Wen Tingzhou looked at Ruan Ruan Shuirun's red face and red ears, really wanting to take a bite, and fearing to scare Ruan Ruan, he calmed his mind and touched the tip of her nose affectionately.
"Ruan Ruan, I will take you to see grandma."
Ruan Xi blushed and let go of his hand, gently pushing him, and then replied, "Okay."
Wen Tingzhou gave a low smile, changed from hugging to holding her soft little hand and leaving the small garden.
When they stepped out of the small garden, they saw Zhang Qing guarding the small intersection and two tall black guards.
Zhang Qing saw the son and Miss Ruan Si coming out, and quickly greeted them.
"Zhang Qing, why are you here?" Wen Tingzhou saw Zhang Qing and his two guards a little strange.
Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "The son, the fourth young lady, it was the lady who asked the minions to come over."
"Mother is looking for me for something?" Wen Tingzhou was surprised.
Zhang Qing shook his head and said hesitantly: "No, the lady is just afraid that the son will forget the time."
Wen Tingzhou: "..."
Ruan Xi pursed her lips and smirked.
On the way to the main courtyard, Ruan Xi asked Zhang Qing about Mu Qingci's follow-up gossip.
"Fourth Miss, the matter you asked has now spread all over the world. Everyone knows that Miss Mu deliberately used the means to destroy herself and rely on the Fourth Prince, and her reputation was ruined. Therefore, Miss Mu now faces two choices, one It was the fourth prince who agreed to accept her as a concubine, and the other was that the fourth prince did not agree, and that Miss Mu had to twist her hair to become an aunt."
Zhang Qing told what he knew.
Ruan Xi silently sympathized with the heroine who was smashed by Ruan Sanniang. This reputation was ruined.
Ruan Sanniang really committed a crime.
"The Mu family is the family of Princess Mu. For the sake of the face of the Mu family, that lady Mu, even a concubine, will enter the backyard of the fourth princes and won't hang her hair as an aunt." Wen Tingzhou suddenly said.
"Well, I'm the same as you think." Of course, Ruan Xi knew that the heroine Mu Qingci would enter the backyard of the Fourth Prince. She believed that the fourth prince would not anger Mu Qingci for no reason.
The Mu family is an exception.
The two tacitly did not mention Mu Qingling, Mu Qingling's improper behavior at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wen, and Wen Tingyi, whom he belonged to, would take this opportunity to resolve the marriage.
Zhang Qing silently watched the increasingly natural and intimate interaction between Young Master and Miss Ruan Si, and was very happy.
"By the way, Mrs. Qin said that Miss Ruan San pulled Miss Mu's arm, and Miss Mu accidentally ran into the arms of the fourth prince, but no one believed that Miss Ruan San had a good relationship with Miss Mu, and everyone thought it was Miss Mu's instruction. "Zhang Qing continued.
Ruan Xi was stunned that Ruan Sanniang, who was the culprit, was actually washed white.
The heroine has become a deep-hearted, unscrupulous person.
The rumors are really outrageous.
Wen Tingzhou squeezed Ruan Xi's palm: "Which is right and wrong, the four princes are clear in their hearts."
Zhang Qing: "..."
The son's words seemed to be meaningful.
Along the way, Ruan Xi met many noble ladies and young masters from aristocratic families, and everyone was wise to avoid them.
The main courtyard where Mrs. Wen lives is low-key and elegant, but exquisite and delicate.
Ruan Xi saw Mother Yang and Suyu chatting with the gatekeeper and a few unknown maid mothers at the gate of Mrs. Wen's main courtyard. The three hurriedly saluted after seeing Ruan Xi and Wen Tingzhou.
Ruan Xi smiled and nodded. Without talking to them, he was taken into the main courtyard by Wen Tingzhou.
Zhang Qing and two dumb black guards stayed at the gate.
Mrs. Wen rested for a while. She was sitting on the couch and reading the scriptures. She looked very energetic. She raised her head when she heard the noise of the curtain, and smiled when she saw that the grandson and his fiancee were coming.
Ruan Xi hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Ruan Xi greets the old lady."
Wen Tingzhou also greeted his grandmother.
Old Mrs. Wen smiled and waved to Ruanxi and Wen Tingzhou and said, "Ruan girl, Tingzhou, come and sit, Mama Lin, have tea."
"Yes, old lady." Mother Lin served tea to the two with a big smile.
Ruan Xi was flattered when he heard Mrs. Wen calling her Ruan girl intimately. After thanking Mrs. Wen, he sat on the embroidered pier next to the couch and looked at the scriptures in Mrs. Wen's hands inadvertently, slightly startled.
It was actually the Huayan Sutra she copied.
Seeing Ruan Yatou saw the scriptures in her hand, Mrs. Wen smiled slightly and praised: "The scriptures Ruan Yatou copied are quite good. It feels comfortable to read it, so it can be seen that she has used her heart."
The scriptures are beautiful and graceful, and there is a sense of tranquility and peace between the lines, without a hint of impetuousness.
It can be seen that Ruan girl is elegant in nature and calm in her heart. Mrs. Wen had a good impression of Ruan Xi, but she is even better now.
Ruan Xi held the tea cup that Lin's mother handed over, and smiled a little shyly: "The old lady is absurd.
Wen Tingzhou sipped a sip of tea with a look of Rong Yan. His grandmother had studied the scriptures for decades, and she had seen hand-copied scriptures. Ruan Ruan received good comments from her grandmother.
"Grandma, I said Ruan Ruan is a good girl, do you believe it now?"
Ruan Xi blushed and bowed his head to take a sip of tea. No one praised his fiancee so much in front of his elders.
But she found that Big Brother Ting Zhou looked different in front of his close elders.
Feeling novel in my heart.
The same is true in front of Mrs. Wen, and the same is true in front of Mrs. Wen.
Old Mrs. Wen saw her grandson's appearance, and looked at the shy look of Girl Ruan, secretly funny, she didn't know how careful he was, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
"You have a good eye. Girl Ruan is indeed a good girl."
As soon as this was said, the maid in the room immediately glanced at Ruan Xigao.
With the words of the old lady, Miss Ruan Si's status in the Wen family has improved.
Wen Tingzhou glanced at Ruan Ruan, who was drinking tea with his head down. His eyes were full of smiles. His grandmother said Ruan Ruan was a good girl. Who would dare to pick Ruan Ruan's character in the future.
Wen Tingzhou's good intentions, Ruan Xi only thought of it for a while, and a sweet bubble appeared in his heart.
Although there is no ambiguity between the two, the flowing atmosphere makes the people around them feel like they are superfluous.
Old Mrs. Wen shook her head silently, getting old and old. She used to worry that Tingzhou's grandson would die alone, but now she seems to be worried for nothing.
"Girl Ruan, come next to me."
Ruan Xi quickly handed the tea cup in his hand to the maid next to him, got up and stood beside Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen took off the red sandalwood bead string she was wearing on her wrist, pulled Ruan Xi's left hand without a bracelet, and put the bead on her fair wrist.
"Girl Ruan, this string of beads was opened by a high monk and has been with me for more than ten years. I will give it to you today."
Mrs. Wen had prepared another precious first-to-face meeting as a gift, but now she met Ruan Xi but changed her mind temporarily and gave Ruan Xi the Buddhist beads she had worn for more than ten years.
The maids and mothers around could not hide their shock, and the old lady actually sent out the string of Buddhist beads.
Ruan Xi looked at the smooth and round patina of the red sandalwood beads on her wrist, and knew that this was a special meeting ceremony. She thanked her generously.
"Thank you for the old lady's love, Ruan Xi will take good care of this string of Buddhist beads."
Mrs. Wen quite liked Ruan Xi's temperament, patted her hand, and laughed again and again: "Good boy, good boy."
Wen Tingzhou was first surprised and then full of joy when he saw the meeting gift given by his grandmother to Ruan Ruan. He knew that his grandmother would like Ruan Ruan's temperament, but he did not expect Ruan Ruan to be liked by his grandmother more than he thought.
Next, Ruan Xi and Mrs. Wen had a very pleasant chat. Under the guidance of Mrs. Wen, Ruan Xi inadvertently revealed his knowledge and accomplishments.
Wen Tingzhou listened with a smile, and said a few words from time to time, his eyes were brilliant, and he looked at Ruan Xi with gentle and proud eyes.
After a stick of incense, Wen Tingzhou and Ruan Xi left Mrs. Wen's yard.
Mother Yang and Suyu followed, Zhang Qing followed, and the group returned to the main hall.
As soon as the two came in, several lines of sight swept over, one of which was that of the Fourth Prince.
Ruan Xi noticed the cold face of the fourth prince at a glance, and the aura of being kept away from no one.
Secretly wondering that something like that happened, the four princes hadn't left yet, and had no intention of making friends with other ministers, sitting there alone drinking tea.
It's incredible.
Wen Tingzhou obviously knew what she was thinking, and whispered in her ear.
"Grandmother is an elder, and she has a high ranking in the royal family. Even if the banquet is over, it is best not to leave early before the auspicious time for the banquet."
Ruan Xi understood.
Emperor Shengde is over fifty, and the adult princes below are ready to move and fight fiercely in private. Of course, the four princes will not be attacked by other brothers and disrespect the elders for trivial matters, which makes Emperor Shengde unhappy.
At this time, the sincerity of communicating with the courtiers was full of spirits. All this was because he gave birth to a good daughter. When he saw his fourth daughter came back, he beckoned with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Wen, four girls, come here for a while."
Ruan Xi: "..."
She glanced sideways at Wen Tingzhou.
Wen Tingzhou smiled slightly towards Ruan Xi, and as soon as she passed her, Uncle Sincerity smiled and looked at the outstanding four daughters and the handsome future son-in-law, using the identity of the elders to introduce them to the senior officials in front of them.
In fact, Wen Tingzhou is quite familiar with them, and the introduction of Uncle Sincerity is unnecessary. It is obvious that the intoxication is not in the wine, but Wen Tingzhou is quite cooperative.
Ruan Xi is not stupid, how can he fail to see what the uncle's intentions are, and he didn't hesitate to cooperate with Wen Tingzhou, don't think about it, it must be because of her, Ruan Xi was secretly moved.
The old foxes in officialdom are all sharp-eyed. When Ruan Xi presented her birthday gift, she did not wear any ornaments on her left wrist, but now she has a bunch of familiar Buddha beads. You can know who gave it, and she praised her sincerity. My dear daughter, I caught up with the Wen family. Soon after, I was afraid that the post of the minister of the Ministry of Engineering, who was acting temporarily, was going to be removed.
Sincerity's mouth is humble and can't hide his joy.
Ruan Xi and Wen Tingzhou were shown off by Boss sincerely.
Ruan Xi was completely speechless to his uncle. She quietly gave Wen Tingzhou an apologetic look. Wen Tingzhou smiled at Ruan Xi and said he didn't care.
As for the faint smile in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, a personal friend, Wen Tingzhou directly ignored it.
Ruan Xi slid around, and the Wen family including An Guogong apparently saw the red sandalwood beads on Ruan Xi's wrist and their reactions were different.
Wen Shangshu and Mrs. Wen are naturally happy.
Others can't tell.
On the other side, Mrs. Zhang, the sincere uncle, listened to the noble lady who was higher than her status and complimented her with kind words, but regretted and panicked in her heart.
She did not expect Si Niang to be in the eyes of Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wen is different from Mrs. Wen Shangshu, in case the sterilization drug is exposed...
Her son's future is over.
Fortunately, except for the two confidants of Mama Sun and Mama Gao, only the fakes knew about the sterilization drugs.
Zhang regretted telling the counterfeit.
Who knows if counterfeit goods will leak out.
Zhang now has a deep understanding of the ability of counterfeit goods to cause trouble, and what happened in the small garden spread.
The bad things done by the counterfeit were also spread, but the bad rumors were all directed at that Miss Mu, and the actions of the counterfeit Miss La Mu were rumored to be instructed by Miss Mu.
Zhang's heart is very clear.
She had seen that Miss Mu, and she would definitely not be able to do such a thing. She was definitely ruined by counterfeits.
It was the first time that Zhang had a murderous intent on the counterfeit in his heart, and there was no thought of keeping her torturing slowly.
