Chapter 26: Courtship
"You're at ease, a yard of wine and meat."
A playful voice came from the archway, interrupting several people.
Everyone looked back, only to see Princess Changle walking over with a smile, "I smelled this fragrance outside, what kind of meat?" Dog meat? ”
It seems to taste wrong!
She looked up at the crowd.
Jiang Shu'er was stunned, rolled her eyes and dragged Jiang Qingchen, "I'm full, I'll go back to the room first." ”
It was the latter's bitter face that answered him.
"Haha, Aunt Five, Aunt Five, why did you come back so early, didn't you usually come back when you were united?"
"It's getting dark now, how can it be so late." Changle realized that something was wrong and put away his smile, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
"Nope!" Everyone said in unison.
"Really?"
She looked at them one by one, and finally her eyes fell on Jiang Qingchen, "Qingchen, you say." ”
The person named had a toothache, "Mother, there's nothing, you think too much." ”
"Oh?" Changle glanced at the meat skewers in front of them, "What kind of meat is that?" ”
"Uh...... This seems to be ......."
"Huh?"
"Lamb."
Changle nodded, then paused again, "Mutton? When did the house bring sheep again? ”
Jiang Yongke and the others laughed and didn't dare to look at her.
At this time, Jiang Shu'er had already disappeared with Jiang Xiuchen and Jiang Yongqing.
Yes, they have to carry this pot.
Changle, who guessed the reason, narrowed his eyes, "Shouldn't you have slaughtered the milk sheep that were carefully fed in the house?" ”
"This, this...... It seems to be. Jiang Yongdong, who was honest, said, and was immediately glared at by several other people.
Changle clenched his fists, Jiang Qingchen's face changed, "Mother, you have to be calm, mother, it's the little sister who wants to eat, so we ......"
"Shut up—"
Before Jiang Qingchen could see the other party's movements clearly, he was smashed to the side.
Changle looked at a few of the boys who got up and stood in line, "I won't clean you up, but sister-in-law is different." ”
After all, that sheep is a dairy sheep specially raised in the house and piled up with all kinds of precious things.
As a result, it was eaten.
There was a sound from the arch, Changle retreated without looking at it, and picked up Jiang Qingchen, who was pretending to be dead, and went back to the hall.
There was a commotion in the courtyard, and the shouts and begging for mercy were harmonious.
Changle, who had hidden his merits and fame, sat in the hall and calmly pecked at the tea.
Well, there is still peace in the house today!
That's nice.
Jiang Shu'er, who had escaped the catastrophe, couldn't help but shudder when they heard the sound from the front yard.
"It turns out that you let the kitchen slaughter the dairy sheep, no wonder the mother is so angry."
Jiang Yongqing accused her, "You are really, aren't there any other sheep in the house?" ”
Shu'er glanced at her without being salty, and ate tea with her legs crossed, "If you want to eat, you have to eat the best, besides, I have long taken a fancy to those two sheep and wanted to slaughter." There's no chance of this, and who can miss it. ”
"But that's for my mother!"
"It's not all the same, and the milk of other sheep can't be used and eaten?"
Jiang Yongqing choked, as if it was too.
No, this sheep was fed with great care in the house.
Just as he wanted to argue with her again, Jiang Xiuchen, who was inquiring about the news from outside, came back and said to them: "The third brother and they were all dragged back, it seems that the aunt is very angry!" ”
Hearing this, Shu'er's eyes were shining.
"If you want me to guess, the second aunt is the fiercest on weekdays, and this time it must be the third brother who is the most embarrassed."
"The third brother is drunk, and I saw that he was carried out by the little girl."
"Tsk......"
Jiang Yongqing looked at the gloating appearance of the two and couldn't help but swallow.
Luckily, she ran fast.
That night, Jiang Wuye, who had been walking outside for an afternoon, came back, and smiled from ear to ear after hearing about it.
kept patting his thigh and said, "It's really worthy of my daughter, doesn't it look like?" At the beginning, I wore the old man's bird on skewers and roasted it. ”
Changle glanced at him with disgust, "Hmph, it's just a virtue with you, it's all brought by you." ”
"Well, it's good that the child is happy, and I'll help the sister-in-law find two better goats when I go back."
"That's all there is to it." Changle compromised.
The next day, several children of the Jiang family had blue noses and swollen faces, and they didn't even go out of the door, so they dared to show up after being at home for several days.
Jiang Shu'er, who was looking for an opportunity and wanted to sneak out, was stopped by Jiang Qingchen and told her bad news.
In the flower hall of the Jiang family, Changle and several other sisters-in-law were sitting on high chairs, and opposite them was the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyuan, Qin.
Today, she didn't come alone.
The most famous official media in Beijing is waiting for her.
Changle had a cold face, "You mean, you're here to ask for a kiss today?" Whose dear do you ask? ”
Qin covered his lips and smiled, "Who else can there be, who else is suitable for your mansion besides the fifth lady." ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she raised her eyebrows and exchanged glances with several other people.
Changle Pi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, "That's really sorry, our little five's husband has already been chosen, and Mrs. Liu is only afraid of being disappointed." ”
"Oh? There have already been candidates, I don't know which son's son can have such a blessing and be able to marry the pearl of the princess palace? ”
"I haven't chosen a date yet, so it's hard to reveal too much."
"That's a pity, I have long heard that the fifth lady is outstanding in talent and beauty, and my son was fortunate to see it once, so he never forgot it, and begged me to kiss."
"Mrs. Liu, please respect yourself," Changle lowered his face coldly, "The little girl and Ling Gongzi have never intersected, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say these words!" ”
"Your Highness, forgive me, the fate of these children is not easy to say, you might as well think about it again, the Liu family is also sincerely asking for marriage, not child's play."
is also said that if she deliberately humiliates or something, there is no need to bring the official media.
It is precisely because of this that Changle did not blast people out.
However, even so, she misses Xiao and her daughter.
If there was no previous matter, she might have thought about it, but with that matter, the Liu family would never be able to be selected among the people she was optimistic about.
Whether the other party really has a habit of abusing women, or it is a rumor.
"That's going to disappoint Mrs. Liu, the little girl's marriage has been decided, the capital is big, and there are not a few suitable sons."
Being rejected so clearly, the Qin clan was not angry, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
"That's a pity...... she whispered, her eyes drooping and uncertain.
At the same time, after Jiang Shu'er in the room heard the news brought by Jiang Qingchen, she smashed the table with a fist.
She still remembers everything in her previous life, her sister married into the Liu family, and finally died in an unknown way.
How dare they, how dare they come again?
"No, I'm not going to let them get their way." Shu'er said that she was going to the front hall.
Jiang Qingchen grabbed her, "Don't be impulsive first, my mother won't agree to this matter." ”
