The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 19 Rivals in Love
Gong Qinglan knew that Mama Zhao had a very good relationship with Qi Jingfeng and was extremely loyal. They were trained from the Yanbei Palace, so she could trust her: "Mama Zhao, you came just in time, and I have to let you take care of things in this yard." Help." Saying that, Fushen gave a half salute.

"Ouch! This can't be done." Zhao's mother supported Gong Qinglan in horror, but there was an evaluation in her heart.Gentle and dignified, advance and retreat appropriately.Others have to get along with each other and observe carefully.

"Mother Zhao, you are an old man in the mansion and a person close to mother. My husband was raised by you, so I can afford this gift. We have been here not long ago, and you need to mention a lot of things in this mansion, big and small."

Mrs. Zhao was very grateful for these words, and said humbly: "This is the duty of the old slave. If the young mistress has any orders from now on, the old slave will definitely share your worries." Comforted in her heart, she felt that the young master married a good wife. My heart will not be so tired.

After settling down, Hongyuan came in to report, and Xuerou came to pay her respects affectionately.

Gong Qinglan's complexion darkened, and she returned home with her two beautiful, delicate and charming women arranged by Aunt Ji as dowry.

"Young Mistress..." Hongyu was so angry that the corners of her mouth trembled, it was really deceiving!At the beginning, Aunt Ji didn't think highly of the young mistress, so she sent a dowry to make room for a tuberculosis. It was a waste!
Now, seeing that the eldest son-in-law is doing well, that his health is not as rumored to be lingering in bed all day, and that he gets along well with the eldest and youngest mistress, he has other thoughts and wants to ask the second young lady to replace him.Sending two additional dowries, you don't need to think about what An is thinking!
Gong Qinglan's expression was indifferent, and she smiled quietly: "Isn't it a good thing to have more people?" It's just two girls, she still doesn't pay attention.

Hongyu opened her mouth, Hongyuan pulled her sleeves, gave her a wink, and said in a low voice: "There is a fox in the mansion who has thoughts about my uncle, let these two go and let them bite dogs."

Appreciation flashed across Gong Qinglan's eyes, as expected of a girl trained by a nanny who came out of the palace, she had a different heart.

Hongyu was enlightened, her eyes crooked with a smile: "Eldest young mistress, as long as you know!" Just in case you are confused, I believe Aunt Ji is a good one.

"Let them go down, there is no need to greet you." Gong Qinglan's face was slightly cold, and it wasn't her aunt's roommate, what did she say?

Last night, Gong Qinglan didn't sleep well until the middle of the night. After lunch, she lay down on the ebony gilt elephant bed to catch up on sleep.

When he woke up, Ugin fell.

Hongyu brought a copper basin, washed Gong Qinglan, and then served meals.

"Master hasn't returned home yet?" Gong Qinglan put down her wet handkerchief, looked at the dark sky, and frowned slightly.Zhuangzi's journey is rough and remote, if it rains heavily and the humidity and cold wind enter his body, his body may not be able to bear it.

"The young master should be returning home soon." Hongyu received the news from Changshun at the end of noon that the young master would return home at night.

Gong Qinglan nodded faintly, eating dinner absent-mindedly.

At this time, Hong Yuan lifted the curtain and came in with a smile, gloating: "Eldest young mistress, the second master returned home today, and for the sake of the concubine's admission to school, he had a big quarrel with the second lady."

Gong Qinglan knew about this. The second room had a good concubine who married and gave birth to a concubine.There are also two Tongfang, who gave birth to concubine daughters and raised their aunts.

"I heard that the second lady asked the second master to give 4 taels of silver, so she agreed to let the concubine go to school, and the second master immediately threw up his sleeves and went to Aunt Lin's room." What Hongyuan hates most is the second wife, and the eldest and youngest mistress does not associate with her. , Do something dirty in secret to make a trip.

If she asked her, she wished that the second master would fall out with her, and it would be best to spoil the concubine and make things difficult for the second wife.She didn't have time to worry about it, and went to the big room to find fault.

Gong Qinglan's eyes flashed, 4 taels...what is she going to do with such a large amount of money?
"Eldest young mistress, Aunt Lin is leading the third young master outside the courtyard." The servant girl Hongjuan timidly reported.Together with Hongxiu, she took care of the eldest and young master to grow up. She has a dull temper and is honest and responsible.

Hearing this, Hongyu turned around and went out, leading the two of them in.Hong Yuan neatly packed the tableware and went outside to watch.

Gong Qinglan looked at Aunt Lin, who was in her early twenties, slender, gentle and graceful.A willow green dress, elegant and beautiful.Looking at Gong Qinglan, who was seated above, she pulled the little boy who was about six or seven years old beside her: "Please greet my sister-in-law quickly."

The little boy's name is Qi Shao'an, the concubine of the second master Qi Song.With a restrained personality, she glanced at Gong Qinglan timidly, and knelt on the ground to salute.

Gong Qinglan hurriedly got someone to help her up. Aunt Lin was a good concubine, and she was very beautiful.But it is extremely difficult to make a living under Qi Xu's subordinates.His complexion was sallow, with a hint of sickness.Not to mention Qi Shaoan's small body is as thin as a bamboo pole, his eyes are sunken, and his lips are pale, which is extremely unhealthy.

An enemy's enemy is a friend. Gong Qinglan held Qi Shaoan's hand with an amiable smile and asked, "Can you study?"

Aunt Lin's face was reddish, and she said embarrassedly: "Young Mistress, this servant is being abrupt today, and I just want to ask for something. Please arrange a school for An'er so that he can study." Then she knelt on the ground with almond-shaped eyes There is water shining in it.

Gong Qinglan personally helped her up, and Aunt Lin lowered her head and wiped her tears gently: "Eldest young mistress, this servant knows that I have made things difficult for you. But An'er is a smart child, and this servant wants him to be literate." A bulging purse: "My maidservant's family gave me all the dowry back then, and it should be able to give An'er a few years of schooling."

Gong Qinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Aunt Lin inquisitively.She does not fight or grab in the mansion, and usually stays behind closed doors in the yard.If it wasn't for the disturbance today, no one would have remembered that the second room had a good concubine and a concubine.

"how many?"

Aunt Lin was taken aback, she came back to her senses, and whispered: "Three... 3 taels." Holding her purse tightly with her fingers, she choked up and said, "I have accumulated a lot in private over the years, in order to let him enter Don't be as useless as a slave for the subject test."

She would rather the child be hungry than use the money. Gong Qinglan can understand Aunt Lin's hard-working conscience.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Aunt Lin was secretly anxious.She came here without telling the second master, if nothing happens, the eldest young mistress will spread the news of today's incident... Thinking of this, I can't help but break out in cold sweat.But, now that she has already taken a step, she has no choice but to gamble!
Gong Qinglan had a panoramic view of her expression, held a bone china teacup, and suddenly said: "You are from the second room, the first room is not easy to interfere, and I can do nothing." Seeing Aunt Lin's pale face, she took a sip of tea and moistened her throat .Slowly said: "The old lady likes the golden nanmu in the temple." After finishing speaking, he rewarded Qi Shaoan with some objects, thank you.

Aunt Lin walked out of the courtyard nonchalantly, looked at the closed courtyard door, thought about it carefully, her eyes lit up, and hurriedly took the child back to the green water garden.

Qi Shaoan was full of disappointment, entered the room, and closed the door behind him.Watching my aunt rummaging through boxes and cabinets, silently tidying up all the way behind her.
