Several ladies were talking inside, while Tang Ning was greeting Fu Laiqing and Qian Qiyue outside, along with Zhou Yuchang, the second wife of Madam Wenxinhou.
Lady Tuesday and Qian Qiyue have completely different temperaments, and they don't appear to be from a military general's family at all.
She is soft-spoken and has a gentle temperament. When she walks in a Xiangzhu dress, she has a slim figure. When the walking bag she carries on her head sways slightly, she hardly moves. Even when she orders tea and pours water, the tassels fall firmly on them. Her fair and delicate face looks more like the daughter of a civil servant than Qian Qiyue.
"I have heard Ah Yue mention the County Lord many times, and I have long wanted to come and meet you, but I have never found the opportunity before." Zhou Yuchang spoke softly and softly: "When we meet today, the County Lord is indeed as Ah Yue said, It’s so beautiful that people get close to it just by looking at it.”
"Sister Ah Yue is always good at saying sweet words to make people happy."
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, please don't call me County Lord. Just like Sister A Yue, you can call me Tang Ning or An Ning. I didn't have many friends in the past, and it's rare for me to fall in love with Sister Zhou. If you have time, please feel free to do so." Just come over here.”
Zhou Yuchang was a little embarrassed: "Then I came here diligently, An Ning, don't dislike it, to be honest with you, I have been thinking about those books you have here for a long time, but I didn't know you well before, so I didn't dare to come to borrow them rashly." "
Tang Ning immediately laughed when he saw the blush on her cheeks. This girl from Marquis Wenxin's house had a reserved personality, and she made her purpose clear, which made people feel good about her.
She deliberately joked: "Sister Zhou, don't be polite. Don't you see that sister Ayue comes over every now and then to eat and drink. I don't mind it, let alone just reading..."
Qian Qiyue turned her head and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Okay, little Haitang, you dare to arrange for me!"
Tang Ning smiled and dodged: "No way, it's Aunt Zhang talking about you."
Aunt Zhang is the cook of the Tang Mansion. She is an excellent cook, especially meat, and can always make different dishes. Qian Qiyue has a strong taste and likes meat, so she is extremely satisfied every time she comes.
Seeing her making fun of herself, Qian Qiyue rushed over to her without giving up: "You are just making fun of me."
Tang Ning giggled when she tickled her, and quickly raised her hands to fight back, and the two of them burst into laughter.
Qian Qiyue often rides a horse and whips, and she has learned a little kung fu and is stronger. Tang Ning can't make trouble with her. She laughs so hard that she can't breathe and quickly begs for mercy and retreats.
Qian Qiyue made a fuss and wanted to catch her, but when she got up, she got hooked on the table leg, staggered and fell towards the table in front of her.
"careful."
Fu Laiqing, who was sitting opposite, saw someone rushing towards him and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but looking at Qian Qiyue's face, he quickly took his hand back and stepped back.
Qian Qiyue's hand that originally wanted to hold on for support failed, and she lost her balance and hit the table with a bang.
"What are you doing?!" Qian Qiyue raised her head and glared. When she saw Fu Laiqing shrinking his hands, she stood firm on the table and said angrily: "Fu Laiqing, am I a ghost? Why are you hiding?!"
Fu Laiqing shrank his neck in fright: "I didn't see it, it was a mistake..."
"I bother!"
Qian Qiyue spat in his face. She clearly saw that Fu stretched out his hand first when he saw someone fall. He took his hand back when he saw her. She gouged him out angrily: "You think I'm blind?" ?!”
"This...men and women are not intimate..."
Qian Qiyue had no expression on her face and just stared at him: "Continue making up!"
"..."
Fu Laiqing was embarrassed and couldn't speak anymore when she looked at him.
He really didn't mean it, he was just the last person who "accidentally" touched Miss Qian, and her three brothers and biological father almost knocked off the roof of their house. But he saw with his own eyes Miss Qian's superb acting skills. See how she fooled her father and brother and almost killed the Lu family.
It was really just a conditioned reflex just now, but when he came to his senses, Miss Qian had already fallen.
Seeing Fu Laiqing's timid look and looking at him begging for help, Tang Ning hurriedly pulled Qian Qiyue: "Sister Ah Yue, did you hit her?"
Qian Qiyue glared at Fu Laiqing fiercely, turned around, rubbed her arms and said, "It's okay, it's just that Fu is an eyesore."
Fu Laiqing: "..."
"There are so many girls in the Fu family. If Mrs. Fu doesn't take her, how can she bring him here?"
"...I just sent my grandmother here on the way..."
"Didn't talk to you!"
Qian Qiyue had a pretty face and a fierce expression.
Fu Laiqing: "..."
I felt wronged, but I didn’t dare to speak.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Zhou saw Mr. Fu, who was about to shrink into a ball. She held back her laughter and stepped forward to comfort Qian Qiyue. After she sat down with him groaning, she said, "Okay, Mr. Fu." You didn’t mean it, by the way, do you know about the fall of the fourth prince?”
Qian Qiyue was indeed distracted, while Tang Ning was surprised: "The fourth prince was dismissed? When did it happen?"
"Just yesterday, Mr. Fu should know about this." Mrs. Tuesday said.
Seeing Tang Ning looking at him with apricot eyes, Fu Laiqing moved a little uncomfortably and said: "Yesterday, the little princess of Prince Ji's Mansion came to see each other. Princess Ji held a polo match at the racecourse in the western suburbs and invited many people from the capital. In the past, the fourth prince's concubine had a good relationship with the young princess in Prince Ji's mansion, so the fourth prince would accompany her."
"The second prince was there at the time. The fourth prince had an argument with him for some reason, so they both got on the field. As a result, the fourth prince was frightened and fell off his horse. Fortunately, the people next to him reacted quickly and dragged him away in time. Come out, otherwise something will really happen." He paused and said, "Master Xiao Qian was also there at the time."
Tang Ning looked at Qian Qiyue: "Is this your brother?"
Qian Qiyue curled her lips: "Yes, it's the eldest brother."
Qian Qingran was sent abroad in his early years and did not stay in Beijing for much time. He returned to Beijing to report on his work, and now he was assigned to the Ministry of Industry. Looking at him as a gentle and gentle man, no one expected that his immediate kung fu was also very good. .
It is said that if he had not helped the Fourth Prince and given others a chance to save people, the Fourth Prince would have become a ghost under the horse's hooves.
Qian Qiyue didn't like the Lu family, not even the queen and the fourth prince, but she also understood the situation yesterday. If the fourth prince really died on the racecourse, her brother and everyone present would not be able to escape. relationship.
Qian Qiyue muttered: "I heard from my eldest brother that although the fourth prince was rescued, he was dragged all the way under the horse and had injuries on his face and body. After this happened, Prince Ji's Mansion was also in a panic. It didn't work, so I dismissed the polo club in a hurry and sent him back to the capital to find the imperial doctor. Early this morning, people from Prince Ji's palace came to our house to express their thanks."
Princess Wenqing of Prince Ji's Mansion used to have her eyes set high above her head and look down on everyone, but this morning when she pulled her in, she was so affectionate that she talked about Ah Yue's sister, and she even inquired about her elder brother. The eager look made her hair stand on end.
The princess was particularly willful. She had beaten someone to death earlier when she was fighting for her husband. But when she got it, she felt bad about it and forcibly broke off the engagement.
Mrs. Qian saw that the people in Prince Ji's Mansion seemed to be eyeing her son and did not want to greet them at all, so she took Qian Qiyue out of the mansion on the pretext of coming to Jiuyun Lane.
Fu Laiqing was stunned when he heard Qian Qiyue's words: "Is it possible that the little princess of Prince Ji's Mansion has a crush on Lord Xiao Qian?"
Qian Qiyue quickly said, "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah," she said with a glare, "Don't do anything against me!"
Like Princess Wenqing, she didn't want her to be her sister-in-law, and her eldest brother would die of embarrassment!
"However, the fourth prince has been very unlucky these past few days. He fell down and broke his head in his own palace, and then fell off his horse again not long after. I heard that the Queen and the Queen are also not calm in the palace."
"Come on, a palace maid died in Fengxi Palace. She was said to have committed suicide after stealing the queen's belongings. However, news came out from the palace that the lady was hanged on the beam in front of the queen's chamber. of."
Mrs. Tuesday was a little shocked when she heard this: "Who did it?"
Qian Qiyue said: "I don't know. I just heard that Fengxi Palace changed a group of palace people and killed two eunuchs." She turned around and said: "Tang Ning, did Governor Xiao tell you?"
Xiao Yan should know more about things in the palace than they do.
Tangning shook his head: "Brother mentioned it, but didn't elaborate."
After hearing this, several people didn't think much about it. After all, it was such a bloody thing, and Tang Ning was a little girl, so it was normal for Xiao Yan not to say more to her.
Qian Qiyue leaned on the table and muttered: "The empress and the fourth prince are both in bad luck. Maybe they have provoked some dirty people. Forget it, let's not mention them. There is no bad luck."
Fu Laiqing rolled his eyes and glanced at Tang Ning.
The incident between the Queen and her son happened after the fourth prince investigated the Lu family. It couldn't be a coincidence. My uncle always said that Tang Ning was smart and quick-witted. She couldn't help but notice...
"Fu Laiqing, what do you think Tang Ning is doing?"
Fu Laiqing quickly looked away: "It's nothing."
Qian Qiyue "hummed" and glared at him: "I'm warning you, don't have any evil intentions!"
Fu Laiqing: "..."
The flame of admiration in his heart hadn't even started yet, but it was pinched by Tang Ning himself. How could he have any evil intentions?
"Miss Qian, I really didn't mean it just now." Fu Laiqing apologized.
Qian Qiyue: "Do you think I believe you?"
Fu Laiqing: "..."
Seeing Qian Qiyue holding Tang Ning's arm and chirping with her and glancing at him from time to time, Fu Laiqing couldn't help but sigh deeply and crossed his face.
Wronged.
