Ye Qinglan whispered a few words in a low voice, and Ye Qingning nodded while listening. As expected, Shi Mei has the most flexible mind, and she came up with practical countermeasures so quickly...
That night, Mrs. Zheng sent someone to invite several ladies to have dinner in Luomei Courtyard.
Jiang Ying specially tidied it up carefully. She is a young girl, and even if she dresses up carefully, it makes people's eyes brighter. Although it is not as bright and fresh as Ye Qingning's and Ye Qinglan's, it is still a fresh and elegant flower.
No wonder Jiang wanted to do everything possible to create an opportunity for Jiang Ying to get close to Ye Yuanwei. With such a beautiful girl dangling in front of his eyes, how could a man not be tempted?
Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan looked at each other and thought in a tacit understanding. Jiang Ying must not be allowed a chance to get close to Ye Yuanwei.
Jiang Ying said with a smile: "Two cousins, have you packed up? Can you go? Don't keep Auntie waiting impatiently."
Bah! Which one is onion and which one is garlic? Did you also call me aunt?
Ye Qingning sneered disdainfully in his heart. His expression was naturally far from warm, and even a little cold: "Don't worry, it's still early. It's not too late to wait a little longer."
Jiang Ying turned a blind eye to her cold face and nodded with a smile. She started gossiping with Ye Qinglan again.
Ye Qinglan was born with a kind and friendly smile, and she always had a smile when she wasn't smiling. And as both concubines, she should be closer to her!
People came over so enthusiastically, and Ye Qinglan could only smile and say a few words. This Jiang Ying was not a fool. Seeing that Ye Qingning ignored her, she came to talk to her. Ye Qingning could ignore others with a cold face. She was just one of them.
A concubine cannot be so arrogant.
After sitting for a while, Zhixia came in from outside and nodded lightly to Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning felt relieved and his mood improved a lot. He stood up with a smile and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to Luomei Courtyard. Don't keep mother waiting."
The same thing was said by Jiang Ying just not long ago. Ye Qingning was very impatient at the time. But in just a short moment, Ye Qingning suddenly changed. I had long heard that the sixth lady of the Ye family had a bad temper and was difficult to take care of, and it was true.
Jiang Ying stood up with a calm smile and followed Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan towards Luomei Courtyard.
Sure enough, Madam Zheng had been waiting for a long time. The wooden dining table was filled with exquisite dishes, but Madam Zheng and Ye Chengren were the only ones sitting there.
Strange, why didn't Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei come? Jiang Ying was secretly confused, but she didn't feel like asking any more questions. She obediently stepped forward and said hello, trying very hard to leave a good impression on Ye Chengren and his wife.
It's a pity that no matter how well she did, Ye Chengren and Zheng were not in the mood to appreciate it. They both responded lightly. They turned to look at Ye Qingning again, and their expressions immediately softened. Even when they were facing Ye Qinglan, they were compared to her.
Much more easy-going.
Jiang Ying tried hard to maintain a smile, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
She knew very well the purpose of the Jiang family in letting her enter the family. As a mere concubine of the Jiang family, it was not easy to find a good marriage. Therefore, she had no objection to the Jiang family's arrangement. What's more, Ye Yuanweisheng was so handsome.
Bufan is also the eldest grandson of Changyuan Uncle Mansion. Even if she is to be a concubine, she is willing to do so.
But now it seems that things are not as easy as she thought. Ye Qingning's rejection of her is obvious. Zheng doesn't seem to like her very much either...
With Zheng's shrewdness and sophistication, it was easy to see through Jiang Ying's thoughts. She sneered secretly in her heart, but her face remained calm. After dinner, Zheng didn't look at Jiang Ying at all.
Ye Qingning had been sitting upright while eating, occasionally talking to Ye Qinglan in a low voice, and not paying attention to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying sat between Zheng and Ye Qingning, not to mention how embarrassed she was. She secretly expected Ye Yuanwei to appear, but until she put down her chopsticks, Ye Yuanwei and his wife were nowhere to be seen.
From the corner of his eye, Ye Qingning saw Jiang Ying looking towards the door frequently, and finally couldn't help teasing: "Brother and sister-in-law are having dinner in Qinfang Garden tonight, so they won't come over."
The fact is that she listened to Ye Qinglan's suggestion and specially asked Zhixia to go to Qinfang Garden to give Cui Wan some advice. No matter what method she used, she must keep Ye Yuanwei in Qinfang Garden. Cui Wan is also a smart person, so she naturally knows what to do.
How to do it.
Jiang Ying's thoughts were suddenly exposed, and her face turned red. Even if they knew each other well, but they were so explicit, how could she, a girl who had not yet left the court, tolerate it.
Mrs. Zheng did not help Jiang Ying, she just pretended not to hear and continued to eat gracefully and slowly.
Since Ye Qinglan has chosen to stand on the side of the eldest brother, she can only turn a blind eye to Jiang Ying's embarrassment. A good girl must be a concubine. And she is sent to her door so rudely. She deserves to be humiliated. It's really not right.
Worthy of sympathy.
This incident also sounded the alarm for Ye Qinglan.
If Jiang Ying was a serious legitimate daughter, the Jiang family would not have such an idea in any case. As a common daughter, Jiang Ying was treated as a pawn. She must be careful in the future, and she must not be treated like this by her legitimate mother Xue.
The chess pieces are good.
After dinner, Zheng left Ye Qingning and the other three to talk for a while - of course, Jiang Ying still had no chance to interrupt.
After coming out of Luomei Courtyard, the three of them returned to Huancui Pavilion together. Ye Qingning talked and laughed with Ye Qinglan along the way, but ignored Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying secretly gritted her teeth and tried to force out a smile: "Cousin Ning, it's too early to rest now
Now, can I come to your room and talk for a while?"
Ye Qingning was never polite to people he didn't like: "I'm very tired after a busy day, and I really don't have the energy to talk to cousin Ying. Cousin Ying should go back to the house and rest early!"
Jiang Ying could no longer squeeze out a smile and nodded dryly. The moment she turned around, her face completely sank.
Ye Qingning's unabashed laughter came from behind: "Ten sisters, come to my room, I have something good to show you..."
Jiang Ying was so angry that she vomited blood. She returned to the house with a gloomy face and was sulky all night. She made up her mind to complain to Mr. Jiang early the next morning. Mr. Jiang would definitely tell her then.
He scolded Ye Qingning severely for taking out her anger...
"Did you see the look on Jiang Ying's face just now?" Ye Qingning almost beamed with joy: "I was so angry that I was half-dead, but I still tried my best to squeeze out a smile. It really made me laugh to death." It was so relieved to see her.
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and couldn't help but remind her: "Don't make her anxious. Otherwise, she will complain to her grandmother..."
Ye Qingning snorted: "My grandma doesn't like me anyway. Let her complain as much as she likes." She has known since she was very young that Jiang's treatment of her and Ye Qingrou are completely different.
Jiang is a good person, and she treats her well on the surface. But when something really happens, she will definitely favor Ye Qingrou. She was angry at first, but after so many years, she has already gotten used to it. Anyway, no matter Jiang's heart
No matter how you think about it, she is the only eldest daughter of the Changyuan House. No matter how partial Jiang is to Ye Qingrou, this fact cannot be changed.
Seeing Ye Qingning's nonchalant look, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but swallow the words that came to her lips.
Things in this world cannot have both ends. As Ye Qingning said, unless Mrs. Zheng and Cui Wan agree to marry Jiang Ying as their concubine, Mrs. Jiang will definitely not let go with her eldest brother. Therefore, even if she is unhappy with Jiang Ying
It doesn't matter.
We are not friends in the first place, so why bother pretending?
Jiang Ying did have some respect for the city. When they met again the next day, Jiang Ying looked as if nothing had happened. She still greeted Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan with a smile. Then she followed them to pay respects to Mrs. Zheng with a calm expression.
Ye Qinglan was somewhat impressed by Jiang Ying. It was really rare for a fifteen-year-old girl to have such a palace. Ye Qingning or Ye Qingrou would never have been able to do this.
Of course, if it were her, she would definitely be more embarrassed than Jiang Ying. When the situation is stronger than others, the so-called self-esteem can be put aside. As long as the goal can be achieved, there is no harm in being thicker-skinned.
Halfway through, I met Cui Wan.
Cui Wan hugged Sister Qiao and greeted Ye Qingning and others with a smile. When it was Jiang Ying's turn, Cui Wan's smile faded a little and she nodded casually. No matter how good-tempered she was, she had no interest in coveting her husband.
The woman talks and smiles Yan Yan.
Jiang Ying was naturally unhappy after being ignored one after another, but she quickly calmed down and looked calm and obedient.
Ye Qingning glanced at Jiang Ying and deliberately asked Cui Wan: "Sister-in-law, where is the elder brother?"
Jiang Ying's expression moved slightly and she quietly raised her head.
Cui Wan naturally did not miss Jiang Ying's reaction, and the anger in her heart bubbled out. Do you really treat her as a soft persimmon and easy to bully? She was still standing here, and this person who came to her door automatically began to think about how to seduce her.
Husband. Bah!
Cui Wan's good upbringing and self-cultivation made Cui Wan hold back her displeasure and responded with a smile: "He has to go to the morning court and has already left."
He left so early! In other words, she wouldn't have a chance to meet him this day...
Disappointment flashed across Jiang Ying's eyes. But the three people on the side were paying attention to her every move, so they naturally did not miss this fleeting disappointment.
Ye Qinglan was just watching the fun, while Ye Qingning looked down on Jiang Ying in his heart, with a trace of contempt on his face. Cui Wan was the most angry one, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
The group went to Luomei Courtyard and then to Changhe Hall to pay respects to Mr. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang greeted them all with a smile, then her eyes fell on Jiang Ying, and her tone was very friendly: "Sister Ying, are you still used to living in Huancui Pavilion?"
Ye Qingning looked over with a half-smile. She wanted to see how Jiang Ying would complain today.
Ye Qinglan also looked at Jiang Ying.
If Jiang Ying is smart enough, she should know how to be reserved. Now that she has moved into Huancui Pavilion, she should calm down and slowly look for suitable opportunities to get close to Ye Yuanwei. If she complains at this time, she will completely offend Ye Qingning.
.
Of course, this is the calmness that only idlers outside the chessboard can have. Can Jiang Ying tolerate this idleness while inside?
