General Ruan's Mansion is located in the north of the capital and is the only residence of the Ruan family.

The whole house looks a little gloomy because of the planting of too many towering pines and cypresses, and inside the high walls, it feels colder than being blown by the wind outside.

Qiu Yulan walked out of the house where General Ruan was housed with a gloomy face.

Ruan Qingyan is not at home today, but fortunately, although he brought a group of people into the general's mansion after he became the heir, the housekeeper is still the former Ruan An. So Qiu Yulan arrived here smoothly - it can be seen that Ruan Qingyan has put a lot of thought into the placement of General Ruan.

The room behind her was warm and airy, the windows were bright and spacious, and the inside was very neatly tidy. The earth dragon is warm, the furnishings are simple, but the things are carefully selected. There is a plum bonsai on the high table, and there are daffodils on the lower shelf, which is fragrant and full of fragrance.

It's Qiu Yulan who is coming out now, and the corners of his clothes are still dyed with a faint fragrance of flowers.

The old general Ruan, who could be carefully cared for, was lying in the brocade quilt with a skeletal and delirious appearance...... Although he was old and sick, Qiu Yulan knew that the biggest reason was the sleeping incense. Otherwise, in my memory, in the early autumn, this old man also personally demonstrated some martial arts to the original body, how could he weaken so quickly!

"Old Mrs. Lu doesn't die, I can't feel at ease!" Qiu Yulan bit her lip, thinking viciously in her heart - she accompanied General Ruan in it to say a cup of tea, just to wipe the other party's saliva, she used three!

Ruan An, who was guarding outside, greeted him: "County Lord, the son is coming back soon." ”

"So early? Didn't you just say that you won't be back until the evening? Qiu Yulan put away his thoughts and said in surprise.

Ruan An said: "The old slave sent someone to look for it, and when the son heard that you were coming, he came back early." ”

"Uncle Ruan, you will see the outside like this, what if your cousin has something serious?" Qiu Yulan shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the door to greet you." ”

This is not just her politeness, because the General's Mansion has been in decline for many years, and now in addition to the house where General Ruan lives and the place where his subordinates live, Ruan Qingyan's courtyard has been cleaned up. As for the flower hall and the front hall for hospitality, she didn't get anything at all, so she had no place to stay when she left General Ruan's house.

Ruan An also knew this, and after a few polite words, he accompanied her to the front door.

The master and servant were talking behind the door, and it didn't take long for the door to knock on the door, saying that Ruan Qingyan was back.

Hearing this, Qiu Yulan lifted her skirt lightly, and shouted while stepping out of the threshold: "Cousin! She was about to speak next, but she heard a delicate voice under the stairs and said, "Ruan Lang, you still have such a little beauty in your family, why don't you tell Shenshen?" Are you still afraid that you won't be able to sip vinegar deeply? ”

With a charming voice, following Ruan Qingyan's horse, a girl in green and a little girl in blue walked neatly.

This girl in green is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white and red goose egg face, curved eyebrows like frowns, eyes like apricots, and she looks delicate and lovely.

She is also dressed brightly: she has a double bun on her head, two jade hibiscus hairpins are inserted diagonally, a bright moon bead in her ears, and a silk bracelet on her wrist, like a rich lady. However, seeing that she took the initiative to get out of the car, she took the initiative to run to Ruan Qingyan, who had just dismounted, and held his arm tightly, looking at her with undisguised hostility......

Qiu Yulan slowly frowned, and looked at Ruan Qingyan with confusion and dissatisfaction: Princess Ruan died, and Ruan Qingyan, as a nephew, had five months of filial piety, how long has it been now? is actually openly messing with flowers?

Ruan Qingyan was originally promising Qiu Yulan's "cousin" to walk up the steps, but the green-clothed girl grabbed her arm, and suddenly lowered her face, turned her head sideways and said to her: "This is my aunt's daughter, who came to visit my grandfather today, you speak more respectfully!" ”

The green-clothed girl was scolded by him in public, her face froze, and she couldn't get off the stage, so she shook his hand angrily, but when Ruan Qingyan took two steps, her eyes showed reluctance, and she laughed again and chased after her: "Oh, people don't know!" The so-called ignorant is not a sin......"

Seeing Ruan Qingyan stop, looking at himself coldly, with the intention of chasing away guests, the green-clothed girl rolled her eyes, hurriedly saluted Qiu Yulan, and said with a smile: "The slave family is deep, and she lives in the south of the city 'Drinking Spring Building', I don't know that it is Miss Table, and I ask Miss Table for forgiveness!" ”

Qiu Yulan heard that she deliberately called herself "Miss Cousin" as a member of the General's Mansion, and she was stunned in her heart, and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

"Ruan Lang......" Hua bent her deep and bright eyes, and looked at Ruan Qingyan pitifully, "You don't care about Miss Watch......

"You go back." Ruan Qingyan looked calm, but he was very annoyed because his cousin bumped into him and a woman in a green building, so he was naturally in no mood to coax her, "I said a long time ago that you don't need to send it." ”

Hua Shen followed to the threshold, and saw that Ruan Qingyan just beckoned Qiu Lulan to enter, and thoughtfully told her: "Don't stand in the wind in the future...... Why are you waiting for me here? In the future, stay in the house, is it difficult to be polite to be a brother? ”

"Wrongdoer! So ruthless! Seeing the door close in front of her, Hua scolded with deep hatred, but had no choice but to turn around.

The little girl in blue was also angry: "How many princes and nobles, I want to see the girl but I can't get it." This Ruan Gongzi is just the heir of a defeated general, and his fame is just a person, and being able to be regarded as a guest by the girl is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue! How dare you snub a girl like this! I really don't know whether to live or die! When I go back in a while, talk to those people and see if he can survive tomorrow! ”

"Shut up!" Unexpectedly, Hua listened deeply, but her face sank, and she shouted, "Go back and tighten my mouth!" Dare to talk nonsense, ask someone to hurt Ruan Lang, be careful of your skin! ”

The little maid was startled, and hurriedly said: "Girl, the maid is sorry for you......"

"It's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, don't say that she may not have any hookup with Ruan Lang, even if she does, do you think I can't rob her?!" Hua said with deep disdain, "Go back and ask me what the little girl is about - don't do anything superfluous!" ”

The little maid said cautiously: "Yes!" ”
