Chapter 93 Mother is more valuable than child (4)
"Sister Ying's marriage is settled, and Brother Yi's marriage is also settled, because they didn't have too high aspirations." Ning Guogong snorted again, "Sister Ping's marriage is still undecided, it's not just because of the Shen family's burden , and because she can't see the situation clearly, her heart is higher than the sky!"

Deng Qi only said yes.

"In the mansions of second- and third-rate marquises and uncles who are proposing marriage, choose a kind family and let Miss Ping out." Ning Guogong ordered, "Look for yourself, the most important thing is that the family style is upright and the children are of good character! After getting married With our support, Sister Ping's life is not bad."

Deng Qi cheered up, "I've written down what you said, and I'll tell my mother right now."

Ning Guogong nodded silently.

Deng Qi thought for a while, then bit the bullet and learned Xue Neng's refusal to marry, "...the Xue family is so tyrannical, we can only let it go."

Ning Guogong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he glanced at Deng Qi coldly.Deng Qi was startled for a while, and smiled, "Grandfather, grandson did not say anything wrong. He...he said so, we can only forget it."

"Tyrannical?" Ning Guogong questioned: "Yangwuhou speaks like this, do you think it is tyrannical? Deng Qi, if I were Yangwuhou, what I said would only be more unpleasant!"

The eldest daughter who is loved by others, the jewel in the palm of her hand, why should she marry Deng Zhihan, the son of the enemy?Although Shen Mo was imprisoned in her hometown, her identity is still there, and she might come back at any time to make her a mother-in-law.People just mentioned this, so you say they are tyrannical?

Even my own father has to be so tyrannical, okay?

Deng Qi muttered: "Do you think I'm protecting Shen Mo? I hate her to death, but I'm just worried about the two children. Xue Neng and he... He's married to Yu'er, marrying A Yang to What's wrong with our family? It's obviously him who took advantage of everything."

Ning Guogong gave him a look of resentment, and said bluntly, "You tell Brother Han! He must give up, or find his own way."

Deng Qi saw that he was livid, and dared not resist, so Weiwei agreed.

Ning Guogong waved at him, "It's okay, get out!"

Deng Qi came in high spirits, but returned in disappointment.

The British princess and her niece Zhou Qi visited Jin Wangfu together.Zhou Qi has a very fair complexion and picturesque eyebrows. She wears a pair of peony skirts embroidered with silver and red embroidered branches, and a long autumn-colored black magnolia brocade dress with large blooming magnolia flowers. Shaking, graceful and colorful, bright and beautiful.She and the British princess are somewhat similar in appearance and demeanor, but one is middle-aged and the other is a young girl.

Qing Que affectionately called Mrs. Yingying "Auntie", and looked at Zhou Qi with a smile, "Right now, I can only call Sister Qi first." She winked mischievously at Mrs. Yingying, which clearly meant, "It's done after a while." Dear, I can be called sister-in-law!"

Zhou Qi lowered her head shyly, and the British lady-in-law glanced at Zhou Qi with a smile, "Ah Qi, the Jin Palace is beautiful, do you want to open your eyes?" Zhou Qi smiled obediently, "I have admired it for a long time, of course I want to have a full meal." Good luck." Qingque knew that Mrs. Ying wanted to send Zhou Qi away, so she told Nanny Zhong with a smile, "Take someone to accompany Miss Zhou out for a stroll. It's a good treat, don't neglect it." Nanny Zhong respectfully agreed .

Zhou Qiying gave a salute, followed behind Nanny Zhong, and walked out of the hall in a graceful manner.

"Auntie, the little daughter-in-law you chose for Brother Hu is really great." Qing Que smiled and praised, "Ah Qi is so beautiful and beautiful, and Brother Hu is a perfect match."

The British princess smiled bitterly, blushing slightly, "Aunt once told you that Ahu was engaged, right? Qing Que, that was wishful thinking by Auntie, and Ahu still doesn't admit it, let alone get married. "

The British princess is used to being proud, she cares about face-saving, she never shows weakness in front of others, nor exposes her family scandal in front of others, it is not easy for her to say such words.Qing Que was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "That's all for now, Brother Hu is your biological son, given time, he will definitely listen to you."

This is Qingque's heartfelt words.

The British lady looked at Qing Que intently, "Niu Niu, it was the first time I told someone that Ahu was engaged, not to you, but to Empress Zhang. Before you married King Jin, the queen asked Ahu kindly I didn't even think about the marriage at the time, so I replied with a smile on my face, "The dog has already made an appointment with Zhou's daughter, and I will be hired soon.""

The British princess smiled even more bitterly, "Look, Qingque, Auntie dug a hole for herself. Now that Ahu is determined not to get married, after a long time, won't the Queen be suspicious? It seems that Auntie is definitely going to blame the Queen gone."

Since I asked about marriage, I intended to protect the matchmaker.You said that you are engaged, forget it, it's settled.In the end, this engagement was a fake?Hehe, this is interesting.

Qingque smiled understandingly, "Auntie, you are worrying too much. On the one hand, the queen is very generous and will not take such trivial matters to heart. On the other hand, brother Hu is just throwing a child's temper right now. In a few days That's it."

The Duke and Duchess of England said in front of the queen, and the Zhou family also admitted that this matter is almost settled.If Zhang Hu was stubborn and refused to admit this marriage, did he want to turn against his biological mother and put his cousin Zhou Qi's reputation at risk for the rest of his life?No, Zhang Hu is not that kind of person at all.Not agreeing at the moment is nothing but disgusting with the British Duchess.But in front of close relatives, how long can he vomit this anger?It can't be for a lifetime.

The British princess’s eyes lit up, and she looked at Qing Que earnestly, "Niuniu, you said that Ahu lost her temper as a child, and she will recover in a few days? Is that really the case?"

Qing Que smiled, "Well, the child has a bad temper. Auntie, please coax him well and make sure he gets well soon."

Mrs. Ying said with a smile: "Okay, Auntie listens to Niu Niu's words. After returning home, I can coax this stubborn boy."

Qingque nodded again and again, "You coax him, he will be fine soon! Auntie, brother Hu is a good boy who is filial to his parents!"

The British husband and wife tanned slightly, "It's just him, what about a good boy who is filial to his parents? His parents almost didn't die from his anxiety."

"How can it be?" Qing Que objected, "Brother Hu is very filial, in the future he will marry Aqi, and the two of them will live in harmony and beauty, how nice it is."

For such a face-saving person, the British Duchess, I don't know how much courage she must muster to speak out her embarrassment and embarrassment so openly.She was really out of ideas, and vaguely intended to ask Qingque to help persuade Zhang Hu, but Qingque played it lightly, "lost a child's temper" and "you coax him", and then threw the problem back to herself. refused to take over.The British princess had no choice but to secretly plan how to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhang Huyu, so that he would agree to marry Zhou Qi and live in peace.

In fact, before this, the Duke and Duchess of England really didn't have the nerve to tell Zhang Hu about the matter frankly.why?She is guilty.Zhang Hu had begged her to propose marriage to the Qi family many times, but she had always refused in a high-sounding manner, "The king of Jin seems to be interested in Qingque, we can't compete with the royal family for a daughter-in-law."The excuse she used has always been that the royal family is majestic and decent and cannot be offended, and that courtiers dare not overstep.However, at this moment, the queen opened her mouth to ask for a matchmaker, how dare you lie to her face and refuse directly?Why aren't you afraid of the majesty of the royal family, and don't let the queen tell you a peerless daughter-in-law?
It is difficult for the British Duchess to justify herself.Therefore, I have always been afraid of difficulties and could not speak to Zhang Hu.Later, he actually wanted to turn to Qingque to solve this big problem.But it is impossible for the British princess to order or coerce Princess Jin to do anything, she can only count on Qingque's kindness and understanding.If Qingque talked about him from left to right, or played Tai Chi with four or two thousand dollars, the British princess would have nothing to do with Qingque.After all, Qing Que only lived in the British government when she was a child, and she left quite tragically.The Duke and Duchess of England knew very well that she and Princess Jin could not talk about friendship, and Princess Jin laughed at Yan Yan to herself, only looking at Zhang Hu's face.

Recalling a past incident, the British princess hesitated and said: "Niuniu, I don't know whether I should tell you something. When the queen asked about Ahu's marriage, there were also Mrs. Wu Dinghou and Princess Ankang. Mrs. Wu Dinghou praised Ningguo Miss Gongfu, Deng Zhiping."

The British princess looked at Qing Que apologetically, Qing Que naturally understood what she meant, and said with a smile, "Thank you for telling me this."

It turned out that the Duke and Duchess of England were worried that the Queen would be a matchmaker for Zhang Hu and Deng Zhiping, so she hurriedly said, "The dog has already made an appointment with Zhou's daughter, and he will be hired soon." It is also possible. Original.In the eyes of the British duchess, Deng Zhiping simply wanted family background but no family background, wanted talents but no talents, and had no merits at all.Don't make people laugh when the granddaughter of a collaborating and traitorous family marries the wife of the prince of the British government.The British government has been loyal for generations, and its reputation must not be tarnished.

After finishing her business, the British princess asked Qing Que in a low voice, "Why did Mr. Deng make a special trip to the village to pick cherries for you? Niuniu, do you like cherries very much? Auntie doesn't remember."

Qingque smiled mischievously, and patted her belly, "Since I got this, I have been valued a lot, and I have received a lot of generous rewards. Auntie, I have already made a small fortune."

The British princess was pleasantly surprised, "Niuniu, are you happy?" Seeing Qingque smiling and Mimi nodding, the British princess put her hands together and recited the Buddha, "Amitabha, the Buddha blesses Niuniu to be safe and give birth to a big fat son!"

Qingque smiled, "You think the same as my aunt. My aunt also wants a big fat boy. Her old man said that A Yuan was fat and white when he was a child, but he likes people."

The Duke and Duchess of England were startled, only to realize that the "aunt" Qing Que referred to was Prince Jin's mother, Concubine Shao, and she couldn't tell what it was like.Qing Que mentioned "Auntie" to be close. Of course, it seems that she and Concubine Shao are very close.Qingque, there is a good mother-in-law.

"This child was just called Auntie in the past. Now that he is married, why is he still called Auntie?" The British Duchess blamed.

Qing Que giggled, "Yes, it will definitely be changed in the future."

It was a rare visit from the British princess, and Qing Que warmly invited her and Zhou Qi for a luncheon, where they had a show and a drink.There is a ready-made stage in Xiefang Pavilion, and there is a small theater troupe in the house. The melodious music of the qin is melodious, and Tsing Yi is swaying water sleeves on the stage, graceful as a fairy.

Zhou Qi sat very close to Qingque, and asked hesitantly: "Sister Wangfei, I heard that you and Cousin Hu fought when you were young?" Qingque got excited, "Not only did we fight? We also hunted and hunted. Over the war!" He talked about the past vividly.

Zhou Qi was very yearning to hear this, with shyness and bewilderment on her smooth face, "Sister Wangfei, if I fight with Cousin Hu, will he like it?"

"I don't know if he likes it or not." Qingque smiled, "But why do you want him to like it? Aqi, respect is more important than liking."

It would certainly be best if a husband and wife respect and love each other.But how in the world can a couple fall in love at first sight and stay together for life?If it is a marriage according to the order of the parents, love and liking are not enough, then at least respect.

Zhou Qi bit her lip, thoughtful.

"I still want him to like it." Zhou Qi's voice was so small that she could hardly hear it.Qing Que thought her children's feelings were very cute, and smiled at her kindly.

When the British princess and Zhou Qi said goodbye, Qing Que ordered someone to hold out a beautiful golden nanmu jewelry box, "Ah Qi, this is a gift from my sister, do you like it? We will meet again next time, I am afraid that Ah Qi will Give me a meeting gift, alas, but the name will also be changed."

Zhou Qi blushed, took it generously, and thanked her, "Thank you sister for your generosity, Aqi likes it very much." Not to mention the jewelry inside, the box is as delicate as a baby's skin, quiet and serene. Evil, demure and elegant, is already a rare treasure.

After the Duke and Duchess of England and Zhou Qi left, Jin Wang Shi Shiran came in, "Is the princess free? I have business to discuss with the princess."

"What's the business?" Qing Que went up and hugged his waist, raised a bright and bright face, "Is it about the national economy and the people's livelihood, or the border security?"

"It's our family's business." King Jin carefully and lightly put his arms around her, with a gentle smile on his face, "Please tell me, my concubine, there is a metasequoia forest in Xiyuan. I want to cut some trees to make a table, is that okay?"

"Metasequoia." Qingque said in a thoughtful manner, "Metasequoia is very straight and straight, I think it has a strong character..."

"Then I won't chop it up." King Jin followed the good advice, "Since it has won the favor of the princess, I will keep it."

The blue sparrow is bright.

King Jin took her little hand and sat down in front of the couch, and slowly told her, "Yesterday your father left our house and was stopped and beaten by a dozen beggars. Fortunately, Brother Hu happened to pass by and rescued him, unscathed. After the beggars were sent to Shuntian Mansion, they were interrogated in various ways, and they only said that they received money from others to help them eliminate disasters. As for who gave the money, they don't know."

"The man in the lead has escaped. The person who was caught was a gangster, and he didn't know what to ask. The man in charge is being searched by the Shuntian Mansion. Niuniu, it is still unknown who is trying to harm your father. .”

Qingque sighed, "I can't even deal with a dozen beggars. How dare I run around on my own without a guard. It's just so frustrating." Thinking of Deng Qi, she couldn't help but frown.

"Don't do it." King Jin was taken aback, and quickly coaxed her softly, "Let's not be angry about this, huh? Niuniu, fourth brother sent someone to protect him, so nothing will happen to him." He reached out and stroked her furrowed brow.

His eyes were as bright as black gemstones, and as deep as the night sky. He looked at Qing Que with concern, and smiled slightly, "Not angry. A Yuan, if I was angry because of him, I would have died of anger."

King Jin sighed softly, "The little pregnant woman in my family is so beautiful even when she is pregnant with a baby. She smiles like a new lotus blooming, like a rising moon, and it takes away the fourth brother's soul."

Qingque was delighted, "I love to hear these sweet words!" The two looked at each other and smiled, holding hands together.He is as handsome as a jade banished fairy, and she is as icy and radiant as a fairy Gushe. The two of them sit facing each other gently holding hands, beautiful like a painting.

"Hey, fourth brother should also learn kung fu, okay?" King Jin begged softly.

Qing Que's eyes sparkled, "Okay, okay, fourth brother also learn Kung Fu, I'll teach you! I have been an apprentice, but I haven't been a master yet. It should be fun and interesting to have an apprentice. Fourth brother, let's learn kung fu. ! Shu Xiu can send it another day, please be kind and generous.”

King Jin coughed, "Niu Niu teaches fourth brother, and fourth brother will teach Niu Niu too, so let's not ask each other's teachers, let's not limit each other's cultivation."

"What use do you have for me?" Qingque raised her head proudly, "General Qi Qingque is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He knows astronomy first, geography second, knows everything, knows everything!"

"Yes, Niu Niu has something to teach the fourth brother." Jin Wangjun blushed slightly, "Well, the little copper figurine, there are also pictures of beauties without clothes, if the fourth brother doesn't teach, Niu Niu won't be able to understand. "

Qing Que is a reasonable person, after thinking about it carefully, she nodded, "That makes sense." They agreed generously, to be each other's teachers, to cultivate each other without restraint, and to give extra thanks.

While the two were talking, the palace gave them two baskets of fresh peaches, dragon king hat apricots, and a few delicate toys from Persia. "Your Majesty thought it was fun, so I specially gave it to His Highness to enjoy." The little eunuch who came to give the plaything was young, with a festive smile on his face.

The king of Jin sent people over, and stared at the toys for a while.Then, he sat down weakly and wrote a thank-you note by himself, thanking "His Majesty the Emperor" and "His Royal Highness the Empress" for their rewards.While eating the peaches with a good appetite, Qing Que looked at it with great interest, and praised maliciously, "A Yuan, your brother's handwriting is really ups and downs, and the brushwork is vertical and horizontal."

King Jin raised his head and opened his mouth to bite.He bit off a big mouthful of the peach in Qing Que's hand.

Two days later, Shuntian Mansion finally found the two escaped beggars.One of them died in a ruined temple, and the other died in a remote alley. They were both stabbed several times, with their eyes wide open, as if they were expressing their unwillingness.

Qing Que specially ordered someone to invite Deng Qi, and explained many times in a long-winded manner, "I always feel that someone is going to deal with me, but my place is heavily guarded and I have nowhere to attack, so I sent the vicious idea to you. After you Be careful when you go out, you must bring people with you, you must bring good skills, smart, loyal..."
