Chapter 621: The Spring Breeze and the South Bank of the Green River
On this day, he was sitting at home playing with Qi Yu, and Qi Yu was already learning to walk at this time. Qi Xiaoxian had already gone to the Qing Officials Division and had not yet returned, so Ruan Di thought that it would be better to take the two children to Ruan Tao's house to have a look.
Thinking like this, he told Xiaowan to pack her luggage.
But he didn't want the housekeeper to fly over from the front door, Ruan Di frowned and said, "Why did you run like this?" Is something wrong? ”
"Madam, Lord Ruan, he has come to see you!" The butler didn't have time to rest, and his tone was beaming.
"Come in!" Ruan Di was naturally surprised and delighted, she had been busy all day since she returned from Soochow, and she had no time to go to see her father. At this moment, it is said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, how could she not be happy?
was waiting for it, and Ruan Tao had already walked into the courtyard gate. Ruan Di's eyes were sharp, and he saw Chef Liu next to him at a glance, like a mirror in his heart, and there was a touch of cunning in his eyes.
"Daddy! How did you get here! Ruan Di stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Ruan Tao's arm.
The three of them walked side by side to a small pavilion in the garden.
All three sat down, and the little maid brought tea.
Ruan Di suddenly got up and came to Chef Liu, knelt down respectfully three times, and said loudly: "My daughter is not filial, I just saw my mother today!" Please don't complain about your daughter. ”
After saying that, he and Ruan Tao made a look, and the father and daughter understood and immediately laughed.
That Chef Liu was afraid that Ruan Di would not accept it, but she didn't want her to be polite for a few weeks, and her words and demeanor were only intermittent, but she just regarded herself as her own mother, and she liked it even more in her heart, so she made up her mind to treat Ruan Di as her own daughter.
At this point, the family of three was finally reunited.
The three of them were talking on the gazebo, and Qi Yu and Ruan Yiying were frolicking in the distance by the maids, this scene was really a beautiful scene in the world.
But he heard Qi Xiaoxian's voice from afar: "Di'er! ”
Ruan Di turned his head, it was Qi Xiaoxian who had returned from the Qing Officials Division. He said goodbye to Ruan Tao and Liu, greeted him and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Qi Xiaoxian waved his hand, a trace of worry passed through his black eyes, and a random smile appeared on his face: "This flute is still pretending to be confused?" ”
Ruan Di's face turned red, but he refused to admit it, and deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "What? ”
"Naturally, the husband misses Di'er, so he came back early. If you have a wife at home, where can you still be in the mood to linger on official documents? ”
Qi Xiaoxian said, reaching out and scraping Ruan Di's nose, his tone was extremely doting.
Without waiting for Ruan Di to answer, Qi Xiaoxian picked her up horizontally, and strode towards the room. But I heard Ruan Di say:
"Speaking of official documents, I just saw that you seem to have something on your mind, is there something wrong with the court?"
"I'll tell you in a moment."
Qi Xiaoxian didn't wait for Ruan Di to distinguish this time, and his head moved forward to her white and red little face, blocking her cherry mouth.
"What the hell is going on in the court?"
Ruan Di snuggled up to Qi Xiaoxian's chest, her face was crimson, her clothes were exposed, and she was extremely fragrant.
Qi Xiaoxian padbed his head with one hand, hugged Ruan Di with the other, and said casually: "But it's nothing." It's just that when the Qing Officials Division was sorting out the case of Dongwu, they found that some doubts were not clear, and they were even involved in the previous case. ”
"The last case? The last time the South visited Tianshui Town, what was the corruption? Ruan Di instantly felt a little depressed in her heart, but she didn't know why.
Qi Xiaoxian nodded, as if he remembered something again, and added: "There are too many figures in the Peony Sect involved in the Dongwu case this time, and the emperor said that he would investigate thoroughly. There are also people in the court who are panicking, for fear that they will become the object of suspicion. ”
Ruan Di's face became solemn, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little lucky: "In this Dongwu case, Chao Yan and Xu An are not considered to be figures in the Peony Sect, so when we reported it, we were vague, could it be that the suspicion is in it?" ”
"Impossible," Qi Xiaoxian shook his head, "I haven't reported these suspicions to the emperor yet, if it's right, only I know." I've checked it carefully, and the suspicion really isn't on them. ”
"So what's wrong with this suspicion?" Ruan Di listened to Qi Xiaoxian's betrayal of Guanzi, and became even more curious.
"Di'er, I actually don't want you to get involved in these court affairs, you know?" Qi Xiaoxian was reluctant to answer, but changed the topic.
Ruan Di smiled: "I naturally know. The last time I toured the south, I had a difficult birth; On this trip to Soochow, although I came back safely, it is a pity that Zhiying and Mingyu both died because of me. But you must be very tired by yourself, and since I can help, there is no reason to live in a deep house compound all day. ”
Qi Xiaoxian pretended to be angry and said, "In the end, you still don't want to live in the deep mansion compound. Hum! ”
The two of them struggled like this, and they didn't fall asleep until they felt very sleepy late at night.
On the second day, Qi Xiaoxian went to the Qing Officials Division early, and Ruan Di did not have to go to the court because he was authorized by the emperor, but stayed at home with a pair of children, and he was also happy.
But day after day, her old illness recurred, and she inevitably felt depressed. I remembered my Tianxiang Building.
She gave an order and asked the maid to take care of the two children. Carrying Xiaowan, the two took the car to Tianxianglou.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the bookkeeper greet him with a flattering face. Ruan Di was secretly amused, so he followed him into the door to visit.
The courtyard in the building is like a city, and the daughters of noblewomen in the capital can be seen everywhere.
If it were a different way to the past, Ruan Di would definitely jump up with joy; It's just that the past and the past are different, she is already a court official, and she is no longer a weak Ruan Di who needs to please those noble ladies.
Just as he was sighing, he heard a melodious young man behind him calling: "Ruan Di? There was some disbelief in his voice.
Ruan Di was stunned, knowing that it was Meng Yan. I wanted to come and see him for a long time, so I turned my head.
"Ruan Di, it's really you!" That Meng Yan was very excited, and when he saw that it was really Ruan Di, he took three steps and made two steps, walked forward quickly, pulled Ruan Di's hands and looked up and down without stopping.
He said distressedly: "Ruan Di, long time no see!" You're all skinny! With another free hand, he was about to touch Ruan Di's cheek.
Ruan Di hurriedly broke free of his hand and turned his head sideways.
As a result, Meng Yan's hand was awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
Both of them were a little awkward, Ruan Di smiled and said, "Brother Meng Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The two found a teahouse and talked. It's nothing more than polite words to ask for warmth. Ruan Di suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Brother Meng Yan, you are now twenty-three or three!" Why don't you take a wife? ”
When Meng Yan heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but he shouted frantically in his heart: "Don't you know why I don't marry a wife?" Ruan Di, Ruan Di, can you pretend to be stupid or really stupid? ”
