Rongcheng is the imperial city of Cangyue country, the so-called first city of the country, it is already prosperous and prosperous, and now there is no war, the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a rich life, and a scene of peace and prosperity.

At this moment, it is close to the time of Shen, and the streets of Rongcheng in the early spring are full of people coming and going, so lively, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere.

Suddenly, a small cyan sedan chair suddenly appeared in the crowd, the sedan chair is very elegant and simple, shuttling in the crowd is very eye-catching, but the four girls behind the sedan chair make pedestrians look sideways, one is graceful and atmospheric, one is playful and cute, one bows his head and lowers his eyes, one is quiet and gentle, although the temperament is completely different, but the appearance is all first-class good, walking together, it is really a beautiful scenery.

The most eye-catching is still the woman in white, demure and gentle, she is slender and tall, full of dignity, the lotus step gently moves to drive the skirt to sway slightly, it is difficult to hide the calm atmosphere, the chin is slightly drooping, the eyes do not squint, the gentle face is like water, the corners of the mouth always have a smile like nothing, a dignified and virtuous lady is like nature, seemingly weak and windless, but it reveals a sense of perseverance.

It's just that she deliberately lowered her eyelids, so others can't see clearly, and her eyes as clear as water reveal a faint helplessness and sadness at the moment.

Her name is Wen Ruoshui, originally a native of Rongcheng, when she was eight years old, her life changed, and her mother fell into Yunzhou, when she was desperate, she met the old lady who lived in the old house of the Taishi in Yunzhou, fortunately she rescued and took them in, so that their mother and daughter had a place to live, and they thought that they could live a plain life from now on, but their mother

Thinking of her mother, the memories of before the age of eight poured into her mind again, the scenes of the unreminiscent past, like a string of heavy shackles, made Wen Ruoshui's face suddenly a little pale at the moment, for those in the past, she didn't hate, she just promised her mother, she wouldn't take the initiative to care, as long as those people couldn't provoke her, she would live her life quietly, but the premise must not provoke her, which is also the limit of her promise to her mother.

"Sister Ruoshui, look, this imperial city is different, so prosperous and lively." The girl in Tsing Yi who walked behind her couldn't help but pull her sleeves, and said in surprise, it was a very playful and cute little girl, named Xiaoqian, who was Bai Ruo's best friend, her innocent eyes were shining, smiling widely, looking like a dirt bun entering the city.

"Sister Ruoshui, oh Sister Ruoshui, look at it, don't be in a daze." Seeing that Ruoshui didn't respond, Xiao Qian increased his strength, pulled her arm again, and shook it coquettishly.

"Huh? What to see" Ruoshui finally came back to her senses, and turned her head to look at Xiao Qian suspiciously, obviously not hearing what she said earlier.

"Look at the excitement, you see, how prosperous this Rongcheng is, there are many people, and there are many things." After saying that, he continued to look, and his pretty little face was full of happy smiles.

"Isn't it, this Rongcheng is indeed a lot of everything." Looking back at the front, Ruoshui said something meaningful, with a faint sigh.

"Hehe, what's wrong with you today, Sister Ruoshui, since you entered this Rongcheng, I have seen that you are always unrelenting, do you have anything on your mind?" The girl on the left side next to her sighed when she saw her, and couldn't help but turn her head sideways and ask, it was a beautiful woman who looked witty and intelligent, especially those smart eyes, revealing a shrewd light.

Ruoshui smiled and said lightly to her slightly concerned eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional, Sister Zilan don't worry."

Yes, there are too many emotions left to her by this Rongcheng, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, all kinds of flavors have poured into her heart with this familiar street.

"Yes, I almost forgot, you were originally from Rongcheng, you have been away for decades, and now that you are back, it is normal to feel excited."

She has been reluctant to mention Ruoshui's past, and they have no way of knowing, seeing Ruoshui smiling lightly, Zilan then comforted.

"Sister, don't worry too much, the past is gone, it's the right thing to think about the future, speaking of which, my sister is so good that I envy it."

"Huh?" Ruoshui replied in confusion,

"Sister, this is making fun of my sister."

"Oh yes." Zilan looked at Ruoshui and said seriously.

"My sister is the first lady in Yunzhou, a model among our women, with good talent and good looks, and her etiquette and piano skills are unparalleled in the world, this reputation is estimated to have spread in Rongcheng a long time ago, and in the future, it is estimated that I will have to take care of my sister more."

Ruoshui pursed her lips and smiled.

"Sister is polite, in terms of talent, who is comparable to sister, sister's talent is praised even by the old lady, as for the rest, we are sisters, we should be united and help each other."

But there is some helplessness in my heart, the first lady, this name and the old lady in the old mansion in Yunzhou caused trouble, this came to the imperial city, into the courtyard of the Taishi Mansion, I don't know how much trouble there will be, this is going to fall on the heads of those daughters and nobles, but who called her just a girl, it's no wonder if she is not jealous, speaking of which, this gives her a headache The name has to blame the old lady for fueling the fire, and the unexpected banquet

And Zilan, when she heard Ruoshui praise her talent, the smile that stayed at the corner of her mouth couldn't help but stiffen, there was an unknown depth in her eyes, no matter how good her talent was, what the old lady valued the most was female virtue, even if she continued to learn from this convenience later, but it still couldn't replace Wen Ruoshui, who had an important position in the old lady's heart.

"Sister Ruoshui, will we live in Rongcheng in the future? It's just wonderful. At this time, Xiao Qian's girl's loud voice sounded in her ears again, directly breaking the situation where the two of them had their own thoughts.

"What? I said Xiaoqian, you girl really likes the new and hates the old, I guess when you get to know the sisters of Rongcheng, even I should abandon it. Looking at the lively and innocent little girl in front of her, Ruoshui glanced at her secretly.

"Hey," Xiao Qian smiled embarrassedly.

"How can it, if you abandon anyone, you can't abandon your sister, no, I still have to follow my sister to learn ~ Xi" She deliberately lengthened the word learning, and made a meaningful action.

"Ahem" Ruoshui covered her mouth and coughed lightly twice, and glanced at the side of the sedan chair with the corner of her eye as a reminder, this girl is always so arrogant, for fear that she will not arouse suspicion.

Xiao Qian suddenly realized, stuck out his tongue, and didn't speak again.

After the noisy city, the sedan chair finally stopped in an imposing mansion.

Ruoshui opened the curtain and said respectfully inside. "Old lady, the Taishifu has arrived."

"Hmm"

With a lazy old voice, an elderly woman was helped off the sedan chair by Ruoshui, this is the mother of Qian Yuanshan, the old lady of the dynasty.

This old lady looks fifty or sixty years old, dressed in simple clothes, her hairstyle is also very simple, only an ordinary silver hairpin is inserted in the bun that is pulled up, and the whole person does not look rich at all, but the cold temperament is faintly majestic, looking at a string of Buddha beads hanging on her wrist, she is obviously a person who likes to worship the Buddha quietly, and her face should be extremely kind, but it is a little cold at the moment.

"Nineteen years, nineteen years have passed, this Taishi Mansion has become more and more magnificent, it seems that this Taishi Lady is very good at running a family." The old lady stood at the gate, looking at the magnificent, luxurious and newly built Taishi Mansion, muttering a little sarcastically.

Several girls knew that there was something wrong with the old lady and Mrs. Taishi, so no one said anything, for fear of displeasing the old lady.

"Okay, let's go in" After a while, the old lady retracted her gaze and muttered, seeing this, Zilan immediately walked over to support the other side of the old lady, and a few people raised their feet and prepared to go inside.
