Chapter 44 Release the news
Zhuyun also brought back a piece of news to Xiao Ruan when she came back from the toothmaid, "Master seems to be commented by his colleagues as 'I can't keep the family together, but I want to govern the country' because of the excitement about this matter outside. livid."

It wasn't that his face was livid, Xiao Ruan laughed mockingly, it was her fault, "In just half a day, there was a lot of rumors, either his servants were not strict with their tongues or he offended someone outside. Tsk, but he offended someone In my previous life, I was afraid that I would be rewarded with endless blessings, marrying such a monster."

The girls around were all silent, not daring to answer.

Xiao Ruan didn't care too much, "You did a good job in this matter, and report to me if you notice anything in the future. I have already rewarded you this time, so I won't give you another reward. I will save it for the next time and reward you together."

"Miss Xie." Zhu Yun's face was filled with joy.

Xiao Ruan glanced at the maidservants big and small around her, her tone was still the same, but her eyes became a little fierce, "Here, as long as you do well, you will naturally be rewarded; but once you betray the master, I will not punish you." Will be soft."

The servants responded, and there was nothing to say all night.

The next day, the Lu family suddenly began to deliver things to Xiao Ruan one after another. At first, it was puffer fish sent by my grandfather.

This puffer fish Xiao Ruan naturally knows, in the eyes of famous officials in Kyoto, eating puffer fish is actually a fashion.There is a poem that says, "Di buds grow on the spring island, and flowers fly on the spring bank. At this time, puffer fish are more expensive than fish and shrimp."

And her grandfather would organize or participate in several puffer fish feasts every year, but she never thought that his grandfather would bring them to her.

There should be less puffer fish at this time of year, but someone told her that these puffer fish have been detoxified and should be eaten fresh.But Xiao's mansion is not a master of pufferfish, just as he was thinking, a cook was sent over.

It was only then that Xiao Ruan understood that the key point was in the latter part. It turned out that her grandfather was using puffer fish to send her a cook.Also, as a prostitute, her Qingwei Pavilion has a small kitchen, but it has been left unused, so it should be cleaned out.

Xiao Ruan took a closer look at the pufferfish, and told Zhuyun, "Go, give some to every yard." Turning his head, he looked at the well-dressed old woman, "Since my grandfather sent you, I think you can make pufferfish. "

The old woman bowed to Xiao Ruan without humility, "The old slave's surname is Liu, miss can call the old slave Miss Liu. The old slave traveled all over the country with his master in the early years, and he can order cuisines from all over the place."

This is not easy, Xiao Ruan said with interest, "The puffer fish at home will bother Mrs. Liu today, and follow me to see grandma in the evening."

Mrs. Liu should go out.

Since the puffer fish was delivered, there is no reason to eat it alone.Let Mrs. Liu cook together, but no one in the Xiao family can cook this puffer fish.Who would have thought that Gu's face was so embarrassing that he gave Xiao Hong something from her as a favor, and wanted to entertain a few colleagues.

Xiao Ruan was so disgusted by these two people that she wanted to go out with her, but was stopped by someone, "Sister!"

Xiao Ruan turned to look at her, this was the first time they met since the last spring feast.

Xiao Ying was wearing a light pink skirt, with a white jade hairpin on her temples, her face was exquisite, obviously well dressed.In all fairness, Xiao Ying's appearance is not vulgar, and she has completely inherited Gu's beauty, otherwise how could she have bewitched others to do things for her in her previous life.

At this time, she raised her chin slightly, with a girlish innocence, "Sister, are you going to greet the main room?"

Xiao Ruan glanced at her, "If you don't go to Ding Xing, where else can you go? But you, why are you running to me at this hour?"

"I'm just here to inform Eldest Sister that I don't need to go to the main courtyard. Daddy returns home early today, just to entertain a few colleagues. It's all thanks to the puffer fish sent by Eldest Sister." Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ruan proudly, as if to see to her annoyance.

How could Xiao Ruan not know what she meant, ever since the two of them tore their faces apart, Xiao Ying always acted like this, never with a purpose, "Looking at my sister like this, I think I saw someone, is that Young Master Cheng or King Huai?" What? Isn't there someone else?"

Xiao Ying turned her head for a while, and then realized that Xiao Ruan was mocking her for attracting bees and butterflies.

Her exquisite little face was distorted for a moment, and she returned to her ignorant appearance in an instant, "Look at what the elder sister said, how do I know who my father is going to invite to the banquet. But my father asked me to ask the elder sister if that Mrs. Liu can Borrow the big kitchen for use? Anyway, we are all our own people, if it is beneficial to father, eldest sister will not refuse?"

Xiao Ruan hated Xiao Ying's natural appearance the most. She tilted her head and sneered, "Why don't you invite me to my grandfather's house together? Anyway, everything from the ingredients to the cook came from my grandfather. As a colleague of my father, Presumably, he is also a colleague of my grandfather, so at the wine table, my grandfather can have a good chat with those colleagues."

Xiao Ying almost couldn't hold back her face, "Look at what my sister said, isn't it that you don't want your father to do well? In the affairs of the court, there is always a need to socialize, and the convenience of others is the convenience of oneself."

"Really?" Xiao Ruan raised his eyebrows, "This puffer fish is such a rare thing, grandpa sent it here, isn't it just wishing for father's good, and making it convenient for father? It's you, saying that these things come and go, is it a concession Everyone knows that my father took advantage of my grandfather, but he didn't give anything back? If those colleagues know this, I'm afraid that even this puffer fish feast will not be enjoyable."

Xiao Ying's face turned pale after Xiao Ruan's series of smashing, and just about to refute, Xiao Ruan said slowly, "Besides, I donated puffer fish, and I have already paved the way for my father's official career, but you can't do anything." If you don’t do it, why don’t you go and cook this meal for your father, so as to promote the reputation of a filial daughter and complete the father-daughter relationship.”

But Xiao Ying didn't have any culinary skills, but Xiao Ruan's words made Xiao Ying's eyes shine, "I understand what my sister means, and I will convey it to my father for you."

Xiao Ruan didn't know what Xiao Ying meant, but even if she provoked her, it didn't matter, she wasn't afraid at all.

"Okay, let's go, lest your Mr. Cheng or Duke Huai leave." Xiao Ruan waved his hand, impatiently taking care of her.

Xiao Ying's face turned red with anger, and when she turned to leave, she saw a white figure, she paused for a moment, and then immediately left like a butterfly.

Xiao Ruan hugged the little milk dog who just woke up from the nest, "Come on, Tuantuan." She didn't give the name Tuantuan, but she flipped and wrote a few balls of paper randomly, and the little thing pounced on it. Such a name.

However, it's okay, this fleshy ball is really cute.

Xiao Ruan groomed the tuantuan in her arms, then turned to Zhuyun and said, "Find a few people, spread out Mr. Xiao's elegance and charm, and have a puffer fish feast for colleagues at home."

In the past, Xiao Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was not good enough for military affairs, and he was not up to the level of a puffer fish banquet, but the military officer did not accept such a cheap face like him, so his situation was actually very embarrassing.

It's no wonder that he eats so ugly, borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and is so righteous.

"Today's puffer fish feast, if I guess correctly, Duke Huai should be there too, and you can send someone to find out." If Duke Huai hadn't arrived, Xiao Ying would not have dressed up like this, let alone Xiao Hong. How could such a person who would not let go of a bit of power to cling to him give up his relationship with Duke Huai.

She just said that she forgot something, that day when the spring banquet was over, Xiao Hongming was very eager when she talked about Duke Huai in Rong'an Hall, but she hadn't heard any news in the past few days, so she was waiting here, but She was too busy these days to forget about this.

However, it's not too late, "Wait until the news of the previous praise becomes popular, and then release the news that Mr. Xiao borrowed his daughter puffer fish to entertain Duke Huai, intending to marry his daughter into the palace..."

"Miss? You..." Zhuyun was shocked.

Xiao Ruan pursed her lips, and finished the second half of the sentence, "It is not possible to marry a first daughter, and the second daughter attended the banquet many times, and even washed her hands to make soup, and entered the palace regardless of her status."

Only then did Zhuyun seem relieved, she looked at Xiao Ruan suspiciously, "How does Miss know that Second Miss will definitely cook for herself."

"Your second lady doesn't know how to cook, but when the time comes, I will definitely use my refusal to lend Madam Liu as a son, and then show her filial piety. Let's watch a good show." Xiao Ruan has a good understanding of Xiao Ying's nature. Shen, not to mention, Xiao Ying's eyes at that time said everything.

In the evening, Zhuyun really found out that there was a noble son at the banquet, and the other two were dominated by him.

Xiao Ruan slid into the brocade quilt with a satisfied smile. This time the matter was handed over to Zhu Yun, and it was also a test for her. After all...

Xiao Ruan closed her eyes, just about to have a good dream, but in the half-dream and half-awake, she heard a few knocks on the window, Xiao Ruan suddenly woke up, holding the brocade quilt, she rushed outside and shouted, "Linglong Linglong..."

However, Xiao Ruan's heart skipped a beat when she didn't hear Linglong's response after several calls.It stands to reason that night watchmen generally don't allow themselves to fall asleep, not to mention Linglong is always alert to her night watch.

Before she could take any action, the outsiders seemed to be impatient, Xiao Ruan widened her eyes, and saw the hasp of the window being pried open by a dagger in the next instant.

Xiao Ruan's hand touched the porcelain pillow at the head of the bed, and a thin layer of sweat gradually broke out.Suddenly, the moonlight came in from the window, illuminating the facial features of the person outside the window clearly.

Xiao Ruan saw clearly the pair of black eyes under the sharp sword eyebrows, but her hands trembled, and she almost threw the porcelain pillow over.

The man jumped into the air and came in from the window, "Ruan Ruan, it's me."

Yeah, I know it's you, but who the hell knows what you're up here in the middle of the night for?
Xiao Ruan took a deep breath and calmed down, "I know, Big Brother Huo, what are you?" The next moment, the man who was still by the window moved up to the window one by one, with her back to the window, blocking most of the moonlight , also trapped himself in darkness.

Xiao Ruan took a deep breath, Huo Xun seemed to know that she was oppressed, he took a step back, let out a little moonlight, and said with some hesitation, "I, I came to ask you which little breast milk you received. Is there a dog?"

What?Xiao Ruan's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, "So, that's why you came here?"
