married daughter

Chapter 242 Chapter 256~257 Roast chicken with big nest neck; Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

Finally got to the point.

Ruan Yunting's thoughts turned, what can the third master ask her for help?After thinking about it, I'm afraid I also know about Xu Ningfang's incident.

Sure enough, the third master's tone contained blunt discussions and requests. When he spoke, he had already maximized his patience, and said: "Aunt Cui encouraged Fang'er to do such things. Although there is something wrong with her, after all, there is still something under her knees." There are two sons and one daughter, and the third uncle is also thinking about the child. The child is afraid of suffering if he leaves his biological mother. So Ting'er, see if you can forgive her and let her stay."

When the third master came, he had prepared himself psychologically. He had already decided in his heart that Ruan Yunting had framed Aunt Cui this time, and wanted to frame their third wife, but the old lady had already made a decision on this matter. It's futile to argue too much, so I can only accept this dumb loss for the time being, give in and show weakness, and keep Aunt Cui anyway.As for Ruan Yunting's account, is he afraid that the third master of the Xu family will not have the opportunity to report it?
Ruan Yunting didn't know much about her father in her previous life, so she did the math, and the meeting in those years was just a coincidence at the banquet in the New Year's mansion and when she was greeting the old lady. The third master never cared about his daughter. I only occasionally ask about my sons' homework.However, the third master has a pedantic personality and holds on to the arrogance of a scholar. Today, he can condescend to come forward and say these not-so-soft words, which is already commendable.

But Ruan Yunting is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, she asked herself if she could do something that would harm herself and benefit others, she was as clear as a mirror, Xu Ningfang was responsible for all this, Aunt Cui just spoke back because she felt sorry for her daughter.Xu Ningfang first wrote an anonymous letter to sow discord between her and Deming, but on the surface she pretended to be sisterly and friendly to others. The old lady pretended to be a good person in front of her.

Just imagine, if the person who drew the erotic pictures was not a friend of Deming, what would happen to her now?

The other party has already done everything, why should she wrong herself?Besides, the conflict has been brought about, even if she becomes a good person, people like Xu Ningfang and Aunt Cui will never appreciate it, and the relationship with the third wife, which was originally tense, will become even more tense.

Although she was surprised that the third master was willing to demote her status and get involved in the family struggle, Ruan Yunting still refused to give in.

"Third Uncle." Ruan Yunting smiled gracefully and said softly, "I understand what you said. That day in front of my ancestors, I also pleaded with Twelve Girls and Aunt Cui to save them from being sent to the court. It can be done. It's just that the old ancestor meant that you and I can control it? Ting'er really doesn't know what to do to make Aunt Cui stay. I certainly hope that the third uncle's back house will be peaceful, so that you can worry about the previous government affairs at ease , but my ability is limited after all. This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Third Uncle."

The third master was full of confidence at first, and he thought to himself that he would open his mouth. With his status, Ruan Yunting should give him some face no matter what.Who would have thought that someone would politely refuse? !
What a ignorant person!Originally it was she who planned to harm his concubine and daughter, but now she came to act like a good person who could not help.Does he know nothing about the affairs of the mansion?

The third master's smile turned gloomy and cold, and said word by word: "You really don't want to help?!"

Ruan Yunting shook her head secretly, so annoyed?With such a high level of emotions, it's no wonder that he has been a secretary for many years and still has no promotion. He has no knowledge, but he can't manage complicated interpersonal relationships, and he thinks highly of himself. Such a person can do nothing as a secretary. It's God's care.

"I'm sorry, third uncle, it's not that I don't help, but that I can't help." Ruan Yunting still smiled and said, "You think highly of Ting'er."

"I think highly of you!" The third master stood up and scolded angrily: "When your mother was in her boudoir, although she often had some unusual remarks and ideas, she was kind-hearted, friendly to sisters, and filial to her parents. I didn't expect you This generation is so vicious! I, the Xu family, kindly took you in, and instead of trying to repay, you stir up trouble! It was a waste of my hopes for you!"

Turn your face so quickly?
Ruan Yunting sighed and shook her head, stood up, and continued tea for the third master with a smile like a flower: "Third uncle calm down."

As the saying goes, if you don't raise your hand to hit someone with a smiling face, the third master will have a fit when he sees her smiling face, and he calms down a little. He snorts coldly, sits down on the armchair, and takes a sip from the teacup.

Who knows that Ruan Yunting continued: "Under the third uncle's anger, it is inevitable that the innocent will be implicated. The person who stirs up the right and wrong is the twelve girls. Where is it? You come to ask me for help, but I can't help you. Annoyed."

"Pfft...cough cough cough!!" The third master couldn't swallow a sip of tea, coughed, blushed and stared at Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting hurriedly told Hongdou and Chanjuan: "Don't help the third master to be smooth."

Hongdou and Chanjuan are about to take orders to go forward.

The third master was very angry. He wanted to get angry, but because of his status as an elder and a scholar, he wanted to reprimand him, but Ruan Yunting was not angry, and what he said was wrong, making him unable to refute.

How can a harmless person be so righteous?

"You really don't want to help?"

"It's not that Ting'er won't help, as I said just now, there's nothing she can do to help."

"Okay. If that's the case, let's do it!" The third master stood up, flicked his sleeves and strode away.

The room was quiet again, Ruan Yunting was still sitting on the armchair drinking tea, Hongdou and Chanjuan looked at each other and said worriedly: "Girl, didn't you offend the third master?"

"Then what should I do? Go and intercede for Twelve Girls and Aunt Cui?" Ruan Yunting's eyes were bright and watery.

Hongdou and Chanjuan looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

Ruan Yunting sighed softly, put her bare hands on her forehead, closed her eyes slightly, and said: "Even if I go, the third master will not be grateful, the twelve girls and Aunt Cui will not be grateful, and the third wife will hate me even more, Mr. Now my wife is sure that I am the victim, and I have been a good person. If I intercede, maybe her old man will have other ideas and feel that I am guilty. Now I have too many lice and I am not afraid of being bitten, and it doesn’t matter if I have multiple third masters. Besides blindly wronging myself, they only think I'm easy to bully, won't it be even worse next time?"

Speaking of this, he looked up at the two maidservants and said: "To put it bluntly, the old lady is here for a day, and the Xu family tolerates me for a day, and the old lady is gone. I am afraid that the Xu family and I will really cut off our thoughts. You still count on me How much affection can my uncle and aunt have for me? It’s not like you haven’t seen before when they were in danger and they rushed me and Brother Lan out. Now as long as the old lady’s heart is towards me, other things can be passed without harm. As for those As a special case, let them go, and the soldiers will cover up the water and soil."

"Young lady sees it clearly, it's because this servant thinks things are simple." Chanjuan said: "This servant originally thought that the third master would remember the kindness of the young lady."

Ruan Yunting waved her hand, "Where would it be? It's not like you didn't see it. You kept saying that you came to ask me for help, but you weren't sincere. If I didn't agree, I would immediately get annoyed. Like I owed him, if I agreed, I would pay him back." I will take it for granted. If so, why should I wrong myself?"

Standing up, Ruan Yunting said: "I'll go and read a book for a while, if you have nothing to do, go out for a walk."

The implication is to go out and find out what's going on in the mansion.

Hongdou and Chanjuan understood, saluted and retreated.

Ruan Yunting looked at the lilies in the vase on the table, and was slightly lost in thought.

This time, it was thanks to the vigilance of the "Seventh Prince of Wangchun" that Xu Ningfang was not able to succeed.Although Wangchun Qigong likes to draw pictures of erotic palaces, but when you think about it carefully, the relationship between men and women is the same. Everyone has different hobbies, so it can't be said that they are obscene.Besides, she can trust Deming's character, as another saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups."The Seventh Young Master Wangchun should not be a bad person.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting went to the table, rubbed the ink by herself, and wrote a few short sentences on the snowflake paper, which meant that she asked Dai Ming to choose a time to ask Mr. Chunqi to come out, and she wanted to thank him in person.After drying the ink and sealing the envelope, he called Zhao Linmu's family to come in and delivered the letter.

Ruan Yunlan wore a long gown with white satin embroidered with slub patterns, and walked beside Xiaoxiang Garden and the famous Jinghu Lake with her hands behind her back. There was a gentle breeze, the lake surface was slightly wrinkled, and the reflection of layers of clouds flowing away also became misty , like his heart.

Ruan Yunting's question today may have been inadvertent, but Ruan Yunlan has been struggling with it until now.

What is his plan for the future?Ruan Yunting once told him that if you want to do something, you must first clarify your goals, know what you want, and then analyze how to achieve your goals.Finally, put it into action according to the results of your own analysis.Solving problems in this way is methodical and avoids detours.

But he didn't even do the first step, not even the most basic goal.

Ruan Yunlan didn't want to use youth as an excuse for burnout.He hangs around with those princes and grandsons all day long, and sees many high-ranking officials and nobles who use their family's ability to rise to the top.He envied those who had family members to rely on, but he also despised those who did not make achievements entirely by their own efforts.Han Su, Dai Ming, Xu Chengfeng.Although they also have strong family affairs, they also have convincing real talents.There is not much difference in age between them and myself, how can others do it but he can't?
While meditating, a sudden sound of conversation came to her ears, pulling Ruan Yunlan back from her thoughts.Before he knew it, he had moved away from Jinghu and came to Dongkuayuan, standing in the alley opposite to Xinlanju, Cuiyuan and Xiangyuan.The sound of the quarrel came from two people not far away.

"Trouble mother, our aunt is really very sick, please forgive me, let the maidservant go back to the wife and ask a doctor. The aunt is originally weak, and she has gone through such terrible things as being cast, if she can't take care of her I'm afraid that the remaining half of my life will go with me!"

The speaker was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl wearing a green jacket and purple-red trousers. Ruan Yunlan recognized her as Aunt Cui's personal maid serving Xia Cao.The contemptuous old lady she was begging for was the third wife's regular mother.

vote?It turned out that Aunt Cui actually voted for it.

"Thank you, old lady. That lowly servant girl committed such a serious crime and was just sent back to her mother's house. She has already made a face for her. Whether she can survive depends on her own life. Madam is kind and doesn't pursue it, but you Smacking their noses one by one? Seeing that the fourth master is about to get married after the Lunar New Year's Eve, the wife is so busy that she even steals the time to drink tea. How can she have the time to pay attention to you? Waiting for trivial matters? Go away, go away!"

Chang's mother was very impatient after reprimanding a long list, she waved her hands as if to repel mosquitoes, and was about to leave with her lips curled up.

Xia Cao had been begging for a while, seeing that Mama Chang was not accommodating, she bit her lower lip, fell to her knees with a plop, grabbed the hem of Mama Chang's clothes, and said almost sternly:
"Mother Chang, you and I are servants, why bother to make things difficult for each other? If there is something wrong with our aunt, do you want to let the third master dote on her? If he blames her, the wife is the master, so naturally it's fine. At that time, the unlucky one will still be you, mother."

Chang's mother heard the words, showing some hesitation on her face, but this place is in front of the gate of Xinlanju, and the servants in the yard are watching her every word and deed, even if she is alive, she will not say anything that may make the third wife Misunderstood what he said, snorted, and said coldly: "The third master blames the wife? Don't dream! You don't even think about the identity of your master? A concubine, still want to make trouble? Madam is kind, don't care about a servant, It’s already a great favor to let her raise her own child. To put it bluntly, the wife is unhappy and wants her to die. What can she do as a concubine!?”

"But you can't even invite a doctor!"

"Whether she can get better on her own depends on her own good fortune. The wife has done her best, and she is in a hurry. Even the nine girls, the twelve girls, and the thirteenth master are all taken away, so that she will never see each other again. What can she say? What can she do if she is left to fend for herself? Even the old lady can't get past such a big deal! It's better to stop thinking about it and take care of it carefully." Chang's mother pulled away Xia Cao held his hand, and said disgustedly: "Don't go away, delaying my serious business!" After taking two steps, he seemed to remember something, and said: "If you want to move away, hurry up, if you don't die, you will die!" It's bad luck for the house!"

Xia Cao fell to the ground, covering her mouth and sobbing.The servants of Xinlan Juli saw this scene, and continued to do their own things as if they hadn't seen it.

Ruan Junlan stood in front of the east corner gate, unconsciously pursing her lips and clenching her fists.

When she was sick, the wife of the main house refused to invite a doctor and left the concubine to fend for herself.

After giving birth to a child, the concubine's room cannot take care of her, and she has to wait for the main house to show mercy.

So what if the husband-in-law dotes on him, the husband-in-law can't stay in the house to protect him all the time.

Even a servant can utter obscene words and gossip at will, and he can't wait for death.

……

What Chang's mother said had a great impact on Ruan Yunlan. He knew that the concubine's status was low, but the previous "knowing" was only in the hazy imagination, and he didn't think about it carefully.Now, with the naked reality in front of her, Ruan Yunlan had to face up to the tragedy of the concubine's room.

His only sister is about to be a concubine!
Ruan Yunlan has always only seen the benefits of Dai Ming, seeing Dai Ming's gentleness towards Ruan Yunting, but has never thought about the problem of being a concubine.With his older sister's appearance, it's not surprising that Deming was gentle to her.Besides, now that Dai Ming doesn't have a regular wife, it's only natural that he dotes on Ruan Yunting.But what about after he has a regular wife in the future?Will Ruan Yunting be treated so harshly like Aunt Cui?After all, it is impossible for Deming to be with her for twelve hours, let alone guarantee that Deming will not change his mind in the future.

Aunt Cui used to be the old lady's maid, and her family members were also ordinary people. In front of the rich and powerful Xu family, it was equivalent to not having the protection of her mother's family.If Aunt Cui also has capable family members to protect her, she probably won't be bullied like this today.

When Ruan Yunting gets married in the future, when the old lady is here, maybe she can still protect her a bit.But one day the old lady will be gone, can they still count on these uncles?At that time, Ruan Yunting's only family member and support will be herself.

If she can stand out and become an official in the court, Ruan Yunting will suffer less pain in the Dai family, and her waist can be straightened.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunlan only felt that there was an infinite fighting spirit in her chest, as if a pair of big hands were tearing apart the maze in front of her.What are your plans for the future?For Ruan Yunting's sake, and for his own sake, he must stand out!

"Guiyun Pavilion" is a good place praised by the upper class in Daliang City today.Not to mention the unique dishes, the noble and elegant environment of Guiyun Pavilion and the unique service method are refreshing.

Ruan Yunting is currently in the private room on the third floor, standing by the window, looking at the people going downstairs with a smile.There are not many guests, but every private room is full, so this place is fine.After all, Guiyun Pavilion is not an ordinary restaurant, and the high consumption is not affordable by ordinary people, so naturally there will not be too many people.

Standing beside Ruan Yunting, Hongdou couldn't take her eyes off her. She rarely had the opportunity to go in and out of such occasions. Today, she inevitably exclaimed like a country bumpkin.

"Girl, it's really a great respect for him to come to such a place to entertain the 'Seventh Young Master Wangchun'."

Hearing that Hongdou's words did not hide his contempt for the "Seven Young Masters of Wangchun", Ruan Yunting disagreed and said, "Even if he likes to draw erotic pictures, he is not a treacherous person who does a lot of adultery and robbery. I started to despise him, and besides, he helped me."

Hearing this, Hong Dou hurriedly saluted and said: "Miss taught me that this servant knows." He straightened up and said, "My servant feels that even if he likes to draw erotic pictures, his character may not be inferior to those who don't draw erotic pictures. Go, on the contrary, some people look like human beings, but their actions are not as good as animals." Naturally, Xu Ningfang said.

Ruan Yunting smiled slightly, and said: "It's good that you can think so, and remember later, don't neglect the guests."

"Yes."

As soon as the words were finished, the crystal bead curtain at the door of the private room was lifted. Dai Ming was dressed in white satin embroidered with crane patterns, his black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and he walked in gracefully with a folding fan in his hand.

Ruan Yunting turned around when she heard the sound, her skirt didn't shake, only the silver silk skirt swaying slightly with Yunchang's topknot, which set off her indescribable delicate face, making people forget the commonplace.

"Zhiqian, you're here." Ruan Yunting walked towards him with a smile.

Dai Ming's eyes were as gentle as water, and there was a gentle smile on his lips: "Yes."

The two sat opposite each other on the bright purple brocade cushion, Hongdou and Funing stepped aside, naturally there was a well-trained tea master from Guiyun Pavilion cooking tea.

De Ming said: "I already thanked him on your behalf, you really don't need to invite him again today."

Ruan Yunting shook her head and said with a smile: "No, he has helped me a lot, how can this thank you word come from someone else's mouth? You must thank him in person to express your sincerity."

Dai Ming originally thanked Ruan Yunting and refused to let them meet because of the hobby of "Seven Young Masters of Wangchun", he was afraid that spreading the word would harm Ruan Yunting's reputation.

But Ruan Yunting was frank and frank, and she didn't feel contemptuous of that person because he was a erotic painter. Instead, she was very polite and sincerely thanked him. Dai Ming was grateful except for emotion.After all, that person was his best friend.

"Thank you, Ting'er." Dai Ming took the tea and handed it to Ruan Yunting with both hands.

Ruan Yunting was stunned for a moment, then understood what Dai Ming meant, took the teacup with both hands with a clever smile, and said, "Thank you for what, in fact, respect for people is the most important thing in life. I just did what I should do as a human being." doing."

"Okay, it's good to say that you have done what you should do as a human being. It's no wonder that Zhiqian likes you so much." As soon as the words fell, the bead curtain shook. She was wearing a royal blue brocade shirt, a white jade belt around her waist, and a white jade crown in her hair. The young man in brocade clothes walked in the door with a smile, and when he looked at the handsome face, he was the one Ruan Yunting wanted to thank today.

Ruan Yunting stood up and saluted Yingying: "The young master is honored to come here, and the young lady is very grateful."

"Wangchun Seventh Young Master" waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since you are a daughter-in-law who has never been married, we are not outsiders. Why should we be so polite?" As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his gown and sat down beside Dai Ming, with an elegant posture Flowing clouds and flowing water.

Looking at his behavior and attire, it is completely different from the ordinary one when he went to Xu's house. Obviously, he changed his clothes on purpose to pretend to be ordinary at that time.That's right, Deming is not an ordinary person, how could his friend be an ordinary pawn?He must be rich or expensive.

Ruan Yunting smiled and waved her hands, Hong Dou saluted, and retreated with Funing and the tea maker, only three people were left in the elegantly decorated room.

Ruan Yunting personally poured tea for the "Seven Young Masters of Wangchun" and said, "Thanks to you, Master, for what happened the day before yesterday. I have always wanted to thank you, but it has been delayed until today, so please don't be offended."

"Where is it?" "Wangchun Seventh Young Master" laughed and said: "I am acquainted with him, so I can skip the thank you. My surname is Gongsun, and I have a single name. I am the fourth eldest in the family. If the girl doesn't dislike it , and then call me fourth brother like that.”

Gongsun?Ruan Yunting's Qiushui eyes flashed faintly. If she remembered correctly, the prime minister of the dynasty was surnamed Gongsun.

Looking at Deming, Deming smiled: "He has always been so careless, and he is willing to recognize you as a younger sibling. If you think he won't hurt your face, it doesn't matter to call him fourth brother."

Is this what you agree with?

Ruan Yunting immediately showed her face, got up and gave a blessing ceremony, "Thank you, fourth brother, for being smart and astute, for thinking of such a magical method, so that I escaped a catastrophe, please accept my gift."
