The pale skirts kept brushing across the white and shiny curved bridge, and the maids walked with brightly colored lanterns in their hands, talking and laughing with each other, and a small wind blew, blowing their silver bell-like laughter into the ears of Ruan Miaoling and Cao Qin, who had just entered the garden.

A few strong and thick maids had already placed a wooden ladder under the corridor, waiting for the beautiful maids who were as light as swallows to come and hang the lanterns.

"It's so good-looking, my aunt's vision is very unique!"

On the other side of the porch, a few lanterns painted with peach blossoms in rouge had been hung, and Ruan Miaoling faintly saw some crooked ink-colored lines on them, and it was impossible to identify the handwriting of everyone.

Cao Qin was the first to see the pink and white peach blossoms on the lanterns, and his ruddy lips were slightly open, as if he was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward curiously to ask for one.

"This kind of flower looks like a peach blossom, but it is not a peach blossom, and the petals are only painted with five petals, which is really rare."

Ruan Miaoling stepped forward and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't recognize what kind of variety it was, and then looked at the words on the lantern, several of which she recognized as "Jun", "Rain" and "Lu", and the rest were some strange words, as if they were removed from somewhere.

Just now, she also praised her aunt for her good vision.

"These lanterns, my aunt has seen them?" Ruan Miaoling asked the two delicate maids.

Seeing the incomprehension in her and Cao Qin's eyes, the maid pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, "The princess not only looked at it, but also looked at each lantern several times...... This kind of lantern was bought from the Wa Kingdom across the ocean this year, but the number was not large, and the princess saw that it was beautiful, so she bought all of them. ”

Cao Qin covered his mouth and leaned into Ruan Miaoling's ear and whispered: "When the emperor was here, he explicitly forbade trade with the Japanese state, and the princess suddenly transported so many lanterns to the palace, if she was sued by the science and Taoist officials, wouldn't it cause a big trouble!" ”

"That's what I said, but the more this kind of thing is prevented, the more forbidden it is, and the more prosperous it will be." Sending the two maids to hang the lanterns elsewhere first, Ruan Miaoling pulled Cao Qin to the pavilion and sat down.

It is built on a hill with sparkling water below, and as far as the eye can see, you can see many delicate ginger flowers blooming among the green grass.

"Your family is engaged in a land-based business, and I am afraid that I have only occasionally heard from others that there is another kind of merchant who makes a business at sea, and they have to live at sea for at least half of the year, and most of the places they go to are the Wa Kingdom. We took our silk to the Wa Kingdom and sold it, and from there we bought things that were not available in our country, such as swords, folding fans, and lanterns that we saw. ”

Cao Qin's eyes lit up, "How do you know such details, but you've been there?" ”

"The people who go to the sea are all men who are five big and three rough and don't get seasick, I'm seasick, and it's a woman, how can I get there?"

These are all things that Xu Yuan told her.

For a while, Xu Yuan was not at home, and Jin Ting didn't know where to go, so he asked Xu Xuan and Xu Heng father and son to take a look, and they promised to wait for three or five days to ask, but they asked if there was such a thing? She really had no choice, so she could only send someone to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to inquire, but there was no news, and Qin Jie was like evaporating from the world at that time, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was also looking for him.

After three months, everyone was rumoring that Xu Yuan might no longer be alive, and her patience was gradually worn out, and she no longer sent people to find her.

Ruan Miaoyi had just given birth to a child at that time, and after the confinement was over, she ran to her courtyard and persuaded her to remarry openly and secretly, saying that it was for her good.

In order to get Xu Yuan's share of the family property, Ruan Miaoyi even invited a matchmaker to come, told nonsense with her eyes open, and praised the other party as if Pan An was reincarnated.

asked someone to check immediately, and the object Ruan Miaoyi looked for for her was either missing an arm, a leg, or an eye...... Wen'er couldn't bear it anymore, and beat Ruan Miaoyi in front of everyone, Xu Heng came to the rescue, and beat him too.

On the second day, Xu Heng was ruthless to sell Wen'er, and at this time Xu Yuan finally came back, and even Ruan Miaoling almost didn't recognize him with his unkempt appearance.

She asked a few times, but Xu Yuan still refused to say, but told her what many Japanese people looked like, what their accents were, and what they ate all year round was different from that of the Central Plains, and the words they wrote were also different...... She thought that he had gone to the Wa Kingdom for a while, and she didn't ask again.

"What do you think, so engrossed?" Cao Qin pushed Ruan Miaoling, frowned at her for a while, and grinned for a while, "Aren't you in love with someone?" ”

Ruan Miaoling said angrily: "How can I have it, I'm thinking about something else." ”

"Clearly, there is!" Cao Qin insisted and said: "It is written in the book that on a certain day, a certain month, which family's young lady sits under the moon in the wing, holding her cheeks with her hands, thinking about the things of the old year, and thinking about the Lang of the coming year." ”

"Not really, if you don't believe me, I'm in a hurry with you!" Ruan Miaoling took a handkerchief and slapped her.

Where did you think about it? It's just because Xu Yuan had a memory with her in the past that he touched that point, and he couldn't help but think of it.

For seven years, I have feelings for raising potted flowers and plants, not to mention two people in the same room.

She has always nurtured Xu Yuan as a budding flower, how can she have other ideas?

Besides, the girl Xu Yuan likes is like Ruan Miaoyi, who is delicate and coquettish, she is always cold in front of him, like a mother teaching a child, will he like it?

Cao Qin dodged everywhere and couldn't stop teasing Ruan Miaoling, "It's clear that there is, otherwise what are you blushing, tell me whose handsome son it is, I'll palm your eyes for you!" ”

"Say it again, believe it or not, I'll tear your little mouth apart, and call your husband to dislike you in the future!" Ruan Miaoling rushed over.

Cao Qin was so frightened that he ran down the hill with his skirt.

"That's great, what I'm most dissatisfied with is this mouth, you tear it up, I'll go to the divine doctor to change it for me to a better looking ......" Cao Qin turned around and grimaced at Ruan Miaoling while running, and suddenly saw her face frightened, and blurted out: "Be careful of your step-"

By the time Cao Qin came back to her senses, it was already too late, and she had already felt a sudden stinging pain in her instep, and her knees knelt forward uncontrollably.

If you roll like this, you will definitely fall into a pool without a guardrail!

Cao Qin's heart was pounding with fright, and she tried desperately to save herself, but the labor pain from her instep disrupted her thoughts and made her unable to think.

"Miss Cao beware!"

A warm and hot embrace caught her, and in an instant pushed her away.

Cao Qin only saw a pale blue figure fall into the pool with a "poof", and she didn't even see the person's face clearly.

Then she felt the sky spin and fell on the soft dirt, and Ruan Miaoling's exclamation came from the hill.
