After Jiang Yadan heard the worries of his brother and sister-in-law, he said disapprovingly: "What happened between them and Qiu Jinglan? They have already told the fourth and fifth brothers!"
"Do Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother still want to accept them?" Qiu Yilan was surprised.
"What does this have to do with it? Who expects them to be chaste and fierce women?" Jiang Yadan sneered, "The fourth brother and the fifth brother liked their talents and appearance, so they accepted them. Speaking of which, although they were famous in the government and the public, , We are all noble people, and we have never been in vain, but after all, time has passed, and now our appearance will fade, and if we don't do good, we will inevitably end up in a miserable place, but I may not be hostile to you, my nineteen brothers and sisters. "
Qiu Yilan said: "I'm not afraid of any hostility from them towards me..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yadan said to himself: "Even if there is hostility, think about it, they are all in their twenties now. How many people in Fengyue Field don't like the new and dislike the old? There are only four Brother and Fifth Brother have just come to Beijing, so they are so confused that they must be admitted in a few years. Who will remember them?"
"..." Qiu Yilan had nothing to say. After all, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan were not only not the same grandfather as theirs, but they had only met recently. So far, they were always polite when they met. They were not close enough to stop them from accepting each other. Hua Shen and Penglai Yue do not become enemies.
So I can only return in vain.
On the way back, Jiang Yashuang comforted her and said: "Although the war in Western Xinjiang was not as smooth as in Northern Xinjiang, nothing major went wrong. In this way, Dafang had no reason or opportunity to intervene, and naturally he couldn't do anything to my brother! Fourth Brother Not to mention the fifth brother, even if Hua Shen and Penglai Yue get married, so what happens between them and their brother? "
As for whether Hua Shenchen and Penglai Yue would anger Qiu Yilan, Jiang Yashuang felt that it would be unless the two courtesans wanted to die - and the courtyard where Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Ya stayed in the evening was next to the big house and far away from the fourth room. It's impossible for those two people to come to the fourth room alone to visit. They were both in the Duke's Mansion, but they could hardly touch each other. They couldn't care about anything, so what could they do to Qiu Yilan
That's it.
Within a few days, with the help of Jiang Yadan, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan were redeemed by Hua Shenchen and Penglai Yue, and were placed in a villa not far from the Duke's Mansion. These two people have been confounding all sentient beings for nearly ten years, and their tricks of seduction are so good that they not only coaxed Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan to ignore the rules that Jiang family children must have good families when taking concubines, but also made them solemnly ask someone to watch their lives.
At the beginning of May, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan held a wedding banquet in the yard where they lived, and invited Jiang Yadan and other children of the Jiang family, as well as a few friends with foreign surnames they had met in recent days--that is, dandies from other families to witness the ceremony. Officially accepted Hua Shen and Penglai Yue into the house.
After the two people came in, Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan indulged in the gentle countryside and stopped hanging out with Jiang Yadan. They stayed in the room all day without going out. He Shuijin privately revealed to Qiu Yilan: "Fourth sister-in-law and The fifth sister-in-law was gnashing her teeth in hatred, but how could those two masters be so easy to mess with? The two sisters-in-law just beat each other up a bit, but they were severely sued by them because they cared about the health of the fourth brother and the fifth brother. , It’s such a shame!”
"I'm afraid that Brother Eight will be hated by the two sisters-in-law!" Qiu Yilan sighed, "I heard from Nineteen yesterday that Brother Four and Brother Five don't even care about Jing Mu and Jing Man now, they are all focused on pleasing those people. Top two!"
He Shuijin's lips curled up: "The fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law have been planning to arrange for their confidants to go out and buy someone for the past two days!"
"Um?"
"They think that their beauty has faded with age. Even when they were young, their appearance and ability to seduce people were not comparable to those of the first-class courtesans from the fireworks fields in Beijing. Therefore, they wanted to find someone who could compete with them in the ring. Yes, let out a bad breath!" He Shuijin said, "After all, their natal family is far away from our Jiang family, and the second and fifth brothers were married to them because they were kept in Kui County. Now the fourth brother and the fifth brother are obsessed with the concubine. They have to live and die, can they not worry? "
Qiu Yilan muttered: "I'm afraid this person is difficult to buy."
"Of course it's hard to buy. I only have beauty, but I may not be able to compete with those two!" He Shuijin muttered, "You have beauty and means, and your ambition is not small. How can you be willing to be driven by the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law? ? It seems that these two sisters-in-law are just chasing tigers and swallowing wolves, and they will have to worry about it in the future! "
After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief again, "But it's a good thing that Hua Shen Shen and Penglai Yue won over the fourth and fifth brothers to stay in the house and not go out! These two are people who take money as money, and the previous expenses When he came to me, I immediately got up and chased people away!”
Qiu Yilan asked: "Is it the last time I traveled with Bage? How much did it cost?"
After talking to Shuijin about the number, Qiu Yilan suddenly had the urge to chase people away with her: "Why is there so much?! How much will our joint family spend in the next year?"
It's only ten days and a half, which is less than a month when it's full. The expenses are actually close to what Hefu spent in less than half a year! Who can accept this kind of relative as a normal person
"I asked your fourteenth brother to go and ask the eighth brother about what happened. He said that the fourth brother and the fifth brother were a little uneasy on the way to the 'Yinchun Tower'. I asked them directly that they were traveling for the first time and had no experience. It must be the oiran in Beijing. Are you used to seeing big scenes? Will you look down on them at all and make them lose face in front of others?" At this point, He Shuijin looked grim and said, "What do you mean, Brother Ba?"
"What did he say?" Qiu Yilan felt that Jiang Yadan must not have said anything nice!
Sure enough, "He said that Goulan is one family, and the rich man is the boss. If you are more generous, who cares if you are a regular customer?"
"Then the fourth brother and the fifth brother gave Huashen a bucket of pearls as soon as they met!"
"If I haven't finished a bowl of tea, half a cart of Yunjin, which is worth as much as gold, will be gone!"
"The flower was caressed deeply, and the fourth brother was so excited that he wanted to give her a house. Before the others came forward, the fifth brother started a fight with him, saying that he wanted to give her a bigger house than the one given by the fourth brother. Zhaizi... The two of them are fighting for wealth all the way, promising countless benefits like a flowing stream! "
He Shuijin sneered, "The two of them are very generous, but they didn't pay a single penny. They asked the turtle slave over there to take note of it all, and have people come to the house to ask me for the account! If they hadn't included people in Now that they are in love with each other, I suspect that they are collaborating to extort something from our Duke’s palace!”
"...If you say so, I also think it's a good thing that Hua Shen and Penglai Yue are admitted!" Qiu Yilan sighed.
Although she doesn't expect to live on the property of the Duke's government, she will certainly feel unhappy when she sees people who are not qualified to share the property squandering it in such a big way!
At the end of May, it was time for the Queen Mother to go to Dizi Mountain to escape the summer heat.
Qin Guogong's situation this year is a little better than last year, but Dr. Lin still did not recommend going bumpy, so the Jiang family once again stayed.
"Keep an eye on them, don't run too fast and fall under the steps!" The blazing summer sun scorched the earth. The tall trees around the yard had been stuck to them twice, and there were still cicadas that had leaked out and made boring cicada sounds. Ming, adding to the restlessness.
Qiu Yilan was wearing a loose, chest-high skirt, lying on the vines under the grape trellis, squinting at the halo of light that occasionally leaked through the dense grape leaves.
There are four ice mirrors placed around the rattan bed, and the gentle breeze feels cool.
Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang were running up and down the corridor not far away. The screams and play of young children made the small courtyard extremely lively and made Qiu Yilan worried about an accident.
"Wherever there are steps, go and stand in pairs. When you see Young Master Sun approaching, protect him. Don't let Young Master Sun bump into each other! Otherwise, watch your skin carefully!" Qu's mother said in response.
Mother Zhou handed over a cup of sour plum soup and said distressedly: "Young madam, you didn't sleep all night last night, and you didn't want to eat anything when you got up this morning. Now you have a little appetite, drink it quickly!"
When Qiu Yilan was pregnant with Jiang Jinglang, it was as if she had not been pregnant. She could eat, drink, and sleep. Even the birth was surprisingly smooth. I wonder if she ran out of good luck with her first child, and now this one is not going through all the trouble:
I realized I was pregnant due to morning sickness. After taking the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the doctor, I was fine for two to three months. I thought it was the same as when I was pregnant with Jiang Jinglang! Lian He Shuijin said he was envious that she could have a second child so quickly without suffering much. However, she started vomiting again without any warning two days ago!
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yashuang was so frightened that she asked someone to open the door of her house to invite the doctor. After struggling all night, she finally invited Dr. Lin to come and take a look, and then she was sure that Qiu Yilan was fine and that she was pregnant. The reaction was quite big - from that night to now, Qiu Yilan vomited and vomited after eating, which completely hurt her appetite.
No, I haven't eaten for a whole day and a night, and I finally have some appetite. I only asked for a bowl of sour plum soup, and I wasn't interested in anything else.
At this moment, Zhou's mother drank half of the cup with her hand, then pushed it away: "I can't eat any more!"
Zhou's mother and Qu's mother looked at each other a little worried. How can this pregnant woman not eat
Before the two mothers could come up with an idea, someone outside reported that Princess Yishu was here.
"Please!" Qiu Yilan immediately sat up after hearing the words - Swing always comes to the door for no matter what, and there must be something going on when he comes. I don't know what it is this time
After a while, Swing Shi Shiran entered the courtyard, holding two willow hats in his hand. Looking at the freshness of the leaves, he knew they must have been broken after entering the Duke's Mansion. She nodded to Qiu Yilan and said hello. She walked to the corridor and called Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang to her side. She smiled and gave them each one to wear: "How is Auntie's swing craftsmanship?"
"Look carefully for the bugs on it!" Qiu Yilan quickly reminded him that there was no shortage of caterpillars on the willow leaves this season.
"Knowing that they are delicate, I picked them all and washed them in the lake." He spread his hands on the swing, walked down the corridor, and sat down on the soft couch in front of her, "I am determined not to hurt these two treasures, so don't worry! "
She said so, but Qu's mother still picked up the two willow hats and inspected them carefully before putting them back on the two brothers Jiang Jingkun. This was the first time for the two of them to see the willow hats. They were very fresh and they both happily thanked the swing. A gift from my aunt.
"You know how to fool children!" Qiu Yilan said with disdain, "It's embarrassing to ask about this craftsmanship...it's not as good as the one I made up!"
"It's not for you. If your son and nephew like it, it means I'm good at my craftsmanship!" The swing said proudly.
Qiu Yilan curled her lips: "You are a rare visitor, why are you here this time?"
"It's too hot, and I can't eat or drink well. I told Sister Mei that I wanted to find a better cook, but she refused, so I have no choice but to come over and eat at your place!" Shuqian sighed upon hearing this, "You don't know where we live now..."
"Wait a minute!" Qiu Yilan signaled everyone to move away and asked in a low voice suspiciously, "At the end of last year, didn't my brother send Ruan Yi back quietly to hand over 'Tianya' to you? Why is Mei Xue still in the capital? And you guys Didn’t you go to escape the heat?”
The corner of Swing's mouth twitched and said: "Your brother just gave us an empty shell! Do you think we can give orders immediately when we take over? Now Sister Mei wants to break a penny in half and spend it. Except for my brother, she and I have food, clothing and clothing." My temperament is decreasing again and again, why don’t I give you a beating?”
"That's it?" Qiu Yilan couldn't help but laugh, "Is there anything else?"
"Of course not!" Swing Qian vowed, "If you don't believe it, send someone to bring me food every day and I won't come."
"Am I that stingy?" Qiu Yilan turned around and called Zhou's mother over, "Go ahead and clean up a room for Qian'er to live in!"
...Jiang Yashuang came back in the evening and knew about this. He smiled and said, "Is it possible that you provoked someone or something unspeakable and came to hide in our yard? It's not like your cousin would go out of her way to get some food and drink." People who come to stay for a while.”
"I think so too." Qiu Yilan smiled proudly, "After I let her stay here, I quietly sent someone to check - let me tell you, she is getting older, and I have never been interested in marrying her in the past two years. Maybe it has something to do with this!”
