I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 43

On the other side, the atmosphere in Xie's mansion was oppressive.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her master unhappy, and Xie Yuanzhou was anxious at the closed door.

Xie Yuanzhou stood in the courtyard and walked back and forth, angrily commanding: "Take someone in to put makeup on Madam. You have to go today, or you have to go if you don't."

Today, all the wives will go to the flower viewing banquet.Mrs. Qin would naturally go too. How could Mrs. Qiao have such a good opportunity next time if she didn't bring Zhimian to get to know each other on such a day?Besides, the empress asked to see Mrs. Qiao by name, unless Mrs. Qiao couldn't get out of bed, she had to go.If it was someone else, Xie Yuanzhou could still evade it, but the one in the palace couldn't hide it.

But Mrs. Qiao seemed to be determined and remained unmoved.

Mrs. Zhao stood beside Xie Yuanzhou, but she was very angry.She wants to go, but she is just an aunt, she is not qualified to go to this kind of flower viewing feast.She didn't want her daughter to follow that bitch out, but there was nothing she could do.

As they were stalemate, Xie Zhihang came supporting Mrs. Xie.Mrs. Xie is more than 60 years old, but her spirit is hale and hearty. Although she has not been in charge for so many years, she still loves Xie Zhihang.

"Mother, why are you here?" Xie Yuanzhou glared at Xie Zhihang beside him.

Xie Zhihang pretended not to see it, and helped Mrs. Xie walk into the house.

Mrs. Xie looked at him coldly, "Come out for a walk if you have nothing to do."

Seeing Mrs. Xie coming, Qingyao, Qiao's servant girl, put away the anger on her face, opened the door and saluted respectfully: "Madam is inside, old lady, sir."

Seeing the differential treatment, Xie Yuanzhou became furious, just about to follow, but saw Qingyao closing the door and standing at the door like a door god.

After a quarter of an hour, the old lady left, then Qingyao went in, and after a while she and Xie Zhihang helped Mrs. Qiao out.

Xie Yuanzhou also forgot how many years he hadn't seen Mrs. Qiao, and he was stunned when he first saw her, unable to move his eyes away.

Mrs. Qiao is in her 30s this year, and she is well maintained on weekdays. At first glance, she is not much worse than that twenty-eight-year-old girl.She was dressed in royal blue double-breasted trousers, and only wore a hosta on her head, which exuded her cool temperament vividly and vividly.

Looking at Mrs. Qiao, Xie Yuanzhou thought of seeing that girl in the Qin Mansion.She is [-]% similar to Qiao Shi, but because of her young age and hair, she doesn't look as good-looking as Qiao Shi, but given time, she will definitely be an alluring beauty.

For some reason, Xie Yuanzhou was suddenly annoyed by today's decision.Just like a treasure that I have cherished for many years, suddenly I want to show it to others, and thinking about those things more than ten years ago, Xie Yuanzhou feels mixed feelings and feels very uncomfortable.

But when he saw Xie Zhihang, an inexplicable sense of shame made him angry again.This woman was supposed to belong to him, but after giving birth to these two evils, his face became a little distorted, and Zhao Shi, who was watching from the side, was terrified.

She was afraid that Xie Yuanzhou would be confused by this woman again, so she hurriedly dragged Xie Yuanzhou out.

But when it was time to set off, Xie Yuanzhou and Mrs. Qiao got into the carriage together and drove towards the palace.

When Zhijin and others arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already many women waiting here.Everyone came over to say hello when they saw the Jiang family, aside from Qin Jin's status, but Jiang's mother's family, Duke Wei's mansion, made people tremble.

The wives had never met Zhijin before, so they were inevitably curious and asked which girl it was from the family, but it was Qin Meng, the decent young lady of the Qin family, who was left out in the cold.

Qin Meng squeezed the handkerchief, looked at Zhijin angrily, her mouth was so pouted that it was almost to the sky, and the silver teeth in her mouth were about to be crushed.

"This is a guest of my house, and her boudoir name is Zhijin." Jiang looked at the wives with a smile, revealing his love for Zhijin in every word.

Because of Jiang's attitude, the wives of various families started to guess Zhijin's identity one after another. Seeing that she was beautiful and polite, she couldn't help thinking that Qin Jin was 22 this year, the age to say goodbye.In these wives' families, those who have daughters who are waiting to be married naturally do not want them to marry into the Qin family, but now the Jiang family has personally brought the girls here, which inevitably makes people think too much.

They were even more curious as to whose family this girl was the daughter of, who actually fell into Qin Jin's eyes.You must know that the father and son of the Qin family are at odds, and Qin Jin is a very strong-willed person. If Qin Jin didn't like it, the wife and master of the Qin family might not be able to be Qin Jin's master.

Now that this beautiful girl was brought out, although she was not as good as a hairpin, she was more beautiful than her, so I don't know how the favored General Qin felt.

When the father-in-law in the palace came out to call everyone in, Jiang looked back and saw a gorgeous carriage slowly approaching in the distance, wasn't the word thank you embroidered on the curtain?

Jiang shi slightly pursed her lips, did not speak, and walked towards the palace with Zhijin and Qin Meng with a smile.

Qiao and the others walked behind, so naturally they didn't see Zhijin. When they arrived, the ladies in front had already boarded the sedan chair and left.

Xie Yuanzhou stared at Qiao Shi all the way, but Qiao Shi didn't look at him indifferently. After getting off the car, he reached out to help her, but Qiao Shi avoided it.

Xie Zhimian stared at her eyes like fire, feeling very unworthy of her aunt. She naturally saw how Aunt Zhao treated her father, but father, he really cared for him on weekdays, but he happened to be here Mrs. Qiao kept low and small in front of her.My aunt said every time that her father hadn't divorced Qiao Shi and she had no choice but to correct herself, but in her eyes, it was her father who didn't want to divorce Qiao Shi.

Xie Zhihang turned a blind eye to his concubine's gaze, stepped forward to salute his mother and said, "The gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, mother be careful. My son is waiting for mother outside the palace."

Xie Zhimian supported Xie Yuanzhou's arm and got out of the carriage, curled his lips when he heard Xie Zhihang's words, and didn't care.

Xie Yuanzhou, on the other hand, took a rare look at him, but when he saw the same style on his eyebrows as Qiao's, he was immediately displeased and turned his head away.

There was laughter in Fengxiang Palace. The queen is in her 40s and well maintained. The faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes add a lot of charm to her.

The wives who came to the flower viewing banquet all got advice from their masters, who should be curry favor with, and who doesn't matter, they know it in their hearts.As the mother of the emperor's favorite general, the Jiang family became very popular all of a sudden.

Except for the empress talking with several concubines, Jiang's side was the most lively.

Undoubtedly, Zhijin, who was outstanding in appearance, was also discussed a lot by everyone. Qin Meng stirred the veil sadly, looked at Zhijin resentfully, and wished she could be stripped alive.

Jiang saw her expression from the corner of his eye, but he didn't speak.Today was originally for Zhijin, the more she got the limelight, the more everyone's appetite was whetted, the easier the rest of the matter would be.

In the morning of spring, the sun shines warmly from the Baosha into the hall, making people feel the joy of spring.

Everyone was talking, when suddenly someone exclaimed: "What a handsome lady."

Jiang and Zhijin followed the eyes of the crowd and saw a woman in a royal blue dress coming in gracefully. The face said that she was eighteen, and some people would believe it. If it wasn't for the woman's bun on her head, With the girl from the Xie family following behind, everyone probably thought it was a lady from some family.

Could it be that this is the wife that the Xie family has been hiding for many years?
It is rumored that Mrs. Xie's wife is as beautiful as a flower, but her body is weak. Mr. Xie loves his wife like his life, and never takes his wife out, even for palace banquets.

As for the children of the Xie family, everyone is not familiar with the descendants of the concubine, but the children of the concubine are more popular outside.

Many people are curious about the Xie family, but they don't know the reason.

It wasn't until I met this lady today that I realized why Mr. Xie didn't bring out the golden house.

Of course, the wife who had just talked to Zhijin and the others also came back to her senses, looking back and forth between Qiao Shi and Zhijin, her mouth shut in surprise.

It's so similar!

The queen had been talking to the concubines before, but she didn't pay attention to Zhijin. The effect caused by Qiao's coming in was too great. She couldn't help being curious, raised her head, and noticed this woman. When she saw her, she was obviously startled and froze in place. .Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he saw her. Ten years of time did not seem to have much effect on this person. On the contrary, he was much older. Thinking about the past ten years ago, the queen's eyes lighted up. Flickering, frowning slightly.

As if she didn't see the eyes of the people around her, Mrs. Qiao stepped forward with small steps, then knelt down to salute, and said in a graceful voice: "My wife greets the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

Xie Zhimian's nails at the back were almost sinking into the flesh.She was already displeased with entering the palace with Mrs. Qiao today, seeing her appearance causing such a commotion in the hall, on the contrary, it seemed that she, a young girl, was a little bit inferior.

The queen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. After waiting for a long time, the crown prince reminded her, and then she came back to her senses with a calm expression: "You don't need to be polite. Give me a seat."

Qiao thanked her, put her skirt on and sat down, looking at her heart, as if everything around her was none of her business.

Zhijin raised her head by chance, glanced at her, and then froze.

Even if she doesn't like looking in the mirror, she still knows what she looks like, but this lady looks so much like herself.Thinking of what Xie Zhihang said to me, and Xie Zhihang's appearance, I couldn't help feeling an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Not only was she shocked, Qin Meng was also shocked, and the wives who surrounded Jiang's just now were also shocked.

Even Jiang, who was mentally prepared, was shocked.

There are people so similar in the world, even if they are mother and daughter, it is enough to make people dumbfounded.Jiang Shi looked at Qiao Shi and then turned to Zhijin. Seeing that she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, she didn't know if she saw her.She loves this child from the bottom of her heart, but she doesn't know why the Xie family abandoned her so cruelly.

When she looked over again, there was some complaint in Jiang's eyes, maybe her eyes were too sharp, Qiao raised her head and looked over here.

Zhijin just raised her head to meet the pair of eyes similar to her own, Qiao's body swayed obviously, and then stabilized quickly.

Jiang looked at the queen with a smile and said: "I heard that Mrs. Xie loved his wife as much as his life before, and never brought her out of the house. Today, seeing Mrs. Xie's demeanor, she is truly a peerless beauty. No wonder Mrs. Xie is reluctant to bring her out."

Just as the queen was about to speak, the crown princess tugged at her sleeve to let her look at Jiang's side. The crown prince's expression was too weird, and the queen stared at it with frowned eyebrows, almost standing up in shock.

The wives in the hall looked back and forth between Zhijin and Qiao Shi, and began to secretly guess the relationship between the two.Originally, the unhappiness of having to get up early to attend the palace banquet was swept away, and he watched the excitement with great interest.

And Xie Zhimian, who was completely ignored sitting beside Qiao Shi, looked at Xie Zhijin viciously. This woman was actually sitting beside Qin Jin's mother. This woman actually looked like Qiao Shi, and she was so charming...

Seeing her eyes falling, Jiang said indifferently: "Poor Zhijin lost her mother since she was a child. It's really pitiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhijin with complicated expressions in her eyes.
