son of knowing

The sweet-scented osmanthus in Rulan's courtyard blooms and falls, and the peonies change every few seasons.

Rulan is not a careful person. She only realized that it was another autumn after smelling the sweetness of sweet-scented osmanthus on Qixi Festival.

The cool wind blowing in the morning made her ignorant mind gradually wake up, but her body was drowsy with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

She finally got impatient, pulled the quilt over her head, and fell asleep again.

When Mrs. Wang came, she happened to see this scene, and a smile could not help but appear on her lips.

With gentle hands and feet, she dug Ru Lan out of the bed, but she didn't let her go: "It's already high in the sun, why are you still asleep?"

Ru Lan finally woke up completely from her sleep, and yawned: "Mother, isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival? The scholars are on vacation, why don't you let me go?"

The youngest daughter was lying on her shoulders delicately like a small animal, her voice was hoarse just after waking up, and she was the most delicate.

The lady's heart was crumpled into a ball, and she thought that Rulan was [-] years old this year, and it's been a few years since she got married. How could she have such a relaxed life in her in-law's house later on?

But when it came to her husband's family, the eldest lady had a thought and tested Ru Lan's mind: "Ru'er, you said that you will reach the age of Ji next year, do you have any plans for the future?"

The scent of sweet osmanthus in the garden had almost aroused Ru Lan's drowsiness, but when she heard this question, she immediately woke up.

She lowered her head and played with the corner of the quilt: "What plans can I have?"

She had confessed to Minglan, and knew that she absolutely couldn't say that she liked Qiheng now. Naturally, her mother would fight for her, but her father would not.He had already glimpsed their indifference to the Sheng family from the lukewarm attitude of Qi Guogong and his wife, so naturally he would not go up to Chazi to put his hot face on the cold ass of others.

What's more, the matter between her and Qi Heng must never be known by Princess Pingning.Although Princess Pingning treated her well when the two families paid New Year's greetings in the past few years, Rulan knew that it was because there was Mo Lan standing in front of her to shield her from the sword.

The eldest lady didn't pay attention to Rulan's expression, she thought her daughter was ignorant and unenlightened.I feel even more pitiful and cute in my heart.

"Then mother will choose a good husband for Ru'er, and she must overwhelm the concubine in Lin Xige."

Ru Lan thought in her heart: There is no one in Bianjing who can compare to Brother Yuan Ruo, I am afraid that even my mother would not be able to find it after digging three feet.

And such a character has her in his heart.

Ru Lan couldn't hide her smile: "Then find someone who is like Brother Yuan Ruo."

The eldest lady didn't know about Ru Lan and Qi Heng, so she laughed angrily when she heard the words: "My little ancestor, do you think there can be a few young masters of Qi in Bianjing City? He is still a student, and he doesn't rely on his ancestors at all. The meaning of Guanghui. If I were your age, I would have let your grandfather make up my mind, if not, I would drag him and elope."

It can be seen from this that the eldest lady and Rulan are really two biological mothers and daughters.

"Brother Yuan Ruo won't elope with you." Ru Lan whispered.

"You girl, what are you talking about?" The eldest lady asked doubtfully, unable to hear her words clearly.

"I said, Brother Yuan Ruo is a good man. My husband-in-law is also a good man." Ru Lan nestled in the arms of the eldest lady, covering her blushing face, and was afraid that the eldest lady would praise Qi Heng again. Letting himself be exposed, he abruptly changed the subject, "I think the sweet-scented osmanthus outside is pretty good, I want to finish drinking the sweet-scented osmanthus balls."

"Fine, fine, it's all up to you." The eldest lady squeezed the corner of the quilt for Rulan: "Then you can sleep for a while. I will ask Mama Liu to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus balls, and drink them when I wake up."

Ru Lan nodded, and was about to get into the bed and go back to sleep, when she thought of something, she pulled the lady's sleeve and asked, "Mother, will there be crabs at the dinner party? I want to eat three."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time to eat crabs.And Rulan has always been fond of this.Thinking of the plump crab paste, Ru Lan felt itchy in his heart.

"Okay, okay." The eldest lady nodded her head, "I'll prepare everything for you."

Ru Lan sat back on the bed contentedly.

She didn't sleep for long, and suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, and there was a fat crab waiting for her in the dream, but the pain became more and more intense.

She was a pain-intolerant person, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Magpie."

As soon as she made a sound, Ru Lan was shocked to realize that her voice was hoarse.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Mother Liu answered.She also noticed Ru Lan's incompatibility, and quickly helped Ru Lan get up.

"Where does it hurt?"

Ru Lan weakly pointed to her abdomen.She has never been a picky eater, and her body has been well taken care of by Mrs. Wang, and she has seldom been sick for more than ten years.

In panic and fear, she had already thought of the worst plan: "Mother Liu, am I suffering from some serious illness?"

Mother Liu already had a guess in her heart, and comforted her: "Miss, go change your clothes first, so that it will be convenient for the doctor to diagnose and treat you."

Ru Lan nodded, and let Magpie help her to change clothes.

After half a stick of incense, Liu's mother heard Ru Lan's small scream: "Liu's mother, there is blood."

So, the eldest lady came to Rulan again.

Ru Lan was lying on the bed, and was educated by the eldest lady about some taboos during this period of time.

Magpie memorized seriously, but Rulan was a little dazed.

She was still a little surprised: "Am I really okay? There's so much blood left!"

Mrs. Wang pinned Ru Lan's hair back, and said with a smile, "This is a happy event. Our Ru'er has finally grown into an adult. Don't touch any cold water during this period of time. I have to order the kitchen to cook some angelica black-bone chicken soup." .”

In fact, the arrival time of Yuexin is different for everyone, some are late and some are slow, Rulan's time is also normal.

happy event?

Rulan thought about it.

But when he heard the next sentence from the eldest lady, his emotions collapsed: "It's just crabs, raw and cold things, you must not eat them."

"Ah?" Ru Lan asked in surprise, "But mother, you promised me to eat four crabs before."

The big lady scolded: "Is the crab important, or your own body?"

Her little daughter is ignorant and innocent, how can she be at ease.

"Oh."

Rulan responded with a weary voice.Decided not to head-to-head with the eldest lady.

Alas, this monthly letter came at a really bad time.

Therefore, when Rulan burns incense and pays respects to the moon with Minglan at night, it is rare that there is no joy on her face.

Ming Lan couldn't help feeling a little worried: "Fifth Sister, what's wrong with you?"

It seems that since the dinner party, Fifth Sister has been so decadent, she didn't even eat her favorite crab.

"Oh." Ru Lan replied absent-mindedly, biting a mooncake, "I've sent a monthly letter."

Xu Shi didn't know much about Yuexin, so she didn't shy away from talking about it like ordinary people.

"Does it hurt?" Minglan asked worriedly.

Ru Lan shook her head, lost and said: "But I can't eat crabs anymore."

"Then eat it next year." Minglan comforted.

Ru Lan looked even more desperate.Mama Liu said that the monthly letters come every month, like a wave of letters.That is to say, if there is no accident, she will still not be able to eat big crabs in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.

Seeing her appearance, Ming Lan also knew that her consolation hadn't worked, so she changed the topic: "Fifth Sister, hurry up and make a wish to her."

The custom of worshiping and admiring the moon has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that as long as you are devout, your wishes will come true.

Ru Lan said silently in her heart: I hope that one day I can eat plump crabs.And, stay with brother Yuanruo well.

If the last wish can't come true, let's make the next one come true.

A day later, Qi Heng opened Ru Lan's small note attached to the food box, still secretly wondering why she didn't transcribe the verses of the Book of Songs this time.

But when he looked closely, he couldn't help but blushed.This made Bu Wei a little strange.

He was a little curious, and stood on tiptoe to take a look at what Rulan wrote again.But Qi Heng gave him a hard look, and stood aside obediently.

What is it? It's so precious that I don't want to see it.

In fact, it was just a few gossips from Ru Lan, but the content was a bit special.

Rulan wrote:

Brother Yuan Ruo, I didn't eat any crabs on Mid-Autumn Festival Eve.My mother said that I couldn't eat these things when I came to Yuexin, and they all said that Yuexin was a good thing.But I see, it's not very good for me.

Qi Heng read the entire note, tore up a small note and wrote back, writing: Fifth sister, I hope you will be informed of the dates of each month in the future.

Then asked Buwei to fetch a blank booklet.

He wrote a date squarely on it.

August fifteen.

Not to watch, I thought: Isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival?

He didn't know that the notebook was filled with regular dates in the future.
