The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 52. Lantern Festival

The weather in spring is getting better every day, and people seem to feel the same. Jiang Susu and Xia Yan treat Jiang Ruanji very politely. Jiang Li has never seen him since he was banned. Except for occasional encounters with the cynicism and sarcasm of the second aunt, the rest of the days are spent plainly, as if he should have been so stable. .

Dewdrop poured a cup of red jujube lotus seed tea for Jiang Ruan, and added acacia nectar from the kitchen. The color was brilliant and beautiful. Jiang Ruan put his chin on one hand and flipped through the book indifferently.

“The girl also rested. I have been watching for half a morning.” Luzhu smiled: “I don’t know, I thought the girl was going to be the champion.”

Bai Zhi laughed and scolded: “The girl is also something you can make fun of, and it’s getting more and more unruly.”

Dewdrop looked at Jiang Ruan and just smiled: “It was originally, girl, did the slave and maid make a mistake?”

Jiang Ruan looked at the two slapstick maids around him, and was about to say a few words, when Forsythia walked in with a cold face. Forsythia is always smiling, this expression must have encountered something. Sure enough, without waiting for Jiang Ruan to speak, Forsythia said: “The servant girl passed by Yanhua Court and was stopped by Madam Li, who was next to his wife. She said that she saw that Ruan Ju had insufficient manpower. The wife personally picked a few girls and waited for the meeting. Bring it here. Bah, it’s also because she has been peaceful for the past few days. She is really uneasy and kind. This is about putting people in our yard.”

“Speak down,” Bai Zhi said quickly: “There are ears in the wall.”

Dewdrop also frowned: “This is too much.”

Jiang Ruan smiled and slowly picked up the cup. She couldn’t refuse this way, playing the banner of being good for her. You can’t blatantly suspect that you are the mistress of the house. Xia Yan is always like this. His rude request has a bright appearance. Who knows what nasty thoughts are underneath.

My ear seemed to recall Mother Zhou’s words: “Big girl, the old slave has to say a word when she risked her death. The wife’s death was not accidental. It must have something to do with the woman in Yanhuayuan. The old slave wanted to stay. I found evidence at the house and didn’t want to fall to the point where I am now. These words may not be believed by the old lady, but the old slave has been with his wife for many years, and the old slave of the lady is very clear about the strangeness of the illness. Ask…Big girl, Madam was murdered!”

Fingers clenched the handle of the thin white porcelain cup unconsciously. Jiang Ruan’s eyes were cold. Zhao Mei’s death was related to Xia Yan. She believed that this was true. If Jiang Quan knew about it but tolerated it so far, she will not want it in the future. Blame her for being ruthless.

Thinking like this, I heard someone from outside tell me: “Girl, sister Cuckoo from Guilan Academy is here.”

Du Juan walked in with a smile: “The old lady asked the servants and maidservants to invite the eldest lady to come over, and there are some things to explain.”

Jiang Ruan stood up and asked in a gentle voice: “Thank you, Sister Dujuan has taken a trip. Let’s go now. Sister Dujuan, what do you know about it?”

Dujuan smiled: “Miss, don’t call slaves and maids like that. Slaves and maids can’t afford it. I don’t know what the slaves and maids are. Just look at this day, the Lantern Festival is about to come.”

During the Lantern Festival, Jiang Ruan’s pupils shrank suddenly and his expression stiffened suddenly. His hands didn’t seem to be hit straight, and a stone pestle stayed on the spot.

Bai Zhi worried: “What’s wrong with the girl?”

Only then did Jiang Ruan come back to his senses and smiled: “It’s okay.” The nails in the sleeves were secretly embedded in the palms.

Lantern Festival! Lantern Festival! The day that made her notorious in her previous life was supposed to be the Spring Festival when she had just returned home a few years later. The ridicule and ridicule in everyone’s eyes, the worries of Xia Yan’s mother and daughter, and Jiang Quan’s indifference were vividly remembered. After coming back to her first life, she returned to Jiang’s Mansion several years earlier. I don’t know if that day of despair will also repeat itself. Whether it is or not, one thing is different, that is, she won’t. A stupid pig can be slaughtered, and whoever harms her will give her thousands of times and will return!

Du Juan looked at Jiang Ruan with a smile, but at this moment he couldn’t help but make a sudden shock. He only felt that Jiang Ruan’s gaze seemed to be eating people, and it was not like the evil ghosts in the eighteenth hell painted on the temple wall. Second, there is a sense of ghostly spirit. In the next second, Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile, his eyes were as clear as water in the mountains, and he said softly: “Let’s go to the grandmother’s yard.”

In the Guilan Academy, Jiang Susu and Xia Yan had already arrived first. Seeing Jiang Ruan and Dujuan coming in, Jiang Susu took the lead to jump off Mrs. Jiang’s couch. His tone was unstoppable excitement: “Big sister, the Lantern Festival will be three days later. , Grandma asked the sisters in our house to go to Linglong Fang to play together. Big sister hasn’t been there yet, it’s fun.”

Xia Yan said softly: “Ms. Ruan Niang has just returned to the capital, and the Lantern Festival is very lively. It’s better to go and take a look together to be happy.”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart. Sure enough, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Xia Yan’s mother and daughter’s desire to cheat her remained unchanged.

Lantern Festival is a very special festival in Dajin Dynasty, especially for those who love each other. Men and women of marriageable age have come out to play on this day, and many stories are made on the Lantern Festival. On this day, the children of the nobles in the capital have their own ways of playing. There will be two very gorgeous flower boats decorated with dragons and phoenixes. The young Miss Gaomen, the daughters of the nobles, and the princesses will sit in Linglong. At the boat, the young masters, princes, and princes sat on the boat. The two flower boats swim the lake side by side, that is, they are close to each other, and there is no protection against men and women.

The boat boat at Lantern Festival is actually a blind date among the upper class nobles. Young women can show off their talents in front of these princes. If they are really talented, they will make many princes fall in love. Day is full of capital. So this day is to prove their game again, the famous ladies secretly contest, just want to win a good future for themselves, a good man.

The title of Jiang Susu’s first in the middle of Beijing is not due to the limelight at the annual Lantern Festival. Poor Jiang Ruan, who didn’t know the doorway at all, was tricked by Jiang Susu to make a fool of herself on Linglong Boat, and then something like that happened. On the second day, Jiang Susu was no longer the most talkative person after the Lantern Festival, because that person was replaced by Jiang Ruan. On that day, rumors arose in Beijing during the Lantern Festival, and Jiang Ruan’s reputation plummeted and became the biggest joke in Beijing.

If these are nothing, there is a scene in my memory that is deeply engraved in my mind. That day, everyone was ridiculing and taunting, and only the Eighth Prince was the only one who spoke gently for Jiang Ruan. It was only when she was blinded that she took the ridicule in those eyes abruptly as caring.

Goodbye to the deceased in this life, things are not, she knows his gentleman’s wolf ambitions, three days later, the Lantern Festival, what kind of gift should be given to this life?
