blue bird song

Chapter 75 It's All About It (2)
"I'll go too!" Lin Xiaotian poked his head between the two of them, with a domineering tone, "I miss Qinglin, sister, when you go to your cousin's house, take me with you!"

The teacher's wife said leisurely: "I'll go too. The scenery of A Yuan's house is good, and the dishes are not bad. I'll eat and drink." The master put the second son in the small car and shook it gently, and said slowly: "I hold the second son, also go."

"Then, why not invite grandfather as well." A Yuan looked at his unscrupulous aunt's family and sincerely invited, "The old man always likes to join in the fun, so it's not good to drag him down."

Lin Xiaotian clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, grandfather too! Cousin, I really like my grandfather, and my grandfather is the one who loves me the most!" With my grandfather around, I can be naughty to my heart's content, without worrying about my father's spanking, and no worries!

It was decided at the moment, the young bird will rest and take a bath in the future, and the master will not be on duty, so the family will visit Jinwang's mansion.Qing Que couldn't help being surprised when she saw that both her father and mother were very interested, "I'm really surprised that you two have such deep affection for Prince Jin's Mansion."

Master and mother probably don't like to visit Mo's mother because they are jealous.

Although Mo Erlang and his wife lived in the Prince Jin's Mansion, they were still the true nature of a simple farmhouse, growing food and vegetables in the garden.When we arrive at his house, we can eat freshly picked and stir-fried melons and vegetables, which are tender and fresh, full of wild taste.As long as Qingque is gone, Mo Niang will definitely cook in person, tossing out a table of dishes to comfort General Qi Qingque.As for General Qi Qingque, every time he sees the delicious meat and Biyingying's dishes, he can't care about anything else and concentrates on eating hard.The teacher gave Qing Que a big roll of her eyes, and the master complained to the little apprentice, "Qing Que, you look like this, people who don't know will think that the master and the teacher don't give you enough to eat." .

Qing Que winked mischievously at the teacher and mother, as if asking, "You two are not jealous of my parents?"

The day after tomorrow, Deng Qi came early in the morning, and excitedly showed Qing Que an album, "I want to make you a rosewood canopy bed. There are several styles. Let me take a look at it." , both are good-looking. Niuniu, you choose.”

The corners of the master's mouth twitched as they listened.Red sandalwood is a precious and rare wood, there has always been a saying that "an inch of sandalwood is an inch of gold", a red sandalwood box is precious, he wants to make a red sandalwood canopy bed!
"Where did the wood come from?" Qing Que flipped through the album and asked inadvertently: "The royal family valued this kind of wood very much. I heard that the good red sandalwood in Nanyang area was almost chopped down by the royal family, and it is rare in the world."

"The sea merchants brought it back from Bharat." Deng Qi smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. The ship just landed, and I heard about it. Hurry up and get a good one. Niuniu, the red sandalwood is quiet and ancient, The rest of the wood is no match, now that the wood is available, good craftsmen have also been invited, you pick the one you like."

In a girl's dowry, besides farms, shops, workshops, etc., the biggest piece is the bed.An exquisite canopy bed can be as big as half a room, exquisitely carved, elegant and unique, extremely precious.

Qing Que flipped through the album, picked out the one she likes, and handed it back to Deng Qi, "I want this round moon cave door, with six pillars, and a hanging door on the front, exquisite and clear, no need for complicated carvings, simple and generous is the best. "

Deng Qi smiled at Mimi, "Niu Niu, your vision is the same as mine, and I like this one the most!" Qingque was surprised, "You and I think the same, why?" The two looked at each other, Suddenly realized, "So we know each other! We still have a deep friendship!"

Time to go.Master invited Deng Qi, "If you have nothing to do, please go together." Deng Qi hesitated, "It doesn't seem very good to come here without invitation. Besides, my grandfather is still waiting outside."

Ning Guogong is different from Deng Qi.Deng Qi wanted to see Qingque, but he felt embarrassed and embarrassed, so he couldn't help but want to come to Jingchengbo's mansion to see him.Ning Guogong is not, no matter whether Qing Que lived in the British government when he was a child, or now in the Jingcheng uncle's mansion, he felt embarrassed, so he just waited outside and did not come in.

Master gave Deng Qi a few more words of courtesy, seeing that he insisted on refusing to do so, let it be.Qingque smiled, and sent Deng Qi out personally, all the way outside the mansion.

At the back door of Uncle Jingcheng's mansion, Ning Guogong stood far away, with a young man beside him leading the horse for him.Seeing Qing Que approaching, he smiled embarrassedly, took out a nanmu box and handed it to Qing Que, "Niuniu, this box is full of emeralds, you can play with it."

Qingque took the box, opened it, glanced at it, and praised, "It's so rich!" Inside the box were more than a dozen charming gemstones, the color of which was green like a young tree bud, but slightly yellowish, and seemed to reveal A light, comfortable light blue that looks pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you!" Qing Que accepted the box and thanked Ning Guogong.Ning Guogong waved his hands again and again, "Thank you, thank you, Niuniu, you are really good." Qing Que stared at him curiously, "Have you been scratched on your face?" On Ning Guogong's cheek, there are two light Shallow scars, as if scratched by nails.

"No, no!" Ning Guogong denied repeatedly, "I was not caught! Then what, the first old cat in the house suddenly went crazy. I was caught by the cat, I was caught by the cat."

"Oh, so." Qingque nodded understandingly.

Uncle Jing Cheng, teacher, teacher and wife were all waiting for Qing Que at the corner gate, Qing Que didn't stay long, said goodbye to Ning Guogong and Deng Qi, turned and left.

Turning around, the corners of Qingque's mouth turned up, and then up again.The old cat caught it, Mr. Ning Guo, you are really unlucky.

He could vaguely hear the sound of arguing behind him, Deng Qi was complaining in a low voice, and Ning Guogong snorted heavily.Qingque didn't even look back, and quickened her pace.

When they arrived at the corner gate, Lin Xiaotian ran over to hold her hand, "Sister, you are so slow." Jing Chengbo glared at her, "Little girl, there are so many people, I'm just waiting for you!" Qing Que proudly boasted, "No Way, I am so important!" Shi Niang gave her a blank look, and pulled her and Lin Xiaotian into the carriage.

"What's in this box?" Lin Xiaotian asked, pointing to the nanmu box.Qingque smiled and Mimi opened it, and pointed it to him, "My good brother, this is called Emerald, do you know that? Look at it, does it look good?"

"This green stone is so beautiful." Lin Xiaotian probed over to take a look, and gave a very high evaluation.Mistress and Qingque looked at each other and smiled, okay, in the eyes of the child, such a precious jewel is just a beautiful stone.

"Speaking of which, it's time to save up a dowry for my little blue bird." Seeing Deng Qi and Ning Guogong's posture, the teacher also remembered the business.She has always been careless, and when she got married, she simply worshiped at the church. She neither received the dowry nor did the dowry. She really didn't have a charter for preparing Qingque to leave the cabinet at this moment.

"What?! Dowry?!" Lin Xiaotian almost jumped up in the carriage, "It's not worth it if my sister married him, but dowry? How dare he ask for dowry?!"

Lin Xiaotian's face was flushed red, and his wife and Qingque leaned together, laughing so hard that his stomach hurts.Poor Lin Xiaotian, he has always cared about his sister marrying his cousin.

Lin Xiaotian's anger lasted until he got off the carriage, entered Prince Jin's mansion, and met A Yuan.Poor Ah Yuan finally waited for his sweetheart, the teacher got out of the carriage and said lightly, "I'll take Qing Que to talk to Mo Niang and Qing Miao." She took Qing Que away without showing him.Lin Xiaotian was left with a stern face, as cold as ice.

A Yuan took his little hand and asked questions, but he ignored them all.There happened to be a clear stream on the side of the road. A Yuan led him to look at it, "Cousin, look how much we look alike! We are brothers, brothers, we are very close."

Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but glanced into the stream, and reluctantly nodded his head in agreement, "That's right, you look a bit like me." A Yuan smiled slightly, "Nonsense, obviously you look like me." The two were arguing , Uncle Jing Cheng and Jue Chi walked over side by side, Jue Chi held the infant Lin Xiaowei in his arms.

"Hey, cousin, let me tell you." Lin Xiaotian tugged at A Yuan's hand, and told him quietly, "My mother is not good at holding children. I was raised by my father when I was a child, and my second son will live with me!"

"You are content." A Yuan rubbed his little head, "I was raised by a maid in the arms, am I not more pitiful than you?" Lin Xiaotian felt sympathetic when he heard this.

A Yuan invited Uncle Jing Cheng and Jue Chi to sit down in the side hall, and ordered them to brew the new clouds and mists this year, "Grandfather, I know you like to play chess, so I specially found an opponent for you." Uncle Jing Cheng was overjoyed, "Hello, master!" ,I like!"

The person King Jin hired to play chess with Uncle Jing Cheng was a young man of medium build and delicate features, Shi Kuangzhou, the head of Prince Jin's residence.Kuang Zhou's chess moves were quick and ruthless, very much to Jing Chengbo's appetite, "Young man has two tricks!" He lowered his head and focused on the chessboard, not daring to be careless at all.

Lin Xiaotian watched the battle with relish, while A Yuan and Jue Chi sat far away. "Little uncle, let's take a look, how is this young man?" A Yuan asked leisurely.

Jue Chi, who was going to kill Zhenghan, Jing Chengbo and Kuang Zhou took a look, and said slowly: "Gentle and handsome, well-mannered, I don't think he has a calm and self-satisfied temperament, he is quite competitive."

A Yuan smiled, "Don't you think it's strange that such an ambitious young man actually asked to marry Qing Miao." Qing Miao's parents were just farmers and women. Although his younger brother was studying, he hadn't even been a scholar. What kind of future would he have in the future? It is even more unknown.Kuang Zhou's begging to marry Qing Miao always seemed strange.

Jue Chi was startled, turned his head to look at A Yuan, "Does he want to be your brother-in-law?" If he knew that Qing Que would be Jin Wangfei, if he knew what kind of feelings Qing Que had for Mo Dae, Mo Niang, Qingmiao Qingshu, would he want to ask? Marrying Qingmiao was also expected.After all, once the marriage is completed, he will become King Jin's in-laws and will be looked after by King Jin and Princess Jin.

"My brother-in-law, it's not easy to do." A Yuan said lightly, playing with the glass cup in his hand.Qing Que regards Qing Miao as her own sister, Qing Miao is not something that can be promised casually.

In the small courtyard of Mo's house, Qing Que and Qing Miao were also talking about this young man, "I have met him twice, he is very smart and capable. Qing Miao, do you really like him?"

Qing Miao was very embarrassed, but still blushed and nodded.

Qing Que patted her on the shoulder, "In this case, my sister will carefully check his details. If you want to marry my sister, you must have a clean family background, outstanding character, a good person, and a good family. Qing Miao, my sister said that the family is good , not wealth and power, but that this family is kind and tolerant, and the family members are intimate and harmonious, and they will not fight back and forth."

"His family is not good." Qing Miao stammered, "Both his parents died, and he was raised by his grandparents. The grandparents felt that he suppressed his father and mother, and that his life brought evil stars, so they didn't like him very much."

Sounds... bad.Qing Miao, are you sure you like a man with such background?He does not have the love of his parents, but he is controlled by his grandparents who hate him.Qingque looked at Qingmiao suspiciously.

"Sister, both father and mother are afraid. He is not interested in me, but in the power of sister and King Jin." Qing Miao mustered up her courage and looked up at Qing Que, "I'm not afraid! Sister, I don't want to listen to Dad. For your mother, marry an honest farmer, I like a handsome man like Kuang Zhou, with his elegant demeanor... I just like it!"

"Understood." Qingque said with a smile: "Since you like it, I naturally know it."

Qing Miao bit her lips, "But father and mother are always worried that he is not sincere, and worried that he will treat me badly in the future..."

Qingque smiled indifferently, "If he is not good, you can teach him well. If you really can't teach him well, don't, what's the matter."

Qing Miao chuckled.Originally, she was also very worried in her heart. It's wrong to be in the wrong family. What should she do if he changes his face after getting married?But after hearing what Qing Que said lightly, I think it's the same thing: if he's good, he's good, if he's not good, at best he's not there.

"Is it his grandparents who proposed marriage? Who did the matchmaker invite?" Qing Que smiled and Mimi pulled Qing Miao and asked for details.

Qing Miao's face darkened, "No, his grandparents refused to agree, thinking that the younger brother of the Mo family is inferior..." The Kuang family lived in the capital and had a grand and spacious ancestral house on Dingfu Street. There are also a dozen of them, the old masters and old ladies of the Kuang family, who look down on Mo Qingmiao.

Qing Que wondered: "His grandparents disagree, how did he propose marriage? Could it be that he said it himself?" Qing Miao nodded with a blushing face.

The blue sparrow held his forehead.Father, Mother, Qing Miao, are you all right?A young man with a respected person proposes marriage by himself, and you actually take it seriously?There are grandparents, he's useless to talk, but it doesn't count if he says it!
"That's it." Qing Que said decisively: "The elder of the Kuang family is not allowed to mention this person before the central media propose marriage. Do you remember this family? Not only are you not allowed to mention it, you are not allowed to think about it!"

Qing Miao cried, "But don't blame him, his grandparents don't like him, make things difficult for him..."

"He is a man, so he should have a man's responsibility." Qing Que's voice was cold, "Even the elders in the family can't convince me, so I have the nerve to express my heart to the woman's family?"

He confessed so much, what should the wife do?If you plan to accept him, you want to deal with the old masters and old ladies of the Kuang family and those who don't like him in the Kuang family for him? That's ridiculous.

If you really want to propose marriage with sincerity, you should try to persuade the elders in your family.Don't say that the humble child can't do anything about the elders. If that's the case, he should obey his elders and completely obey the will of his elders, instead of irresponsible self-assessment and making troubles for the bride's family by the way.

Qing Que's tone was serious, Qing Miao felt chills on her back when she heard it, and nodded quickly, "Sister, I made a note."

Qingque explained to Qingmiao, and went out to explain to Mo Erlang and his wife.Mo Erlang slapped his thigh, "That's not the reason!" Qi Shi also felt ashamed, as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Why didn't I even think of this, I'm so stupid."

"It's all because I'm too worry-free." Qing Que smiled mischievously, "The eldest girl doesn't have to worry about anything, she has settled the marriage by herself, and when it comes to the second girl, father and mother will meet for the first time, won't they be in a hurry? "

The funny Mo Erlang and his wife both laughed.

Qing Que explained to her parents, rolled up her sleeves, and went to look for A Yuan with a murderous look, "You brought my parents and younger siblings here, but you didn't like them! My younger sister is about to be cheated away, do you know that?"

"Don't worry, little green bird." A Yuan smiled lightly, his brows brightened, "There is a reason for this, let Fourth Brother tell you slowly."

Qing Que looked like he was inquiring about the crime, and the clear Xing Zi's eyes were full of anger.A Yuan looked at such a Qingque, her heart was soft and soft, Qingque loves her sister so much, little Qingque, she is such a good girl.

"Qing Miao was born on the same day as you, so it should be her in-law's family." A Yuan smiled slightly, "Over the past few days, I have asked Mother Zhong to visit many families for Qing Miao, there are well-to-do farmers, there are wealthy merchants, There are also noble scholars. However, Qing Miao doesn't like it."

Qingque listened intently.

A Yuan coughed, "Qing Miao just likes Kuang Zhou."

Qingque frowned slightly.

"She's your younger sister." A Yuan smiled and said, "Since she likes this person, let's try to help her achieve her wish, it won't take much trouble."

Qing Que's expression softened, "Old Master and Madam of the Kuang family, it must not be too difficult to deal with?" What A Yuan said was right, it's rare that Qing Miao likes it.

"Extremely easy to deal with." A Yuan smiled, "Not only them, but also Kuang Zhou's uncle and third uncle, there are no difficult people."

Kuang Zhou's father is the second child, and he has always been the most unpopular one since he was a child.In addition, not long after he was born, his parents passed away due to illness, which made him even more unpleasant.The old lady of his family made a kiss for him. The girls are either cowardly or shy, and none of them are decent.Kuang Zhou is not a cheap lamp either, he always plays tricks in the dark to make the marriage impossible.But it is easy to destroy a marriage, but it is difficult to make a marriage.He wants to marry a virtuous and beautiful wife and live a prosperous and happy life, which is even more difficult.

"Kuang Zhou has an elder, and his family is on his head, so he can't breathe. He doesn't want to let others slaughter him, so he can only ask for help from the powerful. In fact, this is also good, as long as I am still the King of Jin, he will take care of himself and treat the young crops well. " A Yuan told Qing Que carefully.

"Don't worry, I will let the obedient central media of the Kuang family propose marriage, and marry Qing Miao in a serious way." A Yuan has a plan in mind.

Qing Miao's marriage is actually quite difficult.She is just the daughter of ordinary people, but she likes the children of officials like Kuang Zhou.
