After Yun Niang and Ruan Yunsi finished speaking, they got up and left, and after a while, they saw Ruan Siqi also rushing over, and smiled at Ruan Yunsi: "Good sister, I heard that you just gave the seventh sister a hundred taels of silver to hold a chrysanthemum banquet, this is a coincidence, I also invited a few close friends to drink tomorrow, now why do you have to give me a few taels of silver to deal with it?" ”

"What? My brother also came to me and asked me for money? ”

Ruan Yunsi looked at Ruan Siqi angrily, but heard Aunt Liu smile and said, "Master, because you have such a big face, even my sister and I are ashamed of you." (Chinese every day.) [.360118 o'clock]"

Ruan Siqi straightened his chest and said proudly: "What's the shame of this? This is my sister of a fellow mother, my brother is now short of money, she has money, and a few contributions should be shared. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ruan Yunsi and Gu Shi were both angry and funny, and they talked about him.

Ruan Siqi couldn't stand the attack of his wife and aunt and sister together, so he took a few steps back in embarrassment, took out the momentum of a scoundrel, and shouted: "Well, do you give it or not?" ”

"What if you give and what if you don't give?"

Ruan Yunsi snorted coldly, but saw that Ruan Siqi, who was still amazing, suddenly lowered his head, and said dejectedly: "Oh, too...... I can't do anything, just give it to me, and don't give it...... Don't give me another way. ”

One sentence caused the third girl to laugh for a while, of course Ruan Yunsi couldn't help but give her brother money, because she also approved a hundred taels of silver, and then Fang Zhengse said: "Brother, this thing is a little inappropriate, there must be girls in Ming'er's backyard, your fox friends and dog friends want to enjoy chrysanthemums, don't you also want to come to the backyard, this ...... It's not a big deal, is it? ”

Ruan Siqi smiled: "What's wrong with this? In broad daylight. The big guys are all together again, even if they meet, what is the point of saying a few words and chanting a few poems? My sister doesn't know. The friends I invited were actually in touch with the girls invited by the Seventh Sister, even if they weren't brothers and sisters in the family. I can't say that there are relatives hanging on to it, the nobles in the capital are like this, after so many years of operation, which one has nothing to do with it? ”

Ruan Yunsi thought about it, it was indeed such a reason, so she put her mind at ease, and Ruan Siqi got a hundred taels of silver here. I also went to get it in a hurry.

Ruan Yunsi didn't take this matter to heart, Ruan Mingdie's entertainment didn't have to be herself, and those so-called celebrity ladies were afraid that they didn't want to see themselves, so as long as Gu Shi dealt with it. Ruan Siqi's friends didn't need to greet themselves, but they didn't know if Su Mingxi was also invited. I forgot to ask my brother just now, I don't know if he invited the little grandfather, if he did, would the other party come?

As soon as she thought of Su Mingxi, she couldn't help but feel a little messy in her heart, Ruan Yunsi sighed, and secretly said that she was wronged, she only said that time passed like flowing water, and sooner or later she would forget this feeling. But why is it that there is still no sign of success?

Because of this thought, she didn't even sleep well that night, tossing and turning until midnight, and when she got up the next morning, she saw that the whole back house was busy. The girls shuttled back and forth, with smiles on their faces. Even Aunt Hong, Aunt Huang, Aunt Yun and others were all beaming, strolling in the garden while talking, commenting on the ordinary or famous chrysanthemums that were placed everywhere, and suddenly saw Ruan Yunsi, the three of them couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and then they smiled, and stepped forward and said, "The third girl is going to the big grandmother's room?" Today, the seven girls invited many young ladies to come and see the chrysanthemums, don't you come? ”

Ruan Yunsi knew in her heart that they didn't want to come over by herself, which was understandable, in their eyes, she was a woman with a bad reputation, and she might help herself say a few words because of temporary interests, but on such a noble occasion, if she came over, wouldn't it be a shame for the Hou Mansion? Even the faces of their daughters are not good-looking.

Aunt Yun's daughter, that is, the fifth sister in Ruan Siqi's mouth that day, has been married, but Aunt Hong and Aunt Huang each have a daughter, Ruan Mingdie, as the only daughter that Mrs. Tong has ever had, naturally loves her like a treasure, looking forward to her finding a good family, which is also a piece of mother's heart.

Not to mention that Ruan Yunsi herself looks down on this kind of celebrity party, even if she can afford it, she will not go to make herself boring and disgusting.

So he smiled and said: "Today, a few of my sisters in the countryside and the loom are going to move over, I have to be busy with their affairs, the aunts have to clean up and dress up for a few sisters, and my brother has also invited a few friends from the family, and our house is bound to be lively today." ”

As soon as several aunts heard that she was not going, they all praised this Ruan Yunsi in their hearts, and their hostility towards her disappeared, and they all smiled and said: "So that's the case, I heard that the girl has a pair of skillful hands like a weaver girl, and now that she has moved to the house, she really wants to go and see it in her spare time." ”

After saying a few words, they went their separate ways. Ruan Yunsi thought that the Gu family would also help Ruan Mingdie Zhang Luo today, and she didn't know what she was busy with, so because she thought about it, she didn't go to the Begonia Garden, and walked around the backyard before coming to Ruan Siju's small courtyard.

Now this Siguo Pavilion has a new look, into the house, neat and bright, not to mention, even the Bogu shelf is not as empty as before, but added a lot of furnishings, although there are no valuable antiques, but they are all delicate gadgets, as well as Ruan Siju himself with soft mud to knead some farm tool models, shovels, hoes, plowshares, etc., are also lifelike.

"Who is it?"

Xu is Xiuhong heard footsteps in the house, and walked out while asking, and when she saw Ruan Yunsi, she smiled and said, "It turned out to be the third girl, why did you come here early in the morning?" The slave maid heard that the house was lively today, and the uncle came over yesterday, saying that he asked the slave and maid to prepare a new set of clothes for the second master, and took him to a banquet today. ”

Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "Siju must be impatient to deal with those sons and brothers, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to force him." While speaking, she walked in, and saw that Xiuhong was sewing a padded robe, measuring its size, it was Ruan Siju's size, she picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then praised: "What a handsome job, Xiuhong, your hands are really skillful." ”

Xiuhong seemed to be a little embarrassed to be praised, rubbed her hands and said shyly: "Where?" Compared with the third girl, the slave and maid are really muddy, but the second master is not concerned about what to wear, so the slave and maid will fool him, anyway, the second master did not choose. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled: "This is too modest, I think this dress is clearly better than the tailors." Yes, the day before yesterday, there were some skins in the house, and I asked my sister-in-law to remember to give Siju two pieces, but did I send them over? ”

Xiuhong hurriedly said: "Send it over, send it over, one piece of fiery fox skin, and the other is a full five mink skins, enough to make a fur for the second master, hey, I have lived for more than 20 years, I have never seen such a good skin, and I can't say that I haven't seen it, but in the past, how could such a skin fall into our hands?" Aunt Lin couldn't do it when she was there. It was rare that the fire fox's skin was not damaged at all, and the slave and maid wondered, could this fox be suffocated to death? ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled: "You don't understand this, right?" These skins were specially imported from the leather shops, which were traded in the north, and I heard that the men of the grasslands in the north were the most clever hunters, and could shoot an arrow into the eyes of a fox to death, so that the skins would not be injured. ”

"I see." Xiuhong looked at Ruan Yunsi with admiration, and said with a smile: "The third girl still knows a lot, the slave maid studied with the second master for a long time yesterday, and she didn't figure it out." Speaking of this, he slapped his forehead suddenly, stomped his feet and said: "Look at the slave and maid, the girl is here, and she doesn't know how to pour a cup of tea, the girl is sitting, the slave and maid are going to pour tea, the dim sum sent from the kitchen this morning is also very good, the second master has eaten a few pieces, and there is a plate." Alas! It's just that no one here has come here every day, and the slaves and maids can't even do things now. ”

As she spoke, the tea and snacks were brought over, Ruan Yunsi looked at the dim sum, tasted the tea again, and nodded: "Well, the kitchen can be regarded as doing things with heart, and this dim sum and tea leaves have not fooled you." ”

Xiuhong's eyes shone with water, and she said softly: "Who doesn't know that the back house is now in charge of the girl?" The kitchen has been ordered by the girl, where dare you snub us like before? Zhenzhen's life in the past few days has been much better than in the past few years combined. The second master is not as withdrawn as before, these days, the slave and maid are very happy to see him. ”

"yes, where did Siju go? Went to the backyard to see his land again? Ruan Yunsi couldn't help but smile and asked, and saw that Xiuhong also smiled, nodded and said: "No, fortunately, the girl has an idea, saying that the land will be turned over in autumn, and it will be frozen in winter, so it is better to wait for next spring to turn it over, otherwise, I will see that the second master will do it himself." ”

Before the words fell, he heard Ruan Siju's voice say, "What do you do?" Xiuhong, who are you talking to? With the words, Ruan Siju stepped into the door, and as soon as he saw Ruan Yunsi, he stepped forward with a smile on his face, glared at him with big eyes, and said, "Sister, but how many books have you brought me?" ”

Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "You are greedy, you want to read those advanced agricultural books at such a young age, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, I have already told Brother Nan and asked him to help you write a simple agricultural planting book, he has been planting in the countryside for so many years, and it is still okay to teach you to get started." ”

Ruan Siju heard that there was no book, and immediately became listless, Ruan Yunsi laughed in her heart, secretly said that things in the world are really hard to say, I just want to, this is crossing. But who would have thought that a child born in Houmen would be so fond of agricultural knowledge? It's a pity, this is in ancient times, if it is in modern times, maybe this is the second Yuan Heping teacher. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
