40 The abacus of each man's heart
Jiang Yunran knew that his mother was usually very strict with him, and he would ask him like this, not to listen to his own opinions, but to shield the four girls from the other party according to his own ideas, Jiang Yunran had always disliked his mother's style, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only look respectful, and said with a solemn expression: "If the true cousin is knowledgeable, even the old lady is true." Rushan cousin, clever and smart, quite a talented woman reputation. Rumei's cousin is innocent and lively, Ruqing's cousin ---" Jiang Yunran couldn't remember what that Ruqing looked like for a while, firstly, she was a concubine, and secondly, she had been hiding behind several sisters, Jiang Yunran couldn't remember it for a while, so she could only say: "The child really can't remember what she looks like." ”
When Yun heard this, his son's words were similar to those of his mother-in-law's house to a few cousins before, so he relieved himself, and then said a few words of bitter warning: "I heard that Mr. Hu is very famous, but unfortunately he refuses to associate with the powerful. Therefore, I can only respond to your cousin's aunt's invitation and wronged you to live in the Fang Mansion for three or two years. Mr. Hu has great rules, but he has the ability, you have to study hard, and you must not be distracted by other things. The Fangfu brothers can study in the same room with you, and after the palace examination, they have to leave the Fangfu and return to Beijing. In the Fang Mansion, you can get all the etiquette, don't do anything that insults the disciples of Yongningbo. Do you understand? ”
Jiang Yunran looked solemn and replied respectfully: "Mother rest assured, the child will live up to the expectations of his father and mother, and he will study well and have nothing to worry about." ”
Yun Shi had a warm look at this time, and said: "You have been sensible since you were a child, and you don't need your parents to worry about it at all." I'm quite relieved to hand you over to the Fang Mansion this time. I'm just worried that the flies next to you don't have to disturb your hard work--- so let's make more small friends to call you, and then I will also give you Mother Sun and Licao to take care of your diet and daily life, Mama Sun has her own set of rules and regulations for dealing with wild flies, and she is by your side to protect me, I can sit back and relax. ”
Jiang Yunran knew his mother's thoughts, and he was a little annoyed, but he knew his mother's temper, and if he refuted and protested, it would make it worse, so he could only accept his life.
Seeing that his son was so obedient, Yun put his heart at ease, got up, straightened the stone blue and hazy chrysanthemum on his body, picked up the gold thread collar jacket, patted his son's shoulder, and told him to rest, then paced and walked out.
When he was at the door, the Yun clan stopped again, turned around, the red gold inlaid with gems on his head trembled slightly, flashing awe-inspiring brilliance, and said lightly: "I heard just now that the second lady of Fang Fu is practicing quyi, can I listen to it?" ”
Jiang Yunran thought about it carefully, "It seems that I have been playing for a while, but my skills are jerky, and my cousin is young ---, which is desirable." ”
Yun Shi looked at his son's expression carefully, and saw that his expression was as usual, and there were no ripples, so he let go of his heart, nodded slightly, and left.
Back in his own house, the Yun family instructed his grandmother and grandmother to tell some important things, and the grandmother responded one by one, patting her chest to the Yun family and reassuring, "Madame can rest assured, as long as my wife is here, whether it is a house flower or a wild flower, a wild fly or a flower butterfly, the old woman has her own set of methods, packaging them all to be eliminated." ”
Yun laughed, "Although my cousin Li is a little greedy, she is still self-aware, and you can know a thing or two just by looking at her talking to me today." My cousin-in-law is also a wonderful person, he knows how to advance and retreat, Yunran is right, but he also knows how to be an official, and he can make some convenience with them. It's just that I'm afraid that some people will have some thoughts---" Speaking of this, Yun's expression turned cold, and he instructed his grandmother: "Tomorrow, you go and inquire about the behavior of the girls in this Fangfu." Especially the two girls. ”
Grandma Sun knew her wife's scruples, and she was busy responding, and then said: "Madam, my wife has been with Madame for many years, and this vision of people has also learned to become eight or nine, in my opinion, the eldest girl also knows how to advance and retreat, and Madame does not need to prevent crimes." The third girl and the fourth girl are still young, so there is nothing to worry about, but the two girls are not a simple thing. ”
Yun snorted lightly, "I brought you to Yun Ran's side to prevent her." Hmph, the concubine of a five-grade petty official also wants to climb my house, and she is not qualified to be a concubine. ”
Grandma Sun didn't dare to answer, so she could only guess, "The old lady of the Fang family, the old lady knows how to advance and retreat, why are these two girls so ---?"
Yun sneered: "Who knows? It's impossible for the Li family's sister, and the old lady may not have this thought. But I heard that the second girl is my cousin-in-law's favorite daughter, isn't it----"
Grandma Sun said: "The master of the Fang family should not be, if you really want to climb our family, you can let the eldest girl come forward, the second girl is so young, and another concubine comes out, she knows Gao Pan at a young age, so it is not to be underestimated." ”
Yun thought that when he first saw Rushan yesterday, the little girl was quite flattering in front of him, and he smiled slightly: "According to what you say, those two girls are really high-spirited." So Grandma Sun, if you follow the world, you have to keep an eye on her for me, don't make trouble for me. ”

In other words, Liu's mother received Li's order to let Rushan rest, so as not to tire up her body, Rushan was also obedient, and really cleaned up the piano and went back to the house to sleep. However, the next day, the subordinate in Fang's mansion who was in charge of purchasing and guarding the warehouse was called to Yiqingxuan, saying that there were not enough teacups here, and asked him to go to the warehouse to get a few more sets.
The man replied, "The keys to the treasury are in the care of my wife, and I will not dare to take them without her approval." ”
Aunt Zhang said, "Then you can go outside and buy it, remember, I want blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen." ”
After the man left, Rushan came out of the back room, with red eyes, and glared at Zhang, "Why didn't my mother send someone to call my father and ask my father to teach me a lesson to the slave who didn't have long eyes?" ”
Zhang sighed, "My son, I mentioned this matter to your father last night, and I was abused by your father. It's better to cover your Fuqin tightly when you were reprimanded by Mrs. Liu, if your father knows, he will definitely not be on your side. ”
Rushan was so annoyed that he stomped his feet, "Daddy, what do you mean by this?" He personally invited me in for me, and he didn't allow me to play the piano? ”
Aunt Zhang's face was stunned, and she said in a low voice: "My son is not going to make a noise, there is a Mrs. Bofu and the prince of Bofu in our house, according to my mother's wishes, I want you to gamble, maybe the son of the world will take a fancy to you and hire you as the wife of the prince." But this glorious ancestor thing made your father reprimand him for being incompetent, and strictly ordered the girl not to take in that son. I'm really. Your father is conservative and doesn't want to be inferior to others, but my son, a mortal woman, a woman is expensive by virtue of her son, and if you marry high, your mother can also be polished, and you can also make those over there dare not look down on us anymore. You're beautiful yourself, aren't you? ”
Rushan nodded, she has always been precocious, and she thinks clearly, although everything in the house is similar to the other two sisters-in-law, but her identity is really low, she has always been arrogant, and she wants to reverse this situation, but she also knows that it is not enough to rely on her father's favor, and she has to find a thick and powerful husband to support. She was very satisfied with Na Jiang Shizi, whether it was character, talent, or family background, she was all top-notch, so she moved her mind. However, she was suppressed by her wife after only a little thought, how could she not be angry? felt that his wife couldn't take the girl on the stage to please Mrs. Yongningbo, so he only thought about suppressing her. Last night, although Mrs. Liu said that she was polite to herself, and she didn't say anything serious, but when she heard it in her ears, she just didn't go well, and she felt that the second girl of the dignified mansion was actually reprimanded by a subordinate, how could she swallow this breath?
Zhang's hugged Rushan distressedly, "My son, my mother knows that you are wronged. But who called your mother a useless, committed to being a concubine with your father, this is subject to others everywhere, so my son, my mother's hope depends on you. You can't play the piano at night, let's learn more during the day, and see what reason the surnamed Li can find to stop you. The most important thing is to let Mrs. Najiang know that our family is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a rare talent. Even if Mrs. Jiang doesn't like you, she must praise you when she returns to Beijing, which is much better than going out to praise yourself. Do you understand? Rushan nodded, of course she understood, and understood very well.
