Two years ago, Princess Yang arranged for Sheng Shushui to come to Xihe Wangfu to go to the boudoir school, the purpose was originally to let Sheng Shushui deal with Qiu Shulan - but before Sheng Shushui could make any moves, the Yang family had an accident first, and Qiu Mengmin and his wife were also pinched, and in that case, it was no longer meaningful to take a small boudoir to toss.

And since Princess Yang didn't expect Sheng to pass away, she didn't care about this turnaround relative who was not very innocent.

This is not all because Princess Yang dislikes the poor and loves the rich, the main Yang Yiroom and Yang Yifu sisters have already affected Princess Yang's mother and daughter, and the origin of this passing water is so difficult to export, Princess Yang naturally wants to stay away from her to show her innocence.

However, Sheng Shushui was determined to take classes under Shao Yuemei for two years - Qiu Yulan remembered clearly that Princess Yang had never looked for her in the past two years...... Now I suddenly invited her over to eat, saying that there was no reason, who would believe it?

"It is said that this Sheng Shui was brought by Princess Yang before, if you want to call her to go over to eat, a private greeting is enough, why bother to cross the road and call me to bump into it?" Qiu Yulan thought in his heart, "Did you say it specifically to me?" But what does that have to do with me? ”

What's even more confusing is still behind - after a while, Xiuyan came out of the boudoir and saw that Qiu Yulan was still under the pear blossom tree, so she came over to retire.

Qiu Yulan glanced at her face that couldn't hide her disappointment: "Miss Sheng will come over later?" ”

"No, Miss Sheng said that she would also accompany Mrs. Lu to Puyang Palace's palace to mourn, and she would go back after class in a while." Xiuyan didn't want to answer, but she didn't dare not answer.

"Oh, what about shallow?" Qiu Yulan asked again.

Xiuyan was even more embarrassed: "Miss Wang asked if you were going to go, and when I heard that you weren't going, she said that you would use it here." ”

"She's not out of sight." Qiu Yulan smiled and suddenly asked, "Why did Aunt invite Miss Sheng over for dinner?" ”

Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, "The princess hasn't seen Miss Sheng for a few days......"

"You really don't say it?" Qiu Yulan smiled, "Believe it or not, I'll go and tell my aunt in a while, think you will serve people and bring you over?" ”

"Don't dare!" Xiuyan was taken aback, as Qiu Lulan's current Jiang family's prospective daughter-in-law, to tell Princess Yang this, Princess Yang must not immediately suspect that she wants to climb the high branches? That's not all, as a confidant, Xiuyan's knowledge of Princess Yang's details is not ordinary...... She is leaving Princess Yang, whether it is voluntary or not, Princess Yang can rest assured if she doesn't "send" her? !

So he hurriedly explained, "When she was in Dizi Mountain, the princess heard that the Duchess of Qin seemed to have spoken to the old lady of the Lu family, and then ...... The old lady of the Lu family deliberately found a reason and called Miss Sheng over to ask the Duchess of Qin Guo to say goodbye. It is said that the old lady of the Lu family was both happy and worried afterwards, and specially pulled Miss Sheng to talk for a long time. ”

"Is this to hire Sheng Shui?" As soon as Qiu Yulan heard it, she understood Princess Yang's purpose, and was slightly surprised, "Who is it for?" ”

She quickly recalled in her heart: There are only four men in the Jiang family who are not married now, according to the eldest and youngest: Jiang Yalan, the thirteenth son of the Marquis of Jibei; The fourteenth son of the Duke of Qin, Jiang Ya Heng, the sixteenth son Jiang Ya Zhu, and the nineteenth son Jiang Yashuang.

Among them, Jiang Ya Heng has already set his cousin and Shui Jin, and Jiang Ya Shuang hired Qiu Tuolan not long ago - the ones who didn't land were Jiang Ya Lan and Jiang Ya Zhu.

Because Jibei Hou's old wife Ou Shi was originally from the north, she has been following him in northern Xinjiang. Their only son, the sixth master, Jiang Tianqi, served in Beijing, so he lived with his second uncle Qin Guogong, and the grandchildren were naturally under the knees of Qin Guogong and his wife...... Therefore, if Mrs. Tao asked the old lady of the Lu family to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family in order to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, she might have said it for Jiang Yazhu of her own branch; It may also be said by Daiji Beihou and his wife for Jiang Yalan.

The problem is that although Sheng Shushui himself can be regarded as both talented and beautiful, his life experience is a hard injury.

With the current power of the Jiang family, there is no need to ask the daughter-in-law to come from a famous family, but the daughter-in-law is private. Bear. Woman......

No matter how you think about it, it feels unlikely-because Mrs. Tao married Qin Guogong, she also has a lot of say in her declining mother's family, maybe it is for her mother's nephews and grandchildren?

As a result, Xiuyan looked at the boudoir and whispered: "It seems to be Jiang Yazhu, the sixteenth son of the Jiang family!" ”

"Him?" Qiu Yulan was stunned, this Jiang Ya Zhu is the fourth room of the Jiang family, and he is Jiang Yashuang's cousin - the one whose biological mother was driven away twice by Mrs. Zhuang, and even he himself entered the Jiang family After many twists and turns, the Marquis of Jibei came out to speak before being sent back to Beijing...... But even if this is the case, how can they all be children of the Jiang family, it is no problem to find a talented and good-looking lady!

"Could it be that Jiang Yazhu himself has taken a fancy to Sheng Shushui?" Not only did Qiu Yulan think so, but even Xiuyan said: "I heard that the sixteenth prince of the Jiang family saw Miss Sheng when he was in Dizi Mountain, and soon after that, the Duchess of Qin Guo went to find the old lady of the Lu family!" ”

"I see." Qiu Yulan's doubts were lifted, so he didn't care much about this matter, and waved his hand, "You go." ”

After sending away the embroidery, the house was almost cleaned up.

Just after school, Wang Qingqian really ran over to rub the rice out of sight, waiting for the effort to get the rice, chattering about some things she thought was interesting - Qiu Yulan listened lazily, interjecting a few words from time to time, Wang Qingqian couldn't see that she was not very interested, but said very energetically, and finally said: "Sister Lan, isn't her brother on the swing still well?" I saw her on the street two days ago and greeted her, but she ignored me and left. Is it that her brother is not well, and she is not in a good mood? ”

"Uh......" Qiu Yulan thought that this question was a little difficult to answer, after all, the true identity of Swing is not easy to say, and this cousin played "innocent and cute" very expressively before, and now she is not a good person...... Wang light and shallow this straightness. Son, don't give her a few facts, according to her impression of the swing, I really don't believe it.

Maybe you will think that Qiu Yulan doesn't like swings and takes the initiative to drive people away!

She thought for a moment before she said, "I heard that it has been fine for a long time, and now she ignores you, probably because she thinks that her brother's future is immeasurable but suddenly ruined, but she is still doing well when she sees you...... Not feeling happy? Otherwise, even if her brother is not well, he should not do this to you. ”

Wang Qingqian sighed: "Alas, I can't complain that she is not happy in her heart, her brother is really a pity - the person who did it is really vicious and ......."

"By the way, where did you meet her?" Qiu Yulan hurriedly interrupted her to continue scolding, but it was Qiu Jinglan who did it!

Wang Qingqian did not doubt it, and said truthfully: "It's on the street over there." "She happened to come out of the market, as if she was going to buy something." ”

"In the city?" Qiu Yulan suddenly thought of those rumors that clearly referred to the second queen, the real Qi, and the second king of Yan, "Could it be that they did it?" "After all," what's the icing on the cake? Empress Dowager Gu has already chosen King Yan, and the three of them have lost the 'end of the world' and have no hope of a career, so they can only find another way to get ahead. Although there are many princes, the closest to the queen mother must be King Yan and King Zhou...... Since King Yan is on the list, it seems that he wants to support King Zhou. It's just that they can't directly contact King Zhou, there must be people behind the scenes! ”

Wang Qingqian felt very strange when she suddenly stopped talking: "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, I'm thinking about what I'm going to say when I go to Puyang Palace." Qiu Yulan said casually, "Old Concubine Qin is such a good person......"

How good the old lady Qin was during her lifetime, although Qiu Lulan didn't know, but looking at the excitement of her posthumous affairs, she had to sigh at the popularity of this old lady.

Puyang Palace, like Xihe Palace, is a hereditary prince who came down from the founding of the country.

But unlike the Xihe Palace, the Puyang Mansion has long since declined, and the current Puyang Wang's father and grandfather are both mixed and waiting for death. The brothers Xiao Su and Xiao Mu have a reputation for being studious, but the problem is that a frail and sick person needs to recuperate for half a month to go to the banquet; The other is still young -

In this case, the old lady Qin passed away, not only the entire nobles in Beijing were shocked, but most of the people who came over were the heads of various families, which shows how much face the old lady has to give. You must know that even if the decline is not as powerful as the Xihe Palace, which is not as powerful as the Puyang Palace, there will be a funeral, and there will definitely be no such pomp.

However, this will be more lively and beautiful, the old lady Qin has gone, and the so-called people go to tea and cool. In the future, if the Xiao family brothers can't revive their family reputation, sooner or later they will be forgotten.

It's not just Qiu Yulan who thinks so, but many whispers among the people who came to mourn think so: "The old lady is really pitiful, when she was young, her husband and son were not angry, and it was easy to look forward to two grandchildren who were willing to learn and improve, but the only grandson was not in good health, and the grandson was in good health and didn't like the ......."

"That Xiao Ergongzi's martial arts are said to be good."

"It's really good, and you can still let Old Concubine Qin fall onto the official road? And what's the use of being good? In the Zhenbei Army, it is the world of the Jiang family and the Ou family, and in the Zhenxi Army, although Shi Han is only a son, it is impossible for him to come out of the Puyang Palace......"

"It's the same, alas, I don't know what will happen to the Puyang Mansion in the future?"

Because there were many hangers, Qiu Yulan really didn't have any feelings and friendships with Puyang Palace, so he followed Princess Yang in to condolence Concubine Chu for a few words, and then found an excuse to go outside.

Except for a few people from the Puyang Palace, there is no Xiao family in this place, and some long-tongued women speak very bluntly - Princess Yang is still persuading Concubine Chu inside, and she will not be able to leave for a while, so Qiu Yulan and others openly listened to the wall.

It's just that when the two women were talking energetically, suddenly a cough came from not far away, and when they looked up, they immediately said: "The prince, the second son!" ”

Qiu Yulan turned around and saw Xiao Mu walking towards him with a young man who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young man's eyes were like paint, his face was delicate, and his eyebrows were full of bookishness, but his face was as pale as paper, and even his lips were not bloody, and he was obviously in poor health. A gust of summer wind blew, and the white linen filial piety clothes fluttered with the wind, and his whole person seemed to be going to ride the wind, so that the people watching had no reason to worry for a while.

"Lord Ningyi!" When the two brothers arrived in front of Qiu Yulan, they first waved around them and said a few words about the scene, and then they solemnly saluted her together - Qiu Yulan naturally avoided it and said that he couldn't stand it.

"When I went down the mountain before, the county lord gave way to the kindness of the road, and later on the official road, the county lord and the old lady Qi were treated by the grandmother of the family......" Xiao Su, the king of Puyang, sincerely thanked him, and it was no wonder that Qiu Yulan heard that he was the image of a medicine jar before, so he gave a speech of thanks, and he intermittently several times in the middle, and Xiao Mu had to give him a round field and let him breathe before he could continue.

Qiu Yulan was worried, and interrupted him when he couldn't finish listening: "These are all gestures, the prince and the second prince are so polite, I don't dare to stay!" ”

"Since the county lord said so, Xiao Wang didn't dare to say more." Seeing this, Xiao Su's pale face showed a haggard and tired smile, and said, "The mansion received a portion of the formed Shouwu a few days ago, which was originally prepared for grandmother, but now grandmother ......" choked up, "This thing can nourish essence and blood, be sure to bring it with cousin Ling!" ”

He wanted to give something else, Qiu Yulan definitely refused, but He Shou Wu was formed...... This is really what Qiu Jinglan and Xue Rongying need at the moment.

So after a few polite words, I agreed.

But the Xiao Su brothers came empty-handed—she agreed, and the two brothers seemed to have just discovered this, Xiao Su said apologetically: "I forgot to take it in a hurry, please ask the county lord to send a noble servant to accompany my brother?" ”

Qiu Yulan thought that the other party was a prince anyway, and he shouldn't be reluctant to bring it, so he let Su He go - after a while, he took back a red brocade box, and said in his ear when everyone was not paying attention: "Xiao Ergongzi said that someone from the Xiao family saw the prince of Zhang Guo and the six county lords together in Dizi Mountain before, and you seemed to be mentioned in the middle......"
