Chapter 66: Red Stains
The next day, Ruan Yuyi was sleeping in a daze, and was awakened by Mu Xiang, she asked Mu Xiang to pull a hand, and then she barely sat up.
"Miss, sit sober, I have to go and say hello to my wife today." Mu Xiang whispered beside her.
She answered, and suddenly felt a slight itch on the side of her neck, so she scratched it twice with her fingernails. In fact, if you talk about it, this red envelope was available after returning from the temple, and when I walked through the banyan tree, I don't know what mosquito bitten it.
Her skin is delicate, very easy to get red marks, and she unconsciously scratches it at night, and now there is already a small crimson dot, and at a glance, there is even a little ambiguous meaning.
When Mu Xiang was grooming the young lady, she also noticed it, so she took an anti-itching medicine and gave her a little.
I was going to Cheng Zhu's place, but on the way, I found that there were three or three small houses carrying a lot of paulownia wood boxes to the west chamber, and the boxes were covered with a big red silk cloth.
Ruan Yuyi was suddenly in a trance, remembering that when she first entered the Cheng Mansion, her dowry was also decorated and carried in like this. It's just that after all, things are wrong.
It is still a custom in her hometown to make boxes with paulownia wood. Somehow, it came to the capital.
After the birth of the daughter, the family will choose a good place on the mountain, plant a paulownia tree, and the tree will grow up with the people, and when the daughter is about to get married, they will cut down the paulownia and find the best craftsman in the town to give the dowry for the daughter to be married.
Because when she was a child, when she heard the sound of suona gongs and drums outside, she knew that the bride of which family had passed by, so she always liked to run out, hide behind the door and watch quietly, and sometimes she could receive colorful peanuts or caramel thrown in the family sending procession.
It would make her rejoice all day.
Paulownia has seen so much that she can recognize it at a glance.
Ruan Yuyi withdrew her eyes and entered Cheng Zhu's courtyard. Cheng Zhu and Zhao Rongzheng had a heated discussion one by one, and after listening to a few words, she recognized that they were roughly talking about the wedding banquet.
She knew it would be her after the wedding feast. The days left for her passed day by day, but she didn't see much progress on the side of the prince, and it would be a lie to say that she was not panicking.
When she passed Aunt Mei, she smiled slightly at Ruan Yuyi, and Ruan Yuyi collected her thoughts and curled the corners of her lips at her.
As if realizing that Ruan Yuyi had arrived, Cheng Zhu let her sit down. She straightened the hem of her skirt, and before she could sit down, Cheng Zhushi suddenly stopped her again, and her face was gloomy.
"Sister Yi," Cheng Zhu nodded his neck and said, "What's wrong with your neck?" "There is no one around her, how can there be such traces, and they are still in such a conspicuous position, what does it mean? It shows that she doesn't take her mother-in-law to heart at all.
She knew that Qiu'er had no feelings for Sister Yi'er, but if it was really Qiu'er, her plan to marry Rui'er could only be put on hold for the time being.
Thinking about it like this, her face became more and more difficult to look at.
Zhaorong also stopped talking at this time, and looked at Ruan Yuyi, if there was really a red mark, her heart jumped. But last night she had been with Xingqiu all the time, and after relieving herself, she leaned back in her chair, looking like she was watching a play.
"Yo, this is-" Zhao Rong smiled slightly and said leisurely, "Who was this with my sister yesterday?" Since she knew that it was not Xingqiu, she would be happy to see who Ruan Yuyi was, so that Xingqiu would no longer want her.
After Ruan Yuyi applied the medicine, the itch on her neck disappeared, and when she touched it up, she realized that they were talking about the mosquito bite.
In the first place, Zhaorong and Cheng Zhu both had strange faces, as if she only needed to say one more word, which met their guesses, and she was charged with the crime from then on. Seeing them like this, Ruan Yuyi also knew that the two of them were too careful.
She put down her hand and blessed her body in a regular manner, "Last night, the doors and windows were not closed tightly, and when I woke up, I found that I had been bitten by mosquitoes. Don't worry about my aunt, she has already taken the medicine, and there is no discomfort at this time. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Zhushi was stunned, beckoned her to come forward, and then took a look, the red mark bulged slightly, isn't it just for mosquitoes to bite off. Which Lang Jun can be so powerful, and there is an extra piece of meat coming out in one bite.
Zhaorong also went through the incident, and at this time he also knew that he had confessed the mistake, so he opened his eyes and stopped talking.
Ruan Yuyi's expression was well-behaved, as if she didn't understand their allusions, but it seemed that the two of them were thinking deeply. Cheng Zhushi didn't care about this, so he breathed a sigh of relief and allowed her to sit down.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Cheng Zhu pulled Zhaorong and talked about the topic of Fang Cai, "I am really wronged Your Highness." Recently, the government has been really strapped for money, and if there is a chance in the future, it will definitely be made up. ”
Because the feeds in the house are all in charge of Cheng Zhu's family, although Master Cheng does not talk to her about ordinary officialdom, but it is related to the income and expenditure of Cheng Fu, so he still mentioned it to her.
Master Cheng was derelict in his duties, but fortunately, now he is just deducting money, not saying anything else, no matter how he says, Cheng Zhu is still a little lucky. was afraid that the princess would look down on the Cheng family because of this matter, so she took a look at it and settled down.
She knew that the eldest princess of Zhaorong was really interested in her eldest son.
Zhaorong waved his hand indifferently, "Since I have already said that the shortage of silver money will be paid from the princess's mansion, Madame just needs to settle down." From now on, it will be a family, and there is no need to talk about whether to make up or not. ”
The princess's mansion is still rich, why should she care about such a lot of money, if she really has to care, she is afraid that Xingqiu will suspect that she is not sincere to him.
Cheng Zhushi smiled so much that the folds on his face were piled up in one place, and the powder on his face seemed to be falling down, "Your Highness is really sensible." The Queen Mother is really well taught. ”
Teach well - how can you teach a third prince who killed his father and usurped the throne.
It was an ordinary flattery, but when he heard it, Zhaorong smiled. For the sake of the face of the heavenly family, what her third emperor brother did had never been passed on, and she understood that Mrs. Cheng was unintentional, but she still had a cold face.
She suddenly thought of the new emperor's refusal yesterday, and finally couldn't sit still. She was already acting arbitrarily this time, relying on the fact that the matter of asking for a marriage decree was customary, and there was no explicit provision, so she planned to skip this step.
Thinking about it now, how can she not be angry, so she brushed her sleeves and said, "This palace is a little tired today, so I won't accompany Mrs. With that, she walked away quickly, leaving Cheng Zhu, who had not finished smiling on her face, in her place.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was puzzled by Zhaorong's sudden anger.
Cheng Zhu's face was lost, and it was not good to ask for it from the eldest princess, so he put on a face at Ruan Yuyi and the others in the next place, "Since this is the case, let's do it today." Sister Yi, my aunt knows that you are safe. Don't let anything happen in the next few days. ”
Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, and responded.
