Chapter 66: Inquiring
Under the bright candlelight, Ye Qinglan leaned on the thick pillow leisurely, with a leisurely attitude, as if what she had just said was just an ordinary thing.
Ke Ruixue's face was a little complicated and subtle, and she hesitated for a moment before she whispered: "Miss, if this matter is known by Miss Six, I'm afraid she will be unhappy......
"That's why I let you go." Ye Qinglan said lightly: "Remember, inquire quietly, don't let people think of me." Also, don't let Hongyu and the others know, and don't talk about Longan for the time being. It's not that she can't believe Guiyuan, it's just that she is still young and has a straightforward temperament, so she can't hide her words at all.
Rui Xue calmed down and responded lowly.
This was the first errand her master had given her, and she had to do it safely no matter what.
All night, Ruixue pondered how this was going to happen. Gu Xinian is so famous, there should be no fewer people who know him. It would be a bit difficult to pick one of them who knew a lot and liked to gossip.
She is not the son of the house, and it has been less than a month since the master went to the capital to add and subtract, and she stays in the courtyard almost all day, and she is not familiar with the personnel in the house. Where are you going to find such a person?
Besides, she's going to have to find a suitable excuse to inquire......
Ruixue racked her brains all night, and finally came up with a way, and when it was almost dawn, she fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Ye Qinglan routinely got up to greet the Zheng and Jiang families. Ruixue naturally had to go with her.
Because Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning were close, Ruixue naturally stayed with Zhixia. Standing next to her is the big girl Ruyue next to the eighth lady Ye Qingrou, plus the big girl Dongyan next to the Zheng family, the four maids are neat and tidy, and they are all very outstanding.
If you compare it carefully, the most peugeot is Zhixia. The most dignified and calm is the winter goose, which is also very good for the moon, but the big eyes are very flexible. A little less composure. Ruixue knew that she was born well, but in front of these three maids, she couldn't give birth to a little confidence.
Rui Xue has been in Changyuanbo's Mansion for so long, and she is most familiar with these three people.
Zhixia is Ye Qingning's personal maid, so she is naturally not a good candidate. The winter goose has a calm temperament and few words, even if he asks, he probably can't ask anything. After thinking about it, I can only start from Ruyue.
Ruyue stood for a long time, probably wanting to go to the toilet, and quietly retreated.
Ruixue peeked into the air and quietly retreated. Waited for a moment. Ruyue really came over. Rui Xue greeted him with a smile and said in a low voice: "The masters are talking, and it is estimated that they will not disperse for a while." The two of us just stayed here and breathed in for a while. ”
This remark is exactly what Ruyue wants, and she responded with a smile. The two of them stood under the corridor and chatted a few words without words.
Rui Xue was thinking about how to open her mouth, when she heard Ruyue laugh in a low voice: "Yesterday in the Dingguo Mansion was really eye-opening. I've heard of Gu Sigongzi's reputation before, and it's the first time I've seen his true face with my own eyes! Sure enough, it's amazing. A few young masters in our house are not bad, but they are far worse than him. ”
Sure enough, it's a gossip who loves to gossip.
Rui Xue was overjoyed, and nodded in agreement as a pretending to be concerned. A hint of girlish longing flashed in her eyes: "If you have the opportunity to serve such a master in this life, it will not be in vain to come to this world." ”
There was a deep meaning in what she said, and Ruyue suddenly smiled: "Don't be delusional." Even like Miss Six, Gu Sigongzi still can't look down on her. Not to mention the master of the two of us. At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
If the maids want to get a good way out, most of them have to rely on their masters. The master is married. It is not difficult for a personal girl to find a good future. In this way, she has some chances.
But Ruixue is different. is such a sick master, and he is a three-room concubine, even if he has a clever temperament and a sharp mouth, he has no backer after all. What kind of family can you marry in the future...... It's hard to say.
Ruixue saw the trace of disdain in Ruyue's eyes clearly. A wave of anger rose in his heart. Forced himself to press it down, and smiled quietly: "Sister Ruyue." You seem to know a lot about this Gu Gongzi! ”
"Of course." Ruyue blinked proudly: "I have served the old lady before, and I have heard a lot of secrets about the aristocratic families in the capital. ”
Rui Xue looked at Ruyue with blank eyes: "Good Ruyue, can you tell me something." I'm really curious about this Gu Gongzi. A look of longing and anticipation greatly satisfied Ruyue's vanity.
Ruyue's eyes rolled, and she laughed: "You little hoof, you have only seen it once, and you have taken out your heart." I advise you to rest your thoughts as soon as possible. I don't know how many people love Gu Sigongzi, and where will I get you. ”
Rui Xue was ridiculed and held back her sulk, but she still accompanied her smiling face and rubbed it for a long time, Ruyue finally said everything she knew:
"Gu Gongzi is the fourth in the Dingguo Mansion, and there are two cousins and a cousin above. He was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, he was literate and read at the age of four, he was able to write poems and paintings at the age of eight, and he won the first place in the township examination at the age of twelve, and his name was all over the capital. I don't know how many aristocratic ladies secretly have a crush on him. Even Prime Minister Luo's daughter Luo Miaoyin admires him. However, he was unmoved, do you know why? Because he likes a distant cousin who grew up with his childhood sweetheart......"
Ruixue cheered up, pricked up her ears, and wrote down what Ruyue said word for word.
Just as he was talking, Zhixia came over, and when he saw the two of them lazy in the corridor, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I can catch the two of you, if you don't go in to serve, you dare to be lazy and chat here, and see if I don't sue you later." ”
Rui Xue's heart jumped, lest Ruyue say something that shouldn't be said, so she hurriedly said, "Let's go in." He pulled Ruyue and walked inside.
Zhixia didn't suspect anything, smiled and left.
Rui Xue couldn't help but be a little excited with the news she had just heard. Ye Qinglan seemed to notice something, and glanced at Rui Xue quietly.
Rui Xue quickly understood what her master meant, and hurriedly lowered her head. secretly thinking in his heart, when he got out of Changhetang, he found time to tell Ye Qinglan about the matter.
I didn't think about it, but the Jiang family left Ye Qinglan and others to have lunch in Changhetang today.
Ye Sheng didn't come back at noon, they were all female dependents. Ordinary family banquets are not so exquisite, so there is no division of seats, and the old and young sit around a table, which is also very lively.
Chiang sat at the top, with Zheng and Li sitting beside him. Ye Qingning was next to the Zheng family, followed by Ye Qinglan. Ye Qingrou sat next to Li.
Cui Wan didn't sit down, and stood beside Zheng's side with a smile and a smile to prepare vegetables for Zheng's.
Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't stand here anymore, sit down and eat hot food, otherwise the food will be cold later." Let the winter geese do these things. ”
Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "It's better for me to come." ”
Zheng didn't say anything more. Cui Wan waited until Zheng put her chopsticks aside, then sat down in a hurry and ate a few bites casually. At this time, the food is cold, and the taste is inevitably inferior. Cui Wan kept smiling, and there was no dissatisfaction on her face. Apparently long accustomed to it.
Looking at the commonplace expressions of everyone present, it is clear that they are also very accustomed to it.
Although Ye Qinglan looked uncomfortable, she was not qualified to say anything, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Being a daughter-in-law is much harder than being a daughter.
Cui Wan was born in a famous family, and she is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the long house, so why is it not held in the palm of her hand like a treasure at home? can be a daughter-in-law, but she has to abide by a bunch of rules, and she has to be more cautious in doing things, and she can't make any mistakes.
Judging from the contact in the past few days, Cui Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law, behaved in front of the Zheng family, and she didn't even dare to make a joke. It can be seen that it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law......
Jiang was accustomed to taking a nap, so after lunch, he chatted casually, and everyone dispersed.
Ye Qingning still remembered what he promised Ye Qinglan yesterday, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to practice with me?" It just so happens that Mrs. Zeng came over today, so you can go back to Huancui Pavilion with me now. ”
Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile.
Ye Qingrou heard the conversation between the two with a sharp ear, and glanced at Ye Qinglan with envy and jealousy. She has always envied Ye Qingning for being taught by a well-known piano master like Zeng Niangzi, and she has expressed her desire to learn the piano together more than once. But Ye Qingning always ignores it. It's good now, I agreed to Ye Qinglan so lightly......
Ye Qinglan turned a blind eye to the two cold swishing glances, and left with a smile and Ye Qingning. Zheng looked at the two of them without hiding their intimate figures, with a thoughtful expression.
Cui Wan knew Zheng's temper well, and smiled intentionally or unintentionally: "Since the tenth sister stayed in the mansion, Qing Ning has been much more lively than before. ”
Yes, no matter what, it is always a fact that Ye Qingning is more lively and happy than before. Even if he knew that Ye Qinglan was deliberately currying favor, why bother?
Zheng smiled, and suddenly said meaningfully: "You are good to Sister Lan." "Cui Wan won't be so good to a person for no reason!
Cui Wan saw that she couldn't hide it from the Zheng family, but she didn't hide it, and said with a low smile: "I can't hide anything from you." At my grandfather's birthday banquet last time, my mother came to celebrate her birthday, met Sister Lan, and had a good impression of her. I also want to take advantage of this time to observe her character! ”
Smart people don't need to speak too clearly. Zheng Shi suddenly knew the meaning of the song and smiled silently. She guessed correctly, Cui Wan was for the younger brother in the family who was not yet married......
"You have to think about it, if you really mean this, you have to discuss it with your third uncle earlier." Zheng naturally omitted Xue's and did not mention it.
With Xue's temper, where is he willing to give such a good family affair to Ye Qinglan, I am afraid that as soon as I hear this rumor, I will have to take Ye Qingfu out.
Cui Wan heard the meaning of Zheng's words, and nodded with a smile. After thinking about it, he whispered again: "Speaking of which, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”――
