Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 53 The Begonia in Desheng Lane
Although there wasn't any good tea in Haitang's room, Gu Qiying still praised it politely, and then asked Haitang if she liked to drink tea.Father Cui is a good tea taster, and his colleagues often sent some famous teas from all over the world, and Haitang also drank a lot of them.

Seeing Haitang nod her head, Gu Qiying said: "An old subordinate of my father brought Yuqian tea from Jiangnan in spring and kept it iced to keep it fresh. Later, I will ask someone to send some to Ninghui Pavilion. It’s just that the production of this tea has never been much, so don’t think it’s too little.”

He was right to tell Gu Qiying.How could Haitang not know about the tea in the south of the Yangtze River?Yuqian tea is famous and expensive precisely because of its scarcity.After thanking her immediately, she was a little surprised why Gu Qiying was so kind to her.

Gu Qiying said again: "I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, I've only read about it in books, small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, people really yearn for it. Did you grow up in Jiangnan?"

When Haitang heard her talking about Jiangnan, she couldn't help feeling nostalgic, she put down her guard for a while, and replied: "When I was six years old, I went to Jiangnan with my father. I was born in the capital before. In the blink of an eye, I have stayed in Jiangnan for ten years. "

"It turns out that Mrs. Cui is only sixteen. Although I entered the mansion late, I am older than you. I am almost eighteen."

"In a few months, I'll be seventeen soon, how much older can the side concubine be than me?"

"I don't care, since I'm older than you, you have to call me sister."

Seeing her making out, Haitang was flattered and said with a smile: "You are a side concubine, so I should call you elder sister."

"Sister Cui..." That's when the call came, Gu Qiying had the ability to call it very naturally, "Which part of the capital did your family live in before, do you still live in the old house now?"

"I live in Desheng Lane. When I went to Jiangnan, my father sold the house. It is said that a Beijing official bought my house. Now I live far away, but it is also a gift from the imperial court. My father likes it."

Gu Qiying's heart sank heavily, she only felt that the answer was about to come out, but she had a surprised expression on her face.

"Desheng Lane! Is it really Desheng Lane?"

"yes……"

Gu Qiying was so excited that she grabbed Haitang's hand: "My family lives in Desheng Lane. I also heard from my mother that I bought it from an outside official. Ten years ago, yes, ten years ago."

It can't be such a coincidence!Haitang also became excited: "East Alley, Desheng Lane, there are three households in total. My home is in the easternmost one. Which one did yours buy?"

"That's my home!" Gu Qiying clapped her hands happily, "How could such a coincidence happen?"

Haitang thinks it wrong, I heard that the Gu family has quite a few wives and concubines, as well as many children, just the daughter, Gu Qiying is ranked third.

"But...my house used to be very small, can yours live in it?"

Gu Qiying said with a smile: "It was a bit cramped at first, but later, the other two houses were bought by my father by coincidence. After renovation and expansion, they are now enough for our family to live in."

So that's the case, Haitang only remembers that one of the two families is a businessman, and the other is also an official family. After so many years, the businessman moved and the official family was transferred, which has helped the Gu family.

"So it has been remodeled. I wonder if the crabapple in the yard is still there?"

"Yes, it blooms every year. Every spring, the courtyard is full of beautiful crabapples. When I entered the mansion, they were in full bloom."

Haitang showed an envious expression: "It was planted by my father when I was born..."

Suddenly, she looked at Gu Qiying and expressed her request: "When autumn comes, can I invite my side concubine... No, sister Gu. Please give me a plant, I don't know if it will be possible..."

Gu Qiying smiled and said: "That's okay. I don't know that there is a story about this crabapple flower. If I knew that your father planted it with my own hands, I would have invited you to see it."

After all, Haitang also understands that as a concubine, it is impossible for her to really go to the Minister of War's house to enjoy the flowers.

"Thank you, Sister Gu. It's so inconvenient to come to the door. I just need to plant a plant in the yard, and then we can get along day and night, just like seeing my parents."

The two chatted happily.At least, Haitang felt very happy, thinking that she would see the crabapple flowers planted by her father again soon, she was extremely happy.When Gu Qiying said that she was going to leave, Haitang was even a little bit reluctant.

Gu Qiying, who returned to Duanhua Pavilion, was not as happy as Haitang.

It is certain that the little girl King Mu met was Cui Haitang when he was a child.Gu Qiying once fell in love with the Xifu Begonia plant in the yard. It is delicate and bright, but warm and free and easy.Someone once used that flower to compare her, and she was secretly happy at that time.

But now thinking of that crabapple, she wished she could dig it up and burn it.

Take a deep breath and tell yourself not to be reckless.Ever since taking the name of Cui Haitang, Mu Wang has a deep affection for him, and what he needs to do now is to consolidate this love, not to mess things up by acting rashly.

Then I called the servant girl Yanmo, and she wanted to write a letter to the eldest brother, asking him to take good care of the crabapple plant in the yard, and then, to tell some other things...

Today, Yongrou came again.

Ever since Qin Yan's same mother sister, Princess Yongshou, married west, Qin Yan's love for her sister really had nowhere to put it, so she shifted a little to Yongrou.In addition, Yongrou was rescued by him, so naturally she is more dependent on him.

Xiaobao went to Ninghui Pavilion to pick up Haitang, and Yongrou rushed forward.

She and Haitang have met several times, and they are becoming more and more intimate with each other. The suspicion and sensitivity towards others disappeared when they came to Haitang.

Haitang was caught off guard and was almost thrown down by her. She caught her fiercely, and after she let go, she patted her chest: "Princess, you are a sheep, not a wolf. You can't attack me like this."

Yongju said: "No, no, I am a wolf and you are a sheep." Then he turned to Qin Yan and said, "Third Brother, if I were a man, I would take Sister Haitang away."

Qin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where are you going to take him captive?"

"Take her captive to my house, and I want to marry her."

"But she is from my house."

Yongrou curled his lips: "Third Brother, you have so many women, it's nothing to lose one. But if I were a man, I would definitely only want Sister Haitang alone."

Haitang looked at Qin Yan, extremely innocent: "Should I be born to belong to your royal family?"

Before Qin Yan could answer, Yong Rou had already rushed to say: "That's right! Although I'm not a man, if Third Brother doesn't want you, you can come to my house."

This matter is really wronged, Qin Yan is really going to take Haitang away with a few words from her.

Who said he didn't want her anymore?
