Chapter Forty-Three: It's Summer Time Again
After Jiang Yadan listened to the worries of his younger brother and younger brother-in-law, he said disapprovingly: "What do they have to do with Qiu Jinglan? I have already told the fourth and fifth brothers! ”
"Do the fourth and fifth brothers still want to accept them?" Autumn was surprised.
"What does it matter? Qinglou Oiran, who would expect them to be chaste martyrs? Jiang Yadan sneered, "The fourth brother and the fifth brother like their talents, so if they accept it, they will accept it." Speaking of which, although they were famous in the past, they were all noble, and there was no white body in the exchanges, but in the end, the times have passed, and now the color will decline, and if they don't follow the good ones, they will inevitably end up bleak, but they may not be hostile to the nineteen brothers and sisters. ”
Qiu Yulan said: "I'm not afraid that they will be hostile to me......
Before he finished speaking, he listened to Jiang Yadan say to himself: "Even if there is hostility, think about it, they are all old women in their twenties now, how many people on the Fengyue field don't like the new and hate the old?" The fourth and fifth brothers only came to Beijing, so they must be admitted to the door if they are stunned for a while. After a few years, their color faded, who remembers? What kind of storm can it set off! ”
"......" Qiu Yulan had nothing to say, after all, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan were not only not grandfathers in their room, but they had only met recently, and they had met politely so far, and they were really not close enough to prevent them from taking flowers and not making enemies with Penglaiyue.
So I had no choice but to go home.
On the way back, Jiang Yashuang comforted her and said: "Although the war in Western Xinjiang is not as smooth as in Northern Xinjiang, there are no major mistakes. In this way, Dafang has no reason and opportunity to meddle in the past, and naturally he can't help his brother! Not to mention the fourth brother and the fifth brother, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Hua Shen and Penglai Yue cross the door to provoke the relationship between them and their brother, what can they do? ”
As for whether Hua Shen and Peng Laiyue will be angry with Qiu Yulan, Jiang Yashuang felt that unless these two Oiran wanted to find death, and the courtyard where Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Ya lived in the evening was next to the big house, far away from the fourth room. It is impossible for the identities of those two people to run four rooms alone to visit the door. is in the same Guogong Mansion, but they basically can't touch it, and they can't take care of anything, how can they be in the autumn?
That's it.
A few days later, with the help of Jiang Yadan, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan redeemed Hua Shen and Penglai Yue, and placed them in the annex not far from the Guogong Mansion. These two have been upside down for nearly ten years, and their charm methods are clever, not only coaxing Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan to ignore the rules that the children of the Jiang family must have a good family if they take concubines, but also let them solemnly invite someone to see the day.
At the beginning of May, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan set up a wedding banquet in the courtyard where they lived, and invited Jiang Yadan and other children of the Jiang family, as well as a few friends with foreign surnames who had met these days, who were witnesses of other people's ceremonies, and officially accepted flowers to enter the door with Penglaiyue.
After these two people entered the door, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Ya indulged in the gentle countryside at night, and they didn't go out with Jiang Ya Dan anymore, and stayed in the room all day long without going out-He Shui Jin privately revealed to Qiu Yulan: "The fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law are now gritting their teeth with hatred, but how can those two masters be easy to mess with?" The two sisters-in-law just beat each other, but they still cared about the bodies of the fourth and fifth brothers, so they were severely sued by them, and they lost a lot of face! ”
"I'm afraid that the starling brother will be hated by the two sisters-in-law!" Qiu Yulan sighed, "I heard from Nineteen yesterday that the fourth brother and the fifth brother don't even care about Jing Du and Jing Man now, and their minds are all about pleasing those two!" ”
The corners of Heshuijin's mouth curled: "The fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law are planning to arrange for their henchmen to go out to buy people in the past two days!" ”
"Huh?"
"They think that they are already old and decrepit, that is, when they are young, they are not comparable to the Oiran who came out of the first-class fireworks field in Beijing. So, I want to find someone who can fight with them in the ring, and let out a bad breath! He Shui Jindao, "After all, their mother's family is very far from our Jiang family, and the second and fifth rooms have been pressed in Kui County to marry them, and now the fourth brother and the fifth brother are fascinated by the concubines, can they not worry?" ”
Qiu Yulan muttered: "I'm afraid this person is difficult to buy." ”
"Of course it's hard to buy, only beauty, but you may not be able to fight those two!" He Shuijin said, "I have beauty and means, and my ambition will not be small, how can I be willing to be driven by the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law?" It is said that these two sisters-in-law are doing this, and they are also driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and they have to worry about it in the future! ”
Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's a good thing that Hua Shen and Peng Laiyue are holding the fourth and fifth brothers in the house and not going out!" These two are people who take money and don't pay for it, and the previous expenses were reported to me, and I immediately got up and went to chase people's hearts! ”
Qiu Yulan asked, "Is it the last time I traveled with starling?" How much did it cost? ”
After talking to Shui Jin, Qiu Lulan suddenly had an urge to go with her to catch up with her: "How can there be so many?!" How much will we spend in the next year? ”
It's just ten days and half a month, and it's not a month to count it when it's full, and the expenses are actually close to half a year's expenditure! Who can accept this kind of relative normal person?
"I asked your fourteenth brother to go to the side of the starling brother and ask about the experience, saying that the fourth brother and the fifth brother were a little apprehensive on the way to the 'Drinking Spring Building', and asked them if they were all going out for the first time and had no knowledge, and the Oiran in Beijing must be used to seeing big scenes, will they not look down on them at all and make them faceless in front of people?" Speaking of this, he and Shui Jin's face was hideous, "What did you say about Brother Starling?" ”
"What did he say?" Qiu Yulan felt that Jiang Yadan must not have said anything good!
Sure enough, "He said that the world is a family, and the rich one is the uncle, and the one with a bigger hand, who cares if you are a regular customer?" ”
"Then the fourth brother and the fifth brother gave flowers and a deep bucket of pearls as soon as they met each other!"
"If you haven't finished drinking a bowl of tea, Yunjin, which is more expensive than gold, may be half a car!"
The flower stroked a song deeply and casually, and the fourth brother was excited and said that he wanted to give her a house, but the others had not yet come out, but the fifth brother started a ring with him, saying that he wanted to send a bigger house than the fourth brother...... The two of them just fought for wealth all the way, and promised countless benefits like flowing water! ”
He Shui Jin sneered, "The two of them have a huge handwriting, but they didn't pay for any of them, and let the turtle slaves over there write it down, and someone came to the house to ask me for an account!" If they hadn't brought people in the door, and now they are so pampered, I suspect that they would be colluding with us to blackmail the things of our Guogong Mansion! ”
“…… As soon as you say that, I also think it's a good thing that Hua Shen and Peng Laiyue are included in the door! Qiu Yulan sighed.
Although she doesn't expect the industry of the Guogong Mansion to live, she will of course not be happy when she sees people who are not qualified to share the industry squandering it in a big way!
At the end of May, it was the day when the Empress Dowager went to Dizi Mountain to escape the summer.
Qin Guogong's situation this year is a little better than last year, but Dr. Lin still doesn't recommend bumping, so the Jiang family once again stayed.
"Look at them, don't run too fast and fall under the steps!" The scorching summer sun scorched the earth, and the tall trees around the yard were stuck twice, and the boring cicadas that still missed the knowledge added to the restlessness.
Dressed in a loose full-breasted skirt, Qiu Yulan lay on a vine bed under a grape trellis, squinting at the occasional halo of light leaking from among the dense grape leaves.
There are four ice mouths around the rattan bed, and the smoke is quite cool when the wind blows.
Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang ran around under the corridor not far away. Tong's screaming and frolicking made the courtyard extremely lively, and also made Qiu Yulan worry about accidents.
"Where there are steps, go to two people to stand, and when you see Sun Gongzi approaching, you can protect a little, don't let Sun Gongzi bump into it! Otherwise, watch your skin! Mother Qu responded to the call.
Zhou's mother handed over a cup of sour plum soup, and said distressedly: "The young lady didn't sleep all night last night, and she didn't want to eat anything when she got up this morning, but now she has a little appetite, drink it!" ”
When she was pregnant with Jiang Jinglang in the autumn, she was like not being pregnant, she could eat, drink and sleep, and even the birth went surprisingly smoothly - I don't know if I used up all my good luck when I had the first child, and now this baby is not full of tosses:
I noticed that I was pregnant because of morning sickness, and after taking the fetal medicine prescribed by the doctor, I was safe for two or three months, and I thought it was the same as when I was pregnant with Jiang Jinglang! Even He Shui Jin said that he envied her for having a second child so soon, and she didn't suffer much, but as a result, she started throwing up again without warning two days ago!
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yashuang was scared enough, and asked someone to open the door of the mansion overnight to invite the doctor, tossed for a full night, and finally invited Dr. Lin to come over to see, only to be sure that Qiu Yulan was fine, but the pregnancy reaction was relatively big - from that night to now, Qiu Yulan ate and vomited, which completely hurt his appetite.
No, I haven't eaten for a day and a night, so it's easy to have a little appetite, and I just asked for a bowl of sour plum soup, and I'm not interested in anything else.
This will take a small half of Zhou's mother's hand, and then push it away: "I can't eat it!" ”
Mother Zhou and Mother Qu looked at each other and were a little worried, how can this pregnant woman not eat all the time?
Before the two mothers could come up with an idea, someone outside told me that the county lord Yishu was here.
"Please!" Hearing this, Qiu Yulan immediately half-sat up - the swing has always come to the door for nothing, and there must be something when he comes to the door, and I don't know what it will be this time?
After a while, Shi Shiran entered the courtyard on the swing, and he also took two willow hats in his hands, and when he saw the freshness of the leaves, he knew that he must have folded them after entering the Guogong Mansion. She nodded to Qiu Yulan and said hello, walked to the porch, called Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang to her side, and smiled and put one on each of them: "How is Aunt Swing's craftsmanship?" ”
"Watch out for the bugs on it!" Seeing this, Qiu Yulan hurriedly reminded that there is no shortage of caterpillars on the willow leaves this season.
"Knowing that they are delicate, they have all been picked out and washed in the lake." The swing handle was spread, and he walked down the corridor and sat down on the soft couch in front of her, "I can't hurt these two babies, don't worry!" ”
She said so, but Mother Qu still picked up the two willow hats and checked them carefully before putting them back on the two Jiang Jingkun brothers - the two of them saw the willow hats for the first time, they were very fresh, and they were very happy to thank Aunt Swing for the gift.
"It's going to fool the kids!" Qiu Yulan said with disdain, "This craft is also embarrassed to ask...... It's not as good as I made it up! ”
"It's not for you, your son and nephew like it, it means that I have good craftsmanship!" The swing triumphantly.
Qiu Yulan pursed the corners of her lips: "You are a rare guest, what are you here for this time?" ”
"It's too hot, it's not good to eat and drink, I told Sister Mei that I want to change to a chef with better skills, but she refused, I can only come to you to eat!" When Swing heard this, he sighed, "You don't know where we live now......
"Wait!" Qiu Yulan motioned for everyone to retreat, and asked in a suspicious whisper, "At the end of last year, didn't my brother send Ruan Yi back quietly and hand over the 'Tianya' to you?" Why is Mei Xue still in Jingli? And you didn't go to escape the heat? ”
The corners of Swing's mouth twitched: "Your brother will give us an empty shell!" You say we'll be able to call the shots right away? Now Sister Mei can't wait to break it in half for a penny, except for my brother, her food and clothing are decreasing again and again, can I not find you to draw a penny! ”
"That's it?" Qiu Yulan laughed, "Nothing else? ”
"Of course not!" Swing swore an oath, "If you don't believe me, I won't come every day if I send someone to bring me food." ”
"Am I that stingy?" Qiu Yulan turned around and called Zhou's mother over, "Go ahead and clean up the room for Qian'er to live in!" ”
…… Jiang Yashuang came back in the evening, knew about it, and said with a smile: "It won't be that you provoked someone or something to say, so you ran to our yard to hide, right?" Your cousin really doesn't look like someone who would come to stay here just for food and drink. ”
"I think so too." Qiu Yulan smiled proudly, "After I left her to stay, I quietly sent someone to check - I tell you, she is also old, and she has been unable to look down on her in the past two years, maybe it has something to do with this!" ”
