Chapter 37: What You Should Not Ask

Qiu Yulan returned to the palace in a huff, and only then did she enter the courtyard, and Chun Ran greeted her and reported a message: "Aunt Bian is red!" ”

"Oh?" Qiu Yulan was stunned, the original agreement between her and Aunt Bian was to protect Qiu Mengmin before she recovered, but now that Qiu Mengmin has recovered, it has been a few days since Qiu Mengmin recovered, and now Aunt Bian's accident has nothing to do with her, so she just asked, "Who did it?" Princess Yang or Qiu Hongzhi? ”

Chun Ran said: "There is a lot of commotion over there, and our people haven't made it clear, anyway, they just ate what they shouldn't eat, and now the imperial doctor is busy working." ”

In the evening of this day, it was reported that the child was saved in the end, but Aunt Bian's vitality was greatly damaged, and she had to lie on the couch to recuperate after that, and she couldn't even walk a few steps slowly out of the house - at the same time as the news came, Qiu Mingzhu said goodbye to Shao Yuemei, saying that she was relieved that Aunt Bian would not be relieved and wanted to accompany her for a few days.

"Neither Princess Yang nor Qiu Hongzhi have been punished?" Qiu Yulan was a little surprised, "Could it be that they want to blame me for the matter?!" ”

Xia Ran said: "Could it be because of inconvenience?" ”

"In May, Miss Ding passed the door, and now on this eye joint, it is indeed not appropriate to give birth to right and wrong." Qiu Yulan thought about it, "However, it is estimated that it is because of this that they started." However, it didn't work out, and the palace became more and more lively in the future. ”

Since the fire didn't burn on him, Qiu Yulan didn't bother to pay attention to it now, and gave up after asking a few words of gossip.

The next day is the last day of the Oiran race, and the battle between Hanashen and Penglai Yue in the past few days has its own merits, and it is still difficult to distinguish between them.

So the result of the last day touched the hearts of many people - Qiu Yulan began to sigh early in the morning: "I really don't know how big a bamboo pole my cousin was knocked this time, can I live in the general's mansion in the future?" Those rich people are too much, don't they understand the truth that wealth is not exposed! Baskets of gold, silver and jewels are sprinkled with them, and they deserve to be remembered by thieves! ”

Chun Ran and Xia Ran bit their lips frequently, and finally saw that she was really uneasy, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have seen a lot of such a scene before, and the giants in the south have picked up people, so it is called spending money like iron!" In fact, the scene here in Beijing is just like that. ”

Qiu Yulan listened to their strange looks, and said in surprise: "The south is also so mad?!" ”

"It's all just a faΓ§ade." Harurome said, "Where are those prostitutes. How much are people really worth? One is to fight for wealth, and the other is to go to the proprietor behind them. For example, why does Ling Xiaohou Ye support the 'Jinbao Pavilion'? It's nothing more than that Jingchuan Hou has a share in it. And the proprietor of 'Drinking Spring Building' is rumored to be a certain clan. ”

Hearing that this is a political investment, rather than a loser who is purely drunk and face-saving, Qiu Yulan's heart suddenly felt a lot better: "I said, that day in Yunyi Building, those people were like having mountains of gold and silver at home, it turned out to be like this." ”

She freshened up, had breakfast, and was about to go to the boudoir - on this eye bone, Shen Shui came in and said, "The county lord of Duanrou is here." ”

"Duanrou County Lord?" Qiu Yulan was surprised, "Why is the county lord here?" Please! ”

At this time, she naturally didn't care about going to the boudoir to study, and sent Su He to take leave, she went to the front to welcome Chu Chunxiao to the house and sat down, and was speculating about what was important for the county lord to come to the door early in the morning - but Chu Chunxiao asked her to clear the scene, and was extremely embarrassed to take out a begonia flower paper folded into the shape of Fang Sheng: "This is what Aunt Yongfu asked me to send to the county lord, it is said to be ...... Nineteen uncles gave it. ”

She added, "Little aunt, she is now detained in the palace by the queen and is not allowed to come out. ”

Qiu Yulan almost wanted to hit the wall - I thought that the golden branch and jade leaf were only occasionally convulsed, but it turned out that people were really consumed! Do you have to change to a healthy and natural way? You don't get tired of the meat a few times a day, and I can't stand it!

It could be seen that Chu Chunxiao was also very sympathetic to her, and while putting that Fang Sheng on the table, he whispered: "Why don't you wait for me to leave, you will burn it?" Anyway, I just promised her to bring things and words. ”

See the fourteen-year-old county lord sex. Zi was very generous, and Qiu Yulan asked weakly: "Can the county lord tell me why Princess Yongfu is so active in ......?" ”

"You don't know?" Chu Chunxiao's eyes widened, "It's not that you know Uncle Nineteen, it's because the little aunt is pulling the strings?" ”

…… Qiu Yulan pressed his chest, lest he be angry and vomit blood: "That's what she said? "Could it be that even Princess Yongfu's festival has been taken up by Jiang Yashuang? Obviously, she was unruly and broke into the place, and almost turned her cousin into a flower thief, but she thought she had done a good deed?!

Chu Chunxiao heard that something was wrong, and sighed: "I knew that my little aunt's words couldn't be believedβ€”but now she thinks so, it is said that two days ago, she also told Mrs. Tao, if you don't be her nineteenth cousin, what does it mean?" ”

"So Jiang Yashuang suddenly came to propose marriage that night, was she prodding?" Qiu Yulan knelt down for Princess Yongfu again, and thought with tears in her eyes, "This master is the only blood-related grandchild of Old Madam Tao, could it be that Old Madam Tao also suggested that Jiang Yashuang marry me because of her entanglement?" ”

I always feel that something is wrong, "The Tao family is in decline, the Jiang family is prominent, Queen Jiang is also surnamed Jiang, and it is rumored that Jiang Yashuang is the most favored nephew, it is impossible to take Jiang Yashuang's lifelong events as child's play for the sake of a Yongfu princess, right?" Anyway, he was also taught by Qin Guogong himself, no matter how you look at it, he is also a favored grandson, how could he arbitrarily set up a marriage in order to please his granddaughter? ”

However, she is also hearsay about the internal affairs of the Jiang family now, and she doesn't care about it after thinking about it: "Anyway, I hinted that agreeing to the marriage is also a delaying strategy, and it may have something to do with the Jiang family when I look back, what are you worried about now?" ”

Seeing that Qiu Yulan was speechless for a long time, Chu Chunxiao was sympathetic: "The county lord is now unresolved in the marriage contract, and it is really not good for the little aunt to toss like this." Or I'll go back and persuade her to go. ”

"Thank you so much, the county lord." Qiu Yulan said busily.

"The county lord is polite." Chu Chunxiao comforted her again, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as she left, Qiu Yulan didn't even have the heart to open the letterhead, and directly lit a candle and burned it to ashes - she finished and freshened up, and then took Su He to her boudoir.

I chose Shao Yuemei to sit down during the lecture break, but I immediately felt that the atmosphere in today's boudoir school was strange.

Originally, Sheng Shushui and Shao Yuemei were both deep people in the city, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they always greeted each other with a smile on their faces and treated people politely, and the swing was also a sensible and well-behaved look, and the usual disputes were basically caused by Qiu Tulan and Qiu Mingzhu.

Now that Qiu Mingzhu is not worried about Aunt Bian's leave, it is said that there are two students in the boudoir school, the water and the swing, even if they don't get along with a group of harmony, they should not violate the river water.

However, the atmosphere was extremely stiff, and even Shao Yuemei, who had never been involved in the fight between disciples, did not look good.

"What's going on?" Qiu Yulan looked at the swing suspiciously.

But I saw the swing with his head down, looking worried, as if he was in trouble.

She was about to ask, but Shao Yuemei, who was at the top, spoke lightly - she had to be silenced.

After school at noon, Qiu Yulan exchanged a few words with Shao Yuemei, ignored Sheng Shushui, and took the swing back to his house, so he asked in a low voice: "When I was talking to the county lord of Duanrou, you guys had a fight?" ”

Swing said embarrassedly: "No." She bit her lower lip before whispering, "I...... It's like I'm asking something I shouldn't be asking. ”

"What did you ask?" Qiu Yulan was surprised. With the temperament of the swing, as well as the purpose of her coming to study in the boudoir, she should not be open-mouthed. And Shao Yuemei and Sheng Shushui are not people who are happy and angry, so it can be seen that the question of swing must be strange.

Sure enough, Qiu Yulan's words made Qiu Yulan stunned: "When Mr. Shao talks about spices in his lecture today, I ask how a kind of incense called 'sleep' is made...... Then Mr. Shao's face was not good-looking. Miss Sheng wanted to round the field, but was scolded by Mr. Shao instead......"

Qiu Yulan tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Then did Mr. Shao tell you the origin of this sleeping incense?" ”

"Mr. Shao said that she didn't know about this fragrance." Swing cautiously asked, "Sister Lan, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

"Nope." Qiu Yulan said perfunctorily, and asked eagerly, "This sleep incense...... Where did you hear about it? ”

Seeing her expression, Swing became more and more uneasy, and muttered: "It's the palace maid mother-in-law who asked me to return to my hometown that my big sister invited me before." ”

"What did she tell you?" When Qiu Bo said that he had asked an old palace maid to teach him manners for Swing, Qiu Yulan didn't take it to heart at all, but now he knew that the old palace maid actually knew about the sleeping incense - he immediately became cautious!

Swing said timidly: "The mother-in-law also taught me to identify spices before, I liked Fumi incense very much at that time, and I thought it had a long aroma, soft and sweet. But the mother-in-law said that the best smell she had ever seen was the fragrance of sleep, and the fragrance was ethereal and indescribable. It's a pity that this incense is very visible and has been lost. ”

"What's the name of this mother-in-law you're talking about? Are you still there? Are there any descendants? Qiu Yulan asked again and again!

"My mother-in-law's surname is Guan, and I don't know my name. She is gone, she went two years ago, and there is no descendant. Because she taught me, the eldest sister buried her for her......" Swing asked in surprise, "County Lord, this sleep incense?" ”

Qiu Yulan rubbed the corners of her forehead, her face was not very good-looking: "In the future, if someone asks you about this sleeping incense, you'd better say something." As for the things left by Granny Guan, if there is a nobleman who wants it, she will give it all - you really don't know more things about the sleeping incense? ”

Speaking of this, the swing can no longer hear that this sleep incense must be very involved, and there is no need to continue to learn from the boudoir, she hesitated for a moment before saying: "Granny Guan has not been willing to say much, I really don't know." In fact, after I heard what my mother-in-law said, I also wanted to see the sleep incense, but this incense has never appeared on the market. ”

Qiu Yulan thought to himself that this was something that killed the two noble people of the first emperor's father and son, and it was strange that you could buy it casually!

She frowned slightly and said, "Don't tell me that you have inquired about the sleeping incense?" ”

Swing said embarrassedly: "It was the eldest sister who paid attention to it, but it will be for my brother to study, and the family is not very generous, the eldest sister heard that it was the incense in the palace, so she persuaded me to wait for my brother to win the list and then say - Sister Lan, this incense?" ”

"You were probably far away from Beijing before, so you didn't hear the news. This sleep incense was offered to the first emperor by the abolished prince of the previous dynasty. Qiu Yulan frowned and said, "It's better not to mention it in the future!" ”

Swing exclaimed: "But Granny Guan said it was poisonous......"

"So it's the Waste Prince." Qiu Yulan snorted, "This matter is too big for you to bear, don't mention it again in the future!" ”

As he was talking, the water from outside came in and said, "Miss Sheng asks to see!" ”

"Come in with her." Qiu Yulan is usually too lazy to take care of the passing water, but since he knows that the swing just asked about the sleeping incense, now he has to let the passing water in.

Sure enough, Sheng Shushui left the maid outside, entered the door alone, asked for peace, and saw that Qiu Yulan and the swing were outside, so Su He waited for him, and he was not verbose: "The little girl Qiu has only arrived in Beijing, and she doesn't know many things, and occasionally says things that shouldn't be said, I think it's understandable." I just want to say something today: What Miss Qiu asked today, although Miss Qiu has a clear conscience, but if it is spread out, I am afraid that there will be right and wrong, so it is better to have no such thing. What do the county lord and the little girl think of it? ”

Qiu Yulan thought to herself that Princess Yang deliberately arranged for this Sheng Shui to enter the boudoir school, and she was really a smart person - this kind of thing involving the struggle for the crown of the previous dynasty, even if it was clearly announced on the scene, who knows what is dirty in private? If you make a rash fuss, you may be pitting yourself.

Sheng Shushui obviously didn't want to be involved in this kind of thing inexplicably, and this was to make a guarantee: she wouldn't spread the swing question.

"But she doesn't spread the word, what about Shao Yuemei?" Qiu Yulan secretly thought, "That's the Jiang family's henchman...... The swing may be in big trouble now! I don't know if it will affect me? ”
