Chapter 38 explains

After dinner, Ran Ning and Zhong Su returned to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and after greeting the Tan family, they returned to their courtyard.

The two took a bath one after another, and then lay on the bed together, looking at the few books that Ran Ning brought back from Lao Wan Pingbo's study.

After turning a few pages, Ran Ning put the book aside, sat on the bed and looked at Zhong Su, and said, "There is something I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhong Su also put down the book and looked at Ran Ning.

"About Shen Lian." Ran Ning felt that since she had decided to say it, it was naturally better to say it sooner rather than later.

Zhong Su didn't answer, just quietly listened to what Ran Ning wanted to say.

"I don't have to say this in the first place, but I feel like it's better for you to hear it from someone else." Ran Ning's attitude was natural, without the intention of avoiding it, and said: "I met Shen Lian when I copied a solitary book in the Qin Tea Pavilion, and he said that he liked me, but I didn't have that kind of feelings for him. But I have to be honest with you, because I have never been in a good situation at home, so I also considered that maybe marrying him would be a good choice, at least it would be easier. ”

When Ran Ning first thought about what she wanted to say, she felt that it was easy, but when she really talked to Zhong Su, she found it a little difficult. She was afraid that she couldn't speak clearly, Zhong Su would misunderstand, and she was afraid that Zhong Su would think too much. But at this point, she had to bite the bullet and continue.

"Later, the Shen family came to propose to the eldest sister, although I was a little surprised, but I didn't feel sad or unacceptable, now that I think about it, Shen Lian is just an acquaintance and friend to me, and more feelings can't be talked about, so I didn't touch anything. He came to me after that, and I made it very clear to him, and some of his opinions and statements made me very disgusted with him, and I didn't want to contact him again. Ran Ning said truthfully: "Many people may know about me and Shen Lian, but we have never overstepped the rules. After he married his eldest sister, he and I were only nominal relatives. Originally, I wasn't going to tell you this, after all, it's not a big deal, but I met Shen Lian in the corridor today, and his attitude made me even more disgusted with him, but his attitude didn't seem to change because of my disdain and alienation, so I think I have to tell you, I hope you can believe me, in case something reaches your ears, you can also calmly consider it before making a decision. ”

Zhong Su looked at Ran Ning, who had a stern face, smiled slightly, touched Ran Ning's hair, and said, "I know, I believe in you." ”

He knew very well that Ran Ning was a high-spirited person, and although he didn't show it, it didn't mean that he didn't. Ran Ning has been educated by Lao Wan Pingbo since he was a child, and he must know the truth of being constantly interrupted and suffering from chaos, and in terms of Ran Ning's attitude towards things, he is definitely not a person who drags mud and water, so he believes that Ran Ning has nothing to do with Shen Lian.

As for Shen Lian's entanglement, he can also understand that after all, Ran Ning's beauty is not something that ordinary men can resist. And Shen Lian's stupidity is equivalent to giving Ran Ning to him. In the face of such a stupid person, Zhong Su did not feel any sense of threat at all. And Ran Ning is no longer willing to deal with Shen Lian, it can be seen that Shen Lian has stepped on Ran Ning's bottom line, and there is no room for maneuver at all.

In that case, what else is he worried about? Even if he can't trust Shen Lian, he can trust Ran Ning.

"Thank you." Ran Ning took the initiative to hug Zhong Su, nothing was more important to her than Zhong Su's trust.

Zhong Su pinched her ears and said, "You are very smart, so I think between me and Shen Lian, you will definitely choose me." ”

"Yes." Ran Ning nodded seriously, blushed and said, "I like you." ”

"Hmm." Zhong Su smiled and said, "I like you too." ”

"Like" is actually very rare for women to say, after all, this is the standard of women's reserve in the eyes of many people. In the past, Ran Ning also felt that it was good to keep this sentence in her heart, but now she understands that when she likes it to an extreme, this sentence is said naturally, hoping that the other party will know, and then respond to herself. Of course, Ran Ning also has her own degree, their bedroom here, so she doesn't feel embarrassed to say it, after all, from a certain point of view, this is also the joy of the boudoir.

After the three-day wedding break, Zhong Su will also start to go to the morning court on time. Just after midnight, Zhong Su got up, Ran Ning was sleeping deeply, and Zhong Su didn't wake her up. After a brief breakfast, I went out with my grandfather and father.

When Ran Ning woke up, the position around her was already cold, this was the first time she woke up since she got married, Zhong Su was not around, which made her a little unaccustomed, but she knew that most of the time in the future, she would face such a morning.

"Bizhu." Ran Ning didn't have the habit of ringing the bell, and called Bizhu directly, she knew that Bizhu must be outside.

Sure enough, after Bizhu heard the voice, he pushed the door and walked in, "Young lady, are you awake?" ”

"Well, when did Zhong Su leave?"

"At three o'clock, I've already had breakfast, and when I leave, let the slave tell you that I might come back later." Bizhu dutifully told Zhong Su what she had asked her to explain.

"Got it, let's wash up." Ran Ning didn't ask any more, anyway, Zhong Su had already made it very clear.

"Yes." Bizhu immediately called the maids who were waiting outside to come in and wait for Ran Ning to wash.

Because she was in the house, Ran Ning didn't deliberately dress up, she only chose relatively simple clothes and wore simple hair accessories, which was no different from when she was in Wanpingbo's mansion. It's just that when she was in Wanpingbo's Mansion, she didn't have any good things to wear, and now she didn't want to dress too restrictively, she hoped that when Zhong Su came back, she would see her as clean and natural, so that Zhong Su could relax a little, after all, such an ordinary dress is to live, and they closed the courtyard door, and they also had the taste of home.

After breakfast, Ran Ning went to greet Tan as usual. Tan saw that she neither criticized nor praised her dress, and this attitude was more like a kind of ignorance.

"Do you know the house rules and mottos well?" Tan asked.

"The daughter-in-law is dull and has not yet remembered." Ran Ning replied. In fact, she had already memorized it when she copied it for the second time, but if she said that she had memorized it now, Tan Shi probably didn't know what to let her do, since there was no deadline, Ran Ning also wanted to take the opportunity to hide and take a good rest. On the other hand, Ran Ning didn't want to be too eye-catching, in this short half a day, it was natural that she couldn't carry it, plus she had been taking care of Zhong Su that afternoon, and she returned to the door yesterday, so she should have forgotten about it.

Tan glanced at her and said, "Then continue to memorize." ”

"Yes." Ran Ning responded. Let her stay in the small study, it's not that she can't sit still, it's just that she is so lazy, and the time she spends with Zhong Su has become less, and it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective.

As before, the Tan family only sent a maid to stand outside the small study and watch, while Ran Ning and Bizhu stayed inside. It's a bit windy today, so the study door is mostly closed. Ran Ning copied the book for a while, and somehow, a piece of music suddenly popped out of his mind, which was particularly soothing and calming, so the original text of the pen became a music score, and Bizhu, who was studying ink, saw it, just covered his mouth and chuckled, and did not remind him. Ran Ning sometimes does this, when she was copying or reading a book, she suddenly had an inspiration, so she wrote it down casually, and then brought it back to her room to test it.

As soon as Zhong Su came to the court, he was called by the emperor to the imperial study to discuss matters. When he came out, he found that Du Muyi and Yuan Hengyang were waiting for him at the gate of the palace. Du Muyi is the military advisor of Yuan Hengyang, and there is no need to go to court on weekdays, but he came over today and obviously made a special trip to wait for Zhong Su.

Yuan Hengyang is the son of an Yuan's general, who is the same age as Zhong Su, and has also been on the battlefield since he was a child. Compared with Zhong Su's introverted Sven, Yuan Hengyang is a military general at a glance, with a sturdy figure and powerful arms, which looks a little awkward, but his eyes are also extremely majestic.

"Your face is not very good, are you ...... again" Yuan Hengyang walked over and asked. Zhong Su's madness is also responsible for him, if he could have been stronger, Zhong Su would not have gotten this field. So in his heart, he owes Zhong Su a life.

"Nothing." Zhong Su said lightly.

"Miss Ran San wasn't scared by you?" Du Mu asked.

"No, she's been taking care of me." Thinking of this, Zhong Su's mood was much happier.

"What is Miss Ran, now I have to call it a brother and sister." Yuan Hengyang laughed.

The three of them are the same year, but Zhong Su is the youngest in his birthday, so Ran Ning is naturally a younger sibling.

"Yes, yes." Du Mu nodded a little and said, "I booked a place in Kelaiju, go have something to eat?" ”

Although they only came to the court with breakfast in the morning, the discussion time was too long like today, and they were hungry before waiting for the next court, so they usually either went back to their homes to use some more after going to the court, or three or five colleagues who could chat with them went outside to use some before returning home.

"Let's go." Zhong Su nodded, he had already asked Bizhu to inform Ran Ning that he would return late, and it was also appropriate to get together with them.

Ran Ning was writing here, and she heard the maid outside calling, "Young lady." "Apparently Shi Li is here.

Bizhu's eyes were quick, and he immediately folded the score written by Ran Ning and put it into his clothes, and Ran Ning also dragged out new rice paper, pretending to have been copying. When Ran Ning went to greet the Tan family before, the Li family hadn't arrived yet, so they hadn't met.

"The second young lady is inside?" Lee asked.

"Yes." The maid replied without slackening.

"I'll go in and see." Li said, and pushed open the door of the study. The maid didn't stop her, after all, Ran Ning was just copying, not being punished, and Mrs. didn't say that no one was allowed to enter the small study.

"Sister-in-law is here?" Seeing her come in, Ran Ning put down the brush.

"Hmm. In the morning, I asked the kitchenette to make some yam glutinous rice cakes, you can taste them. As he spoke, Li asked the maid to take out the yam glutinous rice cake from the food box and put it on the table.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ran Ning nodded, took a piece and tasted it, and said with a smile: "It tastes really good." ”

"If you like it." Li smiled and looked at what Ran Ning had copied, and said with some sighs: "My brother and sister's handwriting is really beautiful. ”

"My sister-in-law praised it, but she can understand it." Ran Ning felt that when she compared her words with Zhong Su, she really couldn't handle it.

"When I first entered the door, fortunately my mother didn't let me copy these memorizations, otherwise I would have a headache. I'm not good at memorizing, and I guess even if I were given a year and a half, I might not be able to memorize it. Li smiled: "After all these years, fortunately, there is no big mistake." ”

Li said this as if he was glad that he didn't let her memorize it at the beginning, but in fact, he was telling Sù Ran Ning that Tan was making things difficult for her, even if these things were not copied and recited, as long as they were cautious on weekdays, they would not violate the family rules at all.

In fact, after reading these family rules and family mottos, Ran Ning also knew very well that these were not harsh requirements, as long as she paid more attention on weekdays, there would be no major mistakes and omissions.

"My mother acted cautiously, and she was afraid that I would make a mistake, so she specially asked me to copy the back, anyway, I have nothing to do, just to pass the time." Ran Ning smiled: "And it is also beneficial to learn more rules." ”

Li couldn't see that Ran Ning was sincere in what she said, but as far as she guessed, there must be no one, "If the younger brother and sister feel hard, they may talk to the second young master, let him talk to his mother, and he will be exempted." ”

Ran Ning smiled and said, "No need, after all, this is the first thing my mother asked me to do after entering the door, and I can't be lazy." While your memory is acceptable, let's memorize it. ”

She would go to Zhong Su to intercede when she was stupid, she knew that Zhong Su would definitely help her, but the relationship between Zhong Su and her mother-in-law was very delicate, and she couldn't bother Zhong Su for such a trivial matter, if it didn't work out, she and Zhong Su would feel tired.

At this time, another maid from Li's side came to report that Mrs. Tan had brought Miss Biao here.

Li smiled after hearing this, and looked at Ran Ning.

Ran Ning was almost invisible and slightly stunned, this cousin should be the cousin that the Tan family originally liked, right?
