After leaving Lai Yi Zhai, Chen Xiuyan took Luo Mingxin and Princess Changshou to continue shopping. Although she was a little concerned about the Qi family's eldest grandma, it was not to the extent that it would affect her mood. After all, they were not familiar with each other, not to mention that the Qi family were two

The natal family of the prince's eldest wife, the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs, had problems only if they had a good relationship.

"We will never come to Lai Yi Zhai again." Princess Changshou said angrily, "And that concubine, what the hell..."

"Ahem -" Chen Xiuyan said in embarrassment. Ever since she lived in Prince Jin's Mansion, she was a good princess, and now her words had a rural tone. She had to reflect on this point, saying that she was not a concubine in front of her children, and still...

It’s not appropriate to have gadgets.

"Young master is right, you don't need to pay attention to those things." Eunuch Xia excused with a smile. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Princess Changshou saying that. On the contrary, he was very happy and liked to see such a lively little boy.

master.

Chen Xiuyan felt that her problem was actually not that big, and it was not entirely her problem.

"Those people don't need to be talked about. They are not worth talking about. Don't waste your time on irrelevant people in the future." Chen Xiuyan said.

"Okay." Princess Changshou nodded directly without any hesitation.

"The Crown Princess is absolutely right, she is much more meticulous than the old slave." Eunuch Xia rarely flattered him, "My young master has been improving day by day since he studied with the Crown Princess at the Jin Palace."

"Hmm, I can speak a lot of Tatar now." Princess Changshou said smugly, "I think Sister Xiuyan can speak Tatar better than Mr. Ruan. Every time Mr. Ruan teaches her well,

Sister Xiuyan will teach me and Mingxin again, so we can remember it completely."

She is obviously younger than Luo Mingxin, but because she is older than her, the way she calls people is funny.

"Hey, that's Mr. Ruan, right?" Princess Changshou said, pointing to a brown figure in the distance.

Chen Xiuyan and others looked up, and it was true that Ruan Yuanniang’s figure was nothing special, but her hair style was always the same, like a Taoist nun, it was tied into a round bun at the back of her head, and then a wooden hairpin was inserted into the bun.

The position of the wooden hairpin is almost the same every day. They have seen it so many times that they can recognize Ruan Yuanniang based on her back.

"It's true." Luo Mingxin agreed.

Chen Xiuyan was not looking at Ruan Yuanniang, but looked carefully at a woman walking with Ruan Yuanniang. That woman felt very inconsistent with Chen Xiuyan. She looked about the same height as Ruan Yuaniang when they stood together, but the ratio of her upper body to lower body was different.

Coordinated, the legs seem to be extra long and the upper body is very short.

Chen Xiuyan lowered her head and looked at the woman's feet that were covered by the skirt. The skirt was floating vaguely. Although most people wouldn't notice it, Chen Xiuyan could see the difference in the shoes at a glance. They were a pair of shoes with very thick soles.

Also explaining the incongruity, the woman wore similar modern thick-soled platform shoes.

Generally, no matter how short a person is, women in ancient times rarely wear such shoes. The most important thing is that there is no place to sell such shoes.

Chen Xiuyan walked towards the two of them. When she saw that the two of them were about to turn into an alley, she quickly called someone, "Mr. Ruan."

Chen Xiuyan's sharp eyes caught sight of the two people's backs who froze for a moment, but Ruan Yuanniang quickly turned around, with some surprise on her face. Chen Xiuyan was sure that Ruan Yuanniang heard her voice when she called someone.

"Concubine?" Ruan Yuanniang bowed her head and saluted Chen Xiuyan.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ruan by chance on the street. We are going to have a meal. Mr. Ruan, please come with us. Speaking of which, since I learned Chinese from Mr. Ruan, I haven't invited him to eat out yet." Chen Xiuyan said enthusiastically

He invited, and then looked at the woman standing half a step behind Ruan Yuanniang, covering almost half of her body, with curiosity on her face.

"Is this Mr. Ruan's friend? Is he also from Mingyue Pavilion?"

"No." Ruan Yuanniang shook her head with a smile, "This is my fellow villager and a native of Pianguan County."

"I don't know what to call her?" Chen Xiuyan looked at the woman wearing a green jacket and a gray skirt. From the front, some facial features could be seen clearly. They were not outstanding, but they were not ugly either. She just kept her head slightly lowered, which made Chen Xiuyan

Can't see her eyes clearly.

"Ruan Zhi." The woman raised her head and glanced at Chen Xiuyan quickly, then bowed her head and said blessing, "Greetings to the Crown Princess."

There was no fault in the etiquette of dealing with it, but Chen Xiuyan felt that Ruan Zhi's behavior was a bit stiff, and the word that kept pace with the times was mechanical.

"I guess this person can also speak Tatar." Chen Xiuyan smiled and started to communicate with Ruan Zhi in Tatar. "I heard that your Mandarin is a bit hard to pronounce. If you are not used to it, you can communicate in Tatar."

"Prince Princess, I am a fellow countryman who is in a hurry to return to her hometown. Her parents are seriously ill. They came here specifically to say goodbye to me today, so we can't have lunch together today. I'm sorry." Ruan Yuanniang took over the conversation and apologized.

"That's it, forget it. Let's eat and communicate together next time when we have a chance." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.

When Chen Xiuyan saw the other party turning around, she turned around without hesitation, "Mr. Ruan and her friends have something to do. Let's go eat by ourselves. We will eat with Mr. Ruan next time."

Chen Xiuyan smiled and talked to Luo Mingxin and Princess Changshou, and the group walked slowly towards the restaurant on the street.

"Yinxuan." Chen Xiuyan walked for a while and took advantage of the open space at the entrance of the street to call out the secret guard.

"Madam." Yinxuan, dressed in gray robe, walked out of the alley and passed by Chen Xiuyan naturally.

"Follow Ruan Yuanniang and Ruan Zhi, and then let Yinsu find out the details of the two of them." Chen Xiuyan quickly warned.

"Yes." Yinxuan responded and walked directly to the alley opposite, then disappeared to follow him without anyone noticing.

"The Crown Princess suspects that there is something wrong with those two people?" Eunuch Xia asked in a low voice.

"Ruan Yuanniang lied. That Ruan Zhi can't understand Tatar at all. She can't be from Pianguan County. Now I suspect that Ruan Yuanniang is not from Pianguan County either. Her Tatar dialect is not very authentic." Chen Xiuyan said, "If

I entered Mingyue Pavilion under the guise of household registration. I don’t know what the purpose is, so I have to investigate clearly.”

"This old slave also delivers a letter to the prince." Eunuch Xia said.

"Okay." Chen Xiuyan agreed. King Taiping had been fighting the Tatars for many years and had been camping in Pianguan County for many years. Not to mention other places, the news in Pianguan County must be easy to find out.

When Chen Xiuyan and her party arrived at the nearby Manxiangju, entered the private room on the second floor, and ordered the signature specialties, Yinxuan appeared, "Now Yinsu will keep an eye on it, and my subordinates will come back to report."

"The words Ruan Yuanniang and Ruan Zhi spoke to each other were not in Tatar or Chu dialect, and my subordinates could not understand them," Yinxuan replied truthfully.

"Can you repeat something?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

Yinxuan repeated one or two words. Although the words were difficult to pronounce, Chen Xiuyan immediately understood them, "Annan Mandarin."
