Chapter 158: Interlude

"Who doesn't want to have more inheritance? However, it also depends on what kind of means are used. Yanran's words made Zeng Zhixian frown, and then Zeng Zhixian said: "I only learned a letter a while ago, the local prefect, will stay in office." ”

This is also a common thing, but the prefect of Yangzhou, there are many good and short things in the world, and it is almost impossible to stay in any term. Yanran couldn't help frowning, Zeng Zhixian was already nowing at the peony appreciation not far away: "I see, this second sister-in-law of your family is jumping up and down so badly, and she refuses to move out until now, but I'm afraid that she is also making wedding clothes for others." ”

This other person is the Zhou family. Yan Ran pressed her head with her hand, and then sighed: "I caught up, what should I do?" If you don't talk about me, just talk about you, and when you return to the capital, the Shi family will definitely have a lot to say. ”

Yes, in this life, how can people really be peaceful and happy without thinking about anything? Zeng Zhixian smiled lightly: "I remember that your husband is still in the capital, do you want me to send you a letter?" ”

Yanran took a sip of her, bowed her head and said nothing. Zeng Zhixian smiled, people live in the world, and trouble can only be solved, otherwise what should I do?

"That's all for the accounts in this capital!" The shopkeeper respectfully put the account book in front of Rong Qi, Rong Qi took the account book, looked at it and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Have you done all the gifts I asked you to do? ”

"As soon as the third master said, we prepared, an ivory mat, an agate ornament, and a box of various colored gems." The shopkeeper reported in turn. Rong Qi nodded, the old man in the palace had seen everything, and he only liked him.

"Third master, Uncle Cheng is here and said he wants to see you." Rong Qi hasn't finished his work here, and there is something going on there. Rong Qi's hand gestured in the air, and after thinking about it, he invited Cheng Ruiru in. Even if the two haven't seen each other for more than a year, Cheng Ruiru walked into the house, and Rong Qi got up to greet him: "Uncle Cheng, it's been a long time." ”

Cheng Ruiru, who was called by Uncle Cheng, was sour and bitter in his heart, and he could never go back in the past. But Cheng Ruiru still returned the salute: "Congratulations to Third Master Rong, who not only got this family business, but also added Ding imports." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Rong Qi invited Cheng Ruiru to sit down, as if he was really just a guest. Cheng Ruiru looked at Rong Qi's actions, and finally asked: "Between you and me, it is really, can it never be the same as before?" ”

"The events of the day, Uncle Cheng, you, said it first!" The brothers broke up, that is, Cheng Ruiru said it first.

"I regret it, Xiaorong, I really regret it. What if you marry Yanran? I was a loser to her after all. Cheng Ruiru's throat began to tighten, and she was burdened, these three words, how difficult it was to say them. I lost my favorite person and broke up with my best friend. But what is it that is returned? A home that is praised by everyone in the mouth of outsiders, but only I don't like it. Wife and concubine, how ironic are these four words?

The one who has Yanran's eyebrows and Yanran's eyes, but is not Yanran's concubine, can only make Cheng Ruiru realize more clearly that she has lost Yanran, this person, not her. It's not her who is haunted by herself.

"Uncle Cheng, if you really want to fix it, you will not mention her three words. She is my wife, the mother of my son, and she is not a person who can be mentioned by any person and say anything to live up to it. Rong Qi's words interrupted Cheng Ruiru's thoughts, Cheng Ruiru raised his head, his eyes were full of apologies: "I know, Xiaorong, I know, but ......"

"Nothing but the past is gone. Uncle Cheng, this truth, I think, you don't need me to remind you. "The past is gone, only oneself, still immersed in the past. Cheng Ruiru lowered his head, took the tea served by Rong Qi, and said nothing.

"The Cheng family has a beautiful concubine, and her eyebrows and eyes are like Qing, but she is just a cat and a tiger, and she is smiling and generous. Qing Xiu should be worried. Yanran opened the letter sent by Rong Qi, looked at the words on it, and couldn't help but smile. Everybody is moving forward, but if someone has to live in the past, it's just a joke.

"Grandma, the gift to Shifu has been prepared." Qiulan walked in, and Yanran folded the letter in her hand. Today is the day when Zeng Zhixian and his wife leave Yangzhou, and they want to rush to see them off. Yan Ran took someone out, and when she was about to get to the front, she met Zhou, Yan Ran nodded and smiled: "Hello second sister-in-law!" ”

Zhou glanced at Yan Ran and saw that the person behind him was holding a gift in his hand, so he said to Yan Ran: "Third aunt, this is the grandmother who is going to send the Tong Judge family?" It's really a big face, I'm just afraid of these people who are going to see them off, but the third aunt is a merchant, right? ”

Zhou's yin and yang weirdness, Yan Ran is used to it, and she is about to move forward with a shallow smile. Zhou said lightly behind his back: "Why don't you ask, where am I going?" ”

"The second sister-in-law must be going out too?" Since Zhou asked, Yan Ran also asked lazily, and Zhou smiled and said: "I, I'm going to the prefect's yamen, my niece from my mother's family, I'm happy!" ”

"Congratulations to the second sister-in-law, I hope that the niece of the second sister-in-law will not be said to be a great blessing when she is still in her belly, and she will collide with the people in this family." Yan Ran's words made Zhou's face change: "The third aunt is really bold, so the words of cursing people can be easily said." ”

"The second sister-in-law can do it, why can't I say it?" Yan Ran asked rhetorically, and said to Qiulan next to her: "Let's go, it's too late to go, it's a trouble for the boat to leave." Qiulan replied and hurriedly followed Yanran.

Zhou looked at Yanran's back, and his face began to change badly again, thinking that this was a win, phew, I don't see the coffin, who knows who won?

"Grandma, I heard that Aunt Zhou has been getting close to the second grandmother recently." Qiulan didn't whisper to Yanran until she got into the car. Yan Ran sighed and said, "This is also a common thing. ”

"Grandma, Aunt Zhou is different from others, she also promoted many people at the beginning, and there are inevitably a few confused people here, who are thinking of her kindness, and when the time comes, ......" Qiulan's worry only made Yanran smile: "You also know that those people are confused, thinking of her kindness, but they forget that all the favors are given by the master's family." ”

"Grandma!" Qiulan was a little anxious when she saw that Yanran didn't care about it at all: "Grandma, if it is anything else, but if someone has a black heart and puts something in the food, or it is not good for Brother Gen, then it will be too late for you to regret it, grandma." ”

Yanran patted Qiulan's hand: "You, you've been with me for two years, and you still can't hide it." Brother Gen'er's nurses and maids were all selected by me, not to mention Aunt Zhou, even if it was Aunt Zhu, she didn't go through this hand. Put something in the food, if they really have the guts, I will look up at them. ”

However, isn't it all sung like this in the play? Throw some crane top red or something into the food, and then bleed to death. Seeing that Qiulan was still blinking, Yanran reached out and flicked her forehead: "You, you really take those things in the drama seriously." Killing people should be so easy, and if you kill someone, you can run away casually and not be held accountable. Isn't the world chaotic? ”

"Isn't it all sung in the play, what kind of mandarin duck pot is there?" Yan Ran supported her chin with her hand: "I have also heard of the mandarin duck pot, but the old lady said, what kind of mandarin duck pot is this, very few people who can do it do it." Officials are also not allowed to do it. Otherwise, everyone has a mandarin duck pot, not to mention the common people, even if it is the Son of Heaven, they will not be able to sleep well. "Really? Qiulan had only heard it sung in the play, but she really didn't know that this mandarin duck pot was not something that could be obtained casually.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you say that I am not bad for you." Aunt Zhou looked at the mother-in-law in front of her and said very sincerely. This mother-in-law is in charge of the kitchen, and when she heard this, she waved her hand: "Old sister-in-law, we have also been friends for more than ten years, but if you want me to do this, I don't dare." ”

"It's just an idea of croton, put it aside a little bit, and send a few pieces of watermelon. It was a bad day, but it was just to let them run and let me take a breath. Aunt Zhou pushed the bag of things to Mrs. Wang's side again.

"I don't dare. Old sister-in-law, you think, this master has diarrhea and says that the food I cook is not good. Then do I want to be bad? Saying that, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up: "I heard that there is a Taoist woman surnamed Liu, and the runic water is extremely spiritual, you go and ask for one, so that the third grandmother will be sick, that is." If I don't have any money, my sister-in-law, I still have one or two. ”

Saying that Mrs. Wang was about to take out the silver from her waist, Aunt Zhou hurriedly stopped her: "Yes, yes, you have that little money in January, and it is not enough to chew and wrap, what to pay, I know, you go." Seeing that Aunt Zhou didn't let her put croton in the meal, Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and left.

All of them are white-eyed wolves, afraid of losing errands, and run faster than anything else. Aunt Zhou took the bag of croton, even if it was sprinkled into the well, it was just that everyone had diarrhea, how could the third grandmother only have diarrhea? No, we have to find another way.

It's really stupider than the other, I heard Aunt Zhou come to report that Mrs. Wang refused to listen to her. Zhou's anger almost smashed things, not only to put croton, but also to put other things. Zhou only hated that he had not studied pharmacology, and he couldn't match the drug that clashed, so he poisoned people to death. I hate that I don't want to listen to myself now, and I go to flatter Yanran.

"What do you want to do with those sideways? Even if you really drugged people to death, do you think you can't catch up with us? "Second Master Rong began to regret marrying the Zhou family, such a stupid person, why didn't he find out in the first place?

"I just can't swallow this breath, do you know what she said that day, if my Zhou family is ruined, she deserves it?" Second Master Rong smiled and patted his wife's shoulder: "Don't be angry, whoever will break the family first will know." I'll tell you, the day after tomorrow, there will be a good show. "Really? Zhou's eyes immediately lit up, and he pestered Rong Er Ye to ask, but Rong Er Ye refused to say, and the day after tomorrow, the show will be watched.

"You say, someone has come to redeem it?" Master Rong looked at the person who reported the news in disbelief, and the person who reported the news was already sweating in a hurry: "Yes, master, many people have come, and they also said that our family is black-hearted." ”

The author has something to say: The mandarin duck pot has a serious name, I remember a handful unearthed in an ancient tomb, that is, this side is poisonous wine, and that side is non-poisonous wine. In ancient times, professional killing skills, such as poison, medicine, and so on, were not accessible to ordinary people or even ordinary nobles, because the difference between ancient and modern times was that the monopoly of knowledge was far higher than that of modern times. Therefore, the colorless and tasteless poison was basically a myth in ancient times. Since poison is colored and smelly, it can only be covered with a strong taste. A veteran liar like Aunt Zhu who came out of the liar group only has a little bit of poison, and she has to use ginseng soup to cover up the taste.
