Chapter 172: Arrogance is a disease, and it can be cured
Fu Shurui's eyes followed Qin Ruobai's instructions, and landed on his clenched hand, as if he had been burned, and subconsciously let go quickly, but he was immediately embarrassed by his action of covering his ears and stealing the bell.
It was also at this moment that she was suddenly a little afraid that Qin Ruobai would look down on her, so she doubted her ability to do things, and her inferiority complex came suddenly, and even she was not prepared, so that her uneasy emotions were amplified, and the feeling of nervousness became even more difficult.
Sensing the change in her mood, Qin Ruobai comforted thoughtfully: "Actually, you don't need to feel nervous, I either don't choose, or I won't change it easily, if it is you, it can only be you, from some points of view, I am also a very stubborn person." ”
Qin Ruobai's relief is still very useful, Fu Shurui's emotions also began to calm down, and she felt that she was making a fuss, to some extent, Ji Fanglou's peach blossom jade pendant is still of high value, no matter whether she and Xiang Qing calculated Qin Ruobai or not, Qin Ruobai would not easily abandon her.
It's like rouge gouache bought at a high price, maybe it's not very suitable, but because it's hard to get, you generally choose to match it with other things to make it more pleasing to the eye.
However, on the way to Minghuaxuan, the three of them encountered an uninvited guest, who looked at the way they were, and when they saw Qin Ruobai's appearance, they strode towards Qin Ruobai, and Peanut immediately showed a vigilant look.
"Childe, can you take a step to speak? ”
Huo Chang's gaze paused on Fu Shurui, and quickly concealed the mysterious look in his eyes, and turned to Qin Ruobai, who stretched out his hand, and invited.
"No, let's just say it here, they are all my people, and they don't need to be hidden. Qin Ruobai glanced at Fu Shurui vaguely, observing the expression on Fu Shurui's face, she didn't quite understand Huo Chang's eyes that hurriedly avoided it, didn't she just tell her in disguise that Fu Mingrui had a bad relationship with him?
Huo Chang's tone was hesitant, what he wanted to say was not suitable for a woman, and the reason why he was so taboo was also a problem with Fu Shurui's identity, so that he couldn't say something about Qinglou to Fu Shurui.
Qin Ruobai looked at Fu Shurui directly, Fu Shurui knew what the other party meant immediately, pursed her red lips, and explained: "This is my cousin Huo Chang, the son of my eldest aunt, the reason why my grandfather's family was implicated in the first place was because of their Huo family. ”
Since they have all explained, Fu Shurui also simply explained clearly: "Xiang Qing is my second aunt's daughter, so we are all cousins. After finishing speaking, Fu Shurui stopped speaking, and stood beside Qin Ruobai with low eyebrows, looking like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.
This can make Huo Chang angry, he hid and didn't say anything, but he was explained clearly by Fu Shurui in a sentence or two, and then he remembered that Fu Shurui came with Qin Ruobai, could it be that Fu Shurui had already followed this man?
All this is really a coincidence, but whether it is a real coincidence or a fake coincidence, only Qin Ruobai herself knows best, she asked her father to help inquire about Huo Chang's basic information, including some family information about Huo Chang in Nanshan.
Huo Chang's father was actually the salt envoy of Nanshan, a profiteering official position alone, and even married the daughter of a general merchant, that is, Fu Mingrui's aunt, and as a salt merchant giant, he was naturally Fu Shurui's maternal grandfather.
Fu Shurui's second uncle is the local parent official in Nanshan, that is, Xiang Qing's father, several families have a close relationship, it can be said that they are the head snake in Nanshan, the building will fall, it is difficult to support a tree, and one after another is defeated, and someone must operate in it.
The most terrible thing about the people behind the scenes is not to let them collapse overnight, let alone send people to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but to grind them little by little until they are completely unsupportable, forcing them to leave the country.
A group of Nanshan's influential figures, such a tragic end, even the enemy does not know who it is, the elders may have guessed, but it is because they guessed that person, they dare not have the intention of resisting, for fear that they will not even have a chance to leave a foundation.
The people behind the scenes may not have imagined that these people in Nanshan are walking and crazy, but there are still a few children and grandchildren who are not willing to end here, but come to Kyoto, and plan to find a group opportunity to take a bite, and it is good to be able to tear off a piece of meat.
Even if he knew the inside story, Qin Ruobai resolutely refused to admit this statement, preferring to regard these simple thoughts as coincidences, well~ In the words of the gods, it was fate that brought them together.
So at this moment, Qin Ruobai raised his eyebrows, full of surprise: "Shouldn't you have made an appointment a long time ago?"
The posture of biting back, not too familiar with it, Qin Ruobai fell on Fu Shurui's body with suspicion: "I don't know what the girl's explanation is this time?"
Huo Chang was inexplicably surprised by the signs of the confrontation between the two of them, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was a sign that both of them were angry, but Qin Ruobai questioned Fu Shurui, and Fu Shurui was unhappy and Huo Chang suddenly appeared.
At that moment, Fu Shurui was aggrieved and explained to Qin Ruobai: "When he first came to Beijing, he didn't take me and Xiang Qing, I and Xiang Qing came by myself later, and I suffered a lot during this period, and now I don't want to see him at all." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Huo Chang with a little disgust, and when he saw him glaring angrily, he couldn't bear to turn around and turned his back to Huo Chang directly.
Huo Chang was not disgusted by the anger, "You fooled Xiang Qing too, do you know that you are all women, how many risks you have to go through along the way, especially your own fragile body, in addition to affecting Xiang Qing, what else will you do!"
In the face of such an accusation from him, Fu Shurui, who should have been very eloquent, suddenly quieted down, stubbornly turned her back to Huo Chang, and refused to take it back.
"What my cousin said was too much, if it weren't for Xiaorui, I might not have been able to reach Jingzhong safely along the way, how do you think she fooled me over, something like that happened at home, I also want to do my part!"
Xiang Qing finally stopped hiding in the dark, but walked out in a big way, hugged Fu Shurui, who had been crying silently, and let the other party lean on her shoulder, seeking comfort.
Huo Chang found that Fu Shurui's shoulders trembled slightly, and he understood that his words were excessive, but after experiencing his sister's affairs, he just blamed himself for not being able to bear the matter, if he was more powerful, would his sister not have to go to that kind of place to perform, he regretted it, if he didn't bring his sister to this capital, he would be more bitter alone, take more time, and if he failed, he would start again, so that he would not be separated forever like now.
He clenched his fists hatefully, the tip of his nose was pantothenic, and he tilted his head sideways to hide his sourness and weakness.
"He's also worried about you, after all, he doesn't have a sister anymore, and now he sees that you are also concerned. Faced with this kind of scene where both sides are stubborn like stinky stones, Qin Ruobai empathetically broke the silence of both sides.
However, Qin Ruobai's words were too direct, Huo Chang couldn't help but choke, a mouthful of old blood almost gushed out, he couldn't say it himself, and now it was brought up by another person, as if his wound was torn open by someone, so that others could take a look.
That's right, that's where he was injured in the first place.
Xiang Qing and Fu Shurui were even more shocked, and they didn't care about any sadness at the moment, and asked one after another, "What's going on?"
Huo Chang couldn't speak, and Qin Ruobai said again empatheticly: "Actually, it's ......"
"Don't say it, I'll do it myself!" Huo Chang was in pain, this person was so difficult to get along with, he didn't even give him time to relieve his surging mood.
Qin Ruobai persuaded without finishing his thoughts: "It's better for me to come, you can't do it yourself, and you may not know it as comprehensively as I do." ”
Huo Chang was blocked back, and stood with his head in more pain, but he acquiesced to Qin Ruobai's statement, he understood how much energy this person had, so the other party probably knew much more clearly than he wanted to get up.
In fact, he just wanted to succeed quickly, he had the ability to pass a scientific examination, but he couldn't be sure that he would be selected, so he planned to take more money to bribe the examiner, but he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a piece of clothing at that time, so his stupid sister went to Minghuaxuan to sell her art without selling herself, and her stage name was Huaihua. ”
Then there was the death of Huaihua, Qin Ruobai also made it clear, and by the way, he also told Fu Shurui that the first thing to do next was to find out the person who drugged Huaihua.
Qin Ruobai spoke very truthfully, and pointed to Huo Chang on the side: "In addition to being indecisive and unable to achieve things, he at least has the heart to avenge his sister. ”
Huo Chang frowned and looked at Qin Ruobai and explained, "At that time, all the silver on our bodies was stolen, and even food and clothing became a problem. ”
At this time, Qin Ruobai smiled again, very gentle.
Every time she saw Miss laughing like this, Peanut knew that she was going to start scolding people again, and she suddenly stared at Huo Chang, lest he get angry and start beating people.
"After all these years of depression, haven't you thought about what it is?" Qin Ruobai showed a funny expression, and suddenly remembered the days when she was abused to death by her master, don't look at her so courageous in front of these people from outside, when facing her own two masters and the hateful Baili Yu, her combat effectiveness was much weaker.
And no one comes from the blow, she plans to help them in the future, she can't leave the possibility of being pitted, she would rather provoke the other party, but also give him an analysis, only to know that sometimes, the opportunity is actually in front of him, and he has hurt others because of his arrogance.
