Mrs. Xu said for a long time, "Thank you girls for your thoughts, go back and tell your girls, it's just rain today, tomorrow I will send a sedan chair to pick up your girls, come and talk to my wife." ”

At the same time, he instructed, "Mama Lian, take some reward money for this mother to drink and eat." ”

When Qin's mother saw that the matter was done, she got up and retired.

Xu Wangqian's face was a little unsightly, he understood what Qin's mother said, this Jiang family girl returned the favor like this, she couldn't stand the Xu family's courtesy, but she was afraid that she had other ideas.

He opened the box, took out an incense stick, and put it in the censer.

Soon, wisps of light smoke drifted out, and a faint fragrance of tranquility filled the room.

His expression was a little calmer.

Old Madam Xu was also very pleased, so she said with a smile, "This fragrance is really not like the ones bought outside, but it is extremely comfortable to smell." It seems to have an extremely faint medicinal fragrance, which is very safe. ”

He sighed as he spoke, "That's it." I know what you mean, so be it, just hope it's not a waste. ”

Xu Wangqian frowned slightly.

Whether it is a void or not, it always has to be a gamble to count.

Qin's mother returned home and carefully told Jiang Ran.

The things were sent out, and Jiang Ran's heart became steady, Jiang Ran didn't say anything, only nodded to indicate that he understood.

Around noon, Mama Kong came over to pay the account.

Ran took the account book and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Jiang Ran, "You have been studying with me for a few days, you can take a look at this account book." ”

Jiang Ran glanced at it, and he had a rough idea in his heart.

Grandmother would deduct Evergreen Hall and Ran Yuan every month, leaving a few hundred taels of silver for personal use, and the rest of the silver was for Longevity Hall, which was quite rich.

It's only this month, and now because of Cheng Lanxin's set of heads, the expenses are a little stretched.

And now there are more than 400 pieces of silver in the account that has been handed over.

It seems that Mrs. Jiang took it out with pain, "There is no need to pursue the previous ones, just follow this account book and let Mother Qin and Zisu go to count it, and then, Mother will take the account and start housekeeping tomorrow." ”

Ran nodded. Then he looked at Ran Yun'er.

Ran Yun'er laughed on the side.

"Yun'er has also started to learn housekeeping!"

Ran Yun'er glanced at Jiang Ran, with a smile between her eyebrows, "At the beginning of last year, my grandmother asked my mother to start teaching me." ”

Ran's expression dimmed a little, she was ashamed of her daughter, Yun'er was the same age as her daughter, and she had already learned these early.

Ran felt guilty in her heart, and thought for a while that Xu Wangqian was eighteen years old, if the Xu family came to urge marriage, her Jiang family had no reason to refuse.

For a while, I thought that if Jiang Ran really wanted to marry into the Xu family, I was afraid that the right of this housekeeper had nothing to do with her.

When Ran was so cranky.

Jiang Ran looked at it all, "My mother thinks that her daughter is a little late in learning, don't worry, with her daughter's intelligence, it won't take long to be handy." ”

Ran Yun'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shameless, I've never seen such a change of boasting about myself." ”

Jiang Ran laughed and made a mess with her.

Ran's worries had vanished.

In the evening, Jiang Ran and Liu Yue talked about the matter in detail.

Early the next morning, the Xu family's carriage and horses were waiting at the Jiang family.

Jiang Ran brought Liu Yue and Bai Zhi.

This day was the first day of the Ran family's housekeeper, and Jiang Ran left Zi Su and Bai Wei to help the Ran family.

Xu is in the rainy season, the sky is still gloomy, Jiang Ran held an oil-paper umbrella.

The clothes he was wearing were made of purple brocade.

In that set of matching heads, a pair of sapphire earrings were selected, with a pair of beaded flowers, which looked elegant and generous.

After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Ran held up an oil-paper umbrella, followed by Liu Yue and Bai Zhi.

Mrs. Xu sat in the hall eating tea, the third girl, the fifth girl, and Liu Yuke sat on the side and laughed.

The three girls are accustomed to observing words and feelings, the five girls are soft-spoken and delicate, and Liu Yuke is the most eloquent, and she is happy for a while.

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall, and Liu Yuke smiled first, "It must be Miss Jiang who has arrived." ”

A few people looked over and saw Xu Wangqian coming.

In the smoke and rain, the humble son is more and more warm as jade.

Liu Yuke pouted, the eldest cousin is indeed good-looking, but when it comes to the future, she is not half as good as the second cousin, she knows that her grandmother loves the eldest cousin, so she smiled and quipped, "Cousin Qian has always been happy, and he came over today, but is Miss Injiang coming over today?" ”

Old Madam Xu looked at Xu Wangqian very much, although she didn't want to see the Jiang family, but because of Xu Wangqian, she also promoted Jiang Ran very much.

The Xu family took the road of the imperial examination, and the girl's family also hired Mr. Teach, that is, they moved back to Guangling, and they also rehired Mr. Teach, and they would go to class every day. Today, when Jiang Ran passed the house, Mrs. Xu specially took leave for the girls and asked them to stay at home to entertain guests.

Xu Wangqian just smiled and walked in.

The fifth girl smiled and said, "That's it, it's just right. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at her favorite grandson so attentive to this marriage, just because she wanted to cure this dumb disease.

Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she sighed secretly, "Qian'er come over and sit here." ”

Xu Wangqian just smiled gently, and then sat down next to Old Madam Xu.

At this time, the third girl said, "Look, this time Miss Jiang has arrived." ”

Everyone looked over and saw a girl in purple holding an oil-paper umbrella walking over slowly, misty and rainy, as if shrouded in a layer of demure and indifferent beauty.

Xu Wangqian's eyebrows moved, and his expression seemed to soften.

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Ran's dress and jewelry, Liu Yuke was coquettish first, "Grandmother is eccentric, she doesn't love Ke'er, such a good satin didn't even give it to the third sister and the fifth sister, but to Miss Jiang." ”

The third girl was afraid that her grandmother would blame her, so she said first, "My fifth sister and I got it first, this is what my grandmother left to Miss Jiang, and Sister Ke'er can also get it if she wants to." ”

Liu Yuke did get it, but it was slightly worse than Jiang Ran's body, she was born rich and noble, and she didn't care about these things outside her body, but her grandmother was more partial to Jiang Ran, that is to say, her grandmother cared more about her eldest cousin after all.

She was a little unhappy in her heart.

Old Madam Xu saw it in her eyes, she looked at Xu Wangqian kindly, "The elder and the younger are orderly, although Miss Jiang is young, she is the longest, you don't have to compare with her." Besides, Miss Jiang gave a gift in return. ”

As soon as the words spoke, several girls were silent.

It just so happened that Jiang Ran arrived.

Jiang Ran accepted the oil-paper umbrella, and the girl of the Xu family had already greeted her and took the oil-paper umbrella for Jiang Ran.

"The little girl has seen Mrs. Xu." Jiang Ran stepped forward and saluted slowly.

Then I greeted a few girls with a smile.

Mrs. Xu kindly instructed the girl, "Don't invite Miss Jiang to sit yet." ”

A girl with a smile on her eyebrows smiled and invited Jiang Ran to sit next to Mrs. Xu.

Old Madam Xu's gaze fell on Liu Yue behind Jiang Ran, "This one doesn't seem to have seen before." ”

Jiang Ran said with a smile, "This is the lady in charge of my yard." ”

It was lively again for a while, and Jiang Ranfu asked, "I just heard Yan Yan here, I don't know what I'm talking about?" ”
