Chapter 4 Clothes and sideburns

"Mother, you actually asked Zhao Mo to prepare clothes for that! She deserves to wear a precious feather coat of jewelry? I am the upright Miss Mufu! Her mother didn't know which wild seed she was with! ”

Mu Jingfei broke into the main hall of the Mu Mansion with a fierce momentum, and the eldest lady who had just been to the side courtyard was now taking stock of the congratulatory gifts sent by various countries and provinces and explaining the etiquette and customs of her subordinates. The eldest lady listened to her daughter's pungent words, how could she still be a lady, and even mentioned that Mu Jingfei was rumored to be a gentle and kind beautieth in the world?

"Shut up and get out, all you have to do now is to behave well at the banquet and win Chu Lingran's favor. Now this spicy energy is really like a peasant woman on the street, how can she still have the appearance of a good person in a country. ”

The eldest lady thought to herself that she was usually overly pampered by her daughter, but now how could she become a big thing when she couldn't bear everything, but it was Mu Ruoying, who was cautious, respectful and polite, although she didn't know whether it was true or false, but it was really cute. If Mu Jingfei could have half of Mu Ruoying's intelligence, she would not be angry now.

Presumably this is the heaviest thing Mu Jingfei heard her mother say to herself, and she was a little embarrassed by the thousands of favors she received, and her mother scolded her like this in front of many subordinates. Mu Jingfei transferred all her hatred to Mu Ruoying, determined that Mu Ruoying must not be allowed to participate in this celebration smoothly.

"Miss, you guessed right. The eldest lady did go to Madame to make trouble. In front of the full house of guests, the lady spoke to the eldest lady. ”

Ling Er looked at Mu Ruoying with admiration, Mu Ruoying knew that her courtyard would be very lively today since the eldest lady walked out of her yard, so she asked Ling Er to keep an eye on Mu Jingfei's movements, really, how could Mu Jingfei be calm.

"Hmph, idiot."

Mu Ruoying was not much shocked, if Mu Jingfei calmed down today, Mu Ruoying would be a little surprised if she didn't come to the side courtyard as a guest, the ridicule on the corner of her mouth just confirmed that her sister was so stupid. Sure enough, how can a princess who has been loved by her parents and sought after by the world since she was a child withstand the slightest humiliation?

If Mu Jingfei is a young girl who lives in the light and does not have the slightest bit of the city, then Mu Ruoying has long been like a gloomy Yama who strategizes, chases the enemy for thousands of miles, and has blood-stained hands.

"Ling'er, the guest is coming, make a cup of tea."

Mu Ruoying sat on the bed and leaned, not making any movement, leaning quietly, waiting for the door to open and a new round of well-behaved disguise.

"Mu Ruoying!"

Before the tea was tumbling and filtering, Ye Xin was still wantonly laughing at the opening of this comedy in the pot, and Mu Jingfei came to Mu Ruoying with a group of people.

Mu Ruoying hurriedly got up from the bed, looked at Mu Jingfei's angry and distorted face with an innocent face, held back a smile, and met Mu Jingfei's eyes that were about to eat people. She slowly put the plain clothes that the eldest lady had rewarded in front of Mu Jingfei's table, and her hands intentionally or unintentionally touched the clothes that meant that she was going to participate in the celebration at night and would be amazed.

"My sister hasn't been here for a long time, and the last time I came was eight years ago."

Mu Jingfei took the tea in Ling'er's hand to hand over the tea, unlike the eldest lady before, she lowered her head and couldn't see any expression and face clearly, Mu Ruoying looked at Mu Jingfei's face, and with a smile, she was like a cold fairy falling into the world, contaminated with the slightest fireworks.

Mu Ruoying already knew in her heart that the reason why Mu Jingfei hated her so much was just because her face was much better than her. I think that is the contest between the fairies in the sky and the beauties on the earth, Mu Jingfei is arrogant and arrogant all her life, and she will not allow others to poke her sore spot like this.

Mu Ruoying's face did not show any disrespect, just watched Mu Jingfei's anger turn into hatred step by step, the teacup in Mu Ruoying's hand was firmly placed in front of her and Mu Jingfei, what Mu Ruoying was waiting for was Mu Jingfei's madness.

Mu Jingfei tore up the clothes Mu Ruoying had just sent, leaving only a layer of tattered robes for her.

"What kind of clothes do you need to cover your body? It's not like your mother, who fornicates with the guards, but it also seems that life is wonderful. ”

Mu Ruoying didn't make any expression on her face, she looked at the tattered robe lightly, and listened to Mu Jingfei's humiliating abuse, as if she was listening to another story. didn't react, just smiled at Mu Jingfei, smiling and brightening his eyes. What Mu Jingfei hated the most was Mu Ruoying's face, her indisputable appearance, and her cold appearance that was indifferent no matter how she insulted her.

"Sister, sister can't steal your brilliance. My sister is the first beauty in the capital who is rightfully named. It's just that gentle temperament, my sister pretends to be a little different. ”

"Smack"

Kneeling on the ground, Mu Jingfei slapped Mu Ruoying hard. is still under the condition that Mu Ruoying is so respectful and polite. If on weekdays, how Mu Jingfei bullied Mu Ruoying, the people should turn a blind eye, and some of the kidneys are just watching a good show, who will try to persuade them? But today is different, the lord appointed Mu Ruoying to participate in the celebration, and the eldest lady also asked Zhao Mo to buy new clothes for Mu Ruoying, at this time, Mu Ruoying's face was going to have something missing, and their lives would not be guaranteed.

Mu Ruoying had expected this slap a long time ago, but she secretly teased herself in her heart, this sister of hers is really ruthless. She wasn't necessarily untenable, but in order to push the good show she starred in, she deliberately fell to the ground, and the fragment of the teacup in her hand cut a deep hole in her elbow.

"Well... It hurts. ”

Mu Ruoying fell to the ground, fell on a pool of blood and refused to get up, so weak and helpless, Mu Jingfei looked at the person on the ground, although she was relieved, she could see the person who knelt in a room, and she also understood that she had broken through the disaster that she couldn't escape today. Mu Ruoying pretended to be dying, opened her eyes with difficulty, but glanced at Ling'er firmly.

Ling'er immediately realized it and yelled like crazy.

"Someone. Miss Rescue. Miss, are you dying? Open your eyes and look at your servant! ”

Ling'er used the loudest voice in her life to summon the guests outside the courtyard to watch, although then those who knelt on the ground stood up to suppress her from making another sound, attracting the arrival of the lord and the lady, but the matter has come to this point, and the guests have come to this small courtyard.

Everyone saw the red and swollen handprints on Mu Ruoying's face, the maid who was covered by Mu Jingfei's subordinates, and Mu Jingfei's invincible appearance, so they knew it in their hearts.

"Is this really Miss Mufu? The legendary gentle and kind, beautiful and moving first beauty in the capital? ”

"It's really a vicious heart, can your own sister be so abused?"

"Is this how the daughter educated by the master of the Mu family treats her relatives like this?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

People are talking, Mu Ruoying's side courtyard today can be said to be very lively, and Mu Jingfei's face at this time has fear and timidity that cannot be hidden. Years of good business have been wiped out by today's slap in the face. There were two young ladies from the family who were shocked to see Mu Ruoying lying in a pool of blood, with fragments of glass on her elbows. slowly helped Mu Ruoying up, and went to the medical officer in the house to stop Mu Ruoying's bleeding.

Not long after, the medical officer did not arrive, but the eldest lady and Mu Jinghong came, the faces of their two elders were more wonderful than Mu Jingfei, looking at the full hall of guests who should have been sitting in the main hall to write poems, but now they came to Mu Ruoying's side courtyard to proclaim justice, they had to pretend to be light and perfunctory courtiers.

"The children are fighting, it is someone Mu who is not well disciplined. Let's go to the main hall first, and I will strictly discipline this year's new Biluochun. ”

When Mu Jinghong said this, he led the guests to the front hall to discuss the government, but just threw a look at the eldest lady. The eldest lady naturally knew that Mu Jinghong did not know how to treat Mu Ruoying on weekdays, no matter if he didn't ask, he didn't want to go against the eldest lady for Mu Ruoying, but today, all the courtiers in the house came to take care of the bad things in the Mu Mansion, and Mu Jinghong would never allow it. If the eldest lady insists on shielding Mu Jingfei, he will deal with it personally.

"Ruoying, the medical officer will be here soon, look at you, why are you so thin that you can't stand still?"

Mu Ruoying understood that the eldest lady suspected that today's farce was all planned by Mu Ruoying, but so what? Her own daughter was stupid and was taken advantage of, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Yes, Mother, I didn't stand still."

Mu Ruoying took all the reason and got the purpose she wanted, so she didn't say a word of much, and stayed out of the matter and looked at the inner turmoil of the two mothers and daughters.

"Eh, your face is red, I'll ask Zhao Mo to spread some powder for you later, go to tonight's celebration, when the time comes, you are definitely the most beautiful beauty." And this dress, Zhao Mo too, took such a plain piece to you, how can my Mu Mansion's daughter lose to others? Jingfei has two celebratory clothes, and I am happy to look at them, so let her bring them to you to try. ”

After the eldest lady finished speaking, she led Mu Jingfei, who was silent, out of the side courtyard, Mu Ruoying was finally happy, and today's farce of the day has finally been staged. As for Mu Jingfei's subsequent fate, I think tonight's celebration, the eldest lady originally wanted to be a matchmaker for her, to get in touch with the legendary Chu Lingran, who killed thousands of miles of enemies and held heavy troops, but now they have all become phantoms.

"Mother... Mother. ”

Mu Jingfei had just shaken his senses and realized what a stupid thing she had committed, and her mother's years of reputation management with her had been ruined by one of her impulses. How should she Mu Jingfei deal with herself in the capital in the future, not to mention Chu Lingran, who her mother hoped, if His Royal Highness King Qi, whom she admired since childhood, knew that she was like this, would she still be willing to marry her?

"You are such a fool, I let you learn Mu Ruoying on weekdays, where have you learned? Now that she has earned all the sympathy, she will be treated no differently from you, the eldest daughter, in the future. Are you happy now? ”

The eldest lady looked at the dull face, remembered Mu Ruoying's well-behaved and docile today, and only then did she understand that this second lady of the Mu family was by no means an idle person. It's not just that Mu Jingfei was used, but even she herself is just a foreshadowing for Mu Ruoying to achieve her goal, what a cunning mind, such a ruthless means. Today, Mu Ruoying really made a big move, and she must have taken action in tonight's celebration.

"Mother, will my father punish me?"

Mu Jingfei thought that now, only her mother can help her, she knows very well that Mu Jinghong doesn't love Mu Ruoying, and he won't love her. Mu Jinghong's most important right and the world, but because of her shame, how could Mu Jinghong spare her?

"No, he's afraid that after today, he will rebuild the Mu Mansion. And I can't be any Lord for you. ”

Indeed, Mu Ruoying also took another move, she gave Mu Jinghong a chance to strip He Xiyou of his rights in Mu Mansion and several armies in his hands, Mu Ruoying is not a kind and benevolent person, but she can't see unprovoked killing, she only hopes that in this way, Mu Mansion can be stained with less blood.

"Miss, did you let Ling'er make the tea on purpose?"

The room finally returned to the previous peace, and Ling Er endured the topic for an hour, and after looking at Mu Ruoying's mottled flesh and blood painted by the teacup several times, she finally couldn't help but ask questions.

Mu Ruoying looked at the elbow bandaged by the doctor and the gorgeous clothes and feathers sent by the eldest lady, the red dress fell to the ground, and with the light that appeared outside the bed corridor, it emitted a dazzling starlight, and the dragon and phoenix double auspicious appearance worn with gold and silver double threads on the waist pocket, and the bright red skirt and mist layers pulled people's heartstrings like a swaying flower. If it looks like an ordinary girl, she must be scolded and can't wait to put it on.

But all Mu Ruoying saw was that the people were hungry and hungry, and the homeless people outside the city wall only wanted to drink a bowl of hot porridge every day, but it was a celebration of clothes, just to be worthy of Mu Jingfei, who was worthy of the title of the first beauty in the capital, the gold, silver and craftsmanship created on this shirt were enough to feed the people of a county for a month.

"Ling'er, you've become smarter."

Mu Ruoying was quite satisfied with this girl's performance, she knew that this girl would not fall into clichΓ©s. I only followed her for a day, and I didn't say a word, but I could always guess her thoughts.

"But why bother, young lady? You.. Doesn't it hurt? ”

"Ling'er, those of us who have been abandoned by God in the boundless darkness but are dying, in order to get such a small benefit, we have to make unimaginable efforts to others. We still have a long way to go... It's long, long. ”

Mu Ruoying has spent sixteen years of her life to understand this truth, she has endured all the setbacks and sufferings one by one, and she has written down all the humiliations and sorrows. Mu Jinghong, He Xiyou, the whole world owes her Mu Ruoying, she wants to get it back one by one, today's banquet, she is finally going to take off that disguise and show her edge.

"Ling'er, let's change clothes."
