Chapter 121: Blessings
Yan Jiang's heart trembled, and before he heard what the solution was, he resolutely stopped: "No." Nothing can hurt you. ”
Mrs. Ran and Yan Jiang have been together for decades, like sisters, and Yan Jiang knows all her secrets, including Shaotang's life experience. For this person who thinks about herself everywhere, knowing that she is worried about herself, she hurriedly turned her head to look over and said reassuringly.
"Yan Jiang rest assured, when Chinese New Year's Eve comes, my mother-in-law will definitely find me in trouble as before, and then provoke her to lose her temper and pretend to be beaten. The court values filial piety, the mother is sick, and it is common sense for the children to serve the sick, even the queen mother can't find fault. In this way, all three of us, mother and son, escaped. ”
When Yan Jiang heard the word "pretend", he thought that the general took great pity on his wife on weekdays and would not let people really fight, so he didn't stop it.
However, he repeatedly reminded that he must find an old man who can do things to carry out the execution.
The details of Chinese New Year's Eve were being discussed here, and the domestic servants guarding outside the mansion had already surrounded Ran Shaotang and entered the mansion.
I saw that this eldest prince who had already tossed the Ran Mansion had a clean face and neat clothes, and he was not like other sons who escaped from the academy with a disgraced face, embarrassed, and amazed in his heart.
However, the eldest prince has always been withdrawn, and no one dares to step forward to ask more.
The housekeeper Ran Fu and the guard Changyu were not there, and after more than a dozen guards saluted, they sent Ran Shaotang into the inner courtyard.
Ran Shaotang waved his hand and motioned for them to go back, and the guards knew that they had never liked people to crowd around, so they stopped and watched the eldest prince enter.
Someone whispered: "Didn't the eldest son skip school again, right?" ”
Someone answered: "It looks like he didn't study in the school, otherwise why did Fanlu Academy burn down, and several high-ranking sons died, and our eldest son didn't even have a gray face on his body?" ”
"Skipping school can avoid disasters, it seems that our eldest son is really a lucky star."
The older one came out to stop him: "It's all gone, don't chew your tongue like a girl here, hurry up and report the good news to the chief of the guard and the housekeeper." said that the eldest prince came back by himself. ”
As soon as Ran Shaotang stepped into the inner courtyard, a servant reported to Mrs. Ran that the eldest son had returned safely.
Mrs. Ran was happy in her heart, but the expression on her face did not change, but Yan Jiang was so happy that she almost shed tears, and walked out in three or two steps.
"Oh, my eldest son, where have you been? Your grandmother is worried about you. Let the slave see if it hurts somewhere? ”
Ran Shaotang looked at Yan Jiang up and down, and grinned at her rarely, revealing the pear vortex on his right cheek, as bright as the morning sun: "Mother Fu, I'm fine." At noon today, I suddenly remembered that there was a lack of herbs in my mother's new recipe, so I went to the mountains to pick them. Well, it's not. ”
She neatly took out a cloth bag from her arms and stuffed it into Yan Jiang's hand. Calling out to Mrs. Ran, who was sitting at the top, "Mother", she stood silently to the side, waiting to be trained.
Yan Jiang was afraid that Mrs. Ran would have a seizure, so he hurriedly handed over the herbs for her to see: "Madame, look, it is indeed a wolf poison halberd that has been looking for a few months, and the eldest prince has a long ability." ”
Mrs. Ran glanced at the contents of the bag, and reprimanded with a dark face: "The wolf poison halberd grows on the cliffs, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pick it, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you are seen?" ”
When Ran Shaotang was very young, Mrs. Ran repeatedly taught her not to get too close to others, not to be competitive, to be clever and clumsy, and to be calm.
Ran Shaotang understands the truth of shooting the first bird with a gun, and his mother's teachings are for his own good. To sum up, it is to minimize the sense of presence and never be conspicuous.
Therefore, in order to save her life, she has never liked places with many people, and she rarely communicates with people, and she will never use two words if she can express it clearly in one word. Except for Fu's mother and her mother-in-law.
In the eyes of the servants of the Ran family, she is a strange boy with an arrogant personality. It is estimated that, like the friends in the academy, everyone thinks she is a good-for-nothing quail. The only thing that surprised me was the occasional skip class and go out to play without permission.
She's always pretending to be good.
Nothing will go wrong today.
"Mother, don't worry, since it is a mountain cliff, no one will go up to it. No one will see me taking medicine. "The one who saw it was dead.
Mrs. Ran didn't want to be too harsh on her.
This child was born very sensible, and sometimes she was more thoughtful than she thought about as a mother. In fact, such a child was given to her by God, and she was not satisfied.
Because he felt wronged, he rarely reprimanded him on weekdays. Teaching her like this now is also to let her remember her identity and not get carried away and accidentally fall into the Ran family.
Yan Jiang saw that the mother and daughter had a stalemate, feeling distressed by the big ones and even more distressed by the small ones. Hurriedly smiled as usual and played the round: "It's good that the eldest prince went to collect medicine, and this will not avoid a fire." I heard that several children had died in the academy. I don't know what kind of sin I created, and I died at a young age. The adults in the family don't know how bad it is. ”
When Mrs. Ran heard this, she was also a little afraid, and reached out and dragged Shaotang beside her into her arms, stroking her head one by one.
"You kid is a weird spirit, if you don't press you like this, I don't know how many days you will have to turn. When I heard that the guards came to report that I didn't find you in the academy, I knew that you had skipped school and gone crazy elsewhere. Don't be so willful next time. Only when the Master's teachings enter your heart are your ability. Didn't you keep clamoring to learn how to get rich? ”
Shaotang enjoyed this warm moment of mother and daughter embracing each other, her two arms tightly hugged Mrs. Ran's slender waist, and her breath was full of the fragrance of her mother's body, she took a deep breath greedily and said "um".
"The son has finished memorizing the homework left by the master, and in the afternoon the master wants to organize everyone to discuss the scriptures. But listening to the debate of his classmates, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but participate in winning the first prize, so he simply turned his eyes out of sight and was not annoyed, so he went to the mountain. ”
Yan Jiang saw that Shaotang blamed her mother for the fault in a few words, and couldn't help but pouting and snickering, and privately praised her clever sophistry.
Mrs. Ran poked her finger on her smooth head and said angrily: "I think you don't like to study, so you made an excuse." But this fire is so burning, you can't go to the academy if you want to. Pity the children who burned to death. ”
Although Shaotang didn't have much intersection with those children, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard that someone was dead, and asked, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?" ”
Mrs. Ran sighed: "How can there be results so quickly." However, those who died were all sons of powerful families, and the court must pay attention to them. ”
Shaotang remembered the half of the paper found from the dead man, and faintly felt that she might have mistaken the princess's slut this time.
