On the second day, Ruqing, who was sleeping soundly, was called out by Mrs. Shen, "Fourth girl, get up quickly, the master has come to see you." ”

Ruqing couldn't sleep all night last night for the good things that were so good that she couldn't sleep, and she fell asleep in a daze at the dawn of dawn. Although she didn't want to get up, she couldn't do it, she couldn't destroy the image of a well-behaved daughter in Fang Jinglan's eyes, so she had to force her sleepiness and get up from the warm quilt pot, and Mrs. Shen and Linglong helped her get dressed.

Since the last time Xia Zhu and the others were notified by Ruqing, except for the Shen Pozi who did his duty and the obedient Linglong, the rest of the people were all dismissed by the Li family, and at present, Ruqing has only one mother-in-law and a Linglong who is two years older than her waiting for her.

Linglong's hands and feet are diligent, and she does things in a hurry, and she can't see Ruqing's slow movements, so she pulled the clothes on hand of Mrs. Shen, while looking for clothes from the red lacquered cypress Lang Enamel Yunyi pattern cabinet, "The master is finally willing to pay attention to the girl, but you have to wear a little spirit." "Said that I have taken a couple-colored placket round neck embroidered with gold branch makeup satin, silver silk royal blue bright purple embroidered moire stand-up collar clothes, exquisite workmanship, novel style, exquisite embroidery, is like the treasure of the shock cabinet in the wardrobe.

Mrs. Shen prevented her from putting it on with Ruqing, "This is only worn by girls when they go out or when they come to the house, and there are no guests in the house today, so it's better to put it away." so as not to break it. ”

Linglong puffed out her cheeks and said, "But the girl in this dress is in good spirits." In fact, as long as the girl is willing to dress up, she is no worse than the second girl---"

Shen Pozi glared at a pair of carp eyes and scolded: "You have a lot of eyes, our girl is not like you, she loves to climb and compare, this person, it is still important to live your own life." ”

"But---" Linglong was not convinced, Ruqing hurriedly interrupted her, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mother Shen is right, why do you want to compare and compare?" I have a few or two of my own, and I know that I don't need others to affirm it. Linglong, take your clothes away and put them back. ”

Linglong stomped her feet, feeling that her girl really didn't understand her heart at all, so she puffed out her face and put her clothes back. Standing in front of the closet, watching Mrs. Shen's old hands slowly dressing with Ruqing.

Ruqing is young, the clothes of this ancient person are not good to wear, what about Mrs. Shen, people are old, and their hands and feet are slow, and the two of them get around, and it is not easy to dress neatly, but it also takes a lot of time.

Linglong sighed secretly, secretly hated herself for being soft-hearted, and endured her anger to fetch water to wash Ruqing's face, while complaining about Mrs. Shen, "Mother Shen is really, you usually do things so fast, why are you so slow today?" You know that today's old man specially came from Aunt Zhang to visit the fourth girl. ”

Shen Pozi's eyes shrank when she heard this, and she glanced at Ruqing quickly, and saw that she had no expression, so she closed her eyes and said slowly: "What's the hurry?" This girl's family is expensive, and when the father comes to visit his daughter, he must let the girl dress properly before he can go out. ”

Linglong glared, and couldn't help but raise her voice, "I think you are uneasy and kind, you know that our girl is a concubine and you don't want to serve with all your heart, now that the master attaches importance to the girl, you will drag the girl back, you --- who is attached to the flames."

"Linglong!" Ruqing stopped her, and then slowed down her voice under Linglong's unwilling gaze, "I know that you are a loyal protector, but you should know my situation and identity in this Fang Mansion, and it is not enough to be loyal to the lord. Then his voice gradually lowered so that he could only be heard from close range, "Daddy came to see me, probably to see if I was doing so well with my wife." ”

Linglong's face was full of joy when she heard this, "The old man is willing to care about the girl, and said that it proves that there is still a girl in his heart, so he should behave well ---"

Mrs. Shen interrupted her, "How do you want the girl to behave?" Go out in a new outfit, and come back to change the old clothes after the old man praises? ”

"This, this ---" Linglong is not stupid, after Mrs. Shen's hint, it seems to make a little sense, but it is a little unreasonable.

Ruqing looked at Mrs. Shen gratefully and got up: "Okay, don't say any more." Linglong, you stay and make the bed for me, and Mother Shen and I go over to say hello to my father. ”

Linglong stomped her feet, "Girl, how can this be done, if you want to accompany you, I will accompany you, can you see people in my mother's clothes?" "In fact, what Linglong said is too exaggerated, the clothes on Shen's mother are much better than those of ordinary poor people, but compared to the face-wrenching mothers-in-law in Fangfu, they are indeed much worse, but the clothes are not torn or broken, but the color is old, there are some traces on the edge of the cuffs, and there are no beads and jewelry on the head. It is almost dressed like Xu Li's rough mother-in-law, and it is a little far from the mother-in-law with a face.

Ruqing deliberately looked at Mrs. Shen's dress, and smiled without a trace, "I think Mother Shen's clothes are good." ”

Linglong secretly rolled her eyes, feeling that she was very unlucky, and actually followed a stupid master.

Ruqing saw Linglong smash the pillow in the bed, shook her head secretly, exchanged glances with Shen Pozi, and slowly left the house and walked towards the main house of the Li family.

*

In other words, Fang Jinglan, who was sitting in the main hall of the Ulan Pavilion, drank all the tea, but still did not wait for Ruqing's figure, Li was accompanying him, and seeing that he looked impatient, he persuaded him angrily, "Don't worry, master, the young girl is young, and it is normal for people to love to lie in bed." Wait for her to be late, don't get angry with her, that kid is usually weird and sensible, but yesterday he was crazy with Rumei, and he probably won't be able to get up. Look, isn't Rumei just getting up? Rumei, who was already dressed properly, couldn't help but straighten her chest when she heard this, and said proudly: "Mother, I didn't sleep." She wanted to say that only Ruqing likes to sleep the most, but she thought that Ruqing said good things for her for a while yesterday, and felt that she should repay her, so she didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the winter sun outside had risen to a high level, and the girl who came back to report said that she was still grooming, Fang Jinglan finally couldn't help but lose her temper at the Li family, "You are the child's mother-in-law, the child has been punished and blamed for mistakes, why do you let her be so lazy and not enterprising?" ”

Li was scolded for no reason, and his heart was also angry, but he said in his mouth: "Can I be punished?" Rushan is the flesh of the master's heart, and I don't even dare to say a word of heavy words at ordinary times, for fear that the master will think that he has bullied her again. Ruqing is the same, but the lesson of fighting with Rumei for some quarrels has to use knives and guns Rumei, with the lessons of the past, do I dare to teach her a lesson? ”

Fang Jinglan was blocked for a long time and couldn't say a word, and finally had to snort heavily, "It's just that you have a lot of crooked reasoning." If you hadn't deliberately indulged her, how could you be so unenterprising, and you only know how to play all day long. ”

Li was so angry that the colorful sunrise red hanging beaded phoenix hairpin on the bun trembled sharply, and he wanted to refute, and thought of his purpose, and after his heart was smooth, he hummed: "I get up early every day and be greedy for darkness, take care of housework, and be busy with everything else, and almost my waist is about to break during this time, you are good, I didn't say a word of thanks, but I didn't come to accuse me." Okay, anyway, you have a reason, yes, Miss Qing has really been wronged by me, the master should take her back to Aunt Zhu, and I don't care about the children's affairs in the future. If it is true that next year's and the ceremony, and the weak crown ceremony of the knowledge ceremony, please also ask the lord to invite another master. Then he snorted again and sulked in the chair next to him.

At the beginning, Fang Jinglan would marry the Li family as a continuation string, firstly, because the Li family was the sister-in-law of the original wife, and secondly, no matter what the Li family said, she was also the aunt of the third sister and brother of Zhili, and she must not abuse or snub the children like other stepmothers, so she obeyed the words of the old lady and sister and married the Li family as a stepmother. And the Li family did not disappoint him, although it was not the type he liked, but the housewife was still more competent.

Seeing her so angry, Fang Jinglan also felt that he had taken his words seriously, if the affairs of this inner house were managed by a big man, it would be impossible, and it would be even more unrealistic to let the Zhang family manage the Li family on behalf of him. But he had long been accustomed to ordering the Li family from above, and this time he lowered his head and admitted his mistake and felt that he couldn't let go of his face, so he had to keep a cold face and wait for Ruqing to come before making another plan.

Finally, when Siyue had tea for the second time, Ruqing finally came.

Mrs. Shen followed Ruqing into the house, then stood behind her, bowed slightly to Fang Jinglan and Li, and stepped aside.

Ruqing greeted Fang Jinglan and Li respectfully, Fang Jinglan kept a calm face and refused to answer, and Ren Ruqing knelt on the ground. But Li couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly asked her to get up.

Ruqing got up timidly and said in a small voice: "My daughter is late to get up, please punish her father." ”

Fang Jinglan thought that Zhili Zhilian got up to study, and Zhiyi got up to practice martial arts, ten years like a day, never stopped, even Rushan got up every day as soon as dawn practiced hard, and the two daughters raised by Li's side, one slept until dawn before getting up, and the other slept until three poles in the sun, if he didn't come to see her, no one woke her up, maybe she would sleep until noon, and her face was always difficult to see.
