Zuo Xiangfu had no sleep all night.

The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was noisy overnight.

The next morning, Sheng Rujin got up early, she drank tea and rinsed her mouth, while listening to the nurse Zhang's colorful narration.

"Hey, eldest lady, don't you know, Qingxin Hall was in trouble yesterday. The old man shouted to fight and kill, and he had to draw his sword and cut his wife. The lady vomited blood, cried and cried out. The girl named Le'er was also very spicy, she just didn't leave, and said that if she didn't give money, she would go to see the official. How can this make her an official? When I saw the official master's reputation, it was ruined. ”

Sheng Rujin smiled.

"Alas, the master can't let people drive her away. The girl will not leave. When he took off his clothes, he sat on the ground, and no one dared to pull or touch it. Gee...... The girl who came out of the hook bar is ruthless. Who would dare to do such a thing? ”

Sheng Rujin smiled again.

The nurse Zhang said: "In the end, the old man had no choice, so he persuaded Miss Le'er to leave." Miss Le'er took the opportunity to blackmail the old man fifty taels, and then put on the clothes. If you put it on, you can't leave, you have to take a hundred taels to be willing. ”

"The master had no choice but to let the housekeeper take the money and send the girl away like a bodhisattva."

Sheng Rujin smiled: "Tsk, isn't it over if you give the money in the morning?" It has to cost fifty taels more. What is the origin of this happy girl, does the nurse know? ”

The nurse Zhang hesitated: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't tell the eldest lady about this dirty thing." The big girl hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, and the little girl's family is listening to this. ”

Sheng Rujin handed her a "you know" look: "Nurse, don't play dumb riddles." If I don't know what is going on in this house, how can I deal with it? ”

I have to say that all women in the world gossip the same. The nurse Zhang is no exception.

She immediately said: "Hey, this girl is the girl from the east side of the river." I heard that he has a hot temper on weekdays, and he dares to do anything, so he can let go. If many sons and brothers want to play new and exciting, they will look for her. ”

"That's why she dares to make such a fuss. But tsk...... I heard Miss Le'er say that the eldest lady came to her, isn't this stupid? found such a lowly woman, and the master's reputation was ruined. This fireworks willow field in the east of the river must have spread all over the ......"

Sheng Rujin smiled: "Yes." It seems that the little lady surnamed Chen that my father has taken a fancy to is also in the soup. ”

"Not really!" The nurse Zhang said: "As soon as this happens, the master will definitely not dare to go for a long time." But what's the matter, my God? How could Madame find such a woman......

The nurse Zhang was gloating and sighing.

Schadenfreude is naturally that the eldest lady Zhou has done something stupid. Alas, sighing, today's trouble, this matter has become the laughing stock of the entire Beijing official family.

Especially the eldest lady Zhou, I'm afraid this door can't be out.

Everyone would have thought that in order to please her husband, the Zhou family bought a lowly prostitute to serve in the house.

……

After Sheng Rujin listened to the bloody gossip in the house, Shi Shiran went to the private school. She now has a transcendent status in the private school, she understands all the lessons taught by Qu Fuzi, and she does her homework well.

Others, though, don't have it so easy. Sheng Rujin looked at Sheng Rulan and came to class with red and swollen eyes. Of course, she also saw Sheng Rulan's red palm.

Sheng Rulan saw Sheng Rujin looking at herself, and glared at her resentfully. The resentment in his eyes is so deep.

Sheng Rujin turned a blind eye to Sheng Rulan's resentment. In her previous life, Sheng Rulan lived a good life in the private school, because she was escorted to the Mingde Women's Society, and the eldest lady Zhou was particularly tolerant of her. And his life is too difficult, on the one hand, he has to be jealous of the eldest lady Zhou, and on the other hand, he has to cover up his talent.

Now the situation is reversed, but Sheng Rujin has no thoughts of revenge. In short, she didn't want to pay attention to the little girl's grievances. She had other important things to do.

Sheng Rujin dismissed school at noon and did not go home, but asked people to drive the carriage around a few times and arrive at a very quiet courtyard.

In the yard, Ling Niang was embroidering patterns in the yard. She saw Sheng Rujin coming, and quickly got up to greet her.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving your life." Ling Niang choked up and bowed.

She saw it all last night. Ever since Mama Feng locked her in the house, she knew that what Sheng Rujin said was true.

The eldest lady Zhou is not her benefactor, but wants to borrow her womb to give birth to a child.

It is conceivable that he was sent to Sheng Yuming's bed after being unconscious, and he could only consider himself unlucky when he conceived a child in the future. Then she became pregnant in October, and the child was born, and she would not grow up by her side.

And last night, in order to let her know the truth of the matter, Sheng Rujin also let her hear the ins and outs of the matter clearly in the firewood room next door to Qingxin Hall, and did not send her away until it was almost dawn.

Sheng Rujin helped Ling Niang up, looked at her young face, and sighed: "Ling Niang doesn't need to be polite. You're just going to live here. After embroidering the birthday picture of the pine crane, I will let you embroider the dance clothes for me. ”

Ling Niang immediately said: "This eldest lady can rest assured. Ling Niang will do her best. ”

She secretly swore that even if she was asked to give her flowers that were as beautiful as a lifetime, she would be willing.

Sheng Rujin smiled: "Your embroidery is the best in the world, in short, it will definitely come in handy one day in the future." ”

Ling Niang smiled bitterly and didn't answer. Her heart was small, and she didn't think about what she could do in the future.

Ling Niang asked, "What about the girl who replaced me......

She felt vaguely uneasy.

Sheng Rujin smiled slightly: "Don't worry." In your place is Miss Le'er. She has a pungent temperament, is bold, and is righteous. I told her about you. She took it all in one breath. And I've given enough money for her to say anything bad to us. ”

"In the future, no matter who asks, she will only say that the eldest lady gave her the silver and asked her to serve the left minister."

Ling Niang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's hard for Miss Le'er." ”

Sheng Rujin's expression was complicated: "Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers." Sometimes there are truly chivalrous people among the three religions and nine streams. Although Miss Le'er came from a humble background and was in the mud, she was a real heroine. ”

Ling Niang nodded.

Sheng Rujin told her not to go out easily these days. That's when I discussed with her about making dance clothes.

Ling Niang is very smart and smart. She asked, "What kind of dance did the eldest lady dance?" ”

Sheng Rujin said: "Sword dance." ”

Ling Niang thought about it and immediately said, "Then it's ...... simply."

She said so.

The more Sheng Rujin listened, the more happy he became. Ling Niang is too smart, she can see through a little, and she has her own unique opinions on clothes.

She simply gave full authority to Lingniang to help make her dance clothes. The fabrics and materials are all made by themselves, and they also give Ling Niang a handicraft fee.

Ling Niang refused.

Sheng Rujin said solemnly: "It's one thing for me to save you, and it's another thing for you to make clothes for me." If you are grateful for my kindness, do not betray me in the future, and do what is sorry for me. But if you are allowed to work, you will take what you ought to take. When you take the money and thank me for my kindness, you will naturally do your best. ”

"If you get a benefit from me that no one else can get, you will understand my goodness. If I coerce you to repay you for free, you may still feel indifferent for a while, but if it is a long time to come, you may feel resentful. Benefactors become enemies. ”

Ling Niang was convinced.

Sheng Rujin asked Qinglan to leave the silver, and told her not to go out these days. Ask the neighbors to help buy groceries and rice. If you have to go out, you have to dress up.

Ling Niang agreed. After this incident, she completely believed in Sheng Rujin, and just wanted to do the embroidery work well.

……

Sheng Rujin left Ling Niang's yard and was relaxed. She removed two important things on her mind, and only felt alive and refreshed.

In her previous life, the eldest lady Zhou killed her younger brother Sheng Shuyun, and designed to "get pregnant" and give birth to Sheng Shubi, and then pressed step by step, and finally made her marriage with the fifth prince Xiao Ningcheng come to naught......

This time saved Ling Niang, Sheng Shubi was not born in Ling Niang's belly. The deeds of the eldest lady Zhou were revealed, Sheng Yuming was furious, and it seemed that she would have to make trouble for a long time.

In this period of time, the eldest lady Zhou must have no time to take care of him, and it is a good time for her.

Sheng Rujin sat in the carriage and thought of the misery of the eldest lady Zhou at this moment, and her mood was extremely comfortable.

Halfway through the carriage, the sudden Qinglan called the carriage and said to Sheng Rujin: "Miss, the people from Tianyizhai are here." ”

Sheng Rujin was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

A guy dressed in the clothes of a Tianyi Lent man came. He smiled and said, "Is the eldest lady free?" Our shopkeeper invited the eldest lady to sit on Tianyizhai, which was about consignment. ”

Sheng Rujin was stunned: "So fast? ”

She remembered that in her previous life, the people of Qingsongshan entered the palace in July, why did they suddenly advance it? Could there be another reason for this?

Because it's only the beginning of May. It's been two months ahead of schedule.

The guy smiled and said, "It's not fast, it's been more than half a month." The things that Miss Sheng asked our shopkeeper to sell have been sold at a high price. ”

Sheng Rujin suddenly became happy when he heard this.

Today is really a double happiness.

Sheng Rujin couldn't help but say, let the guy go and lead the way. When the group arrived at Tianyizhai, Zhou's shopkeeper was already at the door.

Sheng Rujin got out of the carriage and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou is very capable." Got rid of it so quickly. What the hell is going on? ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said with a smile: "It's still the eldest lady of the Sheng family who has vision." A few days ago, the five princes were assassinated, and the people of Qingsongshan could not leave Beijing. The people in the palace somehow found out and reported it to the emperor. So the people of Qingsongshan entered the palace two days ago, just to relieve the emperor's worries and boredom. The emperor was happy, gave him pen and ink, sealed the imperial craftsman, and specially looked for strange stones for the royal family to make inkstones. ”

"The will was made yesterday, and then immediately someone found Tianyizhai to buy the inkstone of the Qingsongshan people. We gave it to the eldest lady at the price of the eldest lady, and they bought it at once. ”

"If the eldest lady wants to put it for an extra month, the price will definitely be higher."

Sheng Rujin smiled: "It's okay, just this price." I just make pocket money. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and welcomed Sheng Rujin in.

A box of yellow and clear silver tickets was placed in a small wooden box, and Sheng Rujin nodded, all right. A total of thirty-three thousand taels. More than she thought.

She asked, "Did Tianyizhai pump the water?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Smoked." Originally, it was 36,000 taels. When we do business, one is one, and two is two, unless the owner has orders, otherwise we still follow the rules. ”

Sheng Rujin was relieved: "To do business is to do business." According to the rules, you have to take what you deserve. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes were full of appreciation: "The eldest lady of the Sheng family is very right. ”

While he was talking, there was a voice outside, and an old man said loudly: "Oh, why is there no one to greet you, really!" ”

Another old woman said, "Old man, what do you want to buy, we can't afford it here, hurry up." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly went out to look. After a while, he walked in with a strange face.

"That...... Miss Sheng family, there is an old man and an old lady outside, I will go over and greet you. Please take care of yourself, and I will send someone to escort you back to your house in a moment. ”

Sheng Rujin nodded.

She has tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets on her, and it is normal for Tianyizhai to send someone to escort her.

Shopkeeper Zhou went out for a while, and suddenly the voices of the two guests outside came over, as if they were arguing.

Sheng Rujin frowned slightly and walked out.

I saw that in the hall of Tianyizhai, an old couple was talking excitedly.

The old lady was about forty or fifty years old, with a fair complexion and very dignified and beautiful features. But the clothes he wore were all washed and turned white.

The husband next to her is also in his early fifties, although he is old, he is also handsome, old and handsome.

However, both of them are wearing whitewashed and old clothes, and they seem to be from a middle-of-the-road family.

Sheng Rujin looked at their faces, and only felt that this couple was very amiable, and couldn't help but feel good.

When the two old couples saw Sheng Rujin walk out, their eyes immediately lit up, staring at her non-stop. 2k reading web
