The spring has passed, and the house is immersed in the double joy of Xiao Yin's examination Xie Yuan and Ran Qiubai's imminent return, and they have been full of smiling faces for many days.

After Ran Lin held a thank-you banquet for Liu Yufei, he proposed to the old lady the plan to marry Liu Rumei as his stepwife.

"Mother, you also know that Yu Feizhongju's identity is different, and I can't let Rumei live in the house with me without a name or a share, and it's not good to say it."

Ran Lin said tactfully, but his attitude was extremely resolute, he remembered what Rumei said in his ear last night, and he felt that he could count on Liu Yufei in the future, Qiu Bai was unbearable, Qiu Nian was not close to him, Xiao Yin could be considered to understand Yuan, in the end, he was a foreign surname, and he couldn't be single-minded.

"Besides, Yu Fei also has the blood of the Ran family in the end, isn't he closer to the Ran family than Xiao Yin? If there is a great creation in the future, can you still not think about your family? ”

The old lady could see Ran Lin's determination, and she was also a little moved by what he said.

Although she is very optimistic about Xiao Yin, in the end, the two sides are separated by blood, and people's hearts are changeable. Although she didn't like Liu Yufei, the old lady had to seriously consider Ran Lin's words.

"Your own business, decide for yourself. I only have one, the main house of the Ran family will always have only one concubine, Qiubai, even if Liu Yufei is out, he can't cross Qiubai. ”

The old lady finally made concessions for the sake of Liu Yufei's status.

"That's natural, if you are kind, you have already discussed with me, none of her children will be recorded in the family tree, Yu Fei will be an official in the future, and she will never compete with Qiubai for the family's property."

Ran Lin promised again and again that he would find someone to choose an auspicious day.

After Ran Lin left, the old lady looked at Ran Qiunian behind the screen with a look of guilt.

"Nian'er won't blame me, right? Liu Yufei is already a person who has stepped into officialdom with half a foot, and his future is unlimited, and I don't want to be too difficult for them in these things. ”

Ran Qiunian was just too lazy to see Ran Lin, so she hid behind, waiting for someone to leave and then continued to discuss Ran Qiubai's matter with her grandmother, who knew that she heard such a remark, and her face was a little unhappy.

But facing the old lady, Ran Qiunian still put away her frustration and shook her head to comfort:

"Grandmother, don't worry, Nian'er is not a child anymore, and she has been prepared for these things for a long time. Even if my grandmother rejected my father today, they would not give up. Didn't my grandmother refuse my father to take someone back to the house that day? ”

Ran Qiunian could see that Liu Rumei's family was ambitious, and it was not something that could be stopped by the old lady's refusal. It took so long for Liu Rumei to settle down, which was already an unexpected joy.

However: "Grandmother, don't listen to what my father said, the eldest brother is a very affectionate person, even if there is no Ran family bloodline?" I don't think that Liu Yufei seems to know gratitude, and I can't say who will be more reliable in the future! ”

Ran Qiunian was most dissatisfied with the fact that Ran Lin mentioned Xiao Yin's face as an outsider, she was afraid that the old lady would really believe Ran Lin's nonsense, and she would break away from Xiao Yin, so she hurriedly hugged her grandmother's arm and praised Xiao Yin.

"When it comes to next year's exam, the eldest brother will be admitted to the Jinshi, and Liu Yufei will be a small lifter, which will be nothing."

The old lady looked at Ran Qiunian with a smile, touched her hair, and eased her mood, but she didn't respond to what Ran Qiunian said. Let's take a look, whether it is Xiao Yin or Liu Yufei, whoever is good to Ran Qiu and can protect her is the good child she values.

Originally, Ran Qiunian thought that the news that Ran Lin was going to marry Liu Rumei as his stepwife was bad enough, who knows, with the reason that Liu Yufei was raised, even Liu Yunyao, who was sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside a few days ago, was picked up.

Liu Yunyao and Ran Qiubai's carriage and horse returned to Ran's house on the front and back, unlike the lively scene where Ran Qiubai was happily greeted back from the main gate, Liu Yunyao was quietly carried in by a small sedan chair from the corner gate, just like when she was hurriedly sent away that day.

Liu Yunyao has suffered a lot in the countryside Zhuangzi these days, although her face is still beautiful and beautiful, but she can hardly hide her haggardness.

She looked at her hands, which were a little rough from labor, and listened to the lively celebrations outside in their own courtyard with Liu Yufei.

"There will come a time when you and my brother and sister will no longer have to be looked down upon as we are today. What Ran Qiubai and Ran Qiunian have, sooner or later, will be ours. ”

Liu Yunyao listened to Liu Yufei's words slowly, and there was a bit of greed and yearning in her eyes, but she had learned to endure and hibernate, and she was better at forbearance than before she went to Zhuangzi.

Looking at Liu Yunyao, who is still beautiful on the outside but has been "reborn" on the inside, Liu Yufei has a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, and hopes that this time Liu Yunyao can be smarter, make good use of his advantages, and stop being provoked by the original form in a few words.

After dinner, Ran Qiunian went to talk to Xiao Yin as usual, but who knew that this time he saw an unexpected person in Xiao Yin's study.

"Brother Qiubai, why are you here?"

Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, she thought that it was getting late today, so she wouldn't bother Ran Qiubai, who had just returned home, and would go to reminisce tomorrow, but she didn't know that Ran Qiubai didn't have a good rest after returning home, so she actually ran to find Xiao Yin as soon as possible.

"Xiao Yin and I wore a pair of pants to play until we were big, so it's not strange to come to him to catch up. It's you, this girl, haven't you been at odds with Xiao Yin since you were a child, I haven't been back for a long time, and you girl has been reborn, I heard that even the homework has been picked up. ”

Before, when the banquet was far away, there were old ladies and Ran Lin present, Ran Qiubai didn't have a chance to talk to Ran Qiunian more, but when he saw it now, he immediately looked at Ran Qiunian in amazement and poured out the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Qiubai is talking nonsense, the eldest brother loves to be clean, so he won't wear a pair of pants with people."

Ran Qiunian subconsciously exchanged a few words with Ran Qiubai, and between the back and forth, the faint alienation brought by time was dispersed, and then his expression became in a trance.

She looked at Ran Qiubai, whose face in front of her was still a little juvenile, but what came to her mind was the last time she saw her in prison in her previous life, and Ran Qiubai's face was desperate to die.

"I'm not making an analogy, I just thought you were a lot sensible, and the two sentences were revealed, and you are still so sharp-tongued."

Ran Qiubai didn't notice Ran Qiunian's distraction, pinched Ran Qiunian's cheek and laughed.

Ran Qiunian came back to her senses, opened Ran Qiubai's hand that was making a mistake on her face, made a grimace at Ran Qiubai, and slipped behind Xiao Yin behind the desk.

"Why didn't I know that the relationship between the eldest brother and Brother Qiubai was so good, eldest brother, is what Brother Qiubai said true?"

Ran Qiunian looked suspicious.

"Fake."

Xiao Yin's eyes were fixed on the book in his hand, turned a page, and made a faint sound.

"Okay, you Xiao Yin, I haven't been back for a few months, and you forgot about my brother, who is the person who copied my homework for me when I was a child? Who is the one who has been my martial arts companion for many years and killed all sides in the martial arts arena? ”

Ran Qiubai was furious when he heard this, and grabbed Xiao Yin's neck, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't see anything at all.

Xiao Yin avoided Ran Qiubai's hand, put down the book in his hand, and then slowly said the second half of the sentence.

"Didn't wear the same pair of pants."

Ran Qiubai gave up, sat down on the chair that Xiao Yin let go, took out a box from his arms, and threw it into Xiao Yin's hands.

"That's pretty much it, what you asked me to bring you."

Xiao Yin caught it, didn't look at it, and directly took it into his arms.

Ran Qiunian watched the familiar conversation and interaction between the two people, and finally realized that Xiao Yin and Ran Qiubai had really been friends for many years, which she was indeed a little surprised.

"You girl was a little bully when she was a child, and I don't know why, she wants to make trouble when she sees me and Xiao Yin playing together. Now that I have changed my temper, I look closer to Xiao Yin than me. ”

Ran Qiubai looked at the surprise and curiosity in Ran Qiunian's eyes and his unconscious dependence on Xiao Yin, and said a few words with some taste.

Ran Qiunian's face turned red, remembering the teasing of Xiao Yin when he was a child, he suddenly felt weak, and looked at Xiao Yin's face again and again, and found that Xiao Yin was not angry, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm not, didn't I understand when I was a child, brother, don't mention the past, Nian'er is different now, and she treats the two brothers equally."

Ran Qiunian coughed lightly, and seeing that Xiao Yin and Ran Qiubai seemed to have a lot to say, she didn't bother anymore, said hello, and slipped out.

It wasn't until he ran back to his house that Ran Qiunian calmed down, propped his cheeks, and slowly digested the friendship between Xiao Yin and Ran Qiubai.

"No wonder the eldest brother took such good care of me in my last life, intentionally or unintentionally, it turned out to be because of Brother Qiubai."

Ran Qiunian thought that she had found a reason, so that the questions that had puzzled her in her previous life were answered.

Speaking of which, in the last life, when Brother Qiubai was imprisoned and beheaded, the eldest brother had been leading the battle at the border, and the whip was beyond his reach. If the eldest brother hadn't been far away at that time, maybe Brother Qiubai's death would have taken a turn for the better.

Ran Qiunian could only sigh at this time.

"What are you talking about, Miss?"

Qingxi heard the movement, pushed the door in and came in to clean up the bed for Ran Qiunian, and heard people standing by the window covering their faces and not knowing what they were muttering.

"Nothing." Ran Qiunian put down his hand, smiled a little embarrassedly, and suddenly remembered, "Then Qi Ruoyun is going to return to Beijing in the next two days?" ”

This may be called a good thing in pairs, Ran Qiu thought inexplicably, Brother Qiubai is back, and the annoying Qi Ruoyun is finally leaving.

Qingxi couldn't help but smile and glanced at Ran Qiunian, who was in a good mood.

After such a long time, the little grandfather looked very fond of his own young lady, and from time to time he asked someone to come over to send some novel gadgets to please her young lady.

It's a pity that their young lady doesn't open up, and the little grandfather is afraid that he will be disappointed.

"Yes, tomorrow the old lady will hold a banquet to see her off, I heard that this time more than the three rooms will come, and the little grandfather also asked Liu Yufei's family to come over with him."

This little grandfather is too enthusiastic and does bad things with good intentions, her young lady hates Liu Yufei's family so much, and invites people to come together, no wonder her own young lady doesn't like that little grandfather.

Qingxi shook his head, and he didn't have a good impression of Qi Ruoyun, who Ran Qiunian liked.

"If it weren't for Brother Qiubai's going to the banquet, I wouldn't want to go."

Ran Qiunian lay down on the couch laid out by Qingxi, his face full of gloom.
