Jiu'er glanced at the signature at the end of the invitation, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, knowing that it was difficult for the county lord.

"How did you guess?"

"Do you still need to guess? will make the mother dare not refuse directly, and because she feels embarrassed, she specially asked Sister Shuang'er to send it over, who else but her? ”

Shuang'er covered her mouth next to her and smiled: "Jiu'er, don't you know how smart our county lord is?" ”

"It's so tall that the hat is on my head." Ruan Mianmian turned to Shuang'er, "Does my mother mean that she doesn't want me to go to the appointment?" ”

Nodding slightly, Shuang'er replied: "The third lady definitely doesn't want the county lord to go, but after all, the county lord Minghui has an unusual identity, and it is up to you to decide whether to go or not in the end." ”

Without waiting for Ruan Mianmian to ask, Jiu'er looked through the invitation card in his hand and said, "Lord Minghui invites you to a garden banquet on the second day of the first lunar month. ”

"Garden feast?" Ruan Mianmian was a little interested, "Visiting the garden? What kind of garden to visit? ”

Shuang'er interjected: "The slave maid listened to the third lady and seemed to say that it was a newly built garden. ”

"Yishou Garden." Ruan Mianmian blurted out.

Jiu'er nodded and said, "The county lord is right, the county lord Minghui's garden banquet will be held in the Queen Mother's Yishou Garden." ”

Ruan Mianmian turned around and said, "Trouble Sister Shuang'er told my mother that I want to go to the appointment." ”

"The third lady has long guessed that the county lord must go back." Frost said casually.

"Tell your mother, please rest assured. The queen mother's garden, the little brother should also go. With him by my side, Li Minghui didn't dare to do anything. ”

Shuang'er bowed and bent her knees: "Yes, the slave went back to report to the third lady." ”

Seeing Shuang'er leave, Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er and walked slowly through the corridor towards her residence.

"County Lord, are you really going to go?"

"Why not?" Ruan Mianmian smiled, "I heard that the exquisite scenery I designed was good, and I originally wanted to find a chance to take a look, but this is not right." ”

"I actually let the county lord Minghui use the Yishou Garden to hold a banquet, the queen mother really loves her."

Ruan Mianmian stopped: "The Queen Mother doesn't love Li Minghui, she loves the king of Southern Xinjiang." ”

Glancing at the post in his hand, Jiu'er asked suspiciously: "The person who can hold the banquet is Lord Minghui." ”

The corners of her mouth hooked into a clear smile, Ruan Mianmian smiled without answering and turned her head forward, Jiu'er followed closely by her side.

Raised his feet and stepped into his bedroom, walked to the familiar chair and sat down, Ruan Mianmian spoke.

"It's been a few days since the king of southern Xinjiang entered Beijing, do you see any other movements of the emperor besides the so-called family banquet that night?"

Jiu'er shook her head: "I haven't heard of any movement, maybe it's because it's almost the New Year." ”

"Don't say it's the king of southern Xinjiang, even if the officials of the feudal territory enter Beijing, it stands to reason that the emperor should set up a banquet and entertain him, and be accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials."

"The county lord is right." Jiu'er suddenly realized, "It's a little strange. ”

"The twists and turns, and you don't understand them." Ruan Mianmian stood up, "Change clothes, I'm going to see my grandfather." ”

In Fu'an Hall, Old Madam Ruan had a gloomy face, and Mama Yun stood beside her with a look that was also not very good.

There is nothing going on in the Ding'an Hou Mansion that Mrs. Ruan doesn't know, and she already knows about Ruan Qi going to Lanyuan to be alone with Gu Ling'an's lonely men and widows.

After a moment of silence, Mama Yun lowered her voice: "Old lady, the third master is confused." ”

"It's confused." Old Madam Ruan frowned, "It's all to blame for me spoiling him too much, what a person he is, and he is so ignorant." ”

"In fact, I can't complain about the third master."

"Mama Yun, don't talk for him." The more Old Madam Ruan thought about it, the more uneasy she became, "Do you think they should have been?" ”

"Not yet." Mama Yun then said, "But the little maid in Lanyuan said that it looked a little too much. ”

Hearing Mama Yun say this, Old Lady Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what, it seems that this Gu Lingan can no longer stay in the Hou Mansion. ”

"The old lady is wise." Mama Yun still has some concerns, "After all, she is the benefactor of our Hou Mansion, and she is a lonely weak woman, if she doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of our Hou Mansion." ”

"You're right." Old Madam Ruan sighed softly, "Let people keep an eye on it, and report it immediately if there is any trouble." ”

"Don't worry, old lady, I stuffed two people into the Orchid Garden today, and there are enough people waiting in it right now."

The meaning of Mama Yun's words was that Lan Yuan was under the surveillance of her own people, and Old Madam Ruan nodded slightly: "You do things, I don't worry." ”

"Do you want to hide this matter from the second lady?"

"That's nature." Old Madam Ruan sank her face, "After the first lunar month, let's think of another way to settle that Gu Ling'an." ”

"The old lady is right." Mama Yun nodded again and again, "I can't let her stay anymore." ”

Old Madam Ruan thought about it and advised: "By the way, I can't tell them about this. ”

"Who can't you tell?" Ruan Mianmian jumped and rushed in from outside the door, "Grandmother, I'm here." ”

"Ouch, little girl, come here, grandmother hug." Old Madam Ruan instantly stretched out her arms with a smile on her face.

Ruan Mianmian flew into the arms of Mrs. Ruan, and wrapped her hands around her grandmother's neck.

"The county lord seems to have grown a little taller." Mama Yun looked at her grandparents and grandchildren with a smile.

"Oh, if I didn't have my grandmother and Mama Yun to feed me delicious snacks, where would I grow taller."

Old Madam Ruan deliberately said: "Ah Yun, listen, it turns out that this little milk dumpling came here with a snack in mind. ”

"No, no, Mianmian came because she was thinking about her grandmother and Mama Yun."

Mama Yun walked out with a smile: "The slave was taken a snack by the county lord." ”

Grandmother and Mama Yun talked about him, Ruan Mianmian was not so easy to be fooled: "Grandmother, what were you and Mama Yun talking about just now?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of bad stuff from irrelevant people in the house." Old Madam Ruan said lightly.

Ruan Mianmian saw that her grandmother was reluctant to say more, so she gave up, but she was sure in her heart that the matter must be related to their mother and daughter. Don't be in a hurry, take the time to knock on the side from Mama Yun's mouth, and you can find it out more or less.

Mama Yun quickly brought a few small snacks, and the grandparents and grandchildren huddled together and enjoyed the joy of family.

The little milk dumpling had bulging cheeks and big eyes blinking, and the old lady Ruan looked at her heart being cute, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never allow the baby little milk dumpling to be hurt in the slightest, even if that person was her own son.

"I've seen the old marquis."

"The old marquis is back."

There was the sound of people saluting and talking outside, and in the blink of an eye, Ruan Geng walked in from outside.

"Grandfather." Ruan Mianmian greeted him with a snack in his hand.

Ruan Geng grinned when he saw Ruan Mianmian: "Oh, why do you eat like a flower-faced cat?" ”
