Chapter 10: The Old Lady's Birthday
"Ahh
Xin Nu, Ah Yue, and Cai Wei rushed to Ran Ziyu's room together.
"Miss! What's wrong! ”
"Miss, don't scare Caiwei!"
"Don't come in!" Ran Ziyu hurriedly got dressed. She slept in the Xinnu room last night, but when she woke up, she was in her own room, and she was cleaned again!
That night, Ran Ziyu called Ah Yue, Xinnu, and Cai Wei to his room. Four people sleep together, and the bed is big enough anyway.
The next morning, she was the only one on the agarwood bed, and when she was dressing, she found a faint tooth mark on her left shoulder.
"Dead pervert!" She scolded, pushed the door and went out, and saw Ah Yue, Xinnu, and Cai Wei all asleep outside the door, and couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed. She was even more angry, ran to the middle of the courtyard, looked around and cursed for a while.
It wasn't until noon that they woke up. The four masters and servants sat in a circle.
"What can I do?" Cai Wei was anxious and afraid.
"Forget it." Ran Ziyu was helpless, "I'll sleep by myself in the future." "The pervert was targeting her, and letting the Sinu sleep until noon and the tooth marks on her shoulders were all warnings.
"Ugh." Ran Ziyu sighed heavily, not daring to imagine the perverted and ugly appearance. The women of this era are so famous, if they had changed to other women, they would have committed suicide a long time ago. Luckily, she's not.
After lunch and a nap, Ran Ziyu took everyone to look for a rat hole and snake nest in the yard. It's a pity that Qingqing is missing.
She often heard her mother say, "Poor rats have to move." "That's right, there are no rats in such a big Lingyun Pavilion.
She only drank a few sips of dinner, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said that she was full. Rest early, you won't be hungry in your sleep, and you can save candles.
"Phew! Miss is still here, she has a worse life than Ding Yue. "In the dark, you can't see anything. Even if it's not dark, there is nothing here except a bed, and it is destitute.
Ding Yue was once her, at least well-fed.
A few days later, the old lady turned 60 years old. The current situation of the Guogong Mansion is avoided by other families. At least a few hundred invitations were scattered, but not a single one came. The song and dance juggling that was scheduled was all beaten back by the old lady.
The dinner was held in the old lady's main hall.
A gilt candelabra illuminates the entire hall. The large round table of Du Limu is engraved with a flying phoenix to send happiness. The table is filled with steaming delicacies from the mountains and seas.
The old lady sat on the upper seat with a serious face. On one side are Mrs. Si and Ran Zirou, Ran Zixian, Ran Ziyu, and on the other side are several aunts. Thinking of last year's birthday banquet, the guests of the entire Guogong Mansion came and went, and the congratulatory gifts were piled up in more than a dozen rooms. Children and grandchildren are in groups, wrapped around their knees, and their small mouths are wiped with honey. The eldest brother and sister of the family came from afar, and seeing this, they were so angry. Now, it is deserted, and most of the children and grandchildren are gone. There were some people left, and they couldn't even sit at the table.
"I'm not feeling well, so I'll rest first." The old lady said in a deep voice, her voice hoarse, and extremely displeased.
"Mother, the children haven't given you a birthday yet!" Mrs. Si felt the old lady's displeasure and forced a smile.
The old lady ignored her, and as soon as her hand was raised, the maidservant Hongyu came over and helped her out of her seat. The moment he turned around, he glanced at Ran Ziyu fiercely. It was because of her mother, Mrs. Nangong, that she lost most of her grandchildren. The son suffered in Luntai, and the only surviving two little grandchildren were in Pingnanman. The southern barbarians have always been cruel, and I don't know if I will be able to see them come back in my lifetime.
Ran Ziyu only had the delicacy in front of him in his eyes. Meat! I haven't eaten meat since I got here!
Mrs. Si's face was very ugly, "You guys eat!" With that, he left. Ran Zixian also left after following Mrs. Si.
Several aunts left one after another.
Only Ran Ziyu and Ran Zirou were left on the entire table.
Ran Zirou has been sick all the year round, if she hadn't thought that the old lady would not have many people this year, she would have to make up the number when she came, otherwise she would not have come out of her Feather Pavilion.
specially wore a lake blue skirt, and some fat powder on his face couldn't cover the paleness on his face. She didn't move her chopsticks, she just looked at Ran Ziyu with a pair of watery eyes. She heard Ran Zixian say that Ran Ziyu had changed...... And Ran Ziyu refused the medicine of boiling. Why did Bai Zhuo give her medicine?
Ran Ziyu is still wearing his usual white clothes, and the clothes are not used by anyone. The eyes embedded in a snow-white face are long but not thin, but much larger than ordinary eyes, and have some Northern Xia style. The eyelashes are extremely dense, and the eyes are shiny, as if they contain a quiet spring. The small and delicate nose is straight, and a ruddy little mouth is stained with oil from eating meat, which looks more cute and lively. The long hair is not like the Central Plains woman hanging straight down, and it is not like the curly hair of the Northern Xia people, but like a soft water wave, gently draped behind him.
Ran Zirou suddenly felt a little inferior, she hadn't seen her for a few years, but she didn't expect her little sister to become a fairy. She thought, her eyes gloomy, no wonder.... No wonder Bai Zhuo would give her medicine.
Ran Ziyu kept chopsticks and ate a full twelve. Seeing that Ran Zirou didn't move, she just wanted to greet her second sister. The words were still being weighed, but the man was gone.
It's good, it's good. Ran Ziyu casually thought of an excuse, broke away from the servant waiting next to him, took out the bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and put several untouched dishes of meat into it, and stuffed a roast chicken into a bulging bag before leaving satisfied.
There was no snow today, and the moon hung quietly in the sky.
As soon as he came out of Ning Xinzhai, he saw Ran Zixian waiting aside.
She pretended not to see it, and bypassed her.
"Stop!"
Ran Ziyu not only stopped, but also ran. She couldn't be provoked, so she hid.
She didn't run far before Ran Zixian jumped in front of her and blocked her way. "Little sister, where are you going to go in such a hurry?"
"Yu'er go back." Ran Ziyu stared at her tightly, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Mother finally let my little sister out for a day, why don't you play outside for a while?" Ran Zixian saw her holding a bulging bag, and while she was not paying attention, he kicked the bag she was holding in her arms into the air, and split it in half with a sword, and the flesh was scattered in the air.
Ran Zixian took a few steps back proudly, and was very happy to see the piece of meat fall on Ran Ziyu's hair, "Mingyue, let the dog go!" ”
"Yes!"
Mingyue took the half-human-tall dog and took off the chain again. When the dog saw the meat everywhere, he immediately snorted and ate it.
"Nope! No! Ran Ziyu was busy picking up meat, "This is for Xin Nu and them!" No! No! ”
Ran Zixian stepped on Ran Ziyu's hand and crushed, "Little sister, thank you for feeding the dog for me." ”
Ran Ziyu trembled in pain, "Ah! ”
"Hahaha~" Ran Zixian walked away.
Ran Ziyu didn't care about the pain in his hands, so he rescued the meat on the ground, washing and eating it. She knew that she was not there, and that the Xinnu women would not eat in order to save food. They haven't eaten meat in a long, long time!
The dog finished eating the meat on the ground and barked to snatch the chicken in her hand, but Ran Ziyu hid and was almost bitten by the dog.
The servants passing by looked coldly, busy with their own business, and did not stop.
"Don't! Don't eat it! What do they eat! She screamed, not noticing the tears in the corners of her eyes.
A long needle pierced the top of the dog's head, and the dog snorted a few times and collapsed.
"Little Miss!" Bai Zhuo was very surprised when he saw Ran Ziyu. Looking at the debris of the ground and the scraps of her hair and her cries, he understood everything,
Looking at the long eyelashes of the girl in front of her, her eyes were shining, and tears were flowing quietly, but there was no expression on her face. It's very distressed and angry.
Unconsciously reached out and wanted to wipe away her tears.
But she turned her face, wiped away her tears, and looked up, with a just right smile on her face, and the corners of her eyes were still moist. "Thank you Doctor Bai, Yu'er will go back first."
