Chapter 207: Apostasy
Onyx slightly guessed what Mrs. Ruan meant, smiled, opened the food box and put the tea in front of Mrs. Ruan, "Madame said this because the third young grandmother refused to stop the work in the store." Actually, Madame also approves of her continuing to be an errand in her heart, right? ”
At that time, Mrs. Ruan almost became the head of Rong Jinzhai's family, but because of that family rule, she gave up her Chen family's silk and satin business. For many years, the surface has not been obvious, but in fact, the people close to her don't know that the mood in her heart is difficult to settle.
Even the old lady Ruan in the inner courtyard was a dominant figure back then. And now that Li Jingshan has done what they couldn't do back then, only they know the taste in their hearts.
Mrs. Ruan gently plucked the tea leaves with the tea lid and said leisurely, "The errand in the store, the old man and the old lady will go to her, and I can't talk about it." Just by looking at the 'scarf', you know that this girl is not simple. ”
She saw Onyx's puzzled expression, and said with a faint smile: "Do you think the blood stains on the white towel are real?" ”
Mrs. Ruan sneered, "Last night, my son was so drunk by those guests that he couldn't even walk, how could I still have sex with her?" ”
Onyx was stunned, and then still puzzled, "However, the bag of chicken blood that Mrs. gave her is also intact." ”
"That's where Ahsan's genius comes in." Mrs. Ruan took a peanut and chewed it carefully before saying, "She knows that I will help her, although she accepts my affection, she doesn't want any handle to fall into my hands." As for that bit of blood, there are many ways to go. ”
Seeing that Onyx finally understood, Mrs. Ruan smiled and nodded her forehead, "So I said, it's still unknown whether it's good or not." You learn a little. ”

Li Jingshan walked to the old lady's front yard and sneezed inexplicably. She rubbed her nose, and said in her heart that she didn't know who was talking to her, or walked towards the main room of Old Madam Ruan.
Yuzhu, who was beside Mrs. Ruan, let her into the main hall, "Please ask the third young grandmother later, the old lady will come after changing her clothes." "Let the little girl watch the tea again.
Li Jingshan thanked and sat down, and sighed secretly. Fang Cai finally didn't suffer any trouble from her mother-in-law, but in front of this "mother-in-law", she was not very accurate.
This Mrs. Ruan is also a heroine, who also gave up the family business for her husband, but was in charge of the Ruan family's house for decades. Even now, although the inner house is already in charge of Mrs. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan still consults Mrs. Ruan about everything, and most of them are based on her will. This can be seen from the marriage between Ruan Mingyu and Li Jingshan.
At the beginning, because Ruan Mingyu insisted on marrying Li Jingshan, who refused to give up her career, she was the one who angrily asked the family staff to scold Ruan San; Later, she tried her best to defend Li Jingshan in front of Si Zhenfang and Li Zhiqing, and promised to let her marry into the Ruan family.
And Li Jingshan knew that if it weren't for the approval of this lady, those people in the Elders' Pavilion would have to stop her, and she might not be able to marry in so smoothly.
She lowered her head slightly, looked at the moire weaving carpet on the ground, and secretly wondered what kind of "meeting gift" this lady would give herself?
"The carpet is a Persian brocade, and the pattern is also a pattern from the Western Regions, so it looks strange."
The voice with majesty in the silence was shocked, which surprised Li Jingshan, who was devoted. She took advantage of the effort to bow her head, quickly gathered her mind, got up and saluted, "Daughter-in-law Sun has seen grandma." ”
Mrs. Ruan looked at Li Jingshan carefully again, and only after a while did she get up, "Ah Shan, you have been by the side of Jingbao Pavilion and Ah Yu for many years, you should know that the women of the Ruan family are not good. When she enters the Ruan family, she has to be a woman who has to be an errand outside, and it is even more difficult to be. ”
Li Jingshan looked up at Mrs. Ruan and smiled quietly, "Thank you grandma for mentioning it." Ah Shan feels okay, I don't want to be rich and famous, but I just want to waste it now that I have learned a skill. ”
Mrs. Ruan smiled and lit the brocade carpet on the ground with a sandalwood cane, "How many petals are there on this entwined lotus?" How many vines are used to connect with the surrounding flowers? ”
The lotus flowers on the Persian carpet are different from those in the Central Plains, with three or four layers of petals stacked on top of each other, and dozens of petals are difficult to see at a glance. Li Jingshan didn't want to respond: "There are four layers of forty-nine petals, which are connected to three vines with the flower on the left, and four vines are hooked out because of an extra bud on the right. ”
Mrs. Ruan nodded approvingly, "I have good eyesight, I eat this line of food." As soon as the words changed, he looked at her deeply and said, "But if you are not surnamed Li, you are a descendant of the Li family." Do you know the grievances between the Li family and the Ruan family? ”
Chang Yong, the third shopkeeper of Jingbao Pavilion back then, once mentioned to Li Jingshan the old things of the two families when he was in Minzhou. The Ruan family's family rule prohibiting their daughter-in-law from meddling in business is related to the Li family's grievances back then. But Li Jingshan didn't inquire about the specific content. Now that Mrs. Ruan asked, she had to say humbly: "I don't know." Please also ask grandma to make it clear. ”
"You should know that the family rules that prohibit women from the Ruan family from meddling in the jewelry business are because of Gu Kexin." Although many years have passed, Mrs. Nguyen still has a trace of resentment when she talks about it. "You shouldn't be familiar with this name, right? However, you may call her Li Kexin. ”
Li Jingshan thought about it carefully, and sure enough, she turned out such a name in the depths of Miss Li's memory, which was seen in the ancestral tablet when the Li family worshiped their ancestors. Among the many male names, the only female appears independent and abrupt. However, the patriarch and the elders were respectful to her incense, no less than others, and their words were full of reverence and admiration for her.
Seeing her calm face, Mrs. Ruan didn't deny it, but when she knew very well, she couldn't help but smile coldly: "Your Li family naturally worships her as a god." But in the eyes of our Ruan family, she is just a treacherous villain! ”
It turned out that the Ruan family saw Gu Kexin who was sold at Renyazi, and bought it to be a girl for the young master, but because the young master Ruan, who was not a few years older than her, Ruan Zai'an, loved her very much, and in the end, the Ruan family raised her as a child daughter-in-law.
That Gu Kexin is also promising, showing a very high talent for jewelry craftsmanship at a young age, and learned a lot of skills in the Ruan family's workshop. is also well-behaved and quiet, and is loved by the Ruan family. After Nguyen Zai An officially took over the Jingbao Pavilion, he tied the knot with her. The two were also once harmonious, and Gu Kexin also brought great benefits to the Ruan family because of his excellent craftsmanship.
Until one day, someone from the Li family came to the door and said that it was her own brother. It turned out that Gu Kexin was the young lady of the Li family, who was abducted and sold by a servant when she was young and lived on the street, before she was bought by the Ruan family. After the two hugged and cried, the Li family wanted to take her back to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.
At that time, it was a critical period for the Li family and the Ruan family to compete for access to the palace Si Zhenfang. As the main craftsman of the Ruan family's jewelry design, Gu Kexin plays a pivotal role.
Someone in the Ruan family suggested that it was not appropriate to let the young lady leave at this time. However, Ruan Zai'an and the old lady both thought that Gu Kexin grew up in the Ruan family, and it was better to be born and nurtured, and with Gu Kexin's personality, they would not betray the Ruan family. Besides, she and Ruan Zai'an have already married, so they should be regarded as Ruan's family.
But she didn't want Gu Kexin to return to the Li family, and after the news came out that she recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she suddenly heard from again. Even Ruan Zai'an personally came to inquire, but the Li family avoided it.
It wasn't until the last two big bosses of the shops displayed their entries in the palace that Ruan Zai'an found that his works were inferior to the Li family everywhere. And the works presented by the Li family clearly carry the shadow of Gu Kexin, and many of them are still her unique craftsmanship. The results can be imagined.
Ruan Zaian was young and vigorous at the time, he never expected such a result, and he couldn't accept the fact that his wife betrayed, and when he returned home, he was so angry that he vomited blood and couldn't afford to be seriously ill. Until he passed away, he never saw Gu Kexin again.
"Do you know why I know so much detail?" Mrs. Ruan looked at her deeply, "These are all told to me by my husband's grandmother, and she was Ruan Zai'an's younger sister-in-law back then. After Ruan Zai'an's death, his younger brother Nguyen Cheng Binh took over the Jingbao Pavilion business and married a lady eunuch. And before the old lady Chengping passed away, he set up that family rule: women who are in charge of the Treasure Pavilion are not allowed to set foot in the jewelry business! ”
In the face of Mrs. Ruan's beating, Li Jingshan was calm and deferential, as if she only listened to a story that had nothing to do with herself, she helped Mrs. Ruan to sit on the upper seat, and she held the bird's nest offered by the maid with both hands. There is not a single fault in the demeanor.
Mrs. Ruan was holding the bowl, but she was not in a hurry to use it, she looked at her and said, "Do you have nothing to say to your ancestors?" There is not a hint of defense? ”
Li Jingshan said lightly: "These old grievances have a long history. We and other descendants have not been on the scene, and we dare not speculate without going through it. Although I am the daughter of the Li family, I am already the daughter-in-law of the Ruan family, and no matter what I say, it is against my position and identity. Therefore, I dare not speak of the merits of our ancestors. ”
Mrs. Ruan glanced at her disdainfully, only as if she was weak and too cautious. But seeing Li Jingshan's voice, he smiled lightly: "Besides, when it comes to the situation, I am not the same as my ancestor now, and it will be difficult to escape the comments of future generations after a hundred years." Thinking about it this way, it is even more difficult to comment at will, so as not to be slapped in the face by the comments of future generations and grandchildren in the future. Please forgive me. ”
Mrs. Ruan put down the bowl in her hand and began to look at her granddaughter-in-law with admiration.
Li Jingshan said this very skillfully, and seemed to answer her question, but in fact, she made her position clear to herself, although she is the daughter of the Li family, and now she has married into the Ruan family, she will put the interests of the Ruan family first. In the eyes of the Li family, is he also a treacherous person?
It can be seen that the life path she wants to take is the same as that of the ancestor back then, but in the opposite direction. A hundred years from now, she is destined to be a controversial figure in both families. What moved Mrs. Ruan even more was that she knew the road ahead without hesitation, and her calm attitude of choosing good and stubborn, and letting others comment on her behind.
She looked at Li Jingshan and said slowly: "Child, I hope you will remember what you said today in the future." ”
"Grandma, don't worry, grandma will definitely be optimistic about this daughter-in-law." There was a clear laugh at the door, and Ruan Mingyu strode in.
