Qiu Yilan smiled when she heard this, glanced at him and said, "Isn't it what you should do?"
"The servants who signed the death contract at home should be bought back to do things, but then we should pay them extra wages!" Jiang Yashuang complained, "So how can I not be rewarded for doing what I should do?"
Qiu Yilan was about to say something when his voice suddenly dropped and he said with ill intentions, "Are you obedient or not? If you don't... believe it or not, I guarantee that you won't be able to get up tomorrow?"
"Ever since we got married, you have become more and more disobedient!" Qiu Yilan poked his chest with her finger and scolded him with a smile, "Why did you show your true colors after you deceived me?" Such words were true of her. Worried that Jiang Yashuang would lose control at night, she put her arms around his neck, leaned into his arms, and kissed her thin lips gently.
Jiang Yashuang greeted her enthusiastically... The two lingered for a while before letting go. He took a breath and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Now you have entered the Jiang family and you are mine. If you don't behave in the future, look at me. How to deal with you!"
When he said the word "tidy up", he glanced very clearly into the tent with an ambiguous expression.
"Do you know anything else besides this?" Qiu Yilan rolled her eyes at him and spat.
"Of course!" Jiang Yashuang asked confidently, "What do you like? Just say it, I guarantee that you will be satisfied! This is the duty of a husband - how about we change a few tonight?"
"...Your moral integrity!" Qiu Yilan wordlessly broke away from his arm, "Okay, let's get down to business. I haven't even attended this sister-in-law's party. Today, the eighth sister-in-law seems to be in low spirits because she was disgraced by them last year. I didn’t go into details, but Sister Sixteen just gave me a few words on the way back... Tell me what it’s like.”
Jiang Yashuang came over and scratched the tip of her nose, and smiled: "You also said it was a gathering of sisters-in-law, how could I attend? I just know that sisters-in-law will get together like this!"
"Then tell me about the talents of our sisters-in-law?" Qiu Yilan was a little worried, "My talents... you also know!" She has only been a noblewoman for two or three years, and her talent is only that much. How can she Compared with those who have studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood
"What are you afraid of!" She was worried, but Jiang Yashuang had full confidence in her and yelled, "I don't believe any of them can overwhelm you in talent - with your strengths, you think you are second, who dares to say you are first? !”
Although she knew that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Qiu Yilan was still filled with sweetness. She gave him a loud kiss without hesitation, and then sighed: "But, although you think so, my sisters-in-law may not think so." ah!"
"How is that possible?" Jiang Yashuang squinted at her and said with a bad smile, "What you are best at... is messing around! I have personally experienced this many times. I guarantee that you are absolutely proficient in this way. Invincible in the world... Even someone as easy to talk as me has been punished, let alone these sisters-in-law! You can rest assured to use your talents, I guarantee that even if Wen Jun reincarnates and Han E is reincarnated, they will all bow to you. Under the silk shoes, I dare not deny your talent in this life... "
"Give me back my kiss! Give me back my touch!!!" Qiu Yilan became so angry that she held up her skirt and chased her husband all over the house, who had become more and more dominant after getting married. "Asshole! Do it again next time I don’t believe you anymore!”
... Out of anger at being tricked by Jiang Yashuang and chasing him for a long time, instead of being able to hit him, he took advantage of the opportunity and threw herself on the couch and even "kissed him back" with her own money. Early that morning, Qiu Yilan accompanied Jiang Yashuang after breakfast and sent him to the gate of the courtyard. When he returned to the inner room, he ordered with a murderous look on his face: "Take the crested hairpin given by my grandfather and the one given by my grandmother." Bring out the peony beads! I’ll use these for today’s headdress!”
Su He and the others were sent far away that day and did not hear the inside story of Feng Tou Chai revealed by He Shui Jin.
But I still don't agree with her wearing these two pieces: "Would it be too ostentatious? Just use one of them and add some others?"
"No!" Qiu Yilan snorted, "What's there to be afraid of! Is there anyone who dares to come up and rob me in broad daylight?!"
"It's not a robbery, but I'm afraid that the other young ladies will feel unhappy after seeing it." Su He had an unusual relationship with her and always spoke directly. At this moment, Chun Ran gave him a wink and said, "You just came here, right...?" "
Qiu Yilan said with a pleasant look: "Why bother with such a petty person?"
"It turns out that the princess wants to use this to test which of the other young ladies are worth making friends with?" Su He suddenly realized, and the other maids also had a sense of understanding - only Xia Ran hesitated and said: "On the scene... they shouldn't say anything, right? ? "The implication is that this heuristic method is simply...
"Anyway, just dress me up like this... and make up a little brighter..." Qiu Yilan waved her hands and insisted, "For the bracelets, use the pair given by the Queen, for the necklace, use the one given by my grandmother as a gift, and for the dress, use the one with the best material. That outfit...Anyway, today’s outfit should be worthy of this hairpin!”
Isn’t Dafang overbearing? Before a hairpin arrived, she immediately pointed the finger at the person who got it - then she just wore it in front of them so that they could see it!
After a long while, in the eighth room, little Tao and Sheng Shishui stared at Qiu Yilan in gorgeous clothes: "You... you... are enough to enter the palace to participate in the ceremony!"
This means bringing everything at the bottom of the box, okay? !
Although it is said that everyone will dress up for the grandma's party, but... Just looking at the current attire of Xiao Tao and Sheng Shishui, we can see that after all, they are still homely attire, that is, they put on new clothes and added a few pieces of jewelry - after all, it is just a family gathering. Just a gathering!
"This is my first time attending such an occasion. I'm afraid that if I dress simply, I won't show respect for my sisters-in-law." Qiu Yilan said calmly, "So I spent a lot of effort and kept my two sisters-in-law waiting for a long time."
After hearing these words, Sheng Shishui just paid back, but little Tao looked at the gorgeous and dazzling crested hairpin on her head and her mouth twitched: "I'll pay for the others, this hairpin... Otherwise, I have a similar one here. , it was given by the Queen. Can I change it for you first? I guarantee that it is also very gorgeous and will definitely not be unable to support your outfit. "
Seeing Sheng Si Shui's suspicious look, she hurriedly covered it up, "After all, it was given by my grandfather. Today we are going to drink and have fun. If we accidentally fall and touch it, or fall into the grass, it will be bad."
"I appreciate your sister-in-law's kindness." Qiu Yilan specially persuaded the maids to give her this hairpin. How could she be willing to change it? At this moment, he refused with a smile, "But I will be careful."
"..." Little Tao has a good nature, but he is not stupid. How could he not tell that she did this on purpose? I couldn't help but have a headache and said, "Let's get together today, sisters-in-law. You...can't you really change it?"
At this point, Sheng Shishui immediately understood what the story of this crested hairpin was, but she rolled her eyes but remained silent.
"I'm afraid I'm late and the other sisters-in-law think I'm making excuses!" Qiu Yilan stepped forward and took little Tao's arm, smiling, "Let's just go like this. I think all the sisters-in-law at home are virtuous and generous. Don’t worry about my extra grand appearance today.”
"But..." Little Tao wanted to persuade him again.
"Eighth sister-in-law, just obey me!" Qiu Yilan relied on her strength to pull her outward - little Mrs. Tao has never had a temper. Although she was afraid that wearing this hairpin would anger little Mrs. Dou, she couldn't control it. The eldest sister-in-law of the fourth room forced her to submit under her authority, and she was so frightened and worried that she forced her to leave the house!
When they arrived at the seventh room, Mrs. Zhang, the seventh young lady, came out to greet them. She turned her eyes to Qiu Yilan and smiled: "The nineteenth brother and sister are so brightly dressed today. If I had known I would also wear that newly made pomegranate skirt." Yes, this will be compared to you, but it’s so dusty!”
"I heard from Sixteenth Sister-in-law that the sisters-in-law moved this spring's party to now just to wait for me. How dare you neglect it?" Qiu Yilan wasn't familiar with her, so she wasn't sure whether her words were teasing or sincere, but she didn't care. , said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang laughed when she heard this: "Brother and sister, you are so careful in dressing up, which is an advantage for us. We can feast our eyes on you without doing anything."
While they were talking, they had already arrived inside - the courtyard layout of the concubines and grandchildren was the same as that of the direct descendants, with three entrances and three exits, but the decoration and scale were somewhat reduced. This reduction is most obvious in the garden, where even the pond is much smaller.
"Are you here? Or?" The sixth young lady Shi Shi, the thirteenth young lady Mi Yinyin, the fourteenth young lady and Shui Jin have all arrived. They each grabbed a handful of fish food and stood by the pond to feed the koi.
Seeing the people from the fourth room coming, he hurriedly said hello, and Shui Jin handed over the fish food.
"Hey, there are two more gold-backed and bare-bellied ones?" Little Tao took it with a smile and asked Sheng Shishui and Qiu Yilan to grab a handful. He also grabbed a handful and sprinkled them on the pool surface, attracting colorful people. Schools of fish were coming in large numbers - she looked around while scattering food, "Sister-in-law, they haven't come yet?"
"Unless it's their business, in which case are they not the last ones to come?" He Shuijin wiped off the debris on his hands, took out the handkerchief to wipe it, and looked at the crested hairpin and peony beads on Qiu Yilan's bun. , the smile on his lips deepened, "Nineteen brothers and sisters are so beautiful today, especially this hairpin... As expected from my grandfather, it really complements your appearance!"
When she said this, a look of urgency appeared on Xiao Tao's face. He wanted to speak, but Sheng Si Shui secretly pulled his sleeves and stopped him in confusion.
"Don't tell me that I haven't noticed yet. I just feel that the nineteen brothers and sisters are so radiant today." Mrs. Zhang looked at her seriously after hearing this and said with a smile, "Wearing all the good things given by our grandparents? What do you mean for those of us who don't have them?" Envy?"
Qiu Yilan glanced at her suspiciously and then at He Shuijin, thinking to herself: "Why does the tone mean that she doesn't know that Dafang wants this crested hairpin?"
Not only her, but also Shi and Mi Yinyin obviously didn't know about this inside story, and they all echoed Zhang's words and joked.
"That's right, He Shuijin took charge of the Jiang family's general ledger before even entering the door. Although this is because of her ability, the third bedroom is the eldest daughter-in-law of Qin Guogong. But she is not the eldest daughter-in-law of the third bedroom! Shi Even if the two sisters-in-law of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang don't live up to expectations, the elder and the younger will always be there. Even if they don't have power, they probably won't be as harmonious with her as they seem to be if they are criticized for being inferior to their sister-in-law... "Qiu Yilan thought about it and understood, "So of course I can't tell them everything about the information I and Shuijin found out..."
As for why Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Shi, who had married into the Jiang family for many years, did not find out the news with Shuijin first... She remembered that she had a very close relationship with Mrs. Tao before they met Shuijin. At that time, Mrs. Tao When people live in other courtyards, He Shuijin often stays there.
Even if this has a lot to do with where Jiang Qizheng lives, isn't Jiang Qizheng herself close to Mrs. Tao
"First come first to get the moon near the water!" Qiu Yilan decided, "In the future, I will try to improve my favorability with Mrs. Tao more often!"
"How could it be?" Qiu Yilan lowered her head to think about something, but little Mrs. Tao became anxious and said on her behalf, "This is the first time for the nineteen younger siblings to come here. I'm afraid that if they don't dress carefully, you might think she is neglecting her!"
"Brothers and sisters, you are too careful. We are all our own people. Who should choose your gift for such a trivial matter?" Mrs. Shi smiled and was about to invite them to sit at the seats set up under the flower stand - there was already a message on the flower path. There was the sound of footsteps of a group of people, and the following person arrived without saying a word: "Hey, are you all here? We thought it was early for us to come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Dou, a woman in a goose-yellow dress, Xiao Zhuang, and her sister-in-law came out hand in hand.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, eleven younger brothers and sisters, are you here?" The host, Madam Zhang, hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. Young Madam Dou and others were about to reply when they saw Qiu Yilan with a crest on her hair, and her expression suddenly changed!
