Chapter 7 Cousin of the Ruan Family
“Ah, where is the cat from?” The next morning, Mrs Zhou steeled herself and came to serve Qiu Yelan's care. But he found there was a snow-white cat in Qiu Yelan's blanket.
The cat had long hair and short ears, looking like a lion. The most interesting part was his round and large eyes, bright and dazzling. One is blue, and the other is yellow. The cat was very beautiful when he looked around.
As a person who did not like cats very much, Madam Zhou was also interested when she saw it. She reached out and stroked her soft and bushy hair, and then she held it to the ground, “Don't scratch Princess Komandoku!”
“I don't know where it came from. He ran to my bed last night. I saw that it didn't hurt me, so I let it go. ” Qiu Yelan tried to suppress her good mood. The cat was abandoned by the boy yesterday.
Because I'm worried, miss. Zhou and Su He would block him again, the boy did not have time to say any other words. But he told Qiu Yelan that the cat was his beloved pet, and he would send someone to ask for it. And at that time, he would pay her in public as compensation.
“Even if he was not a member of the Jiang Family, he would definitely not stay far away. Otherwise, how could the cat come? ” Qiu Yelan thought to herself, “Can stay next to the Prince's Palace and dare to come here just for a cat, her family must have strength. This way, Princess Yang and Aunt Qiu will be more afraid of dealing with me. “
Thinking of this, Qiu Yelan told Madam Zhou, “Feed a little more.”
Mrs Zhou nodded, but then she said, “But I'd better get it out later. Overall, we didn't improve it before. In case it might bite someone.“
Su He walked in, carrying a food box full of his efforts. He said excitedly, “Your Highness, your cousin is here! He was visiting Princess Yang at the moment. “
After feeling happy, Su He pouted, “The people in the kitchen said that the young master came with a big gift today! This will benefit Princess Yang again! “
“Do not talk nonsense!” Madam Zhou hurriedly stopped her and looked at the smiling Qiu Yelan in silence, and then she sighed, “If the young master does not bring a good gift, then he will not, how could he meet our Command Princess?”
Qiu Yelan thought about it and asked, “I can't get up now. When... this cousin is here, how should I meet him? ”
“You are only twelve years old, and your cousin is not an outsider.” Mrs Zhou said, “Of course, you should let her in and meet her. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can put a thin curtain near the bed. ”
Qiu Yelan sighed in relief, “It seems like the communication restrictions between boys and girls here are relatively weak ..” In his memory, he said, the only cousin the original owner of this body saw before was Kang Jinzhang, a disgusting pedophile. He had little impression of the boundary between men and women in this world. In order to avoid any mistakes, Qiu Yelan had to ask him himself.
After a while, Princess Yang must have let Xiuyan send Ruan Qingyan.
Ruan Qingyan is handsome. She had nice eyebrows and bright eyes, and her skin was as pale as a woman's. She was tall and standing tall, with a beautiful appearance.
She was wearing a mourning dress and looked very quiet. But it seemed like the slight sadness between his eyebrows was hard to remove. Certainly, this sadness can easily arouse the attention and curiosity of others, especially young women.
Even Xiuyan, Princess Yang's trusted servant, couldn't help but look at her before she left.
Since they had only met for the first time, as usual, they greeted each other politely.
Afterwards, Ruan Qingyan made a direct proposal to talk to Qiu Yelan alone.
Probably because she had attended Princess Ruan's funeral before, Ms. Zhou and Su He did not watch over her. After asking Qiu Yelan officially, they left together.
“Cou... cousin, are you okay now?” Ruan Qingyan could not see Qiu Yelan clearly outside the thin curtain. But Qiu Yelan could see it clearly. Ruan Qingyan, his cousin who appeared suddenly, looked at him directly, with an indescribable complex expression.
“I heard Princess Yang say that you were beaten by Qiu Yuqing yesterday?” Ruan Qingyan was obviously worried, “How was your injury?”
Unfortunately my cousin Kang Jinzhang died in an avalanche. Qiu Yelan considered her words carefully, “Aunt Qiu was very sad and he vented me yesterday. Fortunately, I was released in time. I think I will recover after a break for a few days. “
Ruan Qingyan listened in silence. Highlight his gloomy eyes and show boundless compassion, “Did they call a doctor for you?”
“Ya, if not, how can I take the medicine?” Qiu Yelan saw that she did care about him. After thinking, he suddenly sobbed in a low voice, “But ...”
Sure enough, when Ruan Qingyan heard her cries, her face slightly changed, and her body leaned forward. He asked in haste, “What?”
“But last night, Aunt Yang and Aunt Qiu sent someone to ask for my grandmother and mother's dowry. But I don't even know about the dowry list, and how can I give it? ” Looking sad and scared, Qiu Yelan lowered her head, “I don't know what to do now. Cousin, have you ever heard of the existence of a list of two dowries in the grandfather's house? ”
Anger flashed in Ruan Qingyan's eyes. He pressed it for a moment before saying, “I don't know. But don't worry! A few days ago, the Empress Dowager killed four trusted servants. Then, to disappoint the Empress Dowager, the Empress gathered peers and asked them not to harass children and subordinates, which insinuated the Empress Dowager's behavior! It had just happened a few days ago, and the Qiu Family would not dare to make you have an accident today! ”
He got breathing room and lowered his voice, “It's almost New Year's Day. After that, I will take the imperial examination held in the spring, and I am almost certain that I will pass the examination! As far as I know, the chief examiner is Xue Chang, the oldest statesman in the country. She had a high status and was impartial in the power struggle between the Empress Dowager and the Empress. No one dared to ignore him! At that time, no matter where my position is on the list, I will have a name as his student. And it will be easier for me to make excuses and bring you to live with the Ruan Family and accompany grandfather! “
Hearing those two pieces of news, Qiu Yelan felt a little relieved, “It seems like she is really worried about me. He didn't say any words of carelessness and was just a pleasantries to me. He has a strange plan. We are called cousins who have no biological relationship, and we have never met before. Didn't he pay too much attention to me? ”
As he was suspicious, suddenly a voice came from outside. Su He shouted furiously, “Obviously, the cat was first picked up by my Commandery Princess. How could it be taken by Lady Lizhang ?! ”
Both Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yelan were stunned. Ruan Qingyan subconsciously asked, “What did you take?”
In the bed curtain, Qiu Yelan's face darkened!
After some time, he said lightly, “Only a Persian cat.”
No need to go out and ask. He knew that the boy fulfilled his promise last night and sent someone to ask for the cat. The Prince's palace did not ignore him and handed him the cat.
But it had nothing to do with Qiu Yelan. Aunt Qiu's daughter, Kang Lizhang, received the thank you.
“If it wasn't yours, it would never be yours!” Qiu Yelan bit her lips and sneered in her heart, “Do you think I can only swallow the bitter pill in silence ?!”
