On the second day after the flower feast, Ruan Xi's spirit was not very good, she had a dream last night.
In the dream, it was Wen Tingzhou and her.
Ruan Xi smiled wryly, it was just a hug and a kiss on the cheek that wasn't really a kiss, and that's all she reacted to.
This is very bad, she needs to calm down.
Due to heart disease in her previous life, Ruan Xi never thought about falling in love and getting married, her feelings for love were only on paper, and she didn't know what it was like to be in love.
Now she knows.
Ruan Xi felt that he was too impatient and needed to strengthen his energy-raising skills.
After breakfast, Ruan Xi couldn't help asking Mother Lin for her opinion.
"Mother Lin, I need to study some Buddhist scriptures that can be used for meditation. Do you have any suggestions?"
Mother Lin was taken aback, and looked at Miss Si in surprise: "Miss Si, you have a calm temperament, you don't need to study Buddhist scriptures, you can practice calligraphy or paint more."
Ruan Xi pursed her lips and smiled calmly: "I prefer Buddhist scriptures."
"Then study the Huayan Sutra. The old lady usually likes to study this Buddhist scripture." Mother Yang thought for a while.
A strange look flashed in Yang's mother's eyes, and she suddenly interjected: "If Miss Si wants to study Buddhist scriptures, besides the Huayan Sutra, you can also study the Diamond Sutra."
Ruan Xi did not expect that Mama Yang, who had always been silent, would suddenly speak out.
When Mama Lin heard Mama Yang suggested that Miss Si study the Diamond Sutra, she thought it would be feasible.
"Miss Si, the Diamond Sutra teaches people to cultivate fortune, cultivate wisdom and eliminate karma. You can try to study it."
When Ruan Xi heard Mama Yang mentioning the Diamond Sutra, she was silent for a while. If she remembered correctly, the hostess Mu Qingci was studying and transcribing the Diamond Sutra at Mama Yang's suggestion.
Later, when the hostess was able to meet Mu Taifei, Mu Taifei learned that Mu Qingci liked to copy the Diamond Sutra at a young age, and after reading the scriptures she copied, she fell in love with the hostess.
In fact, all of this was carefully planned by Yang's mother.
Later, there were young ladies from the Mu family who fell in love with them, but unfortunately they were not the first ones, so they couldn't get into Concubine Mu's eyes, so they made useless efforts.
Concubine Mu's morbid pursuit of beauty made her unwilling to conceive and have children. For the sake of the Mu family and to consolidate her status and favor, she could only use her belly to give birth to a child, and secretly went to the mother to keep the child.
Among the women in the harem, there is no woman who has a few lives on her hands, and Concubine Mu is no exception.
But Concubine Mu is different. She thinks that having a human life in her hand will affect her beauty, so Concubine Mu transcribes and studies the Diamond Sutra to eliminate karma under the advice of the master.
Concubine Mu likes to copy the Diamond Sutra as long as she has human life in her hands.
When Ruan Xi thought of the story behind the Diamond Sutra in the book, as well as Yang's mother's ulterior motives, she quickly said, "I still like the Huayan Sutra."
After all, Concubine Mu is one of the golden fingers of the heroine, and she doesn't want to be treated differently by Concubine Mu suddenly one day, as Mother Yang intended.
Although Yang's mother was disappointed, she just smiled and didn't care, thinking that Miss Si wanted to please Mrs. Wen.
Mother Lin is very happy.
Ruan Xi handed over the search for the Huayan Sutra to Mama Lin, and went to the sewing room as usual, when a shrill scream suddenly came from a certain direction in the Chengyi Mansion.
Ruan Xi's heart constricted for a while, and she suddenly reached out to cover her heart, but suddenly remembered that she didn't have a heart attack now, and her tense nerves relaxed.
Suyu and Suzhu beside them were also frightened, and their faces were very ugly.
"Miss, is this servant going to see what happened?" After Suyu was shocked, she hurriedly prepared to inquire about the news.
"Well, let's go."
Ruan Xi frowned, only feeling that the scream was familiar, and wanted to know what was going on.
After Suyu left, Ruan Xi continued to walk towards the sewing room. These days, she was very familiar with the management of the sewing room.
The aunt didn't say anything, she was still in charge of the sewing room, and she didn't know when she would change the place.
Seeing Ruan Xi coming, the steward of the sewing room hurriedly poured tea and water, and then stood aside respectfully to report the situation.
Seeing that there was no problem, Ruan Xi didn't stay any longer, and took Suzhu away directly. On the way, she met a few servants who came and went in a hurry, and the expressions of these servants were quite strange.
Ruan Xi guessed that it was related to the scream, and Suyu should have found out about the situation, so she immediately returned to Chengxin Garden.
Sure enough, Suyu was waiting, with a gloating look on her face, Suzhu couldn't wait when she saw this, "Suyu hurry up and tell me what's going on, don't keep Miss waiting."
"Wait a minute." Su Zhu first poured tea and water for Ruan Xi, and served melon and fruit snacks before she began to talk about the news she had inquired.
"Miss, the scream we heard was Miss San's voice. For some reason, Miss San climbed the wall and was frightened by a black cat and fell from the high wall. , and broke his leg, it was very miserable."
"..."
Just as Ruan Xi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, she was shocked by the shocking news and almost spit out a sip of tea.
She lost her waist and broke her bones, no wonder she screamed so miserable, Ruan Sanniang probably never suffered such a serious crime.
"If you don't leave the door open, why don't you want to go over the wall?"
Su Yu quickly replied.
"Miss San continued to be grounded after she came back yesterday. No one would dare to let Miss San go out without orders from Madam and Uncle."
"Miss San wanted to go to Huaiyang Hou's Mansion to attend the three cleansing banquets today, but Uncle disagreed, and Madam couldn't let Miss San out, so Miss San secretly climbed the wall."
Ruan Xi's expression was indescribable. Ruan Sanniang's purpose of going to Huaiyang Marquis to attend the three banquets is not difficult to guess, probably because she wanted to see Qi Yue'an.
I really don't know what Ruan Sanniang is thinking.
Thinking that Ruan Sanniang in the book is a person who keeps tossing around, I am afraid that this character cannot be changed.
"Suzhu, go back up the presents, I will visit the third sister later."
Ruan Xi put down the tea bowl and ordered.
"Yes, miss."
Suzhu led the order to go to the warehouse, and the gift was ready in a short while.
Ruan Xi sent Suyu and Lin's mother to talk and took Suyu and Suzhu to Ruan Sanniang's yard.
Mother Yang looked at the back of Miss Fourth from under the eaves, frowning slightly.
She was treated very well in Chengxinyuan, but the treatment was so good that she felt like she was being confessed.
It may be very happy for other mothers, but Mother Yang is different. She is an ambitious person. She has enmity with the Mu family. If this continues, she will have no hope of revenge.
It's not a good thing to be smart, it seems that you can only show some real skills, otherwise she will feel very uncomfortable watching Fourth Miss learn from Mama Lin and trust Mama Lin all day long.
Mama Lin who was standing by the window of the wing room smiled slightly, Miss Si's method really worked, and Mama Yang couldn't sit still after only three or four days.
But now I still write a letter to tell the old lady and Mrs. Wen that the fourth lady is going to study the Huayan Sutra.
…
Ruan Xi came to the courtyard where Ruan Sanniang lived, looked at the noisy courtyard and the messy work of the servants, and frowned.
"Miss, there has been a new batch of servants in this yard." Suyu explained in a low voice with a wink.
Ruan Xi: "..."
Don't think about it, it should be Zhang's method. Most of the servants here have unclear eyes at first glance, and they are almost all sneaky, slippery, and careful people.
"When did you change it?" Ruan Xi asked.
"The day after you came back from offering incense in Yunhua Temple." Suyu replied.
Ruan Xi really doesn't know what to say now, Ruan Sanniang is really big among servants with different thoughts.
A servant saw the three of Ruan Xi, and hurriedly greeted them with a flattering smile: "Miss Si, you are here to visit Miss San, this slave will take you to Miss San's room."
The corner of Ruan Xi's mouth twitched, and a servant directly said to take her to Ruan Sanniang's room...
What about the rules
The aunt did this, does the old lady have any objections
Ruan Xi came down to Ruan Sanniang's room led by the servant.
Seeing the male servant go in directly, Ruan Xi: "...", Suyu and Suzhu behind her looked subtle.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the old doctor splinting Ruan Sanniang's leg. Ruan Sanniang lay pale on the bed, screaming in pain from time to time. Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears by the bed and kept shouting: "My poor San Niang!"
The servants around all looked worried.
Ruan Xi: "..."
She went up to greet her aunt.
Mrs. Zhang and others found out that Ruan Xi was coming, Ruan Sanniang looked ashamed and angry, thinking that Ruan Xi was here to see her joke, and glared at her viciously.
"Mom, get the rest of the house out of here, I don't want to see them."
Ruan Sanniang was agitated for a while, and accidentally hurt her waist, and she burst into tears from the pain.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Maybe it was too painful, Ruan Sanniang secretly used supernatural powers to heal her, not daring to go too far.
The lessons of the previous life are vivid.
Now she can't wait for the people in the room to disappear, so she can use supernatural powers to treat herself and relieve pain.
"Sanniang, Sanniang, don't get excited, mother will let them leave now." Zhang's happy face hurriedly comforted Ruan Sanniang, and turned to look at the old doctor anxiously, "Doctor, show Sanniang quickly."
The old doctor nodded.
Mrs. Zhang immediately kicked out everyone in the house, including Ruan Xi.
As soon as Ruan Xi came out, Mama Sun hurried over to make amends: "Miss Four, Miss San is offended when she is in a bad mood. Madam is also worried about Miss San. Please don't take it to heart."
Ruan Xi smiled slightly: "Mother Sun, please rest assured, I understand the feelings of Madam and Third Sister." She asked Suyu to bring the gift to Mother Sun, "This is my heart, please pass it on to Third Sister. Sister, I wish her a speedy recovery."
Mother Sun quickly took it: "Miss Si has a heart." But she secretly sighed in her heart that Miss Si can be a human being, and it's hard to pick her up.
Ruan Xi smiled and said nothing, and left with Su Yu and Su Zhu.
As soon as Ruan Xi returned to Chengxin Garden, she heard the errand maid reporting that Mother Xu's family was coming.
Ruan Xi was taken aback, for so many days, she almost forgot to treat the original owner's wonderful mother Xu, and hurriedly asked someone to bring him in.
After a while, Mother Xu's family came in. It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a pale and haggard complexion.
As soon as he came in, he knelt down cautiously: "Xu Jin has met Miss Fourth."
Ruan Xi noticed that a small piece of white cloth was tied on the boy's arm, and his heart sank.
"Xu Jin, are you Mama Xu's son?"
Xu Jin nodded hastily, with a hint of sadness on his face.
"Where's Mama Xu?"
"My mother... she was killed by robbers on the road, and my father and I rushed to the uncle's mansion to inform Miss Fourth after finishing the funeral." Xu Jin couldn't help crying as he spoke.
Suyu and Suzhu looked at a loss, they couldn't believe that Xu's mother was just gone.
Ruan Xi also felt bad, the original owner was gone, and the original owner's mother Xu was also killed by the robbers.
She closed her eyes and turned a thousand words into two words.
"Congratulations."
Xu Jin cried louder.
"Suyu, go and get the five hundred taels of silver." Ruan Xi felt that she should do something for the dead Xu's mother.
Especially the young boy in front of her is Mama Xu's only son, who is as old as the original owner. She doesn't know the situation of Mama Xu's husband's family. She only knows that their family opened a small grocery store. Mom, it can be said that the original owner was brought up by Xu's mother, and the love is extraordinary.
This time, Xu's mother went back for a while because of business at home, but she didn't expect to never come back.
Suyu took the banknote to Xu Jin, but Xu Jin quickly refused, saying no.
Fourth Miss is a good person. I heard from my mother that Fourth Miss is not valued in the house and has no money in her hands.
Taking out five hundred and two taels at once is probably hollowing out the foundation.
Ruan Xi ignored his refusal and directly let Su Yu stuff it into his hands.
"Xu Jin, you don't have to refuse anymore. Mother Xu has served me with all her heart and soul for more than ten years. Now that she's gone, I want to do something for her. I used to have no ability to help Mother Xu. Now it's different. Five hundred taels It’s a lot, but I can still take it out.”
"With this money, you can buy land to make your family's life more comfortable, and you can also go to the academy to study."
Xu Jin struggled for a while when he heard Miss Si say this, but finally he didn't refuse any more. Ruan Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and gave him another token.
"If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me with this token."
Xu Jin clenched the token in his hand, he was so grateful that he didn't know what to do, so he could only keep saying thanks.
Ruan Xi carefully asked about the details of Xu's mother's murder. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. She always felt that Xu's mother's murder was not easy. After all, according to the time, Xu's mother was killed on the second day after the original owner got engaged. Ruan Xi doubted, of course, maybe she was suspicious, maybe it was really an accident.
When Xu Jin left, Ruan Xi didn't give him any more eye-catching things. She had no property, except five hundred taels of silver bills, and only gave him a lot of new ordinary cloth and a little ordinary jewelry.
On the other side, after Huaiyang Hou learned the news that the third lady of Chengyibo's mansion had broken her leg, he immediately summoned his second son, Qi Yue'an, to talk about the situation, and warned him in a stern tone.
"An'er, you go to Chengyibo's mansion tomorrow to visit the third lady, and you are not allowed to go out and mess around again, do you hear me?"
Qi Yuean nodded lazily, covered his mouth and yawned big.
"Got it, Dad, can I go back to sleep?"
Marquis of Huaiyang: "..."
You bastard, it's not dark yet, why sleep!
