Chapter 41: Grandfather's Thoughts

Old Madam Ruan got up and took a closer look under the support of Mama Yun, and after looking at it for a long time, she exclaimed: "This grid by grid, Mianmian, where did you see that it is our house?" ”

"The slave and maid can't find the north when they look at this picture, and the dense little lattice is like a mess." Mama Yun said.

"Mianmian, look at what's so special about this picture." Nguyen Geng intended to test.

Ruan Mianmian simply climbed into the chair and knelt down to look at it, she pointed to the side with her small hand: "Hey, there is more of this, is my grandfather going to expand the Hou Mansion?" “

"It's not an expansion." Ruan Geng was very satisfied with Ruan Mianmian's performance, "I plan to let your eldest uncle move out and move next door." ”

Ruan Mianmian was silent, this kind of thing was not something that her little group should be involved in.

Old Madam Ruan said casually: "In the blink of an eye, Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao are eighteen and sixteen, and they have reached the age when they should say goodbye." ”

"Say kiss? The eldest brother and the second brother are not yet twenty. Ruan Mianmian was very surprised.

"It's time." Mama Yun touched Ruan Mianmian's cheek affectionately, "In another ten years, it will be Miss's turn to say kiss." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Old Madam Ruan was very happy when she heard this, "When the time comes, grandmother will definitely choose a fast son-in-law for you." ”

Ruan Geng waved his hand unhappily: "Okay, old woman, how old is Mianmian?" ”

It is hard for Ruan Mianmian to imagine that getting married in her teens is not like a child playing at home.

"Even if ten years later, Mianmian is only thirteen, I want to keep her for a few more years." Ruan Geng really thinks so.

"I don't want to get married, I want to accompany my grandfather and grandmother." Ruan Mianmian jumped off the chair and snuggled into the arms of Mrs. Ruan.

Old Madam Ruan looked at the little milk dumpling rubbing coquettish in her arms and laughed: "You say so now, but you don't think so when you get older." ”

"It's far away, let's get down to business." Ruan Geng pulled back the topic, "If Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao marry, there will not be enough in the mansion." Next door was originally the mansion of the old minister of the court, and he returned to his hometown a few days ago, and his grandfather bought it. ”

Old Madam Ruan smiled and asked, "Mianmian, is your grandfather's idea good?" ”

"Little dolls don't understand adults." Ruan Mianmian shook her head.

"You're less pretended." Ruan Geng motioned for Ah Dong to put away the floor plan, "Your grandmother told me everything about yesterday." ”

"Yesterday? What's up? Ruan Mianmian asked suspiciously.

Ruan Geng stroked his beard and looked at Ruan Mianmian: "I'm wondering if we have a banquet in Ding'an Hou Mansion?" Restore your identity as Miss Ding'an Houfu. ”

"Need to recover?" As Ruan Mianmian spoke, she saw her grandfather and grandmother showing guilt.

Ruan Mianmian grabbed the hands of the two elders with both hands: "Grandfather, grandmother, I don't mean to blame you. I just think it's too deliberate to hold a banquet for this. It's my grandmother's birthday in a few days, so I'll take this opportunity to talk about it by the way. ”

"Mianmian is right." Old Madam Ruan couldn't help frowning when she remembered yesterday, "The eldest daughter-in-law is really brainless, does our Hou Mansion need to use the banquet of King Jing's Mansion to let people know Mianmian?" ”

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said casually: "Grandmother, if the eldest aunt has no brains, how can she be in charge of the Hou Mansion for nearly ten years?" ”

Old Madam Ruan suddenly felt a shock in her heart, she didn't think much about it yesterday, and suddenly the little milk dumpling woke up the person in her dream.

The eldest daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and normally it is impossible to even think of such a simple thing, if not, it is deliberate.

Old Madam Ruan thought about it carefully, was Chen Wanyu not willing to gamble with the reputation of Ding'an Hou Mansion to ruin Ruan Mianmian?

"Old man, you let the craftsman slip a little faster, choose a good day next month, and let the big house move over with Qin Ruolan as soon as possible." Old Madam Ruan, who was still a little hesitant, made a decision in an instant.

In the past, the Ruan family owed Ruan Mianmian enough, and now they finally have such a precious granddaughter, whether Chen Wanyu is unintentional or intentional, Mrs. Ruan is secretly determined to prevent everything that may hurt her.

Ruan Mianmian asked casually, "What about the eldest brother and the second brother?" ”

"They stay in the milling fast, so that they don't be instigated by their mother-in-law." One of the reasons for Ruan Geng's move is also for the sake of his two grandsons.

"Okay, if my grandfather and grandmother don't have any orders, I'll go to the study."

Old Madam Ruan wanted to stop Ruan Mianmian but was stopped by Ruan Geng: "Go ahead, grandfather will check your homework later." ”

"Okay!" Ruan Mianmian jumped and ran towards the study.

"Old man, Mianmian is a female doll, and she doesn't go to the top exam, why do you still detain her to study."

"Mama Yun, Adong, go down."

Seeing that the old man had something to say to himself, Mrs. Ruan sat beside Ruan Geng

"Who said that female dolls can't take the top prize? Besides, even if we don't take the top prize, we are no worse than men. Ruan Geng lowered his voice and said seriously.

Old Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Geng in dismay, this dynasty is meritocracy, regardless of men and women, regardless of civil ministers and military generals, there have been examples of women not letting women have eyebrows, but that is also a handful.

"Old woman, do you remember my grandmother?" Ruan Geng reminisced about those days.

Speaking of this ancestor of the Ruan family, he can be described as a household name. When the palace changed, she protected the first emperor and turned the tide, it can be said that without her, there would be no Li dynasty today.

When rewarding meritorious deeds, she repeatedly shirked without taking credit, and finally the first emperor named her "Marquis of Ding'an", and the throne was hereditary, and Ruan Geng happened to be the third generation.

The word "Ding'an" has a profound meaning, and the first emperor once said that with the Ruan family, the Jiangshan Society will be stable.

Whether it is the first emperor or the current saint, the Ruan family has been politely rejected several times to promote the Ruan family, and the descendants of the Ruan family have to rely on their own strength to fight for the future. Ruan Geng also had several chances to be crowned king, but he resigned all of them.

Therefore, regardless of the princes and generals or the civil and military generals, they all respect the Ruan family in their hearts, especially the old marquis Ruan Geng, and even the emperor fully trusts him.

"Naturally, I remember." Decades have passed, and Mrs. Ruan can still clearly remember the scene of seeing her ancestors for the first time as a bride.

"Mianmian is the wisest of the Ruan family's descendants, and the child who is most like her grandmother and her old man."

Ruan Geng's words shocked Mrs. Ruan, she knew that Ruan Mianmian was extremely intelligent, but she didn't expect it to be so highly praised in the heart of the old marquis.

"How long do you say that the aura of the ancestor can shelter the Ruan family? I was exhausted, and the Ruan family was not folded in my hands after all. I'm old, and after Ruan Qi disappeared, I felt like I had lost hope and felt that there was no successor.

"Old man, don't think about it anymore." Old Madam Ruan said with relief, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." ”

"Well, Li'er, I also understand, but I have to plan for the Ding'an Hou Mansion on my shoulders."

Old Madam Ruan suggested: "I think Ruan Xiao can take on this heavy responsibility. ”

"Ruan Xiao is good, so I sent him to the prince. I rely on military exploits, but if it is peaceful today, what he relies on is the affection with the future prince since childhood. ”
