Tong was writing a letter in the study, and a maid came knocking on the door outside: "Madam, Miss Cousin is here." ”

Tong put down the pen, picked up the letter paper and blew it, and then folded it and put it in the envelope when it was dry, and then said, "Let her in." ”

Gu Ruan entered Tong's courtyard, looked left and right, and saw a pot of begonias blooming just right under the corridor, so he said, "Uncle, this flower is really beautiful, if it is placed in my yard, it would be so good." ”

A trace of displeasure flashed in Tong's eyes, this Gu Ruan is really indescribable, obviously she is a girl from the Bofu, a granddaughter from the Guogong Mansion, and a descendant of a big family, although she may not have to be promising, but such a small family is shallow and shallow, which really makes her look down on her.

I don't know, I thought she was a girl from a poor and uneducated family.

In the past, Gu Ruan always relied on herself to be favored, and always asked her to ask for things in such a tone, and she looked at Old Madam Shen in front of her and gave it to her.

But this time, she deliberately pretended not to understand, and only smiled and said: "Yes, I also think it looks good, Miaoxin's child was given by her, she raised it herself, and it took a lot of effort to make this flower bloom in the first month, a piece of filial piety, but it also moved me." ”

Gu Ruan saw that the Tong clan was not as before, as long as she spoke, she would give her things, and her heart was a little unhappy. So he said bluntly: "Uncle, I like this pot of begonia flowers, you can send someone to move it to my yard." ”

She also has her own courtyard in the Dingguo Mansion, which is the residence of her mother Shen Mengjun before her death.

Tong smiled warmly: "This is a piece of her heart sent to honor me, it is a piece of her heart, but it is not good to give it to you." Why did you come to me? ”

Gu Ruan was very unhappy in her heart, in the past, she didn't need to explain what she wanted, but this time she made it clear, but the Tong family refused to give it, so her face was a little unpleasant, and she said in a hard voice: "I came over to ask my aunt, I went to that village aunt's house today, did you see her?" What did she say? ”

Tong Shi said lightly: "I didn't see anyone, it is said that the situation is not very good, and it has been burning." ”

Gu Ruan slipped away early, so he didn't know about Xiao Jingchen taking Lin Ruan away. When she came out of the palace, she quickly came to the Dingguo Mansion, and then waited for the Shen family to help her settle the matter, and she didn't think about letting people go out to inquire about the situation.

Hearing Tong say this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart at the moment. The situation is not very good, it burns all the time? Is it likely that it just burned out? Or burned into a fool?

No matter which of these two situations it is, the village girl is not qualified to compete with her for the position of Princess Xiao.

Hmph, a village girl who has settled down in a broken household dares to think about the throne of Princess Xiao, which makes people laugh off their big teeth!

Tong Shi saw her undisguised proud and happy appearance, and his heart was extremely disgusted.

Gu Ruan got a satisfactory answer, so she was not interested in sitting down anymore, she didn't like this aunt the most, she had a dead face like someone owed her money all day long, and she always liked to lecture her at every turn, asking her not to be too public, she was bored when she listened.

This timid and scared look is really a shame for the given Guogong Mansion! is a small family like the Tong family, who can't be on the stage, and when he becomes a duchess in the future, I am afraid that the entire Dingguo Mansion will be laughed at.

When Gu Ruan left to pass by the pot of begonia flowers, he kicked the pot angrily.

But the small pot did not break or fall down as she expected, but kicked her own foot so painfully that she could not stand it, and finally had to be carried away by the maid.

Tong Shi saw her actions in his eyes and snorted coldly.

This scourge!

Wait, let's see how Prince Xiao will clean her up.

The county lord's mansion.

Lin Ruan was a little tired on the bed, so he asked Lu Calyx to move the piano over.

After studying for a little half a month, she finally memorized these strings clearly, and began to look forward to the effect of her learning after she finished learning, and even couldn't help but fantasize that she could have the momentum of being undefeated in the East.

But at present, her level can't even play a serious tune, sitting in front of the piano for a long time, and finally chose a tune that she thought was good, and played it with ding ding dong.

Listening to the monotonous sound of the piano, the green calyx had a toothache, what is the county lord talking about! It's like playing cotton.

But Lin Ruan was extremely confident, feeling that she played quite well, and after finishing the song, she asked with a smile, "How was the song I just played?" ”

Green Calyx boasted with a clear conscience: "The county lord plays it so well, this song is really chic, and the slaves and maids have never heard it before." ”

Lin Ruan suddenly blossomed: "Not bad, it's quite appreciative, you naturally haven't heard this song." ”

The corners of the green calyx's mouth twitched, and he continued to boast with a clear conscience: "The county lord is really powerful, what is the name of this song?" ”

Lin Ruan grinned: "Little Star." ”

It's the only song she doesn't sing out of tune!

The green calyx is confused, what kind of tune is this?

Lin Ruan saw that she didn't understand, so she said, "Then I'll play it again, and then sing the lyrics too, you will definitely like it." ”

The green calyx's smile suddenly became a little unnatural, but Lin Ruan was temporarily immersed in self-indulgence, and did not notice it, plucked the strings and began to sing: "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars......"

The corners of the green calyx's mouth twitched wildly, what kind of song is this?! No wonder it's so monotonous.

Lin Ruan felt that he could play and sing well, and repeated a children's song several times before he stopped and asked, "What do you think?" Doesn't it sound good? ”

The green calyx and a few little girls all wore professional smirks and patted extremely insincere sycophants: "The county lord is so powerful, this song is really good." ”

This is a very fake words, which greatly satisfied Lin Ruan's vanity, she clapped her hands: "This is nothing, this piece is too difficult, and when the county lord learns this piano art, I will let you see and understand, what is real music, real art!" ”

The corners of the girls' mouths twitched wildly, and there was no sense of expectation at all.

Their county lord is really super powerful in other things, and they dare to say that none of the noble girls in Kyoto can compare to their county lord. But in the matter of playing the piano, their county lord is really a headache.

But what can they do? With such a master with no musical talent, they are so desperate!

Just as Lin Ruan was about to continue to laugh at himself, a little servant came over to pass the word: "I have seen the county lord, the third prince is here, bringing a large cart of gifts, saying that he wants to visit you." In addition, for yesterday's incident, I will compensate you for it, and I will help you find justice. ”

Lin Ruan suddenly lost interest in playing the piano, and said through the door: "Tell him, I'm not feeling well, and it's inconvenient to see guests." He will not bother with the matter of seeking justice. ”
