??????? Although Mrs. Gui was surprised, it was the first time she heard that she was marrying a wife and taking a house at the same time, and it was such a grand battle. But listen to what he says. Mrs. Gui didn't say anything more, and ordered someone to accept the dowry. He said to the statement, "I'm really sorry, but my family is not here. I'm a woman, and I can't prepare any scenes. I should have invited some of my adult friends to celebrate, but now I had to put it on hold. ”

The statement bowed slightly to Mrs. Gui and said, "Madame's thoughts, I will convey them to Zisuke." Now that the war is raging, and in a special period, everything is simple. Zisuke has been busy with the war and has not officially hired Miss He. Now it's also an explanation to the young lady. ”

"That's good." Mrs. Gui didn't know what to say more, so she chatted with the statement a few more words, and the statement took her leave first, and Mrs. Gui also wiped her sweat.

stated the He Mansion Courtyard, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. This old seven, who usually looks serious, can always do something that has gone through the heavens and the earth. I don't know what I'm planning this time, so I will take a concubine so much.

As soon as she came out of Qingyan Hall, Mrs. Gui had already been taken by Yun Niang to the eldest lady in the backyard. Madame Gui repeated the statement as it was, and the eldest lady's face, which had been swollen crimson, gradually turned a little pale. After listening to this, there was no expression, so she asked Yun Niang to send Mrs. Gui back.

Qi Zhengxiu also hired Xiao Tao, which she didn't expect. He has always taken wives and concubines. Marrying a wife requires three media and six appointments, and taking a concubine is just a matter of giving some silver, so why be so formal? Regardless of these false courtesies, from now on, Xiao Tao will officially be Qi Zhengxiu's concubine. He Zhitang thought of this, and his heart felt like a sharp claw was gouging. Yun Niang looked at He Zhitang's face was pale, sweating lightly, and she was a little distressed: "Miss." You okay? ”

He Zhitang clutched his chest and slowly exhaled a few breaths: "It's okay, I'll be quiet alone, you go out first." Yun Niang went out worriedly, and in He Zhitang's house, there was deathly silence.

After a while, Yun Niang felt that something was wrong, and banged on He Zhitang's door hard, but no one responded inside. Yun Niang pushed the door hard and went in, but saw He Zhitang lying on the table, unconscious. Yun Niang hurriedly rushed up to pinch He Zhitang's people, and saw He Zhitang slowly breathe. and hurriedly sent someone to invite Langzhong.

Qi Zheng repaired the matter of two dowries, which spread for thousands of miles like the wind blowing through the Hefu Courtyard. This is unheard of by everyone, taking a concubine and marrying a wife at the same time. There are also many people who are talking about which little peach is, but they want to see what kind of national color and fragrance they look like, and they can get this honor.

When the news reached Xiao Tao's ears, she was practicing her writing in the house. Recently, the work has arrived, and the words have become more and more fluent, and in some places they can be connected and drawn. It's just that the ink is running out, and I have to ask the eldest lady for ink with a shy face. Now that the eldest lady is always cold-faced, she is a little afraid to get close. It seems that before she was taken away by Ye Guang, the eldest lady was like this. Why? She couldn't tell.

When Ruosu pulled her arm, laughed and screamed, and gasped and told her that Qi Zhengxiu had given her a concubine dowry, she was stunned at first, and then shook her head with a red face and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Qi Gongzi is hired for the eldest lady. There is no such thing as ours. ”

"Really, the whole He Mansion has spread all over the place. Mr. Qi gave two dowry gifts, one for the eldest lady and one for you. "If it's only for the eldest lady, then what's the surprise?" It's not a matter of time. It's because of you that the whole house wants to see what you look like. ”

Ruosu's words drilled into Xiao Tao's heart like a needlepoint, she was numb at first, and then her whole body began to jump wildly. Prince Qi wants to take her as a concubine? When did you come up with the idea? When I was by the pontoon bridge, didn't I just talk to Zhao Kuangyi and get angry there? Do you really want her now?

Xiao Tao's brain was dizzy, and she didn't seem to hear what Ruosu said to her again. Just sat down at the table blankly. She should be ecstatic, but the truth is that she is not as happy as she thought. The heart is a little sour. Why sour but I don't know. Her mind suddenly flashed the situation of Zhao Kuangyi holding her hand and walking step by step in the snow, and remembered his deep tone, "As long as you go on, the footprints now are deeper than just now§§§"

Ruosu shook the little peach: "You're stupid, you're here like a wooden pestle, hehe, don't be ashamed." Ruo Su smiled at Xiao Tao. Fun as much as you can.

Xiao Tao came back to her senses, yes, what are you thinking, this is a great thing, it is something that I can't even think of. Blushing a little for a while, he looked at Ruo Su with low eyebrows and said, "What did the eldest lady say?" ”

Ruosu was stunned: "I don't know." I heard them in the backyard just now, so I'll tell you about it. The eldest lady is serving Yun Niang next to her. I went to the backyard early in the morning. Saying that, he patted his head, "Yes, you should go to the eldest lady, or wait for the eldest lady to come to you, but it seems that you will be invited over and put up the score of the second lady." Ruosu covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiao Tao gently slapped Ruo Su's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you talk more, you will cut your tongue." For a while, the mood was much lighter, put away the pen and ink, and hurried to the eldest lady's bedroom. First, she wanted to confirm whether Ruosu's words were true or not, and secondly, if it was true, she also had to ask the eldest lady to show her, otherwise she would be arrogant.

Xiao Tao rushed to the yard of the eldest lady, and Yun Niang was sending Lang Zhong out. Lang Zhong said as he walked: "Miss, this illness is not important, but it can't be underestimated. Don't get irritated. His chest was uncomfortable, so he took one of the pills in his mouth. There must be no less people around you, and you can serve more at night. Especially at the time of the fifth watch§§§§§§"

Yun Niang nodded in response, her face burning. sent Lang Zhong out of the courtyard gate, and then another subordinate took Lang Zhong out of the house. Yun Niang turned her head and saw Xiao Tao standing on the side, Xiao Tao asked with a smile on her face, "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

What's wrong? Yun Niang didn't come out when she saw Xiao Tao's face. If it weren't for her, how could the young lady have fallen ill with anger and suffered from heart disease. Unconsciously put down his face and sneered: "Don't bother the girl." ”

Xiao Tao's heart hurt as if it had been pricked, and she couldn't help but pull Yun Niang and said, "What's wrong?" Yun Niang, what's wrong with you and Miss? Where am I wrong? ”

Yun Niang pulled the little peach away and said coldly: "Where do you dare to say that you are wrong." It's better for you to focus on how to seduce men. The eldest lady was really blind to accept you in the first place, but it was like raising a wolf by her side, and she didn't learn to serve the eldest lady, so she stepped on the eldest lady and climbed up first. Now that you are proud, Gongzi Qi is going to accept you as a concubine, so hurry up and think about how to accept the house first, give birth to a boy and half a girl, and continue to hold the eldest lady hostage. The more Yun Niang spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice became louder, and she snorted at Xiao Tao, "Born with a cheap bone, the fox is a charming man."

Before Yun Niang's words were finished, the eldest lady called in a low voice in the room: "Yun Niang§§§"

Yun Niang hurriedly closed her mouth, ran back quickly, and closed the door with a bang. Xiao Tao was stunned in the yard. Yun Niang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on her head, and she was a little una**. She needed to react to Yun Niang's words.

Xiao Tao turned around and walked towards her house, her mind was full of Yun Niang's stern scolding, "seducing a man", "raising a wolf", "slut", "fox charmer" §§§§ Xiao Tao's tears flowed out, she had never been scolded before, she was scolded in Yunwan Village to grow up, and she had never been so sad once. She was sorry for the eldest lady, but when she knew Qi Gongzi, she didn't know the eldest lady, and she couldn't control her heart.

Xiao Tao's heart hurts a little, only because she is from a humble background, she does not have any right to choose, and she is feared and disliked everywhere. Xiao Tao went back to the room a little numbly, lying on the bed, and couldn't hold back her tears.

The news of the eldest lady's illness reached Qi Zhengxiu, and he came to visit him in person. He Zhitang found that he couldn't hate the man in front of him. Although he still took the girl who asked for her when he was about to marry her, when she saw his jade-like face, gentle expression, and the smile under his eyebrows and eyes, the anger in her heart turned into a crimson face, which flowed with his words.

Qi Zhengxiu asked about the eldest lady's condition in a warm voice, chatted a few more words, and said: "One is that you are not in good health, and the other is that Jinling City has not been peaceful recently, thieves are everywhere, and there are some young ladies and girls in the courtyard, which is really not safe." I'll stay in Jinling for a while, so I might as well send some people to guard the courtyard, there is a small courtyard in the back alley of the courtyard, and I will settle down there for the time being. I wonder what Miss thinks? ”

The back alley was originally the courtyard of a merchant, and later the merchant moved away, leaving only a few people to watch the yard, Qi Zhengxiu spent a few taels of silver to rent it and lived there temporarily. He Zhitang was suddenly full of joy, she was a little timid when there was no man in such a big yard, but now that Qi Zhengxiu was going to live nearby, her heart was naturally much calmer, so she smiled lightly and said: "That's great, thank you for your intentions." ”

He Zhitang's voice was very gentle, and Qi Zhengxiu felt soft and comfortable in his heart, but he had no other thoughts. He Zhitang saw that Qi Zhengxiu was a little tired, and thought about some topics of poetry and poetry to chat with him, Qi Zhengxiu reluctantly lifted his spirit to cope, looked around, and didn't see Xiao Tao's figure, only Yun Niang and Ruosu, and felt a little uncomfortable. I wanted to ask He Zhitang, but I was afraid that she would be jealous of Xiao Tao, so I said that I had gone back in advance without chatting a few words. He Zhitang, who was only left happy, was a little stunned.

Qi Zhengxiu lived in the back alley of Hefu Courtyard, Xiao Tao didn't know, but he felt that there seemed to be a lot of guards guarding him in and out, and he didn't know where he was transferred.

The girl's house was about to be vacated for other dancing girls to live in, and Xiao Tao went in again to clean up and see if there were any things left by the girl. Tsai carefully checked it, and suddenly saw a pack of pills under the bed, Xiao Tao picked it up and sniffed it, sneezed, and didn't feel that his face was hot, and his body seemed to be a little hot. Oh no, it won't be the kind of medicine that my mother used to do not throw away. If this is seen by others, I don't know how to arrange my mother. Xiao Tao hurriedly put away the medicinal powder.
