Zhong Jiuchou listened carefully to the old things of the Ran family that Su Lun had inquired about, and thought of Ran Shaotang's daily life, and some things gradually had answers in his heart.

No wonder she said that she would be lonely all her life in this life, and her status was indeed not suitable for marrying a wife and having children.

"Send a secret guard to Ran's Mansion to keep an eye on it, and if anyone is unfavorable to Ran Gongzi, deal with it immediately. Feel free to report it. ”

Su Lun got the order and went down to set it up.

Zhong Jiuchou picked up the list of school-age women in Kyoto on the table and pondered.

Let's say that Ran Shaotang rode a horse in the direction of Ran's mansion, with a lot of pills prepared by Liu Yiyi in his baggage, sitting on horseback, and the bottles and cans made a sound of pounding under the bumps.

She pressed her burden back, and suddenly a carriage ran rampant down the other street and crashed into her horse.

Ran Shaotang hurriedly grabbed the reins and avoided a dangerous collision at the last moment.

She was about to lose her temper when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the delicate face of a young girl.

"Blind? The walkway does not look at the road. It's really looking for death. The voice was unreasonable and arrogant.

After Ran Shaotang saw that face clearly, her body immediately straightened, her horse's head turned around, and went straight to the direction where the girl's carriage left.

"It's Ran Shaoxuan's maidservant Rushuang." I didn't deal with it much in my previous life.

The moment Rushuang lifted the curtain, she saw a face that resembled herself.

She was sure that Ran Shaoxuan was sitting in the carriage.

Her personality hasn't changed at all.

Still so arrogant.

Ran Shaotang thought about it and didn't go home, but followed Ran Shaoxuan's carriage out of the city.

She didn't dare to follow too closely, far away, if she was away.

She didn't understand that the weather was getting late, and where was she, a county lord, going in a hurry?

When the carriage came to a village outside the court, the coachman went down and knocked on the door and looked around.

Ran Shaotang had already hidden the horse and hid behind a big tree.

After a while, someone from the village came to open the door, and the man was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly.

Looking at the figure, it was a man.

He walked to the carriage and said something, and Ran Shaoxuan's maid opened the curtain first and stepped on the horse and walked out. He went back to help Ran Shaoxuan.

Ran Shaoxuan was already wearing a thick cloak at this time, with a hood covering her face, and with Ruoshuang's support, she walked into Zhuangzi.

The carriage also drove away from the place.

After a while, Ran Shaotang came out from behind the big tree and stared at Zhuangzi for a long time before getting on the horse and leaving.

If it weren't for the loss of her internal strength, she would have to go in and find out.

However, at this moment, she can only write down the location of Zhuangzi and the appearance of the coachman, and make plans in the future.

By the time she returned to the city, it had already darkened.

She secretly wanted to climb over the wall and go straight to her mother's yard, but there was a tingling pain in her body.

In desperation, she had no choice but to go to the corner gate.

On weekdays, the corner door is all in and out, and she occasionally gets naughty and comes back late outside, and she doesn't want to be bumped into by her father, so she will also go through this corner door.

I didn't want too many people to know about her return, I just wanted to persuade my father and mother, and after preventing the two families from getting married, she returned to Jingshan.

There was no one at the corner gate, but it was locked from the inside. On weekdays, people have keys to get in and out.

At this time, the night is dark, and it is also necessary to have a waist card to enter the main courtyard from here.

She was so confused that she had forgotten.

Unable to do so, she turned back to the courtyard wall near her mother's yard.

The courtyard wall of the Ran family is towering, if the courtyard wall is usually high, it can't stop her, but today it made her difficult.

She exercised several times, but her internal strength could not be condensed.

Just when she was at a loss, someone behind her suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.

Ran Shaotang was shocked, and he was about to punch the other party when he returned his hand, but the fist was firmly grasped by the other party into his palm.

"Shaotang, it's me."

"Uncle Junior? What are you doing here? ”

Ran Shaotang looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Zhong Jiuchou looked like he was strategizing, and he bounced a shudder on her forehead, pretending to murder her: "What's the matter, I told you that you can't use the exercises many times, and the exercises hurt the meridians, why don't you listen?" If you toss like this a few more times, the previous efforts will be in vain. ”

Ran Shaotang was counted out by the final nine domains, and he giggled twice, his eyes were shining.

"You're just in time, take me in."

Zhong Jiuchou deliberately teased her: "This is not your home, why do you have to be sneaky when you go home, it's not good to go through the front door?" You have to jump off the wall. ”

Ran Shaotang had already thought of a prevarication: "I haven't returned for five years, so I want to surprise my parents." How can you go to the main entrance. Help me and take me to my mother's yard. ”

Zhong Jiuchou knocked his fingers on her head twice: "Didn't you say that you won't let me send it?" ”

"You're quite a grudge, you don't call it a send, you're helping others. Put me in and get away. Don't let my family see it. It's called helping others for pleasure and leaving no name. ”

Zhong Jiuchou knew that he was inferior to her in terms of lip service, and he said that he would lead the way, and carried her on his shoulders like a sack.

"Alas, this position is so uncomfortable." Ran Shaotang protested.

Zhong Jiuchou didn't hesitate: "I don't have to pick." ”

After a moment of hard work, he carried Ran Shaotang to Mrs. Ran's courtyard.

At this time, the lamp had just been turned on, and Mrs. Ran should be dining with her husband in the main courtyard. Ran Shaotang stood still under the begonia tree planted by his mother, glanced twice into the house, and urged Zhong Jiuchou to leave quickly.

Zhong Jiuchou didn't worry about her: "Do you do this?" I see you go in and then go. ”

Ran Shaotang thought he was verbose, and pushed him to look at the wall: "Let's go, this is my home, what's not to worry about." ”

The end of the nine domains think about it too.

After admonishing her a few more words, she jumped off the wall and left.

Ran Shaotang looked around, but the people were not there, so she took the opportunity to sneak into her mother's room.

The house was lit up, and she was worried that the people outside would see the shadows in the house, so she thought about it and got into the bed of her grandmother in the inner room.

The maidservant girl made the bed early, and put two soup women who warmed her feet.

Shaotang got into the warm and soft quilt, smelled the unique fragrance of his mother, gradually tired, and held on for a while, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes and woke up, it was already dawn.

Through the veil, she saw a figure sitting by the window, sewing something.

She secretly screamed that it was not good, how could she sleep so deadly, and hurriedly lifted the quilt to get up, but the person by the window stood up and put down the clothes in his hand and walked over quickly.

"Shaotang. You're awake. ”

Yu Ruoxian hugged her daughter, and asked again and again in a choked voice, "Why are you injured?" Look at you're skinny, and you've suffered a lot outside, right? Mother thought she would never see you again in her life. How did you get back? ”

Faced with a bunch of problems, Ran Shaotang chose the most important thinking.

How did Grandma know she was hurt?

She hurriedly lowered her head, only to find that her clothes had fallen off, and she was wearing her mother's middle coat at this time.

The long chest wrap was also removed, and I felt that my chest was bulging, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

"Mother, where's my breastwash?"
