married daughter

Chapter 331 Chapter 383~384 Climbing the Dragon and Attaching the Phoenix

Luo Shimin dressed her daughter properly, she didn't hear Ruan Yunting's words for a long time, turned her head, and just looked into her pair of autumn eyes full of sadness.Knowing that she was sad because of her own affairs, her heart was moved.

The years of sisterhood have been increasing day by day, until today, it has long turned into an inextricable family relationship, and in the Xu family's deep house, apart from Miao's mother, Ruan Yunting is afraid that only Ruan Yunting can put herself in her place and think about her. Feeling true about her.People around, those who read jokes read jokes, those who chew their tongues behind their backs, but there are no sincere people.

Luo Shimin smiled wryly, not wanting to annoy Ruan Yunting because of her own affairs, nor did she want her to lose confidence in her future marriage, so she smiled and comforted her: "Ting'er need not be sad, everyone has their own destiny. I can't be considered a blind marriage. I was the one who was optimistic about him at the beginning. I knew he was no different from the men nowadays. I was prepared in my heart. I never expected him to be the only one with me. Why can't you find a lover who only loves and spoils you? You will be blessed in the future, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to worry about me, you know?"

Ruan Yunting teased Sister Rui in Luo Shimin's arms with the tassels on her skirt and green melon jade pendant, "Who told us that we are women and we were born in this age? In fact, there is nothing to worry about. As long as we live a good life, we will do everything we can." Afterwards, just let nature take its course. What is determined by God cannot be tolerated at all."

Sister Rui stretched out her chubby hands to grab the tassels, her big black grape-like eyes curved into crescents with a smile, and babbled something she didn't understand.Ruan Yunting smiled more and more gently, and handed the jade pendant to her, "In the future, when Rui'er grows up, she will be more blessed than us."

Luo Shimin also smiled happily, and wanted to exchange the jade pendant for Ruan Yunting, but Sister Rui did not let go.

Ruan Yunting smiled and said: "A pressed skirt, it's worthless, let Rui'er play with it. It's getting late, we should go. Don't go late and ask the third wife to pick."

"Yeah." Luo Shimin replaced Sister Rui with a wet nurse.Leaving Famous Residence with Ruan Yunting, and arrived at Pine Age Hall in a pony carriage.

When the three of them went to the corridor, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the room.Hua Mei politely bowed her knees to say hello, and said with a smile, "My aunt is back, the old lady is very happy."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting also smiled back.

On the side, a little girl opened up the orange-yellow brocade plywood cotton curtain with the pattern of blessing and longevity, and reported loudly inside: "Fourth Grandma and Miss Ruan have arrived."

Ruan Yunting facilitated Luo Shimin to enter the house one after the other, and the nurse followed behind with Sister Rui in her arms. Except for the cotton cloak in the outer room, she bypassed the Eight Immortals to hold the birthday jade screen and went inside to see the whole family. The wife is wearing a rose-red brocade double-breasted cotton bijar, a set of red jewels on her head, and a turquoise blue inlaid red jewel on her forehead. She sits smiling and sitting beside the old lady wearing a royal blue double-breasted cotton beige.Looking at it like this, Xu Caiyue seemed to be blessed with two layers of fat on her waist and abdomen.

"Greetings to the ancestors and all the wives."

Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin saluted together.

The nurse also hugged Sister Rui, and said with a smile, "Sister Rui greets the ancestors and wives."

People from the previous generation were relatively close, and the old lady smiled when she saw the little baby wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and trousers and a tiger-head hat and a powder-carved jade bracelet. She was so happy that her teeth were invisible, and she stretched her arms and said, "Oh, come on!" Bring Sister Rui to me to see."

"Yes." The wet nurse bowed her knees and sent Sister Rui to the warm kang.

Jun Zhaoying is wearing a lake blue plain brocade cloak today, with the fur of a whole black fox at the neckline, which looks solemn and majestic.Seeing Ruan Yunting, he first smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I still don't see you coming."

The girl moved to Jinwu at this time, and Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin took their seats respectively.

"Sister Rui is afraid of the cold, so we took a little longer to prepare. Cousin isn't working today?" Luo Shimin replied.

"There is a holiday today. Ting'er, you still don't recognize it, this is brother Yu." Jun Zhaoying pointed to Jun Zhaoyu beside him and introduced.

Jun Zhaoyu is the son of the second wife of the Jun family. He is twelve years old this year, three years younger than Ruan Yunting. He is already tall, but his face is still immature.Ever since Ruan Yunting entered the room, he had been staring blankly at her indescribably pretty face. Hearing his cousin's introduction, he hurriedly stood up and saluted with a blushing face: "Hello, Sister Ruan."

Ruan Yunting returned the salute: "Hello, brother Yu."

Jun Zhaoying said: "He, just now he has been asking why sister Ruan didn't come. He is in a hurry to get to know you."

Jun Zhaoyu blushed and smiled awkwardly.The girls beside me were also smiling.Ruan Yunting nodded and smiled, but said nothing.

Xu Ningxia rolled a blank look at Ruan Yunting, and peeled the peanuts as if venting her anger. She was afraid of gaining weight, but she refused to eat them.

The old lady and the ladies played with Sister Rui for a while, and saw that the juniors in the room were all sitting dryly, and said: "Now the red plums in the back garden are blooming just right, Brother Ming, take everyone out for a stroll Relieve boredom."

"Yes." Xu Chengming stood up and said yes, Ruan Yunting, Luo Shimin and the brothers and sisters of the third room all stood up and saluted, exited the warm pavilion, put on the cotton cloak outside, and left the Pine Age Hall.

Along the way, people automatically divided into two groups.Xu Chengming led Xu Chengshuo and Xu Chengzhen, and Jun Zhaoyu walked in front together. Xu Ningxia naturally kissed her fourth brother and pulled Xu Xueqi to follow.Xu Ningmin and Xu Ninghui followed the trend and were with them.

On Jun Zhaoying's side, there were only Ruan Yunting, Luo Shimin and Xu Ningqiao as companions.

Seeing the lively crowd walking away, Luo Shimin said: "If we all go to the back garden, it will be noisy. The four of us might as well go to the East Garden. Although there are no red plums there, the beauty is that it is quiet, and a few white plums are also great. pleasing."

"That's great. I'm too lazy to talk to those people." Jun Zhaoying waved his hands carelessly, took the lead and walked in front, and walked through the hallway to the front yard first, which showed that he already knew the terrain of Xu's house like the palm of his hand.

Ruan Yunting made it easy for Xu Ningqiao and Luo Shimin to accompany her.

Although the East Garden is not as big as the Back Garden, it is full of grass and viburnum in summer.It's just that now it's covered with a thick blanket of snow, only the path leading to the Moon Gate has been cleaned, the rest of the place is covered in silver, and snow has fallen on the white plums, it's almost impossible to tell where Where there is snow and plum blossoms, it seems a little lonely.

The three walked around the bluestone road beside the rockery a few times, Jun Zhaoying pouted and said, "It's not interesting to just walk."

"Could it be possible that the fourth young master also proposed to play 'blind touch'?"

Ruan Yunting looked at his teasing eyes, which reminded him of the scene in the back garden three years ago, and immediately laughed: "You still say, if Lanzhou and I didn't save you, I don't know how stupid you are!" When will you touch it yourself?"

Ruan Yunting thought of herself at that time, but she didn't feel wronged, she just smiled.Luo Shimin felt a little guilty.

Xu Ningqiao asked suspiciously: "Hey? What kind of blind man touches it?"

"It's not her yet." Jun Zhaoying pointed at Ruan Yunting: "That year, it was also the third day of the first lunar month. I came with Shi Min and Brother Yu, and Brother Ming took us to the back garden to play blind. It just so happened that it was her turn, but who would have thought that her popularity was so bad, the girl and the boys sneaked away while she was blindfolded, and left her alone in the red plum grove. If Lan Zhou and I hadn't kindly reminded her She, she's still crying!"

"Ah?" Xu Ningqiao heard the words and looked at Ruan Yunting sympathetically.

Luo Shimin took Ruan Yunting's hand and didn't speak.

Ruan Yunting held her hand back, and sighed softly: "Who knows that in three years, the world has changed, and now Lan Zhou is no longer your attendant, but has become a high official in the Xiwu Kingdom, and Shi Min has also married and become a woman. Sister Rui has given birth."

Luo Shimin was also emotional when she heard the words, "Yes."

Jun Zhaoyingjian and the others felt hurt when they touched the scene, thinking that their friend Jun Lanzhou is no longer by his side to be his think tank, and they are also quite emotional.He didn't like the atmosphere to be so low, and when he saw Xu Ningqiao, he remembered how he was completely invincible to her that day.There were so many people present that day, those outsiders thought that Xu Ning's martial arts were superior to Xu Ning's ingenuity, but those outsiders could see that he relied on brute force to win.

These days he has studied hard and practiced hard, his kung fu is no longer the same as before, this tone is just right to let it out.

Thinking of this, Jun Zhaoying walked to Xu Ningqiao's side with his hands behind his back, slightly shortening his body and accommodating her height, and smiled, "Miss Qiao, why don't we compete?"

"Competition?" Xu Ningqiao was taken aback, her pretty face flushed.Although shy, her face was very indifferent, and she looked at him teasingly: "Do you really want to compare?"

"Compare, why not." Jun Zhaoying became masculine, and thought to himself, if Xu Ningqiao is not dealt with today, will he keep such a failure for the rest of his life?

Xu Ningqiao cast a blinding glance at him, and then burst into a smile: "That's fine, anyway, only Fourth Sister-in-law and Sister Ting are here today."

The implication is that if you lose, you are not afraid of being known.

Jun Zhaoying couldn't bear the excitement, almost jumped up, and yelled angrily: "If you are not afraid, let's go to the back garden to compete and hand over all the servants of the Xu family to be a witness!" He still doesn't believe it, can it be Still lose to her?

Seeing Jun Zhaoying like this by chance, Xu Ning felt that he was cute and tight, and guessing his face, she made a delicate appearance, and said shyly: "Don't have so many people come, if I really lose, I will be defeated by so many people." See, how can you say that I was trained by General Xu in the future!"

"En." Jun Zhaoying snorted deeply, "What you said makes sense, let my cousin and Ting'er be a witness." Looking at Luo Shimin and Ruan Yunting: "How?"

Luo Shimin and Ruan Yunting had been watching the excitement for a while, but the more they watched, the more they felt that they were right.Hearing the words, they all nodded.

"If that's the case, come on." Jun Zhaoying and Xu Ningqiao arrived at the spacious place in the middle of the ground, and each opened their postures.

Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin are both laymen, so they couldn't see the quality of kung fu at first, but the two of them were extremely fast, and they turned into two lights and shadows of lake blue and peach red respectively. .

Xu Ningqiao just felt extremely happy at this moment.The more exquisite the moves of the person in front of her, the more surprised she avoided, the more she felt happy.

Jun Zhaoying's martial arts has really made great progress.Earlier, Xu Ningqiao was almost defeated by Xu Ningqiao within ten moves, but now he has surpassed a hundred moves in a blink of an eye.

The longer she fights, the more Jun Zhaoying realizes that her kung fu is still superior to her own.If he loses again today, where will he save his face?When anxious, the tricks will inevitably be confused.Xu Ningqiao seized an opportunity to go straight to him.

Jun Zhaoying's heart skipped a beat, and when she was about to suffer, Xu Ningqiao changed her tactics and nearly fell down.

"Ah!" Xu Ningqiao exclaimed.

"Sister Qiao!" Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin were also taken aback, and rushed to help her up.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jun Zhaoying grabbed Xu Ningqiao's slender waist and helped her stand still.

Xu Ningqiao blushed and took a step back, lowering her head: "Thank you, Fourth Young Master."

"No, no, you're welcome." Jun Zhaoying's face was also blushing.It was like a mirror in his heart, Xu Ningqiao deliberately let him in today, if not, he would have punched himself in the face just now.Even if she is weak and doesn't hurt, being beaten by Xu Ning skillfully in front of Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin is still a shameful thing.

Luo Shimin and Ruan Yunting have come to the front at this moment, supporting Xu Ningqiao from left to right, "Miss Seven, are you okay?"

Xu Ningqiao shook her head, her delicate face turned redder: "It's okay."

Jun Zhaoying coughed in embarrassment, trying to change the subject: "Well, I heard that my second aunt said that she came here today to see my marriage, hey, do you know that Mrs. Xu and my second aunt are going to arrange for me? who?"

Xu Ningqiao's face was already in the collar.

"Well." Ruan Yunting glanced at Luo Shimin, who was holding back her laughter, and blinked playfully: "There are no outsiders here, so let me tell you first, which one do you like more?"

Xu Ningqiao raised her head when she heard the words. Although she was purely curious, she couldn't hide the tension in her eyes.

But Jun Zhaoying didn't notice it, and carelessly scratched her fingers: "Eighth girl can't do it, her temper is probably going to spoil my appetite; Ninth girl is not good, she used to be a little fat, and she has a strange temper; Tenth girl is silent I'm so timid, if I really marry her, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death one day; Miss Qi is too reckless and annoying; as for Ting'er, she's just like my sister now, she doesn't feel it." Jun Zhaoying glanced at Ruan Yunting, thinking that he had thought about her before, but after she was given a marriage, he knew that he had no hope, and his thoughts gradually faded.

Xu Ningqiao became nervous, and talked about it, but didn't mention her?

Jun Zhaoying seemed to have something to do, and looked at Xu Ningqiao again, smashing his mouth: "As for the Seven Girls, it's good to be good. I just fear that she will be beaten every day."

Ruan Yunting and Luo Shimin were taken aback when they heard the words, then they couldn't help laughing and covered their mouths.

Xu Ningqiao rolled his eyes.

Luo Shimin said: "You are serious. Don't look at Seventh Girl's martial arts skills, but she is a female celebrity, so she falls behind? When the old lady celebrates her birthday, she embroiders a hundred-year-old embroidered screen that is even worn in the palace. All the embroiderers in the bureau sighed that they were not as good as they could really go out of the hall and into the kitchen. If you really follow you, you can cover up and go laughing."

"No." Ruan Yunting bent Xu Ningqiao's arm and shook it twice.Xu Ningqiao really wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in at this moment.

At this moment, Jun Zhaoying didn't know who he was going to promise him.Just at this time, Chanjuan walked into the East Garden quickly wearing a dark green cotton cloak, shook her head and said: "The masters are here so that the servants can easily find them. The old lady has passed the meal, please masters Move to the dining room to eat."

"Understood." Ruan Yunting responded, Chanjuan stood up, and came to support Ruan Yunting with a smile, and the group hurried back to Pine Age Hall.

After lunch, Xu Caiyue took Jun Zhaoying and Jun Zhaoyu to leave.Everyone was also tired, and went back to their courtyards to rest.

Ruan Yunting took a sip of tea and asked Hong Dou, "Has Lord Lan not come back yet?"

Ruan Yunlan went out early this morning and didn't see him back during lunch time.

Hongdou shook her head, and put on Ruan Yunting a cloud shoulder with a honey-combined pigment surface and embedded wind hair.

At this moment, Chanjuan's surprised voice suddenly came from outside: "Master Lan is back? Hey? Master Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Before he could finish speaking, the blue plywood cotton curtain had been lifted.Wearing a brown plain satin cloak, Ruan Yunlan rushed in like a frightened wind, "Sister, help me block it!" She got into the clean room behind in a blink of an eye.

Ruan Yunting got up suspiciously and went to the clean room, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, just block it for me." Ruan Yunlan sat on the brocade tree annoyed.

"Miss." Chanjuan entered the room, "Go back, Miss, Princess Qingge has arrived."

Ruan Yunting was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and gently pushed Ruan Yunlan's forehead.

Ruan Yunlan made a silent gesture.

There was the sound of fine footsteps outside, followed by the sound of the bead curtain shaking.Ruan Yunting knew that Princess Qingge had arrived, so she hurriedly left the clean room and went to the main hall.

Princess Qingge was originally in a hurry, but when she saw Ruan Yunting, she immediately suppressed her temper and saluted with a smile: "Sister."

"Princess, don't be too polite." Ruan Yunting hurriedly saluted.

Han Qingge had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and helped Ruan Yunting up with both hands, "Sister, don't do this."

Standing up, Ruan Yunting asked Han Qingge to take a seat. Before she could speak, she saw Han Qingge with her waist crossed, curled her lips and said, "Ruan Yunlan, you liar, you have promised to others and now you are back on your word! I know you are here ! You haven't come out yet!"

"..." Ruan Yunting immediately felt speechless, and took the opportunity to look carefully at Princess Qingge. Her pretty smiling face was flushed with anger, and her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried.

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, what happened to brother Lan, and how did he make the princess cry!

"Princess, but Brother Lan bullied you?" Ruan Yunting stood up with a solemn expression.No matter what happens, Brother Lan is a man after all. Could it be that he learned to bully women at a young age, and even forgot his gentlemanly demeanor?

The princess held her mouth shut, and sat down on the armchair, "Brother Lan, he coaxed me, he is not trustworthy!"

"The princess can tell me conveniently? If he really did too much, I will not spare him!"

Hearing this, Han Qingge complained like a child who has been bullied: "Yesterday some fresh vegetables were brought into the mansion, so I wanted to cook a meal of beef and green onion dumplings for brother Lan myself. But Brother Lan didn't believe it, and said that I couldn't do it by myself. I was not convinced, and made a bet with him. If I could complete it by myself, he would promise me a condition. He agreed. Later, I prepared stuffing by myself, Yuancong, how difficult it is to cut my sister knows, I cut tears yesterday, and my eyes are still red and swollen today. Who knew that Dumpling Lan brother ate it, but today he went back on his word, saying that he did not fulfill his promise , I said a few more words, and he escaped!"

Ruan Yunting was amazed, Ruan Yunlan's calm temperament, even sometimes bet with women?
It can be seen that he is really different to Princess Qingge.

Ruan Yunting asked curiously: "I don't know what kind of bet the Princess and Brother Lan made?"

"We have agreed, if he loses, he will accompany me to the palace for a banquet today." The princess pouted, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat.

Today the emperor held a family banquet in the palace, and all the royal family members were present, and no ministers were invited.If Ruan Yunlan goes to the banquet with the Princess, doesn't that mean that he is her "family"?What's more, if the emperor and the queen mother don't say a word when they see Ruan Yunlan, then Ruan Yunlan's identity will be confirmed!
"Princess, does the Ninth Prince know about this?"

"My father knows about it. I told him yesterday, and he agreed." Princess Qingge got up and went to Ruan Yunting, took her hand and said, "Good sister, tell me Brother Lan is here. Where, once a man says something, it's hard to follow, how can he break his promise to a little girl like me? Wouldn't it be a joke to spread it out!"

The last sentence, Princess Qingge said very loudly, as if she was afraid that Ruan Yunlan, who was hiding somewhere, would not hear her.

The princess is still a child at heart, but her love for Ruan Yunlan is real.Ruan Yunting persuaded gently: "The princess calms down, can you listen to me?"

"Of course I listen to my sister's words."

Ruan Yunting smiled and persuaded: "It's almost time to go to the banquet, the princess might as well go back to the palace to dress up and get ready. I'll send someone to look for brother Lan. Whether he goes to the banquet or not, I will definitely know." Let me give you a quasi-letter, I wonder if this is okay?"

Han Qingge wanted to catch Ruan Junlan out, but she was afraid that Ruan Yunlan would feel disgusted if she forced her too hard. Besides, it was getting late, and she had to go back home to change clothes.

"Okay, thank you sister, I'm sorry for your trouble." Han Qingge sighed, took Ruan Yunting's hand and shook it: "Sister, I will leave this matter to you."

"Don't worry, princess, I will do my best."

Ruan Yunting sent Han Qingge out with a smile, and sent her to the second gate before turning back to the Jingsi Garden.

Back in the main hall, I saw Ruan Junlan sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking tea.

Ruan Yunting looked at him teasingly: "Brother Lan, is what the Princess said just now true?"

"Yeah." Ruan Yunlan nodded.

Ruan Yunting sat next to him, and said in a serious low voice: "Brother Lan, tell your sister, do you have a heart for the princess?"

Ruan Yunlan's handsome face immediately blushed, "I'm... not tired of her. But sister, if I go to the banquet today, the news will definitely spread all over the city tomorrow. Well said, it's me and The princess has a close relationship. If I say something bad, I will be accused of being a dragon and a phoenix. I have no fame now. If I get close to her, even if I go to high school in the future, some people will say that I rely on the Ninth Prince It's only because of face, I don't want to do that."

Ruan Yunting was indifferent upon hearing this.Ruan Yunlan's concerns are not fake, if he is really perfunctory, he is afraid that he will be put on the hat of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.
