“…… I won't hide it from you, the reason why I deliberately hinted at her position as a side concubine at that time was actually to see if I could get other news? Qiu Yulan said after 1510, "But then there was an accident on my grandfather's grave, and then there was the Gu family's ambush, up and down this busy meal, where can I take care of this matter?" ”

Xin Fubing squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Anyway, Princess Qi has been recuperating in Zhuangzi outside the city all her life, and the Qi Palace's mansion is always presided over. Ni Jin is the proud person in front of the Queen Mother, although she is a palace maid, she has seen a big scene, and she has a relationship with the Queen Mother's master and servant, and the relationship is extraordinary. If she is the side concubine, it will be too late for King Qi and Concubine Tong to be happy! ”

"It's because she is the proud person in front of the Queen Mother, isn't this digging the corner of the Queen Mother?" Qiu Yulan peeled an orange, took out the orange stalk, divided the orange petals into three parts and handed them to them, and said, "Otherwise, the Queen Mother will not treat me well, I would have opened my mouth a long time ago!" ”

"Wait!" Zhuang Man took the orange and reminded, "Didn't this Nijin say that if you can be the concubine of King Qi, she will solve the Niguang for you?" Now that Niguang is said to be still on an errand in front of the Queen Mother? Then how can you make her a side concubine?! Of course, she did it first, and then asked Aunt Jiang Wu to intercede with her! ”

Qiu Yulan groaned: "Maybe she wants to wait for me to give an accurate tone?" ”

"Will you leave this to me?" Xin Fubing proposed, "Next, my mother is planning to take me into the palace often to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, I have more opportunities to meet Ni Jin, and my promise should not be suspicious of her." ”

"You are the future Lord of the Middle Palace, and your promise is much more reliable than mine!" Qiu Yulan smiled, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, this is really worth it, wearing a dress to the banquet will solve my troubles for many years!" ”

Xin Fubing said indifferently: "Anyway, my mother is going to say it, I'm just telling her!" ”

"So you should have persuaded Aunt Jiang to come back a long time ago!" Zhuang Man said with an old-fashioned lesson, "Look at my cousin's room, that is, my aunt and uncle are not in Beijing all the year round, so what a big house, Lady Lin, everyone wants to stretch out their hands to them!" If my aunt is there, borrow ten of them, dare?! ”

"It's easy for you to say, that's your aunt! No matter how fierce I am, I didn't treat you fiercely anyway, but I'm a daughter-in-law who doesn't have any blood relationship with her, okay? Qiu Yulan didn't think so, she thought to herself, "Such a powerful mother-in-law, it's okay if you look at me pleasing to the eye, but if you don't like me, you can't beat and scold me twice for three days?" I can't stand this anger! I don't know what it will be like then! ”

Thinking of this, I remembered that Jiang Yashuang had said before that Qin Guogong wanted him to be in the court for three years, and he would probably be sent to report to the Zhenbei Army at the beginning of the next year - and at that time, whether he had children or not, he would definitely not be willing to be separated from his husband for a long time, like Princess Ruan and Qiu Zhongyan before, they had not been together for many days for almost ten years.

But I had to go to northern Xinjiang with my husband, but I lived directly under my parents-in-law......

"But I hope that this mother-in-law is the kind of lord who is as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the enemy, and as warm as spring to the family, and not all except for her husband and biological children!" Qiu Yulan looked at Zhuang Man seriously, "Well, it's good to be like Man'er!" ”

In this scene, Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man had a few words, and the three of them finished eating an orange, Xin Fubing glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the house, and was about to call someone to hold a banquet, when he suddenly remembered: "Where is A-Xing?!" Why haven't you yet!? ”

Qiu Yulan and Zhuang Man were also a little surprised, but because everyone was in the capital, and the Jing Bo Ou family was Qin Guogong's henchmen when he started his family, and few of the Jiang family's children dared to bully their family for no reason, so they were not very worried, and proposed together: "Send someone to Jing Bo Mansion to have a look?" ”

As he was talking, the next person brought Ou Qinglan over.

She had always liked red, but now she was wearing a deep coat with pine flowers as the main tone, and her whip was still wrapped around her waist, and her face seemed a little heavy when she came in.

"A-Xing, you're late!" As soon as Zhuang Man saw her, he shouted loudly, "Don't explain anything, let's make three amends for us first!" ”

"What are the three lamps?" Ou Qinglan was so shouted by her voice that a little smile appeared on her face, and she crossed her waist and said, "You have the ability to fight for wine!" I'll give you three altars! ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Man, who had always feared that the world would not be chaotic, immediately raised his head and chest, put on a sanctious and inviolable appearance, and said angrily: "Ridiculous! We're all pretty girls, how can we fight for wine?! ”

Xin Fubing couldn't help nodding beside him, his face palpitated, at first glance, the two of them had been ravaged by Ou Qinglan together, and there are still psychological shadows to this day......

Seeing this, Qiu Yu smiled and a sense of superiority arose, and he shouted: "Okay! Fight for wine, fight for wine, what if you lose first?! ”

"Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to her!" Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing didn't know how much Qiu Yulan drank, so they hurriedly dissuaded, "Ah Xing was born in Northern Xinjiang, and it's cold over there, so it is said that both men and women can drink a few spirits to ward off the cold!" A few days after she landed, her father fed her with a toothbrush dipped in wine, and when she was three or five years old, she drank several glasses with her father every day...... Last time, we didn't know what she was doing, I had a headache for several days, and I couldn't get up! ”

Ou Qinglan hurriedly said: "I can't make the three altars possible?" ”

"It's okay!" Qiu Yulan waved his hand generously, full of confidence, "I don't need you to let - let's have a fair duel!" ”

"Could it be that cousin-in-law are massive?" Knowing that Qiu Yulan is not a person without proportion, Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing's eyes lit up, the two glanced at each other, and at the same time went to untie the purse, "I will press my cousin-in-law to win!! ”

…… Then Zhuang Man and Xin Fubing yawned, Ou Qinglan and Qiu Lulan, you have one altar and I have one altar, and it is still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser!

"How long do they have to drink?" Xin Fubing said quietly, "The dishes are cold!" ”

"I said, why did we have a headache for a few days last time?" Zhuang Man also said quietly, "The amount of wine with Ah Xing is not human at all!" ”

Xin Fubing said even more faintly: "Don't you think your cousin-in-law is more terrifying - she hasn't blushed until now!" Ah Xing's face is red and her ears are red! ”

"Let's eat it ourselves!" Zhuang Man picked up the toothbrush, "Otherwise, we can only watch it today!" ”

They were envious, jealous and hateful, Ou Qinglan and Qiu Yulan drank more and more, and finally Ou Qinglan threw the wine jar: "It's not comparable!" ”

"Won't it?" Qiu Yulan asked suspiciously, "I see if you can continue to drink?" ”

"I'm here for a banquet today, and I'm going to hate us more than Fu Bing and Man'er!" Ou Qinglan smiled and grimaced at her, and exclaimed, "I always thought you were delicate, but I didn't expect to drink so well!" Don't say nineteen, even my brother is not as good as you! ”

Hearing this, Xin and Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief: "You can be regarded as thinking of us!" ”

Xin Fubing called someone to get the hot soup one after another, and handed the hot handkerchief over with his own hands: "The dish is already cold, I will ask someone to change it to a new one!" ”

Because of the delay in the fight for wine, although it was only a banquet for four people, it was almost dusk when it was dispersed.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the carriage is only halfway there, and it is already dark.

Seeing that she was no longer traveling with Zhuang Man and Ou Qinglan, Qiu Yulan instructed Su He: "Inquire why Ah Xing was late for the banquet today?" ”

Su Heying replied and asked, "Young lady thinks Miss Ou is in trouble?" But with her family background, who would dare to bully her? ”

"Something must have happened!" Qiu Yulan rubbed her forehead, "Her face was wrong when she entered the door just now - and then she said that she was fighting wine, which was simply a cover-up, and she also wanted to use wine to drown her sorrows!" ”

Although it seems that it is not very likely that Ou Qinglan will be her sister-in-law, in the past two years, the two have also developed feelings in their relationship. In marriage, Qiu Lulan can't help her, but those who can help in other places will not be stingy to contribute.

When I returned to the Guogong Mansion like this, it was already completely dark.

Mrs. Tao has been very considerate to her since she handed over An'er to Qiu Lulan to raise, and she will send someone to wait at the second gate, saying that the winter nights are long, so that she can go back to her house directly after she comes back, and she doesn't need to go to the old lady to ask for peace.

Qiu Yulan thanked the maid, let Xia Ran reward her with a piece of broken silver, returned to her yard, and ran into Jiang Yashuang before she went up to the corridor: "You want to go out?" ”

"I see you haven't come back yet, I want to pick it up." Jiang Yashuang took her hand and complained, "Cousin Xin's side can't go if she doesn't go once, why did you come back so late?" Carefully air-cooled! ”

Speaking of this, he smelled the smell of alcohol on his wife's body, and said speechlessly, "How much wine have you drunk?" This way back is still such a strong smell of wine! ”

“…… A-Xing didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she drank a few more glasses with her! Qiu Yulan said a word, and was about to say something, Jiang Yashuang sighed: "You call her over tomorrow, I'll tell her!" ”

Qiu Yulan was still unsure whether Ou Qinglan's gloomy face was when she entered the door, whether it was because of Qiu Jinglan, or if other places were angry, so she responded vaguely.

"There's a reason why I'm urging you to come back early today." Jiang Yashuang said again, "Ling Zui is back!" ”

"Him?!" Qiu Yulan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Did you just come back?" He's coming? Or is it a messenger? ”

"I just came back, I didn't go to the eldest princess's mansion, I came directly to see how you were doing-I heard that you weren't there, so I talked to me for a long time, saying that I would go to the Li family to see Sister Ruan again, and then consider going back to the eldest princess's mansion when I was done!" Jiang Yashuang snorted, "I don't know if the eldest princess will hang this unfilial son and beat her after she finds out!" ”

Qiu Yulan smiled and said, "Are you annoyed that he suspects you of treating me badly?" This can't be blamed on him, when my brother left, he asked him to take care of me and my eldest cousin, but later he was forcibly sent to the south by the eldest princess and his wife, and now he is back, isn't it just to fulfill the original promise? ”

Jiang Yashuang's face was gloomy: "But am I the one who will treat my wife badly?!" Glancing at her, "You've treated me badly!" ”

"How did I treat you badly?!" Qiu Yulan was stunned.

"You see that you help him speak, but you don't understand the grievances of your husband!" Jiang Yashuang said confidently, "This is not a disadvantage? ”

Qiu Yulan glanced at him: "Since I missed him today, then someone will invite him tomorrow, I think he also wants to know his brother's current situation!" How can it be convenient for the south to transmit information in Beijing? ”

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the next day, Ling Zui was invited over, and as soon as he met him, he first said a news that surprised Qiu Yulan: "Sister Qiu, I heard that Xue Fangmi is cheap. Did the woman bully you three times or twice before? Why didn't you send someone south to tell me earlier? Earlier you used Jiang Nineteen's design to send her out of Beijing? I could kill her in Kyori with a single letter—and of course she's going to die soon!" ”

Qiu Yulan looked at her husband in surprise: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't hurt her life?!" ”R638
