Chapter 15 Separate Idiots
"Cousin Ruan, what the ......hell is this" Ning Shaobi tried his best to suggest that he sit here, in order to justifiably not return to the seats of the rest of the Zhuo family, and secondly, because there were people here who couldn't afford to provoke him, and it was expected that no one would dare to disturb him without eyes. Although this is true, but I don't dare to come forward to talk about long and short, but it is impossible to have no discussions in 'private', halfway through the banquet, Wen Bai covered his sleeves, and through the cover of the sound of silk and bamboo beside him, he approached Ruan Yunshu and said softly, "I heard what my cousin meant......
Ruan Yunshu put down the wine bottle, made a silent gesture, and said calmly: "Mother has not clearly mentioned this matter to me, and it is not true to chase the wind and shadows, cousin, please be careful." β
Although Wen Bai's 'sexual' personality is out of bounds, he is not a person without measure, but he just watched Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie next to him as if no one was there sweetly, and he really didn't like it in his heart, so he lowered his voice and said: "Although my cousin didn't say it explicitly, ...... In the past two years, the official media of Chang'an is afraid that the 'door' threshold of Ruan's Mansion has been broken, and my cousin has never let go, and she has never commented on anyone's lady, and she has never mentioned which little lady you are close to, and as soon as Zhuo Qiniang returned to Chang'an, her cousin asked you to accompany her to the garden to see the peony 'flower' - as a result, she ...... when she met the prince."
The Wen Mansion and the Ruan Mansion live next to each other, and the two families are relatives, so they don't even have to go to the big 'gate', of course, the affairs of the Ruan family can't be hidden from the Wen family, and Zhuo Fanghua proposed for the first time to ask Ruan Yunshu to accompany the young unmarried 'daughter' guest to fulfill the responsibility of the master, and also invite the niece 'daughter' to live in a small place - can the elders of the Wen family still not see the intention of this?
Originally, the Ruan family had a simple population, Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua had a deep relationship with each other, and would rather succeed than take concubines, which was envied by everyone, Ruan Yunshu was the only heir, and his wife not only had trivial things between concubines, but with Ruan Yun's death, even the eldest aunt and sister-in-law did not have to deal with it, Zhuo Fanghua was also a well-known heavy rule in Chang'an, and would never deliberately harsh his daughter-in-law, the two families were still so close, Ruan Yunshu was also equivalent to the Wen family who grew up, and his conduct was clear.
There are several young ladies of the Wen family who are similar in age to Ruan Yunshu, and naturally they also have the intention of kissing and kissing, but Ruan Zhi did not object, but was stopped by Zhuo Fanghua, Zhuo Fanghua said it nicely, why Ruan Yunshu is still young now, and he wants to study wholeheartedly, and said that he is not famous now, and he is too lazy to marry a wife......
Before, the Wen family was suspicious, but now it seems that this Zhuo Fanghua is simply in order to 'fat' water not to flow into the fields of outsiders, and has made up her mind to leave her adopted son with her niece and nephew!
Wen Bai naturally wanted to be angry for his sisters......
Especially Wen Tanrong, rain or shine, accompanied Zhuo Fanghua for two years, Zhuo Fanghua claimed to love her as her own 'daughter' - it can't be said that Zhuo Fanghua is not good to Wen Tanrong, but he didn't mention half of the family affairs, and now as soon as this Zhuo Qiniang arrived, he saw each other, and Zhuo Fanghua immediately let his adopted son accompany him, and the relatives near and far were clear at a glance.
But Wen Bai said this, Ruan Yunshu didn't feel indignant, he was a kind teenager, because his parents went early when he was young, his brother and sister-in-law disliked, and he suffered a lot of hardships under the fence, Ruan Zhi had no children under his knees, revealing that he didn't want to take a concubine and "wanted" to pass from the clan. Female', both of them are bequeathed by their elders, not to mention the family property, Ruan Zhiguan worships the imperial history - the Ruan family is not a very prominent family in Chang'an, Ruan Zhi is already the highest official - such an opportunity for the clansmen to be jealous, but Zhuo Fanghua picked Ruan Yunshu, who was in a poor situation and was called by his brother and sister-in-law.
is because Ruan Yunshu has always been filial to his adoptive parents, not to mention the marriage event, the parents should have been in charge, Zhuo Fanghua said that he was still young, and he would discuss marriage in two years, then it would be two years, and it would be just one thing sooner or later; Zhuo Fanghua did not mention marrying the Wen family, and when she saw the ladies of the Wen family, Ruan Yunshu politely kept her distance, and finally refused to cause any gossip; Zhuo Fanghua asked herself to entertain Zhuo Qi Niangzi, and Ruan Yunshu entertained her well......
Ruan Yunshu knows very well in his heart that everyone praises him for his intelligence and good reading, not to mention that these praises are given to the sons of Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua, without this identity, how many people don't even bother to look at him? If he hadn't been adopted, how could his brother and sister-in-law let him study? What about exceptional talent? Are there few geniuses buried silently in the countryside?
It's not that no one reminded him 'in private' that the reason why Zhuo Fanghua chose him was just to see that his parents died and he was bullied by his brother and sister-in-law, and thought that such a person could be more intimate with her - but Ruan Yunshu has his own account in his heart, shouldn't he think about such a major event as a stepheir? What's more, his adoptive mother is kind to him, that is an undoubted thing.
The seven ladies of the Zhuo family are out-and-out beauties...... It's just that Ruan Yunshu was a little bit 'colorful' in his own self-esteem when he was a child, and he disciplined his brother obediently, so he changed his way to treat his sister-in-law badly and suffered a lot, plus his adoptive mother Zhuo Fanghua, who was full of emotion, was only beautiful if he praised it from his heart-so although he was young, he was not as good as most Lang Jun of this age, and he didn't pay much attention to the appearance of his future wife.
It's just that in this prosperous and prosperous Chang'an, the little ladies who grew up in the splendid pile, the delicate and lively people abound, and the beauty is amazing, but there are very few people who are as bold and decisive as Zhuo Fanghua......
Ruan Yunshu would not hate all beautiful 'women' because of what happened when he was a child, but for the cousin of the Zhuo family who looked like a 'spring', 'flower' and 'gorgeous' crown not far away, he really couldn't talk about love at first sight or pity her because of her beauty.
But he knew that his adoptive mother Zhuo Fanghua liked this niece and daughter from the bottom of her heart, not only because of her flesh and blood, but also because Zhuo Zhaojie resembled her grandmother, and now seeing her close to the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, Ruan Yunshu had no jealousy in her heart, only a little worried: "Ning Shizi has always had a bad reputation in Chang'an, although I don't have much contact with him, and the rumors may not be true, but this person is spoiled by the eldest princess of Jiyang, and it is a fact that she is arrogant, Zhuo's cousin is young and beautiful, Ning Shizi is not tempted by her beauty, is willing to press the 'sex' to please, if you treat Cousin Zhuo badly in the long run, won't it make Cousin Zhuo sad? At that time...... Mother must have been troubled as well. β
He thought for a moment, and beckoned to the little servant Ruan Xing, "You go and find out where Zhuo Jiahachilang is today, and tell him quietly about the things here." β
Ruan Xing willingly left.
Ruan Yunshu did this all out of filial piety to his mother, and didn't want to make Zhuo Fanghua sad, but in Wen Bai's eyes, it was naturally his unwillingness to go out of the wall face to face with his beautiful cousin who had almost been set as his wife.
And whoever chooses, between Ning Shaobi and Ruan Yunshu, as long as they are not wholeheartedly wealthy people, Ruan Yunshu is always more reliable.
If Zhuo Fanghua knew about this matter, with her as a person, she would definitely personally order the Zhuo family to control the four rooms of the Zhuo family......
Wen Bai thought to himself, there will be Zhuo Fanghua's 'intervention' hand next, and it is expected that after this 'spring' banquet, it will be difficult for Zhuo Xiaoqiniang to see Ning Shizi again.
Of course, sparing no effort to hug Ruan Yunshu and rashly 'intervene' into the relationship between Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie is definitely not just for Ruan Yunshu's cousin.
ββWen Bai looked back at her sister Wen Tanrong's seat, but saw Wen Tanrong, who was still holding the Ning family's ten ladies and whispering, and didn't know when she had stopped talking with Ning Shi Niang, she sat quietly on the seat, holding an agarwood drink that was originally full of incense in her hand, and had unconsciously sprinkled some sleeves and skirts, but she didn't realize it, and only looked at Ning Shaobi in the distanceββ
Looking along Wen Tanrong's line of sight, the eternal brocade robe and gorgeous service 'servant' like a cloud of the prince is now all gone, the arrogance and arrogance that Chang'an is familiar with, he leaned over the seat for Zhuo Xiaoqi Niang to pick up the spines in the sweet and sour carp The patience and carefulness that he was all about, I was afraid that he was still above Wen Tanrong, so he would be unaware of Wen Tanrong's behavior......
Wen Bai sighed in his heart, and was about to remind Wen Tanrong, but he saw that Ning Shaobi picked the thorns, picked up the fish 'meat', carefully dipped it in the dipping sauce of the small plate next to him, and put it into the small bowl in front of Zhuo Zhaojie.
At this time, Ning Shaobi rolled up her sleeves, poured a Jiang Gui drink for her with her own hands, and whispered a few words, she saw Zhuo Zhaojie shake her head, looking at Jiang Gui drinking 'exposed' a little disgusted, Ning Shaobi immediately smiled and splashed Jiang Gui drink on the back of the 'flower' bush, and poured Fu Fang drink with a new utensil, Zhuo Zhaojie took it after swallowing the fish 'meat', she enjoyed Ning Shaobi's attentive service like this, but after taking it, she smiled at him, Ning Shaobi was already willing and even flattered......
From beginning to end, whether it was Zhuo Zhaojie, who was taken care of by Ning Shaobi and seemingly careless, or Ning Shaobi, who was stared at intently by Wen Tanrong, they didn't find the sight of the Wen family brothers and sisters, and this grand 'spring' banquet seemed to them as if no one else existed.
Wen Bai's eyes were heavy, patted his sister, Wen Tanrong shook his hand, poured most of the agarwood drink on himself, and then slowly woke up, looked down at the skirt, and said softly: "Fourth brother, I'll go and change clothes." β
"You saw it too." Wen Bai motioned for her to stay for a moment, and said softly, "I regret what I said to Cousin Ruan just now...... Fate can't be forced, not to mention, he is not the best person...... You don't have to be him. β
Seeing that Wen Tanrong was silent, Wen Bai knew that she was unwilling to give up, he sighed in his heart, but he had to continue, "I'm afraid that the eldest princess of Jiyang has never enjoyed his hospitality, he really likes that Zhuo Xiaoqi Niang, Liu Niang, don't make a mistake." β
Wen Tanrong lowered his eyes, and said imperceptibly for a while: "I know." β
Wen Bai turned to the maid behind her and said softly: "It's good to serve the lady - why didn't the lady know to remind her if she accidentally stained her dress?" β
The 'woman' trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to distinguish when she reminded her, and she was swept away by Wen Tanrong's usual cold gaze, and she didn't dare to say more, and said in a low voice: "The maid knows that she is wrong!" β
