Qin Xiangxiang took a deep breath. No one could tell that this inexplicable marriage was the result of the emperor wanting to tease the Qin and Mu families.
Besides, how compatible are she and Mu Ting? Mu Ting's ambition is to be in power and opposition, while she is determined to make money. They have different paths and do not agree with each other.
But in order to appease Princess Huizhen, she could only say vaguely: "Let's talk about it then."
Princess Huizhen took it seriously: "If my uncles in Cangzhou don't welcome me, I will follow you to Yanzhou. I heard that Yanzhou is close to the desert and the scenery is very different from that of the Central Plains. I will gain my knowledge."
Princess Huizhen, who was unwilling to go down from the attic not long ago, suddenly wanted to go anywhere.
It was probably because her grandmother who loved and cared for her passed away so suddenly, and things in the world are unpredictable, she must have woken up.
Qin Xiangxiang smiled awkwardly: "You have to ask your adopted brother about this." It would be best if she could convince Mu Ting not to take this marriage seriously. Otherwise, how could she really go to Yanzhou with her family?
After spending some time with Princess Huizhen, Qin Xiangxiang went back to the city before it got dark.
In addition to the manpower arranged by Mu Ting, in the past few days, Mu Ting also successively found more than a dozen female guards who had previously guarded the attic of the eldest princess's mansion.
These more than ten female guards were originally homeless orphans, and they were trained by the eldest princess with all her heart. The eldest princess's mansion was sealed off, leaving them homeless and wandering on the streets for a few days. Mu Ting saw them and after asking about their wishes, he took them to Yizhuang to continue to protect Princess Huizhen.
Although Nangong Wenyue said that Princess Huizhen was not welcome to live back in the East Pavilion of Fanlou, she still sent two strong-looking men over.
Coupled with Kang Si and Hong Wu, the normally gloomy Yizhuang suddenly became bustling with people coming and going.
I don't know who spread the news, saying that there is a young lady who looks like a fairy in Yi Zhuang, who is keeping watch at the funeral. Even the second lady Qin, who is both talented and beautiful in the capital, cannot compare with her appearance.
As soon as the news spread, the ladies who usually avoided Yizhuang poured into Yizhuang like a tide.
The ladies were quite interesting. When they entered the righteous village, they first gave money to the steward, and then donated some sesame oil money, making the righteous village look like a temple.
The steward was not happy at first, but after receiving the reward, he now opened the gate of the village to welcome ladies to visit the village.
Anyway, nothing happened, and Kaifeng Mansion didn't send anyone to scold him, so he just turned a blind eye.
What's more, those noble ladies were kind-hearted. They saw that no one had taken the coffin back for burial for a long time, and the coffin was rotten, so they gave money to buy another coffin and reinstall it.
In the past few days, a lot of coffins alone have been sold.
Sure enough, in the capital, women are much more beautiful than men.
When Qin Xiangxiang returned to the Qin family restaurant, Qin Wanwan came up to her with a rare appearance: "Is the eldest lady coming back from the yizhuang outside the city?"
Qin Xiangxiang looked at Qin Wanwan, wondering what medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Qin Wanwan's voice sounded a little anxious: "Then Princess Huizhen really looks like a fairy?"
"Even if she looks like a fairy, what does that have to do with you?"
"She looks like a fairy. Even the eldest lady must be fascinated by her. These days, I go out early and come back late, all because of her." Qin Wanwan was a little jealous when she spoke.
Qin Xiangxiang only felt that there was something wrong with Qin Wanwan's mind: "I leave early and come back late because I have business."
"When I was imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison, I didn't see the lady working so hard." The more Qin Wanwan thought about it, the angrier she became, "You and I are sisters. We are sisters who are both prosperous and devastated."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but after thinking about it, he said, "Aren't you going to Yanzhou? Have you packed your things?"
"I have nothing to deal with." Qin Wanwan finally looked a little happy when talking about this moment, "Counting the days, father, mother, and brothers should be arriving in Yanzhou soon."
Yes, the news that she and Mu Ting were granted a marriage should have reached Yanzhou by now. If you are in a hurry, it must be faster.
Her father might have felt the anger of Marquis Wude even before he set foot in Yanzhou.
After all these days, Mu Ting had no idea that their marriage was just a plan by the emperor.
Qin Xiangxiang's thoughts turned around and he wanted to go out to find Mu Ting and talk about this matter.
Tianxiang walked in with a nervous look on her face: "First lady, second lady, uncle and wife of the Zhong family are here."
What is Wu Jiayi doing again? Since being criticized by Qin Wanwan last time, she has never been here again.
Qin Wanwan said in disgust: "What is she doing here again?"
Wu Jiayi still painted her face thickly white, and the powder fell off whenever she spoke.
This time she walked up to Qin Xiangxiang with a smile: "Madam, my aunt has just found out that you have been granted marriage by the Holy Emperor and will soon be the daughter-in-law of Marquis Wude. In the past, it was all my fault that my aunt was not good and she was obsessed with things. She said some inappropriate words. Madam, please forgive my aunt for being careless."
Qin Xiangxiang raised the corners of his lips: "My aunt is really worthy of being a hero."
Qin Wanwan was so ashamed. Wu Jiayi is her serious aunt, not Qin Xiangxiang. Wu Jiayi's words seemed as if she had been very fond of Qin Xiangxiang before.
It can be said that Wu Jiayi never looked at Qin Xiangxiang in the past, and even in order to please her mother, she even demoted Qin Xiangxiang to nothing in front of her mother.
Now Qin Xiangxiang jumped up on the branch, and her aunt was trying to please Qin Xiangxiang in front of her.
Qin Wanwan suddenly felt an evil fire in her heart. She saw Wu Jiayi peeling off a jade bracelet from her hand. She was stunned and handed it to Qin Wanwan: "Madam, this is a gift from my aunt. Madam, please don't take it." dislike……"
Qin Wanwan couldn't suppress the evil fire anymore. She grabbed the jade bracelet and said, "My aunt is still shameless. My mother gave this to my aunt!"
Qin Xiangxiang took a few steps back and looked at the two of them coldly.
Qin Wanwan was so excited that her face turned red.
Wu Jiayi also became excited: "Your mother gave it to me, and it is mine. I can't give it to the eldest lady yet, she is your sister..."
"Then since my aunt wants to give it away, why not give her something more valuable? For example, the set of red coral hair and face that my mother once gave to my aunt!" Qin Wanwan said angrily.
This sentence was somewhat beyond Qin Xiangxiang's expectation. She originally thought Qin Wanwan thought she was not worthy of that bracelet.
Wu Jiayi looked a little embarrassed: "This, that, that mask has been faked for a long time..."
"Oh. Auntie doesn't have to come again." Qin Wanwan raised her head with disdain. She was still holding the bracelet in her hand, as if she didn't want to give it back to Wu Jiayi.
Wu Jiayi looked at the bracelet, and then at Qin Xiangxiang, who was standing aside indifferently. A trace of sinisterness flashed in her eyes, and she left angrily.
At this time, Qin Xiangxiang no longer thought about looking for Mu Ting. She glanced at Qin Wanwan and was about to go back to her room. Qin Wanwan rushed over and stuffed it into her hand: "My mother has not been good to you these years. This bracelet This is her compensation for you. As for your wedding dowry, I will ask her to prepare another one for you."
Qin Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows: "No need. Don't the Qin family also have no money? Now that I have gone to Yanzhou, I have to take care of everything. This is the time to spend money. As for the dowry... I only have this restaurant. ”
She stuffed the jade bracelet back: "It's you, you must have spent a lot of Mrs. Wang's personal money these days. Selling this jade bracelet can make up for it. Also, aren't you talking about Liao Pingshi? Are you going to pay back ten thousand guan by yourself? There are still many places where you need to use money."
Qin Wanwan opened her mouth, and finally accepted the jade bracelet shamelessly.
Yes, she is the poorest one now. Even Fan Xiang'er, the youngest in the restaurant, earns more than her.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't take this matter to heart.
The foot shop was still open as usual, and when it closed at one o'clock, everyone worked together to put away everything in the restaurant, washed up, and then went to bed.
Qin Xiangxiang was tired after running around for several days. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
I don't know how much time passed, but I vaguely heard a subtle beeping sound outside.
