Chapter 241 The harder you work, the luckier you get
"If General Chu Xiao is alive, he will also disdain a woman's money to support him." Shang Yunrou curled the corners of her lips sneeringly.
Not every man is spoiled and lawless, and not every man will be at ease when he spends other people's money.
When she was unknown, no one cared about her, and she thought that she could change her status in her parents' hearts with her efforts, but everything was what she thought about a lot.
"I know you're angry that I'm partial to your brother, but I'm right, what's the use of a girl, it's not that you have to marry someone else's family in the future, only a son can continue the incense, if you want to blame yourself, who made you not a kid." Mrs. Shang's face was taken for granted, "You are not good to your brother now, I think you will be wronged in your in-law's house in the future, who will help you." ”
As soon as Mrs. Shang's words fell, the younger brother, who was holding his chin with one hand and watching the show, looked even more proud.
He looked at Shang Yunrou's gloomy face, and deliberately said obediently: "Forget it, my sister must have been stimulated by Miss Chu, she is ashamed of herself, she is in a bad mood, as the saying goes, good men don't fight with women, what do I care about with a woman." ”
Mrs. Shang glanced at Shang Yunrou, with a look in her brother's sensible eyes.
Shang Yunrou didn't speak, she only felt cold in her heart, without the slightest temperature, and she couldn't even feel whether it was beating or not.
Why is this happening? They are all their children, and they themselves will live in the dark mud and cultivate a white lotus.
"You go back." Madame looked at her coldly, "Recently, I have been dealing with a woman like the Chu family for a long time, and I have brought you badly." ”
Shang Yunrou only felt that she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.
Chu Ruojun obviously only came back today and talked to her a few words, and most of them were talking by herself, so she could also blame the Chu family, she now somewhat understood what was going on with the Chu family's so bad reputation, maybe she didn't do anything, it was because others couldn't see her well.
I can't see an unconventional woman jumping out, not accepting that others are different from herself, and anyone who is different will be beaten to death with a stick, because in their image, this is not abiding by women's ways.
Shang Yunrou left in front of them, and then locked herself in the boudoir, crying or laughing at the few branches that came in front of the window.
Only the heart is full of sorrow.
.....
"Ruojun hasn't come back yet." As soon as the old lady's worried words fell, a clear footstep suddenly came from outside the door.
Before Chu Ruojun entered the door, many people surrounded her, "Miss, how is it?" ”
"That's it." Chu Ruojun grinned, "I successfully made the emperor hate me." ”
"Huh?" The subordinates were a little confused, and they were still wondering whether the emperor's hatred and anger were the same thing, and the old lady's anxious voice came: "Ruojun...... Why did it take so long to come back? ”
"Because I wanted to celebrate, I bought roast goose, hahaha." Chu Ruojun smiled heartlessly, along the way, she walked back happily with a few roast geese, and greeted strangers when she met them. It almost made people think that she was not normal.
The smile on the corner of Chu Ruojun's mouth was firm and arbitrary, and the old lady dared to be sure that she really didn't suffer any grievances.
The old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, and suddenly felt that her heart was slowly rising, and tears fell unexpectedly.
"Grandma..... I'm so good, why are I crying. Chu Ruojun hurriedly handed the roast goose to the person next to her, wiped her tears for her grandmother with her sleeve, and asked with a smile.
The old lady held her hand, and her voice was hoarse: "Grandma is happy, you girl has always been worried, and thanks to your good life, you can save the day every time." ”
"It must be grandma, your good karma has blessed me." Chu Ruojun's smile was impeccable.
Li Yekai looked at her side face, and he didn't know when he curled the corners of his lips, Maybe it was really God's blessing, but he firmly believed that the so-called luck was just a lie told by the powerful.
The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Chu Ruojun took Li Yekai to play in the imperial city for a few days, although the old lady was reluctant to let her stay for a few more days, and finally stayed by her side until Chu Minggang came back.
But when she thought of the emperor, she was faintly worried, for fear that there would be any arrangements, and it would be better to weigh it and leave.
On the day she left, the old lady stuffed a stack of silver tickets into her arms and said: "Buy whatever you want, don't treat yourself badly, grandma knows that you spend money lavishly, write a letter to grandma when you have no money, and grandma will let people carry it." ”
"I'm paid in the game, and it's not low." Chu Ruojun smiled, took out the silver ticket from her arms and stuffed it back, "I can support myself, let my grandmother keep this money." ”
The old lady held the silver ticket, and suddenly stuffed it all to Li Yekai, "You help her keep it, she, her heart is big, she doesn't know if she drops, grandma sees that you are a reliable child, this money, you spend it together, don't save money for grandma." ”
Li Yekai saw so much money for the first time and was quite frightened.
He felt a little dazed in his head, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Grandma, I don't want it, I don't want it." ”
In the end, they still couldn't resist Grandma's insistence, and accepted it on the surface, but when Grandma was not paying attention, they pulled out half of it and put it under her pillow.
"Grandma, why don't you go with me to see Jiangnan." Chu Ruojun winked at her.
"No, no." A kind smile appeared on the old lady's face, "Grandma went there when she was young. ”
Chu Ruojun smiled, left the burden behind her, and turned over neatly on the horse at the same time as Li Yekai, and waved her hand again, "Grandma, I'm leaving." ”
"Let's go, be careful all the way." The old lady smiled and watched her gradually leave, and when she was out of sight, she sighed and returned to the room.
As soon as she entered, she found that the pillow was wrong, there were traces of being moved, and she hurriedly took it away to take a look, isn't this the silver ticket she took away, this girl, and disobedient!
"She hasn't gone far yet, you go after it." The old lady hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket into the guard's hand, "If you chase Jiangnan, you will also give it to her." ”
"Okay." The guard took the silver ticket, walked straight to the stable, led the horse and chased after him.
Chu Ruojun passed through the bustling street and saw a businessman in an exotic costume selling melons, and a group of people gathered around, and they all said that it was delicious after tasting it, and those who were a little rich bought that piece, and they were reluctant to buy a second piece.
Li Yekai glanced at it curiously, and Chu Ruojun smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Let's take a look." ”
The exotic merchant saw them riding two horses, the black clothes showed their slender and chic figures, and the swords on their backs could be seen from the ornamentation of the hilt, and they looked like the rich children of rich families.
The merchant immediately cut off two pieces and handed them to them with a smile: "Shaoxia try it." ”
Chu Ruojun also took it with a smile, after eating this piece, she knew that this melon He De could be sold so expensive, the juice was overflowing, the mouth was full of fragrance, and the sweetness made people happy.
The two of them looked at each other very tacitly, and then couldn't help but smile at the corners of their lips.
"How much is one?" Chu Ruojun asked.
"Ten taels of silver." The merchant's words were firm.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yekai was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "We only have a few dozen taels of silver a month in the dart game, and we can only buy these two melons, it's too expensive." ”
What's more, the Pingsheng Dart Game has a great reputation, and the salary is relatively high.
"It's different." Chu Ruojun smiled, "You can make it again when the money is gone, and if this melon is gone, you may not know when you will meet it." ”
"You have a point!" The merchant happily patted the melon, "How about it, come to one, I'll pick a big one for you." ”
"Okay!" Chu Ruojun pointed, "That's it, help me cut it." ”
"Okay." The merchant quickly cut the melon, put it in a small bamboo basket and handed it to her.
Li Yekai had no choice but to follow her and take out the money, because she put all the money in him, at that time he was still moved by her trust and honesty, but now that she looks at it, she just feels that she is in trouble with money, and she doesn't care, even if she secretly takes it, she doesn't know.
The merchant also prepared tables and chairs, and after they ate a few pieces, they felt uncomfortable with the sweetness of their throats, Chu Ruojun's eyes lit up, "Let's go eat spicy rabbit meat and press it." ”
Li Ye flattened his mouth, "Senior sister, can your taste be a little more unique?" ”
Chu Ruojun seemed to have been praised, grinned brightly, pulled his sleeve and walked forward, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Li Yekai had no choice but to carry a bamboo basket to follow, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman with a warm temperament, he couldn't help but look at it twice, this woman looked very clean and gentle, with a fair complexion, and a pair of soft eyes under her delicate eyebrows.
She also happened to see them, and saw Chu Ruojun pulling the arm of another young man with clear eyebrows, and was stunned.
Chu Ruojun picked the corners of her lips and smiled, "It's a coincidence, I met again." ”
Then she casually patted Li Yekai on the shoulder and introduced him: "This is Shang Yunrou, a famous talented woman in the imperial city. ”
"I'm glad I will." Li Yekai bowed slightly.
Shang Yunrou's heart was soft, and the taste was difficult to distinguish, this was the first time someone had introduced her like this.
Everyone will say that this is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, Miss Shang.
Then they smiled and flattered: Shangshu really has a good daughter, Ling Qianjin......
"Who is this?" Shang Yunrou looked at the young man beside her, her crimson lips pursed slightly.
"This is my junior brother, Li Yekai." Chu Ruojun said with a smile.
Shang Yunrou smiled gently, "I see. ”
"Eat melons together?" Li Yekai saw that they knew each other, and the two of them obviously couldn't finish eating these melons, so he took the initiative to ask.
"This is the one for ten taels of silver?" Shang Yunrou's tone was slightly surprised.
"yes, it's worth the money." Chu Ruojun smiled, "Let's go to that store over there and try it together." ”
Shang Yunrou politely excused herself.
Chu Ruojun knew that a lady like her was like this, and in order to show her reserve, she would refrain first.
Until Shang Yunrou said softly: "Because my father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he follows the etiquette the most, and the "Book of Rites" says that men and women do not sit together, do not teach in person, and do not understand clothes. ”
Li Yekai didn't understand for a while, he hadn't read the Book of Rites, and he looked confused.
Chu Ruojun smiled awkwardly, "Men and women can't sit together, even if a woman is married, she can't sit with her brother when she goes back to her parents' house, if you don't teach it in person, it's rude for men and women to pass things in person, for example, your melon should be handed over to the woman, and the woman will hand it to her, and finally I, a woman dressed as a man." ”
After Li Yekai listened, he was confused or not, but surprised, "Ah?" "Yes.
Shang Yunrou saw that she was embarrassed, and added, "It's not that I don't think I have to follow the etiquette, but I'm not strong enough now, so I can only do this." ”
Chu Ruojun nodded, she understood the feeling of having to listen to her father's words.
