After staying in Haining's hometown for three months, the old lady left the Fang Mansion and set off to return to Beijing.

Ruqing returned to Beijing, and Rushan had also lifted the ban and came to greet him personally at the door of the weeping flowers. Rumei also has a lot of sisterly love, and when she saw Ruqing getting out of the carriage, she rushed over with an arrow, and said something like "I miss me" in her mouth with enthusiasm.

Ruqing's flattered and flattered Rushan has always disdained her, looked down on her low eyebrows, and always felt that she had no ambitions, so she had to do nothing and not enterprising, which was simply a shame for the modern crossing woman, because although everyone exposed each other's identities, the relationship was still very stiff. Especially the last time Ruqing didn't stand on her side, she was insulted by her mother and sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law was suspicious, and she was punished by her father. Who knew that this time, she was so enthusiastic, Ruqing only felt goosebumps all over her body.

The same is true for Rumei, although Rumei has no hostility towards her, but she has never disliked her identity as a concubine, usually when she is very good to Ruqing, either Rushan is unlucky again, or Ruqing is inferior to her in all aspects (referring to being despised by the Yun family, and later engaged to the family) or it is inconvenient for Rumei to be in good spirits on happy occasions. I just don't know what it is.

The three sisters came to Ruqing's freehand house with their own thoughts, and the little girls who were in charge of staying behind immediately got up happily when they saw Ruqing, "The girl is finally back." Then he looked at Ruqing with a blank eye.

Ruqing was stared at so that her scalp was numb, this time she went back to Haining, the harvest was really rich, everyone in the family prepared gifts, the gifts of her father, brother and sister-in-law had already been brought back in advance when they set off, and the gifts of the Li family, Rushan Rumei were still in the car. And the gifts of the little girls----

Lan Yin on the side was very good at observing words and feelings, and hurriedly said: "The girl is back, and the slave will go to prepare." Then he turned around and made a fierce eye with the little girls.

Peach and Lan Yin have a tacit understanding, and quickly ran down to inform the other girls: The second girl and the third girl are here, everyone keep their mouths tight, don't show your mouth.

After Ruqing led Rushan Rumei into the house, after the girls poured tea, everyone gossiped and got up, affectionate and affectionate, and it was really a deep sisterhood.

Rushan drank tea, while secretly observing the agarwood Linglong who came in later, and the four Yuqin servants, seeing that each of them had a burden, quite heavy, and very protective, and saw that there were many boxes and cages in the hall, and the servants were still trying to move here, all of them were of different sizes, some of the boxes were also inlaid with gold and silver, and the hands in the three-color embroidered trimmed sleeves involuntarily clenched tightly, the corners of the lips flashed unnaturally a trace of stiffness, took a sip of tea, and smiled casually: "My sister went back to her hometown this time, It must have been a lot of gains, right? Look at these girls, they are all strong to walk. ”

Rumei couldn't find a topic to talk about, the lock in the house, the gossip outside was all she said, and she couldn't find the entry point, she was scratching her ears and cheeks, this time she saw Rushan open the door and said it, but she was also relieved, and she couldn't care about pretending to be reserved anymore, and hurriedly said: "That's definitely it." The fourth sister is the most lovable, and even my mother often praises me in front of me. I must have gained a lot of benefits from returning to my hometown this time, right? After the sentence was finally said, Rumei's face became thicker, seeing Ruqing's naturally flushed face, she just lowered her head to drink honey water, and couldn't help but push her, "Hey, where is my gift?" ”

Ruqing grinned, looked at Rumei and said with a smile: "The third sister is still the same as before, she just likes to be a robber." Don't worry, even if you have less than others, you don't dare to miss the third sister. Then let Agarwood open one of the cages. Rushan Rumei hurriedly stretched her neck to look, but for fear of being seen, her ass still didn't leave the chair, but a pair of black eyes had been hurriedly ejaculated.

When the simple and rough cage was opened, there was a salty smell wrapped in manic paper, Rushan deliberately pinched his nose and looked disgusted, "What is this, such a stinky smell." With that, he got up and went to take a look.

Rumei saw her get up, and she didn't fall behind, so she hurriedly followed.

Agarwood hurriedly stretched out his hand to remove the man, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just some salted fish in Haining, the girl eats it cutely, and she must eat it at every meal." Wash it and put it in the sea bowl, put some onions, garlic and ginger, and then put some swamp wine to steam together, but the meal, especially in the morning porridge, our girl wants to eat three sea bowls. "Although agarwood is exaggerated, it is not bad. The two sisters looked at Ruqing, and one was incredible: "My sister can really eat." Beware of eating fat bodies. ”

Rumei is much more direct, "You were a pig in your last life!" ”

Ruqing smiled hehehe, not angry, just smiled and said: "If you can eat, you are blessed, I have always been blessed to eat, look, these boxes are all Haining's specialties, and my aunt gave me a whole truckload, this is salted fish, this is Haining's specialty mustard, porridge is absolutely delicious, as well as zongzi and Nanhu Ling, Aunt Peng is so good, I know that I love to drink honey, this time I also packed a whole two large boxes." Saying that, Ruqing opened every box, which was full of some food, and Rushan Rumei was disappointed, but she was also relieved, and her heart was much better. They all took light steps and sat back in their original positions, watching the girls busy going in and out, and eating watermelons with melon seeds. I heard that this watermelon is still produced in Haining, the skin is thin, juicy, sweet, with a layer of pink sand in the mouth, it is sweet and crisp in the mouth, the aftertaste is incomparable, sweet and sweet, unconsciously, I ate a lot more. Until their stomachs were swollen and they couldn't eat anymore, they each received their own gifts and went back satisfied.

Especially the subordinates they brought with each of them hugged two big watermelons and left.

After they left, they made a gesture exquisitely, only to see a group of little girls rushing out from inside, and they were about to stop chattering, but they were stopped by Agarwood with a look, and then quieted down.

Yuqin gestured to silence her, and then pointed outside, and the little girls nodded vigorously to show that they understood. Then Linglong opened each box, and Linglong took a lot of delicious food, fun, and some cross-hoop earrings for each person, and each little girl was divided into several according to their rank. The little girl left happily with a bunch of food, gold, silver and pearl beads.

Ruqing stopped one of them, "Qingluan, Taohong, you two put your things down first, I have something to ask you." ”

Qingluan Taohong stood respectfully in front of Ruqing, and Ruqing said softly: "After I left, did the second sister and third sister come to my house?" ”

Qingluan shook her head, "Don't worry, girl, after you leave, Taohong and I will guard this door." The second girl and the third girl never came. ”

Rosé nodded her head as well.

Ruqing nodded and smiled, "Very good, you guys are doing a good job." Then he said with a smile: "So I ate and drank a lot in Haining, and I won't forget the two of you." Oh, Linglong, bring me the gift I brought to them. ”

Linglong is a "good man", his hands and feet neatly shave open the salted fish, and a package is revealed under the box, and the eyes of the two of them are straight, and they can't help but look at each other.

Agarwood glared at the past majestically, "I haven't seen the earthly buns in the world, the girl will reward you, and you will accept it respectfully." Why bother to make the appearance of a boar entering the city, it's not a joke. Take back your eyes for me, whether it's gold and silver mines, or mountain treasures and antiques, give me a good surface work. ”

The two of them immediately stood solemnly with their hands down, their eyes not squinting, their heads lowered at a 45-degree angle, respectful and neither humble nor arrogant.

Ruqing was very satisfied, and couldn't help but give Agarwood an appreciative look.

Encouraged by this, Agarwood straightened up again, and continued to reprimand, "The girl praises you, but the girl is easy to talk to, don't think that what you do is satisfactory." I tell you, it's still a long way off. Although the room seems to be clean, in fact, everywhere is not clean, the small heads are dusty, the lampshades are not cleaned, and the window lattices, chairs, teacups, cabinets, all of them are not up to par. When the girl leaves, she tells you two to look at the house, not just to lock the door and finish the work, but also to take care of it. Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

Linglong opened the package, there were actually a few strings of silver in it, and Agarwood took it, one string per person, "Take it, this is a little bit of the girl's heart." The girl has said, for your sake of faithful service to the Lord, give you a direct reward of silver. But next time, if you don't do well enough, you'll have to deduct money. ”

The two thanked them again, Ruqing read a few words as usual, let them go, and walked around with the agarwood in the freehand house, although they were not satisfactory, but the big supremacy was quite satisfied, at least the thatched house was clean, there was no big smell. The yard is also quite tidy, and there are no fallen leaves and weeds. The swing she likes to sit on is still full and clean. Ruqing endured the dissatisfaction in her heart, praised and then belittled the little girls, and then gave one or two hangs of money as a reward. It's a combination of grace and power.

That night, the Agarwood people classified all the large and small cages according to their preciousness, and locked them all into a large box with iron Baina copper locks, which were classified and finished late at night. A few humans are choking, but it is quite satisfying to see that Ruqing's 100-nano box, which has been empty for many years, can finally be filled.

On the second day, Ruqing went to visit the two sisters-in-law again, and He and Zhili had a deep relationship, and with the nourishment of love, they lived a comfortable life. The third sister-in-law and Zhilian also get along well, and Lin has been pregnant for more than five months, but she is still alive.

After visiting the door, Ruqing began to prepare to make some children's clothes for the children of the third sister-in-law. He shrank into the house, and did not go out of the door. Everyone in the house sighed that the fourth girl was really well-behaved and well-behaved, and the old lady was really good at ** people. When the old lady was eating, the old lady said to Ruqing in front of everyone: "What have you been hiding in the house all day lately?" ”

Ruqing replied: "Make some small clothes for Brother Wen and the third sister-in-law's baby, the weather is getting hotter, I have to make a pair of breathable cloth shoes for my father and mother, I still think about embroidering a purse for my father." Two days ago, I accidentally found that my father's purse was old. ”

Ruqing's words moved everyone, and He said: "Don't bother, your nephew has enough clothes." I'll do it for your third sister-in-law. ”

Lin hurriedly said, "Don't do it." With this heart, it is done. Didn't burn their eyes. ”

Li said movingly: "It's still a loving girl, and it's not in vain that your father recorded you in my name." "The gaze seems to be nothing, and it seems to be good, and it seems to be colorful.

Rushan sneered in his heart, as if he was disdainful. But his face was silent.

Fang Jinglan smiled and looked at Ruqing with satisfaction, his eyes were loving. "The girl is so sensible and caring, and she is very pleased with her father. Your uncle has written to me, and I envy me for giving birth to a sensible and well-behaved daughter, haha---"

Ruqing smiled sweetly, "It's not a blessing for Daddy." Father is filial to his grandmother, loves his children, and supports his daughters, so that we have no worries about food and clothing. As a daughter, she can't share her father's worries and relieve her work, so she can only do a little filial piety. Daddy, this is what my daughter deserves. ”

Fang Jinglan was very moved when he heard this, and praised Ruqing a few words.

The old lady interjected: "Come on, the girl will buy you with a purse." How did I not know you were so good to send before? ”

Fang Jinglan was embarrassed and said: "Back then, my son was young and ignorant, and he made his mother angry many times, and asked his mother to look at her son's young and ignorant sake, and not to worry about her son." Not to mention, not to mention ---"

Ruqing took over, "What's more, my father is a lot older, he has a group of children, and he has grandchildren, grandma, you better save some face for your father." ”

One sentence made everyone laugh, Fang Jinglan's face was swollen red, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, he stared at Ruqing and shook his head impatiently, and scolded in his mouth: "The little girl is really not like words, how can she arrange Lao Tzu's affairs." ”

The old lady laughed so much that tears flowed, she couldn't help but slap Ruqing's palm, and scolded with a smile: "Poor girl." Your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law have all been deceived by your apparent well-behavedness. What makes small clothes for my little nephew and shoes and purses for my father and mother, I think, it's not that I'm afraid of being caught playing cards by me, for fear of losing money and crying nose. Then he explained to everyone, "In those days in Haining, this girl also shrunk in the house every day to embroider, and her aunt praised her, and I was also proud and relieved before, thinking that this girl was really sensible." Who knows, who knows---- guess what she is for? ”

"What is it?" Everyone asked in unison.

The old lady couldn't help but smile and said: "This girl secretly said in front of Mother Xia, alas, this time my luck is really back, and I lose so badly every time I play cards." But it's hard not to go, so I can only borrow embroidery and don't go. Otherwise, the bounty of the eldest aunt and their mother will be lost as soon as possible. It's my dowry. The old lady learned Ruqing's tone, which caused everyone to laugh again, and they all laughed and scolded Ruqing for being a good money fan.

Ruqing was embarrassed to be said, blushing, twisting her eyebrows unhappily, and pursing her lips to express her dissatisfaction. But where did everyone pay attention to her, they all said that she was a little slippery and a little money fan.

Rushan listened to it very unpleasantly, and couldn't help but put the chopsticks into Fang Jinglan's bowl, and his voice was sweet, "Daddy, this is your favorite braised tomato shreds, eat more." After eating, I had the strength to play against my daughter. ”

Fang Jinglan laughed and said with a smile: "Mmmm, okay, I haven't played chess for a long time." Wait for our father and daughter to learn a thing or two. ”

Rushan smiled and groaned: "Okay, don't play tricks if you lose when the time comes." ”

"Haha, although my father hasn't played chess for a long time, it's more than enough to deal with you with a small head."

The father and daughter said a lot more, and Li couldn't sit still again, so he couldn't help kicking Rumei under the table, and motioned for her to say the same.

Rumei was really angry in her heart, and when she couldn't see that Rushan got all her father's eyes, she couldn't help but say loudly: "Daddy, you really should accompany the second sister more." Otherwise, if the second sister does something embarrassing, it will be terrible. ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were filled with complexity and sighs.

Zhili and his wife shook their heads impatiently, and Zhilian and his wife did not make any statement, but they felt that their faces were gloomy. The old lady and Ruqing bowed their heads to eat. Rushan's face was red with anger, while Fang Jinglan looked angry, glaring at his two daughters, sighing and angry.
