At midnight, Xu Ruoqing lay on the bed and raised her arms, carefully observing the lines on her arms through the moonlight through the window.

I didn't find it before, but she only discovered it after the moon came out.

flipped through Xu Ruoqing's memories and found that there had never been such a situation before, which made her a little puzzled.

Now that she's sure she's not where she was, it looks like she's going to have to cross.

Xu Ruoqing looked at the silver-white lines crawling all over her arms under the moonlight, the silver-white lines were intertwined with each other, outlining a complex pattern, delicate and beautiful, and it made people instinctively feel dangerous.

Frowning and thinking about it, Xu Ruoqing felt that this had something to do with the mother of this body.

Looking out the window at the thick of the night, I don't think anyone will be shuttling around the house at this point.

Looking at the silver-white lines that were even more bewitching due to the moonlight, Xu Ruoqing decided to go and see her mother.

Putting on a black dress to cover the silver lines on her face and arms, Xu Ruoqing rushed to her mother's yard with her memory.

Rushing to a corner near her mother's courtyard, Xu Ruoqing, who was thinking about rushing over the wall to enter, suddenly changed her face and took a step back.

Xu Ruoqing stared at the stone in front of her that was suddenly beaten out with an ugly face.

She hadn't noticed the direction the stone was coming from, and she just dodged by feeling.

I didn't expect that there were still people near my mother's courtyard.

Xu Ruoqing looked around vigilantly, and her face became even stiffer.

She didn't find any trace of the other party at all!

Now whether it is advancing or retreating, it is within the scope of the other party's attack, Xu Ruoqing knows that she can't act rashly now.

Her mind was spinning quickly, and Xu Ruoqing frowned and thought about how she could get out of this situation.

"Girl, what are you thinking?"

A magnetic, low, voice rang in his ears.

Xu Ruoqing didn't look at it, and directly bent her arms and hit her elbows back.

The man behind chuckled, reached out and grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and put his arm around her waist to take her away from the corner.

Xu Ruoqing looked at the other party tiptoeing on the ground, and easily flew to a big tree next to the courtyard.

Xu Ruoqing, who couldn't resist, was thinking about saying something, but suddenly felt a blackness in front of her.

Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely heard the male voice say, "Girl, offended. ”

On the second day, Xiao Lu pushed open the door early to tell Xu Ruoqing to get up.

"Miss, there's a family dinner tonight. Mama Kang came early in the morning to inform her. ”

Xiao Lu took out a set of clothes and said, "Mama Kang also sent a set of clothes, saying that I will wear this set for tonight's family banquet." ”

Unfolding the folded clothes, Midori smiled and said, "Miss, we have new clothes to wear!" ”

Xu Ruoqing glanced at the so-called new clothes.

Warm yellow, half-old but not new, eighty percent are the clothes that the arrogant second lady Xu Ruoyan doesn't want.

Taking out such clothes really fits the stingy face of the side room.

Xu Ruoqing snorted coldly and said, "That side room, it's really a loss of this kind of face." ”

"Miss, that ......" Xiao Lu took the dress, a little overwhelmed, "but this is indeed our latest one.....

Hearing Xiao Lu's weak tone, Xu Ruoqing sighed and did not refute.

When it was about to fall at night, Xu Ruoqing was about to go out, when she saw a maid coming in at the gate of the courtyard.

The maid entered the courtyard with disdain on her face and walked directly in front of Xu Ruoqing.

Mrs. Wang said that today's family banquet is very important and there is no room for error. For fear that you will get lost, I specially asked me to show you the way. ”

Get lost? Xu Ruoqing sneered in her heart. How can you get lost when you go to a family dinner every year? This side room is a bit stupid.

Xu Ruoqing straightened her clothes, looked at this doggy maid, showed a timid smile, and said, "Thank you, Sister Hongyu, I'm ready." ”

Looking at the so-called cowardly attitude of the concubine, Hongyu's unremitting color became even more obvious.

Nodding his head, he motioned for her to follow. Ruby kept going out of the yard for a moment.

As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, Ruby's pace slowed down.

Xu Ruoqing flipped through her memories and felt that the side room at the great time of this banquet would have to make some trouble for her.

And the first step in this trouble, maybe it is the red jade.

Sure enough, the red jade took her to a corner away from the place where the family feast was held.

"You wait here, I have something to do, I'll come back later. You must wait for me here, or Madame Wang will find out...... There is good fruit to eat. ”

"Okay."

Looking at the figure of Hongyu in the distance, Xu Ruoqing almost laughed.

This Wang's routine is the same every year.

Leave her here alone, and wait until the feast is about to begin, and by the time she goes, the feast has already begun. When the time comes, neither the old lady nor Zhongshuling will have a good face for her.

At this time, when she was scolded enough, Wang jumped out to intercede with her and brush up on a wave of favorability.

It's like this every year, but this year she won't be obediently slaughtered.

Xiao Lu next to him was a little anxious, and said uneasily: "Miss, what should I do, the family banquet is about to start." ”

"What can I do, of course, to go to the family banquet."

"That Ruby ......"

"Ignore her, let's go."

Xu Ruoqing made up her mind, ignored Hongyu anymore, and took Xiaolu to the family banquet.

The banquet was held in a building not far from the center of the house.

Xu Ruoqing admired the architectural scenery that she had rarely seen before, and at the same time felt that this style and beauty were not the same as the architectural style of the future.

"Ah, isn't this Sister Ruoqing?"

As soon as I arrived at the door of the family banquet, I heard a soft sound of surprise from behind.

It is Aunt Li's eldest daughter, Xu Ruolian.

Xu Ruoqing turned around and looked at the beautiful figure behind her.

"Sister Ruoqing, it's a coincidence that you're here today, just in time for the family dinner."

Xu Ruolian walked up to her and looked at her unnaturally.

In the past, Xu Ruoqing had always been late, how did she come so coincidentally today, could it be that the old witch of the Wang family let her go?

Impossible. Xu Ruolian was full of questions.

"Maybe I left early today." Xu Ruoqing responded weakly.

"yes, let's go in first, it's really not good to be blocked at the door." Xu Ruolian said sarcastically.

Just as he was thinking about returning the salute to Xu Ruolian, he heard a voice again.

"Sister Ruoqing, Sister Ruolian, what are you talking about?"

The two people at the door turned their heads at the same time, and saw Xu Ruoyan wearing a light blue cross-collared skirt and stepping on lotus steps.

"It's nothing, Sister Ruoqing and I haven't seen each other for a while, so we just chatted for a few words." Xu Ruolian smiled slightly.

"Also, I don't seem to have seen Ruoqing's sister in a while." While speaking, Xu Ruoyan looked at Xu Ruoqing.

Feeling Xu Ruoyan's gaze, Xu Ruoqing pretended to be cowardly and shrunk her neck.

"Sister Ruoqing, this dress is a little familiar," Xu Ruolian looked at the skirt on Xu Ruoqing's body, as if she opened her mouth inadvertently, "It seems that Sister Ruoyan has worn it." ”

"Yes, yes? This dress was sent by Mama Kang. ”

"Then it should be. This style, I remember it was last year, but I saw Sister Ruoyan wear it not long ago," Xu Ruolian glanced at Xu Ruoyan from the corner of her eyes and said, "So, I'm very impressed." ”

Xu Ruoyan narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart. She knew that this Xu Ruolian was sarcastically that she was still wearing last year's old style.

But she can't be sarcastically satire.

"Sister Ruoqing, although this set is from last year, it is very rare, and not everyone can wear it."

Hearing Xu Ruoyan's words, Xu Ruolian secretly clenched her fists, and her face became a little ugly for a moment.

Aunt Li is indeed not the most favored now, and she really can't afford this set of dresses she likes, so she really can't refute Xu Ruoyan's words.

Xu Ruoqing was happy to see the two of them tear each other down, so she just stood there, silently playing her cowardly concubine.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little silent.

At this moment, another squeamish voice interjected.

"Speaking of which, that Wang is still really shameless!"

Aunt Liu's daughter, Xu Ruomei, didn't care at all that she scolded the only side room of the Zhongshu Ling Mansion.

"I don't even want to pay for a new set of clothes, I say that I am thrifty, but to be honest, I am stingy and mean!"

Hearing this, Xu Ruoqing applauded this crazy man with great courage in her heart.

Xu Ruoyan's face changed and said, "Sister Ruomei, you can't talk nonsense. ”

"Who is talking nonsense, I am telling the truth!"

After speaking, Xu Ruomei's momentum of glaring at Xu Ruoyan was not weak at all.

"Okay, don't make any noise, let's go in first, it's not good to block the door."

At this time, Xu Ruolian slowly spoke and came out to be a peacemaker.

Xu Ruoyan suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Ruolian is right, it's really not good to stand at the door of this banquet and say these words, Sister Ruomei, you have to learn a little from Sister Lian." ”

After speaking, no matter what Xu Ruomei's face was, she went straight into the house.

Xu Ruomei glared at Xu Ruolian fiercely, and then entered the house as well.

Xu Ruolian's face was no longer smiling, and this Xu Ruoyan had to pull a wave of hatred for herself before leaving.

Sighing, Xu Ruolian only hoped that during the family banquet, Xu Ruomei would be able to shoot lightly.

The seats of the feast are arranged in the order of the elders. Therefore, Xu Ruoqing's seat is quite close to the old lady.

According to the degree of bullying she was in the house, such a good seat would have been snatched away.

But the time he was robbed, he was scolded by the old lady severely. Even the face with Zhongshuling is not good-looking.

The old lady is very old, and she values this relationship between the elders the most. Zhongshu Ling is a high authority, for the sake of fame, everything is based on filial piety.

After taking a seat in the eyes of the children of the various Zhongshu Orders, Xu Ruoqing secretly looked at the various young ladies she saw for the first time.

Zhongshu Ling Xu Yuanjiang has a total of five daughters and three sons.

His side room Wang has a daughter and a son, Aunt Li has two daughters, Aunt Liu has a daughter and a son, and Aunt Zhou has a son.

Except for Aunt Li's eldest daughter, who is already married, the remaining seven are all here.

Xu Ruoqing took a deep breath and straightened her waist, not revealing her original Xu Ruoqing's cowardly appearance.

Since this family banquet, Xu Ruoqing is no longer the original Xu Ruoqing.
