Chapter 67: Inexplicable
Since Zhu Heyu opened a carved door between the west road and the middle road of the palace in order to go to Fuhuan Courtyard for convenience, it has been much more convenient for Zhu Ran to return to his courtyard from Zhu Heyu's bedroom. Coming out of Qingfeng Ju, his mind wandered along the way, and he was about to pass through the small door of the carved railing at this time, when he saw Du Yuxuan standing in the middle of the aisle in a dark blue shirt. was taken aback, and before Zhu Ran could say anything, Du Yuxuan took the lead in asking, "Zhu Ran, are we friends?" ”
Du Yuxuan and Lin Yunchen are two kinds of people, Lin Yunchen is full of ruffians on weekdays, and he is heavy and calm when he encounters trouble; However, Du Yuxuan's temperament change is not based on the priority of things, but on people, and the more powerful he is, the more unruly and unruly he behaves in front of people who care about him. On the contrary, in front of Zhu Ran and the common people, he is a humble gentleman.
Hearing him ask, Zhu Ran walked up to him and joked: "Du Yuxuan, you and I Zhu Ran are not friends, aren't you still lovers?" ”
When Du Yuxuan heard Zhu Ran say this, he leaned close to her face and said with a smile: "It's not impossible!" ”
Zhu Ran knew that Du Yuxuan never paid attention to whether men and women were intimate or not in front of him, but at this time, he was afraid that he would have ears in the palace, and he didn't want or wanted him to answer like this, so he stretched out his hand to push him away, changed the topic, and said: "I heard that you have a crush on my eldest sister and want to take her as a concubine?" ”
"Your eldest sister Zhuyu?" Du Yuxuan looked at Zhu Ran and pretended to be relaxed: "That's right! Miss Zhu is beautiful, and she is worthy of her son. ”
"No way!" Zhu Ran said directly in a hurry.
Du Yuxuan heard Zhu Ran say this, but his face inadvertently showed a hint of hope, and asked, "Why not?" ”
Zhu Ran softened his tone, and wanted to beg Du Yuxuan: "I beg you, there are so many girls around you, is there still one who needs Zhu Yu." As soon as these words came out, not only did it not work at all, but also provoked Du Yuxuan to leave all of a sudden.
Zhu Ran didn't think much about it, ran in front of Du Yuxuan, blocked his way, and said, "Didn't you say that we were friends before!" As long as you don't marry Zhuyu as a concubine, I owe you a favor, isn't this okay! ”
Du Yuxuan tilted his neck to look at Zhu Ran, and said with a sarcastic smile for a long time: "Okay! My Du Yuxuan's favor is not so easy to repay! ”
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds!" Zhu Ran stretched out his hand to high-five Du Yuxuan, but he made a fuss. I only heard Du Yuxuan say: "Do you think I like the women like Zhuyu?" What kind of taste I am! ”
Zhu Ran knew that Zhu Yu was not worthy of Du Yuxuan, not only his family background, but also Du Yuxuan's wonderful hand, Zhu Yu was left behind by him for 108,000 miles. bowed his head and was silent, and listened to Du Yuxuan continue: "It's just last night, on the good day of Qixi Festival, I was wandering around the streets, and suddenly someone talked about how Zhu Ran's identity was, how he and Lu Zihan were at the beginning, and if you look closely, it is a woman who looks a little similar to you." blocked her way, and learned from the mouth of the maid next to her that it was the eldest lady of the Zhuchang County family. I suddenly had an idea in my heart, who is more rude, she or Cao Shuyao, it is better to let the two of them make a show and see the excitement! Seeing that Zhu Ran didn't answer, Du Yuxuan asked, "Don't you wonder what Zhu Yu said about you?" ”
Did you talk about her past with Lu Zihan, did you say that her status was lowly and she was not worthy of Zhu Heyu, that's all......
Du Yuxuan couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you and Lu Zihan?" But I didn't want Zhuran's ruddy face to lose color instantly, and I felt that I didn't talk about it.
"Thank you." Zhu Ran thought that his expression was no different from usual, but he didn't want Du Yuxuan to have already seen the clues. She understood the reason for the incident, and Zhuyu scolded her on the street for gossiping, and Du Yuxuan heard it and wanted to teach Zhuyu some lessons, so she deliberately threatened to take Zhuyu as a concubine.
Du Yuxuan pretended to be puzzled and said, "What are you thanking me for!" ”
Zhu Ran looked at Du Yuxuan and explained: "This time I beg you not because of how kind I am in my heart, nor how magnanimous I am, and how much I want to repay my grievances with virtue, but for other reasons." ”
Du Yuxuan heard Zhu Ran say this, and changed his words and said, "In order to come here to see you this time, I have wasted all my strength!" ”
Zhu Ran just laughed, but he didn't believe it, and pouted: "It's a waste of nine cows and two tigers to paint a gold lacquer vase with a hollow peony pattern in the West Sea that has been blocked by me!" ”
Du Yuxuan said in a half-truth, half-truth, half-fictional tone: "If you can be quiet, Hao doesn't have to shy away from appreciating the beauties in Ruixin's palace for an hour, even if you waste the strength of the nine cows and two tigers, I am afraid that you will earn it." ”
Although Zhu Ran was joking about his painting of vases, he knew in his heart that Du Yuxuan was thinking about her by not painting himself but painting vases. I'm afraid that Zhu Heyu will be suspicious of her relationship with Du Yuxuan, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to be by Zhu Heyu's side.
After the matter was finished, Zhu Ran bypassed Du Yuxuan and wanted to go to Fuhuan Courtyard, but Du Yuxuan said behind Zhu Ran in a very serious tone: "In order to come here to see you, I lost a "Blue Mountain Map". ”
Zhu Ran almost didn't stand firm after hearing this, and turned to look at Du Yuxuan, but he was no longer there.
"Blue Mountain", also known as "Blue Thread", is more of an embroidery than a painting. This is a story that has been passed down for hundreds of years. According to legend, a woman in a green building and a poor scholar complained about their love for each other. In order to redeem his beloved, the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, and as a result, he was promoted in one fell swoop, and the title of the gold list was awarded. The scholar is talented, talented, young and handsome, and is actually favored by the prime minister's beloved daughter. In the face of the sincerity of the past and the splendid future of the present, the scholar retreated. As "Blue Mountain" to the Qinglou woman, "Blue Mountain" takes the meaning of "blocking the mountain". The woman had heard some gossip before, but when she saw the painting, her heart was like a mirror. In a fit of rage, he cut off his waist-length hair, used his hair as a thread, and embroidered it on the "Blue Mountain Map". After the embroidery was completed, he climbed to Hu'an Mountain, where the two were in love, and decided to die. The story ends here, no scholar knows the aftermath of the incident, and there is no whereabouts of this painting, the only thing that is known is that this woman is Xiao Man, the originator of the weaving and embroidery industry. The scholar is Zheng Dao, a famous landscape painter, and has handed down a work "Hu'an Mountain", which is now collected in the imperial study of the palace, and the "Blue Mountain Map" is gone. But there is also a saying that the prime minister's beloved daughter took a fancy to the scholar, and the scholar explained to the prime minister the situation between him and the Qinglou woman, but he didn't want the prime minister to coerce and lure, and he actually threatened the scholar with the life of the Qinglou woman to marry his beloved daughter. In order to save the life of the woman in the Qinglou, the scholar made "Blue Mountain Map" and sent it to the woman, wanting the woman to die and pursue happiness again, but he didn't want the woman to be so strong, and he decided to die after cutting his hair and embroidering the picture. Zhu Ran thought about the story that was circulating, and ironically said in his heart, no matter which way it is said, it is true that a scholar marries the prime minister's beloved daughter, it is true that a young girl dies, and it is also true that a scholar is unforgivable......
Back at Fuhuan Courtyard, there was news from Zhufu during dinner, which was a letter from Zhao Yihong. The letter only mentioned Du Yuxuan's dismissal of Zhu Ran as a concubine, and did not mention anything about the marriage of Shui Xin and Zhu Lang. Zhu Ran looked at the envelope and was speechless for a moment, knowing that Zhao Yihong was telling herself that she was Zhu Lang's mother, and Shui Xin couldn't pass her by marrying Zhu Lang. Thinking about it, the marriage between Shui Xin and Zhu Lang is man-made, Zhu Ran doesn't believe it, Shui Xin can't enter the gate of Zhufu!
After resting for two days, Zhu Heyu didn't come to disturb her......
