There were a few younger young ladies who looked at Xianglan's face, and tears were about to fall.

Dong Ruyi just said that they were good-looking, but the obvious praise turned into sarcasm at the moment.

They all forgot the disappointed look of 'it's just that' when they saw Dong Ruyi's appearance for the first time.

At this moment, even Hu's face was a little unsightly, because of the bead flowers on Xianglan's head, one of her concubines carried it.

And the third lady behind her, who was carrying the same beaded flowers as Xianglan, secretly pulled the beaded flowers off her head, and then held them tightly in her hands.

Even her fingers were punctured by the silver hairpin on the beaded flower, she didn't feel it, she only felt shame, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground at the moment.

When the second lady saw Xianglan's dress, her eyeballs almost didn't fall out, and she hurriedly said, "Sister Ru is sleepy, take her to rest." ”

Zhou's mother hurriedly stepped forward to hug Dong Ruyi, and then went out with Xianglan.

The other wives who originally wanted to keep Dong Ruyi had not yet reacted from the shock just now, and Dong Ruyi had already been taken away by Zhou's mother.

In the audience later, Dong Ruyi never appeared again, she only appeared once when she offered her birthday gift.

She didn't prepare any birthday gifts, but just gave Dong Wende a piece of high-quality Hui ink.

When many people saw Dong Ruyi's appearance, they all sighed that she was mediocre, the Dong family was all good-looking, and the Chen family was all beautiful men.

Dong Ruyi doesn't care about her appearance, what she cared about in her last life was that she was not born by Dong Wende.

And in this life, she doesn't care if she is biological or not, thinking that in the previous life, she could even live for her father, what did she care about.

The moment she woke up, she didn't care.

Dong Ruyi finished her birthday gift, and she didn't have to find a chance to slip away by herself, so Mrs. Dawei arranged it for her, but the girl next to her was too eye-catching.

There are a lot of people today, and Mrs. Dame doesn't want anyone drunk to make trouble under her nose.

The eldest lady's birthday was spent in the dissatisfaction of many people.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming up in two days, Mu Zhai and Tang Ji both gave Dong Ruyi New Year's gifts and carrier pigeons, and told her that their industry would not rest for the New Year this year. But if there is anything, you can fly pigeons and pass them on at any time.

After Dong Ruyi heard this, he rolled his eyes and said: "This is the money that wants to go crazy, tell our people, tomorrow will be closed for the New Year, and the door will open on the seventeenth year." ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve of Xidong was spent in Dongdong, and after the fifth day of the new year, people began to visit.

This year, the Dong family visited a lot of people, especially the ladies of the back house. Even those who didn't interact with the Dong family before, all came.

One by one, they were all inquiring about how Dong Ruyi's studies were doing, and some even said that the old lady Dong didn't say a word to this world-famous female show when she celebrated her birthday, and asked to see her.

It's a pity that the meeting was rejected by Dong Ruyi.

Dong Ruyi directly asked Zhou's mother to reply, saying that she didn't dare to leave the room for a step, saying that her "Daughter's Sutra" had not yet been memorized, and also asked the second wife to give her a copy of "The Legend of the Martyr".

At the beginning, the second old lady did say that if he was not familiar with "Three Cong", "Four Virtues", "Daughter Sutra", and "The Legend of the Martyr", he was not allowed to go anywhere.

But as far as the second wife knows, Dong Ruyi has been running out a lot these days.

The second wife was very satisfied with Dong Ruyi only seeing her speak for her in front of the second wife, and she didn't want Dong Ruyi to wander around with the one named Xianglan.

Thinking about Lao Ba's straight eyes, she had a headache, thinking about the New Year, looking for an opportunity to send people away.

Dong Ruyi really started to study books, and this time she rarely even went out of Yixin Courtyard.

Ruji teahouse came to a big business after the year, and a brainless person actually bet 10,000 taels of silver to bet on Dong Ruyi's solution.

The shopkeeper of Min Da was dizzy when he heard it, where did this stupid fork come from, it is obvious that this person is not here to fight, this is simply taking 10,000 taels of silver.

He hurriedly asked people to check, and found that the person who placed the bet turned out to be the third master of the Chen family, Chen Mingli.

How dare the shopkeeper Min hide it, he directly took the account book to find Chen Mingxing.

He always asks what the hell is going on.

Chen Mingxing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked the shopkeeper Min.

The shopkeeper Min said: "Fortunately, this is the business of the owner and the second master, if the third master goes to another house, won't he throw the silver into the water." ”

Chen Mingxing said: "If you want the shopkeeper to sit down for a while, I will let someone find my third brother and ask him to bring the documents over." ”

Chen Mingli did come, and he said generously: "I bet on me, I just want to cheer up Sister Ru and tell her that her uncles support her." ”

Chen Mingxing......

Min's shopkeeper......

Shopkeeper Min shook his head and said in his heart: "It is said that Second Master Chen and Third Master Chen are brothers of the same mother, how can there be such a big difference?"

Chen Mingxing said: "Third child, don't make trouble, fortunately, this gambling plate was set up by me and Sister Ru, hurry up and return the bills, take the silver and leave." ”

Chen Mingli shook his head and said: "The gentleman is quick to say a whip, I will not take back this note, not to mention that there is still the silver of the fourth and fifth brothers." ”

Chen Mingxing was shocked: "You also pulled the fourth and fifth brothers. ”

Chen Mingli said crookedly: "If you want me to say, you and your eldest brother should also bet on the top of your sister, if you don't bet on ten thousand eight, then you are not worthy of being like the uncle that my sister called you." ”

After Chen Mingli finished speaking, he left in high spirits.

Chen Ming was so angry that he almost smashed the cup in his hand, but he stopped when he saw the shopkeeper Min sitting on the side.

Shopkeeper Min's eyes widened in shock, he was completely speechless to this Third Master Chen, no wonder Jiang Ning has an old saying, you can't mess with anyone in the Chen family.

Originally, he still thought that this Second Master Chen was kind, although the Dong family was small, they were also reasonable, and felt that the rumors were not credible.

This time he finally understood.

Chen Mingxing said angrily: "I'm really too lazy to pay attention to him, he is willing to make up for me and Sister Ru with more money, so let him make it up." ”

Chen Mingxing is all angry talk, if you want to say who is the poorest in the Chen family, it must be Chen Mingli, he buys calligraphy and paintings and inkstones on weekdays, and it all costs a lot of silver.

Plus they don't know how to run a business,

It wasn't Wan's boast at the beginning, if their three-room property hadn't been taken care of by the clan, they would have to sit on the mountain in less than five years.

In the end, Chen Mingxing forced out a smile and sent away the shopkeeper Min.

Fortunately, Chen Mingxing was very busy during this time, and soon forgot about Chen Mingli.

On the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Chen Jingzhi attended the poetry meeting of the literati in Jiangning, he is a great Confucian in the literary world in Jiangning, and he attended such a literati gathering, but he came the latest and left the earliest.

When everyone saw Chen Jingzhi arrive, they all fell silent.
