Evening Green Road, "It is said that the lady has worshiped the ancestral hall, and Xiao Song, who should know the Xiao family, frowned, "Isn't it the mother who introduced it?" ”

Wan Lu also had this suspicion, so she had already asked the 'waiter' maid just now, "The old lady went with the Duke of the Kingdom to thank the guests." ”

During the period of filial piety, it is necessary to cut off the 'communication' relationship, or half-cut off the 'communication' relationship, so at this time, there will be many people who rush to hear the funeral news, one is to hang the deceased, and the other is to make a short farewell.

"Wanlu, please go to the inner 'door' to wait, and I'll change my clothes." Ran Yan turned around and went to the house, but was grabbed by Xiao Song, "Don't go." ”

Ran Yan looked at his deeply locked brows and couldn't help but want to laugh, "Xiao Yuezhi, I found that you are getting more and more childish. ”

In fact, most men have a childish side, but Xiao Song is usually too serious, and his childishness is very contrasting.

"Not allowed to go anyway." In his family, Xiao Song didn't dare to let Ran Yan out of his sight.

"Don't screw it, I'm not a delicate and weak 'girl', I have the ability to protect myself." Ran Yan held his hand and comforted.

This family can't be denied, if he offends all the relatives of his family, how will Xiao Song face the brothers in the clan in the future? In the future, there will be a lot of 'communication' things, and even my family can't deal with it, how will I deal with outsiders in the future? Although she didn't like it, since she chose to be his wife, she had to bear what she deserved.

Xiao Song pursed his lips tightly, but he didn't let go of his hand at all, obviously because of his stubbornness.

After a stalemate for a long time, Ran Yancai said softly, "Believe me, husband." ”

Xiao Song twisted his head to the side, looked at the begonias blooming in the yard, and gradually let go of his hand after a long time.

Ran Yan walked into the house quickly and found a clean plain clothes to change into. Wanlu fetched water to clean her face a little, straightened her sideburns, and went out of the 'door' together.

"Lady Langjun is still awkward!" Evening green to the inner 'door' road and uneasy road.

Ran Yan smiled faintly, "His heart is clearer than anyone else, so he doesn't need to worry." ”

"The slave maid 'Spring' came and saw the Ninth Lady." The 'waiter' who was waiting for the inner 'door' saw Ran Yan come out, and hurriedly squatted down to salute.

Ran Yan glanced at her, she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who was born very stocky, revealing a sense of honesty, and her appearance was the kind of person who couldn't be found when she was thrown into the crowd, but when she smiled, she 'exposed' a row of white and neat teeth, and her eyes were curved like a crescent moon.

"No need to be polite." Ran Yan has an inexplicable sense of closeness to simple people, and the whole person is a little softer.

'Chun' came to wear a thick white skirt tied with a bun, except for a hairband tied with hair, there were no decorative items, and the old shoes on his feet were obviously not a high-level 'waiter'.

"Which yard are you from?" Ran Yan was a little suspicious that Mrs. Dongyang sent a low-level 'waiter' maid to call her, either she looked down on her very much, or she was deceitful, or Mrs. Dongyang was too frugal.

'Chun' lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully, "Back to Mrs. Jiu, the slave maid is the personal 'servant' of the eldest lady." ”

Some of the titles of the Tang Dynasty are really inconvenient, for example, Song Guogong is ranked as Qihu Qilang in the clan, and Xiao Song is the ninth in the next generation, and those who don't know think they are brothers.

In the same way, there are several eldest ladies of different generations in the Xiao family, and Ran Yan has always thought that Mrs. Dongyang is the kind of person who has a strong desire for power and is very hidden, but now it seems that she seems to be a little deeper.

Thinking about Mrs. Dongyang all the way, I soon arrived at the hall of the clan, where many 'women' had gathered, mostly in plain clothes, and many 'women' in gray, black, and brown dresses.

"Ladies, ladies, the ninth lady is here." 'Spring' looks very honest and honest, and he is also very stable and generous, without the slightest twist.

"Come in." Mrs. Dongyang on the main seat had a dull voice.

Ran Yan stepped over the threshold of the 'door', and ushered in a lot of eyes, at first he was a little unaccustomed to being noticed like this, but now he is very calm.

Ran Yan didn't know any of the people next to her, so she walked straight to Mrs. Dongyang and Mrs. Dongyang not far away, squatting slightly, "I've seen the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt." ”

Mrs. Dongyang was dressed in a plain white 'handover' collar skirt, sitting on the main seat dignifiedly, with eyebrows like distant mountains and autumn water in her eyes, as if she was incompatible with such a scene, "No need to be polite." As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly, falling on a sixty-year-old lady in plain clothes on the left hand side, "Brother and sister, please lead your nephew and daughter-in-law to get to know each other." ”

A thirty or forty-year-old 'woman' calling a sixty-year-old "brother and sister" is even more unacceptable than a group of young 'women' calling her "aunt".

Mrs. Suyi is also kind-faced, at least much kinder than the Dugu family, she has a decent smile on her face, "I met in Chang'an in a hurry, do you remember me?" ”

This is really a very embarrassing question, if Ran Yan really recognized or remembered, he would have greeted her a long time ago, so why wait for someone to ask? In Chang'an's busy mess', Ran Yan has seen a lot of people in a hurry, but he has no impression of this lady, on the way to Lanling, it is almost a rush of stars and moons, everyone has not almost got off the carriage at all, and there is no free time, Ran Yan "Chang'an saw you in a hurry, but I didn't dare to recognize you just now, for fear of shouting the wrong person to make a joke, the sixth aunt should not blame." Ran Yan bowed slightly.

It's not that Ran Yan really knows her, in addition to the eldest room and the patriarch's wife have a very high status in the clan, the six houses are the most prosperous, and the children and grandchildren of the six ladies are all officials in the court, so they are also quite strong in the clan, and the position where she sits, and Xiao Song and her on weekdays The 'sex' of the ladies in each room is just guessed comprehensively.

The sixth lady is a person who looks kind and angry, very low-key, but is actually very arrogant in her heart.

Seeing that Ran Yan really recognized her, the sixth lady smiled a little more kindly, "What a good boy who annoys people, sit down first." ”

Song Guogong's brothers only won five or six, and in the previous generation, except for the Dugu clan, there were only three left. The next step is to meet your brothers and sisters-in-law.

The scene looked happy, but Ran Yan's face had been stiff, but many people didn't 'want' to look for her to continue talking after saying hello.

"Mrs. Nine, please use tea." A 'waiter' maid put a cup of tea in front of Ran Yan.

As soon as Ran Yan picked it up, someone asked, "I heard that the ninth sister-in-law has a 'famous doctor's name" in Suzhou, but I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Ran Yan's movements paused, and he put down the cup, "It's just that he has become a doctor after a long illness, and he can't be a famous doctor." ”
