"Brother Xiao!"
In Zuixue Pavilion, Yin Xiaorou waited for a long time before finally waiting for Xiao Chongjing's figure.
Just as she was about to come forward to talk with a look of surprise on her face, Xiao Chongjing suddenly thought of Xiao Qinyu and the calligraphy he left in the imperial study room today...
He paused and for the first time did not respond to Yin Xiaorou's enthusiasm. He only looked at her deeply and left in a hurry.
Xiao Chongjing's original intention was that long-term pain was not as good as short-term pain. But in Yin Xiaorou's eyes, his actions took a different shape. Yin Xiaorou felt that Xiao Chongjing might have changed his mind...
"Taking a concubine?" Just when Yin Xiaorou was looking at Xiao Chongjing's back with red eyes and was about to burst into tears, she suddenly heard Nanny Wan's voice. Aunt Wan was looking at Ruan Yunluo with wide eyes and surprise, "Madam, do you really want to take a concubine for the general?"
"Can this be false?"
Ruan Yunluo walked to the pavilion and sat down, glanced at the skirt floating out from behind the pillar, and said helplessly to Aunt Wan: "You also know that the general and I have no heirs, and it is not an option to continue like this. Instead of this, If you want to step into someone else's family, you might as well just take a concubine. When the time comes, it will be the same if you hold it next to me and raise it."
"That's what Madam said." Seeing that Ruan Yunluo had already made plans, Aunt Wan immediately said, "Then I'll tell Ya Po to pay attention?"
"No need." Ruan Yunluo smiled, "There are so many maids in the house, let's be careful. If anyone has any ideas in this regard, I will make it happen."
"yes."
Aunt Wan agreed with a smile.
Ruan Yunluo asked her to sit down, and the two of them drank tea while admiring the lake view in Zuixue Pavilion. It was so comfortable.
But Yin Xiaorou was hiding behind the pillar, but she was filled with sadness.
She was already sad enough because of Xiao Chongjing's attitude just now, but now that she heard Ruan Yunluo's words, she wanted to rush forward and tear her mouth open. She is at a critical moment now, how could she, how could she...
"Is there someone behind the pillar?" Just when Yin Xiaorou was immersed in anger, Ruan Yunluo suddenly pointed out her location off guard, "Look at these clothes...could it be Miss Xiaorou? Why don't you come over? Hidden behind the pillar to do it What?"
"Yes, it's me." Yin Xiaorou panicked and walked out from behind the pillar with a smile.
She collected herself and bowed to Ruan Yunluo before saying, "I saw that Madam and Nanny seemed to have something to talk about. I was afraid of disturbing them, so I wanted to leave quietly by myself, but I didn't expect that I still alerted Madam... Please forgive me, madam."
"What's not sinful?"
Ruan Yunluo smiled and spared Yin Xiaorou's gift.
The two chatted for a while, and she seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at Yin Xiaorou with a smile and asked her: "On the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, there will be a lively lantern festival in the capital. The second brother and the third sister are going, so you also go together."
"Yeah?"
Yin Xiaorou agreed with a smile, but felt sad in her heart.
She has gone out twice since she came to the capital, and both times she made a big mistake. Who knows what will happen if we go out again this time? What if someone from Hua Weiwei or Mrs. Huiguo’s house recognizes her?
Just when she was worried and about to refuse, suddenly, she thought of Xiao Chongjing.
Wringing the handkerchief unconsciously, she looked at Ruan Yunluo curiously and asked tentatively: "Is everyone going?"
"Of course not. Just bring a few personal maids with you, and the rest will stay at home."
"I'm not talking about the maid, but..." Yin Xiaorou was a little anxious and almost spilled the beans, "Yes, it's you. Will you and General Xiao also go?"
"The general won't go. He never likes places like that." Ruan Yunluo laughed. Soon, as expected, she received the answer "I still won't go" from Yin Xiaorou.
Sui Feng Garden.
Xiao Qinyu waited anxiously for a long time, and finally waited for Ruan Yunluo to come back.
"How's it going?" He rushed forward excitedly, eagerly waiting for Ruan Yunluo's answer.
Ruan Yunluo sighed and looked at Aunt Wan. Aunt Wan shook her head helplessly, "Miss Xiaorou said she was not feeling well and was unwilling to go out. When the time comes, it would be enough to let Wen Yu go out for some fresh air."
"What?!" Xiao Qinyu felt like he was struck by lightning.
He was waiting alone in Sui Feng Garden just now, and he already wanted to name his and Yin Xiaorou's children, but now he found that he didn't even have a chance to express his feelings, and he immediately withered.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Yunluo smiled at his dejected look and encouraged him: "As the saying goes, a man will stand up wherever he falls. You haven't fallen yet, so why are you like this?"
"Why are you standing?" Xiao Qinyu said with a bitter face, "She refuses to go out, what can I do?"
"If the mountains don't come to you, you can't go to the mountains?" Ruan Yunluo reminded with a smile, "It's a big holiday, how lonely will Miss Xiao Rou be if she stays alone in the house? If you can come back to accompany her then, She must be very happy."
"Yes!" Xiao Qinyu's eyes lit up.
Since Miss Xiaorou doesn't want to go out, wouldn't it be nice if he came back to accompany her?
When he comes back with lanterns, she will be very happy and touched!
"Sister-in-law, you are such a genius!" Xiao Qinyu excitedly grabbed Ruan Yunluo's sleeve and shook it twice, and said with excitement on his face: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely toast you on the day we get married!"
"Yeah, definitely."
Ruan Yunluo replied with a smile.
Xiao Qinyu, I hope you can still maintain your current optimism after the Double Ninth Festival.
Finally, it’s Double Ninth Festival.
As soon as it got dark, the lanterns at the entrance of the General's Mansion were already lit, and the carriages and horses were ready to go.
"Sister, you really don't want to go together?" Yin Wenyu stood in front of his carriage, reluctantly pulling on his sister's sleeve, wanting her to come too.
"I'm not feeling well and don't want to go." Yin Xiaorou rubbed her brother's head, quietly stuffed some broken coins into his hand, and told him, "Have fun yourself, and don't run around. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry." Xiao Qinyu, who had been pricking his ears next to him, came over at this time. He put his arm around Yin Wenyu's shoulders and expressed his loyalty to his sweetheart with a smile, "With me, I guarantee that I won't lose him."
"Thanks."
Yin Xiaorou smiled and felt relieved when she heard what he said.
Under the red lanterns, in the long official alley. Xiao Qinyu felt so sweet when his sweetheart looked at him with a smile.
Just when he was so happy and wanted to say a few more words, Xiao Qintang suddenly snorted coldly and walked out of the general's residence very disappointed.
"Pretending!"
She glanced at Yin Xiaorou coolly and said to the old housekeeper next to her: "Uncle Cui, please be careful when you stay at home. Don't be confused. Some people like to worry about other people's things. Don't let others take away your home when the time comes. He stole it, but he still had to help her count the money!"
