Chapter 477 The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (5)
"Cousin!"
Jiang Qi had just walked out of his yard when he saw a woman in red running towards him. He quickly dodged.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Chen Bi!" The woman tried to hold his arm in a familiar manner, but he accidentally dodged her.
"Are you my cousin?"
Jiang Qi suddenly remembered that his mother had such a distant niece. He just didn't expect her to come so soon and return to Kyoto only one night later than him.
"Cousin, I heard that you are now a general. I want to compete with you!" The girl's eager expression aroused Jiang Qi's interest.
"Oh? Compete for what? Your little arms and legs, I'm afraid you will be hurt."
He didn't leave much room for his words. The girl naturally understood. She stiffened her neck and said angrily: "Don't underestimate me! I can do everything from riding a horse to archery!"
"Really?" Jiang Qi looked her up and down. It turned out that she was really well prepared and was wearing the most popular riding clothes in Kyoto.
"Let's go out and compete in horse riding now. I can't say I'm the best in the world, but I'm
definitely the third best." The woman took advantage of him not noticing and grabbed his hand and held it in her arms. "Let's go. I'm not afraid of a little girl like you." Jiang Qi and her walked straight to the gate, but his eyes stayed on the flowers for a moment.
"Madam, the cousin and the general have already gone out." The maid helped Jiang's mother out from behind the flowers.
"I saw it." Jiang's mother looked proud, "I want to see if she agrees this time."
She thought simply, as long as Chen Bi was liked by her son, and her son took the initiative to take Chen Bi as a concubine, then the daughter-in-law would have nothing to say. Next, she would have to create more opportunities for the two to be together. Their Jiang family can't be without descendants forever!
Jingyuan.
"Miss, are you really going to let the old lady take that niece? Her Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone!" Qiuyue peeled longan while feeling indignant for Shi Yi.
She only learned about the young lady's affairs yesterday when she and her husband came back from the countryside to visit the master. She came to persuade him early in the morning. It's better to say that she encouraged the young lady to drive the cousin out as soon as she got up!
"The person has already entered the house, what else can I do?" Shi Yi pointed his slender fingers and picked up a longan to his mouth, "I can't disobey my mother-in-law."
As soon as Qiuyue arrived at her yard, her mother-in-law took her niece to squat on Jiang Qi.
"Young lady, you are only a little willful to me! I think the Jiang family is now inflated! I'm afraid they have forgotten the hard days they had!" Qiuyue was so angry that she threw the longan in her hand, "I'm going to find my son-in-law to argue with him! How can this be justified!"
"He is a general now." Shi Yi continued to pick up a longan and put it in his mouth, saying indifferently.
"Even if he becomes a general, he is still your husband and son-in-law!" Qiuyue put her hands on her hips, looking at the young lady who was still eating longans. She was really disappointed with her and couldn't help but scolding her: "Look at you now, you look like you don't care about anything, I'm worried about you! You don't understand what the old lady means! That niece is the concubine she found for her son-in-law!"
"If Jiang Qi really likes my cousin, can I stop him? I will naturally fulfill his wish." Shi Yi stretched out his hand, blinking his big eyes at her.
Although Qiuyue was very disappointed, she was used to serving her young lady. She honestly took the handkerchief to wipe her fingertips, but she was still merciless, "You are dragged down by your temper! No one else in your position can do better than you, but you are the only one who is willing to suffer! I want to see what the situation will be like after that cousin comes in! You, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future!"
"Qiuyue, you treat me so well!" Shi Yi pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly, "You are really my good sister!"
Qiuyue slapped her hand away, her face flushed, "Who is your good sister! You are a young lady, and I am a maid, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior."
"Don't go." Shi Yi pulled her hand again, reluctantly saying, "I haven't seen you for almost three years."
"I don't miss you." Qiuyue said she didn't miss you, but her eyes were glued to her young lady. She always felt that the young lady had lost some weight in the past three years. I guess the Jiang family must not have had an easy life.
And the young lady's hands, compared to when she was unmarried, really look much older!
Training ground.
"How about it, I'm still the best!" Chen Bi rolled down from the horse, looking at her cousin with burning eyes. If he hadn't already had a wife, she would really be attracted to him. "I admit
defeat." Jiang Qi looked at the scarecrow target in the distance, with a nine-color feather arrow in the center, bright and eye-catching.
"Then let's continue tomorrow!" Chen Bi patted his shoulder and said proudly: "Don't be defeated by a little girl like me tomorrow."
"My cousin has made a note." Jiang Qi took a half step back slightly, so that she would not get too close to him.
Chen Bi noticed that he deliberately kept a distance from her, but his "cousin" made her happy again. She believed that she was not inferior to any daughter in the world, but she did not have a good family background, so it was very normal for men to focus on her. Other men were no exception, and her cousin was no exception. It seems that it is time to find an opportunity to meet her cousin's wife.
In the next few days, Jiang Qi encountered Chen Bi in the mansion. Since he met her, he did not avoid suspicion and took her to the training ground for a competition. After a while, Jiang's mother saw that they had some interest. Therefore, she specially called her son to her room, intending to have a good talk with him about taking a concubine.
"What do you think of Chen Bi?" Jiang's mother pushed the tea to her son's side, waiting for his answer.
Jiang Qi naturally understood why his mother came to find him today, but he still thought about it for a long time before answering: "She is very good."
"Compared to Qi Shiyi?" Jiang's mother lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. The marks left by life will accompany her for the rest of her life.
"Shiyi is weak in nature but thoughtful in handling things, and my cousin is lively in nature but not very familiar with household affairs." Jiang Qi thought for a while and said.
"So mother wants you to take Chen Bi as your concubine." Jiang's mother looked at her son and said sincerely, "Shi Yi has been childless for three years, and I, as a mother, am really worried. She is a good daughter-in-law, managing household affairs, handling relationships, and her character and appearance are impeccable, but the Jiang family must have an heir! Your mother is afraid that she will be ashamed to meet your father in the underworld!"
"Mother, why do you have to say all this." Jiang Qi's face became serious, "You will definitely live a hundred years."
"It doesn't matter whether I live a hundred years or not, the most important thing is that you have someone to take care of you!" Jiang's mother cried out, "It is said that a child is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother's body. As a mother, I hope that there is someone who understands your feelings by your side, so that I can feel at ease!"
