After entering the city, Wang Jian got out of the carriage and handed the old man Erwen money but was refused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"My eldest son can get more than two taels of silver for the two acres of cotton land rented, and I can't take this money from my daughter!" The old man smiled and said resolutely, resolutely refusing to ask for this money.

Wang Jian had no choice but to put away the money, thank the old man and say goodbye.

Walking to the door of Yutong Pawnshop, Wang Jin held the wooden box and did not step up the steps.

The threshold of Yutong pawnshop is very high, with eight steps, and people enter and exit from time to time. There are two words hanging on both sides of the lintel - life is a pawn, how things in the world are like things, quite a sense of vicissitudes.

This pawnshop is also a time-honored brand in Yangzhou, and its reputation is naturally good. As long as you can pay the money on time to redeem it, you should be able to get it back.

But... Do you really want to be killed? What if you can't get it back?

Wang Jian was very reluctant, suspicious, and a little hesitant.

She remembered her ecstasy and love for the gift and her father's laughter.

Her white fingers gripped the knot wrapped in the cotton cloth tightly, and she finally turned away.

She went to Corning Lane.

The green bricks of the wall have shown traces of time, and some places have been quietly peeled off by wind erosion and sun. The green vines planted in the courtyard climbed outside the wall with a vigorous vitality. The unpretentious red door was closed, and the brass lock was so dull that it looked very weighty.

This is the ancestral home of the Nguyen family for generations. The Ruan family has produced one prince and one prince, and the family history is extremely deep.

Because of the adherence to the ancestral teachings, most of the children of the family served in the Hanlin Academy, serving as attendants, lecturers and scholars, but no one stepped into the cabinet and held important positions. They have devoted themselves to their studies and compiled countless books, benefiting students all over the world. A hundred years have stretched to the present, it can be said that the peach and plum are all over the world, and the Qing celebrities are famous in the world. Therefore, even though the children in the family are not of high rank, no one dares to treat each other lightly.

Nguyen Minyu lives here.

Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, did not step forward, but walked around the courtyard wall to the side door behind the Ruan Mansion and knocked lightly.

"Who's the girl?" A middle-aged man in his forties opened the door, saw that the person was very faced, and asked politely.

"I'm a friend of Miss Ruan, can you help me spread the word and say that Wang Jin has something to meet." Wang Jin bowed slightly towards him.

Hearing that she knew Ruan Minyu, the man politely led Wang Jin into the gatehouse, made a cup of tea, and asked her to wait for a while. Then he hurried out to deliver the message.

After a while, Han Lian lifted the door curtain and walked in, stepped forward in surprise and took Wang Jin's hand and said with a smile: "Miss was talking to you just now, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, so you came over." Miss is happy no, you can come with me! ”

Wang Jin followed her through Ruan's mansion for a while, and came to the door of a small and delicate courtyard.

"Sister Jin'er hasn't arrived yet!" As soon as I entered the door, I heard Ruan Minyu's coquettish voice complaining.

"Miss, someone is here!" Han Lian hurriedly quickened her pace and took Wang Jin into the house.

"Sister Jin'er!" Ruan Minyu jumped up from the chair with bright eyes, grabbed Wang Jin's hand and said, "Why are you here?" Oh no, why did you come? She suddenly had a slightly bitter face, "In the past few days, my mother has locked me in the yard to learn needlework, but it grinds me to death!" ”

Wang Jinying smiled and said: "You little naughty ghost, you just want to play, no wonder your mother always detains you." ”

Ruan Minyu giggled, pulled Wang Jin to sit down on the Luohan bed by the window, poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Jin'er is really a coincidence today." Yesterday Cher sent me a post inviting me to visit her and leave soon. Let's go together, she will definitely die happy! ”

Wang Jin's smile condensed slightly, and he sighed lightly in his heart, and said, "You were specially invited by others, it's not appropriate for me to go, right?" ”

"What's inappropriate, Xue'er also likes Sister Jin'er very much, but I don't know when you'll be free." Ruan Minyu said disapprerovantly, afraid that Wang Jin's refusal would be repeated, so she shook her sleeves and sprinkled coquettishly, "Sister Jin'er is the best, you can go with me, go!" ”

Wang Hibiscus is the most unbearable. What's more, Ruan Minyu is sincere, and she treats her extremely sincerely, and she can't bear to refuse. She touched the wooden box beside her, thinking that it would be good to be a little later.

"Well, I promise you." Wang Jian pinched her nose and said with a smile, "But I have something to do later, so I can't stay with you for too long." ”

Ruan Minyu nodded again and again: "It's okay, I'll arrange a carriage to send my sister there when the time comes." ”

At this time, Ruan Minyu noticed the square package beside Wang Jin, and asked curiously: "Did Sister Jin'er bring anything good?" ”

Wang Jin was just about to answer, when a well-dressed servant woman in her forties walked in outside, and said to Ruan Minyu respectfully: "Miss, the carriage is ready and ready to go." ”

"Got it, Mother Xia!" Ruan Minyu said crisply, and pointed at Wang Jin, "This is my good friend Sister Jin'er, and I'm going to go with me, mom should bring one more girl!" ”

"Yes, miss." The woman known as Mother Xia glanced up and down at Wang Jinyu lightly, and still said respectfully to Ruan Minyu, "Miss, this Jin'er girl needs to change her dress." ”

Wang Jin was slightly stunned, looking at the cotton clothes on his body and didn't have time to react, Ruan Minyu was unhappy, frowned and said angrily to Xia's mother: "What do you mean by this, Mom?" ”

Seeing that she was angry, Mother Xia was not flustered, and said calmly: "If it is in this Ruan Mansion, it naturally doesn't matter." But since he went out to visit as a young lady's friend, he couldn't lose his manners and made people despise it. ”

Ruan Minyu was angry and wanted to say something, but was preempted by Wang Jin.

What her mother said, Jin'er understood. Trouble mom to prepare a suitable set of clothes. She smiled at Xia's mother and smiled.

She doesn't mind seeing people plainly, but as Ruan Minyu's friend, as Mother Xia said, she can't give others the opportunity to despise herself and then Ruan Minyu.

Mother Xia glanced at her with a little appreciation and said goodbye to Ruan Minyu. After a while, he entered the house with a maid ring and a set of lotus-colored dresses.

Wang Jin glanced at the same lotus-colored clothes on her body, was slightly surprised, and quickly understood, and couldn't help but admire this Xia mother.

She is still in the filial piety period, there are no special circumstances, and she is wearing plain clothes. Mother Xia naturally didn't know about this, but she chose a dress of the same color, and her mind was extremely thoughtful and delicate.

"This suit was originally made by Madame for Miss Watch, but this year Miss Watch did not come, so she has been pressed in the sewing room. This girl should be the right size. Xia's mother said.

"Cousin Zhou's?" Ruan Minyu stood up and walked over, took the clothes and unfolded them, wrinkled her little nose, and said angrily: "Mother is really, people are not uncommon, and they make such good clothes for her!" ”

She shoved her clothes into Wang Jin's arms and pulled her behind the screen in the inner room.

"Sister Jin'er, put it on quickly, if it fits, I'll give it to you!" She looked at her clothes with a vicious look in her eyes.

Wang Jin was helpless, this little girl's temper really said that the wind is the rain, and I don't know what happened to this young lady.

She walked out after changing her clothes, and Ruan Minyu, Han Lian and the others were a little stunned.

Mrs. Ruan prepared for Cousin Zhou a lotus-colored wide-sleeved skirt with a lotus neckline, and the cuffs of the skirt were embroidered with Manman's honeysuckle vine in very light green silk thread. The skirt is huge, the cuffs are extremely wide, and when you walk, you flutter in the wind, like a fairy. A string of colored beads hangs on the left and right sides of the white brocade belt, which tinkles slightly and is very pleasant.

This dress is just the size of Wang Hibiscus, and it sets her slender waist, and her muscles are like snow, which is very moving.

"It's so beautiful...," Ruan Minyu couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Jin frowned, and looked at Mother Xia with inquiry in her eyes.

"Now that we're ready, miss, let's go." Mother Xia smiled at her and turned to Ruan Minyu.

Ruan Minyu came back to her senses, and she was also a little impatient, so she pulled Wang Jian out of the door, and a bunch of mothers-in-law and maids hurriedly followed.

In the carriage, Ruan Minyu kept looking at Wang Jian curiously.

"What's wrong with you? Don't know me? Wang Jian couldn't help but laugh.

"I just think there's something different about Sister Jin'er, but I can't say it." Ruan Minyu said with some distress.

"It's naturally different when you change your clothes." Wang Jinwan smiled.

"No, not just clothes, but... Feel. Ruan Minyu held her chin in her hand and looked at Wang Jindao seriously.

The clothes were changed, but Wang Jian had no jewelry on her body, and her hair was braided and tied with only a blue ribbon, hanging softly on her chest, and a few strands of broken hair were flying around her cheeks. This kind of dress unexpectedly matches this dress, and there is a hint of coquettishness in the plain elegance, which is extremely attractive.

As for the feeling Ruan Minyu said, Wang Jin thought that what she felt was probably a change in her aura.

When I went to see Zhuang Xue, I naturally wanted to meet the elders in her house, presumably either rich or expensive. Since I have Xia's mother's previous words, I should pay more attention to my words and deeds. At this moment, she is no longer a little girl farming in the countryside, but a friend of Ruan Minyu, the daughter of Ruan Mansion, and she is naturally more imposing.

"Hehe, do you feel better or worse?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Ruan Minyu smiled and narrowed her eyes, and said crisply: "Of course it's better!" When she arrives at the Li Mansion, Xue'er will definitely be amazed by her sister! ”

Lee House? Oh, by the way, Zhuang Xue came to her aunt's house to save her relatives.

Her cousin seems to be Li Mingqian.

Isn't the Li Mansion Li Mingqian's house?

Wang Jian felt that he was simply stupid, and he didn't expect this.

Looking at his pretty dress, Wang Jian thought of the word sheep into the tiger's mouth for no reason...
