Chapter 11: Amazing Prelude
The night in Binh Duong Province was very restless, there were no lights on the streets, the sound of footsteps was frequent, and the sound of door banging was undulating like a wave.
Someone had the courage to open the window and peek twice, black clothes, black shoes, black fences, in short, there were many black shadows.
The yellowish light in the shop was projected on the ground, a mess of footsteps, looking up, the man in black took out the silver dangling thing and threw it inside, and the shopkeeper babbled hoarsely, I don't know whether to cry or laugh.
After a chaotic bang, it calmed down.
The next street is in the same situation again.
The next day, the morning fog was curling, and three carts pulled three large boxes to the gate of Ruan's mansion.
Ruan Yanzhe had just come out of the bed, and when he heard the news, he rushed towards the gate with a shallow foot.
"Virtuous ...... The eldest prince is here to give gifts? ”
Ruan Yanzhe tiptoed past Xu Heng and looked at the three large wooden boxes painted with gold, the coachman was holding on to the handkerchief and wiping his sweat, and the cart was not moving like a mountain, which made people think about it.
This dowry gift was given too early, Miaoyi's wedding day is not this year.
Xu Heng arched his hand: "Such a trivial matter should not bother my father-in-law." ”
Ruan Yanzhe was overjoyed by his shout of "father-in-law", patted his big belly and said: "Miaoyi accompanied her mother back to her parents' house today, and left before dawn." ”
Xu Heng only said that he was here to give a gift to the third miss, and it didn't hurt if he couldn't see the second miss.
It turned out to be to see that little ancestor. Ruan Yanzhe clenched his fists and coughed, and pointed in the direction of Xifu: "The door is there, ha, I'm sleepy and go back to sleep." ”
"How can the Ruan family be so rude!"
Qingtong noticed that Xu Heng was looking at him coldly, and he couldn't help but feel the pain of the old wound on his body, and then closed his lips tightly.
Mrs. Ruan was no longer sleepy when she was old, and she hurriedly called her mother-in-law to help her, and a bunch of people rushed over.
Ruan Miaoqing and Ruan Dao, brother and sister, got up in the morning to read, listened to the report from the next person, held the book and lifted the skirt, lifted the robe, and trotted all the way.
The gate of Nguyen Mansion was full of people.
"Come early in the morning to deliver something, the second lady will be happy when she comes back......"
"It's not Miss Two, it's Miss Three......"
"The box is so heavy, it's a good thing, the third lady is really blessed......"
Old Mrs. Ruan shielded the gossip behind her ears, her nose kept moving, and she stared at Xu Heng.
This man will be the support of his second granddaughter Miaoyi in the future, and he will embark on a career with a promising future, why, why should he provoke that person in Xifu! He didn't want to be right, but he wanted to whisper and ask to marry the daughter of the princess.
"Mr. Xu is here to see the three girls?"
Xu Heng glanced at the crowd of people inside, who should have come but didn't come, and who shouldn't have come.
"Yes, please also ask the old lady to be accommodating, and the younger generation can see the third lady if he has important matters."
Old Mrs. Ruan said: "It's not that I'm not accommodating, the affairs of the West Mansion have never been under the control of the East Mansion. ”
The same is true for people.
In Xu Heng's opinion, the announcement is just a very simple matter, but the old lady Ruan pushes back, as a member of the Ruan family, can't she even manage a Xifu?
"Since the third miss is inconvenient at the moment, then the juniors will wait, and the third miss will naturally be able to go out when the weather is warm."
It's time for people to go out, Mrs. Ruan grinds her teeth, if Er'er Yanliang is still alive, she can find a reason to pinch Xu Heng to death, even if something goes wrong, her son is still in front of her.
Now that the eldest son Ruan Yanqi is the prefect of Boryeong, the distant water can't save the near fire, and the third son Ruan Yanzhe has no fame, and her wife stumbles and doesn't go well with anything.
"Go, please come over to the third lady." Old Mrs. Ruan instructed, it is not the Xu family that is embarrassed if it goes on like this, and it can't be caused by the little ancestor.
The fog slowly dissipated, and after two quarters of an hour had passed, no one had been seen, and the old lady Ruan began to feel uneasy.
"Greetings to the old lady."
A bright little maid came from under the corridor, and rushed to the old lady Ruan like a hungry wolf, and suddenly stopped in the center of the gate on her tiptoes, and saluted the old lady.
Xu Heng's eyelids jumped, and the maid's footwork was a little ......
Old Mrs. Ruan looked back, except for her mother-in-law or mother-in-law, "What about the third lady?" ”
Wen'er blinked: "Miss said that everything is done by the slave maid." She turned her head to look outside, and only Xu Heng and his entourage were in her eyes, and as for the three big boxes, there was nothing in them.
Xu Heng stepped forward, "You are the maid who accompanied the third lady to the street yesterday?" Do you remember saving a noble dog in the west of the city? ”
"Noble dog? Miss and I didn't save your dog yesterday, but the stupid old yellow dog saved one. ”
"It's the old yellow dog, I raised it." Xu Heng said urgently.
Wen'er looked him up and down a few times, "No wonder...... So the eldest prince is here to repay his kindness today? ”
Seeing that the time came, Xu Heng hurriedly ordered someone to open the box and pick up a butterfly kite, "These two hundred kites are my thank you gift to the third lady." ”
The men were about to start moving, and asked and pointed to the gate of Xifu: "Move there, the third lady doesn't live here." ”
The eldest lady looked at the car in the distance and secretly observed the old lady's expression, "Two hundred kites are a big deal, and they should have belonged to Miaoyi." ”
Old Mrs. Ruan squinted, "The big deal is secondary, as long as the person is in the heart, it is tolerable to mess around." With these 200 toys, she can also save a sum of money this month, didn't she buy Huang Ju because of the shortage of money a few days ago, go make up for it. ”
The eldest lady remembered that Huang Ju, who was transported to the mansion of Princess Lingyang, could also stay in her own courtyard, so she was overjoyed and hurriedly arranged it, and bumped into Ruan Miaoqing and Ruan Dao who were standing under the porch.
Ruan Miaoqing said: "Mother really plans to use the third sister's money, just for a few pots of flowers?" ”
The eldest lady said angrily: "Which is the money of the third lady, these silver coins are spent by your second aunt, what's wrong with buying a few pots of flower decorations." By the way, the third lady got so many toys this time, you sisters and brothers went to Xifu to ask for one, so that you can save a lot of money. ”
Ruan Dao's eyes widened: "Mother, why did we live poorer after my father became the prefect?" ”
The expenses are squeezed bit by bit from Xifu, and the food list is secretly backed up from Xifu, and now he has to be cheeky to reach out even for play, he doesn't like it.
The eldest lady patted her children on the shoulder: "The third lady's new toys are not moved to the house one by one, and ten warehouses are not enough, and there will be no less meat than the two of you." ”
Naturally, there will be no less meat, but the self-esteem of people who are born will be so overwhelmed that they can't hold their heads up.
Ruan Miaoqing and Ruan Dao have reached the age where they can read words and distinguish between right and wrong, and this is also an age when they want to resist but can't.
The two finally persuaded their mother: "The third sister has grown up, and my mother can no longer look at her with the eyes of last year, and the mother should put it off for the time being, maybe my mother will be surprised after today." ”
As soon as the eldest lady sneered, Ruan Miaoling alone could surprise her? That's really underestimating her.
Ruan Miaoling does not participate in the morning province every day, does not abide by the family rule of "no exit from the door, no step out of the second door", and the raised maid is ruthless with sharp teeth and sharp mouth......
Dongfu still worships her as a bodhisattva, just because she is not amazing.
