Chapter 12: Trouble Comes
Qiu Yulan's estimation was not wrong at all, Jiang Qizheng led the group of troops to the bottom of the splendid slope, and then caught up with several horses-all high-headed horses, and the knight's armor was bright and extraordinary, and it was not something that ordinary rich and noble people could raise.
The pedestrian galloped all the way to the carriage, and only then did he pull the reins near Jiang Qizheng's carriage.
Because Qiu Yulan was in the back of the Jiang family's convoy, he was covered by the chariot and horse riders in front, and he didn't know what they were talking about. In short, a moment later, these knights once again rubbed her carriage and returned to Princess Shou'an's side, but the Jiang family's convoy had no intention of moving on.
After a while, there was a mother-in-law who came to ask the ladies to get off the car and go to the brocade barrier that had been surrounded in front to speak: "Princess Shou'an is also going to the splendid slope to go green, in order to prevent crowding, so I proposed to compete with my princess for three games, the winner climbs the slope, and the loser finds another place." The princess specially ordered the old slave to invite the county lord to come over and discuss countermeasures together. β
Qiu Yulan naturally would not refuse, and when he was about to get out of the car, he thought of something and ordered Su He: "Hug Dabai and go together." β
Chun Ran reminded: "County Lord, this is a wild land, and there are many people, in case Da Bai runs away......"
"I think this kind of competition shouldn't have anything to do with me, except for Princess Chunfu and Miss He, I don't have any acquaintances, these two can preside over the situation, and they may not have time to greet me. When the time comes, it's boring to stand and look weird, and you can still play with it with Dabai in the past. Qiu Yulan thought to herself that a trainee girl like herself, who had only been in class for two years, would never have the opportunity to play, in case there were groups of onlookers during the first session, she had nothing to say to Qiu Jinzhu, take Da Bai to go, once no one pays attention to herself, let Da Bai run away and chase after herself - take advantage of the situation and leave!
So he left Chun Dye and Xia Dye to guard the carriage, put on a hat, led Su He and Shen Shui to get off the car, and joined Qiu Jinzhu, who was already waiting by the car, and walked towards the Jinji together.
When I arrived at the brocade barrier, I saw a thick woven carpet spread on the Fengmei grass, chatting as a seat, and burning charcoal pots around it, in case the steep spring breeze froze many palm pearls.
At the top, Jiang Qizheng sat opposite Shui Jin, obviously the two of them were in charge of this circle.
There are already several ladies sitting on their knees far and near, all of them are showy and brightly dressed, and their faces are a little uncertain at the moment - no wonder, Xingxing Tou came out to go out, but before he went out of the city, he met people and didn't show signs of it, and everyone who changed it would feel unhappy.
"Lord Ningyi and Lord Ningtai are here, please sit down!" Seeing Qiu Yulan leading Qiu Jinzhu in, Jiang Qizheng smiled at the corner of his mouth slightly, and pointed to the seat not far from him.
Qiu Yulan was about to bow her head, when suddenly a black-bearded girl wearing a duck yellow shirt and a green Luo skirt turned her head and snorted, "Is the county lord of Ningyi here?" The things you provoked caused so many of us to be delayed here, and now that Shou'an has drawn three rounds of the road, what do you say! β
"Fifteenth sister, what you said is too unreasonable." Jiang Qizheng heard this person speak, and his already not very good face suddenly became gloomy, "It's not been a day or two since Shou'an's group pinched us, but it was the county lord of Ningyi, this is the first time he has been invited to join usβwhat are you going to do with her?" β
Hearing Jiang Qizheng say this, Qiu Yulan remembered that the black-bearded girl was Jiang Qiyun, the fifteenth lady of the Jiang family she had met, and she felt very unhappy in her heart: "What's the matter with this daughter of the Jiang family?" The three I've seen so far, except for Princess Chunfu, who is about nineteen, are polite to me. Fifteen and seventeen are more than one and have nothing to do, is it because I don't have my parents and elders to maintain and bully?! β
Thinking like this, he made a note to Jiang Qiyun, and decided that after going back, he must instigate Jiang Yashuang fiercely!
But looking back and settling the accounts, in the current situation, Jiang Qiyun obviously didn't mean to let her go after Jiang Qizheng stopped her, and said lukewarmly: "It's only the beginning of February, and the snow in Shanyin has not melted!" You set this day for this year to go out so early, Gu Qianna's person has always been afraid of the cold, and she usually has to go out until the end of February or even the beginning of March, so she will run out, saying that she is not coming for the county lord of Ningyi, who believes it? β
"I think what Sister Fifteen said also makes sense." The one who will answer the call doesn't need to be reminded by Jiang Qizheng, Qiu Yulan also remembers that it is Jiang Qisheng, the seventeenth lady of the Jiang family, she is wearing a lake blue spring dress today, combing a fallen horse bun, and her bright apricot eyes are full of disdain and ridicule, "Everyone knows that Gu Qianna's little aunt fell and injured her foot in Pingshan, and she is rushing back to Beijing day and night to seek medical treatment!" As a result, the county lord of Ningyi is still in the mood to come out and go out, can anyone who is a niece catch up and ask what is going on? ! β
Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng's hostility towards Qiu Yulan is so obvious that most of the ladies in the Jinji who originally planned to greet the new nobles put away their friendships, and they drank tea one after another, talked to the maid and talked to the maid, and some of them also cast a mocking and contemptuous gaze at Qiu Yulan.
The only girl who looked like Qiu Yulan sneered and said, "That Gu Ren just fell and injured his foot, and he didn't need to keep filial piety when he died, why couldn't Lord Ning Yi come out?" β
"You!" Jiang Qiyun's cousins and sisters successively attacked Qiu Yulan, and seeing that everyone's attitude was also affected, they felt a sigh in their hearts, and they didn't want to be questioned like this suddenly-and this girl was very faceless from her tone to her wording, and her eyes suddenly widened!
Qiu Yulan was also surprised, before this girl spoke, He Shuijin, who was the most familiar with her in this brocade, lowered her head and obviously didn't want to care about it, so Jiang Qizheng showed her intention to defend - how could a girl who didn't even know her name stand up?
She couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, but saw that the other party was greasy, with bent eyebrows like the moon, lips and red beads, wearing a tooth-colored narrow sleeve top, crimson peony half arm, blue and green fairy skirt underneath, and a begonia red shawl. In particular, the eyes like a little lacquer are very smart, pretty and bright, and the whole body is full of youthful brilliance.
"It seems a little familiar......," Qiu Yulan muttered in her heart, "but...... I really don't remember when you think about it? Could it be that I have stumbled into it by chance? But there must be no friendship, it's strange - who is this person? β
Originally, Sister Jiang Qiyun was aggressive, and she was already planning to fight back, but suddenly jumped out of this girl to take over, Qiu Yulan suddenly stopped again, and sat down on the seat, thinking that I want to see which one this is?
I saw that the girl asked with an unconvinced face: "I said something wrong?" What do you mean by looking at me like that? Want to bully people by relying on your sisters?! β
Jiang Qiyun said angrily: "Zhuang Man, what are you crazy about? Our sisters said Qiu Yulan, did you touch you? You stand up and count a few meanings! β
Zhuang Man? Qiu Yulan's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the Guozi Siye Zhuang Mo at the court meeting - she later learned that the wife of the general of Zhenbei, that is, the mother of Jiang Yadan, Jiang Qizheng, and Jiang Yashuang, is also surnamed Zhuang, and she is Zhuang Mo's sister.
Could it be that this is Jiang Yashuang's uncle and cousin? Is it entrusted by Jiang Yashuang?
"You are happy to talk about people, I am happy to stand up, what is your business!" This Zhuang Man is just the daughter of the fourth grade of the country's son Siye, and her background is worse than that of the Jiang sisters, but she doesn't know where she got the confidence, so she refuses to give in at all!
The Jiang family sisters, like their brothers, have been used to being domineering since childhood, where can they withstand such a provocation?
Jiang Qiyun raised her hand and dropped the tea bowl, and was about to have a seizure, Jiang Qisheng's eyes slipped on Qiu Yulan, and said with a sneer: "Can't the fifteenth sister see it?" People are in a hurry to be a family! I really don't know what kind of tutor Xihe Wangfu is, and he has no name or share, so he will make up for our family with a dead face......"
"Mr. Shao, the female teacher who is now sitting in the Xihe Palace, seems to have taught you in the past." Qiu Yulan is not a master who can't fight back and scold and don't fight back, this Jiang family sister has been holding back her anger after repeatedly looking for trouble, but Jiang Qizheng and Zhuang Man have blocked her successively, and she didn't find a chance, now she can't bear it, and directly interrupted, "Don't blame the people who teach you if you don't learn well, there is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is not a good material in itself, and she complains that the craftsman is not successful, and she can't make heirloom treasures!" β
After she finished her cold words, the brocade was stunned, and Qiu Jinzhu covered her mouth in shock, looking at her in disbelief - although Qiu Yulan is also noble here in terms of identity, second only to Jiang Qizheng in terms of title, but- who doesn't know that she, the county lord's uncle, doesn't love her aunt and doesn't love it, and she still has a grudge against the only remaining elder of the Qiu family?
Not to mention who is it that picks her not? The two young ladies of the Jiang Banchao family, this is a serious princess who doesn't dare to slack off when she sees it!
So everyone sighed slightly after being stunned for a while, thinking that this girl without the guidance of her elders just can't succeed, and she can't stand being told by the Jiang family sisters that she wants to take the county lord's shelf, but the pearls of the Jiang family, will they pay attention to the county lord?
Sure enough, Jiang Qiyun was furious, stood up, and said loudly: "It's against you, dare to talk to us like this!" β
"There was a sentence I forgot to say just now-" Qiu Yulan turned a blind eye to her anger and continued to say coldly, "Although the Xihe Royal Mansion has declined in the past two years, the backbone of the Qiu family is still there, I can guarantee here that I will definitely not climb the ......"
"Jiang Qiyun!" Jiang Qizheng, who originally planned to round the field, was in a hurry when he heard this, and got up and blocked Jiang Qiyun, but he didn't even shout "Fifteen Sisters", and looked at her angrily, "I don't welcome you here, you go out for me!" Get out now! β
A fool can hear that if she doesn't interrupt Qiu Yulan's words, she will swear in public that she will completely break with the Jiang family and never marry Jiang Yashuang! If Jiang Yashuang was like Jiang Ya Dan, a person like Jiang Ya Dan who "only needs your person and doesn't care about your heart", Jiang Qizheng would not be so anxious, but Jiang Yashuang just took the initiative to be sincere to this Ningyi County - Jiang Jiu, who has always been obedient in the past two years, turned over two times. wall to please his sweetheart, really when the Jiang family is dead, don't you know?!
If Qiu Yulan is forced by Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng on the outing he invited, it will have nothing to do with Jiang Yashuang in the future...... Jiang Qizheng didn't know how to explain to his brother after he went back!
Now Jiang Qizheng just wants to get rid of the two cousins who have nothing to do quickly, and hurry up to appease Qiu Yulan!
And although Jiang Qiyun had a big gap with Jiang Qizheng because of the disfigurement back then, the two sisters still maintained the scene in front of people, never expected that Jiang Qizheng would suddenly tear her face, and she didn't react for a while, and said, "What are you calling me?" β
"Get out!" The younger brother of a mother's compatriot and the cousin who almost ruined her appearance, Jiang Qizheng didn't have to think about it to know who was more important - she completely ignored the fact that there were still many ladies in the brocade now, and shouted left and right with a blue face, "Are they all deaf, aren't they?!" Get her out of here! β
Jiang Qisheng was dumbfounded and said, "Eighteenth sister, you are just looking at outsiders like this?!" Even if she kisses you in the future, but now ......"
"Shut up for me, too!" Jiang Qizheng caught a glimpse of Qiu Yulan's eyebrows after hearing this, and seemed to be about to speak again, so he hurriedly shouted, and directly brought out the identity of the princess, "You two will say one more word, believe it or not, this palace will not compare with Shou An today, and go directly to the palace to ask the will of the fourth aunt to give you a good look?!" β
"Sister Qiu, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about them......" It's just that Jiang Qizheng, who was anxious, didn't know, and at the moment, he listened to Qiu Yulan, who was eagerly comforted by Shui Jin, but what he thought in his heart was: "Very good, sure enough, Nineteen's status in Jiang Qizheng's eyes is much higher than her two neurotic cousins...... Now that Jiang Qizheng has torn her face with these two, if anything happens next, this Chunfu princess will definitely tell me what happened to her elders after she goes back! β
In this case, Qiu Yulan is of course not afraid of making things bigger, so it is logical to say goodbye!
