Chapter 41: Confessing Ruren
Xue Sui's prediction was not bad.
Two days later, Xue Yuechen went back to her parents' house and cried bitterly.
There were too many jokes spread outside, and she just couldn't live with it. In the palace, Concubine Xiao, because of this fake eighth-luck lucky star, often scolded her, ridiculed and punished her, making her life miserable.
Fu was sick and disheartened, so he just advised her to be patient.
However, Xue Sui cooked a pot of tea for her in Lixiangyuan and told her a story.
She said: "There was a tea merchant in the prosperous land of Jiangnan. He was interested in the tea from a time-honored tea farm in Fujian. But the other party has kept his promise for many years. The tea will only be sold to merchants in Fujian and not to outsiders."
"A wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River wanted the other party's tea, but the other party refused to sell it, so he thought of a plan to make the other party's tea cheap..."
"So he sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the soil of this tea farm was disordered, the water source was poor, and the tea produced by drinking it for a long time was harmful to the health and longevity. Upon hearing this, the tea merchants in Fujian insisted on cutting off the relationship regardless of their long-term friendship. Later, the wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River became extremely Because of the low price, he bought high-quality tea and quickly occupied the tea market in Fujian. The business grew bigger and bigger, but the traders in Fujian were gradually squeezed and found it difficult to survive, so they had to sell their properties. Go far away..."
After Xue Yuechen listened, he thought a little.
"Ruodonggong is the scheming wealthy businessman from Jiangnan..."
Xue Sui smiled and said: "Businessmen are always like this. When they want something in your hand, they will find ways to make your cherished treasure worthless..."
Xue Yuechen's eyes lit up, "What if I tell this story to the noble concubine in a tactful way?"
Xue Sui said: "Princess, let others talk."
The story is not complicated, but only for human ears.
No matter how angry Concubine Xiao is, she has no reason to offend the Xue Mansion and the Yongding Marquis Mansion at this juncture, and push her close supporters to the opposite side. It is tantamount to cutting off one's limbs...
Concubine Xiao is arrogant because of her favor, but she is not stupid.
-
After another two or three days, she sent a girl to announce the good news.
"The imperial concubine agreed. She said that on the day of King Duan's birthday, she would welcome the sixth girl into the palace. Not only that, the imperial concubine also said that the status of concubine was too unfair for the sixth girl, so she wanted to welcome the girl into the palace with the courtesy of a child."
"A gift from a child?" Ruyi was overjoyed.
Xiao Zhao also looked at Xue Sui unexpectedly.
Xue Sui was the only one who was as calm as still water.
"Xiao Zhao, watch and enjoy."
The harem of the current prince did not have as many status distinctions as the East Palace, but excluding the principal concubines, side concubines, concubines, concubines, etc., Ruren was the highest level.
Those who can serve as children in the royal palace are all daughters of families with status. When you go to the palace, you will have a stable status, salary and supplies, and you can also assist the princess in handling some internal affairs, which is a higher status than the concubines and concubines.
It can be said that the prince's concubine is not just a concubine.
What's more, Concubine Xiao personally agreed?
As soon as the news arrived, the situation in the mansion changed.
As soon as Ruyi sent out the messenger, Mrs. Qian came in with a few maids and the tenth girl, Xue Yuezhen, with a smile on her face that could not be hidden. She could be heard from all the way away. sound.
"Hey, where are the Sixth Sister? The magpies are already chirping on the branches, why are you so shy and hiding? The old lady asked me to bring money to Lixiangyuan."
It can be seen that Qian was very happy that the third master escaped safely, and he burst out every sentence with a smile.
Xue Sui didn't sleep well last night. He originally thought of going back to catch up on his sleep, but he couldn't sleep due to the blaring one after another. He cheered up and came out to greet him.
There are several boxes placed in the room.
Food, clothing, and use all look magnificent.
Xue Sui smiled slightly.
"Am I going to get rich?"
Qian smiled and said, "Am I not the God of Wealth today? These are all the wishes of your third uncle and the old lady. I am just doing my part."
She came over, took Xue Sui's hand, and looked at it carefully.
"It's not that you have to be granted the title of concubine, so I prepared the gift. You were going to come to thank me two days ago, but I didn't have all the things ready, so I was embarrassed to come. The sixth girl has been a great help this time, and I would be ashamed if the gift was so small. Me and your third uncle.”
Xue Sui understood what she meant and smiled. "What the third aunt said, we are a family and don't need outsiders."
Seeing the openness on her face, Qian didn't feel that he was clinging to her, so he didn't get along with her, and sat down holding hands, smiling and sighing.
"When I first married into the Xue family, I heard people say that there used to be a sixth girl in the family who was born with an ominous body. Later, she was abducted by a kidnapper. I was still sad..."
< br>
She is a straightforward person and puts everything on her face. The way she looked at Xue Sui now was different from the first time they met. It was obvious that she was really distressed.
"Now I know what happened to Miss Six. I didn't say that, but Mrs. Fu is too cruel. Even if she didn't crawl out of her belly, she is the eldest master's daughter after all. How could she commit such a murderous act? ”
Xue Sui smiled faintly, and took his slightly cold hand out of hers without leaving a trace.
"Third Aunt. Is Third Uncle's injury healed?"
Qian saw the empty palms and knew that this girl didn't want to get too close to others. But she was so happy today that she couldn't help but get close to her, so she leaned over again, her eyes shining with smiles.
"He said it was just a superficial wound, nothing to worry about. He got up early this morning to clean it up and went to work... This time it was a blessing in disguise. He burned down the bandit's den, killed people, and actually got General Yiwu. He was highly appreciated and recommended him to be the prison captain..."
General Yiwu was the man responsible for the suppression of bandits in Laojun Mountain. He had always been upright and brave, and had a good reputation. It can be seen that Xue Qingxiu has really made great achievements to get his eyes.
Qian was very happy when she heard Xue Qingxiu talking about this.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But Xue Sui's expression was indifferent, and her calm appearance didn't look like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. This made her so excited that she felt a little ridiculous.
Qian smiled sheepishly.
"Your third uncle said it was all thanks to you this time. If he hadn't been a big man and it was inconvenient to go in and out of Lixiangyuan, he would have come here in person."
Xue Sui: "I didn't do anything to help Third Uncle."
In fact, Qian didn't know what exactly Xue Sui helped Xue Qingxiu, but Xue Qingxiu repeatedly confessed that it was all thanks to Sixth Sister that he was able to come back alive this time, and he refused to say anything else.
Mrs. Qian had complained a lot about him in the past, but this time the man came back from the dead, and no matter how angry he was, he was dissatisfied. She liked him no matter what, so she did as he said and regarded Sixth Sister as her benefactor.
"I used to argue and fight with that bastard all the time, but I didn't think he was good. This time something happened to him, and I looked back and thought about myself, Xue Laosan... No, your third uncle is a bit of a fool, but compared to those It is rare to find a gentleman with a house full of concubines..."
Isn't it Xue Qingzhi, a gentleman with a house full of concubines?
Xue Sui smiled: "Uncle San is not bad-minded, and he won't act recklessly when drinking outside. It's just that it was difficult to express his ambitions before and he was depressed. It will get better and better."
"I accept your good words, I accept your good words."
Mr. Qian is a familiar person and can talk endlessly.
Fortunately, Xue Sui didn't dislike her, so he listened with a smile.
Before leaving, Mrs. Qian suddenly warned her, "From now on, when you are in the house, if Mrs. Fu lays a finger on you again, I will fight her."
Xue Sui smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Three."
Qian also laughed, stroking her hair beside her ears, her eyes a little sad, "But then again, if your father can't touch her, no one else can. She has a great background, she was born in the Hou family, the princess' biological mother, your aunt... ...Even if your third uncle and I have intentions, I’m afraid we won’t be able to protect you for the rest of our lives.”
She held Xue Sui's hand tightly again.
"Good girl, please promise your third aunt to be smarter, don't be too tough with her, and occasionally say a few pleasant words and then get over it. When you get married..."
After a pause, she seemed to think of her marriage, and smiled sadly.
"If third aunt says something that doesn't sound good to you, just listen to it if you think it's good. If it doesn't sound right, just treat it like a mosquito flying past your ears and don't take it to your heart."
Xue Sui probably guessed what she was going to say and smiled slightly, "I listened to everything Third Aunt said."
As a person who had come from the past, Mrs. Qian spoke emphatically, "The prince's palace is different from ordinary people. If you do well, you will have a great future. You, listen to your elder sister elsewhere. Fight for what should be fought. Fight for yourself..."
Xue Sui refilled her cup with water, smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't respond.
Although she knew that Qian had good intentions and was sincere, she had known from ten years ago how terrible it was to be gullible. When Qian and Xue Qingxiu could be used by her, she would use them.
I can't go any further.
See you tomorrow, my dears~~
Xue Sui: I have to be granted the title of Ruren. Is it annoying if someone makes a bad move?
