Chapter 42 Attracting the Fish to the Bait
This is to remind Dou Qing'e of the last fire, she did make Aunt Chang and Aunt Liu make a big fool in front of Qin Qian, but in the end, it was resolved by a so-called letter from Boss Yuan, she has already sent someone to check, Boss Yuan has already returned to his hometown, it is impossible to send any letter at that time, but unfortunately, there is Boss Yuan's seal on the letter, and I don't know how this little hoof got it, if it weren't for Qin Qin's refusal to mention this matter again, she must find out about this matter, It was clear in front of Qin Qian.
"If it's okay, my sister will go back first." Aunt Chang blessed her body slightly, in fact, when she decided to help Qin Yunuan openly this time, she was destined to be clearly separated from Dou Qing'e, looking at Dou Qing'e's resentful eyes smashing towards her, Aunt Chang just didn't see it, Dou Qing'e did have a deep background, but if she was always attached to her, Baoduan was afraid that she would become as stupid and stupid as Qin Yuzhao, but if she formed an alliance with the three girls, the three girls were resourceful, and now there was a very capable Su Chenghai, at least she could keep Baoduan growing up healthy.
Looking at the way Aunt Chang and Qin Yunuan left before and after, Dou Qing'e only felt that she had been hit by two cold arrows in the back, nailed to her so that she couldn't move, but it was a pity that she was now in Li Mengming's Furong Courtyard, she was not good at seizures, she looked sideways at Qin Yunxiang, who only said a word just now, and said without saying a word, just when she made a punchbag: "Useless things, I didn't say a word just now." ”
Qin Yunxiang was stunned, and she couldn't say it, beauty loves gentlemen, she loves Zhang Ruting's graceful and dignified humble son even more, compared to those princes and ministers, I don't know how much more wind and bones, thinking of his face is almost good, the last time Qin Yunxiang hinted at Zhang Ruting intentionally or unintentionally, who expected the other party to flatly refuse, and said that if he was like this again, I am afraid that he would not go to the door of the Qin family in the future, so since she heard that her mother was going to invite Zhang Ruting to consult Li Mengming, her complexion was already wrong, especially the moment Zhang Ruting came in, her heart seemed to jump out wildly, where could she still take care of the battle of wits and courage between her mother and Qin Yunuan.
Everyone was about to disperse, Dou Qing'e saw that Qin Jian was still in that spiritless appearance, and frowned: "Don't you fall in love with the only son of the Zhang family again." ”
When someone told him about his heart, Qin Yunxiang's face turned red in an instant, he lowered his head, and only said: "Gongzi Zhang is a good person." ”
"Good guys?" Dou Qing'e's tone was full of disdain and ridicule, "There are more good people these days, but can they give you power?" Can I give you a name? Can it give you the life you want? You have been a flamboyant since you were a child, and I liked your cousin when I was a child, and I didn't forget it, but later, Zhang Ruting, Li Jiaxuan, and even the unsuccessful sister-in-law of the Shangguan family, which of you didn't have some thoughts, and besides, don't think I don't know, when Su Chenghai first entered the mansion, you asked Fusheng to report Su Chenghai's news to you first, fortunately, I have always deliberately stopped Su Chenghai from getting along with you alone, otherwise, I don't know what you will become. ”
Qin Yunjiao was said to be embarrassed, she just likes those handsome men, so what, she has never done anything out of the ordinary, but she heard Dou Qing'e lower her voice and said: "Yun makeup, you have to be clear, your current life, you can wear gold and silver, you can eat your favorite bird's nest silk rolls, there is a sedan chair carried by four people when you go out, as long as you feel a little unwell, you can invite the imperial doctor for consultation, all by virtue of your identity as the concubine of the Taiwei Mansion, not your beauty, can you cook and eat with your appearance?" You can only be true if you marry a promising prince, and your mother's words have already been said so clearly, don't you understand? ”
If she wants her Qin Yun's pampered body to have no bird's nest to eat, no sedan chair to sit on, and to let her collect thousands of pampered concubines of the Taiwei Mansion is no longer beautiful, and she will marry lower than those noble girls in Beijing who are not as good as herself, and she will be ridiculed and blinded in the future, just thinking about it is enough to kill her.
"I know my mother," Qin Yunxiang nodded again and again, and climbed up to Dou Qing'e's arm with a well-behaved look, "In the future, Yunxiang will listen to her mother for everything." ”
Dou Qing'e's face finally showed the first sincere smile of the day, she lovingly touched Qin Yun's long hair that was as soft as water grass, she poured all her thoughts into this daughter, if she couldn't join the royal family and soar to the sky, her efforts for more than ten years would be in vain.
"Okay, go back, go back to Cuixuan Courtyard with your mother first, and your mother will ask Aunt Xiu to make you your favorite bird's nest silver silk roll." There is nothing to say about Xiugu's craftsmanship, and she is the wedding maid who came with Dou Qing'e from Hangzhou, and she is the best at making these southern snacks, Qin Yunxiang nodded obediently, and held Dou Qing'e's arm more diligently, and walked out of the Furong Courtyard.
Looking at the backs of Dou Qing'e and Qin Yunxiang walking away, Qin Yunuan turned around from behind a crape myrtle tree that two people hugged, the two-story crape myrtle tree has already given birth to many young shoots and young leaves, giving birth to a verdant luster under the sunlight, and there are some dead leaves accumulated in the winter last year at the root of the tree, and the people did not sweep them away in time, only leaving these dead branches and fallen leaves as nutrients for the crape myrtle wood to sprout again this year.
The embroidered shoes embroidered with colorful butterflies stepped on the fallen leaves, making a crunchy sound, but Qin Yunuan's gaze was long and long.
"The third girl's trick is really wonderful," behind her was Aunt Chang's voice, she couldn't help but admire, "She Dou Qing'e would never have thought that the third girl knew that the master sent someone to escort Aunt Li to choose jewelry today, and deliberately chose to go out at the same time, and deliberately made the carriage exactly the same as Aunt Li, but she never thought that the carriage curtain prepared by the third girl was double-layered, and when she came back, she pulled down the brown and yellow curtain that was hidden, and the green curtain carriage became brown and yellow. And Aunt Li's cyan carriage, which was also parked on the first floor of the capital, became the target of the spies guarding the door, and when Aunt Li left, in fact, the three girls had already returned home. ”
After Aunt Chang finished speaking, she praised it, but she was a little puzzled: "It's just that how does the third girl know that after Aunt Li buys jewelry, she will take a long detour to the first floor of the capital?" ”
"It's very simple," Qin Yunan pulled away the goose-yellow skirt, "I just deliberately put some news to her last night to let her know that the big proprietor behind the first floor of the capital is actually Cousin Su." ”
Aunt Chang was suspicious at first, but she understood in an instant, she covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Could it be that Li Mengming has a ...... with Young Master Cousin." ”
"I don't think so," Qin Yunuan said seriously, "I always can't guess my cousin's thoughts, but there was a fire that night, I paid special attention to Li Mengming's gaze at her cousin, and I can conclude that at least Li Mengming is affectionate to her cousin, you say, an eighteen-year-old beautiful lady like a delicate flower, it is the time when the heart of spring sprouts, if you know that your sweetheart has opened a restaurant, it is very likely to appear, will you seize the opportunity to take a look?" ”
Aunt Chang nodded thoughtfully.
"As for Su Seventeen," Qin Yunuan continued, "Money can make ghosts grind, and I can also give the price that she Dou Qing'e can afford, even double, triple." "Money has to be spent on the blade, as long as it is negotiated with that Boss Shen this time, Qin Yunuan is confident that he can make a lot of money with gold and silver.
Qin Yunuan's face sank, and as if endless worry crept up her brow: "Auntie, what you just said and I heard, but is it true?" ”
Aunt Chang turned to the side and said seriously: "Actually, when I first saw Li Mengming, I felt familiar, and then I remembered that the eyebrows and eyes, that demeanor, were exactly the same as Aunt He when I was young, and I also remembered that the night Aunt He died violently happened to be Baochuan was born, I think, the reason why the lord is so cold to you and Baochuan should also be this hurdle in my heart, and a while ago my maid Ah Shui went out to buy things, and happened to meet the old man who had done things in the Qin family before, they said, At that time, Mrs. invited a barefoot mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law said that it was Baochuan Ke who killed Aunt He, and Aunt He died strangely, and the death was even more miserable, and she scratched her face before she died. ”
"That mother-in-law was invited by Dou Qing'e, and she naturally listened to Dou Qing'e for whatever she said." For the first time, Qin Yunuan called her mother-in-law's full name in front of others, because she made trouble for Baochuan and herself for so many years, and Qin Yunuan couldn't even pretend to be generous and filial.
"Yes," Aunt Chang sighed, "Now you have also seen the master's love for Li Mingming, this is all because Li Mingming looks exactly the same as Aunt He, it can be seen that the master has always been obsessed with Aunt He, and the more this is the case, the more difficult Baochuan's situation becomes." ”
The two of them walked as they talked, and they came to a gravel intersection where they should go their separate ways, and the maids followed from a distance, and they couldn't hear their conversation clearly.
"I heard today that the eldest young master's carriage has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and it should be at the house tomorrow, the eldest young master and the Dou family have always been deflated from the same nostril, and the third girl should be more careful." Aunt Chang instructed while holding Qin Yunuan's slightly cold little hand.
"Auntie, you should also be careful, now that you are openly helping me cover up, it is tantamount to telling Dou Qing'e that you and I are on the same front, how much she hates me, how much you hate and how ruthless you are to your aunt." Qin Yunuan patted the back of Aunt Chang's hand with her backhand, the two glanced at each other, and each went back to the courtyard.
On the second day, Qin Yunuan had to get up early to greet Dou Qing'e as usual, wearing a plain dress, with a pink silk flower on her hair bun, Xiu Gu was about to lift the curtain at the door to let Qin Yunuan in, cold, and a cold and calm male voice came out from the swaying sound of flowers and vines behind her: "Mother, it's too late for the wind." ”
Qin Yunuan turned around and saw a tall and handsome young man of twenty years old turned around from the end of the corridor covered by flowers, with a light fur and a heroic posture, his eyebrows and eyes were like Qin's quality, thick and deep, with an honest and sincere look, and the thin lip line, like Dou Qing'e, made Qin Yunuan feel that every time the corners of his lips rose, he was hiding a knife in his smile.
