Chapter 17: The Arrival of the Allies (Free of Charge)
The old lady hurriedly said: "Chase her back!" ”
Everyone glanced at each other, no one had any intention of moving, and the eldest young master got up before he came back to his senses, "Oh, oh, I'll go." ”
The third lady Wei Qiuju stepped forward and grabbed the set of keys, "Sister-in-law is too impulsive, how big of a deal can she resign from the position of head of the house?" She said as she put the key in her arms, "I'll keep it for her first, it's troublesome to drop one." ”
Helian Rong clearly saw the joy of forbearance in Qiu Ju's eyes, and the others were not the slightest surprised by Wei Qiu Ju's actions, and they all had a look of "sure enough" on their faces. Wei Shaoyang glanced at Helian Rong, Helian Rong also happened to look at him, he hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head to the old lady and said: "Grandma, I'll take a look, the eldest brother may not be able to persuade the sister-in-law, you go to eat first, a misunderstanding is your own, don't disturb the whole family to worry." ”
The old lady's face kept falling, and when she heard Wei Shaoyang say this, she slapped her cane hard, glanced at Helian Rong and said, "One or two don't stop!" ”
Helian Rong smiled silently, stretched out his hand and planned to mix with the old lady, but the old lady withdrew her hand when she saw this, and waited for another girl to come over before letting it go, got up and walked to the dining room.
Helian Rong didn't care, let the Yan family, the Hu family, and the Yang family go first, and he followed behind, and when he arrived in the dining room, he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart when he saw the table full of dishes.
Yesterday there was a plate of green vegetables without parsley, and today even that plate was saved, and the parsley was chopped into pieces and evenly distributed in each plate.
Needless to say, this is what Wu ordered, she is the head of the house, and has absolute right to arrange the daily dishes.
Everyone's pace slowed down again, and Helian Rong's expression was still the same, with a faint smile, and he didn't seem to be the slightest annoyed. The third lady Yang half-hooked the corners of her mouth, and there was a bit of triumph in her eyes, "What do you say?" Even if the second young grandmother poured tea and admitted her mistake today, the eldest young grandmother didn't plan to turn this page at all! ”
The old lady's expression became embarrassed because of this, and the eldest lady Yan said lightly: "Shaozhen, don't add fuel to the fire!" ”
Yang pursed his lips, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and he stretched out his hand to pull the fourth young master, "Old lady, eldest sister, what about the four young people's bodies, how can you eat these things every day?" I'll go back and make some more for him. With that, he dragged the fourth young master away.
Wei Qiuju tiptoed and glanced at the table, the corners of her mouth twitched, "I don't want to eat either, I ...... Go and see my sister-in-law......"
One after another, people retreated, and the remaining second lady, fourth lady and Miss Biao all looked at the old lady and Helian Rong, the old lady was a little uncomfortable, broke away from the girl's hand, turned around and walked out of the hall, and said angrily as she walked: "You guys make trouble by yourself, I don't care!" ”
Seeing this, Hu Shi had a little worry on his face, and Helian Rong handed over a reassuring smile and said to everyone: "I won't eat it either." With that, he walked out with Biliu.
Back at Tingyuxuan, Helian Rong took Biliu to a side room where his dowry was stored. Twelve large boxes, except for two boxes of silk jewelry rewarded by the lord of Yunxia, the remaining ten boxes were brought from Xiyue. There were the same locks hanging on the ten boxes, Helian Rong took out a key hanging around his neck, opened a box, saw the contents of the box, and Bi Liu, who had been silent for a night, finally said curiously: "What is this?" ”
Helian Rong had a hard time answering her question.
These ten boxes were all hand-packed by her county king's father, and the things in them were also strange, and everything her father found useful was all packed.
For example, this box of straw paper, he was afraid that Helian Rong would not be used to Yun Xia, so he filled a box full of her, Helian Rong vaguely remembered that he seemed to refuse at the beginning, but obviously, her father didn't listen.
Omitting the explanation procedure, Helian closed the box and opened another box.
Umbrellas in the West, cushions in the West, dried fruits in the West, and a small wheelbarrow in the West.
Looking at Bi Liu's surprised look, Helian Rong smiled and closed the box, she had been wondering what her father's intentions were, and why this kind of thing would appear in the dowry!
Open another one, which is filled with nanmu boxes of different sizes, Helian Rong picked the top two boxes, one box is full of gold and silver jewelry, and the other box is full of velvet to protect one of the mirrors in the box from shock.
The mirror was no more than the size of a palm, with a silver carved chassis and a smooth copper mirror surface without a single scratch, so delicate that it was unforgettable at first sight. Seeing this mirror, Helian Rong was slightly surprised. This is the relic of her "biological mother", who is usually taken away by her father as a baby, and her current stepmother has expressed her desire many times, but she has been refused, but she didn't expect it to be given to her now.
Helian Rong was stunned for a moment before closing the lid, putting it back in the big box, turning around and opening the next box.
Finally found it. The box was full of good dry goods, Helian Rong carefully took two bird's nests and handed them to Biliu, "Go and stew this, and then bring it to each room, just say that everyone is tired tonight and didn't eat well, and I will make amends." ”
Biliu took the thing and hesitated for a moment, "...... the young grandmother over there"
Helian Rong raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, just glanced at Bi Liu, Bi Liu understood what he meant, hurriedly answered, and walked out of the door with his things.
Helian Rong continued to check her box, found the box containing new clothes, picked out a few sets of clothes, thought about it, took out the jewelry box that had just been put back, and relocked the box.
After a while, Biliu came over and said that the bird's nest was stewed, served a bowl to Helian Rong, and went to each room to deliver something. Helian Rong hadn't finished eating this bowl of bird's nest yet, and a second-class girl in green ran in with a panicked expression, "Young grandma, young grandma Han is here again!" ”
Before her words fell, Qian Jinbao's dissatisfied voice came from outside the door, "What do you mean 'again'?" ”
The little girl exclaimed, and hurriedly hid behind the door, Qian Jinbao swaggered in, and smiled at Helian Rong: "I heard, aren't you bad, learn some skills from me." ”
Helian Rong sneered, although she was also mad, but she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and there was an essential difference between it and Qian Jinbao's nature.
"Mrs. Han, you ......"
"What do you call me?" Qian Jinbao was just about to sit down, but when he heard Helian Rong's name, he jumped up again, "Didn't you ask you to call me by my name, why are you so outside, Lianrong?" ”
Helian Rong was speechless, "My surname is Helian, my name is Rong, not my surname is Lianrong." ”
"I know." Qian Jinbao waved his hand absently, "That's what you call it." ”
Helian Rong continued to be speechless, and it took a long time to say, "Han Sen found it?" ”
"Hmm." Qian Jinbao looked at the furnishings in the room and said absentmindedly: "I have been in peace all day, and I ran away again just now." ”
Helian Rong jumped up and retreated towards the door, "You don't want to kidnap me again!" ”
"Eh, eh......" Qian Jinbao pulled her back, "I came to see you this time, how about it?" Scared the hell out of them yesterday, didn't you? That's right, I'd rather pinch them than let them pinch you! ”
In fact, Helian Rong didn't want to pinch anyone, she just wanted to live a stable life, but now she understands that the premise of stability is to protect herself.
Qian Jinbao said again, "Why don't I tell my brother and send you a few too." ”
Helian Rong was stunned for a moment, "Send what?" ”
Qian Jinbao gestured to the door with his chin, "Bodyguards, save them from revenge in the future." ”
"No...... No need......" Helian Rong was a little embarrassed when she thought that she was followed by four tattooed brothers when she appeared, but she was a little curious, "What does your brother do?" "Can you send bodyguards at any time?
Qian Jinbao raised his head slightly and said proudly: "All the bodyguards and thugs in Yunning City are ruffians, and they all listen to my eldest brother." ”
Helian Rong was speechless, no wonder the old bustard of Hehuan Pavilion glared at Qian Jinbao and didn't move, it turned out that her eldest brother was a gangster in Yunning City.
"Then how did you marry into the Han family?"
The corners of Qian Jinbao's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a smile in his eyes, "This is thanks to Wei Shaoyun, he made a bet with Han Sen to let him provoke me, and then I asked my eldest brother to go to Han Mansion to propose." ”
This one...... Is it considered that Shaoyun has also been a matchmaker? "And then they said yes?"
"Do they dare to say yes!" Qian Jinbao used his hand as a knife, "It was Han Sen who provoked me before, and I have always been a woman from a good family." ”
"Hah...... Yes, yes, yes. Helian Rong hurriedly changed his words under Qian Jinbao's forced gaze, but the corners of his mouth always wanted to turn up, and he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
"Besides......" Qian Jinbao pouted, "Although my father-in-law is a prefect, there are some things that cannot be mediated without my eldest brother." ”
Helian Rong was slightly embarrassed, is this a disguised harmony, in order to seek sincere cooperation between the two sides?
"By the way," Qian Jinbao gossiped, "you made a threat yesterday, how did they react today?" ”
"Hmm...... It's nothing ...... "In the end, it's still a family matter, Helian Rong doesn't want to reveal too much." But before she finished her words, one of the women who followed Qian Jinbao walked in, also full of gossip, and whispered to Qian Jinbao, Qian Jinbao laughed when she heard it, "It turns out that the panel face also learns to lose her temper, she doesn't be in charge, there are many people rushing to do it!" ”
Helian Rong frowned, "Panel face? ”
"It's your sister-in-law!"
Helian Rong was speechless and speechless, it turned out that the family had already sent a secret agent out to inquire.
"Eh, lotus paste." Qian Jinbao patted her on the shoulder, "I was worried that you would be bullied by them to the end, but now I can be relieved." ”
Helian Rong: ......
When did her relationship with Qian Jinbao get so good? It seems that yesterday she was clamoring to strip her naked and go to the streets.
"Actually, the two of us are the same life, the husbands are all like that, and the mother-in-law's family are all domineering, if you don't fight for yourself, then you really should die."
Listening to Qian Jinbao's sudden exclamation, Helian Rong was stunned for a moment, and began to feel that this Mrs. Qian might not be as unreasonable as she seemed......
"By the way, what about the girl they gave you? Call it out and take a look. ”
Helian Rong then remembered that he hadn't seen Bi Tao since he came back just now, but ......
"What do you think she's doing?"
"Of course, I'm going to help you cook her!"
Looking at Qian Jinbao's natural appearance, Helian Rong laughed dryly, thinking about whether to retract the idea he had just made.
She ...... Let the old lady find it. ”
Qian Jinbao pouted, "Be careful, you must teach her bad tricks!" ”
Helian Rong nodded curtly, and Qian Jinbao said again: "Eh! I'll arrest Han Sen again tomorrow, you go with me, catch Wei Shaoyun back, and treat him well!" ”
