Zhixia followed behind, watching Ye Qingning talk and laugh with Ye Qinglan all the way, and was secretly surprised in his heart.
As a personal maid, no one knows Ye Qingning's various bad tempers better than her. When visiting guests or visiting other houses, they try to be more restrained. But on weekdays, he is cold and arrogant and awkward, and it is very difficult to serve.
I don't know what method Miss Ten used to coax Ye Qingning well, after leaving the Huancui Pavilion, the heads of the two came together and talked endlessly.
Soon we will arrive at the Plum Temple.
Zheng was having breakfast, and when he saw Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan coming together, he naturally greeted with a smile: "You two also sit down and have breakfast together!" ”
Ye Qingning sat down unceremoniously, seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't move, she estimated that she was about to start saying a bunch of twists and turns of polite words again, and she couldn't help but sit down with her: "Okay, okay, you don't say a bunch of polite words, sit down and eat together, otherwise the meal will be cold." ”
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to sit down with a smile, and said with a smile: "I have already eaten breakfast, and my stomach is not hungry at all." ”
Ye Qingning smiled: "After eating, you can eat again." The chef in the courtyard of Luomei makes dim sum quite well. As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of delicate jujube paste cake and put it in front of Ye Qinglan.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Ye Qinglan tasted it with a smile, and was immediately conquered by the strong fragrance of jujubes, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really delicious." ”
Ye Qingning saw that she was eating deliciously, so she also picked up a piece and tasted it. She was much more picky about what she ate, but she felt that the jujube paste cake in her mouth tasted ordinary, and smiled casually: "Is this also delicious?" I'll invite you to try the dim sum made by the chef of Huancui Pavilion another day, it is much better than this. ”
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
Zheng watched from the sidelines, secretly surprised in his heart. Ye Qingning was just reprimanded by himself yesterday, and with Ye Qingning's temperament, he would be sulking for at least a few days and would not pay attention to people. Unexpectedly, he led Ye Qinglan over early in the morning as if nothing happened, and the two behaved quite intimately.
Ye Qingning didn't have such patience with his own sisters.
For the first time, Zheng looked at Ye Qinglan with serious eyes.
The appearance is beautiful and refined, the demeanor is elegant and quiet, although the complexion is slightly pale and not ruddy, but the smiling eyes are unusually clear and bright. is not very old, but there is an indescribable calm bearing.
This kind of unhurried calmness even impressed the Zheng family.
Ye Qinglan knew that Zheng was looking at herself with sharp eyes, but she didn't panic at all, and after eating half of the jujube cake, she put her chopsticks aside - in fact, she really wanted to eat it all in one go. However, she has not forgotten that she is now a "patient". You can't seem to have a good appetite and be too good to eat.
At this moment, Cui Wan came. She was followed by two maids, and a young woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, holding a girl in her arms, it was Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei's daughter Sister Qiao'er.
Sister Qiao'er is less than a year old this year, and she is born with a cute water, but unfortunately she is naturally weak and often sick.
Zheng liked his granddaughter very much when he saw him, and held him in his arms and teased him for a while. Ye Qingning was not very enthusiastic about his only niece and did not come over.
Ye Qinglan likes beautiful children the most, so she leaned over with a smile and kissed Sister Qiao'er's tender and slippery little face. Sister Qiao'er has black and white eyes, not to mention how flattering she is.
"Sister-in-law in the lobby, can I hug Sister Qiao'er?" Ye Qinglan made a request with an itch.
Cui Wan responded with a smile, glanced at Ye Qinglan's slender little body, and couldn't help but add: "Can you hold it?" "Look at her sickly look, where is the strength.
Ye Qinglan winked playfully: "Don't worry, I just ate the jujube paste cake here from my aunt, and I have the strength." The people who were amused by the words were amused.
Ye Qinglan cautiously hugged Sister Qiao'er. Sister Qiao'er is thin and small, and she is fluttering in her arms, and it doesn't take much effort at all.
Sister Qiao'er can't speak yet, she is snuggling with her little mouth open, which is really cute.
Cui Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "The popularity of the tenth cousin is really good!" Even Sister Qiao likes you. "Sister Qiao'er is a little familiar with life on weekdays, and if a stranger hugs her, she will cry endlessly. But now she is lying obediently in Ye Qinglan's arms, not crying or making trouble.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Needless to say? Her affinity index has always been very high.
Ye Qingning was also a little surprised when she looked at it, and came over to hug Sister Qiao'er. Ye Qinglan didn't fight with her, and gave Sister Qiao to her with a smile.
Ye Qingning has never hugged a child, so she can't help but be a little clumsy, and I don't know if it hurt Sister Qiao'er. I saw Sister Qiao'er pursed her lips, and then cried.
It's so shameless!
Ye Qingning's face darkened. lowered her head and coaxed a few words, but Sister Qiao still cried, so she had to impatiently hand Sister Qiao to Cui Wan.
Cui Wan was very distressed, but she couldn't say anything about her sister-in-law, so she hugged Sister Qiao'er aside and coaxed her for a long time, and Sister Qiao'er's crying gradually stopped.
Ye Qingning complained in a stupid whisper: "Why do children love to cry so much, it's really annoying." ”
Ye Qinglan couldn't stop laughing, and she didn't talk much. Otherwise, Miss Ye Liu would really be annoyed and angry.
Zheng got up and said, "It's not too early, we should also go to Changhetang." Cui Wan hugged Sister Qiao'er and followed, and Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan also followed.
From the Plum Courtyard to the Changhetang, it takes about a cup of tea to arrive.
Although Ye Qinglan has been to Changhetang a few times, it is the first time she has entered the inner room. I couldn't help but take a few closer looks, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless. Even the most ordinary tables and chairs are made of fine mahogany, which is too luxurious.
Grandfather Ye Sheng has already gone to the early dynasty, and grandmother Jiang is sitting in the side hall with a smile, gossiping with her second daughter-in-law Li. Ye Qingrou and Ye Qingru sisters also came.
Li got up with a smile and greeted him: "Sister-in-law came early today." ”
Zheng tugged at the corners of his lips: "Brother and sister, this is laughing at me." I don't have you early every day. "Li is the best at courtesy, she has always looked down on this set, and disdains it.
The two of them passed a move quietly.
Ye Qinglan followed Ye Qingning to greet the Jiang family.
Jiang Shi was very kind, smiled and ordered the two to get up, and ordered someone to bring up the dim sum and tea. Ye Qinglan was not hungry at all, and stopped after eating a few mouthfuls casually.
Jiang's gaze paused on Ye Qinglan's face for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Sister Lan, your father and mother have returned to Zhengzhou, and you are left alone." In the future, if you lack anything to eat, just open your mouth and tell me, or talk to your aunt and uncle. ”
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully: "Yes, grandmother." ”
Jiang Shi was very satisfied with her well-behaved and obedient, and gave a few words of advice to take care of her illness and so on. Then he looked at Zheng and said, "Sister Qiao will be one year old in two months, and when the time comes, a few tables will be lively." ”
Zheng smiled and responded.
Cui Wan was happy in her heart, but she heard Jiang Shi say lightly: "Wanniang, you have been married for five years!" Sister Qiao is naturally taken care of, and the most important thing at present is to spread out for our Ye family. ”
Cui Wan smiled and responded in a low voice, not knowing what it was like in her heart.
After Jiang Shi knocked a few words, he glanced at Ye Qingning with a smile: "Sister Ning is not too young, and she should also worry about lifelong affairs." ”
Li's interface with a smile: "Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about Sister Ning's marriage. I think my sister-in-law has already liked it. He glanced at Zheng meaningfully.
Zheng quietly took over the conversation: "I do have a favorite." Although I haven't officially come to propose marriage yet, it should be soon, just a few months. ”
Jiang Shi suddenly became interested: "Oh? Such a good thing, how can I not say it earlier. Hurry up and listen, whose son is it? ”
Li hurriedly said: "You have also seen this son-in-law, it is Zheng Junyan, the nephew of the sister-in-law's family. ”
At the mention of Zheng Junyan, Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou's faces were a little strange. Ye Qingrou was jealous and envious, but Ye Qingning had no joy, where was the girl to be married mentioning the shyness of her sweetheart.
Zheng glanced at Ye Qingning with a slight warning, Ye Qingning had to bow his head and pretend to be shy, the corners of his lips were pursed tightly, but he was irritable in his heart.
Jiang had a good impression of Zheng Junyan, and said with a smile: "If you can really decide this family business, it will be a good thing." ”
Zheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile.
Although the letter received yesterday was not very pleasant, Zheng was very confident in this family business.
The affairs of children and daughters are all ordered by their parents to match the words of the concubine. Where can they be so willful.
Ye Qinglan knew that Ye Qingning was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother her, but only pricked up her ears to listen to Jiang and the others. The topic of several of them still revolves around Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan's family affairs. Everyone has a smile on their faces, but if you look closely, you can detect the subtle difference.
Zheng was genuinely happy, but there was some indescribable sourness in Li's smile. Jiang's expression is even more interesting. It seems to be kind and kind, but if you pay close attention, you will find that her concern is only superficial. It's not so much that he cares about Ye Qingning's marriage, but more like a polite inquiry.
As a grandmother, how can she be so inattentive to her granddaughter's lifelong events?
Moreover, the attitude of Jiang and Zheng is also a little strange. It seems easy-going, but in fact it is alienated and polite. It's different from Lee's, and the attitude is obviously much more intimate.
There must be something she didn't know......
Ye Qinglan was secretly pondering, and suddenly a maid came in with a thin invitation. The maid didn't say a word, and quietly handed the invitation to the winter goose.
Dong Yan glanced at it, and then walked forward with a smile to report: "Madam, the Dingguo Mansion sent an invitation." ”
Dingguo Mansion?
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning looked up together and looked at the invitation.
Zheng was also a little surprised. It's not a year's holiday, and I haven't heard of any happy events in the Dingguo Mansion, so what do you do when you send invitations?
