Ru Ji waved her hand to tell Xia Yin to retreat, and looked at Danque slowly: "Wen Danque, you are the maid next to Mrs. Shizi, then my cousin and grandmother will give you a special face today, just to reason with you." Your surname is Wen or your surname is Yan, they are all slaves in this family. The phoenix-tailed iris calls you a Danque girl, and you treat yourself as a deputy miss? If you can do it, that's also your ability, but you think your ability is big enough to step on the head of your aunt and grandmother, do you want to hang yourself on the southeast branch?! ”

"The slave didn't-" Danque's face became more and more hot and painful at the moment, and if she didn't touch it, she knew that it should be starting to swell, she hadn't been beaten since she was a child, and she was ashamed and angry at the moment, and her voice was still loud, and gradually there were already little girls coming over to see the excitement.

"You don't?" Ru Xi smiled again, "Auntie and grandmother are too lazy to pay attention to you, so you think you are here to announce the edict?" A reasonable and polite person like Mrs. Shizi would reprimand your aunt and grandmother through the mouth of a slave born in your family? Wen Danque, did Madame tell you to say that?! ”

"This-this ......" Danque only thought about dealing with the past quickly and ran away, whether it was to cry or quickly complain, or to clean up the second and third class maids who were watching from afar at the moment, the most important thing was to run quickly, so what Ruxi said, in fact, she didn't listen carefully. At this moment, such a long logical and complicated question is thrown out, and Danque is a little blindsided.

"Let me ask you, did the words just now, word by word, be told by Madame to say to you?!" Ru Xi asked sharply again, and at the same time, Xia Yin tacitly cooperated with Ru Xi's tone and took half a step forward, as if Danque would fight again if he shook his head.

Danque instinctively excited: "Yes, yes, I-no, the maid came to talk, naturally it was called by the lady, and the lady asked the aunt and grandmother to go back......"

"Then it's none of your business, since Madame asked you to pass on this, then you have to ask Madame." Ru Ji naturally saw that Danque just wanted to get out at the moment, but in fact, her mind was full of "confused .jpg", so she couldn't tell the difference between [what Mrs. told her to say] vs. [Mrs. asked her to speak].

"Big sister, let's go back." Ru Xi stretched out her hand to help Yan Yuan, "Let's go back to see Madame." ”

Yan Miao looked at Ru Ji, and was stunned for a moment, before finally nodding as if she had made up her mind: "Okay, let's go back." ”

Ru Xi pursed her lips and smiled, Yan Yuan should have understood.

In fact, as the eldest daughter of Huan Ningbo Mansion, Yan Miao may not have eloquence and momentum to suppress people and rebel against her stepmother, but everyone's personality is different. Some people are extroverted and active, while others are introverted by nature and don't like to debate or conflict with others. Yan Miao has been under the shadow of the old lady since she lost her mother, and there is no need to quarrel and conflict with others. And the values she has been instilled in the past years are probably that women should be chaste and peaceful, filial piety and tolerance.

At this moment, Ru Ji deliberately knocked the Danque hard, just to deliberately give Yan Jiao a demonstration. Yan Yuan's current situation can be regarded as being in a predicament, but compared with the resources in her hands, this predicament can only be regarded as a novice easy mode. Instead of helping her solve her difficulties, it is better to help her change her mentality, as long as Yan Miao can think clearly and have the courage to open up to the right people, the problem can still be solved.

All the way back to the flower hall where tea was eaten, although Yan Miao held Ruxi, she didn't say anything all the way.

Ru Ji doesn't say much, I believe that Yan Yuan, who has been out of the cabinet for more than two years, is enough to cope with the current situation in terms of experience and mentality, and the previous difficulties may be because of character, maybe because of mentality, maybe-

Ruji's heart suddenly moved, and she began to quietly calculate the date and time in her mind.

"Mother, third aunt." Yan Rong and Ru Xi entered the flower hall side by side, and the first thing to greet was naturally the princess's wife Wen and the third lady Lin Chengyue, who were sitting on the top seat. Mrs. Bo had been recuperating in her yard because she had been sick again during the change of seasons in summer and autumn, and in the morning she came to add a pot to the eldest brother with her own hands, and then went back to rest, and the relatives and friends who came and went to congratulate her were entertained by the two daughters-in-law.

"Auntie, Ruji, come and sit down." The third lady, Lin Chengyue, greeted with a smile and pointed to the seat beside her.

After entangling with Danque just now, Yan Yuan pressed the handkerchief again, and most of the redness and swelling of her eyelids disappeared. When the female dependents go out, there is incense powder in the purse on her body, although there is no mirror of a modern makeup box, but because the eye makeup of the ancients is very simple, it is very quick to simply add some powder. When He Ruxi entered the flower hall, if he didn't look carefully, the traces of Yan Yuan's crying would hardly be visible.

But this doesn't mean that I don't know, the place where Yan Miao met Ruxi before was at the door of this courtyard, and she burst into tears after only a few steps from the hall to the door, in fact, she had red eyes before she went out of the hall, and everyone present also saw it. It's just that the prince's wife Wen and the original children have been in a stalemate for many years, and it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs.

Yan Rong and Ru Xi went over to sit down, the princess's wife Wen looked at the past quietly, and Ru Xi looked back generously.

This was the first time she had met the prince and lady Wen head-on. In the memory of the original owner, I have naturally seen it, Mrs. Shizi is the daughter-in-law of the head of the family who presided over the Zhongfeng in Huan Ningbo Mansion, and the New Year's Day, the second elder's birthday and other banquets are all there. In the memory of the original owner, Wen was an extremely delicate and beautiful noblewoman.

In terms of facial features and appearance, as well as etiquette posture, Wen, as the daughter of the Marquis of Yiyang, is of course very outstanding, but what is more important is the jewelry decoration and clothing matching on the body. The head of the jewelry and the waist of the jade pendant purse forbidden step and other things are always the same pattern color style of custom-made jewelry, the clothes are luxurious and almost extravagant, because Wen's complexion is very fair, and the clothes love to use gold thread rice beads with a variety of bright colors, in general, in the impression of the original owner such as the princess, is always like an ancient department store jewelry counter standard display model.

At this moment, she finally saw the living person, and Ru Ji quickly understood why the original owner had such an impression of Mrs. Shizi. To put it simply, the dress is too rigorous, such as the bun and sideburns, even if the average person uses a wig to enrich the bun, or uses a hairnet, hair pin, hair comb, hair pressure and other things to arrange the hair, there will always be a little bit of broken hair a little flowing, and it looks more natural. However, this Mrs. Wen probably used a lot of osmanthus oil and other hair oils, including the sideburns and forehead hair, which were also neatly pasted in the designated position. As for the jewelry or something, it also feels like a complete set of non-landing wear. From hairpins to hairpins, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, bracelets, rings, etc., on the whole, there is a feeling of seeing someone wearing a tuxedo at a family gathering.

As for the reason behind it, is it to show that the girl of the century-old family Yiyang Hou Mansion is different from the grassroots upstart like Huan Ningbo Mansion?

"My cousin and grandmother rarely come, but now when I see them by chance, I realize that this time is really different from the past." Seeing Yan Rong and Ru Xi come in, in addition to the ceremony, they just talked to the third lady Lin Chengyue affectionately, and Mrs. Shizi didn't say anything at first, until about a cup of tea or so, a maid came in and whispered a few words, Mrs. Shizi's face changed slightly, and then looked at Yan Rong and Ru Xi's eyes were different.

Ru Ji and Yan Wei naturally knew that the maid came in to reply in place of the Danque whose face was already red, and they were naturally prepared in their hearts.

"That's what the second aunt said." Ru Ji looked at the past with a smile, "In the previous years, the family was a little unpeaceful. Now that the chaos has been set right, it can be seen that there is justice and retribution in this world, right? ”

Mrs. Shizi's smile became more and more cold when she heard this: "Retribution or not retribution is what should be said today, children don't know too much about taboos, how can they do it if they don't act lightly or seriously?" Being a man always has to look forward to the future, even if it is a dog, it depends on the owner. ”

"There is heaven above, and there is earth below. People must always have the right conscience when doing things. Ru Ji didn't back down at all, "If this dog barks without a discipline, it will already be up to the owner to save his life." However, a brother has just been added to the house, and children are most afraid of things like wind and catkins when they breathe, and cats and dogs are not raised. It's better to talk about people's things, just now you had a maid to pass the word, I think that the word was spread in your name, and the person was beaten, would you mind? ”

At this time, the eyes of everyone who were originally talking in the flower hall converged, and this granddaughter of the Yan family was as quiet as transparent before, almost making people forget her storage. Later, he married the stepson of General Shi Ben, which made people pay attention again. But Yan Che Yan Heng brothers and General Shi Ben are comrades, and such a twist and marriage is not unusual, as for those small things in the Pu family, it is far from enough to make the headlines of gossip discussion among the ladies in the capital.

However, the current scene is enough.
