Chapter 63: General Nguyen Dies
Qiu Yulan went out in a mess and walked out of a corridor, only to find that Dong Ran was following her, she stopped and rubbed her forehead: "What's the matter?" ”
"The eldest lady hasn't come over until now, do you think you want to send someone over to ask again?" Dong Ran whispered, "After all, the little Marquis Ling is now on Zhang Luo, but the eldest lady's family hasn't arrived yet, this ......"
"The eldest cousin hasn't come yet?" Qiu Yulan was also stunned, although the old general Ruan had not yet breathed, he was also on the verge of dying-how could Ruan Ciyi, the only grandchild who was related by blood on the surface, not come over quickly? "Have you already sent someone to invite you?"
Dong Ran nodded: "The people who went came back to tell me that there was something over there, and the eldest lady had to come later." But now that Ling Xiaohou and Qiu Hanlin have come to see it, the eldest lady's family has no shadow yet, this ......"
Qiu Yulan frowned for a moment and said, "Send someone to ask again." After a pause, he said, "Pay attention, if it is not something that cannot come in time, urge it, otherwise the eldest cousin will definitely be talked about." ”
As the two were talking, there was news in front of them, and it was Ruan Ciyi's family who could be counted - there were three people who came, Ruan Ciyi and his wife, and even Fang Zijun, who didn't like Qiu Yulan.
Hearing that this obedient so-called nephew was also here, Qiu Yulan felt tired for a while.
It's just that this kid wants to call Ruan Ciyi a mother after all, his great-grandfather is about to pass away, and he should really come over. After thinking about it, he told Qiu Ran: "Good life pay attention to that Fang Zijun, don't look at his young age, he is a troublemaker, and his mind is not right." ”
After Autumn Dye should fall, she went to the front to greet her.
At this time, Ruan Ciyi's family changed their bright colors, but they didn't dare to wear filial piety directly, the couple looked a little preoccupied, only Fang Zijun was still full of spirits, and when he saw Qiu Yulan, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he deliberately twisted his head to the side.
Seeing that he looked like he was holding a grudge, Qiu Yulan didn't like him even more, so he only called his eldest cousin lightly, and exchanged a few words with Ruan Ciyi before he said lukewarmly to Fang Nongyan: "Cousin-in-law is also here?" ”
Fang Nongyan looked at the outline, he should have been very heroic more than ten years ago, otherwise he would not have been looked down upon by the old general Ruan, who was just proud at that time. However, after more than ten years of depreciation in Hezhou, in addition to the wind and dust, it seems that the sharpness is insufficient and more than sleek. When he saw Qiu Yulan for the first time, there was a touch of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly remembered the gap between their identities, and immediately retracted, lowered his head and didn't dare to look more, and asked politely: "We're late, county lord, how is grandfather now?" ”
The old lady said...... Not very good. After Qiu Yulan greeted him, he ignored him, and only said to Ruan Ciyi, "Big cousin, let's go in quickly." ”
Catching a glimpse of Fang Yannong with Fang Zijun following behind, she said unceremoniously, "Zijun is still young, don't go over yet, it's all busy now, don't accidentally touch him." ”
This bear child is not only ignorant, but also clearly malicious towards Ruan Ciyi! Qiu Yulan didn't worry that he was approaching the old general Ruan, who had only one breath left—originally Ruan Qingyan was upset enough and uncomfortable enough now—she was not afraid of offending the Fang family's father and son.
Hearing this, Fang Nongyan was embarrassed for a while, knowing that it must be Fang Zijun's actions last time that greatly offended this little sister-in-law, and was about to say a few words to ease the scene, but Fang Zijun shouted screaming: "This is Uncle Ruan's house, what's the matter with you?!" Do you want you to stop me from seeing my uncle?! ”
"Smack!"
After seeing Qiu Lulan stunned, he looked over coldly, Fang Nongyan hurriedly slapped Fang Zijun with a backhand and made Fang Zijun stop his mouth, and said angrily: "What did you say to your aunt?!" On behalf of his son, he apologized to Qiu Yulan, "Don't worry about him, the county lord is also such an heir under our knees for many years, and we spoil him so much that I don't know how to ...... the sky."
Qiu Yulan looked at him expressionlessly for a while, and when he caught a glimpse of Ruan Ciyi out of the corner of his eye, he was also embarrassed, but he was afraid that his face was ugly, and he couldn't speak, so he said lightly: "Cousin-in-law is still looking at Zijun in front, now everyone in the house has something to do, and it is really not thoughtful, please don't be surprised." Zijun is small, and it may not be complete for his subordinates, so it is better for his brother-in-law to watch it himself. First of all, I invited my sister in to see my grandfather, what does my brother-in-law think? ”
Fang Nongyan knew that although she, the county lord, did not have the support of her parents and elders, she was deeply loved by Ruan Qingyan; Second, it is said that he is also a figure who has reached the heavens, and he dare not be.
After leaving the father and son, Ruan Ciyi said embarrassedly: "Jun'er, he ...... is also ignorant, so I really offended my cousin. ”
"Why is my cousin coming late today?" Qiu Yulan didn't answer her words, and asked rhetorically.
Ruan Ciyi's face stiffened for a moment before she said, "There is someone in the family who is tired, so I delayed her by asking a doctor." ”
"Oh? I think my eldest cousin and cousin-in-law are fine, but Zijun doesn't look uncomfortable? Qiu Yulan guessed and knew that this "someone" was eight times out of ten. Nine is Fang Nongyan's concubine, she was furious in her heart, but she said deliberately in her mouth.
Ruan Ciyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not us, it's someone else." After a pause, he said, "I'm pregnant." ”
Qiu Yulan frowned and said: "Big cousin, we haven't seen each other much before, you are a sister again, so I shouldn't say a lot of things." But now that there are no outsiders here, please let me be presumptuous: even if my cousin-in-law does not have many heirs, it is rare to have a concubine pregnant, so I am extra cautious. But on his grandfather's side, he is his wife's own grandfather, is it not as important as a concubine? ”
This is simply a deliberate attempt to sweep Ruan Ciyi's face - it's not that the Fang family has no one who can take care of the pregnant concubine, as for dragging Fang Nongyan's family and not being able to leave?!
"Alas......" Ruan Ciyi sighed faintly, but did not speak.
She's like this, Qiu Yulan can't talk about her anymore, just thinking about how to deal with this matter?
The two arrived at General Ruan's house, where Ruan Qingyan and Ruan An had been guarding and saluting when they saw this. Ruan Qingyan saw Ruan Ciyi coming alone, and asked in surprise: "What about Brother-in-law Fang and Zijun?" ”
Qiu Yulan interjected: "I see that Zijun is young, and now we remember that my grandfather has no time to be distracted, so I asked my brother-in-law to take him in front." ”
When Ruan Qingyan heard this, he frowned imperceptibly, and said, "If you always call your grandfather great-grandfather, please come and see you." ”
Ruan An was afraid that Qiu Yulan would not be able to get off the stage, so he hurriedly said: "The county lord is also worried, and there is indeed some chaos here. But now that the son has eased up, it doesn't hurt for the little son of the Fang family to come over and forgive him. ”
Although Qiu Yulan was a little unhappy in her heart, this was the Ruan family, and she had overstepped her previous efforts to ask Fang Nongyan and Fang Zijun not to come over, but she was just relying on Ruan Qingyan to hurt her, and she never cared about her giving orders in the General's Mansion. So he pouted and didn't speak.
After a while, the father and son of the Fang family were invited, and as soon as Fang Zijun entered the door, he rushed to Ruan Qingyan and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Ruan, someone doesn't want me to see you!" ”
Qiu Yulan's face darkened, and Fang Nongyan and his wife hurriedly shouted in unison to stop him!
Ruan Qingyan was good-tempered, first raised his hand to silence Fang Nongyan and his wife, and then touched Fang Zijun's head, and said lovingly: "Zijun, be quiet, your great-grandfather is lacking." ”
Fang Zijun will sell well in front of him, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, blinked his big black and white eyes, and whispered: "Ah, is my great-grandfather here?" He looked left and right, only to find that the person lying quietly on the couch was hurriedly tiptoeing over and shouting, but of course General Ruan would not agree to him - so he ran back to Ruan Qingyan and said pitifully, "Uncle Ruan, my great-grandfather ignored me, am I not good?" ”
If you are so good, there will be no bear children in the world!
Qiu Yulan secretly gritted his teeth in his heart: "Why do I hate this kid more and more I look at it?" ”
"Zijun has always been well-behaved, your great-grandfather didn't mean to ignore you, it's just that he is lacking now, and he can't ignore you if he wants to...... Don't be sad, look at this little frown, my uncle is distressed. Ruan Qingyan smiled lightly and hugged him up—seeing that he loved his nephew so much, Fang Nongyan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Qiu Yulan an apologetic look.
It's just that he didn't know that Qiu Yulan was silently sympathizing with Fang Zijun: "I'll just say why did my cousin call him over at this eye joint to block him knowing that this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp?" The co-author cousin is now going to show Fang Nongyan and his son the color! ”
Although she couldn't see how Ruan Qingyan wanted to give the color, judging from the fact that he immediately remembered to arrange for himself after he was sad, it was impossible for him to have no placement strategy for Ruan Ciyi.
According to her understanding of Ruan Qingyan, this so-called resettlement strategy is eight out of ten. Nine fell on Fang Zijun.
Ruan Qingyan appeased Fang Zijun, and whispered to Ruan Cixiangyi and his wife what Old Lady Qi said—Fang Nongyan hesitated for a while, and said, "Since it's only been a few days, let's stay here to accompany my grandfather, right?" ”
"...... over there in the Taishi Bureau," Ruan Qingyan asked.
Fang Nongyan said: "It's okay, it's very ...... to be idle there" Speaking of this, he consciously lost his mouth, and smiled awkwardly - after all, the position of Taishi Jucheng was given to him by Ruan Qingyan, and now that he said that he was idle, it was inevitable that he would think that this errand was not good enough.
Qiu Yulan watched from the side, thinking to herself that whether this Fang Nongyan was advancing or not, he looked at it as an interesting person, but why did he teach Fang Zijun such an ignorant son? Although the six-year-old child is not very sensible, it stands to reason that he should be able to fill the scene.
She was stunned for a while, Ruan Qingyan had already agreed with them that everyone would live in the General's Mansion from now on and accompany General Ruan for the last few days.
Since the main purpose is to accompany General Ruan, the residence is not a matter of care - in fact, there is really no extra room for people to live in the General's Mansion now.
In a few words, several people decided to live in the Green Qiang Courtyard as usual, and the Cuiwei Pavilion, where Deng Yi had been housed in the past, was given to the Fang family.
Ruan Qingyan and Fang Nongyan took turns living in the study next to General Ruan, so that they could serve nearby.
After the discussion, Qiu Yulan returned to the Green Courtyard to change clothes, and Qiu Ran followed up: "Childe asked you not to go near the little prince of the Fang family in the future." ”
"What is my cousin going to do?" Qiu Yulan pulled off the silver hairpin on his head, and asked Su He to comb his hair in a more homely style, while asking, "I see that cousin-in-law is quite sensible, and that Fang Zijun is not like his father." I really don't know how their family taught, this kind of son didn't break into trouble when he was in Hezhou, and it was a good fate. ”
Qiu Ran smiled: "People can't be disguised. ”
These words are meaningful—Qiu Yulan's heart is racing: "Fang Nongyan is not a good one?" That's right, otherwise how would Fang Zijun be raised to look that nasty. ”
She sighed, "Don't worry about it for now, it's important to accompany my grandfather for the past two days." ”
"You rest first, there is a son guarding there tonight, if there is anything, I will come to invite you immediately." Autumn Dye said.
"Okay." Qiu Yulan was very relieved about Ruan Qingyan's arrangement, so he went to see General Ruan in the evening, and fell asleep when he returned to the house. When she fell asleep, she thought, it is said that everyone has a return to the light, and I don't know if this grandfather has it? If that's the case, how many words can you say and explain something? Speaking of which, she used the old man as a cover several times, but she never really said a word.
- In the middle of the night, she was shouted: "The old general has gone!" ”
