Chapter 113: Dependence

On this day, Jiang Ruonan was accompanying Mrs. Tai in the rosin courtyard.

The one who talked back and forth was Steward Li, who was in charge of the procurement in the hospital. Steward Li was about forty years old, thin, and looked 'smart' and capable.

"Mrs. Tai, the Wang Ji Silk Village that bought silk before said that silk is in short supply today, so the price of silk will rise by two cents, and the slave feels that it is not worth it, and goes to other silk villages to take a look, and the slave thinks that a newly opened cloud brocade silk village is very good, and the 'color' of the goods is almost the same, but the price has increased by one penny."

Jiang Ruonan couldn't help but doubt in her heart when she heard this, as far as she knew, the silk and satin fabrics in the house have always been made of Wang Ji, there are many people in the Hou Mansion, and the silk and satin fabrics purchased every year are not a small amount, it stands to reason that Wang Ji is a big customer, Wang Ji is an old businessman, how can he increase the price at will? Unless it is a situation that must rise, and it will definitely give a little discount to big customers, even so, how can this newly opened Yunjin have such a preferential price, if this kind of price can be done, why doesn't Wang Ji do it?

Mrs. Tai over there didn't doubt it at all, and nodded: "Even so, then buy Yunjin silk from now on." As long as the 'color' of the goods is not bad. ”

Steward Li replied: "The slave has seen it himself, and the goods will never lose to Wang Ji." ”

"Li is in charge of things, I am relieved, you see that it is done."

Steward Li said: "Mrs. Xie trusts. ”

After Steward Li went down, Mrs. Tai said to her: "Steward Li is still the son of my mother's family, and he married with me, and he has always been very reliable in his work, and he is a trustworthy person, so I will let him be in charge of the purchase." ”

After listening to Mrs. Tai's words, Jiang Ruonan's doubts in his heart decreased slightly, and he thought to himself, maybe he was too careful.

Not long after Steward Li left, Aunt Zhao came to Rosin Courtyard.

She first asked Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, and Mrs. Tai asked her to sit down and asked, "Come here at this time, but what is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Zhao sat on the side, a little cramped, she looked up at Mrs. Tai, moved her lips, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Only then did Aunt Zhao speak: "In the month before last, Tang'er took a maid into the room......"

Mrs. Tai frowned when she heard this: "This is the first few, didn't you say that Shao Tang is studying hard?" Why did you come up with this again? ”

Jiang Ruonan listened on the sidelines, but he sneered in his heart, how many? Not the two who died, this is the fourth! What men......

Aunt Zhao lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes: "I also know that Tang'er is not angry, and I also scolded him." ”

Mrs. Tai thought for a while: "Send it out, what are you doing with this kind of fox who specializes in 'door' yin* masters?" ”

"That's what I thought at first." Mrs. Zhao raised her head, and her tone was a little hurried, "I only found out about this matter in the past two days, and I wanted to send this slave out after returning to Mrs., but I only found out yesterday...... Only then did I find out that ......" Aunt Zhao glanced at Mrs. Tai's face and said in a low voice: "That Xiangyun is pregnant......"

When Mrs. Tai heard this, a sharp 'color' flashed in her eyes, and then she said lightly: "That's it, I have to lift the room!" ”

Aunt Zhao hurriedly knelt down: "Mrs. Xie." ”

Aunt Zhao went down happily, and Mrs. Zhao looked at her back and sneered: "I thought I didn't know her idea, what is the use of giving birth to more, my son is not angry, and no matter how much I give birth, it will be in vain!" ”

As if being 'provoked' by a stab, Mrs. Tai turned her head and said to Jiang Ruonan: "You have to work harder, now the Hou Ye is 24 years old." I don't have an eldest son yet...... and said, "Have you taken the tonic 'medicine' that I asked someone to send you every day?" ”

Jiang Ruonan replied: "I have eaten them all." There was a faint apology in my heart, Mrs. Tai was so dedicated, if she knew that she insisted on refusing to share a room with Master Hou, I don't know how angry she would be. But she couldn't force herself to make her happy.

Mrs. Tai smiled and held her hand: "I heard that a few days ago, Master Hou went to your house for a few days. ”

"Master Hou saw that I was injured and cared about my injury."

Mrs. Tai shook her head and said, "Not only that, but my son I understand, and the fact that he can go to your house in a row shows that he likes you very much in his heart." ”

Jiang Ruonan lowered her head and didn't speak, she remembered the scene when Jin Shaokang 'rubbed' her feet that day

Maybe, maybe he likes himself a little, just like he likes Yu Qiuyue and Huaqing Ruolin, that kind of liking is not what she wants.

On the other hand, Yu Qiuyue has been uneasy since Jin Shaokang walked out of her room on the night of her birthday. It wasn't until these days that she gradually discovered a happy event. She didn't keep moving, first told Mrs. Tai that she wanted to go back to have a look, and Mrs. Tai saw that she had not gone back once for so long when she married into the 'door', so she was approved, and she also prepared a gift carriage and followed the servant 'woman'. Let her go back to her parents' house in style.

After she went out, she secretly confirmed one thing before coming to her mother's house.

After meeting her parents and ancestors, Mrs. Yu took her 'daughter' to the room.

Mrs. Yu pulled the 'girl' to sit down on the 'bed' and began to shed tears.

"Are you good in the Hou Mansion, is the Hou Ye good to you, I have heard a lot of words in the past two days, I heard that the Hou Ye is very good to Jiang Ruolan, so Jiang Ruolan is embarrassed for you?"

Yu Qiuyue took out a handkerchief to help her mother wipe away her tears, "Mother, don't worry, I'm very good in the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye is also very good to me, although Jiang Ruonan is the main room, he doesn't embarrass my concubine much." ”

Mrs. Yu's heart was sour when she heard the words concubine, "I am the scholarly 'door' of the Yu family, and you are the 'daughter' of the concubine, who is not the main room, you don't listen to me, but you want to marry An Yuanhou as a concubine." said that Jiang Ruolan will never be your opponent, and the head of the Hou Mansion will be in your pocket sooner or later, but how can it become like this now? ”

Yu Qiuyue lowered her head and said: "Although my father is a five-grade, he is just an idle official, he doesn't have much real power, I didn't choose the draft, I don't marry Hou Ye, I can only marry a small official, even if it is the main room, what's the point?" Marrying Hou Ye is a gamble in my life, although it was a little difficult at first, but I didn't lose ......" She raised her head and looked at her mother, her eyes were amazing: "Because I now have the most powerful support!" ”

Seeing that her mother 'revealed' her suspicion and 'confusion', Yu Qiuyue changed the topic again, "This time my uncle's matter is ......"

"How?" Mrs. Yu's attention immediately turned to this matter.

Yu Qiuyue smiled faintly: "Master Hou said that there is no problem in transferring to the capital. ”

"That official position ......"

Yu Qiuyue lowered her head, "Master Hou said that he would do his best." ”

Coming back from Yu's house, Yu Qiuyue found out the red apricot.

Hongxing secretly 'touched' and 'touched' out, and kept looking around on the way, going around in a lot of circles, until she was sure that no one was following behind her, and then she came to the place where she had made an appointment with Yu Qiuyue.

It's already night, and the place where Yu Qiuyue asked her to meet is exactly the place where Yingxue and Steward Zhang met last time, and the Chiba Pavilion in the darkest and darkest in the Hou'hua' Garden.

"Hongxing, what's the news of Qiutang Courtyard during this time." Yu Qiuyue asked when she saw her.

Hongxing shrunk her neck, still looking around, always feeling that someone would jump out of the thick black shadow.

"Aunt Yu, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in the future, Madame already knows about my framing of Yingxue, and she doesn't want me to serve in the house, so I can't find out any news."

Yu Qiuyue smiled coldly: "In this way, you are useless to me, so why should I help you hide it?" Tomorrow, I will spread the word that I heard that day. "It was not easy for her to dig an eyeliner in the Qiutang Courtyard, how could she give up so easily?

Hongxing was startled, knelt in front of Yu Qiuyue and begged: "Auntie, I beg you to let me go, I really can't do it, what can you get if you harm me?" Now that I can't serve my wife's trust in the outer courtyard, it's already miserable, and if you do this again, you'll be 'forced' me to a dead end! ”

Yu Qiuyue squatted down in front of her and patted her head with the fan in her hand: "You are wrong, it was your wife who 'forced' you to a dead end, she didn't give you a chance, she kicked you out of the house, she let you never contact the Hou Ye again, or it won't be long before she will send you away with someone casually, you are a slave, the person you marry is a slave, the child you give birth to in the future is a family child, and you will be a slave for the rest of your life!" Hongxing, if you don't plan for yourself, you are this life! ”

"But what else can I do......" Hongxing cried quietly: "Master Hou doesn't like me, Madam is guarding me now, I feel like being stared at everywhere I go, I don't dare to do anything, I'm afraid." Even if I help my aunt, what can my aunt do for me......"

"So you don't believe me......" Yu Qiuyue sneered, "You don't think I have the ability to help you, Hongxing, you are wrong, now I definitely have this ability!" ”

Hongxing stopped crying, raised her head, and looked at her. Yu Qiuyue leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Hongxing stood up in shock, "Auntie, are you serious?" ”

"Would I joke about this kind of thing? Now I just owe a chance, this opportunity, I need your help! As long as you help me, Hongxing, I will definitely be able to fulfill your wishes! ”

Hongxing was silent for a while, Yu Qiuyue waited patiently, without saying a word, and after a long time, Hongxing raised her head and looked at Yu Qiuyue: "I...... I can try again, but auntie, you can't lie to me! ”

Yu Qiuyue smiled slightly, her smile was infinitely coquettish: "I swore it, have you forgotten?" ”

On the first day of the new year, Wang took the finished clothes to Qiutang Courtyard.

Wang's expression was haggard, his eyes were a little puffy, Jiang Ruonan naturally knew why, just yesterday, the pregnant maid, named Xiangyun, was carried out of the room.

"Madam, look, are you satisfied with this dress?" Wang brought the garment to the round mahogany gilt table in front of her.

Jiang Ruonan looked at it, the pink brocade, the white 'colored' group of 'flowers', the yellow 'colored' 'flower' stamens, the green leaves, the stitches were neat, tight, and very beautiful.

"Very well done, my brother and sister's needlework really deserves its reputation, I like it very much, thank you."

There was no joy on Wang's face, "What's the use of good needlework......

Although he has always disliked the Wang family, seeing her like this, Jiang Ruonan's heart is not happy. I don't know what to say.

Fortunately, Wang didn't continue on this topic, but just introduced the clothes, and asked Jiang Ruonan to try them on to see if there was anything that didn't fit, and then took it back to modify.

In the evening, Jin Shaokang came to Qiutang Courtyard again according to the regulations.
