These two maids are indeed well-born. Shaoyaosheng is exquisite and delicate, and her fair face is quite charming. Haitang is tall, and if you look closely at her facial features, she looks vaguely familiar.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved quietly. She looked at Haitang carefully and finally saw the clues.
This Begonia looks a bit like Shen Qiuyu. Especially when she purses her lips and smiles, she looks even more like her. She doesn't have Shen Qiuyu's elegant and outstanding temperament, but she is better than her youth. , the eyes are moving, very moving.
Ye Qinglan twitched the corners of her lips, and a sneer flashed in her eyes. If she still couldn't see Mrs. Sun's intentions at this point, she would have been a psychiatrist for so many years. This Mrs. Sun, she couldn't find trouble in the past few times. Okay, this time I am trying my best to cause trouble for her.
From Sun's point of view, she, as her granddaughter-in-law, has no reason to refuse the gift from her elders. And what kind of reaction will Gu Xinian have when he sees this Haitang?
If she really accepts this Haitang, just looking at that face that looks like Shen Qiuyu every day will be enough to make her miserable.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Haitang and realized what she was doing, and her brows suddenly wrinkled.
She didn't have a good impression of Shen Qiuyu. After Shen Qiuyu married to the Prince's Mansion, Gu Xinian had been depressed for several years. This made Mrs. Zheng hate Shen Qiuyu even more. She didn't know where Sun came from. I found such a maid and succeeded in making her uncomfortable...
Mrs. Sun glanced at the people with different expressions, and a smug smile flashed in her eyes. She deliberately left Ye Qinglan dry first and said to Zhang Yue: "Ms. Zhang, you can take this peony back to Tingyuxuan tonight! Let's let it go first. She has been waiting for you for a while, and then you can choose a good day to indulge her!"
It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away!
Zhang Yue stood up helplessly and responded. Shaoyao hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully, and then stood obediently behind Zhang Yue.
Compared with Ye Qinglan, Zhang Yue was more accepting of the idea of marrying a maid. As a noble girl, the education she received since she was a child included how to manage concubines. So although she was reluctant, she did not Show any objection.
Mrs. Sun was quite satisfied with her performance, and then without even looking at Ye Qinglan, she only ordered the maid named Haitang: "Haitang, you go and bow to the fourth young lady now, and you will follow the fourth young lady back to Deyunxuan tonight. "
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sun glanced at Ye Qinglan proudly. No matter how eloquent she was, the younger generation could not refuse the gift from the elders in front of everyone.
In fact, Ye Qinglan's reaction was indeed unexpected. Instead of saying no, she stood up with a smile: "Grandma really cares about my grandson-in-law, and she is willing to give me such a beautiful maid. I have to thank my grandma."
Not to mention Mrs. Sun, even Mrs. Zheng was stunned. Which song was Ye Qinglan singing?
Sun was fully mentally prepared. As long as Ye Qinglan dared to talk back or refuse, she would attack Ye Qinglan rudely and embarrass Ye Qinglan. But she never expected that Ye Qinglan would react like this. Stunned.
Ye Qinglan waved to Haitang again: "Come, come here and give me a closer look."
Haitang walked over a little cautiously and saluted respectfully to say hello.
Ye Qinglan looked at Begonia carefully, and then said with a smile: "Grandma has really good eyesight, and this Begonia does have a good appearance. Looking carefully, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Concubine Shen. Grandma has good intentions, and my husband If I knew it, I wouldn’t know how happy I would be!”
Everyone present had seen Shen Qiuyu, and as soon as they saw the face that resembled Shen Qiuyu, they naturally guessed Sun's intention. However, guessing was just guessing. No one expected that Ye Qinglan would say these words so easily. He said it in public.
For a moment, no one spoke at the dinner table, and it was unusually quiet.
Mrs. Sun pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't pay attention at first. It was only after you said this that I realized that Haitang does look a bit like Concubine Shen."
With such poor acting skills, she still had the nerve to act.
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled slightly: "It turns out that grandma didn't notice this. My granddaughter-in-law thought that grandma had specially chosen such a maid! Speaking of which, these two maids looked very unfamiliar to me. I’ve never seen one before. I wonder where my grandmother found two such beautiful maids?”
Mrs. Zheng also echoed: "What Qinglan said is that I go in and out of Shunyitang every day, but I have never seen the two of them."
Mrs. Sun coughed and said, "These two maids were specially sent by others to serve me. They were sent not long ago and have been staying in Shunyi Hall. It is normal for you not to have seen them before."
...Ye Qinglan suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.
How could there be such a coincidence? Who would send two maids to the Sun family for no reason. The Sun family also "incidentally" gave these two maids to her grandson for marriage. It happened that one of them looked like Shen Qiuyu! Ye Qinglan was the first to not believe it when he said that there was no hidden secret in it!
No one present was stupid, and they all sensed that something was wrong. They all looked at Sun in a subtle way. Who was secretly hooking up with Sun and deliberately causing trouble for Ye Qinglan? As for Shaoyao, it was obvious that he did it casually. .
Ye Qinglan's mind was spinning, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She was secretly shocked, but her face remained calm: "Grandma has worked so hard, and my granddaughter-in-law has thanked her first. After the banquet is over, she will take Haitang back. Settled in Izumoken."
...This thing went too smoothly!
Mrs. Sun was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's great that you can be so virtuous."
This was the first time that Mrs. Sun smiled at her in such an easy-going and affectionate manner since she came here. Ye Qinglan sneered secretly in her heart, but responded with a few words of meekness and respect on her face.
Haitang stood behind her with his head lowered, acting quite honestly.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ye Qinglan worriedly. Was she really planning to take this maid back? If nothing else, just this face was enough to disturb Gu Xinian's mind.
Ye Qinglan smiled reassuringly, indicating that she knew what was going on.
In front of everyone, Mrs. Zheng couldn't say anything more, so she had to leave it at that.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was customary to stay together all night. The men's banquet had not yet ended, and they were chatting and laughing. But the atmosphere on the women's side was really weird. The Sun family was probably the only one who was in a good mood.
Zhang Yue took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly came to Ye Qinglan's side, and sighed in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" This question was very implicit, but both of them knew very well that in order to think about the future, If life is peaceful, this maid must be sent away as soon as possible.
Ye Qinglan said in a low voice: "As long as my husband refuses, no matter how many people come, it will not help."
Zhang Yueruo realized something and finally had a smile in his eyes.
People who are given gifts by their elders cannot refuse them. However, it is not up to you to decide what to do after receiving the reward from the courtyard? Mrs. Sun can’t force her grandson to sleep with other women!
It is a pleasure to talk to smart people. There are many things that do not need to be explained in detail. Just such a sentence is enough to understand the spirit. Ye Qinglan smiled at Zhang Yue and silently calculated in her heart.
Who could be the person who has contact with the Sun family and can use the Sun family to deal with her? After thinking about it, she is the only one...
Gu Xinian was naturally unaware of everything that happened here. Today was New Year's Eve, and all the men in the house were sitting together, drinking and chatting in a lively manner. Even the always serious Duke of Dingguo, Gu Youhe, was smiling. Manmian. The topic unknowingly turned to the war at the border.
"...General Shen has always been brave, but he didn't expect that he couldn't resist the barbarians this time." Gu Youhe sighed and frowned: "The prince has also been implicated. The emperor even made a fuss in court today. I lost my temper. Looking at this attitude, after the New Year, the military governor will be handed over to the third prince."
Mentioning these, everyone's hearts felt a little heavy, and the wine suddenly had no taste in their mouths. The prince's life has indeed been difficult in the past few months. On the other hand, the third prince seems to be favored again. If it is true. As you said, I'm afraid there will be another disturbance in the court.
Gu Hong couldn't help but whispered: "I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. The prince is the crown prince of the country. He has been crown prince since he was ten years old. However, in these years, the emperor has favored the third prince more and more. It will be early tomorrow morning At the age of going to Fandi, there is still no order for the third prince to go to Fandi. If this continues, it is not a good sign."
The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and this statement is absolutely true! If the emperor has the intention to depose the prince, it doesn't seem like it. The backbone of the prince's party are all safe and sound. But it is obvious that the emperor suppresses the prince! What is hidden behind this The mystery is really elusive.
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "If the position of the governor is really snatched away by the third prince, it would not be a bad thing. The prince just got rid of this mess, and he does not have to be scolded by the emperor because of his defeat."
With that said, he changed the subject.
It was Chinese New Year, and no one wanted to keep talking about these disappointing things, so they naturally changed the topic.
After the banquet, Gu Youhe specially called Gu Xinian to the side to ask: "In Xinian, the border has been suffering defeats. But as far as I know, the court has always had sufficient food and grass, and the Ministry of War has been constantly dispatching soldiers and generals to the front. Go to reinforce. Logically speaking, the war should have improved a long time ago. Why is it getting worse every time, and the battle reports sent are not as good as the last one?" No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong with this.
Gu Xiqian said with an understatement: "I have never led troops in a war, and I don't know the secret of it."
Gu Youhe glanced at his grandson with a half-smile but not a smile: "Good boy, you are starting to get aggressive in front of your grandfather. There is something fishy about this. I don't believe you didn't notice it at all."
