Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 68 Snooping

The second wife was a little dissatisfied with the third girl's interruption, and was about to reprimand her.

I saw the eldest lady winking again.

Thinking of the second girl, the old lady softened her heart and gave the second wife a look.

After a while, a servant woman came in, and the banquet ahead was about to begin.Everyone in the room was more or less relieved.

The eldest lady ordered someone to lift her shoulders, Qiu Ye helped the old lady sit on the sedan chair, and a group of people walked towards the banquet place in a mighty manner to meet the old lady.

Cheng Ao'er pulled Qing Huan to the end, looked at the fourth girl in front of her, and muttered in a low voice: "Did the fourth girl of your house hit her head against the door recently?"

Although the fourth girl was walking ahead, she deliberately slowed down her pace and sneaked a few glances behind her from time to time.

"What are you looking at, you haven't answered me yet." Cheng Ao'er pushed.

Qing Huan said: "I don't know what."

Cheng Ao'er didn't believe it: "Don't pretend, I still don't know you. I have a lot of tricks, and I don't know if I look like an aunt or an uncle." Cheng Ao'er will never forget that when he first met this cousin, he really treated her like a child, but Unexpectedly, this cousin helped me get through the dark losses I encountered a few times later.

But as soon as these words were finished, Cheng Ao'er suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly looked at Qing Huan apologetically.

Qing Huan shook her head. In fact, she was no longer sad about her parents leaving, but she still wanted to seek justice in retrospect.It's just that I also know that my strength is insignificant now, and the most important thing is to protect Yan Jun.

"By the way, brother Jun'er's burden will be handed over to the maid beside me later." Cheng Ao'er said softly.

Qing Huan nodded, when she left just now, Yan Wei took Jun'er to the front.Cheng Jingxin is also here today, and when he leaves, he will take Jun'er away together.

As for Yan Jun, Qing Huan also hoped that her grandfather could take a look at her. From the look of her cousin, she could tell that she was taught well by her grandfather.But Yan Jun couldn't compare to her cousin's conditions, so she could only look for opportunities.

Seeing something suddenly, Qing Huan smiled slightly, tilted her head and began to look at Qi Cheng Ao'er.

Cheng Ao'er was used to being careless, and when she saw this, she just smiled and said: "What's the matter, I just found out."

Cheng Ao'er practiced martial arts with her elder brother since she was a child, Gu Er usually wears a simple and simple line of clothing, but today she is wearing a red jacket and skirt with a bun on her temples, and a silver phoenix hairpin is inserted obliquely into it.

"I found out a long time ago." Thinking about it, Qing Huan called Xiang Nong over again, and asked her for a handkerchief, which was extra.

"Did sister not have a handkerchief?" Qing Huan handed it over.

Cheng Ao'er pursed her lips, and didn't mind taking the handkerchief and smiled at Xiang Nong to express her gratitude. "You know, I'm not used to wearing them on weekdays, but my mother insists on me wearing these clothes, and I don't think I'm not Yan Yahuan."

Mancao and others behind him all smiled when they heard Cheng Aoer's words.

Qing Huan glanced back, Mancao quickly put away her smile and took two steps back to follow.

"My aunt asked my sister to change her clothes. A transparent person like my sister should know why." Qing Huan looked at the people in front of her. "Sister forgot, the fourth girl is about the same age as you." It is said that they are similar, but in fact the fourth girl is only more than a month younger than Cheng Ao'er.

"No way." Cheng Ao'er exclaimed.

"What's the matter..." Xu asked, who had been paying attention.

Unexpectedly, she received her cousin's blank stare, Cheng Ao'er quickly waved her hand, "Mother, it's nothing, my cousin and I are chatting for fun."

Meeting the eyes of the fourth girl, Qing Huan also smiled and said: "My cousin is telling me about her martial arts."

Seeing this, the fourth girl had no choice but to give up. Although she wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Cheng Ao'er, the old lady would not be happy about the topic of martial arts. Qing Huan's voice just now was not too loud, but it happened to be heard by the old lady .

Cheng Ao'er also noticed that many people wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, so she had to keep her voice down. "How could it be? She can't have a crush on brother."

Qing Huan didn't know, and she didn't look like her, it wasn't a matter of whether Cheng Jingxin was good or not.Speaking of which, this cousin is very talented and has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although he is not talking about Wen Tao and Wu Lue, he is also capable of both civil and martial arts.It's just that she has always married a daughter high and a daughter-in-law low, and the second girl seems to be living a bad life now.The old lady now puts a lot of expectations on the fourth girl.A grandson of the servant's family should still look down on him, but if it's the fourth girl's idea. Qing Huan thinks of the Qingyun dream that the fourth girl once said, but she doesn't feel like it.

Before, there were rumors about himself and his cousin in the mansion, but there was still a relationship with a cousin.But the fourth girl is nothing, even if she wants to.Thinking about coming to his uncle's house, he would definitely not want to, if it wasn't for the presence of his siblings in Yan's house.Uncle and the others didn't seem to mention it.

Cheng Ao'er is also aware of this, although she feels that Miss Yan Si is not good enough for her brother.

The two of them couldn't think of the reason for a while, but it was really uncomfortable to know that the fourth girl had schemes against them.

In the past, Ya Huan got married early, and after arriving at Uncle Ruyang's mansion, she seldom paid attention to the affairs of Yan Mansion.As time goes by, some things about the Yan Mansion are not very clear.But Qing Huan only vaguely remembered that the third girl was engaged this year.But now everything has changed, maybe these will be different.

A group of people came to the garden, and the birthday banquet was held in a rest building in the garden, so they didn't have to worry about rain or sun exposure.

"Yage." Cheng Ao'er read the plaque on the gate. "You said that when my uncle named the eldest cousin, it was because of this reason."

Qing Huan was noncommittal. After his father left, these problems were unsolvable.However, in Qing Huan's memory, her father and mother really loved her sister and herself very much, and would not think otherwise just because she was a girl and not a boy.

The eldest lady arrived first and was talking to several ladies. When she saw the old lady come in, she hurriedly took people to greet her.

The old lady was ushered to the first place, and the fourth girl followed and sat beside her.

Facing everyone's questions, the old lady smiled and said: "My granddaughter is very filial, she always takes care of me, and I can't live without her."

"The old lady is blessed, and the granddaughter is filial."

"Yeah, yeah, I think it looks good again, I don't know if it's settled or not?"

The wives present said one after another, and the old lady smiled and said, "I want to stay for two more years. Gu Er hasn't made a decision yet, but the destination of my daughter's family must always be decided." After saying this, the fourth girl blushed, With his head down, he still helped the old lady serve vegetables.

However, the moods of the eldest wife and the second wife who were watching were completely different.

In the past, this was only the treatment of the second girl, but I didn't expect to change another candidate in less than two months.

The old lady likes to be lively, so she only lets the ladies who come here have a lot of chatting,

The ladies chatted in twos and threes, and those who were interested even asked the eldest wife to inquire about the news.

Xu's side also had many wives who went to chat with each other, and their eyes glanced over from time to time.

Cheng Ao'er was bored and could only chat with Qing Huan.

The two were talking about interesting things, but they forgot about others for a while.

The sleeves were slightly pulled, and Qing Huan suddenly looked up and saw the fourth girl walking over with her sisters and some girls whom she had met several times but were not familiar with.

The fourth girl wanted to listen to what they had to say, but the two of them immediately shut up when they saw her coming.

"Seventh sister, grandma asked me to take a few girls to Qiufeng Building."

Qing Huan was noncommittal, just nodded.

"Seventh Sister, Fourth Sister asked us to go to Qiufeng Building."

Qing Huan was full of surprise, the fifth girl who was talking bit her lip, and hid behind the fourth girl in fear.

Seeing the strange eyes of the fourth girl, Qing Huan inexplicably felt a little annoyed.

"It's weird, what happened to Fifth Cousin, but someone bullied you, tell us about it." Cheng Ao'er was not used to Fifth Girl's attitude.

"Where is anyone bullying her? Fifth Sister has such a personality. Seventh Sister, you should also know about it." Fourth Miss smoothed things over and explained to other girls who didn't know the situation in the mansion.

Qing Huan smiled: "Of course I know, not to mention that all of us are girls, even if Fifth Sister is timid, she won't be afraid because of us."

"Miss Si, you are quite interesting as Seventh Sister, why don't I hear you mention it so much?"

Yahuan smiled and introduced to others: "This is my seventh sister, the daughter of my third uncle. She returned to Beijing last year. You are not allowed to bully her. There are no sisters like us."

Cheng Ao'er frowned, what the four girls said meant more than they said.

Qing Huan stopped her and told her not to be impulsive.

"Third sister, take fifth sister and the others to Qiufeng Building first." Fourth girl said to third girl.

The third girl raised her brows, feeling dissatisfied, when she suddenly saw Aunt Qing's gaze, she felt resentful, gritted her teeth, turned around and led the person away.

After they left, the fourth girl continued to introduce: "This is the elder sister of the Song family, the granddaughter of Marquis Weiyuan, Song Molan."

"Sister Mo Lan." Qing Huan stood up and saluted.

"Who is this….."

"This is the elder sister of Tai Shi Ling Tong's family, Tong Qiurong, and her grandfather is also a military officer." Cheng Ao'er obviously knew this person a long time ago.

After Qing Huan saluted, Tong Qiurong pulled Qing Huan up with a smile: "I've heard Ao'er mention you a long time ago, and this is the first time I've seen you today. Just now I wondered why I didn't see Cheng Ao'er, after all I found out that the two of you are hiding in this corner after seeing the fourth girl looking for her and asking her."

Qing Huan understood that those left behind were the direct descendants of the various prefectures, and it was no wonder that the fourth sister let the third sister and the others leave first.But if it is true, the fourth sister is not qualified.

But now that the Yan Mansion is the master's house, many people from these people's families came here for the sake of Uncle Ruyang's Mansion, so they had to give Fourth Miss some face.

"Where are you hiding, I just saw a few sisters chatting, I was too embarrassed to go forward, so I had to drag my cousin to stay together." Qing Huan was slightly embarrassed.

"In this case, let's go there too." The man in the lilac-colored trousers said.

Qing Huan noticed that she belonged to General You's family, but she was obviously different from Cheng Ao'er in that this person was a talented girl in Beijing. Qin Qiong and Liu Liu Qixiu were considered equally famous.
