to him.
A whole box of hairpins, colorful and colorful, Qi Zihuan couldn't help blinking.
Then, she 'fluttered' and smiled, poked Jiang You's eyebrows and said, "Look at what colors you picked, the color is so dark, too bright, is it suitable for a little girl of my age?" ”
"Little girl?" Jiang You reminded her: "Twelve, we have been married for a year, and you are over sixteen years old." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi Zihuan immediately glared at him unceremoniously.
Seeing this, Jiang You changed the topic from the goodness: "Okay, you said that the box I picked was not good-looking, and I also felt that the box you picked was not good-looking...... Where is your box of hairpins? ”
Qi Zihuan opened one of the drawers and took out the hairpin box: "These are much better than the ones you bought, they are all my mother's fine products for me, just take out one casually, they are all rare good things outside." ”
"Such a big box of ......" Jiang You gestured and expressed his surprise in a timely manner: "It was all given to you by the concubine?" ”
"Of course." Qi Zihuan cocked the corners of his mouth proudly, and said proudly: "Don't you notice that every time I enter the palace, I never come back empty-handed, and my mother either gives me hairpins or all kinds of jewelry." ”
When the words fell, Jiang You's face turned slightly pale, and he was speechless for a moment.
Qi Zihuan didn't notice that he was acting abnormally, and the finger that poked Jiang You's forehead turned to poke his chest, and he still said to himself:
"The mother concubine is afraid that I will be bullied by you in the princess's mansion, so I thought of Fa'er to supplement me, and by the way, I warned you to be good to me, but you didn't notice it at all, should I say that you are slow to react, or should I say that you are stupid?"
Speaking of this, Qi Zihuan couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Although the combination between her and Jiang You was an accident after her calculations, after a year of getting along, even if she had a pet, she had already developed feelings, not to mention that she was a living person day and night.
Her feelings for him had long since changed.
However, she couldn't see what kind of attitude he had.
It's good to say yes to her, it's really good.
But if you care about her more...... That's not easy to say.
Grabbing the jade hand on his chest, Jiang You smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that the mother concubine actually means this, I said that every time you go back to the house, you need one or two more things in the jewelry box." ”
"You found out?" Qi Zihuan looked at him suspiciously: "Could it be that he deliberately lied to fool me?" ”
Jiang You didn't answer and asked: "I need to tell this lie?" ”
Qi Zihuan thought about it and reluctantly believed it.
Seeing that she didn't realize anything wrong, Jiang You's feeling in his heart became more and more strange, and finally, he asked very casually, "When the mother concubine gave you these things, didn't she tell you anything?" ”
As he spoke, Jiang You's nerves slowly tensed.
Facing Qi Zihuan's clear eyes, he couldn't ask the doubts in his heart directly, so he could only knock on the side.
After all, the one in the harem is her mother.
He was so confused that he didn't know what role Qi Zihuan played in it, and he didn't know if she would try her best to cover up for Lian Ji when she learned the truth.
So, take your time.
Be cautious.
Qi Zihuan thought about it, and his memory was a little vague: "The mother concubine didn't say anything special, and I didn't remember well if I was asked to live a good life with you." ”
Jiang You was stunned, and looked at Qi Zihuan in front of him in a daze, and for some reason, the sense of oppression in his heart was loosened in vain.
It seems that she, like herself, knows nothing.
Jiang You lowered his eyelids and said with a smile: "You have so many things, and they are all valuable jewelry, why don't I see you tidying up more on weekdays?" ”
"As a royal princess, how can I do such a thing?" Qi Zihuan said proudly: "Command casually, naturally there are special slaves to do it." ”
Jiang You asked half-jokingly: "Aren't you afraid that someone's hands and feet are not clean, and one or two pieces are missing one or two in a certain day?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Qi Zihuan glanced at him and pointed to the things on the table: "These jewels are all registered, and there will be special people to check them every day, if there are really few, no one can escape, and they will definitely be punished." ”
Jiang You seemed to rack his brains and thought for a while: "Why don't I remember that there is such a capable person by your side?" ”
"You haven't even paid much attention to me, how can you still pay attention to others?"
"I remember, there are two first-class palace maids around you...... Is it spring picking, or is it summer support? ”
"It's Fuxia, Fuxia is careful, leave this matter to him and her, I don't worry."
As for Chuncai, although it is not bad, but she is very arrogant, and often pokes out all kinds of small baskets, if it weren't for the love they grew up together, she wouldn't have asked for this dowry girl.
Fortunately, Fuxia is capable, so it's nothing to help more.
Fuxia?
Jiang You narrowed his eyes.
He was a little impressed.
She's a girl who doesn't like to talk much.
Unexpectedly...... Is it her?
Jiang You endured the boy in his heart and smiled: "Speaking of which, I didn't see Chuncai and Fuxia today, and the people who pinched your shoulders and legs were two unfamiliar faces." ”
"Early this morning, I let them go out to collect the bills, I have a few shops under my name, and someone will fool me in the middle, and I will send them out once a month, when I am my ears and eyes."
Therefore, neither of them is in the princess's mansion.
Qi Zihuan only entered the palace the day before, and today the two of them left the palace......
It's a bit of a coincidence.
Jiang You didn't dare to ponder for too long, for fear of being seen abnormal, so he asked in disguise: "You entered the palace the day before yesterday, what did the concubine reward you?" ”
"I'll look for ...... later."
Qi Zihuan searched for a half in the jewelry box, and finally found a silver bracelet carved with a lantern-style pattern: "That's it, the mother said that the small lantern carved on it was quite novel, so she gave me to play with it." ”
"Why didn't you wear it today?"
Qi Zihuan glanced at him with disgust: "Today is the Camellia Party, all the ladies who come to Beijing have heads and faces, although this bracelet is novel in style, but it is not very valuable, if I take it out to meet people, wouldn't it be rude?" ”
It is said to be rude, but in fact, it is afraid that people will look down on it.
As a royal princess, Qi Zihuan has been proud since she was a child and never admits defeat.
Even if there is a stitch and a thread, it is all to be fought for.
In addition, her reputation was really not good in the past, and now she wants to save her reputation, so she naturally has to put a lot of effort into dressing, not to mention enviable, but it must not be underestimated.
