Chapter Seventy-Five: The Marriage Gift
Sun Yingying picked up the curtain and stared coldly at the carriage that had gone away, her nails digging into her palms. I heard her cousin say that Qi Cheng left the table early last night, and last night in the apse, she took a closer look, and Ji Yunyun also disappeared early, she intuitively felt that something was wrong with the two, and she came over to take a look, but she didn't expect to be really met by her.
She thought that after giving a few warnings, that slut would stay away from Qi Cheng, but she didn't expect to enter the house now. If she lets it go any longer, I'm afraid it won't be long before the position of the princess of King An's Mansion will become that slut!
Sun Yingying made up her mind, and instructed the coachman with a cold face, "Back home, I want to go into the palace to see my aunt." ”
As soon as Ji Yunyun returned home, he was called to the old lady.
In Rongshan Hall, the old lady and the Zhou Ye family are there, yesterday she left the palace early, and everyone in the house knew about the fact that she didn't return to the house overnight. She went in and saluted, and the old lady sat down on top and asked her bluntly, "What happened yesterday?" ”
Ji Yunyun briefly said that she came out of the palace and met Qi Cheng, only saying that Qi Cheng found that she was wrong and sent her out of the palace, omitting the fact that she was carried out of the palace by Qi Cheng.
"This Prince An is really interesting, instead of sending people back to our Guogong Mansion, he sent them to his own palace." Ye Shi said dissatisfiedly on the side.
"The prince was afraid that he would send Yun'er back late at night, and he would be seen by others and provoked criticism, so he took people back to the palace." Zhou spoke for Qi Cheng.
Ye snorted coldly, "Bringing it back to the palace won't cause criticism?" He is going to marry the girl of the Sun family, and now he is so close to our girl, what is he doing? The Sun family has a noble concubine as a backer, how can it be easy to get along, and compete with their girls for their sweethearts, don't you think our family is too comfortable? ”
The Zhou family frowned disapprovingly, "Even if the Sun family has a noble concubine as a backer, our family is no worse than them, if the prince really likes our family's concubine, Wan'er is also worthy of this princess." ”
"Then the son of the family is willing to marry, for fear that the Sun family will be offended in the end, not to mention, the son of the family will still marry the girl of the Sun family. When our family spread it, it became a big joke. Ye said with a straight face.
Listening to the quarrel between the two aunts, Ji Yunyun lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. If she didn't get close to Qi Cheng, her grandmother and aunts believed it last night, but after last night, I'm afraid she wouldn't believe it anyway.
"Okay, what's there to quarrel with the family." The old lady interrupted their quarrel with a calm face and asked Ji Yunyun, "Wan'er, let me ask you, do you like the prince of Na'an?" ”
Ji Yunyun paused, knowing that if she answered her favorite, she was afraid that she would hear countless long sighs and endless admonitions, so she knelt down and said without hesitation: "Back to grandmother's words, my granddaughter is still young and has no one she likes. ”
Although she didn't answer directly, the old lady also understood the meaning of her words, and nodded: "That's fine, you can go back first." ”
Ji Yunyun blessed his body and got up, saluted the Zhou family and the Ye family, and retreated.
"After the year, let's find a suitable family for her and Shu'er, and don't let her go out of the mansion to meet the prince of Na'an Wangfu before her marriage is decided." Seeing that she was gone, the old lady lightly instructed Zhou.
"Yes." Zhou responded.
"Alright, you all go down, I'm a little tired." The old lady waved her hand and drove them away.
Zhou and Ye got up and retired.
Seeing that they were all gone, the old lady instructed the maid to take an embroidery, carefully rubbed the scripture handwriting on it, and the purple kite knelt next to her and beat her legs, and said with a smile: "The second girl's embroidery is very good, and the handwriting of the third master is so vivid." ”
"Hmph, they all learned from her mother, her mother, in addition to a face can see, the embroiderer can also be eye-catching." The old lady snorted, her granddaughter and her daughter-in-law have the same outstanding face, her daughter-in-law can hook her most beloved son Feiqing not to marry, she wants to see now, this granddaughter can also hook the prince of An Wang Shizi to reject the Sun family and marry their country.
Ji Yunyun raised in the house for a few days, and the wind and cold were completely cured. Since she came back from King An's Mansion, the house has not allowed the girls to go out, she knows that it is because of her, and she is not dissatisfied, so she stays in the mansion and waits for the New Year with peace of mind.
She went to Ji Yunshu's house to sit down, the two sat around the couch while eating melon seeds and fruits, while talking, Ji Yunshu suddenly let the maids in the house go out, and whispered to her: "I went back with my mother to visit my sick aunt yesterday, and Cousin Fu also came back, she whispered to me that Sun Guifei asked the emperor to marry Sun Yingying and Wang Shizi. ”
Ji Yunyun swallowed melon seeds, she didn't give marriage in her last life, it was Qi Cheng who went to Sun's house to mention in person. Knowing that he would marry someone else early in the morning, she didn't think anything about it before, but now that she heard the news that the emperor was going to give her marriage, the fragrant melon seeds in her mouth suddenly became a little tasteless, she raised her eyes and asked, "Is it?" Why didn't you listen to the holy decree? ”
"I heard that I was persuaded by the queen, and said that I still have to ask the meaning of the two families, and if the two families agree, they will choose a good day and give marriage at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet." Ji Yunshu looked at her look in her eyes and said.
"The queen is really thoughtful." Ji Yunyun threw down the unfinished melon seeds in his hand and smiled.
Ji Yunshu looked at her, and asked again and again: "You and the prince ...... you"
"I didn't have anything to do with him, but I just happened to run into him a few times." Ji Yunyun bowed to her with her hands folded, "Good sister, don't be like your grandmother, spare me." ”
"You." Ji Yunshu stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of her nose, what she wanted to say but didn't say it in the end, even if the second sister was really interested in the son, but the son didn't ask to marry the second sister, after all, it was ruthless and ruthless.
"Don't talk about me, big sister, this hairpin on your head today is so beautiful." As soon as Ji Yunyun came, he saw the begonia jasper hairpin on Ji Yunshu's head, and said with his chin in his hands.
Ji Yunshu raised his hand and touched the hosta, and said with a smile: "Really?" ”
Looking at the happy smile on Ji Yunshu's face, Ji Yunyun's heart moved, and he asked, "Big sister, which son gave you this hairpin?" Looking at the look of the big sister, doesn't she have someone you like? ”
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment, his face quickly dyed a thin red, and quickly denied: "Second sister, don't talk nonsense, this hairpin was bought by me in a shop outside, so it wasn't given by a son." ”
"Oh, if the eldest sister doesn't admit it now, don't admit it, it's just that the eldest aunt will have to make plans for your and my marriage after the year, and it will be up to the eldest sister to admit it when the time comes." Ji Yunyun didn't tear her down, and said in a long voice.
"You girl, let you talk nonsense." Ji Yunshu's face was completely red, and she was about to cover her mouth when she got up.
Ji Yunyun giggled and dodged, the two sisters fought for a while, and only stopped when they heard that the Zhou family was back.
In King An's mansion, Princess An called her eldest son to talk in the house.
"The emperor is going to invite me and your father into the palace tomorrow to ask about your marriage to the girl of the Sun family, what do you think? Do you agree or ......" Princess An looked at her son and stopped talking.
Seeing that her son was silent with her head down, Princess An sighed, "Cheng'er, my mother doesn't care what you and your father are planning in secret, my mother only asks you, do you like the girl of the Sun family?" The thought of marrying her into the door, but the heart is happy? ”
Qi Cheng glanced up at Princess An, his thin lips pursed, and there was no trace of joy on his face.
Seeing the look on his face, Princess An understood in her heart and said, "Cheng'er, my mother is still the same as before, which girl you want to marry, my mother will not interfere." But my mother always hopes that the wife you marry is the one you like, and when you didn't have someone you liked before, you wanted to marry the girl of the Sun family, and my mother didn't object to you, but now ......"
As she spoke, she paused, "Now whether you have a favorite person or not, I'm afraid you know it very well in your own heart." In this life, it is not easy to meet the person who preserves the heart, and my mother doesn't want you to miss your lover because of the power struggle, you must know that if you miss it now, you can never find it back, and you don't want you to regret it in the future. ”
Qi Cheng's eyes were obscure, and he finally spoke, "Give me one night, and I'll tell you and my father my final plan tomorrow." ”
Princess An looked at her son and nodded, "Okay, my mother is waiting for you." ”
"The son is out." Qi Cheng came out of Princess An's house, walked to the corridor and met a maid with a dress in her hand, saw him, stopped and saluted, "Shizi." ”
Qi Cheng's gaze swept over her, and he didn't stop taking two steps under his feet, then suddenly stopped, turned around and called the maid, "Stop, whose clothes are you holding in your hand?" ”
The maid hurriedly turned around and replied: "It was the last time the old lady of the Pingguo Mansion was on her birthday, the little young master's clothes were dirty, and the second girl from the Pingguo Mansion changed the clothes for the little young master." I forgot it after I came back before, and I found it out when I was sorting out the clothes for the little master, and the slave maid came to ask the princess if she returned it to the Pingguo Mansion. ”
After the maid finished speaking, seeing that Qi Cheng didn't speak for a long time, and was about to retire, Qi Cheng opened his mouth, "Don't bother the princess, just give it to me." ”
The maid was stunned, and just as she was about to say something, the clothes in her hand were taken away by a big hand.
At dusk, there was a light snow in the sky, Ji Yunyun had dinner, leaned on the soft couch outside and read a book for a while, and heard the sound of snow falling outside getting louder. She put down her book, opened the window and looked at it, and saw that the light snow had turned into a heavy snowfall, and the trees and the ground outside the window were completely white.
"Girl, what are you doing with the window? Beware of catching a cold and being caught by the wind. Chun Tao came in from outside with hot tea, saw the window opened, and hurriedly closed it.
Ji Yunyun yawned and ordered, "It's such a big snow outside, I want to rest early and let someone bring hot water in." ”
"Yes, girl." Chun Tao answered, went out and instructed the little maids to bring hot water into the house.
After washing up and changing into bedclothes, Ji Yunyun said to a few maids: "You can also go back to the house to rest, you don't need to wait by the side." ”
Tonight it was Chunzhi's turn to keep vigil, she served Ji Yunyun to lie down on the bed, cut the wick in the oil lamp, and said, "Girl, I'm outside, something calls me." ”
Ji Yunyun held the book in his hand and nodded absentmindedly.
After Chunzhi went out, the room was completely quiet, only the sound of Ji Yunyun turning the pages. Outside the house, the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground became louder and louder, and there was a "pop", and the window sounded, as if someone was knocking.
