Knowing that An Ruolan couldn't be resisted, everyone didn't say anything more and accepted her kindness.

It's just that the sisters-in-law of the Wei family still want to bring more back to the Northeast by themselves, so that An Ruolan can recommend them.

An Ruolan said with a smile: "Sisters-in-law don't have to bother so much, this set can be used for at least three or four months, when the sisters-in-law run out, if you think it's applicable, I'll send someone to send it to you." After all, these creams will be bad after a long time, so it is better to buy them after they are used up. ”

The delicate female shopkeeper also helped to persuade: "What the young owner said is right, these creams are all refined from medicinal materials, and have a certain period of aging, it is not suitable to buy too much at one time. ”

The fourth sister-in-law felt that it made sense, so she didn't insist anymore, and the fourth sister-in-law sighed regretfully: "It would be nice if there were also branches in the northeast." ”

Although they love beauty, they don't want to work too hard for An Ruolan and owe her too much favor.

These words woke up An Ruolan, she remembered that Wei Xing said that the northeast is mountainous and rich in medicinal herbs, and it is best to do a medicinal material purchase business there, if you can open a branch shop over there, it will be much more convenient to think about it, because all the materials needed for Jiaoyan are medicinal materials.

After careful consideration, An Ruolan felt more and more that this method was feasible, but she had to ask her father-in-law's opinion first.

She didn't say this idea immediately, after all, it was still a shadowless thing, and if it didn't work, it would save the cousins and sisters-in-law from having a happy time.

But she is more and more eager to see her father-in-law.

Although he stopped the idea of buying a carriage and returning to the Northeast, this did not prevent the four concubines of the Wei family from learning about the various care goods in the shop. They're going to see it first. In the future, it will be much more convenient to let An Ruolan send it directly. Because An Ruolan was there, the female shopkeeper also took out a lot of trial products from the store. Let everyone experience the effect, in this way, whether it is the Duchess of Wei Guo and Wei Shao, or the four concubines of the Wei family, they are even more fascinated by this bottle and can so much that they can't walk.

On this day, everyone soaked in the delicate shop, and under the guidance of the female shopkeeper, everyone also learned how to use various creams. and how to take care of your skin.

The delicate female shopkeeper is a beautiful and mature woman, full of charm, and she asked. Everyone knew that she was in her forties, but she looked no more than in her early thirties, which amazed the women of the Wei family and made them pay more and more attention to care and maintenance.

Received gifts and learned. A group of people returned to the Patriotic Mansion with satisfaction.

Contrary to the lightness of the Patriotic House. The Wenxin Marquis Mansion has been shrouded in clouds during this time.

There is an endless stream of people who make trouble in front of the Hou Mansion, and there are more and more, every day they either splash dye or throw rotten cabbage, so that the people in the Hou Mansion dare not go out lightly, and even the men of the An family go home every day on duty, they can only sneak in through the back door, otherwise they will be stopped and beaten by the people who make trouble in front of the door.

The clan elders put pressure on An Shiting many times to change the patriarch.

Although now it is Anderson who is in charge. But the patriarch of the An clan is still the old marquis, but the old marquis has never come forward. If this continues, the Hou Mansion may really change from the main family to a side branch, which the old lady does not want to see.

No matter how filial An Shiting is, under the double pressure, he can't help complaining, and complains to the old lady about his father's selfishness and ruthlessness many times.

Mrs. An only said: "Some people are better to live than to die, your father is like this, instead of expecting him to keep the position of the patriarch, it is better for you to win the position of the patriarch and fight for the position of the next patriarch, or our advantage." ”

An Shiting was shocked and frightened, is this too disrespectful and unfilial? But he suddenly realized, and hesitated: "But father, he ......" He didn't think that his father would hand over the position of patriarch lightly.

Although the old marquis no longer cares, everyone can see that he still attaches great importance to his status, otherwise he would not hold on to the patriarch and title.

An Shiting is still only a son.

The old lady waved her hand to interrupt him, and said solemnly: "You don't have to worry, your mother will arrange a qiē for you." ”

"But the crowd at the door is still making trouble, if it can't be calmed down, the clan will not let me be the patriarch." An Shiting is still not optimistic.

The old lady also frowned sadly, and muttered to herself, "How long will this farce continue...... Although the purpose of the person behind this is not in the Hou Mansion, if you continue to make trouble like this, the Hou Mansion will not end well. ”

An Shiting didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What is my mother talking about?" ”

The old lady shook her head and said comfortingly: "Don't worry about this matter for now, it will naturally calm down when it should be calmed down." ”

Even she couldn't believe it, but she couldn't do anything but comfort herself and her son like this.

The shop of the Hou Mansion was smashed, and there was a disturbance at the door, and the Hou Mansion was unable to make ends meet during this time, and the old lady had to ask the Murong family to cut expenses.

The monthly case of the next person, the old lady repeatedly told Murong that he could not cut it, and Murong had to save from the food and clothing of the lady and aunt, as well as the young lady and young master, everyone knew that the Hou Mansion was now in a crisis, so they did not complain, and those who had private houses also took out silver to supplement the mansion, hoping to tide over the difficulties together.

Although the days are much more difficult than before, the family is very united, the so-called difficult to see the truth, everyone's relationship is much closer, and the people are also grateful for the practice of Zanshan Houfu, and they are even more dedicated to serving the master, and no one said that they want to leave the Hou Mansion.

There is harmony and unity within the Hou Mansion, but there are always one or two thorns, and they are very dissatisfied with this situation.

Meng is one of them.

The Murong clan cut the expenses of the masters, and the other ladies were okay, they still had dowries on hand, and they could live a little more comfortably, but the Meng family's dowry had already been lost by her, not to mention letting her take out the silver to subsidize the house, she wanted to eat and wear something good, but she was stretched.

It's not that she didn't think about taking silver from An Shiyan, An Shiyan stayed on Hengji Island for two years, and did save a considerable amount of family property, but his silver was handed over to the old lady for the expenses of the house, and he himself lived a light life, how could Meng ask him for silver? Not to mention that Meng still wants to show himself well in front of him.

What's more, even Fang Bining took out the silver, and it was impossible for her to open this mouth.

If Meng Shi opened her mouth, An Shiyan would not have refused to give her the silver, but she couldn't pull it down herself, so she could only live to suffer.

After eating coarse tea and light rice for half a month, Meng Shi really couldn't bear it, and she wanted to go back to her parents' house to take refuge on the pretext of visiting her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

She thought that she wanted to stay for a few days first, and then she would go back when the Hou Mansion returned to normal, and if the Hou Mansion did not solve the matter for too long, she would ask her parents and brothers for some silver as a subsidy, so that she would not be too sad to go back.

Meng's abacus played very well, and wanted to take An Ruoxian back to Meng Guofu together, but An Ruoxian refused her, and persuaded her to stay, saying: "Mother, now is the time when the Hou Mansion is in danger, if you hide back to your mother's house now, your father will be completely disappointed in you, and outsiders will also say that you dislike the poor and love the rich, and when you return to the Hou Mansion, there will be no place for you!" ”

An Ruoxian's words made Meng Shi panic in the bottom of her heart, but she really didn't want to suffer anymore, so she made an excuse for herself and said: "I'm not abandoning the Hou Mansion, I'm going back to my mother's house to ask my mother's family for help, I'm for the Hou Mansion!" ”

As soon as the words came out, she even persuaded herself, and kept repeating: "Yes, I am for the Hou Mansion, I am not disgusted with the poor and love the rich, and I don't want to share the weal and sorrow with everyone, I am here to go back to the Meng Mansion to find help!" ”

An Ruoxian frowned slightly, she felt that her efforts had been wasted, a mud like the Meng clan could not support the wall, even if she restored her identity as the fifth lady, she would most likely be suspended in the future, and it would be difficult to help her.

Seeing that she was silent, Meng Shi thought that she believed in herself, and became more and more confident, and said: "Xian'er, you don't have to worry, your mother won't leave you, your mother just went to Meng Guofu for help, and she will come back soon, you can wait for your mother with peace of mind, even if the Hou Mansion can't get better for a while, your mother will come back soon, and she won't let you suffer anymore." ”

After swearing to speak, he immediately instructed Xia He and the others to prepare their luggage.

Meng Shi thought, when she returned to her parents' house, she would mention it in passing, if her father and brother were willing to help, it would be best, even if her father and brother were unwilling, she could be regarded as doing her best, no one could blame her, and no one else could gossip about her.

In the midst of deception and self-deception, Meng became more and more at ease.

An Ruoxian pursed the corners of her lips and her eyes were slightly cold, and said, "Mother, don't you have to go and inform your grandmother and eldest mother?" ”

She can be regarded as seeing Meng Shi thoroughly, but she has no choice now, she has already stood on Meng's side, and before Meng Shi is suspended, she can only continue to endure Meng Shi's stupidity.

After being reminded by her, Meng Shi remembered that there was still this stubble, and hesitated for a moment and said: "I should go back to my mother's house for the Hou Mansion to ask for help, there is no need to alarm everyone, I am not to let everyone thank me." ”

Hearing this, An Ruoxian couldn't help but sneer in her heart, she had to be moved by Meng's "unrequited dedication"!

Holding back her anger, she still persuaded: "Mother, it is a courtesy to go out and tell the elders, and if you don't inform the eldest mother, take the right cards and prepare the carriage, how do you go back to Mengguo's mansion?" ”

Although she had tried her best to suppress it, her tone was still a little sharp, especially the two words of etiquette, which made Meng Shi feel very harsh.

But all the elders are not happy to let the juniors teach etiquette, Meng's family is from everyone, and they think that their etiquette and upbringing are among the best in Shengjing, and when they hear this kind of words, they are even more upset, and immediately said: "It's not that I don't want to tell my mother and sister-in-law, I just said that I don't want to tell them the truth." ”

Do you not want to or don't dare? An Ruoxian sneered in her heart, she heard the displeasure in Meng's words, and did not speak again.

Meng Shi was a little more comfortable, coaxed her a few more words, and said that he would come back soon, and he would go to Murong to tell him to go out of the house to get the right cards, but he still didn't dare to go to the old lady's house to say a word.

Meng Shi returned to her parents' house happily, thinking that the bitterness was coming, but as soon as she had a lunch, she was knocked out of the door by Mrs. Meng, looking at the closed door, Meng felt that the sky was about to fall. (To be continued......)
