Ruoyan laughed as if she had heard some joke: "Luo Hansheng, you ask yourself if you believe this."

Luo Hansheng didn't respond, since Ruoyan thought of him like this, then she wouldn't believe anything he said. Years of deep love are as ridiculous as a joke in front of Ruoyan.

"Don't you like begonia flowers the most? A few days ago, I just ordered someone to move back a few plants, and these days are the flowering period, so I'll take you to see them. Luo Hansheng changed the subject.

"What begonias?" If you are happy.

"Jin Yu Begonia, when the season comes, the fruit will be made for you to eat. Let's go, I'll show you. ”

Luo Hansheng stretched out his hand to Ruoyan, and seeing that Ruoyan ignored him, he withdrew his hand with a wry smile.

Begonias are planted in a nursery not far from Huayanyuan, and it is the flowering season, and the white flowers of a tree are flourishing.

Ruoyan looked at a tree of flowers in surprise and asked Luo Hansheng, "When did you move them into the mansion?"

"It's just a matter of the past few days, I think you might like it."

Ruoyan was stunned, and his fingertips stroked the jade petals. She leaned close to the flowers and sniffed them.

Luo Hansheng was a little stunned when he looked at it on the side, he knew that Ruoyan had been a beauty since he was a child, but he didn't expect Ruoyan's palm-sized face to be even more delicate against the backdrop of flowers, like a fairy.

Ruoyan noticed Luo Hansheng's gaze and chuckled: "Xiangye brought me here to see flowers or people?"

"Look at people, people are more delicate than flowers."

"Xiangye is talking like a disciple."

"Have some refreshments, there's still some time before the afternoon feast."

"Is Xiangye planning to gag me with food?"

"You say yes, yes. In the past two days, several new pastry chefs have been hired, and the refreshments made are exquisite and delicious. Taste it? ”

"But it's disrespectful."

Luo Hansheng looked at Ruoyan, his eyes were full of pampering: "Then I'll tell them to put them in the pavilion." You can enjoy the flowers here. ”

"Okay." Ruoyan smiled sweetly, "Then Ruoyan can just wait to eat." ”

"Okay." Luo Hansheng smiled softly, turned around and beckoned his subordinates to bring the refreshments to the pavilion.

The refreshments were quickly served, and Ruoyan pinched a piece of begonia cake and put it in her mouth. The pastry melts in your mouth and has a creamy texture that is really delicious.

"The pastry chef invited by Xiangye is really good."

"If you like it."

Ruoyan picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "It's just that it can't compare to the pastries I ate in the Yun family back then." The taste is really far from good. ”

"Yan'er, I know you hate me. But isn't that good enough for me these days? Why do you always have to choke with me? ”

Ruoyan finished drinking the tea in his hand, stood up, and said with a cool smile: "Xiangye will say this, it's because it's not Xiangye who is ruined." The gap from the high-flying Miss Yun Er to the famous singer in the theater is unknown to Xiangye, and the pain I have experienced is also something that Xiangye has never suffered. In this way, Xiangye said, how should Ruoyan treat you? ”

Luo Hansheng pursed his lips and put down the teacup in his hand: "It's not early, I'll go to the front hall to welcome guests." You eat slowly. ”

"Hmm." Ruoyan replied softly.

Looking at Luo Hansheng's lonely back, Ruoyan paused with his hand holding the begonia cake.

Her brother Sheng is no longer the gentle boy who would gently coax her to accompany her. Today's Luo Hansheng is a high-ranking prime minister and her enemy. The affection of my youth is ridiculous now.

Every time she listened to Luo Hansheng's sister when he introduced her outside, she felt sad. When she was a child, her Sheng brother said that he wanted to marry her. But now, she has become a younger sister. The corners of Ruoyan's lips hooked up a cool smile. Put the begonia cake back on the plate.

Lian'er, who rushed to serve, saw that the master was no longer eating, so she asked, "Miss, do you want to remove the pastries?"

"Pull it down. Lian'er, you go back to the yard with me to change your clothes. In another hour the feast will begin. Ruoyan stood up and said with a smile.

"Yes." Lian'er beckoned her subordinates to remove the pastries from the pavilion and followed Ruoyan back to Huayan Courtyard.

Ruoyan opened the suitcase sent by Luo Hansheng, picked a lilac waist-length skirt, and paired it with a lilac large-sleeved shirt embroidered with begonias. The slender curves and posture are charming and moving, and there is a compelling extravagance. Lian'er couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss is really a natural beauty, she looks really good in this outfit."

"What's the use of looking good? After all, it's a cold life. ”

Lian'er was so shocked that she knelt on the ground with a plop of surprise: "Miss, don't think so, now Miss is Xiangye's most painful sister." These days, Xiangye has seen the good minions of the young lady, which is a great blessing! How can Miss's life be cold? ”

"Don't always kneel at every turn, I don't like to see people kneel down to me." Ruoyan picked up Lian'er, her expression was indifferent, "What about Luo Hansheng's baby's sister?" He treasures me when he's happy, but if one day he doesn't get upset, how do I deal with myself? After all, his life is still thin, and his life is never in his hands. ”

Lian'er looked sad when she saw her master, and her heart became uncomfortable. She was afraid of Ruoyan at first, but after a few days of getting along, she found that this master still had a good temperament and never treated her harshly. She really wanted to serve Ruoyan well. But seeing that the master was sad, she didn't even know how to persuade her.

Ruoyan sighed, straightened the hem of her skirt, and pulled up a smile: "Let's go, it's time for the banquet."

Lian'er opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything, and lowered her head to follow Ruoyan.

I have to say that Luo Hansheng's banquet to welcome his sister was huge, and the carriage of the guests at the door alone blocked the road. Gifts filled the entire courtyard.

When Ruoyan took Lian'er to the door, Luo Hansheng and the housekeeper were greeting the visitors with a smile.

She walked behind Luo Hansheng and called softly, "Brother."

Luo Hansheng turned around and rubbed the top of her hair: "Why are you here?"

"Come and have a look."

At this time, Wang Shangshu, the official department, entered the mansion with a gift, and a smile on his face was full of smiles and saluted Luo Hansheng: "There is Lao Xiangye to welcome him from afar, today is really congratulations to Xiangye."

"Where, Wang Shangshu is willing to come, and the humble house is shining." Luo Hansheng said politely.

Saying that, Wang Shangshu saw Ruoyan standing next to Luo Hansheng, and couldn't help asking, "This is the second miss?"

Ruoyan smiled and bowed: "I've seen Wang Shangshu."

"It's really a beauty, and Xiangye is really a blessing." Wang Shangshu smiled.

"Wang Shangshu is serious, if the face is just a little bit of beauty, how can it be called a brother's blessing."

"The second lady is too modest, after so many years, it is not easy for Xiangye to find such a beautiful sister."

Luo Hansheng looked at the sky, and greeted with a smile: "It's time for a banquet, let's go, don't let everyone wait."

"Please."

"Please."

Ruoyan took Lian'er and followed Luo Hansheng and Wang Shangshu to the back garden. The guests were already seated and chatting. Seeing Luo Hansheng coming with his sister, the guests got up and saluted: "I've seen Xiangye."

Luo Hansheng hung up a warm smile: "Today is to celebrate the good day of finding my sister in Xia, you don't have to be formal."

Ruoyan followed Luo Hansheng and sat on the main seat of the first table under the stage.

The maidservant brought the delicacies to the table one by one, and the feast began.

The gongs and drums on the stage opened. A sentence "Busy place to throw people away and idle place to live." I thought about it, but there was no place for pleasure. The day wears out the intestines" sounded. sang the fold "Peony Pavilion" in the four dreams of Linchuan.

Ruoyan glanced at the stage and didn't look again, lowered his head and drank tea. It's not that she doesn't like this play, it's that the people who sing the play don't like her - Lin Wuniang was found by Xiao Yi at some point, standing on the stage and babbling and singing.

After three rounds of drinking, some officials came to toast. Although Ruoyan didn't like these false courtesies, she still smiled and picked up the wine glass to salute Luo Hansheng together.

After a few times, Ruoyan was a little tired, she stood up and saluted the guests at the table, and said with a forced smile: "Adults forgive your sins." If you can't drink enough, you want to retreat first. ”

"If you drink too much, you can go back and rest first, it's good to have me here." Luo Hansheng patted Ruoyan's hand and said with concern.

Ruoyan owes a debt and takes Lian'er back to Huayan Courtyard.

I didn't know that I had just arrived at the door, but I was stopped.

The girl who stopped her was beautiful, with a white and tender little face still a little childish, and a goose-yellow skirt ringing and jingling, looking like it should be an official lady among today's guests.

"You're Brother Sheng's sister?" The girl asked proudly with a small face.

Brother Sheng, the name is really intimate, Ruoyan Wan'er smiled: "I don't know who the girl is?"

"I'm Xiao Qi, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites." The girl hugged her arms and proudly reported to herself, "She is also the woman who will marry Brother Sheng in the future." ”

Listening to the girl's self-introduction, Ruoyan laughed out loud. Who should she be, it turned out to be the second lady in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, the rumored sister of Xiao Yibahu.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Qi frowned.

"It's nothing, who should I be, it turned out to be the noble daughter of the Xiao family. I don't know what Miss Xiao is doing to Ruoyan? ”

"I heard that Brother Sheng is very partial to you, and you are allowed to live in Huayan Courtyard?" Xiao Qi asked with a frown.

"How?" Ruoyan raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Qi raised his hand and fanned it against Ruoyan's face. But Ruoyan is not a master to be messed with, she firmly grabbed Xiao Qi's wrist before the slap fell.

"Miss Xiao, what do you mean? Is it wild in the Prime Minister's House? Ruoyan had a trace of anger on her face, she didn't expect Xiao Qi to just take a look at her and start with her.

"Huayan Courtyard is a courtyard built by Brother Sheng himself, and only I can live in that courtyard. What are you? It's just a wild girl who doesn't know where to find it, and she deserves to fight with me? Xiao Qi tugged back at her wrist and glared at Ruoyan fiercely.

Ruoyan laughed angrily, she raised the corners of her lips and looked at Xiao Qi with a playful expression: "Then you go and ask my brother to move Huayan Courtyard to you to live." It's just that I don't know if Miss Xiao wants to live in someone else's house before she leaves. ”

"You!" Xiao Qi was furious, raised his hand and wanted to fight again. Ruoyan slapped her raised hand away. She looked at Xiao Qi with a smile: "Miss Xiao didn't hit me in the first slap, do you still want to slap me in the second slap?"

After speaking, Ruoyan clapped her hands, as if she had something dirty on her hands: "I am also acquainted with Brother Ling, and I don't want to meet Miss Xiao in general today, so please Miss Xiao be a little self-aware." If a man loves you, how can he fight for something? Whatever you want, he offers with both hands. ”

Xiao Qi glared at Ruoyan, and her eyebrows were full of resentment. She sneered and mocked, "You're just here for a moment." It's just a sister. I don't believe that Brother Sheng will spoil you all the time. When I became the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first thing I did was to marry you off. ”

"The premise must also be that Miss Xiao marries into the Prime Minister's Mansion." Ruoyan raised her eyebrows, turned around and took Lian'er into the courtyard gate.

Lian'er glanced at Xiao Qi and closed the courtyard door tightly.

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, seeing that there was nothing she could do about Ruoyan, even a maid dared to ignore her, and left angrily.

After Lian'er closed the courtyard door, she hurriedly said to Ruoyan: "The second miss provoked Miss Xiao, so if Miss Xiao really marries into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, how can the second miss live."
