Chapter 424: Bitter Mouth
"Auntie, I know that you are kind and generous, so you can pity me and help me."
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. Zhu's face was very ugly.
Regardless of whether she has the heart to help or not, she should panic when she is forced by her juniors to do Zhang Luo's family affairs like this.
Zhao Ruyu only stood aside and was silent. Seeing Zhu's face, she hurriedly persuaded Zhao Rurui: "Fourth sister, don't be like this. Didn't my aunt just say that? It's not that she doesn't agree, it's just that because her grandmother is sick, she can't go to the banquet. ”
Who knew that Zhao Rurui shook Zhao Ruyu's hand and yelled at her: "You want to pretend to be a good person?" You don't have to rush. But I ......" roared here, and her tears fell.
In the past, Zhao Ruyu was the second-room concubine, and she was a concubine, so she had to hold her tail to please Zhao Ruyu.
But now that Zhao Ruyu has become the adopted daughter of the second room, and she herself is Zhao Yuanliang's biological daughter, and Aunt Xue is still in charge of the house, Zhao Rurui's arrogance suddenly went up. It's just that in the second room, Zhao Jingli was restrained, and Zhao Jingan also protected Zhao Ruyu, but Zhao Rurui didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Ruxi.
But now seeing that the Zhu family didn't agree, and Zhao Ruyu was still standing on the side and talking without backache, Zhao Rurui finally couldn't help but get angry at Zhao Ruyu.
Zhao Ruyu stared at Zhao Rurui, and the clenched fist skull turned white. She bit her lip and held back.
Zhu Shi looked at the two of them, and his expression was already impatient: "I said it, the old lady is not in good health, and I don't plan to participate in this year's banquet." I don't participate in it myself, how can I take you there? ”
What Zhao Yuanxun said to Zhao Yuanliang, she also said to Zhao Rurui in a serious manner just now, but this kid is so ambitious, he always wants to catch a golden beetle son-in-law like Zhao Ruyu, and wants to try his luck at the banquet.
She said: "Those sons of the family look good on the outside, but who knows what is going on the inside? The family has a large population and many contradictions. If you take more concubines, the days to come will be a miasma. I think it's better to pick a new jinshi or a person with a solid family background and a simple population. As long as you two are diligent and capable, you will definitely be able to live a good life. ”
"And these new jinshi or young people don't go to the banquet. Your father will need to ask someone slowly. Instead of grinding me here, thinking of going to the banquet of the Naraushzi, you should beg your father. ”
After saying this, Zhu didn't want to stay here anymore, she stood up: "I'll go and see the old lady, you can do it yourself." He walked out.
Zhao Rurui didn't believe Zhu's words at all. She hurriedly chased a few steps and shouted at Zhu's back: "The fifth sister is also older, doesn't the eldest aunt think about the fifth sister?" ”
Zhu paused, turned around, and looked at Zhao Rurui's gaze becoming more and more cold.
She said: "She has suffered a lot before, and I want to keep her at home for two more years to live a comfortable life, and I will not discuss marriage for the time being." She didn't stay any longer, and went straight into the old lady's house.
Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Rurui glanced at each other, and then turned their heads away.
Zhao Rurui thought about it, simply went out of the side hall, asked the maid under the corridor about Zhao Ruxi's residence, and led the maid straight to Xiuzhu Courtyard.
Seeing this, Fu Shu couldn't help but call Zhao Ruyu: "Girl, let's ...... Do you want to go to the five girls too? ”
Zhao Ruyu hesitated and did not move.
The easy-to-talk Zhu family has such an attitude, how could Zhao Ruxi, who has always been unapologetic to them, respond to her request? Why would she bother to be bored?
"Didn't you say that you want to make Mrs. Pingnanhou have a better impression of you at the banquet?" Fu Shu said again.
The biggest obstacle for Zhao Ruyu and Fu Yunlang is Mrs. Pingnanhou. If she can make a good impression on Mrs. Pingnanhou at the banquet, and even please her, then her marriage will not be a problem.
And with the years she spent with Mrs. Pingnanhou in her previous life, she thought she still knew Mrs. Pingnanhou very well. Do what she likes, please her, as long as she is willing to do it, she thinks there should be no problem.
But if she can't even go to the banquet, how can she please Mrs. Nanhou?
So for these banquets at the end of this year, Zhao Ruyu is bound to go.
Zhu didn't go, she was more anxious than Zhao Rurui in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Zhao Ruyu actually didn't have to ask the Zhu family, she could go to the banquet if she wanted to. After all, she is a student at the Beijing Women's Academy, and she has also made friends with several noble girls.
These noble ladies are going to hold a banquet at home, and it is reasonable for her to go to the banquet in the name of her classmates when the time comes.
It's just that Mrs. Pingnanhou has always been unlikable, and those family ladies and nobles may not say it on the surface, but who doesn't look down on Mrs. Pingnanhou inside?
If Zhao Ruyu attended the banquet through her classmates, but intended to befriend Mrs. Pingnanhou and be known by her classmates, she would probably be ostracized in the academy in the future.
In addition, the old lady was sick, and Zhu and Zhao Ruxi did not go to the banquet, and even if Zhao Ruyu went, she would be gossiped about.
Even if the family is separated, she can be regarded as the granddaughter of the old lady. Zhao Ruxi was sick at home, but she went to the banquet, which is unfilial no matter how you say it.
Now that the Zhu family is dead or alive, Zhao Ruyu is also at a loss.
She finally went to Zhao Ruxi's yard.
Zhao Ruxi was painting, and when she saw Zhao Rurui coming in, all kinds of nice words were thrown at her as if she didn't want money, and she had a headache.
"Fourth sister, don't say it. My grandmother was sick, and my mother and I couldn't really attend the banquet. Zhao Ruxi sighed.
Because I didn't go to the banquet, the marriage of the four children in the second room, after dinner in the past two days, the three elders all mentioned that for Zhao Rurui's marriage, everyone unanimously felt that it was best to marry a new jinshi.
Zhao Ruxi was thoughtful, and guessed that Zhao Rurui couldn't ask for the Zhu family, and she was unwilling to marry a new jinshi, so she wanted to find a breakthrough here.
She was also impatient to talk to Zhao Rurui, and said directly: "Fourth sister, if you want to say it, my mother told you." If you don't listen, I can't help it. ”
"I'll tell you straight. I don't want to talk about marriage for the time being, so I don't plan to attend this year's banquet. It just so happened that my grandmother was ill, so my mother didn't plan to go. It's useless for you to beg me. ”
Zhao Rurui was choked by her.
Seeing Zhao Ruyu coming in later, Zhao Ruxi said again: "Ruyu, instead of being like a headless fly, you might as well participate in the piano skills competition at the end of the year." If you can get a place, wouldn't it be better than anything else? ”
She glanced at Zhao Rurui: "In the final analysis, women still have to stand up first." Look at me, what am I better than you? If I didn't have the art of drawing, I would have to stay at home like you now, and I wouldn't be able to do anything. ”
"But what about now? I relied on my own painting method to get an errand in the court, earned some silver, and also gained a certain status. To put it bluntly, most of the invitations to the good banquets that can be accepted in the house now are because of me. ”
"If you bloom, butterflies will come; If you are wonderful, the sky will arrange it. 's own conditions are not enough, but I always want to marry someone with good conditions...... "This is trying to eat fart."
