The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 43 Gentleness
Mrs. Wei smiled, took a sip of the tea served by the maid, and changed the topic: "This year's charity event, it's the turn of Qi Mansion. Several of us have discussed it together, and it will be presided over by the young lady in your mansion. The other three Each government sent one person over to help. I came here today for this matter, and I will let you know."

The old lady's face froze, and she smiled embarrassingly: "Isn't the second daughter-in-law presiding? Fuzhongzhong is in her hands. Besides, the granddaughter-in-law has just passed the door, and there are many things that I don't understand. At that time, such a big money will be handed over. If something goes wrong, what should I do?" ?” The old lady is still selfish, even if she is disappointed with the second lady, who calls her the second daughter-in-law?

The fundraiser is different from others, if it is successfully held, it will win the prestige for the family.Even the second wife will become Yanbei's big wife and can attend many banquets of famous nobles.

Gong Qinglan can understand what the old lady is thinking, no matter how rich the Qi family is, it is still a merchant after all.The real aristocratic families with status look down on merchants whose status is lower than them but live more luxuriously than them.The banquets they hold, except for a few prestigious women, are all descendants of official families.

"Master Qi is the head of the house, and the young lady is the mistress. It would be best for her to preside over it. If the second lady is called to preside over it, wouldn't the others say that the Qi family looks down on people? Seriously, the mistress does not entertain people, and uses people from the second room." Wei Wei Madam drank tea with her eyes downcast, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes.If it wasn't for someone's entrustment, she wouldn't want to deal with Mrs. Qi, who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.How can someone with shallow eyelids like the Second Madam preside?It's nothing more than the darling's growing up sideways, leaning towards the second room, paving the way for the second room. "What's more, there will be a lot of people with heads and faces at that time. Of course, people with status will be able to hold them down."

The old lady curled her lips in disdain. Does Gong Qinglan's dilapidated family have status?
"Eldest Young Master Qi is backed by Prince Yan's Mansion, and at the banquet, Princess Yan is helping the Young Madam, how can something go wrong?" Madam Wei seemed not to see the contempt in the old Madam's eyes, she twitched her lips, and said while holding Gong Qinglan's hand : "Jixia Mountain Villa is a good place. I went there once with your mother. It is a good place to escape the summer heat."

With a flash of eyes, Gong Qinglan understood Mrs. Wei's meaning.She wanted to choose the location herself at Jixia Villa.

"If there is a chance, Lan'er will invite Madam to come again."

This is a promise.

Madam Wei nodded in satisfaction, she is a transparent person. "Tomorrow, I will ask my eldest daughter-in-law to post a post for you, and invite you to come over to the house for a talk." The matter was decided!

Gong Qinglan thanked Mrs. Wei and sent her out of the house in person.

When Mrs. Wei left, she called Princess Pingyang and Li Liqing away together.

Mrs. Wei is Li Yongyuan's cousin. When she first came to Yanbei, the two families still had contacts.But Princess Pingyang has such a strong temper, she wants to overwhelm others everywhere, and has shallow eyelids, seeing something good, she asks for it.He couldn't say a single good word out of his mouth, so he offended Wei Guohou thoroughly, so he broke off contact.But even so, she was afraid of the kind Mrs. Wei.As soon as she spoke, Princess Pingyang didn't dare to stay no matter how unwilling she was.

Gong Qinglan was amused, Princess Pingyang was not afraid of Mrs. Wei, but her eldest daughter was Mrs. Wei's third daughter-in-law.Afraid of offending Mrs. Wei, the eldest daughter did not have a good life in Wei Guohou's mansion.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the old lady leaning on a cane, with one hand on Lu Shui's arm, standing a few meters away.The cold gaze was mixed with contempt and disgust: "Go to Wei Guohou's mansion tomorrow, and take your second aunt with you. Don't lose your manners and embarrass yourself in Wei Guohou's mansion."

Gong Qinglan didn't take the old lady's nasty words to heart.

After dinner, Gong Qinglan never saw Qi Jingfeng.Hongyu and Hongyuan winked and pushed forward, but seeing Gong Qinglan's tired expression, they hesitated to speak.

At the end of the You hour, Chang Fu walked over anxiously.Seeing the ceremony, he said: "Eldest young mistress, go and persuade the young master. He is useless for dinner, wearing thin clothes, and has been sitting in the evening maple forest drinking. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to bear it physically." Chang Fu almost leaked out that Qi Jingfeng was ill, so he quickly stopped and changed the subject.

As sharp as Gong Qinglan, but he didn't miss the word, his face changed slightly, and he scolded: "Why did you come to report at this time?" His heart was about to faint, how could he abuse his body like this!
"Please punish the young mistress, the slave has neglected his duty." Chang Fu thumped and knelt on the ground, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around.The young master didn't allow him to speak out, he didn't know that the young master was drinking, or he didn't know until dinner time, when he realized something was wrong and went to check.But he couldn't persuade the young master, so he hurried to ask the young mistress for help this time.

With a cold face, Gong Qinglan hurried towards Wan Fenglin.

Seeing this, Hongyu and Hongyuan hurriedly followed, but they were held back by Changfu.The two glared at Chang Fu displeasedly: "Why don't you quickly follow and make wooden stakes?"

"If the two elder sisters want the young master and the young mistress to reconcile, then don't follow them." Chang Fu scratched his head embarrassingly.

Hongyu and Hongyuan blushed, and took a mouthful of Changfu: "Bah! Who is your sister? Don't be ashamed!" But they stopped thinking and didn't follow.

In the evening maple forest, the clouds are steaming and the rosy clouds are shining, and the fallen leaves are colorful, like red clouds fluttering.

Gong Qinglan stepped on the fiery red maple leaves, the dazzling red, gorgeous but not bewitching, can ignite the deep-seated enthusiasm in people's hearts.

Looking at the crescent-white figure in the distance, the clothes are fluttering and fluttering with the wind.The red and white reflect each other, and the virtual and the real coexist, forming a landscape.

As if sensing that someone was coming, Qi Jingfeng turned sideways and turned his head.His dark eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he looked at Gong Qinglan in confusion.With a slight blink, the fog seemed to clear away.The dots of light converged into a burning gaze, staring at her tenderly and tiredly.

"You're here." Qi Jingfeng's hoarse voice was as mellow and charming as sweet wine, and a faint smile appeared on his clear and jade-like face, which made Gong Qinglan slightly absent-minded.

Gong Qinglan took the Ru kiln celadon jug in his hand, and looked at the jug in his hand, which was green in color and glazed like a pile of fat in the moonlight.I wanted to hold it and smash it on the ground, but its color and fineness were of top grade, which was a pity, so I put it on the stone table: "You are drunk."

Qi Jingfeng propped his head on one hand, watched her weigh and ponder where the flagon should go, and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Yeah. I'm drunk!"

Gong Qinglan pursed her lips, looked carefully for a few times, and stared: "You pretend to be drunk!" Her tone was firm.

Qi Jingfeng's eyes fell on her red lips, like the eyebrows of a distant mountain, they were slightly gathered, and suddenly stretched: "The lady said so."

"..."

"Would you like a drink? This is the peach blossom wine buried a few years ago. It's refreshing and refreshing." Qi Jingfeng poured out a glass of wine while dragging a small and delicate white jade cup with lotus petals in his palm as if doing a magic trick.
