Chapter 256: Picture Scroll
Although Ruan Qingqing has passed away, Ruan Chuxiao's heart is stunned, but now that Ruan Qingqing's daughter has been found, it is also an excellent thing. Ruan Chuxiao saw that Fang Hanniang's behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, even if she encountered such a big thing, she quickly calmed down, and secretly praised it in her heart.
He arched his fist at Fang Hanniang: "Didn't Miss Fang's mother talk about family affairs before she was alive?" ”
Fang Hanniang was slightly silent.
After all, she is a person who has traveled over to borrow a corpse to resurrect her soul, and when she woke up from this body, Ruan Qingqing, the mother of this body, had already died for many years. However, from the fragmentary memories of the original owner, I learned that Ruan Qingqing had amnesia, and only remembered that his name was Ruan Qingqing, and there were some jade toys around him that were not very valuable, and there was no part about his life experience.
Fang Hanniang shook her head and said to Ruan Chuxiao: "My mother had amnesia before her death, and she only remembered that her name was Ruan Qingqing, and she couldn't remember anything else. ”
Ruan Chuxiao felt a burst of disappointment in her heart.
He paused, thought of a way again, and looked at Fang Hanniang a little nervously: "By the way, in my father's study, there is a scroll of portraits drawn by the court painter of the little aunt who went missing, and because my father cherishes him very much, I can't bring it out." I don't know if Miss Fang can be convenient, so let's go down and take a look to see if the person in the painting is Miss Fang's biological mother? ”
Hearing that she was going to the other party's mansion, Fang Hanniang was even more vigilant.
Even if this person was the family of her hard-working mother, who had died a long time ago, she didn't dare to fully trust the other party.
Ruan Chuxiao saw Fang Hanniang guarding him like this, but he didn't get angry in his heart, but felt that this was the reaction that any girl should have when facing a stranger's invitation, he paused, and said a little apologetically: "It's abrupt, if Miss Fang has relatives, you can also go together." ”
"I'll accompany Miss Fang." A voice came into his ears, and at the same time, Qing He jumped in directly from the window and arched his hand towards Fang Hanniang.
Ruan Chuxiao's face was a little blue, even if Qing He had just helped him a lot last night, he didn't have a good face for Qing He.
This person broke into his cousin's boudoir directly!
Lecher!
Fang Hanniang glanced at Qing He, thought about it, and said slowly: "Since Qing He said this, I think Ruan Gongzi is a reliable person. Then Qinghe doesn't have to accompany me over. ”
Before she sorted it out, Fang Hanniang didn't really want to have anything to do with the palace now.
Ruan Chuxiao heard Fang Hanniang say this, her face was a little better, she had a cold face, and looked at Qinghe seriously: "Since Miss Fang said this, Lord Qinghe, please take care of yourself." ”
Qing He was stunned and smiled bitterly.
Jasmine whispered with some concern: "Miss......"
Fang Hanniang turned around and gave a soothing smile: "Jasmine, you better rest at home, I'll go take a look at that painting and come back soon." ”
Probably because she doesn't have much sense of identity with the original owner's mother, she doesn't have any special feelings for the relatives of the original owner's mother.
In Fang Hanniang's heart, even if she is not a relative, it seems that she has nothing to do with her.
Ruan Chuxiao naturally understood Fang Hanniang's voice, and his expression darkened.
Qing He's face was not very good-looking, and he watched Fang Hanniang follow Ruan Chuxiao out of the inn and get into the carriage.
Jasmine was a little undecided, and looked at Qing He as if asking for help: "Lord Qing He, what can I do about this?" ”
Qing He smiled bitterly: "Just rest assured, your eldest lady should be fine." ”
Jasmine has always believed in Qinghe, and when she heard Qinghe say this, she also let go of her heart.
Fang Hanniang sat in the carriage, her face was a little not good.
Ruan Chuxiao thought that Fang Hanniang was in a bad mood, and she didn't know how to persuade her.
In the middle of the night, Fang Hanniang made a gesture and signaled to stop, Ruan Chuxiao hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car, and saw Fang Hanniang jumping off the car with vigorous skills, squatting on the side of the road and vomiting.
Ruan Chuxiao's expression was a little tense...... It turned out to be motion sickness, and he thought it was ......
Fang Hanniang finally felt better after vomiting, seeing Ruan Chuxiao standing stiffly aside, thinking that her ugliness was likely to be seen by this cousin, she was a little embarrassed: "I get motion sickness......"
Because it is still early now, a few days ago because of the matter of the Gu shopkeeper, it is said that Daddy Peng is also running around thinking of a way, going out early and returning late, and the rest is not very good.
Ruan Chuxiao nodded stiffly.
He has always ridden horses, but today he wanted to take Fang Hanniang back to his house to let his grandmother see and be happy, so he took the carriage over.
He apologized, "I didn't think it through." ”
Fang Hanniang wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said with a smile: "My motion sickness is my problem, and it has nothing to do with Ruan Gongzi." ”
Ruan Chuxiao saw Fang Hanniang's posture so down-to-earth and generous, as if Fang Cai's vomiting was an illusion, and for the first time, he felt that this cousin was a little interesting.
Fang Hanniang got into the carriage again, but it didn't take long for her face to turn pale again.
Ruan Chuxiao looked at her worriedly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive at the Pingguo Mansion, Fang Hanniang got out of the car, and it took a long time to finally ease the momentum. It's just that as soon as she looked up, she saw a huge plaque "Pingguo Mansion" hanging on the extremely magnificent vermilion lacquer gate not far away, and she was slightly stunned.
Only then did she realize that Ruan Chuxiao had never said anything about his family's background.
Probably worried that she would climb to power, not tell the truth, and pretend to be a relative?
Fang Hanniang smiled slowly, but there was a little bit of sarcasm in that smile.
As soon as Ruan Chuxiao raised his head, he happened to see Fang Hanniang's smile, he was a soldier, his mind was not so delicate, seeing Fang Hanniang smiling like this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't think about it for a while.
He unconsciously looked at Fang Hanniang's expression a little serious.
Fang Hanniang chuckled and said, "Hanniang doesn't know, it turns out to be the son of the Pingguo family." No wonder Qinghe is very relieved of Ruan Gongzi. ”
It's just that smile is full of alienation.
Ruan Chuxiao suddenly realized, it turned out that this little cousin was blaming him for not telling his identity, misunderstanding?
Ruan Chuxiao hurriedly explained: "Miss Fang, don't misunderstand, I just don't know what to say for a while...... is also worried that Miss Fang will misunderstand and use power to oppress people. ”
Fang Hanniang smiled and didn't speak again, just raised her hand slightly: "Trouble Ruan Gongzi to lead the way." Han Niang still has something to do today. ”
Ruan Chuxiao's heart was so aggrieved.
He had no choice but to stop saying a word, walk in front of Fang Hanniang, and be the leader.
When the porter saw that the third young master was back, Fang saluted, and saw a girl with an extremely bright appearance behind the third young master, so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
The porter just wanted to say something, but saw the third young master of his family glance sideways, and the porter immediately stopped his mouth, stayed there honestly, and didn't dare to say a word.
Pingguogong's study is in the outer courtyard of Pingguogong's mansion, and usually female dependents will not come.
Today, Ruan Chuxiao led Fang Hanniang straight to the study, but it made a group of subordinates grow their mouths in shock.
You must know that the third young master of their family has always hung his heart in the barracks, and even said that he rarely goes home. It's good today, not only did I come back, but I also went straight to the outer courtyard with such a beautiful little girl, what is this going to do?
The gossip of the subordinates was almost written on their faces, but because of the rules, they didn't dare to talk about the master behind their backs, so they could only work hard to communicate with each other with their eyes.
Even so, Ruan Chuxiao made the eyes of those subordinates uncomfortable.
He turned around and saw Fang Hanniang following behind him with a calm face, when he stopped, she raised her eyes in slight surprise, and asked in a flat tone: "Young Master Ruan, what's wrong?" ”
Ruan Chuxiao choked for a moment, he didn't know what to say, did he want to ask, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable when those people looked at you like this?
He had to cough and said solemnly, "There is my father's study in front of me." At this time, my father has just gone to the yamen to discuss matters, and he should not be in the study, so you can just go in directly with me. ”
Fang Hanniang nodded and didn't say anything else.
Ruan Chuxiao was a little uncomfortable in her heart.
When he was four or five years old, his memory is not very clear, but he can still vaguely remember that there was a girl who liked to wear a bright yellow shirt with gentle eyebrows and eyes who often took him to flutter butterflies in the garden, and sometimes he fell, and the girl's laughter was very crisp: "Brother Xiao is so stupid." ”
He missed a little for a moment, the girl's laughter that was not very clear in his memory.
Ruan Chuxiao didn't say anything in the end, he silently led Fang Hanniang to his father's study.
Sure enough, there was no one else in the study except for the two little guys who served the pen and ink in the study all the year round.
When the little guy saw the third young master coming, he was also slightly surprised.
Ruan Chuxiao didn't care about anything else, but carefully removed the brocade box from the upper floor of the Duobao Pavilion, which was filled with countless antique treasures, opened it carefully, and took out an extremely careful picture scroll from it.
Slowly untying the ribbon of the scroll, Ruan Chuxiao gently unfolded the scroll on the bookcase.
It was a young girl, boating on a lotus pond.
The girl was dressed in a tender yellow dress, sitting in a small boat, in a large field of blooming hibiscus, her hands bowed to the water, and the corners of her mouth were gentle smiles.
Fang Hanniang looked at the girl on the painting for a long time and did not speak.
I don't know if the memory that belonged to the original owner was touched, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Fang Hanniang wiped her face with the back of her hand and said in a low voice, "Put it away." ”
Ruan Chuxiao glanced at Fang Hanniang carefully, and when she saw the girl's tearful appearance, her heart shook slightly.
Fang Hanniang didn't speak.
Ruan Chuxiao also felt that she didn't need to ask anymore.
The study was full of silence, and Ruan Chuxiao carefully put away the scroll in this silence.
He whispered, "When my little aunt was abducted, I was still young. Only a few memories. I remember that the whole year was very sad and bleak at home, and my grandmother, who had always been kind and smiling, cried every day, and almost went blind from crying. My grandfather even led the family to search for it, but they never found anything......"
