Chapter 303 Ruyi (3)
Chapter 303 Ruyi (3)
Lu Changqing woke up early the next morning. After eating porridge and pickles with Suo Xin, he went to the well to fetch water to wash clothes.
Seeing this, Suo Xin hurriedly stopped Lu Changqing and said, "Master, go and have a rest. I will take care of these things."
Lu Changqing held Suo Xin's hand and said, "When the emperor demoted me to a commoner, you didn't have to come to this cold palace with me to suffer. It was my selfishness that forced me to bring you along, causing you to suffer so much."
Lu Changqing sincerely apologized: "惢心, I'm sorry! It was all my fault before. I was demoted to the cold palace and couldn't see the situation clearly. I was so dignified and acted like a master, making you do so much work alone."
Suo Xin replied to Lu Changqing, "Master, don't say that. I am your servant, and it is my duty to serve you."
Lu Changqing shook his head and said, "I am a commoner now, and you have no obligation to serve me. I will do these tasks in the future, but you will have to stay in the cold palace with me for a while."
"Master, there is nothing wrong with it. I did all this voluntarily."
Lu Changqing looked at惢心, thinking back to what she had just said. Although those were all her thoughts, to outsiders, they seemed really pretentious.
Especially when we know what kind of moral character her current body has in the novel, if the readers of the fan fiction saw what she said above, they would definitely scold her and ask her to jump into the West Lake so that everyone in Hangzhou can drink Longjing tea.
Seeing Su Xin like this, Lu Changqing stopped saying these pretentious words.
At this time, she would not instill anti-imperialist and anti-feudal ideas into Suoxin, as this would only harm her.
Lu Changqing patted Suo Xin's hand and said with a smile: "You volunteered to do these tasks, and I volunteered to do these tasks too. I won't force you, and you don't force me either, okay?"
A look of pity flashed across Suo Xin's face, "Master, you have suffered a lot."
When Suo Xin lowered her head, she saw Lu Changqing's hand and exclaimed, "Master, why did you cut your nails?"
Lu Changqing looked at the pair of chubby paws maliciously written by the author and said lightly: "It's inconvenient to work with nails, so I just cut them off."
Seeing that Suo Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Changqing didn't say anything more, just said: "You go sweep the yard, and I will wash these clothes."
After arranging the work for the two people, Lu Changqing squatted by the well and started washing clothes.
The惢心 in the fan fiction is not like the one in the drama, who seems to have been put under a spell and is mindlessly devoted to Ruyi. Now this惢心 has complaints against Ruyi.
If we say that Ruyi in the drama is a two-faced person who pretends on the surface, the Ruyi in this fan fiction doesn't even pretend. Her mind is as sinister as a maggot in a cesspool, even more stereotyped than the stereotypical evil female supporting role.
Earlier, Ruyi asked Ling Yunche to help sell handkerchiefs, but the other party wanted to charge a 40% handling fee.惢心 thought the fee was too high and advised Ruyi to forget it, saying that she could ask Jiang Yubin for help without charging any handling fee.
In this situation, anyone with a brain would know that they should look for Jiang, because they are now in the cold palace and urgently need money to solve their living problems. As for favors, they are owed, and at worst they can pay them back when they get out. If they can't get out, then it's just a matter of not paying them back.
But Ruyi was portrayed as a fool with an underdeveloped brain and cerebellum. Not only did she not listen to惢心's advice, she also secretly plotted against惢心 in her heart.
It is said that the eunuch Li Yu often visits herself (Ruyi), but why doesn't惢心 think of Li Yu? Instead, she thinks of Jiang Yubin, a man who has never come to visit them. This is simply ungrateful. In her heart, she curses惢心 for thinking about men and being restless.
Lu Changqing felt that the author was quite associative. When she saw Ruyi reject惢心's suggestion, she just thought that "Ruyi" didn't want to owe Jiang a favor, or that the plot deliberately wanted to bring "Ruyi" and Ling Yunche closer. She really couldn't think of such dark psychological activities.
Lu Changqing really doesn't want to whitewash "Ruyi" in the play, but the fan fiction is used to exaggerate "Ruyi's" fake stupidity. Such a portrayal is too dark, and it feels not much different from the creators of the TV series.
From here on,惢心 began to feel a little resentful towards "Ruyi". In addition, during her later days in the cold palace, "Ruyi" was only concerned with making herself beautiful, and she shook her head every day, missing the young man who missed her.
Not to mention helping惢心 with work, she didn't even embroider two handkerchiefs. She left all the work in the cold palace to惢心 alone.
Therefore,惢心 not only had to embroider handkerchiefs and do odd jobs day and night, but also had to find time to serve "Ruyi". As time went by, her resentment grew deeper.
惢心 is not the only one who betrayed "Ruyi", later Hai Lan and Rong Pei will also betray her.
In order to punish these four women, the author made them start to fight each other in the middle and late stages, exposing each other's shortcomings. You blame me, I hate her. To sum up, it was all "Ruyi's" fault. Before they died, the three of them wanted to kill "Ruyi".
When Lu Changqing thought of this, he burst out laughing.
Well, it’s really funny. The drama version of “Ruyi” does have some big problems, but can this be blamed entirely on her?
As I said, in the feudal dynasty, if there was a fire in the backyard, it must be the man’s inaction, don’t put all the blame on the woman.
How can so many bad things happen to a man who can control his crotch?
Don't say that it was normal for feudal emperors to have three palaces and six courtyards. It is really difficult to ask an emperor to have only one wife for his whole life. There are emperors in history who had only one wife.
Isn’t there one in the Zhu family in front?
Others can protect their crotch, why can't you? If you have been doing it for so long and still can't figure it out, shouldn't you look for the reason in yourself?
According to Lu Changqing, there is no point in fighting Ruyi to death. You still have to follow a group of women to serve a man and live according to his mood.
The person who deserves to die the most in the whole play is Hongli. If he had died earlier, so many things would not have happened later.
In addition to beating and quarreling, Lu Changqing's third specialty is embroidery. With her enthusiastic participation, making four handkerchiefs a day is no problem.
Suo Xin stared at Lu Changqing's rapidly fiddling right hand in astonishment, "Master, when did your embroidery skills become so good?"
Lu Changqing said without even looking up: "Human potential is unlimited. I never realized that I have such a terrifying talent in embroidery. It seems that the ancients were right. Adversity is the best way to train people."
Suo Xin was puzzled: "Which ancient said this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Lu Changqing made up a lie: "Modern people, surnamed Xian, given name Dairen."
"Master, why don't you take a break? You have been embroidering for half the afternoon."
She couldn't rest, not even for a moment. Lu Changqing no longer wanted to eat porridge and pickles every day. She wanted to eat meat, very much.
"That...惢心..." Lu Changqing stammered.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Lu Changqing said with a bashful face: "If you are free these two days, can you go and see Doctor Jiang?"
Suo Xin asked nervously, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no." Lu Changqing pointed to the handkerchiefs in the basket at the end of the bed and said awkwardly, "There are already more than forty handkerchiefs piled there. I want him to help sell some."
