Chapter 35 There is no secret
Sun Jiaojiao blushed for a moment, she lowered her head and didn't speak.
This is a matter between Sun Jiaojiao and Qi Yi, and she will mention it casually and will not get to the bottom of it.
Seeing Zhongyuan coming over with food, Sun Jiaojiao got up and said goodbye with a very good look.
Jiang Yuhuan did not keep it.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose.
Jiang Yuhuan was still in a hurry to smooth his hair, and the green figure next to him had already rushed out.
The moment the wind blew, Sun Jiaojiao was worried that Qi Yi's paintings would be blown away.
Sure enough, Qi Yi saw the painting being blown up, and only regretfully "hey" and did not make any move.
Sun Jiaojiao was anxious and chased after her.
The painting seemed to have eyes, and it came straight towards Sun Jiaojiao, and a wisp of wind pushed it vigorously, and the painting fell directly on Sun Jiaojiao's face.
Sun Jiaojiao carefully took it off, she glanced at it, and caught a glimpse of Qi Yi coming over, and quickly put away the appreciation in her eyes and folded the painting.
"Qi Gongzi, do you paint?"
"Thank you." Qi Yi took the painting and said detachedly.
Sun Jiaojiao looked at his eyes, lowered her eyes with just one glance, and then glanced greedily.
At this glance, she found that Qi Yi was looking at a place in a trance.
She looked along, and shock flashed in her eyes when she saw Jiang Yuhuan.
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and accidentally swept to Mrs. Zhongyibo and the others walking over.
She reminded: "Master Qi, Mrs. Zhongyibo is here. ”
Qi Yi had no doubt that he was about to tear the painting when he grabbed it.
Sun Jiaojiao seemed to have expected it, grabbed Qi Yi's wrist, and stopped: "Young Master Qi! Give me the picture! I thought I had painted it. ”
"No, this is ......"
Sun Jiaojiao persuaded: "But it won't help if you tear it up, where are the pieces going to be thrown?" ”
"This ......"
"It's too late, give it to me, I'll keep it for you. When I go back, I'll find another chance to return it to you. ”
Qi Yi made a decision and handed the painting over, "Thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome."
Sun Jiaojiao finally saved the painting and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't say hello and left straight in the other direction.
Mrs. Zhongyi couldn't find out that she was talking to Qi Yi, and she couldn't make trouble for Qi Yi.
Thinking like this, she was bent on fleeing the scene, her steps were so fast that the maidservants around her almost couldn't catch up.
"Miss, miss, that's enough, we're far enough."
Sun Jiaojiao stopped abruptly and let out an "oh" in confusion.
The maid looked at Sun Jiaojiao's sluggish expression, and couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, why are you bothering." You think about him with all your heart, but he avoids you. ”
Sun Jiaojiao tightened her lips, "It's not his fault." Originally, we could talk about poetry and painting like friends, but since then, we can't even be friends. I understand him, he has endured too much alone. ”
"But that's Madame...... It's not about you, why should he treat you like a stranger. ”
"Without poetry, calligraphy and painting, we are already strangers. He also protected me and didn't want me to be entangled in the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion. ”
The maidservant snorted, "If he really thinks like this, then he still has a little conscience." ”
Sun Jiaojiao held the painting, "Xiaozhen, you said that I used this painting as an excuse, will the relationship between us go back to before?" ”
"Miss, you can't do it."
Sun Jiaojiao looked lonely, and cherished the painting on her chest, "Yes, it's impossible." What is the importance of my own thoughts? ”
She muttered softly, "After all, I was too cowardly. ”
——
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Zhongyibo walked over and saw Qi Yi standing straight in the bamboo forest, so she asked.
"Shelter from the cold."
"Why don't you come over and see the two ladies yet."
Qi Yi stepped forward, "Qi Yi has seen Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Zhen. ”
Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "Ouch, what a talent." Mrs. Bo, Ling Lang is nineteen now, right? Have you ever discussed marriage? ”
"Not yet, he said he wanted to start a business first."
Mrs. Ding said politely, and followed Mrs. Zhongyibo's words: "It's good to start a career first, and you have ambitions." ”
Mrs. Zhongyibo's face froze, and she smiled dryly: "Yes." But if anything......"
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhen interrupted: "I'm sorry, I saw an acquaintance, so I lost my company first." ”
She threw down the words and walked away.
Jiang Yuhuan was eating, Sanqi and Zhongyuan, and suddenly a shadow fell on the table, she looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Zhen, so she put down her chopsticks, and Sanqi and Zhongyuan, who were sitting together, also hurriedly stood up.
"Mrs. Zhen also came to incense today?"
Mrs. Zhen was very warm to her, which was completely different from the lukewarm when Fang Cai was with Mrs. Zhongyibo.
"Yes. Last time, the old man escaped death, and I have come to incense every day these days. How does the princess eat here? ”
Jiang Yuhuan smiled, "The beautiful scenery is served." ”
"So interested. Mind if I sit for a while? ”
"Naturally no, Mrs. Zhen, please take a seat." Jiang Yuhuan pointed to the seat.
Mrs. Zhen bowed, "Thank you." ”
"Is Mrs. Zhen hungry? If you don't mind if we've already eaten it, why don't we eat it together? ”
"Okay, I'm a rough person and I don't pay that much attention."
Jiang Yuhuan motioned for Zhongyuan to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and when he turned around, he saw Zhongyibo and another lady coming over.
"I've seen the princess of the county."
Jiang Yuhuan tapped his chin, looked at the person next to Mrs. Zhongyi and asked, "Mrs. Bo, who is this?" ”
"This is the wife of the servant, and you are still related to it."
As soon as Mrs. Zhongyi said it, Jiang Yuhuan was clear.
The wife of the servant is the mother of her second aunt.
The second aunt even hid her mother, and Jiang Yuhuan also knew how to treat this Mrs. Ding.
"Mrs. Ding, have you made an appointment to come here to offer incense?"
"We were with Mrs. Zhen, and Mrs. Zhen said that when we saw an acquaintance, we found out that it was the princess of the county."
Jiang Yuhuan said lightly: "Oh, do you want to eat together?" ”
Mrs. Ding looked at the dishes that had been moved, and her face showed disgust, "It's better not to disturb the princess's Yaxing." ”
"Okay, then you can do it yourself."
Mrs. Ding left, Mrs. Zhongyibo looked at Mrs. Zhen, who was sitting like a mountain, and then looked at Mrs. Ding, who had left, hesitating.
In the end, no one talked to her, and chased Mrs. Ding.
Qi Yi walked over and bowed silently, and also left.
When they walked away, Mrs. Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally gone." ”
"Mrs. Zhen doesn't like to be with them?"
"Mrs. Zhongyibo specially brought Mrs. Ding as a lobbyist, and wanted me to persuade my master not to hold Qi Yun responsible. After I went back that day, the lord told me that if it wasn't for the princess of the county to see the clues, the lord might not be able to escape death. Princess of the county, thank you! ”
Qi Yun is still in custody at Dali Temple, and has not been formally sentenced.
Today's arrangement is probably the meaning of loyalty.
"I'm just protecting myself, they are all coming at me when they do that, and Lord Zhen can break the situation when he is safe and sound."
Mrs. Zhen excitedly shook Jiang Yuhuan's hand, "Don't be modest, princess, you don't know their plan, in the end, they are still kind-hearted, and it is a good result to escape." ”
Jiang Yuhuan felt that this was also the case, so he didn't refute it anymore and asked, "What does Mrs. Zhen think?" ”
"I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no. I don't understand these twists and turns, go back and ask my master. This kindness is in my lord's heart, and if the princess needs any help in the future, just ask. ”
"Okay, then you're welcome."
Favors, there is no need to refuse if people are willing to pay her back.
She's embattled, and there's always a useful day.
Mrs. Zhen gently patted Jiang Yuhuan's hand and said loudly: "Refreshing!" The princess of the county has the same temperament as your mother, and she is liked. ”
Jiang Yuhuan was slightly surprised, "Mrs. Zhen knows my mother?" ”
Mrs. Zhen let go of her hand and looked up at the distance as if she was recalling, "I have met a few times at various banquets and spoken a few times. It's a pity that she didn't wait for me to make this friend...... She is not like the average boudoir lady, she is squirming when she speaks, shy and timid, and I like that temperament very much. ”
As she spoke, she smiled.
"Is my mother like this? I always thought she was dignified and elegant. ”
Mrs. Zhen waved her hand, "No conflict, it's dignified when it's dignified." ”
Jiang Yuhuan couldn't help but laugh, what is this description.
Mrs. Zhen also realized that she was not describing it well, and said with a smile: "I am a rough person and can't speak, which makes the princess laugh." ”
"No, it won't. So what does my mother look like when she is not dignified? ”
Mrs. Zhen frowned and thought for a while, "Actually, they are quite dignified, after all, she is a young lady raised by the Guogong Mansion, and her demeanor is always elegant, but I can feel that her style of acting has a chivalrous spirit." ”
Jiang Yuhuan couldn't imagine it, but combined with the description of the shopkeeper Wu, she felt that her mother should be like this.
Mrs. Zhen didn't mean to stop when she said it, and said a lot of Luo Huizhi in her memory.
Luo Huizhi has many friends, and the dowry was the scene of these friends supporting her.
Some are well-known to everyone, such as the queen, and some are like friends on the rivers and lakes, and everyone has never heard of the name.
"She is so popular because she is very righteous."
Jiang Yuhuan became interested, "What do you say?" ”
Mrs. Zhen looked around vigilantly, leaned slightly closer to Jiang Yuhuan, and said in a suppressed voice: "I once accidentally heard her quarrel with the Queen Mother. ”
At that time, Lord Zhen was still a petty official in the ministry, and Mrs. Zhen didn't need to pretend to be as steady as she is now.
She saw a thief stealing on the street, so she enthusiastically helped the owner chase the thief.
The thief ran into an alley, cornered, threw down the money bag and ran.
Mrs. Zhen was in a hurry to find the money bag, so she didn't bother with the thief.
It's just that there are a lot of miscellaneous items there, and the money bag doesn't know where the thief threw it.
She went in to look for it, and finally found it and was ready to go out, but she heard Luo Huizhi talking with the Queen Mother, who was still the second lady of the Guogong Mansion at the time.
Her whole body was hidden by debris, and they didn't notice that there was anyone here.
The Queen Mother cried and asked Luo Huizhi why she was unwilling to make friends with the former queen, if she was afraid that she would rob her friend.
Luo Huizhi said that if the Queen Mother really thinks that the first queen is good and wants to be friends with the first queen, she is willing to take her with her every time she goes to see the queen. But the Queen Mother has bad intentions, and she can't hurt her friends.
In the end, the two parted unhappily.
"At that time, I didn't understand what the Queen Mother could have. I didn't know until the first queen died of illness and the queen mother became the successor. After Mrs. Zhen finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yuhuan carefully, and when she saw Jiang Yuhuan falling into deep thought, she said with annoyance, "Look at me, what are you talking about." ”
Jiang Yuhuan didn't notice the change in Mrs. Zhen's expression, she couldn't help but smile and didn't change her face.
Mrs. Zhen really doesn't know how to pretend at all.
This matter involved the Queen Mother's privacy, and she told her so rashly that it was definitely not accidental, but deliberate.
She did this, I am afraid that it was because the Queen Mother promoted her to the princess of the county, and she was afraid that she simply felt that the Queen Mother was good to her, so she specially reminded her to be careful of the Queen Mother.
With Mrs. Zhen's temperament, it is estimated that she will not turn up such a roundabout reminder of old things. This is most likely Lord Zhen's idea, and he leaked the news to her to thank her for her help before.
I don't know if it's a coincidence today, this is already the third person to release this kind of news, as if the Queen Mother is more dangerous than Concubine Sun, who has already made a feud.
"Mrs. Zhen doesn't have to blame herself, I also want to hear more about my mother's parents."
Mrs. Zhen sneered, "Actually, I don't know much. ”
Jiang Yuhuan took the initiative to guide, "When the first queen died, my mother should be very sad." ”
"Yes, I heard that I was sick at that time, and I had fetal gas again, and I was bedridden until the day of delivery......"
Until the day of delivery, he died in childbirth.
Is it because of the deep and sad relationship with the former queen, or is there something else to hide?
