"Nian'er got a first-class test in the girls' school today, and was praised by Mama Jin. Nian'er can still excel, and the eldest brother will definitely be able to take the first place in the spring test. ”

Ran Qiu thought about what Xiao Yin wrote just now, although she couldn't see whether it was good or bad, she instinctively felt that what her eldest brother wrote must be good.

"It's easier than you say. can only do one's best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Xiao Yin was entangled by Ran Qiunian and had no choice but to give her an ambiguous reply, and Ran Qiunian was satisfied.

"By the way, in a few days, someone from Beijing will come to investigate the case of the Lingnan Iron Mine, and I heard that it is the little grandfather who has the old Qi State Mansion with the old lady, and he should come to visit the mansion at that time, you have to be careful not to expose the rumors and stir into this troubled water."

Xiao Yin was worried that Ran Qiunian would impulsively get involved and reveal his knowledge of the Lingnan copper and iron mine case, so he took the first step to mention Ran Qiunian a few words.

Ran Qiunian couldn't listen to what Xiao Yin said, from the time she heard the four words of the Duke of Qi Guofu, her mind buzzed, she didn't expect that this time, in addition to the meeting with Xiugu, even the meeting with Qi Ruoyun was advanced by several years.

"Nian'er? What's wrong? ”

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, he couldn't wait for Ran Qiunian's response, so he looked at her a few times strangely, and found that Ran Qiunian's face was very wrong, as if it had become like this after he finished saying that.

Xiao Yin carefully recalled what he said, there didn't seem to be anything special, why did Ran Qiunian behave so strangely?

Ran Qiunian was pulled back to her senses by Xiao Yin's voice, looking at the face of the person in front of her, and the uneasiness that surged up in her heart for a moment gradually faded.

Yes, it's different, this time she won't marry Qi Ruoyun again, she won't step into the Qi Mansion for half a step, everything will be different, she still has her grandmother, and her big brother.

"Big brother, it's nothing, I just think that Qi Guogong is such a big official, and the little grandfather must be a difficult person to get along with, Nian'er is afraid that when the time comes, he can't help that person's bad temper and offend others."

"Are you still afraid of offending people with this temper?" Xiao Yin smiled a little, "Don't think too much, I will protect you after all." ”

Xiao Yin was keenly aware of the uneasiness in Ran Qiunian's heart, and did not believe the nonsense explanation in her mouth, but he did not find fault with Ran Qiunian's lies, and raised his hand to touch Ran Qiunian's head.

This is the first time Xiao Yin has made a clear promise to Ran Qiunian, and Ran Qiunian was stunned.

Since she was reborn, the uneasiness in her heart has been like an appendage, no matter how optimistic and troublesome she is on the surface, in fact, she is always uneasy.

And what she did to please Xiao Yin in order was to seek refuge, and now that she had obtained such a promise as she wished, Ran Qiunian was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Big brother," Ran Qiu's words suddenly turned a little pale, she pursed her lips, looked at Xiao Yin's gaze on herself, thinking about the heavy protection, and couldn't help hugging Xiao Yin's arm, "Then Nian'er thanked the big brother first." ”

Ran Qiunian tried her best to make her voice sound brisk, and lowered her eyes slightly, so that Xiao Yin would not notice the redness in her eyes.

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Xiao Yin looked at the back of Ran Qiunian leaving, thinking that she was obviously not in the right mood when she mentioned the little grandfather in the Guogong Mansion, and she didn't know why she was a little concerned.

He is not a man who makes promises easily, because once he says it, he will do what he says, and when he said it just now, although with some unknown impulse, he did not regret it.

In the future, no matter what his circumstances are, he will fulfill his promise today and try his best to protect Ran Qiu's thoughts.

Ran Qiunian was a little tossing and turning, thinking about Xiao Yin's promise, she was happy for a while and entangled for a while, even the bad news that Qi Ruoyun was about to arrive in Fairview City was not so pressed in her heart, and she tossed for most of the night before she fell asleep in a daze.

She seemed to have had a good dream, and when Ran Qiunian was woken up by Qingxi the next day, although she didn't remember what she dreamed of, the smile on her face never faded.

Qingxi was so surprised that she was extremely strange: "Miss, you dreamed of something good, and you smiled so happily." ”

"It's nothing, I don't have to go to girls' school today, am I happy?"

Ran Qiunian coughed lightly, got up to wash and change clothes.

Although Ran Qiunian knew that Qi Ruoyun would have to arrive in Splendid City sooner or later, and meeting him was unavoidable, she didn't expect to come back so quickly on this day.

She had only enjoyed a few days of leisure, without Ran Susu buzzing in her ears, and her relationship with Xiao Yin became more and more harmonious, but the next day she saw that the house began to be repaired and taken care of.

"It's strange, why did you suddenly make such a big move when this is not a festival?"

Ran Qiunian looked at a group of housekeepers who were pruning the garden, and on the other side was a column of maids holding bottles and cans in their hands to send somewhere, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but say strangely to Qingxi.

"Did you forget, Miss? Tomorrow, the little grandfather of the Qi State Mansion will come to our house, and the old man ordered everyone to prepare to welcome the little grandfather early in the morning, and the old lady did not say no. I started cleaning up a few days ago, but the young lady didn't pay attention. ”

Qi Ruoyun is coming tomorrow?

Ran Qiunian couldn't help frowning, after several days of calming down, she no longer felt strange at mentioning this person's name, but it didn't mean that she was happy to see this person.

"It's really a big shelf, as soon as he comes, the whole Ran Mansion will sweep the couch to greet him."

Ran Qiunian complained dissatisfiedly, and Qingxi hurriedly reminded Ran Qiunian in a whisper: "Miss, that's the little grandfather of the Qi State Mansion, the emperor's relatives, don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"Got it, got it, you're cowardly."

Ran Qiunian flicked Qingxi's forehead, and returned to the courtyard in a not very good mood.

Not only Qi Ruoyun will come tomorrow, but the Sanfang family will also come, and Ran Susu, who has not seen her for a few days, will naturally be present, it is really a bad thing, Ran Qiunian didn't expect that tomorrow's banquet would have a headache.

Although Ran Qiunian didn't want tomorrow to come, this day still came as promised. On this day, the old lady deliberately stopped the women's school for a day, Ran Qiunian and the third-room sisters didn't have to go to the girls' school, but Ran Qiunian would rather sit in the girls' school for a day.

"Miss, let's go, if we don't go over, we'll have a banquet."

Qingxi saw that Ran Qiunian had been grinding for a long time, and he was still reluctant to get up, so he was about to lose his hair in worry, and at this time, Xiao Yin came over.

"Nian'er hasn't cleaned up yet?"

Xiao Yin asked outside, Ran Qiunian heard the voice and immediately stood up from the dresser, brought the hair ornament that had been selected for almost half an hour to his head, stepped out of the room briskly, and saw Xiao Yin, who was also dressed in formal clothes and had a cold complexion.

"Big brother, are you here to ask Nian'er to come over? Nian'er has already packed up, let's go. ”

Qingxi looked at Ran Qiunian, who was reluctant to get up no matter how much he urged, and was called out by Xiao Yin with a word, and immediately threw himself to the ground for Xiao Yin's admiration.

Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian's sly smile, a little helpless, turned around and walked towards the banquet hall with people.

With Xiao Yin by her side, Ran Qiunian felt a lot more relieved, and her steps were much lighter. After a while, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall, the third room, except for the old lady, Ran Lin and the main owner Qi Ruoyun, the rest of the people who should have arrived had already arrived.

I didn't see the mother and son of the Liu family on the table, I have to say that it was good news that made Ran Qiunian a little comforted.

It seems that Ran Lin is not so confused, but he didn't know that Ran Lin really planned to let Liu Rumei and Liu Yufei come with him, but he was held down by the old lady.

Ran Susu was still a little angry with Ran Qiunian, but in the past few days, she had been beaten hard at home, and she didn't dare to mess around on such a big occasion, so she could only stare at Ran Qiunian, and An An sat in her place and didn't dare to make a mistake.

Ran Qiunian didn't even give Ran Susu a corner of her eye, she and Xiao Yin's seats were not in the same place, so the two separated after entering the banquet hall.

She made up her mind that she would not be at the banquet today, eat more and talk less, lest she look at Qi Ruoyun's face, and she couldn't help but say something rebellious.

Thinking like this, the old lady and Ran Lin took Qi Ruoyun into the banquet hall, and everyone got up to greet each other, giving Qi Ruoyun enough face. But Qi Ruoyun has put on a very modest posture and has always regarded himself as a junior.

It's really pretendious.

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but curse in her heart, and after everyone saw the salute one by one, Ran Qiunian sat back in her position, only focusing on the things on her short table, trying to minimize her sense of existence.

"Nian'er, do you remember your brother Qi? When I was very young, you saw it in the General's Mansion in Shangjing. ”

The old lady didn't know Qi Ruoyun's true face, so she naturally had a good impression of this talented and humble son of the old man, and seeing that Ran Qiunian was a little absent-minded, she shouted out happily.

In fact, the old lady still has a little selfishness, Qi Ruoyun's family background, character and talent are nothing to say, and in two years, Ran Qiunian will start to look at others.

The old lady thought that when the two of them were young, she and the old lady of the Qi State Mansion had jokingly said that they wanted to marry the two families, and now although the old lady is gone, but after seeing Qi Ruoyun, the old lady couldn't help but think about it again.

Ran Qiunian didn't notice the old lady's thoughts, and when she saw that she was named, she couldn't pretend not to hear it anymore, so she thought about it seriously, and replied with a somewhat distressed smile.

"Grandmother said that it was all wrong, but Nian'er didn't remember it at all."

Qi Ruoyun looked at Ran Qiunian, who was delicate and bright, although she was still a little young, she would definitely be a rare beauty after opening it in two years, and she also had some good feelings in her heart.

"I still have some impressions, at that time, Nian'er's sister was still young, and her walking was still a little unsteady, but she liked to follow me and let me play with her the most, but I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye."

Everyone could see that Qi Ruoyun's attitude towards Ran Qiunian was very close, but Ran Qiunian only felt coy and didn't appreciate it, just smiled and didn't reply.

Ran Susu saw that Qi Ruoyun's attention had been on Ran Qiunian's body since he entered the table, and the heartbeat that Qi Ruoyun had originally felt at first sight had all turned into a strong hatred for Ran Qiunian.

Again, everyone likes Ran Qiunian, all the benefits are hers, why does Ran Qiunian have it?

Ran Susu looked down at the table, and the nails hidden under her sleeves almost broke her palms.

Ran Yinyin and Ran Susu thought a little coincided, she sat in the banquet, looking at the incomparably beautiful Ran Qiunian, and couldn't help but think that Liu Yufei, who couldn't even come to the banquet at this time, was Ran Lin's child, but the treatment was very different.

The sisters had their own thoughts, but they all held a grudge against Ran Qiunian.
