Chapter 5: Good Concubines
Jiang seemed to have dried his hair, drank the ginger syrup served by Ah Qiao, and suddenly felt warm, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on the bed.
Going into the water to save people was too physically exertional, and she was already exhausted.
Dongpingbo's Mansion was shrouded in quiet darkness, but the Anguo Mansion, which was two streets away, was crowded with people and brightly lit.
Duchess Wei, who was leaning on the head of the bed, was holding An Guogong's hand and crying hysterically.
An Guogong's face was gloomy, and he was upset by Wei's crying, and reluctantly comforted: "Don't cry, didn't Da Lang rush over, San Lang will be fine." β
Previously, the house was overturned because of Saburo's disappearance, and at night he suddenly heard that Saburo had fallen into the water, so he just cared about asking if someone was okay and hurriedly ordered Da Lang to rush over, and now he doesn't know how Saburo drowned.
An Guogong's heart went up and down, and then the servant hurriedly came in to report: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs., the prince has come back with the third son." β
"Let them in!" Before An Guo could speak publicly, Wei sat up suddenly.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the maid lifted the beaded curtain and walked in three people.
Wei crossed the eldest son Ji Chongli, and saw the bloodless third son Ji Chongyi at a glance, got up and pounced: "San Lang, what's wrong with you?" Let my mother see if there's anything wrong! β
"Mother, I'm fine." Ji Chongyi showed a weak smile.
"How can it be okay?" Wei stroked Ji Chongyi's cheeks, tears falling down, "The hair is wet, how can a good end fall into the water!" β
"Ahem."
The cough sounded, and Wei couldn't help but glance at An Guogong.
An Guogong's gaze fell behind Ji Chongyi.
Half a foot away from Ji Chongyi stood a petite woman, who was lowering her head and touching the hem of her clothes at this time, unable to hide her uneasiness.
Wei's face immediately changed, and his voice couldn't help but rise: "Who is she?" β
Seeing this, Ji Chongyi stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Niang to his side, looking directly into Wei's eyes: "Mother, she is the person who is pleasing to her son, called Qiao Niang." β
Wei's face couldn't help but stiffen, staring at Qiao Niang's eyes bottomless: "It turns out that you are Qiao Niang, I heard that you saved our San Lang before, and I haven't thanked you yet." β
Qiao Niang glanced up at Wei Shi in surprise, then lowered her head, and said nervously: "No, I don't dare to be Mrs. Xie-"
"Hanfang, take Qiao Niang down to rest." Wei interrupted Qiao Niang's words lightly.
Hanfang, the big girl beside Wei's, walked up to Qiao Niang and said with a smile: "Qiao Niang, please come with your maid." β
Qiao Niang couldn't help but glance at Ji Chongyi.
Ji Chongyi thought about it, and nodded lightly to Qiao Niang: "You go to rest, I'll go see you tomorrow." β
Qiao Niang relieved herself and followed the maid out.
A cold light flashed in Wei's eyes.
It's really a wild girl who doesn't understand the rules at all, not to mention a girl's family and her son's dealings, just say that she didn't know how to salute the people present when she left just now, you can see how upbringing is.
"Bloom, quickly bring the ginger tea to the third prince."
Soon, a maid in the same outfit as Hanfang walked forward with a cup of ginger tea.
An Guogong watched his youngest son finish drinking the ginger tea with a cold eye, and then asked, "What's going on?" β
This was asked by Ji Chongli, the prince of Anguo.
Ji Chongli glanced at Ji Chongyi quickly, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he said stubbornly: "Third brother...... The third brother jumped into the lake with the woman......"
"Bastard!" An Guogong raised his foot and kicked over a chair.
Ji Chongyi knelt down.
Wei glanced at An Guogong with disgust: "Why is the master so angry?" San Lang fell into the water, so he hurriedly asked the doctor to take a look and prescribe a few pairs of cold medicine. β
"What do you ask the doctor for? Who can stop him from wanting to die? An Guogong looked at Ji Chongyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and became more and more angry, pointing at him and scolding, "The little beast is really capable, he wants to die or live for a woman!" β
Ji Chongyi kowtowed: "Father, mother, your second elder will become a son." β
Hey, it seems to be crooked!
An Guogong jumped like thunder: "Don't think about it, as long as I live, you will give me the heart to die, and honestly marry the four girls of Dongping Bofu!" β
Wei didn't persuade him anymore, and his face was equally ugly.
She originally looked down on Dongpingbo's mansion, and at the beginning, An Guogong insisted on making a family relationship with his family in order to repay the Dongpingbo brothers' life-saving kindness, and she made trouble several times.
But no matter how bad Dongpingbo Mansion is, it is better than the people of Pingtou.
Ji Chongyi knelt straight and straight, and his tone was resolute: "Father, the son only likes Qiao Niang, and he doesn't like the four girls in Dongping Bofu. My son hasn't even seen her, so he can't be married to her! β
"San Lang, I've inquired about my father, the four girls of Dongping Bofu are famous beauties among the nobles in the capital." An Guogong persuaded patiently.
"Yes, your stepmother also found a chance to see it, but your father didn't coax you." Wei followed.
"In the eyes of my son, Qiao Niang is the most beautiful!" Ji Chongyi looked up at An Guogong, "Father, you can marry Dongping Bofu in order to repay your kindness, why can't you understand your son?" If it weren't for Qiao Niang, my son would probably be gone long agoβ"
"Shut up! In short, the marriage event can't be left to you, if you are obsessed with it, I will order someone to drive Qiao Niang out! β
"If the father drives the mother away, then the son will also be driven away." Ji Chongyi simply stood up.
"You-" An Guogong was so angry that he trembled, turned his head and yelled at the mother-in-law standing at the door, "Take someone to beat that Qiao Niang out with a stick!" β
"No way!" Seeing that the woman was going out, Ji Chongyi raised his feet to chase.
An Guogong shouted: "Da Lang, stop your third brother!" β
Ji Chongli grabbed Ji Chongyi's arm and persuaded, "Third brother, don't make your father angry." β
"Big brother, get out of the way!" Ji Chongyi wanted to push Ji Chongli away but couldn't do it, seeing that his mother-in-law was about to go out, he spurted out a mouthful of blood in a hurry and anger, and then fell on Ji Chongli.
Wei was so shocked that he shouted sharply, "Doctorβ"
Soon the doctor diagnosed and treated Ji Chongyi, saying that the vomiting of blood and coma was due to the impatience of the fire, coupled with the cold entering the body, and then it was necessary to recuperate well, and avoid great joy and sorrow.
When the doctor went out to prescribe medicine, Wei couldn't help complaining about An Guogong: "The old man is so anxious, isn't he going to force San Lang to death?" β
"I'm driving him to death? It's not like you're used to him being so ignorant! Although An Guogong said this, he couldn't help but be a little afraid when he thought of Ji Chongyi's vomiting blood.
Wei pinched the handkerchief to wipe away his tears: "What's the use of talking about this now?" Don't you and Da Lang hurt San Lang? If you want me to say, it's right to think about what to do. β
"In any case, the family affairs with Dongpingbo Mansion are not allowed to retreat!"
"But if the master forcibly separates San Lang and Qiao Niang, I'm afraid San Lang will really not be able to live."
Seeing An Guogong sneering, Wei cried: "Master, think about it, San Lang and Qiao Niang have both been martyred once, there will be a second time if there is a first time, if San Lang really has a good one, it will be too late for us to regret it." β
"So what do you say?"
Wei stopped sobbing, glanced at the inner room, and said thoughtfully: "Otherwise, our relationship with Dongping Bofu will remain unchanged, as for Qiao Niang, let San Lang accept her as a good concubine." β
