Because the old lady was in a good mood, she took the whole family leave, saying that if you want to follow to the county seat, just follow it, and if you want to stay at home, you just have to go shopping, and you don't have to do anything.

Gu Zhun was a child, and when he heard that he was going to the county seat, he happily pulled Gu Mingyang and begged him to go to his husband to take leave.

As the name suggests, pack your bookbag and go out.

"You're not going?" Liu asked him.

Gu Ming shook his head: "If you don't go, the exam will be taken soon, and there is nothing wrong with studying a few more times." ”

"Didn't Sir say that you would be able to pass the test?" Liu asked again.

Gu Ming smiled: "That's so, it's just that there are absolutes in everything, and you have to study more." ”

Liu fumbled with the satin gown on his body, and tears couldn't help but fall.

"Mother, but the silk given by my aunt and grandmother is not good?" Gu Ming asked hurriedly.

Liu wiped away his tears and shook his head: "What's wrong with silk?" Your mother has worn such good clothes for the first time in her life, but she still borrows other people's light, but she can't buy it herself, you always have to fight for me, so that I can also afford to buy such materials to make clothes to wear. ”

Gu Ming exhaled slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have passed the exam this time, and I will be able to take the township exam next year, and when I win the lift, what kind of clothes you want to wear can't." ”

Chunhua walked in and urged, saying that Miss Ruan was putting on makeup on the old lady, and it was okay to see it, so she asked the grandmother to hurry out.

As the name suggested, he made a deep compilation to her and begged her: "Sister Chunhua, please take care of my mother more, she doesn't go out often, and there are some things that are not thoughtful, so I annoy my sister to remind her more." ”

Chunhua covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at what the eldest young master said, this is the duty of a slave, it should be, you can only rest assured, I will." ”

Gu Ming walked out of the door with her, and before his mother went out, he took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and stuffed them into her, and laughed in a low voice: "Good sister, don't happen to the last time, this time everyone will go together, if someone treats my mother slowly, please tell the old lady, if the old lady is not available, just tell Miss Ruan, she has a good heart, and she will definitely stand up for my mother." ”

Chunhua took the money, put it away, and grinned: "The old lady may not be able to take care of it, Miss Ruan will definitely take care of it, and the eldest young master just puts his heart in his stomach." ”

Gu Ming blushed and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's Miss Ruan, she has a good heart......"

"Okay, young master, the slave doesn't mean anything else, I'm going in to serve the grandmother, let's go quickly, Mr. will be annoyed when it's late." Haruka smiled and pushed Gu Ming out the door.

When I turned around, I saw the old lady holding Ruan Jiao's hand and coming out of the house, followed by Gu Xiaofeng and Ping'er.

Ping'er is wearing a brand-new dress, she is really as delicate as a jade by Ruan Jiao, her face is like a peach blossom, her lips are like a kodan, her eyebrows are in her temples, her eyes are shy, she is a beautiful girl, and she almost looks stupid at Spring Flower.

"Chunhua, how is grandma? Do you want Miss Ruan to help her make up her face? Gu Xiaofeng approached and asked her.

Chunhua came back to her senses, shook her head, pointed at Ping'er, and smiled at the old lady: "Old lady, Miss Ping is really reborn and compares Miss Ruan to the bottom." ”

"It's far worse than Miss Ruan, but it's many times stronger than those country girls." The old lady said with a slight triumph.

Feng came out of the house with his head slippery, and smiled from ear to ear: "Old lady, my mother's brother just asked someone to bring me a letter to say that the county family is drafting a detailed post and looking for a matchmaker to come to the house to make a post." ”

"Ahh That's a big deal! Chrysanthemum, you hurry up and get two more rulers and four gold and silver bills. The old lady smiled and commanded in a loud voice.

The whole family was immediately overjoyed, but Ping'er only stood by the wall, her fingernails picking at the cracks in the wall, and there was no joy on her face.

Ruan Jiao went over and took her hand and congratulated her.

"What's the joy? Married is only suffering. Ping'er said coldly.

Ruan Jiao hugged her and laughed in a low voice: "I haven't seen anyone, why do you have to suffer?" The young master trained by the county family is not bad if he thinks it is bad, isn't it a hundred times better than you marrying a rude village man? ”

"Miss Ruan, I really mistook you as a confidant, what's wrong with the villager? As long as you know the cold and the heat, and know that it hurts, you are no worse than those young masters! If you look at my aunt, you will know that when the second wife was alive, she wanted her aunt to marry a big family, but she got married, and she was driven back with a clean body?

Look at Aunt Liu next door, her husband is dead, she has no children, her mother's family dislikes her as a broom star, and refuses to let her come to the door, but her mother-in-law Grandma Liang does not dislike it, so she stays at home to live together. Now that she has come out, the brother-in-law has made money in business, and he respects her very much, and he has money for his mother, and he never forgets to give his sister-in-law another one, saying that the family lost her! Grandma Liang didn't care about her remarrying, saying that if she had a good family, she just had to marry, and she didn't stop her! also bought her a dowry, so that she could marry beautifully!

This is a poor family! How good it is to be alive like this! Miss Ruan, you are from everyone, you can't help it, you have to live as a noble lady with a bowl on your head and water on your shoulders, I am different, I was born in the countryside, I am a country girl, I want to live an ordinary life like Grandma Liang's house. ”

Ping'er chattered, Ruan Jiao was stupid, and Chrysanthemum shouted at the gate to get them into the car quickly, just waiting for the two of them.

Ruan Jiao pulled her out of the door, got into the car, and wanted to ask her what her plans were, but she had no choice but to sit with everyone and couldn't speak.

After walking for about an hour, Fang arrived at the county seat, and the donkey cart stopped until the gate of the county yamen.

The old lady hurriedly got out of the car, and she didn't need to be helped by chrysanthemums, and hurriedly gave a gift, even claiming guilty.

Mrs. Xianzun hurriedly helped her up and gave her a gift, and then smiled: "Old lady, you are polite, speaking of which, my father-in-law is a subordinate of Ling Lang, and he has neglected to pay a visit in the past two years, and I ask the old lady to forgive me." ”

The old lady took her hand and spoke modestly.

Ruan Jiao took the opportunity to look at this county lady, and saw that she had white and tender skin, a plump figure, a goose egg face, cherry lips, hanging eyebrows, a pink face with spring and no show, and Dan lips before smiling. It's really a first-class beauty. Look at her dressing up, it is really good, with a high crown and a long comb, a fetal deerskin crown, a gorgeous costume, silk and satin, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, new and wonderful beauty.

"Which one is Ruan Jiao, Miss Ruan?" After the county lady and Mrs. Gu finished greeting, they went straight to Ruan Jiao's name to find someone.

Ruan Jiao stepped forward, gave a salute without humility or arrogance, and responded.

Mrs. Xianzun took her hand, looked her up and down, nodded and smiled: "It's really good, it's a big family." ”

"Madame is just an orphan living in the house of her father's classmate." Ruan Jiao was humble.

Mrs. County Zun turned around and instructed the two girls who followed: "Take Old Madam Gu and everyone to sit at the back." ”

The two girls responded, stepped forward to salute, and led the old ladies into the door.

Mrs. Xianzun said a word of invitation and let the old lady in, but she took Ruan Jiao's hand, but refused to let go, and the parents asked her some old things.

Ruan Jiao replied one by one, and when Mrs. County heard her say that her parents died, she also raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and her face was sad.

"Madam, thanks to the Gu family uncle bringing me back, I have to take care of Mrs. Gu and the upper and lower people in the past two years to live such a comfortable life, and there is nothing to complain about." Ruan Jiao saw her crying, so she said with a smile.

The old lady walked in front, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "It's hard for Miss Ruan to say good things for the old woman, I'm just afraid of the countryside, the people in the countryside are not careful, and Miss Ruan is not worried." ”

Everyone was talking, and they were led by the girls to the back garden of the county government.

The banquet held by the county lady is here.

Gu has a long way to go, and at the latest, several of the invited draft girls in the county town have arrived, and they are gathering in twos and threes to talk or laugh. From afar, when they saw Mrs. Zun of the county coming, they all gathered around to say hello.

Only then did Mrs. County Zun let go of Ruan Jiao's hand and greeted everyone, and when she was done, she saw Ping'er who was following behind the second grandmother, and couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but it looks better and better." ”

"Mrs. Hui, the eighteenth change of the female university, the more she changes, the better she looks." The second grandmother stepped forward to give a salute and replied.

Mrs. Xianzun smiled and let them take care of themselves and play for a while, so that they could sit down.

Everyone responded, and went to play with people they knew well.

Ruan Jiao pulled Ping'er to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. County.

"What did Madame call me?" Ruan Jiao walked over and asked with a smile.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you." Mrs. Xianzun took her hand, came to her bedroom in the back hall, ordered the girl to offer tea, and asked her who she had learned and where she had learned the art of makeup.

"Mrs. Hui, it's just idle and figured it out alone, fortunately, the sisters of the Gu family are used to me and let me practice on them, so that I can get into your eyes." Ruan Jiao said with a smile.

The county lady praised again and again, praising her for being a fairy, but Ruan Jiao was just modest.

"The other day you put on my cousin's makeup, it's amazing, I've seen the fat powder on her face. It's definitely not a vulgar fat powder sold on the market, don't hide it from the girl, although my father-in-law is a petty official, but there are familiar people in the court, and you can get one or two tributes. Mrs. Xianzun smiled.

Ruan Jiao took out the rouge that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve, handed it to her with both hands, and said with a smile: "Madam, look at this, this is also my own concoction." ”

Mrs. Xianzun took it, found it, picked a little nail and evened it on the back of her hand, lowered her head and sniffed, and exclaimed: "What a osmanthus fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and the powder is so delicate and not floating, it is really refreshing and pleasing to the eye, you are amazing fat powder, Miss Ruan." ”

"But what's there, but it's made out to play in her spare time, what does Madame like? I'll make a box for my wife. Ruan Jiao hid her face and smiled.
