Chapter Twenty-Five
After a while, I thought of what Lu Qiao said to herself, the palace banquet invitation she received when the army returned to the city last time was taken by the eldest lady to her niece, this niece, I'm afraid it's this one.
However, at this time, Qingyan should not have known about this, so he asked, "When will it happen?" ”
After the words fell, he pretended to look at everyone in turn with a confused face, and saw that the old lady was also slightly puzzled, the eldest lady and Lin Qingxin had vicious faces, and Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingyi looked like they were watching a good show.
Jiao Wanying said with a little embarrassment on her face: "Yesterday, my aunt told Hongyuan to greet the third cousin, and the third cousin told Hongyuan that she didn't want to enter the palace, so she asked her aunt to dispose of the invitation on her behalf." After the words fell, he cautiously glanced at Qingyan, as if to say that you don't regret it.
Qingyan is really flustered this time, no wonder it's so quiet in the morning? I'm waiting here! Thinking of this, Qingyan had a look of sudden realization.
Seeing Qingyan's expression like this, everyone's faces were different, Jiao Wanying was happy, Lin Qingxin was proud, as if saying that it was not necessary to take it out, what was hard yesterday, Lin Qingyi was nervous.
Qingyan swept everyone's faces and said: "Yesterday, Sister Hongyuan came to pass the word, saying that it means that the mother means that the invitation in Qingyan's hand can go to two people, and the second sister ......."
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, glanced at Lin Qingyi, but saw the hope in his eyes, and continued: "Mother said that the second sister is already sixteen years old, and everyone who is as old as her has already become a family, let Qingyan take the second sister into the palace for a banquet, with the talent of the second sister, she will definitely be able to attract the favor of the sons of all families. ”
Qingyan glanced at Lin Qingyi from the corner of his eye as he spoke, seeing that he was happy, and then looked at the resentment of the eldest lady, as well as the disbelief of Lin Qingxin and Jiao Wanying, and laughed secretly in his heart, is this eager to kill me? And what else......
Yuer, Qingyan showed a big smile, Qinglingling's big eyes had narrowed into a slit at this time, looked at the old lady, and said a little shyly: "Grandmother, you want to testify for Qingyan, and my mother also said that I will give Qingyan two hundred taels as a reward!" ”
After that, he looked at the eldest lady sincerely, as if he was asking for silver taels.
Seeing that the eldest lady was so angry that her chest rose and fell, but she couldn't have a seizure, Qingyan smiled secretly in her heart, you brought it all on yourself, you deserve it......
The eldest lady sorted out her emotions, and was just about to speak, when she heard it.
"Lin Qingyan, you little, don't be unscrupulous, when did your mother say that she was going to give you two silver taels?"
When the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Qingxin, who was speaking, and saw that his face was hideous and terrifying, where was there still a little bit of the dignity of everyone's ladies.
The old lady frowned and reprimanded: "Xin'er, you are everyone's lady, you must be polite when you speak, don't be like a shrew in the market." ”
Lin Qingxin was angry, tears came down, her grandmother was eccentric, Lin Qingyan's ghost story didn't care about her grandmother, and she just said a word and her grandmother scolded herself, it was Lin Qingyan's fault.
Turning her face again, she saw Lin Qingyan raising her eyebrows at her, raising her chin, and the small flames in Lin Qingxin's eyes were flickering, and she couldn't care about anything else.
Lin Qingxin took a step forward, pointed at Lin Qingyan with her fingertips, and said sharply: "Lin Qingyan, you little, hand over the invitation quickly, otherwise it will ......"
"Shut up!" Otherwise, before the words were spoken, they were stopped by the eldest lady loudly.
The eldest lady secretly said that Lin Qingxin had no brains, and she was angered so easily, and she glanced at the old lady's gloomy face, and then turned her eyes to Qingyan and said, "Yan'er, when did your mother say this, you must have remembered it wrong." ”
The majestic voice of the eldest lady and the firm tone seemed as if Qingyan was telling a lie, in fact, what Qingyan said was indeed a lie.
The eldest lady looked at Qingyan fixedly, and the secret warning in her eyes seemed to say, if you don't change your words, Mrs. Ben will make you look good.
Seeing this, Qingyan looked frightened, glanced at Lin Qingyi with her residual vision, knelt straight in front of the old lady and said: "Please grandmother Mingjian, Qingyan is a concubine, she needs to rely on her mother for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and her mother's will Qingyan does not dare to disobey." ”
After speaking, Qingyan secretly pinched herself, looked at Lin Qingyi, and continued with tears in her eyes: "What my granddaughter said is true, I don't dare to lie, the second sister can testify." ”
Lin Qingyi understood Lin Qingyan's hint, this is to ask her to help, and the benefit is to take her into the palace.
Lin Qingyi stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Grandmother, yesterday was the eldest aunt whose granddaughter begged, and the eldest aunt agreed, saying that she was going to let Sister Hongyuan say something, but I don't know why today's cousin said that the third sister had given her the invitation." Although he didn't say it directly, he also indirectly testified to Qingyan.
The public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, people are sympathetic to the weak, and the old lady is no exception, seeing Lin Qingyi and Lin Qingyan's pitiful appearance, she believes what they say more, and what Qingyan said is good, Lin Qingyi really needs this opportunity.
The old lady's majestic voice sounded in the house, "Qingyan's invitation will take Yi'er with you, and no one should mention this matter again." ”
Seeing Jiao Wanying's resentful expression, Qingyan said in her heart, it's useless for you to resent me, you have robbed things to other people's homes, who will be used to your problems,
Qingyan rolled her eyes, glanced up and down at Jiao Wanying, her appearance is delicate, but her appearance, temperament, and figure are comparable to the second sister, and she brought the second sister into the palace today to poke the hornet's nest, your level is far worse than the second sister, what is there to resent.
Jiao Wanying looked at Qingyan's gaze, thinking about the humiliation she had suffered, and secretly swore in her heart, "Lin Qingyan, I must make you pay." ”
But for a moment, Jiao Wanying couldn't hold back any longer, tears came out of her eyes, covered her mouth, ran out of Songtao Garden, and found a corner where no one was crying.
The eldest lady looked at Jiao Wanying's back as she ran out, suppressed the anger surging in her heart, glanced at Qingyan viciously, and then said, "Mother, the carriage has already been prepared, and we will enter the palace." ”
Because of the old Yong'an Hou's contribution to the Jiangshan Sheji, the mansion that was rewarded was only a few streets away from the palace.
The carriage rolled forward, Qingyan sat in the car, secretly thinking that he might perform a talent after entering the palace, so he prepared a poem and was prepared.
As a top student in the 21st century, although he is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is full of poems and songs, and he is not at all a problem to perform talents.
After getting out of the carriage, there were not many people coming at this time, the eldest lady walked in front with Lin Qingxin, Qingyan, Lin Qingyi and Lin Qingyun followed behind, along the way, the heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles, the vermilion lacquer door, a high-rise building in five steps, a pavilion in ten steps, the eaves are tall, like a bird's beak flying in the air, pavilions, rockeries and strange stones, all exude a noble and majestic atmosphere.
