Chapter 371 Fifth sister, do you still remember your mission?
Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash.
Although it is early summer, the scorching sun at noon has become somewhat fierce.
A row of new maids stood at the door of Luming Courtyard. The maids who were due to get married were released one after another, and some became wives of marquisates. Today, the only familiar face left in the whole Luming Courtyard is Mrs. Chen.
The new maid didn't know the temperament of the fifth lady, and she was also jumpy, so she looked into the main house from time to time.
Suddenly, she saw the fifth lady turned over, and the little maid was happy, thinking that the lady was finally going to get up.
As a result, the fifth lady just turned over, changed direction, and fell asleep again.
Mrs. Chen looked at the sun and said, "You guys go down and have a rest first. Tell the kitchen to cook in half an hour."
The maids all retreated.
Half an hour later, Jian Ruonan stretched on the bed and finally woke up.
The maids from Luming Garden came in with toiletries. As soon as they entered the main house, they shuddered as if they had entered a cold storage.
The fifth lady was afraid of heat, so she filled the house with ice at first. As a rule, the mistress and the old lady had two basins of ice a day.
The fifth lady's room was filled with eighteen basins of ice, and a passage was left for entry and exit, while other places were filled with ice.
If you don't know, you might think the fifth lady was a polar bear spirit.
The fifth lady said that in summer, the air conditioner should be turned to the lowest setting and sleeping wrapped in a quilt is comfortable.
After Jian Ruonan finished washing up, the dishes in the small kitchen were also cooked. The maids took away the wash basins and served the freshly cooked dishes to the table.
Min came to Luming Garden with Xuan Xiaowu, holding a little girl about three years old.
Before entering the main house, Min put an outer robe on the little girl in her arms and put on a thin jacket for herself.
Although she was well prepared, she was also soaked by the cold air in the house after entering the main house.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Jian Ruonan put down her bowl and chopsticks, and a maid immediately brought her water for her to rinse her mouth.
The little girl in Min's arms saw Jian Ruonan, and her chubby little face smiled like a little apple: "Aunt, hug me."
Jian Ruonan took the little girl and kissed her little face, "What is our An Jie'er doing recently?"
The little girl said crisply: "I recently wrote a new poem, An Jie'er wrote it for Auntie."
"Clouds are paired with rain, snow is paired with wind, and the courtyard of Fifth Aunt is Guanghan Palace. Jinyang Marquis's Mansion has just entered summer, and Fifth Aunt's place has entered winter. The maids are like pines in the snow!"
The little girl is An Jie'er, the eldest daughter of the eldest brother Jian Huayuan. Pei Shaoyi married into Jinyang Marquis's Mansion and recited poems with Jian Huayuan every day. The two love brains are very well matched.
Now, Pei Shaoyi is pregnant again, and Jian Huayuan stays with her every day, without even a concubine.
Jian Ruonan: "Not bad, it's a good poem! It's catchy!"
[Oh, you are worthy of being the descendant of the eldest sister-in-law, this little poem is really good! ]
[But judging from the degree of doggerel, it is most likely taught by Xuan Xiaowu. ]
An Jie'er's face sank.
Fifth Auntie spoke with her mouth closed again!
"Beep beep beep--"
After finishing the poem, An Jie'er sat next to Jian Ruonan and played with toys. Min said, "It's nothing, it's Xiaowu's business."
"The daughter of Governor Xu has taken a fancy to Xiaowu, and just asked someone to ask if Xiaowu has an engagement?"
In a blink of an eye, Xuan Xiaowu is already fourteen years old.
Xuan Xiaowu paid off the five thousand taels he owed in more than a year. As a member of the Xuanwu clan, he is quite handsome and tall, almost 1.8 meters tall.
Xuan Xiaowu tried to hide the turtle shell, and the black snake was wrapped around his hand. He was wearing a black robe with a jeweled leather belt around his waist and a silver crown to tie his hair.
The black snake wrapped around his wrist added a bit of mystery to him. When he didn't speak, he looked like a sly and sly young man, very popular with girls.
Jian Ruonan glanced at him and said, "Did you go out to hook up with that girl?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "No."
"I'm so beautiful, it's not the first time that someone has noticed me!"
"Ah, my damn charm that has nowhere to go!"
Jian Ruonan: "..."
It would be fine if he didn't speak, but once he spoke, he became a sand sculpture turtle.
Although Xuan Xiaowu clarified that he was not the fourth prince's biological son, he followed the fourth prince in and out all day long, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had a promising future.
The Fourth Prince was made Crown Prince two years ago, and Xuan Xiaowu also rose in status. Many people came to the Min family to ask if he was engaged.
Jian Ruonan: "Hey, you are still arrogant."
Jian Ruonan didn't dare to beat him two years ago, mainly because he couldn't win, and Mrs. Chen couldn't hold him down.
But Xuan Xiaowu didn't dare to act rashly. If Jian Ruonan couldn't beat him, he still had Tan Tai Mo.
When the Fourth Prince beat someone, he didn't recognize any relatives, and directly threw the person to the martial arts training ground to practice with real swords and guns.
Xuan Xiaowu saw the Fourth Prince teaching his subordinates once and was deeply shocked.
He didn't dare to give the Fourth Prince a chance to teach Gui a lesson.
"Mother, don't worry about this matter, leave it to me." Jian Ruonan said, "I'll take Xiao Wu to Governor Xu's mansion as a guest for a few times, and let Xiao Wu compose a few poems in front of Governor Xu's daughter. After a few words, Governor Xu's daughter will naturally stop worrying about it."
Xuan Xiaowu: "..."
What the hell?
Am I that bad? !
Are you sure the Governor's daughter won't be even more obsessed after hearing my poems? !
Min: "Nannan, you can't always be like this, right?"
The daughter of Governor Xu gave up her thoughts. There were also the daughters of Minister Wang, Minister Wu, and Minister Pang. The key point was that some families were just after the Fourth Prince. Xuan Xiaowu's personality was secondary...
These were all okay. After all, Xuan Xiaowu was not from the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion. The matchmaker only hinted at it. The most worrying thing was Nannan's marriage.
The threshold of the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion was almost crushed by the matchmaker, and Jian Ruonan had no intention of getting married.
Min was so worried. Most of the girls in the mansion were married. Jian Chuyun was married, Princess Jiarou had two children in three years, and Xilu had two children. Only Nannan was left. She ate and drank every day, went hiking in spring, played in the water in summer, admired chrysanthemums in autumn, and skated in winter. She was carefree...
Hey, you know what, getting married brings a lot of troubles, but not getting married means she has no worries at all!
Thinking of this, Min was no longer worried.
Jian Ruonan didn't notice the ups and downs of Min's mood at all. After sending Min away, she turned to look at Xuan Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, what are your plans?"
Xuan Xiaowu asked back: "What plans can I have?"
"Who was it that vowed to complete the mission and send me away?"
"It's been six years, six years! Have you ever cared about the mission?! Even if you pretended to care once?!"
He thought the turtle was the laziest, but he didn't expect this woman to be lazier than the turtle!
"In a few years, I will really get married and have children!"
Jian Ruonan: "You are a turtle, why do you want to get married?"
Xuan Xiaowu: "Why can't a turtle get married? Do you think I jumped out of a crack in a stone?"
"Think about your mission!"
In these six years, Jian Ruonan has lived a carefree life. She eats melons when she has nothing to do and occasionally attends court in the morning and afternoon.
She has re-raised her young self.
"Isn't it just a mission?!" Jian Ruonan stood up calmly: "Follow the fifth sister!"
"Let's complete the mission!"
Xuan Xiaowu's eyes lit up, "Nannan, are you going to marry the fourth prince?"
Jian Ruonan stretched out her index finger: "NO, NO, NO, Jian Chuxue gave birth to a child today!"
Jian Chuxue's child's life, the emotional line of the male and female protagonists has come to a perfect end, which can be regarded as completing the mission!
