Sleeplessness
The banquet on that day did not last long, and Lin Huifu and Mrs. Guo did not get along before, and Mrs. Guo also told Ruan Bozhi early that she was unwell and wanted to leave the banquet earlier.
Ruan Bozhi still remembered the events of the morning, so he asked the attendants around him to find the young ladies and go home together.
Ruan Shengrong and Ruan Yi have been accompanying Mrs. Guo, and seeing that Mrs. Guo's delicate face has many wrinkles due to anger, hideous and terrifying. "This Ruan Ying, she has changed her appearance recently, I used to give her enough things that a concubine should have, but now she is good, she has become a wolf who will take revenge, and wants to tear me up. ”
Ruan Shengrong remembered Lian Can's special attitude towards Ruan Ying, and secretly clenched his fists, "We must teach her a lesson, mother." ”
"In the final analysis, you are superficial, no matter how capable this girl is, she is just a concubine, mother, you are the housewife, and the rest of her life is all in your hands. Ruan Yi looked at Erlang's legs from the side, "Why bother to make a big fuss and reprimand angrily if you don't agree, it's not necessary." ”
Ruan Shengrong's watery eyes were finally full of smiles, "Yes, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a concubine." Still, I'm going to teach her a lesson. ”
Mrs. Guo's beautiful face finally put aside her sorrow, and she said, "It's better for your eldest brother to be smarter." ”
Ruan Yi saw that her mother's face was much softer, so she tested her, "Mother, you should have thought about this Ruan Ying's marriage." ”
When Mrs. Guo saw him mention this stubble, she remembered that Luo Hong swore to her that day that she would marry Ruan Ying. "That vixen has been planned for a long time. ”
"Who?" Ruan Yi's heart crossed with a hint of nervousness.
"The sister-in-law of the Luo family, Luo Hong, the cowardly son of the Sikong family. ”
Mrs. Guo curled the corners of her lips, very disdainful.
Although Luo Hong said that he had a weak temperament, his temperament and officialdom reputation and appearance were all first-class and good, and Ruan Yi thought that Ruan Yi still had such a strong suitor, and he was inexplicably very unhappy.
"With her identity, she can only be a concubine. Ruan Shengrong sneered with her nose, and couldn't help but smile when she thought that she was as arrogant and domineering as she is now, and she would still be a humble concubine like her mother at that time.
Mrs. Guo was so happy when she saw her daughter, and said, "But this Luo Hong insists on marrying her as a wife, but in my opinion, if Mrs. Sikong says she doesn't agree, Luo Hong will not have the courage to be scared." ”
"My mother thought he was a timid person, and even though I had heard about it, I didn't think he was so timid. ”
Mrs. Guo smiled faintly, "It's a story many years ago, Luo Hong was so afraid of climbing the rockery because of a parrot raised by his father that he didn't dare to come down for a day and a night. ”
Ruan Shengrong felt quite funny after hearing it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "If you are really cowardly, you are still a man." ”
On the carriage here, Ruan Ying didn't know that Mrs. Guo was discussing with Ruan Shengrong how to deal with her, she sat stiffly on the collapse, recalling the scene when she left, she couldn't help but feel a little red-faced.
Ruan Qingmiao was a little dazed, and couldn't help but fall on Qing'er's shoulder for a while, and Xiaobei also asked the master if he wanted to take a nap. Ruan Ying shook her head gently, but it was clear in her heart that it was impossible for her and Lian Can, and when she got out of Dongqi in the future, it would be too troublesome.
The wind outside the window was loud, and the small wind chimes hanging by the window were swaying, and she stretched out her hands to hold it, and then said softly, "It's really an untimely rain, it's annoying." ”
When the carriage arrived at Ruan's mansion when the rain stopped, Ruan Ying called out to her in a low voice, but her face was pale and cold.
"Second sister, second sister, you open your eyes first. ”
Ruan Qingmiao woke up in a daze in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ruan Ying's pair of worried eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Ying said to her solemnly, "Sister, what did you eat today, your body is so cold." ”
Ruan Qingmiao gradually regained consciousness, shook her head and said, "The pastries given by the old lady's grandmother in the morning, and Fang Cai also ate a little when he was in the Xia Mansion. ”
Ruan Ying nodded lightly, then turned around and asked Xiaoqing to send her back to rest.
The two walked on the way home, still carrying the morning food box in their hands. "The loss is that the young lady and the second miss only eat the second lady's share. Xiaobei said, and opened it to smell it carefully, "It's a rich taste, it's a horseshoe cake, and a layer of pancakes underneath, which is a little different from the second lady's portion?"
Ruan Ying paused, and then thought about Ruan Qingmiao's banana cake and pancakes. The two of them were not very hungry, so Ruan Ying only ate one piece, and Ruan Qingmiao was greedy, so she ate two or three pieces.
So there are still a lot of her shares left, and she hasn't even moved Ruan Ying.
As soon as Ruan Qingmiao returned to the hospital, she felt that the abdominal pain was uncontrollable. After a trip of diarrhea, my stomach was empty. At this time, Xiaoqing was not in the hall, and she couldn't find anything to cushion her stomach, so she saw the food box on the table, although it was cold, but there were still five or six banana cakes left, and half a box of pancakes, and she didn't care about anything else, so she opened it and devoured it, but she didn't expect the filling of this pie to be her favorite artichoke and ate a few more pieces.
In Mrs. Guo's courtyard, Mama Li was telling Mrs. Guo some words, "Madam, the arrangements have been arranged, and after a while, people will come." ”
"Okay, okay, Ruan Ying, as soon as tonight passes, you don't want to do whatever you want in my eyes anymore. ”
Ruan Shengrong was reading a book leisurely on the side, and when he heard his mother say this, he couldn't help but be happy, "Mother is completely sure?"
Mrs. Guo touched the gemstone ring on her finger, and looked at it in the candlelight, with a shuddering smile on her face, "I'm the lady of this Rong'an Houfu, and this little skill is more than enough for Ruan Qingmiao and Ruan Ying, their uncompetitive mothers, not to mention Ruan Ying, a girl who hasn't grown up." ”
The Houfu at night is very quiet on weekdays, but because of Mrs. Guo and Ruan Shengrong's happiness, even the rare cicadas are screaming.
In the Nguyen Ying courtyard.
Wu Ping jumped in from the window and said with a serious expression, "Miss, I heard that there is a golden monk in the city today, and he is very famous, but he was secretly found into the mansion by the eldest lady a few days ago. ”
Ruan Ying drank tea indifferently, "Also, can you figure out why Chen Ping came to me to steal the private seal?"
Chen Ping's face was embarrassed, "I can't." ”
"Call Jin Ping, who is squatting in the courtyard of the eldest lady. ”
Wu Ping jumped out of the window quickly, and hurriedly instructed Liu Ping, who had nothing to do to pull leaves, to find Jin Ping, and then squatted on the tree to be glad that Ruan Ying didn't pick a thorn today. Seeing that the candles in the room were extinguished, he knew that Ruan Ying was now thinking about what kind of play the eldest lady planned to do.
At this time, Qing'er came to Ruan Ying's courtyard in a panic, Xiaobei saw it, and was about to entertain her warmly, but when she saw Qing'er pounced, she knelt down, and wanted to cry without tears, "Third Miss, save my young lady." ”
