Chapter 257: The Trick of Money
Zhuo Minglei smiled slightly, as if he was interested, "If there is anything, Mo'er can just say it directly." ”
"It's not a big deal, I just want to bother the little prince to go home quickly, I still have some things to do. Fan Yao's eyebrows curled into a smile.
Zhuo Minglei knocked on his head with a folding fan, and then he began to drive people away, no matter what, everything he wanted to do had already been done.
"Then I won't bother too much, farewell. Zhuo Minglei took a deep breath and stood up.
"Then I won't send you more. Fan Yao smiled and waved at him, watching his back go away, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually converged.
Mother Liu saw that the little prince was gone, so she closed the door and entered the house.
"Mo'er, why are you doing this?" the eldest lady asked puzzled.
"Mother, today I will help you take back the power of the family from that Tong Xiaoniang, you can watch it. ”
Fan Yao's smile was bright, showing Su Mo's inner emotions vividly.
Mother Chi on the long street watched the little prince walk away, rubbed her hands happily, and hurriedly strode back to return to Shuizhai.
Tong Xiaoniang and Zhao Ruotong were standing under the eaves to enjoy the snow, and when they saw Chi's mother coming back, they immediately greeted them.
"It's cold outside, little lady, big girl, let's go back to the house. Mother Chi squinted her eyes and followed Tong Xiaoniang back to the house.
A few people dusted off the snow on their shoulders at the door and went into the house.
Tong Xiaoniang and Zhao Ruotong took off their cloaks and sat in front of the charcoal fire to roast their hands, and Mother Chi walked over with a thief-like look and said softly: "Little mother, I see if the little prince is leaving, shall we wait and go again, or will we go over here?"
Tong Xiaoniang fiddled with the jewelry on her head and thought carefully, and after a while, she frowned and looked at Zhao Ruotong, "Dye...... You said...... Shall we call your father?"
"Although the power of the family is in my hands, it is not good to speak for me without anyone, besides, if your father goes, he can also show him the unsatisfactory virtue of the eldest lady. ”
Zhao Ruotong stuffed a piece of pastry from the plate into her mouth, and saw her nod slowly: "Mother Chi, then you go and invite your father." ”
"Yes. ”
"Just let him go to Xianyun Pavilion to count the things sent by the little prince, if he directly explains the intention, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion. Tong Xiaoniang instructed Chi's mother when she was about to close the door.
"Don't worry, the old slave knows what to say. With that, he quickly closed the door, for fear of running in the cold wind.
Zhao Ruotong got up, picked up the cloak and draped it over his shoulders, and then gave Tong Xiaoniang a look, "Xiaoniang, let's go." ”
Tong Xiaoniang stood up with a smile and followed Zhao Ruotong to Xianyun Pavilion, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was dazzled by those baby-lifters.
She suddenly gasped and muttered in a low voice: "This little prince is really generous, cheaper than that dead girl." ”
Zhao Ruotong paused, and looked sideways at him Tong Xiaoniang with a smug smile on his face, "Xiaoniang doesn't have to be angry, this trip will be ours." ”
The two of them walked more and more briskly as they spoke.
The eldest lady and Fan Yao heard a movement outside the house and got up to check, who expected to see Jing Shuizhai's son, mother and daughter.
"What are you doing here?" asked the eldest lady in a cold voice.
Tong Xiaoniang smiled, slowly walked to the nearest box and touched it, and then sighed: "Oh, who is so generous......? It's enough to have a hundred and ten lifts. ”
Anyone could tell that something was wrong with this sour tone, Fan Yao took a step forward slightly, stood on the steps and looked at her, "The little prince sent it here for temporary preservation." ”
Tong Xiaoniang hid her face with a handkerchief and chuckled, "Second girl, don't tease me, there is still a red ribbon tied on it, I look like a dowry." ”
"Yes, sister, the little prince is really good to you, you will be hired when you say that you will be hired, unlike Brother Tianqi, who is busy all day long, and he doesn't have time to come and see me. Zhao Ruotong frowned lightly as he spoke, and let out a sigh.
Fan Yao squinted slightly to hide the deep smile in her eyes, "Tie the red ribbon is a dowry? It seems that you two are really people who have never been married." ”
"What are you talking about, second girl, if I didn't marry into an official family, where else could I have your sister?"
Tong Xiaoniang smiled and sloppily eyes, but Fan Yao was unwilling to let them go easily.
I heard that she seemed to have heard some particularly funny joke, and she couldn't close her mouth when she laughed, and said in a voice that was about to lose her breath: "Little Niang's words are really funny." ”
Tong Xiaoniang was stunned, and an embarrassed smile appeared on her face, "What does the second girl mean by this?" ”
"The little lady was originally a maid bought back from outside by my mother, and climbed into my father's bed with her back to seek glory, how can she be considered married?"
Fan Yao pulled the eldest lady back a few steps and stood under the eaves, and the snowflakes could no longer fall on their heads.
"It's just a slave of the Su family, and it's okay to talk about getting married, so that others can't laugh off their big teeth when they hear it. Fan Yao sneered and looked away.
The corners of Tong Xiaoniang's eyes twitched a few times, and she took a deep breath and said slowly: "What the second girl said is that the slave maid lost her words." ”
"In the world, there is no reason for masters and slaves to care about each other, where did the little lady come from, and where did she go back. Fan Yao's eyes were deep, she knew that Tong Xiaoniang would never leave, and she hadn't gotten what she wanted yet, so naturally it was impossible to return empty-handed.
Sure enough, Tong Xiaoniang sniffed, and made that weak and boneless pitiful appearance again, "I came here today to be a housekeeper, and this conversation is crooked." ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she looked away from the cold plum tree and slowly raised her eyes to look at her, "Why did your housekeeper still manage my yard?"
"The slave doesn't dare, but the official family puts the power of the family in my hands, and I have to do my best to share the burden for him. Tong Xiaoniang squinted at the eldest lady and said pretending to be frightened.
"So what?" the eldest lady asked coldly.
Tong Xiaoniang hurriedly raised the corners of her mouth and said eagerly: "It's not good for this dowry to be piled up in the yard, so which one is the fastest to pass out, I still think that our family doesn't pay attention to the little prince, it's better to ...... I'll take stock of it and send it to Curry, so ......"
Fan Yao didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and directly scolded her loudly, showing her no mercy at all: "Xiao Niang's ears and ears are dexterous enough, the little prince just walked on the front foot and your back foot arrived, and now he is trying to move his things, tsk...... It's so majestic. ”
Fan Yao turned slightly sideways and saw the eldest lady rubbing her hands under her sleeves, she secretly said negligently, and hurriedly ordered: "Mother Liu, go to the house and bring the hand warmer to the eldest lady." ”
There's a bigger scene to watch next, but you can't get caught up in it.
