Chapter 35: The Chi Clan Fights Back Again
Ru Ji took the oil paper wrapped in the material and looked at it carefully, and the font seal on it was a shop not far from Baifu Lane, auspicious cloth village.
This should be the shop where Chen Run is now an apprentice, right?
As for the hairpin, Ru Xi touched the hairpin that was a little sharp and hard, did he want to give it to himself for self-defense?
"Girl, your face is red again, do you want to apply it again?" Cai Wan saw that Ruji was holding the hairpin and came forward to persuade.
Ru Xi felt that her face was slightly hot, but it was not that the place where she was beaten hurt. Wen Yan pursed his lips and smiled, and handed the oiled paper with the name of the shop pΓΉ written on it to Cai Yun: "This material is good, you can buy a few more pieces of material another day." β
Cai Wan took it casually, and when she heard Ruji's voice, she seemed to have a lively and teasing smile, and couldn't help but look carefully at the name of the shop twice, and her heart jumped suddenly: "Girl, what is this?" β
Chaolu saw that her master and servant had private things to say, so she gently blessed Ruji: "The cousin girl will rest first, and the slave will go to deliver a message to the uncle's house." β
Ruxi nodded: "It's troublesome Sister Chaolu." β
A few days ago, Yan Xiao personally came forward to put down such heavy words, and now Pu Yu's words and deeds reacted, it was clear that he was ignoring Yan Xiao and taking care of outsiders.
In terms of rituals, Pu Yu does have this power, but the essential purpose of rituals is to educate the people, to make the lower ones respectful and obedient, but also to the higher ones to be virtuous.
The so-called father's kindness and son's filial piety are first father's kindness, and then there is son's filial piety.
Now that Pu Yu's upper beam is not correct, don't blame Ru Xi's lower beam for setting fire to counterattack.
After listening to a few words of instigation from his daughter-in-law, he wanted to slap Bofu's face and tremble his majesty?
Even Chaolu's gaze can be translated into the most classic universal reply: hehe.
When Chao Lu went out, he also thoughtfully closed the door, but Cai Wan was silent for a moment and turned red: "Girl, I don't want to go." β
"Why?" Ru Xi was surprised, "You don't want to meet Chen Run?" β
Cai Wan shook his head, the piece of oiled paper in his hand was already crumpled: "I don't know." Girl, I'm in a mess. β
Is this homesickness? Or is the shadow of the past life too heavy?
Ru Ji held Cai Wan's hand: "Cai Yun, the previous things are in the past, and they won't happen again." Haven't you been thinking about Chen Run all the time? It's good to look at his current situation first. β
Cai Wan bit her lower lip and did not speak.
Since the time since the crossing, Ruji has a deep understanding of Caiyun's personality and state of mind. In essence, Cai Wan still has a lot of powerlessness and fear in life. Between the three lives, she has been tormented in pain and despair for decades, where can such a deep shadow be completely changed in one month?
What's more, now that Ruji is in the Pu family, it can't be regarded as a complete solution to the dilemma.
In the final analysis, Pu Yu and Chi still have the most important trump card that they have not played, that is, Ruji's marriage.
Even if Yan Wei's dowry is all returned to Ruji, the marriage is decided by the parents. If Pu Yu and the Chi clan forcibly betrothed Ru Xi Xu to a family with a bright surface and dirty inside, such as the Shi family, the Yan Mansion really had no reason to intervene, and there was no even motive to ask.
At this point, everyone is tacit.
Ruji naturally knew it very well, but at this moment, the copper hairpin in her hand made her even more motivated: "It's okay if you don't want to go, don't worry, let's come to a long time." Chaolu sent the news out, thinking that soon there would be a move in the Bofu, and the affairs of the family should be sorted out first, and then talk about other things. β
Thinking of Bofu, Cai Wan's heart settled down a little more, and nodded: "Okay." Girl, I'll put this material away first. β
"This material," Ru Xi smiled, "make me a skirt to wear next time I go out." β
The official lady wears such a Songjiang cotton cloth?
Cai Wan was a little surprised, but she was always obedient, so she answered.
A few steps out of the house with the material, I met a double cicada.
"Caiyun, I will give you good luck." The double cicada skin smiled without smiling, and his eyes were full of mockery, "I heard that you are going out to get married in a few days, sister, come and put on makeup for you." β
"Marry?" This sentence was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Cai Wan's body shook slightly. Previously, when she desperately went to find Yan Rong for Ruxi to ask for help, she heard news that Mrs. Chi was going to send her away and promise her to the rogue nephew of her uncle's family who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled. But later, after the eldest girl recovered from her illness, there were many changes, and there was no news about that matter, and Cai Wan gradually relaxed.
However, in the words of the double cicadas, this matter was decided?
The double cicada took another half step forward, and stuffed a rough and inferior red cloth into Cai Wan's hand: "Yes, I heard that it is a person surnamed Li, who is in charge of affairs under the second master of the Shi family, although he is a little romantic, he is very generous at hand." Caiyun is so blessed, maybe I can continue to serve your girl in the future. β
Surname Lee? The second master of the Shi family?
Isn't that Li Ya, the little guy next to Shi Zhonglang?!
For a while, he couldn't care about how the Chi family hooked up with the Shangshi family, Cai Yun's monstrous resentment towards Shi Zhonglang surged into his heart, and his eyes turned red almost instantly, and he glared at the double cicadas: "Phew! Keep this blessing for yourself, have that kung fu to talk nonsense, go back and look in the mirror to calculate your future, you may marry some bastard who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles in the future! He threw the torn red cloth under the feet of the cicadas, turned around and left.
"Pick you!" Shuangcicada is the niece of Qiu's mother who accompanies the Chi family, and she has always been the number one person among the maids of the Pu family, and the other big maids in the main house, Shuangying and Shuangdie, also let her score two points. In the past, Ru Xi was cowardly for many years, and the double cicada couldn't even look down on the big girl who had the title of the eldest child, let alone Cai Wan a second-class maid with no foundation. Although this trip to Yueluju was ordered by his wife to come and beat the eldest girl, and he was also told not to have a conflict, but when Cai Wan was asked to spit on his face like this, how could the cicada endure it?
"Stop! Picking! The cicadas saw that Cai Wan was walking very fast, and they didn't care that the direction was towards Ruxi's main house, so they chased after it directly.
Ru Ji had already heard the noise outside, so she got up and came over to open the door herself, and saw that the double cicada had caught up with Cai Wan, and reached out to pull her.
"Twin cicadas!"
Ru Xi scolded, and both the cicadas and Cai Wan were instinctively shocked, and stopped at the same time.
"What for?" Ru Xi came out of the room and walked directly to the double cicadas, "Who allowed you to come to my yard to sprinkle?" β
The eldest girl is not what it used to be, and the double cicadas are not all unscrupulous, so she suppressed her feelings, and squeezed out some smiles: "What the eldest girl said is wronged, and the slave and maid obviously came to say hello to Cai Wan." Mrs. has set a good family affair for Cai Wan! β
