After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 14 Ruan's Family (Please collect and recommend!)

He said to his younger brother Ruan Ming: "Okay, brother, stop talking and don't think too much.

It's too late, go back to your room!Sister, send everyone outside away and go out through the gate!
Climbing the wall is too dangerous, be careful not to fall.

If you have something to do in the future, come to your sister openly during the day and don't secretly climb over the wall at night. "

Said get up and go out.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the Plum Appreciation Pavilion. The two cooks are only staying in the kitchen, and the two rough ladies will not come to the main courtyard.
Shu Qi doesn't have to worry, so Ruan Qingqing only needs to take away the calligraphy and painting.

"Calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting."

"Here you are, my cousin, what do you want me to do?"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was a bit fat as a baby responded, this girl was originally a second-class girl who served by Mother Xiao's side,

After Xiao Han rescued their siblings, he felt sorry for the loneliness of their siblings, and there was only one servant girl Shuqi by his side, although she was a loyal servant, but...,
So I asked my mother to allocate someone to Ruan Qingqing.

Xiao's mother agreed and gave one of her second-class maids to Ruan Qingqing as a personal maid.

Because she thinks: "Shuqi is already an unclean maid, and such a maid can no longer serve the boudoir girls closely, and it is not even suitable to be placed next to her daughter's house."

If it wasn't for Ruan Qingqing, a child who was affectionate and pleaded for her, she would have sent Shuqi away no matter what she said. '

For Liu Xian'er, Shu Qi must stay with her, but she didn't dare to let Shu Qi do the work of a slave.
Therefore, he pretended to evade it twice, and accepted Xiao's mother's kindness, and gave him the name of calligraphy and painting.

"Go to the kitchen and bring me a bowl of porridge, I'm a little hungry."

"Yes, Miss Biao," Shu Hua responded and left.

At this time, the young man in the room came out. When he saw the calligraphy and painting walking away, he quickly walked to the door of the courtyard and left directly.

After a while, Shuhua came back with hot porridge.

"Miss Biao, the porridge is here, and the servant has put it on the table for you. You can eat it while it's hot."

Calligraphy knew that Miss Ruan's cousin didn't like servants staying in her room, so she said a word, put down the porridge and turned to leave.

Seeing the hot barley, white fungus and eight-treasure porridge on the table, Ruan Qingqing felt a little hungry, picked up the bowl and ate it clean.

After eating, I temporarily put aside my worries and went to sleep contentedly.

In the early morning, Yuhui Courtyard.

As soon as Shen Qingjun got up, Dongmei came to report, and the cousin of the Ruan family came to see her.

Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Ming, cousins ​​of the Xiao family, had a deep memory in her previous life!Good to see you.

living room

Ruan Qingqing bowed his knees to salute, and Ruan Ming bowed his hands.

"Hi, sister-in-law!"

"Please sit down, Dongmei, and serve tea." Shen Qingjun, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded and raised his hand to signal them to sit down.

Shen Qingjun carefully looked at the two siblings, both of them had very good looks:
Eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waves, words like clear springs,

The waist is like a willow tree, and the body is like a swallow.

'No wonder my elder sister has been favored by Xiao Han for more than 20 years, and my younger brother has fascinated the Crown Prince of Wei. '

In the previous life, when Xiao Han usurped the throne and became emperor, he couldn't wait to make her a noble concubine before he could stabilize the country.

And Concubine Ruan likes to praise him in front of her whenever she gets the chance.

It is said that her piano sound is elegant and melodious, listening to it can make people forget their troubles, and even boring state affairs and government affairs become interesting;

Said that she ordered good tea, just smelling the tea could make people feel refreshed;
Said that she cooks good food, which is the most suitable for his mother and his appetite.

It's just a matter of saying clearly that she, Ruan Qingqing, is a model of a lady, a wife in the first wife's style, and the best candidate for a mother in the world.

At that time, she was crazy with jealousy. She learned to play the piano, order tea, and cook, but unfortunately she couldn't do any of them well.

As for his younger brother Ruan Ming, he did not give in too much and attracted the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty to have a deep affection for him.

"A beautiful face is a disaster", once he met him, Prince Wei didn't even care about his own reputation,
I was almost going to stage a drama of "I don't love my country, I love my beauty"!

I was still stupid back then. I was worried that he was Xiao Han's cousin, so I tried my best to help Ruan Ming cover it up in every possible way.

This prevented the legendary love story between him and the prince from reaching the ears of the Emperor and Empress of Wei.

Otherwise, with the strength of the empress, it is hard to say what will happen to the prince, Ruan Ming will definitely "disappear the fragrance and jade death".

And Xiao Han will definitely not be able to please him!
Thinking back on the behavior of these two siblings in their previous lives, sometimes she felt:

'Some of the methods used by the siblings are not like the sons of aristocratic families, but a bit of brothel background. '

It was also thanks to Xiao Han that they were children of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, fresh and refined, untainted by lead.

The Ruan family is full of loyalty and strength of character!
Heh, outsiders don't know the reason why the Ruan family was wiped out by Emperor Shao Wu, they think that the Ruan family really vowed not to eat "Wei millet",
Desperately resisting the Wei army, loyal and unyielding, caused the Wei army to suffer heavy casualties, so that Emperor Shao Wu became angry and ordered the massacre of the whole family of Ruan.

But her father is the commander of the Mie Chen Zuo Route Army. Although her father is not in charge of this matter, he also knows the ins and outs.

At that time, she desperately wanted to please Xiao Han, and wanted to do everything for him.

At that time, he always regretted that he could not justify the justice of the Ruan family.
But he couldn't gain a foothold in Yujing City as a gentry in an open and aboveboard manner.

He regretted that Ruan Qingqing, who was everyone's noble daughter, was just his concubine.

He wanted to restore her identity, elevate her to an equal wife, and be on an equal footing with her.

As his wife, she was fully aware of his thoughts, and perhaps he hadn't hidden them from her.

She wanted to help him, so she asked her father about the destruction of the Ruan family, but the truth she learned from her was quite different from what he said!
The Ruan family was wiped out not because Emperor Shao Wu was angry because he couldn't afford to lose, but because the Ruan family was overconfident and greedy!

The Chen Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River has always treated the big gentry preferentially, and it is known as "the emperor and the big gentry rule the world together!"

As a result, the gentry had great influence in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Ruan family, as a high-ranking noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally did not give way. Within their sphere of influence in Jiangyang County, the Ruan family could be said to be the local emperor of Jiangyang County.

In the entire county, from the county guard down, if there is an official, either his surname is Ruan or he is related to the Ruan family.

To what extent has the Ruan family's influence penetrated?

In Jiangyang County, without the Ruan family nodding, you can't even open a shop;
You can't do anything in the county without the permission of the Ruan family;
Not to mention the collection of taxes and labor, without the assistance of the Ruan family, you will not be able to see a grain of food, and you will not be able to move a single person.

In the entire Jiangyang County, [-]% of the land is surnamed Ruan, and the owners of the remaining [-]% ​​of the land are also related to the Ruan family!
Not to mention, the Ruan family also owned all the mines and forests in Jiangyang County.

Jiangyang County is a large county with a large population and rich resources.

There is a large copper mine and a finer iron mine in the whole county,

Relying on these two mines, the Ruan family minted coins and smelted iron in the country of Chen, and they lived very well!
