The next day, under the tireless call of Su He and others, Qiu Yulan got up very hard to freshen up, Rao is so, when she rushed to the general's mansion, Ruan Qingyan had already entered the palace.

"Why are you still here?!" Qiu Yulan heard that Ruan Qingyan had left, so he went to visit the old general Ruan, who would have thought that he would go to the inner room, but saw Deng Yizheng wiping the old general's saliva here! A few of them stood far away from him, lowered their eyebrows and kept silent, but two small servants stood beside him and gave him a hand.

Looking at Qiu Yulan's stunned appearance, Deng Yi asked angrily: "Why can't I be here?" ”

"...... you," Qiu Yulan said with a suspicious expression, "Do you let you live here at home?" "Even if your parents are willing, doesn't your cousin Gu love you?!

Deng Yi snorted: "What does this have to do with you? ”

"Why doesn't it matter?" Qiu Yulan said bluntly, "You have also seen that my grandfather is not in good health, so how can he entertain you when my cousin is a junior serving in front of the bed?" Don't you have nowhere to live, and you always rely here like talking? ”

"Didn't you see that I was taking care of Grandpa Ling for Brother Ruan?!" Deng Yi laughed angrily.

Qiu Yulan's face suddenly sank, looked left and right, and said to him: "You come out, I have something to ask you." ”

Deng Yi handed the handkerchief to the little maid, straightened his clothes and followed her out of the inner room, and walked to the corridor outside, and sent him around-Qiu Yulan asked him seriously: "Have you changed your mind, and I won't marry?" ”

Seeing Deng Yi's neurotic expression, she sneered, "Otherwise, why are you so attentive to my grandfather?!" ”

"You ......" Deng Yi's face was flushed, and he resisted the urge to scold because of his identity, "I am looking at General Ruan and thinking of my own grandfather!" Do you really think you're so beautiful that no one loves you? ”

When Qiu Yulan heard this, instead of being relieved, she became even more nervous: "I'll tell you, my cousin won't like you!" Don't make a mistake about yourself! ”

Deng Yi was so angry that he came up and kicked her directly, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you and me?!" Yes! Who are you and me!! ”

"So you didn't mean to beat our brother and sister?" Qiu Yulan dodged away, obviously relieved, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

Deng Yi didn't kick it a few times, knowing that the strength of the two was very different, he said hatefully: "At a young age, I don't know where to learn this dirty mind!" ”

"The heart of defense is indispensable!" Qiu Yulan said calmly, "Although you didn't hit me or my cousin, I still feel that you can't continue to live here!" ”

Seeing that Deng Yi was about to have a seizure, the corners of her mouth twitched, "You are the nephew of Empress Dowager Gu, and my cousin is more inclined to Empress Jiang." You said you lived here for a long time, should my cousin be dragged down by you? The only cousin I can rely on now is such a cousin, how can I watch you cheat him? ”

"......" Deng Yi was silent for a while, and asked unwillingly, "What about learning martial arts?" ”

"I used to go back to the General's Mansion, and it would be good to stay for two or three days, so that I could learn." Qiu Yulan said unashamedly, "You have the talent to lift people at a young age, are you not as good as me?" ”

Deng Yi didn't know the insidiousness of her truth, he was still very confident in his talent, and muttered: "You let me think about it......"

As he was saying this, there was a cough from outside the railing, and the two looked up, but it was Qiu Ran who walked over slowly and said, "Mrs. Gu is here, saying that you haven't been back for a few days, and you are worried about it, so you have come to take a look." ”

Seeing Deng Yi leave in a hurry, Qiu Yulan also turned back to the inner room and continued to serve General Ruan-Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Qiu Ran to run over again: "Mrs. Gu heard that the county lord is also here, and wants to ask the county lord to go out and say a few words." ”

Qiu Yulan and the others were stunned: "What does this mean?!" ”

"Ugly daughter-in-law meets in-laws?" Su He blurted out, and was immediately glared at fiercely by everyone: "What did you say!" ”

Qiu Yulan said indignantly: "That's it! Where am I ugly?! I don't want to be too pretty! ”

After teasing Xiao Suhe, she asked with a straight face, "How does Mrs. Gu know that I am here?" Did Deng Yi tell her? ”

"The maid was just in the door, because Mrs. Gu said that there was no female presiding officer in our house, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so she called Deng Gongzi out to speak." Qiu Ran said a little embarrassed, "The maid didn't hear it either." She thought for a moment, "But looking at Deng Gongzi's face is reluctant, maybe it's not what he said?" Maybe before Deng Gongzi passed, Menzi said that he had leaked his mouth? ”

Qiu Yulan said: "This is unlikely, right? I am a woman, how can I be asked casually? "Is such a disciple afraid of not being punished?

Qiu Ran bit her lip and asked, "Then is the county lord going?" ”

“…… Go ahead. Qiu Yulan hesitated for a moment, got up and said, "How can I grow up to a generation, come to the door and wait in person - it's not good to dry." Besides, I was expecting her to take a fancy to me! ”

When Mrs. Gu came, she didn't plan to enter the General's Mansion, for fear that the carriage would stop outside the gate to attract attention, so she specially found the side door and waited.

Before Qiu Yulan stepped out of the threshold, she saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes surrounded by four or five maids next to an oil-walled light car.

Deng Yi's appearance is seventy percent similar to this beautiful woman, and at a glance it can be seen that she is the niece of the current Empress Dowager Gu and the concubine of the King of Guangyang, Mrs. Gu - with Deng Yi's stunning appearance, you can imagine the appearance of this Mrs. Gu.

"You're Trolling?" Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up when she saw Qiu Yulan coming out, and she asked with a smile.

"Qiu Yulan has seen Madame." Qiu Yulan politely performed the etiquette of meeting the elders.

Deng Yi, who was behind Mrs. Gu, pursed the corners of his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "I will pretend!" ”

"Shut up!" When Mrs. Gu heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she immediately scolded her son, and then smiled brightly at Xiang Qiulan, "Good boy, I don't want you to look so good, the flowers are so good, I can't even take my eyes off it." ”

Qiu Yulan habitually humbled a sentence, and said politely: "Madame is really stunning." ”

"I'm so old, why am I still so stunning?" Mrs. Gu smiled.

A big maid who was holding her arm smiled and joked: "The county lord of Ningyi is beautiful and unique, and our wife is also more beautiful than a peony, and the maid looks at you two not like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like mother and daughter." ”

"A daughter may not have a daughter-in-law, after all, the daughter will get married." Mrs. Gu looked at her prospective daughter-in-law with a kind expression, "The daughter-in-law is the one who has been in front of me for a long time!" ”

Qiu Yulan's face couldn't help but change when she heard this: Mrs. Gu personally rushed over to see her, and reminded herself that she was her daughter-in-law...... What is the rhythm? She glanced at Deng Yi out of the corner of her eye, but saw that Deng Yi was also stunned.

"Madame, you're wrong." Qiu Yulan's tone was a little colder this time, and this attitude immediately made the intimate scene seem embarrassing.

Hearing the estrangement in her tone, Mrs. Gu couldn't help frowning, but after a pause, she slowed down her tone: "You kid! There will be no one else here, let's meet in private, why bother to see each other like this? Hengzhi, you are out of your mother's filial piety, and you are a member of my Deng family. ”

Qiu Yulan asked lightly: "Madame is calling today, I don't know what advice I have?" ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered Jiang Yashuang's guidance, and hurriedly added, "Today, my cousin entered the palace to participate in the palace test, and I have to listen to my cousin's words, so I may not be able to answer what my wife said immediately, and I have to ask my cousin what he means." ”

"......," Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment before muttering, "You have to ask General Ruan Xiao about everything?" ”

Qiu Yulan lowered her eyebrows and tried to make herself look unassertive: "What you said is that my cousin said that I am young and ignorant, and I have asked him everything before I can do it, so as not to do something wrong without knowing it!" The cousin also said...... The cousin said again...... My cousin once said...... My cousin used to say...... My cousin also said...... My cousin said...... Cousin......"

Mrs. Gu finally had enough of her gushing "cousin said", and interrupted with a not very good-looking face: "Why do you listen to your cousin for everything?!" If he were your own brother, he would pay it back, this brother with a different surname is two families in the end! You yourself have an uncle and cousin, and your aunt taught you, how can you be close to this Ruan Xiao General! spread the word, and you don't have to let the people talk about your name! ”

"But my cousin said......" Qiu Yulan's voice was interrupted again by Mrs. Gu—this time Mrs. Gu's face was even more ugly: "Enough! You are the daughter-in-law of my Deng family, even if the Qiu family doesn't care about you, it should be me and Yi'er who you should ask for advice! And not what General Nguyen Xiao! ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu took a deep breath and said, "Now you have to keep your mother's filial piety, so I'll find you two mothers who know the rules, and you can go back to the palace now!" Don't stay in the General's Mansion anymore...... If General Ruan doesn't call you in the future, you don't want to come again! General Ruan Xiao has not married a wife yet, you always run this way, it is not good for you, Yi'er, and General Ruan Xiao, do you understand! ”

Listening to her merciless reprimand, Chun Ran, Su He and others were a little resentful, but because she was Qiu Yulan's quasi-mother-in-law, they didn't dare to say much.

Qiu Yulan looked at Mrs. Gu in embarrassment: "However, my grandfather has always been sick, and if I don't come here often, it will be against filial piety." ”

Mrs. Gu grimaced and said, "He has General Ruan Xiao to take care of!" ”

"But my cousin said that he is only the heir, and I am the only blood and blood of my grandfather, and I serve my grandfather, which is different from his serving." Qiu Yulan bit her lip with a distressed expression, "So even if my grandfather has a cousin to serve, I have to come often." ”

"......" Mrs. Gu suppressed her anger, "If you want to come over, you can do it—I'll send you the mother who teaches the rules to ...... tomorrow."

"But I have a female gentleman...... "Qiu Yulan blurted out, "in case the mother you sent said something different from what the female gentleman said......

Mrs. Gu said angrily: "Female gentleman! What kind of gentleman can you get?! ”

"It was Mr. Shao, who was recommended to me by the eldest lady, to teach Princess Chunfu." Qiu Yulan said worriedly, "We've already said it. ”

Mrs. Gu's face turned pale, and she said coldly: "The eldest lady and Princess Chunfu are all from the Jiang family!" You are my daughter-in-law of the Deng family! Why do you want the female gentleman they recommend, but you don't want the mother I recommend to you? Are you trying to disobey me? ”

Qiu Yulan showed timidity, lowered his head and remained silent.

Mrs. Gu asked again, and she muttered, "Tell the eldest lady that Mr. Shao is very good, and I ...... I heard that she was the young lady of Uncle Cheng's family, and I really didn't dare to refuse...... Your Recommended ...... I...... I don't dare to refuse...... It is...... I'm afraid of getting angry with the eldest lady...... I ......"

"What a non-compromising thing!" Mrs. Gu glanced at her with hatred, and she didn't want to play any more kind mother-in-law, so she shook her hand and got into the car—after sitting down in the car, she remembered that her son was still there, and ordered angrily, "Why are you stunned?" Don't go pack up yet! Do you want to live here until the earth is desolate? ”

Seeing Deng Yi's strange expression, Mrs. Gu sighed upsetly: "What kind of life is this?!" ”
