Chapter 2: The Wedding Reception

On the day Ye Tinglan was taken to Jiang's mansion, she was wearing a plain gown and standing quietly in front of the hall with her head down. Jiang's mother smiled and introduced the characters in the house to Ye Tinglan one by one, and when Jiang Zhiruo was introduced, she got up and took Ye Tinglan's hand, smiled lightly at her mother, and said that she would treat this distant sister well.

Qiong also looked at Ye Tinglan through Jiang Zhiruo's perspective, she is a delicate and slender woman, who looks a little pretty, but is far less bright and generous than Jiang Zhiruo.

The picture in front of her emerged day by day, Jiang Zhiruo was pure and generous, and she was indeed as good to Ye Tinglan as she said, and came to her room from time to time to greet and chat, not only often sent food, but also personally embroidered a handkerchief sachet for her. Qiong could also see that at first, Jiang Zhi really wanted to make this friend, but she didn't notice the coldness hidden in Ye Tinglan's eyes.

As Ye Tinglan stayed in Jiang's mansion for longer, the Jiang family's parents treated her better, so good that she faintly surpassed Jiang Zhiruo's biological daughter.

Every time I went back to the house and bought a new rare object, it was obvious that Jiang Zhiruo chose it first, but Ye Tinglan softly asked the Jiang family's parents for it. If Jiang Zhi knows how to be humble, she will give it to her once or twice, and when she returns to this, she can't help but have a lot of complaints in her heart, and she is unwilling to let it go again, but she was taught a lesson by her parents: Isn't it just some pearl hairpins? My sister likes it, you have to let her as a sister!

Qiong Yi felt a little sour in her heart, she knew that this was what Jiang Zhiruo felt at that time.

Only Jiang Conglan was upset for her sister, but she didn't say anything herself.

Suddenly, one day, Ye Tinglan said that her favorite golden hairpin was missing, and it was a gift from Jiang's father, and it was very expensive. The subordinates hurriedly searched in the house and found Jiang Zhiruo's house, Jiang Zhiruo thought that it was just Sister Ye who was anxious, she had never touched the golden hairpin, and she had a clear conscience, so she went to search the house with her.

As a result, Jin Hai was actually found in her room!

Father Jiang looked at his daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, and scolded angrily, if you like it, you can let me buy it for you, why do you want to be a thief and steal my sister's things?!

Jiang Zhi wanted to defend herself, but Ye Tinglan said softly, this is just a hairpin, I knew that my sister liked it, so I gave it to my sister.

It's obviously a false accusation. Qiong Yi looked at it coldly: This Ye Tinglan is still acting.

Without waiting for Jiang Zhiruo to speak, Jiang Conglan on the side shouted loudly: How do you know that my sister stole it? Maybe you recognized the wrong hairpin, maybe it was taken by someone, maybe you secretly put it in! Don't spew blood in this mouth!

He scolded heartily, and Joan was also a lot more happy.

Ye Tinglan was aggrieved and cried, Jiang Conglan tried his best to protect his sister, but was finally determined by Jiang's father to be wrong, and the golden hairpin was returned to Ye Tinglan's hands, and the matter was hastily concluded.

Jiang Zhiruo has always been bad at causing trouble, but she didn't expect that this incident was just the beginning.

Later, one day, the waitress who accompanied Jiang Zhiruo who grew up accidentally splashed sewage on Ye Tinglan's skirt, and Ye Tinglan was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her hand. Hearing the news, it was not only Jiang Zhiruo who rushed to come, but also the son of the Li family who made an appointment with her to marry, as well as several cousins and sisters.

Seeing this, Ye Tinglan went straight to her lungs to inhale the cold air, coughed constantly, said that the maid was disrespectful to her, and deliberately splashed her with water, and then glanced at Jiang Zhiruo up and down, and said: I have always been weak, and my sister hates my sister, but I won't use this method to make me angry, right?

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and repeatedly defended herself, Ye Tinglan's two maids insisted that she was lying, just deliberately pouring cold water on the winter day, wanting to make their young lady sick!

Jiang Zhiruo explained that it was impossible for her maid to do such a thing, but her cousin, who had always treated her well, didn't listen to her at all, looked at Ye Tinglan with a worried face, and said, this maid made a big mistake because of the hatred of the protector, and she wanted to beat the board and pull it out for sale.

Jiang Zhiruo explained again and again, and pleaded again and again, hoping that the son of the Li family could stand on her side and say some good things for her maid, but who knew that Li Gongzi asked her to stop messing around, Sister Ye's weak body is obvious to everyone, and you should be more worried about her safety.

Jiang Zhiruo's heart was cold and incomprehensible, but she desperately protected her maid.

The next day, Ye Tinglan had a fever, Jiang's father didn't fight when he heard the words, and called the maid to punish her, Jiang Zhiruo wanted to protect her, but she was locked in the house, and watched the maid who had been with her for so many years being beaten and sold.

After that, troublesome things were pasted on her one after another: because she went out to enjoy the flowers and said a few more words to other sons, there were rumors that she was unchaste and ashamed of the Li family's marriage contract, and was severely punished by her father at home, and Jiang's mother dissuaded her, and finally punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a day; When the roof tiles fell while walking in the courtyard, Ye Tinglan pushed her away from nowhere, pushed her into the rose bush face to face, and almost broke the appearance, her parents felt sorry for Ye Tinglan, who was rubbed by the tiles because they saved her, and scolded her with thorns......; When he went to the city to rally, his dress was torn in the streets, and everyone ridiculed him, becoming a laughing stock all over the city...... And so on and so forth.

Qiong also grew up from the Daomen clan, and she has heard a lot of such evil and dirty, blunt knife grinding methods, but she has never experienced it personally, and Jiang Zhiruo has experienced these things with her psychic, and she unconsciously has anger in her chest.

Later, the son of the Li family knew that Jiang Zhiruo's treacherous rumors were false, but he still hooked up with Ye Tinglan under the guise of this. Jiang Zhiruo was overwhelmed with grief because of this, suffered from a severe cold, fell into the root of the disease, and her health was not getting better day by day.

Qiong also had some guesses in her heart, afraid that Ye Tinglan had done something to make a trick.

Later, Ye Tinglan almost justifiably became the eldest lady of the Jiang Mansion, not only succeeded to the Jiang family, but also changed her surname, and was also loved by Jiang's parents, and the real eldest lady stayed on the sickbed every day, looking at the roof beams, her heart was like ashes.

Until she was seriously ill and died, up and down the house, only Jiang Conglan took care of her and felt sorry for her.

Jiang Zhiruo died of illness a few days ago, late at night in early summer.

The fireflies outside the window flickered, the light was faint, and she wanted to get up to watch the fireflies, but she had no strength at all, and her breathing became weaker.

The night is clear......

The West Wind Gives Birth to Green Rose......

Remnant Firefly Perched on Gyokuro ......

What can I do now......

If...... When I'm well, go to the yard and see the fireflies......

Then slowly close his eyes and leave the world forever.

Joan's body trembled, and the psychic ended, like waking up from a dream.

She experienced what happened to Jiang Zhiruo, she was really too aggrieved.

Retracting the soul of the Dharma Protector and looking at Jiang Zhiruo with a haggard face in front of her, Qiong no longer shirked, and responded in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang, I promise you." ”

*

Turning back from his thoughts, he turned to the front of him, the eaves of Jiang's Mansion were hung with fiery red lanterns, and the word "happiness" was posted, and even the two stone lions guarding the door were wearing red hydrangeas, and the battle was festive and grand.

Today is the seventh day of Jiang Zhiruo's death, and it is also the day of great joy for Jiang and Li's second mansion to get married.

Qiong also followed the people to the banquet into Jiang's mansion, looked around, and said in her heart: "The merchant's house, the Zhumen embroidery household, the house is not small. ”

Seeing that the little guy in front of her raised her hand to ask for instructions, asking for a gift, she took out the usual money from her long sleeves and threw it into his hand, and walked in without looking back, and said in her heart: Du Ling's broken gong errand not only can't earn silver, but also often sticks it upside down.

Jiang Zhiruo, who was staying in Qiong Yi's waist, moved, and said in a voice that ordinary people couldn't hear: "Miss Qiong Yi, today is the seventh day of my death, and it won't be long before I will disappear completely, right?" ”

"There's Na Ling to protect you, no."

Jiang Zhiruo calmed down: "Hmm." ”

The food and banquet in the garden are fully furnished, the high-ranking friends are full, talking to each other, and no one cares about Qiong Yi, who is walking alone to the inner courtyard. Bypassing a few side rooms and entering the courtyard, there are many people in the courtyard, all of whom are relatives and friends of the Jiang family, Ba Wang waited for the bride to wear good clothes, and welcomed her out of the Jiang Mansion after bringing the phoenix crown and Xia Shawl, and sent her to the sedan chair sent by the Li family.

Qiong also wanted to walk into the house, but was stopped by the maid on one side: "This young lady is not in a hurry, the bride has not finished wearing red makeup." She looked at Qiong Yi and felt that the person in front of her was very bright, not like a face she had ever seen: "Which girl are you?" Coming in so recklessly, it would not be good if I missed the time when my young lady got married. ”

The few women waiting outside the house should be relatives of the Jiang Mansion, and when they saw the strange Qiong Yi, they chattered one after another:

"Which lady in the city is this?"

"I've never seen it."

"The appearance is so white and clean, but it is beautiful."

"It should be to come to eat and drink, the garden is big, and I got lost......"

Their voices were very low, but Joan was also very human, she could hear it clearly, she smiled lightly, and after these people finished talking, she met her eyes, and bowed her head slightly, "Hello, madam." Joan also said that she was in good shape, and her etiquette was not inferior to that of everyone's ladies, and she made the ladies in front of her believe that this girl was a distinguished guest from a famous family.

"I came with my brother in the family, and I heard that Miss Jiang was as beautiful as a flower, so I thought that if I was lucky, maybe I would be able to catch the bride out and take a look."

When Joan said this, a bell rang, but it was faint, and soon disappeared into the joyful sound of the front yard.

The lady standing at the front shook the fan lightly and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate, my girl is still putting on makeup, and I'm afraid it will take a stick of incense to come out at the earliest." ”

Qiong Yi smiled, and changed the topic: "In this way, my brother is friends with Jiang Xiaogongzi in the house, and my brother didn't see him in the front guest room, and I want to ask someone to ask him where he went." ”

"Ouch. That's right, where did the kid go? Mrs. suddenly thought of Jiang Conglan, who had not been seen for a long time, "I left the house early the day before yesterday and didn't know where to go, I didn't even see a shadow of my work yesterday, this kid ......" she read in her mouth, and turned her head to look at Qiong Yishi, but turned into a smiling face: "I guess, his sister is from Lan to get married, he is reluctant, so he secretly hid, this child has always been an unrestrained character, comfortable." ”

Qiong Yi smiled and nodded with her, "That lady, I don't want to bother more, go to the front yard and sit down." ”

"Well, let's go."
