"Auntie's great kindness to the slave maid, the slave and maid have always kept it in mind." The maid knelt down respectfully and saluted Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu smiled faintly and took the drawer away. Although the maid knelt there, she could also see that in the drawer, there was a layer full of small ingots of five taels of silver, so many, there were always seventeen or eighteen, right?

Aunt Zhu had already grabbed it and grabbed out two small ingots and gave them to the maid: "Take it, your brother is married, and your family always asks for some silver for happy events." These are sent back to your parents when you have time. The maid took the little ingot, and kowtowed to Aunt Zhu again and again: "Thank you, grandma." ”

Aunt Zhu's lips pursed slightly: "You have done such a big thing for me, don't worry, I will not treat you badly." The maid should get up and retreat. Looking at the back of the maid, Aunt Zhu's eyebrows frowned slightly, in this family, only the people around Qiu's side can be bought, but unfortunately, the people around Qiu's family are not easy to use.

The maid walked out of Aunt Zhu's yard, walked in the other direction for a while, entered the garden, and walked around the garden for a long time, and then walked out of the garden. Why didn't I see anyone for half a day? The eldest grandmother just splashed some oil on the mat and wanted to go back to change her clothes. also said that he wanted that goose-yellow spring shirt, but he couldn't find it, and he didn't see you. ”

Xiao Ning hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I don't know what's wrong today, it's a bit out of luck." I went to squat for a long time, and I was afraid that the grandmother would smell bad on her body, so when I went back to change my clothes and came back, I still thought that the grandmother was still in the garden, and who knew that I wouldn't see it. ”

"Sister Xiao Ning is smart, what's wrong today? It's all here, and it's still in the garden. Grandma thought that you were afraid that you would return to the garden, so I asked me to look for you. Let's go, grandma still has to wait for her clothes to change. The maid joked and pulled Xiao Ning to Qiu's courtyard.

Look, no one has noticed that Rong Yuzhi is gone. Xiao Ning counted the time, at this time, probably they had already boarded the boat, maybe the boat was out of the dock. As soon as you get out of the dock, the sky is high and the sea is wide, so where else to find it? Xiao Ning smiled lightly and had already entered the Qiu family's courtyard.

When Qiu Shi saw Xiao Ning coming in, he also asked a few words, so he asked Xiao Ning to find his clothes, changed his clothes, and led people to continue to sit in front. As soon as he walked not far away, he saw a mother-in-law with a few maids coming over, and when he saw Qiu's family, the mother-in-law hurriedly avoided the side and saluted.

"Where are you going?" Qiu asked casually.

"Back to the eldest grandmother, the third grandmother said, let the younger ones send some food to the eldest lady, so as not to go hungry." The mother-in-law replied respectfully, but Xiao Ning was like being struck by lightning, this is going to be sent, and she will definitely shout out that Rong Yuzhi is gone, so how can it be good. No, I have to hurry up and report to Aunt Zhu. Xiao Ning thought a little flustered.

"Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you, it's not too hot this day, why are you suddenly sweating profusely?" Qiu Shi asked and led people to continue walking, and before Xiao Ning could come up with a way, another maid had already smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Ning just said that she ran her stomach, at this time, is it another belly consumption?" Yes, who asked her to drink the bowl of chicken soup that her grandmother rewarded this morning? ”

Qiu's temperament is peaceful, and the maids sometimes like to say a few jokes to her, Qiu couldn't help but smile: "Okay, then you can go, I'm here, it's good to have Xiaoqiu to serve." Xiao Ning couldn't wait for this, and thanked Qiu Shi and went to the other side.

"Look, she's still in such a hurry, she deserves to be greedy." Qiu Shi and Xiaoqiu said, and went to the front. The banquet is still very lively, and the drama on the stage has already been sung. Qiu Shi sat next to Yan Ran and said softly: "Did I miss this scene?" ”

"Not only did I not miss it, but there were some scenes that were sung just right." Yan Ran said lightly, and said in Qiu's ear: "There is still a play at home today." ”

"Another one? I don't know which one sang it? Qiu asked suspiciously. Yan Ran had already smiled and said in Qiu's ear: "At this moment, I am singing, I won't hide it from you, someone just came to report, the eldest lady is not in the room." ”

Xiao Ning told the ladies over there that Rong Yuzhi would go back to the room, and of course Aunt Zhu's maid would also go to tell Rong Yuzhi's maid that Rong Yuzhi had returned to the room, and let her report to Yanran. Qiu Fang heard it, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter, it's not in the room, is it where to play?" ”

Yanran patted Qiu's hand, Qiu understood, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Then why do you still need someone to send food over, why don't you hurry up and find it?" ”

"What about so many people here? Do you want people to see the jokes of the Rong family? Although the Rong family has enough jokes, Yanran is still reluctant to add another one at this time. The mother-in-law who had just gone to deliver food to Rong Yuzhi had already walked in and whispered in Yanran's ear.

Yanran nodded, flipped her wrist, and a cup of tea spilled onto her sleeve. The voice was a little loud, and the people around immediately looked over, and Yanran had already said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled the tea on my body, let me change the clothes on the □." Please also ask the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to accompany me more. ”

This is a common thing, after all, it is not very rude to spend a little less time with you than to wear dirty clothes to a banquet. Yanran left, and Zhou said: "I still said that it came from a big family, but I can participate in a banquet and splash tea on my body, it's just ......."

Grandma Liu pointed to the stage: "Listen to your play with peace of mind, do you still want others to continue to watch your family's play?" Zhou snorted in his nose, Qin only smiled faintly, and talked to the person next to him.

"You all know that I have been here in Yangzhou for forty years, and I am also self-made, but my heirs are not prosperous, and I only have a daughter. I don't know how much I spoil again, although someone asks for a name, but I can't marry my daughter to harm other people's families, so as not to ruin our friendship for decades. Master Rong drank a few glasses of wine, and then said loudly to everyone.

"Master Rong, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd, let's talk about it quickly, in the future, who should we have more contact with?" Master Rong touched his beard before he said: "You also know that my daughter can only eat a mouthful of tea and rice, this man has money, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao?" Therefore, I had already made a plan to recruit a son-in-law for my daughter, raise it at home, and eat tea and rice for the rest of my life. As for the family business of the Rong family, I will choose one of the nephews, and you all know that my third nephew is honest and loyal, diligent and hardworking, and he is a trustworthy person, and I will ask you to take more care of him in the future. ”

As soon as Master Rong's words fell, Second Master Rong changed color, and someone had already said congratulations to Rong Qi. Master Rong stretched out his hand to ask everyone to be quiet before saying: "This matter is not only a major matter, but also involves the way out of the rest of my Rong family, and I ask you to come tomorrow and testify for me." The other three nephews, I have also prepared an inheritance, and I will not let them suffer from grievances. ”

An industry, the top of the sky is only 10,000 taels of silver, that's all, do you want to say that you don't let yourself be wronged? Second Master Rong looked at his father-in-law and wanted his father-in-law to fight for himself, after all, the Rong family's family business fell into his own hands, which was also good for him. Master Zhou stroked the beard on his chin, this matter is always a family affair, but if he doesn't make a sound, it's a little bad.

A maid walked in, came to Rong Qi's side, and whispered to Rong Qi. Rong Qi was very strange, but he still said to Master Rong: "Uncle, my daughter-in-law sent someone to say that there was a guest from afar who wanted to see his nephew, and the nephew would go out first." ”

Master Rong nodded to Rong Qi, and Rong Qi said that he was absent and left. The hall was still full of people and lively.

Rong Qi was greeted by the maid to a small hall, and he didn't see the guests, but saw his wife sitting there. Rong Qi felt even more strange: "When you said it just now, I thought it was Brother Cheng who came, and you called me like this, but who knew that it was you." ”

Yan Ran smiled lightly: "Our sister-in-law, who has grown in ability, eloped with someone." ”

As soon as the word elopement came out, Rong Qi was suddenly surprised: "Yuzhi rarely goes out, and he is accompanied by someone when he goes out, where did he make an appointment?" Yan Ran didn't speak, only pouted on the ground. Rong Qi saw two maids tied to the ground, one was the big maid next to Rong Yuzhi, and the other seemed to be next to Qiu.

"I'm looking for you, not to surprise you, but at this moment, they have all boarded the boat, I'm afraid that they are all out of Yangzhou City, and the things outside are in the hands of your man's family, so you look for someone and hurry up to chase after them." Yanran didn't tell Rong Qi how to interrogate these two people, but just said to Rong Qi.

Rong Qi already understood, turned around and walked out. Xiao Ning, who was tied up on the ground, was already whimpering: "Third grandma, I am the maid of the eldest grandmother, don't spew blood, saying that I deceived the eldest lady out of the house." ”

Yanran just smiled, and Mrs. Lu had already snorted: "Bloody mouth? Just now I saw you sneaky, let people follow you, you didn't go to the thatched house, you entered Aunt Zhu's house. Although it only came out after a while after entering, the eldest grandmother did not tell you to talk to Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu asked the maid to go to the eldest lady's courtyard after a while. If there are no ghosts, the ghosts will believe it. ”

Xiao Ning was still about to be hard-mouthed, when he heard someone outside speak: "Miss Su, thank you for your drive, come and help us recognize people." As he spoke, someone had come in with a young girl.

Xiao Ning was busy bowing her head, but Mrs. Lu had already reached out and lifted Xiao Ning's chin: "Please also ask Miss Su to recognize it." Miss Su recognized it at a glance, and couldn't help but say to Yanran in surprise: "Third grandma, what's wrong?" Could it be that this girl has hit you? Indeed, she told us that it was not right for the eldest lady of your mansion to go back to the room angrily, but it would not be tied up. ”

"Thank you, Miss Su." Yan Ran had already stood up and said to Miss Su with a smile: "It's just a small thing, not a big deal." Miss Su, you also know that there are some things that are difficult to talk about in this family. ”
