After half an hour, it is the last round. The female relatives need to take off an earring as a token, while the man has to put on a folding fan with a mark. At that time, Mrs. Yongming Hou can make a pair for everyone. Son, men and women are in the same group, and the winner will receive the jackpot awarded by Concubine Guo.
Mrs. Yongming Hou deliberately found Qiu Min and Liang Yi's token, and arranged for the two to compete in the same group, but Qiu Yan heard that others were gossiping about Guo Guifei's proposal to marry Wei Yuanhou, I am afraid this meeting was intended to refer to marriage. Qiu Yan guessed Liang Yi's thoughts, so they exchanged earrings with Qiu Min, and warned Liang Yi not to hit her sister's ideas.
Although Wei Yuanhou was slightly inferior to the British Duke, there were many brothers in the Qin family, and Qin Xuan was not the eldest son, so Liang Yi suggested that Qiu Yan might as well marry himself instead of trying to climb up the Qin family's relationship. Qiu Yan completely ignored this, and even interfered with Liang Yi several times in order to let Qin Xuan win.
Originally, Qin Xuan was a little unhappy because of the affairs of the same group, but when he found out that Qiu Yan was helping him everywhere, his mood improved, and there was a smile on his face. It's a pity that Qiu Min's football skills are not good, and Liang Yi has always been used to preserving his strength in front of everyone. When the real contest, he used his unique trick to win the championship.
Qin Xuan accepted the gamble and surrendered, but only emotionally, he insisted that he and Qiu Yan had the same heart. Liang Yi and Qiu Yan disliked each other, and at the same time had to pretend to get along well. After receiving the first prize from Concubine Guo Gui, everyone rushed to Yongming Hou's mansion to attend the flower viewing banquet. Qiu Yan took the opportunity to inform Qiu Min about the marriage and told her to stay away from Liang Yi.
In fact, from Qiu Yan's point of view, Liang Yi had never had contact with Qiu Min, and the reason why she suddenly fell in love with her must be the clear flow of the Qiu family. Although Qiu Yi's official position is not high, he has a lot of friends. If he can marry the Qiu family, it will not be conspicuous, and it will be of great benefit to him in the future. Moreover, Qiu Min's temperament is soft, which is easier for Liang Yi to control.
Qiu Min noticed that Qiu Yan seemed to have thoughts on Qin Xuan, and couldn't help asking curiously. Sure enough, Qiu Yan frankly admitted that she didn't like it, and at most had a good impression, but through today's events, she had a different sympathy. It was also because Qiu Yan expressed her thoughts simply and clearly, Qiu Min concealed her sadness, said her best wishes and left.
Mrs. Jifang and Aunt Kou were chatting in the side courtyard, and when they heard that Qiuyan had won the first prize at the conference, they were suddenly upset. The third lady Qian thought that a distant relative had made a fortune in business, and now she is adoring concubines everywhere, so she wanted to hit Qiu Yan with her idea. When the second lady Han went to Taiying Temple tomorrow to worship Buddha, they united to Mrs. Qiu suggested.
On the other side, Qiu Ying kept apologizing to Qiu Mei, saying that today's fault was entirely attributed to Qiu Yan, if she didn't do it on purpose, how could she accidentally hurt others. Qiu Mei felt that what Qiu Ying said was reasonable, and when she thought about it carefully, it was indeed Qiu Yan who was in the limelight, so the two conspired to design a frame up.
Qiu Ying deliberately seduced Meng Yu, the eldest son of Earl Yongyi's family, and gave him a handkerchief with the character "Yan", thereby destroying Qiu Yan's reputation everywhere and making outsiders think that she was a woman. Qin Xuan naturally knew that Qiu Yan was a human being and claimed that the handkerchief was a token that he had obtained from a famous actor in the theater. Just as Meng Yu was arguing, Liang Yi came forward to testify on Qin Xuan's behalf, and finally kept Qiu Yan's reputation. .
This matter came to Qiu Yan's ears, but when she hurriedly searched for it, Qin Xuan and others were nowhere to be found, but instead, Liang Yi tricked her to the lake in the suburbs. Despite the beautiful scenery, the two of them cruised the lake in the same boat, but Qiu Yan had no intention of it at all. Liang Yi warned Qiu Yan to stop trying to plot against Qin Xuan, but Qiu Yan believed that the love between men and women in the world did not come naturally.
So Qiu Yan doesn't think there is anything wrong with what she's doing. She is just trying to survive in the cracks. If she doesn't seize the opportunity now, she will stay by the dying Boss Jia for the rest of her life, bound to the carved and painted mansion. Competing with groups of wives and concubines all day long for favor and flattery.
Although Liang Yi sees Qiu Yan as a person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, the world sees her as a broken flower and a willow who was divorced, only Qin Xuan treats her with sincerity. Qiu Yan believes that no matter who it is, she will have the same choice as her, and such a choice is not shameful, and she even asks Liang Yi whether it is not a plan for her sister Qiu Min.
When Qiu Yan hurried back to Yongming Hou's mansion, it was already night. Fortunately, Qin Xuan was still waiting for her in the garden and never left for a moment. Qin Xuan took Qiu Yan to enjoy the beautiful scenery, comforting her not to pay too much attention to those rumors, the night would fade away one day, and he would always be by his side.
Mrs. Han was about to leave the residence for Taiying Temple. Before leaving, she told Mother Dong, who was guarding the back door, that she would be responsible for delivering tokens for Qiu Yan and Qin Xuan. Since the two of them understood each other that night, and there were many correspondences, Qin Xuan knew that Qiu Yan liked koan novels, so he hand-written the content that had not been published, and Qiu Yan liked it very much.
Marquis Yongming returned from a trip and wanted to marry a woman from the capital for Qin Xuan, but Qin Xuan hurriedly declined, claiming that he had no intention of marrying, and took the initiative to apply to be transferred to the forbidden army camp in the suburbs of Beijing to serve in training. You don't have to worry about your parents getting in the way.
Liang Yi entered the palace to meet the emperor, and then presented various charges, and sued Xia Zhengji, the official of the household department, for embezzling hundreds of thousands of taels of public funds. The emperor was sluggish and not good at government affairs. He was obsessed with cultivating immortals and wearing pills every day. He was worried that he had no money to build immortal temples, so he immediately ordered the closure of the Xiafu, and the remaining money would be shared by Ren Juan, the relatives of the clan in Jingzong.
The news that homes were raided overnight at the firewood-picking place spread throughout the streets and alleys, causing panic among the people in the city. Mrs. Qiu instructed Mrs. Xu to take charge of the donation. Considering the recent floods and the poor harvest, she reminded all the houses to be as thrifty as possible. As for Qian's relatives wanting to take a concubine, Mrs. Qiu resolutely refused, and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Mi did not dare to say more.
