Chapter 12: A Blessing or a Curse
Separated? Ru Ji looked around, the golden cinnamon was fragrant, and the tourists were weaving, but all the people of the Pu family, regardless of the master and servant, did not see any except Cai Wan.
What's the rhythm?
According to the law that there must be treasures when you fall off a cliff in martial arts novels, are you going to meet someone?
However, as a sales soldier in a shopping mall for a long time, Ru Xi knows that this calm and predictable life is the best life. The price of this treasure may be to wield a knife from the palace, who knows if it is Zhang Wuji who dug up the Jiuyang True Scripture, or the tragic villain who is stuck in the cave?
After reading countless travel texts, Ruji's sense of crisis has never decreased. Once crossed, it was the Kowloon heir to the great crossing that everyone loved the heroine, and the era of the heroine's halo has long passed, and the indigenous war has crossed the woman, and there are still few things to force the female partner to turn over?
Instead of looking forward to what good people and good things can fall from the sky, it is more important to prevent fire and theft and be pitted!
Ru Ji thought about it, and retreated to the cleaner roadside with Cai Yun: "Ji Zhugui is going to take the exam next year, and they should still be in the Wende Sacrifice Hall." Mrs. They are not easy to say, maybe they will come out and scatter after the incense is finished. After all, the Pu family didn't have much pomp, and there were only a few accompanying people in total, and there were some who didn't see him for a while. The two of us can't be scattered any longer, just go around the side for now, and if you really can't find it, just go out to the carriage and wait. ”
Cai Wan responded, and helped Ruxi to go inside.
The pattern of Gyeongbokgsa Temple is roughly divided into the front, middle and back halls, the square in front is the widest, except for the side halls of various prayers on both sides, the large bluestone road square in the center is a lively stall and assembly. In the middle part are nine sacrificial halls connected by cloisters, and they are the main ones. The direction of prayer for blessings in each temple is somewhat different, for example, she was surprised to find that the Dasheng Dynasty did not respect Buddhism or Taoism, but more to worship the heavens, or pray to the emperor/God, which is somewhat similar to modern Christianity. The apse of Gyeongbokgsa Temple is very clean, with only a five-story white pagoda and two quiet halls. However, the flowers and trees are very abundant, and there are also paths leading to the back mountain, which is more suitable for viewing and sightseeing.
Ru Ji and Cai Wan walked around the outer courtyard for half a circle, and it seemed that they could see someone dressed like Chi sisters from a distance. But there are a few stalls over there, with people coming and going, and they are mainly female dependents. It was easy for Ruxi and Cai Wan to squeeze over, but they couldn't find the woman who looked like the Chi family sisters.
At this time, Ru Ji felt for the first time what was the inadequacy of this young and beautiful body that had crossed over.
Body! Body! Plain! Quality!
It's only been a long time, and my waist and legs are sore. Ru Ji helped Cai Wan all the way to find and search, and there seemed to be no front and middle hall, so he looked for the clean apse again, and complained in his heart all the way about the weak nature of this legendary delicate flower.
Just this body? In modern society, you can't even go down to a large one! So how do you shop for Christmas and Thanksgiving? Or are these so-called ladies in ancient times all of them have the physique of otaku girls, and they can only sit in the embroidery building and watch the white begonia flowers write poems and sad spring and autumn?
Cai Wan didn't think of this, and helped Ru Xi all the way to the pavilion on the west side of the apse to rest for a while. At the moment, it seems that there is no one from the Pu family, so you can only go down the mountain to find the carriage.
It's just that the road down the mountain is not long, but it is not short, and it is estimated that it is only within one or two kilometers, but with his current body, it is not realistic to go down now, so he will take a breath and talk about it.
It's past noon, and the weather in early autumn is actually a little hot. There are many fewer osmanthus trees in the apse, most of them are sycamores and pines and cypresses, and there is a special tranquility and coolness between the green shadows.
Although the corridor of the apse is much less crowded than before, it is not completely absent. If you sit here for a while, you can observe the passers-by, and you can also add a little more understanding of the general environment in which you have to struggle for the second half of your life. If there is anything you don't understand, Ru Ji will ask Caiyun. As a big girl, Cai Wan has many opportunities to go out, especially in the first life, because when she married into the Shi family, she brought a rich dowry, Cai Wan helped her take care of it, and she had more contacts with shops, and her knowledge was broader.
The two chatted for a few words, and Ru Xi suddenly frowned: "That person, are you familiar?" ”
Cai Wan looked over with Ruxi's eyes, and saw that under the towering ancient acacia tree, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was looking around and coming to the apse.
The young man was dressed in ordinary green cloth clothes, half-new, not old, and there was no ornamentation on his body, but the boots under his feet were fine official boots. Looking at the past carefully, the face is white and the facial features are handsome, even if he deliberately pretends to be an ordinary green cloth clothes, he can't hide the nobility and brilliance in his bones. What's more important is that the appearance is so familiar.
The boy seemed to be looking for someone, looking around all the way.
Ru Ji and Cai Wan each glanced sideways several times, and suddenly thought about it at the same time, and couldn't help but exclaim softly under each other's eyes: "Yan Rong!" "Sixth Master Yan!"
As soon as these words came out, Ru Ji immediately knew that it was not good, and she was about to turn around after she was busy picking the clouds.
However, it was too late, although the outstanding young man Yan Rongyan was neither good at hiding his whereabouts nor good at disguise, but his martial arts ear voice was not discounted. In addition, Cai Wan and Ru Xi spoke at the same time, although the two of them were not loud, but when they were stacked together, Yan Rong immediately heard it, and immediately stopped in shock.
Ru Ji is about to run away with Cai Wan, but with such a body, let alone sprinting, even jumping into the river has no speed.
Ru Xi and Cai Wan barely walked a few steps, and then they felt that the figure in front of them flashed, and Yan Rong actually chased after them, first stunned, but immediately remembered: "It's you?" ”
Ru Xi almost wanted to learn from Wei Xiaobao The moment he met the fake queen mother, he replied loudly: "It's not me!" ”
Yan Rong took a step back and arched his hand: "It's the cousin of the Pu family, how can you be here alone?" ”
Ru Ji had already quickly remembered in this moment that this was Yan Rong, the youngest son of Yan Heng, the third master of the Yan family, and Lin Chengyue, the third lady, who was ranked sixth in Bofu.
Seven years later, this is also Yan Liuye, who broke through the army with a silver spear and shocked Qibeiguan with iron and blood.
But now, it is still the sixth young master Yan who is entangled with the newly widowed daughter of the Yiyang Hou Wen family, and the anger of the middle two is still in his heart.
"Sixth cousin," Ru Ji saw that he was not as willful and rude as the rumors in his previous life, his heart calmed down a little, and he helped Cai Wan take a step back: "I came with my family to make incense." The sixth cousin is too, right? Then you won't be delayed. "After speaking, he is about to leave, Yan Rong at this time is really impossible to provoke!
In the previous life, Yan Rong and Wen Yingluo, the widowed concubine of the Wen family, had a farce that failed to elope and really shook the capital, even Ruxi, who usually doesn't go out much, heard various versions of the renovation in the Pu family's inner house.
But there is no news yet, which means that the matter has not yet spread. So what is Yan Rong going to do in this place dressed like this? If someone sees him and Yan Rong talking here, what if he also gets into trouble?
Ru Ji quickly calculated in her heart, whether it is to ask her stepmother Chi for the original dowry now, or to bargain for Caiwan's marriage and her future and marriage in the future, the most important reliance and bargaining chip is the Yan family, even if it is just a bluff. The art of war and negotiation are the same, and they are both fiction and reality.
But if you get involved with Yan Rong now, it won't be the same!
Not to mention anything else, who is Lin Chengyue? That is with the current Xiangmin Empress Ming from Jianghuai into Beijing, and with the current Shangshang Emperor Xiang and Empress Ming bloody battle on the Chenzhou battlefield!
Although those noblewomen of the Houmen clan would say behind their backs that the third lady of Yan, Lin Chengyue, was just the maid of Empress Ming, the soldiers in the Chenzhou army did not think so, and Empress Ming and several princes did not think so.
Now if he is unclear about something with Lin Chengyue's most precious little son, let alone saving Cai Wan from fire and water, Ru Xi estimates that he will be broken in a few minutes, and he is ready to be reborn again.
"Cousin Pu walks slowly." Although Yan Rong didn't intercept Ruxi and Cai Yun, he couldn't help but flash his eyes, since his dress was recognized, was Pu Ruxi's reaction too calm? Is this what it looks like to not know anything?
However, as soon as the two of them made a mistake, Yan Rong's face changed again, and it was too late to escape in any direction at this moment. Only the top of the large pavilion where Ruji and Cai Wan rested was high and deep.
Yan Rong didn't have time to think about it, his feet were a little up, and he and Cai Wan only felt a flower in front of them, and Yan Rong disappeared like magic.
"Girl." Cai Wan couldn't help but hold on tightly.
Ru Xi didn't need to look up, she also knew that Yan Rong was hiding on the beams of this pavilion, supporting the beams with her hands and feet, and she was about to support the ceiling like a gecko. From the bottom up, you should be able to see it as soon as you look up, but the eaves outside this pavilion are relatively low, and if you look at it from a distance or at eye level, you may not think that there is actually a person hiding there.
"Chen Hao, are you sure it's here?"
Ru Xi and Cai Wan were shocked, and they didn't know what Yan Rong was going to do, and another familiar voice came into their ears again.
Yan Xuan?
Yan Xuan is the eldest daughter of Yan Heng and Lin Chengyue, skilled in arches and horses, and has a fierce style, and is not second to none among the daughters of noble relatives and princesses who are good at martial arts in the capital, and can also count among the top three.
Since the voice came, the figure naturally came into view. Although Ru Xi never wanted to be involved in the disgraceful matter of the Yan family, she still instinctively looked in that direction.
Yan Xuan and Yan Rong were originally twins, Yan Xuan was only two hours older than Yan Rong, but the sisters and brothers have always been like eldest sisters and younger brothers.
At this moment, Yan Xuan was dressed in a jade green light hunting suit, with ancient jade tied hair, and a horse whip in her hand, looking radiant.
There was also a young man in his early twenties beside Yan Xuan, his complexion was obviously slightly dark due to the perennial rush, his body under the navy blue robe was sturdy and strong, his sword eyebrows were in the sideburns, his nose was trimmed and his lips were thin, and his appearance was more handsome and beautiful than Yan Rong.
Ru Ji can't hide from the resentment in her heart at this time, she is not Yan Rong, and it is impossible not to attract attention at this time.
Sure enough, Yan Xuan also saw Ru Xi, but her face was much more complicated than Yan Rong: "Cousin of the Pu family? ”
