Chapter 627 Xiao Ruolan!
When Xiao Ruolan heard Qiqige mention Ye Mingsheng's name, a hint of curiosity emerged in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she asked Qiqige softly:
“Sister Qiqige, what kind of person is Marshal Ye…”
In response to Xiao Ruolan's question, the outspoken Qiqige wanted to say something immediately, but when the words came to her lips, she seemed to realize something, and after thinking about it, she swallowed the words back and said evasively:
"The Marshal is a good man, and is very much loved by the people!"
Qiqige's answer obviously did not satisfy Xiao Ruolan, and Qiqige did not know how to tell her, so she could only say:
"The Marshal will be back from Zhuo County soon. You can feel it for yourself then!"
Xiao Ruolan nodded silently when she heard this.
Seeing that Xiao Ruolan didn't ask any further questions, Qiqige secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She almost let the cat out of the bag just now.
In her heart, Ye Mingsheng is a big bastard who is fickle and unfaithful. His wife is so good to him and even tried her best to give birth to a child for him to continue the bloodline of the Ye family. However, Ye Mingsheng turned around and married that bitch Murong Qingwu. This bitch Murong Qingwu, on the surface, looks like she is at peace with the world and lives a peaceful life, but in fact, she is full of bad intentions.
What makes Qiqige most angry is that Ye Mingsheng, who has always been wise and brave, seems to be dumbed down when it comes to Murong Qingwu. He can’t see through Murong Qingwu’s intentions at all, and is obsessed with the gentle world created by this bitch...
Because of An Tianyu, although Qiqige trusted Xiao Ruolan very much, she obviously could not tell Xiao Ruolan these words. It is better to be safe than sorry. In Yijing, there were countless eyes staring at An Miaoyi, so she absolutely could not cause trouble for the lady.
An Miaoyi still felt guilty towards her brother for asking the Coordination Office to directly take An Tianyu back. Therefore, when faced with her brother's request to bring his wife to Yijing, An Miaoyi tried her best to satisfy him. She personally met with Huo San and handed the matter over to him.
Huo San did not dare to be careless about what An Miaoyi, the mother, had told him. He immediately mobilized the secret line in Luoan and brought Xiao Ruolan to the territory of Fengwu Army to reunite with An Tianyu. When Xiao Ruolan came to the vicinity of Yijing, An Miaoyi specially arranged for Qiqige to pick her up with a carriage.
The carriage drove for a while and stopped at the gate of the courtyard that An Miaoyi had prepared for An Tianyu. At this time, An Tianyu Yijing was standing at the gate looking forward to it. When he saw Xiao Ruolan getting off the carriage, he immediately stepped forward and asked enthusiastically:
"My lady, you must have had a hard time along the way, right?"
Facing An Tianyu's question, Xiao Ruolan shook her head gently and said:
"The people my sister arranged took good care of me along the way!"
Looking at the young couple, Qiqige didn't want to be a light bulb, so she immediately said:
"Ruolan, you should go back to your room and have a rest first. There are a lot of things to do in the Governor's Mansion today, and Madam cannot spare the time for now. She can only come to see you in a few days. If you need anything here, just tell Madam Chen. She is Madam's close friend and very reliable..."
Xiao Ruolan nodded and said to Qiqige sincerely:
"Please help me tell my sister that Ruolan is very grateful to her for bringing me to Yijing to meet my husband!"
Listening to Xiao Ruolan's words, Qiqige nodded slightly and said, "I'll pass on your words!"
After saying that, Qiqige returned to the carriage and drove away. Xiao Ruolan did not return immediately, but watched the carriage leave until the carriage went away and turned into a small black dot. Only then did Xiao Ruolan walk into the yard with An Tianyu.
Half an hour later, Qiqige returned to the Governor's Mansion. She walked into the room and saw An Miaoyi leaning on the armchair with her eyes closed. Two little maids were surrounding her, one massaging An Miaoyi's legs and the other massaging her shoulders.
Seeing An Miaoyi like this, although she didn't know what happened, seeing An Miaoyi like this, Qiqige guessed that An Miaoyi was in a bad mood. She immediately found a few incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner. As the fragrance wafted out, An Miaoyi's expression gradually relaxed. She opened her eyes and asked:
"Is Qiqige back?"
"Yeah!" Qiqige responded softly:
"This golden incense costs one ounce of silver per stick, so use it sparingly!" An Miaoyi gently reminded him.
Qiqige gently massaged An Miaoyi's head, admonishing her with some distress:
“Madam, I bought this incense for you. You have to be nicer to yourself. Otherwise, the money you saved would be wasted by the Marshal on that little witch…”
An Miaoyi smiled and shook her head when she heard that, and then she also enjoyed the loud fragrance. This golden silk incense was a top-grade incense candle developed by the Second Manufacturing Bureau. The fragrance was light and soft, but also had a special fragrance. It had a strong calming effect. When An Miaoyi was upset, she liked to light one to calm her mind.
As soon as this kind of incense and candle was launched by the Dadongsheng Company, it was very popular in the market. Even though the price was three taels of silver per stick, it was only restocked once every half a month and sold out in three days. Of course, as the mistress of the Fengwu Army, she naturally did not need to go to the Dadongsheng Company to buy it.
Originally, Su Junjie, the director of the Second Manufacturing Bureau, saw that An Miaoyi liked it, so he brought a hundred cigarettes to present to her that day. However, in order to avoid criticism, An Miaoyi refused and bought them from the Second Manufacturing Bureau at the cost price of one tael of silver per cigarette.
During this period of fighting on the front line, An Miaoyi, in order to respond to the call for thrift and diligence from the governor, dismissed dozens of maids and old women in the governor's office. Then she set an example by cutting her own salary and used the saved money to support the war on the front line. Although this incident earned An Miaoyi a good reputation, it undoubtedly also reduced An Miaoyi's living standard, and she used less of the one or two taels of silver per stick of golden incense.
"Oh, if only Bai Yuanyuan and those two little girls were as sensible as you, Qiqige!"
Not knowing what she was thinking of, An Miaoyi suddenly sighed and said:
Qiqige couldn't help but say after hearing this:
“Isn’t today the day for everyone to pay their respects to the old lady? How dare they quarrel in front of the old lady? They are so bold…”
"Seeing that everyone is looking forward to it, I will present my last draft. It was originally only 1,700 words, but I took the opportunity to go to the toilet and typed 300 words on my phone to make up for 2,000 words. I hope you will like it!"
