Chapter 8: Deep Love (2)
Aunt Huo looked at the general's gaze at Ji Ran, and her heart was even more resentful, at night, she cried to Ji's father vigorously, the crying pear blossoms brought rain, the crying Chu Chu was pitiful, the beauty cried and complained that she was cute and cute, and Ji's father, who was blown by the pillow wind, was overwhelmed by the pillow wind's maintenance, and on the second day, Ji Ran was punished by Ji's father for being reckless and rude in the ancestral temple for two hours.
"Miss, how can the master be like this!" Su Mo'er knelt beside Ji Ran distressedly, looking at her young lady's thinner face, tears flowing.
"Okay Mo'er, I'm fine, don't you know your father after so many years?" Ji Ran didn't have any look on his face, he was all indifferent. After kneeling for a long time, without a grain of rice or a mouthful of water, Ji Ran's body gradually became a little unable to support it, and he vaguely heard the coquettish laughter of his daughter's family behind the door, and the voice was so harsh.
"Miss..."
"There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add..."Ji Ran smiled calmly, which pierced Su Mo'er's heart and made the little people present unbearable.
"Miss, when the time comes, go back and rest." The little guy next to Ji's father finally couldn't stand it, he walked to Ji Ran's side and helped him up lightly, his weak body was like a paper man. With Su Mo'er's support, Ji Ran paced, his face was pale, and there was no blood on his lips. Through the little gap in the window, Ji Ran clearly saw a pair of 'wall people' outside the window, the graceful man was bending over as if picking up something, and when he got up, he handed the handkerchief in his hand to the third sister, the third sister's cheeks were flushed, very good-looking, and the appearance of Lang Qing Concubine was like a picture.
'Winter is bitterly cold and snowflakes are falling, so it's a good time to talk about love. Ji Ran couldn't help but chuckle, and walked down the path step by step with Su Mo'er's support, never looking back.
Halfway through the winter, my mother's illness began to gradually improve, I don't know if it was because of my last 'rudeness', life is not as poor as before, Ji Ran's heart is already very satisfied. Today's weather is just right, and the sun shines on her hands through the window, warming Ji Ran's cold heart. Ji Ran stepped out of the side hall, saw the frozen winter snow, stepped on it, and the creaking sound spread throughout the courtyard, Ji Ran's face became gentle, and the corners of his mouth were a little more smiling.
"Ran?"
"Mother, why don't you rest?" Hearing his mother's call, Ji Ran quickly stepped forward to help his mother, his worried expression overflowing. The mother and daughter stood under the eaves, and the mother looked at Ji Ran's emaciated face and rough clothes, and sighed faintly, "Ran'er, it was your mother who dragged you down, I only hope that you will be blessed by your grandmother, find a good family as soon as possible, and don't have to suffer in this palace." ”
Ji Ran raised his face and gently wiped away the tears on his mother's cheeks, "Mother, Ran'er is not bitter, with a mother, the daughter will be content." The mother and daughter hugged each other, the scene was moving, this scene clearly fell on the sight of the man in the distance, and what Ji Ran didn't notice was the pity in the corner of the man's eyes.
Winter goes to spring, everything returns to spring, the days pass day by day, and soon it will be the year of peace. On that day, Ji Ran stayed in the attic as usual, and Mo'er happily trotted towards me, saying that King Rui had come to Huiyun Pavilion like an unprecedented time, and sent someone to send Ji Ran a set of gorgeous clothes.
Mo'er's happy appearance dyed her cheeks red, Ji Ran looked at it and was quite happy, after the clothes were finished, Ji Ran looked at the woman in the mirror and was slightly stunned, the woman in the mirror was wearing a light dark purple red duplex seam needle printed fabric brocade and Daqing painting embroidered half-sleeved songbird pattern brocade straight collar placket, rose red bundle needle Yao Chi Jiqing Tu axis scattered flower skirt, the bottom of the shirt slightly swinging is actually an egg yolk fluff thread Shu cloth brocade skirt, the body is the embroidered Tianhua brocade shoulders of the Lan Zi Song people, the bright red blood beads in the delicate bun are shining, the ears are garnet earrings of the same color, and the side cloud temples are dotted with pearls, white as green on the hand wearing a ruby ring, waist tied with red and gray embroidered gold floral pattern net, lightly hung with a hundred butterflies wearing flower brocade purse, a pair of milk cigarette satin sheepskin boots.
I don't know if it's because of the costumes, Ji Ran's whole person is dazzling, and his face looks much more complex.
"Miss, you look so good in this." Mo'er was naturally delighted with this sudden love, and looked at Ji Ran and sighed unconsciously. yes, it's pretty, but isn't that too gorgeous.
"I don't know what my father means, but I still hope for my grandmother's guidance." Following the footsteps of the grandmother in the house to the main hall, Ji Ran had all kinds of doubts in his heart, you must know that the eldest lady who has always been regarded as ominous in the house, when will she be able to attend like this? Ji Ran was terrified and suspicious in his heart, worried and uneasy all the way.
"The eldest lady is polite, rest assured, it is a great joy, a great joy in the house, and a great joy in the eldest lady." Mama, the maids have changed their white eyes and disgust in the past, and their eyebrows are full of respect and joy.
"Father, mother." Before he stepped into the main hall, he heard laughter that had never appeared in Huiyun Pavilion. Under the leadership of Mama, Ji Ran cautiously stepped into the door, and was greeted by the distinguished man in the main hall who had not seen him for a long time. The man smiled and smiled, and he was gentle everywhere he touched his eyes. Ji Ran suppressed the corners of his mouth in surprise and saluted slightly.
"Big sister is here, sit down quickly." Ji Huirou, who ran out of nowhere, changed her usual timid demeanor today, and held Ji Ran's arm affectionately, but Ji Huimei next to Aunt Huo just glared at her viciously.
"The third sister is polite." Ji Ran didn't like that pretentious temperament, and when she noticed the woman approaching, her body instinctively took a step back, distancing her body from Ji Huirou. Leaving Ji Ran's body, I saw Ji Huirou's face change instantly. After Ji's father's nod, Ji Ran slowly sat down, but without saying a word, he slowly stared at the hall, the elders came so completely, and even the eldest uncle and third uncle came, they looked up respectfully at the man in the upper hall, and there was flattery between their eyebrows and eyes, Ji Ran was naturally quite disdainful of this, glanced at that place, lowered his head and lightly pressed the calluses born from the labor between his fingers.
"I don't know what objections the prince has to deal with this family business?" The voice of the man in the hall instantly broke into Ji Ran's mind, family? Whose family affair?
"The general's words are serious, the emperor and queen are rewarded, the palace is happy and frightened, how dare you, how dare you..."
"Then, does the eldest lady have any objections?" Just when Ji Ran's face was full of doubts, the words of the man in the hall instantly made her the focus of everyone.
'Dissent? What does the family affair have to do with me, since it is a kindness in the palace, how can it fall on me, a nominal eldest lady, it is really ridiculous. ’
"The general's words are serious, little girl..."Father Ji was even more uneasy when he heard this, and when he wanted to show his loyalty, the man suddenly got up and walked in front of Ji Ran, this action made Uncle Tang fall into shock again.
"What does the general mean by this, the little girl is humble and doesn't dare to speculate on her intentions, please make it clear to the general." The tall body instantly blocked Ji Ran's body like a wall, and his skin was wheat-colored due to sleeping and fighting all year round, and his handsome appearance would make most girls feel excited.
"How about marrying me, I can give you everything you want." The flirtatious tone, the casual smile, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a flower, Ji Ran endured the disdain in his heart, and raised his head to meet the pair of eyes full of expression again.
"Thanks to the general's affordability, the little girl obeys the order." There seemed to be some magic omen in those eyes, and Ji Ran responded unconsciously. Looking at each other, Ji Ran's firm gaze amused the man again, the hearty laughter was far away again, the man sat back in the center of the hall, and the sound of praise around him sounded again, when Ji Ran was still in a state of ignorance, Ji Huirou appeared next to Ji Ran again, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a sister.
"The eldest sister is really blessed, she is really taught by her mother, and I am really not comparable to the third sister." Ji Huimei is really still that rectum, the sourness in her tone is difficult to hide, and she looks at Aunt Huo inadvertently, it is really the same look, Ji Ran chuckled lightly, but it made Ji Huimei even more resentful.
"Wait a minute." Ji Ran didn't like the hypocritical faces of everyone in the hall, and when he saw the man leaving, Ji Ran quickened his pace and chased him out.
The man seemed to be deliberately dodging, Ji Ran quickened his pace and ran out of breath but still didn't catch up, until he came to the door of a side room, he suddenly stopped his pace and pulled Ji Ran who followed him in.
"Then there must be something to ask me, there are few people passing by here, you can tell me what is in your heart." The man was different from the frivolous appearance just now, and while changing his name, his tone also changed a lot.
"The general has a prominent reputation, but his posture is shallow, and he was born humble, I don't know why the general asked to marry?" The change in attitude couldn't help but surprise Ji Ran, and saw the girl with crimson cheeks taking a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Because my heart is pleased with you." The bright eyes looked at him, the distance between the two narrowed again, and Ji Ran could even hear his own heartbeat.
"There is no one else here, so why should the general be fooled?"
"How do you know I don't like you? What you say is not wrong, the fame is shining, the military achievements are great, why should you fool a ruined concubine who is not favored, if it is not because I am pleased with you, why should I do this? ”
"What's so bad about marrying me? The title of the general's wife can make your father of King Narui, the favorite concubine of the Huo family, and your brainless second sister, the pretending delicate third sister to be respectful to you, and your mother, no one will dare to bully in the future, what do you say? The smile was gone, replaced by the firmness in the dark eyes.
"That's good."
"My son is a person who knows how to judge the situation." After getting Ji Ran's affirmation, Chongcang returned to his grinning appearance, and his gaze at the girl became hot again.
Many years have passed, and Ji Ran has never forgotten that day and that person, until the eighteenth year of Taifeng...
