Chapter 53: I Hate Her
Jingcui Garden is a picturesque courtyard, although the area is not very large, but the location is excellent, not far from the lake, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery anytime and anywhere. And in summer, a cool breeze blows from the lake, which makes people feel comfortable.
This small courtyard was originally the study of the old marquis, after the death of the old marquis, it became Jin Shaokang's study, and then Jin Yanran gradually grew up, like the scenery around the small courtyard, Jin Shaokang loved his sister, so he moved the study to Chutian Pavilion, and let the small courtyard live with his sister.
At this time, Jin Yanran was sitting at the desk, copying the female Analects with resentment, and a thick stack of paper next to her was a beautiful and elegant handwriting, which was the result of her writing in one day.
There was a notice from the personal maid Dongxue outside the door, "Miss, Master Hou is here!" ”
Jin Yanran flattened her mouth, didn't raise her head, and continued her copying, looking angry.
The door creaked open, followed by a familiar sound of footsteps.
Jin Yanran still didn't look up. The right hand writes non-stop.
"What's the matter, you're still angry with your brother, do you really ignore your brother?" Jin Shaokang's gentle voice came from his ears.
Jin Yanran didn't know why, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she raised her head and looked at Jin Shaokang, tears rolling in her eyes, "Brother doesn't hurt Yanran anymore, brother bullies people!" ”
Jin Shaokang smiled, walked to the desk, picked up the words written by Jin Yanran, looked at them carefully in the candlelight, and praised: "Yanran's words are getting better and better." ”
After receiving her brother's praise, Jin Yanran's face was slightly better, she raised her head, glanced at Jin Shaokang, and said angrily: "This is not my brother's credit, every time I punish people for copying the female Analects, now I can memorize the female Analects backwards!" ”
Jin Shaokang put down the paper in his hand, and then neatly sorted out the paper copied by his sister, pressed it with paper, and said softly: "I'm not good for you, girls only have good rules, and they will get the favor of their husbands and their mother-in-law in the future." ”
Jin Yanran is a straight intestine, seeing that her brother was willing to come to see her, and now talking to her so kindly, the anger in her heart has disappeared for a long time, she raised her head, looked at Jin Shaokang and smiled: "It's like Qiuyue's sister-in-law, right?" ”
Autumn Moon? Jin Shaokang remembered the virtuous generosity shown by Yu Qiuyue in his memory, and nodded slightly.
Jin Yanran said so quickly that she simply put down her pen and continued: "Sister-in-law Qiuyue is the most beautiful, virtuous, and kind woman I have ever seen!" changed from the main room to the concubine room, without a single complaint, and whispered to Jiang Ruolan, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it! ”
Is there really no complaint? Jin Shaokang remembered what Yu Qiuyue said in the rosin courtyard, and she was afraid that her heart was not so calm, but as Yanran said, how could there be no complaints from the main room to the concubine room?
Speaking of this matter, Jin Shaokang remembered the purpose of his visit, he sat down on a mahogany chair next to the desk, looked at her and said, "Yanran, I know you don't like Jiang Ruolan, but she is now Mrs. Hou of the Holy Decree, and you can't be unruly with her in the future." Your words and deeds are watched by so many people, if they spread the word, how will everyone look at you? My brother doesn't want to punish you, he just wants you to know that if you are so rude, you will be hurt in the end! ”
Jin Yanran felt her brother's concern, and her heart was moved, she turned the desk, moved a stool and sat down next to Jin Shaokang, like when she was a child, leaning her head on his strong arm, this action made her feel safe.
She said softly: "Brother, do you know why I hate Jiang Ruolan so much, I don't hate her because of her previous evil deeds, nor because of how rude her personality is. It's because she ruined her brother's happiness! ”
"Brother and Sister-in-law Qiuyue are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, I remember when Sister-in-law Qiuyue came to the house for the first time, I saw you and her in the back garden, and said a conversation, I don't remember what you said at that time, I only remember that the picture was very beautiful at that time, my brother's expression was very gentle, and you seemed to have a good chat, I was thinking at that time, if my brother could have such a gentle and beautiful woman as his wife, talk very happily, and be harmonious, then my brother will be very happy in his life!"
Jin Yanran's soft voice was full of emotion, and Jin Shaokang couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head when he heard it. The memory also returned to that day, on that day, after he and Yu Qiuyue met, they just chatted casually for a while, and Yu Qiuyue became a chapter, and he was really amazed by her talent. In retrospect, his mood at that time was very calm and uneventful. Soon after, when his mother proposed to her family, he agreed, because he felt that Yu Qiuyue was very suitable as his wife. If it weren't for Jiang Ruolan's troubles, maybe he and Yu Qiuyue would be in harmony as Jin Yanran said.
But there was Jiang Ruolan's forced marriage, at that time, Qiu Yue said to herself in tears that as long as she could be with him, she was willing to be a concubine, at that time, he was really moved, so he asked the emperor to give her a flat wife......
"But all this was ruined by Jiang Ruolan!" Jin Yanran said hatefully, "How is she worthy of her brother?" But he was forced to insert between his brother and Qiuyue's sister-in-law, making Qiuyue's sister-in-law unhappy, but the woman her brother likes is always pressed by her and always bullied by her, how can my brother be happy? It's like the most beautiful picture, and someone suddenly draws a few incongruous lines, and all the beauty is destroyed! So I hate her, and I want to scold her when I see her swaggering and smug look! ”
Seeing his sister gritting his teeth and saying bad things about Jiang Ruolan, Jin Shaokang's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he withdrew his hand, and said hesitantly: "Actually...... She's worked hard......" he remembered the day he saw her practice walking seriously, and she did it again and again, even though she was sweating profusely, and she didn't think about giving up.
Jin Yanran raised her head in surprise: "Brother, are you speaking for her?" ”
Jin Shaokang's heart felt irritability for no reason, he stood up, and his expression returned to his usual calm and silent.
"It's not too early, and you don't have to copy it too late, be careful of hurting your eyes." After saying that, he shook his robe, turned around and left his sister's room.
Jin Yanran looked at Jin Shaokang's departing back with wide eyes, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
***
Yu Qiuyue was admiring a gilded enamel vase sent by Gu Bao Zhai, although she was a concubine, but Mrs. Tai was very generous to her, knowing that she liked antiques, so she asked Gu Bao Zhai's shopkeeper to send treasures for her to choose.
At this time, the big girl Lizhu who had just risen next to her hurriedly came in and told her that the Hou Ye went to Qiutang Courtyard at noon!
Yu Qiuyue was shocked, her hand slipped, and with a "bang", the vase worth several hundred taels immediately fell to the ground and turned into pieces!
Yu Qiuyue was angry and anxious in her heart, and immediately threw a slap on her face, "Dead minion, can't you wait for me to put down the vase?" ”
Lizhu knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!" ”
At this time, several maids heard the sound and walked in, and the maid Yuetao sent by Mrs. Tai was also among them.
Yuetao looked at the debris on the ground and asked, "Auntie, what happened?" ”
Yu Qiuyue hurriedly put away the anger on her face, pointed at Lizhu on the ground and said, "Lizhu accidentally broke the vase!" ”
Yue Tao glanced at Lizhu, who was blushing and swollen on the ground, and didn't say anything, just beckoned the little girls to clean up the debris. Then he turned and walked out.
Yu Qiuyue glared at Yuetao's back fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "It's really everywhere!" Then he walked up to Lizhu and asked in a low voice, "How long has Master Hou been there?" ”
"It is said that it didn't take long to come out!"
Yu Qiuyue bit her lip and said gloomily: "Vixen, you want to rob Master Hou with me, and you don't look in the mirror!" ”
