Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 164

After exchanging Geng Tie, the Rong Mansion then arranged for someone to pick an auspicious day, ready to make a formal decision.

After Song Yulan got the news, she rushed to Yan's residence.

And Qing Huan was looking at the account books with Mancao and the others, and heard the report from the servants.

Mancao and Linglu quickly packed up the things on the table, and they walked into the house with their arms in their arms.

When Song Yulan came in, Qing Huan was holding a cup of fragrant tea.

"You really live a leisurely life." Song Yulan sat down next to Qing Huan.

Qing Huan was pushed aside.

"What a leisurely life, just a cup of tea, don't you have any in the Mansion of Yongyi Hou?"

Song Yulan curled her lips: "You are so boring."

Qing Huan smiled: "Why did you come here?" After a pause, he continued: "I don't believe you came here because of my marriage." Song Yulan was born in the Hou Mansion, how could she not understand that even if they exchanged Geng posts, they have not yet come. Make up your mind.Everyone will not speak out, after all, sometimes the plan is defeated by the change.

Song Yulan smiled and said, "Why can't it be this?"

Qing Huan ignored her, got up and went to the table to get a cup of tea and handed it to Song Yulan.

"Seeing the unhappy look on your brows, it seems to be something else." Qing Huan said softly: "There is nothing to worry about in the Yongyihou's mansion right now, the only thing is your marriage. gone."

After thinking about it, Qing Huan said, "Recently there is a rumor in Beijing."

"Don't talk about it." Song Yulan said weakly with drooping shoulders: "You've heard about it too. It seems that everyone knows this rumor."

Qing Huan didn't know what to say, but just sighed.

Speaking of this rumor, it is still related to Sun Yichun.

There is a first floor in the middle of the capital, where on weekdays many dudes go to drink, and sometimes some literati and bachelors also go there.Others will only say it is an elegant thing.

The girls in that building are all quite talented and learned, good at painting and speaking.

And there is always a girl in this building who becomes the most sought after person for some reason.And Sun Yichun made a big fuss in Beijing because of this person.

"There may be other reasons." Qing Huan explained dryly.

She really didn't have a good impression of Sun Yichun, and she didn't know him very well.The only knowledge I got from Song Yulan was that peacocks attract bees and butterflies.

It's not surprising that this kind of thing happened to Sun Yichun.

But... Sun Yichun and Song Yulan had already agreed on their marriage, and even agreed on a date, which was a day in December of this year.

"The reason?" Song Yulan sneered: "What reason could there be? It's just that his nature is hard to change. No...he never changed at all."

For every girl, how can she not have expectations for her future marriage?

Although Song Yulan knew about Sun Yichun's reputation, seeing was believing many things, and this marriage was good for many people.

Song Yulan had something in her heart that she didn't understand.

Only then did the two families become engaged.

After the engagement, Sun Yichun's performance was pretty good.

But who would have thought...

Qing Huan opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Song Yulan saw from the corner of her eye that suddenly she was lying on the ground, and she grabbed a pillow and covered her face.

A low whimper sounded.

Qing Huan stood up a little at a loss.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine soon. Don't move..." Song Yulan said in a low voice as if she could sense Qing Huan's thoughts.

Qing Huan bit her lip, holding the cup and looking out the window in a daze.

After a long time, the voice behind him quietly quieted down until it stopped.

Su Hou's rustling voice sounded.

Qing Huan turned around and saw that Song Yulan had sat up and was arranging some wrinkled clothes.

"Better?"

Song Yulan smiled and said: "What's the matter, the sand is blinding the eyes."

It is better not to laugh.

Qing Huan thought secretly that the smile was really ugly.

Although she was worried about Song Yulan's situation, what could she do?Song Yulan is the real daughter of Hou Yongyi, so what can she do as an orphan who has lost her husband and husband.

What can be done is probably like today, so that Song Yulan has a place to vent her emotions.

Thinking of this, Qing Huan said with a smile: "It's uncomfortable to be blinded by sand, and it's easy to get windy this month. Mancao often complains to me that the clothes are even dirtier when they are dried outside after washing. When you shake them open, they are full of dust. sand……"

Song Yulan snorted and laughed.

Qing Huan also smiled: "Wash your face, I have a nice powder, let me try it on?"

Song Yulan looked at Qing Huan and said firmly, "Okay."

Qing Huan also smiled.

After going outside to call for someone, Qing Huan went back to the house and stayed there.

A cup of tea, Xiang Nong and You Yuan came in with hot water and a basket.

Xiang Nong put the hot water in, put the handkerchief over the water, twisted it half dry, and handed it to Song Yulan.

Song Yulan took it and wiped it carelessly.

Qing Huan couldn't see it, so she snatched it up and crossed the water again.Seeing that her face was covered with flowers, she simply took soap locusts and washed it clean.

"Where did this come from?"

During this period, Youyuan had already taken out a few oranges from the basket.

"It was sent by Mother Xia." Youyuan replied.

Mama Xia?
Is it Princess Danyang or Rong Chen?

"It's a tangerine." Song Yulan glanced at it with a hint of surprise in her tone.

Song Yulan said: "This is delicious."

Qing Huan said with a smile: "It's not something you can't eat, you can eat it if you like it. Don't expect me to open it for you personally?"

Song Yulan smiled, took the tangerine and ate it.

Seeing that her expression seemed to be better, Qing Huan felt relieved, put down the veil and asked Xiang Nong: "Is this the only basket you sent?"

Before Xiang Nong could answer, Song Yulan yelled, "What do you mean, you can be satisfied with such a basket. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Although this food is not very expensive, it is still rare."

It was so.

Qing Huan nodded, and looked at the basket, which can hold about eight sea bowls, which seems to be quite a lot.After thinking about it, he simply ordered: "Go get a sea bowl and fill it up and send it to the Rongshou Hall for the old lady to try something new, and send another bowl to the eldest lady."

"Then two..."

Qing Huan shook her head.

Xiang Nong stopped talking immediately.

After Xiang Nong left with two sea bowls, Qing Huan asked You Yuan to take half of them out and send them to Yan Jun.The rest... Qing Huan was about to speak when she heard Song Yulan say, "Don't give it to me, I'll just eat it here."

Qing Huan nodded slightly: "Alright."

There were only twenty bowls in one bowl, and Qing Huan was embarrassed to let Song Yulan leave with such a small amount.

If she likes to eat, just let her eat more here.

Before Xiang Nong and You Yuan came back, Qing Huan sat with Song Yulan for a while,

Song Yulan got up and prepared to leave: "I'll go back first, and play with you after you make up your mind."

Qing Huan wanted to say that she was afraid that Song Yulan wouldn't be able to come out at that time, but she didn't say anything after looking at her expression.After sending Song Yulan into the carriage, Qing Huan sighed and turned around to go back.

"What a coincidence..."

Qing Huan raised her head: "Fourth Sister." After speaking, she looked around.

The fourth girl said: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that I will eat you?"

Qing Huan kept what she wanted to say in her mouth.

The fourth girl had already turned around and walked under the tree beside her.

Seeing this, Qing Huan had no choice but to follow, feeling a little regretful that she didn't bring her maid out.Although Mancao and Linglu were busy making accounts, it was only a short while.

It's better now...

In the current situation, there are only four girls and myself around here.

If it is not intentional, how to explain such a situation.

Qing Huan was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

That day in Rongshou Hall, not only the appearance of the second wife was shocked, Qing Huan also remembered the appearance of the fourth girl.

"Did you know that before?"

As soon as they approached, there were endless questions.

Qing Huan was stunned: "What happened?"

The fourth girl's eyes turned cold, and she sneered, "What's the matter? What else can you do? Seventh sister, you really have hidden it very deeply. I think you have already prepared it."

"What is the fourth sister talking about? I don't understand."

Qing Huan stepped back a little uncomfortable.

The fourth girl suddenly grabbed Qing Huan's arm: "You still pretend, it's all like this. Why don't you admit it. I'm stupid. I should have known that Rong Chen knew you a long time ago. How could this kind of thing happen?" It's on my head. I'm so stupid, why did I believe it. You did it on purpose, right..."

Qing Huan stared at the fourth girl dumbfounded.

"girl……"

A trembling voice came from behind.

Qing Huan turned her head to take a look, and then remembered that this place is not far from Rongshou Hall.Presumably, Xiang Nong came to take a look when he heard someone talking about sending Song Yulan away.

Someone came, and Qing Huan felt relieved.

"Fourth sister, let go." Qing Huan wanted to pull her hand away.

The fourth girl continued to ask: "Tell me why you treat me like this."

Qing Huan couldn't help frowning: "Fourth Sister, why did I do this? Did you forget that this matter is Master Rong's opinion, not Brother Rong's opinion. Marriage is the fate of the elders, and there are some words..."

Xiang Nong has already rushed over to pull Qing Huan away.

Qing Huan took a few steps back and said: "Trouble comes from the mouth, there are some things that Fourth Sister has to weigh to see if she can say them."

Don't wait for the reaction of the four girls behind.

Qing Huan quickly left with Xiang Nong.

Xiang Nong patted his shoulder with lingering fear.

Qing Huan suddenly laughed.

"Girl..." Xiangnon yelled in disbelief.

Qing Huan smiled: "I've never seen you lose your composure like this."

Xiang Nong's expression was rare, so rare that after seeing it today, Qing Huan had a faint feeling in her heart that the fourth girl hadn't caught her in vain.

If it wasn't for the identities of the two of them, Xiang Nong would have rolled her eyes.

After returning to the yard, Xiang Nong went directly to Mancao and Linglu.

Qing Huan looked at Xiang Nong complaining dumbfoundedly, and then Man Cao and Ling Lu looked at herself with disapproval.

Qing Huan smiled helplessly: "I'll just pay attention in the future."

The servant girls gave up after hearing this.

……

In the next few days, the fixed date came from Dongrong Mansion.

Although the Cheng family members are also elders, their surname is not Yan.

The appointed location is naturally in the Yan Mansion.

The old lady Yan simply handed over the matter to the eldest lady.As for the second wife...it will depend on whether she will mess up by then.

When the order is made, everything follows the rules.

Qing Huan hid in the house and did not show up.

The Rong Mansion does not have a decent hostess.

There was no need for Qing Huan to show up, but Mother Xia came over to look at Qing Huan, and then handed her a unique hairpin.

Qing Huan took a look at it in her hand, and exclaimed: "It's so unique..."

Xia's mother smiled, took the hairpin from Qing Huan's hand and inserted it into her bun, looked at it lovingly and said, "It's pretty, it's so pretty."

Qing Huan looked at Mama Xia in puzzlement.

Xia's mother smiled and said: "It was originally given to the girl by Princess Danyang when the girl came out of the pavilion. Later... Brother Rong picked it up. It is just right for you to wear today..."

It was only then that Qing Huan realized that the girl Xia's mother was talking about should be Rong Chen's mother, Rong Tian's original wife, Wang Shi.

Qing Huan suddenly felt a little heavy on her head, and her heart became heavier and heavier.

Mama Xia sighed.

"It's decided, and your marriage with Brother Rong is also finalized. Things in the future...don't worry about it, Brother Rong will handle everything."

Qing Huan shook her head.

Mother Xia stopped her and said, "It's inconvenient for you, you are still a girl from the Yan family." People like Aunt Wu from the Rong family will have to play tricks on Rong Chen's marriage.

It's not that once you make up your mind, you can let go of everything.

On the contrary, Rong Chen still has a big tough battle to fight.

Qing Huan is not suitable for this kind of thing.

There was one more thing that was shared by Mother Xia and Rong Chen.After Qing Huan marries Rong Chen, her stunts will not be easy.Although there is no decent mother-in-law in the house, and Rong Chen moved out alone, it doesn't mean that Aunt Wu won't be funny.However, it is inconvenient for Princess Danyang's Mansion to come forward with these matters.

As for the current marriage, Princess Danyang's Mansion can only stand behind Rong Chen.

It was Rong Chen himself who really had to deal with it.

Qing Huan didn't know about these things, she just sat alone in a daze after Rong Chen left.

The vines approached quietly.

Qing Huan looked up: "What is it?"

Mancao said: "The stewards are here, girl, look..."

Qing Huan frowned.

"Go and call the young master over."

Vinegrass should be.

Yan Jun brought Que'er with her, and Que'er held a small wooden box in her arms.

"Sister, see what I bought for you?"

Qing Huan knew that Yan Jun often took Le Shan and Le Shui out these days.

Although I was definitely worried in my heart, but thinking that I would get married in the future, Yan Jun would be the only one left who would need him most of the time, so I simply let go.

I just don't know... what did he buy here.

Qing Huan watched Yan Jun open the box curiously.

The box is not big, it can be held in Que'er's arms, and it is not heavy when walking.

When Qing Huan saw what was inside, she was stunned.

"Where... where did it come from?"

Vinegrass also shed tears.

Que'er stood there a little at a loss.

Yan Jun was startled: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Qing Huan shook her head, and pulled Yan Jun towards the cave.

Mancao took Que'er to the next room.

Qing Huan asked: "Where did those... come from?"

Yan Jun's eyes suddenly shifted.

"Brother Rong?" Qing Huan asked.

Yan Jun covered her nose: "How did my sister guess that?"

Qing Huan smiled and did not speak.

Inside this box was when Qing Huan and the others first arrived, in order to show weakness in the mansion and live cautiously, they did needlework every day and sold it.Qing Huan took a look, and found that most of them were made by herself, some new and some old.Some of them seemed to have been used by others, presumably they were bought by others and then asked to come back.

Although I don't know what method was used in the middle, the process may not be easy.

Plus time is not short...

Yan Jun is just a child, how can she have such abilities.

As for Cheng Jingxin, he probably wasn't as careful, and he didn't know about these things either.

Of the rest, Qing Huan and Yan Jun both knew Rong Chen.

Regardless of Rong Chen's current abilities, in the past, Princess Danyang's Mansion probably trained him a lot.

"Does my sister like it?"

Qing Huan nodded: "I like it."

Yan Jun just laughed.

"By the way, sister called me over?"

Qing Huan beckoned Yan Jun to come forward, whispering a few words in her ear.

Yan Jun's eyes lit up.

"Sister, how could we?"

Qing Huan smiled: "Could it be that you really think we live in and live in Yan's Mansion?"

Yan Jun shook her head.

Qing Huan smiled: "Those are all for you." It's just that it's not appropriate to announce it now, when there is news from Mr. Wu that he has moved the house.

The most important thing is that it would be nice for Yan Jun to get a good grade in the exam.

Even if it's a talent.

Thinking of this, Qing Huan remembered that it would be best to set the wedding date after Yan Jun's scientific examination next year.

After Yan Jun took Que'er back to the outer courtyard, she changed into a new outfit and took Le Shan and Le Shui out.

After the porter saw it, he didn't ask anything.

Yan Jun went out almost every day, and sometimes she would bring some small things to eat for the concierge when she came back.

Day by day, many people remembered his kindness.

Yan Jun went out, walking around with her head down.

Le Shan and Le Shui looked at each other, and hurriedly followed, guarding from left to right.I was afraid that Yan Jun would be bumped into when walking with her head down.

Walked aimlessly for an hour.

Le Shan Le Shui asked, "Master, where are we going for lunch?"

Only then did Yan Jun regain her senses.

Today is the day that Qing Huan made up her mind to, so Yan Jun took a day off for herself and didn't study.It is now noon.

Yan Jun looked up and looked around, not sure whether to go to Rong Chen's or Mr. Wu's first.

Thinking of what Qing Huan asked him to do, Yan Jun's eyes sank, and she said, "Go to the restaurant first and then go to Rong's Mansion after dinner."

Le Shui was a little puzzled.

Since we are going to Rong's mansion, why not just go there for dinner?

Leshan coughed lightly.

Le Shui smiled at him, and said no more.They can't interfere with what the master wants to do.

Ahead is a lively street market.

Yan Jun was going to find a restaurant to eat at random.

"The one in front is..."

He seemed to hear someone talking behind him.

Yan Jun continued to walk forward.

"Yan Jun?"

Yan Jun stopped and turned around, trying to see who was calling her.

"You are Yan Jun?"

Yan Jun looked at the person in front of her, she seemed familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
