Chapter 490: Morning court, if you like beautiful people, it’s better
"Woo~~"
"What's wrong??"
When the sky was still white, Xiangling and Cailuan reluctantly opened their eyes.
"There is still morning service today."
Jia Qi moved his body, reached out and patted the two girls beside him, with a little help.
Last night, Cai Luan, the housekeeper, told the maid not to forget to call for help. Today, luckily, she couldn't get up.
After hearing Jia Qi's words, the two girls, one large and one young, seemed to remember something and suddenly woke up.
Jia Qi had been away from home before, and had not gone to court for three months. He had lost the habit of going back and forth. Today is the first time since Jia Qi returned to Beijing. Although he has arranged for someone, his body is honest.
On the other side, Qingwen was already dressed, with Lao Gao pouting.
"I said it yesterday, but I forgot about it today. If I hadn't arranged for someone, the Marquis would have been delayed from going to court. I see you guys still want to sleep in the Marquis' bed in the future!
"
He was rude when he preached, and his words were full of jealousy.
Cai Luan and Xiang Ling knew that this incident was their fault, so they did not refute. They quickly put on their gauze clothes and began to help Jia Qi wash up.
"After the court is over, why don't you go to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion? Yesterday I posted a post, saying that if I have some free time, I would go and have a look. The garden where the queen used to visit her relatives has now been built. Let me see if you have any other suggestions. .”
"The Lin Mansion also posted a post about the things you brought back. The imperial court knows about those things and needs your advice on how to plant them!"
...
While packing Jia Qi's clothes and fastening his belt, Cai Luan quickly recalled the trivial matters of yesterday and explained them to Jia Qi.
The post was sent in the evening, and it was already quite late at the time. Jia Qi said he would remind him the next day.
"Over there at the Lin Mansion..."
When it came to Lin Mansion, Jia Qi felt a little strange in his heart, and his tone became a little hesitant.
Seeing Jia Qi like this, Cai Luan stood up on tiptoes and said in his ear: "I don't know what happened to Miss Lin. She has changed a lot. When she left our house, she was still looking for life and death. Later she came to Jia Qi. After leaving the house, I didn't see her having much involvement with Second Master Bao. Listening to the secret reports over there, she was often in a daze on weekdays. She looked through the book of words you left for Xichun before, but she didn't seem to put it down. If it were you. ....."
Jia Qi turned his head and met Cai Luan's dark eyes. They were very dull, reflecting his own appearance, but they also hid all kinds of tenderness.
"Why do you think so?"
"Don't have any regrets. Isn't this what you taught me?"
"Let's put this matter aside for now! Xiang Ling knows how to grow corn and sweet potatoes and how to eat them. You and Xiang Ling will go to the Lin Mansion later! Drop by to see how she is doing~~"
Cai Luan nodded. Speaking of which, it was Jia Qi's business to decide.
"As for the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, I really need to go there. I heard that Jia Baoyu changed his ways and took the imperial examination?"
"Well, that's the case. If I didn't know his original temperament, I would have thought he was a different person. He has changed a lot. Now the people in the Jia family have high expectations for him."
"Uncle, why do I feel that Second Master Bao hasn't changed? He's still like that, always fooling around when he sees a pretty girl!"
Qingwen, who had just brought back the basin for washing, heard Cai Luan's words and couldn't help but talk to her.
After hearing her words, Jia Qi looked at Cai Luan again.
Cai Luan's mouth twitched, "I'm talking about official career. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with liking pretty girls. If you don't like pretty girls, how can you like ugly ones? Then wouldn't all the girls in our house have to jump into the river?
!”
Stunned by Cai Luan's words, Qingwen stuck out her tongue. Cai Luan seemed to be right. The girls in the Hou family were all the same. If the Marquis didn't like pretty girls, they wouldn't want to cry.
"Well, it's better to like pretty ones!"
Qingwen unconsciously raised her hands to express her agreement. When Xiangling heard what the other party said, her face suddenly became a little unconfident. She knew that the girls in her family were all beautiful, but she felt that she was average.
She is not as magical as Miaoyu, not as charming as Qin Keqing, and not as talented as Cailuan who can help Jia Yu take care of the huge mansion. After all, it seems that she is useless at all, and she is not very good-looking.
Suddenly she felt that her life was a little dark.
Seeing the wandering little girl beside him, Jia Qi smiled and shook his head.
He reached out and touched her little head, then strode away.
After sending Jia Qi away, Cai Luan saw that Xiang Ling's mood suddenly became depressed, and she was a little curious about what happened to this little girl.
"What's wrong with you girl?"
"Sister Cai Luan, I like beautiful girls. I look so ugly. Does it mean that I don't like me anymore?"
Hearing the other party's words, Cai Luan's mouth twitched twice. Does this little girl have any abnormal understanding of beauty and ugliness? If she is an average-looking person, then there is no beauty in the entire Hou family, especially...
The natural rouge mole between her eyebrows adds to her agility.
"You damn girl, sincerely try to put people in a bad mood. If you are not pretty, then no one in the Hou family will be handsome! Put your heart back in your stomach. Ask Qingwen to see if she has the nerve to say she is prettier than you.
Peugeot no!”
Xiangling blinked, as if she still didn't believe it, and looked at Qingwen aside.
Qingwen's face also became unnatural, and she really wanted to tell her that if she wasn't beautiful, she wouldn't even be able to get through the door of the Marquis's Mansion. This was an experience she only had after staying in the Marquis' Mansion for a while.
"Hypocritical!"
Qingwen held it in for a long time, searching her guts to find a word that could describe her mood.
"Qingwen, you should say that you are shameless. There is a little beauty who says that she is not beautiful!"
Xiangling's face turned red when she heard Cai Luan's words, and then she hugged her, not daring to look up again.
Seeing this scene, Cai Luan felt very emotional for a moment, this silly girl! She has no calculation at all, but she is also surprisingly lovable. This is probably the reason why Jia Qi treats her so special.
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Clean up and let's go to the Lin Mansion."
Cai Luan patted Xiang Ling's shoulder and got down to business.
Xiangling also nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked what those two things are called yet!"
Xiangling blurted out without hesitation.
"My uncle said that corn and sweet potatoes can feed many people!"
.......
Outside the Daming Palace, as soon as Jia Qi got off his horse, he saw a man walking towards him. He was neither too old nor too young. Looking at the court clothes on the man's body, he seemed to be of high quality. He also saw that the man seemed to be coming towards him.
