At noon the next day, Qiu Yilan finished class and led the swing to her room. When she entered the door, she saw He Shuijin sitting on the low couch next to the west window in a leisurely manner, folding a rose flower and teasing Dabai. .
"Miss He is here?" Qiu Yilan couldn't help but be startled, then scolded Chun Ran and others, "Why don't you go to the boudoir and call me?"
He Shuijin hurriedly threw the rose flowers to Dabai, stood up to greet her, and smiled to smooth things over: "Princess, don't blame them, I asked them not to disturb you. After all, it's nothing important, and they won't be waiting here for me." I'm so lazy, but I started playing with you, a lion cat, before I even asked you."
Qiu Yilan didn't care that she was teasing Dabai - this lion cat was originally of top quality and was carefully taken care of by Su He and others. Now it looks as smooth and beautiful as a flower, attracting maids and women to rush to hold it. Qiu Yilan, a serious owner, didn't even have the time to get started, and had long been accustomed to watching him act coquettishly by relying on others.
The two exchanged a few words, and Qiu Yilan introduced the swing to her before the guests of honor took their seats.
After sitting down, Qiu Yilan asked He Shuijin why he came, but He Shuijin only chatted. After a few words, Zhu Qian came to his senses and stood up to leave, saying that he wanted to take Dabai to play outside in the yard.
After she left, Sure enough, He Shuijin got to the point: "I took the liberty to come here to find the princess today because I want to inquire about someone."
Qiu Yilan hurriedly said: "Tell me." Are you going to show off your cards and ask me directly about my cousin? God bless the Jiang family, but he definitely didn’t want Jiang Qisheng to be betrothed to her cousin!
"It is said that the three young ladies of the Yang family came to Xihe Palace before and had contact with the princess." He Shuijin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "May I ask what the princess thinks of the sixth lady of the Yang family, whose maiden name is Yinian? How about it?"
This question was a big surprise to Qiu Yilan. She stayed for a while and then shook her head: "In fact, I didn't know who the three Miss Yang were that day. As for Miss Yang Liu, I don't know who she was. I really don’t know.”
A trace of disappointment flashed across He Shuijin's face, and he sighed: "I see, I thought this was just right!"
"I wonder what the matter is?" Qiu Yilan asked when she saw that she didn't leave immediately. After thinking about it, she felt that the relationship between the two was neither very far nor close, so she added, "I'll just ask. I don't mind asking if it's inconvenient..."
"It's not inconvenient." He Shuijin shook his head and said, "Anyway, this matter is not a secret - what happened to the Yang family a few days ago, the princess should have heard about it when she came back from sweeping the grave, right?"
Qiu Yilan said: "I heard about it. Didn't you say Yang Yifu? Why did Miss He ask me, Yang Yinian?"
He Shuijin smiled and said: "Yang Yifu is dead, what does it have to do with me? Why are you asking the princess Yang Yinian? It's because she is in the year of getting married, and my cousin has caused such a thing. How can this life-long event be affected?" Not affected? It’s just that her parents are only one daughter, and they don’t want to marry far away. It’s too embarrassing to leave it to me.”
Qiu Yilan said in surprise: "The Yang family entrusts you?"
Aren't you a Queen's Party? Isn’t the Yang family now part of the Queen Mother’s Party? ! Is this the tempo of bipartisanship
He Shuijin said as if nothing had happened: "Haha, when I have nothing to do, I occasionally help each family solve their worries and solve problems. Of course, I also collect some money... These things are mostly done in the inner house and have nothing to do with the previous dynasty. ”
Qiu Yilan really didn't expect that this "profit-seeking" reputation was caused by accepting money and doing things openly. She thought it was because He Shuijin was entrusted to take care of the Jiang family's property. She thought about what He Shuijin said. He meant it, so he asked: "But you like this person, but you are not sure about Yang Yinian's temperament?"
"That's right." He Shuijin nodded and said, "After all, I don't know much about the Yang family, and Ding Hanlin is much older than Yang Yi, and he already has children. If there is no way to continue the string, , after passing through the gate but not being able to suppress the backyard, it’s not a big deal.”
"...Yang Yinian and Ding Hanlin?!" Qiu Yilan exclaimed. Although it has been an ancient tradition for a lolita to match an uncle, but the uncle is married and has a concubine and a son. How can this be considered cute
What's more, Ding Hanlin's eldest daughter, the one who will marry Qiu Hongzhi at the end of May, seems to be older than Yang Yinian, right
He Shuijin looked calm and did not feel anything bad about this marriage at all: "Yang Yinian's father Yang Yong is only the fifth-rank imperial censor Zhongcheng, but Ding Hanlin is a third-rank Hanlin bachelor. He is appointed to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy - even if he is doing If it continues, this marriage will not be considered as a disgrace to Yang Yinian. Especially now that Yang Yifu has happened in the Yang family, it is not easy for Ding Hanlin to consider this marriage. "
Well, values are different these days... No, there was no doomsday in the previous life, but there were many young and beautiful girls who were trying hard to marry wealthy grandfathers - indeed, there is nothing new under the sun.
Although she didn't know whether Yang Yinian was happy or not, her parents made the decision, and Qiu Yilan was too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters. She was surprised and immediately realized another question: "But, the Yang family and the Ding family?"
He Shuijin smiled solemnly: "Yang Yong promised to separate from the Yang family as soon as possible."
Qiu Yilan suddenly understood: "I don't want to follow Yang Tao and plan to lean towards the neutral party. But this surrender letter is really sharp. My biological daughter who is still in the bud at the age of fifteen or sixteen will marry directly. A middle-aged man is the second wife, and she also has to be a stepmother to someone older than her."
But think about the fact that Yang Yishui killed his cousin to accuse him of adultery, and Yang Tao tried to win over Yang Hao to deal with the aftermath of his daughter - like a daughter, like a father, if there is anything wrong with Yang Tao, who knows? Wouldn't you hand over your brother as a scapegoat
Yang Hao is unlearned and has always relied on his brother for support. Since Yang Yong has been promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng, it can be seen that he still has some time left. There is no need to stay at home as a backup substitute for his brother. It is understandable that he simply takes advantage of this and withdraws. .
After thinking about the pros and cons of Yang Yinian marrying Ding Hanlin, Qiu Yilan said implicitly: "Although I couldn't tell the difference between the three Miss Yang that day, as far as I can see, they all have their own intentions."
He Shuijin smiled. In fact, she also wanted to facilitate this matter: even if Yang Yong's house was defected to Xue Chang and not Queen Jiang, it would still be the weakening of the Queen Mother's Party.
"No matter what, it's true that Yang Yinian is a beauty." He Shuijin said as if to himself when leaving.
Qiu Yilan knew that she would try her best to persuade Ding Hanlin to agree to marry this young lady from the Yang family as a second marriage.
But this marriage didn't go smoothly - she sent away He Shuijin, and then came another jaw-dropping news from the Yang family: Yang Yishui was unmarried but pregnant!
Qiu Yilan asked Su He who went out to find out the news: "How did this news come out?!"
Su He ran back with her skirt in hand, her face flushed. She stroked her chest and panted for a moment before saying, "It is said that Yang Yifu's biological mother, Luan, was not feeling well, so she called for a doctor. When the doctor arrived, Yang Yishi happened to be there too. , Luan said she didn’t look well, so she asked the doctor to take a look at her. At that time, people were talking in low voices behind the tent, and the doctor didn’t know their identities. He only said that they were both concubines, so after one examination, I just said congratulations directly.”
"What happened in the backyard spread all over the city so quickly. It seems that the people of the Yang family have been prepared this time." Qiu Yilan clicked her tongue, "But I don't know who the adulterer in Yang Yoshi's house is? "
As a result, she just asked this question, and Princess Yang led people into the courtyard with a livid face and cursed: "You vicious thing! You actually persuaded Ruan Qingyan to seduce Yishi! As a result, my Yang family is now disgraced. The laughingstock of everyone…”
"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qiu Yilan knew as soon as she heard that Yang Yoshi had confessed to Ruan Qingyan, her face darkened and she shouted angrily, "You said my cousin seduced Yang Yoshi?! Are you kidding! Who is it? I don’t know that my cousin has always been attracted by women. The bosses who competed with oirans in the past looked at him differently. Can Yang Yishui’s ability to seduce people be comparable to that of oirans?”
Princess Yang was almost furious: "Yi Shi is a noble lady, how dare you compare an oiran to her?"
"How can such a dignified lady be seduced by others?" Qiu Yilan sneered, "If she were more reserved and didn't meet casually with foreign men, how could she be seduced without even seeing her in person? Could it be that Yang The back of the house is so relaxed that anyone can enter and sneak into the boudoir!"
Princess Yang said bitterly: "It's not Ruan Qingyan's sweet words..."
"That's because Yang Yishi is unruly!" Qiu Yilan said categorically, "If she is really a pure and virtuous woman, why should she pay attention to her husband's words? She should have even listened to her husband's voice. Isn’t that what Eternal Zhenlie looks like if you cut off your own ears?”
"You... you are also a woman! You actually said that about Yi Shi!" Princess Yang knew that Qiu Yilan had a sharp tongue, but she didn't know that she could be so sharp. She was so angry! After staying for a long time, he said in a trembling voice, "Now, not only Yoshi, but also Yinian, Yimian... My Yang family girls have been ruined, do you know that?! You still say such things! Do you have any conscience!"
Qiu Yilan said disdainfully: "You didn't take care of your girls earlier and you blame me? Am I the ancestor of the Yang family? What's the point of your Yang family's tutor not being able to find me?! Moreover, you keep saying that my cousin is cheating. .Introduce Yang Yishi, where is the evidence? Even if you are a princess, you can just slander the scholar in the world!"
Seeing that she was recognized as one of the world's most educated people, Princess Yang couldn't hold back her anger. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to come up and beat her: "You are really powerful, and all the scholars in the world have recognized you! Then I, as an aunt, will teach you a lesson. But let’s see which scholar says it shouldn’t be!”
As a result, Qiu Yilan sat down on the ground without saying a word: "Su He went out to ask for the doctor, and said that my aunt took it out on me because Yang Yoshi had an affair with someone, and beat me until I vomited blood and passed out. I don't think I can lie down." It won’t get better after a year and a half!”
Princess Yang said sternly: "I don't think I allow it, how could Su He get out of this courtyard!"
She gave the order, and the servants who followed immediately agreed! Qiu Yilan's momentum was immediately suppressed!
Seeing this, Qiu Yilan jumped up, patted her skirt, and said, "You think you can do anything to me like this?"
Princess Yang sneered and said: "I know you learned a few tricks and embroidered legs from the old man of the Ruan family! But after the wife of the Prince of Guangyang suffered a loss, do you think I will be fooled again?"
"Can you not be fooled?" Qiu Yilan sneered and suddenly shouted outside, "Mr. Shao! Help! My aunt wants to beat me to death!!!"
You have the ability to silence the female gentleman who is respected by Princess Chunfu!
