Chapter 18 Mrs. Heningjun
Ye Lan comforted: "I didn't offend them, and I didn't do anything bad, can people of their class deal with me?" Don't worry, it's okay. ”
"If you don't come back before dark, I'll go find Brother Qin."
"It's ...... to find him" Ye Lan paused, and said in her heart that it would be good to comfort the children, so she changed her words: "Okay, your eldest brother Qin knows a lot of people, if I don't come back after dark, you will go to him." ”
On the way, Ye Lan couldn't help but ask the girl Qiuyan who was also in the carriage, "I don't know what your mansion is?" ”
Qiu Yan smiled lightly: "You'll know when you see Madame." ”
Ye Lan didn't want to say more, Miss Qiuyan didn't say anything all the way, and that grandma Sun didn't bother to look at her.
The carriage traveled slowly for an hour, and Ye Lan estimated in her heart that such a long distance should be to Qinghefang.
"It's here, lady, please."
Ye Lan got out of the carriage and was led by the female envoy through the corner gate, through the spacious courtyard and verandah, and walked hundreds of steps before entering the back house through the hanging flower gate.
After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, Ye Lan dared to look up, and she couldn't help but be shocked by this look.
Ye Lan finally knew what the pavilions, carved beams and paintings mentioned in the book looked like, and what she saw along the way, flowing water, rockeries, beautiful scenery and wonders one after another.
There are bamboo pavilions and lakes that complement each other, and the green grass on the lakeside looks like a painting hanging there from a distance, rather than a real scene.
The size of the back house is really beyond Ye Lan's imagination, this is to build a garden at home.
The path was winding, Miss Qiuyan led the way in front, Ye Lan followed slowly, and suddenly Grandma Sun reprimanded: "Do you know where this is, dare to look around." ”
Ye Lan really wanted to give her a blank look, but she couldn't help it.
After walking for another stick of incense, Miss Qiuyan stopped, but said to Grandma Sun: "Grandma Sun is tired, let's go down and rest first." ”
Grandma Sun glanced into the room before reluctantly leaving.
Ye Lan's heart was strange, and her face was silent.
"Lady, please."
Catching up with her family's large room, the inner room and the outer room were divided, and Ye Lan entered the outer room through the slender corridor.
Sitting on the soft couch in front of her was a very beautiful young woman, not powdered or gorgeously dressed, but the whole person looked like a kind of beauty that had been washed away.
"I've seen Madame." Ye Lan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The young woman was slightly surprised and smiled lightly: "I am Mrs. Hening County in the Chengwang Mansion, surnamed Dong." ”
Wang fu? Ye Lan was shocked, she actually came to the palace?
She guessed that the owner of this mansion was either rich or noble, but she didn't dare to think that it would be the palace, and the side concubines in the palace also drank the tea she made?
Miss Qiuyan invited her to sit and asked the maid to serve tea, and then complained to the county lady Dong Qingyan: "When I was about to go out, Grandma Sun saw that she had to follow, and she was rude to Ye Niangzi. ”
"Let her go, after all, it is the princess who gave it, let's stay for life."
Qiu Yan didn't say more, Dong Qingyan didn't expect that it was such a young lady who made such a good tea, she heard that it was a female tea maker, she always thought that she was a little old, but now when she saw it, she felt more admired.
"Don't hide it from Mrs. Ye, I don't have any other hobbies in my life, and I don't have any other hobbies in my life, but I love to drink tea, my sister-in-law gave me a new pot of tea that day, and I liked it as soon as I smelled it.
"Don't dare, it's my honor that Madame can like my tea."
This Mrs. Heningjun is quite approachable, compared to this, the grandma Sun with her nostrils facing the sky is nothing.
"I heard that Ye Niangzi works in the Zhou family's tea shop, why is your tea only for his family?"
Ye Lan only said that she had limited manpower, and it was thanks to the shopkeeper Zhou and his wife that they are where they are today.
After saying a few words, a female envoy reported that the Xiuqing girl next to the princess had come over.
Before Ye Lan could hear Mrs. Jun speak, the girl named Xiuqing came in.
He was followed by three or four female envoys, each holding a gilded double-fish plate in his hand.
"The princess heard that the side concubine is entertaining guests here, so she asked the slave to send some new melons and fruits." Xiuqing asked one of the female envoys to step forward, and said: "This is Chen Zi Lychee from the Fujian Xinghua Army, the prince knows that the princess likes it, so he sent it quickly." ”
"If it is the princess's favorite, how can I win the love of others."
"The princess said that they are all her own sisters, and she should reward some side concubines."
Qiu Yan was about to speak, but was stopped by Mrs. County.
"Then leave it alone."
As soon as the people left, the room was quiet again, and Qiu Yan wrung her handkerchief, very angry: "Madam, why should we be afraid of her." ”
"It's not that I'm afraid." Mrs. County shook her head, looking tired, "I just don't think it's necessary." ”
"You are the Lady of Hening County who is personally crowned by His Majesty, and there is a side concubine in the main courtyard, and they are also ......"
"You also said that it was the main courtyard, how about the county lady, what about Your Majesty's personal seal, concubines are concubines, they are not wrong, and these are never the things I care about."
The two of them seemed to suddenly realize that there was someone in the house, and Mrs. Jun hurriedly settled down and said to Ye Lan: "Let Ye Niangzi smile." ”
Ye Lan lowered her head and didn't dare to respond, she didn't see anything, she didn't hear anything.
She has only seen this kind of house fight drama in books and on TV, and it is best not to open her mouth for a small role like her.
was disturbed by the people on the side of the main courtyard, and Mrs. Jun seemed to be out of interest, and said directly: "Please invite Mrs. Ye to come today, in fact, there is something to discuss with Mrs. Ye, I want to order a batch of tea from you every month, no more, five catties is enough, the price is as you like." ”
Ye Lan was happy in her heart, she wouldn't open the door to the nobility, right?
Five catties is indeed not much, and it will not have any effect on her now, but it is just ...... She calmed down a little, and then hesitated a little, "Can I go back and think about it?" ”
Mrs. Xu didn't expect her to agree, and asked, "Is it doing business with the palace, do you have any concerns?" ”
"No, it's just because now my tea is only for the Zhou family's tea shop, although there is no rule that it cannot be sold to others, but I think I should still inform the shopkeeper Zhou."
"Ye Niangzi is really affectionate and righteous, then I will wait for Ye Niangzi's news in the house."
This county lady is really easy to talk to, Ye Lan has a good impression of her in her heart, and she is still afraid that the county lady will be angry.
Miss Qiuyan sent Ye Lan away, and out of the courtyard of Fangcai, not far away, a group of people surrounded a noble lady passing by, and Miss Qiuyan hurriedly pulled Ye Lan to hide aside.
"I almost hit the princess." Qiu Yan was a little afraid.
Ye Lan didn't dare to look more, and waited for the group in front of her to leave, and then continued to walk with Qiu Yan.
And what she didn't know was that after they left, the group turned back, and the noble lady in the middle stared at Ye Lan, as if she wanted to see her through.
