Chapter 167: Refusal
However, Miss Chu still has a faint charm on her body, and when Miss Chu stepped forward to greet her, Yan Ran found it with sharp eyes, but Yan Ran didn't say anything, just stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Chu should have come to visit and thank you earlier." It's just that you can't post it, and you don't dare to come easily. ”
"Grandma Rong San doesn't think my post has insulted you, and she is willing to take care of it personally, which is already an unexpected joy, how dare you have other thoughts?" Miss Chu invited Yanran in, and when she entered the hall, Yanran glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's really quiet." This painting seems to be the handiwork of Mr. Jiang Shizhi in the inner court. ”
What Yan Ran pointed to was a pair of plum blossoms hanging under the moon on it. Miss Chu was taking the tea from the maid's hand, and when she heard Yanran's words, she smiled and said, "If the third grandmother is really well-informed, this pair is indeed Mr. Jiang's handwriting." ”
Yanran took the tea and sat down before saying: "Mr. Jiang learned to paint, studied under Mr. Ren Songqin, there was a screen in the old lady's room, and the painting was plum blossoms, so I could see it at a glance." ”
Miss Chu smiled: "This has to be a person with a heart, and if she doesn't have a heart, even if it hangs in front of her every day, she can't see it." Yan Ran smiled slightly: "That's right." But Miss Chu invited me to come today, I don't think there is a shortage of people to talk about painting, right? ”
"Naturally not, it's just that on that day, Sanye Rong came to me and promised me one thing, I thought, Grandma Rongsan, you are always the one who feeds the Lord, and this matter must be done with your nod." Miss Chu's words made Yanran smile again: "I don't know what I promised?" ”
"Chunjuan, go and invite my sister out." Miss Chu gave instructions to Chunjuan before she smiled and said to Yanran: "Third Master Rong promised that day to take my sister as a concubine." Today, it's time for my sister to come out to meet her and correct her reputation. ”
"Miss Chunjuan, please come back." As soon as Miss Chu's words were finished, Yanran called Chunjuan, Chunjuan looked at Miss Chu, and when she saw Miss Chu nodding to herself, she also stood by the door, waiting for the next order.
"What does Grandma Rong San mean by this? Although my sister said that she was stained with such a word, she is also an innocent daughter's family, and she wants to be the concubine of the Rong family, and it is not an insult to the Rong family. Miss Chu's words made Yan Ran smile: "No, I just think that this matter is not appropriate for him." And, with all due respect, it doesn't look like he's going to do it. ”
"Wrong? I know that some men always ask their wives first if they want to take a concubine, in this case, it is indeed inappropriate for the third master. Miss Chu was almost pressing step by step, but Yan Ran was still so calm: "Miss Chu, what I said is inappropriate, he shouldn't have taken your sister as a concubine." You must know, Miss Chu, you once saved your family from fire and water, how could the pawnshop matter that day be easily solved if it weren't for Miss Chu. Miss Chu has a great kindness to my Rong family, and the Yu Rong family is a benefactor, the sister of the benefactor, if she is a concubine, it is not possible. Therefore I said, "My husband, I will not do this." ”
Miss Chu looked at Yan Ran and suddenly smiled: "Grandma Rong's words really don't let you shave your eyebrows, but unfortunately, Rong Sanye really responded." Yan Ran also smiled, and there was something in her smile that Miss Chu couldn't understand: "He really responded, that is, he forced me to go down to the court and beg for it." ”
This turned too fast, even if it was Miss Chu, she couldn't help but change color: "Why did Grandma Rong say this?" ”
"The sister of the benefactor can repay the kindness without humiliation. To accept as a concubine is to insult the benefactor. I am his wife, he doesn't understand this truth, and if he agrees to this matter, it will be an insult to you, Miss Chu. In order to make up for it, I can only go down to the court and beg to beg to beg for it, please make my sister right, this is called repaying the favor. ”
Yan Ran's words were something that Miss Chu hadn't thought about, she looked at Yan Ran and was already speechless in shock. Yan Ran has already said: "I know that there are many frivolous people in this world, thinking that repaying the favor is to accept others as concubines. It's a pity that they don't understand that a concubine, but a daughter, lives under his wife all her life, and if she wants to repay her kindness, how can she humiliate him. Therefore, if my husband really promised Miss Chu to let my sister enter Rong's house, then I can only go down to the court and ask my sister to be in her position, so as to repay the favor. ”
Yan Ran's voice was not loud, and she didn't talk much, but this short passage was the most shocking thing that Miss Chu had heard so far. After a long while, Miss Chu sighed: "Sure enough, only a woman like the third grandmother can be worthy of the third master Rong, my knowledge is still shallow after all." ”
"Miss Chu's knowledge is not so shallow, but she is bound by her background. But Miss Chu also has to understand that many things in the world can transcend her background. Yanran's words made Miss Chu smile faintly again: "So, Grandma Rong San already knows that Rong San Ye didn't agree to this matter?" ”
"Yes, my husband, I know very well, he won't say yes. Besides, if he really agrees, he will tell me personally, not on your behalf. Yan Ran's words were so sure, Miss Chu smiled again: "It seems that I don't understand the relationship between husband and wife between you and Rong Sanye." I originally thought that between you, it was just ......"
"It's just an ordinary couple, in fact, we're really just an ordinary couple. But no one has ever said that ordinary couples can't have strong love, and they can't have the joy of thrushes. Miss Chu looked at Yanran seriously, and only after a long time did she say, "By this time, Grandma Rongsan, I really envy you." ”
is not envious of her appearance, not envy her for anything else, but envy that she can have someone who is willing to accompany her all the time. Yan Ran smiled lightly and said nothing else. In front of her, there can never be a person who can accompany her to go on, and she can only be outside the palace forever, widowed for the Son of Heaven. Even if she doesn't have a name, it's just a few days of affection, but that's it.
Miss Chu thought about it too, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Chunjuan, "Please invite my sister out." This time, Yan Ran didn't let Chunjuan stop, and only said to Miss Chu: "If you don't dislike it, our husband and wife can accept Ling Mei as a righteous sister, and the matter of Ling Mei's marriage in the future is all on us." ”
"It's not that I can't take out the mundane things like the dowry, but in this world, where can I find a good man like the third master, and how many men can treat my sister without having a blasphemous heart?" This is Miss Chu's true words, Yanran heard it, smiled and said: "Life circumstances are different, Sister Ling will definitely be able to find the man she is destined to be, and from then on, the husband and wife will love each other, and they will grow old." ”
Miss Chu looked at her sister who walked into the hall, sighed lightly and turned her eyes to Yan Ran: "I hope so." Chu Xiaomei already knew what Yan Ran had said, and at this moment, in her heart, she admired Yan Ran, and saluted Yan Ran and said, "I already understand what Grandma Rong means." I hope I can get the blessing of Grandma Rong, and my life will be smooth from now on. ”
That's all there is to it, Miss Chu smiled again, and there was a hint of sigh in her smile. Yanran helped Chu Xiaomei up, to be a man, the important thing is to listen to your heart, not to think about anything else.
When Rong Qi returned home, he heard the maid say that Yanran had gone out, and his heart was suddenly like fifteen buckets fetching water, but it was difficult to say. Walking around the house, I just don't know what to do. The maid has already come in to say that Master Rong is looking for Rong Qi.
Rong Qi originally thought that Master Rong was looking for something to do, so he hurriedly came to Master Rong's room, and when Master Rong saw his nephew enter the door, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, third child, I really didn't know that you still had such a ability, and you got people's hearts without saying a word." Speaking of which, where should you put your new favorite? The daughter of the Chu family is different from others, it is better to stay away from the courtyard of the third grandmother, so as not to poke the heart of the third grandmother when you and her love is strong. ”
"Uncle, I didn't accept it." Master Rong's words really made Rong Qi smile bitterly, and Master Rong smiled and patted his nephew's shoulder: "What stupid things do you say to me, what haven't you been spoiled, the third grandmother has taken a sedan chair to see people today." I said, that's a good thing, men, they have to spread out. ”
Rong Qi was even more anxious, and the little girl had already come in: "Third master, third grandmother is back." Rong Qi couldn't wait for a word and hurriedly ran out. Master Rong was still laughing there, and look, he said that he didn't accept favors, so he ran to ask for the letter at this time.
Rong Qi ran back to his room and saw that Yanran was being helped into it by Qiulan. Rong Qi stepped forward and pushed Qiulan away, held his wife's hand and said, "Yanran, let me tell you, this is Miss Chu forcing me, I don't want to, but Miss Chu said that people in this world can still ......."
"You all get out!" Yan Ran had already ordered all the people in the room to go out, and then said to Rong Qi: "Good third master, okay, what's the matter, blame me for not nodding and agreeing to let you take a concubine, losing your face, come and talk to me at this time." ”
"Yanran, I only have you in my heart, how can I be favored? It's just that Miss Chu doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe the oath between us, and she also says, this ......" Yanran had already sat down and looked at her husband coldly: "So that's it, promise to bet with her, if she wins, you will take a concubine, if she loses, you can also say that you and I are husband and wife." It's all about you treating me differently. Good third master, okay, I used to say that you were honest, but now I look at it, and you are not honest at all. ”
Rong Qi was even more anxious by these words, and stepped forward to hold his wife's hand and refused to let go: "Yanran, you know, I am in business, and I always have to use some ......."
"Those methods are for outsiders, not for me. Even if you tell me, won't I still be able to act with you? Yanran withdrew her hand from her husband's hand and grabbed her husband's ear with her backhand: "I'm annoyed that you listen to other women and don't listen to me." ”
"I didn't listen to other women, I didn't listen to you." Rong Qi became depressed. Yanran looked at him: "No, then what else are you betting?" ”
