"Miss, do you still remember? Sister Caihe is the old lady's personal maid. Although she is a maid, she is actually the housekeeper of the inner courtyard. Even the lady will give her a little face. You will enter the Buddhist temple later. If you don’t understand something, ask her…”
Although Cai He said it was a good thing, Fu Ling was still nervous, and whispered instructions to Qin Wan while walking.
Qin Wan looked at Caihe who was leading the way, his eyes darkened slightly.
Caihe is tall and thin, with white skin and red lips, and a beautiful appearance. She wears a simple and plain yellow shirt with a graceful skirt. afraid of her.
But she looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, so young, why was Jiang entrusted with important tasks
The Qin family has a big business, what Qin Wan has seen in a few days is only the tip of the iceberg, even a maid in charge is not easy, one can imagine how unfathomable this old lady Jiang who is the head of the three-bedroom family will be.
Thinking of the Jiang family he saw that day, Qin Wan's heart hangs.
"Miss Jiu went to the Buddhist hall when she came to Jinzhou at the beginning of the year. I'm afraid I can't remember the way, and I will arrive soon."
Not long after, Cai He suddenly turned around and spoke. Her expression was friendly, her tone was soft, and her smile was like that of a girl next door. When facing her, Qin Wan had to unconsciously let go of his guard, but Qin Wan did not forget that just now, she was so gentle at the mouth of the bamboo forest. Drink, obviously a bit fierce.
Qin Wan was not careless, nodded, "Thank you."
"I don't dare to be a servant." After a slight pause, Cai He suddenly said, "Second Young Master has a somewhat unruly temper, and the old lady is also very annoyed by him. Miss Ninth, don't get too close to him in the future."
Qin Wan's heart warmed slightly when she heard the words, and Qin Li acted frivolously, so she would be on guard.
The road leading to the Buddhist hall is longer than Qin Wan thought. Starting from the purple bamboo forest, passing through the lotus pond all the way to the south, then to the bank of Banyue Lake, and then to the southeast, the road passes dozens of pavilions, all of which are exquisitely carved and painted Very.
Walking from a remote place to the front yard, it is inevitable to meet many servants. Seeing that it was Cai He who was leading Qin Wan, everyone was surprised. Qin Wan could tell that everyone probably did not expect that Mrs. Jiang would summon her.
"Here we are, Fu Ling is waiting outside, Miss Nine, please come with your servant."
Walking along a quiet path to the end, several towering ancient pine trees appeared in front of Qin Wan's eyes. Under the ancient pine trees, a small courtyard that was as solemn as an ancient temple and filled with incense stood quietly.
Poria should be, Qin Wan followed Caihe into the courtyard gate.
It looks like an ancient temple from the outside, but when you enter the door, you can see blue grasses, osmanthus and green lotuses with water, and the green vines spreading across the entire gable wall on one side are elegant and full of vitality, which dispels the serious and rigid atmosphere by two points.
This is a courtyard with two entrances, the front is used to receive guests, and the back is the Buddhist hall and Jiang's resting place.
Seeing the picking lotus came back, the little maid in front of the main room hurriedly raised the curtain, but before she got close, Qin Wan heard Qin Shuang's voice in the room—
"Why take her there? She will only embarrass our Qin family if she goes to such an occasion!"
"Shuang'er, don't talk nonsense, the invitations are here, how can you not go?"
"Grandmother, mother, can't you just make up a random reason? It's so good, why did the Anyang Marquis specially invite her? Could it be that the matter got out, and the Anyang Marquis wanted to see our jokes?"
"Nonsense, what kind of family is the Anyang Marquis Mansion, how could they have such thoughts?"
Qin Wan heard a rough idea, and frowned, invitation? Anyang Marquis Mansion
"Madam, Miss Nine is here."
Caihe smiled and said, and there was a sudden silence inside the door.
After a while, Qin Wan heard Jiang's dull and dull voice.
"Let her in."
Cai He stood at the door, "Miss Jiu, please come in."
Qin Wan took a deep breath, and stepped forward a few steps into the door. As soon as he entered the door, a refreshing high-grade agarwood fragrance came to his face. With a sweep of his eyes, Qin Wan could clearly see the people in the room.
There are four people in the room. Mrs. Jiang is wearing a deep purple jacket and skirt and sitting cross-legged on the upper couch. She is holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. Her eyes are still closed, as if she is in meditation. Mrs. Lin is wearing a crow blue gown, standing by Mrs. Jiang Beside him, sisters Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang were sitting on the open chairs. Seeing Qin Wan coming in, Qin Xiang had an ordinary expression. Qin Shuang's eyes were clearly a little apprehensive, but he still let out a cold snort.
"I met the old lady, ma'am."
Qin Wan bowed one by one, with lowered eyes, quietly waiting for Jiang to speak.
Jiang's slightly closed eyes opened, her cloudy eyes were still sharp, she looked at Qin Wan, and thought of what Lin asked from Doctor Huang.
Short pulse and short breath will indeed give people the illusion that they are dead, and there are many anecdotes about people who have died but come back to life. As the doctor Huang said, these are all short pulse and not real death.
Jiang turned her head, her eyes fell on the desk next to her, "Show it to her."
Qin Wan looked up, and then saw a book on the case table, Lin walked over to pick up the book after hearing the words, and then walked over, "Guan'er, look, this is the book of the Marquis of Anyang this morning. Sent post."
Qin Wan slightly raised his eyebrows, took the post and opened it.
Lin went on to say, "The prince of the Marquis of Anyang is scheduled to get married two days later, and they sent us the invitation to the Qin Mansion half a month ago, but today, they sent another copy, and it is specially For your sake."
After Lin finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang, and seeing that Jiang closed her eyes again, she asked Qin Wan herself.
"I called you here today, the first is to tell you that two days later, we will go to the Anyang Hou Mansion with us to attend the wedding banquet of Anyang Hou Shizi, and the second is to ask you if there is any intersection with the Anyang Hou Mansion?"
After closing the invitation, Qin Wan also frowned slightly. She had heard about the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
The Anyang Marquis Mansion started with military exploits, and the main residence was in the capital. In the past ten years, it has faded out of the circle of the capital and returned to Jinzhou, the family land. Even so, because the old Anyang Marquis married Princess Jiayi, the status of the Anyang Marquis Mansion is still not to be underestimated. watch for.
After all, in the capital for many years, Qin Wan knew a little about the top Houmen clan, but how could Miss Jiu have anything to do with the Anyang Houfu
Shaking his head, Qin Wan said directly, "Return to Madam, Qin Wan doesn't know anyone in the Anyang Marquis Mansion."
Lin was puzzled, and Qin Shuang snorted coldly, "I just said, how could she know people from the Anyang Marquis Mansion? The Anyang Marquis Mansion has always kept a low profile, even though we have very little contact with each other, let alone her... "
Mrs. Lin looked at Qin Wan carefully for a moment. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she turned to look at Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes completely, as if she didn't intend to speak again. Mrs. Lin sighed, "Then Well, no matter what, the post from the Anyang Marquis Mansion has to go, you go back and get ready to go to the wedding banquet together in two days."
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, Qin Wan knows."
"Well, let's go back."
Lin's tone was quite gentle, Qin Wan nodded, blessed Fushen politely, turned and walked out.
As soon as Qin Wan left, Mrs. Lin asked suspiciously, "Mother, this child doesn't seem to be telling lies..."
Jiang twirled the beads, and said slowly, "What's going on, I'll find out in two days, Anyang Marquis Mansion, it's impossible to send invitations for no reason, you go to the treasury, don't let her lose Qin Mansion's Courtesy."
This is to reward things, Lin quickly agreed.
Qin Shuang wanted to say more, but Lin gave her a warning look. Qin Shuang blinked aggrievedly, lowered his head with aggrieved expression, and took revenge for dragging her into the lake. She will avenge her no matter what!
"What! Anyang Marquis Mansion?!"
Fu Ling cried out in surprise, "Miss was invited to the Anyang Marquis Mansion for a wedding banquet?!"
Qin Wan nodded, and Fu Ling was already circling excitedly, "The Anyang Marquis Mansion is a first-class family in Jinzhou, does Miss know? The old lady of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, the elder who is over sixty years old Princess, you are currently living in Jinzhou!"
Qin Wan frowned, only to feel that an idea popped up in her mind, but before she had time to catch it, it flashed by. Qin Wan was a little suspicious of the reason for this invitation, but it was undeniable that she wanted to go to This wedding.
She was going back to the capital, and any opportunity related to it must not be missed.
