Chapter 494: Seeing the Enemy From the Past Life Again
When the door opened, Shao Yanru walked in with a maid. She wore a light lotus-colored eight-piece long skirt with a plum blossom-shaped silk ribbon hanging around her waist. Looking up, she saw a light purple silk ribbon. Shayi, light pink half-arms, coupled with the elegant temperament of her whole body, just one glance makes people feel that the woman in front of them is elegant and pure, and her delicate face makes this outstanding brilliance even more.
After entering the door, he did not look around, but respectfully saluted to the eldest princess Ruian who was sitting in the middle: "See the eldest princess."
"Get up!" The eldest princess waved her hand calmly, signaling her to get up.
"Princess, you don't know where my fifth sister is? My grandmother and mother heard that something happened at Yuhui'an, and they were very anxious. My grandmother also had an old illness for a while, and my mother was busy taking care of her, so she asked me to come and see my fifth sister. If you can’t live here anymore, why don’t you go back to your hometown first, and then come back to live after the things here are over?”
Shao Yanru raised her head, with a soft and caring smile on her face.
The eldest princess Ruian's eyes fell on Shao Yanru's face. In the past two years, Shao Yanru has rarely been seen in public. She only said that she wanted to study painting with peace of mind. Now it seems that this eldest lady of Shao Mansion is indeed unusual. It makes sense to say this at this time.
"Zhuo Zhuo was frightened last night and can't get up now." The eldest princess sighed, with a somewhat sad look on her face.
"Fifth sister was frightened and fell ill?" The smile on Shao Yanru's face also faded, and she became a bit melancholy. Every move she made seemed very sincere, which made people like her.
"Such a big thing happened, and it happened not far away. She is a child, and she is here alone. How can she not be afraid?" Princess Ruian said with a cold expression, "Your grandmother Are you sick again now? You were also sick at this time?"
Shao Wanru was not far from the scene of the incident, but the wife of Duke Xingguo was far away. Princess Ruian's words were obviously somewhat sarcastic.
"Grandma has a long-standing problem. As soon as autumn comes, her health becomes a little bad from time to time. She often falls ill. This has been the case these days. If it weren't for this reason, grandma would have come over to see the fifth sister. The fifth sister is like this She has been staying at Yuhui Nunnery for several years, and she sheds tears every time she mentions it."
Shao Yanru said softly, as if he didn't hear the ridicule in the eldest princess's words. He still treated what the eldest princess said sincerely and explained it sincerely.
Behind the bamboo curtain, Shao Wanru smiled coldly on his lips.
This Shao Yanru is indeed difficult to deal with. Just the few words she said make people feel that she sincerely wants to be on good terms with her. Even if her elders have this shortcoming, she is working hard to make up for it. She can't make up for it and can't blame her, because those people are her elders!
Sure enough, she is the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, no wonder she has such a good reputation outside, and among Chu Liuxin, she is also an excellent person who attaches great importance to sisterhood!
Sisterhood? In this life, her situation was different, and her life experience was revealed, so she talked about sisterhood with herself. In the last life, she never talked about sisterhood with herself.
Sure enough, this sisterhood is conditional, and it is conditional for others to see.
What Shao Yanru said was very appropriate. It not only explained the Tai Madam's health, but also showed how much the Tai Madam valued Shao Wanru. Although the eldest princess did not believe it, at least it would not really embarrass Shao Yanru. Although she and the Tai Madam , Madam Xingguo can’t deal with her, but she won’t go too far against a junior like Shao Yanru.
"Ru'er is not feeling well right now and it is inconvenient to see guests. Miss Shao should go back first!" Although it was not too much, the eldest princess Ruian was not very fond of Shao Yanru, so she waved her hand and said.
"Yes, these are some health-replenishing medicinal materials. Grandma asked me to take them to the mountain to give to the fifth sister. Please give the eldest princess to the fifth sister later!" Shao Yanru said softly, pointing to the gift brought by the maid.
The eldest princess nodded, as if she didn't want to talk anymore, Shao Yanru asked the maid to put the gift in her hand at the door, and then slowly withdrew.
When I got to the yard, I saw two maids standing on the side waiting for me. I nodded and called Yujie among them, and asked if it was Shao Wanru's maid. I also asked about some details of daily diet in the yard, as well as last night. Details of what happened.
Yujie had already been asked by the judge of the Ministry of Punishment before. When Shao Yanru asked again, she just said it all again.
Shao Yanru also asked her to serve Shao Wanru well and report to Duke Xingguo's Mansion if anything happened, and then left with the maid.
After leaving the yard, I turned around and took a look before decisively turning around and leaving.
She went to Master Pushan's Zen room, so she could be considered Master Pushan's disciple. Since they arrived at Yuhui Temple, Qing and Li should go and see Master Pushan.
After talking to Master Pushan in the meditation room for about an hour, Shao Yanru left.
The number of people coming and going at the entrance of Yuhui Nunnery was about doubled than usual, and most of them were from the Ministry of Punishment. Shao Yanru stood at the door and did not get on the carriage immediately. She turned around and squinted carefully, looking at the people from the Ministry of Punishment who were coming and going in a hurry. The handkerchief fell on the corner of his lips and pressed slightly, hiding the trace of sarcasm on his lips.
Then he got on the carriage of Duke Xingguo's Mansion and came all the way to Duke Xingguo's Mansion.
The carriage stopped, and she got off the carriage and saw her eldest brother walking out in a hurry. When he saw her coming out of the carriage, he stopped and waited for her to pass.
"Where are you going, brother?" Shao Yanru came over and asked.
"Wen Xichi invited me over for a tea party." Shao Hua'an, the eldest son of Xingguo Palace, waved the fan in his hand, looking elegant.
Both brothers and sisters are very good-looking, Shao Huaan is also as gentle as jade, and his talent is also good. However, he missed the last round of Chunwei, so he wanted to try it out this round.
The third overall pick in the last round was Qi Tianyu, and the top pick was Wen Xichi!
Wen Xichi first served in the Hanlin Academy, and in just over two years, he joined the Ministry of Justice. His future was unlimited. Those who entered the officialdom with him at the same time would only be climbing the ranks in the Hanlin Academy. None of them were like him. In this way, he officially became the owner of the sixth department.
The six divisions have always been the framework of the entire imperial court.
Shao Hua'an and Wen Xichi have been friends since they were young, and they have not become distinguished because of Wen Xichi's promotion.
Such a big thing happened at Yuhui Nunnery. It is really surprising that Wen Xichi, a subordinate officer of the Criminal Department, did not go to investigate, but was still in the mood to hold a tea party.
"Is it just the eldest brother?"
"How could it be that I am the only one? Many talented people from the capital have gone. In fact, this matter has been prepared a long time ago. It was originally going to be canceled today. Wen Xichi said no need. He had no errands in the morning. In the afternoon It's his turn, let's go over there and get together in the morning."
Shao Hua'an explained, then looked behind Shao Yanru, frowned and said, "Fifth sister won't come down the mountain? Didn't you tell me this? It's not appropriate for a girl to live in the mountain!"
"Brother, do you want her to come down the mountain?" Shao Yanru smiled slightly and suddenly said with a hint.
Shao Huaan spread his hands, "Can I just say this?"
The smile on Shao Yanru's face deepened, and she said pointedly, "It doesn't matter what we say, but it is always a matter in our house. If they want to interfere, it will not be easy."
"Sister knows that, let me handle this matter. I'm going to meet my friends first!" Shao Hua'an said, and then strode out to the outside.
There are some things that the brother and sister know very well.
Seeing her eldest brother leave, Shao Yanru smiled slightly and walked in. She had to go to the madam to work harder. So what if her grandmother was the eldest princess of Ruian? She couldn't compare to her own grandmother, right?
Because she had to take care of Shao Wanru, the eldest princess Ruian temporarily lived in Shao Wanru's own yard. Shao Wanru lived in Shao Yanru's yard. Two maids, Qu Le and Yu Jie, also came to serve her. Then she There is another little maid named Qing'er beside her.
Because she was just a low-level maid, many people who paid attention to her didn't care, thinking that she was sent by the eldest princess Ruian to serve Shao Wanru.
The people in Yuhui Nunnery were questioned again and again, even as Shao Wanru was questioned twice, and the rest of the people were questioned again and again.
Such a big thing happened in Yuhui Temple. Half of the pilgrims who were originally going to come to the mountain were immediately reduced. Everyone just wanted to pray quietly. Pray to the Buddha, no one wants to cause trouble.
One day, Wen Xichi suddenly came over and asked to see him.
Although Shao Wanru has not left this courtyard or even this quiet room in the past few days, he still knows very clearly what is happening outside. Qing'er runs outside all day long and can find out a lot of news, and also They are less conspicuous than Yujie and Qule.
"What can I do for Mr. Wen?" After hearing Wen Xichi's request to see him, Shao Wanru paused for a moment and said to Yujie.
Yu Jie nodded and went down, then came back to report shortly: "Master Wen said that he had misunderstood the young lady before, and wanted to express his humility to the young lady in person."
Shao Wanru put down the brush in his hand, his eyes fell on the osmanthus tree he had painted, and he pondered for a moment: "Go and tell Mr. Wen, no need, this matter is over, it's okay!"
Two years ago, Wen Xichi suspected that she had ulterior motives in approaching her. Although times have changed now, he has saved the people he should have saved, and the kindness he should have repaid has been repaid.
At this time in the last life, something had happened to Wen Xichi, and he was already on the bedside. He was not the number one scholar in the same period as Wen Tianyu in the previous life. His destiny has changed in this life. Looking at the way he looked at Gu Xishu that day, he knew that He will never make the same mistake again. In this case, his future path has nothing to do with him!
This is all she can do for him. Besides, she is in trouble now. If people find out that she is related to Wen Xichi again, it will be neither good for him nor for herself!
Now that what needs to be done has been done, the next thing will have nothing to do with him...
