The summer is hot, and the cicadas outside the window are constantly chirping.

The scorching sun casts dappled light and shadow through the treetops.

Occasionally, a breeze blew into the room, all of which seemed to carry a dull heat.

"Miss......" Fennel hesitated while fanning Xia Ruan, "It's getting hotter and hotter this day." ”

Xia Ruan held the wolf pen in his hand and continued to write, without the slightest intention of stopping, and only replied after half a ring: "Hmm." ”

Fennel had some irritation between her eyebrows, and she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

She couldn't be too obvious.

Now that the young lady has written to her to see it, it means that the young lady believes in her.

However, it's so stuffy outside, how can Young Master Nan stand it?

At this time, Xia Ruan picked up the written letter and glanced at it slightly, shook his head a little dissatisfied, grabbed it in a ball and threw it on the ground.

Fennel's heart is getting more and more troubled, and all the paper balls are thrown all over the ground, when will this letter be written?

And it's written back and forth in just a few sentences.

Fennel deliberately stopped what she was doing, took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the sweat stains on her forehead, and said softly, "It's so hot." ”

Xia Ruan paused and looked at Fennel thoughtfully: "It's a little stuffy, you go and tell Ai Ye to remember to take out the ice cubes in the ice cellar and put them in Ah Rui and his mother's room." Then make some desserts and send them to my mother and father. ”

After speaking, Xia Ruan continued the movements in his hands.

Fennel was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but say any longer: "Miss, the young master of the Nan family has been standing outside for an hour." ”

Xia Ruan's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard Fennel's words clearly.

"Miss." Fennel raised her voice. "The young master of the Nan family has been standing outside for an hour."

Xia Ruan looked at the rice paper in front of him thoughtfully: "Are you distressed?" ”

Fennel's face turned pale in an instant, and she almost didn't hold the fan embroidered with peonies in her hand.

Did Miss Mo Fei know? Impossible, if Miss knew, then Miss should have kicked her out of the house, why would she still stay by her side? How could she let Jiang Tuo help her take care of her sister.

"If you like the young master of the Nan family." Xia Ruan put down the wolf pen and smiled lightly, "I have a way to let him take you as a concubine." ”

Fennel was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Is that what Miss was thinking?

I don't know how long it took for Xia Ruan to laugh, "Teasing you." Why don't you speak? It's really distressed. “

"Miss." Fennel pretends to be shy. "You joke about the slave maid, where is the slave and maid distressed, the slave maid is just thinking about the young lady."

Xia Ruan looked at Fennel with a smile and picked up the tea cup on the side. After thinking about it, he said, "Since you don't feel distressed." Then let him continue to stand outside. I don't like the people of the Nan family. ”

Fennel never thought that the young lady, who had always been polite, would do this.

If the Nan family stood outside for too long, then the Lord would blame her for failing to do so.

Fennel was in a hurry. Then he said tentatively: "Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, if the young lady doesn't see the young master of the Nan family, then how will the people outside spread it?" said that the young lady was arrogant, and would also say that the Xia family was not. I saw that the young master of the Nan family brought a lot of things over this time, and he sincerely wanted to talk to the young lady. ”

The current situation of the Nan family is not optimistic.

Xiao Jiu found out why the water nobles had an accident this time, but Emperor Jianguang still didn't seem to trust Xiao Jiu enough, and after Xiao Jiu left Kyoto, he sent people again to continue to investigate. In the past few days, the officials who came and went from the Nan family made the Nan family anxious like ants on a hot pot. This is a big crime that will turn around if you don't pay attention to it, and all the Nan family can think of is that Xiao Jiu is making trouble behind his back.

And some people privately told the Nan family that there was actually a problem with the tea in the palace this time, and these problematic teas happened to be a batch of new tea sent by the Nan family from Danyang County.

As soon as the Nan family bought the tea garden from Xia Ruan, something like this happened, and when the Nan family thought of Xiao Jiu, they would also think of Xia Ruan.

Now Xiao Jiuyuan is in Los Angeles, so the person who can help the Nan family is naturally Xia Ruan.

In fact, the Nan family had asked someone else for help a few days ago, but who could talk to the arrogant Concubine An? After thinking about it, the Nan family had to choose to bow their heads.

It's just that the Nan family never thought that Xia Ruan would be so faceless.

Nan Jianchun came for three days in a row, and Xia Ruan said that he was not sick.

If Xia Ruan was really sick, then Nan Jianchun would feel more or less comfortable. But someone told Nan Jianchun that Xia Ruan ate well and slept well, her face was ruddy, her body was very good, and she did not feel the slightest discomfort at all.

After hearing this, Nan Jianchun almost lost his breath.

Nan Jianchun asked someone to find fennel today, gave fennel a hundred taels of silver, and asked him to see Xia Ruan.

Fennel will remind Xia Ruan again and again.

After all, today's fennel needs silver very much, and Xu's mother has been making trouble with her in the outer courtyard, she mentioned this matter in front of Xia Ruan, but Xia Ruan didn't hear it every time, just smiled and said no. Fennel didn't dare to say too much, after all, being a young lady hates people fighting back and forth.

For the Lord, Fennel only said once, and the Lord told her to cause less trouble.

Fennel was not mentioned.

If she doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean that she will spare Mother Xu.

"Miss?" Fennel reminded again, "Is it really gone?" Or go and let him go. ”

Xia Ruan smiled lightly this time: "Let him go, I'm not there." ”

Fennel looked at Xia Ruan in astonishment.

Really not?

If Xia Ruan didn't see Nan Jianchun, wouldn't this silver have to be returned?

Fennel naturally didn't want to return the silver with both hands, and some sweat broke out on her anxious forehead, and she bit her lower lip: "Miss, even if it's for me, you can meet him." ”

"You're really distressed." Xia Ruan's smile was a little faint this time, and he said lightly, "If there is anything else to hide from me, don't worry, I will tell the young master of the Nan family this." You are the one next to me, and he will answer. ”

Fennel didn't know how to justify at this time, she only wanted silver.

And Nan Jianchun's concubine will not choose her, even if Xia Ruan thinks she loves Nan Jianchun. It doesn't matter.

Besides, she hadn't seen Nan Jianchun, so she didn't know what she looked like.

Fennel nodded lightly, but didn't notice Xia Ruan's smile, a little indifferent.

Xia Ruan crumpled the letter written on the table again: "Go, let him come in, wait for me in the side hall." ”

Fennel breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned: "The slave and maid will go now." ”

Xia Ruan rubbed her eyebrows, she let people release the news a few days ago, and it seems that it still works.

Liuzi and Chongli are people who are rolling on the rivers and lakes, especially Chongli, who has a lot of connections. She makes people let the wind out. said that this time there was actually a problem with Concubine An Guifei's tea in the palace. This tea happens to be the tea of Danyang County.

People are the same, the Nan family will definitely not believe it at first, but after a long time, the Nan family can't help but believe it.

After all, the slightest carelessness is a great sin to exterminate the Nine Clans.

How terrible the rumors are. Xia Ruan knew it clearly. Over time, people will come to take rumors as facts.

The Nanjia is no exception.

Step out of the house. The oncoming heat made Xia Ruan couldn't help but pause.

Nan Jianchun can stand outside the house for an hour, is it too short?

Thinking of this, Xia Ruan smiled. He walked towards the side hall.

At this time, Nan Jianchun gave fennel another fifty taels of silver, and the white brocade robe on his body was already wet with sweat, and he lost the appearance of a noble son on weekdays, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Thank you, girl." Nan Jianchun had to bow his head at this time, "A small meaning is not a respect." ”

Fennel glanced at Nan Jianchun, who was sweating profusely at this time, but he could still see that he was handsome.

Thinking of Xia Ruan's words, she lowered her head shyly: "Young Master Nan is polite." ”

Nan Jianchun naturally didn't notice Fennel's eyes, and just smiled faintly.

Fennel thought for a while, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Nan Jianchun: "Young Master Nan......"

"Yikes." Xia Ruan walked in from outside the door at this time, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the smile on his face was a little more, "Am I coming at the wrong time?" ”

Nan Jianchun took Fennel's handkerchief awkwardly, he didn't want to offend Fennel at this time, after all, there were not many Yahuan close to Xia Ruan in this mansion. These maids are loyal to Xia Ruan, and the only person who can buy them is Fennel.

If it were on weekdays, Nan Jianchun would definitely spit on a delusional subordinate like Fennel, but this time is different from the past.

He had a request for Xia Ruan.

The third lady laughed. Nan Jianchun smiled lightly, "I'm sorry to disturb the third lady today." ”

Xia Ruan sat on the chair on the side of him without turning a deaf ear, and said softly: "Young Master Nan is here to see Fennel, so you don't have to report it to me." If Young Master Nan likes fennel, then it's okay to give fennel a name, but fennel is ...... old now."

Nan Jianchun looked at Xia Ruan in astonishment.

The room was a little suffocating for a moment.

Nan Jianchun smiled faintly: "The third lady misunderstood, I am looking for you today, and I want to discuss something with you." ”

Xia Ruan showed a look of sudden realization: "Young Master Nan, my property in Xicheng will not be sold, but if you pay five times the price, I can sell it to you." It's just that if you want to buy it now, you can go to the willow steward, and let the willow steward come and talk to you about these things. ”

Xia Ruan's words, the angry Nan Jianchun clenched his fists.

She must have done it on purpose.

The Nan family still has the idea of going to Xicheng now, and he may not be able to look down on those broken places to give him, but Xia Ruan treats them as treasures, and asks him to pay five times the price, is this person crazy?

However, Nan Jianchun quickly thought about the fact that he sold back Danyang County tea and Zhuangzi from Xia Ruan's hands, and they lost a lot of silver, not to mention. Now that he has not yet won the favor of Concubine An, such a thing has come out.

Nan Jianchun licked his dry lips: "Can the third young lady let her subordinates...... Retire. ”

Xia Ruan pretended to be surprised, then she glanced at Fennel and smiled helplessly: "Fennel, then you step back first." ”

Fennel retreated with some disappointment.

She thought about it, in fact, what Xia Ruan said was also good.

Nan Jianchun has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she is the future head of the Nan family, if she can marry Nan Jianchun as a concubine, it is better than being wronged in the Xia family.

And at that time, it was a lot easier for her to deal with Xu's mother.

Thinking of this, Fennel couldn't help but glance back at Nan Jianchun.

Maybe...... (To be continued......)
