The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 26 Invitation from the Royal Family

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Ruan was caressing the plain brocade bag in his hands, staring at the brocade pattern on the brocade bag with a little absent-minded eyes, and kept thinking about those words of Princess Jingnan in his mind.

Seeing that Princess Jingnan mentioned Huo Xun's familiarity, it is not difficult to see that the relationship between the two is close. It is no wonder that Princess Jingnan calls her "the grandson of Mrs. Lu's family".The corners of Xiao Ruan's mouth curled up a little bit, if her father heard it, he might be so angry.He is not happy that his family overwhelmed him; but without the help of his family, how could he be able to sit firmly as the Minister of the Ministry of War!
Sarcasm flashed in Xiao Ruan's eyes, and she took the kit back, since it was an apology from that person, she accepted it.If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have been taken by Xiao Ying.

However, thinking of Princess Jingnan's appearance that watching a play is not a big deal, she rubbed her forehead with a headache.Then he thought about how it was such a coincidence that she just wanted to go out and ran into Princess Jingnan?Could it be that there is mental arithmetic without intention?
Shaking his head, Xiao Ruan stopped thinking about this possibility.Thinking about the post that Princess Jingnan said before leaving, wait a minute, what did she seem to keep forgetting?
Suddenly the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage, "Miss, we are here!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan slapped her forehead, she said she forgot something, didn't she go to find the orphan copy for her grandfather?

Lianqiao and Zhuyun looked over at this moment, "Miss, do you want to get off?"

Xiao Ruan raised the curtains and looked, it was back to the Xiao Mansion, and seeing that it was still early in the sky, she thought to herself that it would be better to find the lonely copy first, "Don't be busy, you forgot that we are going to Beishi today!"

Lian Qiao suddenly exclaimed, "Too bad, I haven't bought the gift from my grandfather yet!"

"No, let the coachman go again!" Xiao Ruan didn't know how many twists and turns she would cause with this turn, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't be able to avoid it!
By the time the three of them returned home, it was almost time for dinner.

"Miss, do you want to prepare a meal?"

Xiao Ruan held the two collections of poems of the former poet sages in her hand like precious treasures, and she waved to Lianqiao, "Don't be busy! Let me first..."

Before Xiao Ruan could finish speaking, someone came to pass the message, and the old lady asked the young lady to have dinner.

Helpless, Xiao Ruan had no choice but to reluctantly put the two albums in the box and head to her grandmother's yard.

When Xiao Ruan arrived, Mrs. Gu and Xiao Hong had already arrived.

Xiao Hong frowned subconsciously when he saw Xiao Ruan, "Let the elders wait for you, you are becoming more and more outrageous now!"

Xiao Ruan didn't pay any attention to her father, she had long since despaired of him, so she wouldn't have any expectations or harm, she just bowed to the old lady in a proper manner, and threw herself in front of the old lady as usual, delicate and crooked .

Being ignored by Xiao Ruan, Xiao Hong was even angrier. Just when he was about to get angry, the old lady at the head glared at him, and immediately silenced.Gu Shi twisted her handkerchief and tried to smooth things over, "Master, don't be like this, maybe something more important happened to the eldest lady!"

Xiao Ruan sneered at these words, and still used the same method: it seemed to be saying good things to her, but every word was piercing the heart of someone who cared.

More important things... She stayed at home all day, what could be more important than coming to see grandma and father for dinner?

Sure enough, when Xiao Hong heard it, his expression turned colder.

The old lady said at this time, "Okay, let's serve dinner!"

A few people ate and slept without saying a word, Xiao Ruan was too lazy to talk to Father Xiao, and kept her head down the whole time.

It wasn't until the dinner was finished and the servants brought tea that the old lady looked at Xiao Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, this is a birthday post sent by your grandfather some time ago! You happened to be in Xiangguo Temple at that time, so I will give it to you Put it away."

Gu's hands clenched unconsciously, hesitant to speak; but Xiao Ruan looked at the gold-plated invitation card in his hand, thinking a little far away, it should be like this in the previous life.

However, at that time, she ate with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes all the time, listening to Xiao Ying's coquettishness to Xiao Hong. Even if she received the invitation from her grandmother like today, she still couldn't help it because of Gu's words, "Missy is like this now." Wouldn't it be distressing if I let my family see it?" and handed the invitation to Gu's hands.

Just when Xiao Ruan was thinking about these things, Gu couldn't hold back, and said, "The matter of harboring villains is not over yet, if the eldest lady goes out, it will be bad!"

Xiao Ruan's eyes narrowed immediately, and the gloom in them seemed to be the cold light of a cold night, deep and dangerous.Gu!She hated the vicious thoughts under this kind of person's skin.Since you don’t go when the road is open to the sky, and you break in if there is no way to hell, then don’t blame me!
"Aunt Gu said that, but have you ever thought about the crime of slandering the master?" Xiao Ruan's voice was still sweet, but with an indescribable coldness, even the sound of Xiao Ruan knocking the tea cover on the tea cup They all looked very cold.

Not to mention that Aunt Gu's face turned red when she was reprimanded by her straightforward slave, even the old lady was stunned for a moment.After Xiao Hong was shocked that Xiao Ruan could say such rebellious words, he immediately became furious, "Xiao Ruan, you've gone against the sky!"

The old lady swept the teacup with a snap, "Is what Ruan Ruan said wrong? How can she interrupt the master's words!" She also understood the confrontation in the past two days. Since her granddaughter became strong, she naturally wanted to Help suppress Gu's arrogance.

Xiao Hong was dumbfounded immediately, but Gu Shi was not someone who could be slaughtered, sobbing, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

In the end, he stopped Xiao Hong and passed Xiao Hong up the steps, "Master, don't get into an argument with the old lady because of me! Old lady, the servant girl said that just now, and she just remembered that the young master of the Cheng family was there at that time. I'm afraid that if I slip up, it will ruin the eldest lady's innocence! It's the slave's stupid mouth, which annoyed the eldest lady instead!"

Xiao Hong's complexion improved a lot, and he also raised his head to look at the old lady, he thought to himself that it was Gu's carelessness and consideration.

However, Xiao Ruan and the old lady saw through Gu Shi, Xiao Ruan smiled lightly before opening her mouth.But I didn't want the old lady to give Gu Shi a cold look, and said majestically, "You don't need to worry about this. This is the second thing I want to say! Ruan Ruan, just now Princess Jingnan sent a spring banquet Post, I invite you to attend the roll call! Once this spring feast comes back, the rumors before coming here will be self-defeating!"

Xiao Ruan took the second invitation card with a calm expression, only then did he realize that the post that Princess Jingnan mentioned was for the Spring Banquet!

"Ruan Ruan, you haven't walked outside for a long time. Just take this opportunity to relax." The old lady looked at Xiao Ruan kindly, and she knew that her eldest granddaughter was blessed.

"Grandmother, Ruan Er understands." Xiao Ruan responded, knowing that the "outside" of grandma refers to the exchanges between the noble daughters of everyone.

As for Gu Shi, his face was pale with anger and red with jealousy, but he could only force a smile.Xiao Hong, on the other hand, was a little surprised that his eldest daughter was able to get the invitation from Princess Jingnan.

"Okay, I'm tired too, let's all go away!" Today she took action to suppress Zhen Gu's, but it could only stop here, after all, she also gave birth to Xiao Ying.

Several people dispersed separately, needless to say Xiao Ruan was in a good mood.

As for Mrs. Gu, she was not in that good mood.On the one hand, she secretly hated Xiao Ruan's good luck, and on the other hand, she was not worth it for her daughter!This spring banquet is not an ordinary family banquet for girls. If girls like Xiao Ruan and Xiao Ying who are about to reach the age of Ji attend the spring banquet, it is equivalent to telling the head of the house in Kyoto that there is a daughter in my family. It is worth youth, and you can come to ask for it.

Ladies and gentlemen usually don't leave the house at the second door. If it is not a special situation, a well-behaved family would disdain to spread any news about their daughter before they reach the age, for fear of ruining the boudoir's reputation.

But if nothing is really reported, by the time Jiji, the good family in Kyoto will have been picked out long ago, let alone the outside world will know that your family has a daughter who is suitable for marriage.

Therefore, it is natural to hold more such banquets before Jiji, so that the head mothers of each family would like to see them.

Among them, the spring banquet has always been hosted by the royal family, so it is a banquet that everyone looks forward to. Every year, people are proud to receive invitations to the spring banquet.

Gu's mind was out of control, and after being turned into a red wave with Xiao Hong, she hugged the quilt and faced the inside in silence.

Xiao Hong waited for a moment before realizing that something was wrong with Gu Shi. He wrapped his big hands around Gu Shi's willow waist in the quilt and kneaded it lightly, causing Gu Shi to turn around in an instant, and leaned lightly on Xiao Hong's waist. on the chest.

"What's the matter, what is this?" Xiao Hong closed his eyes and said lazily, but he enjoyed the smooth skin in his hand very much.

"Master, I just remembered what happened at the old lady's place at night!" Gu's voice was soft, with a slight melancholy and charming softness.

Xiao Hong paused, opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, "Don't bring up the matter of harboring villains in the future. The old lady is right, they are all from my own family, and there is no reason to dismantle my own people."

Mrs. Gu was taken aback, and turned to infinite grievances, "Master, do you also think that this concubine wants to accuse the young lady? The concubine is only thinking of the young lady! The concubine is stupid and outspoken. It has ruined the young lady's reputation."

Xiao Hong looked at the appearance of pear blossoms with rain under Gu's lamp, and his heart softened, "Of course I know you, and you have no reason to do this, otherwise if Ruan'er has a solid reputation of harboring villains, Yu Yinger is also bad."

Gu Shi didn't take it seriously in her heart, as long as Xiao Ruan's innocence was ruined, she would naturally have a way to keep Ying'er from being implicated, but it's a pity...

However, thinking of more important things, Gu frowned and agreed, "No! How could I do such a short-sighted thing! To be selfish, no mother in the world would do such a stupid thing. But, but, now I offend After losing the old lady and the eldest lady, I am afraid that Yinger will be hated by the old lady and the eldest lady in the future, what should I do?"

Xiao Hong patted Gu Shi's beautiful back lightly. What he loves the most is Gu Shi's innocence for decades, as if she was the girl she met for the first time, who would rely on him and act like a spoiled child, and would pour out her infinite sorrows to him listen.

At this time, the warm and soft jade was in his arms, Xiao Hong recalled the past again, and his heart was full of tenderness, "You don't have to worry, let's not say that the old lady is not such a petty person. It is Ruan'er, can you really treat her sister? Get angry!"
