Yufu, backyard, wing.

This is the most lively place in Yufu except for the front hall, because there is today's protagonist, Yu Hongzhi's bride Xiao Ruyi Xiao.

The maids helped her make up in the mirror, changed into red clothes, and smeared rouge, but there was no smile on the flower-like face in the mirror.

People can also understand how fierce their wife Tang Ruolan is, and this young and beautiful helpless woman is going to be a concubine in this mansion......

No one can laugh.

After the grooming was finished, Xiao Ruyi was still in a daze in the mirror, and the auspicious time had not yet arrived, so everyone was waiting with her.

However, after a while, something that made people shudder happened - the lady came.

Tang Ruolan is wearing the robe of the main room, and she will accept the toast of the newcomer when she salutes later, her dress today is also exquisite, and her demeanor is excellent, but after all, she has passed away, and she has given birth to children, her appearance is slightly inferior, and her face and expression are very mean, which makes people scary when she looks at it.

The people who were still whispering and gossiping immediately fell silent, and a spirit stood up, retreated to the door, and greeted Madame, but Xiao Ruyi still did not move.

Tang Ruolan walked into the room, and looked at the woman she bought from the traffickers with a scornful gaze, she was seventeen years old, born with a peugeot, and she could show her outstanding appearance among the dirty girls, and now she changed into neat clothes and dressed up, which was really moving.

She didn't go specifically to pick a concubine for her husband, but when she passed by outside the southern city, she saw a few people whipping a group of women away, she couldn't stand it, and asked someone to inquire, only to know that it was a human trafficker, who was driving the girls they had kidnapped into the city and selling them into the Qinglou as prostitutes. She couldn't stand it, so she shot angrily, and led her entourage to beat those traffickers to a half-dead death, and handed them over to the government, gave those girls silver and let them go home, and a few homeless begged her to take them in, she didn't want to, so she asked someone to arrange a proper place for them, but she picked Xiao Ruyi among them and brought them home.

What she considered was that her husband was now a second-class man, but he only had a wife, and it was inevitable that he would be laughed at, so she wanted to pick an obedient and obedient one and put it at home to behave. I never thought that this Xiao Ruyi was not obedient, cold-spoken, arrogant, and hung his face on people all day long, it seems that he is not a good stubble. It's useless to regret it now, so she can only look at the training in the future, so this time, she just came to give Xiao Ruyi a dismount.

Tang Ruolan stopped in front of the mirror, looked at Xiao Ruyi in the mirror, sneered on her face and spread her face, put her hands on her shoulders, and patted her: "Well, yes, I know that you have a good appearance." ”

Xiao Ruyi sneered: "Mrs. Xie praises." ”

Tang Ruolan frowned, the hand on her right shoulder hooked forward along her collarbone, pinched her chin, and her tone became more forceful: "But it's not enough to look good, you have to understand the rules of the house when you enter the door, and you have a sense of proportion in everything, don't make a mistake and do something unhappy!"

Xiao Ruyi really wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, she put aside Tang Ruolan's hand, turned her face to look up at Tang Ruolan, and said coldly: "It's something that makes Madame unhappy, right? Then Madame, you'd better not let adults enter my room, otherwise Madame, there will be more times when you are unhappy." ”

Everyone gasped in their hearts, seeing that Tang Ruolan was about to explode when they were provoked, they yelled at them: "All go out! Mrs. Ben must train this shameless little girl well!"

The people were shocked, and they didn't dare to persuade them, so they all withdrew and closed the door, thinking that they had guessed correctly, and this happy event of taking a concubine might be yellow.

"You little girl, you are talking to me like this?"

As soon as the door closed, the words were still questioning, but the tone changed completely, like a storm suddenly turning into a gentle spring breeze, which was completely coquettish.

Tang Ruolan held Xiao Ruyi's face, pointed at the tip of her nose, and 'scolded' her.

Xiao Ruyi's face was completely cold, she pursed her mouth, grabbed Tang Ruolan's arm with both hands, shook it, and said coquettishly: "Sister Lan, I don't want to be a concubine for him......"

"Don't be ...... like this," Tang Ruolan persuaded her.

She hugged Tang Ruolan's waist, like a tantrum kitten, "I don't want it, I just want to be with Sister Lan...... You saved me, I'm your person, I don't want to serve others, I'm still a man...... Oh my God......"

Tang Ruolan's eyes were distressed and helpless, and she caressed her face very dotingly, and coaxed her: "But, that's my husband, only in this way can we be together forever...... Don't make a fuss, go and salute him, and get the name in hand, and then talk about ......it."

has been married for more than ten years, and Yu Hongzhi has never seen his wife so gentle and patient.

"Then I don't want to ...... with him," Xiao Ruyi could only be obedient and compromised.

Tang Ruolan thought for a moment, "Okay then...... I'll make a fuss when the time comes, and see if he dares to enter your room......"

Xiao Ruyi finally smiled, stood up, hugged Tang Ruolan, kissed her, and left lipstick marks on her face.

Tang Ruolan smiled shyly, took the handkerchief out to wipe her face, and Xiao Ruyi took her handkerchief first and approached her again: "Sister Lan, I'll help you wipe it......"

"Hmm...... Also, Ruyi, after so many years of husband and wife, in fact, I also have him in my heart...... He's a very nice guy, can you try to accept him slowly in the future?"

After a pause, Yiren's eyes were like water, "Okay, for you, I'm willing...... I know you're trying to make me your family, not a sneaky relationship......"

Wiped it off little by little, the vermilion color stained the veil, like a blooming flower, as bright and gorgeous as two delicate faces, wiped clean, she still did not retreat.

Close at hand, the two looked at each other, their eyes were infinitely warm, her eyelashes blinked, and the distance between the two faces was gradually shortened until there was no distance.

……

She is dressed plainly and elegantly, the hosta is pulled up in a high bun, without powder, standing between a group of official ladies, smiling and saluting with them, polite and polite, polite and disproportionate, every move is pleasing to the eye, even if it is deliberately low-key today, it is difficult to hide the stunning posture, attracting people's attention.

Before the wedding banquet began, the front yard of Yufu was full of talking and laughing officials and rich people, she accompanied Yang Rong'an, shuttled between the guests with him, first accompanied him to greet his colleagues, and greeted Shangguan, she couldn't stand it in less than half an hour, and those eyes made her feel very uncomfortable when she hadn't gone out to see people for a long time.

Originally, she still wouldn't come, just because Yu Hongzhi was Yang Rongan's top boss, and it was not good for her, the lady of the main house, not to come to the banquet with her husband, she tried her best to disguise nature and hide her inner uneasiness, but it was still difficult to insist.

Strange, she wasn't like this before...... Where did her self-confidence, her calmness, and her happiness go?

She told Yang Rongan early that she felt a little bad, and she was afraid that she would not be able to accompany him to meet all her colleagues, so she first went to the attic tea room in the inner courtyard behind the main hall to meet the official wives to meet her, but when the official wives saw her, she was also very rare and pure, so she had to support it reluctantly.

However, at some point, she finally couldn't hold it anymore......

Looking down from the attic window, you can see people coming in and out of the front yard gate of Yufu. There was a sudden obvious change in the front yard, and the people who were originally in groups had a tendency to move to the front door, and the housekeeper of the Yu Mansion raised a voice at the door to inform the visitor's name and surname: "Lord Gu, the Imperial Doctor, Lord Gu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, and the Servant Gu of the Two Departments of Work and Punishment, come to the wedding banquet!"

Everyone didn't expect them to come back, including her.

The figure of that person appeared in her field of vision, although it was only a vague figure in the distance, it was enough to shake the mountain in her heart.

At that moment, Jiang Xiange suddenly lost control, her face was pale, tears were about to come out, she ran out with the hem of her clothes, staggering and panicked to surprise everyone, and she just pushed away the people and things that stood in the way, and ran all the way downstairs.

The stairs of the attic tea room were narrow, her clothes were heavy, and while running like crazy, she accidentally slipped on the stairs and fell hard, which hurt so much that she woke up.

What are you doing?

She sat on the stairs and froze.

But the impulse in my heart can't deceive myself......

She just wants to see the people she cares about.

Others rushed to help her, and she stood up in embarrassment, endured the pain in her ankle, ignored the greetings of others, and walked forward in a daze, as if she had made up her mind.

Passing through the back door of the main hall, she could hear the noisy crowd, the voices of "Master Gu" one after another, she was getting closer and closer to them, and after a few more steps, she could see ......

"String songs. Yang Rongan suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way, his face was very cold.

She stopped in horror and looked at him timidly, her eyes unconsciously revealing a pitiful pleading.

"You're not feeling well, it's time to go back and rest, our carriage is in the backyard, you and Tang Huan go back first." ”

It's almost a commanding tone.

Her heart trembled, and she said no, no, no, no......

But as soon as he spoke, he only: "Okay, then you apologize to the master's family on my behalf." ”

Jiang Xiange's gaze swept over the door leading to the front yard behind Yang Rong'an, turned away, her eyes were silently red, surrounded by people, she couldn't let the tears fall, she could only raise them slightly, and pulled out a smile, trapping the tears that were about to pour down.

By the time she walked through countless people, walked through several long corridors, and walked out of the backyard under the guidance of her subordinates, the tears in her eyes had dried out, and only sour pain remained.

There were carriages parked outside the back door, and she went to find the car with the word 'Yang' written on it, where Tang Huan and her entourage were waiting for her......

With tears dry, her eyes aching and her vision blurry, she walked straight ahead, ignoring a figure next to her.

"String songs. ”

As the voice came from behind, a roar sounded in her head, as if the sky was falling apart.

She turned, her eyes wide sour, and she saw the man clearly.

She couldn't speak, she didn't want to cry anymore, she just stared blankly......

Gu Qingxuan walked towards her from the Gu family's carriage, looked at her with some doubts, and looked very concerned: "Xiangge, what's wrong with you? Didn't you come to the banquet? Leave so early?"

He originally got out of the car at the front door, and the entourage drove the car to the back door to park, but he suddenly remembered that he had something important left in the car, so he came out to look for it, not wanting to run into Jiang Xiange.

She didn't answer, he was already close, his hands in his sleeves, looked at her, and smiled: "Why don't you speak? I haven't seen you for nearly a year, have you forgotten who your uncle is? Are you afraid that your uncle will blame you for not coming to the Gu Mansion? No, we all know that Xian Ge is married and has his own small family, of course, he has to put his husband first, how can he run around?"

After a pause, she was still silent, Gu Qingxuan was still like coaxing a child, smiling broadly: "Okay, don't mention the past, since you met, uncle just wants to know, Xiange, how are you doing?"

At this moment, she actually felt heartfelt happiness......

"Uncle Xie cares. Salute, both as a salute and as a farewell, smile, and take one last look: "I'm fine." ”

Heavy as a mountain, as vast as the sea, with a thousand thoughts, but a smile, a simple three words.

"That's good, take care. ”

……

The next day, the Ministry of Rites Shangshutang.

After the early dynasty, Yu Hongzhi and Yang Rongan went to the office to sign the Mao, both of them had no spirit, Yang Rongan was particularly indifferent, did not care about people, and went to the Shilang Court to assemble after the order, he asked the Ministry of Rites Langzhong to preside over on his behalf, only discussed some things with Yu Hongzhi in the Shangshu Mansion, and said a few words, the people who were doing things were listless and did not match the preface, and the obedient people also looked distracted, and even Wang Miao, the master of Shangshu Hall, who was present, couldn't stand it, and coughed again and again to remind them.

After Yang Rong'an left, Yu Hongzhi rubbed his eyes, yawned, and turned his head to look at Wang Miao: "What's wrong with Yang Shilang today......?"

Wang Miao looked at him and was dumbfounded for a while, "Huh...... Don't you think you're more ...... my lord. Aren't you energetic?"

The main book of Shangshutang is the head of a peng, Wang Miao is very old-fashioned, and knows the subtle relationship between the officials and the officials, so Yu Hongyi took office, and he did a lot of things for Yu Hongzhi to calm Yu Hongzhi's heart and confuse him into thinking that he was his person. Yu Hongzhi didn't know this, so he was led away, he trusted Wang Miao very much, and he had a good personal relationship with him.

Yu Hongzhi raised his hands and rubbed his face, "Really?"

Wang Miao walked closer and smiled deeply: "My lord must be very tired from his wedding yesterday, right? It's normal to be in a state almost today, but adults still have to focus on their bodies and don't get tired." ”

Yu Hongzhi nodded, didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Yes...... It's too tiring to do a happy event, and I drank a lot......" only then did he understand the meaning of Wang Miao's words, and smiled, "Eh, heh, where do you want to go? It's not that kind of thing......"

He frowned, as if remembering something distressing, and whispered, "I want to...... You have to be able to touch it......"

Wang Miao came closer and said with a wicked smile: "What's the matter? Last night...... Is there anything inconvenient for adults?"

Yu Hongzhi hesitated, opened his mouth several times, and stammered: "It's not me...... It's her...... No, it's me...... Oh, I don't know how to say it......"

Wang Miao's eyes rolled, and he had an idea, revealing a 'wise' look: "My lord, let's do it, my subordinates will tell you a story." In the past, there was a cultivator who cultivated immortals and alchemists, cultivated hard, and finally went to the Nine Heavens, came to the fairy's Yao Pond, and wanted to eat the legendary 'peach' that can make people feather into immortals and ascend to Bliss, this peach is taken care of by the little fairy, he could have easily got his wish, but there was a very fierce big fairy outside this Yao Pond, he just stopped him, did not let him see the little fairy, he couldn't fight the big fairy, and finally could only return exhausted and disappointed. ”

After telling this 'story' with a fluttering eyebrow, he looked at Yu Hongzhi and asked, "Is this so?" ”

However, Yu Hongzhi looked confused, and looked at Wang Miao dumbfounded: "Ah, what, this story is meaningless......

Wang Miao felt that his heart was clogged, and he really wanted to ask him, my lord, have you really been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Why can he handle no matter how complicated the official affairs are, and he is confused when he encounters such ordinary mundane things?

"My lord, think about it again......" Wang Miao was also helpless, so he could only wink his eyebrows at him and try his best to hint.

Yu Hongzhi used his brain, thought about it for a while, and then came back to his senses, thought it was wonderful, and held back a smile, "Oh...... Actually, yes and no. ”

Okay, I can finally believe that he didn't buy an official. Wang Miao moved closer to him: "What is that? Did that person eat 'peach'?"

Yu Hongzhi shook his head embarrassedly: "No ......"

"Stopped by the great fairy?" Wang Miao looked at him.

"No, the big fairy was driven away, but the little fairy was unwilling to give the peach to others. ”

"Why?"

"I guess it's shy, I don't want to, I really don't understand women......" He said it at once, and hurriedly changed his color: "I don't understand 'fairy'...... Who knows what they're thinking?"

Wang Miao helped him think for a while, and laughed again, "My lord, this is normal, the 'little fairy' is not free, and it is also a last resort, it is inevitable that she will not be happy, and it is the 'first time' to see a mortal, and it is understandable that she is nervous and rejected." ”

"Then what should I do? How can that person eat 'peach'?" Yu Hongzhi 'humbly asks for advice'.

Wang Miao said: "It's very simple, that person can use the 'magic elixir'......"

"Miracle medicine?" Yu Hongzhi was stunned again, bowed his head and hesitated for a long time, attached to Wang Miao's ear, and asked, "What if I don't have it?"

Wang Miao held back a smile, looked like a bamboo in his chest, stopped for a while, didn't speak, only reached out to get a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and raised his eyebrows at Yu Hongzhi after writing.

Yu Hongzhi looked at it, it seemed that he was a little entangled, and he was struggling in his heart, but in the end he folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.

And all this was heard by Yang Rongan.

Before he left Shangshu's house, he remembered one more thing on the way and forgot to say, so he turned back, not wanting to hear them gossiping, so he didn't go in to avoid embarrassment when he got to the door, he wanted to go first, but he heard ......

A few days later, Yang Rongan privately found Wang Miao.
