Chapter 395~396

Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou finished eating, and the red beans brought the freshly cooked medicine, which was placed in a white porcelain lid and sent to Ruan Yunting.When the lid was lifted, there was a strong and pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine, Ruan Yunting turned her face away and frowned.These days in the palace, she took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and she felt that there was an indelible smell of medicine on her body.It's fine, why has my health deteriorated since the epidemic?

"Good medicine tastes bitter, you can take it with peace of mind, and you will recover quickly." Jun Lanzhou sat beside her and persuaded gently: "Think about it, there are so many delicious things in this world, if you have no sense of taste, Isn't life less fun?"

Ruan Yunting rolled his eyes at him, picked up the bowl and ate the thick black medicinal soup in one gulp.Looking at it, Hongdou felt that the medicine was bitter, and couldn't help frowning.After she finished using the medicine, she immediately served a cup of tea and waited for her to rinse her mouth with a delicate gold-painted gargle, and then retreated.

Ruan Yunting wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said mockingly: "I just know that God also cares for me."

"How do you say?" Jun Lanzhou raised an eyebrow.

"The medicine prescribed by Mr. Jun smells so bitter that it is unbearable to swallow, but it is not so unbearable to eat. It can be seen that I have no sense of taste, and taking medicine is also an advantage. Tell me, are you caring for me?" Ruan Yunting said. Covered his mouth and laughed.

Jun Lanzhou blinked and smiled, trying to tickle her: "You heartless little girl, I'm worried about your illness, but you're so good, why don't you come to make fun of my medicine?"

Ruan Yunting smiled and dodged from left to right, she was the most ticklish, she giggled and begged for mercy out of breath: "Lan Zhou, okay, I know I was wrong, haha, you, you hurry up!" Stop it, haha..."

"No, you have to say something nice."

"Haha, stop quickly, what, what sounds good."

"Scream, brother, come and listen."

"No, haha..."

"Do you call?"

"Okay, good brother."

Ruan Yunting's pretty face flushed with a smile, and sweat broke out on her forehead. Jun Lanzhou stopped, and she wiped off the sweat and gave him a glare.

Jun Lanzhou was in such a good mood that he lifted Erlang's legs and ate the teacup deliberately, "Good tea, now I have a good sister too."

Ruan Yunting put on a serious face, got up and sat down beside Fengwei Jiaoqin, and immediately, there was the sound of the qin like snow falling from a distant mountain.

Chanjuan and Hongdou were outside on the porch, listening to the music of the piano in the room, they looked at each other and smiled.

"How long has it been since the girl smiled like this?"

"I don't remember either. It can be seen that Mr. Jun is good to our girls." Chanjuan said: "I used to think that Mr. Dai was good, but Mr. Dai only knew how to make girls sad, so I thought he was a bad person. I used to I think the son of the world may be good to the girl. But the master of the world can't give the girl peace. Now it seems that the gentleman is better, and the girl is happy every time she sees him."

"You're right." Hongdou murmured softly, "If you think about the girl like this, it's no wonder the girl likes you."

"What?" Chanjuan didn't hear what Hongdou said.

"It's nothing." Hongdou shook her head, just in time to see someone coming at the gate of the courtyard, so she pointed there: "Look, someone is coming."

As soon as the voice fell, Han Bin's family was in front of him, leading Jun Zhaoying into the courtyard gate.

Chanjuan hurriedly went to report to Ruan Yunting, while Hongdou greeted her.

"Fourth young master is well. Mother Han is well."

Jun Zhaoying frowned, responded, and said, "Where are you girls?"

"The girl is in the back room, she is not feeling well right now, Mr. Jun is asking her for her pulse."

"Ting'er is not feeling well again? Lanzhou is here?" Jun Zhaoying muttered, and walked up the steps quickly.

Chanjuan in the room raised the curtain for him, bowed her knees and said: "Fourth young master."

"Ah."

Ruan Yunting stood up with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Ying remembers to look at me?"

When Jun Zhaoying saw Jun Lanzhou, he was very kind. The two brothers first thumped each other's shoulders, and then asked: "Just now your girl said you were sick again? What's going on?"

"It's caused by the cold a few days ago, and now it doesn't burn, and the nose is no longer swollen, but I can't taste the taste of food." Stretching out his hands in a gesture of invitation: "Sit down. Red beans, serve good tea."

Hongdou retreated in response, and went to the corridor to invite Han Bin's family to have tea together.Chanjuan also went to prepare snacks.

Jun Zhaoying then said: "Let Lanzhou show you a good life." He smiled and looked at Jun Lanzhou: "You are amazing now, if only I had your medical skills."

Jun Lanzhou smiled without saying a word.

Jun Zhaoying looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, so he said: "Actually, I'm here today because I have business to do. It just so happens that Lan Zhou is here, so I'll talk about it together."

Seeing him like this, Ruan Yunting said seriously, "Please tell me."

"Just now someone reported to the police that a male corpse was found outside the West City Gate. Guess who it is?"

"What?!" Ruan Yunting stood up in shock: "Lu Wenshan is dead?!"

"How do you know it's Lu Wenshan? I haven't even said it yet!" Jun Zhaoying looked at Ruan Yunting in surprise.She only thought that Ruan Yunting didn't know about Lu Wenshan being smuggled away, and she felt guilty for not telling her the truth.

Ruan Yunting said: "Don't ask me how I know, just ask if that person is Lu Wenshan?"

"Yes." Jun Zhaoying said in a deep voice: "He died in the carriage. There were signs of a fight at the scene, but the two guards accompanying him were stunned by drugs. As for him, he was stabbed in the center with a knife. Killed. Many valuables, gold, silver and jewels in the carriage were not lost."

Jun Zhaoying knew that Ruan Yunting and Jun Lanzhou were both smart, so just saying this was enough to let them understand the situation.

Ruan Yunting pondered: "So, it's a vendetta?"

"The emperor also said so." Jun Zhaoying looked at Ruan Yunting and said, "So, the emperor asked me to come to you first."

Ruan Yunting said in astonishment: "You mean, the emperor doubts me?"

"Yes, both you and Brother Lan are the biggest suspects. So I came to ask you, so naturally I have to ask Brother Lan."

Ruan Yunting nodded and said, "May I ask you, have you been tested? When was Lu Wenshan's death?"

"At three quarters in the afternoon."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I was still in the palace. The two young maids beside me and Eunuch De can all testify."

"Well, the emperor said the same thing. Where's Lanzhou?" Jun Zhaoying looked at Jun Lanzhou.

Jun Lanzhou pointed his nose: "I want to ask too? Well, at three quarters in the afternoon, I was playing chess with Mr. Xiao Bei Shu Xiao. After playing chess, I came to Xu's mansion. You asked Brother Bei. Know."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'm going to ask Brother Lan." Jun Zhaoying stood up and said, "Don't go out of the city these days, and I will call you anytime when there is a situation. Yes, if you don’t find out the truth, Lu Guogong will not give up.” After taking two steps outside, Jun Zhaoying said again: “By the way, this matter is kept secret. After all, Lu Wenshan has already been asked to be executed.”

"I know." Ruan Yunting nodded.

Watching Jun Zhaoying walk away.Ruan Yunting frowned and sat down, grabbed the dark green soft pillow and hugged her in her arms.

Jun Lanzhou ate tea leisurely.

After a while, Ruan Yunting raised her head and looked at Jun Lanzhou thoughtfully.

Jun Lanzhou also looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Did you know about Lu Wenshan's death?"

Jun Lanzhou chuckled, leaned forward and approached Ruan Yunting, and said, "You just told me that I knew that Lu Wenshan was secretly transported out of the city. How would I know how he died."

Slowly walked back to Fengwei Jiaoqin and sat down next to Pianpian, then said: "What song do you want to hear?" He didn't mention it anymore.

Jun Lanzhou praised her for being smart, and said with a smile, "Just play what you usually like the most."

Jun Zhaoying had inquired about Ruan Yunlan's whereabouts at three o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as she left Xiaoxiang Garden, she saw Xu Ningqiao wearing a smoky cloak, holding an exquisite small brass heater, and coming towards her with a smile.

Jun Zhaoying couldn't help a smile on his face: "Miss Seven."

"Fourth young master." Xu Ningqiao said: "Why do you have time to come to Xu's house now?"

Jun Zhaoying smiled and said, "Today I have official duties. What about you, it's so cold, what are you doing here?"

Xu Ningqiao blinked and smiled mischievously: "I am looking for plums in the snow."

"You are very elegant. I have something to do, so I have to go first."

"Then you pay attention to safety." Xu Ningqiao frowned worriedly.

"Don't worry." Jun Zhaoying's heart warmed up, and he took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned around, blushing and said, "I, I'm going back to practice, and I'll compete with you next time."

Xu Ningqiao was taken aback, then smiled warmly, she admired Jun Zhaoying, a big man who dared to admit defeat in front of her, and said softly: "Okay, I'll practice well, and I will never let you beat me .”

Jun Zhaoying raised her eyebrows, "Maybe next time. I'll go first." He waved his hands, turned around and strode away.

Xu Ningqiao had been standing there, watching his stiff back turn around the corner of the long alley, and then walked back to Pine Age Hall.

She came here today just to meet him.

At the moment, the duke Lu's mansion is covered by dark clouds, white practice is hung on the plaque in the main hall, and there are rows of wreaths and paper lanterns on both sides.Lying in a black lacquered coffin in the middle of the hall was Lu Wenshan who had already put on a royal blue shroud and put on makeup.

There was a lot of crying in the garden, and the servants only thought that the young master had been beheaded, and the emperor sent the body back only with grace.Only Lu Guogong, his wife, and Lu Wenshan's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, knew that the one lying in the coffin was not Lu Wenshan himself.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao has already passed out from crying twice.

Lu Guogong had a gloomy face, his eyes were red.He crushed the walnut in his hands with great force, making a cracking sound. In the gloomy mourning hall, it seems to be able to grind people's bones...

"Okay! Dare to touch the old man's son! I will cut you to pieces!!"

"Master!" The Duke's wife yelled worriedly, for fear that the servants would listen and misinterpret Duke Lu as rebellious.After all, Wen Zhan's life was ordered by the emperor.

Only then did Lu Guogong sit down and snort, the word "Ruan Yunting" had already been bitten into pieces in his heart.

Waking up early in the morning, Ruan Yunting had just dressed up and was ready to greet the old lady when Han Bin's family came to the Jingsi Garden first.

"Mother Han, why did you come so early? But what did the ancestors say?"

Han Bin's family smiled and handed the bundle to Hongdou, and said to Ruan Yunting: "Girl, let's try to see if it fits or not. This is what the old lady ordered the servant to bring to you." Then he looked at Ruan Ruan carefully Yun Ting said, "Your makeup today is too light, it should be more gorgeous."

Ruan Yunting became more and more convinced of the old lady's idea of ​​taking her on a "blind date", and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mama Han, I'll trouble you to go there, have you had breakfast yet? "

"I've used it." Han Bin's family felt warm and said with a smile, "Young lady dress up first, and the old slave has to go back to serve the old lady to change clothes, so I will leave."

"Mother Han, walk slowly."

Ruan Yunting brought the red beans to the door before returning to the house. Chanjuan couldn't wait and opened the bag.

"Wow!" Under the morning light, the clothes in the bundle made Chanjuan, a girl who had seen the world, exclaim in surprise.Even Ruan Yunting couldn't help admiring, what lay there was a snow-white cloak with no patterns on the plain surface, but in the sun, it had a faint colorful luster, and the tentacles were warm. It was not very thick, but thin and delicate. elegant.

"Girl, quickly put it on and show it to the servant. The servant is so big, and I have never seen such a good material."

Hongdou and Chanjuan waited for Ruan Yunting to take off the light green cloak and put on a white cloak with colorful luster. The strange thing is that Ruan Yunting didn't feel how cold it was.Fasten the neckband, look at Hongdou and Chanjuan with a smile: "How is it?"

Chanjuan sighed: "The white is pure and clean, but this cloak is obviously white, but it seems to gather all the colors of the world in one place. At first glance, it is dazzling, but it is still white when you look closely. Girl, the old lady really loves you." Ah. The servant has never seen such a good material."

"No wonder Han's mother said that your makeup is too light. The brilliance on your face has been taken away by your body." Hongdou pulled Ruan Yunting back to the dowry box, and re-applied powder and rouge on her face.The hair was changed from double flat buns to Lingxu buns, and a red gold flower hairpin was placed on it, without any decorations.

Standing up again, Ruan Yunting seemed to be a different person. She used to be beautiful, but she was youthful and easy-going, but now she is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at her.

"I'm leaving, you are so good at housekeeping." Ruan Yunting went down the steps, turned around and ordered.

Chanjuan and Hongdou salute should be.

After thinking about it, Chanjuan still stepped forward and said, "Girl, this time you went to Haosheng to perform, don't let others look down on you."

Ruan Yunting smiled and touched her little face: "Got it."

When she came to Pine Age Hall, the old lady had already made her preparations. She was wearing a bird-blue gold-woven over-the-shoulder python beanie, underneath an eight-panel ivory-white brocade skirt, and a black brocade fox fur coat.On the head is a big emerald Danfeng Zhaoyang hairpin, and three strands of small pearls are twisted into a strand of tassels hanging on the sideburns. In the middle of the forehead is an opal blue brocade mop, and a dragon-headed walking stick is in his hand.

This attire is really more gorgeous and solemn than the ones Ruan Yunting has seen before.

"Old ancestor." Ruan Yunting saluted three steps away.

"En." The old lady responded, looked at Ruan Yunting for a while, and said with a smile: "This cloak, how beautiful you put it on." , my grandmother gave it to my mother, and my mother gave it to me.”

"What?" Ruan Yunting asked in surprise, "Could it be Princess Zhenning's?"

"That's right." The old lady said with a smile, "The material of this cloak is made of white peacock feathers, and the embroidery on it is embroidered by Empress Xiuyan with gold and silver threads. It is said that this is Empress Xiuyan's hair." The cloak of youth."

Ruan Yunting suddenly felt that the cloak on her body was heavier than a thousand pieces of gold: "How can I use such a precious thing, and what if it is broken?"

The old lady smiled and said: "My grandma gave it to me, and I gave it to you. In the future, you can pass it on to your granddaughter. Ting'er is very beautiful in her clothes. Putting such good clothes in a cage will ruin it." .Let's go. Let's go."

"Thank you grandma." Ruan Yunting smiled and caught up with the old lady, took her arm and got into the pony carriage, then went to the main gate to change to Zhu Yinghuagai's carriage, and headed all the way to Xiang's mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was not as luxurious as Ruan Yunting had expected. It looked almost the same as the Xu family's. They were all courtyards with four entrances, white walls and black tiles, carved galleries and painted buildings.Ruan Yunting didn't come to the ancient times for the first time, and it doesn't feel novel to look at it now.

The main hall is arranged in the first main courtyard. There are three main rooms in the middle, and side rooms with side rooms on both sides. Ruan Yunting followed the old lady all the way to the courtyard, and saw a woman in crimson brocade embroidered with characters. A Pentecostal woman surrounded by jewels and emeralds stood in the porch with a group of servants.

"Oh, Madam Xu, you've come, you're really a rare visitor, a rare visitor."

"Prime Minister, I am bothering you." The old lady was very polite to Prime Minister's wife, she turned around and said to Ruan Yunting with a smile, "Ting'er, quickly greet Prime Minister's wife."

"Madam is well." Ruan Yunting bowed her knees.

When Prime Minister's wife looked at Ruan Yunting, her eyes were startled at first, and then there was some obvious indifference: "This is Miss Ruan." She looked at the old lady with a smile: "Young lady is a celebrity in our circle."

"Where is it?" Mrs. Xu said politely: "Madam praised her, but it's just a child's temper, a mischievous temper."

"Stop talking in the garden. Madam, please come in." The prime minister's wife made a gesture of invitation, and respectfully led the old lady into the main hall.

Ruan Yunting followed behind, obviously feeling that the prime minister's wife didn't like her, even when she spoke just now, she specially emphasized the word "celebrity".Although her reputation is not bad, the tone of the prime minister's wife seems to be that she has done something against women's morality. Seeing that the old lady seems to be quite accommodating to the prime minister's wife, one knows that this "marriage" is mostly a hot haircut. of.

This is even better, Ruan Yunting secretly smiled, she was really worried that the old lady would mess up the mandarin couples, now the prime minister's wife doesn't like her, isn't it better?It would save her a lot of energy.

The old lady and the prime minister's wife had tea for a while, and someone outside came to report, "Go back to Madam, the fourth young master has arrived."

The old lady leaned over to look at the door, showing [-]% concern.

The prime minister's wife frowned and said, "Please come in."

"Yes."

Not long after, I saw a handsome young man wearing a dark blue brocade cloak quickly stepped into the house, went to the ground and saluted: "Greetings to mother, greetings to Mrs. Xu."

"Get up, good boy, come here, let me take a look." The old lady stretched out her hand to Gongsun Jin.

Gongsun Zhen glanced at Ruan Yunting who was standing behind the old lady in surprise, then said yes, and walked to the old lady Xu.

Although the old lady is old, her memory is not bad. When she met Gongsun Jing, she naturally recognized him as the person who once went to the mansion to testify against Xu Ningfang, and could change Ruan Yunting in the painting to Xu Ningfang with two or three strokes. .Moreover, it is no secret that Gongsun Jin has been the "Seventh Prince of Wangchun" in the past two years, who among the nobles does not know?
However, as the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", even the not-so-famous fourth son of a prominent family with hairpin tassels like Prime Minister Gongsun's family is beyond the reach of ordinary women.Come to think of it, the fourth son's statement is not good, and Ting'er's background is not good, so the two are considered right.

Thinking of this, the old lady smiled more happily, "Brother Chu is really a good-looking talent."

When the prime minister's wife heard this, her smile became more genuine.

Gongsun Jin laughed and said, "Mrs. Xu is absurd."

"Where is the absurd praise?" Looking at the prime minister's wife: "Madam is really lucky, all the young masters in your house are extraordinary." Then he said to Ruan Yunting: "What are you still doing in a daze, come to see the fourth young master."

Ruan Yunting was amused, and saluted solemnly: "Fourth Young Master."

Gongsun Jin was also a little amused, and returned the salute gracefully, "Miss Ruan."

The old lady said: "I heard that the red plum blossoms in your house are just right. It's a pity that I can't help tossing my old bones. I'm very tired now. Why don't you ask the fourth son to be your guide and take Ting'er out for a walk?"

The prime minister's wife was a little unhappy when she heard the words, but she still smiled on her face. She couldn't offend Mrs. Xu, so she could only smile and tell: "In that case, Brother Ping, take Miss Ruan to the Plum Garden. Let's go. Remember to treat us well."

"Yes."

Ruan Yunting had no choice but to salute: "Ting'er resigns."

Leaving the main hall, Gongsun Jin waved away the people who followed him, and said to Ruan Yunting with a smile: "Long time no see, are you okay?"

Without others, Ruan Yunting can speak freely: "Fourth Brother, how do you see me?"

"Well, I think you are much better than shallow."

When Ruan Yunting heard the word Zhiqian, she smiled and did not speak.

Gongsun Qin also knew Ruan Yunting's helplessness, so he changed the subject and said, "I never thought that the woman my mother said Mrs. Xu wanted me to see was you."

Ruan Yunting laughed and laughed: "The old lady is probably afraid that I won't be able to get married."

However, Gongsun Jin stopped, looked her up and down, and said seriously: "You are blessed, you have the luck to help your husband, and whoever marries you will have a good fortune. But the person who can marry you must be really shocked." I have to live with you." His tone paused a bit: "It's too shallow. I told him early in the morning that he didn't believe me."

Ruan Yunting almost forgot that Gongsun Jin is good at astrology and hexagrams, "Then look, what kind of person is the one who can shock me?"

Ruan Yunting wanted to ask Jun Lanzhou if it was that person, but when Gongsun Jin heard the words, he leaned closer to him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "I think I have this momentum."

"Ah?" Ruan Yunting was taken aback, and took two steps back.

Gongsun Jin laughed loudly when he saw it, "Look at how scared you are, you can't tell if you are joking. But..." With a wry smile: "I am at this age, and my parents are anxious to discuss marriage. If it is true I marry you, Mrs. Xu also agreed, I'm afraid that's the only way to go."
