Chapter 70: Neighbors

Rui Xi seemed to have been caught red-handed for stealing, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he was embarrassed to ask how Lin Tianlang learned that he was doing things for the Eighth Prince, and said with a little anxious face: "Master Lin, I didn't expect you to be such a short-sighted person." I know that the Lin Mansion has a neutral attitude and does not favor any prince, but as the only son of the Lin Mansion, shouldn't you plan for the Lin Mansion? ”

Now the editors and bachelors in the Hanlin Academy are almost gone, and the surroundings are quiet. Lin Tianlang looked around, and only two subordinates in charge of sprinkling and sweeping were under the corridor in the distance.

"The replacement of the old and the new is ordinary, but if you say that you can help, you have to be worthy of that person." Even if there was no one around, Lin Tianlang spoke extremely cautiously.

Rui Xi took a step forward and wanted to say more, but Lin Tianlang took two steps back, nodded and left, as if Rui Xi had an unpleasant smell on her body.

Lin Tianlang is not a very patient person, and he is already patient when he says these few words to people who do not surrender. He didn't know how Rui Xi would react when she left, and he didn't care.

Rui Xi looked at Lin Tianlang's arrogant back, and only felt that the roots of the back molars were bubbling with sour water.

'Why is he able to look so high!!' Why do you look down on me so much! The material of the emperor naturally has to be ambitious. Among the current princes, only the eighth prince can be regarded as brave and strategic, as for the twelve princes, hum! When he enters the ghost gate with half a foot, there is nothing to be afraid of! ’

He originally wanted to explain it to Lin Tianlang clearly, and the two of them had a light meal together. Now it seems impossible.

It was a little dark, Rui Xi had to walk home alone, and while walking, Rui Xi couldn't help but start thinking about Lin Tianlang's few words again, 'He said, 'It must be worth it.' 'In the hearts of the people of the Lin Mansion, which prince is worthy? ’

"Eleventh Prince? is a rich idler, praising him as the emperor, I'm afraid that the first person to oppose it is himself! The Twelve Princes? On weekdays, there is no communication between them......

One prince after another passed through Rui Xi's mind, and suddenly his heart moved, "Isn't it the seventeenth prince who wants to support Concubine Jia because the Lin family and the Song family have a relationship with the Dingbei Palace?" ’

As soon as this thought came out, Rui Xi suddenly felt negative, "The seventeenth prince is still a milk doll, if he can stand up, unless Emperor Shun'an can live for another ten years!" But if it's not the Seventeenth Prince, then who is it? Could it be that the Lin Mansion really wants to protect himself, and no one chooses it? If you wait until the new emperor ascends the throne, this dynasty is a courtier, where is there a foothold for the Lin Mansion above the court? ’

Ruixi walked slowly, and he didn't notice a carriage loaded with hay approaching him, until a girl tugged at her sleeve and stumbled aside.

"Much, thank you, girl." Rui Xi thanked the girl and looked up at her.

The girl quickly tilted her head, her expression was unnatural, and she said, "No need." Then he departed.

Rui Xi's eyes only flashed a fairly delicate face, but there seemed to be a birthmark on the corner of her forehead, which was probably why this woman didn't dare to look directly at herself.

It was just a small episode, and Ruixi didn't take it seriously.

It's just that the two of them are walking one after the other, and they are all on the same road. As she walked through a colder street, the girl turned around, as if she was a little frightened.

Rui Xi naturally didn't want to be regarded as a villain with bad intentions, so she hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, I'm the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and now I'm going home." ”

The girl listened and nodded a little embarrassedly. The two of them walked slowly like this, until Rui Xi saw the girl standing in front of the small courtyard opposite the door, about to take out the key and open the lock!

When I first moved here a few days ago, I heard that the proprietress of the Silk Yun Hall in the capital lived here, and Rui Xi paid special attention to Song Zhi's every move, so she took advantage of the east wind to do things for the Eighth Emperor, and carefully checked it, and Song Zhi of this Silk Yun Hall also had a share.

"We're neighbors!" Rui Xi's eyes flashed, and she smiled gently.

The girl nodded, as if she were not good at words.

"Dare to ask the girl's name?" Rui Xi took off the lantern in front of the porch, held the candle with her hand, carefully lit it and hung it back, the warm yellow light covered his whole person, and he looked particularly soft and amiable.

"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I am afraid that it will be time to trouble the girl in the future." Rui Xi saw that the girl was silent, and added casually.

"Liu Zhen." The girl said in a voice like a mosquito.

"Miss Liu." Rui Xi nodded and said with a light smile: "My name is Rui Xi, you can call me Xizhao." Rui Xi didn't have a word, he had no elders in his family, and no one gave him a word, so he gave himself a word.

Liu Zhen nodded, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, as if she was a little shy. This Rui Gongzi should have seen the birthmark on his face, but he was still so gentle and did not feel contemptuous. This couldn't help but make Liu Zhen's heart feel relieved.

After seeing Liu Zhen walk into the courtyard, the smile on Rui Xi's face was slightly reduced, as if he had suddenly been frozen.

The occasional little silver money leaked between Fan Feizhi's fingers was enough for Rui Xi to rent a small courtyard in a place like the capital, although it was a small courtyard, it was enough for him to live alone, but I think this family is rich! Even a Fan Fei capital is so wealthy.

Although Rui Xi did things for the Eighth Prince, he was just a small minion, and he had only seen the Eighth Prince a few times from a distance on Fan Fei's side. He pushed open the door, looked at the cold pot and cold stove and thought: 'If you can do something for the Eighth Prince, you will get his blue eyes, and see that these people dare to despise themselves!' ’

Rui Xi remembered Liu Zhen's last shy smile, Rui Xi pulled the corners of her mouth with some disdain, "Can you only attract such a woman now?" ’

Rui Xi closed his eyes slightly, he hadn't seen Song Zhi for a long time, but her face became clearer and clearer in his mind, her face was small and white like a crescent moon, her eyebrows were not drawn from self-thickness, curved like willow branches, and the flowers of the whole spring together could not compare to the beauty of her lips.

In his fantasy, after a thick white mist, Song Zhi appeared in front of him like a fairy, smiling at him without any guilt. Rui Xi took a deep breath, as if she could really smell the body fragrance on Song Zhi's body.

How can we see her again?' If he helped the eighth prince get the throne, he would have made a great contribution. Naturally, there will be no place for Shen Baiyan in this court, and Song Blade's fate is not much better. At that time, Song Zhi will not be as high as he is now, maybe. Rui Xi opened her eyes and thought stupidly, "Maybe then it will be 'Ren Jun Cai'." ’

Ruixi's low laughter scattered in the cold room, which looked particularly eerie.

……

West Mountain, Song Mansion Garden.

Song Yan wanted to put on the clothes of the previous year, but the buttons seemed to be slippery, and she couldn't get into the buttonholes, so she finally squeezed one in, but it was also supportable, as if it was about to burst at any time.

Song Yan was angry and tore this shirt to pieces, this silk and satin material was already delicate, and when she tore it like this, it became a piece of broken cloth.

The maid outside the door heard the unusual movement inside, so she knocked on the door casually twice, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine!" Song Yan said angrily. The maids outside the door rolled their eyes and gossiped to themselves.

'Song Zhi! You slut! I'm not going to let you have a good life! Song Yan hated to take a knife and cut off all the excess flesh on her body!

She went crazy in the room for a while, and suddenly calmed down again, and began to draw her makeup carefully in the mirror, with black eyebrows and red lips, which was very weird.

Song Yan picked up another box of blood-red lipstick to add color to her lips, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, the corners of her mouth froze in a twisted place.

'My brother shouldn't blame me. She thought proudly, her eyebrows and eyes full of malice.

"Why is there no sound at all? What's crazy again? The two maids who were keeping vigil outside the door listened to the door for a long time, but they didn't even hear a sound, and they couldn't help but hide together and whisper.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and Song Yan looked at the two of them arrogantly and said, "I heard that the little boy is not in good health, I will enter the house tomorrow to see him!" ”

"But...... The maid said hesitantly.

"But what!?" Song Yan's eyes widened, and she looked quite fierce, "My father just wanted me to stay here temporarily, and he didn't say that I was not allowed to go back to my house!" ”

She is still the eldest lady of the Song family in the end, and she is not really disgusted, the maid did not dare to refute more, but she was blessed and said, "The slave will go to the house to ask Mrs. ”

Song Yan squinted, still looking quite dissatisfied, but she didn't have a seizure, she just turned around and closed the door heavily, and there was a loud noise, which made the two maids tremble slightly.

Song Yan's actions in the other garden reached Song Zhi's ears after a while, and she stroked Edelweiss's back and said, "Tomorrow? She's in such a hurry? ”

"I heard the maids say this, and they got angry." Meteor stood aside, said.

Song Zhi rubbed her chin with Edelweiss, and the cat made a pleasant 'purring' sound, "In ten days it will be the birthday of the little son, so call her again then." She can't just say anything, everything is as she wants. ”

"If I say that she shouldn't have been allowed to come on her birthday, maybe something bad will happen!" Meteor said this, and he nodded again and again.

"It's just a small banquet in the Turbidity Heart Courtyard, let's just go and sit down." Song Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "In the end, we still have to give the Zhang family some face, Zhang Xinlan just married the second sister-in-law of the Cui family not long ago, so we still have to take care of this relationship." ”

Edelweiss 'meowed', as if agreeing with what Song Zhi said.
