married daughter

Chapter 68

Not long after, Xu Chengming and all the brothers, Xu Ningxia and other sisters came one after another, kowtowed to the old lady, said auspicious words, and sent the congratulatory gifts she prepared. The old lady, well-behaved and sweet words, coaxed the old lady to smile happily.The third master finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the wife's life is not satisfactory, at least the concubine taught the children well.

For a while the atmosphere in the hall was joyful.

Second Mistress Wang Yuanshuang entered the door and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, the stage has already been ordered to be set down, and the little opera singers are here, can you move over?"

"Okay, okay, let's go together." The old lady smiled, holding Ruan Yunting with her left hand and Xu Chengfeng's hand with her right, walking ahead, the third and second masters looked at each other, and went to the front yard to greet the guests.

Xu Ningxia came to Ruan Yunting's side and squeezed her away, took the old lady's arm to please her and said with a smile: "The old ancestor is careful about the steps."

On a festive day, the old lady asked for auspiciousness, she didn't say much, she just nodded with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Ruan Yunting was not angry that she was squeezed away by Xu Ningxia, she found an opportunity to go to Ruan Yunlan's side, and asked in a low voice: "Have you received the letter?"

Ruan Yunlan replied awkwardly: "I received it, and sent it to someone."

Taking a long breath, Jianshui's big eyes were full of gratitude and joy: "Brother Lan, thank you!"

Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, no matter how much worry and anger he had in his heart, he couldn't vent his anger. A little smile appeared on his handsome face like hers, and he let out a "huh".

He understood that in fact, everything Ruan Yunting did was for the future of the two of them, not for herself.Although he acted illegally, his purpose was good. If he did not go out of line, he would help if he could.

Both the second master Xu Chengxuan and the third master Xu Xing's family were appointed officials by the imperial court, and because of their identities as the second master and noble concubine, there were still more than fifty tables set up in the front yard.The second grandma is very busy, those who receive the right card to get things, and those who ask questions, are very busy.The eldest wife and the third wife are in the inner house, entertaining the noble ladies and daughters from various houses who come to pay their birthday wishes.As long as the old lady watched a small show, there were no fewer than 30 ladies who came to invite them to pay their respects.Ruan Yunting and the others took the opportunity to meet many people.

Although she couldn't go out of the house to attend the appointment, but the plan was sent out with the letter, and the big stone in her heart was put down, and she was in a particularly happy mood.After studying with Madam Cao for a period of time, she naturally behaved well, as did the other sisters in the third room, and won unanimous praise from the ladies, and the smiling third wife could not close her mouth from ear to ear.

While chatting, the third master's personal attendant rushed in quickly, kowtowed a few steps away, and said: "Go back to the old lady, the fifth uncle is here, and he has already entered the second gate."

With a heartbeat, Ruan Yunting was astonished, and those who knew the inside story also did not expect Jun Zhaoyan to come.

Not long after, Jun Zhaoyan, who was wearing a blue satin gown with glittering purple cloud patterns and a golden lychee inlaid jewelry hook on his waist, showing a thinner figure, strode into the courtyard.

At this moment, the drama has stopped, and the courtyard is very quiet.All the female relatives looked forward curiously.The old lady unconsciously clenched the armrest of the armchair, as if she was afraid that he might say something that shouldn't be said.

Jun Zhaoyan saluted respectfully, and said: "My son-in-law wishes my ancestors good fortune and longevity. Xiu'er is not feeling well and it is difficult to go out, so I specially ask my son-in-law to come and present you with a birthday present."

The attendant behind him brought a square flat box of bright red brocade and presented it with both hands.

The old lady took the flat box full of complexity and opened it. Inside was a round fan with a white cat and butterfly embroidered on it. The embroidery was exquisite and the colors were bright. The kittens and butterflies were lifelike and very pleasing.

Jun Zhao said: "Xiu'er did not forget her ancestor's birthday when she was recovering from illness. She embroidered this fan carefully. Summer is coming, so it is good for you to play with." I wish the ancestors a long life and a long life, and a longer life than Nanshan."

As the words fell, all the noble ladies praised the fifth girl for her filial piety and respect for etiquette, and also praised her for her delicate reds and extraordinary embroidery skills. She is worthy of being a famous lady from Fengxian Academy.

The louder the praise, the hotter the ears of the old lady and the third wife became.When Xu Ningxiu did such scandalous things, the Jun family not only kept it quiet, but also tried their best to protect her reputation, so benevolent and righteous!
Perhaps, he should choose a successor for Jun Zhaoyan in the Xu family, which can be regarded as compensation.

Ruan Yunting lowered her head, her bangs covered her sad eyes.There was a strange feeling in my heart.

Up to now, through the skin, I can't go back to the past. What's the use of knowing the affection of Jun Zhaoyan after knowing it?She was moved, but not emotional. She had complex emotions such as pity and slight resentment towards the gentle man.Although she was arrogant and reckless in her previous life, she was not a black-hearted bad embryo. If Jun Zhaoyan really loved her and doted on her deeply, why did she still dote on those three concubines?Or is it her fault from beginning to end, and it is absolutely impossible to imagine that ancient men would treat their wives wholeheartedly?
Thinking of his unjust death in his previous life, he still doesn't know who the murderer was, and he treated Xue wronged, and even made the Xu family feel guilty, and he felt guilty.

The slight joy in Ruan Yunting's heart was immediately diluted.

The excitement in the mansion continued.Originally, this kind of thing was a good opportunity to "communicate with colleagues" and "make friends with ladies".The old lady was exhausted, so she went back to have a rest after being with her for a while, while Ruan Yunting followed the third wife and circled among the noble ladies, but she heard all the gossip about many famous families in the city.

After the evening banquet, a firework stand was set up in front of Xu's house, and the second grandmother, Zhang Luo, placed the table in front of the south gate. Headed by the old lady, all the distinguished guests gathered in front of the gate to watch the fireworks.The smell of gunpowder filled the air, the sound of fireworks was endless, and the night sky was dyed in brilliant colors. The brothers and sisters who watched were so excited that they almost forgot the rules they had learned for more than four months, and laughed excitedly.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ruan Yunting left the crowd, walked through the hall into the east courtyard, and walked towards the east garden.

I just heard from a servant that Jun Zhaoyan was there drinking alone with Yue.

PS: I recommend two modern romance novels by my friend Yun Tingyu.
