married daughter

Chapter 69 The Covenant
The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and red lanterns are hung every few peach trees on the bank to light up the shimmering lake surface.In the crystal clear night, a thin man in a blue gown sat on the railing of the bridge, holding the wine jar in his arms, propped up on one leg, and poured his mouth full with his head raised.

Ruan Yunting's footsteps were slow, restraining her sadness, and walked forward with a smile, and stopped three steps away, her tone was full of surprises of coincidence:
"Fifth sister-in-law."

When Jun Zhaoyan turned his head, the target was a girl in pink and white who looked extremely delicate under the night.Squinting his long eyes slightly, he vaguely thought of her, and said with waning interest, "Oh, it's the younger sister of the Ruan family."

He bowed his knees and saluted, with a bright smile on his face, and a clear voice full of doubts: "Fifth brother-in-law, it's busy ahead, don't you want to watch the fireworks?"

"I don't like it." Holding the wine jar with his left hand, he raised his head and took another sip, his Adam's apple slipped.

Ruan Yunting couldn't bear it, "Fifth brother-in-law, you have to cherish yourself no matter what." The deceased is dead, so self-torture is nothing more than making others feel sad.

Jun Zhaoyan looked sideways, his eyes blurred by drinking became brighter, he waved his hands and said, "Go and play."

Ruan Yunting did not back down, and approached slowly, stood beside the bridge fence behind him, looked at the dark lake reflecting the lights, and said softly, "Why didn't Fifth Sister come?"

The more bored he became, Jun Zhaoyan felt that the girl in front of him was troubled by many things, so he said emphatically, "Miss Ruan, go play somewhere else."

He still has the same temperament, even if he is annoyed, he will not speak out, and he is polite to everyone.Ruan Yunting lowered her head and said, "But the other concubines in the house are bullying Fifth Sister?"

If the scars were exposed and the pus and blood were flowing, Jun Zhaoyan's anger was stirred up by the pain, and he smashed the wine jar in his hand to the lake, shouting: "I let you go away!"

Unafraid of his sudden anger, he walked around in front of him, his clear eyes filled with starlight, crystal clear and pure.The soul-stirring soft voice was full of pity, "Fifth brother-in-law, fifth sister was really bullied by my concubine, didn't she?"

The initial irritability and impatience gradually faded under her purely caring tone. There are still people in this world who think about Xiu'er like him.Unlike other people in this mansion, family affection is so weak.

The annoyance that his ignorance of her disturbed him suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that he was silent, Ruan Yunting clenched her bare hands tightly in her sleeves, with thin sweat dripping from her palms, and said with a relaxed smile, "Fifth Sister was really bullied? Then Fifth Sister-in-law will definitely stand up for her, right?"

"...Yes." With a bitter answer, Jun Zhaoyan closed his eyes, wrapped his hands around his knees, and buried his face in his arms.

Did he already know her injustice?Then why not explain it to her, and let her continue to bear the charge of infidelity?He was full of doubts and couldn't ask, his heart seemed to be hollowed out by someone.She originally thought he didn't know, but seeing how he behaved now, how could she not be suspicious or chill?
In any case, the clues are in the Junfu, she must go and see for herself, maybe after seeing the three concubines and the former maid, she can find some evidence to clear her grievances.

But how can she go to the Junfu?
With an innocent smile, Ruan Yunting looked at Jun Zhaoyan, with a little timidity and pleading in her voice, "I haven't seen Fifth Sister for a long time, if it's some time, I'd like to go see her gone."

Jun Zhaoyan couldn't bear to refuse the deer-like eyes. Remembering that his wife said that Miss Biao was ignorant, he smiled kindly and said, "I heard that you want to take the exam on the eighth day of June?"

Ruan Yunting vaguely understood, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Why don't we agree that if you are admitted to Fengxian Academy, I will take you to the Junfu to visit your fifth sister?"

Being so kind, I couldn't bear to refuse directly, and turned around to dismiss her thoughts.

Ruan Yunting sighed softly, and said with a smile: "It's a deal, fifth brother-in-law is not allowed to break his word."

The bright eyes of the young girl in front of her when she smiled were very similar to those of her deceased wife. She stared blankly at her until she saw her face blushing and lowering her head shyly before realizing that she was impolite. .”

The tranquil lake surface suddenly reflected the red fireworks blooming in the sky, and it took only a moment for it to bloom until it collapsed.It illuminated the faces of Ruan Yunting and Jun Zhaoyan, and also illuminated the figures of Han Bin's family behind the rockery.

two months later.

The breeze caresses, and in front of the open carved wooden window, the silver bell decorated with the net of "Five Blessings" with red thread makes a crisp and melodious "jingling" sound, accompanied by the faint fragrance of double-petaled gardenia. The quiet embroidery room adds a lot of liveliness and vitality.

Behind the red sandalwood seat inlaid with jade and flowers on the screen, Ruan Yunting, who was dressed in a silk jacket skirt with bright yellow makeup and heavenly fragrance, leaned on the pillow, leisurely flipped through the "Vulgar Field History" in her hand, put the red beans on the fruit plate, and said: "Girl, tomorrow The next one is the exam, and the girls in each room are busy preparing, but you are not in a hurry."

Ruan Yunting shook her head with a smile, her voice was clear and soft, and she became more and more calm: "If you don't concentrate on weekdays, what's the use of working hard now? It's better to relax for a day, and you can deal with it easily tomorrow." Standing up gracefully, she straightened her long hair , asked casually: "Can you send the clam broth for the ancestors?"

Hongdou secretly praised her girl's demeanor, smiled and nodded.In fact, it's not just about cooking skills. The half-year training by Madam Cao has made the girl completely reborn: her eyes are bright and seductive, her red lips are lightly parted, and she is eager to speak.The innocence and introverted maturity of a young girl with cardamom are a strange fusion.Although charming, she is still elegant and dignified, and will never make people think that she is frivolous.The calm and noble spirit seems to be brought from the bottom of the body, and the pretty beauty that was unsheathed at the first sight has turned into a soft and comfortable spirit.

Ruan Yunting slowly sat down on the embroidered pier, "It's good to send it off. Did you girls go to say hello today?"

"Only twelve girls have gone."

"Then let's go and have a look." In order to prepare for tomorrow's exam, the old lady specially ordered that all customary etiquette be waived.But since some people deliberately behaved, I believe that several girls will go there soon.Wouldn't it be rude if she didn't go?

Hong Dou should be, before the dowry, she fixed up Ruan Yunting's makeup, and when the two went out, they saw Ruan Yunlan and her attendant Mei Bao coming towards them.

Ruan Yunting showed her face, and called softly: "Brother Lan."

Ruan Yunlan smiled back, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows made his lips red and his teeth white: "Sister, are you going to pay your respects to your ancestors?"

"Yeah, Brother Lan, what's the matter?"

Ruan Yunlan nodded, then said, "Let's go together."

Walking side by side, Ruan Yunting smiled and compared the heights of the two of them, and said, "Brother Lan seems to have grown taller again, and now I have reached your brow bone."

Ruan Yunlan straightened her back more and more, "Well, she has grown a little taller." Seeing no one around, she whispered, "'Guiyun Pavilion' will open tomorrow."

"So fast?!"

"Exactly, the son of the world is really fast in doing things."

Two months ago, when the old lady celebrated her birthday, she sent a plan, and since then she has been refusing to meet Han Su on the grounds of concentrating on preparing for the exam.Unexpectedly, with only a plan and some recipes, within two months, he could gather people to choose the location and prepare for Guiyun Pavilion.

The ability to do things cannot be underestimated!

"Can you rest assured now?" Ruan Yunlan gave her a look of reproach: "You don't have to worry about running out all the time. Now you don't pretend to be me anymore." After saying that, she straightened her back.

He looks like a child who is eager to grow up. Ruan Yunting laughed and hit him deliberately: "I heard from Miao's mother that men grow up in stature first, and they will not be tall in the future. You are only thirteen, what are you doing in a hurry to grow up?" high?"

Ruan Yunlan's smile froze, and she gave her another blank look.

When the two arrived at Pine Age Hall, they had just entered the door when they saw the third wife leave the main hall with red eyes.Xu Ningxia followed her with a face full of anger, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, we won't beg anyone. Watching our daughter fight for you, we will definitely not lose to the bastard raised there!"
