In late spring, the wind is warm.

An Ning asked people to set up a rocking chair in the courtyard.

She lay in a rocking chair and watched the pomegranate blossoms bloom in the courtyard.

Not far from her, a woman with a bewitching figure and a particularly pure face stood stiffly, quietly looking at An Ning with some fear.

An Ning smiled: "Don't be afraid. ”

The woman blessed slightly: "Ruyan has seen his wife." ”

An Ning nodded, stood up holding the girl's hand, and circled around Ruyan twice: "It's not bad, but the name Ruyan can't be used anymore, and the smell of wind and dust is too much." ”

Ruyan obediently responded: "What Mrs. said is true." ”

An Ning thought for a while: "Let's call it Ruyu." ”

"Mrs. Xie is famous. ”

Ruyu is really well-behaved and looks particularly supple.

An Ning was even more satisfied: "We don't have any aunts in the house, let alone a room, but I'm old now, and I don't want to serve the master, so I naturally have to pick a good one for him." ”

Ruyu lowered her head, doubting in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask.

An Ning raised Ruyu's chin and looked at her carefully from head to toe: "In the future, you will be the daughter of the Xiucai family in the village, because your father was seriously ill and sold the family property, and now your father has died and has no money to bury him, so he has to sell his body to bury his father, do you understand?"

Ruyu agreed in a low voice.

An Ning closed her eyelids slightly: "As long as you listen to my words and serve the master well, if you are willing to be a good citizen in the future, I will let you go of your deed, if you are willing to stay in the mansion, I will naturally let you follow me to support the elderly, you think it's good." ”

Ruyu didn't want to have such a good thing, so she immediately knelt down and gave An Ning a snort: "The concubine obeys his wife's orders for everything." ”

Ruyu is a smart and smart person.

Over the years, she has also seen many sisters in the building, but in the end there was no good result.

She originally wanted to save money to redeem herself, find a small mountain village to buy a few acres of land in the future, and then buy and raise two children to live a quiet life, but she didn't want to be bought.

Ruyu was still thinking about whether it would be a benefactor who bought her, and how did she know that she would see An Ning, a noble lady.

She is very good at observing her face, and she can also see that An Ning has no friendship with the lord in this mansion, and she can see that what An Ning said is not lying to her, so she is naturally happy.

In this way, the money she had saved earlier would be saved, and she would not have to spend so much money to redeem herself, and if she was obedient, she might be able to catch up with the prefect's wife.

Even if she is the sister in the building, she also knows that the prefect's wife is the girl of the Ye family, and this identity is valuable enough.

An Ning smiled and helped Ruyu up: "Don't be afraid, I have always been a kind person, and I am not intolerant of people, as long as you do what I say, I will definitely keep you safe." ”

"Good. ”

Ruyu gritted her teeth, and said in her heart that she would do something hurtful to heaven and reason, as long as she could save her life.

An Ning saw what she was thinking, so she assured her: "I will never let you harm people's lives, let alone hurt you and reason, just let you come up with means to serve the master well." ”

Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief: "The slave and maid are all the only ones who look forward to the horse." ”

An Ning smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Luzhu, you take Miss Ruyu to settle first." ”

After Ruyu left, An Ning returned to the house and sat at the desk to practice writing.

She thought that it wouldn't be long before she could solve the woman Zhou Zhenniang.

It is not that tranquility cannot tolerate people, and they want to harm people's lives.

Zhou Zhenniang hurt Ye Anning in her previous life, if she hadn't instigated, Qi Rui and Qi Wenwei would not have killed Qi Wenshao.

When Ye Anning was locked up in the temple, Zhou Zhenniang humiliated her several times, and led people to beat Ye Anning.

At that time, Ye Anning endured it for both Qi Wenshao and Qi Wenjuan, and it was not until later that the news of Qi Wenshao's death was also told to her by Zhou Zhenniang.

Thinking of this, An Ning sneered, such a vicious person would be solved as soon as possible.

That night, when An Ning and Qi Rui were eating, Ruyu was serving on the side.

Qi Rui was stunned for a moment when he saw Ruyu: "Why haven't you seen this girl before?"

An Ning smiled and added food to him: "I just bought it, the master naturally hasn't seen it, speaking of this girl is also pitiful, she was a good lady of the Xiucai family, but she ended up selling herself to bury her father, I see that she can't live a life and wants to help one or two, but this girl is not willing to ask for my money in vain, so she has to say something to come back and serve me." ”

Ruyu also showed a wry smile at the right time, her eyes were full of sadness, and she looked more and more pitiful.

Qi Rui was a little moved when he saw her like this.

An Ning pushed again: "It just so happens that there are really too few people in our house, and there is no one to serve the master, and I really feel sorry for the master, so it is better to ask Ruyu to accompany the master in the future. ”

"Nonsense. ”

Qi Rui threw his chopsticks at the moment and looked at An Ning angrily.

Ruyu was startled and almost spilled the soup.

She stood trembling to the side, her little face pale.

An Ning glanced at Qi Rui: "The master is too, look at the little girl who is scared." ”

She comforted Ruyu and said to Qi Rui: "I know the master's thoughts, and I want to treat me wholeheartedly, but I am not intolerant of people, and I also want our house to be lively, even if the master is all for me, please have mercy on us." ”

An Ning glanced at Ruyu.

Ruyu immediately knelt on the ground and gave Qi Rui a snort: "The slave and maid must serve the master well, so as to repay the wife's great kindness, and ask the master to take pity on the slave and maid and leave the slave and maid." ”

Qi Rui looked down at Ruyu.

I saw that she was in excellent shape, wearing a light blue dress, kneeling there to expose a tender neck, and the whole person was like a little grass beaten by the wind and rain, becoming more and more pitiful and cute.

After a while, Qi Ruifang said, "You get up." ”

Ruyu rejoiced in her heart and stood up.

An Ning smiled: "Silly girl, serve the master well." ”

After a meal, Qi Rui and Ruyu were put together, and after Ruyu served Qi Rui to her courtyard, An Ning raised her eyebrows, with frost in her eyes.

With Ruyu, tranquility saves a lot of trouble.

Ruyu's means are very good, and she hooks Qi Rui's soul with all kinds of tricks.

After that, Mr. Sun, who was arranged by An Ning, went in and out of the house and was responsible for teaching Qi Wenwei.

This Mr. Sun had been a jinshi, and when he offended someone, he was not sent to an official, but returned to his hometown in anger.

His family was not wealthy, and when he came back, he made a living with others.

He had a good reputation, and many people were willing to ask him to teach their children and grandchildren.

It's just that An Ning knows that Mr. Sun is just a good name, but in fact he is a person with no connotation, he seems to be a gentleman, but in fact he is stubborn, and he is very rigid when teaching students.

Moreover, Mr. Sun is timid, and does not dare to be particularly strict with his students, and when he encounters stubborn students, he will find ways to coax students to play and let them say good things about him.

But he has a good reputation, and as soon as An Ning and Qi Rui said that it was him, Qi Rui agreed.

Mr. Sun entered the house and taught Qi Wenwei a few lessons, and when Qi Rui asked Qi Wenwei, Qi Wenwei said that Mr. taught well, better than An Ning's teaching.

Qi Rui thought that in the end, it was a Jinshi, and it was really different, not comparable to a woman's family.

He regretted that he didn't invite Mr. Sun into the house earlier.
