40 Chapter 40
What to do?
In the courtyard of the west side hall, the eyes of many show girls fell on the show girl who was wearing a purple red flag dress with embroidered orchid patterns.
"Mo Yaqi, who is Niu Hulu's cousin?" asked the show girl who had previously led the mockery of Niu Hulu's clan uneasily.
"This is the Forbidden City, no matter how powerful her cousin is, he still dares to enter the Forbidden City to bully people?"
"Niu Hulu's ...... Cousin...... It won't be what I thought!" Ma Jiashi, one of the eight surnames, covered his mouth: "...... But I've never seen her before. ”
It is said that she grew up in the south with her parents and has never been to the capital, so it is no wonder that everyone does not recognize her. The show girl named Mo Yaqi looked solemn: "It's what you think in your hearts, her biological mother is from the Hesheri clan." ”
Hesheri!
The prince's cousin!
It's over!
The West Side Hall is in trouble!
……
When the prince received the report from the people below, he had a big head.
Anyway, the matter between the show girls, he is the prince of a country to take care of it, it is too trivial and inappropriate.
No matter how my relatives were bullied, the matter was caused by the mutton fat white jade lotus hairpin given by the deceased aunt, and it was too unkind to come out.
What to do?
The crown prince scratched his head in Yuqing Palace.
"Master, the one from the fourth brother's family is in Chuxiu Palace. Looking at his grandfather for a long time and not thinking of a satisfactory way, Li Jiashi, who was sitting beside him, opened his mouth to remind.
"The ...... of the fourth brother's family Four siblings?...... Ah, it's her. The prince finally reacted, happily turned around and hugged Li Jia's family and kissed him: "That's right, the Ru family is also running for election this year and lives in Chuxiu Palace." ”
"Someone. The crown prince raised his voice to call people.
A little eunuch trotted in, "Master, what do you command?"
"You go to Ling Pu and tell him to let the aunt in charge of Chuxiu Palace assist the Ru clan and help the Niu Hulu clan find the hosta. ”
"Huh!"
……
With a strict and rigid manners that can be used as a textbook, a meticulous hairstyle, and a simple headdress, the forty-year-old who came in a blue flag costume was Aunt Lin, the head of Chuxiu Palace.
It's just that why does Aunt Lin salute herself?
Ru Hui didn't dare to accept the salute, so she turned sideways and got out of the way, but she couldn't stop beating the drum in her heart - I'm afraid that nothing good will happen!
Ru Hui's intuition was not wrong, and the edict from the crown prince spit out of Aunt Lin's mouth made Ru Hui almost lose her temper.
"Let my aunt help me find the hosta for Niu Hulu's family?" asked Ru Hui for the third time to confirm that it was not her auditory hallucination.
"Yes. Aunt Lin was not annoyed, and answered Ru Hui's inquiry affirmatively for the third time, "The edict is indeed from the crown prince." ”
"Aunt is in charge of Chu Xiu Palace, shouldn't I be assisting my aunt?" Knowing that it was impossible to get rid of the relationship, Ru Hui still tried to die: "Besides, I am also a show girl, and I am also suspicious." ”
In order to save herself, Ru Hui didn't mind smearing herself at all.
"Relatives ask for help, and the prince has to make a difference. Seeing the most quiet show girl in the Chuxiu Palace in this world with a frightened face, Aunt Lin felt sympathy, but still ruthlessly broke her luck mentality: "The crown prince has opened his mouth, unless the emperor comes forward, no one can disobey this order." ”
In other words, this offending job must fall into her hands?
With a sigh, Ru Hui had to accompany Bul and Erlan, who were chatting happily, and went to the main hall of Chuxiu Palace with Aunt Lin, where Niu Hulu was assigned to live.
After the master left, Bul and Erlan naturally would not stay in other people's rooms, and the two walked out of the place where Ru Hui lived, standing under the eaves and watching Ru Hui who was surrounded by five or six palace maids and left.
"The crown prince personally ordered the ...... What is the origin of Sister Ru?" Er Lan asked her cousin.
Bul He thought for a while: "Ah Hui said that her father had just been promoted to the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, and there was a brother of the same age as her who had been admitted to Xiucai, and a younger brother who had just reached the age of a month. ”
"That's all?" Er Lan was surprised, "You didn't ask anything else, like her parents' family." ”
Boole He shook his head: "I only told her that my father took the title of ancestor, and there are five older brothers, two older sisters, and eight younger brothers in the family." ”
Two sisters, obviously they are just her cousins.
Er Lan took a deep look at Bour He, lowered her head, this cousin's heart is really good, even if she is just a cousin, and her mother is dead and her father does not rely on, but she has always treated her like her own siblings...... Although she was also jealous of her, she also thought about why she was not the daughter of the third uncle in the middle of the night, and how happy she should be if she had a father who doted on her daughter like the third uncle.
But it's not!
She only has a father who treats her like a mustard, and that man does not hesitate to pour dirty water on his wife and trample and humiliate the daughter born to his wife in order to please his stepfamily...... During countless sleepless, painful, tear-soaked nights, she thought about her mother, who had died young, and wished she could dream to tell her father why he had changed...... When he was young, he also cared for her and protected her.
She wanted to ask why her father took her step-family home only a few months after her mother's death, and then loved her stepmother's ex-husband's son as his own son, but regarded her, his own blood and blood, as an enemy......
Erlan was very unfortunate, because she lost her mother at a young age, and after her mother died, she never wore a new dress, obviously living by her father's side, but her life was more miserable and difficult than that of an orphan;
Fortunately, the unfortunate Er Lan was not completely forgotten by luck, at the age of fourteen, the third uncle finally reached out and pulled her out of purgatory, she lived in the third uncle's house, and the third aunt found a nurturing grandmother for her...... In the next two years, she gritted her teeth, was not afraid of hardship, was not afraid of tiredness, and picked up all the delayed upbringing, and then, in the draft, she successfully passed the reselection.
It's just that years of tormented life still leave an indelible mark on her, she is shy and doesn't like to socialize with people, it's hard for her to trust anyone, even if she still thinks that Ru Hui is a worthy person to associate with at the last moment, at this moment, she will wonder if she has anything else in mind when she intersects with her cousin......
Raising his eyes to the sky, waiting for the tears in his eyes to fade successfully, Er Lanfang smiled and said: "When Sister Ru comes back, let's come to her again and see if there is anything that can help, after all, it is your friend, if we encounter such a difficult matter, we can help, we will help her." ”
She had suffered a lot and received graces, and after her mother's death, there were people who cared for her and some people who had sympathy for her...... People's hearts are not all bad, so how can she not treat the world with kindness.
Hearing Er Lan say that he wanted to help Ru Hui, Bul He was so happy that he hugged his cousin's arm, "Sister, you are the best." ”
Looking at Bull and Cheerful's smile without a hint of gloom, Er Lan chuckled, even now, she was still jealous of her cousin's good life, but, from the bottom of her heart, she only wished her cousin a worry-free life.
……
When Ru Hui and Aunt Lin walked into Niu Hulu's room, the twelve-year-old girl was lying on the bedside sobbing, and the show girl in the same room had already avoided it in order not to get into trouble.
Seeing Aunt Lin dressed in a flag suit, Niu Hulu turned over and sat up, praying with a look of anticipation: "Is my cousin here?"
Aunt Lin saluted as usual: "The prince ordered the servants to assist the show girl Ru Jia's family to help Gege find the hosta. ”
"Show girl, Ru Jia's family?" Niu Hulu looked surprised, raised his finger and stood on the side Ru Hui, who was dressed in a show girl costume: "Why did your cousin let her come forward? Besides, she is also a show girl, shouldn't she avoid suspicion?"
Ru Hui was amused when she heard it: "What Gege said is very important, I am also a show girl, I am also suspicious, so ......" Ru Hui turned around and saluted solemnly to Aunt Lin: "Please aunt return to the prince, Ru is ashamed and can't do errands for the prince." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the reaction of everyone in the room, he turned around and left.
Great, let's go!
With her legs walking out of the main hall with Ru Hui at an unprecedented frequency, she walked through the bluestone-paved courtyard in front of the main hall, and she could walk out of the gate in front of the main hall.
"Alas, you come back. The girl's delicate voice, with anxiety, chased out.
Ru Hui turned a deaf ear and continued her journey for her life.
"Ru Jiashi, you dare to run, you still run, I want to tell my cousin that you don't help me. The girl was so angry that she ran from the courtyard with the bottom of a flower pot on.
Looking at the gate that was close at hand, Ru Hui sighed and stopped resignedly.
"You run, where are you running!" A panting little body pounced and slammed into Ru Hui's arms, and at the same time, two small hands grabbed Ru Hui's arm tightly like grasping a life-saving straw, and refused to let go.
The girl in her arms is a head shorter than Ru Hui, and it is estimated that she is almost 1.5 meters by Ru Hui's eyesight, and I have to say that it is not bad that she can grow so tall at the age of twelve.
Niu Hulu gasped, raised his head and glared at Ru Hui with hatred and gritted his teeth: "Wearing the bottom of the flower pot, you are still running so fast!"
"Gege is not slow. Ru Hui lowered her head and chuckled.
"Hmph. Niu Hulu raised his chin and looked proud: "E-Niang said that Tana's kung fu at the bottom of the flower pot is the best." ”
Ru Hui nodded, this girl's physical coordination is really good, you know, this running at the bottom of a flower pot is much more difficult than running with high heels in modern times, I want to come to Tana, this little girl usually does not do less "physical exercise", it is estimated that because of this, she neglected "mental activities", and she will run to the west side hall to talk after losing the hosta, and as a result, she offended the show girl in the first hall.
Captured, yes, this deserter seems to be out of place.
There was no way, Ru Hui could only return to the room in the main hall with Tana, who was holding her tightly and refusing to do it again, and swore to die as a pendant on her hand.
"Come, tell me what you have done in the past few days when you entered Chuxiu Palace, who you have been dealing with, and the exact time when you saw the hosta with your own eyes for the last time. Ru Hui sat in the room, let Tana sit down, and began to carefully ask her about her daily life these days, since she can't run, let's do things seriously, find the hosta as soon as possible, and relax as soon as possible.
