The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 259 Persuading younger siblings to meet Nian Qingyan for the first time (2)
Nian Qingyan's face paled slightly, she is also a person with an exquisite heart, how could she not hear the irony in Ba Fujin's words?It's just that the status of Fujin is not something she can offend, so she forced a smile and said: "The quality of Qingyan Puliu, how dare you deserve Fujin's praise."

Eight Fujin snorted, took a sip of tea and turned his head to Daiyu with a smile: "Speaking of which, Sisao's appearance shocked many people back then, but she didn't deserve the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital." Nian Qingyan left aside, the meaning in her words made Mrs. Nian's heart skip a beat.Daiyu smiled and said: "Do you want to say that I am old now? The eighth brother and sister are always straightforward, please sit down, Miss Nian." Nian Qingyan couldn't help but look up at Daiyu after hearing what Eight Fujin said.This look is a mixed feeling in my heart.She is only fifteen years old this year. Two years ago, she came to visit Si Fujin with her sister-in-law. Although Fujin didn't see him from afar, she saw Si elder brother.At that time, the fourth elder brother, who was not yet thirty, was already the dignified prince.Although she only glanced at herself lightly, the girl's reassurance at that moment fell away from then on.Nian Qingyan has been conceited since she was a child that she has a prominent family background, and her looks and talents are even better.Even if he knew that he was going to be drafted in the future, he also felt that those so-called royal family members might not be worthy of him.But he didn't want to meet such an outstanding person as soon as he returned to Beijing.Since then, his heart has been fixed on Prince Yong, and even if he meets such a handsome and elegant person in the future, he will not be able to catch his eyes anymore.

Nian Qingyan never cared about the words that her brother mentioned to her that fourth master didn't care about her when she came back.In her opinion, it was just because fourth master had never really seen his own appearance clearly and understood his talent.As long as fourth master knows and understands, he will definitely like himself.As for Sifujin, the rumors in the capital are more about the love between Si Ye and Fujin, and how smart and virtuous Sifujin is in managing the family.Or how blessed to have three sons and two daughters in succession, each deeply loved by the emperor.Naturally, not many people would dare to spread the word about Prince Yong Fujin's appearance, even if her brother and sister-in-law came back and said how beautiful Prince Yong Fujin was, she would still discount it in her ears.Where can a woman who has been married for eight or nine years and has five children be so beautiful?Even if she was beautiful once, how can she be in the prime of her youth?At this moment, I suddenly looked up, but saw the beautiful woman sitting above you smiling at me.That beautiful face is bright and clear, but no one can pick out a trace of badness. It has the aloofness of a bright moon flying in the sky, and the demureness of delicate flowers shining on the water.Just a faint smile makes people feel like the earth is returning to spring.But there was a touch of coolness and nobility blooming between the brows, making people only dare to look at it from a distance and dare not be lewd.This... How could this be the mother of five children?Nian Qingyan felt a chill in her heart, and stared at Daiyu blankly with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Nian Qingyan only felt that compared with the person in front of her, she was like the star beside the bright moon.In front of her, her delicate and delicate posture, which was usually praised by Lianai, was ridiculously contrived.Nian Qingyan panicked thinking that if this is Sifujin... If Sifujin looks like this, then what hope can she have?
Seeing Nian Qingyan's demeanor, how could Bafujin not know what she was thinking?Presumably, he came here with a comparative mind and complacency, but was shocked by Daiyu's appearance.It's not how Bafujin treats Daiyu, it's just that they are both regular wives, and they always have a natural dislike for those who are seductive and heretics.He glanced at Nian Qingyan faintly, and said with a half-smile: "Miss Nian, why does she look like this? Could it be that she was frightened by the fourth sister-in-law? It's no wonder... even our grand masters, many Fujins would also like to see the fourth sister-in-law every time they see her." I was in a daze for a long time." Nian Qingyan shook her head in embarrassment, wanted to say something and denied it for a while but didn't know what to say.I had to look at Fujin pitifully, her beautiful eyes filled with mist filled with grievances, seeing her like this, Fujin became even more impatient, and sat aside without speaking with a snort.Mrs. Nian couldn't help frowning when she saw her sister-in-law's appearance.She had just married into Nian's family for less than a year, and the family loved this delicate and weak sister-in-law very much, so she had no choice but to be polite to her.But after all, she was born as a noble daughter of a master, so she didn't like Nian Qingyan's shy and timid expression, whether she wanted to cry or not.

"Her youngest daughter's family has never seen anything in the world. She offended the two Fujins and begged Fujin to forgive her." Madam Nian had no choice but to stand up and apologize.

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Forget it. It's not a big deal. However, Miss Nian is due to be drafted this year. It's better to teach this rule more. After all, the palace is not the same as the outside." Mrs. Nian heard the words, Although there was a smile on his face, his heart sank.Si Fujin personally said that his girls' manners are not good enough, so can Qingyan still enter Prince Yong's mansion?Nian Qingyan stood aside with lowered eyebrows, and after hearing Daiyu's words, she couldn't help but look up at her, and the displeasure flashed across her eyes.Daiyu saw her expression at this moment, smiled lightly and ignored it.

"Master is back, big brother is back." There was a voice outside the door.

As soon as Daiyu was about to get up, she saw Yinzhen walking in with Hongyao from the outside. She should abide by the rules in front of outsiders, but Daiyu stepped forward to give her a blessing, but she only said, "Fourth brother." Yinzhen Raising his hand to support her, he glanced at everyone present.Eight Fujin and Mrs. Nian also got up and saluted. After Yinzhen called out, Nian went up to pay respects, "Qingyan pays tribute to the prince." There was a hint of sarcasm in Eight Fujin's eyes, and he turned his head to drink tea.Originally, an unmarried daughter of Nian Qingyan should have avoided seeing the prince coming in, but she had better avoid it and followed her sister-in-law to salute and then passed.If he wants to stand up and salute alone, his intentions can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart.Such a woman, not to mention that she was not willing to give Yinhu a concubine in the first place, even if she wanted to, she couldn't.Maybe she would dare to come out and discredit the county palace tomorrow after entering the door today.Daiyu sat down on the main seat supported by Yinzhen, just in time to see the undisguised admiration and infatuation in Nian Qingyan's eyes, even though she knew how much the fourth brother loved her, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, her face His smile gradually faded.

"Emiang, who is this?" Hong Yao asked curiously as he stood aside and looked at Nian Qingyan with her innocent eyes blinking.Hong Yao is eight years old this year, and he was guarded by Yin Zhen and Dai Yu faction's confidantes since he was a child. The backyard of Prince Yong's Mansion is also quiet, but he is in good shape.The eight-year-old child is not even a little shorter than the 11-year-old son Hongsheng of the third elder brother's family.Although his temperament is not as cold and calm as Yinzhen's, he is still calm and composed.At least he looks like a little grown-up in front of outsiders.At this time, seeing Nianshi's simple blinking eyes made Daiyu laugh secretly, this is the look that Hongyao would have if he was going to cheat someone.
