Chapter 09 Lead

Because of Ran Xiao's marriage, the Yu family was released the day after Ran Ning entered the palace. The housekeeper told Sù Ran Ning Wan Pingbo that he was at Yu's place, discussing the dowry with Aunt Zhao and them. Ran Ning also happened to save the greetings on both sides and went directly to the Yu family.

Walking into the house, Ran Xiao and Ran Xiao were both there, Ran Xiao's cheeks were red, and she was shy about her marriage. Although Ran Ji was smiling, the hand in front of her was holding the handkerchief tightly, I don't know if it was because of dissatisfaction or jealousy.

Ran Ning took in the mentality of these two people, but she didn't move, and greeted Wan Pingbo and Yu on the main seat, "Say hello to my father and mother." ”

"Come back, sit down." Wan Pingbo said.

Yu didn't say anything, just put down the gift list in his hand and turned his gaze to Ran Ning. Now as long as she thinks that Ran Ning is in the palace, not only has to abide by all kinds of rules, but also may become an old girl, she feels happy in her heart.

"Are you okay in the palace?" Wan Pingbo asked.

"It's okay, and Father Lao is worried." Ran Ning sat down in his place and replied.

Zhao Shi looked at Ran Ning, sighed twice as distressed, and said, "Why do I think Ning Er has lost weight?" There are many rules in the palace, and it is not as comfortable as being at home, so Ning'er must also take care of her body. After speaking, Zhao glanced at Yu.

"That's right, let the kitchen add a few dishes that Ning'er likes to eat, and when Ning'er comes back, she will add dishes according to her taste." Wan Pingbo commanded.

"Yes." The little guy next to Wan Pingbo answered, and walked quickly to the kitchen.

"Thank you, father." Ran Ning stood up and saluted.

"By the way, tomorrow is the day of Xiao'er's recruitment, you and Ji'er don't have to come forward, and you don't have to get up early to say hello." Wan Pingbo said.

Ran Ning and Ran Ji responded without saying much. According to the rules, the girls who are still in the pavilion only need to add makeup and attend the wedding banquet, and they do not need to participate in other auspicious days, so as not to be bumped into by strange men.

However, Ran Ning felt that this time was enough to rush, and it had only been a few days since she entered the palace, and Na Cai, Wen Ming and Naji had all been held. It seems that both the Zhao family and the Shen family are extremely satisfied with this family business, so they can't wait to handle it, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Ran Ning went back to her room for dinner, and Bizhu told her about the recent days in the house, but Ran Ning listened to it without saying a word, and she didn't go to her heart.

Early the next morning, the Shen family came, and the dowry filled half of the courtyard, which was very festive, and it could be seen that the Shen family attached great importance to Ran Xiao. The wedding date is set for the twenty-eighth of the next month, which is a rare good day, and the time is rushed, but the master of the day said that this auspicious day is good for both men and women, and if you want to wait, you have to wait until the end of the year. So in the end, I chose this day sooner rather than later.

This excitement is not something that Ran Ning needs to catch up, although there is no need to ask for peace, but there are so many people in the house in the morning, and it is difficult for her to sleep peacefully, so she got up early.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Ran Ning said something to Yu, and went out with Bizhu. The Yu family did not embarrass Ran Ning, but Ran Ning found that the dowry list in Yu's hand had been almost broken by the Yu family, obviously, the Shen family's dowry this time was very generous and quite decent, which touched Yu's jealousy. Originally, Ran Xiao was just a concubine, even if he was a proper person, the Yu family probably didn't expect the Shen family to give such a generous dowry. And with Ran Xiao's precedent, she has to pick Ran Xiao's marriage even more carefully, so as not to be compared to Ran Xiao.

Ran Ning took Bizhu out this time because she wanted to buy a gift for Zhuo Sile, and the gold and silver peanuts she brought into the palace were all for rewarding, so it was not suitable for Zhuo Sle.

"Third girl, where are we going?" Bizhu asked. Ran Ning was not in the house, but she was suffocated, she was originally a little childlike, and Ran Ning often took her out, and she was suddenly locked up in the house, which was really uncomfortable.

"Go to the jade shop." Ran Ning said. There are not many things that can be used in the palace, and it is more convenient to bring in some hair accessories and jewelry, Zhuo Sile is good at pipa, and it is not too convenient to have something on his wrist, so Ran Ning wants to buy her a hosta, which is suitable whenever she wears it, and it will not be too public.

Ran Ning has a jade shop that he frequents, and the jade in it is of good quality and the price is fair.

As soon as he walked to the door of the jade shop, someone happened to come out head-on, and Ran Ning gave way slightly to avoid colliding with people.

"Ning'er?"

The familiar voice made Ran Ning frown, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Lian's face with a little surprise.

"Shen Gongzi." Ran Ning nodded to him slightly. Even if she doesn't want to communicate, Shen Lian is also the one who wants to be her brother-in-law, and she can't make it too ugly.

"You...... Are you here to buy something? Shen Lian asked, the surprise in his eyes quickly turned into joy.

"Hmm." Ran Ning responded casually. Shen Lian had a box in his hand, obviously just coming out after shopping.

"If you have something you like, I'll give it to you." Shen Lian said immediately.

"Don't bother, I'll just take a look." Ran Ning didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Shen Lian looked at the Bizhu beside Ran Ning, frowned slightly, and asked, "Can you find a quiet place to talk?" ”

"No need, Shen Gongzi will go back early after buying his things." If she knew that Shen Lian was here, she wouldn't have chosen this time to come over.

Shen Lian sighed, not looking like he was angry, and said to Ran Ning: "I only learned the news after you entered the palace, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"The decree has been given, so what?" Ran Ning chuckled. This is Shen Lian's so-called concern for her, and it's ridiculous to think about it now.

"Do you really want to stay in the palace until twenty-five?" Shen Lian obviously disagreed.

"So what?" Ran Ning felt that her affairs had nothing to do with Shen Lian at all.

"Ning'er......" Shen Lian looked at her affectionately, "I can wait for you." What I say still counts, and I can wait for you to come out of the palace. ”

Ran Ning felt funny, and laughed at the same time.

Ran Ning smiled very beautifully, Shen Lian also looked straight, the more he compared, the more he felt that Ran Xiao was not as good as Ran Ning, and it was very vulgar.

Ran Ning's laughter was more of a mockery, even if she was twenty-five years old after she left the palace, it was difficult to become a wife again, it didn't mean that he was going to be a concubine for Shen Lian, she wouldn't be so self-contemptuous. She was disgusted with Shen Lian's attitude of charity, and she began to become more and more bored with Shen Lian in her heart.

The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, Ran Ning didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said: "Farewell." So he went straight into the store.

Shen Lian looked at Ran Ning's back in a daze, and there was more confidence in his eyes.

After returning to the palace, Ran Ning learned that the new song had been decided, and the song "Ruyi" she composed was actually selected. But she wrote the song, but she was not the main voice. Le Qing's reason was that Ran Ning had just entered the palace, her level was unstable, and she had never participated in the palace banquet, so in order to avoid nervous mistakes, the main voice this time was handed over to another Zou musician who was also good at guzheng.

Zou Leshi was also stunned when she heard the news, and seemed unwilling to accept it, but she couldn't disobey Le Qing's arrangement. Zhuo Sler was not worth it for Ran Ning, but he couldn't interject. Generally speaking, at the palace banquet, if the saints and ladies like it, the person who rewards it must be the person who is the main voice, and no one will ask whether the song is composed by the person who is the main voice, so under normal circumstances, the person who composes the music will be the person who is the main voice, which is also to show fairness, unless the composer takes the initiative.

Although Qingle's arrangement has a certain amount of truth, Ran Ning's ability is not unseen by others, so he feels that Qingle's arrangement is somewhat unreasonable, but he has no right to interfere.

Ran Ning didn't say anything, she was new to the city, so she had to be a little more restrained in everything, and it was better not to compete with others for the time being.

Once the lead voice and soundtrack were chosen, the practice began. This time, Concubine Xian's birthday did not arrange anything for Ran Ning, and she did not even have the right to express her opinion on how to arrange the song in the end, and Ran Ning seemed to have become the most idle person in the entire Lile Division.

found a time when Zhuo Sile was free, Ran Ning gave her the white hosta she bought, and only said that she went to hang out when she was resting, and she saw it by chance and thought it was very suitable, so she bought it. Zhuo Sler seemed to like it and put it on immediately.

"Don't be too upset about the song." Zhuo Sile comforted: "This kind of thing is not unprecedented. ”

Ran Ning smiled and said, "Everyone thinks I care, but in fact, I don't care. Zhuo Lesi doesn't have to complain about me, and Le Qing's worries are not unreasonable. ”

"That's good." Seeing Ran Ning's natural attitude, Zhuo Sile was relieved, and then said: "Master Zou Le is good, this time she was pushed up, I'm afraid she won't feel comfortable in her heart, after all, no matter what you say, it's all about robbing you of your credit." ”

"It doesn't matter. Musician Zou is indeed excellent at the piano, and I am very relieved that the music is handed over to her. Ran Ning smiled. She didn't have much contact with this Zou Leshi, but it could be seen that the other party was not in a hurry for quick success.

"Hmm. If you have time, you can learn from your piano skills, and it is good to be able to learn from your strengths. Zhuo Sler said.

"Yes." After drinking the tea in the cup, Ran Ning asked, "Hasn't Zhi'er's matter progressed yet?" ”

Zhuo Sile shook his head and said, "Lord Xu has come to ask Le Qing a few times, because Le Qing can't provide useful clues, and I don't know who the man Zhi'er admires is. If there are no more clues, I am afraid it will become an unsolved case. ”

Ran Ning's thoughts also calmed down, in the absence of more clues, the jade pendant she saw might really be the key to the breakthrough, but she really couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Although Ran Ning did not participate in this birthday banquet, she really saw the hard work of the practice, after all, it was a song dedicated to the virtuous concubine, and she didn't dare to make a mistake at all.

In the busy and intense repeated practice, the birthday of the virtuous concubine has arrived. The banquet was held in the evening, and the lights were hung up in the palace early, and no matter whether the other ladies were really happy or not, they all attended the birthday banquet with smiles on their faces.

But just half an hour before the banquet began, the palace maid suddenly came to report that Zou Leshi's finger was injured, and I am afraid that he will not be able to lead tonight......
