Chapter 109: Secret

This sounded so heartwarming, and Yan Ran also smiled: "If this is the case, I will also tell you, you also have me." Looking at his wife's smile, Rong Qi felt that all the flowers in the world were in full bloom, and together, they were not as beautiful as the smile on his wife's face.

You have me, I have you, we rely on each other and encourage each other, better than anything else.

The slightest affection flowed strongly on the two of them, until Qiulan, who had already exited the house, shouted by the door: "Third master, the kitchen has been delivered." Only then did they break the staring eye of their husband and wife. Rong Qi let go of the hand holding his wife, Yanran was still smiling at him, and the hearts of the two of them were full of tenderness, thick, and they were about to overflow.

The Rong family's invitation is over, and Yanran is officially in the sight of people who have dealings with the Rong family, and in the posts sent by other families, in addition to specifying who to give it to, those who invite the Rong family will bring a copy of Yanran.

Wealthy businessmen gather in Yangzhou City, and the post of this treat is also two times in three days, which can really be regarded as a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days. And the pomp and circumstance of those big banquets will make Yan Ran smack her tongue many times, everyone is like a competition, the dishes must be different, and the troupe must be the best. As for the clothes of the masters, it goes without saying, not to mention that the clothes this time are different from the last time, even in the morning, noon and evening, there are people who change three sets of clothes, not the sharp-eyed people can't see it, on the clothes, only flowers and butterflies have changed, everything else, all are exactly the same.

"The salt merchant is rich, the first in the world, and it really deserves its name." When Yanran went to visit Zeng Zhixian, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Otherwise, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion are all fat." Zeng Zhixian said lightly, and smiled: "Look, there are a lot of eunuchs sentenced by Shi Tong. Zeng Zhixian couldn't help laughing: "It's just a general judgment, how can you want any eunuch bag, besides, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, except for those that everyone gives, who dares to accept it?" Isn't that a matter of getting yourself in trouble? But ......"

Zeng Zhixian wanted to speak and stopped, Yanran came to Yangzhou for half a month, and also went to several banquets, heard something, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that this Yangzhou prefect seems to be a little greedy." ”

To be able to come to Yangzhou as a prefect, when many people leave office, the eunuch bag is enough to live the second half of the life, seven or eight birthdays in the family in three years, and the New Year's holidays, I don't want anything else, those who are filial piety, can fill their pockets.

If you are a little more greedy, and you will have a few life lawsuits, as long as it is not too out of line, the bitter lord will have more money to buy tears, and only people will open their eyes and close their eyes and not talk about him. But if even at the banquet, some people say that he is greedy, then he is really greedy.

Zeng Zhixian hummed vaguely: "This, I heard that he is the cronies and disciples of Shoufu, and the nephew of the eunuch in the palace, with such two big backers, even the governor dares not to take it seriously." ”

Yan Ran sighed: "In this case, why didn't he seek salt transportation?" "The salt transport envoy is the biggest fat shortage in the world, and not ordinary people can get this position. Zeng Zhixian said lightly: "Do you know who the current salt envoy is?" I heard that there is a relationship with the queen's mother's family. No wonder, without such a background, how could he get such a position, Yan Ran was relieved and then said: "In this case, these two people are only afraid that there will be no conflict." ”

"Not necessarily." Saying that, Zeng Zhixian changed the words: "That's it, what are we talking about, but it's just nothing." I have something to tell you, I heard that your second sister-in-law, her mother's family is going to marry the prefect's family. ”

Yan Ran almost squirted out a sip of tea: "Miss, are you kidding, although the Zhou family is rich, they are only businessmen, how can they marry the prefect's family?" ”

"Naturally, it's not the son of the prefect, the prefect has a nephew, who is seventeen this year, lost his parents since he was a child, and was raised by the prefect. Although the prefect was just mediocre to him, he didn't burn him to eat, and he lacked clothes for him. I also studied for a few years, and now that I am older, I don't study anymore, but help the prefect take care of some chores. What is so unusual about such a person marrying the daughter of a wealthy merchant. ”

To put it bluntly, such a nephew, although he has the name of a nephew and young master, is just doing the business of a big housekeeper. But for the Zhou family, it is a good family business. not only climbed to the prefect, but also has a very good name.

"The eldest lady is not the same as before, and these chores are also here as soon as she opened her mouth." Yan Ran said to Zeng Zhixian after a short period of surprise. Zeng Zhixian held his chin with his hand: "At that time, I was in the boudoir, and there were people to help with everything, but now, it's different." ”

"The old lady would be very pleased if she knew that the eldest lady was like this." Speaking of Old Mrs. Zeng, Zeng Zhixian's eyes lowered, and then he raised his head: "Grandmother is very fortunate to be able to reach such a point for me." I was ashamed to think about the thoughts I had when I first returned home. ”

"Those thoughts, the old lady may not be unaware." Yanran's words were very firm, Zeng Zhixian smiled again, living to the age of Mrs. Zeng, after seeing so many things, how could she care about the thoughts of an orphan who lost her parents? After all, those thoughts are impossible to realize at all.

Yanran returned to Rong's house, and as soon as she got off the sedan chair, she saw Zhou come out, and Zhou's face was full of joy today. Yan Ran hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second sister-in-law, are you going out?" Zhou snorted: "My niece's marriage has been decided, and she will be hired in a few days. ”

Set? Yanran thought of what Zeng Zhixian said, and thought that it must be the pro, and said to the Zhou family: "I don't know which one to decide?" Congratulations first. ”

"Speaking of which, it is also my niece's fate, I went to Longhua Temple to burn incense that day, and I happened to meet the prefect's wife who took her daughter to burn incense there, and said a few words, when I sent the prefect's wife out, it happened that the prefect's nephew came to pick up the prefect's wife, just at a glance, it was right." Zhou said with his fingers, overjoyed. Yan Ran hurriedly congratulated, Zhou's sedan chair had come, and Zhou's sedan chair left.

The Zhou family and the prefect's family got married, if you can say it farther, it is to marry the eunuch in the palace, which is good news for the Zhou family and the second master Rong. Master Rong, it's a businessman. Yan Ran thought, bent her lips and smiled, and continued to walk inside, when she passed a corner, she saw that the bamboo planted in the corner seemed to be shaking, and there was a sound of talking inside, Yan Ran's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Qiulan had already raised her voice and asked, "Who's where?" The bamboo stopped shaking, and then continued to shake, and then Rong Yuzhi came out of it, and when he saw Yanran, he stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be the third sister-in-law, you came back from the Tongju Mansion?" ”

Yanran thought it was the maid who was talking there, but she didn't expect it to be Rong Yuzhi, but it was very strange, and she looked at Rong Yuzhi carefully before saying, "Sister-in-law thinks it's greedy and cold, hiding behind the bamboo?" It's just that you should also bring a maid, otherwise, it's not good to misunderstand. ”

Rong Yuzhi looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "Thank you for your concern, third sister-in-law, I originally let the maid stay here." As he spoke, a maid ran over, saw Yanran here, and hurriedly lowered her hand and said, "Third grandmother." ”

"Why are you going to run away from here?" Rong Yuzhi scolded the maid, and the maid had already said: "The eldest lady forgives her sins, but she ate a mouthful of watermelon at noon and ran away, eldest lady, I don't dare to eat watermelon in the future." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, and my sister-in-law doesn't need to be like this." Yan Ran knew that there was something strange here, but she still said softly. Rong Yu hummed, said goodbye, and left with the maid. Yan Ran glanced behind the bamboo, and led people away.

When Rong Yuzhi walked out, Yan Ran clearly saw that the back of the bamboo flashed, and it clearly flashed a skirt with moon white and light blue. Such a skirt looks so ordinary, I can't guess which maid it is. However, if Rong Yuzhi and the maid want to talk, they can say generously, why do they hide behind the bamboo? Could it be that Rong Yuzhi's hobbies are different from others? Thinking of the discussions she had heard from those aunts, she couldn't help but shudder.

No, Rong Yuzhi won't do this, it's because she thinks too much, and even if she really wants to have a different hobby, she is the eldest lady, which maid she likes, she can naturally call people into the room, how can she hide behind the bamboo and sneak around, and do something that people who can't find a place can do?

After Yanran walked for a while, another maid came out from behind the bamboo, she clenched a letter in her hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked to the courtyard where Aunt Zhu lived.

"Grandma, look at it, that maid, walk into Aunt Zhu's yard." This matter is so strange that even Yan Ran can't suppress her curiosity, so she asked the maid to stay there from afar, and report here when she sees someone coming out. I heard that it was Aunt Zhu's maid, Yan Ran felt even more strange, this matter is getting more and more rare.

"Miss, you said, the third grandmother bumped into me today, will it?" When she returned to the house, the maid spoke to Rong Yuzhi. Rong Yu glanced at her: "What are you afraid of, this matter is not afraid of people talking about it." ”

"However, Aunt Zhu said that it is better to be safe in this matter, otherwise it will be discovered by the master." The maid was only halfway through her words, and Rong Yuzhi slapped the table: "What if my father finds out?" Originally, I should have married, but my father had to recruit some kind of son-in-law, so he didn't dare to speak. ”

Saying that, Rong Yuzhi's tears came down, it's been two years, so that I can only see each other every half a year, and I can't stand the days when I can only write letters on weekdays. But my father just won't let go, and his family is an only son, counting on him to inherit the family as soon as possible, how can he agree to let him join his family? Seeing that Rong Yu's tears fell, the maid hurriedly brought a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and told her jokes, so it was easy to coax her.

"Grandma, today, the third grandmother found out." Aunt Zhu smiled when she heard the maid say this: "It's good to find it, I'm afraid your third grandmother won't find it." The maid replied: "But, aunt, if the third grandmother says to the master, when the time comes?" ”

The author has something to say: Emma, it feels like the bloody soul is burning.
