Chapter 228: Demonic Nature
Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Ruan had just had breakfast, and before he arrived at the study, someone in the concierge came to report, and he still carried a burden-like thing in his hand, only saying that it was handed over to the master of Jinying's mansion, and asked who it was, but the concierge couldn't answer why, only said that it seemed to be a carriage in the Mo family's mansion. This Mo family is naturally the mansion of Mo Cong in the capital, and the master of Jinying's mansion is Xiao Shao, but now Jiang Ruan can also sit on the master, and the concierge did not hesitate immediately, and handed it over to Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan returned to the study and threw the burden on the desk, but Tianzhu said: "Why don't you open it?" If there are other important matters, it is not good to delay. ”
In Tianzhu's opinion, if Mo Cong came to deliver something, it would probably be related to business, Jiang Ruan is not an ignorant house woman, there are some things she can deal with very well, now it is an eventful time, the time is very precious, Xiao Shao will not be able to come back until late at night, so it is better for Jiang Ruan to take it apart and see, what it is.
Forsythia was also busy: "Yes, young lady, it's all a matter of the house after all." Forsythia didn't think as far-reaching as Tianzhu, she just thought that Jiang Ruan was a little unfamiliar with Xiao Shao now, and she couldn't always be so emotionally indifferent, this matter may not be an opportunity, Jiang Ruan thought about it, and took the burden in front of her and slowly unwrapped it.
There was nothing in the baggage, only a coat, which was a jet-black Su embroidered brocade robe, with a dark golden unicorn embroidered on the corner of the robe, which was Xiao Shao's robe, and there was a letter next to the robe.
Mo Cong's robe sent back to Xiao Shao for no reason was a strange thing, not to mention that there was a letter, Jiang Ruan did not hesitate, and opened the letter on the side, and the letter was unfolded, with only two simple words on it: Thank you. It is the Juanxiu Xiaokai commonly used by women, but the handwriting is neat and contains charm, but it is such a shallow sweep, and I already think it is a good word. It's just a word of thanks, and it's already so unusual. And the content itself is also very thought-provoking, Dewdrop's face changed greatly at a glance, and she couldn't think about it too much, maybe this thing was put in the past, she was also a little strange, but now when she looks at these things, a thought involuntarily appears in her mind. With Jinji's previous experience, how could she not be nervous, and her face changed.
Tianzhu's eyes also moved, he stopped talking, and Forsythia opened his mouth, obviously not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him. Before the three of them could speak, they saw Jiang Ruan pick up the robe and slowly put it under the tip of his nose. Forsythia and Dew Drop both stared at her nervously, although Tianzhu was not as nervous as Forsythia and Dew Drop, but he also refused to miss Jiang Ruan's expression without blinking. After a while, Jiang Ruan put down Xiao Shao's robe, her expression had not changed from beginning to end, and she threw the robe back into the bag, and then said to Dewdrop: "What about the gift of the General's Mansion prepared a few days ago?" ”
A few days ago, the third grandmother of the Zhao family was found to be happy again, and now that Zhao Feizhou is so old, the third grandmother can still be pregnant, which is a thing that surprises the whole government of the General's Mansion. When the good news came, Jiang Ruan also ordered someone to prepare a salute and prepare to go in person, but he had almost forgotten these things recently.
Dew Drop was surprised: "It's already prepared, it's exactly according to the gift list given by Steward Lin, does the girl want to take a look now?" ”
"You don't have to look at it," Jiang Ruan stood up: "Let's go to the General's Mansion today." ”
"Huh?" Forsythia chuckled in her heart, obviously faintly thinking of the direction that Dew Drop thought, although she was a little hesitant, but ...... Jiang Ruan didn't wait for them to speak, so he took the lead and went out, and several people looked at each other. In the end, Tianzhu stepped forward, stood still in front of the desk, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the robe, and shook it under his nose in the same way as Jiang Ruan.
"How?" Forsythia asked anxiously.
Tianzhu's brows furrowed tightly, but he didn't seem to understand very much, and asked with a slight doubt: "Orchid?" ”
……
Jiang Ruan went out like this, Steward Lin dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, probably wanted to step forward to dissuade, but after seeing Jiang Ruan's cold expression, he didn't dare to step forward, and after the most rear, he could only shrink behind the pillar of the vermilion gate of the palace and stunk his fingers to clasp the lacquer on his head, Jin Si stood aside with his chest crossed, watching Steward Lin's movements, and finally couldn't help but say: "Hey, Lao Lin, if this pillar is broken, is it the silver that is deducted from your own salary for repair?" ”
Steward Lin's movements stopped abruptly, but he immediately put on a straight face and said: "What do you know, the old man is worried, you little girl doesn't understand, how can you share your worries with the old man, and you don't know what to do all day long, so you know that Lu Dao is shouting." Speaking of the worst, he came to teach Jinsi a lesson, Jinsi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You have to be so nervous?" The young lady is just going to the General's Mansion, that is, going back to her mother's house, how do you do it like something big happened? I don't know what happened to the young lady. ”
"That's why you don't have the strength to see." Steward Lin put his hands behind his back, looked at her and said, "Do you know why the young lady of Lu Dao went back to the General's Mansion?" ”
"Zhilu said, the third grandmother of the Zhao family is pregnant, and the young lady went over to congratulate her, this is a happy event." Jin Sidao.
"If it's really congratulations, why should the young lady wait until you, you have already brought the young master back with you. Today, I went back to my parents' house after a quarrel, and I heard Forsythia last night, and I was really anxious to die. Steward Lin was a little annoyed as he spoke: "It's so decent, but I made my daughter-in-law angry and went to my mother's house, the young master really didn't learn my cleverness at all, this woman is all about coaxing, I don't think he wants to coax." ”
Hearing this, Jin Si thought about it seriously, looked at Steward Lin and said: "Speaking of which, I also think that there are too many things that have happened recently, first Jin Er and Dewdrop, and then the young lady and the master, which is a bit of a coincidence, but I don't know how Lu Dao came out." Isn't feng shui bad? ”
"I have to let people go to the temple to put a pillar of marriage incense, and there is no room for tossing in this house." Steward Lin also agreed.
……
But said that here, Jiang Ruan took Tianzhu to the general's mansion, and she came suddenly, and she didn't make a statement, and she didn't even let the little girl go to the eldest brother to greet her in advance, but the people of the Zhao family were still very happy to see her coming, especially the grandmothers of the Zhao family, who all went out to greet her happily.
Jiang Ruan asked people to carry the gift to the third grandmother out of the house, and naturally there will be no shortage of other people when they come to the door, everyone in the third room is polite, and this ceremony is also very thoughtful, so that people can't find any mistakes, and they are very generous. This is Steward Lin's handwriting, and Steward Lin has always been a good hand at writing gifts.
When the eldest grandmother introduced Jiang Ruan into the mansion, she had to meet the lord Zhao Guang in the mansion first, but Zhao Guang was not in the main hall, so the eldest grandmother smiled and said: "Dad is playing chess in the backyard, Ah Ruan will come with me." When he was really led to the backyard, Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned, just because it was Jiang Xinzhi who played chess with Zhao Guang. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, Jiang Ruan has been busy helping Xuanpei gain a firm foothold since the end of the year, Jiang Xinzhi's daily affairs in the barracks are also quite busy, and I don't know if it's because of Zhao Jin, he didn't put Jiang Ruan under his nose every day like before to feel at ease, it was because the brother and sister met this time suddenly.
When Jiang Xinyi saw Jiang Ruan, he immediately didn't care about the chess game he hadn't finished playing, so he immediately stood up and strode towards Jiang Ruan, and said happily: "Ah Ruan, why did you come suddenly, and you didn't look for someone to say it in advance." ”
The angry Zhao Guang jumped behind his back: "Stinky boy, don't come back soon, where to run before this game of chess is finished!" ”
"Got grandfather," but another voice interjected, "Your stinky chess basket, only cousin has the patience to play chess with you, and what happens after the game, it will always be a defeat." ”
Zhao Guang couldn't tolerate others saying that he didn't play chess well, so he immediately scolded Zhao Feizhou with a cold eyebrow, but Zhao Feizhou made a grimace and ran away. Zhao Feizhou's temperament has inherited ten out of ten with Zhao Yuanfeng's temperament, in short, he is a fiery fool. Zhao Guang was not easy to chase, and when he saw Jiang Ruan, he coughed, and he still couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes: "Ruan girl, you're back." ”
Jiang Ruan nodded and stepped forward to greet him, and the satisfied look on Zhao Guang's face became even heavier. In all fairness, although Jiang Ruan does not have much time to come to the General's Mansion on weekdays, it is more beneficial to the General's Mansion in this way, and maintaining it at an appropriate level will not bring any trouble to the General's Mansion. And although she herself looks at the attitude of polite and alienated on weekdays, but the gift list for the New Year's holidays is very thoughtful, and she says that sometimes you can see a person's mind by looking at the gift list, that is, from these gift lists that can't find mistakes, it really makes people angry, and she will only feel that this girl is compromised, and she does this in order to protect them, which makes people feel more close to Jiang Ruan and distressed. Of course, the people in the General's Mansion naturally don't know that every time Lu Dao gives a gift list, it is prepared by Steward Lin, in their opinion, Jiang Ruan is very intelligent, it is not strange that this gift list comes from her hand, but it is a little unlikely that a housekeeper can draw up such a gift list. It is not easy to know that the gift list is not an easy task, how many ladies start to learn the housekeeper when they start from the gift list, and if they are prepared, maybe they will be able to have a good relationship, and if they are not good, they may miss an important opportunity to climb up.
After Zhao Guang and Jiang Ruan had spoken, Li came over again, pulled her into the hall and kept asking about her recent situation. The Li family really loves Jiang Ruan, and doubled the regret on Zhao Mei back then. Zhao Yulong and Zhao Yi also came back, Zhao San's grandmother was still a little surprised, she originally thought that Jiang Ruan would not come over, but today she suddenly came, and the Zhao family all gathered together, Li was happy in her heart, so she asked people to go to the kitchen to cook more good dishes, but Zhao Yuanping asked: "Ruan girl, why didn't Xiao Wang Ye accompany you today?" ”
Everyone looked at Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan smiled and said: "He is busy with affairs, and I came here rashly today, and I have to call him to come over to see my grandfather and grandmother another day." ”
Xiao Shao is indeed very busy, the Zhao family is all in the court, and he also knows that he has been busy in the capital all year round and is not in the capital, so Zhao Yuanping did not ask any more. When it was time to eat, the family was staggered and lively, Jiang Ruan sat among them, but a little trance, these days the palace of King Jinying was a mess of black smoke and miasma, whether it was Jinyiwei, the maid next to her, or herself? The liveliness and harmony in front of people are in stark contrast to the cold and alienation behind people, she never felt it before, but now she feels the difference more and more, or I don't know when Lu Dao is, her heart has also begun to be warmed, at least for those close to her.
During the meal, Li asked tentatively: "Ah Ruan, I see that it is getting late today, so I won't go back tonight." She said this quite cautiously, staring at Jiang Ruan's face without blinking, and there was an expectation in her eyes that could not be concealed, Jiang Ruan suddenly smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up, clean up the room in Fang Garden, I just let people sweep it a few days ago, and it has accumulated dust in the past few days." "Fang Garden is the original courtyard where Zhao Mei lived when he was a girl in the house, after Zhao Mei left, the yard has not been abandoned, so more than ten years like waiting for a person who can never come back, every other day to let people clean up the house, it seems that only relatives can do it.
"Why should my mother be in a hurry," the second grandmother said with a smile: "How can there be people who clean up the house during dinner, don't worry, after eating later, the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law will continue to talk with the mother, I will let people clean the house over there, I still have a lot of interesting scripts here, but I don't know if Lu Dao A Ruan likes it or not." "She is a cheerful person, and she is full of smiles when she speaks, which always makes people feel refreshed in their hearts. Jiang Ruan smiled and said: "Xiao Shao has been very busy these days, almost every day is no longer in the house, I also plan to stay here for a few more days, I just hope that my sisters-in-law will not dislike me and bother me." ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome," the third grandmother said in surprise when she heard this: "That's good, I'm trapped in the house every day, and no one has anyone to talk to. ”
When the second grandmother heard this, she feigned anger and said, "What are you talking about, is it possible that I am not a human being every day?" I've been with you for nothing. ”
The third grandmother was busy laughing and asking for mercy, and for a while the room was full of laughter, so it was not lively. In the evening, after accompanying a few sisters-in-law to talk well, it was already late at night, Jiang Ruan returned to Fang Garden, and was about to freshen up and rest, but heard Tianzhu suddenly shout vigilantly: "Who?" ”
Jiang Ruan turned around, and saw a person walking out of the dark shadow of the lights, it was Jiang Xinzhi, he glanced at Tianzhu, and said, "You go down first." ”
Tianzhu was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that Jiang Ruan and this brother had a close relationship, so he also retreated without saying a word. Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, Jiang Ruan asked with a smile: "Big brother doesn't sleep so late, he doesn't want to talk to me, right?" ”
"Ah Ruan," Jiang Xinzhi's expression became serious: "He bullied you?" ”
Jiang Ruan was stunned before he came back to his senses, and the "he" in Jiang Xinzhi's mouth naturally referred to Xiao Shao. She smiled: "Big brother, how dare he bully me?" I've always been the only one who bullies others, and you're too worried......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Xinzhi: "Ah Ruan, you and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and only you and I are the closest in this world." You have been clinging to me since I was a child, and although we have been separated for many years, I don't know you. You have behaved strangely in this house today. When you were a child, you were angry with me, you didn't cry or make trouble, you always walked away silently, and you used to use silence to express your dissatisfaction and avoid the conflict you faced. Ah Ruan, what's wrong with you and Xiao Shao? ”
Jiang Xinzhi really understands her, even if many of her thoughts have changed in this life, the long-term relationship and the induction between the brothers and sisters of the same mother still make Jiang Xinyi see that she is inappropriate, but Jiang Ruan is a little helpless: "Big brother, I do have a little problem with him, but if you can't even deal with this problem, then you underestimate me too much, and you can't let the eldest brother meddle in the affairs between husband and wife." He didn't bully me, but I saw that he was a little upset and bullied him. Seeing Jiang Xinyi's spirit of not giving up until the goal was reached, Jiang Ruan told the ins and outs of the matter, but only concealed the part of the quarrel with Xiao Shao, and said: "Jinyiwei has always been his person, he loves the house and Wu, and in the same way, I don't like him Jinyiwei, so naturally I don't like him, so I want to come out and relax, and by the way, let myself calm down and think about the reason for the matter." ”
"You think ......." Jiang Xinzhi looked at her in disbelief, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "This matter is indeed a little strange, I will pay attention to it, in this case, you will stay here for a few more days, then since Xiao Shao does not stand up for you, you deserve to be angry." He said angrily, "It's time for me to teach him a lesson." ”
Jiang Ruan smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Big brother, I have something to tell you." ”
Jiang Xinzhi smiled: "What's the matter?" He suddenly looked at Jiang Ruan in surprise: "Could it be that I want more than one nephew?" ”
"What to say," Jiang Ruan couldn't cry and laughed: "I want to tell you, this time in the palace, between the thirteen princes and the eighth prince, even if they can barely maintain neutrality now, but when they go to the back, it is absolutely impossible, always show a team, big brother, I am on the side of the thirteen princes." ”
"Oh," Jiang Xinzhi was a little disappointed, Jiang Ruan said such a big thing, but he also said: "If you don't tell me about it, I will also choose the thirteen princes when it comes to the end." ”
"Why?" Jiang Ruan was puzzled, Jiang Xinzhi has always been a gentle and upright person, even if he became resolute on the battlefield, it did not wear out the justice in his bones, such a person wants to support a person, and it is not easy to step into the dispute in the court.
"Xuanli once did something unfavorable to you, how could you choose him?" Jiang Xinzhi snorted: "Although that Xuan Pei doesn't seem to be an easy person to deal with, at least he has helped you out of the siege." ”
"Your reason is simple," Jiang Ruan couldn't help but smile again, after saying a few words to Jiang Xinzhi, his heart was a lot more relaxed, and after Jiang Xinzhi left, he went back to the house to rest and have a good night's sleep.
In the next few days, Jiang Ruan was in the General's Mansion, and the people in the General's Mansion also saw Jiang Ruan live in it for the first time, and they couldn't wait to take out every good thing to her to make her happy, and everyone up and down here was full of kindness to her, this kindness was not the kindness of strangers on the street, but the kindness from the bottom of their hearts and from their families. Jiang Ruan's life was a little happier than in Jinying's palace, and he only asked the general's mansion to send someone to Jinying's palace to tell him the news that Jiang Ruan was going to stay here for a few more days.
In King Jinying's mansion, Xiao Shao was sitting in the study, and a small servant came over and said, "Master, there is another letter from the General's Mansion, saying that the young lady will stay there for a few days." "The little guy is also wiping a sweat, these days Steward Lin can toss these little guys who pass the word miserably, Jiang Ruan has not come back since that day to see the third grandmother of the Zhao family. If it can be said that it is too late to walk on the first day, it can be said that it is inconvenient to walk in the second day, and on the second day, it can be said that it is my family gathering together to talk, but such a series of things is a little unbearable, and the people in the general's mansion are open-minded by nature and have rough brains, and they can't see the doorway. The whole Jinying Palace's mansion knew the reason, and Jiang Ruan just didn't write a few words to tell them clearly: This princess is angry and goes back to her parents' house!
This Jiang Ruan has not come back for a long time, and every time the palace sends a little maid to urge, it is nothing more than a piece of news: the princess doesn't want to leave yet, so she wants to stay for a few more days. It's actually not good for a married daughter to stay in her mother's house for too long, but the status of the General's Mansion and Jiang Ruan's identity are there, so no one dares to say anything. It's just that Steward Lin is scratching his ears and cheeks in his heart, so he can't wait to tie Xiao Shao up and plead the generals' mansion immediately, so as to coax the heroine of the palace back.
Steward Lin said tentatively: "Master, when will I go to the General's Mansion to take a look, it has been more than ten days since I raised my fingers, and it is not good to go on like this." He swallowed the words "branching out" behind him.
Xiao Shao was silent, he was used to looking expressionless, but Steward Lin didn't know what he meant at the moment. A few days ago, Qi Feng also came to Jiang Ruan once, Qi Fengshang didn't know that Jiang Ruan returned to the General's Mansion, and only brought a large box of novelty gadgets over, saying that it was specially left for Jiang Ruan by a friend. Xiao Shao's face at that time was as black as the bottom of the pot, and his attitude towards Qi Feng was also surprisingly cold and hard, Steward Lin felt a little weak when he looked at it, and he didn't know what Qi Feng himself felt. However, Qi Feng left quickly, and the look between the two was very unpleasant.
Xiao Shao has always gotten along well with several senior brothers, and this is the first time he has blackened his face with Qi Feng. Steward Lin muttered in his heart that Xiao Shao's appearance clearly cared about Jiang Ruan, but why couldn't he pull off this face.
Just thinking about it, I saw Jin Yi hand over a post, the posts here are generally under the management of Steward Lin, Jin Yi took the post a little strange, Steward Lin was shocked, thinking that Jin Yi wanted to rob his own work? He quickly peeked at it, his eyesight was amazing, and he could see it clearly at a glance, the post was from Mo Mansion, and there were about some other people mentioned casually, and there was a name that made Steward Lin feel a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it, and when he was still struggling, he heard Xiao Shao take a look at it and said, "Prepare the horse." ”
Is this what you're going? Jin Yi also quickly brought the cloak, Xiao Shao left in a hurry, almost did not stop, Steward Lin stayed in place alone, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Hey? Yao family! Isn't that the bandit who wants to destroy the young master? ”
……。
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the night is like ink, Forsythia went outside to prepare hot water for Jiang Ruan to take a bath, Tianzhu stayed outside, Jiang Ruan stood in the courtyard, the wind in early spring was still a little steep, but it was not as painful as in the past. The air is fresh at night, and the walls in the yard are full of moonflowers, and the flowers are tiny and small, exuding a little fragrance, which is very charming at night.
Dew was walking under the moon to pick a few petals, but something on the opposite side of the wall "plopped", which scared her a lot, and she was about to cry out for birth, when she saw a black big cat running quickly from there.
"It turned out to be a cat," Dew Drop patted her chest, and when she turned her head, she heard Jiang Ruan say, "You go in first, I'll sit for a while." ”
Dew Drop took the basket back to the house first, Jiang Ruan turned around, and the moment Dew Drop entered the house, there was already a slender figure under the moon blossom vine behind him. The figure stood under the moon flower, and his posture was erect, as if he had been standing here in the first place. Jiang Ruan was not surprised, but just stood a few steps away from him, looking at him silently.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, the moonlight gradually fell, and the figure that was clearly extinguished also became clear, it was a young man, beautiful and heroic, brocade clothes walking at night, the moonlight fell on his face, and he was even more handsome than the people in the world, as if he was a Qingjun immortal who walked out of the Qionglai fairyland, looking down on the world lightly.
Jiang Ruan was wearing a bright red thin skirt today, the skirt was long and long, dragging out a meandering scenery on the ground, and it happened to be embroidered with large golden flowers, which was dazzling for a moment. And she has a beautiful face, and the night is a little more charming.
There seemed to be another wild cat in the air that barked softly, Jiang Ruan had a beautiful face, dressed in red like fire, slender and colorful, and gave her a layer of murderous aura. She said: "The prince came late at night, what happened? ”
The young man was dressed in black, his appearance was beautiful and heroic, and he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I heard that the daughter of the General's Mansion was born with charming bones, so I came to visit." ”
"What is the natural charm, if the prince finds a bronze mirror and takes a look inside, he will know what it means to be a demon." Jiang Ruan said coldly, and without waiting for the other party's answer after speaking, he turned around and went back to the house, and closed the door with a "bang".
A crack appeared on the face of the deserted young man who stayed in place, and he was so bold that he even slammed the door? But it was a guard on the side who stretched out his hand, Xiao Shao looked at him with an unkind face, and Jin San whispered softly: "Master, this is not good, the young lady will definitely not forgive you." ”
Sure enough, he was still angry, Xiao Shao pursed his lips, and his gaze at the door of the house suddenly became a little more overwhelmed.
