Chapter 18: Quarrels

The results of the competition of the Douwen Club came out quickly, and the person named Xiaoxiao came out on top as expected, as for the others, it doesn't matter, anyway, An Ru is not very interested. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But it's a pity that Song Pingru didn't get the ranking as she wished, although she thought that she had some talent, but the people who came to this Douwen Club this time were all some characters who had been cultivated by everyone, so even if Song Pingru was defeated, it was not so incomprehensible.

An Ru understands the depth of this Douwen Society, it is because she has the experience of the previous life, but this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Song Pingru, a boudoir girl who has been a little conceited since she was born.

Song Jiaoru is a little self-aware of her talents, but this does not prevent her from laughing at others after they fail! At this time, facing Song Pingru's somewhat depressed little face, Song Jiaoru gloated.

"I'll just say, this Douwen Club doesn't even participate in the eldest sister, but the seventh sister is anxious!" Song Jiaoru teased.

Looking at Song Jiaoru such a snobbish appearance, Song Pingru secretly hated in her heart, but it was not easy to attack at this time, so she had to endure her anger, her face was silent, as if she had never understood the meaning of Song Jiaoru's words, "Qi Niang thinks that she is a shallow learner, so naturally she is not as good as the eldest sister, but ......", Song Pingru smiled sarcastically at Song Jiaoru, "Pingru participated, but for the sake of the sixth sister, didn't the sixth sister let the eldest sister win this glass lamp for you before?" ā€

"You ......" How can you be so kind, Song Jiaoru heard Song Ping mention this stubble, but she pointed at her but couldn't say a word.

"It's been so long, it's time to go back!" An Ru didn't look at the two of them, turned her head and said to Song Xinru and Song Yaru.

Hearing An Ru say that she was going to get up and leave, Song Jiaoru put down her heart of confrontation with Song Pingru for the time being, and glared at Song Pingru fiercely and didn't look over. And Song Pingru was not to be outdone, until Song Jiaoru turned her head, and her eyes were still staring coldly at Song Jiaoru's back.

After the sisters went back, the people who served in Songqingtang said that the old lady had rested, and it was inconvenient to see An Ru and the others again, so everyone went back to their rooms.

At noon the next day, An Ru read the account books of the morning, and was walking out of the study at this time, when he heard several little maids in the yard gathering under the grape trellis in the yard while doing needlework and breaking their mouths.

As soon as An Ru came out of the room, he saw this scene, and it was Huang Xiang who accompanied An Ru into the study today, and the red sandalwood had already gone to the big kitchen to get lunch, at this time Huang Xiang saw that the people in this courtyard were getting together and talking nonsense, so he scolded: "What kind of tongue is it chewing here!"

"Miss..."As soon as they saw An Ru who came out, several little girls were silent and hung their heads a little uneasily.

Zi Sandalwood came back with today's lunch, and as soon as she came back, she saw Huang Xiang standing under the grape trellis and counting a few little girls with flat heads, while the young lady was standing on the corridor on the side and watching.

After An Ru saw that the lunch had been brought back, he entered the inner hall without saying anything, and after a while, Huang Xiang also came in with a hesitant face.

The red sandalwood was setting up the meal, and when he heard the sound, he glanced at the yellow fragrance that came in. An Ru was sitting on the table waiting for Rosewood to arrange the food, glanced at the figure standing beside him and said, "Did something happen again?"

Huang Xiang didn't want An Ru to hear this kind of bad thing, but An Ru asked, Huang Xiang didn't dare to hide it, and said the matter as it was, "I heard that the sixth lady and the seventh lady in the house had a conflict, and the two had a dispute in the backyard, and then they were stabbed in front of the old lady somehow, and in the end, the six young ladies seemed to cry out from Songqingtang." Huang Xiang was concise and to the point.

"Do you know what's going on?" An Ru took the chopsticks handed over by Zi Zhan, paused for a moment and asked.

"This ......" These are all facts that everyone in the mansion has seen, as for other things, Huang Xiang has not come to ask in a hurry, Huang Xiang hung his head and was a little ashamed.

An Ru saw that Huang Xiang didn't answer, and probably knew something, so he ordered: "The other few people who were chatting under the shelf just now are rough girls in the yard, you will go to the willow branch to listen later, it is best to find out a detail, even if you can't find out anything, it doesn't matter." This matter has little to do with herself, An Ru simply wants to see the clever and well-informed girls in the yard, and she will look at it in the future.

Speaking of watching people, An Ru remembered it, and couldn't help but ask Zi Tan on the side: "Is there any news about the things that your cousin did?"

"My brother said that according to the girl's instructions, he has found a few suitable candidates, and when the girl is free, he can sign the death deed after a while!" Rosewood stepped aside and said.

"Well, you ask your brother to arrange a place for them to live first, and the silver will be paid from me, and then arrange a place for them to go after I see them next time." An Ru had already eaten eight minutes full, and the red sandalwood was as good as a stream, and scooped a small half bowl of soup for An Ru.

An Ru wants to cultivate the people around him, but this step is not so easy, it is not enough to find people according to Sishun's upright temperament, An Ru still has to find a way.

After the meal, An Ru took a half-day nap, and during An Ru's nap, others didn't dare to disturb, even Huang Xiang and Zi Tan also retreated to do other things.

After a little while, after An Ru woke up, she took Huang Xiang to her mother's yard. When An Ru arrived, Sun also happened to get up and was sitting in the outer hall drinking ginseng tea, and he was a little surprised to see An Ru coming over at this hour.

"Why has this hour come, now is the time of autumn, although the sun is still hot, but it is much cooler than before, why don't you rest for a while." Sun said with a smile.

"Mother is not up too!" An Ruyi replied with a smile.

"Mother is no better than you Jiao'e, there are a lot of things going on now, how can you sleep whenever you want." Sun was amused by her daughter, and rarely pulled An Ru warmly and nodded her small nose.

Poked so gently by Sun, An Ru struggled to get up from Sun's body, covered her nose with her hand, and looked at her mother with a coquettish face, with some blame in her eyes.

Sun laughed, pulled his daughter again, and didn't tease her anymore, only letting her snuggle up to his side. "Can you read your ledger?" Sun turned his head to look at his daughter beside him and asked.

An Ru frowned, and squirmed a little shyly and uneasily: "I only touched a little doorway, and the others have to be studied carefully."

Sun nodded, it's already good to get a little way, she doesn't expect her daughter to be self-taught when no one is teaching, as long as she is willing to learn, then everything is easy to say, "You don't have to worry, this account book, it took my mother three months to figure it all out!" Now you have to learn housekeeping, and your mother doesn't force you to learn how well you can learn, and it will take a few years before you and Lu, just go through the process first, and then learn more easily! ā€

"Well, thank you mother, my daughter will learn by heart!" An Ru pulled Sun's sleeve and reassured.

Sun looked at his daughter's serious expression, and he didn't care too much, but he had to have a full set of things to learn, so he talked about the shop together.

"In the West Street and Alley, my mother has a cloth shop for marriage, and now my mother will hand it over to you to take care of, and in the future, you only need to give me the general ledger of the items that enter and exit the shop every month!"

"Really?" An Ru was a little surprised, and she kept thinking about what excuse she would have to leave the house in the future, and now it is much easier to have this shop.

"Well, but although it's for you to manage, you still have to follow me to learn hard about this main matter, but don't be impetuous!" Sun said as if warning.

"Yes, mother, it's just mother, I haven't seen my cousin Zheng'er for a few days, can I go to the General's Mansion to see my cousin?" An Ru said coquettishly. She came here today to have something to do, and she didn't dare to forget it like last time.

"Didn't you always dislike going to your rented house?" Sun was very surprised, Song Anru never liked to go to the General's Mansion, every time she asked Anru to go with her, she was reluctant, what happened this time.

"Mother, do you agree......" Song Anru stretched her tone and shook her sleeve at Sun's head.

"Oops, alright... Okay, I'm afraid of you, ancestor ......" Sun was dizzy by An Ru, and covered his forehead and admitted.
