Chapter 40: Talking to Yourself
Everything in this world is easy to manage, but other people's mouths are not easy to manage, people who hide in the dark through high walls and chew on their tongues, who have not seen it with their own eyes but still have a nose and eyes, are as disgusting as maggots in the gutter.
However, there are no longer a few such people in the imperial city, and even the back houses of the big families prefer to listen to these nonsense things.
First Bai Chuxi and Yue Chu'er, and then Bai Chuxi and his future aunt, this Ding Peking University general is very busy.
Yesterday, because Rong Changning fell into Fengjiang, Rong Ling was anxious, and the county lord of Xianghe ordered people to turn around and return to the imperial city early. Rong Xin reluctantly followed back to the Hou Mansion, although there was worry written on his face and followed the eldest sister to the Wanqing Courtyard, but he didn't even see anyone, and on the way back to the Lujia Courtyard, he put away the worry on his face, and replaced it with a little pride.
For she had already sent someone out to spread the word about the ship.
When he returned to the room, he removed the hairpin ring in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at himself carefully, his nose and eyes were no worse than Rong Changning.
Xu Yunqiao waited in the house for a long time, and Rong Xin came back to ask her for peace first, but she didn't see Rong Xin's girl for a long time. I'm afraid that I didn't climb someone on the boat, because I didn't go to the spring hunt and blocked my breath before, so I deliberately didn't come, right?
So Xu Yunqiao walked to Rong Xin's house with a handkerchief, and as soon as he entered the house, he looked at Rong Xin's stupid smirk in the mirror, his cheeks were crimson and his face was peachy, it seemed that Aunt Xu had guessed eight or nine.
"Xin'er?"
Rong Xin raised his eyes, quite impatient in his heart, but he could only get up and answer well: "Mother, my daughter came back late, and I went to the Wanqing Courtyard with my eldest sister to wait for a while, so I didn't go to ask my mother for peace." ”
Saying that, Rong Xin pulled Aunt Xu into the threshold, sat down at the desk and poured tea for Aunt Xu: "Has Mother been to see Rong Changning?" ”
"I know she doesn't want to see me, but I still get up?" As she spoke, Aunt Xu's peach blossom eyes rolled: "Are you waiting for her to find my ballast to sue your father?" ”
"But my mother always wants to make a show, even if she tells the small kitchen to make some soup and send it."
"She is guarding that little poison by her side, and the two of them unite to poison themselves and accuse me of poisoning, don't I stretch my neck and knife others? Originally, I didn't find it, but now I see that this Rong Changning is really not a good thing. ”
The phrase 'Rong Changning is not a good thing' came out of Aunt Xu's mouth, which was really interesting. Rong Xin pursed the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to talk. Thinking about the strange fire in the ancestral hall before, you know that Rong Changning is in a hurry, and she is also doing everything. What Aunt Xu said really makes some sense.
"But those mothers don't care, the prince of King Mu's mansion is gone, right? Can you talk? Didn't he come to the house last time? ”
"Him?" Rong Xin shook his head, and the beads on his bun swayed gently: "When he got on the boat, his eyes never left Rong Changning, and he sat wherever Rong Changning sit." The matter of the handkerchief last time, I can't figure out if he deliberately arranged me in order to get close to Rong Changning. ”
"He and Rong Changning?" Aunt Xu opened her eyes in surprise, and reached out to grab Rong Xin's arm: "This is not a trivial matter, you can't talk nonsense." ”
"In short, since Rong Changning shot that arrow at the Baifu Shooting Range last time, the young talents in the imperial city have all looked at her differently, and I am standing beside her...... It's not as eye-catching as Xiaodong. ”
Aunt Xu took Rong Xin's hand, but she really didn't understand: "How can this be?" She's married, what's the use of seeing her? ”
"Her engagement was confusing. The general did not see anyone for six or seven days out of ten days, but he followed him to swim in the Fengjiang River, and he was very drunk on the boat, and he didn't know what was wrong. Rong Xin raised his eyes and saw that those subordinates were far away, so he lowered his voice and said to Aunt Xu: "My daughter did what Yue Chu'er said, and she made a familiar face in front of the general and said a few words. ”
When Aunt Xu heard this, she hurriedly chased after him and asked, "What about him?" ”
Before he could say anything, he bumped into Rong Changning, and then the two of them went elsewhere to say a few words, and then Rong Changning fell into the river. But how could the big ship fall for no reason? ”
"That'...... Is that someone pushed?! ”
"Shh Rong Xin hurriedly stretched out his index finger against Aunt Xu's mouth to signal her to silence: "Mother, be quiet, anyway, that's how I got the word out." ”
"General White! General White! "Even if there is no prince of King Mu's mansion, General Bai is good. With the protection of the Bai family and the help of the general, Aunt Xu's son is also promising! Aunt Xu excitedly grabbed Rong Xin's wrist.
"Hmm." Rong Xin nodded as he should, and straightened the folds on his sleeves: "Although General Bai does not have a title at this time, and the official position of a military general is also a breakthrough for him, but in the end, he is an important minister of the court, and his youth is limitless for the future." What is the prince of the palace, the prince of the Hou Mansion, and the little son of the Guogong Mansion, they are not as heavy as the weight of a plaque of the Bai family. Yue Chu'er also said in private that in another year, General Bai and Rong Changning are very likely to withdraw from their marriage. ”
"What does this have to do with you? Eighty percent of the divorce is for Yue Chuer. ”
But Yue Chu'er said that she just wanted to take Bai Chuxi to see His Royal Highness the Prince. My daughter has already figured out these things, and Yue Chu'er also promised me that she will help me if we take Rong Ling. But we have to cover this matter tightly, if there is really anything wrong, we can pick ourselves up, and the wrong dirty ones can be splashed to Yue's house. ”
Aunt Xu patted Rong Xin's hand to signal her to rest assured: "Mother knows, mother understands." If that's the case, it's okay for us to wait for another year, anyway, in this year, Bai Chuxi won't be able to run. We...... Slowly! Yes, plan slowly. "New Lewen
"Hmm."
It's obviously something that can't be seen in the shadows, but the mother and daughter are so sure that they don't know where they got the confidence.
And Yue Chu'er's ability is to climb up by stepping on people's shoulders and using others as the tip of a gun. In her eyes, although Rong Xin was born in the Hou Mansion, she is just a little girl who is not in the stream, and her biological mother is a businessman, and she can't get on the stage.
From the time Yue Chu'er used Rong Xin to destroy Rong Ling's 100 longevity diagram, Yue Chu'er had already figured out Rong Xin's careful tricks. thinks he's smart, and if he gives him some sweetness, he can't even find the north.
Although Yue Chu'er can see Rongxin clearly, and he can do things exquisitely, he can't count that his aunt and grandmother are weaving a net for herself, waiting for her to plunge into it.
Yesterday, the little brother in Bai Chuxi's courtyard went to Yue's mansion with Bai Chuxi's letter talisman, but Yue Chu'er thought that he had already caught up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince anyway, and His Royal Highness the Prince's people arranged for him to enter the palace, and Bai Chuxi seemed irrelevant. This will be even more lazy to deal with it, so you might as well hang him first.
But after a day's work, the people around the prince also quietly went to Yue's house to pass a message to Yue Chu'er, saying that the prince went out of the palace to do some official business, and asked Miss Yue's family to talk about it.
Thinking about it day and night, and working hard, Yue Chu'er finally waited for this day. It seems that he is about to get out of the way.
I didn't care about it and told Bai Chuxi that I was sick, so I changed my clothes and put on makeup, and chose a hairpin ring to hide at the bottom of the box. Inevitably, too many people bumped into it, and asked the coachman to pick up the white lantern with the word 'Yue' written in black ink hanging in front of the car, and quietly went out from the back door of Yue's house.
I didn't dare to lift the curtain along the way.
When I arrived at the Lion Tower, I also raised a fan to cover half of my face, and walked up with my head stuffy. It wasn't until someone took him to the cubicle that he lowered his hand and straightened his sleeves.
Blinking a pair of big eyes and looking inside, I saw a figure behind the screen, it should be His Royal Highness the Prince.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I have been circling with Bai Chuxi for so many years, and I am only one step away!
Yue Chu'er was happy in her heart, and hurriedly saluted: "Chu'er has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old......"
The people inside didn't say anything, Yue Chu'er quietly raised her head to look, but she vaguely felt that the figure was a little familiar, what she never dreamed of was that the person who came out from behind the screen was Bai Chuxi!
"Chu ......"
"Cousin Chu'er's wind chill is really fast." Bai Chuxi seemed to have expected such a result, and he didn't show as sad or surprised as before, but just sat down on the side of the desk lightly, picked up the wine jug, and poured a glass of wine for Yue Chu'er.
"You must be curious, why the person who went to invite you was by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it was me who was waiting here."
“……”
"You must be disappointed that it is me, not His Royal Highness the Prince, who is waiting here."
"Brother Chu, I'...... I was just...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited, and Chu'er didn't dare not come. As he spoke, he pretended to be sick again, and coughed lightly with his face covered.
"Really?" Bai Chuxi raised his eyes to look at Yue Chu'er, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, his clear eyes lost the slightest tenderness for Yue Chu'er, and he was cold and indifferent: "Sit." ”
Yue Chu'er didn't want to offend Bai Chuxi at this time, who didn't respect Bai Chuxi for three points in the Manchu Dynasty? Especially since he has a very good personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, if he goes to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time and says something, wouldn't it be a failure?!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly sat down next to Bai Chuxi, and grabbed Bai Chuxi's sleeve as before: "Brother Chu, you know, under His Royal Highness the Prince, Chu Er can't help it even if he doesn't want to." Chu'er really didn't dare to go out because of the cold, if you don't believe it, you can ask my brother. My brother is a frank man, he will not lie to you. ”
Bai Chuxi was unmoved, and caught a glimpse of Yue Chu'er carefully grasping his little hand, and silently withdrew his sleeve differently.
No matter what Yue Chu'er did in the past, Bai Chuxi had never made such a move, as long as she was coquettish, she could pass, even if Yue Chu'er caused some big trouble, Bai Chuxi would find a way to stand up for her.
"Brother Chu."
“……”
Why is he so indifferent? Yue Chu'er suddenly remembered that at the queen's birthday banquet that day, Mrs. Ying Guo was in the middle of the banquet.
"Brother Chu, do you know about the queen's birthday banquet that day? It was also ...... that day."
