"Even so, in order to catch the wind for the governor, Yipinxiang will also prepare a table of wine and delicacies to be sent to the governor's mansion to add color to tomorrow's reunion banquet." Mu Ruqing was silent, in fact, he used the banquet to support Ruan Mianmian, and what he ate in his mouth was a fragrant meal, who could be arrogant and disrespectful to Ruan Mianmian? Just watched how she was angry for Mrs. Jin.

On the second day, the governor entered Beijing, but the weather was somewhat unsatisfactory, it was from spring to summer, a sultry wind blew, followed by continuous rain.

Ruan Mianmian wore a powder blue thin cloak of Begonia Spring Sleep, and the begonia flowers inlaid with blue crystal were swayed and inserted on his head, leaving a few strands of soft long hair loose on his sideburns, and his eyebrows and eyes were clear, looking like a small jasper.

What she holds in her hand is an oil-paper umbrella with bamboo bones as the handle, and the surface of the umbrella is a weeping willow picture drawn by Jiang Xinyue herself.

Holding the lamp also followed, at this moment, he stood behind and looked at the back of his county lord, he really felt a little stunned, and couldn't help but look away, but found that Jin Jiaoyang, who was standing not far away, also looked here from time to time, and seemed to be very surprised by the dress of the county lord today. Looking at Jin Jiaoyang's appearance, he was happy for the county lord, he raised his chin, proud of his little master, and made the big iceberg Jin Jiaoyang show his appreciation.

Mrs. Jin and everyone didn't wait long at the gate of Jin's mansion when they saw a team of dusty carriages gradually approaching on the side of the long street. In front of them were four or five luxurious carriages, with wheels half a man's height, each pulled by two horses, and they drove very smoothly without any shaking. Behind is a long line of maids and a cart carrying salutes, the pomp is very large, Ruan Mianmian sees it in his eyes, but he doesn't think it's strange.

After all, the governor of Shandong is a local magistrate, not to mention the high level of wealth, the filial piety of the local officials in secret will not be less, and other people's money can be spent as much as they like, and it is not worth saying anything.

The carriage came to a steady stop in front of it, and the curtain on the front carriage was raised, and a middle-aged man in a long shirt came out, his eyebrows were almost exactly the same as Jin Jiaoyang's, although he looked old, he could still remind people of how graceful he was when he was young. Without the help of others, he got out of the car vigorously, stepped forward and patted Mrs. Jin on the shoulder, and said softly: "Madam, I haven't seen you for more than a month, I am very worried." ”

Mrs. Jin's smile still came from the heart: "My husband has worked hard all the way, I have prepared a reception banquet for my husband, and the family will have a meal later." ”

Immediately afterwards, two young bewitching women with red and willow green came down from the carriage behind, one was wearing a goose yellow horse-faced skirt, and the other was wearing a pink bijia with a long skirt of the same color, how bright and bright did they come, the head was also shining with gold, and the arm on the arm was also made of pure gold, Ruan Mianmian's eyelids jumped, I thought that this governor's favored concubine was very capable, but I didn't want to be so... Tacky.

Aunt Song and Aunt Zhou twisted their waists and walked gracefully behind the governor, smiled and greeted the governor first, and then Shi Shiran gave Mrs. Jin a perfunctory bow and bowed her body as a salute, and at first glance, she looked like she was not very respectful to the main room.

"This young lady is..."The governor still noticed Ruan Mianmian who was holding an umbrella on the side, and saw that she was not dressed like an ordinary person, and he was afraid of losing his manners, so he asked.

"Ah, this is..."Mrs. Jin was just about to open her mouth to introduce, Ruan Mianmian smiled and stopped Mrs. Jin's arm, and said to herself: "Ruan Mianmian, a fragrant restaurant, has seen the governor. After that, a slight tilt is counted as a salute.

Shandong Governor Jin Zhong is also an old fritter who has been mixed in officialdom for most of his life, although he is in Shandong, he always pays attention to the movements in the Beijing circle, which can ensure that he has been like a fish in water for decades, and his status is thriving, so he is more than others in observing words and appearances.

He listened to the news of the capital every day, and naturally knew the unique status of Yipin Xiang Restaurant, a double county lord, and they were all deeply favored by the queen mother, one level higher than the orthodox royal relatives, as soon as he heard Ruan Mianmian's name, he knew that this was the famous Ruliang county lord in front of him, so how dare he accept her courtesy, he immediately vainly floated, and said politely.

Jin Zhong saw that Ruan Mianmian didn't use the pomp of the county lord today, only brought a palace maid to serve, and she was dressed more plainly than her identity, knowing that she didn't want to show off her identity, so she didn't make a big salute, but arched her hand, but her expression was respectful, and she could be regarded as acting well.

"The governor is very polite, Mianmian has a very good personal relationship with the woman of your mansion, it is like old at first sight, today is just to visit, and Jin Gongzi is quite appreciated, and he should also celebrate." Ruan Mianmian smiled humbly, took half a step back, and only accepted his half salute.

How could Jin Zhong not hear the meaning of Ruan Mianmian's words, but he was also deliberately tempting, so he asked: "The dog has no rules since he was a child, and his knowledge is shallow, and it is just a fluke to enter the palace examination, how can it be said that he is quite appreciated?" ”

"Whoever Mianmian appreciates, the people behind Mianmian will appreciate whom, the future of the son is immeasurable, unparalleled in the world, and the achievements are still to come." Ruan Mianmian was still smiling, his eyes were quite meaningful, this sentence was almost explicit for Jin Zhong, and it immediately made him feel good.

"Okay, okay, what does it look like to talk at the door as soon as you get home, husband, come in with us, the banquet is ready, this time it is a meal prepared by Yipinxiang, and the husband also tastes the flavor of Beijing." Mrs. Jin saw that the greeting was almost over, so she affectionately took the governor's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard, Jin Jiaoyang and Ruan Mianmian also followed, and actually left the two aunts.

Aunt Song and Aunt Zhou saw that there were guests coming, they were just ordinary ladies, they were in the courtyard of the deep house, and they didn't know the situation in Beijing, they only thought that the governor just liked Ruan Mianmian's flattery to be so polite to her, and they were very angry in their hearts.

Coincidentally, Aunt Song just wanted to step forward and interject, but she didn't want Mrs. Jin to pull Jin Zhong away immediately, leaving them behind and stomping her feet in a hurry, so she had to trot over with her skirt and follow, not even caring about the children who had just gotten off the carriage.

After walking a few steps into the corridor, Jin Zhong always slowed down his pace, and talked to Ruan Mianmian from time to time, wanting to let her walk in front, Ruan Mianmian naturally refused, saying that he was young and a junior, and still let Jin Zhong and his wife walk side by side, she was slightly half a step slower.

Aunt Zhou saw that Mrs. Jin was holding the master on the right side, why did this little girl not know what to do, she actually dared to walk to the master's side, she naturally couldn't see Jin Zhongqian's actions in the back, she just thought that Ruan Mianmian didn't know how to trespass, plus Fang Cai's gang ignored herself, and immediately a burst of anger surged in her heart, and she was about to walk over and push Ruan Mianmian away to stand in that position.

As soon as she quickened her pace, Ruan Mianmian in front of her and followed behind her chuckled and suddenly put away the umbrella in her hand, and took it to her side and shook the water on the umbrella surface, just in front of Aunt Zhou, and the water droplets rolling down the umbrella immediately stained her goose-yellow skirt, and the dark water stains spread out on the fabric, which was particularly conspicuous.

Holding the lamp as if he hadn't noticed, he followed Ruan Mianmian casually after collecting the umbrella, blocking the side without a trace to prevent them from coming forward, and he didn't look back at the angry Aunt Zhou.

"You!" Aunt Zhou saw that a little maid dared to be so rude to herself, and she couldn't help but scold angrily, but when she looked up and saw that the old man was still not far ahead, she forcibly held back the words she was about to say, so she could only endure it herself and maintain her face.

But this voice was still heard by the people in front, the governor and his wife turned back to look at them together, Ruan Mianmian and Jin Jiaoyang also turned their heads and looked quietly, Jin Zhong saw the water stains on Aunt Zhou's skirt and her panicked expression, and asked directly: "What's the matter, you just shouted when you got home?" ”

"It's... Master~ The concubine's body is just wet with the water on the eaves, and if it is not tight, just change your clothes. "Aunt Zhou is indeed extraordinarily beautiful, and she is also first-class skilled in pretending to be pitiful, otherwise how can she be regarded as a drama?

Everyone ignored it and went straight to the main hall. The main hall is elegantly furnished, there is a large round table of solid wood in the middle, more than a dozen dishes have been placed at the moment, and the mandarin duck copper pot in the middle, which is even more hot and attractive in this humid rainy day.

Everyone sat down in different places, Ruan Mianmian was a guest, and his status was noble, although he didn't say it clearly, but he couldn't be lazy, so Jin Zhong tried his best to ask her to sit in the main seat, and she shirked for a while before sitting down in the side position, but it was also the seat second only to the main seat.

Aunt Zhou had already changed her clothes and came out, sitting with Aunt Song, seeing Ruan Mianmian being lifted, and she was a friend of the main room, so she wanted to make her embarrassed, so the face of the main room was not good-looking.

"Miss Ruan is really beautiful, she wants to come to the family to be pampered, and her official position is not low, right?" Aunt Zhou is used to grasping the tip to be strong, but she is not a stupid person, and she knows how to test her bottom line first.

"My aunt laughed, she sleeps at home, and she has no official position." Ruan Mianmian smiled leisurely, her big eyes full of sincerity. But she didn't deceive anyone, she was the lord of the county, and she really didn't have an official position, but she just had a title.

"Yo, the concubine thought it was a young lady from which family. I just heard the girl say that she is working in a restaurant? Aunt Song also accosted her, and followed the topic of Aunt Zhou.

"Yes, Mianmian is the food broadcast of Yipin Xiang Restaurant, and I live next door to the restaurant." Ruan Mianmian took a sip of the small mushroom soup with slippery eggs, her eyebrows and eyes crooked. It's just that next door to Yipinxiang is the county lord's mansion, hehe.

Although Jin Jiaoyang knew that Ruan Mianmian was here to vent her anger on her mother, she didn't know why she hid her identity like this, she only felt that this little girl was dressed quietly and weakly, but she was eccentric and had no taboos, which made people scratch their heads.
