Chapter 266: Let It Can't Hurt You (Pink 420+)
Xiao Jinglin's words made Ren Yaochi laugh, she really didn't expect that someone like Xiao Jingxi would say such a thing.
However, if a person can do what he has to do without being burdened by fame, if he doesn't care, he has the strength to not be afraid of any opposition.
People like Xiao Jingxi should be the second type.
I have to say, this is quite enviable.
After Xiao Jingxi came back, he invited Ren Yaoqi to play against him, and only played one game for more than an hour, this time it was not a draw, Xiao Jingxi won.
Xiao Jingxi said with a smile while picking up the chess pieces: "You played this game in a proper manner." ”
Xiao Jingxi's words reminded Ren Yaoqi of the first time the two played against each other, and he racked his brains and tried all kinds of means not to lose, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile.
Xiao Jinglin pulled the stupid girl's ears and yawned on the side: "You play two games of chess every day, this day has passed, and the years are really quiet." ”
Forgive Lord Xiao, who "doesn't learn and has no skills", when he said this, he was really just casual and had other meanings, but why did he feel a little strange in the ears of the two people who were playing chess?
Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi glanced at each other, and then they both lowered their heads and picked up the chess pieces and stopped talking. Xiao Jinglin and the little tiger silly girl looked at this and that, and the innocence on that face was the same.
Ren Yao saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, and then remembered that he still had something serious to say, so he asked Xiao Jingxi: "Young Master Xiao, do you have any impression of Fang Yacun?" ”
Xiao Jingxi thought for a while: "I remember that not long ago, there was this person in a group of candidate officials in Yanbei, Fang Yacun...... He seems to have something to do with your Ren family? Xiao Jingxi has always been unforgettable, and he has roughly seen the backgrounds of those officials.
Ren Yaochi nodded and said in a deep voice: "His mother-in-law and my grandmother are sisters, and his sister is my father's concubine. A while ago, because of some unpleasant things that happened at home, I was reminded of Fang Yacun, and there were some things I couldn't figure out. I want to ask Xiao Gongzi to solve my doubts. ”
Due to the reasons of the Han family, Xiao Jingxi, who should know the Tao and should not know the Tao of the Ren family, has already known a lot of the Tao of the Lu Dao, and the jar is broken, and Ren Yaoqi is not afraid of exposing his family ugliness in front of him.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile and motioned for her to continue.
Ren Yaochi frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the foundation of the Fang family is in Jiangnan, although Fang Yacun is only a Chu State from Liupinzhou, he is highly valued by his boss, and his wife's maiden family is also in Jiangnan, and the family is rich. Reasonable. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in Gangnam? However, both Fang Yacun himself and his wife seem to be keen to come to Yanbei. I heard that the newly appointed officials in Yanbei this time are not higher than the sixth grade in terms of rank. Xiao Gongzi, are you familiar with the affairs of Chuzhou? ”
Xiao Jingxi gently tapped the chessboard with his fingers slightly and thought for a moment: "I haven't heard of Fang Yacun before, so there shouldn't be any big background. However, I remember that the current governor of Chuzhou, named Feng Fu, has mediocre qualifications, and he was almost fifty years old before he achieved the position of the head of a continent, but he was not promoted by political achievements, do you know what is the reason for the Dao? ”
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled slightly.
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious when she heard this: "Oh? Is it by nepotism of in-laws? ”
Xiao Jingxi shook his head with a smile: "It is indeed nepotism." But not in-laws. He recognized a eunuch who was a teenager younger than him as his father-in-law, and passed his youngest son to this eunuch to inherit the incense. ”
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she didn't know how to have a bad premonition in her heart, and rubbed the chess pieces in her hand and asked, "I don't know which eunuch he recognizes." ”
Xiao Jingxi said: "This father-in-law's surname is Lu. It is the person next to Empress Dowager Yan. ”
Ren Yaoqi's hand shook, and the chess pieces in her hand slipped from her fingertips and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and her face turned white. looked up at Xiao Jingxi in disbelief: "Who?" ”
Xiao Jingxi was a little stunned, not understanding why Ren Yaochi suddenly lost his temper, he softened his voice and said softly: "It's Gonggong Lu beside Empress Dowager Yan." This person has been serving by the Queen Mother's side for more than ten years at the age of 30, and he is very popular with the Queen Mother. But...... It's just a eunuch. ”
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think of the events of the previous life, and his body trembled a little.
There were some things she tried so hard to forget, and she never bothered to think about them, but hearing the name still made her not calm down.
Back then, she was very frightened after being sent by the Ren family to Grandpa Lu, because she served Grandpa Lu's subordinates to secretly discuss, although Grandpa Lu was a rootless person, he liked to torture women with all kinds of inferior means, and the subordinates had seen the miserable body of a little maid carried out of his yard.
The mother-in-law who was sent over to serve her comforted her and said that she was born in a big family and was given to Father-in-law Lu as his wife, so Father-in-law Lu should not treat her in that way.
The first time she saw Gonggong Lu was on the night of the third day of being sent over, that day she went to bed early, but when she was half-asleep, she felt that someone was touching her face, she was so frightened that she woke up, and then she saw a middle-aged man with a white face sitting at the head of her bed, the man exuded a bad smell of alcohol, and looked at her with a very strange gaze, which made her can't help but do evil.
She screamed in fright, but was thrown to the bed by the man, who began to tear her clothes despite her struggles, and grabbed her neck with one hand.
Ren Yaochi was so desperate that she wanted to die, but she knew that she actually wanted to live, because when the man lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, she opened her mouth and bit his ear, and was slapped by him and fainted.
When she woke up again, she learned from the mother-in-law who took care of her that the person was Father-in-law Lu.
Fortunately, Father-in-law Lu hurt his ear at that time, and he woke up most of the time, and he had no interest in torturing her, so he went down to see the injury first, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that her innocence had been preserved.
But this breath didn't last long, and on the second day, Grandpa Lu, who had gauze wrapped in his ears, came again, this time he also took a strange whip more than a foot long in his hand, and pumped it at her without saying a word.
That time, she was beaten to the point that she was bruised, and she only had one breath left, and she recuperated in bed for half a month.
From then on, he would whip her every time she healed, but he wouldn't hit her in the face.
She remembered that he twisted his face and said to her, "Aren't you a chaste martyr?" I'm going to see how long you can be chaste! There will come a time when you can't help but beg Lao Tzu to get into your bed! ”
She scolded "dreaming" in her heart, and then she didn't say a word and endured it silently. She thought that she would eventually die under the whip of Father-in-law Lu in her life, but she survived the last time, and met Pei Zhiqian, who was willing to save her from the fire pit.
That period of the past was a nightmare for Ren Yaoqi, and when he heard the three words of Gonggong Lu, this nightmare was triggered from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin both sensed that something was wrong with Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, bent down to pick up the chess piece that fell at his feet, rubbed it between his fingers for a moment, and then leaned over and put the chess piece in Ren Yaoqi's palm.
The touch of the slightly cool chess pieces with Xiao Jingxi's body temperature falling in the palm of her hand brought Ren Yaochi back to her senses, she looked down at the white piece in the palm of her hand, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xiao Jingxi looked at her and smiled softly: "Look, the chess pieces have been broken out. ”
Ren Yaochi reacted and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'll give you a pair. "Although she gave him back definitely not as good as this one.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head with a smile, and took the chess pieces away from Ren Yaoqi's hand again: "I like objects with stories, because having stories makes them unique." You played chess with me today, and then broke one of my chess pieces, so this ordinary chess piece has become a story. ”
Ren Yaochi was amused by his statement, and even the negative emotions that had arisen before because of the thought of Gonggong Lu had subsided a lot, and she smiled: "Then I'll drop a few more pieces to make it have more stories?" ”
Xiao Jingxi smiled at her when she heard this: "This can't be done, since it's a story, it's not deliberate." Besides, you won't be able to make another rift of the same kind. ”
He looked at her with a gentle and bright gaze: "I just wanted to tell you that the rift that has been created on the chess piece cannot be removed, but it is precisely because of this rift that it can become unique now, why not look at the damage as a story that has already happened?" After all, no matter how much you drop it, you can't fall exactly the same trace. If you look down on it, it won't hurt you. ”
If you look down on it, it won't hurt you.
Because of Xiao Jingxi's words and his gentle eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Ren Yaochi was a little stunned.
After a while, Ren Yaoqi slowly raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Jingxi and said seriously: "Xie Lu, thank you." ”
She said this thank you very sincerely, because she was really grateful.
It seems that every time Xiao Jingxi can always lead her out of her own magic with a sentence or two.
Ren Yaochi couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingxi twice, and the ink-colored clothes set off his appearance like jade, which was pleasing to the eye. Such a handsome and unparalleled man can always make Ren Yaochi forget that he is now just a teenager who is not a few years older than her current age.
Xiao Jingxi saw Ren Yaoqi staring at him without saying a word, and wanted to pick up the tea bowl to hide his helplessness in not wanting to admit it, but he didn't want to do it.
Xiao Jinglin took Xiao Jingxi's cup away, then got up and handed it to the red tassel waiting on the side: "Go and change to a bowl of hot one." ”
Xiao Jingxi: "......"
