Chapter 23 Sister Lizhen, I'm Back
The beauty in front of me is none other than Ruan Dacheng's youngest daughter Ruan Lizhen. Although she has betrothed to Yang Longyou's youngest son Yang Zuolin, Liu Yongxi has always gone to her in the courtyard of Niushou Mountain a few years ago, and even caused a lot of trouble. It is precisely because of that storm that Liu Kongzhao asked Liu Yongxi to go to the Beijing camp to experience it.
And Liu Yongxi never expected to be blocked by Ruan Lizhen in person for one day. He didn't know what to say now, but Queen Zhang became happier and happier and even laughed out loud.
However, after laughing, she patted Liu Yongxi on the shoulder and said to Ruan Lizhen: "I think Chengyi Bo is right. He is just thinking about taking you out of the fire pit. The Ruan family is indeed a fire pit that misleads others and yourself!"
Liu Yongxi finally came to his senses. He was now mixed with emotions and now he only formed a very simple sentence: "Sister Lizhen, I'm back!"
Although I was really angry with Liu Yongxi just now, when I heard Liu Yongxi's emotional words, Ruan Lizhen suddenly felt calm and even a little moved, but she still had some anger: "So why don't you come to me since you have come back? If Aunt Hong hadn't pulled me over, I really didn't know that you would say bad things about me in front of outsiders!"
Liu Yongxi quickly called for injustice: "Sister Lizhen, you don't know how busy I am when I go back to Nanjing this time. I have no spare time these days, and others don't know what I want. No wonder Sister Lizhen still doesn't understand what I want."
However, Ruan Lizhen didn't believe Liu Yongxi's statement: "You are so busy, you're all busy on the Qinhuai River!"
Although Ma Chaocai has not entered the Liu family, he has now regarded himself as a member of the Liu family, and Liu Yongxi is still the key figure in whether she can gain a foothold in Chengyi Bo Mansion.
So she naturally spoke for Liu Yongxi: "Lizhen, Mr. Yongxi's return this time is different from the past. The court has high hopes for him and is so busy that he has no time to go to Niushou Mountain to see you! And Mr. Yongxi is right, others don't understand how Liu Yongxi is alone, can you, Ruan Lizhen, still not understand!"
Liu Kongzhao came out to testify for Liu Yongxi: "This is indeed the case. It is also my Liu Kongzhao's idea to come to Qinhuai River this time. I mainly want to make Yongxi relaxed."
Queen Zhang thought this scene was particularly interesting: "Sincere will cross the river north tomorrow, Miss Lizhen, don't miss the opportunity!"
Ruan Lizhen had long noticed Queen Zhang beside Liu Yongxi. Who told Queen Zhang to be so beautiful and handsome in men's clothing? She was even more dazzling in the crowd than Liu Yongxi. Now she could see at a glance that this was a peerless beauty dressed as a man.
She was full of curiosity about the mysterious woman around Liu Yongxi: "Who are you? Why do you know that Xiaoxi will cross the river to the north tomorrow?"
Liu Yongxi could only avoid this sensitive question: "Sister Yan, this is Sister Lizhen. The song Zhu Meier sang just now was written by Sister Lizhen."
Although Ruan Lizhen is only twenty-two years old this year, she is an absolute talent. The first draft of the Swallow's note was actually written by Ruan Lizhen and then carefully polished by Ruan Dacheng. After all, only a girl like Ruan Lizhen can write a good girl mentality like Swallow's legendary girlish mindset. However, Ruan Dacheng polished it and directly staged it in his own name, and made a lot of reputation for publishing.
Ruan Lizhen couldn't care about the gains and losses with her father, but she was still very happy for Liu Yongxi to praise her talent, and she also recognized the beauty next to Liu Yongxi who dressed as a man was Queen Zhang.
Ruan Liqin went to Chengyi Bo Mansion to find Liu Yongxi twice these days. Although she had not seen Liu Yongxi, she had already met Queen Zhang. At that time, she was amazed by Queen Yi'an and Zhang's peerless charm. Now she saw Queen Zhang in men's clothing and was amazed again: "You are..."
Queen Zhang knew that Ruan Lizhen had recognized herself: "It's me, just call me Mr. Zhang. Today I am accompanying Chengyi Bo to enjoy the beauty of Qinhuai,!"
Although Ruan Lizhen has written several legendary stories, she was still a little panicked when she encountered the legendary scene of the Empress visiting her intimate privately, so she could only change the topic: "Young Master Zhang, is Xiao Xi really going to Jiangbei tomorrow?"
Liu Yongxi replied: "It should be the only two days that Jiangbei military officials have been doing well. I have to rush back early, but I am already satisfied to see Sister Lizhen before crossing the river!"
Ruan Lizhen knew that Liu Yongxi said "I am satisfied" was definitely the truth, and Wang Sunfan on the other side could understand her intentions: "Little Chengyi Bo crosses the river north this time, and naturally he will die for a lifetime, so I and Chengyi Bo both think it makes him happier, but today I met Miss Lizhen, Xiao Chengyi Bo was really happy!"
Although she got the answer she wanted, Ruan Lizhen felt very sad. She also knew that Liu Yongxi was not wrong about what she said. The Ruan family was indeed a big fire pit that misled others and themselves.
Ruan Dacheng's reputation is so famous. She had a sister who only said that she was the "Cao Ruan" after getting married, but never said that she was Ruan Dacheng's daughter.
Ma Chaocai can best understand Ruan Lizhen's pain, and as a famous "female hero" in Jinling brothels, how could she let Ruan Lizhen be so sad?
Although it cannot change the engagement between Ruan Yang and the two families, she can at least give Ruan Lizhen hope: "Although Yongxi is leaving tomorrow, the opportunity is rare. Everyone should be happy tonight and let everyone see our Lizhen's peerless talent. We will not be drunk tonight!"
One of the important reasons why Ruan Lizhen is known as a "female hero" is that she is extremely drunk and arrogant. Although she no longer gets drunk until dawn, she knows how to persuade her to drink to motivate the whole audience. After a few words, the atmosphere in the whole audience started to burn.
Perhaps because of the closeness of parting, Ruan Lizhen was also very relaxed tonight. She drank a glass of this year's new bayberry wine and sang on the spot: "What's the most affection in spring? Half is filled with flowers, and half is painful for flowers. The stars in the two swallows in the beams are ruthless, but they seem to be passionate..."
Perhaps because of her feelings, she sang this piece of Swallow Paper very well. Not only did Liu Yongxi feel heartbroken, but even Empress Zhang and Ma Chaocai felt pity for me. They all felt that such a person could be the daughter of the Ruan family. Even Ruan Shengping, who could not understand Nanjing Mandarin at all, was heartbroken by Ruan Lizhen, who had first met.
The person who lost the most today is Zhu Meier. Although she is the owner of this flower boat, everyone never looked at her directly. Even if someone occasionally glanced at her, some inconspicuous little people stared at her in a daze, and then immediately applauded Ruan Lizhen.
