Chapter 150: Conflict
There are a lot of rooms in the Huancui Pavilion, but they are basically empty all year round, and there have never been guests.
The reason is very simple, because Ye Qingning doesn't like to live with people. Even if there are guests from the house, they will not be arranged to live in the Huancui Pavilion. Unexpectedly, there are two of them now.
Zhixia instructed a few maids to clean up the guest room, and specially advised: "Remember, the one that is farther away is reserved for Miss Jiang to live in." The guest room near the lady's room is reserved for Miss Ten. When you're moving your luggage, don't make a mistake. ”
After a few maids resignedly agreed, they were busy cleaning up.
On this side, Rui Xue was also telling Gui Yuan and the others: "Slip your hands and feet a little bit, don't pack too many things." I'll be back in a few days at most. "Since this Miss Jiang is here as a guest, she shouldn't stay for too long. As soon as Miss Jiang leaves, her own young lady will be able to return to Hefeng Courtyard soon.
A few maids responded together. Among them, Ying'er's expression was the most cheerful. She was originally the maid next to Ye Qingning, and she stayed in Huancui Pavilion for two years. is very familiar with Huancui Pavilion, and going to Huancui Pavilion is like a fish in water for her.
These trivial matters are handled by the maids, but Ye Qinglan has nothing to do. After the luggage was packed, Ye Qinglan led a few maids to Huancui Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qinglan noticed that something was wrong.
Ye Qingning frowned, and his pretty face sank slightly. Zhixia stood aggrievedly aggrieved, his eyes glistening. On the other side, it was Jiang Ying with a smile on her face. Behind Jiang Ying stood several maids, as well as a familiar face. It was Jiang's mother by her side.
This mother Lu was Jiang's dowry maid back then, and she has been Jiang's right-hand man for so many years. Even Li and the others were polite when they saw her.
What's going on in front of you?
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning was obviously in a bad mood and didn't react much.
Jiang Ying smiled politely at Ye Qinglan, Ye Qinglan never refused to be rude, and returned with a more polite smile. I was still secretly thinking about it. What was it that made Ye Qingning so unhappy?
Mother Lu broke the silence with a cough: "Miss Six." The old slave was ordered to send Miss Biao over, and the person had already been delivered, so the old slave would return to Changhetang to resume his life......"
"Mother Lu, please wait a moment," Ye Qingning said with a smile: "The maid next to me treated Cousin Ying slowly, because I, the master, didn't train well." If my grandmother asked, she said that I would go and plead guilty. ”
Zhixia glanced at Ye Qingning with gratitude and shame. Although Ye Qingning, the master, has a cloudy temper and is not easy to serve. But it is the most protective short, no matter what mistakes the maids around him make, they will protect it with all their might. For this point, she has no complaints even if she suffers more grievances......
Mother Lu naturally knew Ye Qingning's temper. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Ying had already rushed to say, "Cousin Ning, don't say that." I just said it casually, and I didn't mean anything else. It doesn't really matter which room you stay in. I'll just live in the back row. ”
Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows, and replied with a smile: "This is absolutely unacceptable." If my grandmother had found out, she would have blamed me for neglecting Cousin Ying. It's better to ask Cousin Ying to stay in that spacious room. After a pause, he added two sentences lightly: "If Cousin Ying is not used to living in a guest room, she simply lives in my room." I stayed in the guest room with my tenth sister. ”
The last two fluttering words are full of sarcasm. Even if Jiang Ying pretends to be stupid again. It was impossible not to hear this thick mockery, and the smile on his face suddenly couldn't hold back.
When Ye Qinglan heard this, she naturally understood what was going on.
Zhixia instructed the maid to clean up the two guest rooms and arrange Jiang Ying in the back row, which was a little remote. The other spacious one was reserved for her. After Jiang Ying knew about this, she was obviously not happy. said a few words in front of Ye Qingning. Mother Lu relied on the old and sold the old to take advantage of the situation and left Zhixia a few words. Zhixia was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to tell a word.
Mother Lu and Jiang Ying sang and harmonized like this, where are they talking about Zhixia. It is clearly blocking Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning had never suffered such idleness. finally couldn't help but sneer.
It turned out that Ye Qingning's tongue was as sharp and mean as ever, Jiang Ying was not her opponent at all, and her face was flushed. No matter how old Lu's mother is, she is just a subordinate after all. Seeing that Ye Qingning was angry, he stopped his mouth in amusement.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
Ye Qinglan broke the silence with a smile: "It's just a little thing." Don't disturb your grandmother's peace for the sake of such a trivial matter. Cousin Ying, you should stay in that spacious room! I just stayed in the back row of rooms. ”
Jiang Ying had no choice but to step down and thank her with a smile: "Thank you, Tenth Sister." ”
Ye Qinglan glanced at Zhixia. Zhixia hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve and stepped forward to apologize to Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying pretended to smile generously: "Okay, it's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart." ”
Mother Lu also smiled and echoed a few words, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased a little.
Ye Qingning pulled the corners of his lips with a smile, but he never spoke again.
In fact, with Ye Qingning's temper, it was not bad to be able to remain silent at this time. If it weren't for the Jiang family, she would never have let Jiang Ying go so easily.
After Lu's mother left, Jiang Ying also went to the guest room to settle down. There were only two left in the house, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qingning stiffened her pretty face, her eyes were cold, and she said with a sneer: "If it weren't for my grandmother's face, I would never let her have a good time today." It's just a concubine in Jiangfu, and she really takes herself seriously. If it was in normal times, she wouldn't even look at Jiang Ying more.
Speaking of which, it's really no wonder that Ye Qingning doesn't want to see Jiang Ying so much. Ye Qingning is the serious daughter of Changyuan Bofu, her maternal ancestor is Zheng Guogong, her cousin is a British duke, plus her aunt who entered the palace as a concubine, and her aunt who is the wife of the prince of Dingguo, her vision is not a star. The Jiang family is just an ordinary eunuch's house, and Jiang Ying is just a concubine, and on weekdays, the proud Ye Qingning doesn't bother to associate with Jiang Ying at all.
But now, Jiang Ying relied on the support of the Jiang family and lived in Huancui Pavilion in a bright and bright manner, not to mention, she dared to be embarrassed in front of her...... Hum! She wrote down this Liangzi!
Ye Qinglan smiled and soothed: "The sixth sister has a lot, so don't worry about her." In the future, I will live under the same roof, and I will not see anyone when I look up and look down, and if I make it too stiff, it will be difficult to explain to my grandmother. ”
Ye Qingning replied stupidly: "If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have driven her away just now." "Although she has never liked Jiang's grandmother very much, but elders are elders, so she can't really make trouble in front of Jiang's for this little thing!
Besides, the Jiang family's current focus is on getting this Jiang Ying into the mansion. Everything must be towards Jiang Ying. It's not interesting to make trouble in front of the Jiang family.
Ye Qinglan saw that Ye Qingning was not happy, and coaxed Ye Qingning with a smile for a long time.
Ye Qingning's anger passed, his mood finally calmed down, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "Zhixia, you let someone clean up a guest room again and come out for the tenth sister to live in." "The room in the back row is not small, but it doesn't have a lot of light.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled: "No need, I'll live in that room." Anyway, I'll just stay for a few days and go back to Hefeng Temple. "Besides, if there is such a fuss just now, no matter how hard you clean up the guest room, it will definitely alarm Jiang Ying. Won't there be another turmoil when the time comes?
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment and sighed. The dissatisfaction in my heart is gathering more and more. This Jiang Ying, everyone who responded to the diaphragm on the first day of coming was uncomfortable. If you become the eldest brother's concubine, won't there be no time to stop in the future?
No, Jiang Ying must not be allowed to get her wish!
The Jiang clan deliberately stuffed Jiang Ying into the Huancui Pavilion, didn't he just want to take the opportunity to let Jiang Ying get close to Ye Yuanwei? Hmph, she just didn't give Jiang Ying this chance!
Ye Qingning's eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea, and smiled at Ye Qinglan: "I suddenly feel unwell, and I don't want to go out these days." Don't be bored with me. ”
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to her senses, and suddenly laughed dumbly.
That's a good idea. Ye Yuanwei is busy with official business every day, and there are not many opportunities to meet his family. Ye Qingning pretended to be sick and didn't go out, and Jiang Ying could only stay in the Huancui Pavilion, so naturally there was no chance to contact Ye Yuanwei.
It's just that Ye Qingning was fine in the morning, but he was "sick" in a blink of an eye, and anyone could see that something was wrong. Not to mention the shrewd Chiang.
"Sixth sister, grandmother is not easy to fool." Ye Qinglan lowered her voice and said, "It doesn't matter if you pretend to be sick, what if she finds a doctor to give you a pulse?" "It's going to be really ugly.
Ye Qingning smiled and furrowed his brows in annoyance: "Then what should I do?" I don't want to lead that Jiang Ying to see my eldest brother. ”
Every morning, when I went to ask for peace for the Zheng family, I often met Ye Yuanwei. If he came back early in the evening, Ye Yuanwei would also stay in Luomei Courtyard to eat. If Jiang Ying follows her every day, there are many opportunities to see Ye Yuanwei.
Ye Qinglan couldn't think of a good way for a while, and stared at Ye Qingning with wide eyes.
Ye Qingning had a flash of inspiration and said with great interest: "I have an idea." I didn't cover the quilt tonight, and stood in front of the window in the middle of the night...... "If you can't pretend to be sick, then you'll be really sick!"
"Stop, stop!" Ye Qinglan interrupted Ye Qingning with tears and laughter: "What kind of bad idea are you?" If the eldest aunt knew, it would be strange not to be angry. "No matter what, you can't toss your body wantonly!
Ye Qingning sighed dejectedly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do!" Are you being taken advantage of? The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't bear it.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed, and she smiled slowly: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, come here with your ears!" ”
