Wen Xiu did not live in the east chamber, but rested in the west chamber.

In the middle of the night, when the second master came back, Gu Xiaofeng lit the lamp and quietly got up to watch, but there was no sound at all, which made her puzzled.

Ruan Jiao got up from the toilet, and saw Gu Xiaofeng lying on the window looking out with sleepy eyes, and suddenly she was completely sleepy, reached out and poked her, and asked quietly: "Is there a trouble?" ”

Gu Xiaofeng shook his head: "This is something that can't be done!" When did the second sister-in-law change her heart? ”

Ruan Jiao was sad in her heart: "Auntie, the second grandmother is a mother after all, maybe it's for Ping'er, at this time, if you want to make these housework, won't it have an impact on Ping'er's marriage?" Presumably, Mrs. County doesn't want her future daughter-in-law to be unhappy, right? ”

Gu Xiaofeng pulled down the window and sighed: "There is nothing to do, she takes it seriously, you don't want to think about it, how can the young master of the county family fall in love with an ordinary girl like us?" It is still possible to say that it is the two girls of the eldest brother's family, after all, the eldest brother is a six-grade official in the capital. ”

The two gossiped for a while, and the sky lit up.

Gu Xiaofeng fell asleep, but Ruan Jiao couldn't lie down, got up and went to the well to freshen up, her head had not yet passed, and she saw the second grandmother coming out of the house, seeing her, she hurriedly shrank back.

Ruan Jiao was sharp-eyed, and when she saw her two black eyes, she couldn't help sighing.

After a while, Feng Shi held a brand new shirt in his hand and turned out again.

"Second grandma early." Ruan Jiao asked her.

Feng Shi smiled on his face, and sent the clothes to her: "Miss Ruan, this set of silk clothes is specially made for you by me, and I will wear the new clothes to the banquet today." ”

Ruan Jiao was about to excuse herself and say that she had it, but when she saw Gu Xiaofeng coming out of the house with a button, she said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, it's hard for you to think about Ruan Yatou, she will be regarded as a guest of the county lady in the future, it's time to buy a few good clothes, I'll take it for her first, and go into the house to talk." ”

The smile on Feng's face was the same as on his face, and he entered Gu Xiaofeng's house with his clothes in his hands.

Ruan Jiao finished washing and entered the house, Feng Shi was wiping her tears with the placket of her clothes, and when she saw her come in, she stopped and pulled her to try on clothes.

This is about for Ping'er, Ruan Jiao is the same size as Ping'er, and it fits tightly when she wears it, saving Gu Xiaofeng from changing it.

"Miss Ruan, I want to trouble you to put on Ping'er's makeup." Feng said in a hoarse voice.

Ruan Jiao nodded in response, but said with a smile: "Second grandma, it's easy for me to put makeup on Ping'er, but if it's really for marriage, Ruan Jiao still thinks that no makeup is good for talents, after all, if it really happens, you have to be seen by your husband's family as a true face, and if there is a mistake at that time, everyone will not be able to explain." ”

"It's okay, the lady who sells flowers still has two or two heads of oil, if it really happens, the sedan chair is carried into the door, it is his family, and he doesn't like it?" Feng replied.

Ruan Jiao glanced at her, wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly realized that the Feng family wanted to let Ping'er climb to become rich, it didn't seem that it was for her daughter to live a good life in the future, but to sell a piece of goods, dressed up streamer and slippery, just to sell it for a good price, as for how the buyer treats the goods, it is not the most important.

"Miss Ruan, by the way, help the second sister-in-law figure it out, you look at her black-eyed, how can she go out." Gu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to say.

Feng Shi hurriedly stretched out his hands and rubbed his eyes, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's really heartbreaking for Ping'er these days, this dead girl is really stupid, I have learned everything I watched on the side, she and the master have not learned, it's really sad!" ”

"Second grandmother, in fact, as long as Ping'er is happy, there is no need to marry into a big family, it is good that men and women weave are different?" Ruan Jiao took out the makeup case and said.

When Feng Shi heard this, his face sank, and he sneered: "Miss Ruan, you are really right, you are a beautiful girl, and you will definitely marry into a serious family in the future. ”

"What does she know about a girl's family, she hasn't settled yet, but she worries about others! Don't listen to her, wait for me to teach her a lesson. Gu Xiaofeng pushed her out of the door, turned around and glanced at Ruan Jiao, making her silent.

Ruan Jiao nodded slightly, feeling sorry for Ping'er in her heart.

Ruan Jiao adjusted the rouge cream, and was about to find Ping'er, but saw Gu Zhun holding a large porcelain bowl in his hand, cautiously came to the room, hurriedly opened the curtain for him, took the bowl in his hand, put it on the table, and casually took two pieces of sesame candy on the plate on the table and stuffed it to him, and said with a smile: "Why did you call you, beware of burning your hands, you can't write, the master palms your palms!" ”

"Miss Ruan, my mother asked my aunt and you to drink it while it was hot, it won't be sweet when it's cold, this is a freshly ground rice noodle fried burnt noodles, and it's extra sweet when it's hot." Gu Zhun said as he put the hemp candy in his pocket, but he was touching something in his sleeve.

"But there are still good things for Sister Ruan?" Ruan Jiao teased him.

He really nodded: "Yes, it's okay, it's just tightly wrapped, I can't see it." ”

Ruan Jiao lifted his sleeve, snatched the thing in his hand, stuffed it into his sleeve indiscriminately, his face turned slightly red, and said softly: "Tell your brother, don't teach me like this in private in the future, I'm going to be angry." ”

Gu Zhun grinned and grimaced at her: "Your face is red, what is this angry, obviously shy, I didn't say that it was sent to you by my eldest brother, what are you guilty of?" I'm clearly waiting for this thing. I'll go back and tell my eldest brother to go, you took the things, and the powder was pink and peachy, and it looked good. ”

"Little killer, see if I don't break your head!" Ruan Jiao was ridiculed by him, she was anxious, she raised her fist and scared him to hit him, Gu Zhun grinned, held his head in his hands, and ran out of the house with a smoke.

Ruan Jiao walked to the side of the kang, stood against the wall, opened the tightly sealed paper bag, and revealed a yellow satin sachet. There was no embroidery on it, but it was full of drawings and writing.

She raised it to the front of her eyes and painted a pond, and a girl with a horn was sitting on a stone by the pond, holding her hands on her cheeks and admiring the lotus flowers in the pond.

The clothes and eyes looked familiar, and it was clearly herself!

Ruan Jiao blushed, took a sip of the sachet, and threw it on the kang hard, for a while, but then reached out and picked it up, stuck it to her chest, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She hesitated for a while, looked for scissors to open the pouch, wanted to see what Gu Ming put in it, put osmanthus is certain, she is from the south, like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, as the name knows, no matter what fan noodles or Luo Pa gave her, it is smoked with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

It's just that this sachet feels like a sand and a sand from the outside, and it seems that there is something else besides dried osmanthus.

She opened it, and sure enough, there was a paper folded flying crane inside, and the flying crane only had the word "peace" written on its wings.

She didn't give up and took apart the entire Feihe, but there were only two words: peace.

Ruan Jiao slowly returned Feihe's wish, and tears fell with her.

Gu Ming's mind she understood that it was not perfunctory to her, only these two words were written, but from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that she was safe, and she didn't care about the rest.

"Fool, I'm afraid that when you are nominated for the gold list and wear red and gold, you have long forgotten that you have met a girl surnamed Ruan." Ruan Jiao sighed sadly, re-sewed the mouth of the sachet, hid it in the pocket of her underwear coat, dug up some fat powder to cover her crying red eyes first, and then went out with the box.

Ping'er was already fully dressed, just waiting for her to come over and put on makeup.

"Miss Ruan, look at my three-bun comb, okay? Rui Aunt combs. She had just come back from home this morning, and she hadn't changed her clothes, so she clung to the hair she had combed first. ”

When Ping'er saw Ruan Jiao walking in, she ran over and took her hand and said with a smile.

She is very forgetful, completely forgetting the hardships of learning the rules yesterday, and now she is smiling again.

This Aunt Rui is the second grandmother's marriage, relying on the second grandmother's mother's family to have some power, she shouts at home on weekdays, and wants to take care of everything.

If it weren't for Gu Xiaofeng's frequent use of the old lady to scare her, Ruan Jiao would have to suffer from her idleness.

This old woman, Ruan Jiao dislikes it very much, but she is a very loyal person, and she is wholeheartedly good to her second grandmother and Ping'er.

Therefore, Ping'er regarded her as a confidant, even closer than her mother.

"It's so pretty, when you learn it, comb one for me." Ruan Jiao sat on the chair, looked at her, and smiled.

"What's this, I'll ask Aunt Rui to come in and comb one for you." Ping'er stretched out her hand to open the curtain to call someone, but Ruan Jiao hurriedly stopped her, touched her combed bun and smiled:

"Don't bother her, I think I rushed back overnight, let her rest, you don't know that I am a person who protects my hair, let others comb it for me, as soon as the comb is on the head, I feel that the scalp hurts, so I can't comb it myself, so I have to comb it myself."

Ping'er stepped forward to hug her, rubbing her head on her shoulder, and her voice was a little sad: "Miss Ruan, my mother whispered to me last night that I am afraid that the eight characters of the county master and the young master of the county are closed, and after today, I am afraid that this marriage will be decided." ”

"Ah, this is a good thing, congratulations to the young lady, and please ask the young lady to help me more in the future." Ruan Jiao pushed her away, got up to salute, and smiled.

Ping'er pouted, looking unhappy: "People take you as a bosom friend, tell you everything, you are good, you know that you are making fun of me, Ming'er and I died in the county family, see if you still laugh." ”

"Hugh wants to say such unlucky things, what's wrong with the county family, do they still have three heads and six arms? What is there to be afraid of, just be generous, and if you don't believe it, you can eat you. Ruan Jiao stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and said with a smile.

Ping'er tore her hand away and sat down in front of the dresser in a daze, Ruan Jiao stepped forward to put on her makeup and coaxed her: "Shall I give you a peach blossom makeup today?" ”

"What is Peach Blossom Makeup?" Ping'er asked her with a raised face.

"The makeup I just came up with, do you remember the peach blossoms that bloomed in Shilipo in the spring? The powder is delicate and white, it is really pleasing to people, and it makes people feel pity when they look at it, I, I just mixed a kind of rouge, put it on my face, and keep your little face as cute and pitiful as the blooming peach blossoms. Ruan Jiao adjusted the rouge in her hand and replied to her with a smile.
