"We're just staying for a while, so we don't have to bother the house too much. Thanks a lot. Ru Ji responded politely. No matter what Mrs. Shi Da has in mind, it is enough to see the move.

"Although it is a temporary residence, it is also a family in the end, if you need anything, don't be polite." Mrs. Shi didn't mention Jiang Yuexuan's house again, and after saying a few words, she directly asked the key sentence: "Grandma Mao, I heard that most of the sisters in the family have autumn birthdays?" I don't know if I like to drink osmanthus dew? This year, Linlin accompanied me to brew a lot, and a few more jars came out. ”

Ru Xi smiled vaguely, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Shi Er quietly. Previously, Mrs. Shi's second wife, the Zuo family, had been friends with the Chi family for so many years, and Mrs. Shi should have heard a little about the Pu family. But the relationship between the second room of the Shi family is mediocre, and Mrs. Shi has almost no contact with the Pu family, and suddenly she is so polite, the point is nothing more than the "sisters in the family" contained in the words. Could it be that Mrs. Cheng Shi wants to marry the Pu family? Do you want to ask Shi Zhonglang to marry Ruyan or Rushu?

What kind of idea is this? Ru Ji even felt that her eyebrows and heart were jumping, was this Mrs. Shi's own brain, or Mrs. Shi's construction?

However, casually dealing with Mrs. Shida's polite words, and thinking carefully about these relationships and contacts between the two families, it didn't seem so unreasonable. According to the mentality of Mrs. Shi Er's son as a Wenqu star, she probably won't tell the things about Rushu and herself and Shi Renlang before, although Shi Renlang can also be regarded as "suffering" here, but in the final analysis, Ruxi didn't take a fancy to Shi Renlang.

And the other freshest and strictest incident behind Jingfu Temple, except for the Pu family, the Chi family, and the Lu family, there was actually no leakage. After all, it is a huge scandal, it doesn't matter how the three families quarrel behind closed doors, no one will really be stupid and crazy to publicize it to the public. Although Geng's IQ may be a bit risky, but after the repeated beatings of Mrs. Lu, Chi and Ruji, she should have known by now that the capital is not the one-third of an acre of land in Jiyang, and the price of recklessness is not only empty of people and money, but also the future of her husband and son's life is difficult to say. Not to mention anything else, Chi Song, as a two-list jinshi, always knows what the price is to offend Huan Ningbo Mansion and Zhenguo General's Mansion.

In this way, in the case that outsiders don't know about that matter, it is reasonable to ask the remaining two girls of the Pu family who are in their flowering period.

It's just that, listening to Mrs. Shi's subsequent greetings, how interested is Chi Cuiliu, the daughter of the Chi family?

Ru Xi still coped with it without being salty or light, and after drinking the tea in the tea bowl, it was almost the end of the greeting to Mrs. Shi this time. Seeing that Mrs. Shi didn't really say anything too important, she helped Su Sanniang back to the courtyard of the third room after a perfunctory sentence.

"What is the character of the girl of the Chi family?" All the way back to the third room, Su Sanniang also asked, the direction in Mrs. Shi's words just now was still relatively clear, and Ru Ji was obviously perfunctory with the routine of playing Tai Chi.

Ru Ji thought about the various contacts in the past and present life: "To be honest, I don't have much contact with Chi Cuiliu. When I first arrived in the capital, when my stepmother, Mrs. Pu, was still proud, Chi Cuiliu didn't take me seriously, and her sister-in-law Shuang'e was also very mean. However, on the whole, she is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and knows that she is the eldest lady in Jiyang's family, but now she is no longer in Beijing. When encountering the strength of others, it will retreat, and it will not go all the way without knowing whether it is alive or dead. In this regard, he is also three points similar to Mrs. Pu. ”

Su Sanniang nodded: "The last time I was eating tea in the side hall of Gyeongbokgung Temple, I also felt that my temperament was not very stable. But the appearance is okay, and the eldest lady may ask you more questions. ”

Ru Ji pouted: "I don't want to get involved in their affairs." If it is really my brother, I will not build yì elders to ask to marry Cuiliu. But Shi Zhonglang's virtue, I won't want my sister to marry him. Anyway, it's all their fate, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Su Sanniang bowed her head: "Well, the gentleman breaks off friendship and doesn't speak badly." You don't have to say anything, let the eldest lady decide for herself. By the way, Mao'er said that she didn't sleep well lately? Are you tired? ”

Ru Ji shook her head: "Husband is too nervous, I'm fine." Maybe change the house and choose a seat, it is estimated that it will be fine in a few days. Mother, you're going to Chenzhou in August, will it be cold over there? I asked them to buy some good skins, and I can make you a hand guard. ”

Su Sanniang smiled: "You have made a lot of small things, so you don't have to be too troublesome." I used to be from Chenzhou, and I was used to it. ”

Ru Ji held Su Sanniang's hand, and gently leaned her head on her mother-in-law's shoulder as she used to be coquettish with her mother: "Oh, that's my heart, my mother went to Chenzhou, we don't see it often, and seeing the handguard is equivalent to seeing us." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed affectionately all the way back to the courtyard of the third room, and then went to the main room to discuss some clothes and sundries to bring to Chenzhou, and Ru Xi returned to Jiang Yuexuan.

As soon as I entered the door, I actually saw that the big girl Huang Juan next to Mrs. Shi was talking to Magenta, and she was waiting for Ruji.

"Hello Grandma." Huang Juan is a very good-faced maid beside Mrs. Shida, although she is not very old, she is a clever tongue with good eyebrows and eyes. The facial features are not too outstanding, but they are very white and greasy, and they are also a little dexterous and moving.

Ru Xi remembered that in her previous life, Huang Juan seemed to be the only one among the maids around Mrs. Shi who did not call Master Shi or Shi Zhonglang to take over the house, but the final ending didn't seem to be very good, but I can't remember it clearly. After all, the father and son of the Shi family in the previous life were all proud, the wives and concubines around them, and the various outer rooms of all colors were really called a chaotic flower gradually charming eyes, peach and willow green, warblers and swallows.

"What's the matter with Miss Yellow Silk?" Ru Ji probably has a number of points in her heart, so she is not in a hurry to change her clothes.

Huang Juan was a little surprised, this grandmother had only been to the Shi family three or four times in total when she was a girl, and she had not seen it in person. After the third wife got started, Grandma Mao came to live temporarily as a stepson and daughter-in-law of the third room, but she just took a photo when she asked the old lady to say goodbye, and she actually remembered her name? It seems that this grandmother is not as indifferent to the affairs of the Shi family as rumored.

Huang Juan smiled all over his face, and bent his knees and gave a slight blessing: "Grandma, the eldest lady said that the newly made osmanthus cake, please go over and taste it, and then talk." ”

Ru Xi nodded, since Mrs. Shi had the heart to ask more about the girls of the Pu family and the Chi family, it was not a suitable way to deal with it. But she didn't care about this matter originally, and it didn't hurt to talk a few words. Immediately, he didn't change his clothes, so he asked Magenta to serve and brushed his sideburns, and made up some pear pollen, and took Xia Yin to the courtyard of the long house with Huang Juan.

The courtyard of the Shijia family is in the middle of the road, which is one of the widest and oldest yards of the Shi family, with lush flowers and trees on the side of the road, and the stone road under the foot has not been renovated for a long time because of the years, and there are more or less two or three small potholes. Huang Juan led the way in front, and casually chatted about these laurel and plum trees planted in the long house.

Ru Xi can walk back and forth with her eyes closed on this road, and she casually gave two thanks, obviously not very interested, and her slow pace accurately avoided all the uneven parts of the road.

Huang Juan only felt more strange, but this was not a big deal in the end, and it was just in his heart.

Soon arrived at the main room of the long house, Mrs. Shi Da and Shi Linlin were eating tea and waiting for Ruji. When he greeted him, he was more affectionate than when he greeted the old lady: "Grandma Mao is here, sit down." ”

Ru Xi sat down: "The eldest lady is really polite, if you have something to ask, you might as well say it directly." After all, no matter how you say it now, it can be regarded as a family. Although I hate everyone in the long room and the second room very much, after all, Su San Niangzi is the real Mrs. Shi San, and this "family" is not a lie.

Mrs. Shi smiled: "Grandma Mao is really cool. Then I'll ask bluntly, what is the character of the cousin girl of the Chi family in the house? Are there any marriages that are looking at each other? ”

Ru Xi thought to herself, this is really very direct, Mrs. Shi really fell in love with Cuiliu? But it's reasonable.

Shi Zhonglang because of the previous pass. Traitor. The murder case can be said to be very famous among the children of Beijing, and the case was registered in front of the emperor. Although it is said that he can save his life because he is still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. But if you can do such a thing at the age of seventeen or eighteen, how can any serious person be willing to marry her girl?

It's just that Shi Zhonglang is the only son of Changfang after all, and now General Shi Ben is thriving, if it is said that Shi Zhonglang will be sent out of the capital to become a local rich man and marry a girl from a small place, Lord Shi and the eldest wife are unwilling. This is probably a common problem of all parents of bear children since ancient times, thinking that children who commit crimes are instigated by others, and even if they do something wrong, they can change it. As for the innocent of the injured and the dead, and what was the dereliction of duty as parents, it is not within their scope of consideration.

Thinking about it this way, it is normal for Mrs. Shi to be thinking about the girl of the Chi family instead of the daughter of the Pu family. Pu Yu is a Hanlin editor who was born in the second list, how could he marry his concubine to a notorious son like Shi Zhonglang. Not to mention that parents are definitely unwilling, even if they marry their daughters for the sake of relatives or wealth, there is no need for that reputation.

But the Chi family is different, Chi Song is a two-rank jinshi, but in fact, he is a third-class jinshi. All his life, he has been going back and forth between seven or eight grades. If he can marry his daughter to General Yipin's nephew, then the Chi family will be very glorious. As for the Shi family, it can be regarded as a serious official girl.

In this way, when both sides consider it, it can also be regarded as a win-win situation for each side.

It's just that between the three lives and the third life, the in-laws of the Shi family and the Pu family have been entangled to this point, is it fate or sin?
