"Not long ago." Old General Gu shook his head, and then saw Ran Qiunian who was following behind the old lady, his expression eased, "Nian'er is also here, let's sit down first." ”

Ran Qiunian was still wondering in his heart who the person mentioned in his uncle's mouth was, and when he heard this, he sat down next to Xiao Yin at the next place.

Both of them were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the second elder had called them over for a while.

But I heard the old general Gu speak: "Let's let your aunt talk to you, Xiao Yin, you come with me." ”

Old General Gu took Xiao Yin away from the hall, leaving Ran Qiunian and Old Madam Gu alone.

"What the hell is going on?"

After the old general Gu left, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be curious, and asked the old lady.

"Nian'er," Old Madam Gu asked with some hesitation, "What's the matter with that little grandfather?" What do you ...... to him?"

Old Madam Gu stopped abruptly halfway through her words, but it was meaningful. When Ran Qiu heard this, she was still a little puzzled at first, but she quickly reacted, realizing what Old Madam Gu was asking, she denied it inexplicably:

"Why did my aunt suddenly ask that? I don't have much contact with that little grandfather, how could I let you have such a misunderstanding? ”

"Really? In this case, why did the little grandfather suddenly come to the house to propose? Old Madam Gu was a little confused, and she couldn't figure it out when she thought about it.

"Propose? It was Qi Ruoyun who came just now, why did he come to propose, and who did he want to marry? ”

Ran Qiunian blurted out, a little incredulous.

"Don't worry, although the little grandfather took the agreement made by the late old lady of the Qi family and your grandmother when he was young, and came here to propose marriage, but after all, it was just a joke, and he had neither three books nor six appointments, nor had he exchanged famous tokens, so he couldn't count."

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was a little excited, Old Madam Gu hurriedly comforted her and relieved her.

"So, uncle, did he reject the little grandfather's proposal?"

Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, and still asked a little uneasily.

"Yes, I always have to ask your grandmother's opinion on this matter, but if you don't look at this, in my opinion and your uncle, the rules of the Qi State Mansion are heavy, and it is not suitable for Nian'er to marry him."

With Ran Qiunian's lively and active temperament, if he really marries into the Guogong Mansion, he will inevitably suffer hardships, and for Ran Qiunian's sake, they will not agree to come down like this.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you."

Ran Qiunian's exaggerated appearance for the rest of her life after the catastrophe made Old Madam Gu cry and laugh a little.

She shook her head, although they didn't plan to let Nian'er marry Qi Ruoyun, but she had also heard of the reputation of the Qi family's kid among the nobles in the capital.

After this girl refused her marriage to Qi Ruoyun, she looked like she almost fell into the fire pit and couldn't avoid it, if she let the nobles who admired Qi Ruoyun in the capital know, I am afraid she would be jealous.

"That little grandfather is so bad, Nian'er doesn't like him like this?"

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but ask, but Ran Qiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and what came to her mind was not Qi Ruoyun's gentle smile, but the indifference and ruthlessness when she was poisoned by Liu Yunyao.

Ran Qiunian shuddered, originally she was still skeptical of these strange memories, but as soon as she saw those memories on her front foot, Qi Ruoyun on her back foot came to the door to propose marriage, and Ran Qiunian had to link these two things together.

Perhaps, you really have the ability to predict the future? Ran Qiu thought inexplicably. No matter what, even if she didn't have those memories, she would never agree to marry Qi Ruoyun.

Ran Qiunian's heart had already been given to another person, and Xiao Yin's face unconsciously appeared in her mind, gradually replacing Qi Ruoyun's hypocritical face that made her feel a chill in her back.

I don't know what my uncle called Brother Yin to do? Ran Qiunian missed Xiao Yin more and more at this time.

"No matter how good the little grandfather is, it has nothing to do with me, uncle, you also know me, how can I stand the rules of the Guogong Mansion, if I have to be bound by these rules and regulations every day, won't I be suffocated to death."

Ran Qiunian pitifully pulled Old Madam Gu's arm, leaving no room for words, revealing her determination to refuse to marry the Guogong Mansion, and also allowing Old Madam Gu to completely dispel the last trace of hesitation.

"It's good if you really think so, your uncle and I are always on your side, what Nian'er likes is the best, and what others say is good, but it may not be the most suitable for you."

"It's still my aunt who knows how to read it best." Ran Qiunian shook Old Madam Gu's arm with a smile, and nodded her nose dotingly.

"You girl, how old are you, and you love to be coquettish so much."

Old Madam Gu said with a smile, in exchange for Ran Qiunian's bigger smile.

"Uncle, what did my uncle do when he called Brother Yin away alone?" Ran Qiunian coaxed Old Madam Gu into a smile, and seeing that she was in a good mood, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Old Madam Gu seemed to have seen through Ran Qiunian's careful thoughts, she glanced at Ran Qiunian funny, this girl was looking at herself with a blank eye.

"You can ask yourself, I don't have anything to do here, so I won't detrain you, I think it's almost the same over there, you can go find your brother Yin."

Old Madam Gu smiled with her eyebrows, and looked at Ran Qiunian with a bit of urgency, making her face flutter.

"Then the thought will retire first."

Ran Qiunian couldn't sit still because of Old Madam Gu's gaze, and hurriedly left the main hall with a red face.

As the old lady said, not long after Ran Qiunian left, he saw Xiao Yin walking back alone on the corridor: "Brother Yin! ”

Ran Qiunian shouted, and when he saw Xiao Yin looking at him, he happily trotted all the way over.

After Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian, he came back to his senses, and stood under the corridor with a somewhat pale face, quietly waiting for Ran Qiunian to come over.

Ran Qiunian didn't notice that Xiao Yin was wrong, and ran to Xiao Yin's side happily, she had something to say to Xiao Yin.

I don't know what my uncle said when he called Brother Yin, and whether he also knew about the little grandfather's courtship. If you knew, would you care? Ran Qiunian thought with a red face.

For her, this matter was too ridiculous, so she couldn't help but want to talk to Xiao Yin. What's more, she still has some inexplicable thoughts in her heart.

"Brother Yin, did you just listen to your uncle? Today......" Ran Qiunian quietly looked at Xiao Yin's expression, wanting to see some traces on his face.

But Ran Qiunian's words only opened a little, and in Xiao Yin's calm and traceless eyes, she was dumbfounded, the blush on her face retreated, and she looked at Xiao Yin a little bewildered, and finally noticed that something was wrong with him.

Before Ran Qiunian could ask, Xiao Yin had already spoken: "I have heard about this matter, Nian'er doesn't have to worry, although the Guogong Mansion is powerful, but when it comes to marriage, it has to be nodded by grandmother." ”

Xiao Yin's words made Ran Qiu Nian fall into an ice cellar, and she lost her thoughts in an instant, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yin, but saw that his eyes were still calm, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing, and finally couldn't help but panic a little.

"Brother Yin? What happened to you? Ran Qiunian couldn't help but ask, "Did Uncle Fang Cai tell you something?" ”

Faced with Ran Qiunian's question, Xiao Yin was only silent for a moment, thinking of the things he had heard from Old General Gu before, he could only restrain himself.

"I still have some official duties on my body, so I have to go first."

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

He didn't expect that Old General Gu had already seen through his thoughts about Ran Qiunian. But General Gu did not object, but just clarified the current situation with Xiao Yin.

The list of transactions brought from Splendid City was very wide-ranging, and since he personally accepted this case, he was bound to offend many powerful people and attract many dangers.

Although he was not afraid of danger, he was reluctant to pull Ran Qiunian into danger with him, so he could only temporarily distance himself and wait for the case in hand to end, and then talk about other things.

But Ran Qiunian didn't know this, feeling Xiao Yin's sudden estrangement, she was a little at a loss, so she could only watch Xiao Yin leave like this.

She stood on the porch for a while, until Xiao Yin's figure completely disappeared on the porch, she left in frustration, and the mood that she had been looking forward to was instantly drenched with cold water.

"What's wrong with Brother Yin? Could it be that he knew that the little grandfather proposed marriage, so he was unhappy? ”

Ran Qiu couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Yin was not in the mansion, so she had to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and watched the hour listlessly, waiting for Xiao Yin to come back and ask again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yin would go out early and return late in the next few days, busy until late at night, Ran Qiunian was not easy to disturb, and it was difficult to see Xiao Yin's face on weekdays, so it was delayed.

Tomorrow is the day when my grandmother enters Beijing, Ran Qiunian is pacing in the yard that she has cleaned up for her grandmother, thinking about Xiao Yin, who has been seeing the dragon for so many days, and the mood that should have been happy and looking forward to it has also become sentimental.

"No, it's been so many days, I can't go on like this, before I see my grandmother tomorrow, I must make it clear to Brother Yin."

Ran Qiu Nian slapped her palms and secretly made up her mind, no matter how late it was tonight, she would have to stay until Xiao Yin came back, met, spoke, and explained everything clearly.

After dinner, Ran Qiunian went to Xiao Yin's courtyard alone, and sat in the study waiting for him to come back. At the beginning of the day, when it was time to go to bed, Xiao Yin had not yet returned, but Ran Qiunian was invited back by the maid she found.

"Miss, tomorrow when Old Madam Ran enters Beijing, you will definitely be able to see the young master at the lunchtime banquet, why rush at this time? It's getting late, so let's go to bed quickly. ”

After the maid waited for Ran Qiunian to wash and change clothes, she watched the person lie on the couch, and then turned off the lights and withdrew.

Clinker, Ran Qiunian closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, but he was silently pinching the hour in his heart, and when he was about the middle of the hour, he vaguely heard a more leaky sound from the window, and Ran Qiunian sat up and gently opened his eyes in the dark.

She had already figured out that Xiao Yin had returned home at this hour in the past few days, and at this time, the maids who were keeping vigil in her yard were also at their sleepiest time, so it was convenient for her to sneak out.

Thinking of it, Ran Qiunian lifted the quilt, got off the ground lightly, took the cloak that had been prepared in the morning, put it on his body, and moved his gaze to the closed door.
