General Ruan walked very quietly, which was different from that of qiudran, or what everyone thought.

Because the old man was seriously ill and could not speak or act at all. Therefore, when Ruan Qingyan and other attendants are around, they all go up for a pulse test to confirm his life and death.

Then in the middle of the night Ruan Qingyan found that the body temperature of the thin body lying in the brocade quilt was still there, but his chest was flattened.

When old doctor Qi arrived, although it was summer, people were already cool.

"Ruan Hanlin, please forgive me." When the old doctor of Qi came, he knew that he had been there. As expected, there was no place for general Ruan to meet him. After comforting Ruan Qingyan, he left.

At this time, Ruan Ciyi could not help crying first. To say that the eldest miss of Ruan family was also suffering. After nearly 20 years of pampering in the rich brocade, she came out of the cabinet to catch up with her grandfather's defeat and her husband. After ten years of demotion, it was easy for her younger brother to get her back to Beijing and catch up with her grandfather's farewell.

As soon as she cried, her eyes were red with the autumn drag LAN, who was also the wife's wife. The cousins sobbed as they stood in front of the couch, telling of general Ruan's kindness and affection.

Ruan Qingyan has been sitting there since he realized that general Ruan had left. So smart people can't say a word.

The remaining Fang Nongyan, who has been a county magistrate for more than ten years, saw this situation, and hurriedly ordered people to come in and take care of it, and then sent people to inform Ling Zui - because general Ruan is bound to leave these two days, at this time, there should be no outsiders at home, so although Ling Zui helped to prepare things in the daytime, he left at night and went back to Jingchuan Houfu.

Because Ruan Qingyan was so sad that she couldn't see it over, Fang Nongyan was not familiar with the general's mansion. On the other hand, her son-in-law was the only one who couldn't be the master. When Ling Zui hurried in, Ruan's family was in chaos.

Ling Zui didn't mean to scold him. He found several administrators of Ruan's family and told them to listen to the arrangement of the people he brought. He rushed to the backyard to visit them.

Seeing Ruan Qingyan and other people's desperate appearance, I had no choice but to comfort them. At last, I knew that it was useless to say anything on this eye segment bone. He made his own decision. First, he drove everyone out, went in and wiped general Ruan's body. He took the shroud that he had prepared in the early years and carried it into the coffin for placement

Thanks to his reputation of being a dandy in Beijing, Dang, after all, when he was growing up in his family, he also took part in several red and white affairs in his life, and had a number of thoughts on the general process and scenes. Moreover, with the assistance of the governor of Jingchuan Houfu, before dawn, he always arranged the Lingtang in seven or eight.

At this time, the people who reported to each family were almost dispatched. When the gate of the workshop opened, people began to come to mourn one after another.

It's just that Ruan's family has been in decline for a long time, Ruan Qingyan hasn't married, and he has been living in and out of the country as a male guest - because Qiu Mengmin's husband and wife are newly married. Although Qiu Mengmin's rank is lower than Ruan's, his rank is higher, so it's OK not to come in person. Princess Yang had to go there in person, but she had nothing to say to Ruan's family or to qiutiailan. After a while, she took off and went away - until qiunie came to the door with her sister, Ruan Ciyi and qiutiailan were comforted: "Princess and miss Ruan please mourn. The spirit of the old general in the sky, certainly can't bear to see the two grieving like this."

"Sister Qiu and qian'er are here?" The mood of qiutiailan at the moment is certainly not as simple as Ruan Qingyan and Ruan Ciyi in terms of sadness, but in terms of complexity, no one can reach it - the old man who didn't really say a word until he died, even if he lingered on the bed, living is a kind of shelter She has enjoyed this kind of care in the past life and this life. She has not been able to repay this kind of care in the past life and this life

In the past, she wanted to cry a lot to vent, but the tide of corpses, hard and bitter struggle When there is time to cry, the heart has been honed into iron.

This almost instinctive self-control even passed down to this life.

Tears fall one after another, but do not feel sad flow, but more desolate.

She exchanged greetings with the autumn wave and swing, but she was at a loss.

I don't know how long it took for the swing to scream, and turn around in a slow, half beat fashion, and see Ruan Ciyi holding the handkerchief and turning white in winter dye's arms!

"The eldest lady seems to have fainted from grief!" Winter dye's complexion is not good-looking either, "how to do?"

"Help your cousin to lie in the room for a while and mix a bowl of honey water!" Autumn drag LAN deep breath, command way.

In response, Dong ran calls for two women to come in, helps Ruan Ciyi's servant girl Suxin to help her lie down, and tells Qiu Hualan, "take care of the princess!"

"I'll take care of it." "Autumn drag LAN to smile miserably," you go to look at cousin

Winter dye hesitated, but said: "one autumn dye will pass."

It's well known to all of us that although Ruan Qingyan should pay more attention to Ruan Ciyi in terms of blood relationship, Xu Shixian knew Qiu Tailan first, and Qiu Tailan was his younger sister's reason. Ruan Qingyan has been taking care of it so far, with Qiu Tailan as the priority. As Ruan Qingyan's confidant, Dong ran, of course, is more concerned about autumn.

At this moment, naturally, no one said that the servants of Ruan's family were not as close to miss Ruan as they were to qiushailan.

After a little bit of coldness, Qiubo talks about persuading people again. The swing helps her elder sister. The two sisters are talking about the same old-fashioned way of persuading people to be sad, but they can also share their thoughts when they talk about it. At this time, there is a sound of kicking steps outside. After the curtain is lifted, Fang Zijun probes in and doesn't salute or say hello. Dala asks "And my mother?"Autumn drag LAN originally dislike him, see his rudeness heart more disgusted at the moment, just wipe tears ignore.

Autumn wave and swing don't know Fang Zijun. They don't know who he asked, so they can't answer. But dongran straightened a little and said to him, "little Fang, your mother has gone home to change her clothes."

"Oh." Fang Zijun gets an answer, and doesn't seem to want to spend more time with autumn traction LAN. As soon as he shakes the curtain, he runs away again.

After he left, dongran explained: "there are few people in the mansion. When the maid just came over, she saw that my uncle and lingxiaohou were working together on the front business, so she had no time to deal with Fang Xiaozi. After all, young master Fang is very young. If you let him know that his mother is grieving and fainting, I'm afraid he's upset. Therefore, it's better to say that the eldest lady has gone home. "

Autumn drag LAN now mind is not at all on these things, casually way: "also not what big matter, sent him good."

Autumn wave and swing listen to this tone is wrong, right when Fang Zijun never came, still choose to comfort the words.

After a while, there were other female guests.

This time, the female guest surprised everyone because it was Xue sun, the eldest lady of Xue's family, who came here with her daughter Xue Lingqing.

Although Qiulan is bothering Xue's family now, Ruan Qingyan is always Xuechang's student. Ruan Ciyi is dizzy in the room and has to make perfunctory remarks. Seeing that the woman is alone, Xue sun asks where Ruan Ciyi is going, and laments. Finally, he says: "before we came here, Qing'er's grandfather asked us to ask you what's the problem with you Do you have a handle? In the end, you are all young. If you need anything, you are welcome! "

Xue Lingqing, the sixth granddaughter of Xue's family, has a white melon seed face, bright apricot eyes, curved eyebrows and cherry lips, which are full of innocence. She looked at Qiu Xulan sympathetically and took over her mother's words: "yes, my grandfather also said that he would ask for a seal for general Ruan..."

Xue sun's face was not very good-looking, but he forced a smile to explain: "Qing'er, her grandfather has this meaning, after all, general Ruan has been a soldier all his life, even when But it's not up to Qing'er's grandfather. It depends on the meaning of Tianjia I hope you won't talk about it first. "

Autumn drag LAN and so on are called Nuo.

Xue Sun took Xue to see Ruan Ciyi in the room, and then left.

After she left, it was not early for Qiubo and qiuqian to see the sky. It was only because qiunie and Ruan Qingyan met that she came here. It was impossible to spend the night in the general's mansion and leave.

In the evening, Ruan Ciyi had a good rest, and his face was still a little yellow, but he insisted on coming to guard the spirit. Because Qiu Zhaolan was a granddaughter and was young, he was persuaded to lie down for a while.

Later, Qiulan asked dongran, "look, Xue Xiang is going to ask his grandfather to pursue him Is it true or not? "

Dongran is one of the most trusted and well-known servant girls in Ruan Qingyan. She thought for a moment and said: "it's a common practice for the heaven family to reward the old minister for his grace. But, old general, he... "

In that year's fiasco, empress Gu was furious! General Ruan has been neglected for so many years, and has no credit to the country or the Dynasty Why enjoy the pursuit?

"Maybe not." Autumn drag LAN pour another view, "Ding Yang two pinched to death, now Xue Xiang is also dragged into the water. I think the neutral party is eager to find something to draw the attention of the court and the field, so as to fight for a respite? "

"Do you mean?" said Dong ran

"My grandfather was dealt with by Empress Dowager Gu after his defeat." "Empress Jiang has always been happy to play with empress dowager Gu. Xue Xiang needs to calm down the disturbance that Ding Qingyan seduces Yang Yishi and refuses to be responsible for it, which leads to Yang Yishi's suicide in Ding's mansion. Moreover, his cousin is Xue Xiang's disciple, and Xue Xiang '

Dong ran thought about it and said, "that sounds like a good thing."

"I'm afraid to drag my cousin into Xue Xiang's trouble." Autumn drag LAN naturally know the meaning of her words, "but no matter what raft Xue Xiang made through his grandfather's death, next, cousin will always go back to Laizhou to be filial." In this way, we can avoid the storm in front of us.

Dong ran thinks so.

Return to green rose garden, autumn drag LAN sleep in the middle of the night, although still very sleepy, but afraid Ruan CI Yi can't stand, vaguely climb up to replace her.

Ruan Ciyi refused to open her eyes. "I was supposed to keep it. Go to sleep."

"My eldest cousin Fang trekked a few days ago. She fainted in the daytime. Let me take her place for a while. I'm sure there will be another female guest coming tomorrow. I need you to say hello. " Qiutiailan asks qiuran to drag her to sleep - Ruan Ciyi is in his prime, but he has been relegated for more than ten years and died three children in succession. Under this attack, his body can't be compared with that of qiutiailan.

However, after autumn traction LAN sent Ruan Ci's clothes away, he did not have a long time to support himself, so he fell into winter dye's arms to mend his sleep.

In the middle of this, she seemed to hear something moving outside. When she woke up at dawn, she casually asked, "someone was talking outside before?""The young master of the Fang family came to ask the eldest lady, and the servants coaxed him away." Winter dye road.

Autumn drag LAN a bit strange: "how so late, still let him run outside?"

"I think my uncle is tired and didn't go to see him. He wants to see his parents. " Winter dye road.

Qiu Tailan didn't care much about his nephew in name, but he said: "it's better to knock his servants around. Many rooms in the general's mansion are so dilapidated that they can't enter. There are several ponds in the mansion. Don't tell him to run out of order. "

"Winter dye nods:" maidservant will go to say

As a result, the general's house didn't have an accident because of Fang Zijun. Instead, it was the Fang's house. After noon the next day, Qiu ran raised the curtain to tell Ruan Ciyi and Qiu shailan: "the Fang's house sent his servants to look for the uncle and the eldest lady. It's said that it's aunt Yan's small birth. It's said that they ate the cakes sent back by the little prince last night."

Ruan Ciyi was shocked and lost color: "how can it be like this?"

Autumn drag LAN after stunned don't feel strange, thought: "that boy is not to do such a thing, just to see him in front of the cousin that pretends to be clever, how can so direct start?" Looking at Ruan Ciyi, who was shocked and angry, she jumped in her heart, "shouldn't it be to drag this big cousin into the water?"
