Chapter 59: The Step-Room Turmoil
Of course, these words can only be buried in the bottom of Ran Qiunian's heart, and half a sentence can't be revealed, otherwise he won't be regarded as a madman?
Thinking of this, Ran Qiunian's stomach was full of dissatisfaction, and he suddenly vented it, and his head was very sloppy like Ran Qiubai after saying the wrong thing.
"Nian'er is actually not small......" Ran Qiunian protested dryly.
"I can't tell you about this matter for the time being, Nian'er, this is also for your own good. You'll know when the time comes. ”
Seeing Ran Qiunian's dejected appearance, Xiao Yin was a little unbearable, and he rarely said a few words to appease Ran Qiunian.
"Okay, okay."
Ran Qiunian nodded, this is not once or twice, she should have gotten used to it.
It's just that Xiao Yin didn't say those things in the past, she didn't ask, she didn't care about them. But for some reason, she has been paying more and more attention to these things recently, and she has become a little different from her.
Could it be that it's because Brother Qiubai is back, and the eldest brother only tells Brother Qiubai about this, which makes me feel isolated by the two of them? Ran Qiunian touched her chin, unable to understand her sudden loss.
"What do you think, so engrossed?"
Ran Qiubai patted Ran Qiunian's head, his face full of doubts: "Are you making up bad things about me in your heart?" ”
"Nian'er is not as boring as Brother Qiubai."
Ran Qiunian patted Ran Qiubai's hand and blocked the person back angrily.
The brother and sister talked as if no one was around.
Xiao Yin watched the brother and sister bickering on the side, and for some reason, his heart was a little touched, as if the originally lonely and cold house suddenly became lively.
"Big brother, are you done talking?"
Ran Qiunian noticed Xiao Yin's gaze, and then realized that the way he was arguing with Ran Qiubai just now was seen in Xiao Yin's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"We've already finished talking."
Xiao Yin and Ran Qiubai glanced at each other, and said to Ran Qiunian.
When Ran Qiunian heard this, he grabbed Ran Qiubai and smiled at Xiao Yin: "Then lend Brother Qiubai to Nian'er for a while, Nian'er also has something to tell Brother Qiubai." ”
Xiao Yin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately bowed his head, and without waiting for him to say anything, Ran Qiunian happily pulled away Ran Qiubai, who was leaning on the side, and the two of them left the study together.
Looking at the back of Ran Qiunian leaving happily, Xiao Yin's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he didn't understand where the irritability in his heart came from.
Ran Qiunian pulled Ran Qiubai and walked directly back to his house, Ran Qiubai saw the extremely convenient partition wall door between the two courtyards, and couldn't stand the amazement.
"There is even a mystery in your yard, which makes it convenient for both sides to come and go. It's a pity that there is no empty yard here, otherwise I would have moved the yard here, and the three of us would have entered and exited together. ”
"Brother Qiubai, listen to what you mean, when you come back this time, are you planning to stay for a long time?"
When Ran Qiu heard this, he was quite surprised.
"Yes, I didn't come back before because I was afraid that my grandmother would always rush me out of the imperial examination, but I didn't have the heart to be an official, so I had to hide outside. Now that Xiao Yin's kid understands Yuan, my grandmother's attention has shifted to him, and I am relieved. ”
Ran Qiubai's face was full of joy, which made Ran Qiunian cry and laugh.
"It's so bad to be an official, Brother Qiubai seems to be going to be tortured."
"My lifelong wish is to become the richest man in this dynasty, doing business is much more interesting than being an official, you little girl, you don't understand."
Ran Qiubai patted Ran Qiunian's head and laughed.
Ran Qiunian dodged sideways, straightened his hair that had been messed up several times, and couldn't help but glared angrily at the people around him.
Only then did Ran Qiubai withdraw his hand and touch the back of his head.
"The day after tomorrow is the day of my father's marriage, what does Brother Qiubai think?"
Ran Qiunian suddenly said something inexplicable, Ran Qiubai was stunned, looked at her sister with calm eyes, put away the smile on her face, and turned up.
"Why do you suddenly ask this? This is my father's own business, and we are allowed to be the arguing of our juniors. Nian'er, don't think too much. ”
"I just feel it, just talk about it."
Ran Qiunian saw that Ran Qiubai's face became serious, so he stopped talking behind him, smiled easily, and didn't mention it.
Ran Qiubai always felt a little uneasy, seeing Ran Qiunian's usual look, his eyes were full of suspicion, he was afraid that Ran Qiunian would not be able to please him: "Don't think about making trouble on that day, my father is getting more and more ...... these days."
Speaking of this, Ran Qiubai paused, didn't say any more, but changed another sentence.
"In short, you just have to eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind, and the rest of the things will be supported by your own brother, even if the Liu family enters the door in the future, my brother will never let people bully you."
Listening to what Ran Qiubai said, Ran Qiunian only felt that a mist was filling her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head to prevent Ran Qiubai from seeing the moisture in her eyes, but her tone was the same as usual, with some lightness.
"Where did you think of it? Am I such a brainless person? That's okay, in the future, Nian'er will only be responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun, and Brother Qiubai will only take care of Nian'er, so that Nian'er will have endless silver and endless delicacies. ”
"That's natural, I only have one sister for you, who else can you spoil if you don't spoil me?"
Ran Qiubai patted Ran Qiunian's head, but this time Ran Qiunian avoided it without disgust.
The two days passed in a flash, and the whole house was filled with red joy on the day of the wedding banquet, and the front yard was lively.
In stark contrast to the bustling and lively front yard, the courtyard on Ran Qiunian's side, as usual, there was not even a strip of red cloth up and down, because the owners of the yard were all gone, and it looked even more deserted.
Ran Qiunian was staying with her grandmother at this time, and the grandparents and a group of female dependents were chatting in the house, because of the momentum of the old lady of Ran Mansion, the female dependents did not dare to be too casual.
Sanfang and the Feng family did not come this time, the reason is self-evident, everyone is hindered by the majesty of the old lady, and no one dares to mention these two families.
"Today is the great joy of the Ran Mansion, I heard that the lady who married was also from a scholarly family, but the family was in the middle of the road, and it was rare that the person was virtuous and polite, and he was a good person. Sometime. After entering the house, with such a virtuous daughter-in-law to help her, the old lady was much more relaxed. ”
The following aunt smiled and said hello to the old lady, the old lady's expression was faint, and Liu Rumei entered the door, whether it was joy or worry for them, it was not yet known.
"But it's not, I heard that he is a blessed man, and he even gave birth to two children, now it's okay, and after entering the door, he will have both children and daughters."
After the other person finished speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled, but when he saw that the room was suddenly deserted, and no one answered her words, he stopped his mouth without embarrassment, and saw the old lady's cold face.
"Really, shut up if you can't speak, look at what you say, deliberately make people unable to get off the stage?" A person next to him muttered a few words and came out to make a round.
"In the final analysis, the Ran family is blessed, I heard what I said, it seems that although this new lady is in decline, she still has something to do with the seriousness of the Imperial Guard's Mansion! In the future, the two will get married, and they can add a big boost to the Ran family, aren't those of us next to us just greedy? ”
There are people in this lady's family who are officials, and they are well-informed, I don't know where they heard the rumors, Ran Qiunian was thoughtful, the relationship between the imperial guard mansion that this person said was most likely Liu Rumei's distant cousin Wang Hu.
Thinking of the big gift she was going to give to Liu Rumei next, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but look forward to it, she looked at the sky outside, turned sideways and beckoned the ginkgo standing next to her, and asked softly.
"Sister Ginkgo, what time is it?"
"Miss Hui's words, it's the end of time." Ginkgo didn't think much about it and replied softly.
Ran Qiunian said meaningfully: "The front yard is about to open......"
"Yes, Miss," Ginkgo didn't notice anything wrong, and seeing Ran Qiunian's expectant look, she hesitated and asked, "Do you want to take the ladies over first?" ”
Before Ran Qiunian could answer, she heard the grandmother on the side look at her strangely: "What are you two whispering next to me?" Tell your grandmother about it, too. ”
The last sentence was said to Ran Qiunian, Ran Qiunian smiled, snuggled up, and held her grandmother's arm: "I didn't say anything, Sister Ginkgo said that the banquet was about to start, and asked if you wanted to go over and have a look first." ”
"It's been this hour, Nian'er is hungry, right? Eat a lotus leaf cake to cushion your stomach first. Let's go now, and the hour is almost over. ”
When the grandmother saw the sky, she was afraid that Ran Qiunian would be hungry, so she took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her hand, and then turned her head to the ladies under the seat.
The group got up and walked to the mat set up in the front yard. Ran Qiunian deliberately pulled her grandmother to walk behind everyone, passed slowly, and nibbled on the pastry with the other hand, only to feel that this lotus leaf cake was surprisingly sweet.
Grandmother felt Ran Qiunian's reluctance, but thought that she was still unhappy about Ran Lin's marriage to Liu Rumei, and because of that distress, she didn't say anything to Ran Qiunian's deliberate slowdown.
When they reached the entrance of the front hall, they heard a noise coming from inside, and everyone stopped and looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Grandmother and Ran Qiunian stood behind everyone, and naturally found that something was wrong, grandmother frowned, and Ran Qiunian hurriedly accompanied her grandmother to the front to check the situation.
Although the seats of their female dependents and the male guests are in the same hall, they are covered by screens and divided into two rooms, and even the entrance is not opened in the same place.
The weather was hot, and it was a little inappropriate to let these squeamish female relatives get sunburned outside, and the grandmother checked that the place where the trouble was in the courtyard of the male guest, so she asked Ginkgo to invite those female relatives into the hall first, and place them one by one.
Then, he planned to go to the front to see who was making trouble in the Ran family today.
"Grandmother, Nian'er will accompany you."
Ran Qiunian has been keeping an eye on her grandmother's movements, and when she saw that she was going to take someone to the front, for fear that she would be hit, she hurried over and grabbed her grandmother's arm, smiling and sticking to people.
Grandmother didn't plan to bring Ran Qiunian over, but seeing that this girl was looking at herself, she still relented and agreed.
