Fang Bining didn't mention those side doors.

An Ruoxian was still waiting for the old lady to ask about the holy water, but she had the patience to wait, but Meng Shi did not, hearing that Fang Bining was accused of being a noble concubine, Meng Shi couldn't wait any longer anyway, she begged An Ruoxian to save her quickly.

She can't stand her husband being snatched away by another woman!

An Ruoxian didn't have much patience originally, although she had lived two lives, but in terms of age, experience, and patience, she couldn't compare with the old lady who had been immersed in the back house for decades and controlled the back house for decades, or it should be said that it was far inferior.

As soon as Meng Shi opened her mouth, An Ruoxian became more and more anxious, and after a few days of silence, she finally couldn't help but open her mouth.

This morning, in front of everyone, An Ruoxian knelt on the ground in panic and said to the old lady: "The granddaughter is guilty, please also ask the grandmother to punish her!" ”

An Ruolan was also present, and when she heard this, she roughly guessed her purpose and looked at the old lady without moving.

The old lady was silent.

Seeing this, everyone did not dare to speak.

The floor was cold and hard, An Ruoxian knelt on the ground and shivered, it was not that she was acting, but when she knelt down just now, in order to be realistic, she didn't control her strength at all, and after her knees fell hard, she was so painful that tears were about to come out, and it was cold, it was difficult for her not to tremble.

Now she just wanted to stand up quickly, but the old lady didn't speak, and she didn't even dare to move.

After a long time, the old lady slowly spoke: "Tell me what mistakes you have made first." ”

An Ruoxian was stunned, she had already spoken first. The old lady still has to pretend to be confused? She didn't believe that the old lady had heard nothing from her.

With a thousand turns in her heart, An Ruoxian pondered and said, "I wonder if my grandmother has heard that my granddaughter is fortunate enough to ask for the holy water of the goddess?" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? The old lady asked in surprise.

An Ruoxian felt that she was about to vomit to death.

Murong explained: "Mother. The daughter-in-law knows a little about this, and it is rumored in the market that Sister Xian got the guidance of the goddess in Tianyuan Temple, and she also asked for holy water for the fifth aunt to cure her illness. ”

"There's such a thing." The old lady suddenly realized, and praised An Ruoxian: "You are really filial piety, go to pray for the Hou Mansion, and ask for medicine for your sixth sister at the same time." Don't forget to pray to God for your crazy mother-in-law. ”

An Ruoxian choked, and then remembered that the excuse for going to Tianyuan Temple at that time was to pray for the Hou Mansion.

She smiled dryly: "Grandmother has won the award, and her granddaughter just met the goddess in Tianyuan Temple by chance. Remembering that the holy water of the goddess can cure all diseases, it is because he asked the goddess for holy water. ”

"Oh, it turned out that it happened to happen, and I asked for holy water by the way." The old lady nodded knowingly.

An Ruoxian was speechless. The old lady said so. The whole thing tastes completely different.

Without dwelling on the process of asking for holy water, the old lady said, "You didn't say that you were guilty, you haven't said what kind of crime it is." ”

An Ruoxian couldn't make up her mind, what if the old lady really punished her?

But half of the words have already been said, how can I round the field now with regret?

A fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead, An Ruoxian finally chose to act according to the plan, she trembled and said: "My granddaughter got the holy water, and I originally wanted to give it to my grandmother. Let the grandmother treat the mother's illness, but I am afraid that the grandmother will be disgusted with the matter of the goddess. I didn't dare to tell my grandmother, so I quietly gave my mother a ......"

Speaking of this, she raised her eyes expectantly to look at the old lady, firstly, to act, to seek some tolerance, and secondly, to see the old lady's reaction.

The old lady was silent again, and muttered for a while before she said solemnly: "You really did something wrong, acting so secretly, if it spreads, wouldn't it trap the Hou Mansion for injustice, so that outsiders mistakenly think that we treated the Meng family harshly and deliberately did not let her be treated?" ”

The second lady also said: "Yes, although the fifth aunt has often been sick in the past two years, her food and clothing are the same as before, and she also spends a lot of money every month to see a doctor. ”

An Ruoxian was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The granddaughter doesn't dare, the granddaughter is just ......"

"Okay, you don't have to explain." The old lady waved her hand to interrupt her words, and said coldly: "Forgive me for being young, and I think that you are a filial piety, I won't punish you this time, but the matter of you secretly giving Meng Shi holy water can't be passed on, I will find a way to explain the matter of holy water to the outside world, and you will obediently think about it in the room during this time." ”

An Ruoxian raised her head in horror, if she couldn't leave the house, how could she meet Zhao Jing? They have made an appointment to meet at Henglai Restaurant every ten days!

"How, you don't want to?" The old lady frowned disapprovingly.

An Ruoxian hurriedly lowered her head and said softly: "The granddaughter will follow her grandmother's instructions and think carefully in the room." The cold hand propped up on the ground slowly clenched.

"Hmm." The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up." ”

An Ruoxian should be, supporting her cold and numb legs, and staggered to her feet.

An Ruolan went up to help her, An Ruoxian was stunned, and said, "Thank you, Sister Lan." In his heart, he only thought that An Ruolan was acting.

An Ruolan shook her head and helped her to sit down on the embroidery pier on the side.

Seeing this scene, the old lady didn't know whether to be happy or sad, paused, and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law, Sister Xian has also reached the marriageable age, and it is inconvenient for Meng to plan for her now, so you can worry about being the eldest lady and arrange arrangements for her." ”

Murong's jaw head should be.

An Ruoxian just sat down, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up excitedly again, and rushed out: "I don't want it!" ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes moved to her.

Realizing the gaffe, An Ruoxian hurriedly explained with a dry smile: "I mean I don't want to get married yet, and I want to stay in the Hou Mansion to serve my grandmother for a few more years." ”

The old lady glanced at her lightly and said, "I know that you are filial, but the girl's family will marry sooner or later, and now that your brothers are married, there is no need for you to have your sisters-in-law to serve me." ”

"But...... But the second sister and the sixth sister were only engaged at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the granddaughter also wanted to ...... "An Ruoxian moved out of the example of An Ruolan and An Ruojin."

The old lady interrupted, "You are you, do you think you can compare with your two sisters?" It doesn't matter if it's your second sister. Or your sixth sister, there are countless famous sons who come to ask for marriage, and they are not worried about getting married. That's the case, if you are so promising, why should I worry about you? Or do you think that letting your aunt take care of you is wronging you? ”

"......" An Ruoxian was silent.

Can it be compared with An Ruolan An Ruojin? Her answer is naturally yes, and even in her heart, An Ruolan and An Ruojin can't compare with her!

So she looks down on these ignorant backhouse women. Only the value of a person will be determined by birth!

She never thought she was worse than An Ruolan An Ruojin!

But she can't deny it.

Seeing that she was silent, the old lady made a final decision, "That's it." Then he waved his hand. Motioned for everyone to stand down.

Everyone got up and said goodbye.

An Ruolan and An Ruoyun left together, and on the way, An Ruoyun asked puzzledly: "Sister Lan doesn't hate An Ruoxian, why did she go to help her?" I saw no gratitude in her eyes. ”

An Ruolan smiled. He said, "I'll help her." And not to make her grateful. ”

Instead, he asked: "I just have a doubt, so I took the opportunity to approach her, Sister Yun was sitting next to Sister Ten, did you smell a faint fragrance of lotus flowers on her?" ”

An Ruoyun frowned and recalled, shook her head and said, "I didn't pay attention." ”

"That's right." An Ruolan was thoughtful, when she met An Ruoxian a few times before, she always smelled a vague aroma on An Ruoxian's body, but she deliberately smelled it today. But she didn't smell anything, which made her very puzzled.

An Ruoyun said: "Maybe she used the incense of lotus flowers." ”

An Ruolan shook her head. She is sure that it is not incense, even if it is a high-quality incense, it is impossible to exude such a real fragrance like a real lotus flower.

An Ruoyun blinked suspiciously, and said, "If Sister Lan is in doubt, you might as well ask her directly, this kind of thing is not a secret." ”

An Ruolan came back to her senses from her thoughts and said with a smile: "No need, maybe it's really incense, and I didn't smell it carefully." ”

The two then changed the subject and talked about the next matter.

Back in the room, An Ruolan didn't feel at ease no matter how she thought about it, thought for a long time, and wrote a letter to Zhong Siye, asking Zhong Siye to help check it.

When Zhong Siye received the letter, he smacked his tongue in surprise and said, "When did Sister Bao become so sharp?" It stands to reason that she would not be able to smell the lotus fragrance on An Ruoxian's body. ”

Knocking on the table, he discussed with Mr. Yi: "You said that if I destroy the holy water, will there be many dignitaries and dignitaries who hire killers to assassinate me?" ”

"......" Mr. Yi squinted at him and said, "Master, do you have to go against the people of Quan Shengjing?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhong Siye waved his hand again and again, and said sincerely: "I'm just taking precautions, I don't want everyone to be led by the holy water, think about it, if the holy water spreads again, whoever masters the source of the holy water in the future can command the world, and then won't the world be in chaos?" ”

Mr. Yi's heart jumped, but his eyes became more and more surprised, and even shocked, and said, "I thought you would be unserious in your life!" ”

"I just kept silent until the crisis came." Fourth Master Zhong let out a long sigh of relief.

Mr. Yi said: "You only think of the bad side, it may not be the emperor who will master the holy water in the future, after all, in this world, no one's power can compare to the emperor." ”

"Judging from the eyes of the second prince who is currently looking at the second prince through the sister paper, this is the case for the time being." Zhong Siye rubbed his chin and muttered.

Mr. Yi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What are you muttering?" ”

Zhong Siye waved his hand, "I'll think about it again, you just send someone to keep an eye on Prince Gong." ”

Mr. Yi frowned tightly, "What you said is light, King Jin is because he has a little friendship with you, so he let you go in private, King Gong is not King Jin, it is not easy to monitor King Gong's mansion, you must know that it took me two years to send one person in." ”

"I know it's not easy, otherwise I wouldn't have left it to you." Zhong Siye shrugged his shoulders boredly, "Within three years, King Gong will rebel, and I also want to be just in case." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Yi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he asked ruthlessly: "King Gong's mind can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, but how can you be sure that he will definitely rebel within three years." ”

Zhong Siye refused to say any more, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Mr. Yi was angry, endured it, but finally couldn't hold back and walked away.

As soon as he left, Zhong Siye slowly opened his eyes, called out the secret guard hiding in the dark in a low voice, and said, "Go and send a message to King Jin and An Wuye, Lantern Festival Jinxiu Building, and ask them if they have an appointment." ”

The dark guard twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and his jaw should be, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zhong Siye sat up, raised his forehead with a headache and said: "Some of them are busy now, since they have been involved, then whether it is the safety of the Weiguo Mansion or He Yun's life, it is up to outsiders to have the final say." ”

The cigarette smoke curled indoors, warm as spring, Zhong Siye looked at the green grass tips that had just emerged in the cold wind outside the window, and sighed melancholy.

Lantern Festival.

Before it gets dark, the streets are already full of lantern stalls, and lanterns of various shapes and colors hang on ropes and gently sway in the wind, as if to greet customers.

Wei Shao made an appointment with An Ruolan and Chang Yuexing, and Wei Xing invited Zhao Yan and Zhao Miao, and the six of them went shopping for lanterns together.

Along the way, the three girls chattered without stopping, from lanterns to snacks on the side of the road, everything was discussed, and the three flower messengers followed closely behind, acting as an entourage carrying things.

Watching Wei Xing keep buying lanterns for An Ruolan, Zhao Miao kept picking snacks for Chang Yuexing, Zhao Yan was also drunk, shaking his fan and sighing: "When it is most lonely and lively, the cold wind erodes the bones and the heart is sad." ”

"What the hell are you muttering, don't you like fans, these are for you." Wei Shao bit the sugar gourd and threw a bunch of folding fans into Zhao Yan's arms.

Zhao Yan was stunned, and a warm current surged in his heart.

So after shopping down a street, An Ruolan carried no less than eight lanterns - all of them were sent by the guards; Chang Yuexing couldn't hold on to walk - Zhao Miao fed too much; Zhao Yan's belt was full of fans—all given by Wei Shao.

Looking at the three people who were already unable to move, the group of six had to go to the river embankment and choose a pavilion to sit down, and put the lights on while resting.

An Ruolan's lanterns were distributed to everyone, and everyone lit candles, pushed the lanterns to the shore, and silently made a wish.

The flickering candle flame floats farther and farther along the water, like a little firefly in the night sky, and like a twinkling star, romantic and beautiful.

An Ruolan looked up at Wei Xing, and unexpectedly made eye contact with him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and held each other tightly with their hands.

No one needs to say the warmth of this moment.

Zhao Yan silently rubbed to Wei Shao's side and asked, "What wish did you make?" ”

Wei Shao glanced at him and said, "Of course, the family is happy, my brother and sister-in-law are happy, and I met the true son of heaven as soon as possible." ”

"Forehead ......" Zhao Yan concluded, and it seemed that he was not mentioned at all?

Touching the tip of his nose, he said: "You are fierce and domineering, you will definitely not be able to marry in Shengjing, so let's do it, if you haven't married out by the fifteenth year, I will be wronged and wronged and make a pair with you, anyway, you treat me as a brother, and we are not related by blood, and it is ...... for me to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Shao raised his hand and covered his forehead, "I don't have a fever, why do you talk nonsense, I will be fifteen in two months, isn't this sure that I can't get married?" Do you want me to be happy? ”

"......" Zhao Yan was messy in the wind. (To be continued......)
