Chapter 296 A Child Without an Umbrella Must Run Hard

After all, Ruan Yunting was worried about Luo Shimin, so she hurriedly ate japonica rice porridge the next morning and went straight to Chengmingju.Just after entering the door, Ms. Miao greeted her, smiled and saluted, "Miss Ruan is well."

"Mother Miao, how is Shi Min?" Ruan Yunting frowned, subconsciously looked up into the room.

Miao's mother said: "Our grandma is really good at predicting things. Just now she was thinking about the girl and said that you would come early in the morning. I said that the girl is busy with school, and she might arrive after school. But you see, what is it?" Grandma and the girls and sisters have a good heart, don't they?"

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night, and my old mother stopped me, saying that it's not suitable for my daughter to come, otherwise I would have come when Shi Min gave birth yesterday."

Mother Miao cherishes Luo Shimin the most. After listening to Ruan Yunting's words, her smile became much gentler, and she leaned sideways and respectfully led Ruan Yunting up the steps: "Miss, go slowly, grandma just got up and had breakfast. Master also went to Xinlanju to pay his respects to the third wife."

"What about the little lady? Have you ever given a name?"

"I took it. The fourth master gave it to me. The single name is Rui."

"Sister Rui? The stamen is the heart of the flower. The fragrance is all here, and it is protected by the petals. Doesn't it mean the jewel in the palm. It can be seen that the fourth cousin likes sister Rui very much."

Miao's mother beamed at Ruan Yunting's words, and nodded again and again: "No, the fourth master hurt my sister. But... hey, you can persuade our grandma more later."

While talking, the two had already reached the back room, and Ms. Miao followed Ruan Yunting into the room and carefully closed the curtain.

Ruan Yunting walked around the screen and stood in the middle of the ground with a smile, "Shi Min."

"Ting'er." Luo Shimin was lying down, and was about to get up when she heard the sound.

Ruan Yunting hurriedly went to her bed and sat down, and said: "Your body is still weak, don't move around, I learned yesterday that you gave birth prematurely, I was so frightened that the three souls lost their seven souls, how can you be so good in less than a month..."

"Don't mention it, it's because I can't hold my breath." Luo Shimin looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so she said in a low voice: "I went to greet the third wife last night, she mentioned that Zifu was almost sick in the village. I want to pick her up, and I feel angry, the more Miao Miao persuades me when I come back, the more angry I become, and I accidentally tripped over the threshold when I was walking, and my stomach started to hurt."

Speaking of this, Luo Shimin sighed: "I'm just too impatient, a little thing can make me like this, if it's really because of this that I lost my child, Zi Fu won without a fight before he came back."

Ruan Yunting understands the sadness in her heart. She is still in the confinement period, so it is best to maintain a peaceful mood, so she does not say those negative things, and tries to persuade her in a soft voice: "Anyway, mother and child are safe. What? And the fourth cousin also likes Sister Rui very much."

"Really?" Luo Shimin was a little skeptical: "I saw that neither the ancestor nor the third wife looked happy, nor did the fourth master."

"It's you who think too much, look at Sister Rui, three hearts are all on her, how can you not love her?"

Luo Shimin blinked her eyes, then burst out laughing, all her worries were swept away, "You girl, you only know how to coax me with nice words."

"I'm not kidding you, it's the truth."

At this moment, the little girl outside reported through the curtain: "Fourth grandma, fourth master said that many adults came to congratulate him, he went to the front hall to meet guests, and he will be back in a while."

"En." Luo Shimin replied in a dying voice, although her face did not move, the arc of her mouth had already revealed her good mood.

Ruan Yunting felt relieved when she saw that she was happy, and talked to her for a while before resigning and going to school.

From Chengmingju to the front yard, we happened to pass the Rongzhi Hall for receiving guests.When Ruan Yunting arrived at the west gate of Rongzhi Hall, she paused slightly, and told Chanjuan who was behind her: "Go and inquire quietly later, and see who came to congratulate you today. I want to know after school."

"Yes. Don't worry, girl."

Ruan Yunting went to school with peace of mind, and returned to the Jingsi Garden after school, Chanjuan replied: "Miss, for a whole day today, more than [-] adults have come to congratulate."

"So much?" Ruan Yunting was very surprised.Because the third master's status in the court is not high, he is just a fifth-rank official, and the fourth master passed the autumn test, but his grades were not satisfactory, and he is still in the process of further study.More than [-] officials came, there were quite a lot, even if it was aimed at the Xu family's face and status, it was still a bit exaggerated.

"The slaves are illiterate, so they couldn't record them, so they had to secretly chat with the little girls in front of them, and learned that the seven or eight adults who came earlier were all officials below the fifth rank. Later, the fourth grandma's father Luo Ji After Jiu came here in person, some high-ranking officials came, and they seemed to be from Zhen Guosi, and the highest one was the second-rank official."

"Second Grade Officer? You mean after Luo Jijiu arrives?"

"That's right. Chuntao was the girl who was in charge of serving tea at that time. She said that Luo Jijiu's expression was very surprised when so many court officials came later. She said that our house is famous. First, there was the noble concubine Renxian, and now there are With Concubine Wangui, these high court officials who used to be at odds with us have also started to take the opportunity to draw closer to us."

Ruan Yunting nodded when she heard the words, sent everyone down, and leaned on the Concubine Xiang's couch alone and relaxed.

What happened today is strange.

Seven or eight adults came earlier, all officials below the fifth rank, and then Luo Jijiu arrived.I think Luo Jijiu came to Luojijiu because he was worried that his daughter would be left out in the Xu family after giving birth to a baby girl, so he had to put on a show to demonstrate.But Yishui'er who came later was an official of rank five or above, and Luo Jijiu's expression was so surprised that even Chuntao, a maid, could see it.It can be seen that Luo Jijiu didn't know that those people would come later, nor did he expect them to come.

Could it be that those Zhen Guosi officials from the second rank to the fifth rank came to get close to the Xu family for no reason?After Ruan Yunting came to the military department, she also knew more about Liangguo. The so-called Zhenguo Division is actually an organization directly under the emperor's orders, specializing in assassination, snooping and surveillance.Although Zhen Guosi is above the six ministries, and not all of his subordinates hold official positions in the court, any one of them has a very high status.

Luo Jijiu, a literati of the first class, from the official position of the fourth rank, to put it bluntly, is the president of the national public university. How could he have any connection with the people of Zhen Guosi?

Perhaps, these people didn't come here looking at Luo Jijiu's face?But because of the Xu family?Could it be that the Xu family secretly had friendship with the people from Zhen Guosi?Or, those people, with the same purpose as Luo Jijiu, just came to support Luo Shimin?So who is that person behind their scenes?Why are they doing this?

Ruan Yunting suddenly remembered the person who lived in the mountain behind the Ping'an Temple, and remembered some things about Luo Shimin's life experience, and finally sighed.There is no harm to Luo Shimin about this matter. After giving birth to a daughter, the third wife may neglect Luo Shimin. Now that the Luo family has recruited contacts to support their daughter, whether it is the third wife or the old lady, they have to think carefully about showing Luo Shimin's face .

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting couldn't help smiling bitterly.Regardless of whether the father is relative or not, Luo Shimin has a backer anyway.If she has such a day in the future, she doesn't know who she can rely on.

She remembered that in modern times, she had heard a cross talk actor tell an experience - when she was a child, her family was poor, and every time it rained, her classmates waited for their parents to bring umbrellas, and he was the only one who rushed home, because he You know, even if you wait, there is no umbrella at home to send.

"Children without umbrellas must run hard."

Isn't she the child without an umbrella now?She still has to work hard to strengthen herself, no one can rely on, so rely on herself.

In May, the weather is getting hotter.The draft is also in full swing.Originally, Xu Xiangwan was seriously ill. In order to make the emperor happy, imperial concubine Renxian and concubine Lu planned to make a big deal in this year's draft.Who knew that after Wanrong Huarong was promoted to the position of noble concubine, the emperor's heart was overjoyed, and he also had the mind to intervene in the harem affairs. The words "keep everything simple" disrupted the plans of the empress Renxian and Concubine Lu.

After the draft, the atmosphere in the Xu family was very tense. The servants walked with their heads down, for fear of touching the brows of the girls who were not selected. The eighth girl, the ninth girl and the Qi girl all played, but they all missed.

But Ruan Yunting knew it well, when Xu Xiangwan recovered from his illness, he had already been promoted from a third-rank noble concubine, and even the third master was made a baron, with three hundred households in the city, and the emperor specially rewarded him with a mansion. Let Xu Xiangwan's parents and family live in Liangcheng.

This incident has already broken the balance, how could the draft show allow the Xu family's daughter to enter the palace again?

However, the news that came out later made the old lady silent for a while.

Concubine Lu was conferred the title of Concubine Rougong, and she was given the right to govern the six palaces together with Concubine Renxian. The status has not changed, but some food and food are rewarded.

Chanjuan reported the matter to Ruan Yunting, and said that the old lady didn't respond after hearing it, but it was when the old lady couldn't hold back and nagged for a long time.Ruan Yunting just smiled.

The emperor is a master at juggling power, how could he allow the Xu family to dominate?It seems that although he likes beauties, he is not a foolish emperor.Up to now, the situation is really balanced, which may still be a good thing for the Xu family.

"Girl, Mother Han is here." Hongdou passed the door when she came in, and turned to invite Han Bin's family to come in.

Ruan Yunting put down the teacup, stood up and greeted Han Bin's family affectionately, took the hand of Han Bin's family and said, "It's a hot day, why did Mother Han come in person? Chanjuan, quickly bring the sour plum soup."

"Yes."

Chanjuan responded and went down, Han Bin said with a smile: "Girl, the old lady still has orders, I will leave after I finish talking."

"Mom, please tell."

"Tomorrow, there will be a lotus appreciation conference on the bank of Wangxia Lake. The daughters of the famous families with hairpin tassels in Liangcheng will all participate. The old lady said that the fourth grandma is confinement, and people are very depressed. I want you to accompany her. Girls, Girls Eight, Girls Nine, Girls Ten, and Girls Qi are going together. The young men in our mansion are going too."

Ruan Yunting changed her mind when she heard the words, and smiled: "Okay, I understand if I trouble you to answer the old lady's words."
