Chapter 226

Ran Yan wrote the gift list and handed it to the housekeeper. Then he looked at the old man in a twinkling of an eye.

This is an old man in his seventies. He is wearing a grayish cloak with a light grey coat on his thin body. He is leaning on a mahogany walking stick. His hair is silver and white. He has a bun on his head and a sandalwood hairpin. Even though he has been faltering, but his whole body is refined and elegant. You can see that he must be an old man full of knowledge.

"It's a copy of Mr. Feng chengsu. Are you? " Ran Yanguan's old man was pale, and his flabby and thin face had slight swelling, which showed that his body was not healthy.

The old man sighed, his hoarse voice with the old man's peculiar trembling voice, "the old man's surname is Yu."

Yu Shinan, ran Yan's mind immediately floating this name. From this, she thought of Huaiyin, who died in the fire. That's his nephew.

Yu Shinan loved the characters of the two kings in his whole life. Whenever he knew where there were authentic works, he would try his best to borrow them to read them. His calligraphy attainments were also extraordinary. His calligraphy was also a treasure for the world to collect. Naturally, he was not interested in Feng chengsu's copies.

"Duke Yu, why are you here in person?" Zheng Lang Jun had just pulled out of a group of courtiers' greetings. Seeing Yu Shinan, he was surprised and bowed respectfully.

Yu Shinan nodded and raised his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite. "Old lady Li has a long life. How can I not come?"

The reason why so many important officials of the imperial court came to celebrate the old lady's birthday was not because of Zheng rentai's relationship. The old lady was born in the seventh room of Li family in Longxi. She was also involved in the political power in the uprising in the late Sui Dynasty. She was a role similar to military adviser and aide in the lady army of Princess Pingyang. Her insight and breadth of mind were beyond the ordinary women's ability.

Moreover, Mrs. Li is an elegant person who attaches great importance to etiquette. She can write poems and songs, and her chess skills are exquisite. Therefore, no matter the officials and military generals, they will sell her some face.

With the help of Zheng Langjun, Yu Shinan took two steps. Suddenly, he thought that the little lady was always in a calm mood when she was talking to him. He turned around and saw that she was quietly watching him leave. He couldn't help asking, "which lady are you?"

Yu Shinan's voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of a cadre of courtiers. People didn't pay special attention to a young lady. Even if they were calm and good-looking, they would not treat them differently. However, Yu Shinan was quiet and had no desire to care about this kind of thing, so they were not curious.

Ran Yan crouched and saluted and replied, "my son is the seventeen niangs of Ran family in Suzhou."

Yu Shinan saw that although she was very polite, her quiet dark eyes did not have any waves. He said, "Jiangnan is a good place..."

Yu Shinan has been to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and he has always had a harvest. If he had not been able to move, he would have visited again.

Zheng Langjun helped Yu Shinan to the banquet hall in the West courtyard.

Ran Yan gets up and hands the script to the housekeeper.

This small wave soon subsided, and some people looked at ran Yan a few times more. However, in addition to feeling that she was calm, she could not see any other special features. As for beauty, Chang'an has never been short of it. If they see more, they will not pay attention to it.

Ran Yan handed in the gift and went back with ran Yun.

In front of so many people, Xiao Song didn't rush to talk to him. He just sent gifts like other officials, and then went to the banquet hall with his colleagues who were going to pay their respects to the birthday.

"Seventeen elder sister, you are so bold. I see that my legs are weak." Ran Yun whispered.

Ran Yan bowed her lips and retreated to the path with her, intending to wait for the courtiers to pass by. When they exchanged greetings with the old lady, they just slipped in.

Ran Yan looked at the battle and asked about old man Li.

Ran Yun is full of admiration for ran Yan, and as he walks, he pours out all the things he knows.

Li Xiuning, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army in the late Sui Dynasty, can be called a military genius. Qu tuotong, the general of the Sui Dynasty, had suffered several great defeats under her. When Li Shimin moved to the north of Weihe River, he relied mainly on the participation of Princess Pingyang and the detachment of women to conquer the enemy.

When he attacked Chang'an, Li Yuan crossed the Yellow River and entered Guanzhong. Princess Pingyang selected more than 10000 elite soldiers to join forces with Li Shimin on the North Bank of the Weihe River and attacked them on both sides. Each led an army and each had its own shogunate. And Mrs. Li was one of the rebel shogunates.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he named his daughter Princess Pingyang, which means she was one of the chief meritorious officials in pacifying the Sui Dynasty. As an aide of the former Yijun shogunate, Mrs. Li only received the title of Yipin Gaoming in Wude years, and then retired behind the scenes.

Ran Yan breathed a breath, but she didn't really offer birthday gifts in public. Otherwise, with her eyes of insight into the world, she could see their intentions clearly. It's hard to take the initiative in front of such a person. You can only take a chance.

When you get to the banquet hall, you can see from the outside that the male guests and female guests are sitting on both sides, male left and female right. There is a light veil on the female side. You can enter it from the side door without passing through the main door.

As ran Yan imagined, a large group of courtiers gathered around old lady Li to celebrate her birthday. They went in through the side door, sneaked into the house against the wall, saw where Luo Shi and ran Meiyu were, and walked quickly."Done?" Roche turned his head and asked softly.

Ran Yan whispered.

Luo Shi took a look at ran Yun, and saw her smile and nod. Her heart was put down and her expression was more natural than before.

In the afternoon, the officials of the imperial court had to go to the official office to serve. They gave a congratulatory message, and after a few simple greetings, they were all gone. The atmosphere in the banquet hall was obviously much more relaxed.

At the beginning of the banquet, the music began, and dancers swarmed in from the small doors on both sides of the main gate, dancing with the music in the central open space.

All of this is very fresh for ran Yan, so she is particularly attentive, even if she doesn't know anything about music and dance.

After watching it for a while, ran Yan felt that it was a little boring. There was not much time for a single piece of tea, but there were not many movements. The so-called neon dress and feather coat dance would not appear until several decades later.

At the end of the banquet, the gentlemen suggested that they would come to play with the poem to celebrate birthday. Mrs. Li is a great poet. Naturally, she is very happy to have such a birthday celebration.

Ran Yan's heart is bitter. If it's her turn, I'm afraid that she will lose face in front of the whole length of an Ren!

She thought about it, but she didn't even have half a sentence in her mind

Fortunately, it's just that the husband's side is the main one, and the ladies with some ink in their belly will occasionally present some songs. The people are also more polite, but no one deliberately makes trouble.

Roche did not mean to be a leader. Like ran Yan, he drooped his eyes and occasionally sipped the syrup in his cup.

Ran looks calm on her face, but she is very nervous. She remembers a time bomb installed in the house when the police found out at the scene of autopsy that she was trapped by the murderer. She was more nervous than she was when she watched the bomb jump off one second at a time.

It was not until Mrs. Li's face was tired that the crowd stopped. At this time, there were more than ten birthday poems. Although Li Laofu was very tired, he looked very happy. After saying a few words of thanks, he pleaded guilty and left first.

Ran Yan was completely relieved.

She thought the banquet was going to be over, but she didn't want to. Zheng's house was still ready to talk and have a rest. She said that if there was no emergency, she would ask to sit down.

Not many people left, Roche naturally will not miss this good opportunity.

"Mother, why didn't you see the princess?" Ran Yun whispered.

Roche shook her head and motioned her not to speak.

"How many of you are the family members of the ran family in Suzhou?" Just about to turn the corner, suddenly a clear voice asked.

Several people stopped and turned around. Roche saw that the person who asked was a maid servant, but she was dressed up in a very decent way, which was not inferior to that of other people's wives. With a dignified smile on his face, he replied, "exactly."

The maid's eyes were moving, and ran Yun, ran Yan and ran Meiyu passed her. She said with a smile, "you can make me easy to find. Who is ran seventeen?"

Ran Yan stopped for a moment and said in a voice, "what can I do for you, girl?"

"Maid, at the end of autumn, my old lady has invited ran shiqiniang to speak." With a smile at the end of autumn, ran Yan looked at ran Yan in a big way and bowed to her.

A few people are surprised, ran Yan is also a little confused, she sent a note to now, the old lady should not have time to know about this? Or is it Yu Shinan's word? Or did the housekeeper report it?

In a flash, ran Yan's heart flashed a lot of possibilities. She looked at Roche, saw her smile and nodded, then turned around and said, "please lead the way, please."

When ran Yan turns around, her eyes inadvertently see ran Meiyu and ran Yun. Ran Yun is full of joy. Ran Meiyu curls her mouth and turns her head to one side. She felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she could not bear to think about it, so she left with the end of autumn.

Behind him came ran Yun's voice, "what's wrong with your leg?"

"I just fell down..." Ran Meiyu said.

Because the farther and farther away, ran Yan can't listen to the words behind.

"At the end of autumn, miss, do you dare to ask what the old lady called me?" Ran Yan understood that a maid may not know the inside story, but still asked.

At the end of autumn, he was very kind. He could squeeze out two shallow dimples with a smile on his face with baby fat. "I don't know. The old lady is talking to Yu Gong. Sister Ling Dong is serving in the house. She told me to come."

"Thank you." Ran Yan went to the back of the West courtyard with her.

At the end of autumn, Liandao dare not.

From the sheep intestine path around, almost to the side door leading to the front yard, it stopped at the end of autumn. "Lady, please wait in the side room first. I'll ask sister Ling Dong when it's convenient for the old lady to see you."

"Thank you." Ran Yan said politely. Looking around, there are many maids standing in the corridor with their heads drooping. There are also maidservants waiting to listen in the corridor, so they lift their feet into the inner room. (to be continued.
