Chapter 7: Qi Xuan and Liu
"Miss, though the way he approached you was improper. However, please forgive the lady. The slave thinks that the master has always treated you very well, and if he treats you sincerely in his life, it will not be a good marriage. When the slave maid peeked at the young lady, there were many stories about marrying the right man in the wrong sedan chair" Bai Su mustered up the courage and said: "The slave and maid are vain, please forgive the young lady." β
"Get up." Jiang Shu helped Bai Su up: "I know that you are for my good, you go to clean up the study first, you look at my current appearance, it is not convenient to meet people." Let's take a long-term view of the future, shall we? β
"Yes, the slave will arrange it now." Bai Su left happily.
Looking at Bai Su's departing figure, thinking of Bai Su's persuasion, Jiang Shu didn't blame her, why didn't she have such an idea in her previous life, so she repeatedly gave in under Qi Xuan's rhetoric, until in the end, there was no way to retreat, and she gave everything.
She has spent her whole life practicing this mistake, and she will not repeat it in this life.
It's just that Jiang Shu is a little embarrassed, Bai Su thinks so, and doesn't know what to do at home. At the beginning, he wanted to marry Qi Xuan, and he did not hesitate to threaten him with a hunger strike.
Not knowing how to open her mouth to the Jiang family, Jiang Shu fell into deep thought.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chang'an City, Cuizhu Lane.
Sitting in a small courtyard, a man was sipping tea while another woman stood behind him, pinching his shoulders.
This pair of men and women is Qi Xuan and Liu.
"Qi Lang, is this strength still comfortable?" Liu asked, "You have been so busy these days, are you more relaxed now?" β
"Much better." Qi Xuan put down the teacup, took Liu's hand behind him, and held her in his arms.
This time, he has a new marriage to a beautiful woman on the gold list, he has just entered the noble circle, and good things come in pairs, compared to the cold window in the early years, I don't know how much more comfortable, where will I feel tired.
It's just Liu's concern, and he still appreciates it.
"You have also worked hard, Liu'er, don't worry, my foundation is not stable now, when my foundation is stable, I found an opportunity to tell Shu'er to take you home."
Liu is the daughter of their showman, although she is beautiful and charming, she is a rare woman who has read a book there.
The combination of bookish and charming appearance has a unique style.
And the Liu family is quite proper, and thinks more about himself.
Even when he met Jiang Shu for the first time and was shocked by her beauty gaffe, Liu was not angry.
It's about planning for yourself, so that you can hold the beauty.
Liu was able to see the situation in the officialdom clearly, and for the sake of his future future, he asked to hide in this small courtyard. Her dedication to herself, Qi Xuan also saw it.
Today's Qi Xuan, who is not only the new son-in-law of Jiang Mansion but also the golden house, is also very proud in his heart, and waits until his foundation is deeper, and when Jiang Shu is more obedient to himself, he is taking the Liu family back to the mansion, Shuangmei is in his arms, so happy.
Looking at Qi Xuan's appearance, the Liu family didn't know what he was thinking.
In the end, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and this stealing is still his wife, such happiness, with Liu's understanding of Qi Xuan, he can't refuse.
And he knows how to show weakness very well, as long as he can firmly grasp Qi Xuan's heart, everything can be planned.
Qi Xuan was still too naΓ―ve, and said to Jiang Shu, take her home?
Not to mention whether Jiang Shu can accept her existence, even if she can, what will she do when she takes her back, and be a concubine?
She worked hard to plan for Qi Xuan, but not to be a concubine.
From a small county town to Chang'an, she paid no less than Qi Xuan's hard work.
Since she was a child, she knew that Chang'an was prosperous, she was smart and beautiful, everything was top in the county, she didn't want to be dusty in the pearl of the small county town for the rest of her life, she wanted to become a member of the circle of ladies in Chang'an.
Unlike Jiang Shu, she never married Qi Xuan not because of his handsome appearance, but because of his hard work.
A poor life will make people forge ahead, the Liu family is gambling, taking their marriage as a bet, Qi Xuan is a member of their small town who can be named on the gold list, she can come to live in Chang'an with him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan was even better than she thought, despite the title of the gold list, the top student in high school.
When she first entered the capital, she and Qi Xuan walked on the road, and saw the nobles in the capital traveling in a car, the wind blew the curtains of Jiang's carriage, and Qi Xuan was shocked when he saw Jiang Shu's appearance. Although she was jealous, she quickly calmed down.
After coming to Chang'an, she found that she was not deceived in the book, Chang'an was singing and dancing, prosperous and abnormal, as she imagined, even beyond her imagination.
But these don't belong to me, and the talent and appearance that I am proud of in the small county town are not more than here.
And when she learned the news of Qi Xuan High School, she was the first in the Qi family to calm down.
A champion born in a poor family, in this capital full of powerful people, is nothing at all, and only by clinging to the powerful can he rise to the top.
And only when Qi Xuan is on the rise, can the Liu family realize the life she wants to live, she doesn't want to be the wife of a petty official in the capital, she wants to go to the circle of real noblewomen, and she wants to become a person in Chang'an City.
Therefore, she planned for Qi Xuan and helped Qi Xuan marry Jiang Shu. She will also take it step by step, through the Jiang family, to let Qi Xuan Qingyun go straight up.
And all this is also in line with Qi Xuan's intentions.
Because when Qi Xuan agreed to pretend to be unmarried and propose to marry Jiang Shu, Liu knew that he was the same kind of person as himself.
In other words, he also saw the way of survival in Chang'an, and he could use his strength to go straight up, who would want to work hard and live in poverty.
Let's just say that this mansion looks inconspicuous on the surface, but it is small and exquisite, located in Chang'an, and it is naturally expensive.
Although Qi Xuan bought it for her, she didn't know how much money the Qi family had, and the money came from the Jiang family after all.
As for the maid and cook in the house, she is fully matched, and her life is much better than her previous days in the county, doing housework every day, and serving Qi Xuan and Mrs. Qi.
It's just that she wants more than that.
She will return to the Qi Mansion, become Mrs. Qi again, and enter the circle of noblewomen in the capital.
All this, she will plan slowly, as long as Qi Xuan is still willing to come here, after all, she still has a trump card in her hand.
As for Jiang Shu, who made that woman born so well, with a noble family background and extraordinary appearance, the Liu family would not admit it, she was jealous.
From the first time I saw Jiang Shu, I was jealous, not only jealous of her beauty, but also jealous of her smile, why could she live so brilliantly under the protection of her father, brother and family.
Why can she be born without any effort, she has everything that most women envy, why as soon as she appears, everyone's eyes will fall on her, this is everything that the Liu family dreams of.
It doesn't matter, she has time, she will take everything from Jiang Shu little by little. Her husband, her status, her wealth.
It's all really exciting.
