Chapter XI
With the sound of firecrackers and silk bamboo gongs and drums, the General's Mansion finally ushered in a day that the whole government was looking forward to.
From the general's wife to the door to usher in the little maids, all of them are dressed brightly and brightly, and even the white-haired lion cat that the lady holds on weekdays is also wearing a big red jacket.
This is probably the first time that Ye Ying has been so happy to see Huo Junshan since she entered the mansion, and her face is not the polite smile that Su Ri faced other colleagues in the DPRK and China, but more of a sincere smile of relief.
The main hall full of friends is full of laughter and laughter to congratulate the newlyweds.
But these can't hide the Yixing in the embroidery building of Cuiwei Garden.
Ye Ying was wearing a long apricot-colored jacket, leaning alone against the window on the second floor of the embroidery building.
Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness.
Ye Ying shook her head, the fleeting thought quickly dissipated, and she even mocked herself silently in her heart.
Yilan brought a cup of tea and two or three plates of dim sum, and saw that Ye Ying looked like she was lost again, and she didn't dare to make an extra sound.
She draped a thin cloak over Ye Ying's body, "Lady, the autumn wind is rising, you should be careful of catching a cold." β
"I'm fine." She gathered her cloak and coughed lightly, "The world is vast, the future is confused, and the prosperity of Beijing is actually as cold as Yunqing Mountain." β
She came to the General's Mansion with a big lie, but her feelings at this time were very sincere.
The next afternoon, she asked Guan Ju for tea.
Guan Ju saw that she seemed to be a little tired, so he asked with concern: "Your brother got married yesterday, why does it look like you are tired today?" β
"It's easy to come out after a busy trip, you just make fun of me like this, next time you come out by yourself!"
Ye Ying frowned and became disgusted
"I see that you don't like to talk today, make you laugh, you are annoyed with me. It's really stingy! β
She said that she asked the maid to hold the piano, and she was very proud to introduce, "A few days ago, my grandfather received a good paulownia wood qin, the method of making the piano is the same as the Jiaowei qin of the year, I tried it shallowly, and it was really a good piano, the sound is beautiful but soft like a mountain spring." I'll play it to you laterβ"
Before she could finish speaking, a stream of people came from nowhere.
Take a closer look at this group of people, all of whom are women, including seventeen or eighteen-year-old Biaomei girls and twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old.
Holding all kinds of flowers and sweet fruits in their hands, they followed behind a carriage with Hetian jade carved ceilings, shouting and throwing the flowers and fruits in their hands beside the carriage.
Ye Ying had never seen this battle before, and was taken aback: "This, what's going on?" Are these people crazy? β
"The person in the carriage is Ran Chen, Doctor Ran, a famous master of the apricot forest in Beijing, legend has it that he has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and there is a saying that he is a living person and not a doctor."
"So, what's going on with the woman following here?"
"I heard that this Dr. Ran not only has superb medical skills, but also has the appearance of Song Yu, he is eight feet long, his skin is like snow, even women are ashamed to see it, and his gestures are elegant. This group of women heard about his appearance and imitated the grand occasion when the women threw fruit when they saw Pan An. And he is a noble person, with a heart to help the world, and the hospital has asked him several times, but he has refused. β
"There is still such a person in Beijing!"
Ye Ying sighed with emotion.
She pulled Yilan over and whispered, "Find a chance to walk around with this Doctor Ran, and you can use it later." β
In the midst of this noise, they came to a quiet alley, where the Lingqin Club was located.
Ye Ying and Guan Ju are frequent visitors here, and even if they are not accompanied by each other, they often come to listen to the piano and drink tea.
As soon as the song ended, a sense of melancholy also enveloped Guan Ju's heart, "My father said that I would go to Shuxian Courtyard next month, it is rare to have a friend like you, but I will be separated so soon." β
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to go, people, how can you keep having fun and doing nothing."
"You are really strange today, when I first saw you, I was so unrelenting, and now I feel so emotional, is it possible that your sister-in-law is not easy to get along with?"
"I only officially met this morning, where is there anything good to get along with, besides, she is Jing Zhaoyin's daughter, with a gentle temperament and knowledgeable temperament, my father and wife like it very much."
"So what's wrong with you? I can't tell you why I asked you for a long time, I really see that I'm in a hurry! β
With that, she picked up the cup next to her and took a sip.
Ye Ying accidentally discovered that the amber cup she used was the pair she had sold to King Guangling before, and she asked tentatively, "Where did you get this amber cup?" β
"This? This was received by King Guangling a while ago, and I thought I liked it, so I asked someone to send it over. I saw that the color and carving were all excellent! β
"King Guangling?"
Ye Ying's question actually made Guan Ju's face look ashamed.
Ye Ying saw her blushing and deliberately made things difficult: "Quickly recruit from the truth, what's going on?" β
"I won't hide it from you, I have known him since childhood, and he said that when I finish my studies from Shuxian Academy, I will ask His Majesty for marriage."
She couldn't help but be overjoyed when she mentioned King Guangling, and her smile and smile were all the delicate and lovely unique to the daughter of the boudoir.
After a while, a strange and familiar figure appeared.
There seemed to be some embarrassment between Ye Ying and him facing him directly.
Guan Ju smiled and called softly: "Zong Yu." β
"It's rare to come out of the palace to see you today, but I don't want to see this 'old man', it's really fate!"
He looked at Ye Ying next to him and said, his tone still slightly contemptuous.
"It's really fate, the prince is so Yaxing. Why didn't you go to Xiangbao Zhai today? β
Ye Ying replied when she saw him say this.
Guan Ju next to her looked at her questioningly and asked, "Ye Ying, do you know each other?" β
"Ye Xi is as gorgeous as a flower, gentle as a glow, what a good name. Fortunately. A few days ago, in Xiangbao Zhai, it was this lady and I who grabbed this amber cup. β
"Ye Ying grew up in Bingzhou since she was a child, and she has only been in the capital for less than a year, no wonder you don't recognize it, this is General Huo's daughter, Ye Ying, this is the King of Guangling."
After Guan Ju was introduced, the three of them sat in front of a square table.
Ye Ying looked at this King of Guangling, although he seemed to behave elegantly and gently like jade, but his eyes made people faintly feel that this person was quite a city.
But when he looked at Guan Ju, his eyes were extremely gentle.
Ye Ying found out for a while that her brothers, her friends and friends were all in pairs, and only she had to face the danger of being mentioned or even exposed at any time.
Thinking of this, she didn't have time to have fun and talk here, so she only found an excuse to take Yilan away and leave.
Walking out of the alley, Ye Ying thought about it and ordered: "I remember that there is a good mountain ginseng at home, right?" Take it out of the warehouse and send it to Dr. Ran's hospital tomorrow. Be sure to hand it over to him yourself. β
"It's just a doctor, who is not sick or sick, what do you do with him? That mountain ginseng is worth 10,000 taels! You don't have a crush on him, do you? β
"What are you talking nonsense? I'm not sick, but soon someone will get sick. Don't ask so much, just send it. β
Ye Ying's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but Yi Lan didn't know what her purpose was.
As soon as they returned home, Ye Ying and Yilan bumped into Grandma Sun and didn't know what to say to her wife.
When she saw them coming back, Grandma Sun left immediately, her expression flashing as if she had something unsightly to carry them on her back.
Mrs. Tao still asked with a smile on her face, "Why did you come back at this time?" Have you eaten? Your sister-in-law personally cooked the soup today, and when she saw that you didn't come back, she specially left it for you, and she has been simmering on the fire! I'll ask Grandma Sun to send you to your room later. β
"Let's ask Yilan to do it! Recently, I don't know why, Mama Sun is always in a trance, Xu is old, and she is easy to get tired. β
"Trance? Have it? Maybe as you said, Grandma Sun is indeed old. She is an old lady in the house, respectful and diligent, and loyal and kind. If she really feels unwell, she will ask a doctor to come and see her another day. She is lonely and pitiful. β
"Madame is thoughtful, if there is anything on my side, let Yilan do more, and Grandma Sun is also taking a rest."
I don't know if there is a ghost in my heart, Ye Ying always feels that there is something in Mrs. 's words, as if there is an allusion.
Especially what the two of them said just now, it made people feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying glanced at Yilan fiercely, and Yilan hurriedly lowered her head in fright.
Night soon came, and it was the nineteenth day of the month, and she sat at the window as usual.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a black shadow passing over the embroidery building very quickly, and before Ye Ying could react, Ah Qi was already standing in front of her.
Ye Ying looked at him and nodded approvingly: "You are really extraordinary, the alley outside the gate of the General's Mansion is deep and secluded, and after nightfall, there are guards and my father's personal soldiers to guard it, you can actually avoid these people coming here." β
Ah Qi replied with a sneer: "In my eyes, these people are no different from the stakes that practice, but there is something wrong with the lady calling me here?" β
"Today is just a small test for you, and in a few days, someone will send you a note. Also, I stole a military post from my father, and you should take it to the Yamen of the Beijing Division to report your household registration, so as not to arouse suspicion when you go out. You go back first! β
Seeing this, Yilan's fear and uneasiness returned to her heart again.
Her voice trembled, and the objects in her hands almost fell to the ground.
"Lady, what are you asking Ah Qi to do!"
"You don't know what I did to save Ah Qi?"
"The servant knows, you, who are you trying to solve!"
"Don't worry, it's not you. You don't need him to kill you. I have other plans. β
