…… This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet ended hastily with Empress Jiang's phoenix body suddenly becoming unwell.

Although I returned home nearly two hours earlier than usual, almost no one could sleep that night.

"Since the third uncle bowed his head to the fourth aunt, there is not a lot of sand in the forbidden army now." At the third watch, Jiang Yashuang and his wife in the heavy tent tossed and turned, talking in a low voice about this turmoil, "Especially since Yan Linxue was arranged as the commander of the guard for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it can be seen that the fourth aunt at least does not doubt him." But I don't want such a person to cause such a big thing...... Regardless of whether he is from the big house or not, the fourth aunt is afraid that she will not be able to sleep well in the future! ”

"The most pitiful thing is the queen! This time the matter is so big, even if the fourth aunt hurts her, it is impossible to expose it gently! Qiu Yulan sighed, "I just don't know how much benefit the concubine can get from it?" ”

"The fourth aunt knows in her heart that she will not let the concubine succeed." Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "Have you forgotten Lady Lin?" In the past, when the fourth aunt was still the queen, she had no time to take care of the palace, and she was managed by Lady Lin. Even if you want to use the power of the six palaces to punish the queen this time, you don't have to hand it over to the concubine - especially since Your Majesty is now a concubine, the so-called taking care of the palace doesn't need to worry much! ”

Qiu Yulan pondered for a while and said: "Before leaving the palace, the fourth sister-in-law said that although Hui Yan and Hui Li were unintentional about tonight's incident, they caused such a big incident, so I want to take them back to Kui County to atone for their uncle's tomb!" ”

"At the moment, this matter has not been dealt with, and the fourth sister-in-law will take her two nieces back to Kuixian County like this, and she may have to discuss when!" Jiang Yashuang rubbed her eyebrows, "Ming'er, you find an opportunity to persuade her, not only will their departure from Beijing not help, but will add fuel to the fire!" Besides, when they are gone, who will take care of the fourth brother and Jing Dusk? ”

And he said, "The Queen's side...... Explain to them, and if you have the chance, take them to the queen to ask for a crime in person! The queen has always been reasonable, and she should know that most of Hui Yan and Hui Li were also calculated this time. Otherwise, how could that tanuki pass by there and let the two of them enter the palace for the first time and the juniors of the city government bump into each other?! ”

"I'll tell the queen next time I enter the palace."

"Well, let's settle it...... Ming'er still has to be busy. ”

The embarrassing Chinese New Year's Eve passed, and it was the first day of the busy first month.

After the first day of the new year, it is the second day of the new year when the married girl returns to her parents' house - due to the early death of Jiang Tianjuan, the eldest daughter and third aunt wife of Qin Guogong; The fourth aunt and the queen mother are the queen mothers; Jiang Qisheng, the youngest daughter of the third room, married far away from northern Xinjiang; The girls in the eighth room are still young; Therefore, the only thing that needs to receive the daughter and son-in-law who is married on this day is only four rooms.

On this day, Chu Yitong also went back to Huainan Wangfu to reunite with his father and brother, and Qiu Lulan became the main force to entertain the sisters-in-law.

She called Jiang Huizhu to her early morning and advised: "When the old lady sends a message to ask you to take your sisters from Aunt Jiu's family around the mansion, you will lead them to Meilin...... But don't let them see that you're doing it on purpose, just walk around and get there, you know? ”

Jiang Huizhu nodded tamely, and said softly: "Nineteen aunts, please rest assured!" Aunt Gu told her niece. ”

"Good!" Qiu Yulan touched her head and asked Mu Hibiscus to come up with a pair of jade earrings, "It's the New Year, my aunt will add makeup to you." ”

After sending Jiang Huizhu down, there was still a little time before Jiang Qilai and Jiang Qizheng came to the door, and Qiu Yulan passed on Lu Helai again - for today's blind date, before the New Year, Jiang Yashuang called him to the guest room in the front yard under the pretext of being afraid that Lu He would waste his homework in the first month, so as not to deliberately call him from outside the house today.

Now it is convenient to call people over.

"Who picked this outfit for you? It's also appropriate. Qiu Yulan looked at Lu He's outfit with satisfaction: the young man was wearing a deep coat with a cloud pattern of pine flowers and a quadruple of Ruyi, a garcinia cambogia thunder pattern, a dark belt, a pine green land with a pattern of cranes, a beautiful jade hanging from his waist, soap boots on his feet, and a jade ring to tie his hair, and the whole person looked personable.

Lu He said respectfully: "It was chosen by my uncle." ”

"This is very well dressed, what color and texture is the coat?" Qiu Yulan thought to herself that Mu Zixuan looked at him as a master of five big and three thick, but he didn't want to, but he was also thick and fine: the pine color was light yellow-green, extremely delicate, but the pine green outside was almost dark green, such a match, not only did not lose the vitality of Lu He's age, but also added a little solemn and calm bearing, and really dressed this nephew as a talent, "Take it and show me!" ”

After a while, Lu He took the coat he took off when he entered the door, and it was a red fox fur, and the value was not light. After all, Lu He's father died in order to save Jiang Tianchi, and with Jiang Tianchi's personality, he would not treat him badly. Not to mention that after he entered Beijing, he was favored by Jiangya Frost, although he depended on his uncle for his life, he also had a lot of money.

But Qiu Yulan glanced at it and shook his head: "Kapok go and open the box by the west window of the inner room, and bring the nineteen white fox fur inside!" ”

"Although the red fox fur is eye-catching on a snowy day, the robe inside you is made of pine flowers and pine green, which is enough to attract attention in the plum forest, and it will be too much to wear a red fur coat!" Qiu Yulan saw that he didn't dare to take Jiang Yashuang's clothes, so he said, "It's not as elegant as the white fox Qiu...... Nineteen white fox fur is too much, this one is not often worn, you don't have to worry! ”

pointed out Lu He's demeanor when he was painting, and finally saw that he seemed to be very nervous, so he couldn't help but smile and comforted, "I'm just letting you take a picture with the girl over there today, so don't worry too much." The voice was low, "Besides, it's not just people who like you, you also like her, if you don't like it, even if you take a fancy to you, Nineteen won't agree to this matter." ”

Lu He sneered: "It is already a blessing for the little one to have today, but I am afraid that the qualifications will not be able to enter the eyes of Miss Yi's family, how can I dislike Miss Yi's qualifications?" ”

"Of course, it's best if it's fate." Qiu Yulan smiled, this Lu He has a very good attitude, but listening to Jiang Yashuang's meaning, he is not very enthusiastic about Jiang Qilai's daughter, but he has the mentality that he can achieve it and if he can't. So she felt that it was best to let Lu He understand this, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be picky at all, Miss Yi had no opinion, and the last two of them had an awkward life, but they would live up to Jiang Yashuang's hard work - Jiang Qilai's husband's surname is Yi.

"Nineteen thinks that you have only reached the age of saying kiss, and this matter is not very urgent, you must always find someone who is in love." Qiu Yulan told him gently, "After all, husband and wife have to live a lifetime, right?" ”

Lu He heard the meaning of the words, and really showed a relaxed look, and said respectfully: "Young Lady Xie instructs!" ”

At this time, Mu Lian came up and said, "Miss Jiu's family and Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu have arrived at the door!" ”

Because of Jiang Qilai's embarrassing life experience and the fact that she has not returned to her parents' house for many years, she is afraid that she will be embarrassed when she comes back this year, so after Qiu Yulan asked Mrs. Tao, she sent someone to talk to Jiang Qizheng and asked Jiang Qizheng to invite her to return to Ning together, so as not to make Jiang Qilai back to her parents' house and not be familiar with her here, resulting in a deserted scene.

Sure enough, after she greeted the second gate, although she greeted Jiang Qilai's mother and daughter very warmly, the two daughters and one son that Jiang Qilai brought over today were still good, but she herself just laughed and basically didn't answer - if it weren't for Jiang Qizheng playing a round on the side, it would be difficult to have a lively scene.

It was easy to get to Mrs. Tao, and the old lady opened her mouth herself, and Jiang Qilai began to talk more: "Grandmother Lao is worried, the Yi family has been either this or that over the years, and they really can't get out!" I haven't come back to see my grandmother and my elders for several years, and I really deserve to fight! ”

"I know I should fight, and I will come back to see my old bones more in the future!" Old Madam Tao said with a smile, "I don't have to let me look at you every year, but I can't see you!" ”

Jiang Qizheng proposed: "At the luncheon for a while, the ninth sister must drink three lamps to make amends to her grandmother!" ”

"Don't listen to the kite!" Before Jiang Qilai could answer, Old Madam Tao had already scolded with a smile, "Your ninth sister is the same as Nineteen, she is a person who can't drink, you ask her to drink three lamps, I'm afraid she will be placed immediately, how can I talk to her?" ”

"In this way, the ninth sister can't talk to her grandmother, and her granddaughter will be able to monopolize her grandmother!" Jiang Qizheng smiled and said his wishful thinking.

"Watch your eyes!" The old lady made a gesture and slapped her, "Net bullying your sister sex. Good boy! ”

After laughing like this for a while, the old lady looked at the great-grandchildren standing behind her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, and said, "Let's talk lively here, and the children are afraid that they will be bored to listen." Why don't you let them out and have fun! ”

Qiu Yulan understood, and said: "What grandmother said is that it just happens to make their cousins affectionate!" ”

"Heng'er is not in good health and has not come out, so Zhu'er will take the lead and entertain your aunt's brothers and sisters!" Old Madam Tao glanced at Jiang Huizhu, who immediately bowed: "Great-granddaughter obeys!" ”

After the juniors sent it out, the chatter here was distracted, and they were all speculating about what the process and outcome of today's blind date would be?

"I don't know which of the two girls is going to say it to Lu He?" Qiu Yulan thought silently.

Because she was afraid that things would hurt the woman's face, she didn't want to ask Jiang Qilai this question, so she could only guess by herself, "The girl in the pink tulip dress should be a sister, who looks dignified and reserved; The girls in the blue skirt are a little smaller, and their faces are more lively...... The two girls are quite pretty, and they have not lost their demeanor before, but I don't know if they have a fate with Lu He? ”

From Mrs. Tao to Jiang Qilai, they all tacitly agreed, and they talked all over the place, waiting for news from Meilin.

When it was finally time to use the luncheon, the old lady asked all the great-grandchildren who had been released before to find them back for the banquet - the granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law also naturally retired before the luncheon to change their clothes or something, and took this opportunity to inquire about the news one after another.

"After the two Yi cousins met Lu He in Merlin, they both talked to him." Jiang Huizhu's 1510 proclamation, "But it's all about Danqing and other topics, and my niece is dull and doesn't understand it very well." However, looking at the appearance of the two cousins Yi, they are very appreciative of Lu He's painting skills. ”

Qiu Yulan knew that Lu He was good at painting - otherwise she would not have arranged for Lu He to go to Meilin to copy plum blossoms before. Hearing this, he asked, "Do you know which of the two of them is more interested in Lu He?" ”

Jiang Huizhu hesitated: "My niece is stupid ......"

"It's okay, I'll ask you the same when I go back." Seeing this, Qiu Yulan smiled, waved her hand to tell her not to worry, and gave her a bracelet as a reward, which made her retire.

After the luncheon, she observed Jiang Qilai's mother and daughter, but she saw that they looked calm, and she couldn't see what she felt about Lu He-until she said goodbye on this day, Qiu Yulan didn't find a suitable opportunity to ask.

"Probably because he was afraid that they would make a statement, Lu He refused and couldn't get off the stage. So I have to wait for Lu He's side to give the letter before I can confide it! Old Madam Tao said, "You've been busy for most of the day, go back to the house and rest, and by the way, ask Lu He what he means, so that we can know what to do next?" ”

Qiu Yulan thanked the old lady for her thoughtfulness, returned to the courtyard, and summoned Lu He, but before he could speak, Jiang Yashuang, who went to accompany Qin Guogong in the morning, hurriedly returned: "The matter of Chinese New Year's Eve, there is news in the palace!" ”
