married daughter

Chapter 320 Chapter 366~367 Once tough

"Plans? What other plans do I have? Zuo just left the Xu family. But you also know that I offended the Lu family because of Lu Wenshan's affairs a few years ago, and Lu Wenshan's illness was finally cured. Last time... ... Duke Lu is eager to tear me apart, if I leave the Xu family, I will surely go to the tiger's mouth. I don't regret my death, so I can't bring brother Lan down."

Ruan Yunting's matter can only be discussed with Jun Lanzhou on weekdays, and no female friends can help her analyze it.Although Jun Lanzhou is extremely smart and good at planning, he is a man after all, and his understanding of the problem is different from that of a woman. At this time, Ruan Yunting prefers that the person in front of him is Xu Xiangwan, so she also said what was in her heart.

"So, you can't leave the Xu family until the Lu family gets rid of the threat." Xu Xiangwan said: "Although I am favored in the palace now, my status is not high after all. The most respected one is Emperor Renxian." Concubine and Concubine Rougong. With the current momentum of the Lu family, it will not be able to fall in a short while. The emperor will use the Lu family to check and balance our Xu family. In my opinion, if you want to leave the Xu family, the only way to be justified is to Marry. You can also get asylum when you arrive at your husband's house. However, getting married doesn't mean you can get married just because you get married."

"Yes. Sister Wan, what I am worried about now is that everyone will know about the scene in the imperial garden today. If the old lady can't be appeased, she will drive me out of the house later, and I will lose my face."

"No way." Xu Xiangwan was also a little worried, because she was in Pine Age Hall just now, and she did see that the old lady seemed very angry, but now she won't make trouble for Ruan Yunting, so she just said: "Don't worry , the expulsion of you from the house should not happen, I just conveyed to the old lady that the emperor will not blame you."

"But the old lady is still worried, right? In any case, before I leave the cabinet, it is more important to appease the old lady first."

Ruan Yunting really felt helpless, she was not short of money now, but the Lu family still had to rely on the Xu family to check and balance.Thinking of all kinds of troubles in the mansion on weekdays, I can't help but feel tired and say:

"Born in a prominent family, dressed in rich clothes and fine food, wearing gold and silver, ordinary people do not know how envious they are, but only we know the bitterness of it."

"Yes." Xu Xiangwan also felt the same way. Everyone said that she was a holy family, but who knew how embarrassing it was for her to try to please an old man she didn't like with a smile every day. , Gong scheming, doing everything to please the emperor, just to survive. From this point of view, it is better to be a commoner and marry a farmer for an ordinary life.

After being silent for a while, Xu Xiangwan said: "Tomorrow, you can go and express your attitude to the old lady, and lower your posture a little. I am helping you fuel the fuel. I believe the old lady will not treat you like that."

"Yeah." Ruan Yunting smiled gratefully at Xu Xiangwan, "Sister Wan, it's really thanks to you this time, I don't know how to thank you."

"What did you say?" Xu Xiangwan's charming Danfeng rolled her eyes, "You have helped me so much, without you, I would be dead by now, and what I have done is not enough to repay you in case .”

"My sister, what are you going to say in return?"

"Yes, you and my sister don't need to say any words of thanks."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment they both felt that it was an excellent thing to have each other help each other and wait for each other in times of crisis.

"girl."

Just at this moment, the voice of Han Bin's family came from outside the door.

"Mama Han? Come in, please." Ruan Yunting raised her voice to answer, while Xu Xiangwan sat upright, holding a cup of tea with an elegant smile, and regained her superior appearance.

Han Bin's family entered the door and bowed politely in front of the two: "For Concubine Hui Wan, the old lady has already ordered someone to sort out the 'Shiyuxuan', and all the supplies are the best. Please move it."

Xu Xiangwan put down the teacup and smiled charmingly: "Thank you, old lady, but I haven't seen Ting'er for a few days, so I miss you so much. Let's stay in the Jingsi Garden today."

Han Bin's family was very surprised, quickly looked up at Xu Xiangwan, and hurriedly said: "The old slave ordered someone to tidy up a room?" What she wanted was to let Ruan Yunting move to the wing room and free the main room for Xu Xiang stayed late.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangwan waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, Ting'er and I don't care so much, we just live together. Please ask mom to go back to the old lady, don't bother."

Xu Xiangwan's politeness flattered Han Bin's family, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Standing up, Xu Xiangwan rubbed his sore waist and said with a smile, "Let's sleep too, we have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Of course Ruan Yunting knew that Xu Xiangwan was doing this for her own good, so she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll ask Hongdou and the others to prepare hot water for washing. You didn't bring pajamas, did you? Just wear mine first?" He had already walked to the closet and opened the double doors of the carved mahogany cabinet.

Xu Xiangwan was very happy to see that Ruan Yunting didn't follow him heretics, and felt that it was really not wrong for her to come out today, and it was worthwhile for her kindness to Ruan Yunting.

Not long after, Hongdou and Chanjuan prepared hot water and came in. After a careless wash, they changed their clothes and slept together.

They didn't talk all night, and when they didn't arrive at Mao's time the next morning, the two of them were called up by Bai Wei, the maid who served Xu Xiangwan personally. Change clothes at night.

Xu Xiangwan sat in front of Ruan Yunting's dowry box, Ren Baiwei put her makeup on and combed her hair, and said with a smile, "Ting'er will accompany me out later."

"What is that for? When you come back home, I will go out with the old lady and the ladies to greet you later. Everyone should be preparing for it now."

Xu Xiangwan came secretly last night because of an emergency, but she is the emperor's woman after all, how can she be neglected when she goes out to visit her relatives?Even if the ceremony was not as good as Concubine Xu's visiting relatives back then, she didn't give in too much. The old lady, the third master and others attached great importance to it, and they were already preparing for it in full swing.

Xu Xiangwan shook his head and said, "Listen to me, you can go with me, and we will go through the back door later. Why don't you dress up again? I see that you are too plainly dressed."

Ruan Yunting was wearing the academy's early-autumn uniform, a moon skirt alternated between moon white and light blue, moon white half-arms and a white silk drape, her hair was combed in double flat buns, without any decoration on the head.

Looking down at herself, Ruan Yunting shook her head: "Forget it, I'm still so comfortable."

Xu Xiangwan knew that Ruan Yunting didn't like to dress up, so she didn't force her anymore, "It's up to you."

Xu Xiangwan was wearing a peacock blue brocade nine-phoenix Zhai gown and a crown of three phoenixes on his head. His makeup was dignified and gorgeous. Although it was not as gorgeous as that of the imperial concubine, it was still royal. After checking in the bronze mirror, he felt that everything was in order. , Bai Wei put on the black cloak and hood for Xu Xiangwan last night.Xu Chengfeng had been waiting outside for a long time, and the four left Xu's house quietly through the back door.

Turning around Ronghua Lane, walking for about less than a cup of tea, I saw the luxurious Fengluan car parked in the middle of the ground from a distance, followed by a neat guard of honor lined up by maids and eunuchs.

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Concubine Wangui, everything is ready."

Xu Xiangwan smiled and took Ruan Yunting's hand: "Let's go Tinger, let's go together."

Ruan Yunting was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "How can I do that, you are your concubine..."

Xu Xiangwan interrupted her: "You are your concubine's sister, I invite you to ride with me, why not? Come on."

Xu Xiangwan didn't give Ruan Yunting a chance to refuse, he just took her hand and boarded the Fengluan car, sat in the middle by himself, and pressed Ruan Yunting's shoulder to let her sit beside him.

"Ting'er, listen to me." Holding Ruan Yunting's hand tightly, Xu Xiangwan raised his voice and said: "Order, get on and drive."

Xiaoluzi outside smiled and saluted when he heard the words, and raised his voice in a sharp voice: "Your concubine, get up!"

As soon as the voice fell, the drums and music played together. The team slowly turned around the back alley, bypassed Ronghua Alley, and then walked forward for about a hundred steps. Turning right is Fugui Street, and the three archways of Xu's house are already faintly visible.

Ruan Yunting felt like a fox pretending to be a tiger. Although she passed by here more than once in a carriage, she never felt this way. Even if she was not the owner of the carriage, she walked slowly towards Qingshui amid the guard of honor and the sound of ceremony The streets paved with loess splashed on the street still gave me a different feeling.

In front of the gate of the Xu Mansion, the old lady and the whole family, all young and old, were already dressed in formal Zhai clothes and court clothes, waiting in line.

There was a young eunuch riding a horse in front to report, "Your concubine, empress Luan, has arrived!"

Immediately, the sound of rites and music was heard from far to near.

The people in the Xu family who were looking around hurriedly bowed their heads.

As the team gradually approached, the Xu family headed by the old lady knelt down and saluted, and shouted: "Wan'an, concubine Wangui!"

Ruan Yunting wanted to get out of the car to salute, but Xu Xiangwan's hand was tightly grasping hers, not giving her the slightest chance to get up.Ruan Yunting had no choice but to accept the gift from everyone in the Xu family.

"no."

"Concubine Xie Wan."

Everyone saluted again and stood up. When they looked up, they found that the person who got out of the car with Xu Xiangwan was Ruan Yunting in white!
I knew that Concubine Wangui and Ruan Yunting had a very close friendship, but now it seems that she has to ride with Ruan Yunting when going back and forth to the Xu family to visit relatives...

Except for the old lady who knew that Xu Xiangwan had returned to the Xu Mansion yesterday, everyone thought that Ruan Yunting might have left the mansion to enter the palace last night, and Concubine Wangui gave her to sit with her today.

The old lady, on the other hand, understood more than the rest of the concubine Wangui's intention of flattering Ruan Yunting. What she wanted to say was—"Ruan Yunting is my Xu Xiangwan's sister, and she can be with her when visiting relatives." Cheng, if you don't have a good eye, dare to touch her and try, she will not let that person go first."

Needless to say, Xu Xiangwan greeted and greeted each other with the old ladies and wives. When entering the mansion, Ruan Yunting was about to retreat to the end of the line, but Xu Xiangwan grabbed Ruan Yunting's hand.

"Ting'er is with me."

Ruan Yunting secretly tried hard, and blinked to signal Xu Xiangwan that there was no need to do this, but Xu Xiangwan insisted on holding her hand, and they stepped on the red carpet together.

Xu Xiangwan and Ruan Yunting walked in the front, and the old lady, master, wife, and young master and girls all walked behind.Falling behind Ruan Yunting, a junior, everyone could only stare blankly.

Rongzhi Hall was originally used to entertain guests, but now it has been sorted out and replaced with many gorgeous decorations, decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is very festive.In the middle is an arhat bed made of red sandalwood carved with peony flowers. On the bed is a golden brocade cotton cushion, and on both sides are embroidered square pillows of the same color.

Xu Xiangwan pulled Ruan Yunting to step on the pedals, sat in the middle, and then pulled Ruan Yunting to sit beside him, just like when they were riding in the car, the two sat together.

Ruan Yunting struggled secretly again, unexpectedly Xu Xiangwan looked at the slender, her strength was not small, and she held Ruan Yunting's hand fiercely and would not let go no matter what, she was determined to let her sit on her beside.

The old lady, the third wife and others saw it, each with their own thoughts, went forward to salute again.Xu Xiangwan was extremely polite to all the elders. He got up to return the salute, and the peers also nodded in return. Only when the third wife walked up to him and kowtowed, Xu Xiangwan had a red-eyed sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his phoenix eyes raised a glance. To the old lady's gray hair.

"The old ancestor's hair mask is extremely delicate. It is the best jadeite."

The old lady quickly smiled and leaned over and said: "Thank you for your praise. It was given by the second master on my birthday last year. I like it very much, and I have always been reluctant to wear it. Today, your concubine is visiting relatives, so I took it out and put it on. This emerald head is full of happiness."

"So it was a gift from the second master? The second master has made great military achievements. He is not only a minister of the emperor's humerus, but also a dutiful son. The ancestors are really lucky to have such a son."

Xu Xiangwan praised it, and the old lady was naturally delighted, and nodded with a smile.The second wife, Xu Ningqiao, and Xu Chengfeng who was accompanying Xu Xiangwan were also honored.

The third wife is still kneeling in the middle of the ground, with her head down, not knowing what to do.Xu Xiangwan praised the second room in public, and clearly despised her as the third room wife. She almost fainted with anger, but Xu Xiangwan, whom she had caused, almost lost a hand. Of course, her hatred for her is needless to say... Three The wife is very upset, who would have imagined that the little girl who was sent under the fence back then is now very rich!
The third master's face has long been lost. The people in his room were punished, and his face was also dull.I always feel that the people in the long room and the second room are looking at themselves with blank eyes.With shame on his face, he lowered his head.

The old lady saw that the third wife had been "punished to kneel" for about the same time, enough time for Xu Xiangwan to calm down, so she coughed lightly, her chin motioned for Xu Xiangwan to kneel down alone.

Xu Xiangwan naturally accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Third wife, get up."

The third wife was kneeling sorely. After kowtowing, she stood up holding the girl's arm, limped to the side, looked up, and saw Ruan Yunting sitting next to Xu Xiangwan, feeling more and more ashamed of her old face.

Everyone sat down according to their status, while Xu Chengxuan and Wang Yuanshuang, Xu Chengming and Luo Shimin, as well as the rest of the girls and young men could only stand aside.

Xu Xiangwan sang praises to the emperor, and finally said: "... I am from the Xu family, so naturally I dare not forget my roots. From now on, our Xu family must be of one heart and one mind, be loyal to the Liang Kingdom, and do our best to serve the emperor."

Everyone stood up: "Yes."

Xu Xiangwan said with a smile again: "I used to live in the mansion, and I am grateful to my ancestors and wives for taking care of me. I remember all the people who treated me well. Of course, I also remember those who treated me badly." .”

In such a scene, Xu Xiangwan put it bluntly, isn't he afraid of confirming his identity as a "traitorous concubine"?Ruan Yunting was worried at first, but after thinking about it, the Xu family has done too much to Xu Xiangwan. Now that Xu Xiangwan is practicing in the palace, he is already used to killing and making decisions. Now he can say these words , naturally has her intentions.

The third wife trembled when she heard the words, and felt a chill rising from her back.The old lady also frowned, and glanced at Xu Xiangwan indiscriminately. Did she know all about it?
Xu Xiangwan has been in the palace for the past few days, and his ability to observe words and emotions has been perfected. With a sweep of his phoenix eyes, he saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, stood up with a smile, and said, "I'm tired too, and it's time to go to court. Let's all go away."

The old lady said: "Concubine Wangui, Shiyuxuan has been sorted out, please concubine Wangui move."

Xu Xiangwan smiled and said, "No need, I'll just stay at Ting'er's place. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I can talk to her well."

"Yes."

The old lady was inconvenient to object, so she turned around and rushed to the Jingsi Garden to tidy up.

The Xu family was a little unbelievable.What kind of drug did Ruan Yunting give Xu Xiangwan to make her so close to her!

However, there is one thing that everyone present today understands.Ruan Yunting has the favor of Xu Xiangwan, a good friend who is a favorite concubine, and none of them can touch her and want to hurt her, unless Xu Xiangwan is abolished one day.

It took only half an hour to finish the whole cutscene.A group of people sneaked out of the Jingsi Garden just now, and now they are a mighty group of people when they come back.

After entering the main hall, Xu Xiangwan took the first seat and ordered: "Chunlan, Baiwei, Xiaoluzi, you all step down, and Xiaoanzi stays."

"Yes."

The two maids and a young eunuch bowed and retreated, leaving only a tall young eunuch standing in the middle of the ground with his head bowed.

Ruan Yunting felt that the matter was unusual, so she said, "Hongdou, Chanjuan, sister-in-law Zhao, you all go down, and you are not allowed to enter without orders."

"Yes, girl."

In a blink of an eye, there were only Ruan Yunting, Xu Xiangwan and Xiao Anzi left in the room.

Xu Xiangwan first took off the heavy phoenix hairpin on his head, then stood up and circled around Xiao Anzi who was standing with his head bowed.

"Okay, you are quite courageous."

Xiao Anzi lowered his head, his spy's voice was trembling with fear: "Slave, I don't understand what Concubine Wangui means."

"Still pretending to be me?" Xu Xiangwan thumped his shoulder hard.

Unprepared, Xiao Anzi took two steps back after being beaten.

Ruan Yunting looked out strangely, wondering why Xu Xiangwan did this, but saw the tall little eunuch suddenly raised his head and laughed at Xu Xiangwan.The man's face was ordinary, but Ruan Yunting's eyebrows and nose were familiar.

"Second prince?!" Ruan Yunting covered her mouth and whispered for a lifetime.

Han Jun sat down on the side with a careless smile, crossed Erlang's legs and took a sip of the tea cup: "I sneaked into the team early in the morning, I didn't eat breakfast, I didn't sleep enough, I'm still tired now!"

Xu Xiangwan frowned: "What are you doing after you come out? Could it be that you took advantage of someone to harm me?"

Han Jun gave Xu Xiangwan a white look: "Where is it, you and I are best friends, can't you trust me?"

Xu Xiangwan said seriously in a low voice: "If you don't want to harm me, then leave immediately, if people find out that the second prince is disguised as a little eunuch and mixed in my team going out of the palace, what do you think your father will think? Even if he doesn't think too much, will you let me go when those two imperial concubines?"

"Hey, I knew you would say that." Han Jun frowned: "I just came out to play with you. The clean one cleans itself. You and I have nothing to do. You don't care what others say?"

Xu Xiangwan rolled his eyes angrily: "You listen to me, go away, just pretend I'm begging you to do it?"

"No. It's so easy for me to go out of the palace to have fun, so don't disappoint me, okay?"

"Hey, if your father finds out, Longyan will definitely be furious."

"Father? He probably doesn't remember me as a son." Han Jun laughed at himself, "Don't persuade me, I won't leave."

"you!"

Xu Xiangwan stared at Han Jun, not knowing what to say for a moment, Han Jun was the only person in the palace who had a sincere friendship with her, at that time she was poisoned, and after seeing all the warmth and coldness of human beings, even the emperor When he gave up on her, Han Jun never gave up on her.Her relationship with him has nothing to do with love between men and women, she just cherishes this rare friend.Now a friend has given her a problem, and she has no idea how to solve it.

Han Jun also knew that his move was to embarrass Xu Xiangwan, but as he said just now, it was so easy to go out of the palace to play, wouldn't it be a pity to go back so soon?

At this moment, he stood up and walked to Ruan Yunting with a smile: "Isn't this Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Yunting put away her complicated feelings and gave a blessing: "Second Highness."

"Tsk tsk," Han Jun smacked his lips, and said to Xu Xiangwan with a smile, "Your good friend is a powerful person. You have done everything beautifully in rejecting marriage in the palace. Now you are just trying to find a way to get me Staying at Xu's house, what can be difficult for her?"

Seeing that Han Jun made up his mind and didn't want to leave.Xu Xiangwan looked at Ruan Yunting helplessly: "Ting'er..."

Ruan Yunting asked: "The Second Highness just wants to stay in Xu's house for a few days, not to stay with Concubine Wangui?"

"Of course not. I just want to play in Xu's house."

"Okay." Regardless of why he wanted to stay in Xu's house, as long as he wouldn't affect Xu Xiangwan and didn't want to stay by Xu Xiangwan's side, it would be easy.

Ruan Yunting smiled slyly: "As long as the Second Highness can stay in Xu's house, he can do anything?"

"Yes." Han Jun nodded seriously.

"Then you can go to the outer courtyard to do a long-term job. Man, if you want to stay, that's all you can do."

"what?!"

%%%%
As Ruan Yunting expected, the story of the imperial garden spread in the academy last night. The story of the martyr's daughter's divorce had aroused strong repercussions, followed by the story of "Ruan Yunting's divorce in front of the palace" , her behavior has completely transformed her from a poor person about to be abandoned to a brave "martyr".The most important thing is that she obviously plotted against the emperor, and the emperor will still not mind at all.

At present, Mo Jianbi is probably the only one who can calculate the emperor and not be beheaded, and now Ruan Yunting is added.

Ruan Yunting used to be Mo Jianbi's pen and ink girl. After a while, the news that Ruan Yunting was Mo Jianbi's apprentice spread like wildfire.
