In order to increase the pressure on Aunt Bian's side, in the evening of the same day, Qiu Yulan sent Chun Dye to send two pear blossoms to insert a bottle for Qiu Jinzhu.

Although Qiu Jinzhu is inexplicable, after listening to her daughter's announcement, Princess Yang will definitely associate it with Qiu Mingzhu's visit to Qiu Yulan - this is obviously some negotiation between the two sides, the conditions have not been negotiated, and Qiu Yulan has put pressure on Aunt Bian by herself!

Princess Yang's attention was immediately drawn from Qiu Hongzhi's side to Aunt Bian's faction!

But taking two pear blossoms to attract the undercurrent of the palace became more and more turbulent in the autumn, but Shi Shiran went to bed early, ready to get up early to go to the general's mansion to wait for good news.

The next day, when she arrived at the General's Mansion, Ruan Qingyan had already gone to participate in the Golden Palace, and with the frenzy of working hours at this time, Qiu Yulan didn't expect to meet him.

She waited for General Ruan, and when she saw that General Ruan was tired, she retreated to the outside room to wait.

When the time came, the subordinate who went to see the gold list came back happily and said: "The son is the thirty-seventh in the second grade." ”

"Twenty-seven and thirty-seven?" Qiu Yulan was a little surprised, "It's a few places lower than when I was going to try." "Ruan Qingyan's score in the examination is thirty-fifth, if you rank the palace examination according to the results of the examination, remove the first three places, he should be the second and thirty-second.

As a result, there are now a full five of them, although there are nearly 300 scholars in this subject, and the top 30 or so are considered to be the best - especially Ruan Qingyan is less than 20. But Qiu Yulan still felt a little unhappy: "Although the palace test is said to be presided over by the emperor, he must have nothing to say about this decoration." It must have been suppressed by the Empress Dowager Gu...... But didn't Empress Jiang care? ”

Thinking of this, it was too easy for Qiu Mengmin to restore the title this time, according to the news she inquired, Empress Jiang did not resist Empress Dowager Gu much except for giving Mrs. Lu the name of "suicide in fear of crime...... This is really not like the style of the queen who took the initiative to provoke this court dispute.

"Could it be that something happened in the palace or the Jiang family that made the queen have no time to be distracted for a while?" Qiu Yulan guessed in his heart, but he couldn't stop, and ordered his subordinates to arrange the general's mansion one after another, and sent Chun Dye and Xia Dye to prepare to receive the next endless stream of visitors.

At this time, the rules are that two days after the palace exam, the list will be released, and the banquet will be given the next day - but after the list is released, it is impossible for Ruan Qingyan to return to the house immediately, and he will definitely be invited to the banquet by people in the same department, or people such as Ling Zui, to contact feelings.

And those who can't go to the banquet will send posts and congratulatory gifts to the general's mansion.

This is also the fact that everyone knows that General Ruan is too sick to take care of things, otherwise someone will definitely rush to the mansion to brush up on his sense of existence.

As a cousin, Qiu Yulan can't come forward as the hostess of the Ruan family, because Ruan An and the others only take things and don't need to entertain people - Rao is so, and he also takes a soft hand.

Su He looked at it and slammed his tongue: "These courtesies...... When do we have to go back? ”

"It's time for someone to add to the house." Qiu Yulan, who was putting the greetings one by one, said sincerely, "Now it's not as good as before, and if you don't add more people, it's really not enough." ”

Because he was afraid that Ruan Qingyan would lose the favor of the Jiang family, Qiu Yulan estimated the glory of Ruan Qingyan after returning from the banquet, and said goodbye in advance. Ruan An kept her: "Childe also said this morning that I haven't seen you for a few days, please be sure to stay for a while and let him come back to talk to you." ”

Qiu Yulan dismissed everyone and whispered to Ruan An about the Jiang family's choice of son-in-law: "Don't say that I have a marriage contract with Deng Yi, even if I don't, I'm thirteen years old." When I came to stay in the past, I could still say that my uncle and aunt treated me badly, and I had no other relatives, so I had to ask my cousin for shelter. Right now...... If people misunderstand what I have with my cousin, won't it delay my cousin's good future? ”

Ruan An also felt very reasonable when he heard it: "But you are alone in the palace......"

"I'm not going to be polite if there's anything, I'm doing well now." Qiu Yulan comforted, "Don't tell your cousin what you said, lest he feel uncomfortable." In fact, my cousin is very good to me, if it weren't for him, how could I be where I am today? So I can't hurt him even more. ”

Ruan An sighed: "The old lady and several ladies have gone too early, otherwise they will ......"

"When my cousin marries a wife as soon as possible, and my cousin-in-law is here, won't I be able to come over often?" Qiu Yulan reminded, "By the way, you have to pay attention, don't let your cousin be dragged to mess with what kind of flowers are deep and shallow—let the Jiang family know, and it is inevitable that they will have to be aggrieved for their daughter." That one I saw with my own eyes two days ago, a complete beauty! has a good temper, such a good talent, even if he is not a daughter of the Jiang family, he is not worried about not being a good person. Although the cousin is good, who in the girl's family doesn't want to have one in the eyes of her husband? Those who are in the box...... Can it be far away or far away! Don't lose a big deal out of a small one! ”

Ruan An hurriedly said: "Don't worry! In the past, the son was forced to hand over to them...... Now that the son has a fame, he doesn't need to follow the human nature too much. Son. ”

Qiu Yulan bowed: "Then I'll go." ”

When she returned to the Xihe Palace, she saw a gift in her yard, so she asked who sent it?

Xia Ran, who stayed behind, said: "It was sent by the eldest prince, and it was said that it was the son of the cousin." She and Chun Ran were officially given to Qiu Yulan, and since then, the title of Ruan Qingyan has also been with Su.

"It's strange, he wants Cousin He, should he send it to the General's Mansion, what are you sending me here? Do you want me to run errands for him? Qiu Yulan said as he walked into the house.

Xia Ran followed her and said with a smile, "No." The one given to my cousin has already been sent to the General's Mansion. The eldest prince said, my cousin has won the list, and you are also honored and honored here, so I will also give you a copy. ”

"Tsk! Check to see if there's anything bad, and if not, put it in the library. Qiu Yulan didn't believe this, and secretly wondered if Qiu Hongzhi had to learn from Qiu Mingzhu, and also wanted to use himself to divert or disturb Princess Yang's sight?

She felt her heart burn, "When I am somewhere!" You can use it if you want?! "The rhythm should be in your own hands, okay?

But there was no need to rush to do it right away—she had two things to do right now.

…… Tomorrow is the day to make an appointment to invite Shao Yuemei to come over and sit in the museum.

Originally, Qiu Yulan was just supervising the repair and decoration of the boudoir and Mr. Shao's residence. After all, Shao Yuemei is next door, and it is not good for her to come to the door in person under the mother's filial piety, so she will send Su He and others over to pick it up. As for the opening ceremony and apprenticeship, the eldest lady of the He family has already made a package ticket and said that she is here to help organize it.

In addition to this incident, I was reminded when I went to the General's Mansion today: Add people!

Now around her, in addition to the original Zhou's mother, Su He, and Qu Shan's family, it is Ruan Qingyan's personal maids spring dyeing and summer dyeing, as well as a few rough envoys who can't be on the stage.

It's enough to serve her, if you have to do something else, you'll be stretched thin right away!

Especially two days ago, I just looked at the house, and even Princess Chunfu was alarmed over there. I'm going to pick up Shao Yuemei tomorrow, who knows if Princess Chunfu will come over again?

No matter how simple the ritual is, it is also a ritual, and Qiu Yulan guesses that tomorrow he will definitely stay with Shui Jin and them for dinner-this waiting manpower......

Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid there aren't enough people to serve the food!

"Before, this was considered that one, and that one has been dragged down!" Qiu Yulan sighed helplessly, "My cousin will be very busy next, so don't wait for him to give me some eyes." Anyway, the person I bought is in my hands, and I'm not afraid of turning the sky upside down! ”

Let Xia Ran write it down now, and find a reliable tooth buyer in five or six days, "Don't make a noise before you go, don't let anyone listen to it, and let us seep some sand and gravel in." ”

She planned to buy someone by herself, but Qiu Hongzhi sent someone to ask: "The eldest prince heard that the lord of the five counties has invited a female gentleman to set up a boudoir school at home, I don't know if Mr. will be short of manpower to serve him tomorrow?" ”

"No need." Qiu Yulan refused, "I should have enough people here, at most I will call them harder." ”

Qiu Hongzhi followed Qiu Mengmin, that is, the Queen Mother's party.

And tomorrow, no matter whether Princess Chunfu comes or not, Shao Yuemei and He Shuijin are both hardcore queens. How can Qiu Yulan rest assured that Qiu Hongzhi will intervene?

As a result, not only Qiu Hongzhi, but even Princess Yang also ordered people to ask: "It is said that Princess Chunfu will come to the door tomorrow?" You're here to entertain the princess......"

"Princess Chunfu has already come once last time, and she still came directly to my courtyard, and she didn't say anything bad." Qiu Yulan unceremoniously pushed back, "Why can't you entertain this time?" Besides, the princess doesn't look like a person who likes to make a big fuss, but the aunt still concentrates on recuperating and not worrying, lest the illness get worse! ”

The words came back to Princess Yang's ears, and she was so angry that she pounded the bed for a while before she said hatefully: "This white-eyed wolf! I really regret that I didn't watch Qiu Yuqing beat her to death! ”

Xiuyan said cautiously: "Actually, the maid thinks that the lord of the five counties invited that female gentleman over, which is not an opportunity." ”

Princess Yang was puzzled: "What? ”

"Didn't that lady come to the door with the eldest lady to recommend, that's why the lord of the five counties invited?" This is not a secret, when Qiu Yulan wanted to tear down the wall and annex the nearby houses, the Xihe Royal Mansion also knew about it.

Xiuyan continued, "Or Princess Chunfu's teacher? But the lord of the five counties invited her to come to the house, built such a big boudoir school, and only taught the five county lords one - what about the fourth lady and our six county lords? ”

Princess Yang frowned: "You mean to let Jin Zhu go to her boudoir school too?" This can't be done! That little. You have also seen the city and the means of people. Although Jin Zhu and Yin Zhi are her cousins and cousins, how can she show mercy? Jin Zhu is only so big, and she hasn't been bullied to death in the past! ”

Speaking of this, Princess Yang hated it even more, "I just went to the queen, and now I will bring the person recommended by the copper-smelling tigress of the family into the house!" It's been a long time, and I don't know if the Queen Mother will ...... here."

"How dare the servant take the risk of the six county lords?" Xiuyan saw her groaning, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation to say what she really thought, "The Lord of the Six Counties is still young, and you are sick again, and the Lord of the Six Counties, as your biological daughter, is naturally serving in front of you." But, Miss Four, she can go! ”

Princess Yang's eyes lit up: "Not bad!" Qiu Mingzhu's cheap maid gave birth to a daughter, which is not a good thing! Last time, I went whimsically to find that little. Person...... It's a shame to be that little bit. The person was weak at that time, and he didn't dare to harbor or help her get out of the house! Otherwise, the prince rushed back that night......" snorted lightly, "Qiu Mingzhu is a big heart, that little cheap. Not to mention how arrogant and arrogant the true face is! So they asked their sisters to go and learn together...... Let's see how they get together! ”

Xiuyan smiled and said, "That Mr. Shao was invited by the five county lords, with the temper of the five county lords, will he tolerate the fourth lady to listen to the class with her?" And the fourth lady is not willing to be wronged, I am not afraid that they will not be able to fight when the time comes! ”

She pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid that the Lord of the Five Counties will not accept the Fourth Miss from the beginning!" ”

"I've never invited a female gentleman to teach only one person." Princess Yang sneered, "That little cheap. If people dare to object, I will also enter the palace to ask the Queen Mother for advice, what kind of discipline should be done for a niece who is so selfish and disrespectful to her aunt and cousin?! ”
