Concubine's true colors

Chapter 130 Abandoning one's wife and begging for a concubine (1)

Baoge's kneeling really shocked everyone in the Forsythias Courtyard, but Xiao Jinyu's discipline of servants has always been strict, which is well known in the Shuaifu.

Seeing that Baoge was kneeling like this, it was nothing serious, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and wanted to help him up.

But who would have thought that as soon as Baoge touched his arms, the other party would say "Ouch" with a look of pain on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan frowned beautifully, without saying much, she just lifted up Baoge's sleeves, anyway, there is no man present, so she is not afraid of damaging the other party's innocence.

But when the sleeves were lifted up, Baoge's arm covered with bruises was exposed in front of everyone's eyes. Xiao Jinxuan's expression was still very calm, but Shen Shi who was watching couldn't bear to look away.

After carefully checking the other party's bruises, Xiao Jinxuan asked in a calm tone: "Baoge, how did you get this injury on your body, but it was hit by my sister-in-law."

Baoge shrank her hands behind her back in a panic, then shook her head vigorously.

"Miss Jinxuan, don't ask any more questions. It was Baoge who was stupid and fell and injured himself. It has nothing to do with my lady. You should follow me to the living room. I beg you."

Seeing that what Baoge said was a lie against her will, Xiao Jinxuan did not press on after all. After all, everyone has their own way of life. She is not the Guanyin who saves the world, nor can she save everyone.

But thinking of her previous life when she was young, she was often beaten by Bai Mama when she was in Meizhuang, and then, like Baoge today, she dared not tell anyone that she knew about it, Xiao Jinxuan's heartstrings were still touched.

Signaling Baoge to stand up, Xiao Jinxuan waved her hand and called Bai Shu over, and then said with a smile:
"Bao Ge, you can ask me to go with you if you want, but you go down with Bai Zhu first, and let her help you see all the wounds on your body and finish the medicine. It's not too late for us to go."

Hearing this, Baoge was stunned for a long time, until Bai Shu stepped forward to hold her friendly, Baoge recovered from the reddish eye circles, gave Xiao Jinxuan a grateful look, and followed Bai Shu down silently medicine.

And at this time, Shen's on the side looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a smile, and said very gratified:
"You are a kind-hearted child, but I am afraid that Baoge's body will be injured. If all the medicines are healed, it will take a lot of time, and it will be too late to go back. I am afraid that a severe beating will be indispensable. Jin Jin That child Yu is really ruthless, he looks dignified and delicate in the past, but he doesn't want to treat his servants so harshly."

Xiao Jinxuan had already placed the flower basket and brushed off the petals stuck to her body, then said with a light smile:

"What Auntie said is very true, so Jinxuan should go to the main hall first, so that Baoge can be given medicine without having to be punished."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan bid farewell to Mrs. Shen, and then took Zhu Xin to the main hall where the guests were received.

As for Chi Ling, who has always been with her, she said she had something important to do a few days ago, so she said goodbye and left. She is not in the commander's mansion now, but as for when, the other party didn't say, so Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't interfere. Ask carefully.

Just arrived at the main hall door, before going in, Xiao Jinxuan watched, all kinds of betrothal gifts wrapped in red silk and satin were piled up to block the door, but after a rough look, it was estimated that there would be more than twenty car objects.

This is just an offer of employment, whether it will be successful or not is uncertain, Qian Yunhong is so generous, if this is really a marriage contract, then when the wedding day comes, the Huai'an Hou Mansion will not be able to prepare more than a hundred cars of betrothal gifts .

Thinking this way in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan entered the main hall, and as soon as she entered, she saw a matchmaker in red and green standing in the center of the hall, holding a wedding brochure, all of them declaring the dowry names.

It has always been a custom in the capital to ask for marriage. The man brings the dowry gift and the matchmaker, and then the matchmaker reads the type and quantity of the dowry gift to the woman's family face to face. The more things you send, the greater the financial resources and sincerity of the beggar. .

When Xiao Jinxuan came in, she didn't interrupt the matchmaker, she just sat down beside Xiao Jinyu after meeting the elders.

Qian Yunhong, who was sitting opposite her, nodded slightly when he saw her coming, and Xiao Jinxuan smiled back, which was also a greeting.

Xiao Jinxuan and Qian Yunhong haven't had any contact since the farewell at Guanyinyuan, and now it's the first time seeing each other after returning to Beijing.

At this time, Qian Yunhong has also changed a lot compared to before. Not only is he wearing a purple gold crown hat on his head, which symbolizes his position, his expression is a little less frivolous and humble than before, but he is more confident and calm.

Now sitting firmly in the main hall, chatting and laughing with the old lady once in a while, it is also a decent way to advance and retreat, and it is indeed quite magnanimous.

Obviously without the pressure of the two great mountains of Huayang and Qian Ming, Qian Yunhong, the new Marquis, is still living a pretty good life today.

Xiao Jinxuan sipped tea and quietly watched Qian Yunhong's changes, while Xiao Jinyu who was at the side was also observing her.

Seeing this concubine's eyes fixed on Qian Yunhong, her fiancé-in-law since she came in, Xiao Jinyu immediately leaned over and said proudly:
"Sister, there's no need to look at you. Even if you want to see through, Master Hou won't take a look at you. He's the Marquis of Huai'an now, and my sister still sees her identity clearly. Don't think too much about it. Save yourself the trouble." Time to add a joke."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan raised her brows, turned her head to look at Xiao Jinyu, and looked at this sister-in-law, who was smiling so dissatisfied. She didn't say anything, but suddenly thought of that maidservant Lianxin who had a miserable death.

Thinking that Lianxin was pregnant with Qian Yunhong's flesh and blood, but in the end, this little prince, in order not to be implicated, killed his own woman and child with his own hands.

Xiao Jinxuan was really curious that such a mean and ungrateful person, when facing Xiao Jinyu, could have a bit of truth in it, but it was just because of the power of the commander-in-chief's mansion.

In the previous life, Ji Lingfeng wanted to marry the daughter of the Xiao family, and Qian Yunhong wanted to marry Xiao Jinyu in the present life. In fact, it is the same reason. These two people are definitely not lovers who can be entrusted to them for life. They just came to propose marriage for their own interests. .

Therefore, although Xiao Jinyu smiled proudly, her words were really tiresome, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't say anything this time, and responded with a sarcasm.

Because in her eyes, this sister-in-law is simply a poor wretch who is about to jump into the fire pit, and while the other party is still smiling, let her laugh more.

Xiao Jinxuan believed that once Xiao Jinyu and Qian Yunhong really got married, with the Hou Ye's cold-bloodedness and flirtatious nature, Xiao Jinyu's days of suffering and suffering might not be far away.

And Xiao Jinyu saw that today, no matter what she said, this concubine girl was not angry and ignored her except for a smile, and immediately lost interest, snorted and sat down again.

After another half a while, the matchmaker closed the betrothal booklet with a smile on his face, then approached the old lady with a flattering face, waved the red rusty handkerchief in his hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"Old ancestor, Mrs. Song, I have been a matchmaker in my whole life, and I have never seen such a generous offer to Lord Hou. It can be seen that he must have admiration for your granddaughter. In the future, when they get married, they will definitely love each other forever. It's good that you have always accepted this marriage."

It is said that the matchmaker's mouth can make the ugly beautiful, and the dead alive. Qian Yunhong is not bad at all, but now he is being praised by Mrs. Song. There should be no reason.

"I'm sorry Song matchmaker, don't worry about it. I can count on watching Yunhong grow up. My third son married a girl from the Qian family back then. Now that Jinyu is marrying into the Hou's mansion, we, the Qian and Xiao families, can also count on getting married." Getting married, such a beautiful thing made in heaven, the old man is naturally happy to see it come true."

But who knows, Song Matchmaker, who was still smiling, froze when she heard Xiao Jinyu's name, and then hurriedly glanced at Qian Yunhong, seeing that Lord Hou didn't mean to look at her, she He coughed twice, then said with some hesitation:

"Old Ancestor, Miss Jinyu is from the Shuai Mansion, so she is naturally a top-notch girl in the capital. But your other granddaughters are all better than Huajiao and Furong, and Mingyue is also ashamed to be called Mingyue. Although this Jinyu Miss Yu has also reached the age of marriage, but today my wife and I are here for the matchmaking of Master Hou and Miss Jinxuan. As for Miss Jinyu, as long as the old lady has a favorite grandson-in-law, I am willing to help you Run errands and match as much as possible."

Although Song Matchmaker's words were beautiful, she was also very uneasy.

You must know that the relationship between the aristocratic family is intricate, so this so-called mediator's marriage proposal is just for outsiders to see. In private, the two families will usually get through their temper first, and resolve all disputes of interest. Come with a matchmaker.

After all, the children of a big family are different from ordinary people. How can they really like a young lady, so they go to the door to ask for marriage regardless. If it is spread, not only the man will be laughed at, but the woman's reputation will also be damaged.

So when Qian Yunhong found Matchmaker Song and told her that the person she wanted to marry was Xiao Jinxuan, a concubine daughter of the Shuai Mansion, Mrs. Song thought that the Xiaoqian family had already discussed it.

But what the old lady said just now meant that she didn't want to marry a concubine to give birth to a granddaughter at all, but that she wanted to marry Xiao Jinyu, the jewel in the palm of the commander's mansion, to Qian Yunhong as his wife. This really confused Song's matchmaker.

That's why she couldn't stop turning her head to look at Qian Yunhong just now. She was afraid that it was the new Marquis who had misremembered the names of the two sisters, and there would be an oolong trouble at that time, which would embarrass the Qian and Xiao families. It's not good-looking, and she, the media protector, is determined not to do well.

But seeing Qian Yunhong, she didn't mean to change her words. A person who can be a matchmaker without a delicate heart will never be able to eat this bowl of rice. Therefore, she immediately understood that this Lord Hou is going to marry. She is a young lady from a concubine, but she doesn't seem to have gotten along with the handsome mansion.

Originally thought it was a lucrative and lucrative job, Song Matchmaker now felt that she had just picked up a hot potato, but she had already received money from Qian Yunhong, so she had to bite the bullet and continue to keep the matchmaker. .

As soon as Song Matchmaker finished her words, the main hall, which was still full of laughter and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, suddenly became completely silent.

The one who was most stimulated was naturally Xiao Jinyu. Seeing her at this meeting, the teacup in her hand fell directly to the ground, she stood up from the chair with a dull face, her eyes widened, and she looked at the girl in disbelief. Qian Yunhong.
