This person is the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion, Qin Zhuang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with Qingxin Temple half a month ago, Qin Zhuang's complexion is obviously much better now, and he stands there gently smiling at Lan Xi.
After Qin Zhuang and Zhao Rouyun briefly greeted each other, they ignored the ladies and walked straight towards Lanxi.
"Lanxi, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much." The happiness on Qin Zhuang's face was self-evident.
"I didn't hear that Sister Zhuang is back, and you don't let the maid come and tell me that I want to see you, have you forgotten your sister" Lan Xi turned his back and pretended to be angry.
"Sister, I was wrong, I won't dare next time" Qin Zhuang turned Lan Xi's body and begged for mercy with a smile, "I just came back yesterday, I didn't want to come, I heard that you were coming, I rushed over, you have no conscience and still complain about me"
"Lan Xi knows that she is wrong, but my sister is not in good health, why is she still here today." Lan Xi was more worried about Qin Zhuang's body.
"Sister, rest assured, although my body has not healed now, it is fine, and it is good to go out for a walk. Besides, I haven't seen you for many days, and I want to come to see you, too" Today, the Duchess of Dingguo was not allowed, but she really couldn't bear Qin Zhuang's repeated grinding. Second, although the people don't know how Qinzhuang was restored, the elders of the Dingguo Mansion naturally know that since they are benevolent people, it doesn't hurt to move around more.
"Really? It's a great joy, but you still have to pay more attention, you can't just run around like this. Lan Xi still couldn't stop worrying, and when he heard Qin Zhuang's heart, he wanted to get closer to Lan Xi more and more.
"Okay, it's younger than me, but it's like an old mother," Qin Zhuang said with disgust.
"I really don't know the hearts of good people, I miss you in vain" Lan Xi also had fun.
"Okay, I know you're worried about me, I'm fine, sit down, it's been a long time since we've had a good chat."
"Yes"
The two of them sat down and chatted affectionately, and the ladies around couldn't sit still. Who is Dingguo Mansion? Hereditary iron hats, several generations of princes are people who have made outstanding achievements on the battlefield, and now the queen mother in the palace is also the Qin family, and the Qin family can be said to be the first noble person under the imperial Li family. It's just that the Qin family is low-key and doesn't like to make friends with ministers, the young master of the Qin family doesn't go along with the sons of the family, and the young lady of the Qin family doesn't like to associate with the young lady. Except for the young lady of the hussar general's family, there seems to be no good friendship in Manjing.
Today, Miss Qin not only participated in this banquet rarely, but as soon as she came, she found the second miss of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an to talk, looking at the two of them like this, she felt a lot of feelings. I had never heard of Miss Qin and Miss Su Er being friends before.
"Sister Qin, you're here, I didn't see you just now." After a while, a woman who spoke and dressed very neatly walked over to Qin Zhuang, turned to Lan Xi and smiled: "Miss Suer, I am one year older than you, I dare to call you sister, I am Yue Xiang," and there was no procrastination of a woman in the capital. Just now, Su Lanchao entered the door in such a big battle, although Lan Xi on the side didn't speak much, but in order to express his generosity, Lan Chao didn't mention Lan Xi less. Yue Xiang didn't look down on Lan Chao's appearance, but he didn't have any rejection of the introverted Lan Xi, and besides, the person who was good friends with Qin Zhuang must have a good temperament, so he greeted Lan Xi very politely.
"Sister Yue is good, just call me Lanxi" Lanxi was not arrogant, and responded generously, and Yue Xiang's favor was even greater.
This Yue Xiang Lanxi has also heard that his father is Yue Lin, a hussar general, who fought on the battlefield and made countless achievements, and was deeply favored by Emperor Ming. The Yue family is a typical family of military generals, the men in the family are all on the battlefield, and the Yue family has no daughters for several generations, only this generation has a Yue Xiang. Yue Xiang did not become a well-behaved lady of the family as her mother intended, but danced with guns and sticks all day long, forcing Mrs. Yue to take her to banquets every day, hoping that her daughter would be able to regain her temperament.
Lan Xi listened to and envied Yue Xiang, there was no restraint, although on weekdays, the lady of the family always took Yue Xiang as a counterexample, and always said that the daughter of the Yue family was too reckless, but how many women can experience such a happy life? The ladies in the capital love to fight in the dark, and this Yue Xiang is wonderful.
"Why is Sister Yue here today?" Qin Zhuang was also very curious, on weekdays, Yue Xiang hated these parties and banquets the most.
"What else? My mother has to drag me, otherwise she will throw my sword" Yue Xiang was also helpless.
Lan Xi and Qin Zhuang snorted and laughed, this Mrs. Yue was also helpless. "It seems that Mrs. Yue is in a hurry for her sister's marriage," Qin Zhuang joked to Yue Xiang with a smile.
Indeed, Yue Xiang's temperament, which lady in the capital dares to ask for it, her background and temperament are very strong and her daughter-in-law is very strong, and she shouts and kills all day long, and she has long been rejected by the family. Even if some families with inconspicuous official positions want to marry the Yue family behind Yue Xiang, Mrs. Yue is not willing to marry. If you don't get high or low, this Yue Xiang will be the first next year, and this marriage can be regarded as the top priority of the Yue family.
"Don't talk about it, my mother is worried about this every day now. Those little white-faced people in the capital who can't shoulder and can't carry their hands are useless, what's the use of having a good family? ”
Yue Xiang didn't want to see the son of the capital family from his heart, so he knew that he relied on the family to lead the idle errands, planting flowers and walking birds all day long, and he was not involved with the maids, and there were a lot of concubines in the backyard. I really don't know what my mother thinks is good about them, anyway, I don't want to get married.
"What my sister said is reasonable, but Mrs. Yue is worried" Lan Xi also understands Yue Xiang in his heart, the prince of the capital is indeed weak, and it is understandable that Yue Xiang, who grew up in the military camp, is not worth it. It would be a pity if a bright and strong woman like Yue Xiang would one day become an intriguing woman.
"Today is the chrysanthemum banquet in the Ningguo Mansion, there are so many beautiful flowers, the two sisters don't have to worry about my business, just be at peace with what you encounter" Saying this, Yue Xiang's eyes still flashed a trace of gloom.
Even if it is a refreshing and straight person like Yue Xiang, the attitude of the big families in the capital will not be unaware, how can she not be sad if she is a cardamom woman? Speaking of this, Yue Xiang's heart must not be comfortable.
"Yes, yes, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else" Qin Zhuang took over the conversation and changed the topic. How could a smart woman like Qin Zhuang and Lan Xi not know what Yue Xiang's gloom was for, but Yue Xiang didn't want to mention it, so they didn't mention it.
The three of them are all women with good knowledge and knowledge, and they became intimate after a while. Even Lan Xi and Yue Xiang had just met, and they appreciated each other because of each other's unarrogant temperament.
"My sister is fine, I disturbed the two sisters." A crisp female voice came in unexpectedly.
Turning his head, he saw that it was Su Lanchao, who was dressed up, and spoke with a dignified smile. Displeasure flashed in Qin Zhuang and Yue Xiang's eyes, does this Miss Su think how noble she is? casually interrupted others' conversations, but Lan Xi lowered her head so that people couldn't feel her expression.
For Su Lanchao, Su Lanxi is a concubine, a lowly embryo born to a concubine, and she was born to pave the way for her. The family is clearly distinguished, Su Lanchao feels that Miss Yan should have a relationship with Miss Yan, and to put down her body and make friends with her is to lose face with her sister. Therefore, this Miss Yan of the Dingguo Mansion and Miss Yan of the Hussar General's Mansion must not know that Lan Xi is just a concubine who can talk and laugh. I should "remind them" of Lanxi's identity.
Besides, these two young ladies don't pay much attention to themselves on weekdays, and they are so close to their sister-in-law, isn't this slapping her in the face of Su Lanchao?
Lan Xi lowered his head with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, his sister-in-law really looked at herself too much, and even if she had someone she had a good friend with, she wanted to intervene. It seems that she is not worthy of having any good things in the eyes of Su Lanchao, including her friends, and she should not be as high as Su Lanchao's handkerchief. In the past and present life, I will be pressed by this output identity for a lifetime.
"Miss Su laughed, Sister Lanxi's words are moderate, Sister Yue and I love each other very much, where did the "words come from"? "Qin Zhuang said this very closely, Su Lanchao is Miss Su, and Su Lanxi is Lanxi's sister. Besides, I don't like this flamboyant Miss Wu'an Houfu, don't be in the way of her identity and let her carry her, I'm not afraid of her.
Besides, Lan Xi is a good woman and deserves deep friendship. Even if she is a concubine, her aunt is also a lady of the family, and she teaches Lanxi very well. Even a person who cares about her mother says that she can be good friends with Lan Xi, what is she Su Lanchao?
"What Sister Qin said is that although Sister Lanxi is young, she speaks and does things in a disciplined manner, and she will not interrupt others at will, so naturally there is no rudeness." This Yue Xiang speaks much more bluntly than Qin Zhuang, Qin Zhuang is subject to the rules of the family all day long, but Yue Xiang grew up on the battlefield, and he doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks.
She just doesn't like Su Lanchao, and thinks all day long how powerful she is, the whole world has to revolve around her. On the other hand, Su Lanxi is calm and introverted, and he speaks kindly, and he is more willing to associate with Lanxi. Isn't it just to see whose womb you were born in? The Yue family has no concubines, but Yue Xiang knows about the dirty things between the concubines, and Su Lanchao is really excessive, and he took the initiative to come over to smear Lanxi.
Lan Xi was moved, not to mention that Qin Zhuang, who rarely had rules and regulations on weekdays, and choked people this time, also gave Su Lanchao no face for her, even Yue Xiang, who had just met, turned his face against Su Lanchao for her. The important thing is that this behavior is not really the result.
Su Lanchao didn't expect these two young ladies to choke so facelessly, and dropped a sentence of "Since that's the case, my sister will say goodbye" and went to talk to her handkerchief.
"You sister-in-law really can't look down on you," Yue Xiang sighed.
"Yes, Lanxi, you have to be careful" Qin Zhuang was also worried
"I can't see my good people, where can Su Lanchao" Lan Xi thought to himself, the vicious gaze on his back has been staring at him for a long time.
