Chapter 2: The old lady asks her to give up her family affairs

Qingyan touched her face, and the blurred figure in the bronze mirror repeated her movements.

This is her, fourteen years old, and she will be in time for another year, her goose egg face is white and fair, and she is slightly immature, although she is not as gorgeous as Yu Yao's appearance, but it is not too bad, she is a natural beauty, but she is ......

looks too weak and easy to bully, just like she used to be!

Qingyan thought self-deprecatingly, looked at the red turnip in the mirror and combed her red hanging bun, and said with a smile: "Hongwu, pick the jasper hairpin!" Just bring that pink string of beads, it's easy and suitable."

Hongwu was stunned for a moment, puzzled, but obediently took off the hairpin and put it back in the makeup box, replaced it with a bead string and put it back on the bun on both sides of Qingyan.

"Let's go, you two will go to grandmother's with me today", Qingyan stood up, straightened the streamers on her long skirt, and walked out of the east room again.

Hongwu is obviously a little overwhelmed, Miss doesn't always dislike letting her follow, how can she ...... today?

Bi Qing patted her on the shoulder and said, "Why are you stunned, listen to Miss's arrangement."

"Sister Biqing, what's wrong with Miss Today?" It's strange to talk otherwise.

Bi Qing glared at her: "What nonsense? If you don't clean up and hurry up, if you delay the time and cause the young lady to be taught a lesson by the old lady, be careful that the grandmother comes back so that you can't eat and walk around."

Hongwu's face changed, and she suddenly became anxious.

Qingyan stood under the eaves of the cloister out of the hall, all the sisters in the family lived in Qunfangyuan, her courtyard was called "Zhuxuanju", located in the southwest corner, and her grandmother lived in the front yard, the distance was very far, you can take the green silk sedan chair specially allocated to the ladies in the house, in her memory, the former Qingyan in order to get the favor of the old lady but did not enjoy it once, it was really stupid!

"Biqing, call the soft sedan chair, let's sit", Biqing heard such an order as soon as she arrived behind her, and she went to summon someone with such an expression on her face.

Qingyan smiled bitterly, even the maidservant saw her grievances, now that she is gone, she will live well for the real Qingyan, live calmly and freely, she will definitely not let herself who has experienced wrongs repeat the mistakes of the past.

The little guy carrying the sedan chair went out from the west corner gate of Qunfang Garden to the east and walked a section of the road paved with stones, and after a while, he entered the sandwich road and continued to walk to the east, and it didn't take long to see a hanging flower door in the west, and after the hanging flower door, he could see a row of low back cover rooms where people lived, there were three main rooms in front of the cover room, and entered from the side door of the west ear room, and the two sides were the hand-copying verandah, and she got off the sedan chair at the pendulum door, and led the green and red steps up to the hand-copying verandah, and saw a woman wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket and an aqua blue dark flower filament pleated satin skirt, and the skirt was pinched at the waist. It looks pretty and demure.

It is the third lady Li Qinghuan! The third grandmother's daughter, her mother is the daughter of Jingzhao Taishou Du family, and her status is noble.

"Third sister", Qingyan stepped forward and bowed to the Buddha.

"It's the fourth sister, you're a little late today, my aunt and other sisters and other sisters have already gone in, and I'll go in here to breathe the wind."

Li Qinghuan is waiting for Li Qingyan here, and her grandmother said that there is a highlight today, and the fourth lady can't help but come.

"Well, it's a little, my sister will go to my grandmother first, and the third sister will be together?" Qingyan smiled and said.

"Let's do it together!" Looking at Qingyan's expression carefully, Qing Huan felt a little uneasy in her heart, and frowned slightly, the fourth sister seems to look different today than before, does she know her grandmother's decision, don't be bad.

The maid waiting under the porch raised the inky blue cotton curtain, and Qingyan and Qinghuan walked in side by side.

As Qing Huan said, the eldest aunt, now the lady in charge of the Li Mansion sits in the first position under the old lady's left hand, wearing a wide-sleeved gold jacket with a thin jacket of flowers and brocade and a plain long skirt, her face is dignified and generous, and she has the air of being a housewife.

Under the eldest aunt is Qinghuan's mother, the third lady, she is dressed gorgeously, wearing several layers of thin shirts, the outermost is a Hehuan top with a long skirt of smoke and flowers, a high erected bun, on one side of the cloud sideburns flower Yan Jin Bu Shao, on the other hand is a begonia Jin Bu Shao, and the ear is the same pendant.

On the other side sat the eldest lady and the second lady of the second room, the two of them were dressed simply, both were brocade moire jackets with plain cotton skirts, the eldest lady had a kind face, born with a smile, the second lady's thin cheeks, hanging eyes, a sad face, looking a little mean.

The rest of the second miss Li Qingying, the fifth miss Li Qingli, and the sixth miss Li Qingge all sat in the back.

"Grandmother Ann, aunts, uncles and aunts", Qingyan also bowed and saluted after the third lady asked for peace.

"Get up, you're a little late today, or are you sitting in a soft sedan chair?" The old lady patted the soft couch in her left hand, beckoned to the third lady, and motioned for her to sit there.

Qingyan couldn't see it, his face was calm, and he replied with a smile: "Grandmother, my granddaughter got up late today, and I heard my sisters say that the soft sedan chair is comfortable, and I felt it for the first time today."

The old lady's loving face was a little stiff when she looked at her, but she didn't show it, and still said gently: "I won't blame you, but it's not like your third sister ......."

I won't talk about it halfway, but which one in the hall is not a human spirit, and I have already guessed the words in the back, and I have more filial piety than many third ladies.

Qingyan smiled, didn't take everyone's looks seriously, and still said with a smile: "Grandmother, the third sister lives close, and I live far away, which can't be compared."

This was originally the truth, but as soon as these words came out, not to mention the old lady, even the eldest lady looked at her, the essence in her eyes flashed, and she thought about it.

The third lady directly lowered her face, and said sharply: "Fourth Miss, this is condemning the old lady's partiality!" Don't forget that this courtyard was chosen by you at the beginning, you chose it far, and the third lady chose it close, and now you can't complain."

Qingyan wanted to laugh when she heard it, she did choose it herself, but at the beginning, everyone chose a yard full of flowers, and in the end, there was only a bamboo forest left that no one liked, and she couldn't pick it, so she had to choose Bamboo Xuanju.

"Third aunt, Qingyan didn't complain, she just told the truth."

"Alright! It's useless to say something", the old lady shouted angrily, and the third lady stopped her mouth, "Yesterday, the Pei family sent someone to the door to withdraw from the marriage with the fourth lady, while everyone is here today, I will talk about the old body's decision", the words fell, she looked at Qingyan, and said kindly: "Qingyan, since the Pei family doesn't like you, why don't you give this marriage to your third sister, let her marry the Pei family for you, and grandmother will help you find a better family."

As soon as the old lady said such shameless words, Qingyan couldn't help laughing, and she had never heard of her grandmother snatching a marriage from another granddaughter for another beloved granddaughter.

I don't know who came up with the idea.

Qingyan was silent, and quietly glanced at the proud third lady with a little mockery, and the third lady who had blushed cheeks and lowered her forehead.

The Pei family, everyone in the scholar clan who is on par with the Li family, no wonder the third lady is so fond of it, it is estimated that even the third sister does not know when she fell in love with the son of the Pei family who she has never met.
