Chapter 242: Stargazing Academy
Xu Yuanniang moved her lips, but she didn't say anything after all, she was new to the school, and she hadn't gained a firm foothold in the Qiu family, not to mention this Qiu Yanran
The coachman named Lin Er was also clever, and soon came back with the news: "Girl, Pan Shizi and they went to Meizhuang, and the Yin family sisters and brothers went to the gate to greet them in person." Oh, by the way, the carriage was Pan Shizi's own sister-in-law, as if it meant that Miss Pan was going to live in Meizhuang for a few days. ”
"What?" Qiu Yanran exhaled directly, and then lowered her voice consciously, "The fifth girl Pan lives in Meizhuang? why?" Ming Shizi only has one sister, that is, Pan Shuling, the fifth girl of the Pan family. What is Pan Shuling's identity, even if for some reason she lives in Xujiabie Village with her brother Pan Jiaming and does not live in the post station, then she should live in the prefect's mansion or Li Shoubei's mansion, right?
Why? The coachman touched his head speechlessly, where did he know why the fifth girl Pan lived in Meizhuang? He already felt very proud to be able to find out the identity of the fifth girl Pan so quickly. Uh, no, he only knew that Pan Shizi's sister was sitting in the carriage, and as for the fifth girl, the fourth girl or something, he really didn't know, it was his own girl.
Xu Yuanniang was still leaning there with her eyes closed, looking indifferent, but she secretly pouted in her heart: It seems that this sister-in-law is really infatuated with the prince of England, or she is determined to win! She can't figure out how many dogs and cats the princess has raised, right? It's a pity, is she enough? What's the use of inquiring clearly? No, it should be said that she is not qualified to go at all, because she has already made a marriage, okay? The woman who has been married is always thinking about climbing the high branches. It's really enough.
Merchant girl, merchant girl, even the daughter of a merchant family like their Xu family can't do such a thing, so why don't you return the family affairs first? Hmph, what kind of mother has what kind of daughter, the Ji family can collude with mountain bandits to rob Meizhuang, and it is not surprising that Qiu Yanran, who was born and raised, would be so impatient to slap Ming Shizi.
Xu Yuanniang's disdain in her heart, coupled with the anger and grievances she had held in her heart for several days towards Ji's mother and daughter, made her snort coldly unconsciously.
It's not loud, but it's too close. Qiu Yanran still heard it clearly. was about to scold a few words, but the gaze cast over just caught the contempt on Xu Yuanniang's face that he didn't have time to hide. The naked contempt immediately poured a basin of cold water on Qiu Yanran, who was pouring on Pan Jiaming, which made her sober up instantly, but she forgot to reprimand Xu Yuanniang.
Although Xu Yuanniang is a businesswoman. But the Xu family also took great pains to cultivate this eldest daughter. Since Xu Yuanniang was very young, she spent a lot of money to find a well-known upbringing mother and female husband from Beijing to teach. Therefore, Xu Yuanniang's words and deeds, etiquette and bearing are no worse than those of official girls. It is precisely because of this that the old marquis of Qiu will choose the Xu family as his eldest daughter-in-law, and Qiu Yiran will agree.
About these. Qiu Yanran and Ji's both know that they keep saying "merchant girl" and "no rules" just to suppress the Xu family and suppress the long house.
Xu's hum at this moment, if it was before the horse, Qiu Yanran might not feel anything, but it was enough to make Qiu Yanran realize her own gaffe, she was too careless, and let Xu catch the handle. Although she doesn't have a good reputation now, it is mainly because she is affected by her mother's reputation, and today's words and deeds fall in Xu's eyes and ears, and if she accidentally spreads, she is willing to be only a concubine, and the British government may not allow her to enter the door.
No, whether it is a threat or a coax, it is good to use both soft and hard, in short, she must not let Xu and her maid go out and say something that should not be said and ruin her reputation.
"Hmph, what?" Qiu Yanran has always believed in the power of taking the lead and hitting a rake, "No matter what, our Qiu family and the Yin family are also world friends, they are ruthless, so we have to be unrighteous and can we be indifferent? It is said that when Ming Shizi's father Pan Rubing was alive, he still had a little relationship with Yin Zhao, but at that time Yin Zhao was at the border, and later Yin Zhao returned to Beijing, but unfortunately Pan Rubing died unexpectedly.
Xu Yuanniang smiled faintly, and responded to it, but Baoyue was not as calm as her master, but fortunately, she had followed Xu Yuanniang since she was a child, and she also remembered a lot of rules that her mother said, and did not directly contradict Qiu Yanran, but put on a blank look, opened her eyes and asked: "But, if the Yin family is really in trouble, how can that Pan Wu girl live in Meizhuang?"
Qiu Yanran pursed her lips: "So, the first worry should be gone now." However, Miss Pan Wu is the only sister of Ming Shizi, and the queen's favorite little niece, if anything goes wrong, it will be a disaster for Meizhuang. Don't look at me so much, my father and eldest brother know about those important families in the capital, and the last time I participated in the Jockey Club, my father told me a few things, including the situation of the British government. People like us, there are many things that we still have to pay attention to, otherwise we don't know when we say the wrong thing or offend people, and we may accidentally affect the whole family. ”
Qiu Yanran reprimanded righteously in one breath, and suddenly felt that her previous weakness was ridiculous, wasn't she justifiable? What is there to worry about? In her previous life, she was too careless and didn't think much about the old witch's behavior and attitude that was different from ordinary people, but in this life, she was too cautious and thought too much!
"Okay, let's go home," Qiu Yanran's heart was certain, and arrogance appeared on her face again, "What's the use of me telling you this?" I really want to go back and talk to my father and mother about this matter quickly, Meizhuang already has the support of King Jing and Governor Lin, and Tie Muyuan to help with it, if you add the British Mansion, or even the Queen Mother behind the British Mansion, wouldn't it be ......?
If Yin Zhi in this life is not the concubine of their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, let alone as cowardly and easy to handle in the previous life, the better the Yin family, the more embarrassed their Qiu family will be, and the more they will become a joke in the eyes of the world.
"Let's go back," Xu Yuanniang still said lightly, and the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.
Maybe it was because there was still an aftermath of the previous weakness of heart, Xu Yuanniang's indifferent response turned into disapproval and contempt in Qiu Yanran's eyes, but she took a deep breath, and finally restrained herself from angering Xu again, after all, she just grabbed the handle, didn't she?
Zhiruo in Meizhuang naturally didn't know that someone was inexplicably worried about their sister and brother at this time, she was smiling and watching the two beautiful little girls talking happily.
Pan Shuling looks like a shy but very atmospheric little girl, with a pair of eyes that are particularly aura, and her smile is as warm and clean as the sun. Pan Jiaming's brother and sister are both upper-class in appearance, but at most they are only two points alike, one should be more like their father and the other like their mother.
Yin Zhixuan and Pan Shuling met for the first time, but both of them had a feeling of great familiarity and even sympathy, especially after Pan Shuling saw the beads on Zhixuan's bun and the shining gilt and silver bells on Bai Xue's neck.
"Sister Xuan'er," Pan Shuling asked affectionately, "Bai Xue has grown up a lot, right?" Fortunately, when I asked people to order the bell, I asked my father-in-law in the palace who was in charge of raising mastiffs, and I specially set the current size. "The emperor likes to hunt, and prefers to use the spring and autumn hunts at least twice a year to get closer to important courtiers, so there are people in the palace who are specifically responsible for raising large dogs that assist in hunting, such as mastiffs and wolf dogs.
"Yes," Zhixuan just liked this young lady who had just met for no reason, and gestured excitedly, "Bai Xue grows very fast, Sister Ling'er, you don't know, Bai Xue was only so big when it arrived at our house, and now I can't pull it." Bai Xue, hurry up and say hello to Sister Ling'er, don't you like the bell that Sister Ling'er gave you?
What made Pan Shuling so happy was that Bai Xue seemed to understand Yin Zhixuan's words, and really wagged her tail happily at her, and even walked over and rubbed her leg twice with her big head.
She happily stroked Bai Xue's head and neck, and said with a smile: "My brother is right, Bai Xue is really smart, Sister Xuan'er, I brought gifts for you and Bai Xue, as soon as my aunt said that she was going to send me to Los Angeles, I began to prepare, and I prepared it earlier than the gift I brought to my brother." "Her brother is so amazing, she has long said that she will definitely like Xuan'er's sister as a friend, no, the first time she saw Xuan'er and Bai Xue, she felt like an old friend who had known her for many years.
Speaking of gifts, the two little girls who met late almost forgot that there were so many people around them, and they were about to go to see the gifts while holding their little hands.
"Eldest sister," Zhixuan remembered something, and looked at Zhiruo with a pleading face, "Is it okay to let Sister Ling'er live in the Twisted Plum Courtyard?" The Stargazing Courtyard is so far away, it is inconvenient for Sister Ling'er to play with me and Bai Xue. Or, Bai Xue and I will also go to the stargazing courtyard to accompany Sister Ling'er?" "The two newly built guest houses, one is masculine decoration, the other is for female guests, and the stargazing courtyard is the female guest house, although it is not big, but it is very exquisite, because to welcome Pan Shuling, a little distinguished guest, Zhiruo deliberately added a lot of decorations that little girls like.
"How far is it? Isn't there a glass carriage? Where is it so inconvenient?" Zhiruo shook his head amusedly, and was still a little surprised, the little sister who loved her with all her heart had a young lady who had only met for a quarter of an hour, so she didn't want her to be the eldest sister? What a little conscience! (To be continued......
PS: I decided to go out temporarily, I'm sorry for not asking for leave these days! I went to Kunming, an old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed a kind of Chinese herbal dressing, hoping that it could really have an effect on my fart neuralgia, the doctor said that the fart pain has nothing to do with my spine, but it was useless to do acupuncture for a long time, so I could only try the plaster. This chapter will be pasted first, and there will be insects to catch it tomorrow morning.
