My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 60 The second cousin is tempted and worried

It was not just the old ladies who were shocked, everyone present widened their eyes and showed incomprehension. It can be seen that Princess Qinghuan continued to drink tea calmly, as if she did not need any refutation or opinion from outsiders at all, she only needed acceptance and recognition.

It was cousin-in-law Xiang who came to the rescue first and said to Princess Qinghuan.

"Congratulations to the princess."

"Young lady, you are very polite. I, the princess, and Prince Consort Cheng would like to thank you in advance."

At this point, even if everyone was still doubtful and puzzled, they no longer dared to show any surprise, and everyone started to admire him.

Princess Qinghuan was okay, after all, she had grown up being held in someone's hand, but Cheng Dengping beside her was a little uncomfortable with it. His ears were red, and his whole person was a little restless.

He was obviously just a scholar, so why did he become a Jinshi in the same year as his eldest cousin?

With Princess Qinghuan here, it would be easy to fake her identity, but what Jiang Shiyuan didn't understand was why the princess would do this, and she could see that this marriage was not what Cheng Dengping wanted, but because everyone was present, she also It was hard to ask too many questions, so I could only suppress the matter silently and wait until I had the chance to speak again.

On the contrary, Pei Zifeng glanced at Princess Qinghuan and saw the confidence and determination she showed when she looked at him. He immediately understood that there seemed to be a big fish behind Cheng Dengping.

But what exactly is this fish?

He could actually let Qing Huan, a majestic princess of a country, use her own marriage as bait, so he became curious.

Due to the arrival of Princess Qinghuan, the banquet in the Marquis Mansion was naturally more lively than before. The ladies didn't have many opportunities to see Princess Qinghuan on weekdays, so at this time, even if the princess could not enter She had to come up to her to show her familiarity, so with her here and the two old ladies being eloquent, the atmosphere at the table was unusually good.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't move forward at this time. Pei Zifeng was standing next to her. He also knew that she was not a showy person, so he stayed with her.

The two of them were standing at the door. Not long after, they saw Pei Ziyao, who was so respectful, coming back. Jiang Shiyuan looked at her energetic look, and her whole body seemed to relax a lot, thinking that she still had a headache. When I met Princess Qinghuan once, I was afraid of causing any trouble, so I stepped forward and gave her a few instructions.

"Cousin, Princess Qinghuan is here."

"Oh? Really? Then I have to go and take a look."

"The princess has been the most dazzling presence in the crowd since she was a child, and I know my cousin is the same, but sometimes it's better to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary rumors."

Pei Ziyao was not stupid, and he could naturally tell that Jiang Shiyuan was doing it for his own good, so his impression of this future sister-in-law was improved to a higher level, and then he stepped forward with a sweet smile and responded.

"I understand. This is Xijing City after all, and she is a princess."

Pei Ziyao's temperament sounds free and straightforward at best, but if he has to be entangled, he is a bit too upright. This is the first time the two of them interact, and it is better to be soft-tempered, so Jiang Shiyuan said this.

Pei Zisu heard it and whispered in Jiang Shiyuan's ear.

"Don't think this girl is too straightforward. She has a lot of ideas. Even if you didn't remind her today, she would still know what to do."

There was a bit of ridicule in Pei Zifeng's words. He knew that cousin Anian was doing it for his sister's good, but even though his sister had grown up in the military for so many years, she still had to learn the rules and etiquette, so he was not afraid of her either. It would be inappropriate in front of the princess.

"That's it, then wouldn't I be superfluous?"

"No, you will be her sister-in-law in the future, so it is for her own good to say more."

Pei Zisu's words were full of doting, and Jiang Shiyuan shrugged helplessly. The two turned around and saw Pei Ziyao in the room, making Princess Qinghuan very happy with just a few words. She was indeed a daughter carefully cultivated by the Pei family. He can ride on a horse to bring peace and stability to the country, and he can also go around the back house and dance with long sleeves.

"Cousin is right, cousin is really amazing!" It's not just the two of them who have the same idea. The ladies who have children and nephews at home are looking at Pei Ziyao like a bee seeing a honeypot. People's eyes shine.

This is the girl from the Pei family.

His status, appearance, and ability are all impeccable. If he can win her favor, then no matter whose family he is, his family will probably rise with the tide, so someone almost mentioned it to Mrs. Pei.

"I wonder if Miss Pei is engaged?"

Of course Mrs. Pei understood what the other party meant, but she didn't want her daughter's marriage to have anything to do with the powerful people in Xijing City, so she said something ambiguous.

"I picked out a few houses for her and looked at each other."

Seeing this, the lady also heard that the Pei family had no intention of marrying them, so she did not press any more and went to talk to the other ladies. Mrs. Pei, the Marquis sitting next to her, was a little puzzled, and then she came closer and whispered. asked in a voice.

"When did sister-in-law visit Zi Yaoxiang? Why didn't I know?"

"Her temperament, what would you think if she knew I was here talking to the ladies about this?"

A rhetorical question made Mrs. Hou Pei couldn't help but chuckle, and turned to look at her niece Pei Ziyao. Also, if this girl knew that her marriage had become an anecdote in the chat, it would be strange to cause an uproar. .

She pressed the powder on the corner of her mouth and felt that today's birthday was really interesting. Her mind was focused on the house, and she didn't realize that in the waterside pavilion outside the house, her second son, who always walked the cat and played with the dog, seemed a little different. .

In addition to Jiang Shiyuan, the visitors to the Jiang family today also include Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang Third and Fourth Miss Jiang.

Jiang Huaishan took his nephew Jiang Shilin and his uncle Wenyuanhou to talk with others. Mrs. Jiang was also not idle and dressed up carefully. Although it was not jewelery, she still looked wealthy at first glance. Looks like an old lady.

Behind her, Jiang Shishu and Jiang Shiyue were like two budding flowers. One looked like a gardenia, elegant and refreshing, while the other looked like a hydrangea, full of bustling flowers.

After seeing too many young ladies from aristocratic families who were arrogant or flamboyant, many young men were a little curious about the two girls from the Jiang family who had never seen them before, so they boldly spoke to their second cousin Wang Kuan. asked.

"Is this your cousin too?"

"That's right, but we rarely interacted with each other before."

"I'd like to tell you that you are a very handsome boy. Not only are your cousins ​​as beautiful as gods, but these two are also rare beauties. Why don't you introduce me to them?"

The speaker was Qiu Bojun, the son of the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple, a good friend of his second cousin Wang Kuan.

He is enthusiastic and cheerful, but he is also a casual person, so when he said this, I was purely curious and didn’t have any dirty thoughts. It’s just that Wang Kuan had other thoughts in his mind, so I glanced at that person. Qiu Bojun later issued a warning.

"Don't use your evil thoughts. They are all concubine girls. They can't stand your teasing. If someone sees them, they might say that they want to have a good relationship with a dragon and a phoenix. With your status, it is impossible for the family to let you pick a thousand picks." I’ll choose a concubine from the Jiang family, so I’d better stay away.”

"Hey, are you enjoying the firecrackers today? I just said a few words and you're here to refute me? I'm afraid you're having a bad idea, so you're here to point me out on purpose, right?"

Qiu Bojun's words made Wang Kuan blush for a moment. It was a rare occasion when he would dodge his eyes, so the brothers from Weiwei Temple were so happy that they all came over and spoke with ridicule.
