Qi Ruoyun looked at Ran Qiunian with a slightly stunned look.

Liu Yufei was standing behind Qi Ruoyun, walking with him, and when he saw this scene, he was suddenly a little thoughtful. He gave Liu Yunyao, who came over with him, a look.

Liu Yunyao looked at Qi Ruoyun, who was attracted by Ran Qiunian, concealed the jealousy in her heart, took a step forward, turned her head and looked at Qi Ruoyun as if she was puzzled, and smiled clearly: "Brother Qi, why don't you go in?" ”

Qi Ruoyun retracted his gaze, looked at the beautiful and weak Liu Yunyao beside him, smiled his head, raised his feet and stepped into the banquet hall, it was really interesting that a waste like Ran Lin could give birth to daughters like Liu Yunyao and Ran Qiunian, who had their own merits.

After Liu Yunyao entered the banquet hall, she sat down with Ran Qiunian's hand, and was next to Ran Yinyin in the third room. She and Ran Qiunian didn't deal with each other, so naturally they had nothing to say, but they didn't expect Ran Yinyin in the third room to take the initiative to talk to her.

Ran Qiunian listened to Ran Yinyin and Liu Yunyao, who were talking softly next to her, thinking about the conversation she overheard behind the worship hall of the City God Temple that day, and suddenly became wary of these two women.

Now that Qi Ruoyun is still in the mansion, they can still be afraid and dare not make a big fuss. But as soon as Qi Ruoyun leaves tomorrow, they will have no scruples.

Ran Qiunian was so engrossed that she didn't feel that everyone's eyes were all focused on her, or Qingxi quietly pushed Ran Qiunian on the side to wake her up from her thoughts.

"Nian'er, Nian'er? What do you think, so engrossed? ”

The old lady's voice came happily from above, and Ran Qiunian noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he suddenly woke up, and while coping, he quietly gestured to Qingxi beside him.

"Grandmother, Nian'er didn't think about anything. Brother Qiubai brought me a bag of novel seeds, and I am thinking about planting them in the next few days. ”

Qingxi approached Ran Qiunian and whispered in her ear what everyone was talking about, Ran Qiunian knew it in her heart, and was about to pretend not to know and fool the past, when she heard Qi Ruoyun ask again.

"What does Sister Nian'er think? When my mother heard that I was living in Ranfu these days, she remembered what happened when I was a child, and I missed my sister very much. When you are waiting for the autumn, Nian'er's sister will go to Beijing with Yu Fei and Xiao Jieyuan, and let your mother and sisters take you around. ”

Qi Ruoyun's invitation made everyone present have their own thoughts, but Ran Qiunian couldn't, so he had to endure the impatience in his heart and gave Qi Ruoyun an ambiguous answer.

"I heard that the prosperity of Shangjing City far exceeds that of Splendid City, if you have the opportunity to see it, it is naturally good. Spring has just passed, and it's a little early to talk about autumn. Nian'er thanked the little grandfather for his kindness first. ”

Qi Ruoyun listened, smiled, and didn't say more. In his heart, he didn't feel that he was so good, and with the face given by the Duchess of the Kingdom, Ran Qiunian, a woman from a merchant, would not be moved by this opportunity at all.

Ran Qiubai watched from the side, and always felt that Qi Ruoyun's kid had a peacock opening posture to Ran Qiunian, and couldn't help but bump into Xiao Yin, who had been silent next to him, and muttered in a low voice.

"I always think this kid has ulterior motives, what do you say?"

Xiao Yin ignored Ran Qiubai, he glanced at Qi Ruoyun, who was bound to win, and his eyes fell on Ran Qiunian, and at a glance, he could see from Ran Qiunian's small movements that she was not in a high mood, and for some reason, she was slightly relieved.

Liu Yunyao looked at Ran Qiunian with a look of "wanting to refuse and welcome", and secretly scolded that she didn't know what to do, she couldn't hide her jealousy in her heart, but she didn't show a drop of water on her face, but her eyes were full of sadness, and she glanced at the little grandfather sitting in the opposite seat with smoke and fog, and put on a weak posture.

Qi Ruoyun looked at Liu Yunyao, who was so seductive, and naturally felt a little itchy in his heart, but when he thought of the value hidden behind Ran Qiunian, he could only temporarily live up to Yu Fei's sister's love.

Ran Yinyin looked around, and naturally noticed the atmosphere between Liu Yunyao, the little grandfather and Ran Qiunian, she lifted the teacup and gently brought it to her lips, hiding the calculation under her eyes through the cover of the cup.

The meal ends with everyone's thoughts.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, but Ran Qiunian was called into the house by the old lady, after she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, the old lady looked at her with a different look than usual, but there was no malice.

"Grandmother, why do you look at Nian'er like this, but what's wrong?"

Ran Qiunian touched the ruby ribbon on her head a little uncomfortably, and was a little hairy when she was looked up and down by her grandmother.

"I didn't think it in the past, but when I look at it today, Nian'er has grown so big, and she is almost a big girl."

The old lady stretched out her hand and took Ran Qiunian to her side, hugged Ran Qiunian and said with a smile.

"Grandmother is so weird today, what are you doing with all this? Who doesn't grow up and get older, the sooner Nian'er grows up, the sooner she can take care of her grandmother, isn't it great? ”

Ran Qiunian smiled and snuggled up to her grandmother, but when she heard her grandmother's voice, she threw out a thunderbolt and exploded in Ran Qiunian's ears.

"Look, you're almost old enough to look at each other. What does Nian'er think of Qi Ruoyun? ”

Ran Qiunian's feet were weak, and she almost fell to the ground, she quickly broke free from her grandmother's arms, and was so frightened that she retreated again and again, looking at her grandmother in horror and shaking her head.

"Grandmother, Nian'er is still young!"

"What nonsense, you will be able to reach it in two years, the eldest sister of your third uncle's family is only a few years older than you, and they all got married last year. Grandmother just looks at you in advance, so as not to miss the good son. ”

The old lady was born as a military general, and she has a very good temperament, and she has never had the idea of avoiding Ran Qiunian for major marriage matters.

She doted on Ran Qiunian and didn't want to wronged her, so the matter of choosing a family was also discussed with Ran Qiunian directly.

"That has nothing to do with Qi Ruoyun, right? Grandmother, you can be merciful, can you adapt to so many rules of the Guogong Mansion with this temperament. ”

Ran Qiunian thought that her grandmother's optimism about Qi Ruoyun was just looking at ordinary juniors, but who knew that she wanted to give her and Qi Ruoyun some mandarin duck scores, and hurriedly coquettishly tried everything she could, wanting the old lady to quickly dispel the terrible thoughts.

The old lady listened to it a little when she heard this, although this Qi Ruoyun is good, but the Guogong Mansion is a relative of the emperor and the country, and the rules are strict, Ran Qiunian will inevitably be uncomfortable when she marries in, thinking of the grievances that Ran Qiunian may suffer, she suddenly rested for a while.

But he still nodded Ran Qiunian's forehead a little angrily: "I just mentioned it casually, you girl is good, the reaction is so big, I don't know what kind of flood beast Qi Ruoyun is." ”

Ran Qiu smiled and thought to herself, isn't Qi Ruoyun a flood beast? But I can't let my grandmother hear this, as long as my grandmother doesn't match herself and Qi Ruoyun together, it's fine.

Nian'er is not reluctant to leave her grandmother, but wants to stay with her grandmother for a few more years. Even if you want to get married, you have to marry someone close to home, so that you can see your grandmother all the time. ”

Ran Qiunian rested her head on her grandmother's shoulder and shook it.

"Poor mouth, since you don't like Qi Ruoyun, grandmother will help you look at each other more, this kind of thing should be sooner rather than later, your mother went early, and only grandmother will help you pay more attention."

The old lady was also a little sad when she spoke, she took Ran Qiunian's hand, and felt a little emotional.

The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and seeing that the grandmother was a little tired, Ran Qiunian said goodbye, thinking about what the grandmother said all the way, and what she said to the grandmother was both heartwarming and helpless.

"Miss, do you see the eldest young master standing at the entrance of the courtyard?"

Qingxi's voice suddenly sounded, and she pointed to the light in front of her with some surprise.

Ran Qiunian looked along what Qingxi was pointing at, and sure enough, when he saw Xiao Yin walking in front, he immediately chased after him with a smile on his face, shouting Xiao Yin in his mouth.

"Big brother, why are you still outside at this time, are you deliberately waiting for Nian'er?"

Ran Qiunian trotted forward and reached out to shoot Xiao Yin's back, although Xiao Yin turned his back to Ran Qiunian, as if he had a pair of eyes on his back, he turned around and accurately grabbed Ran Qiunian's messy hand.

"Don't mess around."

Ran Qiunian smiled and walked to Xiao Yin's side. Although Xiao Yin didn't say anything, Ran Qiunian decided that he was waiting for her, and turned his face sideways and couldn't help but smile secretly.

For some reason, Ran Qiunian suddenly remembered the words that her grandmother had said to her about her family affairs before, and Xiao Yin's face unconsciously appeared in her mind.

She thought endlessly, her eldest brother was a few years older than herself, and she didn't know what kind of person her future sister-in-law would be.

The short road soon came to an end, and Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin stopped and stood at the door of their courtyard.

Looking at Xiao Yin's cold and resolute side face under the moonlight, Ran Qiunian suddenly realized that the indifferent young man who copied scriptures in the Buddhist hall at the beginning had gradually faded from his youthfulness, and he had more and more confidence in strategizing, but he did not have the gloom of the regent in his previous life.

"Go back and get some rest."

Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian standing at the entrance of the courtyard, didn't move for a long time, raised his hand to rub her hair, urged in a low voice, thought about it and added another sentence.

"You're still young, don't think too much. Guogong Mansion is not for you. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to his courtyard, Ran Qiunian looked at Xiao Yin's back as he strode away, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

When will Big Brother care about this? Ran Qiunian turned around in confusion and went back to the house, and lay down on the bed in confusion.

A dreamless night.

Qi Ruoyun's departure does not seem to have brought any changes to the Ran Mansion, but the news that Ran Lin is about to marry his stepwife, under the promotion of people in the mansion, is very lively in the rich circle of Splendid City.

Seeing that the house was also decorated with lights, Ran Qiunian's mood became more and more unhappy day by day, so he simply closed the gate and stayed in his yard out of sight and out of mind.

"Miss, Miss Sanfangyin is here, I just met the old lady, and now I said that I brought you a gift, and I want to come and see you."

"What do I have to say to her?"

When Ran Qiu heard this, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Ran Yinyin's voice had already come from outside.

"Sister Nian'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately? There are new patterns in the jewelry shop at home, and my cousin wants to bring you a box of bead flowers, all of which are new patterns, do you still like it? ”

Ran Yinyin walked in with a smile, instructed the maid to send the box in her hand, put it on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and motioned for Ran Qiunian to open it and take a look.
