Chapter 199: Blocking the Way
The three of them had not come out of the upstairs room, but they could see from the window railing, and there was a figure shaking.
When Cangxi came to the stage, many people applauded below, but when Cangxi came to the stage, he said to the box where Ruan Cailing was, "Today, our eldest lady invites the third lady to listen to the play, and we will present a play "Meilou Forgetfulness"!" β
At this time, even those who just came knew that Ruan Cailing and Wang Ning were sitting together.
In the evening, Wen Rushi and Gu Jinxi came together, one to pick up Ruan Cailing and the other to pick up his wife.
"Xianggong."
"Jinxi."
After opening the door, the two of them walked behind their respective sweethearts, but it seemed that Su Bangyue was a little lonely, but Su Bangyue had never cared about this, and after these two people came in, Qingrui closed the door.
"How? Negotiable? Gu Jinxi asked Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing looked at Wang Ning and nodded, "From now on, Wang Ning will be my friend, Lord Wen, you must often let your lady come to listen to the drama with me." β
"That's for sure! Thank you for your willingness to help. Wen Rushi said.
He has always had a headache about Bai Fufu and the elders in the family, and it is a day to delay it, but since Bai Fufu has come to the capital, he will definitely be urging her to marry her in the near future, and Ning Ning will have no status at that time!
Originally, the elders in the family thought that Ning Ning was a concubine, and being able to marry their family was already a promotion, but he couldn't help it.
After he and Ning Ning's first child was beaten down by the elders in the family, he was very sad and had a big trouble with the elders in the family, but his father and mother promised that they would not do it anymore, so the relationship eased, but after that, Ning Ning was always frightened and didn't dare to get pregnant at all.
He also wants a child with Ning Ning.
And he heard that Bai Fufu had an unusual relationship with many men when he was in his hometown, although Jiang Nan's answer to him was because Bai Fufu's personality was more like a boy, so it was better to play with teenagers.
But it's all just for friends.
But Wen Rushi still felt that something was wrong.
Wen Rushi thought right about this, Ruan Cailing said, "You're right, I've already asked people to stare at Bai Fufu's passenger station, as long as there are strangers around, I will definitely know, today is just a test of the waters, and when I know more, there will be a reply to this matter." β
"Then thank you for your help!" Wen Rushi made another move.
Ruan Cailing raised her hand, "You have helped Jin Xi a lot, you have repeatedly failed to win the move over the years because of his orders, I only helped you a small favor, oh yes, the matter of the court, did you listen to what my eldest brother told you?" β
When Xie Qingyuan was in the court today, he mentioned the border city again, and he seemed to be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions.
He had long listened to Gu Jinxi's meaning, was silent, and did not speak until now.
"The news of your eldest brother has already been released, don't worry, and I heard that the Duke of Dingguo entered the emperor's study after the dynasty, and he hasn't come out yet." Gu Jinxi said.
Ruan Cailing glanced at Gu Jinxi, "My father mentioned this matter at the dinner table in the morning, and my eldest brother and I have already told my eldest brother, so there shouldn't be any problems." β
"That's for the best." Gu Jinxi said.
Once talking about things in the court, Su Bangyue and Wang Ning couldn't interject into their mouths, but these two people started watching the play at the window, singing from Cangxi to another woman to sing, the drama of Yanhualou is really different, this is the first time Wang Ning has come to see the play.
"How's it going, is it pretty?" Wen Rushi asked Wang Ning in a gentle voice.
Wang Ning nodded, "It's good-looking, I've never seen such a good-looking play!" Will I be able to come more often in the future? She looked back at Wen Rushi expectantly, this kind of gaze made Wen Rushi even more distressed, and she didn't wait for Wen Rushi to answer.
Ruan Cailing said, "I said that you are my sister, so you naturally want to come often!" You can rest assured that from today onwards, no matter where you go, no one will dare to stop you! β
Bai Fufu, who was checking the news downstairs, saw that Wen Rushi had also gone up, and was even more angry.
"Isn't it just a concubine! How can you meet someone of such high status? Who was the man who followed Rushi just now? Bai Fufu asked the maid.
Recently, the maid has gone out to inquire about the news, and she doesn't know much.
The maid said, "That was the prince of King Xuan's mansion just now!" It's upstairs now, the fiancΓ© of the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion! The emperor's decree has been decided! β
The prince of Xuanwangfu? Is it higher than Wen Rushi's status? If she can marry into the Xuanwang Mansion......
However, a few people upstairs would not give her this opportunity, when it was getting late, the carriage had already stopped at the door, Wen Rushi directly took Wang Ning into the carriage of their courtyard, and Gu Jinxi took the carriage given by the emperor and Ruan Cailing back to the Dingguo Mansion together.
The carriage drove slowly, and on the way Su Bangyue said goodbye to them and went home, Ruan Cailing was talking to Gu Jinxi about the scene she heard in Yanhualou today, when suddenly the carriage was bumpy, and Ruan Cailing's body shook and almost fell.
It was still Gu Jinxi who hugged Ruan Cailing with a quick hand.
"What's going on? Can't even look at the road? Gu Jinxi shouted at Jiang Chen outside.
However, Jiang Chen said, "This ...... Miss Shizi, suddenly someone stopped outside the carriage. β
Someone?
Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi glanced at each other.
Sure enough, I'm impatient to wait!
"Miss, do you want to drive people away?" Jiang Chen asked.
At this time, there were not many people on the street, since they appeared in front of their carriage, they must have deliberately stopped the carriage, there were not many people who dared to stop this carriage, and there was only one name in Ruan Cailing's heart that would appear near their carriage today, at this time, just at the right time.
Ruan Cailing lifted the curtain and came out, and sure enough, she saw Bai Fufu's face.
It is no different from the portrait Jiang Chen gave her, but it looks a little rounder, Ruan Cailing looked at Bai Fufu and asked with a strange look, "Who are you?" Dare to stop Miss Ben's carriage! β
"The people's girl Bai Fufu, I have seen the eldest lady, I have seen the son!"
Gu Jinxi, who was sitting in the carriage, heard this, a smile curled up at the corner of his lips, and his fingers beat on his knees.
He clearly didn't show his body and didn't make any sound, but the people under the carriage knew that he must be in the carriage, and he must have followed them since the beginning of Yanhualou.
No wonder, Ruan Ruan calculated everything.
She stayed in Meng Tianlong's courtyard for two hours last night, and went again before leaving home this morning to make sure that nothing went wrong, just because she had already arrived, and when she left Yanhua Tower, this person would appear.
That's why Ruan Cailing responded.
"White Fufu? I've never heard your name! Do you have something to do with Miss Ben? Ruan Cailing asked knowingly.
Bai Fufu, who was kneeling on the ground, had not yet risen, and did not even raise her head.
"The people's daughter, please the eldest lady and the prince to call the shots! The folk girl and Wen Rushi of the Wen family have had a marriage contract since they were children, but now he is entangled by the foxy concubine in the family, and he refuses to marry the folk girl, and asks the eldest lady and the prince to help a group of folk girls! β
Although there are not many people on the street, but there is a person kneeling here, and there is such a luxurious carriage, it is impossible for no one to look at it, Ruan Cailing was helped out of the carriage by Jiang Chen, and there was a Qingrui standing next to her.
"You get up first." Ruan Cailing said.
After Bai Fufu got up, Ruan Cailing saw Bai Fufu's close-up view, she was a beauty, but this appearance didn't seem to be trouble-free, no wonder, she had found so many things for Wen Rushi before she got married, and now the wicked person sued first.
If it weren't for the fact that she heard about Wen Rushi and Wang Ning from Gu Jinxi early on, it is estimated that she would also be confused by Bai Fufu at this time.
When Bai Fufu was helped up by the maid, Ruan Cailing also stepped forward to help her, her hand stopped on Bai Fufu's wrist, stood still for a few seconds, and then looked at Bai Fufu's eyes more and more meaningful.
Really!
"Lord Wen, I've heard that my father said that this year's new champion is a talent, and it turns out that Miss Bai is Lord Wen's fiancΓ©e! Doesn't sound like an accent from the capital? Ruan Cailing continued to ask.
Bai Fufu also thought that she had successfully deceived Ruan Cailing, and immediately said, "The folk girl is from Jiangnan, and this time she came to the capital to marry Rushi, but now the folk girl still lives in the inn!" β
As she spoke, Bai Fufu wept, looking very aggrieved.
"Why didn't I take you home? The Wen family's old house is extraordinary! Ruan Cailing asked in surprise.
Finally got to the point, Bai Fufu said, "Rushi has been living in another courtyard all these years, living with his little concubine, except for the New Year's holidays, he rarely goes back to the old mansion!" It is precisely because of this that Miss Wang San coaxed me not to marry me, so she hung me in the inn! β
When Miss Wang San was mentioned, Bai Fufu found that Ruan Cailing's face was a little ugly.
Could it really be that those people said now that Wang Ning and Ruan Cailing are friends? Or sisters?
Is their relationship really that good?
"Miss Bai, this matter with all due respect, it shouldn't be me who cares, if you think Lord Wen is at fault, you can go to the yamen, or go to beat the drum! I definitely shouldn't have to make a decision! Also, be smart! β
After speaking, she turned around and raised her hand, and Jiang Chen next to her took Ruan Cailing's hand and helped her into the carriage.
Back in the carriage, Ruan Cailing glanced at Gu Jinxi with a smile and whispered, "Sure enough, I came to test, but I was right!" Bai Fufu is greasy! That's why I'm so anxious to marry Wen Rushi! β
She said, why didn't she be in a hurry before, but now she is in a hurry?
"Jin Xi, when you go back, let your Tianji Pavilion check the news on the Bai family's side, I want to know whose fault it is, but Wen Rushi will be the wronged leader!" Ruan Cailing said.
Gu Jinxi said, "You are really ...... When it comes to this kind of thing, you're angry! β
