Li said a few words one after another, but the old lady didn't answer, and she was bored, so she had to leave in a sneer, but the old lady suddenly stopped her: "In the future, Hugh will mention the county lord Yunhe in front of Princess Jing." ”

Li Shi was taken aback, "Why is that?" ”

The old lady said lightly: "That Yunhe county lord was not born to Princess Jing. ”

Ruqing suddenly realized, no wonder, every time the Li family praised the county lord Yunhe in front of Princess Jing, the old lady would interrupt her, because she was afraid that the Li family would not hit the horse's ass, but hit the horse's leg, and it would be worth the loss.

Li Shi froze, and said dumbly: "This --- that, so to speak, this Yunhe County Lord is just a concubine?" ”

"I heard that it came from a concubine's room. However, I heard that Prince Jing especially loves this girl, and he specially asked the emperor for a reward for her. Because of the title given by the emperor himself, outsiders thought that the lord of Yunhe County was born by the princess, but it was not. ”

Li suddenly realized, patted his head, and was annoyed, "So that's the case, why didn't the old lady remind her daughter-in-law earlier, so that her daughter-in-law almost ----" Later, I thought that the old lady did remind her every time, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

The old lady glanced at her lightly and said, "Remind you to do something?" It's too obvious that you're a sycophant. ”

Ruqing almost wanted to laugh out loud, and the old lady said it a little harshly.

Sure enough, Li's face became more and more embarrassed, and he couldn't help but defend himself, "She is a princess, so it's right to stammer." ”

The old lady glared at her and couldn't help but scold: "What about the princess? Do you really think she just came to apologize for her daughter? Don't be naïve. ”

Li was blamed so embarrassed that he couldn't help but retort in front of the juniors: "The daughter-in-law also knows that this Princess Jing must have other purposes, but she always has to --- on the bright side."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know what you mean. Okay, you take the kids down. Remember, do what you have to do. ”

Although Li was not happy, he didn't dare to say anything more, took a few girls and walked a few steps, and said, "Could it be that this Princess Jing has taken a fancy to our girl?" ”

Ruqing's heart jumped, wouldn't it? Is it possible?

*

After a sentence that Li flew from the sky, he was scolded by the old lady twice, and he didn't dare to mention it again, and at the end of the month, she was mobilized again, and she put it into the army of the house's expenses, especially the flowers on Zhang's side, which were calculated very finely, and she was so absorbed in the calculations that she was good to put that sentence behind, but in the eyes and hearts of the girls.

The first reaction was Rumei, but unfortunately the delusion she just came up with was scolded by the Li family, who was settling accounts and getting happier the more he calculated, "Don't you see that I'm doing the right thing?" What are you going to do? What is your identity, what kind of disciple is the Jingwang Mansion, so many famous ladies in Beijing don't want it, but you want to be a little naughty who doesn't know how many big characters you know all day long? Don't dream, if you can practice calligraphy and learn more, and learn more about everyone's decent skills, maybe there is some hope. Lee's words were also moved from the old lady.

Just now, the old lady also scolded the Li family like this, "Don't let so many ladies in Beijing come to our house, and people will coax you so much that you can't find the north in a few words?" What is the identity of our mansion, and what kind of disciple is the Jingwang Mansion? If you really decide on a family affair, Rumei is so young, and she doesn't know a few big words, and she only knows how to play all day long, are you embarrassed to take it to the capital to be embarrassed? Such words scolded Li so much that he could hardly raise his head, and finally dispelled the unrealistic idea, but Rumei bumped into it again, how could he be polite, and vent all the anger he received from the old lady to Rumei.

Pity Rumei, who had not yet made waves in her spring heart, was defeated by her mother, ashamed and angry, yelled at Li and ran away without a trace.

Li Shi saw Rumei's appearance, her face darkened, in fact, even if the old lady didn't hit her, she also had self-knowledge, not to mention how the disciples of King Jing's Mansion were, just say that Rumei, who doesn't understand poetry and is not gentle and well-behaved, Princess Jing will look at that because there is a problem with her eyes.

Thinking of this, Li's heart was gloomy for a while, and he said to himself: "What is the purpose of this Princess Jing coming to our house?" ”

*

Li Shi definitely can't guess if he wants to break his head, Zhang's left and right hands are currently cut off by Li's family, and the news is even more unbright, but she thinks more than Li. A person paced back and forth in the room, holding the bracelet and jade pendant that Princess Jing rewarded Rushan with in his hand, the jade is a good jade, and it is not an extraordinary product at a glance, but it is not said to be more expensive, although the bracelet has a complicated pattern, it is just an ordinary silver bracelet, and it is not worth a few dollars, and I can't help complaining: "Princess Jing is also stingy, and it is so valuable." ”

Rushan suddenly raised his head when he heard this, thought about it again and again, and his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "But what she gave Ruzhen is the top jade bracelet." Rushan's eyesight is a little higher than Zhang's, and his ability to distinguish good goods is still very good, and he can see at a glance that the bracelet is the most valuable, and he is jealous, and he thinks of the hairpin that Princess Jing gave to Rumei, and suddenly he is deflated, "Even Rumei's hairpin is more valuable than me." What kind of medicine does this Princess Jing sell in the gourd? praised me like that in front of the old lady and Li Xiao, but gave me these broken things. ”

Zhang gritted his teeth, "Ruzhen and Rumei are both from the concubine, this Princess Jing will definitely send the expensive ones out if she buys the face of the old lady and the Xiao Li family." It's you, but because of your identity as a concubine, you are as low as them for no reason. , this --- blame me. ”

Rushan has a bitter heart, "How can I complain about my mother, I have to blame myself if I want to complain, I didn't think about it so long-term at the beginning---" blamed myself for being too proud at the beginning, thinking that as long as my mother was favored, if I worked harder, why worry about anything else, now I think about it, it's really a joke. Although her mother is favored, she is only a concubine after all, and she doesn't even have the right to see guests, if she is reincarnated in Li's belly, it will be very different. Thinking of this, Rushan's mood was even lowered.

Zhang didn't know his daughter's thoughts, but judged according to his own thoughts, "Shan'er, don't be discouraged." You have to believe that as long as it's gold, there will always be a time to shine. Now you just don't have the advantage of being a descendant, but so what? Your father also mentioned to me that in order to set a good family affair for you in the future, your father will let you record it in Xiao Li's name. In the future, you will be the identity of a serious child. ”

If she is skeptical, she knows that the children of the concubine have the custom of recording the name of the wife of the main room, but this is just a nice name, who doesn't know the name here.

But Zhang's didn't think so, she thought that if the goodness was really recorded in Xiao Li's name, in the future, when the child got married, Xiao Li would definitely take out part of his dowry to give his daughter a dowry.

Rushan listened to the straight eyes, and felt that his mother was really naïve.

Zhang sneered: "She married into the Fang family, she is a member of the Fang family, and her dowry is also from the Fang family, you are your father's favorite daughter, so you naturally have the right to share her share of the dowry." ”

Rushan said, "Then she will not will." Zhang smiled: "Whether she is willing or not, what does it matter to us, as long as your father agrees." Then he taught Rushan the eighteen secret recipes and skills for women chasing men. Rushan was skeptical when he heard it, and when he heard the last one, he couldn't help but ask: "Mother, can this work?" ”

Zhang glared at his daughter with disgust, "Back then, I got your father in a desperate battle." Don't worry, if the matter really succeeds, then no matter how high the disciple of Jingwangfu is, he will not dare to want you as a daughter-in-law. ”

"But, but, I'm still young?"

"I didn't let you do it now, I did it when the opportunity came, my stupid girl."

Rushan felt that what Zhang said was also reasonable, so he nodded.

*

Rumei's spring had just sprouted, and she was scolded back by Li, crying so much, Ruqing coaxed and begged, and finally coaxed her well. However, Rumei finally figured it out, knowing that she had no skills, no ability, no talent, and no better family background, and Jingwangfu couldn't count on it. But he still hummed in a thick nasal voice, "Mother is really, Rushan can have such thoughts, why can't I?" Am I a descendant? ”

Ruqing wanted to look up to the sky and howl, but she didn't know how to comfort this hateful and lovely sister-in-law.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Rumei puffed out her cheeks again and glared at her: "I'm asking you something, but you are saying something?" ”

Ruqing said slowly: "What do you say?" The second sister is the second sister, you are you, what is she going to do? What's the matter with us? Ruqing means that everyone has their own ambitions, and she can care about others as good.

But Rumei heard it crookedly, and thought about it, so she laughed, "Yes, what's the matter with us?" I'm a serious young lady, I don't dare to be delusional, she still relies on the toad to eat swan meat, hum, she will have her hardships in the future. ”

Ruqing nodded vigorously, "Yes, the third sister is very right." ”

Rumei is a child, after being angry, after crying, she regained her vitality, and after a while, she played with the little girls kicking shuttlecocks. Ruqing took advantage of everyone's inattention to sneak out of Wulan Pavilion and went to Zhu's house.

Because the temperature has dropped sharply these days, Brother Zhili, who has been reading poetry and books, is unfortunately infected with wind and cold, although he has taken medicine and his condition has been alleviated, but he has no appetite, so he wants to eat sour and spicy things. The cook hired by the home remedies house is used to making sutra feasts, meat and vegetarian everything, but this sour and spicy is stumped for a while, and she has made several dishes in a row that are not appetizing, which can make the old lady and the people of the Fang Mansion anxious. You must know that the façade of the Fang Mansion in the next thirty years, whether it is prosperous, prosperous, or even the inheritance, must be supported by Brother Zhili, and its importance is self-evident, and it must not be sloppy.

Li didn't know how to cook, so he personally ordered someone to order a table of sumptuous dishes in the restaurant outside, which is said to be very popular, and Zhili is said to have eaten only half of it.

Aunt Zhang also personally made some appetizing and spleen-strengthening food, but I heard that it was poured into the water root as it was.

Zhu felt that he had to do something, and later obtained Ruqing's consent and instructions, made a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and put enough ingredients, but there was no meat in it. Then when Ruqing took a moment, he personally served it.

Still leading the way, Linglong carrying the bowl, all the way from Zhu's house, passing through Wulan Pavilion, passing through Yiqingxuan, and then all the way to the north, to Zhili's Yisong Courtyard.

Zhili's Yisong Courtyard and Zhiyi's Jinzhu Courtyard are built next to each other, one side of the gate is closed, the other side is people coming and going, and there are several guards in Tsing Yi with knives with big arms and round waists at the entrance of the courtyard and a small ring of hair combs and double buns in and out.

Ruqing's memory of blindness finally came in handy at this time, and she recognized that it was Rushan's maid ring, and it was estimated that Rushan was also in it.

So I caught a guy who was about the same age as himself and interrogated, only to learn that the prince of King Jing was still in Zhiyi, and Rushan and Zhilian were also in it.

Ruqing stopped for a long time, feeling that she couldn't pick her shoulders and couldn't write poetry, so she still didn't want to join the excitement, so she asked Linglong to buckle the copper iron ring on the gate of Yisong Courtyard.

Brother Zhili has always been quiet, it is quiet in the courtyard, and the people walk silently, Ruqing was led by the little maid Shunzi, all the way through the middle and front yards, into the main hall, and then into Zhili's study. Then I smelled a strong smell of medicine, and a big girl was holding a fan to fan the wind in the medicine stove, and a small earthen pot was boiling in the stove, and the smell of medicine was bubbling on it. Zhili, on the other hand, turned his back to himself and buried himself in reading.

Suddenly, Ruqing felt that this eldest brother was also very hard, for the glory of the ancestors, for the bright façade of the Fang Mansion, he got up on the fifth watch, went to bed at the time of his son, ten years like a day, rain or shine, thunder and thunder, no one knew about the hard work, and no one asked about the tiredness. The world only knows that he enjoys the honor and all the superior treatment of the eldest son of Fang Fuyan, but they don't know that behind his enjoyment of this treatment, he has paid hardships and sweat that ordinary people can't imagine.

Zhili was a little surprised when he found Ruqing's arrival, but he still greeted lightly: "The fourth sister is here, is there something?" His voice was flat, with a hint of hoarseness.

Ruqing obediently greeted Zhili, "The eldest brother is sick and has no appetite, so the sister asked her aunt to make some appetizing food and send it to the eldest brother. Then he took the food box in Linglong's hand, opened it himself, put it on Zhili's desk, and opened it, and the black hot and sour noodles came to his nose with a strong vinegar smell.

Ruqing said very seriously: "Big brother, try it, if you can still eat it, even if you tell me, I will ask my aunt to make you two more bowls." ”

The people in the Zhili house were very eye-catching, and after a while, chopsticks and plates had been prepared, Zhili took the chopsticks and ate two bites, then put down the chopsticks, and said lightly to Ruqing: "Well, it's not bad, thank you for the fourth sister's heart." ”

Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether this hot and sour powder was in line with Zhili's appetite or not, but it was not rejected after all, and it was not poured out in front of her, which was already a big face for her and Aunt Zhu. Zhiqing said some blessings and the like, and then left.

Out of Yisong Courtyard, I vaguely heard faint music from Yiqing Xuan.

Ruqing stopped and listened carefully, except for Rushan's fondness for vocal music, there was no one else in the house, at this time, could it be her playing?

It's just that this music is clearly coming from Yiqingxuan, when did Rushan leave Jinzhu Courtyard, return to his yard, and play the piano again?

couldn't help but look towards the Jinzhu Courtyard again, there were still several guards with strong clothes and guards at the gate of the courtyard, proving that Li Xiao had not left, this Rushan liked to tie up with the powerful so much, why did he leave early?

At this time, Linglong couldn't help but say: "What kind of fame are these two girls doing?" What kind of piano are you playing at this time? It's like killing a pig. Ugly. Then he looked disgusted.

Ruqing was amused by her adjectives, and she explained: "The second sister may only be familiar with the lyrics, but there are no ready-made notes, listen carefully, isn't this debugging the notes?" "Although the tune is staccato and staccato, you can still hear the extraordinary parts of the song.

Linglong couldn't help but stare at her master with a strange gaze, and muttered in her mouth, "I don't talk and don't make drafts, how did the girl hear this extraordinary song?" ”

Ruqing Zhenzhen said, "This is the enduring old song "Canghai Laughs", can I not hear it?" ”

Linglong wondered even more, and thought to herself: Is it because I am not well-informed, when did I release a song that has lasted for a long time, why have I never heard it?

Back in Wulan Pavilion, Rumei was losing her temper, and Ruqing hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, third sister, who made you angry?" ”

Rumei said angrily: "It's not like a good J person, what kind of broken tune do you play, don't play if you can't play, it's so ugly, it's like killing a pig." In order to prove that the song of Rushan is indeed the killing of pigs, he also covered his ears with his hands and made an unbearable appearance.

Ruqing listened carefully, and this time the rebound was smooth, and she could faintly hear the majestic feeling in the song, but the tone was still jerky, probably because she hadn't practiced the song yet.

However, if you make good use of the piano to play "A Laugh in the Sea", although it is not bad, but it is always a bit of a sense of no kind, according to her, it should be accompanied by the drum, or accompanied by the pipa, it should be more effective.

Rumei couldn't listen anymore, and finally grabbed Ruqing's arm angrily and shouted, "Go, accompany me over to stop her." ”

Ruqing hurriedly shook off her hand, "Third sister, I think it's better to forget it, the second sister is ----"

"What does she want to do?" Rumei turned her head and glared at Ruqing, "Hmph, in fact, if you don't say it, I know that she wants to use music to attract King Jing's son." Hmph, that's a good idea. ”
