Ruan Anmei was slightly stunned, first subconsciously looked at Liang Yi, saw her pursed her lips and smiled at herself, very gratifying, and saw her hand stretched out slightly, Ruan Anmei saw that she was also wearing a jade bracelet of similar quality on her hand, she was also relieved in her heart, and smiled back at Liang Yi. But instead of taking the jade bracelet directly, she turned her gaze to her mother. Seeing Zhao's slight bow, she stretched out her hand and was about to take it, but Mrs. Liang held her hand lightly and personally helped her put it on.

Ruan Anmei couldn't help blushing slightly, thinking of the young man she saw that day, she was even more shy, Mrs. Liang looked at her lowered eyes and reddish eartips, and her heart was even more satisfied.

Mrs. Liang helped Ruan Anmei put on the bracelet, put her down and let her stand aside, and smiled lovingly at the other sisters in a blink of an eye: "Were you frightened that day?" I have heard Sister Yi say that you sisters are united, advance and retreat in a certain way, and they are all good children. ”

They are all fighting in groups, and they are still in and out, Mrs. Liang, you are really good at talking, An Jin said with some amusement, but she was very happy for Ruan Anmei in her heart, and finally came out of the shadow of the Liu family.

Ruan Anmei was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said: "I couldn't protect my sister, and I was really ashamed to rely on my sister." ”

Mrs. Liang shook her head and said to Ruan Anmei with a smile: "What stupid words, you have done a good job, you sisters are so friendly, I don't know how much to envy your mother." After speaking, he flattered Zhao a few more words.

Mrs. Liang's arrival made the Zhao family very happy, and the Zhao family felt that Mrs. Liang could still come to visit the mansion even though her family had offended the eldest princess's mansion, and still interested in Ruan Anmei, she was really a loving and righteous family.

Actually, it's a wonderful misunderstanding. Liang Guang, the secretary of Dali Temple, is a close minister of the emperor's majesty and is deeply trusted by the emperor, so the Liang family will not be afraid of an eldest princess who is not the emperor's heart at all. But the Liang family was born in a humble family, and they need to marry to improve their family and become one of the nobles in Kyoto.

But it is clear that marrying with the powerful prince's family may not be able to climb the well-educated concubine, and secondly, he is worried that the princess's daughter is arrogant and luxurious, and is unwilling to marry the Liang family, who is still shallow. The Ruan family has declined and has long been separated from the court, but the daughter of the second room of the Ruan family is of noble blood, and she is inextricably linked with the top nobles, which is suitable for marriage, and Mrs. Liang saw that Ruan Anmei was generous, strict in rules, and gentle and virtuous, so she liked it very much.

Mrs. Liang and Zhao talked more and more tacitly, and the more they talked, the more satisfied they became, but they couldn't wait to settle the marriage immediately, but the children were still young, and the marriage was not sloppy.

At the beginning of August, the news of Zhao's pregnancy spread, and Ruan Anzheng returned home from the palace, and at the same time brought a large number of gifts from Concubine Zhao's mother. This signal is very delicate for the noble family of Kyoto, because Concubine Zhao has not asked about foreign affairs for a long time, even if the Zhao family of the Shunguo Mansion rarely rewards anything on the surface, they finally remembered that the second lady of the Ruan family was also the niece of the Zhao family that the concubine Zhao liked very much, and then contacted the news of the fight between the daughter of the Ruan family and the young lady of the eldest princess's mansion some time ago, it will always make people think about it.

After Ruan Anzheng returned home, the whole person looked much calmer.

On this day, not only did Ruan Anzheng return to Houfu, but Ruan Er, who had been teaching at Jinhua Academy on the mountain, heard that his wife was pregnant, so he also rushed back to Houfu on this day, so in order to welcome Ruan Anzheng and Ruan Er's home, dinner became a family banquet in Houfu.

But even on such days, An Jin could not get out of Mr. Min's hard training, and it was not until dinner time that An Jin saw his third sister Ruan An Zheng.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the main courtyard, where screens were set up and men and women were seated separately. The old lady of the family, the eldest lady, the second lady, the eldest young lady, the second young lady, Ruan Anshu of the big room and the five sisters of the second room and Liu Huanzhu, a total of twelve people sat down in two seats, originally the junior daughters-in-law were going to serve the old lady and the ladies to eat, the two young ladies were pregnant, the old lady was compassionate, and they were all exempted, saying that everyone should sit down and eat together and be lively.

In the past, the old lady sat with the owners of the big house, with Ruan Antong and Liu Huanzhu next to them, and the second room was for the Zhao family to sit with the remaining daughters, and occasionally there would be other relatives and daughters together.

This time, the old lady said that it was rare for the sisters to be there, and she wanted to be with the juniors, so she pulled Ruan Antong to sit next to her, and on the other side was still sitting Ruan Antong, who had always been her favorite, and the rest of the sisters except Ruan Antan were all sitting at this table.

Ruan Antan said that he wanted to serve his mother, so he sat at another table, and sat with the eldest lady, the eldest young lady, the second young lady and Liu Huanzhu. It's just that the atmosphere at this table is really not ordinary weird, everyone is either sitting in danger or waiting for the pregnant women around them as if nothing happened, only Liu Huanzhu looks particularly out of place. The eldest lady Cui Shi looked at her as if she was looking at a piece of sand, and she didn't have zài at all.

The atmosphere at the old lady's table was obviously much better, and the old lady pulled Ruan Anzheng at the beginning and said lovingly: "It's only been less than a month, and my sister has lost weight like this, isn't she used to it in the palace?" As he spoke, he pointed to the dishes on the table, "These are your favorite foods, and I specially ordered the kitchen to make them, so you have to eat more when you go home." ”

However, she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to speak like this, and nodded with a pleased smile and said, "But although you have lost some weight, Sister Zheng'er, your complexion is good, and your bearing is getting better and better. ”

Ruan Anzheng's face remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly without a trace of impatience: "Grandmother has always known that her granddaughter has a bitter summer, and her appetite is not particularly good, so the concubine Niangniang also specially instructed the cook to make soup for her granddaughter every day, so although she has lost some weight, her complexion is fine." ”

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this palace is too powerful to transform people, and I don't know what sins the three sisters have suffered these days, and then I think of the inexplicable jade pendant, and I can't help but feel sorry in my heart.

"Third sister, is it good-looking in the palace? I heard that the palace is bigger than the Dali Imperial Village, and it is full of exotic flowers and plants, is it true? Ruan Antong suddenly interjected on the side, she opened her round eyes, her eyes were half curious and half envious, and she also had two shallow dimples on her slightly baby fat face, which was indescribably cute and cute.

Ruan Antong glanced at her, looking at this delicate face, another face involuntarily floated in front of her, and a trace of disgust flashed in her heart, thinking that this was her sister, she hurriedly put aside this strange feeling, and said to Ruan Antong seriously with a light smile: "It is indeed much bigger, but the place where you can move around is very small, there are many nobles in the palace, and the rules are strict, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not collide with the nobles." He paused for a moment and thought for a while, "Strange flowers and plants, presumably the nobles in the palace should also plant them, but the concubine Niangniang prefers simplicity and elegance and does not love these, I have not seen them." Speaking of this, thinking of the overwhelming Lingxiao flowers in the Fang Partridge Palace, there was a chill in my heart.

Ruan Antong pursed his lips in disappointment, and then Ruan Anshu on the side said softly: "The Dali Huangzhuang is already so big, it is even bigger than the Dali Huangzhuang, and when you look at it from a distance on the mountain, the palace is majestic, and it is already very majestic, I don't know what kind of majesty it should be when you look closely." Also, I heard that the ladies in the palace are as beautiful as fairies, and the jewelry and clothes are also very chic and beautiful, and every time something is popular in Beijing, it seems that it flows out of the palace. As soon as she said this, Ruan Antong's eyes immediately lit up again.

The old lady shook her head and said with a smile: "Look at this uninsightful appearance, speaking of which is also Miss Houfu, I think it, next time Sister Zheng'er, you still have to take them to the palace for a walk, otherwise it will be a shame to say it." "In fact, the old lady is the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, and every year during the New Year, she also wants to enter the palace to meet the queen, but she follows everyone to the scene, there is no special will, it is inconvenient to bring the young daughter of the family to attend, and she can only stay outside to wait, and she can't enter the court to see, let alone walk at will, so the old lady has never brought her granddaughter into the palace.

Ruan Anzheng didn't take this well, how did she know what chance she could have to bring her sisters into the palace, so she had to smile, and only said with Ruan Anshu's words: "The sixth sister likes palace flower jewelry, and my sister doesn't have good things, but she took some newly made palace flower beads from the palace Shangfu Bureau, which was originally meant to be distributed to the sisters, and she didn't have time to send it over, I think I still don't send it over, why don't the sixth sister come over tomorrow and personally choose some of the favorite ones to take." ”

Ruan Anshu hurriedly responded with a smile and said, "Just now my grandmother said that I didn't know anything, but now I don't look like I haven't seen it, it looks like Baba is looking for the third sister for jewelry." ”

This made everyone laugh, because Ruan Anshu blocked the inkstone for Ruan Anmei, everyone had to be affectionate to her on the surface, no, people still had strips of cloth wrapped around their heads and didn't remove them.

After the dinner, everyone only laughed for a while, and the old lady said: "The second child and Sister Zheng are all back home today, and the boat is tired, and Sister Shu is not tired, so it is better to rest early." Then he ordered everyone to disperse early.

In the evening, An Jin specially took Biluo and Xue Qing to Ruan Anzheng's courtyard together, and personally held a brocade box in his hand. Ruan Anzheng was a little tired, but he was still very happy to see his little sister coming, but he was a little surprised when he saw An Geun coming over with a brocade box, and while calling Yahuan to make tea, he welcomed An Geun to the inner hall and sat down.

An Jin didn't say anything to test Ruan Anzheng, sat down and waited for Yahuan to serve tea, gently put the brocade box on the table, and between the two, he said directly to Ruan Anzheng: "Third sister, I haven't seen you for many days, I have some private things I want to tell you, can you let the Yahuan retreat first?" ”
