Ruqing instructed Steward He carefully, and after Steward He left, Agarwood couldn't help but say, "Girl, does your method really work?" In case -----"

Linglong immediately said: "The method that our girl thought of is amazing, how can it not work?" ”

Ruqing calmed down a little, but Linglong, this girl can speak. Alas, to be honest--- she actually has no bottom. But she is the backbone and the decision-maker. If they have no faith, then how can people listen to their own commands with peace of mind?

Linglong paused, and looked worried, "But, girl, I'm also afraid, if it still doesn't work, it will be miserable." ”

"----" Ruqing was speechless for a long time, but this time Linglong hit her and stuffed her.

*

In the afternoon of the same day, Ruqing led Yahuan out to lie down, and bought some fabric for her little nephew, ready to make up the remaining unfinished needlework.

I went to the original fabric shop again, and this time I bought less, but I was still received by the housekeeper's grandmother. Ruqing tasted the fragrant Anxi Tieguanyin, puzzled, her father was only promoted to the third-grade salt transport envoy, and has not yet entered Beijing, although the brother and sister-in-law have a hard background, but there are many wealthy and powerful people in the capital, and this grandma will not be able to stammer, and it will not be her turn to be a Fangfu who has no foundation in the capital?

Ruqing took advantage of the fact that the grandmother went out, and immediately grabbed a little girl ring and asked, "May I ask my sister, who is your owner?" ”

The little girl glanced around at Ruqing, put the beautifully cut tea and fruit snacks on the small ones, and said proudly: "Our owner is Yongning Bofu." ”

Ruqing was taken aback, "Yongning Bo Mansion? ”

"Hmm. Doesn't the girl know yet? The little girl pointed to the group of bright and moving girls outside, "These girls outside are all here for our young owner." ”

Ruqing's face changed her mind several times, and she suddenly got up, startling the little girl.

Ruqing forced a smile at the little girl: "I've been delaying for a long time, and it's time to go back." Otherwise, the elders will be annoyed with me. ”

The little girl hurriedly said: "Girl, sit down for a while, just now Mama told the slave maid to wait for the girl." If you leave like this, it's not easy for the slave to give an account to the grandmother. ”

The little girl's words made Ruqing even more reluctant to stay longer, so Agarwood hurriedly walked out with the material. The little girl saw that she couldn't stop it, so she was so anxious that her face turned white, but she didn't dare to stop it openly, so she had to follow her and call out.

Ruqing walked to the door, Linglong and the others followed, and it was too late to open the curtain for her, so Ruqing lifted the four-color crisp Xiangfei bamboo curtain at the door, but halfway through, her figure seemed to be frozen, and she stared blankly at the long figure at the door.

"Sister Qing, are you leaving so soon? Don't stay a little longer? The voice of the speaker was moist, soft and elegant as the spring breeze. Listening to the little girl's ears, I felt that my body was like stepping on the clouds, and I couldn't find the north. But listening to it in Ruqing's ears is like a bolt from the blue.

Looking at Jiang Yunran's soft lips with a shallow smile, Ruqing regarded it as a trap for the devil.

Seeing that Jiang Yunran was about to take another step forward, Ruqing hurriedly retreated and retreated behind Agarwood Linglong, only then did she settle down a little, and she said in a deep voice: "Gongzi Jiang, what a coincidence." I was about to go back. ”

Jiang Yunran frowned, dissatisfied with Ruqing's eagerness to leave, and said, "Since you're here, why don't you stay for a while?" Counting up, Sister Qing has been in the capital for a few months, but I have never fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and even Sister Qing has come to me so many times but has not shown up to meet each other. It's really Jiang's, it's not. Jiang Yunran stood at Ruqing's side, his expression was gentle, and his tone was gentle.

But Ruqing was not blessed, and she could see that the housekeeper had a desire to leave her here, and she couldn't stay here any longer. hurriedly stepped back and said, "Gongzi Jiang is too polite. It's not too early, I should go back, or my grandmother will be worried. Seeing Jiang Yunran blocking his way, Ruqing lowered his face coldly, and his voice was stern, "Young Master Jiang, please respect yourself." ”

Jiang Yunran looked blankly at Ruqing's sinking face, Ruqing's body had not fully grown, and his body was only up to his chest at this time, but it was such a small person, but it had infinite majesty, forcing him to put his hands back in place.

"Sister Qing----"

Ruqing changed her tone, and said softly: "Young Master Jiang, please forgive Ruqing for being rude." is really a boudoir woman, there are many restrictions. I can't be sloppy in my words and deeds, for fear that my mistakes will affect the family's reputation. Jiang Gongzi's love for Ruqing is like a love heart. It's a pity that Ruqing is low and light, Jiang Gongzi's heart, please take it back. Lest it be misunderstood, if there is something bad, Ruqing will not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River. ”

Jiang Yunxi saw that what Ruqing said was solemn, and it didn't seem like a joke, so he didn't dare to make another mistake, and lowered his hands and said: "Sister Qing, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I just want to meet Sister Shangqing in private." If it's causing trouble to Sister Qing, it's not mine. Please forgive my sister. ”

Ruqing said: "Childe thinks about Ruming's reputation, and Ruqing is grateful. It's getting late, and I'm going back. Can Childe borrow a way? ”

Jiang Yunran looked at Ruqing's delicate but cold face in despair, her mouth opened, but she couldn't say a word, and finally moved silently and took two steps to the side.

Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief, and went out with her skirt in a puff of smoke. She was really afraid that Jiang Yunran's son's temper would attack and if she didn't let her go, then she would be finished.

*

When I returned to Fangfu, the sun was already in the west, Ruqing entered from the corner door, and I saw the third-class girl Bang Chun in her room looking left and right at the hanging flower door, with an anxious face, and suddenly saw Ruqing, her face was relieved, and she hurriedly ran forward and said to Ruqing: "Girl, you can come back." ”

Ruqing's original third-class girl didn't bring it, and He was afraid that Ruqing's girl would not be enough, so he dialed Bang Chun and Bang Dong and Ruqing in his house. Although these two girls are only third-class girls, they are clever in their words and actions. Ruqing likes them very much.

Ruqing asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Bang Chun said: "The old lady asked the slave to tell the girl that there was no need to move." ”

Ruqing was surprised: "Why is this?" The house is all found. ”

Bang Chun said: "It's not because of the third girl. Just now, the three girls came to look for the girl angrily, and it happened that the girl went out, and the three girls couldn't find anyone for a while, so they went to the back to find the mother-in-law who washed the pulp to vent her anger. But the mother-in-law who washed the pulp actually bumped into the three girls. Later, somehow, the third girl went back to the house in a rage and threw a lot of things. ”

Ruqing was puzzled: "Let's move, what does it have to do with the third sister?" ”

"It's a big deal." Bang Chun whispered, led Ruqing into the house quickly, and vigilantly closed the doors and windows, and then said happily: "The girl's method really worked." It is estimated that the wife has suffered a lot of queues and squeezes outside, and the girl does not know that when the wife came back just now, her face was ugly. Later, I heard that the old lady was going to move out, so I rushed straight to the old lady to comfort and reassure. The old lady took the opportunity to ridicule her severely. Mrs. ---- that face," Bang Chun recounted what happened in the house where Ruqing was not in the house.

At first, she thought it was just her husband's low official position, and they disdained to deal with her, so she was angry, so she told her best friends and sisters the news of her husband's promotion. Although the three products of salt are not big officials, they are also real power in hand, fat and oily errands, I believe that these noblewomen who only have good names but do not have much real power must be jealous and envious.

When she said it, these sisters spoke coldly for a while, and the most poisonous of them was the second lady of the Rongguo Mansion, Zhou, that is, her distant cousin, who actually sneered bluntly: "My sister squeezed her mother-in-law and concubine at her stepson's house, and ate and drank for nothing at her stepson's house, but her waist is still so straight." Originally, I was quite surprised, and secretly admired my sister's good skills. It turned out that her brother-in-law was promoted, and her sister-in-law was expensive with her husband, and her waist was straight. No wonder. ”

Li Shi was ridiculed by this, and in front of so many noble ladies, he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and couldn't help but retort: "Sister, what do you mean by this? When did I run my mother-in-law? Also, I am Zhili's aunt and uncle, but I am an elder and a family, what does it mean to eat for nothing and live for nothing? ”

Zhou sneered: "Oh, then forgive me because I heard it wrong." But what about the rumors out there? ”

The Li family was confused, rumors, what rumors?

The Zhou family was too lazy to talk to her, and kindly replied that it was another official wife, who had also befriended the Li family when she was a child, and immediately explained, "Now there are many rumors outside that the Fang family owes a lot of foreign debts outside. The reason is that the stepmother of the Fang family took her daughter to eat white food in the Fang family, and she loved to use the shelf as an elder. I heard that the Fang family was not well-off, and the daughter-in-law of the Fang family had no choice but to live a life of accounts after her dowry was exhausted. ”

Li's face turned blue for a while----

But a lady interjected: "It must be a false rumor." I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Fang family is the second daughter of the He family. Back then, the He family married a daughter, but they had prepared enough rich dowry, how could it be so easy to eat the dowry. It must be an exaggeration by someone on the outside. ”

The woman who spoke earlier immediately said: "Most of the dowries prepared by many rich families for their daughters are grange shops, and this He family is no exception. But when you really need to use the silver urgently, how many dollars can these shops and granges be converted into? I also heard that the daughter-in-law of this family also went back to her parents' house to borrow money from her parents' family, I don't know if there is such a thing. ”

The other women sitting together also chimed in, "I've also heard about this, that the second daughter of the He family is such a strong person, and she actually borrowed money from her mother's family for these things." I guess I didn't borrow it, otherwise I wouldn't have made an account outside. ”

The other women also said one by one, and Li Shi's face was hot when he heard it.

"I also know Mrs. He, and last year's birthday of Mrs. He, I also came to celebrate my birthday with my wife. This year's national funeral, the He family did not do it in a big way. But at the end of last month, I went to the temple to offer incense, and I happened to pound Mrs. He. We chatted for a few words. When Mrs. He talked about her second daughter's mother-in-law's family, she was already on fire. What else to say, what to say----"

The other women hurriedly asked, "What did Mrs. He say?" ”

The woman glanced at the Li family, with a strange face, and said, "There are still such shameless people in this world. I've lived most of my life, and now I've finally seen a lot. She said apologetically to Li, whose face was already green: "Sister, I'm not talking about you, it's just Mrs. He's saying." ”

Everyone else covered their lips and laughed, but Lee's face turned very green. I wanted to argue but was interrupted, "I heard that the old lady of the Fang family is also moving out." ”

The person who spoke was the second lady of Rongguo Mansion, Zhou, and as soon as she spoke, everyone rushed to ask the reason.

Zhou stared at Li with cold eyes, the corners of his lips twitched, and he said in a strange manner: "The old lady said that the Fang Mansion is really too crowded, and she is almost out of breath, and she has ordered people to look for a house everywhere." The housekeeper of the Fang Mansion was asking around, and heard that a house had been found, and when the price was negotiated, he would move out on a later date. Now, my sister is more comfortable living in Fangfu. ”

The others looked at Li in surprise or suspicion, and said insincerely, "My sister is really good, and she can actually let her mother-in-law take the initiative to vacate the house." If it's my family, don't even think about it. ”

"No, where in the world can you find such an understanding mother-in-law."

Li was so angry that he was about to hurt himself, and couldn't help but argue: "It's just my stepmother, and I'm not a decent mother-in-law." Why should I treat her like a mother-in-law? ”

The others were silent for a while, and then the second lady of Rongguo Mansion spoke: "My sister lives in Fang Mansion so magnificently, she should rely on her mother-in-law's identity, right?" ”

Li Shi immediately became angry, his face was as red as blood, and he was about to refute, but he was robbed again, "But the words come back again, the younger ones support the elders, and it is a matter of course." Even if a relative who can't hit the door comes to the door, he has to wait for good tea and good food. My sister lives in her stepson's house with peace of mind, which is also deserved. However, forcing the young couple to go into debt to get by, it was too much. What does my sister think? ”

Li opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, in front of this group of sisters in the boudoir, he fell into a big faceless, and was despised as a shameless person who took advantage of white food, and angry, he didn't want to stay longer, and left in a hurry, and went straight to Fangfu.

On the way back, Li thought a lot, and thought about what these women said just now, and felt more and more red like blood, secretly scolded himself for being confused, and only thought about blocking He's family, but unexpectedly put his reputation into it, and he regretted it very much.

On the way back, Li thought a lot, and thought about what these women said just now, and felt more and more red like blood, secretly scolded himself for being confused, and only thought about blocking He's family, but unexpectedly put his reputation into it, and he regretted it very much.

After returning to Fangfu, he heard that Rumei was crying in his house, and he was furious, thinking that his daughter was bullied by He's, and was waiting to enlighten Rumei and then settle accounts with He's, but unexpectedly, his daughter actually yelled at herself.

"You still have the face to ask me who bullied me?" Rumei stared at her mother with a red face, gritted her teeth and shouted: "If it weren't for your mother, who was so lazy and lazy and ate and lived in vain on other people's territory, how would I be ridiculed by them?" ”

Li was angry outside, and he had nowhere to vent, and now even his daughter dared to accuse him of not coming, and he swept over with a slap.

Rumei was beaten, and she was also beaten out of her evil nature, and she splashed on the spot, "You actually beat me?" You are the only one who is in front of your own family, and you are the one who is powerful in your house. Do you know what people say about us, don't you? Rumei was angry and said the anger she had received on those subordinates today, and she also spit out the discussions of the people under the Fang Mansion who she had heard.

Of course, no matter how much Rumei resents the Li family, the Li family is her mother after all, and those unpleasant words are still hidden. But Rao was like this, Li was still so angry that he almost turned his back on his anger, gritted his teeth and asked: "This daughter-in-law is more and more useless, is she so controlling her subordinates?" It was not the master who arranged the subordinates to arrange it. ”

Rumei sneered, "What kind of master are you?" This is a house that my sister-in-law's mother's family gave my sister-in-law, and it has nothing to do with our family. Even if you are the elder of the eldest brother, you are only a guest here. The eldest brother respects you as an elder, but he has never snubbed you. It's good for you, the more you rely on your elders, you swagger in and don't say anything, and you take yourself as the master. Are there any elders like you? You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed to kill you. ”

Li Shi glared angrily and reprimanded: "The dead girl is impatient, she dares to talk to her mother like this, isn't her skin itchy?" ”

Rumei stalked her neck and roared back? "My skin is itching, and it's better than some people's skin is as thick as a city wall."

Li couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped him again, Rumei was angry and aggrieved, and finally cried at this moment, and when she was making a fuss, Mrs. Fang came in. The voice shouted majestically: "Enough." ”

The old lady stared at Li majestically and said, "The root cause of all this is that this house is too small. The so-called distant relatives and close enemies are exactly this truth. Everyone is too close, and it's annoying to watch this day for a long time. But when I move out tomorrow, I can make room for you, and you mother and daughter can live comfortably. ”

Li Shi was taken aback, although she didn't like Old Lady Fang to take the elders in front of her everywhere, but if she really moved out of the mansion, then her reputation would be ruined. And when Fang Jinglan entered Beijing, he would not let himself go. So for a while, I accompanied the smiling face to check whether I was coming, and then, I followed the tone of the old lady, saying that this place is indeed too small, it is indeed not enough to live, and if they want to move, their mother and daughter will move, how can there be any reason for the elders to move out to live. Immediately afterwards, Li promised to go out and find a house immediately. Once the house was found, the whole family moved out together.

The old lady handed her bracelet and some gold and silver to Li, and said, "It's all right, you can go and find a house, the sooner the better." However, I heard that there have been a lot of external accounts outside, and they are all mine, not here, and they have caused so much trouble to Zhili and his family. I don't have much money left, so I'll take these as a treat, although they are a little old, but they are made of pure gold and silver, and they should be able to be used as a good price. Hurry up and settle the accounts outside, otherwise the reputation will not be very good. ”

Li was said to be red-faced, although he knew that the old lady was suspected of acting, but at this time, he had to swallow it, returned all the baggage and jewelry to the old lady, and said that he would pay it himself, and he would pay it himself.

When Chun said what happened, he heard that several people held their bellies and laughed, and Ruqing couldn't help laughing, everyone, you said a word, and I said what the Li family was expected to be in at that time.

Bang Xia said: "The old lady is really powerful. actually took advantage of the time when his wife went to repay the debt, and asked Xia's mother to go and come back with a lot of things in advance. It turned out that it was this idea. ”

Ruqing couldn't help laughing, Old Lady Fang is really a wonderful person, if she doesn't attack, once she starts a war, it will be a thunderbolt, leaving no room for it.

This time, the Li family was treated extremely miserably, not only with the silver but also with the reputation, and the gains outweighed the losses. And the two little foxes who benefited the most were the old lady and the He family.

*

The Li family was greatly injured this time, how could he still have the face to continue to stay in Fang He, and learned from the pain, so he repaid the debt very quickly and found a house. In the first few days of Fang Jinglan's entry into Beijing, he was able to find a house, contacted the buyer, paid the silver, and got the title deed. Once Fang Jinglan enters Beijing, he will be able to live in it with a little more time, which is not a speed.

Ruqing still admired her efficiency, but the old lady said: "The house is estimated to have been found a long time ago, but I have been refusing to leave here." ”

Ruqing was silent, I don't know whether to say that the Li family is too smart or too stupid.
