"Why am I only worthy of being a minion?" After returning to Xifangyuan, Ruan Qingzhi was still haunted by this sentence: "Am I uglier than her or stupider than her?" ”

Ye Han said expressionlessly: "You are not destined by heaven. ”

"But I'm not a hell of a killer, am I?" Ruan Qingzhi sat on the threshold and looked back at him: "If I really die, these people in the Prime Minister's Mansion would have died a long time ago, how can they still show off their martial arts like now!" ”

Brought the cloud tea soup over, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the young lady was indeed a little evil in the past, and the people who served around her died of illness and illness, and it was not until later that she moved to Xifang Garden that she gradually got better. The fortune teller said that the house was fortunately covered by the auspicious aura of the second lady, otherwise it would be a matter of time before the door was destroyed. ”

Ban Yue sneered on the side: "Miss is young and doesn't know anything, whether it's good or not, it's not all in the mouths of others!" They said that those people were all killed by the young lady's fate, and I said that they did it secretly! It's like the fire in Xifangyuan many years ago......"

Xianyun slapped his face and exaggeratedly praised: "Yo, with the moon, you are much smarter now!" ”

Banyue heard that this was not a sincere compliment, and immediately turned around and pounced to tear her mouth, and the two little girls laughed together.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at it with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I didn't mean that. ”

"No matter what you mean," Ye Han sat down, "they insist that you are a bad person, and you don't want to marry Gao Zhi obediently." ”

Ruan Qingzhi glanced at him, still shaking his head: "I don't care what they insist on, and the so-called evil life is not bitten out by them." I was thinking......"

It stands to reason that a person who is bad should be unlucky everywhere and bring disaster to the people around her, but she has helped Yu Zhongqian during this time, saved the old lady and Liu Jiaojiao, and she has also been loved by the old lady Luan...... None of this is like what happens to a sinister person.

Because of these things, Ruan Qingzhi once suspected that his "fate" was fabricated by the Jin family and the Xiangshi.

But it's not right. Even if the words of the Xiangshi are not credible, the news from the Si Ming Shenjun will not be wrong, right?

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it for many days, and gradually gave birth to some hope in his heart:

Even if it's a destiny, it's not necessarily completely unchangeable, right? She has always relied on her life in the previous eight lives, and it is a big deal to rely on herself in this life!

Ruan Qingzhi slapped on the threshold and stood up.

Ye Han waited for a long time and didn't see her finish saying that, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and he also stood up with her: "So what are you going to do?" ”

When the two girls heard this, they also stopped playing and came over.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled nonchalantly: "It's too early to talk about 'plans'. My father won't really marry me to King Rui as a concubine! ”

"What if he really said yes?" Banyue asked urgently.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled: "Isn't that what I want?" As long as I am allowed to enter the palace, let alone be a concubine, even if I am made a maid, the position of the concubine will be mine sooner or later! ”

Ye Han's face sank, and he gritted his teeth and mocked: "Whimsical!" ”

Xieyun was worried: "I'm afraid that the second lady and Mrs. Jin won't let you marry into the palace smoothly!" What if they do something bad and marry you to a small family to endure hardship? ”

Ruan Qingzhi's smile suddenly froze: "Then it's really troublesome!" After all......"

After all, it is not easy to kick your husband to remarry or assist her husband to change the dynasty.

But now is not the time to worry about that. Ruan Qingzhi saw it very clearly: "My father will not marry me to a small family. First, he can't afford to lose that person, and secondly, it won't do him any good to do that, and he still expects to use me to pave the way for Ruan Biyun! ”

The more Banyue thought about it, the more confused she became, and she was so anxious that her head hurt: "That's not right, that's not good, how can this situation be broken?" ”

Ye Han said very calmly: "It's normal if you can't break it." ”

"What do you mean?!" The moon was even more confused.

Ruan Qingzhi patted her soothingly and explained: "Ye Han means that King Rui's proposal this time is originally a pit, of course we won't let us jump out easily." ”

Banyue was still ignorant at first, but then she finally figured it out gradually.

So the situation is back to the way it was a few days ago: Ruan Qingzhi has once again been branded as Rui Wangfu, and in the future, it will fall to the point where no one dares to come to ask for marriage, and the door of Rui Wangfu will not really be open to her.

"Despicable! This is to hang people alive on the crooked neck tree in the Rui Wangfu! Yiyun gritted his teeth and scolded.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the dead branches all over the yard, and smiled leisurely and didn't panic at all: "It's okay to hang it, let's cut down his tree!" ”

In short, this matter is not worth her worry.

Ye Han finally showed a smile when he heard this: "Miss is right. ”

With that, he grabbed the hilt of his sword, turned around and left.

Banyue subconsciously chased two steps and asked urgently: "Hey, where are you going?" It's almost time to eat! ”

Ye Han didn't stop at his feet, and laughed loudly: "I'll sharpen my knife!" ”

Banyue turned back stupidly, muttering and complaining: "Inexplicable! Didn't he use a sword? Which knife to sharpen? ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ye Han's back thoughtfully. Xieyun leaned over again and whispered, "Miss, do you want to check the origin of Yehan again?" He often comes and goes without a trace, and we don't know what he is going out for, in case of trouble, it will be bad for us. ”

"That's it!" Banyue immediately chimed in, "You see, eight times out of ten, he ran out at dinnertime, sometimes he came back in the middle of the night, sometimes he didn't come back all night, could it be that he was looking for flowers outside and asking Liu ......"

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help laughing: "He still asks for flowers and willows? You don't have to spend money to find flowers and ask willows? Besides, where do you think he looks like a flower and willow? In my opinion, he probably went out at night to rob his house! Didn't you tell me last time that he had dozens of brothers? His image is clearly a bandit leader! ”

Banyue's brows furrowed even tighter when she heard this: "Then it's better to go and look for flowers and ask willows!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed and clapped his hands: "No matter what he does, he is not a real minion!" I haven't been to say hello to my grandmother for a few days, so you two will come with me today! ”

The three of them changed their clothes and went to Chunhui Courtyard together, but the night cold over there didn't sharpen any knives, and they ran out of the alley along the courtyard wall alone, and flashed into an inconspicuous courtyard.

Immediately, a few men ran out to meet them.

The first one rushed to say in a loud voice: "Master, the village over there has been arranged, the brothers have already moved in, and the surrounding villages have also greeted each other, there is no problem!" ”

Ye Han listened all the way, and when the man finished speaking, he asked, "Is there any news from the north?" ”

A slender young man next to him continued: "It has been taken over." The brethren did as you commanded, and there was no conflict. It's just that...... It is said that the new past beasts are very inauthentic, and when something happens, let our people take the lead and not say anything, and rob the credit! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little indignant, and the scolding inside and outside the house suddenly rang out.

Ye Han sat down and drank a bowl of water, and said in a deep voice: "Tell them to be patient for a while, and there is a time for revenge!" ”

The young man agreed, and then said in a thin voice: "The recent progress in Shangjing is also good, and the news from the fifth master came yesterday." Mr. Chu asked you to respond? ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Ye Han muttered, "Let's make some noise over there in the stockade first, and make sure that it can reach the capital, but don't go too far, so as not to frighten some people." ”

When the rough-voiced man heard this, he immediately laughed: "Yes! But be careful not to scare him! That kid is like a rabbit master, he hid when he heard the movement of the big fart, and he still wanted to make great contributions and make people praise him for being a hero! ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Ye Han said in a deep voice: "The things originally arranged are still to be done, but now these days are empty, Lao Cheng, a few of you will think of tossing and tossing him, don't let him be too idle!" ”

"No," Lao Cheng, who was named by name, was stunned for a moment, "...... Master, is he still idle? Isn't he still lying in bed? We beat him up a lot! ”

"Light!" Ye Han glared at him to express dissatisfaction, "You don't want to fight on your face, do you?" Otherwise, how could he still have the ability to think of bullying people? ”

Lao Cheng sighed and patted his thigh: "I thought that he was a prince anyway, and it was a face to keep him a face, and he didn't plan to ask for that face?" Well, the brethren are going to beat him up again tonight! ”

Ye Han nodded, his face softened.

Seeing this, Lao Cheng put on a smile and asked tentatively, "What did that kid do to provoke you?" ”

Ye Han didn't answer, and stood up with a cold expression: "Tonight, I'm going to go again." ”

Everyone present was shocked at the same time, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, your last injury hasn't healed yet, and the other party may not be defenseless, so it's better to wait and ......."

"Don't wait!" Ye Han raised his feet and left, "What else will I do if I wait any longer!" ”

……

In the Chunhui courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ruan Qingzhi sat obediently on a small bench peeling chestnuts, and the picture was very warm.

The old lady was not pleased.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Ruan Qingzhi, her face was very ugly: "You still insist on keeping him?" ”

"Grandmother," Ruan Qingzhi looked up and smiled, "Ye Han is not a bad person. ”

"He's not a bad guy!" The old lady slapped the table angrily, "How do you know that he is not a bad person!" Did you pull out his heart? ”

"Grandmother!" Ruan Qingzhi was helpless, pouting and coquettish.

The old lady let out a long sigh: "It's not grandmother who wants to meddle with your affairs, it's really him...... You're just young and don't understand the sinister hearts of people! He's a bandit, how can a bandit be a good person? Don't think that he is a good person when he saves you once, he clearly has a plan! ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and smiled again: "But grandmother, I can't get rid of him." ”

The old lady was silent, and her face was even more worried: "So it's not that you want to keep him, it's that he wants to stay here and refuse to leave?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi's face did not change, and he said matter-of-factly: "Yes, he seems to be being chased and killed by someone, so he wants to borrow the Prime Minister's Mansion to live and refuses to leave." ”

The old lady was so anxious and angry that she couldn't stop coughing.

Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her on the back, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, although they are bandits, although they are good and evil, they also have their own set of rules, such as knowing how to repay kindness or something." If we allow him to live here, he will regard us as benefactors, which is a good thing, don't you think he saved my life last time? With people like him, it's better to be kind than hateful. ”

"But," the old lady was still uneasy, "can you guarantee that he will leave when he is done?" Do you know that he ...... you?"

Ruan Qingzhi waited to listen to the following words, but the old lady didn't continue, and turned her head with a clear cough: "I heard in a trance that someone came to propose to you?" ”

"Nope." Ruan Qingzhi shook his head, "It's Mrs. Jin's bad move, I'm afraid that I'll get in the way of Yun'er, so I do everything possible to abuse me." ”

"They dare!" The old lady immediately became angry, "My Ruan family's child, where is her turn to be a stupid woman to abuse!" Xiaomei, go call her over! ”

The maidservant Xiaomei immediately agreed, and the old lady grabbed Ruan Qingzhi's hand again and said, "Even if you can't get rid of that night cold, you have to stay away from him!" Remember that you have to marry well, and you can't let a slave who doesn't know how to advance or retreat ruin your reputation! ”

"The granddaughter understands," Ruan Qingzhi agreed very well-behaved, "Grandmother is relieved." ”

The old lady looked at her as perfunctory, her face finally looked a little better, and she casually asked her what she was doing these days.

Ruan Qingzhi said with a smile: "It's nothing more than writing, writing, reading books or something." The Queen Mother ordered a groundbreak, and I couldn't run around. ”

"You're still trying to run around!" The old lady half-jokingly said angrily, "If you don't run around, you'll already get into a lot of trouble!" I don't know what's wrong with you, you haven't caused anything in the past ten years, why did you suddenly change someone after a mid-autumn! ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled more and more well-behaved, flatteringly stepped forward to beat the old lady's legs, and asked tentatively: "So, who do you say I have with this temperament?" ”

The old lady said hatefully: "You can do it with anyone, as long as you don't follow that stupid woman of the Jin family!" ”

"That's with my father?" Ruan Qingzhi wants to get to the bottom of it, "But my father's temperament is not like this!" Grandmother, do you think I wasn't born to Mrs. Kim? ”

The old lady's face sank, and she squinted her eyes and looked at her: "What did you hear outside?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think she doesn't treat me like her own child, maybe I picked it up?" ”

"Don't be cranky!" The old lady slapped the back of her hand heavily, "No matter how bad she is, she is your own mother!" If you don't like it, don't learn from her in the future, don't lose your duty as a child! - I heard you even change your name? Who taught you to call her 'Lady Kim'? ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled and was about to think of fooling over, when Jin's voice sounded outside the door: "Old lady, do you know?" This mourning star can't wait to ride on my head! ”

Hearing this, Ruan Qingzhi and the old lady frowned together.

After that, Ruan Biyun's voice also came in: "Don't worry, mother, grandmother will teach my sister!" ”

While speaking, the mother and daughter walked into the door hand in hand, saluted the old lady and took their seats.

Jin opened his mouth and asked, "What is the matter with the old lady calling her daughter-in-law over?" Are you going to teach this a lesson? ”

The old lady looked at her and couldn't help frowning: "How old is it, why are you still dressed up so fancy?" ”

Kim's smile immediately fell, his apricot eyes narrowed, and his hatred could not be concealed at all.

Ruan Biyun was busy on the side and said with a smile: "Grandmother is angry, my mother didn't deliberately want to dress up brightly, just because she had suffered a lot in prison before, and her face was a little haggard, so she put on more fat powder and put on a bright-colored dress to line it." ”

This explanation seems to be reasonable, the old lady snorted and didn't say anything more, and directly changed the topic and said: "I just heard that someone came to propose marriage to the eldest sister, what's going on?" ”

Jin hurriedly said: "There is nothing to do! Old lady, no one proposed! This mourning ...... Qingzhi's marriage, the master said it, and it's not too late to mention it after the ceremony, no matter who says it at this time, I won't listen to it! ”

This is not true, but the meaning is quite satisfactory. The old lady glanced at Ruan Qingzhi, and then at Ruan Biyun: "Don't make a mistake!" It's all Miss Chang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if you can't level a bowl of water, you have to try your best to stabilize it for me! Don't be smart enough to fight some crooked ideas, be careful that the Prime Minister's Mansion has become a joke in Shangjing! ”

The Jin family's status is not as good as before, so he has to agree and dare not argue.

Ruan Biyun hurriedly smiled, and pretended to be angry: "Who came to my grandmother to chew my tongue in front of me again and make my grandmother angry?" If it's good, it won't be like it when it's passed around! Grandmother, someone from the Rui Wangfu came to make a joke before, but she didn't really propose marriage, and her father and mother didn't take it to heart, don't worry. ”

"Jokes?" The old lady's face was even more angry: "When will the innocent girl's family in my prime minister's house be allowed to be joked about at will?" ”

Ruan Biyun was startled, hurriedly got up to make amends, and repeatedly swore that she would never mention her relatives, and the old lady's face gradually looked better.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Jin Shi hurriedly smiled again: "The old lady can't be angry about these little things of the younger generation, and there is a lot of success!" As long as Yun'er marries well, can the girls next to her still be wronged? ”

The old lady's face sank, and she glanced at her fiercely: "Why, only Biyun is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the rest are all picked up?" ”

When Kim was about to argue, Ruan Biyun hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and replied for her, "How so? In her mother's heart, Yun'er and her younger siblings are the same, and they are not separated from each other. ”

The old lady lowered her eyelids and did not answer her words, obviously not buying it.

Ruan Biyun had no choice but to ask Ruan Qingzhi for help: "Sister, help your mother explain to your grandmother!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi pursed her lips with an innocent expression: "Sister, it's not that I refuse to help my mother explain, but I don't know anything!" One moment my mother said that she had allowed me to be a concubine, and then she said that I was only worthy of marrying a slave, and I don't know what made my mother angry......"

"Bastard!" The old lady knocked the bamboo cane in her hand on the corner of the table, "As a concubine?" Marry a minion? Jin, are you going to practice my granddaughter, or are you going to practice our Ruan family? Your lord is the head of a hundred officials, and the first child born under his knees is only worthy of being a concubine and a slave? I think you don't even want to be this flat wife anymore! ”

"No," Kim got up and knelt down in fright, "old lady, that's just a joke......"

"Enough!" The old lady interrupted her defense with a bamboo cane, "It's not a proper system!" Jin, you go back and tell your master, I have the final say on the marriage of the eldest sister! You guys, don't want to use the marriage to spoil her! If I know who you have promised her to without me, I will kneel down to the court with the imperial uniform in my hand! ”

It's really angry.

Jin was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again. The old lady leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes to recuperate, meaning that she didn't want to see her, but she refused to let her go.

Ruan Qingzhi was well-behaved throughout the whole process, as if she was out of the way, and the strength of helping the old lady beat her legs was not light or heavy, just right.

Ruan Biyun was so embarrassed that she had to kneel down beside the Jin family: "Grandmother, mother, she was punished in prison and has injuries on both knees, is it okay for her granddaughter to kneel for her?" ”

"Get up!" The old lady snorted coldly and mocked, "I went to Yamen Prison, and it became a credit!" It's so delicate! ”

Jin Shi stood halfway up, and was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, and paused for a while before Ruan Biyun helped him up and sat down again.

The old lady opened her eyes, glanced at the golden step on her head in disgust, and said, "The face of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been almost lost for a while, and it is bound to think of ways to save some." The old man plans to find a family business for your lord as soon as possible, do you have a suitable candidate? ”

Kim looked up suddenly, and the thick fat powder couldn't hide her face that turned pale in an instant.

"Old lady," she said hesitantly, "the old man is old...... It's another step-room, I'm afraid...... I can't find any girls from big families. ”

Ruan Qingzhi lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Especially since there is a flat wife in the mansion who will poison her mother-in-law!" When the girl heard this, she refused to marry! ”

Jin glanced at her fiercely, but he didn't refute it, and said again: "So the daughter-in-law's idea is to find a girl from an ordinary white family to marry, that is." ”

Ruan Qingzhi added for her: "Moreover, ordinary girls are also easier to handle!" ”

", you!" The Jin family was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but his face was so hideous and frightened that Ruan Qingzhi shrank straight into the old lady's arms.

Seeing this, Ruan Biyun hurriedly made up for her mother and said: "I'm afraid it's not suitable to be born too ordinary, after all, people like us ......"

Hearing this, the old lady finally nodded: "That's exactly the truth." Most of the girls from high-ranking families refuse to marry to clean up this mess, and the girls from small families can't support this scene. So we can't pick too much. You just go and tell the official media that the Prime Minister only requires people to be shrewd and capable, and the rest of the conditions such as appearance, age, background, or whether they are married for the first time can be ignored! ”

"How can this work?" Jin exclaimed in surprise, "If you find someone with a strong personality and a drag oil bottle, won't Yun'er be squeezed down?" ”

Ruan Biyun's face wrinkled badly, gritted her teeth and pretended to be understanding, and persuaded: "Mother doesn't have to worry about Yun'er, I can bear it." ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned and looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, this is not right!" My mother is just a flat wife, and Yun'er and I are even younger generations, so where can we talk about such a big thing as marrying a wife to my father! ”

When Jin heard this, he was so angry that his eyebrows rose.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled: "The eldest sister is right. Kim, go spread the word! ”
