Seeing this, Jiu'er walked into Ruan Mianmian's bedroom and signaled the little maid to leave. She took the comb and gently combed Xiao Naituanzi's hair.
"Princess, have you asked the third lady? She made it clear."
"I understand." Ruan Mianmian's originally lazy expression suddenly changed, and a cold light shot out of his eyes, "Sister Jiu'er, I still want to trouble you about this matter."
"This is the duty that a servant should perform. Just give me the princess's orders."
Ruan Mianmian lowered her voice and whispered, and Jiu'er couldn't help laughing as she listened: "I understand."
"I'm just resting at home if I don't leave the house today. You don't have to follow me. You can go over there and check out the situation." Ruan Mianmian sat cross-legged on the couch, "I'll bask in the sun."
"Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely be able to handle it tonight." Jiu'er looked like he was watching a good show, "There will be a good show soon."
"Well, I still believe in Sister Jiu'er's ability." Ruan Mianmian yawned, "It's pleasant to sleep in the sun."
"My hair is still wet, so I can't sleep." Jiu'er turned around and covered Ruan Mianmian's legs with a thin quilt and handed over a book, "Read for a while first."
Ruan Mianmian took the scroll: "That's fine."
Jiu'er withdrew and specifically told the little maid waiting outside the door to work hard to serve the princesses.
At night, Ruan Mianmian was holding a book but was a little absent-minded. She looked outside from time to time. Sister Jiuer has been away for a long time, why hasn't she come back yet?
"Princess, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest." The little maid came in and said.
Ruan Mianmian shook his head: "I'm not sleepy, I'll rest later."
"Sister Jiu'er hasn't come back yet. How about I go ask Sister Shuang'er to stay on duty for the night?"
Originally, Shuang'er was on duty when Ruan Mianmian slept at night, but since Jiu'er came, she has been on duty at night.
Because Shuang'er was ordered by Ruan Mianmian to serve Zhou Yuning, if she wanted to stay on duty overnight, she would have to go and ask her to come.
"No need, Sister Jiu'er will be back soon." Ruan Mianmian ordered, "You all go down and have a rest."
"Princess, rest in peace. Your servant will be guarding the door until Sister Jiuer comes back."
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian raised his eyes and looked at the little maid. It was Hongyu who had just entered the smoke cage.
Zhou Yunning felt that Hongyu was too young at only ten years old, and did not want to send her to serve Ruan Mianmian. However, Ruan Mianmian said that she was too young to be carefree, so she finally agreed to let her serve her daughter.
Ruan Mianmian thought Hongyu looked quite clever before, but now it seems that although she is young, she is thoughtful.
"Okay, you don't have to wait outside the door, just sit down and accompany me." Ruan Mianmian did not refuse.
Ruan Mianmian recently thought that she would feel more at ease by letting Shuang'er serve her mother. She also planned to cultivate one or two confidants around her, and Hong Yu had caught her eye.
Since Ruan Mianmian had this intention, he would chat with Hongyu every now and then, just to get to know her from the side and see if she was someone he could use.
After half a stick of incense, the door was knocked twice and Jiu'er came back. Hongyun understood the situation very well and immediately got up and left.
After closing the door, Jiu'er turned around and grinned, and Ruan Mianmian also laughed.
"Is it going well?"
"very smooth."
The master and the servant looked at each other and smiled. Under the light, two figures, one tall and one low, could be seen from the window with their heads close to each other. They muttered for a long time before they separated. After a long time, the lights in the room were extinguished.
Things were going smoothly, and the next step was the second step. Ruan Mianmian lay on the bed with a smile on his lips.
My grandfather taught me not to be impatient in everything but to plan for it slowly. Thinking about a good show, Ruan Mianmian showed a calculating smile on his face. As he thought about it, his eyelids felt heavy and he slowly closed them. The little breast dumpling was still smiling in his sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Yunning and Ruan Mianmian went to pay their respects to the old lady. The little breast dumplings were spitting out lotus flowers, which made their grandmother very happy.
As always, after leaving her mother to accompany her grandmother, Ruan Mianmian went directly to the study to find her grandfather. Today it was Mu Mu, and the civil and military officials of the dynasty did not need to go to court in the morning. She had already made plans in her heart.
After a while, Mrs. Ruan and Zhou Yuning, who were chatting happily in the hall of Fu'an Hall, received a message from Xiao Naituanzi's messenger that her grandfather had taken her out of the house.
"It's true that the old man and the young man left just as they said." Mrs. Ruan said with a hint of complaint in her tone.
Zhou Yuning smiled and said, "I haven't heard Mianmian talk about leaving the house before."
Mrs. Ruan comforted her: "I don't know where the old man is taking Mianmian? But you don't have to worry as long as he is with you."
"I'm not worried about Mianmian going out with her father." Zhou Yunning shook her head, "I guess it's because Xiaonuituanzi is playful and pestering her grandfather to take her somewhere to play."
"Well, leave them alone." Mrs. Ruan looked outside and said, "Mother Yun, the weather is nice today. Let's go for a walk in the garden. You can have someone prepare it."
Mother Yun understood Mrs. Ruan's thoughts as soon as she heard this: "Slave, please prepare some refreshments in the pavilion in the lake. Would you like to take a rest when you are tired from walking later?"
"Okay, let's go to Lingyun Court and call Qingrou. There are exactly four of us plus you, and let the little maids prepare to mount the horse crane. Let's have a good time, drink tea, eat snacks and play horse crane.
"
"Okay, I'll go make arrangements right away." Grandma Yun smiled and got busy.
Jiu'er and the driver sat in the front, while Ruan Geng and Ruan Mianmian sat in the carriage.
Until the carriage left the Marquis Mansion, the old Marquis still didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd with little milk dumplings?
The coachman drove the carriage forward along the street in front of the door. Seeing that there was a fork in the road ahead, the carriage slowly stopped.
Without waiting for Jiu'er to ask, Ruan Mianmian lightly clicked the wooden board of the carriage near the front and shouted in a loud voice: "Go to the Ministry of Industry."
Hearing these three words, Ruan Geng immediately understood: "Well, you Ruan Mianmian, you just thought of it and didn't tell me in advance."
"There's no need to tell it in advance. I just went to the Ministry of Industry to understand the situation. It's not a big deal."
"Since it's no big deal, why did you kidnap me, an old man?"
"Anyway, grandpa is also idle when he is idle."
"Haha, I have to accompany you to mess around when you have nothing to do?" Ruan Geng put his hands on his chest, "According to what you said, it will be the same if you go with me or without me."
Ruan Mianmian looked at Ruan Geng with a smile on his face and rolled his eyes: "There is really no difference."
"Okay, I'll stay in the carriage later, and I want to see if it makes any difference if the old man like me goes or not?" Ruan Geng was full of confidence.
Grandparents and grandsons are becoming more and more harmonious, and bickering has become their daily way of getting along. Older and younger, the older the younger, the younger the younger. The old man has learned many tricks from Xiaonaituanzi, the most common of which is playing devil's advocate and pitting each other against each other.
.
She frowned, her grandfather did it on purpose, and Xiaonuituanzi knew it, but she was not in a hurry. This chapter has been completed!
