Noble First Daughter-in-law

Another half month passed.

Everything was as usual. Su Qinglan, the imperial physician, still went to Qianqiu Palace on time every day to check for Shang Ruyi's pulse. In addition to daily military training and discussing business matters with Shen Wuzheng and the others, Yu Wenye also stayed in the palace to accompany him at other times. He even called Yu Wen every now and then. Yuan would also summon Princess Qin to the Liangyi Palace to have meals together. Such a favor could be described as an honor.

However, people are always dissatisfied.

Probably because after marrying into Yuwen's family, he rarely really stayed at home quietly. He almost always followed Yuwen Ye around. After three months of resting like this, Shang Ruyi himself couldn't sit still. He only felt that the palace around him was so quiet. The wall erected around her like a cage, causing her breathing to be suppressed and her sight to be blocked. In addition, she could only see a few people around her every day, a few faces coming and going, and some familiar and nagging words. It's really boring.

So that night, when Yu Wenye had finished taking a bath, he lay down next to her, exuding warmth, and gently held her in his arms. When the atmosphere was just right, she made a request to leave the palace for a walk.

Yu Wenye immediately frowned: "What are you doing out of the palace?"

Shang Ruyi said: "What do you think?"

Yu Wenye looked down at her with a bitter expression on her face. In fact, in the past few days, he had often heard his wife sighing. From time to time, he would sit on the edge of the bed and look at the blue sky outside, like a bird longing for freedom. Son, being familiar with her out-of-the-box personality, of course he also understood what Shang Ruyi wanted.

Then he said: "This palace is so big, isn't it big enough for you to walk around?"

Shang Ruyi said: "There are all those scenery coming and going, Thousand-step Corridor, Mountain Pool, Lingyan Pavilion... I can draw them all."

Yu Wenye pursed his lips and smiled.

In fact, with Yu Wenyuan's current love for Shang Ruyi, the request to leave the palace is not a big deal, but Yu Wenye is still worried and said: "But you are pregnant."

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Mr. Su said that it will be very stable after five months. Besides, I also rode a horse and a carriage in the first three months, and it was nothing. This child is strong."

"..."

"Besides, the academy in Changlefang is almost ready. I spent so much money, so I have to go and see it with my own eyes."

"..."

"Just tell Father."

Listening to her soft and coquettish tone, which was a bit coquettish, Yu Wenye's heart had melted a long time ago, not to mention that he asked himself that he could go out on business every day, but he had to let Shang Ruyi It is indeed unfair to be trapped in the palace.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I can go and ask my father for an order, but you have to promise me not to wander around when you go out, let alone go to crowded places."

Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said: "I know!"

Yu Wenye smiled and shook his head.

The next day he went to the Liangyi Palace in person to request an edict. Yu Wenyuan was indeed not embarrassed. He just gave him a few instructions and asked people to prepare carriages and horses. So Shang Ruyi happily rode the carriage out of the palace, and Jiang Kesheng was waiting with a team of people outside the palace gate. After picking her up, they walked all the way to Changlefang along the wide Suzaku Street.

After more than half an hour, we finally arrived.

This Changle Square is a place that Shang Ruyi has long been familiar with. Even some passers-by looked friendly. Tu Sheer carefully helped her get out of the carriage and walked into the square to see the completed school. It was indeed tall and spacious. Although it is not luxurious, it exudes a sense of elegance and elegance. There is also a school building behind the school, which is a place for students who come to study from outside the city or from afar.

Shang Ruyi followed Yu Wenxin's suggestion. Although the tuition fee of this school was much lower than that of other private schools, no matter how low it was, it still had to be charged, including the accommodation fee in the school building.

Shang Ruyi looked at it inside and out and walked out with satisfaction.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a few little heads peeking in. They were the children who lived nearby. They only had pigtails on their heads. Some of them had snot on their faces, but they had pairs of eyes. They all stared with admiration at the lady in front of them, who was covered in silk and had a head full of pearls.

Shang Ruyi smiled and waved to them. Several children shrank and only an older girl came over.

The clothes on her body were quite neat, but they were all washed white cloth. It could be seen that her family was not well off. She was also carrying a food box in her hand. The style should be the food box delivered by a nearby restaurant. The girl came over, and although she was timid, she saluted Shang Ruyi very well, obviously knowing that this noble lady had an extraordinary status.

Shang Ruyi said with a smile: "What's your name?"

The girl whispered: "Erya."

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Li."

"Is Erya a daimyo?"

"No, it's a nickname. My parents are illiterate and said that when they get rich, they will ask the fortune teller on East Street to give me a nickname."

"Are you literate?"

"I know it, but I only know the word Erya. It was taught to me by my neighbor's brother."

"Then you want to learn how to read?"

"miss you!"

The girl originally spoke timidly and in a low voice, but when she mentioned this, her tone rose a lot. She nodded vigorously to Shang Ruyi and said, "I think. My parents also said that when the academy is completed, it will be Send me to study."

After saying that, he looked behind Shang Ruyi and said softly: "Madam, they said that female students are accepted here and the tuition is only half. Is it true?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It's true."

The girl took a deep breath and said carefully: "Madam, do you keep your word?"

Shang Ruyi laughed, and Tu Sheer next to him said angrily: "Can you speak? This academy was built by our king, our wife. How can she still speak her mind?"

The girl immediately grinned.

After laughing, she took another deep breath, saluted to Shang Ruyi as if she was finally relieved, and then said: "Then I, I will continue to deliver the gifts."

"Oh, wait a minute,"

Seeing that she turned around and was about to run away, Shang Ruyi immediately stopped her and said, "Why did you give this to me?"

The girl picked up the food box in her hand and said seriously: "Earn money. My father works in a restaurant. He said good things to the boss, so that I can also deliver stand-ups to the restaurant. When I meet generous customers, I will also Give me a reward. When I get my wages at the end of the month, I can collect forty dollars."

"Forty dollars?"

"Yes, my parents also saved a lot of money for me. By then, I will be able to study!"

These words not only made Shang Ruyi feel sad and moved, but also Tu Sheer, who was not angry just now, couldn't help but feel soft. She couldn't help but glance at Shang Ruyi, as if she wanted to say something, but just now When she was about to speak, she saw Shang Ruyi shaking his head gently at her, then leaning down with difficulty, Tu Sheer hurriedly supported her.

Shang Ruyi reluctantly approached the little girl and said with a smile: "There is a book called "Erya" among the Thirteen Classics. You will read it when you have the opportunity in the future. If you want, name it "Erya". You don’t have to go to a fortune teller and you can save some money for your parents.”

"Erya...?"

The little girl blinked, as if remembering something, and said, "The brother next door seems to have this book. Is it a good book?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It's a good book."

The little girl immediately smiled and said: "Okay, thank you madam!"

After saying that, she saluted Shang Ruyi again, turned around and trotted away. From a distance, she saw a restaurant waiter coming over, pointing at her and saying: "Li Erya, don't be lazy, run away." Went out to hang out.”

The little girl ran and said loudly: "My name is Li, Er, Ya!"

While he was talking, the person had already disappeared.

Shang Ruyi slowly straightened up and looked at the little girl's back disappearing at the corner of the long street. She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. However, she heard Tu Sheer next to her let out a low sigh. She turned her head and glanced at Tu She'er. She'er looked a little reluctant and even sad, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tu Sheer glanced at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I just wanted to help this girl pay for her tuition."

"..."

"Princess, you are usually the most philanthropic, but why this time—"

She probably wanted to call Shang Ruyi "hard-hearted", but felt that she shouldn't say this. After all, she had no position. She was just surprised that if she encountered such a situation, Shang Ruyi in the past would definitely help.

Shang Ruyi naturally knew what she was thinking, but he didn't point it out immediately. He just smiled and said, "It's rare that you are so soft-hearted."

Tusheer immediately pouted and said displeasedly: "What are you saying, Princess? This servant is not soft-hearted, I just think that it is not easy for her. Didn't the Princess see it just now? Her shoes are going to be broken when I see her." I'm afraid I've traveled a lot these days."

"Oh? I really didn't pay attention to this."

"Furthermore, my servant has calculated that even if she has forty yuan, plus a drop of money from her parents, it will only be enough for one year's tuition, not to mention other expenses."

The more she talked, the more distressed she felt, and she murmured: "Princess, how about this slave help her pay for it."

Shang Ruyi smiled and shook his head, reached out and poked Tu Sheer's forehead, and said: "You are not soft-hearted at ordinary times, but you become so soft-hearted. There are so many poor people in the world, and how many people don't get what they ask for. You have seen it. You all want to help? Can you help me?"

"But--"

"I know what you mean. If you go there, I will help you. However, the prince's words yesterday gave me a wake-up call."

"Reminded of what?"

"Many times, people don't value things that are easily obtained. It's a good thing that this girl wants to learn, but many things have to be let nature take its course. Helping a person too much may not be a good thing." He blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and said softly: "That's right."

Shang Ruyi smiled again and said: "But it is indeed rare to have such a girl who is dedicated to studying, and she should not sit idly by. In this way, when the time comes, tell the steward of the academy and ask him to pay more attention to this child and give her a pair of shoes. Bar."

As she said that, she sighed: "I'm afraid giving a pair of shoes is more useful than giving a bunch of money."

The master and the servant walked around the academy twice more and asked the gardener to plant orchids and asparagus on both sides of the hall. Seeing that it was getting late, they left here.

However, they did not return to the palace immediately. According to Shang Ruyi, they finally made a trip out. No matter what, they had to eat out. Although the food in Shangshi Bureau was good, it became a bit boring after eating it for a while. , he took Tu Sheer to Shenjuan Pavilion, asked for a quiet private room, and sat down comfortably.

Tu Sheer, on the other hand, said uneasily: "Princess, let's go back."

Shang Ruyi glared at her displeasedly: "Why are you going back so early?"

"There are many people outside, what if they crowd you?"

"Aren't you and Jiang Kesheng here? Besides, there are no people in this building. Who can squeeze me? Don't worry about it."

Shang Ruyi rarely came out, so he couldn't listen to her chattering, so he opened the window to look at the scenery. Before, you could only see both sides of the street when you walked on the street, but now you can see half of Chang'an city from above this three-story building. Not only can you see the square layout of the street market, but you can also see the crowds of people underneath. Because they are wearing various hats and headscarves, they are like colorful beetles squirming in the street market.

Shang Ruyi found it interesting and called Tusheer to come and take a look.

Tu Sheer stood beside her and looked down. He couldn't help but laugh. He pointed at this one and said: "Princess, look, this person's hair is about to fall out." Then he pointed at another one and said: " Why is that man’s hat so green?”

The master and servant watched for a while, and the store delivered the dishes they ordered.

Shang Ruyi was about to turn around and sit down to eat, but when he finally glanced down, he suddenly saw a familiar figure getting off the carriage, dusting off his clothes and walking into Shenjuan Pavilion.

That is--

She immediately closed the window and sat down.

Tusheer looked at her with a strange expression. After sending away the waiter, he came closer and whispered: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Shang Ruyi said nothing, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside, and the waiter of the shop was seen leading a jade tree Linfeng figure through their private room, while nodding and bending, he smiled and said: "Young Master , this is it.”

"what?"

Although I was just passing by their door, and the door was covered with layers of bead curtains, so I couldn't clearly see the appearance of the people outside, but because the figure was so familiar, Tusheer recognized it with just a glance. Seeing some clues, he subconsciously opened his eyes.

Shang Ruyi shook his head at her, and Tusheer immediately shut his mouth.

Then, I heard the footsteps stopping outside the private room next door.

Immediately, there was a crackling sound, and someone stretched out his hand to lift the bead curtain. The waiter also had a look, and stepped away with a smile. There was a moment of silence outside.

Shang Ruyi and Tu Sheer also held their breath subconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard another crackling sound. Someone walked into the private room and lowered the bead curtain.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice said: "This young master is here."

As soon as this voice sounded, both Shang Ruyi and Tusheer took a deep breath subconsciously. The master and servant looked at each other, but neither of them spoke, because everyone could tell that the owner of this voice was no one else. , none other than Pei Xingyuan!

He actually came to Shenjuan Pavilion again?

Does he come here to eat by himself, or wants to treat guests, or—

Just as Shang Ruyi was thinking about it, a barely familiar voice rang out from the private room next door. Shang Ruyi had a good memory, and he remembered as soon as he heard it that it was the person who had met them before at Pei's house. The voice of Jiang Wei's cousin Liang Youying.

She said stiffly: "Please sit down."

Shang Ruyi remembered that Yu Wenye had told her before that Su Qinglan once hosted a dinner in Shenjuan Pavilion, mainly to resolve the conflict between Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying. It was not a big deal, it was the first time Liang Youying met. They were beaten, but even in such an occasion and banquet, the two people seemed to still have a fight.

Shang Ruyi only listened to the story between the two of them as a romance.

Who would have thought that today, I would actually bump into him!

She was a little embarrassed for a moment. Although she didn't mean to do it, she happened to run into a scene where two people were meeting, making it seem like she was really peeking into someone's privacy.

She hesitated and wanted to leave, but the food and wine had just been put down, so how could she just leave?

And just when Shang Ruyi and Tu Sheer were facing each other awkwardly, and had not yet figured out how to deal with the situation in front of them, Pei Xingyuan's voice came from the next door across the wall, and he only heard him say "Hey". , he must have sat down, and then lazily said: "I'm sitting down. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"..."

"You have nothing to say?"

"..."

"Why did you invite me here if you have nothing to say? My time is very precious!"

Liang Youying was silent for a long time. He didn't know whether it was because of shyness or awkwardness, or for some other reason. But as soon as he heard Pei Xingyuan's last words, he immediately spoke and said coldly: "Of course I can't afford to waste Mr. Pei's time. I don’t want to delay it, it was my cousin who asked me to treat you to this drink to make amends to you, if Mr. Pei doesn’t want to, you don’t have to come.”

"Hey, there's a drink, why don't I come?"

After a pause, Shang Ruyi couldn't see it, but he could probably imagine that Pei Xingyuan picked up the wine glass that the other party had prepared and started drinking without any politeness at all. Sure enough, he heard a soft sigh in just a moment. Youzaiyouzai's voice sounded again: "Well, good wine."

Liang Youying said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Pei Xingyuan said again: "Hey, if you're going to treat me to a guest and apologize, you should say a few words. If you don't say anything, what kind of apology is that?"

"It was my cousin who asked me to treat me to apologize. I don't think I really did anything wrong."

"you--"

Pei Xingyuan was obviously about to get angry again, but he didn't know whether he thought of something to suppress his anger, or whether he knew how to get angry in front of Liang Youying and was just preparing for the next injury. He didn't say anything after all. He just stayed quiet for a long time before speaking again. When I spoke, there was already a bit of anger in my voice.

"Humph, you still listen to your cousin."

"Don't you also listen to my cousin-in-law?"

"I was - wait, what cousin? Who is your cousin?"

"Miss Su."

"Su Qinglan married your cousin and called her cousin? Don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air!"

"Why are you so nervous? Miss Su will definitely marry my fourth cousin, so don't just join in the fun. I invited you here today just to make this matter clear to you!"

"you--"

There was a lively noise next door, and even though they didn't want to hear it, Shang Ruyi and Tusheer still heard all these words clearly.

In the end, Shang Ruyi was really embarrassed to continue "eavesdropping". After all, don't listen to indecent comments. As Princess Qin, she shouldn't do such a thing of peeking into people's privacy, even if she was "forced", so she gathered together the picture She'er whispered a few instructions in her ear, asking her to go down and ask the waiter to come back and pack all the untouched food and wine in food boxes to take away. Tu Sheer didn't dare to neglect and went down in a hurry.

Just when she walked out, a person walked out from the private room next to theirs.

The man was tall and tall in rich embroidered robes, and looked very majestic. However, after leaving the private room, he was secretive and walked out with his head lowered. Just as he was going downstairs, he met Tushe, who was leading the waiter upstairs. The child passed by.

When the waiter saw the distinguished guest, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Is the guest leaving now?"

The man gave a low "hmm" and hurriedly walked downstairs. The waiter did not dare to neglect at all. He stood at the top of the stairs and shouted down: "Dear guest, please go slowly and come back next time!"

The man hurriedly walked out of Shenjuan Pavilion.

Tusheer didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was still worried about Pei Xingyuan. If they saw Princess Qin next door, if nothing else, the character of the princess would be underestimated, so he urged the waiter to come up Upstairs.

The waiter entered the private room and was about to ask. Shang Ruyi was afraid that his voice would disturb the people next door, so she waved her hands hurriedly. Tusheer immediately whispered: "Don't yell so loudly. Our wife Wang - is not feeling well and is not here." It’s time to eat. Please pack it up for us and we’ll take it away, and you won’t be short of reward.”

The waiter at the shop saw that Shang Ruyi had a big belly and said that she was not feeling well. For fear of delaying her, she did not dare to talk nonsense. He hurriedly came forward and quickly packed all the food and wine on the table and put them in the food box. After seeing Tu She'er, She'er paid for the food and drinks and gave him a lot of reward money. The waiter didn't say thank you loudly, he just nodded and bowed, his eyes were bent with joy.

The master and servant walked out of the private room quietly.

When they left, Pei Xingyuan's displeased voice came from the private room next door: "Your cousin is a treasure, so you should obey him in everything. Are you going to marry someone like your cousin in the future?" of?"

Liang Youying said angrily: "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful and I'll beat you up!"

The master and servant did not dare to listen anymore and hurriedly went downstairs.

Just when they walked out of Shenjuan Pavilion, they saw Jiang Kesheng and his men driving a carriage waiting at the door, and Shang Ruyi was about to board the carriage. When they turned around, they saw Tu Sheer looking at the other side of the long street in a daze, Shang Ruyi Following her gaze, a carriage turned around at the end of the long street and disappeared.

Shang Ruyi turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Tu Sheer withdrew his gaze, looked at her again, and murmured with a puzzled look on his face: "Just now, that person looked familiar."

Today, two chapters are merged into one chapter
