Chapter 266: First Strike
Chapter 266: The first strike is stronger
Mrs. Xiao lives in Xiao Rui's mansion, only a few streets away from Pingkangfang. She only planned to meet Ran Yan privately this time, so she went to Xiao Song's mansion in person.
An old man who is about to be ninety years old still works tirelessly for this matter. It can be imagined how much the old lady attaches importance to Xiao Song's marriage.
When they arrived at Pingkangfang, there were already small servants waiting at the door, and when they saw Luo and Ran Yan getting out of the car together, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then respectfully led them to the front hall.
Ran Yan has been here more than once, and there is even a special pharmacy for her in the attic of the study, so she knows that after this door, there is the front hall opposite. Ran Yan was calm, but her palms were a little sweaty, and she put her hand into her sleeve without a trace and wiped it clean with a handkerchief.
Luo and Ran Yan waited outside the door for a few breaths, and after the little maid entered the door to report, they quickly withdrew and invited them in.
Ran Yan was ruthlessly instilled with virtuous virtue by Xing Niang, and at this moment she honestly followed behind Luo, staring at Luo's heels.
Luo can be regarded as having seen a lot of big scenes, Mrs. Xiao looks amiable, much more kind than Xiao Song, she is a little less nervous, and respectfully bows and says, "I've seen Mrs. Xiao." ”
Luo was not in a hurry to introduce Ran Yan, and Ran Yan only saluted.
"Mrs. Luo, please take a seat." Mrs. Xiao's voice was ordinary, with the hull and trembling voices characteristic of the elderly, and she sounded very easy-going.
After sitting down, Ran Yan raised his eyes slightly, and saw the legendary old lady who was decisive and powerful, with a full head of silver-white hair and a low bun, because the old man did not have much hair, the bun was not as big as that of ordinary women, and he only used a sandalwood hairpin hairpin, wearing a dark blue satin coat with a dark auspicious bird tattooed on it. The old lady has experienced several troubled times, so she is not like an ordinary lady who only has a gorgeous empty shell, and her eyes are indifferent to seeing through the world, but they are hidden and resolute.
Just for a moment, the old lady found out that Ran Yan was secretly looking at her, but she didn't pierce it, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Ran Yan and said, "This is Ran Seventeen Niang." ”
With a decent smile on his face, Roche bowed slightly and said, "Exactly." ”
Ran Yan bowed and said, "I've seen Mrs. Tai." ”
"Come, come." Mrs. Xiao patted the position beside her, "Don't be restrained, sit next to me." ”
Ran Yan glanced at Xiao Song quickly, saw him smiling and bowed slightly, got up and walked over. The old lady found out, glared at Xiao Song unhappily, and said, "You go and get busy with yours, I heard that the official office has been busy recently, so don't talk to the woman's house." ”
Xiao Song coughed dryly, but he didn't get up, "Today...... Mu Xiu. ”
Mrs. Xiao didn't answer, just took a sip of tea, and then made a gesture to close her eyes and rest, intending to dry everyone up.
Mrs. Xiao has a noble status, and Man Datang can't find a few people who can be equal to her status, even if she is unhappy, it is not too rude to let Luo and Ran Yan hang for a day.
"The grandson suddenly remembered that there was really one thing that had to be done, thank you grandmother for reminding me, the grandson had left beforehand." Xiao Song said, saluted Mrs. Xiao, said hello to Luo Shi and Ran Yan, and got up to leave after completing the salutes.
As soon as Xiao Song left, Mrs. Xiao's attitude relaxed a lot. She glanced at Ran Yan a few times and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
Mrs. Xiao has long found out Ran Yan's ancestors for eighteen generations, how could she not know her age, but an elderly person likes to judge a person's character and temperament from words and deeds.
"My son is sixteen years old." Ran Yan's tone was respectful, but he habitually caught the other party's gaze when he spoke.
Such a person will invisibly give people a sense of oppression, but the old lady has experienced the world, not only does she feel pressured, but she appreciates it. If it were a princess who did this, she would feel that she should take it for granted, but Ran Yan's background is not high, and it is really not easy to maintain this confidence and composure when facing her.
Mrs. Xiao sent someone to inquire about Ran Yan's temperament before, but they all said that it was a gentle little jasper, she never believed it, Xiao Song was also brought up by her, Xiao Song is temperament and preferences, no one knows better than her.
"What is your birthday?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
Ran Yan said, "My son was born in March. ”
"Good March." Mrs. Shaw's jaw.
Ran Yan and Luo didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so they didn't dare to continue the conversation.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Ran Yan with a long look, pretended to mutter, and then said, "Yue'er doesn't have a maid by her side, so these two people around me will reward you, and you will have a support after you get married." ”
As he spoke, he asked the two twenty-eight girls who were kneeling behind him to come forward and salute Ran Yan.
Luo's eyes changed slightly, as a person who came over, she understood very well what Mrs. Xiao's words meant by "support", this marriage book has not yet been decided, so she is in a hurry to stuff people? And it's not the future mother-in-law, Luo Shi has doubts in his heart, and Mrs. Xiao doesn't look like that kind of unreasonable person
Ran Yan turned his head and looked at the two women, they hung their heads, wearing the light blue cardigan skirts of ordinary maids, holding double buns, and they didn't stand out among the six or seven maids.
"Mrs. Xie." Ran Yan bowed slightly and thanked him.
Mrs. Xiao's face remained unchanged, but a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to serve tea to the guests, she heard Ran Yan's flat voice say, "However, my son has not yet passed the door, and he has not had a marriage contract with Xiao Langjun, so it is not in accordance with the rules to bring people back to the mansion in this way, so it is better to stay in Xiao Shilang's mansion." ”
At the moment, Mrs. Xiao and Luo Che had different faces. Luo Shi is secretly anxious, silly girl, put it in this house, the man's blood is strong, the woman is pretty and lovely, waiting for you to hire three media and six hires, the sedan chair is carried into the door, maybe even the belly is big.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Ran Yan, and suddenly laughed, her thin and dry hand held Ran Yan's hand, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, she is worthy of the lady that my Yue'er fancies, and her mind and bearing are extraordinary." ”
Mrs. Xiao saw that Ran Yan had affection for Xiao Song, so naturally she would not think that she could be so generous that she didn't mind giving it away to her husband's couch, and she gave it so indifferently. Since she dared to do this, she naturally had already thought of a future move.
Luo Shi had a smile on his face, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart, this kind of situation was not something she could interject, and there was no way to give Ran Yan a hint under Mrs. Xiao's nose.
The next chat resumed its joy, and when Mrs. Xiao was not in a good manner, she was like an ordinary old woman, kind and dignified. Ran Yan's grandmother used to be a university professor, even if she was full of white hair, she was also very temperamental, just like Mrs. Xiao, but the difference is that grandma is gentle and soft, not as soft and hard as Mrs. Xiao.
After lunch, Mrs. Xiao said that there was a plum viewing party today, and she took Luo to enjoy the flowers together. Being able to get in touch with the noble lady is also very helpful to the Ran family's business, and Luo was naturally happy in his heart, and only shirked a few words, and left with Mrs. Xiao.
Ran Yan clenched her sleeves, lowered her eyes and secretly wondered, why did Mrs. Xiao leave him here alone?
Just thinking about it, black shoes appeared in front of her, Ran Yan looked up along the shoes, but saw Xiao Song looking at her with a smile.
"The old lady knows you're there." It must be Mrs. Xiao who knows that Xiao Song has always been nearby, so she will leave her alone.
"Hmm." Xiao Song looked at the two more maids in the room, and immediately understood what was going on, and waved everyone down.
He watched Wanlu lead the two to exit, and after closing the door, he said, "The old lady stuffed you with someone?" ”
Ran Yan endured a dry mouth for a long time, drank a sip of water before looking at him and said, "It's for you to stuff people." Are you high or not? ”
Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, looked at her inquiringly for a moment, and smiled happily, "Ah Yan is jealous?" He sat down next to Ran Yan, held her hand and said, "You just pretend to be stupid and stay by your side to be a maidservant, can the old lady still carry people to my couch?" ”
"The old lady won't, but others have hearts and legs, and they will climb up by themselves." Ran Yan has seen a lot of such things, even in the future life, aren't there so many people who are willing to climb into other people's beds without being famous?
"I'm not the son of the small building, how can anyone climb my couch?" Xiao Song said. He is not strict with the law, but he has never regarded sleeping with a woman as a thing of enjoyment, proud as he is, and feels that casual skin-to-skin kissing with a woman may not be the one who suffers.
Xiao Song honestly told Ran Yan what he was thinking.
Ran Yan, who listened to it for a while, was speechless, crying and laughing, and came back to his senses after a while, "Then I still took a big advantage?" ”
"Not really." Xiao Song smiled and said, "But I'm willing to take advantage of you." ”
"Xiao Yuezhi, I think you've become narcissistic." Ran Yan appraised. If it weren't for narcissism, what normal ancient man would think so? No, from ancient times to the present, what normal man would think so?
In fact, Xiao Song and Ran Yan treat feelings and sexuality as the same kind of people, one is used to seeing life and death, the other is used to seeing the world, and they both have different degrees of coldness in this regard.
Ran Yan lowered his eyes and was silent.
Xiao Song shook her hand and said, "What I said is true. ”
Ran Yan nodded, "I know, but what if you think that besides me, there are other women besides me who make you willing to be taken advantage of?" Ran Yan groaned and said, "I think we should start first, and cut the grass to remove the roots, otherwise the wildfire will not be able to burn, and the spring breeze will blow and grow." ”
Xiao Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how are you going to start first?" ”
"I have already told Mrs. Tai to put these two maids in your house, why don't I kill them first...... Send a few to kill a few, and make your life too hard, and kill any woman except me. And they died. After Ran Yan finished speaking, he paused, staring at Xiao Song with dark eyes, "Do you think there is something wrong with my plan?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Xiao Song was dumbfounded, for the first time in many years, he really showed such a surprised expression, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, laughed loudly, patted her hand lightly and said, "It seems that I have caused a ** annoyance." ”
