Regarding Ruan Yuanyi's rescue of Tang Qingyun and "having to" take her as his concubine, Kong Luhua couldn't laugh or cry when she received Ruan Yuan's letter in Hangzhou.

"Sister Shuzhi, look at our husband. He asked him to go out incognito for a private visit. In the blink of an eye, he brought back a concubine. He also said that she was an orphan girl who was going to be sold to a brothel. If he thinks so, then what will happen in the nursery?

There are some girls who don’t know where they are going. Otherwise, we can simply dismantle the north gate of the nursing home, expand it all the way to the nursery, and take all the orphan girls into our homes as concubines. Wouldn’t that be convenient?"

"Haha, madam, it's really interesting." Liu Wenru couldn't help but laugh a little, but Kong Luhua was about to give birth, so she had to comfort her and said: "But don't worry too much, madam. This girl from the Tang family, I heard from the master, is also from a scholar's family, and she wants to come and join her."

There is nothing wrong with joining our Ruan family. As for her character, otherwise, Yuezhuang and I will go and see her more first and help Madam test it out. If she has a bad character, we can help Madam.

I think there is no problem. Madam is going to give birth in the next few days, and taking care of yourself is the first priority, right?"

"Alas...it seems this has to be the case." Kong Luhua could only succumb to reality.

A few days later, Kong Luhua successfully gave birth to a daughter. Before she went out, she discussed the name of the child with Ruan Yuan. She said that if it was a girl, she would pray for her to have a safe life, so she named the child Ruan An. Ruan An was born delicate and cute.

Kong Luhua looked at her biological child with great affection, so she naturally let go of the concubine matter a lot.

At this time, Ruan Yuanshang was in Zhapu to deal with the matter of the four governors' joint petition. He was not allowed to return home for a while, so he informed Jiang Er and asked him to take Tang Qingyun back to Hangzhou first. That day, after traveling south by boat, Tang Qingyun finally arrived at Zhejiang Fuyuan, and she also

I asked Jiang Er and thought of going to visit the three daughters of the Ruan family first. But it happened to be an unlucky day. Kong Luhua had an appointment with several other gentlemen and ladies, while Liu Wenru and Xie Xue went to the nursery, but there was no one at home, so Tang Qingyun had to go first.

After paying homage to Ruan Chengxin, he was led by two servants to familiarize himself with the situation in the courtyard.

Looking at the majesty of the hall in the front yard and the well-proportioned Ruan family in the backyard, and the servants in the house who were polite and not formal, she liked it in her heart. Especially on this day, there were more than ten porters who came to Ruan's house with her.

Heavy objects hire workers, heavy objects are transparent and bright, but for a moment I don’t know what they are.

Tang Qingyun was only fifteen years old at the time. When he was still innocent, he saw the elegant appearance of the Ruan family and couldn't help but admire him. At this moment, a soft and soft voice like his own suddenly came from behind his ears: "This

Sister, are you the girl from the Tang family who came from Suzhou as the master said? Look at you, you are really cute."

When Tang Qingyun turned back to look at that person, he saw a woman behind him dressed as a young woman, with a gentle appearance and a bit of immaturity. It was Xie Xue. At this time, Xie Xue was only 21 years old, and among the other girls in the Ruan family, she was the same age as Tang Qingyun.

The closest thing is that when Tang Qingyun met this young sister, he naturally felt close to her. He hurriedly smiled at Xie Xue and said: "Yes, sister, are you also Governor Ruan's side chamber? You look so beautiful! Sister, if so

When you have free time in the future, why don't you come and play with me? My sister seems to be the dearest!"

"Really?" Xie Xue saw the innocence and cuteness of this new concubine, and she also felt fond of her in her heart. Within the Ruan family, Kong Luhua and Liu Wenru were similar in age, so they spent a lot of time talking and playing together, but the two

They were good friends with each other, but often forgot about Xie Xue. Only when the three of them enjoyed poems and painted paintings together could Xie Xue participate. Now seeing that he had an extra playmate at home, how could he not be happy? He smiled and said, "But I don't know.

Sister, what do you like to play? If my sister can do it, I will definitely play with you! I also have a one-year-old child. If my sister likes it, come and see him. He is very cute!"

"I...I'm going to be a aunt?" Tang Qingyun was quite surprised to hear that Xie Xue already had a child. However, seeing the Ruan family's hired workers carrying the transparent heavy object back and forth, he became puzzled again and asked:

"But sister, is there any happy event in this house today? There are many people moving here and there. What are they moving?"

"That, it's called glass." Xie Xue said: "My sister heard that she is from Suzhou. There are many people in Suzhou who wear glasses. Isn't it made of glass? But this kind of glass is used to make windows. Previously, my wife

He said that the original paper window did not transmit light well, and reading with the window closed was not good for the eyes over time. With this glass window, sunlight can shine directly in every day, and reading is much more convenient! The previous husband and wife

The bedroom was replaced with a glass window. This time my husband happened to be away, so I thought of replacing it with a glass window in the study room, so that I don’t have to worry about eye pain when I can read and write in the future!"

Thinking of this, there seems to be something interesting. Xie Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "When my wife was pregnant, she wrote a poem about glass windows. Well, let me think about it, it should be...Flowers flying in the sky, jade mirror empty

, the sparse shadows are exquisite. The autumn water floats with bright colors, and the glow is separated by the evening breeze. The sky is full of silver and silver, and the moon shines on the blue sky. The embroidered curtains are lightly rolled, and the incense sticks and candles reflect the red. How about it, Madam's poem is good, isn't it?" Look at Tang Qingyun

At that moment, I saw a strange light gradually emitting from her eyes, as if she had a close friend who had been hard to find for many years, and who once had a good friend by her side.

"The embroidered curtains are lightly rolled, the incense candles are sold in red..." Tang Qingyun chanted and said happily: "Madam's poems are so beautiful... Sister, you are saying that Madam likes to compose poems, right?"

"Yes, Madam and Master are both good at poetry. They even gave us words to use when we compose poems." Xie Xue said.

"Sister, this is really great!" Tang Qingyun said happily: "When my father was still alive, he also taught me to write poems, and I also wrote many poems. When I was a child, I saw that adults all like to use a different font size when writing poems, so I

I secretly named one Gu Xia... Hehe, actually, neither father nor mother knows about it."

"Really? Sister, my name is Yuezhuang? You said, you and I have moon in one word, and rosy clouds in the other word. The moon and the rosy clouds... God wants us to be sisters!" Xie Xuejian

Tang Qingyun even shared his interests in writing poems, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Yuezhuang, who are you chatting with so happily? Huh? Are you..." Xie Xue and Tang Qingyun were chatting happily. Another young woman came over from the east room. The young woman was pretty and handsome.

She was also much more mature than Xie Xue, and naturally it was Liu Wenru. That day, the two girls went to the nursery together to help count the handyman wages, and happened to go back to Ruan's house one after the other. Xie Xue and Tang Qingyun were chatting happily when they saw Liu Wenru coming over.

He also introduced Tang Qingyun to Liu Wenru, and also told Tang Qingyun about Liu Wenru's "book".

Liu Wenru heard that Tang Qingyun could compose poems, and seeing how well-behaved she was, she liked her in her heart. She smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that our new sister is also a little poet. It just so happened that Madam mentioned that she was composing poems at home a few days ago.

There are only a few people here, so I wanted to have a few more people to help with the fun, and my sister happened to be here. From now on, we will recite poems and make pairs, and it will be lively! Madam always talks about verses and couplets, and the three of us sisters each come up with one sentence. This is still one sentence missing.

Now that I have Sister Gu Xia, I won’t have to worry about couplets in the future!”

"Well! Thank you Sister Shu!" Tang Qingyun also smiled at Liu Wenru. But at this time, Tang Qingyun also suddenly remembered that when he was at home, he often heard people talk about some aristocratic families having many concubines, and wives and concubines often competing for favor.

Even when the concubines were fighting each other, I felt a little worried for a moment, and hurriedly said to Liu Wenru and Xie Xue: "Sister Shu, Sister Yuezhuang, I... I was taken into the house by Mr. Ruan, and I am definitely not competing with the two sisters for favor.

I... even if Mr. Ruan wants to be with me in the future... I will give it to my sisters, I..."

When Liu Wenru and Xie Xue heard Tang Qingyun's words, they were stunned at first. It took them a long time to react, and they laughed out loud.

"Sister, what are you worried about?" Liu Wenru said with a smile: "Actually, in this family, the master has always treated us as family members. We all came to this family because of our life experiences. We have never been in this family before.

Have you ever thought about fighting for favor?"

"Yes." Xie Xue couldn't hide her smile and said: "And if we and the master have... or something, it will be with the approval of the master? When you come to this house, we will only treat you as

Sister, just write poetry and paint with us, as for the rest, we don’t mind.”

"Thank you very much, sisters, but I don't know what Madam thinks of me. Sisters, I must be obedient at home, and Madam won't scold me, right?" Tang Qingyun said obediently, it seems that

, she still has some concerns about Kong Luhua, whom she has never met.

"I'll tell you about Madam's side." Liu Wenru saw that Tang Qingyun was cute and sensible, and was very respectful to himself and Xie Xue, so he naturally felt relieved and said: "Actually, I know Madam's character. Although Madam often talks to us,

We quarreled and joked with the wife, but she treated us like real sisters, especially now that the wife also has An'er, but she is extremely gentle. If you take the initiative to meet the wife and spend more time with the wife's An'er, the wife will naturally

She likes you. If she knew that you also liked to compose poetry, wouldn’t she treat you as her own sister?"

"Well, Sister Shu is so nice!" Tang Qingyun said with a smile. Seeing her sweet smile and pure person, Liu Wenru and Xie Xue naturally had no doubts and recognized this sister in their hearts.

Kong Luhua didn't return home until noon that day. After returning home, she fed Ruan An as usual. She heard that Ruan Yuan's mother, Lin, breastfed Ruan Yuan herself when she gave birth to Ruan Yuan, so she only found one wet nurse, and

She took turns feeding Ruan An. After Ruan An was full of milk, she gradually fell asleep in the cradle. Kong Luhua thought about arranging for hired workers to come into the house to install the glass in the morning, go out to enjoy tea in the morning, and be busy taking care of Ruan An at noon. In the afternoon

, but also a little tired, so he leaned on the side of the bed, ready to take a nap.

I don't know how much time passed, but Kong Luhua vaguely heard the sound of children's songs. The children's songs had a sweet tone, but a clear rhythm, which was like Xie Xue's Suzhou accent. But after careful identification, it was not Xie Xue.

Just listen to the endless melodious sounds of Jiangnan, singing:

"Shake and shake until I reach Grandma Bridge. Grandma calls me a good baby. I have one steamed bun, one piece of cake, one bag of candy, and one bag of fruit..."

When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange girl beside Ruan An's cradle. She was looking at Ruan An and smiling softly, but she was not Xie Xue.

"Girl, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" Kong Luhua also asked the girl softly.

"Madam, my surname is Tang and my name is Qingyun..." the girl replied without knowing it. Suddenly, the girl was startled and she knelt down in front of Kong Luhua and said: "Madam, it was my fault. I shouldn't have done it."

Just go into the madam's bedroom to see the young lady. Madam, I just saw the young lady sleeping cutely outside, and I couldn't help but be curious, so...please Madam punish the little girl!"

"Get up now, my family members don't need to salute like this." Kong Luhua said with a smile: "I know my house well. The glass windows were changed a few days ago and curtains are used at night. Just now I just wanted to take a nap, so

I didn’t lower the curtain, so it doesn’t matter if you saw it? Also, you said your surname is Tang... you are the concubine that the master took, right?"

"Madam, I...is like this." Although Tang Qingyun stood up, he was still a little worried and hurriedly added: "But madam, I have just met two sisters. I know the rules in the family. Master Ruan and Madam are

I will never have any selfish motives for the couple of gods and immortals. As for other things, I...I will also listen to Madam!"

"Sister, how old are you this year?" Kong Luhua smiled when she saw that Tang Qingyun was so afraid of herself.

"I...I was born in the 53rd year of Qianlong's reign. This year..."

"So, my sister is only fifteen years old?" Kong Luhua said: "You are still young. If I really ask you and the master to do something, I'm afraid it won't be good for you. Otherwise, I will write to you first

"Sister, sister Yuezhuang, let's be friends together. It's not too late to wait until you grow up to talk about other things. I read in Master's letter that your family is also a family of scholars, but I don't know how you are doing in your studies?" She said.

Originally, when I saw Ruan Yuan's letter, I didn't have much ill will towards the daughter of a scholar like Tang Qingyun. I just thought that Ruan Yuan's sympathy was too overflowing, so I couldn't help but ridicule him. After giving birth to Ruan An, I became a little more loving.

In my heart, I saw that Tang Qingyun himself was well-behaved and docile. Even if there was still a little wariness in his heart, all of it was naturally dissipated at this time.

"Well... I have read the "Four Books", but it is still not as good as Mrs. Wan Yi. Madam's poems are so good, I... I can't do them," Tang Qingyun said.

"Can you also compose poetry?" Kong Luhua suddenly became interested.

"Well... the embroidered curtains are lightly rolled, and the incense candles are shining red. Madam, I just saw this glass window, but I can't think of such a sentence. Madam is not only a kind person, but also a person who knows and loves beauty."

Judging from Tang Qingyun's appearance, these words clearly reveal his true feelings.

"Well, it's just a casual writing. Haha, but you don't know that after reading the poems I wrote, Master always said that I write poems casually." Kong Luhua said with a smile: "But sister, you said you can also do it.

Poetry, do you have any poems for me to listen to? Maybe we can make some progress by teaching each other in the future?"

"Well... when I was playing chess last year, I actually wrote a song that made Madam laugh. It was...Binumafeng and Xiaolucan, making tea and relaxing next to the langan. The secret knowledge of the strategy is determined by the scale, and the victory or defeat is appropriate.

From the outside, the flowers and shadows all over the body are still looking for children, and every time the sun passes by, I forget to eat. I love him so much that I am completely infatuated, and I look at him with a smile after all." Tang Qingyun thought.

"Haha, I heard you sing beautifully, but I didn't know that you are also an irregular person when it comes to writing poetry. These words of 'secret conspiracy' and 'ultimate smile' are completely different from your appearance.

!" Kong Luhua thought that her poetry diction was extremely mature, but it also made sense, and she felt a little closer to her in her heart.

"Madam, I just saw a lot of words in reading, but I don't know what the rules are..." Tang Qingyun muttered.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, when I write poems, I don't care about any rules. Sister, since you can also write poems, when I recover, we will set up a poetry club to compete. Come on.

Sometimes we don't talk about any rules, we just write out our favorite poems. Hum, some people always laugh at us for not following the rules when writing poems, but we also laugh at their rules. Writing poetry is a matter of temperament.

If you just stick to the rules, wouldn't it be contrary to your temperament?" Kong Luhua said.

"Well, thank you madam!" Tang Qingyun felt happy when he heard that he had many more playmates to write poems with. He looked at Ruan An, who was still sleeping soundly at the side, and smiled unconsciously:

"Madam, the young lady looks lovely. She will be as beautiful as the madam in the future."

"Really? It was because you sang so beautifully just now that she slept so cutely." In this way, with the unanimous approval of the three Ruan women, Tang Qingyun quickly integrated into the Ruan family.

A few days later, Ruan Yuan also returned to Hangzhou. It happened that Jiao Xun had finished his travels in the north and arrived at Fuyuan with Ruan Yuan. Ruan Yuan did not care about Jiao Xun's failure, but held a banquet for him to celebrate his return.
