Chapter 70: The Man Who Asks for Jewelry
Ruan Cailing pretended to have nothing to do and threw the wedding card back, turned her face, and looked at the bustling crowd outside, this attic is the highest position in the entire Dingguo Mansion, there is a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance, Ruan Cailing took a sip of hot tea and shook her head, "It's nothing, but the wedding card is written on your name, big brother!" Did this wedding card go to the store? ”
For a long time, all kinds of invitations, the Dingguo Mansion will receive two copies, one is from Dingguo Gong Ruan Qi, and the other is from the prince Ruan Xuchen, presumably the eldest brother should have sent this one to the eldest brother's shop, this is the difference in identity, no one has to rely on whom.
"Well, I'm going to Yanhua Building today, Xiyin gave it to me, are you going or not? I heard that the wedding card was also sent to King Xuan's mansion, but King Xuan and the princess have not come back from going out to run errands, and the old princess is old, it must be inconvenient, in that case, ......"
In this case, only Gu Jinxi can go to Xuanwang's Mansion!
"Go, go, of course! People's wedding cards have been sent to the house, how to say that it is a friend, I also want to go to say goodbye! It's rude not to go! Ruan Cailing pulled the invitation card from Ruan Xuchen's hand and kissed it on the cover.
Great, I finally have another reason to meet Gu Jinxi!
In fact, it's not that he really doesn't want to see Gu Jinxi these days, it's just that he's busy, every time he asks Jiang Chen to inquire, he is either in the palace or in the suburbs, and he has never rested, the last time he saw him was when he was on Heche Day, Ruan Cailing crossed her fingers and thought, she hadn't seen Gu Jinxi for almost ten days!
She's going to be annoyed!
And in the past few days, the people who have become a family are busy relocating, and the outside is tinkling every day, and she can't sleep lazily in the morning, so she can only hide in the attic, because the location of this attic is above the ancestral hall of the Dingguo Mansion, only here, ordinary people dare not come.
Who dares to be disrespectful to the ancestors of the Dingguo Mansion?
Besides, after Ruan Cailing dealt with Dawei here, no one dared to come, the guards and maids didn't want to get close here, and the other people didn't come here for no reason, only here Ruan Cailing could take a nap peacefully.
"The second cousin seems to be very busy these days! None of the three meals are at home. Ruan Cailing watched a small vendor outside fight with the person who bought something, and it was very funny for the two of them to make a move, she hooked her lips and drove away all the unhappiness.
Ruan Xuchen was also busy, he had to go out for a while, but before leaving, he would talk to Ruan Cailing about the wedding banquet.
"I heard that I met someone in the place where I learned the piano, and it seems that a girl from someone's family."
Concubine?
Ruan Cailing sneered.
Also, with Shen Yunyun's identity, she can only be cordial with some concubines, after all, the serious eldest lady disdains to have anything to do with relatives like Shen Yunyun, it's hard to believe that she always wanted to bring Shen Yunyun into her life circle before, it turns out that Shen Yunyun has always wanted to take her place.
Fortunately, it is relatively early to get lost.
Seeing that Ruan Xuchen was about to leave after sitting for a while, Ruan Cailing suddenly remembered that she also had something to go out of, and the shop she was going to with her eldest brother on Xixiang Street should be in the same direction, so it was better to let her eldest brother send her a section.
"Big brother, wait for me! I'll change my clothes and go with you! Ruan Cailing shouted, Qingrui was drowsy on the side, but after hearing Ruan Cailing's voice, she hurriedly woke up, and pulled Ruan Cailing to get up.
Having already gone downstairs, Ruan Xuchen, who was standing at the side door of the ancestral hall, turned around and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Ruan Cailing sighed and raised her hand.
Isn't it the Lantian jade bracelet that her eldest brother bought her back last time? The owner of Yancui Building cried and wiped his tears and said that he must buy it back, no matter how much it costs, it is said that the young lady of the big family will eat people if she can't get this whole set of Lantian jade jewelry!
The boss of Yancui Building knows Ruan Xuchen's temper, and there is no reason for others to take away what he gave to his sister, if Ruan Xuchen knows, maybe his life will be lost.
So the boss only dared to write to Ruan Cailing secretly, in some aspects, Ruan Cailing is still very reasonable, just a gift, if there is someone who really likes it, it is not a big deal for her to let it go, but she is curious, what kind of person can make the boss have such a headache, and hurriedly ask for this bracelet back.
She was curious, so she was ready to send it over in person to see who it was.
She personally sent the bracelet back, and the boss also said that he had prepared a set of more expensive jewelry for her as an apology.
She didn't care if she didn't give a gift, it was just strange.
Gu Jinxi was surprised that day, what is her identity? The eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion! The boss of Yancui Building is not unaware of her noble identity, but Rao is so, he still dares to ask Ruan Cailing for something, which shows that people who like this set of Lantian jade jewelry must be higher than her identity!
Who could that be?
Looking at the capital, the women who are more noble than her status are afraid that there are only county lords and princesses, right?
But if it is the county lord, she and the county lord are on an equal footing, and there is no need to kneel and salute when they meet, only the princess and the princess are higher than her, is the person who takes a fancy to this bracelet really a princess?
Ruan Xuchen looked at Ruan Cailing's movements and was puzzled.
Because Ruan Cailing not only carried the bracelet he gave her on her wrist, but also the wrist guard that Uncle Xun gave her, she showed it when she raised her hand, and she didn't know which one to target.
Ruan Cailing waved her hand, "Let's go first, big brother, are you going to come back at night?" ”
"Come back."
"You're going to Yancui Building?" The direction of the carriage is the only way to go to Yancui Building, and Ruan Xuchen often goes to choose jewelry for her, so she naturally knows her.
Ruan Cailing supported her chin with one hand and yawned, "Well, I went out a few days ago and bumped into the boss, and said that I came with a set of jewelry, I look good with it, anyway, I'm bored, I'll try it." ”
"Well, it's okay, if you like it, you can buy it and let the boss keep the account." Ruan Xuchen followed Ruan Cailing's long hair, and his eyes were full of spoiling.
Ruan Cailing turned her head to hug Ruan Xuchen's waist and buried her head in Ruan Xuchen's arms, such a hugging posture is very rare after they are all sensible, Ruan Su's always talks about the difference between men and women, but in Ruan Cailing's eyes, no matter what, this is the big brother.
The person who loves himself like this, except for his father and mother, is the only eldest brother, who has no calculations, and her heart is full of her.
"Big brother, if you have a sister-in-law in the future, will you still spoil me like this?" Ruan Cailing was still holding Ruan Xuchen, raised her head and asked.
Ruan Xuchen didn't know why, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?" No matter who is around my eldest brother, you are my sister. ”
Ruan Cailing stuck out her tongue and smiled, rolling in Ruan Xuchen's arms.
The carriage stopped at the door of Yancui Building, Jiang Chen helped Ruan Cailing to jump out of the carriage below, and Qingrui was also on the side.
"Don't run around, go home early." Ruan Xuchen opened the curtain on the side and instructed Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing waved her hand, "Okay, okay, got it!" Go ahead! Stay safe! ”
"Hmm."
Today, Jiang Chen was traveling with Ruan Xuchen, so Ruan Cailing only brought Qingrui with him, and Ruan Cailing came back to his senses only to find that the entire Yancui Building was under martial law, there was no one at the gate, and as soon as he entered, there was no one in the hall on the first floor.
Yancui Building has a total of three floors, the first floor is the counter for display, and ordinary people are looking at jewelry on the first floor.
The second floor is for the rich and noble, that is, people like Ruan Xuchen, who go directly to the second floor when they get the news, and there are special people who pour tea and water, and after looking at the jewelry, they can go to ensure safety.
The third floor is the private place of the owner of Yancui Building.
In the past, the first floor was always crowded, and many people chose inside, but today there was no one in the empty room, Ruan Cailing and Qingrui stood at the door and were stunned, this wouldn't be a Hongmen banquet, right?
"Miss, why is there no one! I'm so panicked! Qingrui grabbed Ruan Cailing's sleeve and said.
How to say, Ruan Cailing is also a person who has died once, and her courage is a little bigger than that of a little girl like Qingrui, she cleared her throat, "What's so scary?" What can happen in the blue sky and daylight! Let's go, hurry up and end the matter. ”
With that, she took Qingrui upstairs.
"Brother Shizi, what do you think of these earrings?"
Brother Shizi?
This voice is so familiar!
Ruan Cailing, who was carrying her skirt, was stunned, she had just reached the middle of the stairs at this moment, so the people upstairs hadn't seen her yet, but the guards standing near the stairs had already seen the two heads, so they immediately drew their swords and quickly rushed to the stairs, "What person!" ”
The two people on the main seat of the owner of Yancui Building were taken aback by the actions of the guards, but Gu Jinxi still had that gentle smile, without the slightest change, and glanced at the earrings in Ji Jingyan's hand lightly, and nodded, "Very good." ”
Ruan Cailing's cold eyes swept over the few guards above, and Qing Rui on the side was not afraid when she saw that it was not a Hongmen banquet, and she became bolder, "You are presumptuous!" What to do if you scare our young lady! ”
"Who are you?" Although the guards looked at the young lady who was the leader, they couldn't tell who it was.
Ruan Cailing's gaze swept over the faces of these guards one by one, and then turned her head sideways, she carried her skirt and walked up a few steps, "Dingguo Mansion, Ruan Cailing." ”
These guards are well-trained at first glance, and they must not be idle people, and they are definitely not the kind of guards who watch the door of ordinary people.
Combined with the voice just now, she had already guessed who she was going to see.
How many people in the entire capital can be called the prince? Two! One is the eldest brother, but the eldest brother put him down and left, so what about the other one?
Gu Jinxi.
And the crisp female voice, she has also heard it, on the night of the Hundred Flowers Festival, she fell in love with the woman with her rabbit lamp.
The county lord of Pingwangfu, Ji Jingyan!
No wonder the owner of Yancui Building has such a headache.
