Chapter 102: She's Attached to the Lights (2)
Xu Ranjia was seriously ill, her brain was much brighter than before, and her weak body was wrapped in a vicissitudes of life and a stubborn heart. She knew that the Ran family took her in, nothing more than to value her father's connections when he was alive, and also because he was paving the way for her marriage.
Now that she is nineteen years old, not to mention that she will be taken away on the way to the incense of the Ran family a month later, even if she has avoided this catastrophe, I am afraid that the Ran family will have to hurry up to arrange the marriage for her. So she had to find a good husband for herself first, and then plan the rest of the matter.
She rubbed her head and it hurt a little, there were no elders to help her, how could she find it?
"Master, it's the first day of junior high school today, do you still want to go and say hello to Mrs. Ran?" Orange combed her hair carefully, remembered the master's previous explanation, and asked out loud.
"Go ahead," Xu Ranjia didn't respond too interestedly, and let the orange dress herself.
In the past three years, the hard days have made her lose a lot of weight, and her temperament has become more silent, and her eyes are full of clear pools, clear but difficult to see the bottom, and her lips are a little rouge, and the whole person is a lot more vivid.
Orange's eyes tightened, she really didn't know what kind of mercy her master's color would face without her family's protection, she only hoped that her master could live a safe life, even if there was no monstrous wealth and power.
Xu Ranjia was wearing a gradient lake blue cardigan skirt, only the neckline, cuffs and skirt had white magnolias, which was simple and tight. On her ears were light blue droplet-like droplets, and on her head was just a butterfly with pink wings.
How much strength did she have in her body, most of her body was leaning on oranges, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes were focused on the green bricks that could reflect the figure of a person under her feet, her brain was emptied, and the dwelling in her eyes was covered by a layer of fog.
"The slave maid greets the sixteenth prince," As soon as she turned the corner, Orange saw a tall and handsome man walking down the steps wearing a crescent moon white dress embroidered with a black eagle, she hurriedly pulled Xu Ranjia, knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
Xu Ranjia raised her head a little dazed and looked at the person who came, it was the person who came out after the precipitation in the years, how long has it been since she saw her? They used to be what people called childhood sweethearts, he was his father's most proud student, the two have very different personalities, they are still and moving, but this movement is a gentle self in the eyes of people.
Ever since she had a heart of admiration for Jia Tianyou, she only had that hypocritical villain in her eyes, and she had long forgotten her childhood playmate. It seems that she has been filial piety for three years, but she came from her previous life, and she has struggled in Jiafu for seven or eight years.
It's been a long time, she shook her head slightly, and she saluted very well-behaved and supple, "The folk girl greets the sixteenth prince." ”
She was half-squatting, and saw black soap boots without a trace of mud pacing from afar, and walked up to her and stood still, and then the man's cold voice sounded without a trace of temperature: "Get up." ”
Xu Ranjia pursed her lips and stood up, retreated to the side with the orange, lowered her head to reveal her long and graceful neck, and the water-dropped-like glossy earrings swayed, like the wind that contained spring just now, sweeping from the tip of people's hearts.
The man paused for a moment and said, "Aunt and Second Lady Ran are here, you can go over." ”
When he was far away, Xu Ranjia raised his head, forced himself not to turn his head, and continued to hold the orange's hand and walk towards the main courtyard. Step by step, the two are getting farther and farther apart, just like their identities and their destinies, there should be no intersection from now on, right?
Thinking about the previous life, when she heard the news that he died on the battlefield, her heart still couldn't help but hurt violently, and her lowered eyelids were smeared and hot, and they fell on the ground with a slight tide.
The main courtyard was very lively, the ladies in the three rooms came with the young ladies and sons, Xu Ranjia went in and shouted obediently one by one, and then stayed in the corner and looked at the branch on the shoes exposed under the skirt in a daze.
Only when she is in a daze, her mind will not be cranky, and she will not be buried by the endless panic about the future. When she heard several ladies talk about the sixteenth prince, she blinked her eyes, and her white ears moved slightly.
"Sister-in-law, the sixteenth prince is fifty out of twenty this year, isn't it small, and the palace didn't give him Zhang Luo? I've heard that he doesn't even have a room girl around him. The one who spoke was Mrs. Erfang, who was also Xu Ranjia's aunt and uncle, with a flattering smile on her face, looking at her own few girls who were as beautiful as spring peaches, thinking that they were just side concubines, and their lords and sons could step by step.
Mrs. Sanfang also said unwillingly: "Yes, sister-in-law, others say that the general king is the black-faced king of Hades, we grew up watching him, and only our own family knows how his character is." The frontier of our Huatang Dynasty was guarded by the soldiers under his leadership, and the marriage was delayed, so you, who are people's aunts, have to take care of it, right? ”
Mrs. Dafang glared at the two of them and snorted, "Don't think I don't know your thoughts!" He is a member of the royal family, and you are not a member of our family, if he is heard, the future of the two younger brothers will be over. ”
The two ladies hurriedly clapped their mouths and said yes, and continued to look at her.
"Okay, don't worry about the things in the sky, the girls in our family are all good, there are so many talented people in the capital, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a good one? Shan'er is going to get married next month, let's go to the incense to make a vow, she has finally found a good family. Just let the unmarried girls in the family also ask for a good marriage. ”
Mrs. Dafang's sister-in-law used to be the concubine of the first emperor, although she was gone early, but isn't there still a sixteen princes to support her? So she is the biggest in the family, and she finalized the matter in one sentence. She looked at the handsome woman in the corner, thinking about her nephew's rare awkward inquiry, her eyes flashed with helplessness, and she said quietly: "Miss Xu is also stuffy at home, let's go with us." ”
Xu Ranjia, who was named, stood up and responded obediently.
The second lady quietly pursed her mouth, and one by one she really regarded herself as a master.
Back in the yard, Xu Ranjia looked at the blue sky that had completely cleared, and listened to the cheerful birdsong on the branches, and exhaled a long breath of turbidity, he had gotten rid of his previous life, and he had given his life for love and hatred. She shouldn't be silent any longer, nineteen years old is the best time for a woman.
The corners of her lips hooked up a faint smile, she beckoned Orange to take out the needle and thread, sat under the window by herself, sniffing the fresh air after the rain, embroidering a delicate kang screen. This kang screen is divided into four in total, all of which are beautiful hairpins and small scriptures and Bodhisattva statues, and they are still rare double-sided embroidery.
In the box at the head of her bed, there are a lot of exquisite double-sided embroidery, fish, insects, flowers and plants, and the most are scriptures. This was her only pastime during the three years of filial piety, and the exquisite female red was no worse than the embroidered girl in the palace knitting bureau. It seems that in the previous life, these were all taken by Jia's mother to pave the way for her son, and they caused a lot of movement in the aristocratic circle.
Xu Ranjia carefully finished it, cut off the thread with scissors, and asked the orange to take the money to Ziyi, and asked him to go outside to give a rosewood frame inlaid with summer lotus leaves and lotus.
"Master, we don't have enough money to inlay rosewood," Orange opened the money box, and in the small box there was only an ingot of polished silver and a pile of copper plates, she whispered with some embarrassment.
"Open that box and sell a few pieces in the embroidery room," Xu Ranjia nodded at the reddish-brown wooden box in front of her bedside with her chin, looked down at her books, how many times she had turned over the scriptures that had been sharpened, and then continued: "Let Ziyi bring me some more popular books and buy some small snacks," Speaking of this, she chuckled and shook her head: "Forget it, where would he buy this as a man, you can follow the oranges." ”
Ziyi is a little girl equipped by her father for her, and her kung fu is excellent, but she was taken away in her last life, and she listened to Jia Tianyou's words, blamed Ziyi for being disloyal and betrayed him. She still remembered the disappointment and deep melancholy in the eyes of the expressionless man.
When the orange heard this, the apricot eyes glared: "Master, that is embroidered by your own hands, where can the boudoir embroidery be sold out?" ”
Xu Ranjia thought about it, she habitually left a swallow symbol on each of her embroideries, representing the meaning of beauty. "It's okay, no one has seen my embroidery anyway, and I don't know that the swallow represents me."
Orange sighed in her heart, which pampered girl needs to sell her own embroidery to live? If there is a young master in the family with a lintel, the master will not be dismissed, and he will go out clean!
She nodded, gritted her silver teeth and said, "Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely fight for a high price for you!" Let's try to sell less. ”
Xu Ranjia chuckled, "Silly girl, if I want to sell it, I must have sold all the things in this box, is it possible to stay and wait for someone to catch it?" However, the price can't be too low, otherwise they will be embarrassed to sell their embroidery house to dignitaries at a high price. ”
Orange looked at her and smiled a little stupidly, since the master was gone, the master almost never smiled, that is, the former aunt sent letters and small objects every now and then, and the master was only a little sadder on his eyebrows. She almost forgot that her master used to laugh very much, and the innocent face when she laughed was even more lethal and heart-wrenching.
She nodded with a smirk, "Yes, the master embroidered to pass the time, and the box was full, just in time to put new embroidery." Saying that, she began to focus on Xu Ranjia excitedly calculating how much an embroidery could be sold for, and what small snacks and rouge gouache they could buy.
Xu Ranjia was also in a surprisingly good mood when she heard this, and couldn't help but interject: "I want to eat osmanthus cake, peanut crisp, and fried chestnuts with sugar." ”
"Okay, slave and maid," the orange replied, and went around the house again to see if there was anything to be added, and kept it in mind.
She has confidence in her master's female celebrity, which is absolutely priceless!
Watching the girl jumping up and down to the yard and pulling Ziyi away, Xu Ranjia bent her eyebrows, she didn't dare to ask for too much, she just wanted to live the days of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea for most girls.
