---------------
After much deliberation, Ye Qinglan couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, we are going to Dingguogong's Mansion tomorrow. What exactly Zheng is planning will be revealed tomorrow.
The next morning, Ye Qinglan still got up early. She freshened up a little, changed into new clothes with a slightly brighter color, and put the pair of gemstone bracelets on her wrists. As expected, she felt a lot more energetic.
Ruixue lowered her voice and asked: "Miss, do you still need to apply makeup today?"
Ye Qinglan nodded.
Just as Ruixue was about to take action, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Hongyu who came in. Hongyu suffered some hardships yesterday, and is a lot more honest today. She said with a smile: "Miss, please come and dress up for you!"
Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "No need, Ruixue has already done enough for me."
Hongyu smiled, but still refused to give up: "I have been combing my wife's hair before, and even my wife praised my skills! Miss, let me give it a try..."
Ye Qinglan was not moved at all, and still refused simply and neatly: "I said no, I don't want to, please step back first! You don't need to serve me here anymore."
Hongyu reluctantly backed out, glaring at Ruixue before leaving.
The master was devoted to her, and Ruixue felt naturally at ease, and she served her more diligently than usual. She carefully applied a thin layer of powder on Ye Qinglan's face. The girl in the bronze mirror suddenly looked a little sickly and pale.
Ye Qinglan was very satisfied with Ruixue's craftsmanship and stood up with a smile: "Let's go. Don't keep Sixth Sister waiting impatiently."
Ruixue smiled and agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "Miss, should Hongyu go with us today?" Although she hated Hongyu, she had to admit that Hongyu was a beautiful and smart maid.
Wearing rubies is obviously much better than wearing longan.
Ye Qinglan tugged at the corners of her lips, her eyes unusually bright: "Let's bring the longan!" For a dishonest and restless master like Hong Yu, it's best to stay in the Hefeng Courtyard, no matter how noisy she is, she won't cause trouble.
.
Ruixue immediately called Guiyuan to come in.
Guiyuan came in excitedly, her big eyes full of surprise: "Miss, do you really want to take your slave out of the house with you?"
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded.
Guiyuan immediately beamed with joy. Not to mention how happy she was. Being able to go to Duke Dingguo's mansion to broaden her horizons, I don't know how many maids envied me!
Seeing Guiyuan's happy look, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little looking forward to today's trip. Being stuck in the house all day was really boring. It was a rare opportunity to go out and relax. Maybe she could see Gu Xi again.
Where is jade!
As for Gu Xinian...
Although she likes to admire beautiful men, she never has any unnecessary thoughts. It is better to stay away from them.
Ye Qingning must be very happy today! She has always been secretly in love with the Fourth Young Master Gu!
As expected, Ye Qingning had made a special effort to tidy up her appearance today. Her already beautiful face was covered with makeup, making her look bright and dazzling. She was even more dazzling in red.
Ye Qinglan smiled and complimented: "Sixth sister is so beautiful today. If I were a man, I would definitely make my eyes pop out."
This flattery hit the mark. A smile suddenly appeared on Ye Qingning's face, and he looked at Ye Qinglan up and down: "Stop praising me, you are also very beautiful today!"
Although Ye Qinglan tried her best to dress in a low-key manner and not be eye-catching, her beautiful face could not be concealed. There was a slight smile in her eyes as calm as water, as if a warm spring breeze was blowing across her cheeks. It made people feel comfortable.
Her beauty is not dazzling, at least not as bright as mine. But she has a strange charm that makes people feel close to her from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Ye Qingning's eyes are higher than her head, she has to admit that this tenth cousin is a perfect beauty.
Ye Qinglan smiled playfully: "Okay, let's not flatter each other here. Let's go find my aunt as soon as possible! Don't keep her waiting."
Ye Qingning smiled and nodded.
The two of them went to Luomei Courtyard together. Along the way, Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Qingning calmly and found that she looked really good.
The girl's mood is like the weather in summer. It can change at any time. This statement is absolutely true. Yesterday, Ye Qingning was feeling sulky, but it turned sunny after just one night. Naturally, it couldn't be someone else who made Ye Qingning feel so good.
, it must be Gu Xinian!
Mrs. Zheng had already packed her things and had been waiting in Luomei Courtyard for a long time.
Today, Mrs. Zheng has obviously dressed up carefully, and she looks a bit younger than usual. She also has a kind and friendly smile on her face.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan for a few times, feeling very satisfied.
Ye Qingning's appearance is outstanding, and her skin is very fair. She is the most charming and beautiful in a red dress. Ye Qinglan is wearing a light yellow dress, which is neither rude nor stealing Ye Qingning's limelight. She is really smart and smart.
girl!
Zheng's eyes suddenly fell on the gemstone bracelet on Ye Qinglan's wrist. It was strange, why did this bracelet look so familiar?
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled and explained: "My cousin lent it to me. I agreed to wear it for a day and then return it to her."
Zheng's eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly smiled meaningfully: "There is no reason to bring back the things you gave away. I made the decision for her and gave you these bracelets."
How can this work!
Ye Qinglan was about to say something when she heard Cui Wan's smiling voice at the door: "Tenth cousin, please don't refuse. My mother-in-law has already spoken. If you don't accept it, I, as a sister-in-law, will have no place to show my face."
.”
Mrs. Zheng burst into laughter and made a rare joke: "I remember that you have a lot of good things. Why didn't you give Sister Lan something good? Instead, you showed off this pair of worthless bracelets. It doesn't feel too shabby."
Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was in a good mood, Cui Wan responded with a smile: "In front of you, my daughter-in-law's little possessions are not worth mentioning."
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.
After waiting for a while, Ye Qingrou also came over. She also wore a bright spring shirt today, and her figure became more and more delicate and attractive. She first saluted Mrs. Zheng and then said hello to Cui Wan, and then
It's Ye Qingning's turn.
Ye Qingning has always disliked Ye Qingrou, and everyone in front of and behind her would not show her a good look. Today was no exception, he nodded perfunctorily and looked away.
Ye Qingrou suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and greeted Ye Qinglan with a smile. Ye Qinglan adhered to the principle of not offending anyone and responded politely.
Dong Yan stepped forward with a smile and reported: "Madam, the carriage is ready."
Mrs. Zheng nodded and led everyone into the carriage without delay.
The carriage in Changyuan Bo's Mansion is very luxurious and elegant. It is more than enough for a dozen masters and servants to sit in two carriages, and it is not crowded at all. Zheng and Cui Wan took one, and the three sisters Ye Qinglan took the other.
Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou seemed to be competing, neither of them wanted to speak.
Ye Qinglan was the first to break the silence: "Sixth sister, where is Duke Dingguo's mansion? I have never been there!"
Although Ye Qingrou didn't say a word, her ears were perked up.
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qingrou with disdain, and then said calmly: "Dingguo's mansion is in Qinghefang, one of the four directions. After leaving Ronghefang, it will only take half an hour at most."
This is the second time Ye Qinglan has heard the name Four Lanes and Seven Alleys. The last time she heard it was from Ye Qingfu. Everyone's expressions were very natural, and it was obvious that these places were very familiar to everyone.
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingrou made understanding expressions together.
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan and smiled casually: "You haven't been back for several years, but you still remember the four lanes and seven lanes. You have a good memory."
This topic is so dangerous.
Ye Qinglan responded with a calm smile: "I'm not afraid that Sixth and Eighth Sisters will laugh. In fact, I can't remember a lot of them. I only remember Ronghefang and Qinghefang."
Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou covered their mouths and smiled in unison.
Ye Qinglan simply begged shamelessly: "Anyway, you have time now, tell me! Otherwise, if people ask me, I don't know anything, and then I will be really embarrassed."
Ye Qingning was amused, and rarely had the patience to explain in detail: "The Four Lanes and Seven Alleys are the most famous places in the capital. The people who live in these places are the families of officials, who are either rich or noble. The Four Lanes are more beautiful than the Seven Alleys.
The famous ones are Huongfang, Qinghefang, Shilifang, and Yujingfang. Our Changyuan uncle's house is in Huongfang, Dingguogong's house is in Qinghefang, and my maternal grandfather's house is in Yujingfang." After a pause, he continued.
He smiled and added: "Sister-in-law's natal home is in Yong'an Lane. The scenery there is beautiful, you might as well go and see it if you have the chance."
The last sentence was deliberately making fun of Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan blushed slightly and spat at Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning didn't care at all, but pursed her lips and smiled.
The casual intimacy between them made Ye Qingrou's eyes grow hot. Not willing to be left alone, she also interrupted with a smile: "My maternal grandfather's family also lives in Fenghuang Lane, one of the seven lanes!"
Ye Qinglan smiled and praised: "This name is really nice."
A look of pride flashed across Ye Qingrou's eyes, and just as she was about to say something, she heard Ye Qingning sneer: "The name is indeed good, but it's a pity that it is the most deserted and remote among the four lanes and seven lanes. There are not many people living there with prominent families.
Most of them are the family members of Sesame Mung Bean Officials. I don’t know which meddlesome person actually included Phoenix Alley into the Four Lanes and Seven Alleys.”
These words are harsh and sarcastic.
Ye Qingrou's face turned red with anger, and she retorted without thinking: "Don't look down on others just because your maternal grandfather's family is famous. It won't be too late to show off after you actually marry into Zheng Guogong's house."
This sentence hit Ye Qingning's pain point, and he immediately counterattacked with shame and anger: "I don't bother you to care about my affairs. However, even if I don't marry my cousin, it won't be your turn."
Ye Qingrou was angry, ashamed and annoyed, "You" didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Qinglan quickly changed the subject: "The carriage seems to have stopped. Is it here?"
Ye Qingning gained the upper hand in the verbal dispute and was in a great mood. Hearing this, he lifted the curtain and took a look, with a look on his face: "We have indeed arrived." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
