Chapter 384 The Damned Woman said,
"Hey, Xiao Wu is here too." Min rarely came to Jian Ruonan's private house. The house was not big and was decorated quite exquisitely. On the way in, the maids and servants were well-behaved.
She knew that although Nan Nan was a little lazy, her ability to defend the country was not bad at all.
"Mother, you are here!" Jian Ruonan came to greet her, her voice somewhat relaxed: "Let's go!"
Min pulled her and looked at her carefully: "Why are you so active today?"
Nan Nan is almost eighteen years old and has not yet been engaged. In the eyes of outsiders, she is considered an old maid. Every time she goes out to visit guests, there are always some blind people who bump into her and talk nonsense and make trouble. Although Nan Nan can always make the other party speechless, over time, it is still very annoying. Gradually, she is somewhat reluctant to go out to visit relatives.
If Min hadn't come to stop them in person, Nan Nan would have prepared a generous gift and then disappeared.
Min was puzzled by her sudden enthusiasm.
Jian Ruonan: "Mother, what you said is true. How can I not be enthusiastic when it comes to my grandfather's birthday?"
"Madam." Tan Tai Mo came out of the flower hall and looked at Min.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Min hurriedly saluted the other party. Halfway through the salute, Tan Tai Mo stopped her in time: "Madam, you don't have to salute."
Min's eyes moved around Nan Nan and Tan Tai Mo.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit weird.
Something must have happened.
The whole Jinyang Marquis' Mansion knew what His Highness the Crown Prince was thinking, and he was under great pressure for Nan Nan.
However, his own daughter couldn't bear the hardship of getting married, nor the hardship of having a child.
But it's hard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Looking at her somewhat strange daughter, Min blinked: Is there a chance for a turnaround? !
Since Jian Ruonan really wanted to go to her relatives' house for dinner, or to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, Tan Tai Mo couldn't stop her.
After getting on the carriage, Min called Xuan Xiaowu to her side: "Xiaowu, what happened to the two of them?"
Xuan Xiaowu whispered what happened to the two of them.
After hearing this, Min didn't dare to say a word.
Yes, there is still no turnaround.
After getting on the carriage, Min took out the prepared hairpin from the maid and inserted it into Jian Ruonan's head: "Why are you so plain? Dress up and you will be so beautiful."
As she grew older, Nan Nan's facial features grew and became more and more eye-catching. But she just didn't like to dress up. It was rare to see a gold hairpin on her head, let alone a headdress.
"Mother, I really don't like it." Jian Ruonan: "It's too heavy. Wearing it too much will cause cervical spondylosis."
Min: "What cervical spondylosis? Mother thinks you are lazy."
Jian Ruonan took off the hairpin and handed it to the maid behind her: "Mother gave it to me. Please keep it for me!" When
they arrived at the grandparents' house, the grandmother and Min's two sisters-in-law personally greeted them at the door of the hanging flower gate.
"Mother, why did you come in person?" Min took two steps forward and supported the old lady with both hands.
The old lady grabbed Jian Ruonan's hand and
said, "Nannan has finally come to our house. I, an old woman, wish I could go to the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion to pick her up myself." The two sisters-in-law behind her also said, "Mother has been looking forward to Nannan for a long time. Finally, she is here."
Jian Ruonan wanted to pay her respects to her grandmother, and her grandmother supported her personally, "Oh, Nannan is getting more and more outstanding."
"What do you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it. I don't know if you are used to the tea here. If you are not satisfied, you must tell your grandmother, and don't keep it in your heart."
Jian Ruonan: "Grandmother, everything is good here. I like coming here the most. Every tree and blade of grass here is much more exquisite than that in the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion."
These two sentences made her grandmother smile, and she was calling her heart.
Min pulled the man aside and whispered, "You are not allowed to run around today, do you hear me?"
Every time Min went back to her parents' home, she would be asked about Nan Nan's marriage. Nan Nan is about to turn eighteen, and she has no intention of getting married. Her family is more anxious than Min.
The two sisters-in-law said to bring Nan Nan here so that they can persuade her.
Min was worried that the two sisters-in-law would persuade her and she would also want to divorce, after all, there was an example before.
How could she dare to go back to her parents' home in the future? Her two brothers would hate her to death.
Min postponed it several times in private, and her mother suggested that Nan Nan's cousins should be asked to persuade her.
The words of peers are sometimes more effective than those of elders.
Min was worried that the youngsters would ask for a break-off if they stayed with Nan Nan for too long. After her two sisters-in-law said that even if the young lady asked for a break-off, they would not blame her and Nan Nan, she personally brought Nan Nan here.
Jian Ruonan: "Mother, what's the matter?"
Min: "Nothing, your second cousin and fourth cousin miss you, go and have some fun with them."
The group came to the flower hall in a lively and noisy manner. The flower hall was already full of noble ladies. When they saw Jian Ruonan come in, they all turned their heads.
"Whose daughter is this? She is so beautiful?"
"I wonder if she has been engaged?"
Jian Ruonan didn't like being criticized by others. Just when she felt a little uncomfortable, the eldest princess came.
The eldest princess was of noble status, and her arrival helped her share a lot of attraction. Jian Ruonan followed closely behind the eldest princess.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" After coming out of the flower hall, Jian Ruonan followed the princess to the waterside pavilion.
"I'm here to celebrate your birthday." The princess: "I've received the invitation."
The princess is of noble status, and she rarely appears in such occasions. She showed up in person today just to give face to Jian Ruonan.
The two walked to the lake, and suddenly two men in cool clothes appeared and danced with swords.
The men dancing with swords had extraordinary looks, with thin waists, broad shoulders, and neat figures, which made Jian Ruonan unable to take her eyes away.
Jian Ruonan:? ?
"Did you call this?"
The princess: "No."
She stretched out her hand, and the two men dancing with swords immediately surrounded her. One of them put away his sword, stepped forward and caught the princess's slender jade fingers.
The other stood beside Jian Ruonan.
Jian Ruonan turned sideways and saw that the man next to her was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome appearance and exuding vigor and vitality.
Because of sword dancing, his cheeks were a little red, and his eyes were moving, like a pure and beautiful sunny boy who had not experienced the baptism of the world.
Jian Ruonan: "..."
"Princess, this?"
Didn't you say you didn't know her?
You even touched her hand!
Jian Ruonan looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very nervous inside.
The eldest princess was overjoyed: "Fifth sister, this is a gift from someone with a good heart."
"You have been a first-rank official for such a long time, and you have never received such a gift?"
Jian Ruonan: "...No, do you receive it often?"
The eldest princess: "Yes, if you like him, then stay."
Jian Ruonan: "Are you asking me to openly accept bribes?"
The eldest princess: "He is just a man, how can I openly accept bribes. If you like him, then stay. In a few days, the person who sends gifts will show up. If you are willing, make friends with him, and if you are not willing, send him back."
Jian Ruonan was a little uneasy: "Have I suddenly become a treacherous villain?!"
The eldest princess looked over meaningfully: "Fifth sister, you have needs even if you don't get married."
Miss Five, who can't bear a little hardship, can she bear the hardship of
staying alone in an empty room? The young man next to her: "Don't worry, Miss Fifth, I'm not dirty at all."
Even the voice of the undeflowered top-notch young man is very pleasant.
The boy raised his head, his ignorant eyes revealing a hint of unintentional seduction.
Jian Ruonan: ! !
I can't keep my damn wifely virtues anymore.
--Min
imagined: Bring Nannan here, let the sisters persuade her to marry
In reality: Openly playing with ducks at the grandparents' house (not!)
