Chapter 182: The Warm and Courteous Duchess of Xingguo
"We are!" The coachman looked at the questioning woman and said.
"It's really from the Qin Mansion! Then come with me and go that way, there are fewer people over there! When the mother-in-law of the Xingguo Mansion saw that she had found someone, she was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to the side.
She had already asked many carriages along the way, and they all said that they were not from the Qin Mansion, and they would find it, so they naturally brought people in first according to the requirements of the mansion.
"Let's go!" Shui Ruolan said to the coachman outside.
The coachman hurriedly turned his horse's head and turned to a side road, where there was also a side door, but obviously the side door was not accessible to everyone, the gate was very blocked, but it was not blocked here, and when they saw their two carriages passing, some ladies and ladies who were also waiting looked at them and guessed their identities.
Some of them were guessed and some were not.
The carriage followed the mother-in-law into the side door, and then went all the way around to a place, the carriage stopped, Qionghua and Yujie lifted the curtain, let Shui Ruolan and Qin Wan get out of the carriage, and Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi also walked down together.
The large parking lot, neatly organized and surrounded by tall trees, would have parked only a handful of carriages.
As soon as you look at the appearance of these carriages, you can know that they are not suitable for ordinary mansions, each one is wide and gorgeous, and the carriage of the Qin Mansion was originally good, but when it was parked on the side, it immediately looked a little shabby and angry.
Qin Wanru frowned, the door was so blocked, there were so many carriages, it didn't look like they were parked here!
"Mrs. Qin, Miss Qin, please come with the slave maid, our lady has been waiting for you early!" The mother-in-law said with a smile and stretched out her hand to lead the way.
"Your wife?" Shui Ruolan asked with a twist of her eyes.
"Our lady is the Duchess of Xingguo, and this will be waiting early." The mother-in-law is full of smiles and has a friendly attitude.
Shui Ruolan looked at Qin Wanru, Qin Wanru nodded silently, and the group of people followed their mother-in-law together.
The first feeling of the Xingguo Mansion to Qin Wanru is that it is big, very big, and it is almost impossible to go around the head, but the pattern seems to be a little different, the place where they walked before was dominated by tall trees, and the middle section was dominated by flowers, and now this section is based on the exquisite small bridge and flowing water like Jiangnan Yayun.
In one house, seeing such different styles, it can be seen that the prosperity of the Xingguo Mansion.
Slowly met more people, most of them came along the same road, and no one led them, but Qin Wanru and his party, the mother-in-law of the Xingguo Mansion led the way in front, and from time to time he whispered a few words respectfully, as if he was introducing something, which attracted many ladies and young ladies who met for a while.
They all speculated about who they were and why they let the Xingguo Mansion treat them like this.
Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi liked this feeling of being in the spotlight very much, and the two of them followed behind Shui Ruolan with a gentle and dignified appearance, and at first glance they really looked like a pair of sisters.
Such two beautiful and decent-looking sisters naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Under everyone's gaze, a group of people waited into a flower hall.
There are a lot of people in the flower hall, there are a lot of people who can laugh and talk, and one of the most ladies is the Duchess of Xingguo, she is not particularly outstanding, but this demeanor and behavior are very comfortable, and the attitude towards people is also kind, as if no matter what you say, she is listening to it with all her heart.
It is not easy for an identity like her to do this.
While greeting the guests, while listening to the others, smiling from time to time to say a word, and every time they get to the point, everyone feels that the Duchess of Xingguo is exquisite, handles things with ease, and has the best temperament and character.
A mother-in-law hurriedly walked over and whispered in her ear, the smile on her face became even bigger, and she stood up happily, "Miss Qin Er is here, why don't you come over soon?"
She commanded softly.
Miss Qin Er? The several ladies sitting around her were stunned for a moment, not understanding who this Second Miss Qin was and why she made the Duchess of Xingguo so happy.
"Who is Miss Qin Er?" One lady couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know!" "I don't know!" "I don't know!" ……
Everyone guessed about the famous lady in Beijing, but after thinking about it, I don't think there is such a person.
The Duchess of Xingguo didn't gossip with them, and followed the mother-in-law to greet them, and saw that the Duchess of Xingguo was actually welcoming them in person, everyone was too surprised, and the crowd involuntarily parted to both sides, revealing Shui Ruolan and the others who had just stepped into the door, and the huge flower hall immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes fell on them together.
As soon as he entered the hall, it became the focus of everyone's attention, Qin Wanru's brows furrowed slightly, is the Xingguo Mansion planning to build momentum for themselves, or for themselves?
Rather than building momentum for herself, she prefers to believe that it is the latter!
At this time, the Duchess of Xingguo had already walked over with a few maids and mothers-in-law, and the mother-in-law who led the way before introduced with a smile: "This is our Duchess of Xingguo!" Madam, this is Miss Qin Er! ”
The mother-in-law stretched out her hand and pointed to Qin Wanru.
Duchess Xingguo's gaze fell kindly on Qin Wanru's face, with a kind smile, and then turned to Shui Ruolan: "Mrs. Shui, I finally waited for you, please hurry!" ”
called Shui Ruolan's surname in one mouthful, and it seems that he has also inquired about Shui Ruolan!
Although Shui Ruolan had never seen such a formation, she also eased up at this time, bowed deeply to the Duchess of Xingguo, and then said politely: "Thank you, Madame!" ”
Duchess Xingguo enthusiastically went all the way in, and actually took a few people to move forward more and more, and it could be seen that the higher the identity of the lady sitting in the front position, Shui Ruolan stopped after following a few steps: "Duchess Xingguo, let's sit on the side, this is not suitable in the past!" ”
"What's suitable or inappropriate, if Hao'er hadn't been rescued by Miss Qin'er, something would have really happened this time, and the eldest princess Ruian mansion I took him to really had an accident, and I can't escape guilt." The smile on the face of the Duchess of Xingguo became more and more kind and touching, and when her eyes turned to Qin Wanru, there was a kind of kindness.
"Madame's words are serious, as if she is just handy!" Shui Ruolan said softly, her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, it was extremely natural, but she didn't move under her feet.
The identity of the Qin Mansion is placed here, although the Duchess of Xingguo is polite, but if she is not interested in really following the past, then she is a little ignorant of what she is called.
"Second Miss Qin is smart and kind, she is really a good child, this child is so good, I like it when I see it, I'll give it to you!" Seeing that Shui Ruolan's feet were not moving, the Duchess of Xingguo was inconvenient to ask, so she also stopped, turned around and looked Qin Wanru up and down carefully, nodded again and again, took off a pair of bracelets from her wrists, walked over and picked up Qin Wanru's hand, and wanted to put them on for her.
This bracelet was just taken off her hand, not to mention that the water head is clear, and she knows that it is worth a lot at a glance, so she said that her behavior of taking the bracelet off directly has made Qin Wan like infinite honor.
Qin Wanru stepped back quietly, helplessly holding his hand, he couldn't retreat for a while, he could only look up at Shui Ruolan, looking very embarrassed.
"Duchess Xingguo, how can this make her a child receive such a valuable gift!" Shui Ruolan hurriedly came over to stop her.
"Mrs. Shui, don't care, it's just a bracelet, I really have a fate to see this child, I like it very much!" Duchess Xingguo put the bracelet on Qin Wanru's hand, the bracelet was too big, her hand was too small, it shook twice, and it almost fell off, so frightened that Shui Ruolan hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Duchess Xingguo is so polite, it's like thanking Duchess Xingguo!" Now that it has been put on, it seems a little rude to take it down at this time, Shui Ruolan said helplessly.
"Thank you, Duchess Xingguo!" Qin Wanru smiled slightly, stepped forward generously, saluted the Duchess of Xingguo, and then took off the bracelet that was so wide that it was about to fall off on his hand, handed it to Yujie on the side, and deliberately lowered her voice and told her to put it away carefully.
Her actions are smooth, both calm and childish, which is very similar to her current age.
Originally, I thought that the Duchess of Xingguo was so blue-eyed and a young lady who had never heard of it, and many people were unhappy in their hearts, but a few laughed at a glance, and it was still a child, although it was decent, but it must be just a child.
At this time, some people who knew what happened in the mansion of the eldest princess of Ruian had quietly spread the news, and for a while, almost everyone present knew that this was the savior of the little demon king of the Xingguo Mansion.
No wonder the Duchess of Xingguo would think so highly of her, it turned out to be because of this!
However, the Xingguo Mansion is really in place, and it actually gives such a small girl such a big face.
"You're welcome, do you want to go to the garden first, there are a lot of chrysanthemums in the garden, and there are a few treasures from the palace!" Duchess Xingguo said with a smile, there are many ladies in the flower hall, and few young ladies stay here, basically they go to enjoy the flowers.
Duchess Xingguo said, her gaze swept over Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi, and then slid over the corners of their skirts, and she suddenly smiled in her heart, but the smile was as gentle as ever.
"Thank you Duchess Xingguo, but I'll sit here, Yuru, Wanru, Miss Qi, how are you?" Shui Ruolan said, she was already very tired along the way, and she really didn't want to move anymore.
"I'll stay with you, just like I'm going to play with Sister Rongzhi!" Qin Yuru finally got such an opportunity to perform, and immediately showed a dignified expression and said, this was taught by Mama Huang, but in fact, she really didn't want to sit here with Shui Ruolan.
"Eldest sister, you go play, I'm tired of walking, so I'll sit here with my mother for a while!" Qin Wanru pulled Shui Ruolan's sleeve, and with a bit of coquettishness, she shook her sleeves, and the embroidery pattern of the orchid grass embroidered on it was displayed in front of the Duchess of Xingguo.
Duchess Xingguo's gaze involuntarily fell on the top of the blue grass pattern......
