Most of the little ladies' gatherings are early.

Li Qingrou, the third lady of the Li family in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, has always eaten breakfast with Mrs. Chen, the old lady.

As soon as she finished breakfast, her aunt Mrs. Zhang and her second sister-in-law Cao arrived.

The three of them surrounded her and explained in detail.

Li Qingrou was just about to go out, when a gust of wind rushed in in Qiuyue to report: That girl is out of the house again.

Old Madam Chen pursed her lips angrily.

Li Qingrou's eyes widened, what did she do when she left the house? She's not going to go to the Hejian County Palace? Or, did she go out of the mansion to the palace of the king of Hejian County? So far, how did she get there?

The second grandmother, Cao, wrinkled her brows tightly, looked at Mrs. Chen, and then at Mrs. Zhang, not planning to say more.

First, it's not something she can talk about, and second, she doesn't want to touch that girl's business anymore.

Mrs. Zhang was calm, "A-Niang, don't go to your heart, didn't Master Hou say it, let her be." ”

"What a mourning star, a loser, a broom spirit, an iron broom essence!" Mrs. Chen scolded angrily.

"Go ahead, that's fine, if she doesn't arrive, and when asked, you say she's gone out in the morning, and no one knows where she's gone. If you do, you don't know. It's the truth. Mrs. Zhang said softly to her daughter.

Li Qingrou nodded and went out to get into the car. When he arrived at the palace of Hejian County, Li Ran was still walking slowly on the street.

Huo Wenlin heard Li Qingrou say that Li Ran went out in the morning, and no one knew where she went, so she let Li Qingrou in, and hurriedly sent someone to report to her mother, Princess Du.

Princess Du asked Huo Wenlin to entertain the little ladies she invited, and sent two safe mothers-in-law to guard the nearest street corner from their house.

"I don't know ......," Princess Du looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cao, and said vaguely.

"I'm afraid they're coming to us." Mrs. Cao understood what Princess Du meant, and she smiled bitterly with embarrassment, she was embarrassed for the Marquis of Chang'an.

This Li Ran girl, the last trip to go out, slapped the door of the Chang'an Hou Mansion in the face, this time I went out, I was afraid of another slap.

"That's really the house, if you want her to come, you can arrange it for the carriage and horse servants, and you can do whatever you want, if you don't want her to come out, just watch the door. Why did you make such a fuss again? Princess Du shook her head and sighed.

"When they went to the Cao family to propose marriage, the second aunt felt that the two ladies were too marketable, and the second sister married in the past.

It was the wife who spoke, saying that the market was too marketable, but fortunately, she didn't have any heart, and everything was on her face. Really. Mrs. Cao lowered her voice and smiled.

"Your wife is a clear-eyed person. It's really too marketable, it's not just a heartless thing, it's too short-sighted, and everything is tempered. Alas, forget it, let's not talk about other people's business.

Ah Can's family affairs have to be settled as soon as possible, and Sister Lin. ”

Princess Du frowned when she thought of her son and daughter who had not yet decided on her family.

"Sister Lin is still young, and with the third child in front, there must be a big and small order, that is, the third child's family affair ......" Mrs. Cao sighed, "How good is the sixth sister of the Wang family, the third child has to suspect that the parents are not good enough." ”

"This kid has been spoiled since he was a child, and now that he has grown so big, his father is not here, really."

Thinking of her youngest son's pickiness and the fact that she couldn't control him, Princess Du had a headache.

……………………

As soon as Li Ran stepped into the side gate of the Hejian County Palace, Huo Wenlin and Mrs. Huo carried her skirt and hurried out from the inside.

During the banquet in Chongyang Palace, Huo Wenlin looked at Li Ran carefully, but Li Ran looked at countless unfamiliar faces, and she didn't know who was who, this was the first time she had seen Huo Wenlin.

Li Ran stood still and carefully looked at Huo Wenlin, who was hurrying to meet her.

Huo Wenlin's eyebrows and eyes were flying, her face was very similar to her brother, slightly taller than herself, her body was slender, and she was wearing a white fox cloak with a jade bright silk face.

Coming on, bright and fresh, and full of color.

She is a very beautiful and eye-catching little girl.

Huo Wenlin greeted Li Ran, and her eyes first fell on the hem of Li Ran's dusty cloak.

The streets of the capital are very clean, but they are still thousands of years away from being clean and dust-free.

Li Ran walked for nearly two hours, and the hem of the delicate lilac-colored cloak fell from the bottom to the top, from the bottom to the shallow, and a layer of dust fell from the bottom to the bottom, which was quite conspicuous.

While Huo Wenlin looked at Li Ran, she was already bending her knees and saluting, and said with a smile: "I was still talking just now, I don't know when my sister will arrive, and the third lady has just arrived." ”

Li Ran learned from Huo Wenlin, and paradoxically bent her knees, just smiled and did not speak.

She was very bad at this kind of entertainment, and she didn't think about how to answer Huo Wenlin's polite words.

"Everyone has arrived, and it's hard to get so neat.

We are in Kuaiyan Pavilion today, and you also know that in our home, in winter, the scenery of Kuaijing Pavilion is the best. ”

Huo Wenlin looked at Li Ran, and under nervousness, she smiled extraordinarily.

"Thank you." Li Ran's thanks were solemn and sincere.

No matter why Huo Wenlin invited her, the matter of her inviting her is a good thing for her, or the good outweighs the bad, and she should thank her seriously.

"Sister is too polite." Huo Wenlin didn't finish a sentence, and choked, "I was born in the first month, and I am better than my sister...... You're big, let's go in, let's wait. ”

I can't say why, facing Li Ran, Huo Wenlin's sister shouted extremely smoothly, but the word sister was stuck on the tip of her tongue and couldn't say it.

Li Ran followed Huo Wenlin into the second gate, and Zhou E followed the second gate, turning left into a few side rooms.

That was the place where the female guards of the Hejian County Royal Mansion were on duty, and she had fought side by side with the female guards of the Hejian County Royal Mansion for many years and was very familiar.

"The three ladies are ......" Huo Wenlin let Li Ran into the second door, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stuck.

What should she call this girl?

She is younger than her, she calls her sister bad, she can't call her sister, she says that the girl is too raw, and besides, there is no one to call the girl in person.

should be called her fourth lady, or fourth sister.

But their Chang'an Marquis Mansion has never admitted that this is the fourth lady, how can she rank for others?

This is what A-Niang specially explained.

Li Ran looked at Huo Wenlin, who was stammering, for a moment, staggered his gaze, and looked at the surrounding scenery with a hint of a smile.

She didn't know why she was suddenly embarrassed, but she understood her situation.

His identity is already too embarrassing, but he has to add a hostility to the Marquis of Chang'an.

This little lady of the Huo family is not easy, if she changed herself, she probably retreated and fled a long time ago.

"I wonder what the girl likes to eat?" Huo Wenlin was stuck for a while, relieved herself, and simply changed the topic.

"I'm not a picky eater." Li Ran hesitated and replied.

Huo Wenlin's question, she didn't know how to answer, she had eaten very little here, and she didn't know what kind of food was here, she couldn't answer.

Huo Wenlin was embarrassed again.

"What do I call you?" Li Ran looked at Huo Wenlin's embarrassment and wanted to find something to ease up, but what she was not good at was greetings.

"Huh? Oh, some of them call me Big Lady, some call me Sister Lin, you ......"

Huo Wenlin was asked by Li Ran, and she didn't know how to answer, and for the first time, someone asked her what to call her.

"Then I'll call you a big lady, thank you big lady." Li Ran smiled, "The eldest lady can call me by my name, or like they do, call me a girl." ”

"I'm older than you, so I'll call you Aran."

Huo Wenlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the girl was too raw, and Ah Ran was more suitable.

"Do you have a sister? How many sisters? Li Ran then looked for words.

"No, I'm the youngest in the family." Huo Wenlin looked at Li Ran in surprise.

She didn't even know who was in their Hejian County Palace.

Li Ran sighed, and she didn't know what to say.

She had a lot of questions, but none of them seemed to be appropriate to ask.

"It's just ahead, we're here!" Huo Wenlin's sentence was simply a cheer.

It's finally here!

In the warm pavilion facing their side, the windows were all open, and in each window, there were a few little girls with beaded hair.

Li Ran's gaze swept over the window and looked around.

She didn't care about the gaze.

She grew up under such curious, pitying, contempt, and jealous gazes.

Li Ran followed behind Huo Wenlin and slowly walked up the steps.

Crossing the threshold, I saw a row of more than a dozen little ladies standing in a staggered semicircle, looking at her with only one eye.

Probably because there was no need to face Li Ran alone, Huo Wenlin's expression and tone were relaxed and lively, "I'll introduce you, in fact, everyone has seen it." This is the sister of the Li family, with a single name, the third sister, she is younger than you, isn't she? ”

Huo Wenlin looked at Li Qingrou, the third lady of the Li family, hoping that she could say: This is her sister.

In that case, she can follow Li Qingrou's sister and give Li Ran the title of the fourth lady, which solves the problem of her and everyone's name for Li Ran.

"I don't know, no one in our family said that."

Li Qingrou didn't understand what Huo Wenlin meant, she just answered honestly.

She and Li Ran are big and small, the mother-in-law, Daddy and Auntie have never told her.

Moreover, she didn't like the sudden addition of a sister in the family, she had two sisters, it was enough, she liked to be the youngest of her siblings, she didn't want to have a sister at all.

Li Ran pursed a smile at the corner of her mouth and looked at the third lady, Li Qingrou.

She is the same as her aunt and her mother-in-law, she is so direct.

"Yes, what, that, by the way, this is the sister of the Wang family, the sixth lady Wang Ji......" Huo Wenlin snorted a few times in embarrassment, and immediately began to introduce other people.

Li Ran nodded with a smile as Huo Wenlin introduced, but she didn't bother to remember which one was which.

Once upon a time, she used to work extremely hard to remember everyone, to make friends and please everyone, to make herself like them, to make herself fit in with them.

Many years later, she realized that she was not a person in their circle, she was different from them, this was not something she could make up for with her heart, and no matter how hard she worked, she couldn't blend in with them.

Now, the gap between her and them is even bigger, and even, the gap between her and the world is huge, and she doesn't plan to make such useless efforts anymore.
