Chapter 175: Jade Slave (Medium)
Uncle Lin came to send a message to Qing Ruxu, saying that Qing Ruchu's family affairs were eyebrows. Originally, this matter should not be worried about a little lady who has not been out of the cabinet, but there is no housewife in the big house, and there are many hidden secrets in Qing Ruchu, which needs to be treated with caution.
Qing Ruxu quickly packed up and went to Song's house, and her right eyelid kept jumping along the way, always feeling that something was going to happen.
When I arrived at Song's house, there was already a mother-in-law waiting at the door, and the group entered the Weeping Flower Gate, and before they reached the main hall, they heard Song Ying's voice coming, and Qing Ruxu was surprised: "Cousin is back?" β
The mother-in-law replied with a smile: "My aunt is pregnant, I don't dare to move easily, I haven't come back for a long time, and now it's more than three months, and the fetus is sitting firm, so I passed the word early to come back to see, just now a cousin is coming, and my aunt and grandmother heard about it and rushed back today." β
Qingru Xu was very happy when she heard this, and quickly walked into the flower hall, and saw Song Ying and Lin talking next to each other, and when she came in, Song Ying smiled and stood up to greet her: "Cousin!" β
Lin looked at their sisters, their eyes full of smiles: "Xu Er, come here, look at your cousin, now she is a mother, and she is still so unstable!" β
Qing Ruxu joked to Song Ying: "My cousin is full of red light, I guess I have a good life at my husband's house." β
Song Ying rarely showed a look of shame: "He makes a fuss all day long, making the whole house unsafe, as if I am the peach on the queen mother's table, and I am about to disappear when I fall to the ground!" β
When Lin heard this, he became more and more satisfied with his son-in-law, and smiled without seeing his eyebrows.
The three of them talked about some family things, and the Lin family mentioned the family affair that Qing Ruchu had seen, and said: "In the Shaoqing Mansion of Honglu Temple, the second son Huang Minxing, have you heard of it?" β
Qing Ruxu thought for a while, "A little impression, how is the Huang family's style?" β
"You told me that the restless temperament of the second girl should find an honest person to live an honest life, so that she can avoid the wind and waves, I will inquire in many ways. The Huang family's official residence is a five-grade family, and it is a family that does not seek to be noble, and it looks good on the face of our marriage with his family, so that people will not say that it is not. The second son of the Huang family is honest and easy-going. He has little ambition, he does his duty, and he is not so soft that he is unprincipled, and it is most suitable to marry the second girl, such a suitable person, such a person, it is really difficult to find a lantern...... I'm afraid that the second girl will have a big heart and refuse to respond. β
"I can't help her, if the Huang family is really as my aunt said, it is really very suitable, and my father will not say anything."
"I think so too, the second girl will never stay in the Spring God Nunnery all the time, and outsiders will inevitably be suspicious when they see it."
Song Ying said on the side: "Then Huang Minxing, I don't know if I can subdue my second cousin, but don't be cheated by my second cousin." β
Lin said: "I'm not afraid of this, although Huang Minxing is honest, Mrs. Huang is a powerful person, and she is not afraid that she can't hold it down." β
Qingru Xu said: "If it can be done, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible, I will discuss it with my grandmother and father when I go back, and if there is no doubt, it will be settled." β
When Lin saw her appearance, he asked, "I saw that you were restless, what's wrong?" β
"I don't know, but I've always been a little uneasy these days, as if something is going to happen."
Qing Ruxu sat at Song's house for a while, and then planned to go home.
went out but changed his mind and asked the coachman to reroute to Huang's house.
The Huang family's house is not big, the faΓ§ade is decent, as her aunt said, it is an unassuming and noble family, she thought for a moment and said: "Bao'er, you want to find a way to inquire, where is the second son of the Huang family now, let's take a look." β
Bao'er is an idle person, and when she heard that there was an errand, she immediately got excited to do it.
She moved quickly, and in the time of a stick of incense, she felt the terrain of the Huang family's house clearly, and went to Huang Minxing's residence by the way to take a walk, and asked about today's whereabouts.
"Let's go."
The master and servant soon arrived at the teahouse where Huang Minxing and his classmates were located, Qing Ruxu changed into men's clothes in the carriage, and found a corner in the teahouse, and saw three young men of the same age talking and talking together.
Huang Minxing grew up in the capital, he is very familiar with all parts of the capital, he is a simple and enthusiastic character, today's friends first arrived in the capital, he did the east for friends to explain to friends which scenery in the capital is good, what kind of anecdotes, the three of them have a good conversation.
Qing Ruxu secretly stared at them in the corner and spoke.
Huang Minxing looks upright and delicate, an indigo blue gown, with a good texture but an ordinary style, a purse sachet and a white jade pendant hanging from his waist, the silk knot around his waist is not very neat, and the shoes are very clean, but they look half-old. It's true that his aunt said he doesn't pay much attention to his character, but he speaks very seriously, and it can be seen that he is genuinely interacting with friends, and he is an honest and upright character.
Qing Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the problem was not with him, but what was missing that made her feel uneasy?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
This prayer Ayaxue and Min Feng went down the steps, and they had arrived in front of the gate of the Spring God Nunnery, the gate was open, but there was no human voice in the hermitage, and it was a little lonely compared to the Great Pudu Temple, and only occasionally heard a few small birds chirping in the surrounding woods.
The gap in the bluestone steps in front of the door was covered with green and moist moss, and the two stepped on the steps to enter the hermitage. There was a nun sweeping the floor in the front hall who didn't have any special expression when she saw them coming in, but only gave a silent salute.
Qi Ayuki didn't ask a direct question and walked into the hall.
The front hall is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha with bent eyebrows and smiling eyes, through the front hall, the main hall is dedicated to the two Bodhisattvas such as Lai, Manjushri and Fuxian, pray for Ayaxue to worship one by one as usual, and then get up and go to the outside of the hall, the spring god nunnery is not too big, pray Ayaxue has asked people to inquire before coming, and easily found the small courtyard where Qing Ruchu lived alone.
Now Qing Ruchu is really a guest in the nunnery, and the prescription is not only the nuns in the nunnery who avoid her, but also makes her a lot freer, as long as she doesn't go out of the Spring God Nunnery, she can do whatever she wants, and no one cares.
When Qi Ayaxue walked to the door, a sharp-eyed nun came up and asked, "This donor, is there something wrong?" β
Min Feng was very excited, and had already inquired about the behavior of the nuns in the nunnery, took out a small ingot, one or two certain ingots from her purse, and stuffed it into her hand, and said: "Our girl is an old friend with the people living in this courtyard. β
The little nun accepted the silver ingots and let them in, anyway, as long as Qing Ruchu did not come out of the Spring God Nunnery.
Qing Ruchu was lazily lying in the sun under the apricot blossom tree in the yard, she heard the movement, turned her head to look, but saw two unfamiliar faces.
Qing Ruchu frowned slightly, got up from the recliner, and said unhappily: "Who are you?" How do you just come in here? β
Qi Ayaxue smiled slightly, looked Qing Ruchu up and down, and said, "The second girl is beautiful and fragrant, are you willing to spend your time here?" β
Qing Ruchu's eyes suddenly became vigilant: "Who are you?" β
Seeing that Qing Ruchu was like a frightened rabbit, Qi Ayaxue suddenly felt that her guess was correct, Qing Ruchu was definitely locked up here! She said tentatively: "I have heard Miss Qing talk about this, so I passed by today and came to visit, I was abrupt, don't mind the second girl." β
When Qing Ruchu heard Qi Ayaxue mention Qing Ruxu, her eyebrows stood up unconsciously. "Qing Ruxu?"
When she saw her calling Qing Ru by her name, she laughed secretly, if they really turned their faces! So he said tentatively again: "Second Miss Qing don't have to be nervous, I am not a person with her." β
"It's not all the way...... Qing Ruchu was puzzled, but her face obviously eased. What exactly do you mean? β
"Miss Qing is a fierce and unforgiving person, and I have suffered a lot in her hands. I heard that the second girl was also restrained by her, and when she passed by the Spring God Nunnery today, she couldn't help but come in and talk to you and talk to each other. β
"You...... Who the hell is it? β
Qi Ayaxue no longer shied away at this time, and said clearly: "I am the county lord of Qi Wangfu, have you ever heard of it?" β
"Lord Qi?" Qing Ruchu used to be mixed among the nobles in Beijing, so she naturally knew who the lord of Qi County was. "...... you," she was surprised and a little puzzled, "You are the Lord of Qi County, but you were also bullied by Qing Ruxu?" β
"That sister of yours is solid and scheming, and I have no grievances with her, just because I am a little hypocritical with her fiancΓ©, she has calculated against me several times."
"FiancΓ©...... Is she married to Jiang Rin? β
"What, you don't know yet?" Qi Ayaxue showed a sarcastic smile: "She is proud of the spring breeze outside and marries a good husband, and you, the daughter of the dignified lord, can't see anyone in this small nunnery......"
Qing Ruchu's face sank.
Qi Ayaxue said again: "I heard that your biological sister has a very good relationship with her now, just like you did at the beginning. β
"Phew!" Qing Ruchu took a sip fiercely: "That dog thing that eats inside and out!" β
Qi Ayaxue was stunned by her rude behavior, glanced at Min Feng, and had a new understanding of Qing Ruchu in her heart, is this still the noble girl who everyone praised and befriended at the beginning?
"I'm afraid the second girl doesn't know, Qing Ruxu has entrusted your family affairs to your uncle Lin, and she will definitely be able to settle her family affairs in the near future."
"What you say is true? Are they going to betroth me? "Qing Ru was happy at first, and then there was a chill in my heart." Is it Qing Ru Xu Zhang Luo? Why did she talk about my family, even if I didn't have a mother, but also my father and grandmother......"
Qi Ayaxue naturally didn't say anything else to her, only said: "Perhaps, I want to hold your family affairs in my hands, now the Qing family is looking forward to the eldest girl, Lord Qing and Mrs. Qing have spoiled her since she was a child, and it will not go against her will easily, presumably, the festival between you must be not small?" β
Qing Ruchu's face turned blue, "...... them How can you treat me like this, even my relatives have to be manipulated by Qing Ruxu, I thought ...... I thought it was ......"
"I thought that if you stayed here honestly for a while, and when your father arranged a good marriage for you, you would be able to marry with peace of mind? Scold...... The lord of this county really pities you......"
Qi Ayaxue's mocking smile pierced into Qing Ru's heart, and she looked at her with heavy eyes: "So, the county lord didn't come today to say a few cool words, anyway, what are you doing?" β
