Resourceful beauty

Chapter 19 Calculation
There are not many people who really know what happened in the prison in Funan City.

Zhu Yaozu and Liu Ping were already killed that day, although Eunuch Tang knew about it, but this matter involved the young lady of Prince Qi's mansion, I'm afraid he would rather let this matter die in his stomach, and only Hu Jing and the people of Hu's mansion will be left.

Now King Qi has been able to appeal his grievances, and he has taken the post of a mighty general. Although the meaning is somewhat unclear at the moment, no one can tell what it will be like in the future. How dare Hu Jing speak out about those things at this point?

In addition, those who vaguely know about this matter are only guessing, and they dare not speak nonsense.

Fang Ruxuan didn't say anything, and no one dared to mention this matter. Under such circumstances, Fang Ruyu just wanted to inquire about what happened at that time, and she probably had no way to do it.

However, Su Yuan soon found out about Fang Ruyu's actions.

Su Yuan wanted to know what happened to Fang Ruxuan more than anyone else.

The first person who went out with Ding Xiang didn't take long, and soon, the second person went towards Jiangbei.

Fang Ruxuan was unaware of all this.

Soon, it will be the Lantern Festival.

When she got up early to pay her respects at Yixin Hall, Su Yuan had a rare kindness.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. I heard that every year on this day, the four streets in southeast, southeast, northwest are as beautiful as a fairyland. Let's go out to enjoy the lanterns tonight."

After Su Yuan finished speaking, she looked back at Fang Ruyu with a smile and said, "Didn't you accept Miss Qiu's message and make an appointment to go to the temple fair together? Get ready earlier, don't be rude."

In the past, Su Yuan and Fang Ruyu wouldn't pay attention to the invitations from other people's mansions, but now it's not the same as in the past, these dignitaries in the capital have to deal with them.

From then on, there are only you and Ruhui as the daughters of Prince Qi's mansion. As for you...

Thinking of Fang Ruxuan's previous ugliness again, Fang Ruyu's smiling eyes slid across Fang Ruxuan's face.

Fang Ruxuan didn't care what Fang Ruyu was thinking or remembered. After Su Yuan finished speaking, she focused all her attention on the three words "Miss Qiu".

If you guessed right, Miss Qiu, it's Qiu Shumin, right?

After a month, is it finally time to see that domineering face again?But this time, I am no longer Ruyi, and you, I am afraid, are not that lofty Miss Qiu either.

Facing Fang Ruyu's slightly satisfied smile, Fang Ruxuan smiled back with a look of disapproval.

Fang Ruyu was taken aback for a moment: the stupid young master in the prime minister's mansion threatened to marry her as his wife, and even the people in the market were saying that the prime minister was so cruel that he must marry Fang Ruxuan back to his son as his wife and concubine. There was an uproar, could it be that she had forgotten it?

In a blink of an eye, Fang Ruyu looked at Su Yuan with a slight smile, "Mother, Miss Qiu is a very easy-going person, I think, with a few younger sisters, whether it's watching the lanterns or guessing crossword puzzles, we can all do it together." Partner, what do you say?"

Guessing what her daughter was thinking, Su Yuan pretended not to know and nodded, "That's fine."

After dinner, it was just dark, and the five sisters Fang Ruyu went out with the maid and the guards who followed from afar.

Although it was already night, the main streets were brightly lit, and the vendors on the street were shouting loudly, and the lanterns hanging everywhere were even more dazzling.

There was something on their minds, so sisters Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui didn't put their minds on the lanterns at all. The carriage galloped all the way and stopped in front of Huixian Tower.

Huixian Tower is the best-known tea house on the East Street of Beijing.

Going up the stairs to the fifth floor, in the private room named "Peony Hall", Qiu Shumin and several other ladies were talking and laughing happily.

When Fang Ruyu and others came in, the room was quiet for a moment, and then it became more lively than before.

They are all young ladies from powerful families in the capital, and their grandfather's father's official position is not much worse than that of Qiu Mansion, not to mention, they all met at Prince Qi's Mansion a few days ago.

Sisters Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui are like ducks in water.

Fang Ruhua's face was calm, but there was a little inferiority in her eyes. Fang Ruxuan, who was beside her, walked to the window contentedly, and opened the window.

The fifth floor is the top floor, overlooking the window, the scenery is excellent, not to mention the extraordinary today, overlooking the whole market like a winding dragon, it is indescribably beautiful.

"Sister Ruxuan is so at ease..."

A crisp voice sounded in her ear, Fang Ruxuan frowned lightly, put on a smile, turned her head to meet the face that disgusted her so much, "Miss Qiu..."

At this time, Qiu Shumin was only ten years old, but she was smart since she was a child. Even in Jiangbei, Fang Ruxuan had heard of her reputation as a talented woman many times.What's more, Fang Ruxuan knew better than others how Fang Ruxuan had spent five years in Wutong Garden in her previous life, how the Qiu family had painstakingly trained Qiu Shumin.

Qiu Shumin was from the Qiu family who planned to send her to the palace to be a concubine in the future.

Although she was only ten years old, Qiu Shumin at this time could already see a bit of beauty, not to mention that Buddha relies on gold clothes and people rely on clothes. Her clothes are very good, and the jewelry on her hands is not something you can see in ordinary shops , adding a bit of bright and moving temperament.

"I haven't seen you in two years. How is Sister Ruxuan? A few days ago, I went to Prince Qi's Mansion with my mother. I heard that Sister Ruxuan is inconvenient to meet guests because of the cold. How is Sister Ruxuan?"

As if she had a very good relationship with Fang Ruxuan, Qiu Shumin's words were full of concern.

"Miss Laoqiu is concerned, I'm fine."

Fang Ruxuan's attitude was polite and distant.

But Qiu Shumin didn't care at all, and still talked about interesting things in the capital with Fang Ruxuan on his own. Looks best on what patterned satin or something.

However, Fang Ruxuan was very careful. She knew that Qiu Shumin would not come and say such boring things to her for no reason.

Sure enough, after a while, someone noticed Qiu Shumin and Fang Ruxuan standing in front of the window.After all, the person who posted the post was Qiu Shumin, and she is today's master.

"Miss Qiu and Miss Fang Liu are very familiar?"

Among the people who approached, Du Mingzhu who had a good relationship with Qiu Shumin asked suspiciously.

Without nodding or shaking her head, she just looked at Fang Ruxuan with starry eyes, Qiu Shumin pursed her lips and smiled, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more playful and charming.

This appearance, although nothing has been said, is even more intriguing.

For a moment, the young ladies in the house had already thought of the incident that caused a commotion in the capital during the Chinese New Year the year before last.

Seeing that she hadn't done anything yet, and things were going in the expected direction, Fang Ruyu was overjoyed.

Standing behind Fang Ruxuan, Su Ye blushed anxiously when she saw that the gentle and quiet ladies beside her were whispering like gossip women.

Fang Ruxuan smiled, glanced at Du Mingzhu, Fang looked at Qiu Shumin and said: "Miss Qiu loves the house and Wu, because of my sister, she treats Ruxuan differently, and Ruxuan is very grateful. But the matter of children is not something we can speculate at will. If something is accidentally spread and tarnishes the reputation of my sister, it is not something the Qiu family can take care of. Therefore, I hope that Miss Qiu will be careful when she speaks, so as not to offend people."

After finishing speaking, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and walked to another window.

From the beginning to the end, what Qiu Shumin hated the most was Fang Ruxuan's aloof appearance who looked down upon nothing. Seeing her just hanging herself in place like this, as if she couldn't avoid her, the smile on Qiu Shumin's face was just that... froze.

But what did her words mean?
Fang Ruxuan provoked her second brother, and her father also said cruelly that she must hire the young lady from Prince Qi's mansion to be her second brother's wife and concubine. Could it be that Fang Ruxuan wasn't the one her father wanted?

For a while, Qiu Shumin was a little confused.

The second elder brother Qiu Ming is now 15 years old, whether it is grandparents, fathers or mothers, they have been thinking about telling the second elder brother about their marriage, so they just waited for the elder brother's marriage to be finalized, and they had to make a fuss about it. The second brother said kiss.

From the perspective of age, only Fang Ruyu is the right age for Qiu Ming in Prince Qi's mansion. Could it be that she is the one your father is looking for?

Looking back at Fang Ruyu, Qiu Shumin was a little uncertain.

The people who originally planned to watch Fang Ruxuan's jokes turned their suspicious eyes from Fang Ruxuan to Fang Ruyu, and their eyes became more excited.

Fang Ruyu, who was talking to Fang Ruhui with her head down, looked around at Fang Ruxuan, then at Qiu Shumin, not knowing what she had missed, but her heart was beating suddenly, with some bad premonition.

"What did you say?"

Standing up, Fang Ruyu looked at Qiu Shumin with searching eyes, and said with a smile: "Shu Min, but what did my sixth sister say that made you unhappy? She has a cold temper, and she is also like this at home. Don't take it to heart." go."

As she said that, Fang Ruyu assumed the steady look of a senior elder sister again, turned her head to Fang Ruxuan and said, "Sixth sister, Miss Qiu is younger than you no matter what, if you say something wrong, come and apologize, otherwise, father Mother will not forgive you if she finds out."

It looked like Fang Ruxuan was not valued by others in the palace.

Fang Ruxuan lowered her head, seemingly unwilling, after a while, she raised her eyes to Qiu Shumin and said, "No matter what, she is my elder sister. Ms. Qiu will never talk about such things in front of others."

Just don't intend to admit mistakes.

Fang Ruyu was a little annoyed, but before she opened her mouth, Qiu Shumin on the side had already smoothed things over and said, "Sister Ruyu, don't be angry, Miss Six didn't mess with me, we were just joking."

Fang Ruyu frowned and glared at Fang Ruxuan, smiled and took Qiu Shumin's hand, turned around and sat at the round table.

On one side is the affectionate "Sister Ruyu", and on the other side is the polite "Miss Six". Reminiscent of the rumors in the past, the other ladies in the private room seem to have noticed something, and their eyebrows are very lively.

Noticing everyone's small movements, Fang Ruxuan turned around and looked out the window again.

From the corner of the eye, Su Ye's eyes blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

The two masters and servants looked at each other, their faces full of triumphant smiles.

　Cough cough, forecast, the next chapter, someone is going to be unlucky...
