However, I thought that Aunt Xia's mother and daughter knew that Ji Ran was harming her, but they didn't care about it, and they couldn't help but sigh that people were indifferent and their family affection was no longer there.

On this rare good day, in the early morning, Ji Ran, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Yiran Garden, dressed up properly, and brought her personal maid Hongyu to the garden to play and the dew that had not dried in time.

In the early winter weather, the sun shines on the flowers and trees in the garden, which is very refreshing. Ji Ran was holding a small jasper dragon pattern cup at this time, picking up the dew on the leaves of flowers and plants and putting it into the cup drop by drop, and the maid Hongyu who followed behind her was holding a blue and white porcelain beauty bottle in her arms, and Ji Ran put it in the bottle when it was full.

Seeing the serious appearance of the young lady, Hongyu couldn't help but compliment in her mouth: "Using such dew as tea to drink is the most nourishing to the skin, and the body will have a fragrance that is different from ordinary people.

Ji Ran smiled proudly: "As far as you are poor, the rose fat powder made the day before yesterday has been good, and you must not delay the use of it on the wedding day."

Hongyu hurriedly replied: "The slave maid has been urging several times, and the master who rushed to make it said that it would be fine in two days, and when the young lady picks the dew, the slave and maid will go to fetch it."

Ji Ran collected it for a while, only to feel the soreness of his tired arms, so he said: "That's it, just these today, you send the things back to the courtyard, quickly get the rose fat powder back, and I will rest in this pavilion for a while and go back."

After hearing this, Hongyu retreated, and hurriedly sent the things back to the house to get the fat powder.

Ji Ran sat in the pavilion in the garden, chose the place where the sun found it, and couldn't help but close her eyes slightly in the sun, enjoying the rare warmth of this winter day.

"Sister is so leisurely," Ji Xue'er smiled and walked over and saluted.

Ji Ran opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, only to see that he was wearing a half-old moon-white cotton dress, only the bright pink gown on it looked like it was newly made, and there were only a few cheap beads in his hair.

Ji Xue'er looked at the situation, knowing that the other party despised her, and pressed herself by marrying into the palace, although she was annoyed, she smiled and said: "My sister is the one who is going to marry into the palace as a concubine, and she will be the housewife in the future.

Ji Ran was very helpful when he said this, and said lazily: "Sister, I am naturally tired, and I am not comfortable when I am idle, no better than you two sisters who can stay comfortably in their own rooms all day long."

When Ji Xue'er heard this, she only laughed at the two sisters for not being able to marry a prince and general, and said coldly: "What my sister said is that my sister has always been diligent, not only thoughtful about her own affairs, but also very attentive to her sisters, for example, the gem bead chain that my sister gave to her second sister yesterday, she likes it tightly, and I heard that she plays with it all day."

When Ji Ran heard this, he couldn't help but have a cold touch on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't speak, but he was very happy in his heart.

Ji Xue'er said again: "It's just that the bead chain that my sister gave to my second sister seems to have seen it somewhere, it is indeed a rare object, and its function is different from ordinary gemstones. After speaking, he didn't wait for Ji Ran to answer, bowed and saluted: "Disturb my sister for a long time, Xue'er should also go back, sister and sit back again," after speaking, he turned around and left.

Ji Ran heard Ji Xue'er's words, and suddenly felt that there was something in her words, and couldn't help but stay in place, trembling in fear. So when Ji Xue'er walked away, she hurriedly walked towards Liu's room.

Seeing that the wedding would be a few days away, Ling'er stayed in the Lingxi Courtyard with peace of mind, and carefully inspected her wedding dress and jewelry. asked Qingxi to find the dowry list sent by Aunt Wang before to check, and saw that it was mainly the dowry sent by the Hengwang Mansion and his mother's dowry, and the ten boxes of gold and silver bought by the Foreign Minister's Mansion with silver. As the prime minister of a country, he is so shabby that these things can only be used to hide people's eyes. Ling'er didn't mind, the amount of dowry really didn't mean much to her. After working for a long time, I thought it was a very complicated matter, but I didn't expect it to be solved in half a day, and I was relieved, leaning on the side of the bed and picking up a book to relieve my boredom.

After a while, Nuo'er came to report: "Miss, Aunt Wang is here."

Ling'er came back to her senses a little and said, "Let her in." He got up and tidied up his clothes, and paced to the hall for tea.

The Aunt Wang walked in with Nuo'er and saluted, "I heard that the second lady has a headache, I don't know if it's better?"

Ling'er put down the tea and said, "Aunt Lao is worried, she still has some pain from time to time, maybe it's because of the cold, it's okay, I don't know why my aunt came here today?"

Aunt Wang lowered her face at this time and said: "I complain that my aunt is not doing well, and today I am here to tell the second lady that the dowry list sent by my son before cannot be counted, and it has been changed."

Ling'er said strangely: "Why is this?"

Aunt Wang sighed and said, "The ten boxes of items added to the mansion were ordered by the eldest lady to move six boxes."

Ling'er didn't speak, only looked at Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang hurriedly defended when she saw the situation: "Auntie, although I am now in charge of the middle feed of the house, I have no choice but that the Liu family is still the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I naturally can't be her master, and I hope that the second lady will forgive me."

Ling'er lowered her head and continued to taste tea, thinking that what she said was also a thing, and said slowly: "Does my father know about this?"

Aunt Wang said straightly: "The day before yesterday, the prime minister mentioned that the eldest lady was the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, and she can't be wronged in everything, but you can do it first."

The water cup in Ling'er's hand shook suddenly, and she said in her heart: "You have no affection for my mother and daughter after all, why is she the eldest daughter, so where is my mother and me?" Originally, he didn't want to care about a few boxes of dowry, but at this time, he couldn't help but be angry, raised his head and said to Aunt Wang: "You go and tell your wife and sister, just say that Ling'er is young, and you should be humble to the eldest sister, and those boxes of dowry will be given to Ling'er to sister."

When Aunt Wang heard Ling'er say this, she couldn't help but be disappointed in her heart, she thought that she could make the Liu clan for herself, but she didn't expect the situation in front of her.

At this time, Ling'er continued: "But my sister gave Ling'er a string of precious gems and beads the day before yesterday, Ling'er likes it very much, and now she only has to cut love, and tomorrow she will let people take it outside, and exchange it for some silver taels to buy a dowry."

Ling'er said that Aunt Wang was confused, but seeing her situation, she was not easy to ask in detail, so she had to leave and tell the Liu family mother and daughter one by one.

Ji Ran heard what Aunt Wang said, and turned to look at her mother, Liu hesitated in her heart, "It was already something that the master agreed, and it's a pity to return it now, but I can't help myself in the current situation." Then he said to Aunt Wang: "Where is this, how can there be a reason to be the eldest sister's dowry and purchase, you let those boxes of things be carried back quickly, but the bead chain let it be kept well, don't let Ran Er's heart down."

Since Aunt Wang's unexpected problem was solved so easily, she hurriedly sent someone to move the things back, and asked the little girl to go to Lingxi Courtyard to inform Ling'er of the matter.

When Ling'er heard this, she smiled and said in her heart: "Sai Weng knows if he loses his horse." Got up and came to the desk, picked up the brush and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to write. At this time, at the window facing him, King Heng seemed to fall from the sky. Ling'er couldn't help but smile when she saw the person coming clearly: "I thought it was Xin'er who came, why are you free today, don't you need to arrange a wedding banquet in the mansion?"

King Heng saw Ling'er's clever and smiling appearance, his heart was very clear, and he said lightly: "There is something in my heart, and the affairs in the house are handled by the people, so I don't have to work hard."

Ling'er lowered her head and waved, and said: "It's good to be an official, there is someone to do everything." But you don't need to control your heart and don't let it come to my Lingxi Courtyard, I will stay well these days, you can rest assured. ”

When King Heng saw that he had guessed it, he didn't defend it, but said: "If you still lack something, just say it, and I'll send someone to do it."

Ling'er smiled: "I have all the belongings, I don't have to bother you anymore, but if you don't mind, can you give me a ring?" In any case, Ling'er felt that she still needed a ring to feel married, even if the future of this marriage was unknown.

Although King Heng was full of strangeness, he was also accustomed to Ling'er's whimsy, and replied: "It's for you on the wedding day."

Ling'er said: "That's the best, this one is for you," after speaking, he handed the sketch he had just drawn in front of him to King Heng.

King Heng took a look, it was exactly what he looked like at this time, wearing a blue shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, and his eyebrows and eyes hesitating. Then he said to Ling'er: "Why am I so sad?"

Ling'er pouted and said, "You still have to ask yourself about this, I'm just realistic."

The two were talking, and a male voice floated in the courtyard, "The second lady will also draw a portrait of me another day, it must be the kind of Yushu in the wind, handsome and unique." ”

Ling'er and King Heng both had speechless expressions, Ling'er of the Heng Dynasty frowned and smiled, and Ling'er said when she saw this: "You look good like this."

Mu Chenfeng, who had arrived in front of the window, quipped: "There are outsiders, you two take care of my mood somewhat."

Ling'er snorted coldly and said, "Who doesn't know that Young Master Mu is the master of the ten thousand flowers, as for whether there are any leaves on his body, he doesn't know."

King Heng was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard Ling'er's words about Mu Chenfeng's arrangement.

Mu Chenfeng rolled his eyes and said: "This young master is here to give gifts today, and he will be polite to me if he says something nice."

At first glance, when she heard about giving gifts, Ling'er suddenly became interested and hurriedly said: "Quickly take out the gifts, you have good things to listen to."

Mu Chenfeng handed over the thing in his hand at this time, which turned out to be a jade flute. Ling'er saw it and played with curiosity, although she didn't know how to, now that she has one, it's not bad to learn. With this in mind, I picked it up and put it to my lips.

Mu Chenfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't blow it." Where is there still time, before the words fell, Ling'er had already blown it. I saw a cold light flash in front of me, and King Heng and Mu Chenfeng flew quickly to dodge.

Ling'er was already standing still, waiting to come back to her senses, and was busy looking at the jade flute in her hand. Mu Chenfeng sighed: "Fortunately, the prince and I have a big life, otherwise today will be more than lucky."

Ling'er ignored him and said happily: "This jade flute is so magical, thank you, I will have a self-defense guy in the future."

Mu Chenfeng said: "You don't have to thank me, if I have such a treasure, I must keep it for myself to play, this is a gift from my father to thank you for healing my mother last time." Mu Leimu, the owner of the original Xunyin Building, went out to run errands for a few months, and came back to find that his wife had recovered from illness, and he heard that he was treated by the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his gratitude was indescribable, so he took out this Xiao as a thank you gift.

King Heng said: "This flute is owned by the famous Hundred Flowers Fairy in the rivers and lakes decades ago, and it is also fate for the old landlord to give it to you today."
