CHAPTER XXXIX

After the negotiation, the Duchess of Chengguo sat down and talked to the old lady and others for a while, and the two families will be considered relatives in the future, and it is also appropriate to be closer.

Ruyi and Runrun were still talking.

If she is not as energetic as usual, she is also worried: "Why did you suddenly get sick?" It won't be ...... I can't have infected you, right? ”

Runrun shook his head, "It's none of your business, I fell asleep in the pavilion by myself." ”

Ruyi felt that it was wrong when he heard it, "How can you run the pavilion to sleep?" ”

In the face of Ruyi, Runrun had nothing to hide, so he explained: "I met that little brother of your family, he doesn't know the way, let me wait for him there." She also scratched her head a little embarrassed, "And then I waited and fell asleep......"

Ruyi raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "This stinky boy!" Wait until I turn around and beat him!" ”

Runrun hurriedly lowered his voice, "Shhh I didn't tell anyone, only you know, don't say it. ”

"He made you sick, why don't I help you find a way?"

Runrun took Ruyi's hand and shook it, "It's not a big deal, you see I'm almost better now, right?" Don't tell me about it. ”

Runrun was still sick, and she was coquettish with her soft and glutinous voice. Ruyi didn't have a reason not to agree, so he said: "Okay, keep this account in mind first." ”

Don't you remember it first, she always has to help Runrun come back when she has the chance!

The two talked for a while, and the Duchess Chengguo and the old lady came over.

Duchess Chengguo didn't go around the bend with Runrun, and sat at the head of the bed next to Ruyi.

"Runrun, how about being a goddaughter for our family?" She asked.

Runrun: "Huh? ”

Seeing her surprise, Duchess Chengguo turned around and glanced at Ruyi. This girl, when she was at home, she said okay, let her tell Runrun first, in case the little girl thinks it's too abrupt, why doesn't it seem that a word is revealed to others now?

Ruyi stuck out his tongue. She just talked to Runrun so much that she forgot what her mother explained.

Runrun was stunned for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise: "Auntie, do you want to recognize me as a goddaughter?" Then he turned his head and asked Ruyi, "Really?" Are you sure? ”

Ruyi also laughed, "Really! We'll be real sisters from now on! ”

Run's eyebrows and eyes smiled vividly, and his face was full of joy.

Although Teacher Ruyi complained that her mother didn't allow her to do this, didn't allow her to do that, and pressured her to learn this and that, but every time Runrun listened to it, she was very envious. Now she can have a mother! And she is also a good mother like the aunt of the Chengguo Mansion!

Ruyi said again: "In the future, you can come to live at my house, and I will share half of the delicious food with you!" ”

Runrun nodded as if he was good, and then lifted it again, and said to the Duchess of Chengguo: "I, I don't eat much." ”

Duchess Chengguo couldn't help laughing and touched her head lovingly, "Silly child." ”

That's how the two families recognize each other.

Because of the special status of the Duchess of Chengguo, she was eye-catching about Runrun's recognition of her goddaughter, so she did not celebrate extravagantly, so a few days later, after Runrun's body recovered, she only set up a family banquet and a small banquet to enjoy flowers in the Chengguo Mansion, and introduced Runrun to the people of the Chengguo Mansion and some of her good wives.

The old Chengguo was born in the army, and he didn't have any relatives in the capital. He has two sons under his knees, the eldest son died on the battlefield, and the younger son is Chengguo Gong. Now in addition to the accident, there are two sons, a girl, the eldest son's name is Gao Hong, and the second son's name is Gao Che. They are all produced by the original match of Chengguo Gong. There is also a girl named Gao Xi, who is the widow of the deceased eldest brother of Chengguo and has been married.

Gao Hong Shang Princess Zhaoyue was released a year ago. The princess could have stayed in the capital, but she specially followed him to take office. Gao Chezhi was not in the temple, and after expressing his heart to his parents not long ago, he went out to travel to the famous mountains and rivers.

However, Gao Xi still went back to his parents' house this day, just to meet this little sister.

Therefore, the family banquet in the Chengguo Mansion is also simple. The eldest elder is the wife of the old Chengguo Gong, and now the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion.

The old lady's personality is a little weird, and the Duchess of Chengguo was afraid that she would be frightened Runrun, so she specially greeted her in advance.

At that time, the old lady glared at her disappretently, "Am I the kind of monster that can eat people?" ”

The old lady still slandered in her heart, there are a few girls in her own family, and it won't be that she hasn't raised them, what's so rare?

When Duchess Chengguo brought Runrun to her, the old lady realized that this little girl was indeed quite different from her own family. The white ball-like face looks soft and cute, making people embarrassed to talk to her loudly. It's no wonder that the daughter-in-law wants her to pay attention to it and not to scare others.

Runrun obediently stepped forward to salute and called someone, and the old lady sealed a red envelope for her, even if she recognized this godgranddaughter.

Speaking of which, Cheng Guogong has seen Runrun once, but it is only a one-sided relationship, and she just remembers that her daughter has a white and chubby partner.

Runrun stepped forward to salute her in a proper manner, and said Wanfu and toasted tea, "I've seen my godfather." ”

didn't look scared, Cheng Guogong took her tea, ordered someone to reward something, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart. After all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his momentum is extraordinary, and ordinary people are inevitably a little timid when they see him. Even the crown prince and the second prince are a little in awe of this uncle. On the other hand, the little girl in front of her, although she was a little shy, her demeanor was generous.

Of course, Runrun didn't think so much, she thought that this was Ruyi's father in front of her anyway, Ruyi was so good, and Ruyi's mother was so good. Then Ruyi's father must be very good.

Later, the Duchess of Chengguo introduced Runrun to Gao Xi.

Gao Xi is twenty years old and has not yet produced, at this time, when he heard that Runrun looked so cute and sweet, and called himself 'sister' sweetly, he really wanted to hug Runrun to his lap and kiss the fragrance.

However, Runrun was a little scared, so she didn't make a hot farewell action, but also ordered someone to reward her and talk to her for a while.

At noon, the family got together for dinner.

Afraid that Runrun would not be used to it, the Duchess of Chengguo also specially inquired about her taste with the old lady of Yefu, and asked the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes from the Jiangnan area according to her taste.

Runrun was also a little restrained at first, but Ruyi was on the side, taking care of her all the time, laughing and amusing her, distracting her attention, and gradually she became very comfortable.

In the afternoon, it is a small banquet for inviting the ladies of various families to come and place it in the flower hall of the Chengguo Mansion.

It was the first time for Runrun to participate in this kind of gathering, and he was very apprehensive.

The Duchess of Chengguo patiently comforted her, prepared new clothes and new jewelry, and brought her to the front of the people as soon as she dressed up.

The ladies who are good friends with the Duchess of Chengguo, not to mention what they think in their hearts, are still very enthusiastic on their faces, pulling Runrun to speak, one asks how many sisters in the family are now, the other asks what they are usually doing, and asks how they are studying in the school recently, and they are very affectionate.

Although Runrun is not very bold, seeing that so many aunts and aunts care about him, he is not stage frightened, and answers the questions one by one, very decently, and the guests and hosts are happy.

Duchess Chengguo looked relieved from the side, this is what a girl should look like. It's like Ruyi, if people ask two more words, they will put on a stinky face and be very unwilling, as if they ask two more words, and she will do it. And because of the reputation of being domineering outside, these ladies don't like to be close to Ruyi.

But on this day, Ruyi still looked at Runrun's face, and when someone asked her about it, she also gave a face-saving answer. It's not very hot, but it's not out of order.

At the end of the day, Runrun received a lot of gifts. There are jade pendants, hairpins, bracelets and other valuables, as well as some children's gadgets.

After the ladies left, Runrun spread everything on the table and pulled Ruyi to look, "Look at what you like." ”

Ruyi looked around, and felt that these things were not very surprising, and she didn't particularly like jewelry or anything, so she could look at it carefully like this, that is, on Runrun's face.

"I don't lack any of these things, they were all given to you by others, so keep them."

Runrun frowned and thought about it seriously, "Then what do you like?" I—I'm thinking of a way to send you, okay? ”

Ruyi tilted her head, "Why do you have to give me something?" ”

Runrun said very reasonably: "Because your father has the best you have, I gave it to me." ”

Ruyi hugged her gently, "Fool." ”

In the evening, Empress Yuan in the palace rewarded Runrun with some things, which was extremely decent.

Of course, the most decent thing is not these things, but the person who sent them - Prince Zhu Xi came in person.

Because the prince came officially this time, unlike the usual private visits of Weifu, the family of the Chengguo Mansion had to go to the door to pick up the car.

The prince helped the old lady up, and also exempted the others from salute, and then read out the edict of Empress Yuan, and let the eunuch palace maid holding the vermilion tray rush in.

Runrun and Ruyi stood together, at the back. I couldn't help but secretly look at the prince with my eyes.

The prince was talking to the old lady and Cheng Guogong, felt her gaze, turned his head sideways and smiled at her.

Runrun also laughed.

Ruyi took her hand and crutched her, "What are you smiling at?" ”

Runrun shook his head, "It's nothing." "It's really nothing, she is just happy that there are so many family members all of a sudden.

After the prince finished talking to the adults, he came to find Runrun.

"Call cousin." The prince's eyes were shining, and he teased her.

Runrun was suddenly a little embarrassed, his cheeks flushed, and he called him softly.

The prince was also very happy and pinched her fleshy face. When I pinched it, I found that it felt really good, soft and smooth, softer than dough. Although the younger brother is a little unreliable, but for a cousin like Runrun, the prince's mood is obviously very good.
