Mama Yang waited for a long time in the second gate, and Li Ran came out, still the old silver cloak embroidered with folded branch peonies.

She has a total of two cloaks, one a day to wear, yesterday she wore the lilac one, today should be changed.

Mama Yang greeted her respectfully, paused on a tea stain on the corner of the cloak, and turned sideways to let Li Ran in the car.

"Was it always so early?" Li Ran paused in front of her footsteps, looked at Mama Yang and asked.

"Yes, the little ladies love to play, today first in our house to enjoy the plum blossoms, at noon our three ladies and four ladies ordered the Yanzhen view of vegetarian fast, ate vegetarian fast, to Yingxiang Pond release, almost to the winter solstice, a few days later, Yingxiang Pond will be crowded with water."

Mama Yang asked one question and answered ten questions, and was very attentive.

Li Ran sighed softly, solemnly thanked Mama Yang, and got into the car.

Mama Yang was solemnly thanked by Li Ran, Xie was surprised by her surprise, and she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and hurriedly signaled that the coachman could go, and she ran a few steps to the car behind her and went to Cao's mansion.

Li Ran got out of the car at the second gate of Caofu, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the sixth lady, Wang Ji.

Wang Yi greeted him with a smile, "What a coincidence, I just got out of the car and saw the girl." ”

Li Ran smiled and bent her knees according to Wang Ji's appearance, "Thank you." ”

She knew it wasn't a coincidence, but she had come here to wait for her.

When Wang Ji heard Li Ran's words of thanks, his eyebrows raised, sighed, and laughed, "The girl is really ...... I'll introduce to the girl, this is the third lady of the Cao family, with a single name. ”

Wang Ji was halfway through laughing, and when he saw the Cao family sisters coming up, he hurriedly introduced Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at Cao Yao carefully.

This is the sister of the second grandmother of the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, the two sisters look very similar, but the second grandmother looks much more refreshing, and the third lady looks extremely soft.

Cao Yao obviously lifted her heart, her expression was nervous and subtle, and with Wang Yao's introduction, she bent her knees to salute.

"This is the fourth lady of the Cao family, Cao Qian." Wang Ji then introduced Cao Siniang, who was half a step behind.

Li Ran bent his knees and bowed his head to meet Cao Sanniang, and with Wang Yan's introduction, he looked at Cao Siniang.

Cao Siniang was staring at Li Ran with wide eyes, full of curiosity.

This fourth lady is obviously much more bold and lively than the third lady, and she is a deeply loved child at first glance.

"My sister is so beautiful." As soon as Wang Ji's words fell, Cao Siniang exclaimed first.

She didn't go to the Chongyang Palace banquet, when Li Ran went to the Hejian County Mansion for the first time, she went, but Li Ran had been in the warm pavilion, with the old lady and the ladies, she couldn't see it, Huo Wenlin invited a treat, her mother-in-law Mrs. Wu said that she was too young and ignorant, and she didn't dare to let her go, this was the first time she saw Li Ran.

"The fourth lady is better-looking, and the third lady is also good-looking." Li Ran smiled.

She used to be very good-looking, but whenever someone complimented her on her good looks, she always replied like this, and nothing went wrong.

Except for Lin Hui praising her once, she replied that he was better-looking, Lin Hui bent over and stretched out his head, his face almost on her face, and he kept asking questions with a smile on his face; "Really? Where is it pretty? Eye? It's deep, isn't it? The lips are beautiful too, right......"

"My sister is really good at talking, and my third sister and I are just not ugly. Sister, can you really not talk for days? Don't say a word? Really? ”

In the legend about Li Ran, being able to say a few words a day without saying a word is the most incomprehensible to Cao Siniang, and now seeing Li Ran smiling and looking very amiable, I couldn't help it, and blurted out a question.

"It's Miao Niang's car, right?"

Without waiting for Cao Siniang's question, Wang Ji pointed to the two mothers-in-law who trotted out to pull the cart in and interrupted with a smile.

Cao Sanniang quietly pulled Cao Siniang, Cao Siniang stuck out the tip of her tongue and hurriedly answered; "Seems so."

"I'll just accompany Miss Li in." Wang Ji then smiled, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to let Li Ran enter the Moon Cave Gate.

After taking a few steps, Wang Yi leaned in slightly, looked at Li Ran's face carefully, pursed his lips and smiled: "The girl is really good." ”

"Huh?" Li Ran was stunned, and then smiled: "It's not that you have a good bearing, but if you change me, you're probably very curious." ”

After a pause, Li Ran continued: "There is a little girl in Cuiweiju, no matter when I see her, she is talking, I really want to ask her, after saying so many words, does her throat hurt?" Thirsty or not? ”

Wang burst out laughing.

"I'm afraid that she will think that I am blaming her, so I have not dared to ask, and I must ask if I have the opportunity in the future." Li Ran continued.

Wang Ji laughed for a while before speaking, "Actually, you are quite easy-going. ”

"Hmm." Li Ran hummed plausibly, "I don't know too much, and I don't know more." ”

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "They said, you all went to the clean room and bent over to wipe your teeth and wash your face?" ”

Li Ran was stunned, "Well, otherwise? How do you rub your teeth? How do I wash my face? ”

Wang's stunned mouth almost opened, and he finally suppressed the stunnedness, but he didn't know how to answer Li Ran's question.

Li Ran looked at Wang Ji for a moment, looked away, looked at the flowers and plants in the distance, and the servant woman who was standing with her hands hanging her head not far away, and said gossipingly: "I don't even know what to call others, such as Chang'an Hou, what should I call him?" Last time I went to the palace of Hejian County, I could see that Mrs. Huo was very entangled in how to call me, isn't it good to call me a girl, why is it so entangled? ”

Wang Ji sighed as if he didn't have anything, and said with a forced smile: "The Marquis and Mrs. of the Marquis of Chang'an, the third lady is called Daddy and Auntie, the grandmother of the old lady, and the third lady is called the grandmother, you,"

Wang Ji paused, "If you feel too close, you can call your father and mother, and you can call your grandmother." Also, like me, with our identity, calling Chang'an Hou is a bit disrespectful, mostly talking about Hou Ye, or Chang'an Hou Mansion Li Hou Ye.

Calling a girl in person has a more or less bottom-to-top meaning, such as the people in your house, that Aunt Zhou, they all call you girl. ”

When Li Ran heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, and he looked at Wang Ji, "What about you?" ”

She kept calling her girl.

"Well, it's appropriate to call you girl, in me." Wang Yi lowered his eyes and bowed slightly.

"It's that I don't understand, it's abrupt. You call me by my name, or Ah Ran, I heard Mrs. Huo call me that. Li Ran also lowered her eyes and bowed, and returned the salute.

"The Marquis of Chang'an Mansion doesn't give you a genealogy, nor does it give you a ranking, which is difficult for many people." Wang Ji turned sideways slightly, slightly avoided Li Ran's return salute, and smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Li Ran hummed lowly.

"Let's get there early, let's go over there and go over there.

The house of the Cao family is the retirement place of a Hanlin bachelor in the previous dynasty, and the Hanlin bachelor spent ten years building this house, eight of which were spent on this garden, which is worth seeing, just gossiping. ”

Wang Ji pointed to a road next to him and smiled with Li Ran.

Li Ran smiled and turned to the path indicated by Wang Ji.

"The Cao family is also a scholarly family, but, according to the words of the old lady in their house, it is always so bad. In the past 100 years, it has been even more bumpy.

The old lady of the Cao family is surnamed Wu, three out of seventy this year, and she is from a businessman's background, which is not simple.

Mrs. Wu's husband, Mrs. Cao's great-grandfather, was given death because he was involved in the dispute for the crown and was implicated in the party dispute, and the Cao family was deeply hit, and by the time Mrs. Cao, the Cao family was already in danger.

Mrs. Cao's father took a fancy to Mrs. Wu's extraordinary knowledge, courage and resourcefulness, and did not care about the identity of the Wu family's merchants, so he asked to marry Mrs. Wu for his son. ”

Wang Ji paused, looked at Li Ran and explained: "At that time, the Cao family watched all the way down, and there were girls who were almost the same as the Cao family, similar to Mrs. Wu, or even better than Mrs. Wu, but, with the situation of the Cao family at that time, Mrs. Cao was not a very outstanding person. ”

Li Ran nodded, this, she understood it too well.

When the door is right, the two sides must also be equal to each other.

A good woman is a bad man, and in terms of money, a good woman must marry with her head up, and vice versa.

That was also the biggest reason why Lin Jing was so angry that he wanted to kill her.

Lin Hui is good-looking, interesting, extraordinary, impeccable, she has nothing but people, why does she climb Lin Hui?

She is not worthy of Lin Hui, and she is not worthy of their Lin family.

"When Mrs. Cao was thirty years old, she got the envoy of the county order of Lintong County, and in the year of her arrival, a chaotic army arrived in Lintong. At that time, the world had not been peaceful for many years. Old lady Wu was frightened, mishandled, and died in the chaos herself. ”

Li Ran sighed.

"When Mrs. Cao went to work, Mrs. Wu had just given birth to her second son and couldn't follow her.

The next year after Taizu occupied this place, Mrs. Wu moved here with her two sons.

At that time, it was just in time for Taizu to recruit the family, the eldest master of the Cao family had just turned ten years old at that time, and Mrs. Wu sent him to apply, Taizu asked about his family background, accepted him, and let him follow to learn the documents. ”

Wang Ji paused and said with a smile: "As Mrs. Wu said, the Cao family is always so bad, the eldest and second masters of the Cao family are excellent opportunities, but they are very ordinary.

Now, the eldest master of the Cao family is working as a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and the second master is the prefect outside, and Mrs. Wu and the wife have said once or twice, saying that her two sons have a future like this, and if they go up, they can't bear it, but they will invite trouble.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu's grandchildren are not bad.

The eldest son and two daughters of the Cao family, the eldest daughter Cao Qian, is the princess of the Wangfu of Hejian County.

The eldest son, Cao Wei, was given the background of Jinshi, and ordered the county order of a medium-sized county, and now he is in office, I heard that it is very good, but what is going on, it will take a few years to see.

The second son, Cao Ming, is the prince's companion and is ready to take the path of the imperial examination, and his father said that he has a middle-class appearance. ”

Wang Ji looked at Li Ran, who was listening attentively, and changed the topic and asked: "The second lady of the Chang'an Hou Mansion is my third sister-in-law, do you know this?" ”

Li Ran was very surprised and shook her head hurriedly.

"It's the matchmaker of the mother's mother, the third brother said that it was the prince's meaning, and the third brother is also the prince's companion, and he is also preparing for next year's Spring Festival." Wang Wei sighed lowly, "Weng Weng said, the emperor and the crown prince both hope that people like us will be closer to people like the Marquis of Chang'an, and it is best to marry, Weng Weng said, it should indeed be so." ”
