After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

A blush appeared on Gong Yueying's face.

"Sister Nanzhi is also very cute. When you grow up, I'm afraid that few people will be able to compare with your looks."

This is not a compliment, but the truth.

Chen Xizhi was a stunning beauty in Beijing back then, so her daughter certainly wouldn't be bad either.

"Sister Nanzhi, isn't your brother here?" Gong Yueying said the last three words with some anticipation.

But she is smart, and Fang Nanzhi's appearance here seems to be the answer.

"Well, my brother is busy with his studies and can't keep the appointment. But he asked me to bring some gifts for Dean Gong and Madam Gong."

The maid behind Fang Nanzhi placed the small box on the table.

Gong Yueying unconsciously tightened her handkerchief, but the smile on her face remained appropriate.

The two girls didn't chat for long, just drank a cup of tea, and then Fang Nanzhi said goodbye.

The Fang family's carriage drove away, and Gong Yueying watched quietly, with an indescribable loneliness on her face.

Did Qin Yan really not want to give her any chance? He didn't even want to see her.

Turning around, Gong Yueying opened the box, which contained some books and jewelry that were obviously gifts for elders.

There was a compartment at the bottom of the box, with a wooden comb inside.

Gong Yueying couldn't hold back any longer, and tears started to fall down her face.

The maid was heartbroken.

"Miss……"

Gong Yueying wiped her eyes and said, "It's okay. He's very good. He clearly and completely made me give up on him."

"Tomorrow I will go back to see the one my mother arranged."

After all, she was a girl from a prominent family. She had married twice for love, but there would not be a third time.

The last time Qin Yan rejected her outright, Gong Yueying was planning to give up, but it is always difficult to give up on someone you love.

After Qin Yan became famous this time, many girls in the capital became interested in him.

Qin Yan is not a housewife who never leaves the house. Some girls have seen his appearance. He is a handsome young man with talent, which has attracted many girls to fall in love with him.

Gong Yueying has several close friends, and they all talk about Qin Yan in private.

This made Gong Yueying unable to help but try again.

Recently, quite a few handkerchiefs and purses have been sent to Fang's house inexplicably. After asking Qin Yan for permission, the housekeeper put a lot of medicinal herbs in them, which can repel mosquitoes and calm the nerves. Anyway, they won't harm people.

I set up a small stall in front of the general's mansion and gave things away for free every day.

As a result, Fang Nanzhi's free clinic became even more popular.

Qin Yan could turn a blind eye to the advances of those women he didn't know, but not Gong Yueying.

Whether it was for the dean's sake or Zhou Zijing's favor, Qin Yan couldn't be perfunctory.

He could only ask Fang Nanzhi to return the wooden comb.

In the carriage, Fang Nanzhi rested her chin on her hands and looked at her brother without blinking.

"Brother, you don't even like Sister Yueying, what kind of girl do you want?"

Qin Yan found her gossipy look cute.

He really hasn't thought about this issue seriously.

Although Qin Yan has made many friends over the years while studying for the imperial examinations.

But perhaps it was the change of attitude of the Qin family members when he was young that made him always wary of others in his heart.

What Qin Yan cherishes most is his current home.

He cherishes everyone.

And marrying a wife is like choosing one's own family, and he didn't know what to do.

Qin Yan shook his head.

Fang Nanzhi felt sorry for those sisters who were moved.

Show your charming eyes to the blind man.

Qin Yan looked at her and said, "There's news in the palace that His Majesty is looking to arrange a marriage for the Crown Prince."

According to past practice, the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess Consort would be appointed at the same time.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened: "How come I don't know?"

"The news hasn't been made public yet, only some classmates at the Imperial College know about it."

As for how he knew this, he must have accidentally heard his elders talking about it at home and couldn't help but talk nonsense.

In fact, the prince is in good health, capable, and valued by the emperor.

At this time, if there was anything that made people uneasy about the Eastern Palace, it was that the Crown Prince had not yet married.

Once the prince gets married and has children, the emperor can rest assured.

Fang Nanzhi frowned at first, then sighed.

Seeing this, Qin Yan's heart was a little lifted. Could it be that his sister was...

"Alas, the Crown Prince is getting married, so I must give him a large gift. But he wants to marry both the Crown Princess and the Concubine at the same time, so don't I have to give him two gifts?"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands and said, "This is too much of a loss. I will only have one husband when I get married, and the prince will definitely only be able to return a gift."

She lost a lot from this back and forth.

Qin Yan's heart fell again, and he felt a little funny.

Now that we don't lack these things at home, has my sister inherited my father's stinginess?

The carriage was heading towards the outer city, passing through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at Yongding Gate in the capital.

Today, the brother and sister have another thing to do, which is to see off the Miao saint.

After Fang Nanzhi's suggestion, the saint took the initiative to go to the palace to ask for an audience.

She offered some non-toxic Gu, but the key point was that there were two very special kinds of Gu, one of which was said to be able to cure all poisons, and the other to prolong life.

However, the life-extending Gu, how long it lasts, and how it is extended have never been passed on.

The emperor gave the Miao saint the title of village chief.

The title is not great, but it is enough to show the Miao people's submission to the court and Your Majesty.

If there is any more witchcraft incident in the future, the village chief can be summoned to the capital.

Therefore, the emperor generously granted the village chief's request to return to Lingnan.

After getting off the carriage, Ma Caiwei and the elder were wearing something very different today, Miao clothing.

When Fang Nanzhi saw it for the first time, her eyes lit up.

"Wow, Caiwei, you are so beautiful."

Ma Caiwei smiled brightly, like a bird that had escaped from a cage.

"This is the clothing of our Miao people. I'll give you a set."

"Okay, okay." Fang Nanzhi didn't even bother to be polite.

As the two girls chattered, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Qingyan followed orders and came to see the village chief off.

Ma Caiwei quickly led the elders in greeting: "Greetings, Prince."

Qing Yan dismounted and nodded coldly, "No need for formalities."

Qin Yan also pulled his sister to pay her respects. Although Fang Nanzhi had a jade pendant, she still had to give face to her little friend in public.

But Qing Yan reached out and held her wrist, and only Qin Yan bowed.

"No more courtesy."

Qin Yan stood up straight, looking directly at the prince with an undisguised gaze, feeling that something was wrong.

Fang Nanzhi didn't notice and made an appointment with Ma Caiwei to exchange letters.

Perhaps because the prince was present, Ma Caiwei seemed nervous and reserved, and omitted many of the things she wanted to say.

The two sides said goodbye in a hurry, and Ma Caiwei and the elder left on horseback.

After being out of the prince's sight, Ma Caiwei felt relieved.

"Saint, I'm afraid the tribesmen may have some opinions about you becoming the village chief."

The Sixth Elder was a little worried.

Ma Caiwei didn't answer directly, but only said: "This prince is probably more powerful than the current one."

The implication is that if the Miao people refuse to bow their heads, are they going to go against the imperial court?

Fang Nanzhi didn't look away until he could no longer see the horses and the convoy.

He looked up at the person next to him and said, "Your Highness, are you free today?"

It’s really depressing. When she was a child, she looked up at Qing Yan, but now she is thirteen, and it seems that the height difference between them is getting bigger and bigger.
