Xiaoguo was stunned when he heard this, then turned to Ruoyu's side, and laughed in a low voice: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

Ruoyu crawled up and sat up, sighed lightly, and said, "In this world, except for my father and mother and Bi Tao, you and Nuan'er treat me best!" Although we have only known each other for a few days, it feels like we have known you for a long time! ”

Xiaoguo said: "Brother Ji is also very good to you!" ”

Ruoyu shook his head and said: "He was really good to me before, but now, it's more like fulfilling an obligation, and I have already seen it." ”

Seeing that she had an indifferent attitude towards Ji Rufeng in advance, and there was no attachment at all, she couldn't help but enlighten: "Brother Ji's identity is destined to be difficult to put all his attention on his wife and children, compared to other men in the world, he is already very good!" ”

Ruoyu smiled slightly and said, "Xiaoguo, do you think I'm too greedy and insufficient?" Yes, for my sake, he is willing to go to danger to catch the giant python, and he is willing to fight against his father, what am I not satisfied with? However, I grew up with him since I was a child, and I know him too well! I can see every little thought of him! However, it is precisely because of this that I feel tired and tired! ”

She got up and sat down at the dresser, and continued: "I can see clearly that he is involved in dangerous hunting pythons, making everyone known, more to gain a reputation among the people; can see clearly, he contradicted the emperor, because he knew that this would be exchanged for the emperor's other treatment; I can see clearly that he knows that I am being framed, but he is still indifferent; can even see clearly, he knows that our child was victimized by Shi Weiwei, and he can still let her make waves! ”

Xiaoguo looked at Ruoyu in shock, it turned out that she knew everything!

Yes, everyone was confused by Ruoyu's weak appearance, but they forgot that she was a famous talented woman in the Drum Country, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how could such a smart woman not even see the frame-up that the maids around her could see through?

Xiaoguo opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Ruoyu took out a long brocade box from the drawer, looked back and beckoned to Xiaoguo: "Sister, come and take a look!" ”

Xiaoguo stayed down as he said and walked over.

The brocade box has been opened, and there are rows of delicate jewelry neatly placed inside, and Ruoyu pressed the mechanism, and two rows of wooden lattices popped up from both sides of the brocade box, and there were still rows of ornaments such as beaded hosta gold rings on it.

"What is this?" Xiaoguo was surprised.

"Every year on my birthday, he gives me a piece of jewelry, these are the birthday gifts he gave me before we met and got married!" Ruoyu took out a hosta at the bottom and said, "This is the first gift he gave me!" Sister, you see that this head has been cut a little more, and this side is a little slanted, how could the master of jade carving make such a mistake and leave this residue, just because he personally polished and carved it with a knife! ”

She stared at the hosta in her hand, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth: "In order to carve this hosta, he had countless wounds on his hands, and he couldn't hold the pen for more than two months, and the emperor didn't know why, and he punished him for it!" ”

She gently stroked the hosta and said, "The hairpin is carved crookedly, and the technique is also crude, but it is my favorite and most precious one!" ”

Then, Ruoyu picked up another one and said: "This golden hairpin was forged by him after three days of deadwood master, and this Zen wood bracelet was specially obtained by him who went to the Oolong Kingdom to pray for blessings......"

After introducing all the gifts one by one, Ruoyu closed the brocade box and put it back in the drawer.

Xiaoguo said strangely: "After you get married, Brother Ji won't give you a birthday gift?" ”

Ruoyu smiled bitterly: "What I gave away was just some things that seemed to be precious and could be bought with gold and silver casually, but I threw them into the warehouse!" ”

Xiaoguo sighed: "Ruoyu, why are you so persistent!" ”

Ruoyu's expression froze, and he suddenly smiled lowly: "Xiaoguo, I am looking at this with you to let you know that I have already given up that beautiful dream and seen all this!" ”

She got up and walked slowly, and continued: "It's just because I don't expect anything from him that I choose to turn a blind eye to everything, and I don't want to rob him!" I thought that in this way, I would be able to take my children and hide in the corner to live a peaceful life, but I was wrong! Couldn't be more wrong! ”

Suddenly, she paused, turned her head to look at Xiaoguo, and said with tears in her eyes: "Do you know? Before these things, I have always regarded Shi Weiwei as my own sister, and sometimes even pity her for not pleasing her husband, and persuade Rufeng to stay in her room! That time, I dug out the filthy thing from my room, and although there were all kinds of signs that she couldn't get rid of it, I still didn't want to believe that she did it! It was my soft-heartedness that made her fearless and eventually harmed my child! I can't even figure it out now, Shi Weiwei keeps calling me a sister, I ask myself if I treat her well, how can she be cruel to me like this?! That's my flesh and blood, my child! Pity him before he was born, because of his mother's stupidity, he was killed! I haven't even seen him before, so I don't think I'm worthy of being his mother! ”

"Ruoyu, people's kindness is right, and what is wrong is the vicious bad people there! Don't blame yourself anymore! Seeing that she was about to collapse, Xiaoguo handed her the handkerchief and persuaded her.

Ruoyu wiped away her tears, gradually stabilized her emotions, and sneered: "Yes, people can't be resurrected after death, and he won't come back to life if I blame myself!" That day, I heard Nuan'er say that there was musk in the incense box, and I had already guessed the truth of the matter! ”

Xiaoguo was shocked: "Is it possible, the man's clothes found in Concubine Shi's room are ......."

Ruoyu's eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, and she nodded: "I heard Qiu Tao inadvertently say that you deliberately revealed the news to Shi Weiwei and asked her to participate in the night banquet, so you made up an extra play for her!" As for what I said when I fainted later, the Huang Pavilion Master took my pulse for me, and I took advantage of his body to cover it, and secretly wrote it on the collapse with my fingers, and instructed him! It's okay to hurt me slightly, or to ruin my reputation, I can tolerate it! But she shouldn't have put her mind on my child! ”

Women are weak, but mothers are strong!

That night, Xiaoguo and Ruoyu chatted until late at night.

"Xiaoguo, do you think I'm cruel and terrible?" Finally, Ruoyu asked.

"No, people are good at being bullied, you are destined to live in the wolves and tigers' den, if you don't know how to fight back, how can you survive! Let the good have thorns! If it rains, you can do this, I'll be happy to see it! "Little fruit road.

Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "I thought that after saying all this, I would lose your friend, so I have been hesitating and hesitating for the past few days!" Xiaoguo, thank you for tolerating my evil! ”

"Ruoyu, I also thank you for your trust and honesty!"

Xiaoguo unconsciously took the hosta in his sleeve and played with it in his hand, carefully touched the fine nicks on it, and sighed in his heart: This should also be carved and polished by your own hands, right? It's just that you and I are destined to be inseparable!

She was happy and sad and sad in her heart, still looking at the shadow and self-pity, so she listened to Nuan'er's joyful cheers.

"Master, I can already see the junction stone between the Tympanum Kingdom and the Zhu Dan Kingdom!"

Xiao Guo leaned against the wall of the carriage, and looked out through the curtain she lifted, and saw a tall marble plaque flashing through the window.

In addition to taking this stone tablet a few zhang, another stone plaque was erected, far away from each other, and the four big characters of "Zhu Dan National Boundary" were vaguely distinguished.

The carriage continued to travel dozens of miles and entered the first city pass of Zhu Danguo.

Zhu Dan is known as the "Country of Food", and every small town here can taste dishes from all over the world!

After passing the inspection of the city gate, Ming Ze drove the carriage and slowly walked along the street.

Every few meters, you will pass by at least one or two restaurants.

It's lunch time, and the tempting aroma of rice wafts out from the restaurant, stimulating the taste buds of passers-by!

The three of them found a hotel to rest, asked the storekeeper, and learned that they could sign up for the food contest in this town, and today was the deadline.

The three of them all cried out for danger, and they didn't care about lunch, so they hurried to the place that Xiao Er said.

It used to be a grocery store, but later the owner did not run it properly and owed a lot of foreign debts and taxes, so he paid the goods to the creditor and paid the shop to the government.

The shop is about twenty or thirty square meters in size, and the shelves inside are still there, but the piles of goods on top have been replaced by stacks of record books.

The little brother in charge of registration was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was dozing off on the back of a wooden chair.

"Little brother, but here to sign up for the meal contest?" Xiaoguo and the three of them waited for a while, and saw that he was snoring like thunder, and there was no sign of waking up, so they had to shout.

The little brother was sleeping soundly, and he was faintly unhappy when he was disturbed, he glanced at the visitor with sleepy eyes, and said, "What are the names of the three of you?" ”

"My master's name is Ma Xiaoguo, my brother's name is Sima Mingze, and I am Hu Nuan'er!" Nuan Er replied crisply.

"Ma Xiaoguo, Sima Mingze, well, your name is Hu Nuan'er?" The little brother picked up the pen and pulled it on the paper, took out three brown notes from the drawer, and threw them on the table, "Okay, remember to gather in the hall next to the government tomorrow morning." ”

Xiaoguo saw him close the record book, put out a square sign with a "full name", and closed his eyes again, and hurriedly said: "That little brother, Nuan'er and I don't participate in the competition, only Mingze signed up alone!" ”

The little brother closed his eyes tightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" There are just three places left, so let's all try it, and everyone who attends will receive a commemorative kitchen knife! ”

"What time will we meet tomorrow morning?" Ming Ze asked as he grasped the point.

"It's not too late." The little brother said in a daze.

After saying this, he was already snoring like thunder.

The three of Xiaoguo looked at each other, all of them feeling a little powerless.

Xiaoguo picked up the paper on the table, saw a line written on it, and glanced at Nuan'er, who knew the most, suspiciously.

Under the ardent gaze of the master, Nuan'er read aloud: "Enter the competition with this thing!" ”

"Let's go! Let's find a place to eat first! Xiaoguo took the three pieces of paper into his arms, sighed, and walked out slowly.

The three of them looked for a home, and the restaurant where the business seemed to be booming, found a table in the corner and sat down.

Xiao Er came over with a teapot: "Guest officer, what to eat?" ”
