"You said you never went to your grandmother's house?" Xiaobai couldn't help but be surprised, this Haixing was only a little more than a month's distance from Xiyue City, why didn't Mrs. Ruan take their brother and sister back?

Ruan Yuluo nodded, and said: "If it weren't for this time my mother asked me to accompany Aunt Chu back to Wulian Mountain, I haven't been out of Haixing when I'm so big, my brother is the best among the disciples of the school, but every year at the Spring Festival, my mother used an excuse to stay at home with an excuse of physical discomfort, and I wasn't even allowed to take the big test, and now I'm twenty years old, and I'm still reading those boring books in the school, I also thought about it, I won't participate in the big test, and after graduating this year, I'll go to sea to see." ”

Xiao Bai likes such an open-minded personality very much, "Although I don't know what Mrs. Ruan thinks, but fortunately, your brother didn't go to this year's Spring Festival, and it has been open for several months, who can stand it!" I'm afraid that the emperor's eyes are not very good when he is old, and he has to use enough strength to sit on the high wall to see the students from all over the world clearly one by one! I have a good sister who has been sick since she came back from Xiyue City. ”

Ruan Yuanluo couldn't help laughing and said: "I've heard a little about it in the academy, and those who came back were all seriously ill, and there were even a few who didn't come back." But this time the opportunity is rare, and the students who were not invited in previous years have also been invited. So no matter how the emperor wants to look at it or in what way he looks at it, he is riveting and energetic. ”

"If you perform well, will you be able to reach the sky in one step? It's really the emperor who chooses a concubine there! Xiaobai laughed, she had too much dissatisfaction with this Spring Festival party in her stomach, anyway, the emperor couldn't hear it, and when she met someone who could talk, she didn't have any scruples.

It's just that Changyu Youle's face has changed a little, he secretly glanced at Feng Mi, and there was nothing unusual about it, so he was relieved.

"I haven't heard of this, but I've heard that there are a lot of competitions, so now there are a lot of talented people." Ruan Yuanluo said with a smile.

Xiaobai nodded, "My friend won a first place, and the prize was a string of water glass, and I don't know what the competition is." ”

Changyu Youle secretly exclaimed, "It's the girl who plays the tune with the leaves." He did not show up, but heard that a girl from a small place had blown a song by Lord Xingchen with a leaf, which made the emperor very happy, and won the championship in one fell swoop.

"I know! So you're friends, huh? Ruan Yuanluo was very excited, "Although I didn't go, but they all told me, the string of water glass you said should be the first prize of the musical instrument competition, I heard that the competition was very strange, the emperor was tired of listening to the ordinary guqin and flute, and he had to ask the students to play some strange instruments." ”

"Strange?" Xiao Bai frowned slightly and thought for a while, picked up a leaf at his feet, and said with a smile: "Is this strange enough?" Ruan Yuanluo's smile froze, and she heard Xiaobai say again: "If I also participated, would I be the first name?" She put the leaves to her lips, and a melodious tune slowly came out.

She didn't know how shocked the three people who heard her tune at this moment were.

"How could you do this?"

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you like it?" I can teach you, I taught Wen Juan before. ”

"Wen Juan?"

"It's the eldest lady of the Lin family who I told you and has been helping me."

Ruan Yuanluo's expression was solemn, and she said: "The name is so similar, she won't have a brother, just called Lin Wenhai, right?" ”

"yes. He was recently rewarded by the garrison for fundraising, have you heard about it? ”

Ruan Yuanluo was slightly stunned, and said straight after a while: "It's hard not to hear about such a big movement." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, Ruan Yuanluo kept looking down at her restless hands, and a figure suddenly surged into Xiao Bai's mind, the lady below had gold engraved with a private seal, what could it be?

"I like you." Ruan Yuluo suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiaobai solemnly, "Your stupid appearance of being grateful is too similar to him." Let me tell you the truth, Cai Lingguo belongs to Aunt Chu, and she is also the former princess of the county. Lin Wenhai was very angry about the things he did to Cai Lingguo. ”

Xiaobai had goosebumps all over her body, she was nervous and didn't know what to say, she bit her lip, thinking that Lin Wenhai was really in trouble this time.

Although the Lin family has some power in Hui County, who still knows the people of the Lin family when they get out of that city gate? Although the county prince's mansion has not done anything over the years, it has said nothing in Haixing, and it is also said in front of the emperor, even if it is a former princess of the county, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and her son is a dignified son, no matter which one is Lin Wenhai can't provoke.

This damn Wang Yanlin! Xiaobai blinked, and tears welled up. wanted to excuse Lin Wenhai a few words, but she and Ruan Yuanluo could only be regarded as ordinary friends at first sight, even if they really whispered a few words, she couldn't think that she had really become her friend, she was self-aware.

The night breeze blew across the silent rooftop, blowing into the corners of Feng Mi's cold eyes, and he blinked gently, adding a touch of unclear emotion to his eyes.

"It's pathetic." Nagayu Yule sighed, not knowing who he was talking about.

Xiaobai's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made Ruan Yuanluo feel some sympathy, which was too similar to Guo Zhaoyang, who knew that Wen Qing was not good to him, but couldn't say it.

After staying with Chu Cailing for more than half a day, she never knew how to mention Guo Zhaoyang's affairs, her mother let her not worry about whether she would say the wrong thing, but she couldn't really say something inappropriate to make Chu Cailing uncomfortable, and now she found a topic, "Xiaobai, you can never know the darkness of people's hearts." ”

"What if none of this was his idea?" Looking at Ruan Yuanluo's eyes, Xiaobai gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe he was also deceived by someone?" ”

"By whom?"

"Wang Yanlin, President of the Hui County Chamber of Commerce! He wants his nephew to take over the chairman's position, and Young Master Lin has a hard time! It wasn't his idea! ”

Ruan Yuanluo couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so excited?" Don't... Is he your sweetheart? ”

"Of course not!" Xiao Bai hurriedly shook his head, and the gloom in his eyes flashed, "The Lin family is kind to me, how can I have such thoughts?" I just don't want him to be wronged, even if I don't have the ability to explain it to everyone, at least when someone mentions it to me, I want to tell a few words. ”

"What if everything he says to you is false?"

"I still want to believe him."

Ruan Yuanluo sighed slightly, leaned on Xiaobai's shoulder, and said softly: "It's good to be trusted unconditionally by a person." ”

There was a shallow sobbing sound from Xiaobai in the air, Feng Mi jumped to other tree trunks, and said softly: "I heard that there is a pine forest circling in Huicheng, right?" I've been in the Imperial Palace for too long, so I should come out and enjoy the scenery. ”

Changyu Youle was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't ask much, but said, "Why don't you go and welcome guests to eat something, there is good wine there." ”

"Don't go!" Unexpectedly, Feng Mi refused.

.....

At dawn the next day, Xiaobai opened the store on time and found that Ruan Yuanluo was asleep on the table, so he walked over and woke her up, saying, "I got up too early, I will be sad to hurry later." ”

Ruan Yuanluo rubbed her eyes, not sleeping all night really made her a little uncomfortable, but Aunt Chu sighed all night next door, and she didn't feel sleepy.

"I'm going to make breakfast now, you go back to your room and sleep for a while, okay, let the girl call you, don't be disobedient, it's really going to be very uncomfortable later." Xiaobai put a cup of hot tea in front of her, turned around and went to the kitchen, and didn't say anything about what he didn't finish last night. But the person in front of the table didn't move, she had just left home, everything seemed exciting, but in fact, the strangeness made her a little scared.

Chu Cailing was lying on the bed tossing and turning, her mind in a mess.

Cherry saw that the sky was already bright, and boldly opened the window, and said: "The owner of the museum, I didn't find it when I passed by last time, the scenery of this welcome guest is really good, or the slave maid will accompany the owner to go out for a walk, the roses in the yard have opened, and now is the time to look good." ”

"Cherry." Peach pushed the door in, gently scolded her, and put the copper basin with hot water on the shelf, "You go and see if the little white girl needs help, there are many of us, and she is afraid that she will not be able to cook breakfast for so many people alone." Seeing that Cherry was reluctant to go out, Peach pushed her harder.

"Cherry, go take a look." Chu Cailing lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed, and motioned for Peach to come over and wait for the change. The cherries retreated, Chu Cailing thought about it, and seemed to have the impression that there was such a dish with a very mild taste, which made her eat a lot.

In the kitchen, Xiaobai is in full swing.

Cherry stood at the kitchen door and shouted at her, Xiaobai turned her head and saw her standing there with a smile and looking at her, her heart was a little hairy, she remembered the last time she saw this maid, she was a domineering appearance, and now it seems that she remembered it wrong, so approachable. She wanted to explain to Chu Cailing, but how to explain it so that she wouldn't misunderstand Lin Wenhai?

"Sister Cherry, why are you here?" Xiaobai said hello, and the movements of her hands did not stop, this pot of lotus root pork rib soup has been stewed all night, and she can add some ingredients to get out of the pot.

"The owner asked me to see if I could help you."

"Breakfast is ready, Miss Luo and the Chu Pavilion Master's share can be sent later. If my sister doesn't bother, she will put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and call everyone to eat. ”

"Little white girl, you are really capable. Then I'm going to set the dishes. ”

Dishes and chopsticks are placed on the shelves behind the counter every day, so they are ready to use and hygienic. There were more than twenty people in the entourage, and there were enough tables to be set up.

Xiaobai put the pork rib soup that had just come out of the pot in the soup pot and put it on the table one by one, and prepared one for each of the big fours, sweet steamed buns and pumpkin cakes.

Just as I wanted to go into the kitchen to prepare Chu Cailing's portion, a person walked in at the door.
