The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 142

"I also said that I never had a second choice."

Qin Niangzi's voice was not loud at all, it was extremely weak.

Xu Fengjia's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"Yang Qi, you have such a stubborn temper towards everyone, how did you get to where you are today?" But when he spoke, he clearly suppressed his anger. As sharp as a blade. "Can't you be soft on me and say something nice?"

Seventh Lady suddenly relaxed.

Facing Xu Fengjia, she could easily push herself too hard. She knew that he was too aggressive and demanding, so she took extra precautions and did not dare to give Xu Fengjia any openings.

But he let himself go just now... just let go of his explicit refusal.

If she wanted to threaten to leave, Qin Niangzi had no other choice, she needed Xu Fengjia to stay, even if it meant facing herself reluctantly, she had to do so.

God knows how afraid she is of this... After wearing the mask for so long, she hardly remembers what it's like to expose her real self in front of another person.

"But I'm going to say something nice," she said with a little smile in her voice, "I'm just lying to you."

Xu Fengjia clenched the hair in her hands angrily, causing a slight pain.Seventh Lady exhaled softly, and clapped his hand unhappily, "It hurts, let go."

"beg me."

"Childish!" Qin Niangzi tried hard to break off Xu Fengjia's fingers, but she couldn't match the general's strength. "You rascal!"

"Please." Mr. Xu didn't take it as disobedience, and continued to ask.

Qin Niangzi had no choice but to be the more mature one, "Sheng Luan, please let go..."

Only then did Shizi let go willingly, she quickly snatched all the strands of hair, and pushed the hair to the far side, then relaxed and lay down on the pillow.

"Are these wounds caused by water battles?" She stared at the fine white gauze in the dim light, and quietly clenched her hands into fists, "Westerners' guns are so powerful? Can't compare to..."

Xu Fengjia fell silent.

"Honestly?" There was a hint of bitterness in his voice. "Compared to when the sea was banned 30 years ago, the Westerners have changed several batches of guns, but we still... this time the battle was defeated. Of course, it is because I am not good at water warfare, but I misjudged the firearms in the hands of King Lu. , is also one of the reasons.”

Qin Niangzi frowned, and kept telling herself in her heart: This is the footsteps of history, no matter how capable she is, she will not be able to turn the country around. Besides, she is just a little woman struggling to survive, where is she coming from? The ability to care about state affairs?
She sighed for a long time, and murmured, "Going to Nanyang, it is a good thing to be able to bring firearms back to China. But no matter how you look at it, you are the most suitable candidate. You supervised it. Even if there is no business with King Lu, the emperor will probably put you in the fleet. After this trip, whether you can come back is another matter..."

Not to mention Daqin, even in modern times, it is common for people to die on ocean voyages.Although Xu Fengjia is young and brave, many things at sea are beyond his control.Compared to sailing on the ocean, she would rather he go to war, at least on land, he still fights the war that he is good at.

Xu Fengjia responded in a low voice, and then reminded Qin Niangzi, "Let's not talk about the emperor, even with my father, it's very difficult to shirk this job without a plausible reason."

Only then did Seven Lady remember that Xu Fengjia was still a son of the eldest son, and to be more serious, Duke Ping was the head of the family. Xu Fengjia could not go to Nanyang, so it didn't matter what she said.

Judging from the information provided by Xu Fengjia, this trip to Nanyang seems to be imperative.

"What on earth are you planning?" She asked Xu Fengjia softly, "It's come to this point, can you still not go?"

There was a little more smile in Xu Fengjia's voice.

"Want to know?" The familiar banter came out again.

"Nonsense." Seventh Lady blurted out without thinking.

A soft laugh immediately resounded through the quiet room.

"beg me."

Qin Niangzi was speechless for a moment, turned her eyes and ground her teeth, and finally humiliated and begged for perfection. "Sheng Luan, tell me?"

If this matter hadn't been closely related to her... She would never have begged Xu Fengjia!
Working with my grandfather for a few months and going out for a few years are two completely different things after all. For the sake of the twins, he shouldn't have left the family for such a long time...

In the deepest corner of her heart, she sneered lightly at the excuses she was looking for: No matter how many excuses there are, they are just excuses after all.

Qin Niangzi shook her head again, shaking off her wild thoughts that shouldn't have been there.

"Please, I won't tell you for now." Xu Fengjia laughed genuinely and rubbed Qiniangzi's head. "Sleep! I will discuss it with my father tomorrow, and I will reply to you."

Make a fool of yourself!

Seventh Lady turned around and glared at Xu Fengjia's side face angrily. After seeing that he had finished speaking, she turned sideways, as if she really didn't intend to talk about this topic any more.I had no choice but to accept this reality with dismay: on the issue of whether Xu Fengjia will leave Beijing or not, she is indeed completely passive.

Countless thoughts surged in her heart, there are many things waiting for her to do after consummating the house... She thought about it for a while, and couldn't help yawning a little, thinking only that this bed is shared by someone, it is so cramped, another day To change to a queen bed...

Then Seventh Lady fell into a deep sleep.

#
When she stood up the next day to greet Mrs. Ni, the dark circles under her eyes were so heavy that even the powder could not be covered up, and there was obvious stagnation in her actions.

Mrs. Ni laughed when she saw it, and her attitude towards Mrs. Qin eased a little.The old man joked by pointing at Qin Niangzi's neck, "Feng Jia is just impatient...he still has injuries on his body!"

Seventh Lady blushed immediately, bit her lip and said nothing.

Xu Fengjia left two or three red marks on her ears last night, which couldn't be covered up by her collar or palace powder.

Fortunately, all the men went to Menghuaxuan and didn't come in, otherwise the scene would definitely be more embarrassing - the two of them talked about it in the middle of the night last night, and Qin Niangzi couldn't sleep well, even though she was always reserved and showed inconvenience in her actions , is also inevitable.

The eldest young lady couldn't help showing a hint of joking, she glanced at Qin Niangzi with a smile, and pursed her lips into a slight smile.Fifth Young Madam was even more supportive, holding her mouth and couldn't stop laughing, as if what Mrs. Ni said was a very funny joke.

Only the Fourth Young Madam was embarrassing, she just curled her lips and pestered Mrs. Ni, asking her where she was going to offer incense on February [-] this year.

Although Qin Niangzi acted shyly, the reactions of her sister-in-law could not escape her eyes.

She and Xu Fengjia had finally consummated their marriage, which was good news for Liufang. After all, she, the wife of the Sixth Young Master, was already well-known and well-known, and her husband was in Beijing, so she could do many things boldly.

The eldest young lady's eyes just turned around the marks on her neck that couldn't be concealed, then smiled and looked away.The response was both decent and indifferent, fully expressing her outsider attitude.

The fourth young lady has been fighting at the border for many years, and the fourth young lady is inevitably lonely. It is normal to avoid this topic and a little bit of jealousy-although this young lady is not lacking in scheming, she is never afraid to show her willfulness most of the time Yu Jiaogui, it's not that she doesn't know how to do things on the scene, but she is too lazy to take care of them.

The Fifth Young Madam was the most affected: she had been in the house for three months, and she got consummated again, and she had many excuses to take over the housework.But the young lady's reaction was almost the exact opposite of her real mood, the superficial pleasure pretended to be real.

Acting school, the mask is worn firmly.Qin Niangzi was thinking in her heart, she was used to cover up her true feelings with false responses when things happened.

No matter how hard a person tries to cover up, he will still inadvertently reveal his character on various occasions. A careful person can learn a real opponent from these details.It's just that it depends on hard work, and it also depends on the stimulation of various events.

Seventh Lady has been married to the Xu family for three months, and it is the first time that she can really "see" the characters of the Xu family, instead of talking to a room full of masks.

While thinking about it, Mrs. Ni spoke again.

"Why didn't Feng Jia come in to see me today?"

"The son woke up early in the morning and was called to Menghuaxuan by his father. He said that he would go to the palace after leaving Menghuaxuan. I don't know when he will be able to come out." Seventh Lady replied softly.

Mrs. Ni's face suddenly showed a trace of satisfaction, "It's been like this since I was a child, the emperor and Feng Jia are inseparable from Meng, and Meng is inseparable!"
