The corners of Qin Taoxi's mouth tightened, and he didn't say a word, his eyes were filled with endless anger.

is gentle on the surface, mean on the inside, and it is really not easy to say what ridicules others so well.

Shen Yuechen slowly picked up the tea on the table and took another sip.

Her words have been made clear, and everything depends on what the Qin clan does.

Then, the little maid outside the door trotted in and said, "Grandma, Miss Linluo is here." ”

As soon as her words fell, Ruan Linluo walked in with the corner of her skirt, and as soon as she came in, she saw Qin Taoxi kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but secretly glance at it, and then ran to Shen Yuechen happily, and called "sister-in-law" delicately.

She is still in good spirits, with a double bun on her head, a pair of pink pearl earrings on her earlobes, and a new apricot yellow embroidered placket on her body, and a floral emerald gauze dew lily skirt underneath, and the skirt is full of small flowers, which is very exquisite.

When Shen Yuechen saw her coming, she hurriedly eased her spirits, smiled a flower on her face, and said, "Sister Linluo is here." ”

She helped her to sit on the chair next to her, and asked Chun Ming to make her tea and bring fruit.

Ruan Linluo slept well last night, so she woke up late in the morning and didn't make it in time to greet everyone at breakfast. After that, the old lady asked her to take a nap with her, and she crooked for a while. In the afternoon, I couldn't lie down anymore, so I was let out by the old lady to walk around. She went to greet her two aunts first, and finally came to the west courtyard, but she didn't expect that Shen Yuechen's house was like this.

Shen Yuechen saw that her complexion was excellent, and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister had a good rest last night." ”

Ruan Linluo nodded with a smile and said, "I never recognize the bed, so I fall asleep when I am sleepy." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she just laughed, and after laughing, she turned her head to look at Qin Taoxi and said, "This is the daughter of the eldest aunt, why don't you hurry up and ask for peace." ”

Qin Taoxi had been paying attention to Ruan Linluo's every move, only to feel that her eyes were very raw, she must not be from the Zhu family, but she didn't expect that she was actually a young lady in the Jingguo Mansion.

Qin Taoxi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed, but because his mind was not calm, he had a bad breath in his chest, and he was speechless for a while.

Ruan Linluo glanced at the Qin family thoughtfully, tilted her head and asked Shen Yuechen, "Sister-in-law, who is this beautiful sister?" ”

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "She is Aunt Qin, and she is your eldest cousin's concubine." ”

Ruan Linluo nodded, thinking that since her surname was Qin, she probably had something to do with the deceased Qin Hongjuan, so she smiled at her slightly: "Oh, it turned out to be Aunt Qin." ”

She gently leaned next to Shen Yuechen's side, looked at Qin Taoxi's face carefully, and felt that she and Qin Hongjuan didn't look like each other at all.

Qin Hongjuan is an apricot kernel eye, while Qin Taoxi is a danfeng eye, one is noble and the other is charming, which is really far apart.

Since Qin Taoxi is a concubine, in front of Ruan Linluo, she must regard herself as a slave and maid, which is the most beasurable.

"The concubine greets Miss Linluo."

Ruan Linluo replied to her with a smile: "Auntie doesn't have to be polite. After speaking, he looked at Shen Yuechen beside him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, did I come at the right time to disturb your speech?" ”

Shen Yuechen smiled and shook his head: "What's not to disturb?" Aunt Qin and I are just gossiping. Just now, I was thinking about going over to look for you, but coincidentally, the two of us thought of going together. ”

Ruan Linluo knew that she wasn't telling the truth, how could anyone kneel on the ground and chatter, but she still followed her words and continued: "Okay, I haven't walked enough in the garden yesterday, let's go shopping again today." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded, took Ruan Linluo's hand and got up to leave, but after he walked, he suddenly turned his eyes to look at Qin Taoxi, and said in a cold tone: "You happen to be here today, why don't you go to the garden with us." ”

Qin Taoxi glanced up at her, and replied with a smile: "Concubine is not feeling well today, let's go back next time." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she also smiled and said, "By the way, Aunt Qin is injured, but I forgot." I'm tired of thinking about you today, so go back and rest, just don't think about it anymore. With that, he walked out of the house without looking back.

Ruan Linluo had the heart to look back and take a second look, but saw Qin Taoxi standing behind with a calm face, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked very scary.

Ruan Linluo immediately glanced at Shen Yuechen thoughtfully, and then said in a half-loud voice: "That Aunt Qin doesn't seem to have a good temper. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Where did you see it?" ”

Ruan Linluo said lightly: "I can't say it, I just have a feeling." ”

When she was still at home, her mother told her more than once that the women in the mansion were not easy to provoke, and the dispute between wives and concubines was the most painful.

Shen Yuechen smiled faintly, and led her through the twists and turns of the hand-copying verandah to Changchun Garden, and after a while, she spoke: "Aunt Qin is of noble birth, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant. ”

Ruan Linluo thought for a while and said: "My father also has a few aunts, and they keep making trouble every day for sesame mung beans, which is very annoying. So sometimes, I'm in this world, but all the powerful and brutal women go to make concubines. ”

Shen Yuechen almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and stretched out her hand and gently tapped her forehead, "How can there be such a reason?" It's just that it varies from person to person. ”

Ruan Linluo casually dragged a few leaves, threw them on the ground with some anger, frowned slightly, and said: "Sister-in-law, I really don't understand sometimes, what are they fighting every day?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen's heart moved slightly, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either." Yes, there are too many things they want. ”

"Some people fight because they are in their position and are forced to do so, and they have no choice from the beginning. Some people fight because they have too much greed in their hearts, they want everything, they want everything for themselves, but in the end they often end up empty. There are also some people who fight because they have nothing to do, and they want to pass away those empty and boring time, because they are not happy, so they can't see the good of others. Come to think of it, there are thousands of people in this world, and there are thousands of different fighting methods, so naturally there will be no time to stop. ”

When Ruan Linluo heard this, there was a slight light flickering in her eyes, and she felt that what she said was almost exactly the same as what her mother said, the same look, the same tone, and the same worry.

Ruan Linluo looked at Shen Yuechen for a while, seemed to think of something, and then pulled her hand with a smile and said, "Since ancient times, mediocre people have disturbed themselves!" If they are willing to toss around, let them toss, let's just play with ours. ”

Shen Yuechen saw her smiling innocently, she couldn't help but feel a little envious, and nodded hurriedly: "My sister is right, let's enjoy ourselves, let's let them toss around." ”

The two then looked at each other and smiled, each putting aside the troubles in their hearts for the time being, and concentrating on enjoying the flowers and scenery.

Before dinner, Shen Yuechen sent Ruan Linluo back to the old lady, and then returned to the west courtyard and told Chun Ming to open his dowry box and find a few things to come out.

Speaking of which, her dowry is quite rich, except for the fabric of her clothes, the rest of the things are always kept in the box, and she is never easily opened.

At this time, Shen Yuechen was trying to prepare a suitable meeting gift for Ruan Linluo.

There were a lot of delicate jewelry in her dowry, which her grandmother had personally selected for her, and because it was so gorgeous, she almost never wore it, and always put it in a box, which was indeed a pity.

Shen Yuechen chose and chosen, and finally picked a bracelet, hurriedly packed it in a box inlaid with broken jade, and sent it to the main courtyard in person.

Ruan Linluo saw that she had prepared a gift for herself, and she was overjoyed, just looking at the exquisite and beautiful box, she knew that the contents must be more valuable, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the old man and the old lady couldn't help but be a little curious, and they didn't know what kind of treasure was prepared inside, so they asked Ruan Linluo to open it immediately and take a look.

Ruan Linluo opened the box and saw a pair of golden bracelets inside.

The old lady picked one up and took a closer look, only to see that the bracelet was three or four heavy, and the bracelet was finely engraved with the pattern of goldfish playing in the water, and in the middle position, inlaid with a crystal clear ruby, she couldn't help but praise: "Look at this color, it is generally a thousand pure gold." ”

The old lady glanced at Shen Yuechen in surprise, then put the bracelet on Ruan Linluo's slender wrist, looked left and right, and said "um" with great satisfaction. "Your sister-in-law was so generous that she almost compared your aunt to the past."

Ruan Linluo felt that this bracelet was heavy and uncomfortable to wear, but on the contrary, it didn't look as cute as the small box inlaid with broken jade.

The old lady knew the most about gold, silver and jade, and knew that this bracelet was handmade at a glance, so she looked at Shen Yuechen and quipped: "This bracelet must be your dowry." It's a shame that you are usually reluctant to wear it out, so you can take it out and give it away, what if you feel distressed when you go back? ”

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "My sister is from a famous family, and she has seen all kinds of good things, so my little heart is nothing." My sister has fair skin, and she is the most beautiful when she wears gold and jade, and this bracelet is placed in my place, but it's a pity, it's not as good as my sister to wear it. ”

Shen Yuechen knew in her heart that her kindness to Ruan Linluo was tantamount to pleasing the two old men, and it was worth spending as much money as she wanted.

The old lady smiled and glanced at her, "All the good things in this world are almost all for you to say!" Call the people in your courtyard and let me ask, who put sugar on your mouth? ”

The old man was beside him, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are so sensible, and grandpa will have something to reward you when you go back." ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up to salute and thank you.
