After Ren Yaoyin came to Yunyang City this time, she often came to the Yun family in the name of talking about poetry and poetry with Yun Qiuchen, she herself has a bit of talent, and she deliberately welcomes Yun Qiuchen without a trace, and the friendship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds.

The Yun family spared no effort in cultivating Yun Qiuchen, and she often had to help with the banquet guests on weekdays, so the Ren family came to five young ladies as guests today, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Yun Qiuchen led a few people to sit in the living room, and exchanged salutes with each other.

"I should have invited you here as soon as possible, but unfortunately I have to help my mother with tomorrow's gold banquet recently, and I have not been available." Yun Qiuchen said to Ren Yaoyin apologetically.

Ren Yaoyin hurriedly said: "I should have thought that you were going to be busy recently, but it was actually mine." I wonder if I delayed your business today? ”

Yun Qiuchen shook his head: "There is nothing to do today, and the rest of my mother and two aunts will be arranged." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ren Yaoqi, and said softly, "Sister Yaoqi hasn't been seen for a few days?" I have been asking Yaoyin to invite you to come over to play, and Yaoyin said that you have to go to Yanbei Wangfu every day to accompany the county lord to practice. I wonder how the county lord's piano practice is? ”

Ren Yaochi said with a smile: "The county lord has been working hard recently, and I heard from the gentleman who taught the piano that he has made great progress. ”

Yun Qiuchen smiled when he heard this: "That's good." ”

Afraid that the other girls of the Ren family would feel left out, Yun Qiuchen asked Ren Yaohua and the others one by one. Ren Yaoqi found that Yun Qiuchen had some understanding of the preferences of several sisters of the Ren family, and when he talked to them, he consciously or unintentionally picked their favorite topics, and he didn't know if he knew about it from Ren Yaoyin's mouth or if he had some understanding before they came.

From this point of view, Ren Yaoqi had to sigh at Yun Qiuchen's heart, as well as the Yun family's education of Yun Qiuchen. I heard that the Yun family was cultivating Yun Qiuchen as the next princess of Yanbei, and it was not groundless.

Next, Yun Qiuchen talked to them about the Golden Banquet again, and several girls from the Ren family participated in the Golden Banquet for the first time, so they all listened very seriously.

Although the Thousand Golden Banquets were all organized by the Yun family, the place where the Thousand Golden Banquets were held was provided by the Yanbei Palace. Because the famous ladies of Yanbei who came to participate in the golden banquet were the best in Yanbei, and the banquet lasted for three days. Only Yanbei Wangfu has such a big place.

This year, the place arranged by Yanbei Wangfu is the hot spring villa of Sun Moon Spring, which is the place where Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua met Lei Paner last time.

Ren Yaoying was also very active today, and when she heard Yun Qiuchen talk about the hot springs of Sun Moon Spring, she said, "Last time, I went there with the third sister and the fifth sister." It's a pity that I didn't see the hot spring villa of Yanbei Wangfu, nor did I see Sun Moon Spring. ”

Yun Qiuchen explained warmly: "The hot spring villa of Yanbei Wangfu does not accept outsiders on weekdays, and the Sun Moon Spring is surrounded in the villa, which is named after two hot springs, one large and one small. Tomorrow, I can take you to see the Sunyao Spring. ”

Ren Yaoyin said with interest: "Riyao Spring is the 'Ri' Spring, right?" What kind of spring is the 'moon' spring? ”

"The big one is called Riyao Spring, and the small one is called Yuehua Spring, but I haven't seen Yuehua Spring either. Presumably it was used by the princess and princess for bathing. ”

Several people were chatting happily, and Yun Qiuchen's eldest girl, Nanzhu, came over and whispered a few words in Yun Qiuchen's ear.

Yun Qiuchen's face remained unchanged, and after Nanzhu finished speaking, she smiled and said to everyone: "I just invited the second sister and the third sister to come, it is boring for us to sit in this courtyard, why don't we move to the water pavilion?" ”

As soon as Yun Qiuchen said this, naturally no one had an opinion, got up and followed Yun Qiuchen to the Water Pavilion, and met Yun Qiuping, the second miss of the Yun family, and Yun Qiufang, the third miss of the Yun family, halfway through.

Yun Qiuchen introduced several ladies of the Ren family to the two young ladies of the Yun family. are all called cousins, and they greeted each other all the way to the water pavilion.

The Yun family's house is generally dignified and atmospheric, and even the garden used to show the face that large families have always paid attention to is also decent, only rigorous but not fancy. At the half-moon-shaped pond in the garden, a water pavilion is exquisitely repaired. Very elegant. In summer, the windows on all sides of the pavilion are wide open, like a waterfront pavilion. When you are in the water pavilion, you will feel a fresh breeze blowing on your face, which is cool and pleasant.

"The second sister and the third sister will entertain a few cousins for me. I'll go see how the refreshments are ready. After everyone sat down, Yun Qiuchen said with a smile.

Yun Qiufang glanced at Yun Qiuchen and pulled the corners of her mouth. showed a smile: "The eldest sister said this, it can be seen, the third sister and I are the masters, and several cousins of the Ren family are guests, don't you say that we should also entertain us, could it be that in the eldest sister's heart, only one of them is the Miss Yun family?" ”

Although Yun Qiufang was also laughing along the way, it was obvious that it was just out of politeness and politeness, and her face was not very good-looking if she looked closely. At this time, he grabbed Yun Qiuchen's words, and couldn't help but use the topic to play.

The Ren sisters also heard that there was something wrong with Yun Qiufang's words, but no one thought they had heard it.

Yun Qiuchen has excellent cultivation, and he was not the slightest annoyed by Yun Qiufang's stab, he only smiled and nodded at everyone, and then took his two big girls out of the house.

After leaving the water pavilion, Yun Qiuchen stopped, frowned slightly and asked the eldest girl Nanzhu: "Mother has returned?" ”

Nanzhu bowed her head and said, "Yes, Miss, as soon as Mrs. Gu comes, you will ask me to send someone to find the eldest lady to come back, the eldest lady has just entered the mansion and has gone to the old lady's yard." ”

Yun Qiuchen nodded, looking at the pond in front of him with slightly closed eyes. The two big maids knew that their young lady must be thinking about things, and they didn't bother, and they all stood quietly behind her.

Halfway, Yun Qiuchen asked, "Did the people sent to investigate hear what my aunt and grandmother said?" ”

"Last time, because the housekeeper in the old lady's yard received the third lady's silver, she copied a copy of the Yun family's ancestral medicinal recipe, and the old lady had a group of people, and several big maids were also released. Only a second-class maid went in to deliver tea when she heard Mrs. Gu mention the horse farm. ”

"The Su family's horse farm on the border?" Yun Qiuchen was a little surprised.

"Didn't Mrs. yesterday say that the Su family's horse farm suffered heavy losses this time because of the invasion of the party? Presumably, Mrs. Gu came back to talk to the old lady about this. ”

Yun Qiuchen groaned slightly: "This is the Su family's family matter, my aunt will not come back to the Yun family to complain about this matter, and she has also retired everyone, there must be other things." ”

"Then the slave will send someone to inquire again?"

Yun Qiuchen shook his head: "Forget it, since my mother has returned, let's wait for news from my mother." ”

"Also, Mrs. has never hidden from Miss, and if there is anything, she will definitely tell Miss."

The other big girl, Yinzhu, was younger. Without Nanzhu's calm and sophisticated, he couldn't help but say: "Our Yun family is Mrs. Gu's maiden family, Mrs. Gu shouldn't come back to calculate her own family, right?" Yinzhu felt that both the eldest lady and the young lady were a little wary of the aunt who married into the Su family.

Yun Qiuchen didn't get angry when she saw the maid ask this, and only said lightly: "As a woman, she obeys her father at home, her husband when she marries, and her husband obeys her son when she dies." Although her aunt's surname is Yun, it is the Su family who will offer her incense a hundred years later. ”

Yinzhu thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she didn't dare to say more.

Nanzhu couldn't help but think of it. The current Princess Yanbei is also the aunt wife of the Yun family, and she has always put the interests of the Yanbei Mansion first. Even the old lady hinted in front of the princess several times that she wanted the eldest prince to marry the county lord, but the princess was blocked by the princess on the grounds that the princess's marriage should be decided by the princess.

"Follow the father at home, marry the husband, and follow the son when the husband dies", the Yun family has always taught women like this, which is a family rule of the Yun family for their children.

"Miss, do you want to let Mrs. arrange a few more people in the old lady's yard?" South Pearl Road.

Yun Qiuchen thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it." Grandmother is taboo about this now. ”

Yinzhu pursed her lips: "If you want to say that the third wife and the third lady really have a mother, they must have a daughter." Last time, if it wasn't for the third wife who wanted to steal the Yun family's medicinal recipe, it wouldn't have caused the two sisters in the old lady's room to be affected. She is not ignorant of the ancestral recipes of the Yun family, and has always only passed on the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest daughter. The third lady is too, and she embarrassed you in front of the guests today, isn't it just that the old lady has only handed over a few ladies and young ladies to you. Didn't you let her and the second miss interfere? I don't look at what I can ...... myself."

"Silver beads." Nanzhu saw that Yinzhu was getting smoother and smoother the more she spoke, and immediately stopped it.

Yinzhu realized that he had talked too much, and he had just arranged the master. couldn't help but glance at Yun Qiuchen cautiously. She is also upset with her own young lady, and the third young lady Yun Qiufang has always liked to sneer at Yun Qiuchen recently, that is, Miss Yun is unwilling to deal with her. But a few of their maids couldn't swallow this breath.

Yun Qiuchen glanced at Yinzhu. sighed lightly and said to Nanzhu: "She is young and anxious, you can teach her more in the future." There are some things that can be thought about but not said, some things that can be done but not said, and many times if you can't say it, don't say it. Misfortune comes from the mouth, and if you say too much, you will lose. ”

Nanzhu and Yinzhu both lowered their heads and said yes.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the path in the garden, and someone was coming this way.

Yun Qiuchen frowned, and when he looked back, he saw Yun Wenfang, the second son of Yun, walking out quickly from behind a bush, Yun Qiuchen couldn't help but loosen his brows, and said with a smile: "Second brother? What are you doing here? ”

Yun Wenfang saw that Yun Qiuchen was only here with two maids, and couldn't help but be stunned, then glanced at the water pavilion, raised his eyebrows and said, "What?" You can't come to me? When I woke up in the morning, I heard the sparrow calling, should it be a visitor? ”

Yinzhu snorted: "Second son, it's 'magpie calling, guest coming', right?" ”

Yun Qiuchen knew Yun Wenfang's thoughts, glanced at him, and saw that he was a little absent-minded, so he sighed: "Second brother, my second sister and third sister are entertaining several cousins of the Ren family. ”

After a pause, Yun Qiuchen said softly, "The visitors are guests, and they are all girls, you will see you later, you need to pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

Yun Qiuchen heard about the last time Yun Wen stopped Miss Ren Wu in Yanbei Palace, and originally thought that he would apologize to Miss Ren Wu for this second brother today. I don't want Yunwen to let himself over, I guess I can't get rid of it, so I can only think that I must take a good look at this reckless second brother on weekdays and prevent him from causing trouble.

Yun Wenfang tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The young master looks hateful?" You're also afraid of scaring the guests. ”

Yun Qiuchen knew that the second brother's temperament was not very easy to get along with, but she and Yun Wenfang were compatriots of the same mother, and she was also really planning for him, so she could only persuade him gently: "Second brother, you know that I don't mean that." I understand your thoughts, but if you are still as reckless as you were last time in Yanbei Palace, I am afraid that the most reckless queen will not only not be able to get what you want, but will push people farther and farther. ”

Yun Wen snorted lightly, his face slightly cold.

Yun Qiuchen was not afraid of him, and continued to persuade: "Take the matter of the last time you gave her a painting, if she accepted your painting, wouldn't she give it privately?" As far as I have seen the few times I have been in contact with her, Miss Ren Wu is definitely a dignified and decent lady. How could she take your stuff and ruin her reputation? ”

Yun Wenfang was a little irritable: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?" ”

Yun Qiuchen wanted to say that marriage has always been the order of her parents, and it is her turn to make her own decisions, but she knew that this second brother must be impatient to listen to this, so she could only say euphemistically: "Miss Ren Wu can't be her own master, instead of running into a wall with her, it is better to work your mother and grandmother." ”

Yun Wenfang frowned: "Didn't grandmother already promise that my wife would be chosen by herself?" ”

Yun Qiuchen was a little helpless when she heard this, her second brother was smart and smart, but she really didn't know anything about the affairs of the inner house. Where is the second young master of the Yun family's family affairs so simple? Grandmother said it was up to him to decide, but just coaxed him. The candidate for the partial house can be as he likes, but it is impossible for a wife to be a wife.

But Yun Qiuchen didn't dare to say this to him at this time, lest he make a fuss in the mansion.

Yun Wenfang finally listened to his sister's words, thinking that Ren Yaoqi was angry at his avoidance attitude, and also felt that his actions were really as they said.

Yun Er Gongzi didn't know what to say, there were really people who were beating his idea of marriage at this time.

After Mrs. Yun came back from outside, she went to the old lady's courtyard, let people go in and reported, and Mrs. Yun let her into the main room.

When Mrs. Yun Da went in, she happened to hear Mrs. Su saying, "...... Fangfei is your granddaughter, and you and your sister-in-law watched grow up, and I don't need to say much about her character. Wen put this kid ......"

Mrs. Su said this, just in time to see Mrs. Yun come in. couldn't help but stop talking, got up from the south kang, and called affectionately: "Sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Yun was obedient and only heard this sentence, and she didn't know what kind of medicine Mrs. Su was selling in her gourd. smiled and returned the salute, and asked Mrs. Yun for peace.

Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Su were both sitting on the south kang in the West House. Mrs. Yun sat down on the chair that the maid had moved.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you came just in time, I was about to find someone to call you." Even if Mrs. Yun is sitting on her own kang with her daughter, her back is straight.

Mrs. Yun Da bowed her head and said, "I don't know what my mother commands?" ”

Old Lady Yun glanced at Mrs. Su and said in a rambling voice, "Shuhe wants to talk to you about Fang'er's family affairs." ”

Mrs. Yunda was shocked. Thinking of the two sentences I heard when I came in, could it be that the Su family wanted to marry Su Fangfei to their son? Although the eldest wife of the Su family is the daughter of the Yun family, she has a grudge between the old princess of Yanbei Mansion and Mrs. Yun. The Su Yun family has never been all the way.

What does the Su family mean by this?

Mrs. Yun raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady, wanting to see her attitude towards this matter from the old lady Yun. But Mrs. Yun didn't show any emotion on her face, and she really couldn't see whether she was in favor of or against this marriage.

Mrs. Yun Da could only smile and said: "With the mother and father here, the second elder is naturally in charge of the family affairs of the child." ”

When Mrs. Yun heard this, she said, "What do you think of this kid Fang Fei?" ”

Su Fangfei, the eldest lady of the Su family, is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Su and the granddaughter of Mrs. Yun, so Mrs. Yun naturally can't say that Su Fangfei is bad: "Fangfei is outstanding, kind and good-looking, excellent." ”

Mrs. Su smiled when she heard this, and looked at Mrs. Yun again.

Mrs. Yun also looked at Mrs. Yun, although Mrs. Yun asked her opinion, but she also knew that the family affairs of her son were not up to her, and it still depended on the meaning of Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun. Although she didn't want to marry the daughter of the Su family.

Mrs. Yun didn't seem to see that her daughter and daughter-in-law were waiting for her to express her opinion, so she leisurely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said to Mrs. Yun: "The tea is cold, let people come in and change it." ”

Mrs. Yunda answered.

After the tea was changed, Mrs. Yun took the tea bowl handed over by Mrs. Yun herself, skimmed the tea foam, and said lightly: "It's rare to come back, stay for lunch." ”
