Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 46
Moreover, she found that her attitude towards him was different from before.Thinking about it carefully, I soon realized that because I was going to be her fourth sister-in-law soon, so... she came here specially to ease the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, right?After all, she is a concubine, and she can't compare to Princess Wuyang's unbridled publicity.

"Let's gamble again." Zhou Qiao pointed to a dragon boat in the distance with great interest, "I'll bet on that yellow dragon boat, and I'm sure I'll win the first place! Come on, come on, and you all bet on it too."

Minghui and Grandma Shao both laughed and cheered, and each ordered a boat.

Mrs. Shen is an elder, she just watched them having fun with a smile.

Zhou Qiao urged Xiao and Princess to press another boat, urged Xianhui to press another, and shouted to Gao Chen: "Uncle Si, do you want to come and play too? One tael of silver for one time!"

Gao Chen specially escorted them here, focusing on protecting safety, how could he have the heart to play such a silly little trick?He got up, reached out and took off the purse, put it on the table, "I bought you some gadgets." Then he went back.

Zhou Qiao pouted, "It's really boring!" But then he smiled again, handed the purse to Xianhui, and then winked and whispered: "I see, he gave it to you specially."

Princess Xiaohe covered his face and smiled, "Look at you, you have to be so ashamed that people can't speak."

At such a time, Xian Hui didn't dare to look at Gao Chen at all, she was embarrassed for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, don't talk nonsense." Although she was a bit narrow-minded, but she was young and a junior, how could she care about it?He simply opened the purse openly, poured out the gold leaves inside, and then asked the girl to return the purse, and said: "Why don't we divide up these gold leaves and use them for gambling."

Zhou Qiao clapped his hands and smiled, "That's good."

Xianhui divided the gold leaves one by one, and finally came out with a single piece. After thinking about it, she gave it to Sister Qin, "It's yours. I'll ask your mother to buy you candy later."

"Mom, I want to buy candy." Sister Qin was very happy, but she was very happy.

This place is bustling and bustling, although Gao Chen didn't deliberately look at it, but he heard it all in his ears - she was smart, and resolved the embarrassing situation lightly and skillfully.On the other hand, Xiaoqiao has no scruples about what she says, and she has to talk to her sister later, she will be a girl to be married in a few years.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Qiao patted the table repeatedly, "It's started, my dragon boat must run first."

Princess Xiaohe laughed at her, "How do you know that you must be the first? If you lose in the end, you are not allowed to play tricks, and you are not allowed to cry in front of everyone, or you will be ashamed to death."

"I'm number one." Zhou Qiao shouted dissatisfied: "First, first!"

Xianhui smiled and said nothing.

These two are not easy to dismiss, thinking that when they enter Prince Qing's Mansion in the future, they will have to deal with them every day, so it will inevitably be a little troublesome.It's just that they are all trivial things here. As a sister-in-law and an elder, it doesn't matter how much you tolerate, and there is a lot of meat.

On the contrary, Princess Dajun and Shao Tongyun, these two... are the ones who give me headaches.

Thinking of Prince Qing's Mansion, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Chen quietly.

Probably because of the lightness of the summer shirt, it outlines his slender waist like jade, with flowing lines, lacking the grace of a fur cloak in winter, and adding a masculine air.Under the scorching sun, a strong smell of the opposite sex came out, and one could not help but blush and heartbeat if he took a second look.

Xian Hui hurriedly withdrew Xiaolu's random thoughts, and never dared to look again.

As for Gao Chen, he has been chatting leisurely with Shao Jingye, answering a few words from time to time.

He had no intention of peeking at his fiancée at all.

It's just that I inadvertently lowered my head, saw the purse in my waist, thought of the gold leaf, and my mind flickered... I remembered the scene when we first met each other.

At that time, as soon as I came out of the restaurant, I met a dazed girl, bumped into her, and accidentally stepped on me.At that time, there was still some urgent matter to be done. Although I was not happy, I didn't intend to be too much trouble with a little girl.On the seventh day of the birth, she said a few more words, and the people around her made wild jokes about her, so she had to say that she would pay herself a new pair of boots.

Shao's lady is number one in embroidery?Unexpectedly, there are many entanglements behind this sentence.

If there was no reason for this in the beginning, I would not have caused trouble for her with Golden Leaf, and would have defended her in public, and I would not have remembered her, nor would I have sent her back when she was lost.Afterwards, she accompanied her sister to Shao's house, saw Shao Jingyu bullying her, and then thought of the calculations of the Rong family's mother and daughter.

That's why he hugged her at the inn.

Otherwise, if a woman who has never met and has nothing to do with falls to the ground, she will fall to the ground, and it is impossible for him to rescue her.If you don't save each other, you won't be involved in the conspiracy in the palace, the queen won't recognize her righteous daughter, and the emperor won't give her a marriage.Thinking about it this way, it is really a coincidence that is unpredictable.

However, something more unpredictable happened.

"Ah... help!!" An exclamation sounded.

Gao Chen looked over sharply, and saw that all the female relatives had stood up, all of them looked panicked, each of them flinched and wanted to look forward, then shrank back, as if hesitating in fear of danger.

Shen yelled in panic: "Hurry up, let the woman who knows water go down and save people!"

"Quick!" Xianhui stomped her feet again and again, and said anxiously, "Go!"

Immediately, two wives rushed down, and two of the wives who were guarding Prince Qing's mansion downstairs also ran away, causing the scene to be in chaos.Gao Chen stepped forward to take a look, and saw that a piece of the railing was knocked missing!His complexion changed slightly, and he counted everyone head by head, only seeing his concubine Xiaohe Princess, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Xiaohe?"

Zhou Qiao had already started crying, sobbing, "Fall...it fell."

It turned out that the dragon boat pressed by Xiaohe Princess just now won and got all the deposits. Zhou Qiao and her laughed and pushed a little bit lightly. Just got hit.Who knew that the railing would break without hitting it, causing Xiaohe Princess to fall down!

Shao Jingye stepped forward and told all the female relatives to retreat, "The front is not safe, you all retreat to the back."

"Look at them, don't let anything happen again!" Gao Chen confessed, and didn't care to say more, "Deng Deng Deng" hurried downstairs to save people, annoyed that Zhou Qiao always caused troubles, and there was no end to it, but right now No time to reprimand.The bank of the river was already full of excitement. He led the guards to squeeze through the crowd, went up to grab a servant of the palace, and asked, "Someone fell down just now, did you find it?"

The servant hurried forward and pointed: "There, they are there..."

In the river, two embarrassed figures were entangled together.A young man dressed in pale emerald, holding a hazy girl in his arms, was swimming towards the shore.A few women who know how to swim are guarding the surroundings, pushing the two of them to the shore, and shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up! If you work harder, we will be there soon."

Gao Chen looked at his concubine's younger sister, who was wet and hugged by a strange man, how decent was it? !The reputation of a daughter's family is more important than life. If a crowd of onlookers can see it clearly and spread rumors, wouldn't it be all over the sky?Immediately yelled at the guards, "Hurry up, let the onlookers disperse!"

It's a pity that there were too many people watching the dragon boat race today, and the guards of the royal residence couldn't push them away, so they could only move slowly. After a while, they finally vacated an open space.

Princess Xiaohe has been taken to the shore and is unconscious.

Without saying a word, Gao Chen immediately took off his robe, stepped forward and grabbed Shumei, and wrapped her up.There was no time to take a closer look at who saved the life, and told the servants: "Take care of him, and reward him later." In fact, he was afraid that the news would spread and cause trouble, and he would deal with it when he had time, which was just a euphemism.

He put the concubine sister flat on the ground, pressed her heart hard to make her spit out the river water, "vomit it up, spit it out." Then he pinched her buttocks hard, squeezed again, and repeated this several times.

"Wow!" Princess Xiaohe spat out water, opened his eyes, coughed violently, and when he recovered from the shock, he realized that he was still alive, and couldn't help crying loudly.

She buried her face tightly in her brother's arms, choked up and cried uncontrollably.

Gao Chen heaved a sigh of relief, it's good that he didn't die, and then he looked up at the young man who saved him.

"Lu Jian?" he asked in surprise.

Lu Jian was wet and embarrassed, wiped the wet hair on his forehead and the river water on his face, and then saluted, "The king of the four counties." Looking at Xiao and the princess, thinking that he had saved the wrong person, I regretted it for a while, I really shouldn't have taken this trip, "Since I'm fine, I'll go back and change my clothes first, and leave."

Gao Chen didn't expect it to be him, so he was a little surprised, but people he knew didn't have to stare at him. He nodded and said, "Thank you for saving my sister today. I'll come to the door to thank you when I have time." Looking at Chu Qi, "Look up A sedan chair comes over and someone escorts Mr. Lu back."

"Yes." Chu Qi agreed, and immediately went to look for the sedan chair.

Lu Jian knew that the other party was unwilling to say anything. After all, it was about filial piety and the princess's reputation. It was understandable, and he assured him: "Please rest assured, the king of the four counties, I know the seriousness of the matter and will not talk nonsense." Come, without even looking at Xiaohe Princess, he turned and left.

Lu Jian felt very regretful.

Speaking of which, I really shouldn't have come here today.

At the very beginning, I heard that she was selected as a show girl and entered the capital. After being horrified, I felt regretful, hating myself for not making an appointment with her sooner.He even couldn't help thinking that even if she married someone else, it would be better than sending her to a shameful place like the palace.

After being so guilty and worried for more than two months, the good news came that she returned safely.

It's a pity that before I had time to be happy, I got another cruel news. Mrs. Zhen Guo recognized her as a righteous daughter, and the emperor gave her a marriage and betrothed her to the kings of the four counties.

It was like a bolt from the blue!
It turned out that her being a show girl and entering the palace made her heartache, and marrying someone else also made her heartache.

"There's no fate." Song Wenting sighed, and then drank with him all afternoon.

I thought that I could forget about her after drinking that boring meal.But the more I want to forget, the more I think of her beautiful face of Yi Chen Yi Xi, her bright eyes that are as bright as pearls, and the clear voice that is so sweet to my heart.

The figure of the girl who broke into the atrium for the first time in her life could not go away for a long time.

A few days ago, I occasionally heard Song Wenting mention that people from the Shao family would come to watch the dragon boat race, so by accident, I wanted to come to see her one last time, and then cut off the relationship.On the high stand, there was a beautiful figure leaning against the railing, it seemed to be her, the figure that haunted my soul.

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding, she seemed to have discovered herself, and felt someone's eyes cast over from afar.

— that's enough.

Marriage was bestowed by the imperial decree, she has her helplessness and hardships, and she has a bright future in the future, and she is destined to have nothing to do with her in this life, so why bother to entangle her?It's better to separate the two from now on, each with peace of mind.

Originally I was in a sad mood and planned to leave, but there were so many people, I didn't go far after walking for a long time.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the stands of the Shao family!The crowd exclaimed, "My God! Someone fell into the river!" As if she remembered that the color of the dress was exactly what she was wearing. people.

——It was not her who was rescued.

I saved the wrong person, but fortunately the person I saved was not her, otherwise she would be frightened and wouldn't say anything——I hugged the fiancée of the Fourth County King, so what's the matter? !Gao Chen must have swallowed herself alive, and she will not feel better, the situation will only be more troublesome than it is now.

But...it's troublesome now.

Lu Jian had a headache and felt that there would never be a more stupid day than today.

On the other side, Gao Chen personally escorted Princess Xiaohe back to the palace.

Then he picked up Zhou Qiao and returned to the stands. He only said that Xiao and the princess were a little unwell, without going into details.But Princess Qing is not a fool, how could she fail to guess what's going on?Therefore, he was not in the mood to watch any more dragon boat races, but led the female family members of the palace back together.

When they arrived at Princess Qing's Songyue Xizhao Hall, Gao Chen called Princess Wuyang and Zhou Qiao to stay together.

When the girl closed the door, she shouted, "Xiao Qiao kneel down!"

Princess Qing and Princess Wuyang were startled.

Zhou Qiao knew that he had gotten into trouble and made a big fortune, so he knelt down obediently while crying.

Princess Wuyang hurriedly asked: "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Zhou Qiao twitched and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Who dares to bully her!" Gao Chen's tone was very bad, his eyes glanced at his niece coldly, and he accused: "You will be 11 years old this year, you are not too young, you should leave the cabinet and marry in another two or three years. Still messing around like this all day!" He even vented his anger with his sister, "My sister will treat her better by pampering her less in the future."

Princess Qing frowned slightly, but did not speak up to protect her daughter's face.

In the palace, there must be someone who can control the situation so that the sky will not be turned upside down, and if the youngest son is not very angry, he will definitely not be reprimanded like this.

On the contrary, I was very worried, not knowing what kind of disaster my granddaughter had caused.

Princess Wuyang's arrogance also weakened a bit, and she whispered, "What's the matter?" Feeling a little guilty, he patted Zhou Qiao, "Don't cry, I'd better listen to your fourth uncle."

It is said that an elder brother is like a father, but the situation in Prince Qing's Mansion is a little different.

After King Qing entered his later years, he became a god, Buddha and Daoist. He only burned incense and made alchemy, chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha every day, in order to live forever.Gao Dun, the king of the great county, was confused, only caring about some fun things, he didn't care about anything else, and completely let go of the shopkeeper, leaving Gao Qi as a concubine and Gao Xi as a child.

Therefore, Gao Chen took on the responsibility of the eldest son and elder brother instead.

He recounted today's adventure.

"Is this okay?!" Princess Qing's face changed drastically, although she guessed that something happened to the concubine's daughter, she never expected it to be so shocking, she immediately pointed at her granddaughter, and scolded: "You, how can you be so nonsense?! "

Princess Wuyang's face also changed slightly, and she was so angry that she scolded her daughter, "You troublemaker!"

Zhou Qiao just whimpered and cried non-stop.

Gao Chen was a little annoyed when he heard it, and crying couldn't solve the problem, so he frowned and said: "Sister, take Xiao Qiao back first, and don't be soft on those who should be punished, lest you feel sorry for her and hurt her in the future." Waved his hand, "Go , I will discuss with my mother about Xiaohe."

Princess Wuyang was aggrieved by his brother's training, but he had to listen, feeling depressed, so he slapped Zhou Qiao hard a few times, "It's all your fault! It doesn't matter if I go back or not." Your palm is smashed."

Zhou Qiao followed his mother away crying.

Princess Qing had already made up her mind, and said, "Marry Xiaohe immediately!"

Gao Chen frowned slightly, "In such a hurry?"

Concubine Qing's eyes were full of worry and worry, "You also said that when Xiaohe fell into the water today, he made a fuss in the stands of the Shao family. But how would others know that it was Xiaohe? They can only guess that it was the Shao family. When your daughter fell into the water, Minghui was inconspicuous, but the future princess of the four counties, Xianhui, was the one who attracted attention, and it was passed around, but it became your daughter-in-law who didn't know."

Gao Chen changed his mind, and immediately understood his mother's twists and turns.

"So." Princess Qing sighed: "Even if this matter can be covered up, don't cover it up. You must immediately book Xiaohe's marriage and let everyone know that something happened to her."

It is clear at a glance which is more important between the concubine's daughter and the youngest son and daughter-in-law.

And for Gao Chen, this is also not a difficult choice.He and Princess Xiaohe already had a weak relationship, and concubine Wanci had always had quarrels with his mother, so naturally he would not be reluctant to part with his concubine sister, let alone give up on himself. Of course, the face of himself and his mother is more important, and his own A wife deserves more protection.

"If you're so anxious, you don't need to bother too much." Gao Chen thought for a while and said, "It's better to learn from the empress's method. A scandal can also be turned into a happy event, and everyone will be happy."

Princess Qing hesitated: "You mean, marry Xiaohe to the person who saved her?"

Gao Chen nodded, "That man is not a vulgar person in the market, he is a scholar. He also looks refreshing, and he happens to be young and unmarried. He was originally a friend of his son. Oh, he also has a close friend named Song Wenting. Sister Xianhui's future husband."
