45 Fang Jinglan said: You have to raise the shelf
Aunt Zhang frowned, "This is strange, so decent, why did the kid surnamed Jiang do this?" β
Mrs. Zhu pursed her lips, "Who knows." However, the son of Uncle Yongning was responsible, knelt down in front of the old lady on the spot, and said that he was willing to be responsible for the four girls. β
Aunt Zhang let out an "oh", but Rushan jumped up, "How is this possible?" Isn't Ruqing already engaged to the Xiang family? How can I marry another man? β
Mrs. Zhu said: "Although the family sent a heavy gift, it is not a bride price. The wife did not immediately agree. What's more, the most important thing for the boudoir girl is the reputation and reputation, which everyone is watching, and the body is hugged by a foreign man and touched, which is a great event. If the Xiang family heard about this, it was estimated that they would have to withdraw from their relatives. β
Aunt Zhang snorted: "I really can't imagine that the four girls are still blessed." β
Rushan is very unhappy in his heart, although Uncle Yongning Mansion is only a second-class title, but Uncle Yongning has always had real power in his hands and has a rich family background, that Jiang Yunran is a rare and beautiful son, Ruqing's useless luck is so good, which makes her very unhappy, who has always been favored and enjoys the treatment of the stars and the moon.
Zhang's heart is also uncomfortable, the status of the Bofu is above the top of the Zhengyipin, such as a concubine in the sunny district, and he is not outstanding in all aspects, he can actually marry into the Jiang family by mistake, isn't the Zhu family's slut not a mother and a daughter, and even more indispensable?
Thinking of this, Zhang couldn't sit still.

Zhang's fidgeting in her house is uneasy, and Freehand is also busy.
Although I fell into the pool and soaked for a while, this weather will not be a big problem. But the old lady still urged her subordinates to boil a thick ginger soup and drink it with Ruqing.
The four of them also acted in an orderly manner, serving the soup and looking for clothes, and after a while, Ruqing, who was embarrassed, drank the ginger soup and drank the soothing soup, and then took a wet hair and let the agarwood take a towel and wipe it on his head.
Linglong had already found clean clothes and put them aside, waiting for Ruqing to dry her hair and put it on.
The old lady sat on the other side, her eyes scanned back and forth on Ruqing's pink face, only to see Ruqing sitting quietly on the pier, letting Agarwood wipe her hair, her eyes were half-closed, two rows of long eyelashes were like fans, her white and red face, like a white egg white that had just been peeled from an eggshell, smooth, pink and tender, and her fair face revealed a normal faint flush, I have to admit that Ruqing of her family was born with such a color. Quiet and gentle, well-behaved and aura. The kid surnamed Jiang is considered to have a vision.
Thinking of this, the old lady's eyebrows that had been twisted finally relaxed, and she said to Ruqing: "What happened in Tong's house today is estimated to spread throughout the capital in less than a day." Are you prepared? β
Ruqing's long eyelashes fluttered, and her fists clenched. Unspeakable feelings in my heart, anger, and anticipation.
As for what to expect, Ruqing can't say why. Because, she also saw joy in the eyes of the girls, and this joy also infected her, heh, it turns out that she is also a person who hates the poor and loves the rich.
"Grandma, will these rumors have an impact on our family?"
The old lady was asked for a while, thought about it carefully, and said, "I can't say." It's obviously the kid surnamed Jiang who pushed you down the pool. Yet, worldly moral rebukes will still be directed at you. Lonely men and widows, who are not relatives or relatives, have been hugged and hugged again, and ---- alas, if the Jiang family does not come to propose, it will indeed affect your reputation. The old lady sighed heavily, which was why she was angry.
"That damn kid surnamed Jiang, even if he really has a soft spot for you, he can just propose to our family in a bright way, why bother to make such a big move, and it won't hurt my girl's reputation." The old lady was furious, "Although you are innocent, people outside will not think like this, they will definitely say that you dislike the poor and love the rich, and you dislike to climb another branch to your home." This damn dead boy surnamed Jiang. It's hateful. β
Ruqing was stunned, and Feiyang's heart sank again.
At this time, He Shi came in with a big belly, and Xiqing and Miaoqing supported her, their faces were nervous. But He ignored it completely, strode in, and asked anxiously, "What happened?" Good and decent, how can you cause so much trouble? β
When the old lady saw He, she barely squeezed out a smile, and instructed the girls to quickly cover the cushions on the kang thicker, and festive and Miaoqing waited for He to sit down carefully. He Shi asked again: "I was taking a nap just now, and I heard such news, how can this be good?" That Jiang Shizi, what did you say? β
Agarwood looked at the old lady's face, and said crisply: "Back to the eldest grandmother, then Jiang Shizi said that he would come to our house to propose marriage on a certain day." However, having said that, the slave is still worried about our girl's reputation. β
He Shi smiled gently, "It's okay, I can still trust this Jiang Shizi's character." It's just that he just married in this way, but he was also wronged by his fourth sister. β
At this time, the Lin family, who was coming in from outside, immediately took over, "No grievances, no grievances." If Jiang Shizi doesn't do this, how can we refuse to do this family business? Lin looked around with a smile, and finally stared at He Shi, and said with a smile: "This Jiang Shizi is really smart and thoughtful. He knew that the Xiang family relied on Princess Jing as a matchmaker, and it was difficult for our family to refuse, so we had to make this decision. Although the reputation of the fourth sister has been damaged, as long as the fourth sister marries into the Jiang family, won't the reputation of the fourth sister come back? Sister-in-law, am I still right? β
Hugh glanced at her and smiled calmly, "What my brother and sister said is reasonable. β
Lin covered his lips and smiled: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it." Although the Xiang family has Princess Jing as a matchmaker, I always feel that the fourth sister is really wronged when she marries. My sister-in-law thinks so too, right? β
He Shi's expression was still calm, and he turned his head to Ruqing and smiled: "Fourth sister, look, your third sister-in-law also cares about you so much." β
Ruqing smiled, "There are two sisters-in-law who care, which is also Ruqing's blessing." β
Lin said: "Sister, don't say that, it's all your own family, you should be." β
The old lady glared at them dissatisfied, "Before they come to the door to propose, you are here to get married." β
He and Lin glanced at each other, and then Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The old lady is worried." Although their Jiang family is high, our family is not in vain. What's more, with such a color as the fourth sister, will they be wronged? β
"That's true. But it's not a good thing that something like this happens. The old lady still has concerns, and deep down she always feels that the He and Lin families are too naΓ―ve.
He gently reassured the old lady, "The matter was caused by the Jiang family, even if the Jingwang Mansion and the Xiang family are not happy, but they are afraid of reputation, they will not say anything." What's more, Mrs. Xiang loves face very much, and now that this kind of thing has happened to the fourth sister, she will definitely take the initiative to withdraw from her relatives. We don't have to think of a reason to refuse. β
Ruqing sat quietly aside, without saying a word, and let the agarwood Linglong put on a couple-colored embroidered pink peach folded branch flower cardigan, then combed her hair, and wore earrings like a fish.
Lin Shi looked at Ruqing, who was dressed in a new dress, his eyes lit up, down, left and right, and said with a smile: "Look at this big watery eyes, look at this smooth skin, even I can't help but want to pity, let alone men?" The eldest sister-in-law is right, the son of the Jiang family deliberately came like this, it is estimated that it is really interesting to the fourth sister. β
The old lady shook her head, "You only know one thing, you don't know the other." The kid surnamed Jiang has a long history of thinking about Ruqing, and my wife already knows. But the question is, can he really make his own decisions about his own marriage? β
One sentence stopped everyone present, and Ruqing's face turned pale, and a cold, noble and reserved face appeared in her mind.
He has been living in the capital, and he also knows more about Yun's personality, hearing the old lady say this, his heart is also tight, and the hand holding the tea bowl can't help but shake a few times, and said: "Isn't it that we beg to go to the door, not to mention, shouldn't her own son be responsible for doing this kind of thing to someone else's daughter?" After sorting out the stakes, He's tone gradually became sufficient, "Even if Mrs. Jiang doesn't look down on our family's disciples, my Fang family is not vegetarian, so I can't help her to be picky like this." β
Lin observed He for a while, and then nodded, "Sister-in-law is right. Although the status of Yongning Bo Mansion is above that of a first-class master, our Fang family is not a casual family, so what can she say? Seeing Ruqing's miserable white face, Lin bit her lip slightly, looking very uneasy, took pity in her heart, stepped forward and gently patted Ruqing's shoulder, comforting, "Don't be afraid, there is a father-in-law, and the old lady is here, and you will not be wronged." β
Ruqing reluctantly pulled her lips and raised a smile that was more ugly than crying.
*
The old lady and the He family discussed the possible development of the matter together, and the Li family, who came back from the temple, also heard about it, and was surprised, happy and mixed, but thinking that Ruqing marrying the other party's family only has benefits and no harm, so she put the complexity aside in her heart for the time being. He also joined the discussion.
That night, Fang Jinglan and Zhili also heard about it, and Zhili's face was pale and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Fang Jinglan was surprised for a while, but after being surprised, he was silent again.
Li was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Master, it is about the lifelong happiness of the young girl and the reputation of the girl, can you say something." β
Fang Jinglan stroked his well-maintained beard and said in a deep voice: "This matter is both a good thing and a bad thing. β
The Li family was puzzled, and Fang Jinglan said: "I really value Yunran, the son of the Jiang family. He has a soft spot for the girl, and I've heard a little about it. Let him be our son-in-law, I have no objection. However, Mrs. Jiang ---"
Li hurriedly waved his hand, "She is my distant cousin, if the girl marries her, won't she be close to each other, it's too late for her to be happy." How will it be opposed. This is also the words that Li used to comfort the old lady and others.
Fang Jinglan snorted coldly: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better." But I am a little worried about Mrs. Jiang's personality. β
"What are you worried about?"
"Even if Mrs. Jiang agrees to the Qing girl to enter the door, but the Qing girl enters the door like this, how can she have no opinion in her heart?" Since ancient times, her mother-in-law has been bigger than the sky, and Fang Jinglan is also afraid that Ruqing will be provoked if she marries in the past.
Li pursed his lips: "What will my cousin say?" As long as my nephew likes it, he can get it. What's more, it was obviously her son who made such a big move. What reason did she have against it? "Ruqing's good and bad life in the past is not within her care at all. She only knew that the Yun family had a lot of connections in the capital, and if she became in-laws with her in the future, wouldn't there be more room for choice in Rumei's marriage?
Fang Jinglan shook his head, paced along the round table with his hands behind his back, thinking as he walked, until after walking a few laps, he suddenly said, "You have to remember." If Mrs. Jiang really comes to the door to propose, we have to raise the shelf. β
