Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 250: Mrs. Qian's Visit

A maid came to the courtyard to look for Feng Meir, and Feng Qinglan naturally could not hide it from her. The maid was deliberately let out by Nanny Awei!

Feng Qinglan was waiting, waiting for Feng Meir to take action so that she could remove all the useless people in the Duke's Mansion!

The next day, Qian Tongzhi's wife, Qian Li, sent a visiting card, wanting to bring her two daughters to the Li residence to meet the emperor!

Feng Qinglan looked at the visiting card and sneered. It seemed that Feng Meir was not so stupid after all. She was going to use Madam Qian to get out of the courtyard.

Unfortunately, she had the wrong idea!

Because things were almost dealt with, Gu Dalian stayed at the Duke's Mansion yesterday and had dinner with Feng Qinglan!

After taking a walk for a while, we settled down!

The house she lived in was prepared for her by Feng Qinglan a long time ago!

This place is not far from the main house. The yard is not too big, but there is a small bridge, flowing water, and a pond of lotus flowers, which is very much in line with Gu Dalian's aesthetic!

The house is all pink, the curtains and bedding are all custom-made by Lianrui, and there is also a large sofa designed by Gu Dalian in the living room!

As soon as it was dawn, Gu Dalian got up, practiced sword for a while, and then went to the lotus pond!

Looking at the pond full of lotus flowers, Gu Dalian suddenly thought of the various fish in the space. She had an idea and seeing that no one was paying attention, she stretched her hand into the water, and various fish entered the pond!

Of course, the nine-colored fish will not be released!

After washing and having breakfast, a maid came over and said:

"Miss Sun, the old lady wants you to go to the front hall. She said there are guests visiting. Please be a good host!"

Gu Dalian knew that Grandma Feng treated her as the real master here!

With the help of Yuzhu, she changed into more formal clothes. Because she was still young, she wore her hair in two buns and tied a flower bud with a coral center on one side. Then she went to the main courtyard!

Madam Qian was chatting with the old lady with her eldest and second daughters when she saw a fairy-like person walk in from outside. She was dignified and brisk in her manners. She smiled and said:

"Oh my, this must be the granddaughter adopted by the old lady, right? She is so pretty. Wenqin, Wenqi, come and meet Miss Grandson..."

The two girls called Wenqin and Wenqi stood up and saluted:

"Meet Miss Sun..."

Gu Dalian also returned the greeting and said, "My two sisters, you are welcome. Please take a seat!"

Then Feng Qinglan said, "This is the wife of our prefect Qian Tongzhi and his two legitimate daughters!"

Gu Dalian nodded to Madam Qian and said:

"Meet Madam Qian!"

Madam Qian was unhappy and had to be servile in front of the Duke's wife. She didn't expect that she recognized this granddaughter from somewhere and took herself so seriously, but she didn't even have one among the younger generations!

Despite suppressing her unhappiness, Mrs. Tie still had a smile on her face!

After some pleasantries, Mrs. Qian said:

"I heard that the Lotus Core series that has been popular in our prefecture recently was created by Miss Sun. Miss Sun is really as capable as any man!"

Since ancient times, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, businessmen have the lowest status. To bring up this kind of thing is to praise them in an apparent way but actually to belittle them!

Gu Dalian said:

"No, no, they say heroes are made by the times. I was a refugee from famine, with no food or money. I had no choice but to start farming and doing business! To be honest, I have achieved what I have today. It is true that ordinary men cannot compare to me!"

Dalian said this on purpose because she saw the disdain in the eyes of Mrs. Qian and her daughter. I was able to build an empire from scratch, what can you do?

Mrs. Qian smiled awkwardly and changed the subject:

"... Hey, didn't you say that the old lady's niece's granddaughter has been in the Duke's Mansion for a while? My daughter has met Miss Feng twice and had a very pleasant conversation with her. She has long invited my daughter to come to her mansion to meet her. I wonder..."

Before she could finish, Feng Qinglan said with a half-smile:

"Did Madam Qian bring her daughters here to chat with me today, or did she let her two daughters play with my niece?"

Mrs. Qian could smell the tension in the conversation and her scalp went numb. The old lady was usually kind to others and wouldn't lose her temper easily, but now she was showing her displeasure!

Perhaps the mistake Miss Feng made was extremely serious. She hesitated and didn't know whether she should continue.

After a moment, I thought a lot.

This Duke's Mansion has no successor, and will sooner or later fall into Feng Ziyu's hands. My husband depends on Feng Ziyu's uncle's family. If I don't help this time, according to Feng Meir's vengeful character, how can my family have a good life in the future?

I could only laugh and say:

"I came here to talk to the old lady, but there are some things that cannot be said in front of the little girl. I don't mean to be disrespectful!"

Feng Qinglan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Oh, in that case, my granddaughter is also a little girl, so let her take the two little girls for a walk in the garden of the mansion!"

Gu Dalian understood, stood up with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation:

"Please, sisters. Today, Dalian will take you around the mansion. The scenery of the Duke's Mansion is quite nice!"

Qian Wenqin is the legitimate daughter of Qian Tongzhi. She is proud and arrogant. She looks down on people like Gu Dalian who have risen to prominence. However, she has to bow her head for the sake of Madam Feng's face!

The two men smiled awkwardly, bowed to Old Madam Feng, and then retreated!

Mrs. Qian was also very good at dealing with people. Seeing that she could not remedy the situation, she quickly changed the subject and said:

"Madam, what do you think of my two daughters?"

Feng Qinglan nodded and said, "He is well-educated, handsome, not bad!"

Mrs. Qian quickly answered:

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam. My two children are only one year apart in age, one is fourteen and the other is thirteen. Although they are not very old, as parents, we always plan ahead and always want to find a good family for our children. Madam, I know a lot of families. If there is a suitable one, please help me keep an eye out for it!"

Feng Qinglan despised him in his heart. If he didn't send someone out, he would come up with such a lame excuse when he had nothing to say. He didn't expose him and just replied:

"Okay, if there's anything suitable, I'll tell you!"

Gu Dalian was strolling slowly in the garden with the two sisters!

As the saying goes, if you don't agree, don't talk too much. The two sisters looked down on Gu Dalian, their chins were raised so high that their noses could catch rainwater!

Gu Dalian was picking flowers and catching butterflies, having a lot of fun!

The two sisters at the back simply sat in the hall next to them. It was such a hot day, and if they kept running like this, they would get tanned like Bao Gong!

"Sister, how can this little bitch run so fast? No matter how well she dresses, she can't change her bad habits!"

Wen Qi curled her lips and glanced at Gu Dalian in the distance!

"Speak softly, are you afraid that people won't hear you? Don't bring trouble upon yourself!"

Wen Qin lowered her voice. Although she was full of disdain in her heart, she also knew that the fact that the Duke's wife had held a flower-viewing banquet last time and set up an array for Gu Dalian's lotus core had already explained everything!

At this moment, a maid came hurriedly and said:

"My two young ladies, my young lady has been waiting for you for a long time and didn't see you. I asked this servant to come and urge you!"

Wen Qin looked up and saw that she had seen this maid once before:

"Go back and tell your young lady that we are trying to find a solution!"
