Chapter 226: Mid-Autumn Festival (2)
"Miss, we invited these people to the Yuan Mansion to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet like this, will you be angry if the adults know about it?" Cang Cang held the thick invitation and said a little worriedly.
Qin Qingqing was busy assigning the subordinates in Yuan's mansion to clean the courtyard and hang lanterns, and when she heard her, she said with a smile: "Brother Yuan is a man, where can he think so much, he should have invited the families of those colleagues in the mansion to come to the mansion for a small gathering, and the families of those squires who were good friends with his father should also be invited." Being closer to them will only benefit Brother Yuan, and there will be no harm. ”
These should have been done by the Gui family, but she only knew that she was angry with Brother Yuan and didn't think about him. Now that she has left the house in a fit of anger, she has her own hands to make a difference for Brother Yuan.
"Miss Qin's words are bad, my wife didn't think of this, she was in a hurry to repair the house, that's why." Yuan Lu, who was passing by, said expressionlessly.
"This house is to be repaired, but this day has to be lived, and the banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival is ordered by adults." Qin Qingqing's face was a little sneering, but in front of her subordinates, she couldn't lose her momentum, Yuan Lu was just a subordinate.
As a close companion to the adult, Yuan Lu is equivalent to the status of a housekeeper in this mansion, although there are not many people in the mansion now, but they all respect him very much.
On the one hand, there is the constant entourage of adults, and on the other hand, there are noble concubines in the future house, and no one can afford to provoke them, all of them are low-eyed, and the gray that sweeps the courtyard goes to the garden next to them, and those who hang lanterns run to the corner to hang.
Qin Qingqing sneered twice, looking at Yuan Lu's eyes becoming colder and colder. This Gui clan really has a set, people are not in the Yuan Mansion, but they can also let these subordinates protect each other so much, it seems that she is indeed as Cangcang said, a fox. not only confuses the adults but also wins the hearts of the people, it seems that she has to think of ways to add a group of people to this mansion.
Yuan Lu ignored her sneer, went to the study to get things for the adults, and then walked away.
Qin Qingqing saw that he was leaving, so he whispered a few words in Cangcang's ear, and Cangcang hurriedly returned to Qin's mansion to see Master Qin.
After only half a day's effort, the Qin family chose six clever and capable maids to come over. The invitations were also smoothly delivered to the homes of the nobles.
Seeing the sunset, inside the yamen of the city government, Yuan Zhiheng took the official document in Yuan Lu's hand, looked at it twice, and threw it on the table.
Looking at the sky outside, Yuan Zhiheng was a little irritable, looking at Yuan Lu who was standing on the side with an expressionless face, becoming more and more depressed, if it was Yuan Fu's house, at this time he would definitely ask today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. is too lonely in the Angelica Pavilion alone, why don't we go and take a look?
But Yuan Fu doesn't know where he died now, and this Yuan Lu next to him is an ice cube who doesn't understand the master's mind.
That's it, although Diancui made herself angry by her willfulness, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she can't let her celebrate the festival by herself, otherwise she will cry at night.
Yuan Zhiheng thought like this, so he simply didn't wait any longer, threw away the official document, strode out of the yamen, and rode towards Angelica Pavilion. Yuan Lu followed expressionlessly.
"My lord, Angelica Pavilion is closed for one day today." Yuan Lu went to see the wooden plaque on the gate of Angelica Pavilion.
"Go to the backyard." Yuan Zhiheng waved his hand.
When he arrived in the backyard, Yuan Zhiheng stood at the door, hesitating.
"My lord, won't you go in?" Yuan Lu asked.
Before he could react, Yuan Zhiheng swooped and climbed onto the wall.
Yuan Lu was stunned for a while, thought about it, and jumped onto the wall with the adults.
This inner courtyard is very lively.
The ground of Angelica Pavilion is inch-rich, and the inner courtyard is not big, but there are two in and two out of the house, a total of five courtyards. In the largest courtyard in the north, I saw people coming and going, Yuan Zhiheng frowned, it turned out that he was building a stage.
Dongxue, the right-hand man beside Diancui, was assigning people to fiddle with tables, chairs, and utensils, and her eyebrows were quiet and majestic.
"Dongxue's maid is also an ice cube face, but she is a match for you." Yuan Zhiheng slowly spit out a sentence from his mouth.
Yuan Lu, who was originally expressionless, finally had a little change in his face, and stammered: "Big ...... Don't ...... adults. Teasing subordinates. ”
"Although it is compatible, it is impossible for the two of you, I see that your wife intends to marry Dongxue to that Li Qingshan." Yuan Zhiheng raised his eyebrows, it was rare to see Yuan Lu's face change.
"Speaking of the ice cube face next to Madame, in addition to the winter snow, there is also a rose, although the rose grows taller and stronger......" Yuan Zhiheng looked at the busy appearance here on the wall, and felt very good, a little green in the place, the days are so busy and fresh.
"Where is Rose tall and strong, taller than ordinary women, and has the talent to draw patterns...... Yuan Lu blushed, and he defended Rose at the exit.
Yuan Zhiheng glanced at him with a smile, it turned out that this guy had a mind about the maid rose. Yuan Lu's scalp was numb and embarrassed by the master's eyes, so he quickly turned his head to look at the courtyard. It doesn't matter if you look at this, Yuan Lu was shocked:
"My lord, is that the young master of the Wu family? Why did he come to Hangzhou Mansion, and his wife, it seems that he had a good conversation with the young master......"
"I'm not blind!" Yuan Zhiheng said hatefully, looking at the men and women who were talking under the flower gallery with resentment, she was already married, why didn't she know how to keep a distance from foreign men?
Even if it was a cousin, he shouldn't be so close, Yuan Zhiheng's face became more and more cold......
"Oops!" Yuan Lu seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen, and fell off the wall in horror.
"What people!" When the nursing home of Angelica Pavilion heard this, he ran outside with the guy to check.
When I came out, it was empty.
"What happened?" Xue Dachuan happened to be passing by here, frowned and asked.
"Back to Lord Xue, I just heard that there seemed to be a strange noise outside, and when I went out to see that there was nothing abnormal." The nurse said.
"If it's all right, you can send a few people to the kitchen to help chop wood and kill chickens and fish." Xue Dachuan commanded.
Qiu Yue was busy in the kitchen at this time, instructing everyone to make moon cakes and make dinner. Originally, Mrs. said that she would personally take everyone to Zhang Luo, but before dark, a man who looked like a fairy came to the capital, and Mrs. called him cousin.
But Xue Dachuan looked at this cousin's eyes and looked at his wife, no!
"A few of you go to help, and I'll go back to the rest of the guards." Saying that, Xue Dachuan hurriedly walked out of the house.
No matter what the origin of this cousin is, he has to tell the adults quickly.
"Big ...... Your hand, your subordinates will give you medicine. Yuan Lu said cautiously, took the Jinchuang medicine he carried with him, and sprinkled it with Yuan Zhiheng.
Yuan Zhiheng's face was like black iron, and he seemed to be extremely angry.
Just under the flower gallery, the lady seemed to be weeping, and the young master of the Wu family gently stroked her back to comfort her...... Although the two did not do anything excessively intimate, in the eyes of the wall, they were clearly affectionate......
All this fell in Yuan Zhiheng's eyes, and it became that Diancui was wronged by herself, Wu Yi'an took the opportunity to comfort her, and Diancui also accepted it calmly.
"My lord, where are you going?" Yuan Lu asked.
"Go home." Yuan Zhiheng said coldly.
In the Yuan Mansion, there are also brilliant lights and laughter.
"Brother Yuan is back?" Qin Qingqing shuttled among the ladies and ladies with the attitude of a hostess cordially and reservedly, and did not forget to ask the maids around her.
Cang Cang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm back, this will be in the study." ”
"I heard that the Lord went to Angelica Pavilion, I don't know what happened, I didn't enter the door and came back angrily, and when I came back, I went to the study, and I refused to have dinner, I only ate a lot of wine, and I also ordered that no outsiders should approach." Cangcang said again.
Qin Qingqing said coldly, it must be because of that Gui clan that he made Brother Yuan unhappy. Brother Yuan shouldn't have disregarded his own body for her, eating and drinking on an empty stomach, where is there anyone who is not drunk. It's good to disperse here, you go and bring the meal and mooncakes we prepared, and I'll send them later.
Yes, Cangcang listened to Miss's words and prepared for it with a hundred times more energy.
After those ladies praised Qin Qingqing in every way, Qin Qingqing went back to her room and carefully dressed up, changed into gorgeous clothes, and then slowly entered the study with exquisite and delicious side dishes and moon cakes.
The smell of wine in the study was strong, Yuan Zhiheng leaned over and lay on the desk, his long hair was spread out, his picturesque handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he smelled people coming, his starry eyes were no longer clear, as if he had a trace of grievance, and his tone was soft and containing moisture.
"You're here......"
I knew that he was handsome and good-looking, but I had never seen him have such a heart-beating color. Qin Qingqing was originally a dignified and stable woman praised by everyone, but at this moment, she unconsciously walked towards him step by step.
"Brother Yuan, I'm here to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you." Qin Qingqing muttered, you are no longer alone.
Angelica Pavilion under the flower stand of the house.
Diancui's shoulders trembled, and he couldn't hide his panic.
"Cousin, thank you for telling me this, I'll leave for the capital tomorrow! Mother must be in a hurry, her body is not very good, now that something like this has happened to the second brother, how can she stand it! ”
Her mother's favorite child in her life, except for her, is her second brother Gui Zhongqing. Fortunately, Wu Yi'an sailed all the way from the country of Fusang to the land of Liangguang to do business at the end of spring this year, and after receiving a letter from the Wu family to know the news of the accident of his second cousin, he rushed all the way to Hangzhou Fucheng.
Just in time to meet my cousin Diancui on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw that her appearance had not changed much, but there was a trace of sadness lingering in her eyebrows.
"Don't worry, although your second brother is in prison, but there is a big brother and your righteous brothers who are involved in it, and there should be no worries about life for the time being." Wu Yi'an tried to stabilize her mind:
"The letter said that this chaos at the Tianjin wharf was originally caused by a dispute between the Cao gang and the local snakes, and some people had already taken advantage of the strange treasures that your second brother had brought back at sea over the years, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill him and seize his property. But I didn't know that your second brother was clever and had already noticed it, and he fought with them, and killed innocent people by mistake in the chaos. ”
"Su Rili's second brother is too close to those people in the rivers and lakes, and this time he was finally involved by them, and he was involved in such a life lawsuit, and some people saw with their own eyes that his murder charge could not be cleared away."
Diancui cried, only to feel chills all over her body and shiver non-stop.
In order to expand the business of returning home over the years, her second brother has also lived a life of licking blood from the knife, and he will lose his life if he is not careful. He has a hearty and heroic temperament, and he likes to make friends with those people in the rivers and lakes, but which of those people in the rivers and lakes is not involved in human life? Dian Cui originally thought that Youyun had no intention of being by his side, which could help him a little, but who knew that he still ended up like this.
I think this happened a month ago, and everyone at home hid it from Diancui, just afraid that she would worry, and the matter of Hangzhou Mansion was enough for Yuan Zhiheng to worry about. When the couple knew about this, they only increased their worries and worries.
"Xin'er! You go! Dian Cui suddenly said loudly: "Come and find the adult, let's discuss the matter of the second brother together." ”
When encountering such a thing, she has no master, even if she has an awkward relationship with adults, Qin Qingqing covets the position of lady...... These are nothing compared to the life of the second brother.
"Yes, don't worry, madam, the slave will go and invite the adult." Xin'er ran in the direction of Yuan's mansion.
"Wait, I'll take you with me on horseback." Du Xiaozhu called out to her and went to the stable to lead the horse together.
