Chapter 180: Blocking the Road
There are many famous women in this world, who are famous either for their beauty or for their talents, or for many fortuitous reasons. Ren Yaoqi's "hairpin lady" Liu Suyi is one of them.
Liu Suyi was originally just an ordinary boudoir woman, whose function was to teach her husband and children and manage the inner courtyard. Her father is Liu Xian, the head of the household department, and he is married to the grandson of an old imperial history.
One day, Lao Yushi was dismissed and his house was raided because he was implicated in an examination room fraud case, and Liu Suyi followed her husband's family to get into a bad crime. Originally, Liu Suyi could take her husband to seek help from her mother's family, but her biological mother had died, and her father remarried. This sentence is correct many times, and Liu Suyi has a deep experience.
In the end, Liu Suyi could only follow the arrogant Yushi Gongzi to rent a dilapidated yard in the old alleys of Kyoto and live in poverty. However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the prince of Yushi fell ill after suffering a series of blows, and the husband and wife had no money to spare, and they didn't even have money to see a doctor.
Seeing that his father-in-law was about to get sick, he wanted to die. I don't want to, but there is a turnaround.
It turned out that Liu Su began to practice calligraphy at the age of three, and he had no other talents, except for copying the hairpin flower Xiaokai of Mrs. Li in the previous dynasty. Originally, this was just a hobby to pass the time, and I didn't want to be seen by the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper of a calligraphy and painting shop next door when she copied the words, thinking that the words were the real handwriting of Mrs. Li, and after learning that it was a fake, she proposed to let Liu Suyi put the calligraphy and paintings in his own shop and sell them on consignment to earn some silver to subsidize the family.
Originally, Liu Suyi would never be willing, after all, she was a woman who exposed her handwriting and was known by someone who knew that her reputation would inevitably be tarnished, but seeing that her husband was even sick, she had to bend her waist for five buckets of rice and put her words in the calligraphy and painting shop for consignment.
I don't think it will be a few days later, someone will really come to buy it, and bid a hundred taels of gold.
The word was bought at a high price, and the life of the family was improved. Liu Suyi's husband was also cured. It happened that soon after, Lao Yushi's case was rehabilitated, and the confiscated family property was returned. Yushi Gongzi remembered that his wife still had a pair of characters left out, so he thought about buying them back.
I don't know if the last word has come back, but Liu Suyi's reputation as a talented woman has spread. It just so happened that Empress Dowager Yan, who had just entered the harem not long ago, didn't know why Lu Dao was willing to support Liu Suyi, and gave her the title of "Mrs. Hairpin Flower", so Liu Suyi's reputation spread.
Speaking of which, although Liu Suyi's maiden family is not too prominent, it has attracted the attention of the world because of a talented woman praised by the Queen Mother. As for Fang Yacun's wife, Liu, if you calculate it carefully, she really has some kinship with Liu, but the blood relationship is too far away, and she can barely say that she was a family more than one or two hundred years ago.
But Ren Yaochi pointed out this "hairpin lady" at this time, which naturally had her intentions.
The Queen Mother was willing to praise this talented girl of the Liu family. That's because the Liu family is the queen mother's line, and even the old imperial history was a victim of the fighting between Wan Guifei and the Empress Dowager Yan.
Now the relationship between Beijing and Yanbei seems to be very stable, but in fact, it is in a delicate state of balance. The Yanbei Royal Mansion would not like the emperor or the queen mother to intervene in it. Therefore, Ren Yaoqi deliberately let the Liu family have a relationship with the Liu family in the capital.
Ren Yaoqi was not afraid that Princess Yanbei would find out what would debunk her, and the Liu family and the Liu family in the capital were just the same surname. But in these years, climbing relatives and relatives, relatives are all climbing up, the relationship between the Liu family and the Liu family is too obvious, and she doesn't dare to come to Yanbei, but people can climb if they want to.
It's not a clever idea, but a simple one doesn't necessarily mean it's useless.
Ren Yaochi smiled: "It turns out that the princess has also heard of this lady?" I only found out the last time I heard Mrs. Fang say a few words in front of my grandmother. ”
Princess Yanbei smiled thoughtfully. Bow your head and drink tea.
Ren Yao accepted it when he saw it, and no longer mentioned Mrs. Fang's matter, but continued to talk to Xiao Jinglin about playing the piano.
After sitting for a while, Ren Yaochi got up and said goodbye.
Xiao Jinglin discussed with Ren Yaoqi the time to pick her up tomorrow. then explained to the princess and personally sent her out.
Because when he came, it was the carriage of Yanbei Wangfu who picked him up, but Ren Shijia was careful, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Ren Yaoqi to go back, so after Ren Yaoqi left, he sent a carriage from the mansion to follow and wait for someone. Ren Yaochi got into his own carriage.
When the carriage stopped halfway, Ren Yaochi felt a little strange.
She glanced at Apple, who was about to lift the curtain to take a look. But I heard a quiet and warm voice outside: "It's Miss Ren Wu sitting in the car?" ”
Ren Yaoqi frowned when he heard this, and the apple that he opened the curtain and glanced at had already quickly reported: "Miss, it's Han Gongzi." ”
Without Apple's reminder, Ren Yaoqi had already recognized Han Yunqian's voice.
Han Yunqian stood alone in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the carriage.
Ren Yaochi didn't speak, and Parsley on the side replied very smartly: "It's my young lady's frame." I'm sorry Han Gongzi, I'm in your way. ”
As the chief maid by Ren Yaohua's side, the girl Xiangqin has never been easy to bully. After saying this, Xiangqin also glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and saw Ren Yaoqi sitting there with a cold expression without the meaning of talking, so she had some bottom in her heart, and directly instructed the mother-in-law who was driving the car outside: "Don't let the car go first, don't get in the way of Han Gongzi." ”
The mother-in-law who drove the car was very innocent, no matter how good her skills were, this road was only so wide. And even if she gets out of the way, and the other people's horses don't move, she can't do anything! So I can only look at the son who suddenly appeared to block the way.
Han Yunqian looked at the carriage in front of him, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't see any emotion on his warm face.
However, the two sides did not stalemate for long, Han Yunqian tightened the reins in his hand, controlled the horse that sat down, and let half of the road come out.
The carriage moved slowly again, but Han Yunqian did not leave, but turned the horse's head and followed the carriage. This did not attract the attention of others, and many carriages were accompanied by male relatives or guards on horseback when they traveled.
"I have a few words I want to say to Miss Five." Han Yunqian's voice sounded next to the curtain of the car, not loud, but it was enough for Ren Yaoqi to hear clearly.
Ren Yaochi still didn't answer.
Han Yunqian waited for a moment, and saw that there was no sound before he said, "I wonder if the lost mother-in-law next to Miss Lu Dao has been found?" ”
For Han Yunqian's appearance, Ren Yaoqi was actually prepared, but she felt a little tired for what she didn't know, so she didn't answer because she deliberately ignored him because of her prejudice against Han Yunqian, but because she didn't know what she had to say to Han Yunqian.
One side is back for revenge, and the other side is inexplicably implicated. It's impossible for anyone to see who is pleasing to the eye, so why don't you take a detour if you don't see it, and you can't see it?
"Han Gongzi is well-informed, thank you for worrying. I've been at my aunt's house in Yunyang City, and I don't know what happened at home. Ren Yaochi said lightly.
Han Yunqian didn't get angry when he heard this: "I didn't have any other intention when I came to you, I just think that Fifth Miss is extremely smart, which is really admirable." After a pause, he said, "It's just that no matter how smart Miss Fifth is, she is only a woman after all, and many things are not taken for granted." Han hoped that Miss Five would think twice before doing anything. ”
Ren Yaoqi smiled, but his expression was indifferent: "Is Han Gongzi warning me something?" ”
An imperceptible sigh overflowed from Han Yunqian's mouth, so light that people could ignore it: "Han didn't mean it. ”
Ren Yaochi closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car to recuperate, refusing to talk again.
Seeing this, Parsley shouted outside, "What's the matter? Why is it so slow? Why don't you hurry up! We're still in a carriage, and I'm afraid that people can follow us on a horse's ride. ”
Xiangqin originally said this, but after speaking, she found that she had a speech problem in her words, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. In fact, she really didn't mean enough to dare to scold other people's sons and brothers in person!
However, the mother-in-law who was driving the carriage outside was so frightened by her that she couldn't speak, and her whip was fierce, and the speed of the carriage increased in vain.
Han Yunqian didn't speed up the horse, and quietly watched Ren Yaoqi's carriage go away, bringing up a cloud of dust. He stood there for a long time before turning his horse's head and leaving.
As soon as Han Yunqian returned to the Han family's courtyard in Yunyang City, he was called to the study by Old Man Han.
As soon as Han Dongshan saw his grandson, his brows furrowed: "What have you been busy with lately?" When I came to Yunyang City, I couldn't find anyone! ”
Han Yunqian paused, bowed his head and said, "Visit a few classmates and friends." Does the grandfather have anything to tell his grandson? ”
Han Dongshan's scrutinizing gaze did not leave Han Yunqian, Han Yunqian's face did not change, and he looked like he was humbly listening to the lecture as usual.
After half a ring, Han Dongshan looked away: "I heard that you have been looking for someone recently?" ”
The people Han Yunqian sent to find Luo Pozi were all his own henchmen, but why did the news of his finding someone be known by Han Dongshan, he didn't show the slightest surprise, he just lowered his head and replied: "My friend asked me for a favor, it's just a trivial matter, grandfather doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Han Dongshan looked at his grandson for a moment, and then said softly: "I don't care about you for those little things." It's just that you are also a descendant of my Zhai family, and many things still need to be paid more attention to, and you must distinguish between priorities and priorities. ”
Han Yunqian replied in a low voice.
"Things seem to be going wrong lately." Han Dongshan turned around and sat back in his chair, stretched out his finger and pinched his eyebrows, "It seems that there is some force against our Han family in the dark." ”
Han Yunqian was silent for a moment: "Presumably the Lei family is alert. ”
Han Dongshan thought for a while and sneered: "Maybe, this thunder is young, but he still has some skills." (To be continued......)
