Ruqiu looked at Zhiruo in disbelief, and glanced at Ji Shi again, but just happened to bump into the disgust that flashed in Ji's eyes, and before she could come back to her senses, she heard Ji Shi laugh dryly: "I also heard that your female popularity and embroidery skills are particularly outstanding, I have long wanted to sell my favor and ask your eldest girl for you." I don't want to think about what happened today, so if I ask you to be a maid again, won't I slap Lu Da in the face? It will also damage the reputation of your girl, so I have to let you be a concubine for the prince, which is also the blessing of your girl. ”

Ruqiu was naturally happy when she got the confirmation she wanted, but Ji's words made her feel awkward, she just wanted to ask her to be a maid? And what is the reason for that disgust? Dislike that she is from a maid and is not worthy of being Qiu Shizi's concubine? Or blame her for being useless, she has not been able to help Qiu Shizi calculate the girl for so long?

Suddenly, a spirit, Ruqiu thought of the other information in Zhiruo's words just now, in addition to her wish to enter the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion as a concubine. It has nothing to do with the Qingyuanhou Mansion? It also includes her, the "concubine of the Qingyuanhou Mansion"? What did the girl talk about with Mrs. Qiu? What agreement did she reach to sever contact? Ruqiu shuddered violently, so why should she win the favor of Qiu Shizi and Mrs. Qiu in the future? Will they even be angry with her?

At this moment, the magpie came in with two pieces of paper: "Girl, this is the contract written by the eldest young master according to the meaning that Sister Ruchun asked the slave to convey." ”

Zhiruo took it and quickly read through it, and asked Ruchun to hand it to Ji. This is a manuscript she had already written and put in Ming Ze, and Ming Ze just copied it once, so it looks like it is ink talent, and there is still the fragrance of ink.

Ji Shi took a serious look at it, and while he was indignant, he had to secretly marvel. I heard before that although Yin Mingze was not in good health, he was very smart and talented, and he was admitted to Xiucai before he was thirteen years old. Now it seems that it is true, the contract is very simple and easy to see. But the theme is clear and the words are rigorous. There are no loopholes or loopholes to exploit.

The contract states that it was Mrs. Qingyuanhou who personally came to the door to ask for embroidery Niang Ruqiu, and Zhiruonian sent Ruqiu to Qingyuanhou Mansion on the former friendship between the two old ladies, as for letting Ruqiu be a maid, an embroidery girl, or a concubine, it is all a matter of Qingyuanhou's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with Zhiruo and Meizhuang. Since then, the two families have been severed. Don't bother each other.

In other words, after signing this contract, it will be difficult for Qiu Yiran, or anyone in their Qiu family to come to Meizhuang under the pretext of all kinds of concerns, worries, etc., and it will be even more difficult to calculate Yin Zhiruo.

Ji Shi sneered: "If you are a girl, does it have to be like this? Isn't it too strict to break off righteousness? Although you have reconciled with Yi'er, our Qiu family is still willing to help you if there is anything." ”

Ruqiu was taken aback. Sure enough, the girl really wanted to sign a contract with the Qiu family to sever contact, that is, it was not okay for her to come to Meizhuang to "walk" in the future.

In a hurry, Ruqiu couldn't help but blurt out: "Girl, don't want it." In any case, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is worthy of words in this Los Angeles. ”

Zhiruo frowned again: "It's really getting more and more unruly, when will it be my turn to say whether you want it or not?" Even if you may become the concubine of the prince of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in ten days. In my Meizhuang, I am just a slave and an embroiderer. ”

Although Zhiruo's voice was soft, his words were very heavy. Not only was Ruqiu's face red-eared and red-eared, but even the Ji family and Qin Pozi also felt something strange. But I can't catch any fault with this on the surface, isn't Ruqiu the embroidery girl and slave maid of the Yin family?

Qin Pozi sighed secretly, quietly pulled the Laji clan, and reminded her to sign and leave, stay for a while, just be a little more angry. It's just a shame for yourself, but today this contract has to be signed. Otherwise, once Yin Zhiruo agrees to Lu Da's proposal tomorrow, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is likely to suffer even greater humiliation in the future.

If you know that the reprimand is like autumn. When he turned to Ji's family, he smiled politely: "Thank you Mrs. Qiu for your kindness, but I rejected Lu Daming's request to marry Ruqiu, but I gave Ruqiu to your Hou Mansion." Outsiders don't know, and they think that I want to climb the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, how wronged is this? Or is it better to declare grace and righteousness, it will be beneficial to both of us. ”

How wronged? What are you wronged? Is it still insulting her as the daughter of a criminal minister when she climbs the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion? Ji was so angry that he gritted his teeth. I don't want to, at this moment, a mother-in-law outside the door came to report: "Big girl, someone is coming from Beijing, and it was sent by King Jing's Mansion and Tiefu to give New Year's gifts." The girl has a guest here, and Aunt Qiang first beckoned the two housekeepers and mothers to dinner, and said that she would come to see the girl later. ”

Zhiruo was secretly surprised, it was expected that Tiefu would send someone to give a New Year's gift, and it was really unexpected. Although King Jing once mentioned that the princess would often send people over, so that people would know that Meizhuang was taken care of by King Jing, Zhiruo only thought that it was just a polite remark. Of course, the New Year's gift she gave to King Jing's Mansion was ready.

In any case, King Jing's Mansion has such a heart, and it is always a good thing that he can't ask for, especially the person who gave the New Year's gift came so coincidentally, just so that the Ji family personally bumped into it.

"Well," Zhiruo replied easily, "It's hard for them on such a cold day, so let's prepare some warm wine in the kitchen, and then add hot pot to everyone who comes." "When I came out to give New Year's gifts, in addition to the housekeeper's mother-in-law, there were at least three or five people, and the two mansions added up to about ten people. And it is estimated that coming to Los Angeles to give New Year's gifts must not only give her family, but because of Tie Muyuan's friendship with their Yin family, they came to Meizhuang first, and of course they lived in Meizhuang.

The woman hurriedly replied: "Yes, I heard that the powerful steward has already ordered this, and is asking people to arrange their accommodation, and they have added charcoal basins and thick quilts. ”

Zhiruo nodded, there are Qiangbo and Qi Bo here, and she doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

Zhiruo was naturally relaxed, but Ji and Ruqiu were panicking.

It was the first time that Ruqiu had heard that King Jing's Mansion had dealings with his own girl, how could it be? When the general and the county lord were still there, King Jing's Mansion and the General Mansion of Zhenbei didn't seem to be so close? Why now......

The Ji family was even more stunned for a moment, this god is against her, right? She was muttering that if Yin Zhiru's daughter was a criminal minister, she should take care of their Qiu family, then the person who gave the New Year's gift from the Jingwang Mansion would arrive?

Silently, Ji took the brush handed over by Ruchun and signed her name on the contract in duplicate. As soon as she put down the pen, a box of ink clay was placed on the table in front of her, and it was obvious that she was asking her to press her handprint.

It's not a business, how much money is involved, is it necessary to be so formal? Ji Shi was about to open his mouth to shirk it, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Ruo was pressing a handprint under her own name on another contract, so she had to grind her teeth fiercely, and she also printed a big red handprint.

Zhiruo handed over the share he kept to Ruchun to collect, and said with a good smile: "Mrs. Qiu, do you want to use some snacks first? It will take half an hour to go back to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion from here." ”

"No need, I'll wait in the house. Ji snorted coldly, and didn't want to look at Zhiruo's bright smiling face again, such a smile made her even more angry, the previous very stupid and naïve Yin Zhiruo always laughed heartlessly like this.

Zhiruo didn't mind Ji's cold attitude, and said with a smile: "Then the lady walks slowly, Zhiruo won't send it." Ruqiu, you send Mrs. Qiu for me. ”

Ruqiu was about to respond, but Ji Shi threw over a cold sentence: "No need, just the mother-in-law who led the way just now can show us the way, she knows where our carriage stops." She was already angry, and she wanted her to face the fox all the way, but I was afraid that I couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhiruo was not reluctant, and said very understandingly: "Magpie, you can also send it together, if Mrs. Qiu needs anything, she can help in time." ”

As long as it wasn't Ruqiu, the Ji family didn't refuse anymore, only a rough mother-in-law sent it on her behalf, she was indeed too faceless, this magpie was like a henchman beside Yin Zhiruo.

The magpie led Ji and Mrs. Qin out, and as soon as they walked out of the courtyard gate, they met Rudong who was carrying a food box. Rudong Laoyuan recognized the Ji family at a glance, so he was angry, naturally he couldn't be more respectful, he just lowered his head slightly like meeting ordinary guests and avoided it, and only when the Ji family walked past her did he ask: "Magpie, is the girl free at this time?"

As soon as she heard that the visitor was Mrs. Qingyuanhou, she went to the small kitchen to test the girl's new double-skin milk recipe, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pretend to be good and ruin the girl's affairs to the ungrateful and calculating Qiu family.

But at this moment, hehe, looking at Ji's constipated and ugly face, presumably the girl has already got the things as she wished, and she doesn't have to care if this bad woman is happy or not. As long as you don't break the etiquette, catch the handle for the Ji family, and bring the girl's reputation. asked her to come forward to please, phew, she was not as cheap as Qiu.

Ji recognized Rudong as the big maid by Zhiruo's side, but saw that she didn't recognize who she was, and the anger that had just been suppressed for a while came up again, and she was about to have a seizure, but she was pulled by Qin Pozi, so she held her breath and continued to move forward. After taking a few steps, Mrs. Qin whispered: "Madam, at this time, there is no need to worry about a maid. "It is right for a maid and slave of a large family to hang their heads and avoid the side when they meet a guest on the road, and it is only a joke to worry about a maid who does not recognize herself and does not come forward to salute. What's more, now the Qiu family has a request for Yin Zhiruo, and it is really the next step to make a fuss about this little thing at this time.

Rudong got the magpie nodded to confirm that the girl was empty, and then happily walked in, she succeeded in making double skin milk for the first time, and took one over to give the girl a cushion on her stomach to appetize. She just believes that the girl must have lost her appetite in the face of that Ji. (To be continued)
