Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 143
(two chapters and one chapter)
Fifth Miss just stood there in a daze, watching Qing Huan follow Wang Qiang into the crowd.Then I heard Qing Huan congratulating the third girl.

"What did Seventh Sister tell you?"

Another voice suddenly sounded beside him.

The fifth girl moved her feet slightly, and she smiled at the fourth girl who came to her side at some unknown time: "I don't know what it means, I just asked me..."

The fourth girl stared at the fifth girl: "What do you want to ask?"

"...What's wrong with fourth sister?" Fifth girl looked over in confusion.

"No..." Xu Shi also noticed that his attitude was a little urgent.

Fourth Miss smiled and said: "Seventh Younger Sister is not in the mansion these days, I want to know if she is doing well now."

Fifth Miss used to be very close to Fourth Miss, so when Fourth Miss and Qing Huan got close for a while, she even annoyed Qing Huan because of it.

But people always grow and change.

It's not just the fifth girl who has changed, everyone is changing, especially the fourth girl.

Miss Wu could see that, and her heart for her also faded.Now that the fourth girl suddenly talks like this, she is not really a fool.If Seventh Sister is okay, just ask her directly.

Why bother to ask yourself.

Besides, Seventh Younger Sister only spoke a few words to herself, so she could know something.

Obviously uneasy...

The fifth girl's eyes flashed, and she faintly understood what the fourth girl meant.

It seems that Seventh Sister did not tell Fourth Sister about the Qionghua Banquet.Although the fifth girl didn't know why, she wanted to hide it subconsciously, so that the fourth girl would not know.

Thinking of this, fifth girl said softly: "Isn't it about the third sister's marriage? Seventh sister also asked about it by the way..." Fifth girl blushed suddenly, and looked at fourth girl with some embarrassment.

The fourth girl thought about it, and knew that there was not much difference in age among the people, and that the third sister was married now, and the seventh sister might also ask about the fifth sister's marriage.

Thinking of this, the fourth girl suddenly felt bored, she just nodded to the fifth girl, and went into the crowd again.

Yan Jun was kept by Yan Wei's side.

Yan Wei instructed in a low voice: "Wait a minute, there are too many people, the fourth brother will only follow behind me."

"Brother, you are really partial, you only love the fourth brother." Before Yan Jun could speak, someone beside him said sourly.

Yan Wei suddenly blushed.

That person is right, they are all younger brothers, and as the eldest brother, of course he has to take care of them, but...

Yan Jun pouted secretly.

"What's the matter, who told our fourth brother Bingxue to be cute." Another voice sounded.

The former speaker was Aunt Qing's son Yan Ke, and the latter one was Fourth Miss' elder brother.

Yan Jun said puzzledly: "The two elder brothers are also afraid, so why don't you come and hide behind the elder brother?"

As Yan Jun spoke, she gave up her seat in a manner of speaking, and stepped back, just enough for two people to stand.

Yan Ke and Yan Xuan's expressions changed a few times, and they looked at Yan Jun with hatred.

Yan Wei frowned and blocked Yan Jun behind him.

Someone in the crowd suddenly laughed, and then burst into laughter as if they had agreed.

Today was a happy event for the Yan family, so the movements of Yan Wei and the others were naturally noticed.

Yan Jun's words are interesting, but why are Yan Ke and Yan Ke willing to hide behind Yan Wei on such days.Maybe they didn't dare before, but since Yan Wei was imprisoned, the two of them disrespected Yan Wei more and more.

Yan Wei knew in his heart that on the one hand, he was honest and didn't care about his younger brother, and on the other hand, he had a low self-esteem. The prison disaster in those days was not without shadows.

Everyone's laughter reached Yan Ke's eyes, and it was full of ridicule.

Yan Ke's complexion changed, and suddenly he looked like Yan Jun again.

The atmosphere suddenly suffocated.

Yan Jun clenched her fists, took a few steps back, and took precautions.

Leshan Leshui also quickly ran to Yan Jun's side.

Even if something happened to him, the young master couldn't be hurt.

"The person who greets the relatives is here."

Yan Wei had never thought that this voice was so pleasant, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the two younger brothers, seeing that although they were unwilling, they had suppressed their temper anyway, so he was a little relieved.

Wang Shouxin married a stepwife, but Gu Er just walked in with a serious face. If he wasn't all dressed in red, he wouldn't be able to tell at all that he was the groom who came to marry.

It's just that everyone knows it well, but they won't expose it in person.

Not only the outside, but also the people inside the house did not make trouble with the groom.

It can be said that this time's marriage was really quiet and smooth compared with the second girl's.

Everyone didn't want to make trouble, they just hoped to get married off smoothly.

After the sedan chair was carried away, Qing Huan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, the eldest lady brought a message from Mrs. Yan.

Qing Huan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "I promised my grandfather to stay here for a while, my grandfather finally met Jun'er once, and he loved it very much. The two of them read and talked in the study every day, even if I couldn't get involved. "

Yan Jun couldn't leave without her, and Qing Huan naturally wouldn't leave Cheng's mansion first.

Although a little disappointed, the eldest wife has already been mentally prepared, and she won't be unable to accept this reason.It's just that she eased her tone and let Qing Huan find some time to remember to come back.

Qing Huan naturally responded with a smile.

When Qing Huan returned to Cheng's residence, she was dragged by Mrs. Xu to prepare her clothes.

"Auntie, I have enough clothes." Qing Huan looked helplessly at a group of people working around her.

Xu Shi and Li Wanyin looked at several bundles of cloth without raising their heads, and were choosing which one to use for new clothes.

"What's the matter? We're not a poor family, and we're not making new clothes today, so we won't be able to cook and eat tomorrow. Besides... I know your cages, and there are not many of them anyway," Xu thought. Liao thought about it and said to Li Wanyin: "I see that some of the materials are good, or I can make new clothes if I can't count them all."

Just as Qing Huan was about to refuse, she heard Li Wanyin laughingly said: "Isn't that the reason, I just looked at it and couldn't figure it out for a while. Anyway, I don't need this much money, I just need to make clothes."

Li Wanyin was sympathetic, and Qing Huan gave Cheng Yue a few small clothes, although the embroidery was average, but the stitches were fine, and she put a lot of painstaking effort into it.Li Wanyin felt good in her heart, and knew that these were just a few pieces of material, so she couldn't care less, besides, Cheng Jingxin really regarded Qing Huan as a younger sister like Cheng Ao'er, Li Wanyin was naturally happy to let Cheng Jingxin see that she was the same as him.

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "I don't need these money. I still have a lot of good materials. I'll make some for you later."

Li Wanyin laughed and said, "That's a good relationship. If the mother-in-law wants to choose jewelry, she must call the daughter-in-law together."

Xu looked at Li Wanyin puzzled, although she really thought so in her heart, but if Li Wanyin took the initiative to say that, she didn't know what it meant?
Li Wanyin covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother-in-law is generous, but today she is just accompanying you to show your cousin to make new clothes, and the daughter-in-law will only get a few pieces. If in the future..."

Xu understood everything when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Those things of mine can't escape your eyes."

Li Wanyin grinned.

Most of Xu's dowry was given to Cheng Ao'er, but there were still some private houses. When Cheng Ao'er got married, Xu found out Cheng Jingxin and Li Wanyin, and said that the private houses she left in the future would be for their children.

……

"Is it raining?"

Qing Huan opened her eyes and looked out the window.

"Isn't it? It started to fall in the middle of the night, girl doesn't know?" Man Cao said as she took off her clothes and helped Qing Huan to get up.

Qing Huan shook her head: "I slept soundly yesterday."

It was only last night that I learned from Le Shan Le Shui what happened on the day the third girl came out of the court. When I thought of Jun'er who was being bullied, and the two so-called cousins ​​who were bullying the younger.

Qing Huan wished she could take the carriage directly to Yan's residence.

If Yan Jun didn't know that Leshan Leshan was called by Qing Huan, what happened that day would definitely not be able to escape, so she specially asked Cheng Jingxin to come and persuade her.

Qing Huan was afraid that she would sleep even later last night.

But it was only in the middle of the night that he fell asleep.

In the beginning, the constant dreaming, over and over again, is what happened in the previous life.

Fell into the water, and then went to Beijing with Yahuan, Yahuan married into Uncle Ruyang's mansion, Yan Jun, who had failed her studies, was Yahuan who was in great difficulty in Uncle Ruyang's mansion.

Images flashed one by one, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was dawn and I heard the sound of rain.

"Girl, can you drink some water?" When Youyuan walked in, she heard Qing Huan's voice was a bit hoarse.

Qing Huan nodded.

Youyuan poured water.

Qing Huan took a sip and drank a few more gulps when she saw that it was warm water, only to feel her throat feel better.

"I ate millet porridge today. The mother in charge in the kitchen took some side dishes and said they are family-owned. They taste very good. I heard that the old man in the mansion also likes it very much."

The old man is old man Cheng.

Qing Huan was somewhat interested.

Pale yellow millet porridge served with refreshing side dishes.

Qing Huan suddenly felt her appetite whetted, and she ate two small bowls in a row.

If it wasn't for the vines that couldn't see it, they stopped it.

Qing Huan thinks it's okay to use another bowl.

"Young lady, it's true, even if it's delicious, you can't eat so much at one time. What if you accumulate food." Linglu presented a bowl of porcelain cup.

Qing Huan took a sip and looked at her.

Ling Lu smiled and said: "Sour plum soup, but you can't drink too much."

Qing Huan smiled, after Aunt Liu left, Mancao and Linglu developed more and more like Aunt Liu, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, this is not allowed, that is not allowed.

Qing Huan thought about it and found that she was also happy, so she didn't care.

It's nice to be cared about.

I don't know if Aunt Liu is doing well now, what if Mr. Wu bullies Aunt Liu?
If you want, you can come back, the big deal is to be a managing mother.

Just as Qing Huan was thinking, she heard Mancao's voice: "Mother Xia, why are you here?"

Qing Huan was startled, and hurriedly looked up, seeing that it was Mama Xia, she immediately put down the porcelain cup and stood up to move forward.

"Mother Xia, why are you here? It's raining outside." Then she looked behind her, feeling strange.Although Xia's mother is just a servant.

But Cheng Jingxin has a good relationship with Rong Chen, it's impossible for the people in Cheng's mansion not to know Mama Xia's status in Rong's mansion and Princess Mansion, so why did Mama Xia come here alone.

"Don't look, it's what I mean." Xia's mother said with a smile: "It's not a serious identity, there are so many rules, this time, I have something to ask you, you come with me .”

Qing Huan was taken aback.

Immediately, she understood what Mama Xia meant, and hurriedly looked at Mancao Linglu.

The maidservants were also taken aback.

There are outfits for going out, and home decorations for home.

Qing Huan's current attire is not suitable for going out.

"Mother Xia, sit down first."

"Sweet and strong tea."

After Qing Huan finished speaking in a hurry, she went into the back room. Although she didn't know what Mama Xia's purpose was, there was no reason for her to wait.One day as a teacher, this respect must be given.

When Qing Huan came out from the back room again, she had already changed into another outfit.

Mama Xia nodded in satisfaction.

Since she was going to leave the mansion, Qing Huan first went to report to Mrs. Xu.

After knowing what Mama Xia meant, Mrs. Xu didn't stop her.

After getting into the carriage, Qing Huan asked belatedly: "Mother Xia, where are we going?" "

Qing Huan wanted to bring vines with her on this trip, but Xia's mother stopped her.

Because of her trust in Mama Xia, Qing Huan didn't think much about leaving Cheng's mansion with Mama Xia.

Mother Xia smiled but didn't reply.

Qing Huan was worried, but she couldn't show it on her face, she just forced a smile.

When the carriage stopped, Qing Huan was completely stunned.

"This is?"

Qing Huan was shocked, she naturally knew where this place was.

Qing Huan has been here before.

How did you come to Princess Danyang's Mansion?

While Qing Huan was puzzled, she remembered that she had received an invitation to the Qionghua Banquet a few days ago. Could it be that Princess Danyang had something for herself to do.

But can't you?
Qing Huan felt strange that what identity she was, she said that she was just an orphan girl.

Anyone who can go to the Qionghua Banquet is not a wealthy person, even if there is something to do, it is not appropriate to do it by yourself.

"Mother Xia?" Qing Huan couldn't figure it out and just looked at Mother Xia eagerly, without feeling ashamed. Mother Xia was also someone who watched her grow up.

In the face of absolute power, it is nothing to lower your posture occasionally.

What happened to Princess Danyang, she asked Mama Xia to call her over. She was even more mysterious when she was in the Cheng Mansion. If Mama Xia didn't know, Qing Huan wouldn't believe it.

But Mother Xia just shook her head without explaining.

Qing Huan had no choice but to follow Mama Xia into the green-curtained sedan chair.

After the sedan chair stopped, she followed Mother Xia to the house she had visited last time.

It's just that Qing Huan brought Jun'er over last time.

This time he came alone.

The princess is having breakfast alone, but the consort Wangtang seems to be absent.

I heard earlier that Wang Tang and Princess Danyang are very affectionate and often eat and sleep together.

"sit."

Princess Danyang pointed to the Xiaozhu that had been placed in front of her.

Qing Huan took a few steps forward and saluted: "Thank you, princess." Then she sat down.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Qing Huan was startled, and secretly looked outside.

this hour?

"I have already used it. I have a good appetite in the morning. I ate two bowls of millet porridge in a row. If the servant girl didn't stop me, I'm afraid the princess will see a person with a big belly belching." Qing Huan thought about it and wanted to laugh He said: "After using it, I also drank a bowl of sour plum soup. It is refreshing to drink now, and my appetite feels better."

Princess Danyang's eyes flashed, then she smiled and said, "You are honest."

Qing Huan blushed and sat upright with her hands on her knees.

"How old?"

Qing Huan was stunned again, thought for a while and said, "I'm 14 years old."

"When is your birthday?"

"April."

"It's a good time." Princess Danyang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Next year will be Jidi."

Qing Huan answered in a low voice.

"I heard that Jun'er is going to take the exam next year."

Qing Huan thought about the last time they met, she saw that Princess Danyang liked Jun'er very much, and I heard that it was because of Rong Chen.It seems that it is true, this time knowing that Jun'er is going to take the exam, I am afraid it was Rong Chen who said it.

"Yes, Jun'er will be ten years old next year. Mr. means to give it a try, even if you don't succeed, it's enough to accumulate experience."

That's not what sir said.

Princess Danyang gave Qing Huan a meaningful look.

Qing Huan didn't know it, because she was afraid of offending Princess Danyang, she kept her head slightly lowered and didn't dare to lift it up, so she didn't see Mama Xia's expression.

Princess Danyang nodded to Mama Xia.

Xia's mother smiled and said: "Is the princess going to the son-in-law's mansion?"

Princess Danyang said: "The son-in-law will go first..."

In other words, Princess Danyang is also going to pass.

Seeing this, Qing Huan hurriedly got up and prepared to leave, but she thought in her heart that it was no wonder the son-in-law hadn't been there just now.

"Very good, let's prepare a talent for the Qionghua Banquet."

Princess Danyang didn't care how surprised Qing Huan was by her words, and said to Xia's mother after she finished speaking: "Send her back."

Mama Xia responded.

Qing Huan followed Mama Xia and left.

It wasn't until she got back into the carriage that Qing Huan regained her composure.

It's just that at the same time, I wonder what Princess Danyang's intention is for calling me over this time.

Just to watch her have breakfast?
Qing Huan shook her head, even thinking about it was impossible.

If you want to prepare yourself for a talent, just let someone come over and talk about it. Even if you feel bad, it is a kind of grace for Xia's mother to come over.

Why did you say such a word to yourself?

"Don't think too much." Xia's mother looked at Qing Huan frowning, shaking her head and tilting her head, and said softly: "The princess will never harm you, and you are about the same age. The last time I went there , you don’t need to prepare for talent when you’re still young. But this time it’s necessary, you can’t let those people in your house help you think about your marriage.”

Naturally not.

Even if they were willing, Qing Huan would not.

Qing Huan said: "Yes, Mama Xia, I know."

After figuring it out, Qing Huan simply asked Mother Xia to ask about the usual situation at the Qionghua Banquet.

Qing Huan's goal is not to overachieve, nor to lag behind.

If you want to know yourself and the enemy, you can only ask Mama Xia for help.

Xia's mother pursed her lips, looking at Qing Huan who regained her energy, she was happy to tell her what she knew in detail, and besides that, she also mentioned the people who would also go to the Qionghua Banquet this time.

The carriage passed by, and Rong Chen looked at the gate of the princess mansion, a little puzzled.
