There are quite a few guest rooms in Huancui Pavilion, but they are basically empty all year round and have never had any guests.
The reason is very simple, because Ye Qingning doesn't like living with others. Even if guests come to the house, they will not arrange to live in Huancui Pavilion. Unexpectedly, two of them came as soon as they arrived.
Zhixia ordered a few maids to clean up the guest room, and gave special instructions: "You guys, remember, the room farther away is reserved for Miss Jiang. The guest room close to Miss Jiang's room is reserved for Miss Ten to carry luggage.
Please don’t forget the time.”
After the maids agreed obediently, they started to clean up.
On this side, Ruixue is also telling Guiyuan and the others: "Stay quiet and don't pack too much. You will be back in a few days at most." Since Miss Jiang is here as a guest, she shouldn't stay for too long. Once Miss Jiang leaves,
My young lady will be able to return to Hefengyuan soon.
Several maids agreed together. Among them, Ying'er looked the most cheerful. She was the maid next to Ye Qingning and had stayed in Huancui Pavilion for two full years. She was very familiar with Huancui Pavilion, so she went to Huancui Pavilion.
It was like a fish in water for her.
The maids had to do all these trivial matters, so Ye Qinglan had nothing to do. After the luggage was packed, Ye Qinglan led several maids to Huancui Pavilion.
As soon as she entered Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qinglan noticed something was wrong.
Ye Qingning frowned, her pretty face sank slightly. Zhixia stood aside aggrievedly, with watery eyes. On the other side, there was Jiang Ying with a smile on her face. Behind Jiang Ying stood several maids, and a
Zhang’s familiar face is none other than Mother Lu beside Jiang.
This Mother Lu was Jiang's dowry maid back then. She has been Jiang's confidant for so many years. Even Li and others were polite to her when they met her.
What's going on with this formation in front of you?
Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning was obviously in a bad mood and had no reaction.
Jiang Ying smiled politely at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan never refused to be rude to others and responded with a more polite smile. She was still thinking secretly in her heart. What on earth happened to make Ye Qingning so unhappy?
Mother Lu coughed to break the silence: "Miss Sixth, I was ordered to send Miss Biao here. She has been sent here. I will return to Chang Hetang soon..."
"Mama Lu, please wait a moment," Ye Qingning said with a half-smile, "The maid next to me treated Cousin Ying too slowly. It's because I, the master, didn't teach her well. If grandma asks, just say that I will go and apologize."
Zhixia glanced at Ye Qingning with both gratitude and shame. Although Ye Qingning, the master, had a volatile temper and was not easy to serve, he was the most protective of his faults. No matter what mistakes the maids around him made, they would protect them with all their strength.
With this in mind, she would never complain no matter how many grievances she suffered...
Mother Lu naturally knew Ye Qingning's temper. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Ying had already rushed to say: "Cousin Ning, please don't say that. I just said it casually and had no other intention. In fact, it doesn't matter which guest room you stay in."
It doesn’t matter, I’ll just stay in the room in the back row.”
Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "This is absolutely impossible. If grandma finds out, she will definitely blame me for neglecting cousin Ying. It's better to invite cousin Ying to live in that spacious guest room.
"After a pause, he added a few words lightly: "If Cousin Ying is not used to living in the guest room, just stay in my room. I will live in the guest room with my tenth sister."
The last two light words were full of sarcasm. Even if Jiang Ying pretended to be stupid, it was impossible not to hear the strong ridicule, and the smile on her face suddenly became unbearable.
When Ye Qinglan heard this, she naturally understood what was going on.
Zhixia asked her maid to clean up the two guest rooms, and arranged Jiang Ying in the one in the back row, which seemed a little remote. The other spacious room was left to her. After Jiang Ying found out about this, she felt obviously unhappy.
Then he said a few words in front of Ye Qingning. Mother Lu took advantage of the opportunity to scold Zhixia. Zhixia was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Mother Lu and Jiang Ying were singing along like this. They were not talking about Zhi Xia. They were clearly causing trouble for Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning had never been so idle before. Finally, he couldn't help but ridiculed her.
Facts have proved that Ye Qingning's tongue is as sharp and mean as ever. Jiang Ying is no match for her, and her face turns red. No matter how senior she is, Mother Lu is just a servant after all. When she saw Ye Qingning getting angry, she wisely stopped talking.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
Ye Qinglan broke the silence with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, don't disturb grandma's peace for such a trivial matter. Cousin Ying, you can stay in that spacious guest room! I can live in the guest room in the back row."
Jiang Ying had no choice but to step down and thank her with a smile: "Thank you so much, Sister Ten."
Ye Qinglan winked at Zhixia. Zhixia hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeves and stepped forward to apologize to Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying pretended to be generous and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."
Mother Lu also smiled and chimed in a few words, and the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed a little.
Ye Qingning twitched the corners of his lips with a half-smile, but never spoke again.
In fact, with Ye Qingning's temper, it was pretty good that she could remain silent at this time. If it hadn't been for Jiang, she would never have let Jiang Ying go so easily.
After Mother Lu left, Jiang Ying also went to the guest room to settle down. Only Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were left in the room.
Ye Qingning's pretty face was sullen, her eyes were cold, and she sneered: "If I didn't look at my grandmother's face, I would never let her have an easy time today. She is just a concubine in the Jiang family, and she really takes herself seriously.
Now." Normally, she wouldn't even look at Jiang Ying.
Speaking of which, it's really no wonder that Ye Qingning dislikes Jiang Ying so much. Ye Qingning is the legitimate daughter of the Changyuan uncle's house. Her maternal grandfather is Zheng Guogong, her cousin is an English duke, and her aunt is a noble concubine in the palace.
The biological aunt of the Crown Prince's wife is not the least bit visionary. The Jiang family is just an ordinary official family, and Jiang Ying is just a concubine. On ordinary days, the proud Ye Qingning would not even bother to associate with Jiang Ying.
But now, with the support of the Jiang family, Jiang Ying moved into Huancui Pavilion openly and openly, not to mention that she dared to make things difficult for Zhixia in front of her... Humph! She had remembered this fact!
Ye Qinglan smiled and comforted her: "Sixth Sister has a lot of money, so don't argue with her. From now on, when we live under the same roof, we can't see each other when we look up. If we are too stiff, it will be difficult to explain to grandma."
Ye Qingning responded angrily: "If it weren't for the trouble, I would have kicked her out just now." Although she has never liked Jiang as a grandmother, elders are elders, and she can't really make trouble with Jiang for such a trivial matter.
In front of you!
Besides, the Jiang family is now obsessed with getting this Jiang Ying into the house. Everything must be directed towards Jiang Ying. There is no point in making trouble in front of the Jiang family.
Seeing that Ye Qingning was unhappy, Ye Qinglan smiled and coaxed Ye Qingning for a long time.
Ye Qingning's anger subsided and she finally calmed down a bit. She thought about it and said, "Zhixia, please have someone clean up a new guest room for the tenth sister to live in." Although the guest room in the back row is not small, it is
The lighting is not very good.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled and said: "No, I will just stay in that room. Anyway, I will only stay for a few days and then go back to Hefengyuan." Besides, after such a fuss, if we continue to work hard to clean up the guest room, it will definitely cause a stir.
Jiang Ying. Will there be another commotion by then?
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment and sighed. The dissatisfaction in his heart was getting more and more. This Jiang Ying, everyone felt uncomfortable on the first day she came here. If she became the eldest brother's concubine, wouldn't it be unstoppable in the future?
Time?
No, we can never let Jiang Ying get what she wants!
Jiang Shi deliberately pushed Jiang Ying into Huancui Pavilion, didn't she just want to take the opportunity to let Jiang Ying get close to Ye Yuanwei? Huh, she just didn't give Jiang Ying this chance!
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea. He smiled at Ye Qinglan and said, "I suddenly feel uncomfortable. I don't want to go out these days. Don't be bored if you stay with me."
Ye Qinglan was startled for a moment, then realized what he was saying and burst into laughter.
This is a good idea. Ye Yuanwei is busy with official duties every day, and there are not many opportunities to meet his family. Ye Qingning pretends to be sick and does not go out, and Jiang Ying can only stay in Huancui Pavilion, so naturally there is no chance to contact Ye Yuanwei.
.
However, Ye Qingning was fine in the morning, but became "sick" in the blink of an eye. Anyone could tell that something was wrong, let alone the shrewd Mr. Jiang.
"Sixth sister, grandma is not easy to fool." Ye Qinglan lowered her voice and said, "It doesn't matter if you pretend to be sick. What if she asks a doctor to take your pulse?" It would be really ugly then.
Ye Qingning smiled and frowned in frustration: "What should we do? I don't want to lead that Jiang Ying to see my elder brother."
Every morning when I go to greet Mrs. Zheng, I often meet Ye Yuanwei. If I come back early in the evening, Ye Yuanwei will also stay in Luomei Courtyard to eat. If Jiang Ying is with her every day, there will be many opportunities to see Ye Yuanwei.
Ye Qinglan couldn't think of a good idea for a while, and stared at Ye Qingning with big eyes.
Ye Qingning had an idea and said enthusiastically: "I have an idea. I won't cover myself with a quilt tonight and stand in front of the window for half the night..." You can't pretend to be sick, then you will really be cured!
"Stop, stop, stop!" Ye Qinglan interrupted Ye Qingning dumbfounded: "What a bad idea you have. If my aunt finds out, it would be weird not to be angry." No matter what, you can't torment yourself wantonly!
Ye Qingning sighed dejectedly: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what should I do? Are we just going to be taken advantage of?" The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't bear this tone.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed and she smiled slowly: "The mountain people have their own clever ideas, so come here!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.
