Chapter 9: Not Being a Concubine (3)

The carriage passed slowly, and those years were like wheels, rolling forward little by little, and the story of the dressmaker was left behind by word of mouth, and Lan Yi told it vividly, but he didn't know what his future would look like.

Coincidentally, when the story was finished, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Lan Yi felt strange, "It shouldn't have been to Pei's Mansion at this time, why did you stop?" ”

The little guy whispered outside: "Miss, the two cars in front of you are blocking the road." ”

Wanyu was still immersed in the lady's loyalty to love, Wanyin opened the curtain and looked at it, and whispered: "I look at the golden girl again, and something seems to have happened to her carriage." ”

Lan Yi frowned, motioned for her cousin to wait in the car, and slowly got out of the carriage, ready to go over and have a look.

Jin Yiyan's voice is always so bright, and she has already walked out of the market here, and has arrived on the long straight bluestone road, where there are few pedestrians, and her unhappiness has spread so far away.

“…… Whose minions will drive the carriage, look at this wheel, it almost hit me! ”

The other party is a slender girl, looking at her appearance has not fully grown, she should be younger than Lan Yi, at this moment the rear wheel of her horse and the rear wheel of Jin Yiyan's carriage are stuck together, and a servant is trying to separate them, and the front of the slender woman's carriage is not in the right direction, it is obvious that her side suddenly changed direction and collided with Jin Yiyan.

"Please forgive this sister." The woman saluted, her face ashamed, "There are naughty children playing in the middle of the road, and the little guy who is driving the car has to pull the bridle to change directions." Crashed into my sister's carriage, is it ours, sister see how I can compensate? ”

Jin Yiyan glanced at the seal carving on the other party's carriage, it was written with the word "Ji", there are several ministers surnamed Ji in Beijing, and their official positions are not more than Er'er, and the anger they received on Lan Yi's side just now has not subsided, and now they regard the other party as a punching bag, just looking for trouble.

"Naughty boy, why didn't I see any naughty boys?" Jin Yiyan raised his chin and said.

The woman looked around and explained, "I think I was frightened and ran away, children, sometimes I don't pay attention to playing in the middle of the road, and when I am scared, I will hurry home." Sister still tell me what kind of compensation she wants, I feel really guilty. ”

"Compensation?" Jin Yiyan sneered, "What do I want from you for compensation?" What good things can your Ji family come up with to compensate me? I'm afraid there's nothing I can look at. ”

A touch of panic appeared on Miss Ji's round face, and she said softly: "If my sister doesn't mind, use my family's carriage first, so as not to make a mistake, and in the future, my sister has something she likes, bring a message to my house, and I will naturally send it to my sister." ”

The other party's appearance is neither humble nor arrogant, Jin Yiyan is annoyed when he looks at it, every time Pei Lanyi speaks, isn't it also such a steady tone? She played with the handkerchief in her hand and sneered: "Can you get the fist-sized night pearl in the South China Sea, or the beast head agate cup from Fanbang?" I'm afraid that someone like you has never even heard of something I like, let alone sent it to me? ”

Miss Ji may have never seen such an arrogant person, so she calmed down for a while before she said, "Since this girl is generous and doesn't want anything, let's separate the carriage and hurry over, don't block the people behind." ”

As soon as Jin Yiyan turned around, when he saw Pei Lanyi, the anger in his heart dissipated a little and burned again, pushing the minions to block the road, "The matter has not been resolved, no one is allowed, she likes to wait and wait in the back." ”

Although Miss Ji is young, she is very generous, "This girl, I am indeed at fault first, but I have already proposed a way to solve it, if you don't accept it, you can tell where the house is, and when the time comes, there will be elders to come to the door to discuss, blocking the road is not a reason, and there will be more and more carriages coming and going, which will make people laugh in vain." ”

"You teach me? Why are you teaching me?! Jin Yiyan was teased by two people in a short period of time, and there was no outlet to vent, he just wanted to make a small thing a big thing and make it uncomfortable for anyone, "Today, this carriage is here, the first time I have seen someone who has done something wrong, he has taught others in turn, and I don't know which petty official raised a daughter like you." ”

Miss Ji's face instantly turned cold, "My father is a five-grade Guanglu Shaoqing, although he is not a high-ranking family, but he has always taught us to know etiquette and etiquette as children, and girl, you keep saying that others are small households, and when you look at it yourself, you don't look like a generous and calm famous lady." ”

In terms of quarrels, it was difficult for Jin Yiyan to win others, and when she met two of them today, they were both sharp-tongued, but in her thoughts, she couldn't quarrel, and it was the most convenient thing to do it, and it just so happened that Lan Yi's statement today shocked her a lot-If Ying Guifei Niangniang really likes that kind of domineering woman, should she also make it for Ying Guifei to see?

The two of them were so close to each other, Jin Yiyan's hand was always faster than his brain, and as soon as he had such a thought, his hand had already been raised, and the next moment it could land on Miss Ji's round face.

However, the next moment, her raised hand was grabbed.

When he turned around and saw that it was Lan Yi who intervened to stop him, Jin Yiyan glared angrily, "I warn you Pei Lanyi, don't worry about things that shouldn't be in your hands." ”

"I'm in charge of this. You're in my way, and I'm going to have to convince one of them to give way. Lan Yi smiled gently.

Jin Yiyan shook off her hand, "I won't let it anyway." ”

Lan Yi sighed, "It is said that the Jin family is a beauty, but in my opinion, the Jin family is a stupid person." ”

"What did you say!"

"I'm talking about you stupid person, let's Dashun allow women to go out of the boudoir and enter the market, just for more than ten years, the real high-ranking boudoir, how can you allow your daughter to show up?" At this moment, Lan Yi is very different from Lan Yi in Jinyufang, there is less aggressiveness in his words, but a little more undoubted, "You claim to be a famous family, but you can't wait to stand here with your face and make a sound, for fear that others will not see you, who do you want to show it?" ”

She leaned close to Jin Yiyan's ear and made up for it, "Do you think the concubine will like such a woman?" You don't look at how steady and silent Princess Qi is, you make such a fuss here, it's like a woman leaning on the fence and laughing, competing to dance for others, of course, people are still for their livelihood, but you are for the sake of empty face, and you lose even more. ”

Jin Yiyan stared at her, his hands trembled slightly, and he wanted to raise it in the air when he looked at it, "You, you dare to ...... me and them"

"Think for yourself, don't you?" Lan Yi took a step back, guarding against her sudden move, and said, "If you want to cut off your future with your own hands, even if you make trouble on this street, even if you fight, even if you spill, everyone in the capital will know what you look like, and those scholars and painters will write you into books and paintings, and then see who dares to ask you!" ”

Jin Yiyan blushed, she had a stomach full of unpleasant things to say, but she didn't know which sentence to scold to the point, this Pei Lanyi seemed to be her natural nemesis, and every word took her to death.

Fortunately, at this moment, the relieved voice of the little guy next to him sounded, "Miss, the carriage is separated, and the slave repairs it with the existing things, and it can all move around." ”

Jin Yiyan left a sentence of "Don't be too complacent", turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Today in front of Pei Lanyi, this face was completely lost.

Leaving Miss Ji standing in place, she also saluted Lan Yi honestly, "Thank you for this sister's help." ”

Lan Yi waved his hand, "Don't worry, she and I have never been compatible, and occupying this place is also to cause trouble for me, are you scared?" Hurry back to the carriage, it's cold outside. ”

Miss Ji smiled sweetly, "My sister is chivalrous, next time there is something I can help with, please ask my sister to speak." She stood beside Lan Yi, a little intimate, "My name is Ruoping, the 'Ruo' of 'Du Ruo', the 'Ping' of 'Painting Screen', I just heard that my sister is the daughter of the Pei family, and her maiden name is 'Lan Yi'?" ”

Lan Yi nodded and said "yes", Ji Ruoping smiled happily, "I have heard my sister's name, and my father has occasionally mentioned it, it is really fate, I still have some things today, thank you next time I make a special trip to the mansion." ”

Lan Yi couldn't cry or laugh, did it turn out that his reputation had reached this point? This little girl looked weak, she usually shouldn't be out of the door, but she even knew that Lan Yi was the daughter of Pei Langzhong's family, so she didn't even ask where she lived, so she said that she would go to the mansion next time.

After a few polite words, Lan Yi also got into the carriage, and the carriages on both sides staggered leisurely and walked in different directions.

Wan Yin was already waiting anxiously, and asked worriedly: "How is it good to offend Jin Yiyan twice a day?" ”

Lan Yi didn't care, "Jin Yiyan is a kind of person, she bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, her thoughts are all written on her face, she likes to provoke people, but she is very easy to deal with, as long as you are better than her, she will suffer the nest you give her, offending her is the most cost-effective thing, and you don't have to communicate, and you can know a lot of news from her mouth, and you don't have to worry about her growing that brain to hurt you behind her back." ”

Lan Yi said very easily, but Wan Yin said: "But I asked the little guy just now, and they said that Jin Yiyan's father can also speak in front of the saint." Jin Yiyan may be easy to deal with, but her father ......"

"The little ones only know those things on the surface, her father and the second prince are very close, and the saint may not like it." Lan Yi said.

"Wouldn't that be even worse? You will be the second prince's concubine in the future, and before you pass the door, you will have trouble with the people on his side first. Wan Yin regretted, "I knew that I wouldn't come out today, and if I came out, I would cause trouble." ”

Lan Yi said very seriously: "Cousin, don't look at me now and Aunt Bai and Aunt Leng, in fact, I know the pain of being an aunt, going to the second prince to be a side concubine, it's just a better name, to put it bluntly, it's still an aunt, it's good to fall out with them, no matter how much the second prince wants to accept me, he also has to weigh the thoughts of the people around him." ”

Wan Yin is a submissive person, even if her parents point her to a terrible marriage, she will wipe her tears behind her back, and then obediently agree, she can't imagine that there are people like Lan Yi in the world, even the heavenly family dares to contradict it.

Jin Yiyan and these things she brought, like a touch of cold snow in winter, suppressed the enthusiasm of the three sisters to choose jewelry, so all the way back, almost no longer spoke, and the most annoying thing is that when she got home, Lan Yi's feet just stepped into the threshold of Pei's mansion, and Xu's mother rushed over and said: "The eldest lady is back, please go to my aunt's place, my aunt and the master have something to wait for the eldest lady." ”

Lan Yi frowned, "What's the matter?" I just came back from out of here, and I can't change my clothes? ”

Mother Xu's face was proud, "Sensei has changed her clothes, the master is angry with the eldest lady, my aunt can't persuade me, I still have to go to you, and the master can dissipate his anger." ”

Lan Yi said: "Mother Xu is obedient in front of her aunt, and she only listens to half of it?" When I ask what's the matter, you're like deaf. It's no wonder that in the past, our Fenghe Courtyard lacked daily things, and when I asked Xu's mother to ask for it, I was looking for someone to run three or five times to get it, which really responded to the word 'old'. ”

Mother Xu was annoyed that she was sharp and sharp at a young age, and said angrily: "What can the slave know about the master and aunt?" As for the things in the Wind Lotus Courtyard, they have never been short, and the eldest lady has to find the stubble of the slave in front of the two cousins, and the slave and maid have no choice. ”

"It's not short, but when is it not the latest to be sent under urging?" Lan Yi had a cold face, the villain who worships high and low is like this, and it can't hurt other people's lives, but his behavior and practices can always be disgusting, "What's more, my sisters-in-law have more things than me every month, which is not short for me?" ”

Originally, these things, Lan Yi knew that it was meaningless for her to make trouble, Aunt Bai was in charge of the house, and there was always a set of rhetoric in front of her father, and she sued for a month or two, and then she would still return to her previous appearance, if she couldn't pull Aunt Bai down in one fell swoop, it would be better to secretly collect the so-called "criminal evidence", and then there would be a "fuel on the fire".

But at this time, Lan Yi did everything not to show Aunt Bai.

Mother Xu took out a look of loyalty to Pei Fu, and said awe-inspiringly: "Eldest Miss, don't talk nonsense in front of the two cousins, you said that the second and third ladies have more things than you, but what evidence is there?" It's all clear in the ledger, you have to check, ask the master, it's not impossible to read it. But to smear their own family like this, the slave and maid really can't listen to it. ”

Then she saluted Wanyin Wanyu, "Miss Cousin, please go back to Fenghe Courtyard first, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and the aunt means that the master is in a bad mood, and it will be embarrassing to meet." ”

The master said so, Wan Yin didn't want to insist, just reminded Lan Yi to be careful in a low voice, and then left with Wan Yu first.

Let's say that Lan Yi only took one Ning Fu, so she calmly walked to Aunt Bai's house, naturally Xu's mother didn't talk a little along the way, Lan Yi didn't have this grievance, what the other party said, she had a set of words to block back, in a short period of time, your ridicule back and forth, so that Xu's mother felt that she had a few more gray hairs.

Later, Xu's mother was very annoyed, and she opened the curtain to go in, and without waiting for Lan Yi, she saluted and said, "Master, aunt, the eldest lady has arrived." ”
