After returning from Yuecheng, Gu Lianzhao was very righteous and did not sue Old Madam Gu, but he was angry and refused to talk to Ranran. Ran Ran was grateful, but it was not good to take the initiative to run to him to reconcile, and unexpectedly learned that Gu Lianzhao's birthday was coming, and decided to surprise him, which could be regarded as her apology.

In order to show her sincerity, she specially took out Gu Lianzhao's dietary preferences from Mingxiang's mouth, and when she learned that Gu Lianzhao was actually a rabbit, an idea immediately popped up in her mind. So, she racked her brains to think of a few dessert recipes, ran to the kitchen to find someone to ask about the feasibility, and decided to cook herself.

"It's only enough for half a catty, is it enough?" Miao Ling handed a small bag to Ranran, and when she saw her nodding like pounding garlic, she couldn't help but be curious, "It's late spring, what else do you want chestnuts to do, and eating chestnuts has to be fresh and sweet in autumn." ”

"You don't have to worry about this for the time being, have you found any milk?" Ranran ignored her doubts.

"No milk, only goat's milk, okay?"

Ran Ran thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it just needs to be fresh anyway." By the way, and mulberries. "I think she has never been in the kitchen, and now she is well-intentioned to challenge such a difficult dessert for Gu Lianzhao's birthday.

"I asked, the mulberries are not ripe at this time, and Doni is already ripe." Miao Ling took out a few dark purple fruits the size of red dates from her pocket, "Doni is much more delicious than mulberries, and it is not easy to find in normal times, but this year it bears fruit quickly." ”

Ran Ran took one, tasted it hesitantly, and was about to reach out to take it, but found something at the bottom of the flower stand on the side. When Ran Ran picked it up and looked at it, her brows immediately furrowed.

"Has Jingjing ever been here?" If she remembers correctly, this flower was bought by Gu Lianzhao, but it was not given to her. Although Gu Lianzhao didn't say it, Ran Ran also knew in her heart that she was not the only one who could make Gu Lianzhao think about giving gifts in the Gu family.

Miao Ling was a little surprised, "Huh? How did the lady know, Swift took two days off, and somehow Jingjing came to work. Seeing Ranran, she looked at the flower thoughtfully, "What's wrong with this flower, could it be that Jingjing fell?" ”

"What did she do when she came in?"

"I didn't do anything, I just came in and shook around, saying that I hadn't said hello to my lady for a long time, and then I left without seeing you."

She didn't believe that the flower had fallen accidentally, if it weren't for the right angle of the position, no one would have thought that there was a flower hidden in the flower stand, and it was half hidden under the green leaves. But why did Jingjing hide the hair flower that Gu Lianzhao gave her in her house, could she still frame her for stealing things?

She was about to go to Jingjing to ask for clarification, but she saw Gu Lianzhao walking with Jingjing from a distance. For a while, Ranran's heart suddenly brightened, she sneered, and threw the hair flower out of the window.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Lianzhao came in, followed by Jingjing, who looked pitiful with red eyes crying, Ran Ran immediately cared: "What's the matter, bite your tongue or hit your foot, how can you cry like this, your eyes will be blind." ”

Jingjing was stunned, looked up and saw the cunning flashing on Ran Ran's face, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, as if her heart had been seen through, and she was suddenly cramped and uneasy.

In the end, it was Gu Lianzhao who opened her mouth for Jingjing, "Have you seen Jingjing's head flower, she said that she just came to you, and she couldn't find the head flower when she went back." ”

"What kind of head flower? I haven't seen it, haven't you seen it? Ran Ran smiled brightly, "Isn't it just a flower, if you lose it, you will lose it, or I will give you one?" ”

Jingjing bit her lip, tears rolling in her eyes: "That was given to me by the young master, huh...... Lady, if you see it, please give it back to me......"

Suddenly, Ranran's face changed, and she said sternly: "What do you mean, I wasn't in the house when you came, and I couldn't afford to lose my head of flowers." Since you think I'm hiding your head flower, then you can search it, and if you can't find it, don't blame me for being polite. ”

didn't expect Ran Ran's face to change, Jingjing was stunned in place, she didn't dare to move at all, she glanced at the flower stand out of the corner of her eye, and her heart was even more panicked, so she had to look at Gu Lianzhao helplessly.

"Who threw the headflower here?" A loud voice rose outside the door, stopping Gu Lianzhao's words, and Ran Ran motioned for Miao Ling to go out and have a look. After a while, Miao Ling walked in with a handkerchief pinching a head flower stained with dirt and rotten leaves, and handed it to Jingjing: "Did you lose this?" ”

Jingjing recognized at a glance that this was the flower she hid under the flower stand, but now it was somehow mixed with a smell of rancid water, which made her want to take it for a while but didn't dare to take it.

"What? Isn't that what you lost? If not, I'll let Miao Ling return it. Ran Ran put on a smiling face again, and watched Jingjing reluctantly take out a handkerchief and reach out to take it. Pay attention in the future, this is a gift personally selected by the young master, and it won't be good if you lose it again, right, young master? ”

was a little embarrassed by Ranran's rhetorical question, Gu Lianzhao hurriedly found an excuse to escape, "It's good that you don't lose it, you talk, I still have to go to read, go first." ”

Jingjing didn't expect Gu Lianzhao to leave her, panicked and anxious, and didn't know how to face Ranran. But I heard Ran Ran say coldly: "When you look for me in the future, when you pick me up, otherwise I don't care if I lose something." ”

No matter what Jingjing thought, she instructed Miao Ling to take care of the things in the house, and she ran to Old Madam Gu's house to say goodbye.

"I just heard that you're going on there, what's going on?" Old Madam Gu glanced at her.

Ran Ran changed her smile and greeted her, "It was the young master who came over, asked me something, and then said that he was going to read a book, so he left." ”

Old Madam Gu didn't ask any further, just nodded, "He has become more and more restrained recently, if he can pass the hospital examination smoothly, I will be relieved." However, I see that he goes to the academy to play, and those boys will still go to him to make trouble. ”

Thinking that the people who punished them in the first place were finally persuaded to retire by the Cuncao School, Ran Ran was relieved and surprised in her heart, she knew that the Gu family's contribution was indispensable behind this.

"Grandmother is trying to find a master for the young master?"

Ranran's words woke up Old Madam Gu, "This is a good idea, it is better than putting him out of sight." ”

"Grandmother had better find a master who can write and martial arts, the young master's temper, I'm afraid that Mr. Ordinary won't be able to stand it." Although she felt that Gu Lianzhao would not be able to beat Mr. away, it was absolutely indispensable to be difficult and naughty, "Please ask a gentleman who knows how to do kung fu, so that the young master can learn some boxing and kicking, and he is not afraid of being bullied by the young master." ”

"It's easy for you to say, a few people who can read in the world go to learn boxing and kicking. However, what you said is also right, you have to find a gentleman who can suppress it, otherwise it will be troublesome to find someone at two ends in three days. "Old Madam Gu was very satisfied with Ranran's suggestion.

Ran Ran's brain spun around quickly, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Grandmother, there is something I want to ask, how old can a maid be to allow people." ”

Old Madam Gu frowned, "Why are you asking this?" You can be released after the flute, but it is generally left until the age of ten**, and it is not for nothing to stay until twenty-three or four at the latest, but it is not uncommon to waste the good years of the lady in vain. ”

"In that case, grandmother will be a matchmaker and give Mingxiang a home." Ran Ran remembered Mingxiang's entrustment, so she lied to Mrs. Gu, "I heard that Xiang Laozi wanted to give her to Carpenter Liu to fill the house, but Mingxiang was not happy, so she wanted to ask her grandmother to make the decision for her." ”

Shanlin's daughter-in-law saw Mrs. Gu looking over, so she explained: "Carpenter Liu is a good person, his family background is also solid, he has no parents, and he is also a free person when he marries. I had a daughter-in-law the year before last, and I heard that she died in childbirth, so she said that it was a continuation of the string, but it was actually no different from the original match. ”

"But Mingxiang has someone she likes." Ran Ran said that she leaked her mouth, so she had to explain honestly: "Mingxiang likes Ah Cai, but Mingxiang's family thinks Ah Cai has no family background." Moreover, Mingxiang Lao Ziniang accepted the bride price from Carpenter Liu, but the people refused to return, so they wanted to marry their daughter-in-law. Grandmother, you can help Mingxiang. ”

Old Madam Gu lowered her face, "This bride price is accepted, how else can I help, don't meddle in this matter." ”

"Why can't you help, Carpenter Liu only needs to marry a daughter-in-law, let's help him find a daughter-in-law, and it doesn't have to be Mingxiang." Ran Ran also really likes Mingxiang, so she can't help but intercede for her.

"Nonsense! Where are you going to find him a daughter-in-law? ”

"Jingjing has reached the end of her life this year, and she can talk about getting married."
