When I arrived at Changhetang, the people in the second room of the long room had already arrived.

The Xue family put on a smiling face, led the children to say hello to the Jiang family, and then sat down beside the Zheng family. In this way, Ye Qinglan naturally took a look at Ye Qingning.

Ye Qingning was wearing a scarlet dress, and her face was extremely bright and compelling. The demeanor was still arrogant and reserved, and when he saw Ye Qinglan, he lost his usual easy-going and cordial, only glanced at her lightly, and then looked away.

…… Still haven't deflated yet?

Ye Qinglan sighed secretly, and greeted Ye Qingning cheekily: "Sixth sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it seems that I have lost some weight." ”

Ye Qingning glanced at her quickly, and replied lightly: "You have a ruddy complexion, it seems that you are in a good mood these days." These words are pleasing to the ear at first glance, and when you taste them carefully, they are soft and prickly, and they are very piercing.

As long as you are willing to talk to her, you can only endure a few unpleasant words that are not painful.

Ye Qinglan changed the topic: "There are two days left before the Spring Exam, and Cousin Zheng will also enter the examination room this time." I will definitely be able to come back with a good ranking, and when the time comes, I will have a reputation for being a jinshi. ”

Ye Qingning replied with a smile: "It's nothing to be admitted to the Jinshi, where can it compare to the scenery of Cousin Gu's winning the champion back then!" ”

…… Well, she'd better shut up!

It's a pity that the silence still can't be stopped.

"It's a good conversation, why don't you talk all of a sudden?" Ye Qingning found fault with his heart: "You used to talk a lot with me, why don't you have anything to say now?" ”

Ye Qinglan comforted herself in her heart, we are adults, and we can't deal with a girl. What's the point of giving her a few words verbally? Anyway, there are so many people here, even if Ye Qingning is not happy in her heart, she will not quarrel with her in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan smiled and whispered, "It's inconvenient to talk here. I'll talk about it later. ”

Ye Qingning held back her anger for a month, where was she willing to let her go so lightly, and said with a cold smile: "I'm very busy, I'm going to go back to do needlework later, and I don't have time to talk nonsense about those people who have no conscience." ”

Ye Qinglan simply stopped her mouth neatly, Ye Qingning has a big temper, she has already understood it. Once you get angry, you won't lose your anger for three to five days. This time it's even more powerful, it's been a month and I'm still angry!

Since she didn't like to see herself so much, it didn't make sense to rush over. It's better to be more interesting. These days, stay away from Huancui Pavilion, lest Ye Qingning's heart be even more unhappy.

After leaving Changhe Hall, Ye Qinglan honestly followed the Xue family back to the Hefeng Courtyard. I didn't stop when I passed by Huancui Pavilion. In the afternoon, I was also very interested and didn't bother Ye Qingning.

It stands to reason that Ye Qingning should be relieved in his heart. But on the contrary, Ye Qingning's heart was even more unhappy. For two days in a row, I didn't smile with a strained face.

Zheng couldn't help but ask a few words with concern: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you in the past two days, you look unhappy." Who messed with you? ”

Ye Qingning naturally refused to admit that he was sulking for something. Denied it: "No, I'm in a good mood." ”

Zheng glanced at her: "I'm in a good mood, what are you doing with your face extended." Are you still awkward with Sister Lan? ”

Ye Qingning was told that he was on his mind, and turned his head sullenly.

Zheng gave her a rare explanation: "You are not a child anymore, why do you always make a little trouble." You used to be so good with Sister Lan, and I also told you. Stay away from her. What you said at the time, you just want to be nice to her. Who up and down the house doesn't know that the two of you are in harmony and friendship, going in and out together all day long. It's good now. For the sake of trivial things, it is like this. Those mouthy subordinates still don't know how to chew the root of their tongues behind their backs. ”

Ye Qingning frowned, and said unhappily: "How about me and the tenth sister, what does it matter to others." What do they have to say? ”

"They're not going to say anything to your face." Zheng said lightly: "However, Sister Lan's life is not very easy. Your third aunt doesn't like her in the first place. I used to look at the face of the long house, and I was kind to her. But. Now that you have an awkward relationship with her, your third aunt has no scruples. In the past two days, she has changed her ways! ”

Ye Qingning was taken aback, and reflexively raised his head and asked, "What happened to the third aunt to the tenth sister?" ”

Zheng raised his eyebrows amusedly: "Aren't you having trouble with her?" What else does she care? ”

Ye Qingning was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "When am I going to take care of her, I just ...... I just want to listen to relieve my boredom. ”

Hard mouth and soft heart! Zheng was secretly amused in his heart, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just heard that in the past two days, your third aunt often punished Sister Lan for grounding, and there are always one or two meals a day that you can't eat. ”

Ye Qingning lowered his eyelids. Zheng's voice drilled into her ears again: "It's not good for me to meddle in the affairs of the third room." Your third aunt is also a smart person, and she won't go too far......"

Isn't that excessive? The tenth sister is also a serious daughter, and she is punished for being grounded and has no food at every turn, isn't it the same treatment as those maids and servants who have made mistakes? The third aunt deliberately did it obviously, and she was simply determined to let the maids and women in the house know these things.

In this way, how will the tenth sister raise her head in front of those subordinates in the future?

Ye Qingning unconsciously furrowed his brows, and the handkerchief in his hand was tightened.

Xue is determined to pick thorns, even if Ye Qinglan does a good job, it is inevitable that a bunch of faults will be singled out. made an excuse at will, and punished Ye Qinglan to go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, and then the meal was "saved". Of course, Xue will not go too far, and will only eat one meal a day. It's either lunch or dinner.

The maids all felt aggrieved for their masters, but Ye Qinglan was very calm, and smiled and comforted: "Mother is just punishing me for reflection, what does it matter if I eat one less meal." It's like losing weight. It's a burden on you, and I really don't want to go. "The master has nothing to eat, and the maids will naturally starve.

Rui Xue wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, choked up and said, "Miss is growing her body, how can she always lack a meal and a meal less." "The previous young lady was thin and weak, but it took a year to grow some meat, and her complexion looked a lot better. Where can you afford such a toss?

Gui Yuan's eyes were also red: "Miss's life is really bitter." The master is not here, otherwise, he would not have suffered this sin. ”

Hongluan opened his mouth rarely: "Otherwise, Miss should quietly send a letter to Zhengzhou!" It's not okay to go on like this! ”

Maids, you say a word, and Ye Qinglan's heart is warm when she listens. Actually, she wasn't hungry at all. Every time the Xue family punished her for grounding, Ye Yuanzhou would always secretly go to the kitchen to find some food to bring her. Although she didn't want to see Ye Yuanzhou, she couldn't get along with her belly, so she just ate the meal with peace of mind. It just so happens that the diaphragm should be Xue's.

Because of Ye Yuanzhou, the Xue family would target her so much. But the more the Xue family treated her like this, the more distressed Ye Yuanzhou became, and he did everything possible to get food for her to give it to her secretly. Even if he was blamed and scolded by the Xue family, he refused to "repent". Xue's angry Qiqi smoked, and sent more people to look at Ye Yuanzhou. But Ye Yuanzhou has hands and feet, where can the maids stop him. Xue originally wanted to rectify her, but unfortunately, every time in the end, the person who was injured was Xue himself.

Ruomei softly pushed the door in, holding a heavy wooden box or something in her hand, tightly wrapped in a thick cloth.

Rui Xue couldn't help but sneer: "Ruomei, where have you been?" Why haven't I seen you for a long time? "It's not sad to serve the master!

Ruomei didn't explain much, and said in a low voice: "Miss, this is sent by Miss Gu." ”

Miss Gu? Ye Qinglan was stunned, and immediately reacted, this was said to Ruixue and the others. This wooden box should have been sent by Gu Xinian.

Ying'er was curious, and took a look: "What's in here?" ”

Rui Xue glared at her: "As long as you talk a lot, okay, let's all go out, don't disturb the quiet of Miss." So saying, he led all the maids out. Only Ruomei remained.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and chuckled. Rui Xue is really clever and transparent, I am afraid that she has already guessed the subtlety between herself and Gu Xinian, and she also knows the origin of Ruomei......

There was no one else in the house, so Ruomei said with a smile: "Miss, this is sent by the princess." As he spoke, he opened the package and respectfully handed over the wooden box.

Ye Qinglan took the wooden box and didn't open it in a hurry, but took a few closer looks.

Looking at the appearance, this wooden box is similar to a food box, and it is heavy in your hand. However, it is much more elaborate and delicate than ordinary food boxes. The carving is exquisite, with dark lines, revealing a high-end atmosphere.

When I opened the wooden box, I saw that there were a few snacks neatly placed inside. Dim sum Ye Qinglan is naturally often eaten, but this box of dim sum is particularly small and exquisite, with a fragrant aroma, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it.

"The person who sent the thing said that this was specially brought out of the palace by the prince, and he couldn't buy it outside, saying that he wanted the young lady to taste it fresh." Ruomei said without losing any time.

Ye Qinglan felt a faint sweetness in her heart. I also know that Ruomei must have passed on the situation in the past few days to Gu Xinian. Gu Xinian specially sent a box of dim sum from the palace, wanting her to be hungry when she was hungry. I really didn't expect him to be so careful.

Ye Qinglan picked up one of them and took a bite gently. The thick sweet aroma of bean paste spreads in the mouth, and the sweetness on the tip of the tongue has spread to the bottom of my heart.

It was the best snack she'd ever had.

Ruomei took out a thin letter from her sleeve again: "Miss, there is also a letter from the prince here." ”
