Chapter 13: The thorns are hard and numerous

When Li Ran woke up, Qiu Yue and the girls had already returned.

Li Ran looked at Qiu Yue: all beards and tails, but a little gray and dirty, drooping eyelids, looking very unhappy.

Li Ran ignored Qiu Yue's unhappiness.

She couldn't please her, just as she couldn't please the old lady and lady.

There is nothing she can do, she has always ignored.

The girls are back, and the clothes are back.

Li Ran picked out a silk cotton jacket and wore a thick wool skirt.

After washing her face and coming out, when the girl combed Li Ran's hair, a mother-in-law came in outside, and first lowered her hand to report: "Back to the girl, the warm kang in the girl's house, the flue has to be checked again, the second grandmother ordered it down in the morning, if there is nothing to do, around noon, it will be fine." ”

"Thank you." Li Ran thanked him, turned sideways slightly, and watched a few mothers-in-law bring in a few charcoal basins, and then bring in a few pots of burnt red charcoal and put them in the warm cage.

Qiu Yue poured out the residual charcoal in the hand stove that Li Ran brought back yesterday, and asked her mother-in-law to refill the charcoal and send it to Li Ran.

By the time breakfast arrived, the room was already warm.

Li Ran sat down at the table and looked at the obviously different breakfast: mutton buns, tofu leather buns, japonica porridge, diced bamboo shoots, shredded cabbage, and scrambled eggs with leeks.

"Guo Wang's daughter-in-law said that the girl rested early yesterday, and she didn't have time to ask the girl to show her, this breakfast is prepared according to the lady's breakfast, what the girl wants to eat at noon and night, please show the girl." Qiu Yue set up breakfast, took two steps back, and lowered her eyes.

"At noon, steam the bag of crispy fish I bought, dismantle the boy chicken, put a bowl of cabbage or something, and bake a few sesame sauce cakes on the fire, these are enough.

At night, use that packet of spiced mutton to make a mutton pot, if there is a lamb belly and sheep lungs or something, match some, the haggis should be washed, and let her look at it with some vegetarian dishes.

Also, if there is fresh fruit or something, send some over. ”

Li Ran ordered unceremoniously.

Qiu Yue lowered her hand, took the pile of food that Li Ran bought yesterday, and went out to talk to the two mothers-in-law who delivered breakfast.

Li Ran was in a happy mood for breakfast.

Things were really similar to what she expected, and the emperor was very willing for her to go out for a walk.

After the meal, Li Ran held the hand stove, put on the cloak of lilac pigment silk silver fox, and told Qiu Yue not to take the quilt, so he stumbled all the way to the study building, and took a dozen books in a row for Qiu Yue to hold, and came back to Cuiweiju.

The current Cuiweiju. Nuan Yangyang is quite comfortable, of course, you have to read a book in Cuiweiju.

Li Ran returned to Cuiweiju, listened to the little girl's report that she was optimistic about the flue, and that she had already burned the kang and turned around the house twice.

Where is the kang?

Li Ran turned around again, blessed to the heart, reached out and touched the couch, and sure enough, there was already a trace of warmth on the couch.

It turned out that she was mistaken, this couch with four frames that could be seen were all fine wood, but it was actually a very comfortable big kang.

Li Ran just sat happily on the kang, and the little girl trotted in all the way to report: The second grandmother is here.

Qiu Yue, who had just made a cup of tea and was carrying it over, didn't even have time to put down the tea in her hand, and turned around and hurried out.

Li Ran got off the kang slowly, slipped on his shoes and greeted the door.

Qiu Yue lifted the curtain from the outside, and asked the second grandmother Cao Shi with a smile on her face, "It's cold outside, the second grandmother hurry into the house." ”

The second grandmother, Cao Shi, crossed the threshold and looked at Li Ran, who was dressed in new clothes and stood two or three steps away.

Li Ran smiled slightly, leaned sideways and let in, "Second grandma, please sit on the kang." ”

"I came over without saying hello, don't be surprised, girl."

I can't tell why, the second grandmother Cao Shi met Li Ran's gaze, and suddenly became uncomfortable, and blurted out this kind word, and immediately felt inappropriate.

No matter what, it's a family, and you shouldn't say such things.

Second grandmother Cao's not very suitable kind words were heard in Li Ran's ears, and she understood the estrangement, but there were no fluctuations and thoughts in her heart, what a good and true sentence this is.

"Second grandma, please take a seat." Li Ran sat back in his place and went to the opposite side to let the second grandmother Cao.

"Second grandma, drink a cup of tea to warm up."

Qiuyue lifted the curtain to let the second grandmother Cao's enter, and hurried over to make tea, holding a cup of tea at this time, and handing it to Cao's with a spring breeze.

"This is the dragon and phoenix group tea rewarded by the old lady, I shared a little bit, and I have not been willing to drink it, and the second grandmother tastes whether I make it well."

The second grandmother, Cao Shi, glanced at Li Ran, who was empty and empty in her hand, and said with a smile: "Please try it for you girls first." ”

Qiu Yue was stunned, and then she remembered, hey, what about the tea that I made for the girl just now? Where did it go?

"She's fine." Meeting the gaze of the second grandmother Cao, Li Ran smiled.

"Our family was established late, and we are really rich, and in the past ten years, the old lady and lady are extremely generous, and the people in the house are not comparable to the real family, and they are all very upright."

The second grandmother Cao Shi was embarrassed by Li Ran's sentence, and hurriedly explained.

Speaking of the last sentence, seeing the corners of Li Ran's mouth going up, he picked out a slight smile, and suddenly came to his senses, didn't he say that Qiu Yue was like this, it was from his heart?

Alas, what's wrong with her today!

The second grandmother Cao Shi was annoyed for a while, why couldn't she speak like this?

"Is there anything wrong with the second grandmother?" Li Ran ignored Qiu Yue, whose purple face was swollen, and only looked at Cao Shi and smiled.

"Look at what the girl said, what's the matter? The girl has been back for the past two months, I am busy every day, I have not been free, today I finally have some time, I came to talk to the girl, what's the matter? It's just gossip. ”

After the second grandmother Cao Shi finished her kind words, her heart relaxed a little.

It's good to talk about this kind of gossip, and you can get to the point by pulling it.

"I'm not free today, since the second grandmother is fine, please go back, you and I will be free in the future, and I will gossip again." Li Ran's smile remained unchanged.

"Huh?" Cao Shi didn't react for a while. After a moment, he reacted and blushed.

When she was rushed out in front of her like this, it was the first time since she could remember.

Li Ran had already picked up her book.

"It's not fine." The second grandmother Cao took a deep breath, and this sentence was simply squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"Well, second grandmother, please speak." Li Ran put the book on the kang table.

"Girl......" The second grandmother Cao Shi was stuck as soon as she spoke, what she wanted to say, knocked on the side, there was something in the words, and the words were just the most appropriate, now say it directly, how to say it?

Li Ran sat upright, looked at the second grandmother Cao, and listened respectfully.

"This matter, this ......" Cao's face turned red, and he spit out in a sharp breath, "Forget it, a cheerful person like a girl, I'll tell you the truth, don't mind the girl...... The girl has such a temperament, so she naturally doesn't mind.

I came this time to receive instructions from the old lady and the lady to talk to the girl...... That is, since the girl came back to the present, the old lady and the lady are very angry, even the Hou Ye, and they are also very unhappy. ”

When the second grandmother Cao Shi said something, she almost wanted to slap herself a few times, but she didn't say anything about it, which didn't seem to be right.

Alas, Qiuyue is right, this girl is a monster!

"Old lady, madam, and your lord, since I heard that there was a me, I was not happy. What do they want me to do? What do you want me to do? Li Ran asked calmly.

The second grandmother, Cao Shi, looked at Li Ran for a moment, and looked away.

"Since the girl has returned to the house, there must always be rules, like going out yesterday, no matter what, you have to tell the old lady and the lady, don't you say?"

"If I tell you, will I still be able to get out?" Li Ran looked directly at Cao and asked.

Cao choked.

"Your old lady, lady, and your marquis don't want me to come to this mansion," Li Ran's words paused, and after a moment, he sighed lowly, "It should be, your old lady, madam, and your marquis all hope that there is no me in this world."

The best, I didn't give birth, I didn't survive.

That's how I myself hoped, that I wasn't born, that I didn't survive.

But life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, isn't it? ”

The second grandmother, Cao Shi, looked at Li Ran and couldn't say a word.

In this case, the old lady did say it, and the Hou Ye also said it......

"It's not what I want to come to this house. If I could, I'd rather be alone and set up a female household or something. Li Ran was silent for a moment, "Your government doesn't want to take me over, but you have to take it, everyone has no choice, right?" ”

"Girl...... this said" The second grandmother Cao wanted to squeeze out a smile, but couldn't.

This is indeed the emperor's will, and they will never dare to disobey it.

"It's all a last resort, but you old ladies and ladies vent their grievances on me, which is very undeserved."

The girl said this...... Always elders. "The second grandmother, Cao, regretted it. When the old lady asked her to come over just now, she should have made an excuse to push it off.

"I don't have any elders, none of them, fathers and sons are filial, they don't regard themselves as elders, and I naturally don't have to treat them as elders." Li Ran's voice was soft.

"Ugh." After the second grandmother Cao sighed, she opened her mind, "Even if the girl thinks about herself, the girl thinks about it, you always have to get married, right?" This is the words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents, even for this, the girl can't offend the old lady and the lady to death, right? ”

"First, whether I marry or not, who I marry, I'm afraid that what the old lady and the lady will say.

Second, how far do you think I can satisfy the old lady and the lady? Let them think about me when it comes to getting married? ”

Cao Shi glared at Li Ran, unable to answer.

To what extent she has done, neither the old lady nor the lady will be satisfied.

"There is only one way to satisfy the old lady and the lady, and I will die at once now.

This death, it's better not to die in this mansion, for example, when I went out yesterday, it was very good to find a place to touch my head.

Before I die, it is best to write some words, saying that the old lady and the lady, and how the Hou Ye loves me far more than all their sons and daughters, how he is as kind to me as a mountain, the Hou Ye is a living saint, the old lady and the lady are a living saint, and the love must be written sincerely and from the heart. ”

Li Ran looked at the second grandmother Cao, with a sneer on her face.

"But I don't want to die."

Cao took a deep breath, stood up, and walked straight away.

Li Ran picked up the book, leaned back comfortably, and flipped through it.
