Chapter 13: Letters
"Little sister!" After eating, Lan Hongwen angrily pulled Lan Ruoyi to his residence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lan Ruo also looked at the second brother who was completely different from his usual gentle and elegant image, a little regretful, and a little dark, it turned out to be so funny.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
"You dare to ask me what's wrong? What do you say about Wanxinyu? Lan Hongwen didn't come out of place, waiting for Lan Ruoyi's answer.
"What's going on, Sister Wan is the pianist my father invited to me, and she teaches her well." Lan Ruo also said lightly.
Lan Hongwen held his forehead, his anger and headache, why didn't he find that his little sister was so able to toss.
"I mean, you know the relationship between her and me, why do you still bring people home, how can I go home in the future, I don't care, you go and tell your father that you regret it."
Lan Ruoyi looked at the second brother who was about to jump with a smile, and said, "Oh, how can I do it, I'll say it, okay, second brother, in fact, Sister Wan is not as bad as you think, you just have the wrong first impression of her." ”
"Even if I had a little bit of my own misunderstanding about her, but if she hadn't done it so explicitly, would I have done it? The sages once said........."
"Don't don't, second brother, don't talk about those big truths, what kind of woman wants to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, be gentle and virtuous, know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why should you use these rules and regulations in life to bind yourself, what kind of life you want can decide for yourself."
Lan Ruo also very much disagrees that women must live the same thing, even in ancient times, they can have their own character.
Lan Hongwen listened to what the little sister said, and was a little surprised, although the little sister was not raised in the deep boudoir, but she had not been in contact with too many outsiders and things, how could she say such a profound insight.
"I'm not saying that women have to be like that, it's just that she's really an outlier among women, it's too unconventional, but it's disgusting."
Lan Ruo also opened his mouth and didn't say anything, yes, ancient and modern times are different, even if the atmosphere here is slightly open, but there are still too many unfairness and disapproval for women, in fact, even if the equality between men and women advocated in modern times is not completely done, there are too many places that favor sons over women.
The atmosphere was a little awkward flowing between the two, Lan Ruoyi sighed, thinking of the woman who was smiling in the sun that day, such a beautiful visual experience, she really wished the second brother could see it.
"Everyone has another side that others don't understand, maybe, there will be surprises, okay, anyway, things are like this, there will always be encounters, I just hope that the second brother will not turn a blind eye, she is actually a good girl."
Lan Hongwen looked at the little sister who was suddenly sentimental, confused, thought about it, and nodded.
Lan Ruo, who returned to Xuanruo Courtyard, was obviously not in a state, she sat on the bed, reflecting on whether she had done something wrong, she was essentially a modern person, and she couldn't always look at everything from the eyes of a modern person.
Hey, be careful in the future, even in front of family and friends, don't be so turbulent.
Banyue saw that her young lady was thinking about things, so she thought about going to the bookkeeper to collect the monthly money.
As I passed by the little garden, I heard this passage:
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"What?"
"It's the prime minister's son Zhao Dagongzi, who seems to be infected with Hualiu disease, it is impossible for everyone to know about such an obscure thing, but I don't know who I offended, and I posted an announcement on the notice board at our city gate."
"Really? is so unlucky, if you want to say that it is also retribution, this Zhao Gongzi eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, a playboy, and now it is good, it hurts others and hurts himself, thank you for the person who reported it. ”
"Hehe, that's right, now the Prime Minister's Mansion is in a hurry to go to the doctor everywhere, although this has been reported, but we can't talk nonsense, and we won't tell others."
"I don't want to tell anyone else."
“……………….”
Banyue listened to the voice that was getting farther and farther away, and her heart was very happy, this is called evil retribution for wicked people, hmph, I want to tell this news to Miss.
Banyue didn't go to collect the money anymore, and hurriedly walked back again.
Lan Ruoyi was still thinking about the rest of her life, when she heard Banyue's shout, she reacted and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss, it's a good thing, it's Zhao Gongzi, the son of the prime minister who injured Miss last time, and now he has that kind of private illness, and the announcement has been posted, he really deserves it, if it weren't for him, Miss wouldn't have been injured." Banyue said excitedly.
"Oh? With such things, it seems that if you do too many bad things, there must be retribution, which is true, there are quite a few people who hate him. Lan Ruoyi suddenly heard the news, and felt that this Zhao Hui had been relying on himself as the son of the prime minister, and he did all kinds of evil, and now God couldn't stand it.
"That's it." Banyue said with a look of agreement.
"Okay, let's not mention this kind of thing, we just need to know." Lan Ruo also reminded.
"Yes, the slave knows."
This matter is only a small part of life that is not painful, and Lan Ruoyi didn't take it to heart at all, nor did she think about it.
And so time passed in a boring pastime, one day a few months later.
Wearing a long white dress, flowing and free, Lan Ruo also sat in the courtyard, with a guqin in front of her, and played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" with a relaxed expression.
The music is ups and downs, melodious and tactful, pure and beautiful.
Banyue hurriedly walked over and said.
"Miss, there is your letter, it seems that it was sent by Gongzi Quan."
The song stopped abruptly, making Banyue regret it, and the sound of the young lady's piano was so pleasant no matter how many times she listened to it.
Lan Ruoyi's eyes moved, she hadn't heard this name for a long time, since the last goodbye, she was also busy practicing the piano and practicing calligraphy, but she didn't think about him, she didn't know him......... Good no good?
Lan Ruoyi walked into the room with the letter, sat on the couch and opened it quietly:
"Yi'er:
Zhan Xin'an, after a farewell, the suspense between the two places. Say goodbye to you, more than three months, never see you, my heart is related, I can't help myself, full of lovesickness.
My soldiers are also, although tired, but learn a lot, exercise a lot, I don't know what you are? Is it as I remember you?
The text is short and long, the words are poor and the love cannot end, and there are thousands of unfinished things, not to mention it? The Book of Waiting.
Happy"
Lan Ruoyi smiled and shook his head, such an explicit confession, only Quan Le can say it, he is too possessive.
But I am also looking forward to it in my heart, after half a year of ancient life, Lan Ruo is no longer nostalgic for the modern age, but seriously being an ancient, and there will also be the shyness and subtlety of the youngest daughter's family.
After reading it a few more times, Lan Ruoyi walked into the study, picked up the pen and thought about it, wrote a reply letter, dried it and carefully folded it into the envelope, and handed it to Banyue.
