Chapter 105: Wishful Thinking
No matter how Qiu Ruolan complained that Duchess Lu Guo had eyes and did not know gold and jade, it could not change the fact that Duchess Lu Guo was more and more interested in seeing Qiu Ruyi.
After Qiu Ruolan was anxious for a few days, she had an idea in her heart again.
One day, Duchess Lu invited the Qiu sisters to enjoy the spring scenery in the garden of the Guogong Mansion.
At this time, although spring has already arrived, it should be the season of purple and red, but because the weather is warm and cold, the young grass and spring flowers in the world will tentatively stretch out their heads, faintly sparse layer, making people feel uncomfortable when they see it, and they can't give birth to the mind of appreciation.
However, the garden of the powerful house in the capital is different from ordinary people's homes, and at four times of the year, no matter whether it is cold or warm, there are scenes to enjoy.
The Qiu sisters looked at the spring scenery in the Lu Guogong Mansion and couldn't help but be envious.
Qiu Yujuan and Qiu Ruolan are not unusual, that is, they make a few praises and please the master's family.
Qiu Ruyi was amazed from the bottom of his heart.
A few days ago, Qiu Ruhai also said that because of the cold spring this year, there were only some flowers in the garden, which was not as lively as in previous years.
Just when Qiu Ruyi was wandering in front of a magnolia tree, Qiu Ruolan was accompanying Duchess Lu Guo to stand in front of a few Ruixiang flowers and laugh.
It turned out that Qiu Ruolan was listening attentively to the Duchess Lu Guo talking about the difference between the frangipani flowers in front of the Ruixiang flowers and the spring flowers.
Qiu Ruolan had long been tired of watching it in her previous life, but at this time, she had to compliment Duchess Lu Guo for being well-informed.
Duchess Lu Guo smiled and said: "I am just a parrot school, I have heard a few words from the gardeners, but you were born in the south since you were a child, and you have already seen it, so this is the difference between you and the flowers in the north and south." β
Qiu Ruolan smiled and said: "There are really a lot of flowers in the south here, but some have seen it, and some have only heard of it. β
Duchess Lu Guo had a little pride on her face, and said with a smile: "This is all Cheng'er Zhangluo." He studied abroad all the year round, and knew that I loved to enjoy some flowers and scenery, so whenever I saw some uncommon flowers and grasses outside, he moved them all, and because I was old, it was inconvenient to travel far, so he asked people to go to the south to get some good food to plant, which formed the landscape here today. β
Qiu Ruolan smiled and said: "The eldest son is so filial, Mrs. is really blessed, and Mrs. is kind and reasonable, so she can raise such a filial son." β
Duchess Lu Guo was extremely comfortable when she heard this, her eyebrows and eyes became more and more stretched, and she smiled: "It's not as tall as you said." He hasn't received an official title yet, he just reads every day, I'm really worried that he is stupid to read, he does these things, it can be regarded as a kind of life adjustment, and it's not a precious flower, but it's just a wild fun. β
Qiu Ruolan smiled and said, "I don't think it's the eldest prince's idle action. There are also many precious and rare flowers and trees here, which must have been bothered by the eldest prince. I remember last autumn, I happened to go to the Xishan Temple in Shunyang City with my sister Ruyi to make incense, and I met the eldest prince, it is said that I went there to ask the old monk for rare flowers and trees, so I was very respectful to the old monk, so it can be seen that every grass and tree here is arranged by the eldest prince with all his heart. If it weren't for filial piety, why would the eldest prince be so painstaking. β
It was originally Qiu Ruolan's praise of An Shicheng's filial piety, but Duchess Lu Guo heard a little unusual.
Duchess Lu Guo glanced around without a trace, and at this time, Qiu Ruyi and Qiu Yujuan were talking in the flower layer in the distance, and they didn't notice it at all.
Duchess Lu Guo stretched out her hand to play with the flowers in front of her, and said seemingly casually: "The rules in the temple are too loose, how can you let the male pilgrims who have never known your life meet everyone's wife and young lady at will? β
Qiu Ruolan smiled coquettishly: "What Madam said is that Ruolan wrote it down." β
Duchess Lu Guo said again: "I don't know if Cheng'er bumped into your two sisters that day, if there is any rudeness, I will be angry for your sisters." β
Qiu Ruolan hurriedly laughed and said, "This is not true. I was scared of the bad guys. Fortunately, Sister Ruyi recognized the eldest son, so although she also reprimanded the eldest prince, because of the relationship with your mansion, and the monks in the temple said that everyone was quite peaceful in this matter. β
Duchess Lu Guo glanced at Qiu Ruyi and smiled at Qiu Ruolan: "Although your sister is generous and doesn't care, but in the end, it is Cheng'er who is not stable in handling things and surprises your two sisters." I said, Ruyi, this girl came to the Guogong Mansion, why didn't she lean on me, it turned out that she was angry about this, the little girl's family, her temper is not small. β
Qiu Ruolan hurriedly explained: "Sister Ruyi is this cold temperament, she doesn't say anything about it, and she is an open-minded person, so she will never be angry with the government for this matter." And I heard later that the eldest prince had been in and out of Sister Ruyi's house several times after that, in order to learn how to raise flowers, so it can be seen that he was not angry. β
Duchess Lu Guo looked at Qiu Ruolan and hurriedly explained to Qiu Ruyi, and said with a smile: "Look at what you are panicking? I know that your sister Ruyi is a good one who doesn't like to hold grudges, and she is also a flower raiser, so I have to have a discussion with her when I have the opportunity." β
Qiu Ruolan smiled shyly: "It's all my poor handling of things, too much talk, like a woman in the market, if my sister Ruyi is misunderstood, I will really die with guilt." However, I didn't see Ruyi having a hobby of raising flowers, and she was a woman in the boudoir, so the eldest prince must discuss it with the elder brother of the Qiu family. β
Duchess Lu Guo looked at Qiu Ruolan and secretly wiped her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No matter how thoughtful she is, she is a little girl in the end, there will always be something she can't do, but she is always smart, and she can detect her gaffes in time, but when she is younger, this method of covering up will inevitably be a little naΓ―ve. Did she think that if she explained to Qiu Ruyi like this, she wouldn't be suspicious?
Although Duchess Lu Guo was still talking and laughing on her face, a raging fire was burning in her heart.
Before, she thought that Qiu Ruyi was self-aware, and knew that the chances of marrying into the Guogong Mansion were slim, so she had nothing to desire, she was neither humble nor arrogant in the Guogong Mansion, and she was not far from herself, but now it seems that she is a restless person, and she has long been involved with her son.
The screen incident that day may have been a message to his son in front of everyone.
It was in vain that they tried this here, observed that, and spent so much energy, but they hid it from themselves, and they had already hooked up together.
No wonder that the son provoked both Qiu Yujuan and Qiu Ruolan that day, it was really to the point, but he just picked a few flaws at random for Qiu Ruyi, and it didn't hurt or itch.
The more Duchess Lu thought about it, the more angry she became, not so much because of her unruliness, but because she was angry that she had raised a son who ate inside and out.
She couldn't imagine how her loyal and filial son could do such a thing, this daughter-in-law had not passed the door, and her mother was deceived by him.
It's not that Duchess Lu Guo doesn't believe in her son's character, it's that she is old, and she has seen too many men in the world who have been hooked by foxy women and lost their seven souls, so that they do all kinds of stupid things.
Although Duchess Lu Guo controlled the anger in her heart, she couldn't be as comfortable as usual, and her expression came out when she spoke.
Qiu Ruyi is also a little smart, although she talks to Qiu Yujuan, her eyes are not idle. After she and Mrs. Lu Guo laughed with Qiu Ruolan, the expression on Duchess Lu Guo's face was a little strange.
Qiu Ruyi paid attention, and sure enough, after a while, he felt that Duchess Lu Guo was much colder to her, and she was also alienated in her words and actions, and she lost the kindness and enthusiasm of this time.
The host's family is so hospitable, and the guests naturally have to have some eyes, because Qiu Ruyi is the eldest among the sisters, so he gave Qiu Yujuan and the two a look, and then the three sisters stood up and said goodbye to Duchess Lu Guo.
Duchess Lu Guo was old and respectable, so naturally she didn't have any reason to suppress her feelings in order to entertain a few girls, so she only said a few kind words, and sent someone to send her three sisters home.
The three Qiu Ruyi sisters sat in the same car, leaving only Xing'er to wait.
Qiu Ruyi glanced at Qiu Ruolan, who was casual, and couldn't help but say coldly: "I didn't expect that in this life, I would have the opportunity to see what a wolf-hearted and ungrateful person is." β
Qiu Yujuan knew that there must be a reason for the sudden change in the love of Duchess Lu Guo, and she had long suspected that Qiu Ruolan was secretly doing it, and when she saw Qiu Ruyi having a seizure at this time, she couldn't say anything, but reminded in a low voice: "There are people from the Guogong Mansion outside the car, let's go home and talk about it if there is anything, so as not to make people laugh." β
Qiu Ruyi listened, and saw that Qiu Ruolan was like no one, so she sneered: "What's wrong with the Guogong Mansion, am I still afraid that the reputation of the Guogong Mansion will be worse?"
Qiu Yujuan sighed: "In the end, it is outside, and it is always due to the bad reputation of the family when people hear it." β
Qiu Ruyi snorted, looked directly at Qiu Ruolan and scolded: "Tell me yourself, are you a wolf-hearted dog?" Since the day you and I met, I have loved you so much and protected you, and I will not hesitate to be a foil for your good reputation." You touch your conscience, I can't stand you? I love my sister so sincerely, why did I change your design everywhere?"
When Qiu Ruolan heard this, she looked at Qiu Ruyi and said in surprise: "How did you say this, what kind of evil did Sister Ruyi fall into, how can you say this about your sister?"
Qiu Ruyi sneered: "You don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, you dare to say, it's not your credit that Duchess Lu suddenly changed her face today? I really don't understand, where did I offend you, why do you have to practice me in stink, you and I are both members of the Qiu family, I stink, what benefits can you get?"
Qiu Yujuan sighed secretly in her heart, Qiu Ruyi may not have offended Qiu Ruolan, but who made her An Shicheng's wife in her previous life? )
