Chapter 273 Lanyuan
After listening to Mo Lan's words, the imperial concubine immediately opened her eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"
She looked at the shy Molan and beat a drum in her heart. Did this girl like Daer? This won't work! Darer is the flesh of his heart. He is the pillar of the Hou family. In the future, he will be the son of the world and the marquis. How can he let him marry a girl from the countryside?
"Lan'er should not be rude. In the future, madam, how can you talk nonsense that women have the most fame? If this spreads, how can you be a human being? Wang scolded her granddaughter with a straight face. She knew that her granddaughter was deliberately angry with the prince and concubine. So although she was reprimanding, she smiled in her eyes.
"Yes. Lan Lan is wrong. Lan Lan apologizes and hopes that the concubine will atone for her sins. Mo Lan listened to her grandmother's scolding and aggrievedly came forward to apologize to the imperial concubine Huang.
The imperial concubine snorted, raised her head, and ignored Molan. Mo Lan stepped back a few steps and stood beside Wang's family. She no longer looked up and lowered her eyes as if she couldn't see other people's eyes.
The old marquis looked at Molan with a smile in his eyes and said to himself: This girl is really good at pretending. She has no intention of Mingda at all, but when she behaved like this, everyone in the house thought that she was thinking about Mingda and would guard against her and prevent her from appearing more. I don't take her to see more people. I'm afraid that this is the girl's purpose. I don't want to get too involved with the people in the house.
Wang Mingda glanced at his mother and shook his head helplessly. Although her mother is the concubine of the world and the wife of the third grade, she is not from a high background. She was married by her father in the bitter cold place in Dandong. Without a good education and a cruel struggle in a big house, her mother is not a very calculating person. After becoming a concubine, she feels more respected. Everyone has to respect her, and no one can see her. She has talked about Molan.
The people in the hall were thinking about their own time, and a maid came to report that the huā hall had already set up the meal. Ask if it's seated now.
The old marquis ordered the banquet to be held. Because it was a family banquet, the men did not go to the outer courtyard, but separated the two compartments with a screen, and the man sat in the outer compartment. The woman sat in the inner compartment.
The brother of the Xue family was also invited by the man. The old marquis asked them to sit next to him to show his importance and love for them.
Mrs. Hou sat in the first place of the female family. She sat next to the second lady, next to the second lady was the imperial concubine, and on the right hand side of Mrs. Hou sat on the Wang. The rest of the grandmothers and the Hou family also let them sit, and did not let them set rules and serve her with food.
Molan's table has two young grandmothers Pei and several other sisters. The third sister and the sixth sister have their identity and hardly talk to Molan. The rest also look at their faces, and only occasionally say a word or two to Molan. On the contrary, Pei was very enthusiastic. He kept picking up vegetables for Molan and persuading her to eat. Molan smiled at her in a friendly way.
Molan didn't care about the attitude of several sisters. Houfu, she is just here to be a guest for a few days. She doesn't belong here. Why do you care about how others treat her? As long as others don't embarrass her, she secretly smiles.
Molan enjoyed it while eating. Several sisters have their own characteristics, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, each with their own **. Some dress up gorgeously, some elegantly, some look arrogant, some docile, different.
Molan was originally a good color, but now compared with these sisters, she is not outstanding there. What's more, Molan's dress is far from that of these young ladies. So among these young ladies, she is not very conspicuous and looks shabby.
During this period, Mo Lan found that several sisters looked at the man through the screen. The location was Xue brothers, but she didn't know whether they were looking at Xue Lingfeng or Xue Lingyun. Do they actually like Er Xue?
After dinner, the marquis led the men to the huā hall in the front yard for tea. Mrs. Hou took Wang and others to the huā hall of the inner courtyard. Everyone sat down to have tea and chat.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Hou saw that Wang's physical strength was a little weak, and she ordered the fourth grandmother, Jiang, to lead Wang to the yard arranged for them. Let Wang have a good rest, and send someone to invite her to dinner at dinner.
Wang got up and saluted, and Mo Lan also saluted. She noticed the time when Mrs. Hou ordered the fourth grandmother. The imperial concubine curled her lips slightly. Isn't it possible that the person in the Hou family who helped Mrs. Hou's affairs was not the imperial concubine? Is it the fourth grandma? Molan thought to herself.
Molan followed Wang and the fourth grandmother through the Jiuqu cloister. Molan saw that there were strange grass on both sides of the cloister, which smelled fragrant. At the end of the cloister was the hanging door, guarded by two twelve or thirteen-year-olds, and then there was an open and quiet courtyard.
Molan smiled, and there is a quiet artistic conception here. She felt comfortable and happy. She likes quiet, so she is very satisfied with the environment here.
At the door of the courtyard, Molan looked at it. There were two very elegant words engraved on the door. Molan recognized it. It was: "Lanyuan".
Looking at the name, Molan smiled. The yard was obviously specially cleaned up for grandma. Mrs. Hou is kind-hearted.
Entering the entrance of the yard, before Molan could look at it, she saw a group of people waiting at the door and knelt down. He said in unison, "Give greetings to my aunt. My aunt has worked hard all the way.
Molan looked at two big maids, four little maids, and four thick maids. Six women, two of whom are well dressed.
When Wang shouted, the fourth grandmother smiled and introduced the well-dressed old woman who led the Wang family: "Auntie, this is the stodian's mother of this yard. We all call her Yu's mother."
As soon as Mrs. Yu heard the introduction of the fourth grandmother, she hurried over to salute and smiled, "I have met my aunt. The fourth grandma flattered the old slave too much, and the old aunt just called me Mrs. Yu. The fourth grandmother is too flattering for the old slave. Mom can't afford to be an old slave.
Molan looked at her, dressed well, with a white face and a smile on her face. She should be spoiled, but the smile is not very sincere.
Wang nodded. Molan shouted with a smile, "Hin, Yu's mother."
"Miss Lan praised the old slave, and the old slave saluted Miss Lan. Miss Lan is really good at coming out. Mrs. Yu hurriedly saluted Molan and said something on the table.
Wang asked Molan to give a little scattered silver and go into the yard to meet the servants, which is an indispensable rule. After all, you have to be served by others during this period, and you can't use people for nothing.
Mrs. Yu thanked her and stood next to her with a smile on her face.
The fourth grandmother Jiang introduced two big girls: "My aunt also saw these two big girls, and they will serve my aunt in the future. The red dress is autumn red. The autumn blue of the blue clothes.
As soon as Jiang said this, he suddenly said, "Qiu Lan, your name is a taboo. From now on, you change your name to Qiu Zi. I'll tell the house." The second grandmother changed the name of Qiu Lan. Although it was a homophone with different words, it didn't work.
After Jiang changed her name, she said to her heart: Qiu Lan is the maid at the second aunt's place. This time, the second aunt sent a second-class maid to be a big maid in this yard, which has already occupied the quota of a big maid. I don't know that the name of the girl she sent is taboo, really. If my mother-in-law can't have such a thing, only my second aunt doesn't talk about it.
Qiu Lan, now she should be a maid named Qiu Zi. She nodded and answered the new name and saluted Wang Shi and Mo Lan, but an in her eyes flashed with in her eyes. Her name was given by her second wife, and she also likes to wear blue clothes. Why did she have a poor relative today? She not only serve her, but also Her heart was full of unwillingness.
The maids behind, the fourth grandmother Jiang also said briefly, and then they will serve the living of Wang and Molan. We have to let them all meet.
After seeing it all, Qiu Hong was a big maid, so she stepped forward to help Wang, and everyone looked at the courtyard.
Molan also looked up. The yard was staggered, sunny, and there were many strange grasses. The scenery was excellent. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to repair the yard. What's more rare is that a lot of orchids are planted in the huā hut. There are many varieties, very well taken care of, and growing luxuriantly, and many Molan have never seen before.
Wang stopped in front of Lanhuāpu and looked at all kinds of Lanhuā seedlings, and her eyes were filled with tears again.
"Don't blame your aunt. The time is a little short, so the yard has been simply repaired. My father's mother's aunt likes Lanhuā. These are all sent by my father and uncle. I hope my aunt likes it. The fourth grandmother said to Wang next to her.
"It's great. I like it very much. It bothers my brother and sister-in-law and makes you tired." Wang looked at Lanhuā, wiped his tears, and felt warm in his heart. Brother and sister-in-law still remember that they like Lanhuā. Lanhuā is not expensive, which is rare. Besides, these Lanhuā are not in a year. There are so many. Obviously, they have been planted for many years. My brother and sister-in-law have been thinking about themselves. She received the favor.
"These are nothing. It's good that my aunt can live comfortably. There are also two pots of Phalaenopsis in the house, which are tributes and given by the emperor. My father has always regarded it as a treasure, and no one is allowed to touch it, but my father also ordered someone to move in the day before yesterday. My father's feelings for my aunt are really worth learning from us juniors. After saying that, the second grandmother helped Wang into the house to have a look.
When Wang Shi heard this, he was very moved. Tears fascinated his eyes again and said, "Brother treats me so well."
Entering the room, Molan looked at the furnishings in the room. She frowned slightly. Although she was not an insider, she also understood that the furnishings in the room were not only exquisite and simple, but also luxurious. There were all kinds of decorations on the shelves of Duobao Pavilion. Molan took a closer look, and everything was high-quality. It is estimated that everything is worth a lot of money.
Molan only thinks it's good, but he doesn't understand the value of these things in ancient times. But Wang understood that she stroked things one by one, but Molan understood the light in her eyes. It seemed that she was not wrong. Everything was good.
Looking at Wang Shi crying at the two basins on the table in front of her. Molan was a little uneasy. Even if the marquis had a deep affection for her grandmother, it was impossible for Mrs. Hou to have such feelings for her grandmother. ( To be continued
