320. If you keep to yourself, you will lose your beauty and your life.

After Beihou sent two apricot saplings and planted them, Qi Houru ordered people to clear out an extra piece of land and build a small pavilion. He named it Xingyu Pavilion. At first glance, it was what a filial son did to please his mother.

I don't care about the quality of the name of the pavilion.

"Princess Princess."

Qi Minglan stood outside the pavilion facing the three masters and servants of Qi Mingluan. She was dressed in a water skirt that made her elegant and elegant. Her manners were not bad at all. Her appearance was slightly like that of Aunt Xiao, not too bright and attractive. Her facial features were straight and her complexion was fair.

That's all.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Third Sister out, and I'm quite estranged. I'm still used to hearing Third Sister call me Seven Sisters." Qi Mingluan smiled faintly, and took the initiative to go forward and help Qi Minglan's hand. When they stood face to face, they realized that Fourteen

The 20-year-old Qi Minglan was much taller than herself and felt depressed again.

"It was the third sister who made a mistake. Mother just punished her by shutting herself up and thinking about her mistakes, which made Minglan very uneasy." Qi Minglan was not pretentious. She took the initiative to invite Qi Mingluan to come over for a gathering. Her attitude was somewhat humble as a concubine to her legitimate daughter.

Be respectful, too much will be counterproductive.

"How is Aunt Xiao? Has Third Sister gone to see her?" She and Qi Minglan walked hand in hand to the Xingyu Pavilion. Tea-making tools were already prepared on the small stone table. Qi Minglan stood on one side of the stone table, while Qi Mingluan sat on the other side.

On the other side, he asked Xiao Qiao to take the tea leaves and pass them to Qi Minglan.

"I wanted to take a look, but my aunt was invited to the front hall by my mother early in the morning, so I couldn't see her." Qi Minglan cleaned her hands, then carefully opened the tea bag and fiddled with the tea set bit by bit.

Nvhong embroidery is something that Aunt Xiao taught her since she was a child. In the past two years, after Jingmeng Garden has developed and grown, Qi Minglan has become interested in how to make tea. Qi Mingluan thinks this is a good thing and is better than staying in the room.

Holding an embroidery needle in the house hurts his eyesight, so in addition to letting Da Qiao make a set of tea sets with his own hands, he also brings some tea leaves to Qi Minglan when Feng Zhai has new tea.

"There seems to be a guest in the front hall." Looking at the tea cup, tea leaves, and tea in Qi Minglan's hand, Qi Mingluan enjoyed it. It was not that she knew much about tea herself, but that she was trying to figure out the tea leaves from her understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

That’s all, everyone has different tastes and their evaluation of tea is good or bad.

It will be different. In fact, half of the large number of flower arrangements in Jingmeng Garden are just gimmicks. Guests who come to drink tea are given various types of tea sets with tea leaves, which seems to let them choose the so-called most suitable.

The combination is actually just to satisfy their vanity mentality.

"They are from the Shen family. My father, mother and aunt were all talking together there." When mentioning the Shen family, Qi Minglan's expression was still calm.

"The Shen family has never been heard of in the capital." Qi Minglan tasted the first cup of tea himself, and the second cup was handed to Qi Mingluan. He pinched the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger, smelling the fragrance of tea, and was not in a hurry.

Go and taste it. "Third sister, have you ever heard about the Shen family? But does Aunt Xiao know her from her mother's family? Why do you want Aunt Xiao to go over and talk with her?"

He pretended not to know anything and asked. Being disturbed by various things, Qi Mingluan never had time to find out the details of the so-called Shen family who opened the bank. Beihou Mutong was not reliable either.

No movement was seen.

"Auntie said that the Shen family came to propose marriage." There was a blush on her fair face. Qi Minglan temporarily stopped what she was doing and sipped the tea together, "In a few days, we will

I will no longer have such leisurely time, and I don’t know how difficult it will be to meet Qimei."

"Third sister, is the Shen family the mother-in-law found for you, third sister?" Qi Mingluan continued to pretend to be confused. It was rare that she could talk to Qi Minglan more. She also wanted to hear what Qi Minglan's true temperament was like.

"As a concubine, I am not as good as the second sister as the eldest daughter of the concubine, and I am not as good as the seventh sister as your direct descendant. Aunt Xiao has been teaching me these things since I was a child." Qi Minglan is both clear and confused about her future. This is an inevitable decision for her.

But she didn't know how to take this road.

"Ever since my mother told my aunt, my aunt has asked someone to check the Shen family. The news she got made her very uneasy - I heard this accidentally, and my aunt didn't want me to know." Today.

Qi Minglan was very talkative, "Then the Shen family runs a bank, its scale is not large, and its family property base is also small."

Qi Minglan was thinking about what she should say to make the seventh sister in front of her understand. She didn't know why she wanted to say a lot of things to the youngest sister that she didn't understand. Maybe Aunt Xiao was not here, maybe she was right.

Xu's awe as the mistress, or perhaps the sixth sister Qi Mingyue is not as sensible and intelligent as Qi Mingluan.

"What's the point? The third sister is the third young lady of the Qi family. Regardless of whether she is a concubine or not, my mother will not neglect her. The dowry must be thick. If not, there is still the seventh sister and I will add to the dowry for the third sister.

"Qi Mingluan also knows some of these things. If his family property is just a small amount,

These are really not big problems. As the saying goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. If you go to your husband's house with a lot of dowry, you can feel more confident. What you need to do

All you need to do is take good care of your own part.

"Seventh sister is kind to third sister, and third sister will always remember it." Qi Minglan smiled elegantly, raised her head and then lowered it, "From what my aunt and aunt said, having less family property is not a big deal, it's more like

Things in the Shen family are a bit complicated. Mr. Shen has many concubines and children. I'm afraid my temperament is not suitable for him."

After going around in circles, Qi Mingluan still didn't quite understand the meaning of Qi Minglan's words. Should she marry Mr. Shen or marry one of Mr. Shen's sons? She actually ignored how old Mr. Shen was this time.

Come on, the problems you face when you are a step-in-law or the youngest concubine are different from those when you are a daughter-in-law.

"So Aunt Xiao once went to tell her mother about the third sister, right?" That night Aunt Xiao came outside her embroidery building. Maybe it was the same thing. She didn't want her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, to be married into something like that.

People are also excusable.

However, there seemed to be something wrong with the order. Qi Mingluan clearly remembered that it was Qi Minglan who made some mistake first, Aunt Xiao's plea for mercy later, and it was finally her mother's decision to marry Qi Minglan to that Shen family.

"My mother is pregnant. I really shouldn't have disturbed my mother's rest. Fortunately, my father didn't blame her." When talking about Aunt Xiao, there was no condescension in Qi Minglan's tone, which Qi Mingluan appreciated very much.

In this place, one would not deliberately please the mistress of the house for the sake of superficial status, while turning a blind eye to one's biological aunt.

"Last night, my mother sent me a message after dinner." While Qi Mingluan was thinking about his thoughts, Qi Minglan continued, "My mother only told me one sentence - in the future, if I stay on my own terms, my beauty will be miserable.
