Chapter 272: The Girl's Heart

Jiang Yao blushed and pursed her lips, with a little shyness in her eyes, but she didn't answer.

Wen Yi only felt strange, and asked again: "Which acquaintance is it?" In my heart, I was taking stock of the people I knew well, who was good enough to restrain the startling horse, and then a personal name popped up: "Is it Brother Luo?" Or the Li family siblings? Or which general showed his face when he greeted him last time? "Think about it carefully, almost all of the people who show their faces when welcoming relatives are in northern Xinjiang, that is Luo Mingmin or Li Chunxi and Li Dongrui?

Jiang Yao's face suddenly became redder when he heard the words "Brother Luo", and when he heard the back, he hurriedly shook his head: "It's not those generals, I don't know them." ”

Wen Yi seemed to be aware of it, and tilted her head to look at her: "Is it Brother Luo?" Although the elder sister of the Li family and the younger brother of the Li family are good, the Li family should not go out of the city recently, and it is not them who my sister will meet on the road. "I heard that a few days ago, Lord Li made a contribution, and the saint rewarded him with a small house with a garden, just by the water, it was the coolest in summer, Mrs. Li had already brought her children to live there, and their family was afraid of the heat, where would they be in the mood to play outside the city?

Jiang Yao shook his head and said, "It's not the young master and miss of the Li family." Sister Li also mentioned that she wanted to go to cool off before, and the son of the Li family used to come often, the seventh cousin was the best with him, and often went out to play together, and the uncle did not stop him, but these days, Aunt Yu persuaded the seventh cousin to stay at home to study, not to go out, so that he could not find anyone when he had something to contribute, so the son of the Li family did not come again, presumably it was a summer vacation. ”

So, it's Luo Mingmin?

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Brother Luo is very skilled, and he has always been an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, even if he encounters his sister's difficulties, he will never stand idly by." It is also a coincidence that my sister happened to meet him there, otherwise, I don't know what will happen, my sister will go out in the future, and I must ask someone to pull the horse. ”

Jiang Yao blinked, her eyes wandered a little, but she crumpled the handkerchief in her hand: "I remember that on the day of your big day, this Luo Gongzi followed your father-in-law to greet his relatives, and it was obvious that he had an excellent friendship." It's just that I don't know him and don't know where he came from...... Is it the young master of Mrs. Luo's family? ”

Wen Yi said: "It is the nephew of the fourth master of Luo, the second young master of the Luo clan of Guihai, he and my father-in-law have been friends since they were young, and they studied together in Cannes Academy, and another classmate learned the art of war, but now, my father-in-law has entered the army, but he has gone home to take care of the family business." He was a very capable man and had an open temperament. ”

Jiang Yao was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Return to the Sea Luo?" It's also a famous family...... I heard that his family is an imperial businessman, and his qualifications are extremely old. ”

Wen Yi smiled and nodded: "That's true." The Luo family is not outstanding among the imperial firms, but it is the most secure, and no one has been able to shake it for many years, and I heard that his family's industry is all over the world. I have been to the old house of the Luo family in Guihai City once, it is not like the ordinary merchant's house with copper odor everywhere, it looks similar to the eunuch family I see every day, and most of the children in the clan are knowledgeable and reasonable, and the style is by no means comparable to the ordinary imperial merchant family. She rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Yao with deep meaning: "Brother Luo is the second in the family, the elder brother inherits the family business, the younger brother is the seed of study, and Brother Luo has ambitions since childhood, and the family also attaches great importance to him, and he is very cautious about his marriage, so he has not yet decided on a marriage today." My father-in-law also mentioned to me that he was a little worried about Brother Luo's life, but Brother Luo didn't take it to heart, and only said that it was good to find a confidant to accompany him. ”

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed, and she quickly looked away, the flush spread from the root of her ears to her forehead, on the surface, she seemed to be very calm, but her fingers pinching the handkerchief were tense, and her breathing became a little panting, but she quickly calmed down again: "Is it?" This Luo Gongzi is a caring person......" After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly, but his eyelashes trembled.

Wen Yi knew that there were some things that didn't have to be done too much, so she also took a sip of tea and talked about other things. Jiang Yao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, put on her smile again, and chatted with her about family life, and after a while, Jiang's side sent a girl to call Wen Yi, and Wen Yi got up to say goodbye.

As soon as Wen Yi left with her front foot, Jiang Yao's girl came out of the room with a smile and said to Jiang Yao: "Miss just heard it?" It's a pity, it's the son of an imperial merchant. ”

Jiang Yao pursed her lips and lowered her head to eat tea: "So what?" ”

Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "Miss, what's wrong?" Didn't you keep saying that you had to find a decent person? Although the prince's palace can't be climbed, but in the clan, there are many people like auxiliary generals and Fengguo generals, or princesses and princesses of any family who have children and nephews, and there are always people who can see the benefits of the young lady. With our family's family and the master's official position, the young lady is worthy of such a person, and she is not insulting to others. But now this Luo Gongzi is the son of an imperial businessman, a farmer and a businessman, and the merchant is the last, although the imperial merchant is not the same as an ordinary businessman, in the end it is not as decent as a serious scholar. If Miss takes a fancy to such a person, even if it is low, it will be too aggrieved. ”

Jiang Yao's expression darkened, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, he was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Miss, could it be you......"

Jiang Yao quickly raised her head and interrupted her words: "What grievances are not wronged, people saved me, I should be grateful, you girl is here to judge others, said this nonsense, if people hear it, I don't know how they will laugh at me, why don't you stop your mouth and quickly call someone back to the house to ask, the Luo family's thank you gifts have been delivered?" What did they say? Don't say anything wrong, make people laugh at our family's lack of manners. ”

Seeing that she was talking about business, she hurriedly responded, turned around and was about to leave, paused at her feet, turned around, and said meaningfully: "Miss, you must think about what you do, your decency is related to the decency of the master." If you act rashly, not only outsiders will gossip in the future, but even Mrs. Aunt ...... I also want to laugh at the old lady. ”

Jiang Yao straightened her face and sneered: "I just don't do anything, and my aunt doesn't laugh at me a lot, what do you mean by this?" Do you think that I was saved by that man once, and even forgot the rules of the girl's house? Who are you and I? ”

smiled and hurriedly knelt down to apologize. Jiang Yao's expression softened slightly, and said lightly: "Get up, I know you are for my good, but you have to pay attention to proportions when you speak." Don't tell anyone about this, it will save you a lot of trouble. The people in this house, if they have nothing to do, they have to make up something to chew their tongues, and when they saw that I couldn't add some talking points to them in the past, they didn't know what to think of me, if you showed a little bit of a mouth, isn't it a ready-made handle? ”

smiled and hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, how can a slave be so stupid?" After a pause, he couldn't help but persuade again, "If Miss really has that thought, she should ask the master first......

"Okay, okay" Jiang Yao suddenly felt impatient, this smile has always been the girl she trusts and relies on the most, and what she says has always been to the point, but for some reason, she feels that this girl is particularly annoying today, and she can't help but refute: "You say it, it's just that I'm afraid that I don't know the depths and promise myself to someone who is not enough, but you don't want to think about it, people are just kind enough to save me, in fact, they haven't even looked at me, if you let people know about this worry, maybe how to laugh at me for being frivolous."

Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly curtsied and withdrew. However, Jiang Yao thought of the last sentence he said, and then recalled the situation at the time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and his mood was a little sadder, so he could only secretly cheer himself up: horizontal and vertical can't be successful, it's useless to think too much, it's better to concentrate on thinking of a good way, and reveal the incident mentioned by his father in the letter to the acquaintances of the powerful family.

Not to mention how Jiang Yao was troubled there, Wen Yi left the courtyard where the sisters lived and walked to the main courtyard, and when she entered the door, she saw Wen Juan walking out, with a little annoyance on her face. She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "What's the matter?" Why is the tenth sister angry? ”

Wen Juan gritted her teeth: "That Duan Kerou, it's really hateful" and then her eyes turned red, "Fifth sister is too sad......"

Wen Yi didn't understand, but Wen Juan just hung her head in tears, she just refused to tell the truth, she had to look at the girl next to her. Wen Juan's girl Sydney said: "Aunt Jiu, just now our wife asked Miss and Miss Duan Jiabiao to accompany Miss Fifth to talk to relieve boredom, and after only saying two words, Miss Fifth sent Miss away, but left Miss Cousin." The young lady was angry and went to complain to the wife, but the wife only asked the young lady to go back to the room and not to disturb the fifth lady again. Miss is angry about this. ”

Wen Juan took a bite of her: "Nonsense, can I still be angry with my mother?" I just couldn't get angry that Kerou didn't know what method she used, causing the fifth sister to treat her so closely, and even my own sister was left behind, and I also complained that the fifth sister ignored the past feelings. If you say this, people who don't know, still think that I am complaining about my mother."

Sydney didn't dare to say much, so Wen Yi had to appease Wen Juan: "Fifth Sister has been close to Sister Duan in the past, and it is not strange that she likes to talk to Sister Duan." You have always been an impatient person, and you speak straightforwardly, but at some point, you will be ashamed of your fifth sister, and she is embarrassed to see you. Didn't you tell Sister Jiang that you wanted to play together? Why don't you go to her? ”

When Wen Juan heard this, she turned her sadness into joy: "That's right, every time I see my fifth sister, I can't help but make fun of Cousin Liu, she was still shy at first, but then she was annoyed, presumably because of this, she refused to keep me." In this case, I will play with Sister Jiang" said that he happily took the girl away. Wen Yijing entered the main house to see Jiang's family.

The Gu family was busy for a few days, and finally waited for the day when Wenxian got married. Wen Yi accompanied Mrs. Lu to come by car early in the morning, and after entering the door, she saw that the male and female servants of the Shilang Mansion had changed into new clothes, and they were busy before and after. On this day, the Shilang Mansion was dressed in red and green, and everyone had a joyful smile on their faces, and even Wenxian, who usually looked solemn and not harsh, also showed a smile.

Old Madam Lu went to Old Madam Yu's courtyard to accompany several elders and daughters of relatives to talk, Wen Yi didn't dare to go far, so she sat in the inner room and was with her sisters. Jiang and Duan were not present, they were busy directing their families to set up a guard of honor to welcome relatives and greet guests, and when the auspicious time came, they pushed out Wenxian in wedding clothes, hung up a red silk scarf, and went to Ge's house to marry.

The bridegroom went out to get married, and the family could take a breather. According to the predetermined schedule, Wenxian had to eat wine at Ge's house when he went, and then waited until the auspicious time came to be able to pick up the sedan chair and turn around, which would take half a day. The Jiang and Duan concubines had free time, so they took the opportunity to go back to the house to rest, and they didn't dare to delay, so they went to their mother-in-law to have fun.

At this time, Liu Gu arrived with his children, and for some reason today, even Liu Dongjun and Liu Yin also came, and Aunt Bai accompanied them. In front of so many people, Aunt Bai is very well-behaved, if it weren't for the fact that she was dressed differently from other servants, she would almost make people think that she was the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.

Liu Gu instructed Aunt Bai to pour tea and water, and pass the word to deliver things, but the latter did not dare to disobey at all, although Liu Dongjun and Liu Yin were a little angry on their faces, they did not dare to speak out. Liu Gu thought that he had gained face, and he couldn't help but show a smug look between his eyebrows, and when he looked at the two sisters-in-law, his chin was raised even higher.

Jiang Shi sneered in his heart, his face was faint, and he didn't say much, just concentrated on talking to the few ladies who came to congratulate him. Duan's family looked at Aunt Bai carefully for a long time, and between her words and deeds, she was half more polite. Liu Dongjun seemed to be a little aware, and when he answered Duan's question, he was a little more respectful.

Wen Yi heard that Liu Gu was coming, so he rushed over to pay a visit. Liu Gu stared at her twice, and his expression was much more relaxed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is your grandmother?" ”

Wen Yi smiled: "Grandmother is fine, thank you second aunt for thinking." ”

"Hmm-" Liu Gu was a little careless, "It's all a family, you have free time, and you can also sit at home and talk to your sisters-in-law." Sister Su also said a few days ago, why don't you come to the house to play. ”

Liu Su was originally laughing on the side, but she was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and immediately laughed again: "Yes, sister-in-law, why don't you come?" My mother said that she wanted me to learn needlework from my sister-in-law, who was much better than mine. ”

Wen Yi blinked, a little unsure of their intentions, so she could only respond cautiously and secretly observe Liu Gu's intentions.

Liu Gu didn't pay much attention to her, just said a few affectionate words, then left her aside, handed her over to Liu Su to deal with, and turned around to amuse her mother. Wen Yi guessed that she probably just wanted to show the kindness of her elders in front of people, but in fact, she didn't mean anything, so she relaxed her heart slightly.

Among the female guests present, many of them were familiar with Liu Gu and Jiang, and some people quipped: "Mrs. Liu, where is your daughter-in-law in the house, don't you see it?" The other person smiled and said: "I'm going to pass through the door, I don't need to see it today, so I don't need to be ashamed of the girl" caused the people around to laugh, and Liu Gushi was also happy: "When the time comes, I will invite you to come to eat and drink."

Jiang's heart was bitter, but he was a little glad that he never let his daughter come.

Several more wives praised Liu Dongning, and asked Liu Gu to call Liu Dongning in to show them, and Liu Gu was proud in his heart, so he called his son in. Wen Yi hurriedly went back to the back room, only to hear everyone outside praising Liu Dongning, how to show talent, how Yushu is in the wind, Yunyun, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

Wen Xian sat in the back room, listening clearly, her face was already flushed, her eyes were a little shy, and she was a little uneasy and anxious. Wen Juan originally wanted to tease her, but she just remembered her previous experience, so she stopped talking, only Jiang Yao was gossiping with Wen Ya like no one else, but there was a sentence, there was no sentence, and she seemed to be a little absent-minded.

No one noticed that Duan Kerou in the corner was listening to the sound outside, and there was an unknown light flashing in her eyes.
