Chapter 19
Hou Fangqing has been seriously ill for the past few days, and has been in a coma. King Qi sent the imperial physician in the palace, and also sent high-quality millennium ginseng, and only then did he rescue him.

Although he recovered his life, he stayed behind closed doors all day long in the mansion, depressed and depressed, shutting himself in his room all day long to paint.

All of his paintings were of Qin Zhen, and when he was tired of painting, he stared at the red plums lying in the snow outside the window.

Suddenly the girl's hearty laughter came, a heroic, innocent girl dressed in red appeared in the courtyard, she quietly stepped forward, stood in front of the window, made a face at Hou Fangqing, and said with a smile: "Young master!" What are you looking at?"

Hou Fangqing frowned, then turned and went to the table, ignoring Shen Yinger.

Shen Ying'er curled her lips, pushed the door in, walked in front of Hou Fangqing with a smile, glanced at the beautiful portrait of a woman on the table, propped her elbows on the table, and looked straight at Hou Fangqing.

Hou Fangqing was born with delicate features, handsome face and elegant demeanor, but his face was a little pale due to long-term illness. He is good at painting, especially good at figure painting.

His knuckles are slender, and they are more beautiful than a woman's hands. Shen Ying'er stared at it for a while, then smiled and said: "Young master's drawing is really beautiful, can you draw a picture for Ying'er as well."

Hou Fangqing looked at Qin Zhen in the painting, frowned again, shook his head firmly, and said, "I don't want to."

Shen Ying'er also knew about his marriage contract with Qin Zhen. Hou Fangqing had a gentle temperament and smiled like a spring breeze on his face. He was a gentleman as gentle as jade, but since Qin Zhen's death, he was rarely seen smiling.

Shen Yinger knew that he hadn't recovered from the grief, and she didn't care about his indifference to her. If Qin Zhen hadn't been buried in the sea of ​​fire, she would not have been able to marry Hou Fangqing. She would be satisfied just looking at Hou Fangqing, let alone They are now engaged.

Their marriage contract was made by the Duke himself, and the wedding date is set in the early spring of next year, the third day of March.

"Then what if I exchange some good news with the young man? Will the young man draw a picture for Yinger?"

Hou Fangqing frowned slightly, and said: "You, a daughter who has never left the boudoir, how can you run into the man's room every day?"

Shen Yinger was not annoyed, she pointed at Qin Zhen in the painting, and said with a smile, "What about sister Zhen?"

Hou Fangqing sighed at the sweetheart in the painting. Qin Zhen grew up among boys and often dressed up as men, but since she was 12 years old, she stopped messing around with them. She also doesn't wear men's clothes, Hou Fangqing is delicate, how could she not know that she is for Jiang Ling.

A woman is someone who pleases herself, and she always treats Jiang Ling differently.

"Zhen'er is naturally the most well-behaved and courteous. She is the daughter of Grand Master Qin, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at piano."

Shen Ying'er curled her lips, he meant that she didn't know how to be polite, she didn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shen Yinger was born in a family of military generals, proficient in riding and shooting, but not good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But in her opinion, she is no worse than Qin Zhen. Dayong's folk customs are open-minded, and women don't have to be the same. It's not the same, heroic posture is also a kind of beauty, besides Qin Zhen is dead, she doesn't have to compare with a dead person.

After all, she is the one who will spend the rest of her life with Hou Fangqing.

She smiled brightly and said: "Sister Zhen is naturally very good, but Yinger is not bad either. I heard that General Jiang went to Yangzhou after returning from the battlefield in the north. Does the young man know?"

Hou Fangqing and Jiang Ling were childhood playmates. Because of the loss of his love, he has been lingering on the sick bed, depressed in his heart, and hoped that he would cheer up quickly when he heard the news of his friend's return to Beijing.

Hou Fangqing knew Jiang Ling well, and knew that Jiang Ling treated Qin Zhen more affectionately than him, but Qin Zhen was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and he went to Yangzhou at this time.

Shen Ying'er smiled and said, "How about it? Can my news be exchanged for a painting by my little father-in-law?"

"Where did you get the news from?"

Shen Ying'er smiled innocently, and sat on a nanmu carved chair beside her, "Of course it was Sister Yun who said it. Just a few days ago, Princess Zhaoyang let me enter the palace, saying that Sister Yun came to the capital and asked me to write for Sister Yun. Companion, I heard that the imperial concubine is going to say goodbye to Sister Yun! But how can Sister Yun think of other people, she has high eyesight, young master, do you know who Sister Yun will marry?"

Yun Yiyi is the niece of Concubine Yun Gui. Concubine Yun Gui is gaining the favor and has the second prince, His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and the fourth princess, Princess Zhaoyang. With the help of the second prince.

After all, Jiang Ling holds military power at a young age, is also known as the God of War of the Great Yong Kingdom, and is also the honorable general appointed by the emperor himself. Now that the holy family is thick, he is quite dependent on the emperor. Concubine Yun Gui's plan is really good. it is good.

"Jiang Ling."

I'm afraid that Jiang Ling has long been attracted to Qin Zhen, and her heart is broken and it is difficult to tolerate others. Concubine Yun's thoughts and calculations may not be able to succeed.

What's more, there is King Qi, and King Qi will not just watch the Yun family marry the Jiang family, and let Jiang Ling become King Chen's wings and sword.

I'm afraid this marriage is impossible.

"What the hell is the young man thinking?" Shen Ying'er leaned on the table with her elbows, and looked at Hou Fangqing with her chin resting on her cheek.

Seeing Shen Yinger staring at him, Hou Fangqing blushed, coughed lightly and said, "It has nothing to do with you, and you don't come to the house again in the future, the reputation of your daughter's family is the most important thing."

Shen Yinger stretched out her hand in front of Hou Fangqing, and said with a smile, "What about my painting?"

Hou Fangqing quickly looked away, lowered his head and studied the ink, "I will send someone to the old General Shen's mansion in a few days."

Shen Ying'er clapped her hands and smiled, "Thank you, young master."

Seeing Shen Yinger leave happily, Hou Fangqing got up and pushed the door out, and said to Xie An, "You send someone to Yangzhou to find out why General Jiang went to Yangzhou?"

Although he didn't know why Jiang Ling went to Yangzhou, his intuition told him that there must be something very important for Jiang Ling to go to Yangzhou at this time.

After the fire in the Qin mansion, Hou Fangqing accidentally saw his father had a close relationship with the king of Qi during his illness, so he knew that the Duke's mansion was now working for the king of Qi.

He once suspected that the fire in the Qin Mansion was related to his father and King Qi, but this was all his intuition and guesswork, and his father also denied his guess, but one thing is certain is that the Yun family intends to marry the Jiang family. King Qi is bound to fail to win him over, and he will regard Jiang Ling as a thorn in his side, and the Duke's Mansion and the Jiang family will also become enemies in the future.

Even if he doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the court anymore, he is the only son of the Duke's mansion, and he doesn't want to see his father and the whole Hou family have trouble.

He caressed the painted woman's cheek, and sighed softly: "Zhen'er, if you knew my thoughts, would you blame me? If it were Jiang Ling, how would he choose?"

……

In Yangzhou City, in the Lixiang Courtyard of Jiangfu, Su Mei is sitting in front of the mirror stand. Jin Chuan is putting on makeup for her. She is drawing a plain white pear flower on the center of her eyebrows. , adorned with long tassels, a long blue satin skirt with pear flowers embroidered on the skirt, a moon-white silk belt to tighten the waist, and a moon-white drape, comparable to a fairy in the moon palace.

She couldn't hold back the tension in her heart, her heart was pounding.

Seeing Su Mei's attire, Jin Chuan exclaimed, "Young lady is really beautiful. The young lady's attire really looks like those noble girls from aristocratic families."

Su Mei smiled bitterly: "Do you like it?"

Jin Chuan nodded and said: "Like, the clothes and temperament of those noble girls I have seen are exactly the same."

Today's dress was prepared by Jiang Ling for Qin Zhen. She is just a singing girl, not a concubine's daughter. Today's dress is just pretending to be Qin Zhen to curry favor with Jiang Leng.

Jiang Ling said that she should learn how to serve others, and that she could only bring her to Beijing based on her performance. She had heard from Jin Chuan that Jiang Ling planned to keep her in a foreign house. She was originally a singing girl with a humble status. In her eyes, there is no difference between being raised in a foreign house and being a concubine. The important thing is how to please Jiang Ling and let her go to the capital with Jiang Ling.
