After Wanlu came back, she was excited and talked to Xing Niang about it.

After hearing this, Xing Niang couldn't help frowning, and reproached Ran Yan softly, "It's not appropriate for the lady to do this." ”

Ran Yan, who was just about to eat, put down the chopsticks and chopsticks, ready to listen to them, but at the end, she only waited for Xing Niang to sigh. It's infuriating.

"What's wrong?" Ran Yan couldn't help but ask.

Xing Niang raised her hand full of pity, and was about to stroke Ran Yan's hair, but suddenly paused, she found that today's lady is no longer like the cute appearance of a kitten, although I heard Wan Lu say that the lady loves to laugh more than before, but I always feel a little alienated.

Xing Niang lowered her hand, thinking that the lady always has to grow up, and for a while she was both sad and gratified, "It's not that it's inappropriate to save people, it's just that the lady leaves the grateful villagers like this, and she doesn't say much, and she loses her etiquette, I'm afraid it will hinder the reputation of the lady." ”

"Saving people is a good deed, is it difficult for them not to be grateful, and they still have to arrange the lady?" Wan Lu couldn't help but feel unhappy, and said indignantly, "What's more, the lady is still polite or two." ”

Xing Niang stretched out her hand and nodded at Wanlu's head, and said with a straight face, "You girl is a big temper, the lady is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and in such a situation, it is always right to fight for a good reputation." Have you ever seen the doctor from the city? ”

After saying that, he turned to Ran Yan and said, "The lady was married half a year ago, and she will be sixteen after winter, if she is still in the main house now, she has already begun to say goodbye, but this situation is ...... Alas! Lady, now you are nested in this poor country, and you don't seek any fame, just health, and then fight for a reputation of knowledge, gentleness and virtuousness, and it is good to talk about family affairs......"

Xing Niang said that tears began to appear in her eyes again, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to dry it, and then arrived, "The lady's body is getting better and better day by day, and the old slave finally put down a stone in his heart, and now the old slave is afraid that the stepfamily will make a fuss about the marriage of the mother, especially the eighteenth mother who offended the eighteenth mother a few days ago......"

"I know I'm wrong." Ran Yan knew that Xing Niang's worries were not unreasonable, if she didn't make a good name now, I was afraid that even if she was a concubine, she would not be able to marry a good family. Marriage is a major event, don't slack off, since Ran Yan decided to live well in Datang, she has always remembered in her heart that this is ancient times, many things can't be done by your own will, only by being able to endure it, can you get the future you want.

Xing Niang held Ran Yan's hand, patted it lightly, and said with relief, "Seeing the lady cheer up, the old slave is happy, Madame has done good deeds in her life, and she will definitely be able to shade the lady." ”

Because it was the time to eat, Xing Niang didn't say anything, and only let Wanlu wait for Ran Yan to eat, and she went to cook the bath soup.

After dinner, according to the habit of Ran Yan in the past, he waited for her to bathe and change clothes, and then took a book to her.

Ran Yan watched a song of Ban Jieyu's "Song of Resentment", and she was already drowsy.

Xing Niang took a basin of well water and put it in the house to cool down, and when she saw that Ran Yan was asleep, she beckoned Wanlu to go out and talk.

Wan Lu put down the fan, lightly covered Ran Yan with the futon, and walked out with Xing Niang.

The two walked along the verandah, until they stopped under a cluster of banana trees in a corner of the second gate, Xing Niang looked around, and saw that there was no one, so she took Wanlu's hand and said, "You went to the city a few days ago, did you inquire about the main house?" ”

"None, what's the matter?" Evening Green asked inexplicably.

Xing Niang sighed, "You! It's a clever one, but the heart is bigger than the fight, not to mention the sesame seeds, even if the cake is big, you can't hold one! Thanks to me, I listened to a few of the little guys talking about this in private today. ”

Wan Lu does not deny it, she is this character, carelessness is not a matter of one or two days, although Xing Niang is weaker, but she is indeed a smart person, Wan Lu can listen to the lesson, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I don't understand which one of the eighteen niangs is making trouble, and I always feel uneasy in my heart, and today I am listening to the little guy say, the steproom said to the eighteen niang, and it was Langya Wang's family, but the head of the Wang family learned that the eighteen niang was not a serious heir, so he pushed it, how could the eighteen niang not resent in his heart!" Xing Niang said.

Langya Wang's family, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, can be described as a flourishing time, the era of the king and the horse together is what a scenery, to the Tang Dynasty although not as good as before, but the foundation of the long inheritance is there, besides, the men in this clan are all jade trees in the wind, handsome and chic, to climb this family, it is really not easy!

But this kind of gate valve clan cares most about their origin, and the Ran family is not as good as the Wang family, so people will naturally not let go if they are a little bit out of line.

Wan Lu gloated and said, "What about the eldest daughter of Eighteen Niang, her virtue, as long as the Wang family inquires a little in Suzhou City, people will not agree!" ”

Xing Niang raised her hand and knocked on her skull, and reprimanded in a low voice, "I am telling you this to remind you to have bright eyes in the future, be more careful in your thoughts, and mention more ladies from the side!" For example, today, you always say how the lady is, what you do! ”

Looking at the description of the late green and thin, Xing Niang was also distressed in her eyes, and said in a soft voice, "In the past, the lady was seriously ill, and the two of us served, and I couldn't spare time to inquire about anything, but now the lady is healed, and at this age, I have to plan more." You are not young, you always have to get married, if the lady marries well, you can marry well! ”

Wan Lu was grateful, hugged Xing Niang's arm and shook it, "Xing Niang, I know it's wrong, next time I will definitely pinch my heart and eyes thinner than an embroidery needle!" ”

Xing Niang laughed at her for not doing a good job, and the two said a few more words, and then went back to serve.

The Zhuangzi of Ran Mansion is still as calm as usual, and Zhoujia Village is very lively, because of the resurrection of Wednesday Lang, every family seems to celebrate the New Year.

Liu took Zhou Lang here a few years ago, because her husband's family is also surnamed Zhou, the patriarch took pity on their orphans and widows, so he discussed with the elders to take them in, and there is no relationship with the people in the village, but the old people attach importance to the clan, and there is a chance that the same surname can be pulled from the genealogy, so the Liu family also stayed with the help of the villagers.

And the villagers are happy not only because Liu's son is not dead, but the fact of "coming back to life" is too magical, and it is not easy to see it once in his lifetime.

At the same time, Ran Seventeen Niang, who has been unknown, for a day, everyone in the whole village knows about her, and everyone says that she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

Ran Yan slept for half an hour, then got up and washed.

This is the first time she has taken a serious look at her current appearance, in the polished smooth copper mirror, a pale and lifeless face is clearly reflected, the nose is straight, especially the tip of the nose, slightly curled out of an elegant arc, the curve of the cherry lips is soft, and the skin is as white as fat. Long and bright eyes, trimming eyebrows, slightly upturned tail, as long as the bright eyes flow slightly, it is an incomparable charm, but unfortunately, Ran Yan is serious and dull, and will not use such excellent eyes to speak.

Xing Niang secretly glanced at Ran Yan, thinking to herself, the lady will still take pity on herself, it can be seen that she is still the same lady before, but now she is just sensible.

"Lady, the old slave will comb your hair." Xing Niang picked up the comb from the low table, knelt beside Ran Yan, and gently combed her long hair.

There were no seats in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone was sitting, that is, kneeling. Ran Yan was a little uncomfortable psychologically, but physically seemed to be very accustomed to sitting like this.

The afternoon sunlight is projected through the cracks in the fine bamboo curtains, leaving thin strips of light on the wooden floor, through which you can faintly see the peony flowers that have just bloomed outside.

"Huh?" Ran Yan stared at the flowers outside for a long time, "When did the peony bloom?" ”

Wanlu was coming over with her clothes, and when she heard Ran Yan's words, she replied with a smile, "It's blooming today, it's still a bud in the morning, and it's blooming so big in one day." ”

Wanlu knelt down in front of Ran Yan and sat down, "There is half an acre of land in the village planted with precious peony flowers, and the peonies in our Ran Mansion are the most famous in Suzhou City. ”

There are very few books in Zhuangzi, only a few collections of complaining poems, and Ran Yan is not willing to read them, enjoying the flowers and scenery...... Ran Yan was a little moved.

Xing Niang didn't want Ran Yan to be sad like before, and encouraged, "It's a good thing to enjoy the flowers and scenery, if you like it, go and see it." ”

Ran Yan nodded, Wan Lu tore open the clothes he had taken, and said, "Lady, you haven't made new clothes for half a year, why don't you go to the city another day to measure some cloth, and the slave maid will make you a new one?" ”

Wan Lu said while helping Ran Yan change into clothes, this is a light green embroidered silk breast-length skirt, at this time the skirt is not as bloated as the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it looks very slender, if the lotus step moves lightly, it is really graceful.

After putting on the clothes, Wan Lu put a thin and almost transparent painted flower sara shawl between Ran Yan's arms, when standing, it naturally droops, quiet and elegant, and when it moves, it is like the wind supporting the willows, fluttering elegantly.

"The lady is beautiful, and she looks good in anything!" Evening Green exclaimed.

Xing Niang handed over Mi Li and instructed, "Go early and return early, and let Doctor Wu diagnose the lady's pulse today, and the first recovery from a serious illness should not be too tired!" ”

Wanlu had already run to the door to prepare shoes, and said, "I'll look at the lady!" ”

"The lady has always been demure, I think you have to be watched!" Xing Niang scolded with a smile.

Ran Yan watched the intimate and natural interaction between the two of them, and her mood was also very relaxed and happy, so she comforted herself and regarded this idle period of time as a vacation!
