Chapter 283 The Guest
Liu Ruosi did not often make needlework with her own hands, but every piece she made must be extremely exquisite. For example, the sachet given to Rong Chenghan obviously took a lot of work. But what made Rong Chenghan happy and proud was the sachet.
The embroidered pattern: mandarin ducks playing in the water, bright colors and lifelike. This is not the first time that Liu Ruosi has made needlework for Rong Chenghan, but it is the first time to embroider such a pattern. For Rong Chenghan, this is of great significance.
major.
The corners of Rong Chenghan's mouth were raised, and the corners of his eyes and brows were slightly proud. Even with his full beard, Liu Ruosi could easily read four words on Rong Chenghan's face at this moment: Proud of spring breeze.
Rong Chenghan held the sachet in his hand and looked at it for a long time before putting it on carefully. Looking at Liu Ruosi again, Rong Chenghan's eyes had a lot of subtle contents.
"It's just a sachet." Liu Ruosi muttered to herself as she felt a little embarrassed when Rong Chenghan looked at her.
When making this sachet, Liu Ruosi made it for Rong Chenghan. However, the pattern she originally planned to embroider was something else, but in the end, I don’t know why, she actually embroidered this pattern. The sachet is
It had been embroidered a long time ago, but just looking at the pattern, Liu Ruosi hesitated a little as to whether she should give Rong Chenghan something else. Today, after hearing the news from Lao Shi, Liu Ruosi finally decided to give it to Rong Chenghan.
The sachet was taken out.
She knew Rong Chenghan would like it, but she still didn't expect that Rong Chenghan would be so happy.
"I have something to discuss with you." Liu Ruosi said to Rong Chenghan.
"What's the matter?" Rong Chenghan asked. Judging from his face and tone, no matter what Liu Ruosi asked for at this moment, I'm afraid he would agree without hesitation.
Just as Liu Ruosi was about to speak, Grandma Chang came in and reported to Liu Ruosi.
"The young prince and young lady of the Zhengding residence are here."
"Who?" Liu Ruosi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Grandma Chang quickly repeated it again. Liu Ruosi heard clearly this time and couldn't help but frown slightly. Han Qing and Liu Ruojuan were definitely not on her list of welcome guests. After Liu Ruojuan got married, she rarely went out. But Liu Ruojuan
After all, Si and she were cousins and had met twice before. Liu Ruojuan was very affectionate towards Liu Ruosi and expressed her desire to make friends with Liu Ruosi. She invited Liu Ruosi to be a guest at Zhengding Hou Mansion and
I hope I can come to the palace as a guest.
Liu Ruosi's reaction was naturally very cold. She didn't like Liu Ruojuan's personality and didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Ruojuan. As for the eldest princess and Han Qing, they were even more respectful and insensitive.
Who would have thought that Liu Ruojuan and Han Qing would come to the door on their own!
After all, she and Liu Ruojuan are both daughters of the Liu family. One of the Zhengding Marquis Mansion and the Wang Mansion is a royal family member, and the other is a clan member. They are still relatives. Liu Ruojuan and Han Qing came. Liu Ruosi kicked them out.
Liu Ruosi frowned and didn't speak for a while.
"Han Qing is here. I'll go to the study in front to meet him." Rong Chenghan said.
"Speaking of which, you and Han Qing should have known each other since childhood. How is your relationship with him?" Liu Ruosi asked Rong Chenghan.
"We have known each other since childhood, but we are not familiar with each other, and we have no friendship." Rong Chenghan told Liu Ruosi, "To be able to talk, only the second brother in our house can talk to him for a few words."
.However, the second brother is much older than Han Qingnian, so I might bump into him by chance outside."
Rong Chenghan didn't explain in detail, but Liu Ruosi heard it clearly enough. Han Qing was a dandy and had no friendship with the Rong Chenghan brothers, and Prince Yongjing was the first to look down on dandy children. Therefore,
Unless something happens, Han Qing never comes to the palace.
"You and he have nothing to say," Liu Ruosi said to Rong Chenghan.
"I just went to the front and sent him away." Rong Chenghan said, "This will prevent him from following in and causing an eyesore. You can't break his head now!"
"Then it's you." When Liu Ruosi heard Rong Chenghan talk about this matter, there was a hint of joking on her face, and she simply said with a smile.
"It's not a bad idea." Rong Chenghan replied seriously, and stood up and walked forward.
"I'm just kidding, don't hit people easily." Liu Ruosi said towards Rong Chenghan's back.
"I am sensible." Rong Chenghan agreed and stepped out.
When Liu Ruosi saw that Rong Chenghan had left, she sent someone out to meet Liu Ruojuan. She sat down in front of the dressing mirror. She had just been joking with Rong Chenghan, and it seemed that her temples were a little loose. She called Aunt Chang to come forward and help tidy them up.
"Madam, please be careful of the second girl... Night owls come into the house. They come if you have nothing to do." Aunt Chang reminded Liu Ruosi in a low voice.
"Mommy's saying goes well." Liu Ruosi nodded, of course she was wary of Liu Ruojuan. "Mommy said, compared to the eldest sister and the second sister..."
"Most of the older girls are domineering, and most of them are overt. When it comes to ruthlessness, it's hard to tell them apart. But when it comes to being tolerant and willing to go out of your way, you have to be the second girl." Aunt Chang said.
Tao, the implication is that Liu Ruojuan is more difficult to deal with and needs to be more vigilant.
Liu Ruosi gave a few more instructions to Aunt Chang. She did not go to the second gate to pick up Liu Ruojuan. She just heard someone reported that Liu Ruojuan had arrived at the door of Yunshui Residence, so Liu Ruosi took someone to pick her out. Compared with the previous
This time at Daxiangguo Temple, Liu Ruojuan's dress was a bit more luxurious this time.
Liu Ruosi raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Liu Ruojuan. Liu Ruojuan was not alone. Su Qingnuan and Liu Ruojuan were standing opposite each other. Both of them had smiles on their faces. They didn't know what to say and what they said was very congenial. Liu Ruosi
Seeing Liu Ruojuan, Liu Ruojuan also turned around and saw Liu Ruosi. Liu Ruojuan was smiling from a distance, then left Su Qingnuan behind and grabbed Liu Ruosi's hand when she got there, shouting three times in her mouth.
Sisters. If anyone who didn’t know them before saw this scene, they would think that they have a great relationship and a deep sisterly love.
Because Su Qingnuan was right next to her, Liu Ruosi's movements slowed down by half a beat and she felt her hand being grabbed by Liu Ruojuan. Liu Ruojuan's hands were cold and as thin as chicken feet, but very strong. How could Liu Ruosi
She frowned invisibly, Liu Ruojuan's exaggerated and affectionate attitude made her uncomfortable, and Liu Ruojuan's hands also made her uncomfortable.
Liu Ruosi calmly shook off Liu Ruojuan's hand and moved inside to let Liu Ruojuan in.
"It's rare that my second sister is willing to come..."
Saying this, Liu Ruosi glanced at Su Qingnuan next to her.
"As long as the third sister doesn't dislike me, I would rather come here every day." Liu Ruojuan smiled and said, "It happened that when I entered the house, I met the seventh sister." Liu Ruosi still remembered that in the past, Su Qingnuan was affectionate to Liu Ruoyuan.
, but didn’t pay much attention to Liu Ruojuan. And Liu Ruojuan was not close to Su Qingnuan. After a while, Liu Ruojuan had already changed her title to Su Qingnuan. She no longer called Miss Su Qi, but affectionately
Call me Seventh Sister.
"I happened to be passing by and saw the second sister coming, so I acted as host for the third sister-in-law and came with the second sister." Su Qingnuan immediately smiled.
Su Qingnuan made it clear that she didn't want to leave, so Liu Ruosi let Liu Ruojuan and Su Qingnuan sit in the room together. The little girl brought tea fruits, Liu Ruojuan looked around secretly with her eyes, and her face showed a vague expression.
The envy comes.
"Among the sisters among us, the third sister is the most blessed." Liu Ruojuan said with a smile.
"Second sister is joking. Second sister is a blessed person herself, how can she talk about others." Liu Ruosi said calmly.
Regarding Liu Ruosi's words, Liu Ruojuan did not refute very much. There was a hint of shyness on her face, and she talked about how well the eldest princess treated her. For example, every time she had meals, the eldest princess would ask Liu Ruojuan to accompany her.
Occasionally, once or twice, Liu Ruojuan would not be dining with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess would definitely send good dishes to Liu Ruojuan in addition to Liu Ruojuan's share.
"...It has only been so many days, but the rewards have already been exhausted." Liu Ruojuan asked Liu Ruosi and Su Qingnuan to see the green headband and face she was wearing, saying that it was the eldest princess's original dowry. It was from the palace.
It was made by a skilled craftsman, and then she showed Liu Ruosi and Su Qingnuan that the clothes she was wearing were either made of brocade as a new reward from the eldest princess, or were clothes given by the eldest princess.
"The eldest princess said that my height now is the same as when she was young. Seeing me is like seeing herself more than ten years ago." Liu Ruojuan finally said, although she was still shy, she could not hide it.
There was pride in her expression and tone, "The eldest princess also said to people, how could she not love me. Such a daughter-in-law is good in every way, but she is also like her biological daughter. It has also made her happy these years.
I miss you so much."
"The eldest princess is the most understanding and kind. The second sister and the eldest princess are so attached to each other. I am really blessed to have the eldest princess' love." Su Qingnuan said with a smile. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and Liu Ruojuan was so thin.
swept across his face quickly.
"That's what I said too." Liu Ruosi said in a neutral tone. No matter how colorful Liu Ruojuan's words were, the thick makeup could not completely cover up her haggardness. Liu Ruosi said that the eldest princess treated her well in every possible way.
, but the eldest princess rarely takes Liu Ruojuan with her when she goes out. Liu Ruojuan has never gone out to meet visitors, except this time to the palace. Liu Ruosi also knows that except for returning home, Liu Ruojuan has never returned to the Liu family.
"Oh, look at me, when I talk about the eldest princess, I talk a lot. It's true that the eldest princess treats me very well." After Liu Ruojuan finished speaking, she smiled again, "If you want to say you are blessed and loved by others, of course you are.
Third sister is an enviable person. Although seventh sister has not left the government now, she will definitely be beyond my reach in the future."
If there are no accidents, Liu Ruojuan will become the Marquis's wife in the future. She will never be able to match her, so what position will Su Qingnuan have?!
"Third sister-in-law and second sister-in-law made fun of me again." Su Qingnuan covered her face with a handkerchief and said with a sweet smile.
While they were talking here, Liu Ruosi had already sent someone to Chunhui Hall to inquire about it. She knew that Su was in Chunhui Hall and was ready to meet Liu Ruojuan. Liu Ruosi got up and took Liu Ruojuan to Chunhui Hall. Su
Qing Nuan seemed to be very free today. After such a long time, she did not go to the imperial concubine's place, but accompanied her to Chunhui Hall.
It seems that suddenly, Su Qingnuan and Liu Ruojuan fell in love, as if they were close friends and close friends.
When they arrived at Chunhui Hall, Liu Ruosi led Liu Ruojuan and bowed to Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su asked Liu Ruojuan to sit down, asked some questions about the eldest princess, and then told Liu Ruosi to entertain Liu Ruojuan well.
"Don't be lazy. I'm not feeling well today, so I can't accompany you. You can have dinner with the young lady."
Seeing Su's face looking tired, Liu Ruosi hurriedly got up and left with Liu Ruojuan. Su Qingnuan hesitated for a while, but stayed in front of Su, saying that she would come to accompany Liu Ruosi and Liu Ruojuan in a while.
Liu Ruosi brought Liu Ruojuan back to Yunshui Residence. Without Su Qingnuan by her side, Liu Ruojuan's speech and behavior were no longer so exaggerated, while Liu Ruosi was still calm.
"How does Mr. Hou treat his third sister?" Liu Ruojuan suddenly asked Liu Ruosi.
"It's okay." Liu Ruosi replied, looking at Liu Ruojuan, "Second sister is here today, but what's the matter?"
"It's nothing," Liu Ruojuan said, "I just missed my third sister, so I told the eldest princess. The eldest princess was also happy that I had frequent contact with my third sister. The young marquis happened to be at home, so he accompanied me."
"No matter what kind of person he was before, it is only after we get married that we realize that he is actually a good person. We...he respects me and I respect him. He never refuses to say anything I say." Liu Ruojuan said this,
His face turned red again, "He is not young anymore. Although he will definitely have a title in the future, the eldest princess and I both want him to make more progress. Most of his friends in the past were idle. He should spend more time with the Marquis.
We can learn 20-30% of the experience from the Marquis, and the eldest princess and I can feel relieved. Now because we are sisters, they should naturally get closer and be each other's arms in the future."
"That's it?" Liu Ruosi looked at Liu Ruojuan, obviously not quite believing what Liu Ruojuan said.
"That's it." Liu Ruojuan nodded heavily, "Third sister, you don't have to doubt me, I have no intention of harming Third Sister. Although I did some things in the past, Third Sister knew my difficulties, and I had no choice but to do so. Moreover,
, I have never harmed Third Sister, and I will never do so in the future. Third Sister, just trust me."
"Perhaps, I can be of some use to Third Sister." Liu Ruojuan paused for a moment and then said softly.
"If what you said today didn't mean what you said, or if you had other thoughts..." Liu Ruosi was not moved by Liu Ruojuan's words, "You don't need me to tell you what happened to your elder brother's family.
Yes. Then I still have to worry about the old lady. If it were you, you should know how powerful it is."
Liu Ruojuan's body trembled slightly.
Liu Ruosi knew that Liu Ruojuan was scared. Regarding Liu Yujiang, although Liu Yujiang was pressing forward step by step and seeking his own death, in the eyes of some people, it was not like that. For example, Mrs. Liu, mother and daughter,
Privately, they all believed that Liu Ruosi didn't like Liu Yujiang, and Rong Chenghan punished Liu Yujiang so miserably in order to please Liu Ruosi.
Liu Ruosi had no intention of correcting the views of mother and daughter. Now, she just used this incident to warn Liu Ruojuan. (To be continued)
