Chapter 48 Burning the Duke's Mansion (2)

"What are you two muttering here? It's annoying like two sparrows." Through a tree of white osmanthus, Yun Jinan's master and servant came down from the corridor.

"Fourth Sister, are you also going to greet your mother at this time?" Yun Jiu'an greeted her somewhat fawningly, "Today is Eldest Sister's birthday, and I am thinking about giving Eldest Sister a birthday present."

Yun Jin'an snorted, and quickly glanced at the vermilion wooden box in Qiu Yun's hand, "I forgot about Eldest Sister's birthday if you didn't remind me, and I just bought a jade screen from Duobaozhai a few days ago. Zhi Hua, Dongshu, you two go to my room now and carry the jade screen to the eldest sister."

Zhi Hua and Dong Shu were about to go, but she called them back again, "Oh, the jade screen is not light, I'm afraid you two can't lift it, Qiu Yun, why don't you come along and help."

Qiu Yun looked at the box in her hand with some embarrassment, and then at Yun Jiu'an, wondering if she should go or not.

Yun Jiu'an said unhappily: "It's rare for the fourth sister to speak. Since she's a messenger, how can she not? Anyway, the things inside are also a birthday gift for the eldest sister, so you and Zhi Hua Dongshu can give the gift together. "

How could Qiu Yun dare to push back, so she responded quickly.

After the three of them left, Yun Jiuan carefully accompanied Yun Jinan to Nuanhua Garden.

Yun Jinan pulled his face all the way, it seemed that he was in a bad mood.

When he was approaching the gate of the courtyard, he saw Mama Hu personally coming to the door to welcome Yun Lan'an in, who was wearing an ivory embroidered orange orchid skirt, and Yun Jin'an's almond eyes shone sharply.

"The eldest sister is the eldest sister, and she is indeed a model for the girls of our Yun family. Look at this figure, this temperament, and this clothing, which is comparable to that of the noble daughters of the aristocratic family. If you go out, you will really be the face of our Yun family. "Yun Jiu'an was very envious when he saw Yun Lan'an's elegant and delicate appearance.

Yun Jin'an's face darkened even more, she pushed Yun Jiu'an angrily, and cursed: "Sycophant!"

Yun Jiu'an didn't stand firm, and took two steps back, but his face was full of confusion, "Fourth sister... did I say the wrong thing again..."

Yun Jinan let out a "hum", ignored her at all, and went to the Nuan Pavilion by herself.

Yun Jiu'an followed her carelessly, not daring to show his temper.

The Nuan Pavilion is very lively today, not only the second- and third-bedroom juniors are there, even the Yuan family and Zhang family are present, it is very noisy.

A lot of people were chatting and laughing. After Yun Lanan entered, all the younger brothers and sisters greeted her and wished her birthday one after another. The soft words made people more and more happy, and there was laughter in the warm pavilion for a while.

Mrs. Gao sat at the head, her eyes rested on Lan An, and she chatted with the second and third wives with a motherly smile.

Yun Yuan, who was dressed in a skirt embroidered with white plum blossoms and fallen flowers, stood quietly beside Gao Shi and served her.

"Look, Lan'an is Lan'an, no wonder my younger siblings like her. Not only is she beautiful, but she also behaves dignified and generous. She is friendly, and even proficient in poetry and calligraphy... But she is a role model for younger siblings..." The second wife, Yuanshi, couldn't help but praise.

"That's right, Xiao'an of our family is clinging to her elder sister... Time flies so fast, Lan An is 17 years old, and the threshold of our Yun family is almost leveled by matchmakers. There are many high-ranking people who come to propose marriage The big family, the honorable family, are all famous young talents, I don’t know which family the eldest sister-in-law is planning to betroth Lan An to? Such an outstanding person, you can’t be casual.” The third wife, Mrs. Zhang, also agreed.

Gao Shi pursed his lips.In Daqing, after the age of 17, she is almost an old girl.If it wasn't for the position of crown princess, who wouldn't want to marry such a smart and mature daughter to a good family sooner?

So... Liang Qilang, who depends on the position of the crown princess, must act quickly.

"The last time I went to Fahua Temple, the Dezhi host there had calculated the marriage for Lan An, saying that her Red Luan Xingdong will be next year. It is a good marriage. We don't need to worry, everything is arranged by God, She is destined to be graceful and wealthy for a lifetime, and she cannot escape."

"So that's the case, no wonder sister-in-law is not in a hurry." After Zhang finished speaking, she looked at the quiet Yu'an, and said with a smile, "Yu'an is not young anymore, what arrangements does sister-in-law have for her?"

Gao raised his eyelids, "Why, what good family do you have?"

Mrs. Zhang said indifferently: "Of course there are. My sister-in-law also knows that my natal cousin died of illness a few years ago. My cousin is in business in Pingyang, and his family is rich. His two children are well-behaved and obedient, and he intends to continue... He is very happy." Seeing Yu'an, he said that marrying a concubine to fill in the house is a bit low-faced, but it's okay..."

"Shut up!" Seeing Yu'an's face getting paler, Gao became angry, "What kind of thing is your cousin, who dares to touch Yu'an's mind, and doesn't take a piss to show what kind of virtue he is! "

With this roar, everyone in the room looked this way, and Mrs. Zhang, who was a matchmaker with good intentions, was also stunned.She didn't expect Gao to get angry.

"Although my family's Yu'an is a concubine, she was raised by my side since she was a child. She is no worse than those concubine daughters of the aristocratic clan. In the future, she will be the one to marry. If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude in front of the younger generation. Give you face!" Gao scolded Zhang without saving face.

Zhang's face was blue and red for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After hearing these words, Yun Jin'an, who was originally in a bad mood, stared at the whole room with tears of aggrieved tears in his eyes.

Since entering the door, no one has looked at her or cared about her.

Everyone surrounded Lan An, and praised Lan An.

It is Yu An who is protected by the mother, and it is Yu An who must marry.

Isn't she her own daughter? She was the one who was imprisoned a few days ago, and she was the one who was scolded and cried.

If her mind is not mind, her marriage is not marriage?
For a moment, she scratched the hard back of the chair with her fingers, but she couldn't feel the slightest pain...

When the people in the room didn't know how to break the stiff atmosphere, Qiuyuan ran in and said that the Rongguo Mansion had sent someone, and Mrs. Huo wanted to invite Yun Jiuan to come over.

Mrs. Gao secretly patted Yu An's hand silently, and Fang Chao Qiuyuan said: "Did Mrs. Huo say what to ask Jiu An to go over?"

Qiuyuan shook her head, "The manager didn't say anything."

The Yuan family smoothed things over and said: "It must be because of Jiu'an and Liang Qilang's marriage discussion. When something like that happened before, the faces of the three families were not good-looking. I think Mrs. Huo wanted to ask Jiu'an's opinion again..."

Gao looked at Yun Jiu'an who had been sitting in the corner like a transparent person, "Go ahead. The rumor that you stole 7000 taels of silver is not good for you. If you don't want to be unable to marry in the future, go and listen to Huo Jiu'an." According to the old lady, maybe your marriage with Liang Qilang will turn around."
