Chapter 145: A-Niang
Mrs. Ruan, who was far away in Wuzhou, was in a relationship and didn't know anything about the affairs in Beijing, but she was still living a harmonious life with Cheng Xingqiu.
If you want to say that those letters, they were never sent to Ruan's mansion, and they were intercepted by the people of the Cheng family halfway.
The eunuch received the new emperor's edict and passed the words word by word.
Madame Ruan's heart tightened, and her hand loosened, and the half-beaten rope fell to the ground. She repeatedly confirmed, "My lord is not looking for the wrong place, my daughter married the champion of the Cheng family early, how can it be-"
How can it be connected to today.
The eunuch said respectfully, "There can be no mistake. It was Ruan's daughter, Nguyen Ngoc Yi. ”
After that, Madame Ruan packed up a little, took the boat sent by the palace, and went north by water, although she was suspicious in her heart, she did not dare to delay.
The boat is on the inner shore, the pedestrians on the shore are prosperous, the withered willows are raising their branches, and the cold wind is bleak. Mrs. Ruan abandoned the boat and got into the car, but she did not go directly to the palace, but contacted the palace people who accompanied her and went to Chengfu instead.
She didn't know what was going on, and after a little inquiry with the people who accompanied her, she realized that there were still many twists and turns.
Her Ruan Mansion is not as good as before, but she handed over her daughter to the Cheng family, and she didn't let them bully her like this.
Luo Mei Xuan.
Ruan Yuyi thought in her heart that she could see A-Niang today, and woke up early and couldn't sleep again. So he simply called Mu Xiang in to serve and freshen up.
The eyebrow drawing and grease have been completed, and Mu Xiang took various hairpins and compared them to her hair.
I don't know if it's because the harem is not prosperous, and the hairpin ring at my daughter's home has nowhere to be rewarded, so there is a lot of surplus. Although His Majesty did not have any pity for the young lady on the couch, these objects were not less sent to Luo Meixuan.
She stared at the man in the mirror and whispered, "That's it."
Mu Xiangyin put the gold-inlaid white hosta on her hair, and put on the same pair of heads. She wore a satin pinched pleated skirt and a goose yellow jacket, and her makeup was also beautiful and lovely, not at all like a girl who had left the pavilion.
It is rare for A-Niang to come to Beijing, and I am afraid that the affairs at home are enough for A-Niang to worry about, and she is not good to report her worries again.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Ruan family has great ability, and they can't help her.
The rabbit in her arms shrugged her ears twice, jumped off her knees, and nestled into her own little mattress. It curled up in a ball, and its dark eyes were gone, and the rest of its body was as white as a ball of hair.
The wood spirit came in and added some food to it, "Every day it is either on the lap of the little master, or sleeps in this mattress, and it does not move, and there will always be a day when it is too fat to walk." ”
She muttered for a while, got up and said, "The lady of the Ruan family is coming today?" The slave and maid have never seen it. ”
Ruan Yuyi was so happy that someone talked to her about A-Niang, and the corners of her lips smiled, "You'll know when you see it." ”
As he was talking, someone from the palace came to pay respects, saying that Mrs. Ruan was already waiting outside. She hurried out.
I saw the figure under the rock from afar, but I was scared again. I haven't seen her in the past two years, although A-Niang's clothes have changed, but the description is still the same as in her memory, and it is still a little unreal in a trance.
Mrs. Ruan's willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and thick and slender body, although she is old, it is not difficult to see the charm of her youth.
When saying goodbye to Ah Niang, her words flashed back in Ruan Yuyi's ears.
A-Niang once said that if you want to get along with your husband, you can't be a child. To take care of your body, whether you are happy or worried, you can send a letter to your family in Wuzhou for half a month.
But A-Niang, she couldn't do half a sentence. Not to mention that she has been sick several times these days.
In the past, she was obsessed with the bad news of the eldest son of the Cheng family, and she didn't think about sending a letter to her family, but even if she went to the letter, she didn't hear back for a long time.
She unconsciously burst into tears and stepped down step by step. The beads on his hair shook slightly, and tears slipped down his eyes.
She picked up Mrs. Ruan, who saluted her, opened her lips, and only spoke out after a while, "A-Niang-"
After all the etiquette, the two were able to get along as mother and daughter.
Mrs. Ruan was also very worried about her, and she responded continuously, she took Ruan Yuyi's soft and boneless hand, and looked her up and down, "We are getting more and more beautiful." ”
She was about to say something, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the red mark on Ruan Yuyi's neck, and her voice froze.
Her skin is already fair, and this trace is like red plum falling snow, which is really eye-catching.
She didn't know that Madame Nguyen had noticed this. Everything that had been planned before was completely overturned when she really saw that A-Niang was overturned, she couldn't pretend to be strong, she only felt very wronged, choked up and couldn't say a word, and cried to herself.
Only in front of Mrs. Ruan did she let go of her guard and relaxed.
Mu Xiang on the side was moved, and greeted, "It's cold outside, why don't you go into the house and talk about it." ”
Mrs. Ruan naturally recognized Mu Xiang, and smiled in response.
As soon as the northern country entered winter, it was cold quickly, and the new emperor thought that she was afraid of the cold, so he sent someone silver bone charcoal early. Ruan Yuyi thought that this was just the beginning of winter, and it was used a lot at this time, and the back was not freezing.
So there was only a little burning in the house, but the heat was much warmer than outside.
Mu Ling had already prepared tea and snacks and presented a few cases.
She quietly glanced at Mrs. Ruan, and said secretly, this lady's demeanor between actions was gentle, like moving lotus steps, and it was really nine points similar to Miss.
Mrs. Ruan looked around and said softly, "It seems that I have intentions for Nannan today, so I feel more at ease." "It is said that the wife of a criminal minister cannot step into the palace gate, and now she can make an exception and nod, which is already the emperor's grace, which shows his special treatment of her.
In addition, the room here is exquisite, and the furnishings and ornaments are complete, which is a little more luxurious than the Ruan Mansion in its heyday, such as the Lin Palace.
Ruan Yuyi personally poured tea for her, and when she heard the words, she said, "These are the regulations in the palace, and there is no shortage of them in all palaces." Now that mother and daughter are together, she doesn't want to talk about him.
She picked up the conversation, "A-Niang went all the way north, how is it at home?" ”
"Don't worry, it's all right." Mrs. Ruan lowered her eyes, but all the men in the family were gone, and she was barely alive with the only aunt left behind, and a maid and mother-in-law.
Thanks to the help of Mrs. Ruan's mother's family, plus some of the remaining money in the house, the livelihood of the house can still be supported.
Talking casually, it is inevitable to talk about things with the Cheng family.
In this matter, Mrs. Ruan felt ashamed, thinking that she was pushing her daughter into the fire pit, "I knew this was the case, it would be better to keep the girl in the house all the time." ”
I thought I had found a good family for her, and the little lady who grew up with gold and jade in her mouth couldn't bear to let her get used to such a hard life. I don't want to, but I look at the wrong person.
Whether it is resentment or joy, Ruan Yuyi has actually forgotten it for a long time, and the matter with the Cheng family seems to be far away in the previous life, "A-Niang is used to coaxing people, whose girl will always stay in the boudoir." ”
One more person, one more mouth, one more use.
She didn't want to burden the Nguyen Mansion.
