Chapter 34: Ginger is old and spicy
Back at Xihe Palace, Xia Ran handed over a post: "It was voted by a family who also has the surname Qiu." ”
"I see." Qiu Yulan took a look, except for some customary words, that is, if he wanted to visit him three days later, he said to Xia Ran, "Is the person who sent the post still there?" I'll be here in three days. ”
Xia Ran answered, and went out to tell the little maid to pass the word.
Chun Ran asked: "The Qiu Bo in these two female guests, did we meet at the gate of the Gongyuan last time?" ”
"That's it." Qiu Yulan remembered that when she had entrusted "Tianya" to stop the two worshippers sent by Mrs. Gu from coming, according to what Xia Ran had seen, the three sisters and brothers of the Qiu family happened to pass by, and said, "This swing should be their little sister." He commanded, "Go to the boudoir and add another set of seats, and prepare a copy of the book, pen and ink." ”
Although Ruan Qingyan said that he didn't need to take special care of this swing, but now that the boudoir is funded by the palace, Qiu Yulan doesn't mind being generous. What's more, this also shows that he attaches great importance to this swing, which not only helps Ruan Qingyan to envelop Qiu Nie, but also lifts the swing in the boudoir, so as not to be underestimated because this little girl comes in because of her weak background - for her prospective teammates, Qiu Tuolan is still very concerned and considerate.
It's just that after the tables and chairs were added, Shao Yuemei came over.
Qiu Yulan personally went out to welcome her into the house, and the master and apprentice greeted her for a while, and Shao Yuemei asked directly: "Someone just sent furniture to the boudoir school, is it to add people?" ”
"I just heard the shopkeeper say in the 'Renqing Hall' that a friend of my cousin has a younger sister who wants to be taught by a famous teacher, so I thought that there is no more famous female teacher in Beijing than Mr. Qiu Yulan said, "I just came back and told the maid that I was going to inform Mr. after I freshened up later." ”
It's strange that she asked Shao Yuemei to come forward and refuse to accept other disciples before, but Shao Yuemei refused, although she didn't do anything to her because of Shao Yuemei's connections, she was not very happy in her heart.
This time, she deliberately decided the matter without consulting Shao Yuemei. is to tell Shao Yuemei that as a hired female teacher, if you don't listen to the proprietor, the proprietor doesn't need to give you too much face!
Shao Yuemei smiled gently: "It's nothing, but I don't know how old this new son-in-law is?" What books have you read in the past? I'd better prepare in advance. ”
"She's twelve years old, and the other shopkeepers don't know, so when she comes, will you bother Mr." Qiu Yulan thought to herself, I only knew the name of this new classmate after reading the post, how do you know so much?
Shao Yuemei saw that she couldn't hear about the new disciple, so she changed to other topics, the master and apprentice chatted for a while, had dinner together, and Shao Yuemei said goodbye - not long after she returned to her place of residence, the maid Huanhua quietly left the palace and entered the courtyard next door.
"Mr. Shao called you back?" Huanhua walked towards the house where Jiang Qizheng lived, but happened to bump into Jiang Qisheng on the way, and when she saw this, she stopped her and asked, "Is it about the cheap surnamed Qiu again. Person? ”
Huanhua knew that she was rude, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's the girl over there who wants a new recruit, and it was recommended by the county lord of Ningyi." ”
"This person is discredited, and what are you asking her for?" Jiang Qisheng crossed his waist and said with a gloomy face, "Can't you marry someone at nineteen?" Do you have to be her? ”
Huanhua knew that Jiang Qizheng was also disappointed in Lord Ningyi, but Shao Yuemei debuted as a female teacher at the age of sixteen, and she has survived to today's status, and she has her own way of doing things.
Before, she went to Xihe Wangfu to be a female teacher under the order of the Jiang family, but now although Jiang Qizheng has expressed her position, her private words cannot be accurate. There was no clear order to rule out the county lord of Ning Yi to become the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and she still did what she had to do.
This Huanhua didn't dare to follow Jiang Qisheng's words, nor did she dare to refute, but smiled and said, "The maid doesn't know either!" It's to send a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Jiang Qisheng rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
It's just that she and Huanhua went to Jiang Qizheng's yard, but found that Jiang Qizheng was about to go out. When he saw Huanhua, he stopped and asked, and after knowing what had happened, he said noncommittally: "I know, you can go back." ”
Huanhua was trained by Shao Yuemei, never mouthed much, and immediately retired when she heard the words.
Jiang Qisheng didn't leave, pulled Jiang Qizheng and said, "Eighteen sister, do you really want to watch Nineteen marry the one next door?" The name of the one now! Why are our people angry with this? ”
Jiang Qizheng is also very opposed to Qiu Yulan entering the door now, but she is annoyed that Jiang Qisheng kicked Jiang Yashuang's feet in Yunyi Tower, so she said lukewarmly: "Seventeenth sister, what you said is over, our grandfathers and grandmothers are here, and the marriage of the nineteenth has its own elders in charge, and the third uncle and the third aunt didn't say anything, why do you bother with this?!" ”
"You ......" Jiang Qisheng was surprised that this gentle-tempered cousin suddenly stabbed herself with words, and couldn't help but be furious, hatefully throwing off her sleeves, "Okay!" Good! Your brother and sister are turning their arms outward one by one, I can see it! It's all kind things that are donkey's liver and lungs! ”
Jiang Qizheng usually has a good temper, but in the end she is also spoiled, she is not afraid of her cousin when she really pinched it, and said coldly at the moment: "No matter how much your arms turn outward, you are not as strong as Sister Seventeen!" For the sake of a Tao cousin, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell nineteen! I don't know, I think Cousin Tao is your reborn parent! Then help her! How respectful is Nineteen to you? Cousin Tao cried a few times, you actually started nineteen without asking! You know, even his grandfather and grandmother didn't even touch half a finger of him! ”
Jiang Qisheng knew why Jiang Qizheng had a bad attitude towards herself, but she refused to admit her mistake: "I just can't see that he has been protecting the surnamed Qiu!" Did I hurt him again? He is a martial artist, and he can't even stand me, a weak woman, for a few moments, what do you learn! ”
If it weren't for the good boudoir she had cultivated since childhood, Jiang Qizheng would have wanted to slap her: "I think Nineteen is right, there is nothing to talk about with people like you - it is better to go to the third aunt and ask for justice tomorrow!" After speaking, he ignored her, flicked his sleeves, and went towards the courtyard of Old Madam Tao.
Leaving Jiang Qisheng jumping in anger: "You have the ability not to sue!" Will you sue you for shame?! ”
Jiang Qizheng arrived at Mrs. Tao's yard, because she came over after inquiring about Jiang Yashuang going back to learn calligraphy, and now there are no other juniors in front of Mrs. Tao, seeing her coming, she asked with a smile: "It's so late, why did you come over?" ”
"I miss you, come and accompany you." Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang are twins, both sisters and brothers were raised by Mrs. Tao and Xiao Tao, and these two are naturally closer to the other children of the Jiang family.
Old Madam Tao squinted her eyes pleasantly, enjoying the service of her juniors, but said with a smile: "This is not true, you must have something to do." ”
Jiang Qizheng said angrily: "Grandmother can't pretend to be less shrewd, so that her granddaughter can be a good girl?" ”
"I want to, but your face is full of thoughts, and it's hard for me to see it!" Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "Okay, don't you say that I know about it, or is it for the sake of the Qiu family's child?" ”
"I can't hide anything from my grandmother." Jiang Qizheng said sweetly, "In front of my grandmother, my granddaughter won't beat around the bush anymore - this person is really not suitable for the nineteenth brother!" ”
Old Madam Tao said with a smile: "You have already said this once before, and I also told you that I didn't think that kid did anything wrong - why did you think of a new reason?" ”
"No matter what, ruthless people will inevitably be spicy, especially the seventeenth sister and Cousin Tao have already offended her, even the starling brother." Jiang Qizheng had only come back from Xihe Wangfu before, so he came over to Mrs. Tao in a hurry to tell him, hoping to terminate the marriage immediately, so as to call Shao Yuemei back as soon as possible, but Mrs. Tao did not approve.
She was sent back to her room, racking her brains and thinking about it for a long time, before finally thinking of a set of words again, "In this way, once she passes the door, our family is afraid that there will be no peace." He also said, "Even if our family can't afford her this time, we can compensate her from other places, and there is no need to compensate her for nineteen, right?" ”
Mrs. Tao smiled: "There is one thing you probably don't know, in fact, that night, nineteen turned over. The wall went over and told her about the marriage. ”
Jiang Qizheng was taken aback: "What? ”
"But she didn't." Old Madam Tao smiled lightly and said, "If this girl is really such a ruthless and unscrupulous person, why do you think she refuses to marry Nineteen?" To put it mildly, it is that those golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family now, in addition to Yongfu, there are definitely many people who want to marry nineteen! ”
Just look at the princes of Yan and Zhou, who dare not offend the children of the Jiang family, you know how attractive Jiang Yashuang's position is!
Of course, Jiang Qizheng also knew this truth, and at this moment, she couldn't help but stop pinching Mrs. Tao's shoulder, and wondered: "She actually refused?!" What the hell did she think? ”
Old Madam Tao said: "Let's not say that she thinks so, just say that her refusal is enough to prove that she is not the kind of person you think!" For another person, would you like to miss this great opportunity? You must know that nineteen is the most well-behaved and considerate of our male heirs, and there are few who can compare to those who boast of being well-educated! ”
Jiang Qizheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, granddaughter, I saw the wrong person - but it's nothing, you have your palm eyes horizontally and vertically, isn't it?" ”
"Since you want me to give you a palm, then I'll mention you one more." Old Madam Tao smiled and said, "You said that at that time, you saw that Mrs. Gu had a wrong attitude towards that child, and deliberately made a statement to let them go out and make it clear, right?" ”
Jiang Qizheng said: "Yes......" Speaking of this, she also woke up a little, "Could it be that Mrs. Gu had expected that I would send someone to follow?" ”
Old Madam Tao snorted: "Think about it again: Mrs. Gu really asked that child, why did she show her expression in front of outsiders?" If you don't say that she will lose her face in vain, and let the child be talked about for disrespecting her elders, just say that her attitude will be spread out so that the Gu family will know......"
Jiang Qizheng's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said hatefully: "What a Mrs. Gu! After listening to what the maid said, I was quite sympathetic to her and Deng Yi's experience, but I didn't want to, she ...... She actually ...... "I only cared about sympathy when I didn't doubt it, but now when I doubt it, I feel, "I'm afraid what happened to Deng Yi is not necessarily true!" Shameless this man! The elders of the hall actually knelt down and begged to discredit the county lord of Ningyi......"
Old Madam Tao smiled lightly and said: "The concubine in the family, can ask Concubine Guangyang to raise her as her own daughter before her death, how can she not have any means?" He comforted Jiang Qizheng again, "Don't be too angry, anyway, this kind of method, the Gu family dares to use it on the kid next door, but he never dares to use it against you - you, just watch the fun!" ”
…… After Jiang Qizheng left, the henchman who was waiting for the old lady asked curiously: "Is Mrs. Gu really counting Her Royal Highness the princess behind her and deliberately smearing the county lord of Ningyi?" ”
Mrs. Tao just laughed, and Mother Hu laughed and scolded: "You care so much? Anyway, the Gu family doesn't have a good thing, is it important to do such a small thing? ”
