When Jingwan returned to the Luo family, she had already regained her calm. She didn't know what Jin Qinwang wanted to do, but she could only do what she should do. If something happened, then she would deal with it accordingly. If she couldn't deal with it, then perhaps she should just wait for someone to deal with it.
Jingwan didn't take the initiative to talk about it, so Gong Mama also didn't ask. Even if Jingwan treated her as an elder, after all, there was a difference between master and servant. In addition, Jingwan herself had her own opinions. Even if she was worried, she would strictly abide by her duties and wouldn't ask about everything. She just repeatedly instructed the two servant girls accompanying her to keep their mouths shut and not mention a single word to anyone. The two servant girls also knew that this matter was related to their family's young lady's reputation, so they repeatedly promised Gong Mama. As for the coachman, Gong Mama just said a few words. Regarding this person, Gong Mama wasn't worried at all, because he was the living King of Hell's people.
The arrival of the Chen family's third branch in the capital also meant that the marriage between Jingwan and Chen Zhengmin was officially put on the table. When the Chen family came to the Luo family, after Chen Zhengmin's elders saw Jingwan, there was no one who was dissatisfied. Such a young lady was simply outside of their expectations. Chen Zhengmin's mother took off a bracelet on the spot and put it on Jingwan's hand.
After that, the entire Luo family basically knew about this marriage.
Perhaps it was because Luo Jingying had gotten a definite answer from her father. Her father had listened to her suggestion and she would get what she wanted, so she was in a good mood. That was why she smiled at everyone she met. It was the kind of smile that came from the bottom of her heart. She did not act one way in front of others or behind their backs.
With the help of Luo Rongping's money, Luo Jingying looked brand new. In the past, she didn't like delicate and beautiful clothes and jewelry, but now she was very fond of them. Those things that she loved in the past, in a flash, were discarded by her like worn-out shoes. It was so natural that one couldn't see any reluctance. It must be said that some of her strength was really not ordinary.
Luo Jingying took the servant girls to the Begonia House, "Meimei congratulates Third Jiejie here."
Jingwan glanced at her from head to toe. Unlike Luo Jingying's expectation, she chuckled and said, "Congratulations to you too."
Luo Jingying was startled and a little flustered. Could it be that their third branch's plan had been found out? But thinking about it, it was simply impossible. "Third Elder Sister really knows how to joke. Little Sister doesn't have any good news."
"The third branch is harmonious. Third Uncle treats Fourth Sister even better than before. Third Aunt is also more virtuous and generous. Fourth Sister is going to have a younger brother or sister. Isn't that a good thing?" Jingwan said with some doubt.
Even though Luo Jingying was in a good mood, her face cracked a little. She knew better than anyone the reason why the third branch could have a temporary peace. They were clearly poking her where it hurt. Luo Jingying was so vicious. She originally wanted to wait until she had a bright future and ask Prince Rui to support her Third Elder Sister's husband's family. But it seemed that it was completely unnecessary. If she couldn't grasp the opportunity given to her, what else could she do? As for that slut, now that her father was protecting her, she could be arrogant for a while. When she and Prince Rui's matter was settled, she would slowly deal with her and the bastard child in her belly! "Third Elder Sister is right. It is indeed a good thing."
Jingwan smiled and nodded.
Luo Jingying came happily and left angrily. She couldn't say anything now. Just wait and see. One day, Luo Jingwan will have to kneel and beg me!
"Fourth Young Lady is becoming more and more unruly." Qing Ju was outspoken. After Luo Jingying left, she couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
"Shut up. How is Fourth Young Lady? It's not something you can talk about." The wet nurse patted Qing Ju.
Qing Ju wrinkled her nose and didn't speak anymore. The others laughed and shook their heads.
Because both sides had intentions, the rest of the matter was natural. The third branch of the Chen family had just arrived in the capital and naturally didn't have time to buy many things. However, the first branch had already prepared. They didn't think that the third branch would refuse this marriage. In fact, when Chen Zhengmin learned of this matter, he was overjoyed. This was something he had never expected. He didn't dare to dream of a girl like the third cousin of the Luo family before. If he could get a good ranking after this imperial examination, it would be fine. But now … he was so happy that he was silly!
Na Caili was well-behaved. The geese he used were the commonly used wooden ones. Chen Zhengmin wanted to get a live one, but unfortunately, he could only dream about it. Fortunately, whether it was the Luo family or Jingwan herself, they didn't care too much about this. It was enough for them to be polite. Then, it was time to exchange the marriage invitation. In just a few days, it was basically done smoothly.
However, because Jingwan's coming-of-age hairpin ceremony had to wait until next year, whether it was Madame Luo, Luo Peishan, or even Jingwan's parents, they all hoped to keep Jingwan for two more years. Therefore, the wedding date was at least two years away. This gave Chen Zhengmin some time to make some achievements. At least, the elders of the Luo family would be more assured to hand Jingwan over to him. He also thought so. A girl like his cousin needed to be pampered. He couldn't have nothing.
When all these things were settled, Madame Luo also breathed a sigh of relief. Before, she still felt uneasy. It seemed that she thought too much.
She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but Jingwan's engagement was done very low-key. Of the three best sisters she met after entering the capital, only Yuan Qiaoqiao knew some news from her mother. After all, this kind of happy event, it was normal for relatives to know. The other two were completely unaware, especially Sun Yijia. Perhaps she faintly felt that Sun Yijia really wanted her to be her sister-in-law. These days, Jingwan even unilaterally cut off all contact with Sun Yijia. Fortunately, because of the trouble caused by Kang Qinwang, Jin Qinwang, and Sun Yilin, Ding Guo Gong fu was once again in the midst of the wind and waves. Sun Yijia was getting married next month and had a lot of things to do. Jingwan hid it from her, so she couldn't go to the Luo family.
The wedding date was still early. Embroidering the dowry and so on could be done slowly. Therefore, Jingwan went out. It was time to go see Yuan Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yingshuang. As for Ding Guo Gong fu, it was not convenient to go for the time being. The "love triangle" between the three men and how the court and the harem had become, Jingwan knew clearly from her grandfather, Luo Peishan.
After Jingwan heard about it, there was only one word that could describe her feelings — — embarrassed!
In her opinion, this matter was most likely caused by Jin Qinwang. If he really didn't care about men and women, he most likely wouldn't reach out his hand to Sun Yilin. What could be done, what could be done that would be disadvantageous to him, there was no reason for that kind of person to not be clear. Playing around was one thing, but if it was for real, then it was completely different. However, Jingwan always felt that it might not be just because his bad temper flared up. Doing something for entertainment when he had nothing to do was probably just to cover up his true purpose. But she also didn't hear her grandfather mention anything else in the court that was worth paying attention to ah.
If Jingwan knew that Li Hongyuan's purpose was just to tie down the feet of one love rival and let the other love rival smoothly get engaged with the girl at the bottom of his heart, what kind of expression would she have?
Making such a big fuss, was it just to help the love rival? It should be said that Jin Qinwang really wasn't an ordinary person. His mind was treacherous, and he didn't act according to common sense!
Even when she went to see the people who were recuperating, she didn't bring any medicinal herbs or the like. Those things, the Luo family had already sent a lot of them over. Jingwan only brought a few pots of flowers and plants, as well as the rouge and face powder that she had made these days. There were also some skincare products, all of which were made with pure natural ingredients, so there was no need to worry about being poisoned.
Jingwan first went to the Yuan family. Yuan Qiaoqiao's father was the director of the Ministry of Appointments. A fourth rank official, in a local area, may be a leader, but in a place like the capital, it really didn't count for much. However, the Ministry of Appointments was in charge of the appointment, dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and so on. Therefore, even if it was the lowest rank official in the Ministry of Appointments, there would still be a lot of people fighting over it. Didn't you see how when Jingwan and the others entered the capital, when Eldest Aunt came to visit, Liu-shi anxiously rushed forward to curry favor?
Yuan Qiaoqiao's situation wasn't bad. Luo Peishan personally invited the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, and with the medicine prescribed by Great Master Liaochen, her situation was much better than expected. Compared to before, her body might be a bit weaker, but it wasn't to the extent that she would become a pot of medicine that couldn't be exposed to the wind. As long as the broken leg was properly taken care of, there wouldn't be any hidden dangers.
"Wan Wan, you finally came. I was almost bored to death in the room."
As soon as she heard Yuan Qiaoqiao say the word 'die', her wet nurse hurriedly spat twice, telling her to stop talking nonsense.
Yuan Qiaoqiao hurriedly responded and didn't say anything else. She turned around and stuck out her tongue at Jingwan. It seemed that because of this matter, she had been tormented in many ways.
Jingwan saw that Yuan Qiaoqiao was so energetic that she was truly relieved. However, with Yuan Qiaoqiao's lively personality, she was afraid that she really was bored to death because she couldn't move her leg.
"Where's Aunt? Why don't I see her?" Jingwan didn't see her from the moment she entered the Yuan family's gate.
Yuan Qiaoqiao pursed her lips. "I think you know about our family's situation. Isn't it because there's trouble over there? My mother is now serving her like an old maid, and my grandmother and the others are also complying with her in everything. I hope she can really give birth to a son, otherwise, she'll suffer afterwards."
Yuan Qiaoqiao was so relaxed and didn't worry about her mother at all because she knew that her father and grandmother treated her mother very well. Although her grandmother was also worried that her mother couldn't give birth to a grandson for her, she still repeatedly comforted her mother that this child was fate. Even if she didn't have a legitimate younger brother, her grandmother wouldn't put a concubine above her mother's head, and her father wouldn't spoil the concubine and neglect the wife.
Therefore, when Jingwan said that her grandfather didn't choose the wrong person for her aunts, she wasn't just saying it.
Jingwan didn't say much. In this kind of situation, as one of those "lucky" concubines and concubines, nine out of ten of them were arrogant. If they got what they wanted, they might become even more arrogant. However, if they met a powerful matriarch, it was equivalent to giving birth to a child, and there was nothing for her to do. If she was obedient, she might be able to keep her life. If she wasn't obedient, she might be able to keep the child and leave the mother. This kind of thing couldn't be more normal.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's so boring. What did you bring for me? Let me take a look. "
There were a few pots of green flowers and plants, big and small. They looked very spirited and made people feel comfortable just by looking at them.
"They're raised very well. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? What if I don't pay attention to them and they go bad? "
"I know that Cousin is a careless person, so these are very easy to raise." Jingwan looked at her with a smile.
"You've got guts. You dare to laugh at Cousin?" Yuan Qiaoqiao wanted to tickle her.
Jing Wan dodged it easily. "Cousin, you should wait until your leg is better before we talk about it."
Yuan Qiaoqiao was so angry that she pounded the bed and said "ruthlessly" that when she recovered, she would definitely teach her a lesson.
Jingwan saw that she was full of energy and stopped teasing her. Instead, she began to coax her and asked the servant to take out other things. Most girls would like these things.
Sure enough, Yuan Qiaoqiao was very happy when she saw them. One had to know that when they were at White Dragon Temple, the simple makeup made by Jingwan gave them a big surprise.
Although Jingwan didn't make a lot these days, she prepared most of it to give to her three good sisters. Therefore, after distributing it, it wasn't a small amount. It was enough for them to use for a while. Of course, if they were to give it away, it would be a different story.
"Try it on the back of your hand for two days. If there's no problem, use it on other places."
"Eh, why?"
"I'm worried that there will be problems like redness or rashes."
"How is that possible? Wan Wan, would you harm me?" Yuan Qiaoqiao waved her hand dismissively.
"It's not like that. Everyone's skin is different. Some things can be used, while others can't. It's like how some people will feel uncomfortable when they touch certain flowers. It's the same principle. I'm worried that you will suffer."
"There's such a thing?" Yuan Qiaoqiao was surprised. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed. "Wan Wan, I suddenly remembered something, so I won't keep you. You can go back first. I'll apologize to you next time." She lowered her voice. "Also, about your engagement, you're really fast. I'll have to ask you properly next time."
Jingwan thought that what she said probably made Yuan Qiaoqiao think of something else. She didn't want to stay any longer and got up to leave.
After the wet nurse sent Jingwan and the others out and came back, Yuan Qiaoqiao hurriedly said, "Wet nurse, do you think that aunt's problem is related to what Wan Wan said?"
"It's possible. Miss, you mean … "
"Aunt came to see me yesterday. I don't know how many times she cried when I saw her eyes. My heart ached when I saw her. We all know what kind of person aunt is. She would never do such a vicious thing. Uncle's family actually made a fuss about divorcing her. If it's really like what Wan Wan said, then everything will be solved."
"Then I'll go find Old Madame now and tell them about this matter."
"Okay, you can go, wet nurse."
Jingwan left the Yuan Residence and went directly to the Zhou Residence. Because she had sent the invitation yesterday, although it was a little early, it wasn't considered rude.
After learning that Zhou Yingshuang's eyes could actually see, there was nothing more joyous than this.
Zhou Yingshuang's injuries weren't serious. At this moment, she wasn't lying on the bed like Yuan Qiaoqiao. Instead, she was sitting by the window with a smile on her face. It seemed that she was in a very good mood.
"Did something good happen?" Jingwan walked up to her and teased.
"Jingwan, you're here. Come and sit down."
Jingwan sat down and waved her hand in front of Zhou Yingshuang's eyes.
Zhou Yingshuang grabbed her hand and said, "I can really see." Zhou Yingshuang smiled sweetly.
She didn't look like she was just happy because her eyes had a chance to fully recover. "Can you tell me what good news it is?"
Zhou Yingshuang's face blushed. Well, there was no need to say anything. Jingwan had already guessed it. After a moment of hesitation, she wanted to share the good news with her friend. She leaned close to Jingwan and whispered, "He came to see me. He just left not long ago. Although he only said a few words outside, I'm so happy. Our family was originally discussing the marriage between me and the Lord Chancellor's son. Actually, things were almost done. Originally, I thought that because of my eyes, the marriage would probably be canceled. I didn't expect that the second day after we came back, the Lord Chancellor's wife personally came and asked me to take care of my eyes. Today, he came in person. He still doesn't know that my eyes are getting better. I originally thought that he was just like that, but now, now … "
Very good, this was a typical example of someone who didn't care at first, but was played the tender card when they were weak. After a few words of concern and a promise of "never leaving", that little heart of hers began to beat rapidly. In an instant, she fell into the trap of love and couldn't climb back up.
These little girls were actually quite easy to fall in love and were also very gullible. It was just that she didn't know whether the Lord Chancellor's son was sincere, or because of the family's "coercion", or because of the good reputation of "being affectionate and righteous". Jingwan hoped that she could be the first. Otherwise, after the marriage, if the other party wasn't as good as she expected, she would definitely be more disappointed or even painful. A little hurt from the other party would be ten times or a hundred times more painful.
However, at this time, Jingwan naturally wouldn't pour cold water on her. Little girls who fell into the river of love were similarly unreasonable. If you said that the other party wasn't good, you might have ulterior motives. Perhaps, the other party would think that you were sowing discord and couldn't bear to see her well. Good sisters, good girlfriends who turned against each other because of a man, weren't there many?
Perhaps she should take some time to talk to her wet nurse and let them remind her at an appropriate time? However, these words really weren't suitable for an unmarried little girl like her to say. Jingwan suddenly patted her own head. Which woman in the inner courtyard wasn't sophisticated? Even if they hadn't seen the twists and turns of the inner courtyard, they had heard a lot of it. What else could they not think of?
After reaching the same point, she no longer hesitated and took out the gift for Zhou Yingshuang.
In Gong Mama's opinion, her Miss was good in every way, but sometimes she just loved to worry. And the things that she worried about basically wouldn't happen. With how much the prince cared about her, if she was unhappy, he would naturally help her get rid of the source of her "unhappiness".
Gong Mama had never worried that her Miss's close friends would have a bad life in the future, even if it was Sun Yijia who was in the worst situation right now.
