"The older Fan Bo gets, the more poisonous his mouth becomes," Rong Qian snorted.

Ran Yan watched their casual interaction, and also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it is foreseeable that life in Chang'an will not be boring in the future.

Compared with those houses that often cover an area of dozens of acres or hundreds of acres, Ran Pingyu's residence is not large, and the sum of the front and back is only eleven or twelve acres of land, and the size is considered to be the top house in the entire Anshan Fang, but the interior is very exquisite, it looks low-key, but it shows wealth everywhere.

Even Bai Juyi once said that it is not easy to live in Chang'an. It can be seen that the price of goods here must be scary, and in a place like Chang'an, especially in the east of the city, it is not possible to buy a mansion with money, and Ran Pingyu can buy this mansion as a businessman, which has cost a lot of money.

I don't know if Ran Yunsheng intends to take care of it, or if Fan Bo has a good impression of Ran Yan, Ran Yan's residence was settled in Heyaju. Because the Ran Mansion is not big, the whole courtyard is a garden-like structure, borrowing scenery to shelter, and the Accord is not only exquisitely built, but also surrounded by evergreen trees, quiet and elegant.

"Lady, Fan Bo is so good to you, the slave maid just passed by, and the place where the eighteenth mother lives seems to be not as elegant as ours." Wan Lu learned from the mouths of the people in Ran's Mansion that the place where they lived was run by Fan Bo.

Ran Yan wore slightly loose clothes, lazily leaned on the round-waisted bed in front of the window to look at the delicacy outside, and when she heard Wan Lu's words, she turned her head and said, "We live in ours, what do we compare with others?" ”

Xing Niang just laid out the couch, straightened up, and said, "That's it, you girl also accepts her grievances, and now Eighteen Niang doesn't mess with you, so I can't lose my temper for her." ”

Wanlu is not a cautious person, usually loud and wide-hearted, but once he thinks of the hardships that his wife has endured since childhood, and Ran Meiyu bullied them to Zhuangzi, he is angry, and he is aggrieved at the moment, "The slave maid is not compared with others, the slave maid just can't see the eighteen mothers well."

Ran Yan felt the resentment in her tone, turned her head, looked at her misty phoenix eyes, and sighed in her heart, after all, she hadn't suffered much from Eighteen Niang, so naturally she had no way to empathize, so she stopped blindly blaming, and instead enlightened her, "Evening Green, people have to look forward, don't always stare at the past." As for the eighteen mothers, if she is more settled, she will return to the bridge and return to the road, if she provokes the door again, you don't need to say that I will clean her up. Besides, if you want to deal with her, you can't get any real benefit just by comparing these superficial things. ”

Ran Yan felt that part of the tragedy of the original owner was also caused by her own too weakness, if she was tough, there would be a dazzling golden sign of the Zheng family behind her, and a smart person like Ge Lan would give her advice, as a serious Ran daughter, she had both confidence and wisdom, so she would not fall into such a miserable situation.

"Alas, it's still a lady who can see it through." Xing Niang sighed. She said that she taught Wanlu, and it was entirely because she was from a family of gate valves, and she regarded her temperament and face as more important than ordinary people, how could she not hate the Gao family in her heart? Don't hate Ran Eighteen Niang?

Is it transparent? Ran Yan laughed at herself in her heart, if she was really transparent, she wouldn't have been circulating that nightmare forever. Some things, from the perspective of a bystander, can be said to be the way and thought-provoking, but once you have a knot in your heart, even if you understand that this is wrong, you still can't extricate yourself.

What does it take to break through this darkness? Since God has given her a new life, why not clear everything to zero......

Ran Yanwu fell into deep thought, and a maid outside the door came to pass the word, saying that she had prepared a reception banquet, and would come over to invite her to the banquet hall in the evening.

This is advance notice to give her time to pack up and prepare.

Xing Niang happened to be sorting out her clothes, and after hearing the news from Wanlu, she looked into the box and frowned, "Lady, I'm afraid most of these clothes can't be worn anymore." ”

"How?" Ran Yan wondered.

Xing Niang looked at the skirts that were mostly purple, and said, "Although the law does not stipulate the color of women's regular clothes, but when you marry your husband, you will be ordered to wear blue Zhai clothes for your husband and above, and the colors of the rest of the clothes will come with the husband's official position, and ordinary people will not choose these colors in order to avoid clashes with them." ”

Moreover, even if you wear purple, you can only wear it at home or on ordinary occasions, if it is a grand occasion, choosing purple clothes and not having a commensurate identity, will definitely be mistaken for arrogance and arrogance, and you have the heart to climb high branches.

In Suzhou, the emperor is far away, and he can wear whatever he wants, but in Chang'an, a place like Chang'an where a slap can shoot a few kings and nobles, you must follow the rules. In other words, if the husband's official position is above the third grade, if he has a decree, he can decide the color of his clothes at will except for red yellow.

"Then put it away." Ran Yan responded, but thought of a question, "Isn't the squire a fourth grade?" Why can Xiao Song take purple? ”

Xing Niang knew these things in great detail, and thought of staying in Chang'an for a while, so she explained in detail, "Xiao Shilang's official position is a four-grade squire, but in addition to his own position, the imperial court officials will also add the seal of loose officials and military officials. Moreover, Song Guogong is a first-class title, even if he has no official position, he often wears purple. ”

The official position of one's own position, that is, the specific work of the official in the DPRK, is like a company, and there must be a hierarchy, while the loose official represents the specific status level and the treatment he enjoys, and there is no actual work. It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that the rank and treatment of officials were based on the actual grade of the officials awarded, and the scattered officials completely lost their meaning, and only the name remained.

"Generally, the official position of a loose official is half a or one order higher than that of a full-time official. There are many of them, all of which are specially sealed by the emperor. Xing Niang said.

"Then it seems that Xiao Song is quite sacred." Ran Yan commented. I thought to myself, I usually accompany the emperor to play chess and think that there is no trace of Fa'er's loss, it seems that it really has some effect.

Xing Niang smiled, "It's not, Xiao Shilang is resolute and capable......" As she spoke, Xing Niang suddenly changed her words again, "But most of it is because of Song Guogong, during the Zhenguan year, Song Guogong had a dispute with his colleagues in the court, and he scuffled on the spot, and was dismissed for the fourth time, sent back home to think about it, and expelled from the capital." However, His Majesty still loved Song Guogong, and in the second year, he added Xiao Shilang's official position as a loose official. ”

Ran Yan smiled, she didn't understand what Xing Niang meant, Xiao Songke's wife, Xing Niang was afraid that she would have a good impression of him. Of course, part of the sealing is due to Song Guogong, but Xiao Song still has two brothers above him, if he is not very good, he will not be able to add the seal.

Ran Yan rubbed his temples with a headache, it was really a big place, and the rules were also big. This matter is too complicated, not only has there are many official positions and rules, but its internal situation is also complicated, forcing people to gossip, but she can't know that she will have to mix in Chang'an in the future, if she offends people because of this, wouldn't she be wronged.

Yes By].
