Chapter 11 Surprised, the old lady actually has such a hobby!

Min: "..."

No need to ask, I know what Nan Nan likes.

Likes money and gold.

This hobby is a bit...pragmatic.

It happened that there was a pair of golden pony paperweights in Min's storehouse, so she asked Zangchun to get them and put them in a box.

Jian Ruonan knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night. Actually, it was not a whole night. She could sleep while kneeling, but it was not very comfortable.

But for Jian Ruonan, who can sleep anywhere, it is enough.

In the morning, she was taken back to Xixiayuan by Min. She was drowsy and suddenly a box was stuffed in her arms.

Jian Zhang was very efficient in his work. He found out almost everything about Zhou's child-changing incident in one night.

After confirming that Jian Ruonan was indeed her biological daughter, Min not only gave her a pair of pure gold ponies, but also a gold collar weighing seven or eight taels.

Jian Ruonan: ! !

[My dear mother! ! ! She is really beautiful and kind-hearted! ! ! ]

[Wang Defa, worshipping ancestors is really useful! ! ! ]

She will go to worship next time she has the chance.

Min: ? ?

Who is Wang Defa?

It sounds like a young man's name. Could it be the young man that Nan Nan likes? I need to find out in advance.

Min knows that it is not easy for women. She hopes that her two daughters can get along well with their husbands after they get married. She will respect her daughters' opinions on marriage.

Thinking of this, Min began to worry about Xilu's marriage again.

Jian Xilu is sixteen years old this year. Min's intention is to keep her until she is eighteen before getting married. At the end of last month, they just exchanged the engagement letter with Ding Guogong. The engagement letter was sent to Qin Tianjian to match the horoscopes. In two days, the horoscopes will be almost matched.

This horoscope matching is just a process. Generally, if both parties are satisfied, the horoscopes matched by Qin Tianjian are auspicious signs such as "a match made in heaven".

If you want to regret the engagement, you must bribe the officials of Qin Tianjian before the horoscopes are matched, and say that the horoscopes of the two people are not compatible and it is not easy to get married. This matter will end here. Otherwise, if you regret it after the marriage is over, Xilu will be known as a person whose engagement was cancelled, and it will be difficult to find a good marriage.

Therefore, today, Min decided to take Jian Ruonan to visit the home of Duke Ping. Jian Zhang also began to secretly investigate whether Gao Yang had three concubines.

Jian Ruonan took a nap in the green gauze closet in Xixiayuan. As soon as she turned over, a maid was waiting outside the door with toiletries.

Zang Chun asked kindly, "Fifth Miss, are you getting up?"

Jian Ruonan yawned, and when she thought about being a lady in the marquis's mansion, surrounded by servants, with clothes and food provided for her, she almost laughed out loud.

It's so nice not to have to work overtime. Let's sleep a little longer.

Jian Ruonan waved her hand, let Zang Chun go out, turned over and faced the inner room, covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep again.

Zang Chun: "......"

Every morning, Min had to go to Xishouyuan to pay respects to Shi and serve her breakfast. Today, Shi didn't know what was wrong with her, and she made Min stand in the corridor for more than half an hour. When Min came back, she saw a row of maids standing at the door. She asked in a low voice: "Are you still sleeping?"

Zang Chun nodded, covered her mouth and laughed, "I called her several times, but she just didn't

get up." Min smiled helplessly, thinking that her little daughter must have been too serious about asking for money last night and was really tired.

It's not good to eat at the old lady's place. Usually, when Min comes back, she has to eat some bird's nest porridge, snacks, etc. to fill her stomach.

Min had just put the snacks on the table when she saw the person in the quilt squirming.

Min opened the bird's nest porridge, and the delicious aroma spread. A furry head emerged from the quilt.

Then, Min heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

The maids couldn't help but laugh.

"I left the breakfast for you. If you want to sleep, just sleep for a while." Min said with a smile.

Jian Ruonan was almost done sleeping, and sat up with a chicken nest on her head, which made a group of little maids laugh again.

Seeing that the fifth lady finally got up, a little maid immediately held a blue and white Ru kiln tea cup, "Fifth lady, moisten your throat."

Jian Ruonan took it, opened the tea lid, and a floral fragrance came to her face. The blue and white Ru kiln tea cup was filled with the best floral dew, which was refreshing and pleasant. After drinking a cup, every pore of the body was moisturized.

After drinking a cup of flower dew, a maid immediately brought a hot towel. Jian Ruonan wiped her hands and face, and changed into a light green smoke-sha skirt under the help of the maid. Another maid took a wooden comb to comb her hair.

In ancient times, girls had simple buns. After combing her hair, the maid picked up a bottle of osmanthus oil on the dressing table, poured it into her palm, and rubbed it, and then applied it on Jian Ruonan's head.

Jian Ruonan leaned back to avoid the maid and asked, "What is this?"

The maid said, "Miss Fifth, this is osmanthus oil, apply it to your hair."

Jian Ruonan didn't like to put anything on her head, a clean scalp was the best: "I don't want this."

After washing up, Min personally tied two purses for her: "One purse contains a sachet, and the other purse contains some change, which can be used to reward maids and the like."

"You just came back from the manor. Do you want to continue living with mother, or live in a yard alone?"

Jian Ruonan thought for a while, "Live with mother for two months first, and then live alone after you are familiar with it."

Min smiled and said, "That's perfect. Nan Nan, if you don't understand anything, just ask mother."

Jian Ruonan smiled and agreed.

[My dear mother, she is really gentle, beautiful and gentle, just like a fairy descending to the earth! ]

[This is life! 】

After drinking the bird's nest porridge, Min wanted to take Jian Ruonan and Jian Xilu to visit the Duke of Ping's mansion. Before leaving, Jian Ruonan went to the old lady's courtyard to pay her respects. Daxia

attaches great importance to filial piety, and such greetings will be paid every day in the future.

"Don't be too nervous when you meet the old lady later, just answer whatever she asks." Old lady Shi never had a good face to the women in the first house, and usually it was just a matter of face.

Min and Jian Xilu were not close to the old lady.

Jian Ruonan's visit was just a formality.

~

In the Xishou Courtyard, Old Lady Shi was listening to the old woman's laughter.

"That Fifth Miss is just a country bumpkin, she has never even seen hair oil. In the morning, when the maid was combing her hair, she asked what osmanthus oil was..."

Shi smiled and said, "She was brought back when she was ten years old. With her vulgar personality, I don't know if she can get married."

...

Jane Ruonan walked while asking the system to tell her gossip: [System, can you tell me some gossip about the old lady? ]

System: [Okay. ]

[The old lady is chatting with the maid about your gossip? ]

Jane Ruonan: [What gossip do I have? ]

System: [She said you are unsophisticated and don't know about hair oil, and she also said you can't get married. ]

Jane Ruonan: [Can't get married? ]

System: [Yeah. ]

Jane Ruonan sighed sincerely: [Not getting married is a good thing! ]

[The old lady is quite nice. ]

System: "..."

System: [Shouldn't your focus be on who spread this news? 】

Jian Ruonan:【Who spread it? Did the old lady also spy in my mother's room?】

System:【A maid named Wen Xue.】

Jian Ruonan:【Oh, ​​I'll ask that girl to come over later and find an excuse to send her away.】

~

Xishouyuan is the largest courtyard in the entire Marquis's mansion. After passing through the corridor, around the big screen, through the three halls, and past the front yard, you will reach the upper room.

Shi was sitting on the huanghuali Luohan chair, and Jian Ruonan went forward and saluted.

"Good child, you have suffered a lot, come here to let your grandmother see." The old lady wore a vermilion cloud pattern jacket, a set of golden headdress, and a gold and jade bead on her forehead.

The old lady was in her fifties, but because she took good care of herself, she looked about forty years old. Because she was a little fat, she was a little breathless when she spoke.

Although Shi didn't like the eldest wife's family, she still did a good job on the surface, showing the appearance of a loving grandmother.

Jian Ruonan walked over slowly, and Shi reached out to pull her. Just as she was about to pull her hand, suddenly, a familiar mechanical sound rang out -

[Ding——]

[The old lady has

foot odor. ] [The old lady likes to pick her toes. ]

Jian Ruonan, who was originally a weak and fragile girl, suddenly jumped up and bounced away, as agile as a frightened cat.

[Oh my god, foot odor is a fungal infection that can be transmitted to people! ]

[Fortunately, we didn't shake hands. It was a close call. I almost got infected! ]

[Who would have thought that an amiable grandmother was actually an old lady who picked her toes in private! And she has foot odor! 】

Min: "......"Jian

Xilu: "......"
