Chapter 20 In this life, only shadows accompany you
In the sound of lamentation, I drank bitterly, and I woke up drunk and sorrowful
"Miss! The fish is sprinkled on the skirt! Juan'er thought that the young lady was really strange, and began to lose her mind again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Oh," Qing Nuan looked down and smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't pay attention." Let's go, go back, and eat the duck soup stewed by Cui's mother today. β
"Well, let's go."
Juan'er is so heartless, she listens to everything Qing Nuan says, and believes it without doubt. Qing Nuan looked at the maid who grew up with her, Juan'er, painted heart, painted γγγ was very satisfied.
"Miss, why are you looking at me?" Juan'er looked at the young lady with a smile and looked at herself, and she was very puzzled.
"Nothing! Juan'er is good-looking! β
"Miss! You're making fun of me again! β
γγγγγγ
"Sister Nuan is late today!" Guan Yuxin will not let go of any opportunity to mock Qing Nuan, and now that her parents have returned to Beijing, they are even more unscrupulous.
"Sister Xin, don't blame me." Qing Nuan was a little dislike to always be found faulty, but she still hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, and endured it without having a seizure.
"How can my sister blame my sister, it's just that Miss Weiyuan Houfu doesn't understand etiquette, it's not good." Guan Yuxin obviously showed no signs of stopping there.
The official mother sitting on the side was also inconvenient to interject at this time, and the second wife who had just come back, Guan Yuxin and Guan Yuyan's mother, also pretended not to hear.
"Thank you sister for reminding me, it's just that today the eleventh master sent someone to send me a letter, and the father-in-law in the palace waited for my reply, so he delayed for a while. Next time, I must tell the eleventh master, don't send the letter so late, so as not to lose the rudeness in front of my sister! Qing Nuan knew something today, and she was already a little irritable and unwilling to show it. But Guan Yuxin found fault again and again, and Qing Nuan stopped choking on the polite echo.
"Oh, Qing Nuan has grown so big! Come and show the second aunt! Mrs. Erfang interrupted hurriedly.
Qing Nuan stepped forward and said hello to the husband and wife in the second room, "Qing Nuan has seen the second uncle and second aunt, and the second uncle and second aunt have worked hard all the way." β
"Come on, come on, get up." The second wife hurriedly helped Qing Nuan up and looked at Qing Nuan with a smile.
"Yes, I remember when I first released it, I was still a milk doll, and now the children have grown up." The second master of the official family also said with emotion to the official father.
"Yes, we're getting old." The official father smiled bitterly, the second room was still the same as the rudder, "Let's get ready for dinner." β
This dinner is a gathering of the first and second rooms of the official family, the second room of the official family has the eldest son of the second wife, Guan Yuqiu, and the two daughters Guan Yuyan and Guan Yuxin, and the other is a concubine, one is Guan Yuqi, and the other is Guan Yuqiao.
"How is the house in the capital of my brother and sister getting bigger? What's missing, just tell me. The official's mother said politely.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." The second lady rolled her eyes, "It's nothing, it's just that I see the shortcomings of the hall." However, in this Hou Mansion, I saw the red coral that was placed in the inner hall, which was extremely beautiful. Sister-in-law, you also know that when my lord returns to Beijing to evaluate his performance, many old friends will come to visit, thinking of borrowing to support the scene. β
"Haha, I can't be the master of this." The official's mother looked at the second wife's inevitable appearance, and felt very uncomfortable.
"What? The sister-in-law can't even be the master of this little thing. The second wife was a little unhappy, thinking that the big house was also stingy.
"Little things? The second aunt also wants to be cautious. Qing Nuan took a sip of soup and said slowly, "This is a birthday gift from the eleventh master on my birthday, I'm afraid it's not a small thing." β
"Haha, it's the second aunt who was negligent, negligent." It is not a trivial problem to belittle the royal family, the second wife was originally the daughter of a merchant, and as long as it is related to her own interests, she wants to take it for herself, and this time she said the wrong thing.
"This thing is a congratulatory gift from the eleventh master to Qing Nuan, so I can't be the master." The official's mother thought that the second wife should give up now. Dot? Even if it wasn't given by the Eleventh Master, this coral wouldn't be a small thing.
"That's better, since it's warm, can I lend it to the second aunt?"
This second-room wife is really, brainless. Since it was sent by the royal family, how could it be easily borrowed.
But what the second wife thought in her heart was true, and what the eleventh prince gave was even more noble, of course, she had to find a way to get it to her own house.
"I'm afraid it won't be as the second aunt intended. Does the second aunt know why she put it in the hall overnight? "Qing Nuan is ready to tease this insatiable person. The two daughters had already taken a lot of things from them, and their mother had helped them clean up their mansion in advance and sent a lot of things. It doesn't matter whether you are stingy or not, but you don't have to be polite to people who don't know how to be grateful and have insufficient hearts.
"What? What else does it mean? The second wife just felt that the big house was stingy and refused to borrow, and her tone was very disdainful.
"It was placed there by the eleventh master, if the eleventh master came to see that he was gone, he would be blamed." Qing Nuan said nonchalantly. Eleven, this time I will borrow your name as a shield.
It seems that he is used to being a fox and a fake tiger, Qing Nuan thought helplessly.
"Oh, that's it. I also mentioned it casually, it's okay, hehe. When the second wife looked at Qing Nuan and talked about the royal princes, she looked indifferent, she must be very familiar with the magnates in the capital, and she had other small calculations in her heart.
After eating a meal, the Weiyuan Marquis family felt very tired and helpless.
"It's not early, and it's hard to travel all the way, so we'll go back first." After walking all the way for more than ten days, it is impossible to say that I am not tired, anyway, I have taken everything I can, and the second wife plans to go back.
"Well, I'll get you out of the house." The official's mother also felt that she had not greeted the family when she held a banquet before.
Watching the carriage of the second room go away, Qing Nuan sighed, "Hey, it's finally gone." β
Although she thought so too, the official mother still glanced at Qing Nuan cautiously.
"Mother, don't look at Qing Nuan, my son thinks the same way, haha." The second official is the most protective of his sister.
"You guysγγγ" The official mother smiled helplessly.
on the carriage
"Why didn't Mother let me teach that girl a good lesson at first?" Guan Yuxin is still dissatisfied with her mother's interruption of her affairs.
"You know what!" The second wife looked at Guan Yuxin with some hatred.
"Sister, my mother is helping you! Guan Qingnuan moved the eleventh master out, if you say that she doesn't understand etiquette, you are blaming the eleventh master for 'not knowing etiquette' to deliver the letter so late, you won't be able to eat and walk around! Guan Yuyan explained.
"But I just can't get used to seeing her like that!" Guan Yuxin felt very unconvinced, where could she compare to her, why did everyone revolve around her.
"I don't want to hear this kind of thing a second time!" Looking at the stupidity of his daughters, he had hoped that they would enter Beijing earlier and make some noble ladies with Qing Nuan, but it seemed that they were making a mess.
Seeing that her mother was angry, Guan Yuxin and Guan Yuyan closed their mouths tacitly.
Back in Qingshui Courtyard, Juan'er smirked vigorously.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You look at me like this and laugh at me, and I panic. Qing Nuan looked at Juan'er with disgust.
"Haha, I just feel that Miss is not bullied like before, Juan'er is happy for Miss!"
"I'm just telling the truth, today the eleventh master did send someone to send me a letter, saying that it will be a temple fair in three days, and we will go to pray for blessings and spring together."
"Oh, that's it. I thought it was Miss's nonsense! Ha ha! Juan'er remembered that Miss didn't blush yesterday and her heart didn't beat like a fox, and she laughed secretly in her heart.
"Juan'er, you're not right." Painted Xin, who came in with the quilt, said with a wicked smile, "Miss is a serious nonsense at most." Hahaha! β
A room laughed, Qing Nuan looked at the maids helplessly, it seemed that she had spoiled them, and dared to laugh at herself like this.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh, Miss is ready to rest, and I'll go out after arranging."
Qing Nuan gratefully watched Cui's mother come in to relieve herself, or Cui's mother was the dearest!
"But Miss, don't be serious in the future."
knew that any relief was a floating cloud, and poor Qing Nuan was drowned out by laughter.
After a long time, Qing Nuan lay on the bed and still didn't fall asleep, turning left and right, thinking about many things that happened today, half-dreaming and half-waking, the nightmare seemed to be a dream, and it seemed to be reality.
"Female Officer Wei, today's matter has been clarified, and it is indeed the people from the second prince's side who did it." Wei Hanlian has cultivated many secret guards to do things for himself, fame and fortune, secretly, as simple as collecting intelligence, and bloody as slaughtering. Not only that, but there are also many eyes and ears in the market, forming a huge information network, which is priced according to the importance of intelligence, and no one knows who is behind the scenes to really collect intelligence.
"He's grown up and came up with such a meticulous plan." Wei Hanlian never believed in chance, "Check it out, he's seen those people recently." β
"Yes, I've got the brothers following up. But γγγ" the man looked at his master cautiously, hesitating whether to say it or not.
"If you have something to say, as long as it's valuable, I won't blame." Qing Nuan was still calmly flipping through the secret report in her hand.
"The day before yesterday, the team that had been following the second prince saw that the second prince had been forgetting the Qingyun Temple in the suburbs recently, and γγγ "seemed to have made up his mind to be scolded, and he continued to speak.
"And recently the prince of Wei Xi has been cultivating in Qingyun Temple, right?" Before he could say it, Qing Nuan took over the words.
"Yes." The leader of the secret guard didn't dare to look directly at Han Lian, so he came to this end and said.
"There is no doubt about this, Master Tupu of Qingyun Temple has returned from a wandering, and Wei Xi and I have been taught by Master Tu Pu, so there is no need to talk about spending energy on Wei Xi."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
γγγγγγγγγγγγ
It turned out that everything was too conceited and too trusting of this only friend. It's not that I don't know, it's that I have always rejected knowing Weixi's true intentions. I don't want to see it, so I can't see it.
"Qing Nuan, Qing Nuan!"
Vaguely feeling that someone was calling herself, Qing Nuan forced herself to come out of the nightmare, but she didn't seem to be able to get out.
"Tell me it's not true, what they said isn't true, rightγγγ hmmγγγ" Qing Nuan felt that she grabbed Wei Xi in a dream, asked him if he was sent by the second prince, and asked him why he lied to himself.
"Qing Nuan wake up, this is a dream, don't be afraid, wake up." Chonggeng never understood where the sadness in her eyes that had been dissipating for a long time came from, and she whispered strangely, whether it was a dream or a review of memories.
"Ahh Qing Nuan woke up in shock and saw that he was holding the arm of the Seventh Prince tightly and hurriedly letting go.
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare, I scratched youγγγ" Qing Nuan calmed down by herself.
"It's okay, what kind of nightmare are you doing, want to talk to me?" Chong Geng gently patted her on the back, and his gentle tone soothed her.
"It's just something scary, there's nothing to say." Qing Nuan lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Okay, then I won't talk about it."
Relatively speechless, Qing Nuan felt slightly embarrassed.
"Any idea why I'm having nightmares?" Qing Nuan looked at him and said.
"Why?" seems to be catering to Qing Nuan's blunt change of topic.
"How many masks can a person have in his life? Some things can never be seen through, and if you don't see through them, maybe it's the best ending. There are some things that I feel pressured to know when I know them. Is it really that good to walk around the world wearing different masks? Why can't we just live simply? β
"Because people have desires, they don't want to live simply." Chonggeng looked at her incomprehension and emotion, the world is a cruel battle.
"What about you?" She just looked straight at him.
I know what the answer isγγγγγγ
