Daughter of Hou's Mansion

When Qingluan helped the old lady out, Shangguanjue's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stood up immediately, saluting to the old lady Qin.

The old lady turned sideways quickly, avoiding this ceremony, and said: "My lord, this is going to break my old body."

Although the old lady is a first-rank imperial order, Shangguan Jue is the heir of King Qin with a noble status. If she has received Shangguan Jue's gift for life, maybe someone will accuse her of disrespect in front of the emperor. 13acv.

Shangguan smiled and said: "The old lady is an elder, and Young Master Wei is the savior of this son, this gift is worthy of me." Even though he said so, Shangguan is definitely not a person who has no winks, and he did not go forward to salute .

Wei Che invited Shangguan Jue to sit down, and then asked, "My lord, the last time was just a coincidence, and besides, my lord has already invited me to dinner, so don't worry about such a trivial matter." Let alone Wei Che, Even if ordinary people encounter such a situation, he will not watch other people die, not to mention that Prince Qin is kind to him.

Shangguanjue smiled slightly and said: "Young Lord Wei is a chivalrous man, but this son is also a person with clear grievances and grievances. If there is a kindness, you must repay it. From then on, Young Lord Wei is a good brother of this son. If there is any difficulty You can come to me, Shangguan Jue.”

Shangguan Jue patted his chest with an awe-inspiring look, Qingluan almost spit out a sip of tea, what is this?Are you dependent?What a good brother, what can he do as a dude.Qingluan couldn't help but sent a contemptuous look towards Shangguanjue, Changdi is also a dog, but his temper is really not flattering, she will not let her brother get too close to him, lest she be taken away broken.

Shangguan Jue turned his eyes and landed on Qingluan, "My son heard that Miss Wei was ill, and was very anxious, so he brought some things from the warehouse to nourish Miss Wei, a small fan. "

When Shangguanjue gave an order, several people carried the boxes into the flower hall one by one. There were 300-year-old wild ginseng, 500-year-old fleece-flower root, and crystal clear Tianshan snow lotus, all of which were extraordinary.Rao Qingluan has lived for two lifetimes, and he has never seen so many good things.This Prince Qin's Mansion is really not simple, so these good things are casually given away.Thinking of it this way, Qingluan became even more contemptuous of Shangguanjue in his heart. This dude is just a dude, and the century-old foundation of Prince Qin's mansion will be wiped out by such a prodigal method.

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Shangguan Jue carefully for a while. The royal blue brocade robe, the neckline and cuffs were all auspicious cloud patterns outlined by silver threads. It was full of nobility, and his appearance inherited The handsomeness of the Shangguan family, the slightly raised peach eyes, the black pupils like the most dazzling stars, the straight nose bridge, and the thin lips that are slightly upturned, if you just look at the appearance, you will never think that such a handsome young man is a favorite among the people of Shangjing. asshole.

"My lord, we absolutely cannot accept such an expensive gift. We have already understood your intentions. Besides, my little sister's health is fine. Please take these things back." Wei Che refused.

Hou Zun of Qingfu.Shangguan seemed to have expected to be rejected a long time ago, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Master Wei, you and I hit it off right away, just call me by my name from now on, my name is Moyang."

Qingluan looked at Shangguan Jue talking to himself, and secretly complained that whoever hit it off with him is really a piece of dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off.

"Master..." Wei Che frowned slightly. He didn't intend to have a close relationship with Shangguanjue, but was thinking about how to refuse so as not to hurt the face of this famous nobleman.But was interrupted by Shangguan Jue.

"Mo Yang..." A look of displeasure surfaced on Shangguan Jue's face, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Che, as if he would not give up unless he changed his title.

The old lady smoothed things over in a timely manner: "Che'er, since the eldest son said so, you two are friends of the same generation, even if you call them by names, it's not out of line."

Wei Che nodded and said, "Mo Yang, I'll say Ziyu."

Wei Che has a straightforward temper. Since he called Shangguan Jue by his name, it is not easy for him to call himself Lord Hou.

Shangguanjue was obviously very happy because of Wei Che's words, he laughed and said, "Okay, I think I, Shangguanjue, have never made such a capable friend before, so I am really happy in my heart, old lady, Ziyu, these things Please accept it, these things are good, even if Miss Wei doesn't need them, it's the same to replenish the old lady's body. Even if these things are valuable, they are not as good as this life."

After all, the old lady had a bit more courage, and seeing Shangguan Jue's sincerity, she said with a smile: "If that's the case, the old lady will accept it for Che'er."

Neither Wei Che nor Qingluan spoke. Since they chose to trust the old lady, they would not question her decision.

Shangguan Jue said: "Thank you, old lady, for your understanding. This son will not disturb your rest." After all, this is the inner courtyard, and it would be considered Meng Lang if he went straight here without being informed, but fortunately, the old lady did not blame him , and also saw that bad-tempered stinky girl.

There were many rumors about Wei Qingluan outside, and he even sent a small fan to inquire about it. He knew that hematemesis was true, so he dug out some medicinal materials from the warehouse and sent them over. Seeing that Wei Qingluan was healthy, She still has the strength to make him roll her eyes, so he knows that she is fine, but what is going on with her appearance like this, does anyone want to ruin the reputation of that stinky girl?

Shangguan's beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed but he heard the old lady say: "Che'er, you can entertain the prince."

Wei Che responded, stood up and said "Please", and the two of them left the Rongshou Hall together.

"Grandmother, what do you think the Prince Qin's son is up to? We don't know him well, and he ran upstairs by himself for what happened last time. Otherwise, my brother might not have made a move." Qingluan really didn't like Shangguanjue in his heart.

"Girl Luan, sit down." The old lady pointed to the seat beside her and signaled Qingluan to sit down.

"Do you really think your brother won't make a move?"

As soon as Qingluan froze, she pointed at the fact that Shangguan was definitely the direct grandson of Prince Qin, her brother would not stand idly by, his brother could be safe in the Northwest Military Camp, and even make meritorious service in such a short period of time, except for himself Of course, his hard work is inseparable from the protection of Prince Qin, otherwise a newcomer like him would have to be rubbed off by those veterans before he arrived in the Northwest Barracks.Those military camps don't care about your status, when you get there, you can speak with your fists.Therefore, Wei Che was able to find an opportunity to make meritorious service in such a short period of time, and their Wei family really owed a great favor to Prince Qin's residence.

"But that Shangguan Jue is really an asshole. If he hadn't teased the singer so much, he might not have been able to give the killer a chance to get close." Qingluan said stubbornly.

The old lady smiled slightly, and patted Qingluan's head lightly: "You girl, not everything in this world is black and white, if he is not such a bastard, I am afraid that Prince Qin, the military marshal, will be ashamed." It's going to be uneasy."

The old lady seemed to be sighing in the latter sentence. Qingluan was already very close to her, so she heard it clearly, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Grandmother, you mean that Shangguanjue's dandy is just pretending from."

"I don't know if it's just pretending, but you have to understand that Shangguan Jue is the heir to Prince Qin's mansion. No matter how bad he is, he will still be able to inherit the title in the future. So since he intends to befriend him, why did he dismiss him?" As for face, although you and Che'er are smart, you lack a bit of tact in dealing with things, you must know that the past is easy." Before she got married, the Qin family was also a well-known talented woman in Beijing, otherwise the Qin family at that time It's not his turn to become the successor of the old Marquis Weiyuan, and with more than ten years of life as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, her insight and mind are naturally extraordinary.

Qingluan listened to the old lady's teaching, with a guilty expression on her face, didn't she just want to accumulate contacts for the Weiyuan Hou Mansion?Wouldn't it be good to make friends with Prince Qin's mansion? In terms of seniority in the army, who can compare to Prince Qin.How could she let her brother miss the opportunity to make friends with Prince Qin's mansion just because she didn't want to see Shangguan Jue?Speaking of it, her vision is too narrow, and this shortcoming really needs to be corrected.

"Grandmother, Luan'er's parents left early, please teach me more in the future. If Luan'er has something wrong, you can bring it up." Qingluan rubbed her nose a little embarrassedly, but her face But very sincere.

The old lady stroked her hair lovingly.

On the other side, Wei Che and Shangguan Jue went to the outer courtyard together.The two people left the Rongshou Hall, and Wei Qingyu and her personal maid Bai Mian came to meet them.

Shangguan Jue couldn't help shivering when he saw her, she was really beautiful and cold.

It's already winter. Shangjing is located in the northern part of Daxia, and the temperature is already low. This time, most people walking outside are wearing jackets. Shangguanjue even wore a squirrel fur cloak. .Pianwei Qingyu didn't seem to know the cold, she was wearing the dress made of soft smoke that she had worn when she attended Princess Duanmin's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.

The thin clothes danced with the cold wind, making people feel cold just looking at them.

"Big brother, Prince Qin's son." Wei Qingyu stepped forward to salute, her watery eyes were so soft that they could almost drip water.

Her appearance is not vulgar at all, and after careful dressing up, she is even more gorgeous like a blooming peony, "Big brother, Yu'er is going to greet the old lady." Although she said so, the corner of her eye But he kept looking at Shangguan Jue.

A heart was beating non-stop. She still remembered the last time Shangguan praised her as a beauty. She must have been deeply impressed by her.

"Big sister, go in quickly. It's cold outside. Next time you go out, wear more clothes." Wei Che moved out of the way and let Wei Qingyu, master and servant, go first.

Wei Qingyu smiled sweetly, and blessed the two of them. She really wanted to have a few words with Shangguan Jue, but it was too difficult to do too much with Wei Che by her side, so she pretended to be reserved and turned to Rong Rong. Shoutang walked away, hoping that Shangguan would definitely stop her, even if he said a word or two.

A trace of contempt flashed in Shangguan Jue's eyes, this woman is really a fake, she is not afraid of getting cold even if she wears an autumn shirt in such a cold day, it's better to be that stinky girl, even if she hates him, it's just on the face, not at all cover up.

Thinking this way in his heart, he was stunned, what's wrong with him, that stinky girl clearly hates him written in her eyes, but he thinks she has a real temper, is it true that he is really so cheap?

"Mo Yang, let's go." Wei Che led the way, and the two quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Wei Qingyu waited for a long time but did not wait for Shangguan Jue to call out, she was very disappointed, the cold wind blew, and she sneezed hard.

"Girl, let's go back. It's not good if you get wind and cold." Bai Mian said worriedly. Her girl is beautiful in clothes, but this season is too inappropriate. Maid's.

Wei Qingyu originally came here to meet Shangguanjue by chance. Although the Rongshou Hall is not far away, she didn't bother to go in. Ever since the old lady regarded Qingluan as her own granddaughter, Wei Qingyu felt that she was not a good person, so she wholeheartedly clinged to her. room, even the original intention of flattering has completely faded away.

"Go back and order someone to inquire about what the son of the King of Qin is here for." Wei Qingyu left this sentence and hurried to her yard. It's really cold in this damn weather.

At noon, the sky began to snowflakes, Qingluan looked at the dark sky outside, there might be some snow falling.

"Girl, Prince Qin's son hasn't returned yet. Master Hou is entertaining him in the study outside. I heard that the Second Madam specially called the Second Young Master over to accompany him." Qiao'er walked into the yard holding an umbrella, Seeing Qingluan in the corridor, he told her everything he had heard.

Qingluan nodded. After hearing what the old lady said, although she still hated Shangguanjue in her heart, she no longer objected to her brother dating him, and only hoped that he was a person worthy of dating.

"Okay, don't worry about that side, since the second aunt knows, she must take care of it properly. It's the first snow this year, and it's cold today. It's the most refreshing to eat pot. Xia Zhi You go to the kitchen to make arrangements, today we will eat pot in the house." Qingluan ordered, and several maids in the yard cheered.

The steaming bone soup is used as the soup base, and there are thinly sliced ​​fresh mutton, beef, meatballs, Chinese cabbage, radish, etc. Although there are not many types, it is lively and fun for several people to eat together around the pot.

And Wei Qingyu really fell ill after being beautifully frozen for a while.

Lying weakly on the bed, he still didn't forget to inquire about Shangguan Jue's situation.

"Miss, I heard from Xiaocui that the son came to thank you because Lord Hou and the second girl saved him before, and also sent a lot of precious medicinal materials, which they said were for the second girl's health." Bai Mian Carefully speak back.

"What did you say?" Wei Qingyu's eyes widened for a moment, "The prince came to see that little Jianren? No, no, no, what's so good about that little Jianren."

She herself still had a fever, and such a violent movement made her head hurt even more. She secretly hated her body for not being able to live up to expectations. She is very confident that she will definitely be able to attract the favor of Prince Qin's son. As long as she marries into Prince Qin's mansion, then Wei Qingluan, even the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, will be overwhelmed by her.

"Girl, don't worry, the son is here to thank the Marquis, not to mention the rumors spreading outside, who else would marry a girl with a hard life to go home, it's not a life-threatening." Bai Mian carefully Rubbing Wei Qingyu's temples for Wei Qingyu, he comforted him lightly.

Wei Qingyu lay down heavily, but the hatred in her eyes was even worse.

*******************

It snowed all day and night, but it happened to be a sunny day on the third day.

Because the old lady had spoken, Mrs. Li made arrangements, and the fifteenth day was a good day to worship Buddha, except for Wei Qingyu who was still ill.

Li's family and Li Qin all followed, sending out five carriages, while Wei Che and Wei Ling escorted them on horseback, and a large convoy headed for Daxiang Temple.

Although the road was covered with snow, it still couldn't stop the pious heart of the people praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. The incense in Daxiang Temple was still at its peak, and it was even more lively than before because of Master Yunxiang's return from his travels.

Qingluan helped the old lady out of the car, and Li Shi and others followed behind.

Uneasiness flashed in Mrs. Li's heart. Since Wei Che came back, the relationship between the old lady, Wei Che and Wei Qingluan has become better and better, and this time the heavy snow came to Daxiang Temple because of Wei Qingluan. She was very disturbed.

Although the old lady didn't ask her for the right to be a housekeeper in the inner courtyard, she had a premonition in her heart that her days in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion were numbered, and even those former confidantes and stewards would not be able to do so after Wei Che came back. There is also a tendency to betray, but she is powerless to deal with these changes, which makes her anxious and frustrated.

"Mother, I heard that Master Yunxiang only gave orders to three people a year, and this year he has only been promoted to one quota. You said that if you can get him, it will be very expensive, who else in Beijing will invite us to visit. "Wei Qingyuan stepped forward and took Li's hand and said, "The old lady encouraged everyone to come to Daxiang Temple just to ask Master Yunxiang to give Wei Qingluan orders. Crying out of anger."

"Don't talk nonsense, it depends on chance to get Master Yunxiang's order." Li patted Wei Qingyuan lightly. Regarding this little daughter, she really didn't know what to say about her. She was even compared to Wei Qingluan in terms of speed. After Wei Che came back, he warned her to restrain herself, but within a few days she reverted to her old ways.

"It's just because it depends on the chance, and it's hard to guarantee that Master Yunxiang is looking for me, so the old lady and Wei Qingluan have nothing to say, right?" Wei Qingyuan glared at the person in front of her with hatred. Everything made her jealous, why everyone's surname is Wei, she is the daughter of Marquis Weiyuan who is as precious as jewels, but she is the girl of the second room, when she is out, everyone's eyes are on Wei Qingluan, and They are only relatives of the Marquis of Weiyuan, this kind of unequal treatment makes her feel very unbalanced.
