Our ladies have established rules for how they walk, talk, drink tea, and treat others. Wu Yanling is the grandson of the royal family. She has been taught every word and deed by the nuns in the palace since she was a child, so her etiquette and rules are extremely upright.
The Gu family is just a family of middle-level officials. Although the girl's family's upbringing has been influenced by her since she was a child, it is somewhat different. It is acceptable in the small place of Suzhou Prefecture, but when compared to those top royal families in the capital, it is far behind. Far.
What's more, this Gu Qingguan has been a lunatic since he was a child, and he can't speak clearly. Where did he learn such a smooth way of saluting
Wu Yanling glanced at Qing Guan calmly and recalled carefully that this lunatic had already behaved like this when he was in Prince Qi's Mansion. His words and deeds were more generous and decent than those of the two concubines.
Wu Yanling was suspicious. Gu Qingwan seemed to have suddenly changed overnight. She didn't even notice. She was really too careless. How did Wu Yanling know that in her previous life, the Qian family was not ranked at the top among the nobles in the capital, but it was also the family of the world's doctors. Therefore, my grandmother and mother were very strict with Qingguan's tutoring, and specially invited the nuns from the palace to tutor her alone. However, she is naughty by nature and has only learned to deal with it superficially.
Just adults.
Even so, these learned skills are more than enough to cope with daily rules.
Qingguan didn't know that her unintentional words and deeds made Wu Yanling look at her with admiration.
She felt slightly grateful when she saw the three ladies deliberately showing intimacy with her. I saw the second sister sitting aside and not saying anything. Although she wanted to show her face in front of the madam, she had to stop thinking because of the relationship between the princess and her daughter.
Princess Huayang brought Wu Yanling into the Jiang Mansion and praised her daughter both inside and outside her words. It seemed that her intention was obvious. If she was not mistaken, it was the Jiang family's idea that Jun took the initiative.
Qingguan calmly took in everything, and after a few words of greeting, he stood up and left.
Huayang never thought that Qingguan was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't have time to say what he had planned. He felt resentful in his heart, so he had to cover it up by brushing his hair at the temples, still wearing a decent smile on his face.
The daughters of the Jiang family sent the man out the second door and then turned back.
The maids and servants gathered around the princess, mother and daughter, turned around the long corridor, bypassed the tall locust tree, and entered the Shou'an Hall.
Qingguan lowered his head and followed behind, looking at him from the corner of his eye. She hadn't entered this house for seven days, and it seemed like there was something different in this house that she couldn't tell.
In the hall, Mrs. Wei, eldest grandma Zhou, eldest mistress Guan and two concubines have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the people coming, Guan stood up and said with a smile: "Finally, I've got my sisters back."
Qingguan and Qingzhi sisters came forward to salute Wei and Zhou. Wu Yanling only nodded slightly and sat down under the princess.
This nod was considered a salute. Mrs. Zhou glanced at her mother-in-law, and when she saw that she was turning a blind eye, there was a coldness in the corner of her mouth.
Naturally, Mrs. Wei would not be stupid enough to argue with Wu Yanling, and her eyes only fell on sisters Qingzhi.
The two sisters had a brand new look from head to toe, and the jewelry they wore on their heads was more exquisite than before. The colors and textures on the clothes are also different from before. You can tell from the first glance that they are made of fine fabrics and embroidery work.
A smile appeared on Mrs. Wei's face, and she said happily: "Six girls didn't make any jokes this time, did they?"
Although these words were directed at Qingguan, his eyes fell on Qingzhi. Qingguan thought for a while and called out in a low voice: "Second sister."
Gu Qingzhi smiled and said: "Grandma, Sixth Sister is very obedient. She only stays in her courtyard when she has nothing to do. The Jiang family, from the ancestors to the young ladies and daughters-in-law, all like Sixth Sister."
Wei smiled lightly and said, "Amitabha, it's good that you didn't cause any trouble."
Qingguan's eyes moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Grandma, not only did my granddaughter not cause any trouble, she also received many rewards, and so did the second sister. Second sister, show your share to grandma."
Qingzhi glared at Qingguan angrily and said angrily: "You are the only one who can offer treasures."
Madam Wei wanted to know the Jiang family's attitude towards Qingzhi, so she hurriedly said: "Bring it to me quickly."
The maid in red came forward with the box in her hands and handed it to Mrs. Wei, "Madam, they are all here."
When Mrs. Wei opened it, she smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.
It seems that the Jiang family is extremely satisfied with the second girl. Look at these gifts, they are all valuable things.
Hua Yang's eyes darkened, she picked up the white porcelain embossed tea cup on the table and took a sip, and said with a smile: "What good thing did Liu Yatou get?"
Chunni also took the box over, opened it and said with a smile: "The ancestors of the Jiang family said that in memory of their old friend, my young lady's is slightly thicker than the second lady's."
As soon as the box was opened, the girls turned their eyes towards it, and Huayang's heart skipped a beat with just one glance. Sure enough, it was only slightly thicker, with an extra pair of jade hairpins, but the ones next to it were exactly the same.
Wei secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although Er Yatou was accompanying them, the Jiang family treated her and Sixth Yatou equally. It seemed that Er Yatou had caught the attention of the Jiang family and this trip was not in vain.
The two concubine ladies in the second room looked enviously. This time, they actually got so many treasures. The Jiang family is really rich.
Wei smiled and said, "Okay, let's all disperse."
Qingguan came out of Shou'an Hall and walked straight to his yard.
Chunni whispered in her ear: "Why did the young lady show the Jiang family's gift to others? When I looked at the faces of the princess and the two concubines, they didn't look very good. I was jealous in vain."
This maid also knows how to look at people's faces. Qingguan smiled and said: "Silly Chunni, even if it arouses jealousy from the Jiang family, no one dares to say anything about it. I am supporting the second sister and myself."
"Since you are supporting me, why do you need to hide those good things? It is obvious that the things you get are better than the second lady's."
Qingguan smiled and said nothing.
Chunni thought about it all the way, and when she was approaching the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly realized: "The lady is not supporting herself, but she is clearly giving face to the second lady."
Qingguan flicked her forehead with his finger, "I finally realized it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yueniang came out to greet her and whispered: "But the lady is back."
Seeing that her face was not pretty, Qingguan asked warmly: "What happened?"
"Miss, an iceman has come to propose marriage to the second young lady."
Qingguan looked tense and said, "Which company are you talking about?"
Yueniang looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Hui, I'm talking about Gao Xiaofeng, the eldest son of Gao Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry."
Qing Wan's heart sank, but she smiled calmly, "Second sister is really lucky to have caught the attention of the Shangshu Mansion."
Yueniang glanced at Qingguan and said, "Miss, let's talk in the room."
The three of them hurried inside. Caiyun and Mingyue had already prepared water. Qingguan took off the hairpin, washed his face and washed his hands, then leaned on the big kang by the window.
After Chunni served the tea, she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and said: "Caiyun, Mingyue, you go and guard outside. Yueniang, please tell me quickly, how come this Gao family proposes marriage to the second young lady. The Gao family's His family status is really not worthy of our family. "
Of course, a top aristocratic family is not compatible with a middle-level official family. What's more, one is the eldest son and the other is a concubine. They are not from the right family. Only a devil would believe that there is nothing fishy here.
The Moon Goddess said secretly: "Do you know that this high-ranking man has already married three wives, but he has not lived long. Now he is married to the fourth wife."
Having been a groom three times, the Gao family has a good life. Qingguan rubbed her eyebrows, suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly remembered something.
In the previous life, my grandfather was the head of the Taiyuan Hospital. Many royal family members and nobles asked my grandfather for medical treatment, and the Gao family was no exception. Gao Xiaofeng's first two wives were treated by his grandfather.
At that time, she had no interest in medicine at all, and she only cared about playing with her brother. It happened that when her grandfather and mother talked about the illness of the two eldest ladies in Gaofu that day, they did not shy away from the two siblings, and she could hear clearly in the room.
Gao Xiaofeng's two wives are very beautiful, and their symptoms are exactly the same. They are both caused by worry about damaging the spleen, excessive liver wood, and excessive thinking. This kind of disease only needs to be taken care of carefully and the thoughts of thinking are gone, and then you can live a long life.
However, what surprised my grandfather was that after taking his medicine, the first royal wife not only did not recover, but became seriously ill and died six months later.
This pulse pattern appeared again in the second royal family. My grandfather was cautious and explained the pulse pattern in detail to his mother.
After hearing this, my mother thought about it for a long time, and persuaded my grandfather to ask someone from the high government to come again in the future, so she made an excuse to push him away.
Qingguan didn't know what was going on, so he asked indirectly: "Why do you want to push it away?"
The mother's face was sullen at that time, and she ordered the maid to send her and her brother back to the room. She was most afraid of her mother's stern face, so she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she just put the matter behind her.
But after that, when the Gao family came to invite her again, my grandfather did as his mother said and pushed him away with some excuse. It wasn't until half a year later that there was another funeral in Gaofu, and Qingguan didn't know that the second wife and the principal wife were gone.
It is not uncommon in Beijing for the two main wives to die. Qingguan in the previous life was busy with her own affairs and did not take this news into her heart at all.
Thinking of this, Qingguan hurriedly asked: "How did the third wife of the third family die?"
Yueniang twisted the handkerchief and said after taking a breath: "Miss, I heard from the maid in the princess's courtyard that there are two rumors outside."
"Let's talk about it." Qingguan said calmly.
Yueniang's face was so red that she could bleed. She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, then told the lady about the rumors outside.
After Qingguan heard this, he resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
There are only cows that die from exhaustion in this world, and there are no fields with broken pears. Even if Gao Xiaofeng was wolfed seven times in one night, he should be the first to die from exhaustion. What's more, which man doesn't have a concubine in his room who insists on torturing his wife to death.
Everyone in the world thinks the same thing, but they don’t think about it.
Furthermore, although dogs are scary, they are also the most understanding of human nature. Having been with Gao Xiaofeng for many years, he must be familiar with the main wife, so how could he scare him to death
Qingguan is peeling off the cocoon, and the twists and turns here are probably not that simple. There must be something fishy about the death of the three principal wives. "Miss, we have only been in Beijing for half a month. The second sister is raised in a boudoir with no way out or the second door. How can she get the attention of the high government?" After Yueniang finished speaking, she added another sentence.
