Chapter 291: A Lady's Thoughts
Wen Yi looked at Jiang Yao for the fourth time, Jiang Yao couldn't pretend to be unaware anymore, and asked unintentionally, "What do you see me doing?" ”
Wen Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "When Brother Luo and Mrs. Zhongli were there, I saw that my sister was talking and acting, and she was even more refreshing than usual, and I was a little surprised, I didn't expect my sister to have such courage." ”
Jiang Yao's face flushed slightly, and her eyes flickered: "My father is still in Jinnan, my safety is uncertain, and I am also anxious, thinking that as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it, if it is procrastinated, maybe my father will have to take an extra risk." After a pause, "Besides, that Luo Gongzi is a Shuangli person, and when dealing with Shuangli people, he naturally has to be more cool." ”
Wen Yi was stunned. Luo Mingmin's temperament, he always does things in a hurry, he often agrees on things while talking, and he is impatient to rub against others. She didn't ask any more, just smiled and said: "Since the charter has been decided, my sister will simply stay in our house for a few more days, if there is any change on the side of the General Administration, we can also respond to the situation in time, so that you can go back to the Shilang Mansion, I will deliver you the news, and I will pass five levels and kill six generals." ”
Jiang Yao responded with a smile, and the two discussed it, and sent the waiter's mansion to report back with a mother-in-law who came to wait, only saying that the matter had not been discussed yet, and he might have to go out to see the garden, so he would let the former stay at Liu's house for two days. If two days later, there is still no letter from the Department of General Affairs, and if you can't say it, you will have to find another excuse and stay for a few more days.
Mrs. Lu welcomed Jiang Yao very much, and also let Wen Yi entertain her wholeheartedly. Because Jiang Yao only brought a girl with a smile to stay overnight, Wen Yi specially dialed Qiuguo over. Qiu Guo is a dowry girl, although she is a servant of the Gu family, she has nothing to do with the long house, she is safe, and her temperament is kind and meticulous, she has only been with Wen Yi for a few months, and she has unknowingly become the most respected big girl in this house, even if it is Runxin, the daughter of Shu's housekeeper, and Binglan, who has followed Liu Dongxing for the longest time, they are willing to obey her discipline. With her in the house, Wen Yi didn't have to worry about Jiang Yao being neglected in the Liu family.
Jiang Yao accepted Wen Yi's kindness, thanked her again and again, and went to the guest room with Qiuguo with a smile, rested and tidied up a little, and then went to have dinner with the host's house.
Jiang Yao lives in the small courtyard where Master Liu Qi's family once lived, because Master Liu Qi's family had only left for a short time, the houses in that courtyard were quite clean, and they could live in it with a little cleaning, and it was relatively independent from the inner courtyard, so it was more convenient to live. Qiuguo invited Jiang Yao into the main room, introduced the layout of the courtyard, and led a little girl to clean up the house. This should have been a smile job, but she had something in her heart, so she stayed, found a tea set, and made tea for Jiang Yao to drink.
Jiang Yao took the tea, but put it on the side, and said lightly: "You go and help Qiuguo pack your luggage, although we don't have many things, it's not good to let others do them all." Your own things are naturally the ones you know best. ”
Xiaoxiao bit her lip, looked around, and saw that no one was in front of her, so she approached Jiang Yao and whispered: "Miss, just now you and the ninth aunt and grandmother of the Gu family didn't let the slaves and maids into the house, but you talked in the house for a long time with that Luo Gongzi and the wife you didn't know, what are you talking about?" Surely you have forgotten what the slave said last time......"
Jiang Yao interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense, we have something serious to discuss, not to mention, the ninth sister and Mrs. Zhongli are both in front of you, don't talk nonsense, if you spread it, people will laugh at our family for having no rules."
He shrunk his neck with a smile, hesitated for a while, and then spoke again: "Miss, don't think the slave is troublesome, the slave is also for the good of the young lady." That Luo Gongzi is good, but the young lady should also be cautious. Although there is the ninth aunt and grandmother of the Gu family, if outsiders really want to gossip, she can't escape, and that Mrs. Zhongli doesn't know what it is, and outsiders don't know, so they may not take her seriously. For the sake of the reputation of the young lady and the ninth aunt of the Gu family, if the young lady wants to see that Luo Gongzi again in the future, it is better to let the slaves and maids wait in front of her. Even if the young lady is too long-winded to be on the stage, she should persuade the ninth aunt of the Gu family to leave one or two of the girls around her in the house."
Jiang Yao frowned: "These words are getting more and more confused, you don't look at whose house this is, just talk about it there"
"It's not that slaves are confused. The slave and maid were also worried. Hanxiao frowned, "You have been talking in the house for a long time, and I am guarding the door with Qiuguo and them, except for Qiuguo and Lianxin, who are standing by the door, everyone else is ten feet away." The mother-in-law of the Liu family also whispered outside, I don't know what the host and guests are talking about in the house, and some people are talking about who Mrs. Zhongli is. ”
Jiang Yao sneered: "Which mother-in-law is so bold?" How dare you criticize the master's actions? I'll tell the ninth sister to go back, such a person can't be spared."
Hanxiao was startled, and hurriedly said: "That woman can't say that she is criticizing, but she just called the girl named Runxin outside the second gate and asked what kind of guest came." Runxin didn't tell the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law stopped asking. ”
Jiang Yao's brows furrowed. She knew that the Liu family was separated from the Bachelor's Mansion, and the descendants of the family naturally had children from the Liu family, so maybe there would be someone who favored the side of the Liu family. She has made up her mind, and she will definitely discuss it with Wen Yi when she goes back.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, she couldn't see any clues on her face, thought about it, and whispered: "Miss, in fact, that Luo Gongzi...... It can be regarded as a talent, good conduct, and saved the young lady, and the family of the imperial businessman, returning to the famous family of the sea, is not without a foundation, if he can take the test in the future and become an official, it is better than those children of the royal family and nobles. Miss's thoughts, the slave maid didn't dare to figure it out without permission, but if Miss really took the idea, why didn't she believe it and ask the master? ”
Jiang Yao glanced at it with a smile, feeling a little funny in her heart. In order to keep it secret, she didn't even reveal the news about the girl around her, so Xiaoxiao didn't know about her father's affairs, so it's no wonder there was such a misunderstanding. However, Hanxiao was not optimistic about Luo Mingmin at all in the past, why did he change his tone today?
Seeing that she didn't respond, she had to continue to persuade: "The master has always loved Miss, as long as the master is willing to nod, Miss will naturally be able to make her wish come true, wouldn't everyone be happy?" It's like now, and it also requires acquaintances to help cover it up before you can see each other. In case there is a little rumor that spreads, Miss's reputation will be ruined, even if no outsiders know, one year old, two years young, Miss will have to say kiss sooner or later, if Mrs. Gu is on the side for Miss, take the first step to tell the master, Miss has more ideas, it will not be successful, then it can only be sad......"
Jiang Yao interrupted her: "I remember that you persuaded me to dispel those thoughts early in the past, why did you say such things today?" ”
With a smile, he blushed and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's Miss, the slave can't hide it from you anymore." The slave maid was in the waiter's house, laughing with the girl of his family, and heard some gossip about his fifth aunt and grandmother......"
Jiang Yao frowned: "You are really going to die, we are in that mansion, we have to be careful in what we say and do, his girl is confused, and boldly talks about the master, what are you involved in?" ”
smiled and hurriedly said: "The slave didn't mean to, but someone started talking during the chat, and it was not easy for the slave to get up and leave." The young lady also told the slave maid to get along with their maid and mother-in-law. ”
Jiang Yao pursed her lips: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, you have to be careful." If my aunt or Mrs. Gu catches me, even if you don't have to be punished, my face will not be bright. After a pause, he asked again: "What are they talking about the fifth sister?" ”
"It is said that the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Gu family are not doing well in the Liu family, obviously they are cousins and brothers, and the young master of the Liu family treats his wife just mediocre, I heard that two days ago, there was a quarrel because of a girl, and finally in front of Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu wanted to kill the girl, and Young Master Liu also persuaded him, and personally promised the girl to the little girl next to him. The fifth aunt and grandmother of the Gu family have no face, and when they return to their own room, they have to look at Young Master Liu's cold face......"
Jiang Yao frowned again: "How did this kind of words come back?" How can the girl of the Gu family know? ”
"Of the four girls who have been married, one is from the old lady of the Gu family, one is from our aunt's house, and the other is from the second wife of the Gu family. Where can we hide this kind of thing? Xiaoxiao lowered his voice, "That Young Master Liu is the son of the bachelor's mansion, the slave maid follows the young lady, I have seen it countless times since I was a child, and I say that I am a very amiable person, with a good background, talent, and good looks, in this capital, I am a famous noble son." But Rao is like this, and he still has this attitude towards his wife, not to mention that it is his own cousin, and he has only recently been married...... Famous and amiable people are like this, can other princes and grandsons be better than him? Although the young lady usually acts gently and kindly, in fact, she has the most ideas, if she really falls into the hands of such a person, where will she have a good life......"
Jiang Yao interrupted her again: "What nonsense are you talking about, this girl?" ”
smiled and flattened her mouth a little aggrievedly: "Where is the slave talking nonsense?" It turned out to be for the sake of the young lady. The slave knew that because of the master's background, the young lady also suffered a lot of anger at home, and went to the Shilang's mansion, but she didn't have a comfortable life. The young lady is full of desire to marry a decent family, preferably a royal family of the clan, in order not to be underestimated in the future. But if you only have dignity on the outside and don't have a good life in private, then no matter how decent you are, it will be empty. The slave maid saw that Miss Luo seemed to care a lot, and his background was not so bad, even the old lady of the Gu family told Mrs. Gu that she wanted to marry her granddaughter......
Jiang Yao almost choked: "What did you say?" The old lady of the Gu family wants to marry her granddaughter...... Who to marry? ”
smiled and pursed his lips and snickered, and quietly glanced at her: "Naturally, it's Luo Gongzi." The slave was familiar with the dust in Old Lady Gu's house, which she overheard while cleaning the house. It seems that when the Gu family went to Beijing, they had seen that Luo Gongzi, and the old lady was quite satisfied, and she had the intention to marry her granddaughter, but which one to marry, but it was still undecided. Mrs. Gu said that Miss Eleventh Cousin is too young, not yet old, and if she wants to marry, she will marry Miss Tenth Cousin, but Miss Ten Cousin is more compatible with Luo Gongzi's younger brother. The old lady was annoyed for some reason, and scolded Mrs. Gu a few words, saying that she didn't know how to think about her daughter and was not a good mother......"
Jiang Yao's face turned pale suddenly, then she gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, and raised her eyebrows: "What happened later?" What else did she hear? ”
Han Xiao was a little uneasy when she saw this: "Then it was gone...... She didn't hear clearly, because she saw someone coming, so she hurriedly hid...... Miss ......"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and was silent for a long time. smiled and said carefully: "Miss, if even the old lady of the Gu family is willing to marry her granddaughter to Luo Gongzi, it can be seen that Luo Gongzi may not be a good match." If the young lady doesn't tell the master as soon as possible......"
Jiang Yao glanced at her: "What's the hurry?" What should be mine is mine, what shouldn't be mine, it's useless to force it" smiled and didn't dare to say any more, and heard Qiuguo telling the little girl to work in the next room, and she hurriedly raised her feet and went out to help.
Jiang Yao sat upright for a long time, thought about it again and again, and simply put her heart sideways. It's rare for her to meet someone who is pleasing to the eye, even if her family background is poor, what does it matter? As Han Xiao said, no matter how decent she is, if she doesn't have a good life in the future, it's all empty The wives and grandmothers of the royal family, if they can really look at her, they won't have revealed the meaning of a little bit of kissing until now, and they don't even joke that since this road is not working, she can't miss Luo Mingmin anymore, although I don't know what he thinks about her, but it can be seen from his actions that he is a gentleman and doesn't hate her. What about the Department of General Affairs? What if your status is not noble enough? Does she still have to tie up those noble ladies for the rest of her life? My aunt didn't have that patience
Jiang Yao stood up, took a deep breath, and decided to strike hard.
After dinner, Wen Yi listened to Jiang Yao's words, and was so surprised that she didn't wake up for a long time: "Are you serious?" Isn't it exciting? You have to know that Qingzhou Jinnan doesn't know what the situation is at the moment, in case there is danger......"
Jiang Yao smiled slightly: "It's always risky to send someone to pretend to be a domestic servant, wouldn't it be bad if the people around the father of the family didn't recognize him and revealed the identity of the envoy of the General Administration?" But it's different with me, they will only think that the Shilang Mansion sent someone to see me off. As for my safety, the ninth sister doesn't have to worry, I didn't go alone, didn't I still have all the people from the General Administration? If they want to succeed, they have to rely on me to stand in the way, so how can they let me have trouble? It's just ......," she hesitated, "I have something I want to ask my sister for, but I don't know how to say it. ”
Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Sister, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Jiang Yao blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I am not familiar with others, and I am really uneasy to go to Qingzhou, if I have an acquaintance with me, it is better than others, I have something difficult on the road, and I can also discuss ......"
Wen Yi said: "I don't have any acquaintances in the General Administration...... suddenly understood, and glanced at Jiang Yao, "Only Brother Luo recognizes it." I can help ask, it's inconvenient to see Brother Luo, but I don't dare to pack tickets......"
Jiang Yao smiled: "That's enough, I'm just trying to have peace of mind." Thank you, Sister Nine. With that, he got up and bowed solemnly.
Wen Yi hurriedly helped her up, talked for a while, and then sent the person away, and then returned to the room, thinking carefully, and smiling silently.
Jiang Yao seems to have a ladylike thought for Luo Mingmin, these two are a match, if they can succeed, they will also be a good couple
Thinking about it, Wen Yi couldn't help but think of Liu Dongxing, and her expression darkened.
When will her husband come back?。.。
