Chapter 256: See Qinglian

At this moment, Qinglian was sitting in the room, and she was still thinking of the news that Chuntao had just reported to her:

‘The girl from the Shen family came to see the prince, she didn’t talk to the king. For a long time after she left, the prince was still looking at her back in a trance...’

Qinglian laughed bitterly: Isn't the prince just staring at her back in a trance?

Every day I look at the location of Steward Zheng’s private house in a daze!

The soul has been hooked away!

Every time she saw him like this, she could hear her heartbreaking voice, as if the most important thing in life was about to be taken away, making her anxious, scared, annoyed, and hated!

I don't know what the woman surnamed Shen is capable of making him so enamoured.

She had secretly made an appointment to see her. She was not a beauty who was all over the country. She was just a beautiful and charming little Jiabiyu, and her manners were not that of a pretty lady, and she was even a bit crude.

But such a humble person broke into her life unexpectedly and stole the heart of her favorite man without her knowing it!

Qinglian's heart was in pain. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to give a long sigh. At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Girl Qinglian, we're here to report that the woman who rented in Zheng's house asks to see you!"

Qinglian opened her eyes quickly and asked, "Why is she here?"

The old woman cautiously said, "The old slave doesn't know, can the girl see her? If not, the old slave will send her away."

"Wait a minute!" Qinglian squinted her eyes, "Since she is here, let her come in."

It just so happened that she wanted to meet her too. She had to take a good look at what kind of person she was and what she was capable of? Can grab the heart of the prince!

Shen Ruolan was standing outside the gate of the palace and was hovering. The gate opened with a creak. A forty-year-old mother walked out with a smile, and said to Shen Ruolan: "The girl brought good luck, just like Qinglian. The girl is free now, the girl comes with me, our Qinglian girl is not easy to meet people!"

Shen Ruolan had long known that this girl Qinglian had an unusual identity, and it was not surprising that she could have such a big style. She thanked the mother and followed her into the house with her food box.

Cham Palace is the residence of the prince. It was built magnificently and beautifully. The towering palaces are constantly undulating, with rockery and strange rocks all over the place. The green tiles and red walls circle this wealth of weather in the palace, and the two walked out of the pavilion. In the garden surrounded by buildings and pavilions, only a cobblestone road came directly out of the gate, and the woman led Shen Ruolan to turn west, turned an east-west hall, and entered the three-story ritual gate.

I saw a small courtyard with the three characters ‘Lianxin Garden’ under the eaves at the entrance of the courtyard. It was the courtyard of Qinglian.

After entering, I saw several red and green maids waiting on the mountain verandas on both sides of the courtyard.

Shen Ruolan sighed secretly, it turns out that the concubine rooms in the palace have such a big show, this is a long experience!

"Girl Qinglian, Girl Shen is here!"

The mother who led Shen Ruolan in reported at the door that the little girl had opened the curtain and invited them to enter the house.

When Shen Ruolan entered the room, she saw Girl Qinglian sitting in a chair drinking tea casually. Shen Ruolan leaned back and said politely: "Good girl Qinglian."

Qing Lian put down the tea cup, looked up at Shen Ruolan, and deliberately said, "I don't know what this girl is called?"

Shen Ruolan said, "My name is Shen Ruolan, and Ms. Qinglian can call me Ms. Shen."

She felt that Qinglian must have forgotten her, otherwise she wouldn't look strange. However, forgetting that she is also normal, Qinglian's identity must definitely disdain to remember her as a small mountain girl.

Qing Lian said again: "I wonder what is it for Miss Shen to see me?"

Hearing this, Shen Ruolan was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, it's not my business. I want to ask to see the prince for some other people's affairs. I also know that the prince has everything to do, and I'm afraid that he won't have time to see me, so I want to come to ask Qinglian Give me a report and see if you can arrange some time for the prince to see me once!"

Qinglian looked at Shen Ruolan with embarrassment, a sneer appeared on her lips.

Her face of beauty was shy, pretentious and guilty in Qing Lian's eyes. She must have been trying to seduce the prince. She deliberately sought out these excuses and wanted to approach the prince with excuses. It was really a mean thing.

I hate to death in my heart, but thinking about the position of this little **** in the prince’s heart, she dare not do anything, so she smirked and dealt with her, "Can Miss Shen tell you what happened to the prince? If there is something important, I can help you arrange arrangements. If it is not important, I can only deal with it separately."

In other words, if you don't tell the purpose of seeing the prince, I will not let you see the prince. Even if you see the prince, there must be a good reason, otherwise it will be in vain.

Shen Ruolan immediately told Qinglian what he said to'Master Qi' in the morning, and finally said, "I also know that my request is a bit excessive, but those girls are in a really pitiful situation now. Those girls who can help them will definitely be grateful to the prince. If the prince does not help them, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, it is a family affair, and it is excusable that the prince does not want to be involved. However, if the prince does not want to intervene, can you Can Miss Qinglian help me ask the prince if he can give me the list of people he saved at the time. If I have a chance, I can try to help them."

After listening to Shen Ruolan's statement, Qing Lian was surprised and showed an unbelievable look, "Are you going to help those prostitutes?"

In her eyes, prostitutes are all indiscriminate things, not even humans. The daughters of decent people will never have a relationship with them, so as not to get tired of her boudoir, she is a woman. Take the initiative to get together and get involved with them. This behavior is simply a fool, a lunatic, self-conscious and nosy...

She can't understand her in a normal way.

A serious daughter's home, shouldn't she stay at home to be a female celebrity and learn the rules? But she wanted to go crazy and crazy about the nosy of a bunch of lowly prostitutes. Those lowly women, the daughters of decent people, were afraid to avoid them. She actually took the initiative to move forward. It was almost.... Unreasonable!

Is she not afraid that the prince hates her and dislikes her because of this?

Or... want to draw the Prince's attention to her by this?

Thinking of this, her face sank a little.

If she really relied on these prostitutes to win the prince's attention, it would be too sordid, it would be no different from the prostitutes she wanted to help.

However, it is a good way to turn lowly to lowly: think of her as a small and weak woman who has justice in her heart and has a small righteousness. She must rely on her own modest strength to help the persecuted women. The prince heard about it, and she will definitely do it. I am grateful for her kindness and righteousness, maybe I will be more interested in her.

Thinking about it this way, this woman is really not an ordinary person, she is a good method, it is no wonder that the lord is fascinated by her!

Shen Ruolan didn't know what she was thinking about, but she was very unhappy when she heard her use the word "prostitute" to describe the women who were rescued.

She didn't like to hear her say those girls. Even though they had been prostitutes, the prostitutes of this era are different from the modern prostitutes. Ninety-nine out of a hundred are forced, and they are not willing in their hearts.

Nowadays, prostitutes are trash people who are lazy and like to work. They shamelessly sell their bodies if they want to get something for nothing. Therefore, she does not despise the prostitutes of this era, and even sympathizes with them, and wants to help them as much as possible.

"Girl Qinglian, they are no longer prostitutes, they are already doing good." Shen Ruolan emphasized.

Qing Lian chuckled lightly, "Yes, they are already in good health, it was my negligence for a while."

Of course, Shen Ruolan would not pursue Miss Qinglian’s mistakes. She even pointed to someone recommending her to see Lord Zhan, and said sincerely and seriously, "That’s how it is, these girls are still struggling in a sea of ​​hardship. Please also take care of Miss Qinglian!"

Qinglian said faintly: "I know. I will tell him when the prince comes back in the evening. As for whether the prince will see you and will give you the list of those people, I dare not guarantee it to you? Miss Shen may as well leave your address. If the prince agrees, I will send someone to tell you. If you don't agree, the girl doesn't have to come again, and you should make another plan."

In other words, you don't come again.

Shen Ruolan understood, but didn't get angry at her impoliteness. She immediately left her address and said politely, "Then Miss Lao Qinglian will bother."

After speaking, he passed the food box in his hand, "Miss Qinglian, this is a little snack I made for the prince. Although it is not as exquisite and delicious as the one in the palace, it is still acceptable. Please Qinglian. Miss Lian handed it over on her behalf, and Lan'er was grateful."

Qinglian took the food box and felt another chill in her heart, and the smile on her face could hardly be sustained.

This little **** first pretended to be kind, and pretended to save people, so that the prince would be grateful for her kindness and be tempted by her; then he presented exquisite and delicious snacks to please his stomach. I heard that she is good at cooking, prince I like eating what she makes the most.

The prince's heart and stomach were all caught by her, and people naturally turned towards her!

Hehe, this village girl, at a young age, is very good, no wonder he can catch the heart of the prince!

After Shen Ruolan left, Qinglian opened the food box and took out an egg tart, but saw that there was a pack of yellow and tender things in the golden and crisp little bowl. It was very beautiful. After a bite, it was crispy on the outside and inside. , Ruan Ruan glutinous, even better than the dim sum made by the best chef in the house!

Qing Lian's face turned gloomy, this little **** has such a superb cooking skills, as well as such a clever means, it is really not to be underestimated!

Chunmei walked in with a teacup. Seeing Qinglian's face gloomy, she cautiously asked, "Sister Qinglian? What's wrong with her?"

Qing Lian glanced at her and said, "Go and pass the story of the Shen family to Qiu Ju's ears."

Chunmei didn't ask much, she put down her tea cup and whispered: "Yes!"

Just about to withdraw, Qing Lian said again: "Be careful, don't be found out, beware of the prince's refusal."

Chunmei said, "Sister Qinglian, don't worry, she knows her mind, she will not miss her business!"

Qiu Ju is a chef given to the prince by the Queen Mother. She is good at making vegetarian food. She has always been low-key in the mansion and has a low sense of presence. However, everyone knows that she is an eyeliner placed by the prince by the Queen Mother and is responsible for seeing the prince on behalf of the Queen Mother. Moved.

King Gein has a mother-child relationship with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother’s monitoring of the prince is nothing more than caring about his life, and there is no malice. Therefore, King Zhan kept one eye closed and lived in the palace with this eyeliner. Never thought of removing her.

Qiu Ju also knew her identity was embarrassing, and she didn't go to crowded places very often, not in the kitchen, but in her own house, and she didn't socialize much with others.

**

After leaving the palace, Shen Ruolan first went to the hot pot restaurant, and then painted in the shop for a while. At noon, she went to the street to eat. She prepared a simple meal. After eating, she went to Shen Youjia and took the manuscript he had finished. Come back, tell him another story by the way.

In the noodle restaurant, I unexpectedly met Zhang Eryong again.

Zhang Eryong came to the noodle shop to deliver peanuts. Seeing his fiancée came to eat, he also hurriedly sat down and wanted to eat with her.

Zhang Eryong greeted Xiao Er and asked for the menu. He took the menu and passed it to Shen Ruolan's hands. He said generously, "Lan'er, don't save money for me. I have enough money."

He was very happy to be able to dine alone with Lan'er. Even though he was poor in food and clothing, he was reluctant to spend a penny, but he was happy to spend money on her.

Shen Ruolan couldn't bear to make him spend more money, looked at the menu, and said, "Let's have a piece of pork noodles."

Zhang Eryong said, "What about the dishes? Order two more dishes, otherwise the noodles will not taste good!" He had seen the quality of Lan'er's food and didn't want her to be wronged.

Shen Ruolan shook her head and put the menu on the table: "I ate breakfast late, and I am not hungry at all. I don't know if I can finish this bowl of pork noodles!"

Zhang Eryong also picked up the menu and looked at it and said, "Then I will also have a bowl of shredded pork noodles, another plate of pork stewed cabbage, and a bowl of bacon fried soybeans."

Xiao Er agreed to go.

Shen Ruolan watched him take the menu and order the dishes, and said in surprise: "Brother Er Yong, do you know the characters?"

Zhang Eryong smiled slyly and said: "I know, before the fire at home, my father also let me go to school for several years, but I am stupid, not as good as Sanyong, and later caught up with the family. After the fire broke out, my mother said I was stupid.

It turns out that Zhang Eryong is literate! This really surprised Shen Ruolan, and asked, "How many years have you studied?"

Zhang Eryong said with a little embarrassment: "He was enlightened at the age of five, and he continued to study until he was fifteen, but he didn't pass the exam."

It turned out to have been studying for ten years?

Shen Ruolan was surprised again. It turned out that Zhang Eryong was not only an illiterate Bai Ding, but also had a high degree of education for ten years. I really didn't see it!

However, it was a pity that after ten years of hard work, I finally came out to do coolies!

Shen Ruolan said, "Brother Er Yong, have you ever thought of continuing to read? If you miss, I can help you."

"No, I have a way to study." Zhang Eryong smiled at him, thanked her for her kindness, took out a crumpled book from his clothes, and said, "I bought the book myself, and I will review it when I have time. Now, don’t delay work or study!"

Shen Ruolan smiled, "Unexpectedly, you still blame the easy-to-learn. I didn't know you still have such a side."

Zhang Eryong put the crumpled book into his arms again, and honestly said: "It's not that I am easy to learn. In fact, I am not willing to learn at all, but Laner, you are too good. I have to improve myself, otherwise I am now. I don’t need anyone to say, I know I’m not worthy of you.”

He said it solemnly.

Since the last time she saw the Absolute in Baiwei, he has developed an inferiority complex, and he feels more and more that he is not worthy of Lan'er. Although he knows he is not worthy, he is reluctant to give up, so he decided resolutely. Make yourself better.

He bought a few books and some pen, ink, paper and inkstone with his private money, and picked up the knowledge he had learned before.

He didn't ask himself to be able to find flowers among the champions. He just wanted not to be left too far by her. At least he wanted him to understand what she said, so that the two of them would be able to talk together in the future.

Of course, it would be even better if he could pass the exam. If he could pass the exam, Lan'er could be called a talented lady. If he could pass the exam, Lan'er would be his wife. How glorious is it to be on the altar in the future to worship generals and to seal his wife's shadow?

As a man, how many hope that their daughter-in-law is better than yourself and live on their own? How many people do not want to be able to worship themselves for their daughter-in-law, regard themselves as her heaven, and shelter her from wind and rain?

As he is like this, he definitely can't be Lan'er's day, nor can he shelter her from the wind and rain, let alone worship her, and let her live a rich life!

Therefore, he made up his mind to change himself and be a man worthy of her!
