Chapter 288: Sentimental
Zhong Siye went to Haicheng again, and the parting was sad, he didn't let An Ruolan send it, but only asked people to say that it would take a long time to return this time, and asked her to write more letters.
After leaving relatives, An Ruolan was free, it was about to be the New Year, she wrote to ask Zhong Siye if he would go back to Liuzhou to accompany Master Zhong for the New Year, Zhong Siye replied that he was not sure, and he might stay in Haicheng during the New Year.
An Ruolan knew that he was really busy, so he didn't say those thoughts in vain, so as not to cause sadness.
She also told him about going to the Jin Palace.
"Every time I go to King Jin's Mansion, I feel uncomfortable, in fact, my cousin is very good to me, but the way she looks at me always makes me feel weird, and I don't like King Jin."
She wrote in the letter.
When Zhong Siye saw this, his heart was sour, and he wrote back to her: "If you are free, go and accompany Princess Jin more, with your company, she may get better." ”
An Ruolan remembered the death of Meng Yuyan in her previous life, when she was only fourteen years old, and it was two years away from now.
"I'll go with her more, but I won't be free until Sister Jin gets married."
If she can change the fate of her cousin's early death, even if she doesn't like the Jin Palace, she is willing to go over from time to time.
The father and daughter frequently exchanged letters, mostly about daily trivial matters, so that even if they were not around, they would not feel lonely.
An Ruojin's wedding date was set for the twentieth day of the first month, and after the Lantern Festival, An Ruolan thought that there was still some time, so she went to the gold and silver building to order a set of ruby heads, and picked a lot of jewelry materials, planning to make a set by herself.
Thinking of giving gifts to the bride, it was not only An Ruolan who was alone, but several ladies also took out their own private rooms to add makeup to their nieces.
The always generous Meng is naturally no exception. It's just that in the past few years, Meng Guofu has stopped helping her from time to time, and her own private house has already been spent not much, just relying on the monthly allowance and her husband's money, asking her to come up with a decent gift, which is really not much better than cutting meat. But she didn't want to fall behind the other ladies.
For the new wedding, Meng Shi was not worried, and An Ruoxian saw that she was frowning all day, so she came up with an idea for her.
"Sister Lan is the young owner of the Golden and Silver Building, why doesn't your mother let Sister Lan pick a set of noodles for you as a gift? This is a breeze for Sister Lan. ”
Meng Shi didn't have this thought, but she couldn't give up, and hesitated: "Ke Lan'er is no longer the young lady of the fifth room, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate." She was also afraid of being known by outsiders and losing face.
"What's wrong?" An Ruoxian asked rhetorically, and said as a matter of course: "Even if Sister Lan became the daughter of the long house and recognized Zhong Siye as her father-in-law, she is also her mother's daughter, and now she can soar because her mother endured the pain of her and succeeded her, and her today is given by her mother, why not repay her mother appropriately?" ”
These words instantly broke through Meng Shi's hesitation.
Yes, without her, Lan'er would not be where she is today, let alone such a rich and wanton life, I am afraid that she is still depressed because of the discord between her parents.
Thinking like this, Meng Shi completely lost the burden in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "What Xian'er said is reasonable, it's just that it's ......" She paused, and said with a worried brow, "It's just how can I open this mouth to Lan'er?" ”
An Ruoxian couldn't bear to see her sad appearance, so Mao Sui recommended herself: "Xian'er went to tell Sister Lan on behalf of her mother, I just want to ask you to see what Sister Lan prepared for Sister Jin as a wedding gift." ”
Meng Shi couldn't ask for it, so he immediately smiled and said, "Then Lao Xian'er will go for me." ”
After that, seeing An Ruoxian's plain clothes, she frowned self-reproachfully, pulled An Ruoxian and said apologetically: "She is also her mother's daughter, Lan'er enjoys all the wealth, but you can only accompany your mother to live a poor life, your mother can't give you a better life, it's your mother who is sorry for you." ”
As she spoke, sorrow came from it, and she burst into tears.
An Ruoxian was startled at first, and then understood that she was feeling sorry for herself, and she was immediately moved and sad, and Wen Yan said with relief: "Mother doesn't have to feel sorry for Xian'er, Xian'er doesn't care about this, as long as she can be with her mother, Xian'er will be content." ”。
Meng Shi became more and more distressed, wiped away his tears and promised: "You are a good child, filial piety and kindness, not as much as Lan'er loves Ronghua, don't worry, my mother has figured it out, I won't let Lan'er forget her roots in the future, you are her own sister, if she doesn't help take care of you, who else can she help take care of?" ”
An Ruoxian snuggled into her arms, lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes, and said lightly: "Xian'er can take care of herself, and she doesn't need Sister Lan's help." ”
"Yes, yes, with our Xian'er's talent, we will definitely be able to find Ruyi Langjun in the future." Meng Shi patted her back with a smile, and sighed: "I just don't know if Yilan'er's temperament can find a good family in the future, in terms of character, she is far inferior to you, I am really worried about her." ”
Hearing this, An Ruoxian's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "Xian'er remembers that Sister Lan is already twelve, and it should be the age of looking at others." ”
"Yes, I'm so worried." Meng Shiliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Sister-in-law doesn't care about Lan'er's affairs, and I don't know how to help Lan'er choose a husband when the time comes." ”
Husband......
An Ruoxian sneered in her heart, An Ruolan didn't want to marry Wei Xing in this life, she didn't mind helping her choose a good husband. Doesn't Sister Lan like wealth and luxury, I wonder if she will be satisfied with the noble Fifth Prince?
She clearly remembers that the fifth prince, Zhao Yu, had a tyrannical temperament, and died in the battle for the heir because he was used by the villain, and was the first villain cannon fodder to hit the street in the original text.
In her opinion, such a talent is the most suitable for An Ruolan.
Pairing scourge with cannon fodder, just thinking about it makes her happy.
"Haqiu—"
His back suddenly cooled, and An Ruolan, who was making jewelry in the room, sneezed coldly, startling the lark and the vulture who were serving next to him.
"Caught the cold again?" The eagle frowned.
"I haven't left the door today, how can I catch the cold?" An Ruolan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and muttered: "Someone must be talking about me behind my back." ”
"I don't think so, I'm afraid someone misses you." An Ruojin's voice came from behind the curtain, with joy.
An Ruolan hurriedly stuffed the materials for making jewelry under the mattress, stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Jin, what's the matter, isn't she embroidering a quilt?" ”
An Ruojin lifted the brocade cotton curtain of the warm pavilion, stepped into the partition, and said with a smile: "If I don't come, you won't go over to see me, and I will miss you again, so I have to come by myself." ”
"Isn't it cold and I don't want to go out of the house?" An Ruolan smiled dryly to hide it.
An Ruojin glared again, "I thought you were hiding in the house, what were you doing, it turned out that you were lazy." ”
An Ruolan smiled and said, "I don't want to disturb my sister's work, isn't it in a hurry." ”
Because this family affair came suddenly, and there were twists and turns in the middle, An Ruojin's dragon and phoenix Chengxiang on the happy quilt have not been embroidered yet, and this is not about to get married, so she began to work day and night, but An Ruojin did not let others interfere to help, and she had to embroider it by herself.
"I said it was for me, but I don't know what to think in my heart. Maybe I'm the only one who is so reluctant because of my marriage. An Ruojin walked to the side of the kang and sat down, deliberately pouting and pretending to be angry.
An Ruolan hurriedly smiled and flattered, "My good sister, can't I admit my mistake to you, it's not that I don't want to accompany you more, I'm preparing a wedding gift for you." ”
"That's pretty much it." An Ruojin eased her expression at this time, looked around with great interest, and said, "What gift you prepared, let me take a look first." ”
"That's not going to work." An Ruolan stood in front of her and said mysteriously: "It's pointless to look at it first." ”
"You have a lot of ideas!" An Ruojin didn't force her either, and nodded her forehead with a smile.
An Ruolan grinned proudly, seeing her cheerful smile, An Ruojin suddenly felt sad, her eyes flashed with reluctance, and she sighed: "Thinking that I was about to leave the Hou Mansion, I was a little scared in my heart." ”
"Afraid? Why be afraid? An Ruolan blinked suspiciously, shouldn't she be happy? After all, it's a family affair that I've been looking forward to for so long.
Thinking about it, if she married Wei Xing, she would definitely not be afraid. Even before she got married in her previous life, she was reluctant, but she was not afraid of such love.
It was because she couldn't understand the second sister's mood.
An Ruojin sighed and said melancholy: "It is said that it is difficult to meet after marriage, you are still in the house now, and it will be difficult to see each other several times in the next year, not to mention that you will also get married in the future, and our sisters will go their separate ways, and it will be even more difficult to get together." ”
An Ruolan fell silent, and a wave of sentimentality surged in her heart, especially when she thought that An Ruoyan was going to marry in Jiangnan, and she might only be able to enter once a year in the future, which made her even more uncomfortable.
An Ruojin couldn't bear to see her sad, so she hurriedly pulled out a smile and said: "Look at the stupid things I said, if the sisters can marry well in the future, it will be true, it's too late to be happy, it's rare to meet, and it's worth it." ”
Knowing that she was comforting herself, An Ruolan smiled, took her hand and shook it: "Don't be afraid, if you don't go out in the future, I will come to see you, we sisters can't be rusty." ”
An Ruojin finally held back her tears, and as soon as she was provoked by these words, she immediately couldn't hold back her tears, hugged An Ruolan and cried. An Ruolan also hugged her back and comforted her silently.
After crying for a while, An Ruojin felt much more comfortable, she wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Look at my embarrassed appearance, where do I look like a sister." ”
She just thought that she was going to get married, and she was reluctant, so she came to find An Ruolan, which would vent, and her heart suddenly felt a lot better.
Hearing this, An Ruolan smiled: "I want to be a sister, isn't it late to be born." ”
Speaking of birth, she suddenly remembered one thing, clapped her hands and said happily: "By the way, count the days, my aunt should be about to give birth, and I must guard it then!" ”
Squeezed his eyebrows at An Ruojin again, and teased: "Sister Jin, let's go together, just to be happy!" ”
"You girl!" An Ruojin blushed. R1152
