Chapter 188: Zheng Yanru
Anyway, Zhou Jue still rested in Jiang Changwan's house today.
Ruoquan blew out the candles, tiptoed out, and closed the door, not making a single sound, as if to protect something extremely fragile, for example, a little ethereal affection.
Jiang Changwan closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and it was not until the people around her made a slight snoring sound that Jiang Changwan opened her eyes and looked at her husband with a tilted head.
Many fragmentary pictures flashed in her mind like a marquee, she and him met for the first time in the forest, met under the moon, and made a private decision for life.
How beautiful these memories were back then, the more uncomfortable they are when I think about them now.
In the past few years, Zhou Jue's appearance has not changed at all, but has become more and more energetic.
Although this is because of Jiang Changwan's father and brother, Zhou Jue is indeed a capable man. Jiang Changwan knew this very well, and was not too proud in front of Zhou Jue.
However, Mrs. Zhou repeatedly mentioned it, and on the surface, it seemed that Zhou Jue treated Jiang Changwan well for the sake of his father and brother, but in fact, it made a gap between the two.
It's not big, it's as small as a little crack in the thick ice, and like the lines that bloom in the corners of a young girl's eyes when she laughs, but the ice crack will get bigger and bigger, and the older the girl gets, the deeper the gap will become.
Jiang Changwan glanced at Zhou Jue deeply, turned over, and fell asleep with her back to him.
A couple should be in love, but they never thought of the cold and lonely appearance they are now, and they don't know if there is a chance to maneuver.
When she got up the morning of the second day, Jiang Changwan was clearly awake, but she was just facing the inside of the bed, looking at a pink ice jade bracelet on her wrist.
This bracelet was originally a pair, and it was Zhou Jue who won the reward and took it back to Jiang Changwan. She doesn't know how many treasures she has seen since she was a child, but this is the only one that makes her like it very much. But I had carelessly smashed one before, but now I only had one left, and I was alone on the wrist of my right hand.
"Isn't Madame awake yet?" Ruoquan walked in, followed by a few little maids carrying water and handkerchiefs.
"Let her sleep a little longer." Zhou Jue stretched out his hand and asked the maid to dress him.
Jiang Changwan still pretended to be asleep and didn't say a word. After Zhou Du left, Ruoquan came to the edge of her bed and said softly, "It's all gone." ”
Jiang Changwan turned around and glanced at Ruoquan, seeing that this maid looked clear and helpless, and didn't want to say anything more.
"Madame, why don't you watch the show today? Or go to Tingyulou for tea? Ruoquan combed Jiang Changwan's hair while coaxing Jiang Changwan in every possible way, thinking that she could go out for a walk.
"Let's go to the Regent's Palace. It's been a long time since I've seen my childish sister. Jiang Changwan picked up a plain hosta and compared it with her sideburns, and felt that it was not bad, so she handed it to Ruoquan.
Ruoquan was a little surprised, her slightly stunned eyes betrayed her, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and continued to comb Jiang Changwan's sideburns.
Ya'er came to find Jiang Changwan after breakfast, and painted two more words, her current words are still like ghost drawings, but she has to show off the words in front of Ruoquan and them, she has to boast about it.
learned from Ruoquan's mouth that Jiang Changwan was going to the palace in the afternoon, and Ya'er also shouted that she was going to the palace, saying that she wanted to see Man'er.
Jiang Changwan took her with her, and the mother and daughter went to the palace together, and met Sun Qianqian on the garden path of the Zhou mansion.
Ya'er looked at her curiously, Sun Qianqian stood a little nervously, and saluted Jiang Changwan, Jiang Changwan looked ahead and walked over, ignoring her, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
Ya'er was even more puzzled, she turned her head and tugged Jiang Changwan's hand, and said, "Mother, who is that?" ”
Jiang Changwan glanced at her and said, "It's not anyone, a woman who serves people, Ya'er is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, so you don't have to take such a pickled person in your eyes." ”
Ya'er was a little puzzled, but she was frightened by Jiang Changwan's solemn look, and nodded stunned.
Ruoquan only felt that Jiang Changwan didn't seem to be teaching her daughter-in-law the attitude she should have, but she felt that the eldest daughter was indeed a valuable person, but she tasted Jiang Changwan's words several times in her heart, and she still felt that it was not appropriate, but as a subordinate, some words could only rot in her stomach.
Jiang Changwan said that she hadn't been at the door of the palace for two months, but Song Zhi asked people to ask a few times, and Jiang Changwan casually pulled some excuses and prevaricated.
She didn't deliver the post before she came, so Song Zhi was a little surprised when she came to the door today, and she happened to bump into Zheng Yanru, the young lady of Zheng Guogong's family.
Zheng Yanru is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, but she is also a famous 'saltless girl'. Just because of their poor appearance, they can't always find a good family. Instead of being picked and chosen, making her parents worry about her own affairs, Zheng Yanru simply vowed not to marry.
In fact, Zheng Yanru's appearance is not extremely ugly, but her skin is darker, her eyes are slender, her mouth is big, and there is nothing else.
If you want to blame her, she has a cousin who has a lot of mouth and tongue and disgusting intestines, this person is a prodigal, he has nothing to do all day long, he likes to gossip about others and privacy, he likes beauties the most in his life, so Zheng Yanru is as ugly as Zhong Kui, so that people will retreat when they hear it.
Jiang Changwan was also stunned for a moment when she saw Zheng Yanru, but fortunately, Zheng Yanru was also used to it, so she only smiled heartily and said, "This is Mrs. Zhou, right?" I always hear the child talk about you, saying that you are her best sister, I run to the palace every day, and I finally see you today! She's a beauty, too. ”
"Sister Zheng praised it falsely." Jiang Changwan hurriedly took advantage of this step to get down, she didn't know if it was clumsy or what's going on today, but she actually said one more sentence and said, "I'm a woman who has given birth and raised, how can I have any good looks." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zheng Yanru's face showed a little embarrassment, but she was generous and quickly left behind.
Man'er and Ya'er soon played together, and the three adults sat with each other and had nothing to say.
It's really not like they were silent with each other like this, Song Zhi was busy talking, nodded to a flat basin of water next to him, and said to Jiang Changwan: "Sister come and take a look, Sister Zheng found me two goldfish with inky heads, which are interesting." ”
One is my sister and the other is Sister Zheng. Jiang Changwan breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, got up and looked at the two fish with a smile.
"Sister Zheng is really an elegant person, this fish is indeed a rare treasure." Jiang Changwan praised a few words.
Zheng Yanru smiled: "It's just an ordinary thing." The princess was upset these days, and she couldn't go out because she was pregnant, so I came to accompany her to relieve her boredom. I'm stupid and can't speak, so I'm looking for something funny. ”
"What's upset about my sister?" Jiang Changwan blurted out subconsciously.
Zheng Yanru glanced at Song Zhi with a rather curious look, as if to say, 'This is the best sister?' Why don't you even know this news? ’
Jiang Changwan was extremely embarrassed in her heart, so she had to retreat to her place and sit down, pick up the teacup and drink tea.
Zheng Yanru mentioned the matter of Fenrui slightly, Jiang Changwan had already known about this, she sighed slightly, and said: "I never thought that my sister and I were actually suffering from the same disease, these days my mother-in-law stuffed her niece into my hospital, I was upset, and I had no time to take care of the news outside, sister don't be surprised." ”
Song Zhi didn't blame Jiang Changwan in the first place, and when he heard this, he was even more surprised and worried: "What? Your mother-in-law actually got it?! ”
"What can I do if I pretend to be sick to pressure me?" Jiang Changwan looked at Zheng Yanru and Song Zhi, and turned her head away.
"Seeing you one by one, you are still in harmony with your husband Jun Qinse, and you still have to be harassed by your mother-in-law, so uncomfortable, I see that it is very right for me not to marry!" Zheng Yanru hid the accusation against the Queen Mother and said indignantly.
"I'm fine, it's just that it's a little difficult for Fen Rui to be connected with the nurturing grandmother sent to the palace by the palace, and the rest, the rest doesn't bother me much, but what about you, sister?" The meaning of Song Zhi's words meant that Shen Baiyan had not touched Fenrui.
Jiang Changwan understood, and her heart became even more uncomfortable, she came to the door today to comfort Song Zhi, but she never thought about comforting her, Jiang Changwan held back the inexplicable tears, and said to Song Zhi: "What else?" After all, life has to be passed day by day. ”
The more she talked about it, the more upset she became, Jiang Changwan shook her head, opened the topic and said, "Don't mention it." How's it going month by month? ”
Song Zhi looked at her and was still worried, but seeing that she didn't want to mention it again, she had to stop asking, even if she wanted to ask, she couldn't do it in front of Zheng Yanru, so she followed Jiang Changwan's words.
"The prince asked people to find Zhu Lin, but found that this Zhu Lin was not the real Zhu Lin, and like that Zhu Niang, she made people drop her bag. Yan Siqing found two more white bones in the garden of Zhufu, according to Zhu Lin's brother, Zhu Lin had a knife wound on his calf, and the bones were deeply visible. After inspection, there were indeed knife wounds on the white bones in the same part, and it could be concluded that it was Zhu Lin and Zhu Niangzi. At this point, this has become another case, it depends on whether Yan Siqing is willing to investigate further. The fake Zhu Lin interrogated for two rounds and spit out a lot of things, and Yan Siqing was afraid that he was a little jealous. ”
Jiang Changwan really didn't know anything about these things, and she couldn't stop asking, "Really?" Seriously? ”
Zheng Yanru sneered and said with a smile: "A good show is difficult to end, I see that the mastermind behind this scene is now lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Yan Siqing was announced into the palace before, and was announced again yesterday, I don't know if I want to go on this experience today?" ”
Zheng Guogong seems to have a neutral position above the court, but in fact, Zheng Guogong himself has a close relationship with Shen Baiyan, and Mrs. Zheng Guogong and the Empress Dowager de Rong are close friends.
From this point of view, Zheng Yanru's mockery is also reasonable.
