Cicada Yi's face wrinkled as if it was a bitter bun, and he said in a sharp voice: "Miss, where have you been for more than ten days?" Even if you go far away, you should say hello to me, why don't you want that traitor to make you angry, you don't even want me? You've never been like this before! ”

Speaking of this, she noticed that He Angelica had a fresh-looking scar on his jaw about an inch long, and couldn't help but shout and ask again, and the Qing'er who listened to it had a big head, and hurriedly suppressed her various questions and asked: "Meng Xuan came to propose?" When was this? Why didn't Mrs. Luo agree? Where did Meng Xuan not pass? ”

He Angelica was not too impatient, took a sip of tea, and waited for the cicada clothes to tell the truth.

But the cicada stall spread his hands and said: "I don't know how many sons of the Meng family came to propose, I also heard from Pomegranate - yesterday the old lady came to you for the first time, and the people from the Meng family who proposed marriage had not yet come, and they were already looking for you very urgently." The two grandmothers went back to report that you and Miss Qing were playing in the mountains and rivers, and it was not easy to find people. Before the old lady could speak, the Meng family sent two housekeepers and two matchmakers to come to the door to propose marriage. At that time, Pomegranate was not waiting in front of her, it was Dandelion who went to find her, saying that the Meng family came to ask to marry Miss, but the old lady refused. ”

"Why? Is the Meng family's dowry bad or the conditions offered are not good? Qing'er asked.

Cicada Yi shook her head: "Pomegranate came to Taoyao Courtyard with a group of old ladies who sent a mother-in-law to find Miss, and she didn't have time to talk to me in detail, and I don't know if Miss is satisfied with the Meng family's relatives, so she will worry about that, and then I didn't ask Pomegranate again." ”

"Fooling around?!" Qing'er glared unhappily, "Go, go!" Hurry up and ask your young lady why her wishful husband didn't pass the old lady's level! What kind of wind is your old lady smoking, Meng Xuan is not up to the mark, and there is no man in the world who can marry! A possibility suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asked, "Could it be that they did not marry wives, but took concubines, so the old lady did not agree?" ”

Cicada Yi shook her head and said: "How do I know that this time it is the main person who proposes marriage, since Miss read Chengxu, in previous years, there was usually a person who came to propose marriage every month, and Miss had never been concerned." And when Meng Sangongzi lived in Xichang Garden, didn't he send a few baskets of lotus seed snacks to Miss, I thought that he was the one who proposed marriage this time, and then I thought that Miss hated his snacks very much, of course I put this matter aside. ”

"It shouldn't be," He Angelica replied for Cicada Yi, "The Meng family has a high threshold and the Luo family has more than one point, and my background can't be taken out, even if the matchmaker mentions a concubine, the possibility of the old lady agreeing is also very high, even if she doesn't respond immediately, there is no reason to refuse." It seems that something is still going on at home, and it is a matter related to me, so that the old lady is not ready to marry me for the time being. ”

Qing'er was also anxious for He Angelica, and couldn't help but think about the bad place, and speculated: "Could it be related to Luo Baiqiong's release?" Luo Baiqiong is the first place in the banquet, the pomp is not small, and she is not affected by her mother at all, could it be that Luo Baiqiong said something bad about you that made the old lady dislike you? ”

He Angelica asked Cicada Yi: "When did the visitor from the capital who talked to the old lady come to Luo's house?" ”

"I heard it was early this morning."

He Angelica smiled: "Then it has nothing to do with this matter at all, the old lady is looking for me in a hurry, and it has been since yesterday." And why Luo Baiqiong was released, I probably know in my heart. After a deep groan, she instructed, "Cicada Yi, you go to Fushouyuan and say that I am well and have just come back from the Feng family, and after bathing and changing, I will go to the old lady to say goodbye." ”

Qing'er was not at ease: "Let's first inquire about why they are looking for you, and then inform them of your whereabouts, in case the old lady listens to what cursed doll and abortion pill that others planted against you like last time, no matter what 3721 will set up a court to interrogate you first, and you are now as weak as a sheep, where is their opponent?" ”

He Angelica didn't think about it, but still sent Cicada Yi away according to her original words, and said after she left: "As soon as the Sun family leaves, there are no enemies among the elders of the Luo family, and a few of the juniors are too tender. Besides, the last time Sun used abortion pills to frame me, the old lady still cared about her feelings and Guan Mo's attitude towards me. This time, if it is still a mess born by someone in the Luo family, there is no character who can be more ruthless than the Sun family, and what about Meng Xuan compared to Guan Mo? ”

"Huh?" Qing'er said that she couldn't understand He Angelica's high-IQ logic.

He Angelica broke it a little more: "For example, Luo Baishao did a bad thing to me, causing the old lady to be angry with me, and it happened that the Meng family came to propose marriage, and the old lady saw that I had such a great creation and was so 'promising', even if I was originally annoyed, it would become happy to see me." But the old lady unexpectedly rejected the Meng family, which shows that there is really something terrible happening, and it is much more than the Meng family. ”

"Bigger than the Meng family? Or is it something that concerns you? Qing'er couldn't figure it out, "What's that?" ”

He Angelica had one or two vague guesses in his heart, but he couldn't say it well, and said while thinking: "This matter is definitely not an ordinary housework. The old lady's strength is greater than I imagined, what do you think, Luo Baiqiong's mother's reputation is no longer innocent, and the bloodlines of her two daughters are in doubt, plus Luo Baiqiong buried rag dolls under the tree in the ancestral hall and stole the well-being of the Luo family. And the old lady is not a person who misses the old love a lot, and turning her face is also an instantaneous thing, so she kept Luo Baiqiong and Luo Baishao in the Luo family, and eighty percent of them were afraid of the Sun family's face, and they didn't want to make a fuss about it and ask outsiders to talk. It can be seen that the old lady is not an ordinary backhouse woman, her vision is broad and ambitious, the Luo sisters and I are all chips in her hands, and they are the goods to be sold by the Luo family. ”

Qing'er analyzed: "The goods have to be sold at a good price, the Meng family came to buy you, she didn't sell, and she was resolute, could it be said that someone came to buy you one step ahead of the Meng family?" Isn't that right? That big man is the annoying Zhu Quan again? ”

He Angelica still didn't feel like it, and said with a smile while turning back into the inner room to change clothes: "I don't know why, since I heard the news that Zhu Quan had 'died' once in Baisha Villa, an intuition rose in my heart, or a sixth sense, and that strong feeling told me that Zhu Quan, who had 'died' and came back to life, had completely broken off with me, and he would treat me as a stranger in the future." I don't know why I feel like this, but now when I mention Zhu Quan, my heart is not so heavy. I just hope that I can take out my heart's blood as soon as possible and give Lu Jiangbei something to do, and there will be no obstacles from now on. ”

"Blood?" Qing'er was shocked, "You want to use a knife to cut out your own heart?" ”

He Angelica dressed and laced, and did not forget to glance at her: "Is Zhu Quan worth it for me to do this?" If Meng Xuan needs me to use the knife, I will still consider half a cup of tea and then refuse, but if Zhu Quan comes to ask me for my heart's blood as a medicine, I will take a knife and give it to him, wouldn't it be stupid to go home? ”

"Then ...... are you going to do" Qing'er didn't understand at all.

"I'll see when the time comes, and it won't work if I say it thoroughly," He Angelica walked to the dressing table to trim his makeup, and made a grimace at the yellow self in the bronze mirror, frowning and said, "I'm only worried now, which one the old lady 'sold' Luo Baiqiong to, and what position...... Luo Baiqiong has always been at odds with me, originally I asked the old lady to repair the Sun family, which is a secret that only a few people know, and most people think that the Sun family offended the old lady and was punished and imprisoned in the stone room. Luo Chuangu wrote a letter of resignation, which is also the meaning of the old lady. Even if Luo Baiqiong becomes the crown princess and princess one day and avenges her mother, she can only find her own grandmother, maybe she won't take revenge when she thinks of family affection. But Xiaoyou made such a fuss that day, I 'slandered' and framed Sun Meiniang, and afterwards I was scared out of illness by 'weak heart'. Although Sun Meiniang's popularity is poor, maybe there will be someone who wants to avenge her and find my head. ”

Qing'er was angry with Xiaoyou again, and Fang said: "She has a younger brother Sun Huohuo who is an official, I know this, but Luo Baiqiong, that stupid pig, why did she become the princess again?" Who is the crown prince? ”

"That person's name is Sun Yanbin." He Angelica corrected this first, and then explained the matter again. Because the most intimate person now is Qing'er alone, he simply told the eldest grandson that in a few months, His Royal Highness Zhu Yunwen will inherit the throne and become the new emperor's major secret.

Then, she said that on the way to Qingyuan yesterday, the sedan chair was chased by two eunuchs for a few streets, and Liu Sui recognized one of them as a subordinate of the East Palace, and the two mentioned "Your Highness", and the words were in her appearance, and she wanted to take it to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson who is currently very likely to be in Yangzhou, and give a warm mattress and a quilt. At that time, she was not sure that the two were the envoys who were looking for a woman for Zhu Yunwen, so she casually talked nonsense and relied on Luo Baiqiong for this good thing. Unexpectedly, today, the other party really came to the door, and said that the old lady reactivated the abandoned son Luo Baiqiong, looking at the momentum, I am afraid that she is really going to send it to Zhu Yunwen as a person around her.

Qing'er couldn't come back to his senses after listening to it for a long time, Zhu Yunwen was going to be the emperor, and this news was also within the scope of bearing, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's family's third Jin King Zhu Li, the fourth Yan King Zhu Di and the ambitious seventeenth Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunwen is the most authentic and hottest heir to the throne. But Luo Baiqiong is going to be sent to be Zhu Yunwen's woman? It's a bit of a cat's bark – not good! If Luo Baiqiong is lucky enough to become the princess and queen, then it will not be as easy for her to deal with them as a cockroach?

"Xiaoyi," Qing'er shuddered, "Why don't we elope, you use your disguise technique to give us the whole appearance, and when Luo Baiqiong leaves, let's also change places and take root." If she really becomes the climate, she will definitely have to trouble you. ”

He Angelica seriously considered Qing'er's proposal and said with a smile: "I will not accept it for the time being, but if it really goes to that point, I will have to admit it." At that time, Liu Sui pulled Guan Yun out as a shield, and the two eunuchs almost believed it, so we should be glad now that the beauty they found was Luo Baiqiong, not Guan Yun. ”

"Oh? There is such a thing! Qing'er crepe said, "That's really lucky!" Luo Baiqiong is a pig, Guan Yun is a fox, and the pig will be slaughtered in two days, and the fox is born with a fox and a fake tiger. ”

He Angelica finished changing clothes and makeup, looking refreshing and pleasant, but there was a dazzling scar on his chin, so he took a piece of tulle and put it on, and when he saw the old lady, he told her that he had not healed from the cold, and he was afraid that he would give her too sick. was about to instruct Qing'er two more sentences, Zhu Yunwen could not divulge the matter of ascending to the treasure, but there was a knock on the door, He Angelica called in, Liu Sui pushed the door in and said: "Miss, the slave didn't go with you just now, I got lost in the Luofu Garden, I heard someone talking about the draft or not, and your name was mentioned." ”

"Draft?" He Angelica felt like a layer of window paper had been lit through in his heart, and said in surprise, "Could it be that the old lady wants to send me to the draft girl before she agrees to the Meng family's proposal?" ”

Qing'er also knows a little about the draft, because of her natural worship of the royal family, she has specifically understood the relevant draft rules, so she immediately rejects He Angelica's speculation, "Impossible, the draft seems to only pick a daughter-in-law, and someone in the family is an official to have a quota for the election, isn't the Luo family selling medicine for the whole family, where is the quota?" And you don't have the surname Luo, even if you want to choose, there are three golden flowers Luo Baiying, Luo Baiqiong and Luo Baishao to help you carry it, and you are very safe. ”

He Angelica didn't know what he thought, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked "Bao inquired" Liu Sui: "Is the news accurate?" Have you gone up and asked? ”

Liu Sui saw that He Angelica cared, so he wanted to make a meritorious service, turned his head and ran out and said, "Miss, wait a minute, I'll ask again, and I'll keep it for you!" As he spoke, he rushed away, and He Angelica couldn't shout and was gone.

Qing'er was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" Nervous about the draft at the mention of it? ”

He Angelica sighed silently and said: "I hope I'm too worried, but if the Luo family really has more than two places to send for election, maybe I have to occupy one, Luo Baiqiong is going through special channels, not occupying the quota, although Luo Baishao's hand burns out a little, it stands to reason that he has to be sent to go through the motions, and then count it, the only one who can pull out for a walk is only me." If the number of concubines is really insufficient, I, the granddaughter of the He family, may also be pulled to fill the number. ”

"What about Luo Baiying?" Qing'er recommended, "Although she is twenty-seven this year, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is more than seventy years old, is still Zhu Yuanzhang's old cow eating tender grass." Luo Baiying is also good-looking, but her temper is a little stinky, why hasn't she ever married? ”

He Angelica doesn't like to expose other people's shortcomings, and has never confessed to Qing'er about it, but now he is asked positively, hesitates, and tells the truth: "Miss Luo Baiying is a 'stone girl', we have a saying in this place, called 'stone girl is ominous, haunted by bad luck', the old lady is afraid that it will be bad for the family, so she has not let Luo Baiying marry or draft for many years, so as not to be laughed at by outsiders after they know it." Except for the old lady and Luo Baiying's mother-in-law, Zhao, the only people who know about this matter are my mother and me, Qing'er, don't talk nonsense, we ancients were very taboo about stone girls and didn't treat them as women. ”
