Qiu Yilan's estimation was absolutely correct. The team led by Jiang Qizheng arrived at the foot of Jinxiu Slope in a mighty force, and they were followed by several riders - all tall horses. The knights on the horses were wearing distinctive armor and looked extraordinary. It is not something that ordinary wealthy people can raise.
The group of people rode close to the carriage and reined in the carriage near Jiang Qizheng.
Because Qiu Yilan was at the back of the Jiang family's motorcade and was obscured by the riders in front, she didn't know what they were talking about. In short, after a while, these knights wiped her carriage back to Princess Shou'an again, but the Jiang family's motorcade had no intention of continuing.
After a while, a mother-in-law came and asked the ladies to get out of the car one by one and go to the Jinxiu Slope to talk: "Princess Shou'an is also going for an outing on Jinxiu Slope. In order to prevent crowds, so I went with My princess proposes to compete in three games, the winner will go up the hill, and the loser will find another place. The princess specially ordered the princess to come over to discuss the strategy. "
Naturally, Qiu Yilan would not refuse. When he was about to get out of the car, he thought of something and ordered Su He: "Take Dabai and go with you."
Chunran reminded: "Princess, this is a wild land and there are many people. If Dabai runs away..."
"I think this kind of competition should have nothing to do with me. I don't have many acquaintances except Princess Chunfu and Miss He. These two have to take charge of the situation and may not have time to greet me. Then they will just stand and watch. It's not interesting. You can take Dabai there and play with it." Qiu Yilan thought to herself that a trainee girl like herself, who has only been taking classes for two years, would never have a chance to play, what if there were too many people watching. In a group, she and Qiu Jinzhu had nothing to say, so she took Dabai there. Once no one paid attention to her, she let Dabai run away and chased him - just go with the flow!
So Chun Ran and Xia Ran were left to guard the carriage, put on their curtain hats, led Su He and Shen Shui out of the car, and joined Qiu Jinzhu who was already waiting by the carriage and walked towards Jinzhang together.
When I arrived at Jinzhangli, I saw that the lush grass was covered with thick woven carpets, which were used as seats, and charcoal pots were burning around them to prevent the cold spring breeze from freezing the many pearls in my eyes.
Up above, Jiang Qizheng and He Shuijin were sitting opposite each other. It was obvious that they were the two who made the decision in this circle.
There were several ladies from the ladies kneeling down far and near, all of them were gorgeous and brightly dressed, and their faces were a little hesitant at this moment - no wonder, they went out for an outing in a happy mood, but they met someone else before they left the city, and everyone wanted to do it. I feel unhappy.
"Princess Ningyi and Princess Ningtai are here, please take a seat, please!" Seeing Qiu Yilan leading Qiu Jinzhu in, Jiang Qizheng smiled slightly and pointed to the connecting link not far from her. seats.
Qiu Yilan was about to nod when suddenly a young servant girl wearing a duck yellow shirt and a green skirt turned her head and hummed: "Is Princess Ningyi here? The things you caused have caused so much harm to us. I've been delayed here, and now Shou'an has made three rounds, tell me what to do!"
"Sister Fifteen, what you said is so unreasonable." When Jiang Qizheng heard this one speaking, her face, which was not very good at all, suddenly darkened, "It's not like those people in Shou'an are fighting with us for a day or two. Yes, it’s Princess Ning Yi. This is the first time she’s been invited to join us—what are you doing with her?”
Hearing what Jiang Qizheng said, Qiu Yilan remembered that the servant girl was Jiang Qijun, the fifteenth daughter of the Jiang family whom she had met once. She felt very unhappy in her heart: "What's going on with the Jiang family's daughter? The three people I have met so far, except for Princess Chunfu, who is about nineteen, are quite polite to me. Fifteen and seventeen are more troublesome than each other. Is it because I don't have the protection of my parents and elders and can be bullied? ?”
With this thought in mind, she made a note to Jiang Qiyun and decided that she would definitely provoke Jiang Yashuang in front of her after she went back!
But looking back to settle the accounts, Jiang Qiyun obviously did not let Jiang Qizheng let her go after being stopped by the current situation. She still said lukewarmly: "It's only the beginning of February, and the snow in Shanyin has not yet melted. ! The day you set for the outing this year is so early. Gu Wanna is always afraid of the cold. She usually goes out until the end of February or even the beginning of March. Now she comes out and says that she is not here for Princess Ningyi. letter?"
"I think what the fifteenth sister said makes sense." The person who could answer the conversation didn't need to be reminded by Jiang Qizheng. Qiu Yilan also remembered that it was Jiang Qisheng, the seventeenth daughter of the Jiang family. She was wearing a lake blue spring dress today and her hair was in a ponytail. The bright Xingzi's eyes were full of disdain and ridicule, "Everyone knows that little aunt Gu Wanna broke her foot in Pingshan and rushed back to the capital to seek medical treatment day and night! As a result, Princess Ningyi was still in the mood to go out for an outing. , who’s niece can’t catch up and find out what happened?”
Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng's hostility towards Qiu Yilan was so obvious that most of the ladies in the palace who had originally planned to greet the new noble lady put aside their intention to make friends and started drinking tea one after another and talking to the maids. While talking, some of them even cast a joking and contemptuous look at Qiu Yilan.
The only girl who was about the same age as Qiu Yilan sneered and said: "Naren Guren just broke his foot, but it's not like he died and needs to observe filial piety. Why can't Princess Ning Yi come out?"
"You!" Sister Jiang Qiyun attacked Qiu Yilan one after another. Seeing that everyone's attitude was also affected, she felt relieved in her heart. She didn't want to be questioned suddenly like this - and this girl was very disrespectful from her tone to her words. Their faces suddenly widened their eyes!
Qiu Yilan was also surprised. Before the girl opened her mouth, He Shuijin, who was most familiar with her in Jinzhao, lowered his head and obviously didn't want to care about the matter. Jiang Qizheng showed a protective attitude. A girl whose name I don't even know comes forward
She couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl, but she saw that she had a delicate face, curved eyebrows like the moon, and lips as red as red. She was wearing a tooth-colored narrow-sleeved jacket, half arms of crimson peony branches, and a cyan fairy skirt. Armed with begonia red silk. In particular, the eyes that are like a dot of paint are very smart, pretty and bright, and the whole body is filled with the brilliance of youth.
"It seems familiar..." Qiu Yilan murmured in her heart, "But... I really don't remember it when I think about it. Did we bump into him by chance somewhere? But there is definitely no friendship. It's really strange - who is this person?"
Sister Jiang Qiyun was originally aggressive and she had planned to fight back, but suddenly this girl jumped out to take over the battle. Qiu Yilan immediately stopped talking and sat down on her seat, thinking to herself, I want to see which one this is about
The girl asked with an unconvinced look on her face: "Did I say something wrong? What do you mean by looking at me like this? Do you want to bully others with the strength of your sisters?!"
Jiang Qiyun said angrily: "Zhuang Man, why are you crazy? Our sisters said Qiu Yilan, did you get involved? What do you mean by standing up!"
Zhuang Man? Qiu Yilan's mind moved, and she suddenly remembered Si Yezhuang Mo, the Imperial Prince at the court meeting - she later learned that the wife of General Zhenbei was the mother of Jiang Yadan, Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang. , also named Zhuang, is Zhuang Mo's sister.
Could this be Jiang Yashuang's uncle and cousin? Was it entrusted by Jiang Yashuang
"You are happy to talk about others, and I am happy to stand up. It has nothing to do with you!" This Zhuang Man is just the daughter of Si Ye, a fourth-grade imperial son. In terms of background, she is worse than the sisters of the Jiang family, but she is also I don’t know where the confidence comes from, but I refuse to give in at all!
The Jiang sisters, like their brothers, have been accustomed to being domineering since childhood. How could they withstand such provocation
Jiang Qijun raised her hand and threw the tea bowl. Just as she was about to have a fit, Jiang Qisheng glanced at Qiu Yilan and sneered, "Can't you see it, Sister Fifteen? We are anxious to be a family! I really don't know what Xihe Palace is. Tutors, who have no reputation and no status, just shamelessly come to our house..."
"Mr. Shao, the female teacher who is currently in charge of the Xihe Palace, seems to have taught you all before." Qiu Yilan was not a master who would not fight back or retaliate. She had already suppressed the Jiang sister's repeated troubles. She was angry because Jiang Qizheng and Zhuang Man had blocked her and failed to find a chance. Now she couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted directly, "Don't blame the person who taught you if you can't learn well. It's hard for a wise woman to make a meal without straw." , the material itself is not a good one, but I just blame the craftsmen for not being able to make it into a treasure that can be handed down from generation to generation!”
After she finished speaking coldly, everyone in Jinzhu was stunned. Qiu Jinzhu covered her mouth in shock and looked at her in disbelief. Although Qiu Yilan was considered noble here in terms of status, in terms of title, Second only to Jiang Qizheng, but - who doesn't know that she, the princess' uncle, doesn't kiss her aunt, doesn't love her, doesn't talk about it, and has a grudge against the only remaining elder of the Qiu family
Not to mention who is picking on her? The two young ladies from Jiang Banchao's family are things that a serious princess would not dare to neglect when she sees them!
So everyone sighed slightly after being stunned for a while, thinking that this girl would not be successful without the guidance of her elders. After being told such a thing by the sisters of the Jiang family, they couldn't bear to take advantage of the princess, but the darlings of the Jiang family , will you pay attention to any princess
Sure enough, Jiang Qiyun was furious. She stood up and said loudly: "How dare you talk to us like this!"
"I forgot to say something just now -" Qiu Yilan ignored her anger and continued coldly, "Although the Xihe Palace has declined in the past two years, the Qiu family's backbone is still there. I can I promise, I will never climb high..."
"Jiang Qiyun!" Jiang Qizheng, who had originally planned to smooth things over, felt anxious when she heard this. She stood up and blocked Jiang Qiyun, but she didn't even call out "Sister Fifteen" and looked at her with angry eyes. "You are not welcome here, get out! Get out now!"
Even a fool can tell that if she doesn't interrupt Qiu Yilan, she will swear in public that she will completely break with the Jiang family and will never marry Jiang Yashuang! If Jiang Yashuang was like Jiang Yadan, a person who said "I only want your people and don't care about your heart", Jiang Qizheng wouldn't be so anxious, but Jiang Yashuang just took the initiative towards Ningyi County sincerely - in the past two years Jiang Jiujiu, who has always followed the rules, climbed over the wall every three days to please his sweetheart. Did he really think that the whole Jiang family was dead? !
If Qiu Yilan was forced by Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng on the outing she invited to announce that she had nothing to do with Jiang Yashuang... Jiang Qizheng simply didn't know how to explain to her brother when she returned!
Now Jiang Qizheng just wants to get rid of the two cousins who are causing trouble and quickly comfort Qiu Yilan!
Although Jiang Qiyun had a big rift with Jiang Qizheng because of the disfigurement, the two sisters still maintained a good relationship in front of others. They never expected that Jiang Qizheng would suddenly break up with her, and they didn't react for a while. , said in confusion: "What did you call me?"
"Get out!" Jiang Qizheng knew who was more important, the younger brother of the same mother and the cousin who almost ruined her appearance. She didn't need to think about it - she completely ignored that there were many ladies in the palace now, and shouted to the left and right with a livid face, " Are you deaf? Get her out!"
Jiang Qisheng was stunned and said: "Sister Shiba, are you just facing outsiders like this?! Even if she kisses you in the future, but now..."
"Shut up, too!" From the corner of Jiang Qizheng's eyes, she saw Qiu Yilan frowning after hearing these words. She seemed to be about to speak again, so she quickly shouted and revealed her identity as a princess, "You guys If you two say one more word, do you believe that I will no longer compete with Shou An and go directly to the palace to ask for your favor? "
"Sister Qiu, please don't argue with them..." The anxious Jiang Qizheng didn't know that Qiu Yilan, who was listening expressionlessly to Shuijin's eager consolation, was thinking in her heart: "Very good , Sure enough, Nineteen's status in Jiang Qizheng's eyes is much higher than her two crazy cousins... Now that Jiang Qizheng has broken up with these two, what will happen next, this pure blessing princess When I go back and tell my elders what happened, they will definitely tell me!"
In this case, Qiu Yilan is certainly not afraid of making things worse, so it is natural for him to say goodbye!
