41. Chapter 41
"If my sister has scars, I'll settle the score with him!"
In Yaoyue Pavilion, Xie Lanyin helped her sister apply medicine with heartache. She looked at the three blood-red nail marks caught by the young master of the Li family on her back and said furiously.
Xie Lanqiao has now calmed down and comforted his sister with a smile, "This little injury is not a problem. It will disappear after a few days of recuperation. He was sent back by Prince Shen, and a beating is indispensable. By the way, what did Lanyin come back to me for?"
Xie Lanyin was still angry and was in a good mood. While painting his sister Yulianshuang, he said with a tense face: "Qingqing asked us to go to the riverside with the third day of March to pick orchids. I'll ask if you want to go."
The Qingqing she mentioned was Yao Qingqing, the eldest girl from the Yao family next to the Jiang family. She was also a wealthy daughter. Yao and Jiang families had a good relationship. When Xie Lanyin came to live, she became close friends with the cheerful Yao Qingqing.
"Does Lanyin want to go?" Xie Lanqiao is not very interested in such things that girls like.
Xie Lanyin looked at her and whispered: "I'll go if my sister goes."
She doesn't have a brother, but both of her sisters can be watched by her brothers. She can have a sense of peace of mind with her sister. After being robbed last year, Xie Lanyin is now afraid to go out alone. On the Shangsi Festival, Cailan, and her cousins will send her to the riverside at most, so they will not stay among a group of girls and have to wander around the young master.
The sister clearly hoped that she would go, and Xie Lanqiao smiled, "Okay, let's go together."
Xie Lanyin immediately smiled and urged her sister to change her clothes, and she would help her comb her hair.
After dressing up, the two sisters went to meet the guests together.
Meng was the guest of honor, accompanied by Jiang Li. Seeing two beautiful girls walking side by side, Meng was stunned and pointed at Xie Lanqiao in surprise and asked Jiang: "This, is this the second girl?"
She had seen Xie Lanqiao when she was outside the door, but the men's clothing that Xie Lanqiao wore was handsome and now she has changed her daughter's appearance. She is heroic and charming, which makes her a little afraid to recognize her.
"Lanqiao has met his wife." Before his mother could reply, Xie Lanqiao bowed with a smile.
Jiang looked at his second daughter and explained helplessly: "This child is playful and always likes to dress up in men's clothes."
Meng looked at Xie Lanqiao carefully and smiled very kindly: "The little girls are like this. Our Miaomiao occasionally dresses up like a young master and goes out to ride a horse. Unfortunately, she has been uncomfortable these days and has not been able to bring her. It is inconvenient for you to walk around. One day I will invite Lanqiao Lanyin to visit our mansion and let them be companions."
Jiang quickly thanked.
But I didn't take it too seriously. The wives of aristocratic families like to say such polite words when they meet, but whether the children can play together depends on fate. For example, when she was a child, she went out with her mother, and the two adults had a good relationship, but she and the girls from each other didn't like each other.
As we chatted, the banquet was about to start.
After the banquet ended, the guests said goodbye one after another.
Meng got on the carriage and heard that his youngest son was excited to learn that Li Changmao was scolded by his father, and then he learned that his eldest son had some connection with Xie Lanqiao. She looked at the curtains and saw the eldest son with a cold expression through the gap. She asked the youngest son softly about the situation at that time, and couldn't help but frown.
The eldest son is cold-hearted and is not very enthusiastic about his younger brother and sister. He has hardly seen the girl outside, but this time he actually took the initiative to help Xie Lanqiao?
Could it be that he was attracted to Xie Lanqiao?
Meng instinctively disliked it.
She had long heard about the three girls of the Xie family. The eldest girl Xie Lanting practiced martial arts, and the second girl Xie Lanqiao liked to do business. Both of them were rebellious. Only the youngest Xie Lanyin looked like a girl. She praised Xie Lanqiao in front of Jiang, but she actually looked down on her.
When he returned to the mansion, Meng left his eldest son alone to ask, "I heard from the second girl of the Xie family, you have seen the Xie family?"
Chen Yingshi nodded without saying much.
Her son was so stupid that she didn't ask him. Meng was both headache and helpless. She smiled and said in a chat: "The second girl is the same. She is not a concern for a child with a half-year-old child. After all, it was the Jiang family treating her. After she made such a fuss, the Li family taught her son a lesson and she must have complained about the Jiang family. And you, the prince of the Marquis's family, what are you doing with the businessman? I haven't seen you meddling in other people's business before."
She was smart and tested her eldest son's thoughts about the other girl in a roundabout way.
Chen Yingshi is not stupid, so he can naturally hear it.
But he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and sat upright on the chair and lowered his eyes to listen to his mother.
He pretended to be confused like this, and Meng's headache turned into irritability, and he was a little displeased. He simply asked directly: "Did you fall in love with that second girl?"
Chen Yingshi finally looked up at her and said calmly: "Mother is worried too much. I have only seen her once, so how can I like it?"
If you don’t like it once you meet, can you like it just by meeting twice?
Meng's lips pursed, deliberately misinterpreting her son's meaning, and also reminded, "Yes, and she likes to show off and interfere too much in the shop. Such a girl is not suitable for being a daughter-in-law in the official family, and she is even less worthy of you."
"Don't talk about others, mother is careful about words." Chen Yingshi said lightly.
Meng choked, clenched her sleeves, and said tiredly, "Okay, I am a villain, you are a gentleman, I can't tell you the same place, right? Go back, I'll go see your sister." After that, he didn't look at his son, and got up and left.
Chen Yingshi watched her and went back to his yard.
Lying on the bed at night, he used to pick up the jade pendant and took it in his hand to play with it.
The unicorn on the jade pendant is majestic and placed on the nose in a moment, and the faint fragrance is gone.
Close your eyes and the memories that were not dreamy again appeared in your mind.
When he was seven years old, he fell seriously ill, his mind was dizzy, and he often fell asleep. One night, he felt that he was being held in his arms. It was a woman, but the fragrance on her body was different from that of her mother, but he was also familiar with him, because from childhood to adulthood, he often smelled this fragrance. Sometimes he smelled it on his pillow after waking up, and sometimes he smelled it when he was sick, but at that time he was too small to remember it.
Smelling again, at the age of seven, he wanted to open his eyes and see who else dared to hug him besides his mother.
But before he opened his eyes, she spoke, "I'm not afraid at the right time. Mom is here to see you. With Mom here, you'll be fine tomorrow..."
"Shut up, don't wake him up." It was the father's voice.
"Didn't you say you'll fall asleep after taking medicine?" The woman's voice was soft, and she said in the tone of accidentally doing something wrong.
The father didn't say anything, and the woman didn't say anything. She just gently put him back on the bed and covered him with a quilt. He could feel that she had looked at him for a long time, and when he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake up, she gently kissed his forehead, leaving a tear, a low, almost inaudible "sorry", and left.
He couldn't sleep all night that night, and his mind was clearer than when he was not sick.
He finally knew why his third brother looked so much like his mother, and he didn't like him anymore. He gradually knew why his third brother could live in his mother's yard until he was five years old. He was taken to the front yard by his father very early and he was not allowed to run to his mother's side frequently. Because his biological mother had someone else, and his father knew it very well.
My father liked to ask him to go to the study to talk. Once, he saw the curtain of the side room shaking and a woman's dress flashed by.
He felt that was his biological mother.
On the fifteenth year, his father gave him this jade pendant. Without smelling the faint fragrance, he knew that it must have been given by his biological mother because his father was not such a sentimental person.
Chen Yingshi even guessed that his biological mother lived in Mei Pavilion.
The second brother's eyebrows and eyes look like Meng's. Those who don't know will not think too much. He knows, so he doesn't understand why she wants to change him.
He doesn't resent because he knows that his biological mother must have difficulties.
But he didn't want to see her either, because she didn't want him first.
Meng was long-winded and had her shortcomings, but she treated him as her son, so he would not get close to her, but he respected her and treated her real children as younger brothers and sisters to take care of her. As for that, he just waited to see if his parents would never tell him the truth in their lifetime.
Put away the jade pendant and blew the light to fall asleep.
In the house behind the King of Qin’s mansion.
Xiao Yuan was dressed in a neat manner, sitting in the study, holding the Qilin jade pendant in his hand, with his eyes ecstasy.
It was almost three o'clock when familiar footsteps came from outside.
Ge Jin quickly went to open the door, and Lu Jun walked in in black.
"How is it?" Ge Jin asked for his master.
Lu Jun shook his head and looked solemn: "The guards of the Hou Mansion are so strict. I waited for nearly three quarters of an hour before I found the opportunity to sneak in. When I arrived at Mei Pavilion, I found that there were many guards around me, as if I knew someone would go over. I was afraid of shocking the snake, so I didn't dare to trespass. When I came back, I asked the young master to decide."
Ge Jin frowned and looked at his master.
Xiao Yuan was silent and said for a long time: "Since you are on guard, you don't have to go again in the future."
For an ordinary concubine, why did Chen Jie have to make so many famous things?
I'm afraid the people from Mei Pavilion were guarding against him, His Highness, the King of Qin who suddenly came to Xi'an.
Stopped, Xiao Yuan tightly held the jade pendant left to him by his mother.
Would you rather be a aunt who was burned with jade to be a concubine?
