The two sisters told each other to keep it secret, and beat their respective maids, and then returned to the Hou Mansion as if nothing happened.

Back at home, An Ruolan did not go to give gifts one by one, but gathered the sisters together and let everyone choose what they liked, but she first left two pairs of butterfly studs out, planning to give them to Zhou Mi'er and Meng Yahui in the future.

Although it is a random choice, the girls are very polite and polite, you push me, let the sisters and sisters next to you choose first.

An Ruoxian is naturally among the crowd, and while following the prevarication, she secretly despises the hypocrisy of everyone.

After a long time, no one was willing to choose first, and in the end, An Ruojin and An Ruolan had to make the decision, and according to the order of the eldest and youngest, they chose the right one for everyone.

With such a distribution method, it is naturally impossible for everyone to get what they like, although now, everyone is still very happy, after all, it is a simple gift, and the gift you get is indeed suitable for yourself.

As the saying goes, what you like is not as good as what you like, as long as it is suitable, everyone says that it is good, but you don't like it at the beginning, and you will like it more and more later.

Even An Ruoxian can't find fault with this.

The gifts of the elders are naturally delivered to the door in person.

Needless to say, several aunts were very happy to receive the gifts, and they all hugged An Ruolan and rubbed and praised, beware of liver babies, which made An Ruojin's sisters almost blush. The old lady was even more happy, and immediately put on a set of jewelry, and looked left and right with the handle mirror, smiling from ear to ear.

Although I was a little distressed about the six hundred taels of silver that I spent, I saw the smiling faces of everyone when they got the gifts. An Ruolan felt that it was worth the money.

The next few days were uneventful.

Just when An Ruolan and An Ruojin almost forgot that it happened in the gold and silver building, a muffled thunder smashed down without warning.

As we enter February, the sunshine gradually increases. The continuous warming of the temperature has caused the ice and snow that has accumulated for most of the winter to melt rapidly, and in the courtyard, in the flowerbed and grassland without ice and snow, the tender yellow grass blades have straightened their waists, and they are quite thriving, while the brown bare branches are on the branches. A little sprout is gradually emerging.

It is conceivable that this year will be a bumper year.

Early in the morning. The wind was still very cool, An Ruojin wore a velvet cloak and led the maid to hurriedly walk through the stone path and through the garden arch. Familiarly arrived at the front of the main courtyard of the long house.

Although the weather has gradually warmed up. In the morning and evening, the temperature is still very low, and the cold wind is biting, so in order to avoid the cold, you still need to pay attention to keeping warm when you go out in the morning and evening.

An Ruojin was called by a message from the Murong family.

Just now she went to greet her grandmother, and before entering the door, she was quietly called aside by the big maid beside her mother, who said that her mother had something important to discuss with her. After asking her grandmother to say goodbye, she immediately went back to Suotong Garden.

The maid who passed the message looked cautious and anxious. didn't mention what was going on, which made her puzzled and faintly uneasy.

Yes, after coming out of the Songhe Hall, she hurried over.

Entered the courtyard gate, passed through the courtyard, after the maid announced, An Ruojin went straight into the main hall, the maid came up to remove the cloak for her and hung it up, and she entered the warm pavilion on the east side of the main hall by herself.

Murong was already waiting in the warm pavilion, and when he saw her coming, he beckoned: "There is no charcoal burning in the house, it is very cold, come and sit on the kang." ”

An Ruojin answered, put her hands in fox fur sleeves, walked to the kang and sat down, took off her shoes and climbed up, and Murong covered the warm small velvet blanket on her lap.

Giggling, An Ruojin asked, "Mother, what's going on, you are in such a hurry to call me?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Murong's face froze, and he took on a stern look.

This change made An Ruojin more and more uneasy, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to ask, Murong asked sharply: "Jin'er, you honestly told your mother, when you went out of the house with Sister Lan a few days ago, did you meet with the man in private?" ”

Meet with the man in private -

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and An Ruojin was stunned, and she was in a trance in front of her.

"I didn't!" Almost subconsciously, she retorted loudly.

After yelling, she calmed down suddenly, and then realized that her mother was talking about the day she went to the gold and silver building to buy jewelry.

Holding back her tears, she said aggrievedly: "Who humiliated her daughter so much? Mother, don't you believe your daughter?! ”

It is a felony to have a private meeting with a man, even if she doesn't care about her reputation, she doesn't dare to ignore the face of the Hou Mansion, how could she do such a thing that damages her reputation!

Murong was taken aback by her daughter's excited and embarrassed reaction, she couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Mother naturally doesn't believe those gossips, but this matter was told to me by your mother Xie Bo, and I ...... it."

Before the words were finished, An Ruojin was already trembling with anger, she said how could such gossip come out, but it turned out to be related to the Xie family!

She dared to be sure that Xie Wu must be making trouble behind her back!

The moments of that day came to mind, her eyes turned red, and she sobbed: "Since my mother believed her, why did she come to ask me? ”

With that, she turned over and got off the kang, and her shoes were not firmly on, so she sobbed and hid her face and ran out.

"Jin'er!" Murong panicked and hurriedly chased out and shouted, but he couldn't save his daughter's back from leaving.

An Ruojin was embarrassed and indignant, she didn't expect that Xie Wu would be so shameless, not only concealing the truth, but also picking up Mrs. Xie to slander her private meeting with men, did he want to see her innocence ruined and her reputation ruined before he was satisfied? If he wanted to use this to force the Hou Mansion to agree to the family affairs of the two families, then even if she was a monk and a nun, she would never let him get his wish!

If it was just slander from outsiders, what made her unacceptable was that her mother, who had always loved her, believed the nonsense of others so lightly, and even came to question her, how could she not be sad?

Since childhood, I have never suffered the slightest grievance, and this time, An Ruojin has tasted enough sadness.

rushed all the way back to the wing room of the east courtyard of Yirong Garden, An Ruojin kicked everyone out, closed the door directly, and cried at the head of the bed in the dark, and she even had the idea of suicide.

Outside the house, the Murong clan had already followed with a group of maids, knocking on the door and saying good things, but there was no movement in the door.

Murong was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, so he had to ask someone to go to An Ruolan's room and call An Ruolan over, hoping that she could persuade An Ruojin.

At that time, An Ruolan was practicing calligraphy in the room, and the strokes were very serious, Liu was grinding ink on the left, and Bailing was writing big characters on the right, and the house was burning incense, and the green smoke was curling, which was very quiet and peaceful.

Qiao Lu ran over at this moment, looking at a loss and panicked.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the movement, An Ruolan put down her pen and looked up at the frightened maid.

"I, my young lady has an accident...... Qiao Lu couldn't say anything, he shrank back, and his voice was very low.

An Ruolan couldn't help frowning, walked out and said, "Lead me to take a look." ”

Qiao Lu nodded busily, and respectfully led her to An Ruojin's room, and Bai Ling and Liu followed. (To be continued......)
