Chapter 11 Take Our Cat and Go!
β¦β¦ Sending Jiang Yashuang away, Qiu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "There are nineteen people watching Qingwu over there, and he can't afford to turn up any wind and waves!" "After all, Guo Qingwu is also a newcomer to Beijing, and if he spoils him again, where can he compare to the Jiang family?
There are people here who are threatened, and the worries about Deng Yi's side are not very urgent.
Only then did Qiu Yulan have the heart to ask about the preparations for the outing.
Only then did I find out that Mother Li and Mother Zhou were worthy of being old men, and they were thoughtful - Qiu Yulan asked them to pack up the things for the picnic before, because they planned to have a good meal when they were on the outing, but these two piled up the carriage several times.
The reason is: "You were invited to come over, how can you eat alone then?" β
The words are very reasonable, but Qiu Yulan guarantees that the basis of this reason is definitely not based on "we are all good friends", but "to lose face and lose face together"!
Anyway, don't worry about her, she is very wealthy now, and she doesn't care about such expenses, so she just laughed it off.
On the day of the outing, she was called up early to dress up - the makeup was negotiated two days earlier, for which Chun Ran also went to Ruan's house to consult Ruan Ciyi, who has rich social experience in the eldest lady, Ruan Ciyi said after thinking about it: "Cousin Qiu's appearance is gorgeous enough, especially her eyes are like peach blossoms, and she naturally has a touch of charm...... But she is only fifteen, and she is traveling with a group of noble girls, and she is too charming and glamorous to attract her companions, so she is better to look lively and cute like a little girl. β
Qiu Yulan summed up these words: "It's a sweet and cute route!" β
So she combed the standard cute antique beautiful girl's double snail bun this day, wore the latest hairpin ring bought from the jewelry shop in Heshuijin, wore a primrose ground dark embroidered folded branch begonia flower leaf narrow sleeve undergarment, tied lotus lotus color full-breasted skirt, the skirt is according to the twelve broken, very wide, the wind blows fluttering, it looks extraordinarily petite - and with the pomegranate red crepe shawl between the arms, Zhou's mother, Chun Dye and others unanimously agreed that they are qualified.
"It's my good looks!" Qiu Yulan took a self-portrait in the mirror and said triumphantly, "I just said that I look good in whatever I wear!" β
"Of course, the county lord is the most beautiful." Mother Zhou looked at the energetic little master, and suddenly felt that her eyes were a little sour, she quietly pressed the corner of her eyes, and said softly, "It's a pity that the princess can't see it!" β
Qiu Yulan didn't hear her words clearly, and held a green hosta and asked, "Use this?" β
"This one, this one!" Su He and Shen Shui handed a hairpin to her at the same time, and shouted in a hurry.
"You eyesight!" Mother Zhou glanced at it, and couldn't care about remembering Princess Ruan, so she hurriedly walked up to point out, "It's hard to be in the limelight in this season, the county lord is young, and the golden hairpin is used too much to show his old spirit!" Of course, glass and coral are preferred! β
The twittering can be regarded as dressed up, after dinner, leaving Zhou's mother and others to take care of the house, leading the four maids of spring dyeing, summer dyeing, Suhe, and Shenshui, and a group of rough mothers-in-law and housekeepers escorted out of the hospital, gathered the autumn gold beads that had been prepared, and boarded the car and left the house respectively.
At this time, a row of carriages had stopped in the Jiang family's courtyard next door, and a mother-in-law who had been ordered to pay special attention to the Xihe Wangfu was looking forward to it.
Seeing the carriage surrounded by maids and women coming out of the palace, he hurriedly greeted him: "Is it the county lord of Ningyi?" A few young ladies in my family will be fine soon, please wait! β
"It's okay." Qiu Yulan didn't know this woman, but it was estimated that Jiang Qizheng sent her to wait here. She lifted the curtain and said, "My sixth sister also wants to join in the fun, so I brought her without telling Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I don't know if it's okay or not? β
The mother-in-law knew that she was Jiang Yashuang's sweetheart, and Jiang Qizheng would never mind giving her this face, but the Jiang family had its own rules for doing things, and she didn't dare to be good at it, so she still said: "The maid went to tell Her Royal Highness the princess, and asked the county lord to stay less." β
After a while, He Shuijin, who was wearing a hat, led two maids over, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just to bring someone?" You're too polite too...... Why did you bring one? We thought you'd bring a few of them with you? β
"This is what my aunt requested." Qiu Yulan saw that the convoy at the door of Jiang's house had no intention of leaving for a while, so he asked Shui Jin to get in the car and talk, "After all, the first time I go to such an occasion, I am afraid of being rude, and if I bring someone to it, I will definitely not be able to take care of it." β
After getting into the car with Shui Jin, she took off the hat, she combed her fallen horse bun today, and inserted a gemstone hairpin like a peacock opening the screen, which was beautiful and set off her spirits. Wen Yan smiled and said, "This is also ...... But don't be nervous, the place is big today, and Sister Qizheng doesn't plan to get people together all the time, so she circled a large area over there, and walked together if she could, and stayed away if she couldn't. In this way, we are at ease with each other - this New Year has just passed, and we are not going out of the city to spoil the fun. β
"That's what you said." When Qiu Yulan heard this, it was similar to Su He and the others persuading herself, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have never had this kind of outing, and the splendid slope - it is a good place to listen to the name, and I don't know what it looks like?" β
"Splendid Slope...... There are a lot of flowers over there, especially in spring. "It's not once or twice that he goes to Jinxiupo with Shuijin, and he is very familiar," It's a pity that it's not yet the peak of flowering, and it has to be in March - what kind of peach will die, what kind of bright apricot burns the forest, and it is specially written for it! β
Although Qiu Yulan was bent on going to the picnic, listening to her description, she couldn't help but be fascinated: "I must go again in March!" β
"You'll invite us then?" He Shuijin said with a smile, "It's not once a year, we all take turns to be the east from the beginning of February, this year Sister Qizheng has taken the lead, how about you, you invite us back in March?" β
"No problem." Qiu Yulan knew that she didn't say this to take advantage of herself, but to give herself a reason to associate with these noble girls, and she agreed with her mouth.
The two talked, and seeing that the carriage had not left yet, Qiu Yulan was curious: "Which young lady are you waiting for?" β
"When I came over, everyone was gone, and the lion cat raised by Jiang Qiyun ran away." He Shuijin looked outside, and then whispered, "I'm looking for it!" I don't know when I'll find it? β
"Lioncat?" Qiu Yulan was surprised, "Do you still bring a cat with you?" β
"Why didn't you bring it?" He Shuijin was stunned for a moment, and said, "We have all brought it, in the past two years, it has been fashionable to raise lion cats in Beijing, and it is not interesting to keep them at home, take them out to make them loose and relaxed, and second, to ...... Sister Qizheng plans to have a Danqing competition in the outing, and there is a question in the middle of painting a lion cat! β
Qiu Yulan had a headache when he heard what poetry and painting he was going to fight, and he didn't hesitate: "I'm just a shallow learner, so I won't participate." β
"Then bring your lion cat with you, too!" And Shui Jin said, "Don't talk about the side, everyone will be holding one in their hands at that time, just you are empty-handed, it's not interesting to think about it, right?" β
ββ¦β¦ Su He, you go and bring Da Bai over. Qiu Yulan thought that she was right, so she ordered, "Go and come back quickly, don't wait a while Miss Jiang's lion cat will find and leave, but we will be left behind." β
He Shuijin smiled: "Don't worry, in this case, I will accompany you, my coachman knows the road, and it doesn't matter if he follows the army or not." β
smiled again, "Your family is really cute, that's the name...... Chic a little. β
"It was just a casual start." Qiu Yulan knew the euphemism of her words - the names given to the lion cats by these nobles were almost all elegant routes, and occasionally a few different ones were cute and playful styles such as "lychee" and "glutinous rice", and the name Dabai could be said to be unique among them.
He Shuijin is obviously also a supporter of the mainstream line, so he complained about the name of the cat - after a while, Su He hugged Dabailai, and he was on the front and back, and a word came from the Jiang family's convoy, saying that Jiang Qiyun's cat had been found and would be able to leave immediately.
"Then I'll go back." He Shui Jin took his leave when he heard this.
Qiu Yulan smiled and thanked her for this trip, and had to send her off the car to walk a few steps.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw Qiu Jinzhu's maid Tinglan panting and hugging a lion cat with the appearance of "whipping hydrangea" and running out of the house, and when she looked at her, her face was a little unnatural.
Qiu Yulan thought for a while, returned to the carriage and asked, "What about the movement that has been staring at me from behind?" β
"When the maid went down just now, she was stopped and asked by the other side, so I told them for fear of delaying Chenguang." Su He was also running back and forth just now, and he was still a little panting, so he pouted when he heard the words.
"If she wants to learn, she can learn!" Qiu Yulan stroked her lips, thought for a while, and said lightly.
β¦β¦ On the way out of the city with the Jiang family's convoy, I saw other similar teams from time to time, and the street, which usually looked wide compared to this time, was suddenly crowded.
"There are so many people who choose to go out today?" Qiu Yulan was surprised.
"The servant still thinks that today is not a day off, and there will not be many people." Su He leaned on the window lattice, looked at the fragrant car BMW rubbing shoulders outside, and sighed, "It's really Xiu Mutian, how many people do you need?" β
The master and servant were talking about the crowd, but there was a quarrel in front of them, because they were far away, and the voices in the middle were noisy, and they couldn't hear why they were arguingβanyway, their carriage, including the surroundings, had been blocked for a long time before they could continue to move forward.
And it wasn't until after leaving the city that the mother-in-law who accompanied the car inquired, and said to Qiu Yulan while walking in the car: "At that street corner just now, our team collided with another team led by Princess Shou'an of Guangyang Palace, and the two teams competed for succession and pinched one, so it was blocked for a while." β
As soon as Qiu Yulan heard Princess Shou'an add the words Guangyang Wangfu in front of her, she knew that this princess had eight out of ten. Jiu is similar to Princess Chunfu Jiang Qizheng, not royal blood, but because he was favored, he was sealed.
She asked, "So who wins?" After all, in the Jiang family's team, she was also familiar with Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin, so she followed the carriage in front of her in a daze, and she didn't know who was first and who came after.
The mother-in-law smiled: "Naturally, it is Princess Chunfu's side - it is Princess Chunfu's coachman who is more powerful than Princess Shou'an's coachman, and when she rushes to the road, she forcibly pins Princess Shou'an's carriage, forcing them to watch our team take a step ahead - the people behind don't know if it's Princess Shou'an." β
"Oh?" Hearing this, Qiu Yulan asked Chun Ran for a small target mirror, took out the car and took a photo backwards, sure enough, there was a distance behind, it was a team of cars and horses, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, "It seems that when you arrive at the splendid slope, there is still a storm!" β
It sounds like Princess Shou'an and Princess Chunfu are fighting with their respective families, and Princess Chunfu won a game with the coachman's skills, so how could Princess Shou'an swallow this breath?
This will be staring at the back, and it may be that he plans to follow the splendid slope and try to find this field again!
Qiu Yulan couldn't help rubbing his forehead and sighed: "It's not peaceful to cook wildly, it's really ......"
