Yue Bing returned to her courtyard and said angrily: "I didn't expect the third girl's temper to get bigger and bigger, and she didn't take people seriously anymore because of the power of the Hou Mansion. ”

Mother Wang actually wanted to say that the third girl hadn't taken Mrs. in her eyes for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have been working against Mrs.

Aunt Su was also inquiring about Xiang Wei, but the news she heard was that Xiang Wei was indeed an embroidery girl, who embroidered in the house on weekdays and didn't go out much.

Aunt Su didn't believe this and asked, "What does that girl look like?" Where are you from? Where did you live before? How did you get the eyes of the three girls? ”

The mother-in-law said: "It is said that her appearance is average, she looks very petite and cute, and she looks a bit like a Jiangnan woman." The people in Lanxi Courtyard said that this Xiang Wei girl was an orphan who grew up in the Charity Hall and used to live in the south. Later, I didn't know how to enter the Jingning Houfu and was put on the villa by Mrs. Shizi. As for how it was taken by the three girls, this one can't be explored. "The only thing I know about what happened in the villa is the drizzle, but the drizzle is a tight-mouthed person who can't ask for the slightest useful information.

Aunt Su rubbed her temples and said, "Let someone inquire again." "Aunt Su is very sure that Xiang Wei has a problem, and Yueyao is not a person who is particularly particular about dressing up, on the contrary, Aunt Su has never heard that Yueyao has ever paid attention to food and clothing. Now I went to the villa and found an embroidery girl back, this can't be said, and with the temperament of the third girl, I won't invite an idler to the yard for no reason, Aunt Su is sure that this Xiang Wei girl is not simple.

The mother-in-law thought for a while and then said, "Auntie, everyone in Lanxi Courtyard knows that this Xiang Wei girl is a free body. "The free body symbolizes that she can leave at any time, and the people in the mansion can't tell her or move her.

Aunt Su's brows became more and more frowned, putting such a not simple person by her side is like a tiger to the three girls, and it is not good for them.

The mother-in-law suggested: "Auntie, why don't you talk to your wife?" ”

Aunt Su had a headache, and Madame was anxious to redeem her dowry with money, so she didn't let go of the silver in Yuehuan's hand, and she could still let go of the money in the hands of the third girl? But the problem now is that Madame can't control the three girls anymore. The third girl was already very protective of her wife, but now she has the support of her mother, and to put it mildly, even if the third girl dies, the lady will not get this money.

Aunt Su thought of this and showed her exhaustion, if Mrs. was willing to listen to her words and get rid of the third girl when the old lady was seventy-seven, there would be nothing to do now, but at that time, Mrs. missed the best opportunity because of the rumors. Now the three girls have too many advantages, and it is difficult to get rid of her now.

Aunt Su suddenly had a spirit, she would understand who this Xiang Wei was, I was afraid that it was Yueyao who came to Jingning Houfu to protect her, Aunt Su said to herself: "No wonder the third girl is willing to be the companion of the third girl of the Luo family." "How could Yueyao's arrogant temperament be a companion to the powerful family, it turned out to be Jingning Houfu who had something to ask. The third girl begged Xiang Wei to come, the purpose was to prevent the lady from poisoning her.

Aunt Su felt that she should tell Mo Shi about it immediately, but she immediately retreated after she walked to the door.

Aunt Su came to her senses, where could she get in front of Mrs. and say with a grin that the third girl had found someone to prevent her, which was tantamount to directly pointing out that it was Mrs. who wanted to plot the third girl's money. Madame is a person who wants to save face, even if she is Madame's confidant, it will not be good to say such things directly.

Aunt Su shook her hand and warned herself that she couldn't be in a hurry now, this matter had to be planned carefully, and the best way was to let Mrs. dispel the idea of calculating the three girls, if Mrs. really thought unfavorable to the three girls and put it into action, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The fourth day of Yueyao's return is the Chung Yeung Festival.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Lianfu made Chongyang cakes. It is very particular to make Chongyang cake: the rough flower cake is to stick some coriander leaves as a symbol, and sandwich the middle with green fruits, jujubes, walnuts and other rough dried fruits; The fine flower cake has three layers, and in the middle of each layer there are finer candied dried fruits, preserved apples, preserved peaches, preserved apricots, black dates and the like; In addition, there is the money cake, which is smaller and like "money". Last year, I made some of the cakes in the mansion, but today I made all the cakes in the mansion.

Yue Yao lost her appetite when she saw it, and she didn't have to think about it to know that this must be Mo's order, and money was not Mo's favorite.

After the Double Ninth Festival, Yueyao led Hao's mother to follow Xiang Wei to Mafu. The flower bud watched Yue Yao leave, and her eyes flashed gloomily.

Hao's mother hadn't seen her granddaughter for two months, and now she was very happy to follow Yueyao to Mafu. This time, I prepared a lot of things for my granddaughter and brought them with me.

Yueyao went to Mafu, Zhuang Ruolan went out of the courtyard to the door and picked up Yueyao in.

Zhuang Ruolan has been doing well recently, and since she released the rumor that her daughter is a little lucky star, no one has said that her daughter's eight characters are not good. She also found the secret recipe of beauty from Ping's family, and now Zhuang Ruolan is radiant and radiant.

As soon as Yue Yao sat down, Zhuang Ruolan smiled and handed Yue Yao a small wooden box. Yue Yao opened it and saw that all the boxes were filled with silver tickets.

Ruolan said with a smile: "In addition to the dividends of 6,300 taels of silver for two months, the other is the rent of your two shops for one year." ”

Yueyao didn't know how to order the silver ticket, and after closing it, she put the box on the table and said, "Cousin-in-law, the business of the cloth shop is so good, will anyone make up their minds?" "Although the exclusive business is good, there are many people who make up their minds, and it depends on whether Zhuang Ruolan can hold it down.

Ruolan shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay, the money I make every month is a lot compared to ordinary people, but it's not so much that the princes and nobles are eye-catching." Zhuang Ruolan said this a little modestly, a shop that can reach tens of thousands of taels of profits is even the princes and nobles. It's just that Zhuang Ruolan is hard-backed, and those people don't dare to move. If you don't dare to move on your face, it doesn't mean that there won't be movement behind your back. Fortunately, Zhuang Ruolan was prepared, and it was her henchman who had the secret recipe, and the life of this confidant's family was in her hands, so she was not afraid of betraying her.

Yue Yao nodded and said, "That's good." ”

After Yue Yao finished speaking, she handed the recipe she brought to Zhuang Ruolan.

Ruolan took it with a smile: "What, what other good things are there for my cousin?" The secret recipe given by Yue Yao made her make a lot of money. And what satisfied Zhuang Ruolan the most was that Yueyao agreed not to enter the Ma family's public account. Now all these incomes are counted as her private house, and the money is naturally hard.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "This is a recipe, I got it unintentionally, and it is also the only one, cousin, can you see if you can open a restaurant with this?" ”

With the formula of the dye, Zhuang Ruolan still believed in what Yueyao took out. Zhuang Ruolan took it and looked at it carefully, not to mention that she hadn't eaten the dishes in this recipe, she had never heard of it.

Zhuang Ruolan wanted to ask Yueyao where this came from, but she swallowed the words back to her mouth, anyway, as long as she didn't steal and rob others, it was fine. Yueyao's temperament is not someone who can steal or rob, so this is completely reassuring.

Ruolan was a little embarrassed after reading it, and said, "Yueyao, this restaurant is different from the cloth shop." I've always had a cloth shop and a cloth shop, and even if the business is booming now, I can withstand those troubles. But the restaurant is different, Yueyao, a restaurant involves all aspects, and a bad one will cause a big event. ”

Zhuang Ruolan did not agree to open a restaurant because the restaurant involved all aspects, and several famous restaurants in the capital had very hard backers behind them. When the time comes, finding something to do will make her anxious. Her fabric workshop is already very eye-catching, but if she can't open a restaurant anymore, it will be tantamount to trouble.

Yueyao was a little disappointed, but she just had this idea and didn't have to open a restaurant. Yueyao said: "Cousin-in-law, it's useless to keep this recipe if you don't open the restaurant, it's a waste." ”

Ruolan heard Yueyao's words and said with a smile: "You girl, how can you be useless? When I have people try it and make sure that the food made according to this recipe is delicious, I will find someone to sell the recipe, and I will definitely sell it for a fortune. "With so many fresh dishes, you're sure to get a good price.

Yueyao was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm going to trouble my cousin-in-law again." ”

Ruolan didn't feel troubled, Yueyao didn't find her father-in-law and husband and took the initiative to find her, and she also trusted her. Ruolan smiled and pulled Yueyao to sit beside her, and said, "What are you doing with me like this, tell my sister-in-law, it's okay to be on the mountain for the past few months, does Mingzhu often bully you?" ”

Yue Yao smiled and also told Ruolan about the incident on the mountain, and also told her about her fighting with Mingzhu, and said with a smile: "Mingzhu is often so angry with me that she jumps to her feet, but she is afraid that I will go down the mountain and dare not lose my temper with me, and she vomits a lot." "What Yue Yao said was all about the beginning.

Ruolan was so happy at first, she was very surprised when she heard it, and asked, "Do you mean that the third girl of the Luo family accompanied you to practice calligraphy every day, and honestly learned music from the musician?" "Luo Mingzhu's bad temper is known to everyone who goes out to socialize, but he didn't expect to be subdued by Yueyao.

Yue Yao shook her head: "Well, in fact, Mingzhu is not as bad as it is rumored outside. She's just a little bad-tempered, but her nature is pretty good. "Yue Yao is telling the truth, if Luo Mingzhu is a bad-hearted person, Yue Yao will not spend so much thought on a task at most.

Ruolan smiled: "You girl, your heart is real." But that's fine, you'll have one more friend in the future. "Although Luo Mingzhu has a bad temper, this family is really hard, and it is a good thing for Yueyao to have Mingzhu's eyes.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Is the second cousin's marriage scheduled for the end of the year or the beginning of next year?" "It's better to marry a daughter-in-law, and it's estimated that it's the end of the month.

Ruolan said: "It's set for the end of the month." ”

Yue Yao's face was a little complicated, if Ma Yue's marriage was scheduled for the end of the month, then the Cheng family would be back soon. Yueyao was very tired of the Cheng family, without the Cheng family and Ma Linlin's Ma Mansion was quiet and comfortable, and when they came back, the Ma Mansion would be a troublesome place again.

Yue Yao was thinking about this trouble when she heard Lu Ying coming.

Yue Yao couldn't help frowning when she heard the maid's report, why did she come over every time she went to Mafu Lu Ying? Where are there so many coincidences? I'm afraid it was Lu Ying's deliberate.

Yue Yao greeted Lu Ying and stood up and said, "Cousin-in-law, I still have to go to Li's house." I still have something to find Aunt Li. ”

Lu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard Yue Yao's words, and she immediately said, "Cousin, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, and I miss him a lot." ”

Yue Yao was a little surprised, what was Lu Ying Titing doing. Yueyao would not be naïve to think that Lu Ying would really miss Tingzheng: "Cousin Lao is worried, everything is fine with Tingzheng." ”

Seeing that Yueyao didn't answer her words with a smile, Lu Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, I want to go with you to visit my cousin, what do you think?" ”

Although Yue Yao didn't know why Lu Ying was so enthusiastic, there was a good saying, nothing to be courteous or a thief, and it was definitely not a good thing for Lu Ying to go with her to visit Tingzheng.

Yue Yao refused: "If my cousin misses Tingzheng, next time I come to Mafu, I will bring Tingzheng with me." ”

Zhuang Ruolan also felt that Lu Ying's request was a little inexplicable, even if Yue Yao didn't refuse, she wouldn't let Lu Ying follow Yue Yao to the Li Mansion. Yueyao was able to go to the Li family because her father was friendly, and Yueyao had always maintained this relationship, but Lu Ying was only embarrassed to get together because she was not a relative.

Ruolan sent Yueyao out of the courtyard, and after saying a few words to Lu Ying, she asked Lu Ying to go back to her yard. Ruolan instructed Caiyun to say, "Go and ask the maid beside her, has Miss Ying encountered anything recently?" "It shouldn't be Lu Ying's whim today, I'm afraid there is something.

Ruolan took the recipe that Yueyao gave her, selected two of them and copied them, and called the cook in the small kitchen, who was a trustworthy person.

Zhuang Ruolan asked the cook to cook two dishes according to the method she gave. Zhuang Ruolan didn't distrust the things given by Yueyao, but tried these dishes, knowing that she would have the confidence to negotiate the price when the time came.

When Yueyao arrived at Li's mansion, she was also warmly received by Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was very relieved to look at Yue Yao, who was becoming more and more provocative, and asked about Yue Yao in Lianfu, and then asked about Luo Mingzhu.

Yueyao has always reported good news and not bad news, and she won't say much about the bad things in the house. I just picked up a lot of interesting things on the villa, and also told some things about her and Luo Mingzhu. Of course, what he said was Luo Mingzhu's good words.

Mrs. Li was skeptical.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Auntie, what I said is true, Sister Luo is actually a very good person, and we get along very happily." "Ahem, Yue Yao didn't know that Luo Mingzhu's reputation had already been rumored to be unseemly at this time. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to change everyone's impression of Mingzhu. But with a good start, things will definitely be different in the future.

Mrs. Li said with pity: "You kid knows that you can tell your aunt something good, and you will swallow your own bitterness." "It's really distressing to have such a sensible child.

After talking to Mrs. Li, Yue Yao talked about what she wanted Ting Zheng to learn martial arts, and Yue Yao said: "Aunt, Ting Zheng can learn some martial arts to defend himself and strengthen his body. ”

Mrs. Li was a little hesitant, according to Mrs. Li's meaning, she naturally didn't want to learn martial arts, but Yueyao was Tingzheng's sister, and she was really Tingzheng, so she couldn't refuse directly. Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "When your Uncle Li comes back, I'll tell him." What do you think? ”

Yue Yao explained with a smile: "Auntie, I worry every time I see Tingzheng. I'd rather he look ugly. Yue Yao paused and said: "I want him to learn martial arts in the hope that he will have the ability to protect himself in the future, and everything will depend on us when my father and mother are gone." ”

After Yueyao said this, her eyes were red, and when she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that what she had just said was inappropriate, so she immediately lowered her head, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and wiped out her tears without tears.

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, but then understood the meaning of Yue Yao's words. At the moment, he took a handkerchief and wiped Yueyao's tears, and scolded while wiping his tears: "You kid, you don't tell us these things in your heart, you are worried about yourself." If you tell your aunt early, you don't have to worry about being scared every day. Don't worry, Tingzheng will grow well if he looks good, what are people like us afraid of? If anyone has those dirty thoughts, you Uncle Li can't get around them. "This is not a child without roots, who can be slaughtered by others, and I don't know how this child would think of this.

Yue Yao's tears fell when she heard this, and she said while crying: "Auntie, I didn't mean not to say it, I just ......" Xiang Wei made up a reason for Yue Yao to be moved when she heard it, but Yue Yao looked at Mrs. Li with a distressed face but couldn't say anything.

Mrs. Li looked at Yueyao's appearance and took it for granted that someone said something messy in Yueyao's ear that scared Yueyao. Mrs. Li lovingly hugged Yueyao and comforted, "Don't worry, there won't be anything like that." Tingzheng will let people follow when he goes out, and he won't be abducted by a kidnapper, don't worry. Mrs. Li can also understand Yueyao's fear, if such a brother is really something, it will mean that the sky will fall.

Although Yueyao was stimulated to shed tears, she was really crying later. She has been living a life of fear, living a very depressed life, and today she can be regarded as finding an outlet.

Mrs. Li coaxed Yueyao for a long time before she stopped crying. Yue Yao took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said with a flushed face: "Let my aunt laugh, Yue Yao is rude." ”

Yueyao's crying made Mrs. Li cherish her more and more. This incident made her see the fragility underneath Yueyao's strength.

Yueyao was originally going to wait for Li Guoxun, but when it was almost dark, Li Guoxun hadn't come back, and Yueyao had no choice but to go back to Lianfu.

Li Guoxun was very busy with business that day, and he was busy until late before going home.

After Li Guoxun came back, Mrs. Li told him about Yueyao's mention, and after finishing speaking, she sighed heavily and said: "I didn't expect this child to be so thoughtful, such a young person has so many things to worry about, and those who are unpredictable say those unashamed and impatient words in front of her." It's not easy for this kid. Mrs. Li decided that someone had bad intentions and said those bastard things in front of Yueyao.

Li Guoxun thought about Tingzheng's demonic face, and his brows were also tightly locked. If Tingzheng is by his side, he can naturally protect Tingzheng, but what if Tingzheng is not by his side? There are many good men in the capital, especially those who are powerful and powerful, in case these people have Tingzheng's idea and he happens to be not by Tingzheng's side, it will be really difficult to do it at that time.

Li Guoxun finally made a decision: "Since Yueyao wants Tingzheng to learn martial arts, let him learn it." After learning martial arts, he also has more self-defense skills, which is a good thing for Ting Zheng. ”

Seeing her husband's solemn expression, Mrs. Li smiled and talked about the interesting story of Yueyao and Mingzhu: "I have heard of the bad temper of the three girls of the Luo family for a long time, but I didn't expect that Yueyao, a child, could make friends with the three girls of the Luo family, and it was not easy for the third girl of the Luo family to restrain her temper." ”

Li Guoxun really felt a little regretful in his heart, this child is smart and clever, broad-minded, and thinks about everything, but unfortunately it is his daughter. It would be nice if Yue Yao and Ting Zheng's genders were reversed, then he could worry a little less.

Yue Yao heard that Li Guoxun asked Ting Zheng to learn martial arts, and finally laughed at the moment. In Yueyao's eyes, it is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, and it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Others can help for a while but can't help for a lifetime, and it is the strongest if you have the ability.
