Agarwood said again: "Our girl is a jade-like character, and the door is not out of the door." It's easy not to see outsiders. Even if you want to meet guests, you only see some women in the backyard, and it is good to save the snow, and let the girls run to the front yard to meet guests. This person is even more powerful, what is it to say that Bang Xue is in front of the guests, and our girl has to go, what kind of reason is this? She doesn't want to be embarrassed, she doesn't want a reputation, and she dares to drag our girl into the water, which is really unreasonable. ”

The girl was scolded so that she fell to the ground and couldn't speak for a long time, Chaoyun was also blindfolded, thinking that she and Bang Xue were both entertaining guests in the front yard before, and no one said anything, but now listening to Agarwood say this, she actually committed such a big thing, and her heart was also uneasy.

At this time, another girl came in from outside, and it turned out that Bang Xue saw that Ruqing had not appeared for a long time, so she sent another girl to invite Ruqing. As soon as the girl entered the door, she saw her good sister kneeling on the ground, her cheeks red and swollen, her hair messy, and the corners of her lips bleeding.

Agarwood stared at her coldly and shouted, "What's the matter?" Say it. ”

The little girl was startled and hurriedly said, "Bi Tao has been here for a long time, but she still hasn't seen the girl's shadow." The slave maid was ordered by Mrs. Xue to come to Cui to urge the girl again. Girl, can you move to the front room? Mrs. Xue said that these two ladies were distinguished guests, and they should not be neglected. ”

Agarwood sneered: "The guest is a distinguished guest, and you can't be lazy." Then our girl has to obediently go to the front yard to let her see? ”

"Alright, Agarwood." Ruqing finally spoke, "You ask the waiter to tell Zhou's mother, let her go to the front yard to lie down, and lead the guests to Heying Pavilion in the backyard, and I will go over immediately." ”

Agarwood hurriedly received the order and asked the waiter to call Zhou's mother.

Ruqing got up and got off the kang, Linglong Yuqin hurriedly waited for her to put on her shoes, draped in a hat, and then took a warm water bag, Ruqing ordered while putting on her shoes, "Let people put a charcoal stove in Heyingge, and then quickly clean it up, don't let the dust get on the chair and table." Although my brother has not married a wife, there is no one in charge of the backyard, but he can't tolerate such a cold heart. "Let Agarwood tell you to go down, go through the tea, go to the kitchen to find some melons and fruits, and bring them to Heyingge.

Agarwood took the order with full of anger, and before leaving, Linglong also glanced at Chaoyun and the two girls with a special look.

After Ruqing got dressed, she smiled at Chaoyun, "There are guests at home, and my sister-in-law will also accompany me to greet them." ”

Chaoyun saw that Ruqing gave orders in an orderly manner, not at all like her and Bang Xue, once the guests came to the house, they looked nervous and hurried, seeing that Ruqing was so calm and calm, she also calmed down. Seeing that Ruqing had a threat just now, she didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, and respectfully followed behind her, and went to the backyard hall and Ying Pavilion together.

In order to show respect for the guests, Ruqing personally sent agarwood to greet the guests at the weeping flower gate, Chaoyun followed all the way, Ruqing came to Heying Pavilion, at this time there were already two girls who were holding rags to wipe the dust on the table inside, it was Lan Yin and Qingluan. After a while, two more girls came in with a stove, one girl put an incense block in the stove, and the other girl took tongs and stirred the stove, and got some charcoal into it, and a wisp of fragrance that seemed to be like a husband was stringed to the nose, and the musty smell in the house was immediately dissolved.

Ruqing frowned, looked around, and said to Chaoyun: "Isn't there anyone to take care of it at ordinary times?" So much dust. ”

Chaoyun lowered his head embarrassedly, "It's all our negligence. ”

Ruqing snorted softly in her heart, and a guest came to the house, regardless of gender, age, and young to greet him in the front yard, so these two never took He Yingge seriously, and there was dust everywhere. Although there are people who sprinkle and sweep at ordinary times, it is estimated that they are extremely unserious. The places that can be seen are clean, but there are many gray stains in some dead corners and cracks on the table ride.

Under the announcement, Mrs. Cha and Mrs. Lu entered the Heying Pavilion, followed by Bang Xue.

Ruqing got up to greet her, "The two ladies came from afar, Ruqing missed the welcome, and the lady had a lot of Haihan." Then they gave the two of them a blessing ceremony, and the two ladies hurriedly helped each other with their hands.

Mrs. Cha said: "Miss Fang, don't be polite, let's disturb the smell and disturb the quiet of Miss, it is no longer right." Please Haihan, it should be us. ”

Ruqing smiled: "What did Madam say?" General Cha General Lu and my brother are robes, everyone serves the court together, they are born and died, and they treat each other with all sincerity, which ordinary people can never compare. When the two ladies came to the door, they should be treated with courtesy. Brother Nai He has not yet married a wife, there is no person in the family who presides over the feed, and the servants in the family are all useless, but they are neglecting the two. Ruqing first pleaded guilty to the two ladies on behalf of her brother. ”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly helped Ruqing, "Girl, don't say that." My lord has always admired General Fang's personality. In peacetime, he and General Fang are also brothers and sisters, and they have cordial contacts. This time, when I heard that General Fang's sister came to Datong, my master and I were very excited, thinking that General Fang was young and old, and he was handsome and energetic, so my sister must not be far behind. Now look at it, ouch, the sister of the Cha family, you see, you see, Miss Fang's character, this appearance, this bearing, looking at the whole Datong, how can I find the second one. ”

Mrs. Cha also laughed and said, "No, the old man of the Fang family is really blessed to have such an outstanding child." ”

Ruqing smiled very shyly, "Don't say that, two ladies, the sea in the capital is better than me, which is my turn to fill this number." I heard that Mrs. Lu also has a daughter under her knees, I heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also born cute and exquisite. ”

Mrs. Lu laughed so much that she didn't see her eyebrows, and said some more words, when she suddenly remembered something, and patted her head: "Look at me, I only care about talking to the girl, but I forget to get down to business." Saying that, the girl came in with a long sandalwood box, took it, and presented it to Ruqing with both hands, "My lord and General Fang are friends in the New Year, and Miss Fang is our sister-in-law, well, this is a little gift from my sister-in-law to you." You have to take it. Then he couldn't help but press the wooden box on Ruqing's hand.

Ruqing was stunned, looked at the heavy box, and exclaimed in her heart: "Could it be that this is the legendary bribe?" ”

Mrs. Cha saw that Mrs. Lu was like this, and she also did the same, so that the girl presented a square box and handed it to Ruqing, Ruqing couldn't figure out what the relationship between Zhiyi and the men of the two people was, if it was intimate, it would be okay to accept it, in case it was just a general relationship, so it would be inappropriate to keep it and accept it. For the sake of insurance, it is appropriate to resolutely accept it.

But these two people are determined to give out the gift, Ruqing resigned to no avail, so she had to give up, thinking in her heart, take care of him, take it first, and wait for Zhiyi to come back.

Next, Ruqing and the two ladies sat in the side hall of Heying Pavilion, separated by a few small carved swallow wings and incense wood, chatting for a while, Chaoyun and Bang Xue stood behind Ruqing, and saw Ruqing sitting and chatting with the two ladies casually, and the four of them stood behind her, and from time to time they went up to the front to pour tea and water. Because he is just Zhiyi's identity as a roommate, his identity is not qualified, so he doesn't dare to sit down, but he stands like this, and he feels faceless, and his heart is mixed.

Bang Xue couldn't see Mrs. Cha, who was still polite and respectful to her just now, but Mrs. Lu didn't look at her at the moment, only talked to Ruqing, and her tone was quite flattering, especially seeing that these two people were piles of expensive gifts as soon as they made a move, but what they gave to themselves was only some first-face jewelry that was not useful. There is no resentment in my heart, and there are more grievances. It's a pity that she interjected several times, but no one paid attention to her, and the two ladies of Charu only cared about talking to Ruqing as if she didn't exist in their eyes.

Especially when Mrs. Lu saw that the girls around Ruqing were all well-behaved, she couldn't help but praise them, and she couldn't miss the opportunity, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu doesn't know, although the fourth girl is not the master's sister-in-law, but she is very good to the fourth girl." Look, as soon as the four girls came, our house changed a lot, and it was all according to the preferences of the four girls. Let's enjoy it. ”

Agarwood Linglong glared at her viciously, as if she was going to eat her raw. Chaoyun looked worried, and secretly pulled her sleeve, but was thrown away by Bang Xue, she looked at Ruqing defiantly, but her face was very bright, "To be honest, we still have to thank the fourth girl for coming." Before the four girls came, the old man always advocated simplicity, which caused all of us to live a poor life. Now that the four girls came, the house changed greatly, and all the delicious and fun outside went to the house, and we also enjoyed the blessings. Hehe----"

Ruqing smiled faintly, "I don't like to hear what my sister-in-law says. My brother loves me and is willing to present the best to me, which is a piece of my brother's heart for my sister. Why did it change in the eyes of my sister-in-law? She stared at Bang Xue, her eyes were blazing, but her tone was soft: "Is it possible, as a sister, you can only live with your subordinates if you live in her brother's house?" ”

Ruqing's words were a bit heavy, and she couldn't hold her face, Ruqing was sarcastic, she was just a subordinate.

Mrs. Lu smiled and smiled at Ruqing: "General Fang and the girl are really brother and sister. "Mrs. Lu is young, her mother's family is very ordinary, how do you know the twists and turns here, I really think that Bang Xue is just complimenting Ruqing.

Mrs. Cha is old, and she has been in the house for decades, so she immediately heard the taste, looked at Bang Xue quietly, and then looked at Ruqing in surprise, and thought a few times in her heart, and laughed a few words.

Ruqing entertained the two ladies with tea and ate melons and fruit snacks, and the two watched the melons and fruits presented by Lan Yin and others all served on various good-looking porcelain plates, apples, pears, and melons were cut into thin slices, and a carved silver toothpick was inserted on the top, and then brown brown sugar was poured on the top, and the fruit was pierced with a silver skewer, and then dipped in brown sugar, but it also really hooked the appetite.

Mrs. Cha praised her again, saying that these girls are really good.

Ruqing said modestly: "Where, these girls are doing well, it's all the credit of grandmother." ”

Then everyone discussed the opinions and techniques of the ** subordinates, and what Ruqing said was very implicit, in fact, basically nothing was said. At this time, someone rushed in from outside, it was a middle-aged woman, she quickly picked up the felt and walked straight to Bang Xue, "Mrs. Rinxue, Lord Jing is here." ”

Bang Xue was taken aback, hurriedly looked solemn, and asked, "Really?" That didn't make anyone wait, so I went over at once. ”

"Wait." Ruqing stopped Bang Xue, "Although Lord Jing is in a high position, he is always a foreign man." My sister-in-law is a woman, how can I meet a foreign man in such a grand manner? ”

Bang Xue froze, her face was swollen red, and in front of the two ladies, she couldn't help but refute: "According to what the girl said, there are guests at home, is it possible to drive people out of the door based on etiquette?" ”

Ruqing said slowly: "Let the subordinates wait first, and then send someone to inform my brother." Prince Jing's heavenly figures, who don't know these basic etiquette, sister-in-law doesn't have to blame herself, Prince Jing won't blame his sister-in-law for neglecting him. ”
