Chapter 99: Refusal
"Yes." Mei Cairen responded, and then looked at Ruan Lingwei and said: "I look at Sister Ruan, you and Zhaoyi Niangniang are in the same carriage, and you are not your own carriage, my carriage has been a little old, and it is shaking too much when I sit in it, I wonder if the soft sister can change it with me?" ”
"Is it shaking badly?" Ruan Lingwei asked in some surprise.
"Yes." Mei Cairen nodded: "I have only been sitting all morning, and I feel a sore back, I just went to see Sister Ruan's carriage, it is new and soft, since my sister does not sit in this carriage, she will change it with me." ”
Ruan Lingwei looked at Mei Cairen's smile and shook her head: "I'm sorry, I won't change." ”
Mei Cairen was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
"No why, if Mei Cairen thinks that his carriage is not good, let the people from the Internal Affairs Office change it for you, Yun Shu, send off the guests." Ruan Lingwei didn't say much, and directly asked people to send off guests.
"I'm just a small talent, born as a folk girl, no one can rely on, unlike Ruan Cairen, you were born in the Hou Mansion, and you are the sister of the concubine Niangniang, others dare not slack off, I ......"
Mei Cairen couldn't help but open her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ruan Lingwei.
"You are a talented person who can't stand this carriage, what about those Baolin, Imperial Maidens and Cainu who are lower than you?" After Ruan Lingwei finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked Yun Shu to send the guest away.
After Mei Cairen went out, he couldn't help but stomp his feet, and said angrily: "Everyone looks down on me." ”
"Don't be presumptuous." The palace maid who was waiting on the side said.
"They just look at my people's background, and there is no one to rely on, so they practice me, why should I compare with those who are lower than me? I want to compare myself with Ruan Lingwei, a talented person. Mei Cairen said indignantly.
"But...... She is the concubine of the Hou Mansion and the sister of the concubine, so you ...... talent" The little palace maid opened her mouth cautiously.
"So what? Since they have entered the palace, they are all the emperor's concubines, except for their positions, there is no difference between high and low, let alone ...... She is a person who has never slept before, why is she better off than me? After Mei Cairen finished speaking, he stomped his feet again before leaving angrily.
Inside the house, Qing Zhaoyi looked at Ruan Lingwei and said in a low voice, "Why don't you want to exchange with her?" Although this Mei Cai person is not a good foundation, it is ......"
What Qing Zhaoyi wanted to say was that she didn't know what Ruan Lingwei was thinking.
"Although my carriage is not big, it is soft and stable, so why should I change it with her? Even if I don't sit, I and Yunshu and a few of them will sit. Ruan Lingwei said confidently.
"Besides, she thinks that her carriage is not good today, and she wants to change it with me, will she have to change it for something else in the future? I don't know her well, so I don't have to worry so much. Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
Qing Zhaoyi was already a very wanton and very fast person, and after listening to Ruan Lingwei's words, she immediately nodded.
"Yes, since your pony carriage is soft, then you must give Yun Shu and Ling Xiao a few seats with them, there is no need to cheap others, so as not to look like you are a bully." Qing Zhaoyi said with a smile.
Ruan Lingwei nodded when she heard this.
Anyway, she doesn't ask for favor in this palace, and she doesn't lack money, so she can live a very comfortable life, and she doesn't need to deliberately befriend anyone, and naturally she doesn't need to please anyone.
It's best not to have anything to do with those concubines in the palace to save trouble.
Yun Shu and the others heard that their master refused to change carriages with Mei Cairen in order to make them sit comfortably, and their hearts were moved, including the three palace maids beside Qing Zhaoyi, who all looked at Ruan Lingwei with a grateful face.
"Alright, it's not early, let's take a nap, and we have to leave again in the afternoon." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
"Okay." Qing Zhaoyi didn't plan to go back to her house, she was here to make do with Ruan Lingwei.
Mei Cairen next door couldn't sleep angrily.
Let's not talk about the carriage, let's talk about this resting house, Ruan Lingwei's spacious and bright, what about her? It is much smaller than Ruan Lingwei, and it is not bright, and the furnishings inside are much worse, not to mention anything else, she does not have the two pots of ice in Ruan Lingwei's house to cool down.
"Don't be angry, maybe the ice basin belongs to Qing Zhaoyi's mother, or maybe it's ...... Ruan Cairen bought it himself, and when Ruan Cairen was in the palace, didn't he buy a few cars of ice for himself? The little palace maid who was waiting on the side whispered.
It's okay if she doesn't say it, but as soon as she says this, Mei Cairen suddenly gets angry.
Is this bullying her for not having silver?
"Let's go." She felt that she could not stay any longer, so she got up and walked outside.
After the little palace maid Biyan saw it, she hurriedly followed.
Mei Cairen was in a particularly bad mood and was not in the mood to rest, so she walked around the post station, hoping that she would meet the emperor.
She hasn't slept for months, and if she doesn't sleep again, the emperor is afraid that he will completely forget about her as a person.
In fact, it is really a very lucky thing to be the emperor's concubine, because although the emperor favors many women, there are very few who really become concubines.
Therefore, even if the status is not high and the monthly silver is not much, Mei Cairen is quite satisfied with his current identity.
It's just that I didn't expect Ruan Lingwei to give her so face.
Not only did the minions bully her and not give her a good carriage and cushions, but Ruan Lingwei also looked down on her.
Mei Cairen spared a few laps and did not meet the emperor, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged in his heart.
"Talented, the emperor should be waiting for the concubine at this time." Bi Yan felt that her master's efforts were completely in vain, but she didn't dare to speak out.
With the noble concubine accompanying the emperor, where will other concubines be given the opportunity to get close to the emperor.
"Let's go outside the station." Mei Cairen commanded in a low voice.
"But talented, before Wu Guang's father-in-law specially sent someone to order, saying that it was the meaning of the concubine, so that the harem concubines were not allowed to leave the palace." Bi Yan hurriedly said.
"Is she afraid that we will have a private relationship with the guards outside?" Mei Cairen scoffed after finishing speaking.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid she really can't help but mess around.
After all, the number of times he sees the emperor in a year can be counted clearly on five fingers.
If it goes on like this, what is the difference between staying alive and being a widow?
The people of the Great Liang Dynasty were civilized, and the defense of men and women was actually not so strict.
Mei Cairen walked out of the post station, and no one stopped her.
"There's a river behind the inn, I saw it when I came, let's go." After Mei Cairen finished speaking, he took Biyan and walked in that direction.
When she reached the river, she realized that there was someone in the pavilion.
"Wen Zhaorong Wan'an." Mei Cairen hurriedly hurried over to say goodbye.
"It turned out to be Mei Cairen, why didn't you rest in the house?" Wen Zhaorong asked with a smile.
In front of others, she didn't dare to say that Ruan Lingwei was not, and she only dared to complain in front of the palace maid in private.
