Chapter 189: Sister-in-law

It didn't take long for the palace maid to return with the "heroine".

The woman bowed to her and said gently, "Madame is polite." I don't know what Madame, what is looking for me? ”

Jiang Yuqing invited her to sit down and looked at her carefully. Seeing this girl's goose egg face, cold white skin, delicate facial features, and bright and atmospheric appearance, she was very satisfied, and secretly said that her brother had a good eye.

"I was by the lake, watching you save people very heroically, and I admired it in my heart. When I came into Baoyue Building, I saw you again, which can be regarded as fate. Therefore, I invite you to talk about it, if you are an abrupt girl, please don't be surprised. ”

The woman said, "It's okay. I just returned to Beijing, and I don't have any friends in the capital. It is also an honor for the little lady to invite me. ”

Jiang Yuqing took advantage of this topic to chat: "I said that I had never seen you, it turned out that I had just returned to Beijing." Looking at the girl's extraordinary skills and bearing, she is not the daughter of an ordinary family. I took the liberty of asking, I don't know where the girl came from. ”

The woman said: "My surname is Zhao, and I am from Yongning Bofu." The current Yongning Bo is my uncle. I used to follow my father in the southwest and rarely went back to the capital. ”

"Southwest Frontier? Do you recognize the famous (jade-faced general) of the Southwest Army, Zhao Qinglan, General Zhao? ”

The woman smiled and said, "It's my father." ”

Jiang Yuqing suddenly realized: "It turned out to be behind the door, no wonder it was so good and disrespectful." ”

"Listen to Madame, do you know my father?"

Jiang Yuqing nodded: "When I went west to Tibet, I had several encounters with your father, and I was considered a comrade. Later, when I got married, your father rushed back to Beijing from the southwest and personally carried a sedan chair for me to get married, which I still remember! ”

"Expedition to the West? Fellows! Carrying a sedan chair? Zhao Yan seemed to think of something, and was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt: "It turned out to be the queen's mother, the courtiers have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and ask the mother to forgive her sins." ”

Jiang Yuqing bent down slightly to help her up: "No need to be polite." I'm not a restrained person, you're the same age as me, just talk to me. ”

Knowing Jiang Yuqing's identity, Zhao Yan was still a little restrained at the beginning. But Queen Guan had a friendly attitude and didn't have the slightest arrogance, so she relaxed, and opened the conversation after a while.

This is a very optimistic and cheerful girl, one year older than Jiang Yuqing, eighteen this year.

Throughout the whole process, Jiang Yuchuan sat quietly and listened carefully, only occasionally renewing tea with them in person, and never interjected during the whole process. Just the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, showing that he is in an excellent mood.

After a few more moments, the auction began.

Jiang Yuqing has lived two lives and has never seen anything good, so he lacks interest in these so-called treasures from the West.

Wei Lingyun was not very interested, but Zhao Yan took a fancy to one of the delicate daggers inlaid with gems, and then shouted the price twice, but had to give up because it was too high.

But this item was eventually photographed by Jiang Yuchuan. The moment the hammer fell, Jiang Yuqing turned his head to look at his brother, and saw his fists clenched under his sleeves, and his heart suddenly became clear.

Ouch, not stupid, boy.

Heaven is beautiful.

At the end of the auction, just as everyone was about to leave, it rained heavily in the sky.

Zhao Yan rode out alone, not in a carriage. Jiang Yuchuan took the initiative to give up his carriage and asked the coachman to send her home under the pretext of going home with his sister.

Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment and agreed.

After Zhao Yan left, Wei Lingyun's mother and daughter also said goodbye and left. The palace people took the umbrella, Jiang Yuchuan carefully helped his sister into the carriage, and then followed him into the carriage.

In the carriage, Jiang Yuqing asked Jiang Yuchuan: "Brother, what do you think of the sister of the Zhao family?" ”

Jiang Yuchuan pressed his chest that was jumping suddenly, and coughed lightly uncomfortably: "It's good." ”

Jiang Yuqing chuckled: "I also think she's very good, it's not bad to be my sister-in-law?" As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuchuan's handsome face turned red with the naked eye, and he stammered: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense, don't ruin her reputation." ”

"Don't think I didn't see it. You put the little box you just photographed in the wagon. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. If you like it, chase it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

In this first year, it is easy to find a good girl, but it is not easy to find a good girl you like. ”

Jiang Yuchuan's face turned even redder, nodded, and whispered, "I know!" ”

Let's say that Zhao Yan got into the carriage and sent a small box in the carriage. This box is quite familiar, it is the one she took a fancy to and had no money to shoot before, and then let Jiang Guogong Shizi take it away.

She originally just wanted to move the box to another place, but who would have thought that she would find a small note under the box, on which a line of sonorous and elegant small characters "The mountains have trees and trees have branches".

Zhao Yan understood, her face turned red to the root of her ears, and the hand holding the note was as hot as a fire, so frightened that she hurriedly threw the note out.

But after a while, she picked it up again and set it aside.

After much hesitation, she opened the box, and sure enough, it contained the dagger she liked. After taking it out and rubbing it carefully, she put it back in the box along with the note, and closed it. Tightly held in his arms, like some rare treasure.

She is eighteen years old, and most of the girls from other families have already become biological children at her age.

But her mother died early, and her father was a rough heart, so he couldn't think of so much. There is only one concubine by her side, so naturally she can't be her master.

She was unwilling to marry blindly, so her grandmother and aunt wrote to her many times urging her to return to Beijing to discuss marriage, but she was excused for various reasons. This dragged on for several years.

It wasn't until this year that I couldn't drag it out anymore, so I returned to Beijing.

The day after she came back, her grandmother couldn't wait to mention a family to her, saying that it was the second son of Anping Hou, named Wei Caile, who was very favored at home.

Before she could think about it, her eldest uncle Yongningbo found out and immediately vetoed the matter, saying that this person couldn't do it and couldn't get married.

But it turned out that this guy had beaten the idea of the queen mother before, and the means he used were quite inferior. was known by the Duke of Jiang Guo and His Majesty, who was still the crown prince at the time, and secretly cleaned him up fiercely, almost dying.

Such a person who has a black name in front of the emperor, who dares to marry. The Wei family also looked at the old lady of the Zhao family who didn't go out very much, so she was confused, and Zhao Yan had been kept at the border, and she didn't understand the doors here, so she dared to deceive.

His uncle also sighed at the time and said that it would be good if it was the prince of Jiang Guogong.

In this capital, Jiang Yuchuan's name is known to everyone, and no one knows it. Sixteen-year-old high school champion, talented, handsome, clean, and upright.

That's not all, but he is still the hereditary son of the Jiang Guogong Mansion, the only heir, the queen's brother, and the current uncle. Just take out a name, it's enough to make people red.

It's just that so many titles are still on the same body, which really teaches people to be jealous.

Therefore, he naturally became the first person among the children of famous nobles in the capital, and the first son worthy of the name. The dream lover of the noble daughters of the family, the dream son-in-law of the family in the major mansions.

Even if she is in the southwest border pass, she has heard of it.

I heard that over the years, the people who went to Jiang Gong's Mansion to propose relatives almost broke through the threshold of his family. It's just that I haven't heard that he has a favorite girl.

Unexpectedly, he actually wrote a note to himself today, which made her feel shy and surprised, and at the same time, she felt a little sweet and melancholy in her heart, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Back at Jiang Guogong's Mansion, Jiang Yuqing reported the matter to the female elders in the family as soon as possible, and everyone was overjoyed. Especially Lu's.

The daughter is married, and the children are pregnant. only has a son, who is twenty-three years old and has not yet married a daughter-in-law, and the mother is anxious.

Now that I finally heard the news that my big iron tree was about to bloom, I couldn't be happier.

I just hate that I can't kill that girl immediately and see it with my own eyes.

It's just a matter of marrying a wife, and the stakes are very high, and you can't rush it. Lu had no choice but to press the anxiety in his heart and wait for good news.

It just so happens that the fruit of Tai'an Farm is ripe. Jiang Yuqing personally posted a post and invited Zhao Yan to come to Tai'an Farm to pick fruits.

Hearing that it was the queen who personally invited her, Mrs. Yongningbo was greatly surprised.

As we all know, when the Tai Farm reaches the flowering period and fruit picking period every year, it will attract tourists in Beijing.

Only in the first year, the queen mother, who was still the county lord at the time, made an invitation post, and then there was no large-scale post.

Occasionally, once or twice, I just invited close friends, and irrelevant people couldn't receive Niangniang's post at all. This time, he actually made a special post to his niece, which inevitably makes people think too much.

She is a thoughtful person, and immediately asked if Zhao Yan and the queen have any intersections?

Zhao Yan didn't hide it, but said that a few days ago in Baoyue Tower, he was fortunate to be invited by his mother to watch an auction in a box.

Mrs. Yongningbo asked again, was there anyone else in the box at that time besides the queen?

Zhao Yan said that there are also Wei Lingyun's mother and daughter, the concubine of General Wei, and the son of Jiang Guo's mansion.

Mrs. Yongningbo immediately laughed, and she had a sense in her heart. So he patted her hand and said, "I'll have someone come over and give you a good cut of some fashionable new clothes, and dress up well."

The eldest lady from our uncle's mansion can't be shabby! ”

Mrs. Yongningbo had no daughters, only three concubines, two of whom were married, and the other was of old age.

However, it is not his own birth, and his heart always responds, and it is not as intimate as the niece who is separated from the room. Especially this niece has no mother, so she is closer to her.

Yu is hu, on the day of the opening of the park, the ladies of Jiang Guogong's mansion set out to look at their future sons (nephews) and daughters-in-law.

Jiang Yuchuan was even forced by his mother to wear a blue and white stand-up collar robe, wearing a jade crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist, dressed up properly.

Coupled with that handsome face, he is a humble gentleman, such as cutting and learning, and grinding like grinding.

Even Jiang Yuqing, who is accustomed to seeing the beauty of his husband and father, couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

They came early, and when they arrived, Zhao Yan hadn't arrived yet. When a few old people in the house heard that they were here for Jiang Yuchuan's daughter-in-law today, they immediately came to the spirit, and the ground did not go down, so they gathered in the pavilion, and waited for the main lord to come to join in the fun.
