Chapter 18: Pain and Happiness

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

Soon it's the Spring Festival, hanging peach charms, eating rice cakes, glutinous rice, very lively, not like modern times, deserted, has lacked the taste of the New Year.

Lan Ruo is also wearing a honey-colored cotton jacket, rose-purple two-color gold and silver thread shoulders, and a green onion and yellow silk cotton skirt lying on the soft floor, lined with white and tender, and holding a warm pot in her hand, with a pot of hot tea next to her, which is very comfortable.

"Miss, there are New Year's paintings and clay figurines outside, why don't you go out for a walk?" Banyue walked in with a happy face and said.

"Don't go, it's such a cold day, what to go shopping, it's better to read a book in the house." Lan Ruoyi drank tea, she didn't want to move at all, she was most afraid of the cold, in winter, she couldn't go out without going out, it turned out that her subordinates privately called themselves hibernation beauties.

Banyue heard that there was a little lack of interest here, and Lan Ruo also saw it and added: "You can go out with Xiao Tao and them by yourself, just say that I approve it, so that I can be clean and clean." ”

Banyue was very happy when she heard this, she knew that the young lady was actually making an excuse to let herself go out to play, so she thanked her and walked out.

Lan Ruoyi heard the companion who had just walked out and shouted happily to Xiao Tao and they went out, Lan Ruoyi thought to herself that she was really still a child, and she liked to be lively the most.

After thinking about it, I continued to read the book, and I watched the drama, which said: The down-and-out poor scholar inadvertently picked up the headdress of the young lady, and then searched hard, and then the two met, and talked about the wind and snow, poetry and songs, and the young lady admired the scholar's demeanor even more, and the scholar was also attracted by the talent of the young lady, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the young lady's father knew about it, and it was forbidden to let them meet, and the scholar and the young lady could only secretly date, but the eldest brother of the young lady found out, and after the scholar was messed up, the two could only wait like a cowherd and a weaver girl.

The scholar decided to work hard for the beloved woman, his head hung on the beam, and he was finally admitted to the champion a year later.

Lan Ruoyi felt very wonderful after reading it, although it was a happy ending, but it still reflected the reality that the strong bullied the weak in this society, and the weak will never be recognized.

But Lan Ruoyi still has a trace of yearning in her heart, and she doesn't know if her love can be as sweet and happy as written in the book.

In this way, Lan Ruo also used the book to pass his time, and before he knew it, he knew that he remembered the crisp voices of a few little girls outside with the moon, so he put down the book.

Banyue came in with a red face from the cold, and he was still holding a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, wrapped in a package.

"Miss, the slave met Duanmu Gongzi outside, and he asked the slave to hand this over to a young lady." After speaking, he handed the box in his hand to Lan Ruoyi.

Lan Ruoyi took it and put it on the small table, and didn't plan to look at it now, but looked at Banyue and smiled: "Is it fun outside?" Look at you happy. ”

"Miss, it's a pity that you didn't go, it's lively outside, and there is a lion dance, today there is a boss's daughter throwing hydrangea on a blind date, not to mention how spectacular the scene is, a lot of young talents have gone, the slave maid watched it on the side, the young lady has a mediocre appearance, it is estimated that everyone fell in love with the son-in-law who came to the door to go, and it is not even one thousandth of the young lady."

Banyue excitedly talked about everything that happened on the road.

"You, okay, play and play, go wash your face, don't frostbite yourself." Lan Ruoyi also liked this feeling.

"Oh, miss, this is what the slave bought for the young lady on the road, the slave and the maid have eaten it, but it is sweet, and the slave and the maid have retired." Banyue put down the rock sugar gourd in his hand and walked out.

Lan Ruoyi smiled, looked at the box on the side, and opened it with a light sigh.

There is a plum blossom style ceramic hairpin inside, the style is exquisite, it can be called the top grade, and there is a piece of paper inside, Lan Ruo also opened it to see: "The love of plum blossoms, the dark fragrance floats." ”

During this time, Duanmu said that he always invited himself to participate in tea parties, or went to Qingqing, no matter how bad it was, he met and gave gifts everywhere, and he couldn't avoid it.

Just because in the last poetry meeting he asked what flowers he liked, after he explained, he sent plum blossoms, and now his storeroom is full of plum blossom style things he sent, what vases, calligraphy and paintings, and today he sent hairpins.

Lan Ruoyi looked at the hairpin, and the boy who smiled stupidly at himself came to mind, he also gave himself a hairpin, which he has always treasured, remembering the sentence "Wait for me", Lan Ruoyi also smiled slightly, the former teenager doesn't know what to do now.

Lan Ruo also turned his head to look at the heavy snow outside the window, missing someone.

Dinner

The family sat happily at the dinner table and ate, breaking the previous quiet, because it was the New Year, it was rare for Lan's father to speak: "In this year, our family is still very good, Yi'er's talent has been improved, I can hear the words of praise for our daughter every time I go out, Daddy, I am very pleased, I will say, how can the daughter of our Lan family not have the ability to be a talented woman." ”

"It's my father and mother who taught me well." Lan Ruo was also a little embarrassed to praise herself like this.

Father Lan nodded happily, turned to the two brothers and said: "You two are not bad, continue to work hard, this little girl will be 16 after the New Year, Hongxin will be ready to prepare when the time comes, let's go to the door to propose marriage, marry early and rest assured." ”

"Hmm." Lan Hongxin also responded with a happy face.

"As for Hongwen, you see that your brother is going to get married, you are as old as your brother, you also have to consider it, is there anyone you like, say it and let your parents give you reference." Father Lan said to Lan Hongwen again.

"That's right, Hongwen, tell me about my mother." Lan Mu also asked expectantly.

Lan Hongwen knew that he must talk about himself, and said helplessly: "Dad, mother, don't worry about my business, I don't want to get married now, I still want to do a good job in my career." ”

"You can't say that, if there is a good virtuous helper to help you, you will be more relaxed, I think Miss Nawan is good, knowledgeable, and a good girl." Father Lan felt that his proposal was good.

'Poof', Lan Ruo couldn't help laughing.

Everyone looked at her.

"It's okay, it's okay, that's it, second brother, Sister Wan is very good, why don't you try." Lan Ruo also said to his second brother.

Lan Hongwen looked at this sister who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, held his head and said, "Let's talk about it, let's eat and eat, let's talk later." He looked at his eldest brother for help.

Lan Hongxin looked at this younger brother who looked like him and looked at him in embarrassment, so he had to answer and say: "Well, father, mother, it's still early, besides, I'm about to get married, let the second brother make him happy as he wants, he has his own plans, let's not embarrass him, come on, eat." ”

Lan's father and Lan's mother still want to say something, and it's right to think about it in the end, the son has always had his own ideas, no matter what.

Instead, he said: "Well, let's go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to pay a New Year's greeting, you all get up early, don't be lazy, and it seems that the kid Quan Le is also back, and I don't know what has become of him." ”

"He's back, so I'm going to have two drinks with him tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time, and you want me to say ............"

“……………………”

Lan Ruo didn't participate in their discussion, just thinking: he's back.
