Chapter 135: King Jing
In the blink of an eye, the room changed from laughter and laughter to a solemn atmosphere.
Yan Qingge didn't think much about it in his heart, but he couldn't help but be suspicious at this moment.
Although Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu are also so cautious and respectful to her on weekdays. But Yan Qingge has eyes, and after seeing the scene where they and Yan Runxin got along just now, of course she could understand that Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu were guarding against her.
Could it be that the two of them thought that she Yan Qingge would harm Yan Run's heart.
No matter who it is, it will not feel comfortable to be guarded like this.
Yan Qingge was unhappy in his heart, and said to Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu, who were kneeling on the ground, "Get up." I'm just here to ask you a little thing. ”
"Miss, please ask, the two slave and maid sisters must know everything and say everything." Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu stood aside, hung their heads and said.
Yan Qingge looked at the two faces of Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu, and the question that came to her mouth stopped, she changed her head and said, "The third lady is about to be a year old, did her father mention her birthday banquet?" ”
Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu heard Yan Qingge say this at first glance, and they were busy and fearful: "I have to ask the master about this." The third lady is a concubine, and it is the same whether she holds a birthday banquet or not, so why bother the family. ”
She sighed and said, "Even if you don't hold a birthday banquet, you always have to prepare for the weekly ceremony, is there anything missing from the two aunts?" ”
Aunt Ying said: "The eldest lady is bothered, when the time comes, we will pick up some things at will and give the third lady a catch." ”
The more they excused themselves, the more Yan Qingge felt strange.
On the topic of Yan Runxin's first birthday, Yan Qingge said a few words casually with Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu, and left Hanyouju.
On the way, Ruyi saw that Yan Qingge's brows had been frowning slightly, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" But I don't feel well. ”
Yan Qingge shook his head: "No! It's just that I think it's strange that Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu put the third lady on the top of their hearts, how could they not be willing to hold a birthday banquet for her. ”
"Miss Three is not the biological daughter of the two of them, maybe they are not so good to Miss Three."
"Nope! They were so kind to Yan Runxin when they had no one in private, and they didn't have to show it to others at that time, so of course they wouldn't fake. Yan Qingge shook his head.
"I guess Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu don't want to ask the third miss to see more people, lest Aunt Chu ask the third miss to go back." Ruyi said.
"They often take the third miss to sit with Aunt Chu, how can they be afraid that Aunt Chu will take the third miss away." Yan Qingge shook his head heavily.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu's actions make her a little unable to see through.
At this time, a hurried figure trotted over from the direction of Zhuyu Temple, which was very conspicuous.
This person is Aunt Chu's personal maid ink ring.
When Aunt Chu was pregnant with Yan Runxin, she asked Mohuan to eat a lot of strange things for her, and Mohuan became extremely fat, and she has not lost weight until now, and it is an eye-catching scenery everywhere.
Every time Yan Qingge saw her, he couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life. Mohuan was holding a box in her hand, and Yan Qingge saw that she was struggling, so he instructed Ruyi to go over and help her carry some points.
Ruyi's popularity in the Yan family is not bad, Mo Huan showed a simple smile to her, shook his head, and said: "Thank you Sister Ruyi, but my aunt ordered that this thing is made up by the third lady, let the slave maid personally send it over, and it can't be passed through other people's hands." ”
Yan Qingge was listening and asked, "Does Aunt Chu often let people send this tonic medicine?" ”
"Miss Hui, I send it every day. This prescription was obtained by our aunt and asked a famous doctor. Mohuan didn't have any scheming, Yan Qingge asked anything, she answered.
It's rare that there are no other people around, and Mohuan is such a generous character, Yan Qingge took the opportunity to ask: "I just came back from Hanyouju, and the third lady looks a lot healthier." Do you know who that doctor is, I want to ask for a prescription too. ”
Mo Huan shook his head and said, "This slave doesn't know, that doctor was introduced to my aunt by Aunt Hai, and the eldest lady will know if she asks Aunt Hai." ”
This news was like a bomb, and Yan Qingge didn't know what to say to Mohuan for a while.
Aunt Chu and Aunt Hai were the same black-eyed chickens that they fought before, and they once made trouble in front of outsiders, why is the relationship so good now.
Back in Qingxingyuan, Yan Qingge called Xunshuang and a few other young and lively maids who loved to walk around the house to question. The handmaidens said that Aunt Hai had never appeared outside since she became pregnant, and Yan Shuyu also disappeared. They hadn't heard of the news that Aunt Hai and Aunt Chu were on good terms.
Yan Qingge frowned slightly, but the news brought by Mohuan today should not be fake, it seems that in this life, because of the intervention of several other aunts, the family is no longer the dominant family of Aunt Hai, and many situations are different.
Even Aunt Hai is used to being alone, and her arrogance has been beaten down, so she can only seek to cooperate with others to maintain a stable foothold. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, for Yan Qingge, everything is still unknown.
The matter of Yan Shuyu and Yan Run's family tree was deliberately sealed, so it did not spread in the Yan family. Yan Qingge had his own plans in his heart, and he suppressed that breath as if he didn't know.
It didn't take long for Xiaoxia to arrive. Early this morning, Yan Qingge got up and received a post from Yan Xiuyu.
This year, it was the turn of King Jing's Mansion to reward the lotus in Beijing, and Yan Xiuyu was afraid that Yan Qingge would not receive the invitation, so he sent one specially.
With the post coming, there was also Yan Xiuyu's dictation, a creed written by his little servant. Yan Xiuyu excitedly told Yan Qingge that the antidote had been prepared, he would be able to take the medicine tomorrow, and he would go to the Lotus Club, and he would see Yan Qingge at that time.
Yan Qingge doesn't like to go out to socialize, for her, friends are more expensive than many, and now she has three friends, Ling Xiao, Yan Xiuyu, and Shui Ying, and she is already very content.
But this time the lotus will be different, Yan Xiuyu is going, and she can't say that she will go too.
Yan Qingge was preparing here, and at the same time sent a letter to Ling Xiao and Shui Ying, asking them to go to the Lotus Club together.
Ling Xiao agreed in the reply, but Shui Ying said that she couldn't leave.
In the past six months, Shui Ying has become more and more elusive, Yan Qingge has not met her much, and the two have been communicating a lot, and I don't know what she is busy with.
At this year's Lotus Festival, King Jing's Mansion did not invite people to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs to plant lotus flowers like other families, but held it in their mansion in the capital.
Jingwangfu has been inherited for hundreds of years, the area occupied by the house in the inner city is not comparable to that of ordinary princes, it is said that there is not only a lotus pond like a small lake, but also a hundred gardens, the houses built inside are even more exquisite, three steps and one scene, renovated in four seasons, so that people will not get tired of enjoying and playing from time to time.
Because he didn't go far this time, Yan Qingge didn't have so many things to bring, but he made two new clothes, picked up some replacement jewelry, traveled lightly, and arrived at King Jing's Mansion with Ruyi.
Entering the gate of King Jing's Mansion, as soon as he bypassed the wall, Yan Qingge saw a tall rockery, on which there were lush green vines hanging down from the rockery, like a green waterfall.
Bypass the rockery, you will arrive at the main road of Jingwang's Mansion, and the paving is a bluestone slab that is smooth as a mirror, and it is tightly fitted. Herbs and flowers are planted along the roadside, and butterflies flutter from time to time.
After crossing the main road, someone led Yan Qingge's master and servant and led them to the place where the female guests and maidservants were staying.
Ruyi was informed in advance, the rules of King Jing's Mansion are big, and the maids who are not allowed to take out are allowed to participate in the lotus appreciation party with the master, and the inner courtyard has their own subordinates in the house to serve the guests, but they still reluctantly told Yan Qingge to take care of himself.
Entering the small courtyard where the female guest stayed, Yan Qingge felt a chill on his body. I saw that the center of the courtyard had been hollowed out and made into a large pond, in which colorful water lilies floated, and occasionally dragonflies flew over the water.
Leaning on the side of the pond corner, there is a row of wooden frames carved with various patterns, on which are tied several beautiful flat boats, which must not be used by people in terms of size, but can only be decorated. A few cormorants were tied to these small boats, and from time to time they flew low, adding another scene to the water.
Yan Qingge was still looking at the scenery, and Ling Xiao ran out of the house over there. Ling Xiao grabbed Yan Qingge's arm, his face was full of displeasure, and said, "Qingge, let's go somewhere else." ”
"What's wrong?" Yan Qingge had just arrived, and before she entered the house, Ling Xiao pulled her away, no matter how she said it.
Ling Xiao puffed out his cheeks and said, "You still don't go in, King Jing's Mansion invited someone who shouldn't be invited, I'm afraid you will be angry." ”
"Who did King Jing's Mansion invite? Anger our little Lingxiao like this. Yan Qingge joked with a grin.
"You still have the heart to joke! Jingwangfu invited the sister and Yuan Niannian in your family, as well as two girls from small families, and called the four talented girls in the capital! Now everyone is around them and listening to them recite poems! ”
Yan Qingge's eyes widened in astonishment: "Isn't it?" ”
The four talented women and the four talented women in the capital are actually boasting about themselves, if you really want to talk about talent, they are all things that can't be put on the stage, how can a lord family like Jingwangfu invite them here, even if you invite a troupe to sing for two days, it's better than inviting them.
But the facts were in front of him, and Yan Qingge was also speechless for a while.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Little Prince Yan and Brother Shui Mu. As soon as I saw your sister-in-law, I remembered the Lotus Club the year before last, she used Brother Lie as a raft to make a name, and I don't know who was unlucky this year. Ling Xiao said.
With Yan Shuyu there, Yan Qingge didn't want to go over to find trouble, so he left with Ling Xiao.
Leaving the courtyard, Ling Xiao became happy, and chirped: "Let's go directly to the place where the lotus is appreciated, there should be no one there at this time, I made an appointment with Brother Shui Mu to meet there, and Lord Yan should also be there." ”
"You're quite familiar with King Jing's Mansion." Yan Qingge said with a smile.
"I've only been here twice, so I'm not familiar." Ling Xiao shook his head, looked around, leaned on Yan Qingge's shoulder, bit her ear and said: "My mother likes to go out to play, and she took me to visit many houses in Beijing, and the scenery of Jingwang's Mansion is good, but my mother doesn't like to come." She said that Princess Jing is not good, she doesn't use her eyes when she looks at people, but she prefers to use her nostrils. Isn't there a queen mother and a concubine in her family, so it's put up. ”
Yan Qingge smiled and pinched Ling Xiao's cheeks: "Okay, there is no shape when you walk, let's hurry up, don't ask your Brother Shui Mu to wait." ”
Ling Xiao smiled: "Brother Shui Mu and I see each other almost every day, I think you are afraid that the little prince Yan is in a hurry." ”
The two children often joke about each other now, and Yan Qingge is also used to it, she feigned anger and said: "Okay, you little girl, if you don't see you for a few days, your skin will itch." "Just go and squeak in the sky. Ling Xiao refused to be scratched by her, and pounced on Yan Qingge to scratch back. The two girls giggled and laughed.
