Chapter 239: I'll Help You
Jiang Ruofu was just about to go out to the school, but someone stopped the door.
Jiang Ruofu asked curiously,
"What are these boxes doing here?"
Ming Sheng was puzzled, and hurriedly found a maid and asked.
She trotted back,
"Miss, I'm afraid someone is going to come to the house today to propose marriage."
Jiang Ruofu asked,
"To whom?"
Ming Shengdao,
"I don't know yet, I'm afraid it's just moving things now, and people haven't come yet."
Jiang Ruofu doesn't want to care about these idle things,
"Let's go to the academy first."
Before he arrived at the school, the carriage stopped halfway, and Jiang Ruofu lifted the curtain and said,
"Why did it stop?"
"Miss, this horse doesn't seem to be working."
Ming Shengdao,
"What then?"
"Miss, there is still half an hour to go to class, the first class is Mr. Gu's class, if you are late, you will definitely be reprimanded."
Jiang Ruofu lifted the curtain and looked around,
"It's not far from the school, if you walk, it must take you a quarter of an hour, far less than half an hour."
Jiang Ruofu lifted the curtain and got out of the car, the sun was too strong, she stretched out her hand to block her eyes.
Ming Sheng followed and got out of the carriage with the bookcase.
Jiang Ruofu saw that there was a bookstore where the carriage stopped,
"Walk over now, even if it's slow, there must be more than enough time, so it's better to go to the bookstore and buy a book first."
Jiang Ruofu slightly covered her eyes to block the strong sunlight.
Walked into the bookstore, there were a lot of people inside, Qingyun Academy and Jiang's Academy, as well as a few other lesser-known academies were all on this road, presumably all students who came to buy books on the way.
Jiang Ruofu walked around casually, and there were curtains made of wire hanging on the quaint bookshelves, like Fuyuan River lamps.
Many of the books have some margins, presumably deliberately released for people to read.
Bogu stands high to the dome, and yellow lamps hang from the roof.
Jiang Ruofu passed by the shelf where the portrait was placed, but he didn't find that there was a picture of Luo Shen's advent on the shelf.
Blue Bridge Spring Snow Yunying, a waist light bundle, pure and dusty above the other picture scrolls, was hung on the top.
And the face that is the same as the picture scroll passes by the picture scroll.
Jiang Ruofu picked up the book he wanted and was about to go to the front to take a look, but across the bookshelf, he heard someone arguing in a low voice.
And that voice, she actually felt extremely familiar.
"Gu Yuling, what a coincidence, I also want this book, but what should I do if I only have this one?"
Jiang Ruofu stood next to the bookshelf.
"Chan Kite, I'm your sister, how can you call me by my name?"
Gu Chan Yuan sneered,
"Sister? I have lived for fifteen years, and I have never known what sister I have, if you are really my sister, you are the righteous and upright lady of the Gu Mansion, why didn't you return to the mansion for the first seventeen years? ”
"Oh, I forgot, you are hard by nature, your father and mother don't like you, it's not that you don't come back, but you can't come back, your father and mother don't want you, and now that you're back, you're just a dog wagging your tail and begging for mercy."
Gu Yuling forbearantly said,
"Chan Kite, no matter what you say, it's fine, but you already have this book, why buy another one? But if I don't have this book, I will be rebuked by my husband today, this is the last bookstore I run, I beg you, give me this book. ”
Gu Yuling deliberately lowered her voice, but Jiang Ruofu could still hear it clearly across the bookshelf, and Jiang Ruofu was very familiar with the forbearance and compromise in her words.
Jiang Ruofu felt a wave of sympathy for no reason, because it was too similar, and he had compassion.
He walked away without taking a step.
Gu Chankite said sarcastically,
"That's your attitude of begging?"
"You keep saying that you are the eldest lady of the Gu family, but the Gu family is a regular family, your father is the head of Jiuqing, and the etiquette officer is an example, why don't you understand etiquette at all?"
Gu Yuling said with tears in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice,
"And what do you want from me?"
Gu Chan Kite looked around,
"It just so happens that there are few people around the bookshelf here, why don't you kneel for me, beg me, I'll give you this book, otherwise if you go to the academy today, I'm afraid you will be pulled out by Mr. and executed in public."
"Do you say it's better to lose face in front of me alone, or in front of the entire academy?"
Gu Chankite held the book and provoked arrogantly,
"Gu Yuling, you have to choose quickly, it's only half an hour before the time for class, let's solve it quickly, and don't add another charge of being late."
Gu Yuling held her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and tears swayed in her eyes.
The scene of being punished in front of everyone in the academy is still vivid.
Jiang Ruofu also unconsciously clenched the book in his hand.
During this period, Huai Liu pleaded with each other, and already knelt on the ground and kowtowed for Gu Yuling.
But Gu Chankite was unmoved.
Gu Yuling quickly wiped away her tears, pulled up the willow, and looked around, as if she was about to kneel.
Jiang Ruofu immediately rushed out from the other end of the bookshelf and grabbed Gu Yuling,
Cannot!
Gu Yuling was stopped, her knees hung in the air, and Jiang Ruofu hurriedly helped her.
Gu Chan Yuan saw that her prank was about to succeed, and someone wanted to make trouble, and said angrily,
"Who are you?"
Jiang Ruofu stabilized Gu Yuling and said lightly,
"I am the second daughter of the Jiang family, and Jiang Ruofu, the youngest daughter of the internal history."
Jiang Ruofu found that Gu Yuling's hand was shaking uncontrollably, and she held Gu Yuling's hand tightly to prevent her from showing her timidity.
Gu Chanyuan rolled her eyes,
"I've never heard of Jiang Ruofu."
The maid next to her anxiously reminded Gu Chankite, Gu Chankite's face changed, and she said in a low voice,
"Really?"
The maid nodded hurriedly.
Gu Chan Yuan glanced at Jiang Ruofu from top to bottom, she didn't see it clearly at the gate of the palace last time, it turned out that this was the noble girl who was extremely favored by the Queen Mother!
She had planned to win over before, but she didn't expect this young lady to have two names, and she couldn't remember the two names clearly.
Gu Chan Kite looked at Jiang Ruofu,
It's her!
Gu Chan Kite immediately changed her face and said affectionately,
"Why is my sister here?"
Jiang Ruofu wanted to have a cold face, but after all, this was Gu Yuling's family matter, and seeing Gu Chanling like this was also a lot of bullying Gu Yuling, if she rashly attacked Gu Chanling now, I was afraid that Gu Yuling would not be happy to go back.
So Jiang Ruofu smiled and whispered,
"Let's find a copy of "The Legend of Liang""
Jiang Ruofu sighed again,
"It's just that I've searched many bookstores, but I can't find this book, but it won't be long before I have to go to class, and I guess I will be punished by my husband again this time."
Gu Chanyuan looked at the book in her hand, isn't this God helping her, the last book in the last bookstore on this street is in her hand.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Gu Chan smiled happily and handed the book to Jiang Ruofu,
"Sister, look, we really have fate, isn't it "The Legend of Liang" in my hand."
Gu Yuling's eyes were red,
"......"
Jiang Ruofu also took it with a smile and said in surprise,
"That's what I wanted, thank you so much, sister."
"It's just that the sister must have uncomfortable legs and feet, can't stand, and the summer night is cold, if she suffers from the cold, I'm afraid she will fall ill."
Jiang Ruofu let go of Gu Yuling at the right time.
Gu Yuling has already gained a firm foothold, and he can stand firm without Jiang Ruofu secretly supporting him.
Gu Chanyuan saw that Jiang Ruofu had misunderstood, it turned out that this ** sister thought that Gu Yuling was going to fall because her legs and feet were inconvenient, instead of kneeling down to her, it was really a clumsy coincidence, and she didn't need to think of a reason to explain.
"That's natural, I will definitely give my sister a good conditioning when I go back."
Gu Chan smiled at Gu Lingling gently.
But it's all hypocrisy.
Jiang Ruofu nodded and borrowed,
"If it's fate, the next time I see my sister, I must thank my sister, but now that time is in a hurry, I have to go to the school first."
"Thank you sister for giving up this book, I'm really grateful."
Gu Chanyuan still wanted to introduce herself, but she didn't expect Jiang Ruofu to pay the bill directly and leave.
"What a waste of opportunity, I could have said my name and handed it over directly into a handkerchief."
But it was obvious that Gu Chanling was in a good mood, just glanced at Gu Yuling and passed by, and the words passed by Gu Yuling's ears lightly.
"Some people are really beyond their means."
Gu Yuling clenched his sleeves.
Huailiu hummed,
"What should I do about Miss, I must be punished by Mr. again this time, I am afraid that everyone has not forgotten the incident of being beaten in public last time, and now if there is another incident, I am afraid that the master will really not let you study in the academy."
Gu Yuling tried to take back her tears,
"It's just a book, it's fine."
"Let's go to the academy first, we can't be late anymore if we run out of books."
Jiang Ruofu passed through the bookshelves,
"Who says there are no books?"
Jiang Ruofu raised the "Legend of Liangliang" that had been wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Gu Yuling.
Gu Yuling's tears stopped, and he looked at Jiang Ruofu in great surprise,
"Jofer......
Jiang Ruofu stuffed the book into Gu Yuling's arms,
"Sister Lingering, don't you need this book?"
"Take it with you if you need it."
Gu Yuling hesitated,
"But you just said that you also..."
Jiang Ruofu said calmly,
"That's where I lied to her."
Gu Yuling is obviously a girl with solid eyes, seeing that Jiang Ruofu and Gu Chanyuan are smiling and smiling, she thought that Jiang Ruofu really intended to befriend Gu Chanyuan, but she didn't expect this answer at once,
"Huh?"
Jiang Ruofu took a handkerchief and wiped the tears off her face.
"Although I am not familiar with you, but when I was in a small time, Sister Ling knew me, and did not despise me because I was born lowly, but cared about the friendship of Pingshui meeting, and handed me a post for the flower banquet, so that I could use this flower banquet to do what I wanted to do, now I am not yesterday, and naturally I can't forget the kindness that my sister remembered me in the past."
Gu Yuling held the book, and there was still the residual temperature of Jiang Ruofu on it, as if it could be integrated into her heart through her cold fingertips.
Jiang Ruofu said calmly,
"The first beauty in Chang'an, the eldest lady of the Gu family, no matter what it looks like in the eyes of outsiders, you have really owned it, and you are really beautiful, generous, and have a good family background. Why should you feel inferior in front of your sister-in-law? ”
Gu Yuling lowered his eyes,
"It's not that I have low self-esteem, it's just that as you can see, I do have an average status in the house, and my father and mother are not very close to me, although I came back from Jiangnan, the people in the house are still alienated from me, for fear that I will overcome them."
"I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, it's not easy for me to come back like this, and I can naturally endure the things next to me, and my father and mother won't make decisions for me when they know it, but they just understate the past, and over time, my sister will become more and more arrogant."
"That's why you see what you see today."
Jiang Ruofu clenched her cold hand,
"Holding back is not a long-term solution."
"If you want to really survive, you must start planning early."
Gu Yuling just burst into tears,
"But I don't have anything else to do but swallow my anger now."
Jiang Ruofu felt compassion,
"I'll help you."
Gu Yuling hesitated,
"But..."
Jiang Ruofu just said warmly,
"I've swallowed my anger too, maybe I've been swallowing it longer than you, but a few months ago, someone suddenly said to me that swallowing my anger is not a long-term solution."
The events at that time were vivid, and Jiang Ruofu's heart trembled,
"I had already planned to endure it for a while, but he took the first step to help me achieve what I wanted, and did what I didn't dare to do for me."
Jiang Ruofu's heart was bitter, and he lowered his eyes,
"Actually, if he hadn't taken the first step for me, demonstrated to me, and told me that my life could have changed like that, I really wouldn't have dared to take this first step myself."
"So you don't have to worry, I'll help you take one step, but I only help you take one step, and you need to walk the rest by yourself."
Gu Yuling looked up at her, tears flashing in her eyes, like a wounded deer,
"Thank you."
For some reason, Jiang Ruofu seemed to have been poked in the most vulnerable place in his heart.
In the past, she would be like this in front of the world.
Uncompetitive, weak and incompetent.
When encountering things, I first think about forbearance, and I don't think about the other party's intensification, nor do I think about my own dignity.
Therefore, the prince of the world hates such people the most.
Jiang Ruofu closed his eyes, let out a sigh, and when he walked out of the bookstore, he glanced at the leakage outside.
"Miss, it's only been half an hour."
Jiang Ruofu said lightly,
"I guess it's not going to be late."
Ming Sheng handed the umbrella to Jiang Ruofu,
"Now the sun is very poisonous, and Miss can shade the sun."
Jiang Ruofu took it, and Ming Sheng stuffed the book Jiang Ruofu had just bought into the bookcase.
The ink umbrella was opened, and the white jade fingers held the handle.
The bright sun is shining, and it is rampant in the world.
The smoky green and black umbrella surface is like an ink-stained pen tip dotted in the pen wash, and the ink color is irregularly impregnated and flowing, with different shades.
It looks like an inky flower blooming.
And Jiang Ruofu's jade and white fairy bones, black hair like a waterfall, but people who see her feel that in the summer, it is like a breeze and a chill, which makes people feel refreshed.
The ice bone is cold and thin, like a narcissus and a noble one, like a magnolia elegant, standing under an umbrella.
Someone is walking out of the bookstore with a picture scroll in his hand.
