"Junior Ruan Yiming, arrived in Cangcheng yesterday, preparing to take part in the imperial examination a month later. I heard that my aunt felt cold, so he visited specially. I heard that my aunt said that she was taken care of by Ming Mansion and was going to visit today. The junior dare to use her aunt's light and shamelessly talk Your mansion."
Ruan Yiming is still wearing his white-washed scholar's clothes, and his body is straight. Even if he bends down to make a salute, his back and spine are straight.
"Greetings to Mrs. Ming."
When Shangguan Wanruo met with each other and received Ruan Yiming's courtesy, he was very fond of him in his heart.
Although the clothes of the scholar in front of him are a little bit old, his crowns are neat and tidy.
What's more, this younger generation is not only outstanding, with a wide forehead and nose, red lips and white teeth, eyes like stars, and a warm temperament like jade. He is also very decent in conversation, gentle and not pedantic, with proper etiquette, and even a toast for tea. Every act and every move is self-explanatory.
What Shangguan Wanruo liked more was that Ruan Yiming and his brother Shangguan Yuming were really very similar.
When Shangguan Yuming was young, he was praised as "the first bright jade in Jiangdong". Not only did he look handsome, but he also treated people like a spring breeze.
Now I am in contact with Ruan Yiming, and after a little conversation, I feel even more so.
After all, his elder brother became famous at a young age, and it has been smooth sailing from birth to now.
Shangguan Wanruo heard Li Qingqing's ear in front. Although she might be self-recommended to promote her, the rugged life of this son also made her feel uncomfortable.
Now that I see the above, I feel that what Li Qingqing said is true.
Not only did he have a strong spine, he did not talk about his shortcomings and longs. When it comes to family matters, he does not sell his hardships to others. He just understates the sentence "My father died suddenly, and I had to fall in the family." Fun facts about the college, getting along with my mother.
No resentment because of frustration, nor slander because of injustice.
This piece of jade shines even brighter in the suffering of life.
Shangguan nodded quietly.
Although he is a relative of Li Qingqing, he is obviously not the same with her.
Before Li Qingqing came to propose to her, she heard that it was Li Qingqing’s nephew, and even the relationship was still unsolvable. She thought that Li Qingqing and sister-in-law Li Qingqing were a kind of high-profile goods.
Want to use the general mansion to pan Gaozhi.
Now I was thinking wrong, but when Ruan Yiming was a child, his family was in trouble, his mind was more sensitive, and Li Qingqing's emotions were more taken care of when dealing with others.
In fact, such a good temper can be obtained no matter who you are with.
As everyone knows, all this is in Ruan Yiming's plan.
First, let Li Qingqing come to propose a marriage. With her character, she would not be able to say anything good. Maybe it would anger the General Ming and his wife and make them have a very bad impression of themselves.
Ruan Yiming wanted this effect.
Lowering Shangguan Wanruo's expectations first, retreating as progress, and performing well by yourself will surely arouse her greatest affection and leave a deep impression on her.
Ruan Yiming also had his own plan on how to give Shangguan Wanruo a good impression.
He had already asked someone to find out that Shangguan Wanruo, the wife of General Ming's mansion, and his elder brother Shangguan Yuming had a very deep relationship. General Ming also praised Shangguan Yuming.
Little by little, he understood Shangguan's graceful temperament, her likes and dislikes.
It is often said that mothers and daughters resemble each other, not only in terms of looks, but also in their senses towards people.
Living in Shangguan Yuming’s mansion, he climbed up to Li Qingqing’s relationship while secretly observing Shangguan Yuming’s living habits and preferences, his manners of dealing with others, and doing his best to learn his manners and ways of thinking little by little. , Slowly shaping his own temperament into a person like him.
Although Shangguan Yuming was aware of this young man’s secretly prying and imitating himself, his generosity and indifference also allowed him to take care of this diligent younger generation. He was discussing matters with his colleagues in the courtyard. When he saw Ruan Yiming, he also deliberately let go. Speak slowly and increase the volume so that he has time to figure out and learn more.
To be honest, Ruan Yiming is also very grateful to Shangguan Yuming. Even if it is a deliberate imitation, he has deeply affected him and he has benefited a lot from it.
Without a father, Ruan Yiming is trying his best to find someone who can be his father.
Judging from Shangguan Wanruo's slightly forward leaning body, the corners of his lips with a smile from time to time, and his attitude of caring for himself, he should be considered a success.
Finally asked about age and marriage.
He understands that this is his critical time.
Ruan Yiming lowered his head. Although Shangguan Wanruo couldn't see his expression clearly, seeing his thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, he felt sad for him.
"It's true that my aunt said that before Yiming, there was indeed someone who was talking about marriage," Ruan Yiming raised his head again, with a gentle smile, but the corners of his eyes were slightly moist. "She is a very good woman. Family friend, I saw it from a distance when I was young. Although I am not familiar with it, Yiming sometimes secretly looks forward to what it will be like after getting married with her."
"It's just that something happened in Yiming's family. A few years later, when the agreed time was reached, my mother went to her home to ask for it, but her parents broke the contract."
"It's unreasonable to say nothing but faith."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wanruo couldn't help but screamed angrily at this junior's distress.
Ruan Yiming made a wry smile.
"Yes, my mother said the same."
"But my father passed away suddenly, and some of the world and property in the family were divided up by relatives in the family. I can't guarantee that the woman really wants to marry my house. If Yiming will let her live a good life, I will suffer. I persuaded my mother, and finally moved her. In August of that year, the two families withdrew their posts, and the woman and I ended the marriage."
It's just that there are still a lot of things that I don't know for the time being, so I can only look at it before talking.
"Who knows the weather is unpredictable. In August, after finishing all kinds of things for the two houses, the woman ate a few bowls of ice bowls because of greedy cold. She had a stomachache and dizzy all day. So the doctor said It's a minor symptom, just prescribe a prescription at will and leave."
"After drinking the medicine for two months, the condition did not improve but became more and more serious. In the end, the woman was so weak that she couldn't get out of bed. She lay in sorrow all day, and then asked other doctors to see her. They all say that the genius doctors are lacking in skills and have already damaged the roots of the body."
"Sure enough, early winter, she died seriously ill."
At this point, Ruan Yiming sighed slightly.
"Although Yiming retired with her, there was always a coincidence in time. At that time, someone said that I was a natural'nemesis'. For a while, Yiming felt that she was really sorry for the woman."
