Chapter 35 Gao Yan Gao Shan
The atmosphere in the Tingfeng Hall became quiet, except for the crisp tinkling of the wind chimes. Li Ruyue was almost unable to maintain her posture under the mocking eyes, but was squeezed away by Han Lin's round body and let out a low cry.

Han Lin arrogantly looked down at the person who made her grit her teeth for a few days, and said contemptuously, "Why don't you talk? I heard that you have never stepped out of your mother's yard for three years. I'm afraid you're just being silly inside?"

The sharp and piercing voice was really disturbing and disturbed the appetite. Li Ru'an put down his chopsticks, took the cup in Xuegu's hand and took a sip, covered his mouth and spit it out into the small tea cup, picked up the round purple sand cup, and blew slowly. After taking a sip of the mellow Yulong tea, he put down the teacup and put his hands in the small porcelain basin brought by Ziyan to get slightly wet.

"Could it be that it's dumb? Or is your tutor in the Li family like this?" Han Lin was so jealous by the shaved fingers, and even more so angry by her attitude of turning a blind eye, she raised her voice, attracting some aristocratic families. The young lady frowned in disgust and discussed in a low voice.

Li Ru'an wiped his hands, finally turned his head and gave her a glance, looked her up and down, his red lips parted slightly, "Don't talk when you eat and sleep, didn't your family teach you?"

There were a few laughing voices around, Han Lin usually relies on her father Han Zong's high position, is known to be arrogant and domineering, and she learns from others to teach others to behave, but now she is blocked with a simple sentence, really Very happy.

"It's better than your family! You, a concubine, say everywhere outside that you are vulgar and don't understand etiquette, and today I see that it is indeed the case!" Han Lin blushed and had a thick neck at the glance of the fluttering, and became angry from embarrassment.

"Han Lin, you're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Li Ruyue was watching the play with cold eyes, when the fire suddenly burned her body, she shook her head and said with a few contemptuous gazes.

"No wonder, your mother died a long time ago, and her mother is now Mrs. Li's family. I'm afraid you wouldn't dare say anything? Tsk tsk!" Han Lin smiled triumphantly, and covered her mouth pretending to be sympathetic.

Li Ru'an suddenly stood up leisurely, took a step forward, half-closed her pink eyes, stared at Han Lin who was half a head shorter than her, and said in a cold voice, "Your tutor in the Han family is to teach you to talk about death at will. people?"

Mingming's voice was sweet and pleasant, but it caused the people around him to be inexplicably chilled. Han Lin was the first to bear the brunt of it. She took two steps back, swallowed her saliva, and opened her mouth to speak , "I, I'm not wrong, your mother just died of a short life, you..."

"Han Lin, shut up!"

"Fatty! How dare you bully my sister!"

Two voices, one elegant and the other clear, came one after another, and everyone saw a figure in red rushing up the stairs, slamming into Han Lin with lightning speed, and with a bang, Han Lin was knocked down to the ground, wailing The pearls and emeralds all over his head fell to the ground, and he was in a panic.

"An'an!" A tall woman in a lavender blouse and dark purple long skirt stepped forward quickly, grabbed Li Ru'an's hand, and shouted joyfully.

"Big cousin?" Li Ru'an was slightly surprised to find a familiar face from memory.

"Hey, it's my cousin!" Gao Yan looked at her with joy and excitement.

"Ah! Gao Shan, you dare to hit me!" Here, Han Lin, who was riding on Gao Shan, covered her face and struggled, screaming sharply.

"I hit you! Fat man! How dare you bully An An? You still call my aunt? I hit you until you turn into a pig!" work hard.

"Second cousin, it's okay." Li Ru'an smiled and said lightly.

"Huh! You're still arrogant!" Gao Shan stopped her hands and stood up, took a sip, brushed her hair, turned around and rushed towards Li Ru'an to hug her, "An'an, you want to kill me!"

"Ouch! Blood!" Han Lin was lifted up by the belated servant, covered her swollen face, and cried out. Then she felt her nose itchy, touched the blood on her hand, and screamed.

"Gao Shan! How dare you hit me! I will tell my father to sue His Majesty, you are dead!"

"Ha! Tell me! You think I'm afraid of you? You bullied my sister first, and then insulted my aunt. Are you justified? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up again?" Gao Shan raised her fist at her with big eyes. stared at her fiercely.

"Han Lin, everyone here is watching you do evil. It's obvious to all. It's fine for you to be domineering in the past, but if you insult the dead, you should beat them! If you want to sue the emperor, just sue. My Gao family will not Make trouble, but never be afraid of trouble! Stay with me to the end!" Gao Yan raised her head and looked down at Han Lin, with anger on her soft and beautiful face, and said coldly.

"Hey, wait, hiss, it hurts! Woo!" Han Lin felt her cheeks and mouth swell rapidly, numb and tingling, she couldn't hold back her tears, slurred her words, it was so funny, she was so anxious The servant helped him downstairs.

The girls from various families in the hall are still talking about it, looking this way from time to time, Gao Yan walked to the center, slightly bent her knees, gracefully and calmly said, "Everyone, today's conflict was caused by Han Lin's rudeness, which disturbed everyone But it is related to the reputation of our women, Gao Yan hereby asks everyone to be less critical, less speculative, less rumored, I wonder if you think it is feasible?"

Gao Yan was twenty years old, generous and steady, knowledgeable and courteous, although she was not married, she was loved by the empress dowager, she was often summoned to the palace to accompany her, and it was an honor for noble ladies in Beijing to hold poetry collections and gatherings. Dare to offend easily, the young ladies around got up and bowed their knees to return the salute, each went back to their seats, and the discussion became quieter.

"I don't care about her, if she dares to come again, I'll beat her up again!" Gao Shan didn't care, turned to look at Li Ru'an, excitedly, "An'an, you've become so beautiful!"

"An'an, why did you come out?" Gao Yan pulled people, looked at the cousin she hadn't seen for many years, her eyes were a little red, three years since her aunt left, how many letters have been handed by the Gao family into Li's mansion, no one has seen her Responding to a few words, I was told countless times when I came to the door that Li's parents and daughters kept their filial piety behind closed doors and did not see anyone.

Seeing Gao Yan present and Gao Shan who is famously not afraid of death, Tan Qiu and the two of them didn't dare to say anything more, they went back to their seats, while Li Ruyue moved lightly, bowed his knees, and said softly, " Yue'er has seen two cousins."

There was a moment of silence in the Tingfeng Hall, which had returned to peace, and several astonished eyes drifted over. Tan Qiu and the two looked at each other, frowning, with an expression of embarrassment.

"Miss Li, you and I don't know each other well. You should call me Miss Gao. Today, Han Lin made trouble, do you think it was you who provoked it?" Gao Yan, who was usually gentle and decent, was interrupted. It was rare to stare at someone with a black face, and his tone was cold.

"How could it be my sister who picked the trouble? It's just that the elder sister doesn't speak, so of course the younger sister has to argue for the elder sister and the Li family. You are wrong to blame Yue'er." Li Ruyue opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, wanting to cry.

"Li Ruyue, why didn't I realize that you are so thick-skinned? Did you forget what Han Lin said just now? My cousin is a dignified daughter of the Li family. Do you need a concubine to defend the reputation of the Li family? That fat man With strong limbs and a simple mind, if you weren't provoking me here, would she have targeted my cousin for no reason? You still have the face to pretend here, do you want it?"

Gao Shan doesn't have the good temper and good image of her cousin sister. Her father Gao Kun said, don't be polite when dealing with this kind of duplicity.
"Gao Shan! You are vulgar and rude!" No one would feel better being pointed at and scolded like this, let alone Li Ruyue, who cared the most about being a concubine. She slapped Gao Shan's hand away, blushing angrily.

"I'm vulgar, I think. It's better than you pretending to be elegant and generous all day long. Don't you feel tired? As for being rude, well, it depends on who you are facing. Like you, you have a honeyed belly and a sword. You can't bear the courtesy of my Gao Shan!" Gao Shan shook her hand, as if throwing something dirty, and swore back confidently, she had never lost in a fight!

"Miss Li, as a concubine, you have often talked about the rights and wrongs of the eldest sister at the Yaji Poetry Conference in the past. My cousin is pure and filial, and doesn't care about you. It doesn't mean that you can get ahead and do anything wrong! She There is my Gao family behind me, and I, Gao Yan, swear here today that Gao Yan will not go to any gatherings where you, Li Ruyue, appear in the future!"

Gao Yan's words were straight and round, her face was serious and she flicked her sleeves, and she shouted loudly with the momentum like a rainbow.

Li Ru'an was pulled to sit down by Gao Yan long ago, raised her jade wrist lightly, rested her chin leisurely, and looked at Li Ruyue who was blushing and speechless, amused, isn't this stupid, provoking Han Lin to come over to find fault, but was laughed at instead As a concubine, she didn't hurry to slip away after the matter was over, and even came here to identify her relatives in order to show her decency and courtesy, asking for trouble, what else could she be if she wasn't stupid.

"Cousin, don't get angry, sit down and talk." The farce ended, and Li Ruan smiled and said, "Nurse, remove these cold dishes and order some snacks. I'm not full yet."

"Yes, miss." Xue Gu pushed Li Ruyue away with a rather proud attitude, her steps brisk.

"You guys!" Li Ruyue, who had been scolded for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time, gritted her teeth. Seeing the three of them sat down and talked by themselves, they ignored her as if she was transparent. Going to the seat, Tan Qiu and the two had already left, she stomped her feet resentfully, faced the cynicism and sarcasm of the audience, turned around and went downstairs quickly.

Under the glazed wind chimes, the plain-clothed girl has an unmistakable complexion, slender bones and wrists, holding the purple sand pot with onion-like jade fingers, taps it lightly into the small round teacup, slightly rising and falling, the tea color is golden, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Gao Yan took the teacup presented by Li Ru'an, took a sip, and said with a gentle smile, "I used to think that An'an was like my father, but now that I've grown up, I look more like a father and daughter than my own daughter."

"Uncle An An is not as good-looking as An An..." Gao Shan was fascinated, stared at Li Ru'an closely, shook her head and sighed, "An An, how did you grow up, how do you let other women live!"

"The two cousins ​​spoke uprightly, and thank you for replacing wine with tea." Li Ru'an raised a smile, with white teeth, and long eyelashes that were slightly curved, sparkling and moving.

"Thank you, An An has become more polite. Tell my cousin, how have you been in the past three years? My father and I have been to Li's Mansion many times and wanted to visit you, but they were all rejected. How many letters were sent in?" I didn't see any response, An An, I don't believe you don't miss us, is there any reason?" Gao Yan's eyes were full of tears, her heart ached.
