342。 Alas, you adults are really tired of life
The guests of the wedding banquet dispersed one after another, and the Qi family, as the host, was a little tired because of the fact that the housewife Xu was pregnant with Liujia, and the old man Qi was a very favored wife, so he naturally accompanied him, and he couldn't let Mrs. Qi, the elder, come out to see off the guests, let alone let the Donghou and Mrs. Donghou of the woman's family send off the guests, so after thinking about this, the guests didn't think it was too strange for Qingxi, Qiushui and Aunt Xiao to treat them politely.
Qi Mingluan took on the task of the only concubine, sending off the guests who had an in-law relationship with the Qi family. The eldest aunt, Princess Duan, stroked Qi Mingluan's cheeks a few times with great affection, and instructed her to bring a congratulatory gift to visit her sister Xu Ranmei after giving birth safely.
"Madame is fine, but Master Qi is guarding it step by step." After Mo Lan checked the pulse for the Xu family, he came out and waited by Qi Mingluan's side, thinking that with Qi Houru and a few subordinates guarding him, no one would have the opportunity to have bad intentions towards the Xu family. God knows how tight the strings in Mo Lan's heart are at this dinner, and he can't leave the Qi family, and he has to stand up to Min Liuyun, where he is not giving up and what he plans to do.
"Senior brother is here? Cousin Rui is gone, didn't you say that you should let your senior brother greet Cousin Rui well. Qi Mingluan pinched a silk scarf in her small hand and inadvertently brushed it twice, after a wedding banquet, her mother didn't know anything about the catastrophe she had just escaped, she just felt that she had only come forward to deal with a small number of people, but she still felt so tired.
"Senior sister said this, could it be that one day the emperor really decreed that the senior brother and I should be a county master, and the junior sister will be happy?" Mo Lan shook his head and sighed, he could understand Yu Yirui's youngest daughter's thoughts, but the princess also hinted at a few words of this meaning, he was confused enough, and now he could only listen to Xiao Mingluan's sour words as comfort. Qi Mingluan gave him a slanted glance back and didn't pay much attention to it, because it was Qi Wenjuan's family and Beihou and his party who came not far away.
At this time, Mo Lan and Qi Mingluan only thought that what they said just now was a joke, but they didn't know that it wouldn't be long before Yu Yujue would really give the marriage decree together, and at that time, the two of them didn't know if they could still laugh.
"Father-in-law, stepmother, brother." In terms of etiquette, Qi Mingluan still couldn't lose his proportion, Mo Lan was accompanied by a smiling face on the side, and after knowing Min Liuyun's narrow heart, Mo Lan was already trying her best to restrain herself.
"Our little Mingluan is also about to be a sister." Qi Wenjuan came up first and shook Qi Mingluan's little hand familiarly, with a look of joy the more she looked at it, she couldn't wait to be like Qi Mingluan was her daughter, "It's a pity that I gave birth to two sons, and the grandsons that the sons also gave birth to are always incomplete." ”
"Cousin Lingyu has a lot of filial piety to her aunt, I heard that she went back to the door a while ago and brought a lot of gifts to her aunt, isn't it?" Qi Mingluan blurted out Wu Lingyu, a concubine who was raised by Qi Wenjuan as a concubine, in the end she was not Qi Wenjuan's own child, and she didn't care about other people's feelings at all when she spoke.
"Alas, marrying the third prince as a side concubine, how can there be such a gift as returning to the door, I just hope that she will keep her duty well, and don't make mistakes to Amitabha. Where can it compare to the scenery of Cheng'er marrying the lord of Donghou County. Qi Wenjuan's expression was much happier than her words, originally Wu Lingyu married into the prince's mansion as a side room is not a beautiful thing, and it can't be compared with the eldest nephew to marry the only daughter of the prince, but the unexpected Wu Lingyu came back to the door for three days after entering the Three Princes' Mansion, or the three princes came with him, which really made Qi Wenjuan overjoyed, as we all know, the side room did not even bow when entering the door, since the three princes could give Wu Lingyu such a big dignity, it can be seen that he is quite satisfied and attaches importance to this side concubine, Then it is not impossible to establish a firm foothold in the Three Princes' Mansion after that.
"Master Hou, the concubine also likes Mingluan, a righteous daughter, very much." Min Liuyun An'an snuggled up to Mu Tong's side, followed by three sons and one Rong Jin. For Qi Wenjuan's words, the people present are not too cold, the non-biological concubine, in the future, Qi Wenjuan can be said to be her mother-in-law who has taught well, if there is a mistake, it is a direct separation of the relationship, it is not difficult at all.
"Now that the marriage of the son of the Qi family is over, the lady has to bother with the marriage of Jianping and Rongjin." Mu Tongjie's words are even more jumpy, as if he is looking forward to Rong Jin's daughter-in-law.
"But isn't it, this son looks at Mu San Gongzi and Miss Rong, how do you see how they match, I don't know if the marriage is done in the capital, or if I go back to Mufu in Muliang City? I heard that Miss Rong is deeply loved by Empress Sun, and on that day, it must be that the scenery will only be better than today's Donghou marrying a daughter. Mo Lan's style of speaking is the same as always, and in this world, in front of Qi Mingluan, Mo Lan's words will not always carry a sense of superiority. Min Liuyun, the son of a vicious woman, married the pseudo-granddaughter of the vicious queen, and this marriage Mo Lan suddenly felt that it was the most suitable one in the world.
Rong Jin lowered his head and didn't say a word, Mo Lan's words were clearly to compare her with the lord of Haiyun, who was just married to an imperial businessman, but who didn't know that Donghou and Mrs. Donghou offered a whole street of dowry, but she Rongjin had the name of a royal grandson, but no matter how much she felt valued by Queen Sun, she would not dream of having so many decent dowries, and after several contacts with Mu Jianping, Rong Jin would not expect that Mu Jianping would give her a dowry.
To put it bluntly, except for the net worth of both parties to be more decent, none of her Rongjin's marriages can compare to today's Qi family's daughter-in-law.
"There's no hurry to do this marriage, isn't the wedding date set yet, it's just that what should be prepared has to be prepared." Mu Tong's words were the same as if he didn't say anything for a long time, so he took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Qi Mingluan, "Xiao Mingluan, my father-in-law has never had a daughter, and I don't know what his daughter's family likes to play with, this is made by your mother-in-law, so let's play with it in your spare time." ”
"Thank you father-in-law, thank mother-in-law." Qi Mingluan smiled, and did not take it directly, but Xiao Qiao behind him stepped forward to take it, this is her Qi Mingluan's usual rules, and no one will feel anything, but it is different if it falls into Min Liuyun's eyes, Mu Tong's words have already made her heart a little chuckled, her mind fell on Mu Tong, and it couldn't reach Qi Mingluan's eyes, and that Qi Mingluan just let the maid around her take it, the shelf is really big.
"Although Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye have not had a daughter, but soon the daughter-in-law will enter the door, isn't it, as the saying goes, the daughter who marries out spills the water, and the daughter-in-law who marries into the door can better serve and honor Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou. I don't know my Mingluan girl's temperament that has been spoiled since she was a child, and I don't know if she can be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future. It doesn't matter if Qi Wenjuan interjected, this remark can offend both parties.
On the one hand, Min Liuyun decided that what Qi Wenjuan said to her would not be good, and on the other hand, Qi Mingluan was not happy that her aunt compared her with the pseudo-emperor's granddaughter Rong Jin.
"Hey, Mingluan is still young, presumably Brother Qi and his younger siblings are still reluctant to talk about marriage with Xiao Mingluan, besides, Xiao Mingluan has such an aura, it's too late to see her all love, Mrs. Wu is too worried." Nothing can be more heart-piercing than Mu Tong's words, two simple sentences can be compared to a slap and make Qi Wenjuan's face hurt, who first said the water splashed by the married daughter just now, since it is the water that was spilled, the marriage of the daughter of the Qi family has nothing to do with you, Mrs. Wu, then the father and mother of Qi Houru and the Xu family didn't say anything, what qualifications do you have to say irresponsible about Mrs. Wu, an outsider.
"It's not early, and your body is not completely well, so let's go back to the post station to rest early, since I like Mingluan, a righteous girl, I will have a chance to meet in the future." Mu Tong turned to show tenderness to Min Liuyun, and asked Mu Jianping to support Min and leave first.
"Mingluan, that's a purse made by your stepmother, but you have to be careful not to break it, it's better to get a box and put it away." Seeing that Beihou walked away, Qi Wenjuan said this to Qi Mingluan again. It's a sachet and a purse, as long as it's something sent by the Min family, Qi Wenjuan's first reaction is that there is something harmful in it, she deliberately said this, just to remind Xiao Mingluan, who is still young and doesn't know anything, to pay attention, the farther away from this purse, the better.
Mo Lan understood what Qi Wenjuan meant, she was afraid that there were things as harmful as musk in this purse, but Mo Lan was not worried, after all, Xiao Mingluan was very familiar with all kinds of herbs and spices, and no matter how bad he was, he would have smelled it a long time ago.
"Auntie, in fact, this purse is only the heart of the stepmother." And Qi Mingluan endured the corner of his eyes that was about to twitch, just a broken purse, Xiao Qiao's craftsmanship is ten times better, is it worth hiding, I don't know if the toys that the county lord has played with since he was a child are all made of jade, when did he play with such a childish thing like those ordinary ladies. "It's not early, aunt, you see that Wu Yitai is sleepy, so let's go home early and rest."
Finally sent Qi Wenjuan away, the guests in the Qi Mansion have been scattered, and the mess in the wedding banquet hall has their own subordinates to clean up, Qi Mingluan just wants to see how the Xu family is doing, because the eldest brother insisted on leaving the house with Haiyun three days later, and the mother was depressed and uncomfortable.
"My aunt seems to have a strange attitude towards the Min family, and it seems that she really recognizes the identity of the Min family." Those adults really think that she is a second ancestor of a loser who only knows how to count gold, it is too obvious that you have shot and shot one stick at a time in these words, alas, your adult's life is really tired.
"Regarding the Min family's affairs back then, senior brother, my investigation has made great progress, and when the big and small things in the Qi Mansion are over, let's talk about them one by one and listen to the little junior sister." Mo Lan planned to go back to the Feng Mansion and discuss with Chu Wan and Yin Xing whether she could find out who wanted to kill the Min family back then.
