Chapter 1791 - Tentative
The next day, Zhulan was rarely at home, and she was lazy for a while in the morning, eating breakfast half an hour later than usual.
The breakfast is very light, a bowl of white rice porridge, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of steamed eggs are all good food for digestion.
After breakfast, Zhulan stood up and said, “Go to the garden for a walk.”
Qingxue motioned for the girl to follow, and the group arrived at the garden. Zhulan ran to the grape trellis, and the bunches of grapes were hanging on them, looking delightful.
Zhulan sat on the rocking chair, “Well, it’s still comfortable here.”
Qingxue took the cape and put it on the lady’s leg, “The wind is a bit strong today.”
Zhulan looked at the cloak, “I’m old.”
Qingxue smiled, “Madam is not old, you are in good shape!”
Zhulan smiled. She has been walking around a lot recently, and she has been sleeping better every day. “Why is the house so quiet today?”
At this time, the granddaughter should go to the garden to exercise.
Qingxue said, “You forgot? Today, a few young ladies went to visit Concubine Chen’s Zhuangzi.”
Zhulan patted her forehead, “Look at how busy I was, I really forgot.”
Qingxue, “Princess Jingxuan and Princess Zhenyue went together.”
“It’s Lin Xi’s idea again.”
After sitting for a while, Zhulan closed her eyes and felt drowsy, Qingxue just wanted to ask Madam to go back, so as not to catch a cold.
I saw Mrs. Shizi walking over with a post in her hand.
Zhulan heard the footsteps and opened her eyes, “What’s the hurry?”
Mrs. Li handed the post in her hand to her mother-in-law, “Mother, take a look.”
Zhulan opened the post and dropped a gift list. She was stunned for a few seconds. She picked it up and looked at the good guy. The gift list was heavy enough for all kinds of antique ornaments, as well as pearls in boxes. Then, she looked at the post of Mrs. An.
Mrs. Li, “Send the post well, and also include the gift list, what does Anjia mean?”
Zhulan put down the post and the gift list, “Anjia sent the gift list to come and try it out.”
“Try?”
Zhu Lan lost her sleepiness, and motioned for Mrs. Li to sit down first, “Changzhi is in Chuanzhou, and the foundation of his family is also in Chuanzhou. As Qiu Wei is approaching, he can’t sit still, so I want to test our family’s attitude.”
Changzhi is like a sword hanging over An Jia’s head. The more afraid An Jia is, the more he wants to make sure that Changzhi has no other purpose in going to Sichuan Province.
Li asked, “Mother, fourth brother will be okay.”
“No, An Jia dare not, Mr. An works in the Ministry of Industry.”
Li Shi was relieved, “Then what should I do here?”
Zhulan, “What do you think?”
Li smiled, “My daughter-in-law will send it back, and our Zhouhou Mansion will not accept bribes.”
“Well, don’t pay attention to Anjia’s temptation, the grasshoppers in the autumn will not be around for a few days.”
Mrs. Li handed the post and the gift list to the woman beside her, and said, “Mother, this An family really has money.”
“Well, Mr. An’s coming to Beijing is very high-profile. Now we all know that the An family has money.”
Li frowned, “It’s too high-profile.”
Zhulan smiled, “Different people have different ways to survive.”
If the An family did not make a mistake, and the money in the family came from seriousness, the An family would have found a backer for themselves. However, there are too many smart people in the capital, and the money eyeing the An family would go to Sichuan to investigate first. People have checked, so Anjia has been bouncing around for so long and still can’t find a backer.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of some people, the silver of the An family is destined to enter the treasury, and no one will be too long to compete with the emperor for money.
It’s a pity that the An family couldn’t see himself clearly, and also underestimated the family in the capital.
Concubine Chen’s Zhuangzi, the princess can’t keep a low profile when she travels, especially when the two princesses are traveling together. Today, Zhuangzi is rarely open for one day, and everyone who gets the news has come.
It is said that Zhuangzi rebuilt it again, not only adding a place to rest, but also building several platforms for painting and writing.
Today, there are not only women, but also men in Zhuangzi. Concubine Chen is famous, and her Zhuangzi is also famous, and many people come here today.
Lin Xi blinked, “Master Wu is here.”
Zhenyue’s ears were slightly red, but her face was generous, “I told him.”
She is too busy, and it is rare to have a relaxing day. Naturally, she wants to chat more with the future concubine.
Lin Xi approached Yuwen again and said, “Master Gu and Master Wu came together.”
Yuwen, “Stop gossiping, I didn’t inform you.”
She hadn’t seen Gu Sheng since her father’s office, and she knew a lot of news. Gu Sheng rarely entered the palace now, but this person’s mood was stable, maybe he didn’t pursue much, and he was very content in the Hanlin Academy.
Today, men and women are separated. When you enter Zhuangzi, the left side is open to men, and the right side is for women. When the time comes, you can switch to avoid accidents.
Zhenyue is a princess, she wants to talk to the future concubine, and there is no need to shy away from being accompanied by the female official and others.
Yuwen can’t talk to Gu Sheng anymore. There are too many people today, and both men and women who are engaged must abide by etiquette, not to mention that she and Gu Sheng have not yet engaged.
Princess Zhenyue stayed, Yuwen nodded at Gu Sheng, and then followed her sisters to the right.
Yuwen didn’t want to come today, but unfortunately there are two princesses here. She was invited to come. After a while, she saw that the chair couldn’t move. “I didn’t rest well last night, so I will sit here for a while.”
Lin Xi knows her cousin well~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yudie spoke first, “Okay, we’ll come to you later.”
Then Yuwen can rest. The garden here is full of girls. Yuwen leaned on the chair and looked at the scenery of the lake. Today is windy and sunny. Well, this weather is too suitable for sleeping in.
Several girls looked at each other and took two steps forward to block their gaze.
Yuwen sighed that she didn’t know when she would be able to go home, she was listless with a fan over her head.
“The little girl has seen the county head Anhe.”
A few girls backed away, Yuwen took off the fan, “It’s you.”
Miss An was nervous. She thought of her father’s advice, “Can the county owner take a step to speak?”
Her father asked her to try her luck today. Unexpectedly, she saw not only the county owner, but also the princess and the county owner. She followed all the way and did not dare to go forward until the county owner left the team.
Yuwen sat still, “I don’t want to hear it.”
Well, it’s that direct.
Miss An was dumbfounded. Is this a normal reaction?
Yuwen’s girls had smiles in their eyes, that’s how her county chief speaks so directly.
Miss An was annoyed, but did not dare to show it. The experience of Beijing told her that she was really nothing in the circle of Miss Jing, and the arrogant young lady didn’t want to look at her more.
Her marriage is also a problem. Knowing that the An family is rich, all those who come to ask for marriage are children below the fourth rank. Thinking about it, she will die.
Miss An put on a smile again, “County Lord, your father had contact with our Anjia in Chuanzhou, and once went to our Anjia to sit as a guest.”
Yuwen didn’t believe that her father would go to the An family for no reason. She really went to show that the An family had something on her mind, “Are you sure the news is true?”
Miss An recalled what her father said, and her father would not lie to her, “Really.”
How could he know that Lord Zhou had indeed been there, but he had never entered the house, standing outside the door, causing the An family to be in a panic.
