Chapter 686 Didn't Fourth Master Tell You?

"When you come, you are a guest. Please give me a seat." Ruoyin said generously.

After Nian Zhilan sat down, her eyes fell on Hong Yi who was sitting next to Ruoyin.

Even though they had never met each other before, she said with a smile on her face, "Surely this is today's protagonist?"

Ruoyin glanced at the side from the corner of his eye, and there was no one except Hongyi.

Fortunately, Hongyi has a good upbringing, when Nian Zhilan mentioned him, she nodded slightly.

So, Nian Zhilan got up again, saluted slightly before sitting down.

"Big Brother, go to the side room to play with Yuan Bao, and then bring him back to the front yard." After Hong Yi left the hall, Ruoyin smiled and said to Nian Zhilan: "Could it be that Miss Nian has seen Big Brother? "

It's only been a year, and Zhilan can smell right and wrong.

There will be a lot of female guests later, and the hall will be a place for gossip.

Therefore, it is better to call Hongyi to the front yard.

Even watching those men drink is better than listening to women's gossip here.

"I don't know each other, but I feel a little familiar." Nian Zhilan seemed to think of something as she spoke, "It's a coincidence, logically speaking... our Nian family is still the benefactor of big brother .”

Hearing this, Ruoyin's willow eyebrows frowned for no reason.

Grandma Liu was even more displeased: "Miss Nian, what nonsense are you talking about? Apart from studying in the palace, my elder brother usually studies in the front yard. He doesn't know anyone from your Nian family. How come your Nian family , but became his benefactor."

Seeing that Ruoyin didn't speak, neither did Nian Zhilan.

It was the maid beside her who spoke for her.

"Si Fujin didn't know something. I heard that the eldest son had a serious illness last year. It happened that my brother had something to do in the capital. He had some precious tortoise shell shells on hand, so he sent them to your mansion. I heard that the situation was urgent, and something serious happened a little later. .”

"Oh...so that's what happened." Ruoyin suddenly remembered what happened last year.

At that time, she asked Chen Biao to thank him well.

Chen Biao said that the other party was unwilling to accept money and jewelry, so he had to wait for fourth master to come back.

Moreover, out of curiosity, she asked Chen Biao which family he was from.

At that time, Chen Biao faltered and faltered, but she didn't think much about it.

Now it seems that there is a great possibility that Chen Biao deliberately hid it from her.

At that time, the fourth master was not around, and he was in charge of finding the medicinal materials.

It stands to reason that he was the first to know that someone below provided medicinal materials.

He even knows which family Tong is.

How could it be possible to not even know who offered the tortoise shell.

Fortunately, she felt that Chen Biao was honest, so she had no doubts.

Heh, he was originally the guard placed by Fourth Master in the main courtyard, so how could he be loyal to her.

Just like Su Peisheng, who flattered her with a flattering face on the surface.

Turning around, he was not only loyal to fourth master.

It doesn't matter if fourth master intentionally concealed his identity as a slave under Nian Gengyao's sect, or he simply concealed it and didn't want to say it.

It's all about letting her understand once again that she is really too small compared to rights.

Seeing that Ruoyin didn't seem to know, Nian Zhilan smiled and said, "From Si Fujin's tone, didn't Si Ye tell you about such an important matter?"

Listening to this tone, it seemed that there was a big secret between her and fourth master.

It's nothing, it's the fault of sowing dissension!

Ruoyin smiled indifferently, and said: "I know that the servants of the sect offered tortoise shells. As for who gave it, I don't know. After all, I am Fujin, and I only care about trivial matters in the backyard. I don't understand those things at all. Besides, there are so many servants under the fourth master's family, and I don't need to remember them all clearly. "

"Hehe... I thought Fujin knew everything." Nian Zhilan said relentlessly.

Although her eyes and the corners of her mouth were smiling, it was uncomfortable to see.

It was a self-righteous, aggressive laugh.

Especially a woman like her, who combines the plumpness of a Manchu woman with the style of a Jiangnan woman.

This kind of person, no matter what kind of words they say, or how bright their smiles are, are a little dazzling.

Ruoyin didn't explain further, but said casually: "You are still young, and you don't understand many things. When you marry a wife, you will understand what you should know and what you shouldn't know. Of course, if you don't That's a blessing, if you become a child, you will never understand this truth."

In one sentence, half of Nian Zhilan's confidence was removed.

Even the smile in his eyes was a little less.

But soon, she regained her girlish smile, and said: "It's the same when you're big or small. Sometimes, being a regular wife doesn't get favored, and you're not as beautiful as a concubine. Take Master Longkodo as an example, When the main wife was alive, she was not favored by Li Si'er, and she was not blessed, so she left early."

"You're talking about Longkodo, that kind of official sons are incomparable with the royal family. The rules in the royal family are strict, and such things can't be done. On the contrary, those who marry in from small families are more fortunate. , I haven’t seen a few children, so the good age is gone.”

When Ruoyin said this, he meant something.

But if this is the case, I believe that everyone here will not understand.

Only she knew that she was talking about the Nian concubine in history.

Nian Zhilan was startled, as if she didn't understand what Ruoyin said.

Just at this time, Tong Jiacai Ling brought the servant into the house.

As a younger brother and sister, she saluted Ruoyin as soon as she entered the room.

Ruoyin asked Nanny Liu to support Tong Jiacai Ling, and said with a smile, "Why did you come so early today?"

"It can't be said that it's early, isn't there anyone here who is earlier than me?" After Tong Jiacai Ling took her seat, she blinked at Ruoyin.

He smiled at Jueluo and Nian again.

Even though she was so lively, Ruoyin could still see loss in her eyes.

Don't even think about it, it must be for Shi Ye who is still in the clan mansion.

Because of the appearance of Tong Jia Cai Ling, the war between Ruoyin and Nian Zhilan stopped.

Otherwise, we don't know when the verbal battle will last.

Next, many female guests entered the hall.

As the hostess, Ruoyin exchanged some polite greetings and offered her a seat.

After almost everyone arrived, everyone was divided into their own camps.

Ruoyin pulled Shi Fujin and the fifth princess together to chat.

Eight Fujin deliberately kept a distance from Ruoyin a few years ago.

Right now, they are nestling in Nian Zhilan's group, chatting.

Even if we are separated by a certain distance, we are still in the same room.

Louder, still audible.

Speaking of which, the most lively one is the one with Nian Zhilan.

If Ruoyin was far away, he could hear those noble ladies holding Nian Zhilan.

It was nothing more than boasting that Nian Zhilan was young and beautiful, and several people rushed to be a matchmaker for Nian Zhilan.

What's more, there is someone who asks Nian Zhilan to be his daughter-in-law.
