Coming out of Meng's room, An Ruoxian's expression instantly changed from supple and well-behaved to cold and disdainful.

Her personal maid, the cuckoo, stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, the guards are coming back soon, we have to leave quickly." ”

An Ruoxian nodded and said, "Lock the door, it's not good for people to see the clues." ”

The cuckoo should be, walk two steps quickly to the door, and lock the door with a click.

Then he quickly turned around, put up An Ruoxian's arm, and led the person to rise up, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

The snow on the steps was as clean as ever, and there was no sign of anyone visiting.

Meng Shi was full of joy that he could finally go out, but he didn't think about how An Ruoxian would enter the door without Mrs. An's permission.

The cold wind is howling, heralding the arrival of the next wind and snow.

The figure hidden in the shadows flashed.

When they got up early in the morning, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the eaves, trees, and ground, and the servants who got up early sprinkled salt on the ice, and then swept the steps and roads with brooms to prevent their masters from slipping.

Because there is no hostess in charge of the fifth room, An Ruoxian now follows the fourth lady to ask Mrs. An every day.

When I arrived at Songhe Hall, I unusually didn't see An Ruolan, who was always the first to arrive, and after saluting, An Ruolan quietly asked An Ruoyun beside her: "Why don't you see Sister Lan, doesn't she arrive early every day?" ”

An Ruoyun said softly: "I guess I was too tired yesterday." ”

After saying this, she kept silent, An Ruoxian still had something to ask, so she had to shut up when she saw this.

Before going to the Grange, An Ruoxian and An Ruoyun had a good relationship, but after coming back, An Ruoyun was obviously estranged from An Ruoxian, and An Ruoxian knew that it was because of An Ruolan.

Although she felt very uncomfortable, An Ruoxian didn't care, because she had already seen clearly that her battlefield was above the court, not in the narrow back house.

Coming out of Songhe Hall, An Ruoyun greeted the fourth lady and wanted to visit An Ruolan, An Ruoxian called her and said, "I'm also worried about Sister Lan, so let's go and see it with Sister Yun." ”

Although An Ruoyun didn't want to be with her, there was no reason to refuse, so she nodded and went to the east courtyard with her.

Nothing to say all the way.

When I arrived at the door of De'an Ruolan's room, I happened to meet the Liu family who came out with breakfast.

Seeing that the tray hadn't moved much earlier, An Ruoyun asked worriedly: "Mother Liu, Sister Lan didn't go to ask her grandmother for peace today, but she is not feeling well?" Why do you eat so much for breakfast? ”

Liu Shifu said with a smile: "Yesterday, I would wear it and take it off for a while, but I didn't feel like I was cold, and it didn't matter much." He said politely: "The two young ladies came to see the young lady?" Please come in, it's windy outside, don't get caught in the cold. ”

did not put on an unwelcome look at An Ruoxian because of the past festivals.

The two of them bowed their heads and asked the maid to report and enter the house.

Sick and cold, An Ruolan was too lazy to move in the bed, and only got up when she heard that An Ruoyun and the two were coming.

"It made the two sisters laugh." smiled faintly, and did not look cramped because his appearance had not been taken care of.

"We're bothering." An Ruoxian smiled back, and she would also say polite words.

An Ruoyun sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes, took An Ruolan's hand and said, "Sister Lan, why are you suddenly sick, what did the doctor say?" ”

She is such a slender and sentimental character, but in An Ruoxian's eyes, she is hypocritical.

An Ruoxian secretly pouted disdainfully.

An Ruolan smiled bitterly: "You cry for such a trivial matter, I won't dare to bump it in the future, otherwise there will be a lot of water in my room." ”

Her expression was too exaggerated, and she laughed at An Ruoyun at once.

An Ruoyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "Sister Lan, don't make fun of me!" ”

"Yes, Sister Yun is also worried about Sister Lan." An Ruoxian pulled the corners of her stiff mouth and laughed twice, feeling more and more that the sisters were pretentious.

didn't sit for long, An Ruoyun and An Ruoxian left, and knowing that An Ruolan was sick, the other sisters also went to see her.

An Ruoxian once again recognized An Ruolan's popular Cheng dù in the mansion.

I can't help but sigh, in the original work, An Ruolan can be said to be a character who is hated by thousands of people, and once she was reborn, she reversed.

I still can't look down on An Ruolan in my heart, and I still have hatred, but An Ruoxian no longer plans to go against An Ruolan. The reason why he instigated Qin Yiqing to imitate An Ruolan in his previous life was just that he thought that An Ruolan was not worthy of Wei Xing, and he didn't want to see Wei Xing repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhao Yan lost a right-hand man, so he made a move to obstruct it, and now the two are already an ironclad pair, even if it is to protect Wei Xing, she has to let go of her opinion on An Ruolan, she doesn't want to mistake big with a small one.

An Ruoxian is no longer the An Ruoxian of the year, from not knowing how to hide it at the beginning, to pretending to be forbearing, to now being truly indifferent and calm, in eight years, she has completely transformed. The current An Ruolan is just an insignificant person to her.

Back in the room, An Ruoxian locked the door as usual, took out the list of key characters in the original work that she had listed from her memories, and wondered where to start.

There was a knock on the door, and she quickly hid the list and raised her voice, "Come in." ”

The maid cuckoo and Qiulan pushed the door in, and after closing the door, they said, "Miss, the son has asked someone to pass the word." ”

"Brother Mirror?" An Ruoxian was surprised.

Qiulan bowed her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Childe asked Miss to get together in three days." ”

An Ruoxian was stunned and said, "I know." ”

I couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in my heart, she only returned home for a few days, and Brother Jing sent someone to ask her to meet, it seems that he really misses him very much.

With a roll of her eyes, she pressed her heart full of joy and expectation, and pretended to be calm and ordered: "You go and inform Brother Jing, and say that I will go to Tianyuan Temple to pray for the elders in three days, and let him wait for me there." ”

Qiulan answered in a low voice and turned around and walked out the door.

An Ruoxian instructed Du Juan again, "Go and arrange it, and spread the word as soon as the time comes." ”

The cuckoo was also ordered to retreat.

An Ruoxian is very satisfied with the two "maids" sent by Zhao Jing, although the names have not changed, but the cores of the two maids are different from before. Zhao Jing was worried that there was no one around her to protect her, so she sent the real Du Juan and Qiu Lan away, and sent two female secret guards with martial arts Yi Rong Cheng Du Juan and Qiu Lan to do things for her, which made her much easier.

Thinking that she would be able to meet Zhao Jing in three days, An Ruoxian was a little calm, she didn't think about her plans anymore, but began to choose the clothes and jewelry to wear on the day of prayer.

An Ruoxian, who was busy matching clothes, didn't notice that the roof tiles were quietly closed.

At dusk the next day, An Ruoxian told Mrs. An about going to Tianyuan Temple to pray for blessings.

The old lady didn't agree, and said: "It's going to be the New Year soon, the house is busy, don't run around, if you can't be idle, take someone to take care of the courtyard of Xinyue Garden." ”

An Ruoxian had already expected that she would not get her wish lightly, but she was not discouraged, and said with a faint smile: "Grandmother, it is precisely because of the Chinese New Year that my granddaughter wants to go to the temple to pray for blessings, first, to thank the Buddha for his blessing this year, and secondly, to pray for the Buddha to protect the Houfu Antai next year." Besides, isn't Sister Lan sick, her granddaughter heard that the abbot master of Tianyuan Temple had some research on medical science, so she wanted to ask the abbot master to prescribe a prescription to help Sister Lan recover as soon as possible. ”

When the old lady looked at her, she didn't see half of the falsehood, and said with satisfaction: "You have a heart, but it has snowed a few days hard, and it is not suitable to go up the mountain." ”

"In this way, I can show my piety, and my granddaughter is willing to go on this trip, and I ask my grandmother to agree." An Ruoxian is blessed.

The old lady stared at her for a long time before she said, "If you have such intentions, I won't stop you, and you should pay attention to safety on the road." ”

An Ruoxian's face was overjoyed, "Thank you, grandmother!" ”

The old lady smiled, and then talked about her affairs in the Grange, "Mrs. Jiang of the Grange said that you are very capable, often help her dry food and medicine, and teach her some easy ways to do things, she likes you very much." ”

An Ruoxian was shocked, could it be that her grandmother found something, otherwise why did she mention the Grange?!

Holding back her anxiety and panic, she replied respectfully: "Mrs. Jiang takes care of her granddaughter very much, and her granddaughter should help her do things." ”

She has helped Jiang Niangzi a few times, but that was to inquire about the news, and later Zhao Jing often took her out to play, so she asked Yi Rongcheng to become her maid to help Jiang Niangzi do things, this is to create a kind and virtuous image for herself, in order to be taken back to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.

And her purpose was indeed achieved, and the reason why the old lady would take her back was because she saw that her table in the Grange was very good.

The old lady bowed her head with satisfaction and said, "It's a good thing to go to the Grange to cultivate your self-cultivation, I see that you are much more sensible than before, and you must keep it in the future." ”

Hearing this, An Ruoxian breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she was thinking too much, and her grandmother should have just mentioned it casually.

After a few more words of gossip, An Ruoxian excused herself to visit An Ruolan and bid farewell to the old lady.

After she left, Mama Song said, "The slave maid looked at Miss Ten and changed. ”

The old lady was silent with her rosary, and said after a long time: "As long as she doesn't do things that endanger the Hou Mansion and hurt her family, it doesn't matter if she changes it or not." ”

Mama Song's eyes rolled, as if she had an understanding.

It was past the time of the lamp, and after the two grandmothers of Qin and Zhang and Liu's Bailing accompanied An Ruolan for dinner, they closed the door, and everyone sat in the warm pavilion and chatted together.

Today's room is much more lively, because there are two more people - four happiness and eight yuan.

An Ruolan's illness has not yet recovered, her face is a little pale, and she sneezes and coughs from time to time while sitting on the kang, looking a little sluggish.

Liu persuaded her to rest, but she refused, and insisted on nesting on the hot kang to do needlework, so Liu had to cover her legs with a mattress, and put a thick fox fur on her shoulders to wrap her into a zongzi.

Bailing and Sixi Bayuan, and a few little girls around the fireside to play the line, a group of people are better than who does it, Sixi and Bayuan because they have just learned, they don't participate, they only serve as judges, and after everyone compares, they will hand over the network to Qin and Zhang for safekeeping.

Bai Ling hit a jade Ruyi, and rushed to An Ruolan's side and said, "Miss, do you think my style looks good?" ”

An Ruolan glanced up, it was a wishful loop, the lower tassel was braided with pipa knots and bows, the patterns on the butterfly wings were still complex and beautiful, and the colors were bright and changeable, and it looked like it was about to fly away from a distance.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, you still have such craftsmanship, give it to me!" ”

He immediately snatched it and stuffed it under his mattress.

Bai Ling's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to snatch it back, so he could only pout, and the little daughter-in-law sat back in her place and continued to work.

An Ruolan snickered beside her.

The rest of the girls all laughed and said, "Sister Bailing, you have nothing to compare with this round." ”

Bai Ling snorted: "I admit defeat, who let Miss appreciate my craftsmanship, it was originally meant to be given to Miss, let's fight again next time!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

In the midst of laughter, there was an abrupt knock on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Sister Lan, are you resting?" ”

Hearing who was outside, Bai Ling frowned and muttered, "Why did she come here so late?" ”

An Ruolan smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "The person who comes is a guest, go and invite people in." ”

"Hee-hee, Bailing, I'll go with you!" Four happy Mao recommended himself.

Bai Ling pouted, "No need." Reluctantly went to open the door.

The rest of the people gathered up and stood aside.

An Ruoxian entered the door, entered the warm pavilion under the guidance of Bai Ling, and saw two fresh faces, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Who are these two girls?" ”

Because Sixi and Bayuan didn't wear the maid costumes of the Hou Mansion, they couldn't see their identities at once.

An Ruolan said with a smile: "It was the maid arranged for me by my father-in-law when I went to live in Zhongfu before, and because I heard that I was sick, he came to take care of me for two days. ”

"I see." An Ruoxian said with a smile.

Sixi and Bayuan blessed her with a blessed body.

An Ruolan asked with a smile: "Sister Xian came over at this time, is there something wrong?" ”

He raised his chin to Sixi and ordered, "Go and move an embroidery pier for Miss Ten." ”

Sixi responded skillfully, brought the embroidery pier with thick cushions from the next room, and when she walked to An Ruoxian's side, she suddenly fell to the ground with a sigh and threw the embroidery pier out.

Everyone was startled, and they hurriedly helped her up, and in the chaos, only An Ruolan saw An Ruoxian pull her foot out from under the embroidery pier in pain.

Bayuan reproached: "Why are you so careless! Why do you stay in the Hou Mansion to take care of Miss, I think we should go back to the fourth master as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble to Miss! ”

Sixi stood up with sobs and said aggrievedly: "I didn't mean to ......" with an expression that was about to cry.

Bayuan glared at her, leaned over to put the embroidery pier away, bowed to An Ruoxian and said, "Please forgive Miss Ten, Sixi has always been careless, and he didn't mean to offend you." I don't know if I hurt Miss Ten? ”

An Ruoxian shrunk the toes that were hit, and smiled gently: "It's okay, I'm not injured." ”

"Great." Ba Yuan showed a happy expression and said sincerely: "Miss Ten is really kind. ”

An Ruoxian's smile became more and more gentle, and she cursed stupidly in her heart*.

After a mistake, An Ruolan had to ask again, "What's the matter with Sister Xian?" ”

An Ruoxian hurriedly turned back to the topic and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my sister wants to go to Tianyuan Temple to pray for blessings in a few days, and my grandmother has already agreed, so I came to ask Sister Lan if she wants to go together." ”

An Ruolan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she turned into a smile, "I want to go with Sister Xian, but my body is ......" smiled helplessly. R1152
