Chapter 203: Have You Figured It Down?
Cleaning the battlefield and interrogating prisoners naturally didn't have to worry about Ruan Jingxin. What she needs to do now is to hurry back home and have a good rest, and then welcome her father and brother to Yangzhou full of energy!
That's right, Ruan Guanqi and Ruan Chenyuan and their entourage will arrive in about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Because communication is inconvenient, they don't know the exact time, so they can only calculate the approximate days, and then send people to wait at the dock every day to be ready at any time.
If her father knew that she was here as a prisoner and watched the execution, she wouldn't know if she would be able to stand it!
Dongfang Xu was also a little absent-minded, after all, he was going to meet his future father-in-law, and he had to make a good impression on others.
The two of them went back to the house first, without saying any overly intimate words or any physical contact, they cared about letting each other rest well, and made an appointment to have dinner together and went back to their own courtyards.
"Miss," Cuiluo helped Ruan Jingxin put the water, and while helping her take off her clothes and remove the hairpin ring on her head, she replied, "The main courtyard where the master lives has always been specially cleaned, and I have asked people to change new sheets, bedding and tents. And the yard where the eldest young master is going to live has also been cleaned, and daily necessities have been placed according to the habits of the eldest young master. Even Mr. Kong's guest house has been prepared, and it is the courtyard planted with ink bamboo. ”
Ruan Jingxin nodded with satisfaction, "You did a good job, you really don't have to worry about some trivial matters with you out." These days, let the kitchen stock up on some of my father's and eldest brother's favorite foods, as long as Mr. Kong has good wine. ”
"It's all ready!, don't worry!" Cui Luo replied with a smile.
Ruan Jingxin took a comfortable bath, and after drying her hair, she took a nap peacefully.
"Miss, Jin Gongzi is waiting to see you in the small study. Xiangbo saw Ruan Jingxin wake up, so he poured her a glass of water according to her custom.
Ruan Jingxin stretched, "Help me bring my clothes, let's go over and take a look." ”
Jin Shijie helped Xiao Renqing deal with everything before coming back. Although he was mixed in the three religions and nine streams, he would try his best to make himself as comfortable as possible because of his superior background, so he came back to have a good meal and took a bath before he came to Ruan Jingxin.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Ruan Jingxin made this headless and unfinished words a little confusing, "What did you say?"
Jin Shijie pondered for a while and said, "I mean, have you ever thought about what you will encounter with Dongfang Xu?"
Ruan Jingxin smiled, "What's the matter, worried about what situation I can't handle?"
"Dongfang Xu is still similar to the identity of a proton now!" Jin Shijie frowned, with a serious face, "He only showed the surface of his work for the prince, but in fact, he has always been the emperor's knife." He probably didn't have a good impression of those people in Dingxi Palace. Of course, the Dingxi Palace's side is afraid that he will roll away. ”
Ruan Jingxin naturally knows something about the Dingxi Palace. The king of Dingxi was a capable man, and the whole west relied on his perennial guard to resist those fierce people born on horseback. He has a handsome face and a tall figure, and is the dream lover of many women. And his original partner was Dongfang Xu's mother, who was also a famous beauty back then. Not only can he write well, but he is also good at riding and shooting.
The union of the two is also a good story that has been praised for a long time. But the good times didn't last long, Dongfang Xu's mother passed away early, and then Dongfang Xu had an extra mother.
What is this concubine is none other than Dongfang Xu's mother's sister-in-law, that is, his aunt. The aunt occupied her mother's position, which may have been a blessing in misfortune for Dongfang Xu, who was underage at the time. After all, they are from a family, and they are siblings of the same mother, how can they love their sister's children a little more, right?
But this is not the case. On the surface, this aunt said that she was afraid of being accused of 'drowning', and she was very strict with Dongfang Xu, saying that he was the future king of Dingxi, and he couldn't relax a little. In private, he tried his best to make Dongfang Xu lose the favor of King Dingxi, so that the father and son respected each other. Later, Dongfang Xu was sent to the capital.
Many people thought that the emperor asked to send the prince to Beijing, but in fact, the emperor did not require that he must be the prince at that time. But any son of the king of Dingxi can be.
King Dingxi didn't know if he understood what the emperor meant, or thought that the emperor wanted to see his sincerity, so he actually sent Dongfang Xu.
"You also know something, don't you?" Jin Shijie saw that Ruan Jingxin was silent, so he said again, "The Dingxi Palace is also a muddy puddle! If you step into it, you won't be able to get out of it later." You know, if it's a simple house chaos, it's not terrible, but it's terrible that all the people are only against him. ”
Ruan Jingxin poured herself a cup of tea and said faintly, "Now that we're here, which family doesn't have some bad things in their backyards? Not to mention that if we are really together, it is impossible to go back there." Dongfang Xu's position as the son of the world, we are not uncommon. ”
"You are not rare, but you must bear it!Otherwise, it may not be Dongfang Xu who will be the proton, but the flesh of that person's heart!" Jin Shijie shook his head, "When the time comes for the king of Dingxi to be unable and need someone to take over the position, you will become a thorn in the flesh." It is impossible for them to give up the throne like this! Even if Dongfang Xu inherits the throne smoothly, and the Dingxi Royal Mansion has been run like an iron bucket, there will still be no half of the way to live for you. ”
Ruan Jingxin looked at Jin Shijie, "I am grateful for you telling me this, but emotional matters cannot be thought about rationally." I have a crush on this person, so I will naturally share the wind and rain with him. If there is anything that needs to be faced, we will face it together. ”
Jin Shijie looked at Ruan Jingxin for a long time and sighed softly, "I knew from the beginning that you were a different woman. Even in the most difficult situation, you will never be afraid of timidity. I should believe that your ability can solve everything. "But I don't want to spend my energy fighting with the women in the back house. You're supposed to be a free-flying bird in the sky, no, an eagle!
Jin Shijie's heart is very complicated, and even if he is with him, he can't guarantee that he can get out of the Jin Mansion. Ruan Jingxin also has to spend some energy in the battle in the backyard. And himself, even if he can work hard to make some achievements, can he dare to say that he can do better than Dongfang Xu?
Ruan Jingxin saw that Jin Shijie was sincerely thinking about her, and her heart softened, "No matter what, thank you for saying this today." And my attitude is also very clear, if Dongfang Xu is worthy, I am not afraid of anything, if he is not worthy, I will not be stupid to jump into the mud pit by myself. She winked playfully after saying this, "Besides, how old am I?
