Calculation (1)
In a house in the easternmost part of Nanpingli.
"Brother, do you think what you said in this letter is true or false?" Ruan Lanjing, the girl who had just walked into the hall, asked her brother.
Ruan Xiangchang touched the mark left by the seal on the paper with his fingers, with a strong fragrance of flowers. "Yes, it must be, we have to fight for our identity." ”
Ruan Lanjing curled her hair with her hand and sneered, "Brother, what about the Shen family who came to kiss today?"
Ruan Xiangchang sneered coldly, and snorted to the side, "I'm sorry, there is the Ruan family in the capital Houfu, and the Shen family is not even an ant." We are the bloodline of the Ruan family, and we are the bloodline of this noble Houfu, and the hard days of these ten years are coming to an end. ”
Ruan Xiangchang's mother, Ho, who was weak on the side. She said softly, "Son, when you were a child, I asked a fortune teller to calculate, you are not a noble life, you have a dull life, and the rest of your life is carefree." Why do you have such a heavy utilitarian heart on your back?"
Ruan Xiangchang flipped the table angrily, stepped forward and pinched He's jaw and said fiercely, "If you didn't seek fame all your life, how could the two of us be so downcast?"
He sighed reluctantly, but he was unwilling to give up the Shen family, Shen Hui is a good man, although his family background is ordinary, he has a good heart that is loyal to others. The children in front of her were bewildered by the beautiful vision depicted by the down-and-out Chen Ping, and she could not afford to watch them fall into this whirlpool.
She broke free of her son's hand and desperately tried to hit his head against the south wall, trying to use her injury to remind him not to fall into this prosperous dream. was dragged by a big cold hand, "Mother, you can't die yet, you still have to give your two children a noble name." Ruan Xiangchang seemed to be gentle, but in fact smiled at her threateningly. She went limp, slumped on the floor tiles, in pain and despair.
"Mother really wants you well, you know?"
Ruan Xiangchang looked down at the small words on the letter, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Of course, mother." ”
Poor and lowly mourning, these five words suddenly appeared in Ruan Xiangchang's mind, and it has become a lingering nightmare in his life.
"Miss, this Nanping has really moved. Wu Yang said to the young lady.
Ruan Ying was embroidering well, and when she heard the news, she was so happy that she couldn't even touch the embroidery needle. "After pulling out the radish and the land is wide, I used to be most happy to watch such a farce, and the qi of Ruan Mansion must be related to this Chen Ping and Nanping. ”
Wu Yang listened to it clearly, and said, "The recent situation of the Great Song Dynasty is not good, and the king of Rui, Shen Mingyuan, has broken through the Northern Fierce Youzhou, and the public opinion is very high. Your Majesty is in good health, and he is bound to suppress King Rui's faction, and Xiangguo will not easily agree, and he will definitely order people to make trouble and deal another blow to King Kang's reputation, Miss ....... ”
Ruan Ying's eyes were blazing, he smiled softly, and his white jade-like face showed a hint of nostalgia, "Since I was a child, he has often faced the front alone many times, blocking all kinds of dangers from anywhere for me. ”
The needle and thread were gently loosened, and she began to carefully rethread the needle again. "The last thing I lack is patience, in a few days there will be an annual envoy from the three countries to visit, and according to his temperament, he will come. ”
In this moment of beauty and tranquility, there are always people who want to make trouble. Chen Ping suddenly appeared in front of Ruan Ying with a pastry, dressed in low-key black, and his voice was unacceptable, "Sister Ying, I'll bring you something to eat." ”
"Sister Ping really has a heart. "Ruan Ying is not salty or indifferent. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Wu Yang who was on the tree outside the window.
She walked in, her movements extremely light. "Sister Ying, I want to talk to each other today. ”
"Talk?" Ruan Ying didn't believe her nonsense, and quietly looked around, Xiaobei went to the warehouse to get monthly supplies, and there was no maid by her side, seeing that she looked sneaky, there must be a plan.
Ruan Ying had a general understanding in her heart, and smiled softly on her face, "What does my sister want to say?" and then covered her mouth with her sleeve, "I'm a little sleepy." ”
Chen Ping lowered his head and sent the pastry in his hand to Ruan Ying, "Today's matter is something that you must never tell others. Please take a bite of this cake first, this story is long, please eat some pastries to raise some interest. ”
Ruan Ying lowered her eyes and smiled secretly, "Really, that sister is really interested." ”
She reached out and took a piece of it, and gently took a small bite of the pastry in Chen Ping's anxious and longing eyes.
As soon as she swallowed it, she felt dizzy, but in the blink of an eye, she had taken the pill without eating by pretending to yawn. The food is pushed back into the mouth. She knew that this was **, although the person who unlocked the medicine was sober, she still pretended to be **, and fell down on the table.
Chen Ping curled the corners of his lips proudly, "Sister Ruan Ying, you are so bitter, you should help me that day." If you stand by and watch, I can only take revenge. ”
"But sister, lend me your things first. She smirked, looked around at the top-of-the-line configuration in this room, and walked towards the golden phoenix porcelain with a surprised expression, "This is the porcelain in the palace of the previous dynasty." She touched it carefully again, and saw that the palace seal was neat, and it was a thing in the palace.
She looked around again, and saw that it was not difficult to see such treasures, large and small. His heart trembled with jealousy, "The maid of the Houfu has so many treasures, and I have always been in the Houfu." Yes, only when I get the chapter can I make the eldest lady promise that I will always be in the waiting house. ”
Ruan Ying picked in his heart, "It turns out that there is still something about the eldest lady." ”
Coincidentally, Ruan Yingkankan finished writing a letter, and the letter was still on the table. Chen Ping's eyes are powerful, so he naturally found it quickly. She carefully picked up the medal, took a few small gems from the statue on the side, picked up the drugged pastry, and hurried back to her yard.
Ruan Ying sat up slowly, her eyes were quiet, "What does this eldest lady want to do? I still have more than three months to reach the age of talking about marriage." ”
Wu Ping jumped into the window from the tree, and carefully counted how many small gems were deducted, "Tell Miss, there are five gem eyes that she took away, but it costs 5,000 yuan." ”
Ruan Ying glanced at him lightly, "Little money." ”
"Yes. ”
"I'm going out today, and I'm going to call Keshu to come here and pretend to be me for a while. ”
"Yes. ”
Ruan Ying rubbed her eyes gently, looking lazy like a kitten. "Chen Ping, dare to calculate me, I will count you to death. ”
A small carriage was waiting outside the house, and when Wu Ping saw that the sedan chair had arrived, he hurriedly came to tell her. Ruan Ying is also dressed up in disguise, wearing plain and plain white clothes, which is the most common dress of the people in Kyoto. But she was dressed, and she did have the youthful aura of a small jasper, Wu Ping was a little stunned on the side, Ruan Ying walked towards him, "Brother Wu, are you still in a daze?"
Wu Ping bowed his head and confessed, "Girl, get ready to get into the carriage." ”
Ruan Ying jumped lightly onto the flower tree on the side, jumped to the courtyard wall, and then jumped to the side of the carriage. The coachman was unconscious and was in a daze, when he heard Ruan Ying's cold voice, "Let's go, go to Muyin Pavilion." ”
The carriage drove slowly, but the rolling wheels would still make people sit on a shock, Ruan Ying urinated on the carriage unbearable, and the slightest bump would make her feel nauseous and want to vomit.
"Stop. ”
"But ....... The groom said again and again that there was still a long way to go.
But seeing Ruan Ying open the curtain and jump out of the carriage by himself, he glanced at him lightly, "You still go towards Mu Yin Pavilion, the distance is not far, I will be able to get there soon." ”
"Yes. The coachman did not dare to say anything, so he could only keep his horse on his way.
The carriage stopped in a small and clean alley, surrounded by old houses of blue bricks. As she walked forward, she saw a sudden change in the weather, as if it was going to rain lightly. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of bronze medals crashing against each other behind him.
She put on her hat with a thin fox fur cape, and turned her head warily to see that the alleyway was still empty. There is no corridor, and it can still be booked in the house, she quickly looked up, and sure enough, there was a figure in Tsing Yi falling from the sky.
She hurriedly took two steps back, and saw the man holding an oil-paper umbrella, and he couldn't see his face clearly. There was a hint of unspeakable longing in the laughter. "Ruan Ying, I've finally waited for you. ”
The man gradually lifted the oil-paper umbrella, revealing the face of Fu Fan He Lang. His eyes burned with desire, and he walked into her with thoughts in his mouth, "Ruan Ying, I'm Luo Hong, Luo Sikong's sister-in-law, do you know me?"
Ruan Ying looked at him coldly, and as he walked step by step, he stepped back step by step, "What if you know?"
His eyes were gentle and confused, "I like you so much, the first thing I took a fancy to at last year's Hundred Flowers Banquet was you." ”
Ruan Ying looked at his strange eyes, a little uneasy in his heart, but still said in a steady voice, "Then what do you want to do now?"
Luo Hongxiang was suddenly stepped on the violent point, rushed up, and the oil-paper umbrella was thrown aside by him. He grabbed Ruan Ying's slender arm and restrained her from breaking free. "I told my parents that I wanted to marry you, but they didn't allow it, I like you too much. Your face and quiet personality always make me want to protect you. Be my woman, okay?"
At this time, in Ruan's Mansion, Mrs. Guo received the news from Luo Hong's attendant, and she was secretly proud in her heart, "This Ruan Ying is also going to have a good husband." ”
Ruan Shengrong didn't quite understand what he was listening to, "Good husband, where did you start with your mother?"
Mrs. Guo's beautiful face showed a hint of mockery, "This Luo Hong likes Ruan Ying like fascinated, and today Chen Ping went to her to steal the private seal." All we have to do is forge a private message. The rest is a matter of course. ”
Ruan Shengrong stammered dumbfounded, "Isn't this the meaning of fornication?"
Mrs. Guo indifferently followed the kitten in her hand and said lightly, "For her, the only way to climb the Sima family is this, too lazy this Luo Hong is an infatuated species, let him go, it is a blessing for the girl." ”
Under the drizzle, Luo Hong became more and more excited the more he talked at this time. His eyes widened, pouring out his admiration, and seeing that Ruan Ying was not moved in the slightest, he let go of his hand fiercely, "Are you unmoved?" ”
Ruan Ying opened the hairpin that she deliberately wore on her head, and the wind blew through her hair that was not so tight after it was scattered, and there was a kind of messy beauty.
"Master Luo, I advise you not to mess around. ”
There was a sound of carriages in the distance, Luo Hong didn't hear it because he was upset, but Ruan Ying was different, now she couldn't kill Luo Hong, and she couldn't hurt him at all. This will not only expose her identity, but also expose her private outing. But it must not be left to his dirty intentions.
The sound of the carriage in the distance became more and more intense, and Ruan Ying was afraid that the people sitting in the carriage would see this scene and would help him make this reputation a reality.
"Ruan Ying, listen, there is the sound of carriages, if others see you and me together, you are mine. His eyes were gradually filled with desire, and Qingming was already cloudy.
He rushed towards Ruan Ying, and the carriage slowly drove past the entrance of this alley at this moment. Perhaps I heard a voice from the end, and the curtain of the carriage was opened by a slender hand, revealing a pair of dark eyes as black as the night, as if with a small smile.
"Who is it?" Luo Hong asked coldly, he was terrified in his heart, hoping that he would not be too powerful, someone too powerful for the Sima family to control. But looking at how many people in the entire capital have such ability? Today, Ruan Ying would not be so lucky to meet such a person.
