"Mi Yinyin was a little crazy when she was in the Marquis Mansion. After being forcibly sent back to her parents' home, the Thirteenth Young Master wrote a letter of divorce - although later, through the mediation of the Sixth Madam, it was changed to a divorce, but it was not the Thirteenth Young Madam after all. When Mi Yinyin found out, she went even crazier!" Su He said, "She was so miserable at home, even though Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Chu loved her. But I couldn’t stop the rest of the family from living a good life because of her, so I coaxed her and sent her to live in Zhuangzi outside the city!”
Qiu Yilan asked: "When is this?"
"It was the days before New Year's Eve last year. Are you afraid that she will disturb the happiness during the big festival?" Su He guessed, "She went to live in Zhuangzi for a month. After the first month of this year, she gradually got better. . Young Madam, you know that Mi Yinyin is very favored by her mother's family, and she had no choice but to send her to Zhuangzi, so her grandmother and mother were very happy when they found out that she was well, so they took her back to the city. We stayed until the end of February, and seeing that her behavior and speech had returned to normal, we started making plans to find her another husband."
This is common sense. Today's atmosphere is open, and people who really care about their daughters don't care about sticking to it until the end. It had been more than ten years since Ruan Ciyi came out of the cabinet earlier and she had given birth to two children. After her marriage to Fang Nongyan, Qiu Jinglan forced her to remarry. What's more, Mi Yinyin was only in her early twenties, which was her prime
"Is there something wrong with the husband the Mi family found for her?" Qiu Yilan guessed, "But what does this have to do with our fourth room? Could it be that their family has taken a fancy to someone who is related to our room?" she asked in her heart. As soon as I thought about it, I thought of Xun Yuxi. Xun Yuxi is now the prospective grandson-in-law of the Xue family. The Mi family should not be obsessed with competing with the Xue family. However, Xun Yuxi and Xue Nongqing were engaged in April, at the end of February. At that time, there was no news about this matter.
Fortunately, the matter was not so bloody. Su He shook his head: "Mi Yinyin was the young lady of our family after all. If she is still married in Beijing, it will inevitably lead to embarrassment in the future. Besides, the reason why she reconciled with the Thirteenth Young Master, outside Everyone said that she was unworthy, jealous and childless, and no decent family in Beijing wanted her, so the Mi family chose a son from a prefect from out of town, thinking that she would be far away and would not be affected by the high official position. I won’t underestimate her—there’s nothing wrong with the prefect’s family, but Mi Yinyin went crazy again after knowing this!”
Qiu Yilan stroked her forehead: "What kind of crazy method?"
"Jumping into lakes, jumping off buildings, and swallowing gold - it's all about seeking death and finding a living!" Su He spread his hands, "The Mi family had no choice but to terminate the marriage and send her to a village outside the city!"
"What does this have to do with our room? Why did Mi Yinyin's mother ask Princess Lihui to send me a secret message?" Qiu Yilan asked in confusion, "Does she think her daughter's madness has something to do with our room?"
Su He said: "The matter was not over yet. She was sent to Zhuangzi in early March and went crazy for ten days. In mid-March, she figured it out again - but this time the Mi family did not dare to believe it easily and sent people to test it. As a result, Mi Yinyin said in a nice way that she was confused in the past and felt ashamed of her elders' cultivation... She said that the people who were sent there shed tears. After she returned to the Mi family, she truthfully reported it, and the Mi family took her back. Find someone to remarry for her."
Qiu Yilan felt confused: "Just tell me the result. Why does Mrs. Michu want us to inquire about her situation?"
"It is said that Mi Yinyin has been normal since she was brought back to the Mi family in mid-March. The candidate for her remarriage has been decided, and it is Jiang Hao, the nephew of Songzhou Governor." Su Heyi pursed his lips, "Jiang Hao followed him My uncle is in Songzhou, and Mi Yinyin doesn’t know if she will ever return to Beijing again in this life. Before she leaves, she hopes to get together with her former boudoir friends. "
"That's it!" Qiu Yilan nodded, wondering that on the day Zhuang Man came out of the cabinet, Princess Lihui reminded her in a roundabout way that something had happened with Jiang Qizheng's Mi family, but she refused to tell the details, and emphasized that she could not do so at the request of relatives. After spreading this word - not to mention that Mi Yinyin is now the wife of Heli, and that this Heli was earned for her by her aunt by suppressing her son. Let's talk about her hatred with Xin Fuling. How many people can she invite now? To see her off when she gets married
After all, time has passed and the ladies who were carefree back then are now wives and even mothers. Even people like Zhuang Man are not allowed to be willful, let alone others? Even if you sympathize with Mi Yinyin's current situation and are willing to see her, you still have to consider whether it will offend the queen!
And the Queen's best female companion is Qiu Yilan - if Qiu Yilan is willing to go with her compassion, others don't need to worry.
However, the nobles all know that the relationship between Qiu Yilan and the Queen was established when the Queen was at odds with Mi Yinyin. How could Qiu Yilan make the queen unhappy because of Mi Yinyin
So no matter how much the Mi Chu family begged Princess Lihui, Princess Lihui's biggest concession was to hint Qiu Yilan to find out what happened to the Mi family. In this way, if Qiu Yilan takes pity on Mi Yinyin and is willing to go, that would be best; if she is unwilling to go, Princess Lihui can also avoid losing face when she talks to her face to face, and also avoid offending the queen if the news reaches her ears.
"Of course I won't go." Qiu Yilan made the decision without much thought, "Not to mention that there are many things at home and I can't get away at all. If I go, it will make the queen unhappy. Mi Yinyin, I Although we didn’t get along with each other often, we also knew that she was weak since she was little, and her family loved her very much. When she left the pavilion, she was supported and cared for by her sixth aunt as if she were her own daughter. This kind of person is sensitive and fragile, and when she competed with others, I can't stand it after hearing a few compliments about my opponent, let alone this series of blows? I'm not afraid of her, but why bother?"
After knowing what Princess Lihui hinted at that day, Qiu Yilan put it aside.
The most taboo thing about taking a stand is swinging from side to side, and Mi Yinyin went crazy at such a young age. Although the experience of going crazy is indeed pitiful, the so-called pitiful people must have something hateful in them - thinking about her just coming in, Her aunt was in pain, and Jiang Yalan was willing to let her go. To be honest, she was mostly responsible for such a hand of cards leading to the current situation.
However, Jiang Qizheng felt troubled when she found out. She pondered for a long time before discussing with Qiu Yilan: "Yin Yin is about to marry far away, and I would like to invite old friends to get together. I know you won't go, but I'm afraid I can't refuse!"
"If Sister Eighteen is going to go, you'd better say hello to the Queen." Qiu Yilan reminded.
She knew that Jiang Qizheng's situation was different from hers. She thought that the first time she met Mi Yinyin was when Jiang Qizheng invited her to Jinxiu Slope, which was only a few years ago. The two have never had a close relationship, but they are just superficially friendly, so it makes sense that they should not be invited now.
But not to mention that Jiang Qizheng and Mi Yinyin grew up together. That year at the Jinxiu Slope, Jiang Qizheng and Jiang Qisheng had a quarrel with Jiang Qizheng because of Qiu Yilan, and they called away their female companions in an attempt to let them go. Jiang Qizheng made a fool of herself when she was arguing with Gu Grace - even He Shuijin, who had the best relationship with Jiang Qizheng at that time, was afraid of offending his sister-in-law-to-be and left. Although the queen did not intend to leave at first, she finally entrusted her to take care of her sweetheart's sister. All the lion cats left; only Mi Yinyin stayed and challenged Jiang Qizheng on his behalf.
For this reason, now that Mi Yinyin invites Jiang Qizheng, it is indeed difficult not to go.
After listening to Qiu Yilan's words, she begged: "The Queen, please ask your younger siblings to help explain!"
Jiang Qizheng did not choose a side in the dispute between the queen and Mi Yinyin, but Mi Yinyin grew up with her, and Xin Fubing was sent back to the capital after she grew a little older. In terms of friendship, the latter is not as good as the former. But now that the latter has become the queen, she will not offend him as long as possible.
Qiu Yilan did not refuse: "I am going to send someone to Dizi Mountain tomorrow to deliver some things to cousin Ruan, and I just want her to tell Man'er to tell the Queen!"
Because the Jiang family couldn't go with them to escape the summer heat this year, Ruan Ciyi originally planned not to go, but Li Qianzhi said: "It's as hot as a stove every year in Beijing. Without ice, even adults find it uncomfortable; with ice, it's as hot as a furnace." It's not pleasant to live in a stuffy house. Our children are still young and weak, so why not go to the mountains to cool down? You just want to send someone to visit you often, even if you only stay in the summer for a few months? How can we see each other every day if we don’t go to Beijing?”
Ruan Ciyi changed her mind.
After Qiu Yilan found out, in order to make Ruan Ciyi feel at ease while staying in Dizi Mountain, she promised to report that she was safe every three days. Calculating the time, the Holy Driver should have just arrived at the palace. When the people she sent arrived, it was estimated that Ruan Ciyi had already The annex has been packed up, and there is no delay in summoning people - in fact, Qiu Yilan's people can also directly ask to see Zhuang Man, without having to go through Ruan Ciyi. She made this arrangement out of selfish motives to give Ruan Ciyi more time. The opportunity to show her face in front of senior officials also allowed Jiang Qizheng to remember Ruan Ciyi's favor.
This cannot be said to be a deliberate plot against Jiang Qizheng or the Queen, but just a way to help her cousin along. Jiang Qizheng saw it, but it didn't matter: "Thank you, brothers and sisters. I'll go back to Mi's house and ask about the specific date of the gathering!"
... After the Holy Driver left, Jingli suddenly fell silent.
There is also a sense of desolation in the Duke's Mansion.
Early in the morning, Qiu Yilan woke up from her sleep. Through the ice gauze tent, she saw a tiny bit of light that was about to be extinguished in the thick gauze lampshade outside the tent, and she sighed silently.
Although she sighed silently, Jiang Yashuang still noticed it and asked vaguely: "Are you worried about your brother?"
"Maybe it's hot." Qiu Yilan replied lazily, "The ice in the ice mirror seems to have turned into water? If you are not afraid of the cold, could you ask them to put more ice tonight?"
She was naturally worried about Qiu Jinglan, but it wasn't just Qiu Jinglan. On a sultry summer day in Beijing, even if you are hiding in a cool room, just thinking about the bright sun will make people feel restless for no reason, and there are thousands of things that are just disturbing, like some bad omen. Overall, the Jiang family is having a particularly rough time this year.
But this year is not over yet, and this unhappiness seems determined to continue.
Just as Jiang Yashuang said "yes" to his wife's proposal, rapid footsteps came from outside, making them sit up in horror!
Fortunately, I didn't tell you that Duke Qin's condition had worsened!
But it’s not much better—well, maybe it’s not purely bad news for the fourth room
Anyway, the Kui County man is gone.
Before the sky was completely white, the entire Duke's Mansion was suddenly brightly lit!
Except for the inexperienced children, all the owners stood up in a hurry, and during the process of getting up, they all received strong instructions from Mrs. Tao: "First, the news must be hidden from Chao Hai! Second, everyone comes to our courtyard immediately Discuss!”
