Ruqing held Mrs. Shen's hand with a touched face, "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the people will ---see people's hearts for a long time" Before Ruqing could speak, Mrs. Shen interrupted her, "Don't be moved, the old woman is old, and Mrs. doesn't need me at all." So ---"

"---" asked the sky speechlessly, three black lines appeared on the forehead of Ruqing, and looked at Linglong with blank eyes, Linglong lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and said: "It's just a second-class girl who survives to death in Mrs., it's different next to the girl, I'm a veteran,"

Ruqing was stunned at first, and then had to give a thumbs up and shout "Tough!" It's really too powerful, and you have such a long-term vision at such a young age. ”

However, although she was discouraged in her heart, Ruqing still found a little comfort, at least she was not a bare-bones commander, there were always long-term people who were willing to follow her, although she couldn't prove anything, she could always say that she was still some distance away from the garbage stock. Ruqing comforted herself like this, and then, leading her own men and horses, under the congratulations of many maids in Wulan Pavilion, she went to Songhe Courtyard with high spirits, high and arrogant--- and went to Songhe Courtyard in a gloomy manner.

*

Songhe Courtyard is the most extensive and the best courtyard in Fangfu, the old lady's boudoir is the daughter of pampering and worrying, although married to Fangfu, it is still a group of servants, plus a cadre of people in the real house, Songhe Courtyard has lived nearly 30 people inside and out. This time, Ruqing moved in again, and brought Shen Pozi again, Linglong, and she was a little tight.

Finally, at the suggestion of the Xia Lin family, the old lady split the bath room in the wing room of her bedroom, and asked the mason to open the doors and windows, and then whitewashed, and a small boudoir was formed.

There were too many things that the Li family moved from Wulan Pavilion, and Ruqing's small boudoir couldn't fit it at all, so in the end, the old lady gave an order and put another small and practical furniture in it.

Li Shi looked at the bill handed to him by the guy who sent the furniture, although it is not the top red sandalwood, wenge, but it is also a good nanmu, elm, home and also complete, and exquisite workmanship, the screen alone has an interstitial screen, a fence screen, a furnace screen, a bottle holder, etc., as well as a lamp stand, a washing stand, a hanger, a foot pedal, etc. Round stools, kang tables, coffee tables, bookcases. Bookcases, wardrobes, top cabinets, bright cabinets, treasure chests, and even beds were bought in two sets, a shelf bed and a flat couch. These pieces of furniture alone cost nearly two hundred taels of silver, and Li's flesh was in pain, and he suddenly felt that letting Ruqing live in Songhe Courtyard would not only not save money, but would also spend a lot, and his face was a little green.

The old lady couldn't see what Li was thinking, and said: "Although the Qing girl is a concubine, the specifications are not as beautiful as the truth, but after all, she is the master's own flesh and blood, and the expenses are all from the officials." The wife doesn't have to hold on to the money and feel unhappy. ”

Li Shi was told that he was in his heart, his face was scornful, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "What did the old lady say?" The daughter-in-law is not distressed about the silver, but thinks that the room of the girl is so small, so many furniture moved in, I am afraid it will not be able to fit, again, the old lady has bought so much furniture, and I can't use it when I move it out, so I can only pile it into the warehouse, but the warehouse is also full of sundries, and the daughter-in-law is in trouble for a while, so many furniture that is not needed, where to put it? But these are all high-quality materials, isn't it a waste to put it on hold for a long time? ”

Ruqing lowered her head, and the Li family accused the old lady of buying so much furniture in and out of words, which was simply a waste of silver.

The old lady said lightly: "There is still a vacant lot behind the Yisong Courtyard, and the master has invited a mason to start construction on a certain day, preparing to expand the Yisong Courtyard, and then these furniture can come in handy." ”

Li was taken aback, "What? The lord wants to expand the Yisong Temple? So, why is that? Yisong Courtyard is so spacious, is it too small? ”

The old lady was not in a very good mood today, but Li pursed her lips in this repeated questioning, and she didn't want to say any more. On the other hand, Ruzhen replied for the old lady, "Auntie, don't you know? The second brother will hold a coming-of-age ceremony the year after tomorrow, and after the weak crown ceremony, he will start a family with Miss He's family, and the second brother lives alone in Yisong Courtyard, of course, it is spacious, but this is more than one person, it is too crowded. ”

Li Shi was stunned, but he resigned, "But there are still so many empty houses in Yisong Courtyard, but there is one more person to live in, you can also live, why bother to start construction in this way, how troublesome?" Li just didn't want to spend money, she finally saved some money from the official for a private house, and the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment had not passed, and she had to break the bank again. How big is this expansion, and how much money will it cost?

Ruzhen saw Li talking like this, she was also a little angry, but she rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if there is only one more person to live, of course it is enough to live, but my future brother and daughter-in-law, the disciple is not low, just to accompany the mother-in-law and Yahuan Linlin, there are a total of seven more people, how can this Yisong Courtyard be enough to live." ”

The Li family stayed for a while, and had to accept the fact that Yijun Courtyard was about to expand, but then muttered, "This Miss He family is inevitably too pompous, just her, so many ---- to dowry."

The old lady finally couldn't help it anymore and scolded: "Do you still have the face to talk about others? When you married into the Fang Mansion back then, didn't you also bring a whole seven dowry girls? ”

Li froze and couldn't help but retort, "That's different, these girls of mine have all passed through **, they are knowledgeable and courteous, and they are diligent in their work---"

"The He family is a family of eunuchs who have been hairpins for generations, and the descendants who come out of high-ranking families are also three points more decent than ordinary people. You're still disgusted?? ”

Li shouted that he was wronged, and hurriedly said that he didn't have any idea at all, just talking about it for a while.

The old lady snorted coldly and stopped talking, Li was bored with self-deprecation, and his heart was not happy, so he hurriedly said a few words.

After Li left, the old lady snorted heavily, still angry, "Look at what she tightens the silver like, fortunately she only gave birth to a beautiful one, if she gives birth to a son, then it will be repaid." ”

Ruzhen hurriedly comforted the old lady, "Grandmother, aunt is a little stingy, but on the whole it is not bad." Grandmother, don't be angry, ah! ”

The old lady sighed heavily, and said: "I'm worried about your brothers and sisters, this motherless child is pitiful, the dowry left by your mother is divided into three parts, and your brothers and sisters can't share much, and your aunt's share doesn't want to use a cent, although the Fang family's family is quite generous, but over the years, the government has been spending more and more, only in and out, but the flowers of Zhang's mother and son are increasing day by day, and it is about to be revealed." You are considered to be a high marriage, this dowry can't be too shabby, just because of this, your father and I are still worried. ”

Ruzhen blushed slightly, and then turned pale, "Grandmother, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is the marquis's house after all, is it possible, and the dowry of the rare granddaughter is not successful?" Grandmother, don't worry about her granddaughter. You can't empty your family just because of your granddaughter, there are so many brothers and sisters in the family, grandmother, you can't ignore them because I'm alone, right? ”

The old lady sighed softly, lovingly grabbed Ruzhen's hand and patted it gently, "A real girl is sensible, I haven't hurt you in vain all these years." Then his face turned pale, "Don't worry, your dowry will not be less than yours." You can embroider your wedding dress with peace of mind. Don't worry about anything else. ”

Ruzhen stomped her feet shyly, shy and angry, Ruqing also smirked and clapped her hands at the right time, "Big sister is shy, big sister is shy." ”

Ruzhen pink and red like blood, and finally couldn't help but make a gesture to beat Ruqing, Ruqing ran into the old lady's arms while saying mercy, and shouted, "Grandmother help, ancestral life---- the eldest sister was annoyed and angry. ”

Ruqing's soft little body crashed into the old lady's arms, the small body kept drilling around, the old lady took advantage of the situation to hold her into her arms, and then made a gesture to hit her as if it were true, and scolded with a smile: "What a faceless and skinless one, your sister is right, you are annoyed and ashamed." ”

Ruzhen became more and more embarrassed, muttered, stomped his feet and scolded: "Grandmother, you also bullied me." Then he covered his face and hid back in his room.

The old lady laughed loudly, her voice was hearty, full of energy, Ruqing thought to herself, laughter can shake the house, I believe that it is no problem to live for another twenty years, although the new unit is not too much oil and water, but as the saying goes: the official university crushes people to death. With the old lady, the supreme leader of the Fang family, covering her, I believe that her future life should be very good.

After the old lady laughed enough, she saw Ruqing biting her fingers in a pensive manner, and couldn't help but be curious, patted her face, and asked, "Qing girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Ruqing came back to her senses and said seriously: "The girls around my mother are saying that I will follow my grandmother in the future, and I will definitely eat fragrant and spicy food, but, grandmother, can I only eat fragrant food and not drink spicy food?" ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does the girl think?" ”

Ruqing replied seriously: "Grandmother, can you give me spicy food, my granddaughter can't eat spicy food." ”

The old lady looked at Ruqing for a long time, and it took a long time before she burst out laughing, pinching Ruqing and pushing and hugging, until the tears came out of her eyes, and she laughed while holding her stomach, "You little girl, you really laugh at me, do you know what fragrant and spicy is?" ”

Ruqing puffed out her cheeks, very unconvinced, of course she knew, but she was a seven-and-a-half-year-old child, just an innocent age, why should she be like Rushan, pretending to be mature and steady, pretending to be smart and clever.

Ruqing thinks about it, if she is really stable and generous, she can't do it, if she is good, intelligent and clever, if she is beautiful and arrogant and willful, she will pretend to be innocent and innocent, in front of the old lady, she should be able to eat!
