"General's Mansion?" After the girl in the pink skirt heard this, the contempt in her eyes receded a little, but she twisted her eyebrows slightly, "Isn't there no school-age lady in the General's Mansion?" ”

"Miss Hui, it should be the one who was brought into Beijing from another family, it seems to be a young lady born in a merchant with the surname Ran."

The maid had a condescension similar to that of her master in her eyes, and although she was a slave herself, she was as arrogant as a noble lady.

When the girl in the pink skirt heard this, she lost interest, it turned out to be a businesswoman with a small household and a phoenix? How crude does that have to be?

"What do you think of the Duke of Qi, even such a person is invited in, if it weren't for the name of the Duke of Qi, I wouldn't want to surrender my identity and be at the same banquet as such a person."

The girl in the pink skirt didn't want to walk into the cool platform with the merchant girl sent by the general's mansion, so she didn't even have the idea of taking a look, and took the lead in stepping into the mansion, but she didn't know that behind her, because of the commotion caused by Ran Qiunian's arrival.

"Miss, it's already here, I'll help you down."

Xiugu's voice came from outside, Ran Qiu responded, the carriage curtain was lifted, she bowed her head slightly, leaned over and walked out of the carriage, and waited until her feet were on the ground before she noticed the movement around her.

"Who is that girl, why haven't you seen it?"

"It looks so angry, it can't be a county lord, right?"

"Which county lord in the capital hasn't seen it? Once you've seen it, you'll never forget it. You can see that the accessories on her head are so chic, I have never seen such a pattern. ”

A few of the younger ladies couldn't help but whisper to each other, and on the other side, a pair of sisters stepped out of the carriage.

Noticing the commotion caused here, he glanced at it, but at a glance he recognized the pattern of the General's Mansion embroidered on the carriage behind Ran Qiunian.

"It's no wonder that many people in Beijing can't distinguish the patterns of carriages and horses in the General's Mansion, and whoever makes my aunt's family have no school-age nobles to come to the gathering among these young ladies in Beijing."

The younger one between the two sisters covered her mouth and smiled, but after laughing, she had to admit that Miss Ran, who was specially asked by the old lady of the Gu family to take care of her, was indeed very beautiful.

"This time, Anyang Houfu's Anqi Luo will also come, when I see this Miss Ran, I'm afraid that I will be very jealous, I see how she still has the face to claim to be the first beauty in Beijing."

The Lin family sisters watched from afar, and saw that Ran Qiunian was already going in first, so they were not in a hurry to chase after each other now.

Except for the two of them, the rest of the people couldn't help but look at Ran Qiunian frequently, either curious and suspicious, or jealous and hostile, but Ran Qiunian turned a deaf ear.

After she stood still, she took a step without squinting, and walked into the Qingliangtai with Aunt Xiu and a few other maids of the General's Mansion that Old Madam Gu had assigned to her.

Xiu Gu handed the post in her hand to the maid in the door, the maid took the post, opened it and took a look, and after seeing the seal of the Qi State Mansion, she called someone to take Ran Qiunian and his party in.

The latter lady who handed over the post took the opportunity to ask, "Who was that just now?" ”

"Fang is Miss Ran from the General's Mansion."

Those who can come to participate in the tea party of the Guogong Mansion are either rich or expensive, how dare the little maid offend, she has to answer her questions, and now everyone knows the origin of Ran Qiunian.

But new doubts arose: "Isn't the General's Mansion surnamed Gu?" Where did a young lady surnamed Ran come from? ”

It's the season of late summer and early autumn, and although there is still a trace of heat, it is harmless in the eyes of those who know how to enjoy it in the capital.

As soon as Ran Qiunian stepped into the Qingliangtai, he knew why the Qingliangtai of the Qi State Mansion had such a great reputation and became a scene in the capital.

This green forest, five steps, one pavilion, ten steps and one pavilion, can be used to paint the brush, but it is nothing.

The most amazing thing is that between the rockery and green forests, there is a clear murmuring stream that gurgles over the ears, and the heat is not seen at all. But if you deliberately look for it, but you don't see a trace of water, it's unusual.

"The Mansion of Qi is worthy of being a profound foundation, rich in the world, and such a handiwork can be taken out by the Mansion of Qi State."

Ran Qiunian's eyes were a little amazed at the right time, and he was boasting on his lips, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

"Miss is right, although the style of extravagance and enjoyment prevails in Beijing, but those who can build a cool platform are except Your Majesty, which is our Qi State Mansion."

The maid who led the way did not look very old, and she was easily taken away, and said with a smug expression.

Ran Qiunian looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and glanced at the rare and exotic grasses that could be seen everywhere around him, the Qi State Mansion was really rich, but where did all this silver come from?

After she married into the Guogong Mansion in her previous life, although she was squeezed out by jealousy everywhere, Qi Ruoyun initially coaxed her for a while in order to stabilize herself, and even the royal tribute of the subject country was regarded as a gadget to make her happy.

She didn't think about it at the time, but later when something happened to the Ran family and she was placed under house arrest by the Guogong Mansion, she gradually learned some truth from Liu Yunyao's smug words.

The wealth of the Qi State Mansion has accumulated so quickly precisely because it is doing some shady business behind its back. Ran Qiunian didn't know anything more specific, but it didn't prevent her from having a good impression of the Qi family.

"Miss, it's already here."

Xiu Gu's voice sounded in her ears, and Ran Qiunian retracted her thoughts and found that they had unconsciously walked to a spacious and luxurious open-air courtyard.

There was already a little conversation inside, Ran Qiu sorted out his thoughts, calmed down, and stepped into this tea house.

With Ran Qiunian entering, the voices of people who were originally sitting or standing in the tea courtyard and gathering together to talk lively, paused for a moment, and looked at her in unison.

Ran Qiunian noticed that there was a girl in a pink skirt sitting in the middle position, her appearance was very exquisite, her clothes were all exquisite, and her surroundings were also a place where the most people gathered.

At this time, the girl in the pink skirt was unceremoniously looking her up and down, with a hostility in her eyes that made Ran Qiunian a little uncomfortable.

When Ran Qiunian saw this strange and familiar gaze, she couldn't help but deepen the smile on the corner of her mouth, she knew that she would inevitably see her today, An Qiluo from Anyang Houfu was really an "old friend".

"Which lady are you? How come I've never seen you? ”

The girl in the pink skirt is An Qiluo, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Anyang, who was surrounded by everyone and the stars holding the moon, and when she saw Ran Qiunian's beautiful face, she suddenly became a little aggressive.

In the past, she liked to participate in various gatherings between noblewomen, and there was no one in the circle of noblewomen in the capital that she didn't know.

But today, only the merchant girl with a foreign surname sent by the General's Mansion is a fresh face, and An Qiluo certainly won't be able to guess Ran Qiunian's identity. But she pretended not to know, put on a lofty posture, and waited for Ran Qiu to make a fool of herself.

It was such an inexplicable hostility again, but Ran Qiunian was not surprised at all. For people like An Qiluo, she will never understand why she is full of malice towards herself when she meets for the first time.

"When I first arrived in the capital, it was natural for the girls not to recognize me, and I didn't know the sisters very well. Fortunately, at today's tea party, everyone can get together to learn tea art and take this opportunity to get acquainted. ”

This is not Splendid City, there is no grandmother by her side to protect her from time to time, but Ran Qiunian also has her own way to deal with these noble ladies who are above the top.

In his previous life, in order to integrate into their circle, he didn't put a lot of effort into it, but he didn't expect to fall into Qi Ruoyun's arms, and he put the cart before the horse in these banquets.

When she came back to her senses, the Ran family had already collapsed, but she regretted not doing it at the beginning.

But those things that were not used in the previous life, but it was convenient for her at this time, Ran Qiu looked at the aristocratic ladies present without a trace, most of them had seen it before, and Ran Qiunian understood the identity and temperament of each of them.

As Ran Qiunian expected, after he said those words, everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything, but An Qiluo was angered by Ran Qiunian's down-to-earth and generous attitude.

"It's just a country girl from a remote town, and she dares to say that she knows tea art? Don't think that just by soaking tea leaves in water and stirring them, you can claim to be a tea artist. The tea art in the capital is just afraid that the rules are not the same as those in your countryside. ”

Although Splendid City is not as prosperous as the capital, it is also the hometown of Splendid Beauty, the place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and is belittled by An Qiluo like this, not to mention Ran Qiunian, even Xiugu is a little unhappy.

Xiu Gu originally saw that An Qiluo had a contemptuous posture from above, and couldn't help frowning secretly, but after hearing her words, she couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Ran Qiunian's tea art was trained by Mama Jin herself, if even her tea art is regarded as a vulgar way, then I'm afraid that any of the young ladies here will not be able to do it.

"Presumably, this young lady must be proficient in the way of tea art, and my tea art really needs to be honed, if the tea party starts in a while, please ask this young lady to give me some advice, and I can take advantage of this to improve."

Xiu Gu thought that Ran Qiunian would directly explain that she was taught by Mama Jin and explain her exquisite tea art, but she didn't expect Ran Qiunian to never mention this, and even asked her for advice according to An Qiluo's meaning. Suddenly looked at Ran Qiunian with some confusion.

Ran Qiunian knew why An Qiluo was so ashamed to belittle her tea art, but because she was the best at it, and she once showed her tea art to the concubine in the palace, and she was highly praised.

She wants to see if the aperture on An Qiluo's head can be picked up today, Xiu Gu seemed to understand Ran Qiunian's plan, and looked at Miss An, who didn't know that she was about to lose face, with a little pity in her eyes.

"Isn't that Miss Ran, you see, I said that An Qiluo will definitely make trouble for her. Let's hurry over and help her out. ”

Miss Lin was delayed for a while, and she was late, and at the gate of the courtyard, she saw an atmosphere that seemed to hide the smell of gunpowder. Miss Lin Er pulled her sister's arm, looking eager to try.

"I look at Miss Ran's momentum, it seems that I have a bamboo in my chest, don't rush first, I'm a little curious, what kind of way has this Miss Ran thought of to deal with An Qiluo's aggressiveness."

Miss Lin stopped her sister with her backhand and looked at the two people in the courtyard with interest.
