Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 157
The conversation in Rongshou Hall quickly reached Qing Huan's ears.

Mancao said sadly because of this: "This second wife is too much, she only thinks about the fourth girl and forget it. She even wants to plot against our girl, if it is not for the eldest wife..."

From Mancao's point of view, no matter what outsiders say about Rong Chen, those four girls are really not worthy.If this matter really passed the word from Qing Huan.In the future, I'm afraid that the princess mansion's affection for the girl will fade a lot, and there are only a few people Qing Huan can rely on.The second room has never helped the third room, so why should it involve myself for the second room's affairs.

"You say how is the eldest lady?" Qing Huan smiled slightly.

Mancao was stunned: "Isn't it?"

Youyuan listened for a while, and was also puzzled by Qing Huan's question.In her opinion, if it weren't for the eldest wife, Mrs. Yan and the second wife would really go to the girl directly. Even if the girl wanted to shirk because of her affection, she would have to spend a lot of effort.

Qing Huan hooked the corners of her lips: "You said that there is no servant in the Rongshou Hall when the door is closed. How could these words spread so quickly about the things inside, and they are so detailed, as if the person involved It's just inside."

"Girl means..." Mancao stared straight at her eyes.

Qing Huan nodded almost imperceptibly.

If this kind of thing hadn't been released on purpose by someone, and deliberately told to the maid around him, how could it have reached his ears so quickly.

Qing Huan asked: "Where did these news come from?"

Mancao frowned, still looking at Youyuan.

Youyuan pursed her lips nervously.

Qing Huan said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just tell me what you know. Could it be that girl, I'm still that man-eating tiger that scares you so much?"

Qing Huan deliberately said with a smile.

Youyuan stammered and said: "When I went to the outer courtyard to visit Youqiao, I heard a few people talking behind the rockery. Ben...I didn't eavesdrop...to listen, but listen to her...they Only when the girl's name was mentioned did it stay."

After hearing this, Mancao said suspiciously: "Girl, Youyuan just asked me to go to the outer courtyard to visit Youqiao temporarily. They can't just calculate this matter."

"Why not?" Qing Huan sneered, "Don't you all go out? Even if you don't go out today, don't you go out tomorrow? It's just a matter of time. Wouldn't the maids and servants in the village hear these things by chance?"

After all, it is to be passed on to one's own ears.

Ling Lu hurried in from the outside: "Girl, you are right."

Qing Huan chuckled: "Yes."

Pointing to the teacup on the table beside him: "Let's have a sip of tea to quench your thirst." Ling Lu seemed to be running back, her face was covered in sweat, but Hou Lao kept swallowing her saliva, and her lips were a little dry. .

Seeing this, Youyuan quickly went to pour water.

Mancao pulled a sheet of cotton wool and placed it in front of Qing Huan.

Qing Huan nodded slightly.

Only then did Linglu sit down, and took another big sip from her teacup.

A cup of tea quickly bottomed out.

Seeing this, Youyuan simply held the tea and stood by, waiting for several cups of tea to arrive.Ling Lu waved her hand and said, "Enough is enough, don't bother."

Ling Lu felt her throat feel better, cleared her throat and said: "These days the eldest mistress has been showing filial piety in front of the eldest wife. I heard that the eldest wife has given a lot of private houses to the eldest mistress."

Qing Huan nodded.

She had expected this situation a long time ago.

After all, the eldest wife relied on her son and daughter-in-law, and Yan Jun was a filial person. If Wang Qiang continued to disrespect the eldest wife, she would definitely be reprimanded by Yan Jun in time.Now the two are just taking a step back. After all, they are in the same room. Even if there are any conflicts, as long as they face outsiders, they will definitely unite.

Even Mrs. Yan would do the same.

She is the figure on the spire of the long house, while the daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law below are the ones who hold her high.If the old lady is the only one left in the long room, then she is nothing.

This is also because the eldest wife sometimes quarrels and makes trouble with the old lady in secret, and the old lady Yan will tolerate three points.It is nothing but the relationship between interests and interests.

In the Yan family, it is said that family affection is very rare.

The only thing that counts is probably the relationship between mother and son and mother and daughter.

……

The fourth girl was waiting in the room, and the second wife just shook her head when she came in.

The fourth girl's heart sank.

The second wife couldn't bear it and said: "Or... I will accept your father's order."

The fourth girl immediately turned red eyes: "It's just that my father doesn't love my daughter, and my mother really loves her daughter. But mother, what are you talking about now? But the marriage that father said is 01:30 Okay, I am a daughter who has been raised so much, and I am not a person who does not know what is good or bad. But, mother...don't you know who the family father mentioned is?"

At first, the fourth girl just said it intentionally to make the second wife feel distressed, but gradually she really choked up: "If the master's house is a concubine's room, I would be willing. It's not that there are no sisters in the mansion to be concubines, Although I am a concubine's daughter, I am only a concubine's concubine's daughter, so I don't need to be as picky as my second sister and seventh sister. But it also depends on what family my father chooses?"

The fourth girl felt more and more heartbroken as she thought about it.

The second wife couldn't help crying with her: "Your bastard father used to say that he had connected with the people above. I thought that my daughter's Qingyun Zhi could finally be realized in the future. But... your father really It's too stupid, why... why... my daughter."

The fourth girl was held in the arms of the second wife, her hands were tightly clenched, and her nails were almost broken.

I don't know how the second master got on the line, it really is the person who hooked up with the second prince.The fourth girl also knew about it before, when the second master hinted that her marriage might be settled.It's not that the fourth girl didn't think about the future, but she didn't expect that things would suddenly take a big turn.

The second prince has a favorite side concubine, that side concubine's natal family is not obvious, but she is good at serving, so she was named side concubine.But since then, one person has ascended to heaven alone, and the concubine's family has a younger brother who is a direct relative.

For this reason, the second prince was often ginsenged because of this problem.

It's just that this side concubine's pillow style is very good. The second prince often goes to her angrily, but he is always coaxed afterwards.When she first heard that the second prince had such a temperament, the fourth girl was still happy about it. She intuitively felt that she was young, and she would always be able to surpass that side concubine in the future.

It's just that for some reason, Xu Shi's side concubine also understood that the younger brother's matter must be resolved, and if the second prince couldn't coax him that day, he would harm his younger brother and even implicate himself.Even if the second prince can be hugged by her all the time, there is still Concubine Xian on top.The concubine thought about it for a while, and only felt that she wanted to arrange a marriage for her younger brother and find a wife to take care of him.

I don't know how this matter got to the second master.

The second master didn't think of sending the fourth girl there at first, but someone secretly played tricks on him.The second master was moved, if not for the fierce resistance of the second wife and fourth girl.

This has long been a fact.

It was precisely because of this that the second wife targeted Rong Chen.

He only wanted to marry his daughter to her, not to mention the presence of Princess Danyang. With Rong Chen's current official position, he dared not really do anything even if the side concubine had some opinions.

Rong Chen, who was the person involved, didn't know that someone was planning on his marriage again.

There are two more aunts in the house. Although the two of them are indeed restraining each other, it is also a pain for Rong Chen, which makes him feel a little regretful.When Xu Lan was alone, Rong Chen could still stay in the mansion peacefully.But after having Xiao Wu, the two began to compete for favor in front of Rong Chen.

And the first thing is to let Rong Chen into their room.

For this reason, she tried all kinds of tricks, and Xia's mother didn't know if she got the meaning of Princess Danyang, so she just watched the fun from the sidelines, and didn't stop it until the critical moment.

But even if it was just that, it made Rong Chen very irritable.

No, Rong Chen was unwilling to go back to the mansion after finally having a holiday.I don't even want to go to Princess Danyang's mansion, maybe why I will be made a joke of this matter.

After Cheng Jingxin went to Yan's mansion to pick up Yan Jun, he went to the box of the restaurant.

Rong Chen was holding a wine glass and drinking one sip at a time. When he saw the two people coming, he couldn't help asking: "Why did you bring Jun'er here?"

Originally, Rong Chen meant that he wanted to come out to drink and talk about troublesome things, but Cheng Jingxin called Yan Jun out so that he would have the nerve to say that in front of a child.

But Yan Jun misunderstood.

Yan Jun pursed her lips: "Brother Rong is exactly what those people said, he doesn't like Jun'er anymore when he has a woman." After speaking, she snorted and turned her head away.

Cheng Jingxin slapped him on the head: "Pretend, you still pretend."

Yan Jun couldn't help laughing to herself.

Rong Chen waved: "Come and sit here."

Yan Jun walked over to Rong Chen and sat down.

Rong Chen brought him tea: "You're still young, just drink tea."

Even though Yan Jun was a little dissatisfied, she also knew that Rong Chen was very rigid in some places. For example, Yan Jun must not be able to touch alcohol when he is not the age that Rong Chen thinks about.

Sometimes Yan Jun herself can't understand why he listens to Rong Chen so much, and even has such a good relationship with him.Sometimes when asked about Qing Huan, Qing Huan would tell the story of how he met Rong Chen a few years ago.

Only then did Yan Jun secretly think that it was because she liked Big Brother Rong so much at such a young age.

"By the way, I heard that you have two aunts in your house. I want to congratulate you. This is a blessing to enjoy the same people. Brother Rong, you have such a great blessing just after you came back. You are worthy of... "

Rong Chen interrupted him angrily: "If you like it, I don't mind talking to my siblings, and I'll find some beauties for you and send them to Cheng's residence."

"Don't..." Cheng Jingxin was taken aback and spit out the wine in his mouth.

"If you really do this, let alone Wanyin, even my grandfather will break my leg." Cheng's family has always refused to take concubines, unless it is a special case.

Li Wanyin has now given birth to a son.

Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng in the house are very fond of Mr. Cheng, and they also think that this daughter-in-law will work harder and have more children.

Cheng Jingxin didn't dare to make her unhappy.

Rong Chen sneered: "Come on, I don't know what virtue you have."

Yan Jun flattened her face and stared.

Rong Chen was surprised: "Jun'er, what's the matter?" After thinking for a while, he asked, "Could it be that your sister punished you again? Why don't you go and live in my house for a few days."

"Come on." Cheng Jingxin stopped him: "When there were no such people in your house, Jun'er just went. Now... forget it. Don't say you don't know who Xu Lan and my cousin are. What is the relationship, what is the relationship with our family."

Upon hearing this, Rong Chen couldn't help frowning.

Since Xu Lan came in, he didn't think too much about it, knowing that when he learned that this person was Cheng Jingxin's cousin, he immediately thought of Qing Huan.

Later, after knowing that Xu Lan was brought there because Qing Huan had a spot in the Qionghua Banquet, Rong Chen didn't know what to say.Should we blame Qing Huan or Cheng Jingxin?
He is not so indiscriminate, if you really want to blame, the source of this can't be Princess Danyang who has a job to organize the Qionghua Banquet.

Even if Rong Chen got angry because of this, he could only endure it.

"Why don't you go to Uncle's house." After Cheng Jingxin finished speaking, Rong Chen looked at Yan Jun.

Yan Jun shook her head and sighed like a grown-up: "Cousin, Brother Rong, do you know any young talents?"

Rong Chen and Cheng Jingxin looked at Yan Jun dumbfounded.

Rong Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he was looking forward to Yan Jun's next words.

Yan Jun sighed and said: "Those people in the house are really annoying. They talk about old girls and old girls all the time. My sister doesn't have a dick, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't marry. I will always support my sister in the future." From Yan Jun's heart Naturally, he didn't want Qing Huan to marry. He and Qing Huan's siblings had been growing up dependent on each other.

It can be said that although Qing Huan is an older sister, in Yan Jun's heart, she may have replaced her mother's identity.

Yan Jun naturally didn't want Qing Huan to leave her side.

But he is not really an ignorant child, and he has watched so many marriages.Even if Yan Jun didn't ask Qing Huan about what the girls in Yan's mansion did for their respective marriages, she couldn't help the servants in the mansion talking badly.At first Yan Jun just listened to it, but later she thought that she might have something to do with her sister, so she asked Leshan Leshui to inquire.

Slowly, Yan Jun also began to pay attention to this negative news.

Yesterday, Qing Huan heard what Rongshoutang said, and Yan Jun also knew it.

Thinking of this, Yan Jun glanced at Rong Chen: "If it weren't for the fact that there are so many women in Brother Rong's house, it would be nice to be my brother-in-law. But...Brother Rong, someone in our house is planning on you."

Rong Chen was startled by Yan Jun's first words, and soon he felt a little joy that he couldn't explain.But when he heard the following words, he immediately became annoyed.

Qing Huan and the four girls are the only ones who are not married in the Yan Mansion.

From Yan Jun's mouth, it is not difficult to hear that the person who said it was not Qing Huan.

Then there are only four girls left.

Rong Chen also heard some news about the second prince's side concubine.If the other party came to him seriously, Rong Chen would not be able to help Qing Huan and his sister.

But seeing that the other party wants to count himself in the past.

And... Rong Chen glanced at Yan Jun, but he remembered Qing Huan's appearance in his mind.

Thinking about it now, he probably liked her.

I don't know when this feeling started.

Perhaps that year on the back mountain, when the camellias were in full bloom, that glance was etched in my heart.

Rong Chen felt that he had discovered it a bit late, but it probably wasn't too late.It's just that after confirming his mind, he couldn't help but annoyed the fourth girl even more.

A family would never bring two girls into marriage with one person.

Mrs. Wu is so stupid, her background is too poor, she doesn't know these ways.

But the Yan family is different, Rong Chen doesn't believe that they don't know these things.

Even if I disagree, if this word is spread in the future, it will definitely become my resistance.

"Jun'er, didn't you say you want to buy something to bring back for your sister to play with?" Cheng Jingxin said suddenly.

Yan Jun slapped her head: "That's right, I still want to bring back some for Sister Mancao and the others."

Yan Jun shouted outside: "Leshan Leshui."

"Master." Two drake voices sounded from outside.

Yan Jun listened amusedly, but soon thought that she would have such a move, and immediately suppressed her smile.

"Brother Rong, cousin, I'm going out first, and I'll be back soon." Yan Jun rushed out after speaking.

Leshan Leshui also hurriedly followed.

When the three and a half children went out, neither of the two people in the room felt at ease.

The two looked at each other, and called their attendants to follow.

After Cheng Jingxin finished speaking, he smiled and said, "That kid has a lot of money recently."

Rong Chen raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Jingxin said: "His sister said that he is getting older, and he has a lot of money around him. Although he just took out a purse just now, there is at least this amount in it." Cheng Jingxin made a two-two when he spoke.

Rong Chen smiled slightly, but didn't ask whether it was 20 taels or 200 taels.

Not to mention whether Yan Jun has enough money, anyway, with his own people following him, he will never have no money to pay the bill.

"What do you want to say?" Rong Chen didn't believe that Cheng Jingxin didn't call Rong Chen away on purpose.

Cheng Jingxin smiled slightly, and looked at Rong Chen seriously: "I don't care what you think, but that's my cousin."

Rong Chen glanced at him: "Do you think I will bully her?"

Not really, in fact, Cheng Jingxin has noticed something over the years, but Rong Chen himself has never been enlightened, of course he would not foolishly say hello, do you like my cousin?

If that's the case, he should hang himself with a rope.

"I don't know about bullying, it's just...do you want Master Rong to agree? Will Mrs. Wu come forward to stop it? And Princess Danyang?"

Rong Chen frowned.

"You know my cousin is just an orphan..."
