98 Chapter 98

Chonglan saw that she was gentle and shy, not as arrogant and arrogant as ordinary ladies, but a little bit of the lightness of a small jasper, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang is polite, we should apologize to you, the old man is old, it is inevitable to talk a lot, and I hope you don't mind." ”

Mrs. Zhang replied with a smile: "Where is it, the old lady is kind, I am inevitably a little flattered." ”

After she finished speaking, she made time to take a closer look at Chonglan, and saw that she had a gorgeous complexion, a smile and a smile that were all kinds of amorous, and what was even more rare was that her eyes were clear, her behavior was decent, and she had a demeanor like Yan He, and there was no loss of color when she stood in one place with such a gorgeous character.

She praised it from the bottom of her heart: "I have long heard that Governor Yan's wife is extremely beautiful and beautiful, and she is a rare beauty in Jinling. ”

Chonglan's face was slightly red: "I can't do anything about my little family, and if the second young lady praises me again, I won't have the face to see people." ”

Second Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and smiled: "Your wife and wife call me, you don't have to call me old, my name is like a brocade, if you don't dislike it, call me by my name." ”

Chonglan hurriedly said: "I have one word Lan, you can call me Ah Lan." ”

Before they got married, they were lowly families, one married the governor of a province, and the other married into the first family of the Qi Dynasty.

Chonglan heard her say that she and her eldest sister-in-law Princess Changping interesting story, the wealthy family in Beijing is only a lot more than Jinling, He is like an orphan girl, only married into the town of the country when she began to entertain the daughters of the family was not less crowded, what to say unpleasant things, some people say that she climbed high branches into the town of the country, and some people laughed at her for not being polite, and even the official words were not good.

Fortunately, she has a husband to cherish, and her sister-in-law, Princess Changping, protects her with all her might, and those who dare to chew the root of her tongue are reprimanded by her face, and she also takes her to teach carefully when she takes care of family affairs, so that she can cope with it freely.

Moreover, the population of the town is simple, the family style is orderly, the mother-in-law and grandmother are kind and generous, and the father-in-law is fair and strict, and no one looks down on her because of her humble background, but sees that she is young and compassionate.

Chonglan listened and listened, and couldn't help but envy her good fortune: "The Zhenguo Mansion is not the first family of the Qi Dynasty, so forgiving and wise, no wonder it can prosper for a hundred years." ”

She sighed in her heart as she spoke, this is the legendary in-laws of others, thinking about Qi Guofu, thinking about Mrs. Yan and those uncles and aunts, thinking about it makes her heart panic. ”

He Bijin had also heard about the affairs of Qi Guofu, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I heard that Governor Yan spoils you very much, and before you got married, he promised you that you can only take a concubine if you are over forty years old and have no children, and specially invited two ceremonial officials from the Ministry of Rites to hire you, and would rather contradict the elders than marry you, this is already a great blessing, how can there be the best of both worlds in the world?" ”

Chonglan glanced at Yan He, blushed and said, "It's all falsehood, how can it be so exaggerated." ”

He Bijin was still about to speak, so he heard the people who greeted the guests outside singing loudly: "Mrs. Wei Taifu has arrived." ”

Immediately after that, a lady with a group of faces walked in, followed by a girl dressed in azure.

Originally, according to the door of Qi Guofu, it was impossible to invite so many distinguished guests, but the nobles looked at Yan He's face, even if they didn't come, they sent their family members over, Yan He has already achieved the position of governor at a young age, and his future future is definitely unlimited, anyway, there is nothing to lose by coming to a wedding banquet, and it is beneficial to make friends with such characters.

Mrs. Wei is notoriously solemn and rigorous, and even the saints are afraid of three points, but Mrs. Wei has a kind face, and she smiles when she sees people, and she is kind and kind to everyone.

However, the girl behind Mrs. Wei was even more eye-catching, she was tall, taller than many of the men present, dressed casually and plainly, wearing only an azure gown, and no extra decoration.

She was neither pretty, nor very beautiful, but she had a strange style, and her expression was indifferent and arrogant, and when she came in, she found a random corner and stood, with her hands in her sleeves, and she did not smile or speak.

He Rujin whispered to Chonglan: "Mrs. Wei's mother's house is in Jinling, and she recently went back to visit her mother's house. She quietly pointed to the indifferent and simple girl who was dressed indifferently, and said softly: "That's Mrs. Wei's youngest daughter, Wei Siniang." ”

Wei Siniang quietly followed behind Mrs. Wei, indifferent to the gazes of others, neither resisting nor enjoying, walking like the wind and sitting like a clock, her back was straight, and she didn't look like a delicate boudoir girl.

Chonglan couldn't help but be amazed in her heart, she really wanted to pull Liu Yuan over to see what it meant to be really noble and vulgar.

No matter how indifferent Liu Yuan is on her face, she can also see that she enjoys being held by the stars like the moon, and to put it bluntly, she is selling her reputation and reputation.

This Wei girl is much more deserted, no matter how flattering you are, she only cares about herself and keeps a cold face.

Probably because you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night, Chonglan just finished thinking about Liu Yuan, and the ceremonial official who sang outside sang loudly - Uncle Liu's wife is here.

Mrs. Liu's uncle was dressed in a purple and red gown, with Zhaojun wiping her forehead on her head, and came in with a cane, smiling affectionately, and as soon as she came in, she went straight to Mrs. Yan's side.

Liu Yuan is still the same, with graceful steps, walking like a light smoke like a willow, but the clothes on her body...

Chonglan saw that she was also wearing a rose-red gown, and at a glance, it was six or seven points similar to the one on her own - she couldn't help but choke on the tea and coughed, this Liu Yuan and herself are also evil.

She was just laughing, and she saw someone in front of her calling, saying that Mrs. Yan had invited her over. She thought about it, where is Aunt Yan anyway, today is her precious son's wedding banquet, and Chonglan is not afraid that she will find trouble at this time.

She thought for a moment and walked forward, and just as she was about to salute, she heard the voice of Mrs. Liu: "Your granddaughter-in-law is really a busy person, she hasn't seen anyone for a long time, and the elders are still here, why don't you see her by her side to serve and help Zhang Luo's guests, but she ran to the side to hide and relax." ”

Chonglan was surprised: "I can't understand what my uncle and grandmother are saying, aren't I a busy person who can't see a shadow for a long time?" Why are I hiding again, am I too busy or too idle? ”

Aunt Yan couldn't hold back a smile, and Old Madam Liu's hand holding the armrest tightened suddenly: "You dare to talk to the elders like this?!" ”

Chonglan's face became more and more puzzled: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are stupid, I can't understand what you are talking and I asked a few more words, why are you so annoyed?" ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't care how ugly Mrs. Liu's face was, turned her head to Mrs. Yan and smiled: "Just now, the second young lady of the Zhang family pulled her granddaughter-in-law and talked for a while, and the granddaughter-in-law didn't care about this, and I hope that grandmother won't be surprised." ”

Old Madam Yan didn't expect her to become friends with Zhenguo Mansion so quickly, so she weighed it for a moment in her heart, and said to her: "You did a good job, you should put the guests first." ”

Seeing that she didn't help herself, Mrs. Liu had no reason to find fault, so she could only shut up stupidly.

Aunt Yan saw that she was still standing in the same place, so she stepped forward and pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "You are about the same age as the second young lady of the Zhang family, so naturally you can talk a lot, and the second young lady is also easy-going, so you should have more dealings with her in the future." ”

Chonglan responded with a smile, and Liu Yuan, who was behind Old Madam Liu, saw that she was similar to herself again, so she couldn't help but pull the handkerchief in her hand hard, and said indifferently: "The young lady is really good at dancing with long sleeves, and she is exquisite in all directions, and she has met many nobles in a while." ”

She felt that she was not as good as Chonglan last time because she was wearing too plain clothes, but this time she simply did the opposite, changed her bright service, painted exquisite makeup, and carefully selected jewelry.

Chonglan said lazily: "Where, it can't compare to Miss Liu's ability to chant poetry, but you can only communicate with people by being enthusiastic about others." Anyway, she was about to tear her face, and she didn't bother to save face for Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan's pink lips were pursed into a line, and the center of her eyebrows contributed to the word 'Chuan', and suddenly her brows loosened, and she said generously: "When I came back from the grievances of the He family's other courtyard, I was angry for a while, I said something inappropriate, and the elders in the family cherished it, and also passed the words to the left, I only hope that I can reconcile with the young lady on this, and we can still be relatives with the amiable in the future." ”

It seems that this is also a person who is used to saying beautiful things, and he is frank and upright in his words, but what does it mean to be wronged? Who wronged her, and it wasn't her own demon?

Chonglan just snorted, raised his hand to play with the tea cup in his hand and said nothing.

Old Madam Liu's face was a little unbearable, her fingers with diamond rings knocked on the table, and said casually: "Yuan'er is generous, it's not stingy to come to your nephew and daughter-in-law, you just make a tea gift to Yuan'er, and we won't go over this matter." ”

She turned to Old Madam Yan: "What do you think?" ”

Aunt Yan said angrily: "My aunt is too ridiculous, and my nephew and daughter-in-law have done nothing wrong, so why should I give Yuan'er a tea ceremony?!" ”

Chonglan didn't wait for Mrs. Yan to answer, and sneered directly: "It's okay to let me make a tea ceremony, but I have to let me know what mistakes I made that day, since my uncle and grandmother feel that I was wrong, it just so happens that Princess Cheng'an and several ladies were outside that day, let's invite them in and talk about it to see whose fault it is." ”

She got up directly and instructed Qingge: "Go, invite all the ladies over and see what happened that day." ”

She glanced coldly at the panicked Old Lady Liu: "Uncle and grandmother should always know that Mrs. Erpin's tea is not so delicious." ”

In fact, she has always liked to bring out the identity of Mrs. Erpin to oppress people, but some people are too deceitful, and they can do whatever they want by relying on their high age.

Old Madam Liu didn't expect her to be so tough, and she was a little flustered for a while, so she hurriedly got up and said, "How dare you treat your elders like this?" ”

At this time, he was still thinking about putting up a shelf for his elders, but the anger in Chonglan's heart was not revealed, and he got up with a smile: "It's just that I feel sorry for the elders, so I can't bear to let you be deceived like this." ”

Old Madam Yan was also startled, hurriedly ordered someone to stop Qingge, turned her head to Chonglan and said: "Your uncle and grandmother have such a temper, and they are unforgiving, but they are actually the most soft-hearted, and you are too serious about this child." ”

Seeing Chonglan's toughness, she didn't dare to say anything about her, and she couldn't help but complain a little about Mrs. Liu in her heart, and said unhappily: "You just said that you just asked your brother and daughter-in-law to come in to meet, what are you doing with guns and sticks like this?" It's just that the grandchildren have a few words, and you join in and be careful to make people see the joke. ”

Chonglan gave Qingge a look, asked her to come back, and added slowly: "Besides, there are so many guests outside, if something happens, wouldn't the marriage between my father-in-law and the county lord be ugly?" ”

She lightly pushed all the mistakes on Mrs. Liu, and sure enough, Mrs. Yan was even more displeased after hearing it, and she felt afraid when she thought about it, and said angrily: "You know that you are thinking about marrying the county lord three times today, and you still pick this time to attack, what do you have in mind?!" ”

When Mrs. Liu saw that she had always said such heavy words to her sister-in-law, she was stunned by the scolding for a while, and she couldn't speak with her mouth open.

Mrs. Yan was worried that her son was in a hurry, and after speaking, she also felt that she was over, and coughed uncomfortably, Aunt Yan saw that Mrs. Liu was deflated, and she felt very happy, this aunt and grandmother usually gave her mother a lot of bad ideas.

Chonglan didn't bother to pay attention to these, got up and said, "Since grandmother is fine, then the granddaughter-in-law will retire first." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and after a while, Aunt Yan also followed: "You still have the ability, she doesn't listen to my grandmother no matter how much I usually persuade you, and she is determined to listen to her aunt." ”

Old Mrs. Yan herself is full of problems, and she doesn't know how to know people, but these words are not good for Chonglan to say in front of Aunt Yan, so she just smiled: "The old man can't help but persuade more." ”

Aunt Yan sighed, the two waited together for a while, and the greeting finally came back, Chonglan stood in the crowd and looked at it, the lord of Qinghe County was covered with a Xipa, and he couldn't see anything on his face, but his lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully.

The county lord of Qinghe should have had three or four months of this birth, and they all said that she was pregnant in October, and it was still a trouble for her to give birth at that time, and if she was not careful, she would be known to be an adulterous child.

The newcomer was sent into the cave room, and the banquet could finally be held outside, Chonglan sat on the women's seat, but she was worried about Yan He outside, so she simply ordered Qingyun to inquire about the situation.

Qingyun turned back after a while, and said in a low voice: "The young master is nothing, he only talks to the eldest young master of the He family, but our eldest young master was persuaded to drink a few glasses of wine, and now he seems to be drunk, just got up and staggered out, and no one followed." ”

Big brother drunk? Chonglan remembered that Chongyan's wine was really not very good, so he hurriedly ordered: "You hurry up and order someone to follow him, there are many pools in the house, be careful not to let him fall in." ”

She waited for a while and still felt uneasy, she dared to sue someone and went out to find Chonglan, she didn't want to scream loudly, so she had to take Qingge all the way to watch it, the two stopped and stopped to the peach orchard behind, and vaguely heard someone's voice coming out.

“... B, Brother B, I haven't seen you in a few days. Have you been busy lately? ”

It turned out to be Yan Ru's voice, Chong Lan was startled, and heard a male voice coming after her: "Miss Yan still call me by my name, I'm not used to you calling me that." ”

Yan Ru's voice was a little disappointed: "Yes, Jiang, General Jiang." ”

Jiang Yi hummed, turned around and said, "If Miss Yan is fine, I'll leave first." ”

Yan Ru couldn't be reserved, and raised his hand to pull his sleeve: "I ordered someone to pass on the word to you... You didn't even reply to me. ”

Jiang Yi's voice was cold: "Miss, do you remember what I asked you to say?" You don't have to talk about all that nonsense. ”

Chonglan heard Jiang Yi's voice, and originally planned to turn around and leave directly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but pause, what did Jiang Yi ask Yan Ru to say?

Yan Ru's voice was a little muffled, with some pleading: "There has been no movement in the house recently, everyone is busy with the second uncle's marriage..."

Jiang Yi didn't expect her to spread anything, and when she heard this, she lowered her eyes and looked at her hand: "Since that's the case, Miss and I have nothing to say." ”

He turned around and left, mercilessly, Yan Ru looked at him indignantly and aggrieved in place, tears rolled in his eyes, but he still endured it, stomped his feet on the spot, twisted his body and ran away.

Jiang Yi walked on Chonglan's side, she hurriedly turned around and left, accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, making a crisp 'click' sound, her heart was cold, and she was about to run out, but she was wrapped in an elegant aroma.

"Little villain, what do you see me running?"

Chonglan was trapped by his arms on the tree, Qingge was full of astonishment, and he was worried about Chonglan's reputation, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and swallowed back the exclamation, looking at the two of them in panic.

Chonglan suppressed the disgust in her heart, frowned, and said, "The general is self-respecting, don't force me to call people." ”

Qingge took a few steps forward to block her: "Our young lady still has something to do, please get out of the way quickly." ”

Jiang Yi looked at it with a gloomy look, stretched out his hand to strangle Qingge's neck, and exerted himself slightly: "Noise." ”

Qingge's face turned red, Chonglan pushed his arm hard, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The general wants to kill my maidservant in my mansion, is there still a royal law in his eyes?!" ”

"I won't kill her, you tell her to get away." He looked down and smiled.

Of course Qingge didn't leave, still standing straight in front of her, but Chonglan knew that Jiang Yi said that if he wanted to kill Qingge, he would definitely do what he said, so she pushed Qingge away: "You go farther, don't let people come." ”

She wanted to say that she would call Yan He over, but she was afraid that Jiang Yi, a brute, would attack Qingge, so she had to swallow the second half of the sentence back.

She turned to Jiang Yi and said indifferently, "Is there anything the general wants to say?" ”

Jiang Yi looked at her face carefully, charming and beautiful even better than in the past, a red lotus in the center of her eyebrows showed that she was radiant, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he reached out and pointed at her eyebrows: "This is what he helped you draw?" ”

She turned her head sideways to avoid his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with the general, so I am inconvenient to answer." ”

He lowered his eyes and smiled, delicate and handsome: "It's a pity." ”

Chong Lan coldly raised his eyelids and stared at him, he continued to smile: "The children of the clan can't marry a widow as the main family, so they can only wronged you. ”

He raised his hand to caress her face, and his smile was a little gentle and innocent: "But I will build the best golden house to hide you, dress you in the best clothes, eat the best food, and in a place where no one can find you, you will never be able to get out, so you can only stay by my side and accompany me." ”

Chonglan was horrified by his strange tone, and looked at him coldly: "What do you want to do?" ”

He whispered down and wanted to ask her, but she avoided her with a look of disgust, and the corner of his left mouth picked: "I want to do it. You. ”

The tone was so natural, as if he didn't realize how vile and dirty his words were.

Chonglan's white face quickly turned red because of anger, and his eyes widened and he said hatefully: "Get out, otherwise I will have someone shoot you if I don't want to be famous!" ”

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Then we can die together?" ”

Chong Lan sneered and looked at him: "The only person who can die with me is my husband, even if I have no bones and a separate body, I will not die with you." The words are like swearing again.

Jiang Yi smiled deeply: "There are no absolutes in everything. After saying that, he let go of his arm and let her escape, it was a surprise to see her today.

Chonglan ran out in a panic with her skirt in a hurry, and as soon as she got out of the garden, she bumped into Qingge who ran towards her, she opened her mouth to ask, but she waved her hand to stop, and the two slowed down and returned to the main hall.

She held Qingge's hand and slowly sat in place, only to find that her body was soaked in cold sweat.

......

Wei Siniang was very annoying, she felt really annoying.

If it weren't for Mrs. Wei's threat that she would not be allowed to use the knife for a year if she didn't come today, she would definitely not have come over today to participate in this inexplicable wedding banquet in her opinion.

Who is Qi Guogong? Who is the county lord of Qinghe? Why do a widower and a widow have a feast to celebrate? Why was she forced to come to the banquet to say goodbye when she didn't know these two people?

In her opinion, the banquet should be to eat when she comes, and leave when she is done, instead of being pulled by a group of women to ask questions, from the silk flowers on her head to the socks stuffed in her shoes, and even the earrings she accidentally brought the wrong were praised for her personality.

So she walked out without moving a few chopsticks, and dragged a subordinate over, wanting to go to a clean place to stay until the wedding banquet was over. She didn't ask for anything, just two words - pure.

The servant listened to her request, and simply led her to a hidden pool, and she walked back and forth a few times, and saw that there was no one, and her heart was greatly satisfied.

She was about to find a suitable place to take a nap, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard a burst of intermittent retching coming over.

She got up and looked for it, and after a while, she saw a man leaning on the Taihu Lake stone, stroking his chest and bending over, with a thin smell of wine on his body.

This person leaned on the Taihu Lake stone and raised his head, and he was very handsome, and he was inclined to be bewitching.

Chongyan raised his head, and saw Wei Siniang in a green dress and a green skirt, dressed simply, thinking that she was a maid in the house, and stretched out his hand and ordered: "Help me up, and bring me the decanting soup after cooking." ”

Wei Siniang glanced at him coldly, turned around to leave, Chongyan was very drunk, and subconsciously followed a few steps forward, staggering and almost falling into her arms, but she avoided it in a flash.

He opened his mouth, and at this time he didn't forget to make a big sense, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates of the Qi State Mansion are so ignorant of the rules? ”

Wei Siniang glanced at him expressionlessly, her lips moving slightly. Chongyan had a headache and was about to crack, and in a blur, he vaguely heard her say four words:

"Get out of the way."
