The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Thinking this way, I heard someone announce from outside: "Girl, Sister Dujuan from Guilanyuan is here."

Du Juan walked in with a smile: "The old lady asked the servants to come and invite the eldest lady to come over. There are some things to explain."

Jiang Ruan stood up, and asked in a warm voice: "Sister Du Juan, I'm sorry to trouble you, let's go now. Sister Du Juan, do you know what's going on?"

Du Juan smiled: "Miss, please don't call me a slave, I can't afford to be a slave. I don't know what the slave is, but just look at this day, the Lantern Festival is coming."

During the Lantern Festival, Jiang Ruan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression stiffened suddenly. It seemed that his hands couldn't be straightened, and they were stuck in place like stones.

Zisu worried: "What's wrong, girl?"

Only then did Jiang Ruan come back to his senses, and smiled: "It's nothing." The nails that were gathered in the sleeves were secretly inserted into the palms.

Lantern Festival? The day that made her notorious in her previous life was supposed to be the Spring Festival when she just returned home a few years later. The ridicule and ridicule in the eyes of everyone on that day, the worries of Xia Yan's mother and daughter, and Jiang Quan's indifference are all vivid in my memory. In the new life, the day when she returned to Jiang's Mansion was brought forward by several years. I don't know if that day of despair will also come earlier. Whether it is or not, there is one thing that is different, that is, she will not She was slaughtered like a stupid pig, and whoever harmed her would give her back thousands of times!

Du Juan was looking at Jiang Ruan with a smile, but at this moment he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He only felt that Jiang Ruan's gaze seemed to be eating people, and it was nothing like the evil spirits in the eighteen levels of hell painted on the temple wall. Second, there is a gloomy spirit. The next second, I saw Jiang Ruan looking at her with a smile, his eyes were as clear as water flowing in the mountains, and said softly: "Let's go to grandma's yard now."

In the Guilan Courtyard, Jiang Susu and Xia Yan had already arrived first. Seeing Jiang Ruan and Du Juan coming in, Jiang Susu jumped off Mrs. Jiang's couch first, her tone of excitement couldn't stop: "Big sister, the Lantern Festival will be in three days , Grandmother ordered the sisters in our mansion to go to the Linglong boat together, the eldest sister hasn't been there yet, it's fun."

Xia Yan said softly: "Niang Ruan just returned to the capital, and the Lantern Festival is very lively, why don't you go and have a look together, it's good to be happy."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart. Sure enough, whether it was the last life or this life, Xia Yan's mother and daughter's desire to cheat her has not changed at all.

The Lantern Festival is a very special festival in the Dajin Dynasty, especially for those who love each other. Men and women who have reached the marriageable age will come out to play on this day, and many good stories will be achieved on the Lantern Festival. On this day, the aristocratic children in the capital have their own ways of playing. There will be two magnificent flower boats decorated with carved dragons and phoenixes. On the boat, the young high-ranking princes, princes, and princes sat on the green pine boat. Two flower boats swim in the lake side by side, that is, they are close to the distance, but they are not without defenses of men and women.

The boats at the Lantern Festival are actually just a blind date among the upper-class nobles. Young women can show off their talents in front of these gentlemen. The day will be famous in the capital. So this day is another competition to prove themselves, the ladies from famous families secretly compete, only wishing to win a good future for themselves, a good husband.

Jiang Susu's title of the first Shu in Beijing is not due to the limelight at the Lantern Festival every year. Poor Jiang Ruan, in her last life, didn't know the way at all, and was tricked by Jiang Susu to make a fool of herself on the Linglong Boat, and later such things happened. On the second day, Jiang Susu was no longer the most talked about person after the Lantern Festival, because that person was replaced by Jiang Ruan. After the Lantern Festival that day, rumors spread everywhere in the capital, and Jiang Ruan's reputation plummeted, becoming the biggest joke in the capital.

If these are nothing, there is a scene in my memory that is deeply etched in my mind. That day, everyone was ridiculed and ridiculed, only the eighth prince spoke for Jiang Ruan gently. It was only when she was blind that she took the ridicule in those eyes as caring.

Seeing her old friend again in this life, things are different, she knows his wolfish ambitions under the skin of a gentleman, what kind of gift should I give to the Lantern Festival three days later so that this life will not be in vain?

The matter was settled in this way. Three days later, all the young ladies in Jiang's mansion will go to the Linglong boat. Everyone knows what old lady Jiang's plan is. Jiang Susu's complexion is as usual. Another chance for her to shine. Jiang Li was spared by Jiang Quan, who saved her from being grounded. When they met in Guilan Courtyard, she seemed to restrain herself a lot. The second aunt was very happy when she heard about this opportunity. Jiang Dan stood there awkwardly, his face was full of cowardice, and he didn't even know where to put his hands. Jiang Ruan couldn't help but look at her a few more times. In her previous life, she had a low self-esteem, and she didn't take the initiative to pay attention to Jiang Dan. Looking at it now, the younger sister of Jiang's family is too cowardly.

Mrs. Jiang said something that needs attention, and waved everyone to leave. Before leaving, Xia Yan specially called Jiang Ruan: "Niang Ruan, the girls I picked for you will be sent to your yard later. You can see if these girls are easy to use, if not Mind, let's change some people."

Jiang Ruan thanked him with a smile, showing no signs of annoyance. Xia Yan's smile deepened, and the two of them were polite again before leaving on their own.

When Xia Yan and Jiang Susu walked away for a long time, Luzhu said: "Madam is too anxious, I don't have to humiliate myself."

"Others look at it, it's always for the good of me as a daughter, it's not humiliating." Jiang Ruan didn't take it to heart.

Luzhu stayed with Lianqiao for a long time, and she didn't hide her words, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube: "Who are you lying to, even the slaves and servants can see the way, everyone here knows it well, old lady Don’t say anything, it’s because this mansion is not clean all day long.”

Jiang Ruan burst out laughing, because Luzhu is a servant of Zhuangzi, and not a child of the family, she has a sense of loyalty to Jiang's mansion not as much as Lianqiao and Zisu. It's like talking about someone else's house. Jiang Ruan smiled, Luzhu realized this, and blushed: "Your servant has overstepped, please punish me."

"You're right." Jiang Ruan said. Luzhu does not favor the Jiang family, which is a good thing for her. After all, everything she wants to do is on the opposite side of the Jiang family. It may be difficult for Forsythia and Zisu to accept. Some of these things can be handed over. Let Dew do it.

Just as he was walking, a person came towards him, with a willow waist, slim and graceful, and a light fragrance lingered before reaching the tip of his nose. The person was wearing a pink and green short jacket and an autumn-scented long skirt, just like an orchid swaying in the wind. It was Fifth Aunt Hongying.

Seeing Jiang Ruan, Hongying rolled her eyes and bowed to her: "Miss."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Fifth Yiniang is getting more and more beautiful."
