Ruqing suddenly realized that with Fang Jingxuan's temperament in the eyes of Quanquan, what a glorious thing it was to be able to walk with the prince of King Jing.

"So that's the case, no wonder the second girl is so excited." Linglong pulled out the fire in the charcoal furnace, and said coldly, Ruqing recalled Rushan's calm but firm eyes, and she was stunned for a while.

Shen Pozi reprimanded again: "Why do you have more mouths and more tongues? What can you say? ”

Linglong stuck out her tongue, but couldn't help but refute: "I'm just talking about it in front of the girl, and I won't talk about it outside." ”

"You dead girl, you dare to talk back--- "Mrs. Shen was so angry that she wanted to step forward to tear her mouth, but was stopped by Ruqing, "Okay, Mother Shen, dissipate your anger." Linglong is good at everything, it's just this mouth---- forget it, I'm a good master, and this little problem with the servant girl is up to her. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, let her chew the root of his tongue, as long as it is not heard by outsiders. Linglong immediately agreed, "That's it, I didn't take it outside to talk about it, I just told the girl." What's more, I'm not chewing the root of my tongue, it's a fact. ”

Mrs. Shen was made to cry and laugh by her crooked reasoning, and finally reprimanded her again with a straight face, although it is not in the way for her own people to hear, but she is afraid that the wall has ears, and she still has to pay more attention to her mouth in the future, so as not to cause a big disaster.

At noon, the family gathered in the main hall for lunch, and I don't know whether the old lady was intentional or unintentional, this time the men and women were separated from each other, the women ate in the inner hall, but the men were outside, although the Fang Mansion was a scholarly disciple, in the end it was not as particular as the dignitary's house, and the inner hall and the outer hall were separated by a person-high Huanghuali round carved Ganoderma lucidum pattern sitting screen. Each of them can be heard clearly. Ruqing silently picked up the rice, and listened to Fang Jinglan and Zhilian outside to persuade wine and dinner hospitablely, the Zhao brothers added fuel to the fire, and Zhili Zhiyi should echo the shadow, and Li Xu, who usually likes to speak loudly and arrogantly, is much calmer this time, and his speech is much more polite than in the past.

Li didn't know what was going on, and preached to the old lady and Fang Jing, "In the end, the son from the capital is becoming more and more quiet and magnificent." ”

The old lady didn't make a sound, and Fang Jingxuan only slightly hooked her lips as a concurrence.

didn't get a response, Li's face was pale, and when he saw Rumei looking out through the screen from time to time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger and shouted: "This time I went to your aunt's house, I have to listen to my aunt's words, and I am not allowed to follow my own temperament anymore." Do you understand? Then he preached to the other party: "The so-called aunt is the aunt is the father, the aunt is the aunt of Rumei, and the aunt is Rumei's aunt, which is equivalent to half a father, I will hand over Rumei to my aunt and grandmother, if there is anything disobedient, although the lesson is." ”

Fang Jingxuan said with a smile: "What did my sister-in-law say, the children are with me, I will take care of them, sister-in-law don't worry." ”

Li sighed again, "Rumei has always been by my side, but there are a lot of things in the house, none of those subordinates have stopped, they are in charge of the affairs of the officials, but they are negligent in the discipline of this girl, even if she is not big or small, willful and arrogant and disobedient to discipline, I am really afraid that she will come to you, and it will be up to her own temperament. ”

Rumei saw that her mother said that she was useless, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and retorted: "Mother, I'm a little willful, but it's better than some people who don't have one or two sides and three knives, and only know how to pretend to be weak and pitiful, right?" Then he squinted at Rushan with his eyes, and his eyes glanced at the lock plate made of colorful lotus flowers and jade on her chest, and his eyes couldn't help but breathe fire.

Everyone sitting here is a human spirit-like character, how can they not hear the object that Rumei alludes to, and they can't help but look at Rushan together.

Rushan ate her food casually, but when she heard the words, she smiled and said, "The third sister is very right. In these years, there are really not many people who have a intestine to the end. In other words, the fate of today's King Jing Wu and Ze Yunhou, my sister should have heard of it, right? ”

As soon as the kind words were spoken, the expressions of the people were different.

King Jingwu is the meritorious minister of the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, and later Emperor Taizu ruled the world, and the great meritorious hero, Jing Zhiliang was the first and only king with a different surname because of his merit, known as King Jingwu in history, and the hereditary king of Tianzi No. 1. And Chang Qing, who was second only to King Jingwu in merit, was named Marquis Zeyun, a hereditary first-class marquis. However, hundreds of years have passed, and there is no hereditary title of King Wu. However, the Zeyun Marquis Mansion of the first-class marquis has been inherited to this day, and now its prestige is still strong. The reason for this is that King Jingwu is too upright and choking to speak, so that he offended the new group of civil officials led by Emperor Gaozu, and they all made a difficulty, verbally criticized and wrote, digging three feet into the ground to collect evidence of their crimes, and pitiful Jing Zhiliang, who won a hundred battles on the battlefield and made the enemy frightened, but in the end, because of that mouth, he was scolded to death by this group of new generation of civil officials, and King Jingwu was convicted of arrogance and lasciviousness, corruption and perversion of the law, private torture hall and lynching, robbery of people's female --- and other 36 crimes, and was finally beaten into Dali Temple, The case of King Jing Wu was a sensation when ---- Yang heard about the case of King Wu of Jing, no matter which crime was only one of the charges of the head off, but because of the outstanding merits, the emperor could not kill people, it would be called a rabbit dead and a dog cooked, which was very unkind, so the benevolent and benevolent Emperor Gaozu left King Jingwu's life, only took away the hereditary title of King Wu, and was demoted to the second king of Tianzi, expelled from the boundary of the capital, and sent to the remote southwest Bashu region, which was under the jurisdiction of the king of Shu.

I don't know if this King Jingwu was unaccustomed to the soil or too sad, he stayed in the Bashu region for less than three years before he died of illness. His eldest grandson succeeded to the title (the sons of King Yingjing Wu were all killed on the battlefield, and there were also several concubines, but the Daqing Dynasty has always established heirs and not concubines, and these concubines are not qualified to be knights. It's a pity that this newly appointed martial prince is a blessed man, and after less than two years in office, he fell from his horse and died during a hunt. Because he had no children under his knees, the only king with a different surname since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, but because there was no successor, he was withdrawn from his title.

And the other Marquis Zeyun in Rushan's mouth was also knighted for merit, but this person was cautious, never angry with others, and had a good relationship in Korea, his sister-in-law married Shang Shu Qianjin, and his daughter-in-law promised the son of Li University, one of the three major bachelors of the dynasty, and the rest of the descendants all married the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and the three generations have been inherited, and they have flourished like pines and cypresses in the courtyard of Old Lady Fang, and a leaf covers the sky.

Rushan regards Rumei Biha as the king of Jingwu and himself as the Marquis of Zeyun, and the meaning is self-evident. Rumei is young and doesn't understand these allusions, but she has also heard of the prestige of Zeyunhou's mansion, and she also saw the clues from the looks of their respective adults, and she didn't want to be looked down on by Rushan, so she couldn't help but snort coldly, "You refer to yourself as Zeyunhou, and you don't look at your own virtue, are you worthy?" ”

The corners of Rushan's lips raised a cold loneliness, Ruqing thought she was going to refute, who knows, the next moment, Rushan suddenly turned red, she wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and sobbed and said: "Third sister, what are these words, I know that I am just a concubine, and I dare not have the slightest appearance in front of my sister who is a concubine, but the third sister, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, we always have the same surname, this breaks the bones and tendons, and Hengjian can't write the second square word, why does the third sister always use the identity of the concubine to press me?" The third sister knows, my heart is really uncomfortable, like a knife twisting----" said that the beads fell down densely like beads with broken threads, and Rushan kept wiping her tears while holding the embroidered handkerchief, while choking.

Ruqing carefully stared at Rushan's embroidered handkerchief, uh, there are so many teardrops, how much chili water is stained on this embroidered handkerchief?

Seeing Rushan's crying and crying appearance, Li Shi's heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but shout: "I didn't beat you or scold you, why are you crying?" How frustrating it is to cry in front of your aunt, and it is intended that people can't eat, right? ”

As good as he heard, he had changed from just sobbing to choking, and his eyes were red from crying.

Li was so angry that she really wanted to step forward and slap her twice to vent her anger, but she didn't dare, because there was still the old lady and Fang Jingxuan present. She turned her head to the old lady and said: "Old lady, aunt, you see, if there is a quarrel or two between the sisters, she will cry as if her mother has been greatly wronged, fortunately, the old lady and aunt are present, otherwise outsiders will think that I beat her again and scolded her and mean her----" Li's words were not so much for the old lady and mother and daughter, but for Fang Jinglan. Because Fang Jinglan heard Rushan's crying, he had already strode in from outside, seeing Rushan's red eyes, and hearing Li's words, the question in his mouth had been swallowed, and he suppressed his anger and asked: "What's going on, Shan'er, what grievances have you suffered?" Then he couldn't help but glare at Li again.

In the past few years, no matter how he mediates from it, his wife is not pleasing to Zhang's left and right, which makes him have a headache, and he gradually favors Zhang's more, after all, Zhang has been in love with him, and he has a past relationship, and he gave birth to a pair of smart and clever children. Fang Jinglan clearly remembered that when the Zhang family was honest and good, he almost died.

Seeing that Fang Jinglan was biased towards Rushan as soon as he came in, Li was angry, but he was in the way of Fang Jingxuan's face, so he didn't dare to attack, so he could only stare at Rushan with a black face.

Rumei saw her father's angry eyes glancing at her mother, and while she was wronged, she couldn't help but have the courage to avenge her mother, "Daddy, this is none of my mother's business." She couldn't think of it and wanted to cry. ”

It's okay if Rumei didn't say it, but when she said it, she aroused Fang Jinglan's anger, and she couldn't help but poke her fingers and shout angrily, "You evil obstacle, a few days ago, I beat Rushan as my father for my aunt's gift, and I didn't settle accounts with you when I fought for my aunt's gift, and the day before yesterday I broke Rushan's jade lock, if Shan'er hadn't pulled me alive and dead, I would have asked you to teach you a lesson." Why did you bully my sister today, huh? The more Fang Jinglan spoke, the more angry he became, angry as the willfulness and brutality of the beauty, and the heartache as the kindness of the grievances and begging for perfection, but he failed to end well, but became even more rampant and indulged in the beauty.

Li Shi heard that Fang Jinglan was so protective of Rushan, and suddenly stood up, and he couldn't care so much, and said sharply: "Rumei will fight Rushan for her aunt's gift?" Where do you start? ”

Fang Jinglan sneered and pointed at Rumei, "You can ask your precious daughter." ”

Li Shi turned his head, and Rumei also stood up, her voice was angry, "That day, Rushan scolded me for being a stupid person, and I was so angry that I hit her." I just hit her once----"

"Slapped? Did you just hit it? Shan'er's face was bloodied. Fang Jinglan was furious, and decided that no matter whether the family scandal was publicized or not, he had to teach this disobedient daughter a lesson today without sisterly affection.

Rumei was so angry that she burst into tears, and defended: "It's clear that she did it herself, but she blamed me." ”

"Shut up, dare to quibble, you evil obstacle!" Fang Jinglan's forehead was bruised, and he was about to step forward to clean her up, Li took Rumei in his arms, and yelled at Fang Jinglan: "You are biased, just accuse Rumei, the master simply gave me a letter of resignation, let our mother and daughter beg to go." ”

Ruqing was so frightened by the battle that she hid in front of Ruzhen, and Ruzhen patted her gently, signaling that she didn't have to be afraid.

At this time, Fang Jingxuan saw that it was almost over, so he opened his mouth, "Second brother, you are really, you convict Rumei indiscriminately without asking whether it is right or wrong, your father is inevitably too partial." ”

Fang Jinglan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Fang Jingxuan said again: "Rumei really didn't say anything just now, but Rushan took an embroidered handkerchief dipped in chili water and accidentally wiped her eyes, so she cried like this." Second brother, you don't ask whether it's right or wrong, and you just blame it indiscriminately. If I am beautiful, I will be wronged. ”

Fang Jingxuan's words can be regarded as a heavy blow, Ruqing was stupid for a while, and admired Fang Jingxuan, she was so far away from Rushan, how could she dare to conclude that Rushan's embroidered handkerchief had chili water?

Li Shi heard Fang Jingxuan's words, and suddenly returned to his senses, and killed Rushan like electricity, but Liu's mother was faster, and her slightly chubby body was also lightning fast, snatching the embroidered handkerchief that Rushan had at hand.

Poor Rushan, who was trying to hide the veil, was caught with both hands, and no matter how smart and clever she was, at this time, she could only have a miserable white face.

Ruqing could see clearly, Rushan's face did flash with a void, and Liu's mother, her face flashed hideous, she clasped Rushan's hands with both hands, but her mouth shouted: "Second girl, this embroidered handkerchief is the best product bought from Yingzi Fang, and our third girl's embroidered handkerchief has not been replaced for more than half a year." If the old woman remembers correctly, the second girl's embroidered handkerchief was newly bought recently, why, she got tired of it so quickly and wanted to throw it away? This is not good, the old woman follows his wife's side, and she also knows a little about the bottom of the Fang family, but she can't stand the waste of the second girl. ”

Ruqing applauded on the one hand: Jiang is still old and spicy, if he doesn't make a move, he will be fierce and ruthless, leaving no room for the enemy to breathe.

As soon as Mother Liu's words came out, ecstasy flashed on Li's face, and he sneered at Fang Jinglan, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said, "Mother Liu, give me the kind embroidered handkerchief." ”

No matter how hard Rushan tries, he can't compete with the strength of Liu's mother, who is five big and three thick. I saw Mother Liu's finger by finger break open the hand exposed by the green tendons, and after taking the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, Mother Liu's eyes were contemptuous, but she said in her mouth: "Second girl, the old woman is offended." The old woman is just acting on orders, and I hope that the second girl will not arrange the old woman in front of the master. As he spoke, he bowed humbly.

If it weren't for the occasional restrictions, Ruqing really wanted to laugh out loud, seeing Ruqing's miserable white face, and Liu's mother's black face with three hideous faces on the bottom of a pot, she said secretly, "I can't afford to be kind, but this Mrs. Liu can't afford to offend." Alas----"

Li Shi took the embroidered handkerchief, put it in his nose and smelled it, sneezed a lot, and even choked and coughed, although there was a suspicion of exaggeration, but she handed the embroidered handkerchief to Fang Jinglan with a smug face, and her tone was not without sarcasm, "This is the trick that the baby daughter who the master is proud of in the palm of his hand uses to deal with his mother's sister-in-law, the master himself smells it." ”

Fang Jinglan just looked at Rushan's miserable white face and Liu's mother's words to see Li's actions again, and he already understood a little bit in his heart, but when he saw Li's words at this moment, his head also fell off, holding an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with a pink plum pattern, and he didn't know what to do.

Ruzhen got up at this time, and her voice was faint: "Grandmother, father, aunt, aunt, I'm full, so I'll go back to the room first." He pulled Ruqing's hand and asked her to leave with her.

In fact, Ruqing still wants to continue watching, not only Linglong has a gossip mentality, but she is too.

However, if she is really the eldest sister, and she has always been smart, listen to her, it is right.

Fang Jingxuan also said: "Second brother, sister-in-law, your housework sister will not be reconciled, I will go back to the room to pack my luggage first." When passing by Li's side, he sighed softly, and said in a slight voice that everyone present could hear: "Sister-in-law, I finally understand your suffering now." ”

Li suddenly burst into tears, she had been in the Fang Mansion for more than ten years, and finally met her bosom friend.

The old lady also got up at this time, her voice was faint, but she was also full of energy, "I don't eat anymore, I'm full of gas." Hum! ”

The old lady didn't know who she was humming with that heavy hum, but Fang Jinglan's face burned badly.

*

"Big sister, what, what is this?" Ruqing stared blankly at the rosewood box handed over by Ruzhen, the box was not big, but it was extremely heavy, and Ruqing's grandmother's strength was barely able to hold it steady. Open the box and see, it is all a box of broken silver and paulownia boards, worn with hemp rope, such as Qingmu along the estimate, these paulownia boards are not to mention there are several hangings, broken silver add up to at least thirty taels of silver.

Just now she followed Ruzhen to her boudoir, and Ruzhen took out the box from the box and said that it was for her, how could she not be surprised.

Ruzhen said: "We sisters have a time, but we haven't really gotten along, and I will leave the house next year, and I don't know when and when I can see each other again." As a sister, there is nothing to give you, I see that although you usually eat and drink, it is also difficult to live on that little bit of silver every month. You can take this money, reward people in the future, and buy some items that can come in handy. ”

Although Ruqing loves money very much, Ruzhen's money moved her inexplicably, "Big sister, your sister has received it." However, this silver is also your own praise, and when you go to your mother-in-law's house in the future, you will have to make silver everywhere, so keep this silver for your own use. ”

Ruzhen smiled, "Don't worry, my dowry is thick, not bad for this silver." In fact, I don't have anything to worry about, since Aunt Zhang was raised as an aunt, and after my aunt entered the door again, my younger brothers and sisters were born one after another, and my feelings for this mother's family are really getting weaker and weaker. But fortunately, there is such a cute and painful little sister as you. ”

Ruqing was moved when she heard it, it turned out that she was not sad. At least, in this small Fang Mansion but full of intrigue and gang strife, there is still someone who cares about her so much.

Here, Ruzhen Ruqing is in the cousin's affection, and in the east wing of the Fang Mansion specially used to stay in the distinguished guests, the old lady and Fang Jingxuan are also affectionate to the cousin.

The old lady held her daughter's hand and sighed: "I know that you are for my good, but if you do this, won't you offend the Zhang mother and daughter?" Do you know how much your second brother values their mother and daughter? ”

Fang Jingxuan pursed his lips and sneered: "Mother, the so-called concubines are different, the evil is not enough, no matter how rampant the Zhang family is, it will never be able to go beyond the main room." After these observations, I also know a little about the children in the other country. If the three brothers and sisters are really not much to say, although Rumei is a little willful and rude, she is also true and true. is as good as this, hmph, even if she is only eight years old, it is not uncommon to marry into the palace as the daughter of a concubine. ”

Therefore, when Fang Jingxuan was standing in the position, he resolutely chose the Li family, who didn't seem to have much to do.

The old lady let out a long sigh, then said no more.

Fang Jingxuan said again: "Mother, although my second sister-in-law is a little stingy and selfish, she is not too bad. She is married to the Fang family, even if there is only one Rumei under her knees, her position as a wife is also stable. However, with Zhang's thorn in the head, she is disgusted from time to time, and I believe she has no time to calculate other things. Although the mother is relieved to show the majesty of her mother-in-law. If she dares to disrespect you, give her a good look. "Fang Jingxuan's so-called strength is the Zhang family who is weak but fierce in battle.

The old lady's eyes flashed with a fine light, he smiled, and patted her daughter's hand, "I really can't imagine that after getting married, this eye for people is so proficient." ”

Fang Jingxuan laughed, his smile was slightly bitter, "After more than ten years of trembling in my mother-in-law's house, if you don't learn some skills, then you will only be stepped on." ”
