Little Fujin

Woke up early and it rained, pattering the flowering branches, knocking down the newly bloomed flowers.From a distance, it looks like fog, surrounded by tall trees.

Mama Cao made sesame fire, which is much more troublesome than ordinary fire. The noodles are rolled with oil and salt layer by layer, first baked and then baked. The middle of the final fire is slightly arched, and a little bit of sesame is sprinkled on the burnt yellow back. , not only delicate but also fragrant.

Lin Ruan held the fire in one hand and drank the porridge in the other.Cao's mother smiled when she saw it, "Little Ruan has met something good, the food is so delicious."

Lin Ruan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mama Cao's cooking is delicious."

Mama Cao beamed with a few words of coaxing, Zhan Xi glanced at Lin Ruan, but said nothing.Lin Ruan was like a happy little rabbit, with a smile on his face all the time. Although he didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was very happy.

After eating, Lin Ruan took his schoolbag and went out. Zhan Xi stopped him and said, "I'll see you off."

Lin Ruan was taken aback, not only him, Shining was also a little surprised.

Zhan Xi didn't say much, she took her coat and walked to Lin Ruan's side, and went out with him.

Leaving Shining alone to think, am I about to lose my job?

Lin Ruan got into the co-pilot, and Zhan Xi started the car and left the Lan mansion slowly. The ginkgo trees on both sides of the road grew branches and leaves again, and the tender green leaves swayed slightly in the pattering rain.

"Why did you come to send me to school, sir?" Lin Ruan looked at Zhan Xi and asked tentatively, "Is this the privilege of a boyfriend?"

Zhan Xi seemed to be smiling, and said, "Yes."

Lin Ruan just laughed, and the tips of her ears turned red. Although the relationship between the two of them was not too different from before, Lin Ruan just felt that it was different. The tip of the tongue is sweet.

When the car stopped at the school gate, Zhan Xi rubbed Lin Ruan's hairy head, "Go."

Lin Ruan got out of the car, holding a black umbrella, waved to Zhan Xi and walked into the school.

Zhanxi parked the car on the side of the road and watched Lin Ruan walk into the school.In Zhan Xi's circle, Lin Ruan is always very silent, listening to all kinds of anecdotes in this circle as if listening to a story.And after leaving this circle, he is obviously a very good person.Among so many students, Lin Ruan's temperament made him easy to be seen at a glance.

Zhan Xi supported her head and looked at Lin Ruan's back. A few girls walked by the car, chatting and laughing about Lin Ruan.In a place Zhan Xi didn't know, Lin Ruan was also the center of topic for many people.

The afternoon class was Western History, and the professor who took the class asked for leave, so Lin Ruan was able to leave school early.

Meng Zhen walked out of the school gate together with him, and said, "Li Mingwen gave me the money for the bracelet."

Lin Ruan was a little surprised, "800 yuan, where did he get the money?"

"No," Meng Zhen said, "Give me 320 yuan, and he said he asked for 650 yuan in the jade shop, and he only took half of the responsibility, so he gave half the price."

Meng Zhen pouted, "I didn't want it at first, but he looked at us like villains and robbers every day, for fear that we would ask him for money. That day I heard a few classmates talking behind their backs that we bullied him, otherwise why would he see us? If we do, we will hide."

"So I thought, this matter should be done quickly." Meng Zhen said, "Otherwise, I don't know how others will arrange us."

Lin Ruan comforted him, "It's not worth getting angry over such a person... Speaking of which, where did he get the money?"

"I don't know," Meng Zhen said, "I think he must have gotten rich recently, and he has replaced his clothes and shoes with new ones. I also heard that he wants to invite someone to dinner."

Meng Zhen sighed, "Should I say it or not, Li Mingwen is really good at earning money independently. If I can earn money like him after graduation, I don't need to rely on my family."

Meng Zhen thought about it for a while, and asked, "What about you, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

Lin Ruan glanced at Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen realized, "Yes, you already have a job. The treatment in Lan Mansion is so good, you definitely don't plan to change jobs."

Lin Ruan was a little helpless, "You think really long-term."

When Lin Ruan got home, Zhan Xi hadn't come back yet, so he was afraid to ask him to be the director of the Finance Bureau to implement the issue of banknotes.Zhan Xi didn't agree, and it was a rule he set for himself not to be involved in political affairs.But out of emotion and reason, Zhanxi has to help with the issue of banknotes.

Tong Bo moved a pot of hydrangea into the house from the backyard, saw Lin Ruan, and said, "Why did you come back so early?"

"The professor has asked for leave, and the afternoon class will not be held."

Tong Bo responded, and asked Mama Cao to get Lin Ruan something to eat, and then went back to fiddle with his own flowers and plants.

"By the way," Tong Bo said, "Master has brought you a lot of satin to make clothes, you go and choose."

"Okay." Lin Ruan replied while walking upstairs.

After dinner, Lin Ruan entered the small living room, and the tailor had just arrived.Ah Yue also followed, "Didn't I just make clothes, why are you making them again?"

Unable to speak to Lin Ruan, Ah Yue let out an "ouch" and said, "These are all good satin."

Ah Yue sat down on the chair, looked at Lin Ruan with a smile, and said, "Master is so kind to you."

Everyone in the Lan Mansion knew who Lin Ruan was. Although they didn't say it clearly, they always had many guesses about the relationship between Lin Ruan and Zhan Xi.Ah Yue thinks that Lin Ruan is a very nice person. As Zhan Xi's wife, it's better to be someone who doesn't know his temperament.

Cao Ma, just like Tong Bo, thinks that Lin Ruan's status is not high enough.Although outsiders talk about free love, the elders of the older generation always demand a match.

"Not only do I do it," Lin Ruan said, "Sir also makes clothes. He's busy and doesn't have time to come in person, so let me look at some."

Ah Yue nodded and helped Lin Ruan choose the fabric, "In spring, you should wear some colorful clothes to show your complexion."

Lin Ruan shook her head, "There is no man who dresses flamboyantly."

"That's because they don't look good," Ah Yue compared Lin Ruan with a piece of snow-blue cloth, "This one is good, it's not fancy, it looks generous."

Ah Yue picked it up, put it down again, and picked up a piece of ochre-colored satin, which was embroidered with silver-blue patterns. At first glance, it looked like a print, but it was actually embroidery.

Ah Yue held the fabric in her hand, looked at Lin Ruan, and asked with a smile, "Did you wear that red cheongsam last time?"

Lin Ruan glanced at Ah Yue, "I knew it was your fault."

"Have you worn it yet?" Ah Yue asked urgently.

Lin Ruan lowered her head, "No."

Ah Yue snorted and said, "You really should try it. Now, women's clothes are more colorful, but men's clothes don't have to be as gorgeous as before. They are black, blue and gray when they are worn, which is so good in spring." What a spoiled scene these days. According to me, you can make a few more bright-coloured ones and wear them at home, won’t you?”

"Uncle Tong will talk about me when he sees him."

Ah Yue laughed and said, "As long as Master likes it, Uncle Tong won't say it."

Ah Yue pulled over a piece of satin embroidered with silver patterns on a navy blue background. The satin has a shiny surface and looks gorgeous.She handed the satin to the tailor and said, "Just use this piece of satin to make a dress."

Ah Yue picked several horses in a row, all of which were gorgeous in color such as silver red and black gold.She knows the color matching of clothes and so on, and she talked very lively with the tailor.

Lin Ruan couldn't talk to her, so she changed the subject and asked, "How are you and your boyfriend doing?"

Ah Yue paused, lowered her head and smiled, "It's pretty good."

Lin Ruan looked at Ah Yue, "What are you doing together?"

Ah Yue lowered her head a little embarrassed, "Going to the park, going to the movies, going to the theater, eating, it's nothing more than these things." She thought for a while, then smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter what you do, the important thing is being together."

Lin Ruan nodded thoughtfully.

The equation gave Lin Ruan a lot of architectural materials. Lin Ruan was free in the afternoon, so he stayed in the room to ponder these materials. The table was full of his drawings.

There was movement outside the window, Lin Ruan took a look and found that it was Zhanxi and Shining who had returned.

Lin Ruan was overjoyed, put down his pen and pushed open the door to go downstairs. He walked in a hurry, but stopped when he reached the first floor.Tong Bo, who came out, glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhanxi opened the door and came in, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Ruan standing at the stairs. Lin Ruan walked over and took Zhanxi's coat.Zhan Xi didn't speak, but when she lowered her head to adjust her cuffs, she glanced at Lin Ruan.He has good facial features, and when he looked down at him, the tails of his eyes were raised, which seemed vague.

Lin Ruan followed Zhanxi upstairs.

While watching, Tong Bo said to Shining, "It's really rare for Lin Ruan to be so active."

Shining smiled and helped Tong Bo to sit down, and said: "There will be more active ones in the future."

It was a cloudy day, and it rained from time to time.On the wide corridor outside the house, there are lanterns in the style of palace lanterns, and the raindrops are clearly visible.When it was time to rest, Tong Bo checked around.He went back to the house, and the rest of the people basically went back to the room.He was just about to turn off the light in the living room, when he heard movement upstairs, Tong Bo looked, but it was Zhanxi who came downstairs.

Tong Bo hurried over and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhan Xi didn't ask for anything, he handed a list to Uncle Tong, and said, "I remember these things in the old rules, but I can't remember clearly, let you have a look."

Tong Bo took it to look at it, and saw a list from top to bottom, which didn't look like a gift list.

It says silk, satin, fur, gold, silver, pearls and jade, and the number of each display is clear. The rest also says three dendrobiums of oriental pearls, a box of red and sapphires, six pairs of jadeite and white jade bracelets.Seeing this, Tong Bo remembered, this is like Xiao Ding's gift list.

Tong Bo looked at Zhan Xi and asked, "Who is this for?"

"To Lin Ruan." Zhan Xi leaned on the railing of the stairs, as if he couldn't see the surprise in Tong Bo's eyes, "He doesn't need things like headgear, he can replace them with gold, silver or antiques."

Tong Bodao: "Lin Ruan doesn't have enough status, how can he be worthy of being a Fujin?"

Zhan Xi said slowly, "It's not that time now, high or low status doesn't matter. Speaking of which, he was raised by our family, and he is also from the Lan Mansion when he is taken outside. Why is his family status not enough?"

Tong Bo was helpless, "That's not what I said..."

"Uncle Tong," Zhan Xi interrupted him.

Tong Bo sighed, and said, "Not to mention that Lin Ruan is a man, what will happen to you and his heirs in the future?"

"What do you think?" Zhanxi asked.

Tong Bo hesitated for a while before expressing his intention, "Now my master and Lin Ruan are both young, so it's okay if we like to stay together. Wouldn't it be nice for a wife to have a child and take care of the house for the grandfather?"

If the emperor was still there before, Lin Ruan's path would definitely be better than being an aunt in Zhanxi's backyard.

Zhan Xi smiled, "I'm afraid it won't work, since Lin Ruan is my roommate, there is no such thing as marrying a wife and having children."

Tong Bo was taken aback, and Zhan Xi said: "I don't like women, and I don't care about children. In this world, there is no need to think too much about the future." Zhan Xi looked at Tong Bo, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but I I know what I'm doing, I know what I'm doing."

The corner of Tong Bo's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything after all. He put away the gift list and said, "I see. I'll take care of this, and I will definitely satisfy the Lord."
