Chapter 111: Outside the World (5300 words)
The silver moon is like a hook. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Through the Korean paper, you can see the mottled shadows of the trees outside the courtyard.
Ruosu turned sideways, and at a glance, the vague scene seemed to be an impenetrable world.
She can be regarded as a lucky person, she has the mercy of God and lives again.
But Rao seems to know everything, or there is an unexpected situation for her, in addition to the distant brother with a strange character, Chu Chen's repeated appearances have also become a bad fate that she doesn't know how to deal with.
After all, she doesn't know the real Bai Ruosu!
tossed and turned like this, until the next morning, Ruosu fell asleep shallowly.
It's August now, and in a few days it will be autumn, and the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth of August will be held in three sessions.
I don't know if Brother Yuan'er's eight-strand problem solving can be progressed? Last time, I heard Qiao Wei mention that he was the top among the tribute students this year, and if there was no accident, he would definitely be able to pass the exam.
Ruo Su rarely got up early, so she asked Qiaoyun to take a small bandage over, and then embroidered the pattern of 'champion and first', on which the outline of the boy was already visible.
"Cousin, the big housekeeper of the Bai family is outside, saying that he has something to report to you." Qin Xiang came in with rose dew water, looked at Ruo Su's embroidery patterns, and said with a smile: "The girl didn't say anything about this skill." ”
Ruosu put down Xiao Xiao Xiao and raised his eyes to look outside, the sky was just bright, if Uncle Pan hadn't been in a hurry, he wouldn't have come to him at this time.
She then said, "Please go to the flower hall and sit for a while, and I will come over in a while." Ruo Su instructed Qiao Yan.
Qin Xiang washed Ruosu's face with flower water: "I heard Mama Rong say that the girl and the lady look very similar." ”
Ruo Su looked at himself in the bronze mirror and smiled faintly: "Don't mention this in the future, the body of the lady concubine, how can you and I talk about it in vain." ”
Hearing this, Qin Xiang also realized that what she said was wrong, and she liked Ruosu a little more, and even the eldest lady couldn't match her intelligence, how could such a girl really like a married man?
Ruosu washed up, and as soon as he stepped into the flower hall, he saw Uncle Pan pacing back and forth vigorously, looking anxious.
"Miss, something happened!" When Uncle Pan saw Ruosu, he looked at it and said, "The adult is not in Beijing, and the old slave really has no choice but to come to you." ”
Ruosu sat on the stone bench and brought tea to Uncle Pan, and said, "Uncle Pan, don't worry, talk slowly if you have something." "It's useless to be anxious, what has happened is irreversible.
Everything is done calmly and quietly.
Uncle Pan stepped forward and did not sit down, but bowed slightly and said: "That's the case, the grange on the outskirts of the city died yesterday, and the official in the yamen has already arrested Aqing for questioning, Aqing grew up under the watchful eyes of an old slave, and he will definitely not commit murderous acts, Miss, how do you think this is good?" ”
Ah Qing is a member of the Bai family, a distant relative of Uncle Pan, because his parents were not there since he was a child, he followed Uncle Pan to the capital to pick up waste, and later found Bai Qishan, only to get Ansheng. Ah Qing didn't have any skills, and he was a Muna, so Uncle Pan settled him in the grange to help with chores.
Ruosu listened to Uncle Pan's words, and she knew what happened, she thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Pan, don't worry, since Aqing was arrested by the people of the Yamen, he must not be convicted so quickly, I will go to the Grange with you first." "After all, we have to find a chance to go, and it's better to choose a day than to hit the day.
I don't know why, Uncle Pan saw the shadow of the late lady in Ruosu's body, where is she still an under-married lady, and the indifferent and detached bearing when she speaks is not something that ordinary women can learn.
He couldn't help but relax a little.
Recently, everything has been unfavorable, but the rumors about Wen Tianyou have stopped for a while, and some people think that she is in a hurry to make wisdom and find a way to save herself, so she said this. Some people think that she is young and has no training to go to court, so she is all laughing. As for Uncle Qiao and Second Master Qiao, it is even more inappropriate. And the daughters of the Qiao family have always disliked her, and Ruosu doesn't care about extra hostility.
For those who don't care, even if they turn the sky upside down, it's just a farce.
Ruosu was not in good spirits, so he naturally lost his appetite, so Qiaoyun prepared a cold sour plum soup and brought it to the carriage.
In addition to Qiaoyun, a big girl, Ruosu also brought two nurses and a few rough mothers-in-law, while Qiaoyan stayed in the West Wing Courtyard, she talked a lot and was the most likely to cause trouble.
As for Qin Xiang, although she is from Qiao Wei's family, Ruo Su only believes her for seven points: "Sister Qin Xiang stayed in the courtyard and looked at the medicine jar, and my grandmother's medicinal diet was still taken care of by you personally, so I could rest assured." ”
Qin Xiang hesitated: "Girl, the ancestor has explained, where you go, the slave and maid have to follow you..."
Before she finished speaking, Ruosu had already left the moon gate.
Qin Xiang looked at it and hurriedly returned to the East Courtyard to report to Qiao Wei.
"Sister Su went to take care of the Bai Family Grange? ... It's good that she grows up sooner, and I can feel more at ease. Old Mrs. Qiao knew very well in her heart that she couldn't protect Ruosu for the rest of her life, and instead of relying on men, she wouldn't let herself be full-fledged. In this way, she will be able to keep her man in the future.
It's also good to have a bit of experience before leaving the cabinet: "The Bai family is now the only master like her in Beijing, and it's hard for her." Qiao Wei sighed.
-------
Qingwei's carriage began to sway when it got on the official road.
Qiaoyun lowered her eyebrows, and didn't dare to say a word, Miss asked her to ride in the carriage today, and she didn't bring Qiaoyan, this.... There must be something to ask her.
But hasn't she already explained everything?
"It tastes good, and he told you to make it?" Ruo Su took a small sip and tasted the iced sour plum in the bronze thin-necked pot, and asked calmly.
Qiaoyun was immediately stunned: "Little... Miss, slave... The slave knows that she is wrong, although this sour plum soup was learned from the cook in Baoyue Building, but... But the slave maid is really good for the young lady. ”
Ruosu took a few sips in succession, with a faint sweetness and sourness in the mouth, but it was also sweet but not greasy, and it was extremely appetizing at a time like this.
She said, "What else did he let you do?" ”
How can you defeat the hypocrite if you don't know who you are!
What a dignified master, who is not good, thinking about a twelve-year-old girl! He's not ashamed!
The more I think about it, the more I feel like a child daughter-in-law raised by others, if Su has had enough of being used by others in her previous life, inferior to others, and obeys everything, she no longer wants to be controlled by anyone!
I don't want to ...... anymore
Qiaoyun looked at her young lady, neither like she was angry, nor like she was nothing, she was very bottomless, she whispered: "Actually... Miss's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged by him, and even..."
"Say!" Ruo Su said coldly.
Qiaoyun was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Even the goat milk almond tea that Miss must use every day was specially explained by the prince, saying that you have a thin body, and it is not easy to raise you, and you will not live to be sixteen!" ”
Ruosu almost squirted out the sour plum soup she had just drunk, and she naturally wouldn't know that Bai Ruosu had only lived to sixteen in her previous life.
"Miss! Small... Miss, what the slave and maid said is the truth, please don't drive the slave and maid away, slave..."Qiao Yun said, and cried.
Ruosu pulled the curtain to let herself breathe.
She thought that she would still be alone in this life, but...
However, the world is cold, she doesn't think about it, and she doesn't dare to think about it. In the previous life, Wen Tianmo was the best example, the oath in the past was right, and it was not an empty joy when it came.
Since ancient times, women have been dependent on men to survive, but she doesn't believe it! Even if she is alone in this life, she has to follow her own heart, and the days of jealousy in the backyard are really not what she wants.
In Ruosu's eyes, except for his father Bai Qishan, he has never seen a man without three rooms and four concubines.
And a person like Chu Chen, who is above the clouds, the woman who wants to warm his bed and interpret his dreams should be a door!
"When did I say I was going to kick you away!" Ruosu slandered Chu Chen's 'ill intentions' while instructing Qiao Yun: "No matter what he asks next time, you will reply to Miss Ben that everything is fine!" ”
Don't live more than sixteen?! Let's see, this life is going to end.
After traveling for two hours, the carriage stopped at a post station.
Uncle Pan instructed Donglai and Donggo to buy some grain, grass and water, and they couldn't bear it even if they were a good horse.
The carriage stopped under a leafy banyan tree, and Ruosu could hear the cicadas chirping and birds chirping in the carriage, which was very comfortable compared to the four directions of Qiaofu.
"Miss, the slave has prepared pine nuts, you have little to eat for breakfast, so you will use some." Qiaoyun took a clean Jinpa, wrapped a piece of pine nut from the box, and his attitude was honestly afraid.
Ruosu took the handkerchief, tasted it, and said lightly: "You are my girl, and you are a heartfelt, I will definitely not be like the master next to me, and I will sell you if I don't like it." Moreover, you were also persecuted by Chu Chen in this matter, from now on, if you only recognize me as the master, I will not treat you badly, and I will let Uncle Pan deal with the affairs of your family when I find an opportunity. ”
Giving a slap first, and then rewarding a piece of candy is the most able to buy people's hearts.
Qiaoyun's tears fell, and he looked at his young lady and thanked Dai De and said, "The slave can be saved, and I will definitely serve the young lady in the future." ”
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a gentle wind blew in, and at this time, a group of men in cloth clothes riding tall horses and wearing small melon skin hats slowly approached from the official road.
What is particularly conspicuous is the only man who does not wear a hat and has a bamboo hairpin in his bun.
This man had an emaciated face and a tall body, and Ruosu recognized him at a glance.
Lethe!
The god sieve of the gambling house!
How did he end up here?
Donglai and Donggo were well-trained, and when they saw someone approaching the carriage, they both hurried over and protected Ruosu's carriage.
Uncle Pan said to the man who seemed to be a foot trader: "The labor is resting elsewhere, and our master is afraid of noise." "The approach of the horse team caused a cloud of dust.
Lechuan glanced at the carriage covered with green curtains, and then looked at the carriage surrounded by a few rough mothers-in-law, and knew which lady must be in the carriage, no wonder this old man wanted to let their group avoid it.
Looking at it again, the small face exposed in the curtain of the carriage, Lechuan Jian frowned, these eyes are really familiar.
Almost instantly, Ruosu looked at him, saw the corner of his lips hooked into a smile, although he was uncertain in his heart, but Lethe gave her the feeling that she was an outsider who could see through all the cause and effect.
"I've been looking for you for a few days, but I didn't expect..." Lechuan paused before he said, the swarthy boy in the gambling house that day was actually a daughter's family.
Lechuan's words made Ruosu stunned, and at the same time, he was particularly shocked, and then Ruosu smiled through the slightly open curtain: "Let you see you laugh." ”
Whose girl would dress up like that to go to the casino to place bets?
It's really 'laughing'.
Lechuan didn't seem to be much shocked, let alone disparaged Ruo Su's unladylike style, he whispered a few words to the people behind him, and the pedestrians went to the other end of the post station one after another, leaving Ruo Su with a piece of silence.
"Hehe... Bai Zhantang? What is a good name for Miss? "Since a woman is dressed as a man, the name must also be fake, and Lechuan seems to say it casually.
Ruosu replied: "Each other, each other." "How can anyone in this world really call 'Lethe'? She is well-read, and she has never seen anyone with the surname 'forget'!
"Haha.... Miss is really not an ordinary person, I don't know...."Lechuan laughed on his back, he has been in this world for more than ten years, and the endless loneliness makes him look forward to looking for the 'same kind', but... He didn't know who Ruosu was? Will it be the same as he thinks?
Since that day, searching for 'him' has been fruitless for many days, and there is really no dark-skinned and talented teenager in the capital.
She hid it too deeply.
This world is different from the world he came from, Lechuan took back Fang Cai's words, tightened the reins and hugged his fists and said: "There are still important things to do, and go first, if there is a fate, take care." ”
Ruosu nodded, as if he had said hello.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly put down the curtain, fortunately he didn't bring Qin Xiang, if this matter reached the ears of his grandmother, maybe her old man would be worried again.
Qiao Yun pursed his mouth, and his eyes were at a loss.
Ruo Su glanced at her: "It's okay, just tell Chu Chen, let him know that I am by no means good, nor am I a well-behaved young lady, since he wants to know, let him know thoroughly." ”
Qiao Yun pursed her lips: "Slave maid.... The slave and the maid can be saved. ”
After a short rest, the carriage drove to the official road again, and after another hour, the ears of sorghum and maize were visible all over the ground.
In the boundless wilderness, the wind blows up green waves.
The Bai family's grange arrived in a short time, and as soon as the carriage stopped, a village head stepped forward to greet him: "Miss is coming, and the slave is lazy." ”
The head of the village is about forty years old, with a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a greedy face, he is Gu Shiren, the head of the village hired by the Bai family grange.
Ruosu's eyes were cold, and he could see from his eyes that he didn't take himself seriously.
The superficial work is too good, and subtle expressions can still betray a person's true thoughts.
There was a murder in the Grange, and he was so relaxed that he even danced with his eyebrows?
Do you really take her seriously, right?
Ruo Su said lightly: "It's okay, I'm just here to take a look." The indifference on her face and the arrogance beyond her years made Gu Shiren slightly startled.
But after a moment, he laughed again and led Ruosu to a house in the Grange.
Along the way, you can see the green farmer, because of yesterday's accident, there is no farmer to work in the field.
After a while, I arrived at a quadrangle, there is a big bowl of Yang Kui planted in the courtyard, there is a kang head in the inner house, it is not comparable to the capital house, but you can also rest in peace.
"Miss, wait a minute, the slave will let people serve tea." Gu Shiren bowed and said, very servile, it is a pity that such a person was not sent to the palace to purify.
Qiaoyun wiped the Dongpo chair clean, and then helped Ruosu to sit down, the carriage was tired, her small body was really tired.
Shao leaning, a woman wearing a coarse cloth dress of kudzu flowers walked in with a lacquer plate, the woman combed the woman's bun, and simply inserted a camellia on her head, looking very thin.
Ruo Su suddenly grabbed Qiao Yun's hand and looked at the woman again.
Isn't this Qingmo who served her in her previous life? How could she end up in the Bai Family Grange?
"What are you still doing! Serve tea to Miss. Gu Shiren shouted to Qingmo.
Qingmo seemed to be very afraid of Gu Shiren, nodded again and again, and 'snorted' twice in her mouth, and then brought the tea to Ruosu, the burn on her hand was particularly eye-catching.
Ruosu remembered that Qiao Ruowan burned it with the tongs that burned the stove.
Qingmo is the girl that Tao and Qiao Ruowan placed next to her, and after a long time, she also became angry with her, which caused Qiao Ruowan to be extremely dissatisfied and repeatedly troubled her.
"Stop, look up." Ruosu said, "Tell me, what's your name?" ”
Qingmo was stunned, stood in place and glanced at Gu Shiren's face, and saw that he had no opinion, so he raised his head.
Sure enough, it's Qingmo!
Now, although her face is sallow and her body bones seem to be much worse than before, Ruosu still recognizes her.
"Whew...."Qingmo hesitated a few times, couldn't say anything, and quietly lowered his head again.
She's dumb?
Why do good people get dumb? How long has it been? Ruo Su calculated that she was only half a year younger after her death!
It's really a thing!
"Miss, don't blame, she is a concubine who was bought by the slave for a few taels of silver five months ago, but she can't speak, and the rest is excellent." Gu Shiren grinned with yellow teeth, as if he felt how much he had gained.
Ruosu's grip on Qiaoyun's hand became tighter and tighter.
Qingmo was sold? Qiao Ruowan! You're ruthless!
"Oh? Really? How many taels of silver did you pay for it? Ruosu's beautiful voice was extremely cold at this time.
"It's worthless, she's just a mute!" Gu Shiren replied.
Ruo Su inadvertently saw the bruises on Qingmo's wrists, and suddenly sneered: "Since it is a worthless thing, Miss Ben will ask you for it, does Gu Zhuangtou have any opinions?" ”
When Gu Shiren heard this, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, he was not reluctant to give up a few taels of silver, but the water spirit born by this woman Qingmo was much more nourishing than the girl he saw in the countryside, he got such a baby at this age, it was not enough to hold her every night to find fun, if it weren't for his ruthless wife and hiding the money in the family, he wouldn't mind straightening Qingmo.
As soon as Ruo Su's words fell, Qing Mo fell to his knees and kowtowed to Ruo Su three times in a row, and then nodded with joy.
It can be seen how much she wants to leave this place and leave Gu Shiren!
"You slut, isn't Lao Tzu treating you well enough! You want to leave in the blink of an eye, I'll let you go! Gu Shiren said, and he had the meaning of stepping forward to do something.
Ruo Su hurriedly shouted: "Presumptuous! Come on, press Gu Shiren for me. As she spoke, she asked Qiaoyun to pick up Qingmo, and then asked Dong to turn over the account book of the Grange.
With such a head of the village, there must be a trick behind it.
"Miss... What are you doing? Minions have never made mistakes, you can't do that to me! Gu Shiren's tone became unfriendly.
The Bai family has been defeated, and a twelve-year-old girl still wants to spread wild in his territory?
"Why can't I do this to you? Come to the east, since Gu Shiren doesn't believe in Miss Ben's ruthlessness, you will convince him once! Ruosu's expression was particularly cold, looking at Qingmo's current situation becoming more and more angry.
She was a woman like a flower, and she was tortured into it?
Donglai responded, dragged Gu Shiren to the courtyard, punched and kicked, and brought people in again. (To be continued.) )
