The candle flame was jumping under the Ming Wa, and the idle child's small mouth opened and closed, "That's it!" What about the emperor, he can have three wives and four concubines, why can't my sister choose a new son-in-law. ”

She affectionately held Ruan Yuyi's arm, followed Mrs. Ruan's example, and screamed with her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

Ruan Yuyi didn't show her usual smile, but let out a long breath, and nodded her forehead angrily and funny, "What are you talking about, where is the brother-in-law." ”

Xian'er looked at her face carefully, as if she wanted to see something on it, and after a long time, she pursed her lips in some disappointment, and muttered for a while.

It's a pity that she thought that there were people next to Sister A's house just now. After sighing, he began to scold the new emperor again, how to scold how to scold happily. This little girl is still smart, and knows that she does not need to speak official language, so as not to have ears on the wall and fall into her mouth.

The maid waiting in the courtyard warmed the milk, put some osmanthus nectar in it, took a sip, and the mellow fragrance with the richness of osmanthus overflowed the mouth.

Ruan Yuyi took two sips and casually put the cup on the small table in the middle.

I thought that Xian'er would be able to calm down if she had a notebook, but she didn't want to stop thinking about finding a new brother-in-law, so she put her hands on the small table, leaned over to Ruan Yuyi, and knocked on the side:

"Sister, I came to the capital, and I didn't know any friends. Sister knows something, let's go to his house today, and tomorrow he will come to our house, walk around each other, so as not to stay in the house every day and be bored. ”

Ruan Yuyi finished reading the line in front of her, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't talk back for a while.

I have been in Beijing for more than two years, and when I think back to the time when I first arrived, I always feel like I am in a different world. If you really want to talk about meeting friends, thinking about it, it seems that there is only Sister Rong alone.

It turned out that Yan Baolin was also counted, but somehow later, he was estranged after all.

She thought about it for most of the time, and finally she could only shake her head.

Seeing this, Xian'er rolled his eyes and laughed slyly. Sister Ah is not in a hurry, but she wants to help a group of Ah Sisters.

.

At noon the next day, he made a big mistake, and he jumped to Ruan Yuyi's courtyard, followed by two maids. They each have a bearing plate in their hands, a set of mutton fat wrapped flower heads, and a lilac-colored brocade skirt.

Xian'er carried the dress and compared it with her, pushed her to change her clothes, and pulled her hair again.

She cooperated with Xian'er to toss, "What is this going to do?" ”

"The eldest brother set up a banquet and invited a few young ladies from Beijing to come, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with each other." Xian'er commanded the maid who pulled her hair, and looked very interested.

She raised her eyes to look at Ah Mei in the mirror. Xian'er is a lively person, whether it is a person at home or a stranger who only has one side, she can say a word or two to anyone, and her brother arranged this feast, and it is reasonable for her to be happy.

Therefore, Ruan Yuyi didn't think much about it, the makeup was finished, and she was dragged to the hall where the banquet was held, and this little finch was chattering all the way, which made Ruan Yuyi curious, why did she have so many words in her belly.

.

The hall was already full of servants and maids, walking in and out with cups and dishes.

When I went to Taiji, I saw that there were some young people sitting inside, wearing brocade and satin, so it was not lively. The elder brother is not there, I think I am afraid that I am here, and these little Langjun girls are not comfortable playing.

Speaking of being uncomfortable, most of the people at the table knew each other, only Ruan Haoying was born and raised in Wuzhou, and had no acquaintances in the capital. He didn't talk to anyone, just lowered his head and fiddled with the jade cup in front of him, and the tips of his fingers were full of embarrassment.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Ruan Yuyi and the two coming, he unconsciously got up to greet him, and finally had something to do.

"Sister." Ying'er called, her eyes full of "You can count on you".

Xian'er laughed at his stupid mouth, and after sitting for so long, no one could speak.

Ying'er was naturally not convinced, so the two quarreled again.

Everyone at the banquet quietly looked over, Xu was explained, but just watched, no one mentioned the identity of Ruan Yuyi's palace concubine. Those who have a lively mind have already stepped forward to see the courtesy.

"This is the sister of the Ruan family, I have heard my mother mention it, and she is really a fairy-like character." The person who came was a slender man with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at his young age, and when he asked, he realized that he was even more than Ruan Yuyi.

Xian'er finished asking about his age, and then chased after him to ask who Ling's father was and whose son he was.

Ruan Yuyi felt offended, and was about to say something, but she didn't want the other party to answer very willingly, and said with a smile, "My father is the head of the household, and I am the youngest son of the family." ”

Xian'er touched his chin and muttered, "It's good, it's all in the house, and you don't have to get caught up in a fight." ”

Hearing him say this, Ruan Yuyi had some impressions. Before the flower feast, he invited a noble woman into the palace, and she had seen his mother, who was a kind and well-mannered woman.

Several people sat down at the same table, and a maidservant brought a new bowl and a spoon.

The son of this household servant is a talker, and he doesn't use much snacks on the table, so he only cares about telling stories.

"I once went hunting in the forest with my father, and I was not good at riding and shooting, most of them just rode horses for a few laps, and when I went back, I only had to eat what my father hunted.

"It was a strange time, every time an arrow was released, none of them missed, most of them were hares or something. I was interested, for the further I went, the more I went in, the bigger the beast I hunted, and even the little ones who followed me were amazed.

"As a result, I turned my head, and guess what I saw?"

He paused, and led the people at the table to ask.

Xian'er can't sit still and do needles on weekdays, but she is the best to read the book and listen to the story, she is very supportive and asked, "Don't sell Guanzi, the person who sells Guanzi has a boil in his throat and eyes." ”

This person was not annoyed, laughed sullenly, glanced at Ruan Yuyi, and then continued, "I saw a white horse, about two people tall, with a smooth mane on the back of the neck, a sharp horn on its head, and fish scales on its spine.

"Later—"

He traced it in detail.

Ruan Yuyi sipped tea and listened to it too.

"Is this true?" Xian'er listened with great interest, and couldn't help leaning forward and asked.

He replied, "Naturally, it's fake." But he made it up so smoothly that it was as if he had seen it before.

A basin of cold water poured out Xian'er's interest, and she complained a few words in the tail note - she still took it seriously, who died of the joke.

The son-in-law of the waiter's family intended to get close to Ruan Yuyi, and when he saw that half of the teacup in her cup was gone, he snatched the teapot from the maidservant and poured her tea himself, while laughing and said, "What about the girl, but do you take it seriously?" ”

She thanked politely, but did not answer.

After that, Xian'er obviously didn't listen to it very well, and pestered the son of the waiter's family to ask for a few more. Seeing Ruan Yuyi's lack of interest, he also felt bored, so he said nothing.

Helplessly, the idle child committee can really entangle people, so he proposed, "If everyone present sits around and makes a drinking order, the loser tells a strange anecdote, and if he can't tell it, he will punish himself with a glass." ”

When Xian'er heard it, his eyes lit up and he applauded.

Then she naturally came according to what he said, and the visitors on the side, especially the school-age son, all wanted to talk to Ruan Yuyi intentionally or not, and she realized that something was wrong.
