Chapter 112: Substitution
Wen Xinlan sat in the phoenix chariot and waited for the people of Ganfu to meet the horse before she leisurely walked out of the chariot.
"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." The people in Gan Mansion saluted neatly.
Wen Xinlan's gaze first fell on Mrs. Gan, and then looked at Gan Peilin. She slowly stepped forward, helped Mrs. Gan, and said with warm eyes: "The palace is uninvited, and the old lady of labor and the mansion go out to greet each other, and I really don't want to go." ”
"The queen's mother is serious, Ganfu can welcome the mother as a guest today, it is really brilliant. Queen, this is not the place to speak, please inside. Although Mrs. Gan didn't understand her motives, she was happy after all.
"Hey, Mrs. Taiwei is also there." Wen Xinlan couldn't help but wonder why the other guests didn't come out with them, but Xue Baoyun was here.
"The queen mother Wan'an." Xue Baoyun saluted again: "The concubine was drinking tea with the old lady, and when she heard that the queen had arrived, she hurried to welcome the phoenix." ”
"Let's go, let's sit together." Wen Xinlan's smile was gentle and warm.
The group followed the queen and Mrs. Gan to the Zen Heart Courtyard.
Gan Peilin waited for a while, and while no one was paying attention, she waited for Liu Rumei to come over. "Sixth aunt, the queen likes the fragrance of flowers, you go to have some flower tea and flower cakes, it's right."
"Thank you, Peilin." Liu Rumei was very happy.
"The rest of the people will arrange to accompany the guests to watch the play." Gan Peilin reminded again.
"Okay." Liu Rumei nodded happily: "I'll go now." ”
When the guests learned that the queen had come to the Zen Heart Temple, they knelt down to greet each other.
Wen Xinlan only said a few words to them, and then followed Mrs. Gan into the house.
Xue Baoyun is interesting in the end. The queen came over on purpose, presumably because she had something to discuss with Mrs. Gan in detail. She found an excuse for her interest, and watched the play with the guests, and didn't go any further.
In the inner room, Liu Rumei led people to serve fragrant tea and flower cakes, and the queen really liked it.
"I didn't expect the tea and refreshments in Ganfu to be so chic, it's really excellent." Wen Xinlan picked up the tea cup, sniffed it gently, and her smile warmed a lot: "Bengong Suri likes to drink flower tea, but it doesn't have such a magnificent color. In the end, Ganfu has a heart, and even tea is different. ”
Mrs. Gan said in her heart, Pei Lin must have told Liu. "It's good if the queen likes it. The granddaughter of the concubine is very much like her mother, and she likes to fiddle with these flowers and plants the most, which must be her mind. ”
"yes." Wen Xinlan smiled and said, "Peilin is really good. Although I was ten years older than her, I always felt very kind when I saw her, like I saw my own sisters. ”
As soon as this "own sister" came out, Mrs. Gan immediately became alert. Could it be that the queen meant to let Peilin enter the palace to serve the monarch? "The queen is too exalted by her. She, where is such a good blessing? ”
"Huh. Don't say that, the old lady, Pei Lin is blessed. Wen Xinlan stretched out her hand with warm eyes.
Gan Peilin resisted in his heart, but it was not easy to save the queen's face. He could only feign joy and walked up to the queen and stretched out his hand to hand it to her.
"Peilin, I heard that your second sister has been engaged to Ao Jue, the son of the Ao family, and will be married soon?" Wen Xinlan asked deliberately.
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded happily.
"Do you have a choice?" Wen Xinlan asked directly in front of Mrs. Gan.
Gan Peilin hurriedly shook his head, his heart beating faster. Should the queen really take a fancy to her as Jiang Yu said? Do you want her to enter the palace?
"Look at the girl shyly. What a little girl. Wen Xinlan smiled from ear to ear.
"She, she likes to be locked in the room all day long to read and learn calligraphy, either to serve flowers and plants, or to make incense powder, where do you have such a mind." Mrs. Gan hurriedly played a round.
"That's right." Wen Xinlan couldn't help but sigh: "I know that the rules of the Great Sima Mansion are the strictest." The daughters who have been trained are all outstanding. It's just that the main palace has a question......"
"Please also ask the queen to make it clear." Mrs. Gan was a little humble.
"It is said that the elders and the young are orderly, and the dignity and inferiority must be clearly distinguished. Although the second lady in the house, Gan Jilu, is also a concubine now, but after all, it is from Mrs. Xuxian, and she is the second daughter, how can she marry before the eldest daughter? Is there any reason for this? Wen Xinlan asked with some hesitation.
Mrs. Gan hurriedly shook her head: "There is no reason, it's just that Ao Fu came to propose marriage, and since it was agreed, it was ordered." ”
"I see." Wen Xinlan smiled: "I don't know if the old lady has ever thought about choosing a good family affair for Peilin?" ”
"......" Mrs. Gan glanced at Gan Peilin hesitantly.
Gan Peilin hurriedly got up and saluted the queen: "Queen Mother, my grandmother has always been in poor health, and the courtiers still want to take care of her grandmother for a few more years." Please also ask the queen to fulfill it. ”
"You stupid girl." Wen Xinlan said quietly: "Even if you are married, you can choose a suitable person to serve by your grandmother's side." That's the same as if you were taking care of it yourself. No matter how bad it is, I just need to go back to visit my home often. As long as the husband you choose agrees with your heart, you can go back to the house, and there is nothing wrong with it. Bengong thinks that while he is young, it is better to plan for himself first. Your grandmother also wants to see you marry a good son-in-law, and live a beautiful life, doesn't she? ”
Wen Xinlan's gaze suddenly fell on Mrs. Gan's face.
"That's right." Mrs. Gan hurriedly got up: "Previously, because of Puyang's matter, the queen mother spoke for Gan's house. I don't know how to repay this kindness, and I ask the queen to make it clear. ”
This is not only for the queen mother, but also for Gan Peilin.
Mrs. Gan's main meaning was to tell Gan Peilin that if the queen insisted on her entering the palace, Gan Fu would have no reason to refuse.
As for what to do with Jiang Yu's side, she has to figure out how to do it herself.
"This ......" Mrs. Gan was so direct, but Wen Xinlan couldn't open her mouth. Actually, this time I came to ......"
"Say hello to the Queen."
Gan Wanyun came in abruptly, and the people in the room were a little surprised.
"Who is this?" Wen Xinlan glanced at her with some displeasure.
"Back to the queen's mother, this is the third granddaughter of the old body, Wanyun." Mrs. Gan frowned displeasedly: "Why did you girl come in without going through the rumors, you don't understand the rules at all." ”
"It turned out to be the third lady." Wen Xinlan cleaned up her face a little, and said gently: "It's okay." It's quiet and well-behaved. ”
Wanyun was reckless, and asked the queen to forgive her sins. It's just that Fang Cai Wanyun met the housekeeper outside the Zen Heart Courtyard and said that the guards outside the palace gate asked to see the queen's mother. Because the inner courtyard has been controlled by the guards, the housekeeper can't enter, so he specially asked his granddaughter to come over to pass the word. ”
"I see." Wen Xinlan smiled a little uncomfortably. "Xu is there something going on in the palace again."
She immediately got up and said to Mrs. Gan: "Invite the old lady into the palace to drink tea another day." ”
"Yes." Mrs. Gan hurriedly saluted.
Gan Peilin also saluted with Gan Wanyun.
Wen Xinlan reluctantly shook Gan Peilin's hand and said solemnly: "Sometimes the choice between a thought is a completely different future. You're the smartest girl I've ever met, and you must know what is best for you. ”
She shook Gan Peilin's hand vigorously, and her tone was slightly cold: "Think about it." ”
Gan Peilin was speechless for a while, so he could only nod his head.
Mrs. Gan was already tired, so she went to invite Liu Rumei over.
"You take care of the guests, wait for dinner, and send them home." Mrs. Gan sighed faintly: "If anyone asks, they will say that I took the medicine and rested for a while." Don't let them come. ”
"Yes." Liu Rumei was very happy, but she didn't show it.
She finally has the opportunity to take care of the guests in the house like a housewife. This is undoubtedly a good thing.
"You two should go back first." Mrs. Gan was not in a hurry to tell Gan Peilin about this. After all, Gan Peilin is too smart, and it's not good to force her to tear her face.
Out of the Zen Heart Courtyard, Gan Jilu stood in the wind.
Gan Wanyun hurriedly saluted her: "Second sister." ”
Gan Jilu seemed to come back to her senses: "Big sister, third sister." ”
"Grandmother took the medicine and stopped at this time." Gan Wanyun said gently: "Second sister is afraid that she will have to wait and come again." ”
"Oh." Gan Jilu nodded slightly, turned and left.
"What's wrong with her?" Gan Wanyun was a little surprised by her reaction.
But Gan Peilin didn't say anything, and didn't continue at all.
"Why doesn't the big sister say anything?" Gan Wanyun asked curiously.
"Maybe it's tired." Gan Peilin casually made an excuse and said perfunctory.
"I know what my sister is upset about." Gan Wanyun suddenly stopped: "Actually, I did it on purpose. ”
"What?" Gan Peilin also stopped.
"The message could have been handed in by someone else." Gan Wanyun reached out to shake Gan Peilin's hand and put it directly on her heart.
Her heart was beating fast, and Gan Peilin could feel it.
"Actually, I'm scared, I've never tried to make an impression in front of people like this." Gan Wanyun furrowed her brows and said in a resolute tone: "Big sister, I know you don't want to enter the palace, so let me do it for you!" ”
"......" Gan Peilin didn't expect her to have this in mind, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Big sister, I really want to enter the palace." Gan Wanyun's eyebrows were solemn: "I know that if you nod, you can soar, but these are not what you want, are they?" What you don't want is exactly what I want most. ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded: "Since you are willing, I will try to help you." ”
"Thank you, big sister." Gan Wanyun's smile was a little bitter. "Big sister, don't worry, if I can get what I want, I will be grateful."
"It doesn't have to be." Gan Peilin looked at her solemnly: "You are helping yourself, and you are also helping me." ”
Gan Wanyun saluted her and left in a hurry.
Crispy Core and Ryulan walked over quickly.
Both girls were frightened by the queen's sudden visit, and they both guessed probably.
"I didn't expect the third lady to take the initiative to solve your urgent needs for the eldest lady." Liulan was a little curious: "The thoughts of these three young ladies are really hard to guess. ”
"Whatever." Crispy Core's heart was trembling: "Madame said that the eldest lady must find a lover who will raise her eyebrows in the future to entrust her life." The palace is a place where you don't spit out bones. How can our eldest lady go? ”
"Don't talk about it." Gan Peilin felt so tired. The people around her, the things around her, have gone through two lifetimes, but they still can't understand it. "Prepare a fragrant soup for me to bathe."
"Yes." Neither girl dared to say anything more.
At night, Chen Rui knocked lightly outside the door.
Brittle Core was startled and hurriedly walked over: "Who?" ”
"It's me, Chen Rui."
Crispy Core glanced back, and when she saw the eldest lady nodding, she opened the door open.
"What's the matter, so late?"
"The third aunt vomited blood." Chen Rui said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but I saw that the lights were still on in the eldest lady's room......"
"The third aunt is sick?" Gan Peilin suddenly understood Gan Wanyun's thoughts. After the third aunt and wife entered the house, she was always the one who was most easily ignored. Whether it is when her mother is there, or Mo Yanqing is the housewife, she will always be just a foil. Even if she put a lot of effort into pleasing the people around her, no one has ever taken her seriously.
Therefore, she must teach Gan Wanyun that she must have a good future.
"Let someone go and get her a better Langzhong." Gan Peilin felt a little unhappy in his heart. Or, in other words, she was a little envious of Gan Wanyun. Anyway, she can do some for her mother. And she will never have this opportunity.
"Turn off the lights, I want to sleep." Gan Peilin turned around and walked to the bedside.
Crispy Core had already closed the door: "Miss, if Madam has a spirit in the sky, I don't want you to be uncomfortable." ”
"Only you know my mind." Gan Peilin smiled and smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. "I really, really miss my mother. How good it would be if she was ......"
