Chapter 2 General Xiao Geng
Zhuo Ruoning's eyes rolled between the two, and finally heard a clue, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that I was only thirteen years old?" It's too early to get married, right? ”
Mother Jiang: "What's early, the Marquis of Changxing Mansion is a noble family, there are many exquisite, the etiquette is cumbersome, it will take at least two or three years to complete the six ceremonies, and when you are fifteen years old and married, the time is just right." ”
"Married at fifteen?!"
Zhuo Ruoning was taken aback, and silently gave a thumbs up to Geng Kan, who proposed to withdraw from the marriage: Geng Er, well done!
Just when she was rejoicing, the girl who passed the rumor ran back again: "Big lady, the big man led General Xiao Geng to the inner courtyard!" ”
Lin looked at Mother Jiang, and her eyes flashed with fright.
Mother Jiang was obviously nervous, and said in a low voice: "Madam, quickly hide the divine water, don't be discovered by the eldest master." ”
The Lin family panicked, and walked around in a hurry, not knowing where to hide for a while.
"Under the bed, splash under the bed!" Zhuo Ruoning took advantage of the chaos to point.
Lin didn't have time to think, so he threw the bowl of water directly under the Babu bed, and only then did he remember that this was hard-won divine water.
Jiang's mother said "oops", it was too late to rescue.
Zhuo Ruoning let out a long sigh of relief, glad that she had escaped again.
There was the sound of footsteps under the porch, and a deep male voice sounded.
"Xia Sang, are the five girls awake?"
Zhuo Ruoning estimated that the person who asked should be her cheap father who had heard her name for a long time and had not seen him-Zhuo Li, the eldest master of the Zhuo family.
"Awake, the big lady is here...... I'm feeding the girl medicine. The girl replied loudly.
Lin pressed his chest, forcibly stabilized his mind, and walked quickly outside to greet him.
"The master is back......"
Her eyes glanced at the tower-like young man outside the door: "Yo, what kind of wind blew General Xiao Geng here, General Xiao Geng ......"
Zhuo Li coughed lightly.
Lin met her husband's warning eyes and had to swallow the sarcastic words.
Geng Kan's face was full of embarrassment, his eyebrows were wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", and he bowed his head respectfully.
"Big wife, the younger generation just returned to Beijing from the expedition, and I heard my mother say that Niannian was sick and came to visit."
The Lin family just paid lip service to his ability, and didn't dare to criticize Geng Kan too harshly, so as not to hurt the harmony of the two families.
She received the bow from Geng Kan, and the expression on her face softened a little.
"If you have a heart, go in and take a look at Niannian.
After speaking, he led Zhuo Li and Geng Kan into the bedroom, and the inside had already been cleaned up.
Zhuo Ruoning sat at the head of the bed, with a big pillow behind her, she stared at a pair of big black eyes, very curious about the visitor.
The first to come in was Zhuo Li, Zhuo Ruoning saw him for the first time, and saw that this cheap father looked upright, his eyebrows were quite thick, his face was solemn, and the short beard on his lips was meticulously cared for, giving people an extremely stern feeling.
"Fifth girl, hurry up and say hello to the eldest master." Jiang's mother reminded softly at the bedside.
Hello, please? Do you want to kowtow? She doesn't know anything about the etiquette of this world.
But before she could finish her struggle, the young man who followed in attracted her attention.
You're so tall!
This is Geng Kan's first impression of Zhuo Ruoning.
The seventeen-year-old boy was already half a head taller than Zhuo Li, and he looked stronger and stronger than his peers, and he had a natural physique that was ready to charge.
He wore a round-necked robe embroidered with a light blue background, with a dark blue embroidered belt, which made him look broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and his figure was strong and straight.
And he looks handsome, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, awe-inspiring eyebrows, eyes like morning stars, and a very attractive arrogance on his body.
Zhuo Ruoning just figured out that her predecessor was depressed because she was going to withdraw from the marriage, so she was more or less hostile to Geng Kan.
Of course, his eyes are not very friendly.
Zhuoli walked up to her bed, leaned in a little and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”
The caring voice warmed her heart, and her impression of this cheap father suddenly improved.
"Much better." Zhuo Ruoning tilted his head and nodded obediently.
Lin smiled and said, "Your father is busy with official business, and he has been thinking about you, but you came here a few days ago, and you fell asleep." ”
Zhuo Li didn't receive the admiration that Zhuo Ruoning transmitted, and frowned when he looked at her skinny, bloodless little face.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang's mother hurriedly changed the topic: "Fifth girl, look who came to see you." ”
Zhuo Li stepped sideways, and Geng Kan lowered his eyelids and said: "Niannian, my mother heard that you and your eldest wife came to Nanjing, and she was going to invite you to play in the house, but she didn't want you to be sick all the time, so my mother ordered me to bring some medicinal herbs to visit." ”
The tears in Zhuo Ruoning's eyes hadn't dried yet, and his expression froze when he heard this: "Come here, what are you doing with medicinal herbs?" ”
Geng Kan's eyelids jumped: "What do you bring without medicinal herbs?" ”
Zhuo Ruo was anxious, and said with a face full of grievances: "I haven't finished drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor." ”
Lin saw Zhuo Li's face collapse, afraid that he would reprimand Zhuo Ruoning for not being polite in front of Geng Kan, and hurriedly explained: "Nian Nian is afraid of hardship, and he doesn't like to take medicine." ”
Zhuo Li snorted in his nose, and it was difficult for outsiders to have a seizure, "From snacks to big ones, why are you suddenly afraid of bitterness?" ”
Lin's smile froze on his face, and he immediately felt a little angry.
Mother Jiang hurriedly played a round: "Second Young Master Geng and the fifth girl haven't seen each other for a year, there must be a lot to say, why don't the eldest master and the eldest lady go to the outside room and let their young people talk?" ”
Geng Kan raised his hand, his mouth opened, and he stopped talking, obviously not wanting to say anything to Zhuo Ruoning alone. But Zhuoli and Lin were sulking and didn't notice his expression.
