At six o'clock the next day, Qiubo came to visit with his young sister Swing.
Qiu Yilan went to the second gate to greet them in person, which made the two sisters very flattered. Perhaps she had taken into account that Qiu Yilan was in the middle of mourning, and she no longer wore the gorgeous dress at the gate of Gongyuan. She was wearing a light-colored pea green ground branch. Wearing a summer dress with wide sleeves and breasts with lotus pattern, it is tied with a spiritual snake bun. There are not many pearls on the bun, and a white jade luan hairpin sets off the hair on the temples like ink.
It's just that she looks a little bit naturally charming. Although she is dressed simply and has a dignified expression, she still has a charming charm no matter how she looks at her.
The twelve-year-old Swing was quite innocent, following Qiu Bo step by step, with a restrained expression, but when Qiu Yilan wasn't paying attention, she looked around curiously, revealing her childishness.
While Qiu Yilan was talking to Qiu Bo, she looked at her out of the corner of her eye: her melon-seed face was slightly baby-fat, her eyebrows were like green feathers, her eyes were like apricots, and her skin was so tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out - it would stand out wherever it was placed. She is so beautiful, no wonder her brothers and sisters have high hopes for her.
"But the beauty of the country may be a generation of queens, or a generation of famous prostitutes. Whether this little girl is destined to marry a rich family in the future, we will have to enter the boudoir school to know." Qiu Yilan thought to herself.
The three of them were chatting and laughing as they walked towards Qiu Yilan's yard. Unexpectedly, when they turned around a gable wall covered with roses, they suddenly came face to face with Qiu Hongzhi and several people striding towards him - he didn't look very well, he seemed to have just been injured. rebuke.
I was stunned when I bumped into him twice, and I subconsciously blocked the swing with my eyes. Seeing this, Qiu Yilan frowned and said, "Brother, why did you leave from here? Isn't this a place for women to leave?"
Qiu Hongzhi said angrily: "The princess just summoned me. I'm in a hurry to do something. Come here!" At this point, he casually glanced at Qiubo and saw her slightly pulling up her clothes and lowering her head, showing her charm. Chu Chu's attitude couldn't help but be startled - thanks to the help of the waiter behind him, he didn't lose his composure. He forced himself to cover up calmly, "How did I know that you have a female guest coming now? You didn't tell me!"
"Then let's go!" Qiu Yilan had to entertain the Qiu Bo sisters today, and she didn't bother to argue with him, so she snorted.
Qiu Hongzhi also snorted, led the people away, and whispered to the boy who had just pulled him: "Go and find out, what are the origins of these two people today?"
It was not difficult to find out. Half an hour later, the servant placed the origins of the three Qiu family siblings on Qiu Hong's desk.
"Is this a family that has recently moved to the capital?" Qiu Hongzhi felt relieved when he saw this detail, but then he frowned, "Qiu Nie, a new scholar? Is your surname also Qiu?" He had just noticed the beauty at a glance. He is a woman, but he has already decided on his first wife. Besides, for the sake of his position as the heir apparent, he cannot marry a woman with no background—not to mention someone with the same surname.
The problem is, ordinary people with some sense of integrity would not let their daughter be a concubine, let alone the sister of a newly crowned Jinshi who is very proud of herself.
Jin Chan saw that his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed to attach great importance to that look, and felt sour in his heart, so he said: "Young master, you have to be careful. This Qiu family, the one over there who personally welcomed him into the house, also called You bumped into... maid, but I'm worried, is that person planning something else? "
These words reminded Qiu Hongzhi that in the face of power, his lustful thoughts calmed down. He closed the history of the three siblings of the Qiu family and handed it to Jin Chan: "Go and give it to the princess, who suddenly invited this person?" If the daughter of the Qiu family enters the boudoir school in our house... I'm afraid something will happen."
Qiu Hongzhi endured the pain and stopped thinking, but Qiu Yilan had a very happy conversation with her, and it felt like they felt like old friends at first sight.
But it was probably Qiu Yilan who was talking to Qiu Bo. The swing sat obediently at the bottom, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart. The sitting posture was dignified and respectful, impeccable. The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, with a little smile, but there was no trace of it. What did you say
Qiu Yilan kept an eye on her for a long time and couldn't help but ask Qiu Bo: "Have you practiced your sister's manners?"
"Once upon a time, there was an old palace maid in the village who returned home. I asked her to teach Qian'er for a few days. However, the child was stupid and didn't learn much. The princess laughed at her." Qiu Bo probably asked for help today, but he didn't He was as free as before and answered very humbly.
Qiu Yilan smiled and said: "Sister Qiubo, don't belittle yourself too much. In my opinion, Qian'er's manners are already very good. Even if she enters the boudoir school, she will probably just make some adjustments."
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, and Qiu Yilan stayed with the sisters for lunch. After the meal, Qiu Bo left and left, but Qiu Yilan suggested that Zhu Qi stay and follow the afternoon class - there was originally a class in the morning, because it was necessary To entertain them, Qiu Yilan took a leave of absence.
In the afternoon, Qiu Yilan brought the swing to her boudoir school. Shao Yuemei and Sheng Shishui both expressed welcome more or less - only Qiu Mingzhu sat there expressionlessly, indifferent to the swing.
Even when Swing took the initiative to salute and greet her, she ignored him and only asked Shao Yuemei: "Sir, can you continue the lecture?"
Qiu Yilan said lightly: "Qian'er doesn't need to pay attention to this person. Her ears have always been good and bad."
"You!" Qiu Mingzhu turned around and glared at her.
Qiu Yilan gave her a provocative and contemptuous look.
Qiu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and almost broke the purple hair. She didn't dare to fight her, so she just snorted and turned her head to the side!
Shao Yuemei smiled softly, as if she hadn't seen this scene, but Sheng Shishui came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiu Si has this temper, Qian'er, don't be surprised..."
Qiu Mingzhu was so angry that Qiu Yilan couldn't help it. When she heard this, she said coldly: "Who are you to me?! Do you want you to apologize for me? I don't think there are some people who are worthy of me to apologize, right?!"
Sheng Shishui was humiliated in this way, but he was still not annoyed and said with a smile: "We are studying in the boudoir school together, so we should help each other. Didn't Mr. teach you the principle of 'harmony' just two days ago? What the Fourth Miss said But it’s out of sight.”
"How shameless!" Qiu Mingzhu said loudly with a gloomy face.
Sheng Shishui was still not annoyed, and smiled and said, "Miss Fourth, what a mouth! You are so unforgiving, I'm afraid of you!"
At this time, Swing asked timidly: "Am I sitting here?"
"Yes, I sent someone to bring this set of tables and chairs two days ago. Do you like it? If you don't like it, go get another set later." Qiu Yilan said lazily, leaning on her snow cheeks.
"Thank you sister Lan, I like it very much." Swing said hurriedly.
Sheng Si Shui listened to the swing and was able to call Qiu Yilan "Sister Lan". His eyes flashed and he looked at the swing a little deeper.
"Well, I'm helping you, right?" Qiu Yilan pretended not to notice - she thought to herself, "These four people in my school, I have made it clear that I have all kinds of preferences for you. Even if there is no conflict in the past, they can all There is a conflict, not to mention that if you are brought in by me, you will be regarded as an enemy by them? If you can take the trick, you can take the path of the future hostess of the mansion. If you can't take the trick, go back and live peacefully... These days, women are getting married. It’s early, so don’t delay the little girl’s youth.”
Anyway, they were all watching under her nose. No matter how fierce the fight was, she thought she could deal with the aftermath.
From now on, Swing will come to class every day, and Qiu Yilan will have lunch with her. This girl has learned some lessons before, but the female teacher who taught her before is indeed not on the same level as Shao Yuemei. In addition, she is from a low background and has limited knowledge. Now she has to make up for a lot of lessons at once.
Qiu Yilan originally planned to build a courtyard next to her girlfriend's school for her to live in - anyway, there was also Shao Yuemei living here, so she was not afraid of one more. However, Qiu Qian missed her family and chose to go to school as a day student, so Qiu Yilan went with her.
After a few days of this, although there were occasional quarrels in the class, the quarrels were generally not so intense that we couldn't even attend class.
Swing always looks timid and like a typical little girl - that is, Qiu Mingzhu's words are really ugly and confused, and it seems that she is not really naive and ignorant.
When the Oiran competition was coming to an end, Qiu Yilan was called over by Ruan Qingyan again. As soon as the two siblings met, Qiu Yilan immediately said righteously: "I've been very good recently! I haven't done anything! I study, calligraphy and do my homework every day!" If you hear anything bad, it must be slander!”
Ruan Qingyan looked at her strangely: "Why did I call you over just to scold you?"
"You won't scold me?" Qiu Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Then I'll be relieved..."
"Wait a minute!" Ruan Qingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously, "If you really didn't do anything wrong, why would you rush to tell me the truth when you see me?"
Qiu Yilan said angrily: "You have been talking about me these two times! How nice you were when we first met! In just a few months, you have changed! Now I am afraid when I see you!"
Ruan Qingyan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said coldly: "Oh? Are you afraid of me?"
When Qiu Yilan saw him like this, she felt guilty for no reason, and said sarcastically: "Good cousin, I was just joking... You must have something wrong when you called me here, right? Let's talk about serious matters..."
"If you are really afraid of me, have you heard any of the words I told you over and over again?! Tell me clearly!" Ruan Qingyan shouted coldly with a sullen face!
Qiu Yilan immediately switched to the tearful mode, and rushed forward, pulling her sleeves and shaking her arms: "I was wrong! I was just joking, cousin, don't be so petty, you are only joking!"
Ruan Qingyan said angrily: "And you can speak with your own conscience! If you weren't stupid, when would I have disciplined you?! Let alone talk to you properly, have you ever ignored me?!"
He couldn't believe that this cousin had the nerve to complain that he was too cruel! If he hadn't been so cruel, this naughty kid would have gone to the house to uncover the tiles, okay
"...!!!" Qiu Yilan secretly regretted that she was too guilty. She vomited blood, made tearful self-examinations, and coquettishly acted cutely. It took a lot of effort to coax Ruan Qingyan's face into relief. , she asked as she was dying: "Cousin, what are you going to do if you call me here today?"
Ruan Qingyan snorted: "The Oiran competition will end in two days. After that, you go out of the city to visit my aunt's grave."
Qiu Yilan asked in surprise: "Why? I just went to scan it."
"You can't do it again after you've done it? Just say you miss your aunt!" Ruan Qingyan shouted in a very feudal and authoritarian manner, "Anyway, you have to leave the city that day!"
"Why?" Qiu Yilan asked again unwillingly.
Ruan Qingyan glared at her: "I will also leave the city that day to find Yuxi... Just take a look in the car and see if you like it or not!"
