Chapter 151: Winter Peony

Rao is Zhao family married into the Shangjia family, and was also shocked by the shamelessness of Mrs. Quan, the opportunity for his two daughters to enter the palace is that their husband and wife exchange the entire Hu family? What does it have to do with Mrs. Quan?

If they say that the benefits they got from Mrs. Quan, that is, because of Mrs. Quan, their own family was noticed by Mrs. Xiuwuhou, but this opportunity to take advantage of Enyihou and Queen Yun, the silver they paid to Mrs. Quan in the second room has already exceeded 10,000, so the Zhao family did not respond happily this time, but used the excuse that Hu Jiagui returned to his hometown, he didn't understand the outside world, and he had to wait for Hu Jiagui to come back to decide, and pushed the past, of course, the old lady Quan, who had never missed in front of the Zhao family, was not so easy to deal with, and directly served tea, also threatened the Zhao family with the future of the Hu sisters.

However, these threats only stayed verbal, and when Zhao went to Zhou Yan and knew that the two daughters were learning the rules from the aunt in the palace, and they also got the daughter's letter, Mrs. Quan's words really became the air that passed by her ears.

The Zhao family knew what the Yun family, the Su family, and even the emperor really wanted, and also knew that if the husband couldn't get what they wanted, the two daughters were only afraid that it would be more likely to die in the palace, so they didn't make any special requests, and only took the letter written by Hu Xueqing back to Sitiao Lane, and after arriving at the house, he called his son over as soon as possible and wrote a letter to Hu Jiagui.

And the old lady who was rejected by the Zhao family in the Xiuwu Marquis Mansion thought that a financial road was cut off like this, and she was sick all the time.

Each province in the capital has its own ears, eyes and sources, and everyone quickly knew about a pair of twin sisters in Kunde Palace, and also knew that the sisters were from the Hu family, a big merchant in Jiangnan, and they took the path of the old lady of Xiuwuhou, so although they all found that the widow who had worked hard all her life to pull her son into an adult turned out to be a stone pixiu, everyone also pinched their noses and recognized it, as long as their daughter could get her care, she would successfully become one of the sixth.

Rong Lan looked coldly at the maids in the main hall who were suddenly reduced by half, and laughed secretly in her heart, how much stronger can these so-called famous families be than their Rong family? Isn't everyone the same, doing everything for glory and wealth?

"What is my sister thinking?" Fan Yulin has always paid the most attention to Rong Lan, and when she saw her laughing alone, she asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, just think of some funny things, today you are the master, don't worry about me," Rong Lan doesn't like Fan Yulin to stick to her like a fly, where do these people really like themselves? It's just that I think it's profitable to follow her, and I'm a fool to think she's a fool!

Although today's Xiangyang Bofu is talking about flower appreciation, in fact, this midwinter will pass, and in the future, how can there be any flowers to enjoy? Everyone is looking for a good name, but the appearance still has to be done, Mrs. Fan smiled and said to the group of ladies sitting below, "A few days ago, Yiyang didn't know where to find the peony, this snow turned out to have a peony, I was very rare, specially raised in the greenhouse, Yulin took everyone over to see?" ”

Seeing that the girls got up one after another, Mrs. Li, who was sitting next to Mrs. Fan, said with a smile, "I'm not interested in any flowers and grasses, the little drama raised by my sister is very good, why don't we change places and listen to them sing a few paragraphs?" ”

Mrs. Li's proposal attracted the ladies of all the provinces to echo it, and it was good to listen to the play, and with the help of drum music, they could also say something considerate about themselves, which was better than running to the garden to enjoy the flowers coldly.

Although among the seven or eight ladies who came over today, there are several who are higher than Rong Lan, but everyone defaults to Rong Lan as the leader, Fan Yulin accompanies Rong Lan to the forefront, and the others are good with themselves, tasting the scenery of Bofu while walking.

"Today, my aunt only invited a female dependent, so there are no outsiders in this house," Fan Yulin turned back to the lady behind her and smiled, "You can be casual." ”

These are all on the list of the Ministry of Rites, although they have not yet been ordered to enter the palace, but they are extra careful in their every move, especially when they "meet" foreign men, Fan Yulin is vaguely telling everyone that Xiangyang Bofu knows the severity and has "cleaned" the surroundings.

Rong Lan naturally understood Fan Yulin's words, she smiled disapprovingly, she now has a soft whip around her when she goes out, even if she really meets some frivolous person, he can't find the north if he smokes the same, but for the sake of his "gentle" reputation, if he can't do it, he won't do it, especially Rong Lan's martial arts, she doesn't want to be known by the people in the palace, this should be kept as her secret weapon at the bottom of the box.

In the outer courtyard of Chuiwenxuan, the prince Luo Yiyang was pacing in the room anxiously, "When will I wait until this?" Can't you start early? ”

Looking at his cousin's anxious appearance, at first glance, he couldn't make a big deal, Fan Wenqing sneered, "If you can't survive these two hours," he said to the maid Nunu who was standing on the side, "Ask Lanzhi to accompany you out of the fire?" ”

With Rong Lan in front, Luo Yiyang of Lanzhi Orchid Grass didn't even want to look at it more, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm just afraid that Lan'er will be too vigilant and won't be fooled, don't forget, she has kung fu in her hands. ”

"What about kung fu? Let's go down with a dose and make sure she turns into water under your body," Fan Wenqing chuckled and arched his hand at Luo Yiyang, "Foolish brother, congratulations to my cousin first!" ”

"Let's talk about it when we have it," Thinking that it wouldn't be long before Rong Lan would fall on his bed, the smile on Luo Yiyang's face couldn't stop, but he didn't want to accept the favor of the Fan family, "It's like it's just for me, aren't you willing to get such a strong enemy into the palace and block Yulin's way?" ”

"Not only are we unwilling, I'm afraid that people who have daughters in the palace are unwilling," Fan Wenqing pouted, "Look at it, as long as this incident comes out, we don't need to spread the word, those people will help spread this matter all over the capital!" Maybe I'm grateful to us! ”

Luo Yiyang nodded, in order to get Rong Lan, it took him a lot of effort to convince Mrs. Fan, of course, this is also related to Mrs. Li of Xi'an, what is the character of his mother-in-law Luo Yiyang knows too well, if it weren't for his aunt coming, begging and persuading, and promising heavy profits, his mother would not agree so happily, and help arrange it, after all, this time the matter is over, the reputation of Xiangyang Bofu, I am afraid that it will not be good in more than ten years.

But for Luo Yiyang, compared to the stunning beauty who is about to arrive, what is the reputation of that idea?

In the flower room of Xiangyang Bofu, as Mrs. Fan said, there are six pots of peonies that bloom just right, although they are not treasures, but what is strange is that when they are flowers, several ladies gathered around to take a closer look, and they were all amazed.

Now that the list has been decided, there is no need to write poems and paintings to make a reputation, Fan Yulin walked to a pot of Baoqinghong, took bamboo scissors and cut off the most blooming one, and pinned it to Rong Lan, "My sister is more delicate than flowers, and this red peony complements each other." ”

Rong Lan is most annoyed to wear these flowers and grass on her head, especially the kind of big flowers, fortunately, Fan Yulin knows each other, and she didn't insert it on her head, she looked down at the red peony on the placket, and felt that the intention was very good, this peony is the king of flowers, and she deserves it, "Sister Lao Yulin, it's just that this flower is rare, so I cut it casually, it's a pity." ”

"It's just a few pots of peonies, and it's not a big thing," Fan Yulin cut off the good branches of the flowers with a brush, and gave them to everyone, and finally took a pink one and pinned it to the placket, "The reason why they can get our attention is that they bloom earlier than others!" ”

"And let's go back wearing it like this, and the ladies just happened to see it, just when everyone enjoyed the flowers together," Fan Yulin winked at everyone.

"Hey, it's clear that my sister wants to wear flowers, and she found such a good excuse, who are you coaxing," Fan Yulang twisted her body delicately, pointed to the peony on Fan Yulin's chest, and said, "I want to change with you!" ”

"Change it, you are my own sister, I am still reluctant to make a flower?" Fan Yulin generously removed her peony, pinned it to Fan Yulang, and tied her Wei Zi to herself, before she said, "It's not too short when we come out, why don't you go back?" ”

Fan Yulin's pretentiousness, all the ladies present nodded, Rong Lan looked at it coldly, this girl's means of quietly brushing people's favor are real, such a woman is in the palace, I am afraid that she will have to be a "virtuous concubine" in the future!

"I don't want to go back so early, I have to accompany my aunt and them to listen to the play when I go back, what is there to babble about, why don't we go to my sister's yard and sit and talk for a while?" Fan Yulang is an idle character, and when he thinks that he will have to sit and listen to the play honestly when he goes back, his brows are furrowed.

Everyone is a young girl, and they all have the painful experience of accompanying their elders to listen to the play, Miss Gu from Xianningbo Mansion said softly, "Yulang is right, why don't Miss Fan invite us to sit in your courtyard, I heard that you are quite good at chess, why don't we talk about a game?" ”

"Okay then," Fan Yulin has always been very talkative, how could she have touched the hearts of the guests, stretched out her hand to summon a maid and gave a few words, and then led everyone to her pavilion.

The population of Xiangyang Bofu is simple, although the Fan sisters are guests, Mrs. Bo still prepares a courtyard for them, and the Xiu Pavilion is where Fan Yulin lives.

Rong Lan went in to see, the yard is not big, one bright and two dark three main houses, the east is the inner room, the west is a study, there is a begonia planted in front of the door, a fig tree, and a small bamboo forest behind the house.

The room is not covered with thick felt like ordinary people, but the blue bricks of one color are not clean, the windows are inlaid with Western glass, the black lacquer furniture is placed with blue and white porcelain tea sets, and the sweet white porcelain large insert bottle is staggered with a few dry plums, and a pleasant air comes to the face.

"Miss Fan's house is really elegant and vulgar, and there is no luxury at all," Miss Gu turned around the room, her eyes full of appreciation, "I'll ask Miss Fan to come over the house another day and help me see how I lay it out?" ”
