Chapter 538: Internal and External Troubles
Ruan Qing had seen that Xiao Yu didn't know much about the past of Yuri City before, and learned that Xiao Yu was from the outside vassal states, so he gave him a brief account of these ups and downs about the Ruan family.
How did he know that a person's name suddenly appeared from Xiao Yu's mouth, it happened to be the damn eunuch who framed the young lady back then, how could he not be surprised?
"You! How do you know Xue Nu'er's name? Didn't you say that you came from Qianfeng Kingdom!"
Ruan Qing stood up from his seat suddenly, trembling and pointing at Xiao Yu and shouting, so frightened that the ball shrank in Xiao Yu's arms, and his two little paws hurriedly covered his ears.
Seeing Ruan Qing's excited and angry look, Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry, he waved his hand and said gently, "Steward Ruan, you sit down first......"
"Don't get close to me!"
Ruan Qing directly shouted angrily, interrupting Xiao Yu's words, "You really don't have a good heart! What kind of conspiracy is there against my Ruan family this time? Come on! Anything is coming at me Ruan Qing, our Ruan family, there will not be a bad seed!"
Seeing Ruan Qing's indignant and angry appearance, Xiao Yu knew that this person was loyal to the Ruan family.
The loyalty to Ruan Qing in his heart was relieved, and he should even take out a jade jue from the storage ring.
The jade dragon and phoenix are connected, and the dragon kiss and the phoenix's beak are not connected, as if they are isolated by the moat forever.
"This ...... This is Miss's dragon and phoenix jade!"
Ruan Qing looked at the ancient jade jue in Xiao Yu's palm, first his face was shocked, and then his two gray eyebrows were raised high, and his face was full of fierceness.
"You bold murderer! What did you do to our young lady? I, Ruan Qing, just fight this old bone today, and I want to let your murderer pay for his life!"
Qiuqiu saw that Ruan Qing in front of him suddenly became extremely fierce and vicious, and his body burst out with murderous aura, and his big eyes immediately showed a dangerous light.
Anyone who wants to be unfavorable to Xiao Yu is regarded as an enemy.
The snow-white hair fluttered slowly, and I saw that the snow-white beast was about to slowly rise from Xiao Yu's arms.
However, a hand pressed it back into its arms and gently rubbed its little head.
Qiuqiu muttered dissatisfiedly, shrunk into Xiao Yu's arms and nibbled on his own fruit.
"Steward Ruan, this jade jue was handed over to me by Ruan Lingyu herself. Xiao Yu said, "She asked me to come to Ruan Jingtian, that is, your general." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Qing, who was still angry just now, was stunned suddenly, and then an unbelievable expression appeared on his face.
"Miss, she...... You've seen our young lady, where is she? How did you meet? Is she okay now?"
Several questions came to him, making Xiao Yu smile slightly bitterly: "Of course I've seen her, otherwise this Yujue is still something I picked up casually on the street?" You sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”
Ruan Qing swallowed his saliva, with a look of surprise on his face, he sat down slowly, his eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Yu and the jade jue in his palm.
Xiao Yu smiled and motioned for him to take it and check it out.
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took the jade jue from Xiao Yu's hand, put it in front of him and examined it carefully, refusing to let go of every detail.
After a while, his hands trembled, and then he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's really a young lady! God does not live up to our Ruan family, and God does not live up to our Ruan family!"
Xiao Yu looked at his sad appearance and secretly guessed what kind of ordeal the Ruan family had experienced.
Gently wiping the corners of his eyes, Ruan Qing's gaze returned to Xiao Yu, and there were still some doubts in it: "You said that the young lady asked you to go to the general, what can you prove?"
Xiao Yu was a little difficult now, but Ruan Jingtian didn't give him any tokens, so what should he do
Prove that you have met Ruan Jingtian?
While he pondered, Ruan Qing carefully examined his face.
Suddenly, the Ruan family's chief butler looked startled, as if he remembered something, and asked Xiao Yu, "Are you ...... You said your name is Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu nodded: "If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, Xiao Yu is me." ”
"You're from Qianfeng Country?"
"Yes, I met your general when I passed through Tianyun Pass, and I completed the entrustment given by Ruan Lingyu. ”
Ruan Qing gasped.
He suddenly had an extremely respectful look on his face, jumped up from the chair, and knelt down and kowtowed directly to Xiao Yu.
"Ruan Qing, the housekeeper of the Ruan family, meet the little master!"
Xiao Yu was stunned.
What's the situation? How did this suddenly become a confession!
He hurriedly helped Ruan Qing up, who was already in tears at the moment.
"Steward Ruan, I am just friends with your Ruan family, your 'little master' really makes me a little foggy!"
Ruan Qing held Xiao Yu's arms and said sincerely: "You are the righteous brother accepted by the general, of course you are the little master of our Ruan family!"
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and then he wanted to understand the reason.
When he was in Tianyun Pass, Ruan Jingtian once announced in public at the dinner party that Xiao Yu would be included in the Ruan family, and he would be Ruan Jingtian's younger brother from then on.
Thinking that after that, Ruan Jingtian informed the Ruan family of the news, which is why Ruan Qing was so excited.
Xiao Yu couldn't laugh or cry, he thought it was just a prevarication made up by Ruan Jingtian on the table to relieve him from the siege, but he didn't expect Ruan Jingtian to really do what he said, and he also notified the Ruan family.
No wonder Ruan Qing suddenly figured it out, and his attitude towards him suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
"Steward Ruan, sit down first. Xiao Yu helped Ruan Qing sit back in his seat, coughed dryly and said, "Let's talk about this later, you tell me first, what is the current situation of the Ruan family?"
"Okay, well, if the little master wants to listen, then I'll tell you. Ruan Qing didn't mean to change her words at all, looked at Xiao Yu's clear eyes, and smiled kindly.
Xiao Yu smiled, thinking that the name of the little young master couldn't run away.
Next, Ruan Qing concisely told Xiao Yu about the current situation of the Ruan family, and the reason why he deigned to meddle in the filthy affairs of the Western District in his capacity.
The Ruan family has a man of the hour, who is like a bright star in the imperial capital, gorgeous and scorching.
That is Ruan Jingtian, who is quite valued by the Son of Heaven and has the reputation of "God of War".
Because of their contributions to the Vermilion Bird Dynasty on the battlefield in the Northland, the Ruan family, under the leadership of Ruan Jingtian, slowly rose from a middle-class small family to the ranks of the eight wealthy families.
He is loyal and patriotic, upright, and deeply loved by the Son of Heaven, but he is also regarded by many people as a thorn in the flesh.
The Son of Heaven intended to accept Ruan Lingyu, the second lady of the Ruan family, as a concubine, but he had to take care of many reasons, so he wanted to find a reason to quietly include Ruan Lingyu in the palace.
The draft that year was just a disguise, and the real purpose was only one, that is, to send Ruan Lingyu to the palace.
It's a pity that the plan was revealed and was hindered by some people with ulterior motives, which not only made Ruan Lingyu bear the stigma and had to flee the imperial capital, but also shook the trust of the Son of Heaven in Ruan Jingtian.
In the end, Ruan Jingtian was demoted from a high position to Tianyun Pass and became a commander guarding the border pass.
But no matter how big the commander is, he is only in Tianyun Pass, where can he compare to the former general?
"What happened back then is still the case
is still in the clouds, and there is only a little eunuch under the palace, named Xue Nuer, who sent him to arrest Miss on the surface, but in fact, he was expelled from Yuri City. ”
Ruan Qing sighed helplessly, and his expression was indescribable: "The eunuch has mistaken the country." ”
These words are rebellious remarks that want to kill the head, but Ruan Qing blurted out directly, without any scruples, one is to trust Xiao Yu next to him enough, and the other is to be very assured of the safety of the mahjong parlor.
He will not forget that there is still a Zhao Shushi of the Zhao family in the mahjong hall at this time.
With Zhao Shushi sitting here, this mahjong parlor in the West District can be described as solid, and there will be no gossip for others to listen to.
At this time, the big boss of the Drunken Immortal Residence was sitting at a mahjong table with Wang Qinian and Yunhuo Wu, rubbing mahjong with relish.
His ears suddenly moved slightly, as if he had caught some sound, and his gentle smile smiled helplessly.
"This old man Ruan is really old, and he even hit me with his idea. ”
He secretly scolded himself in his heart, smiled indifferently, and an invisible qi slowly floated out of his body, and in an instant, it quietly shrouded the outside of the entire Bird Saint Mahjong Hall, isolating all the sounds and breaths inside impenetrable.
Wang Qinian and Yun Huowu, who were close at hand, both felt a feeling of palpitation in an instant, and they raised their heads to glance at Zhao Shushi, and then looked at each other again.
"Playing cards and playing cards, this mahjong thing is really interesting, look at the cards I do here!"
Zhao Shushi said with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Qinian glanced at Yunhuo Dance, his face full of indifference.
The three continued to play cards, and although three were missing one, there was no lack of laughter.
It's just that the back of Yunhuo Dance is a little wet, and it seems that sitting next to Zhao Shushi makes her feel a little stressed.
After hearing Ruan Qing finish speaking, Xiao Yu felt a little regretful in his heart.
"I should have chopped him with a knife in the first place, and I beat him up that time, it's too cheap!"
He slammed his fist on the table lightly, his tone cold.
Ruan Qing looked at Xiao Yu's appearance and smiled with relief.
The old housekeeper continued: "The family was originally supported by the general, but now that the family is in the middle of the road, the foundation capital laid by the former general has been squandered by those people in the clan. ”
"Those people have lived a good life for too long, and they haven't stopped eating the empty family, and they have even started to sell their property cheaply, what a bunch of fools, hopelessly stupid!"
The more Ruan Qing spoke, the more angry he became, "They are all losers who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, the general is trapped in Tianyun Pass, and they are lawless in the family, and they can't be at peace!"
"In addition, there are many wolf ambitions outside, and the situation of the Ruan family is worse day by day, but there is no way, a huge family, you have to eat!
I can only set my sights on the West End, and I must do everything myself, so as not to squander the people of the clan!"
"I know it's not glorious to meddle in the business of the West End, so I don't dare to tell the general, he is just and upright, and he will never allow us to do such a thing. ”
Ruan Qing sighed heavily: "Little master, if I hadn't met you today, the Ruan family would have ceased to exist even the last gray industry in the Western District." ”
Xiao Yu was silent, he couldn't imagine that the Ruan family had the name of the eight wealthy families, but inside it was like a high-rise building that was stopped by ants, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was full of holes.
"Actually, there is another reason why I got involved in the West End. ”
Ruan Qing sighed and said with a hint of sadness: "I am here to save the lives of all of our Ruan family!"
