Chapter 40: Invitation

"Ran Yu'er? Coincidentally, why are you here? ”

When she was a girl, Ran Qiunian had a good sense of Ran Yuer. These days, the children's school has been stopped, and she has no intersection with Ran Yuer, who knew that she would meet in this western suburb grain village.

"My sister recognizes this? I don't know which lady it is? ”

Ran Qiubai originally thought that the little girl who was following the shopkeeper was the daughter of the shopkeeper, and she came to the store to help, but she seemed to know Ran Qiunian, and she was suddenly curious about her identity.

"This is my young lady, and I also have some in-law relationship with the main family, and I was entrusted by the master to let the young lady follow me in the store to learn some accounting skills."

It was also an accident for the shopkeeper to see a few people know, but to be able to make friends with the young lady of the main family is also beneficial to his young lady.

"It turned out to be the younger sister of my cousin's uncle's family, and she began to get in touch with the way of merchants at a young age, which is really amazing."

Ran Qiubai thought about it, found out this relationship from a large number of distant relatives in the Ran family, and praised Ran Yu'er without hesitation.

"Second Young Master praises, I can't afford such praise."

Ran Yu'er didn't expect to see Ran Qiunian here, naturally she was a little happy, she glanced at the unfamiliar Ran Qiubai a little shyly, and then put down the account book and walked to Ran Qiunian.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, why did the fourth lady think about coming to the Western Suburbs Grain Village today?"

Ran Qiunian saw that the shopkeeper and Brother Qiubai still had something to discuss, so she simply pulled Ran Yu'er to the garden behind the grain shop to talk.

"Recently, I was learning to distinguish herbs, and I heard that there were a lot of new good medicinal materials in the pharmacy, so I asked Brother Qiubai to take me out. But you, why did you suddenly think of going to the shop to go to school to manage the accounts? ”

Ran Qiunian and Ran Yu'er sat down in the garden.

"It's a pity that the girls' school didn't go on anymore."

After listening to what Ran Qiunian said, Ran Yu'er had some envy in her eyes.

But soon she picked up the regrets in her heart, and said with a smile about her harvest these days: "I am the only daughter in the family, and my father's life's work is in this western suburbs grain farm. The shopkeeper also said that I was very talented. ”

Looking at the sparkle in Ran Yu'er's eyes, although she was still young, when it came to the way of businessmen, Ran Qiunian felt a little surprised.

"I didn't expect you to be interested in doing business." Ran Qiunian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ran Yu'er couldn't figure out the meaning of Ran Qiunian's words, and looked at Ran Qiunian with some apprehension.

"Fourth Miss thinks that I am like this, after all, I am out of character, and the smell of copper is heavier."

"Of course not, we are business girls, I think it's good that you can say what you like. In this way, my brother Qiubai is similar to you, he is only dedicated to business, and the two of you can be regarded as good friends. ”

Ran Qiunian patted Ran Yu'er on the shoulder, and at the end, he quipped.

Ran Yu'er's face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm also just in contact, how can I compare with the talent of the second young master." ”

As the two spoke, they saw Qingxi running over from the front with a different complexion, and whispered in Ran Qiunian's ear: "Miss, Miss, it's not good, Miss Yin is actually here." Just outside, talking to the second young master. ”

Ran Qiunian's face changed, and she blurted out: "Why did she come here?" ”

"Who are you talking about?" Ran Yu'er looked at Ran Qiunian strangely.

But Ran Qiunian didn't care about talking to Ran Yu'er anymore, so she only dropped a sentence to talk about next time, and hurriedly chased to the front of the grain store with her skirt.

"Miss, you slow down, wait for the slave." Qingxi also hurried to catch up.

When I got to the front, as soon as I came out, I saw a girl in a blue skirt standing with Ran Qiubai at the door of the grain store, and a hibiscus face decorated with a sapphire hairpin in her hair became more and more gentle and beautiful, who is it not Ran Yinyin?

The familiar style of the gem hairpin made Ran Qiunian couldn't help but tug the ruby ribbon tied to his head a little angrily, good you Ran Qiubai, you actually gave Ran Yinyin the same head!

This time, even if Ran Qiunian wanted to deceive himself, it would be difficult for Ran Qiubai to have no special meaning to Ran Yinyin.

Looking at Ran Qiubai, who was standing and talking with Ran Yinyin, and unconsciously became polite, Ran Qiunian hid in the dark, gritted his teeth, shook his hand, and walked directly to the two of them.

"I heard the second cousin's voice just now, and I felt that I heard it wrong, but I didn't expect the second cousin to be really here. In such a remote place in the western suburbs of the grain village, why did the second cousin suddenly remember to come over? ”

Ran Qiunian stood beside Ran Qiubai's hand, separating the two, and smiled harmlessly at Ran Yinyin.

Unexpectedly, Ran Qiunian was also here, Ran Yinyin was a little surprised, and had to change her countermeasures and throw out the response she had originally thought of.

"I made an appointment with the sisters to go to the summer village in the suburbs for a small gathering, and I was passing by here, and when I saw the carriage and horses of the main family, I came over to say hello, why is my sister Nian'er also here?"

"I'm here, second cousin is surprised, right?"

Ran Qiunian said meaninglessly. Ran Yinyin lowered her eyes and smiled, but she didn't answer, but Ran Qiubai glanced at Ran Qiunian, who was full of gunpowder, strangely, but Ran Qiunian ignored him.

Ran Yinyin's original plan was destroyed by Ran Qiunian's existence, and if she couldn't make a plan, she had another plan.

"A few days ago, I said that my sister should have more contact with my sisters, and it just so happened that I had a small gathering with all the sisters today, do you want to be with my sister?"

Ran Qiubai didn't know the dark tide surging between the two sisters, and felt that it was also beneficial for Ran Qiunian to have more contact with her sisters, so she didn't have to be bored in the house all day, and was about to follow the persuasion, when she felt that her arm was pinched, and she immediately shut up.

"Wouldn't it be a disappointment if you didn't invite me and go? The second cousin will go by herself, Nian'er and Brother Qiubai will go to the pharmacy to see the new medicinal materials, and they really can't get out. I can only thank my second cousin for her kindness. ”

"In that case, forget it. By the way, two days later, my mother's birthday, I was talking about my sister Nian'er some time ago, and my sister should not forget to come then, my mother misses my sister very much. ”

The smile on Ran Yinyin's face remained unchanged, and after that, she couldn't refuse to ask the personal maid to take a post from the car and hand it to Qingxi, without waiting for Ran Qiunian to come up with any reason for refusal, she turned around and left with someone.

Ran Qiunian scolded in her heart, she was waiting for her here, and she even took the post with her.

Qingxi pinched the post in his hand, looked at Ran Yinyin who was leaving, and then looked at Ran Qiunian who was puffing up beside him, and didn't know how to react.

"Sister, why do you have a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes every time you see Sister Yin, Sister Yin has a good temperament, and she has been tolerant of you since she was a child, I remember that you used to like to stay with Sister Yin. But what's wrong with you? ”

After Ran Qiubai and the others left, they patted Ran Qiunian's head and expressed their doubts.

"Brother Qiubai, you are not in the mansion all the year round, you don't know a lot of things, and the second cousin is not the second cousin of the past, you will know in the future."

Ran Qiunian said a few words, and when he saw that Ran Qiubai didn't believe it, he didn't say more, he could only explain a few words ambiguously, and he thought in his heart that he had to let Ran Qiubai recognize Ran Yinyin's true face as soon as possible.

But Ran Yinyin has always been in the city, and no one has discovered her true face for so many years, how can she be revealed? Ran Qiu thought with a headache, and slowly shifted his gaze to the post that Qingxi was holding in his hand next to him, and had an idea.

"Brother Qiubai, will you go on the third aunt's birthday in two days?"

Ran Qiunian took the post and shook it at Ran Qiubai, and got a positive answer.

"Needless to say? Grandmother is old, and it is inconvenient to join in the excitement, and you and I have a trip on behalf of the main family, which is also considered to be a full courtesy. Why are you willing to go again? ”

After Ran Qiubai finished speaking, seeing Ran Qiunian smiling like a stealing cat, she pinched her nose angrily.

Ran Qiunian turned his head to avoid Ran Qiubai's hand, took Ran Qiubai's arm, and walked out: "Brother Qiubai and the shopkeeper have finished talking, it's time to go to the pharmacy with Nian'er, it's too late, and the good things have been bought by others." ”

After Ran Qiunian returned home, he took the fresh herbs he bought back to his yard, handed over the things to Qingxi, and asked her to go to the back of the house to open a small medicine garden to see if she could still plant them, but she slipped through the small door to Xiao Yin's yard next door.

didn't think about it, but he pounced on it, and couldn't find anyone in Xiao Yin's yard.

"Where's Big Brother?"

Ran Qiunian saw a familiar guard in the courtyard, remembered that he had followed Xiao Yin's side, and stopped someone.

"There is some trouble in the grain village in the neighboring city, and the young master will prepare a car to deal with it early in the morning."

When the man saw that the person who came was Ran Qiunian, he told the truth.

"What, I went to the grain farm in the neighboring city, why is it so sudden...... Did the big brother say when he would be back? ”

Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, it seemed that he would not be able to go to the third aunt's birthday banquet with his eldest brother in two days, and he originally wanted to ask his eldest brother to help take care of Brother Qiubai.

"I'm afraid it won't be back until two days at the earliest."

"It's been so long, I know, then when the big brother comes back, remember to ask him to send me a message."

Thinking that she wouldn't be able to see Xiao Yin for two days, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but feel a little lost, she knew that this was the case, she wouldn't leave the house today, but after thinking about it, didn't she give Ran Yinyin a chance to take advantage of? Suddenly there was comfort again.

Two days have passed in a flash, Xiao Yin has not returned, but the birthday banquet of the third aunt is close at hand.

Early in the morning, Ran Qiunian changed into festive clothes and went to Ran Qiubai to discuss the schedule of going to Sanfang Mansion to celebrate his birthday today.

"Today's third aunt's birthday, has Sister Nian'er prepared a birthday gift for the third aunt?"

Before leaving, Ran Qiubai thought of something, and asked casually, but stopped Ran Qiunian. Birthday gifts? She didn't think about it at all, and suddenly wrinkled a small face and looked at Ran Qiubai.

"Brother Qiubai, you must have prepared for Nian'er, right?"

Ran Qiubai looked at Ran Qiunian with a smile: "What have I been busy with these days, I really forgot to prepare a gift." is such a big person, and you still do things like this, or your grandmother knows you best and has already helped you prepare. ”

"Grandmother is the best, Nian'er will never forget it next time."

Ran Qiunian smiled with a weak face, and his eyes wandered a little. What is she doing these days? is just thinking about how to make Ran Yinyin reveal her true form at the birthday banquet and let her brother recognize the truth.
