A few days later, Qiu Hongzhi, the eldest son of Qiu Mengmin, was instructed by his father to invite Deng Yi to the Prince's Mansion of Xihe, "I heard that you are going to take part in the provincial examination this fall as I am, so I took the liberty to invite you here to help each other with the study. We can be more confident later."
Deng Yi was actually willing to leave the Prince's Mansion of Guangyang, so he was not displeased with his invitation. He nodded, "I agree. But I'm not good at it. I hope you won't laugh at me."
"You're being too humble. Who doesn't know that you're talented? If it's not for the first place, I'm afraid you might have passed the examination two years ago." Qiu Hongzhi thought his father wanted him to get close to his future brother-in-law, so he was very relaxed and invited him to enter his study with a big smile.
The two were all Xiucais who were preparing for the examination. Although they would be tested at
Qiu Jinglan grunted, "That's the one.""It is the Kuang Family's stuff. Why do you ask me to take it meticulously?" asked Qiu Jinglan in a confusion."It was sent by Kuang Qingwu, but it's not something from the Kuang Family." Qiu Jinglan shook his head and looked indifferently, "It's from our father!"Qiu Jinglan was startled."The same goes for the medicine inside. I used one this time and there's one more, you bring it with you just in case," Qiu Jinglan instructed."Did Kuang Shihan grab it from our father?" Qiu Yelan immediately guessed what's going on.Qiu Jinglan avoided answering, only saying, "I asked someone to make a small golden lock for the top of this jade box, so it's perfect to wear a necklace and hang it up.""And don't tell me again!" Qiu Yelan complained, "I have several necklaces in the makeup box. I'll go and find one later.""Young master, it's time to have t
"What are you doing here?" After Feng Rugui left, Jiang Yashuang pushed open the door of the cell and went in. Deng Yi, who was sitting against the wall, asked mockingly, "Aren't you satisfied with my divorce? Must you kill me?"Jiang Yashuang looked at him with the only lamp in the cell. Although in chains, he was neatly dressed. He could not have suffered much since he had been taken to prison.That made sense. Even if Feng Rugui attached himself to the Jiang Family, being mayor of the capital, he dared not offend Empress Dowager Gu. He had no grudge against Deng Yi, so there was no need for him to be tough on him without clear instructions of the Jiang Family."If you didn't let Lanlan join us, how could this happen?" Although the "extra treat" for the Empress Dowager Party was only a pair of shackles, Deng Yi, who had worn the heavy shackles for a day and night, was so weak that he could hardly sit without leaning against the wall.
After a while, Jiang Yashuang, who had changed into a blue summer dress, returned to the Marquess Qin's Mansion. He fixed his robes outside the study, bowed respectfully after entering, and greeted respectfully, "Grandfather!"Marquess Qin caressed his long beard and lazily commanded, "Get up, come and talk to me. What were you doing at the Prince's Mansion of Xihe the other day? All of your brothers were scolded because of you. Even your aunt and I were said to have not disciplined you well."The old Marquess was over 60 years old, but his face was ruddy and he was hale and hearty. Now, he could still practice the long halberd that weighed dozens of pounds really quickly that even water couldn't be poured onto him. When he was wearing a half-old Confucian shirt and sitting behind his desk, he looked gentle, not like a military general but like a civil servant. In fact, Jiang Qianchuan was more talented than ordinary civil servants. Otherwise, he couldn't t
After getting out of Marquess Qin’s Mansion, Jiang Yashuang went to Madame Tao’s residence and told her what Marquess Qin said. He looked at Madame Tao with hope in the end, “Grandmother, the grandfather said that this thing is depended on you!”“I know you are eager to get engaged. I’ll send the official matchmaker tomorrow, okay?” Madame Tao tapped his forehead with her finger and scolded him with a smile, “I watched you grow up. But I never saw you so eager! She is not your wife yet. When she is, I wonder if I’m going to be cast aside?”“Lanlan will be very nice to you...” Jiang Yashuang coaxed her in a hurry.Madame Tao said with a smile, “Okay, okay, okay. I trust your judgement!” she patted his arm, “Why do you keep looking outside? Can’t stay any longer? Eager to go to the Ruan Family to tell them the good news? Just go. While it’s still early, hurry back. You haven’t done your homework today, right?”Jiang Yashaung was thri
The next day, Madame Tao did invite an official matchmaker to the Prince's Mansion of Xihe.Although Qiu Mengmin and his wife were unhappy that Qiu Yelan married into such a good family, they had to exchange the household registered card they got from the Deng Family with the official matchmaker.Since there were still a few siblings older than Jiang Yashang who had not gotten married, the two families decided to be engaged for now and the date for the wedding ceremony had yet to be discussed.After being busy for most of the day and sending off the official matchmaker, both Qiu Mengmin and Princess Yang felt that the future was bleak, "We have done a lot of mean things to the little bitch. And she's the kind of person who holds a grudge. Now that she marries into an influential family. She will definitely take revenge on us in the future.""I know!"The couple sat opposite each other, full of sorrow.Howe
Qiu Yelan and Ruan Ciyi worried all the way, so Jiang Yashuang specially arranged Qi Shuluo's wagon to go alongside the Ruan Family's team.But as he said, with the royal family and noble families going to Mount Dizi together, the guard of honor, the scale and road conditions all led to the slowness of the journey.So Qiu Jinglan had been safe before they arrived at the residence. Qiu Yelan and others were relieved.The three brothers and sisters lived in Ruan's residence. It was not the old one that General Ruan had bought. At that time, they had no other property except the General's Mansion.This one was bought by Qiu Jinglan himself during the summer vacation last year. Because he was still a proud student with high hope of Xue Chang at that time, it was very close to the villa of the Xue Family.And Xue Chang, as an important minister, lived not far from the palace. In the same way, the manors of the Jiang Family,
They arrived at the place Jiang Yashuang talked about. Lotus leaves were all closely next to each other, weaving a tight blanket. In the middle bloomed white and red flowers. There were also lotus seedpods, singing birds, and croaking frogs. On the bank, there were tall willows and exuberant aspens. The cicada chirped without stopping. It was the most typical summer scenery.Qiu Yelan rode the horse here with him. Even though Jiang Yashuang chose to ride in shadows and the wind was cool, she had sweated after riding this far. Now standing on the bank, looking at the clear lake water that was hidden in between the flowers and leaves, Qiu Yelan couldn't help but mumbled, "I really want to go swimming...""There are too many people here. Let's find a place with fewer people and I'll watch out for you?" Hearing her, Jiang Yashuang immediately came close and said viciously by her ears."Then you will take my clothes away and use this to force me to
Kuang Qingwu came over and glanced at the intimate posture of the two playfully. He did a fist and palm salute and said, "Since you are safe, I can rest assured."Jiang Yashuang didn't like him. But Kuang Qingwu had taken the initiative to help before, Jiang Yashuang had to say a few polite words. He held on to Qiu Yelan and reluctantly returned the salute, "Thanks for Young Prince's generous help just now.""I didn't manage to help." Kuang Qingwu smiled, " Did Commandery Princess Ningyi hurt her foot? I have some medicine for the injury here. If you need it...""We've also brought it with us, so there is no need to borrow yours." Qiu Yelan immediately refused.Kuang Qingwu smiled and said, "If this is the case, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"He walked away so fast, which confused the two who were wondering how to get rid of him.Watching his little boat disappeared among the lotus leaves, Qiu Yela
