Speaking of which, Ruan Cailing and Qingrui, who had experienced some twists and turns, returned to the Dingguo Mansion, but unexpectedly saw five carriages parked at the door of their house.

Fan Hua, the chief administrator of the Ruan Mansion, was standing in front of the gate, directing a group of servants to carry down the luggage on the carriage.

Ruan Cailing thought to herself, what other distinguished guests are coming to this mansion?

"Uncle Fan, but a guest is coming?"

Fan Hua was busy all afternoon, and he was so irritable that he opened his mouth and scolded, "Which one doesn't have long eyes?" Don't you see that the manager is busy? Be careful that you can't eat ......."

The scolding was getting up, and when he turned around, it was indeed Ruan Cailing's face that caught his eye, and he choked for a while.

Ruan Cailing looked at him with a smile: "Uncle Fan's temper is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Fan Hua wiped his cold sweat and laughed dryly, "Miss, forgive me, I thought it was a slave who didn't have long eyes, but I didn't expect it to be Miss, so it's ......"

"No problem."

Ruan Cailing didn't bother with him about this, and asked, "Is there a distinguished guest visiting this mansion?" ”

Fan Hua nodded yes, "The adult of my aunt's family received a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Officials a few days ago, saying that he was promoted to the rank of courtier, and a large family went to Beijing to take up a post. ”

Auntie? Ruan Cailing rummaged through the memories of this person, thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered that there was indeed such a thing in her previous life.

This aunt is the daughter of her great-grandmother, and not long after she married a wealthy merchant in Suzhou, she lived a prosperous life, but she did not have much contact with Ruan's mansion.

In her previous life, at this time, all her thoughts were on Xie Qingyuan, and she didn't care about other things at all, but she had never seen this so-called aunt and grandmother.

Thinking of this, Ruan Cailing nodded, "I see, Uncle Fan, you continue to be busy." ”

Raised her feet and walked into the mansion, as the young lady of the Ruan Mansion, there was a guest in the house, and there was no reason for her to not receive it.

Turning through the long corridor, Ruan Cailing stepped into the hall.

Seeing someone enter, the chatter in the room suddenly stopped, and they all looked towards the door.

The girl has a good appearance, smiling and smiling, and her walking movements are as if she has been trained countless times in front of the mirror, and she is so elegant that she is not like words.

Ruan Cailing looked around, the spacious hall was crowded with people, and there was an old woman sitting on the main seat, all dressed luxuriously and stereotypically, looking like a very sophisticated person.

Under the old woman, on the left sat Cheng Lisheng, the uncle of the Cheng family, and on the right sat Ruan Cailing's mother-in-law, Ruan Su, and a young woman, Ruan Cailing guessed that it should be the wife of the Cheng family uncle, and further down, there were several young ladies and young masters.

"Ling'er." Seeing that the girl was coming, Ruan Sushi took the lead and greeted him with a smile, "Come and see your aunt and cousin."

Ruan Cailing followed behind Ruan Su's as she said, and blessed her body, "Aunt and grandmother, cousin and uncle." ”

Mrs. Cheng responded lukewarmly, "Hmm." ”

Then he looked her up and down, and said to Ruan Sushi: "Your girl's shelf is quite big, and the elders have been here for so long before they came out to visit." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Sushi was a little embarrassed, so he had to accompany him with a smile.

Ruan Cailing smiled, "Grandma misunderstood, Ling'er went out today, and she just came back, so it's late." ”

Snorted coldly, Mrs. Cheng looked like she was relying on the old and selling the old, "Miss's family, it's not good to stay in the house, and you show up all day long, like something." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed.

"Mother, you don't have to say a word." Cheng Lisheng secretly glanced at the Cheng Lin clan next to him.

Cheng Lin, who was sitting below, accepted her husband's meaning, got up and started a round, "Hehe, don't blame Madame, my old lady has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and she has no other meaning." ”

Ruan Xuchen, who was sitting on the side, frowned unhappily.

Ruan Sushi, who has always been good-tempered, also darkened his face, and his tone became bad, "What did my aunt say?" My Ling'er went out to buy the pastries that I and Hou Ye love to eat, and this piece of filial piety alone is incomparable to any young lady! ”

This Ruan Su has always been such a character, it is okay to teach her a lesson, teach her daughter, don't blame her for turning her face.

Ruan Cailing looked at her mother-in-law funny, in order to protect herself, making up nonsense seriously.

"It's not like that!" was rejected by Ruan Su's mouth, and Mrs. Cheng's face became very ugly, and she didn't know if the three words "not like words" were talking about Ruan Su's or scolding Ruan Cailing.

Old Madam Cheng scolded sharply: "What about Ruan Qi? Why is there still no one to see? Don't you take my aunt seriously? ”

Aunt? Are you the aunt of the family? Ruan Cailing was disdainful.

This old lady's style is really unpleasant, how can there be a reason to be a guest at someone's house and reprimand the host? If you are really a businessman who has never seen the world, you can't get on the stage.

Ruan Cailing said lightly: "Grandma said it was funny, why didn't my father take you seriously?" It's just that my father, as a national prince from the first grade, is busy with official affairs, and he can't get away for a while. ”

What this means is that my father is a dignified first-class official, like your son, but he is just a six-grade courtier, of course, he is idle and has nothing to do.

Old Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Lisheng husband and wife which is a fuel-efficient lamp, of course, understood the meaning of Ruan Cailing's words, and their faces were even more ugly.

Ruan Su's heart was very proud, and his daughter was really angry.

Just when the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, the little man at the door ran in and reported: "Madam, the master is back." ”

Ruan Sushi was in a good mood at the moment because of his daughter's counterattack, and smiled: "Auntie, cousin, please move to the courtyard, I have prepared a banquet for your aunt." ”

Old Madam Cheng nodded reluctantly, and glared at Ruan Cailing secretly, and the dissatisfaction with Ruan Cailing deepened in her heart.

Receiving Old Madam Cheng's resentful gaze, Ruan Cailing shook her head helplessly.

She was a little glad that she had never dealt with this old woman in her previous life, and if she wanted to change to the soft bun-like self in her previous life, she was afraid that she would not even be able to speak if she was bullied.

Fortunately, this family is only borrowing for a while, and when they find a suitable mansion, they will naturally move out.

However, according to the temperament of Mrs. Cheng, I am afraid that this Dingguo Mansion will not be peaceful for many days.

In this way, the master and the maid, a large group of people walked vigorously into the courtyard.

The meal was very peaceful, except for the old lady Cheng sneering from time to time, nothing else happened.

After the banquet was over, Ruan Cailing returned to her courtyard.
