Chapter 32: Tulip Buds

After the old lady heard about this incident, she disgusted Ran Susu to the extreme, and ordered the third room to clean it up by herself, so she closed the door of the house out of sight and out of mind, and no longer asked about how the third room family jumped.

Ran Yinyin was almost angry with Ran Susu, a fool who had more than enough success and more than failure, but the matter had come to this, in order not to be affected by Ran Susu's reputation, she could only discuss with her mother to quickly marry Ran Susu to that Wang Mazi, and hastily sent it to the countryside Zhuangzi, just as there was no such person in the third room of the Ran family.

"Yin Yin, Su Su is useless, the only one my mother can count on is you, you have to fight. For you, my mother has always been at ease. ”

The eldest lady of the third room patted her daughter's hand and sighed, a little pity: "If it weren't for the fact that Su Su happened, my mother would have wanted to help you fight for the marriage with the little grandfather." It's a pity, don't think about it now, it's cheap. You can rest assured, my mother will choose the right high door for you again, and she will not be wronged by my daughter's appearance and talent. ”

Ran Yinyin's face was calm, and her drooping eyes were obscure, but she was silent. The mother and daughter never mentioned Ran Susu, who had been sent to the countryside overnight.

As soon as this matter was troubled, the relationship between the Ran Mansion and the Feng Mansion was also a little weak, and the old lady simply stopped the women's school in the mansion, for fear that this kind of thing would happen again.

The suspension of the girls' school is no loss for Ran Qiunian, Mama Jin lives in Ran's Mansion anyway, talking to her grandmother every day, planting flowers, she can see it at any time.

For those young ladies who came to the name of Mama Jin, there was a big loss.

But no one can resist the old lady, after all, the person was invited by the old lady, and the women's school was also run by the Ran family, so she could only scold the culprit of this matter, Ran Susu, in her heart.

Ran Qiunian learns skills from Xiu Gu every day, and she makes rapid progress. When I have nothing to do, I go to Xiao Yin's courtyard to stay for a while, accompany Xiao Yin to recite books, and watch him practice strategy with his ink.

Spring is also in such a day, slowly coming to the eye.

Ran Qiunian has rarely bothered Xiao Yin in the past few days, for fear that he will affect Xiao Yin's performance, and he looks even more nervous than Xiao Yin.

Even Qingxi couldn't help but joke with Ran Qiu: "I don't know, I thought it was Miss, you were going to go to the imperial examination." ”

Ran Qiunian glanced at Qingxi angrily: "Young poor mouth, it's getting hotter and hotter recently, I'm afraid that my eldest brother will be tired when he is studying books, so I'll prepare a lotus seed chicken for my eldest brother today." It just so happened that there were a lot of lotus seeds in the lotus pond in Fuli, and they were fresh. ”

After that, he got up and went to the east kitchen, and recently learned a few skills from Xiu Gu to make medicinal food, Ran Qiunian felt that it was the most suitable to use at this time, so he personally added dishes to Xiao Yin every day, sometimes a cup of soup, sometimes a plate of pastries.

Qingxi was accustomed to following Ran Qiunian to the east kitchen and went to the small stove room that Ran Qiunian had set up alone.

The old lady also knew about Ran Qiunian washing her hands and making soup, and she was quite a bit of a taste, so she let Ran Qiunian have a good meal, and then acquiesced to her behavior of going to the east kitchen every day to add vegetables to Xiao Yin, and also set up this stove room for Ran Qiunian alone.

Let the cook clean up the stove first, light the fire, and deal with all the ingredients, Ran Qiunian personally operated, and according to the dosage on the recipe, he made the lotus seed chicken for Xiao Yin.

Taking advantage of the fact that the lotus seeds were steaming on the stove, Ran Qiunian heard a few chefs talking in a whisper outside, and couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

"Spring is coming, Miss is really interested in the eldest young master, and she makes food and sends it over every day." The cooks thought that Ran Qiunian couldn't hear the outside sound in the stove room, so they couldn't help but chat while cooking.

"But no, I heard that the young master Liu over there is also going to participate in this imperial examination, and the outer room that the master brought back is also urging people to come over every day to make something to make up for his body and send it over."

"That's a far cry. I don't know which of the two young masters will win this time. ”

Ran Qiunian listened thoughtfully to the sound outside, raised her hand to stop Qingxi from wanting to go out to drink to stop their movements, walked to the already steamed lotus seeds, and continued to cook in an orderly manner.

"Miss, they dare to talk about you and the eldest young master, it's really bold."

Qingxi saw that those cooks actually compared Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin with Liu Rumei and mother and son, and immediately became a little angry, and couldn't help but whisper to Ran Qiunian.

"I almost forgot about Liu Yufei."

Ran Qiunian said disapprovingly, not angry at the gossip of those cooks, and thoughtfully finished the last process in his hand, and asked Qingxi to put the finished lotus seed chicken into a food box and send it to Xiao Yin's yard with the rest of the lunch.

Walking on the way back to his yard, Ran Qiunian was also thinking about Liu Yufei in her heart. She remembered that Liu Yufei was also lifted in her previous life, and with this, Liu Rumei and Liu Yunyao were showing off their might in the mansion for a while.

Although Xiao Yin won the champion, under Liu Rumei's design, he completely broke away from the Ran family and moved out of the Ran family directly. In this way, Liu Yufei is the only one in the Ran family who has a meritorious reputation, and even the status of their family in the mansion has risen.

Ran Qiunian pinched her palm and made a decision, this time she wanted to nip all potential threats in the bud, and simply let Liu Yufei miss this imperial examination.

"Sister Nian'er, I happened to send someone to send this to you, but I didn't expect to see you here, so I happened to give it to you personally."

Qi Ruoyun's voice came, Ran Qiunian paused, and secretly said that he was unlucky, how could he meet Qi Ruoyun here.

"Little grandpa is so coincidental, why didn't he go out to do errands today?"

Ran Qiunian greeted Qi Ruoyun with a polite salute, and he looked indifferent, which made Qi Ruoyun a little helpless.

"When I was a child, you always followed me and called me Brother Qi, my grandmother and the old lady are old friends, you and I don't have to be so restrained."

Qi Ruoyun originally thought that Ran Qiunian was so alienated from him because he was shy and wanted to indulge, but after these days, he also found that he was wrong, and Ran Qiunian really had no intention of being at all towards him.

This made Qi Ruoyun, who had always been invincible in this regard, feel a little fresh, and coupled with the original careful thinking in his heart, he became more and more interested in Ran Qiunian.

"When I was a child, I was not sensible, and I didn't know the difference between respect and inferiority, so don't be embarrassed by the little grandfather."

Ran Qiunian smiled a little wryly.

She had tried her best not to provoke Qi Ruoyun, but she found that she had been chasing hard in her previous life to finally get a little attention from Qi Ruoyun, this time she did nothing, and even took the initiative to avoid it like a snake and scorpion, but let Qi Ruoyun be very attentive to herself in turn.

Ran Qiu Nian didn't understand why, but she was very tired of Qi Ruoyun's repeated temptations, but because she was now powerless, she couldn't turn her face with the Qi State Mansion, so she could only suppress her temper and be perfunctory.

It's like Qi Ruoyun who was hindered by his upbringing and perfunctory pestering Ran Susu that day. It's a pity that Qi Ruoyun couldn't see the similarities between the two.

"That's it, forget it, Sister Nian'er take this. I heard that you have been interested in these strange flowers and plants recently, so I asked someone to pay attention to it, what is not worth it is to be fresh, Sister Nian'er should not shirk it anymore. ”

Ran Qiunian was pointed out by Qi Ruoyun and was about to blurt out the refusal, and was suddenly a little speechless, looking at the palm-sized brocade box sent by Qi Ruoyun with a smile, he hesitated and took it.

"Then Nian'er thanked the little grandfather. Nian'er has to go back to practice female redness, and she can't stay for a long time, so the little grandfather please take care of herself. ”

Ran Qiunian took the box in the little grandfather's hand, thanked him in a proper manner, and turned to leave.

After Ran Qiunian left, the entourage beside him couldn't help but look at the little grandfather's smiling expression:

"Little grandpa, you don't really think about Miss Ran, do you? Your princess candidate, but if you want your lady to look at it, choose the right lady. Old Madam Ran looked at it, and it didn't look like she would let Miss Ran be a concubine. ”

"I have my own plans."

The little grandfather retracted his gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and he took the person back to the courtyard where he stayed, and was noncommittal to Gray Bamboo's words.

Ran Qiunian took the box back to the house and threw the brocade box aside.

"Take this thing away, throw it into the storeroom and eat the ashes, and don't let me see it again."

"Miss, what is this? It's quite delicate to look at. ”

Qingxi picked up the brocade box that Ran Qiunian threw aside, and looked at the beautiful lines on the box with some pity.

Ran Qiunian was asked by Qingxi and also reacted. If he ran into Qi Ruoyun again next time, he asked him, and he couldn't tell what was in the box, wouldn't it be to show the stuffing, so he patiently opened the box and took a look.

"Ah, there's a lump of grass in there."

Qingxi looked a little surprised, the box was not a rare treasure, but covered with some moist soil, and a small tuft of green grass was planted on it.

"I didn't expect that what was in the box was a tulip bud, which is really rare." Ran Qiunian raised her eyebrows, she knew more than Qingxi, she recognized it at a glance, and it was rare to have some interest.

There are few tulips in this dynasty, this thing is expensive and difficult to raise, and only the rich and noble people can serve this small thing, but it is also priceless.

Even she had only seen it from the atlas given by Aunt Xiu, and I am afraid that only the Feng family caravan, who specializes in the trading of exotic flowers and plants, could find such a good thing in the entire Splendid City.

But after thinking about it, Qi Ruoyun and the young master of the Feng family seem to have a good personal relationship, so it is not surprising that Qi Ruoyun can get this flower bud.

"Miss, what are tulip buds? Do you still have to throw this box into the storeroom? ”

Qingxi looked at the grass in the box with some curiosity, could it be that this thing is more valuable than the brocade box outside?

Ran Qiunian was a little reluctant, Qi Ruoyun was indeed very good at pleasing girls, as long as he had the heart to please someone, it was difficult not to succeed.

If she hadn't seen Qi Ruoyun's nature clearly, she couldn't help but gradually like this person under Qi Ruoyun's deliberate flattery.

"Keep it, this thing is rare, and it should not be wasted. In the future, you will raise it, and if you can't support it, forget it. ”

Ran Qiunian stuffed the box into Qingxi's hand, although the things were received, it didn't mean that she didn't respond to Qi Ruoyun.

"Miss, slaves don't dare to raise such expensive things!"

Qingxi looked at the tulip buds in his hand and was dumbfounded.
