Chapter 3 I don't know if I am a guest in my dream
With a slight shaking and the sound of bony wheels touching the ground, Ruan Jingxin opened her eyes again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the eye could see, it was the top of the carriage wrapped in the brocade of pale blue entwined lotus. Before I could take another look, I heard a call of surprise.
"Xin'er, you're awake. Xiao Shi reached out and tested the temperature on her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally coming down." It scares me to death!"
......Ruan Jingxin looked at Xiao Shi in a daze, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the scene she just crossed over? This should be the time for the family to return to the capital! Her father returned to Beijing after his term of duty, waiting for the assessment of the Ministry of Rites and the next instruction. However, the original Ruan Jingxin contracted a cold on the road because of the difference in climate between the north and the south, and she couldn't afford to get sick. It wasn't until I crossed over that I slowly got better!
"Look at your child, you're just getting better, hurry up and lie down!" Xiao Shi was startled by his daughter's actions, and hurriedly pressed the person again. "Are you hungry? There's nothing to eat in this wilderness, but there's warm porridge for you in the carriage behind!"
How could Ruan Jingxin not be excited, she endured the shock in her heart and asked, "Mother, where are you now?"
"In about two hours, we will arrive at Hebei Mansion. We'll rest there for two days, and then we'll set off when you're better, and it's not far from the capital anyway. Xiao said lightly.
"No!" Ruan Jingxin quickly shook her head. In the previous life, because he delayed his trip, after returning to the capital, he was not only disliked by the old lady, but also suffered a lot with the Xiao family. "Mother, I'm fine. It's the same with sickness in the carriage. ”
"Stop, you can rest better, and you can eat a good meal. Xiao shook her head, nothing was more important to her than her daughter.
"Mother, it's the middle of the month, if you don't rush home before the new year, grandmother will be unhappy again!" Ruan Jingxin saw that her mother was still going to object, and then said, "And now it's not far from home, and I can't rest well if I stop on the road." No matter how good this post station and inn are, there are many inconveniences. It's better to go home and recuperate. ”
Xiao Shi looked at his daughter in silence, always feeling that something was different, and only after a while did he speak, "Okay, just listen to Xin'er." ”
Ruan Jingxin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and secretly sighed that she was a little anxious. The sudden change really made Xiao suspicious. But she couldn't make the mistakes of her previous life.
I have time to plan slowly, and I can't be too obvious and-for-tat. Besides, why did the old lady choose her as a chess piece in the first place? I am afraid that there are also reasons why she does not please her.
"Mother, is my sister awake?" A teenager got into the carriage and saw Ruan Jingxin talking to his mother, and immediately became happy, "Xin'er, but you feel hungry? I rode to a nearby village to buy an old hen." Sister Yuya and Sister Yulu have already made chicken soup and porridge for you! Would you like a bowl?"
Chicken soup porridge is a dish made with rice porridge from the chicken soup burger, the chicken is torn into thin shreds after cooking, and some are put on a little and then garnished with green leaves, which is not only delicious but also beautiful.
"When my brother said that, I was really hungry. Ruan Jingxin smiled at this gentle young man, and her heart was warm. This is her brother, Ruan Chenyuan, who is only two years older than her, but he takes care of her all the time. His literary talent is good, and he is studious, he was admitted to the Tongsheng at the age of eleven, and he must have been able to show off his talents this year, but who knew that something happened after returning to the capital, which caused him to waste three years of life, and even abandoned his studies in the end.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jingxin immediately clenched her fists, in this life, how can you protect your family. Especially this brother, his future must change! The woman who became her sister-in-law in her previous life, in this life, must not let her rely on her again.
Yuye, who had been waiting in the carriage, immediately stood up and went to serve porridge after hearing Ruan Jingxin's words. After a while, he brought back a two-layer box engraved with the pattern of Yutang Fugui, not only a bowl of chicken soup and porridge, but also two plates of small pickles to accompany the meal. In addition, Ruan Jingxin's favorite dim sum also brought a small plate.
Xiao Shi asked Yuye to put down his things and go to rest in the carriage behind, looking at the things on the table and smiled, "Yuye just doesn't like to talk, but she is the most careful." ”
Ruan Jingxin nodded, and after thinking of what happened in the previous life, she said very much in agreement, "What Mother said is extremely true. ”
Ruan Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his sister's appearance as a little adult, "It's a big ghost, hurry up and eat your things." ”
Ruan Jingxin took a sip of porridge with a smile, only to feel that her eyes were a little astringent. This feeling of warmth and happiness has not been felt for a long time. It's all like a dream. It's as if everything in the previous life was a nightmare that had woken up. I can't tell which one is a dream and which one is a real existence.
Ruan Jingxin silently prayed in her heart that if everything was a dream now, she would bless herself from never waking up. She didn't want to face that failed life again.
In fact, Ruan Jingxin's previous life was successful at the beginning. She is truly like a heroine, shining with a halo everywhere. But before she crossed over, she was a relatively simple person, and when she woke up, she was under the care of her parents, and she had never been in love.
After living in the backyard of the Marquis of Yichuan's mansion, although he saw some intrigues and tricks, he still believed too much in the so-called blood kinship. It is even more because love has become blind and lacks vigilance. The final ending is extremely miserable and pitiful.
"It's about to go to the county seat, and it should be in the territory of Hebei Prefecture. Ruan Chen saw that his sister was in a good mood after eating, so he has been talking and chatting with her here. After more than an hour, there were more cars, horses, and pedestrians on the roadside.
Ruan Jingxin opened the curtain with a smile and looked out, and sure enough, there were carriages and ox carts also going in the same direction.
Because they have the brand of the Marquis of Yichuan, and their father is the prefect of Hangzhou who has just completed his term, they entered the city gate smoothly without delaying half a minute of effort.
"Why did it stop?" Xiao asked when he saw the carriage stop.
"Mrs. Hui, I have arrived at the door of the inn. Don't worry, the master has already gone, wait for us to go directly into the inner courtyard and get off. The person serving outside the car replied respectfully.
