Chapter 633 I Won't Let You Go
At this moment, in the teahouse in front of the military camp, a pretty figure was restlessly swaying.
Li Qingping had a half-bun and put on cherry red lipstick. She arrived here half an hour ago and looked out from time to time. She was
wearing a jade green dress, which made her look particularly elegant.
However, the anxious look on her face made this good temperament superficial and could not withstand a closer look.
Li Qingping rarely went out, and now she had been waiting for too long and was already uncomfortable, so she could only drink water to cover it up.
The maid sent by Aunt Wang tried to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. As long as the matter is settled today, you won't have to worry about it in the future!"
Li Qingping lowered her eyes and whispered, "But I am a girl after all. It's too embarrassing to rush my son to get married like this."
She was not completely ignorant of shame.
But now, she really had no choice.
The child in her belly was more than a month old. If she chose a husband and married him off as soon as possible, maybe she could get away with it by saying it was premature birth.
Li Qingping was found to be pregnant many days ago.
But the doctor took her pulse and said that she was weak. Once she drank the strong medicine, she would most likely have difficulty getting pregnant again, so she had to give up.
Thinking of the identity of the child's biological father and the Jiang family, who were born into a peasant family, Li Qingping's frustrated brows were even more unwilling.
"Although the Jiang family is rich for a while, it is not as noble as the Pei family, which is a real family."
The Pei family she was talking about
was the home of Minister Pei .
The old woman beside her heard this and said, "Oh my girl, you still think that old man Pei has not hurt you enough, and you dare to mention him? Even if the Jiang family is of a poor origin, it is still better than those poor and sour people that the old man wants to find for you, ten times better!"
After hearing this, Li Qingping felt better and took a sip of tea.
The old woman whispered in her ear, "The most important thing now is to find a new home for your belly. With the power of the Jiang family now, you don't have to worry about the child's future after you give birth to this baby?"
Li Qingping's eyes lit up.
She reached out to touch her belly.
Yes, although the Jiang family may be crude, it is a good choice to choose a father for her unborn child.
At least, with Uncle Jiang as a father, her flesh and blood can become a dragon among men, and maybe even have a relationship with the national teacher, and a meteoric rise in the future is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Li Qingping could accept it. She only whispered, "Well, the Jiang family is qualified in this way."
After coaxing the young lady, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief and ran outside to keep watch for the young lady.
After a while, a carriage with a dark blue roof drove across the long street and came steadily towards this side.
The carriages of the wealthy families in Beijing would mostly have family flags, one to let idle people avoid them.
Second, it is also a symbol of status.
The old woman wiped her eyes and saw the flag of the Jiang family on the side of the carriage, so she hurried back to the teahouse to report the news.
"Miss, look, the Jiang family's carriage is here!"
Li Qingping was suddenly nervous and tightly grasped her handkerchief until the old woman poked her twice again, and then she hurriedly changed into the prepared scissor-shaped shoes.
"Am I going to rush over like this in a while, will it...will it be too conspicuous?"
The old woman didn't care about these things, and pushed her to the door, "Hurry up, you are not a virgin, what is there to be reserved about, don't forget what we are doing today?"
Li Qingping was stung for a while, and pinched her palms in embarrassment, then took a deep breath and walked out alone.
At this time, Jiang Fengnian had just got off the carriage and was about to come to the teahouse to buy sesame peach cakes for his wife.
He was wearing an indigo robe and a piece of carp-patterned jade on his waist. Although he was not handsome, he looked quite elegant because of his tall stature.
Fengnian was gentle to begin with, and now that he was wearing expensive clothes, he looked even more elegant.
Li Qingping had never seen a member of the Jiang family, and couldn't tell the brothers apart. Seeing that this man was a man of the Jiang family and was coming to the military camp to do business, she guessed that it was Fengze.
She looked up and carefully examined him, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Wait, isn't it said outside that Uncle Jiang is handsome and majestic, and standing side by side with the young master of the Xiao family, can they drive half of the women in the capital crazy?
But today, he doesn't look that good-looking...
and he seems to be five or six years older than she thought.
Li Qingping hesitated slightly, wondering whether she should go forward.
However, at this time, a firewood seller who happened to be passing by was exhausted and staggered. The dry firewood on his back fell to the ground and almost hit Jiang Fengnian's feet.
"Are you okay, sir? I am blind, please don't blame me!" The old man was afraid of bumping into him, and was frightened. He quickly bent down to apologize.
Jiang Fengnian was not anxious or annoyed, just shook his head slightly, and went forward to help pick up firewood.
"Old man, it's not like that. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I'll help you pick them up. We can just tie them up tightly." His voice was soothing.
Li Qingping looked ahead, her eyes slightly stunned,
and she couldn't help but feel a little fond of him. "Although he was born in the countryside and was a military commander, I didn't expect him to be so gentle. He doesn't have the slightest bit of the look of bullying others because he suddenly became rich. He is a good match for me." She bit her lip.
Soon, Jiang Fengnian helped to tie up the dry firewood, and then lifted it to the old man's back. He clapped his hands and was about to stand up.
Seeing this, Li Qingping didn't dare to delay and hurried over in small steps.
As the two passed by, she twisted her foot slightly, and sure enough, the heel that had been prepared long ago broke with a sound, and she fell towards Jiang Fengnian!
Suddenly someone rushed over, and Jiang Fengnian's hands reacted faster than his brain, and he quickly reached out to catch it.
"Miss, be careful!"
Li Qingping blushed, looked at his hand holding her shoulder, stood up straight and said shyly, "Thank you, thank you sir, if it weren't for you saving me, I would have fallen hard, I really don't know how to thank you."
Jiang Fengnian let go of his hand in time.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter." He shook his head, almost without even looking at Li Qingping's face, and when he saw that the person stood firm, he hurried to buy peach cakes for his wife.
Li Qingping had already bent down to salute, but seeing Fengnian was about to leave, she was a little surprised and could only chase after him and call him.
"Uncle, wait
a minute!" The young girl was anxious and didn't hide her thoughts, so she blurted them out.
Uncle?
Jiang Fengnian paused and turned around in surprise.
Why would he call him Uncle...
Li Qingping chased after him, raised her eyes with rippling water waves, and put her hands together, "Thank you for your help. I will follow the etiquette, otherwise my father will blame me for being uneducated. Please accept my salute."
After saying that, she bent down slightly and bowed three times.
Jiang Fengnian was stunned.
He just helped casually, why did this girl say it as if she had saved her life? This was too exaggerated.
Besides, why did she call him Uncle?
Could it be that this woman mistook him for the third brother?
Jiang Fengnian narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but if the other party really knew the third brother, she would not make a mistake.
Unless... He looked him up and down again, unless this woman wanted to take advantage of the third brother, so she didn't even recognize his face, and as soon as she saw the Jiang family carriage, she rushed up to make trouble!
Li Qingping was looking forward to it, hoping that Fengnian could look at her more, or ask who her father was.
But Jiang Fengnian guessed her thoughts, not only did he not respond to her, but he ran away, determined to stay away from right and wrong.
Li Qingping was stunned.
There was a sense of loss in her eyes.
Why ignored... Could it be that Uncle was not interested in her?
She adjusted her hair and shouted, "I wonder whose family you are and which lane you live in. When I go back, my father will come to visit you in person to thank you."
At least, she had to leave a chance for them to meet again.
But as soon as she said this, Jiang Fengnian shook his head and laughed, which completely confirmed his previous guess.
"Didn't you call me uncle before? How come you didn't know whose family I am from? Did the girl hit her head? Otherwise, your memory is too bad." He turned around and smiled, revealing the truth.
Li Qingping's expression froze, "What...what?"
Did she call him uncle just now?
Two blushes quickly climbed onto her face, and Li Qingping was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground, wishing she could dig a big hole and bury herself.
Jiang Fengnian was afraid that she was trying to swindle Fengze, so he cleared his throat and simply announced his identity.
"But girl, there is one more thing you are wrong about."
"I am not the uncle, but the eldest brother of the Jiang family. The uncle Jiang you are talking about is my third brother, and he has never helped you!" In order to prevent the other party from taking advantage of him, Fengnian deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the teahouse could hear it.
Li Qingping was completely dumbfounded.
What?
How could it be the eldest brother, the eldest brother who already had a wife!
The girl's face turned from red to pale.
In her astonished eyes, Jiang Fengnian was calm and went to buy peach cakes and cherry pancakes.
It was a pity for Li Qingping. She stood stupidly in the wind for a long time before she suddenly covered her face and ran back to the carriage crying, knowing that her efforts were in vain.
After returning home, Jiang Fengnian saw that his wife had fallen asleep, so he quietly put the sesame peach cake on her bulging belly so that she would see the surprise when she woke up.
Then he returned to the main room and told his family about what happened in front of the teahouse as a joke.
"You don't know, our third son is probably favored by someone. Look how hard that girl is trying."
"The girl seemed to have been waiting near the military camp early in the morning. She should want to wait for our third son to come out, and then she would pretend to bump into him accidentally, so that the third son would come to save the beauty and fulfill her wish." Jiang Fengnian was helpless.
But this method is too crude. Even if Fengze really came, he would never be fooled.
As he spoke, he handed the cherry pancake to his sister and sat on the armchair.
The cherry pancake was freshly cooked and placed in a paper basket made of lotus leaves. The two little nuo babies held it tightly in their little hands and ate until their cheeks were bulging.
"Do you know whose daughter this is, big brother?" the little guy asked curiously.
Jiang Fengnian waved his hands and said, "Big brother didn't ask, so as to avoid being scammed by her."
"I really don't know who gave the girl such a bad idea. It must not be her biological parents. It's because you are kind, Fengnian. If it was someone who likes to show off and told this to outsiders, wouldn't the girl's reputation be completely ruined?" Feng said incisively.
At this time, Feng Hu came in and laughed, "What girl are you talking about? Is she pretty? But come to think of it, the girls who have set their eyes on our third son are probably lining up from the front of our house to the big apricot tree in Xiao Liuzhuang, right?"
Jiang Fengnian thought about it, but his memory suddenly got stuck, as if he had never paid attention to the appearance of the young woman.
"I forgot, but she can't even get a fake. Even if she is pretty, she must have exchanged her brain for it." Feng Nian shrugged.
When Feng Shi and Feng Hu heard it, they both chuckled.
Xiao Nuobao also laughed, but her trachea suddenly widened and a cherry pancake was almost stuck in her trachea. She quickly coughed to get it out.
"Brother, you are too venomous. If that girl knew, she would never let you go~Haha!"
After spitting out the fried cherry, the little fat girl rolled on the couch with laughter again, and her fat feet were raised high, almost kicking Feng's mouth.
It was just that she said it casually, but she didn't expect that it would really come true.
As for Li Qingping, after returning home, she was instigated by Aunt Wang and really didn't intend to "let" Fengnian go...
...
After returning to the Li family, Li Qingping hid her face in the quilt, and was still uncomfortable with the embarrassment at the time.
Aunt Wang learned everything from the mother-in-law, and hurriedly twisted her big butt to Ziwuyuan, not wanting to let go of this good opportunity easily.
"Auntie." Li Qingping hung her head in frustration, "This won't work. The person I met today wasn't Uncle Jiang at all, but his brother, the eldest brother of the Jiang family."
Auntie Wang narrowed her eyes, not only was she not discouraged, but she was even happier.
"The eldest brother is also good. I went out to inquire this morning. It's useless for anyone to propose marriage to Uncle Jiang. It shows that his standards must be very high. Even if you run into him, he may not look down on you."
"But the eldest son is different. He has no official position and no education. He is definitely easier to impress than Uncle." Aunt Wang knows countless people and shared her experience with a smack of her lips.
Li Qingping looked up in surprise, "But...but he already has a wife and children, how can he marry me?"
Aunt Wang sat by the couch, holding her hand and said proudly, "You don't know this, right? Although the eldest son of the Jiang family has a wife, she is clumsy and ugly, not as smart and capable as the second son's wife. She is just a yellow-faced woman."
"The woman the Jiang family married when they were the poorest was a worthless person who would not be snatched away even if thrown into the mountains and ditches. But now that their family has become rich, how can they stay with a rough woman for the rest of their lives? Sooner or later, the eldest son of the Jiang family will divorce his wife and marry again. All men are like this!" Aunt Wang's eyes lit up.
When Li Qingping heard this, she was stunned, and a little anger really came out in her heart.
Although Boss Jiang is not as good as Uncle.
But today he behaves elegantly and has regular facial features, so he is also a good candidate.
Li Qingping thought about it, and her face turned red again.
She held Aunt Wang's hand, "If he wants to marry someone else sooner or later, why not let me take this position."
"Aunt, help me think of a way quickly, if this marriage can be successful, our family can pay as much dowry as possible!" She was really moved without realizing it.
