Chapter 40: It's Comfortable
"Miss Cui, what do you mean by this?"
Yan Ran's face was a little frightened, her eyes were evasive, her voice trembled, she didn't have much confidence, and she seemed to be empty-hearted.
Cui Jingshi saw that she seemed to be frightened, and she was even more proud, and sneered: "What, if you are arrested, you still want to quibble?" ”
Wen Rong sank with peace of mind, and was about to take the responsibility on himself, but was stopped by Yan Ran who took the lead in speaking.
She still looked that delicate, and explained a little timidly: "Miss Cui, you misunderstood, it's not what you think......"
Wen Rongan was slightly stunned, this is not like Yan Ran's style, is she really afraid, or does she have ulterior motives?
Wen Rong'an didn't understand what she meant, so she could only cooperate with Yan Ran for the time being, and was silent, but the hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched, and she was ready to stand in front of the silly girl to protect her at any time.
Cui Jingshi interrupted Yan Ran with a raised voice: "Miss Yan, I have always respected you for your noble character, but I didn't expect you to secretly communicate with a man!" I am so disappointed that you are still obsessed and unrepentant, trying to quibble! ”
Cui Jingshi was originally planning to take revenge on Yan Ran, so she secretly called people to watch, and her sharp voice suddenly sounded, attracting those people over.
Yan Yao was also among them, and she was happy when she saw that Yan Ran was being calculated by Cui Jingshi.
But she thought about it that if Yan Ran's reputation was tarnished, she would inevitably be affected, and she would hate Cui Jingshi again.
"I often heard that Miss Cui is beautiful, but when I see it today, it's nothing more than that."
Yan Ran was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a man's cold voice behind her.
Yan Ran turned her head to look, and it was Wen Chengyan.
The gentle man stood tall and jade, and walked slowly, but the sentences he came out of his mouth were vicious.
Cui Jingshi's face was a little unbearable, and she didn't know if his sentence "but so" referred to her appearance or something beside her.
Either way, his undisguised disdain seriously undermined her self-esteem and affected her reputation.
Wen Chengyan came closer, glanced at Wen Rong'an lightly, and then looked at Cui Jingshi, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Cousin Ran and my brother are talking in a dignified and upright manner, why do you have a private meeting?" ”
Cui Jingshi couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this.
Wen Rongan has always been low-key, whether in the mansion or in the academy, he is like a transparent person, and he has never had any intersection with Wen Chengyan.
Those who are in his classmates do not know that the two are half-brothers, let alone Cui Jingshi.
However, Cui Jingshi was only surprised for a moment, and quickly reacted.
Although Yan Ran and Wen Rongan are nominal cousins, they are actually not related by blood, so it stands to reason that they should avoid suspicion.
After all, although Sheng Guo does not advocate cousin marriage, this situation still exists in the end.
What's more, it is a fact that Yan Ran crossed the line without permission, and this article alone is enough to convict her.
Cui Jingshi was calm and relaxed, and she was ready to speak.
As if guessing what Cui Jingshi was thinking, Wen Chengyan changed his words, and then said: "Besides, there is a riding and archery class in the afternoon, and Cousin Ran just came over in advance to wait for the class to start, but Miss Cui is so aggressive. ”
Riding and archery is a course in the East Chamber, what does it have to do with the West Chamber?
Cui Jingshi was puzzled and was about to question, but Wen Chengyan didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and slowly added: "There is a decree from the saint, from now on, all schools will add women's riding and archery courses." ”
Wen Chengyan is the son of the eldest princess and is favored by Emperor Sheng, although the students have not heard the news, but this matter should not be wrong when it comes out of his mouth.
For a while, no one cared about Yan Ran and Cui Jingshi anymore, and they discussed the women's riding and archery course.
Cui Jingshi was caught off guard, angry, and her face was cloudy.
Wen Chengyan looked at Yan Ran and showed her a soothing smile.
He thought that Yan Ran and Wen Rong'an's meeting was calculated by Cui Jingshi, but he didn't expect that they had known each other for a long time, so he opened his mouth to help her out of the siege.
But in the face of Wen Chengyan's overtures, Yan Ran couldn't afford to be grateful, but secretly hated him for meddling.
In fact, Wen Chengyan's words are not enough to excuse Yan Ran, and after a little exploration, there are many omissions.
For example, why did Yan Ran know about the addition of courses in advance; For example, the master has not yet spoken, and it is still inappropriate for Yan Ran to cross the line without permission.
Cui Jingshi was angry, and Yan Ran was also unwilling.
Yan Ran suffered a lot from Cui Jingshi's Buddha's mouth and snake heart in her previous life, and in this life, the two have secretly started a competition, and Yan Ran will naturally be wary of her.
Coupled with the female red class that day, Cui Jingshi's inexplicable smile made Yan Ran have to take more precautions.
Cui Jingshi sent someone to follow Yan Ran, and was discovered by Yan Ran early in the morning, so she deliberately leaked her whereabouts and guided Cui Jingshi to set up this "catch rape" scene.
Because Yan Ran had more than one lifetime of experience, he knew that the addition of women's riding and archery courses was a whim of Emperor Sheng, and he directly issued an order without consulting with the courtiers, so let alone Cui Jingshi, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not be known in advance.
Yan Ran wanted to use the prophet to tear apart Cui Jingshi's vicious face in front of everyone, but she didn't expect her painstaking plan to be ruined by Wen Chengyan's kick again!
Yan Ran's mind turned around, and she had already come to Cui Jingshi's face.
Her posture was still weak, but her eyes were full of contempt, and her voice was more like quenched poison, and she said in a low voice: "Miss Cui, the feeling of slapping yourself in the face is still comfortable?" ”
Cui Jingshi was furious, and Hua Rongyue's pretty face became distorted because of anger: "Slut, you still dare to calculate me!" ”
Cui Jingshi has always been self-assured and intelligent, and her eyes are above the top, He was once toyed with three times and twice, and she was furious, and she slapped her and slapped it.
As soon as Yan Ran's body deviated, she fell to the ground like a leaf blown off by the wind.
"Cousin Ran!"
Wen Chengyan's face was anxious, and even though he wanted to rush up, he was stopped by Wen Rongan.
Wen Chengyan shook off Wen Rong'an in disgust and looked at him coldly.
In this space, Qingxuan had already stepped forward to help Yan Ran, only to see five fingerprints printed on her white and tender cheeks, and couldn't help but scold in distress: "Miss Cui, you deceive people too much!" ”
Qingxuan's angry roar pulled everyone's attention back.
Only then did everyone find out that Cui Jingshi and Yan Ran had a conflict at some point.
Cui Jingshi was condescending, with an angry face; Yan Ran was delicate and forbearing, and her cheeks were red and swollen.
Who is right and who is wrong, the superior and the inferior have an immediate opinion.
"Miss Cui has always been dignified and demure, but she didn't expect to have such a violent side. However, why did she beat Miss Yan? ”
"Yes, Mo said that Miss Yan got the news in advance to come to class, and the person she talked to was her cousin, so she couldn't be overstepped at all. It's Miss Yan's fault, what does it have to do with her, where is her turn to beat people? ”
"I can't see this, in order to protect Miss Yan, Grandpa Wen is just saying that her talented daughter Cui Jingshi is nothing more than that!"
"Tut, it turns out that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams!"
"Grandpa Wen is right, Cui Jingshi's behavior is no different from that of a shrew, how can she be worthy of the name of a talented woman?"
……
Everyone's ridicule and ridicule fell into Cui Jingshi's ears, and she lost her mind even more irritated, shouting: "It's this slut who designed to frame me!" I didn't hit her at all, she fell on her own! Today's incident was all brought about by her, just to tarnish my reputation! ”
The others were silent, looking at Cui Jingshi indescribably.
It was Cui Jingshi who slandered Yan Ran for having a private meeting with someone, and it was Cui Jingshi who injured Yan Ran, but now what is she saying, Yan Ran designed her?
Is she stupid, or is she taking everyone else for a fool?
Seeing that no one believed her words, Cui Jingshi looked at Yan Ran viciously, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Slut, if you know each other, quickly admit your mistakes, otherwise I will never spare you!" ”
"What are you doing?"
A low but majestic voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Cui Jingshi's threatening words.
The students all went to see it, their faces changed, and they saluted respectfully: "Students meet the curator and the master." ”
The person who came was the director of the Chongwen Museum, followed by the limping Xu Fuzi.
The curator glanced around with a heavy gaze, and saw Cui Jingshi, who was still angry, and Yan Ran, who looked aggrieved, and immediately understood a general idea in his heart.
But he had no intention of interfering in the discord between the students, so he only reprimanded sharply: "Master Xu, the good student you taught!" ”
Xu Fuzi didn't dare to refute, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
She has always been self-denying, conscientious, and has never been reprimanded, and her face is a little unbearable for a while, and her eyebrows are dyed with displeasure.
After the curator left, Xu Fuzi regained his usual cold complexion and said lightly: "Let's go back first." ”
The girls were most afraid of the always strict Master Xu, and suddenly they were amnesty, and they hurriedly dispersed.
Wen Rongan and Wen Chengyan also left one after another.
Wen Rong'an's face was flat, and he didn't see joy or anger; Wen Chengyan glanced at Yan Ran deeply, with some different feelings in his eyes.
Yan Ran ignored it, and after everyone left, she walked straight to Master Xu's side, supported her, and said with concern: "Master, how are you?" ”
Xu Fuzi saw that Yan Ran's cheeks were red and swollen, but he still came to care about her, his cold face softened slightly, and asked, "What happened?" ”
After the student sent his master over, he planned to go back, but he happened to meet the cousin of the Wen family who was having dinner here, so he greeted him. Who knows, this scene happened to be seen by Miss Cui, so she accused me of misconduct. The student was angry, so he reasoned with her for a few words, but who knew that she actually ......"
Yan Ran was very fluent in complaining, without any hesitation, and arranged Cui Jingshi happily.
When Xu Fuzi heard the ins and outs, some guilt floated in his heart.
It turned out that she was summoned by the curator at noon for the purpose of adding a riding and archery course for women.
But she accidentally broke her foot on the way, and she was unable to move, and when she met Yan Ran who was having lunch in the backyard, Yan Ran helped her to the east chamber.
Yan Ran was originally a good deed, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood because of this, and was slapped for this humiliation, Xu Fuzi's eyes flashed slightly, and his eyes were covered with a layer of anger.
"You are not wrong in today's events, but it is the Master who has dragged you down. Rest assured, Master will not let you suffer in vain. ”
