Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C175
In fact, Madame Qin had understood Madame SHen’s intentions ever since she had received the Ye Family invitation card and Madame SHen’s cryptic letter.
Speaking of this little girl, Jin Lan, Madame Qin was extremely fond of her. Adding the fact that she had a good relationship with Madame SHen, she had naturally had the same thoughts before. However, today, news was faintly transmitted from the side of the family, whether it was Meng Zhanxuan or Meng Ruhan, both of them were not allowed to be easily betrothed to each other.
Madame Qin sighed, her eyes looking at the hopeful Madame SHen apologetically. “If I recall correctly, Lan Er is only ten years old today, isn’t it too early to discuss marriage?”
Originally, Madame SHen had an 80% confidence in this matter. After all, Ye Lin was currently a saint with many family members and the two families were old friends. She and Madame Qin were the best, both of them knew each other well, so there was no marriage more suitable than this.
However, for her daughter, she could only barely maintain the expression on her face, and said softly: “Lan Er is indeed still young, but she landed at the beginning of February, in half a year, she will be eleven. We can set a marriage, and we’ll get married at that time, and then …”
“Sister Rong.” The Madame Qin laughed bitterly and interrupted the Madame SHen’s words, “It’s not that I don’t want to, I really like that girl Lan Er, but…” Madame Qin stopped talking. There were some things that could not be said easily.
However, she touched upon the Madame SHen’s mournful eyes and stopped hiding it. She grinded her teeth and said: “Since it’s like this, I won’t hide it from you. Since Xuan’er fell victim to a flower scouring, I have sent a letter to the capital, saying that it’s related to Xuan’er’s marriage, so my husband and I do not need to worry.”
After hearing these words, the Madame SHen couldn’t help but be unwilling to give up. She sat on the soft couch in a daze and muttered: “Then, then what about my Lan Er?”
Madame Qin was puzzled, “Lan Er, what’s wrong?”
Madame SHen was dejected. She held the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then told Yue Yang everything that had happened in the capital. In the end, she couldn’t help but cry, “Sister Feng, I was forced to do this.”
“Foolish!” After the Madame Qin listened carefully, she said resentfully, “If you don’t tell me, but Master Ye has reached the Sacred Heart, even if the ancestor of your family had any thoughts, he wouldn’t dare to go and harm Lan Er so blatantly. But if you, who is in such a rush to get medical treatment, if by accident or accident, really destroy Lan Er’s entire life, wouldn’t you?”
Madame SHen choked with emotions a few times before saying, “That’s why I came here to look for big sister Lan today. I also thought that with Zhan Xuan’s good temper and your backing, Lan Er wouldn’t be wronged in the future. In this way, even if I were to close my eyes one day, I will be able to calm my mind. ”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Madame Qin sighed helplessly, and pulled Madame SHen’s hand as she earnestly advised: “Remember this, the only person in this world that can make Lan Er depend on is you, her mother. You and I both know what kind of family Ye Family is, without you, there will be another Madam Ye in the future, and Lan Er will call other women her mother, but you are the only one. If you really want to be good for Lan Er, then you have to take good care of yourself. You don’t need to live for a long time to live a hundred years, at least you have to live for a few years. ”
Madame Qin’s words were like a blow to her head, causing Madame SHen to shiver in fear. For a long time, she had only thought of arranging everything for Jin Lan. Even if she was unlucky, Jin Lan would not suffer in the future. Little did he know that a girl without her parents’ support would be able to marry her husband no matter how good his marriage was. Sooner or later, there would be a time when he would feel cold and self-aware.
Even if it was Meng Family, a year or two would be alright, but what about ten years, or even twenty years later? Although the friendship between her and the Madame Qin was deep, it was not comparable to the benefits from Meng Family!
When Madame Qin saw that Madame SHen’s gaze had regained her clarity, she knew that she had thought through it, and was thinking about the matters that she did not deal with in the house, so she did not stay any longer, “I still have some matters in the house, I’m afraid that I have to rush back. When are you going to set a date for our departure?
Madame SHen nodded. “If that’s the case, I won’t stay for sister Lan anymore.” After she finished speaking, she personally sent Madame Qin out, and only returned to the Shuixie Pavilion after she had gotten on the carriage and left the Ye Mansion gate.
Jin Lan had been paying attention to the movement of the Shuixie Pavilion. When Madame Qin left, she entered the house immediately, and when she saw Madame SHen returning, she immediately went to welcome him. “Mother, Aunt left?”
The Madame SHen rubbed Jin Lan’s temples and said softly: “I said that the mansion is busy, so I can’t stay for long.”
Although Jin Lan said that, his eyes was carefully observing Madame SHen.
The jade hairpin powder on his face was obviously thick and uneven. Although the corners of his eyes were dry, it still looked a little red and swollen …
Mother must have cried!
In other words, the matter had not been settled yet.
Jin Lan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was relaxed, but it was mixed with a trace of disappointment and loss.
Although she was not familiar with Meng Zhanxuan, her Meng Family was still a rare good fate. Compared to being tricked by the Old Ancestor in the capital, she would rather choose her Meng Family.
As for their relationship …
The corners of Jin Lan’s lips curved up in a self-deprecating smile. She had long given up any extravagant hopes and fantasies about the relationship between a man and a woman.
She would never let her past experiences repeat themselves!
As he thought about this, an ordinary face and a pair of soul-stirring eyes unknowingly appeared in his mind.
Jin Lan was slightly startled. Why did he think of that person?
She shook her head as if she wanted to throw out the figure in her mind. However, instead of disappearing, the figure became even more distinct.
Madame SHen was shocked by Jin Lan’s sudden action, “What? Is Lan Er troubled? ”
“Ah?” “No, it’s nothing.” Jin Lan came back to reality and looked at Madame SHen’s probing gaze. He felt weak in his heart and quickly smiled, “Mother, in two days time it will be afternoon, I wonder how is the bag of wheat going?”
As expected, Madame SHen’s attention was diverted away from Jin Lan and did not let go, “I have already given the orders, but it’s always been like this every year, there’s nothing new to see.
Jin Lan rolled his eyes. He had an idea in his mind, “Speaking of which, didn’t mother make some fruits and fresh flowers during the middle of last autumn? Since this corn can be stuffed with bean paste, it should be able to be filled with flowers just like the monthly team. ”
After saying that, she held onto Madame SHen’s hand and gently shook it, acting spoiled as she said, “Mother, why don’t you make some and try it? If it’s delicious, we can change the taste.”
With Jin Lan’s soft voice acting coquettishly, the last bit of gloom in Madame SHen’s heart immediately dissipated. He smiled and replied: “Okay, okay, we’ll do as you say.
Jin Lan stopped and turned around with a chuckle.
Mama Zhu, Mama Tang, Hui Xiu and the rest who were at the side, could not help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw this.
The room was suddenly filled with happiness.
Jin Lan laughed for a while, as if he had thought of something, then he reached out his hand to brush the hair in front of his forehead that had become a little messy, and said in a delicate voice, “Mother, I heard that there will be a Dragon Boat competition at the West Lake on the afternoon of the Dragon Boat Festival. When that time comes, mother will bring me to see the show, will you?”
When the Dragon Boat Competition was mentioned, the smiling expression on Madame SHen’s face darkened immediately, and some of the smiles even turned pale.
Jin Lan thought that this suggestion wouldn’t be rejected, but he didn’t expect that Madame SHen would have such an anxious look on her face. He couldn’t help but ask: “Mother, what’s wrong?”
The Madame SHen shook her head, hesitated for a while, then said: “At that time, the Slimming West Lake will be filled with a sea of people, it is easy for a mistake to occur.”
Jin Lan immediately understood when he heard this.
Her mother was most likely thinking of the disaster of the Mid-Autumn Night last year.
She gently held Madame SHen’s hand, “The Dragon Boat Competition is not like the Flower Lantern Association, it is held at noon. However, if mother is worried, then forget it.
Madame SHen looked at Jin Lan’s smiling face. Even though she said that, the disappointment in her eyes did not escape her eyes.
If nothing unexpected happened, then this should be the last afternoon of the Yangzhou. If he wanted to see it in the future, he probably wouldn’t have much of a chance.
Lan Er had never seen such a grand occasion in her entire life.
Thinking about it this way, the Madame SHen’s heart softened. She patted Jin Lan’s hands and gently said: “Since Lan Er wants to see, then let’s go over there!”
Even though he said that, the Madame SHen still specially arranged for people to go to the Immortal Assembling Pavilion beside the Slimes Lake to take a seat.
The Immortal Assembling Pavilion was the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou Palace. Not only were the dishes both delicious, they were also located at the edge of the West Lake. As long as one could get a glimpse of them, regardless of whether they were the long embankments, the spring willow, the lotus blossoms, or the misty rain from the four bridges, all of them could be seen, not to mention the Dragon Boat Competition.
Before they even reached the afternoon of the next day, every single mansion had already booked up the private rooms of the Immortal Assembling Pavilion, and it was only because Madame SHen took Ye Lin’s name card that they were able to smoothly get their hands on one of the private rooms.
After Ye Lin found out about this, he looked at Madame SHen’s face, and did not object to it. Furthermore, he agreed to the banquet held at noon with his colleagues at the Immortal Assembling Pavilion, thus he waved his hand and agreed.
However, Old Madame Ye was still a little unhappy in her heart, so she went to find Madame SHen and pointed at Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian, asking her to bring them along.
Madame SHen was extremely unwilling, but she still agreed with a smile, to prevent the Old Granny from thinking of other things to mess up the situation.
Huan River May levee flow, the city will be floating rainbow boat.
After washing his hair and washing them, he changed into a lotus root color and sowed flowers. He wore a yellow brocade dress, and the fresh color made Jin Lan appear slim and graceful, looking like a willow bud that had just sprouted in early spring.
In order to make the trip convenient, Mama Tang only gave Jin Lan a simple hanging bun. However, it was tied with a headband decorated with pearls, and two fingernail-sized pink peach blossoms.
Not only was Jin Lan’s attire simple, he didn’t even have much jewelry. On his white wrist, he only wore his usual Jade Seal Stone buddhist bracelet.
first went out to visit his friends, and Madame SHen brought Jin Lan and the rest to watch the Dragon Boat Competition.
When Ye Mansion’s carriage arrived at the Immortal Assembling Pavilion, there were already many commoners playing on the shore. The waiter smiled and invited Jin Lan and the others into the reserved rooms upstairs, then they went to the Dragon Gorge and several plates of exquisite pastries.
In the private room, there were two yellow zhennan wood square tables, both under the windows. The windows were already open, and were facing the lake.
Madame SHen was seated at the same table as Jin Lan, so Ye Jinwei and Ye Jinxian were naturally seated at the other table.
Jin Lan was using his hands to support his lower jaw as he looked out the window with interest at the scenery and the crowd passing by. Since they were in a private room, there was no need to bring along Drapery Cap s.
Suddenly, her gaze froze.
In the crowd at the Immortal Assembling Pavilion, a green figure slowly walked over.
He wore an extremely ordinary green robe and a bamboo hat. He was no different from the people around him.
However, Jin Lan recognized him.
In that instant, it was as if a rabbit was hidden in her chest.
Suddenly, the green-robed man raised his head. His pair of cold eyes pierced through the crowd as he stared at the woman from the Immortal Assembling Pavilion.
