Chapter 11: Reward

After sending off the uninvited guests, my grandmother turned to look at Ran Qiunian with a proud look on her face and raised her face to ask for praise.

"It's only been a few days since Nian'er picked up the book, and she can already read Mr. Chunqiu's book?"

The smug look on Ran Qiunian's face disappeared suddenly, her eyes wandered, her little trick was blinded by Liu Yunyao, but it was useless to her old grandmother.

Ran Qiunian hummed and chirped to tell the truth.

"Where is Nian'er watching it herself, when the eldest brother was studying, he mentioned a few words to Nian'er, and asked me to write it down, so I used it to block Liu Yunyao's mouth!"

The old lady shook her head with a smile at Ran Qiunian, who was full of narrowness, and she said how this girl suddenly changed her character.

"It seems that Xiao Yin's child still has some merits, just because he can let you read the book with peace of mind, he is worthy of the old woman's reward. Come on, give the eldest young master the four treasures of the study. ”

The old lady's reward was not precious, but it showed an attitude.

Ran Qiunian was very happy when she saw the appreciation of Xiao Yin in her grandmother's eyes.

Because Liu Yunyao cleaned up during the day, Ran Qiunian's mood was extremely comfortable throughout the day, and he didn't even have such a headache with books.

At night, when Xiao Yin came back from his shop tour, he saw Ran Qiunian, who had been sitting in his study for an unknown amount of time, and the little girl was pillowing his books, sleeping not very steadily.

Xiao Yin paused, and asked Qingxi who was guarding beside him.

Qingxi remembered Ran Qiunian's instructions before, and hurriedly stepped forward to wake her up: "Wake up, eldest young master, the eldest young master is back." ”

Ran Qiu sat up from the table with a snap, grabbed the book, and looked at it with a careless look.

"The book is reversed."

Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian's appearance of this girl playing treasure, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth to remind.

Ran Qiunian's face turned red, and he hurriedly turned the book upside down, and when he looked at it carefully, he was immediately angry:

"Big brother lied to people, Nian'er didn't take the book backwards before!"

Xiao Yin couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth when she was amused by Ran Qiunian's reaction, this girl was really surprising him every moment.

"Big brother, ...... you smiled" Ran Qiunian looked at Xiao Yin's rare smile blankly, although he only hooked the corners of his mouth, but the smile on the bottom of his eyes made Xiao Yin's whole temperament dazzling, "Big brother is so beautiful when he laughs!" ”

Xiao Yin put away the fleeting smile, raised his hand and knocked on the stunned Ran Qiunian: "I haven't slept at this point, what are you doing in my study?" ”

"Big brother should really smile more......"

Ran Qiunian covered his forehead that had been knocked by Xiao Yin, muttered, and then pointed to the four treasures of the study on the table and said with a smile:

"Big brother, look, these are all rewarded by my grandmother, and my grandmother said that Nian'er has been learning effectively recently, thanks to the teaching of my eldest brother. Nian'er herself also thinks that studying in the eldest brother's study is better than reading in her own yard, and she has read a few more pages today! ”

Xiao Yin glanced at the things that Ran Qiunian was pointing at, his expression was faint, but he was helpless when he looked at the book that Ran Qiunian was holding and showing off:

"This is my book, you have not been learning it for a long time, you can't read it yet, you need to take it step by step. Have you finished reading all the books that were sent to your house before? ”

Ran Qiunian bit her lip, and was quite embarrassed to close the book Xiao Yin was looking at, hugged her tightly in her arms like a baby, and told Xiao Yin the truth:

"Actually, it was Liu Yunyao who used her knowledge to squeeze me today, I was not angry for a while, so I said that I had read Mr. Chunqiu's notebook, and Nian'er was worried that he would be exposed in the future, so I wanted to ask my eldest brother to tell Nian'er more about the things in that notebook......"

Xiao Yin saw that Ran Qiunian's expression was a little gloomy, and she felt pity for this pampered and willful girl inexplicably, the courtyard was deep, she was already difficult to rely on, and now she was in a difficult situation, no wonder this girl who had always done things recklessly began to learn to look ahead and backwards.

"With your current knowledge, it's still too difficult to read Mr. Chunqiu's notes."

When Ran Qiu heard this, his face suddenly became bitter, but the next moment, Xiao Yin added unhurriedly: "But what you think is not unreasonable, after that, you come to my study every hour to listen to it, and I will tell you Mr. Chunqiu's notes in detail." ”

The look on Ran Qiunian's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Xiao Yin, who was indifferent, and couldn't help but rush forward and hug Xiao Yin:

"Big brother is the best, Nian'er likes big brother the most!"

Xiao Yin stiffened, a little unaccustomed to being so close to people suddenly.

Ran Qiunian had already stepped back before Xiao Yin pushed her away, and waved his hand at Xiao Yin: "It's too late today, let's start tomorrow!" Nian'er doesn't bother the big brother, the big brother rests more. ”

As she spoke, Ran Qiunian ran out of Xiao Yin's yard and went back to sleep.

This cunning girl, when her goal is achieved, she leaves so simply, it's really ...... Xiao Yin shook his head, but he didn't notice the shocked eyes of the people around him.

Is this still their eldest young master, who is cold all day long and hates contact with people the most?

I was going to go to bed directly, but thinking of Ran Qiunian's eyes looking at her eyes, Xiao Yin took Mr. Chunqiu's notes from the shelf and read them on the night.

Early the next morning, Ran Qiunian deliberately got up early in the morning, and after freshening up, he took the book cage and ran to Xiao Yin's yard next door to take a look, only to find that Xiao Yin had already gone out to inspect the store early in the morning.

Ran Qiunian put the book cage into Xiao Yin's study, and thought about it with his chin on his chin, although Xiao Yin had always had this routine in the past, but now it is different from the past, and it is not long before the day of the Spring Imperial Examination.

At this time, even Liu Yufei shrank in the room and did nothing, studying behind closed doors, for fear of wasting a little time.

But Xiao Yin still spends most of his time every day on trivial chores such as patrolling stores.

Even if they have a lot of business in Ran Mansion, it won't make Xiao Yin dignified that the eldest young master of Ran Mansion has to personally go to the store every day, right? Ran Qiunian was a little unhappy.

"Hey, you, that's you, come here."

Ran Qiunian's gaze swept in front of the door, and he happened to see a somewhat familiar subordinate, so he called the person over.

"I remember, you are the uncle's person, and now you are with the eldest brother, what are you doing in the house?"

Ran Qiunian's eyes rolled, and he smiled and smiled.

The man saw that it was Ran Qiunian who stopped him, and thinking about Xiao Yin's attitude towards Ran Qiunian, he also honestly asked what to answer.

"The small one is in charge of the night patrol in this yard, and there is nothing to do during the day."

This is a coincidence, Ran Qiunian's eyes lit up, and then asked: "Then you tell me, what time do the lights go out and when do you go to bed in the eldest brother's house?" ”

"If you go back to the eldest lady, the eldest young master will go back to the house at the same time, and the lights will usually be turned off before the hour. But recently, when I want to warm up my book at night, I turn off the lights before I am ugly. ”

There's nothing to hide, just a casual probing will tell you, and there's nothing to hide.

"Why is it so late?" Ran Qiunian also knew that Xiao Yin went out early and returned late on weekdays, and was busy with affairs, but she didn't expect it to be so hard, she counted the hours, and blurted out in surprise, "Big brother has to patrol the store every hour, and he sleeps so late, how can he afford it in the long run?" ”

"It's not, people say that the civil and military officials have a time to rest every day in the court, but our young master has no rest every day, even if he is sick, he can't take a day off."

The old servant sighed, a little distressed.

Ran Qiunian listened to it, but she was also distressed, she thought that she begged Xiao Yin to explain Mr. Chunqiu's manuscript for herself last night, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Okay, Miss Ben knows, you go down first, I have my own plans for this."

Ran Qiunian sent people back, and sat down in Xiao Yin's study again, but he couldn't read the book in his hand.

"Qingxi, let's go find Grandmother."

Ran Qiunian pushed the book and stood up, with a plan in his heart.

"Miss, slow down."

Qingxi chased after Ran Qiunian, who was striding meteors, and was busy persuading the little people who kept under his feet to slow down a little.

Unexpectedly, the two walked to their grandmother's yard, and saw Liu Yunyao from a distance with a little maid with raw eyes, carrying a food box, and also going to her grandmother's house.

"Okay, this Liu Yunyao is really a thief, and while I'm not there, I want to secretly please my grandmother."

Ran Qiunian stopped, frowned and snorted coldly.

"This Liu girl is a good person in the house, and I heard that she is also very generous, and she has only been in the house for a few days, and she has already attracted a lot of people."

Qingxi is loyal to Ran Qiunian, and naturally has no good impression of Liu Yunyao, who wants to take advantage of Ran Qiunian everywhere and squeeze Ran Qiunian's position in the mansion.

"Take the money of Ran Mansion to be a good person, and this Liu Yunyao will be able to attract a few subordinates."

Ran Qiunian looked at Liu Yunyao, and saw that she couldn't even see her grandmother's face at all, and was directly blocked at the gate of the courtyard by the big girl beside her grandmother, and she couldn't help but show a mockery on her face.

She coughed lightly and restrained herself: "Isn't it just pretending to be a good person?" Miss Ben will too. ”

After that, Ran Qiunian raised her chin slightly, restrained her ridicule at Liu Yunyao's encounter, and walked to Liu Yunyao's side in a few steps, as if she had just seen someone, and took a look at Liu Yunyao.

"Isn't this Sister Liu? Why did my grandmother come here early in the morning, isn't she used to living in Ran Mansion? ”

Ran Qiunian looked at Liu Yunyao's patient and unangry look, glanced at the food box behind her again, and suddenly said:

"Sister Liu is going to have a picnic in the house? It's really interesting, then Miss Ben won't bother, Sister Ginkgo, please take me to see my grandmother, my grandmother hasn't tested my homework today. ”

Ran Qiunian said to Liu Yunyao a sister Liu, reminding everyone of Liu Yunyao's identity all the time, and turned her head to another subordinate sister, the tone sounded exactly the same as when she called Liu Yunyao.

Not to mention that Liu Yunyao turned around angrily and left, even the ginkgo who was called her sister by Ran Qiu was a little crying and laughing.

"The slave maid can't be the eldest lady's sister, the old lady has already had breakfast, and she just said that she wants to meet the young lady, and the young lady came just in time."
