On the second day, Jia Mu took Grandma Liu to visit the Grand View Garden.
Perhaps for the sake of fun, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Shi Xiangyun from Shi's house the night before, and invited Aunt Xue to come over and have a chat with her.
It is needless to say how many jokes and excitement will be caused when a group of pampered ladies and ladies from wealthy aristocrats and an old country woman gather together for a garden outing.
It's just that in the afternoon, while Jia Mu and others were taking a nap in the garden, Sister Feng, who had been serving for most of the day, finally got a chance to go home and change her clothes.
I happened to see Jia Lian coming back.
"Why did you come back early today? Have you eaten yet?"
Sister Feng asked with a smile while helping Jia Lian into the house.
Hearing that Jia Lian said that he had used it outside, and that Daiyu invited him to visit the garden yesterday, Sister Feng couldn't help but said: "It's a good thing she called you, but if it were me, I'm afraid the Marquis would be too lazy to pay attention. It can be seen that
People are always different.”
Jia Lian sat down, took the tea handed over by Ping'er, took a sip, and looked up at her: "I say, Second Grandma, you have to speak with your conscience. You can tell me, if you have something to do, I can come back earlier.
Didn't you come back earlier? The reason why I told you it was Sister Lin's invitation was just because I didn't want to hide it from you. If you continue to be so arrogant, I will just use words to deal with you next time."
Sister Feng was a little embarrassed by Jia Lian's words. Of course she understood what Jia Lian meant, and she was just jealous out of habit.
Sitting next to Jia Lian, he tilted his body and said with a smile: "I just said that casually. Looking at Mr. Hou's face, those who don't know may think I have committed a big crime."
He covered up his previous words with a smile, "Okay, no more jokes, I have a serious question to ask you."
Saying that, Sister Feng asked her about what she heard about Jia Lian arresting a group of clan members in Jinpin Pavilion yesterday.
It turns out that although Sister Feng was controlled by Jia Lian and was not allowed to get involved in foreign affairs, there was very little that she didn't know about the affairs in the two houses.
She didn't hear the news yesterday because she was too busy. Today, after Jia Lian went out, she naturally heard about it not long after. She had been thinking about asking Jia Lian when he came back.
Because outsiders are spreading rumors, she can only rest assured about what happened to Jia Lian when Jia Lian himself says it.
Jia Lian listened to the question and did not hide anything from her. He explained a few words casually, mainly to tell her that it was nothing serious and make her feel at ease.
But Sister Feng was very concerned and worried about such important matters. When questioning her, Jia Lian accidentally revealed the story of Princess Zhaoyang entering the clan's mansion.
Therefore, Sister Feng no longer cared about whether she was a member of the clan or not, and looked at Jia Lian, her eyebrows spread to both sides in a very vivid image, and her bright eyes showed an indescribable sense of scrutiny.
Faced with Sister Feng's look, anyone with a bad attitude would definitely show timidity. But Jia Lian was okay and drank tea silently. Sister Feng didn't ask, and he stopped talking.
After a long time, Fang heard Sister Feng sigh quietly: "The relationship between the Marquis and the princess must be very good. I heard that when the Marquis sent her out of the country, she was almost kidnapped by the barbarians. Fortunately, the Marquis
He led the cavalry to rescue her. She must be very grateful to the Marquis. Otherwise, how could she be willing to promote the two maids around the Marquis and give such a good maid to the Marquis..."
Jia Lian turned around and found that Sister Feng's flamboyant expression was gone, and instead she looked slightly lonely and gloomy.
Jia Lian's heart trembled slightly, and he knew in his heart that Sister Feng must have guessed something. But as his pillow, as long as Sister Feng is interested, she can always see something strange from the clues in her daily life.
】
Not to mention, he and Princess Zhaoyang were far from being extremely cautious. Just as Sister Feng said in her words, just relying on the identities of Aqi and Aqin as guards of the Princess Palace, and the princess Hu Yuanyao
The personal maids around him were enough to show that Princess Zhaoyang treated him differently.
For others, it can be explained by his life-saving grace to Princess Zhaoyang, but for Sister Feng, I'm afraid it's a bit forced.
So Jia Lian took Sister Feng's slender and smooth jade hand, held it in his palm, looked into her eyes, and replied seriously: "You and I are married couples, people who have made an oath in front of our parents in heaven and earth. Others and I
No matter how good it is, it will never get past you.
I know you are a smart woman, and I also know the doubts in your heart. But you should also know that sometimes, there are some things that even the men in your family cannot completely control.
So I can answer your question truthfully, but the result may not be what you want. But even if you don't ask, I can assure you that you will be my Jia Lian's wife in this life, and no one can change this.
fact.
If you believe me, you don’t have to doubt me. If you don’t believe me, even if you look for the root cause, it will be in vain. Do you understand the truth?"
Listening to Jia Lian's words, Sister Feng's eyes slowly became moist, and she shed tears gradually.
In fact, she had anticipated the relationship between Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang ever since Jia Lian was ordered to escort Princess Zhaoyang out of the country.
After all, there were so many civil and military personnel in the entire dynasty, who couldn't be sent, but Jia Lian?
This hunch was confirmed by a series of subsequent news and phenomena.
She didn't ask before because she knew in her heart that there was no point in asking. If it was as she guessed, what could she do?
Fighting with the princess? That's impossible. She didn't even see the princess in person, but just because of the Queen Mother's intention to marry her, she almost collapsed. Even to this day, the impact of that incident on her
She still exists, but those who gossip about her mostly only dare to talk about her behind her back.
But how could she not know that the reason why she was able to come out of a near-collapse and even be where she is today was not because of how strong she was, but because the men in her family were willing to disobey her to protect her...
…
As a woman, she has no power to resist when faced with power.
Therefore, she never thought that she could fight with the superior princess. She was not willing to give up, so she made a smart choice not to ask more questions. She was afraid that asking too many questions would annoy Jia Lian.
Today, she and Jia Lian have a deeper and deeper relationship. Only after they understand each other, she musters up the courage to give it a try.
Who would have thought that Jia Lian was so perceptive that he knew the elegant meaning of the song and immediately gave a practical answer.
So she cried and laughed.
This stinky man with no conscience even hinted that she didn’t need to ask any more questions! However, the stinky man’s words had almost clearly told her that things were just as she expected.
At this time, she felt relaxed, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: "What's unreasonable? I don't understand what you're talking about. I just ask you, are you serious..."
With that said, Sister Feng took a look at the room. The sensible Ping'er had already retreated to patrol outside the door when he heard the couple talking about something private.
So Sister Feng said bluntly: "Are you serious that you are done with her?"
Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to ask half-hearted questions. We must find out everything clearly. Anyway, the heartless person doesn't seem to be upset.
Facing Qiuzhen Sister Feng, Jia Lian sighed slightly and nodded.
Although she already had a very clear answer in her heart, when she really received Jia Lian's answer, Sister Feng couldn't help but tilt her head violently to prevent her vulnerability from being exposed to Jia Lian's eyes.
But she didn't know that there were tears in her eyes. As soon as she shook her head, the tears fell like broken pearls in front of Jia Lian's eyes, messing up Jia Lian's heart.
He quickly took Sister Feng, who looked like she was about to break, into her arms and comforted her: "Okay, don't feel wronged, it's my fault. You can hit me a few times or bite me, don't keep it in your heart."
Jia Lian knew that Princess Zhaoyang put too much pressure on Sister Feng. At first, Princess Zhaoyang, who had nothing to do with her, even dealt a dimensionality-reducing blow to her. Now that she knew that she was really entangled with her, she was of course scared.
Sister Feng didn't move at all, letting Jia Lian hug her. The more this happened, the more worried Jia Lian became. He couldn't help but hold her face to see what happened.
"What are you doing? It's so embarrassing."
After Jia Lian held her face and stared at her for a few seconds, Sister Feng became shy, her eyes averted, and she began to squirm.
Seeing that she was still shy, Jia Lian felt relieved. He understood that at this time, he had to leave time for Sister Feng to think for herself, so without saying anything, he hugged her and swayed his legs slightly as if coaxing a child. This made him wait for a long time.
After reacting, Sister Feng became even more ashamed and gave Jia Lian a blow to tell him to stop shaking.
Immediately, Sister Feng turned over and looked at Jia Lian: "She, your majestic princess, is willing to follow you without any explanation?"
Jia Lian frowned, thought for a while, and told Sister Feng some details that he had not told Sister Feng at the beginning. Including how Princess Zhaoyang was trapped and surrounded, how he led the troops to rescue her, and most importantly, how to rescue her.
The key fact that he and Princess Zhaoyang were forced to wander in the desert for a month was also revealed.
Sister Feng naturally understood that the problem happened at that time. It was so normal for a man and a woman to be alone, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, to achieve good things in the vast desert.
She was not surprised at all. She had already guessed that the two of them must have gotten close when they went to the Western Regions. After all, before going to the Western Regions, he had no conscience and refused to marry at the risk of offending the Queen Mother.
It's a blessing to say that. If the two of them had gotten along well before the Queen Mother granted the marriage, then even if she had no conscience and renewed her promise, she would have left long ago...
After a self-deprecating smile in her heart, her pressure suddenly increased again. Because according to Jia Lian, the princess and him were actually a "couple in need" because even she had never experienced life and death with Jia Lian.
, isn’t this the kind of heroic tenderness praised in dramas?
After thinking for a while, she met Jia Lian's gaze and said seriously: "Although I have never met this Princess Zhaoyang, as a woman, I know that no one is willing to follow a man so unclearly, let alone her.
That kind of status.
Let's do this, you marry her back to your family, I'll make way for her and accept her as my sister."
Seeing the difference in Jia Lian's eyes, Sister Feng showed her signature joking eyes, and then softened: "I'm not joking, nor am I deceiving you. There is a reason why I am willing to abdicate and become a junior."
"I know that you have great ambitions and want to restore the lintel of your Jia family. I have always deeply regretted that I can't help you in this regard.
Well now, if you marry her and have her help you, it will be much easier for you to realize your wish, and when the time comes, I will also be able to take advantage of it. I, Wang Xifeng, have nothing else, but I still have this kind of vision and knowledge.
, so just feel free to marry her in.
It just so happens that I haven't given birth to a son for you either. Maybe she is born rich and can give birth to a son. In this case, you will also have an heir, wouldn't you get the best of both worlds?"
Sister Feng pretended to be relaxed when she said this. But the dark look in her eyes and the tears that were holding back her eyes were still seen by Jia Lian.
At this moment, Jia Lian fell in love with this woman so much that he held her tightly in his arms and kissed her hair.
With her head buried in Jia Lian's arms, out of sight, Sister Feng had nothing to worry about. While shedding tears, she choked and said: "I'm serious, this is the best result for us. It's not that I, Wang Xifeng, am worthless."
, to admit defeat so easily, you also said that she is the most favored eldest princess of the Tian family. Not only is the Queen Mother doting on her behind her, but the two saints also love her very much.
Now that she is fascinated by you, she is willing to listen to you and ignore me as a stumbling block for the time being. When she comes to her senses one day, or you neglect her and make her resentful, she will not be so easy to talk to.
When the time comes, I won’t care about her anymore. If she becomes resentful and takes action against you, what should I do?"
At this moment, Sister Feng was not only a gentle little daughter-in-law sobbing in her husband's arms, but also a wise man.
She saw so clearly that the current relationship between Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang would be a big disaster sooner or later. Even if they kept it a secret, there was no guarantee that Princess Zhaoyang would not become resentful over time.
If a person of that status gets angry, the consequences will be dire. If she says something bad about Jia Lian in front of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and others, Jia Lian will be punished by death.
Compared with the difficulties and grievances in her heart, Jia Lian's safety and future are too important to Sister Feng.
Jia Lian also heard the seriousness in Sister Feng's tone, which shocked him. In his mind, Sister Feng had always been a bit big-hearted and brainless... well, not very calculating.
In short, she is a little girl who doesn't know much about the general situation and can only rely on his suppression to stay in peace.
He even felt that maintaining a good relationship with Sister Feng depended more on his ability to tolerate her. Now it seems that he is still a little arrogant. If Sister Feng didn't love him extremely in her heart,
Just his indiscretion with women is enough to cause conflicts or even antagonism between the two of them.
I felt a little guilty and couldn't express it. I could only hug Sister Feng and whisper in her ear: "Feng'er, thank you... But this matter is not as simple as you think. Now even if I think
It is not that easy to marry her into the family. Who do you think I am, Jia Lian? The princess of the Tian family, I can take her if I want it, and I can take her if I don’t want to.
All in all, you don’t have to worry about this matter. You have to trust me. Not only do you have to believe that I won’t let you down, but you also have to believe that I can handle this matter well.”
Jia Lian said, thinking of the disobedient female protagonists in later TV dramas, who always like to be smart and do things behind the male protagonist's back, and warned: "I can tell you in advance, don't do anything stupid because of your own emotions.
Don't take the initiative to find her. If you have any thoughts in your heart, you can tell me first. As long as you tell me, no matter whether it is right or not, I will not be angry. Even if you want to see her, I can do it for you.
Arrangements, do you know?"
Sister Feng was thinking about what she should do to help Jia Lian solve this hidden danger, but after hearing Jia Lian's repeated instructions, she said angrily: "I know, my mother-in-law is not like a man!"
While mocking, he caught a glimpse of something wrong with Jia Lian's eyes. He thought that he would have to go to the garden to serve later and couldn't mess around, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, since you said that, I really want to see this person in person who wants to rob me."
What does a man’s princess look like? Are you really capable enough to let me see her? And you also have to guarantee that she won’t bully me?”
Jia Lian still feels that it is a bit difficult to say it is easy to actually do it. After all, he really doesn’t know what Princess Zhaoyang’s mentality is towards Sister Feng. Don’t wait until then, and it will be bad to deliver food to your door...
But in the face of Sister Feng's rare playful look, Jia Lian had the nerve to break his promise in person, so he said loudly: "Okay, I can let you guys meet. But as you said, in order to prevent her from bullying you, I have to think carefully.
Be patient and listen to my arrangements."
Hearing this, Sister Feng didn't say anything else. She called Ping'er back and went into the back room to change clothes. But Jia Lian still stayed where he was, thinking about how best to arrange the meeting between the two. Alas, these two women are not
It's a fuel-efficient lamp. I really don't know what the scene will be like when they meet.
