Chapter 231: Plan, Stay for One More Day
"Miss, are you okay?" Seeing that she almost got into trouble with her question, the mother-in-law said hurriedly and humbly, and helped Yu Jie give Qin Wanru a hand.
"I'm fine!" Qin Wanru calmed down and shook her head.
Holding Yujie's hand, he stood still and his eyes fell on the old woman standing in front of him. She was a smiling and friendly woman. Although the clothes on her body were very simple, her demeanor was not like that of an ordinary person. She couldn't help but feel sad. Be careful.
There are many dignitaries in this place in the capital. Who knows who the person you meet in front of you is.
"What's the matter with this mother-in-law?" Qin Wanru asked gently, suppressing the deep meaning in her eyes.
"Seeing that you are so young and so weak, you actually climbed up the mountain directly from there. The old lady found it really strange, so I asked you if you wanted to rest for a while." The old lady smiled.
So you have watched yourself all the way?
"I can't climb up now!" Qin Wanru wiped her face with a handkerchief and said with a sincere smile, "I just managed to climb up with just one breath!"
After such a pause, she really felt tired and couldn't lift her steps!
Seeing that Qin Wanru had no intention of hiding it, the smile on the mother-in-law's face became more and more friendly: "I wonder which family this lady comes from? I have never seen such an interesting lady before!"
"Our lady is the second lady of General Ningyuan's Mansion!" Yu Jie said proudly, puffing out her chest, with a very proud expression.
"General Ningyuan's Mansion?" The mother-in-law seemed not to remember who it was, and frowned and muttered to herself.
"Is there anything else, mother-in-law?" Qin Wanru asked with a slight smile, politely changing the subject.
"There's nothing else to do, don't you need a little more rest?" The old woman stepped aside and said with a gentle smile.
"No rest, let's walk a little longer!" Qin Wanru smiled and shook her head, then walked past the mother-in-law and moved forward without looking back. Yu Jie followed closely behind her, one master and one servant slowly. Slowly go up, although the speed is not fast, but the key is persistence, just go to the top of the mountain.
The mother-in-law standing behind them looked at Qin Wanru who walked up a few steps, nodded, turned around and walked towards the pavilion on the side.
In the pavilion, a large group of women and maids were waiting outside the pavilion. They were all respectful. Although there were many people, no sound was made.
After the mother-in-law entered the pavilion, she reported to the luxurious old lady sitting in the middle: "Old lady, she said she is the second young lady of General Ningyuan's mansion. Is there General Ningyuan in the capital? I'm sorry that I'm very clumsy, but it's true. I didn’t know there was such an adult in Beijing!”
"General Ning Yuan?" After the old lady lowered her head and tasted it carefully, her eyes suddenly lit up, "But that General Ning Yuan from Jiangzhou? Is he the one who has been rumored the most recently?"
"The old lady is talking about General Ningyuan Qin's house, which has been causing a lot of commotion recently because of the incident in Yong-Kang Bo's house?" The mother-in-law finally remembered at this time and asked in surprise.
"That's right. There can't be two General Ning Yuan in the capital!" The old lady raised her head and looked at Qin Wanru's back. After a while, the back had disappeared, "It's a lovely person." Miss, why is she from General Ningyuan’s mansion!”
The affairs of General Ningyuan's Mansion and Yong-Kangbo Mansion have been discussed in the Yungui circle in Beijing recently, and there are different opinions. But no matter what, Di Yan of Yong-Kangbo Mansion is not a good person. It seems that The eldest lady of General Ningyuan's Mansion is not very good either.
Not only was the birth mother a bad person, but she was also suspected of killing General Ning Yuan's wife. As for this incident, some people say that it was because the eldest lady of General Qin's mansion could not tolerate others, that the young lady from Ning's mansion was not allowed to live in the house. If you don't take this strategy and end up dead, the ultimate reason is that you can't "accommodate people".
"She seems to be a polite person. You should know that I am a servant, but I still call you my mother-in-law." The mother-in-law had a good impression of Qin Wanru and calmly said a good word for her.
"She has a good temperament, looks good, is from a so-so background, and is polite, but if she is not generous and has no tolerance for others like her eldest sister, something will happen when the time comes! After all, General Ning Yuan is also a What a reckless man, for the sake of his eldest daughter, he actually took the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the backyard."
The old lady shook her head in disapproval.
"Yes, what the old lady said is absolutely true!" The old lady didn't dare to say anything more and just replied with a smile.
"Let's go too. After resting for so long, this old man can't even compare to a weak little girl!" The old lady stood up, moved her body and said with a smile.
"When the old lady was young, she was in very good health. At that time, you also came here to ask questions. I remember that I walked with you for most of the journey in one breath." The mother-in-law asked people to clear the table. The tea set on the table smiled.
"What time was that time? It's been so long, no wonder you still remember it!" The old lady smiled and sighed, and said helplessly.
"In the eyes of the slave, the old lady is always healthy." The old lady flattered the old lady very well. The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "What are you talking about again? If you are really healthy, Why do I need to take medicine every day? This time, thanks to the few July Incense plants that Chen'er brought, it is really a good medicine that is hard to find!"
As the old lady talked, she stepped on the steps of the mountain path and walked up slowly. She walked very slowly, mainly looking at the scenery while walking. After not walking many steps, she rested at the pavilion on the side.
Qin Wanru was never mentioned in the subsequent conversation with her mother-in-law. Originally, this was just a chance encounter. She just listened to her grandson's advice and went up the mountain to exercise and walk a few more steps. Could it be true? You will find a very suitable young lady from aristocratic family!
There are so many daughters from aristocratic families in Beijing, so there are many to choose from. When the time comes, we will hold a banquet and invite people to choose carefully. This time, we can't make Chen'er unhappy like last time...
Qin Wanru had walked most of the way and couldn't hold on any longer, so she sat down on the rocks on the roadside to rest. She was breathing heavily and couldn't even speak. Fajie was soaked with sweat. During this section of the journey, she walked really fast, so fast that even Yujie was out of breath.
After finally breathing better, Yu Jie looked behind her in surprise and asked: "Miss, is there someone chasing you from behind? You are walking too fast, even the slaves can't keep up with you!"
Yujie felt that she admired the young lady even more. She was much thinner than herself, but she could actually climb to such a level that even she admired herself.
"That woman just now is probably not an ordinary person. She seems to be a servant of some powerful family in the capital. Such a person wouldn't come to me for no reason and ask me if I want to rest?" Qin Wanru arrived. She hadn't yet caught her breath. The woman was polite and had a bit of elegance in her behavior, which made her wary.
This is definitely not an ordinary mother-in-law!
Her own troubles have never stopped, but she doesn't want to get into trouble again. Such powerful families often have more troubles, so Qin Wanru feels that she should stay away from them.
This was why she climbed up without looking back, regardless of how hard she was panting just now.
Intuitively, the further away from this kind of person, the better!
"Miss, is there someone behind that person?" Yu Jie said as she wanted to turn around to check, but was stopped by Qin Wanru. She gasped, "Don't look back... Look, let's take a break. They You won’t climb up so quickly!”
Even Qin Wanru had to admire himself for climbing so much in one breath. Not just anyone could climb so high in one breath.
Looking up, although the mountain road is rugged, you can still see clearly. The mountains above are much less traveled than those below.
After resting for a while, Qin Wanru worked hard to climb up again. This time, she became more and more tired. It seemed that her body and mind had reached the extreme. She wanted to relax. Compared with the previous efforts, she had less strength at her feet. It was much shorter than before, but it also took less time.
After finally going up the mountain, Qin Wanru didn't have the energy to go shopping elsewhere. He went back to the incense room first, took a shower and changed clothes, then sat in front of the window to rest.
Yujie combed her freshly washed hair, and her jet-black hair was hanging down, reflecting more and more the beauty of the person than the flowers. When the wind blew through the window, the reflected colors were even stronger than the colors of the flowers.
"What did grandma say?" Qin Wanru sat in front of the window and casually asked the mother-in-law who had just returned.
"The old lady said it depends on the second young lady. If the second young lady wants to live in the mountain for a few more days, just stay for a few more days!" the mother-in-law replied.
Previously, the steward of the Qin Mansion went up the mountain to obey Qin Huaiyong's order and asked the old lady to come down, saying that everything was fine now!
"What does mother mean?" Qin Wanru thought for a while and asked.
"Mrs. Shui's intention is up to you. You have been detained in the house recently. I'm afraid that you will be detained and in a bad mood!" The old lady replied with a smile. After looking at his master, he felt very happy, and his face felt bright when he walked out.
Qin Wanru was silent for a moment. In fact, it would be fine to go back at this time, but tomorrow will be above the moon. It is a rare opportunity. She has to warn her again. She may not believe it now, but with Wen Xichi's intelligence, she should be able to I came up with this in mind.
It is actually very bad for a girl in purdah to keep in contact with someone. Taking this opportunity can be regarded as ending the previous relationship! I repay the kindness and kindness I received from my previous life.
"I told my grandmother and mother that I want to stay one more day. I haven't gone to the bamboo forest behind Huaguang Temple yet. I heard that there is a purple bamboo forest over there. I have never seen a purple bamboo forest! I heard that there are purple bamboo forests there. There are some inscriptions left by ancient sages, and I really want to see them!" Qin Wanru said very naturally.
It is true that she has never been to Zizhu Forest and Xianbei Forest, which was also her excuse for staying in the first place.
"Yes, I will answer you right now!" Qin Wanru's words were not surprising to the mother-in-law, and she responded with a smile.
Qin Wanru waved her hand, and the mother-in-law stepped back to reply to the old lady and Shui Ruolan. Before she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she almost bumped into the maid who rushed over from the other side. The maid reacted quickly and grabbed the mother-in-law. After getting up, he asked anxiously: "Is the second lady in the house?"
