Chapter 41: Did You Beat My Cousin?!
As soon as he entered the General's Mansion, before the door was completely closed, Qiu Yulan grabbed Ruan Qingyan's sleeve in a hurry: "How do you know about the letter?!" "She, the person who inherited the memory of the original body, has no impression, Ruan Qingyan, the heir of the nominal successor to the Ruan family for less than half a year, even handed the letter to everyone - the blind can see that there is something strange about his origin!
But Ruan Qingyan looked calm: "It was Ruan An who told me!" ”
"Ruan An?!" Qiu Yulan was stunned and looked at Ruan An, the old housekeeper who came out not far away.
Sure enough, Ruan An came up to salute, and asked anxiously: "Can you use that letter today?" ”
"Yes." Ruan Qingyan bowed his head and saluted him solemnly, "Thanks to Uncle Ruan's reminder, otherwise there will be a big disaster today!" "If Ruan Qingyan hadn't come up with the letter in time, no matter how eloquent Qiu Yulan was, he could only count on Empress Jiang to come forward today to mess up the situation and find other old people who had served the concubine.
But with Guan Mother's qualifications, there are really not many witnesses who can suppress her - besides, the Queen Mother's Party will sit back and watch the Queen Party find someone?
Ruan An avoided Ruan Qingyan's salute and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Yulan asked a little suspiciously: "Uncle Ruan, since you already knew that there was such a letter, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
"Alas!" Ruan An sighed, "You don't know that letter - it was originally the killer weapon left by the old lady to deal with the King of Xihe!" According to the old general's meaning, it must be used in the most critical place! Because you are still young now, and you still have to be raised by the palace, I am afraid that if you take it out, it will happen again. The old general originally planned to wait for you to reach the age of leaving the cabinet, and use it to change a good family with the Qiu family...... If you get married, it's not so easy for your mother's family to rule over you anymore! ”
No wonder the original body has been married to Deng Yiding for two years, and Princess Ruan only sent her daughter to escape from Xihe Palace last year. It is estimated that it is because of such a letter that General Ruan and Princess Ruan have a glimmer of hope. But I didn't expect Mrs. Lu to be so vicious, and directly attacked General Ruan and Princess Ruan.
Without the protection of her grandfather and mother, under normal circumstances, a half-grown orphan girl, even if she pinched the letter of Concubine Xihe, what kind of storm could she set off?
Besides, as soon as Princess Ruan died, Princess Yang and Qiu Yu generously turned her house inside and out - if the Ruan family didn't have Ruan Qingyan, it is estimated that as soon as the old general Ruan died, the Qiu family would come to the door in the name of handling the old general's affairs on behalf of Qiu Yulan, and search the general's mansion - at that time, even if there is any letter, where will it be Qiu Yulan's turn to know?
Qiu Yulan sighed: "Let's talk about it later, it's really a loss for this letter today......
Ruan An cautiously asked: "Then the court and the central government can decide on the disposition of the king of Xihe today?" ”
"No, I don't." Qiu Yulan and Ruan Qingyan glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a helpless look, "Because my cousin said that my grandmother's maiden family, the Lian family, also has a similar letter." The queen mother said that she must also take the letter from the Lian family and compare it before it can be accurate. Alas, I hope the Lian family will keep the letter well. ”
"The old man of the Lian family went in his early years, and several old men helped the spirit to return to his hometown, and he has been living in his hometown since then." Ruan An frowned and said, "The Lian family's ancestral home is Lanxi, and it is not close to Beijing!" This time back and forth, it will take a month to talk less! ”
Qiu Yulan said: "Yes, fortunately, the queen mother is in charge, so that I will still live in the general's mansion to serve my grandfather this month." ”
"It's really too dangerous for the county lord to go back to live in the palace now." Ruan An nodded, "Although it is said that the county lord will have any mistakes, the palace will definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship, but with the queen mother here, it may not dare to take risks over there!" ”
Qiu Yulan regretted: "There is no way, I am a junior." "If she weren't a junior, even if she had no evidence and was only suspected of killing Qiu Mengmin and others, her future would definitely be ruined - she wanted to take the road of death without proof than the Xihe Palace!
You must know that people born in the last days are best at what intrigue and murder is a necessary skill, okay! Qiu Yulan deeply sighed that his current strength was not as good as in his previous life, and he had to take the scheming route...... is still suppressed in seniority...... It would be nice to be able to ask Qiu Mengmin to solve all the problems alone......
Of course, Ruan An didn't know the big rebellious idea that was turning in her mind now, and comforted: "When the concubine's two letters are checked, how can the king of Xihe have the face to put up an uncle's shelf with you again?" ”
Having said this, Ruan Qingyan looked at the sky outside and said, "Set the meal, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
This is the end of the day, and the whole Kyoto is waiting for another letter from the Lian family and Concubine Xihe before her death.
The next day, Qiu Lan got up and was grooming, and suddenly heard a noise outside the door - it seemed to be Deng Yi? She hurriedly shouted to Su He: "You go out and have a look!" ”
Su He only took two steps, Chun Ran came in with a curtain, and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't need to send Su He out to see, it's Deng Gongzi." But he has been persuaded to return to Cuiwei Pavilion. ”
Qiu Yulan asked curiously, "What did he do here?" Did his cousin not teach him martial arts? ”
"Childe asked him to squat first, you said that this beginner, isn't this what it should be?" Chun Ran hooked the corners of his mouth, "But Deng Gongzi thinks that Gongzi is perfunctory to him......"
"Oh, that's Deng Yi unreasonable." Qiu Yulan nodded, "How can you learn real kung fu if you are so impetuous?" ”
Haruzen smiled and said, "That's what the county lord said. ”
"Then how did you persuade him to go back?" Qiu Yulan asked, "He ran to my door, it's not so easy to coax, right?" ”
Chun Ran suddenly coughed: "It was Sister Dong Ran who came to persuade her...... The servant was far away and didn't hear it! ”
This question then had an answer - Xia Ran, who picked two or three plum blossoms and came in to insert the bottle, said happily: "Sister Dong Ran still has a way, then Deng Gongzi refused to leave with a dead face, and Sister Dong Ran went up and made a gesture of pulling his sleeve, which scared him into the desert and fled!" Ha ha! ”
Qiu Yulan didn't have the slightest pity for Deng Yi, and leaned back and smiled while holding the dressing table: "Yes!" Tell him to bully that day! ”
She packed up and went to visit the old general Ruan, and found that Ruan Qingyan was not in the old general's outer room, and the maid sighed and explained: "The son has cleaned up the next room into a study, and you can go over and shout at any time if you have something." ”
"I'm fine, don't disturb my cousin's study." Qiu Yulan shook his head.
She accompanied General Ruan to noon, waited for General Ruan to sleep, and then walked next door and opened Zhang, seeing Ruan Qingyan sitting behind the bookcase, engrossed in Wen Shu, she made a silent gesture to Dong Dye and quietly left.
Halfway to the road, Qiu Yulan suddenly remembered and asked Chun Ran: "Deng Yi is still here?!" He didn't go back to the Lantern Festival the day before yesterday? ”
"He went back the day before yesterday, but came back that night." Haruzen said, "It was almost midday, and he woke up the people from the corner gate to come in." ”
"......" Qiu Yulan immediately turned around, "I'll take a look!" What the hell is his idea?! ”
Chun Ran hurriedly said: "Hey! Don't go! Childe said, I won't let you meet him! It's been a few days since Chunqiu, and knowing that you are going to look for him, Childe will definitely be distracted! ”
"Then don't tell your cousin!" Qiu Yulan said solemnly, "You don't want to miss your cousin's future, you must not let your cousin know!" This is related to the results of his ten years of hard study, the rise and fall of the Ruan family in the future, and the ...... Do you understand? ”
Spring dyeing and summer dyeing look at each other!
They couldn't resist Qiu Yulan, so they had to reluctantly follow her to Cuiwei Pavilion, and before they could enter, they heard a very discordant sound from the courtyard-
"It hurts, it hurts me!! You're not okay?! Deng Yi's voice was clear with grief and dying!
"Childe, bear with it, bear with it...... The small ones are good! "This voice is relatively unfamiliar, and it sounds like a little girl.
"I ...... I can't help it! Hurry up! When Deng Yi said this, he gasped several times.
"It's good to be small, it's good!" The little guy was a little flustered and appeased-it was estimated that he was too panicked and used a little force, and immediately heard Deng Yi's high-pitched cry of pain!
In view of Deng Yi's reputation, Qiu Yulan and his party suddenly had rich associations with the above dialogue - Qiu Yulan said "Don't go in and disturb other people's good things" and "It's too much!" In broad daylight, he actually did such an immoral thing in the Ruan family, in case it spreads, where will the Ruan family's face go", hesitated for half a second, and resolutely chose the latter: "What are you doing?!" ”
"You're here!" was startled by Qiu Yilan's sudden intrusion, but Deng Yi's master and servant had no shame, Deng Yi almost jumped up instead, and asked angrily, "At the beginning, you said that you wanted to teach me martial arts, but you left me here and didn't say anything, what kind of horse steps do you squat every day - squatting so that I have no right place in my body!" Look at the wine jar over there! I've used up two large jars of the medicinal wine used to rub my bruises! Don't teach me yet! ”
Qiu Yulan was stunned and looked at Deng Yi, who rolled up his sleeves and asked the little maid to give him medicine......
"You don't understand the truth of a tall building rising from the ground?!" After calming down, Qiu Yulan reached out and rubbed his face, turning his face expressionless, "Also, the Lantern Festival has passed, why are you here again?" ”
Deng Yi snorted: "Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts!" If I don't live here, it's just you and your cousin, it's strange that the lonely men and widows don't be talked about and die! ”
Qiu Yulan smiled: "You eat and drink for nothing in Ruan's house, and someone teaches you martial arts, do you still owe you favors?" ”
"Anyway, I don't pay for the house and don't pay for the meal!" Deng Yi immediately said vigilantly, "I don't have any money!" ”
Didn't I blackmail you once, and I failed, am I so obsessed with money?!
Qiu Yulan sneered in his heart, walked over and sat down opposite him: "Why did you run back again?" Your family, your cousin didn't even care? ”
Hearing Gu Yan, Deng Yi's face showed a touch of complexity, and said: "Anyway, I will only participate in the Autumn Festival next year, and now there are nearly two years to go, what does it matter if I occasionally live outside?" ”
"Don't talk about this kind of nonsense." Qiu Yulan said kindly, "Have you heard about the court meeting yesterday?" Your cousin must be disappointed, if you don't go back to comfort him, he blames you for turning your elbow outward! ”
Deng Yi frowned and said, "This is the Ruan family, you yourself are a guest, and you are still here to catch me?" He groaned and said, "By the way, is your cousin going to be out next month?" ”
"yes, awesome, right? Seventeen-year-old! Eighteen-year-old Jinshi! Qiu Yulan proudly showed off, "It's one year older than you!" Even if you can go to high school next year, you will be an eighteen-year-old! ”
Deng Yi glared at her: "It's not wise for him to do this!" Being able to win at the age of seventeen shows his talent! The so-called thirty young jinshi, at the age of his middle lift, calm down and read carefully for a few years before taking the exam, not to mention the champion, the top three can always fight! At that time, he was regarded as young and promising among the jinshi! He is going to take the exam now, I think it would be good to be able to get the second class - how can there be a top armor to get glory?! ”
He snorted again, "You think I can't pass the exam?" The few at the end of last autumn's exam were in the middle of the same with me! It's just to get a good ranking in the exam! It's not just me, Jiang Nineteen you know, he is sixteen this year, as early as three years ago, he made an essay that can pass the college examination, and then he can take the Xiucai exam - but in order to polish him, Qin Guogong has pressed him until now, and he will only be allowed to set foot in the imperial examination next year! ”
He sighed, "Why did Ruan Gongzi end up this year, I know the reason." But it's obviously the top armor, but now he only wants to be on the list, you mistake him, you mistake him! ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Yulan and shook his head, the painful gaze made Qiu Yulan silent for a moment, sent away the two of them, and asked Deng Yi, who looked inexplicable: "You give me an honest explanation - are you beating my cousin's idea?!" That's why you don't leave?! ”
