Chapter 59

Under the long corridor facing the gate of the old Shen's mansion, Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er were sitting on a bench and lightly beating their nearly useless legs, when they suddenly heard a horse cry from outside the mansion.

The two looked up.

A carriage slowly stopped outside the old Shen's house.

The coachman helped the woman and girl from the carriage to get off. The two were dressed in plain and simple clothes, but their description was extremely dignified.

Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er hurriedly stood up to greet them.

The woman smiled and said: "Hello, two girls, I am the third wife of the Jiang family, Mrs. Wu, and today I specially brought my daughter Jiang Lanyan to greet Mrs. Shen."

As soon as they heard that it was Mrs. Shen's mother's family, the Jiang family, Ye Lingwu and Shen Yue'er immediately saluted, and then led Jiang's mother and daughter to the main room.

The eldest of the Jiang family went into exile, the second room only had the widow Yue and the concubine Jiang Lanshu, but the third room had a complete set of children.

Regardless of the past glory of the Jiang family, and even the seemingly inextricable relationship with the North Ninghou Mansion, it is actually struggling in the past, and the family can only run a private school, teaching and educating people to support the family.

After all, they used to belong to the Zanying family, even if they were in decline, they would not have the shame to go into business, and there would be no way to become an official, not to mention that Mrs. Shen never helped the Jiang family. In addition to the eldest family, the second and third households of the Jiang family could keep their heads Not exiled, but personally vowed never to be an official again from now on.

As for why Mrs. Shen never helped, it turned out that Jiang's family favored boys over girls.

When she was young, Mrs. Shen had a bad life and never enjoyed the benefits of the Jiang family. She was sent to the farm to be raised when she was very young. I have read a few books at Master's, and my personality almost didn't grow crooked.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen, who was just a country boy at that time, met early. The two joined hands to fight for the late emperor, and only then did Ningbei Hou Mansion come into being. Decades passed like this, Mrs. Shen and the Jiang family The coming and going is as light as water, and it is often seen once in a few years.

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that the Jiang family made a bad statement, and because Mrs. Shen was almost implicated by the Jiang family, she really broke off her relationship.I didn't enjoy the favor when I was young, but I was implicated when I was old. You said how could Mrs. Shen treat the Jiang family.

Old Mrs. Shen is still willing to see the third-bedroom lady today, all adults have a lot, regardless of previous suspicions.

When a few people entered, the atmosphere during the banquet was unspeakably subtle, and the discord among the women gradually subsided.

When Mrs. Shen saw the Jiang family coming to greet her, she had a flat face. Even though she hadn't seen her for decades, she didn't look overjoyed as if they had reunited after a long absence.

Jiang Lanyan walked around the screen to the girl's seat, timidly glanced at the girl on the seat, took a deep breath, and said to Shen Pan'er who was surrounded by stars like a moon, "I've seen Miss Shen San. "

No one paid any attention, perhaps because the voice was too low, and Shen Pan'er over there was only focused on talking to others.

When Sun Xinran heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced critically at Jiang Lanyan's shirt, and said, "Sister Lanyan came to visit today, why is she dressed so shabby? If you don't know, you think it's my envoy?"

Jiang Lanyan lowered her head and said nothing, her cheeks flushed.

Just when she was feeling a little embarrassed, Ye Lingwu walked in: "Miss Lan Yan, what are you doing standing up, hurry up and take a seat."

Jiang Lanyan frowned, and gave a soft "hmm".

Sun Xinran was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Lingwu. She had been here for so long and hadn't noticed. It turned out that there was such a beautiful girl beside Mrs. Shen.

She thinks that she has never lost in terms of beauty, but the girl in front of her has willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and her eyes are as clear and watery as a clear spring in the mountains.

Thinking that there are only two girls in the Shen family, who is this noble girl in front of you?
Sun Xinran held a bowl of corn soup and said casually, "This girl also came back from the capital with Mrs. Shen. I don't know what your name is?"

Ye Lingwu nodded lightly and said, "Hello, Sister Sun, I am the girl raised by Mrs. Shen's side, and my name is Ye Lingwu."

Sun Xinran said bluntly: "It turned out to be a girl who was raised under Mrs. Shen's knee. I remember that sister Lan Yan's sister seemed to be raised under Mrs. Shen's knee too. Why didn't I see her back together this time?"

Ye Lingwu said: "Sister Lanshu sprained her foot and couldn't travel far, so the old lady didn't let her follow her."

"That's right." Sun Xinran frowned.It's up to who believes this, anyway, she doesn't believe it, but it's just that she can't bear the prosperity of the capital.

The maid brought new tea fruit, Sun Xinran glanced at it, put the tea fruit in front of Ye Lingwu down, and said: "From this look, I can tell that Chu Er, the maid from the kitchen of the Wang family, made the tea fruit. It's the most delicious, I didn't expect the Wang family to be so generous, and they sent a female envoy with excellent craftsmanship. Sister Lingwu, hurry up and taste it."

Ye Lingwu picked up the fruit, handed it to the shy Jiang Lanyan, and said, "Miss Lanyan, try a piece too."

Jiang Lanyan nodded, picked up a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth, her eyes lit up and said: "This tea fruit is really delicious."

When the words fell, Sun Xinran covered her mouth and snickered: "Sister Lan Yan thought that she hasn't eaten such a good tea fruit for a long time, and yes, this tea fruit uses thousand-layer golden silk bird's nest, according to Jiang's family Qingliu's style is naturally not to be admired, you should eat more, or you won't be able to eat it when you go back."

This time, it wasn't just Sun Xinran, the other girls beside him also laughed after hearing the words, very happy.

Jiang Lanyan lowered her head at a loss.

When Shen Pan'er heard the movement, she saw Panchaguo. She didn't understand the laughter of the crowd, and followed the gazes of the crowd to see Jiang Lanyan, and said, "I just heard you say that you are also a girl from the Jiang family. Jiang Lanshu looks alike."

"Back to Miss Shen San, I'm Jiang Lanyan, the daughter of the third room of the Jiang family." Jiang Lanyan spoke like a mosquito, causing another chuckle during the dinner.

Shen Pan'er has always been outspoken, and she is used to speaking without thinking. Seeing Jiang Lanyan's words being coy, she said displeasedly: "Your Jiang family usually treats you harshly? Why do you speak so quietly."

"Miss Shen San asked you something. Sister Lan Yan doesn't know how to answer. If you really don't have the strength, then eat more tea fruit. After all, you won't be able to eat it when you go back to Jiang's house." Sun Xinran touched the corner of her mouth with silk to steal laugh.

Jiang Lanyan was so ashamed that she wanted to cry.

However, Sun Xinran was reluctant, and was about to speak again, but Ye Lingwu said first: "I have something to say, I don't know if I can say it."

Shen Pan'er said: "Sister Lingwu speaks up when she has something to say, why is she so polite?"

"I grew up in Yuzhou, but I had never tasted such a good tea fruit before I entered Ningbeihou's Mansion, but I never felt that it was ridiculous not to be able to eat such a delicacy. Since everyone can sit together At the table, they are sisters," Ye Lingwu said to Sun Xinran with a smile on her head, "Sisters don't have to speak sharply to each other, what do you think, sister Sun?"

Sun Xinran's face turned blue, and she secretly scolded this person for being so eloquent, but she couldn't find a reason to refute, and said aggrievedly: "Miss Lingwu said yes, but I was only joking just now, why are you still talking?" It's all true."

The other girls also stopped smiling on their faces.
