Chapter 64: Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies
"The prince of the world is coming, and he is far away."
The warm voice blew into the ears of Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi along the wind, Mu Bai turned sideways, and the person walking behind him was the owner of this courtyard, Wen Rushi.
Wen Rushi didn't have Xie Qingyuan's pretentious demeanor, he just bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute to Gu Jinxi, Gu Jinxi was informal, "Gongzi Wen is so interested, the delicacy here is really more beautiful than Xuanwang's Mansion!" Such a courtyard is really suitable for the golden house! With a beautiful woman as a companion, this beautiful land is the love of life! ”
These words came out of Gu Jinxi's mouth to some flattery, after all, Gu Jinxi is the son of King Xuan, what beautiful place has he not been? Isn't the palace compound more luxurious than here? But Wen Rushi still accepted Gu Jinxi's praise, and he said to Ruan Cailing, "Miss, it's rare that you are willing to attend." ”
Every time the invitation was sent to the Dingguo Mansion before, Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Cailing each had a copy.
However, Ruan Xuchen is different from their group of scholars who only know poetry and songs, they are so busy in the shops every day that they don't have time to participate at all, and they don't even have a few days a month to rest at home, let alone such noisy gatherings.
No one forced it, and the people from the Dingguo Mansion must participate.
It's just that this time, not only Ruan Cailing came, but even Gu Jinxi came, and the two of them were still standing together, which made Wen Rushi a little incomprehensible.
When the guard at the door came in and told him that King Xuan was coming, Wen Rushi didn't react for a long time.
But when he saw the backs of Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing standing together, Wen Rushi would not doubt Gu Jinxi's identity at all.
"Miss, there's a poem going on over there! Let's go check it out! Qing Rui ran over from the pavilion and water pavilion, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, I thought that only Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing would be so rude here, but I didn't expect Wen Rushi to also turn around and glance at Qing Rui.
She immediately stood up and retreated behind Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing smiled, turned around and helped Qingrui wipe the sweat on her forehead, "Then let's go over and have a look?" ”
Ruan Cailing glanced at Gu Jinxi, who nodded, "You go first, I'll be there." ”
"Okay."
It seems that Gu Jinxi and Wen Rushi have something to say!
"Miss, is this the son of Wen Rushi? Why doesn't it look like the legendary weak wind? How does it look, it's a little ......"
"Cold." Ruan Cailing took Qingrui's sentence.
Qing Rui nodded violently, yes, yes, that's what she meant.
In Qingrui's impression, a scholar who can only read should be like Xie Qingyuan, who looks weak and can't help it, even if he is ruthless, it is estimated that he can only hold back two swear words that sound intimidating, but in Wen Rushi's smile just now, there was a lot more coldness.
Just as Ruan Cailing said.
Ruan Cailing chuckled.
If she guessed correctly, there should be some relationship between Wen Rushi and Gu Jinxi, and it is no wonder. Now the eyes of the ministers of the DPRK and China are all over the place, and they can't even hide from the side of the eldest brother, let alone Gu Jinxi's side.
What the situation is, you can't just look at the surface.
They will infiltrate, won't the eldest brother and Gu Jinxi be?
Many of the eldest brother's shops have infiltrated their own power, the most obvious is Yanhua Building, all the people in it are the eldest brother's people, if there is a mutiny, at least they can protect themselves.
How could Gu Jinxi, such a far-sighted person, not see through this?
But Ruan Cailing was puzzled, it seemed that Wen Rushi was the person arranged by Gu Jinxi, but why did Wen Rushi lose to Xie Qingyuan everywhere in the memory of his previous life? Not to mention the champion, even Tanhua Wen Rushi was not ranked, so he could only wait for a year to retake the exam, but Ruan Cailing had no life and lived until the year when Wen Rushi retook the exam.
Naturally, I don't know what happened next.
"I came out with the word "Dream"! You can come to the right pair! ”
Dream?
As the saying goes, a big dream is three thousand drunken dreams, and many things can only be thought about and thought about in a dream. Because when you wake up, all you think about is just empty talk, and then more people like to drink and get a slight hangover, and you can take it for granted everything you want to dream of.
Ruan Cailing thought so, some people have already begun to write poems, some of them themselves, and some of them were written by poets of the previous dynasty, and the history of the pen has been handed down to this day.
"A few times the flowers sat down and the, and the silver man red wall looked into the distance. It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset. ”
Ruan Cailing and Qingrui turned around to look, the voice came from behind them, and at a glance, it was Xie Qingyuan who slowly shook the paper fan and walked with a smile, Ruan Cailing frowned and turned her face, but she heard many people shouting good, flattering Xie Qingyuan is really knowledgeable.
"Since the eldest lady is here, why don't you give it a try?" A scholar in a white robe who couldn't call out his name brought the conversation to Ruan Cailing.
As a famous talented woman in the capital, Ruan Cailing has never shown her ability in front of everyone, so many people feel that the outside world says that Ruan Cailing is a talented woman, just because of the emperor's praise, in fact, she is just a good-looking woman, and there is nothing special about her.
The only thing that is desirable is because of her background.
"Miss." Qingrui shouted Ruan Cailing.
Seeing Ruan Cailing's silence, the white-robed scholar thought that Ruan Cailing had no literary talent, and he couldn't come out, so he smiled contemptuously, "It's also, the eldest lady has lived in the mansion for a long time, not only the people from the outside world are suffering, but it is also appropriate not to dream." ”
Listening to this man's meaning, it seems to be aimed at her.
She didn't want to be in the limelight in this kind of place, and she didn't want to be rumored in the future.
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. ”
"Good! The eldest lady really lives up to her reputation! After the white-robed scholar finished speaking with a cold look, his position was also slightly embarrassing, so he could only applaud and shout hello, and the people around him hurriedly brought the topic over.
"It's a boring place." Ruan Cailing took Qingrui out of the pavilion and water pavilion, found a place with few people to sit on the rocks, and kicked the stones under her feet.
Qingrui sat down below Ruan Cailing, and helped Ruan Cailing beat her legs one by one, "Since the eldest lady thinks it's boring, let's go back!" ”
How can you go! Gu Jinxi is still here!
After Wen Rushi saw Ruan Cailing leave, he took a step forward and went to Gu Jinxi's side.
"Shizi."
Gu Jinxi hummed, but only looked at the direction where Ruan Cailing left, and asked in a cold voice, "Everything is done?" ”
"Yes, all those who know are not spared, they are all dead."
Gu Jinxi nodded, grabbed a handful of fish food at random, and threw it into the lake one by one, only the dead can really make people feel at ease, otherwise, if anything gets out, everything he did before will be wiped out.
"What other instructions does the prince have?"
"You should take the exam in a while, don't be busy with these things all the time, you could have been by the side of this son but insisted on taking the exam, in this case, you will do what you want to do, and this son will not stop you."
Wen Rushi bowed his head, "Thank you, Shizi." ”
"By the way, you can help me find out Xie Qingyuan's identity, be more specific."
Xie Qingyuan?
Although Wen Rushi is also a person who is about to take the exam after reading poetry and books, he is still different from Xie Qingyuan, after all, Wen Rushi's family background is good, and he and Xie Qingyuan are not in the same circle, and they will only meet when they are together, so Wen Rushi doesn't know Xie Qingyuan.
Even, Wen Rushi doesn't think much of Xie Qingyuan.
This person is so happy, as long as there is flattery, he will be very happy, and he has a good face.
Wen Rushi didn't have much contact with him.
"What does the prince mean?"
Gu Jinxi clenched his right hand into a fist against his lips and coughed lightly, "It's nothing, it's a private matter." ”
A private matter? Wen Rushi glanced at Gu Jinxi puzzled, but Gu Jinxi was not ready to answer, but Mu Bai jumped over and said to Wen Rushi with a smile, "Just now, our family saw Xie Qingyuan and the eldest lady together, I'm afraid it's ...... Vinegar it! ”
Wen Rushi knew that the eldest lady Mu Bai said was Ruan Cailing, but he also didn't understand the relationship between Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing, but he still gave up, "I don't know much about Xie Qingyuan, but I heard that Xie Qingyuan is very confident that he will come out on top in this exam!" ”
Oh?
"Confidence is a good thing, but sometimes blind confidence makes people dig deeper." Gu Jinxi said indifferently.
The world is impermanent, and no matter how knowledgeable a person is, there will be problems when he enters the temple examination.
Why is Xie Qingyuan so confident?
"Well, you go first."
Mu Bai stood behind Gu Jinxi, looking at Gu Jinxi's thoughtful appearance of sprinkling fish food, "Shizi, if you care about the eldest lady, why don't you just say it?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Say you don't like her getting too close to that person named Xie Qingyuan! Sometimes, being concise saves a lot of money. Mu Bai preached to Gu Jinxi with the attitude of a person who had come over.
Gu Jinxi hooked her lips and smiled, and asked, "It sounds like you have a lot of insight!" Why don't you write it all down for me when you get home? I had them framed, hung on the bedside, and read every day so that I could remember them. ”
Mu Bai, "...... I was wrong, my subordinates don't understand, my subordinates don't understand anything. ”
"It's late."
Mu Bai, the "......" son! You can't be like this!
"Cousin, why are you sitting here?" Shen Yunyun looked around for a long time, and found Ruan Cailing, who was under the rockery, holding her chin and watching the koi fish swim around.
glanced at Shen Yunyun weakly, she thought that Shen Yunyun had already left.
Ruan Cailing stretched, "It's so boring!" ”
"Why are you alone? What about Gongzi Xie? Not with you? ”
Listening to Shen Yunyun's determined tone, Ruan Cailing felt strange, and she asked rhetorically, "What do you think of the second cousin, I must be with Gongzi Xie?" ”
"This ...... It's not necessarily, it's just that Gongzi Xie has a sister in his heart! I've always thought about my sister! Shen Yunyun was a little embarrassed.
