"Old lady, Mrs. let us pass the word, because there is something important to do, it is inconvenient to send each other, it is really lazy, here are a few clothes and some snacks and fruits or something, please accept the old lady, or throw away or leave your old man's will, just a little bit of Madame's heart, I hope the old lady will not dislike it."

The girl caught up and said, putting the burden on the donkey cart.

The old lady said how dare she dare, and at the same time took out some broken silver from her sleeve and rewarded the two girls.

The two girls smiled and took it, thanked her, but pointed to Ruan Jiao, who had already gotten into the car and sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruan, don't be in a hurry to get in the car, Madame said that she is really destined for you, if you are willing, let the slaves and maids ask the old lady to let the girl stay in the house for two days." ”

Ruan Jiao looked at the old lady, and the old lady nodded with a smile on her face: "This is a happy event, why not, trouble the two eldest sisters to tell Madame, this is Miss Ruan's creation, but if you don't want to, just stay." ”

The two girls saluted together and said with a smile: "The old lady is really a cheerful person, the slave maid has thanked you for my wife first." ”

"Miss Ruan, just stay, don't worry about home." The old lady instructed Ruan Jiao to get out of the car.

Ruan Jiao got out of the car, but the second grandmother also got out of the car, and smiled at the two girls: "Two sisters, can I say a few words to Miss Ruan?" ”

"Grandma, please." The two girls replied with a smile and took two steps back.

Feng Shi took Ruan Jiao's hand, and before he could speak, his eyes turned red first.

"The second grandmother has something to do, just command." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"Miss Ruan, Mrs. County Zun loves you, now only you can save Ping'er's life, please raise your hand and help Ping'er say a few more good words in front of Mrs., even if you can't marry the young master of the county family, can you help her find a rich family?" The second aunt has given you a salute here. ”

Feng Shi said, to be blessed, Ruan Jiao hurriedly grabbed her, and said urgently: "Second grandmother Hugh wants to be like this, if she gets the opportunity, Ruan Jiao will definitely mention it to her wife, and I also hope that Ping'er will marry a good family and enjoy happiness." ”

Feng Shi looked grateful, groped in his sleeve for a long time, and then took Ruan Jiao's hand, quietly handed a note to her palm, and said in a low voice: "Please, Miss Ruan, don't refuse, if you refuse, it will make me uneasy." ”

Ruan Jiao couldn't entangle with her in front of everyone, so she had to hold the meeting tightly and smile to reassure her.

Feng Fang looked at her reluctantly, boarded the car, and the coachman shouted and drove the car up.

"Miss Ruan, after speaking, the car is also gone, come with us." The two girls came forward to take Ruan Jiao's hand and smiled.

Ruan Jiao followed them into the backyard, and saw that Mrs. Xianzun was sitting and drinking tea in a gazebo, and when she saw her, she smiled and waved at her.

Ruan Jiao walked over, blessed with a blessing, and said with a smile: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, I am really grateful for giving Ruan Jiao the opportunity to come out and relax." ”

"Come, sit down next to me and have tea." Mrs. County took her hand, asked her to sit beside her, and ordered the girl to pour tea.

Ruan Jiao stood up, thanked the girl who poured the tea, and sat down again.

Mrs. County Zun nodded and smiled: "Miss Ruan, I see that your all-round style is not like you said, your parents are just ordinary squires, there must be a background, yes or no?" ”

Ruan Jiao hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, the folk girl is not lying, her parents are really rich in the countryside, but when the mother of the folk girl was alive, she had very high requirements for the folk girl, and she taught the folk girl to read and write since she was three years old, and since the age of four, she invited a special teacher to teach the folk girl etiquette, and I just hoped that the folk girl could have a good life in the future, but I never thought that there were unforeseen circumstances, because of a typhoid fever, the two of them abandoned me early. ”

Mrs. Xianzun hugged her into her arms, rubbed her, and said with a smile: "Look at me as a foolish person, what do you do when you mention some sad things, you only live here with me, let's talk about ourselves, although I also have two daughters, but they are married, and I can't see each other a few times a year." There is nothing to be done! ”

"If there is anything to do, Madame, just go and I'll walk around the garden." Ruan Jiao heard her say that she wanted to accompany the distinguished guest at the banquet, and she was afraid that she would delay her because of herself, so she persuaded her.

Mrs. Xianzun let go of her, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I just saw that the atmosphere at the table was not right, and it was boring to sit down, so I borrowed the stubble and walked away, so that they could leave freely and not cause trouble." ”

"Madame is clever." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"It's nothing, but it's actually a bit of a problem, just now a good sister of mine came to play with me, and took a fancy to the box of rouge you gave me, I didn't give it, she was going to live or die, and she fought with her for a long time, she just refused to say it, I really took it, I feel distressed!" Mrs. County Zun patted her thigh, with a look of genuine pity and unwillingness.

Ruan Jiao hurriedly smiled and comforted her: "Madam, I promise to make a box of peony-scented rouge paste for you, and I will never break my promise, just right, you have everything here, it will be more convenient to make it, and within three days, I will keep a box of you who you like." ”

When Mrs. Xianzun heard this, she was overjoyed, and ordered the girls to bring pen and paper so that she could write down the things she needed and let the servants at home buy them according to the list.

Madame personally studied the ink, Ruan Jiao took the pen and wrote down the things she needed, dried the ink, and handed it to her.

Mrs. Xianzun spread the list with both hands, and kept nodding with a smile on her face: "Good words, I thought that the words I wrote were the best here, but I never thought that Miss Ruan's words were better than mine, good words......"

Ruan Jiao heard her praise like this, and only then did she understand that she wanted to write her own list, not really to buy things, but to try her handwriting, thinking of this, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, feeling that Mrs. Xianzun left herself, not just to help her make a box of rouge, but for a while she couldn't think of what purpose she could have.

Mrs. County Zun handed over the list to the girls, and then took Ruan Jiao around the garden and gossiped.

The scenery in this garden is beautiful, and there is a long corridor full of vines to avoid the sun, but it is also very cool and comfortable, Ruan Jiao unconsciously let go of her mood and showed a happy smile.

The two walked to the edge of the pond, and Mrs. County Zun pointed to a pair of mandarin ducks in the middle of the pond and smiled: "Look, these mandarin ducks are both right, but they don't envy others!" ”

Ruan Jiao's heart moved, and she seemed to understand what Madame meant by trying her, but she was not sure.

But I heard Mrs. continue to laugh and say: "Miss Ruan, this kind of scenery always makes people have the urge to make poems, but unfortunately although my father is a Hanlin, I haven't learned half of his old man's talent, but I can't do this poetry, can you make poems?" ”

Ruan Jiao smiled and nodded, responded, and casually said a quatrain that suited the situation.

"Ah, Miss Ruan, it's really a good poem!" The county lady clapped her hands and sighed.

"Mrs. has won the award, and the folk girl has only cared about her livelihood in the past two years, but she has left these poetry books, and the poems she made are only afraid that they are crude and unbearable, which makes Mrs. laugh." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

Mrs. Xianzun nodded, but said with a smile: "Don't look at me in this poem, my youngest son is a year, he is only one year older than you, studying in the county, Mr. always praises him for his lack of talent, crooked and more than enough, and even the old Confucian, who has read books for decades, is convinced, you just make a poem, I will give it to him, let him comment on it." ”

Ruan Jiao understood this, and couldn't help laughing dumbly, in addition to being kind and friendly, this county lady was even informal, afraid that this was to say goodbye to her son, so she said the truth timidly, when her father was alive, she had already made a marriage contract for herself.

When Mrs. County heard this, she clapped her hands regretfully, and said regretfully: "That is the case, then that's it, I was originally optimistic about a person, and I was a match for you, and I planned to find a matchmaker to go to the Gu family to propose marriage in the next few days." ”

"Ruan Jiaofu is blessed, and she has lost the good intentions of her wife." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

"This kid, what is there, if you don't dislike it, how about you recognize me as a godmother? No matter how many girls there are, I don't have too many girls! It's all my little padded jacket. Mrs. Xianzun took her in her arms and said with a smile.

Ruan Jiao hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, and called her godmother with a smile.

The happy county lady smiled happily, hugged her and screamed at the baby.

The two walked around for a while, and then a girl came to call, saying that the master was back.

When Mrs. Xianzun heard this, she took her hand and came to the front hall, and said with a smile: "Good girl, come with me to see the master, your godfather is also a person who loves girls, every time I think of the two daughters in the capital, I will shed tears, if I know that I recognize you as a girl, I will definitely like it." ”

Ruan Jiao couldn't refuse, so she had to be pulled into the front hall by her.

The county respected Huang Yunhuang was changing into homely casual clothes, sitting at the table drinking tea, and saw Mrs. pulling a little lady like a flower and jade in, and hurriedly got up and smiled: "Madam, but you met a bosom friend again?" ”

"Jiao'er, kneel down, I've seen my father!" The lady smiled and pushed Ruan Jiao forward.

Ruan Jiao knelt down with her clothes and called out with a red face: "Father." ”

Old Man Huang looked at his wife dumbfounded, with a look of horror on his face.

"The children have called you, you should respond quickly!" Madame walked up to him, tugged at his sleeve, and sneered.

Master Huang came back to his senses and made a deep compilation of her, the sweat on his forehead ran down his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Madam! My Huang Yun's sincerity to you can be seen, as evidenced by the sun and the moon, although the husband has been alone for a few years because he is an official, but you are the only one who thinks about the husband! In the husband's heart, no matter how big the world is, no matter how many women there are, it is not enough, and you are the only one in the husband's heart! I've never been close to another woman, and where is my daughter! Madame Mingjian, Mingjian! ”

Mrs. Huang hid her face and giggled, clenched her hands into fists and slapped his shoulder: "Master, where do you want to go!" This is the goddaughter I just recognized! I'm her godmother, aren't you her godfather, what's wrong with calling you a father? ”

When Huang Yun heard this, his face relaxed, he stretched his sleeves to wipe his sweat, walked to Ruan Jiao with a smile, helped her up, looked her up and down, nodded and smiled: "Okay, good, what a handsome girl, three points more handsome than Rong'er and Xi'er, I, Huang Yun, am really a blessing from my previous life, and I have such a blessing in this life!" ”

As he spoke, he shouted and ordered the little guy who followed him to come in and get the greeting gift.
