Chapter 23: Temptation
Compared with Qin Jin's gorgeous dress, which is almost unreal, Qin Xue's appearance is slightly inferior, a pair of apricot eyes and the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, just the right curvature, which will not appear frivolous and moderately show the touch of charm, the red lips are like March peach blossoms, revealing a healthy pink luster, and her long hair like a cloud is pressed by the hairpin without any mess, spread behind her, and the slender waist set off is even more ungraspable, and a white magnolia flower shirt with good cultivation and bearing makes her look charming and vulgar, easy and elegant. If it is said that Qin Jin is a magnificent peony, then Qin Xue in front of him is a beautiful and bewitching peony! Although it is not as luxurious and graceful as the peony, it attracts people close by virtue of that charm!
The smile on Mu Qingya's lips deepened a little, compared to Lin Yuyan, this Zhao family is really good at raising a daughter, she can imagine how much it will be to overwhelm the country and the city once this Qin Xue's clear apricot eyes are dyed with enchanting charm one day, this should be the best blow to Qin Jin and Lin Yuyan!
"Presumably this is Sister Qingya, yesterday my sister and I went to the temple to make a wish for my grandmother, I didn't have time to see my sister, don't blame me, I must go to my yard to sit later, let's have a good chat!" Qin Xue took Mu Qingya's hand, her eyes were full of joy, "Grandmother, I'm going to take Sister Qingya to play with me later, don't stop me!" ”
The old lady Feng nodded with a smile: "Okay, you sisters just talk!" You're just too disciplined! ”
Mama Gui on the side saw that Feng was happy, and hurriedly said on the side: "Old lady, the filial piety of the second lady is better than the rules, the slave maid just got up early in the morning, and the second lady came, waiting for the old lady to groom and dress, and asked the slave to say that this filial piety is really rare!" ”
Feng Shi listened to Mama Gui's words, and the smile on his face deepened.
Qin Yue and the others knew that it was no wonder that Qin Xue would come out of the room, it turned out that she had just finished serving the Feng family to freshen up!
Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling were a little surprised, this second lady came to her grandmother's house early in the morning to do some work, this can't be said to be filial piety!
Mu Qingya saluted to Qin Xue: "Second sister, Qingya will go to you later, and I want you to ask for a few tricks, but my mother often blames me for being ignorant!" ”
"Look at what you say!" Qin Xue returned the salute to Mu Qingya with a smile, and that gentle bearing really made people feel relaxed.
While chatting, the meal had been put on the table, and everyone stopped laughing and had breakfast quietly. Originally, before breakfast, the wife of the fourth room should have come here to ask Feng Shi for peace, but Feng felt too annoyed, so he stopped this rule and only let a few grandchildren take turns to replace it, so Mu Qingya did not see a few aunts at the dinner table.
After quietly finishing breakfast and saying goodbye to Feng, the group went out of the courtyard. After sending Qin Yue away, Qin Xue wanted to take Mu Qingya to her courtyard, but was stopped by Qin Jin:
"Second sister, you have to wait for a while, Sister Qingya has agreed to go to the flower-viewing banquet!"
Mu Qingya: "Second sister, presumably you went to repay your grandmother's vows yesterday, so you didn't receive the invitation from the eldest sister, this is not right, let's go and see, I heard yesterday that the white crane in the courtyard of the eldest sister is just right!" ”
Qin Xue's eyes were full of joy: "So that's the case, eldest sister, don't leave my sister behind, it's very strange to live in the white crane lying in the snow, even the cheeky sister wants to go and see it!" ”
Qin Jin smiled, his eyes flashing: "Look at what you said, let's go, I must let you see enough!" Sister Jinglan, Sister Shiling, you hurry up, I'll show you my treasure first! Let them squeeze me with their words! ”
Mu Jinglan: "Then we will follow Sister Qin Jin to feast our eyes!" ”
A group of people walked for about half an hour to see a beautifully decorated courtyard, above the round arch a book "Yueying Pavilion" carved gilt plaque hung steadily, before entering the door, you can see the quiet scenery a heavy catch, the layout of flowers and trees is perfect, the rockery is murmuring, it makes people feel that the beauty is endless! Even Mu Qingya couldn't help but praise in her heart: Good scenery!
Mu Shiling was stunned for a moment, and asked loudly: "Sister Qin Jin, this courtyard is really ingenious, but it is from my sister's handwriting?" ”
Qin Jin smiled: "I don't have that ability, this courtyard was designed for me by my eldest brother Qin Yuan!" ”
"Brother Qin Yuan?" Mu Shiling was puzzled.
"It's not, it was originally a joke when I was a child, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to take it seriously, and he really gave this yard!" Qin Jin said, his eyes flashing with a hint of warmth.
Qin Yuan? Mu Qingya's eyes moved, she really didn't expect someone in the Qin Mansion to be able to design such a courtyard, thinking that this Qin Yuan should have a delicate heart......
Walking into the courtyard, the scenery is even more quiet and strange, which makes people feel a sense of fairyland, Mu Qingya and others just sat down, and there was a girl ring to send flower tea. The dried petals slowly unfold under the hot water, and the delicate flowers seem to bloom in the water, as if they have just been picked, which is particularly amazing.
"Come and try it, Chunlan's tea making skills are excellent!"
Yahuan Chunlan, who served the tea, smiled shyly: "Miss will make fun of me, my skills are not as good as Miss's three points!" ”
Hearing her words, Qin Jin's smile did not change in the slightest, and he waved her hand to the side.
Mu Qingya and the others didn't wait long, and a maid reported that it was the young ladies of Lin, Feng, and Zhang who came! Qin Jin hurriedly asked people to invite them in.
It didn't take long to see three young ladies with different appearances but upper appearances, accompanied by Yahuan and Mama.
The three of them faintly took the girl in the middle as the leader, only to see the girl slightly raising her chin, with a light smile in her beautiful eyes, mixed with a trace of coldness under her eyes.
The girl on the left has a slightly round face, a pair of water eyes are shining, and her delicate figure is matched with a white feather flying butterfly brocade dress, which sets off her more beautiful and lovely, smart as water. The girl on the right is the best among the three, with a pair of faint thin eyebrows, slender and beautiful, like eyes sprinkled with fine starlight, which seems to have a touch of sorrow, and a beautiful face like moonlight, which makes people feel more pity and yearning.
Qin Jin stood up and introduced the three of them to Mu Qingya. Mu Qingya knew that the girl in the center was called Lin Yunyan and was the niece of her mother Lin Yuyan, the girl on the left was the daughter of the old woman's nephew named Feng Yurao, and the girl on the right was the best girl named Zhang Wan of the Taifu Siqing family.
After everyone saluted one by one, they sat down one after another, Lin Yunyan greeted everyone slightly, pulled Qin Jin and asked, "Sister Jin'er, I heard that Brother Qin Yuan came back today, why didn't I see him?" ”
Qin Jin covered his lips and smiled: "Sister Yunyan, you are a guest I invited, how can you come up and ask where my brother is?" ”
Sensing her ridicule, Lin Yunyan glared: "You girl, I know you very well, what is the polite reason, I came to see Cousin Qin Yuan!" ”
"Sister Yunyan, this time I came to let you meet my sister Mu Qingya, this is my aunt's daughter Mu Qingya, who came from Linjiang City in the south of the Yangtze River to congratulate her grandfather on his birthday! These two are Mu Jingya and Mu Shiling, the eldest and second daughters of the Mu family. ”
Hearing Qin Jin's introduction, the eyes of those present looking at Mu Jingya and Mu Shiling changed, they are all pearls that grew up in their families, and they are all young ladies from various provinces, listening to Qin Jinhua's tone, these two are clearly concubines, since they are concubines, there is no reason to let them take care of them.
Lin Yunyan glanced at Mu Qingya, and was surprised to see her extraordinary bearing, but how can this Mu Qingya be said to be from a small place, where is it worth her to take it to heart, not to mention that it was born by a concubine in the Qin Mansion! Then he looked at Chunlan behind Qin Jin:
"Chunlan, don't go and inform my cousin, just say that your Miss Qin Jin has something to invite!"
"Huh."
Feng Yurao and Zhang Wan couldn't help laughing, Qin Jin hit Lin Yunyan a few times, nodded at Chunlan, and Chunlan walked out with a smile.
Mu Qingya smiled lightly, Ruyu's fingers held the tea cup steadily, and her eyes looked at the laughing crowd indifferently, feeling bored and tight about this kind of banquet.
Lin Yunyan turned her head and inadvertently took in her expression, and a wave of anger rose up, especially after seeing the almost indifferent flatness in those eyes, inexplicable anger hit her heart, she had a feeling of being ignored for the first time, pulled off the handkerchief fiercely, and turned her head to look at her maid ring: "Bilian, do you have bad eyes?" I didn't see that my tea cup was dissatisfied, so don't hurry up and fill it for me! ”
Yahuan, who was known as Bilian, hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss, the slave knows her mistake, and she will fill it up for Miss immediately." "I just poured the tea full, but I didn't want to hurt my feet, I didn't stand firm for a while and wanted to pour it on the left, and the teapot with hot water in my hand came out of my hand!
"Ahh
Everyone exclaimed, watching the hot tea splash towards Mu Qingya!
"Bang!"
The sound of the tea cup breaking sounded, and then Lin Yunyan exclaimed: "Ah! ”
It turned out that Le Qi had seen the signal in Lin Yunyan's eyes just now, and he had already taken precautions when Bilian was pouring water, and when he saw the hot water pouring towards Mu Qingya, he directly tore down the curtain of the pavilion, and blocked the sleeping and teapot in the direction of Lin Yunyan! This made Lin Yunyan exclaim.
Everyone looked over in surprise and found that the hot water had splashed her, and the original moon-white Luo skirt was particularly ugly under those tea stains.
Receiving everyone's attention, Lin Yunyan's face suddenly became ugly: "Presumptuous! Good for you, bold girl! How dare you splash Miss Ben with hot water? ”
A cold light flashed in Mu Qingya's eyes, looked at Bi Lian, who was kneeling beside her and trembling, and asked, "Your name is Bi Lian?" “
Bilian trembled and responded, "Yes!" “
retracted his eyes and commanded Leqin: "Leqin, go and inform the fourth aunt and borrow her place to use it!" ”
Seeing this scene, Qin Jin's eyes flashed with a smile, and after hearing Mu Qingya's command, he asked with some puzzlement: "Sister Qingya, ...... are you?"
Mu Qingya's bland eyes fell on Bi Lian: "Miss Lin is the niece of the fourth aunt, and it is also appropriate to take care of Miss Lin's affairs, this bold slave doesn't even serve her own young lady well, what is the use of keeping it, just pull it out and kill it!" ”
