Chapter four hundred and twentieth making things difficult
Faced with Jiang's sudden intimacy, Ye Qinglan naturally showed a flattered look: "This is my grandmother's beloved thing, how dare my granddaughter ask for it..."
"Since I told you, just take it." Jiang ordered in a low voice, and a moment later, a maid came out holding a brocade box.
The brocade box is about one foot square and is made of fine nanmu. It is carved with exquisite dark patterns and inlaid with some gems. Not to mention the contents of the brocade box, just looking at the brocade box is very exquisite and expensive.
After the brocade box was opened, there was a piece of thick red satin inside. On the shiny red satin, there was a piece of emerald quietly placed. The emerald was about the size of a palm, green, clear and transparent, as if water was flowing inside. At first glance, It’s not ordinary!
Taking this kind of jade as a birthday gift will definitely make you stand out!
Ye Qinglan hurriedly folded her lapels and thanked her: "Thank you, grandma." This piece of jadeite was of excellent quality and was clearly a rare and top-quality piece. It was difficult for the stingy Mr. Jiang to take it out as a congratulatory gift to her.
Mrs. Jiang felt some pain in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She smiled and said, "What's there to thank you for? You went to the Prince's Mansion to celebrate Concubine Shen's birthday, so you can't be too stingy." Of course, she originally didn't know what to do. I had no intention of getting involved in such a "little matter", so I decided to take out this piece of jade at the last moment.
Ye Qinglan knew this very well, but she just pretended not to know and forced out a grateful smile.
At this moment, Li walked in with a smile, followed by Ye Qingrou.
Li glanced around and saw the piece of jade, and smiled slightly. When Jiang was chatting two days ago, she also said that she would make this piece of jade into jewelry and save it for Ye Qingrou to add makeup. Now she is taking it out like this. do what?
A bad premonition suddenly occurred in Mrs. Li's heart. She smiled tentatively and asked, "My mother-in-law is really in a good mood today. She actually took out this piece of jade to enjoy and play with."
As if Mrs. Jiang didn't understand the hint in her words, she smiled nonchalantly and said: "The steward of the Prince's Mansion has just sent an invitation. It will be Concubine Shen's birthday in three days. I invite Sister Lan to be a guest. Go. You can’t go empty-handed, so I’ll keep this piece of jade as a gift for Sister Lan.”
Mrs. Li smiled unnaturally: "Mother-in-law has really thought everything through." What could I use as a gift, but this piece of jade? It was clearly that Mrs. Jiang saw that Ye Qinglan had gotten into a good marriage, and wanted to win over her, so she was so generous. With such a congratulatory gift, it is enough to make Ye Qinglan look good and shine!
Seeing that what was supposed to be hers flew away like this, Ye Qingrou felt very unhappy and said angrily: "Grandma, you clearly said you would leave this piece of jade to me, why did you give it to your tenth cousin in the blink of an eye?"
In front of Ye Qinglan, Mrs. Jiang naturally put on a good posture, smiled and comforted: "Things have their own priorities. In three days, Sister Lan will go to the Prince's Mansion as a guest, and it will be impossible without a decent gift. There are still a few left before you get married. Yue, it’s not too late for grandma to prepare a dowry for you.”
Ye Qingrou had no choice but to nod, and then glanced at Ye Qinglan. The look in her eyes was a little unkind and revealed some jealousy.
Ye Qinglan looked back with a calm face. If someone insisted on giving it, she couldn't refuse it!
Ye Qingrou curled her lips and turned her head to the side. Although Li didn't show it so obviously, her face didn't look bad either.
What should be known is known. The jade has also been obtained, and there is no point in staying any longer to see other people's cold eyes. Ye Qinglan simply stood up and left. Of course, he would never forget to take the piece of jade with him when he left.
Under Ye Qingrou's jealous eyes, Ye Qinglan left calmly.
Mrs.
Forget it, just let this girl be proud and arrogant for a while! After waiting for a while, I have to find a way to punish her before I can get rid of the bad breath in my heart!
On this day, the tenth day of November, the weather was a bit cooler. Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly, which was a rare good weather.
After Ye Qinglan had packed up, she waited in the Hefeng Courtyard with peace of mind. If Mr. Xue didn't want to see Ye Qinglan anymore, she would still have to work hard on the surface. So, she called Ye Qinglan over and "told": "...you go
Being a guest at the Prince's Mansion represents the face of our Changyuan Mansion. You must not be arrogant or complacent, lest people make irresponsible remarks behind your back, saying that you, a concubine, have no talent and virtue, and you don't know what method you used to climb up to Ding.
This marriage in the Duke's Mansion will implicate me, my aunt, again, and I will be ridiculed for not being strict with my daughter..."
It is a long and eloquent article, and at first it sounds like a warning. But if you read it carefully, it is full of ridicule and ridicule.
Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips and responded respectfully: "Thank you, mother, for reminding me. Just rest assured, mother, that my daughter will always remember her identity and will never do anything to embarrass Changyuan's house. She will not grant any honors."
Even if those little people who make trouble out of nothing want to find fault, they will never be able to do so."
...The words he spoke were soft and yet thorny, and he clearly meant something.
Xue failed to gain the upper hand verbally, and became increasingly depressed - in fact, Xue's mood has been basically the same every day these days. Even if Ye Qinglan didn't say or do anything, as long as she stood there
, she began to feel uncomfortable all over.
What's even more frustrating is that as a legitimate mother, she now doesn't even have the right to "discipline" a concubine. The Jiang family and Zheng family have told her several times to stop looking for Ye Qinglan's fault. No matter how unhappy she is,
It can only be stopped.
At this moment, another person who made Mr. Xue miserable appeared.
Hong Hao, with a big belly, came to greet Ms.
It's strange that Mrs. Xue was in a good mood when she saw Hong Xiao like this. It's really strange to say that Hong Xiao had always been honest and honest in the past, but timid. That's why Mrs. Xue chose Hong Xiao to be her maid. Unexpectedly
, this seemingly honest Hung Hom seemed to have become a different person after becoming pregnant. She was always cautious and cautious, and except for greetings, she basically stayed in the house the rest of the time. She couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to.
to the right opportunity.
Such a delay actually lasted for several months. Seeing that Hong Xiao's belly had swelled up like an inflated balloon, she would give birth in more than a month...
The more Ms.
There are traces. It seems that we can only wait for the production of Hongxiao before doing anything...
Hong Xiao knew that she was not welcome, so she responded respectfully, and then retreated.
Ye Qinglan did not show too much attention to Hongxiao. He only looked at her casually when Hongxiao came in. After that, he kept his head lowered. It was precisely because of this behavior that Xue did not pay attention to Hongxiao.
Change your suspicion to Ye Qinglan.
In fact, even Ye Qinglan himself did not expect that after some advice that day, Hongxiao would make such rapid progress and survive the past few months unscathed. The saying "being a mother makes you strong" is indeed not bad at all. Who would have thought that
That honest, almost cowardly woman back then actually had such a brave and strong side?
After waiting for a while, Hongyun, who ordered the carriage to be prepared, came back: "Madam, the carriage is ready."
Ms.
It showed a sense of sarcasm.
Ye Qinglan seemed not to understand, and responded with a smile: "I don't dare to bother mother, I can go there myself."
...It's like punching hard, but hitting the soft cotton, with nowhere to put the force, which makes people angry.
Mrs.
Hongyun and the other maids looked at each other, quietly exchanged understanding glances, and each lowered their heads, so as not to be affected by Xue's anger and become the unlucky ones who were angered.
…
Ye Qinglan led Ruixue and Ruomei to the door in a hurry. From a distance, they saw a carriage parked outside the open door. The coachman was standing beside the carriage waiting.
Ye Qinglan walked to the carriage, and the coachman opened the door hurriedly. Ruomei stepped forward and helped Ye Qinglan get into the carriage.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him.
Ye Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a subtle feeling, and turned around to look over.
The white horse approached from far away, and in just a blink of an eye, it came before us. The young man on the horse was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with handsome eyebrows and a faint smile. Who else could it be if it wasn't Gu Xinian?
Why did he come?
Ye Qinglan pretended to be reserved and said hello: "Cousin Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Xinian responded politely: "I received the prince's invitation two days ago, and I am going to the prince's house for a banquet today. I heard that cousin Lan was also going, so Yu'er wanted to go with you and stay with you all the way.
You won’t have to worry about loneliness if you travel with us.”
Ye Qinglan was a little surprised, but more than happy: "Is it true? Cousin Xiyu will go too?"
"I didn't expect her to go." Gu Xinian said with a smile: "I ride a horse, which is faster than her carriage. At most, I have to wait for a while, and the carriage will arrive." In the past, Gu Xiyu would have received such an invitation.
She didn't even know how to look at him, let alone go out with him as a guest. But now, Gu Xiyu just hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Such a change is of far-reaching significance to Gu Xiyu. It’s no wonder that Gu Xinian is in such a happy mood. It just so happens that with Gu Xiyu’s name, he walks with Ye Qinglan in an upright manner...
Looking into each other's eyes, both of them felt a little sweet in their hearts. Even if they didn't say anything, there was still a close affection flowing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
