Chapter 193: Ju Zhong
The next day, the sky was slightly pale, Wei Changjuan got up and sent Liu Ruoye, who had a long talk with him all night, and was only now ready to leave while there were few people: "Sister Liu, I only now know what it means to be 'Swift Wind Knowing Grass', I used to think that the ladies of all the families in the imperial capital were my friends, but I didn't mean that in the past few months, except for Sister Min and you, no one else has paid attention to me." ”
Liu Ruoye said gently: "It's really sad for everyone to hear what you said, in fact, it's not just me and the sister of the Min family who came to see you, it's just the two of us who remember you - you know that it's not very convenient to come to your house now, and one is that there are elders in the family who are afraid that they will disturb your family; The second is that I don't know that you are not doing well here, and I heard that the 'door' said that you are sad and don't want to see outsiders! Otherwise, everyone will definitely go against the will of the elders and come to see you. ”
Wei Changjuan thought that Liu Ruoye had been sent away several times, and even to the point where she needed to bribe the 'door' from the corner and pretend to be a 'woman' to 'mix' in, she couldn't help but be embarrassed, and she also complained a little to Wei Changwan in her heart: "I just said that Sister Liu is a good person, why does the eldest sister want to suspect that she brought me bad?" How can I be so stupid! What's more, I just said a word about the people on the side, and there are no others here, and Sister Liu has to explain it to them. It can be seen that Sister Liu treats people with sincerity, but the eldest sister is always suspicious of her, hey! ”
It's just that Wei Changwan is her sister-in-law in the end, Wei Changjuan didn't want Liu Ruoye to know that it was Wei Changwan who refused her to go to the 'door', and after a little thought, she put the blame on the Min family and the Zhou family: "I have never told the 'door' to say that I can't see Sister Liu, you or anyone, the 'door' does this, I don't think he has the courage to do it!" It must be the Min family and the Zhou family who treat me badly, and the other wall is afraid that people will know, so they deliberately told the 'door' like this, in case someone comes to see me and find out the truth. Spread it out so that they would be shameless...... Alas, I'm really sorry for you, I have such a sister-in-law! ”
Liu Ruoye sighed lightly and said, "Don't hate them too much, maybe they haven't been a family before." Now that it's all at once, it's a little 'messy', and I can't take care of you for a while. Besides, I can't help but feel depressed in my heart, so I feel a little impatient when I see your words. After all, you are living under their hands now, and it is better to be tolerant of everything, otherwise, you will be angry and angry, but what should you do? ”
Seeing Wei Changjuan's face 'revealed' and uncertain, she changed her words again and said, "Of course, if Sister-in-law Min and Sister-in-law Zhou are too much, don't be too wronged yourself!" How to say that you are also your father's brother's blood, your father and brother are categorically not towards your sister-in-law or towards you. What's more, I heard you say that Sister-in-law Min and Sister-in-law Zhou are really excessive, and they are not the conduct that a 'woman' should have. It's a pity that the relationship between our two families has taken a turn for several times, and I didn't think about it all night last night and couldn't figure out anyone who could help you talk to your two sisters-in-law...... But when I go back and talk to my mother, see if she has any good ideas. ”
Wei Changjuan was so moved that she almost shed tears again, and said, "Sister Liu, you treat me so well." ”
"I don't like to hear you say that, it's too outward." Liu Ruoye hated her, "Do the two of us still need this?" He repeatedly told her not to be too wronged.
Wei Changjuan was so sad that she pressed the handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, and said with emotion: "It is really good for others to treat me or perfunctory on the scene, in this life, there are Sister Liu, you and Sister Min, two friends who know each other, and I am worth it." Although Sister Min's words of persuasion to me are different from what you say, I know that your hearts are all for my good. However, speaking of which, I prefer Sister Liu's words of persuasion to me, Sister Min is good at everything, but she always loves to persuade me to bow my head with Fengzhou and Wei Changying...... I can't swallow that breath in my heart! ”
Liu Ruoye was still dressed as a 'woman', and when she heard this, she smiled faintly and said, "Sister, you are worried now, and I won't tell you some things, so as not to make you even more uncomfortable." ”
When Wei Changjuan heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her: "Sister Liu, what else do you know?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
"Sister Wei Qi, listen to me this time, there are some things, but it's better if you don't know." Liu Ruoye said gently, "Especially now that you are uncomfortable, why do you want to be more worried?" ”
The more she said this, the more Wei Changjuan wanted to pull her to ask for an understanding - but this time Liu Ruoye's attitude was surprisingly resolute, and she only said: "In the past, I always couldn't stand your grinding, and I told you what I knew I shouldn't tell you, but in the end, I hurt you." Now I can't do that anymore, you listen to me, don't ask more. ”
In the end, he threw Wei Changjuan off and left.
Back at Liu's house, Zhang Shaoguang was in the room, and when he heard that the 'girl' was back, he came out of the inner room, and saw Liu Ruoye wearing the clothes that he went out of yesterday, so he said: "After so much effort, I changed my clothes?" I said, "You're coming right here." ”
Liu Ruoye said: "The 'girl' changed it in the carriage, in case people looked suspicious when they got off the carriage. ”
"What's going on with that little thing in the Wei family?" But she didn't see you? But since you spent the night at Wei's house, do you think she was persuaded by you? Zhang Shaoguang asked left and right to step back, poured a bowl of hot tea for the 'girl' with his own hands, and asked with a smile.
Liu Ruoye took a sip and said with a smile: "She has to have that eyesight to guard against the 'girl', and the 'girl' couldn't get in yesterday." The 'female' guessed that the 'female' did not let the 'female' in at the 'door', it must have been Wei Changwan's idea, or it was the rest of the Wei family. ”
He also said, "We guessed correctly before, the Duanmu clan was indeed 'forced' to death by Mrs. Song." ”
Zhang Shaoguang said: "Since the third lady of the Wei family married to the imperial capital, Wei Changjuan couldn't get along with her three times and twice, and I knew that Wei Shengyi's house was going to be bad." The old lady of the Wei family, when she mentions it, they all say that she respects the rules, but in fact, what everyone really wants to say is ruthless! At that time, when I was in the imperial capital, I couldn't control my head, but I didn't dare to slack off when I saw her, she was still alive now, Wei Changjuan actually dared to take the initiative to provoke her only granddaughter, isn't this her own death? ”
"It's also that this seventh lady is young, I haven't seen her grandmother, and I don't know how to be afraid!" Think when I was a concubine' girl, how well-behaved and considerate and sensible I was under my mother's hands? That's it, you can't compare with your sister-in-law, if it weren't for your mother-in-law's early......"
Liu Ruoye smiled: "Mother compared Wei Changjuan with you at that time, but she was too much to praise her, she is a person who is spoiled by her parents and doesn't know the height of the sky, where can she compare with her mother?" ”
After discussing Wei Changjuan for a few sentences, Zhang Shaoguang talked to the 'girl' and said: "You have been enveloping this little thing for a few days, and now she is really to the point of having no doubt about you?" She also has a good relationship with the 'girl' child of the Min family, don't let the child of the Min family know that it is a small matter to dissuade her, and it is not good to suspect us. ”
"Where can the 'girl' not guard against Min Yinuo? When I left today, I also reminded Wei Changjuan! Liu Ruoye smiled lightly and said, "Although she is now guarding filial piety, she can't hear much news outside." But everyone knows that she has a good relationship with Min Yinuo, and when the day comes, her two sisters-in-law will give her a separate backup gift in order to look good on the scene, can you not tell her? ”
Zhang Shaoguang said: "You just reminded her, didn't tell her?" ”
Liu Ruoye smiled: "What did the 'girl' tell her to do? Now the day hasn't come yet, I told her, she heard a fuss, Min Yinuo is not there, Min Yinuo will go in two days, maybe he can explain the past? Mother also knows how easy Wei Changjuan is. When the day came, others told her, where could Min Yinuo 'smoke' at that time? Let Wei Changjuan know who is really good for her. ”
"My son is so smart." Zhang Shaoguang praised the 'daughter' with satisfaction, and said, "With such an internal and external attack, I'm not afraid that she won't obey you." I'm afraid she'll drag you into the water later, which is a problem. ”
Liu Ruoye pursed her lips and smiled: "If she wants to drag the 'girl' into the water, she has to be able to drag it down!" ”
When the mother and daughter were talking, a subordinate who was waiting in Zhang Shaoguang's courtyard quietly went out of the 'door' and went to a family in the alley behind the house where the children lived and said a few words. After a long time, the next person went back to continue to serve, and the family came out, and walked through the streets and alleys for a 'chaotic' stroll, and saw that there was no one to watch, but he went straight to the house that the palace people had purchased outside near the palace.
In the afternoon of the same day, the crown princess Liu Ruo 'Yu' waited for the queen to have lunch and returned to the East Palace. When passing through the main hall, I can hear the sound of the inner voice, and it seems that there are many "women" laughing, and there are charming and passionate words in the laughter. The accompanying palace people didn't dare to make a sound, but Liu Ruo's 'jade' just smiled, his footsteps did not stop, and his expression remained unchanged, and he walked over lightly. All kinds of entertainment in the main hall were like spider silk to her, and there was no trace of them with just a brush.
After taking a breath in his bedroom, he felt that such a day was boring, and a palace person outside came in and said softly: "Ju Zhong asks to see Niangniang." ”
"Let him in." Liu Ruo's 'jade' squinted his eyes: this Ju Zhong was originally a 'servant' in the East Palace, and after she married into the East Palace, she tried it several times and felt that this person was still worth promoting, so she transferred him to her courtyard to serve a few peony 'medicines' and 'flowers'.
In fact, Liu Ruo's 'jade' doesn't like 'flowers' and 'flowers' plants, and she doesn't care how to raise a few peony 'medicines', raise them to death, or survive and breathe...... What this 'waiter' really did was to deliver news inside and outside the palace for her - even the house she bought outside the palace was given by Liu Ruo's 'jade'.
Liu Ruo's 'jade' also has no news to be passed on in a veiled way: in addition to inquiring about the movements of Zhang's mother and 'daughter'.
Everyone knows this.
Ju Zhong came in and saluted, knowing that the crown princess didn't love wordy, and after being called, he bluntly said: "...... Tianming came back and said that he was going to stay in Zhuangzi outside the city for one night. But Zhang Ping said that there were no traces of blades of grass on the carriage, and it was clean as if it had never been out of the city at all. Niangniang knew that now was the time when the grass and trees were blooming, and when she went out of the city, no matter which village she went to, there would always be blades of grass growing on the side of the road hitting the wheels and the like, so that they would not be so clean. So Zhang Ping guessed that Liu Ruoye must have another place to go, just hiding it from the master. ”
Knowing that Liu Ruo's 'jade' is extremely disgusted with his half-sister, Ju Zhong and these people want to follow their wishes, and they only say their names when they mention Liu Ruoye's mother's 'daughter'.
Sure enough, Liu Ruo's 'jade' was not angry at all, Ju Zhong directly said Liu Ruoye's maiden name, and said after a moment: "Where can she go?" Can Zhang Ping know? ”
"Zhang Ping slipped out while Liu Ruoye was talking to Zhang Shaoguang and reported a letter and went to serve again, she said that Liu Ruoye had been to the Wei Mansion several times before, and I don't know if it had anything to do with Miss Wei Qi." Ju Zhong said, "The Wei Mansion has always refused to see Liu Ruoye under the pretext that their Seventh Miss is not in good health. However, another young lady who is 'friendly' with Miss Wei Jiaqi, Miss Min, seems to be unrestricted and has been in and out a few times. For this, Liu Ruoye's hundred 'flowers' who served in front of him also scolded the Wei family 'in private' for not knowing what to do, that Miss Min was just the 'daughter' of the family and the grandson 'daughter' of the Duanmu family, and the Wei family welcomed her in to entertain her, but locked Liu Ruoye outside. ”
Liu Ruo's 'jade' sneered when he heard this, and said, "The Wei family can be regarded as having a brain that knows how to avoid this calamity?" What a pity! Even Duanmu's family took a 'sex' life, but her 'daughter' was still so confused! Since Liu Ruoye didn't go back until the night, he must have gone to Weifu the day before, and used the method of hiding people's eyes and ears to see Wei Changjuan, and coaxed Wei Changjuan to stay for the night! ”
Shen groaned for a moment and said, "If you are staying overnight in the Wei Mansion, even if Wei Changjuan takes her in and covers her, it will be extremely risky. After all, the rest of the Wei family may not be as confused and coaxing as Wei Changjuan, if it is discovered, Liu Ruoye will definitely not be able to step down! It's not a matter of urgency, Liu Ruoye will definitely not take this risk! But what the hell is she trying to do? ”
Ju Zhong said cautiously: "Niangniang, the slave is speculating whether it has anything to do with Liu Ruowo?" ”
"Their mother and daughter, they are counting on Liu Ruowo to replace the sixteen brothers." Liu Ruo's 'jade' eyelashes and 'hair' drooped, and said, "It stands to reason that there will be some relationship, but ...... What exactly is to be done? ”
Ju Zhongke didn't dare or could not answer this question, the hall was silent for a while, Liu Ruo's 'jade' bit his 'lip' and thought: "It is said that Wei Changjuan is young and ignorant, and there are really not many things that can be done. She is the 'daughter' of the Wei family, and she hates the people of Fengzhou and Wei Changying, if Liu Ruoye wants to provoke her to harm these people...... But these two sides are not stupid, where can she be close? If she wants to deal with the people next to her, Wei Changjuan can really not play a big role? However, Liu Ruoye has spent so many years of hard work to 'befriend' with this Wei Changjuan, so she naturally has a fancy for her...... What is it? ”
Just thinking about it, the 'door' of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the prince Shenxun was wearing crimson silk 'trousers', and his upper body was 'naked'. Dew, loosely draped in an apricot 'color' and 'spring' shirt and walked in. He seemed to be playing too much with his concubine in the main hall just now, but now the golden crown is half crooked, his handsome face is 'tide' and red, and there are a few extremely obvious rouge marks on his face.
With such a charming 'lewdness' and a sloppy atmosphere, he casually and with a little banter looked at Ju Zhong and the other palace people at him in a little panic, and was stunned for a moment before he bowed down in fear.
Seeing that Liu Ruo's 'jade' was also a little unnatural and got up to greet him, Shen Xun looked at Ju Zhong, who was standing several steps away in front of her, sneered, and waved his hand to tell the palace people to retreat. When there were only two people in the dormitory, Shen Xun 'touched' his chin, looked at Liu Ruo's 'jade' playfully, and said: "Lone still thinks that you mysteriously called the inner 'waiter' to come in, because Lone hasn't come to you for a few days, you can't hold back your loneliness, and find an inner 'waiter' to play some fake phoenix trick to relieve loneliness." But it turned out that there was something else? ”
