Chapter 143 is out of the limelight

Lan Qingxuan is a thoughtful person, and no matter how thoughtful she is in this matter, there are things that she doesn't consider, which is the so-called variable.

Jian Yu was originally a character who was not planned by her, and he broke into her life like this, and many things were no longer out of her control.

Five days later was Lan Mingde's birthday, and before that, the Li family had spent a lot of effort on the arrangement, and she felt that this was a good opportunity to show her face in front of Lan Mingde, so she asked for this errand from Mrs. Lan early.

Mrs. Lan knows Li's thoughts, plus there have been a lot of things recently, Mrs. Lan is old again, and she doesn't want to worry about those hearts, Aunt Su is pregnant again, and she needs to quietly raise the fetus, plus Li has been admitting her mistakes in front of Mrs. Lan, so Mrs. Lan gave this errand to Li.

Early in the morning, Lan Mansion put up lights everywhere, looking beaming, that scene, compared to Lan Qingxuan and Jian Yu's wedding day, Lan Qingxuan felt that if she put a happy word at the door, it would be a proposal to arrange the scene for qualified newlyweds.

It's just that she has never argued about those falsehoods, and she also knows that Li's doing this fundamentally wants to lose her face, but she feels that this kind of thing is not something that Li can fall by.

Lan Mingde is also very prestigious in Qianyuan City, so on the day of his birthday, all the powerful people in Qianyuan City came, and he also changed into new clothes, and the whole person looked extremely energetic.

According to the rules, the children of the Lan Mansion have to pay homage to him, but Lan Yufang is in the capital, and it is impossible for people to rush back, so he has already sent someone to send a longevity immortal made of white jade to come over.

At this time, Li took the ornament of the longevity fairy and praised it to death, praised the jade quality, praised the carving, praised the price, and finally praised Lan Yufang's filial piety, and then praised Lan Yufang and Gu Ranmo to the sky, and the two of them were extremely filial, and then praised Gu Ranmo for being a young talent, and won the champion at a young age, and then praised Gu Ranmo for his high position in Beijing, and won the emperor's blue eyes.

When she came here, she smiled again: "Yesterday, Li Fang'er sent a letter, and the emperor was promoted to the first level of ink dyeing, and now he is already a member of the fourth rank in the court." ”

The Li family is like this, and the other people in the Lan Mansion are also very happy, the Lan Mansion is the only one in the court, Gu Ranmo has become a four-grade official at this time, which is tantamount to a great joy, Lan Mingde had to praise Gu Ranmo a few words, and for a while the hall was full of joy, and the other aunts and concubines had to praise it again.

Aunt Su and Lan Qingxuan stood together, and she said softly: "Look at the proud appearance of the Li family, this frame is also the one we all know that Gu Ranmo is just a fourth-grade official, and those who don't know think that Gu Ranmo is the prime minister." ”

Her background is not low, and she also knows a lot about the official positions in the court, Gu Ranmo's fourth-grade official position is placed in Qianyuan City, which is the most powerful, but it is nothing if it is placed in a place where there are many officials in Beijing.

In her opinion, if the official rank has not reached the third grade, it is not a big man, but Gu Ranmo is still young, and now he is already a fourth-grade official, if he grasps it well in the future, he still has a great chance.

It's just that the matter of being an official has very big ups and downs, maybe the previous day was still full of holy grace, and the next day he was suspended from his home.

Lan Qingxuan heard the sourness in Aunt Su's words, and just smiled lightly at the moment: "I see that Gu Ranmo is still quite able to mix, how long has it been since he entered Beijing and he has been promoted, and of course his future is limitless." ”

Her tone was flat, just judging something that didn't have much to do with her.

Aunt Su saw that there was no sadness or joy on her face, and knew that she really didn't care about Gu Ranmo, so she couldn't help but chuckle at the moment: "You are open-minded, this is also good." ”

Lan Qingxuan smiled faintly, in fact, it was not that she was open-minded, but that she knew a little about the things in Beijing, Gu Ranmo seemed to be beautiful, but in fact she was an empty shell.

After the Li family praised Lan Yufang, it was Lan Qingxuan's turn to pay homage, she had already prepared a gift earlier, but she had no feelings for Lan Mingde, so she didn't care about what she prepared, and just took an ornament from the Treasure Pavilion at random.

After she saw the Jade Shou Immortal sent by Lan Yufang, she felt that her gift seemed lighter, at this time, so many people looked at it, it seemed that she would lose face a little, but it was too late to prepare again at this time, so she asked Jin Niang to bring things up.

She and Jian Yu walked under Lan Mingde together, made a big salute and said a few auspicious words, and then presented the thing.

Lan Mingde motioned to the steward beside him to take it, and said with a light smile: "For a father, watching your husband and wife live in harmony is the greatest gift, Qingxuan, I want to get along with Jian Yu in the future." ”

Lan Qingxuan knew that his words were just clichés, and she responded with a smile at the moment, but Li said over there: "Although Jian Yu is the son-in-law, but Qingxuan is finally married, and Qingxuan is more sensible than before, I am a little curious about what kind of gift Qingxuan prepared for the master this time." ”

Li is wearing a new dress with a bright red embroidered peony pattern today, and the whole person looks very festive, in Lan Qingxuan's opinion, Li's appearance is just festive, because Li's temperament can't suppress the bright red at all, and at this time it looks a little less dignified than before.

It's just that Li's complexion today is very good, sweeping away the gloomy color of the previous days, there is an indescribable pride between his eyebrows and eyes, Lan Qingxuan knows that this is the Li family's happiness from the bottom of her heart after knowing that Gu Ranmo was promoted.

Lan Qingxuan said lightly: "My gift is not as valuable as the eldest sister, it's just my own thoughts." ”

She was even more proud of the Li family's heart, this time Lan Mingde's birthday, she had been planning a long time ago, and she had explained to Lan Yufang in detail, so that she must press Lan Qingxuan down this time, the carving of that longevity immortal cost Lan Yufang a lot of thought.

Li Shi smiled: "You are a younger sister, and you are a son-in-law who recruited, it is normal that the gift is not as good as Fang'er, I am just a little curious about how much respect you have for your father." ”

She had sent someone to inquire carefully about Lan Qingxuan's birthday gift to Lan Mingde before, and the news she got was that it wasn't until yesterday that Lan Qingxuan went to the Treasure Pavilion to move an ornament that was not too valuable and came back to make a birthday gift for Lan Mingde.

She felt that this was a good opportunity to slap Lan Qingxuan in the face, and Fang Cai's words were just foreshadowing.

She reached out here and uncovered the red cloth covering it, but as soon as the red cloth was revealed, the originally slightly dark lobby suddenly shone brightly, and there was a night pearl as big as a goose egg lying on it.

The Night Pearl was originally extremely precious, and now only the royal family and the giant merchants could have it, and the size of a pigeon egg was worth tens of thousands of gold, and it was not an exaggeration to say that such a large one was worth even the city.

As soon as the red cloth was opened, the hall was full of exclamations, Lan Mingde had been in business for a long time, and had heard of the Night Pearl, but he had never seen it, he was stunned when he saw the Night Pearl, and couldn't help asking: "This is the Night Pearl"

Jian Yu said lightly: "Yes, this is the night pearl, I met one when I was in business before, Qingxuan's father-in-law's birthday is a big event, I think only this night pearl can express her filial piety to you in her heart, and this pearl also has the effect of prolonging life, can alleviate people's illnesses, but Qingxuan feels that this pearl is a little too eye-catching, afraid of stealing the unnecessary limelight, so I covered it with a cloth, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be so eager, and asked my father-in-law to smile." ”

Lan Qingxuan glanced at him obliquely, his uncle, when did she talk to him about these words, and why didn't she know that he had a night pearl before, she suddenly felt a little painful, such a bead to give Lan Mingde, a cheap father, is really a bit of a tyrannical thing

It's just that when Jian Yu's words came out at this time, she always got a few words, so she smiled and said: "This bead is Jian Yu's heart, and my father likes it." ”

Lan Mingde didn't like it, and immediately reached out and picked it up, this is a priceless treasure, he knew that Jian Yu had some net worth before, but he didn't expect Jian Yu's net worth to be so thick, he just had a long life, and it was a priceless treasure as soon as he made a move

He was busy at the moment: "You have a heart, but Xuan'er is too, you and Yu'er are married, where can you still be called by name and surname"

Lan Qingxuan felt from the bottom of her heart that it was good to be rich, before Lan Mingde at most called her Qingxuan, but this is good, she was directly upgraded to Xuan'er, and Lan Mingde also called Jian Yu Yu, and this time it immediately changed to Yu'er, and this face became really not ordinary fast.

She coughed lightly and said with a little shyness on her face: "There are a lot of people here." ”

She only said four words, but she accurately expressed the meaning of her shyness.

Jian Yu knew what she was like, and when he saw her deliberately making this girlish appearance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Lan Qingxuan's words caused a burst of chuckles in the lobby, and Lan Mingde also smiled: "You girl." ”

After he finished putting the night pearl down, Lan Qingxuan saw his hand trembling with sharp eyes, she knew that it was nervous and shaking, and she couldn't help but look down on Lan Mingde a little more in her heart, and it hurt even more.

Li originally wanted to make Lan Qingxuan ugly, but she didn't expect it to make Lan Qingxuan a big show, how precious that night pearl is, as long as people with a little common sense know, her face suddenly turned black, but there were many people here, she had to squeeze a little smile, but that smile hung on Li's face, it was really a little uglier than crying.

Lan Qingxuan turned her head to Li and said: "Although I think it's a little inappropriate to use the nobility of gifts to describe filial piety, it's just that when my mother uncovered the red cloth, she wanted to see how much filial piety I had for my father, and now my mother thinks I'm filial."

Li Shi couldn't pull down his face when she asked him like this, and Mrs. Lan said in a round beside her: "Your mother is just joking with you." ”

Lan Qingxuan smiled: "I naturally know that my mother is joking with me, and I am also joking with my mother." ”

It's just that she was joking, but she had already pulled down Li's face.

The Li family has been praising how expensive the things Lan Yufang gave to Lan Mingde, how good the carving is, and which master's handwriting, but as soon as this night pearl is taken out, Lan Qingxuan doesn't need to praise the night pearl, everyone knows how expensive the night pearl is.

Li hated it to the extreme, and the handkerchief in his hand was barely broken.

Everyone present praised Lan Qingxuan and Jian Yu again, only praising the two of them for their incomparable filial piety.

The aunts and concubines who gave gifts behind Lan Qingxuan knew in their hearts that no matter how valuable things they sent, they couldn't be as heavy as the night pearl, so everyone calmed down and gave away their own things.
