Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 40

After walking out of Bi Luo Yuan, Qing Huan glanced back and said to Mancao, "Let's go back."

If Qing Huan was right, someone from Rongshou Hall would come and invite her siblings over later.It seems that Mama Xia who came out of the Princess Mansion really attracted the attention of the entire Yan Mansion. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other choice, I wouldn't want to enter their sight too early.

It's just that Yan Jun can't delay any longer, the fourth sister and the others speak lightly, and they often mention that Jun'er is still young, why don't they think that Jun'er is as old as the third master in the house.Although Qing Huan only met those brothers a few times after entering the mansion, she also knew that the sons of the third master Aunt Qing in the mansion had already entered school last year.At that time, he was still a year younger than Jun'er, let alone the uncle and second grandfather who were born to the first wife and the second wife.

Yan Jun was waiting at the door, and when she saw her sister coming back, she ran over happily.

"Sister, come in quickly."

Yan Jun waited for Qing Huan, then dragged her to the main room.

Although Qing Huan was puzzled, she felt a little indulgent towards the younger brother who had just returned, so she trotted along with him.

"This is...?" Qing Huan cast her eyes on the creeper that ran in behind her.

Mancao shook her head, she didn't know about it either.

Qing Huan nodded, presumably someone brought her over when Mancao came to pick her up in Biluoyuan.There was a long brocade box on the table where lunch should have been placed.

This person is also strange.Qing Huan secretly thought that she didn't stay long in Bi Luo Yuan, why didn't she wait for her to come back first.But who sent it here? Qing Huan bowed her head, she basically didn't know anyone in the capital, Liu Qixiu from Zhonglehou Mansion could be considered as one of them.

but..Qing Huan frowned, he and her just met each other once.

Qing Huan couldn't figure it out, so she stepped forward to open the brocade box.

Yan Jun wanted to read it a long time ago, if he hadn't waited for his sister to come back, he would have opened it and peeked a long time ago.

"Huh..." Mancao whispered.

Inside one of the two brocade boxes was a piece of bright red silk and a food box was pressed on it, while on the other brocade box Qing Huan and Mancao couldn't figure it out, how could someone send a gift list and a teacup? Woolen cloth.Even if you want to send it, there should be a matching teapot.Mancao reached out and turned it over, trying to see if it was covered by other things.

It's just a few teacups.

Qing Huan pursed her lips.

"The girl is back, and the food is still hot." Aunt Liu followed Ling Lu, and the two came in with trays in their hands.

Seeing this, Mancao hurriedly closed the brocade box and carried it aside.

"The uncle sent it over after Mancao left." Aunt Liu explained aloud.

uncle..

Qing Huan didn't feel that she and him were familiar with sending these brocade boxes, could it be... .Thinking of a person, Qing Huan suddenly felt dizzy.

"Let's eat first." Qing Huan looked around at the people in the room and said lightly.

Linglu saw it, and hurriedly said: "The people from Rongshoutang came over and said that the old lady didn't know where a piece of jewelry could be found. I want sister Xia Cao to help find it. The old lady is in a hurry. Xia Sister Cao asked me to tell the girl that I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before lunch."

Hearing this, Qing Huan just bent her lips.

Man Cao took a look at Ling Lu, and Ling Lu immediately shut up and served the two of them together.

There is a small kitchen in this yard, since we moved here.Qing Huan stopped eating food from the big kitchen, and reported to the old lady that she was in poor health, and the doctor said some things to pay attention to when eating again.In order not to be troublesome, I only invited people from the big kitchen to help buy rice, but people in my own yard did it.

Most people in Yan Mansion love greasy food, but Qing Huan, who has lived in Yuhang for a long time, prefers the taste there.

It's just that Aunt Liu and the others will never eat at the same table with Qing Huan and siblings again.Qing Huan knew in her heart that it was because of the addition of a summer grass, and it was also because although she was still alone in the courtyard now, she came to the courtyard in the middle of the Yan Mansion from a remote place.If someone sees it, I'm afraid there will be another gossip.

Qing Huan had no appetite, moved her chopsticks hastily a few times, and then stopped.

"Is it because today's dishes are not well done? How about I make some girls' favorite dishes." Aunt Liu couldn't help but frowned when she saw that Qing Huan ate less.

Qing Huan shook her head, took the teacup Ling Lu was holding, and took a sip.

After Qing Huan and his brother had finished their meal, Xia Cao hadn't come back yet.

Qing Huan thought for a while and wanted to attract Ling Lu to whisper a few words.

Ling Lu nodded and walked out quietly.

"Girl, what about these brocade boxes?" Mancao asked.

Qing Huan thought for a while and said to Aunt Liu: "Jun'er is about to start painting red, Auntie, please take him to the small study."

Jun'er pursed her mouth and looked at Qing Huan aggrievedly.

Qing Huan ignored it.

Aunt Liu took Jun'er away.

Soon, Linglu came back with an excited look on his face.

"Girl, you guessed right. Mother Xia just returned to the yard."

"Why are you so blah?" Mancao quietly glanced at Qinghuan, and softly reprimanded Linglu.

Ling Lu sticks out her tongue and laughs embarrassedly.

Qing Huan said with a smile: "Mancao is also for your own good. If those people see your appearance like this, then you will really have a delicious meal."

Qing Huan is from the Yan Mansion, so even though Mancao and the others' deeds of prostitution are all with her, not in the Yan Mansion.But others will also regard them as servants of the Yan family, if there are some mistakes in behavior, they can indeed be taught a lesson.This is also what Qing Huan was worried about, which made Mancao remind Ling Lu to pay attention from time to time.Unless he is determined to completely fall out with the Yan Mansion, it is impossible to stop these.

If it's just a breakup, now is not the time.

Qing Huan stood up and said, "You each carry a brocade box and follow me to Rongshou Hall."

Ling Lu wanted to ask, Mancao pulled her and muttered a few words in a low voice, Ling Lu immediately picked up the brocade box honestly.

After leaving the courtyard, Qing Huan deliberately passed the main courtyard. Qing Huan stopped at the door, and soon went straight to Rongshou Hall.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Chun Zhi coming out with a smile.

"Miss Seven, why are you here?" His eyes paused on Linglu and Mancao behind him, and then he said with a smile: "I originally called Xiacao here to find a hairpin, but she used to look at those old lady's jewelry. Thinking about not being able to come all the time in the future, Xia Cao simply counted the jewelry at once, and let Qiuye who took over know where to put it."

Chun Zhi has a good relationship with Xia Cao, and this is secretly speaking for her.Although Xia Cao was only someone the old lady temporarily put by Si Ye's side to serve him, she would call her back in the future.However, Chun Zhi knew that if he really had this plan in the past, but what happened in the past two days, the old lady might have the idea of ​​letting Xia Cao stay by Si Ye's side for a long time.Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially called Xia Cao back and said so many things.

"That's what it should be." Qing Huan said with a smile: "I have something to do with the old lady. I wonder if the old lady has taken a nap?"

"Then I'll go to Baoxia to have a look." Chun Zhi welcomed Qing Huan to sit in the main room, but he didn't intend to invite her into Baoxia.

Qing Huan remained silent, nodded to Chun Zhi, and sat on a chair drinking tea.

Chunzhi called the little maid to serve Seventh Girl, while he ran into the Baosha.

Qing Huan lowered her head, and vaguely heard voices coming from the Baosha.

After the cup of tea was finished, the little maid refilled another cup.Chun Zhi just came out, but said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "The old lady is asleep, do you want to wait, Miss?"

As soon as the words fell, Chun Zhi saw the momentary astonishment on Qing Huan's face, and bit his lip. Although he knew what he said was wrong, there was nothing he could do.

"Give some tea fruits to Miss Seven." Chun Zhi said with a smile: "The Zhonglehou Mansion sent someone to send a small basket of kumquats to the old lady. The old lady likes to eat, so she only gave a little to Miss Seven. The girl should also try it, I heard it is very delicious."

Qing Huan got up and declined anxiously: "Since the old lady likes it, there is no need to use it. I am drinking tea."

Chunzhi thought for a while and agreed.

Waited for about an hour.

Chunzhi hurriedly entered the Baosha again, came out after a while and said: "The old lady got up, and she is talking to the eldest lady." After thinking about it, she said unnaturally: "The eldest lady is tired today. .”

Qing Huan said understandingly: "This is what it should be."

The curtains parted.

As soon as Qing Huan entered the Baosha, she saw the eldest lady who was neatly dressed and had several golden hairpins on her head. The old lady was leaning on the bed, and she only wore a forehead wipe on her forehead.

Besides, there was no one else in the room, neither Mama Cui nor Mama Wang.

"Qing Huan pays respects to the old lady and eldest lady." Qing Huan bowed her knees and bowed her head, lowering her eyebrows to hide the sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Why are you here?" the old lady asked with a smile.

Chun Zhi stepped forward to help Qing Huan get up.

Qing Huan said meekly: "When I went back, I saw two brocade boxes sent by the uncle. The maids were stupid and didn't ask about it."

The eldest wife's eyes have been staring at the two brocade boxes since Qing Huan and his party came in.

"Was it from Wei'er?" The eldest lady stood up.

Mancao and Linglu hurriedly opened the brocade box they were holding in their hands.

The eldest lady took a few glances, feeling a little puzzled in her heart.

Wencao and Linglu tilted the brocade boxes on purpose, and the old lady who was leaning on the slum was also able to see clearly the contents of the two brocade boxes at a glance.

"What's the name of the uncle, you are more polite, just follow the second girl and the others."

Qing Huan nodded and said puzzledly: "I should have asked the elder brother directly. It's just that there is a difference between the inside and the outside. I can only ask the old lady first."

"That's the reason." The old lady agreed.

Of course, the eldest wife didn't want the third bedroom to have any friendship with her son.

It's just that they knew who sent the brocade box.

After all, that person was brought here with great fanfare, and he had no intention of hiding anything.

Thinking of the identity of that person, both the old lady and the eldest lady felt a little headache.

"Have you ever had friendship with anyone in the mansion outside?" asked the eldest lady.

"Outside?" Qing Huan's face was full of doubts. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized: "Are you talking about Sister Liu? But that's just seeing her once."

"It's strange, Sister Liu doesn't ask people to leave a letter, it's not like her. Could it be that the second sister and the others are also like this, or I'll go and ask later." Qing Huan muttered softly Xiao just made everyone in the room hear him.

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady.

The eldest wife said quickly: "Your elder sister Liu is busy embroidering dowry these days, where is the time?"
