Chapter 227: Young Master of a Noble Family
"Jiang Chen is back? Why did you rush here? Let him in." A smile appeared on the Queen's face.
Since there were guests, Madam Qin took Su Qianqian and said goodbye. The Queen did not force them to stay and asked the head palace maid to see them out.
When I walked out of the palace gate, I saw a young and handsome man walking in. He was no more than 20 years old, with jade hairpins in his hair, a blue robe and a brocade belt, which made his lips and teeth red and his face as white as powder. When he saw Madam Qin and Su Qianqian passing by, he bowed his head politely to make way.
[Where did this handsome young man come from? Although he does not have the gentleness and elegance of the prince, he can still be considered a gentleman as beautiful as jade. 】
While Su Qianqian was helping Madam Qin out of the door, she secretly looked at the young master.
[Stop drooling, young master...]
"Do you know which young master this is?" Before the system could react, Madam Qin suddenly asked quietly, like an ordinary old lady gossiping about others.
"My grandson's wife doesn't know." Su Qianqian shook her head, her eyes bright as she waited for Madam Qin's explanation.
"Get in the car and I'll tell you slowly. I know this very well." Mrs. Qin puffed out her chest proudly.
[What’s going on? Hey, old lady, why are you taking my job? Hey, I know it too...] For the first time, the system felt a sense of crisis.
In the carriage, the three granddaughters-in-law sat on one side and listened attentively as Mrs. Qin described the story vividly.
"The Queen's mother's family is the Ye family, a prominent family in Jiangnan. The Ye family has an ancestral precept not to enter the court, so most of the Ye women marry into famous families, but the men only travel among the people or do business. This young master Jiang Chen is the Queen's younger brother. When he was young, he was known as the best young master in Jiangnan because of his broad knowledge.
There is an interesting story about Young Master Jiang Chen. It is said that he is handsome but he does not like his appearance. The more girls look at him, the more he keeps his distance from them. He has not married yet and has only been traveling around the world.
Girls who didn't know the inside story often threw flowers and fruits at him. Some even threw stones by mistake as fruits, hitting Master Jiang Chen's head and causing him to bleed. After that, he rarely appeared in the streets.
This Young Master Jiang Chen often travels abroad and seldom returns to Qi, and even less often appears in Xijing. This time it must be because the Queen is hunting here, and he came here specially to see his sister, and he has to be secretive. ”
"After hearing what grandma said, my granddaughter-in-law also remembered that it was indeed true. Many people had never seen Young Master Jiang Chen, but they were attracted by his travel notes. As long as the name of Young Master Jiang Chen was written on it, even if they knew it was a fake, the book would sell faster."
Wang Yuke has always been dignified and calm. Today, after hearing Madam Qin's playful remarks, she took over the conversation and spoke in a relaxed and interesting manner.
"Such a young master from an aristocratic family is just a superficial traveler, and he is no match for those soldiers with outstanding military exploits, yet they are still more favored by the world."
Xin suddenly said angrily.
Madam Qin turned her head and glanced at Xin. Xin then realized that she had said something wrong and lowered her head in panic, saying, "My granddaughter-in-law has overstepped the boundaries. Please punish me, grandmother."
"Jilan, please don't mention this again. How can a century-old foundation of a noble family be supported by younger generations who travel around the country?
What others value is definitely not the sightseeing, but the mountain he relies on behind him, the old tree with lush branches and leaves and deep roots. ”
Madam Qin said in a gentle voice, but her expression was serious.
Xin was extremely ashamed. She was usually very cautious and prudent, but today, for some reason, she thought of how those soldiers fought for their lives on the battlefield, and how after returning to the capital, there were only two days of excitement, and no one remembered their contributions anymore. She felt extremely unfair.
"Why is it so cold today? Have you noticed?" Su Qianqian hugged the small hand warmer in her arms and changed the subject.
"Yes, but I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicted the weather before I left, saying that the weather would be sunny and not too cold in the next half month. October is the most suitable time for autumn hunting in Wohu Mountain."
Wang Yuke also tactfully took over the conversation and talked about the weather.
[In October, Crouching Tiger Mountain...] Su Qianqian muttered to herself. She always felt that something flashed by, but she couldn't remember what it was.
After returning to the villa and having lunch, Su Qianqian stayed in her room reading a storybook. She was not a person who liked sports very much. All her exercises were based on self-protection and keeping her body healthy and beautiful. She had no interest in hunting.
As she turned the pages, her eyes suddenly fell on the bamboo box. The image of Qin Hanzhang stealthily reaching his hand into it and tinkering with it appeared clearly in Su Qianqian's mind.
What is he hiding?
Once curiosity arose, it grew quickly like the mung bean sprouts grown by her grandmother, filling the pot. Although Su Qianqian tried hard to turn her gaze back to the storybook, the bamboo box was still jumping on the pages.
[I just want to see what it is. Whether it is private money or a token of love, it has nothing to do with me. After seeing it, I will pretend that nothing happened. 】
Su Qianqian said to herself in her heart that after listening carefully and hearing no movement outside, she tiptoed to the bamboo box and gently opened the lid.
There were two sets of casual robes for changing in the bamboo box, and a few books on top, all of which were military books on deploying battle formations. There was also a map. Su Qianqian opened it and took a look. There were many small circles drawn in a certain place, but there was nothing special about it. Su Qianqian folded it and put it back.
Su Qianqian lifted the robe and looked underneath. She felt a little nervous, and many strange images popped up in her mind. In ancient times, if her second brother had not yet had sex at the age of 23, would he have any other habits? Those weird exhibits in the museum...
Thinking of this, I was a little afraid to open it, for fear that something round would suddenly pop out and shock me, but I couldn't help but want to uncover the mystery...
A small purse was placed at the bottom, with a duckling swimming in the stream on the purse, and the bamboo forest and thatched house next to it were lifelike. However, over the years, the purse had faded in color and the embroidery thread had lost its luster.
Su Qianqian reached out and picked up the purse, comparing it with the one on her waist. The pattern was exactly the same. She opened the purse and a wax ball rolled out. This wax ball looked very new, obviously having been recently sealed.
[It took seventeen years to seal up an expired pill. The Marquis is indeed a loyal person. Saving you is a way of repaying the favor. 】The system said slowly.
Su Qianqian didn't expect to see this, and she put it back awkwardly, losing all interest.
It turns out that Qin Hanzhang has always remembered the little girl who saved his life. His change in attitude towards himself should be due to the discovery of the purse and knowing that her name was Aning...
I had no mood to read the storybook, so I just went to bed. Just as I lay down, I heard Su Mu report that the third young lady was here.
"Third sister-in-law!"
Qin Yuzhuo had already strode in, his face full of energy:
"Third sister-in-law, Jinxi and I are following the Queen's order to send Master Jiang Chen to the hunting ground. His travel notes are only missing the hunting chapter. I'm sorry to bother you with the other courtyard. I'll be back soon."
"Why should we let you go? There really aren't many military commanders left... You should be careful and bring some warm clothing..."
"Don't worry, third sister-in-law, there will be a support camp on the way." Qin Yuzhuo interrupted Su Qianqian and said goodbye in a hurry.
"Camp..." Su Qianqian felt inexplicably uneasy.
