Chapter 11 Someone from the House
"But with this token, you can go to me at any time to play!"
Murong Liang pouted in dissatisfaction, who was messing around, she really liked her, so she wanted to give her the token!
"When the time comes, it will be the same if I report it."
"How can it be the same! You're my savior! ”
Xiao Yiran's heart warmed, but with a gesture, he couldn't imagine that she trusted her so much and regarded her as a good friend.
Good! Then she Xiao Yiran recognized this friend!
"That's ......" Murong Yuan seemed to compromise, took out a wooden plaque carved with a black pattern from his arms and handed it to her: "Accept this token, girl." ”
"Yay! Brother, you're so nice! Murong Liang cheered.
Xiao Yiran looked at Murong Li, who kept urging her to accept it, and didn't shirk it anymore, she solemnly took the wooden card and said, "I will take care of it carefully." ”
"If there is any difficulty, my town government will do its best." It's a promise, but it's also a warning.
Xiao Yiran smiled, she knew that Murong Yuan was not at ease with her, but it was understandable. If it were her, it would be really difficult to trust someone who had only known her for less than two days!
Murong Yuan has always been steady and cold in front of outsiders, and his softness will only be revealed in front of his family, so he looked at the girl in front of him who he couldn't understand, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes in addition to indifference.
Who is she, ordinary girls don't come to this mountain alone.
Murong Liang didn't think as much as he thought, she was happily pestering Xiao Yiran at this time to ask her to find time to go to the Hou Mansion.
Xiao Yiran was so abrasive by her that he could only say vaguely in the end: "A month, I'll go to you in a month." ”
"That's a word!"
After they said goodbye, Murong Yuan said, "Let's go, it's time to go home, it's not too early." Would you like to come with us? ”
"No, I don't. The little girl is fine alone. ”
"In that case, then I will take my leave." After speaking, Murong Yuan pulled the dissatisfied Murong Fence and walked towards the cliff, apparently looking to find Uncle Bai's corpse.
Seeing this, Murong Liang was also honest and obediently followed him.
"Wait!" Xiao Yiran suddenly remembered something, opened the baggage and took out a herb from it, and trotted in front of her: "This is for you!" ”
"Shudong Grass!" Murong Liang exclaimed.
They came this time to find this Shudong grass, but they didn't see it after looking for a long time, and they didn't expect Xiao Yiran to have it.
She turned her head and looked at Murong Yuan excitedly.
"Take it."
Murong Liang was affirmed, carefully took the fragile herb from Xiao Yiran's hand, and then gave her a bear hug.
"Let's go." Xiao Yiran patted her shoulder gently and said.
This stalk is a rarity that only grows once in a few decades, and she originally used it to use it as medicine to replenish her body, but since someone needs it more than herself, she is willing to cut her love.
Waving goodbye again, Murong Liang walked three times and turned around, she held the medicinal herb in both hands, and lifted it under Murong Yuan's nose as if offering treasure: "Brother! You see! It's good to have this aunt's illness! ”
Murong Yuan glanced at the herbs in her hand, and lowered his face: "Li'er, don't run around alone next time." Do you know how anxious my brother is? ”
Murong Liang looked at the battle robe on his body and lowered his head, she knew that Murong Yuan must have come here to find her as soon as he came back from the battlefield, looking at the bloodshot in his eyes, he must not have rested well last night.
"Got it. I was wrong, I won't do it next time. ”
For this sister who has depended on him since childhood, he has always been afraid of melting in his hands. Seeing this, his tone couldn't help but lighten: "Even if there is no you, Your Majesty will go to find herbs for your aunt." But if you bought this herb with your life, do you think your aunt will be happy? ”
Murong Yuan sighed: "Li'er, there can't be fewer people in our Zhenguo Mansion. ”
......
When Xiao Yiran returned to his residence, he found that the house was deserted, and Mrs. Wang and Li Mazi were not there, and they didn't know where they went.
She put down her burden, walked to the kitchen, took two dried and hard steamed buns in her mouth, and ate them with cold water.
As soon as I finished eating, I heard the crunch of the fence in the courtyard being pushed, and I couldn't stand the bang and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yiran opened the curtain of the door, and saw a group of people walking towards her, and a carriage was parked at the door.
The first person, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with dark skin and a goatee, shouted when he entered the courtyard: "Are Li Mazi and Wang Pozi at home?" ”
"Not here!" Xiao Yiran replied loudly, but his eyes were looking at these people.
"You are?" The man moved his gaze to her, "Could it be that you are the third lady?" ”
"Yes, yes. Who are you? Xiao Yiran looked timid.
Hearing this, the man immediately saluted her respectfully: "Third Miss! The minion's surname is Qian, and he is the housekeeper of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. On the orders of the Hou Ye, I am here to pick you up and return home. ”
Back home?
Xiao Yiran's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the battle quietly, and then showed a happy look on his face, and said excitedly: "Father really said that? Can I go home? ”
The corners of Steward Qian's mouth twitched slightly, but he still replied politely: "Master Hou said, Miss's peace ceremony is approaching, and it is time to go back to the house to hold a peace ceremony." You see, the carriages are parked at the door. He pointed to the door.
Xiao Yiran looked in the direction he pointed, with a look of intoxication: "It's really a carriage!" I've never been in a carriage before! My father treated me so well! ”
It's really a shame to get on the table, a carriage is coaxed into a daze!
Steward Qian became more and more disdainful of this third lady who grew up in the corner of the city, and he smiled slightly: "Of course! You're the master's own daughter! Our Miss Yan of the Loyal and Brave Mansion! ”
Hehe! Xiao Yiran sneered in his heart, he has ignored her for so many years, why did he suddenly think of her today, if you want to say that there is no cat in it, who believes it!
"Good! Let's go! She couldn't wait to urge.
"Oops! Miss, you can't go home like this! ”
Steward Qian looked at her patched clothes with a hard look, and reminded: "If you go like this, it will be considered disrespectful to Master Hou." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Yiran looked nervous and scared, and his body shrank involuntarily: "Then what should I do?" That's all I have. ”
"Madame, I have thought of this for a long time, so I have prepared Miss's clothes early in the morning."
Steward Qian made a color at the mother-in-law behind her, and the mother-in-law immediately brought a burden in front of Xiao Yiran, and said with a kind smile: "Madame said, she doesn't know the size of the young lady yet, so she cut it according to the size of the second young lady." If there is anything wrong, she will ask someone to change it when she returns home. ”
"Suitable, suitable. Then thank you mother. ”
The lady and second lady in their mouths are Xiao Zhiyuan's current wife Bai Huaping and her biological daughter Xiao Yijing.
This white painting screen can also be regarded as an old man in the inner courtyard of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, and she really entered the mansion earlier than Xiao Yiran's mother Chu Rou. As Xiao Zhiyuan's first aunt, Bai Huaping's background is not high, but she is just the concubine of a five-grade civil official in the capital. Just because her father wanted to climb the big tree of the Xiao family, he gave his daughter to Xiao Zhiyuan as a concubine.
Chu Rou's maiden family is in Huazhou, which is very far away from the capital, and she also sent someone to inquire about her before she got married, but she only heard that she had a soft and docile temperament, so she didn't care. But who knew that such an aunt who seemed kind on the surface would get pregnant before Chu Rou. You must know that in the country of Li, if the concubine gives birth to the eldest son before the wife, it is **naked slapping the face of the wife.
For this reason, Xiao Yiran's grandfather Chu Feng also specially returned to Beijing to make a scene. But in solving this ugly matter, Xiao Zhiyuan is also a good person, he first appeased Chu Rou, and promised to send the white painting screen to Zhuangzi, and when he gave birth to the child, he would record the child in Chu Rou's name.
Chu Rou is a kind-hearted person, and she was coaxed by the person next to her pillow like this, so she agreed, and helped Xiao Zhiyuan convince her father. Although Chu Feng was dissatisfied, his daughters said so, and Bai Huaping finally gave birth to two daughters, and in the end, the matter was over.
Not long after, Chu Rou became pregnant and gave birth to Xiao Yiran, but due to postpartum depression, her body was not as good as day by day, and she soon gave up. And Chu Feng also died of grief because the white-haired person sent the black-haired person.
As soon as the three-year mourning period passed, Xiao Zhiyuan immediately re-connected the white painting screen into the mansion, helped her to be the main room, and handed Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yijing back to her to raise. That is, this year, Xiao Yiran was sent to the suburbs because of his ominous life.
After so many years, although the white painting screen is no longer as favored as it was back then, it still firmly controls the inner courtyard of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and its means are not high!
