Chapter 60: Why Don't You Marry Me?
The moonlight was hazy that night, and the season had entered spring, but the snow in Shazhou had not disappeared.
The hazy moonlight shone on the snow, and there was a vague feeling of half-dreaming and half-awake.
Qiu Jinglan changed into her usual clothes, knocked on the door of the eldest princess's mansion from the back door, and when she was led to the Jiuqu Bridge by her subordinates, she was looking at the corridor on the other side of the bridge, and Ou Qinglan was already waiting quietly.
The Ou family's ancestral home is in northern Xinjiang, Ou Qinglan inherited the tall and fit body of the rouges in the north, and Qiu Jinglan is also tall among men, but Ou Qinglan is only half a head shorter than him.
Looking across the lake like this, the pomegranate red dress, even at night, is still shockingly red! The brocade of dark embroidered mandala flowers and leaves wraps the slender waist, and under the outline of the wind lamp overhead, it is indescribably graceful.
"Miss Ou!" Such a beauty in the moonlight, and the affectionate eyes that can be seen by a blind man, even if Ling Zui, Gu Yan, Jiang Yadan and other gentlemen are here, their hearts will soften. But Qiu Jinglan just glanced at it lightly, and then stepped on the Jiuqu Bridge steadily, and when he arrived at Ou Qinglan, he spoke slowly, "The last general is ordered to come, and I hope that the eldest lady will advise!" β
The demeanor is calm, the tone is calm, the wording is respectful, and the expression is quiet, but it is tens of millions of distances from each other, which shows the ruthless skills of the regular customers of Fengyue.
Ou Qinglan's eyes went from burning anticipation and wanting to stop, to being disappointed and hurting and wanting to cry, he could see it clearly when he was close at hand, but Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes did not move at all, and he did not make any waves.
"Qi Zheng said that he was cruel enough, and he was really cruel enough!" Ou Qinglan had mixed feelings in her heart, she had never seen such a man who attracted her, but she had never even heard of such a cruel man-she knew that she had trekked thousands of rivers and mountains for him, she knew that she had committed an assassination alone for him, and she knew the purpose of giving up all her dignity to ask for a meeting tonight......
However, he was so calm and distant that it was as if the two had met for the first time, and he was so neat that he seemed to have nothing to do with each other.
"If my brother or Nineteen are here, no matter how well they can beat him, they will definitely have to roll up their sleeves and beat him!" Bei Yan bit his lips, "Actually, I can beat him myself!" β
"But, I can't bear it!" Staring at Qiu Jinglan's extraordinarily handsome face under the moon, Ou Qinglan's expression struggled for a short time, but finally froze into perseverance: "Don't marry Miss Han!" β
Qiu Jinglan was not surprised, he knew that the eldest lady in front of him had always been direct and enthusiastic, so he just smiled faintly: "Why?" β
"You haven't seen her, how can you like her?" Ou Qinglan's hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and she said seriously, "And I bet she's not as good-looking as me!" Martial arts are not as good as mine! Not to mention that I like you! If you want to marry, why don't you marry me? β
"How does Miss Ou know that Miss Han is inferior to you in every way?" Qiu Jinglan said cruel words in a gentle tone, "At least this Miss Han is more reserved and self-respecting than you, isn't it?" β
Ou Qinglan's eyes were red, but she refused to cry, and still said seriously: "Because I am also the daughter of a border general!" There is no one in Northern Xinjiang who doesn't know me, my beauty, my martial arts! But here, who knows the young lady of the Han family? No one even knows her name! If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't good enough, how could she be so obscure? β
"As for reserve and self-respect?" Ou Qinglan seemed to endure the heartache for a moment before she said proudly, "That Miss Han just shrank in the boudoir and didn't dare to come out!" How do you know she's reserved and self-respecting? Perhaps, she is simply ashamed of herself! Don't dare to come out to meet people at all! β
"Maybe so!" Qiu Jinglan smiled, and didn't mean to argue with her - anyway, there were more angles to hit her, and she didn't care about one or two places, didn't she?
He said indifferently, "But Miss Han's grandfather is Han Jishan, who is the commander of the Zhenxi Army temporarily!" The Han family has been in the army for several generations, and they are very powerful in the Zhenxi Army, and the last general married Miss Han, and his life in the Zhenxi Army will be much better! This is not the benefit you can bring by marrying Miss Ou! β
"Han Jishan was promoted to the position of temporary commander of the Zhenxi Army, but it was just an expedient measure!" Ou Qinglan took a deep breath, she had already been admonished Qiu Jinglan before, but she still insisted on asking for an interview with him, so naturally she would not be unprepared: Regarding the question of Miss Han and her, which one is more beneficial for Qiu Jinglan to marry, she has carefully considered it, and asked Jiang Qizheng to help supplement it.
So this question is not lethal, she said confidently, "I took a fancy to him at the beginning, first, because he was an old man in the Zhenxi Army; The second is because he is old! In this way, once the real commander of the Zhenxi Army is decided, let him tell the old man to give way, and both will be decent! You said that the Han family has been in the army for several generations, and it is very powerful in the Zhenxi Army, but to say that the power is deep, it does not mean that the power is strong! It's like Han Jishan can be called an old man in the Zhenxi Army, but he may not be an important person! β
Qiu Jinglan snorted slightly: "If you have to be an important person, even if you temporarily act as the commander of the Zhenxi Army, it won't be his turn, right?" β
"If he wants someone, he won't be a temporary commander!" Ou Qinglan pursed her lips, "It shows that he lacks courage, even if it is an expedient measure, Qin Guogong does not dare to let him sit in this position!" And after we fell into the hands of Guo Qingwu before, I was secretly let go and escaped, and I met you on the way...... I don't think the person who let me run away must be your subordinate! Even if it were, it wasn't for you to do it. β
"It was an accident." Qiu Jinglan said lightly, "Because no one thought that Guo Qingwu would be bold and dare to be rude to you, the eldest lady!" Afraid that something would happen to you, he let you go. β
Ou Qinglan shook her head: "Although I don't know much about twists and turns, Qi Zheng understands!" She later told me that if that person had listened to you, he would never have let me go to Shazhou for help! Just hide me, or point me to a safe and sheltered place to take refuge! Because that place is far away from Shazhou, I am a girl, and it is the first time I have come here, and I don't bring much food and water, no one can be sure that I can arrive in Shazhou safely! What if something happens along the way? For the sake of your sister, you will not want to offend my family. β
Princess Chunfu! You're so eventful!
Qiu Jinglan sighed in her heart and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is very smart, that person is indeed not the last general...... But what exactly does the eldest lady want to say? β
"That person is from Han Jishan, right?" Ou Qinglan stared at him and said very calmly, "His people let me leave under your banner, and then let Guo Qingwu send people to hunt me downβhe was originally your ally, but he was cheating you by doing so, why?" Qizheng said that the most likely thing is that he is hesitating! Or rather, he was afraid! β
"I don't know how you persuaded him to calculate the Jiang family's big house and third room with you, but sooner or later, this matter can't be hidden from Qin Guogong! And if the Duke of Qin Guo does not pursue it clearly, he will also beat you secretly! Your sister is the wife of Nineteen, and now she's pregnant! Coupled with your talents, Qin Guogong will definitely show mercy to your subordinates! Then the main bearer of his anger must be Han Jishan! β
"Han Jishan doesn't want to do this, he wants to transfer the main responsibility to you! That's why he instructed someone to let me go in your name! So if I have an accident on the road, he has his own way to let my family know, and it's because your subordinates mishandled it! Otherwise, how could I have fled so easily, and the pursuers caught up so quickly? β
Ou Qinglan looked at Qiu Jinglan's noncommittal appearance, bit her lower lip lightly, and then continued, "Such a person, why did he let you call your grandfather?!" β
"But he's of great use to the last general!" Qiu Jinglan said lightly, "The reason why the last general was able to gain a foothold in the Zhenxi Army so quickly is not because the last general is talented, but because the last general is the heir of the Ruan family!" The last general married Han Jishan's granddaughter, and he was able to be more recognized by the Zhenxi Army! This also means that there will be more and more reliable troops in the end! For this reason, the last general does not care to forget Han Jishan's wavering attitude...... It's like the last general has also used the situation Qingwu before? But if the last general marries the eldest lady, not only will he not get the benefits of marrying the Han family, but he will make his subordinates suspect that the power of the Zhenbei Army will infiltrate the Zhenxi Army! β
"The eldest lady is the daughter of a border general, you should know that although the Zhenxi Army and the Zhenbei Army are one west and one north, they don't look at each other, but it's not a day or two to compete with each other, right? The eldest lady is the identity of the pearl of the Zhenbei Army......"
He smiled sarcastically, his smile indifferent.
Ou Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "You didn't calculate the account like this!" β
"Oh?"
"Do you only talk about the Zhenxi Army, but not the world?" Ou Qinglan pointed in the direction of the Jing Division, "Now that the Jiang Banchao has become the Jiang Dynasty, even Your Majesty is just a puppet!" The Zhenxi Army is just an elite soldier in this vast world, and no matter how deeply entrenched its generals are, what is it compared to the entire Darui world? β
"After the Gu clan was ambushed and the situation was reported, no matter whether the current generals of the Zhenxi Army are willing or not, the Jiang clan's involvement in the military power of the Zhenxi Army is a foregone conclusion! Didn't Jiang Yayue and Jiang Ya love come for military power before? Don't the top and bottom of the Zhenxi Army have to greet each other with a smile?! If you marry me, it will only consolidate your power and status even more, Miss Han is not worthy of being compared with me, and my maiden family's power and status are not comparable to Han Jishan! β
Ou Qinglan pursed her lips, "I am the only girl in the Ou family's generation, and I am still the daughter of Uncle Jing - my status in the family is much more important than many people think!" If you were my husband, my parents and brothers, you would never be stingy! Moreover, I grew up under the watchful eye of your sister's parents-in-law, and their children are not around, and they have always treated me and my brother as if they were their own children! Your sister's father-in-law, the one I called Jiang Sibo, is an indispensable person for the Jiang family now! β
"Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing are dead, and the Jiang family's big house and third room have no direct children to meddle in the military power, but they will never give up because of this! Now the only one who can stop the Jiang family is the Jiang family! The only one who can stop the eldest master and the third master of the Jiang family is the fourth master of the Jiang family - Uncle Jiang! β
"The fourth room of the Jiang family can't draw suitable manpower to come to the Zhenxi Army now, even if there is no you, the general of Zhenbei can only choose to support me!" Qiu Jinglan was still indifferent, "Miss Ou's family background and connections can bring me substantial benefits, but so, it can't reach the point of impressing me!" β
Ou Qinglan was silent for a moment.
Just when Qiu Jinglan was about to say a few more hurtful words and walked away, she said quietly: "Okay, then I won't talk about my family background, I will only talk about myself!" β
