Chapter 15: The Conversation

The Splendid Garden in Autumn Moon is a beautiful courtyard.

There are plums, peaches, laurels, pears, begonias and other plants planted in the precincts, and there are several kinds of flowers that bloom almost every season.

Now this season is really the time for magnolia flowers to bloom, and the magnolia flowers with large bowls are full of branches, snow-white as fat, fragrant.

At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid in a pink silk pattern gown and a white threaded skirt hurriedly walked through the courtyard towards the house.

She walked through the main hall to the inner chamber. In the inner room, the embroidered curtain is Luo Wei, the ground is paved with colorful thread felt, the peacock opens the screen and the color embroidery screen, behind the screen is the mink agate couch bed, along the side of the window a red sandalwood dressing table, the piano table of fragrant pear wood is placed under the east window, and there is a Guqin with broken plum blossoms.

Yu Qiuyue sat at the window, reading a book of poetry in her hand, and when she saw the maid coming in, she put down the book in her hand, walked towards the maid, and asked eagerly, "Yulian, can you inquire?" ”

Yulian took a few breaths before replying, "Miss, I have already inquired, the Hou Ye rested in Chutian Pavilion last night!" ”

"Chu Tian Pavilion? Those two rooms are serving in Chutian Pavilion! Speaking of this, Yu Qiuyue's pretty face sank, "I was so dedicated to guarding against Jiang Ruolan that I ignored these two girls!" As soon as she thought that the second day of the wedding, Hou Ye would leave her and find the two girls, and a resentment arose in her heart. After thinking about it, I thought that those two girls were just slaves, and no matter how much they were favored, they couldn't become any climate, so I calmed down a little.

Then he asked, "Who served last night?"

A strange look suddenly appeared on Yulian's face, and she stumbled, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Yu Qiuyue raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong?" Swallow and spit out! ”

Yulian approached Qiu Yue and whispered in her ear, "Master Hou didn't ask anyone to serve last night. Hua Qing and Ruolin were both sleeping in the ear room...... "The next words, the voice was lower: "Chu Tiange's girl Mo Xiang said ......" Speaking of this, Yulian's face turned red and seemed to be a little difficult to speak

Yu Qiuyue's brows furrowed, and she said impatiently: "Dead girl, can't you finish the words at once?" ”

Yulian saw that Miss was angry, so she said in a hurry: "Mo Xiang said that Master Hou's life is very regular, and when he was at home before, every ...... I only call someone to serve once every five days, and I have never made an exception......" Later, Yulian's voice was like a mosquito bite.

"Five days ......" Yu Qiuyue was stunned, her hand unconsciously twisted the handkerchief, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he asked again: "Didn't the Qiutang Courtyard go to make trouble last night?" ”

Yulian shook her head, "No, Qiutang Courtyard is quiet!" ”

Yu Qiuyue remembered the way Jiang Ruolan stared at her with a whip the night before, and she still had palpitations in her heart, she snorted coldly, "It seems that she just sees me as a thorn in her eye!" ”

As he was talking, Juran reported outside, "The second lady is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the colorful thread curtain at the door was lifted, and a woman about twenty years old with a smile on her face walked in, it was Aunt Zhao's daughter-in-law, Jin Shaotang's wife, and Yu Qiuyue's cousin Wang.

"Cousin, you've been busy for two days since you entered the door, do you have time to chat with your cousin today?" Wang said as he walked in with a smile on his face.

She is wearing a light blue silk robe today, a goose-yellow brocade gown, a double phoenix sunrise bun, and a gold-dotted emerald hairpin, and she is wearing a luxurious body.

When Yu Qiuyue saw her, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she greeted her, "Sister, where is this, my sister has been trying to find time to see my sister, and I was still telling Yulian just now that it would be better to go in the morning or in the afternoon, but I didn't expect my sister to come." Come in! He turned his head and instructed Yulian, "Serve tea quickly, just use the Tieguanyin sent by Mrs. Tai yesterday!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Wang to sit down on a bench with orangutan felt.

After Wang sat down, he glanced at the furnishings in the house, and saw that all of them were exquisite and precious, so he smiled and said: "Although my sister can't be the main room, but the Hou Ye treats you very well, look at this courtyard, the furnishings in this house, but it will not be worse than that over there!" At this time, Yulian brought tea up, and there were a few pieces of green tea leaves floating in the cup of colored glazed official porcelain, and the tea fragrance was fragrant and refreshing.

Wang smiled again: "This top Tieguanyin is this year's tribute, a total of only ten catties, the queen mother gave Mrs. Tai half a catty, I heard that Mrs. Tai is reluctant to drink on weekdays, but I didn't expect to send you some, it can be seen that Mrs. Tai values you, and this will be the position of the family in the future." ”

Yu Qiuyue looked outside the door, her face showed panic: "Sister, don't say that, my sister is just a concubine, and there is a lady, how can it be my turn to be in charge?" ”

Wang slapped his leg and said hatefully: "If it weren't for Jiang Ruolan's sideways, sister, you would be Mrs. Houfu now!" This Jiang Ruolan is really shameless! ”

Yu Qiuyue lowered her head and wept, "Sister, don't say that, if you are heard by that person, it will be my sin again." My sister has nothing to complain about, this is my sister's life, as long as I can stay by the Hou Ye's side, I will be very satisfied! She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "Speaking of which, my sister can have today is all given by my sister, and my sister's kindness, my sister will never dare to forget it for the rest of her life!" ”

Wang's eyes rolled, smiled, and stretched out his hand to hold Yu Qiuyue's hand, "Look at what my sister said, although my sister intends to invite you to come over and create an opportunity for my sister to meet Hou Ye, but I also want my sister to have this ability to please Hou Ye, my sister is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous is the type that Hou Ye likes, plus my sister is born with flowers and moon appearance, how can Hou Ye not be tempted?" In addition, the Hou Ye is old, and Mrs. Tai is in a hurry to marry him, and she likes her sister's temperament...... Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye don't care about these very much, as long as the family background is innocent, the rest can get by! ”

Yu Qiuyue lowered her head and said, "Qiuyue is not worthy of Hou Ye, if it is not for her sister, how can Qiu Yue know Hou Ye?" I remember my sister's kindness. ”

The smile on the corner of Wang's mouth deepened, and he tightened Yu Qiuyue's hand and said, "Everyone is a family, if you are good, I am good, I still understand this truth!" As long as my sister becomes the head of the family in the future, don't forget my sister! ”

Yu Qiuyue immediately raised her hair and swore: "If Yu Qiuyue is sorry for my sister at all, let me be ......destroyed by heaven and earth."

"That's it!" Wang interrupted her with a smile, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I still can't trust you, sister?" In the future, if my sister needs any help, just ask, as long as my sister can do it, she will definitely not say a word! ”

Yu Qiuyue smiled, lowered her head, and a glint flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, by the way, after talking about it for so long, I forgot about it," Wang put down the tea in his hand, turned his face to look at Yu Qiuyue and said: "Ten days later, Mrs. Tai will invite the nobles from Beijing to come to the house to watch the play, and take this opportunity to officially introduce you to those noble ladies, I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn the rules in such a short time, and I can't come out to meet guests, and then it will be a good opportunity for my sister to show her face, and my sister should take advantage of it!" As long as all the people accept you, even if you have a firm foothold in this circle, your status in the Hou Mansion will go further! ”

Yu Qiuyue smiled lightly: "My sister knows, thank you sister for your advice!" ”
