In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Qin Ranran had already gotten up and started to freshen up.

Sweet and solemn concentric buns, plain velvet embroidered jackets, purple silk and emerald skirts, with a brocade and fur cloak, and plain pearl heads, look gentle and decent.

Mother Liu nodded with satisfaction: "The old lady is an elder after all, so it's best to go like this." "What's more, she is also trying to torture you, and if she dresses too brightly, she may have to be ostracized.

"Madam, or the old slave will accompany you." Mother Liu was still very worried in her heart, "The old slave in the Hou Mansion can still be familiar with it." ”

Qin Ranran looked at the worried look in Liu's mother's eyes, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Mother Liu, I have to go every day anyway, I will take you there will inevitably make others think that I am not confident enough, since I want to go, I have to find face for the general, you can rest assured!" Besides, my master, I guess you can hold it down......"

Qin Ranran couldn't help but think that day the master had to take down the bird's nest on the plane tree in the backyard and bake the bird's eggs to eat, no one could stop it, Liu's mother yelled angrily, Beichen Zhenren immediately chose to follow his heart, and let go of the poor bird.

Liu's mother also seemed to remember this, imagining what the mansion would be like if she wasn't in the house.

"The lady took care of herself, and if something happened, she sent the maid back to report the news." Mother Liu immediately changed her mind, "Let Lu Jiu follow you, just in case." ”

Qin Ranran smiled and nodded, full of fighting spirit.

The carriage slowly walked out of General Pingxi's mansion, and Lu Jiu and Red Sleeves sat beside her, their faces full of seriousness.

"You two don't have to be like this, it's not a Longtan tiger's den." Qin Ranran looked at the expressions of the two maids as if they were facing a great enemy, and said comfortingly.

Lu Jiu put his hand on his waist and swore solemnly: "Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, the slave and maid will take you home safely." ”

"The slave will also protect you to the death!" Red Sleeves clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Qin Ranran looked at the two maids in front of her in shock: "You two won't be so unconfident in me, right?" Your lady is so vulnerable in your eyes? ”

Lu Jiu and Red Sleeves glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Madame, awesome, isn't it?

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of Pingxi Hou's Mansion.

Qin Ranran looked at the closed door and shook her head slightly, this is another trick, the old lady of Pingxi Hou, who is famous in the capital, is such a trick?

"Lu Jiu, go knock on the door, if someone is disrespectful to you, just take action." Qin Ranran squinted her eyes slightly, since the Pingxi Hou Mansion had not been on the same side as Lu Chengan from beginning to end, there was no need to save a good face for them.

Lu Jiu responded crisply, showed a sweet smile, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who? Early in the morning. Someone inside quickly responded, and after opening the door, he saw Lu Jiu standing at the door, showing a meaningful smile, "Whose little girl is this?" You look so good, what are you doing knocking on the door early in the morning? ”

"Little brother, I am the maid next to General Pingxi's wife, my wife is here to serve my mother-in-law today, little brother open the door and let us in." Lu Jiu's tone was crisp and his smile was sweet, and anyone who looked at her thought that she was a good-natured little girl.

The little guy obviously thought so too, he stretched out his finger lightly, picked Lu Jiu's chin, and was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed, and he let out a cry like a pig.

"What people!" When the people inside the door heard this wail, they all ran out and scolded.

Lu Jiu looked pitiful, and wept: "He, how can he be so rude?" ”

Everyone who came was stunned, looking at the delicate weak woman in front of them and the little girl squatting on the ground holding her fingers in pain.

"Boy Liu, what's going on?" A man who looked like a steward walked over.

The little guy squatting on the ground raised his head, revealing a face full of tears: "Uncle Zhang, this, this woman is too ruthless......"

"If you don't do it to me, will I do it?" Lu Jiu quickly shed a few tears from the bottom of his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.

"I, didn't I just pinch your chin, did you?" The little guy is also full of grievances.

"I wonder when I'll be able to enter the house? If you delay any longer, you will miss the time to say goodbye to your mother-in-law. Qin Ranran saw that everyone had come out, so she got out of the carriage and stood at the door of the Hou Mansion and asked.

Steward Zhang had seen Qin Ranran, and he also knew that General Pingxi was in the limelight recently, which made the old lady extremely unhappy, so he let this unpleasant daughter-in-law come over to Ritachi.

"Mrs. Lu," Steward Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Please inside, but this maid ......"

"I will explain to my mother-in-law that this maid is my person, and I will naturally take it away." Qin Ranran stood at the door, imitating the queen's tone, her expression not angry and arrogant.

Steward Zhang only felt that he couldn't refute it, so he had to nod his head and let people get out of the way and let the carriage enter the house.

"Let's go to the doctor and give you a holiday today." Steward Zhang looked at Liu Xiaozi, who was still crying in pain, and ordered.

Qin Ranran no longer paid attention to the things behind him, got into the carriage again, and walked towards the Hou Mansion.

Until the second courtyard, Qin Ranran got out of the carriage, Lu Jiu and Red Sleeves stood on both sides, supported her, and walked towards the old lady's courtyard together.

"Why don't you even have a guide maid?" Lu Jiu complained in a low voice, "Fortunately, Madame has come, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to find where the courtyard is." ”

"I can't find the wrong time, and there's a reason to grind me." Qin Ranran's smile remained undiminished, "Not remembering the road shows that I rarely serve my mother-in-law, and I am even more unfilial." ”

"The mind is really vicious." Redsleeves' face was as usual, but he couldn't hide the disgust in his tone.

All the way to the main courtyard, Qin Ranran entered the courtyard, stood under the porch and waited with her hands down, the mother next to the old lady came out and said with a smile: "The second lady is here, the old lady slept unsteadily last night, and she hasn't got......ten up yet."

"It's okay, it's important for my mother to sleep well, I'll wait here." Qin Ranran replied with a smile.

"Then there is Second Lady Lao." The mother smiled and went back to the back room.

Qin Ranran stood still and didn't move, quietly looking at the maids coming and going in the yard, watching a maid go out with a basin of water, she knew that the old lady had gotten up.

After waiting for about an hour of incense, there was still no movement inside, Qin Ranran's face did not have any waves, and he quietly glanced at Lu Jiu behind him.

Lu Jiu realized, and a small stone flew out of his sleeve, hitting the ankle of a maid holding a tea cup.

The maid only felt that her ankles were numb, her body was crooked, and the tea cup in her hand happened to be buckled on Qin Ranran's arm.

Lu Jiu took a step forward and helped the maid up. Red Sleeves hurriedly took a handkerchief and brushed away the tea leaves on Qin Ranran's clothes, his face full of anxiety: "Madam, what can I do about this." I thought that there would be no accident when I arrived at the old lady, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, so how can I say hello to the old lady? ”
