Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 220
There was a hint of impatience in Qiu Ling's voice. Although it was not obvious, the sensitive Zhiruo still noticed it and looked up with a faint smile on her face.

Today, Qiu Ling is wearing a pink top and a green skirt. With her beautiful facial features and fair skin, she looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. The little girl in pink she is holding on her hand is also a beauty. It is really dangerous for such a mother and daughter to be alone outside.

However, Zhiruo was secretly suspicious. This Qiu Ling didn't look like a spy at all, right?I couldn't hold my breath anymore. As soon as I arrived at someone else's house, my jealousy, disdain, and calculation were all written on my face, and I thought I hid it very well.Also, according to the news from Da Yuanfang, even if Qiu Ling did join any organization, or took refuge or served someone, it would not last long. With Qiu Ling's own qualifications, she could receive such a short period of spy training. To what extent can it be achieved?If she was the person behind the scenes, it would be fine to just let Qiu Ling play her true self. Of course, she wouldn't be allowed to know much.

On the other hand, the woman behind Qiu Ling, dressed as a maid, looked obedient and responsible, but Zhiruo felt even more strange. How could she make Qiu Ling "fall in love at first sight" and ask Qi Haotian for it?Everyone has a lot of maids like this.

What Zhiruo didn't know was that Qiu Ling only wanted to go to Beijing to find Shi Xin. She didn't want to live in Meizhuang, so how could she care about "going to someone else's house" or "living in a sojourn"?What's more, her uncle is the master of the two young masters of Meizhuang. If it is the Yin family who wants her, isn't this what she did when she was in Qi Haotian's mansion?From top to bottom, they were very polite to their mother and daughter, because everyone knew that Old Banshan had no children, and she was Old Man Banshan's only biological niece.

Because of this sense of superiority, Qiu Ling is gentle and quiet on the surface, but she is very arrogant in her heart. This is because she is jealous of Zhiruo's nobility, beauty and wealth, but is not willing to be inferior to Zhiruo. She secretly cursed in her heart, "A phoenix that fell into the water is not as good as a phoenix that fell into the water." Chicken" reasons.She was even more unhappy when she saw the old man in Banshan hugging Zhixuan. Her uncle had never hugged Ah Xing since they got married.

Qiu Ling quickly looked at the three sisters Zhiruo, then turned to the old man Banshan: "Uncle, are we here yet? Can't the carriage go directly to the house? It won't be a long walk, right?" This Meizhuang is a village. , I heard from Minghui that there are fields, rivers, and mountains in the back. It should be quite big, similar to their village, right?What kind of gate should be built at the entrance of this village?
Banshan old man is not a person who sticks to rules and cumbersome etiquette, but Qiu Ling seems not to notice that the pampering attitude of Zhiruo and others still makes him angry and embarrassed. If she is really an innocent and romantic little girl, that's it, but she does everything You’re a mother, okay?
"Girl Ruo," the old man in Banshan did not answer Qiu Ling, but introduced to Zhiruo: "This is my niece Qiu Ling and her daughter A Xing. Qiu Ling came out of the northwest not long ago, and she has no other relatives to rely on. You can follow me for the time being, they..." He was really embarrassed. It was normal for him to live in Meizhuang. What's the point of living with relatives?But……

Zhiruo smiled and said: "Sir, you are a heretic. I have said before that Meizhuang is your old home, and Mrs. Qiu is your niece, the sister of Ze'er and Hui'er. There is no need for a reason to live in Meizhuang." Qiu Ling is the biological niece of the old man in Banshan. As long as she has no evil intentions, Zhiruo is very welcome to stay here, let alone temporarily or permanently.

It is common for wealthy families to take in several relatives who have defected to the country, especially orphans and widowers. When Liu Yun defected to Zhenbei General's Mansion, didn't she live there for several years?In particular, the mistress of the house, Princess Qianxin, has always been generous with money. Liu Yun lives in a small courtyard by herself. Although the maids, monthly silver coins, and four-season clothes cannot be exactly the same as those of the serious mistress and girls in the house, they are still the same. There is no shortage, and it is much better than ordinary people.

Zhiruo was polite, but Qiu Ling didn't appreciate it, or in other words, she didn't care to appreciate it. She was angry with the old man in Banshan, angry that her uncle didn't give her any face in front of outsiders.Doesn't the phrase "she just came out of the northwest not long ago" make people laugh at her for being rustic?There are also "no other relatives to rely on" and "temporarily following". Does it mean that she is a burden, or does it make people sympathize with her and pity her?It was as if she, an orphan and a widower, had rushed to this village to live under someone else's roof.If she wanted to live under someone else's roof, she would choose to stay in Shifu in the capital or Qifu in the south of the Yangtze River. What would she do in this rural place far away from the bustling central area?
The Yin family members were still suspected of treason and had to hide low-key in a village in the outer suburbs. Why should she wrong herself and stay here?

Qiu Ling didn't respond for a while. Behind her, Yue Ji frowned slightly and gently tugged on her lower back. She didn't want Qiu Ling to be too absorbed in her mind and didn't notice, so she had to pinch Qiu Ling with a little more force. Ling's lower back made Qiu Ling exclaim "Ah".

"Ah - oh, oh, Miss Yin, right?" Fortunately, Qiu Ling's reaction was not slow, "Brother Ze and Brother Hui's sister? I like them two very much and take good care of them."

Mingze secretly curled his lips, taking care of him?How has she taken care of the two brothers?Well, when she wants to trick them or use them to get close to senior brother Shi Xin, she will play the role of a caring big sister. Of course, they don't need her care.

However, this was not the focus of his attention at the moment. What made his eyes darken was Yue Ji's little movements behind Qiu Ling, and the complex mixture of nervousness, fear and anger that flashed through Qiu Ling's eyes when she came back to look at Yue Ji. mood.This is the third time. He won’t get it wrong every time, right?
Zhiruo, who was already paying attention to Yue Ji, did not miss the interaction between Yue Ji and Qiu Ling. She couldn't help but secretly cursed: What a famous maid!Haha, what Qiu Ling got from Qi Haotian through the favor of the old man in Banshan is this kind of maid who is more "stern" than her mother?Zhiruo naturally didn't show what she was thinking in her heart, and she still had a smile on her face: "Thank you, Mrs. Qiu, for taking care of Ze'er and Hui'er along the way! Thank you very much! I already had people take care of Mrs. Qiu and A Xing when I knew they were coming. When you leave a small guest house, if you are missing something or if you need anything, Mrs. Qiu can ask the chief steward to ask for help. Of course, you can also ask me. "

"Thank you, Miss Yin," Qiu Ling tried her best to put on a gentle and polite smile. She still paid great attention to her image in front of her uncle, especially when she just found out that the old man in Banshan treated Zhiruo sisters more favorably than she and Ah Xing did. Much intimacy.

Banshan old man looked at the two people interacting and shook his head secretly. Qiu Ling was six or seven years older than Ruo Yatou. In terms of demeanor, demeanor, and conduct, she was far inferior to Ruo Yatou. There was a huge difference.However, it's not surprising when you think about it. One is the eldest daughter of a nobleman and the other is a country girl. Isn't there a huge difference between heaven and earth?

Now he only hopes that Zhiruo can look out for his face and personally, or let You's mother enlighten Qiu Ling, so that she can recognize the reality, settle down and find a solid and reliable man, and give their mother and daughter a stable home. , How can a rich family’s concubine be so easy to make?In particular, Qiu Ling also brought a "oil bottle" Ah Xing.In his opinion, as long as a man is good, it doesn't matter if he is poor. He still has some assets. When the time comes, it is his wish to prepare a generous dowry for his niece.Anyway, he had no children, he didn't need much money, and he had three very filial disciples.

The reunion dinner was held in the front hall, with men and women at each table. The dishes were rich and exquisite, and the order of serving, the maids' arrangement of dishes, and the service were all very particular. It actually made Qiu Ling feel a little contemptuous, and secretly she was so thin. The camel is bigger than the horse.As Yue Ji said, the confidence of the princess family is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The title of Princess Qianxin has not been taken away yet. The Yin family siblings are still the children of the "late Princess Qianxin".

However, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Yueji asked her to please Miss Yin and establish a good relationship with Miss Yin, which might be useful in the future, and maybe help her enter Shi Mansion as she wished. Shi Xin was not coming to Luo City at the end of November. Want to congratulate the old man from Banshan on his birthday?I'll stay in Meizhuang for at least a night or two. With Miss Yin's help, many things will be much more convenient.

She initially listened, but was shaken the moment she saw Yin Zhiruo. Yin Zhiruo was younger, more beautiful, and richer than her. The two stood together to compare. What would Shi Xin do if he fell in love with Yin Zhiruo?That's why she thought of giving Yin Zhiruo a slap in the face, letting Yin Zhiruo know that she was the most beloved and closest niece of the old man in Banshan, and she was not someone to be bullied.Only by giving Yin Zhiruo and the people in Meizhuang an impression of her being superior from the beginning will Yin Zhiruo not dare to compete with her for Shi Xin.

But what she didn't expect was that it was her uncle who was trying to undermine her.

After dinner, Zhiruo asked someone to take Qiu Ling, her daughter, and the three masters and servants to the newly built guest house "Aomei Pavilion" in a small carriage specially used in the village.The main body of the pony carriage is made of solid ebony. The windows are large, inlaid with bright glass, and matched with lotus-colored curtains.The seats in the carriage are covered with comfortable cushions, and there are also several large and small soft pillows, which should be used for people to lean on.In the middle of the car is a small round table fixed on the car, with tea and snacks on it.

This was the first time Qiu Ling saw such an exquisite and beautiful carriage, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I really enjoy it! But it's not practical, right? Glass is an easily broken and precious thing." She was the first in Qi Mansion. This is the first time I've seen glass, and it's never this big.

Xiao Liuzi, who was driving the carriage, said with a smile: "There are only two of these carriages. They are specially built for viewing the scenery. They are only used in the village and are not used outside. They were only built a few days ago. Madam Qiu, you are the first to use this carriage for guests." Guests of the sightseeing carriage." The big glass was bought by Liang Dahai at a huge price from a maritime merchant when he went to the south as a escort. The eldest girl immediately had these two "sightseeing carriages" bought.
