Ruan Antan is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and her grandmother, the old lady of Shunguo, is distressed that her youngest daughter Zhao is not married well, and she is very partial to her, so she made up her mind to marry Ruan Antan back to the Shunguo Mansion when she was very young, and she was worried about which grandson.

But the Duchess also knew that Zhao's temperament was a little crooked because of too much pampering, and if the granddaughter was not well educated, she would marry back, not to mention that the daughter-in-law had opinions, even the old grandfather was a little unreasonable, so she spent some effort on the granddaughter's upbringing. In addition to personally seeing the granddaughters' upbringing, he also took Ruan Antan to the Guogong Mansion from time to time and took him with him to raise him personally.

Therefore, among the young ladies of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, Ruan Antan has the best upbringing, quite the demeanor of the ladies of the noble family, calm and polite, advanced and retreated, and does things very properly.

An Jin went to Ruan Antan to find the meaning of handing over this matter to Ruan Antan. The bento is for her to practice her hands, An Geun thought to herself. In the future, Ruan Antan, presumably there will be a lot of things in the back house.

In fact, this matter can only be found by Ruan Antan, Ruan Antan has almost been in charge of the second room for two years, and now many of his mother's dowry industry is also managed by Ruan Antan, and Ruan Antan knows all kinds of relationships in the house, and there are people inside and outside, which is convenient to do.

When An Jin arrived at Suifeng Ju, Ruan Antan's eldest maid Huan Liu Yi was in the outhouse, and when she heard that An Jin was coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to welcome her into the hall, and while asking people to prepare tea, she told An Jin that the second lady was in the small study, and ordered someone to go to the study to report.

Although the sisters of the Ruan family have their own small courtyards, they belong to Ruan Antan's courtyard and are the largest, which is a two-entry courtyard, the first one is the hall and the ear room, and the second one is the house and study. So every time I come over, I have to inform and wait, unlike the courtyard of other sisters, it is a small courtyard, and there are four or five main rooms on one side, and there is a bedroom behind the hall, and next to it is a study or embroidery room. Entering the courtyard, Yahuan saw it and called, "Miss Seven is here." "You can hear it inside.

Ruan Antan quickly went from the back study to the front hall, his steps were steady but his speed increased, and he was smiling, obviously he was extremely happy to see his sister coming.

An Jin got up and gave Ruan Antan a salute: "Second sister, knowing that the second sister is busy, she still comes to disturb, and I ask the second sister not to be surprised." ”

Ruan Antan hurriedly smiled and helped An Jin up, took An Jin's hand lovingly, and couldn't help rubbing her sister's soft hair, and said with a smile: "You are doing it again, sit down." Why did this time come over? Seeing a thin layer of fine sweat on An Jin's forehead, he picked up a handkerchief embroidered with a light pink pattern and wiped An Jin's forehead and temples, and then turned his head and instructed the girl next to him, "Go to the small kitchen and get some sour plum soup to cool off the heat and serve some to Miss Seven." Then prepare some rose silk cake, propolis date cake, and puff pastry mille-feuille. "It's all what Anjin likes to eat.

An Jinle said: "I want to eat what Sister-in-law Chen made herself." "Ruan Antan has her own small kitchen, and Chen's sister-in-law was given to Ruan Antan by her grandmother, and I heard that she was found from the south. Sometimes An Geun would come over and ask for advice.

Sister-in-law Chen smiled and narrowed her eyes, she loved An Jin very much. Chen's sister-in-law was taken in by the main family and sent to the Zhao family in the capital when her family changed, her relatives were lost, and she was taken in by the main family and sent to the Zhao family in the capital Guogong Mansion. At the beginning, she couldn't even speak official language, and she was even guessing when communicating with people, and her lonely life can be imagined. Later, she was given to the second miss of the Ruan family by the Zhao family, and she was very displaced several times. But I never thought to meet Miss Ruan Jiaqi here, the little girl's eyes are big, the eyes are bright, but the smile is like a curved crescent, once I ate the pastries she made, I often come to look for her, ask for some pastry methods, some ideas are unspeakable. I also learned to speak with her in the vernacular, after a long time, she actually spoke the same way, sometimes she listened, she was surprised, although Miss Seven vernacular pronunciation is a bit strange, but the soft and glutinous spoken, it seems to be enough to say the vernacular tone of some young ladies in the south. She secretly thought, sure enough, Miss Everyone is Miss Everyone, even if Miss Seven has never studied with the Southern Family, but only learns by herself, it is actually the charm of Miss of the Southern Family.

This is a mistake made by Sister-in-law Chen, in fact, An Jin's vernacular is much stronger than Sister-in-law Chen's, it is the language she has spoken for more than ten years, although the current vernacular is somewhat different from her previous life, but it is almost the same. She just borrowed Sister-in-law Chen to let people know how she knew how she knew the vernacular. Every time she can say a few words to Sister-in-law Chen, she can't stop feeling sour and melancholy in her heart, as if she can feel that she has had another life.

An Jin was not in a hurry to get to the point, chatted with Ruan Antan about daily life, discussed the palace whitening formula, and then drank sour plum soup and ate all kinds of sweet cakes with satisfaction, before saying: "Last time I heard in my mother's room, my sister heard that there is a painting of Zhang Seng Xiang here, and my sister really wants to take a look, sister, you know that I have been trying new painting methods recently, but Zhang Seng Xuan's painting has only seen a copy, and I have never seen the real work." "This was obtained by the second cousin of the uncle's family, who is also Ruan Antan's fiancé, and knew that Ruan Antan liked it, so he sent it in the name of his grandmother.

Ruan Antan's face flushed slightly, although she was more mature and stable than her peers, she was still a girl to be married. But Ruan Antan is Ruan Antan after all, she got up and smiled: "You narrow ghost, come with me." Taking An Jin's hand, he took her to the inner courtyard, her small study.

Entering the study, Ruan Antan asked people to serve tea, then dismissed the maids who served, took out the painting himself, and spread it out carefully, An Jin had already stretched his neck and stared. It's true that I came here to discuss something, but it's also true to look at the paintings. Zhang Sengqiu's paintings had long been extinct in her previous life, and now that she could see the real works, how could she not be excited.

Unfolding is a picture of a noble lady visiting the garden, the woman is dressed in a silk gauze skirt, with high black hair, a slightly plump face, red lips and bright eyes, and the autumn leaves around her are clear and elegant, indescribably lazy and elegant. When you look into her eyes again, she seems to be looking back at you, as if she is smiling at you, making your heart beat half a beat, as if it were a fantasy.

"Seventh sister." Ruan Antan called.

"Huh?" Only then did An Jin wake up from the painting, shook his head, and said, "What a magic brush." ”

Ruan Antan smiled, looked at An Jin with a reluctant look, and said, "I'll ask someone to bring a box to you in a while, and you can take it back to copy." I went to visit Mr. Min a few days ago, and I heard that you are learning how to draw ladies and ladies, and it will be useful to you. An Jin happily hugged Ruan Antan's arm and rubbed it, this sister is really not stingy.

Ruan Antan ignored An Jin's coquettishness, carefully put away the painting, put it away, and then slowly walked back to the chair and sat down, looked at An Jin and said, "Say, such a mysterious and secretive, is there anything else to tell my sister." "I have a lot of good things to go to, and I usually don't see An Jinbaba coming, and usually, the sisters visit each other by appointment in advance, so they won't come so suddenly.

An Jin blinked, bent his eyes and smiled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the second sister." He also retreated to the side of the couch and sat down, took a sip of tea with a few teacups, and then continued, "That's the case, second sister, you must have heard that two days ago, the fifth sister went to play with Cousin Huanzhu again, and I heard that she was sad to see Cousin Huanzhu, and sat with her cousin for half the night. I know that the fifth sister has always been good with Cousin Huanzhu, in the past, Cousin Huanzhu liked Suzhou embroidery, the fourth sister embroidered the best, and the fifth sister also gave the fourth sister to her Begonia Qiusi embroidery screen to Cousin Huanzhu, which was embroidered by the fourth sister for the birthday of the fifth sister, and it took many nights to stay up late to embroider it. This is what An Jin has known for a long time, because An Jin likes that begonia Qiu Situ also likes it very much, but she is reluctant to Ruan Anmei to stay up late and not make a sound, but she doesn't want Ruan Antong to give it to Liu Huanzhu like that. An Jin didn't think much about it at that time, she just felt that Ruan Antong was a heartless fool, and she would never give her anything good.

Seeing that Ruan Antan was silent, he said again: "But my mother said that the identity of Cousin Huanzhu is not what it used to be. Just two days ago, the news came that the sister-in-law in the lobby was two months pregnant, but because of the matter of Huanzhu's cousin, it was a little bad. The lobby sister-in-law treats us well on weekdays, and the fifth sister and cousin Huanzhu are so good, isn't it going to hurt the lobby sister-in-law's heart? In case something happens to the sister-in-law, it's really a big sin. I'm a younger sister, and I really don't know how to dissuade the fifth sister, so I can only sue the second sister and let the second sister see how to do it. ”

Of course, Ruan Antan knew about the fifth sister Ruan Antong going to find Liu Huanzhu, and had already knocked Ruan Antong's housekeeper, but she didn't expect that the fourth sister Ruan Anmei was also involved. She remembered that Mrs. Liu's uncle once praised the fourth sister's embroidery with a rather weird smile, and she only thought she was currying favor with the Zhao family, but now she thinks about it, but she doesn't know what to do with what the seventh sister just said.

This has to be investigated.

Seeing Ruan Antan frowning and thinking, An Jin knew that she was already suspicious. Presumably Ruan Antan will definitely take care of this matter, thinking of this, An Jin easily got up and said goodbye, as if what she said before was just that the little girl was worried for a while, and told the eldest sister, someone took responsibility, and her mind immediately turned away.

An Jin really felt that she was fine, and when she left, she didn't forget to remind Ruan Antan that she must remember to send the lady picture. When Ruan Antan heard this, she couldn't help but put her mind down, laughed, knocked on An Jin's head, scolded dotingly, and didn't forget to ask Sister-in-law Chen to pack a box of snacks for An Jin to take back.
