Qiu Yilan and Ruan Ciyi were worried all the time. For this reason, Jiang Yashuang specially arranged for Qi Shuluo's carriage to go beside the Ruan family's team.
But as he said, the emperor and his ministers were going to Dizi Mountain together, and the ceremony, scale, and road conditions all caused the journey to be slow.
So Qiu Jinglan was fine until she moved into another hospital, which made Qiu Yilan and others relieved.
The three siblings lived in the Ruan Family Villa—of course not the villa that Old General Ruan would buy. At that time, except for the General's Mansion, all the properties were gone.
Now this one was bought by Qiu Jinglan when she spent her summer vacation last year. At that time, he was still Xue Chang's favorite disciple who had high hopes, so it was very close to the Xue family villa.
As an important minister, Xue Chang certainly lives not far from the palace... In the same way, the summer estates of the Jiang family, the Gu family, and other big shots in the court are all nearby.
However, although Qiu Yilan was called over to "accompany cousin Ruan" during the summer vacation last year, at that time Qiu Jinglan was watching her closely for fear that her sister would be taken advantage of, and Jiang Yashuang had no chance to come in. This time it was his first time to step into this "Green Snow Villa".
The scale of this village is far smaller than that of the Jiangjia Villa, but the previous owner also put a lot of thought into it - specially intercepting the mountain springs and gathering them into a lake. Evergreen trees and vines are planted along the banks to match the name of "Green Snow" .
"Brother, this Zhuangzi is quiet and pleasant. Although you rarely see delicate flowers when you come in, it is full of rich green and has a unique charm." Jiang Yashuang looked around and couldn't help but say a few words of praise.
Ling Zui didn't need to please his brother-in-law, so he unceremoniously said: "How can this be his credit? This Zhuangzi has never been touched since it fell into his hands. It is said that the previous owner had a family that hated flowers and would get rash when they saw them, so here it is Only the trees and flowers can be seen... By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to move some flowers? Why haven’t you done that yet?”
Qiu Jinglan said helplessly: "Look at me like this now... can I still care about such a trivial matter?"
Jiang Yashuang was about to take over this matter when Ruan Ciyi suddenly said: "Let my sister handle this matter!"
"Me?" Qiu Yilan was giving Jiang Yashuang a wink with her eyes, thinking that the opportunity to show off has come, you have to seize it... Suddenly hearing Ruan Ciyi mention this, Qiu Jinglan and Ling Zui also looked at her. Come here, I can’t help but be startled!
"That's true." Qiu Jinglan pondered for a moment and actually nodded, "It's my sister's thoughtfulness!" He explained to her, "The summer vacation has just begun. You have nothing to do anyway. It's time to walk around and get to know each other more." These people! Nowadays, every family on the mountain has more or less flowers and plants. When we get to know each other, it won’t be a problem to ask for a few plants from others, and our family doesn’t want them in vain.”
Co-writing is the reason why she goes out to socialize and interact with many people - Ruan Ciyi is a formal noblewoman after all, and has full experience in the growth and cultivation of noblewomen. In this regard, even Qiu Jinglan and Jiang Yashuang did not consider her. comprehensive.
When Jiang Yashuang heard this, she was even more happy, and she frequently cast grateful glances at Ruan Ciyi - with his huge team of cousins, Qiu Yilan started "noble girl diplomacy", and he was still afraid Can't find a chance to be alone
As long as a small number of sisters learn from Princess Yongfu, this year's summer vacation shouldn't be too sweet!
However, after Qiu Yilan officially started walking, Jiang Yashuang realized that he was happy too early!
At first, his sisters were very willing to help. They took turns asking Qiu Yilan out, and after calling him over, they found excuses to leave. They were all knowledgeable and full of the spirit of friendship between brothers and sisters!
Then one day it was Zhuang Man's turn, the true disciple of the dark cooking world, who had a good memory and dragged Qiu Yilan out for a picnic - in Qiu Yilan's words, in summer, the mountains and plains of Dizi Mountain are full of delicious food!
Zhuang Man was satisfied with her meal this time. With her temper, she naturally wanted to show off to others, so... The next people who asked Qiu Yilan to ask for a date all turned Jiang Yashuang away, and instead called out to invite friends. A large group of sisters joined together in the "Dizi Mountain on the Tip of the Tongue" launched by Zhuang Man and Qiu Yilan!
... Of course, they wouldn't let Qiu Yilan cook for a group of them. After all, not everyone is a descendant of the dark cooking world - and Qiu Yilan is not that easy to control. But a group of people were very interested in cooking with local materials in the wild, and listening to Qiu Yilan teach them wild survival knowledge that was extremely novel to them.
In this regard, the ladies and old ladies behind the girls understood the situation and thought it was good: "They are all girls from similar families, so it is a good thing to get together often. They also exchange cooking skills with each other, after all, they are all girls' families. What you should learn... is to tell your servants to be careful not to get burned. "
Under this situation, Jiang Yashuang ran to her eleventh sister-in-law, Xiao Zhuang, who was Zhuang Man's sister, and went crazy: "It's all done by cousin Man! Sister-in-law, please help me, she Taking the lead, dragging Lan Lan around outside all day long, I don’t even think about whether Lan Lan can bear it!”
Xiaozhuang burst into laughter and said, "I have heard that this sister-in-law-to-be is a tiger girl in the general family. She saw a hare from a distance of more than ten feet, so she just pulled out a hairpin and gave it to them! You should think that Is she so weak?" Then he said, "You don't know what Man'er's temper is? I can't control her... Unless my aunt comes back, maybe she will listen!"
The aunt she was talking about was naturally Jiang Yashuang's mother, Mrs. Zhuang.
Mrs. Zhuang was known to be fierce and jealous. When she heard that Jiang Tianchi had taken a concubine in the north, she left the young Jiang Yadan without saying a word, crying and arguing with her parents-in-law and insisting on "taking care of her husband." Then she gave the concubine away as soon as she arrived in the north. Less than six months later, the concubine found Jiang Tianchi with a baby boy in her arms. After a lot of trouble, the baby boy entered the Jiang family, and he is now sixteen Young Master Jiang Yazhu.
It's just that the concubine was driven back to the home where she was originally given by Mrs. Zhuang...
After such an incident, Mrs. Zhuang was even more on guard against Jiang Tianchi. Later, she gave birth to twins Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Yashuang in the north. Because the two siblings were not used to the northern climate and kept getting sick, Jiang Tianchi, for the sake of their children's lives, persuaded her to take the children back to Beijing, but she refused. Ken, he forced his servants to carry the baby back to the capital and hand it over to his parents-in-law, but he also wanted to stay there and keep an eye on her husband!
How could such a jealous master come back to discipline his niece
Jiang Yashuang said depressedly: "Sister-in-law, you just said this to amuse me!"
Xiaozhuang was both his sister-in-law and his biological cousin. Seeing that he was unhappy, her heart softened and she said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call Man'er over later and talk about her. But I can't help it whether she's willing to listen." He teased again, "I said, you already have this title, why are you anxious? You will go back to your hometown to take the exam after summer vacation. If you don't focus on studying, you will always go to find your prospective sister-in-law, and your elders will be angry with you!" "
"I've almost finished reviewing my homework." Jiang Yashuang said sarcastically, "And it's so hot for girls to run outside all the time... it's very dangerous."
"It's not hot on the mountain, and there are so many trees, so there are plenty of cool places to stay. How could Man'er and the others have wronged me?" Mrs. Xiaozhuang said with a mixture of laughter and laughter, "You! You are just thinking about your future sister-in-law, and you are so stubborn!"
...Although Mrs. Xiao Zhuang made fun of Jiang Yashuang, she was quite reliable in her work. She called Zhuang Man over the next day: "It's not like you don't know that Qiu Yilan, who is more than nineteen years old, is rare now." We haven't met yet. It's not convenient to have a private meeting in the city. Now that we're in the mountains, everyone lives far away from each other and there are no neighbors to disturb them. It's a good time for them to interact... Why are you so ignorant? "
Hearing this, Zhuang Man cried out again and again: "I have no intention of tearing down Nineteenth Cousin, but Sister Qiu herself is having a lot of fun with us! She wants to tell me that she wants to meet Nineteenth Cousin, what should I do? Will you go out to find her every day?”
"This girl has a tender face!" Xiao Zhuang rolled her eyes and said, "You are still Jiujiu's cousin. That's what she thinks. Are you embarrassed to tell you?"
Zhuang Man rolled his eyes: "So it's actually Shijiu who wants to find her. She may not..."
"Are you sure you want to offend Jiujiu?" Mr. Xiaozhuang smiled half-heartedly, "Have you forgotten that last time at Jinxiu Slope, Jiang Qiyun and Jiang Qisheng had a great time causing trouble? What's the end of it now? I just heard yesterday that my second uncle personally sent the message Then, promise Jiang Qisheng to Oubicheng's cousin Ou Bikong, who is working in Northern Xinjiang... That's all. You still don't know our aunt's temper? When Jiang Qisheng arrives in Northern Xinjiang, if her aunt knows that she and her son will... If my wife can’t get through it, it would be weird if I didn’t give her a hard time!”
"Don't talk about Cousin Nineteen like a scourge, those two people have no brains!" Zhuang Man disagreed, "However, Jiang Qiyun is lucky. Thanks to her good grandfather, she was able to be promised to the King of Qi... Tsk , when I see her again after autumn, I have to say hello! She is very domineering to begin with, and I don’t know if she will raise her tail to the sky after becoming a princess!”
Xiao Zhuang shook his head, with a hint of bitterness on his face: "Although I won't trick you with life-long events at nineteen, you are all old. If you don't do things well, you can do whatever you want as a child. After all, he is also your cousin, and you are There is nothing to do with Qiu Yilan, so why offend him? As for Jiang Qiyun, you are too naive. Do you think that she will be great if she becomes the princess? You don't want to think that her mother-in-law will be the empress in the future... The empress is the most important. It hurts!"
She thought to herself that she and Jiang Yahong could be regarded as relatives. They met each other when they were young. She thought that after they got married, they would be as good as one person without talking about each other. It would be okay to have a close relationship, right? The results of it? Although Jiang Yahong was respectful and coaxing her, didn't he take the beautiful concubines to the backyard one by one? She relied on the fact that they were childhood sweethearts and the perfect couple. After several quarrels, Jiang Yahong's face became ugly...
Nowadays, there are no problems between the couple on the surface, but there are gaps in their hearts. After such experience, although Jiang Yashuang was already engaged to Qiu Yilan and could not marry Zhuang Man again, Xiao Zhuang deeply understood that the friendship she had when she was a child was not necessarily reliable when she grew up, so she was naturally afraid that her sister would make the same mistake again.
Zhuang Man felt a headache after hearing this, and said: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I won't go to Sister Qiu again in the future, so as not to disturb them... But I can't care if other people go to find her."
She couldn't control it, but Jiang Qizheng could. Not that she could control it. Jiang Qizheng, who couldn't help her brother's entanglement, had to rope in He Shuijin to organize this poetry club and that poetry club again and again in order to make time for his prospective sister-in-law. He kept finding reasons to invite Qiu Yilan less... With the help of his sister-in-law and sister, Jiang Yashuang got his wish and met Qiu Yilan alone.
However, as soon as the two of them met this time, Qiu Yilan said with a half-smile, "I just made an appointment with my cousin Xin from your cousin's house. I will go to see the lotus flowers in her villa tomorrow. If you think it's good, I just dug a few plants and planted them in Green Snow Villa. But the date has been decided, and you asked Her Royal Highness Princess Chunfu to intervene and mess up the date... What do you think I should do to deal with you? "
"Isn't it easy for you to see lotus?" Jiang Yashuang looked at her with a smile, "There is a big lake in the valley south of Dizi Mountain. In this season, there are dozens of lotus flowers beside the lake. Is it the Fu Bing family's? The lotus was dug from there! How can the lotus grown in their home compare with the dozens of lotus flowers? Come on, I'll take you there to pick them!"
