Zuixin Pavilion.
Yin Xiaorou sat in the middle of the pavilion frustrated.
She has made inquiries in the past few days. If she wants to get close to Mrs. Huiguo, the recent Autumn Appreciation Banquet is the best opportunity. As long as she can successfully enter the banquet, her plan will be more than half successful.
But unfortunately, not everyone can go to the banquet, and an invitation is required.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to touch the threshold.
"well……"
She sighed, calmed down her emotions, stood up and was about to return to Qianyan Pavilion, when she saw a maid walking towards her.
What the maid held in her hand was something like an invitation.
If you look carefully, you will see that it is stamped with Mrs. Yun Guo’s seal!
Seeing the stamp, Yin Xiaorou's heart was pounding, and a strong surprise burst out from the bottom of her heart, making her almost unable to restrain her expression.
Waiting for the maid to leave, she immediately returned to Longyan Pavilion, closed the door and window, and immediately pulled Wen Yu and said excitedly: "There is hope, there is hope, we will be able to restore our identities soon!"
"Really?!"
Yin Wenyu looked happy and quickly asked what was going on.
After he understood what was going on, he frowned, "But that's Mrs. Ruan's invitation. Why would he take us?"
"I have a solution."
Yin Xiaorou said very confidently.
After this period of getting along, she felt that she had figured out Ruan Yunluo's character - she was just a virtuous and old-fashioned stupid woman.
It can be seen from the incident of giving the bracelet that Xiao Qintang was already very angry at the beginning, but she was still adding fuel to the fire, as if she was afraid of not starting a quarrel.
Did she think that was showing enthusiasm? madness!
That will only make things worse!
Thinking of Xiao Qintang's current attitude towards her nose, which is neither a nose nor a face, Yin Xiaorou sighed. Forget it, Xiao Qintang will get married sooner or later anyway, so there is no need to be familiar with her.
As for Ruan Yunluo...since she is willing to show enthusiasm and virtuousness, she will definitely be willing to invite guests to the autumn appreciation banquet...
So Yin Xiaorou patiently waited.
But after waiting for three days, she never got Ruan Yunluo's invitation.
Finally, she couldn't sit still anymore and came to Sui Feng Garden with a half-embroidered handkerchief. Just as she was about to go in, she happened to hear voices coming from inside.
It was Xiao Chongjing's voice.
He seemed a little angry standing in front of Ruan Yunluo, "I don't care if he likes it or not, he must go to this autumn feast!"
Ruan Yunluo, whose brows were as gentle as brocade, was sitting in a recliner reading a book. Hearing this, he smiled and said lightly: "Since the general said so, let the second brother take leave and come back. I have no objection."
Xiao Chongjing choked.
Seeing Ruan Yunluo's casual attitude, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. What he was discussing with her now was his brother's lifelong event. How could she be so indifferent? !
She was obviously not like this before...
"Is there anything else?" Seeing Xiao Chongjing frozen on the spot, Ruan Yunluo frowned slightly, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes. She slightly raised the ancient book in her hand and said, "You are blocking the light."
Xiao Chongjing's face darkened.
His eyes paused at the side of Ruan Yunluo's face, where he was reading a book seriously. He hummed, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Ruan Yunluo didn't even look at him, and asked Nanny Wan to light incense beside her and continue reading her book.
"Madam, Miss Xiaorou did come just now, but she stood outside for a while and did not come in. And as soon as the general went out, she immediately avoided it." Aunt Wan lit the incense and poured it in Ruan Yunluo's hand. A cup of tea with some dried fruit. After finishing everything, she looked at Ruan Yunluo worriedly, "Madam, there is something wrong with that girl Rou."
"No problem."
Ruan Yunluo patted the back of Nanny Wan's hand and comforted her: "I know what's going on."
So when Xiao Qinyu came over in the evening and asked to participate in the autumn appreciation banquet, she asked directly, "Are you alone?"
"of course not."
Xiao Qinyu was very happy that his sister-in-law was so considerate. He said bluntly: "Miss Rou is also here. She doesn't have many friends in the capital, and it's rare to have a chance to have fun."
"no."
Ruan Yunluo refused.
She gave Xiao Qinyu a choice, "You can go if you want, but you can only go by yourself and you can't take her with you."
"Why not?!" Xiao Qinyu became anxious when he thought that he had promised Yin Xiaorou so happily just now, but now he couldn't do it. He didn't want to break his promise in front of the person he liked, and he didn't want to let the person he liked down, so he said unscrupulously: "Sister-in-law, don't you look down on her and feel that she is of low status and disdain her?"
"Second Master!" Aunt Wan said in a solemn tone, "Madam is not the kind of person you think."
"I don't want my sister-in-law to be that kind of person, but that's the fact. Otherwise, what's the reason not to let Miss Rou attend the banquet?"
Xiao Qinyu held his neck and confronted Ruan Yunluo.
"There is no reason. Since you want to go on a blind date in front of Miss Xiaorou, then you can take her there, I won't stop you."
Ruan Yunluo said calmly with an indifferent attitude.
But Xiao Qinyu was stunned for a moment.
He thought carefully about Ruan Yunluo's words and was suddenly shocked, "You want to give me a blind date at the banquet?!"
"It's the general." Aunt Wan couldn't bear to see him push everything on Ruan Yunluo, and couldn't help but cry out for her wife, "The general got the old lady's letter, saying that she found someone in Puyu Mountain to settle the matter, and you must get married this year. , otherwise there will be a bloody disaster in the future..."
"That's nonsense!" Xiao Qin was holding his breath, and his voice became louder and louder, "What kind of bloody disaster, those old nuns are probably fooling her again!"
He looked at Ruan Yunluo again and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, do you also believe these nonsense?!"
"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, as long as your mother believes it."
Ruan Yunluo said nothing about this.
In the eyes of their family, no matter how much she sacrifices, she will always be an outsider. In this case, as an outsider, she is only responsible for fanning the flames, and let them do the thankless things.
She looked at Xiao Qinyu and said calmly: "I've told you what the facts are. You decide whether to go or not. I won't interfere."
"Sister-in-law, how can you ignore such an outrageous thing? You are the mistress of the General's Mansion!"
Xiao Qinyu looked anxious.
He had already promised Yin Xiaorou, and he didn't want to break his promise in front of the person he liked, let alone go on a blind date. He could only hope that Ruan Yunluo could help him.
But Ruan Yunluo just smiled coldly and said, "Second brother, please go back. I can't care about your affairs. If you have any objections, you can go to the study to see your elder brother."
"I did not mean that……"
Xiao Qinyu heard the thorn in Ruan Yunluo's words, and his handsome face turned red with shame. He wanted to explain but couldn't keep his face, so he could only walk away in frustration.
At the gate of Suifeng Garden, Yin Xiaorou's heart sank when she saw his appearance, "How about it? She doesn't agree?"
Xiao Qinyu shook his head, "No..."
Yin Xiaorou was confused, "Then she agreed?"
Xiao Qinyu shook his head again, "No..."
"Do you have to go to that banquet?" Xiao Qinyu paused and tentatively suggested to her, "How about I take you to other places? There are many fun places in the capital..."
"Just wait, I'll go find my brother and try."
When Xiao Qinyu saw that Yin Xiaorou was not tempted, he was ready to go directly to his elder brother to stop him from going on a blind date.
"No!" Yin Xiaorou quickly pulled him to stop him, "Don't look for him!"
