Chapter 18 Darkness Under the Light

Speaking of Princess Ke, Ruan Qiniang couldn't help but pout, as if she was such a virtuous person in the "Eight Wildernesses", who didn't know who! In modern times, there is a rotten stalk that says, "It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you playing and chatting?" ”

Long ago, Su Su had organized the language, and then he passed it aside in his mind before he said: "I got some news, Princess Ke is going to attack the tenth sister, but I can't contact her, so I can only rely on you, the seventh sister." As for where she got the news, this sister can't say, please don't ask. ”

Hehe, it's so rough and direct, no way, Su Su got a lesson from himself, that is, don't lie as a last resort, even if it's a white lie, it's very likely to collapse, and you can't justify yourself.

Ruan Qiniang naturally believes that Thirteen Niang will not joke about Shi Niang, and Princess Ke is already a sweet-hearted person, although Shi Niang is now a concubine, she can wait for the Ruan family to be reinstated, and Shi Niang's identity is second only to the princess in the backyard of Queen Ke.

Princess Ke does not have a concubine now, if Shi Niang's fetus is a boy, although it is not the eldest son, but it is the highest status among the concubines, and it is also the most threatening to her own concubine in the future.

Not to mention, what Ruan Qiniang thinks is exactly what Princess Ke thinks, after all, as the noble daughter of the Ningguo Mansion of the Four Founding Princes, she naturally knows the edict of the Founding Shengwu Emperor, and the Ruan family will definitely be reinstated.

As a pillow person, Princess Ke naturally knows the ambition of her own prince, that is, to ascend to the highest position, not to mention that her own prince is still the emperor's concubine, at least half of the chance of being made the prince, as for whether he can ascend the throne as the emperor, in Dachu, the elder brother and the prince really rely on their own abilities.

If King Ke fails, the best is to be confined, and the worst is naturally death, not to mention how to fail, just say that if King Ke succeeds, then Ruan Shi Niang is also one of the four ladies of Zhengyipin, Guishu and Dexian.

Although all the adult men of the Ruan family were beheaded, and the surviving boys were only two or three kittens, there were still some girls married to the Ruan family. Not to mention others, Ruan Shi Niang also has a sister Ruan Qi Niang, her foreign family is the Zhenguo Mansion, her maternal aunt is the aunt of the Wenchang Hou Mansion, and her own husband's family is Annan Bo Mansion.

Only these three families can connect all the eighteen nobles in series, although the eighteen nobles have been married for generations, and they are all relatives, but the relatives are still close to each other, and in terms of connections, even Princess Ke is not as good as Ruan Qi Niang, and the relationship between Ruan Qi Niang and Ruan Shi Niang has always been very good.

At this time, Ruan Qiniang didn't know that taking care of her sister because of her guilt for her sister was the fuse that caused Princess Ke to kill her, she listened to Su Su's words, and said, "Who hasn't had a secret?" Seventh Sister believes in you. Shi Niang is about to give birth, even if you don't say it, I can't rest assured, that Princess Ke is a sweet-hearted and bitter person, if she can hold back and not make a move, it will be surprising, you can rest assured, I have arranged for someone to enter King Ke's mansion to protect Shi Niang. ”

Ruan Qi Niang learned that Shi Niang had become King Ke's woman, although she hated her tooth roots, but she could only pinch her nose and admit it, knowing that Shi Niang was pregnant, she took advantage of the time when King Ke's Mansion bought people, and sent the secret guard idea that her uncle secretly gave her into the palace, and now she is in front of Shi Niang.

And after Su Su knew this, he didn't put down his heart when he mentioned it, and said: "Seventh sister, I got the news that Princess Ke is going to start when she is going to hold a flower banquet in the palace, and I think it will only be the time for the Double Ninth Festival in September. ”

After all, in the original book, Ruan Qi Niang may have also given Ruan Shi Niang manpower guards, but Ruan Shi Niang still had a bad hand, causing Ruan Shi Niang's first child to be born without breathing.

Thinking of this, Su Su's face was not very good-looking, and said: "Seventh sister, I know some things when I go out of the house this time, let's think about things in the bad first, and do it in the good." ”

After speaking, Su Su picked up some modern medical knowledge and told Ruan Qiniang about it, especially if the fetus is born without breathing, it is likely that it is not dead, and there is probably a weak heartbeat, after all, there is still a phenomenon of giving birth to a child for a few days and nights, and the child is still alive, so you must believe in the child's desire to survive. (As for whether there is a scientific basis, hehe, who cares, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!) )

Although Ruan Qiniang felt incredible, when she saw Su Su's very serious expression, she also became serious and kept it in her heart. "Our house really received a post from Princess Ke to send a chrysanthemum meeting, I didn't expect Shi Niang to give her such a big threat, Princess Ke, who has always asked her to be the 'future mother of the country', actually did not hesitate to hit her mouth to make a move at the chrysanthemum meeting."

Su Su thought about it for a while, and felt that Princess Ke was really scheming, "Although it may be in front of people to make a move at the Chrysanthemum Meeting, but it is precisely this that can best clear up the suspicion, after all, the Chrysanthemum Club is presided over by her, and everyone must also think that she will not do that self-slapping thing, what is this called?" ”

Ruan Qiniang smiled, gritted her teeth and said, "It's dark under the lamp." I will also participate in the chrysanthemum party, and when the time comes, you can rest assured! ”

After talking about Ruan Shi Niang, Su Su saw that the time was about the same, and the four of them should also come up, so he hurried up and took out a jade lock of mutton fat white jade the size of an egg from the cuff, embossed bat Ruyi on one side, and engraved with the words "Sui Sui Ping" on the other.

"As a maid before, a needle and a thread were rewarded by the master, but I knew that my sister gave birth to a nephew, and as an aunt, I had nothing to do. This is my own carving after leaving the house, the material is sent by your future brother-in-law, please sister don't dislike it, although we can't meet, but it is my aunt's heart. ”

Ruan Qiniang almost burst into tears when she heard Su Su say this, her heart was really sour, she wiped her tears, and said with a forced smile: "Such a good thing, where will I dislike it, I will give it to Brother Zhen when I go back." "Ruan Qi Niang's son's name is Zhao Anzhen, and he is two years old this year.

Ruan Qiniang took the jade lock, and she had seen it very extraordinary before, and when she got it in her hand, she naturally knew that it was extremely precious, and there were not a few such superb mutton fat white jade in her dowry. Not to mention that Su Su made it himself. She was not shallow-eyed, but the joy on her face was very obvious.

"Susu, whether a man treats you well or not, don't just listen to those sweet words without repetition, but also see if he hands over his private room, and see if he is reluctant to spend money on you. Now that my brother-in-law is very attentive to you, I let go of half of my heart. When you get to the northwest and meet Rokuro, I will be able to let go of the other half. ”

As she spoke, the expression on Ruan Qiniang's face became serious, "My sister wants to tell you a few words, find an opportunity, you can secretly recognize Liulang, I will also write to my mother, ask her to take care of you, just don't be negligent, you must know that if you are not careful, it may harm the person we love, and the one above wishes that our family would die!" ”

Su Su nodded very firmly, and then was a little embarrassed, and told Ruan Qiniang about the "cousin" remarks he made up, Ruan Qiniang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's also a way, after all, even my mother doesn't know what Aunt Su's origin is, and the only father who knows Aunt Su's identity is gone, and the remaining one is Liulang." ”

Su Su didn't expect to hear such a secret, Aunt Su's identity didn't even know the Qin family, she felt that she better not to ask, curiosity killed the cat!

Ruan Qiniang and Su Su gave a few more instructions, and handed over a big box she brought to Su Su, saying: "When you got married, my sister couldn't put makeup on you openly, just take this opportunity to give you something, don't say no, this is what you deserve." Ruan Qiniang thought for a while and said: "Father still knows that he is thinking about us, and he left a sum of money and handed it over to my mother before the incident, if the matter fails, they naturally have no way to live, and those belongings are for the survivors, but unfortunately the one above will keep an eye on the Zhenguo Mansion, otherwise, the second sister-in-law and Sister Long will definitely not end up like this." ”

Speaking of this, Ruan Qi Niang's eyes are all red, and the only one who really died tragically was the second sister-in-law of the third room, and this person is actually the noble daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, one of the four major mansions of the founding of the country, which is really "a big joke in the world." ”

Su Su looked at her worriedly, "Seventh sister, the deceased is gone!" Ruan Qiniang nodded and restrained her emotions, "I know, it's just Su Su, you were sent to Yangzhou, I don't know what insults the Ruan family members who stayed in the capital, if it weren't for the fact that my foreign family is the Zhenguo Mansion, and my uncle is the general who guards the northwest, I'm afraid I don't even have the courage to live." ”

Ruan Qiniang didn't want to mention the past, and Su Su didn't want to know, the burden was too heavy, so she could only say: "Seventh sister, we will always live longer than him." "And the country that he worked so hard to get will finally be handed over to the Ruan family's bloodline, which is really a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.

Su Su and Ruan Qi Niang heard three knocks on the wall of the mechanism that had been flipped before, and Ruan Qi Niang said: "Your maid is coming up, Seventh Sister is gone, there is something to contact, you yourself are out of the house now, you have to be careful in everything." ”

Su Su couldn't help but report to Ruan Qiniang, "Seventh sister, you and the tenth sister must also be happy!" Ruan Qiniang touched Su Su's head, didn't say anything, knocked on the wall three times, someone opened the mechanism over there, the wall flipped again, and Su Su himself was left in the box again.

Su Su didn't have time to be sad, so she quickly turned Ruan Qiniang's teacup back upside down, pushed back the stool she had made, and it was just right when Fan Dai and the other four little maids knocked on the door, but Su Su looked at the big box on the table and was a little worried, she didn't know what was inside, how to explain it later.

Su Su hurriedly opened the box and glanced at it, she was really frightened by the handwriting of the seventh sister, even if their scumbag father found out about it, it was impossible to leave so many dowries for a concubine, a box full of exquisite and valuable jewelry, as well as a thick stack of gold and silver tickets, Su Su didn't have time to count how many, and quickly stuffed it into the burden she carried.

Then he closed the box and said, "Come in!" "It's not even thirty seconds, and Fan Dai and the others don't suspect anything at all. Fan Dai pushed the door in, her face was still a little embarrassed, and she smiled and said: "I told the girl to wait for a long time, but the jewelry full of gold and jade is too exquisite, and the slaves and maids are dazzling to pick and choose." ”

Fan Dai came to him flatteringly, "Girl, how about you look at this hairpin that the slave maid picked?" Saying that, he handed the hairpin in his hand to Su Su, Su Su fixed his eyes, it was just a silver hairpin, but the hairpin head was inlaid with a few rubies, and it was gathered into three or two plum blossoms, the ruby is not big, and the clarity is not very good, but the workmanship of this hairpin is very exquisite, and it looks very spiritual.

As for why Su Su looked like it was made by an apprentice, it was because she stayed in the Qiaogong Pavilion in Yangzhou for a period of time in order to learn carving, and the gems on the hairpin were scraps at a glance, which could only be used to practice for the apprentices.

Su Su's eyesight naturally went without saying, and he guessed eight or nine without leaving ten, and asked, "How much silver?" Fan Dai said a little distressed: "I want three and a half silver!" Su Su nodded and said, "If it is about workmanship, but you take advantage of it, as long as this hairpin is exchanged for a slightly better gem, I am afraid it will be multiplied tenfold." ”

When Fan Dai heard Su Su's words, she immediately smiled, "The slave maid still has some broken gems from the girl, just go back and find a chance to set them again." She naturally believed what the girl said, and Fan Dai looked at the hairpin as if she were looking at thirty taels of silver.

Su Su didn't feel it, and then looked at the tangram, Linglong and ink jewelry, Qiqiao picked a pair of lantern-shaped silver earrings, hollow inside, containing a bean-sized pearl, very small and cute.

Linglong picked a silver silk ring, the hair silky silver thread braided into a peony flower, a small ring only used a penny of silver, but the workmanship had to be one or two.

The ink pick is a pair of jasper jasmine hairpins, the color of the jade is good, but only the water species is not, but it is still better in carving, five or six small jasmine flowers gathered into a cluster, which is also lifelike.

When Su Su asked someone to pay the bill, he actually learned that the four little girls had already paid in advance, so Su Su couldn't cry or laugh, "Is the master so poor that he can't even afford this little silver?" "Even the jasmine hairpin of ink is the most expensive, only six taels of silver.

The four little girls shook their heads again and again, and said, "The slaves and maids naturally don't think so, and they also know that the girls love us, but this is the first time that the slaves and maids buy jewelry by themselves, and they feel that it is more meaningful to use their own silver." "If it is said that the girls are poor and only have money left, it is almost the same, but their father and mother have long taught that the master's kindness is not the reason for them to be unscrupulous, and they must also remember that "Shengmi En's fight against Mi Hatred," must not take it for granted that girls are good to them.

If Su Su knew how the father and mother of the four little girls taught them, I am afraid that she would be even more grateful to Grandpa Qiao, but this time, the reason they found, Su Su couldn't refute it, so she had to follow them, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future.

Su Su came to the hall full of gold and jade, and also found a reason, now naturally can't just leave without doing anything, so she called Fan Dai to call the shopkeeper to come up, she took advantage of this kung fu to untie the burden, took out the things she brought, and stuffed the box on the table into the baggage.

The ink and wash only thought that the box was the jewelry that the girl had already picked, although the box was bigger and looked quite heavy, but the girl was rich, and it was nothing to buy more jewelry. After all, even those of them who don't have much money want to move the gold and jade back to the house, and that woman can refuse jewelry, no!
