Chapter 496
"Miss! Liuli and Yunduo have already gone to the second gate to greet them, do you still need to order this? Amber said with a smile. said, but muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen you so excited when the prince came!" β
Gu Ruoxi didn't hear what she muttered, and was a little surprised: "Both of them went to greet her?" This is really ......" Before he finished speaking, he turned into bursts of laughter. Immediately after, she instructed Amber: "You go, take out a few new clothes that my father has asked the tailor to make for me these days, pick out a few beautiful ones, and give them to Miss Ren later." β
Hearing this, Amber's eyes flashed, and she said, "Miss, those clothes, but you personally drew and designed them yourself a few days ago, and you really want to give them all to Miss Ren?" β
"She helped me a lot in the nunnery before, just give her a few clothes, what's wrong?" Gu Ruoxi smiled and didn't care at all.
Amber saw it, nodded immediately, and said resignedly: "Okay, I'll go get it." β
She is now Gu Ruoxi's personal maid, since Xuanyuan Jingxi decided to let her stay here, Amber has regarded herself as an old mother, she only took a few days to become familiar with all the things of Gu Ruoxi, and even the placement of them is clearly remembered, so she can agree to be so refreshing at this time.
When Ren Jiaying was led to this courtyard by Yun Duo Liuli, Amber had already taken out all the clothes that Gu Ruoxi said and put them on a wide cool floor in the house.
Gu Ruoxi didn't expect her to take it out so quickly, and hurriedly said, "You put it away quickly!" You can take it out when Miss Ren is about to leave! β
Amber rolled her eyes, and moved it into the inner room, and didn't put it in the cupboard, but put it within reach.
While speaking, Ren Jiaying arrived. There were two maids beside him, but they were not allowed to enter the house, and they were waiting outside.
Gu Ruoxi had been lying on the bed for several days, and when she saw Ren Jiaying arrive, she was busy struggling to get off the ground, and Yun Duo, Liuli and others hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Miss! You're not in good shape! Don't do it! β
"I hurt my arm, not my leg!" Gu Ruoxi was very helpless. Yasheng Junior Brother.
Ren Jiaying looked at Gu Ruoxi's helpless appearance, she giggled, she stepped forward and said, "Your injury is healed quite quickly!" It's just that no matter how fast you are, you can't be strong! β
Gu Ruoxi glanced at her with a smile and said, "Even you are making fun of me!" Please be seated! β
Ren Jiaying sat down with a smile, she glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "How much time is there before you can be all right?" β
"Hey, it's actually not a big deal, I can ...... it now" Gu Ruoxi said forcefully, but before she finished speaking, Yun Duo and Liuli glared at her, and swallowed the second half of her unfinished words.
Ren Jiaying glanced Gu Ruoxi up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "I see that you have been raising well in the past few days, and your spirit is very good, your face."
The color is also ruddy, and if the weather is good, you can go out and bask in the sun, so that the recovery will be faster. β
"Do you hear that?" Gu Ruoxi turned her head and looked at the maids around her one by one.
Liuli said helplessly: "Miss Ren, you should persuade my young lady more, lie down on the bed well, don't always think about going to the ground, she is weak, and it is cold outside, what if she is frozen again?" β
When Ren Jiaying heard this, the smile on her face slowly faded, she sighed and said, "Miss Liuli, don't you know how eager this person who has been lying in bed for a long time is eager to go down to the ground, even if it's basking in the sun!" β
"You're absolutely right! I want to go down right now! Gu Ruoxi hurriedly echoed.
Liuli's face changed, and she was about to answer, but she saw Ren Jiaying and continued: "My eldest brother, who was sick in bed all the year round, wanted to go down and walk around very much, but his body was too empty, but this wish has never been fulfilled." β
"Your eldest brother is sick all the time?" Gu Ruoxi was very surprised when he heard this.
No wonder in the capital only knows the name of the eldest lady of the family, but there is no name of the eldest young master of the Ren family.
Ren Jiaying nodded and said: "Yes, a few years ago, because of an accident, he injured his legs, and then he has been sick in bed, for four years, he has never walked out of that room, what he often tells me is that in this life, you can't always lie in bed, because lying down, your body will take root, and then you will never be able to stand up again." β
These words, with inexplicable sadness, Liuli and Amber and other girls were silent, and no one could say a word again.
"Miss Ren, please don't be too sad." Gu Ruoxi said loudly, originally he wanted to say that he wanted to say that he wanted to mourn, but she soon reacted that she couldn't say this.
Ren Jiaying smiled and said, "It's nothing, although my eldest brother can't walk on the ground, he has always been very tenacious, I will only be happy for him, and I will never be sad." β
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his heart moved, but he didn't speak.
Ren Jiaying smiled and said, "Look at me, I originally came to visit you today, but I talked about it, okay, don't talk about him." As he spoke, he paused and said, "When I came, I passed by Xingfangzhai and I bought some cloud cakes, I don't know if you like to eat them?" β
"Cloud cake?" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Naturally, I like it!" β
In fact, whatever pastries she wants to eat, Amber Liuli and so on, she will go out to buy them for her, so she doesn't have to be so happy, but this is specially bought by Ren Jiaying, of course she has to be happy.
Ren Jiaying smiled slightly, beckoned outside, and soon a little maid with a double sideburns skirt walked in, put a food box on the table and retreated.
"Although I didn't make these pastries myself, the honey and ingredients used in them were our own home, because I loved the cook's handiwork.
Let him process it, Miss Gu Er, you can taste it. Ren Jiaying said with a smile. When Gu Ruoxi heard this, when he stretched out his head to look, he saw that there were more than a dozen milky white pastries in the food box, which was easy to arouse people's appetite at a glance, and as soon as the box was opened, a faint sweet smell immediately drifted in the air. It smells good.
Liuli stepped forward to clean Gu Ruoxi's hands, and then brought the plate over.
Gu Ruoxi reached out and took a bite of it, but it melted in her mouth, and it was extremely sweet, and she immediately praised: "It is indeed a rare good pastry!" β
Her compliment was genuine, because the pastry was delicious.
Ren Jiaying smiled slightly and said, "It's rare that you like it very much, so eat a few more pieces." β
Gu Ruoxi took a bite of the pastry and said, "You eat it too!" You put this pastry here, I don't have anything to do here! β
"This is a good job done by the shopkeeper, and I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Ren Jiaying smiled slightly, but she didn't brush Gu Ruoxi's kindness. After cleaning his hands, he took a piece and ate it himself.
The two women who have experienced danger here are chattering here, and in the Cuizhu Xuan over there, Jinye Hou came to see Aunt Su again.
This time, he glanced at Jinhuan again.
Jinhuan is also specially dressed up today, with eyebrows like daisies, bright red lips, after Jinye Hou left that day, she has thought carefully, she thinks, from the stunning glance of Jinye Hou, what he likes more in his heart is his own way, rather than Aunt Su's sick and crooked appearance.
Sure enough, she expected it right, and when Jinye Hou was accompanying Aunt Su to eat, she couldn't help but look at this side frequently.
Jinhuan was very proud in his heart. I didn't think about why she was ready to seduce at all, and Hou Ye took the bait himself.
When Jinye waited to leave, he left a sentence to come to Cuizhuxuan to rest at night.
This news not only made Aunt Su excited, but even Jinhuan was very excited, because she felt that her opportunity had come!
β¦β¦
Inside the Zhiyu Courtyard, Gu Ruoxi looked at Ren Jiaying with a surprised face, and asked, "You mean, your grandfather, is ready to agree to the emperor's request and marry you to Prince Lian as the step-princess?" β
Ren Jiaying said with a gloomy face: "It's true, this matter was personally discussed by the Holy Lord with my grandfather." Later, Prince Lian's mother, Concubine Shufei Niangniang, summoned me into the palace again, and this is what she said. I ......"
Gu Ruoxi glanced at her with some concern, and said, "This Prince Lian has a heart, and if you marry him, you won't be happy." In front of Ren Jiaying, she didn't reveal the matter of Xuanyuan Shu and Gu Yuetong, which was regarded as giving her some face.
But she regarded Ren Jiaying as a friend, so naturally she wouldn't watch her jump into the fire pit.
Ren Jiaying was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "I don't know this, but I have seen that Prince Lian, he is probably."
It's because I'm always on the battlefield.,There's a murderous aura on your body.γ I don't really like him. As he spoke, he frowned slightly. She told Gu Ruoxi what was on her mind today, but she didn't know if she would laugh at herself in her heart.
"You haven't met him a few times, so it's normal to don't like it." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, then it's troublesome." β
"What do you mean by that?" Ren Jiaying was a little puzzled.
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she began to bow her head and ponder.
She always remembered what Xuanyuan Shu said when she met Gu Xiaoye in the middle of the night not far from the Jinye study, and it could be seen from those words that Xuanyuan Shu actually really liked Gu Yuetong.
With Gu Ruoxi's understanding of Xuanyuan Shu, he is extremely ambitious and very tolerant, judging from the fact that he helped Gu Xiaoye to deal with himself, his fundamental purpose is still for Gu Yuetong. Being able to watch his beloved woman marry another man, and he smiles and blesses him, this man is not simple at all!
What's even more simple is that he never gave up.
Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi launched a bold guess in his heart.
If Xuanyuan Shu's purpose has always been Gu Yuetong, then he must have wanted to stay with her for a long time, Prince Xuanyuan Yan is an obstacle, and there is ......
Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi immediately raised his head at Ren Jiaying and asked, "I heard that Prince Lian is not dead yet, is it?" β
"But I'm terminally ill, and it won't take long for me to die." Ren Jiaying said sadly. She felt very sad for the woman who died soon.
"Could it be that when his wife is dead, Prince Lian doesn't have to keep filial piety?" Gu Ruoxi couldn't help asking.
Ren Jiaying raised her eyes and glanced at her, and sighed: "Second Miss Gu, you are still too naΓ―ve, how can such a thing as keeping filial piety for your wife appear in the Tian family?" Prince Lian and Princess Lian are not dead yet, they are already engaged to our family, do they still care about this? β
"That's right." Gu Ruoxi said indignantly: "Why is it that when a man dies, a woman has to keep festivals for her husband for the rest of her life, but when a woman dies, her husband can marry another room anytime and anywhere, this is too unfair!" β
Ren Jiaying nodded and said, "That's right!" Isn't that unfair? As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Do you have any wine here?" I want to drink a little! β
"Yes!" Amber immediately turned and walked out. came back in an instant, brought a jar of wine in his hand, and said to Ren Jiaying: "This is plum wine, it's not too strong, you drink it just right." As he spoke, he opened the altar and took the cup.
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly shouted, "I want to drink it too!" β
"Pull you down!" Amber raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "You are still drinking medicine!" People who can't even get out of bed are not qualified to drink. β
Ren Jiaying laughed when she heard this.
Gu Ruoxi pursed her lips, looked at the wine jar and sighed.
She has long seen that although Ren Jiaying is a girl, she has the boldness of a man in her temperament, the encounter at the city gate, as well as the invitation at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and the struggle to rescue her on the mountain, it can be seen that this is a woman with a fiery temperament, it is for this reason that Gu Ruoxi wants to make friends with her, she is gray and full of tricks in her life, she can have a person like Xuanyuan Jingxi who loves each other infatuatedly, and a woman with a good temperament like Ren Jiaying as a companion, she is really content.
Amber poured a glass of wine and handed it to Ren Jiaying, the wine was clear and mellow, and Gu Ruoxi could smell the good smell even when she was sitting on the bed. She couldn't help but be frustrated, where is this wine, in modern times, it is probably a drink like orange juice, right? Why don't you give her a drink? Why not give?
When Gu Ruoxi was thinking about it, Ren Jiaying had already raised her head and drank a whole glass of wine.
"Good wine!" Ren Jiaying put down the cup, two blushes had risen on her cheeks, and her face became more and more beautiful. Even Gu Ruoxi was already a little stunned.
"As a woman, you should love vigorously and hate your heart to cry blood! I don't say in my life that I want to marry the best son in the world, at least it should be the one I like in my heart! β
After saying this, Ren Jiaying poured herself a glass of wine, raised her neck and drank it, but said with some irony: "I have lived with such a creed for more than ten years, and then one day I found that I can't do this at all, because you don't have a choice, your future is in the hands of your elders and the emperor, but it has nothing to do with you at all!" β
As she spoke, she lowered the wine glass in her hand heavily.
Gu Ruoxi was shocked by the sentence 'love is vigorous, hateful cone cone crying blood', and before she could react, Ren Jiaying's third glass of wine began to drink again.
"Quick! Stop her! What should I do if I get drunk? Gu Ruoxi hurriedly shouted.
Jin Se immediately made a move and snatched the cup from Ren Jiaying's hand.
Ren Jiaying sat there in a daze, without reaching out to ask for more.
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly commanded Liuli: "Quick! Go get a few more handkerchiefs! She's going to cry! β
"Who said I was going to cry?" At this time, Ren Jiaying spoke up again, she turned her head, and grinned at Gu Ruoxi, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying.
Gu Ruoxi was very distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Jiaying, don't be sad!" Things haven't settled down yet, maybe there will be some turnaround, don't be so sad, okay? β
"Don't comfort me anymore." Ren Jiaying smiled bitterly: "The emperor may even have written the holy decree for marriage, just wait for Prince Lian and Princess Lian to die, and then announce it to the world......"
"As long as this decree has not been issued, there will be a turnaround!" Gu Ruoxi took Ren Jiaying's hand on the edge of the bed, and said solemnly: "That Prince Lian is really."
Are you terminally ill? Don't have the ability to go back to heaven at all? "Yasage Claw.
Ren Jiaying nodded and said, "Concubine Shuniang has invited almost all the imperial doctors in the palace to check the pulse of Prince Lian, and every imperial doctor said that they can only prepare to take care of the future." β
There was deep sadness and helplessness in her tone, and she couldn't tell whether she was grieving for Princess Lian or herself.
Gu Ruoxi looked at her twice fixedly, and said, "Jiaying, according to the laws of this dynasty, under what circumstances are men not allowed to get married?" β
"Miss, Prince Lian is the prince, he can't marry a wife, unless it's the queen mother, or the emperor, the whole country mourns when the concubine returns to heaven, then he will never be able to marry a wife, even if he is engaged, it will also need to be delayed in the future." Amber interjected, "But this situation is impossible to happen now, so don't think about it." β
Ren Jiaying nodded and said, "You're right, that's basically the case." As she spoke, she turned her head, smiled at Gu Ruoxi, and said, "I'm here to visit you today, why are you talking about this?" Stop! Let's talk about something else, Ruoxi, what do you do at home on weekdays? β
Nowadays, the two of them are referred to by their names, and they are no longer polite young ladies to come and go.
Gu Ruoxi looked at Ren Jiaying's forced smile, and couldn't bear to refuse, so she immediately followed her meaning: "I like to read some medical books on weekdays, what about you?" β
Ren Jiaying sat for more than an hour before leaving.
Guruoxi sent Amber to deliver it personally.
Ren Jiaying hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No need, the Ren family and the Hou Mansion are not too far away, just three streets away, I took a carriage, and it will be there soon, on such a cold day, don't let her suffer this crime." β
