For several days, Jiang Cailing locked herself in her room and lowered her head to develop holy products.

After all, she used to make strange poisons, and now she wants to develop an aphrodisiac, and she can't help but habitually increase the dosage, which leads to the effect of the drug is indeed fast and long-lasting, but there are also side effects, the user will have a feeling of weakness in the limbs in a stick of incense, and if the yin and yang are not reconciled in time in a stick of incense, he will die violently.

When she found out that something was wrong, the first finished product had been developed, Jiang Cailing sighed in a low voice, "It is easy to go from good to evil, and it is difficult to go from evil to good", and just when she was about to destroy this failed product, there was a knock on the door, "Girl, you are ready to prepare, the master called you to the front hall, Gu Xiang, the patriarch, the eldest master and the sixth lady are also here!" ”

The eldest lord refers to He Minghai, He Xiangxiang ranks sixth among the female dependents of the He family, so he is called the sixth lady, and He Ling'er is the fifth miss of the He family for half a year.

"Gu Jiming?" Jiang Cailing's hand shook, the pill fell on her body, and she slid into the sachet following Jiang Cailing's action of standing up, she thought that the pill had fallen to the ground, leaned over to look for it, and after seeing no trace, she had to go to the front hall first.

Before going to the front hall, Jiang Cailing deliberately replaced the wooden hairpin she used to tie her hair with a gold wire-inlaid ruby double butterfly step shake given to her by her grandmother when she was a child.

In order to match this golden step, Jiang Cailing put on pure gold earrings and red gold rings, and deliberately selected a cinnamon green chest-length Ruijin skirt from the wardrobe, which was full of weirdness with golden light and oil green.

Jiang Cailing understands Gu Jiming, such a noble and arrogant person, she will never allow her future wife to be a woman who likes to wear gold and silver and has no aesthetics.

After everything was in order, Jiang Cailing left her yard, the autumn breeze was not dry, the forest was not dyed with red and bright colors, but it had a unique charm, the scenery along the way was just right, and she met a handsome woman with crooked eyebrows and eyes on the road, it was He Xiangxiang.

After seeing the woman's appearance, Jiang Cailing was really surprised, she hadn't found out before, how did this He Xiangxiang look a little similar to her skin in her previous life, and the dog was eyebrows.

It's just that she is not as bright and delicate as Jiang Cailing's skin, but her pair of similar eyebrows and eyes reveal a clean and gentle temperament, like the chrysanthemum of the Nine Autumns. And she is half a year younger than He Ling'er, and her development is much better than He Ling'er's bean sprouts, with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her chest is like a snow peak.

He Xiangxiang was wearing a Qingtian stone-colored cardigan skirt, her black and shiny hair was half curled and half scattered, fixed with a three-pronged carved white gold step shake, and the fine silver veins on the step shake were tilted in the air to form a beautiful arc, and the simple and meticulous dress made Jiang Cailing know that this He Xiangxiang must be a smart woman.

Beautiful but not glamorous, it is the favorite type of men, especially pretentious men like Gu Jiming.

"Xiangxiang has seen the fifth sister." He Xiangxiang saw Jiang Cailing from a distance, and walked a few steps to her to give a gentle salute, but there was a smile on his lips, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Jiang Cailing knew what she was laughing at, it was nothing more than her gaudy dress, so she deliberately raised her hand and touched Jin Buyan before she spoke, "The sixth sister hasn't been here for a long time, what kind of wind actually blew the sixth sister here today?" ”

He Xiangxiang lowered his head and smiled, his eyebrows flashed shyly, "Naturally, it's because of the marriage, thank you Fifth Sister for giving me such a good match as Gu Xiang." ”

Jiang Cailing curled her lips and smiled, she has seen a lot of women like He Xiangxiang, she is gentle and kind on the surface, but in fact, she has more calculations in her heart than anyone else, presumably the patriarch can think of the idea of replacing the bride, and He Xiangxiang knocked on the side.

In the face of such a woman, Jiang Cailing has always stretched out her hand to hit the smiling person, but she is now He Ling'er, and her words and deeds must be well measured, so she kindly took He Xiangxiang's hand, "Where to let or not, I didn't specify which daughter was married to the Gu family at the beginning, and the sixth sister is among the twelve noble girls in Luoyang, so she is naturally more suitable for Gu Xiang than you and the fifth sister." ”

"The fifth sister's appearance and talent are also excellent, Xiangxiang is just a fluke licking among the noble girls." He Xiangxiang is a girl after all, although she has scheming, but the city government is still shallow, she doesn't know how to hide her emotions, and she has a smug look in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows when she speaks.

Jiang Cailing pretended not to notice it, packed up her emotions, and walked to the front hall with He Xiangxiang, where many people gathered, including the patriarch, He Mingshan, He Minghai, Meng Yun, He Mingshan's main room and other cadres sat down according to their generations.

The most eye-catching is Gu Jiming, wearing a silver-white wide-sleeved gown, his hair is neatly tied in a jade crown, revealing a smooth and full forehead, and a pair of narrow eyebrows and eyes are like a fine brush.

Such a dusty person, if you see it for the first time, always makes people feel good.

Jiang Cailing showed a surprised look as if she had seen it for the first time, and bent down to salute, "Ling'er has seen Gu Xiang." ”

He Ling'er and Gu Jiming did meet for the first time, Jiang Cailing didn't look up in the palace last time, and Gu Jiming didn't look at her in detail.

He Ling'er's facial features are very atmospheric, with long and curved eyebrows, big and round eyes, which looks like a very blessed appearance, but the gold and silver jewelry on the whole body is a little too exaggerated, and the skin tone is dark yellow in a green dress.

When He Xiangxiang saw Gu Jiming, he was pampered and humiliated, dressed in green clothes, and looked like a jade face with better skin than snow, gentle and moving.

Gu Jiming nodded lightly, which was considered a return gift.

The patriarch and Gu Jiming sat on the main seat, He Mingshan and He Minghai sat on both sides, and on the mahogany carved table on each person's side there was a cup of fragrant tea, a plate of gold cake rolls and a plate of milky grapes, and the maids stood neatly on both sides in the back row at any time to listen to the master's orders.

There was green smoke billowing from the four-cornered copper beast incense burner, He Mingshan looked at the strange atmosphere formed by everyone in his family, and took the lead in speaking, "I invited Gu Xiang to come here today to discuss the marriage of the He family and the Gu family. ”

"Discuss? How did I hear that the He family exchanged his fiancée for this phase. ”

As soon as Gu Jiming said this, although it was a gentle tone, it made everyone feel displeased, and the patriarch hurriedly spoke, "How can Gu Xiang say this?" ”

The thin lips spit lightly, and the cold gaze swept over Jiang Cailing, who was wearing gold and silver, "Everyone knows, how did I hear that He Ling'er, the daughter of He Mingshan, who my Gu family is going to marry, heard that she is going to become He Xiangxiang, the daughter of He Minghai?" ”

He Minghai noticed Gu Jiming's resistance to the change of parents, and immediately spoke, "Gu Xiang, it was the baby kiss set by the late father, and it was clearly the daughter of the He family, but there are many daughters of the He family, but which one is not specified?" Moreover, Xiangxiang has been practicing dance and piano since childhood, and is among the twelve noble girls in Luoyang. ”

He Xiangxiang nervously wrung his handkerchief in his heart, and looked at Gu Jiming innocently with a pair of bright eyes on his face, showing the girl's coquettishness.

Jiang Cailing secretly raised her eyebrows, this He Minghai is also confused, what kind of woman does Gu Jiming want, Yuan Gaoyang, the only daughter of General Yuan Da, the first beauty of Luoyang, the head of the twelve noble women, is cold and noble, not only proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and chess, but also knows how to use knives, forks, swords, halberds, such a strange woman Gu Jiming didn't look down on, let alone a little He Xiangxiang?

Just when drinking tea and watching the excitement, Jiang Cailing fiddled with the tea leaves in the tea, and her way of opening the tea leaves was very special, using the tea lid to filter the tea water into another cup.

Ordinary people can't develop such a habit, and only the pampered queen mother can think of such a different idea.

This action did not escape Gu Jiming's eyes, his inky black eyes moved, recalling that last time in the palace, Ah Gua was very close to this little girl, and after pondering for a while, he opened his lips and said, "Even if it is not the twelve noble girls, He Ling'er is also the person I Gu Jiming wants to marry." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Cailing just drank the tea in her mouth and squirted out, is there a problem with Gu Jiming's eyes, how could he fall in love with He Ling'er, a bean sprout with a cheesy taste?

He Xiangxiang didn't expect that she would lose to He Ling'er, and looked at Gu Jiming in disbelief, with surprise in the corners of her eyes.

He Mingshan and Meng Yun are in a complicated mood, on the one hand, they support their daughter to be with their sweetheart, on the other hand, they feel that Gu Jiming is really a good match, although Su Qingcheng is also a business genius with a reputation as a noble son in Luoyang, but they always feel that this Su Qingcheng is difficult to understand, and people can't completely rest assured that they will deliver the pearl in their palms.

When He Minghai heard this, he only felt that his wishful thinking was shattered, and he hurriedly said, "Ling'er has been pampered since she was a child, I'm afraid there are places where you are not polite, but Xiangxiang has learned etiquette with the grandmother in the palace, Xiangxiang can restrain Ling'er from making mistakes, it is better for the two sisters to follow the example of Empress Eying and marry into the Gu family together." ”

Hearing He Minghai's words, He Mingshan couldn't help frowning, this big brother is really confused, Ling'er and Xiangxiang are both good girls, so they don't have to beg to get married, if the matter of marrying their daughter is publicized, they are not afraid of outsiders' jokes.

Jiang Cailing continued to drink tea slowly, anyway, the patriarch had signed an agreement with her, and the agreement only said "He Ling'er has independent marriage, and others cannot interfere", black and white paper, it is clear that if she and He Xiangxiang marry Gu Jiming together, she will have reason to refuse.

She doesn't want to fight in this life, she doesn't want to fight at home, and she doesn't want to get married, if she is really lucky enough to meet the man she likes, she also wants to be a couple for the rest of her life, otherwise she would rather die alone.

"Master He's Yanfu is not blessed, and it is enough to marry one person in his life."

Gu Jiming's mouth has always been very powerful, and he refused politely on the surface, but he actually ridiculed He Minghai.

When the others couldn't help laughing, Jiang Cailing frowned when she heard this, she didn't know why Gu Jiming didn't marry her.

The patriarch's face was also quite ugly, and he gave Jiang Cailing a look, trying to make Jiang Cailing say something.

Say what?

said that she didn't want to marry Gu Jiming?

In front of Gu Jiming, not only was the agreement with the patriarch useless, but she couldn't directly refuse the marriage.

Others only think that Gu Jiming is high and arrogant, but they don't know that this person has a strong sense of revenge, if she refuses the marriage in public today, Gu Jiming may not know how to bring down He Mingshan's branch.

You have to take your time when you get out of the marriage.
