The Liu family knew about Xiao Xiang of the Yongning Hou Mansion and the brothers of the Qu family.

At this time, seeing that the Hou Shizi of Yongning and Jiang Jinchang came together, except for Qu Qingyan, the other three people all brought a little compliment on their faces in a timely manner.

Qu Qingyan only felt that this Yongning Hou Shizi was somewhat similar to Zhu Jinrui, and his whole body had a bit of a cold atmosphere, but Zhu Jinrui was the prince, and there was a bit of nobility in it.

It's not like Jiang Jinfeng, who makes people feel that this person is crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood at a glance, and that evil breath makes people can't help but slow down their breathing.

His gaze fell directly on Qu Qingwen and nodded slightly.

With the two 'coquettes' of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, it seems a little inappropriate to find someone to hide under a tree like this.

Qu Qingxi summoned the subordinates of the Qian Mansion and found a room to entertain guests to rest.

Not long after they entered the courtyard, the guests who wanted to intersect with the prince of Yongning all rushed over when they heard the news, and in a small wing room, there were people standing in front of the door.

According to Qu Qingyan's previous temperament, as long as there are more people, she will subconsciously want to find a secluded place to hide, but after taking the township exam, she will have to take the exam next year, and she can no longer ignore the living people like before.

Although he has been in Beijing for less than a year, Qu Qingwen, who was brought up by Qu Wenhai, has already adapted to life in Beijing, and the smiles on his face are extremely calm regardless of whether he has met each other or not.

Qu Qingyan put on a kind smile on his face like him, someone came over and chatted a few words just right, and Qu Qingwen was on the side, but she had already begun to adapt to such an occasion in a quarter of an hour, and the exploration in the eyes of everyone would not make her more embarrassed.

It's just that the more calm the smile on her face, the more dazzling it is in Yang Jianxian's eyes.

"You come out with me."

Yang Jianxian grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room without hesitation, and the noon sun fell on the heads and shoulders of the two through the branches, bringing out a few mottled and dark shadows.

Qu Qingyan shook her wrist, but the other party was too hard, and she couldn't withdraw her hand after shaking it a few times.

"Let go."

She really couldn't figure out why Yang Jianxian had to be so crooked, there was no possibility between them whether she would restore her true identity or not, she could see this fact, why the person in front of her was unwilling to accept it.

The big hand on his wrist became more and more forceful, and Yang Jianxian stared at her eyes with some stubbornness: "Why not you?" ”

What why?

Qu Qingyan didn't know what he was talking about at all, he just wanted to get rid of Yang Jianxian's entanglement: "Today's birthday of Lord Qian, you and I must always bring some sincerity when we come to Daoxi, are you sure you have to do this?" ”

Lord Qian's three words slightly recalled Yang Jianxian's sanity, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Qu Qingyan quickly took two steps back.

"Lord Yang has very high expectations for Brother Yi An, I think Brother Yi An must not want to disappoint Lord Yang, some things should be cut off if they are illusory."

Her words were no longer as euphemistic as before, and the coldness between her words made Yang Jianxian stop stepping forward, and someone around passed by the two of them, and their searching eyes lingered on the two of them, making Qu Qingyan subconsciously widen the distance a few points.

Yang Jianxian lowered his head, and finally showed a bit of self-deprecation on his face: "Brother Qingyan is bothered, and I understand." ”

Understood something, he didn't say Qu Qingyan or ask, he couldn't stay in the cramped and narrow room anymore, and walked out of the courtyard around Qu Qingyan.

Qu Qingyan's clenched fists were full of cold sweat, fortunately, she won the bet again, and her grandfather and future are more important in Yang Jianxian's new heart.

The autumn wind blew, stirring the hem of her clothes, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Jinfeng standing behind her, and her whole body was still cold and unapproachable, and she hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the son." ”

Jiang Jinfeng followed Jiang Jinchang behind him, and the two walked past her silently, and a cold snort that seemed to be absent floated into her ears.

Qu Qingyan rubbed his earlobe, this Jiang Jinchang knew that he was unhappy for his friend.

"Fourth brother, why are you here, I'm still looking for you in the room." Qu Qingwen took Qu Qingxi and the two of them out and saw her standing under the eaves of the porch, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Qu Qingyan only smiled and looked over: "Come out and breathe." ”

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that the main hall with five rooms and nine frames was particularly open, and the female dependents who came to congratulate them on their birthdays with a screen in the middle were sitting on the other side.

The seats of the juniors of each family are all in one place, only Jiang Jinfeng, as the prince of Yongning, was invited to the main table, Qu Qingyan can obviously feel that the eyes on the other end of the screen are almost focused on the main seat Jiang Jinfeng alone.

Jiang Jinfeng is now twenty-five years old, and he married a few years ago, but his wife was a little thin, and when he gave birth to his first child, he gave birth to the first child for two days and two nights due to improper fetal position, and then forcibly induced labor, but the child was born, but his wife did not survive it, and the confinement was not finished.

The child was born without a mother, Jiang Jinfeng stayed in the northwest all the year round, and was carried to the room by Mrs. Yongning Hou to raise him without a father and a mother.

Although Jiang Jinfeng is a widower, he is a hot widower, there are no concubines in the room, only one or two rooms, and the backyard is considered clean, so the wives of each family want to marry their daughters to the Hou Mansion to enjoy the wealth, and they don't mind the identity of filling the house at all.

Qu Qingyan was thinking about these gossip in a mess, and suddenly heard a report from outside the hall, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness King Yu has arrived." ”

How did these two get here?

Qu Qingyan followed everyone to get up, and saw two figures, one red and one bright blue, appearing in front of the door.

Several elders in the main table had already followed Qian Shuben to the front of the hall, Qian Shuben was dressed in a festive crimson straight body, his face was full of smiles, and he bowed to greet the two distinguished guests: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the King Yu are coming, and they are not welcomed, and they hope to atone for their sins." ”

Zhu Jinyu raised her hand, and the smile on her alienated face was disobedient: "Today's government affairs are small, so I came to join in the fun, and Lord Qian is not surprised." ”

Where did Qian Shuben dare to say more, he was busy welcoming people in with a smile, and vacated the main seat to the two distinguished guests, Zhu Jinrui still had the same look as others owed him a silver ticket, with a cold look on his face, and only looked at Jiang Jinfeng with a slight ease.

Qian Shu didn't expect that there would be only a birthday banquet, first he invited the prince of Yongning, and then the prince and the king of Yu, he smiled on his face and didn't know what he was thinking.

Since Zhu Jinrui entered the door, the atmosphere around Qu Qingyan has become a little weird, and there have been vigorous rumors with Zhu Jinrui in April, and at this time, less than half a year ago, everyone still has that residual memory in their minds, and their eyes are a little subtle when they fall on her.

Qu Qingyan didn't expect to bump into Zhu Jinrui here, she spent three months coming to Jinan, and when she came back to see these people and things that were not familiar in the first place, she actually had a subtle state of mind.

Zhu Jinrui's gaze swept with everyone's gaze, and she sat there calmly, with her head down, her face calm.

"Fourth brother, wait a minute, you will go home with me as soon as the birthday banquet is over, you know?"

"I know, big brother can rest assured."

Qu Wenhai's little servant came, Qu Qingyan didn't hear it and knew what the other party said with Qu Qingwen, she didn't care much about raising a glass with everyone, took a sip, and then lifted the chopsticks and put something in the bowl at random.

This kind of banquet noodles are eaten very slowly, and officials at all levels will come to celebrate their birthdays and have a heart of dividing and pulling relationships, and there are nobles in this heart becoming more and more hot, and before the wine has passed the third round, there are already people lining up to the main table to toast.

Qu Qingwen and Yang Jianxian, the eldest grandsons with some identities, also had to come over with a wine glass, Qu Qingyan sat boringly in the hall, and the people around her became more and more stupid, so she followed out of the hall together.

Under the corridor outside the hall, there were people chatting in twos and threes, she didn't like to socialize, and she especially didn't like it after drinking, so she didn't bother to get into the crowd, so she was introduced into the side room by the next person to sober up.

This body is easy to get drunk when it is drunk, her face is flushed, and her limbs are a little weak, but what only comforts her a little is that her consciousness is still sober and she will not do anything terrible.

There were two tables of eight immortals on the left and right in the room, and there were two people sitting around the table on the left talking softly, and she sat on the right side and dozed off with her head hanging her eyes.

The whispering in the room disappeared at some point, she fell asleep and nodded suddenly, almost slammed on the table, half of her sleepiness was gone, and suddenly she felt a bright blue figure sitting beside her, and she raised her eyes to see a pair of cold and hard eyes looking at her without any temperature.

Her wine woke up in an instant.

"The grass people have seen the prince."

Qu Qingyan got up and wanted to salute, but if this kind of bench stepped out directly, it would be extremely indecent, she could only stand there and hesitate to say something, when she suddenly heard a sentence.

"This king does not like to raise his eyes to look at people."

“……”

She stared down at him a few times, and it took a long time for her brain, which was paralyzed by alcohol, to understand what she meant, and she sat back unceremoniously because she was too lazy to be polite with the strength of the wine.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"You're back in Shandong?"

"Yes, the grass people are fortunate to be able to end up in Jinan Mansion."

"It's kind of a rush."

The cold voice was slightly mocking, and Qu Qingyan directly pushed back with a sense of wine: "The prince's words are wrong, the grass people are just gambling, but they just won the bet, and it has nothing to do with whether they are in a hurry or not." ”

The same drunkard theory is obviously not wise, especially since this drunkard is still very unimpressive to burp.

Zhu Jinrui's flat brows brought out a disgusted arc, swept her a few times with cold eyes, got up and walked out of the room.

This person came here to mock her for such a non-yin and non-yang sentence? Qu Qingyan rubbed the corners of his forehead, and swayed up to find Qu Qingwen.

Since she used decoction a few days a month, her body has become more and more sensitive to alcohol, and she is afraid that she will have to stop drinking.

When she woke up completely, it was already sunset, and Mama Rong brought a bowl of sweet soup to serve her.

"Young master, you go out and drink less in the future, there is a young master today who can send you back, if there is no one around next time, you are afraid that it will be ......"

"What time is it?"

She pushed open the half-drunk soup bowl and looked out the window, where she saw a little golden red in the twilight.

"It's a moment."

"Change clothes, the second door has not been closed yet, and I should go to see my mother for two days after I came back."

As soon as Qu Qingyan stood up, Mama Rong was already a little excited to help her take out all the robes and clothes, "The third lady has been talking about the young master, and I am looking forward to the young master's return from the big exam to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, you go to see the lady, the lady will be happy." ”

Mama Rong helped her pull her hair into a bun with her hands and feet, and brought a headscarf, wanting to accompany her to the inner house, but she was stopped by a look, and could only pull her neck and keep looking in the direction where she disappeared.

If she could, Qu Qingyan really didn't want to go to Lanshan Courtyard, Qin's previous words and deeds were like knives poking at her heart, but she was the biological mother of this body, even if she had a grudge, she could only put it in her heart, and no one could see it.

"You still know how to come! I arrived at the house yesterday, and you only came to see me now. ”

When Qin saw Qu Qingyan's figure, he rushed out of the room, and regardless of whether there were any people in the courtyard, his fingers fell on her head and counted them.

"Since the mother's body is fine, the son will go back first."

"You dare to go!"

The Qin clan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm and dragged her into the room, "I don't care, you have to find a way for her to deal with your sixth sister, it is simply wishful thinking that a poor man still wants to marry the concubine of our squire's mansion." ”

Qu Qingyan's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his smile was a little sarcastic: "What's wrong with lifting people?" If he can go to high school in the spring of next year, his grandfather will definitely not stand idly by, but whether he stays in the capital or goes out, the sixth sister is also a righteous official wife, and she may be able to get a decree in the future. ”

"You don't talk to me about this, anyway, I just didn't like that short and frustrated man, I just married your sixth sister to Yang Jianxian as a concubine, and I didn't let her marry the poor man."

Qin Shi let go of Qu Qingyan's arm and began to splash, the higher her voice grew, and a door panel could no longer close her thoughts.

"As a concubine?" Qu Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, she looked at the Qin family expressionlessly, and only looked at the Qin family with a very weak heart, "Is this idea yours or the sixth sister's?" ”

"You, what do you care about so much, let you find a way, you just go." Qin's eyes fluttered, and he didn't dare to look at Qu Qingyan again.

"I remember that you used to tell your grandfather that I was fine, always going in and out of the inner house, meddling in women's affairs."

Qu Qingyan's mood was extremely calm, Xu had already expected Qin's reaction, she hugged her hands in front of her and only coldly dropped this sentence.

The Qin clan didn't know how to argue more and more, and only shouted sharply: "You are so big and hard-winged, you dare not listen to me, right?" I'll let you figure out a way, you can quickly give it to me, don't worry so much about the rest! ”

"Have you forgotten the concubines you sold before? Forgot about Aunt Chen, who was sold by you? ”

Aunt Chen...... The three words that had been lost for a long time pierced Qin's dumb hole like a finger, making her lose her voice in an instant, Qu Qingyan stepped forward and looked at Qin's condescendingly: "Do you really think that being a concubine is a commendable thing?" ”
