In the afternoon of this day, Ruan Qingsong managed to finish writing a large piece of Chinese characters arranged by her husband. She habitually wanted to lie on the bed and button her mobile phone. , I feel a little irritable.

Ruan Qingsong came out of the room unsteadily, and stood under a fat plantain, picking the leaves with little interest.

"Hey, isn't this a servant, it's not easy to serve the master, why do you hide here?" An old sharp voice suddenly sounded, and the words were mean and shrewd.

Someone else immediately replied with a smile: "Mother Xu was joking, even if the kid has the guts of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to do such a lazy thing, just because the master went to the Swallow Tower and couldn't get out for a while. Come, so I only keep Zhihua by my side, and send the boy to take back the ancient books that I bought from Xintao first, so as not to be spoiled by some master when I have a drink in the Yanzi Tower."

This mother Xu is Ruan Lezheng's nanny. Ruan Lezheng's biological mother died early when he was young, and his family was in decline.

After Ruan Lezheng gained power, she did not forget her kindness. After the Patriarch of the Bai family passed away, she hurriedly sent someone to pick her up, and she was more decent than others in terms of food and clothing. no.

Xu's mother said: "Look at me, I forgot such important things. Today is Wangri. The master has always valued scholars. There is no reason not to go to the Swallow Tower to join in the fun."

Ruan Qingsong under the plantain showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the words.

Ruan Lezheng has always been suspicious. Although Hua Jian bludgeoned the previous incident to the past, but it is hard to guarantee that he will not have a grudge in his heart. This is not what he is happy to see.

Ruan Qingsong has been trying to flatter Ruan Lezheng and ease the relationship between father and son for the past two days, so as to win Ruan Lezheng's support, but to no avail. Now, when he was dozing off, he just picked up a pillow. God helped me.

Since Ruan Lezheng likes to be arty for fame, he should try to show off in front of the coach, so that Ruan Lezheng realizes his excellence.

What's more, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Great Zhou has paid special attention to the rule of literature and martial arts, and the system has tried to favor literati as much as possible. However, any scholar with real talents can definitely rise to the top and become an official and noble.

At that time, not to mention a little Ruan Lezheng, even the important ministers in the court will not dare to show him face.

However, before that, he must be valued by Ruan Lezheng. Only in this way can he get in touch with the collection of books of the aristocratic family, make friends with literati, and even gradually enter the circle of nobles in Beijing.

Everything requires the cooperation of Ruan Lezheng, the stepping stone.

With the plan in mind, Ruan Qingsong suddenly felt refreshed, turned around and walked back to the study along the path.

After Shi Shu exchanged pleasantries with Xu's mother, he left without stopping.

"Where did an evil wind blow away the old woman's handkerchief, so unlucky..." Mother Xu squinted her dim old eyes for a long time, only to find the handkerchief that had been dropped by the wind on the banana leaf and wipe it. Sweat on forehead.

Mother Xu came to the side door, took a bag of soft things from the boy servant, weighed it in her hand, and walked all the way back, complaining all the way: "Shh, the little thing that makes you want to die. What white peony, all the girls and boys in my house are dead, so they sent me to get things, and whoever he is, he dares to order me."

A pavilion was built at the corner of the inner courtyard, named "Guanxing". It has six floors up and down. It is the tallest building among all the buildings in the White Mansion. The whitewashed walls, the flowers and trees are scattered and scattered, and the whole White Mansion can be seen in the eyes.

It is said that the Guanxing Pavilion was built by the ancestors of the Bai family. The original purpose was to peep at the stars and find out the secrets of heaven, but unfortunately, the ancestors still had difficulty in understanding the profound meaning of metaphysics, so they had to give up in the end.Slowly, Guanxing Pavilion evolved into a leisure place for the children of the Bai family to study. The pavilion carefully collected some antique calligraphy and paintings, chess records and copybooks, as well as a collection of classics and history.

Bai Tan clasped the window frame with both hands, and looked out on tiptoe, with a cunning look on his face that didn't match his age.

"Dog smash, thank you."

The little fox wondered: "Why do you insist on asking me to lead Mother Xu over, and let Ruan Qingsong see it?"

Bai Tan said meaningfully: "You will know later."

"I don't understand what you're doing."

Mother Xu went through the corner door and came to Guanxing Pavilion, lifted her skirt with one hand, and climbed up to the fifth floor, she didn't salute when she saw Bai Tan, and said after a while: "Brother Tan is getting bigger every day, how come Learn to pretend to be the master's money."

Bai Tan held a scroll of letters in both hands, but he didn't understand: "Mom, are you talking about me?"

Mother Xu was annoyed: "Otherwise, who else would there be?"

Bai Sui, who was tidying up the room, was annoyed that she bullied the young master, and said with a sneer, "Mother's words are so strange. A master is a master, and a servant is a slave. How can I use a pretense? It's just that the young master is interested and wants to find some white clothes. Peonies are used to make incense for fun. Although some are planted in the house, picking them is inelegant, so I asked my mother to pick them up from the outer courtyard, which caused you a lot of gossip. I really hate that I am not a man, otherwise, The servant girl went to the outer courtyard by herself to save these gossips."

Xu's mother widened her eyes and said angrily: "Little hooves have such a powerful mouth! Can't you be so strong when you get married tomorrow? But if you meet a slightly stronger mother-in-law, you will not tolerate your hypocrisy! Even if you beat me alive There is death, too!"

A hundred-year-old girl who has never been out of the court, where has she heard such rascal words, and it is difficult to open her mouth to distinguish, her face is red with anger.

Bai Tan put down the letter, and coaxed Bai Sui in a soft voice: "Sister, don't cry, this mother is so annoying, Tan'er doesn't like her, so I went to ask my mother to sell her, okay? Like the nanny who twisted Tan'er."

Hearing this, Mother Xu's complexion changed several times. Although she was taken in by Ruan Lezheng back then, because she didn't understand the situation, she mistakenly thought that the Bai family was really in charge of the housewife, Ruan Baishi, and she signed the contract in a daze. I signed the deed of selling myself, but I haven't been able to get it back so far.

Now, although she has a little face in front of Ruan Lezheng, she is not a serious master after all, and besides, Ruan Lezheng is a dignified seven-foot man, and it is really difficult for her to interfere in the affairs of the inner house.

Mother Xu knew in her heart that Ruan Bai gave her some thin noodles because she didn't want to tear herself apart with Ruan Lezheng, but if this matter involved Bai Tan, it would be a different matter. Do you know that Ruan Bai's eyeball hurts when he treats the young master as an eyeball?

Seeing her embarrassment, with a flash of struggle in her eyes, Bai Tan quietly showed a sly smile.

After the death of the Patriarch of the Bai family, Ruan Bai's wife, the wife of the house, was inevitably looked down upon by others. Many servants in the house gradually changed their minds. What's more, they secretly surrendered to Hua Jianxiu's mother and son, and betrayed the master for glory.

In the original book, Bai Tan's mother and son are on the road to perish step by step, but there are many people who contribute to the flames, add insult to injury, and trample on them.Especially this mother Xu, who deliberately overturned the food many times, forcing the mother and son to eat flower petals from the outer courtyard to satisfy their hunger.

It's not too late to kill chickens and monkeys now.

So, when he went back to his room to rest that night, Bai Tan fell ill without any suspense. He lay on the bed in a daze, and could only repeat in his mouth: "Don't dare, Tan'er will never dare again...Mother, Help, mother..."

This delirious raving, for Ruan Bai, he was not stingy with cutting flesh with soft knives, his eyes were red immediately, and he cried: "My son..."

Everyone in the house covered their faces and wept.

Bai Sui cried until his eyes were swollen, and he knelt down with a plop: "My maidservant is not doing enough to protect the Lord, please punish me madam."

Ruan Bai asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Sui recounted what happened during the day in an orderly manner, only to hear Ruan Bai's angry face, and said in a hateful voice: "What a powerful mother! Even my son dared to bump into me, I didn't know, in this day and night Yun Nuer in the mansion is not considered a master, if so, I must not be worthy of living here."

Ruan Bai was furious, and raised her voice to ask Mama Zhang to bring someone to tie up Mama Xu, pressed her down on the bench and beat twenty boards.

All the maids and servants in the courtyard watched, but there was no sound.

When Ruan Lezheng got the news and rushed back, the punishment had already ended, but Xu's mother was still lying on the ground, crying weakly.

Madam Xu has always liked to rely on her elders to bully others, and few people in the whole family like her, and today Ruan Bai's family is angry, no one dares to touch her bad luck, so no one is willing to help her.

Ruan Lezheng had the best face in his life, so he immediately said with a flick of his sleeves: "My wife is so majestic, she dares to beat someone who is regarded as a respect by her husband? Will I be tied up together tomorrow?"

His father passed away less than three years ago, but Ruan Bai saw Ruan Lezheng's true face clearly, and his heart became colder every day. After hearing this, he didn't feel any pain, but felt sad for Bai Tan: "Master, Have you made up your mind to be a filial son? It’s just pity that my Yun Nuer doesn’t have a loving father! Such a small child was bluffed to death by the servants, but his father only cares about other people’s life and death. When Mrs. Shi comes to Liufang Pavilion again, I will definitely tell her about the sisterhood! I will tell her one by one about the slaves in the mansion bullying the master, favoring concubines and destroying wives!"

Zhu Yushi is an upright official well-known in the government and the public. He is solitary and upright. The reputation is extremely high.

If he were to read a book, let alone how the emperor and Yushitai were convicted, their reputation in the court would be ruined first.

Thinking of this, Ruan Lezheng's face changed slightly, but he still said in a firm voice: "Madam is too caring. As a father, why don't I care about Tan'er? It's just a child's family, so don't be too pampered. Then Mother Xu She's getting old, so I inevitably asked a few more questions. Forget it, since you don't like Mother Xu, let her guard Zhuangzi."

Ruan Bai lowered her eyes, unwilling to take another look at him: "Don't dare to bother the master, please go back."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and looked at the gray and white picture of "Lonely Goose Lamenting" on the wall, her back was indifferent and determined, and she was actually unwilling to say a word to him.

Ruan Le is walking away.

Although in his previous life he was always looking forward to seeing his biological parents, but now Bai Tan has something to say, Ruan Lezheng is really a scumbag in capital letters...

He stretched out his short and tender hands, looked out of the silver-red soft smoke gauze tent, and softly called: "Mother."

Ruan Bai pressed his eyes with a handkerchief, leaned over and squatted beside the bed, "Is Yun Nuer feeling better?"

Bai Tan nodded, and pretended to be childish: "Mother, father doesn't like me, he only likes Brother Song, let's not play with him anymore, okay?"

Ruan Bai endured and endured, her eyes were still red, but she shook her head and said: "Yun Nuer, don't talk nonsense, mother and he are husband and wife, this life is considered a wrong payment..."

Bai Tan's voice was weak: "But Aunt Jincheng said that father lived with Aunt Hua at home, and they would bully Mother and Tan'er together. Mother, please go and beg Aunt Jincheng to drive Aunt Hua out. ..."

The ancient feudal etiquette has always oppressed and restrained women. They paid attention to marrying a chicken and marrying a dog. On the front, Ruan Lezheng's sudden betrayal, dealing with the other party and Aunt Hua for a long time, to protect her own interests, is already regarded as extraordinary courage.

Of course, this has something to do with Ruan Le being the son-in-law, if not, the situation of Ruan Bai and Bai Tan would be even worse.

The aunt of Jincheng mentioned by Bai Tan refers to the eldest princess Jiang Jincheng. This princess and Ruan Bai's family have known each other since they were young, and they have a very close friendship. Afterwards, the two married each other, but they did not stop their relationship.

Bai Tan once met Princess Jincheng at a banquet, and she liked her very much.

The most important thing is that Princess Jincheng is a hearty person with a bit of a heroic spirit. She married the eldest son of Cheng's family, a family of generals, and managed the inner courtyard in an orderly manner. Her knowledge should be different from that of ordinary women.

If she could get the support of Princess Jincheng, even if Ruan Bai wanted to reconcile, she would be fine.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Bai refused, and said in a stern tone: "This is absolutely impossible, Yun Nuer, remember, in the future, no matter what, you must never deal with people in the royal family, do you hear me clearly?" His expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Bai Tan's heart moved, these words seemed to have a lot of meaning...
