Chapter 59: Lan Wanru Steals the Right to Plan the Birthday Banquet
She hid the coldness and exhaustion in her eyes, stepped over the dried blood at the door and walked into the shop.
Before she could sit down, the shop assistants surrounded her. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one dared to say a word first.
Only Huang Yuee walked up to her with a troubled expression, pointed to the compartment upstairs carefully, and said to her: "Gu Rong came early in the morning after hearing the news. Now she is sitting inside waiting for you. Her face doesn't look good.
So good..."
Lan Yunyi twitched her lips, and she naturally understood why Gu Rong was here.
She sighed softly, slowly stood up from the chair, and raised her head slightly in the direction of Li Erniu: "Erniu, go and clean up the dog blood at the door first. Don't worry about other people's eyes."
After she finished speaking, she walked alone into the cubicle where Gu Rong was.
Gu Rong was waiting for her in the cubicle. She couldn't help but stir up the handkerchief with her hands. She didn't even move the desserts on the table. She looked very distressed.
As soon as she heard the noise coming from the door, she quickly stood up from the stool: "Sister Yunyi..."
Her eyes flickered a little, her expression was a little flustered, and her eyes were red like a poor little rabbit.
"It's okay, Ronger, I know everything. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Lan Yunyi rubbed her little head and smiled at her.
Since the last time they agreed to let Lan Yunyi host a birthday banquet for the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Rong has been coming to Zhiwei Pavilion to see her every day, and their relationship has also grown by leaps and bounds.
Just because of this, Gu Rong felt more and more guilty at the moment.
"Are you...how are you today?" Gu Rong looked at her pale face and hesitated in her words when she thought of her purpose of coming.
"Everything is fine," Lan Yunyi nodded, "You don't have to worry about me. Just tell me what your grandmother said."
"Grandma originally made a good promise. She said that as long as your performance satisfies her after meeting you, she would ask her to plan this birthday banquet for her and introduce you to Concubine Zhen. But today it was unexpectedly reported that
If those rumors come out, my grandmother will immediately disapprove of your coming to the house..."
Gu Rong sighed and lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into Lan Yunyi's eyes.
"Not only that, Lan Wanru also visited my grandmother today, holding the post from the Imperial Master... My grandmother met her..." She gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.
"You mean, Lan Wanru met your grandmother today and is very likely to get the right to plan this birthday banquet?" Lan Yunyi asked following her words.
The cubicle fell into an eerie silence.
The noisy sound of gongs and drums from Wufangzhai opposite, lingered in my ears, becoming increasingly clear.
It was in sharp contrast to the desertedness of Zhiwei Pavilion at this time.
Lan Wanru's voice calling the waiters in the shop reached my ears, mixed with Princess Lingshu's laughter. Everything was like a sharp knife piercing the hearts of the two of them.
Lan Yunyi sneered in her heart, as long as it belonged to her, Lan Wanru would snatch anything and want everything.
When I was young, it was candied fruits, desserts, and my brother’s total love.
When she gave up on her brother and her so-called home, she gave them all to Lan Wanru.
But she wasn't satisfied yet.
Not only did he buy her secret recipe and spread these rumors, he even wanted to take away the right to plan the birthday banquet of the Duke's mansion.
She wanted to connect with Concubine Zhen just to find out the truth about her previous life, but what about Lan Wanru? She already had the protection of Lan Mansion and the recognition of Princess Zhaoyang, so this avenue was of no use to her.
use.
But she still wants to rob, and even wants to destroy what she can't get...
The hand she placed on her thigh slowly clenched into a fist.
"Almost... but my grandmother hasn't fully agreed to her yet! After she left, I immediately went to ask my grandmother, and my grandmother promised me that I would decide whether to adopt her after seeing her performance."
"Sister Yunyi, we still have a chance!"
Gu Rong reached out her hand eagerly, and her warm little hand covered Lan Yunyi's cold wrist.
"Thank you, Ronger." Lan Yunyi looked up at her, her watery eyes filled with sincere gratitude.
"Sister Yunyi, I believe you! Grandma's birthday banquet needs to be planned one and a half months in advance. We still have five days. As long as you can convince grandma within these five days, you can still get the planning rights!"
Gu Rong nodded towards her with firm eyes.
"Okay." Lan Yunyi held her hand and smiled at her.
Even if the five days were too tight, even if there was no hope, she would still try her best.
————————————
After sending Gu Rong away, she appeased the shop assistants and gave them a few days off.
Seeing Lan Yunyi's tired appearance, everyone did not dare to disturb her too much, and they all left in a hurry.
Lan Yunyi was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while. When she opened her eyes, what she saw was Huang Yuee's enlarged face.
"!"
Lan Yunyi was shocked by her.
"Gu Rong came just now, what did she say? Can we still hold the birthday banquet at the Duke's Mansion?" Huang Yuee asked eagerly.
Lan Yunyi shook her head and expressed her worries.
"Lan Wanru took Lan Bojian's post and went to the Duke's residence in person today. It's only five days before I start planning the birthday banquet. Even if I settle everything in front of me within five days, I don't know if I have ever been like this.
Will the old lady mind about my reputation?"
"Sister, our current situation is that we have been framed by someone. We see that the two people opposite us...that is, those pampered dignitaries are stupid enough to believe their lies."
Lan Yunyi smiled mockingly, thinking of her life experience without a father or mother, she was still a little disappointed, she said lightly: "But the nursery rhyme she made up is all true, and they don't know anything about Lan Mansion."
If you only have a partial understanding of it, you would naturally rather believe that it exists."
"Tsk, why don't you say it's Lan Wanru who conquers her father and her mother? I heard that she will invite Princess Zhaoyang to the shop for dinner tomorrow. Princess Zhaoyang is the Queen Mother's own daughter! She also wants to get close to Concubine Zhen,
I want to please the Queen Mother again, I am so proud!"
Huang Yuee curled her lips and looked down upon her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Have you figured out how to settle this matter? You must deal with her well and let her know who she shouldn't mess with!" Huang Yue'e raised her eyebrows and said fiercely.
Lan Yunyi thought for a while and then spoke calmly.
"First, let Feng Xiao find those children who sing nursery rhymes. Give them one tael of silver each and let them continue singing. Remember to conceal your identity. If possible, it is best to teach young masters and ladies under the age of three from officials to do the same.
They started singing, and the louder the noise, the better; secondly, you tell Erniu to buy some red candles for tonight. Thirdly, I will find my uncle, doesn’t he know how to make a lot of things? He is the one who often chants
Kebabs, hot pot, snail noodles... I think it can come in handy."
