Chapter 8: Not Dying and Uncomfortable Stars (I)
Qiu Xuanlan's sudden face turned around and made Mei Xue and Swing frown: "The county lord really wants to know, why don't you ask when you write to Gongzi, if Gongzi allows it, we won't hide it." []β
"Shazhou is so far away, is it convenient to exchange letters?" Qiu Yulan didn't have the patience to wait, and said with a sneer, "And when Fang Swing complained that my brother hadn't returned to Beijing until now, I didn't pay so much attention to his opinion!" β
Earlier, when she noticed that Qiu Jinglan was hiding a lot of things from herself, she tried to get to the bottom of it, but Qiu Jinglan just didn't tell her - the previous talk with Qiu Feng also ended in failure - now it is easy to have Mei Xue and Swing, two breakthroughs, Qiu Jinglan will not let go of the opportunity stupidly!
So he sternly threatened, "You have to say it today!" If you don't say it, you have to say it! Don't think that the Jiang family has been able to keep you so peaceful these days! Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, it just so happens that the Jiang family is going to leave Deng Yi's mother and son who were taken away by Qiu Nie, and they will directly hang you on the city to lure Qiu Nie to appear! Wait until the three of you are ready......"
Mei Xue's face was awe-struck when she heard this, and she interrupted in a deep voice: "Even if the county lord doesn't think about the love of flesh and blood, doesn't he even care about the son's plans?!" The county lord should know a little about the methods of the three of us, right? Do you think that after this time, Childe will never need us again? The reason why I am in a hurry to ask Childe for compensation is also because I am afraid that the next thing will be delayed and affect Childe's planning - if you don't believe it, you can write to Childe and ask Childe! β
Her words made Qiu Yulan very embarrassed: Believe it, that person is not easy to move, looking at the appearance of these two people, they will definitely not confess if they are not punished! If you don't believe it, I'm really afraid of Qiu Jinglan!
"After all, it's not good for my brother!" Qiu Yulan thought about it, considering that Qiu Jinglan had a big plan, he didn't dare to destroy his chess pieces for the sake of a momentary anger, so he had to find an excuse to step down and send someone to send Mei Xue and the swing back to the other courtyard, but he was really unhappy in his heart, so he complained to Jiang Yashuang who came out from behind the screen, "You said how old I am, and I'm not a three-year-old child, don't tell me about this and that!" Now I want to scare people, for fear of causing him trouble! If he had given me some breath earlier, would I have been so passive today?! I don't know if what Mei Xue said is true or not! β
Jiang Yashuang understands Qiu Jinglan's style of taking care of everything: "Brother, this is also a love for you, since you can bear it, why bother to hurt you together?" You see, many things in our family, we also discuss things between brothers, and we don't tell our sisters and sisters. β
The male heir has a high status, and the corresponding responsibilities are of course greater.
Jiang Yashuang felt that Qiu Jinglan didn't tell her sisters about the trouble, which was a sign of being responsible, considerate and responsible.
It's just that he can understand his brother-in-law, but Qiu Yulan doesn't think so-she sneered: "What do you think of such a big husband? I don't say it's because you look down on women! If I were my brother's brother instead of my sister, I think he would have consulted with me, right? Even Mei Xue and Swing know something, but I, the person who claims to be the most painful to him, don't know anything! β
"Have you forgotten that I used to be beaten and scolded by my cousins when they wanted to, and they couldn't fight back? As for my brother treating you as the pearl of his palm, this is no secret for a long time - this is considered to look down on his own sisters, so what is the life of us men? Jiang Yashuang couldn't cry or laugh, teased a few words, and said, "In short, my brother is also a good intention!" If you don't like him doing this, go back and explain to him slowly, he is your sister, and he will definitely not make you unhappy. β
"And you said that you are hiding it from your sisters, so you want to hide it from me even more, right?" Qiu Yulan was angry, where is it easy to coax, sneered, stared at him and asked, "How many things have you hidden from me?" Before my brother left and was seriously injured, what did you not think about hiding it?! β
ββ¦β¦ That's also afraid that you are worried! Jiang Yashuang didn't expect his wife to criticize her brother-in-law, and the spearhead actually turned to herself, and she felt wronged in her heart, and argued, "Later, you found the clue, didn't I tell you right away?" β
Qiu Yulan said angrily: "Who knows if it's another lie to coax me!" When the swing held me hostage before, my brother also showed me a card, and I was so moved that he really told me the truth from the bottom of his heart! As a result, I listened to the meaning of those two today, and they made an appointment to show me the acting together! I really don't know how I can ask him to deceive him like this!! β
Jiang Yashuang knew that this was because his brother-in-law was not in front of him, and he spoke for him, but he became a scapegoat, so he quickly changed his tone: "When you say this, my brother is really too much!" But it's just brother, I didn't lie to you! β
"Who knows about Mei Xue and the swing, will you come here again tomorrow and tomorrow?" Qiu Yulan gritted her teeth, "Seeing that I don't doubt it, I'm very happy to lie to me, isn't it?!" You think I'm so coaxed, and I can just find a reason to mess around in the future, right?! It's not ...... that honest people are easy to bully these days."
The more Jiang Yashuang listened, the more the corners of her mouth twitchedβand finally stood up simply!
Qiu Yulan thought that he couldn't hold back and was going to quarrel with himself, and suddenly glared at him with high fighting spirit!
As a result, after Jiang Yashuang stood up, she lifted the corner of her robe and tugged into her belt, stepped in front of her, and hugged her horizontally!
"What are you doing?!" Qiu Yulan was stunned, then struggled, and said angrily, "What do you want to do in the blue sky and white day?!" Put me down!! β
"I think I'm so good-tempered, you're getting more and more unreasonable!" Jiang Yashuang has always been obedient to her, but this time she ignored it, and said lightly while carrying her into the inner room, "The so-called no rules are not a circle, and it is better to follow the rules when you should give the rules, so as not to make any more trouble!" β
Before speaking, he had already walked to the couch, and he didn't care about Qiu Yulan's madness, he directly pressed her down on the brocade quilt, and said with a sneer, "Don't think that if I am reluctant to beat you, I won't be able to clean you up!! β
β¦β¦ At dusk, Qiu Yulan, who had been holding her husband in her arms and closing her eyes for a long time, was able to gather the strength to speak. The smiling gaze of Jiang Yashuang above her head made her want to pounce on him and bite him, but she didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He said listlessly: "Who did Qiu Nie kill for his brother?" What did his brother promise him? Do you know this? β
"This is my brother's arrangement, so I naturally have no way of knowing." Jiang Yashuang played with his wife's long hair scattered on his chest, chuckled, and said, "However, Mei Xue and Swing both said that the task has been completed for several months, so they came to urge the payment. Among the major events that happened a few months ago, only ...... should be related to the assassination Regicide?! β
Qiu Yulan was shocked: "Is the death of the first emperor?" Although Empress Dowager Gu has never admitted it, she is definitely inseparable from her - could it be that the person who started it was Qiu Nie?! β
Then he frowned, "If that's the case, then the person who instructed Qiu Nie should be the Empress Dowager Gu or the Gu family, how could it be the elder brother?!" At that time, my brother was far away in Shazhou, so it was unlikely that he would have instructed Qiu Nie to do this, right? And according to Mei Xue and Swing, the scene where they held me hostage before was also deliberately acting to complete the task given by my brother! That was years ago! At that time, what did my brother ask them to kill the king? β
At that time, the signs of competition for storage only appeared, and the two queens competed, and it was difficult to say who would kill the deer. In case the Empress Dowager wins, even if the first emperor dies, and the Empress Dowager Gu is promoted to the Empress Dowager, she is not still the regent!
And at that time, he hadn't married into the Jiang family yet, and Qiu Jinglan's favorite sister chose Xunyuxi! Therefore, there is no possibility that he plans to form an alliance with the Jiang family, and after arranging the killing of the king, let the Jiang family seize this opportunity to kill the Empress Dowager Gu......
Jiang Yashuang said in a lazy tone: "When Fang Cai Qiuqian mentioned what his brother asked Qiu Nie to do, he said 'business' and 'task', but he didn't say killing. β
"Huh?"
"Maybe my brother didn't mean to anyone in the first place, but just set a purpose." Jiang Yashuang said, "As long as Qiu Nie can achieve this goal, even if the task is completed, as for how many people Qiu Nie killed and did in order to achieve this goal, it is up to Qiu Nie to judge it himself, and my brother will neither care nor make requests - after all, after Qiu Nie and the three of them are put into the Guangyang Palace, if they often interact with their brother, it will be difficult not to be discovered!" β
After a pause, he continued, "It's as if you entrusted 'Tianya' to send the Lian family's hid and Concubine Lian's dowry list from Lanxi to the capital, and your task for them is to deliver the dowry list completely...... You don't care, you just need the list anyway! β
ββ¦β¦ So, the task that my brother gave him was the destruction of the Gu clan? Qiu Yulan felt that this guess was the most likely, "But what is the reward?" β
"I don't know about this either!" Jiang Yashuang smiled meaningfully, "Brother's net worth...... It's hard to say! β
Although the Qiu family has not been prominent to the point of the Jiang family, it can be regarded as a real nobleman in terms of wealth and nobility - Qiu Jinglan's city is deep, Jiang Yashuang is not sure what this brother-in-law has in his hands?
Since you can't eat accurately, you can only write to ask.
So before the reply to the last letter arrived, Qiu Yulan personally wrote it and chased another letter on the road.
Shazhou is far away from Beijing, and the road is not easy to walk, even if it is the reply to the previous letter, it is estimated that it will not be received until the end of the year.
So after the second letter was sent, the husband and wife guessed for a while, then pressed down and waited.
At this time, it was already twilight - the autumn and twilight of this year and the beginning of winter, it was the time when Xue Fangmi came out of the pavilion.
Marrying a woman, all parties naturally have to join in the fun.
Although it is said that Qiu Yulan and Xue Fangmi basically have no personal relationship, but in view of the contacts with the Xue family these days, when the Xue family began to set up a flowing water table for her seven days before Xue Fangmi left the pavilion, Qiu Lulan still walked in person.
This flowing water banquet is not a formal banquet, but it is just to earn face for Xue Fangmi, and to entertain congratulatory guests who have nothing to do with the Xue family - such as people passing by, ordinary people, businessmen who want to climb the Xiangmen, etc., as long as they enter the door and say a few good words, they can enter the banquet, and the picture is a lively and festive scene.
With the identity of Qiu Yulan, it is naturally impossible to sit on this kind of seat. So I went directly into the backyard to see Xue Sun as before - after this period of favorability, Xue Sun no longer regarded her as an outsider, and was receiving several elderly ladies who couldn't get out, so he asked his daughter Xue Rongqing: "You accompany the county lord to your little aunt to talk!" β
Qiu Yulan thought that with her relationship with Xue Fangmi, even if Xue Fangmi didn't sweep her face, she would probably be cold.
So on the way there, I talked to Xue Rongqing, and left after a few polite words.
As a result, when she arrived at the place, Xue Fangmi was unusual, and she was grateful for Qiu Yulan's personal arrival, and she said a series of affectionate words without money, which made Qiu Yulan stunned and vigilant!
Sure enough, after not talking for a while, Xue Fangmi beckoned her to go to the flower room to see the flowers she planted herself: "It's the 'Muddy Gold Annunciation', speaking of which, there was still in Princess Ruan's dowry back then!" It's good, let's go take a look? β
Qiu Yulan saw that she wanted to lead herself to a secluded place - she didn't want to agree, but Xue Fangmi just mentioned Princess Ruan, and her refusal was a bit of a distraction, so she dragged Xue Rongqing on: "Let's go?" β
She thought to herself that no matter what tricks Xue Fangmi played, with Xue Rongqing here, at least she could prevent her from reversing black and white and making trouble so that she couldn't get off the stage. As for the rest, Qiu Yulan is not afraid of her!
But on the way to the three of them, a servant woman suddenly appeared, under the pretext that Xue Sun's family was looking for a daughter, and forced Xue Rongqing to leave-at this time, they had already walked to the door of the flower room, Xue Fangmi smiled and said, "In that case, let's go in and see, shall we?" But I don't know ......."
At this point, his true face was revealed, "Qiu, do you dare?" β()
