Ruqing was lying in the room, the weather was a little stuffy, although the eight window lattices were opened, the room was still stuffy, Rumei had already slept unconscious, but she was so hot that she couldn't sleep for a while, although she was separated by the screen and curtain, but she also listened to the words of Li and Fang Jinglan for eight or nine minutes, thinking to herself, now Li is going to be so happy that she can't sleep for three days and three nights.

Fang Jinglan looked for Mr. Hu, how did he negotiate, Ruqing didn't know, only that after Fang Jinglan came back, his face was proud, and he flattered the Li family again, "Madame is really high-minded, Mr. Hu just refused to give up, but he couldn't stand the heavy promise of his husband, so he reluctantly agreed." However, Mr. Hu put forward some conditions, one is that when teaching the girls, the subordinates will all retreat and will not be allowed to wait. The second is not allowed to arrive late and leave early, making you squeamish. Therefore, Mrs. has to tell the girls that in front of Mr. Hu, don't be squeamish and perverse, and provoke Mr. Hu to look down on him. Although our family is not a powerful family, but the scholarly disciples, we can't tolerate the rampant buddies, the girls are pampered, especially the beauty, can the lady remember? In fact, what Fang Jinglan said was just Rumei, how could Li not know, but she was praised by him before, and the joy and sweetness had not receded, and she was not angry, she only responded with a smile.

After Fang Jinglan finished the problem of the girls' west seats, she felt that she had a heart, and she wanted to stay in Li's house that night, and was just lying down to go to bed, when she suddenly heard that the girl from Yiqingxuan came to report, saying that Aunt Zhang was seriously ill and asked the master to lie down.

Li sat up and wanted to yell back, but Liu's mother was extremely eye-catching, and hurriedly gestured to her secretly, Li Sheng suppressed his anger and asked the girl: "How sick is Aunt Zhang?" Does it matter? ”

Knowing that it was more serious, he was already lying on the bed in pain, Fang Jinglan hurriedly got up when he heard it, and was about to go over, but was stopped by Li Shi and said: "My lord is busy with official business, and he has to go to the office tomorrow, so he shouldn't stay up late." Let's rest first, it's the same with the concubine going to visit. ”

How dare Fang Jinglan let the Li family go alone, and hurriedly said that he would be in the past, and let the Li family rest, the Li family pretended to be angry, "Master, you don't trust me anymore?" That's good, go to the master, it's just that the expenses in this house are getting tighter, and Aunt Zhang doesn't have to see a doctor, and the master can get better of Aunt Zhang's illness by going alone. ”

Fang Jinglan was displeased, but it was not easy to repeat her, so he said with a smile: "What nonsense is Madame, how can you not trust you as a husband, but Aunt Zhang is unwell, how can she not see a doctor---

Li interrupted him: "Since you are sick, you have to see a doctor, there is no reason to ask the master to go over?" Hasn't Aunt Zhang always been known for being empathetic? How do you not know that the lord's official duties are important? When is this, and if you rush over again, do you want to rest? ”

Fang Jinglan was stunned for a while, and Li Shi said again: "Master rest first, the concubine will go over and take a look, if it is really serious, someone will be sent to inform the master." ”

Fang Jinglan thought about it and thought that this was good, but at this moment, it was indeed late at night, and after a tiring day outside, he came home and engaged in a mental movement with Mr. Hu, and he was already tired.

Li walked slowly on the way to Yiqingxuan, and the girl of Yiqingxuan on the side looked at Li from time to time, feeling uneasy.

Ruqing had already been woken up by the cry of the girl who was pleasantly excited, and she was eavesdropping on it at the moment, feeling that Li was not a tofu brain, she knew how to draw inferences, and she was not in vain to her "teaching" during the day, God knows, she had to ensure that she was as innocent as a five or six-year-old child, and she had to give Li a warning and make a crooked move, and she couldn't let Li see it, but she thought that children were childish words without brains, but she was inspired by house fighting, how difficult it was to play such a high level of difficulty.

But fortunately, the Li family realized the truth, and the level of house fighting has grown greatly, but unfortunately he can't take a look at the past, so he can only miss a good scene of a wife and concubine fight.

On the second day, Ruqing got up early, asked the Li family for peace, and inquired about some house gossip by the way. Li looked a little tired, but he was in good spirits, and it was estimated that he had won a big victory at Aunt Zhang's last night.

Later, Ruqing secretly probed Liu's mother's tone, only to learn how miserable Aunt Zhang was damaged.

Aunt Zhang is sick, very sick, but Li is quite a housewife, not only to her cold and warm, but also personally invited a doctor to see a doctor for her, and exempted her from asking for peace, and also made an exception to give her six taels of silver every month (generally the concubine's monthly silver is the same as that of the young lady, only two taels. In order to make Zhang's life and recuperate, Li also said to her: "You can take care of your illness, you don't have to worry about other things." I'll help you take care of the two children for the time being, and you don't have to wait, so I'll have me. Even if I can't wait, there is still Aunt Zhu. Then he ordered the mother-in-law and the maids to serve well, and not to wander outside if they had nothing to do.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang stole the chicken and couldn't lose the rice, Ruqing thought to herself, it is estimated that her intestines are repentant. I can't help but hold a tear of sympathy for her,

Li finally raised his eyebrows, and was naturally in a good mood, and he was also very lenient with Ruqing's mother and daughter. There are more and more mothers and housewives, no, because the girls are about to go to class, they have to make a few decent clothes for them.

On this day, the weather was fine, and Li led three brothers and four girls to the famous Yingzifang in Jinan City, ready to make new clothes for the children.

Three stone blue and blue brocade carriages, each pulled by a white horse, the first one was Li and Liu's mother, the four girls followed, and the brothers' carriages were behind.

After arriving at Yingzifang, Li got out of the car, and the four girls were helped out of the car by their respective girls, and really stepped on the grass pattern round pier of the pineapple wood on the ground, Sven got out of the car, and the beige embroidered plum blossom blossom moonflower skirt on her body swept a beautiful arc in the air and fell properly, faintly revealing white tube silk pants and embroidered bow shoes. It is worthy of being the daughter of the boudoir, with a beautiful posture and thousands of manners.

The remaining three children were all picked up by the mother-in-law. The first time I went out, the girls were all curiously looking around, looking here and there. Li was afraid that they would break the rules, so he reprimanded: "Don't look around, you have the appearance of a girl's house." "If you really don't need to say it in detail, you don't squint and follow Li's side, Rushan listened to Li's words, but she really didn't dare to look more, but a pair of eyes looked around, Rumei could listen to it, and looked at it from time to time, Ruqing was the same, but she didn't have the courage to carry it with Li, so she could only watch secretly.

The Zhili Zhiyi Zhilian in the back is not like a frog at the bottom of a well like the three girls because he is often taken out by his father to see the world.

Although the sons and girls of Fangfu are not dressed luxuriously, they are better than a grand style, Zhili is fourteen years old, Zhiyi is thirteen years old, although they are not very old, they all behave steadily, their expressions are introverted, they are not arrogant or impatient, they walk up, their eyes do not squint, and they turn a blind eye to the curious eyes on the side.

Zhilian was a little younger, only twelve or thirteen years old, although he also strutted like his brothers, but Ruqing found that this guy's nostrils were a little upside down, and his head was a little higher.

Look at Ruzhen again, Ruzhen is almost fifteen years old, slender, slim, a faction of atmospheric nature, walking smoothly, standard ladies and girls. And Rushan, after all, is at that age, no matter how much you learn to be true, it is a little worse. Rumei and Ruqing don't need to be said, they are both young, where are the rules to speak of, but after all, they are confined to the family as a daughter, and they are not much better, but they can't find fault with them.

Li secretly looked at the girls from other families, and then observed his own children, and nodded secretly, although they were not born in our wombs, but they always have the same surname, and their own children look more pleasing to the eye.

Yingzifang is the most famous cloth shop in Jinan City, the fabrics sold are all top-notch, and the styles and patterns of clothes are all the latest popular new styles, and many wealthy families in Jinan City almost all order clothes here, and the business is surprisingly good. Although Fang Mansion is not a big family, he can't afford to buy the best clothes, and he can't afford to hire the top embroiderers, but Fang Jinglan is an official, and the officials have been crushed to death for generations, although the Li family's budget for the children is about three hundred taels, among all the customers received by Yingzifang, it can only be regarded as the middle and low, but it has also been grandly received.

The shopkeeper of Yingzifang first praised the children with a flattering smile, and then praised Li's teaching well, and only Li's beautiful girl can teach such compliments. The shot was also generous, and he clearly said that he would let the girls choose some elegant and durable mid-range materials, but at this time he said to them: "Go and choose, choose what style you like, so that the mothers can do it." ”

In ancient times, the etiquette of men and women was very strict, and the brothers chose the materials outside, and the girls chose in the inner room. First of all, according to the order of age, the girls choose the materials by themselves.

Ruzhen chose a piece of beige Sujuan in a large pile of cloth, Rushan observed Ruzhen's selection on the side, the corners of his lips twitched, and he picked a piece of woven gold makeup satin, which was bright and magnificent. As Qing Zhi called satin, it is the richest high-end clothing in the clothing. Rumei chose the woven gold silk with the pattern of the sleeves, and when it was Ruqing's turn, she looked left and right at Ruzhen and Rumei's selection, and then looked at Li's face, and obediently took a young bud pigment.

Li Shi looked at the clothes selected by the four girls and smiled: "If it is really more stinky and beautiful than the other, and --- is more discerning than me, your color is too plain, why not choose some gaudy?" It doesn't make sense for a big girl to dress so plainly. ”

Ruzhen smiled: "Those colorful ones look dazzling to me." I still like vegetarian food. ”

Li said: "The old lady has always liked plain colors, and she dares to be affectionate, but you have also learned the old lady's temperament." Thinking of the old lady who never liked herself but would not dislike herself, Li's mood was a little complicated, and by the way, she also looked at Ruzhen with complicated eyes, "You are a tender flower bone with a bud, why don't you put on more makeup?" is plain all day long, but it doesn't look like Miss Fang's demeanor at all. ”

Ruzhen smiled: "Auntie's words are wrong, no matter what clothes I wear, can I lose my identity as Miss Fuyan?" Then his gaze swept over the good.

Rushan didn't say anything, and she didn't pay attention, but Ruqing, who was next to her, also heard a soft snort. Rumei was the most unpleasant to see Rushan, and she also spoke loudly: "The eldest sister is right, you are the young lady of the Fang Mansion, and you are most loved by your father.

We are sisters, but none of them can match you. ”

Ruqing nodded and echoed as usual, anyway, she was born from a concubine, and her identity was indeed not as good as Ruzhen, so she didn't have to teach it to be true. I just don't know if Rushan thinks the same way.

A few girls measured themselves in the room, and Li sat in the tea room outside and waited, and when the girls measured themselves out, they found that Li was talking warmly with a magnificent woman in the tea room.

Li beckoned to the four girls and said with a smile, "Girls, come over and see your cousin." ”

This cousin was born very handsome, bent eyebrows, about 30 years old, wearing gold silk eight treasures to save gold beads, wearing a flying fairy bun, Chaoyang five phoenix big pearl branches fishing for a jade, flashing dazzling brilliance, red gold plate glass circle on the neck, pine flower color butterfly wearing flower carved silk gown, all over the gold branch pick gold silk moon skirt, skirt tied with pine flower color palace silk auspicious Ruyi lily Pei, a pair of red phoenix eyes, two curved willow eyebrows, white and tender, graceful posture. Sitting on the back chair of Huanghuali Yuan, looking at the four girls with a smile on his face.

Ruzhen led the three sisters to meet one by one, although the woman had a smile on her face, her expression was light and moderate, not too warm, not too detached.

The woman smiled at the four girls and said, "I don't have any money on me, but this bracelet for you as a gift." As he spoke, he took off the silver and gold silk double buckle bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Ruzhen, seeing that Ruzhen's eyebrows were picturesque and his expression was clear, he couldn't help but like it, and he took a blue dot decorated with roses and beads from his head to her. Rewarded the good gold lily pendant, such as the beauty of two cloisonne red Shanhu earrings and silver magpie beads, such as the smallest of the sunny, only a Tenghua jade pendant.

Ruqing looked like Ruqing, blessed her, saluted, and said, "Ruqing, thank you Aunt Cousin for rewarding." Then he took the jade pendant and retreated to Rumei's side. Taking advantage of the fact that Li and the woman were not paying attention to the conversation, they looked at the jade pendant in their hands, and the reward of truthfulness, beauty and kindness, and couldn't help but think secretly: if the truth and beauty are from the heirs, they will be rewarded with double shares, and they are still valuables, and she and Rushan are only rewarded with one piece, and Rushan is better, and her gilded lily pendant is much more valuable than her own decorative jade pendant. I have to admire this woman's clear eyes, but after a little look, I can find out their identity as concubines.

Ruqing saw that this woman was dressed and dressed, and her demeanor was speaking, and Li was quite flattering, thinking to herself, it is estimated that she is a noble lady of an official family, and her rank is not low.

Ruqing guessed correctly, this woman is actually the head of the Yongle Bo Mansion in the capital, the Yun family, Yongle Bo is the hereditary earl's family, this woman's family background is not simple, the military department is the second daughter, compared with Fang Jinglan, a small five-grade official, it is not the same.

I heard that this Yun family is a distant cousin of the Li family's mother's family, and he has not moved for many years, and the Li family is not familiar with the Yun family's boudoir, but it is better than the slightest in-law relationship. When they met by chance, they were as close as sisters. Talking and laughing along the way, the two sides introduced their respective girls and boys to meet each other.

Yun's knees have an only son, surnamed Jiang Yunran, Ziwen, fourteen or fifteen years old, born with a delicate face, long body and jade, gentle and fluttering, a white dress with gold thread piping robe, lined with face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, hair on the top of the inlaid treasure purple gold crown, Ele gem wipe forehead, gold glass on the neck, feet on the dark cloud button sheepskin boots, waist bean green palace silk flower jade pendant, the whole person looks magnificent and expensive, a handsome and handsome son.
