The day after Lin Han's apprenticeship, he went to Qingshan Academy.

Lin Ruan personally sent him to the academy, and after taking care of the people in charge of food and lodging in the academy, he prepared to leave.

Lin Han grabbed her, glanced at Xiao Jingchen coldly, and then dragged Lin Ruan to the corner, and whispered: "You stay away from that Xiao Jingchen, you haven't decided to marry yet, you have to be measured!" ”

Lin Ruan stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead: "Put your mind to study, you don't care about my sister's affairs, you delay your study, see if I don't clean you up!" ”

Lin Han snorted: "You don't have to worry about reading, anyway, what I promised you will definitely be done." It's you, don't be deceived by Xiao Jingchen! ”

Lin Ruan rubbed his hair helplessly: "Boy, you have to have a little conscience to be a man, the matter of your enrollment is still the relationship of the entrusted family." ”

Lin Han was stunned, and turned his head into the academy angrily.

Fucheng's Xunwei Ji will open in two days, and Lin Ruan will go to the store to see the situation.

I have to say that Qian Dong's efficiency is really speechless, because of his rich experience, the errands he does are much more secure than Yang San'er. From the location of the store to all the facilities in the store, including the way to deliver the vegetables and the manpower needed in the store, etc., all were properly arranged, and she didn't need to worry about it at all.

Lin Ruan was very satisfied, and praised repeatedly: "Go back and give you a raise!" ”

Qian Dong smiled and said, "Thank you county lord." ”

When I returned to the mansion from the store, I saw a carriage waiting in front of the mansion, and the people in the carriage immediately greeted Lin Ruan and Xiao Jingchen as soon as they saw Lin Ruan and Xiao Jingchen coming back.

It is Wei Manyin's mother, Mrs. Wei, Liu.

As soon as Mrs. Wei arrived in front of the two, she immediately saluted: "I have seen Lord Xiao, and I have seen the county lord of Youning." ”

Xiao Jingchen has always been nothing more concedent to ordinary people, and to those he doesn't like, it is even colder, Mrs. Wei saw that he didn't react at all, and her heart was worried.

Lin Ruan smiled politely: "Who is this lady?" ”

Mrs. Wei hurriedly said: "Back to the county lord, I am Manyin's mother, a few days ago, Manyin inappropriately said and acted in the county lord's mansion, and collided with the prince and the county lord, thank you for the generosity of the prince and the county lord, and don't care about her in general." The child was timid, and when she came home, she was sick, and she refused to tell her anything, and did not tell me secretly until this morning. After I learned about it, I immediately rushed to apologize to the county lord, Manyin has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and her words and deeds are sometimes inappropriate, and please don't take them to heart. In the future, I will strictly discipline her, and I will not let her disturb the peace of the county lord again, nor will I have any inappropriate words and deeds. ”

Mrs. Wei's words were polite and measured, and her attitude was sincere, so that people couldn't find fault with it.

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Madame doesn't have to be like this, the matter has passed, and I won't engrave it." Miss Wei is simple and sincere, although there is some inappropriateness, but there is no malice. Madame, don't worry, neither I nor the prince have taken it to heart. ”

When Mrs. Wei saw Lin Ruan acting like this in front of Xiao Jingchen, she secretly wondered in her heart, could Xiao Jingchen be so angry that she even said those threatening words to Wei Manyin. This is the person who provokes the tip of people's hearts. "Thank you for the generosity of the prince and the county lord, I gave a little light gift to the county lord, and asked the county lord to appreciate his face."

Lin Ruan smiled: "Then thank you Mrs. Wei for your kindness." ”

asked people to bring the gifts brought by Mrs. Wei into the house, and Lin Ruan told Mrs. Wei that he still had something to do, so he turned around and entered the house.

Mrs. Wei waited here for a long time, and finally waited for someone, but she couldn't even enter the gate, and she felt unhappy in her heart.

Her sister is a noble concubine, and her husband's family is also prominent, in this Huaiyang Mansion, who doesn't respect her everywhere? As a result, Lin Ruan, a country girl, was treated so contemptuously.

But she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, no matter how prominent her husband's family was, she couldn't compare to Xiao Jingchen. In front of the emperor, people can be the only one except the crown prince, and other princes can't compare.

But this anger can't be in vain, especially the bastard words that Xiao Jingchen said, he actually threatened her daughter to let her daughter go to comfort the army! If these words were to be heard, her daughter's reputation would be ruined.

Originally, she never wanted to come, but she couldn't resist her husband, so she could only come unwillingly.

But she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

The more Madame Wei sat in the carriage on the way back, the more angry she became, and when she returned to the mansion, she entered the study, took out pen, ink and paper and began to write a letter to her sister Guifei, and made up her mind to sue Lin Ruan.

can't clean up Xiao Jingchen, is it possible that a country girl can't clean it up?

Two days later, Lin Ruan's Xunwei Ji Huaiyang Fucheng branch officially opened.

Mrs. He vigorously promoted Lin Ruan as when the Sweet Cottage opened, and even the Governor of He was assigned a task and brought a group of colleagues to the scene.

The opening day was unprecedented, and business was so good that the people in line were lined up until two days later.

After staying in Fucheng for a few days and making sure that Xunweiji didn't need her to worry about it at all, she waved her sleeves and returned to Qingzhou. Before leaving, she also asked Qian Dong to hurry up and open the next branch. After all, Huaiyang Mansion City is too big, where is one store enough. There is also a roast duck restaurant, and you have to hurry up.

After three days of rushing all the way, I returned to Qingzhou City.

Because Xiao Jingchen needed to go back to see the gold mine, Lin Ruan didn't stay in Qingzhou for long, said hello to Lin Zhong, and went back to Linjia Village.

As soon as she returned to her small courtyard, she heard Lu Cao gossip with her: "County Lord, the Zhou family wants to give Lin Tiezhu a concubine." ”

Lin Ruan was taken aback: "What is it?" Concubinage?! ”

Could it be that the confession that Aunt Zhou said that night was to take a concubine for Lin Tiezhu? What kind of explanation is this? Doesn't that make things worse?

Green Calyx nodded: "Yes, it is said that they are already optimistic about each other, it is a girl from the next village, it is said that she is very beautiful, and she is also a real person, the Zhou family is very satisfied, and they will be admitted to the door when the day comes." ”

Lin Ruan's brows furrowed: "What is Lin Tiezhu's reaction?" Should he go? ”

Lu Calyx shook his head: "It is said that Lin Tiezhu disagreed, but the Lin family agreed, and Zhou Lian'er has gone home to make trouble several times." If you want me to think that a white-eyed wolf like Zhou Lian'er has to have a concubine disgusting her from time to time, so that she knows what it means to be good or bad, otherwise she really thinks she is a card character. ”

Saying that, Lu Calyx whispered another thing and gossiped: "Zhou Lian'er is pregnant, more than three months. ”

Lin Ruan was shocked, if she hadn't remembered the day correctly, Lin Tiezhu and Zhou Lian'er would have been married for less than three months. "Whose child is it?"

Lu Calyx pursed her lips: "Lin Tiezhu's, when Zhou Lian'er found out about her pregnancy, Tiezhu Niang was going crazy." Because I heard that after the two got married, they didn't ...... I haven't done it. ”
