CHAPTER XIII

On this day, Ye Purlin was on duty, and he specially pushed off the entertainment and returned home early.

The old lady told him about the day, but Ye Ling saw it more thoroughly than the old lady, and persuaded her: "We all know Runrun's personality, and it is not a disadvantage for children to be upright." There is no need to temper her true temperament because of these. ”

The old lady said: "I feel sorry for our Runrun, and there is no mother outside to pave the way for her." I'm old and don't know how long I can last. ”

"Why did you say such a thing all of a sudden?" Ye purlin said, but the old lady's worries are not unreasonable, when the girls are older, they all follow their mothers to go out and walk around, attend some scenes, and they can grow up faster, which is also very beneficial to future marriages.

The lord of Jing'an County sat in the position of his wife, the mother-in-law was old, and the sister-in-law was not on the stage, and the family affairs of the girls in the house were not mainly in her hands. Even though the old lady and Ye Ling prefer Runrun, no one helps her come forward, and it is not so easy to want a good family affair.

Of course, the old lady just told her son these words, and to the outside world, it was not revealed at all.

After Runrun came back, Lu Qinglan also pulled her and asked her for a long time.

Runrun is not particularly capable in terms of human relations, but she is not a stupid child, and she told her aunt everything that happened in the palace.

Although Lu Qinglan has never seen the scene in the palace, she is indeed very capable in terms of human feelings. She knew that Runrun was a rising bird, and she might have been hated by the girl named Rulan. And the other little girls, who are unwilling to get involved in these things, may avoid her in the future.

It's a shame that they are still bent on making a lot of new friends, and I'm afraid that they will be disappointed.

Runrun didn't understand her aunt's melancholy, she had almost forgotten the unpleasantness in the palace, and was bent on when Ruyi would be able to come to the door as a guest.

Lu Qinglan later went to ask the old lady, only to know that the 'Ruyi' in Runrun's mouth was the girl from the Chengguo Mansion. The niece of the current queen. However, what makes her famous in the circle of nobles in the capital is not her identity, but her pungent and powerful temperament. I heard that she got angry, what do you care about the prince and grandson, Miss housekeeper, and directly whip and greet her. However, Duke Cheng and Empress Yuan both protected her tightly, and her reputation for arrogance and domineering spread more and more.

Runrun has made such a friend, I really want people not to worry about it.

However, after Runrun came back from the palace, he told everyone in the family that he had made a new friend, and said that Ruyi would come to the house to play in a few days, and he was even more happy.

Seeing that she is so enthusiastic, it is difficult for the old lady and Lu Qinglan to say anything.

That's it, Runrun is looking forward to it at home, waiting, waiting, waiting, day by day, but Ruyi still hasn't come.

The first thing Runrun does when she gets up every day is to ask her aunt, "Will Ruyi come today?" ”

Lu Qinglan didn't know how to answer her.

Then Runrun replied to himself: "You should come back, if you don't come today, you will come back tomorrow." Ruyi said that her mother's teacher asked her to read and write and practice female popularity, and she may be very busy these days. ”

Lu Qinglan was so distressed when she saw her self-consolation, and then the old lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the Chengguo Mansion to make a post.

When the Duchess of Chengguo saw the post, she called Ruyi over and asked.

When Ruyi saw the post, she suddenly remembered that she had promised the little fat man to see her. Originally, I thought that after coming back, her father came back with something and went when he was free, but her father's return was a few days late, and her mother detained her in the study for several days because of the affairs in the palace, and she forgot about this stubble.

"It's broken, it's broken, I forgot it. Mother, all the things my father brought from the border gates were picked up for me. ”

Duchess Chengguo said: "Your father brought so much, and it didn't all go into your stomach." Go and see in your own house. ”

Ruyi was also anxious, "My house is full of my leftovers, where can I take those to see people." You must have something to hide, divide some out and I'll give it to the little fat man. ”

"There's leftover, but that's for your two brothers."

"My brother's classmates and friends are on the move all year round, so a little less is nothing. Besides, they're all so old, what are they doing eating these little snacks, are they ashamed? ”

Duchess Chengguo poked her forehead, "You know what, small things represent the heart before they can be given away." "If you give something valuable, it will attract tongues.

Ruyi stuck to her side and coquettishly, shook her arm and said, "Good mother, my brothers' friends are friends, aren't my friends friends?" Why do you just keep it for their friends and not for my friends? ”

Duchess Chengguo was helpless by her, and said angrily: "Why did it come to your girl's mouth, but it became mine?" ”

Ruyi also played tricks and said, "If you don't want to give it, I'll ask my grandmother and father for it." ”

The old lady in the house and Cheng Guogong hated to spoil her to the sky, and they wouldn't give the moon if they wanted the stars.

Duchess Chengguo had no choice but to get up and do it for her. However, it is rare for her daughter to have a 'handkerchief handkerchief' that can be developed, and she is still a little happy in her heart.

The next day, she took Ruyi to Ye Mansion in person.

Ruyi didn't want her mother to follow, but Duchess Chengguo was afraid that she would be rude when she went to someone else's house for the first time, so she had to follow her everything.

Ruyi had no choice but to reluctantly go out with her mother.

The Duchess of Chengguo didn't like the lord of Jing'an, so she went directly to the old lady with Ruyi.

Runrun heard that Ruyi was coming the day before, and he was so excited that he got up several times a night to see if it was dawn.

It is rare to have guests in the backyard, and the old lady has been busy since the day before. This morning, the old lady, Su Shi, and Lu Qinglan all freshened up and changed their clothes early, and put the children in good order, and then asked people to decorate the house.

The Duchess of Chengguo made a decree, and it stands to reason that the old lady will also salute when she sees her. But she is not a person who pays attention to red tape, and the old lady is so old, she must not be able to accept her courtesy.

After Ruyi entered the door and saluted the old lady, he took a look at the romance.

Runrun was also looking at her, and the two met their eyes, and they laughed in unison.

Afraid that Runrun would be angry, the people of the Chengguo Mansion also explained to her: "This girl almost got into trouble in the palace, so I detained her at home for a few days, and when I received a post from the house, I thought of a way to let her out to breathe." Don't be angry with her and think she's late. ”

Runrun shook his head and said, "Madam, I'm not angry. I'm willing to come, but it's too late for me to be happy. ”

Duchess Chengguo looked at her little pink face, and felt that the child was real-minded, and she was worried that she would be bullied by her own Ruyi, "What is the name of Mrs., there are more students, and you can call your aunt." ”

Runrun responded with a smile and called out "Auntie" sweetly.

Duchess Chengguo is really happy to look at it, no, it is her daughter who is so soft and sweet to shout sweet, compared to her own one, she is really a wild boy who is more wild than a wild boy......

Duchess Chengguo listened to Ruyi's 'Runrun' for a long time, and she still knew a little about her, and she thought that this child was pleasing, but she really liked her, and took off a jade pendant on her waist as a gift.

The old lady also introduced the two children of the big house, and the Duchess of Chengguo had learned about the population of the Ye family in advance, and also prepared gifts for the two children, but this time it was not her own things, but some other girls' gadgets prepared.

Although it is the first time for the Duchess Chengguo and the old lady to talk well, she is a talkative person and a person who can find topics, and the two have nothing in common in terms of age or background, but when it comes to parenting, there are indeed endless words, and they can be regarded as chatting. Su Shi and Lu Qinglan didn't talk much, and occasionally interjected a couple of sentences, and the four of them could be regarded as having a good conversation.

As the adults talked, the children went out to play on their own.

Ya Jue and Xiuqiong, Ruyi are both seeing each other for the first time. She didn't like these two people like or dislike, she just came to see the little fat man, and she couldn't talk to the two of them.

Ya Ling and Xiuqiong were not stupid, and seeing that she had no intention of talking to them, they walked away very interestingly.

Runrun took her to her room and took out a small box from the bedside, which was filled with snacks that she was usually reluctant to eat, such as the special preserved fruits that Queen Yuan rewarded when she came back from the palace last time, and the fruit candy that her father brought back from the West.

Ruyi actually doesn't like to eat snacks very much, but when she saw Runrun offering treasure and brought it to her, and looked at her expectantly, Ruyi reluctantly picked two things to eat.

Runrun watched her eat, Ruyi pushed the box in front of her, and said, "You can eat too." ”

Runrun's eyes crooked with a smile, 'En', picked the smallest preserved fruit and put it in his mouth, and he was reluctant to chew it, so he slowly smashed it to taste. Then, as if she had remembered something, she took out a plate of small oranges from the cupboard.

At this time, the weather in the north is still quite cold, except for the palace, the goods in the cave are rare everywhere. Not to mention such fruits. This is still a few days ago, Ye Ling did an errand, and the emperor rewarded it. Distributed to all rooms in the family, even if it is runrun, there are not many things. She was reluctant to eat, so she hid a little bit every day while her aunt was not paying attention, and finally saved a plate.

However, after playing for a few days than she thought, these little oranges were not as smooth and full as before, and they looked a little shriveled.

Runrun frowned and searched for a while inside, only to find a few that didn't look so ugly and handed them to Ruyi to eat.

Ruyi just ate the preserved fruit, her hands were a little sticky, and she was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, so Runrun took the opportunity to peel it for her and handed it to her to eat.

Ruyi saw her busy like a little hamster, and found her to eat her stock, and she was a person who usually didn't like to eat fruits, and she also ate several petals on her hand with a very appreciative face.

After eating, Runrun finally settled down and sat down with Ruyi to talk.

Ruyi said that she was forced by her mother to do this and that at home these days, and said that her father came back from the side plug and was busy reporting work, and she couldn't see anyone, she was bored and dying at home alone, and asked what Runrun was busy with these days.

Runrun tilted his head and thought hard, and said, "I'm busy thinking about you." ”
