130. People who step on two boats often die miserably

Yehan's methods of bullying people, Ruan Qingzhi didn't have much chance to see it, but Ruan Biyun already knew about it early.

On such a cold day, a large group of people gathered outside the Golden Chestnut Garden to watch the excitement, and as soon as they saw Ruan Biyun going out, they immediately rushed up.

Ruan Biyun was taken aback by this battle, and instinctively wanted to turn around and flee back to the door, but the little maid in Jin Liyuan didn't look at her, and closed the door with a "bang".

As if they had received some kind of encouragement, the people outside the door rushed to Ruan Biyun and asked in a loud voice:

"Miss Ruan Er, I heard that the Northwest Army does not accept donations at all, so your so-called sale of paintings to raise funds is not under the banner of the Northwest Army?"

"It's not grandstanding, it's swaggering, right? If you sell paintings well, don't talk about selling paintings and raising money, is it not enough to spend the money on rouge gouache? ”

"Miss Ruan Er, what is your intention of visiting His Royal Highness King Li privately today? I heard that the county lord of Qingyang is also here, so do you two plan to follow the example of Empress E's daughter Ying to serve a husband? Did the county lord of Qingyang agree? ”

"Can't you? Don't say that the county lord of Qingyang doesn't agree, even His Royal Highness King Li may not be willing! His Royal Highness and the Lord of Qingyang County have a deep affection for each other, how can he be a greedy and affectionate person! ”

"Miss Ruan Er, you came out so late, why didn't Jin Liyuan even send off guests? You're not going to be kicked out, are you? ”

"Did you try everything to please you, send it to the door in person, and then get kicked out? Has Miss Ruan Er, who used to be a star-studded woman, come to this point? ”

……

The people were noisy, and they chased Ruan Biyun all the way from the gate of the Golden Chestnut Garden to the side of the road.

Ruan Bijun has been held as a phoenix since she was a child, and she is always laughing and laughing everywhere she goes; Even in her haunting past life, the most she had encountered was coldness.

She never knew that a stranger's mouth could spit out so much malice. She didn't know them, but their posture was so bad that they would have trampled her into the mud and then kicked her so hard that she couldn't get up for the rest of her life.

Ruan Bijun didn't have the strength or the guts to scold others. She struggled to squeeze through the crowd and looked back in the direction of the Golden Chestnut Garden.

She was convinced that the situation in front of her was brought to her by Ruan Qingzhi. Obviously, she Miss Ruan Er is the Golden Phoenix, and obviously Ruan Qingzhi should be the one who was stepped on in the mud, who turned the dignity upside down?

She has already stepped on her for a lifetime in the previous life, and she will never allow the same thing to happen again in this life!

"Ruan Qingzhi, let's see!" Ruan Biyun gritted her teeth with hatred, and her eyes were almost bleeding.

But when she turned around after she finished her hair, all the resentment in her stomach turned into panic.

The carriage is gone.

She came to the Golden Chestnut Garden today to let the people of the whole city know. For this reason, she specially asked people to hang two lanterns with the word "Ruan" written on them on the carriage, which were very eye-catching.

And at this moment, there was nothing on the street in front of the Golden Chestnut Garden except for the people in Wuyang. Not to mention the carriages, not even the ox carts and donkey carts.

Ruan Biyun panicked.

She believed that the coachman, Lao Tian, was honest and would never drive the carriage away without her permission. So who dared to drive away the carriage of the Prime Minister's house?

Was it a father or grandmother's order? She had an argument with her father before she went out, and Ruan Wenzhong's old thing had somehow changed her temper recently, and when she heard that she was coming to the Golden Chestnut Garden, she immediately disagreed, and clamored to stop it, obviously she had been poured ecstasy soup and changed her position.

In the final analysis, it's for Ruan Qingzhi's demon.

So, does she deserve to be wronged, to not even have a carriage, and to not be able to go home?

The more Ruan Biyun thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, tears rolled down her eyes, and the pear blossoms brought rain to her pitiful.

But none of the hundreds of men, women, and children on the street were willing to pity her, but burst out laughing at the same moment:

"Yo, crying, crying!"

"What a delicate lady, this hasn't dropped the golden beans yet!"

"What's wrong with Miss Jiao? The county lord of Qingyang is Miss Jiao, Luan Zhongcheng's granddaughter, the real gold and jade! People didn't cry in the face of so many plague-infected mobs in Yangcheng! People can still save people! ”

"So, the real daughter is not squeamish, the more she is raised in the outer room, the more hypocritical she is!"

The laughter became louder and louder, and Ruan Biyun covered her face with her hands and still couldn't avoid it, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.

But it was useless to cry, the stupidity and rudeness of these people were far beyond her imagination. A tear of hers can break the hearts of the princes and grandsons of the whole city, but at this moment, she can't stop the merciless laughter on the street.

The sun has set.

Ruan Biyun shook her hand fiercely and raised her head.

She couldn't walk back to the Prime Minister's Mansion on her own feet, so the most correct way for now was to go back to the Golden Chestnut Garden to borrow a carriage. She has no face for a long time, is she afraid of even more shamelessness?

Afraid.

Ruan Bijun had only taken two steps back when she was horrified to find that the women closest to her had begun to pull at her clothes.

Although the men did not move, the mocking laughter made her even more frightened, and made her ashamed and embarrassed.

"What are you doing?!" She struggled frantically to grasp the women's hands, and it was a long time before she could hear what they were saying.

"Miss Ruan Er, are you going back to the Golden Chestnut Garden?"

"It's night now, you're a big girl, do you want to be ashamed?"

"That's it! And the Golden Chestnut Garden is the garden of the Luan family! Your mother killed the daughter of the Luan family, and the Luan family took care of you as a granddaughter for so many years. Do you have the face to enter their garden? ”

Ruan Biyun was so entangled that she couldn't care about the reserved and delicate of everyone's ladies anymore, and used all her strength to suddenly shake off the hands of those people, and cried and scolded: "You Diao people! If you want to be presumptuous again, I will arrest you and go to the officials! ”

Before she finished speaking, a bright young voice in the crowd shouted, "Did you hear me?" Miss Ruan Er calls us 'Diao Min'! Let's think about it, how could a young lady who regards the people as 'Diao Min' really cherish the soldiers in the Northwest, and how could she think of risking the snow to sell paintings to raise money for the soldiers of the Northwest Army? What she does these days is clearly a show that invites people's hearts! Don't let her fool you! Our hard-earned money came into her hands, and eighty percent of it was taken by her to buy rouge gouache! ”

As soon as they said this, everyone immediately reacted, and someone immediately answered: "That's right! If you think about it, the silver charcoal, the stove, the four treasures of the study, the tables, chairs, benches, and the silk and satin she wore when she sold her paintings, the combined price of these things is only 10,000 taels! If she really wants to help the Northwest Army, she can sell those things for a while, so why bother to brave the wind and snow to go to the streets to raise money from the people! These methods are clearly to deceive us as fools! ”

Ruan Biyun was accused of being criticized until this moment, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cried loudly: "Why do you only scold me? Her Qingyang County Lord is wearing all the best fox furs on the northern ground, and one piece is worth no less than 10,000 gold! Who is more extravagant? ”

"But the county lord of Qingyang didn't loot the people's fat and people's ointment!" The young man immediately answered, "Is the rare golden fox that His Royal Highness King Li hunted on the northwest border to make clothes for his beloved wife to hinder others?" Besides, the temperament of the county lord of Qingyang, everyone knew it when they were in Yangcheng! She has never claimed to share weal and woe with the people, but she has really saved the lives of the people, and is even willing to risk her own life to protect the people! What do you compare to her? ”

Ruan Biyun couldn't answer, so she had to cry again. Halfway through crying, I wiped my face, and found that my cheeks hurt a little, and suddenly realized that crying in the wind might make my face dirty, so I was busy holding back my tears and hiccuping.

Miss Ruan Er, who was born into the world, has really never been so embarrassed. After a while, she felt that she had tasted all the human sufferings she had never tasted in her life.

But that's not all.

The angry people still refused to let her go, and gathered around you to urge me to ask:

"The Northwest Army has already said that it will not accept donations, so when will the money we donated be returned? Don't say you won't pay it back! We didn't make money for you to buy rouge gouache or compare fox furs! ”

"That's it! I even donated the money to make new clothes for the Chinese New Year this year, if you dare to pay it back, I will find you desperately! ”

"What's the money for new clothes? My mother's old cold legs, I heard that it was to save the life of the Northwest Army, and she was so anxious that she even donated the money to buy medicine! ”

"Return the money! Refund!! If you don't return the money, you will smash the Prime Minister's Mansion!! ”

……

Ruan Biyun was crowded by the crowd, her brilliantly embroidered cloak was scratched and wrinkled, a circle of white velvet rabbit fur was stained by someone's hand, and the black and yellow mud was pasted on her shoulders, how ugly and ugly it was.

A man has only two hands, and if he can protect his hair, he cannot protect his cape, and if he can protect his cloak, he cannot protect his sleeves. Ruan Biyun was so frightened that she couldn't cry, so she just hugged her head and screamed, regretting that she didn't bring Luanyin Fengming and them over.

"Help......" She finally retreated to the door of the Golden Chestnut Garden, grabbed the knocker, and whispered: "Help! Your Royal Highness, save me......"

The door was closed tightly, and there was no sign of opening, but the laughter around him was much louder than before. Those dirty and ugly strangers pulled and pushed each other, and the oily clothes and hair, the yellow and black rotten teeth, and the black and red cracked face shook in front of Ruan Biyun's eyes, and finally frightened her completely, and she leaned against the door and cried:

"Let go of me! I ...... back I'll give you all that money...... A lot of money will be returned to you! Will you let me go...... I want to go home, mother, I want to go home! ”

She whispered in her ear: "I want to go home, but don't call my mother, in case your mother really misses you-"

"Don't say it!" Ruan Biyun raised her head violently and screamed like crazy: "Shut up!" Shut up! I'm Miss Xiangfu, who allowed you pariahs to talk to me! ”

First "Diao Min" and then "Untouchables", the words were cold and pierced into the hearts of the people like the tip of a needle. The reputation accumulated by selling paintings to raise funds for the Northwest Army was easily lost by herself in a quarter of an hour.

Ruan Biyun herself realized this, and her eyes immediately turned black for a while, and she was about to fall down when she staggered.

There was a woman next to her who couldn't bear it, and subconsciously stepped forward to help her, but when she stretched out her hand, she felt that the black shadow around her flickered, and the little girl in front of her disappeared in an instant.

The people next to him were also taken aback, and then someone exclaimed: "What a fast body!" ”

"What's going on? Is it a human or a ghost? The woman was so frightened that she slapped her chest.

A teenager's voice said, "It's a man! I saw clearly, it was a man in black, grabbing her waist and carrying her away! ”

The woman straightened up with a long sigh of relief, and asked again in shock, "Is it really a ghost?" ”

The boy laughed, "It's really not a ghost! It's just that his legs and feet are sharper, if you want to talk about light body kung fu, the scouts of the Northwest Army are much more powerful than him! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and when they saw that the sky was almost dark, they talked and dispersed.

Of course, the two things about Miss Ruan Er's calling the people "Diao Min" and "Untouchables" and Miss Ruan Er's promise to return all the donations should be known as soon as possible.

After the people dispersed, the thin figure of the young man rushed into the night, entered the Golden Chestnut Garden through the side door, and said to one of the guards: "Pass the word in: the master guessed correctly, it was Lu Hanwen who did it!" ”

Lu Hanwen, the former strategist of the Rui Wangfu, is good at scheming, and is known as a last resort.

Very few people know that this person is also quite good at martial arts. Saving people on the street or something, it's no problem.

……

But this talented man who is both civil and military has a temper that is not gentle.

At this moment, looking at the girl opposite Pear Blossom crying with rain, he only felt bored, and he wanted to open the window several times and throw people out.

Fortunately, they all endured it in the end.

By the time Ruan Biyun finished crying, Lu Hanwen had already turned around the table in dozens of circles irritably, and his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

Looking at each other, Ruan Biyun shuddered, then wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously and sat up straight: "What are you looking at me like this?" ”

Lu Hanwen looked away and sneered: "Of course, it depends on your Miss Ruan Er's greatness, you can mess up such an easy thing!" ”

Ruan Biyun's red and swollen eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't believe it: "You...... How dare you taunt me?! ”

"Why, if you don't do it well, don't you allow anyone to say it?" Lu Hanwen shook his sleeves and sat down, full of momentum.

Ruan Biyun was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Presumptuous! You minion, how dare you talk to me like this! Don't forget, your master is still in prison, and you are still behind when you ask me! ”

Lu Hanwen was not frightened by her, but pursed his lips and asked very disdainfully: "Really?" ”

Ruan Biyun looked at him in a daze, and suddenly her face changed greatly: "You, you, what is there to hide from me?!" ”

"You don't need to know everything." Lu Hanwen was cold and not polite: "You just need to know what you have to do." The problem now is that you have not done what you should have done well, and you have caused trouble for Your Highness. ”

"Hah!" Ruan Bijun couldn't help but sneer, "Who caused trouble to whom?" If he hadn't been useless, I'd have been pushed to this point? I've done enough! Lu Hanwen, even if I don't do well enough this time, it's your idea that is too bad! You told me to raise funds to comfort the Northwest Army in the people, on the one hand, it can make Your Majesty more jealous and disgusted with the Northwest Army, and on the other hand, you can provoke King Li and that cheap maid...... It's all! They are a pair of dogs and men who can't wait to stick together, how to provoke? That was not fooled at all, and refused to bring Ju Mozhai to sing against me, how could I pull her into the water? The Northwest Army posted notices in public declaring that they would not accept fundraising, how else could I make His Majesty disgusted with them? Now that the Queen Mother doesn't like me to enter the palace gate very much, what other way can I speak in front of Your Majesty! ”

She hadn't tried to say so much in one breath for a long time, and she felt quite happy at this time. There has already been a time when she was embarrassed, and she didn't have the heart to abide by the rules of everyone's ladies.

Isn't that like this all the time, like a shrew, crossing her waist and shouting at people? From King Li to the people, those stupid people still love her shrewd look so much!

Ruan Biyun exhaled a long breath, feeling that the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot.

It's a pity that Lu Hanwen was not moved by her "straightforward and fast-talking", but frowned very disapprerovingly, and his expression turned out to be very disgusted.

"If you don't do it well, you can't do it well," he said, "and the more you make excuses and excuses, the easier it is to expose the fact that you are stupid and incompetent." ”

Ruan Biyun's eyes widened.

Is this, scolding her to her face? Can she Miss Ruan Er already be despised to this point?

Lu Hanwen looked disdainful, immediately confirmed her doubt, and mocked: "Now that the whole world knows that you are a fake phoenix, you still want to let the world hold you like before, and don't see if you are worthy!" This time, His Royal Highness has the heart to give you a chance to do it, who knows that you have the ability to do a good thing like this! ”

Ruan Biyun was scolded so disgraced that she couldn't sit still anymore, and finally slapped the table and stood up: "You came up with the idea, do you blame me for the mess?" Besides, you are just a bunch of lost dogs now, why do you tell me to do this and that! ”

Lu Hanwen was not afraid at all, and sneered: "The matter is messed up, it's not that my idea is bad, it's because you have no brains!" As for the lost dog, Miss Ruan Er, with all due respect, your landed phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and it's hard to say whether you can be worthy of the lost dog! ”

"You, you ......" Ruan Biyun was so angry that she almost fainted.

She knew that the quarrel was not the opponent of the other party, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow her hatred, turn around and walk out.

Go out, enter the palace.

She wants to tell the emperor all the causes and consequences of today's humiliation, so that everyone in the palace can understand: the Rui King, who was tried in the prison of Dali Temple, refused to settle down, and all the stupid things she did before were coerced by the other party!

This idea quickly took shape in her heart, and Ruan Biyun's heart gave birth to a little pleasure of revenge.

However, the next moment, she saw Lu Hanwen standing at the door, blocking her way, and seemed to smile: "Second Miss, are you going to sue?" ”

This time his tone was very gentle, but Ruan Biyun was so frightened that she shivered, and subconsciously shook her head.

Lu Hanwen laughed: "Second Miss don't be nervous, even if you go to Your Majesty to complain, Your Highness will not take it to heart, and of course she will not retaliate against you." ”

"I don't sue!" Ruan Biyun blurted out, "But now, what the hell should I do?!" ”

Lu Hanwen smiled and beckoned her to sit down at the table, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult." If the soft ones don't work, let's come with the hard ones; If you can't bend it, let's go straight. ”

Ruan Bijun didn't understand.

Lu Hanwen frowned with a look of disgust: "I mean, Second Miss, you have already torn your face with the county lord of Qingyang, you should kill with a real knife and a real gun at this time, and what are you calling your sister and sister with false affection!" ”

Ruan Bijun is not uncommon to have any sisters and sisters, but she doesn't understand what the other party means.

Fortunately, this time Lu Hanwen did not beat around the bush again. He looked up at Ruan Biyun and said coldly: "Now it seems that the county lord of Qingyang is extremely cunning, and it is not easy to set up a situation to lure her into being fooled. For today's plan, she can only hit the hard, let her avoid it, so that she can have a chance to kill with one blow. Since Miss Ruan Er thinks she is smart, she will not mess with her ideas this time, and I believe that Miss Ruan will be able to succeed immediately. ”

Ruan Biyun heard that his words were mocking, and couldn't help but feel angry again.

But in addition to being annoyed, she gave birth to a bit of warrior-like pride in her heart.

She had long wanted to kill with a real sword! In the past, Rui Wangfu had always held the initiative and asked her to take care of the overall situation, but now that no one is stopping her, she will do her best to send that annoying to the west sky!

Ruan Biyun's face turned red, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.

Lu Hanwen stood up again, and elegantly stretched out his hand to her to ask: "It's inconvenient to send each other off, there is a carriage at the door, and the second lady walks slowly." ”

"Carriage." Ruan Biyun stood at the table and looked at him, "Why did you arrange a carriage for me?" Where did my own carriage go? What about Lao Tian? ”

Lu Hanwen looked at her and smiled with pity: "Second Miss, can't you figure it out?" The carriage parked at the gate of the Golden Chestnut Garden, apart from the people of the Golden Chestnut Garden, who else will pick it up? ”

"Sure enough, it's that!" Ruan Biyun pinched the handkerchief fiercely, gritted her teeth and scolded angrily: "I knew that she was the only one who fought against me everywhere!" ”

Lu Hanwen shook his head and smiled even deeper: "Miss Ruan Er, are you still dreaming, thinking that His Royal Highness King Li will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, thinking that he will be as smart and beautiful as you, and sooner or later he will be able to enter his eyes?" ”

Ruan Biyun was told the central matter, and immediately blushed and denied it again and again.

Lu Hanwen sat down and mocked: "People who are not smart enough but want to step on two boats will die miserably." Miss Ruan Er, please forgive me one more reminder below: your carriage was driven away by King Li, and it was King Li who summoned those people to humiliate you, persecute you, and watch your jokes. From beginning to end, King Li has never had you in his eyes. ”

Ruan Biyun's face seemed to have been slapped twice heavily, and it hurt bitterly.

"So you have no other choice," Lu Hanwen concluded, "You are a member of the Rui Wangfu, and you can only live and die with the Rui Wangfu." Next time, if I know that you are wagging your tail at Ling Han under the guise of doing things for the Rui Palace, I can only send you to the prison of Dali Temple and let His Highness watch you personally. ”

Ruan Biyun's face turned pale, she froze in place for a long time, and muttered: "Lu Hanwen, King Rui, he ......"

"King Rui is very good," Lu Hanwen interrupted her coldly, "Miss Ruan, please go slowly, I won't send it down." ”
