Chapter 68: Qinlanzhai 1
"What's wrong, what's the matter?"
The old lady noticed her strangeness and asked.
Su Yexi suddenly knelt down on her knees and kowtowed deeply to the old lady, and when she raised her head, her crystal clear skin was already full of tears, which was distressing to look at.
The old lady was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Don't hide it from my grandmother, I miss my mother, I want my mother to accompany me to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings, I haven't seen her for many years, last time outside the Xunyou Garden, if I hadn't been injured by the thief, I accidentally saw my mother, I knew that my mother had a hard time, I knew that my mother had been suffering from illness, although she drank the decoction but always didn't get better, I saw that she was pale and weak, and I was really uncomfortable when I was a daughter, grandmother."
Su Yexi endured her grief and sobbed in a low voice.
Aunt Zhuang on the side wiped her red eyes and said: "Old lady, the eldest lady has been grounded in Xunyou Garden for eight years, the eldest lady has never seen her biological mother since she was five years old, and even other young ladies can stay by her mother's side since childhood...... Now the eldest lady just wants the eldest lady to accompany her to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings, and only the old lady can pity the poor eldest lady. ”
The old lady's eyes were also a little astringent, she sighed deeply, bent down to help Su Yexi up, and said, "At the beginning of this month, I will also go to Jing'an Temple to make a vow, and when the time comes, let's go together." ”
"Thank you, grandmother."
Su Yueming wiped away her tears and smiled.
"Old lady, Aunt Gu and Third Miss are here."
A little maid came in to report, and then saw Gu Qingwei and Su Xinran and others walking in.
Seeing that Su Yexi was also here, both of them had a change in their expressions, why is this little slut here!
If she is here, the old lady will not agree to what she says!
didn't have time to think about it, Gu Qingwei stepped forward and said with a smile: "The concubine asks the old lady to say goodbye, and the eldest lady asks for peace, and the eldest lady is also here."
Su Xinran tried her best to suppress her urge to hit Su Yexi when she saw her, and said with a slight salute: "Granddaughter greets grandmother."
The old lady glanced at them lightly and said, "Why are you here?" Can I help you? ”
Gu Qingwei had a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Old lady, the concubine actually came here this time to ask for the old lady's consent."
"Say it."
Gu Qingwei pretended to look sad and said sadly: "Old lady, it's like this, the concubine hasn't seen her sister for a long time, and her sister has been grounded in Xunyou Garden for eight years, and her health is not as good as before, so the concubine said that she wanted the eldest lady to accompany the concubine to Jing'an Temple to pray for her sister and bless her health as soon as possible, so she came to ask the old lady's consent."
Hearing this, the old lady laughed out loud and said lightly: "Just now Ye Xi also said that she wanted Shen Jing to accompany her to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings, and you came, and your thoughts were the same as her." ”
Aunt Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of darkness crossed the bottom of her eyes, she didn't expect this little slut to come to beg the old lady, and wanted Shen Jing to accompany her to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings, this little slut would never suddenly make such a request, could it be that she planned to take this opportunity to design for Xiang Ye to release Shen Jing, hmph, no matter what your purpose is, you will never let you get your wish!
She thought to herself, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the eldest lady to have the same thoughts as me, that's really good."
"But ......"
As she spoke, she frowned, looking tangled.
The old lady frowned, and said impatiently: "But what, you say."
Gu Qingwei sighed lightly and said: "But, after all, what happened to my sister back then, although outsiders don't know, but those abbots and monks of Jing'an Temple know that if we let my sister go with us to pray for blessings, I'm afraid it will cause a bad phenomenon."
When the words fell, Gu Qingwei glanced at Su Yexi, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.
Su Yexi, you want Shen Jing to accompany you to pray for blessings, no matter what your purpose is, I can't let you get your wish!
Hearing this, the old lady nodded, felt that there was some truth, looked at Su Yexi, and said mildly: "Xi'er, what your Aunt Gu said also has some truth, otherwise, you won't go to pray for your mother this time, grandmother promised you, when you come back, grandmother will let you meet your mother and talk well, how about it?"
Su Yexi's eyebrows drooped slightly, with a faint sadness in the corners of her eyes, and she said softly: "Granddaughters listen to grandmother."
"Well, Xi'er, it's rare that you're so sensible."
The old lady was relieved and patted her hand.
Su Yexi lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, brilliant, but with endless cold.
Back in the Ice Heart Pavilion, Su Yexi dressed up in the mirror, pulled her hair up high, and changed into a set of white robes.
"Ah, miss, you, why did you disguise yourself as a man?"
Zhihua entered the room and said in surprise.
"In the evening, I have to go out of the house, and it is inconvenient to wear a woman's clothes."
Zhihua couldn't help but wonder, and asked curiously: "Why do you want to go out at night, where is the young lady going?"
Su Yexi squinted at her lightly, took out a man's dress from the closet, threw it into her arms, and said, "Change your clothes, at night, you and I will be together."
"Huh?"
……
The night is beautiful, and the moonlight sprinkles on the high peck eaves and pavilions and verandahs in the house like frost, which more and more reflect the beauty of this prime minister's house.
"Miss, let's go out like this, okay, ...... in Nafuri"
"Don't worry, at this hour, the people in the house are basically asleep, and when we go out at this time, no one will pay attention to us."
In the room, two handsome young men were talking.
Su Yexi opened the window and looked at the sky outside, it was dark everywhere, only the spiritual glow of the moonlight sprinkled on the ground.
The two quietly walked out of the Ice Heart Pavilion and walked out of the back door smoothly.
In the middle of the night, the street of Fenglincheng is indeed brightly lit, when it is lively and noisy, the street gathers the most elegant and powerful rich people, literati and ink writers, wind and snow, lingering Qinglou, Qinlanzhai.
In addition, there are low-class cellar prostitutes, and most of the people who come and go are peddlers and pawns, and there are all three religions and nine streams.
Inside, all kinds of girls dressed up in flowers, ushered in the send-off, singing and laughing, drunk gold fans.
Fenglin City is the most famous place for fireworks in the entire Yi country.
"Little, young master, why did we come to this kind of place!"
In the crowd, Zhihua stared at the Qinglou in front of him with wide eyes, and in the plaque above, there were three big characters written impressively, Qinlanzhai.
Su Yexi closed the paper fan, picked up her chin, and teased: "Your young master, I naturally came here to do business, don't worry that I won't sell you."
"Little, young master, you! If there's anything to do in a place like this, let's go back! ”
She pulled Su Yexi, her face turned red, extremely embarrassed, all the way over, there were already several girls with a strong fat smell who wanted to pull them into the building.
Looking at their revealing clothes and demeanor, even if Zhihua was dull, he knew that this was a green building, and those girls were all fireworks women, so frightened that her voice trembled a little.
Miss is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can she come to such a filthy place!
"Go back, little painting, it's a pity to go back with such a beautiful scenery."
Su Yexi raised her chin and said something infinitely reverie.
"Young Master...... You, how can you be so frivolous. ”
Zhihua's face is full of black lines.
Su Yexi smiled indifferently and said, "Let's go, let's go in."
"Little, Miss......"
Zhihua looked unwilling, Su Yexi directly pulled her and walked in.
The building is full of drunken gold fans, laughter, this Qinlan Zhai is divided into five floors, the first floor is the noble son of the god Chi yearning, lingering fireworks woman, the second floor is dedicated to entertaining the children of famous families, the third floor is to entertain the court and the central government, the fourth floor is to entertain the royal family and nobles, and the fifth floor no one knows who is inside, because no one has ever entertained any guests.
In Yiguo, there are so many green buildings, the reason why Qinlanzhai has stood for many years and can become the most famous place for fireworks is said to be because the background of the owner behind Qinlanzhai is very strong, and no one dares to mess with it.
Su Yexi took out a portrait from her sleeve and looked back and forth at the people in the building, wondering, why didn't she see her?
Just as she was thinking deeply, a bright-looking woman walked over gracefully and said with a smile: "The two sons look very angry, it must be the first time to come to us." ”
Su Yexi hurriedly put away the portrait and looked at the woman standing in front of her, it is said that this old bustard Yu Niang of Qinlan Zhai is a woman who is nearly thirty years old, but now she still looks like a twenty-eight flower.
Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, the skin is delicate and smooth, but the eyebrows are full of the vicissitudes of the wind and moon. The corners of Su Yexi's lips rose, and he bowed slightly and hugged his fists: "I have long admired the name of Yu Niang."
Yu Niang covered her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she was seductive: "The son is really good at laughing, the slave family is just a female streamer, how can you say that you are famous?" Childe, please come with me. ”
Su Yexi bowed slightly, stepped away and walked behind her.
Su Yexi couldn't help but be surprised, Qinlan Zhai is a place of wind and moon, and men come here not to find women for fun, except for the men and women in the hall they saw when they came in.
When Su Yexi passed by the various wings, he didn't hear any sound, and he didn't even catch the sound of men and women laughing.
She was naturally puzzled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but followed behind Yu Niang indifferently, looking at the layout of Qinlanzhai casually.
"Little, Miss......"
Zhihua was clinging to her body, looking nervous, and her eyes were looking around.
Su Yexi held her hand tightly and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
After a while, they came to a wing room, the room was very large, the furnishings in the room were extremely simple, the tables, chairs, screens were all available, and a peculiarly shaped flower was planted in the blue and white porcelain pot in the corner of the wall, and the flowers were blooming brightly.
Su Yexi frowned, strange, how could there be a strange fragrance in the room?
Yu Niang turned around and leaned on the chaise longue softly: "Son, please sit."
As soon as Su Yexi sat down, a veiled woman stepped forward with a tray, served tea and pastries, and then silently retreated.
"I don't know what kind of woman the two sons want when they come?"
