Picture her prosperous face
Chapter 23
As soon as Ji Chang stepped into the Wenxiang Tower, he was taken to a secluded private room. After opening the door and seeing the people waiting in the private room, she finally let go of her worries all the way—fortunately, it was Qiao Shangshu, and It wasn't any other force that found her wandering outside Qiao's residence.
But soon, Ji Chang's heart was raised again, because Qiao Shangshu's critical eyes were too deep in his examination.
Of course, Qiao Shangshu was looking at Ji Chang, and he was looking at Ji Chang with the same picky look as an old man picking his son-in-law.After all, he had only heard about Ji Chang before today, and now that he finally saw him, he had to evaluate him.
At first glance, some dissatisfaction.
As the rumors say, Prince Ji was born weak.Now he is eighteen years old, not to mention his body is still thin, even his face and lips are a little less bloody.This makes Qiao Shangshu can't help worrying, even if Ji Chang will not go to the battlefield in person due to his health, poor health itself means that it is difficult to live a long life.If you pick a son-in-law, how can you pick a short-lived ghost? !
Qiao Shangshu's heart sank, but when he looked at Ji Chang's face again, he suddenly couldn't say anything.
The eyes are like peach blossoms, the pupils are like stars, the nose is like hanging gallbladder, and the mouth is like... Oh, no, the lips are a little white.But other than that, the people in front of me are as bright as the breeze and as bright as the bright moon. It doesn't seem like they grew up in the bitter cold borderlands like northern Xinjiang!It's not an exaggeration to say that she looks like a girl. If it weren't for a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows flying slantingly into her temples, with a bit of heroism, she would be no different from a daughter's family.
Generally speaking, Ji Chang is not the kind of heroic boy that the elders like.But Qiao Shangshu has to admit that his daughter still likes this kind of appearance, and this season's son is simply growing up according to his daughter's preferences!
Thinking about his worries, and then looking at Ji Chang's face, Qiao Shangshu was inexplicably upset.
Ji Chang didn't know what was going on in Qiao Shangshu's mind, and under Qiao Shangshu's scrutiny, she felt nervous for no reason.But fortunately she was calm, she stepped into the door, and gave a junior salute to Qiao Shangshu: "Ji Chang has met Master Qiao."
The young man's clear voice is also very nice, my daughter should like it...
Qiao Shangshu evaluated it in his heart, nodded his face, and said with great interest: "Ji Shizi has come to Beijing for the first time, and his eyesight is pretty good."
Ji Chang knew what he meant, his eyes drooped slightly, but he also told the truth: "When I come to Beijing for the first time, I always have to make some preparations."
Qiao Shangshu didn't say anything more.Ji's family is actually quite cautious, regardless of their background in the army, but how many generals are stupid?They just don't put their minds on the court's infighting, but they are definitely not reckless.
The two sides looked at each other, and Qiao Shangshu raised his hand: "Please sit down, Prince Ji."
Ji Chang was not polite, and sat opposite Qiao Shangshu.On the desk separated by the two was freshly brewed tea, Qiao Shangshu personally carried the pot and poured a cup for each of them, Ji Chang helped the cup as a gesture of humility.Even if the two did not say a word, they did not stop observing and appraising for a moment. Apart from Qiao Shangshu being picky about Ji Chang as his son-in-law, the two were also evaluating each other as an ally.
After a short period of calmness, Qiao Shangshu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and chose to get straight to the point: "Going home today, I just saw Ji Shizi wandering outside the mansion. I don't know why?"
When Ji Chang saw Qiao Shangshu, he knew that the other party would invite him over, and he must have discovered that he was staying outside his residence.As for not inviting him into the mansion, but making an appointment in this outside Wenxianglou, it is mostly to avoid suspicion, and also afraid of being caught in the eyes of others.
However, Ji Chang didn't expect that the famous old fox in the court would cut straight to the point when he opened his mouth.This made her a little surprised, and at the same time, she couldn't help feeling guilty and uncomfortable—can she say that she misses someone else's daughter?And this concern is not the usual "a fair lady, a gentleman likes a good girl", but that she deceives and cheats her into marriage for the sake of profit.
Just thinking about it like this made Ji Chang feel a little guilty towards Qiao Yue in his heart, even a little shaken.
Qiao Shangshu is also an old man, so he can see the difference in Ji Chang's expression at a glance, and it is easy to think of it to his daughter.It's just that he doesn't know Ji Chang's real identity, so his understanding is always a bit wrong.
For example, getting married is a common thing, and Ji Chang's ability to return to Beijing alone also means that she has the ability to be on her own.If she really fell in love with his family, Ah Yue, whether she came to propose marriage or revealed her intentions to him, she would never do such a thing as guarding outside his house.People who can do this kind of thing... probably are young men who have just started their love, and they feel stupid.
In this way, Master Shang Shu made a mistake by mistake, but he was relieved because of the guilty conscience and uneasiness in Ji Chang's eyes.At least the other party is not indifferent, and his daughter is not unrequited love, it is best to be happy with each other.
And it wasn't until this time that Ji Chang held back his words insincerely: "I'm going out today, and I just happened to pass by."
This reason was so clumsy that he couldn't bear to look directly at it, but Qiao Shangshu didn't expose it, but nodded his head as if believing it.Then he picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea, looking up inadvertently, he saw Ji Chang pursing his lips and staring at the teacup.With the sunlight shining on her body through the window, she looked really pretty. It's no wonder his family's Ah Yue was fascinated by the beauty.
Qiao Shangshu secretly sighed in his heart, and didn't get entangled in this matter, and casually chatted with Ji Chang.Although the latter is young, he has good knowledge, no matter what Qiao Shangshu said, he can catch up with a few sentences, and for a while, he seemed to have a happy conversation.
So unconsciously, a lot of time has passed.
Qiao Shangshu turned his head to look at the sky outside, and said: "It's getting late, I should go back home." After speaking, he got up, and said to Ji Chang: "It's just that Ji Shizi should be cautious in his actions, you are so ignorant" Passing by 'The mansion of another family, if you are not careful, it may cause people to misunderstand."
Ji Chang blinked, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "What uncle said is that there will never be another home."
****************************************************************************
Qiao Shangshu finally left contentedly. When he went out and passed the private room next door, he turned his head and glanced at the closed door.Then he didn't stop, he led his servant and left, and the carriage left Wenxianglou in a short time.
But Ji Chang on the other side was not in such a hurry to leave.She sat in the private room for a long time, watched Qiao Shangshu's carriage go away through the window, and took a full cup of cold tea in front of her, and then sighed deeply.
The first step has already been taken, and what happens in the future is probably up to her.
But at the same time, she also understood that she dragged an innocent woman into the water.And the other party has a family who loves her.If he hadn't met himself, Qiao Shangshu would have found another suitable husband for his daughter, right?
Thinking of these, Ji Chang couldn't help but feel guilty.Although she already had a marriage contract, Zhao Shuxuan was not chosen by her, she was the emperor's pawn, and she was sorry for himself, so Ji Chang never felt sorry for her, and he was merciless in his calculations.But Qiao Yue is different. She appeared at the gate of Qiao's mansion today, and it was her conversation with Qiao Shangshu just now... She was the one who pulled her into the game!
If things come true, maybe I should take on another woman's life, I just don't know if I can bear it on my shoulders?
Ji Chang thought wildly for a long time, but maybe he didn't delay for too long.The cold tea in the cups was exhausted, and Ji Chang had no intention of staying any longer, so he got up, straightened his clothes and cuffed his sleeves, and then went out.
Coincidentally, the door of the private room next door also opened at this time, and Mai Dong's head poked out from the door, looking around cautiously.
Ji Chang pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, the two looked at each other, and there was a moment of silence.
Of course Mai Dong knew Ji Chang, such a beauty, a normal person would never forget it.What's more, they followed each other before!So there was a "thump" in his heart, and Mai Dong quickly retracted his head and closed the door, quite a bit without 300 taels of silver here.
In fact, Ji Chang also knew Mai Dong, she had a good memory, and she still remembered that the little maid was by her side when she first met Qiao Yue.Now that the maid is here, Ms. Qiao should also be there, and seeing the flustered appearance of the other party, Ji Chang's heart suddenly became interested.
It was because of these two points of interest that Ji Chang didn't rush to leave, and stood outside the next door with his hands behind his back.
After waiting for a while, the door of the elegant room opened again.Only this time it was Qiao Yue who opened the door, and she was turning her head to talk to her maid: "I'm supposed to be leaving now, what are you afraid of?"
After finishing speaking, Qiao Yue caught a glimpse of Ji Chang's clothes out of the corner of her eye, and turned her head to meet Ji Chang's peach-like eyes.
The moment the four eyes met, the air was silent again.It's just that Miss Qiao was obviously more calm than the maid who closed the door in fright, so after a moment of astonishment, she was still able to greet her with a smile: "What a coincidence, does the prince also come here to drink tea?"
Ji Chang guessed that she was here, but when he saw Qiao Yue, his mood was delicate for a moment - she was still worried about dragging him into the water, but in fact, Miss Qiao didn't need her to drag him at all, right?Baba came along by himself!
After tidying up his mood, Ji Chang nodded: "Yes, but the tea is finished, and I have to leave too. Farewell, Miss Qiao."
After saying this, Ji Chang stepped up and left, as if she wasn't the one who blocked the door and waited for someone before.
Qiao Yue was slightly surprised when she saw this, before she had time to think about it, she subconsciously raised her foot and ran after her.
The author has something to say: Qiao Shangshu (looking left and right): Hey, where is my daughter?
Mai Dong (shrinking his neck and whispering): He has already run away with your future son-in-law.
Qiao Shangshu (...):? ? ? ! ! !
