Chapter 21 Reunion
At dinner, Qin Baochuan's face has returned to ruddy and is more active than usual. He even patted his chest and smiled. Next time he can hold on longer.
Liao's mother made her specialty noodle soup tonight. The warm hot soup dispelled the cold of winter. Compared with the peace and warmth in Qin Yunuan's yard, Caizhiyuan made a lot of noise.
"Oil, let's all go down." Dou Qing'e looked at the scattered bedding and embroidered pillow, drank a sentence to the maids outside the door, turned around and closed the door, looked at Qin Yun's makeup sitting angrily, sighed, and then said slowly, "Now I'm sensible. In the past, I used to smash some antique vases and Tang Sancai. Now I know that I feel sorry for money, all Throw some soft things."
When Qin Yun's makeup heard this, most of her anger suddenly subsided. She took Dou Qing'e's arm coquettishly and said softly, "Mother, why did you send Qin Yunuan's little hoof to pray for blessings? Although the custom of the temple fair is to let the younger generation of the family enter the temple to worship and pray for peace, Qin Yunuan is just a commoner's daughter. Isn't it too disgrate for you to send her there?
"What can do?" Dou Qing'e raised her eyebrows. "Now the younger generation in the family, your eldest brother is traveling far away. Do you still want to go out to see people like this? Originally, Qin Yuwan could consider it, but it turned out to be this. Baochuan and Baoduan are still small, and only Qin Yunuan is the most suitable.
"Mother," Qin Yunzhuang still complained, "Really, let her pick up a big cheap one for nothing."
"Well, do you think it will be cheap?"
How could Dou Qing'e not know Qin Yun's makeup's mind? The last flower festival banquet in the palace has attracted a lot of attention from Qin Yunuan. Recently, many people in the powerful circle talked about her. She also said that when Qin Yunuan was found frostbite by the queen at the banquet, she seemed to be testing whether she ignored and abused this. Concubine's daughter makes herself so embarrassed.
What's more, Qin Yunuan actually sent the nail she put next to Qin Yuwan. She had better be unintentional. No, her Dou Qing'e's tricks were more than that.
I also thought of Cui'e, the maid temporarily sent to monitor Qin Yunuan, to report that Qin Yunuan was exercising Qin Baochuan to take a cold shower this morning. If Qin Yunuan was a thorn stuck in her flesh, then Qin Baochuan was the needle that poked in her heart. If she didn't pull it out, she would be unhappy.
When Dou Qing'e saw that Qin Yunzhuang really cared about this matter, she thought about it for only half a month, and there was no need to hide it. She simply told her plan completely.
"Mother, seriously?" Qin Yun's makeup eyes flashed a light of expectation, blooming a different kind of enthusiasm. Mother, do you really have a way to drive Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan out of the Qin family?
"It's just a common girl. What's so difficult?" Dou Qing'e's tone was calm, and then touched Qin Yun's makeup's forehead dotingly, "You are my mother's heart. If you are likely to hinder people and things, my mother will remove it for you." Dou Qing'e showed a strong motherly love. She touched Qin Yun makeup's cheek sadly, "Now your task is to rest at home. Don't worry, even if your mother loses all the dowry, she will cure your face."
Lifting up her face, a trace of evil flashed in Qin Yun's makeup eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "From then on, Shangguan Yi and I are at peace."
Time flies. Since Qin Yuwan was punished, the lieutenant's mansion has been living in peace for a long time. Today is a sunny day. After a severe cold, the spring flowers in the corner of the courtyard have spit out the buds. Qin Yunuan got up early in the morning and saw the small and delicate flowers and delicate flowers in the wind, and was in a good mood.
"Three girls, the young master sent two grapefruits and put them in the room for you." Tong'er said happily to Qin Yunuan and lowered her voice, "I saw that it's better than giving it to the eldest girl or even your wife."
Qin Yunuan put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked up to see two smooth and shiny yellow grapefruit on the table. Two red ropes were carefully tied on the top for easy to hold.
For the past half month, Su Chenghai has sent some seasonal fruits or southern snacks to Qin Yunuan's yard every day. Of course, he will also send double copies to Qin Yun makeup and Dou Qing'e. Su Chenghai has always been very careful.
But...
"I found that the things sent by the young master these days are quite thoughtful," Man'er was supposed to help Qin Yu warm up the line. When she saw two bright and attractive grapefruits on the table, she also smiled, "Three girls, why do you think it's such a coincidence? Whether it's the tangerines the day before yesterday or yesterday's dragon beard cake, every time the young master sent it, It's what the three girls love to eat.
Qin Yunuan was about to knock on the forehead and said angrily, "Now that I don't care about you two, you are really bolder and bolder, and you dare to arrange me."
It's true that Qin Yunuan and Su Chenghai had a friendship when they were young, but with the passage of time, Qin Yunuan really can't figure out Su Chenghai's thoughts now. Sometimes, Su Chenghai makes Qin Yunuan feel extremely strange, such as his indifferent eyes and cold words, but sometimes he will be extremely considerate, such as the previous three The meeting gift, and the snacks and fruits of this half month.
"Three girls, it's time to go." Liao's mother came in to remind that today is the annual temple fair and the day when the descendants of famous families in Beijing go to Lingtai Temple to pray for blessings. So today, you should meet a lot of people, such as Fang Ziying and Shangguan Yi.
The exquisite car cover is covered with purple embroidered tassels, and the white Baojun pulling the car is in high spirits. Starting from Qingshui Lane, the surrounding scenery has changed from the prosperity of the market to a richer cypress pine tree. Wan'an Temple is about to arrive.
Man'er and Tong'er could only follow the carriage from afar, while an elderly maid named Green Liu, who was personally selected by Dou Qing'e, followed the carriage. Along the way, she repeatedly reminded the young masters how to speak, how to salute, and what the fasting rules in the temple were.
It sounds like a green willow is an experienced maid, but after all, Qin Yunuan has always been careful about the person sent by Dou Qing'e.
"Three girls, here we are." The carriage stopped outside the temple gate, and the green willow just bowed slightly and did not mean to lift the curtain for Qin Yunuan. Her green willow is the person around the old lady, and no one deserves to serve her.
Qin Yunuan didn't care. She opened the curtain with a smile, and her elegant lotus-colored skirt slightly swept the floor. The pale green flowers on her body complemented the wet moss on the steps, making her more beautiful and more beautiful, like a jade sculpture that had just been carved, clear, elegant but with a hint of pure jade. Primitive and natural enlightenment.
The little Shami, the doorkeeper, came to welcome him, "Lord, several other female benefactors have been waiting in the Dongbei Hall."
"Please ask the little master to lead the way." Qin Yunuan nodded and gave people an infinite favor with a smile.
Suddenly, a frivolous male voice came from behind him, "It's fate to meet thousands of miles away. From afar, the three girls of the Qin family are really beautiful and refined. It's really fate to have the opportunity to see the three girls of the Qin family here."
Such explicit and romantic words, needless to say, it must be the immoral legitimate son of the Shangguan family - Shangguan gave in. In his previous life, Qin Yunuan occasionally saw this Shangguan son several times, but it was a pity that this Shangguan prince's vision was extremely high. If it hadn't been for the flower leader in Beijing or a famous noble girl, he wouldn't even look at him, but today he praised himself so much, which is really strange.
Qin Yu warmly turned around and saw Shangguan Rang walking towards him. This man's heavenly court was full, starry eyes and teeth, and he gave birth to a more romantic face, and a mouth that could speak well and please women. No wonder that many young ladies in Beijing would fly to the fire and fall infatuated, like Qin Yuwan There are many beautiful people who have been deceived into paying by mistake.
"Yu Nuan has met Mr. Shangguan." The light words and unhurried attitude made Shangguanyi suddenly feel a little fresh. Usually, he was used to those enchanting and affectionate women and self-contained noble ladies. Such a porridge dish aroused his interest.
"Oh? Do you know my son's name? Shangguan Rang was a little excited and happy.
Qin Yunuan smiled imperceptiblely and only signaled the distance with her eyes, "The prince came out of that carriage with the logo of the Shangguan government on it. Moreover, who can afford such a gorgeous and exquisite carriage except for the eldest young master of the Shangguan government who throws a lot of money?"
Shangguan didn't understand Qin Yunuan's sarcasm at all. He just felt that she was flattering herself and became more and more proud. "This is natural. I am extremely particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Take the silk I'm going to give to my little sister today as an example. As long as my little sister likes it, how about throwing a lot of money? Wanjin, Wanjin, I won't blink my eyes.
Sky silk? Qin Yunuan raised his eyebrows, and the servant behind Shangguan Rang really held a long brocade box, and the golden carved flowers in the shape of auspicious clouds were shining brightly. Presumably this was the heavenly silk that Shangguan Rang was going to give to Shangguan Yi.
"Miss Qin, you don't know how high the price of silk in the capital is now," Shangguan continued to boast. "In the past, only Eastern Qin had silk production. Later, the two countries fought and trade was interrupted. Now only two families can get the goods from Eastern Qin." Shangguan asked to wink at Qin Yunuan, trying to arouse Qin Yunuan's interest.
Unfortunately, Qin Yunuan has already figured it out in her heart. Now it is General Menghua and cold-faced General Leng Changxi who manage the affairs of Eastern Qin. There is no doubt that these two can easily get the goods of Dongqin.
The eyes of pleasing ** were repeatedly cast, but the little girl was unmoved, and Shangguan was a little frustrated.
When he reached the door of the palace, Qin Yunuan finally asked faintly, "Where's Sister Shangguan? Why don't you see her with Mr. Shangguan? She was not worried about Shangguanyi's where to go, but heard that Shangguanyi and Shangguan made the brothers and sisters deeply affectionate and did not appear together, which was always a little fanciful.
Shangren stretched out without hesitation and pinched his chin, which seemed to be a little thin because of excessive indulgence. "Today, a nobleman came, and the little sister was ordered by her father to accompany her."
What kind of nobleman actually made Yijie Zuoxiang so attentive, and also let Shangguan use the word "accompanying waiter"?
"Does Miss Qin want to know who this nobleman is?" Shangguan wanted to provoke Qin Yunuan's curiosity again.
Qin Yunuan turned his head and didn't say anything. His eyes glanced lightly at Shangguan's slightly happy face. He slowly turned his head and only said quietly at the door of the palace, "If I go in, I will know who it is."
What an ignorant girl, Shangguan Rang touched her nose, but on the contrary, the more estranged the woman she was, the more interested she could arouse him. He quickly greeted her. Before he opened her mouth, there was a sound of tea cup cracking in the room.
"Ceng Changxi, I'm kind to bring you tea. Don't toast without eating punishment." An extremely angry female voice came out of the Dongbei Hall. Her voice was sharp and trembling slightly. Qin Yunuan suddenly heard it. This was Shangguan Yi's voice.
"It's not good," Shangguan was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "The little sister is impatient. If she offends the noble, don't do anything bad." After saying that, he rushed straight in.
Qin Yu raised her neck. She didn't expect that they would meet again so soon.
