On this day, I was really fortunate to add a dish - this dish of minced meat and sea cucumber in order to avoid Zhou's mother's nagging had not yet been served, Jiang Yashuang came back first, but did not immediately change into regular clothes and go into the kitchen to eat as usual, but sent someone over to pass the word: "Childe invited Ou Shizi to be a guest, Ou Shizi missed lunch today, Childe asked if he could start eating now?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that there are fewer dishes." Jiang Yashuang occasionally ate the dishes made by Qiu Yulan before marriage, and since she got married, she has always asked her to cook by herself - anyway, there is nothing to be busy with, so Qiu Yulan agreed, but one will eat for two people, and secondly, she doesn't want to work too hard, so she will cook two or three dishes a day...... is used to entertain guests, even if it is a friend of Jiangya Shuang, it is too shabby.

It's just that Mother Li's craftsmanship is actually no worse than her, but it is Jiang Yashuang who loves the house and Wu, so she feels that Qiu Yulan's craftsmanship is even higher than Mother Li. As a result, this mother, who was trusted by Concubine Lian for her cooking skills when she was young, can only cook for her subordinates.

"Go to the big kitchen and pick up some clean dishes." Qiu Yulan ordered, "Then put it on with these dishes I made...... Quietly ask the next nineteen, is it enough? If that's not enough, I'll do a few more. ”

The subordinate took the order and left, and came back in the middle of the morning to say: "The son said that the food is enough, and let him send a few jars of wine." ”

Jiang Yashuang can't drink alcohol at all, and this wine is naturally all prepared for Oubi City.

Qiu Yulan was puzzled when he heard this: "What's wrong with Ou Shizi?" To drink so much alcohol? "Even if Oubi City is massive, wasn't he so hungry that Jiang Yashuang urged him to eat when he came? Shouldn't you fill your stomach first in this case? Why do you have to serve a few jars of wine before you run out of food?

"I don't know, but looking at the faces of the son and the son, the face is not very good, maybe there is something." The subordinate bowed his head and replied.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Yulan muttered to herself, "I don't know if it has anything to do with us?" ”

…… Because Obi City came, the couple didn't use it together for dinner that day.

After Qiu Yulan finished eating the meal that Li's mother cooked alone, she took a shower and changed her clothes, read a few pages of idle books, and saw that Jiang Yashuang had not come back yet, she was puzzled, and was about to send someone to find it, but Jiang Yashuang came back by herself. His face was a little tired, but after entering the door, he still waved back left and right, hugged Qiu Yulan for a while, and was willing to take a bath.

When he returned to the room after changing into his regular clothes, he was in better spirits, and without waiting for Qiu Yulan to ask anything, he picked her up with a smile and threw herself into the mandarin tent......

After lingering, Qiu Yulan had the time to ask Ou Bicheng about it: "First, it is a few jars of wine, and I heard that your face is not good-looking, which makes me worry about it later...... What's going on? ”

"This is Bicheng's private matter, and he came here for this because of this." Jiang Yashuang played with her fingers and said lazily, "The fourth aunt and grandfather intended to give Cousin Xin to the Seventh Prince, but Cousin Xin has been in love with Bicheng for a long time...... Today, she suddenly ran to ask Bicheng to give her an explanation, and Bicheng was so frightened. The wall ran to the Hanlin Courtyard to find me, but I didn't think of a suitable way to get there, no, I simply got myself drunk. ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned: "Cousin Naxin? ”

"I was pulled away by A-Xing." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "Bicheng doesn't really want to marry Cousin Xin, but he can't bear Cousin Xin marrying the Seventh Prince with grievances...... He came to me about this, where can I do it? ”

Speaking of this, he asked, "By the way, my brother's filial piety is almost full......"

"What do you mean?" Qiu Yulan was annoyed when she heard this, and slapped him lightly, "You know that she likes Oubi City, and you actually want to push her to my brother?!" You say my brother no one wants?! ”

Jiang Yashuang hurriedly said: "Where do you want to go?" How could I possibly want Cousin Xin to marry my brother? I just suddenly thought of some recent changes in the Hanlin Academy, and planned for my brother Xiaoman's recovery! ”

Qiu Yulan turned her anger into joy at this time, kissed him to show encouragement and apology, and asked sweetly, "What are you going to let my brother do?" It's not that I'm not fat! ”

"What kind of fat difference can there be in the Hanlin Academy? Is Qinggui's reputation comparable to that of fat difference? Jiang Yashuang couldn't cry or laugh, leaned down and bit her cheek lightly, before saying, "There is good news that the new Hanlin scholar Cheng Jin is Xue Xiang's person." He couldn't have treated his brother badly. ”

After talking about Qiu Jinglan's recovery, the topic unconsciously turned back to Ou Bicheng and Xin Fubing: "...... In this way, Xin Fubing doesn't want to marry the Seventh Prince, so she wants Ou Bicheng to come forward for her to block this marriage? ”

Qiu Yulan always felt that something was wrong......

"Why didn't she go and tell the elders herself?"

"Her last name is Xin." Jiang Yashuang was a little helpless, "Although my little uncle disapproves a little, her grandmother has already agreed, and it is estimated that her parents will also agree after receiving the letter - they are also desperate, otherwise, with her character, she will not find Bicheng directly." ”

Qiu Yulan sighed: "It's really tricky...... But, if you just don't want to marry the Seventh Prince, can't you do a favor? Didn't you say that the queen mother has always loved you? She had a good impression of Xin Fubing, especially before leaving the cabinet, this one had accompanied her with Zhuang Man, so she would naturally have to help say a few words.

"So Bicheng went to find me." Jiang Yashuang groaned, "This matter is more troublesome, because I know that the fourth aunt has no way to choose Cousin Xin." There are many girls in the Jiang family's in-laws, but there are not many who are qualified to marry the Seventh Prince, and they have to count their age and talent, so as not to be compared with the second miss of the Tang family and Princess Shou'an...... In short, if you don't choose Cousin Xin, it is very likely that she will be the young lady of the Dou family, and this is what my aunt is reluctant to do. ”

After a pause, he added, "Besides, I took a half-day leave to see Cousin Xin today, and she told me that if Bicheng is unwilling to marry her like this, then she will also accept her fate, and she is willing to marry the Seventh Prince." ”

"......," Qiu Yulan asked, "Then why did Bicheng come to our house to get drunk?" "Didn't you stop pestering him?

"The problem is that when she says this, her face is pale, and it makes people worry when she looks at it." Jiang Yashuang smiled bitterly, "To be honest, even I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about it and take the narrow road." ”

In the final analysis, it is still the concubine who is ruthless...... But in his life, Ou Bicheng clearly has no affection for Xin Fubing, even if Xin Fubing goes out to ask for help, he will run away...... You can't force Xin Fubing to marry someone in order to make Xin Fubing better, right? So what if Opi City wants to be narrow......

This is really a mess - Qiu Yulan helped think about it for a while, and also felt a headache: "Forget it, settle it!" ”

We'll talk about it tomorrow!

Jiang Yashuang kissed her, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

It's just that since the trouble has been brought to the door, he can't hide for a while - the next day, Jiang Yashuang got up and went on a business trip, and it was impossible for Oubi City to continue to stay in the guest room, so they had to leave together.

As a result, before noon, Ou Qinglan accompanied the pale Xin Fubing to the door: "My brother came here yesterday?" Is he still there? ”

"Gone with Nineteen in the morning." Qiu Yulan also felt pity when she saw Xin Fubing, who had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days, and told them that after Ou Bicheng was gone, she must leave them to sit, "How did it look like this?" ”

After sitting down, Qiu Yulan found that Ou Qinglan, who had always been bright and bright, was not much better today, and only said that she was taking care of Xin Fubing all night, so she didn't ask much, and only said to Xin Fubing: "Your matter, I confided in me a little bit yesterday, I hope you don't get angry, I originally wanted to give you an idea, but I never thought of a good one." ”

Xin Fubing smiled desolately: "What do I have to be angry about?" Yesterday such a big face was thrown out, what am I afraid of? ”

"Don't say that." Ou Qinglan said in a low voice, "Not everyone is as ruthless as my brother...... Right? ”

Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment before she realized that this "right" was asking herself, and then she suddenly thought that Ou Qinglan's haggard was not necessarily because she cared too much about Xin Fubing, but because of Xin Fubing's initiative to force marriage.

…… However, my brother is definitely more ruthless than your brother, okay!

Qiu Yulan was embarrassed for a while, and she really couldn't say the answer that Ou Qinglan was looking forward to, so she said vaguely: "Anyway, now think about it first, why don't you marry into the palace?" As for Bicheng...... Since he was very embarrassed about this matter yesterday, he may ...... And ......"

"Come on!" Seeing that she didn't answer herself, Ou Qinglan was silent for a moment, then raised her head at this moment and said lightly, "My brother I know very well, if he didn't have someone in his heart, he would never refuse Cousin Xin's request in this situation!" It is even more impossible to flip. Escape from the wall! ”

Qiu Yulan didn't expect her to suddenly say such a thing, she was taken aback, and quickly looked at Xin Fubing - I know that Miss Ou is straightforward, but you speak so frankly, what if Xin Fubing can't stand it?

But I saw Xin Fubing's long eyelashes trembling, and the hand holding the handkerchief clenched tightly for a moment, so tight that the back of the hand was full of green tendons!

But after a while, she relaxed again and said lightly: "I know, I can't get into his eyes." At most, he will treat me as a cousin who turns the corner. ”

"This ...... Maybe it's fate, right? As soon as Ou Qinglan was exposed, Qiu Yulan didn't know what to say now, so she persuaded her, "People are ...... This ......"

She was racking her brains to think of words, and Shen Shui quietly came in and said, "The fourteenth young lady is here." ”

"And the water gold is coming? Quite a lot of persuasion! Qiu Yulan's breath was not fully relaxed, but when Xin Fubing heard the words "Fourteenth Young Lady", her face changed, and she got up: "Since the nineteenth cousin-in-law has guests, then I won't bother you." A-Xing, let's go! ”

Ou Qinglan answered, and also stood up together to say goodbye.

Qiu Yulan noticed Xin Fubing's obvious hostility towards Shui Jin, and was very surprised, although He Shui Jin was calculating, but they were very measured, even if people figured it out, it would be difficult to turn their faces with her - for example, Qiu Tuolan and Jiang Yashuang could see her recent small movements, but they couldn't go to the door to quarrel with these things, right?

And what does Xin Fubing need to calculate with water and gold?

Could it be that letting her marry the Seventh Prince was Heshuijin's idea?

The problem is that He Shui Jin hasn't entered the palace recently! She has a granddaughter-in-law, and it is even more impossible to go and Qin Guogong to suggest the lifelong event of the granddaughter of the Marquis of Jibei.

"I don't see that you guys are very good-looking, so let's rest here for a while." Qiu Yulan grabbed them, "You go to my study - there is a couch in it - go to the settlement meeting, I will take your fourteen sisters-in-law to the garden to talk, and I won't let you take your face!" ”

Sure enough, when she heard that she didn't meet with He Shuijin, Xin Fubing's face softened a little, and after thinking about it, she said, "Thank you for your nineteenth cousin." ”

"Don't talk about it later." Qiu Yulan shook her hand vigorously and said solemnly, "No matter what, taking care of your body is always the most important, there is bird's nest stewed in my small kitchen, this should be about the same, you go to the study and wait a little, eat and then rest!" ”

After appeasing Ou and Xin to leave, Qiu Yulan changed into a guest's dress before walking into the garden - because it takes two entrances to get to the master's house from the gate, and only needs to wear a garden to walk through the garden, so the Jiang family usually walks through the back door of the garden.

At this moment, he and Shui Jinzheng folded a pair of red-crowned cranes with a pair of red-crowned cranes, saw her coming, threw the flowers into the pool, hurriedly got up and came over, lowered his voice and asked, "Cousin Xin is annoyed with me?" ”
