Chapter 419: Scenery
Under the "care" of the Jiang family, the Zheng family and others, in the next few days, Ye Qinglan lived an unprecedented life in Changyuanbo's mansion.
Eating, drinking, and wearing are much better than before, and brand-new dresses and jewelry are sent every three or five days, Jiang's attitude towards her is more than ten times more cordial and easy-going, and Xue doesn't dare to show her as casually as before.
Most of the maids and ladies in the house are people who are stepping on the high and looking low and attaching themselves to the heat, so how can they not be diligent when they see this posture. Even Ruixue and other maids followed suit, and they felt like they were raising their eyebrows.
"Miss, the slave went to the storehouse today to find a vase to put the flowers. You know what? Gui Yuan's eyebrows fluttered and smiled: "The housekeeper's mother who is in charge of the treasury is still ignorant at first, as soon as she heard that the slave maid is the person next to Miss Ten, she immediately piled up a smile and took a lot of vases to pick out for the slave maid!" ”
As he spoke, Gui Yuan happily put the delicate vase with a thin neck and round mouth bottle painted with a blue orchid on the table: "Miss, look, isn't this vase very beautiful?" The slave and maid put the vase in the house, and every day she plucked some flowers from the garden and put them on the ......."
Ye Qinglan looked at the little round face with Gui Yuan's eyebrows fluttering, pursed her lips and smiled, and felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
She is not favored in the house, and the maids around her are also aggrieved everywhere. In the past, Guiyuan went to the warehouse to look for things, but the mother-in-law in charge of the warehouse always deliberately made things difficult and refused to give it. Now that the shape has changed, these housekeepers have immediately become attentive.
However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for her and the maids around her......
Just thinking about it, Ying'er also came in a hurry. smiled and held a few boxes of snacks: "Miss, this is specially sent by Xiangling next to the old lady." It was said that the old lady specially rewarded the young lady. "It doesn't matter if the dim sum is delicious or not, the important thing is the decency and the scenery. So. Ying'er's face was about to glow.
These days, such things are not uncommon, Ye Qinglan has lost her initial interest, and said with a casual smile: "Leave a little bit of each snack for me to taste, and the rest will be eaten by a few of you!" ”
With so many dim sum, where can she eat them alone. As the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, so that everyone can taste fresh.
Ying'er has been serving Ye Qinglan for a long time, and she is also familiar with her easy-going and gentle temper, and she thanked her happily. Then he went down with the snack in his hand.
Ruomei peeked into the air and flashed in. Ye Qinglan suddenly understood in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "Did Cousin Gu send me the news?" ”
Ruomei smiled and nodded, took out a paper roll from the hidden pocket in her sleeve and sent it to Ye Qinglan's hand.
For more than a month, Ye Qinglan stayed in the mansion and never left the mansion for half a step. However, the matter of her and Gu Xinian spread in the aristocratic circle, and it became the most sensational news in the capital this year. Xie Peng is still grounded, and the news that another beauty has been added to the prince's mansion, and the third princess is pregnant, which is far less shocking than the singing and crying love story between her and Gu Xinian.
Needless to say, Gu Xinian. He is the most dazzling and outstanding aristocratic son in the capital, the dream lover in the minds of almost all unmarried girls, and the best son-in-law in the eyes of aristocratic women. Because Shen Qiuyu has always been single and refuses to marry, and he does not lie to any woman who loves him. has long become a legend in the eyes of everyone. Quite a few people have secretly speculated. Will Gu Xinian go on like this and never marry a wife.
And Ye Qinglan was a little-known concubine before this incident. Barely caught everyone's attention. Now there is suddenly news that she and Gu Xinian are going to get married, and this shock is no less powerful than the power of the atomic bomb. Time. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Qinglan.
Everyone wants to see what kind of woman can capture the heart of the dignified Gu Fourth Prince!
It's a pity. After the wedding banquet in the Dingguo Mansion, Ye Qinglan never showed her face again. No matter how curious everyone is, they can't rush to Changyuanbo's mansion to see Ye Qinglan! So, some aristocratic women who had nothing to do and were curious sent invitations to Uncle Changyuan's mansion, inviting Miss Ye Shi by name to come to the door to enjoy the flowers and the like. It's a pity that Miss Ye Shi is slightly ill and is recuperating in peace, so it is inconvenient to go out of the house. The maids who came to deliver the invitations were all blocked back.
Of course, everyone knows that the so-called slight health is just an excuse. The real reason is that this Miss Ye Shi is unwilling to come out to meet people at such a sensitive time.
For Ye Qinglan's approach, Jiang and others are also in favor. The matter of marriage is just a subtle hint from Mrs. Zheng, and only when the queen's will to marry really arrives in the mansion will the dust settle. Until it's clear, it's smartest to keep a low profile.
With the acquiescence of the elders, Ye Qinglan has been "recuperating with peace of mind".
During this period, Gu Xinian sent two letters.
Once after the wedding banquet, after Sun knew what Mrs. Zheng had done, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Mrs. Zheng. Regarding this matter, Gu Xinian did not describe it in detail, only a few words. However, Ye Qinglan could guess that the commotion would not be small just by imagination.
The reason why the Sun family opposes Ye Qinglan is very simple and high-sounding, Ye Qinglan's status is low, and she is not worthy of Gu Xinian. Mrs. Zheng is completely on Gu Xinian's side, arguing with reason. The two sides were at loggerheads, and the trouble broke up.
Another time was after a month, Gu Xinian came with good news again. The Sun family has been stalemate and refused to nod, but the matter of Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan has been known to everyone, and even Queen Gu in the palace was shocked. It is said that he specially took Sun into the palace, and after the mother and daughter met and talked, Sun's attitude finally softened a lot. Although it was still very unhappy, it finally remained silent.
As for Dingguo Gong, after weighing it, he nodded and agreed to this family business.
Although Ye Qinglan trusted Gu Xinian, she didn't expect him to solve the matter so quickly and neatly. I have been immersed in joy for the past few days. The next thing she had to do was to wait patiently for the will of the marriage......
Unexpectedly, only seven or eight days later, Gu Xinian actually asked someone to send her a letter again. What will happen this time?
Ye Qinglan unfolded the paper roll and looked at it carefully.
There are two days left before Concubine Shen's birthday, and the Prince's Mansion will send someone to pick you up. There will definitely be a lot of noble ladies present that day, you don't have to worry, I will go too!
In just two sentences, Ye Qinglan looked at it for a long time. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Gu Xinian was reminding her that there would definitely be many curious and even ill-intentioned glances that day? Thinking about it further, this matter is probably not accidental, but deliberately done by Shen Qiuyu.
With Shen Qiuyu's status in the prince's mansion at the moment, even if he is not extravagant on his birthday, there will be many female dependents who will go. Judging from Shen Qiuyu's mind, it is simply impossible not to take advantage of such a rare opportunity to stumble on her......
Ruomei has a calm temperament, and has been standing quietly to the side, without much talk.
After a long time, I heard Ye Qinglan say lightly: "You go and inquire for me, whether the prince's mansion has sent an invitation." ”
Ruomei responded respectfully and quickly retreated. Before he walked out of the Hefeng Courtyard, he saw Xiangling, the maid beside the Jiang family, hurriedly walking over: "Ruomei, is Miss Ten in the house?" The old lady ordered me to invite Miss Ten to Changhetang to speak. ”
Ruomei had no choice but to turn back and report the matter to Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan snorted and got up and went to Changhetang. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Shi looking at him with a kind smile.
……
Although she had been adapting to it for more than a month, Ye Qinglan still couldn't help but shudder in her heart. A polite and gentle smile appeared on his face: "Grandmother, I don't know why you called me over?" ”
Jiang Shi smiled kindly: "The steward of the prince's mansion sent an invitation, saying that it will be Concubine Shen's birthday in three days, and specially invited you to the prince's mansion for a small gathering." I have answered for you. "Other invitations can be pushed, but this invitation can't be pushed, so I can only happily respond to it.
Jiang Shi paused, and then said: "Since you are going to the prince's mansion as a guest, you can't dress too shabby. Fortunately, a few days ago, I happened to buy you new clothes and jewelry, if there is anything missing, open your mouth to say. ”
Ye Qinglan had already been mentally prepared, and she was not surprised when she heard this, and responded respectfully: "Grandmother Lao is bothered." ”
Seeing her so calm, Jiang's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Did you already know that there would be this invitation?" "No girl should be so calm when she receives an invitation from the Prince's Mansion. Unless there was a verbal invitation before!
Ye Qinglan knew that she couldn't hide it from the Jiang family, so she simply said bluntly: "Back to my grandmother, the last time I met the queen in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Shen were also there. At that time, there was a verbal invitation. ”
Jiang's smile did not decrease, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.
This girl is too calm! I have been hiding such a thing for so long! If it were another girl, Prince Meng and Concubine Meng looked at each other differently, I was afraid that I would have been unable to shake it out and show off. But she didn't even show any of her mouth!
It's just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but this city is not inferior to an adult. In the future, if you marry into the Dingguo Mansion, it will be even more immeasurable. Perhaps, this girl will be the most promising of the granddaughters in the future......
In a short period of time, the Jiang family decided that it would be better for Ye Qinglan in the future.
Thinking like this, Jiang's smile became more kind: "You kid, what is there to hide from such a good thing." By the way, when you go to the Prince's Mansion, you have to prepare some congratulatory gifts to not be rude. I happen to have a piece of new jadeite here, and the jade quality is so good that it can be made into a bracelet or a hosta. Take this piece of jade with you! (To be continued......)
