Unveil your vest and ask if you are afraid
(There's a saying I don't know if to say?)
Inner OS: When you talk about it, do you guys think I'm okay to write? I watched that there were still a lot of people who read, but none of them wrote comments on the cutie, so I didn't know the bottom of my heart)
Vinh House:
"Grandpa, the token has arrived." Rong Lianjie trembled and presented the pendant.
Old lady Rong didn't look at him, only waved his hand to signal Rong He to pick it up, Rong He stepped forward and took it and turned around and handed it to Old Lady Rong.
The old lady took it in his hand and looked back and forth, as if he just remembered Rong Lianjie on the ground and said, "Get up, you did a good job in this." ”
Rong Lianjie smiled bitterly in his heart, this is the Rong family! power, eyes above the top, and good at acting, but he can only endure it. "Grandpa, since my grandson has obtained the token, can you let my mother out?"
Old lady Rong seemed to be a little surprised when she heard this: "How do you say this?" Isn't your mother in the Ruyi Pavilion? ”
Rong Lianjie clenched his hands, trying his best to hide his emotions, Rong He saw that he was reluctant to act, so he asked his subordinates to arrest his mother and lock him in the firewood room, and found someone to guard him from approaching, one meal a day was so hanging, how could he not know this.
"He'er, but you're messing around again, where did you invite your aunt?" Seeing that Rong Lianjie didn't speak, Old Lady Rong was a little annoyed, so she could only pretend to scold Rong He.
"Grandpa, my mother was unwell a while ago, and my aunt offered to take care of my mother in Wutong Garden, but somehow, my eldest brother misunderstood." After saying that, Rong He glanced at Rong Lianjie with disdain.
"Even so, it's rare, since your mother's health is better, let your aunt go back early, it's been hard for her for a while." Saying that, the old lady stood up on crutches and was about to leave, but Rong Lianjie stepped forward and knelt at his feet again.
"Grandpa, grandson has a request!" Rong Lianjie lowered his head, just thinking of the girl in his heart, he couldn't help but muster up courage.
The old lady and Rong He were a little stunned when they saw this, you must know that Rong Lianjie has been silently forbearance in Rong Mansion all these years, and even at the most beautiful moment before, he didn't dare to say that he had a request, which is surprising today.
"What is the request?" The old lady stopped and looked condescendingly.
"My grandson wants to marry a girl, I hope my grandfather will allow it" finally spoke, and Rong Lianjie breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, I approached her, just for the token of Zhengyuan Pavilion, but this girl is so gentle and kind, reasonable, and more compassionate, in order to gain her trust, I half-truthfully said my experience, but her innocent eyes, full of trust, brought me a great shock, except for my mother, I did not feel a trace of warmth in my life, until I met her. But my first encounter with her was nothing more than an elaborate design, and I don't know if she would hate me when she knew the truth, but I knew that my promise to her must be fulfilled, otherwise there would be no possibility between me and her.
"The girl who helped you steal the token?" The old lady had no expression on her face, and she couldn't see her joy or anger.
Rong Lianjie nodded.
"Don't you think that the eldest brother is still a lover, so you like her? It makes me curious, why don't you bring it out another day and let me see, it's a strange woman."
Rong He's frivolous words made Rong Lianjie even more angry, but his face was still in a state of pleading.
"If you can complete another task and want to marry that woman, it doesn't hurt if grandpa promises you", anyway, you have to find someone to go to Zhengyuan Pavilion to investigate, so let this fool go, it's natural to be a woman, if you don't succeed... Naturally, there is no need to come back.
Rong Lianjie didn't expect the old lady to agree, but for so many years, he knows the old lady's personality very well, and it must not be easy to come to this task, but for Xiaolian, no matter how difficult it is, he has to try.
"Grandpa, I don't know what the task is?"
"You can take this token, if you successfully get the "Tianbao Jade Seal" in the Zhengyuan Pavilion Library, your marriage, grandpa will be in charge for you. The old lady handed the pendant back to Rong Lianjie, and then left with the support of Rong He, who glanced at Rong Lianjie meaningfully before leaving.
"In that case, I'll do it, and if it doesn't work, I'll just do it, I've had enough of these days." Rong Lianjie thought to himself, he naturally knew the rumored "Tianbao Jade Seal", and he also knew that this was what his aunt wanted to get, as long as he found it, Dongchi would be in the Rong family's bag, but he also knew that even so, there was no benefit to him.
On this day, I was painting the "Four Beauties Costume Picture" and some fairy clothes, when I heard the bamboo whistle, which was the old man's code, I rushed to the window, and a small guy saw this and dropped a sandbag in.
Unwrapping the sandbag, there was a note inside, which read, "There is a play in Zhengyuan Pavilion tonight." ”
"Sister, I may have to live in Zhengyuan Pavilion at night, the master said that there is something I need to help with temporarily, and many senior brothers in the pavilion are just resting and are not in the pavilion." While I was packing up my clothes, I lied calmly, the old man asked me to go to the play, I think there will be a move in the Rong family tonight.
"Living in the museum, how do you make a woman live in a place full of men, can't..., when will you be busy? I'm waiting for you at the door. ”
I put down the clothes in my hand and stepped forward to hug my sister, "Except for my master and a few janitors, there are no other people in the hall, all of them are resting, and why are there no women in the hall?" The laundry aunt, aren't the women who cook all women, and ah, I'm one person in one room, so don't worry."
"Do you have to live?" My sister is still not at ease.
"I don't know how busy it will be, otherwise this way, if I am busy in the morning, I will ask the master to find someone to send me back, if it is too late, I can only stay in the museum, is this feasible? I tilted my head to look at my sister.
She patted my hand, "That's all it takes, then you bring the knife that your godfather gave you"
"I've always had it with me."
After saying goodbye to my sister, the little girl sent me to Zhengyuan Pavilion.
The old man was drinking tea, and he was accidentally burned, sticking out his tongue like a pug, and this cowardice could be seen behind his back, and he had always looked like a teacher in front of people.
"But at night, you watch the Rong family's play?" I threw my little baggage aside and sat down.
The master poured me a cup of tea and told me all the information he had found.
"In this way, Rong Lianjie's life in the Rong family is really not good, his mother said that she was the aunt in the house, but it was nothing more than a bargaining chip used by the Rong family to threaten Rong Lianjie, since it has been released now, at least it means that Rong Lianjie has handed over the token of Zhengyuan Pavilion"
"Oh no, then it's handed over, how do you know they're going to do it tonight?" I wondered.
"Stupid", Tan Fang greeted me heavily with a folding fan, I didn't notice that I was beaten up for a while, and I must have to pick up the bag. I looked at Tan Fang angrily, the dead old man didn't do it lightly or heavily, I was a weak woman.
"As a teacher, I sent a notice three days ago, today the students of Zhengyuan Pavilion are resting, if you are a person sent by the Rong family, if you don't come tonight, when will you come?" Tan Fang's face was stunned.
"I thought about it", in fact, I realized it as soon as I asked.
"Then do you think it will be Rong Lianjie coming over tonight?"
"I guess it's him," the old man pinched his beard.
"I knew that I had tricked Xiaolian out and let her see his true face with her own eyes" I couldn't help but cry out for pity.
"The teacher has already been arranged, Xiaolian will definitely come tonight" The old man looked profound, pretending to be unfathomable.
"How did you do that?"
"When I threw you sandbags, I also found someone to give her a letter, asking her to come to the Zhengyuan Pavilion Library tonight, and her doubts can be solved", I believe she will come.
"I'll go, can't you say a word in your letter to me? No wonder Xiaolian looked at me just now and stopped, what did I think I was doing, I guess she thought I wrote the letter."
"Well...... It doesn't matter, it's good if people are here anyway" The old man's eyes dodged, obviously just thinking about it.
"Master, can we have a tacit understanding in the future? We're really pitting each other like this."
"Tacit understanding is something that must be done slowly, and we will continue to work hard in the future, hahaha" Tan Fang smiled awkwardly.
The old man took me to dinner, and then took me to the secret room of Zhengyuan Pavilion, and the two of them played chess together.
"Master, there seem to be a lot of secrets in your library, and you are also old, you may not be sure when you will die, you might as well find a reliable person in advance of all the secrets and tell him" I kindly suggested.
"Reliable people?" The old man looked pensive, as if he did have this thought, "Do you mean everyone but you?" Tan Fang's acting skills are first-class, and his serious expression makes people laugh.
I knew he was making fun of me, ruining the game in front of me that was not going against me. "Hahahaha, the ancients said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise, let you offend me"
"You're admitting to being a villain?" Tan Fang squinted slightly.
"Eh, master, the apprentice has a question for you, it's serious, it's not a joke" Since you almost missed your mouth, you might as well take the opportunity to test Tan Fang.
"But it's okay," the old man took a sip of tea from his cup.
I pondered for a moment and took a deep breath, "Once upon a time there was a little girl, lively by nature, like to run around in men's clothes, one day I met an old pedant, the two hit it off at first sight, and they hated to see each other late, the old pedant liked this little girl very much, so he accepted her as an apprentice, and after a long time, he found out that the apprentice he liked turned out to be a little girl, but oh... But..."I saw Tan Fang's subtle expression, and motioned for him to pay attention, the following is the point.
"But ah, after the old scholar knew that the apprentice was a girl, instead of being angry because he was deceived, he doted on this apprentice even more!" What do you think of this story? What would you do if you were an old pedant? I looked at Tan Fang expectantly, nervous, and suddenly felt that I shouldn't uncover my vest at this time, I even thought about it, if Tan Fang was angry, I would take out the three conditions he owed me.
"It's ...... for the teacher", Tan Fang was a little entangled.
"If this female apprentice is a cute and well-behaved person, it is naturally excellent, and I like it as a teacher, but if it is like you, then I regret that my intestines are blue."
"How so? I think the master is still suitable for having a lively and lovely apprentice to accompany him," I blinked.
Tan Fang suddenly leaned back, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked at me for a long time.
Eh, the vest is really broken, Tan Fang must have thought of it immediately if he was so smart.
"Master~~, the master is so open-minded, he won't have patriarchal thinking, right? Although I usually have a bit of a skin, I am very sincere to the master."
"Hey", Tan Fang sighed and was silent.
"Master?"
"I have known countless people in my life as a teacher, but I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of your little girl, but your appearance is a man who also said that the jade tree is in the wind, if it is a daughter's dress, I am afraid it will be rougher" Tan Fang looked puzzled, but he didn't mind whether Tang Bohu was a man or a woman, they were all his own apprentices, what did it matter between men and women.
"Master~ It's not rough, I'm wearing women's clothes, it's called a sweet and lovely person, sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers", I put on a pose shamelessly, and Tan Fang frowned when he saw it.
"Since you are a girl, how can you call Tang Bohu the name?"
"Well, I have a hard time, I can't say my real name, you still call me Bohu, and when you are willing to tell me the secret of the library, that is, when I tell you my true origin, how about it? Fair, right? ”
"Shhh
The door of the library building was pushed open, sure enough, it was Rong Lianjie, the pendant was a key, if you want to enter the inner room of the library building, you can only use it to open it, and when he was opening it, a small servant came to Tan Fang's ear and said something, Tan Fang nodded, and after a while, Xiaolian came in.
She looked at me unnaturally, as if embarrassed, as if apologetic, and I didn't say anything, just pulled her over.
At this time, Rong Lianjie had already opened the second door with the pendant, and he carefully turned it over, but how could the jade seal be in such a place.
Xiaolian watched his every move, her mouth trembled slightly, and her hands twisted the handkerchief.
I patted her on the shoulder and whispered, "I didn't ask you to pursue anything, I just hope you can distinguish right from wrong, no matter how many grievances he has for Rong Lianjie, it is not a gentleman's doing, let alone using you, and knowing how sincere he is to you?" ”
"No, I believe him, I don't want to defend him, but he's not bad in nature, I can see it, you... If you want to complain, blame me, I'm sorry for you" Xiaolian took my hand excitedly, tears blurred her eyes.
I don't know what it's like, this girl is obviously already in a daze, I can't extricate myself, I look at the master for help.
"Since Miss Xiaolian trusts him so much, you might as well let me and Bohu give it a try, if it is really as you said, he is still saved, I don't want to pursue this matter, but if he still doesn't change, I~ am not easy to talk to" Tan Fang said unceremoniously.
I looked at Xiaolian, this girl didn't do anything bad, after the matter was revealed, she was terrified and trembled, but she actively said good things for Rong Lianjie, I don't know how she fell into such a deep position in a short period of time, but feelings are inexplicable and inexplicable, I just hope that Rong Lianjie still has a little conscience, don't lose this stupid girl.
Rong Lianjie searched for a long time but still couldn't find it, he couldn't help but be anxious, he changed the lantern to a hand, rubbed his sweaty hand on his clothes, and tried his best to calm down.
My master and I looked at each other, and he pushed open the door of the secret room, looking terrified in the silence of the night.
Rong Lianjie was startled, instinctively cowering in the corner, Xiaolian's eyes were full of distress.
I shook my head, "Wait a minute, my master and I will decide to test him, anyway, I hope you don't show up." ”
As soon as the master walked out, I followed on my hind feet.
I took out the night pearl, lit it slightly, accompanied the master to the table and lit the lamp, the room lit up with a soft light, and Rong Lianjie in the corner covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
"Come out!" I said lightly.
There was a stumble in the corner, and Rong Lianjie came out slowly, his eyes were slightly red, his forehead was full of sweat, he was also a novice, and he was bound by the bottom line of morality.
He looked up and saw that it was me and Tan Fang, lowered his head, and said dejectedly, "You already knew my plan, didn't you?" ”
"Yes," I replied.
"Then what did you do to Xiaolian?" He jerked his head up.
"She betrayed me, I gave her a chance, she didn't cherish it, what do you say I should do with such a person?" I had a calm face.
"I forced her to do this, it's none of her business, it's all my idea" Rong Lianjie eagerly defended, his red and swollen eyes more cautious.
"I haven't done anything to her yet, I'm just locked up, but if she's still obsessed, then I can't do anything about it."
"Hehe, you're all like this, if you don't like it, you will only lock people up and blackmail others" Rong Lianjie was in a trance, as if he was taking care of himself.
Tan Fang sat down and looked at Rong Lianjie: "What do you want to get when you come to the library?" ”
"Take what? They asked me to take the Tianbao Jade Seal, but I didn't find it after looking for a long time, yes, since you know that I will come, how can you let me find it easily, say what are you going to do with me" Rong Lianjie simply sat down on the ground, judging the unparalleled son of the world.
"You are a member of the Rong family, I naturally can't move, you return the pendant to me, don't be so whimsical in the future" I stretched out my hand, Rong Lianjie took out the pendant and put it on my hand, I shook it in disgust.
"Then what are you going to do with Xiaolian?" Rong Lianjie didn't slip away immediately, he was still thinking about Xiaolian, which surprised me, could it be that he really had Xiaolian in his heart? I wasn't sure what to do, so I looked at my master.
The master's vague expression asked me to continue to try.
"She stole my things, and she also wanted to steal secrets from Zhengyuan Pavilion, such a wolf-hearted thing, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out in this life if I send it to the official for investigation." I said in disgust.
Xiaolian hid in the secret room, naturally knowing that I was doing this to prove whether Rong Lianjie had her in her heart, she was both scared and curious.
Rong Lianjie's expression changed slightly, as if he was pulling each other in his thoughts, which made him miserable, and after being silent for a while, he finally made up his mind.
"A manly husband does things one by one, one person is one person, I can't let a woman suffer for me, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it, my death in the Rong family is just a dead dog, as long as you let Xiaolian go, she is so good, it's not worth it for people like me to end up like this...".
In the secret room, Xiaolian had tears in her eyes, she knew that she was not wrong about him, but when he resisted everything for herself, she still couldn't help but feel heartache for him.
"That being the case, then I think it's okay to exchange your life for Xiaolian" I threw Yin Yang in front of him.
"This is a dagger made of venom, but if you touch a wound, you will die in three hours, if you really have the courage, you will use it to hurt yourself, and you will have time to go home and arrange the rest of your mother's life, how about it?"
Rong Lianjie silently took the dagger and slowly pulled it out, "Thank you, I have never enjoyed the slightest wealth brought by the Rong family in my life, some are just boundless humiliation and abuse, death is not a relief for me, I just hope you can keep your promise, let Xiaolian go, and don't be angry with her." ”
After speaking, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, not like the decadence just now, his eyes became extremely firm, and he quickly raised the dagger and was ready to slash his arm.
"Young Master Rong, don't~~~" Xiaolian rushed out of the secret room with a hoarse voice and stopped Rong Lianjie.
I was holding a flag in my hand, and I was also planning to save him at a critical time, and I didn't need it now, but to my surprise, this pair was really good, I looked at Tan Fang helplessly, and the old man was obviously a little touched.
"Xiaolian, why are you here?" Rong Lianjie walked around from the edge of life and death, and was even more surprised when he saw Xiaolian.
"It was arranged by Tan Lao, they didn't hurt me, they just wanted to test your sincerity to me, but you actually want to die..."
Rong Lianjie hugged the person in his arms tightly, but at the same time he couldn't understand why we did this.
I didn't bother to explain it to him, anyway, I still don't have a good impression of him, but I still have a question that I am more confused and want to ask him.
"Now that you have got the pendant, give it to them, and your mother has been released, is it for the person who came to steal the jade seal or you?"
Hearing this, Rong Lianjie glanced at Xiaolian in his arms, and looked serious, "I promised to marry Xiaolian, and my grandfather promised me, as long as I get the jade seal, he will not object, so knowing that there are many difficulties, I still want to give it a try." ”
"Young Master Rong...... you have this intention, Xiaolian, I will never die" Xiaolian was moved when she heard it, and she strengthened her thoughts.
It seems that Rong Lianjie is going to move, but I'm afraid that Xiaolian will also die and live, so I can only ask for help from the people on the side again.
"If you are clear about your heart, you want to join hands with Miss Xiaolian for the rest of your life, are you willing to let you leave the Rong family, after leaving the Rong family, all the reputation and glory have nothing to do with you, do you ensure that you will not regret it?" Tan Fang analyzed in detail what they had to face and lose together.
"Tan Lao said and laughed, I am the son of an aunt, in the Rong family, it is just a little better than the next person, where does the reputation and glory come from, in the past ten years, I have never lived for myself, in the future life, I have my own life I yearn for, I believe I will not regret it..." Rong Lianjie replied, but his eyes kept staring at Xiaolian.
I have to say that these words still moved me, if Lu Yanken gave up fame and fortune for me, joined hands with the two of me, and lived a free life, I would definitely be moved.
"Is there a way for the master to help them?" After coming to my senses, I decided to find a way to help them.
"If he is willing to leave, it will be easy to do," the old man said very easily, thinking about it.
That night, a fire broke out in the corner tower of the Zhengyuan Pavilion Library Building, and according to eyewitnesses, a man and a woman were arguing in the corner tower and accidentally knocked over the candle flame, and the fire was so fast that both of them burned to death in it.
A few days later, I heard that the third aunt of the Rong family was somehow overly worried, died, and was hastily buried in Liulipo outside the city.
