Chapter 224: Entering the Palace for a Banquet
An Ran put the Xuanhu Order in front of An Jin, An Jin picked up the Xuanhu Order, raised his eyes and looked at An Ran, he didn't speak, but waited for An Ran to speak.
"Father, Ah Ran probably knows what his father wants to say, this time when I come back, if I want to participate in the selection of the young master, then this Xuanhu order will be returned to my father first, so as not to let people say that my father is favoritism, and the young master of the An family has already made up his mind. ”
An Jin bowed slightly, "It seems that Ah Ran's heart understands." ”
"After all these things, if I still can't understand, then I am ashamed of my father and mother. An Ran smiled lightly.
Seeing that Ah Ran is now more mature, it is very comforting for my father. An Jin sighed.
"Father rest assured, Ah Ran knows what to do. ”
An Jin nodded, thinking of something, he frowned slightly and looked at An Ran, but he couldn't help but remind, "Ah Ran, this time I came back, although you returned to Dasheng as an envoy of Northern Chu, but you have to know that in Fengdu, how many people are jealous of you, you still have to be more careful in everything." ”
"Father rest assured, Ah Ran knows. An Ran knew An Jin's concerns, but since she had returned, she must have been prepared and mentally prepared to deal with it.
"After tonight's dinner, you will have a good rest for two days, and three days later it will be an auspicious day, and your mother and I have arranged that in the morning of three days, the ceremony of your re-entry into the An family tree will be held. In addition, because of so many things that happened that day, your Jiyi ceremony was not completed, so we will do it together at that time.
Take the time to go to the Chu family tomorrow to see your master, and his kindness to you will be remembered in your heart for the rest of your life. By the way, tell him that when the time comes, please ask him to wear a hairpin for you when you and Yi. ”
In Dasheng, all the girls of Jiyi should ask an elder with status to wear hairpins for them during the ceremony, which is a unique custom of Dasheng.
"Father, don't worry, Ah Ran knows that tomorrow after breakfast, I will go over, and I will stay in Chu Mansion for lunch to use with Master. "An Ran originally planned to visit Chu Kang tomorrow.
"Very well, tomorrow your brother will not go with you, I have something to talk to him. An Jin said.
An Ran nodded, "Father, there is another matter, Ah Ran feels that he still needs to tell you first." ”
"What's the matter, tell me. ”
"Ah Ran came back this time, originally Ye Lang was going to accompany him, but he couldn't go away from the court, and after a while, he would come to Dasheng, and ask his father to be more tolerant at that time. "Although Nan Lingye's matter was acquiesced by his father, An Ran knew that in his father's heart, he still didn't like Nan Lingye very much.
However, she and Nan Lingye are destined to be together in this life, and she also hopes to be blessed by her father and mother.
An Jin was silent for a long time before he spoke: "When he comes, if he wants, let him live in An's house." ”
Hearing this, the corners of An Ran's mouth raised slightly, she knew that her father had accepted him.
"Thank you, father. ”
"Okay, it's not too early, you go back to Qinhuang Courtyard to rest for a while, and I will have someone call you in the evening, and we will enter the palace together." An Jin looked at An Ran.
An Ran nodded, then got up, and after saluting An Jin, he left the Laiyin Pavilion.
Shangguan Jing was already resting in Orchid Garden, and An Ran didn't bother him, but took Qiu Xin back to Qinhuang Courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I saw Aunt Yun and Ping'er already waiting at the door, as soon as I saw her, the two of them knew each other, and their faces were excited and joyful that could not be hidden.
Ping'er is the maid assigned to her by her mother since Xing'er left, she is smart and sensitive, and most importantly, she is very loyal.
"The slave maid has seen the eldest lady and welcomes the eldest lady back home. ”
"Get up. An Ran said lightly.
A familiar place, a familiar courtyard, standing here, the past came to mind one by one, looking at Aunt Yun and Xing'er, An Ran smiled slightly, "It's been a long time." ”
Aunt Yun and Ping'er couldn't help but redden, and Aunt Yun wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "Miss, it's good that you're finally back." ”
"Yes, we look forward to you every day. Ping'er on the side said.
"Okay, I'm back, don't be sad, let's go in and talk about it. An Ran said.
Entering Qifeng Tower, everything here has not changed, whether it is the yard or her house, it is exactly the same as when she left a year ago, all the furnishings have not changed, even the potted plant he planted at the beginning is still in its original position, but the branches and leaves are more luxuriant.
"Everything is still the same here. An Ran sat at the table in the bedroom and looked around.
"Yes, since the young lady left that day, the housewife has instructed us to have the eldest sister-in-law Qinhuang Courtyard every day, and we must not move all the furnishings in the courtyard, and every grass and tree must be the same as when the eldest lady left. Ping'er poured a cup of tea for An Ran as she spoke.
It turned out to be her mother, An Ran's heart was very grateful, her mother never said what she had done for her, but she always supported her silently behind her and treated her well.
"Miss, in the more than a year since you left, the head of the family and the housewife miss you very much, especially the housewife, who will come to Qinhuang Courtyard to sit almost every day, and sometimes, one sitting is all day. She sits in your room, without anyone disturbing or talking, just quietly. Aunt Yun brought An Ran's favorite dim sum.
"These snacks were also made by the master's mother early this morning, saying that the eldest lady will be home soon, and she will make them first, and you can eat them when you come back. ”
An Ran listened to what Aunt Yun said, and then looked at the snacks on the table, for some reason, her nose felt a little sour, and her eyes were a little hot.
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, the faint fragrance, the faint sweetness, and the melt-in-the-mouth taste that only her mother's skillful hands could make.
After taking a sip of tea, An Ran put down the cup and said, "You all go out first, I want to take a break." ”
After everyone went down, An Ran got up and walked to the soft collapse and lay down, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, he slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the evening, An Jin sent someone to summon An Ran and prepare to enter the palace.
After An Ran simply got acquainted with it, he changed into a pink and white dress, which was elegant and refined, with a little powder, and captivated the country and the city.
Coming out of Qinhuang Courtyard, the maidservant who reported said that An Jin and Shangguan Jing were already waiting at the door, and An Ran went directly accompanied by Qiu Xin.
When they arrived at the door, sure enough, Shangguan Jing and An Jin were already waiting, "Father, brother." Ah Ran is late, so you have to wait for a long time. ”
"We've just arrived, too. An replied.
Ah Ran rested for a while, and his complexion looked better. Shangguan Jing looked at her and said,
An Ran smiled slightly, "Let's get in the car." ”
