Xu Ranjia's face was a little pale, she stood up and pursed her lips, muttering, "I'm sorry." ”

Li Qingjin clenched his fists, took a deep breath secretly, and the corners of his lips overflowed with cold mockery, and he didn't know whether he was mocking the forbearance of the past or his extravagant hopes at the moment. "I don't want these three words, forget it, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Xu Ranjia blinked, what are you going to do? "I, I don't know."

"Huh?" He put down the book and walked to the table, pulled her to sit down, poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly, "You are still the only concubine of Mrs. Xu, and most of the students taught by Mrs. Xu can be called your mother's backing." You shouldn't be depressed. He wanted to say that he held her up, and that she should be as arbitrary and moderately insolent as she had been years ago.

"I, I can support you too."

Xu Ranjia chuckled, she raised her head and looked at Li Qingjin, who was still solemn, and her heart, which had been floating, fell heavily at this moment. After all, growing up together, she knows that as long as it is what he promised, she will definitely do it.

So she didn't continue to be hypocritical, her little face was slightly red, and her eyes were firm and whispered: "I just hope that I can find a husband who respects me like a guest, and then guard a courtyard to teach my husband and children." I don't need him to be handsome, or to be rich or rich, if he could," she said, "he will only treat me well, like a poor couple in the country, and help each other all his life." ”

Li Qingjin frowned, "Do you want to be separated from each other?" ”

"Yes, just like my father did to my mother, living in peace and happiness without anyone else's involvement," she nodded and smiled.

Li Qingjin opened his mouth, he wanted to ask if she was disheartened with that person and retreated to the next best thing, or did she really see through that person's hypocrisy? Although she does not have her father's support, as he said, there are a number of Xu Taifu's students behind her who are willing to help her in times of difficulty, and for this, there will be many people and even officials and ministers who are willing to recruit her into the family and marry her to her children and grandchildren.

It's just that how many of them are monogamous in aristocratic circles? It is just that the Zhuang family and the Pang family are among the clear streams, and they have suffered from many wives and concubines, and their ancestors specially set up family rules, and men can only take concubines when they are over forty years old and have no heirs. As for other families, there is really no guarantee that they will not be carried home by wives and concubines after marriage.

Zhuang Da and Da Da have wives, Zhuang Wuqiu will marry Pang Feixian, and the one who has not yet been married at the right age of the two families is Pang Er! The more I think about Li Qingjin, the more iron-blue his face becomes, Pang Er is his right-hand general, his appearance is handsome and his talent is no worse than his fists and feet, and he is also a good man in the platoon in Kyoto.

He asked firmly: "If you have a good character, you can not take a wife or concubine?" ”

Xu Ranjia was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said that the conditions were not high, but how many men could give up so much beauty for their wives at home? Did she go too far and give him a problem? Still, she stubbornly nodded.

"Whom?" Li Qingjin stared at her beautiful face again and asked.

"Yes," she said, looking up with starry eyes and a firm look in her eyes, believing that he would not pick on anyone.

"Okay, I got it." Li Qingjin responded lightly.

At this time, Pang Feixian and the others happened to come back, beckoning the people to set the meal, a group of people were familiar with the tight and there was no separate table for men and women, they sat down at will, but there was not much difference from the previous order, and they drove the people away, and they ate and drank while talking.

Pang Feixian's words came to an end, and she would continue to talk to Xu Ranjia about the scenery of Mobei, she didn't care about eating, Zhuang Wu smiled helplessly and held her with a smile, and knocked on her bowl to urge her to eat.

Pang Feixian muttered, disgusted with his mother-in-law, but the happy smile on her face that couldn't be hidden made Xu Ranjia look down at her dishes enviously.

Suddenly, a pair of dark chopsticks sandwiched two peeled shrimp into the white and moist bowl, and she looked up slightly.

Li Qingjin withdrew his chopsticks without changing his face, talked to Zhuang Da next to him, took a sip of wine, and didn't even give her a look, if it weren't for the shrimp shell next to him as a witness, Xu Ranjia thought that all this was an illusion.

She choked up and put a shrimp in her mouth, chewing it slowly, it had been her messing around and spending a lot of effort to provoke him to impatiently obey her. Perhaps, he also thinks she is pitiful now, right?

With the beginning, Li Qingjin ate what he ate and gave her a copy. The others saw that from a moment of silence at the beginning, to a blind eye later, their eyebrows and eyes were full of fun and encouragement for Li Qingjin.

After eating a meal, Xu Ranjia was able to eat, and she and Pang Feixian walked slowly around the yard hand in hand. After leaving, Pang Feixian dragged her to her own house and began to rummage through the good things she brought from Mobei.

Mobei is rich in furs and precious medicinal materials of the plateau, which are priceless in the mainland, but they are very casually exchanged for grain, silk, cloth and so on by the locals. Pang Feixian followed her father and brother there, and when she was idle every day, she wore women's clothes and took the guards to pick up the leaks.

"This is what I prepared for you, you are not allowed to shirk it, it is, it is the dowry I prepared for you in advance," just after speaking, the little girl stuck out her tongue in some annoyance, she really can't open which pot to mention.

"Then I'll thank you first," Xu Ranjia didn't shirk much, thinking about going back to embroider something for Pang Feixian, not to mention that the heart is heavy, just looking at the value will not make people laugh.

In the afternoon, the men were gone, and the two girls were left to disperse the people and play happily in the courtyard. It's like going back to the teenage years, becoming a crazy girl with nothing to worry about, laughing and jumping and jumping and chasing me.

At night, they slept in the same bed, talking quietly with their heads against their heads, although they hadn't seen each other for more than three years, there seemed to be no distance between them, and there were still endless words. In the dark, Xu Ranjia felt more secure in her heart, and many words in her heart seemed to be closed without a door at this time, and all of them bubbled up, like her friends.

Pang Feixian half-hugged her, comforted her in a low voice, her heart was distressed, she was about to get married, and she also hoped that Xu Ranjia could get a love that could give her life, but some things couldn't be forced, everyone had their own creation. She was secretly anxious for the sixteenth master in her heart, and raised the woman she liked, but she watched people fly, and she swallowed the bitter fruit to go to the frontier to fight, and it was three years to go.

She thought that if the sixteenth master had the courage to march and fight, he would have hugged the beauty a long time ago.

When she got up the next day, Xu Ranjia's eyes were a little puffy, but her washed eyes had more bright colors, and the whole person had some reborn brilliance. In fact, she herself understands that it is because she has Li Qingjin to rely on her life's major events, and she will no longer be at the mercy of others like in her previous life, so she has lost so much gloom.

stayed in the Pang family for two days, and when Ran Fu and her aunt returned to her small courtyard, she looked at the blue sky and had some inexplicable expectations in her heart.

Xu Ranjia thought that Pang Feixian would get married in the autumn, although her temperament was a little lively, but her family education was strict, and she was able to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at her fingertips. But Pang Feixian is not, she is a girl with good kung fu, but she is not sensitive to the female red chef's skills. I'm afraid that the dowry is prepared for her by the family, and she is asked to embroider a few times with a needle.

The Zhuang family is a family of military generals, although they have suffered the same as the Pang family, and they almost broke off their heirs, so the ancestors had the family rule that only those who have no children at the age of forty can take concubines. It's just that Mrs. Zhuang and Mother Zhuang are capable of giving birth, and they are both male babies, so the comparison between the concubines in the family is not small.

Fortunately, Zhuang Wu is a capable person, and he has made great achievements, and he does not need the shadow of his family, which gives Pang Feixian enough confidence. And in the future, they may stay in Mobei all the time, occasionally returning to Beijing to report on their work.

Xu Ranjia felt a little melancholy in her heart, so she could only work the gift to Pang Feixian. She is going to embroider a pair of screens, two pairs of kang screens, a pair of hanging paintings of Guanyin, several sets of scripture embroidery, a dozen fans, and a dozen brocade fans. The big ones were left in the house, and the small ones were the gifts that Pang Feixian gave back when she met her in-laws the next day to recognize her uncle and concubine.

There were a lot of things, so she directly picked up the pen and made a list for Orange and Ziyi to buy for herself. That afternoon, she sat under the window and got to work.

"Master, master," Orange ran in in a panic, with surprise in his eyes, "Quick, change your clothes, there is a holy decree!" ”

Xu Ranjia was so noisy that her fingers were pricked by needles, and she hurriedly put down the embroidery shed, for fear that the blood on her fingers would stain the embroidery red. She fingered and asked vaguely and suspiciously, "For me?" There was a vague suspicion in her heart, Li Qingjin was afraid that she had found her in-law's house, but did she need to trouble to ask for a letter?

Maybe Li Qingjin feels that with the pressure of the holy decree, she can have confidence in her in-law's family, right?

"Well, the housekeeper said that the person who came from the palace was the chief manager of the emperor's side, and he personally asked the master to take the order." Orange said and panted, and directly began to take out the green skirt and the blue magnolia flower head face that he had just purchased, and pulled Xu Ranjia to dress up meticulously.

It's been seven or eight days since she came back from the Pang family, Xu Ranjia's face is getting better and better day by day, and without powder, it's already a national color, and the orange still habitually smeared pink lipstick on her, and gently glanced at her eyebrows, which made this brilliance win by three points.

The master and servant hurried to the main courtyard, the masters of the Ran family had already arrived, she saw the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat without a white face, shook her head slightly, chuckled and stepped forward to bow and said: "Xu Ranjia to Ming Gong to say goodbye, you are blessed." ”

"I can't help it," after receiving half a salute, Ming Gong couldn't sit still and quickly got up to support her personally, squinted at Xu Ranjia with a smile, nodded and sighed: "It's been more than three years, and your girl has become more and more beautiful, no wonder she has been remembered for a long time." ”

Xu Ranjia's face was a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips and smiled and didn't answer.

Ming Gong coughed lightly, waved the dust on his body, and cleaned his hands before picking up the holy decree and shouting: "Xu Ranjia, the daughter of Mrs. Xu, receives the decree!" ”
