==Chapter 101==

The matter is not over, there will always be people in this world who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and this matter has been reported, because the impact is a little bad, Qin Dianxue even called Cheng Wenjing over.

Qin Dianxue did not get to the bottom of the matter, but only reprimanded Cheng Wenjing for bullying the lesbian Yan in the teaching house and opening the book case of the same inkstone, but the others were not said, which can be regarded as taking it lightly. In fact, it is also conceivable that most of the students in Guozijian are either rich or expensive, and there is another reason for this matter, and the doctors and classics of Tai Academy are not fools, so they will naturally not be mixed in.

Although Cheng Wenjing was not dealt with in the school, in the end, the matter was still publicized, and it spread for a while, and some people inevitably saw jokes because of this.

Jiuniang originally thought that Cheng Wenjing would stay at home for a few days to avoid this limelight and talk about anything else, but she didn't know that she was not, except that the whole person was very silent, and she would come to class on time every day.

On this day, at noon, the three of them went to the dining hall to eat together.

Because of the rumors, Jiu Niang deliberately chose a private room on the third floor, so as not to spoil the mood of the three of them with all kinds of eyes and whispers.

As soon as the food was served, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came was violent, with a slightly annoyed face, and it was Wang Shilang.

"Cheng Wenjing, are you still a child, why do you embarrass Xiao Ru?"

Cheng Wenjing was stunned for a moment, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and her face turned pale.

"Brother Shiro......"

"Don't call me that, I used to think that you didn't grow up, and it was inevitable to be willful, but you are about to pass the line, and you have also entered the country to study and reason, but I didn't expect it to be like this! Do you know that because of your actions, Xiao Ru has no face to see anyone, she is already in a difficult situation, why do you have to make it difficult to ...... with her?"

With a 'snap', Jiuniang put down the chopsticks in her hand and interrupted Wang Shilang's words.

"Wang Shilang, you're here today to talk about this?" She said with a cold face.

Wang Shilang saw Jiu Niang sitting on the side, and his face was a little stunned: "Jiu Niang, I ...... it."

"If you're just here to rebuke Wenjing, you can go."

Cheng Wenjing choked up, threw herself into Jiu Niang's arms, and couldn't hold back crying anymore. She has endured it for the past few days, someone said some sour words in her ear, she endured it, and she endured it when she was reprimanded by the classics. She hardly felt like herself, but at this moment she finally couldn't help it.

She waited with gossip and all kinds of strange eyes, never expecting that what she was waiting for would be Wang Shilang's indiscriminate reprimand.

Jiu Niang hugged her, patted her back soothingly, and continued: "Everyone is qualified to reprimand her, but you don't!" It stands to reason that I shouldn't intervene in this matter, but you and Wenjing grew up together, I don't believe you don't know Wenjing's temperament, maybe she is indeed a little excessive, but it is by no means as vicious as you say! ”

Wang Shilang was speechless, and his face turned red: "I'm just ......"

"What are you? You're just here to fight the grievances, you're just here to give others grievances? What qualifications do you have to give grievances to others, Wang Shilang, I don't care what Xiao Ru said to you or what he did, I just want to tell you one thing, don't be fooled by the surface, Xiao Ru is not as weak and innocent as you imagined! ”

"Jiu Niang, Xiao Ru is your compatriot and sister, even if there is a misunderstanding between the two of you, why do you say that she ...... like that"

Wang Shilang has always wanted to unravel the gap between the two sisters, but he has been hesitant to do it. It's just that the words of this explanation, in Jiu Niang's cold eyes, gradually fell silent.

"I said her, what did I say about her? Wang Shilang, who do you think you are, how much do you know about the matter between me and Xiao Ru, let alone what are you doing? Are you going to be nosy with some dogs? ”

This is the first time that Jiu Niang has shown such a sharp side in front of several people.

Not only because Wang Shilang came to reprimand Cheng Wenjing indiscriminately, but also because of a kind of empathetic indignation. She has never encountered this kind of situation in her previous life, always when others say something, Wang Shilang listens to it, and accuses her self-righteously, whether the attitude is indignant or well-intentioned, it makes Jiuniang feel a kind of disgust.

Yes, disgusting.

At first, Jiu Niang couldn't tell what it was like, but she felt aggrieved and felt extremely uncomfortable. She explained, but her explanations never convinced him, and gradually she stopped explaining. Reliving her life, she finally found an exact adjective, and that was disgusting.

The righteous act of self-righteousness is actually a violation of other people's care for him. Because he cares, it hurts, and if he is another person, who will eat him, he has already been reprimanded with sharp words.

Just like she was right now.

Jiu Niang felt an unknown sense of refreshment, which made the smile on her face even colder.

"I don't believe you don't know that Wenjing likes you, that's how you repay her liking? Would you rather listen to the words of others who fear that the world will not be chaotic, than believe her? I sue you Wang Shilang, everyone in this world is qualified to say this about Wenjing, but you don't! ”

Wang Shilang couldn't help but shrink back, as if he didn't expect Xiao Jiuniang to be so sharp and aggressive, and he was a little out of his mind. It's not that he doesn't know that Cheng Wenjing likes him, but he only treats her as a younger sister, and he thinks that when she grows up, she should be able to understand that she is just a brother and sister to him.

As soon as Dongshi said goodbye that day, he was going to visit Wenjing in Chengfu the next day, but because of a major event at home, he didn't go out for a few days. finally came to the school, and heard that Cheng Wenjing was bullying Xiao Ru, he went to visit Xiao Ru first, and saw that she looked gloomy and confused, and was even more angry, so he hurriedly came over. Who would have thought of coming here, but before he could say anything, he ushered in Jiu Niang's reprimand like a storm.

Everyone in this world is qualified, but he is not qualified......

In fact, he didn't want to reprimand Wenjing, but he just wanted to tell her not to embarrass Xiao Ru, after all, she is Jiu Niang's sister and a poor person.

What went wrong?

Wang Shilang was in a trance for a while, and he didn't even dare to face Jiu Niang's sharp eyes and the miserable white face in her arms......

"Brother Shiro—"

A soft female voice sounded behind Wang Shilang, with eagerness and a bit of timidity in her voice. Xiao Ru hurriedly walked in and pulled Wang Shilang's sleeve: "Brother Shilang, why are you really here?" I said I wasn't wronged, Wenjing definitely didn't mean it, she was quick and grumpy, I didn't blame her......"

"Get out!"

A pair of chopsticks smashed over, but it was Cheng Wenjing's face distorted and she grabbed something casually and threw it over, seeing her angry appearance, she seemed to want to take the plates and bowls on the table and smash it over, but was stopped by the anxious Ruan Ling'er.

Wang Shilang originally thought that there was no misunderstanding in it, but now there is no misunderstanding, Cheng Wenjing is really spoiled, and she has become like this.

"Okay, Cheng Wenjing, you can do it, let's go!"

Wang Shilang looked angry and was about to leave with his sleeves up, but was stopped by Xiao Ru.

Xiao Ru looked in a hurry, "Brother Shiro, there must be some misunderstanding during this time, Wenjing, she didn't mean it, let's explain ......"

"Are you leaving?"

Xiao Ru had to be dragged away by Wang Shilang.

There was silence in the private room, Jiuniang took a deep breath, walked to the door and closed the door. At this moment, many students who were also eating on the third floor heard the movement and came out to watch the excitement.

Ruan Ling'er was also very angry, "Why is this person like this!" ”

She also saw that the reason why this qiē happened was because Xiao Ru instigated it. But Wang Shilang is not without responsibility, he would rather believe the words of others than believe Cheng Wenjing, and he didn't even give her a chance to explain, which is what makes it difficult to accept.

Jiuniang sighed and sat Cheng Wenjing down.

Cheng Wenjing, who was originally stunned on the spot, threw herself into Jiu Niang's arms and cried again after a sharp pant.

Cheng Wenjing cried for a long time, and when she finally stopped, Jiu Niang asked out loud, "What are you going to do?" It is already obvious that he would rather believe in others than in you, and he ...... to you"

The rest of the words were interrupted by Ruan Ling'er's action of dragging her: "Jiu Niang, don't say any more, Wenjing makes her uncomfortable." ”

"I know she's uncomfortable, but a long pain is better than a short pain, and Wenjing isn't worth wasting time with such a person."

The truth is true, but can Wenjing think about it?

Looking at Cheng Wenjing, who was pale, Ruan Ling'er couldn't help but sigh.

*

Cheng Wenjing did not come to Guozi Prison for many days.

Jiu Niang thought to herself, this is fine, on the cusp of this limelight, Wenjing staying at home is much cleaner than studying.

After the incident on the third floor of the canteen that day, it unexpectedly set off a wave in the school. Now everyone knows that Wang Shilang has a favorite woman, and he broke up with his cousin for this.

Cheng Wenjing has caused countless jokes, and at the same time, Xiao Ru reappeared in everyone's eyes, not mentioning the truth of the matter, Wang Shilang did not deny it, and even saw him and Xiao Ru in and out of school more than once. After a long time, everyone only thinks that these two people are really interested in each other.

There are those who secretly ridicule, and there are also those who say cool things, and it is more of a kind of envy. You must know that there are many young talents in Chang'an City, Wang Shilang can be regarded as one of the best, there are many noble women in the country, and there are many interested in Wang Shilang, this time there is a roadblock □□, if it is Cheng Wenjing, everyone knows the relationship between Wang Cheng and the two families, but it is not good to question more. This Xiao Ru is something, so it has aroused countless hostilities, but with Xiao Ru's methods, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and it did not bring too much trouble to her.

This matter was naturally known to everyone in the Xiao family, and the Duchess of An Guo was unclear on the surface, but she turned her head and moved Xiao Ru out of Chongyue Pavilion and arranged a courtyard for her to live in. Although Xiao Ru is still a little unjustifiable now, his treatment is not comparable to the past.

The county lord of Chaoxia was not angry and blocked it, but the Duchess of Anguo came forward to suppress it, and she didn't dare to say anything more. After all, now that the crown princess has not been pregnant, Emperor Chengyuan has a lot of opinions about her, which is not a secret, and there is a divorce of his wife pressing her, and the lord of Chaoxia does not dare to be too presumptuous.

Xiao is now different from the past, and he is in the limelight in the Anguo Mansion for a while. After many years, she finally had the color of turning over, others thought that Jiu Niang would have some movements, after all, the disagreement between the two sisters is well known, which Cheng thinks she is calm, it seems that this qiē has nothing to do with her.

It's June, and it's getting hot.

The old lady of the Wang family celebrated her birthday on the eighth day of the sixth month, although it was not a full birthday, but because Mrs. Wang had this relationship with the lord of Chaoxia, the lord of Chaoxia must also go to celebrate her birthday on the same day.

According to the past practice, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Jiu Niang and the others, although the county lord of Chaoxia is the nominal mother-in-law of her and Shi Niang, she has never expressed her intention to take the two of them to attend any scene. I don't know which tendon was twitched this time, so I actually proposed to bring Jiu Niang and Shi Niang and Xiao Ru together.

Duchess An Guo showed a satisfied face, but she thought that this daughter-in-law had changed.

After many years, the Duchess of Anguo finally suppressed the arrogance of this daughter-in-law for more than a year, although she still has a sense of disgust for her, but the lord of Chaoxia County can be obedient and obedient, and bring certain benefits to the family, and the Duchess of Anguo is also happy to see it.

Rumors about Xiao Ru and Wang Shilang spread before, and the Duchess of An Guo moved Xiao Ru out of Chongyue Pavilion, and the county lord of Chaoxia protested. During this period, Duchess Anguo was both soft and hard, and she talked about the divorce of her wife, and vaguely mentioned that if the Wang family and the Xiao family could marry, it would also be helpful for Liulang's future. In the end, the county lord of Chaoxia did not object again, so Duchess An Guo only took her actions as if she listened to her own words.

If it is not appropriate to take Xiao Ru alone, but if there are a few Jiu Niang to cover, it is natural.

"Then Lao Zhaoxia, you have to worry more about a few children, Jiuniang and Shiniang have always gone out less, and it is good to go out more and see people this time. Later, I will send a few more sets of clothes and jewelry to a few children, especially Ru'er, I see that she is dressed plain and plain during the day, and it is not good to go out to that kind of occasion too plainly. ”

Duchess An Guo's words about nine mothers and ten mothers are actually secondary, mainly Xiao Ru. Xiao Ru just opened the hospital and lived alone, especially the name is not right, and the daily routine is not as good as Jiuniang and others, and she has been harshly criticized by the county lord of Chaoxia before, and there are only two clothes that can be seen every day, and they are all picked up by Xiao Liuniang. Duchess An Guo knew about this and wanted to buy some for her, but it was not good to cross the nine mothers and ten mothers, so they stayed together.

Therefore, Xiao Jiuniang and Xiao Siniang are actually stained with Xiao Ru's light, I don't know what Xiao Siniang thinks, but Jiuniang is not rare. Her treatment in the Anguo Mansion has always been the head of all sisters, comparable to the examples of several elders, not to mention that she has food, the 100,000 yuan sent by the King of Guangchu is enough for her to eat, drink, and live without worry.

Hearing Duchess An Guo say this, Xiao Ruzi was overjoyed.

After two lives, she finally survived with her own strength in this life, although it can't be compared with the previous life, but in the end, this qiē is earned by herself, not Xiao Jiuniang's charity.

She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jiuniang proudly, but unfortunately Jiuniang didn't notice her eyes.

*

On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Xiao Jiuniang dressed up and went out with the county lord of Chaoxia for several days.

The group took four carriages and headed to the palace in Yongning Fang.

The Wang family is worthy of being one of the top families, and the Wang family's mansion occupies almost half of the area of Yongning Fang, and it is very magnificent. When the county lord of Chaoxia and his party arrived, it seemed that many people had already come, and many carriages were parked in front of the door.

Although Mrs. Wang is not a full birthday, she also said that she will not do much, but the status of the Wang family is here, and there is just a princess in the family, so naturally there are people from the wealthy families in Chang'an City who have come to congratulate her birthday.

This birthday banquet was organized by Mrs. Wang, the wife of the Wang family, and the lord of Chaoxia was not an outsider, and he came to the palace many days ago, so he led a few daughters into the palace with a light car.

The carved beams and paintings in the palace are extremely rich, and Jiuniang is very familiar with this place, so after stepping into the palace, it is inevitable that there is a little trance.

The group was first taken to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and when they arrived, they found that there were many people present. Mrs. Wang was full of white hair, dressed in a jujube red embroidered Wufu longevity brocade dress, and sat on the first gum. She has white hair, a very kind face, and a smile on her face, which shows that she is also very happy today.

The lord of Chaoxia County gave a congratulatory message and presented a birthday gift, and Jiuniang and several people also stepped forward to meet Mrs. Wang one by one. Because most of the people sitting here are elders, Jiu Niang and a few people were led by their subordinates to other courtyards to rest for the time being, waiting for the birthday banquet to begin.

Most of the banquets held by wealthy families are like this, one for men, one for women, and unmarried ladies of Jiu Niang's age are also entertained.

Today, who is responsible for entertaining all the little ladies is the queen of the third room of the Wang family, Jiuniang, she was born with a small round face, red phoenix eyes, although she is not very outstanding, but she treats people kindly, making people feel like a spring breeze. After Jiu Niang and the others arrived, she greeted her, brought a group of people in, and introduced the other nobles present.

Chang'an City is so big, there are only dozens of noble girls who can count the fame, although Jiuniang usually rarely shows her face in front of outsiders, but because of her identity as the county lord and the reason why she studied in the country, she was also known to all the nobles, so she was also one of the nobles who could be counted.

Although everyone was not very familiar with her, after Wang Jiuniang introduced her, several noble girls rushed up to talk to her. Xiao Liuniang had her own playmates, and they were also taken away, but Xiao Siniang and Xiao Ru, because they were not known to outsiders, they were left behind and no one cared about.

Xiao Shi Niang is used to being silent, so she found a place to sit down, but she was calm. Xiao Ru was a little anxious, she had just come out, and she wanted to enter the gate of the Wang family in the future, so she naturally wanted to make more playmates at this time, which could be regarded as accumulating resources for herself.

It's a pity that some days don't follow people's wishes, when Wang Jiuniang introduced her, because she was not ranked, and some names were not right, she only vaguely mentioned a sentence behind Shi Niang. But the nobles in Chang'an City are not stupid, the rules of each household are almost the same, the male heirs have the ranking of male heirs, and the daughters of each family also have rankings, and the status of the family without the ranking can be imagined.

You must know that in the current social hierarchical environment, concubines or concubines have no status, and the master above recognizes you, you can still put on a name, if you don't admit it, the status is not much higher than that of a slave. Especially seeing Xiao Ru dressed in a brand-new dress, it looked like a newly made dress, coupled with the pearls she wore for fear of being looked down upon, the noble ladies present all had a bit of mockery in their eyes.

How can a noble girl who is a serious woman be so clear about her identity, who doesn't try to keep a low profile and not make herself appear too public. Noble is not put out, but comes with its own heritage, and the gold and silver jewelry on her body is not worth a simple white jade hairpin or a jade bracelet on her head, those who understand it naturally understand, and it is normal for people who don't understand to provoke ridicule.

Jiuniang had been in this kind of situation in her previous life, and she was in a similar mood to Xiao Ru at that time, for fear that others would look down on her, and she couldn't wait to wear all the good things she had, but unfortunately it didn't make people look at her differently, but it caused ridicule. Later, she understood, and gradually changed her style, but her reputation was already bad at that time, and even if she changed her style, no one looked down on her.

"Jiu Niang, your bracelet is really full of water, emerald green, and your hands are so white." A little lady said with admiration, talking about the jasper bracelet on Jiu Niang's wrist.

This bracelet is green as a whole, the color is pure and transparent, just like a lake, green and green, at a glance you know that it is the best in jade.

Jiu Niang had a decent smile on her face, and she was silent with a smile.

Sitting in one place, most of the daughter's house is talking about jewelry, clothes, rouge and gouache, although she doesn't like this kind of occasion, but she still understands the demeanor she should maintain.

"It's beautiful."

"It's really good, I'm afraid it's worth a lot."

Several little ladies came over, saying that the bracelet was fake, and it was true that they wanted to make friends with Jiuniang.

"I don't know very much about that." Jiuniang said implicitly.

She really didn't know that with an identity like hers, most jewelry was brought to her when the family issued a case, or it was given by the elders. When she was given the position of county lord, there were also a lot of gold, silver and jewelry that came with the holy decree, and this bracelet was one of them.

There are many of these jewelry, naturally they will not care about the value, sometimes thinking of some experiences in the previous life, Jiu Niang will inevitably sigh, people's lives are not satisfied. For some, it is impossible to ask for anything, but for others, it is easy to get. Her two lives are completely a contrast between two extremes.

"Jiu Niang was born well, just dress up, and she will surpass me and others. It's tacky to be like those people who want to bring all their gold and silver jewelry. ”

This speaker is also an acquaintance, named Li Chuer, whose father is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. She is also a student of Guozi Jian Tai Academy, and once talked to Jiu Niang. Li Chuer wanted to make friends with Jiu Niang more than once, but unfortunately Jiu Niang has always been a cold person outside, so the two have always maintained their face-to-face affection, and they can say a few words when they meet in school, but they are not close.

Li Chu'er is from Tai Academy, so she naturally understands the details of this Xiao Ru, and also knows that Xiao Jiuniang is not on good terms with her, so she naturally does not hesitate to praise the high and the low at this time. As soon as she said this, the few little ladies next to her immediately knew who she was talking about, and they all covered their mouths and chuckled or whispered in a low voice.

Xiao Ru sat alone in one place, feeling a little like sitting on pins and needles, although all kinds of strange eyes and mockery, although they were all secret, but she always felt that she was talking about herself, which made her angry and annoyed, but she could only sit with red eyes. At this time, seeing that Xiao Jiuniang and the others were looking and laughing at her here, they were even more annoyed and angry, and blamed all the blame on Jiuniang.

She really can't see her well!

In her previous life, she was in and out of various wealthy families, but she never took the initiative to take her out, so that she was obviously the daughter of the Xiao family, but she was not as good as a concubine in the house.

How did Xiao Ru know that Xiao Jiuniang didn't take her out for no other reason, but out of a protective mentality, after all, even Jiuniang herself was struggling outside, and where was the sister she was willing to protect also suffered from these. So sometimes the mentality is crooked, and the thoughts are involuntarily crooked, and a person who is crooked from the root, where can he come back.

As time passed, more and more nobles appeared. Seeing this, Wang Jiuniang beckoned everyone to go to the garden to play, after all, it was still early to leave the banquet.

Everyone walked hand in hand, laughing and chatting along the way, and against this sunny May day, it was a very beautiful scenery.

Wang's garden covers a wide area, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, the courtyard is full of strange flowers and plants, rockery and flowing water, the courtyard building, the green lake curved bridge, and there is a huge pavilion water pavilion leaning on the lakeside, looking at a lake from afar, the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Seeing a few small boats docked by the lake, a noble girl went to the lake to swim and pick lotus flowers, which won the approval of many people. Wang Jiuniang hurriedly ordered to go down and let the next person arrange the lake tour.

After a short time, the group divided into three small boats and entered the lake.

This lake of the Wang family covers a wide area, planted a large area of lotus, at this time it is the season when the lotus is in full bloom, the boat enters the waterway between the lotus, in addition to the lotus flowers of various colors, it is the jade-like lotus leaves, and the scenery is pleasant.

Where can the nobles pay attention to the etiquette at this time, they are not very old, and they all stretched out their hands to pick lotus flowers. This one picks a budding lotus flower, and that pulls a leaf like a jade plate, but it is a pity that there is no lotus pod at this time, otherwise the lotus pod is also picked.

Jiu Niang stood on the side of the boat, and also reached out to touch the lotus leaf that was close at hand.

Yao remembers that back then, when she and Wang Shilang had a strong relationship, they also came here to go boating and swimming in the lake, but now they are things and people, as if they are separated from each other.

Suddenly, Jiu Niang felt that she was slammed from behind, and suddenly she fell out unsteadily.

"Ninth Sister—"

When the world was turned upside down, Jiuniang only heard an uproar and Xiao Shi Niang's hasty shouts.
