Chapter 6: Bling
The study building is not far from Li Ran's Cui Wei Ju, it is said to be a study building, it is really a building, although it is only two floors, it is very large, and the floor height is much higher than her upper room.
There are huge bookshelves in the building that I don't know if it's red sandalwood or what Huanghuali is, from the house to the bookshelves, and the books on the shelves, all of them are brand new.
Nearly half of the bookshelves on the first floor are filled with books, and the bookshelves on the second floor are empty.
Judging from this brand-new bookstore that has just begun to load books, this home is not a scholarly family, but it is preparing to work hard in the direction of a scholarly family.
Li Ran was in a good mood, with her hands behind her back, she went straight up to the second floor first, walked through the empty bookshelves, and went down to the first floor to carefully read the books on the shelves one by one.
She came out of her small courtyard smoothly and arrived at this study building smoothly, which made her very happy.
……………………
Li Mingshui, Marquis of Chang'an, came out of Rongxuan Hall, and after walking a few steps, he got a report: Li Ran went to the study building.
Chang'an Hou couldn't tell why he breathed a sigh of relief, strode meteor, and went straight to the study building.
Ten steps away from the study building, Chang'an Hou stopped.
Leaning on the door frame, Zhou E, who was bored, saw Li Mingshui, Marquis of Chang'an, hurriedly greeted him, and lowered his hand to report Li Ran's whereabouts, "...... At this time, I am flipping through one by one, and I am turning it very quickly. ”
Chang'an Hou hummed, raised his feet to go forward, hesitated, then fell back, went around to the side, looked at Li Ran's silhouette through the open window, and for a moment, lowered his head and left.
Li Ran stayed in the library until it was dark and couldn't see the words, and then came out with a dozen books and walked back.
She was very satisfied with this trip to the library.
……………………
The next day, after breakfast, Li Ran asked people to move a chair and put it under the porch, stepped on the railing of the verandah with two feet, and leisurely read the few books she brought back.
A few pages of a book had just been turned over, and the mother-in-law at the gate of the courtyard raised her voice to report: Mama Qian is here.
Li Ran sat still, listening to the footsteps approaching, and looked up at Mama Qian.
Mama Qian stood four or five steps away from Li Ran, frowning at Li Ran, who was stepping on the railing of the verandah and sitting quite indecently.
Li Ran glanced at Mama Qian, saw her frowning and looked at her without speaking, lowered her gaze, and then read her book.
"Girl." Mama Qian bent her knees, which was considered a salute, and looked at Li Ran's upturned feet again, wanting to say that her sitting posture was too rude, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, forget it, she still don't meddle.
"Girl, tomorrow the old lady will take the girl into the palace to participate in the Double Ninth Festival banquet, and ask the girl to prepare."
Li Ran's heart jumped twice when she heard this, put down the book and put down her feet, looked at Mama Qian and asked, "The palace?" ”
Mama Qian looked at Li Ran speechlessly, it's not a palace, what palace can it be? Asgard?
"What to prepare? Does Autumn Moon know? Li Ran looked at Mama Qian's speechless face with disdain, and then asked.
Mama Qian was even more speechless, what to prepare, but she couldn't say it clearly.
"There's nothing to prepare, the girl just pack up and dress up, don't make a taboo."
"If you commit a taboo, will you kill only me, or will everyone be unlucky together?" Li Ran waved the book in his hand and drew a circle to show that this family is this house.
Mama Qian's chest was blocked for a while, how did she speak? How does this make her answer?
"Qiuyue used to wait for the old lady to enter the palace, if the girl didn't know, she would ask Qiuyue."
"Okay." The corners of Li Ran's mouth curled up with a slight smile.
Mama Qian resisted the urge to roll her eyes, lowered her eyes and bent her knees, turned around and left.
Li Ran watched Mama Qian go out of the weeping flower door and hold up the book, but she couldn't read it a little.
Tomorrow you want to take her into the palace to attend the Chung Yeung Festival banquet, tomorrow is the Chung Yeung Festival? This Chung Yeung Festival is also the ninth day of the ninth month of September? So it's early September?
Why did you bring her into the palace? Who is behind this? What is the purpose?
Information is limited and there is no way to speculate.
Just like when she joined the last company, a headhunter found her for some reason......
Alas, in the end, it will all come to fruition.
However, no matter what the purpose, first, nine times out of ten, it is not for her good, and second, she can go out of the house and stand in front of the ultimate boss emperor here, according to common sense, it should not be a bad thing.
At the very least, the likelihood of dying quietly would be much smaller.
Li Ran saw Qiuyue sitting under the opposite porch with a needle doing needlework and looking at her from time to time.
In the current situation, she has to die how they want her to die.
That is, because she saw this clearly, since she was picked up in the car in Shanxian County, no, before she got into the car, she was extremely single, and she didn't care about life and death at all, anyway, there was no way.
Let's think about the bright side, I'm going to the palace, the palace!
Li Ran is a neat and neat person, and immediately put aside all the whys, and began to be happy and excited because of the word palace.
She has visited many palaces, but they are all empty rooms that can no longer be empty.
Looking at an empty house and imagining life in the palace is like looking at an empty stage and imagining a play, and it is impossible to imagine it.
It's so rare to be able to go to a living palace now.
Li Ran thought for a long time before she lifted the book and continued to flip it.
She only looked at these books to get a general idea, and she turned them very quickly, and she had to have an overview of the place first, and then talk about anything else.
By the evening, she had finished reading all the dozen or so books she had brought back.
Li Ran looked at the lantern that had been lit under the corridor, hesitated for a moment, forget it, I won't go to the library, I'm going to the palace tomorrow, and I probably won't have time to read, let's talk about it when I come back from the palace.
Sure enough, the next morning, before breakfast was over, Mama Qian came in with a mother-in-law and a few clothes.
"The girl is in a hurry to come back, and she has rushed out a few homely clothes, but I have to pick a few of the best ones from the second grandmother, don't dislike it."
Mama Qian confessed a few words, put down her clothes, and told Qiuyue to hurry up and wait for the girl to change her clothes, don't let the old lady wait for a long time, and leave.
Li Ran laughed when she heard Mama Qian's last sentence Don't let the old lady wait for a long time. While laughing, I wondered, from yesterday's news to this trip, this Qian Mama exuded a strong depression and sour smell all over her body.
This depression and sourness, I didn't have it when I picked her up last time, but now I have it, it should have something to do with her going to the palace.
Today's sentence made the old lady wait for a long time, obviously for the old lady's grievances, does that mean that the promoter and reason for her to go to the palace is not the Marquis of Chang'an?
As a son, Chang'an Hou is not qualified to wronged his mother, Mrs. Chen.
Then who can wronged an old lady of the Hou Mansion?
Li Ran was full of interest.
Qiu Yue saw Li Ran looking straight at the door curtain, her smiling eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the corners of her mouth pulled down uncontrollably.
Since yesterday I got the letter to enter the palace, this girl has a smirk on her face, it is really embarrassing!
"Girl!" Qiu Yue raised her voice and shouted, she felt that if she didn't wake up this girl in time, she was afraid that she would laugh stupidly.
"Huh?" Li Ran expressed her doubts in the shortest sentences.
"If the girl has a good meal, she has to change her clothes quickly, didn't Mama Qian say just now, don't let the old lady wait for a long time." Qiu Yue pointed to the pile of clothes on the couch.
"Hmm." Li Ran put down her chopsticks and said she had eaten.
Qiu Yue called two girls in, and the three of them were very fast, combed Li Ran's hair again, and inserted a full head of gold sideburns, gold flowers, gold hairpins, and golden hairpins, and the head was full of golden light.
The set of clothes sent by Mama Qian for the second grandmother is pinched with gold, and the golden flowers are rich and embroidered to the end, and the whole dress is very suitable in length, because it is too thick and shiny, and it is impossible to see whether it is fat or not.
Li Ran only felt that her two arms couldn't hang down.
Armed from head to toe, Li Ran stood in front of the large bronze mirror more than two feet high, and his eyes were full of golden light.
Dress her up like this, who is this going to disgust?
Li Ran was dressed in golden light and went out calmly.
In the second gate, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl held Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Zhang walked on the other side of Mrs. Chen, and came out of the moon cave gate together.
From the moment the little girl saw Li Ran, she looked at her with straight eyes.
Li Ran also looked at the little girl, this should be the youngest child in this house, the third lady Li Qingrou.
The third lady, Li Qingrou, has a pomegranate red dress, a bra and a dark blue and gray gown, the gown is slightly shorter, the waist is slightly closed, and she is dressed lively and generous.
Is this family's aesthetic normal?
Li Ran looked at Mrs. Zhang from the third lady, Li Qingrou.
This third lady is not ugly, nor fat, and her mother, Mrs. Zhang, is the two of them at first glance, exactly the same stocky and dignified, thick and dexterous.
The children of this family, the two she had seen, were both impartial and perfectly combined with the characteristics of their parents.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Li Ran, the smile on her face disappeared, and Mrs. Chen's face sank, "Get in the car." It's not too early. ”
There were a total of four cars, Mrs. Chen's Zhulun car was in the front, and Li Ran's car was exactly the same as that of the third lady, walking at the end.
The palace does not have the luxury that Li Ran imagined, nor is it as Li Ran imagined, every move cannot be arbitrary, but it is a bit like a large-scale garden party, and there is not even a ceremony like a collective kowtow.
The garden of this garden party is very large, and there is one that must have been piled up artificially, but it is really not a low hill, and there is a lake on the side of the mountain, and the lake is very large.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the ribbons are fluttering, it seems that this hill is the home field, Chongyang, pay attention to climbing.
Old Madam Chen and a group of old ladies dressed similarly, surrounded by a soft-faced woman in her forties and fifties, walked in the front and walked slowly up the hill along the fluttering ribbons.
Mrs. Zhang followed behind a group of old ladies in front of her, along with a group of ladies who were about the same age as her, but they were all dressed similarly.
Later, it seems that they are all little girls, and a large group is divided into large and small groups, twittering, lively and cute.
Li Ran walked among the little girls, among the delicate flowers, she was a moving glittering gold vessel, dazzling.
From the moment Li Ran walked in, even those old ladies, almost ...... Not almost, but all, all of them, after looking at her carefully, and then glancing at her from time to time.
She was the only center of attention.
As for the little girls around her, Li Ran felt that from the time she came in, the topic of their discussion was none other than her, and she was afraid that it was still the only theme.
It's just that although she is the absolute protagonist of today's garden party, no one came to talk to her.
As before, she was a crane in a flock of pheasants.
Li Ran imagined the appearance of the crane, holding her head high, calmly looking left and right, looking at all the people and things she wanted to see, such as those delicate-faced attendants.
