Chapter 22

After making some arrangements for Lan Xin and the others, Zhang's mother went to Qingmei's place.Qingmei Liwu is reading a book, and the habit formed by Master Huang's oppression for seven years can't be changed for a while. In the past, she would accept his mental blows in Master Huang's study at this time.Apart from the wonderful letter, Master Huang reluctantly let Qingmei ransack his study once.So Qingmei unceremoniously picked out more than 50 volumes of the ones she was interested in and hadn't read, especially those that Master Huang himself was reluctant to part with, and brought them all to Lin's residence!

These books were individually packed in a large box by her, and the wooden box was also prepared in advance to prevent moisture and insects.Along the way, the box was packed together with Qingmei's many clothes, and because of its ordinary appearance, it did not attract the attention of everyone in the house.No one cared what was inside until it was carried into the Ome House.After all, what good things can a young lady bring back from Biezhuang?The Ten Mile Long Street in the capital was full of people, so they naturally got what they wanted, and no one cared about the little possessions that Qingmei brought back.

Zhang's mother walked into the room quietly, and Dongqiao raised her finger to signal her not to speak.Mother Zhang nodded, walked quietly to the side, and looked at the room calmly.

In this small main room, except for the inner room and the small side hall connected to the inner room, which were unceremoniously changed by Qingmei, other furniture arrangements were not changed much.Xu knows that Qingmei changed the situation here, and although she is not very happy in her heart, she still agrees with a smile on her face.She just wants to let the people in the government see how she treats Qingmei with tolerance and generosity, and how Qingmei repeatedly refute her face!

But Zhang's mother saw another deep meaning.After all, he is an old man who has been immersed in the palace for 20 years, with a pair of vicious eyes on his fleshy face.After looking around the entire room, she found an inconspicuous box in the corner.Because Qingmei changed the layout of the back room, the box was placed in the corner together with the cabinets in the room, so it was not very obtrusive.And the book in Qingmei's hand was taken out of that box, all this was seen by Zhang's mother, and at the same time it rotted in her stomach.

Qingmei read the book for a while, and Lan Xin outside the door sent a message through the curtain, "Miss, the second and third misses are here to see you." She closed the book, looked up at the beams of the house and stared in a daze.Zhang's mother understood, and went to her and said, "Second Miss is Miss Qingyou, and now she is raised under the wife's name. Third Miss is Qingran, and her biological mother is Aunt Zhang."

Qingmei nodded—Mother Zhang really had good eyesight, knowing that she couldn't remember any of the misses one, two, three, four, five.

"Let them sit in the side hall." Qingmei got up and put the book away.

Mother Zhang thought for a while, and decided to say a few more words, "Besides Second Miss and Third Miss, you also have a concubine sister, Fifth Miss Qingfang."

Qingmei thought for a while, "Have I seen her?"

Mama Zhang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "She was sitting next to Second Miss at dinner yesterday. But Fifth Miss didn't go to say hello to his wife this morning. I heard she was ill."

"Mother Zhang, are you hot?" Qingmei asked without beginning or end.

"Ah?" Zhang's mother paused for a while, wiping her sweating hands, and said with a laugh, "Yeah, it's really a dull day today, I think it's going to rain again."

"Oh." Qingmei replied, "I don't have any impression..."

Mother Zhang was taken aback, and it took her a long time to realize that Qingmei was saying that she had no impression of Qingfang.These half-talks and half-sentences made people feel inexplicable, and really couldn't figure out what Qingmei thought of her three sisters in her heart.

As soon as she walked to the side hall, Qingyou and Qingran stood up to meet her.Qingran is Aunt Zhang's daughter, only one year older than Qingmei Zhang, and will be fourteen this winter.Compared with Qingyou's elegance, Qingran looks very similar to Aunt Zhang. The mother and daughter both follow the gorgeous path, the kind of looks that men like and women envy.

Thanks to Zhang's mother who had mentioned a few words earlier, when Qingmei saw Qingran and Qingyou, she thought of her little sister Qingfang.She is only eight years old this year, and she has been sitting quietly as the background when eating.At that time, my complexion seemed to be fine, why did I get sick after one night?
"My sister has had a hard time." Qingyou smiled, as gentle and moving as a spring breeze.Qingmei's wandering thoughts were pulled back, and she nodded slightly to Qingyou, which was regarded as a response.

Qingyou reached the age of Ji last year, and now she has only one purpose to see Qingmei, if she can't become sisters with this prostitute, then don't become an enemy, after all, she has reached the marriageable age, if she offends her prostitute and offends her wife If the master is not happy, his marriage will definitely be greatly affected.

Qingran continued, "When I greeted my wife today, my sister went early. I wanted to wait for my sister to wake up from her afternoon nap, but I happened to meet Qingyou's sister on the way to the garden. I said that I might as well visit my sister together, lest everyone They came one by one, but disturbed my sister's rest."

Qingyou choked for a moment, and replied to Qingran, "Since we are here for a visit, we should come early. There is no reason for it to come after the sun goes down."

——If you dare to tear down my platform, don't pretend to be a good person!

Qingyou raised her eyebrows calmly, and put some pressure on Qingran who was beside her.

At this time, Lan Xin brought tea and snacks up, and the confrontation between the two came to an end for a while.

Seeing Lan Xin appearing at Qingmei's place, Qingran couldn't help being surprised—the wife is too kind to Qingmei, it doesn't count that she assigned Mama Zhang to her, but even the big maidservants like Lan Xin came to serve her!

Qingyou also took a sip of tea, it was indeed the tea brewed by Lanxin, it really left a fragrance on the lips and teeth.Normally, Lan Xin only takes care of his wife.If you want to drink the tea made by her, unless you are rewarded by your wife, you really can't drink such a good tea.

"By the way, I heard that my sister used to have a playmate when she lived in Biezhuang, and now she also came to the capital." Qing You withdrew her thoughts, and began to make friends with Qing Mei.

"En." Qingmei nodded, and she also received two letters from Qian Jiao.In the letter, Qian Jiao also regretted that she could not come to the prosperous place in the capital.It's just that I don't know how she will react if she knows that she has returned home at this moment.

"Miss Qian was very happy when she learned that you came, and she has always wanted to visit. I sent someone to tell her that my sister just arrived at the house yesterday and is busy now."

"Yes!" Qing Ran said, "What is the identity of my younger sister? There are a lot of important things to do when I go back to the mansion. It's not like any lady from any family can enter the mansion with an inexplicable post. I shouldn't say anything. Yes, now that my sister has just returned to the mansion, it is better to go to the wife's side more often. In order not to fall into the eyes of those who are interested, they may think that our lady from Lin's mansion has just returned to the mansion for a few days, and she is in a hurry to make friends with other ladies from other mansions. .”

Qingyou was so angry that her teeth itch - if you don't fight against me for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, won't you? !
Qingran raised her eyebrows - that's right, I just don't like you!It's also a concubine, so why are you being raised by your wife under your name, and who are you showing off as a prostitute? !
Qing Mei was silently holding a cup of tea, and suddenly a traditional drama performance form of a certain oriental country in her previous life appeared in her mind - cross talk...

By the way, is this group crosstalk or double crosstalk?Hey, she really has a low cultural level...

Zhang's mother secretly smiled in her heart, the daughter-in-law is back, and there is more excitement among the ladies in the mansion.Thinking about it, I couldn't help taking a peek at Qingmei again, she was sipping tea leisurely, she looked like she had nothing to do with herself, she didn't seem to have any awareness of being the center of Qingyou's debate, and the two actually settled the dispute They didn't even fight.Hey...Miss, you need to learn more about the world.

Qingran smiled and said, "Sister Qingyou, I want to ask you something I don't understand."

Qingyou scolded her thousands of times in her heart, but she still had to put on a sisterly look on her face, "Sister, don't say that, if I know, I must tell you. If I don't know, sister, don't be angry what."

"Is my sister saying that because she is afraid that I will make trouble for no reason?"

"I didn't mean it that way."

Qing Ran smiled, and gave Qing You a meaningful look, "My sister just returned to the mansion yesterday, so the news about Miss Qian is really well-informed."

Qingyou said, "Does the daughter-in-law still have to hide it when she returns to the mansion?"

"Then I'm surprised. Ms. Qian is my sister's childhood friend. It stands to reason that it would be reasonable for Ms. Qian to visit my sister, but why did you ask Sister Qingyou to convey it?"

Qingyou felt a chill in her heart.

——Isn't this clearly saying that she doesn't take the prostitute's daughter seriously? !

"I...I..." Qingyou's expression was finally not as calm as before, and her face was a little anxious.

She originally wanted to use Qian Jiao's level to draw closer to Qingmei.From the few conversations with Qian Jiao before, it can be seen that she has a good relationship with Qingmei, otherwise she wouldn't be able to maintain frequent correspondence after coming to the capital.It's enough to blame her for being so anxious that she didn't even think that it would be extremely rude to go over the prostitute's daughter and deal with her friends.To put it seriously, others would suspect that she approached Qian Jiao on purpose to inquire about Qingmei's private affairs!

Qingran was in a good mood, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly - tsk, what a good tea!

"I wrote a letter to A-Jiao when I came here, and the date should be here now. Apart from me, she is familiar with Sister Qingyou in the Lin Mansion. It is reasonable to ask Sister Qingyou whether I will return to the residence or not." , nothing surprising."

"This...is that so." Suddenly, I felt that the tea was a bit dull before!
"En." Qingmei nodded.

Qingyou looked at her gratefully, but she didn't feel much relieved.What Qingmei did was just to make everyone feel better, what was she thinking in her heart... People's hearts are unpredictable!
