Concubine's true colors

Chapter 149

Outside the gate of Shuai's mansion, there was a sea of ​​people, because at the Lantern Festival last night, the old lady came in person and announced the marriage of the Xiao and Qian families in public.

Therefore, according to the list, today the Shuai Mansion has prepared a lot of happy money and wedding candies, as well as red cakes and red cloth, which will be distributed free of charge in front of the Shuai Mansion.

No matter you are an ordinary person or a beggar along the street, as long as you come forward and say a pleasant auspicious word, you can get something.

Therefore, whenever there is a happy event in this big family, the outside of the mansion is always very lively, and right in front of the Shuai Mansion, there is a festive and lively atmosphere.

The carriage of the Marquis of Huai'an drove straight in and stopped in front of the door, and then Qian Yunhong walked out.

The servants of the Xiao family who were in charge of distributing things outside the mansion saw Qian Yunhong coming, and because they knew that the other party was the uncle of the future commander-in-chief, they hurried to the front and congratulated a lot on auspiciousness, so they looked forward to this A young marquis, one was happy to reward them with some gold and silver.

But Qian Yunhong, who had a gloomy face, heard these festive words, let alone offering rewards, he directly raised his hand, and gave each of these servants a resounding slap.

This time, not to mention these servants, even the many people who were watching were stupefied. They don't know why this new Marquis is going crazy now.

Obviously, he was about to marry Miss Xiao's family, but now he beat the servants of the other party's mansion, and he was still in front of the Shuai's mansion.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, if the old lady hadn't publicly announced last night that Qian Yunhong was the son-in-law of the Xiao family, everyone would have thought that he came here specially to harm the Xiao family.

But in fact, they were right to think so. They saw Qian Yunhong walking up the stone steps in front of the handsome mansion, then raised his hand, and then preached with a serious face:

"Everyone in Changping, please don't take any more gifts from the commander-in-chief's mansion. I, Qian Yunhong, have only died of my parents for a month. How can I rush to marry a wife and have children before the three-year filial piety is over? At the Lantern Festival yesterday, I am at a loss as to why Mrs. Xiao announced the marriage of our two families in public, so I have come to the Commander’s Mansion today to speak clearly in front of you, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Qian Yunhong's words immediately sparked heated discussions among the onlookers. After all, the Xiao and Qian families are both prominent families in the capital. Yesterday the Xiao family announced their engagement, but today the Qian family came forward to deny it. In the past hundred years, such a dramatic event has never happened among these big families. For a moment, everyone's suspicions almost blew up the sky.

And those servants of the commander-in-chief's mansion who were slapped didn't care about embarrassment at this time. They were all frightened out of their wits by Qian Yunhong's words. Seeing that more and more people gathered around and the scene got out of control several times, they turned around quickly He ran to the mansion so that he could report the matter to the old lady.

And now the old lady is holding Xiao Jinyu's hand in Yuxiang courtyard, talking happily.

After all, although Xiao Jinxuan forced her to announce the wedding date last night, the old lady's heart is considered stable, and she doesn't have to worry about any accidents.

And because Xiao Jinyu's stomach can't wait for anyone, the wedding date is set at the end of the month. Seeing that the other party is about to get married in more than ten days, the old lady will naturally come to Yuxiangyuan, and put the dowry that she prepared a few years ago. Brought to this dearest granddaughter.

Accompanied by the old lady, there are also the eldest lady Zhao, as well as Shen and Qian. They are all Xiao Jinyu's elders. When a niece gets married, it is natural to prepare a heavy gift and tell her to be considerate. .

Now, Xiao Jinyu also lowered her head and smiled charmingly. For this twists and turns of marriage, it can be considered that she has settled down, and she is also relieved.

Even Xiao Jinyu is really grateful to Xiao Jinxuan for this meeting. Last night seemed dangerous, and her pregnancy was exposed, but when the wedding date was finally announced, although this concubine sister was exempted from dowry as she wished, the biggest beneficiary was It was her, Xiao Jinyu.

I was thinking so proudly, and satirized Xiao Jinxuan's soldiers besieged the Taining Courtyard for a whole night, but finally made a wedding dress for her. Before she was happy enough, the servant who ran back from outside the mansion, Hastily rushed in.

"Old lady, ladies and gentlemen, go and have a look at the gate of the mansion. That Huai'an of the Qian family is here. He publicly forbids the servants to give away gifts, and he also threatens that he has no engagement with Miss Jinyu. Now there must be a lot of onlookers. Hundreds of people were talking about this matter, standing there refusing to leave."

Hearing that Qian Yunhong came, Xiao Jinyu was overjoyed, thinking that this fiancée was here to visit her.

But when the servant finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu stood up with a pale face, with an expression of disbelief all over her face.

"How did this happen? What's wrong with grandma? Didn't Qian Yunhong give Yu'er a betrothal gift? How can he regret the marriage in public now? This is how granddaughter will see people in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu shed tears in panic, turned around and ran out the door, but before taking a few steps, she felt a tingling pain in her abdomen.

In fact, this is also normal, Xiao Jinyu is pregnant now, this pregnant woman is the most taboo to be sad and happy, otherwise it will be easy to move the fetus.

But what Xiao Jinyu was thinking about this time was seeing Qian Yunhong and asking him why he abandoned her over and over again, so she endured the discomfort, regardless of the old lady's voice behind her , staggeringly rushed to the front of the mansion.

As for the Forsythia Courtyard, the real behind-the-scenes person who forced Qian Yunhong to come here is leisurely playing with various kinds of fragrant tea.

I saw Xiao Jinxuan put the dried shredded ginger and the wolfberry of Hongdandan on the small scale specially used for weighing tea, and took out the exact amount, and then carefully picked out the cuckoo tea that had been dried earlier. The top grade, and then put together with shredded ginger and wolfberry.

Then she took mint, white chrysanthemum, some Shouwu and ginseng slices, weighed them carefully, and blended them into tea ingredients.

Bai Shu, who was waiting on the side, knew medical principles, so after looking at it for a while, he asked lightly:

"Miss, the first function of the tea you prepared this time is to dispel cold and dehumidify, and the second one is to refresh the mind. Are you feeling unwell recently? Why don't the servants make some nourishing soup for you. "

Xiao Jinxuan, who was packing the two kinds of tea into countless small portions, shook her head and smiled slightly when she heard this.

"No need for Baishu, this tea is not for me. You will send these two big servings of tea to Prince Rui's residence in a while, and when you see His Royal Highness, give him the refreshing ginseng tea , just say this is a small thank you gift from me to thank him for borrowing troops yesterday."

Taking the tea that had been wrapped into two portions into his hand, Bai Shu couldn't help but asked in doubt:

"Miss, what about this cold and dehumidifying tea, isn't it for Prince Rui?
Hearing these words, Zhou Xianyu's appearance in wet clothes appeared in Xiao Jinxuan's mind, she immediately frowned and said softly:
"Of course it's for Prince Rui, but you tell him that if His Royal Highness is visiting the residence, you might as well drink some of it for him. This tea is very warm and beneficial to him."

Bai Shu nodded and went to work. After she left, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help lowering her head, looking at the unused ginger goji berries on the table, she couldn't help smiling wryly.

In fact, she specially allocated the first tea to Zhou Xianyu just now. After forcing the old lady to compromise yesterday, when Zhou Xianyu left the mansion, Xiao Jinxuan saw him and sneezed several times. Although this detail is small, But she still kept it in her heart.

Thinking that the other party had been in the lake for so long, and stood there with wet clothes for a long time after coming up, she was afraid that Zhou Xianyu would not know how to take care of himself, and would not treat him well when he got cold, so Xiao Jinxuan specially prepared this tea, just to be able to drink The other party drives away the moisture, so as not to be disturbed by typhoid fever.

But now she wants to care, but she doesn't dare to get too close to Zhou Xianyu, for fear that the other party will be implicated in something because of her, so she made a big turn, hoping that with Zhou Xianrui's hand, she can make this The tea was delivered to Zhou Xianyu.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan was thinking about it, Wen Xin knocked on the door and came in.

And when Wen Xin came in, seeing Xiao Jinxuan sitting there in a daze, unaware of his existence, he immediately shook his head helplessly.

Stepping forward and nudging Xiao Jinxuan a few times, Wen Xin said with a smile on her face:

"Jinxuan, you really hold your breath. Now there is an uproar in front of the handsome mansion. The old lady is out in person and is arguing with Qian Yunhong in public. Then Xiao Jinyu has passed out from crying for two times. This is a good show. You ordered it yourself, I waited outside for a long time, but I didn't see you coming, and when I came back to see you sitting here in a daze, I was really worried."

Wenxin has always treated Xiao Jinxuan, who is two years younger than him, as a younger sister, so his words are always as casual as a relative, even in front of others, he will call each other Miss, but in his heart, Xiao Jinxuan will always be They are all his little cousins, a benefactor who changed his destiny when he was at his worst, and a master he can protect with his life.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, being disturbed by Wen Xin, she couldn't help smiling to calm herself down, and then stood up.

"Let's go, look at your excited face, since the play over there is so beautiful, if I don't go and have a look, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Whether it was the old lady or Xiao Jinyu, when Xiao Jinxuan forced her to announce the engagement of the Xiaoqian family last night, they all thought that she was doing it to protect herself and avoid the fate of getting married.

But no one knew that Xiao Jinxuan would do this. From the beginning to the end, she didn't do it for self-protection. Her real purpose was to facilitate today's show of remorse.

After the Guanyin Academy accidentally rescued Meng Langzhong, Xiao Jinxuan entrusted Zhou Xianrui to treat and revive him. After returning to the capital for a few days, news came from Prince Rui's residence that he was out of danger, and asked How will Xiao Jinxuan arrange the other party.

At that time, Qian Yunhong was busy with hereditary titles and taking control of the Marquis Mansion, so there was no threat to Xiao Jinxuan, but she, who was always cautious, still held Meng Langzhong in her hands, and she should leave behind.

Obviously, her strong sense of urgency is a good habit. It was originally a dispensable card, but now it has become Xiao Jinxuan's sharp weapon to restrain Qian Yunhong, and force him to act according to her request.

First he asked the Xiao family to announce the engagement in public, and then after the matter was finalized, he forced Qian Yunhong to regret the marriage, thus becoming the laughing stock of the entire capital, and being suspected and shameless.

Regardless of who wins the fight between the Qian and Xiao families today, the one who laughs last will only be Xiao Jinxuan who is hiding in the dark and watching all this with cold eyes.

Since some people dared to turn their minds on her and wanted to join forces to force her to lose her virginity and marry her as a dowry, the anger born of hatred in Xiao Jinxuan's heart would also sweep across everyone mercilessly, and completely wipe them out. Destroy it!
