Chapter 122: Silver Tower
Meng's "illness" dragged on for another half a month before he was completely cured.
And in the past half a month, An Ruolan will go to her on time every day to "serve the sick".
said that he was a servant, but in fact he was going to copy books, and I don't know who came up with the bad idea, Meng insisted that An Ruolan copied a large stack of poems and songs, and said that it was to improve her talent and knowledge, and An Ruolan could only sneer in her heart.
Fortunately, there are not too many daily "homework", and with An Ruolan's current adult core, it is not difficult to complete.
Although the process was a little painful, it was finally overcome, and after a long shelving, the plan to go out of the mansion to choose gifts for the sisters was finally put on the agenda, but when An Ruolan went to ask Meng for permission to leave the mansion, he hit a wall again.
Meng Shi rejected her request in one bite, on the grounds that she was too young.
An Ruolan felt funny, she was young, could it be that An Ruoxian was older than her?
sneered in her heart, An Ruolan pretended to be dissatisfied and retorted: "When Sister Xian was about to leave the house, why didn't my mother say that she was young? Mother, you are eccentric! ”
The sour tone directly made Meng Shi think that she was losing her temper and eating the taste.
The recognition of eating taste made Meng Shi very happy, she softened her expression, and said seriously: "Xian'er is a concubine, if her mother restricts her too much, it is difficult to guarantee that outsiders will not say that her mother is harsh on her, but you, you are the concubine of the fifth room, and going out in the future represents the face of the fifth room, and your mother will naturally be stricter with your care." ”
"Mother knows that you have some misunderstanding of your mother, and mother does not expect you to understand your mother's intentions now, you just need to know that you are a child born by your mother with your life, and no one can compare with it. Gu Youyun: 'Parents are children, then they have far-reaching plans for them', the usual pampering is not love, it is dangerous. ”
Meng Shi was still babbling and explaining, but An Ruolan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It's obviously a soft tone that is no different from the past, why does it have an earth-shattering illusion in your ears?
Is this really what her mother said?!
Even when she heard it with her own ears, she couldn't believe it.
If it weren't for the lessons of her previous life, she would almost think that her mother's kindness to An Ruoxian was just a show, in order to kill An Ruoxian in the future.
I don't know if my mother knows the meaning behind these words.
Rolling her eyes, she interrupted Meng's talking, and suddenly smiled with a smile: "Mother, my daughter understands your good intentions, you can rest assured, my daughter will not eat it again in the future." ”
No matter who taught her mother to say this, she didn't want to hear it, right and wrong were black and white, she was like a mirror in her heart, and now she should quickly persuade her mother to let her out of the house.
Seeing that she was humbly taught, Meng Shi felt more and more comfortable, and said with relief: "It's good that you understand." But I was secretly happy in my heart, what Mama Li said was right, Lan'er really ate this set, and I thought that Lan'er would be obedient to herself again in the future!
But it turned out that Meng's words were taught by Mama Li.
After learning that An Ruolan's private house in the future would be handed over to the old lady for safekeeping, in order to help the Meng family once again trap An Ruolan's heart and regain the right to manage her daughter's private house, Mama Li came up with such an idea two days ago.
To say that Mama Li also has some tricks, it's a pity that An Ruolan today is no longer An Ruolan before she threw herself into the lake, and she is not as easy to deceive as she thought.
The trick of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, An Ruolan disdained to use it in his previous life, but he used it very smoothly in this life.
Seeing that Meng's expression was cloudy and clear, she immediately seized the opportunity and said pitifully again: "Mother, if your daughter wants to leave the house, you can agree." ”
Hearing this, Meng Shi, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously frowned, and asked unhappily: "Didn't you say it all, why do you still want to leave the house?" ”
With her eyes rolling, An Ruolan showed a flattering smile, and pretended to be innocent: "Don't hide it from my mother, in fact, my daughter wants to go out of the house to pick a birthday gift for her grandmother, and in a few days, it will be her grandmother's birthday, doesn't my mother remember?" ”
Birthday?
Meng Shi chuckled in his heart, and then remembered that the fifteenth day of the next month was the old lady's birthday.
She secretly regretted that she had neglected such an important matter during this time when she only cared about her daughter.
Seeing that there are less than 20 days left to go until the old lady's birthday, she is not prepared at all, how can this be good?!
Although she was anxious, she didn't want to admit her negligence, she coughed, and Meng Shi pretended to be calm and said: "Naturally, I remember that my mother has already thought about what kind of gift I want to give to your grandmother." ”
"Really? Mother is amazing! An Ruolan ignored her wandering gaze and pretended to be surprised and praised.
Meng Shi was weak and panicked in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to stop her anymore, so he said absent-mindedly: "Since it's to prepare a congratulatory gift for your grandmother, your mother won't stop you, you go and go back quickly." ”
It's done! An Ruolan was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, thank you mother!" ”
was afraid that it would be too late, and she regretted it.
I thought that this would be the end of the matter, but I didn't want Meng Shi to tell again: "I heard that you are going to give gifts to the sisters in the house?" Since you want to send it, you can't favor one over the other, and you can't forget Xian'er's share. ”
To play favorites? Hearing this, An Ruolan laughed again in her heart, she had already given An Ruoxian several high-grade pearl flowers before, if she gave her another gift, it would be called real favoritism.
She really wanted to ask: Mother, do you remember what you said earlier?
Obviously, the mother did not know the meaning of those words.
However, she knows very well that if she doesn't agree to her mother's request now, I'm afraid that the matter of leaving the house will be delayed again, but it will cost a few taels of silver, and she can afford it, so she will be considered to be ruined and eliminated, I believe that Sister Jin and they can understand her "favoritism".
Thinking like this, An Ruolan had no choice but to respond obediently: "My daughter remembers." ”
"Hmm." Meng nodded with satisfaction, and then Xia He took the pair of cards out of the house.
Meng was worried about the old lady's birthday, and she couldn't bear to talk nonsense with An Ruolan anymore, and after handing over the pair of cards, she issued an eviction order, and An Ruolan didn't want to stay longer, so she pushed the boat down the river and left.
After An Ruolan left, Meng immediately asked Xia He to call Mama Li.
There is no way, in the past, the old lady's birthday, Mama Li was choosing a gift for her, and now the situation is urgent, except for Mama Li, she can't find a second person to rely on, yes, no matter how disgusted Mama Li's ugly old face is, she has to endure it.
Meng and Mama Li secretly discussed and did not mention it.
An Ruolan got the right cards, and immediately went to find An Ruojin, she didn't plan to go out alone.
An Ruojin has been bored in the house for more than half a month, and she has long wanted to go out and walk around, and as soon as An Ruolan came to invite her, she agreed. The two sisters went together to ask the Murong clan for permission, and then went out happily.
Just after the Spring Festival, the houses on both sides of the street are still full of New Year's festivities, only to see people coming and going on the street, busy with traffic, really lively.
The carriage was driving on the bustling street, An Ruolan looked out of the window, listening to the loud shouting and selling sound of the race, and smelling the aroma of snacks, she smiled and squinted.
"Okay, don't look at it, what does it look like to lie on the window." An Ruojin smiled and pulled her back to sit down, and straightened her shrunken clothes for her.
After the New Year, An Ruojin became more and more dignified, and her actions became more and more stable and atmospheric, and the style of a famous family was fully revealed.
An Ruolan smiled and fell on top of her, and said flatteringly: "Sister Jin, after shopping around the silver building in a while, let's go eat snacks, I smell a lot of fragrant." ”
An Ruojin glanced at her and said, "It's best to be hungry for you." He persuaded again: "Forget it today, there are too many people, if you are really greedy, let's go to Taibai Mansion and let the people below buy it for you." ”
"Forget it then." An Ruolan sighed, she just wanted to experience the excitement, but she didn't really crave the taste.
An Ruojin stroked the top of her head, but she didn't let go.
The oil wall car that the two of them rode in was light and small, and soon arrived at the gold and silver building.
The gold and silver building is the largest silver building in the east of the city, and the jewelry produced here is very chic, and it is also quite prestigious in Shengjing, so the price is naturally not low.
After getting out of the carriage, the guy from the silver building took a look at the clothes of the two of them, and led them directly to the private room upstairs of the shop.
There are many rules for the rich and noble, and they must be carefully selected, but they are also impatient to be disturbed by others, so the general silver building will specially prepare private rooms to entertain the ladies and wives of the noble families.
The man was just a guide, and when he entered the private room, he was naturally entertained by a woman who was in charge of introducing jewelry.
The two of An Ruolan were greeted by a middle-aged woman with a round figure and a kind face, about thirty years old, with a fair complexion, and a kind and pleasant smile, which was very relaxing.
invited the two to sit down at the mahogany table in the private room, and the woman poured tea while saying with a smile: "The slave family's surname is Wan, and the third in the family, and the two young ladies call the slave family Wan Sanniang." ”
After pouring the tea, Wan Sanniang didn't sit down, just stood aside, very respectful and polite.
An Ruolan had a good impression of this chubby woman, so she smiled and said, "Sanniang, sit down, we have to pick out some jewelry, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand in the back." He chuckled.
An Ruojin also smiled: "Yes, I still have to bother Sanniang to introduce some delicate and beautiful jewelry." ”
Wan Sanniang was no longer polite and sat sideways.
"I don't know what jewelry the two young ladies want to choose, do you wear it for yourself or give it away?" Wan Sanniang asked with a smile, this was asked to An Ruojin.
It's no wonder that Wan Sanniang is like this, An Ruolan is only seven or eight years old, she really doesn't look like a guest who came to buy jewelry, but like she is strolling around with her sister, An Ruojin looks like she, twelve or thirteen years old, it is the age of love, and she also has a private room at hand.
Hearing this, An Ruojin covered her lips and smiled, and said, "Sanniang, it's my sister who wants to buy jewelry!" ”
Wan Sanniang was stunned, but she was not flustered, she only stroked her palms and smiled: "It turned out that the little lady wanted to buy jewelry, but the slave family had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai!" ”
The straightforward and undisguised reaction made An Ruolan's goodwill rise a lot. R1152
