Zhiruo is curious, Rudong is simple-minded, but he is not a simple-minded, chattering person, what can make Rudong so surprised and gaffe, can only say that it is really strange for that person to appear on this street, or to say that it is really strange to appear in front of the Xuxiangfang shop.

Ruchun obviously thought the same way, and subconsciously leaned on the window to look outside, and exhaled directly in the next second: "Yin Zhiqing, why is she here?"

Yin Zhiqing?Zhiruo squinted her eyes, no wonder the two maids were surprised, she was also surprised, if it was in the previous life, or before the mountain robbery, it would not be strange for Zhiqing to appear in Los Angeles, at that time the Ye family was not suspended, and the Ye family and the Ji family were still close cousins.

If you don't want to know, Ruchun over there whispered again: "Ye ...... Ye Fang'er ???"

Zhiruo couldn't help it, and also stretched out his head, Ruchun and the two quickly got out of the way, letting Zhiruo move to the window.

Maybe there were a lot of people on the street outside, or maybe Ah Xiang also found something, the carriage was driving very slowly, and when Zhiruo saw it, the carriage happened to pass by the door of the "Xiangfang", and she saw Yin Zhiqing in pink at a glance, and Ye Shi who was standing behind her as a mother-in-law and a terrifying scar on her face. It is also known that the three masters and servants are too familiar with the Ye family, otherwise they really can't recognize it. Zhiruo frowned: Which song is this?

Yin Zhiqing, who was standing on the side of the road waiting for his carriage, said impatiently: "Why is it so slow? I'm dying of hunger." ”

"It's coming, isn't it over there?" Ye Shi pointed to a carriage around the corner, "This road is too crowded, but it's still much better than our capital's Fugui Street." If it was Fugui Street, a big carriage like the one in front would not dare to enter at all, preferring to take a detour or get down to walk. ”

Zhiqing glanced at the carriage that her mother was referring to and snorted arrogantly: "It's not much bigger than ours, it's ugly." "The colors are gray, there is no carving or decoration at all.

Ye shook his head: "Don't look down on that carriage, ordinary people can't afford it." If I'm not mistaken, the people use fine hard wood, and a special layer of paint, and it is said that the fire is difficult, and the arrow can't shoot through, by the way, you look at the curtain, you can't even see a figure in it, right? But from the inside, it is unobstructed, and the old lady of Wu Ge's old house uses such a carriage. She used to have a good relationship with the third lady of Wu Ge's hometown, and after hearing the third lady say it, she heard that the carriage was spacious and comfortable, and there were beds, which were especially suitable for long-distance travel.

Referring to being suitable for long-distance travel, Ye suddenly thought, "By the way, when Yin Zhiruo got married and left Beijing, the county lord of Qianxin also ordered such a big carriage." It's just that the county lord of Qianxin doted on Yin Zhiruo too much, and added more requirements, until the night before Yin Zhiruo left Beijing, the carriage was delivered, and it was wrapped in red brocade and red flowers, and she really hadn't seen the original appearance of the carriage.

Hmph, Ye Shi glanced at his lips, what are the requirements, the process is complicated and difficult to do, it's not that the cheap woman of the county lord of Qianxin is too careful, for fear that who in the mansion can't help but secretly climb into the carriage to take a look (there is a custom in the Daying Dynasty that the carriage and sedan chair for sending relatives are not allowed to let other people, especially other women, sit on it first)?

Ye's brain was excited, and he hurriedly stretched out his head to take a closer look, but unfortunately the carriage had already sped up, and there were no marks on the carriage, and the coachman who was driving the carriage was wearing a bamboo hat, and the brim of his hat and the cloth pocket that shaded the sun hung down, so he couldn't see his appearance at all, so she couldn't run to the front to see, right?

Zhiqing looked at her mother's demeanor and movements, and also thought of something, her eyes flashed with fierceness that was extremely incommensurate with her age, and raised her eyebrows: "How can it be so coincidental? Even if the carriage is really as good as my mother said, there are many rich and noble families in Luozhou, and she is not the only one who can use such a carriage in a broken household." ”

Yin Zhiqing hates Yin Zhiruo very much, he is obviously stupid and naïve, but he has a powerful father who can fight and a mother who is noble and can collect money, he has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and his food and clothing are about to catch up with the royal princess. finally collapsed, she thought that Yin Zhiruo would be trampled into the mud from now on, and the Yaxiu Pavilion and Biquanzhuang that she coveted would belong to their second room, and she could finally be the eldest daughter of her Yin family with her eyebrows raised. didn't want Yin Zhiruo to suddenly change her temperament, ruined all the plans of her mother and the Qiu family, caught them off guard, and then caused her mother and the cousin of the Qiu family to lose their reputation, and her mother was even abandoned.

"Crack", Yin Zhiqing's carefully trimmed and cared for nail broke in her palm, God is so unfair, obviously Yin Zhiruo is only the daughter of a rebel now, an abandoned woman, but she can live freely with a rich dowry, and her life as a concubine of an official family is not as good as day by day, and now she has to travel thousands of miles to please a lame concubine......

Ye sighed secretly, and took Zhiqing's hand to check in distress: "It's going to be fine, you will definitely live better than that little slut in the future." ”

Zhiqing, who was angry, shook off Ye's hand at once, most of her current life is not caused by this mother's stupidity and bad luck? Grandmother and father are right, there must be a reason why her mother is not liked by her grandfather's family, if they had known that her mother was a woman who even disliked her biological mother and father and brother, she would definitely not marry her mother. At this time, Zhiqing didn't think about it at all, the Ye family didn't marry into the Yin family, and there would be no Yin Zhiqing's existence.

Ye's eyes darkened, her husband abandoned her, her two sons did not recognize her, her mother's family expelled her from the clan, and now even the daughter she held in the palm of her hand is more and more unwilling to see her. Although her daughter is having a hard time because of her motherhood, isn't everything she does for the sake of the three of them? Even now, she is still thinking of remedies and fighting for her daughter, isn't it?

Now Zhiqing wants to marry into the official family again, either to be a steproom full of children as soon as she enters the door, or to be a concubine, it is better to marry a wealthy businessman and be the original wife. Although the eldest young master of the Hong family is a concubine and has some slopes, after all, he is the only son of the Hong family, and now he is also recorded in the name of the deceased wife of the Hong family as a son-in-law, and only he can inherit the family business of the Hong family in the future, right?

The Hong family in Sichuan started by making pickles and sauces, and now the business is all over Daying, although it cannot be compared with the rich imperial merchant family like Luo Dayou, but it is also a big businessman on the rich side, and the Xu family, the quasi-in-law of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, otherwise Yin Hui would not approve, and allowed her to quietly take Zhiqing south into Sichuan to pay homage to the Hong family's concubine Cheng.

Cheng was good friends with Ye when he was a girl, and Ye also did Cheng a big favor. Later, the Cheng family fell, and the Cheng family married Hong Wei, a businessman who fell in love with her at first sight and was shocked, as a concubine and went to Sichuanzhou. As the wife of the official family, although the Ye family does not look down on the Cheng family who is a concubine, the New Year's gift sent by the Cheng family every year is not thin, and it is far away in Sichuanzhou, she has always maintained contact with the Cheng family, anyway, no one in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing knows about it, and it will not affect her reputation.

Now, she is very glad that she did not cut off contact with Cheng, leaving a way back for her and Zhiqing.

Although Hong Wei's wife didn't know what to caught, she forced Hong Wei to swear never to correct Cheng before she died, and Cheng was not allowed to interfere in the family affairs of the concubine she left behind, but Cheng's chess was a good move, Hong Wei refused to remarry, and less than ten days after the death of his wife, he recorded his son Hong Tu in the name of his wife and became a son-in-law. Then, the Cheng family still holds the power of being the housewife in the name of the concubine, and the Hong family will be the Cheng family and her children from then on, hehe, in the future, it will be Zhiqing and her children. What does it matter if you are a merchant woman for the time being? The most important thing is to live a prosperous life, and in the future, if you will train one or two sons who are promising, will you not do the same?

Cheng's intention to marry this family is to thank her for "never leaving" for more than ten years, and secondly, is it because Zhiqing is still the daughter of the official family, and Yin Hui, the father of Zhiqing, is still a Beijing official, and now the Yin family is still close to the prince?

As long as she is a girl from an official family, she has no intention of the identity of the official family, and the same is true for the Cheng family. If it weren't for the sequelae of Hong Tu's accidental fall and leg injury when he was five or six years old, Cheng and Hong Wei would definitely have trained him to take the path of scientific examination and entry into the official (the imperial court did not accept people with disabilities to enter the official at all). Hongtu can't do it, but Hongtu's son can, if there is another grandfather who is an official in the court, the hope will be greater, isn't it?

Therefore, the two families hit it off, and Yin Hui, who was short of money and worried that his daughter would not be able to marry, thought about it for one night, so he quietly sent Zhiqing, who only brought a personal maid, out of the city to meet with the Ye family, and even gave Zhiqing 300 taels of silver tickets as the cost of the mother and daughter going south.

The Ye family was sad, their carriage came, Zhiqing's maid Shuxiang got down from the carriage and helped Zhiqing get into the car, while saying to the Ye family: "The Qingyuan Marquis Mansion did take the cousin's wife back to the house, but it is said that the maid said that our girl would visit tomorrow, but they still went to report, and the cousin's wife also took the post." ”

Ye nodded, she knew that the Ji family would be willing to see Zhiqing, not because she was thinking about their old relationship, but because the Yin Hui brothers had "returned" to the Yin family in Ningzhou, and the Yin family in Ningzhou had a close relationship with the prince, and a girl was about to enter the palace. Second, Zhiqing is a junior and innocent, if the Ji family is angry with Zhiqing, it will damage her own reputation even more.

Zhiqing got into the carriage and frowned: "I know that she won't treat us if we go, so why bother to come to the door to bring shame on myself?" Not to mention how much my cousin Ji hates her mother, let's just say that Ji is difficult to protect herself now, what can I help them with? That Qingyuan Hou Mansion is also an empty shelf, otherwise Hou Ye's cousin would not want to marry a merchant girl to be Mrs. Hou, right?

Ye Shi shook his head: "The starving camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how poor the Hou Mansion is, there are still a lot of conveniences, not to mention that your cousin Hou Ye is indeed a little capable, much stronger than the old Hou Ye." Your cousin is the biological mother of Hou Ye, no matter what, Hou Ye must honor her and give her face. Therefore, whether it is the business of the Hong family or your son's scientific expedition in the future, there is always a good and no harm in having a Houfu relative. Qing'er, if it weren't for the fact that I had kept an eye on it for more than ten years and had not broken off the relationship with the Cheng family, I would ...... now We also ...... There is no way to do it. ”

Zhiqing pursed her lips, but didn't say anything more after all.

"Qing'er," Ye continued, "You have to believe in Niang, although what Niang did before had a very bad impact on you, but this time, Niang will not be wrong in the path she chose for you, although Hong Tu has a little lame foot, but it is not strict, it does not affect walking, and he really doesn't look bad, it is said that his talent is also good, and now he has followed his father Master Hong to take care of business." "For so many years, Cheng's letters have always praised her son for his good looks, and he has never forgotten what he intends to do faster than the old tent......

hasn't seen the real person yet, whether Hong Tu is really that smart Ji is not sure, but it can be inferred from the appearance of Hong Wei and Cheng that Hong Tu's appearance will definitely not be bad.

Zhiqing has always attached great importance to skin appearance, and when she was very young, she said that the husband she was going to marry in the future must be both talented and beautiful, and she must not be ugly. Hearing Ye emphasize Hong Tu's appearance so much, after all, she was a little girl who had not yet reached the end of her life, and her face turned red. To be honest, although entangled in Hong Tu's concubine background and lameness, Zhiqing still chose to marry into the Hong family to enjoy happiness as a housewife, otherwise she would not agree to go to Sichuan with her mother to pay homage to her birthday.

The comparison with Yin Zhiruo since she was a child, as well as the changes in the Yin family in the past year, have made her deeply aware of the power of silver, her mother is right, poor couples mourn everything, even if the Qiu family has a marquis, the lack of silver is still not smooth, and in the end, don't you want to marry a merchant girl?

Seeing Zhiqing's face full of shame, Ye knew that she had completely figured it out, and her heart was relieved, she had no hope in this life, and she couldn't expect her two sons to serve her in the future, and her only daughter could still let her care for the elderly without worrying about food and clothing. Therefore, if Zhiqing is good, she can be good, and all she can do now is to do her best to think for Zhiqing.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, after being silent for a long time, it was almost time to arrive at the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, Zhiqing suddenly said: "Mother, since we have arrived in Los Angeles, why don't we go to Meizhuang to have a look?" Before her mother mentioned Yin Zhiruo because of the big carriage, she really didn't have such thoughts at all.

Ye immediately shook his head: "We came out quietly this time, don't make extraneous branches!" My mother knows that you are angry in your heart, and my mother hates that little slut even more, but now it is really not appropriate to cause trouble again." Qing'er, my mother just couldn't hold her breath to get to the point where she is today, you have to remember that you can't be impulsive in everything, and it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. "She's really scared, so Yin Zhiruo is too ...... It was unexpected, or rather, too evil!

The Ye mother and daughter finally avoided Yin Zhiruo, quietly visited the Ji family, and left Los Angeles early the next morning. However, what they didn't know was that before their carriage left the city, what they said and did in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion had already been placed on Zhiruo's desk. R1152
