When that day came to the end of the day, the Empress Dowager Yide still didn't say anything. Jiang Ruan sensitively felt that the Empress Dowager Yide must have a secret hidden in her heart, just like that inexplicable picture of the southern Xinjiang landscape. However, this secret, the Empress Dowager Yide did not seem to mean to tell her. In the previous life, I stayed in the palace for many years and never heard any secrets of the Empress Dowager Yide, and I thought that I didn't even know about Xuanli.

If there is anything special, it is that I heard that in this battle between the Tianjin Kingdom and the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty became more and more courageous, and seeing that the Tianjin Kingdom was about to be defeated, I don't know what went wrong with the Heavenly Jin Kingdom. The tide of battle is back in a stalemate.

Jiang Susu was happy again, and when she met Jiang Ruan in the mansion again, she often deliberately mentioned this matter. Jiang Ruan pretended to be a mad dog barking, and Jiang Susu came down several times to see Jiang Ruan indifferent, so he was also disappointed, and simply stopped mentioning it, concentrating on preparing for the golden chrysanthemum banquet later.

The Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet is the custom of the Great Jin Dynasty, and in the early autumn period, chrysanthemums bloom a lot, and the county keeper's wife presides over it, inviting the young girls in Beijing to get together, and the teenagers talk about fellowship on the other side. Although it seems to be a small gathering on the surface, in fact, it is just the wives and wives of each family who look at each other's sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. The atmosphere of the Great Jin Dynasty is quite enlightened, and there have been young people and girls who met at the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet, and the most successful marriage was passed down as a good story.

Jiang Quan may finally realize that the two concubines in his house have reached the age of marriage, putting aside Jiang Ruan for the time being, Jiang Susu is Jiang Quan's pearl, and he wants to find a good husband for her. This time, I also invited Shen Rou, the grandmother of Xiahou Mansion, to take Jiang Ruan with her.

Xia Jiaojiao's portrait has also been sent to the palace, so there is no need to participate in such occasions. As Jiang Chao became more and more embarrassed in front of Xuanli, Xia Cheng seemed to realize something, and Xia Yan's matter was originally the fault of Xiahou Mansion, so the relationship with Jiang Mansion gradually eased, as if that incident had never happened.

Jiang Susu went to the Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet, if Jiang Ruan didn't go, he would inevitably attract tongues. In addition, Jiang Ruan's name was also on the post of the county guard's wife, so she went with Shen Rou.

Xu regarded this golden chrysanthemum banquet as extremely important, but Jiang Susu was closed in the room all day, and Su Xinyuan occasionally came from the tactful piano sound, which was elegant and beautiful. A few girls in Ruan Juli didn't think so, Xia Yan was suffering in the Buddhist hall, and as a daughter, she still had the heart to go to these Lao Shizi banquets. At the beginning, Xia Yan thought about Jiang Susu in everything, but he didn't want this daughter to be a white-eyed wolf.

Jiang Ruan didn't take this golden chrysanthemum banquet to heart, and he still did what he should do every day. Tianzhu was very relieved to see her like this, and only thought that the young master's hard work was not in vain. If this well-raised cabbage is let other pigs arch in vain, the young master will be angry when he returns to Beijing. cough, of course, Jiang Ruan is not a cabbage, and the young master is not a ....... What's that.

The hot summer day finally finished slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was early autumn, and the sun had already disappeared from the spicy heat of the earlier days, and became a little milder. Occasionally, there was a hint of extremely cool wind, and in the small flower bed outside Ruanju, unknown small white daisies planted randomly also opened - the golden chrysanthemum feast was coming.

If it is the usual golden chrysanthemum banquet, Jiang's mansion must be extremely lively. There is Xia Yan who dots up and down, Mrs. Jiang, who instructs the rules among them, the second aunt who buys jewelry everywhere, and wears red tassels that are as beautiful as fairies. That Jiang Li is as tall and domineering as before, and Jiang Susu is smiling again and making a fairy statue that does not eat fireworks in the world. Jiang Dan cowardly and cautiously curryed favor. There is no shortage of women in Jiang's mansion, and the room full of red, pink and rouge is endlessly charming.

However, the past is fleeting like flowing water, as if those beautiful shadows are just a dream of Nanke. Today's Jiang Mansion only has an aunt with a big belly, but as if she has changed her temperament, she no longer talks about Fengyue, only worries about trivialities, and there is no lightness in the past. And the rest of the people died to death, mad and crazy. The huge Jiang Mansion is actually empty and lonely, showing a bit of depression.

The subordinates in the mansion are the most sensitive to these changes, and it is only in a few years that the Jiang Mansion seems to have changed. These children who have lived in the Jiang Mansion since they were children faintly have a thought in their hearts, the flowers of the Jiang Mansion for decades may not be long before they will be like these women in the Jiang Mansion and will be covered with dust.

……

Early in the morning, Jiang Ruan was served and freshened by Bai Zhi and Forsythia, but today God is willing to appreciate his face, and he has a slight sun, sprinkled with warmth on his body, but there is no trace of heat. The breeze is cool, and it is best to watch the flowers.

Because she had not yet come out of the filial piety period, Bai Zhi picked out Lianqing's clothes for Jiang Ruan, and Forsythia said: "It's a pity that the girl's color, originally she wore the best red, and no one could compare with it." ”

"Girls are not here to compare beauty." Bai Zhi said: "Lianqing's is also very good, solemn. ”

It's easy to pack up, and the maid said that the carriage of Xiahou Mansion was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and Shen Rou came to pick up people early. As soon as Jiang Ruan went out, he saw Jiang Susu in plain clothes.

Jiang Susu has been staying in the house these days, and he is anxious every day, and his former beauty has lost three points. Today, I think I have been carefully dressed, wearing a soft silver Qingluo lily skirt with a chic cut, setting off her slender and chic, her long hair is turned into a bun, and a glass ruyi hairpin is inserted obliquely. It is both plain and pure, but it looks out of the world, and it seems that the original charm has been refined a little, and every move has faded away the frivolity, showing a unique charm. has always attracted people's attention, and I just feel that she is really like a nine-day fairy.

Seeing Jiang Ruan come out, Jiang Susu also looked at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan hadn't worn red clothes for a long time, and today she picked out a plain embroidered jacket skirt in lotus blue. The lotus blue color is already provocative, and it makes her more and more fair-skinned, her eyebrows are deep, and the solemn color makes her have an extra layer of royal luxury that others don't have. Noble and natural, as if she was born to be a princess.

Jiang Susu looked at it, and a deep hatred gradually appeared in his eyes.

In fact, Jiang Ruan is not to blame, when the Empress Dowager Yide asked Si Yidian to make clothes, she would often make some for Jiang Ruan. There is no need to mention the clothes and materials distributed to the county lord in the palace. Although Jiang Quan also has many good things in his hands, he can't compare to the tributes in the palace. In addition, Jiang Ruan stayed in the palace for so many years in his last life, and his gestures naturally contaminated the habits of the palace. This habit can't be learned in a short period of time, and others don't know about her past, but they will only say that she is born with a good demeanor.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shen Rou smiled: "Two girls, don't you come to the carriage yet?" ”

Jiang Ruan's eyes swept and he saw that there was another person in the carriage. was slightly stunned, and after getting into the carriage, he realized that the person was none other than Yu Ya, the second grandmother of the Xia family.

At the beginning, Xiahou Mansion and Jiang Mansion were at odds because of Xia Jun's affairs. When the incident happened, Yu Ya hated Jiang Susu, but the Xia family was not stupid, as long as they thought about it a little, they could know who was arranging it. Xia Jun couldn't enter the office because of her, and Yu Ya couldn't bear it if she didn't kill her.

Shen Rou looked at Jiang Ruan, then at Jiang Susu, covered her mouth and laughed: "Master Shangshu is really blessed, the two girls are like jade and flowers." ”

"Yes," Yu Ya also said unprecedentedly: "The county lord now looks at it, and he is more elegant and peerless than three years ago. ”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, didn't answer, just looked at Yu Ya lightly. The two grandmothers of Xiahou Mansion, the eldest grandmother Shen Rou is a smiling tiger, she looks gentle and kind to everyone, and she is also beautiful, just look at what Xia Jiaojiao looks like, you can know what kind of character this grandmother is in private. And the second grandmother Yu Ya is mean and snarky, and the second master Xia is famous, if it weren't for the second grandmother who gave birth to a son for him, I am afraid that the second grandmother Xia would have already abolished her with a letter of resignation.

If this compliment came out of Shen Rou's mouth, there was no problem, but it came out of the mouth of the bitter Yu Ya, and Yu Ya was still in the same boat as her. It's weird in the end.

Yu Ya was looked at by Jiang Ruan's gaze, and said to Jiang Susu: "The second girl will definitely surprise the four today." ”

Jiang Susu smiled softly: "The second aunt has won the award." ”

……

All the way to the county guard's wife's house, nothing happened in the end, and when the carriage was dismounted, the slaves waiting outside came to greet them. led them all the way in, and there were indeed a lot of ladies and wives sitting in the hall, and the young ladies were all in the courtyard to admire the chrysanthemums. The county keeper was a lover of flowers, and a large area of the mansion was set aside to grow flowers. It was spacious enough, and it was enough for the young people to talk or talk in the courtyard.

It's just that the teenagers are in the West Garden, and the girls are in the East Courtyard, if there are people who come to see each other secretly, they don't mention it, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, others only don't know what they see, and the young people are always very tolerant on this day.

Mrs. County Shou got up to greet a few people, her eyes fell on Jiang Ruan, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and said, "The county lord of Hong'an really has a natural temperament, which really makes people jealous of Lord Jiang." ”

Jiang Susu was ignored like this, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart. found that most of the eyes of the people in the hall fell on Jiang Ruan, and they were a little suspicious for a while, suspecting that her charm had regressed, otherwise why didn't everyone look at her, but went to see Jiang Ruan?

She didn't know what to say, that charm is effective for men, but everyone here is the wife of an official family, how can she care if anyone is good-looking or not, Jiang Ruan is now the lord of Hong'an, there is a general's mansion behind him, and there is a god of war brother above, and everyone with a son on the seat is thinking about whether they can marry Jiang Ruan back as a daughter-in-law. Jiang Ruan was born noble, but he was born too beautiful, but the nobility of his actions suppressed the charming color, showing a little bit of atmosphere. The wives of the official family choose their daughters-in-law, and their looks are inferior, even if Jiang Ruansheng's appearance is unsalted, in the eyes of these ladies, they are also fragrant.

Mrs. County Shou also thought about this idea, she has two sons, and now it is the year of the weak crown, and it is time to marry a wife, now seeing that Jiang Ruan is more and more satisfied, and she wants to say a few more warm words, she can hear a crisp voice behind her: "Sister Ruan'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyes, but it was Zhao Jin who walked over from his seat and winked at her. Jiang Ruan bowed, Zhao Jin stepped forward and took her hand and said to Mrs. County Shou: "Madam, Sister Ruan Er and I went to the yard to take a look at the chrysanthemums, such beautiful chrysanthemums, Sister Ruan Er hasn't seen them yet." ”

Mrs. County Shou's words were in her throat, Shen Rou smiled suddenly, and said, "I also want to talk to Mrs., the little girl's house will go to the yard to play by herself." Susu, you can go with it. ”

Yu Ya frowned, glanced at Jiang Ruan, and still followed Shen Rou in the end.

Jiang Susu also smiled: "Okay." ”

The three of them walked out of the main hall together, and Jiang Susu said to Jiang Ruan: "Big sister and Miss Zhao should have a lot to say, so Su Niang left on her own first." She didn't want to stay with Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan always compared the brilliance on her body, how could she be willing? Besides, she still wants to go to the West Garden to see those teenagers, she doesn't believe it, with her beauty, can't she have more ministers under the skirt?

Looking at Jiang Susu's back, Zhao Jin said a little strangely: "That's not the direction of Xiyuan, what does your second sister want to do?" "Leave her alone." Jiang Ruan said.

"Hey, aren't you afraid that something will happen, and the people who turn around will say that Jiang Fu's is not?" Zhao Jin was even more strange. If she comes with her brothers in the family, her parents will inevitably mention that they will order a few brothers, and what they say will represent the head and face of the entire house.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, Zhao Jin's life is sincere, if the Jiang Mansion really collapses because of Jiang Susu, it would be a good thing, if she is crazy, she will take the initiative to clean up the mess for Jiang Susu and save face for the Jiang Mansion.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan didn't say anything, Zhao Jin didn't continue the topic, just looked at her and said, "You are relieved, we haven't seen each other for a long time." I wanted to talk to you. She looked outside and asked, "Would you like to see the chrysanthemums?" ”

Speaking of chrysanthemums, a trace of impatience flashed on Zhao Jin's face. She is the daughter of a military general's family, and she doesn't like flowers and plants, and she doesn't use it for other boudoir girls. As for the women in the courtyard who were clearly appreciating the flowers, they were actually competing for beauty, and it was even more noisy for her to have a headache, if it weren't for her own mother who wanted her to come here, Zhao Jin would never want to come.

Jiang Ruan knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her face, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I don't want to." ”

"Exactly, I don't want to." Zhao Jin was happy when he heard it: "I know that Sister Ruan and I are together." Let's go, let's find a secluded place and talk well. As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Ruan and walked in the opposite direction of the chrysanthemum.

Zhao Jin said to Jiang Ruan as he walked: "I haven't seen Ying'er for a long time, I met Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin the day before yesterday, she said that Ying'er was sick, and now she can't go out to suffer from the cold, and I don't know if she is better now." ”

Jiang Ruan lowered her eyes, Mrs. Dong really concealed Dong Yinger's affairs, and now Dong Yinger's portrait was sent to the palace to hide it from everyone. Zhao Jin was still a little puzzled when he talked about this: "Why did you suddenly get sick." I heard that the marriage contract between Chang Sangongzi and Ying'er was also dissolved, and I thought that the Chang family disliked Ying'er's weak body, and wanted to ask Chang An for an explanation, but I heard that ......" Zhao Jin has a big grinning temperament, and suddenly stopped talking about this, as if he understood that he had said something terrible. Raising his eyes to look at Jiang Ruan, seeing Jiang Ruan's smiling appearance, he asked tentatively, "Do you know what to do?" ”

Zhilu said. Mrs. Dong talked to me and hoped that I would persuade Sister Ying'er not to use her mind on unrealistic things. ”

Zhao Jin sighed: "I grew up with Ying'er, she is simple-minded and doesn't know anything, but Sister Ruan knows who is the person in Ying'er's heart?" ”

Jiang Ruan smiled: "I don't know." ”

Zhao Jin sighed: "I just hope she will figure it out earlier." There is also Feifei, her family has already chosen a parent, and she will only wait for the year to pass through the door, which can be regarded as a good match, a military general in Beijing. ”

Wen Feifei is also from a martial arts family, and now it is time to get married. Jiang Ruan asked, "How is Sister Lin?" ”

"Zixiang," Zhao Jin said with a smile: "She is a stubborn person, she should have come today, but she had a big quarrel with Lord Lin in the mansion, saying that she must not learn that pedantic style, if she wants to find a good person, she must be the good person she identifies." ”

Hearing this is indeed Lin Zixiang's shocking temperament, but I don't know how many times Lord Lin will have a headache again. The two had already walked to a quiet place, and Jiang Ruan asked, "Sister Zhao, have you ever thought about finding someone?" ”

"Me?" Zhao Jin shook his head: "I don't want to be like the woman in the boudoir, marrying her husband, and being in the house all day long is a trivial matter." I only want to go into battle like my father and brother to kill the enemy and protect the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

It's not like a woman can say this, but Zhao Jin has always been raised by his father and brother to have a tomboy-like temper, but he is a little arrogant. Zhao Jin seemed to have thought of something, his expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "It's just ......." ”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyes to look at her.

Zhao Jin thought for a while, approached her and said, "Sister Ruan, I fell in love with you, so I will tell you a secret matter, you can't tell you about it." ”

Jiang Ruan nodded.

"That day, the Jin Kingdom seemed to have colluded with southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang sent reinforcements, and the war has been tense in the past few days, and the emperor has issued a death order, as if he wants to increase his troops." Zhao Jin pressed her ear and said: "My father has received the emperor's secret order, and he will go on the expedition in a few days. ”

Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned in her heart, Zhao Jin had already let go of her, and looked into the distance with some gloom: "I have a body of martial arts, and I can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but I can't share anything for my father." I'm really ashamed. ”

Jiang Ruan was about to comfort her a few words, when she suddenly heard a strange voice from the depths of the peach forest in the quiet garden in front of her. The voice was extremely low, if it weren't for Zhao Jin's voice being lowered at this moment, the sound would have been masked.
