Deng Yi wore a deep coat with a dark embroidered mandala pattern on the crab shell and green ground, a brocade belt, a navy blue wide-sleeved placket, and a mutton fat jade hairpin in a square bun. The clothes are dull, the accessories are plain, and the expression is indifferent - but the beauty of the people is like spring flowers. On the high desk behind him, a pot of peony flowers that bloomed in the warm room, the flowers were red and green, and they were in full bloom, and they looked like they were not as good as people.

The little guy who came with him was also handsome, but standing behind him was dim.

Qiu Lulan entered the door, because he couldn't understand the way of this little guy, he coldly mixed a few words with Deng Yi, and then led him to ask General Ruan for peace.

General Ruan Lao can't even respond to his granddaughter, and of course his grandson-in-law will not have more face in the future.

Although Deng Yi was indifferent and had a bad temper, he was still respectful of the elder, and he did not show disgust in the face of the delirious old general Ruan, patiently accompanied him to talk, wiped the old general's saliva twice, and remembered to fold the quilt when he left.

The problem was when he got up—he was still holding the handkerchief in his hand that had wiped the saliva of General Nguyen.

One of the maids who specialized in serving General Ruan swore an oath, and came to receive it with respectful hands, and accidentally touched Deng Yi's fingertips.

Qiu Yulan can see this scene clearly, and he swears that he definitely has no intention of deliberately teasing, it is all a coincidence - but Deng Yi's face is iron-blue! He trembled his lips and cursed angrily, "", and then staggered towards the door! When I ran past Qiu Yulan, I almost bumped into her and didn't stop!

Qiu Yulan followed in amazement, and saw that after he went out of the room, he threw himself directly into the snow, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it vigorously against the place that had just been touched by the oath, it looked like something disgusting, and even his indifferent expression was so bitter hatred!

“…… Go get some hot water! Qiu Yulan came to his senses, Kang Jinzhang seemed to have said before he died that Deng Yi hated girls very much......

Uh, as for hating it to this point? I oathed so aggrieved that I was about to cry!

Su He fetched hot water, Qiu Lulan shouted a few times without shouting, and simply asked his little servant to drag him into the house - and then, before and after changing seven or eight basins of clean water, washing off a bunch of flower dew and pancreas, and almost rubbing off a few layers of skin on both hands - At this time, Deng Yi's forehead was already full of fine beads of sweat, so he took the silk handkerchief handed by his little servant and wiped his hands, but he didn't continue to ask for water.

Qiu Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't know how to comfort this psychological habit, so she simply jumped away: "It's almost noon, do you have dinner?" ”

Deng Yi glanced at her expressionlessly: "Okay." ”

So this matter passed - Qiu Yulan took advantage of the call to get food, asked Su He to comfort him, and then went to the front yard to call a few small servants to serve Deng Yi......

However, the little servants hadn't come over yet, Ruan Qingyan, who received the news of Deng Yi's arrival, vacated the time and came to invite him in person: "The little marquis Ling is here, because he is discussing important matters, and he told his subordinates not to disturb." I don't want to snub Deng Gongzi...... Please also go to the front hall to talk about it. He pretended to reprimand a few more words, Qiu Yulan didn't understand the rules, and didn't tell him the news that Deng Yi was here in time.

But without waiting for Deng Yi to say anything, Ruan Qingyan said again, "The younger sister is young and ignorant, but fortunately, Deng Gongzi is magnanimous and doesn't care about her." ”

Deng Yi didn't like to speak, so he snorted at this, and followed Ruan Qingyan along the way.

Qiu Yulan jumped in a hurry in the back, gesturing and letting Chun Dye go up and pull, so he left Dong Dye behind: "There is Penglai Moon in front, how can you let Deng Yi know?!" ”

Snubbing Deng Yi is at most a poor greeting, and Ling Zui came to the door first, and it is nothing to say that it is negligent - everyone knows the decline of General Ruan's Mansion over the years, and it is not surprising that people have made mistakes in doing things. This can't be blamed on the newcomer Ruan Qingyan.

But Deng Yi was neglected because he was discussing with Ling Xiaohou how to give a prostitute. Female support, this is not just as simple as despising Deng Yi.

Whether it is Princess Ruan's filial piety or General Ruan's sick bed, Ruan Qingyan has a relationship with the woman in the wind and dust on this eye joint, and the nature is the same as Qiu Mengmin's this time, that is, he is not filial! Empress Dowager Gu and her party want to catch this, it's no wonder if they don't laugh to death! How can you say that Deng Yi is always the same party as the Empress Dowager Gu!

Fortunately, Dong Ran said: "Don't worry, county lord, the son has only come over now, and he is sending Miss Penglai Yue!" Now there is only one little Marquis Ling in front of him. ”

"This little Marquis Ling is really true." Qiu Yulan put her mind at ease, and couldn't help but complain a few words, "For the New Year, I didn't say hello and ran to the door, even if I came, what is it with Penglai Yue?!" "You just pull sponsorship, you don't have to bring Peng Laiyue, right? Ruan Qingyan made it clear that the money was for your sake, not really for Penglaiyue!

Qiu Lulan could see clearly after hiding in the window lattice just now, Ruan Qingyan was very polite to Peng Laiyue, and occasionally said a few words of ridicule along with Ling Zui, but there was no indulgence in his eyes - this cousin has great ambitions, from the fact that he deliberately chose Xue Chang as the teacher, it can be seen that he has already planned his career, this kind of person knows the truth that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", how can he be easily confused by beauty?

Dong Ran smiled and comforted her: "Maybe Miss Penglai Yue wants to see our son...... Anyway, those who were all acting on the spot, and now they have been sent back. Don't be angry, county lord, you can handle these things! ”

Seeing that Dong Ran repeatedly assured that Ruan Qingyan was completely perfunctory in the current situation, Qiu Yulan was useless, and he accompanied General Ruan Lao, so he had to go back to the Green Rose Garden to find something to do.

But in addition to visiting relatives, the first month of the year is the most leisurely time of the year.

Zhou's mother was sad when she mentioned this: "Since the defeat of the old general and the death of our prince on the battlefield, ......"

Autumn Trolling Lan Patience. After listening to her story, Zi came to the conclusion that the Qiu family and the Ruan family were defeated in power, as well as the deliberate stumbling of Qiu Mengmin's mother and son, and the fact that General Ruan had been closed after the blow, so now she has no relatives to leave in Beijing......

"That's not good, so there is no connection at all!" Qiu Yulan sighed, "No wonder my cousins have been reduced to asking for names. Prostitutes act as intermediaries...... For the sake of being a middle-of-the-roader...... Mother Zhou, you make a list of relatives and friends in our family who should be able to move around, and I'll take a look when I come back. ”

Zhou's mother said happily: "It's not over yet...... New Year"

"It's not easy to move around now!" Qiu Yulan choked, "The Queen Mother and the Queen have made an appointment for the battle of the court after the Lantern Festival...... Uh, I mean Qiu Mengmin's matter is very sensitive now, don't let these people think that I am going to be a lobbyist for Empress Jiang, or think that I am a fox and a tiger and go to trouble them! How can we restore old friendships in this way? ”

Zhou's mother felt a pity: "Then when will I be able to walk?" ”

"Don't worry, it's not a day or two anyway, I have to familiarize myself with the current situation, and pick the top one, right?" When Qiu Yulan said this, she remembered that Zhou's mother was illiterate, so she sat down in front of the bookcase by herself, asked Xia Ran to study the ink, and asked Zhou's mother to dictate it, and she would memorize it.

Thankfully, all the skills of the original body remained, including the calligraphy ......

As a result, it was written, and Qiu Lulan accidentally touched the bottom of the bookcase, and when he heard a "click", a small dark drawer actually slipped out of the side of the bookcase!

Everyone was stunned!

"Did my cousin put it?" Autumn Trailing Lan was surprised to ask about spring dyeing and summer dyeing.

Chun Ran and Xia Ran glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "It is Autumn Dye and Winter Dye who take care of the inner room of the son, and the maids have never come in before." ”

"It can't be the previous people of the Ruan family, right?" Qiu Yulan glanced at the palm-sized glass box of the girl in the dark drawer, this glass box was very textured, crystal clear, and the contents were clear at a glance - like a ball of hay.

Qiu Yulan was curious, thinking that even Ruan Qingyan put it...... Anyway, it's all seen, take a few more looks...... It should be fine, right?

She simply put down the pen and took out the glass box to look at it carefully.

Chun Ran and the others didn't know if this thing was Ruan Qingyan or not, and whether they could show it to Qiu Yulan, so they didn't make a sound.

Qiu Yulan looked at the glass box for a moment, and found that it was not hay, but dried flowers, which looked like chrysanthemums. The original name and color are difficult to judge now, but the age should be relatively old, and it does not look like it is used for collection after a rigorous process.

"This thing...... As for the need to treasure? Qiu Yulan couldn't see anything strange in this dried flower, shook his head, put it back, and motioned for Zhou's mother to continue.

In the evening, Ruan Qingyan came.

Qiu Yulan asked him about Ling drunk and Deng Yi, Ruan Qingyan said: "Ling Xiaohou Ye went back to accompany his mother, Princess Maode, as for Deng Yi, he wanted to stay, I asked someone to clean up Cuiwei Pavilion for him." ”

Cuiwei Pavilion is far away from the Green Rose Garden-Ruan Qingyan is guarding against Deng Yi's thoughts obviously, but even if Deng Yi lives in this Green Rose Garden, judging from his dislike of women, it should be him who has the problem, right?

Qiu Yulan was complaining in her heart, and suddenly Ruan Qingyan glanced at her with a smile: "Are you happy to eavesdrop?" ”

"Uh......" Qiu Yulan smiled at him flatteringly, "Not next time!" ”

Ruan Qingyan was very simple: "How can everyone break the rules?!" Copy the "Female Rule" a hundred times! Handover before the Lantern Festival! ”

…… What if you suddenly feel the urge not to want your cousin? Qiu Yulan quickly changed the topic in seconds: "That's right, that's right!" Cousin, where did you get the stuff in the dark compartment of your desk? Isn't it yours? ”

Ruan Qingyan's face was really stiff: "How did you find it?" ”

"I accidentally touched it and it popped up." Qiu Yulan said innocently, "What are the dried flowers in that box?" ”

Ruan Qingyan glanced at her deeply and said indifferently: "It's the 'mud gold annunciation'." ”

Seeing that Qiu Yulan was confused, disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Haven't you seen it in Xihe Palace?" This is a famous product among chrysanthemums, and the color is as bright as mud gold. Because of the festive name, my aunt used to be out of the cabinet and was still in the dowry...... I remember that there should have been several plants in the yard where you lived. ”

Without waiting for Qiu Yulan to answer, Ruan Qingyan had already recovered his normal color, and said lightly: "Okay, is there anything else?" If not, hurry up and copy the "Female Rules"! Next time, let me see you do this kind of thing that would lose your status as a lady...... Think of the consequences yourself! ”

It's only been a few days! How did you go from being a good brother to teaching an aunt?! Is it because you are familiar with it and show your true face?!

Qiu Yulan was speechless with all kinds of grief and indignation......
