My wife is fierce in Canada
After the two sisters finished their meal, San Niang finally bid farewell and left. Yang Lan also prepared to pack up, tomorrow she had to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager, and bring all the gifts she had sent, as well as gifts for Emperor Shu's uncle and Empress Niangniang, and a few princesses with whom she got along well.
Just after receiving a batch of gifts, Bi Qing walked in wearing a pink armor, gave a gentle salute and replied with a clever smile: "Master, Miss Biao has arrived. Shall I let her in?"
Her eyes and eyebrows had a few more points of clear and charming beauty, to say that Bi Qing was the most beautiful among the four big sisters, with a gentle and easy-going temperament, also willing to yield to her sisters, her relationships were much better than Bi Yun, Bi Yue and Bi Lian.
Yang Lan put down what was in her hand, slightly stunned for a moment, and then shook her head and smiled: "She really came! Please let her in!"
Biqing bowed and smiled as she backed away.
Li Qianxue wore a yellow right-shoulder oblique-collared satin robe with embroidered plum blossoms, scattered orchid sleeves, and sleeve mouths embroidered with a few sprigs of orchids. A white skirt, the hem of which was rolled up with orchid flowers, and a pair of red embroidered shoes with pearls, showed several distinct comings.
Yang Lan raised her head and smiled slightly at Li Qianxue, discovering that she was wearing a gold-inlaid white jade plum blossom hairpin and a pair of old silver-inlaid pearl hairpins, everywhere showing off her nobility.
Li Qianxue didn't wait for Yang Lan's invitation and directly sat down on the large kang by the window, leaning back casually as if she were in her own home. She gave a familiar command to Biqing: "Biqing, would you trouble yourself to pour me a cup of white tea? It's been ages since I've seen Sixth Sister. My sister and I need to have a good chat!"
Biqing slightly stunned, immediately bowed and replied: "I'll go get a cup of tea for Miss Biao, the third sister-in-law just came and praised our county lord's white tea! Coincidentally, Miss Biao arrived, it can be seen that she is a lucky person. Our county lord just said to let me pack a few packages and send them to each house's aunt and sisters to taste her craftsmanship!"
Li Qianxue's mouth slightly curved, seemingly smiling yet mocking, "That's my good fortune, if I didn't come, Sixth Sister would have forgotten about me, right? You don't miss me, but I've been missing you, Little Sister! So I had to take the initiative to come and stir up trouble!" After finishing speaking, her gaze was clear and bright as she stared at Yang Shan, her pale chin slightly raised, with a hint of being ready for a confrontation.
Yang Lan furrowed her brow slightly, smiled quickly and turned to Bi Qing saying: "What's with all the nonsense you're spouting, I've never seen you talk so much before! Hurry up and go pour a cup of tea for my sister, let her taste my skills!"
"Biqing responded lightly with a 'yes' and quickly walked out."
Li Qianxue glanced at Biqing's back, revealing a hint of disdain. She turned her head and smiled again, holding Yang Lan's hand affectionately. "Good sister, you've been gone for over two years, I almost died! You're so lucky to be able to go out and have fun, unlike us who still have to guard the female quarters and can't even step out!"
Yang Lan felt somewhat displeased, what does this mean. Come to find me? What is meant by "guarding the female and not letting her out of the door"? Am I supposed to be the one who doesn't follow the rules? Even if I don't follow the rules, it's not up to you to say so, is it? Who do you think you are? My parents and older brother are all alive, is it your turn to discipline me?
She quietly withdrew her hand, her attitude also cooled down a lot, the smile on her face was retracted, and her eyes were slightly cold. "Sister-in-law should be careful with your words, I went to learn from Master Minghui, this is what the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's uncle personally agreed upon. My parents also agree, my brother accompanied me to take care of me, and we didn't violate any rules for women, so sister-in-law shouldn't say things that might be misunderstood!"
Her delicate face also turned stern, with a clear expression of displeasure. Her body sat upright, with an air of dignified and unapproachable elegance.
Li Qianxue burst out laughing and stretched out her hand to pinch her nose, but was suddenly waved away by Yang Lan, and a loud slapping sound echoed through the room.
Yang Lan's face was cold and stern, she slapped away Li Qianxue's hand that was reaching out to her face. Before Li Qianxue could react, Yang Lan hastily apologized: "Cousin, are you okay? Look at you, why aren't you more careful? It's also my fault for overreacting, I've never liked it when people touch my face, but cousin has always been magnanimous and tolerant, everyone in the household knows that, so cousin won't blame me, right?"
Since you want to play along, I'll play with you. Who can't pretend? I, Yang Lan, may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to pretending, no one can beat me!
Li Qianxue covered her bright red right hand, her face pale and tearful, but she heard Yang Lan's last words, and forcibly held back her tears. She carefully swept the surroundings with the corner of her eye, only to find that there was no one in the room. Even if she cried, it would be pointless, for no one would see her!
With a reluctant heart, she swallowed back her tears and put on an innocent face to plead, "Sixth sister, I was just joking with you, why did you react so big? You scared me! Why are you distant from me as soon as you come back? What have I done wrong to offend Sixth sister, that you're not close to me anymore?" Her clear autumn water-like eyes were filled with accusation and innocence.
Yang Lan sneered inwardly, but her face remained calm with a gentle smile. "What are you talking about, sister? I just got back and haven't had time yet. Tomorrow I still need to go to the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager and uncle. In a few days, I'll also have to visit my aunt and other relatives to offer gifts. It's been busy lately, so if there's anything I've neglected, please don't blame me, sister!" Her expression was very serious as she stared at Li Xiangxue, not blinking even once, as if daring her not to agree.
Li Qianxue snorted, her face slightly gloomy, and dryly smiled, "How come Biqing takes so long to pour a cup of tea! I'm parched!"
Yang Lan did not pursue the matter further, but instead shouted loudly, "Where's the person? Pouring tea and then going off to who-knows-where, I think your skin should be tight with anxiety!" Her face carried a hint of dignified and noble thin anger.
Bi Qing lifted the curtain and walked in, carrying a black lacquered wooden tea tray with cloud patterns. On the tray were two small teacups with lotus flower designs, placed side by side. She gently put down the teacups and then complained: "Master is being unfair to me! This tea needs boiling water to bring out its flavor! Earlier, the water in the tea stove ran out, so I had to wait for a little while!"
Li Qianxue picked up her tea and slowly took a small sip, then hastily praised: "It's really good tea! Your craftsmanship is pretty good too, little sister!"
Yang Lan nodded reluctantly, holding up a small face, "Mm, be more careful next time, go down now!"
Biqing retreated with a humble attitude, not even daring to breathe loudly, fearing that he would again offend the superior.
Li Qianxue seemed to have run out of topics, and Yang Lan didn't take the initiative to talk either. The atmosphere suddenly became cold and a bit awkward, and it wasn't until after a while that she moved her body slightly and asked tentatively: "I heard that Princess Ping'an was going to hold a flower appreciation banquet a few days ago! I don't know if you've received an invitation?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation and longing, with a hint of urgency.
Yang Lan sneered coldly, but revealed a hint of confusion, "I just got back home, how could I have received the post?! Even if I had, I wouldn't have planned to go anyway. These past few days my body has been feeling somewhat weak, and I was thinking of resting well for a few more days before doing anything else!"
A careless remark had blocked Li Qianxue's thoughts, making her somewhat annoyed. For a moment, she couldn't hold back the fire and blurted out: "Grandma told me to come find you. She wants you to take us to the banquet to have some fun, it's getting hot and we should be moving around."
Yang Lan's anger surged up, how dare you use the old lady to pressure me? Do you think I'll be forced to surrender just like that? How ridiculous!
Yang Lan tilted her head, looking puzzled. "I don't have any posts, how can I take you out? Besides, I'm the younger sister, where's the logic in a younger sister taking an older sister out? It's unheard of! I still need someone to lead me out myself, how dare I say I'll lead my sisters? Cousin, please don't say such things again, it will ruin our reputation if it gets out! This matter is beyond my ability, I just got home and the chair isn't even warm yet! Let's rest for two days before talking about it again!"
Li Qianxue couldn't help but feel a bit stifled, and at her young age, she couldn't hide the expression on her face. Her eyes revealed a hint of resentment, feeling that staying any longer would be pointless. She pushed away her tea cup and said angrily: "Since it's like this, I'll just tell my grandmother the truth, I won't disturb Sixth Sister anymore, I'm leaving first!" After finishing speaking, she lifted her chin in anger and stormed out, slamming the curtain behind her.
"Slow down, sister! Come and play often!" Yang Lan's cheerful voice floated around the yard.
After Li Qianxue left, Yang Lan shouted: "Bi Qing, take this teacup down and wash it well. From now on, keep it for my cousin and don't bring it out to entertain guests again." After finishing speaking, she looked at the teacup with a regretful expression.
Lin's mother and Yue's mother also followed behind them into the house. Yue's mother was holding a bowl of silver ear lotus seed lily soup, "Miss, have a bowl of silver ear soup to moisten your throat! What did that cousin come for? Why did she look so resentful when she left? Didn't you two have a pleasant conversation?"
Yue's mother was puzzled. Weren't they still very happy at noon with San Guniang? How come they hung their faces in the afternoon?
Lin's aunt knew more about the situation than Yue's aunt, and she pushed her with a smile. "Old sister, don't mention it, that one is really not worth mentioning, with a small family air, holding chicken feathers as a token of authority, making everyone in the mansion laugh!"
Mrs. Yue nodded slightly, she had always only taken care of Yang Lan's food and body, not the affairs of the courtyard, and was also relatively gentle and quiet, but in her heart, she was very clear-headed, Lin Mrs. had worked with her for many years and understood her temperament well, so she immediately understood this much.
She then tensely said: "That young lady shouldn't get too close to her, I think that child has a gloomy aura about her? It doesn't seem quite right to me, you should be more careful!" Her round face showed kindness and tension.
Yang Lan's tense face added a few more relaxed and warm smiles, "Don't worry, I wouldn't be happy to play with her like this! She came to pry into my news and intimidate me, but she didn't succeed and left with a sullen face!"
Yue's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, what other people's children are like is none of her business! As long as the child she raised is fine, that's all that matters. "No, wait until Master comes back and I'll have to tell him about it, or else it will be troublesome!" She said with a serious face, muttering to herself with her head down.
