Chapter 107: What is Virtuous?
In the crowded gambling hall, everyone stared at the gambling table with a pair of red eyes and high-pitched interest, only a few dice in their eyes, only those few cards, a handful of silver pushed around, from time to time someone took a finger to make a bet, and often there was no person with a finger on the table.
Wei Xin sat in the box on the second floor and gambled with a group of powerful people, he almost didn't lose a game in the first half of the night, two hundred taels has now become twenty thousand taels, he hired someone on the spot to buy a box to fill him with silver tickets, until in the second half of the night, someone began to find out that something was wrong.
"There's something wrong with this dice!"
Someone found that the weight of the dice was abnormal, so they stopped to check, and after the inspection, someone pointed at Wei Xin and shouted: "Okay, you dare to go out of the old man!" ”
"I said, how can you keep winning, so that's it!"
A group of people who lost red eyes stood up one after another, but Wei Xin looked innocent: "How can Ben Hou be a good man, it's just a joke, and Ben Hou is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose......"
Where can the group of red-eyed people still hear such words, snorted coldly, and gathered around him.
Wei Xin saw that this group of people was afraid that they would not die, so he hurriedly got up, grabbed a handful of silver tickets and threw them out: "If you want to return it to you, this marquis is the emperor's own ......."
"What bullshit? This is covered by His Royal Highness King Xiao, and no one can make a mistake here! Someone shouted, and more than a dozen people came up together and punched and kicked Wei Xin.
I don't know who shouted: "Break his leg!" ”
Several people pressed on his leg in unison, and when Wei Xin was already dying, someone directly lifted a stool and threw it on his leg, and he heard a heart-rending roar, and then he saw that there was a piece of wood running through his calf and stomach from the broken stool.
Wei Xin's miserable screams finally spread, and the gambling house was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly took a burlap bag and covered his head, carried it and threw it out.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Wei hadn't fallen asleep, she was thinking about Yun's words, until a grandmother hurriedly knocked on the door, saying that something had happened to Wei Xin.
"What's wrong?" Old Madam Wei asked with a cold face.
"Master Hou was carried back and pulled back covered in blood, and his legs and stomachs were pierced by wood." After Mama finished speaking, Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and hurriedly ran out.
By the time the news reached Wei Ruyi's ears, it was already the next morning.
Wei Ruyi naturally wanted to go back to the Wei Mansion to serve, this was also what she thought, in the Wei Mansion, it was more convenient for her to enter and exit, and she didn't worry that the people in the palace would take care of such a big incident in the gambling house, after all, what was going to happen next was one after another.
Chen Ding and Chen Jian personally escorted Wei Ruyi back on the orders of Old Lady Chen, but Chen Yansleeve couldn't follow him because he was about to get married, so he gave up.
Wei Xin was lying on the bed, his whole body was wooden, embarrassment, shame and anger filled his head, and he had no leisure to care about Chen Ding and Chen Jian. As for Wei Ruyi, he knew that she would definitely not take such a breath for herself, and he couldn't allow her daughter to stand up for herself, which was too embarrassing.
"Since it's okay, let's get some rest." Chen Ding said coldly, then turned his head and went out.
Chen Jian smiled, and reached out to touch his leg: "Former brother-in-law, you said that you are doing such evil now, is it retribution?" ”
Wei Xin opened his mouth and closed it tightly, not a word came out.
Wei Ruyi wanted to laugh a little, but she still held back, and only said: "Since Daddy has gone home, let's rest at home, my daughter will definitely report to the official......"
"No need." Wei Xin called out to her, he was a dignified marquis, and he was beaten by a few hooligans in the gambling hall and went to the government, I was afraid that he would not be able to lose his face. When he's better, he'll definitely take revenge on himself!
Wei Ruyi just wanted to hear him say that he didn't have to, and now that he said it, she was naturally happy. However, when she saw Mrs. Wei guarding on the side for half the night, she was a little surprised, in the end, the mother and son were connected, even if she tore her face like that, she still couldn't give up this unkind son.
When he came out of Wei Xin's room, he happened to meet Meng Chang and Sun Shangshu who came together.
Meng Chang's attitude towards Wei Ruyi was much better, but he still didn't talk much, so he said to her when he only met: "Your eldest aunt's health is much better." ”
"That's good, when I'm busy for a few days, I'll go see my aunt." Princess Anchang's death is still in her heart, she must ask again to find out who is behind the poison and what the purpose is!
Sun Shangshu was very polite to the Chen family, and Chen Ding knew that he was now on Lou Yan's side, so naturally he would not make things difficult for him.
A few people were talking, and Wei Ruyi went back to Nanfeng Courtyard first.
I haven't come back for a long time, the medicinal materials in Nanfeng Courtyard are growing well, and the people in the courtyard are even more polite and thoughtful when they see her, for fear that Wei Ruyi will be a little dissatisfied.
They served so cautiously that Wei Ruyi didn't bother to say anything, so he just handed it over to Mu Ying to take care of.
"Miss, there is another person in this house, do you remember?" Someone outside came in with tea, and suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ruyi raised her eyes to look at her, she was familiar with this girl, but she couldn't name it.
When Yahuan heard this, she hurriedly said: "I heard that Aunt Liu is not crazy, and since the old lady came back, the slaves and maids have heard that the old lady seems to be deliberately taking her out, saying that she is going to attend some wedding." ”
Wei Ruyi immediately thought of Sister Yansleeve's wedding a few days later.
Yahuan saw her solemn face, and immediately said: "The slave maid also heard that Miss Chen was going to get married recently, so she thought of telling you this." ”
"Good." Wei Ruyi took a piece of silver for two taels to her, and said with a light smile: "I haven't come back for a long time, and the things in this house are not clear, so I ask you to help me watch more." ”
When Yahuan saw this large piece of silver, she immediately responded happily: "Don't worry, the slave will definitely help you keep an eye on it." ”
"But if it's unfounded, it's better not to waste my time." Wei Ruyi's smile was still the same, but Yahuan felt a trace of murderous aura, a cold air rose from the soles of her feet, and she hurriedly responded, and waited for Wei Ruyi to wave her hand before she dared to retreat.
After Mu Ying came in, Wei Ruyi said: "Arrange someone to go and see Aunt Liu, if she doesn't want to live here, it's not impossible to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate." ”
Mu Ying nodded: "The slave will arrange it." ”
After a while, Mu Ying came back with a little smile on her face: "There was news from outside just now that something happened to the Rui Wangfu. ”
"What?"
"Lord Rui was furious yesterday because the concubine girl in the drunken flower building was wrapped up by a man named Pi Feng, and almost killed Pi Feng on the spot, but this Pi Feng reported to his home in order to save his life, and it was from King Rong's mansion." Mu Ying said excitedly: "I didn't expect the dog to eat the dog so fast." ”
Wei Ruyi smiled, Rui Wang waited until now to find out, I am afraid that Qi Zheng has played a role, I think Fang Qiaoqiao should not have time to manage Fang Jian recently, although Qi Zheng is reckless, but because of this recklessness, maybe it will be able to happen soon.
In the afternoon, the story of King Rui's fight with someone in the Qinglou for a prostitute quickly spread.
The emperor has always restrained the princes under him, and they can take concubines, but they are never allowed to be embarrassed in a ninth-rate place like Goolan Courtyard, and King Rui has touched the emperor's anger this time.
The emperor has been exhausted lately, and he never thought that the always low-key King Rui would come out to cause trouble for him.
King Rui knew that he was at a loss, so he went to Yun's house to discuss countermeasures with Yun Xiang on the same day.
When Lou Yan heard the news from Ah Zhong, he said, "Who arranged the Qinglou for Ruyi?" ”
"It's a little white face." Ayi said: "But Xiaobaimian recently had a daughter-in-law, so you don't have to worry." ”
Ah Zhong also followed and said, "Don't worry, we will not let Miss Wei enter such a dirty place." ”
Lou Yan glanced at them, and only ordered: "Go and arrange it, the emperor is already planning to make a prince, and King Ping needs to quickly sit in this position." ”
"My subordinates understand."
Ah Zhong and Ah Yi responded and immediately went to do it.
Only then did Lou Yan pick up the jade flute next to him and put it on his lips, and the distant sound of the flute spread, and the birds in the forest seemed to be about to sleep in this silence.
The black-clothed girl standing on the wall with her hands in her hands looked at the man playing the flute from a distance, and she only felt familiar inexplicably, but she couldn't remember where this familiarity came from for a while.
The person beside her: "Miss, the matter of harmony has been delayed, and the head of the family has already urged you to return to Fusang." ”
The bird on Shamu's shoulder jumped and stared at the man, who hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again.
Sha Mu said: "When I find out the details of Wei Ruyi, and then find out the details of this man, I will go back." ”
"Miss, Wei Ruyi, we can help you catch it and study it slowly, but this Lou Yan, the head of the family has ordered, don't provoke it." The man said carefully.
Shamu disdainful: "A weak man, why can't he be provoked?" My Bailuo bird can kill him, not to mention my poison, can he avoid it? ”
The man still wanted to explain, but Sha Mu didn't bother to listen anymore: "I've found out, there are many people in this capital who want to kill the two of them, I will find an opportunity, if you don't want to stay here, go and serve the princess." ”
"The princess said she wanted to see you."
"Nope." At the mention of this, a trace of disgust overflowed in Shamu's eyes, and then he covered it up again, before turning around and jumping under the wall, turning his head and disappearing into the National Teacher's Mansion.
When she left, Lou Yan's flute slowly stopped.
Mu Yun walked over and said, "Let's go." ”
"What did you say?"
"I want to check on you and Miss Wei. You might want to take Miss Wei with you. Mu Yun said.
Lou Yan saw that this was really the purpose, and said lightly: "Just take precautions." What's the situation on the Daqi side? ”
"Shizun has arrived in Daqi, Daqi originally had the idea of asking for a proton, but after Fusang sent someone to make peace, he has dispelled this idea."
"Hmm." Lou Yan continued to pick up the jade flute, and Sha Mu, who went and turned back, looked at Lou Yan who was sitting by the lake by the pillar, the more she looked at it, the more familiar she became, and she also wondered if Lou Yan was the man who destroyed their family's poison storehouse back then, but that man's martial arts were unmatched, and Lou Yan was a weak chicken no matter how he looked at it.
She looked at it again, and after making sure that Lou Yan was not, she left with doubts.
Afternoon.
Wei Ruyi discussed with Wei Xin about sending Aunt Liu away, but it was a discussion, but in fact, Wei Xin would even refute Wei Ruyi now.
He knew that Wei Ruyi, who was now cold-faced, would not be in his hands anymore.
"Since you don't like it, just send it away, but Ruyi, Daddy is having a hard time now, since you are a princess, can you talk to Lou Yan and let him come to see me?"
Wei Xin thought about it, in his opinion, these things had to be handled by Lou Yan for him. Although Lou Yan obviously didn't take him, his father-in-law, seriously, but when Wei Ruyi spoke, he didn't believe that Lou Yan didn't listen to him.
Wei Ruyi didn't know where he came from, and he was confident that he would listen to him, and smiled lightly: "Instead of seeing him, my father should think about how to heal his injuries." ”
"Then you just won't?" Wei Xin's tone was slightly colder, and Wei Ruyi said, "Yes, I don't want to." ”
Wei Xin didn't expect her to answer like this, and thought that he couldn't force himself with Wei Ruyi, so he had to say, "Okay, just if you don't want to." I'm sick now, and I can't do it without someone around to serve me, Aunt Liu is an old man who has been with me for so many years, so let her serve her. ”
Wei Ruyi was a little dumbfounded when he saw that he was actually threatening him with this.
She stood up and smiled lightly: "Then Ruyi, please ask Aunt Liu to serve." With that, he turned around and went out.
"Wait, Ruyi...... "Where does Wei Xin really want Aunt Liu to serve, as soon as Wei Chaofang died, Aunt Liu went crazy, and she may hate herself.
But Wei Ruyi just didn't hear his voice and left directly.
After a while, Aunt Liu was sent over, and Wei Ruyi was very considerate and asked people to close the door.
When she left the Wei Mansion, most of the people here were sent away by her, and the rest are now her only orders.
In the afternoon, there was another scream in the room of Wei Xin, who was recuperating from his injuries, until the evening when he hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, Wei Xin was already half dead, and the thin mattress was stained with blood, as for Aunt Liu, her hair was torn off a large piece, and there were a lot of bruises on her neck, but looking at her bloody nails, I also knew that she had gained a lot.
"Drive her to Zhuangzi and let her go immediately!"
Wei Xin almost trembled and said this, Aunt Liu refused to leave, but she was still gagged and kidnapped directly.
When Mrs. Wei came, Wei Ruyi was waiting for her at the door.
"The old lady is here, just right." Wei Ruyi stood faintly and smiled lightly.
When Mrs. Wei saw that she didn't call her grandmother, she also knew in her heart that the friendship between her ancestors and grandchildren was over.
"Since you are the granddaughter of the Wei family, you should be good for the Wei family everywhere." The old lady looked at her.
"What is the old lady referring to?" Wei Ruyi asked her.
Old Madam Wei had a cold face: "I know you are smart, but as a woman, the housekeeping is the first priority, and the virtuous and virtuous lady is even more important, you must focus on men everywhere, even if you sacrifice yourself, you should also do it for the good of the family masters." But now, before you get married, you help outsiders everywhere, virtuous and virtuous, which word have you achieved? ”
The smile on the corner of Wei Ruyi's mouth was big: "The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the old lady is so virtuous, when I have heard this sentence, Ruyi is the lower beam of the Wei family, and the upper beam is not right, how can Ruyi's lower beam not be crooked?" ”
The hand held in front of Mrs. Wei trembled slightly: "You mean me?" ”
"Ruyi doesn't dare, you are an elder in the end, but you can't do it with men as the sky, and your granddaughter naturally can't do it. However, Ruyi can remind you that you still want to save this Wei family, and you had better not get involved in the marriage in three days. This is Wei Ruyi's last advice, she said good words one by one, but they couldn't listen to half of them, so she didn't have to make any effort.
Wei Ruyi saw that she didn't speak, lowered her eyes and saluted her, and walked away.
Old Madam Wei turned to look at her back, her hands were slightly pinched together, and she really believed what the Yun family told her, Wei Ruyi was a disaster star from the sky, coming to harm her Wei family, if she didn't get rid of it, the Wei family would never be at peace!
Jin Chenghan has been dormant like a mouse for a long time, he doesn't know what kind of disease he has contracted recently, and his body began to crawl with red and hard abscesses one after another, so that he didn't dare to see people during the day, and only dared to come out to move when it was dark.
He gathered with the long-faced monk Wan Fang, and Wan Fang looked at Jin Chenghan gloomily and said, "You have really decided?" If something happens to you, don't catch me. ”
"It's better to live than to die if I live now, it's better to drag her to die with me!" Jin Chenghan said coldly.
Wan Fang saw that he had this determination, thought about the almighty master who was killed in broad daylight, swallowed his saliva, and saw Jin Chenghan take out a gold ingot and put it in front of him: "After the matter is completed, it is a gold ingot plus five hundred taels of silver tickets." ”
"Deal!" Wan Fang immediately put away the gold ingot, and Jin Chenghan rewrapped his cloak and left.
As soon as he left, Wan Fang touched his bare head, hehe laughed, but before he took two steps, Ah Zhong broke his wrist, moved his neck again, clicked, and after a while, he put the saber on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Where is the master?" ”
"You, you, you......"
"Don't stutter, I'll tell you, if you want to listen to me, I won't kill you, if you don't listen, how did the almighty die, I will let you die......"
Ayi followed Jin Chenghan all the way through the dark alley, saw him enter the gate of the Yun family, smiled, and then turned around and left.
Just the day before Chen Yansleeve's wedding, the Liu family finally found the son of the Yun family hiding in Xishan, and stared at him all the way back to Yunfu, and immediately sent the news back to the queen.
At the beginning, the son of the Yun family went to treat cholera with King Xuan, King Xuan died, he didn't have anything to do, no matter who fell into his heart, he was afraid to wonder if the Yun family was making trouble behind his back!
When the head of the Yun family saw him fleeing back alive, he didn't wait for his father and mother to be happy, he came out with a stick and beat him half to death, before he panted and asked him: "Didn't you wait for the limelight to come back, why did you come back now!" ”
"Grandfather, someone wanted to arrest me, so I had to flee back." Yun Gui shrunk into a ball and cried, and when the head of the Yun family heard this, he didn't hold the stick.
Seeing this, the Yun clan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
"This idiot fled back to the Yun family, just afraid that the queen would find out."
"What's the matter with the queen, the Liu family has no power for a long time, and the queen is even more ...... paper tiger"
"What capital does my Yun family have now, is it stronger than a paper tiger? Have you forgotten how my son and grandson died? Yun Xiang scolded angrily, and when Yun saw that he was so nervous, he only thought that something really important had happened, so he said, "Then what now?" ”
"Unless you kill this idiot, you will send it to the door of Liu's house." After Yun Tao finished speaking, Yun Gui's parents immediately knelt down and pleaded. However, Yun Gui's father is just a concubine, and he is plain and low-key and out of the limelight, Yun Tao doesn't pay much attention to it, but in the final analysis, he is still his own son.
Their faces were full of tears and pleaded, but the head of the Yun family was not ruthless.
"If you don't send it, what else can you do?"
"Wait a minute, let King Rui go to the palace to find out the queen's tone first." After Yun Tao finished speaking, he asked Yun Gui to be locked in the courtyard, and then he took Yun Clan away.
Now, they are only waiting for the day of Chen Yansleeve's wedding.
The night before the wedding, Wei Ruyi came to Chen's house from the Wei Mansion and told them about the Wei family in advance.
"This old fool, I'm going to go to her and make it clear!" Old lady Chen was so angry that she couldn't wait to kill the Wei family immediately, Chen Ding and Chen Jian's faces were not very good-looking, but the second lady said: "She relies on the old and sells the old, but Xiao Ruyi is a clever person, and she doesn't eat her." ”
Wei Ruyi smiled bitterly in her heart, she only understood after suffering so much, and blindly compromising couldn't get the family affection she was looking forward to.
"Ruyi, what are your plans?" Chen Yansleeve asked her.
Wei Ruyi was just about to say, when the son, who was sitting in the corner and looked like a child, shook the jade pendant in his hand and said, "What's the use of the little girl's idea, come here, call brother, brother Ming'er will tie the old woman to your home, how about it?" ”
Wei Ruyi: "......"
This cousin is very unusual.
Chen Jian glanced at him: "Don't tease your sister." ”
Chen Youcai still said unhurriedly: "Dad, you have teased me all my life, what's wrong with me teasing my sister, who made you and my mother not work hard, and didn't give birth to a sister......
"I'll kill you little bunny!" Chen Jian picked up the guy next to him and began to beat Chen Youcai, Chen Youcai ran around the house flexibly, and the second lady watched the play happily, and also instructed Chen Youcai how to run from time to time.
Chen Ding rubbed his eyebrows, Old Lady Chen also sighed, and Wei Ruyi said sweetly: "Brother, Ming'er can do me a favor." ”
Chen Youcai listened to this warm and glutinous brother, his heart melted, and his footsteps immediately stopped: "No problem!" After speaking, as soon as he bent his waist, Chen Jian's slap swept from behind him fell into the air, and then looked, Chen Youcai had already run out of smoke, and he didn't forget to talk to Wei Ruyi: "Xiao Yi'er, Ming'er can shout a few more brothers!" ”
Wei Ruyi smiled and bent his eyes, looking at the squirrel, it was so interesting, it was a pity that he was in his previous life......
"Second uncle, you can be talented, just wait for him to marry a wife." Chen Yansleeve also persuaded him, and after speaking, he looked at Wei Ruyi: "And there is wishful thinking, it can't be bad." ”
"You believe her girl." Old Lady Chen saw that they were fooling around, so she simply sent them out and discussed it herself.
Chen Yansleeve came out with Wei Ruyi, and the moon just happened to come out of the dark clouds, which was exceptionally bright.
Chen Yansleeve pointed to the sky and said: "Ruyi, you see, keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”
Wei Ruyi knew that she wanted to comfort herself, and looked at her seriously: "Sister, don't worry, Ruyi won't be confused, but cherish the people in front of you, and my sister must also remember." ”
Chen Yansleeve was slightly stunned, and then remembered Jiang Yan, laughed out loud, and didn't take this husband to heart at all.
Ming'er married in the past, so she should give an explanation to her life as a woman.
Wei Ruyi didn't say much, but in her opinion, her sister is good, Jiang Yan is also good, since they get along day and night, they will definitely have feelings, she only hopes that when the time comes, they can see their hearts in time.
