026 Linglan Dark Fragrance

Cheng Xueyan immediately remembered a beautiful woman embroidered with a string of lifelike flowers on her skirt. She also noticed that Bitong did not add the name "girl" or "sir" when she mentioned the name, just as Du Yingzi deliberately passed by when she introduced her.

"If you talk about female red, this Li Yan is the number one in the imperial capital, but..." Bitong blinked and whispered in her ear as if she was afraid of being heard: "Her origin is not good."

Cheng Xueyan showed suspicion.

Bitong is a person who can't hide her words. She doesn't have to be tortured, and she will consciously move automatically.

"She came from a brothel..."

This sentence made Cheng Xueyan completely understand.

"It's also a song. Although he sells his art and not his body, he was redeemed by the Marquis of Qi and became the fifth aunt in just one year. Unfortunately, she was blessed and became a widow in the second year. At that time, she was favored as soon as she entered the door. When the marquis died, how could other wives and concubines tolerate her? In the name of separation, she had no children to drive her out. She seemed to have expected this before, saved some private houses and set up a house outside. Guan Juguan is a royal female student who teaches piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this woman's fundamental female red is also indispensable. When recruiting Mr. Hong, she also participated in the election with many women. Sewing, embroidery, shoes and hats, knitting, cutting flowers... But because of her origin, the old lady has never decided on her. But it happened that the day of the examination was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the emperor was also a fun-loving person, so he asked the master to send the rice dumplings wrapped in the candidates to the palace to taste the concubines. As a result, it was said in the afternoon that the one who entered the palace as the 'nine-child dumplings' turned out to be her. I have to say that she is dexterous. A string of nine-child dumplings, big on the top and small on the bottom, with different shapes and exquisite ones. She made nine flavors ingeniously, such as sweet tea, honey dates, mung beans and eggs, taro, five bean brown, five-color brown, eight-treasure dumplings, fish-flavored lotus leaves, and hundred fruits. It was made of nine colors of silk thread, which is really beautiful. Jiuzi Zong was mostly used to give to relatives and friends, and this time she entered the palace, 'Zongzi'... 'Zhongzi' responded to the thoughts of those concubines who were eager to get children, so she became Mr. Nvhong..."

"How long is it from the Dragon Boat Festival?" Cheng Xueyan's stomach began to react.

Bitong also swallowed: "Girl, it's not summer yet."

Cheng Xueyan was a little sad.

"In fact, I just heard that Li Yan is not easy to give things away, and even the old lady has never received a gift from her. So I said that although her redness is good, if the girl asks her to do something, it's better to borrow some money. In fact, the second lady..."

"Let's go to Mr. Li's side..."

"Ah..." Bitong Petrochemical.

————————————————————————————

Li Yan set up a small house by herself, but in the west of the city, it is a little far from Guanju Hall. Except for returning home once a month with the girls, she usually lives in a small courtyard on the north side of Chengfu.

The courtyard with three ears is extremely quiet and elegant.

The courtyard is full of bell orchids, which is in full bloom, with white flowers hanging upside down like small bells, crystal glass-carved bells. The breeze blew and swayed gently, as if it was about to touch a song of broken bells, but it just shook down the intoxicating fragrance and gently in the courtyard.

is very similar to Li Yan, with a calm appearance, but it is always eye-catching and convincing at critical moments.

However, at this moment, Li Yan is not in the Yuling Building. She is in Fanting, a rest room specially set up for her husband outside the Guanji Hall. When she waits for Dai Zhen to finish the painting lecture, she can go to teach female red.

Bitong has been familiar with the arrangement of time and schoolwork for a long time, and also told Cheng Xueyan: "Girl, why don't you go to Fanting? Anyway, she will have to wait for a long time for her husband to come out. Mr. Dai is always talkative, and sometimes he squeezes out Li Yan's lecture time. If the girl is waiting here, I don't know when she will come back. Besides, today is the day for the girls to return home. Maybe she will leave directly from there..."

Cheng Xueyan hesitated for a moment and decided to stay in Yuling Pavilion.

She has her own ideas.

She doesn't know how Cheng Xueyan used to be. She and Li Yan have no intersection. This time, Fang roared to find others and didn't respect others. What's more, she is busy with business. If it is rude to disturb her own business, it is easy to cause disgust, and things will be more difficult to do. And sitting here, she took Chengmen Lixue's respectful and sincere attitude. Even if everything is difficult to approach, Li Yan will not find anything wrong with it. In this way, even if she can't ask for help, she will leave a good impression. Moreover, she feels very special about Li Yan and always feels that she is like a hidden master with a cold appearance. In fact, the heart is hot, but living in such an environment, exposing the heart is easy to be hurt. Many people are like this. In order to protect themselves, they put on layers of masks and just hope to wear them on their faces for a long time and not lose their true self.

The sun hung on the upturned eaves for a while, and finally rolled down on the pink wall, spreading the golden yarn diagonally all over the courtyard.

Bitong yawned again: "Girl, Li Yan should not come back. Let's go. Dinner time is coming."

"If you are tired, go back first. I'll wait a minute." Cheng Xueyan took two steps.

I stood outside all afternoon, and my whole body was a little hairy.

"I said that I would go directly to Guanjiguan to find her. She is not a senior figure, but she wants a girl to wait. Even if she had to wait, she went into the yard to sit down, but the girl had to stand outside. It's really..." Bitong was sleepy and tired.

"I have a private matter to ask her, and I should wait here. How can I delay her business? Besides, after all, this is someone's yard. It's rude of us to come here uninvited. How can we enter a private house more rudely without permission?

"What kind of private house? Didn't the Cheng family reward her? I said that you take her too seriously. She is just..."

"Bitong," Cheng Xueyan's face became serious: "You don't like Mother Tang. How can she commit the problem of worshipping high and trampling low now? Anyway, Mr. Li is the gentleman of Guan Juguan. Even if she is not, it is admirable that she can support herself by relying on her real ability..."

"Girl..."

Bitong blushed with shame and was about to say something, but only heard a soft voice.

"This jade bell tower is usually full of birds, but today there is a nobleman, and I don't know that it's really rude to wait for a long time..."

Cheng Xueyan turned around and saw Li Yan appearing behind her at some point, blessing herself.

Today, she is wearing a light purple shirt with a jade-colored light gauze half-sleeved coat. Her skirt is a five-color brocade gold embroidered dress on a green background, and the plain jade bell tower is bright because of her appearance.

"It is said that everything will not go to the Three Treasures Hall. The eldest girl must have something important to do on this visit, right?"

Li Yan got up without waiting for Cheng Xueyan to return the gift, with a beautiful face with just the right smile.

Since she is so straightforward, it is not convenient for Cheng Xueyan to make a detour, and this is not what she is good at.

She took out the pattern of the dress from her sleeve pocket: "Actually, I want to trouble Mr. Li to help me take a look at this dress..."

Li Yan took over and glanced at it and didn't notice that her eyes were bright: "The big girl is really clever. I can't figure out what this dress looks like in three years."

Cheng Xueyan's face was slightly hot: "I'm just good at painting, this time..."

Indeed, the design she designed in her previous life was always praised by the teacher. In practice, there was something wrong, and she didn't understand what was going on.

"Do you want me to help you make it?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows, and the crystal fringe on her head flashed a series of dazzling eyes.

The drum really doesn't need to be hammered, and the wise man doesn't need to dial it carefully.

"I know you are very busy. If this dress is very time-consuming and labor-consuming, it should have been sent outside to cut, but I..." Cheng Xueyan is not used to crying to others, but this is indeed a fact.

"I know," Li Yan readily interrupted her embarrassment: "You really can't send this clothes outside. If you look good, you will definitely make a lot of pieces to sell them at a good price. It won't be new if you wear them again on the beginning of summer..."

"How do you know my plan..."

Li Yan squeezed her lips and smiled: "Why do you have to ask knowingly?"

She folded the pattern and put it into the sleeve bag at will: "Since the girl doesn't dislike my craftsmanship, I will do it for the girl..."

"Ah..."

Cheng Xueyan and Bitong shouted in unison. They didn't expect Li Yan to agree so easily.

Li Yan smiled and said, "The girl will come and pick it up in three days. There are still ten days before the beginning of summer, and I am also looking forward to the girl's singing voice.

After saying that, he left with a slight salute.

On the way back, Bitong has been wondering: "How can it go so smoothly? Shouldn't she have any conspiracy?"

"Maybe it's because of the same disease."

Cheng Xueyan looked at the last starlight of the sunset and was slightly distracted.

————————————————————————————

With the venue, props and costumes, there is no soundtrack. You can't sing. Music plays a very important role in setting off the atmosphere.

Cheng Xueyan circled around the room several times: "Bitong, where is Miss Qin?"

"What did the girl do for Mr. Qin?"

"Isn't she teaching piano art? I think..."

"Does the girl want to ask her to play the accompaniment?"

Bitong is a smart girl.

"You can't let me sing, it's boring."

"The girl's idea is not wrong, just looking for her..." Bitong was embarrassed.

"What's wrong with her?"

"I can't say well," Bitong dared not say much with the lesson of Li Yan's incident. Moreover, it's really hard to say much about this Miss Qin: "But I'm afraid she can't invite Miss Qin."

"Bitong, can you not say it's not good as long as I mention someone?"

Even the most difficult to approach Li Yan was easily conquered, not to mention this Qin Gulan? Besides, she has a good impression on this woman who looks a little similar to herself. I met three relatives, but I just asked her to help accompany her. Why is it so difficult?

It was led by Bitong and marched to Weilan Pavilion with great ambition.
