Chapter 9 Things are people
Pu Yu coughed lightly, covering up a little unnaturalness: "Ruji, how are you recuperating?" ”
Ru Ji saw that Ruyan and Rushu were standing next to Pu Yu and Chi, and she didn't have any intention of saluting her big sister, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook: "I'm much better, but I don't see my two sisters come to see me say hello, so I'm a little lonely." ”
Chi was a little stunned, but for a while he didn't expect Ru Ji to be a sarcastic meaning, but because of her original cowardice and submissiveness, she only thought it was literal flattery, and said casually: "The eldest girl still loves to be coquettish in this illness, Ruyan Rushu, go and greet your big sister." ”
Ruyan snorted lightly, Rushu was smiling and delicate, and both of them called their sisters.
Rushu sat on the chair next to her, intentionally or unintentionally touched her sideburns, and Rushu's gaze was brought over: "Hey, I haven't seen my sister wear this hair comb, show me if it's done?" ”
Cai Wan stood behind Ru Xi, and lowered her head at this moment, so as not to let people see the disgust in her eyes. Rushu's appearance is more delicate, because she is younger, she also loves to be coquettish. But in her previous life, she didn't know how many brazen words she said in such a tone.
For example: Brother-in-law, can't you help me?
Or: Sister, your mother is also my mother, since they are all sisters, why can't I share her dowry?
At this moment, the green jade comb worn on the head of Ru Ji is only two inches long, the jade quality is quite warm, and there is a big eastern pearl embedded in the comb handle, such beads are usually some flaws, and they can't be made into a pearl hairpin, so they will be cut open and inlaid, but the half bead embedded in this is smooth and round, and the flow is bright. The beads are carved with water ripples, and they only feel simple and generous from a distance, and they know that they are ingenious and chic when they look closely.
This is a gift from Yan Li, from the most famous jewelry shop in Beijing, Linglong Pavilion, worth 100 gold. In his previous life, for this comb, he was wronged.
Cai Wan still remembers that at that time, the third lady Rushu enjoyed playing for a while, and then smiled in her usual coquettish tone: "My sister has a lot of good things, and I won't tell my sister if I get it!" Eat alone, don't talk to the big sister! ”
Such a sweet and glutinous intimate tone, as if she is a sister who is used to grinding her ears and temples, but she is so embarrassed that she doesn't know how to answer.
Pu Yu was originally full of smiles, and when she saw Ru Xi holding the jade comb in a dilemma, her face sank again: "You are a big sister, don't you know how to do it at this time?" ”
Chi took over: "Rushu, don't mess around, this is your eldest sister's private room." Do you still dare to worry about the things from Bofu? How does this make people look like this? ”
Between the three words, if Rushu didn't give this jade comb to Rushu, it would be Bofu who looked down on people. At that time, Rushu thought that this was a part of her uncle Yan's heart, and did not give it to Rushu. However, every time they met after that, this jade comb would be praised and praised by Rushu, even if Rushu was not wearing it, it would be mentioned. In the end, Pu Yu spoke, and the jade comb was "borrowed" by Rushu.
It wasn't until Ru Xi was let down by Shi Renlang that Ru Ji discovered that among the many pink confidants under Shi Renlang's loyal and filial hypocrite's skin, Ru Shu, who was already married, was also on the list.
Rushu, who was discovered by Ru Ji, only smiled sweetly: "Since my sister has already disgusted my brother-in-law, what are you doing with this idleness?" By the way, I forgot to return the comb to my sister back then, in fact, you can't use it, and you can't even keep a man, so it's better to cut the troubled silk and be a sister-in-law! ”
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the comb fell three times on the gravel road, and the jade beads were broken.
"Big sister, this comb is so beautiful!" Rushu's sweet voice pulled Cai Wan's thoughts back, and the second half of the sentence was the same as in the previous life, "There are so many good things for my sister, and I won't tell my sister if I get ......it."
"Rushu," Rushu said with a smile, "Where do you have a lot of good things for my sister, and the topaz silk on your waist that forms a seal swallow character is also very special." ”
Cai Wan's heart was shocked, and she followed Rushu's words and looked at Rushu together. Akane peach blossom upper skirt, goose yellow six moon skirts, because of the young age, so combed a double bun, with gold silk wearing fine pink crystal beads wrapped around the bun, waist also hung a pink silk silk, among which there is a topaz Fu word buckle, the lower head of the ruyi knot is exquisite and complicated, if the literacy is not experienced in the past and present life, already know that it is from the original wife Yan Wei's dowry, is categorically unrecognizable "Yan" of this seal character.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room condensed slightly. Pu Yu, Chi Shi and Ruyan first instinctively glanced at the topaz and silk silk on Rushu's waist, and then looked at Ru Xi, who was smiling and moaning and didn't know.
Ru Xi raised her beautiful face and looked at Pu Yu: "Although the silk thread of this silk thread may not be the top grade, the swallow character typed is really exquisite. The old man is a two-list jinshi, and Hanlin, who is famous all over the world, also thinks this word is good, right? ”
As Cai Wan knows, although Ruji's biological mother Yan Wei is the concubine of Bofu, because she married this Pu family who has been famous for many years, Huanning Bofu still generously gave a dowry worth almost 10,000 taels.
Pu Yu has been in the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy for many years, and now Emperor Shangxiang is good at fighting and martial, since he ascended the throne, he only reuses practical ministers, rectifies agricultural armaments, and transports commerce and trade, never reciting poems and compiling books, and does not summon Hanlin scholars to accompany him in the imperial study. Therefore, Pu Yu has been an official for many years, but he has no income outside of money.
However, the so-called "gentleman's behavior is Ming Peiyu", burning incense and touching the qin, ancient books and paintings, and paying attention to elegance is not cheap. Where will the money that holds up this scholarly family come from?
This is also the reason why Ru Ji looks down on Pu Yu the most and absolutely does not want to call him "father" anymore. If you want to spend the dowry of the original match, and treat the daughter of the original partner harshly, have you read all the benevolence, righteousness and morality in the sage book to the belly of a dog?
In the previous life, Ru Ji saw this matter with the Yanzi palace silk on the body of Lin Chengyue, the third lady of the Yan family, and the self-pity and despair in her heart, and the anger and disappointment in her father, actually made the original owner have the idea of suicide when he was a teenager. Ru Xi recalled that the original owner of that period, in addition to lamenting his misfortune and being angry with him, he was also determined to take this palace matter and break the dirty things in the so-called scholarly heirloom of the Pu family.
Pu Yu's face was also a little stiff, and he responded casually: "Hmm." ”
Chi's heart was very surprised, and his mind spun quickly. Yanzi? That's to talk about the original dowry. When did this soft persimmon get hard? How did she know about the dowry? What's more, where did she get the courage and brains to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger like this?
"Big girl, I heard that there will be a flower party in Bofu tomorrow, didn't you get the post?" The Chi family already had an idea in his mind, "I thought you were very good with the sisters of the foreign family now." “
Ru Ji turned her face to look at Chi, her rich and beautiful face was full of smiles, but there was a slight flicker in her eyes, and she would unconsciously turn her gaze to the right slightly.
"How can the Yan family have a flower party?" In the confrontation of group sales, I have seen a lot of various excuses and temptations from customers, some of them are for bargaining, some are for changing the contract, and the accumulated experience in the work is more practical than any theoretical knowledge. At this moment, Ru Ji knew that the Chi family was cheating.
First of all, whether the Yan family has a flower party or not is not something that the Chi family's usual social circle can know at all. But as a man, Pu Luo didn't know it.
When Chi said this, the first thing was to test whether he really got the attention and support of the Yan family, and he also wanted to see his reaction. On the other hand, it also hints to Pu Luo that the Yan family doesn't care so much about Ruji, so naturally they won't ask about Yan Wei's dowry back then, so they don't have to be weak-hearted.
If it was the original Ruji, who was supple and weak, and easy to be gullible, even if he received some care from the Yan family, he might be deceived by the Chi family, he might think that he was looked down upon by others, and he would not have the confidence to confront his stepmother, and he would not have the courage to ask for help from those uncles who were not familiar with him.
It's a pity that things are wrong, and the eldest girl of the Pu family sitting here now is no longer the soft bun who is rubbed and scared by others.
Trick me? Let's practice for another 10 years!
The corners of her lips hooked: "Which flower party did Mrs. say?" Recently, my grandmother has not been feeling well, and there is no big feast in the Bofu. The cousins of the Wen family in the second room seem to be leaving Beijing to return to Jizhou, and the fourth cousin may have to have some tea with their uncles and cousins and talk something considerate. Where can I go for such a thing? The second cousin was also practicing martial arts over there and went to the Chaoyuan hunting ground. However, Sister Chang promised me a box of snacks, saying that she would come to pick me up if there was a tea party, but it was in the Liguo Mansion, not the Bofu. Is my wife mistaken? Who told his wife that tomorrow there will be flowers in the Yan family? “
The Chi family never expected to summon such a number of family treasures as Ru Xi, how did he know that these were all half-truths and half-truths listed by Ru Xi in combination with his understanding of the Yan family in his previous life. She was not familiar with the Yan family, so she was stunned and didn't know if it was true or not, but what Ru Ji said was really calm and calm, and Chi had no choice but to smile and say, "Cough, I heard it." The second wife of the Shi family just mentioned it casually. ”
The Shi family? Sure enough, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups.
Ru Xi smiled slightly, and the subsequent words made Chi's face even more difficult to look at: "Speaking of Bofu, I still have something to ask my wife to show." A few days ago, I asked Cuiliu to take a centipede and rolled down in fright, and almost lost my life, but it was the imperial doctor that Bofu invited me. Although it is said that it is my uncle who is related by blood, but the third uncle is doing well now, and the third uncle has a face in front of the nobles in the palace, should our family back up and thank you with generous gifts? More back and forth, maybe it's good for the master's career. ”
