Ruan's Mansion is in Tongshanfang, not far from Qujiang Furong Garden, and next to the Imperial History Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion - the mansion of Wen Zheng under the Pingzhang Shi of the Ministry of Shangshu and the same Zhongshu 'Gate', which is not a coincidence, but because Ruan Zhi's parents died when he was a child and was raised by his uncle Wen Zheng, so the two families deliberately chose together after the house.

Yesterday, You's sent someone to post over, the carriage just arrived at the bottom of the steps, and the little guy who knew the coachman had already run in to report back, and not long after, I saw a plain clothes and a simple hairpin' woman', accompanied by a young man in a fancy costume and a simple crown, with a group of 'waiters' to greet him, and You's busy introducing Zhuo Zhaojie: "This is your aunt." ”

Zhuo Fanghua is only one year younger than Zhuo Xiaoli, and now she is more than forty years old, but she is only as talented as thirty, she looks very much like Min Pinghou, so she is not very beautiful, but she has a kind of majestic bearing, although at this moment there is closeness in her look, but it is still difficult to hide the fierce momentum in her soft tone, and after a little look at Zhuo Zhaojie, she nodded and praised: "Live off a little beauty." ”

You Shi was very polite to this eldest sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "I should have come over to show my eldest sister yesterday, but this child was so sleepy the day before that he overslept all of a sudden." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie's face couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this, Zhuo Fanghua didn't care, and said: "Moling has traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, and I can't fly away here, why urge her to go out like this, I'm tired carefully." Looking at Zhuo Zhaojie carefully, the circles under his eyes were red, and the fierceness dissipated a lot, and he lost his mind, "It's really like a mother." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie had already heard a lot of this, thinking about this aunt's preferences, so he smiled shyly and lowered his head.

"The eldest brother and the husband also said that it was like." You knew that Zhuo Zhaojie was born very much like her mother-in-law, and she was very advantageous in front of Dafang and Zhuo Fanghua, so she smiled slightly and said, "I think she owes her mother a little bit of her charm back then." ”

Zhuo Fanghua's eyes drifted for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Let's go inside and talk." He personally took Zhuo Zhaojie's hand and said, "Good boy, come and show my aunt recently." ”

You Shi gave Zhuo Zhaojie a look, signaling her to follow Zhuo Fanghua, the two walked while talking, and when they arrived at the main hall and sat down as the guest of honor, Zhuo Fanghua remembered to introduce the young man in fancy clothes next to him, and said, "This is your cousin Ruan." ”

The young man in Chinese clothes, Ruan Yunshu, accompanied his adoptive mother in and out for a long time before he was remembered, but there was no impatience on his face, he got up with a smile and greeted Zhuo Zhaojie, and quietly accompanied him.

Although Zhuo Fanghua has a lot of nieces and nephews, but the younger generations of the big house and the fourth room are always different, not to mention that Zhuo Zhaojie is very similar to the Liang family - Zhuo Fanghua is for the Liang family to the point of not interacting with her mother's family for many years, and she can't help but have special pity for this niece 'daughter', Zhuo Zhaojie compares her preferences to the You's 'handover' generation, and welcomes her everywhere, Zhuo Fanghua likes her very much, and the two mothers and 'daughters' have lunch, thought about it, and said: "Yun Shu, you take Qi Niang to our home to see, The fire alchemy pill in the greenhouse will open next month, if Qi Niang likes it, divide one and let her take it back. ”

Seeing that she had something to say to You's like this, Ruan Yunshu hurriedly got up to ask for it, and Zhuo Zhaojie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief - although Zhuo Fanghua liked her, but this eldest aunt's all-round bearing really made people tremble, she was favored when she was young, and when she saw Min Pinghou, she was resentful because of the influence of Ban's family, and she didn't feel afraid of being nervous, but there was a feeling of having to be well-behaved in front of this eldest aunt, and it was no wonder that Minping Hou was such a strong person, and he couldn't suppress this eldest 'daughter'.

When the two cousins went out of the 'door', Ruan Yunshu said, "Cousin, do you want to go directly to see the Fire Alchemy Pill, or do you want to see the garden first?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "It's good for my cousin to call the shots." ”

Ruan Yunshu is a polite and modest young man, the Ruan family has never had many guests, he has little experience in entertaining 'female' guests, especially Zhuo Zhaojie's appearance is terrifying, in this 'spring' mountain gradually wakes up in the season of more and more pressing, he slightly tilted his head, avoiding some of the scorching light before smiling as usual and said: "Let's walk slowly along the garden to the conservatory." ”

Along the way, Ruan Yunshu had to introduce some scenic spots, plants and trees to her, Zhuo Zhaojie was talking to him, and suddenly remembered that when the old lady Lu was born in Moling in the past, the young man named Bai Ziqian also accompanied him to meet the old lady like this, and later ......

She lost her mind slightly, thinking that when Ning Shaobi said goodbye to herself, she said that she would see her in Chang'an, but now that she has arrived in Chang'an, where can she say that she will see you in the courtyard of the deep house? What's more, the two families are not in harmony - thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a little melancholy, and I don't have the heart to look at the surrounding scenery carefully.

Ruan Yunshu noticed her wandering, only when she was not interested in the garden, she chose a shortcut, and went directly to the greenhouse, the Ruan family's greenhouse occupies a lot of land, and the glass that sets up the greenhouse alone is not a small number, Ruan Yunshu introduced: "This greenhouse is made by my mother, and there are many 'flowers' and trees in it, including the fire alchemy pill, which are all taken care of by my mother." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie took a few glances at the peony that was known as the most 'gorgeous', but it has not yet opened, and only occasionally 'exposed' a little red from the bud is indeed a very 'glamorous' color.

The two brothers and sisters talked about the topic of peonies, and Ruan Yunshu said: "There is a peony 'flower' meeting in Luoyang every year, and we have also had it in Chang'an in the past two years, if my cousin likes it, you can go and see it at that time." ”

"Hey, when is it?" There are few little ladies who don't like 'flowers', not to mention that the peony is known as the country's 'color' and fragrant, Zhuo Zhaojie was busy asking.

Ruan Yunshu said: "In previous years, it started in March, and this year it is estimated that it is about the same. "That's next month — that's just a few days away.

was talking about the peony 'flower' meeting, outside the conservatory suddenly walked in a little lady wearing a hibiscus white phoenix rain silk brocade 'handed' collar and a cherry red fairy skirt, combing a double screw bun like Zhuo Zhaojie, hairpin with a pair of glazed steps, sideburns decorated with a few pink 'color' hibiscus 'flowers', this little lady is like a full moon, distant mountain eyebrows, apricot eyes, the bridge of the nose is 'straight', cherry 'lips' are dyed, followed by two pretty maids', she entered the 'door' with a smile at the corner of her mouth, and was 'desire' and Ruan Yunshu greeted, glimpsed Zhuo Zhaojie, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Cousin Wen." Ruan Yunshu was not surprised to see her, greeted her, and introduced the two of them, "This is Wen Xiaoliu Niang of Wen Xiang's family next door." ”

He also introduced Zhuo Zhaojie, "This is the cousin of the Zhuo family, Xiao Qi Niang, who just came back from Moling." ”

That Wen Xiaoliu Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and said kindly: "You must be the young 'girl' of the fourth room of the Minping Marquis Mansion!" I've heard my cousin mention it many times that you won't be able to come back until you're ready, and now it's time to see it. She pointed to herself, "My ranking cousin Ruan has already told you, my name is Tan Rong, and I only met Lu in August, and now I don't have a word." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "My name is Zhaojie, and I am in the first month of the first month, and the word is the first year old." ”

"The first year of Yuanzuo?" Wen Tanrong said with a smile, "The first of the four seasons of Zhaojie, the first year is Yuanzuo, and the first in terms of seasons and months - it's strange that Sister Daozhuo is so good-looking." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie has long been accustomed to hearing the praise he has received for his appearance, and smiled generously: "Sister Wen, don't just talk about me, aren't you also a beauty?" ”

After a few words of greeting, Ruan Yunshu explained in a soft and slow voice beside him, it turned out that the Ruan and Wen families lived next to each other because of the relationship between Ruan Zhi and Wen Zheng's uncle and nephew, and the relationship was harmonious. The women walked around Zhuo Fanghua from time to time to comfort her.

And Wen Tanrong's temperament is very similar to Ruan Yun, they are both gentle and gentle, Zhuo Fanghua especially likes her, she is patient, willing to accompany Zhuo Fanghua to reminisce about her love for her 'daughter', carefully comforting and persuading, over time, almost every day to come back, the Ruan family is not informed, familiar as if in the prime minister's mansion.

Zhuo Zhaojie heard that she had to come over to accompany Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua for an hour or two almost every day after Ruan Yun's death, rain or shine, she couldn't help but be in awe, and said sincerely: "Sister Wen is really virtuous and virtuous, compared to me, I am really unfilial." ”

Wen Tanrong said with a smile: "Sister Zhuo said this, you just came back from Jiangnan, in the past, even if you wanted to be filial, you had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and you can't say that I came to the house to accompany my cousin and aunt, and I am also my cousin and aunt who love me, speaking of which, I am the one who takes advantage." ”

This Wen Tan Rong is the prime minister's grandson' daughter, and her father is also a state assassin history, she is young and beautiful, but she rarely sees the high 'door' noble 'daughter' or arrogance, but it seems approachable, gentle and modest, her gentleness and modesty are different from Zhuo Zhaoshu's gentleness and modesty, Zhuo Zhaoshu is quiet with the air of a book, which reminds people of the bamboo on the desk pavilion 'jade', but Wen Tanrong is more inclined to Rulan's elegant and chaste, and has more demeanor.

It is difficult for such a little lady not to have a good impression of her, for a moment, Zhuo Zhaojie has already spoken well with her, and left Ruan Yunshu, who was originally a companion, aside, Ruan Yunshu smiled good-naturedly, and didn't care - so Wen Tanrong and Zhuo Zhaojie went to the peony 'flower' meeting together when the time came, and chirped about the topics that the little ladies were interested in for a long time, until Zhuo Fanghua sent someone to invite them back, but they were still unsatisfied, and they hated to see each other late.

When she arrived at the main hall, Zhuo Fanghua saw Wen Tanrong, her face 'revealed' a warm 'color', and said: "I have worked hard for you to accompany you every day, and I don't know which life I and your cousin have accumulated blessings to have such benefits." ”

Wen Tanrong smiled like a 'flower' and said: "I am still telling Sister Zhuo that I have come over every day to disturb me in the past two years, and my cousin and aunt have never cared, so I am blessed to have met such a good cousin and aunt!" ”

You pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Wei Dao always praises Wen Xiaoniang, and there is nothing more comforting and sweeter than this." ”

Zhuo Fanghua originally planned to stay in Zhuo Zhaojie to live in Ruan's Mansion, but after You's Shen 'Yin', he still refused, the reason was that he had discussed with the eldest lady, and he would set up a banquet for Zhuo Zhaojie's return in two days, and invite the little ladies of all families to be present, and also to recognize Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Fanghua said: "Isn't this banquet the same here?" I'm having a hard time right now. ”

Although she said this, Zhuo Fanghua thought that although the You family had more than one biological 'daughter', Zhuo Zhaojie only came back after many years, and was left in the Ruan family for less than two days after coming back, no wonder the You family was reluctant, so You found an excuse to shirk it, she regretted it and agreed first, and only advised: "In a few days, let her come and accompany me." ”

You Shi agreed, and Wen Tanrong next to him listened quietly, and said with a smile: "I also hope that Sister Zhuo will stay here with my cousin, so that I will have more playmates...... The banquet set up by the Marquis of Minping, I want to be cheeky and ask for a post. ”

Wen Tanrong and several little ladies in Zhuo's Mansion also know each other, even if there is no acquaintance with Zhuo Zhaojie in the greenhouse today, this post is indispensable to her, You Shi said with a smile: "Where can I forget Wen Xiaoniang?" ”
