"Miss Man comes from a wealthy family. This matter will not have much impact on her." Qin Qifeng was about to start exploring her origins again.
A little upset, thinking that this person was a guest of the Jiang family, he didn't want to offend him, so he suppressed his anger, "I'm not from Yue. After my husband died of illness, I was disgusted by my husband's family, so I opened a house in a town near Mocheng.
It’s a small inn, I’m the only one in the family, it can’t be said to be a big family.”
He told his whole story in one breath, which saved Qin Qifeng a lot of effort.
Even if she didn't tell him, Qin Qifeng still had many means to know these things, so why should he be a villain in vain?
Jiang Shang and Lan Ting had told her before that Su Youwei had cleaned up her affairs and no one would find out about her relationship with the Su family and the Hua family.
The three of them talked about tea for a while. Manmei followed the mentality of saying more and making more mistakes. If she could talk less, she would talk less. If she could not talk, she would stop talking.
In the end, it turned into a small talk between Jiang Shang and Qin Qifeng.
Jiang Shang's gang is in charge of intelligence matters. Qin Qifeng is the prince who controls a country after all. They are both well-informed people and are good at talking. Manmiao is responsible for serving tea and water. After one night, it looks like the guest and the host.
Huan, only God knows what it is actually like.
When they returned to the inn, Qin Qifeng walked with them.
Jiang Shang sent her back to the inn. Man Miao entered the room and found that Jiang Shang had followed her. She frowned and said, "Aren't you going home?"
As soon as he returned to Jiang Zuocheng, he stayed in the inn instead of going back to Jiang's house. The blame for Man Miao's beauty and trouble was firmly laid, and it also made people have unrealistic guesses.
If you don't be firm at this time, Jiang Shang will feel hopeful. Since Manmei doesn't intend to be with Jiang Shang, there is no need to let him have this illusion.
Jiang Shang noticed the displeasure in Graceful's tone, his face froze, and he quickly explained, "Qin Qifeng's attitude towards you is not normal. I will sit down for a while and then leave to see if he will take any action."
Manmei thought about it. It was really inappropriate for her to have such an obvious attitude of driving people away. She said a little apologetically, "I didn't think well, I'm sorry."
Jiang Shang shook his head, "Since you have come to Jiangzuocheng, you are my guest. Naturally, I must treat you well and protect your safety."
"Where did this Qin Qifeng come from? I don't know him. Why does he feel like he's here to cause trouble?" Manmiao frowned and thought for a long time, but she had no memory of Qin Qifeng at all.
She was certain that when she was in the Hua family, she had never seen Qin Qifeng at all. It was impossible for the Hua family to let a female family member come out to entertain a distinguished guest of this level. At most, Mrs. Hua would come out to meet the distinguished guest, but she was the daughter-in-law.
, her husband is not around, so there is no reason to appear in the reception of Qin Qifeng.
But it is unlikely that the Su family has a relationship with Qin Qifeng. Su Quan is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. This kind of official position has no real power. He is no better than other ministers in the court. Those ministers have real power in their hands, and they are confident in speaking and have a strong back. The Ministry of Rites
Basically, it is a position with one more but not too much and one less but not too much. Otherwise, could Hua Feng and Prince Li choose to sacrifice the Su family?
Jiang Shang also shook his head, frowned and thought for a while. A maid knocked on the door and handed him a letter. He unfolded a piece of paper, looked at it, and handed it to Manmiao, "This is the place Qin Qifeng has been to over the years.
I overlooked it, but he once served as a hostage in Li State when he was young. This experience was not glorious, and not many people in Qin State dare to mention it now."
Manmei looked at the letter and saw that she knew all the characters, but the problem was that she didn't know how to calculate the era name. The Li Kingdom had changed emperors, and the calculation of the era name had to start again. Who knows when the ninth year of Jingping was?
She didn't even know whether it was the reign of Li or Qin.
"When did this happen? I don't always remember the year name clearly." Manmei could only pretend to be stupid.
Jiang Shang gave her a strange look. It was very strange that a woman like Manmiao, who was born into a well-established family and married into a well-established family, could not know how to calculate the year.
But the object was Manmei, so Jiang Shang was willing to explain it to her. He quickly did the math in his mind and said to her, "It happened 25 years ago. At that time, Qin Qifeng was just in his prime, and his mother's family had little power.
No one in the court was willing to speak for him. At that time, Qin needed Li Guo's help, so he sent him as a proton to show his sincerity. In those years, Li Guo's national power was much stronger than Qin's, and Qin's new emperor ascended the throne.
Need support.
Qin Qifeng had a very difficult time in Li State back then. The current emperor of Li State had not yet ascended the throne, and various countries did not value the princes sent as hostages, so he suffered a lot."
Manmiao thought that he had stayed in Li State and probably knew a lot of people in Li State's capital at that time. She thought for a moment, "When he was in Li State, he probably wouldn't have much contact with people from the Hua family. After all, the princes of other countries and his own
Contact with military generals has always been a taboo for the imperial courts of various countries. The Hua family would not be so ignorant, but it is possible that they have had contact with my family."
Jiang Shang shook his head and handed over another piece of paper, "I thought so too, so I ordered someone to find Su Lao Shangshu's resume. In those years, Su Lao Shangshu was sent to other places and never returned to the capital.
"
Black smoke was coming out of Man Miao's head, "What on earth is going on? What is he doing to me for no reason?"
Jiang Shang took the letter that Man Miao had left on the table, folded it and put it away in the original envelope. He comforted her and said, "I don't think he has any ill intentions towards you, but his motives are a bit strange. Ordinarily you have nothing to deserve him."
Such a troublesome place.”
Man Miao shrugged, "Isn't that right? I have neither power nor wealth. People of his age and power have many beauties of all kinds. It's too ridiculous to covet my beauty just by looking at me once."
?I am not a beautiful woman who can conquer the entire country."
Jiang Shang laughed when he heard what she said, "You have your own merits. It wouldn't be surprising if he likes you, but he and you have never met. This attitude is strange. I will ask people to find out.
, just don’t worry in this inn, he won’t mess around.”
After talking for a while, and seeing that Qin Qifeng didn't seem to be moving any more, Jiang Shang left.
At night, I was making tea and analyzing. After working so late, I was tired and sleepy, so Mei Miao naturally fell asleep.
At three o'clock in the morning, almost lunch time, Manmei got up. The maid helped her change her clothes. Jiang Shang came to her room and took a box in his hand.
She was sitting on the dressing table, and the maid was combing her hair into a bun. She watched Jiang Shang put the box on the table, stretched out his hand to put the messy hair on his face behind his ears, and asked curiously, "What did you give me?"
If it wasn't given to her on purpose, why bring it to this house?
