When we arrived at Changhe Hall, everyone in the first and second bedrooms had already arrived.
Ms. Xue put on a smile, led her children to greet Ms. Jiang, and then sat next to Ms. Zheng. In this way, Ye Qinglan naturally met Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning was wearing a scarlet dress, and her face was very bright and attractive. Her expression was still aloof and reserved. When she met Ye Qinglan, she lost her usual easy-going and friendly attitude. He only glanced at her lightly and then looked away.
...Still not calmed down yet?
Ye Qinglan sighed secretly, and greeted Ye Qingning shamelessly: "Sixth sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it seems that I have lost some energy."
Ye Qingning glanced at her quickly and responded calmly: "You look rosy, and it seems that you are in a good mood these days." These words sounded pleasant to the ear at first, but upon savoring them carefully, they turned out to be soft and prickly, which was very irritating.
As long as she is willing to talk to her, she can only tolerate a few unpleasant words that are not painful or unpleasant.
Ye Qinglan changed the topic: "There are two days left for the Spring Festival Examination, and Cousin Zheng will also enter the examination room this time. He will definitely come back with a good score, and by then, he will have the title of Jinshi."
Ye Qingning responded with a smile but not a smile: "It's nothing to pass the Jinshi exam, but nothing compared to cousin Gu's success when he won the top prize!"
...Well, she'd better shut up!
It's a pity that even if you don't say anything, you still can't stop.
"We were having a good chat, why did we suddenly stop talking again?" Ye Qingning deliberately found trouble: "You and I used to talk a lot together, but now why do you have nothing to say?"
Ye Qinglan comforted herself in her heart. We are adults. We can't argue with a girl about her movie. What's the harm in giving her a few words? Anyway, there are so many people here, even if Ye Qingning is unhappy, she won't do it in front of everyone.
Have an argument with her.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan smiled and whispered: "It's not convenient to talk here. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."
Ye Qingning had been holding back his anger for a month. How could he let her go so easily? He smiled coldly and said, "I'm very busy. I have to go back to do needlework later. I don't have time to talk nonsense with those heartless people."
Ye Qinglan simply shut up. Ye Qingning has a bad temper. She has learned this a long time ago. Once he gets angry, he will not calm down for three to five days. This time it is even worse. It has been a month and he is still angry.
Angry!
Since she doesn't want to see him so much, there's no point in rushing over to her. I'd better be wiser. Stay away from Huancui Pavilion these days to prevent Ye Qingning from feeling even more unhappy.
After leaving Changhetang, Ye Qinglan followed Mr.
Logically speaking, Ye Qingning should feel relieved. But on the contrary, Ye Qingning felt even more unhappy. For two days in a row, he had a sullen face and no smile.
Zheng couldn't help but asked a few questions with concern: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you these past two days? You look unhappy. Who provoked you?"
Ye Qingning naturally refused to admit why he was sulking. He denied it: "It's nothing, I'm in a good mood."
Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes at her: "You're in a good mood, why are you so long-faced? Are you still at odds with Sister Lan?"
Ye Qingning was told something that was on his mind and turned his head gloomily.
Zheng gave her a rare explanation: "You are not a child anymore, why are you always having a bad temper? You and Sister Lan used to be so close, and I told you to stay away from her. You were
What did you say? I just want to be good with her. No one in the house knows that the two of you are harmonious and friendly. You go in and out together all day long. It’s better now. Just because of trivial things, you become like this. Those
A talkative servant who doesn’t know how to talk behind his back.”
Ye Qingning frowned and said unhappily: "What happens to me and my tenth sister is none of other people's business. What can they say?"
"Of course they won't say anything in front of you." Zheng said calmly: "However, I'm afraid Sister Lan's life will not be easy. Your third aunt doesn't like her at all. She used to look at the eldest daughter.
She is kind to her because of her appearance. However, now that you and her have had an quarrel and no longer interact with each other, your third aunt no longer has any scruples. She has been trying different ways to deal with her in the past two days!"
Ye Qingning was startled, and reflexively raised his head and asked, "What happened to Third Aunt to Tenth Sister?"
Mrs. Zheng raised her eyebrows in a funny way: "Aren't you having trouble with her? Do you still care what she does?"
Ye Qingning was speechless, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "When did I plan to take care of her? I just... just wanted to listen to relieve my boredom."
Hard-spoken but soft-hearted! Mrs. Zheng was secretly amused and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just heard that your third aunt often punishes Sister Lan by grounding her for the past two days, and she always misses one or two of the three meals a day."
Ye Qingning lowered her eyelids. Zheng's voice came into her ears again: "I can't get involved in the affairs of the third bedroom. Your third aunt is also a smart person and will not go too far..."
Isn't that excessive enough? The tenth sister is also a serious young lady. She is often punished and grounded without food. Isn't she treated like those maids and servants who have made mistakes? The third aunt did it on purpose. It is obvious that she has no intention at all.
Let all the maids and ladies in the house know these things.
In this case, how will the tenth sister behave in front of those servants in the future?
Ye Qingning frowned unconsciously and tightened the handkerchief in his hand.
Mr. Xue deliberately found faults, and no matter how good Ye Qinglan was, she would inevitably find a lot of faults. She would find an excuse at random and send Ye Qinglan to go back to her room to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, and then the meal would be "saved". Of course,
Mr.
The maids all felt aggrieved for their master, but Ye Qinglan was very calm and comforted her with a smile: "Mother is just punishing me to reflect, what does it matter if I skip one meal? Just treat it as losing weight. But it has hurt you, in my heart
I'm really sorry." The master has no food to eat, so naturally the maids will also starve.
Ruixue wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and said with a choked voice: "Young lady is just growing up, so how can you always miss a meal like this?" The previous young lady was thin and weak, and it took her a year to grow.
He has some meat and looks much better. How can he withstand such torture?
Guiyuan's eyes were also red: "Miss's life is really miserable. The master is not here, otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered this fate."
Hong Luan opened her mouth in a rare moment: "How about I send a letter to Zhengzhou secretly? It won't work if we keep going like this!"
The maids talked to each other, and Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart. In fact, she was not hungry at all. Every time Mr. Xue punished her by grounding her, Ye Yuanzhou would secretly go to the kitchen to find some food and bring it to her.
Although she didn't want to see Ye Yuanzhou, she didn't have to worry about her belly. She could just eat the food with peace of mind. It was just the right time for her to meet Xue's husband.
It was because of Ye Yuanzhou that Mrs.
"Repent". Mrs. Xue was so angry that she sent extra people to watch Ye Yuanzhou. But Ye Yuanzhou had many hands and feet, and how could the maids stop him. Mrs. Xue originally wanted to punish her, but unfortunately, every time she arrived,
In the end, the person who was so angry and internally injured was Mr. Xue himself.
Ruomei gently pushed the door open and came in, holding something like a heavy wooden box in her hand, wrapped tightly in a thick cloth.
Ruixue couldn't help but scolded: "Ruomei, where have you been? Why haven't you been seen for a long time?" Serving the master Zi Ye is too sad!
Ruomei didn't explain much and whispered: "Miss, this is sent by Miss Gu."
Miss Gu? Ye Qinglan was startled, and then realized that this was meant for Ruixue and the others. This wooden box should have been sent by someone from Gu Xinian.
Ying'er was very curious and took a look: "What's in it?"
Ruixue glared at her: "You're the only one who talks too much, okay, let's all go out and don't disturb the young lady's peace." After saying that, she led all the maids out, leaving only Ruomei.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and chuckled. Ruixue was indeed smart and perceptive. I'm afraid she had already guessed the subtlety between herself and Gu Xinian, and she also knew Ruomei's origin...
When there was no one else in the room, Ruomei said with a smile: "Miss, this is what the master sent me." After saying that, she opened the package and handed the wooden box to her respectfully.
Ye Qinglan took the wooden box and did not rush to open it. Instead, she looked at it carefully.
Judging from the appearance, this wooden box is similar to a food box. It is heavy in the hand. However, the materials are much more sophisticated and refined than ordinary food boxes. The carvings are exquisite and have dark patterns, revealing a high-end product.
the breath.
When she opened the wooden box and took a look, she saw several snacks neatly placed inside. Ye Qinglan naturally eats snacks often, but this box of snacks is especially small and delicate, with a fragrant aroma that makes people appetite just looking at it.
"The person who brought the gift said that the young master specially brought it from the palace. You can't buy it outside. He said he wanted the young lady to have a taste of something new." Ruomei said without missing a chance.
Ye Qinglan felt a faint sweetness in her heart. She knew that Ruomei must have told Gu Xinian about the situation in the past few days. Gu Xinian specially sent a box of snacks from the palace, hoping to
She was hungry when she was hungry. I didn't expect that he would be so attentive.
Ye Qinglan picked up one of the pieces and took a bite. The thick sweet aroma of bean paste spread in her mouth, and the sweetness on the tip of her tongue spread into her heart.
This is the most delicious snack she has ever eaten.
Ruomei took out another thin letter from her sleeve: "Miss, here is another letter from the Master." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
