Resourceful beauty

Chapter 61 Sisters
On August 26, Fang Ruxuan received a message from the Chen family.

Chen Mei has arrived in Beijing.

"Lilac, go find the piece of tribute ink that you got last time."

Looking through the prepared congratulatory gifts, Fang Ruxuan still felt that it was not enough. Thinking that Chen Mei likes to practice calligraphy and is famous in Jiangbei for her plum blossom small script, Fang Ruxuan raised her voice and said to Ding Xiang.

"Miss, you can't add any more. Your ceremony is even heavier than the one the princess gave to the Chen Mansion last time. If it gets out, it will make people laugh."

Ding Xiang repeatedly persuaded.

Fang Ruxuan glanced at the large and small boxes on the table, hesitated for a while, and finally listened to Ding Xiang's persuasion.

The next day, after greeting Su Yuan, Fang Ruxuan took Ding Xiang to the Chen Mansion.

Chen's residence is not far from Su's residence, within half an hour, Fang Ruxuan arrived at Guanhetang where Mrs. Chen lived.

Compared with the big families in the capital, the Chen Mansion has a relatively simpler population.

Mrs. Chen has three sons and two daughters, among them, the uncle and the second master are descendants.

Now Mrs. Chen lives with the big house.

Mr. Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Chen Mei's father is the second child. After passing the Jinshi examination, he found a job abroad, and he has been the governor of Fuyang until now.

The third master of the Chen family was a donated official, and later he also conspired to be released to other places, so the population of the Chen family in the capital is not complicated.

In the main room of Guanhetang, the kind-hearted Mrs. Chen was talking to several granddaughters-in-law. When she heard that Fang Ruxuan was coming, Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Mei beside her and said, "This Princess Xuanyi is a lovely person. Since I came back Beijing, whenever she goes to Su Mansion to visit her grandmother, she will come to see me and say that she will respect me as her grandmother."

Chen Mei smiled coquettishly: "Grandmother, sister Ruxuan and I love each other as sisters. She must be thinking that her granddaughter will not be filial if she is not with you, so she said that."

While speaking, Fang Ruxuan entered the main room.

After meeting Mrs. Chen and greeting Chen Mei's sisters-in-law, Fang Ruxuan was pulled by Chen Mei to sit down.

After more than half a year of separation, both of them have changed a lot, especially Fang Ruxuan, who is much taller and looks bright and cheerful.

Seeing that the two kept talking non-stop, knowing that they had a lot of personal things to say, Mrs. Chen drove them away with a smile, "Go, go, go talk in Mei girl's room."

Chen Mei lived in Qingliu Pavilion in the west wing of the third entrance, and when she entered the house, as soon as Chen Meifu sat down, Fang Ruxuan saluted solemnly.

Knowing that Fang Ruxuan was thanking her for saving Jin Abacus that day, Chen Mei squinted at her resentfully, "Our good sisters for so many years, you have only been back in Beijing for less than a year, and you are going to have a divorce with me?"

Fang Ruxuan took Chen Mei's arm and sat down together, and said with some emotion: "Sister Mei, when I think about it now, I really feel that I was really a newborn calf at that time and I was not afraid of tigers. Since Old Man Jin was imprisoned by Hu Jing , must be a very important person, but I actually begged my sister to help me rescue the old man Jin. I only need to think that if something goes wrong, it will bring unimaginable disaster to my sister and the Chen family , I am uneasy.”

Chen Mei patted Fang Ruxuan's back reassuringly, "Since you entrusted me with it, you naturally believe that I have a solution, why? Do you suspect that I don't have such ability?"

Naturally, Fang Ruxuan would not doubt it, but Chen Mei was only a 15-year-old girl after all, and she was in the cabinet. Such a thing was tantamount to heaven for her.

Knowing Fang Ruxuan's thoughts, Chen Mei comforted her with a smile, "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think."

With that said, Chen Mei told Fang Ruxuan what happened that day carefully.

People say that the King of Hades is easy to deal with little ghosts. Hu Jing has locked Jin Suan in the big prison in Funan City for more than two years, and he has never made a mistake. In the first more than a year, Hu Jing sent people to look at it from time to time. Later, he simply ignored it. If it wasn't for fear of being useful in the future, Jin Suan would have been executed long ago.

After Zhu Yaozu left, Wang Gui who had helped Fang Ruxuan back then became the prison boss.

There was Fang Ruxuan asking Lilac to send the money, and Wang Gui was cooperating with others in the prison. It didn't take long to find a dead man who was similar in stature and appearance to Jin Suan.

What happened later was the most important part of Fang Ruxuan's plan for the day.

Changing that person into the appearance of Jin Abacus, Wang Gui surreptitiously changed Jin Abacus out of the cell.

When the subordinates reported that Jin Suansu was dead, Hu Jing rushed to the cell again, and the dead body was already stinking, and his face was completely changed after being bitten by mosquitoes and flies.

Although Hu Jing was a little annoyed, but Jin Suan was already very old, and birth, old age, sickness and death are natural phenomena, so he had to order someone to sweep the body with broken grass and throw it to the mass grave.

After a while, when Hu Jing realized that something was wrong, everything had been settled, not even the body on the mass grave could be found.

Although the guards guarding the prisoner were all punished, but no one pleaded guilty, this matter could only be let go in the end, but as long as those people know that Jin Suansu is not dead, Fang Ruxuan will always have worries.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

Knowing that Jin Suan has changed his face now, he is the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai, and Fang Ruxuan is also responsible for taking care of his retirement, Chen Mei asked with concern.

Fang Ruxuan shrugged, "Hu Jing won't be able to find him in the capital for a while. As for the future, he can only walk for a day, but I don't think Hu Jing has the guts to go to the capital to arrest people." of."

As long as Jin Abacus lives in this world for a day, Hu Jing and the person behind him will have to fight in fear for a day. During this period, King Qi will not be idle. means of restraining them.

Of course, we don't know how long it will be.

Mentioning these things inevitably made her feel heavy. Fang Ruxuan changed the subject and asked Chen Mei, "Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen regard you as a jewel in their palm, so why would they let you run for the election?"

As long as they are parents who really love their daughter, they will not want their daughter to enter the palace. Although there is a wall between them, if they want to meet again in their lifetime, it may be more difficult than going to heaven.

Hearing this, Chen Mei immediately changed her face, "It was my uncle who reported it."

The eldest son of the Chen family did not have a daughter of the right age, so Chen Shangshu directly reported Chen Mei's name. When Chen Mei's father found out, there was no room for change.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite..."

Thinking of Mrs. Chen's amiable appearance when she came to Chen's residence a few times ago, Fang Ruxuan sighed infinitely.

Turning around, Chen Mei said with some disappointment, "Ruxuan, I don't want to be elected."

Having said that, Chen Mei knew that the possibility of being selected was extremely high.

This is the second draft of Emperor Rui'an after he ascended the throne, and the draft is not really based on the selection of the woman he likes according to the Holy Majesty's wishes, but mostly based on the woman's family background.

Chen Mei's uncle is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and her father is the governor. It is really difficult for Chen Mei not to be selected.

Fang Ruxuan has no such worries.

In the previous life, Chen Mei also failed the election. As for the reason, Fang Ruxuan didn't know, but Fang Ruxuan vaguely remembered that Chen Mei married into a scholarly family in Jiangbei in her previous life.

Naturally, Fang Ruxuan didn't want Chen Mei to be selected, so she held Chen Mei's hand and patted it. Fang Ruxuan persuaded softly, "Don't worry, God will do what you wish."

Chen Mei was still full of sadness.

On that day, because of Chen Mei's begging, Fang Ruxuan stayed in Chen's residence and lived with Chen Mei in Qingliu Pavilion.

To Chen Mei, the two sisters hadn't seen each other for more than a year, but to Fang Ruxuan, not only were they separated by two lifetimes, but also by many years.

That night, the two sisters fell asleep on their feet and had a lot of whispers.

The next day, Fang Ruxuan was about to go back to the palace after having lunch in the Chen residence. When she went out, she met a maid from the Qiu residence who came to deliver a post to Chen Mei.

Qiu Shumin held a banquet at home, and invited ladies from various famous families to her home.

Among the beauties in the capital, the one who likes to entertain guests the most, if Qiu Shumin is called the second, absolutely no one would dare to be the first.

Chen Mei was a little reluctant to go, but she couldn't lose her manners. Fang Ruxuan coaxed her with a smile, "At that time, let's talk together and just ignore her. Presumably she won't invite us next time."

On the day of the appointment, Fang Ruxuan found out that, except for a few good friends on weekdays, the other people Qiu Shumin invited were all young ladies who were going to enter the palace this time to participate in the election.

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help feeling that Qiu Shumin was really good at dancing.

No matter who these people are elected, they will be nobles in the palace from now on, and Qiu Shumin was originally trained by the Qiu family to be sent to the palace, so it is beneficial and not harmful for her to make friends with these people in advance.

Chen Mei obviously also saw Qiu Shumin's intention, and was deeply moved.

She never thought that there would be a woman rushing to enter the palace.

Yingying and Yanyan were making noise all afternoon, Fang Ruxuan and Chen Mei felt bored, after lunch, they avoided the crowd by taking a walk together.

Qiu Shumin wanted to entertain a lot of young ladies, so the Hexiang Garden and Sanjin's were cleaned up, and there were no more outsiders, so the ladies didn't have so many worries when they came to visit the garden.

Although it is the end of August, the autumn tiger is quite hot.

After walking for a while, Fang Ruxuan and Chen Mei entered the pavilion.

Just now during the banquet, someone came to see Fang Ruxuan with malicious intentions. Chen Mei knew that there must be a lot of things going on in the past six months, and there were few people at the moment. When Chen Mei asked, Fang Ruxuan said it out without hesitation.

Chen Mei was dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that sisters Fang Ruyu and her fellow sisters would join hands to plot against her own sister in this way.

Seeing Chen Mei's indignation, Fang Ruxuan laughed in her heart: If she knew that her mother was killed by Su Yuan, she would be even more surprised, wouldn't she?
Chen Mei returned to normal in a blink of an eye: "Which one of the rich and powerful families has no messes?"Even the governor's mansion in Fuyang is not necessarily clean, it's just that the mother has a good control and has not spread it outside.

Speaking of the past, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but think of Lanxi.

Now, I don't know if she is doing well or not.

Thinking of this, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and said to Ding Xiang: "Go find a little maid from the Qiu Mansion and ask about Lan Xi."

Ding Xiang nodded and went, and after a while, a pretty little maid came.

Fang Ruxuan was still joking with Chen Mei, but when she turned her head to see the man clearly, the smile on Fang Ruxuan's face froze immediately.

"Peach Leaf..."

Fang Ruxuan exclaimed.

　Have a nice week dears~~~
