Chapter 84: Stay
"Big brother, are you really angry?"
Ran Qiunian cautiously looked at Xiao Yin's expression, seeing that he had not spoken, and the expression on his face did not know whether he was happy or angry, and there was a little drumming in his heart. It's already here, and the big brother won't still think about sending himself back, right?
She closed the door, pulled Xiao Yin to the table and sat down, and politely poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Big brother, you have something to say, Nian'er really knows that she is wrong this time." ”
Xiao Yin didn't speak, and Ran Qiunian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Just when Ran Qiunian thought that he was really angry with himself this time and would definitely send him back to the capital, Xiao Yin finally spoke.
Although he was angry at Ran Qiunian's self-assertion, perhaps it was Ran Qiunian's "avoidance" during the day that made Xiao Yin feel the pain of parting in advance, and the moment he saw Ran Qiunian appear here, it was undeniable that he was a little happy in his heart.
"Have you arranged everything in the capital?"
Seeing that Xiu Gu didn't follow Ran Qiu Nian, Xiao Yin already had a number, but he didn't know what method Ran Qiu Nian used to persuade Xiu Gu to stay alone.
Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, and then, she couldn't help but cast a tentative look at Xiao Yin, listening to what he meant just now, did she acquiesce to her following?
"Early tomorrow morning, you take my carriage, and I will talk to him at the little grandfather's place."
Xiao Yin's last sentence made Ran Qiunian unable to suppress the surprise on his face, and he also had a relaxed smile on his face.
"As long as you don't send Nian'er back, listen to the big brother. It's not early, so let's go back early and rest, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning. ”
After saying this, Ran Qiunian felt sleepy, and he was in a good mood and planned to go to bed. But seeing Xiao Yin looking at the guard clothes on her body, she frowned: "You just sleep in this?" ”
Ran Qiunian was stunned for a moment, looked down at the coat that was already a little wrinkled, and then she remembered that she had sneaked in, and she had no luggage on her body except for the clothes of the guard, let alone a change of clothes.
Xiao Yin didn't know her identity before, but now that she has said it, Ran Qiunian is no longer willing to be wronged and continue to wear the clothes on her body.
"Big brother, you also know, Nian'er came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, and I still managed to find this dress."
Ran Qiu looked at Xiao Yin with a blank look, obviously wanting to ask Xiao Yin to help her solve the current problem.
"Since you came out mixed among the guards, it is not convenient to recover your daughter on the road, so you have stayed in the convoy as Ran Lei for the past few days. At this time, there are no ready-to-wear shops open outside, so if you want to buy now, you can only wait for tomorrow. ”
When Xiao Yin said this, he paused, he didn't want Ran Qiunian to wear other guards' clothes, but he couldn't do it without a change of clothes, and when he hesitated, Ran Qiunian had already thought of a way for him.
"Then Nian'er will use the clothes in the big brother's box to deal with it tonight."
Ran Qiunian clapped her hands and made this decision for Xiao Yin, and before Xiao Yin felt that it was inappropriate to refute it, she happily folded her fingers and counted carefully:
"I remember that my aunt asked her to prepare a lot of newly made robes for my eldest brother, and there was a blue embroidered plum pattern that was the most comfortable, although it was older for Nian'er, but it was enough for only one night."
After speaking, seeing Xiao Yin's hesitant look, Ran Qiu Nian frowned, and asked hesitantly, "Big brother won't be reluctant, right?" ”
"Oops!" Ran Qiunian covered her head and looked at Xiao Yin accusingly, she was just joking, isn't it, why are you still in a hurry?
"Nonsense, you wait first, I'll go get you a change of clothes."
Xiao Yin was disturbed by Ran Qiunian's gags, looking at this girl who looked heartless, it seemed redundant for him to think so much there.
"It's strange, just take a piece of clothing, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ran Qiunian rubbed the door of his head, looked at the door that opened and closed, and muttered to himself in front of the empty room.
Early the next morning, Ran Qiunian was woken up by a knock on the door, she sat up with sleepy eyes, and was about to call someone to come and wash up, when the unfamiliar environment around her woke her up and realized that she was now in the inn.
"Who?"
It was still early, and the time for the convoy to set off had not yet arrived, Ran Qiunian didn't know who was looking for him, so he could only ask vigilantly in a rough voice.
"It's me, I'm sending you something. Up? ”
Xiao Yin's voice sounded from behind the door, Ran Qiunian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sat up from the bed, pulled away the overly wide blue cotton shirt on his body, and opened the door.
"Why did Big Brother get up so early? Come on in......"
Without waiting for Ran Qiunian to ask Xiao Yin what he was here to give him, a cotton cloth package was stuffed into Ran Qiunian's arms, and the next moment, Ran Qiunian, who had already leaned out most of his body outside, was pushed back to the room by Xiao Yin.
"Change your clothes before you come out, and I'll take you to breakfast."
After Xiao Yin finished speaking, he closed the door from the outside and turned around to stand at the door. Fortunately, there were not many people walking around the inn at this time, otherwise Ran Qiunian would have been seen wearing long hair and messy clothes just now, and her identity as a girl would not have been hidden.
This girl is no longer a child, why doesn't she know how to pay attention to male and female defense in front of herself? Xiao Yin couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of the confused way Ran Qiunian didn't shy away from letting himself into the house just now.
Before Ran Qiunian could react to the package, the door was closed in front of her, and she opened the package in a daze, only to see that it was a new set of clothes inside.
Although the blue material is not as expensive as what she usually wears, it is also soft to the touch, and it is a rare good cloth. Ran Qiunian changed into clothes and looked at it, although it was a little bigger, it was not in the way, and it was close and comfortable.
It was a surprise to her that she could buy such ready-to-wear in this small town.
Especially when he found that there were still a few plum blossom dark patterns on the foot of the robe, thinking that he and Xiao Yin had inadvertently praised the plum blossom pattern on the blue robe last night, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but smile secretly for Xiao Yin's carefulness.
She put away the blue clothes she had changed into properly, put them in the empty package and tied them, although Xiao Yin's clothes didn't fit well, but she liked the plum blossom ornaments on it.
Thinking that Xiao Yin would definitely not ask for it again after she wore it once, Ran Qiunian made up her mind to go back and twist the plum blossom ornament and keep it herself. As for the guard clothes that she threw into the corner the night before, Ran Qiunian didn't even look at it.
The door was opened, Xiao Yin turned to look, and saw that Ran Qiunian had already changed into the robe he had bought early in the morning.
Noticing the slightly long hem of the clothes, Xiao Yin was a little dissatisfied: "I have asked the shopkeeper to bring the smallest set, which is still a little bigger." ”
"I think it's just right, I believe that even if you change a hundred people, no one can see better than the big brother."
Ran Qiunian walked to Xiao Yin's side with a smile: "The ready-to-wear clothes sold in the shop must not be compared with the embroidery girls in the house, but the material of this clothes is comfortable, you see, there is also Nian'er's favorite plum blossom dark pattern, the big brother has a heart." ”
Seeing Ran Qiunian say this, Xiao Yin let go of her brows, looked at the package she was carrying in her hand, and stretched out her hand: "What are you doing with this, let someone take it to the carriage first, and I'll ask someone to serve you breakfast." ”
Xiao Yin naturally took the dress from Ran Qiunian's hand, Ran Qiunian nodded and let go, but he didn't notice a trace of blush at the root of Xiao Yin's ear.
The two simply had breakfast, Ran Qiunian was called into the carriage by Xiao Yin, and I don't know how Xiao Yin told Qi Ruoyun, she didn't see Qi Ruoyun all morning, but Ran Qiunian was also happy to be idle, and there was no need to deal with him.
The furnishings in Xiao Yin's carriage are very simple, he is not a person who is lazy, but there are soft cushions and thin blankets abruptly placed in the carriage, and Ran Qiunian nests comfortably in the soft cushions, there is no doubt that these things are prepared by Xiao Yin for himself early in the morning.
The carriage moved forward slowly, over the hills, through the villages and towns, and on the way it took in Xiugu, who had caught up, and arrived outside the splendid city in a few days.
Ran Qiunian lifted the curtain and looked forward through the shoulders of Xiu Gu who was driving the car.
Not far away is the gate of Splendid City, although this time it has only been away for a few months, but Ran Qiunian has already returned to his heart like an arrow.
"Brother Xiao, let's leave it for the time being, and after you finish worshipping your ancestors, we will talk about the investigation of the case. I'll take someone to the inn first and settle down. ”
After entering the city, Qi Ruoyun was inconvenient to participate in the next ancestor worship ceremony, so he did not stay in Ran Mansion temporarily like the last time.
"Nian, Xiao Lei, then don't leave it at that."
Qi Ruoyun said goodbye to Ran Qiunian in the carriage behind Xiao Yin.
Ran Qiunian had already lowered the curtain after entering the city, and Qi Ruoyun's words were just not heard and did not respond.
Although she has been following in the team as Ran Lei's boy these days, in fact, both Qi Ruoyun and Xiao Yin know her true identity.
In front of the public, Ran Qiunian was "worried" about revealing his identity and didn't dare to reply, that was an extremely normal thing, and Qi Ruoyun didn't care.
The carriage drove away from the city gate and stopped in front of the Ran Mansion, Xiao Yin dismounted and took Ran Qiunian down from the carriage, and the two walked towards the Ran Mansion together.
"It's strange, didn't I write a letter to inform my grandmother in advance that my eldest brother won the championship and wanted to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors? Why is the house so deserted? ”
Ran Qiunian was like an arrow, and when he got out of the carriage, he couldn't help but take a step ahead, ran into the door of the mansion in small steps, and stood still at the foot of the steps, but found that there was no one around to greet him, and there was no trace of any lights.
"Let's go in first."
Xiao Yin walked up from behind, and did not solve the doubts raised by Ran Qiunian, he was not the bloodline of the Ran family in the first place, he said that he was worshipping his ancestors, but in fact, the only person he needed to bow to was his adoptive father, Ran Qiunian's uncle, and he was alone.
Ran Qiunian didn't feel that he was thinking too much, even if he didn't put up the lights in the mansion with great fanfare, but this cold and lonely was too abnormal.
At the very least, with Qiubai's brother's lively temperament and his friendship with his big brother, how can he say that he should come to greet him, right?
"Could it be that the letter was not delivered?"
