Body No. 389: The Old Place

Wu'er's impression of Xichangbo Mansion is too bad, even if she knows that now she follows Yi'er back, absolutely no one dares to bully her anymore, but she is still a little reluctant to go back, Yi'er is naturally from her, to Zhu'er, quite eager to try, this girl was sold from Xichangbo Mansion, I am afraid that there will inevitably be some resentment in my heart, Yi'er thought that today is over, I want to find Jiang Mingyu to confirm some things, if the matter is stiff, but it is a mistake, so I thought about it, so I didn't bring Zhu'er, The matter of personal waiting let Yingu and Siniang follow.

When I arrived at Xichangbo Mansion and voted for a famous post, how dare the porter slack off? On the one hand, people hurriedly went in to report, and on the other hand, Yi'er's carriage was directly connected to the embroidered porch pillar outside the hanging flower door, and Yi'er got off the car, and greeted a well-dressed grandmother early, and respectfully introduced Yi'er into the side hall to serve tea.

Jiang Shuqing, the son of Xichang in the past, has officially inherited the title after the old Xichang Bo has returned to the West. It's just that Jue is admitted, but the fatigue of Xichang Bofu is still the same as in the old days, and the huge Bofu doesn't know when it has been unable to make ends meet, and now, it is just supporting an empty shelf. And Jiang Shuqing, the new heir, wanted to take the official road, but he couldn't find an opportunity, he couldn't pave the doorway, and he couldn't look down on those official officials, so he stumbled down like this, and he was idle in the house for several years.

Coming in all the way just now, although Yi'er was sitting in the carriage, she obviously felt that there were a lot fewer maids on the road than when she was still in Bofu, and she knew it in her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Before they had a few sips of tea, Jiang Shuqing and Yi hurriedly rushed over. After a salute, Yi'er was even more in a trance, she was just the most inconspicuous lowly girl in this uncle's mansion, but now when she came back, even Jiang Shuqing had to bow to her respectfully.

Whether it was Jiang Shuqing or the Yi family, they were obviously a little flustered about Yi'er's sudden arrival, they knew that Yi'er didn't have the slightest good impression of his Xichang Bo Mansion, for fear that now this noble lady with extraordinary gold would find their mistakes and settle the old accounts with them.

After saluting, Yi said cautiously: "The princess is here, it is really our uncle's mansion is shining, my lord and I are afraid that the subordinates do not know the etiquette, there are places of negligence and negligence, and I hope that the princess will have a lot of sea and water." ”

Yi'er said: "Madame is serious, Wan Ming came uninvited this time, it was rude, and I still look at the uncle and Mrs. Don't be weird." ”

Yi'er said this politely, Jiang Shuqing and Yi Shi both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time felt a little flattered, Jiang Shuqing said: "What did the princess say?" The princess of the world is such a distinguished guest, on weekdays can not ask for it, today the princess can step on the cheap land, I Xichangbo Mansion, there are honors. ”

Yi'er didn't want to go around in circles with them, so she said: "Actually, Wan Ming came over today, and she wanted to find the seventh lady in the house because she had something." ”

Jiang Shuqing was stunned, Yi Shi was also frightened, she knew her own daughter's temperament best, for fear that something would offend Yi'er because she didn't know what was important, so she immediately asked: "Mingyu's girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child, she is reckless, and she doesn't think about it, I don't know if she is ...... again."

Yi'er said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, I'm here to find Miss Seven, but I want to ask Miss Seven for verification, and I don't mean anything else." ”

Jiang Shuqing and Yi Shi were relieved.

Jiang Mingyu was called out, and to Yi'er's surprise, this person didn't play with her eldest lady's temper this time, and saluted Yi'er in a proper manner.

When Yi Shi and the others all left the house, and only Yi'er and Jiang Mingyu were left in the house, the seventh lady of the Bofu looked at Yi'er, bit her lip, and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Yi'er knew that this person had always been very resentful of her, and she didn't care about her attitude before and after, and said: "I know that your parents have been talking about a family affair for you recently, although the Yunyang Hou Mansion has been compared to the beginning over the years, it is no longer the same, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in the Laiyang area, the Yunyang Hou Mansion is also considered a top family." If Miss Seven marries Laiyang, it can be regarded as the right person, the most important thing is that although Yunyang Hou has already handed over the military power over the years, his prestige in the army is there, and he wants to speak for Uncle Jiang in the army, and Uncle Jiang's career in the army in the future will be smooth sailing and unlimited. It's a pity that the only fly in the ointment is that I heard that the son of the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion who is of the right age to marry now has only one sixth young master, and it is this sixth young master that Uncle Jiang discussed for the seventh young lady. ”

Jiang Mingyu's face was a little ugly, and he said, "What do you want?" ”

Yi'er shook her head and said, "Laiyang is located in a border town, it has always been very hot, and the wind and sand are extremely heavy, I heard that even if the women there wear more foundation, the skin is as black as pot coal, and it can crack when it dries......"

"I won't get married, don't talk about it."

Yi'er smiled and said, "Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Miss Seven thinks that in this matter, the uncle and the lady will follow your opinion?" ”

Jiang Mingyu snorted and said, "My mother hurts me the most, as long as I insist on it, she won't force me." ”

Yi'er said: "Since Miss Seven is so determined, why didn't she go to Madame, and put out these things earlier, and the two families are still in contact with each other, and it is almost to the point of talking about marriage?" ”

"You ......"

Yi'er sneered and said, "I think your mother really has a bit of mother-daughter affection for you, and she doesn't want to marry you to such a remote and barren place to suffer, but what about your father, Uncle Jiang?" If he would have remembered the deep father-daughter relationship, he would not have forced the girl to marry an old man who was about to sink half of his body into the ground. ”

"You don't take that cheap ...... Compare her to me, what kind of identity is she, but she was born and raised in the outer room......"

Yi'er said in a deep voice: "What about the births and bred in the outer room? Isn't it Uncle Jiang's own flesh and blood? In his eyes, what is the difference between what is born and raised in the outer room, what is the concubine, where is the half-point difference? It depends on whether this person can contribute to his career and whether it is of tangible benefit to him. You calm down and think about it, if the Marquis of Yunyang promised to recommend Uncle Jiang to serve in the army, would he do his best to promote this marriage despite the opposition of your own daughter? ”

Jiang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, speechless, in fact, she had asked herself this question many times, although she was extremely reluctant to admit it in her heart, but deep down, she clearly understood that the answer to this matter could not be more obvious.

Yi'er knew Jiang Mingyu's pain, and immediately continued: "Oh, by the way, there is one thing I don't know you know? The sixth young master of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, last year, he was careless on horseback and fell off the horse, although he saved his life, but he broke his legs, I heard that the doctor had made an assertion, saying that he would not be able to stand up for the rest of his life. ”

"What did you say?" Jiang Mingyu was shocked by Yi'er's words, and broke out in a cold sweat, and said sharply, "Impossible, my mother never told me that there is such a thing......"

Yi'er looked at Jiang Mingyu coldly and didn't argue.

Jiang Mingyu thought for a moment, and finally hung his head down, yes, if the sixth young master of the Yunyang Hou Mansion didn't have any defects, how could the Yunyang Hou Mansion take a fancy to their Xichang Bo Mansion's dilapidated lintel in Beijing? What's more, this kind of thing, Yi'er won't, and there's no need to say this panic in front of her!

"You didn't just come here to see my jokes, did you? What exactly do you want to do? ”

Yi'er smiled and said, "To be honest, Miss Seven thinks that with my current status, I will be so bored that I come to see your jokes?" I'm here today just to make a deal with you. ”

"Deal?"

Yi'er said: "I know that Miss Seven has always been obsessed with the Prince of Dongsheng Hou, but Tan Shizi has already been married, and he is still a group of wives and concubines, and if Miss Seven wants to marry and be a concubine, I am afraid that Miss Seven is unwilling." It's just that even though the Yunyang Hou Mansion is powerful, Laiyang is a poor and remote place after all, not to mention that the sixth young master of the Hou Mansion is in such a situation, I think Miss Seven is even more reluctant to marry Laiyang, but if Uncle Jiang doesn't let go, whether Miss Seven is willing or not, this long-distance marriage is imperative. The bargaining chip for the deal I want to make with Miss Seven is this, I can make Uncle Jiang change his mind and cancel the matter of marrying the Marquis of Yunyang. ”

Jiang Mingyu's eyes widened, obviously a little moved, and blurted out, "How can you make your father change his mind?" ”

Yi'er said: "Uncle Jiang wants to promote this matter, just because he thinks that Yunyang Hou can provide beneficial help for his future career, but if it comes to this, does Miss Seven think that he Yunyang Hou Mansion is powerful or my Ningguo Mansion is slightly better?" ”

Jiang Mingyu's eyes flashed with joy, gritted his teeth, and did not speak.

Yi'er then said: "In addition, the seventh miss of the Dongsheng Hou Shizi will no longer have any illusions, then in this land of Gyeonggi, the son of the family who has not yet agreed to marry, if the seventh miss has a favorite candidate, I can also pull the root line for you and build a bridge." Of course, this marriage is about your love and my wishes, and I can't guarantee anything for you, everything depends on your creation. ”

"Why are you helping me?"

Yi'er smiled: "I said it, this is a transaction, I will contribute to your heart, naturally, I also hope that Miss Fourth can respond." ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, I just want to know, when you conspired with Du Jinyao to retrieve the fake Du Feikite from Baihualou, there should have been a young lady from your family involved in this matter, she ...... Who is it? ”
