Ran Qiunian and Qi Ruoyun walked into the garden together and stopped in the pavilion.

"The little grandfather came to the door today, just to apologize to Nian'er?"

Ran Qiunian looked at Qi Ruoyun with a decent smile on his face, as faintly distant as usual.

Qi Ruoyun's eyes darkened slightly, since Ran Qiunian broke free from the gray harrier last night and failed to let her be stiffened by Li Daitao, all plans have been disrupted, and even he is a little caught off guard until now.

As the game-breaker of this game, what does Ran Qiunian know? This is the biggest purpose of Qi Ruoyun's coming over today.

"It was my poor care last night that made Nian'er's sister almost in distress, so naturally I had to come to apologize. I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, and seeing each other today can be regarded as an early goodbye. ”

Ran Qiu thought about his head, his lowered eyes hid a touch of impatience, and he didn't say anything, but because of Qi Ruoyun's words, he subconsciously thought of Xiao Yin, who had not returned all night.

If there is no accident, tomorrow, the eldest brother should also return to Beijing to report on his work.

But he heard Qi Ruoyun open his mouth and also mentioned Xiao Yin: "The street was too chaotic last night, and I don't know what happened after Brother Xiao chased him out, is he in the house now?" The riot on the lantern street last night should also be discussed with him in detail. ”

"The eldest brother is not in the house, the whereabouts of the child who was kidnapped by the bandits last night are unknown, and I must try my best to find it."

Ran Qiunian didn't talk about the fact that Xiao Yin didn't return all night, only said that he went out to track down the whereabouts of the lost child, which made Qi Ruoyun mistakenly think that Xiao Yin had just gone out this morning.

"If that's the case, then we can only talk about it later." After Qi Ruoyun heard this, he just said such a sentence with a little regret, and was about to speak, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the voice of Qingxi who hurried over from behind.

"Miss, Miss!"

Qingxi didn't notice Qi Ruoyun's existence, holding a post in his hand, and hurried over.

When she got closer, she found that Qi Ruoyun was also here, she immediately stopped her voice, stopped, and cautiously looked at Ran Qiunian and Qi Ruoyun in the pavilion, not knowing whether she should go over or not.

Seeing this, Ran Qiu chuckled, and said to Qingxi, who was hesitating: "Frizzy, why are you so anxious?" ”

Qi Ruoyun also gave up what he was going to say in time, and with Ran Qiunian's gaze, he looked at Qingxi who was coming from the post, although he didn't speak, the curiosity in his eyes was not hidden.

Seeing that Qi Ruoyun and Ran Qiunian didn't mean to blame themselves, Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he walked up to Ran Qiunian with the post and presented it with both hands.

"Miss Hui, it's Miss Yu'er's post sent to you, she ......"

Qingxi glanced at Qi Ruoyun who was standing next to him with some hesitation, Ran Qiunian saw this, thought about what he and Ran Yu'er had to hide from others, so he raised his hand to Qingxi with an unchanged expression: "You don't hurt to say it." ”

"Miss, it was Miss Yu'er who invited you to come over to talk about it, she will move into the capital with her father tomorrow, and she will be gone for many years, so I want to see you again before leaving."

So that's the case, Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, and couldn't help but sketch in her mind the little girl who was the most shy, because of the friendship formed during that time when she was a female student, Ran Qiunian also liked this girl with a good temperament.

"Why did you have to leave in such a hurry?" She asked.

"The slave doesn't know either, but it seems that she made a decision in a hurry, and Miss Yu'er invited you to come over this time, just to talk about these things?"

Qingxi and Ran Yuer's personal maid Abi got along well, and they had been in contact for a longer time than the two young ladies, but she didn't know anything about this matter in advance, and she was probably deliberately concealed.

There must be something going on that that they don't know.

Ran Qiunian nodded, knowing it in her heart, and then turned her head to Qi Ruoyun and smiled apologetically: "Little grandfather, since you are a sister in the boudoir, Nian'er is ......."

She didn't finish her words, but the implication was obvious, with Qi Ruoyun's usual demeanor, she would definitely not make Ran Qiunian embarrassed.

Sure enough, Qi Ruoyun clasped his hands into fists and said goodbye to Ran Qiunian: "There are still some things that have not yet been dealt with by the city guard, since Sister Nian'er also has important matters, then I won't bother." ”

"Little grandpa, let's go."

Ran Qiu read the blessing and sent Qi Ruoyun away. After the person disappeared, he stood up, grabbed the invitation card in Qingxi's hand and opened it to take a closer look.

It was indeed Ran Yu'er's handwriting, Ran Qiunian looked at the three simple sentences above, read it over and over again, and didn't figure out anything.

"It seems that I still have to go to the house in person."

Ran Qiunian instructed Qingxi to go down, and asked her to immediately prepare a carriage and rush to Ran Yu'er's house.

Qingxi received the order, quickly set up the carriage, and helped Ran Qiunian, who had changed into a simple dress, into the car.

The two of them rode the carriage all the way to the western suburbs of Ran's house, and when they passed by the western suburbs of the grain village, Ran Qiunian opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, but it was a depression.

"In the past, when I saw this grain farm, although it was not as prosperous as the city, it was not so closed that the gate was closed."

Qingxi heard Ran Qiunian's emotion, and couldn't help but look outside with her line of sight, a little puzzled: "How did Miss find out?" ”

"I once came here with Brother Qiubai to inspect the store, and he also said, don't look at the grain village in the western suburbs, it is actually the largest grain village in Splendid City, and it is a large amount of business, which shows its financial resources."

Speaking of which, Ran Qiunian was even more strange, the good grain village business was doing so well, why did Ran Yuer's family suddenly close the Zhuangzi and move to the capital at home?

"It's a pity that such a good grain farm is closed."

Qingxi also seemed to understand and echoed two sentences.

Ran Qiunian didn't say more, and the carriage quickly turned around from the western suburbs of the grain village, and arrived at Ran's house in a blink of an eye.

"Miss, look, Abi is waiting at the door!"

Qingxi was the first to get off the carriage, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a blue figure standing on the steps in front of the house, she turned around to help Ran Qiunian, who came down from behind, and couldn't help but gesture behind with her eyes.

Ran Qiunian held Qingxi's hand, walked down from the carriage, and followed the girl's eyebrows and eyes to see Abi standing on the steps.

"Fourth Miss, my young lady said that you will come over when you receive the post, and the slave waits here for the fourth lady's car." Abi saw Ran Qiunian get out of the carriage, and immediately came over with a red fluttering little face.

"You girl, seeing that the weather is getting cold, if I have something to delay, or if I don't plan to go to the appointment, you will wait here?"

Ah Bi and Ran Yu'er are the same age, and they are both younger than Ran Qiunian, so when Ran Qiunian looked at them, she had a little bit of the thought of looking at the juniors, and her tone unconsciously gentle.

"Look at your face is blown red, but you've been standing on the doorstep for a long time?"

Ran Qiunian casually said a few words to Abi, and was led by her to the house.

Ah Bi's temperament is the same as Ran Yu'er's shyness, and when she heard this, she just lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, without pouring half of the bitter water.

I thought that I would be led to Ran Yuer's house, or the main hall for entertaining guests, but I didn't expect Ah Bi to lead them straight through these two places and walk to a small garden behind the house that had been carefully carved out.

"Fourth Miss, my young lady is waiting for you in the garden, there are some precious things inside, the slave and maid will not follow up, and I hope that the fourth young lady will take care of her feet."

After Ran Qiunian listened, the curiosity that was hung up along the way reached its peak, she looked at the garden, then at Abi, and instructed Qingxi: "You can also go down with Abi to rest, since the things inside are precious, I will go and take a look at it myself." ”

Qingxi thought that this was Ran Yu'er's courtyard, and there would be nothing wrong, so he also watched Ran Qiunian walk into the garden behind him with confidence.

"Abi, what did your young lady do in the garden? Why can't you and I go in? ”

Qingxi asked Ah Bi in a whisper, and her heart was as if she had been gently scratched by a cat's paw, and she was very curious.

Who knew that Abi looked at Qingxi a little confused: "I didn't say that I couldn't go in." ”

Seeing Qingxi's puzzled face, she explained softly:

"There are some flowers and plants planted by the young lady, some can't stand the wind, some can't stand the sun, some are afraid of water, and some can't lack water for a while, I can't get these things clumsy and clumsy, so I have never gone in."

It turned out that Ran Qiunian misunderstood Abi's meaning, thinking that Ran Yuer had something to say to her to avoid suspicion.

She didn't hear the two maids behind her talking together, and when she walked into the garden, she realized that there was a hole in it.

Ran Qiunian stood still, found a convenient place to put his feet in a clump of green shoots, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Ran Yu'er who was squatting there carefully watering something in the mud at a square mud garden in the middle of the garden.

"Yu'er, what are you doing?" Ran Qiunian looked curiously at the small piece of land she was tending to, avoiding the boundary planted with flowers and plants at her feet, and slowly leaned towards the place where Ran Yu'er was.

"Sister Nian'er," Ran Yu'er paused, looked sideways at the person, and immediately smiled a little, she put down the water scoop, stood up and shouted Ran Qiunian, "Come on, I'm about to show you." ”

Ran Qiunian listened, raised his eyebrows, and with full curiosity, he quickened his pace and walked closer.

Ran Yu'er was dressed in narrow sleeves and narrow pants, and her hair was wrapped in a cloth towel, which looked quite neat and tidy like a peasant girl, which made Ran Qiunian look a little refreshing.

"I thought you shouldn't have much energy today, but it seems that I thought something wrong."

Ran Qiunian said meaninglessly, and before Ran Yu'er asked, he pointed to the things on the ground and asked, "What kind of treasure is this?" ”

When he got closer, Ran Qiunian realized that there was not nothing in this field, although it was sparse, there were green shoots emerging in several places, but he didn't know what was planted in it.

"Sister Nian'er, did you forget?" Ran Yu'er's attention was pulled back, and when she talked about the results of her efforts during this time, her tone became a little unconsciously excited, "This is the white stack that Sister Nian'er entrusted me to plant that day." ”
