Besides, in order not to run into his father, the little milk dumpling turned to another path, and unconsciously looked up and saw that Lingyun Courtyard was in front of him.

"It's not good to come here, and it doesn't seem good to get through." After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, Jiu'er took the lead in stepping forward.

Jiu'er stepped into the courtyard, and someone from the second room greeted him, and when he saw Ruan Mianmian's figure appear, someone immediately rushed in to report it.

The subordinates of Lingyun Courtyard performed their duties, and when they looked through the door, they could see the flowers and plants, the ones who sprinkled water to sweep the paths, the ones who wiped the corridors, and even the doors and windows not far away.

After Ruan Mianmian entered the door, a small guard rushed in to report, and another little man bowed in front of her to lead the way, and out of the corner of her eye, she could catch a glimpse of someone immediately taking the position of the gatekeeper.

"I didn't expect the second aunt to be very arrogant, but the people below are very well trained." Ruan Mianmian praised.

Jiu'er whispered: "Maybe it's because the second master has a strict temperament. ”

Ruan Mianmian nodded, what Jiu'er said was reasonable, the second aunt was very arrogant and straightforward, she couldn't manage the yard so carefully, and it was estimated that it was the second uncle's handwriting.

"Mianmian." The people in the distance shouted in joy as they strode over.

"Hey, third brother."

Unexpectedly, Ruan Chen was also in Lingyun Courtyard, and Ruan Mianmian trotted directly into his arms.

"Didn't the third brother just return to the academy yesterday? Mu Mu again so soon? Why didn't you hear you were coming back? Ruan Mianmian was hugged by Ruan Chen, and her mouth was still talking to herself.

Holding the little milk dumpling in his arms, Ruan Chen smiled contentedly: "The gentleman of the academy asked me to send a letter to Mrs. Ji, I didn't want to go back to the house, but I was worried about you going home for a special trip." ”

"Why don't you look for me if you're worried about me?" Ruan Mianmian pouted, "The third brother is fooling me." ”

Ruan Chen hugged Ruan Mianmian with one hand and turned around and walked towards the house, and the fingers of the other hand tapped the lips of the little milk dumpling: "It's like a little pig." The third brother didn't just come back, thinking about it a little early, for fear of disturbing the third uncle and aunt, thinking that he would look for you later. ”

"Okay." Ruan Mianmian nodded and accepted Ruan Chen's explanation.

"Really, you don't have a hand stove when you come out on such a cold day." Ruan Chen glanced back at Jiu'er slightly as he spoke.

Ruan Mianmian hurriedly said: "Don't blame Jiu'er, I feel troublesome when I hold the hand stove." ”

"Hmm." Ruan Chen wrapped Ruan Mianmian's two small hands with one hand, "The hands are cold." ”

Ruan Chen carried Ruan Mianmian up the steps of the Lingyun Courtyard Hall, and heard the maid inside report that "Second lady, the county lord is here." ”

"Hello second aunt, Mianmian has asked you to say goodbye." After entering, Ruan Chen hadn't put Ruan Mianmian down, so she greeted with a smile.

"The little mouth is as sweet as honey. On a cold day, come and drink tea to warm up. Gu Qingrou greeted Ruan Mianmian warmly, "Come on, don't hurry up and bring some snacks to the county lord, this little milk dumpling loves to eat." ”

"Second aunt doesn't have to be busy." Ruan Mianmian finally landed on her feet, she patted her stomach, "It's full, I can't eat." ”

While speaking, Ruan Mianmian took Ruan Chen's hand and didn't let go, he led her to the chair where Gu Qingrou bowed down and sat down, and took advantage of the situation to hold the little milk dumpling on his lap.

Soon, someone came in with tea, and Ruan Chen took it in his hand and personally fed Ruan Mianmian a few sips.

The hot tea warmed her belly a lot, Ruan Mianmian smiled, looking at the festive smile of the little milk dumplings carved in pink, and everyone present couldn't help but smile.

Gu Qingrou liked it more and more: "Ouch, I really envy Yun Ning, there is such a precious girl." ”

"Doesn't the second aunt also have a third brother and a fourth brother?" Ruan Mianmian turned her head and put her little hand directly on Ruan Chen's face, "The third brother is beautiful." ”

Looking at Ruan Chen, who had always been quiet and unremarkable, he was instantly embarrassed, and Gu Qingrou couldn't help laughing.

Ruan Chen couldn't help but laugh and said to Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, a man can't be described as beautiful." ”

"Then I say this, my third brother is really beautiful." The little milk dumpling looks innocent, but there is a mischievous banter in her eyes.

"It can't be described like that." Ruan Chen was out of trouble when he met Ruan Mianmian.

Ruan Mianmian lowered her face and sighed: "Forget it, it's good-looking." ”

"Okay." It's better to look good than to be beautiful and beautiful, Ruan Chen reluctantly accepted.

The maids and grandmothers who were waiting around covered their mouths and snickered, Gu Qingrou leaned forward and backwards with a smile, and it was also a pleasure to see the decent Ruan Chen suffer.

Finally stopped laughing, Gu Qingrou asked casually, "Mianmian, where did this fight come from?" ”

"Orchid Garden." Ruan Mianmian was straightforward.

Feeling Ruan Chen's hands tightening while holding him, Ruan Mianmian heard his concerned voice above his head: "What are you doing in Lanyuan?" Doesn't Gu Ling'an live there? ”

"Mianmian, are you going to find Gu Ling'an?" Gu Qingrou was a little curious.

Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "No, pass by, go in and take a look." ”

"What's there to see?" Gu Qingrou blurted out.

"The second aunt doesn't like that Gu girl." Ruan Mianmian did not ask, but affirmed.

Waving her hand, Gu Qingrou said: "I don't like it or not, she knows how to be polite, and she came to visit." ”

"Oh, did she offend you?" Ruan Mianmian saw Gu Qingrou's dislike for Gu Ling'an and continued to listen.

"Nope." Gu Qingrou frowned, "How can I say it, she is a very delicate girl, but she just has a feeling that she can't put it into words." ”

"Mother, don't bother with irrelevant people." Ruan Chen said lightly.

After Gu Qingrou heard this, she seemed to have listened to Ruan Chen's words.

Ruan Mianmian was surprised in her heart, the third brother's tone of speech was quite similar to that of the second uncle, but seeing that the second aunt agreed like this, it was as if she was used to listening to him.

The third brother and the second aunt and mother and son get along a bit like themselves and their mother, Ruan Mianmian smiled secretly in her heart.

"Fake." Ruan Mianmian suddenly spoke.

"What a fake." Gu Qingrou asked casually.

Ruan Chen thought for a moment and smiled dumbly: "Mianmian is saying that Gu Ling'an looks hypocritical. ”

"Hypocrisy, yes, these are those two words, I just forgot." Ruan Mianmian added.

Gu Qingrou thought about it, she was just straightforward and not stupid: "Mianmian is right, Gu Lingan smiled at people, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. ”

Reaching out and touching the head of the little milk dumpling, Ruan Chen's voice was very gentle: "Since you know, then it is rare to see her." ”

"By the way, she came to see the second aunt." Ruan Mianmian suddenly mentioned.

Ruan Chen's gaze turned to Gu Qingrou, obviously waiting for her answer.

"She wants to stay in the Hou Mansion, she doesn't look up and looks down, she comes to sit down, and she doesn't say anything." Gu Qingrou's expression was cold when she said this.

Although it was a flash, Ruan Mianmian did not ignore it, and Ruan Chen, who had always been careful, naturally noticed Gu Qingrou's abnormal expression.

"Who else was there when she came that day?" Ruan Chen looked down at Ruan Mianmian in his arms and asked casually.
