Zhuang Ruolan drank the bird's nest porridge from Caiyun, the child was five months old, and she was already very pregnant, and she had to be supported when she walked. The experienced mother said that she should move around more after eating, which is conducive to production, so after eating the bird's nest porridge, Zhuang Ruolan walked around the yard with the support of Caiyun.

When the mother-in-law returned, she handed the letter to Ruolan.

Ruolan walked for a while with the support of Caiyun, and her legs were a little sore. Let Caiyun help her into the house and sit down, and asked, "What else did the cousin say besides this letter?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and replied, "My cousin just asked me to give this letter to the master, and she didn't say anything else, and said that she was doing well in Lianfu." However, "

Caiyun hurriedly asked, "If you have something, just say it, don't swallow it." "I hate these maids the most when they reply that half of them are left and half of them are annoying.

The mother-in-law relayed the news she heard from the maid in Lanxi Courtyard: "I heard the maid in Lanxi Courtyard say that the cousin girl is not doing well in Lianfu. The maid said that the vegetables given to the girl at the shopping place were very poor, and the green leaves were full of insects; What's even more excessive is the kitchen that delivers a rancid breakfast to the girl. It's just that I asked my cousin, and my cousin said that she was doing well, and I don't know if what the maid said was true or not."

Ruolan's brows wrung up when she heard this, it doesn't matter if the food is poor, the minions below are the most high-rise and low-level; It's just a rancid meal for Yueyao to eat, which is too much.

Zhuang Ruolan felt that the room was a little stuffy.

Caiyun looked at his master speechlessly, and just said that the current weather is neither hot nor cold, just right. Now it is said that the weather is hot and humid, and it is really strange for my own master.

Zhuang Ruolan thought for a while and asked, "Caiyun, do you think what the maid of Lanxi Courtyard said is true or false" Zhuang Ruolan felt that the Mo family should not be so excessive.

Caiyun thought for a moment and said, "The people of Lianfu must have treated my cousin slowly. It's just that it shouldn't be possible to send a bad meal to the cousin, and the cousin is not without support, if you let the master know that the time comes to pick up the girl to the mansion, even the face of the mansion will be lost. ”

Zhuang Ruolan also felt that she was half convinced, and she was not ready to tell her father-in-law and husband about it. Yue Yao really couldn't live in the Lian family, so she naturally took the initiative to speak. Since it was okay, it was not to the point of asking for help. Zhuang Ruolan was just very curious and asked: "Why does the eldest lady of the Lian family treat a child like this, what kind of enmity does the eldest lady of the Lian family have with her aunt and grandmother?" But Mo is not a stepmother, there is only one reason to deal with Yueyao like this, that is, he has a big enmity with his aunt and grandmother, otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

Caiyi walked in, listened to their words, and told Ruolan the news she got inadvertently: "Young lady, even the eldest lady and the second lady have always been at odds. It is said that it was originally due to the conflict caused by the dowry, and the eldest lady of the Lian family was sixty-four dowries that day, but the dowry of our eldest aunt and grandmother was one hundred and twenty-eight. ”

Ma's dowry made Mo's face dull and became a laughing stock in the Lian Mansion. I pressed my head before I entered the door, and after entering the door, I was liked by the old lady, and I suppressed Mo to death. Ma is loved by his husband again, and it can be said that except for the heirs, everything else makes Mo jealous.

Ruolan was surprised: "Impossible, I heard that my aunt and grandmother are smart and capable people, and it is impossible to do such an unreliable thing." ”

Ruolan is in the Guogong Mansion, and unless the daughter-in-law who enters the door later is of a big generation, the dowry of the person who enters the door later will be less. Because as long as you have a normal brain, it is impossible to let your dowry exceed that of your sister-in-law, and it is obviously a hateful thing to do, which is equivalent to opposing your concubine without passing the door. If what Caiyi said was true, Ruolan was very suspicious that the people in the mansion said that the aunt and grandmother were smart or not, and was it a sign of wisdom to do such a thing.

Caiyun shook her head and said: "Mrs. Liu said that the eldest aunt and grandmother tried every possible way to persuade Mrs. Tai at that time, saying that marrying in this way would definitely cause discord between the concubines, and the meaning of the eldest aunt and grandmother was to marry forty-eight on the surface, and the others were good in the dark, but the old lady did not agree and insisted on using one hundred and twenty-eight dowry." "I don't know if the old lady was old and confused at that time.

Ruolan didn't speak at the moment, this mother-in-law was fortunately gone, and if she was, she would have a headache, so it was really wise for her to choose someone who didn't have a mother-in-law.

Caiyun whispered: "Speaking of which, the third girl helped the eldest young master deal with the Cheng family before, and she is also a very smart person, but why she did what she did is incomprehensible." "Either you will ruin your reputation, or you will swallow your anger, it is really incomprehensible.

Ruolan looked at Caiyun and said, "The third girl will not swallow her anger like this. You see, this thing will not be so easy. "She confronted Mai Mang with Mo's needle that day for her younger brother, but Yue Yao didn't seem to have to put her in the Li family

Thinking of this, Ruolan shook her head and smiled: "This cousin is really smart, I didn't expect her to be planning for a long time." What a smart person" At the beginning, she had a lot of scruples about her younger brother, so she maintained a balance with the Bao family, but Yueyao has no such worries now. Yue Yao is very smart, and she must have been guarding against the Mo family for a long time, so she sent Tingzheng to the Li family to study early. The Li family has a good family style, Lord Li and his uncle are close friends, and handing over Tingzheng to Master Li is the best choice. Now that Yue Yao is left alone in the mansion, she is naturally not afraid of restraint.

As for reputation, Ruolan disdains fame the most. Bao's face is charitable, but there is a stomach of bad water behind her back, since she returned to Bao's house, she didn't know how much she had suffered, she was so careful, and the result was not the same to get a bad reputation, but Bao's had a good reputation, so the key to a good reputation is whether she can do it and whether she can deceive people. She kind of knows that what has a good reputation is not necessarily good, and what has a bad reputation is not necessarily bad.

Although Caiyun didn't know why her girl said such a sentence, the girl said that the cousin was a smart person, that is, a smart person.

The maid outside came over and said, "Young lady, Miss Lu Biao is here." "The people in the main courtyard don't like Lu Ying, they think that Lu Ying's eyelids are too shallow, and her eyes can't turn when she looks at good things.

Ruolan stood up for a while and said, "Let her come in" She has more than ten cousins in the Guogong Mansion, what kind of temperament is not as good as Lu Ying, but it is a little greedy and cheap, and it is easy to get rid of it, and taking a little thing can make her happy for a long time. And the things that gave Lu Ying are not the same as the things that her father-in-law gave to Yueyao. Of course, the status of the two people in Mafu is also incomparable.

Lu Ying was wearing a pink rose top, covered with an emerald green smoke gauze loose flower skirt, combed a wishful bun, decorated with gold begonia beads, and wore a pair of red gold pearl pendants, which looked very gorgeous. Lu Ying likes to wear bright things.

The clothes and jewelry were all given by Ruolan. Ruolan is different from the Mo family, since the two of them have already lived in their house, they simply have a good face, so she deliberately dressed Lu Ying beautifully, so that everyone can see how their Ma Mansion treats her niece well.

As soon as Lu Ying saw Ruolan, she showed a bright smile and exclaimed, "Cousin-in-law." "Since my aunt left with Ma Linlin, beautiful clothes can be worn, and good-looking jewelry can also be worn, so I don't have to worry about being caught by Ma Linlin.

Ruolan couldn't help but shake her head in her heart when she looked at Lu Ying's flattering expression, why is the difference between cousins so big Yueyao has grievances, not to mention, unless she really can't go on, she will come to ask for it, and it is also very generous to ask for something, so people will not get bored. But Lu Ying is a little twisted, once or twice, it is annoying.

Lu Ying did have something to ask Ruolan, and she wanted to go to the temple to offer incense in two days. This is actually mainly Xiao Ma's idea, Xiao Ma is to let Lu Ying go to Zhaohua Temple to incense.

Ruolan vaguely understood what Xiao Ma's idea was, and said: "If my cousin wants to go to Shangxiang, it's best to go to Hualin Temple" The grade of Zhaohua Temple is too high, she doesn't mind dressing up Lu Ying beautifully, but she doesn't give any more than the monthly silver every month. And a trip to Zhaohua Temple costs a lot of money.

Lu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Caiyun couldn't figure out what this little Ma's thinking was, when the girl just passed the door, she didn't come out on the grounds of poor health, and when Cheng's body got better, what made people speechless was that they still wanted to point fingers at their girls. As a result, Mrs. Liu got the news and came over and stabbed her fiercely, and Xiao Ma immediately shrank

Back in the yard. But fortunately, this cousin is easy to send away, and if she gives something good, she will be splendid, and asked: "Girl, why do you want to go to incense?"

Ruolan laughed and said, "How do I know." "You must not guess this kind of person's thinking, because you can't guess even if you have a broken head.

After Ma Chengteng came back, he opened the letter and looked at the back, which was a little ugly. Ma Peng happened to be by his side and asked, "Dad, is there something wrong with my cousin?"

Ma Chengteng handed the letter to Ma Peng. Ma Peng was surprised after reading it: "My sister wants to go to Zhaohua Temple to pray for the old lady, and she has the heart to chant Buddha for the old lady at home, so why go to Zhaohua Temple to suffer this." "Life in the mountains is hard, that's what everybody knows.

Ma Chengteng was hesitating whether to fulfill Yueyao's wish. Ma Chengteng knew very well that Yueyao's temperament was very stubborn, and if he didn't help, he probably wouldn't be able to stop Yueyao from going to the temple to pray for blessings.

Ma Chengteng thought about it for a long time and compromised, and Yue Yao insisted on doing this, so he helped Zhang Luo one or two. Temples like Zhaohua Temple have courtyards dedicated to small residences for large families and nobles, which are exquisite and comfortable, and these courtyards are not easy to book.

Ma Chengteng didn't want to talk to Zhuang Ruolan about these unpleasant things, so he entered the room after adjusting and asked with a smile: "Is the child well-behaved today?" Ma Peng was a father for the first time, and he was surprised and worried, and he had to talk to the child every day.

Ruolan touched her stomach and said, "The child is very well-behaved today." "It is said that it is scary for pregnant people to be happy, but the child she is pregnant with has never had any special reaction. The experienced mother said it should be a daughter.

Ma Chengteng is not unhappy when he gets the news, as long as his daughter-in-law can give birth, there will always be a grandson, both of them are not very old, and he is not in a hurry.

Ma Peng heard that this baby was a daughter and said that her daughter was good, and the reaction of the two made Ruolan feel no pressure, and because of this, Caiyun and Caiyi no longer felt that it was bad to marry into the Ma family. There is a patriarchal mother-in-law, and as soon as she knows that she is pregnant with a daughter, she will put her face in the room. In addition, although Ma Peng was brought back by Ruolan in early summer, he did not enter the house in early summer, and he always guarded Zhuang Ruolan. Ma Peng doesn't talk sweetly, but he often buys some pastries and gadgets from outside and comes back to make Zhuang Ruolan happy, which makes Ruolan very heartwarming and praises the maids around her.

Not to mention Caiyun and Caiyi, Zhuang Changhe no longer felt that Ma Peng was not worthy of Zhuang Ruolan. Zhuang Changhe knew that since his sister was pregnant, his brother-in-law would go back at other times unless he was on duty, and he didn't even go to socialize.

Ma Peng touched Ruolan's stomach and smiled.

Ma Peng thought he was hiding it well, but Ruolan still saw that he was not in a good mood and asked, "Husband, tell me something." Doesn't it mean that three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang, and things are stuffy in the heart, and it is not good for the body. "Ruolan rarely asked about Ma Peng in the past, especially on errands. The male protagonist and the female protagonist are clearly divided in the Guogong Mansion, and Ruolan has also learned a lot. It's just that this time Ruolan felt that her husband was unhappy, and it should have something to do with Yueyao.

Ma Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's my cousin's business." My cousin said that she wanted to go to Zhaohua Temple to pray for Mrs. Lian, but now it's almost October, and the weather is about to get colder. Yueyao went to Zhaohua Temple at this time, the days on the mountain were very hard, and I didn't want her to go; But my father said that my cousin was stubborn and didn't make sense. Dad is going to find a small yard for her to live in. ”

Ruolan was stunned for a moment and asked, "My cousin said that she was going to Zhaohua Temple to pray for Mrs. Lian, and she was going to live for a long time."

Ruolan frowned, and said, "This is a problem. There are very few small courtyards in Zhaohua Temple for people to live in, and all of them have been contracted by the dignitaries and nobles in the capital for many years. If you don't have enough face, you can't borrow it. "Zhaohua Temple has a small courtyard for those who pray for the blessing of their families or keep them safe; But Zhaohua Temple is a royal temple, so those who live in a small courtyard for a long time are either rich or expensive; Yue Yao is afraid that it will not be easy to get in.

Ma Peng nodded and said, "Well, my cousin said she was going to Zhaohua Temple." My cousin didn't tell us that she was having a bad time in Lianfu, but this was the first time she took the initiative to speak, and her father wanted to fulfill her. ”

Ruolan pondered for a while and replied: "Husband, my grandfather's family has also rented a courtyard in Zhaolin Temple for a long time, but this courtyard

The Son is not inside the temple but outside the temple; The condition of the courtyard is also simple, I don't know if my cousin is willing to live in it" The small courtyard in the temple of Zhaohua Temple has been counted by two slaps, so when the temple was renovated, a row of small courtyards was built on the outside of the temple, and there were not many, only about 20 small courtyards, and the essence of building these small courtyards was to relieve the internal pressure.

The small courtyards are very shabbyly furnished, mainly for those who go to the temple for a long stay. Don't look at these small courtyards, there are only a few small courtyards and a few rooms, and they are very simple, but such a simple house cannot be rented if you don't have the power or power. At least you have to be ranked in the capital, otherwise you can't live even if you have money.

Of course, these small courtyards were not simple at first, and they were all well furnished. Later, a son of a powerful family brought a woman to live in a small courtyard, and was known by the imperial history and participated in a book. At that time, the queen mother believed in Buddhism, and was furious when she got the news, saying that this person had blasphemed the Buddha, and directly sent this person 3,000 miles away, and issued a decree that it would never be forgiven. In addition, the Empress Dowager issued a decree to reprimand all those who arranged small courtyards into palatial mansions. The Empress Dowager's actions have led to the fact that these courtyards are now very simple.

Ma Peng is not an ignorant person, and it is for her sake that his wife can come forward, and asked: "We will tell our cousin about these situations and let her decide for herself." If she thinks it's too bitter, forget it. What do you think" Ma Peng After two years of training, no one will say that he is wooden when he goes out again. Ma Peng was admitted to the Jinshi and had water, but since he entered Hanlin, he has handled the relationship with Shangfeng very well, and he can get along with his colleagues. Therefore, from time to time, he will be praised by Shangfeng and colleagues, which makes Ma Peng's confidence greatly increased. Ma Peng did not have a high sense of vanity because of these praises, he was still down-to-earth and errand, of course, there was also Ruolan's credit.

Ma Peng's performance not only made Ma Chengteng happy, but also made Master Zhuang happy, feeling that his vision of choosing a son-in-law was really good.

Ruolan nodded, but with her guess, Yueyao would agree 100%.

When Mo heard that the Ma family was coming again, he felt very uncomfortable. This morning came and people came again in the afternoon, so I simply let the people from Mafu live in Lian's house. It's a pity that she didn't have a suitable reason not to let people come, but her husband agreed that the Ma family would often send people to visit Yueyao, and if she didn't agree, it would be tantamount to demolishing her husband's platform.

Mo said hatefully: "The Cheng family is really a wreck, and he can't even deal with a child for so many years." "If Ma Peng didn't get up, how could the Ma family have the arrogance they have now. Ma Peng married Zhuang, and her momentum became more and more vigorous, which made her swallow her anger.

Yueyao got Ma Peng's letter and immediately replied that she was willing to live in the courtyard. Yueyao said in the letter that she went to the mountain to eat fasting and recite the Buddha and copy the Buddhist scriptures, and it was right to clear the bitterness.

Ma Peng got the news and immediately told her father about it. Ma Chengteng didn't need to ask and knew that it must have been suggested by his daughter-in-law, but he didn't have any objections. It's just that Ma Chengteng is very distressed when he thinks about the simple yard, why doesn't this kid have a peaceful life.

Ma Peng hurriedly said: "Dad, it's okay if the house is shabby. We'll send more stuff when the time comes. Dad, I think it's actually quite good, and it's more convenient for us to visit our cousin. "In fact, Ma Peng is completely nonsense, it will take half a day to go back and forth from the capital to Zhaohua Temple, and both of them have to be on errands, where is it convenient.

Ma Chengteng naturally did not object: "Yes, when the time comes, send more things up, and it will only take two months." ”

Ruolan immediately sent someone to tell the Duchess of the Kingdom about this matter. Mrs. Guogongfu is the real person in charge of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Shizi is the steward, so the two of them must be let know.

Mo's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What did you say?"

Hua Pozi whispered: "The people in the mansion are saying that the second master left all the family wealth to the big house on his deathbed. Madam, this matter should have been spread by the third girl. "Except for the three girls, they have warned everyone else.

Mo Shi really wanted to put Yueyao under house arrest, but unfortunately her sanity was still there, and she didn't have the guts. Ma Chengteng can come to the door once, and he can also come to the door a second time. She swallowed this breath for the time being.
