Resourceful beauty

Chapter 177 Xia Yu
"The old man often said that those who are content are always happy. This is what Lanxi is like today."

As it was getting dark, the carriage galloped towards the city. In the carriage, Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian were chatting one after another, but when they opened their mouths, they were all about the three of Mu Mian.

Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile, "She deserves all of this."

When Xu married Qiu's mansion, why didn't Lanxi wash her face with tears?At that time, if you were blind from crying, you didn't have to marry, I'm afraid she wouldn't hesitate at all, right?
During the days when she first joined the Qiu Mansion, Fang Ruxuan knew what kind of life Lanxi lived without even thinking about it, because she had experienced it before.

Although those few ruthless old nuns did not dare to treat Lan Xi like Fang Ruxuan in the previous life, they certainly did not hesitate to greet Lan Xi with their hands.The maid who usually followed Qiu Ming said so many ugly things, Lan Xi pretended to turn a deaf ear on the surface, but in the dead of night, he might have already burst into tears.

There are also those who hide in the dark and stare at her, thinking she is a spy sent by Prince Qi's mansion.

In short, in the first days, Lanxi must have been as difficult as living in a magic cave.

Fortunately, she survived.

Shou Deyun Kai see Yueming.

Until Qiu Ming fell in love with her, until she attracted Mrs. Qiu's attention, and then until she became the only hostess of Wutong Garden, Lanxi climbed step by step to the highest position she could reach in Qiu's mansion. Finally, those Those who bullied her and humiliated her didn't dare to move their hands again, and they didn't dare to say a bad word in front of her.

To this day, she is finally able to be her own master, and her fate is no longer in anyone's hands.

"Good people will be rewarded in the end. This feeling is quite good."

Kapok stretched happily.

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help thinking of Lan Zhi.

Lan Xi and Lan Zhi have served Fang Ruyu since they were young. One of them is delicate and the other is calm. They are Fang Ruyu's right-hand men.

But it was such a person, when it came to an emergency, Fang Ruyu gave up one of them without hesitation.

After that, Lan Xi married to the Qiu Mansion, and Lan Zhi followed Fang Ruyu to the Furong Weng Lord's Mansion.

It seems that Lan Xi is not even a little bit worse than Lan Zhi, but what about the reality?

Today's Lanxi is the mistress of the farm who can be her own master, and Lan Zhi, it is said that Liu Yu blamed Fang Ruyu's suicide on the poor service of those around her. If you don't like it, you will beat and scold to discourage you.

The fate of people and people is indeed 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Back at Shu Yuxuan, I heard Ding Xiang say that King Qi was looking for her, Fang Ruxuan finished changing clothes and went to Shanshuiju.

"Has Chu Yuan written you a letter?"

King Qi asked straight to the point.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, and said honestly: "Since he left, he hasn't said a single word to me. Daddy, what's the matter?"

King Qi hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to hide Fang Ruxuan, "Last month, Yao Kingdom was in turmoil, but it was still orderly. If you want to inquire about any news, you can also inquire about it. But these days, it seems that the gates of the major cities are It's blocked, and the news can't be passed in, let alone the situation inside, and it can't be made out at all, so I'm afraid that I won't let him entrust him that day."

"What did he entrust daddy with?"

Fang Ruxuan never knew what consensus was reached between Chu Yuan and King Qi.

"Chu Yuan has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, all of which he secretly trained over the years. It was not easy to take them back last time. He said, once he sends someone to bring me a letter, let me send the [-] elite soldiers from the Northwest Camp. He was transferred out and brought back to Yao Kingdom by Chu Dong beside him."

Said in a deep voice, King Qi stroked his chin and said: "That day it was said that it would be about half a year, but now it has been more than half a year, and the situation in Yao Country is like this. I am afraid that he is waiting for the employment, and I will accept him again." There is no news, so the big event was delayed."

Fang Ruxuan nodded and pondered.

5000 people, once Chu Yuan wins the throne, it will actually be useless.

But since they are elite soldiers and they have been solemnly handed over to King Qi, it means that for Chu Yuan, this is his hole card. Then, the 5000 people cannot be simply judged by the number of people. .

In the past, there were more than 500 hidden guards around the late emperor, and it is said that all of them were masters of ten. When the late emperor went out, although ordinary people could not see them, those people followed him like a shadow. The dark guards are quite dependent and quite proud.

These 5000 people may be Chu Yuan's secret guards.

"What does daddy think?"

Fang Ruxuan raised her head and asked King Qi.

King Qi shook his head in embarrassment, "Accordingly, since we have a gentleman's agreement, I should wait for his orders. However, everything is in a hurry. So, now I can't make up my mind."

Fang Ruxuan murmured as if talking to herself, "I don't know what's going on in Yao Kingdom."

The father and daughter were worried, but in the end, Fang Ruxuan calmed down and said, "I'll send someone to find Chu Dong and ask him for his opinion. He has been with Chu Dong for so long, so maybe he can guess what Chu Yuan meant." Not necessarily."

They sent kapok to look for Chu Dong, within half an hour, Chu Dong came quickly.

Hearing King Qi's words, Chu Dong immediately knelt down and begged for orders, "I hope that I can bring my troops back to Yao Kingdom as soon as possible to save my son from danger."

The reason is that there is no more to say.

King Qi pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in response.

Before leaving, Chu Dong kowtowed to Fang Ruxuan three times without saying anything, got up and left quickly.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, King Qi set off for the northwest camp.

When Fang Ruxuan found out, she chased outside the gate, only the figure of Concubine Shen staring up at her was left. Returning to Shuyuxuan in a depressed mood, she saw Kapok practicing boxing in the yard.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan coming in, Kapok stopped her movements, and asked Fang Ruxuan with a smile, "Miss, didn't you prepare anything for Mr. Chu?"

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, tightened her sleeves, and went back to the inner room.

A small wooden box the size of a palm, inside the box is a wooden sign for safety that Fang Ruxuan obtained when she and her mother went to the temple to offer incense when she was a child. You have to read the Buddhist scriptures before this piece of peace.

In the end, it still couldn't be sent out.

Fang Ruxuan felt a little lost in her heart.

The people sent from Zhuangzi left, Chu Dong also set off with Chu Yuan's five thousand elite soldiers, almost all the people related to Chu Yuan around Fang Ruxuan disappeared.

As for Yao Country, there was no news at all. Gradually, Fang Ruxuan felt a little restless.

Like, something big is going to happen.

That night, the air was extremely hot and stuffy. Fang Ruxuan went out of the house in a jacket and sat under the veranda to breathe, but there was no wind at all.

The night sky is foggy, with tens of millions of layers of mist covering the stars and the moon, making people feel like a curtain is covering the heart, heavy and depressing.

Taking a few deep breaths, Fang Ruxuan got up and was about to go back to the house. At this moment, a thunderstorm came from the sky, which instantly illuminated the sky and the earth.

Fang Ruxuan turned her head and stopped, almost instantly, the torrential rain was pouring, and the wind suddenly picked up.

It was as if someone had cut a big hole in the sky, and the rain poured down. After a while, the yard was full of water. Seeing that the rain was about to be blown into the house by the wind, Ding Xiang and Su Ye were still in a daze when they went out. Fang Ruxuan pulled in.

A good night's dream.

It seems that the sweltering heat of a summer has been relieved after this rainy night. When I wake up in the morning, the air is filled with the fragrance of soil, and I can vaguely smell the fragrance of lotus in the lotus pond in the backyard.

Wearing wooden clogs and going to Qingfengzhai, I learned that when there was a thunderstorm last night, Chen Mei caught a cold from the wind.

Leaning lazily on the soft pillow and talking to Fang Ruxuan, Chen Mei stroked her stomach and said proudly: "I was so scared of the terrible thunder last night, but this kid is a bold one, playing hide-and-seek with your brother , It’s fun to play.”

Fang Ruxuan put her hand on Chen Mei's belly. Sure enough, after a while, she felt the little guy's movement. She didn't know whether it was stretching her arms or kicking her legs. It was very vigorous.

The aunt and sister-in-law talked for a while, and then Ningxue brought the medicine. Chen Mei held her nose, drank the medicine vigorously, and swallowed a plum.

After June, it was Qixi Festival. Chen Mei wanted to make the servants in the mansion lively, so she discussed with Concubine Shen and held a begging competition in the courtyard of Nuanxiang Hall.

That night, the maids in the mansion competed in groups of seven to thread needles. In the end, it was a little maid beside Fang Rulan who came out on top, which surprised everyone.

Those who ranked first got the rewards according to Chen Mei's order early in the morning, and those who didn't get the rewards also had a handful of melon seeds and candies to eat, and then they were happy.

The little maids went to the grape trellis to listen to the whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Fang Ruxuan helped Chen Mei to go to Qingfengzhai. After walking a few steps, a little maid came timidly and knelt down on Chen Mei At the foot, "Shi Zifei, Miss Wu said that she knew she was wrong. She is willing to marry and is not willing to be locked in the house anymore. I beg you, my lord, to let her out."

Chen Mei glanced at the little maid, "Which courtyard are you from?"

Seemingly a little afraid, afraid that Fang Ruhui would be implicated, the little maid knelt there, shrinking back and daring not to answer.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "The servant is in charge of sweeping the backyard."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Chen Mei continued to ask.

The little maid shook her head, then shook her head, "Last year, my maid was sick and my maid was crying secretly in the back garden. The Fifth Miss saw her and rewarded her with a hairpin, and let her use it as a hairpin to see her sick."

Chen Mei smiled and glanced at Fang Ruxuan, "I didn't realize that she also had a day of kindness."

"She is not bad at heart, but she is a little willful. After being locked up for so many days, I think about it and understand."

Fang Ruxuan sighed softly.

Chen Mei turned her head to look at the little girl and said, "Just say that I agree, but as for whether the prince will agree or not, I can't guarantee it."

After all, the group of people left Shi Shiran, the little maid was stunned for a long time, kowtowed to the moon on the spot, got up and ran away.
