Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 51 Reunion and Sudden Mutation 2
Mrs. An Guogong accepted with a smile, and bluntly said that she wanted to stay with Ruiyi, but the eldest lady declined.After all, Rui Yue hasn't married yet, so what's the matter with Rui Yi staying overnight.

Mrs. An Guogong also knows this truth, so it's fine to be humble for a while.

When Rui Yi woke up, it was almost dark, he got up to wash and wash up, and then confessed to Fan Wei, after finishing tidying up quickly, he went to see Mrs. An Guogong to make amends, and then he was about to leave and go back to the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. An Guogong sent someone to take her off, but Rui Yi quickly declined, "The coachman, girls and women are all ready-made, don't bother Madam." She also said that she was afraid that Madam would be worried, so she had to go back quickly.

Seeing that Rui Yi had made up her mind to go, Mrs. An Guogong personally sent her to the second gate. Rui Yi then bowed her knees and saluted her, said goodbye and left.

When she got in the carriage, the shops on both sides of the long street had already hung up red lanterns, and there were two jars of plum blossom wine that Fan Wei stuffed in for her in the carriage, and asked her to take it back to make amends to the eldest lady.This time it was too much, never got drunk at a guest's house, Rui Yi knew that he had done it, and was uneasy all the way.

Pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce, and the long red lanterns spread like two long dragons at the end of the street.Rui Yi raised the curtain and looked outside, the cold wind blowing on her face slowly calmed down her churning heart.

The sound of horseshoes came from far behind, getting closer and closer, Rui Yi looked sideways, but saw Zhou Chenyi on horseback running past her.

The eyes of the two met, and they separated in an instant.

The cold wind blew his robe and flew like a butterfly, and the vigorous red horse galloped in the night, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Rui Yi put down the car curtain, leaned on the soft pillow and rubbed his brows.Ling Xiao on the side thought she was drunk, so he knelt down and kneaded her acupuncture points, "Young lady can't drink too much in the future, and see how uncomfortable she is."

It was not her head that was suffering, but her heart.

Rui Yi closed his eyes, but his mind was full of images of the man in the red light long street, the horse in black, galloping away with incomparable momentum.

Some people are born to be looked up to.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Rui Yi took two jars of plum blossom wine to the Da Furen to confess her guilt, and the Da Furen gave her a few words of reprimand and then she went back.Rui Yi didn't expect to expose it like this, and he was relieved when he returned to his yard. It may be because of his own illness. The eldest lady didn't blame her, but in fact, the eldest lady treated her really well. of.

Rui Yi neither dared to tell the eldest lady about the matter with Zhou Shenyi, nor did he dare to ask about the marriage of Zuo Xiang's family, so he could only guess, ponder, and slowly stand alone in his heart.

When people have obsessions, they always want to ride the wind and waves, and go through all kinds of hardships to achieve what they want.But once a person has no obsession, many things will lose the tone of support, and gradually fade in the heart.

Zhou Shenyi's matter was brought up by Ruihua at the beginning, when her father wanted to send her to the palace, no matter who the man was, she wanted to marry him.She doesn't want to enter the palace. To put it bluntly, if she is twenty years younger today, she is still willing to enter the palace and give it a try.But now she sees that she is a person with loess up to her neck, and she doesn't want to live by the oil lamp for the rest of her life.So even though she knew at the time that there was a big gap between her and King Qi, and that this matter might not be possible, but with the support at that time, she was willing to break through even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

But after Zhou Shenyi said those words himself, Rui Yi knew it was time to wake up.

Living in a dream, I could only deceive myself. I was very depressed for a few days, but slowly I figured it out, and a smile appeared on my face.Both Ling Xiao and Mu He could see that the girl had something on their minds, but they didn't dare to ask if the girl didn't tell them. Seeing that the girl finally showed a smile, the big rock in her heart was finally lifted.

Sure enough, within a few days, Ruihua invited Ruiyi to talk. The year was approaching, and there were too many things at home, so the eldest lady couldn't go there. She had prepared a lot of things for her daughter, and asked Ruiyi to take them with her.

Rui Yi responded with a smile, and heard the eldest lady say: "Go and have a good talk with your sister, it's okay to come back late in the afternoon, just don't pass the curfew."

Rui Yi was taken aback when he heard this, but he habitually agreed without asking any further questions.The eldest lady always has her intentions in making such an arrangement. Since she can't make a way out for herself, let the eldest lady arrange it with Ruihua, and you won't lose yourself.

Seeing Ruiyi lowering her brows and smiling, the eldest lady replied, her expression eased, she pulled Ruiyi to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Mom doesn't care about you these days, and there are many things at home. After the New Year, your seventh sister still doesn't care about you." There are eight elder sisters who are going to get married, and your second aunt doesn't care about everything, only one Ruiyue is enough for her. You are a good boy, and mother knows it in her heart, go and have a good talk with your elder sister, and come back to live happily year."

Rui Yi's eyes were red all of a sudden, and she leaned on the lady's shoulder and leaned over, "Daughter knows, I've made you worry."

The eldest lady pinched Rui Yi's nose, "How old are you and you still cry, if you are seen by the new brother, you should laugh at you. Speaking of which, the new brother should also be on vacation. You didn't wake up when you left last time , crying with snot and tears."

"It's all my daughter's fault." Rui Yi felt a little guilty.

"What's wrong with you, I think everything is fine with you. All right, hurry up, your elder sister is waiting." The eldest lady patted Ruiyi and said with a smile.

Rui Yi pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief embarrassingly, then got up and went out.This time Rui Yi took Mu He out, and there were a lot of things to do in the courtyards near the end of the year, and there were a lot of things to get. Ling Xiao has been in charge of her courtyard affairs, leaving her behind.After getting into the carriage, Mu He panted and said: "The madam brought a whole cart full of things for the eldest girl, and it took me a long time to pack them."

"Big sister is pregnant, so she must take care of herself." Rui Yi smiled, "Let's go."

Mu He ordered the coachman to set off, the distance from Shun'anhou Mansion to Qi'an Hou Mansion was not too far, Rui Yi squinted for a while and felt the carriage stopped, opened his eyes and Mu He was about to call her.Seeing Rui Yi open his eyes, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, took the pedals and put them outside, then reached out to help Rui Yi get off the carriage.

Mother He had already been waiting at the gate with someone, watching Ruiyi get off the carriage and immediately came up to greet her, "This old slave greets Miss Nine. Our young lady started waiting early in the morning, and finally came."

Rui Yi hurriedly helped Mama He up with a smile, and said with a smile: "I've kept my elder sister waiting for a long time, but the elder sister is okay. I always remember her in my heart." Mother He said: "The things in the car behind are the things my mother brought to my elder sister. My mother asked people to take them in. They are all things that my elder sister used to like to eat."

"That's right, since she was pregnant, the young lady always thinks about the one she likes to eat at home." Mama He immediately called two rough envoys and asked them to lead the carriage to the back door to unload the goods, and she herself He led Ruiyi into the main entrance.

Hearing laughter from the yard, Rui Hua knew Rui Yi had arrived, and with a smile on his face, he urged Bi Luo to greet him.

Rui Yi came in with Biluo, first put his cloak in the outer room, then warmed himself on the smoker cage to avoid the cold air from bringing Ruihua, and then walked through the door of the inner room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ruihua sitting on the big couch with a soft pillow behind him. Seeing her go in, he hurriedly waved to her, "Why did you arrive so late, I've been waiting so early in the morning."

"My mother prepared some favorite food for my sister, and I have to wait for the food to get in the car before I can come." Rui Yi deliberately joked.

Ruihua smiled and pressed the tip of Ruiyi's nose, "You're still so naughty." Turning around, he asked someone to serve Ruiyi the snacks, "It's all your favorite."

Rui Yi smiled and nodded, "It's still my elder sister who loves me."

The dim sum was brought, it was Rui Yi's favorite at home, after she ate for a while, Rui Hua handed her a cup of tea, and all the maids in the room also retreated.

Then she looked at Rui Yi and said: "You were sick a few days ago, I couldn't go to see you, but you lost a lot of weight. Could it be because of King Qi's business?"

Rui Yi was startled in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, "No, it's because I sweated a little on the way up the mountain that day, and the wind blew again at the top of the mountain. I blame myself for not adding any clothes at that time. .”

Ruihua also heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Ruiyi and said, "I'm afraid that the matter with King Qi will not come to fruition."

Rui Yi already had this expectation in his heart, and he was not sad at this time, but just nodded, "Do everything according to the destiny."

Ruihua looked at Ruiyi and felt very guilty. If she hadn't mentioned it first, maybe Ruiyi wouldn't have had expectations and was disappointed.

She sighed softly and said: "At first there was hope for this matter, but a few days ago she fell ill and something happened in the palace."

Rui Yi nodded silently, there are a lot of gossip in the capital, the matter of King Shen and King Hui is spreading, it's hard not to know.

"His Highness King Qi is in a difficult situation between King Shen and King Hui. If he wants to be wise and safe, he must have a strong arm to support him. I heard that General Dingbei intends to marry His Highness King Qi. It seems that this matter has been settled. How can our family compare to the Dingbei General’s Mansion, if other people’s family can still compete, I’m afraid it won’t happen this time.” Ruihua also sighed, it’s just such a coincidence, if it wasn’t for the Holy Majesty to fall ill, maybe it would be all right. There is no need for His Royal Highness to rush to gain a firm foothold and bet on the marriage.

After all, Ruiyi is not so lucky.

Rui Yi's mind was filled with the words Dingbei General's Mansion, so wouldn't it be Rong Jing who was betrothed to King Qi?

Unexpectedly, the world went round and round, and it turned out like this in the end.

If it was Rong Jing, she would never have any entanglements with King Qi again.

She and Rong Jing are friends, and she can't do that kind of thing that stabs a knife in the back.

"It turned out to be Sister Rong Jing. I have a very good relationship with her. She is a very good person. This marriage is well-matched, and it is indeed a happy event." Rui Yi said with a smile, trying to ignore the slightest sadness in his heart.

Seeing that Ruiyi looked fine, Ruihua also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Although King Qi's side is not going to work, I still have some good news for you. Because of the current illness, my father did not follow up with him." I used to insist that I must send you into the palace, but when I let go, my mother thought about a few marriages for you. After thinking about it, I decided that Zuo Xiang's family is more appropriate. Originally, my mother wanted to tell you about this matter personally, but You also know that she is very busy recently, and it is your brother-in-law who is connecting with the Zuo Xiangfu, so it is more appropriate for me to tell you about this matter. We sisters grew up together, and we talked about everything since we were young. If you If you don’t like it, just tell me directly.”

Rui Yi was not surprised at all, when he actually saw Mrs. Zuo Xiangzhu that day, he actually had a premonition in his heart.

"My mother and sister think well of me, so I can have nothing to dissatisfy." Rui Yi said, "What's more, Zuo Xiang is famous in the court, a pillar of the country, and Zuo Xiang's wife is also known as a virtuous person. It's a wonderful marriage."
