Chapter Twenty-Three: Ruixue

According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, housework in the Water Mirror Hall has always been a good sight of people, and the afternoon is dispersed, and the breakfast in the middle is also used here in a hurry. Since the three sisters Chen Lan had experienced it for the first time, they dispersed later than usual, and coupled with the previous incident in the Chu family, when they left, Chen Yun didn't want to stay longer, so he left without saying a word. Chen Xi walked all the way with Chen Lan, and when she was about to break up at the intersection, she stopped and took a closer look at Chen Lan's face.

"Today's incident, the third sister handled it with grace and power, and spread it, I'm afraid everyone in the mansion must know that the third sister was hiding in the past." Seeing Chen Lan smiling slightly, as if he didn't take it to heart, Chen Xi frowned slightly, and then said lightly, "I owe you a favor for the matter of moving the yard last time, and I might as well tell you the truth today." In today's Hou Mansion, there are definitely more than one, two, three or four families like the four Chu families. Those who have poor fat on weekdays have a sense of change when they see something, otherwise how could there be four fewer daughters-in-law and mothers in charge today? You look at the fair disposal, but in fact, there will still be people who have resentment. ”

Chen Lan knew that in the past ten years, Chen Xi had never said so much to himself, and the youngest sister in the family had always used cold frost to separate herself from everyone, and this time it would definitely not be a simple exchange. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded and thanked her, and when Chen Xi took someone to the other side, she called a few girls to come over and walk forward.

When Chen Lan saw Hongluo coming, he asked, "You went outside just now to watch, did they say anything?" ”

"How can you say anything, they are all the most inferior messenger mothers-in-law, dirty, tired and offending people, but the two rewards given by the daughter-in-law and mother of the head steward on the picture, since I said that it was the order of the young lady, how dare they disobey, naturally they are beaten lightly." Hongluo's eyes widened when she saw Su Mu and Pepper on the side, so she smiled and said, "Although the Chu Sijia has never expressed a thousand thanks, she is not really stupid, she naturally understands, and she will definitely miss Miss's heart when she goes back." ”

"Where do I want her feelings!"

When Chen Lan heard about the predicament of those old generals from Chen Yan before, he had intended to use these people, but he never intended to be as high-profile as today. It's just that Chen Yun and Chen Xi obviously have their own plans, and they are in a dilemma with her, and they have to leave a cowardly impression in front of the old lady and others, so she can only cut through the mess quickly.

"Miss is so powerful, now they don't dare to underestimate you. When I was having breakfast, a few sisters-in-law and my mother invited Su Mu and me over, and sent snacks and porridge, and said a lot of good things, all of which were inquiring about your temperament. Pepper smiled and showed the two small dimples on her face, and then said proudly, "The two of us didn't just eat and talk, and finally wiped our mouths to thank them for their hospitality. ”

Su Mu and Pepper are only twelve or thirteen years old, younger than Chen Lan's, after yesterday's panic passed, Pepper's expression when he said this at this time naturally brought out a bit of innocence, and even the red snail couldn't help but laugh. Chen Lan lightly touched Pepper's cheek, and the corners of his mouth were picked again: "Everyone believes this when you say it on weekdays, but no one will believe it when you say it today!" Don't care about so much, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, tossing all morning, I'm already dizzy, go back to the Splendid Pavilion to rest! ”

Naturally, although Su Mu was still holding his stomach and muttering in a low voice along the way that he had been poured into his stomach by those people for breakfast, and he was still so full that he couldn't eat anything, he still walked fast. When she returned to the Splendid Pavilion, all the girls who had stayed in the courtyard came out, and Qin Fang didn't talk much, but Yun'er kept chattering, and when Su Mu Pepper sang and told her everything this morning, she was even more itchy to listen to, and while Qin Fang and Hongluo were laying vegetables on the kang table, she quietly slipped to Chen Lan's side.

"Miss, can you take me to see tomorrow?"

"Insight? With your temperament, what scenes have you not seen in the house? Seeing that Yun'er was still begging, Chen Lan thought about it in his heart, and said with a smile, "There is such a thing today, so the Water Mirror Hall is lively, and then it is all plain and insipid to do things, if you go, it will suffocate you." Well, I'll give you leave after dinner, and you can go out of the house through the back door. You are the best at finding out the news, to see what is going on with the Chu family and those families, and there are people who have been dealing with them these days. This matter is extremely important, but it is much more difficult to do than going to the Water Mirror Hall to see. ”

"Okay, I'll make sure I'll inquire carefully!"

Yun'er has always been competitive, and what she is most afraid of is that Hongluo will steal the limelight when she first arrives, so just now Su Mu Pepper said that Hongluo would go out with her, which made the beating of the Chu Sijia lighter, and she immediately became a little angry. Happily agreed, she and the others served Chen Lan to eat, and when the dishes were withdrawn, she left immediately.

However, although Yun'er was asked to inquire about the situation on the other side of the Chu Sijia, what Chen Lan wanted to know most was what happened to his second uncle Chen Jiu after he was imprisoned. However, the gate of this huge Hou Mansion is strictly controlled, and it is easy to inquire about the affairs of the family, but it is not so simple to inquire about the affairs of the DPRK and China. Therefore, when she heard that Zhu had taken a nap in the Tatexiang Courtyard, she dismissed the idea of going right away and sat on the kang to read.

However, since she was on her mind, she couldn't read the remaining books on the shelves that she hadn't read yet. After thinking about it and thinking about it, Chen Lan simply called Hongluo and Qin Fang in one after another, and one of them told one thing, and when they were about to leave after they agreed, she suddenly remembered a stubble, and said: "When you go out, tell them Su Mu and Pepper, and tell them where you went." By the way, let them only guard outside, I don't need anyone here. ”

Although Chen Lan made all the arrangements, and under the pretext of not wanting to disturb, he was reading in the house alone, but after all, he was not sure in his heart, and after sitting for a while, he felt bored, so he simply put on the crane and walked out of the house.

The capital of the first month was cold, but it had been cloudy for several days, and she only stepped out of the door to find that it was snowing, and she couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, standing under the eaves and looking up at the sky. At this time, the three second-class girls have gone to run errands, and a few little girls don't know where to hide to play, and the yard is quiet, lined with snowflakes that will fly all over the sky after a while, so quiet that people can't bear to move. After only a while, she felt her hands cold when she came out of the warm room, and hurriedly rubbed her hands gently.

"Miss, have a cup of tea to warm your hands."

Hearing this voice, Chen Lan couldn't help but turn around, and saw that it was a tall girl, about twelve or thirteen, she was not very pretty, there was even a black mole next to the nose, wearing a green silk jacket, moon white cotton than nails, and a pair of delicate embroidered shoes embroidered with plum blossoms were revealed under the lotus lotus skirt. After looking at it for a while, she vaguely remembered that when she decided to go to Zhu's place in the courtyard when she was well before, she had some impression of this girl, so she took the tea.

"Why did you bring the tea?"

"Sister Qinfang, they went to run errands, Sister Su Mu and Sister Pepper were called by someone from the Tatexiang Academy, and the others didn't know where to go, I saw Miss standing here looking at the snow, it must be very cold, so I took it upon myself to pour tea."

Chen Lan looked at her, and unconsciously remembered that Xiaohonglai who also poured tea and poured out the opportunity in the dream of Red Mansions, and then thought that Baoyu had no chance, but Sister Feng chose a bargain, and suddenly smiled slightly. As for Su Mu and Pepper being called to the Tatexiang Temple, but no one said anything to her, this was expected, and she didn't show any clues on her face. asked the name, and learned that this girl was originally called Hongxuan, because the name of Hongluo was a little heavy, and she had just heard Qin Fang's words and changed it to Luo Xuan, so she shook her head.

"How can there be so many taboos, and there are few people in the family who have the same name? Besides, from red silk to Luo silk, it is all silk and satin, and others have to say vulgarity when they hear it. In my opinion, today happens to be a snowy day when I meet you, why don't you change your name to Ruixue? ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly thanked her, and after reading it a few times, she felt that it was catchy, and her face was even more joyful. However, seeing that Chen Lan had been standing outside for so long, she persuaded again: "Miss, although the snow scene is beautiful, it is really cold on the ground. Although you have healed from your injuries before, you still have to take care of your body, so don't stand in the wind for too long. ”

It was a whim when he came out just now, and he didn't even take a hand stove, Chen Lan was indeed so cold that his hands and feet were stiff at this time, so he nodded and turned back to the house, and called Rui Xue in. Although there are many girls in the Splendid Pavilion, she has secretly observed these days, and she has already separated her relatives. Qinfang Hongluo is naturally reliable, although Yun'er's mouth is more powerful, her heart is good, and she is also credible, and she is waiting for Su Mu and Pepper who she personally named before. The rest are either playful, or useless, or the second and third rooms are stuffed in, and they don't take her to heart at all, otherwise Su Mu Pepper would have been called away, and there would not have been a Rui Xue to report now.

Therefore, after saying a few words to Ruixue, seeing that people are clever and quick to speak, Chen Lan moved his mind to leave people, went back to the house and sat for a while, and when Ruixue sent a hand stove again, she smiled and said: "Since the others are not there, you go back and pack up, and accompany me to see the old lady in the Tatexiang Courtyard." ”

Ruixue only sprinkles and tends to flowers and plants in the yard on weekdays, and never takes the turn to carry tea and water and follow the errands out of the house, so she can't help but be overjoyed at this time, and hurriedly bent her knees to agree, and hurriedly went back to the house to change. When she followed Chen Lan out of the courtyard gate, she pressed the corner of her mouth again.

Now she's just a little girl, don't get carried away and don't go up in the end, but it makes people laugh!
