Chapter 226
Qi Feng also smiled and said: "It's just some novelty, the third sister-in-law has never seen anything good in the palace, and I'm just offering ugliness." He paused, and then said, "I'm not going to hide it, I heard that something happened in the palace." ”
Since Qi Feng has already said so, he must have heard the ins and outs of the matter, he and Xiao Shao are both senior brothers, and he is also working on the affairs of Xiao Shao's Baizhanglou, and he naturally has a lot of friendship with Jinyiwei. Since he is a person of Jinyiwei, he has to stand on the side of Jinyiwei, and this matter may be on the side of Jiner for Qi Feng. Jiang Ruan smiled faintly: "Oh, is it possible that the master is also guilty?" ”
In the end, the dew drop incident has had a great impact on her, and she is used to speaking mildly on weekdays, maybe she is in a bad mood these days, or Qi Feng is also an acquaintance, and she doesn't have to be a mask in front of acquaintances, so she has some sarcasm in her words.
That's not necessary, Qi Feng pointed to the stone table in the courtyard, and said, "Why don't you sit down and talk." ”
Jiang Ruan bowed, and the two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and Forsythia brought tea and snacks and stepped aside. Jiang Ruan looked at the tea, still with a smile on his face, but his tone was a little cold: "Could it be that Qi Feng also thinks that this matter is all my maid's fault, and then Miss Liao also sent someone to destroy her innocence?" ”
"With the third sister-in-law's jealous and hateful nature, it is very likely that she will do this." Qi Feng smiled and stroked his chin, now he has shaved off all his beards, but the original habit is still retained, so the action is inevitably a little abrupt, but he obviously doesn't think it, he still looked at Jiang Ruan's unchanged face with a smile and said: "But if the third sister-in-law makes a move, how can she let the Liao family miss escape?" The third sister-in-law's methods have never been at fault, so the person behind it can't be the third sister-in-law. ”
This was said coincidentally, but Jiang Ruan also smiled: "You mean, I am a bad person but I am still very bad, and I am not qualified to be such a pitiful bad person?" ”
"No, no," Qi Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I mean that the third sister-in-law has a brave temperament and does things without leakage, such a lame and loophole plan will never be made by the third sister-in-law." ”
When Jiang Ruan heard this, he looked at him with a smile and said, "You say this but you want to please me?" Aren't you afraid that this matter will reach the ears of Jinyiwei? ”
"There is always no two-sided trick," Qi Feng sighed: "Could it be that my Qi Feng is the grass on the wall with two sides and three knives in the eyes of the third sister-in-law?" Qi Feng smiled proudly: "Since the third sister-in-law and Jinyiwei are standing at two ends, I am standing on the side of the third sister-in-law unconditionally, so what, let's do the big thing of burning the granary together, there is always some friendship in adversity, the third sister-in-law can rest assured, I am an absolutely righteous person." Seeing that Jiang Ruan was silent with a smile, but his expression was obviously much softer than Fang Cai, Qi Feng sighed in his heart and continued: "But the third sister-in-law didn't think about it, who is behind this matter? ”
"The man behind it?" Jiang Ruan said lightly: "I want to check, but now that your third brother is not in the house every day, I have nothing to say to him about this matter, Jinyiwei is his person in the end, and I will not move." Besides, if none of his men can find them, how can I find them? After all, it wasn't my hand, maybe it was just a play by the woman herself. ”
"Acting?" Qi Feng was a little speechless: "This ......." Although this is also a very likely thing, but reputation is more important to a woman than her life, if the girl of the Liao family really acted in such a play, would she sacrifice too much? It's a loss-making deal. ”
"A loss-making deal?" Jiang Ruan smiled lightly: "So men and women always look at things differently. Fame is indeed important to a woman, but if she can get what she wants, then fame is not important, it is worth the sacrifice. Although this move is now seen by you as a self-destruction of 10,000 enemies, day after day, you will slowly find that this is not at all harmful to her, even if she is being said, it is just a little bit of inconsequential gossip. ”
"You say so, but the woman earned it? But I still don't understand. Qi Feng was a little confused.
Jiang Ruan glanced at him, Rao is Qi Feng is extremely smart, and he shows his strength in the court, but the back house and the previous dynasty are different battlefields after all, and men can never distinguish women's scheming. Qi Feng thinks so, Xiao Shaojiner's thoughts can be imagined, this may be the difference between men and women. She smiled slightly: "Okay, let me ask you, what is the background of the Liao family girl now?" ”
"Both parents are dead, alone, with family wealth, and relatives are eyeing each other." Qi Feng thought for a while and added a few more words: "Now the only thing to rely on is the marriage with Jiner." ”
"That's right, if you were her, what other way would you have to go now?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Jin Er's words were stopped, and he said: "Third sister-in-law, I'm not a woman, your analogy is too much, too strange." ”
Jiang Ruan didn't answer his words and continued: "The only way for such a weak woman with family wealth to keep her family wealth from being shaken by her relatives is to find a good backer. Jin Er's life experience and mansion are all good, and Liao Meng, now there is no better choice than Jin Er, to put it mildly, there is no such shop in this village, Liao Meng naturally has to hold it tightly in his hands. A person who wants to climb the mountain, no matter how many choices there are on the road, his ultimate goal is to climb the mountain. Similarly, Liao dreams of marrying into Jinerfu, no matter what he does or what sacrifices he makes, as long as he can get what he wants, this deal will not be a loss. ”
Qi Feng couldn't blink when he heard it, only listening to Jiang Ruan's soft and pleasant voice, but it was very clear and calm: "Okay, let's take a look at the possible consequences of this matter." Now that Liao Meng was insulted, everyone knows that she is a victim and a sympathetic person, and Jin Er does not cancel her family affair with her now, but she has a good reputation in the whole capital, even if it is said that Liao Meng is not worthy of Jin Er, it is only a very small part. After Jiner and Liao Meng become relatives in the future, they will say that this is a match made in heaven. On the contrary, Dew Drop and I are now wicked people, and since Jinji suspects that this matter is my hand, he will have a little more contact with Liao Meng. Qi Feng, you said, but he sacrificed his reputation, and the worst was said by a small number of people, but he was able to get the blessing of everyone, the pity of his husband, and completely beheaded the woman who was involved with his husband in the past. ”
Qi Feng was already stunned when he heard it, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I originally thought I was smart, but my sister looked like a fool in front of the third sister-in-law, but now it seems that it is not the third sister-in-law, and the young lady of the Liao family can almost play with me between applause." would use her reputation as a bargaining chip, and Miss Liao is really not a mortal. Qi Feng thought about it, and suddenly looked at Jiang Ruan and said: "It's just the third sister-in-law, since you have already seen her thoughts, according to what you say, it may indeed be a bureau set up by Liao Meng, why don't you tell the third brother about it?" ”
Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes: "Tell him what to do, Xiao Shao is a confident person, he has his own judgment, since he has his own judgment, how can he believe what others say, but it only adds to his troubles." ”
"The third sister-in-law's words are not right," Qi Feng interrupted her: "You know that the third brother is not such a person. Third sister-in-law, I think you don't want to. Although Qi Feng is not as good at speculating on people's hearts as Jiang Ruan, he has been with Jiang Ruan for so long, and he has probably figured out Jiang Ruan's character. Jiang Ruan is a somewhat awkward person, the husband and wife are normal for the first time, she is unwilling to bow her head, and she doesn't even want to explain, this may be another kind of arrogance, if you change the thick-skinned and will say good things, but the kung fu of coaxing will be reconciled as before, but the other party is a stuffy gourd like Xiao Shao. Thinking of this, Qi Feng was also a little depressed.
Jiang Ruan saw his thoughts, and said angrily: "You don't say good things for Liao Meng, you say good things for Xiao Shao, if you say good things to him, forget it as soon as possible, I don't have the time to drink tea with you." ”
"Hey, hey," Qi Feng hurriedly touched his nose and said, "No, no, how can I be this kind of person, I mean, the third brother is too disagreeable, the third sister-in-law don't be angry, look at the gadgets I brought you." Qi Feng went to open the box on the side, there was a round box carved from wood in the box, Jiang Ruan took it, only to see that the round box was carved with a small person, and the lid on it could be lifted, so he subconsciously opened it, and immediately, a smooth sound of music came out. She was taken aback, and looked at Qi Feng inquiringly, Qi Feng smiled: "My friend Fang came back from a business trip at sea, this thing came from a Western country, what is it called the Eight Music Box, there is a sound of music in it, it's interesting." ”
Jiang Ruan couldn't help but smile too, in fact, in her previous life and present life, she was in a different place, although she didn't have the opportunity to have some exquisite things, she had seen a lot of rare treasures. It's just a thing like Qi Feng that finds another way, but it's different, this thing is not a valuable thing, but it's more novel and interesting, which is rare. Qi Feng has been here for so long, and finally saw that Jiang Ruan was no longer a polite and gentle smile, but a smile from the heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Third sister-in-law likes it, right?" If you like it, why don't you go there yourself? He seemed to think of something, and said: "He also has a lot of things in Yi Bao Pavilion, the third sister-in-law doesn't know if she has been there, if not, why don't you go and see it now." Anyway, Yi Bao Pavilion is its own thing, maybe there is something else to look at. ”
Jiang Ruan was stunned, Yi Bao Ge, she really hadn't been there for a long time, knowing that it was Xiao Shao's industry, thinking that when she went to Yi Bao Ge, she and Xiao Shao were not husband and wife at that time, and Dong Yinger and Zhao Jin went to hang out, and were a little shocked by the price. She thought for a while, then smiled at Qi Feng and said, "Okay." ”
Now it's Qi Feng's turn to be dumbfounded, he was just talking and playing casually, after all, Jiang Ruan is now the princess, how can he always walk with him as a foreign man, although he is close to Xiao Shao to the point of avoiding suspicion, but he always feels that with Jiang Ruan's exquisite thoughts, he may not have discovered his thoughts, Jiang Ruan, a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, can say the word good so calmly, Qi Feng also looked at him blankly for a while and didn't speak.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan seemed to notice his gaze and said with a smile: "Why, you have something to do, so you don't want to go out with me?" I'll bother you this time, and I'll count it in the future. ”
Qi Feng came back to his senses at this time, he is also a man of temperament, Jiang Ruan is so calm with a woman, it seems a little strange for him to refuse again. Moreover, the Great Jin Dynasty is not so harsh on women who have become relatives, as long as there is no intimate action, it is okay. Thinking that Jiang Ruan has been in a bad mood in the house recently, it is better to go out and relax. He smiled and said, "How dare you, go and prepare the carriage." ”
Forsythia was still a little hesitant, if Jiang Ruan was going out with Qi Feng like this, how could it seem like Qi Feng was deliberately digging the foot of the wall. Every time Qi Feng looked at Jiang Ruan in his eyes, his gaze was a little strange, and Forsythia, as Jiang Ruan's personal maid, noticed it, and muttered a little in his heart. Lu Zhu didn't have so many concerns, and only said: "How long has the young lady been trapped in the mansion these days, it doesn't matter if you go out for a walk, Qi Gongzi is a friend of my uncle, and he will also be measured." ”
Tianzhu said: "I will protect them, forsythia you and I will go." The dew drops are left in the house, and if they meet Liao Meng on the street, they are afraid that something will happen again. Tianzhu's words have always been short, as a former brocade guard, this time the matter of dewdrops, Tianzhu was beyond everyone's expectations, and stood firmly on the side of dewdrops. In her opinion, that Liao Meng has ulterior motives, nine times out of ten, this matter is for the dewdrops, it is okay not to go out for the dewdrops these days, who knows what else the woman has to bend her intestines, and the dewdrops will go out so as not to be hit.
Luzhu also knew that Dao Tianzhu was worried about herself, and her heart warmed, and she responded with a smile. After a few people finished cleaning up, they left the gate of the palace.
……
In the room, a young man was sitting in front of a chessboard playing against himself, and from a distance the man looked very beautiful, especially a pointed chin, which seemed to be full of beauty, and his lips were as red as freshly rubbed rouge. It's just that when I got closer to look, the beauty was ruined by the blue and blue fox eyes.
With half of his face and a mask, he seemed to be staring leisurely at the chess game in front of him, and a person appeared in the room at some point, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Jiang Ruan and Qi Feng have left the palace gate." ”
There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man holding the chess piece held the chess piece in one hand, frowning and carefully studying the chess game, as if he was thinking about where to start. After a while, he smiled slightly, dropped the chess piece to the center, and said, "Let's go out." ”
The people in the room quickly retreated, the man looked at the chess game in front of him, the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more charming, it seemed to contain some kind of meaningful meaning, he looked at the chessboard for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand and brushed his sleeves, the chess pieces on the chessboard were instantly disrupted, and all the chess pieces fell to the ground, hitting made a crisp sound, but the man seemed to enjoy it very much, closed his eyes and listened quietly, and after a long time, he raised his eyes again and looked at the windowsill.
There is a pot of orchids on the windowsill, the white petals of the orchid are slightly stretched, as if they are in life, and they seem to be a ray of light in this gloomy room, exuding a strange fragrance. The man smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Attack the heart first, and the woman too." ”
This time, it was utterly contemptuous.
……。
When the gossip in the capital popped up, the palace was calm and a little strange, the emperor was like the past up and down, the daily recital should be reviewed and reviewed, the ignorant minister should be scolded should be beheaded and beheaded, the minister who likes should be promoted, and the reward should be rewarded. But some careful courtiers found that the emperor had not asked about the affairs of the court and China for a long time, and now there are only two remaining princes. Even changed the previous enthusiasm for the thirteen princes Xuanpei, and now they are in a state of ignoring the two princes, whether it is the court or the bottom, these two princes seem to have been forgotten.
So the ministers were puzzled in their hearts, there was a daughter in the harem, so they wanted to let their daughter bring a message back, what does this emperor mean now, I never thought that the news brought back by those female dependents was even more bleak, not only the two princes, the emperor is now rarely even in the harem, there are few concubines in the palace who can get close to him, and now in addition to the ice beauty Mu Xirou, it is the little Xiuyi Dong Ying'er who is closest to the emperor's body, and that is just because she has done a good imperial meal.
The ladies of the harem complained that they had failed the deep palace, but the ministers of the previous dynasty smelled an unusual smell from it. The ministers have all seen the world, and the emperor's seemingly small actions may have some meaning, such as the snubbing of the two princes, although it is strange, the ministers will not really give up their support for the two princes because of the emperor's snubbing. Now it's a gamble, I'm afraid that I'm on the wrong team, if the bet is right, it's a bet to win, and the wealth is within reach. Therefore, the excerpt that demanded the change of the crown prince still flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.
In the room, Mingyue looked at Xuan Pei who was sitting at the table practicing calligraphy, when everyone was now in a team, and Xuan Li used endless means, or toughness or temptation was just to win connections, Xuan Pei seemed to be unusually relaxed, the emperor did not summon him, he was also happy, practicing calligraphy and recuperation in the house all day long, as if he was really a self-cultivation prince. If it weren't for Mingyue and Chaoyang who are now Xuan Pei's henchmen, and knowing his unknown ambitions, I am afraid that this beautiful boy with a smile on his face really doesn't have so many plans and plans in his heart, just a slightly intelligent and noble little boy.
