Chapter 30: Poor cousin

Surrounded by the lively crowd, Shangguan Kite smiled casually as he walked inside: "I haven't seen Mingzhi go to the palace to play for a long time." ”

"Oh, she was sick some time ago, and she didn't dare to go out for fear of passing her illness on the eldest princess."

Chu Mingzhi's mother, Second Lady Chu smiled like a flower, pulled out the unconscious daughter from behind, and vigorously pushed it to Shangguan Kite's side.

Chu Mingzhi called out "cousin" dryly, his eyes blinked, he was very aggrieved, and seemed to say: Why did you come to save me!!

Shangguan Kite looked at her amusedly, and first greeted each other with the Duke of Chu and the old lady of Chu when she entered the house.

Old Madam Chu shouted heartily, let Shangguan Kite sit beside her, first took her hand and looked at it carefully, not to say that she had lost weight, and then patted the back of her hand and sighed: "Ouch, your marriage, ouch......"

It was also a pity for her marriage to Zhou Taining.

Shangguan Kite kept a perfect smile and didn't say a word, only waiting for the old lady to finish sighing before leaving.

"Cousin, you...... You okay? Chu Mingzhi was familiar with her, and he could see the impatience in her eyes, so he couldn't help but ask.

Shangguan Kite glanced at her: "I still want to ask you, what kind of disease, even the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is in the future?" ”

"Don't mention it, didn't my cousin ask Qinghe to ask me yesterday?" Chu Mingzhi was still indignant, "Cousin, did you see that?" It's going to be pretended! ”

"Talk to me."

At this time, there were only some peers who were following Shangguan Kite, and the two aunts knew that they would be restrained by following them, so they had already excused themselves to leave.

Qin Yongfang followed behind, and there was a strange man standing next to her, just looking at his appearance, he should be a brother.

Shangguan Kite's gaze swept over the two of them, and then retracted, listening to Chu Mingzhi try to lower his voice as much as possible but speak quickly: "...... is so delicate and charming, and can wrestle on the ground, the stupid second brother can't see through it! ”

"Is she pregnant with Chu Baocun's child?" Shangguan Kite asked directly.

Chu Mingzhi gritted his teeth: "Exactly!" Recently, there has been a stir in the family, and the second brother is such a fool that he has to marry her as a wife! ”

“…… Wife? What about the daughter of the Zhu family? Shangguan Kite was also speechless, I didn't expect Chu Baocun to think like this, it seems that the Empress Dowager Chu is going to be angry again.

Chu Mingzhi didn't answer immediately, but only glanced at Shangguan Kite carefully.

Shangguan Kite quickly figured it out: "He heard about me, and he wants to withdraw from the marriage?" ”

Chu Mingzhi was a little embarrassed, but he could only nod: "There was a big scene yesterday morning, and the angry aunt asked him to go to the ancestral hall." ”

"No wonder I didn't see him today." Shangguan Kite also reacted.

The eldest cousin Chu Baowen has an official position, and it is normal to be not at home at this time.

But the second cousin didn't see it, and now the familiar man following behind him has only one cousin, Chu Baoren.

Chu Baoren is Chu Mingzhi's younger brother, the same age as Shangguan Jinyang, but he looks much calmer.

As for the others, there are some people that Shangguan Kite is familiar with but doesn't know.

Chu Mingzhi continued: "Uncle and aunt have been arguing about this matter for a few days, but there is no result, grandfather wants to kill the second cousin......

"What about her?" Shangguan Kite gestured back.

Chu Mingzhi showed some cheerful expression: "She? That's it. ”

What is that like?

Shangguan Kite didn't ask in detail, perhaps, it was the ending as the Empress Dowager Chu said.

"But the second brother is very devoted to her, and the child has to be, and the aunt should have gone to find a suitable yard."

Chu Mingzhi sighed, "Uncle Niang also said that I really regret letting the second brother shout about the matter, otherwise it would be much easier to deal with." ”

Chu Mingzhi will be in time for the next year, and she is the only daughter of the Chu family, so she has long been taken to learn to deal with family affairs.

Shangguan Yuan understood the meaning of his aunt's words, and now even the Empress Dowager Chu in the palace knows about it, and Zhu Shoufu's family probably has heard about it.

She paused, this time looking back unabashedly.

Qin Yongfang's heart felt something, he looked up cautiously, and hurriedly looked away.

But she sensed what Shangguan Kite meant, and after she was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground and saluted: "Caomin Qin, meet the eldest princess." ”

And when he had spoken, he prostrated his head.

The man who was standing with her also followed, and also knelt beside him and saluted Shangguan Kite: "Qin Xiaohe, the grass people, and meet the eldest princess." ”

"Get up." Shangguan Kite will not embarrass others in the matter of salutation.

She took a closer look at Qin Yongfang a few more times, and saw that her melon seed face had long apricot eyes, light eyebrows and slight frowns, and she looked pitiful.

Just watching, there was a noise not far away, Shangguan Yuan turned around, saw Chu Baocun being held by two small guys, staggered to him, knelt down and kowtowed: "See the eldest princess." ”

"Second brother!" Chu Mingzhi exclaimed slightly.

Chu Baocun raised his head and smiled hard: "Let the eldest princess see it." ”

I heard that she was coming, so I borrowed a step and released the person from the ancestral hall?

Shangguan Kite smiled and nodded: "Cousin is too out-of-sight, please get up." ”

Chu Baocun couldn't stand anymore, and he was completely supported by the two little guys to get up.

His peach blossom eyes are completely inherited from the Chu family, and he always has a little affection when he looks at people, but looking at Qin Yongfang's gaze at this time made Shangguan Kite understand what true feelings are.

Shangguan Kite looked at Qin Yongfang with Chu Baocun's gaze, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was just hiding with her head down.

After glancing at Chu Ming again, Chu Ming jumped out clearly: "Second brother, how are you?" Go back and lie down, my cousin won't mind for such a trivial matter. ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Chu Baocun was actually a little reluctant to leave, but it was really not beneficial to stay.

He reluctantly glanced at Qin Yongfang a few times, and finally turned around and left with the strong support of the little guy.

"It's all gone, go back and rest, don't let so many people follow the princess." Qinghe understood Shangguan Kite's intentions and dismissed the rest.

Only Chu Mingzhi, Chu Baoren and the Qin family brothers and sisters were still left.

"Find a place to sit." After Shangguan Kite finished talking to Chu Mingzhi, he saw that this girl's eyes lit up, and she pointed out: "Cousin, isn't it the lake pavilion in the princess's mansion the most?" There is also a pavilion in front, cousin to go and take a break? ”

What's so strange about a pavilion?

Shangguan Yuan was puzzled, followed Chu Mingzhi over, and only sat down, and saw that Qin Yongfang's expression was very unnatural.

Slightly red and slightly embarrassed, it seems that in this pavilion, she has done something unsightly.

Shangguan Yuan had some guesses in his heart, and asked directly, "That's where you got pregnant?" ”
