Chapter 55: After Dusk
Qiu Lulan and Ruan Ciyi were worried all the way, so Jiang Yashuang specially arranged for Qi Shuluo's carriage to go next to the Ruan family's team.
But as he said, the monarchs and ministers went to Dizi Mountain together, and the honor guard, scale, and road conditions ...... All of them led to a slow trip.
Therefore, Qiu Jinglan was too peaceful until she lived in another hospital, which can be regarded as a relief for Qiu Jinglan and the others.
The three of them lived in the Ruan family's courtyard - of course, it was not the annex that General Ruan would have set up, and at that time there was no property except for the general's mansion.
Now this one was bought by Qiu Jinglan himself during the summer vacation last year, because he was still a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Xue Chang with high hopes at that time, so it was very close to the Xue family villa.
And Xue Chang, as an important minister, is of course not far from the palace where he lives...... In the same way, the Jiang family, the Gu family, and the like, the manors where the bigwigs of the DPRK and China spend their summer vacations are all in this vicinity.
However, although Qiu Jinglan was called over to "accompany Cousin Ruan" during the summer vacation last year, at that time, Qiu Jinglan was afraid that her sister would be taken advantage of, and Jiang Yashuang had no chance to come in. This is the first time he has stepped into this "Green Snow Mountain Villa".
The scale of this Zhuangzi is far less than that of the Jiang family, but the former owner also took a lot of thought - specially intercepted the mountain spring to come in, gathered into a lake, and planted evergreen trees and vines all over the coast, in response to the name of "green snow".
"Brother, this Zhuangzi is quiet and lovely, although it is rare to see delicate flowers after coming in, but the eyes are full of thick green, and there is no charm." Jiang Yashuang looked around, and had to praise a few words.
Ling Zui didn't have to please his brother-in-law, and unceremoniously dismantled the stage: "What is his credit?" This Zhuangzi has not been touched since it fell into his hands, and it is said that the previous owner had family members who could not see flowers, and they were going to have a rash when they saw it, so they only saw plants and trees here but did not see flowers...... By the way, didn't you say you were going to move some flowers? Why hasn't it been done yet? β
Qiu Jinglan said helplessly: "Look at me like this now...... Can you still manage such a trivial matter? β
Jiang Yashuang was about to take over this matter, but Ruan Ciyi suddenly said: "Let my sister do this thing!" β
"Me?" Qiu Yulan was giving Jiang Yashuang a look with his eyes, thinking that the opportunity to show it had arrived, you had to seize it...... Suddenly, hearing Ruan Ciyi mention this, Qiu Jinglan and Ling Zui's eyes also turned over, and they couldn't help but be stunned!
"That's just as well." Qiu Jinglan groaned, and actually nodded, "It's still my sister's thoughtfulness!" He explained to her, "Now that the summer vacation has just begun, you have nothing to do anyway, you should walk around and get to know more people!" Nowadays, all the families on this mountain are more or less raising some flowers and plants, and it is not a problem to get familiar with them and ask for a few plants with others, and our family does not want others in vain. β
Co-authoring is a reason for her to go out and socialize with many people - Ruan Ciyi is a regular noblewoman, and she has full experience in the growth and cultivation of noblewomen, and even Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang are not as thoughtful as she is in this regard.
And Jiang Yashuang was even more overjoyed when she heard this, and frequently cast grateful glances at Ruan Ciyi - with his huge team of cousins and cousins, Qiu Yulan started "noble girl diplomacy", and he was afraid that he would not find a chance to get along alone?
As long as there is a small group of sisters who learn from Princess Yongfu, this year's summer vacation should not be too sweet!
However, after Qiu Yulan officially started to walk, Jiang Yashuang realized that he was happy too early!
At first, his sisters and sisters were very willing to help, taking turns to ask Qiu Yulan out, and after calling him over, they made excuses to leave, all of them were knowledgeable and interesting, full of the spirit of friendship between brothers and sisters!
Then one day it was Zhuang Man's turn, a true disciple of the dark culinary world, who had a good memory and dragged Qiu Yulan out for a picnic - in Qiu Yulan's words, Dizi Mountain in summer is delicious all over the mountains!
Zhuang Man was satisfied with this trip, and of course she wanted to find someone to show off with her temper, so she ...... The next people who asked Qiu Yulan all turned Jiang Yashuang away, and instead called a large group of sisters to join the "Emperor Mountain on the Tip of the Tongue" initiated by Zhuang Man and Qiu Yulan!
β¦β¦ Of course, they wouldn't let Qiu Yulan cook it alone for a group of them to eat, after all, not everyone is a descendant of the dark culinary world - and Qiu Yulan is not so easy to call. But a group of people used local materials to cook and cook in the wilderness, and by the way, they were all interested in listening to Qiu Yulan's imparting of wild survival knowledge that was very novel to them.
In this regard, the ladies and old ladies behind the girls learned about the situation and felt good: "They are all girls from quite families, and it is a good thing to get together often." And they also exchange cooking skills with each other, which is what girls should learn after all...... Just tell your subordinates to be careful, don't get burned. β
In this case, Jiang Yashuang ran to his eleventh sister-in-law, Xiao Zhuang, that is, Zhuang Man's own sister, and went crazy: "It's all made by Cousin Man!" Sister-in-law, you can help me, she took the lead, pulling Lan Lan around outside all day long, and she didn't want to think about such a hot day, Lan Lan could stand it?! β
Xiao Zhuang's burst out laughing: "I've heard that this prospective brother-in-law is a tiger girl, and she saw a hare more than a dozen feet away, and she added a dish to them by pulling out a hairpin!" Do you think she's weak? And he said, "You don't know Man'er's temper?" I can't control her...... Unless my aunt comes back, maybe she'll listen to it! β
The aunt she said was naturally Jiang Yashuang's mother, Mrs. Zhuang.
Mrs. Zhuang is notoriously spicy and jealous, when she heard that Jiang Tianchi had taken a concubine in the north, she left the young Jiang Yadan without saying a word, and cried with her in-laws to "take care of her husband". Then as soon as she arrived in the north, she gave the concubine away, and less than six months later, the concubine found Jiang Tianchi with a baby boy in her arms, and after a lot of tossing, the baby boy entered the Jiang family, which is now the sixteenth son Jiang Yazhu.
It's just that the concubine was driven back to the original home by Mrs. Zhuang......
After such an incident, Mrs. Zhuang was even more strict against Jiang Tianchi. Later, she gave birth to Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang, twin sons in the north, because the two sisters and brothers were not used to the northern climate and had been sick, Jiang Tianchi persuaded her to take the child back to Beijing for the sake of her children's lives, but she refused, and insisted on letting her subordinates take the swaddling clothes back to Beijing to hand over to her in-laws, and she also wanted to stay there to keep an eye on her husband!
Such a jealous master, where can he come back to discipline his niece?
Jiang Yashuang said depressedly: "Sister-in-law, you said this to amuse me!" β
Xiao Zhuang is both his sister-in-law and his cousin, seeing him sullen, his heart softened, and he smiled: "Okay, I'll call Man'er over to talk about her when I go back." It's just that she won't listen, and I can't help it. He teased again, "I said, you have this name, what are you anxious about?" After the summer vacation, you have to go back to your hometown to take the exam, which will not concentrate on reading books, always run to find your brother and daughter-in-law, and be careful that the elders hate you! β
"I'm almost done with my homework." Jiang Yashuang sneered, "And on such a hot day, the girls are always running outside...... Blame the danger. β
"It's not hot on the mountain, and there are so many trees, so many are cool places to stay, how can they wronged themselves?" Xiao Zhuang laughed and said, "You! is just thinking about the prospective brother and daughter-in-law, and he is still hard-mouthed! β
β¦β¦ Although Xiao Zhuang made fun of Jiang Yashuang, she was also reliable, and the next day she called Zhuang Man over: "You don't know that more than nineteen are rare, and now that one hasn't passed the door." It's not convenient to be private when you're in town. Yes, now that we are in the mountains, everyone lives far away in other industries, and there is no disturbance from the neighbors, which is a good time for them to come and go...... Why are you so ignorant? β
When Zhuang Man heard this, he shouted again and again: "I don't mean to tear down the nineteenth cousin's platform, but Sister Qiu herself is also having a good time with us!" She wants to tell me that she wants to meet with Cousin Nineteen, why do I go to her every day? β
"The girls are tender!" Xiao Zhuang Shibai glanced over, "You are still a cousin of nineteen, she just thinks so, is she embarrassed to tell you?" β
Zhuang Man's eyes rolled: "So it's actually Nineteen who wants to find her, she may not ......"
"Are you sure you want to offend Nineteen?" Xiao Zhuang seemed to be smiling, "Have you forgotten that last time when you went down the splendid slope, Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng were happy to dismantle the stage for a while, what happened now?" I only heard yesterday that the second uncle personally sent a message to promise Jiang Qisheng to Ou Bicheng's cousin Ou Bikong, who was in Northern Xinjiang...... That's not all, you don't know our aunt's temper? Jiang Qisheng arrived in northern Xinjiang, if her aunt knew that she couldn't get along with her son and prospective daughter-in-law, it would be strange if she didn't toss her! β
"Don't talk about Cousin Nineteen like a beast, those two people have no brains!" Zhuang Man disagreed, "However, Jiang Qiyun has a good fate, relying on her good grandfather, she can actually be promised to the King of Qi...... Tsk, if you see her again in autumn, you have to salute and say hello! Originally, she was very domineering, and I don't know if she will raise her tail to the sky as a princess! β
Xiao Zhuang shook his head, with a hint of bitterness on his face: "Although Nineteen will not pit you with lifelong events, but you are all older, and you can't do things well anymore as you did when you were a child, how can you say that you are also your own cousin, and you have nothing to do with Qiu Lulan, why do you offend him?" As for Jiang Qiyun, you are too naΓ―ve, do you think she will be a princess? I don't want to think that her mother-in-law will be the queen mother in the future...... The queen mother is the most painful nineteen! β
She thought to herself that she and Jiang Yahong were also relatives who turned the corner, and they often met each other when they were young, and they thought that after they got married, they didn't say that they were as good as one person, and it was always okay to be affectionate, right? The result? Although Jiang Yahong respectfully coaxed her, didn't the concubines and beauties take them to the backyard one by one? She relied on her childhood sweethearts and Yuan husband and wife, and she made trouble a few times, and Jiang Yahong's face was not good-looking......
Now there is no problem on the face of the husband and wife, but there are gaps in their hearts. With such an experience, although Jiang Yashuang has already married Qiu Yulan, it is impossible to marry Zhuang Man again, but Xiao Zhuang has deeply experienced the friendship when he was a child, and he may not be reliable when he grows up, so he is naturally afraid that his sister will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Zhuang Man had a headache when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I know what you mean, I won't go to Sister Qiu again if I have nothing to do in the future, so as not to disturb them...... But I can't care if anyone else comes to me. β
She can't manage it, but Jiang Qizheng can manage it-it's not managed, Jiang Qizheng, who can't help her younger brother's entanglement, in order to make time for her brother-in-law, she has to pull up and water gold, and hold this word meeting and that poetry club again and again, and find reasons to invite Qiu Yulan again and again...... Relying on the help of her sister-in-law and sister, Jiang Yashuang got her wish and met with Qiu Yulan alone.
It's just that as soon as the two met this time, Qiu Yulan said with a smile: "I just made an appointment with your cousin's cousin Xin, tomorrow I will go to her house to see the lotus flowers, if you think it's good, dig a few and plant them in the Green Snow Villa." As a result, the date has been set, and you ask Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu to intervene and disrupt this date...... What do you think I'm going to do to clean you up? β
"Isn't it easy to see lotus flowers?" Jiang Yashuang looked at her with a smile, "There is a big lake in the valley south of Emperor Mountain, and there are dozens of miles of lotus flowers on the lake in this season?" The lotus flowers of the Fu Bing family were dug from there at all! What is planted in the flower pond of their house, can it be compared with those dozens of miles of lotus? Let's go, I'll take you there to pick! β
