Chapter 219

As the night falls, Ji's rooms gradually light up the candle. Zhen walks around the room where the candle is flickering. Xun Qingyao is dizzy. She is advised to sit down, but she can't!

During the day by the gas did not swallow, the woman let the dog bite her son at night, how unreasonable? how absurd?

Xun Xing tried to explain that it wasn't the young lady, but Zhen didn't believe it.

"I'm not careful! I touched it Xun Xingzhi explained that his palm was almost bitten by Dabai. A servant girl of qinglianju gave him medicine, but it didn't work so fast. His hand was swollen like a bear's paw, and it was burning.

"It's her," she said! She'll bite you if she lets you bite! "

Holding back the pain in his hand, Xun Xingzhi said, "she was not in front of me at that time. It was brother Liu who held her. Brother Liu would not have abetted the mink to bite me."

What Xun Xingzhi said is very reasonable. At that time, Qiao Wei was playing with two steamed stuffed buns. He didn't know what Xun Xingzhi and Liu Ge'er had said or done. If he didn't say that Qiao Wei was wrong, he probably didn't remind Xun Xingzhi not to touch them? Dabai has not bitten people for many days, OK? Who knows how Xun Xingzhi got angry?

If Zhen calms down, she will be able to figure out the key. However, she has a bad impression of Qiao Wei in the afternoon. Qiao Wei raised the mink in the yard, saying that Qiao Wei didn't deliberately take care of her son. How can it be?

With the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, Zhen walked around the room for half an hour, left Guixiang courtyard with an umbrella.

Zhen is a good student this time. She can't find Qiao Wei's qinglianju quickly. She catches a passing servant and asks where the master lives. The servant girl foolishly shows her the way. She braves the wind and snow and goes all the way to Tongyuan.

Ji Shangqing is drinking medicine in his room. This is the last dose. From tomorrow on, he will be completely cured, and he doesn't have to endure any medicine.

Half way through the medicine, the servant girl reported that Mrs. Xun had come.

Ji Shangqing takes a look at the hourglass on the wall and frowns slightly. It's really not suitable to visit her at this time. But Ji Shangqing hesitates for a while and asks someone to invite her in.

Ji Shangqing changed into a regular brocade dress and met Zhen in the Ming hall.

Ji Shangqing has been to Xun's home several times. Zhen knows him and has spoken to him. In Zhen's heart, this is a little friendship. Only in the middle of the night can Zhen dare to "rush" into Tongyuan to visit him.

The last time Zhen saw Ji Shangqing was when Xun LAN left the Xun family at the age of 15 and returned to the Ji family. At that time, Ji Shangqing was still very young, and his beautiful appearance attracted the beautiful color of the city. Now more than ten years have passed, and the years have left traces on his face, and he has become haggard.

Zhen's into the house, give Ji Shangqing a gift: "in laws master."

Ji Shangqing made a gesture: "Madam Xun, please sit down."

His insincere manner made Zhen's heart burst out, but he remembered that he had been like this before. He was soon relieved and said with a smile: "it's so late, my father-in-law hasn't gone to bed yet?"

Ji Shangqing took a sip of tea.

Zhen picked up the cup and sipped it gently. It's worth the tea of Tongyuan, which is much better than that of Guixiang. She put down the cup, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips. She said with an aggrieved look: "in fact, I came here so late to say goodbye to my father-in-law."

"Farewell?" Ji Shangqing looked at her puzzled, "so soon? But what happened? "

The master in law is really on the road!

Zhen wrongly wiped his tears, said: "anyway, I don't like to stay. I might as well go back early. At the beginning, sister LAN insisted that I bring Yao'er and Xingzhi to the capital, but now sister LAN is not here, and no one supports us. We stay here, but we are just enjoying the leisure of others!"

Ji Shangqing frowned: "who gave Mrs. Xun leisure?"

"I dare not say." Zhen said.

Ji Shangqing looked serious and said, "Madam Xun, let's be frank. I don't think there is any misunderstanding. If it's not a misunderstanding, it's time to make decisions for madam Xun. I won't refuse."

With Ji Shangqing's assurance, Zhen told Ji Shangqing what happened in the afternoon.

“…… It's just a hairpin. She grabs it from me and gives it back to me after grabbing it! "

I forgot how much jewelry I had bought before that hairpin.

"And let the mink bite it."

The Diao was held by brother Liu.

Ji Shangqing's face becomes more and more serious when she listens. Qiao Wei dares to smash Ji Shuang's tavern and rob Zhen's jewelry. It's no surprise that she is so natural that she can't tolerate sand.

Ji Shangqing pause, said: "Xiaowei is still small, there is no sensible place, Mrs. Xun is an elder, please forgive me a lot."

Ji Shangqing's reaction was somewhat unexpected. Zhen thought of all kinds of rumors she heard along the way. She thought Qiao Wei was not very popular in Ji's family, but the old lady and Ji Shangqing seemed to treat her well. Zhen said bitterly: "I know that she is the master of the eight classics of your Ji's family. I'm an outsider. No one cares what I think!"Ji Shangqing said, "it doesn't mean that. Don't get me wrong, madam Xun."

With an aggrieved look on her face, Zhen said: "at the beginning, LAN jie'er promised to do a job to help Yao'er decide a marriage. Yao'er was frightened today, and I don't know if she can still discuss the marriage..."

"I'll let people pay attention to miss Xun's marriage, and I'll do her job..." Ji Shangqing lives here.

Zhen's Baba looked at him, his eyebrows slightly a Cu, said: "the line of things, I will arrange."

The Zhen family finally left Tongyuan with satisfaction.

After getting compensation, Zhen was in a good mood and went to qinglianju. Xun Xingzhi was also in a good mood. They lay on the bed and went to sleep happily. Only the light in Xun Qingyao's room was still on and she couldn't sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the handsome face could emerge in her mind uncontrollably, which made her a little flustered and at a loss.

Maybe he saved himself. He was just grateful, not related to others.

But the more you comfort yourself, the more difficult it is to calm down.

Separated from the Guixiang courtyard, a humble carriage stopped on the street. Two men were sitting in the carriage. They were both wearing black cloaks. The hat of the cloaks covered most of their faces, revealing only a clean chin and bright red lips. The bright red one was a younger man, and the other one with a beard was an uncle.

The young man slightly hooked the lips of the bright red hook, inadvertently, it sent out a bit of evil and evil taste: "to?"

His voice, low and magnetic, is so sweet that his heart is soft.

The man with simple beard has been used to it for a long time. He calmly picked up the car curtain, knocked out, and said firmly, "here we are."

The young man sneered and walked out of the carriage.

The coachman stooped to the ground with his back as a stool.

The young man leaned out his gorgeous feet and stepped out of the carriage.

The bearded man got out of the car.

They stood under the towering wall and looked up.

The young man put out a hand. His fingers were as long as jade. He touched the wall gently. Even the wall seemed to ripple out a layer of gentle waves.

"Ji family." His bright red thin lips gently spit out two words, full of disdain.

The bearded man said, "do you want to start tonight

"Otherwise?" The young man asked, the bearded man didn't speak any more. The young man crooked his lips, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "The Ji family will pay a terrible price for its stupidity."

"What are you going to do, my lord?" Asked the bearded man.

The young man sneered, and a trace of ridicule passed in his eyes: "invade Ji's family, destroy everything of Ji's family, kill all the men of Ji's family, rob all the women of Ji's family, sell the children of Ji's family, and make them slaves forever! I've been waiting for this day for too long. I can't wait any longer. "

The bearded man let out a cry and said, "my subordinates have heard about the Ji family. Behind this wall, there is a vacant courtyard. But recently, there are several guests of the Xun family. They are in danger of being found when they enter here."

The young man Yin measured ground to smile: "a few stupid small minions just, this seat has not put in the eye."

The bearded man asked, "is that the adult planning to..."

The young man said, "of course, it's a different place to go in."

A man with a beard

……

But Xun Qingyao was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Xiaocui, the servant girl sent by Li, was in the compartment. Hearing the movement in her room, she came over with a curtain and asked softly, "Miss Xun, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong? "

Xun Qingyao shook his head: "I'm sorry to wake you up."

Xiaocui said, "don't say that, Miss Xun. Can't you sleep?"

Xun Qingyao sat up slowly and sighed, "maybe I have had too much dinner and some food."

Xiaocuiwen said in a voice: "that slave girl will accompany you to the yard for a walk?"

Xun Qingyao thought about it. Anyway, she had woken Xiaocui up. Even if she didn't go out, Xiaocui couldn't sleep. She nodded and said, "please."

Xiaocui gives Xun Qingyao a rabbit hair cape and helps her out of the house.

The snow reflected the moonlight and the pearls under the corridor, quiet and clear.

Xiaocui mixed Xun Qingyao to the stone table in the yard: "Miss Xun, sit down. I'll make some fruit tea for consumption."

Xun Qingyao nodded: "thank you."

Xiaocui's action was very fast. She soon cooked a bowl of hawthorn tea, put it on the stone table, touched the cold stone stool and said, "it's so cold. I'll get a cushion."

Xiaocui enters the room.

Xun Qingyao stirred the hawthorn tea in the bowl with a spoon. The tea was boiling hot, but he just watched the people warm a lot.

After drinking tea, Xun Qingyao went back to her room, and Xiaocui also took a rest.Xun Qingyao opened the curtain and was about to sit in, but suddenly found a man in black robe sitting on the bed!

She was so scared that her hair stood up and she wanted to scream. The man moved one arm, and a sword fell into his hand. The sword was on her neck and stuck her words back to her throat.

The man slowly raised his head, revealing the golden mask on his face. Under the mask, there was a pair of bewitching eyes. His skin was as white as jade, and his lips were more purplish red than those of the woman. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, with a trace of casual evil spirit.

"Shh." His slender fingertips are pasted with lip petals, and his jade fingers are pressed on the bright red color, which is as beautiful as a thick ink painting. "Don't cry, or your little head will be lost."

The sound is also very nice.

This gorgeous and beautiful man is really charming when he laughs. With such a voice, Xun Qingyao's legs are almost soft.

Xun Qingyao looks at Xiaocui's house.

The man gently a smile, gorgeous such as heavy color, hook people fascinated: "don't look, she won't wake up tonight."

Xun Qingyao took a deep breath, and with the help of nine oxen and two tigers, he could suppress his fear: "who are you?"

"Do you think you have the right to ask me?" The man slightly deviated his hand, and the cold blade stuck to Xun Qingyao's face. Xun Qingyao felt that he was stuck by a poisonous snake, which made her shiver.

Xun Qingyao said in a trembling voice, "what do you want to do?"

"The man said with a smile:" do nothing, just want to help you a favor

Xun Qingyao was stunned: "do me a favor? What can I do for you? "

The man said lazily: "you have to ask yourself, I can satisfy any of your wishes, as long as you put forward, I can promise you, now, think quickly, what do you need me to do?"

This, this is forcing her Ask him for help? Why?

"Why are you helping me?"

The man chuckled: "I'm a good man. I love helping others the most."

Xun Qingyao choked.

The man's smile deepened: "however, I love helping others so much, do you have to do something for me?"

Come on, come on, it's not that easy.

"Don't worry about answering me. You can think about it first. When you need me, just play this flute, and I will make you do what you want."

The man said and took out an object from his arms and put it on the bed.

Xun Qingyao's chest heaved so much that she didn't dare to reach for it.

The man took back his sword, stood up and passed Xun Qingyao.

In the air, there was a man's fragrance. Xun Qingyao's face was flushed, his breath was heavier, his heart was like beating a drum, and his legs were too soft to stand.

She went to the window and blew hard for a while before the agitation in her body dissipated.

……

In qinglianju, Qiao Wei sleeps until she is full. When she gets up, Ji Mingxiu has already gone to court. Qiao Wei and her children have breakfast and go to luomeiyuan to greet the old lady.

Ji Shuang's month is big, and she stays in the North mansion for childbirth. She doesn't often go out to walk around. Most of the common affairs fall on Li's head.

In addition to the food and drink of more than 100 people in the Ji family, the monthly money, festival gifts, clothes and budget of each room are also included. The accounts of the family are counted once a month, and the farm shop outside is counted from March to half a year. The end of the year is the busiest day. Just preparing the new year's goods makes Li's hands in a hurry. At this time, the marriage of several girls is also mentioned I've got the agenda.

Li is really overwhelmed, will Qiao Wei called over.

Qiao Wei is a good hand at reading the account books. In the morning, she finished reading several baskets of account books, and marked all the mistakes. Ji's accountant is still very good, and there are not many mistakes.

Li was extremely satisfied.

After reading the account book, it was noon. Li left Qiao Wei for dinner. Several children were in luomei hospital. Qiao Wei didn't have to worry about it. Qiao Wei continued to stay in Dongfu.

After lunch, a guest came to Dongfu. She was a woman a few years older than Li's. she was plump, red, jeweled, smiling and enthusiastic.

Li Shi introduces to Qiao Wei: "this is Mrs. Hong, who has come to discuss the marriage of several girls."

Discussion? Qiao Wei's mind turns around, and gradually comes back to realize how important the marriage of Ji's girls is. She doesn't discuss with irrelevant people. She has never met or even heard of Mrs. Hong. Except for one possibility - matchmaker, Qiao Wei can't think of anything else.

This is the first time that Qiao Wei sees a matchmaker in Beijing. It's not the same as what she imagined. She doesn't have any matchmaker's mole, and she doesn't make herself gaudy and fancy. It's just like an ordinary lady.

In Daliang, matchmakers are also hierarchical. Naturally, Mrs. Hong, a gold medalist, is not an ordinary person. She was born in an official family, and she was like a fish in water in the noble women's circle. To make a living like this, she didn't need a few taels of silver, just a good mouth.She has excellent resources and sharp tongue, but all she does is the business of conscience. The marriage between Li and Ji Sheng is introduced by her. Over the years, Ji Sheng treats Li as a good marriage, though not flawless. This time, when the two girls reach the age of marriage negotiation, Li's first thought of Mrs. Hong.

Qiao Wei and Mrs. Hong met.

Mrs. Hong looked at Qiao Wei with a smile: "it's really a pretty figure. It's a pity that she's married."

Qiao Wei smiles: "if you don't get married, who does Mrs. Hong want to tell me?"

Mrs. Hong thought seriously: "it's still the young master of Deji's family! Young master and young lady are a pair in the sky and a pair in the ground

All the people in the room laughed.

Li asked pomegranate to call the two girls over, and asked red apricot to go to Guixiang hospital, and invited Zhen's xunqingyao.

Qiao Wei doesn't understand: "ask them to do what?"

Li sighed: "I'm too lazy to invite you, but your father asked someone to bring me a message this morning, and miss Xun's marriage can't be ignored. If I let my two sisters choose first and then let her choose, then her mother will have to go to Tongyuan again!"

"They went to Tongyuan last night?" Qiao Wei asked.

Li said, "Miss Xun has not. Madam Xun has gone."

Zhen's virtue is really able to do it.

Qiao Wei suddenly laughs. It takes a lot of courage to be shameless. Well, come on. It's just two more people sitting in the room. Marriage is mutual. Not only women choose men, but also men choose women. Even if they like it, they may not be willing to marry.

Zhen's mother and daughter soon arrived at the warm Pavilion in the east mansion, and Ji Wanyu also arrived. She took Ji Ruyue's hand and knelt down on the mat without looking at them.

Mrs. Hong first called the painter to draw the portraits of the three girls. Both the painter and Mrs. Hong are human beings. They share equally the beauty of autumn, but they vividly depict Ji Wanyu and Ji Ruyue.

As for the painter's painting skills, Mrs. Hong took out her resources one by one: "these are all from the capital. A few ladies picked them first. They asked me if they liked me. I'll tell you what the situation is. If you can't choose the capital, there will be other places. "

Li and Zhen chose a scroll to open, and Qiao Wei also took a scroll. They all said that Mrs. Hong had good resources. It's true that the one she opened was actually the ninth royal highness of the current Dynasty. Qiao Wei was quite surprised and laughed: "why is he asking Mrs. Hong to have a kiss?"

Mrs. Hong said with a smile: "he didn't, but if the young lady takes a fancy to it, it's for which girl, I can go to the matchmaker!"

Qiao Wei compares the force value of Duo Luo Mingzhu and Ji Wanyu in her heart, and she gives up the idea. She just put down the painting, and Zhen grabs it. Looking at the young man with Yushu Linfeng, her saliva almost flows out.

Madame Hong took a look at her and said, "Your Highness nine is valuable. Princess Lin'an won't be willing to marry a foreign daughter-in-law."

Zhen snorted and threw the scroll on the table.

Qiao Wei picked up another one, and her eyebrows jumped. It was king Yin's: "as far as I know, his royal highness King Yin has an engagement with the Doros?"

Mrs. Hong said with a smile: "the young lady probably doesn't know about King Yin's royal highness and the Gaoyue family's daughter. The Gaoyue family's daughter is very powerful. She gave birth to three children to King Yin. There are not many Luo's girls passing by. I'm afraid the two families are going to fight. The emperor is in the middle and is in a dilemma. Maybe no one will marry in the end."

Who won't marry? I look down on the first beauty. Hey, Qiao Wei smacks her lips and asks with a smile: "what if she married?"

Madame Hong said angrily, "isn't there a side imperial concubine?"

Zhen's gather to come over, fix one's eyes to see, eyes all stare straight, how does the man of capital city compare a good-looking?

"Side imperial concubine always can't want the girl of capital city?" Zhen asked.

Mrs. Hong's mouth began to smoke. She thought that as a member of the Xun family, she was afraid that she would not be able to be an aunt. Was Miss Xun really born to Mrs. Xun? Where does a mother want to send her daughter to be a concubine?

"This belongs to his royal highness King Zhao?" Qiao Wei opened another picture.

Zhen Shi murmurs, how can this wench's fortune be so good? Take whatever you like, either your highness or the Lord.

However, after seeing King Yin's beauty, it's dull to see King Zhao's.

Zhen's lips curled and went to look at other portraits.

Mrs. Hong has black lines on her face. Is she right? Is the well-known King Zhao despised by a woman from the countryside? She thinks her daughter is the fairy daughter in the sky!

Zhen's choice is not to dislike her looks or her family background. She wants her partner to have both the appearance of King Yin and the background of Ji's family. It's better to be a senior official, but she's not too old, just like Ji Mingxiu.

The grade is the same as Ji Mingxiu. They are all over 40 years old.

He is the same age as Ji Mingxiu, and his official position is below grade three.

Of course, it's best not to have concubines.

A room full of people don't know what to say to her. Does she really think that a good man is so easy to find? In the whole Daliang Dynasty, there was no other Ji Mingxiu.Li chose some suitable CHILDES and asked Mrs. Hong. Mrs. Hong answered them one by one. Li left two candidates for the time being, and then opened another painting scroll. The painting shows a young man, who is valiant, handsome and brave. His appearance is not as evil as that of King Yin, but he has a arrogant manner, which is very eye-catching.

"Wei." Li handed the scroll to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei fixed her eyes and said, "eh? How could it be him? "

Li is surprised: "do you recognize?"

Qiao Wei said: "isn't this the little general mu of Southern Chu? He was the one who caught the prisoner in the alley yesterday. "

"Ah, that young master, no wonder I look good." When Li arrived at the scene, general Mu was almost ready to leave. Li said thanks outside the carriage, but he didn't really see his appearance.

"What little general mu?" Zhen came over. She was in a coma yesterday. She didn't know how her daughter was rescued. When she woke up, her daughter was already in the carriage. She thought it was the officers and soldiers who captured the prisoner.

Xun Qingyao's eyes moved and her body trembled.

Li Shi evaded the heavy and said lightly: "the envoys of Southern Chu."

"South Chu people." Zhen is not happy. No matter how handsome a person is, no matter how good his family background is, he is too far away. If his daughter is married, she will not be able to return to her mother's home in her whole life.

Li's thought about this little general Mu very seriously. He heard that Nanchu was not married to the Daliang Dynasty. But this year, it seems that it has become loose. Otherwise, Mrs. Hong would not dare to bring the portrait of general Mu to them for selection.

Ji Wanyu is Ji Shuang's heart. Ji Shuang doesn't give up her marriage, but there is Ji Ruyue.

If Ji Ruyue could marry into the general's mansion of Southern Chu, it would be nothing.

Li said with a smile, "tell me about this little general."

Mrs. Hong sat up straight and said with a smile: "this young general is very good. He's only seventeen years old, but he's very good at Kung Fu. I heard that he went out with his father at the age of nine, cut off the enemy's head at the age of eleven, made military contributions at the age of thirteen, and is famous all over the world at the age of fifteen. He's clean and never fooling around. I don't know how many girls he is My dream lover! There is a younger sister in his family. I heard that she is also a gentle and kind person. "

"Cough!" Qiao Wei chokes. A character like the second elder martial sister has nothing to do with gentleness and kindness, OK?

Originally heard in front of also think Mu Xiaojun very powerful, but two elder martial sister here out of the deviation, lead to Qiao Wei even in front of the information began to doubt.

"What about the family?" Li asked with interest.

Mrs. Hong said with a smile: "the situation in his family is very simple. His father is a God General of Southern Chu, and his mother is a daughter of a rich family. He has two elder brothers above him, but no younger brother below him, and only one younger sister. His younger sister is a disciple of a large family, but her younger sister and her brothers are not as capable as him. The second lady is really good at seeing and picking the best one at a glance Ah

Qiao Wei laughingly asked: "you take his portrait as a matchmaker. Does general Mu know about this?"

Mrs. Hong said with a smile, "he will know when I tell him to come to the door."

"Are you not afraid that he won't agree?" Qiao Wei asked with a smile.

Madame Hong shook her handkerchief: "Oh, young lady, if you don't believe me, you have to believe the two girls of Ji's family! Both girls are shy. If I were a man, I would not want to leave. Where would I not want to marry? Don't worry. I've been in this business for decades. Only the ones I don't want to say, and the ones I can't say, are on me! "

I'm afraid that little general Mu really doesn't want to marry. Qiao Wei doesn't have much contact with that guy, but there is an intuition between people. The intuition tells Qiao Wei that general Mu is not the object to be manipulated. Unless he really takes a fancy to the girl of Ji's family, he can't shake him with a bad mouth from the matchmaker.

Li's impression of general Mu is good. She thinks that this marriage can be considered, but it's not up to her to say it on her own. The second master and the old lady have to nod their heads.

Go back and talk to them. If you can succeed, you can't find another good son-in-law.

Li collected the scroll silently and put it into the alternative box.

Under the wide sleeve, Xun Qingyao squeezed her fingers slowly.

Several people picked and chose each one. Mrs. Hong left the portrait and asked several people to think about it for another night. She decided that she would come back to get the portrait. The man that the girls of Ji's family liked, except that little general Mu might be a little tricky, had nothing else to do.

Mrs. Hong went happily.

Li and Qiao Wei went to the old lady's yard and asked the old lady to take care of them. Zhen went back to Guixiang yard with the selected pictures.

Zhen's name is Xun Qingyao. She also comes to see if she likes the portrait. Although she is in charge of it, if her daughter likes it at the same time, it would be better.

"Mother, make your own decision. I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back to my room first."

Xun Qingyao went back to his room.

She opened the bedside table and took out the box left by the man.

Really Can you do anything for her?Including choosing your own marriage?

What kind of price do you need to pay?

If it's not too expensive, isn't it Can we have a try?

If the price is too high, I will give the flute back to him!

The idea flashed, Xun Qingyao was relieved, slowly opened the box, looked inside, and was dumbfounded.

What about the flute?

How is it a spoon?!
