said that she went out to see, Ruan Miaoling didn't go far, only walked around the long street of the post station, occasionally sold flowers, went up to take a few looks, and didn't spend money to buy it if it wasn't good.

There are rows of long polished stone bars piled up under the walls of the houses on the street, and the smith who picks a long wooden box rests there, fanning his straw hat and looking left and right. Some even sat on the steps in front of the door, and when people came out of the household, they didn't drive them away, and even smiled and greeted each other, and went their own way.

Ruan Miaoling saw the customs of Suiyan with her own eyes, and it was really different from other places, she felt that she had seen enough, and she couldn't bear to leave her mother alone in the post station to be bored, and she had the heart to return.

I don't want to have a half-old child hanging on the wall of a solid family in front of me, crying, the wall is next to a tall and prosperous tree, only to hear someone inside keep shouting, the child is so frightened that he can't listen to the words, only crying, must be naughty to climb the tree, but he didn't want to fall under the wall.

"The sun is scorching, the child's skin is fine and the flesh is tender and can't stand the sun, just take him off." Ruan Miaoling tightened under the umbrella.

Huang Ba hung two bottles of wine in his hand, and Qiu Daqian had a brocade box under his arm, so it was inconvenient to go. Huang Liang took a look, and then volunteered to jump on the wall and carry the naughty child to the ground.

The door of the honest family also opened at this time, and a man with a beard and a square scarf came out, pointed at the child and scolded: "If you don't learn well when you are young, you can pay it back when you grow up, but how can a clever and sensible child learn to steal and pick up people's things!" ”

Ruan Miaoling looked along the wall, and it turned out that the tree was wrapped with melon vines, and there were many emerald green cucumbers falling on it.

The child cried, "Whoever tells your cucumber to bear water and grow so tall wants to pick one and taste it!" ”

The man raised his hand to slap him in the mouth, and a woman with gray hair slowly stepped out of the door, still holding two cucumbers in her hands.

The man hurriedly helped, "Mother, my son is teaching him a lesson, you can just come and rest in the house." With that, he glared at the naughty child.

The woman waved her hand and pulled the man back behind her.

"There are two cucumbers here, take them and cut them into strips for everyone to eat, you only said that you invited them, and you must not show off in front of people that you stole them, you know?"

The child still had some aura before, but the woman's actions made him foggy, and he held the cucumber in his hand and asked, "Why can't you say that it was stolen?" I saw that the beggars who lived under the bridge and cave by the river also said the same, and those who had inherited his benefits praised him for his ability. ”

The woman asked, "Whose house did he steal?" ”

"He only said that it was a fish in the stream, not who raised it." The child replied.

The man in the scarf stepped forward and whispered a few words in the woman's ear.

"Oh, that's right." The woman said to the child with kind eyes, "The next time you see him bringing fish to others, you can secretly follow him and take a look." Give him your cucumber and ask him to eat a little, you can't do this kind of thing next time. It's good to meet my family, but the old men and wives of big families hate this kind of behavior the most, and when they see it, they want to call someone to chop off their hands and feet! ”

The child's face was so frightened that when she fled past Ruan Miaoling, she thought that she had called someone to save her, and said thank you softly, and squeezed into the crowd.

"Brother Huang, Miss ordered to go back!" Ask the umbrella and face Huang Liangdao.

When the woman heard the voice, she looked this way, and hurriedly grabbed her son's sleeve behind her, "Go and invite that young lady!" ”

The man wearing the square scarf chased after him, and Ruan Miaoling glanced back at the woman after hearing this, and turned back again.

"It's hot outside, it's not a place to talk, please sit inside, Miss." The woman turned sideways and asked Ruan Miaoling to go first.

Huang Liang originally refused to allow Ruan Miaoling to enter, and almost wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Ruan Miaoling had no intention of refusing, he had to follow silently behind, and at the same time gave Huang Ba and Qiu Daqian a look.

"Let a little guy go and see where the eldest brother has gone, and he won't come back at this hour." The man in the square scarf fell at the end, explained a few words to the doorman, and made people rush to make a bamboo fence and stack it on the wall, so that he could enter satisfied.

The woman ushered Ruan Miaoling into the middle hall, and her words and demeanor were respectful, "Miss, please take a seat." ”

Ruan Miaoling chose a chair to sit on the east side and asked, "The old mother has been staring at me, but do you recognize me?" ”

When the little maid served tea, the woman asked shyly, "Dare to ask Miss if she has ever been to the capital?" ”

Ruan Miaoling bowed.

The woman was overjoyed, and asked again: "Has that young lady ever been to Xu Chen's Xu Shilang's mansion?" ”

Ruan Miaoling was already surprised when she heard the woman's first question, and when she heard the meaning of her words, she was even more curious, but her face was indifferent. "I've been there too, for a few hours."

The woman slapped her palms, her eyes moistened, as if she wanted to confirm again, and asked cautiously: "Miss is the daughter of Princess Baozhen's family, Miss Ruan San?" ”

Wen'er raised her eyebrows, "How can you, a woman far away from the capital, know so much!" ”

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence!" The woman wiped her face and choked up: "Miss Wanfu, I was originally the nurse in the mansion of Shangshu Li, and I only resigned two years ago to go home to recuperate!" ”

Ruan Miaoling thought about it for a long time, when the Shilang Mansion was on fire, there were many officials and gentry's wives who were guests in the Shilang Mansion, and the identifiable lady also brought the child that day, and this woman should be among them.

"What do you call an old mother?"

"Don't dare to call it, the slave's surname is Qiao." The woman looked at Ruan Miaoling on one wall, and sighed on the other: "I haven't seen you for four or five years, the third lady has become taller and more handsome, but no one else has it?" ”

Wen'er coughed, and the woman said ashamedly: "The slave family has transgressed, Miss Peugeot is a figure, only Miss chooses other people's shares, where will I be depressed about this." ”

As he was saying this, Menzi suddenly said that there was a very powerful person outside, and he wanted to pick up the young lady who had just come to visit.

The woman panicked, "Please also ask the third lady to retreat, the slave family has something important to tell the young lady!" ”

Ruan Miaoling looked at Wen'er and Huang Liang, secretly shook the arm under her sleeve, and said, "Wait for me in the courtyard, after Mother Qiao finishes speaking, let's go back." ”

……

Qin Jie waited outside the door for a cup of tea, Ruan Miaoling was escorted out by Wen'er and Huang Liang, followed by Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba, who were holding the brocade box on the left and the wine on the right.

"Did the people inside behave badly?"

Ruan Miaoling's face was a little unsightly, she shook her head, and half of the weight on her body leaned into the crook of Wen'er's arm.

Wen'er has always had no instructions from Ruan Miaoling, and she won't talk nonsense, so she said to Qin Jie: "Our young lady was tired of going out, and she happened to meet a kind-hearted person and rested in it for a while. Lord Qin was so thoughtful that he even prepared the carriage and horses! ”

Ruan Miaoling looked at it, Qin Jie's thoughtful behavior should have been praised a few more words, but her heart was messy, and her anger was strong, so she should have restrained herself before saying, "Thank you, Brother Qin." ”

"If you're tired, why bother saying this." Qin Jie sensed that Ruan Miaoling's mind was not going well, and he couldn't help but be cautious when he spoke, afraid that she would be angry.
