Chapter 59: The Fifteenth Month

Qi Ruyan is a smart person, and quickly changed his attitude, and cooperated with Yang Ruyuan to clarify that the matter of the private outer room was a rumor, and by the way, he smeared a wave of Aunt Xue and asked Zhou Jingrong for some benefits.

Qi Ruyan picked a day when Zhou Jingrong and Fu Yunshen returned to Zhou Mansion to visit relatives, and scolded Aunt Xue for being uneasy and kind, instigating her to be a concubine, and spreading the matter, not to mention the reputation of her benefactor Yang Ruyuan, and almost implicated Fu Yunshen and other students who were about to participate in the township examination.

Aunt Xue has always been a gentle and petty interpretation flower in front of Master Zhou, she didn't dare to scold Qi Ruyan because of Master Zhou's presence, and showed her mean and vicious side, she could only weakly explain a few words, how could she be able to defeat Qi Ruyan, who didn't care about it, and was speechless.

Qi Ruyan scolded and turned around and left, regardless of Aunt Xue.

She is not stupid, combined with Aunt Xue and Zhou Jingrong looking for her before and after, two completely different words, you know that there is a discord between them.

And this matter is so coincidental, Aunt Xue's idea finally implicated Zhou Jingrong's husband.

It seems that what Aunt Xue said about being good for her is an excuse at all, she was just used by Aunt Xue as a target for the house fight, of course she has to scold her to relieve her anger.

Zhou Jingrong took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, giving full play to the ability of the original master to make trouble in his memory, crying and making trouble, accusing Aunt Xue.

"Auntie, if I do something bad and disgust you, you treat me well, how can you harm my husband's future? How do you make my in-laws think of me? Dad, you have to call the shots for your daughter! ”

Aunt Xue has always been exquisite, not leaking, and used to being pitiful, how could Zhou Jingrong smear her, and immediately shouted to Master Zhou with rain: "Master, the concubine has never had any harmful thoughts!" The concubine just hit it off at first sight with the girl and became friends, and talked with her about the interesting things about life in the house. Where would the concubine have thought that Miss Qi would have such a mind because she envied the life of the concubine, and used such terrible means to force Mr. Yang to comply. What is Miss Qi's behavior, how can it be influenced by the concubine, the concubine really doesn't know why she splashed this dirty water on the concubine's body, the concubine is wronged! ”

Aunt Xue's explanation dispelled Master Zhou's suspicions about her.

It was Aunt Xue who asked Qi Ruyan to be Yang Ruyuan's concubine, and it was just gossip between women, who would have thought that this matter would involve Fu Yunshen's future?

Master Zhou didn't think that Aunt Xue could think of these twists and turns, and the Fu and Zhou families were in-laws, not to mention that one was prosperous and the other was lost, but also broke bones and tendons, what reason did she have to do this?

It must be that Qi Ruyan is thinking about the left, and when she saw Aunt Xue's happy life, she wanted to follow suit, and even threatened Yang Ruyuan. It's just that I didn't expect that one ring after another, unexpectedly affected Fu Yunshen.

Although Master Zhou did not suspect Aunt Xue's sinister intentions, this matter was caused by her after all. If she hadn't befriended Qi Ruyan and didn't show off in front of her, which made her think that she shouldn't have been, how could she be involved in so many things?

But if Aunt Xue has enough brains and thinks of the connection, she will not say so much to Qi Ruyan without holding back, and the reaction is to persuade her when she has bad thoughts.

So in the eyes of Master Zhou, although Aunt Xue was unintentional, she couldn't hide the fact that she was stupid, so Master Zhou's perception of her unconsciously deteriorated.

Master Zhou didn't want to be restless at home, so he could only reconcile it, and said to Aunt Xue: "You will stay in the house honestly in the future, if you are idle, copy more Buddhist scriptures and meditate, don't go out to make friends with those who are not careful!" ”

Master Zhou meant to ban Aunt Xue's feet and prevent her from leaving the house. Although the punishment was not heavy, it was expected by Zhou Jingrong.

Zhou Jingrong didn't expect Master Zhou to be separated from Aunt Xue immediately, but this kind of thing is like a wolf, but there are two of them, but they can't be repeated and four.

It has already happened that Shopkeeper Chen inexplicably targeted Zhou Jingrong, and Aunt Xue and Shopkeeper Chen are old friends, plus this time Qi Ruyan framed Yang Ruyuan's private outer room indirectly affected Fu Yunshen, and there is the shadow of Aunt Xue's fueling the troubles, if there is another such "coincidence", how can Master Zhou still believe in covering her.

Zhou Jingrong accepted it when she saw it, but Aunt Xue was not satisfied.

She moved out of Zhou Jingshu's marriage, and begged Master Zhou with a motherly look: "Shu Niang is almost sixteen, and when she looks at others, the concubine always has to go out and walk around." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled in her heart, she was worried about how to block Aunt Xue, so she sent it to the door by herself.

Without waiting for Master Zhou to express his position, Zhou Jingrong frowned dissatisfiedly and said: "Auntie don't worry, although there is no housemother in the Zhou Mansion, Sister Shu's marriage has her own father." Besides, as the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, and I, as the eldest sister, will also take care of this matter for my sister. ”

Zhou Jingrong almost didn't say that Aunt Xue was just a concubine, in what capacity did she go out to make friends with the ladies of various families, and she was not afraid of being laughed at!

Aunt Xue was angry by Zhou Jingrong's words.

As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you care about something, and Aunt Xue's sore foot is an identity problem. Zhou Mansion obviously has no housewife, she is the only concubine, and even in charge of the back house, but she does not have an upright identity.

Every time she thinks of this, Aunt Xue will hate Zhou Jingrong and her mother who died early, and even complain about Master Zhou.

In order to make a promise to his wife before his death, he decided not to marry his stepfamily, let alone support his concubine as his wife, just to ensure Zhou Jingrong's absolute identity as the eldest daughter, and not to make her embarrassed because of her stepmother!

Zhou Jingrong saw the resentment in Aunt Xue's eyes, snickered at the success of adding a block to her, and then hit her without a trace: "Since Sister Shu has reached the age of marriage, Aunt Shu should also take the trouble to teach her some rules for serving her mother-in-law." My mother is gone, no one taught me this, and I made a lot of jokes when I first entered my mother-in-law's house. Fortunately, my husband does not blame me, otherwise I would have been abandoned. ”

Zhou Jingrong said, looking at Fu Yunshen gratefully, and Fu Yunshen looked at her affectionately.

Zhou Jingrong just reminded Aunt Xue with her own experience, but Master Zhou was shocked when she heard it.

Zhou Jingrong's biological mother died early, so naturally she would not teach her this. Master Zhou is not only busy with business, but also because he is a father, he can't talk to his daughter about many things.

He thought that Aunt Xue would teach her daughter instead of him, but Aunt Xue didn't teach anything? Then his Rong Niang first entered her mother-in-law's house, but she didn't suffer a lot, right?

Aunt Xue was also shocked by Zhou Jingrong's secret accusation, she didn't expect that the stupid Zhou Jingrong not only became sharp-toothed, but also secretly gave her eye medicine?

Aunt Xue originally wanted to defend herself, but when Master Zhou looked at it, the cruelty in her eyes frightened her heart, and she didn't dare to say anything.

The more Master Zhou thought about it, the more he felt that Aunt Xue was not responsible, and the more guilty he felt about Zhou Jingrong, thinking about how to compensate him.

Master Zhou thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be nothing to give Zhou Jingrong except for the family business, so he said: "You have taken care of the dowry shop very well, and all the crises encountered have been lifted one by one, Dad believes in your ability and will give you a few more shops." ”

Master Zhou saw Zhou Jingrong's ability and thought that she could take care of the Zhou family. Since this is the case, then take over the business as soon as possible, while he is still there, she can slowly take over the same, saving herself from being in a hurry in the future.

But instead of being grateful, Zhou Jingrong looked disgusted and refused: "Dad, my shops have not yet recovered from the blow of Shopkeeper Chen, and the auction house is also very busy, so I really don't have the extra energy to take on other shops." ”

Master Zhou couldn't see that Zhou Jingrong was too lazy to take care of the business, after all, she could say the words of returning the dowry in order not to shop at the beginning.

So Master Zhou didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, and directly took the contract, assigned several shops to her name, and called the steward to hand over on the spot.

In order to appease Zhou Jingrong, Master Zhou also gave her a large sum of silver as compensation for the losses suffered by the shopkeeper Chen before.

When Zhou Jingrong's shop had difficulty in capital turnover, Master Zhou prepared the silver and waited for her to ask for money. Who knew that she quietly raised money and sold the barren mountain that no one wanted and was worthless, which made Master Zhou feel relieved and a little sad that he was not needed.

So, Master Zhou took advantage of this moment to give her the money, and finally felt at ease.

Although Zhou Jingrong resisted the shop, because doing business was really tiring. But there are two fathers and men who are willing to give her money to spend and are so generous, which can be regarded as letting her enjoy the feeling of being at the peak of her life.

Master Zhou's behavior of giving Zhou Jingrong a shop has deeply stimulated Aunt Xue, but Master Zhou's next words made her almost vomit blood.

Master Zhou told Zhou Jingrong: "Rong Niang, you have to pay more attention to Shu Niang's marriage. ”

Zhou Jingrong responded obediently: "Dad, don't worry, although Sister Shu was born to my aunt, in the end she and I are sisters, I will definitely find a good family for her!" ”

Aunt Xue had a big alarm bell in her heart, Zhou Jingshu obviously had her mother-in-law, why did she let Zhou Jingrong handle the marriage?

She looked at Zhou Jingrong with sharp eyes, no matter how she looked at the smile on her face, she felt ill-intentioned, and no matter how she heard the words "good family affairs", she felt panicked.

Will Zhou Jingrong be kind enough to plan for Zhou Jingshu's future? It's simply impossible! Shu Niang fell into her hands, how could she still be good?

Aunt Xue wanted to loudly refute Master Zhou's decision and discredit Zhou Jingrong's intentions, but Master Zhou was already angry and estranged from her, and she didn't dare to say more and be wrong. She has always been able to hide her expression, but now her face is already anxious and almost unbearable.

When Zhou Jingrong was leaving, he avoided Master Zhou and said meaningfully to Aunt Xue: "Auntie, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and I hope that my aunt will do it herself." ”

Aunt Xue wasn't sure if Zhou Jingrong knew anything, and she wasn't sure if she had any evidence in her hand, and because she could handle Zhou Jingshu's marriage in a few words, she felt tormented in her heart, resentment and panic flourished, gritting her teeth with resentment but not daring to say more, the look on her face was blue and white, so wonderful.

Out of Zhou's mansion, Fu Yunshen saw Zhou Jingrong's refreshed face, and looked at her dotingly: "Feel comfortable?" ”

Zhou Jingrong snorted lightly: "It's just that she calculates me and the Zhou family's property, but she dares to calculate you, she can't bear it!" She is the first year of junior high school, I am the fifteenth, if she dares to touch you, I will pinch her daughter, and see if she dares to bite people in the future! ”

The smile on Fu Yunshen's face deepened, and his heart seemed to be poured with honey, blooming small flowers that exuded a sweet smell, beautiful.

His countenance is supporting him!
