Especially the eldest cousin in the uncle's courtyard, who is the eldest grandson and is loved and valued by his grandparents. He has always been the only one in the house. For concubines like them, you have to let him do anything anyway, even if it's yourself.
A thing obtained by one's own ability.
Zhou Qingjie was already used to it and accepted his fate, so why did they think they were concubines?
After his father got him to work as a yamen servant in the Ministry of War, he just wanted to climb higher so that he could leave that home as soon as possible and gain some breathing space.
Who would have thought that the arrival of Qi Shilang would give him the opportunity to see that his elder brother, who had either beaten or scolded him since childhood, would one day bow to him and flatter him.
Although it has no real meaning, I feel very happy.
Zhou Qingjie's words resonated among the six government officials.
The identities of the government servants here are all the same, and their situations at home are not much different. They are all masters who can only swallow their anger when they see anyone.
But now that Minister Qi has arrived, it seems that his status has been invisibly elevated so silently and suddenly.
Let them feel that their backs can be straightened a bit.
But aren't they all looking at Qi Bao'er with fiery eyes?
Qi Bao'er doesn't know what these people think, and she doesn't want to know.
Because at this moment, she was being held up by her breasts and was looking at a picture album of beautiful women helplessly.
Her breasts are ready to be given to her second brother and third brother as a bride.
As for her eldest brother, Lu Qinghe went to the west to investigate the case. As a student, he was also taken there in the name of serving.
However, Qi Baoer also saw that her mother would not find a wife for her elder brother.
Thinking this way, it seems that her mother is not good to her eldest brother, but in fact, on the contrary, her mother is a little unfair to the other brothers.
She's pretty cool..., but her thoughts are different from those of most old ladies nowadays. The more she values someone in her heart, the less likely she will be able to make decisions for them all, and even more so.
It's such an important thing that determines your life.
"How about taking a look at this one? You look smart and smart. This one is also good. Look at your cleverness."
Qi Baoer opened her hands and let Qiuyu change her clothes, while looking at the two picture albums she held up in front of her.
At that moment, she almost rolled her eyes.
How should I put it, we don’t comment on her appearance. Anyway, she can’t tell any difference from the two paintings.
Where did you get this inferior painting technique album from?ъiqugetvt
"Nai, who did you get these paintings from?" She asked a soul question.
Mrs. Tian took a look at the portrait and felt that it was a bit unreliable, so she put away the portrait scroll and handed it to Zhuoyu.
As she clapped her hands and walked over to sit down, she said, "It's your Grandma Lu. We're going to the capital on the front foot, and your Grandma Lu is also here on the back. I met your Grandma Lu at the Deyuan Tea House.
Have tea there;
Grandma Lu said that she wanted to give your second brother and third brother some ideas to look at each other, so your grandma Lu sent these picture albums to your house early this morning."
When Mrs. Tian said this, Qi Baoer thought of another thing, "Mistress, didn't you say you wanted to hold a banquet at home last time?"
Recently, everyone criticized Feng Shu for being stupid, so she forgot about it for a while.
Mrs. Tian raised her hand habitually to slap her thigh, and her hand rose up. She suddenly remembered Zhuoyu's reminder that the wealthy old ladies in Beijing did not have this "vulgar" habit of slapping their thighs when they were happy or anxious.
Not only are we now an old lady in the palace of a princess, but we are also an old lady in the palace of a Minister of War who has real power. We cannot embarrass our granddaughter.
His hands paused in the air, then gently lowered them as if naturally, stroking the slightly wrinkled areas on both knees.
"I'm lucky I didn't post anything, otherwise our family would be embarrassed this time.
Yesterday was the birthday of Princess Qiaoyue. Her biological aunt was the concubine in the palace. It was said that Princess Qiaoyue was very favored by the concubine. When they got married, the dowry given by the concubine was worth tens of thousands of gold.
Princess Qiaoyue has already sent a message to the noble ladies in the capital. If we are holding a banquet, we will run into it."
Holding a banquet is not something you can just do on any given day. You have to look at the day. It just so happened that in the past half month, the only good day for a banquet like visiting relatives and friends was yesterday.
Qi Baoer was startled for a moment, "Princess Qiaoyue is already married?"
But after asking this question, she felt that there was something wrong with her question.
Sure enough, she looked at her with a "you are sick" look, "Princess Qiaoyue is already in her early twenties and has already given birth to two children."
Qi Baoer rubbed her nose nonchalantly. She had never thought about getting married, so she didn't realize that all the girls here got married at fifteen or sixteen.
Her granddaughter hasn't been back for so many years, and she doesn't know as much about coming to Beijing. Mrs. Tian continued to say with some satisfaction:
"Princess Qiaoyue married the Crown Prince Yong'an when she was sixteen years old, and gave birth to twins the following year. The children are now five or six years old."
Precisely because of marrying well, ladies and ladies in the capital may not attend the banquet because of Princess Qiaoyue, but they will definitely attend because of her status as the wife of the crown prince of Yong'an.
Yong'an Hou Crown Prince?
Somewhat familiar.
His mind was like a picture filtering through layers of images. In just a few breaths, Qi Baoer remembered who the Crown Prince Yong'an was.
That year she returned to the capital to save the emperor, and when she met Butler Qi at the Deyuan Restaurant, she beat up the young man who was doting on Lan Guiren's brother in the street.
Thinking of that young man, Qi Baoer also thought of the interesting girl Gu Linghua who was in the box next to her at that time.
Thinking of it, she asked, "Where is the second young lady of the Gu family?"
Mrs. Tian thought her granddaughter was asking because she was familiar with Miss Gu Er, and immediately a sad look appeared on her face, "Miss Gu Er is also married, and she is married to the son of his father's deputy general. Who would have known... Sigh~"
She frowned slightly and then loosened her eyebrows. At this time, Qiu Yu fastened the girdle for her, and Qi Baoer went over to help Mrs. Tian and walked out together.
"Milk, let me go for a walk with you."
Zhuoyu told her that the old lady was not in a good mood these days.
The old man comes to Beijing at least once or twice a year and stays in the princess's mansion for a few days. Regardless of whether it is for her sake or because the old man himself has strong communication skills, there are many people he can talk to in Beijing.
.
The old lady is different. She doesn't like to travel far away. Due to her inferiority complex and her poor sociability, she doesn't know anyone in Beijing except Mrs. Lu, who has recently moved to Beijing.
In this way, after the old man came to Beijing, his friends would come to the capital every day asking him to go out, have tea or play. During these six or seven days, he almost always left early and came back late.
The old lady, on the other hand, stays alone in the house all day. Although she is now learning to be a housekeeper, but the housekeeper and Grandma Ye are both great housekeepers. With their help, the old lady is actually quite good.
idle.
Isn't this boring?
When people are bored, they will think too much.
As soon as I think about it too much, all the worries and sorrows will come over me.
It seems that we still need to give the old lady something to do so that she can be distracted, so that she won't have to worry about the wedding for seven days.
