Chapter 588: Habitual pretense
Jiang Baoqing poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile: "What I heard is a little different from what the old lady heard. ”
Old Madam Zhai looked at her suspiciously: "What did you hear?" ”
Jiang Baoqing took a sip of tea and sighed: "I heard that there is a family in the capital, and on the second day after marriage, the mother-in-law is going to take a concubine for her son and force her daughter-in-law to death!" ”
Old Madam Zhai glared at Jiang Baoqing angrily: "What do you mean by this?!" ”
Jiang Baoqing blew the tea leaves floating on the teacup, and said with a faint smile: "Old lady, I don't mean anything." Don't get me wrong. ”
Second Mrs. Wen saw that Old Madam Zhai couldn't get half of the benefits at all in Jiang Baoqing, so she hurriedly came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be partial to Ji'er's little couple, but you also feel sorry for Wan'er." ”
Old Madam Zhai was stunned, since the last time Gong Ji threatened to throw Gong Wan to feed the dogs, Gong Wan has not set foot in this Ci Anju for some time. Old Madam Zhai was only a child, and was frightened by the words of the palace plan.
In fact, it does have something to do with the palace plan.
But the biggest reason is that news came out from the royal family again, saying that an election will be held in the autumn to select concubines for the prince and the clan.
Second Mrs. Wen felt that the opportunity had come, and forced Gong Wan to learn things from the grandmother who came out of the palace.
Gong Wan tried her best every day, and her whole body resisted going to the palace.
"What's wrong with Wan'er?" Old Madam Zhai said a little anxiously, "But you're sick?" ”
Second Lady Wen sighed and didn't speak.
Jiang Baoqing said very interestingly: "Why don't you talk to the old lady second aunt, and I will retreat first?" ”
Second Mrs. Wen said: "Baoqing, you are her sister-in-law, it's good to give some reference." ”
No, not good.
Jiang Baoqing instinctively wanted to refuse, but Second Mrs. Wen didn't give Jiang Baoqing a chance to leave, and said to Old Madam Zhai: "...... Didn't there be news a few days ago that it would be selected for a while? I asked the grandmother from the palace to teach Wan'er. As a result, Wan'er and I had a big fight over this matter, and I asked many times before she vaguely confided that she liked a man. ”
Old Madam Zhai was a little shocked: "Who?!" ”
Jiang Baoqing was thinking: "Don't be my brother." ”
As a result, Second Mrs. Wen was half worried, and half sighed and said the person's name: "That girl, say that he is Pei Yuze." ”
"......" Jiang Baoqing had nothing to say, she could only say that Gong Wan was very courageous.
The courageous Gong Wan confessed to her loving mother, hoping that with the help of the family's strength, she could tie the knot with her favorite Pei Yuze.
"Very thoughtful." Jiang Baoqing silently praised Gong Wan in his heart.
Old Madam Zhai was stunned: "...... This is called Pei Yuze, which family is the descendant? ”
Second Mrs. Wen carefully popularized science for Mrs. Zhai.
This is the first time Jiang Baoqing has heard of this, and it is related to Senior Brother Pei, so he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Just one point, Senior Brother Pei doesn't seem to be interesting to Gong Wan.
Anyway, she didn't show any signs.
Second Mrs. Wen also suspected that Pei Yuze didn't like Gong Wan.
The messengers sent by Second Lady Wen to inquire about the news were all called back by Pei Yuze.
Old Madam Zhai was a little unhappy when she heard this: "Our girl likes him, and he hurries over to propose marriage in a panic." He said to Second Mrs. Wen again, "It's just a civilian, why should we choose which one Wan'er wants, I'll pick a better one for Wan'er when I go back!" ”
Second Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "The old lady is out of the horse, then I will rest assured." The person chosen by the old lady is very reliable. ”
Old Madam Zhai was so happy that she didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Baoqing anymore, thinking about which old sister's grandson could get married.
Jiang Baoqing took his leave.
Who would have thought that Second Lady Wen also hurriedly came out after her.
Second Mrs. Wen looked Jiang Baoqing up and down, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ji Daughter-in-law is really doing well this trip." ”
Jiang Baoqing said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Second Mrs. Wen said softly: "It's not good to say it to the old lady, daughter-in-law, I heard that your brother and that famous Pei Yuze in the capital are senior brothers?" I wonder if you can recommend me? ”
Jiang Baoqing glanced at Second Mrs. Wen in some surprise, and then simply rejected her neatly: "No, Second Aunt should find another way." As she spoke, she blessed her body, "I'm tired of traveling, so I'll go back to rest first." ”
Second Lady Wen looked at Jiang Baoqing's departing back and smiled coldly.
In the evening, the palace plan already knew that Jiang Baoqing had returned to the palace house and went directly back to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion. Jiang Baoqing greeted him and helped Gong Ji take off his coat.
Gong Ji said: "When you come back this time, will the family make it difficult for you?" ”
Jiang Baoqing smiled and shook his head: "It's just that the old lady called me over and said something unusual, but it's nothing." ”
Gong Ji twisted his brows slightly: "You don't have to worry about her." ”
"However, there is another thing to say," Jiang Baoqing changed the subject, "I just found out today, it turns out that Gong Wan fell in love with Senior Brother Pei, and the second lady also wanted me to help tie the string and build the bridge, but I refused." ”
Jiang Baoqing mentioned Pei Yuze, Gong Ji's movements paused slightly, and he looked at Jiang Baoqing fixedly.
Jiang Baoqing was still sighing there: "...... I didn't expect Gong Wan to have a bad brain, but her vision was okay. ”
The air pressure of Gong Ji is getting lower and lower.
Jiang Baoqing realized that something was not quite right, she looked at Gong Ji with a slightly dark face blankly, and blinked.
Gong Ji pinched Jiang Baoqing's small chin: "Don't mention that Pei Yuze." ”
Jiang Baoqing: ???
Gong Ji looked at Jiang Baoqing's blank appearance, and became more and more annoyed: "You don't know that he likes you?" ”
Jiang Baoqing let out an "oh", and suddenly said: "It turns out that you are talking about this matter." She stared at Gong Ji with some joy, "It turns out that you are jealous." ”
Gong Ji smiled fiercely, and approached with his teeth and claws: "I see that I am too busy these days to repair you, and you have forgotten my strength?" ”
Jiang Baoqing giggled and ran away: "Hey, don't mess with you, let's get down to business,"
Gong Ji had a faint pity in his heart.
His wife is a good learner, and if something is wrong, she will run.
"I always feel that something is not right," Jiang Baoqing said, "Although Senior Brother Pei is a talent, he is rich and has five cars, and his character is also ......" Jiang Baoqing just described a few words, and saw that Gong Ji's face was obviously darkened, so he stopped and changed directions, "That's it, Senior Brother Pei has no intention of officialdom, or is he white?" Some people in your family, who are open-mouthed commoners and close-mouthed wealthy families, can let Gong Wan marry over? ”
It's not that Jiang Baoqing thinks of Pei Yuze's family, it's really that she thinks about it from the perspective of some people in the palace family, it's really a little weird.
Gong Ji sneered: "Wen's is the best at pretending to be like on weekdays, you see what she said to you, please ask you to match, you refuse, turn around and tell her daughter that she has done her best, and then push the problem on your head." In front of the old lady, she was actually secretly reminding the old lady that if she had any good candidates there, she should also arrange it for Gong Wan. In this way, not only can you maintain face, but also get the actual benefits. That Pei Yuze is just a stone she thrown. ”
Jiang Baoqing was stunned for a moment, and his mood was very complicated: "This Wen is so good at being a person? ”
"So, where do you think her good reputation in the capital comes from?" Gong Ji * said, "It's just a habit of pretending." ”
