Chapter 192 The Sick Concubine in the Pampering Story 24
"Do you have someone you like?" Jiang Wanwan turned her gaze to Ji Hanci who was running with other women.
Jiang Lang naturally followed his gaze and saw the woman in pink. Her face was not made up but she looked lively and pretty. At this moment, she had a wanton smile on her face, like a ray of sunshine.
Jiang Lang's handsome face, which originally showed no emotion, had a slight tremor in his eyelashes. After coughing, he seemed to be embarrassed and looked away, but he couldn't help but glance at the woman in pink from time to time.
Jiang Lang opened his mouth, but finally followed his heart and said, "It's all up to my sister."
When Jiang Wanwan heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
How could she not see that her brother obviously had a special liking for Ji Hanci.
So Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you seen her before?"
Jiang Lang did not intend to hide it from his sister. He answered frankly, "I met him once when I was looking at the list..."
However, his speech stopped abruptly, and it was obvious that he had not finished speaking.
But seeing his expression, how could Jiang Wanwan not know the reason.
Jiang Lang must have fallen in love with Ji Hanci at first sight, but because of the difference in their status he didn't dare to disturb her easily.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but said softly, "You are now the Minister of Revenue, the brother of the wife of the Marquis, and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War. Naturally, you are worthy of her."
Then she set her eyes on Ji Hanci again. Since her brother liked her, she would make him happy no matter what.
At this time, Yuner, who was standing behind her, guessed what her wife was thinking, and couldn't help but lean over to her ear and whispered, "Madam, Miss Ji seems to have someone she likes."
Jiang Wanwan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Oh, who." It seemed that she didn't expect that the girl her brother liked had someone else in her heart.
But if you think about it carefully, Ji Hanci is beautiful and has a cheerful and straightforward personality, so it is natural for some people to like her.
And Jiang Lang's lonely look didn't seem like he was unaware of it.
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan had no intention of lowering her voice, Yuner immediately understood her intention, so she stopped lowering her voice and spoke in a normal tone, "Su Ran, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, is Aunt Wan's younger brother."
Jiang Lang naturally heard the voice clearly, but his brows did not move, which seemed to indicate that he had known it for a long time.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan pondered in her heart. After a moment, she asked again, "What about the Minister of War?"
This matter depends on the opinion of the Minister of War. If he neither supports nor blocks it, it means Jiang Lang has a chance.
Yoona didn't hide it, and hesitated a little, "It seems that he is interested in it."
This is not good news.
But she is not afraid even if the Minister of War supports her. As long as Jiang Lang likes her, she will always find a way to let her brother marry her.
Jiang Wanwan's eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment's glance, a tender smile suddenly appeared on her delicate and beautiful face: "So what? It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. They haven't gotten engaged yet, so my brother naturally has a chance."
Su Wanran's brother seemed to have a very good relationship with her. Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan began to feel confident again, with a meaningful smile on her delicate face.
"Besides, Miss Ji's intentions may not be accepted by Scholar Su Hanlin, right?"
Then he told Bi'er, "Go and ask Miss Ji to come over, and tell her that I see her as usual and want to talk to her."
Bier hurriedly walked out of the gauze stage and walked hurriedly towards the direction where Ji Hanci was.
The concubine's daughter Ji Hanxiang, who had been secretly watching Ji Hanci's every move, naturally noticed Bier in the gauze pavilion. Her clothes were no worse than those of ordinary officials' wives.
Ji Hanxiang immediately waved the fan in her hand and asked in a low voice to the official's wife who was also a concubine beside her: "This maid is well dressed. Who is sitting in the pavilion?"
"That should be a maid from Marquis Weixin's mansion. Marquis Weixin's wife is also here today, so it must be someone around her." The concubine's daughter next to her answered.
When Ji Hanxiang heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and she started to ponder it secretly in her heart.
Ji Hanxiang had naturally heard of Jiang Wanwan, the wife of Marquis Weixin. She was a capable person and the object of Ji Hanxiang's envy.
After all, being able to climb step by step from a small concubine to the high position of a marquis's wife requires such means and abilities, which are truly admirable.
Ji Hanxiang sighed inwardly, thinking how great it would be if she could marry into a prominent family like Jiang Wanwan!
But when Bi'er walked up to Ji Hanci and seemed to say something as she walked towards the pavilion, Ji Hanxiang was jealous but also slightly puzzled, "But why did the Marquis' wife want to see my eldest sister?"
The official's wife understood, "The wife of Marquis Weixin has a younger brother who is now the Minister of Revenue at a young age. He is old enough to marry someone else, and it seems that he has chosen your eldest sister."
When Ji Hanxiang heard this, the smile on the Minister of Revenue's face changed again and again. His official position was already on par with her father's, and he was so young and had the support of the prestigious Marquis's wife. This was probably the best marriage match in the whole capital.
But Ji Hanxiang was not happy at all. Instead, she was jealous and resentful.
Ji Hanci was just a legitimate daughter, she was neither smart nor talented. She won the favor of the wife of Marquis Wei Xin just by playing polo, why did she always have such good luck.
Thinking of this, Ji Hanxiang walked towards Ji Hanci who was following Bier to the gauze pavilion, called her "Big Sister", and pretended to be looking for Ji Hanci by chance. When she saw Bier, she asked with some confusion: "Who is this..."
Bi'er immediately interrupted her, "I am the maid of Marquis Weixin, and my lady wants to see Miss Ji."
Ji Hanxiang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react. She quickly stepped aside and said, "It turns out that it is the Marquis's wife who is looking for my elder sister. Then you should go and meet her!"
However, there was a hint of curiosity and envy in her eyes.
Ji Hanci didn't have so many thoughts, and didn't think too much, and said directly to Bi'er: "Since the Marquis's wife wants to see the young lady of the Ji family, and she didn't say how many people there are, can I let my sister go with her?"
Bi'er had already received a hint from Yoona, so she naturally knew that when Jiang Wanwan said she wanted to meet Miss Ji, she actually wanted to meet both Ji Hanci and Ji Hanxiang at the same time.
So, she smiled and said to the two of them, "In that case, then you should come with me to meet the Marquis's wife!"
Hearing this, Ji Hanxiang's face immediately showed joy, and she followed Bi'er without hesitation and walked towards the pavilion. Ji Hanci beside her followed silently.
Soon, they arrived in front of the pavilion. When they saw Jiang Wanwan sitting in the main seat, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Jiang Wanwan was seen wearing a white and blue dress, with a look of frailty between her eyebrows. However, this frailty did not affect her beauty. Instead, it made her look even more morbidly beautiful, as if she would break at the slightest touch, making people feel pity for her.
Even Ji Hanxiang, who always prided herself on her beauty, couldn't help feeling ashamed.
