Chapter 20 Teach you to be a man for my brother
Ruan Qingyan left Lian Ding and Qiu Yulan to eat, and chatted for a while after the meal, and Lian Ding left because he wanted to go back to restore his life. Ruan Qingyan was about to continue talking to Qiu Yulan, and he didn't want to go to the "Jinbao Pavilion" with two or three groups of people in a row, so Qiu Yulan got up: "Cousin, go ahead, anyway, it's only a few days, let's talk about it later." ”
"You have to be careful in the palace, if there is anything you want, just send someone to tell you." Ruan Qingyan had no choice but to send her to the car, and after repeated instructions, he let her go.
Out of the General's Mansion, Qiu Yulan sighed: "My cousin is becoming more and more like an elder now, I really have a headache when I see him!" ”
Su He smiled and said, "Cousin, I feel sorry for you." ”
"Didn't you see me being trained just now?" Qiu Yulan squinted at her.
"That's for your good, too!" Su He gloated and said, "The maid also thinks that you are too jumpy-you are also thirteen now, can your cousin let you continue to mess around?" ”
Qiu Yulan was angry: "Whose maid are you?!" In the future, I will promise you to be a concubine to my cousin, and my future cousin-in-law will harshly kill you! ”
Su He was not afraid at all, and stuck out his tongue: "Didn't you say that you want to be a good sister-in-law and get along with your future cousin-in-law?" actually gave her personal maid to her cousin as a concubine!? ”
"Do you dare to be stupid?!" Qiu Yulan nodded her forehead hatefully.
After arguing all the way, he returned to the Xihe Palace, and before he entered the house and sat down, Xia Ran came out and said: "Princess Chunfu next door and Miss He jointly posted a post, inviting the county lord to go to Yunyi Tower on the shore of Jinghu Lake in the south of the city on the ninth day of April to participate in the Begonia Word Meeting. ”
Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Where can I go out now?" ”
Xia Ran followed her into the house and said, "I can go." The person who sent the post said that although there is a begonia forest downstairs in Yunyi, it is not very good, so Princess Chunfu plans to bring a few pots of begonia bonsai over, one of which is a birthday gift given to the Duchess of Qin by the first prince. When you remember, the first prince was gone, and now it makes sense to go and see things related to the first prince. ”
"How do I hear that this so-called word will come specifically at me?" Qiu Yulan sat down on the top and was about to pick up the tea bowl, when he suddenly thought of something, "The ninth day of the fourth month? Isn't this the day of the Oiran race? ”
Xia Ran said: "It's not just the day of the Oiran - do you know where Yunyi Tower is?" It is not far from the 'Drinking Spring Building', and the 'Jinbao Pavilion' is also across the lake. The place where the Oiran is raced is on the Mirror Lake! ”
"I see!" Qiu Yulan said with a solemn face, "I'll just say that it's not appropriate for my cousin to mix with this competition!" Sure enough, Princess Chunfu was not at ease. ”
Xia Ran also felt that this was the case, so he specially explained the location of Yunyi Tower: "Fortunately, the matter can be recovered, otherwise Her Royal Highness the Princess would not have deliberately found a reason for you to go and invited you to go with me!" ”
Qiu Yulan pondered for a moment and said, "I have to think of a foolproof way to explain to my cousin, otherwise I will become an enemy if I don't get married, and it will be troublesome!" ”
The master and servant discussed for a long time, because they didn't know the degree of suspicion of Jiang Qizheng, so they could only improvise after they arrived.
"Since it's a Begonia Word Club, shouldn't the county master think about a few songs first, and then spare them?" Xia Ran reminded again.
Qiu Yulan shook her head: "How can I still have this mind now?" Besides, I'm here to see things and think about people now, and I'm not going to participate in the word meeting. ”
Xia Ran thought about it too.
In the next few days, Qiu Lulan was worried about how to tell Ruan Qingyan to Jiang Qizheng, so that he couldn't concentrate during class.
Shao Yuemei has been teaching for more than ten years, how rich is her classroom experience? At a glance, I could see that she had something on her mind.
So Jiang Qizheng got the latest news again: "Since receiving the post from you and Miss He, Lord Ningyi has been a little distracted, and he has been distracted in class several times. ”
"What is she nervous about? Can we still eat her? Because He Shui Jin was not there this time, Jiang Qizheng went to discuss with the eighth sister-in-law, Xiao Tao, "However, eighth sister-in-law, do you say that she is nervous, or are you worried that her affair with Ruan Qingyan will be noticed by us, so she is weak-hearted?" ”
Xiao Tao smiled and said: "I haven't even seen anyone, you let me say this, where can I say it?" However, no matter what the reason is that the county lord is restless, when the day comes, he can always see it. ”
Jiang Qizheng thought about it, so he put down the news and continued to prepare for the word meeting.
After she left, Xiao Tao's maid Lu Zhan quietly asked: "Didn't the young lady guess before, then the county lord of Ningyi repeatedly asked Ruan Qingyan in front of Princess Chunfu and Miss He, it doesn't seem like he is interested in Ruan Qingyan, but it seems that he wants to draw the strings?" Why don't you tell Princess Chunfu? ”
Xiao Tao said softly: "This is just my guess, and I may not be able to be sure." Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you guessed wrong? If you guess correctly, do you think that although Ruan Qingyan is a Jinshi who has not reached the crown, there are so many handsome men in this world, what kind of person can't Princess Chunfu and Miss He? Lord Ningyi's move, in case it makes them unhappy...... This county lord is the sweetheart of nineteen again, and then it will be another turmoil! ”
Lu Zhan said: "The young lady is kind. But he was a little disappreciative in his heart: "I'm afraid that the young lady will not be liked by the eighth prince because of her ordinary appearance." So I heard that because of his outstanding appearance, the county lord attracted the admiration of the nineteen princes and repeatedly maintained it...... I didn't feel happy in my heart, and it was not good to deliberately let Princess Chunfu and them misunderstand the county lord! ”
She thought so, and thought that she was already sixteen, and if there was no accident, she would be assigned out in two years...... Suddenly, he had an idea: "The eighth prince and the nineteenth prince are brothers-in-law, although because of the age difference, the two are not often together. But they are also very concerned about each other - if I reveal the young lady's thoughts to the eighth prince, how can the eighth prince not remind the nineteenth prince? ”
Of course, Cheng Quanjiang Yashuang and Qiu Yulan are not the point, the point is, "Then I also have a reason to talk to the eighth prince in private...... What kind of garment will you wear? The placket of the newly made goose yellow skirt is too high, and it is difficult to show the slender neck; The emerald green material is not the best ......."
The green lamp has both climbed and climbed. The idea of the bed, I tried to act on it by all means.
When Jiang Ya Dan came to ask Mrs. Tao for peace, she really dressed up neatly, found an opportunity to beg Jiang Ya Dan to a secluded place, and said Xiao Tao's "jealousy" with affection.
Jiang Yadan is accustomed to the wind and moon, where can he see this little bit of thought in front of him? After only listening to two or three sentences, I knew what she had in mind. It's just that he didn't care, seeing that the specially dressed green cup was delicate and lovely, he happily took her into his arms before he finished listening......
Afterwards, when he went to tell Xiao Tao to take the green cup into the house, looking at the tearful and patient appearance of the wife who had always been gentle and silent, Jiang Yadan found out in a rare conscience, and did not reprimand her for the green lamp, but said a few soft words - at the end, he asked Jiang Yashuang about it: "I heard that Nineteen has a sweetheart?" ”
Xiao Tao has been used to being stabbed by him over the years, although he is sad about the betrayal of his personal maid, but the wood is already in the boat, and he can't live for it? So he replied listlessly: "I say so, but Nineteen himself doesn't admit it." ”
"He was detained by his grandfather and grandmother as a nerd when he was a child, such a big person, no one in the room confiscated it, it's a shame for me!" Jiang Yadan disagreed, "Now that I have moved my spring heart, it's not strange if I don't admit it." ”
Then he asked in detail, "Is it the county lord of Ningyi?" Then why haven't you returned the Deng family's relatives yet? ”
Xiao Tao said: "This is what grandmother meant, because the eighteenth sister met with the county lord with her sister twice, and found that she often mentioned Ruan Qingyan, worried that she would have feelings for Ruan Qingyan. If this is the case, grandmother said that it is better to continue to marry Deng Yi with her, or Ruan Qingyan has a way to marry her...... Anyway, our family is not touched; If she has nothing to do with Ruan Qingyan, she is still filial piety and can't get out of the pavilion. It's better to take advantage of these two years to let Mr. Shao take a good look. ”
Jiang Yadan said with a smile: "I just said that Shao Yuemei taught her seventeenth and eighteenth sisters well, and before her grandmother said that she would stay in our family for a long time, and the next generation of girls also asked her to teach...... Why is this so good suddenly moving to the museum? It turned out to be for her to be a spy. ”
Although this idea was not from Xiao Tao's family, as soon as Jiang Yadan said it at this moment, Xiao Tao's face was also red, and he argued: "After all, the nineteenth brother is tempted for the first time, and the family is afraid that he will be misunderstood." ”
Jiang Yadan said: "Nineteen is not a girl, how can the law be delayed?" If you want me to say, take him to Fengyue Field for two years earlier, and no one can mistake him...... But then again. ”
He thought for a moment, "That little county lord has not yet grown up, but he is indeed beautiful, and ordinary beauties can't compare." The tone was a little regretful, "Since it's Nineteen's favorite, then I won't worry about it." ”
Xiao Tao's face froze, and he heard the meaning of his words - if it wasn't for Jiang Yashuang taking a fancy to Qiu Yulan, Jiang Yadan would have made up his mind.
She really didn't know how to answer, so she settled down and said, "Are you still in trouble?" ”
Jiang Yadan glanced at her, as if smiling: "What?" Want to drive me away? "The children of the Jiang family are all good-looking, although Jiang Yadan has been obsessed with women for many years, he is still in the prime of life, and his foundation is good, so he still has bright eyes and sword eyebrows in his sideburns, Xiao Tao's cheeks can't help but blush slightly when he looks at him like this.
After a pause, she said in a panic: "No, Chenguang is almost in charge of the stewards." ”
"Then you go and take care of things." Jiang Yadan originally wanted to continue to flirt a few words and decide whether to stay overnight depending on the situation, but when he heard Xiao Tao say this, he secretly scolded "boring", Quan Dang didn't see the loss on her face, and got up and said, "I'll go find Nineteen." ”
…… Jiang Yashuang was not surprised when she saw her brother coming: "The rest of the silver from the last time is really returned, I only have a few hundred taels of money now, and I will take it if the starling wants it." ”
Jiang Yadan scolded with a smile: "I want money when I come over?" He also felt a little weak when he said this - in fact, the monthly income of the adult children of the Jiang family is a lot, and he, a five-rank military general, also has a monthly salary, as well as a total income such as filial piety of his subordinates. But these can't stop him from being a loser, and he often can't spend enough to ask his brother for help.
And most of the children of the Jiang family are dissolute, and no one is much better than anyone else - except for Jiang Yashuang.
Since the last time he blocked someone to give Jiang Yashuang a large number of silver tickets, these few times he came over, he would always go to Jiang Yashuang to take a turn to see if he could take the sheep again.
At this moment, I felt that it was strange and faceless for my younger brother to say it, so I hurriedly diverted the topic, "I thought that it would be the triennial competition in a few days, you dignified man, what's the point of staying in the house all day to practice calligraphy and martial arts?" Why don't you come with me to see the fun? ”
Jiang Yashuang didn't think about it: "No, there is dirt and dirt in those places, grandfather said......"
"Stop, stop!" Jiang Yadan had a headache and said, "How many times have you said it!" Don't tell me what my grandfather and grandmother taught you, I don't want to hear it! ”
He knew that this brother was of good character, and it was not so easy to persuade him to see what Oiran was. However, this matter is not difficult for him, "In fact, it is like this: the eighteen sisters also want to go over to see the excitement, but you also know that their identities can't care about the news, so they pretend to open a begonia word meeting in Yunyi Building...... But what kind of event is the Oiran Race? At that time, there will be no crowds around Mirror Lake? Our sisters are there, can you rest assured? So let's go and ask for an adjoining private room and take care of it! ”
Jiang Yashuang didn't know the true purpose of the Begonia Word Meeting, but she hesitated when she heard the words: "Eighteen sisters, how can they join in this kind of fun?" ”
"It's just a bit of a fun, what's the matter?" Jiang Yadan said, "The other brothers have important positions and may not have time, so I can ask for leave - and you are idle at home." If you don't go, I won't be able to take care of all my sisters alone! ”
Jiang Yashuang always felt that he seemed to have some plans, but he also knew that Jiang Ya Dan might be able to calculate himself, but he would never harm his brother, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded in the end: "Okay!" ”
"This kid was taught stupid by his elders, and he was so withdrawn that he needed his sisters to find a way for him...... Even the female gentleman was sent out to be a spy! Where is this like our Jiang family?! Jiang Ya Dan Shi Ran stepped out of the younger brother's courtyard and snorted lightly, "Let's let Brother Wei teach you how to be a man!" ”
