The sisters first accompanied the Zhao family for dinner, and then served the Zhao family to sleep, and then each went back to their own courtyard.

Ruan Antong hesitated for a while after the sisters returned to the courtyard, and then turned back to the Zhao family's courtyard. The little girl in the Zhao family's courtyard saw Miss Wu turn back, thinking that she had pulled something down, and hurriedly welcomed her back to the house.

Zhao's eldest girl Huan Ruyi asked, Ruan Antong only said that she had left the veil in front of Zhao's bed, and wanted to look for it, but she was worried about her mother, and by the way, she wanted to see her mother again. Ruyi hesitated a little, Zhao had already fallen asleep, if it was usual, he might still give Zhao, but now the situation is special, the second lady specially told Mrs. When she sleeps, no one is allowed to disturb her.

Just as Ruyi was thinking about persuading the fifth lady not to disturb the Zhao family's rest and come to visit tomorrow morning, the voice of Zhao's henchman Fu Mama came from inside, "Ruyi, which sister is it?" But it was Zhao who was unwell and didn't fall asleep, and when he heard the shallow girl talking outside, he told Mama Fu to ask out loud.

Ruyi hurriedly lifted the curtain in the inner room and replied in a low voice: "Trouble Mama, Second Lady, it's the Fourth Miss who wants to come over and see if Madame have you rested." ”

Zhao was feeling bored, and when he heard that his third daughter was coming, he sat up and said, "Let my sister come in and talk." Ruyi listened, and hurriedly welcomed Ruan Antong into the inner room. Mama Fu ordered her to stay aside, and she personally took the second-class Yahuan to smell the fragrance to check the fetal decoction that she had caught not long ago, and ordered the little Yahuan to make new tea for Ruan Antong.

Ruan Antong sat in front of her mother's bed, not as coquettish as usual, but a rare state of anxiety on weekdays. Seeing this, Zhao thought that his daughter was worried about herself, and comforted her: "Tong'er, my mother is fine, this is normal, which lady is pregnant, the doctor is all right and right, just in case." ”

Ruan Antong raised his eyes to look at Zhao, and saw that Zhao's tone was rare and gentle, his hand pressed his abdomen, and the smile on his face was satisfied and happy, for some reason, this smile was like a needle piercing Ruan Antong's heart, and the young and thin tingling sensation quickly spread in his heart, and it occupied the entire heart in an instant.

"Mother, why did Concubine Zhao suddenly take her seventh sister into the palace?" Ruan Antong finally couldn't help but ask, as if to hide something, he added in a coquettish tone that he usually used on weekdays, "Are you going to live in the palace in the future?" The seventh sister, the seventh sister has never been away from home for a long time, even if she has lived at her grandfather's house for a few days, she is also clamoring to come back. ”

It turned out that it was for this matter, Zhao's smile stiffened on her face, and the joy of pregnancy made her forget those troubles for a while, Ruan Antong's words can be regarded as pulling her mind back partially, and that kind of tiredness and weakness slowly hit her heart for a while.

At this time, Mama Fu had already brought the good fetal decoction with Wenxiang, Zhao shook her hand, let her put it on the side, closed her eyes and let Ruyi help her lie down, and said after a long time: "It's just that the concubine likes your seventh sister and wants your seventh sister to talk to her, and after a while, I will send her back." ”

Ruyi shook his head at Ruan Antong and gave a look, but Ruan Antong looked like he had never seen it, his eyes moved from his mother to the colored satin embroidery on the quilt, and murmured: "Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang has never seen her sister, how can she like her sister?" The voice was low and fluttering, and Zhao's mind turned to An Jian and An Ji again, and only heard one end of Ruan Antong's words.

Zhao touched his belly, thinking that this might be a son, Ruan Antong said in his ears, "Concubine Niangniang... How did you like my sister? It suddenly occurred to me that maybe, Aunt Taifei likes An Jin, and it is not a bad thing that she is willing to raise An Jin?

In the past two years, she has been heartbroken about the marriage of her daughters, maybe she will let go and suddenly open up? Zhao's hand pressed lightly on his abdomen, and his mood quietly changed. If this is a son in the womb, and his mother will go in the future, the Shunguo Mansion will not be able to rely on, and if he has a strong sister, he will always be able to get some support. Although she is tall and arrogant, she is also a little self-aware, her daughter is in her own hands, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise a tough heart with a city government, since her aunt is willing, let her raise her, it is not a blessing and edification for her daughter.

The mood changed, and Zhao's love gradually improved, she opened her eyes, and saw Ruan Antong's somewhat blank gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little pity, and said softly: "Mother knows that you sisters are deep, but it is also her blessing that Jin'er is valued by the concubine, if you think about her, your mother will ask the concubine to let her go back to the house to visit you from time to time, not that you will never see each other again." ”

Ruan Antong felt aggrieved in her heart, and when she heard her mother's words, she only felt that her mother was only thinking about her seventh sister in her heart, and she felt even more panicked, but she didn't know how to vent it, and she was angry, Ruyi gave her a look and asked her to wait, but it was Mama Fu who personally took the medicine bowl, tested the temperature, and persuaded Zhao to take advantage of the temperature of the medicine to drink a little.

If you think that Zhao will not drink anymore after a few sips, she will take advantage of the time when Mama Fu is serving Zhao to lie down, and gently persuade Ruan Antong: "Fifth Miss, the second lady is tired today, and because the young ladies are too worried, the fifth lady still let the second lady rest early and come to visit the second lady tomorrow." ”

But before in Shou'an Hall, Ruyi had been accompanying the side, and he knew a little bit about Ruan Antong's thoughts, and he was afraid that she would upset the Zhao family too much, so he thought about letting her go back and talk about it another day.

Ruan Antong saw her mother lying down, and both Mama Fu and Ruyi persuaded her to leave first not to disturb her mother, and she felt even more lonely and hurt, so she whispered goodbye to her mother, and then turned around and left silently.

It was dark, but Ruan Antong had no intention of going back to her yard, only wandering around the house angrily, her eldest girl Huanqiaoyun was in Huangzhuang today in order to protect her, and she was very injured, Ruan Antong left her to rest in the courtyard, followed by the little girl Huanqiaosi. Seeing her gloomy face, Qiaosi didn't dare to persuade anything, but only followed closely and didn't dare to leave.

Ruan Antong walked and walked, and unconsciously walked to a side door in front of a side door in the backyard of Shou'an Hall where the old lady lived, she looked at this side door in a daze, and knew that this side door was a few ear rooms, and she lived there not long ago, and Liu Huanzhu was under the knees of her grandmother together. It was only a few months ago that my mother said that she was older and that she should live in a yard by herself, so she moved back to the yard where her sisters lived near the main courtyard of the second house.

At that time, she was very happy to have an independent yard, and she lived with her sisters, she liked to be lively since she was a child, Ruan Antan was spoiled, Ruan Anjun let it, Ruan Anmei and her age are often inseparable, and An Jin is her own little follower.

But she doesn't know why she moved back this time, everything seems to be different from before, her mother is very busy, the second sister and the third sister are also very busy, but the fourth sister seems to have a big gap with herself, and she seems to be dissatisfied with herself.

Ruan Antong thought a little depressed, the scattered and occasional feelings of the past days were all strung together, and tears came out involuntarily.

"Sister Tong, it's so late, why are you here?" A soft, concerned voice suddenly came from behind him. Ruan Antong froze, this voice, she is too familiar, it is Cousin Huanzhu who has been with her for more than two years.

Ruan Antong quickly wiped away his tears, turned around, and saw that it was Liu Huanzhu, who had been used as a woman's equipment. Liu Huanzhu's woman's outfit stimulated her and reminded her of Liu Huanzhu's betrayal.

But the concern in Liu Huanzhu's eyes was real, she stepped forward, stopped two steps in front of her with some caution, and said: "Sister Tong, although it is summer now, the wind blows at night, and it is still easy to catch a cold, why don't you bring a shawl?" After finishing speaking, he removed the one on his body, as if he wanted to give Ruan Antong a approval, but he hesitated again, and carefully looked at Ruan Antong's face.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Antong actually reached out and took it and put it on herself. Her behavior obviously pleased Liu Huanzhu, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Liu Huanzhu saw that Ruan Antong still didn't say anything, and her eyes moved to look at the courtyard and said softly: "Sister Tong also misses this place?" Me too. I often come here during this time. After speaking, he paused, laughed at himself, and said, "Sometimes I look forward to meeting my sister." Then his gaze turned back, and he smiled warmly and heartwarmly at Ruan Antong, and continued, "I didn't expect to really meet my sister today." ”

He said: "I heard that you had an accident in Huangzhuang today, sister, are you okay?" ”

Ruan Antong looked at her steadily, as if she wanted to see the traces of camouflage under her smile, but she couldn't see it. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, only shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just passing by." It's not too early, it's time to go back, and Cousin Zhu should go back early. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Huanzhu to answer, he passed by her and left Shou'an Hall with Qiaosi, as if he was going to escape from something.

Of course, she never expected that she hurriedly returned to her yard, and it was her second sister Ruan Antan who greeted her, Ruan Antan was sitting at the table and looking down at something, and when she heard the movement, she raised her head and smiled faintly at her, her eyes were gentle and tolerant, revealing a graceful bearing that was difficult for others to imitate.

However, after Ruan Antan found out that Ruan Antong and Liu Huanzhu had a deep relationship, he paid close attention to Ruan Antong. Ruan Antong is not a person who can hide her feelings, today I have seen her strange appearance at the old lady, and when she came back to her mother's courtyard, she has always been a little strange, Ruan Antan ordered Yahuan to look at her, so she was roughly clear about her later turning back to her mother's yard and going around the vicinity of Shou'an Hall.
