Su Rong did not speak immediately, but looked Qin Ruo up and down.
It has been seven or eight months since the Qin family was convicted and imprisoned. She has never seen the former Mr. Qin, but she can also imagine that the former Mr. Cheng of Zhongcheng Mansion is a good-looking and handsome man. Those who are talented must look like noble young masters from high-end mansions in every gesture.
Today, this person's waist can still be straight, but he is very thin. Although he is not too thin to lose his shape, that is because the time is still short. Once time passes, there is no guarantee that even if Zhou Gu comes in front of him, he may not be able to recognize him.
It is said that time is a butcher's knife, but in fact it is hardship and hardship, especially the hardship without hope.
Su Rong was looking at Qin Ruo, and Qin Ruo was also looking at Su Rong. In addition to being very thin, his eyes still retained a bit of the color of a clear spring, and were not all stained with a grayish dark color. This is also the time. short reason.
After hearing Mr. Wang's words, he bowed his hands to Su Rong and said, "Miss Su Qi."
He was not shy to see people because he had frostbitten hands that he could not hold out. He hid his hands and did not show any restraint. After being surprised, he became calm and calm, as if he was waiting for Su Rongdaoming to see his purpose.
Su Rong nodded, "Master Qin."
She pointed casually and said, "Sit."
The seat she pointed to was not far from her, with not much distance between them. Fengling should have been sitting there, but Fengling and Ning Ze ran to the middle of the greenhouse to study the stove, so the seat next to her became vacant.
Qin Ruo glanced at it and didn't sit down. "I'll just stand down, Miss Su Qi. Please tell me."
He felt that although she looked like this, she was not too dirty, but she could not be too close to people. After all, the white fox fur cloak on her body was spotless. Even if she was sitting in this simple greenhouse, her whole body was clean. Neat. He was too close and unsightly.
Su Rong thought, this is a person who, even if he is in such a bad situation, has a sense of pride and does not want to be rude at any time.
Su Rong didn't force himself to pick up the thermos beside him, poured a bowl of hot water, and handed it to him, "Then drink some water first, and we'll talk later."
Qin Ruo paused, curled his fingers, slowly moved forward, reached out and took the hot water into his hand, "Thank you, Miss Qi."
This time the word Su is missing.
Su Rong smiled.
Mr. Wang was watching from the side and saw that Su Rong treated Qin Ruo very politely as if he was just looking for trouble. He immediately moved his chair aside and motioned for him to sit down, "Qin Ruo, sit down and drink! "
It was the first time in history for him to have the state government personally move his seat. I am afraid that not many people have enjoyed this treatment. After all, in this Nanhuai City, Mr. Wang is the sky.
Qin Ruo paused again, "Master Wang..."
"Hey, sit down, sit down quickly." Mr. Wang said quickly. After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked Su Rong, "Miss Qi, um, do you need to avoid being a low-ranking official?"
Su Rong smiled lightly, "No need."
Lord Wang nodded and stepped aside. Someone was very discerning and brought a chair to Lord Wang. He sat down with a smile.
Qin Ruo held a bowl of water and slowly sat on the chair brought by Mr. Wang. He drank the water quickly, and then someone took the empty bowl away. He looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong said to him: "When I was in the East Palace, I met your sister several times. Your sister learned that I was going to Nanchu, and begged His Highness the Crown Prince to follow me to Nan Chu. His Highness the Crown Prince agreed. When talking about it, I remembered that I had read the files about the Qin family in the past, and learned that Mr. Qin was a very talented man. Because Mr. Qin was convicted, he was implicated and exiled, and was buried in this bitter and cold place. I am afraid that as time goes by, He felt that it was a pity that he had broken the bones and lost his life, so he told His Highness the Crown Prince that Lady Qin had good food and good accommodation in the East Palace. It would be better if she were replaced by Qin Ruo. His Highness the Crown Prince knew that Mr. Qin was talented better than I did, so he agreed. So, I will personally take a detour to Nanhuai City and ask Mr. Qin if you can follow me to Nanchu?"
Qin Ruo looked at Su Rong in surprise and was stunned for a moment.
Su Rong looked at him and said: "Logically speaking, I should promise your sister. She is a person who is very good at judging the situation and a person with plans in mind. Of course, she also has ambitions. She knows that if she stays in the East Palace, she will She is just a female official with the status of a sin slave. Although Daliang is not harsh on women, there is not much room for women to perform, and there is not much environment for women to compete with men. Therefore, she wants to go to Nanchu with me. , go all out and try my best. Because I am a woman, the princess of Nanchu, and will succeed the king of Nanchu in the future. If she follows me, it is possible for her to achieve her ambitions. Maybe one day in the future, she will be able to achieve a high official position and a good salary. We are both women, and I admire her ambition and plan to break free, but I simply don't want her as a person."
Su Rong added, "She stayed with the prince for seven or eight months. She was assigned to the East Palace for as long as the Qin family was in trouble. The prince did not treat her harshly, and even, because of Zhou Gushou The face you have entrusted and taken care of has also been taken care of by her. Otherwise, how could the position of female official in the East Palace be something that a daughter of a sinful minister could take as soon as she entered the Eastern Palace? Even if she despises the position of female official, she should know , the female official of the East Palace, not everyone can sit there. She is in the East Palace, except for the housekeeper and the two little eunuchs who are close to the prince. It can be said that no one can surpass her. Even so, she is still not satisfied. I want to use the crown prince to jump out of the East Palace and seek a higher place. I can't bear to think about what kind of position I should give her when she comes to me so that she will be satisfied. Will one day in the future, she will be with me? Now, using the prince's ladder, he can jump out of my hands and fly farther and higher."
When Su Rong saw Qin Ruo listening quietly, she smiled again, "I recruit talented people. They are heroes regardless of their origins, but I don't want people who have masters to abandon their masters and seek refuge with me. For example, she was originally the prince's However, I begged the prince to follow me. For example, the prince took the initiative to give me the cloud bank next to him. How could I take away the love of others? I rejected him."
Qin Ruo was shocked again when he knew that Yun An was the first personal guard around the prince.
Su Rong's tone was casual, "I'm not very noble or principled. I simply feel that there are some people I want to accept and some people I don't want to accept. After my sister is rejected by me, she may not have a good future in the future. , but as long as she doesn’t cause trouble, she won’t suffer much and will have no problem with food and clothing. The prince has always been kind to those around him.”
"I asked your sister to make a choice between her and you. She was silent for a long time. In the end, maybe family ties are more valuable? Anyway, she said she would choose you. No matter what, I will not accept her. , but she chose you without knowing it. Probably this brother-sister relationship is still a bit." Su Rong took out a letter from her arms and held it in her hand. She didn't hand it to Qin Ruo, but gave it to Qin Ruo. He read the words signed by his brother, "This is the letter your sister asked me to send to you. Before I read her letter to you, I will give you a stick of incense and time to consider whether you should follow me to Nanchu or stay here." ."
Qin Ruo looked at Su Rong and her voice finally became tight, "If I leave, my mother and relatives..."
"I only asked the prince to beg you, but Mr. Wang is here. If you leave with me, can you entrust Mr. Wang to take care of you?" Su Rong turned to Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang was already shocked. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Yes, I will definitely take care of you."
His heart was racing, and he thought that it was never a rule to beg someone out of the Sinners City in the place of exile. However, Miss Su Qi had the crown prince's token, so she could make an exception for the first time in the world.
He looked at Qin Ruo and thought to himself, people have their own destiny and it is really unstoppable.
