Chapter 123: Rivalry
"You ......" Bai Chuxi stopped and stared at Jiang Ning with his eyes, he was speechless for a long time, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "She didn't see me because she was angry, angry because she was jealous, jealous because she cared about this son!" What do you know? Nothing! ”
"Childe said yes, but I didn't dare to talk back." Jiang Ning shrugged his shoulders and followed behind Bai Chuxi, he really didn't expect Bai Chuxi to be as good-tempered as he is now.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang pulled Rong Camelina up from the quilt early, dressed neatly, and stood at the door of Rong Changning's boudoir and waited.
When Xiaoqiu came back with the washing water, Rong Cheng was looking in through the crack in the door.
"Miss Six, what are you doing here?"
Rong Cheng returned his eyes, respectfully closed his hands and hung them in front of him: "I'll come to say hello to the second sister." ”
The second lady just got up, and she hasn't freshened up yet. Miss Six will go back and wait first, right? ”
"I'll just wait here."
With stubbornness on her immature face, Xiaoqiu had no choice but to salute and enter the house with a basin of water first. Rong Changning was sitting in front of the dressing table yawning, Xiaoqiu put down the basin and knelt aside: "Miss is still yawning, Miss Six has already freshened up and dressed up and is waiting at the door to say hello to Miss." ”
"Miss Six gets up so early every day, why don't you snooze at all?" Xiao Dong asked while combing Rong Changning's hair, "Either ask Miss Six to go back first?" ”
"Miss Six said, it's okay to wait."
Rong Changning closed his eyes and sighed lightly, his eyes were slightly puffy, and he looked like he hadn't slept well: "Didn't the small kitchen make Hu Cake and Walnut Cake?" Bring another cup of tea for Miss Six. I told her to wait while eating in front. ”
"Yes." Xiaoqiu put down the wet face towel and turned to go to the small kitchen.
At this moment, Rong Changning didn't have the heart to think about Rong Chu'er, but pondered in his heart, but Bai Chuxi saw Yue Chu'er, and the two of them didn't make any moves, what was the matter with being so playful? As for it?
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she didn't know how she could have become so disproportionate.
But even if he knew that he had lost some sense of proportion in doing this, when the family was eating tea and talking, when the porter came to the concierge and said that General Bai asked to see the second lady, Rong Changning still said: "I don't see." ”
The people in the main courtyard looked at each other, and Rong Chuan had never seen Rong Changning make such a decision to Bai Chuxi.
Even if Bai Chuxi refuted Rong Changning's face and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, Rong Changning could still treat him politely.
Rong Ruo didn't understand Xiao Rong and didn't understand, only Rong Ling understood why Rong Changning was no longer as generous to Bai Chuxi as before.
"General Bai came to such a trip, and it is not the hospitality of the Hou Mansion to hang others." Rong Chuan put down the tortoise shell in his hand and wanted to get up: "You all go back, Ah Ruo and I will go to the front hall." ”
Rong Ling Rong Changning took Xiao Rong to get up, and saluted Rong Chuan: "Yes, my daughter is leaving." ”
Rong Chuan waved his hand, and the three of them took their respective maids out of the main courtyard.
As soon as I went out, the sun was shining brightly. Rong Changning held the fan and blocked it to the top of Rong Fang's head, blocking the dazzling sunlight. Rong Cheng raised his eyes to look at Rong Changning: "Second sister, who is General Bai?" ”
This made Rong Changning not know how to explain Rong Ling waved a fan and smiled: "That's one of the best young talents in the imperial city, you have to call the second brother-in-law." ”
"Is he handsome? Is it right with the second sister? Rong Ling's words made Rong Ling laugh. Rong Changning also unconsciously 'poofed' Yile: "What do you know about this little doll who is not tall and not?" ”
"I just hope he doesn't be an ugly monster."
Rong Ling smiled and advised: "Don't say what you say, General Bai is a talent, and you can be sad when you hear it." ”
"There is living water next to the pavilion in the back garden, and it is cooling." Rong Changning pulled Rong Fang's little hand: "When you finish studying, how about asking someone to take you fishing?" ”
"Okay!"
"Then you go back first, the master will have to wait in the Wanqing Courtyard."
Rong Ling let go of Rong Changning's hand, turned around and solemnly saluted Rong Changning and Rong Ling: "Eldest sister and second sister, Camel will leave first." ”
Rong Ling waved her hand and motioned for her to go back first. looked at the thin back and couldn't say what he liked in his heart, and turned his eyes to look at Rong Changning: "I thought you would hate her." ”
"Children are innocent, and it is not up to them to decide who they are or what they look like. It's so good, there's no need to get along with them. ”
"Yes, now that you think about it, you don't have time to get along with them, because you are at odds with General Bai." After saying that, Rong Ling shook her head helplessly: "I've heard that not long after the banquet in the Guogong Mansion was held, you came back with Rong Ling." ”
"Nothing."
Rong Ling's eyes were full of suspicion: "It's really nothing?" ”
Her questioning eyes actually made Rong Changning feel a little flustered, and quickly diverted Rong Ling's words: "Yesterday I met Prince Santu of the Yupu clan. He even had to go to Qingguogong's house and talk to me...... My grandmother was a Yupu nobleman. ”
Speaking of this, Rong Changning shook his head lightly: "It's just inexplicable. ”33
Rong Ling thought for a while and replied: "It's not inexplicable that he talked to you. ”
"How?"
He was sent to the Central Plains by Yupu Khan as a hostage, and he was alone in a foreign land and had no way to rely on. Seeing that you have a few percent of Yupu blood, I am more cordial than others. ”
"In the end, there is a difference between men and women, he doesn't understand this truth."
"No one outside the dome is informal, how can you care about that?"
"I'm also curious, my grandmother is a Yupu nobleman, how could she commit herself to being a concubine in the Central Plains merchants?"
"I heard that it was just when Emperor Zhao crossed the Dome Pass, and my grandmother was captured as a hostage to be brought back to the Central Plains. Unfortunately, a sand storm broke out in the desert and scattered everyone. And our well-informed grandfather was about to take over the family property, so he followed his great-grandfather to Kanwai to familiarize himself with the business, and happened to meet his grandmother, who was dying in the desert. After being brought back and cured, he was taken in by his grandfather. Later, the Yupu clan found their grandmother and wanted to take her back. But my grandmother already had a father. The mountains of the Northern Desert are high and long, and if there is no accident, I will never see it in this life. ”
"On one side is the haunting mother, and on the other side is the babbling son. Then my grandmother didn't go back, did she? ”
Rong Ling nodded: "That is, because my grandmother didn't go back, Yupu Khan thought that my grandmother had betrayed her mother's clan and her faith, and asked someone to cross out her grandmother's clan." If it weren't for the loss of his ancestral home and some close words, the prince would be considered our distant relative. ”
Rong Changning, who is not far away, doesn't care, just listens to it.
The eldest sister beside her was still obsessed with what happened in the Qingguo Mansion: "General Bai acted uprightly, that is, if he said that he didn't have that thought, he wouldn't have that thought." ”
"He told the eldest sister?" Rong Changning looked at Rong Ling in a blink of an eye: "Anyway, he didn't tell me." ”
The willfulness she has never had made Rong Ling feel helpless: "You, what is it bad to learn?" Scholars are messing around? ”
"Not really. I never married, and I always didn't see him much. I did that, and it was in order. ”
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you always have a reason, and the whole world is your reason. Let's go, go and sit in my courtyard. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked someone to send some new tea to taste. ”
Rong Changning nodded, and followed Rong Ling towards the Lan Courtyard, not caring at all about Bai Chuxi, who was in a gloomy mood in the front hall.
Seeing that he couldn't see Rong Changning anymore, Bai Chuxi greeted Rong Chuan for a while and was about to leave. Not to mention him, even Jiang Ning, who was following him, felt a little depressed: "This second young lady hasn't lost her anger yet." ”
"Maybe in a few days she won't be angry, don't worry." Bai Chuxi comforted himself.
Originally, my heart was quite open, but when I saw the cars and horses leaving the house, I couldn't feel at peace anymore. Seeing that he got out of the car, he walked up the steps and stood opposite Bai Chuxi, and bowed: "General Bai." ”
Bai Chuxi also arched his hand, and replied with a not good-looking face: "Leave the adult." ”
"General, this is ...... Coming to see Changning? ”
“……”
Bai Chuxi looked at the gentle smile of resentment, and always felt that he was gloating. And looking at Bai Chuxi's lawsuit, he smiled even more happily: "Look at this, the general has not seen anyone." Or, what are the words that I will carry in on behalf of the general? ”
"You don't gloat here, my daughter-in-law can't see me, that's a matter of the two of us."
Liren nodded, the smile on his clean face did not decrease, and he leaned forward slightly and whispered to Bai Chuxi: "Don't talk too much, the general." ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Chuyi looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Before the six rites have passed, everything is not a certainty. I grew up watching Changning and knew that there was no room for sand in her eyes. You've annoyed her, and it's all even more uncertain. ”
"Away from my lord." Saying that, Bai Chuxi took half a step forward, staring at the grievances: "You won't still want to rob me now, right?" ”
"Why can't you think about it?"
His innocent rhetorical question made Bai Chuxi panic.
Suddenly, the four eyes were facing each other, and the fire was splashing.
The heat is scorching, and it burns like fire. The porter looked at the two of them, sweating and worried, always afraid that they would fight at the door if they didn't agree.
"Actually, the general is not Changning, there are always people waiting behind him, right?"
"You see?"
"The Qingguo Mansion is so big." Li's expression suddenly became cold: "I'm afraid that your actions are known by word of mouth, right?" At the beginning, there were rumors in the imperial city that it was Changning who snatched love, which blocked the affection between the general and the Yue family. It's easy for time to dilute these gossip, and you break the thread again. Has the General ever wondered how your cousin is going to work behind the scenes? How will Changning be criticized? ”
"Which eye did you see me broken?"
"I don't care if it's yes or no. I just want to tell the general that if you make Changning unhappy in the slightest, I have a thousand ways to snatch her back. You have your plan, and I have my ladder over the wall. Childhood sweethearts, this kind of love since childhood, you are not the only one. ”
"Master Li, are you trying to make enemies with me?"
