After Zhou Jingrong knew about Qi Ruyan or Aunt Xue's help, a plan took shape in her heart.

She decided to meet Qi Ruyan first, to see if this person was as she thought in her heart, and if she couldn't convince her, it would be good to add some blockage to her.

Zhou Jingrong thought about it, spread out the paper, and made a painting seriously.

When Fu Yunshen entered the house, what he saw was the scene of Zhou Jingrong's painting.

She sat in front of the bookcase, her back straight, her body leaning forward slightly, regardless of the image, the wide sleeves of her robe were rolled up, and her lacquer-like eyes fell intently on the paper, and her serious appearance was fascinating.

Fu Yunshen walked to Zhou Jingrong's side lightly, as if he was afraid of scaring her, and asked softly, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Jingrong kept writing and replied without raising his head: "I want to meet Qi Ruyan, but I am afraid that she will not be literate, so I will paint a picture for her." ”

Fu Yunshen subconsciously frowned, and looked at Zhou Jingrong disapprovingly: "Qi Ruyan, that woman doesn't eat soft and hard, you don't want to contact her, I'm not at ease." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled indifferently: "What's the matter, are you still afraid that she will bully me?" ”

Fu Yunshen was indeed afraid that Zhou Jingrong would suffer, so he nodded seriously.

Zhou Jingrong was dumbfounded.

In terms of intelligence, she thinks that she is well-organized, and she will not fall behind when it comes to distinguishing from others; and is also a woman, she can figure out Qi Ruyan's intentions, so as to find her weaknesses.

In terms of physical strength, she has always adhered to the principle that the body is the capital of the revolution, not only eats a lot, but also exercises diligently.

With such a strong fighting power, he was still worried that she would be bullied?

Is this the so-called self-filtering in the eyes of lovers?

Zhou Jingrong said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just talking to her, it's okay." ”

Fu Yunshen was a little apologetic and very moved. Zhou Jingrong and Qi Ruyan had nothing to do with each other, but for him, they had to put down their bodies and deal with them.

Fu Yunshen's heart moved, he bent down, wrapped his arms around Zhou Jingrong's waist, and hugged her from behind.

Zhou Jingrong was interrupted by his sudden move, and with a shake of his hand, a drop of ink appeared on the snow-white rice paper.

Zhou Jingrong pushed him with her elbow and complained, "What are you doing?" ”

Fu Yunshen put his chin against her neck socket, rubbed it like a large dog, and said in a muffled voice: "Rongrong, you are so good." ”

Tolerance? Ahem, did she give this slimy nickname her permission?

Zhou Jingrong put down the pen, stood up from Fu Yunshen's arms, turned to face him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who allowed you to call it that?" ”

Zhou Jingrong looked dissatisfied, but the shame in her eyes was not a deterrent.

Fu Yunshen blinked his eyes and teased her evilly: "Then it's called ...... Rong Rong baby, Rong Rong heart and liver, Rong Rong ......"

Zhou Jingrong hurriedly clenched his fists and begged for mercy, willing to bow down.

Cheng, you can call it whatever you like, anyway, she just got goosebumps when she got up, and she couldn't die, Zhou Jingrong thought to herself.

Fu Yunshen finished teasing Zhou Jingrong, and said with a straight face full of shame: "It's me who dragged you down, the shop is already laborious, and you have to be distracted by this kind of thing." ”

Zhou Jingrong heard Fu Yunshen say this, she was very upset, she pursed her lips, and said, "Actually, it seems that I dragged you down." ”

Zhou Jingrong informed Fu Yunshen that Aunt Xue might be involved in it, if Aunt Xue dragged Fu Yunshen into the water in order to hit her, wouldn't she be dragging him down.

Fu Yunshen saw that Zhou Jingrong looked guilty, took her into his arms, looked at her and said seriously: "If you talk about it, you are targeted by the Song family, or you are dragged down by me." We are husband and wife, and we are one and the same, so let's not talk about who is involved in whom. ”

Zhou Jingrong glared at him: "Obviously, you said it first." ”

Fu Yunshen chuckled a few times, and a low laugh came into Zhou Jingrong's ears from his chest, beating like a drum: "Okay, don't talk about it, then you will bother the lady to help her husband." ”

Zhou Jingrong lowered her eyes, her fingers twisted Fu Yunshen's clothes for a while, and said arrogantly: "For the sake of your good looks." ”

*

Zhou Jingrong and Qi Ruyan made an appointment to meet in Qi Wuju.

Zhou Jingrong knew that Qi Ruyan was about the same age as herself, but she didn't expect that she looked much older than her actual age - not maturity, but vicissitudes.

Come to think of it, it is not easy for a single woman who has no family to rely on to live alone in this world. But this is not a reason for her to destroy other people's families and blackmail others into marrying her.

There is no need to understand, and there is no need to be sympathetic.

Although Qi Ruyan has a mediocre appearance and a simple dress, her cold complexion also adds a unique temperament to her.

After she sat down, she said coldly: "I don't know why Fu Er/Grandma invited me to come?" ”

Qi Ruyan asked knowingly, of course she knew what Zhou Jingrong was looking for her.

Originally, she climbed Yang Ruyuan just to marry him, but who would have thought that it would cause such a butterfly effect, and actually involved several students who were going to participate in the township examination.

After a moment of panic, she settled down and felt that it was better.

Even if Yang Ruyuan doesn't care about his reputation, will he still delay those students? Even if it was for the future of Fu Yunshen and the others, he would compromise with her and quickly agree to marry her to end the negative impact of this matter.

Qi Ruyan felt very confident, she didn't even care about Fu Yunshen's coercion and temptation, how could she put Zhou Jingrong in her eyes.

She didn't need to come to see Zhou Jingrong, but she was curious about the painting she sent.

She looked at the painting, and seemed to vaguely understand the meaning that Zhou Jingrong wanted to express, but she couldn't grasp that feeling, so she came to the appointment in order to solve the confusion in her heart.

Before Zhou Jingrong could speak, Qi Ruyan asked again: "What is the meaning of the painting sent by Fu Er/Grandma?" ”

Zhou Jingrong's painting of Qi Ruyan is very simple, the painting is a big tree with lush leaves, the tree is full of red fruits, moist and full, very attractive. However, the trunk of the seemingly luxuriant tree has been hollowed out by moths, and the same is true of the fruit.

Zhou Jingrong smiled faintly: "It's just the meaning of the picture." ”

Qi Ruyan frowned, her face was puzzled, and she was about to ask, when Zhou Jingrong suddenly asked, "Aunt Xue has found you, right?" ”

Qi Ruyan didn't feel that this matter was unacceptable, so he responded frankly: "So what? ”

Zhou Jingrong asked with interest, "What did she say to you?" ”

Qi Ruyan looked impatient, and wanted to say "What does it have to do with you", but Zhou Jingrong didn't give her a chance to answer, and said to herself: "According to Aunt Xue's character, what she said is not difficult to guess. ”

Qi Ruyan looked at Zhou Jingrong, only to see her smile confidently: "Did she say that you are a woman, alone, it is difficult to gain a foothold, you should plan for yourself as soon as possible." Mr. Yang has a meritorious reputation, a wealthy family, a noble character, and a life-saving grace for you, so he should be a good match. Mrs. Yang is gentle and kind, the most tolerant and generous, you are a concubine, and you will not be treated harshly if you have such a housewife. ”

Qi Ruyan didn't care about what Zhou Jingrong said at first, but the more she listened to her, the more shocked she became.

She was obviously not there, but as if she had heard their conversation, she actually told Aunt Xue what she said.

Zhou Jingrong watched Qi Ruyan's expression change, and knew that she had guessed correctly.

She held her cheeks, played with the lid of the tea bowl, and seemed to be chatting with her friends as casually and casually: "Isn't it good to marry a small family and be a wife, why do you have to be a concubine?" Do you understand what the word concubine represents? ”

Qi Ruyan glanced at Zhou Jingrong inexplicably, not understanding what she was talking about. A concubine is a concubine, what else can it be?

Zhou Jingrong was very patient and slowly analyzed her: "A concubine for one day, a concubine for life." Let's take Aunt Xue as an example, my mother has been dead for more than ten years, and my father dotes on her so much, but he didn't help her as a wife. Mr. Yang is a scholar, and it is impossible for him to do such an impolite thing. Even if there is no Mrs. Yang, he will only marry his stepfamily, and you can only be a concubine forever. And a concubine like Aunt Xue, in the eyes of my concubine, is just a subordinate. No matter how much she won my father's affection, she saw that I was not a good screaming girl, waiting for me. Besides, her daughter can never be called her mother, she can only be called an aunt. If I am happy, I will not interfere in her marriage. But if I'm not happy, maybe I'll let her be like her aunt, go to someone's house to be a concubine, and let others rub it flat and knead it. Look, I'm just a concubine, and I can handle my father's concubine and the concubine born to her at will. So for the main mother, what is the concubine, and what is the concubine to give birth to? ”

Qi Ruyan listened to Zhou Jingrong's words, and gradually panicked. She just thinks that the Yang family is a good destination, and she hasn't thought about it that far!

And didn't Aunt Xue say that although Zhou Jingshu is a concubine, she is very favored? As long as she is loved by the master, she and the child's status will not be inferior. Besides, Mrs. Yang is gentle and kind, and she will not pinch her.

Zhou Jingrong seemed to see through what she was thinking, and sneered: "Do you think that if Mrs. Yang is kind, you must have a good life?" Do you remember the incident of Mrs. Song who caused a lot of trouble in the city before? Mrs. Song has a good reputation, she is amiable, and she still eats fasting and recites Buddha, but she is not actually human-faced and beast-hearted. This is the meaning of the painting I gave you, you can't just look at the surface, the surface is shiny, who knows if the inside is rotten. ”

Qi Ruyan looked at Zhou Jingrong suspiciously, suspicious in his heart. Could it be that Mrs. Yang is also like Mrs. Song, who is kind on the surface but dark on the inside?

But Qi Ruyan is indeed a resolute person, she was confused for a while and then became firm again: "Alarmist, if you want to shake my heart, I won't be fooled!" ”

Qi Ruyan got up angrily and threw up his sleeves to leave.

Zhou Jingrong didn't stop her, but said quietly: "Do you know why after the accident, Mr. Yang looked for you, Mr. Yang's students also looked for you, and even I came to look for you, but Mrs. Yang didn't show up for a long time?" ”

Qi Ruyan paused, and subconsciously thought that because of Mrs. Yang's weakness, Yu Fujun would not stop her from taking a concubine.

Zhou Jingrong smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "That's because she's waiting for you to marry in." ”

Obviously, it sounds like a good word, which shows that Mrs. Yang is willing to accept her. But looking at the gloomy smile on Zhou Jingrong's face, revealing an indescribable weirdness, Qi Ruyan's heart inexplicably swelled with a piercing chill.
