Chapter 135: Self-defeating

Qiu Ruolan looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she was in a hurry in her heart, for fear that Lu Guogong's mother and son would leave early, she didn't know why Duchess Lu treated her coldly this time, so she thought of this opportunity to get the green eyes of Duchess Lu again, otherwise I was afraid that she would not be able to enter the house in Qiufeng Villa in the future.

Finally waited for the completion of the vow, Qiu Ruolan inquired that Qiu Ruyi had not yet gone to visit the Duchess of Lu Guo, so she asked the little nun to lead her to see Qiu Ruyi, and wanted to invite her to meet the Duchess of Lu Guo together.

It's not that Qiu Ruolan is kind and wants to fulfill Qiu Ruyi, but because she can't figure out why Duchess Lu Guo didn't summon Qiu Ruyi.

She rashly asked to see, in case she displeased the Duchess of Lu Guo, dragged Qiu Ruyi, and many people shared it, if there was really any benefit, she would have a way to make this benefit not leave at all in Qiu Ruyi.

Once bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and now Qiu Ruolan is basically a weasel with a bad stomach in Qiu Ruyi's eyes, and she can hide if she can.

So as soon as she heard that Qiu Ruolan came to speak, Qiu Ruyi didn't think about it, and said directly: "Just say that I want to chant now, and I can't let people disturb me, so it's inconvenient to see each other." ”

Qiu Ruolan listened to it at the courtyard gate, sneered secretly in her heart, and turned around and left.

However, Duchess Lu Guo has already finished doing Buddhist things, and she is not in a hurry to return to Qiufeng Villa, and she is also a little chattering when she hears Ming Yin and others talking about Buddhist things, and she is trying to talk to a layman.

An Shicheng is a man, not as rapping as a woman, and he has something in his heart, so he has no words anymore, so he just waits in front of the door.

Hearing Qiu Ruolan's request to see, she really dozed off and met the pillow. Duchess Lu Guo smiled and ordered someone to invite Qiu Ruolan to come in and talk.

An Shicheng had to quit the room to avoid suspicion.

In the end, the Zen courtyard in the nunnery is simple, there is no verandah in the courtyard, only a bluestone road extends from the front of the door to the door, since there is only one road, it is logical for An Shicheng and Qiu Ruolan to meet in the courtyard.

An Shicheng's status is higher than that of Qiu Ruolan, and there is a difference between men and women, so I saw that he didn't see Qiu Ruolan at this time, and walked out by himself.

Qiu Ruolan slowly walked on the bluestone road head-on, until An Shicheng walked in front of him. She just gave the salute. said softly: "Ruolan has seen Gongzi An. In this way, it just blocked An Shicheng's way forward.

It turned out that Qiu Ruolan knew An Shicheng best.

Although the Guogong Mansion became a powerful person from a poor background, so it is not as powerful as the ordinary powerful family, An Shicheng himself is also a good man in the eyes of everyone. I have always met friends with words. Never overpowering others.

But Qiu Ruolan knew that he had always admired Confucianism. Neili is extremely particular about following the three outlines and five constants, and believes that men are valued for strength. Therefore, although he avoided her out of etiquette, he would never give way to himself, a little girl from the Qiu family.

Sure enough, I saw An Shicheng striding from the bluestone road. If the other women saw it, they retreated to the dirt road and let An Shicheng go first.

But Qiu Ruolan made up her mind in her heart at this time, and she was determined to appear in front of An Shicheng today.

Previously, Qiu Ruolan was afraid that An Shicheng would make a mistake, so she had been stuck and had never really contacted An Shicheng, but now she suspected that Duchess Lu Guo might have chosen Qiu Ruyi in her heart, and she had no choice but to face An Shicheng, she was still very confident in her appearance and gentle and sweet temperament.

Besides, An Shicheng was suddenly blocked by a woman, and couldn't help frowning: What a woman who doesn't understand the rules.

Hearing the person in front of him call himself "Ruolan", he suddenly realized in his heart that this was the famous "Qiu Ruolan".

An Shicheng's eyes couldn't help but sweep over Qiu Ruolan, feeling quite strange in his heart, he looked familiar, could it be that he had seen it before?

Qiu Ruolan's eyes cut the water, and when she saw An Shicheng frowning, she couldn't help but think of An Shicheng in her previous life: When facing other women, no matter how delicate and tender the other party was, he was so stunned and cold, but he didn't expect to enjoy this kind of "treatment" today.

While Qiu Ruolan sighed secretly in her heart, she suddenly found that An Shicheng's eyes seemed to be rolling on her.

She was overjoyed in her heart, she knew that this meant that An Shicheng had put a lot of thought into it, and she couldn't help but clarify her starry eyes more and more, shy and timid.

An Shicheng had already changed his mind, from last year to now, except for Qiu Ruyi, he had also seen a few other ladies of the Qiu family, but he didn't take it to heart, maybe he had seen it before, and it was not unusual to feel a little familiar at this time.

An Shicheng saw that Qiu Ruolan was just peeking at herself, and became more and more displeased, knowing that she had no intention of giving way, so he let out a sound from his throat, then nodded, and walked over with a blank face, and his impression of Qiu Ruolan in his heart was even worse: I only knew that she was a scheming person before, but now it seems that she still doesn't understand the defense of men and women, is frivolous and rude, and doesn't know how to be inferior. He has also seen a few women from all families, and Qiu Ruolan is the most rude, it seems that he has to tell Qiu Ruyi well, don't get too close to this kind of person, so as not to be damaged.

However, Qiu Ruolan didn't know the work of the two of them, An Shicheng had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she just sighed in her heart according to An Shicheng's expression: He is still as incomprehensible as ever, he never knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, no matter how immortal the other party is, he will never pretend to be a little angry.

But she will not be discouraged, of course, it is important to please Duchess Lu Guo first, so as not to be excluded from the Guogong Mansion, and the chance is even more slim.

Under Qiu Ruolan's intentional flattery, Duchess Lu Guo was in a good mood, and said to Qiu Ruolan a little complainingly: "When you were in the capital, you often came to the house to play, why did you go back to Shunyang City, and you never went to the door of Qiufeng Villa, and the manors of the two families were still next to each other. ”

When Qiu Ruolan heard this, she smiled bitterly in her heart, Duchess Lu Guo was really beaten upside down.

As soon as Duchess Lu Guo arrived at Qiufeng Villa, she began to send out invitations, and almost every day there were many guests, how could she be able to visit in the air? That is, Duchess Lu Guo really had free time, she had no invitations in hand, and she came to visit, I am afraid that she would just be boring for herself.

Of course, Qiu Ruolan couldn't say these things to Duchess Lu Guo, she had just tried her best to please Duchess Lu Guo, if she really wanted to say it, her hard work would be in vain.

Qiu Ruolan smiled obediently: "Ruolan also wishes that she could always follow Madame and listen to Madame's teachings." It's just that some time ago, my mother was unwell, although I rushed back from the capital in time to ask a famous doctor for her old man's treatment, but the illness was like a thread, and I had to serve in front of my mother, and I did my best to help recuperate my body every day, so how could I have the mind and time to go out and move around. Now that my mother has finally recovered, I can rest assured that I can come here to make a vow, but I didn't expect to meet my wife and also worship the Buddha, I think it is God to see that I admire my wife's piousness, so let me meet my wife here. ”

When Duchess Lu Guo heard this, she nodded and praised: "I can't see that you are really filial." Speaking of which, I'm not the only one here to worship the Buddha today, but you're afraid you don't know that your cousin, Miss Ruyi, is also doing Buddha things here. ”

Qiu Ruolan was still thinking about how to draw Qiu Ruyi to get better eye medicine, but after listening to the words of Duchess Lu Guo, she took advantage of the situation and said: "I heard from my family that she came early in the morning, and just after I finished doing the rituals, I thought about inviting her to come over, but I didn't know that she was still chanting the scriptures, saying that she couldn't see outsiders, so I had to come over first." ”

For a while, he was puzzled: "Ordinary things, it's almost a moment and a half, I don't know what sister Ruyi made to make a big wish, and it took such a long time to do things?"

Master Ming Yin was listening, and couldn't help but look at Qiu Ruolan carefully, and smiled at Duchess Lu Guo: "I just said that Miss Ruyi is a filial piety, every time she comes, she recites the whole family in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and I heard that she is about to add a little nephew, but I am afraid that she will have to chant more and more scriptures in front of the Buddha." ”

Duchess Lu Guo smiled, she had already heard the meaning of Qiu Ruolan's words, this was Qiu Ruyi's deliberate excuse not to see her.

Duchess Lu Guo didn't blame Qiu Ruyi, presumably Qiu Ruyi knew about the marriage between the two families, and this son was ashamed, so she refused to come over - although it was a bit rude, but it was also excusable, maybe Qiu Ruyi would be praying in front of the Buddha for this family affair now.

As for the provocation in Qiu Ruolan's mouth, Duchess Lu Guo didn't care at all, she knew that Qiu Ruolan was a scheming person, and she was afraid that she was still fighting for the family affairs of the Guogong Mansion at this time, forgive her for being a little girl with no family background and not making any waves, and at this time she would flatter her, coaxing her to be happy, so she didn't care too much about these.

Qiu Ruolan knew the preferences of Duchess Lu very well, and rarely had the opportunity to talk to Duchess Lu alone in the past, so she tried her best to give full play to her advantages at this time, and her witty words were full of joy, which made Duchess Lu Guo's heart full of joy.

An Shicheng got the news, so he ate casually outside. After eating, I was about to go to my mother's place to serve, but I met Master Mingyin, who came out to deal with affairs.

An Shicheng remembered Qiu Ruyi's suggestion, so he asked.

Master Ming Yin smiled and said, "Lord An Shi is really well-informed, it must be the Qiu family brothers and sisters who sue you." Those begonias were planted by my master when she was there, because she often chanted under the trees, and the flowers bloomed every year with some spirituality and were different. If it weren't for the extremely affectionate and devout benefactor, I wouldn't have invited you to appreciate it. Today, it seems that they have a relationship with Madame, and if Madame is interested in a while, the poor nun will invite Madame to come over and give her a reward. It's just because it's a place for everyone to practice, but it's not good to invite Lord An Shi over, and please don't be surprised. ”

This is the difference between lay monks and men, An Shicheng hurriedly understood, while watching Master Ming Yin leave, his heart was pounding, he felt that he had finally comprehended Qiu Ruyi's meaningful smile and words, his mind was full of thoughts, but his heart was happy and angry, indescribable.
