Chang Yan couldn't calm down even if she was sensible.

She shouted "Mother" with red eyes and helped the second wife.

The second wife came back to her senses and couldn't help but comfort her daughter: "It's okay, it's okay." I've been saving you for a dowry since you were born, and we're not going to lose to them in dowry. ”

Having said that, both of them knew it in their hearts. The third wife is not a shallow-eyed person, on the contrary, she is particularly distressed about her children because of the third master's inconspicuous background. Most of the dowry gifts brought by the Wen family will be used as a dowry for Chang Ke to take back to the Wen family.

Even if the second wife started to save a dowry for Chang Yan from the time she was born, with the Wen family's 10,000 taels of silver as the foundation, Chang Ke's dowry could not be too bad.

The mother and daughter did not speak again, and dispersed after dinner.

The second wife counted the accounts under the lamp, thinking about where else she could move some money for her daughter.

Chang Yan walked and walked, and unconsciously walked to the outside of the Spring Shade Garden.

The Spring Garden is brightly lit, and bursts of laughter like silver bells can be heard in the distance.

Once upon a time, she wanted to go to the Spring Shade Garden, who dared not hold her. But since she and the Huang family got engaged, the people in the third room didn't talk about it for the time being, that is, Miss Pan and others didn't treat her with the respect they used to have.

But is she to blame?

Miss Houfu, who only has a reputation like her, really talks about family affairs, who would ignore the dowry?

Could it be that she should also be like Chang Ke, marry a rich man in the countryside, and rely on a meritorious family like Jiangchuan Bofu to live?

She can't do it!

Chang Yan thought, for some reason tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Her personal maid shouted "Miss" worriedly.

Chang Yan shook her head and walked back, but she heard the servants talking on the other side of the flower wall.

"I didn't expect Miss Pan's temperament to be so lively, and she held a celebration banquet for Miss Four, celebrated Miss Four's engagement, and made a lot of lanterns with her own hands, which is really ingenious."

Someone said: "It can be seen that Miss Pan still hid her temperament in the past." ”

"After all, it's a guest house, and it's not as good as home." Another servant woman smiled and said, "Isn't there still a lady at home?" ”

Someone listened and said, "Then have you heard of it, Miss Wang Jiabiao said that she took 3,000 taels of silver to add a box to Miss Four, and also sent another shop." Really? ”

"Did you hear that, too?" The servants were all excited? "I've heard about it, too." It was Mama Shi next to Mrs. Tai who said it. There shouldn't be any fakes in that. ”

Someone said: "Think about it, when did Miss Wang Jiabiao not speak with a mouthful of spit and a nail?" It's more than the men in the family! ”

Someone laughed and said, "If I am Miss Wang Jiabiao?" I'm better than the guys! ”

"Can't you say that?" Someone retorted, "The Wang family's silver is not blown by the wind, even if it is to be sent?" That has to be what Miss Wang Jiabiao likes. "Talking? The man's tone paused slightly, as if he had made some movement, and then continued? "Didn't you say nothing? But the grandmother of the Shi family still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead? Ran to ask Mama Wang? What do you say, what kind of person is your young lady, and you don't understand the world? Are they all young ladies who are going out of the cabinet? Such favoritism? They are not afraid to offend people. ”

"What did Mama Wang say?" Everyone asked excitedly.

"It's not like you haven't dealt with Mama Wang. Is she the one who can suffer? The person who spoke before smiled and said, "The people immediately went back." It's not okay to say that one is not favoritous! The Shi family is a big family, presumably when Miss Shi came out of the cabinet, the three aunts and six uncles added more money than the other, and their young lady was not bad for silver, but could she suppress the relatives of the Shi family? More than they came out. This is the real offense! Can only go with the market? See how others give? Their young lady gave it anyway. Angry with a single mother? Flipped his sleeves and left. ”

The servants laughed, as if they were happy to see the servants of the Shi family lose face like this.

Chang Yan's face turned blue.

But those people didn't know that the wall had ears, and they were still talking nonsense.

"Speaking of which? The one in that room is also a smiling tiger, saying one thing and doing another. robbed the fourth master's marriage before, and now robbed the fourth lady's marriage. I don't know, I thought that what happened to their family, their sons and girls couldn't marry, as if they couldn't get married. This glory and wealth is so good? If you rob someone else, you can prosper your own? ”

Chang Yan's maid was startled when she heard this, and she was about to scold her when she took a few steps forward, but Chang Yan grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The maid didn't dare to do much, and hurriedly followed Chang Yan out of the verandah against the flower wall, but the discussion of those servants could still be heard.

"Don't you see it? We'll just wait. ”

"Poor people used to be decent people, but now they don't dare to walk around at home, and they don't know what the picture is?"

"Fortunately, Miss Fourth was a blessing in disguise. What is blessed is blessed. ”

"Look at the fourth aunt, he looks really good, and the third master is also respected. It's much better than that. When I came, I only knew how to look at the young lady with my eyes, and I didn't know how to talk to a few uncles. ”

Chang Yan's chest was tight, and she was sick for several days when she went back.

Chang Ke didn't even want to maintain face, and in front of someone who didn't know, he didn't even send a maid to ask. Chang Ning came to see Chang Yan in person, but didn't say anything, sat for a while and left.

Wang Xi and Miss Pan didn't go to visit the patient, the chicken fir mushroom sauce they made together last time was edible, and they liked it very much, and they didn't like it when they smelled bad. It just so happened that Miss Pan liked to eat, and this was the first time she had made such a successful food, so she was overjoyed and pulled Wang Xi every day to study how to make various sauces.

Wang Xi was so annoyed that as soon as Miss Pan came, she hid in the house and copied the scriptures, and asked Bai Guo to lead her to the kitchen.

Under the guidance of the Wang family's chef, Miss Pan successfully brewed a jar of kimchi, happily packed it in a glass bottle, and gave it away everywhere.

Bai Guo pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Wang Xi in private: "I don't know how many kimchi I can buy in that glass bottle." ”

"These are two different things!" Wang Xi copied the Buddhist scriptures sent to Shuzhong - the Wang family would go to Leshan Temple every year on the first day of October to worship Buddhist scriptures, set up a dojo, and donate sesame oil money.

This year, she didn't know if she could catch up, so she decided to copy out the Buddhist scriptures as soon as possible. If you can't catch up, let people take it back to Shuzhong.

"It's already extremely rare to have fun." Wang Xi said, the pen in his hand did not pause, and soon wrote a line silently.

Bai Guo sat next to her and helped her cut paper.

The little maid Anan ran over, took a lot of clear paper and said, "Miss, this is what the third wife asked me to bring over, saying that I asked Sister Bai Zhi to help me see these tricks, okay?" ”

During this time, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion fell into a series of happy events, and the second wife was busy with the affairs of Chang Ye in September, and the Huang family was busy with the hiring of the Huang family. In addition to being busy with Chang Ke's marriage, the third wife also went around buying a dowry for Chang Ke.

She didn't expect Chang Ke's marriage to be so good, she felt that the dowry she had saved for Chang Ke before was too small, and she was afraid that she would be looked down upon by the Wen family if she had less knowledge, so she borrowed Mama Wang from Wang Xi to help. As a result, with Wang Xi's acquiescence, Bai Guo and others began to help Chang Ke prepare for marriage.

Wang Xi nodded.

Anan ran to find Bai Zhi in a puff of smoke.

Wang Xi's heart itched.

She hadn't seen Chen Luo for several days, and Chen Luo said that she was going to the palace to attend Concubine Jiang's birthday banquet, and she didn't know what was going on? There is also Lu Ling, who said that she was left in the palace by Concubine Jiang, I don't know if there will be anything?

The young lady of the Tan family is about the same age as Lu Ling, but she is about to be engaged to the fourth prince. Lu Ling lives in the palace, will she also be pointed out to which prince?

The second prince and the fourth prince are all good-looking, including the third prince and the fifth prince, who are also better than ordinary people, I am afraid that Lu Ling will have a relationship with the fat sixth prince.

Wang Xi thought about it, and he couldn't sit still. She summoned another little maid, Assi, and asked her to hang a brass bell on the willow tree by the wall.

I just don't know if Chen Luo will receive it?

By the end of the unitary period, the sunset on the horizon had not completely dispersed, and Wang Xi had already packed up and stopped, just waiting for the little maid under the willow tree to reply. Who knew that she waited until the beginning of the year, and she was impatient enough to go to sleep, and the little maid ran over panting and said, "Someone is here from the willow tree." ”

Wang Xi hurriedly went over there.

Chen Luo actually sat on the willow tree this time, saw her coming, and said: "There is something wrong today, I just went home!" ”

There was a thick tiredness and indifference in his voice, as if Wang Xi was a stranger, and they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Wang Xi's heart was pounding, and he looked at Chen Luo anxiously.

Chen Luo looked indifferently into the distance, like a monk who was about to become an immortal.

"Chen Luo!" Wang Xi was very panicked and subconsciously shouted his full name.

Chen Luo lowered his head and looked at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi's eyes were very bright, like a pool of water under the moonlight, clear and shimmering.

Chen Luo suddenly remembered the eyes of his mother, who was standing on the dan mound, staring at his back when he walked out of the palace gate and turned around.

What is this?

Care?

Do they all care about him?

Chen Luo laughed self-deprecatingly.

The high eyebrows and the tiredness in his eyes reminded Wang Xi of the hopeless slaves of Tusi.

Why is this happening?

Wang Xi shouted "Chen Luo" again.

This time her voice was soft and fast, with a sense of distress and pity that she was not aware of.

Chen Luo raised his eyes and fell straight into Wang Xi's eyes.

Such as being surrounded by water.

It's soft and warm.

He suddenly wanted to speak.

"Do you know what happened at Concubine Jiang's birthday banquet?" Chen Luo said, he didn't need Wang Xi's answer, he just needed a listener, "Concubine Jiang didn't know whether she was threatened or helpless, she actually pulled the sleeve of the eldest prince and cried about the concubine who died early. ”

The biological mother of the eldest prince, after the emperor ascended the throne, was posthumously named "concubine".

Wang Xi was stunned.

"The emperor is even more ridiculous. treated everyone else as if he was a fool, and he also cried with the concubine. Chen Luo pursed the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold sneer, "I also followed Concubine Jiang's words and talked about the topic of establishing the prince." That means to follow the patriarchal law of the ancestors and make the eldest son the crown prince! ”
