Lin Ruan listened to his confident words, and his heart was really moved.

But she couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay to do this?" If there is a disturbance over there in the Guogong Mansion, will it be difficult for the emperor to do it there? ”

Xiao Jingchen stroked her hair: "These things are not something you need to worry about, or this matter is out of trouble, and it is his Dingguo Mansion that is ignored." As for the emperor, I'm afraid I'm very happy to see it. ”

Lin Ruan knew in her heart, and sure enough, the situation of the Dingguo Mansion was similar to what she thought.

So Lin Ruan said, "Then you can do it." ”

......

The next day, Dingguo Mansion.

Gu Ruan, who thought that the matter had been resolved as smoothly as before, decided to return to the Zhongxiao Mansion.

After all, the Dingguo Mansion is not her own home, which always makes her feel less comfortable.

Especially this time, I don't know if it's her delusion, the maid in the house doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic and attentive to her as before. Although they were asked to do something, they did it, but it just didn't feel right.

She thought about it, and it was her aunt who couldn't get on the stage who was making trouble behind her, instructing these maids to deliberately treat her slowly. After all, Tong Miaoxin fell into the water, and her eldest aunt has always been partial to Tong Miaoxin, and it is certain that she is dissatisfied with her.

was afraid that the Tong family would take the opportunity to poison her and vent her anger for Tong Miaoxin, so Gu Ruan immediately decided not to stay longer.

Anyway, the matter has been settled, and there is no point in staying here, and I have to accompany Mrs. Shen every day. Old Madam Shen has been sick for a long time, and the smell of medicine in the room makes her brain hurt.

Before leaving, she went to Mrs. Shen to say goodbye, but Mrs. Shen was very reluctant to let her stay for a few more days.

Gu Ruan, who wanted to leave, sold it for a while, and then coaxed the old lady to agree with her with a smile.

She took the opportunity to ask for a lot of rare things from Old Madam Shen, plus a few hundred taels of silver, and then she was satisfied with her maid ring and went back to the house.

Coming out of the Dingguo Mansion, Gu Ruan did not rush home, but asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the outer city.

She's going to get some clothes, and when there's another party, she'll be able to put on new clothes and jewelry to be in the limelight.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and the streets are already being decorated for the lantern festival at night.

Gu Ruan went to the most famous clothing shop in Kyoto, ordered a very gorgeous dress, spent nearly a hundred taels of silver, went to the silver building to order a set of head noodles, and then went to the most famous restaurant in the outer city, ready to order a seat, wait directly until it was dark to visit the lantern festival, and finally go back to the house.

Why is the restaurant the most famous in the past? Because since he took root in Kyoto, he has become the most famous.

Gu Ruan took the silver she asked for from Old Madam Shen and squandered it very happily, and when the lantern festival began, she took the maid ring down the restaurant and got into the crowd.

The county lord's mansion.

Lin Ruan wrapped himself like a zongzi, covering his whole body so that only two eyes were left outside, and he waved excitedly to the green calyx: "Let's go, don't delay." ”

The green calyx and the flying flicker cautiously glanced at Xiao Jingchen, whose face was as black as charcoal, and followed behind Lin Ruan with his neck bent.

In fact, like Xiao Jingchen, they didn't approve of Lin Ruan going out to visit the Lantern Festival, but they couldn't help it, after all, even Xiao Jingchen himself compromised.

Therefore, these little girls are even more useless.

Xiao Jingchen looked at the back that was rare and cheerful like that, sighed helplessly, chased after her fate, and took her slightly cool hand out of the gate of the county lord's mansion.

Kyoto's Lantern Festival is a huge lantern festival that occupies the entire inner city and half of the outer city, and the lanterns are dizzying, ranging from the size of a two-story building to the size of a palm.

These lanterns are prepared by the palace, prepared by various big families, as well as by various merchants and some non-governmental organizations, as well as some ordinary people, and these lanterns come together to illuminate most of Kyoto.

Lin Ruan was holding a lotus lantern in his hand, and curiously followed Xiao Jingchen through the crowd, feeling that his eyes were almost enough.

After walking a short distance, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of a restaurant.

Lin Ruan curiously pulled Xiao Jingchen over and found that there was a lantern riddle guessing, and the biggest prize was to send a table of noodles.

Suddenly, Lin Ruan looked at Xiao Jingchen with bright eyes: "I heard Liang Twelve say before, you have done a good job in learning?" ”

As soon as Xiao Jingchen heard her words, he knew what she meant, and said helplessly: "This restaurant is an industry under my name, what you want to eat, I will let people cook it for you." ”

Lin Ruan wrinkled his nose and shook his head: "That's so boring, I just want to see you show your skills, and you can get rid of the order with your ability." ”

Xiao Jingchen had no choice but to pull her into the crowd, and when the shopkeeper saw Xiao Jingchen, he subconsciously wanted to salute. Xiao Jingchen waved his hand: "Find out the most difficult lamp." ”

As soon as those who watched the excitement heard this, they immediately turned their heads to look at him, and some people who knew Xiao Jingchen all bowed to him, which was regarded as a salute.

Xiao Jingchen was very cold, and he didn't even give others a look.

Those people didn't care at all, but looked at Lin Ruan who was held in Xiao Jingchen's hand very curiously.

The events in the Imperial Garden two days ago had already spread through the noble ladies present throughout Kyoto, and everyone had only one reaction, that is, their jaws dropped.

There are always a few unsolved mysteries in their circle, and when Xiao Jingchen will get married and what kind of woman he will marry, are the two most popular among them.

They all thought that with Xiao Jingchen's heavenly posture and noble identity, he could be worthy of him, except for the princess, but they were afraid that there were only a few girls in the big families. But to everyone's surprise, he came together with the county lord of the countryside.

It's really hard to figure out.

Because Lin Ruan had only shown his face once at the palace banquet, except for those noble ladies and daughters, others didn't know what Lin Ruan looked like, so they wanted to see what it was like at this time.

Xiao Jingchen noticed the scrutiny of those people, so he glanced at them coldly.

Suddenly, those people felt a chill behind their backs and quickly took their eyes away.

Lin Ruan saw his movements clearly, and couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh. I didn't expect him to have this vinegar side, but she was wrapped up so that only two eyes were left outside, what could those people see?

But she was very happy in her heart, and couldn't help but bend her fingers and scratch his palm, and then, she discovered a terrible secret.

Xiao Jingchen is afraid of itching!

She just scratched his palm twice, and he itched so much that he had goosebumps on his neck.

It's so much fun, too!

Lin Ruan was playful for a while, and bent his fingers and scratched his palm a few times.

Xiao Jingchen was so itchy that he couldn't stand it, so he had to hold her hand tightly, bow his head and say to her, "Be good, don't make trouble." ”
