Chapter 174: A Glimpse in the Dark Room
Xu Chen, who served in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sent a total of two letters, which were delivered to the old lady of the Zhou family and Qin Jie almost at the same time.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished reading the content, within an hour, the eldest lady led Xu Ran to Qin's house - unexpectedly, she was closed.
Ruan Miaoling sat in the Tonghui bookstore and ate pastries, and Bai Yun accompanied her to watch the excitement.
It's not just them who are watching the excitement, Xu Ran has already been known to everyone for offending Lord Qin at the Zhou family's garden party, and many people are waiting to see how the Zhou family ends.
As soon as everyone heard the news today, they rushed to Qin's house, and the streets and alleys were congested for a while.
"It's the end of the month, and the Zhou family's garden party will be held on the fifteenth, which can really be delayed."
"Drag it out for now, things will always have to be resolved, let's see what the Zhou family does in a while, if you offend King Qin Yan, things will not be easy to do."
In the crowd, you say a word.
Xu Ran, who was standing in front of the Qin Mansion, clenched her fists, if it weren't for her aunt holding her back, she would have gotten into the sedan chair and go home, so why listen to their nonsense!
For more than ten days, she kept thinking about what went wrong, and finally let her find it.
Only Miss Gu Jia had touched the white cat at the garden party, and although the fifth sister had seen it, she had no chance to get close to it. At the time of the incident, Miss Gu was sitting next to her, and she was the only one who had the opportunity to get the cat collar on herself.
But there was one thing that Xu Ran couldn't figure out.
If she hadn't gone to Miss Gu at that time, what kind of way would she frame herself.
Growing so big, it was the first time she had encountered such a strong opponent, and she was unconsciously tricked into the scheme, and she only understood it after thinking about it.
Miss Ku - Who the hell is it?
Ruan Miaoling crossed the crowd to see Xu Ran at a loss, pursed her lips and smiled.
Xu Ran was so smart, she should have guessed that she was doing it.
But so what, Xu Ran is a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering, so he made it himself.
She just wants Xu Ran to remember that Skynet is restored, and although retribution is late, it will always come.
A servant squeezed through the crowd, got into the bookstore, and walked to Ruan Miaoling's side and arched his hand: "Third Miss, my lord would like to ask you to come over to the house." ”
Bai Yun recognized this person, the Qin family.
Ruan Miaoling glanced at the crowded crowd, I was afraid that she would be recognized by Xu Ran as soon as she went out, she preferred the feeling that the enemy was in the light and in the dark.
"Please tell Lord Qin, it's inconvenient today, can you go another day?"
The servant said: "My lord said that there is a back door in the Tonghui Bookstore, and there is also a back door in the Qin Mansion, so the third lady can walk with confidence." ”
With this kind of attitude, that's please, it's clearly coercion!
Bai Yun said bluntly: "Don't go, I have to go with me." "Look at what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of King Qin Yan.
The servant was also not polite, "My lord said, Bai Gongzi is still a wanted criminal in the imperial court, if he is not happy to take Bai Gongzi down on the spot, he can still make a sum of money when he returns to the capital to ask for credit." ”
Angry, Bai Yun twisted his body and asked: "You protect her, if this son has no playmates, I will take you!" ”
It's unsightly to kick girls as balls, it's better not to say it in front of girls, and it's not good to teach bad children.
I don't care if I ask him.
Lord Qin and Miss are brothers and sisters, maybe there will be a chance to go further in the future, let go of such a powerful uncle, she will be a big fool if she asks.
……
After entering the Qin Mansion, Ruan Miaoling did not see Qin Jiejie directly, but was arranged in the ear room next to the main room.
The ear room has opened a small window, which is just right to see every scene and object in the courtyard.
On the fifth day of the first month, he came over with a string of sugar gourds, and said with an uncomfortable expression: "My lord, please ask the third lady to sit here for a while, if you are bored, you can eat sugar gourds for entertainment." ”
Ruan Miaoling took the bright and attractive sugar gourd, and secretly wondered if Qin Jie's specialization in sugar gourds was not, how could there always be so many?
Soon Mrs. Zhou and Xu Ran were allowed to enter the front yard.
Qin Jie was not polite to them, and ordered someone to bring two chairs to the courtyard.
How could the eldest lady still have the face to sit, just thinking about quickly finishing the matter and returning home, and stabbed Xu Ran on the side.
Xu Ran's eyes were full of stubbornness, why did she want to apologize, it was obviously Miss Gu's trick!
The eldest lady said in a low voice: "You kid, don't you still understand when you get here?" Your father said in his own mouth that people must learn to bow their heads under the eaves, do you want your father's official position to be unsecured? ”
"Of course not." Xu Ran's voice was low and unheard.
She knows that without her father's fame, she is nothing in the capital, but she is unwilling to do this, she is the only one who calculates others since she was a child, how can she ever be calculated?
It can be seen that there is salvation to be able to answer like this, and the eldest lady said: "What your father said in the letter is to let this matter settle as soon as possible and stop the loss in time." The prince of Chengping will choose the princess after a while, if this matter is spread to the capital through the mouth of Lord Qin, your wish will not be in vain. ”
Xu Ran looked up in surprise.
How could she forget about this, no matter how powerful Miss Gu is, it is only temporary, as long as she becomes the princess of King Chengping, it is not a matter of words to ask for rain.
And Miss Gu will always take root and settle in the small place of Ruyang, relying on the relationship of General Gu to marry an inconspicuous official child, how can she have a prosperous life.
With such a comparison, Xu Ran had a plan in his heart.
On the fifth day of the first month, he came to the courtyard with Xiao Maruko, and when Xiao Maruko saw the enemy again, he immediately blew his hair, and made a fierce "meow" a few times.
Xu Ran took a few steps back, did Lord Qin want her to apologize to a brute?
An indifferent voice came from inside the room.
"Xu Chen expressed in the letter that he was willing to reduce the amount of money by half to apologize, the official is kind and kind, and he doesn't care about you, but the cat raised by the official seems to be unconvinced, what does Miss Xu think?"
Ruan Miaoling, who was in the ear room, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
As long as Xu Chen and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were not implicated, and Qin Jie had nothing to do with her father's death, she was relieved.
Xu Ran didn't say a word, and the eldest lady stabbed her twice more, muttering and urging.
"I apologize!"
Xu Ran looked at the lazy white cat in Chu Wu's arms, bit his lower lip and bowed his head in a reluctant voice. "I'm sorry."
"Meow!"
Xiao Maruko suddenly bowed away from Chu Wu's body and pounced on Xu Ran.
The eldest lady screamed, Xu Ran looked up when she heard the sound, and saw the cat rushing towards her, so frightened that she screamed again and again.
Xiao Maru grabbed Xu Ran's head full of green silk, and the beads were scattered all over the ground, and it was relieved to let go of its claws and pounce back into the arms of Chu Wu, licking its paws, and the two bright eyes turned to Ruan Miaoling in the ear room, and rolled her eyes up.
Ruan Miaoling read the meaning from its demeanor - look at your cowardice, this king's methods are enough for you to learn for a lifetime!
Nonsense, you're not relying on a powerful master! Ruan Miaoling slightly tongued at Xiao Maruko and grimaced.
Qin Jieli observed her every move in the dark, and her eyebrows gradually became colorful.
Although she was in the dark room, she was like a warm sun that brought endless light and heat, illuminating his long-standing darkness.
Master, you are right, she came to this world to ferry people.
