On this day, Qiu Yulan stayed in the palace until the evening and successfully retired, but when she went back, she was not in a very good mood - the queen was the same as Ou Bicheng, and after the matter of inviting her into the palace was finished, the topic turned to the cold war between her and Jiang Yashuang.

Although it is said that Qiu Yulan has a good relationship with the queen, but now there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the queen is a good intention, so it is very perfunctory.

It was easy to get out of the palace, and looking at the sunset in the sky, she couldn't help but sigh!

On the way back to China's mansion, Qiu Yulan remembered that Jiang Jingkun had said two days ago that a kind of pastry that his subordinates bought for him was delicious, and it seemed that there was no more at home. He instructed the coachman: "Go to the city and bring some food for An'er!" ”

Jiang Jingkun is the great-grandson of the Jiang family, who has been pampered since he was a child and is naturally stubborn. The dim sum shop he loves to eat, just looking at the façade outside, is not something that ordinary people can afford, so even if there are many people in the market now, there are very few people in and out of this shop.

Qiu Yulan let the carriage stop in front of the shop, and told the people who followed the car to go in to buy pastries, and he was leaning on the carriage to close his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard Mulian's "ah", and opened his eyes in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

I saw Mu Lian's cheeks slightly red when she was lying by the car window and quietly looking out, and said, "The son who just came out of the shop...... The bearing and bearing are really good, and the maid is a little forgetful for a while, disturbing the young lady, and hoping that the young lady will forgive! ”

Qiu Yulan smiled when she heard this: "Everyone has a love for beauty, and it's nothing." ”

Mulan, who was in the same car, saw that she didn't blame her, and she was bolder, so she asked Mulian curiously: "Let's follow the young lady in and out, what kind of talent has seen less?" Someone still makes you scream? ”

What she was embarrassed to say was that her male host, Jiang Yashuang, was handsome and outstanding, and after seeing him, the so-called beautiful man in the world was just like that?

I saw Mu Lian pointing ahead, and said with some embarrassment: "When I came out, I thought it was an immortal...... Hey? He's in trouble! ”

Qiu Yulan was waiting for the next person to come out after buying things, and there was nothing to do, so she looked in the direction she pointed - the curtain of their car looked at the outside from the inside, but it was not possible to look inside from the outside, so she was not afraid of being seen - but she saw that the figure who was being surrounded by people was tall and thin, showing a little familiarity, and she was slightly surprised: "Who is this?" ”

She groaned, the conflict over there had already begun, Qiu Yulan felt that the familiar figure was alone, but there were seven or eight people who beat him, and that person didn't hold a few breaths and began to suffer-Mu Lian was anxious, turned to Qiu Yulan and begged: "Young lady, those people are really rude!" The maid saw with her own eyes that this young man came out of this shop with snacks, and she didn't provoke them at all—and begged the young lady to show mercy and save the young man, okay? ”

Qiu Yulan glanced at her and thought, "You didn't see the provocation, it doesn't mean that you didn't provoke, maybe there was a grudge in the past, and he was waiting for him in ambush?" But when the man who was beaten looked familiar, as if he had seen it before; Second, the big girl always wanted to give a little decency, so she knocked on the wall of the car.

The coachman understood, stood up and shouted, and the knights around the carriage immediately rushed up - the Jiang family has been famous for their dominance over the years, and these guards are specially allocated by Jiang Yashuang for his wife to go out, and they are all masters who have seen blood on the battlefield.

After the horse went up, he didn't say a word, and he first gave a whip, and all the people who were beating him were knocked to the ground, and when he saw that there was a reckless person who wanted to fight back, he rushed over directly to the horse to half scare and half a lesson--gave enough color and suffering, and then jumped off the horse and went to help the son who had suffered to get up and ask.

Seeing them talking there through the curtain, the boy bowed his hand in the direction of the carriage, and turned and left!

This situation made Mu Lian, who had interceded with him before, also stunned: "Why didn't he come to thank the young lady?" "Even if there is a difference between men and women, but now through the curtain, there are so many people watching in the blue sky and daytime, what are you afraid of?

Why don't you come to the car and say thank you in person?

"This son's appearance is good-looking, and he is not worse than the nineteenth son, if he has a little talent, let the young lady recommend it to the nineteenth son, maybe he can also have some future!" Although Mu Lian is young, after all, she is the eldest girl of Qiu Lulan, and she always has a little thought, "If he does things with the nineteenth prince, maybe I can ask the young lady to ...... in the future."

As a result, the glimmer of hope she had was actually out of control before the scene started - watching the person walk without stopping, looking like she was afraid of being relied on by them, Mulian didn't know what to say?

It was Qiu Lulan, who stared at the man's back for a while, and suddenly ordered outside the car: "Go and catch up with him, tell him, I will wait for him under the willow tree two streets in front, and ask him if he is going?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in and out of the car was shocked, but they didn't dare to ask her why she asked a foreign man - at this time, the next person who went into the shop to buy snacks came out, and Qiu Yulan ordered the carriage to set off: "Go to the willow tree and wait for a while!" ”

When they arrived under the willow tree, they saw no one empty, and they didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel embarrassed: it was not good for their young lady to ask a foreign man to meet, but they took the initiative to make an appointment, but they hadn't come yet, this ...... It seems that there is still a shame......

When a cadre was in a mess, he saw a figure turn out of the alley not far away, who had changed into a brown robe, and the texture was not very good.

However, that man is indeed as Mulian said, bright and beautiful, with only one face, there are few women in the world who can not be jealous. He didn't look very well, and several bruises on his face couldn't hide the sickly paleness. I don't know if it was the injury I was injured when I was beaten by the group before, but I was walking a little staggering at the moment, a short distance, it seemed that I had lifted a thousand pounds, and I walked for a long time - the guards on the side of the car urged impatiently, but I was stopped by Qiu Yulan: "It's okay, anyway, we're not in a hurry to go back!" ”

The people under the "......" were speechless, thinking about how to explain to the nineteenth prince when they went back today?

At this time, the man finally reached the distance where he could talk next to the car, but he neither saluted nor greeted, but asked lightly with an attitude that both the guards and the maid felt arrogant: "What are you looking for me?" It's not going to be for me to see how you're doing, is it? ”

It sounds really hard for people not to guess about emotional entanglements, and this is also true - the faces of the guards have changed, and Mulian and Mulan in the car also opened their mouths in surprise!

But Qiu Yulan sighed, and said gently: "Didn't you follow Yishu and them?" How could you suffer such a loss? ”

"Miss Mei doesn't believe me very much, and I'm impatient to keep sending people under the fence, so I'm alone now."

"Where do you live?"

"No need, it's just an accident today." The man's expression was indifferent, and there was no emotion in his eyes, and he said lightly, "Today is my father's death, and I am going back to set up sacrifices!" ”

"......" Qiu Yulan didn't say anything, and waited until he turned around and left, and walked back to the alley, before he ordered, "Go and protect the two people." ”

The head of the guard looked embarrassed: "Young lady, that man?" ”

"You're not new to Beijing, and you still pretend you don't know him?" Qiu Yulan was in a bad mood when she left the palace, but after this incident, her mood became more and more complicated, and she said impatiently, "He is Deng Yi - but say a few words through the curtain of the car, and let you arrange for two people to give you a ride, why do you think this is the red apricot out of the wall?!" ”

Suspicious of the master's mother's selfish virtues, this is a mortal enemy! The leader of the guards was in a cold sweat, quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down on the side of the road and pleaded guilty!

"When you return home, you can just tell me as you like!" Qiu Yulan sneered, "I can't stop you!?" ”

Every time she came back from the palace, she had to greet Mrs. Tao first, and she also told her about the experience of entering the palace. This time is no exception, for meeting Deng Yi on the way back, she also mentioned: "Bring some snacks to An'er and them, but I bumped into him and was beaten by a group of people, and he was not far from his granddaughter-in-law's carriage!" Originally, the granddaughter-in-law didn't pay attention, but the maid next to her begged softly, and only then did she know that it was him...... Daughter-in-law Sun thought that he didn't follow Yishu and them? How could you suffer such a loss? So I made an appointment to ask in a secluded place, and it turned out that I had already broken up with that side. ”

Old Madam Tao paused with a smile, waved her hand to make everyone retreat, and then scolded lightly: "You kid is really confused!" If you want to put it aside, you can send a hair, this kindness is nothing! After all, Nineteen is not an unreasonable person! But he hasn't been back to his room these days, how can you still ask that person to talk in private? Even if there are people watching, do you think that person used to be ...... Nineteen listened to it, I was afraid that the anger that had already disappeared was coming up again, and you did this thing Meng Lang! ”

Qiu Yulan didn't think so, she and Deng Yi's marriage, in fact, both of them were unwilling. However, at that time, Qiu Yulan was cheated by his uncle, and Deng Yi was forced by his cousin - there was not much grudge between the nominal fiancés, and he had fought a few times before, Deng Yi always fell behind, and Qiu Yulan took advantage of him, so there was no resentment against him.

After that, Deng Yi was reluctant to dissolve the marriage...... To be honest, you can't blame him entirely, it's just that he can't help himself. If he wants to be able to make his own decisions, he may not be willing to provoke Qiu Yulan. If he hadn't met Gu Yan and caught up with the fall of the Gu family, his current achievements and fame should have been no worse than Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Jinglan.

Now he has been reduced to being beaten by a group of street scoundrels......

Qiu Yulan happened to meet him, how could he just look at it like this?

Since she made a move, of course, she also had to ask - in fact, she originally wanted to ask Deng Yi what grudges he had with that group of people, but Deng Yi made it clear that he was unwilling to accept her help, and she also knew that the two had made a marriage before, and now the situation is very different, this kind of help based on sympathy and pity, the other party doesn't want it, it's better not to be reluctant. So after asking a few words, he stopped when he saw that the situation was wrong, but he was afraid that those scoundrels would still block him, so he ordered the guard.

Now listening to Mrs. Tao complaining like this, although she has a clear conscience, she is too lazy to argue with the old man, and directly admits her mistake: "Granddaughter-in-law also thinks that the situation doesn't look good, not that granddaughter-in-law has any affection for him, but looking at the person who used to be a noble person, but now that he is trampled into the mud, he always feels a little depressed." ”

This made the old lady Tao silent, and she suddenly thought of the Tao family - when the old lady was a girl, the "pillar of the country" was still there, although the Tao family at that time was not like the Jiang family today, but it was also extremely prominent.

But in the end, due to the lack of an outstanding successor, Tao Yinsong could only choose to let his granddaughter descend to Jiang Qianchuan, who was considered by the Manchu Dynasty to be just a martial artist at that time—just to do a continuation—to continue the glory of the Tao family.

But this marriage not only failed to save the Tao family's decline, but even pushed the Tao family into the abyss...... Today's Tao Mansion has long been empty, where are the young ladies who were pampered in the pavilions back then?

Although Mrs. Tao has never said anything about the fate of the Tao family, she has watched the family go from prosperity to decline, and finally destroyed at the hands of her husband's family...... The mood can be imagined!

The old lady was stunned, and only after a long time did she say abruptly: "This is also human nature, but you should consider the mood of Nineteen...... Forget it this time, I'll explain it to Nineteen for you later. You...... Go back! ”

Mother Hu sent Qiu Yulan away on her behalf, and looked at her worriedly when she returned to the house: "Old lady, don't think about it!" ”

"Did you say they met someone like the Nineteenth Daughter-in-law on their way to exile?" The master and servant spoke in unison, and at the same time were silent.
