Chapter 145: Opportunity
An Ruolan and An Ruoke pouted at Wei Qi's back as he left.
"Inexplicable!" An Ruoke snorted indignantly, and An Ruolan comforted her: "Okay, don't be angry with such unworthy people." ”
That's what I said, but I still have to remind Sanniang that Mrs. Chen has let people spread such words, if you listen to Chen Ershao's affairs again, I am afraid that she will not have a high reputation for the fourth sister.
Just do it when you think of it, An Ruolan plans to go to the third lady to make it clear.
Just before she could pull out, Murong came over, beckoned her and whispered: "There's a noble person in the house, can you go and greet the eldest lady for you?" ”
"I'm going?" An Ruolan was surprised, since she is a nobleman, shouldn't she let an adult greet her, how can she be called a child?
Murong Shi saw her puzzlement, so she had to explain with a smile: "It's the county lord of Changping who came, she doesn't like to contact people, and the eldest mother is also thinking that the child can get close to her, so she came to find your help." ”
It's not that she is generous, and she provides a great opportunity for her niece, but the county lord of Changping is different from ordinary nobles, her sister Jin is already so old, and she has long passed the age of innocence, rather than wasting the opportunity in vain, it is better to let the younger girl try, the left and right are a family.
"Oh." An Ruolan shook her head, she had heard the name of the county lord of Changping, and it was said that she was an indifferent to fame and fortune, and a very withdrawn and stubborn person.
With a roll of her eyes, she said, "Can you let the fourth sister go?" ”
Hearing this, Murong Clan showed a puzzled look, and An Ruolan whispered to her what had just happened, and at the end, pouted: "How can you let those dogs look down on people." ”
Murong couldn't help but laugh, stroked her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Auntie understands what you mean, it's okay, Sister Ke'er is straightforward, and I think the county lord will like it." ”
When the matter was settled, Murong asked An Ruojin to send An Ruoke over.
"You want to entertain a lady, you have to remember that she doesn't like to be lively, and she doesn't want to contact others, so you just need to talk to her in the pavilion, and you don't have to do anything else." An Ruojin whispered, she also knew how difficult the county lord of Changping was to deal with.
An Ruoke nodded half-understandingly, wondering how she still likes to be alone.
An Ruojin sent people to the Qiushui Pavilion on the east side of the Hou Mansion, and left after saluting from afar, An Ruoke looked at the beautiful lady sitting by the railing of the pavilion, and was stunned and couldn't take her eyes back.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and An Ruoke is no exception.
Because the other party was a beautiful lady, she instantly became interested, ran over and saluted in a proper manner, and said, "Madame is well." ”
Then he stared at Shui Ling's dark eyes and stared at people.
The county lord of Changping was startled by the girl who suddenly appeared, and Hongyu next to him covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Where did you come from, you are so bold." ”
An Ruoke was shocked and rude, hurriedly withdrew her gaze, playfully stuck out her tongue, and grinned: "I'm An Ruoke, it's my grandmother who is celebrating today's birthday, and I'm here to entertain you." ”
"It turned out to be the lady of the house." Hongyufu bowed.
The county lord of Changping was very impressed by her naivety and straightforwardness, and asked with a smile, "Who asked you to come over?" ”
"It's my aunt." An Ruoke answered all questions, thought about it, and said, "Auntie said that you don't like crowded places, and asked me to come over to play with you." ”
These words caused the master and servant to laugh again, and An Ruoke accompanied him and smirked.
The county lord of Changping patted the position next to him and beckoned, "You come and sit." ”
"Oh." An Ruoke was not polite, walked to her and sat down, seeing this, Hongyu's eyes widened slightly, and then joy flashed in her eyes, and she quietly retreated.
is both reasonable and unexpected, the cold and indifferent county lord of Changping actually chatted with the lively and active An Ruoke.
An Ruoke has always been quick to speak, she couldn't hold back her words, and after chatting with the county lord of Changping for a few words, she couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you like to be lively, don't you want to talk to other people?" ”
The county lord of Changping was not annoyed by her words, and shook his head with a smile: "The world is exaggerated, there are too many vanity people, and most of what they say is to compare and show off, I don't like to hear it." ”
"The world?" An Ruoke blinked suspiciously, "Aren't you also from the world?" ”
These words made the county lord of Changping slightly stunned.
An Ruoke asked again: "You don't like to play with others, so do you have sisters who play well?" ”
The county lord of Changping was stunned again, and shook his head for a long time.
"Why not?!" An Ruoke was surprised, "I'm younger than you, and I have a lot of sisters who play well!" As she spoke, she pointed to her ears and proudly showed off: "Look, my earrings were given by my sister Lan, beautiful!" ”
The county lord of Changping looked at the lifelike butterfly earrings that seemed to be about to spread his wings and fly away, and asked in a low voice: "Do you like these things?" "There was a flicker in his eyes.
"I like it!" An Ruoke nodded without hesitation and chuckled: "My mother said that girls have to dress up beautifully before anyone will hurt." ”
"Yes." The county lord of Changping had a little disappointment in his eyes.
I thought he was a pure-hearted person, but I didn't want to be a person who loved Ronghua, and I liked to compete for favor at a young age.
The smile on his face was a little lighter, and the county lord of Changping took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and said, "This is given to you as a thank you gift for talking to me." ”
The probe looked at it, An Ruoke didn't answer, thinking that she was too little, the Changping County Lord's eyes were slightly cold, and he took off the white hosta on his head, "This will also be given to you." ”
An Ruoke still didn't answer, and said with a frown: "You are so strange, you are a guest, I should entertain you, you don't have to give me anything, my grandmother and mother know about it, I will be scolded." And I don't need your stuff either. She compared her wrist and said, "Your bracelet is too big for me to wear." ”
"......" The county lord of Changping was speechless for a while.
The atmosphere was a little silent, An Ruoke was a person who couldn't be idle, and after being quiet for a while, she felt uncomfortable, she twisted her body and spit out a sentence: "Your hair is scattered, I'll help you comb it." ”
After that, he took out the horn comb in his purse, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he took care of himself.
The county lord of Changping sat stunned, a little unable to react, and the gentle and careful movements on her head made her unable to open her mouth to stop it.
Except for her confidant Hongyu, she hasn't let anyone touch her for a long time.
"It's okay for me to comb my hair, my mother wants me to help her comb her hair when she is free." The hand was moving, An Ruoke's mouth was not idle, and asked, "Will the hand strength be heavy?" ”
"No, it won't." The county lord of Changping replied, his eyes a little moist.
When she was young, she also thought countless times that after she got married, that person would comb her hair and thrush until her hair turned white.
I just don't want to, after ten years, she once again experienced that kind of anticipation and joy.
The gentle movements on her head smoothed not only her messy hair, but also the long-hidden scars in her heart, as well as the sharper and sharper heart, the heart lake that had been silent for nearly ten years, rippled again.
Sitting quietly, the county lord of Changping has never been relaxed.
She remembered the laughter of her youth, her close sisters, and her loving parents and brothers, and she couldn't help but be immersed in the good memories of the past, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift farther and farther.
It wasn't until a crisp "okay" sounded that she came back to her senses.
Subconsciously stroked her sideburns, she was a little expectant.
"I'll show you." An Ruoke handed over a small bronze mirror, which reflected the woman's beautiful and graceful face, which looked younger and more vivid against the bright silk flowers.
The county lord of Changping was a little strange for a while, was she in the mirror? She couldn't believe it.
It's just that she changed her hair bun and put on silk flowers, and she became a different look, which was herself ten years ago, bright and vibrant.
Raise your hand and lightly touch the hibiscus silk flower on her head, "This is ......"
She remembered it as the flower on the child's head.
An Ruoke was a little reluctant and said, "This is also given to me by my sister Lan, but you look better when you wear it, so I'll give it to you." ”
"Thank you." The county lord of Changping thanked him movingly, smiled from the bottom of her heart, and she put away the bracelet and hairpin, feeling guilty for her temptation.
Fang Cai's unhappiness was swept away, and the county lord of Changping hugged An Ruoke affectionately, and the two talked and laughed, so happy.
Outside the pavilion, Hongyu looked at her own master with a smile on her face, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, how many years have passed, and the master is finally willing to open his heart and accept others.
It was really an eyes-opener, and Hongyu folded her hands and worshiped reverently in her heart.
Near noon, the first firecrackers rang out, and the ladies began to sit down.
An Ruolan looked behind the screen for a while, and when she saw An Ruoke pulling a young lady over, she breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that the lady was the county lord of Changping.
It seems that her idea is correct, no matter how cold and lonely she is, the lord of Changping is a human after all, and if he is a human being, he will be lonely, and often the more withdrawn a person, the more eager he is to be accompanied by someone in his heart. In the past, the county lord of Changping lived in a simple place, not because he hated contact with outsiders, on the contrary, because most of the outsiders approached her with a purpose, and it was because she didn't like to contact people, but An Ruoke was different, she was innocent and lively, and she had no scheming, such a person was the easiest to win the favor of the county lord of Changping.
For a woman who has lost her man, an innocent and lovely child is the best tonic.
The goal was achieved, and An Ruolan, who had settled down, retreated to her place and sat down, and after a while, An Ruoke came over and sat beside her.
"Sister Lan, I gave away the silk flower you gave me, you won't blame me, right?" As soon as he sat down, An Ruoke began to beg for mercy.
Listening to the uneasy tone, An Ruolan couldn't help but feel funny, her fourth sister was really too simple and direct, and she didn't know if she would be able to cope with the intrigues of others after she got married in the future.
However, in the future, there is the protection of the county lord of Changping, and he is not afraid to come.
Smiling, she said generously: "It doesn't matter, I still have one there, if you like it, I'll give it to you." ”
"Really?!" An Ruoke's eyes lit up, and she changed her depression and said happily: "Sister Lan, you are so good!" ”
An Ruolan raised her eyebrows proudly, and said in her heart, that is, if I am not good, how can I help you find such a big backer? You'll know how good I'm later! R1152
