Chapter 174: Qingming 1 (Junior's jealousy)
"Oh, we Lingmei will also be sisters." Xie Yuanniang smiled and squeezed her eyes with Zuidong.
Ling Mei didn't feel blushed either.
The atmosphere in Qingshan Courtyard was cheerful. After hearing Yan Xin’s report, Xie Wenhui said, “That is to say, the pen and ink used in the mansion over the years were taken from the shop of my grandfather’s family.”
Yan Xin nodded, "I saw that Liu's mother brought someone back and went to the lady's yard again. Later, Liu's mother went out in person. I went to the gatehouse to inquire, and the gatehouse happened to have a few words to talk to someone."
Xie Wenhui looked at the pen and ink sent by her mother Liu just now, "Please let me put away the things."
My grandmother's family loved Xie Yuanniang. If the Xie family could use things on the shop for nothing, it must be because my grandmother's family was deliberately loved Xie Yuanniang. My mother told her yesterday, perhaps because she was afraid that the truth would be spread and then let the grandmother's family know.
Whenever she thinks about using Xie Yuanniang's welfare like a thief, Xie Wenhui feels depressed.
Baozhi and Yanxin couldn't guess what the girl was thinking. After hearing this, Baozhi put away the rice paper.
Xie Wenhui bit her lip, "And what? What's going on with my mother?"
"I didn't know how long my wife had written a letter and sent it away. I heard that it was sent to Jiangning County."
Xie Wenhui couldn't guess it. She knew that her mother rarely wrote letters to her grandfather's family and had very little contact with her. She didn't understand why she suddenly wrote letters to her grandfather's family.
She thought a lot, but she didn't associate it with the matter of Bimoshu.
It has been April, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The palace examination is in the late month. After receiving Ren Xianhong's promise, Xie Yuanniang has been staying at the mansion for the past few days. There are not many people she has come and go to and from the usual days. No one is looking for her except for the newly met Wang Boyan.
There are two days on Qingming Festival. After paying homage to ancestors, families will also have dinner in the wild for outings. The elegant people also call that day "outside the door earth art". There are many "cuju" and "one day kite" in the suburbs that day and swing competitions.
If you don’t wear willows on Qingming Festival, you will become a pig or a dog in the next life.
The day before the Qingming Festival, the mother-in-law in the mansion had already picked willow branches and inserted them on the door, which meant that hundreds of ghosts would not enter the house.
There are many activities in the suburbs of Qingming Festival. On that day, women in the boudoir could also go out for a stunning outing, without even wearing a gauze or having to take care of men and women outing together. It was a very festive day.
Xie Yuanniang was also looking forward to it. She had never participated before, because after plotting against Gu Tingzhi, she married into Gu's mansion before the spring examination. Gu Tingzhi did not participate in the spring examination and left home and went to the border.
He had no entanglement with Gu Tingzhi in this life, so Xie Yuanniang finally no longer had to hurt Gu Tingzhi and refused to participate in the spring exam.
The matter with Ren Xianhong was confirmed again, and Xie Yuanniang also wanted to relax in the suburbs on Qingming Festival. She wrote a letter to Wang Boyan a day in advance, and made an appointment to go out together with Qingming Festival, and then pulled the girl in the yard to make kites together.
Xie Wenhui was not as relaxed as Xie Yuanniang. When she heard that Xie Yuanniang still had the heart to make a kite, her face became more ugly. The Su family was still staring at her, but she actually had the heart to play.
Xie Wenhui was annoyed that she wanted to solve the trouble of not staring at the Xie family's backer, but she couldn't think of it. Now she only hopes that Gu Yuan would do the rehabilitation of General Liu early, so that the Su family would accept his orders and take away the credit. After the matter was decided, everything would be calm.
On the Qingming Festival, there were many people in the suburbs. After Xie Yuanniang got off the carriage, Kong told her, "Don't cause trouble."
I still wanted to say a few more words. The ladies of each family that had agreed on had arrived. Kong took Xie Wenhui away. Xie Yuanniang made an appointment with Wang Yushi's daughter alone, and Kong also knew about it.
Xie Yuanniang calculated the time and made an appointment with Wang Boyan early, so she took Ling Mei to the stall selling things first. There were many gadgets, which were not expensive but were just to please.
Xie Yuanniang bought two candy men. Finally, she saw a little chicken seller, so she bought two for Lingmei to carry. Cuju was not here, and she was surrounded by colorful flags around her. Xie Yuanniang didn't like that, so she wanted to find an open space to fly a kite first. She made an appointment with Wang Boyan to ask her to find a kite with dragonflies and she could find someone.
Before we found the open space, we saw a group of young men from aristocratic families riding horses from afar, flying all the way, attracting everyone from all over to avoid it.
Xie Yuanniang took Ling Mei and walked down the path and stepped into the grass. The group of people rode past the horse, but the person who was leading the horse turned around and rode his horse to a short distance in front of Xie Yuanniang and tied the reins.
Xie Yuanniang saw the visitor and greeted him, "Little Lord."
There were many people going out, and Jiang Cai rode his horse quickly, but he still recognized Xie Yuanniang in the crowd at a glance. Her tender yellow shadow was like a strong wind that could be blown away.
Jiang Cai saw her perfunctory behavior, and when he thought of the confession between Xie Yuanniang and Ren Xianhong, his chest was stuffy. He rode his horse around Xie Yuanniang's master and servant for two times before stopping, looking straight at Xie Yuanniang without saying anything.
This person is sick.
Xie Yuanniang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and she didn't know what disease he had had, so she asked Ling Mei to walk forward.
Jiang Cai clamped his horse with his legs and followed, "Xie Er, we will come and see you today. Today, I will let you see what a niche face means."
As he said that, he felt that this was wrong, so he changed his words, "Let you see if those little guys are not useful."
"Go back to the little lord, I've made an appointment." If it weren't for the fact that he had argued with him, it would have made him entangled, Xie Yuanniang really wanted to stop and ask him a few words, "Why should he go to see him when he's Cuju?"
Jiang Cai was unhappy that she refused, and her eyes turned and she made plans. She didn't ask anymore and rode away on a horse.
As soon as the others left, Meicai whispered, "Girl, the little lord seems unhappy today."
"How could he be happy if he doesn't bully people?" Xie Yuanniang replied casually.
Ling Mei thought about it and it was indeed the reason. It was really not peaceful where there was a little lord.
The master and servant finally stopped in a place with few tourists. Several women from the boudoir stood together and watched the girls beside them flying kites.
The master and servant picked a place and asked Mei to put down the things in her hand. Then she opened the kite. Xie Yuanniang leaned over and said, "You will be there later, I will put it."
Ling Mei responded, but she didn't think it was wrong for the girl to fly a kite. Anyway, her girl is different from other women in the boudoir.
The kite was made a bit big, and it was flattened after opening it, and the string was released. The master and servant looked around while working, making Mei look at her eyes secretly pointing not far away.
"Miss, it's Miss Ren."
When she heard it was Ren Zhenzhen, Xie Yuanniang looked over and saw that Ren Zhenzhen in a pink dress was particularly conspicuous among the women. It was not good-looking, but her timid and timid manner, which made people not want to notice.
