Chapter 80: Out of the House (Second Watch)
Mrs. Meng stayed in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion for three days, and she did not reluctantly leave until Qiao personally came to pick her up.
Before parting, she said to the old lady: "Old sister, we are not young, compared to when we were young, rather than worrying about some chores all day long, it is better to live an easy life, and now the queen mother only raises flowers and feeds birds, and the children are older." ā
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Qiao's who was greeting Murong Clan, her eyes curved, and said, "I love Yuxia the most, after all, my daughter-in-law is not as good as my daughter-in-law, but to put it in my heart, even if Yuxia says that my eldest daughter-in-law is not good, I will be angry." ā
The old lady was quite touched by this, and said again and again: "My sister is more thorough than me." ā
Old Madam Meng patted the back of her hand again and said: "After staying for these two days, I see that your eldest daughter-in-law is also good, the old sister can rest assured that she will take care of things, even if there are no concerns, you can give you a point, and you don't need to worry about everything." ā
The daughter-in-law was praised, and the old lady was very happy, and said, "What my sister said is that it seems that our sisters can get together from time to time in the future." ā
"That's it." Old Madam Meng smiled and said.
The two old sisters looked at each other and smiled.
An Ruolan and An Wenyan also came to see off their grandmother, and the two brothers and sisters were told again, and they were very reluctant to go to Meng Guofu to visit the elderly in the future.
Mrs. Meng responded and stepped into the carriage.
The next two days were uneventful.
Soon it was the day before the wine was set in the Patriotic Mansion.
On this day, except for greeting the old lady, An Ruolan never stepped out of the door again. I thought that I would be able to see the guard tomorrow. She was so excited that she couldn't sit still all day, and in order to avoid her abnormal appearance from arousing the suspicion of others, she had to hide in her room.
Afternoon. An Ruojin came to play with her, and inadvertently chatted about entering the palace that day, so she asked: "I remember that Sister Mi'er agreed to take you to the banquet in the Weiguo Mansion at that time, how about it, are you going to go tomorrow?" ā
An Ruolan originally planned to hide it, but when asked about this, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I'm going. But sister, you also know that my grandfather didn't allow people from our Hou Mansion to go, so I went secretly. Don't tell anyone else. ā
Seeing that she was nervous, An Ruojin was also infected, and her speech was lowered a lot, and she asked, "Then how are you going?" ā
"My cousin told me to find an excuse to go out tomorrow. She was waiting for me in Taibai Building. An Ruolan whispered.
"Oh." An Ruojin nodded knowingly. Then he asked, "Then are you going out of the house under an excuse to go shopping?" If so, how are you going to get out? Grandmother and Aunt Wu will definitely not agree to let you take only one maid out. ā
"This ......" Hearing this, An Ruolan groaned, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
She really didn't expect this, her grandmother said that it was difficult for her mother, and whether her mother agreed to let her out of the house or not, she reluctantly agreed. I'm afraid I'll send someone to follow her, and. That person is very likely to be Mama Li, if that's the case, it will be really difficult for her to get out at that time.
After all, she doesn't have acquaintances and friends who often come and go, otherwise she can use the excuse to go to a friend's house for a small gathering.
"Why don't you go out without the fifth aunt?" An Ruojin built yƬ road.
An Ruolan shook her head: "This won't work." ā
If she goes out without her mother this time, then it will be even more difficult for her to go out again in the future, and she can't ruin her future plans for the sake of temporary convenience.
She couldn't help but bow her head and ponder.
An Ruojin also lowered her head and pondered, and suddenly, she clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes!" ā
"What?" An Ruolan looked up excitedly, looking at her with shining eyes.
An Ruojin smiled proudly, shook her head and said, "In a while, I will send someone to the Yongning Hou Mansion to deliver a post, and I will take Sister Lan to her mansion tomorrow to play." ā
"You mean......" An Ruolan's eyes flashed.
Before she finished speaking, An Ruojin bowed her head and said: "You don't have to bring so many servants to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, you just bring Bailing, and I will pick a little maid to take with you." ā
The sound is deliberately accentuated on the word "small".
"Mm-hmm, I see." An Ruolan nodded, her eyes as bright as stars.
The two sisters grinned and knew it.
At the time of the lantern that day, An Ruolan accompanied Meng Shi to dinner in Xinyue Garden, and told him that he would go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion with An Ruojin tomorrow.
Meng Shi didn't agree at first, and asked her when she met Miss Yongning Hou, and learned that she met on the day she entered the palace, so she was a little relieved. Later, Meng asked again and again, until it was confirmed that it was only the three little sisters who were gathering together, and there was no one else, so he reluctantly nodded, and told her not to lose her manners in the Yongning Hou Mansion.
An Ruolan responded to Meng's advice one by one, but she became more and more puzzled in her heart, why was her mother so afraid of her going out of the house and making friends? This was true in previous lives, and it is also like this in this life, what is the reason for this?
With this doubt and full of excitement, An Ruolan spent a difficult night.
Early the next morning, almost as soon as it was dawn, An Ruolan got up, and after breakfast, she immediately ran to An Ruojin's room and urged An Ruojin to go out.
An Ruojin just got up and finished washing, and the breakfast was useless, and she was urged, and she was suddenly annoyed, so she had to hurriedly use a small half bowl of bird's nest porridge and go with her to greet the old lady.
The old lady knew the plans of the two sisters, and she did not leave anyone behind, and when they had asked for peace, she let them go out.
It wasn't until she got into the carriage that An Ruolan stopped, and waited for An Ruojin with a flattering face.
An Ruojin ate a snack with tea, and stopped when she was full, she glanced at An Ruolan and said, "I only found out today that you are so anxious!" ā
"Huh." An Ruolan still smiled flatteringly.
An Ruojin snorted, pointed to the little maid she brought, and said in a demanding voice: "Hurry up, you have changed your clothes." ā
An Ruolan nodded, quickly took off the outermost layer of clothes, and put on the clothes that the maid had taken off.
The maid looked like she was about nine years old, and she was about the same size as An Ruolan, so the two of them changed their clothes and wore them, but they still fit. At this time, An Ruolan was glad that she was taller than her peers, otherwise it would be really difficult to get by.
The two changed their clothes, and An Ruojin asked in a low voice, "Did you bring a change of clothes?" You can't follow up as a maid, can you? ā
"Don't worry, I brought it." An Ruolan patted the burden that Bai Ling was carrying behind him.
An Ruojin nodded reassuringly.
As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived in front of the Taibai Building, An Ruojin had already said hello, the coachman pulled the reins with a sigh, and the carriage slowly stopped.
"Sister Zhao likes the jade shrimp dumplings in Taibai Lou, so you go and buy a few drawers to come back." An Ruojin raised her voice.
An Ruolan answered in a low voice, pretending to be the maid who was late, and jumped out of the carriage with her head down. (To be continued......)
