"The uncle and the second master are all separated, and Aunt Zhu is gone, so there are a lot fewer people." Yanran's words made Aunt Zhou disdainful again, sure enough, she was born as a maid, and she had to save this opening, don't you know that the rich businessmen in Yangzhou are proud of luxury and ashamed of frugality? But Aunt Zhou still said: "Grandma's meaning, the little ones know, but what kind of regulations will life be in the future, and I ask grandma to show me." ”

"Ten days!" Yan Ran's inexplicable words made Aunt Zhou stunned, and then Yan Ran said: "Within ten days, you will still live like this, and after ten days, then the sister-in-law and sister-in-law should move out, and you should discuss where the expenses should be saved." At that time, don't tell me that there is more money here and there is more expenses, and the expenses in this house are never allowed to be saved. ”

Yanran's words made Zhou Damiang and the others frown, the more expenses the master's family spends, the more people can make money from it, otherwise, who is a good citizen who doesn't do it, and wants to join the slaves, isn't it just to get more benefits?

Yan Ran smiled again, as if she didn't see Aunt Zhou's expression, this time people want to take advantage of the master's family, it is a common thing, and no one allows them not to fish. However, this is looking at yourself as a fool. There are half fewer people at the top, and the expenses of this family are still so large, where can I say this reason?

But Yan Ran didn't plan to expose it, this was not the time to expose it, Yan Ran just stood up: "That's it, you housekeepers are in charge of the elderly, and you naturally know what to do." The fourth grandmother came out yesterday, and you went to pay it back. ”

Seeing that Yanran was leaving, Aunt Zhou was a little anxious: "Grandma's words, the little ones are still a little confused, you should always show it, do you want to change people?" ”

"It turns out that Aunt Zhou doesn't want to be a housekeeper?" Yan Ran's words were understated, and Aunt Zhou was about to say that this was not the case, but Yan Ran said: "Since Aunt Zhou, you don't want to take care of the house, Sister-in-law Zhao, I see that you are a sharp tooth, so you will take over Aunt Zhou's affairs." ”

Aunt Zhou originally meant to coerce, and originally discussed with Zhao's sister-in-law, if Yanran wanted to change people, the two of them would disobey and come up with many ideas to stumble on Yanran. That's why I asked. Who knew that Yanran not only did not keep it, but also gave this position to Zhao's sister-in-law by the way.

Aunt Zhou looked at Sister-in-law Zhao's face was not good, Sister-in-law Zhao was overjoyed, she didn't expect to get such a big benefit, and hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you grandma for cultivation, but it's ......"

"What's the matter? Just now, I saw that you settled accounts quickly, and you were also articulate, and besides, you and Aunt Zhou are so good, she will definitely tell you where this family is. Yanran said to Sister-in-law Zhao with a smile, not glancing at Aunt Zhou out of the corner of her eyes. If you want to blackmail yourself, this means is too tender. Since this is the case, let's let you fight in the nest first, but we have to see if it is a silver kin, or your direct love relationship.

After Yanran finished speaking, Sister-in-law Zhao knew that this matter had been settled, if it weren't for Yanran still here, Sister-in-law Zhao would almost have to dance. kowtowed to Yanran respectfully, and Sister-in-law Zhao stood up.

Yan Ran looked at Aunt Zhou: "Aunt Zhou has been in charge of her home for so many years, and she has worked hard, so it's better to go back and rest now." Your business, no matter how big or small, must be told to Sister-in-law Zhao. You negotiate slowly, and I'll go back first. What's the matter, you go and talk to Lu's mother, or Qiulan can say it. ”

Aunt Zhou had everything in her heart, but she didn't dare to object, so she could only respectfully send Yanran out, and as soon as Yanran left, Aunt Zhou changed her face to Sister-in-law Zhao, and reached out and slapped her in the face: "You little hooves who have been stabbed by a thousand knives, you should have asked, why do you want me to ask?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhao knew that Aunt Zhou was uncomfortable, but she didn't expect her to beat herself, and Sister-in-law Zhao was not easy to mess with, although she didn't dare to slap her back, she also lowered her head and muttered: "This is set by the third grandmother, if you don't accept it, you go to the third grandmother and say it." I'm just taking your business. ”

Seeing that she was not convinced, Aunt Zhou's heart was even more angry, and she was about to tear Zhao's sister-in-law, their voices came out, and Yanran couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, look, it is really closer to silver.

Back in the house, Aunt Zheng was already waiting there, and she was relieved when she saw her daughter enter the door with a normal expression: "Oh, it's good that you weren't embarrassed by them." You don't know, the time your father took over the steward of the Hou Mansion, it was really a whole kung fu, and he stumbled on you under his feet, so he couldn't wait to find out your mistake. No matter what your father says, he is also a subordinate, which is inevitable. But when we left, Madame handed over the housekeeping to the young lady, and you don't know, there were many things in life during those days. Beside the young lady who lost, there were a few very capable old ladies who could be regarded as suppressing. ”

"Mother, don't worry, Grandma told me about these methods when she was alive." Although Yanran's grandmother told Yanran a story at that time, Yanran still had some understanding of what means would be used between people since she was a child.

Yan Ran's words did not make Aunt Zheng happy, but Aunt Zheng sighed instead: "It's because I know that I feel even more uneasy, you are my daughter." I want you to be safe and secure for the rest of your life, and you don't have to call so many people or put so much effort into it. Just a few people in front of me, a year's expenses are enough, and it will be smooth, no. ”

The more people in the family call, the more tired the family will be, how can Aunt Zheng not know this truth. Yanran saw that her mother was worried about herself, so she hugged her arm coquettishly: "Mother, you see, grandma and grandfather have been housekeepers and housekeepers all their lives, and they have lived so long." I, at most, will be in charge for more than ten years, and when my daughter-in-law enters the door, I will hand over all these things to her, and I will be an old lady. How good was then? ”

"You!" Aunt Zheng nodded her daughter's forehead, and then sighed: "Actually, I want to go back to the capital, I want you to live like that, but you don't want to, your father doesn't want to, and I can't resist you, but how can I, the heart of a mother, be willing to let you go so hard?" ”

"The hardships of the hardships are the masters, don't worry, mother, I, I will definitely do well in the future. Just wait and see. Yanran's comfort made Aunt Zheng smile a little, her daughter is no longer a child, and she no longer needs to worry about her, but she can't rest assured that it is her own heart to be a mother.

"Grandma, Miss Song has come to visit the eldest lady." After lunch, I talked with Aunt Zheng for a while, and Aunt Zheng went back home. Yanran took a nap for a while, and just asked the nurse to bring Brother Gen and play with him for a while. Qiulan came in to report that the person who sent the post had arrived.

"Invite Miss Song to the eldest lady's room and send a few snacks." Qiulan should be, but she still refuses to leave: "Grandma, if the eldest lady and Miss Song say it, what can I do?" ”

Rong Yuzhi can't be so stupid, right? That's her reputation, this reputation is all over, even if she has a dowry as big as the Rong family, at least in Yangzhou, she can't get married. At that time, even if Master Rong spoils her again, he can only marry her far away ruthlessly, or just shave her head and send her to be a sister-in-law. But these two paths, for Rong Yuzhi, are even more sad than killing her.

Yan Ran thought about it for a while, and handed over the child in her hand to the nurse, just to be safe, it is better to listen to it in person. In case Rong Yuzhi really wants to be stupid, it can be remedied.

Miss Song saw that the person in front of her was indeed Rong Yuzhi, although she didn't look like a sick person, but her expression was sluggish, and her face was stained with tears, and she was no longer as glamorous as before. Miss Song was still relieved, and said with a smile after a few greetings: "I don't know how it was spread outside, but it was said that you were not sick, but eloped with someone, and said conclusively that you eloped to Nanjing." From Yangzhou to Nanjing, no matter how fast it is, there are two days' road. Those people are really hateful. ”

He did elope, as soon as he thought of his sweetheart, Rong Yuzhi's eyes began to shine, even if he deceived himself, the sweetness when he spoke, the doting in his smile, it was true. Why is my father so ruthless and refuses to fulfill himself? By the way, if I told Miss Song that I had indeed eloped, but I was caught, then my father would have been forced to fulfill myself.

Rong Yuzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he reached out to grab Miss Song's hand: "Actually, what they said is also right, I do ......" Before he finished speaking, Yanran's voice came from outside the house: "Miss Song is here, speaking of which, because my sister-in-law suddenly fell ill that day, I didn't have time to talk to you, but I was lazy." ”

Although the Rong family only officially decided on the separation situation in the morning, it had already spread throughout Yangzhou City at this time. Miss Song naturally knew that Yanran was already the head of the Rong family at this moment, so she hurriedly got up and said, "The third grandmother is polite, Miss Rong and I have always been good friends." Besides, there were rumors outside, and I should have come to talk to her and let the rumors go away. ”

Yanran had already walked in, and when she saw Miss Song facing her, she hurriedly pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down: "Thank you, those rumors are really hateful." There are many maids around my sister-in-law, and I don't hide it from Miss Song that there are maids around my sister-in-law who are missing. I'm afraid it's an impostor. ”

The people in this family impersonate the owner for various reasons, although Miss Song has never seen it, she has heard a lot. Hearing Yan Ran's words, he nodded: "What I said is, in fact, it's not just people like us, let's talk about the Yang family, who is prominent on the ground in Yangzhou, a second-class official in Beijing, a few days ago, there was not a personal maid of the Yang family's aunt and wife, who impersonated her." If it is not seen by others, I am afraid that it will be another turmoil. ”

I heard that the Yang family already knew about it, and wrote to the prefect of Yangzhou, asking the prefect to arrest and bring cleanliness to the case. It's just that the sky is high and the sea is wide, who can find cleanliness? It's just another headless case.

The author has something to say: The biggest difference between Yanran's character setting and the character setting of the original texts is that she is a person who is not afraid of trouble, or in other words, when she was very young, her grandmother instilled in her that she was not afraid of trouble, and she was destined not to live that kind of quiet and quiet life.
