Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 16
"Brother, you are here!" Seeing her elder brother Jiang Chiyi coming, Jiang Zhaoer glanced at Wei Yingning with a smirk, then ran towards him, tiptoed to his ear and said, "Brother, this lady Wei is the same I am very congenial, and you must like it too, it depends on whether people think of you or not."

Jiang Chiyi still had a suave look, gritted his back molars and said in a low voice: "If there is someone who is destined, he will definitely fall in love with him."

Jiang Zhaoer smiled indifferently, then took a step back and stood still, looked at Wei Yingning again, turned her head and warned solemnly: "Don't deceive her that she is new to the capital and doesn't know about your affairs. If you sincerely ask If you want to marry, you must not deceive others."

"I know, I know, you don't have to talk too much." Jiang Chiyi said and walked towards Wei Yingning.

With a smile on his face, he reported his family name to Wei Yingning in a personable manner.

Wei Yingning had never experienced such a thing before, so he felt a little uncomfortable.Fortunately, it was Jiang Chiyi who was mature, prudent, and sociable, so a few words quickly made her let her guard down.In addition, his younger sister Jiang Zhaoer assisted from the side, and she was able to chat with the two of them happily.

All the people from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War are easy to get along with.

Just like this, the doubts in Wei Yingning's heart became more and more serious.Such a good family, such a good son, why hasn't he married for a long time?

As if she had a tacit understanding, just when she was puzzled by this question, Jiang Zhao'er saw that her brother had a good conversation with her but he still didn't explain what he asked to explain earlier, so he finally couldn't help it.

She called Wei Yingning aside, and asked bluntly, "Sister Wei, what do you think of my brother? If my brother wants to marry sister Wei, would she be willing?"

Wei Yingning was immediately a little ashamed by this sudden question.

She has not forgotten the purpose of her father calling her to this spring feast.If someone tried to pull her along, she followed the trend.But why are we talking about marriage?It was still proposed by the thirteen or fourteen year old girl in front of me...

This kind of thing made her feel more at a loss than seeing the scariest ghost.

After being dazed for a while, she replied: "The matter of marriage is the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. How about my sister..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought that the mother and son in the Shangshu Mansion are extraordinary!Then why is she so shy?So, she changed the subject, faced Jiang Zhaoer's question, and replied: "Brother Ling is handsome and humorous. If you and my parents both intend to become good friends of Qin and Jin, I will obey."

"Even if my elder brother was frivolous when he was young, he already has a family and a son, and my sister is also willing?" Jiang Zhaoer blurted out, looking into Wei Yingning's eyes full of worry.

There is a concubine who has a son... but it turns out that this is the reason why Jiang Chiyi has not married a wife in his [-]s!Such a romantic thing, which noble girl would marry him?
At some point, Jiang Chiyi appeared behind her and Jiang Zhaoer.He changed from his previous proud posture, and his expression looked serious and a bit narrow.

He naturally heard what his sister said to Wei Yingning - he should have told Wei Yingning earlier, but he still didn't know how to speak.

He really likes this lady of the Wei family.He was afraid that if he told her about himself, she would avoid him like other young ladies.

"Sorry Mrs. Wei." He said ashamedly, "I should have explained to you earlier."

Wei Yingning wrung his fingers secretly, although he kept smiling, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Actually, my mother asked your mother what she meant beforehand." Jiang Chiyi told her. "Your mother said that your father regards you as a treasure and has always spoiled you. As long as you agree with me, everything can be done."

Wei Yingning thought of it early in the morning, and today's appearance is by no means accidental.

Although Mrs. Liu is a stepmother, she puts all her attention on the Wei family.Over the years she has presided over Zhongfei, she has never caused the Wei family to be wronged.Wei Yingning, the daughter of her ex-wife, has never treated her badly.Regarding the marriage, she must have inquired about it from many parties before she agreed to let this happen today, right?

"If you sincerely ask for marriage, how will you arrange your outer room?" Wei Yingning wanted to confirm how much trouble was behind this.

"My outer room..." Jiang Chiyi showed some sadness, "I died of illness two years ago, leaving behind a four-year-old child who is being raised outside by my nanny."

"My elder brother has not yet married, and my parents will never agree to bring the child back to the mansion." Jiang Zhaoer followed his words, "My father and mother said that whether the child can be brought back to the mansion in the future will be decided by the future sister-in-law. .”

This was the case.It's no wonder that mother Liu has followed Mrs. Jiang's "mischief" this time.

The concubine is no longer alive, and there is only one concubine left, and the master and mistress of the family are sensible, if they marry and become their daughter-in-law, it may not be a disadvantage.

This does not go against what his father often said: the family that Ah Ning wants to marry may not necessarily be a famous and powerful family, as long as the family-in-law and mother-in-law treat her well, and the husband loves her and protects her, then it will be good.

In this way, Wei Yingning has nothing to worry about.Sooner or later, she was going to get married, she knew she was not young, if she stayed at home for another year or two, it would probably make the Wei family laugh at her.

She looked around and finally settled on a nearby willow tree.Immediately she ordered Ah Man to break a few willow branches, handed them to Jiang Chiyi and said, "Young Master Jiang, take this willow branch back and put it in a bottle. After three days, I will send you a letter. If it doesn't work, Abandon this willow. If it succeeds, I hope it will be planted in the bride's garden, and it can be used as a token of affection."

"Okay!" Jiang Chiyi agreed, holding the hands of the willow branches, as if holding a treasure that cannot be obtained again in this world.

No matter how embarrassed Wei Yingning was to stay, don't let the brother and sister leave in a hurry with Ah Man.

"Miss, you just handed it over to yourself?" Ah Man was speechless, "This matter is of great importance. The Lord knows it, so it may not be..."

"It's because the matter is so important that I made an appointment for those three days." Wei Yingning said, "Three days are enough to determine a person's character."

On the other side, Jiang Chiyi was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of the willow branches on the island, so he said to his sister Jiang Zhaoer: "I'll go back to the mansion first to raise the willow branches, and you can go and tell your mother."

"Okay." Jiang Zhao'er was also excited, she didn't mind her brother going home early.

"Say what should be said, and don't say what should not be said." Jiang Chiyi reminded, "In order not to embarrass Mrs. Wei by mother's bluffing."

"I know."

However, when Jiang Chiyi came to the pier, he said that he wanted to go back to the mansion first, but the boatman refused. Instead, he called two servants of the British government from a boat.

"The luncheon is about to start, Mr. Jiang, why are you going back now?" the leader asked with a smile on his face.But without waiting for Jiang Chiyi's answer, he said again: "My wife has ordered that no one is allowed to leave Huxin Island before the spring feast is over today."
