Chapter IV: Negotiation of Divorce

In the next room, the smell of medicine lingers on the tip of the nose, and the atmosphere is awkward.

Geng Kanren stood tall in the room, half of the light shining in from the window, and the shadow covered Zhuo Ruoning's small body, covering her eyebrows and eyes in the shadows.

Geng Kan was staring up and down with her dark and shiny eyes, feeling uncomfortable.

After a stalemate for a while, Geng Kan took a deep breath and asked stubbornly, "Why did you come to Nanjing?" Do you want to go back to Pujiang? ”

"Don't go back, I heard that the three-year filial piety period has expired, and the whole family has moved to Nanjing." Zhuo Ruoning replied with a cold face.

Geng Kan touched his nose and nodded stiffly: "That's okay, the Zhuo family is a scholarly family, Old Lady Zhuo and the two Master Zhuo are both people with university questions, you go back to live with them, and have your sisters to lead you to study, which is much better than staying in Pujiang." ”

Zhuo Ruoning didn't know much about the meaning of his words, but felt that he spoke politely, and his attitude was not arrogant, which was different from the arrogant and arrogant man described by the girls.

She has been lying down for a few days, and the Zhuo family treats her as a mad patient, either coaxing or avoiding, and now it is rare for an outsider to come, she is full of expectations for a difference, so she forgot the hostility at the beginning to the clouds, and pointed to the embroidery pier in front of the bed: "You sit, what are you doing standing so far away?" ”

Geng Kan seemed to be taken aback, subconsciously took a half step back, and excused himself: "Don't sit down, I just returned to Beijing and got a new errand, you ...... Next month, Old Lady Zhuo celebrates her birthday, will your second brother come back, right? I'll come to see you when the time comes. ”

Zhuo Ruoning didn't know anything about the "second brother" he said, and she hadn't memorized the Zhuo family's household registration book.

I thought I could make a friend to talk to, but people didn't seem to mean it.

She was a little disappointed, her eyes darkened, and she stretched out her little paws and shook them.

"Okay, thank you for coming to see me, but don't bring medicinal herbs next time."

Geng Kan has been observing her and found that her temper has changed a lot, probably because of her illness, and she looks a little pitiful when she looks weak.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and his tone softened a little: "What do you want?" ”

"It's good to eat and play anything, just get your mind, it's unlucky to bring medicinal herbs."

Next month, she doesn't know if she is here, and she doesn't know if the real Zhuo Ruoning will be able to survive after leaving.

"Okay, I remember."

Geng Kan was about to say goodbye, but he heard the voices of the girls asking for peace outside.

The eldest girl Zhuo Ruobing, the third girl Zhuo Ruoling, the fourth girl Zhuo Ruoling, and the aunt Jiang came in turn.

Zhuo Ruoning had a headache when she saw Aunt Jiang, this woman was energetic and loud, she was chattering everywhere she went, and she was very noisy, every time she came, a room full of people were made angry by her.

"Oh, isn't this General Xiao Geng? What a rarity," Aunt Jiang said in surprise.

"That day, when I saw you leading the army back triumphantly and riding a tall horse through the streets, it was so majestic that I almost couldn't recognize it!"

The girls saluted Geng Kan, and Geng Kan hurriedly returned the salute.

"When my mother heard that Nian Nian was sick, she ordered me to come and visit, so I went back." After speaking, Chong Zhuo Ruozhen grinned.

His smile was crisp and clean, his eyes seemed to have stars, and the whole room lit up.

Zhuo Ruozhen lowered her head, quietly took a step back, and stood behind her sister, looking at her nose and nose, avoiding his gaze.

Geng Kan didn't expect her to have this attitude, so he was bored and said goodbye.

Zhuo Ruoning couldn't take care of him at this time, and she was attracted by a palm-sized white jade pendant on her eldest sister Zhuo Ruobing's waist.

Zhuo Ruoning: "!! ”

Zhuo Ruobing: "? ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "This, this, this...... It's ......"

Zhuo Li and Lin entered, interrupting their conversation.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said: "I see that the fifth girl's complexion has improved a lot, I heard that it was Mrs. Qiu Shenxian who asked for Fu Shui, tsk, it seems that it is really useful." ”

Zhuo Li frowned, his gaze turned to the Lin clan, the Lin clan was obviously flustered, and his face turned pale for a moment.

Mother Jiang next to her said: "Aunt Jiang, you can't talk nonsense, everyone knows that the master doesn't like these things that the gods are talking about, how can the eldest lady ask for any talisman water?" Besides, the eldest lady has only been in Nanjing for a few days, how can she know any Qiu Shenxian? ”

Aunt Jiang sneered and walked past Mother Jiang, her eyes quickly scanning the room.

Zhuo Ruoning's bedroom is simply furnished, due to illness, things have not been sorted out, the cups on the table are all upside down, and no rune water has been found.

But she still didn't give up: "I also listened to what people said by chewing their tongues, so I called people to ask for clarification." ”

Zhuo Li waved his hand: "Niannian's body is weak, you can go back after you see it, don't make her rest." ”

"Old man......"

Zhuo Li frowned, Aunt Jiang had to be silent, and obediently bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”

The third girl, Zhuo Ruoling, was born to Aunt Jiang, and when she saw her aunt eating in public, she rolled her eyes, walked to the bed with a smile, and took Zhuo Ruoning's hand affectionately.

"The fifth sister likes the jade pendant of the big sister?"

Zhuo Ruoning hadn't recovered from the shock yet: "That seems to be ......"

She's a little confused, what dynasty is coming now?

"The fifth sister has good eyesight, but that jade pendant is the treasure of the big sister, and it is easy not to be touched or shown to others."

As she spoke, she took off the jade pendant hanging around her neck and stuffed it into Zhuo Ruoning's hand.

"Although I'm not as good as my eldest sister, Shuitou is also very good, give it to my fifth sister as a gift, congratulate you on your recovery, and celebrate that our sisters are finally reunited."

In this way, it seems that the big sister Zhuo Ruobing is stingy.

Zhuo Ruobing looked soft and weak, she was originally a person who was not good at words, but when she saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, her face was flushed with anxiety for a while.

Lin glanced at her dissatisfiedly, and said to Zhuo Ruoning: "Why is it suddenly rare to wear a jade pendant, you have several pieces of your own, all pressed in the cage, if you want to wear it for a while, let Mother Jiang find out." ”

Zhuo Ruobing is not a fool, she took off the jade pendant with red eyes, held it with both hands and handed it over: "Fifth sister wants to see it, let's take it and see it." ”

Zhuo Ruozhen, the fourth girl next to her who had been lowering her eyebrows, suddenly grabbed her wrist and turned around to curtsied.

"Father, mother, it's not that the eldest sister is reluctant to give the fifth sister a gift, it's just that this jade pendant was rewarded by the crown princess, and the eldest sister has always worn it by her side, lest there be any mistakes and live up to the emperor's grace."

She has a straight and elegant posture, a beautiful shoulder and neck arc, and a gentle and calm demeanor. In contrast, Zhuo Ruoling has a pointed chin and looks like Aunt Jiang, more than clever, but not docile.

Zhuo Ruoling stared at her and sneered: "Fifth sister is not a stubborn child, can she still look at the jade pendant at a glance?" ”

Zhuo Ruozhen had a smile on her white face, and said unhurriedly: "The eldest sister didn't say that she couldn't see it, but it was just a royal reward and she had to be treated respectfully, so she moved slowly, and the third sister misunderstood her." ”

Saying that, Chong Zhuo Ruobing gave him an encouraging look, and his voice had a soothing taste: "The eldest sister doesn't say it, but the fifth sister hurts the most in her heart, during the fifth sister's illness, the eldest sister prayed for her every day, and asked the girl what the fifth sister likes to eat on weekdays, and is going to change the tricks for her after she recovers." ”

Zhuo Ruolin and Zhuo Ruobing are compatriots of the same mother, and the aunt has been dead for many years, if it weren't for the height here, looking at this bearing, Zhuo Ruolin is more like a sister.

Zhuo Ruoling wanted to say more, but was stopped by his father raising his hand.

"Okay, Sister Li'er is right, the royal reward should be respected. Remember, don't mess around. ”

The white of Lin's eyes almost rolled into the sky.

Zhuo Ruoning didn't notice everyone's reaction, she only thought it was incredible, she actually saw the same thing in different time and space.

"Daddy, I'm not asking for the big sister's jade pendant, I'm just looking, how does this jade pendant look like a boy listening to the Zen lotus pendant in the Chongming Pagoda who worships relics......"
