Ran Wen eased his complexion slightly, and walked towards the house with Ran Yan.

After entering the inner hall, Ran Wen looked around a few times, and the items were exquisite and not old.

Ran Yan saw Ran Wen sit down on the main seat, so he sat down. Seeing this Tang Dynasty father, Ran Yan felt complicated. Ran Yan's father in his previous life was a chemist, who boasted of humor, and especially liked to tell Ran Yan some jokes that ordinary people couldn't understand.

However, the father in the hall is gentle and respectful, and the relationship between the elders and the younger generations is clear, and her father who is not in tune with life are two extremes, somehow, Ran Yan misses her parents very much at this moment.

"Ah Yan." Ran Wen saw Ran Yan's beautiful face clearly, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he instantly calmed down again, "Father sees that your illness is almost cured, and I will send someone to take you home in a few days." ”

Ran Yan frowned subconsciously, in this situation now, the days after going back will inevitably be more difficult. She didn't miss Ran Wen's look at all, I'm afraid he was far more calculating than caring!

"It's very good here, I want to recuperate for a while, besides, I haven't been back home for two years, I'm afraid I have to bother Mrs. to prepare, if it's too hasty, I'm afraid Mrs. will be tired." No matter what, Ran Yan has to try her best to stay for a while, and the lives of Yan Niang and a few people are still in her hands.

Ran Wen picked up the tea offered by Wanlu, and said with a little displeasure, "That's your mother!" How to call Mrs.? ”

Ran Yan was silent, if she called the original owner's biological mother as A-Niang, it would be acceptable, after all, she used someone else's body, but the stepmother was the original Ran Yan who was unwilling to recognize her mother, and Ran Yan would not go against her wishes.

Seeing Ran Yan's stubbornness and persistence, Ran Wen was a little annoyed, but looking at Ran Yan's delicate and beautiful face, he suppressed his anger again, and said softly, "That's it, since you have this filial piety, you can stay in Zhuangzi for another half a month for the time being, and think about it carefully." ”

I haven't figured it out for two years, but I can figure it out in half a month? Ran Yan couldn't help but wonder if it was an illusion to see the little pity in Ran Wen's eyes in the courtyard.

"Yes." Ran Yan responded.

Half a month is enough for her to finish the matter of the Colorful Embroidery Pavilion.

Ran Wen nodded, "That's fine." He got up and walked towards the door, and when he reached the door, he paused, turned around, and said, "The matter of deducting the moon will be found out by the father." ”

In accordance with etiquette, Ran Yan got up and put on sandals under the porch, and personally sent Ran Wen away.

After returning to the courtyard, Xing Niang's eyes were red, and she pulled Ran Yan and said, "Lady, you must not call your stepmother, you can't call your stepmother, you come out of such a small family, and you have no virtue, and you don't deserve to be the mother of a lady at all!" ”

Hearing Xing Niang say this, Ran Yan couldn't help but recall, but she couldn't think of her biological mother's life experience, she only remembered that a few days ago, Night Green said that although her mother's maiden family was in a recession, it was a big family.

"Xing Niang, my mother is a noble daughter?" Ran Yan asked.

Xing Niang's face changed slightly, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Lang Jun forbids the slaves and maids to talk to you about this matter, but the old slave looks at Lang Jun's attitude today, and I am afraid that he will not be the master of the lady's affairs...... His wife's surname is Zheng and she was born in Xingyang Zheng. ”

"Xingyang Zheng Clan!" Some common sense appeared in Ran Yan's heart, the Boling Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Xingyang Zheng family, the Longxi Li family, and the Taiyuan Wang family were called the five surnames and seven families. In addition, Jingzhao Wei's, Hedong Pei's, Hedong Liu's, Hedong Xue's, Lanling Xiao's, and Jingzhaodu's are all Dashi clans with a long history, and they are still gate valve clans.

Ran Yan was stunned, and when the mother of the archaeologist in the previous life gave her the Chengni inkstone, she said triumphantly: I bought this inkstone at the stall in Wangfujing, and with my mother's countless experience in reading ancient times, I saw at a glance that this was definitely a good thing, so I bought it decisively. Later, I took it to antique experts for identification, and this inkstone was unearthed in the tomb of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, which is an antiquity from the early Tang Dynasty to the middle Tang Dynasty...... The value is at least more than 200,000 yuan, and my mother only spent 500 yuan, amazing!

"Lady!" Xing Niang shook her stunned face in panic.

Ran Yan came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking, since my mother is the Zheng family of Xingyang, why would Wanlu say that my mother's maiden family is in a recession?" ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Xingyang Zheng family was not active on the historical stage, but because of its noble family, just the four words "Xingyang Zheng Family" were all gold-lettered signboards that could smash people to death, where was the slightest recession?

"Wan Lu is the servant of the Ran family, and because Lang Jun forbids mentioning this matter at home, Wan Lu knows very little. Mrs. is the concubine of the second room of the Zheng family, and in recent years, there has been some poor turnover in terms of money, otherwise how could Mrs. be reduced to marrying a foreign surname! Xing Niang sighed.

The five surnames strengthened their position through marriage, and they were ashamed to marry with foreign surnames. If a man with a foreign surname wants to marry the daughter of their family, he must pay a large amount of dowry, and he must also be of outstanding virtue before they will consider it.

Thinking of this, Ran Yan also slightly understood why Ran Wen forbade mentioning this matter at home, if it was at the time of high spirits, he poured all his money, thinking that he could marry a noble girl to improve his family's identity, but in the end he only hired a concubine, I'm afraid everyone would want to vomit blood!

Aye's vision narrowed a little. Ran Yan commented lightly.

Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, sighed: The regret in this life is that he failed to marry a woman with five surnames! At that time, the Xue family was already one of the "four surnames in Guanzhong" with Wei, Pei, Liu, and Xue as members, but they still looked up to the "five surnames and seven families", which shows its status.

Therefore, even if he marries a concubine, it can be regarded as a relative of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and others will definitely look at it differently, but Ran Wen is angry because he did not marry a concubine, and after Mrs. Zheng passed away, she immediately married a woman from another family, which is equivalent to automatically giving up the relationship with the Zheng family.

After spending so much money, he gave up automatically, and Ran Yan felt in his heart that it was not that he had a narrow vision, but that his brain was in water.

"This family business was personally requested by Gong Ran when he was still alive." Xing Niang did not echo Ran Yan's evaluation, but what she said was enough to show that she was not optimistic about Ran Wen.

Wan Lu was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and said, "It turns out that Mrs. is from such a high-ranking family!" If the lady can't live in the Ran family, can she defect to the Zheng family? ”

"That's what I said......" Xing Niang said.

Ran Yan is clear, her mother is from a high-ranking family, even if she is just a concubine, she is unattainable in the eyes of outsiders, but in the clan, a concubine is a concubine, I am afraid that there is no good treatment, let alone the daughter of a concubine.

Moreover, the gate valve family, the rules are even more numerous and strict, even if it is a big tree that is good for the shade, Ran Yan does not plan to rely on it.

Wan Lu was just straightforward, and after a little brain, he understood the reason, so he smiled dryly.

Ran Yan thought about her pot of taro soup in her heart, and walked quickly to the stove.

For this Tang Dynasty father, because he had no feelings, Ran Yan didn't feel the slightest sadness, he just felt that the original Ran Yan was pitiful.

"It's too badly cooked." Ran Yan looked at a pot of taro, turned her head to Xing Niang and said, "You don't have to cook tonight, let's eat taro." ”

"Okay." Xing Niang saw that Ran Yan was in a good mood, so she responded with a smile.

Ran Yan commanded Wanlu to hold the pot and was about to go to the kitchen, but the courtyard door slammed.

"Who?" Evening Green asked.

There was a small girl's voice outside, "The little one is Shao Ming, and Mr. Sang came to visit Seventeen Niang." ”

Sangchen? Ran Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, the last time he sent the inkstone, it can barely be said that it was to repay Ran Yan for saving his life to Wednesday Lang, what is it for this time?
