After this incident, Ruolan's attitude towards Yueyao became better and better. I don't care if this recipe can make money, but Yueyao's attitude towards the Ma family. Yueyao can see that she really wants the Ma family to be good.

Yueyao also felt the change in Ruolan's attitude towards her, and she was also full of joy for this change. This is the way people interact with each other, interests can be tied for a while, but if you want to last a long time, you still need to be sincere.

Zhuang Ruolan asked Yueyao with a smile: "Nothing has happened to take care of your mother's dowry, right?" "I think she suffered a lot when she took care of these dowries. Yueyao will definitely not be very happy with taking care of these dowries.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I'm not in good health, and I haven't seen the shopkeeper and the head of the village since the end of the year." Cousin-in-law, I want to find a suitable opportunity to sell a few shops and only eat rent in the future. The rent of the shop and the income from the land are enough for Tingzheng and me to have food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and we don't need to do what we don't like to do anymore. ”

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "Isn't the business of a few shops bad? ”

Yueyao shook her head, "It's not that business is bad, I heard Mother Deng say that the business of several shops is good, but I am not interested in doing business, and it is troublesome to do business." If one is not good, you have to lose money. I think it's better to eat the insurance of the rent. "It's very troublesome to do business, buy and sell goods or something, and you have to guard against the shopkeeper's slippery head, there are too many messy things, Yue Yao has a big head just thinking about it, let alone deal with it." For Yueyao, it is better to read more books with this effort.

Ruolan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's not bad for you to think so, but the matter of the shop is not in a hurry, you tell me, where are your shops, when I am in good health, I will pay attention to you, and if there is a good one, I will introduce it to you." ”

Yueyao told Ruolan the location of several shops, "The other shops are rented out for rent, only these two shops are doing business, I don't know much about business, and I don't have the spirit to take care of it, so renting it out is the easiest thing to do." ”

It was also at this time that Ruolan understood why Yueyao didn't want to do business, and the rent of the shop alone was seven or eight thousand taels every year, not including the land. Even if you grow up and split up in the future, you will be able to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Ruolan was a little surprised that her aunt's dowry was so rich, although she didn't know the specifics, but it could be seen from the shop alone that this aunt's dowry was even richer than her mother's. That's a lot of money.

Zhuang Ruolan finally knew why Yueyao didn't care so much about money, people didn't have money at all, "Don't worry, if you want to buy a shop, you must at least know that the shop is now losing and winning, and you will suffer a loss if you rush out." Those shopkeepers are bold and reckless when no one restrains them. Although Yueyao is rich, Zhuang Ruolan feels that she can't let Yueyao be the wronged leader. If you have this money, you can give alms to the temple, and you can also accumulate blessings for yourself.

Yueyao didn't worry about it, but she was still grateful for Zhuang Ruolan's reminder, "I listen to my cousin-in-law." ”

Caiyi came in with hot tea.

Yueyao stood up and said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, where is my cousin?" "She'll have to hand over the letter to her cousin. It's not that she can't give it to her uncle, it's just that Yueyao is afraid that her uncle will ask too much and she won't be able to resist.

Ruolan said with a smile: "Your cousin went to the classmate's house and didn't come back so soon." ”

Yue Yao didn't say anything more. The two were talking when they heard Lu Ying coming. Yue Yao stood up and looked at Lu Ying who entered the door and said with a smile: "Cousin is so beautiful today." ”

Lu Ying combed her horse bun, inserted a gold step, wore a beeswax stone bead flower, and put a pair of red gold and purple Ying on her ears. It was wearing a golden white butterfly water red jacket, covered with colorful hangers, and a long jade flower dress.

In the past, Lu Ying was not good at dressing up, and she always wore gold and silver, which made people always feel like an outburst. This time she was dressed up brilliantly, and it was said that she looked three points and dressed up seven, and now Lu Ying is also a little beauty.

Lu Ying was overjoyed when she got Yueyao's words, "My cousin has won the award, but in fact, my cousin is much more beautiful than me." This is true. Lu Ying's appearance is medium at best, but Yue Yao is a beauty embryo, although she is still young and has not grown up, she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

Caiyi only sighed in her heart when she heard Lu Ying's reply, the young lady invited someone to teach Lu Ying during this time, and wanted to correct it, but unfortunately the effect was not great! Even if you want to praise people, you shouldn't praise people like this, and you can't even speak.

Lu Ying didn't realize that she was inappropriate, but just took Yueyao's hand and asked a lot of questions. Yue Yao withdrew her hand without a trace, and answered some of Lu Ying's questions with a smile.

Lu Ying also wanted to invite Yue Yao to her courtyard as a guest, but Yue Yao refused. Zhuang Ruolan looked at it coldly from the side, and found that Yueyao didn't like Lu Ying, and Zhuang Ruolan was not surprised by this. Although Lu Ying's nature is not bad, he is not a likable person.

The maid outside came in and said, "Young lady, the eldest young master is back." ”

Yue Yao had a smile on her face, but Lu Ying said happily: "Big cousin is back!" So saying, he stood up and went to the door to greet him.

Yueyao just stood up and didn't walk over. Yue Yao inadvertently saw Caiyun's frowning brows, and was a little surprised, what did Caiyun's expression mean. But waiting to see Ma Peng come in, Yueyao seemed to understand a little in her heart.

Ma Peng was wearing a royal blue robe, and his chest could be faintly seen under the shirt that was slightly heaving because of that smile. Ma Peng had no feeling for Lu Ying, only maintained the affection on his face, but when he saw Yueyao, he showed a happy smile on his face, and asked, "When did my cousin arrive?" ”

Yue Yao found that Ma Peng seemed to have changed as a person, not only did he lose his previous Mu Ne, but he also looked a lot better. Ma Peng's big change is actually due to two words, self-confidence.

In the past, Ma Peng lived under the high pressure of his father, and because Ma Yue's intelligence made him stupid, he lacked self-confidence. Because he is not confident, he has very few words, a vicious circle, so it gives people the impression that he is a very wooden person. But now it is different, he has a bright future, he is handy in the Hanlin Academy, he is loved by his boss and colleagues, he has a talented and capable wife, and he is about to be a father again, so it can be said that he has everything he wants. In this way, the whole person will naturally let go, and people will feel that they have changed a lot and become more confident.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "I just arrived. Cousin, red envelope! With that, he stretched out his hand.

Ma Peng smiled and said: "How can I miss your red envelope and prepare it for you early!" Ma Peng took out a red envelope from his sleeve and gave it to Yueyao.

Yue Yao was surprised, she was just joking, she didn't expect her cousin to really prepare her red envelope, and this red envelope is bulging when she looks at it, this red envelope is not small.

Lu Ying didn't expect Yueyao to ask for a red envelope directly, and asked in front of everyone in the room, "Cousin, are you very short of money?" ”

Lu Ying's words plunged the scene into an eerie silence. Zhuang Ruolan only shook her head in her heart, Yueyao asked her husband for a red envelope obviously for fun, where is the real lack of money, but Lu Ying couldn't see it, and asked such a question in front of everyone, isn't it stupid.

Yue Yao didn't seem to understand Lu Ying's words, and said happily: "Cousin, my cousin is an adult, so he should prepare a red envelope for us." "This red envelope has nothing to do with lack of money!

Lu Ying opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she was pulled by the girl ring beside her. Lu Ying looked at the people in the room who were all right, even her cousin and sister-in-law. Although Lu Ying didn't know what she said wrong, she was not stupid, and said with a strong smile: "My cousin is right." In fact, Lu Ying felt that Yueyao directly asked Ma Peng for a red envelope very tasteless, and her cousin Ma Peng would take it if she was willing to give it, and if she didn't give it, she couldn't ask for it directly, as if she was begging for money and called Huazi.

Yueyao didn't entangle with Lu Ying, but said to Zhuang Ruolan: "Cousin-in-law, I have something I want to tell my cousin." ”

Zhuang Ruolan didn't think much about it, and nodded with a smile. Zhuang Ruolan didn't think much about it, because there was nothing to think about.

Ma Peng led Yueyao to the study.

Lu Ying watched Ma Peng and Yueyao go out one after the other, and she stood next to her as if she was a stranger. Lu Ying felt very sad in her heart, why was her cousin's attitude towards them very different, even though they were all cousins. Lu Ying was really aggrieved, and her uncle didn't care about it, but she didn't expect her cousin to be like this. In the past, when Ma Linlin was there, she had a bad time, and after Ma Linlin left, her life was nourished, but as soon as Yueyao came, she saw the gap.

Zhuang Ruolan frowned when she saw the jealousy and unwillingness in Lu Ying's eyes, in fact, Zhuang Ruolan also felt that Ma Peng was a little favoritism, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was normal. Lu Ying and Yue Yao can't be compared at all, Lu Ying's food and clothing are all from the Ma family, and she doesn't have a grateful heart, and Yue Yao has done so many things to the Ma family, it is normal for her father-in-law and her husband to favor her.

Zhuang Ruolan stood up and said, "My waist is a little sore, help me back to the room." Zhuang Ruolan, this is actually the meaning of tactfully letting Lu Ying leave.

Lu Ying was pulled away by the maid ring beside her.

Yueyao followed Ma Peng to the study and gave Ma Peng the letter and the painting.

Ma Peng heard that Yue Yao asked him to hand over the letter to Guan Jingxuan, and before Yue Yao could explain the origin of these things, Ma Peng refused, "Cousin, if people know that you wrote a letter to the Hou Shizi of Yongding in private, no matter what you wrote, your reputation will be damaged." This is still Ma Peng's belief in Yueyao's character, and others will definitely say that Yueyao has been taught privately.

It's no wonder that Ma Peng thinks so, and sends the young man's letter well, and this young man is still a famous talent in the whole capital, he can't think about it too much.

Yue Yao hurriedly explained: "Cousin, I didn't write these letters. It was written by Aunt Yun to my mother, and Hou Shizi of Yongding said that he did not have Aunt Yun's ink treasure in his hand, and begged me to let me give him these letters. ”

Ma Peng looked at the name of his aunt who was the recipient on the cover, and believed Yueyao's words at the moment, but Ma Peng was very strange, "When did my cousin meet the Hou Shizi of Yongding?" "Yongding Hou Shizi is known to everyone in the capital, but Yongding Hou Shizi lives in a simple house because of physical reasons, and he doesn't go out much on weekdays, he doesn't understand how Yueyao met Yongding Hou Shizi.

Yue Yao talked about her encounter with Guan Jingxuan in Zhaohua Temple, "The Hou Shizi of Yongding knew that my mother and Aunt Yun were Jinlan sisters, so she specially said a few words to me. I also miss Aunt Yun a lot when I look at him, so I want to give him these letters and paintings. But if I let someone hand it over to him, it will definitely cause trouble, so I want my cousin to hand it over on my behalf. ”

Ma Peng felt that Yueyao was too soft-hearted. However, it is a good thing that Yue Yao can think that he will hand it over, it is better than personally asking people to give these things to the Hou Shizi of Yongding, and responded: "Yue Yao, I will help you this time, but there must be no next time." "If it is known, it must not be said that they have given it privately. Once this girl's reputation is damaged, it is a lifelong thing.

Yue Yao nodded, there could be no next time.

Yueyao was in the carriage, thinking of Lu Ying's behavior, she felt very strange and asked, "Mother Deng, is my cousin-in-law too kind to Lu Ying?" "Look at Lu Ying's dress, it costs a lot of silver. Of course, Yueyao knew that Ruolan was not a stingy person, but this was a bit out of the ordinary. If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong.

Mother Deng shook her head and said, "The girl probably doesn't know that the second aunt and grandmother went to her wedding Zhuangzi and left her cousin in the mansion. "I don't know why, Xiao Ma went to his own wedding Zhuangzi. However, after Xiao Ma left, Lu Ying's treatment skyrocketed.

Yue Yao smiled, it seems that her cousin and aunt should have reached some kind of agreement. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, my aunt is willing to make compromises for Lu Ying as a daughter. It's a pity that Yue Yao shook her head, even if her cousin-in-law bothered, it would be difficult to correct Lu Ying. The temperament has been cultivated, and it can be seen from today's behavior that it is not ordinary difficult to break the right.

Zhuang Ruolan took the booklet left by Yueyao, the ink on this booklet was still new, and it was obvious that it had just been written. Zhuang Ruolan thought for a moment and asked Caiyun to put the booklet away. This thing can't be moved for the time being, and it's not too late to wait until she's done giving birth.

Ma Peng also played a trick, these things must not be sent directly to Guan Jingxuan, but let people send these things to Heping's home. In any case, although Peace will be noticed as Guan Jingxuan's little servant, the attention will definitely not be as high as Guan Jingxuan.

The letter was sent to Heping's house, and before Heping saw it, the thing was opened for Heping's mother. The peaceful mother couldn't read, but she recognized that one of the two girls in the painting was the former lady, and quickly asked her husband to send the things to Guan Jingxuan.

Guan Jingxuan was a little trembling when he got the painting and his hand, he waited patiently for so long, and now he finally waited, but when he really had to face it, he didn't have the courage to open it.

Heping didn't get his mother's reminder that he didn't know that these things had nothing to do with Yueyao. He thought it was a letter written by Yue Yao to Guan Jingshuo, and the painting was also painted by Yue Yao to Guan Jingshuo. Heping was very anxious and reminded: "Lord Shizi, the three girls of this family have already decided on a family. How could he communicate with the prince. Lord Shizi, you must hold on! "Heping used to think that Lian San was a good girl, but now I am afraid that he is out of sight. This has a husband's family, and he also asks people to send things to his own son, what kind of heart!

Guan Jingxuan's face turned pale, and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is my mother's letter and my mother's portrait." If you don't know the truth and talk nonsense in the future, don't serve by my side. "Although he is peaceful and loyal, his mouth stinks.

When Heping heard the letter and painting from Mrs. Xian, he immediately shrank his head. Heping really felt that he was wronged, how did he know that this was the letter and painting of the first lady. Well, it's his fault, even if he doesn't believe the three girls of the Lian family, he should also believe in his son-in-law.

Guan Jingxuan was angry, and his nervousness was removed a lot. I opened the letters and looked at them one by one according to the date they were written, and when I saw the end, my face was like the bottom of a pot. His mother did say in the letter that she wanted to change people, but unfortunately in the end, the Guogong Mansion did not agree. The letter also said that it was because Xiao Ning's family was reluctant to accept the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, so he must marry into the Hou Mansion. In this letter, Ning Yun revealed a deep sense of helplessness and sadness.

Guan Jingxuan saw his mother on the last letter and said that everything was arranged and asked Ma not to worry. In addition, he also said that if she really had it, she hoped that Ma would take the opportunity to take care of her son in the future.

Guan Jingxuan didn't know what his mother did in the end, and he didn't want to know, but it could be seen from these letters that his aunt didn't really like and love him, it should be that his aunt didn't have a child of her own, so she would be good to him.

Guan Jingxuan is now glad that he has been by his father's side since he was a child, so he can grow up safely. If he had been raised by his aunt, he would have died a long time ago. But Rao was like this, and he almost died.

Guan Jingshuo calmed down and immediately went to find Yongdinghou and said, "Dad, I want to go to Taohuazhuang tomorrow and come back when the weather is warm." After two months of recuperation, Guan Jingxuan's health has improved a lot. Doctor Li said in the scriptures that as long as he follows his method, he can make Guan Jingshuo like a normal person in half a year at most.

Guan Jingxuan originally wanted to wait for the first month to go to Taohuazhuang, but after reading these letters, he instinctively wanted to go to Taohuazhuang and didn't want to face Xiao Ning's family. Moreover, in Zhuangzi, everything is up to him, what is the situation in the Hou Mansion, Guan Jingshuo is very clear in his heart, and the mansion is in chaos. There are more than these brothers and sisters in his concubine, every year the mansion has to lose several children and die a few concubines, but his father ignores them. Guan Jingshuo can only be glad that he is his father's only son-in-law. Otherwise, it's really a question of whether you'll be able to survive until now.

Guan Jingxuan's calculations are also good, and when he comes back in the summer, his body should have been raised. As long as his health is better, he is not afraid of those dark arrows in the mansion.

After Yueyao went to Ma Mansion, she went to Li Mansion. Yue Yao is very close to Mrs. Li, and thanks to Uncle Li and Mrs. Li, she can make Tingzheng so good, and she has always kept this gratitude in her heart.

Mrs. Li was also very satisfied with Yueyao's performance, but at the same time, she was also sad. Mrs. Li was sad, Yueyao was too sensible.

Yueyao didn't have dinner at Li's Mansion, and went back to Lian's Mansion when the ceremony arrived.

As soon as she returned to Lanxi Courtyard, Yueyao went to see Hua Bud and Qiaolan. After more than half a month of recuperation, the buds have regained their former vitality and can take care of themselves, but they still can't get out of bed, and Qiaolan has to be served by someone when she lies in bed, and she can't take care of herself.

Mo Shi saw Yueyao go over to greet her, and took the opportunity to say to Yueyao: "The two big girls around you can't use it now, and the red orchid next to me is stable ......"

Yue Yao interrupted before Mo could finish speaking, "Auntie, it's good for Hua Bud and Qiao Lan to recuperate for a while." If I let them out now, I can't bear it. There is no shortage of people around me to wait, and now let the fine silk and drizzle come up. I'm going to let the fine silk and drizzle do the personal ring for the time being, but it doesn't take up the quota of flower bud and Qiaolan. I don't want to let them go because they're hurt, it's chilling. The doctor also said that as long as the body is raised for half a year, it will be fine, and it is not bad for this money, so let them be raised in Lanxi Hospital! "Letting Mo's people by her side doesn't mean letting the wolf in, she's not so stupid.

Mo Shi frowned and asked, "But there are too few maids around you now, how can there be enough drizzle and fine silk around you?" ”

Yue Yao thought for a while and said, "Auntie, the Peng Chun family wanted to send their daughter to my yard before. At that time, there were many people in my courtyard, but now there is a shortage of people, so I just choose two from among them. ”

A cold light flashed in Mo's eyes, but the words he said were quite acceptable, "There are two less, and your third-class Yahuan is already missing three places, so you have to choose five people to make up for it." If you don't want the maids in the mansion, choose from the human tooth. ”

Yue Yao shook her head, "No, aunt, I already have a candidate." "Ever since Hua Bud and Qiao Lan were injured, Yue Yao has been thinking about adding people. Yueyao's precautions are for the Mo's Sai people to go to Lanxi Courtyard. The candidate has been chosen. One is Peng Chun's youngest daughter Cui'er, the other is Ma's youngest daughter Mao Xiaomei, and the other is Mimi's sister-in-law's daughter who used to assist Deng's mother in managing the backyard. Mao Xiaomei and Mimi's mothers are both Ma's dowry maids, and both families are in the Ma family's dowry Zhuangzi at this time. This is also after a long period of observation, both families are more loyal to her mother, otherwise Yueyao would not use them.

Mo Shi couldn't oppose it if she wanted to, and last time her husband had sternly warned her to treat Yueyao well and save her unnecessary trouble.

Yue Yao received the letter from Ma Fu, and after reading the letter, she summoned Hao's mother to the study, and asked, "Does mother want to know the current situation of your children?" "If Hao's mother wants to know if Yueyao doesn't mind telling him, but if Hao's mother doesn't want to know, then he won't say it.

Hao's mother shook her head and said, "Back then, they said they didn't recognize me as a mother, so I didn't give birth to the two of them." Hao's mother was also deeply hurt, but only she knew whether she really let go of her heart.

Yueyao didn't let it go, otherwise she wouldn't have heard her say that she was looking for a grandson to come over Hao's mother was so excited that she was incoherent, but she made her children sad too much, and let him down, and found her grandchildren to her side, relieving the emptiness and loneliness under her knees, and also giving her a guarantee for the future.

Yue Yao naturally didn't say much about the recent situation of Hao's mother and her children, but just told Hao's mother one thing, "The child has been let everyone come out, and now it is placed on the Zhuangzi of Mafu, and the next time I go to live in Mafu, I will ask them to take people to Mafu, and then your grandchildren can be reunited." "Yueyao will not let this child go in Lianfu, in case the Mo family knows about this child, maybe the Mo family will use this child to clamp Hao's mother.

Yueyao is planning to put this child in Mafu, she will go to Mafu every year in the future, when Hao's mother gets along with this child more and cultivates a relationship, Yueyao believes that Hao's mother will not dare to betray her easily.

Hao's mother was a little excited, "Okay." "This will make Hao's mother a little desperate for Yueyao to go to Mafu to live, so that she can see the child.

Yue Yao smiled after speaking, "I forgot to tell you, your granddaughter's name is Xiao Tao, well, that kid ...... You'll know when you see it. Yueyao didn't see anyone, but the person who bought her said that this child was very pitiful, and he couldn't eat enough at home every day, and when he bought it, he was like skin.

Hao's mother trembled and hurriedly said, "Girl, how is the child?" ”

Yue Yao nodded and said, "The letter said that the child had suffered some hardships before, but I have already instructed someone to take good care of her, don't worry." ”

Hao's mother is looking forward to seeing her granddaughter as soon as possible.
