Hua Yang said with a smile: "No matter how lucky you are, it can't compare to the Third Wife. It's really enviable that the Sixth Master is so promising."
The third wife, Mrs. Han, said humbly: "I am usually naughty, but this time I just got lucky."
Who didn't know that two young masters from the Gu family were killed together, but neither of them succeeded in the examination? Han's words were very level, and they took care of the Gu family's face, which was very pleasant to listen to.
Huayang sighed greatly in his heart.
Look, after all, the master of poetry and calligraphy is not only not proud, but also lowers his attitude. If it were Zhou's stupid mistake, he would not raise his tail to the sky. It's a shame that I didn't win.
The girls started chatting, but Qingwan had nothing to do. She stood aside calmly, smiling and listening to the women talking.
Just after listening to a few words, someone tapped me on the shoulder. Looking back, I saw it was Mrs. Zhu.
"My ancestor is thinking about you, why don't you go over and say hello."
The identity of the ancestor of the Jiang family is not visible to ordinary people. She is too lazy to deal with scenes like this.
Qingguan smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for grandma to invite me."
"It's such a big show of arrogance. You even have to invite three times and four times." Zhu pretended to pinch her face.
Qingguan hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good sister-in-law, please spare me this time. I will give it to you later..."
Before he finished speaking, he glanced at her and saw how exquisite Zhu was. She smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth and called out: "Good sister."
Wu Yanling saw that the two people were so warm, and thinking about the help from the eldest lady in front, she felt a little sad, hid her feelings, and stepped forward to salute Mr. Zhu.
Only then did Mrs. Zhu notice her, and she praised Wu Yanling so hard that she felt embarrassed on her face, so she took the opportunity to excuse herself to the three ladies.
The three ladies knew it well and made Mr. Zhu entertain them well.
When Huayang saw Qingguan being dragged to see his ancestor, his heart moved and he hurriedly said: "I stayed in Jiangnan for five years, and I was always thinking about my ancestor. Now that I'm back, I have to kowtow to my ancestor no matter what." ”
When Huayang said this, the three ladies found it difficult to refuse. Kowtowing to greet an elderly person is the greatest respect for an elderly person, not to mention that he has a royal status, so it is not polite to prevent him from seeing him.
Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat and she said with a smile: "My ancestor has just recovered from his illness and didn't want to see anyone. The princess's filial piety is really touching. My two brothers and sisters, please greet me first. I will take the princess to pay my respects to my ancestor." ”
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Han know very well what their sister-in-law is thinking.
The living King of Hell in the house is already nineteen this year, but the marriage is still flying in the sky. Because of this son, my sister-in-law has turned many hairs gray in a hurry, and she often sheds tears in front of them.
Now the ancestor has taken a fancy to Qingguan for the Living King of Hell, and the Gu family is also interested in getting married. The sister-in-law has been smiling happily these days, and I am afraid that today she wants to talk about it while the princess is here.
The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just go, we are here to greet you."
The front of the ancestor's courtyard has five large rooms with carved beams and painted pillars, which is very grand.
Mrs. Zhu led the people into the courtyard, and was greeted by the maid who had already received the news. After a while, Qing Guan and Wu Yanling both knelt down on the futon and kowtowed.
Qingguan kowtowed for the first time after meeting his ancestors. Thinking about the friendship between Qian and the Jiang family, he kowtowed with great sincerity.
The ancestor was sitting on the couch in front of him, his eyes only wandering around Qingguan. Look at this girl, she understands etiquette and acts thoughtfully. Even this one, she kowtows with more sincerity than others.
After the ceremony, Mrs. Zhu took the gift from the maid and stuffed it into Wu Yanling's hand.
"This is the first time we meet. This is a meeting gift from our ancestors. Miss Ling keeps it."
When Wu Yanling saw a pair of finely crafted golden phoenixes, she hurriedly thanked her and said, "It's too precious."
The ancestor smiled and said: "Whatever is precious or not, the elders give it to you. You can't refuse it. You just keep it."
Qingguan's heart moved and she said with a wicked smile: "Ancestor, why don't I?"
"You're nonsense. You don't understand any rules. How can you ask your ancestors for etiquette? How can they teach you at home?" Hua Yang scolded him softly in order to show that his goddaughter had rules.
Qingguan was scolded, his face lowered and he said nothing, with a look of fear on his face.
The three daughters of the Jiang family saw this scene in their eyes, and each had a deep meaning in their hearts.
Zhu thought to herself that she dared to scold her in front of the Jiang family, but she didn't know how to abuse her behind her back. No wonder her sister pretended to be crazy. She was really pitiful.
Zhang's eyes darkened. There are some stepmothers in this world who are soft-hearted and it is better to settle the marriage early so that the child can have someone to rely on.
The ancestor looked at Qingguan with a half-smile, admiration in his eyes, and waved deliberately.
Qingguan stepped forward, held her hand, and placed three fingers firmly on her pulse.
Ancestor took advantage of the situation and held Qingguan's hand, and said whistlingly: "You kid, what's there to be jealous of in two steps? Ancestor has a lot of good things, go back and pick out for yourself."
Huayang mother and daughter were secretly shocked.
Everyone knew that their ancestors and Qingguan were very close, but they never imagined that the two of them talked and behaved like their own grandparents.
Hua Yang said with a sneer: "My ancestors really favored her. This is the blessing of my sixth girl!"
The ancestor is such a person. He laughed when he heard this and said: "When it comes to blessings, no one can compare to Sister Ling. Look at the majesty of her whole body. Grandma, you can't compare this time."
Zhu said quipped: "I am an old cucumber soaked in sour sweat. Let alone sister Ling, I can't compare to my ancestors."
"What are you comparing to me?" the ancestor asked curiously. "I'm comparing good things with you. The good things of our ancestors are always picked at will. Just pick them. The little possessions I have, even if I save them for another hundred years, they won't be able to match them. Ancestor, please have mercy on me. , the words 'just pick' were given to Sister Qingguan, then the words 'just pick' were rewarded
Me. "
The words made all the girls laugh.
Wu Yanling laughed along with her, but her eyes were wandering on Qingguan. Why didn't this girl smile? Could it be that she was stupid again
Qingguan was so focused on feeling her pulse that she didn't hear Zhu's words, nor did she think that Wu Yanling was paying attention to her. After feeling her pulse, she let go of her hand.
The ancestor smiled and said: "Come on, you old cucumber, hurry up and accompany your two sisters to the garden. If you accompany them well, I will reward you with these three words."
Mrs. Zhu knew that her ancestor and the eldest wife would take advantage of the opportunity to talk things out today, so she happily pulled the two girls of the Gu family and said, "Ancestor, keep your word, don't turn away..."
"What if you turn around?" Seeing her silence, Mrs. Zhang asked.
Mrs. Zhu deliberately looked sad, stared at Qingguan with hatred, and said, "Don't turn away. If a new person comes in, you will never remember me, an old cucumber."
"Madam, help me tear her mouth apart!" The ancestor pointed at Mrs. Zhu and laughed angrily.
Zhang smiled and said nothing. When a newlywed comes in, doesn't his son marry Qingwan? Amitabha, she is looking forward to this day.
The words spoken by the noble lady of the aristocratic family seemed casual, but she secretly took many detours. Hua Yang speculated on the deep meaning of these words, couldn't help but feel happy, and touched his daughter with his elbow.
Wu Yanling also heard the profound meaning of these words and lowered her head shyly.
Although Qingguan is a smart person, when diagnosing the pulse, her heart is only focused on the pulse. She doesn't understand the twists and turns here at all. She wonders in her heart why these three women in the Jiang family are laughing so hard today.
"Ancestor, is Miss Six here?"
A tall young man with handsome features opened the curtain and came in. Qingguan didn't need to look to know that the person coming was Jiang Hongwen. He thought to himself that this guy was a dog, and he came just by smelling her scent.
When Wu Yanling heard this voice, she trembled all over and subconsciously raised her eyes to look over. He wore a crow-blue plain-faced jacket with straight stitching, and his face could not be clearly seen due to the backlight.
Wu Yanling's heartbeat was pounding, and she quickly lowered her eyes, suspicious in her heart, what did Jiang Qiye want to do with the madman
Seeing that her son had not yet entered the house, Mrs. Zhang called Qingguan's name. Her heart was filled with joy, but her face was serious and she said: "Crazy and crazy Dian Dian, there are no rules at all. Why don't you go and give it to the ancestors and the princess?" Greetings."
Jiang Hongwen never thought that there were outsiders in his ancestor's room. He was stunned and went forward to greet them one by one.
Huayang took the opportunity to look at it carefully and was surprised.
Wei Dao's daughter was moved. She found out that Mr. Jiang Qi was really good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, and a handsome face that was cold but extremely handsome. She didn't notice it when he was in Jiangnan.
"Lao Qi, this is your sister Ling." Mrs. Zhu enthusiastically helped introduce her.
"I met him when I was in Jiangnan."
Jiang Hongwen was originally very good-looking, but because he usually had a stiff face, which made people think he was cold, he was difficult to get close to.
Today, he was in the ancestor's room, and because Gu Qingwan was there, as soon as he finished speaking, he smiled tenderly at Wu Yanling and nodded in salute.
It was like a flower blooming in an empty valley; Wu Yanling was ashamed, surprised and happy, and was deeply blessed. The call she made to Miss Six when they first met has been forgotten in her mind.
When Huayang saw it, he was very happy. Although this living ancestor behaves badly, he seems to be doing well. After all, he is a person trained by the Jiang family.
The ancestor smiled deliberately and said: "What do you want from Qingguan?"
Naturally, Jiang Hongwen couldn't tell his true intention. He exchanged glances with Gu Qingwan and casually found a reason: "The flowers in the garden are blooming just in time. I'm here to invite Miss Six to enjoy the flowers."
Mrs. Zhang felt happy after hearing this, and quickly winked at Mr. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu understood and said, "I happen to be taking my two sisters to the garden. They are not outsiders. Let's go together."
Hua Yang smiled happily and said with a meaningful smile: "Sister Ling, you are taking good care of your sister."
Qingguan realizes it later. I just feel that there is an undercurrent surging in this room today
A group of four people went to the garden.
The flower viewing at the British Crown Prince's house left a shadow in Qingguan's heart, so she spoke very little.
Jiang Hongwen was a man of few words, and since he had something on his mind and was planning how to get rid of those two people, he didn't say much.
So, only Zhu and Wu Yanling were left to ask and answer questions.
Although Wu Yanling was talking to Mr. Zhu, her eyes never left Jiang Hongwen. When she saw that he was walking slowly, she slowed down her pace; if he was walking fast, she walked a few steps quickly and followed him to the left and right.
Jiang Hongwen followed Qingwan's footsteps, and unknowingly, a circle was formed with Gu Qingwan as the center. Zhu is a person who has been here before, so how could he not see the subtleties in this. She took advantage of others' unpreparedness and rubbed Lao Qi's with her arm.
