96 Chapter 96
Chonglan didn't get angry with him, but was teased by him once, turned his head and spat him with a red face, and said stiffly: "Where is it like, I don't look like it at all, don't be your good friend outside!" ”
He bowed his head thoughtfully: "What you said is that it is indeed not very similar, and there are too many clothes to wear." ”
Chonglan pointed at him angrily: "You, you... You're not ashamed! She blushed and pushed the painting to him, and then changed her head and said, "Don't talk about those who have or don't, I want to be a fan, how can I take it out if you paint it like this?!" ”
Yan He glanced at her: "Even if you want to go out and use this, I will stop you." He kissed the corner of her red lips: "The lady's style, I can appreciate it alone." ”
Chonglan blushed and took a bite on his jade white face: "Don't talk nonsense, don't think about eating if you can't say anything today!" ”
He looked at her with a smile: "I'll just eat you, why eat?" ”
Chonglan's face couldn't be redder anymore, but he was numb, and said expressionlessly: "If you can't draw it today, you can go back to the study and sleep." ”
Yan He raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw her vicious look, he stopped again, lowered his head and painted seriously, Chong Lan was afraid that he would paint something messy, so he simply gathered around him and stared at him.
What he painted this time was very normal, sitting on the swing with his clothes fluttering, and sketching his outline with a few strokes, standing behind the swing frame and pushing it slowly, there is nothing bad about this painting, but this swing...
Chonglan thought of the situation that made people blush and heartbeat a few days ago, and turned her head to glare at him: "You can't change the scene?" ”
Yan He was stunned and said, "Is there anything wrong with this scene?" ”
Of course, Chonglan wouldn't jump in stupidly, and glanced at him: "No, you hurry up and draw, you won't be able to finish painting later, and your dinner will be gone." ”
Yan He chuckled, and simply painted four more, three of these six paintings are normal beauty pictures, and the other three are really blushing boudoir pleasures, and he generously gave them all to her after painting: "It's all for you, let's change them one by one." ”
Chonglan blushed and flipped through the pictures below, and glared at him with slanted eyes: "You also explore the flowers, and paint some immodest ones, I think if you are poor in the future, you will not starve to death if you paint for a living." ”
At this time, it was almost dinner time, he pulled her out, and said in a rambling voice: "It's a pity that I can only paint the lady, if I paint for a living, I am afraid that the income is limited, it depends on whether the lady is willing to be willing to be rewarded." ”
Chonglan glanced at him and was about to speak, but at this time, Qingge brought a few little maids over, each of whom was holding something in her hand, and said with a smile: "Young lady, my aunt and grandmother just ordered someone to send the local products from the north over, saying that they wanted to give it to you, and she also said that it was rare to come but she didn't have time to come to see you, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
Of course, Aunt Yan wanted to ask her for forgiveness, Chonglan smiled noncommittally: "Aunt has a heart, how can she be so polite?" ”
She glanced at those things casually, although she didn't lack these, but she also saw that Aunt Yan was attentive, she thought about it and asked, "What else did Aunt Yan say?" ”
Qingge glanced at Yan He in embarrassment, Chonglan knew that she was afraid that Yan He would not be happy when she heard it, so she smiled and said: "What are you doing, you just have to say, if you say something wrong, you won't deduct your monthly money." ”
Qingge was relieved and said calmly: "My aunt said that the old lady was also instigated by the uncle and wife of the Liu family, and I hope that the young lady will not be surprised." ”
If it weren't for Mrs. Yan's improper thoughts, how could she be provoked by someone in a few words? Chonglan didn't think so, but she also knew Aunt Yan's embarrassment, so she bowed her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just afraid that my grandmother still doesn't look down on me." ”
Qingge smiled helplessly, standing behind Chonglan to help her make vegetables, and before the two of them could move a few chopsticks, they saw a maid at the door who was about to come in, but was stopped by Liuying and Qingyun who were guarding the door.
Chonglan turned her head to look, and saw that it was the beautiful maid who was sent with the paper kite, she frowned: "What's the name of this?" Where did it come from? ”
Qingge saw that she was so unruly, and she was very unhappy, so she lowered her head and replied: "If you return to the young lady, her name is Yinqiu, and she was sent by the uncle and wife of the Liu family. ”
Qingyun had a bad temper and scolded mercilessly: "Where did you learn the rules?" I didn't see the young lady and the young master eating, so rampage into it, shocked the young lady, you can afford it! ”
Yinqiu lowered his head, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "Sister Qingyun, don't worry, it's that the young master and the young lady are eating in the back room, and we have to serve only when we are subordinates, how can there be a reason for the master to eat, but the subordinates are idle?" ”
Qingyun looked at her with disdain: "It's true that the master is waiting for us to eat, but it's not your turn, didn't you see that Qingge was already inside?" I didn't weigh my own pounds before I came, and I deserved to serve you closely?! ”
Qingyun, this girl is good at everything, but she doesn't forgive people with one mouth, Yinqiu's face turned red and blue after speaking, and she lowered her head and argued: "The young master and the young lady are not here these days, and I have been hiding for many days, and it is easy for the master to come back, I should naturally do my duty as a maid, otherwise the old lady will blame me, and I can't afford it." ”
She moved out of Mrs. Yan, Qingyun didn't want to scold again, Chonglan turned her head to look at Yan He, and saw that he was eating without moving, did he give her a chopstick dish, and she liked a lot in her heart, but she said: "Listen, what about the person that grandmother specially sent you, why don't you help with it?" ”
Yan He was accustomed to her unreasonable troubles from time to time, so he was coquettish and foolish, so he picked up a few chopsticks of tender and soft sauce beef and sandwiched them into the roasted crispy and fragrant sesame cake and handed it to her: "It's good to eat your food raw, and leave the affairs of the next person to the next person, what are you doing so much?" ”
Chonglan didn't answer, just took a few bites of his hand, he fed it slowly, and the two of them cooperated to eat the palm-sized pancakes, and she sighed: "It's easy to say, in the end, it's the person sent by the elders, and it can't be punished easily, and it's my fault if you don't handle it well." ”
She used a silk to help Yan He wipe off the crumbs of cake that fell on her hands, turned her head and saw that Yinqiu was still entangled with Qingyun, and frowned unhappily: "She didn't have any eyes, why did grandmother choose such a person?" ”
Qingge also glanced out: "I must have been instigated by the paper kite to come over after a few words, she is more energetic with the paper kite inside, and she is afraid of losing face when she goes back empty-handed." ”
Chonglan glanced at Yan He again, and snorted: "Paper Kite is a smart one, use her to explore the way, Bacheng thinks I will punish her with this, right?" I'm not as good as she wants. ”
She raised her hand and beckoned, and said to Qingyun, "Let Yinqiu come in." ”
Qingge understood what she meant in a blink of an eye, but Qingyun was a little puzzled, but she had always been obedient, and she was stunned for a moment before letting go.
Chonglan took the time to glance at Yan He, he finished his meal slowly and methodically, and went back to the study very consciously.
Yinqiu was originally happy, but he couldn't help but show disappointment when he saw Yan He leaving, but he thought that it would be good to please Chonglan, so he turned around and smiled again, stepped forward, and saluted: "Young lady, the slave and maid are here to serve you for dinner." ”
Chonglan smiled and took her hand, and gave her a seat: "Qingge is in charge of this matter, where you are working, you just sit here and talk to me." ”
Yinqiu thought of her attitude in the afternoon, and didn't expect her to give her a good face, but now seeing that she treats herself with a pleasant face, and she doesn't have half a heavy word, she can't help but be surprised and happy in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that my words will be vulgar and won't be able to enter the eyes of Mrs. ”
Chonglan patted her hand: "I see that you are very clever, where is it rude." She took a sip of tea and asked casually, "What about the paper kite that came with you?" Why didn't you see her come and talk to me? ”
Yinqiu seized the opportunity to take eye medicine: "The paper kite is a person who came out of Aunt Xiu's room, and it is said that she has served the master, so she is naturally different from us ordinary maids." ”
Chonglan smiled, and didn't bother to ask about it anymore, and pulled Yinqiu to say a few casual greetings, and said with a smile: "You look good, you talk well, you know how to do things and understand the rules, it's not a loss to be a person trained by my grandmother, I really like it." ”
After speaking, he put the shrimp bracelet on her wrist and put it on her, picked a plate of snacks on the table for her, and ordered Qingge to send her back.
Yin Qiu was overjoyed, she really didn't expect Chonglan to treat herself so well, you know, if you want to be a concubine, not only must you be able to coax a man, but also must be approved by the main mother, Chonglan treats her so affectionately and kindly, isn't it...
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, her steps on the ground were a little lighter, and when she went back, she specially showed the dazzling shrimp bracelet on her wrist, and dangled it several times in front of the paper kite with a snack.
She raised her hand and stroked the bracelet and said, "I saw that Mrs. was kind and kind, and rewarded me with such a valuable thing, didn't Sister Paper Kite talk to Mrs. alone this morning?" Can you please the lady's reward? ”
She was next to her when Paper Kite was talking to Chonglan this morning, how could she not know if she had been rewarded or not? Paper Kite thought that she would go to Chonglan to touch her head, but she didn't expect to be rewarded, and her face was slightly gloomy, but then she changed her calm expression and said indifferently: "That's really congratulations to my sister, I don't have my sister's ability to likable." ”
Yinqiu didn't see the paper kite's envious and jealous look, so he was inevitably a little disappointed, and wanted to open his mouth to provoke, Qingge directly said goodbye and left.
Chonglan was waiting for her in the main hall, and when he saw her return, he asked, "How is it?" ”
Qingge said with a smile: "The two were already a little dirty, but they didn't quarrel. ”
Chonglan bowed his head and said: "Tomorrow, I will casually spread the word to the ears of the paper kite, saying that I like Yinqiu, and I intend to raise her position by one liter." ”
Qingge understood her method in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a little tricky for the old lady to send one over, and it's just to let us see the excitement." ”
Chonglan rubbed his forehead: "It's clear that you want to block me." She waved her hand and said, "You don't care about their business lately, let them make trouble on their own, and wait for the big mistake of the two to be solved together." ”
Qingge smiled and replied, Chonglan thought that he was troubled here, but Yan He was reading comfortably in the study, and his heart was unbalanced, so he brought a few plates of snacks to harass him, and looked over: "What book are you reading?" ”
Yan He didn't hide it from her, he leisurely turned it upside down to show her, and Chonglan blushed suddenly: "Why did you turn this book out again, didn't I order someone to pick it up?!" ”
He casually put the book aside, raised his eyebrows at her and said, "What to do when you pick it up, we still have a lot of postures that we haven't tried." ”
He frowned and raised his long eyebrows, his expression seemed to be a little annoyed, and he turned a page to show her: "Here is a piece in the mountains, when we were in the other courtyard, there were mountains and rivers, but there were many but I didn't try it, it's a pity." ”
Chonglan looked at him seriously, and found that his annoyed expression didn't seem to be fake, and he didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help but scold: "Don't think about it, I won't accompany you to do this, this is not wild, wild..."
Yan He's kind of ability can go a long way, and the combination of books and practice is indispensable, and he sighed gloomily when he heard the words: "You are the wife I am marrying, and you are one of these people. No one dares to say anything about it, what's there to be ashamed of? ”
Chonglan said unceremoniously: "It's because you're too thick-skinned." ”
Yan He glanced at her, and teased a few more words before getting down to business, Chonglan consciously grinded ink beside him, and after a while, he was a little sleepy, and he covered his mouth and yawned.
Yan He let her sit in his arms, and said in surprise: "Is it really so sleepy?" ”
Chonglan nodded weakly, she didn't know if she had committed autumn fatigue recently, she didn't stand if she could sit, she didn't sit when she could lie down, and sleeping five or six hours a day was not enough.
He quickly read the accounts in his hand, hugged her to wash and rest, and wanted to conquer again, but when he saw that she was tired, he gave up, and hurriedly fell asleep with her.
When she got up in the morning, Yan He specially ordered no one to disturb her, so she opened her eyes and the sun was already very big, fortunately, Mrs. Yan didn't have to say hello every day, and Yan Sansi didn't need her to ask for peace, so she got up and got out of bed slowly.
Qingge served her to get up and wash, and suddenly said: "Young lady, it seems that the uncle and grandmother of the Liu family are coming this morning." ”
Chonglan wiped his face's hand, and Qingge hurriedly added: "But Aunt Chong invited you to Zheng's Mansion for tea, you can just use this excuse to hide out, and you can't touch your uncle and grandmother left and right." ”
Chonglan was relieved at this time, but she still finished breakfast in three or two, quickly got into the carriage, brought some of the local products sent by Aunt Yan yesterday, and set off for Zheng's mansion.
She is now a serious governor's wife, and the treatment is much better than when she was not married, and she was greeted by someone at the door of Zheng's mansion when she first arrived, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Zheng's voice came out: "... I don't agree with this family business! ”
Aunt Chong's voice came out neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mother, father-in-law and Zhao'er and her father both agree that Zhao'er is very willing to this marriage, my mother is so opposed, how can my daughter-in-law tell the two?" ”
Old Madam Zheng snorted coldly: "You don't bring them out to press me, don't think I don't know what you have in mind, Zhao'er is your own child, you don't feel distressed, marry her to your mother's family, you have lost the benefits, only pity Zhao'er, she is going to call you a mother, you actually pushed her into the fire pit, why is your heart so vicious!" ”
After listening to these words, Chonglan remembered the marriage between the concubine of the Zheng family and Chongzheng, so she listened to Aunt Chong's unhurried words: "I can't understand what my mother-in-law said, but my eldest nephew of my mother's family has been appointed as a Jishi, and my niece has married the governor of a province, why has this become a fire pit?" ”
Old Madam Zheng snorted angrily: "Who doesn't know that the second child of the heavy family is a frequent visitor to the party, no matter how rich the family is?!" ”
Chonglan's heart tightened, and Aunt Chong said indifferently: "The prodigal son will not change the money when he turns around, besides, Zhao'er has seen this family affair herself, and she is also satisfied, don't be angry." ”
Old Madam Zheng was choked up, and slapped the table hard, shaking the tea cup on it: "Since you have a good family, what are you still doing in Zheng Mansion?!" Hurry back to your home! ”
Chonglan's face was cold, and she opened the curtain with a smile and walked in: "What are aunts and old ladies talking about, it's so lively." She turned her face to Old Madam Zheng: "How did I hear Old Madam say that she wants to invite my aunt back to her parents' house for a few days?" ”
Although Mrs. Zheng is an elder, she has not even caught a fate, Chonglan is a real second-grade lady, her lips moved, she could only swallow back the unpleasant words, and said with a smile: "The third aunt and grandmother are here." ”
Chonglan smiled and saluted, tilted her head and asked, "What did the old lady say, why didn't I hear clearly?" ”
Her expression sank little by little: "Are you going to invite my aunt back to her parents' house for a few days?" ”
She added an accent to the word invitation, and Mrs. Zheng's face turned blue and white, and she couldn't say that she was planning to drive Aunt Chong back to her parents' house, so she could only nod with difficulty.
Chonglan laughed and was about to speak: "It turns out that the old lady meant this, but she just let others hear it, and I thought you were driving my aunt back to her parents' house for no reason." ”
Old Madam Zheng's face immediately lengthened, Chonglan accepted it when she saw it, Aunt Chong pulled her sleeve, and said, "Mother, rest early, my niece and I won't bother." ”
Mrs. Zheng was so angry that she waved her hand and couldn't let the two of them get out of here.
Aunt Chong kept raising the corners of her mouth on the way back, and on the way, Chonglan couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, do you really plan to marry your daughter?" “
Aunt Chong knew what she wanted to ask as soon as she heard it, patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a mean and vicious person, Zhao'er knew the situation and married voluntarily." ”
After she finished speaking, she sighed helplessly: "Although this child didn't come out of my belly, but her aunt died early, and I brought it up when she was young. That's why the marriage has been delayed until now. ”
Chonglan hesitated: "This Zhao girl is a good one, but my second brother's temperament..."
She turned her head to Chonglan and said, "Although your second brother has a lot of bad problems, he finally has no bad intentions, and if he doesn't go up, there is still a big brother on top, and Zhao'er is also a hard temper, and he can always restrain him." ”
Chonglan paused when she heard what she said about this Zhao girl's appearance, and couldn't help but be curious: "Is my cousin Zhao born...?" ”
Aunt Chong thought about it, and her face was a little strange: "She wasn't ugly, but... Hey, I don't know what to say. ”
Chonglan imagined that she was incompetent, and the two had already arrived at the courtyard where Aunt Chong lived, and she was surprised to find that Chongzheng was also there, and when she heard the two come in, she turned her head and looked at the two pitifully.
Aunt Chong coughed dryly, and deliberately raised her voice: "Second nephew, niece, let's discuss a time, let Zhao'er and you see each other, and then pay the bride price, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Chongzheng immediately turned from pitiful to tearful, and turned his head to look at Chonglan sadly.
Chonglan vaguely guessed that he was dissatisfied with this family business, but he didn't know why, but no matter why, as long as Aunt Chong and Chongyan were willing, there was no place for Chongzheng to speak.
She also smiled at the moment: "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to see what this future second sister-in-law looks like." ”
Chongzheng looked at her heartbroken, Aunt Chong glanced at him, sat opposite him and squinted and said, "I specially called you here to discuss this matter, why don't you speak, dumb?" ”
Chongzheng understands very well that what his eldest brother likes, he has to admit it even if he doesn't like it anymore, otherwise he won't be able to save his three legs.
Therefore, he bowed his head in resignation and said, "But it is up to my aunt to decide." ”
He said these six words in a roundabout and tactful way, lingering with grievances, and Chonglan's scalp was numb when he heard it, but Aunt Chong said happily: "You and Zhao'er were raised by me when I was a child, they are really a match made in heaven, and there is no more suitable one." ”
Chongzheng replied with a sigh, and Chonglan took over the conversation and said, "Aunt is like this... Don't be afraid of disobeying Mrs. Zheng's wishes, be careful that she will give you no face again. ”
Chongzheng also raised his head with hope when he heard this, and Aunt Chong waved her hand disappreciatively: "She hasn't been like this for a day or two, since she came back from beating the boss and you married into Qi Guofu, she has had two seizures in three days." Besides, her father-in-law and Zhao'er and her father are willing, but she can only endure it no matter how dissatisfied she is. ”
Mrs. Zheng is afraid of the recovery of the family, and Aunt Chong, the daughter-in-law who is not very obedient, is even more difficult to handle, right?
Chonglan understood her thoughts as soon as she thought about it, turned her head to see her aunt's tired face, cared a few words, left the things she brought, turned around and left with Chongzheng.
Qi Guofu and Chongfu have a distance along the way, she asked Chongzheng to be her own carriage, seeing that he had changed from the appearance of the second ancestor in the past, he looked at her with a look of resentment, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Second brother, you are in your twenties, and it is time to marry, I think that Zhao girl is a good one, what are you doing so reluctantly?" ”
Chongzheng's mouth opened, as if he wanted to speak, and then he sighed again, closed his mouth firmly, and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't ask." ”
The more he stumbled, the more curious he became, and guessed: "Is it that this Zhao girl's appearance is a little unsatisfactory?" ”
Chongyan opened his mouth: "It's not...", and he didn't speak again.
Chonglan was so curious that he didn't say a word after asking a few questions, and he jumped out of the car and ran away in a hurry, she went home with a stomach full of questions, and when she thought about it, she became sleepy, and fell asleep on the chaise longue.
When she woke up, she found that she was pillowing on the person's lap, the hairpin ring on her head had been removed, the green silk on her head was dragged down, and the white and powerful fingers shuttled between her hair, helping her grate her hair one by one.
She raised her eyelids and looked at Yan He, and was about to speak, when she heard Qingge outside whispering: "Young master, the old lady has sent someone to cut the new autumn clothes in our courtyard." ”
