A pair of unmarried men and women who have a marriage contract made an appointment to be alone in a meditation room.
Mrs. Wen got the news and came to make a surprise attack, Ruan Xi had a delicate expression.
Mr. Wen's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
"Mr. Wen, you should find a meditation room with windows." Ruan Xi calmed down seeing Mr. Wen's frank appearance, and was in the mood to tease Mr. Wen.
"You want to escape by jumping out of the window?" Mr. Wen raised his eyebrows.
Ruan Xi glanced at Mr. Wen: "No, you jumped out of the window and left, and I stayed."
Mr. Wen: "..."
While the two were chatting calmly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Ruan Xi stood up, silently adjusted her appearance, Mr. Wen also stood up, and naturally stretched out his hand to brush a strand of black hair scattered around her cheek behind her ear.
Ruan Xi's breathing was slightly disturbed by Mr. Wen's intimacy.
"Okay, let's go see mother together." Mr. Wen withdrew his hand and said calmly.
Ruan Xi: "..."
There were no footsteps outside the door. It was obvious that Mrs. Wen had already reached the door of the meditation room.
Except for Zhang Qing's report, Mrs. Wen didn't knock on the door, and there was no other movement, as if she was waiting for the people in the meditation room to come out by themselves.
Ruan Xi raised his eyes to look at Mr. Wen, no wonder he has been so calm.
Mrs. Wen is really considerate.
With an elegant smile on the corner of Mr. Wen's lips, he slowly stepped forward and opened the door.
Mrs. Wen, dressed in fine clothes, stood at the door of the meditation room, followed by two serious-looking mothers.
Zhang Qinglin's mother and Suyu were standing not far away.
As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Wen glanced at the simple and empty meditation room. There was a set of tea sets on the table in the center of the meditation room, with steam coming out of two tea bowls.
At the same time, the two were neatly dressed, their faces were natural, and their hair was not messed up. It was obvious that they had not locked the door to do anything beyond the courtesy.
Mrs. Wen was determined.
She believed in her son, but not necessarily in her son's fiancée, Miss Ruan Si.
"Mother, you're here." Mr. Wen didn't seem to notice his mother's subconscious actions, and he was smiling with a natural intimacy.
Ruan Xi stepped forward slowly, and bowed in a bow: "Ruan Xi has seen Mrs. Wen."
The movements are smooth and flowing, and the manners and etiquette are perfect.
Mrs. Wen nodded secretly. Before, she looked from a distance, but now she looks closely.
Observation is more subtle.
Miss Ruan Si is indeed a born beauty, with white and delicate skin, a jade-like appearance, gentle and demure demeanor, calm and generous.
Her eyes fell on the mutton fat jade hairpin on Ruan Xi's head, she turned her head to look at the fish lotus sachet tied around her son's waist, she was silent for a moment, and showed a gentle smile.
"Miss Ruan Si doesn't need to be too polite."
"Mother, let's go into the meditation room and talk." Mr. Wen saw a figure swaying not far away, smiled and stepped forward to help Mrs. Wen's arm.
Mrs. Wen nodded with a smile. She didn't want to stand at the door of the meditation room and talk.
The three of them walked into the meditation room and sat down. The two mothers brought by Mrs. Wen stood guard at the door.
As soon as Ruan Xi sat down, he respectfully poured tea and water for Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen. Before Mrs. Wen came, Mr. Wen made tea for her. After Mrs. Wen came, she made tea for them.
This treat...
Mr. Wen avoided Mrs. Wen and blinked at Ruan Xi, the corners of his lips raised in pleasure.
Ruan Xi: "..."
Mrs. Wen took a sip of the tea naturally, even if she was still dissatisfied or even cared about Ruan Xi's status as a concubine, she would not show it in front of her son.
"Mother, didn't you go to find Master Huijue for a fortune-telling just now? Why did you come here suddenly? Could it be that Master Huijue is not a fortune teller today?"
Mr. Wen sipped his tea and asked with a smile.
Master Huijue and Master Huiyuan are both well-known masters in Yunhua Temple. Master Huijue is good at divination, and there are no more than nine hexagrams a day. Except for the daily three hexagrams, the other six hexagrams need to be reserved.
Mrs. Wen came to Yunhua Temple to offer incense today, and it was a fortune-telling appointment with Master Huijue.
Mrs. Wen glanced at the calm Ruan Xi, and said with a smile in a good mood: "I found Master Huijue to give you a divination, and the divination is very good."
In fact, the hexagram Mrs. Wen asked for was the marriage between her son and Miss Ruan Si.
The result of divination is the destiny of marriage.
Mrs. Wen was very shocked at the time. In the early years, she had asked Master Huijue to divination for her son's marriage, but they all showed no marriage. Combined with the dream she had a few years ago that repeated several nights, Mrs. Wen's heart was cold.
This time it was a marriage destined by God.
Mrs. Wen was full of surprises and had mixed feelings about Ruan Xi.
"Mum, please worry." Mr. Wen smiled and spoke softly.
Mrs. Wen smiled and glanced at her son: "It's good that you know, by the way, I met Miss Ruan San and her maid from Master Huijue's residence on the road after I left Master Huijue's meditation room."
Madam Wen stopped here, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea gracefully, then turned her gaze to Ruan Xi.
"Miss Ruan Si, do you know what they said?"
Mr. Wen: "..."
Ruan Xi knew Ruan Sanniang a little bit, she guessed that Mrs. Wen's raid must have something to do with Ruan Sanniang, so she replied calmly: "It should be about my meeting with Mr. Wen."
Mrs. Wen smiled appreciatively.
"That's right, I heard them startled and loudly saying that you privately invited Tingzhou to meet in the small meditation room."
Ruan Xi: "..."
Obviously it was Mr. Wen who took the initiative to ask her to meet her, Zhang Qing went to invite someone, and Ruan Sanniang said that she was the one who took the initiative.
In this way, the taste of this meeting will change, and Mrs. Wen may even be labeled as frivolous and restless.
She was adjacent to the wing where Ruan Sanniang was resting, and before leaving, she saw Ruan Sanniang standing by the window of the wing.
Ruan Xi believed that Ruan Sanniang not only saw Zhang Qing, but also sent someone to follow her secretly, otherwise how would she know that she and Mr. Wen met in the meditation room, and deliberately turned black and white to Mrs. Wen's ears.
Judging by Mrs. Wen's attitude, Ruan Sanniang's clumsy trick did not succeed.
But Ruan Sanniang's actions still made Ruan Xi uneasy.
"Mother, I was the one who asked Zhang Qing to invite Miss Ruan Si to come over for an interview. Someone should have seen them on the way here, and they would know the truth if they asked."
Mr. Wen saw that his mother didn't listen to the sidelines, but he still explained it.
In front of his mother, Mr. Wen didn't call her Si Niang, so as not to make his mother dislike Si Niang.
When Ruan Xi heard this, the corners of her lips curved unconsciously.
Mrs. Wen couldn't help but frowned when she saw that her son was looking at Miss Ruan Si before marrying him in.
"Of course, mother is very aware of the details, how can they hide it from you with their little tricks?"
Mr. Wen turned his head and gave Mrs. Wen another hug.
Mrs. Wen's eyebrows stretched, and there was a smile on her face. As a mother, she always wanted the best for her son, and she didn't want her son to forget his mother when he had a wife.
Thinking of Master Huijue's hexagram, Mrs. Wen sighed softly, and suddenly reached out and took off the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist.
"This is my favorite jade bracelet, and I will give it to you today."
Mrs. Wen's tone was a little bit reluctant.
Once this meeting gift was given, it represented that Mrs. Wen recognized Ruan Xi as her future daughter-in-law.
"This jade bracelet is too expensive, Ruan Xi deserves it." When Ruan Xi heard that it was Mrs. Wen's favorite jade bracelet, she quickly rejected it.
"This is a meeting ceremony." Mrs. Wen put the jade bracelet on Ruan Xi's white and tender wrist without any further explanation.
The emerald jade bracelet is high-end and atmospheric, and Ruanxi has a good temperament. With this jade bracelet, it looks more elegant and luxurious.
Mrs. Wen nodded in satisfaction. Miss Ruan Si is good in all aspects, but her status as a concubine is criticized.
Well, there is no perfect person in the world.
Mrs. Wen's mentality changed, and she found Ruan Xi much more pleasing to the eye.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wen." Ruan Xi quickly thanked her.
"You don't need to be too polite. You are Tingzhou's fiancée, he values you, and I love my house too." Mrs. Wen said lightly.
Mr. Wen looked at this scene with a smile, he felt a little apologetic while being happy about the change in his mother's attitude.
"The son thanked his mother for her love and tolerance."
"You were born after ten months of my pregnancy. If you don't hurt, who else can you hurt?" Mrs. Wen cast a sidelong glance at her son.
"Well, my son knows that my mother loves me the most." Mr. Wen got up and went to Mrs. Wen's side to hold her arm.
"It's good that you know." The smile on Mrs. Wen's face was even wider.
It was the first time I saw Mr. Wen interacting with Mrs. Wen like this, and I could tell at a glance that the mother and son had a deep relationship. Ruan Xi couldn't help being a little envious.
In fact, Mrs. Wen is very easy to get along with.
Perhaps with Mr. Wen warming up in the middle, Ruan Xi intentionally joined and pandered, and the conversation that followed was quite pleasant.
Mrs. Wen and Ruan Xi lost their way when they were talking, and started to talk about women's care and pampering. Almost all Mrs. Wen was talking about. Ruan Xi listened carefully and responded with a few words from time to time. He will praise Mrs. Wen without a trace, and improve Mrs. Wen's conversation.
The neglected Mr. Wen didn't care at all, he would refill tea for the two of them from time to time, and when the teapot was empty, someone would send another pot over.
Speaking of nourishing formulas, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but mention the beautiful Concubine Mu who was over sixty years old in the palace.
Hearing Mrs. Wen mention Concubine Mu, Ruan Xi was taken aback. This Concubine Mu is related by blood to the heroine of the original novel, and is the heroine's great-aunt.
It is said that when Concubine Mu entered the palace when she was young, she was constantly favored and favored, until the late emperor passed away, and made a decree to protect her.
Concubine Mu can be said to be a golden finger of the heroine in the book.
This Concubine Mu is morbidly and extremely obsessed with her appearance, and has all kinds of strange and strange beauty recipes in her hands, which make women flock to her.
Even the old empress coveted the beauty formula in the hands of Concubine Mu when she was alive, but she got nothing, let alone other noble ladies.
It seems that Mrs. Wen is also one of them.
Only the heroine accidentally fell into Concubine Mu's eyes and got Concubine Mu's nourishing formula.
Concubine Mu is also credited for the male lead being able to ascend to the throne of God in the end.
"It would be great if I could get one or two beauty-enhancing prescriptions from Concubine Mu."
Mrs. Wen said this sentence to Ruan Xi several times, her tone full of regret.
Concubine Mu is one of the golden fingers of the heroine, and even the girls of the Mu family can't get it, let alone other people.
Ruan Xi didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Wen, so she changed the subject without a trace and brought up another topic that Mrs. Wen was interested in.
Time passed unknowingly, and Madam Wen stopped talking, feeling more and more satisfied with Ruan Xi, the future daughter-in-law. She looked at her son who kept refilling them with tea.
"It's getting late, Tingzhou, you will send Siniang back later."
After chatting and getting along for more than an hour, the relationship between the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has grown by leaps and bounds.
Mrs. Wen also called Ruan Xi a lot closer.
Mr. Wen agreed with a smile. He had a way to make his mother and Si Niang get along in harmony, but he didn't expect Si Niang to do it first, and she did it so beautifully.
I don't know if my mother noticed it, but he could see it clearly.
Mr. Wen secretly praised Ruan Xi for being smart and astute.
The three of them left the meditation room. Mrs. Wen was in a good mood and told her son a few words, then watched the two leave with a smile.
On the way back to the wing room, Lin's mother, Suyu, and Zhang Qing followed from a distance.
Mr. Wen and Ruan Xi walked side by side in front, they talked in a low voice, handsome man and beautiful woman, just like a pair of lovers.
There was an endless stream of female relatives who came to Yunhua Temple to offer incense. Some official women who recognized Mr. Wen saw this scene and were envious and jealous of Ruan Xi who was beside Mr. Wen. Ruan Xi's identity.
The place where the female family members of Chengyi Bofu rests is in a row of wing rooms on the back hill of Yunhua Temple.
Mr. Wen and Ruan Xi saw the old lady and others standing under the big tree in front of the wing from a distance.
There was a subtle feeling in Ruan Xi's heart, they would not be waiting for her.
As soon as the two appeared, everyone's eyes fell on Ruan Xi and Mr. Wen.
One of them was Ruan Sanniang's gaze, which showed obvious inquiry and suspicion.
