Cousin Chitose Chitose

After the second lady received the material, she immediately called Wei Jinyi over and gave her a lesson: "You can't handle such a small matter well, how can you count on you for a big one! Forget it, just watch how I do it first." , when you understand, when will you take over this job."

"Second Auntie, I also thought that Cousin Jiang was a guest, and that Eldest Brother valued her, so I let her choose first." Wei Jinyi seemed rather aggrieved: "The words of Eldest Brother a few days ago... made people feel uncomfortable. Guilty. If I don’t send it to Cousin Jiang for selection first, and if my elder brother finds out, I’m afraid I’ll think I’m scolding her again.”

Wei Jinshu said softly from the side: "Third sister, are you really selfless in doing this? Don't you really want to cut the face of my elder sister and me, and at the same time make us jealous of cousin Jiang?"

"I didn't... how could Second Sister say that..." Wei Jinyi lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Third sister, don't be in a hurry to deny it. Speaking of it, the third sister's ability to sow dissension makes my sister feel ashamed." Wei Jinshu sneered.

Although the second wife is not very smart, she is not easy to fool: "Don't think that you are the only one who is smart! Your little thought is not enough in front of me! If you don't want to learn from the housekeeper, just follow Mother told me not to learn!"

Saying that, the second lady no longer looked at Wei Jinyi's expression, but only looked at her daughter with a pleasant face: "Shu'er, tell me, if it were you, how would you deal with it?"

Wei Jinshu said without hesitation: "Naturally let the eldest sister choose first. Cousin Jiang is right, the elder and younger are orderly. Since we have taken care of the younger sisters last time, it is naturally the elder sister's turn to choose first this time. Sisters With mutual understanding, the relationship will grow deeper and deeper.”

Occasionally giving way to the younger ones is called being kind to younger girls, but if the younger ones have to be picked first every time, Wei Jinshu is absolutely not happy.After all, she is also a domineering person.

The second lady touched her daughter's head and smiled lovingly: "It's still my son who is considerate."

"Why don't you send these makeup brocades to the eldest lady to pick out first? By the way, you can tell my mother for me, and say that Miss Yi has a weird personality, and I can't teach it."

The second lady sneered, Wei Jinxuan couldn't move, and Jiang Yuanwan couldn't move, so could it be that she has to bear Wei Jinyi's anger?So what if Wei Jinyi is the eldest daughter of the third wife?The third room is a concubine, and its status is far from comparable to that of the big room and the second room!

……

Although Wei Jinxuan was the first to choose the makeup, she was not very happy.

Now that she has participated in the housekeeper's affairs, she is much more informed than in the past. She naturally knows that these jokes were first sent to Jiang Yuanwan.

"Third Miss really doesn't know what to say!" Hu's mother complained, "Fortunately, Miss Biao still knows how to behave, and she didn't do anything presumptuous."

While talking, Mother Hu looked at Wei Jinxuan's face, afraid that Wei Jinxuan would go to trouble Jiang Yuanwan like before.

"Don't worry, Ms. Hu, I'm not that stupid. Although the matter of choosing a maid a few days ago made me very unhappy, in the final analysis, it's just that I'm not as good as others. If my cousin and elder brother get along well for a day, I will be with you." She is so easy to get along with every day."

"It's good that Miss can think so. However, Miss Biao can win the favor of Eldest Young Master and let Eldest Young Master stand up and support her. It can be seen that she has deep plans. When you get along with her, Eldest Miss, you must be on guard against her." some."

For Jiang Yuanwan, Hu's mother never let down her vigilance.

"I see."

Could it be that Mother Hu thought that Wei Jinxuan trusted Jiang Yuanwan?No, they are just using each other.The arrogant and stupid girl from before is gone.

"Speaking of which, the prince is willing to help Miss Biao in this way, which shows that Miss Biao has a different weight in his heart. The prince has never cared so much about a girl before."

"You mean... big brother Xinyue cousin Jiang?"

Mother Hu just smiled and said nothing.

……

Although what Jiang Yuanwan said when he sent Wei Yichen back was not spread under Wei Yichen's suppression, but Wei Yichen's support for Jiang Yuanwan when he was "seriously injured" was still caught by the top pagodas in the mansion. knew.

Mrs. Tai and Marquis Changning are both fine people, how could they not smell something wrong in this situation?

Mrs. Tai twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, her face showing a cold expression: "I heard that Brother Chen and Yuanyuan have gotten very close recently? Boss, what do you think about Yuanyuan?"

Marquis Changning was rather calm: "Brother Chen has just broken off the engagement with the daughter of the Liu family, we don't need to rush to make a marriage contract for him, it will not be good for Chen'er. As for Yuanyuan - I have always liked this child very much, Lets see."

"Look at what! I will never agree to an orphan girl marrying into our family! It's fine if you are a concubine or a concubine, but brother Chen is absolutely not!" Mrs. Tai threw the Buddhist beads on the ground violently, and the thread Being torn off, the beads fell to the ground one by one and rolled into every corner.

If Jiang Yuanwan's father's family and mother's family have not been defeated, and she is still the noble Zhaohua princess, then there is nothing to say, it is the honor of Changning Marquis's family to marry her into the mansion.

But the problem now is that Jiang Yuanwan is still incognito.

Although Emperor Taizong, that is, Jiang Yuanwan's grandfather, rehabilitated the deposed prince before his death, theoretically, Jiang Yuanwan and her elder brother are serious descendants of the royal family.But Empress Dowager Liu was extremely afraid of the lineage of the former prince, Jiang Yuanwan and her elder brother did not dare to disclose their identities, otherwise they would be assassinated by Empress Dowager Liu.

When Marquis Changning brought Jiang Yuanwan into the mansion, it was also with the idea of ​​adding an extra layer of insurance.After all, the little emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age. It is uncertain whether he can grow up smoothly and give birth to heirs. If not, Jiang Yuanwan's elder brother, who is the first son of the former prince, will be the most qualified person to inherit the throne.

But now it seems that the hope of brother Jiang Yuanwan's succession to the throne is very slim, that is to say, the lineage of the first prince is likely to be silent forever.If Jiang Yuanwan was just an orphan, she would definitely not be worthy of being the heir of the Marquis of Changning.

Faced with Mrs. Tai's anger, Marquis Changning remained calm.

I saw him leaning down, picking up the Buddhist beads that rolled to his feet, and playing with them in his palm: "Mother, don't worry, just listen to your son. Under the instruction of the former emperor and the great Confucians, the emperor treated Empress Cishun with respect." The first prince is very respectful. Now the empress dowager is competing with the emperor for power, if the emperor regains power, do you think he will take back the first prince's children?"

At the beginning, in order to go further, it was Empress Dowager Liu who used many disgraceful means, so that her reputation among literati was quite bad.Although the witch-gu misfortune that led to Empress Cishun's suicide and the deposed prince had nothing to do with Empress Dowager Liu on the surface, many people believed that it was caused by Empress Dowager Liu.After all, the East Palace is one line after another, and the biggest beneficiary is the Empress Dowager Liu.

As the son of the Empress Dowager Liu, if the little emperor can welcome back the children of the former prince after securing the throne, it will greatly improve the reputation of him and the Empress Dowager Liu, and also fulfill the last wish of the late emperor. Why would he refuse? ?

When Jiang Yuanwan's elder brother returns to the royal family, in order to appease the former prince's lineage and literati, the emperor will make Jiang Yuanwan's elder brother a prince no matter what. As long as he is an idle clan, he will have all the glory and wealth in his life.

Mrs. Tai thought of this, and her complexion finally improved: "Forget it, if Yuanyuan and her elder brother can really recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, I don't disagree with her and Brother Chen...but now..." Thinking of Mrs. Tai couldn't help frowning for Wei Yichen's actions to defend Jiang Yuanwan.

"Brother Chen has also reached Mu Shaoai's age, so it's normal for him to have other thoughts about his cousin. Yuanyuan is still young, so it's not good to talk about marriage too early. If Brother Chen really likes Yuanyuan, Yuan, let him wait."

Under the balance, Marquis Changning actually acquiesced in Wei Yichen's pursuit of Jiang Yuanwan.

It has to be said that in this respect, Wei Yichen knew his father very well.

……

After handing over the new maid to Hongyu and Hongxing, Jiang Yuanwan plunged into the pile of ledgers again, naturally not noticing the strange expressions of the people around her.

Until a few days later, she was stopped by Wei Jinxuan on the way, and Wei Jinxuan said to her with a smile: "I know everything about Cousin Jiang and elder brother. If you had told our elder brother Xinyue earlier You, I'm afraid there won't be so many people against you."

Jiang Yuanwan frowned at Wei Jinxuan's words: "Why can't I understand what the eldest cousin is talking about?"

"Don't you know?" Wei Jinxuan was a little surprised: "Second Aunt's dealing with things was unfair, and the fact that Elder Brother stood up for you has spread throughout the house."

"Did the second aunt not block the news?" It shouldn't be, the second wife and the three ladies of the Wei family were reprimanded by Wei Yichen at that time, and they were all ashamed.Why would the second lady not try to cover up this kind of thing?

"I don't know that."

Anyway, either Wei Jinyi resented the second wife for taking the opportunity to retaliate, or Wei Yichen deliberately released a message to show love to Jiang Yuanwan from the air?Otherwise, maybe it was the Marquis of Changning?

Wei Jinxuan said that since she wasn't involved in the rumors anyway, she didn't bother to investigate further.

Jiang Yuanwan's temples twitched, as if a fire was burning in her heart, she wished she could rush to Wei Yichen and punch Wei Yichen hard on his handsome face.

However, when she thought that Wei Yichen would show up on that day because she asked Wei Yichen to find a way to help in order to ensure that Liu Yun and Qingyin were brought under her command, Jiang Yuanwan felt a little unreasonable.

After all, it was her lack of thoughtfulness...

Jiang Yuanwan's expression was a bit scary, Wei Jinxuan asked cautiously from the side: "Could it be, Cousin Jiang, you don't like elder brother?"

Wei Jinxuan really didn't understand Jiang Yuanwan's psychology.If she were Jiang Yuanwan, she would definitely die laughing if she could win the favor of her young and handsome cousin who is the heir of the Hou family.

"My cousin has always taken care of me. Of course I like him. He is like a big brother to me."

Jiang Yuanwan was young, didn't know what love was like, and hadn't thought about it at all. When such an accident happened suddenly, her head would explode.

"Cousin Jiang, this isn't really a bad thing, is it?" Wei Jinxuan saw that Jiang Yuanwan's entanglement was not just pretending, and instead persuaded Jiang Yuanwan: "Father has always liked you, if he knew that big brother liked you, maybe he would agree with you and big brother matters." Of course, it's hard to say whether it's a wife or a concubine.

"Even if elder brother can't marry you, there is no harm to you with such news. The servants in the mansion are a bunch of snobbish eyes. With elder brother protecting you, they will treat you more wholeheartedly in the future. Second aunt will also I dare not make things difficult for you at will. In the future, if you want to ask big brother for help, it will be justifiable."

As for reputation, the people of Daqi are open-minded. It is nothing to like someone when you are unmarried. As long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, there will be no problem.

If Wei Yichen could always like Jiang Yuanwan, Wei Jinxuan could continue to make deals with Wei Yichen indirectly through Jiang Yuanwan!Wei Jinxuan's marriage has not yet been decided, and her brother has not yet become an official. In the future, it would be great if he could get some help from Wei Yichen in his official career.

Wei Jinxuan felt that in terms of being an official, her father, Marquis Changning, could not be counted on.

Jiang Yuanwan's expression was gloomy, and after a while, she said, "I will think about it."
