Chapter 38: Gifts and Gifts

Li Ran returned to Cuiweiju, as usual, took a slow bath, dried his hair, read half a book, and fell asleep.

Lying in bed, he didn't fall asleep as quickly as he usually did.

There was a dull pain in the wrist, and when I threw the saucers, I used too much force, as if I had strained my muscles.

Compared to her former leather, this body is too delicate,

Li Ran put her wrist outside the quilt and looked at the bright white window.

The windows were newly replaced with silver and red gauze, and there were a few very beautiful lanterns under the porch, which made the bright white of the window much less chilly.

Li Ran looked at the window unfocused, thinking about this afternoon's events.

Today's this, is it a sudden Lengtouqing, or is it here to test the line? Or both?

Zhou E seemed to be very surprised, she sat steadily, waiting to see if she would respond to the temptation, would she talk back?

Could it be that they, the emperor, the crown prince, who are said to be extremely wise, really think that they will have some blood in their hearts and want the glory of a princess?

The girder is gone, and after the change of dynasty, the fluttering of the old dynasty has always been a poignant joke.

Since the emperor said that he was smart, how could he think that he would be a moth to the fire?

It is probably because the people who hold the imperial power understand too well the temptation of that power.

But she never had any power, she struggled alone for many years, and all she wanted was a more peaceful life, like now, the silver-red veil on the window, and the few red lanterns under the porch, she was satisfied.

……………………

Yeonfuden.

The emperor leaned on the pillow, tilted his head slightly, his face was full of sorrow, for a long time, he sighed, "Look at her life, I am so envious!" ”

Li Mingshui, the Marquis of Chang'an, stood in front of the kang with his hands down, and there was no expression on his face.

The crown prince, who was sitting sideways opposite the emperor, slapped it on the thick stack of folds.

"Daddy just talked. Look at this little girl, she will have a lot of fun......"

Looking at the prince's furrowed brows, the emperor sat up straight and smiled dryly.

"Let's get down to business, this group of displaced people in southern Shaanxi, you should discuss it with Wang Xiang, and tell Xie Ling that you have to squeeze some money and grain out no matter what. Daddy is old, and you have to worry about government affairs. ”

"Daddy, are you still far from sixty?" The prince leaned forward, looked at his father and asked.

"It's not a few years. Let's not talk about that. When Daddy was young, he fought everywhere and was injured, but you don't know it, don't talk about this, don't talk about this.

You take these away, you are young, you can see ten lines at a glance, you can see quickly, Daddy got up this morning, his head started to hurt. ”

The emperor ordered a stack of folds on the kang, and then raised his hand to press it on his head, with a painful face.

The prince leaned at him, and for a moment, he took more than half of the fold and put it in front of him, "That little girl only wants to live today and don't want tomorrow, can you envy this freedom?" ”

"That's the same, Daddy just said it casually." The emperor took a few more folds and put them on the stack in the prince's hand.

The prince just didn't see it, turned his head to look at Li Mingshui and said: "Such a little abnormality, this little girl will take the lead, and she won't even leave a word, this is her attitude." ”

"Yes, yes, this little girl is very smart, who did she talk to, saying that someone must be watching her?" The emperor looked up at Xie Ze, who was standing behind the crown prince, and asked.

"The six ladies of the Wang family."

"Yes, yes, Wang Xiang's granddaughter." The emperor turned his head, looked at Li Mingshui, and sighed, "Look at it, what a smart little girl, what your prince is right, she knows everything, this is not a word, it is her attitude, this little girl is really much smarter than you." ”

"Record her in your Li family tree, it seems that compared with that bloodline, she is still willing to be a girl of the Li family. She has such an attitude, you have to let her know that you see it. The prince looked at Li Mingshuidao.

"Yes." Li Mingshui owes himself to be.

"She's a poor person, don't be afraid to reach out when she can pull a hand." The prince looked at Li Mingshui and continued.

"Yes." Li Mingshui once again owed his promise.

……………………

The day before the festival, the results of the social drama competition came out, and the top three social drama teams were extremely excited to dance together in the open space in front of Yingxiang Pond to celebrate.

Since the next day, Li Ran has not gone out again.

Because the major opera troupes, as well as those who sing small songs and tell stories and sell art, etc., have sealed the boxes from the day of the festival stove until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the boxes have been opened again and again.

According to the bad words of the tea house, like a cow and a horse all year round, you always have to rest for a few days, besides, you must also raise enough spirit, earn some money in the first month, and if you have good luck, you can earn half a year's money to support your family in a new year.

The troupe and everything are sealed, and Li Ran has nothing to look at, so of course she won't go out.

Besides, she is also tired, and as she said, she also has to take a break and recuperate her spirits, so that she can take a good look at the liveliness and grandeur of the most talked about by the idlers in the capital from the first day of the new year to the sixteenth.

Li Ran nestled on the kang and looked at the book leisurely.

The current Cuiweiju is much more livable than before.

The plate of bergamot has been replaced by narcissus, Li Ran likes the fragrance of narcissus very much, diffused in the warm room, making people have an illusory feeling of quiet years.

Replaced with a delicate silver and red gauze window, when there is sunlight, the whole window is full of warmth, and at night, or when it is cloudy and snowy, the moonlight and snow reflect on the window, lined with silver red, there is a trace of warmth, and it is no longer cold and white.

It's like the curtains and all the other have been replaced with new ones.

The bedroom is separated from the outside by a lot of beautiful things.

On the long desk under the window on the other side, there was a bottle of green plum, a pen stand, a pen wash, and an arm rest, etc., and the bookshelf against the north wall was half full, and the new books she bought were placed.

Now, it's a very comfortable room.

Li Ran nestled on the kang and happily read her new book.

She hasn't finished reading these new books until now, she's so busy!

……………………

On the other side of the mansion, the second grandmother Cao Shi looked worried, and talked in a low voice with the nurse Yuan Mama while walking.

"The lady is really, why did she bring things again, I sent the box last time, and the next day, I was not very happy to see the old lady and the lady, I didn't let you go and tell her, why did she bring these things again!"

The second grandmother, Cao, squinted her eyes in annoyance, and the box in Mama Yuan's hand.

"Last time, I told our ancestors, because of the box, the old lady and the lady in this house didn't seem to be very happy, I think our ancestors' words are more reasonable.

The old lady and the lady are not happy or not, and no one can be happy about this matter.

But our ancestor sent someone to see the third lady, and sent this and that a bunch of things to the third lady, how could it be better to skip that girl, not at all? No matter how you have to have a little bit of it, you can get by on face.

No matter what, now, in our house, there are two girls, this is a matter that the emperor and the prince have spoken, and no one can erase it.

Because of that girl, the old lady and the lady were unhappy about this, and when it came to feelings, it was like this, and everyone in the family was very sympathetic.

But in theory, this is unhappy, no matter how unhappy you are, even if you can't suppress it all, you can't let this unhappiness be like this, right?

These houses come and go with our house, and they greet the third lady, what should I do with that girl?

Is it because of the old lady and the lady's displeasure that the girl was wiped out, or, no matter how unhappy the old lady and the lady are, they still have to follow the rules?

There is still a marquis in our house, besides, that girl, that is what the emperor and the prince mean.

The old lady and the lady's unhappiness can be ignored if they have a seizure in our house, can it be that the whole capital can treat the girl like they do according to the old lady and the lady's unhappiness?

It doesn't make sense, does it? ”

Last time Mama Yuan went back on the orders of the second grandmother, the old lady didn't say anything, but Mama Yang taught her a good lesson.

After coming back, she thought about it carefully for several days, and thought clearly and clearly: Mama Yang had learned the right lesson, and she was confused before.

"That's what I said, that's what I said." The second grandmother Cao's voice fell, but the troubles were still not less at all. "But I'm caught in the middle, and it's really ...... to look at people's faces during the New Year Sick of it. ”

"Second grandmother, rest assured, the old lady and lady in our house have a straight temper, they are still reasonable, and they won't blame the second grandmother.

Qian'er Zhongyong Bofu sent someone to our house and sent a lot of things to the third lady, didn't he also send a few lucky oranges to the girl?

This is the grandmother who is not in the house, if the grandmother is here, that thing, won't the grandmother have to send it over? ”

Mama Yuan thought about the rotten Fu oranges, and the corners of her mouth pulled down.

"Speaking of which, the old lady just saw those lucky oranges rot into water, and she just didn't send someone to send them to the girl, hey.

The second grandmother thinks about it, if this is sent by our Cao family, sent to the old lady, the second grandmother asks for peace every day, in and out, do you see that thing rotting into water, or do you take a trip to send it over? ”

"Then I'd better send it over, those few lucky oranges are none of my business, I look back and feel embarrassed."

The second grandmother Cao Shi didn't finish a word, and sighed.

"Forget it, I won't complain, this matter, in terms of difficulty, the first is not me alone, and the second, I am really not the most difficult."

"The hardest thing to do is our lady, alas." Mama Yuan thought about Mrs. Zhang and sighed, "I heard that the ancestral hall is going to be opened to enter the family tree?" ”

"Hmm." Second grandmother Cao subconsciously glanced around, "I happened to be next to me." Hou Ye said, it is the meaning of the prince. And last time, San Lang came back with her, or did they eat together and then come back together, I heard that it was also the prince's meaning, this thing ......"

The second grandmother Cao Shi laughed dryly, and did not continue to say the following words.

"That girl is so crazy every day, speaking of this, I heard Mama Yang say that our ancestor praised that girl, saying that the ancestor said that among the little ladies she has seen, that girl is a sharp child.

Listen to this, I really haven't heard our ancestors praise people so much. ”

Mama Yuan sighed, when she heard Mama Yang say this, her eyes widened in surprise, you know, their ancestors are not ordinary people.

"My wife has always liked powerful people, the third sister and the fourth sister, just because the third sister is too good, my wife doesn't like her very much. That girl doesn't say anything else, if you want to say that she is powerful, it is a first-class power, she is ruthless, and she can do it. ”

"Also, our ancestors don't like the word weak the most."

……

The two of them talked in a low voice, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of Cuiweiju, and the second grandmother Cao Shi paused, subconsciously straightened out the cloak, and then went up the steps and entered Cuiweiju.

Li Ran stood in the door of the upper room, greeted the second grandmother Cao, watched Cao take the suitcase from Mama Yuan, and suddenly remembered, what about the suitcase she sent last time? And those two glass bowls, where did they go?

Her attention was so preoccupied with the bustle outside that she had forgotten about it, as if she hadn't seen the suitcase or the two bowls since that day.

"This is just sent by the Cao family, a few fresh palace flowers, as well as the rice cakes made by the Cao family themselves, a few kinds of sugar crisp, this rice cake and sugar cake are the craftsmanship of the Cao family."

The second grandmother, Cao, handed the suitcase to Qiu Yue, who came up, and looked at Li Ran and smiled.

With the friendship of sending pomegranates last time, Cao is not so worried about whether she will be kicked out without finishing a word, but in the face of Li Ran, her heart is still up, and she firmly remembers that she can't be too polite with this girl, and it is best to talk about things directly.

"Thank you, thank you......"

Li Ran wanted to thank Cao Fu again, but a word of thanks, but he couldn't think of how to call this Cao Mansion to the second grandmother, and directly said thank you to the Cao family, something is wrong, thank you for your mansion, and even more wrong, the second grandmother's mansion in front of her is the Hou Mansion of Chang'an.

Li Ran's eyelids drooped slightly, and she hid her words of thanks.

"The girl is so polite, how can she use a thank you." Cao Shi was thanked by Li Ran, and Xie's heart was relieved, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"I forgot to send back the last suitcase, as well as the two bowls. Where did you put it? In the last sentence, Li Ran turned to Qiu Yue and asked.

She's not good at socializing, forget it, let's get down to business.

Qiuyue was stunned, and Cao was even more stunned.

"I've sent someone back to Cao's Mansion." Qiu Yue's heart suddenly lifted.

What did she do wrong? Yes, it's really wrong, she should report to her first, ask if she wants to return the gift, what to return the gift, this is all the master's matter, she is negligent, it can't be regarded as negligence, she runs out every day, no one is seen, how to ask for instructions?

"Carrying a box or something, it's all a trivial matter...... It's all trifles. ”

Cao is good at family affairs, and he understood as soon as he heard it, and he smiled politely, but halfway through this polite words, he was stuck.

This is really not a trivial matter for you to come and go, and it is really not a matter for a girl like Qiu Yue to be the master without making a sound. But looking at this girl like this, she doesn't understand these things at all.

Alas, that's not what she's supposed to say, and what she's supposed to teach.

Besides, Qiuyue was ordered by the old lady, and she ran to the old lady's yard several times a day, and she didn't ask the girl to show her, but she didn't necessarily ask the old lady to show her.

Qiu Yue's doing this is not appropriate, right, it's not for her to talk too much.

Li Ran felt that something was wrong, but she didn't want to pay attention to it.

"Thank you." Li Ran pointed to the suitcase and thanked him again.

"The girl is too polite, if the girl likes to eat, send someone to tell me, there is a lot of it. The girl is busy, so I won't bother much. Cao hurriedly took his leave.

After leaving Cuiweiju and walking farther, Cao Shi sighed and said in a low voice with Mama Yuan: "Last time, I went to Cao's Mansion to return an empty suitcase and two empty bowls, that girl didn't know, it was Qiuyue who made her own opinion, and before and after, Qiuyue didn't mention it to her at all." ”

"Whew!" Mama Yuan was surprised, and then lowered her voice and said, "Is it Qiuyue's girl who advocates independently, or is this what the old lady means?" ”

"I don't think it's the old lady, the old lady is not that kind of person, and she doesn't have this heart, this must be Qiuyue's girl who made her own decisions and bullied that girl and didn't understand anything."

Cao Shi snorted.

returned an empty suitcase to Caofu.

A few lucky oranges sent by Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion rotted into water in front of the old lady, and this girl didn't even know about it, let alone this thank-you gift or something.

Alas, this girl's reputation ......

Forget it, she still didn't think about these things that had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care about the reputation or anything like that girl.
