"Yes, we are on our way..." Little Dou's voice was only halfway through his words. He stared at the crested hairpin for a moment, but saw that Zhang and others were all looking at a loss, and Sheng Sishui lowered his eyes. Without saying a word, little Mrs. Tao's face turned red and she kept tugging on Qiu Yilan's sleeves - but Qiu Yilan was unmoved and smiled at her: "Sister-in-law, you also think this hairpin that my grandfather gave me is pretty. Right? I've been taking it out to play with almost every day for the past two days. Now that I'm here, I just can't help but let people use it."
She just had to write the word "provocative" clearly on her face. How could Little Dou not see it
At this moment, let alone Mrs. Dou, even Mrs. Miao, the second young lady in the goose-yellow dress, also had a dark face. However, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other, but did not answer Qiu Yilan's words, but looked at the extremely cramped Xiao. Tao said coldly: "We forgot to think about it. We came a little early. Will it disturb you? Or should we go out for a meeting first?"
Little Tao said in surprise: "No, why are you disturbing us?"
"Wasn't Wan'er, the eldest maid of the fourteenth brother and sister two days ago?" Miao snorted and said in a strange manner, "We also said that you came here early today to make amends to the fourteenth brother and sister again!"
"Speaking of the fourteenth brother and sister, you are not right. The eighth brother has been confused about women, not just once or twice." Little Dou immediately answered the words, showing off the eldest sister-in-law's airs and lectured, "After all, the eighth brother and sister are not like the tenth brother. Fourth brother and sister, you are always in charge of the fourteenth brother. How can you, a man, not pick a girl? With the eighth brother and sister's virtuousness, how can you not give her a status, nineteen? On their big day, my brother and his nineteenth brother and sister went to seek death! How lucky she was to think about you and go out and end it! You are such an ignorant maid, and you still make trouble in front of your second uncle for her..."
When He Shuijin heard Miao's words, the smile at the corner of his mouth had disappeared without a trace, and his face gradually turned livid!
Little Tao, on the other hand, wanted to lower her head to her chest, muttering not knowing what to say!
Qiu Yilan sighed inwardly, thinking that her sister-in-law was a nice person and would not suppress her sister-in-law, but she also had such a good temper! You can just bully me as much as you want!
She knew Sheng Shishui's origins and Jiang Yazhu's status in the Jiang family, so speaking out now was useless, so she stretched out her hand to support Feng Touchai. As expected, she received a hidden hateful glance from Little Dou, and then she said: " Isn't the news about the two sisters-in-law too late? As early as the evening when I served tea, everyone said that the matter was over and they would not mention it. Sister-in-law, don’t you know?”
Little Dou glanced at her expressionlessly: "Really? We really don't know. After all, no one told her. I heard the comments from the servants and said that the fourteenth brother and sister cried all afternoon that day. This matter has come to It’s still…”
"That's not surprising." Qiu Yilan interrupted her lightly, "After all, this matter belongs to the Duke's Mansion, and it's not something suitable for publicity. Why would I tell you, sister-in-law?"
"You..." An angry look flashed across Miao's face. Wasn't this implying that they were overstepping their authority by interfering in this matter
Little Dou's eyes were a bit colder: "We don't dare to take these words of the nineteenth brother and sister! We also heard that the fourteenth brother and sister made a big fuss that day, and we were afraid of hurting the harmony between our Jiang family sisters, so we only mentioned it! If If the nineteen brothers and sisters think that we are meddling in our own business, then we will not dare to say anything to you in the future!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "Jiang family" to remind Qiu Yilan that she was the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family! What happened to teaching my cousin-in-law a lesson
"Even my second uncle will ask us questions sometimes when we or mother are around!" Mrs. Miao sneered and muttered as if she was talking to Xiao Zhuang next to her, "Nineteen brothers and sisters are really big. The majesty!”
"It seems that the slaves around you, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, should be taken care of!" Qiu Yilan said lightly, "Sister-in-law 14 did go to grandma that day, but who said she made a big fuss? It was clear that she did everything in front of grandma. After only half a day of mourning, why did the servant in the main room actually say that he had been crying all afternoon? This is really unkind! Doesn't this mean that the 14th sister-in-law is not considerate of my grandmother? Such a servant has no rules. The more courage you get, the more harmonious the relationship between the sisters will be."
He glanced at He Shuijin and said, "Sister-in-law Fourteen, how was the situation that day?"
He Shuijin, of course, followed her and said: "What the Nineteenth Brother and Sister said is right. I went to my grandmother that day to talk about Wan'er, but it didn't take long. Later, I talked to my grandmother with my eighth sister-in-law. "How is it possible that I'm crying? My sisters-in-law don't know me. I love to talk and laugh. I have never cried a few times in my life!"
"Then why did Nineteen and the others also run over there in the evening?" Mrs. Miao couldn't help but said angrily when she saw them singing and distorting the truth!
"Second sister-in-law, what you said is really interesting!" Qiu Yilan didn't even raise her eyelids. "When the eighth sister-in-law and the fourteenth sister-in-law are in front of my grandmother, we and I can't go to say hello?! Or does your Miao family have such a rule? When the sisters-in-law are here, it’s not easy for the younger brother and sister-in-law to show their filial piety to the elders!”
Mrs. Miao was furious: "My Miao family's rules don't require your dictation -"
"Who has the patience to tell you about your family's rules?!" Qiu Yilan's voice was immediately louder than hers, "But since the Jiang family doesn't have such rules, I didn't do anything wrong! You Miao family has such rules, why should you trick Jiang? My wife’s head is over! My husband’s name is Jiang Yashuang, not Miao Yashuang. Can you be so unreasonable because you are my sister-in-law?”
Before Little Dou could speak, she preemptively resorted to complaining, "You're going too far! I'm going to find my grandmother to comment! I'm also going to ask my aunt. A sister-in-law uses the rules of her mother's family to restrain her sister-in-law. Oh my god." Is there something like this down there?! Those who didn’t know it thought it was the second brother who married into the Miao family! No, I, the sister-in-law, shouldn’t follow the rules of your family. You are really too much!”
“…!!!”
A moment ago, it was just a verbal fight. After just a few words, Qiu Yilan was about to leave. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Nineteen, please calm down! I don't think the second sister-in-law is so helpless." Rules..." The relationship between the third room and the first room was not good, so he took the opportunity to step on it, "She must have said the wrong thing in a hurry!"
Shi agreed: "The seventh brother and sister are right!" Then she said to Miao, "Second sister-in-law, please explain to the nineteenth brother and sister. She, the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, will definitely not be governed by the rules of the Miao family, right?"
He Shuijinze said leisurely: "Nineteenth brother and sister, please don't be angry. Second sister-in-law is always outspoken. She will say whatever she doubts..." Turning to Miao with a sigh on her face, "But second sister-in-law would rather trust this servant." You don’t believe me and my 19th brother and sister if you make excuses. This… hurts our sister-in-law’s relationship too much!”
"You...!" Mrs. Miao couldn't tell that the sister-in-law of the third room was talking about persuading peace but was actually ridiculing her? She was so angry that her whole body was trembling - Little Dou shook her hand hard and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it too much for the nineteen brothers and sisters to start a fight? We are waiting for you specially for this gathering today. How did your second sister-in-law ever say that we would If you follow the rules of the Miao family? Could it be that you misunderstood your second sister-in-law? Kiss me, I think it is better to untie than to tie the knot, what do my nineteen brothers and sisters think?"
Qiu Yilan snorted in her heart, this little Dou is worthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law among her grandchildren. She managed to reverse the disadvantage in just a few words and even beat her back.
Seeing the kind expression on her face that she was like a mother to her sister-in-law and could not bear the quarrel between sisters-in-law, Qiu Yilan cursed "Queen of the Movies" in her heart, and then said: "I am really confused by what my sister-in-law said. , I only met the second sister-in-law on the day of the tea ceremony, how could there be any misunderstanding? But the eldest sister-in-law speculated that there was a misunderstanding between me and the second sister-in-law... Did the eldest sister-in-law really hope that there would be a misunderstanding between me and the second sister-in-law? Is this unlucky?"
"Nineteenth brother and sister, if you think this way, then we will really not dare to associate with you in the future!" Little Dou's eyes flashed with anger, and then he shook his head and said, "With just a few ordinary words, you are so suspicious. … How should we talk to you?”
"This is all a misunderstanding. We are going to get together with He Lele today." Only now did Little Tao muster up the courage to speak, looking at both sides pleadingly, "How about... don't talk about this anymore? Okay? Let’s take a seat, shall we?”
Mrs. Zhang actually wishes that Qiu Yilan and Xiao Dou would fight harder, and the deeper the conflict between the first and fourth houses, the better.
But after little Mrs. Tao said this, they did not dare to continue to watch the fun - if word spread about the incident, Qin Guogong would not be happy knowing that the wives of the third wife were standing by and watching.
Although Qin Guogong would never openly speak ill of his wife or granddaughter-in-law, the impression of the third wife was affected, and the He family could not spare them!
So she sighed regretfully and said aloud: "That's right! We are all a family. Even if we occasionally have a small quarrel, it will be over after three or five drinks... How can we take it seriously? "
She hit her head, and Shi, He Shuijin, and Mi Yinyin all agreed - everyone coaxed, persuaded, and pulled, and finally managed to get all three people in the main room, as well as Qiu Yilan, to sit down on the table. Ms. Zhang hurriedly urged people to serve food and drinks in order to cover up the previous conflict.
"The nineteenth sister-in-law has just entered the house. My sister-in-law offers you a drink!" After the wine was served, Qiu Yilan had not yet greeted the sisters-in-law. Xiao Zhuang, following Xiao Dou's suggestion, reluctantly picked up the porcelain cup.
"It's my turn to toast my sisters-in-law, how dare I be toasting to my sisters-in-law?" Qiu Yilan raised her neck, turned the wine cup upside down, and showed it to everyone.
Seeing how happy she was, little Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Miao's eyes flashed, and they both raised their cups with half-smiling smiles: "As a family, what do you dare to do? You just came in, so we should give you a few toasts... I wish you and After nineteen years old, we will have a baby together!”
After finishing speaking, he drank a gulp.
Qiu Yilan immediately followed.
After Miao said, "Let's have a drink too," Qiu Yilan continued to take a sip.
Xiao Zhuang, who once again received looks from her sisters-in-law, raised her cup with a wry smile: "My sister-in-law is a good drinker, how about another one?"
"Dare you disobey your sister-in-law?" Qiu Yilan lit up the bottom of the cup happily.
... The three people in the first house took turns to salute twice. Little Dou already felt a little dizzy, but Qiu Yilan was still in high spirits. How could she not have guessed that this master was actually a giant? !
"Isn't there any way to trick her here?" Little Mrs. Dou secretly gritted his teeth, "This bitch is so arrogant! If I destroy her arrogance today, how can I bear this breath!"
She thought quickly and deliberately pretended that Wei Xun was very drunk. She stood up and walked to Qiu Yilan with staggering steps and "drunken eyes": "Tenth or nineteenth brother and sister! Sister-in-law... sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, I'd like to pay you another tribute..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly threw the wine cup and herself at Qiu Yilan!
