Ruan Xi woke up refreshed.
Outside the window, the rain began to patter, and some raindrops fell on the eaves of the corridor and made a soft sound.
Ruan Xi was taken aback, it was still drizzling in the afternoon, and the rain became heavier after she took a nap, and there was still a faint cold clammy wind blowing in through the small crack by the window.
Ruan Xi lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Hearing the noise from the inner room, Suyu and Suzhu, who were embroidering purses outside, quickly put down the needlework baskets in their hands, and brought warm water to help the young lady to freshen up.
"Miss, when you were resting, the old lady's mother brought an old doctor over. When she learned that you were on a lunch break, she said to come back later."
Suzhu said while combing the lady's hair.
Ruan Xi smiled slightly, it seemed that the old lady was very concerned about her body.
"Well, I see, is there anything else?"
This time it was Suyu who replied: "There is one more thing, Madam sent someone to inform that she will let you learn about housekeeping, Miss."
Ruan Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed secretly. The aunt is worthy of being the aunt. When she was under suspicion, she made such a decision. She thought that the matter of the housekeeper would be delayed for some time, but she was still very happy to be able to formally study the housekeeper. of.
"Third sister is going to get married next year, will you follow me this time?"
Ruan Xi asked casually.
Suyu shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't find out the news that the third lady is studying as a housekeeper."
That is no...
Ruan Xi frowned, no wonder Ruan Sanniang was thinking about doing business.
The aunt... unexpectedly let her...
It was hard for Ruan Xi to understand, but it didn't prevent her from raising her vigilance.
After washing and grooming, Ruan Xi just ate some snacks to rest her stomach, when the mother beside the old lady hurriedly brought the doctor over after receiving the news that Miss Fourth had woken up.
The mother who came over was surnamed Chen, the old lady's confidant mother, and it could be seen that the old lady attached great importance to Ruan Xi.
The old doctor took Ruan Xi's pulse carefully, and even used everything from looking, hearing and asking. Ruan Xi answered the old doctor's questions truthfully.
This detailed pulse diagnosis took half an hour.
Ruan Xi's heart sank little by little.
Suyu and Suzhu next to her also became anxious.
"Doctor Liu, Miss Fourth's body..." Mother Chen couldn't help asking.
The old doctor withdrew his hand, looked at the nervous Fourth Miss, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the old man has checked the pulse several times. Fourth Miss is in good health and there is no problem."
Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and she suddenly relaxed. She thought that the original owner had accidentally encountered a plot before this.
With this relaxation, Ruan Xi suddenly found that his worry seemed unnecessary.
In the book, the original owner is a good-luck female partner that even the heroine envies, she should be well before getting married.
Ruan Xi: "..."
"That's good, that's good, Doctor Liu, Miss Fourth's cold is all over?" Mother Chen asked keenly, grasping the key point. If she remembered correctly, the doctor said the day before yesterday that Miss Fourth had hurt her vitality.
Old Doctor Liu nodded: "It's really all right."
Mother Chen frowned and asked a question: "No, didn't you say Miss Fourth hurt her vitality?"
It is not so easy to replenish the damaged vitality.
Suyu and Suzhu, who were happy that Miss was in good health, became nervous again.
Old Doctor Liu smiled: "Miss Si has indeed damaged her vitality, but she has fully recovered now, and Miss Si must have felt it herself."
Ruan Xi's heart skipped a beat, the speed of her body's recovery seemed to be too appalling.
It's just that she didn't know her physical condition, so she attributed the reason to the medicinal materials sent by Mr. Wen.
"That's true. Maybe it's the precious medicinal materials sent by Mr. Wen that have worked." Ruan Xi nodded, with a hint of shyness in her soft voice.
Old Doctor Liu nodded in agreement: "It's possible that ginseng of good age and good quality is the most invigorating. When I checked the pulse, I found that Miss Si should rarely take medicine, so the efficacy of the medicine will work so quickly."
"So that's how it is." Chen's mother suddenly realized that the doctor was right. Miss Si rarely got sick since she was a child.
Miss Si is in good health, the old lady will be very happy when she finds out.
Old doctor Liu kindly reminded: "Miss Si is in good health, it is best to stop taking medicine, medicine is not as good as food, just pay attention to your daily diet."
Ruan Xi smiled gratefully: "Thank you doctor for reminding me."
Old Doctor Liu waved his hands with a smile, and after a few words of advice, he picked up the medicine box and left.
Mother Chen also left, and she wanted to report Miss Si's situation to the old lady.
Chengxin Garden returned to calm again.
With the doctor's words, Ruan Xi finally didn't need to drink tonic anymore, but he couldn't pretend to be recuperating just because he was in good health, Ruan Xi sighed softly, the quiet and leisurely days were gone forever.
Mrs. Zhang, who has been paying attention to the movement of Chengxin Garden, learned that Mother Chen, who was beside the old lady, left with a smile.
At the beginning of Youshi, the rain stopped.
Ruan Xi rubbed his sore wrist, looking at the delicate and graceful handwriting on the rice paper, he was extremely satisfied.
As for the strict and rigid handwriting that the original owner deliberately revealed, Ruan Xi can already write proficiently. Xu's mother, who has not yet returned home, actually knows a little about the original owner's hidden clumsiness. Now Ruan Xi finally doesn't have to worry about being exposed.
Suzhu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Miss, the young master is here, waiting in the outer room."
Ruan Xi was slightly surprised when he heard this, and replied, "Wait a minute." He threw the rice paper full of words into the brazier and burned it. After tidying up his appearance, he went to the outer room to meet Ruan Yuwen.
"Brother." As soon as Ruan Xi came out, he saw Ruan Yuwen sitting on a chair drinking tea, and Suyu standing beside him.
Ruan Yuwen raised his head, looked at the beautiful girl Pingting who was approaching gracefully, raised the letter in his hand, smiled handsomely, and hurriedly said.
"Fourth sister, have you seen the letter in my hand? Mr. Wen asked me to hand this letter into your hands."
Mr. Wen's letter...
Ruan Xi was surprised. Grandpa hoped that she and Mr. Wen would write letters to communicate and cultivate their relationship. She hadn't figured out how to contact her fiancé, and was about to drag it on for a while, but her fiancé handed over the ladder on his own initiative.
Ruan Xi was in a slightly complicated mood.
She lifted the corner of her skirt, pretending to run to Ruan Yuwen eagerly, held the letter tightly in her hand, and smiled happily and shyly: "Thank you, brother."
Ruan Yuwen is not a curious person, but he is very curious about what Mr. Wen, who is known as a gentleman who is estranged and indifferent to women, will write in his letter, so he rushed to Chengxinyuan to deliver the letter as soon as he returned to the mansion.
"Fourth sister, quickly take it apart and see what Mr. Wen wrote."
Ruan Xi looked at her elder brother's bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. She blushed and lowered her head, squeezing the letter tightly in her hand in embarrassment.
"Brother..."
The meaning of refusal is obvious.
"Ahem, big brother is just curious... Curious..." Ruan Yuwen obviously realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and smiled awkwardly.
"Fourth sister, read Mr. Wen's letter quickly, and write a reply later, and elder brother will pass it on to Mr. Wen for you. If you want to write a letter to Mr. Wen in the future, ask someone to tell your elder brother. Elder brother can be the fourth younger sister and Mr. Wen." swan geese."
Suyu next to her was very happy when she heard the words.
The young master is really a good man.
When Ruan Xi heard Ruan Yuwen say that he wanted to be a swan goose, the idiom of swan goose passing a book suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he looked at the smiling and expectant eyes of his elder brother, and was silent.
"Thank you big brother, can you wait for a while, I'll go back to the back room to write a reply first." Ruan Xi's heart was not fluctuating, but there was a hint of excitement and shyness on her delicate and beautiful face, her eyes were moist and bright, like a shy flower Roses waiting to bloom.
Delicate and charming.
Surprise flashed in Ruan Yuwen's eyes, and he marveled at the good looks of the fourth sister again.
"Okay, brother is waiting for you here."
Ruan Xi had a happy face, and ordered Suyu to take care of Ruan Yuwen, and couldn't wait to take the letter back to the house.
Ruan Yuwen looked at the happy and eager look of the fourth younger sister with a funny face, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea, secretly regretting that he could not satisfy his curiosity.
Ruan Xi, who returned to the back room, put away the eagerness and excitement on his face, and calmly opened Mr. Wen's letter.
This was the first time Ruan Xi saw Mr. Wen's handwriting.
Mr. Wen's handwriting is strong and beautiful, with the hidden edge slightly showing the edge, and the exposed edge is also subtle, with a combination of hardness and softness.
Ruan Xi admired Mr. Wen's writing for a while before reading the content of the letter.
Skipping the greetings and concern at the beginning, Mr. Wen mainly talked to her about raising his mother, and also mentioned to her about Mrs. Wen's birthday next month.
After reading the letter, Ruan Xi was secretly grateful for Mr. Wen's thoughtfulness. She also wondered why Mr. Wen hadn't sent his foster mother over. It turned out that Mr. Wen sent someone to investigate the status of his foster mother.
The letter also attached the information of this nurturing mother, which is simple and concise, and the key points are clear at a glance.
Ruan Xi labeled Mr. Wen as careful, gentle and considerate in his heart.
As for Mrs. Wen's birthday...
Ruan Xi raised his eyebrows, and a smile escaped from the corner of his lips. Mr. Wen deliberately mentioned this matter, thinking of his status as a concubine, did he ask her to prepare her heart first
After reading the letter, Ruan Xi began to study ink and write a reply letter. Facing Mr. Wen, she did not deliberately hide her clumsiness.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ruan Xi put the written reply in an envelope and sealed it, then left the back room.
Ruan Yuwen, who had just finished drinking a cup of tea, looked at the letter handed over by the fourth younger sister in surprise, "fourth younger sister, did you write the reply so quickly?"
He thought that the fourth sister would be excited and happy in the room for a while.
"Brother, it's getting dark soon." Ruan Xi lowered her head in embarrassment, and replied in a wrong way.
Ruan Yuwen was taken aback for a moment, then understood what she meant, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, Fourth Sister was really... really impatient.
He glanced at Simei with a smile, took the letter over, and deliberately teased her: "What Simei said is that the sky is getting dark, and elder brother will definitely give your reply to Mr. Wen tomorrow."
Ruan Xi wanted to say 'casual', but now she is playing a fourteen-year-old girl who lives in a boudoir and admires her fiancé, so she can only continue to play.
She secretly slandered the unscrupulous brother in her heart, and deliberately showed an anxious and hesitant expression on her face.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuwen burst out laughing.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, brother will send someone to deliver the letter to Wen's residence later."
After speaking, Ruan Yuwen got up and scratched Ruan Xi's upturned little nose, and left Chengxin Garden with Ruan Xi's letter of reply.
It was the first time in two lifetimes that someone had his nose scratched so intimately, Ruan Xi... Except for a little surprise, Ruan Xi didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart.
She never admits that she has a cold relationship, Ruan Xi just feels that the seemingly harmonious brother-sister relationship between her and her elder brother Ruan Yuwen can't stand the test.
It's good to be so not far or near.
